Qin Zhen carefully put away the peace talisman, put her palms together and saluted the old monk, and said, "Thank you, master."
This time, the old monk did not accept Qin Zhen's courtesy and moved slightly to the side.
Lou Yan took Qin Zhen and walked out.
He always felt that the old monk was playing tricks on himself.
But seeing the way Qingzhen valued the peace talisman, Lou Yan couldn't say anything.
The two of them walked out of the backyard and heard the sound of voices.
Lou Yan pulled Qin Zhen back to the tree-lined road, walked back slowly, and asked Qin Zhen by the way: "What wish did you just make in the palace?"
Qin Zhen: "Of course I can't tell you."
"Huh?" Lou Yan looked sideways, "You still want to keep it a secret from me?"
Qin Zhen smiled and said, "My wish won't work if I say it."
Lou Yan didn't force it. The reason he asked was because he wanted to talk to Qin Zhen. As for what she wished for, Lou Yan was a little curious, but he didn't really need to know.
Qin Zhen didn't want to say it, and he didn't care at all.
The two of them walked a few steps, and Qin Zhen seemed to see a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. She had no time to react, so she subconsciously shook off Lou Yan's hand.
Lou Yan was stunned and was about to ask her what was wrong when he suddenly heard a yell: "Lou Yan!"
Lou Yan's eyes flashed, he looked up and saw Xiao Jue walking quickly with a cold face on the other side of the bluestone road.
Lou Yan instantly changed into an expressionless face, and the gentleness that belonged to Qin Zhen completely disappeared. His whole aura suddenly became gloomy and violent, gradually becoming more and more like the mute and living king of hell in the rumors.
's overlap.
Xiao Jue stepped forward quickly and without saying a word raised his foot to kick Lou Yan.
Without thinking, Qin Zhen reached out and pulled Lou Yan behind her.
Lou Yan had just been injured. If Xiao Jue kicked him until the wound opened, he would definitely suffer.
Xiao Jue kicked the air and stared at Qin Zhen in disbelief: "Are you protecting him?"
Qin Zhen felt disgusted in her heart, but she still said to Xiao Jue: "I am protecting you."
Xiao Jue was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Don't you know that he was seriously injured in an attack the day before yesterday? Your Majesty sent the imperial army to protect the third prince's mansion, and issued a death order to ensure the safety of the third prince." Qin Zhen looked at Xiao Jue and said in a deep voice, "What if he is safe today?"
If you get hurt again, it will be my father's dereliction of duty. When His Majesty asks for the blame, will you go and bear the responsibility for my father?"
Xiao Jue had heard about this matter.
But seeing Qin Zhen protecting Lou Yan, Xiao Jue still felt very unhappy.
He said with a cold face, "Then you shouldn't protect him."
Qin Zhen sneered, took a step back, let Lou Yan out, and said, "In that case, your Highness, the Crown Prince, feel free to take action, but it's best to beat him to death here. When His Majesty asks for his guilt, as the Crown Prince, you will not have to worry about your life. I
Taking my Qin family to death can be regarded as being loyal to the prince."
Xiao Jue finally realized that something was wrong with Qin Zhen.
"Why are you so angry today?" Xiao Jue frowned and looked at Qin Zhen and said, "Don't say that, you know that I am treating you...how could I watch you and the Qin family being questioned by His Majesty?"
Qin Zhen had a cold face and said nothing.
Xiao Jue took a deep breath, turned to look at Lou Yan who was standing on the side, and said in a cold voice: "I have warned you long ago not to get close to Zhen Zhen, but you have turned a deaf ear to my words, right?"
Lou Yan narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
Xiao Jue was angry: "Speak."
Lou Yan didn't seem to hear and still didn't speak.
Xiao Jue couldn't help but feel angry and wanted to attack Lou Yan. But seeing Qin Zhen standing aside, Xiao Jue had no choice but to endure it.
This wild dog has become less obedient since Lou Shulan died.
Xiao Jue looked at Lou Yan, his eyes gradually becoming colder.
There is no use keeping a disobedient dog around. The only way to deal with it is to drag it out and beat it to death.
He pointed at Lou Yan and said word by word: "Even if I have a dog, it still knows how to wag its tail at me. I saved you from fire and water back then and sent someone to see your seriously ill mother. What do you think?
Have you forgotten it a long time ago? An ungrateful person like you is worse than a dog."
Lou Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. He looked at Xiao Jue and said calmly: "You have helped me, but I have paid you back long ago after I have worked hard for you for so many years."
Xiao Jue said angrily: "You will pay it off as soon as you say you will pay it off?"
Lou Yan ignored his rage and said calmly: "I've always had a clear distinction between grudges and grievances. I've written down the accounts between you and me very clearly."
Xiao Jue frowned: "What do you mean?"
Lou Yan had already lowered his eyes and refused to say anything more.
Xiao Jue wanted to ask again, but Qin Zhen on the side suddenly said: "Your Highness, did you come to Lingjin Temple today just to quarrel with the third prince?"
Xiao Jue was brought back to his attention by her and said quickly: "Of course not, I am here to see you."
"Since you are here to see me, let the third prince go back." Qin Zhen said calmly.
Xiao Jue turned to look at Lou Yan: "Why don't you get out of here?"
Lou Yan stood still, his eyes fixed on Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen pursed her lips and had no choice but to say to Lou Yan: "Third Prince, please go back first. I will talk to His Highness and I will go down the mountain on my own later."
Lou Yan's hand hanging by his side slowly clenched tightly. After a while, he said one word in a hoarse voice: "Okay."
After saying that, he walked through the tree-lined avenue and went down the stone steps without looking back.
Xiao Jue looked at his back and said angrily: "What does he mean? Ignore me?"
Qin Zhen calmly reassured: "Now that he has to rely on my father to ensure his safety, he will naturally be polite to me. Your Highness, please don't argue with him."
Xiao Jue took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Wild dogs are just wild dogs. They can't be raised even if they are tied on a rope. They are unruly things."
Qin Zhen frowned and her tone was very impatient: "Your Highness, are you really here to see me and not just come to see the third prince?"
Xiao Jue frowned: "Of course I'm here to find you."
Qin Zhen curled her lips and said, "But His Highness the Crown Prince keeps saying that he is the third prince."
Xiao Jue: "...I won't talk about him anymore."
He looked at the Lingjin Temple not far away, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Why didn't you say anything to me when you came here? I just came with you, why do you need Lou Yan?"
Qin Zhen said calmly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to hide everything when giving a gift, and usually he doesn't even dare to pass by my house. How can I dare to come to you for such a thing?"
Xiao Jue was silent for a moment, looked at Qin Zhen, and asked, "Are you blaming me?"
Qin Zhen paused, then sighed and said, "No."
"I just haven't been out for a long time and wanted to get some fresh air. It happened that the third prince was free, so we came together."
"Why are you so close to him?" Xiao Jue frowned, still worried.
Qin Zhen only said: "Because in the whole capital, he is the only one who dares to approach me and say a few words to me. Coupled with the friendship we met at Longhu Mountain, we are more or less familiar with each other.
