Naturally, Xiao Jue couldn't tell Qin Zhen why he wanted to find Lou Yan. He just wanted to send Qin Zhen away first.
Qin Zhen didn't bother, and just said: "His Majesty the Third is no longer what he used to be. When he wins the battle in southern Xinjiang and makes great achievements, he will be a new noble in the court and a popular person in His Majesty's eyes."
"It's just a little strange. He is going to leave early tomorrow morning, but no one except me came to see him off today."
Qin Zhen looked at Xiao Jue and said with some confusion: "Your Highness, why do you think it is?"
Xiao Jue looked thoughtful and remained silent for a long time.
Qin Zhen didn't push him, and just said to herself: "However, it's a good thing that you, my eldest brother, came to see him off. If His Majesty knew about it, he would definitely feel that you two have a close brotherly relationship, and he would be happy in his heart."
One sentence was like a heavy blow on Xiao Jue's head.
Yes, why didn't anyone come to see Lou Yan off?
There is also Xiao Yao, who is also Lou Yan’s brother. Why didn’t he come?
If His Majesty knew that he had come to see Lou Yan off, would he be moved and happy because of their deep brotherhood, or would he be afraid that the prince was forming a clique to win over his brothers?
Xiao Jue figured this out, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
Now His Majesty is seriously ill and suspicious, and he, the crown prince, is also deeply suspicious. If he makes one wrong move, the emperor may find out, and he may be deprived of his position as crown prince.
Xiao Jue's face turned pale for a moment, he raised his head to look at Qin Zhen, and murmured: "You are really my noble..."
Qin Zhen blinked: "What?"
"It's nothing," Xiao Jue said to her, "Shall I take you out to play?"
After that, he turned around and left with Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen looked at him in surprise: "Didn't you say you wanted to discuss something with His Highness the Third Prince?"
"It's not a big deal. I'll let my subordinates tell him." Xiao Jue smiled and said, "No matter how big the deal is, it's not as important as being with you."
Qin Zhen sneered in her heart. Just now she looked like she wanted to get out of her way and get out of the way, but now she seems to be reluctant to let her go.
It's so fake and disgusting.
However, Qin Zhen was able to take Xiao Jue away and prevent him from causing trouble for Lou Yan, so Qin Zhen could barely tolerate him.
When the two of them walked out of the Third Prince's Mansion, Xiao Jue realized that he was a few meters away from her. Finally, the two of them got into two carriages and left one after the other.
We walked around the city and finally stopped at a hidden teahouse.
Qin Zhen was taken into the box, where Xiao Jue was already waiting for her.
It's also hard for Xiao Jue, a dignified prince, to see someone actually hiding like a thief.
When Xiao Jue saw her coming, he hurriedly pulled her to sit next to him and said softly: "The dim sum at this tea shop is excellent, you can try it later. If you like it, you can come here often in the future."
Qin Zhen glanced at him: "How often can Your Highness bring me here?"
Xiao Jue: "...Zhen Zhen, wait for me for a while, okay?"
"I know, you can definitely understand me, right?" Xiao Jue looked at Qin Zhen and said softly, "You know my current situation is very difficult. My father doesn't trust me, and my fourth child is always against me.
Now every step I take is like walking on the tip of a knife, and I don’t know when I will fall off.”
"There is no one I trust anymore, only you."
Xiao Jue said these words from his heart.
His mother, before she died, was still plotting against him and wanted his life. His brothers from the same mother also began to fight with him, and now it is almost a life-or-death situation.
His princess plotted against him from the beginning, and died suddenly in the end. An infant child was so sick and weak that he didn't know how long he could live.
There was only Qin Zhen beside him.
Qin Zhen seemed moved when she heard what he said.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "Actually, I went to Lingjin Temple today."
Xiao Jue was a little surprised and confused as to why she suddenly mentioned Lingjin Temple: "Why did you go there suddenly?"
"I suddenly wanted to go, so I went." Qin Zhen smiled and said, "Guess who I saw?"
Xiao Jue was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Who did you see?"
Qin Zhen smiled and said, "I was lucky enough to meet Master Hui'an."
Xiao Jue's face went blank for a while, and then he said in shock: "Did you really see him?"
Qin Zhen nodded and described Master Hui'an's appearance.
Xiao Jue said: "Yes, yes, he is right."
He looked at Qin Zhen in surprise and said, "I didn't expect that you were so lucky to meet him."
"Actually, I asked Master Hui'an for something." Qin Zhen looked at Xiao Jue steadily and said softly.
The expression on Xiao Jue's face disappeared little by little, and the heart in his chest was about to jump out of his mouth.
He forced himself to calm down and asked softly: "What do you ask for?"
Like a magic trick, Qin Zhen suddenly had a peace charm in her hand.
She looked at Xiao Jue and said softly: "Didn't you say that the Queen once asked Master Hui'an for a peace charm, but you didn't have it?"
"Now, you have it."
Qin Zhen gently placed the peace talisman on Xiao Jue's hand and smiled.
Xiao Jue looked at the peace charm in his hand and then at Qin Zhen, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.
His heart, which had always been broken, seemed to have been repaired by something. The whistling cold wind disappeared, leaving only layers of warmth.
He slowly grasped the peace talisman in his hand, and finally held Qin Zhen in his arms uncontrollably, and said solemnly, "Zhen Zhen, I will never let you down in this life!"
A flash of disgust flashed in Qin Zhen's eyes, and she raised her hand and patted Xiao Jue's shoulder.
The two sat in the tea shop for a while, Xiao Jue was afraid of being discovered and left early.
As soon as Xiao Jue left, Qin Zhen got up and went back home.
The first thing I did when I returned home was to take a shower, and by the way, I burned all the clothes on my body that had been touched by Xiao Jue.
She couldn't help but laugh out loud when she thought of the way Xiao Jue held the peace talisman tightly close to her body.
Master Hui'an did give him a peace talisman, but the peace talisman was currently hanging around Lou Yan's neck.
The one Xiao Jue has is just a random purchase from a vendor outside the temple, one copper plate per piece. If you buy more, you can get a few more as a gift.
Can a little beast like Xiao Jue be worthy of Master Hui'an's peace charm?
Outside the tub, Manman was scrubbing Qin Zhen. When he wiped her arms, he couldn't help but touch the Bodhi handpiece on her: "When did the princess get such a string of handheld hands? It looks very special."
Qin Zhen glanced at the hand and said lightly: "Is it special?"
Manman nodded and said, "But didn't the princess not believe in this before?"
I have never seen anyone holding these things in my home.
Qin Zhen leaned on the bathtub with her eyes closed, rubbed the Bodhi beads in her hand with her fingers, and said softly: "I will believe it from now on."
I just hope that as Master Hui'an said, sincerity leads to spiritual success and the building will be safe.
