A few days after the incident, the palace was even more heavily guarded, and Li Luo was as usual, without any abnormalities. .
?b?i?q?u?g?
The areas around Qingxin Tower are also tightly guarded by the Tiger Guards. In addition to protecting Li Luo's safety, they seem to have some surveillance intentions.
Li Luo turned a blind eye. Although Prince Chun did not have any suspicion, he was worried that something might happen to Li Luo.
Fortunately, Li Luo seemed to be very sensible. For several days, he either slept with his head covered or wandered around the house with nothing to do. Although there was some trace of fear remaining in his expression, there was no other difference. Prince Chun felt relieved.
Li Luo saw the opportunity, hid it from Su Xue, and quietly came to the backyard of the palace.
Li Luo had been to the backyard of the palace two years ago. This time when he came in alone, he realized how big the backyard was. It was full of strange pines and rocks, and exotic flowers and fruits competed in the forest. The path under his feet was also made of stones.
Enough to stay.
Hearing the sound of water, I meandered along the path. The sound of water got closer and closer. As I turned around a huge boulder, the sound of water suddenly disappeared, and the scenery in front of me changed again.
In Zhuo City, probably only Prince Chun's Mansion has such an extensive garden, and even the Royal Forest Garden may not have such grandeur.
There is almost no way to find the way in the backyard. The mountains are steep and the trees are deep. It looks like a deep mountain and a great river. On weekdays, few people come here. Only Prince Chun will put in a few mountain birds and beasts for entertainment when he is bored.
In Zhuocheng, which is like gold, only Prince Chun has such power.
Li Luo followed Luo Er here several times and barely knew the way. He made several detours and passed through a cave. Suddenly, he saw a patch of green bamboo, a stretch of clear water, and a thatched hut in front of him.
Li Luo crossed the bamboo bridge and stood in front of the thatched hut and looked carefully. Suddenly, a bush next to him rustled. Li Luo was startled and moved a few steps. He looked intently and saw a round tree sticking out from the bush.
It has a huge head with a few leaves stuck to it.
When the visitor saw Li Luo, he seemed to be surprised and hurriedly tried to get in. Li Luo quickly called out, "Are you Qiuji?"
The visitor paused, stuck his head out, and asked doubtfully: "How do you know my name?"
"I met you with Luo'er."
Qiuji exclaimed: "I remembered, you are Brother Luo. Hey, why don't you see Sister Luo'er coming with you?"
Li Luo said in a harmonious voice: "Luo'er has gone far away and it will take some time to come back. She asked me to come here for something."
Qiuji looked around carefully and saw that there was no one else but Li Luo, and then he jumped out, but she was a simple and honest girl, who seemed to be not much older than Li Luo, with a childish look on her face.
Qiuji was a servant who took care of the flowers and plants in the palace. He had a low status. One day, for some unknown reason, he got into an argument with Zi's concubine's maid and was humiliated.
Luo'er met Luo'er by chance, but couldn't see that the maid was bullying others, so she spoke out to save the siege and taught Concubine Zi's maid a lesson. When the maid saw that it was Luo'er, she didn't dare to contradict him and left in despair.
This incident made Qiuji burst into tears of gratitude, and he clung to Luoer whenever he had nothing to do, like a follower.
Li Luo has met Li Luo several times. Although Qiuji is a bit clumsy, he has a very kind heart and is extremely talented in growing flowers and grass. Luo'er did not mention who Li Luo was. Qiuji is obsessed with flowers and plants, and usually spends most of his time in the backyard.
He didn't even know Li Luo, so he just thought he was a familiar friend from Luo'er's house. They got along casually and just called him Luo Ge'er. Luo'er didn't feel it was rude, and Li Luo also felt it was new, so he agreed and said
A few words can be regarded as familiarity.
Li Luo smiled warmly and said, "Why are you so panicked?"
"Brother Luo, you don't know that there are always guards searching the backyard these days. Sister Luo'er asked me not to let others see me. Fortunately, I am familiar with this place and I changed places several times in a row without being discovered.
Brother Luo came by chance, I wasn't here yesterday." Qiuji said as if he was taking credit.
"Oh? Luo'er stayed here some time ago?"
"Yes, Sister Luo'er and her grandfather spent some time in the backyard, and it seemed that they were teaching Luo'er something. However," Qiuji lowered his voice, "Sister Luo'er's grandfather was gloomy and dull all day long.
Yes, her appearance is far different from that of Sister Luoer."
Li Luo smiled softly and said, "Are you in the house right now?"
"Yeah." Qiuji leaned in front of Li Luo and whispered, "A few nights ago, a man suddenly came back. He was covered in blood. It was scary. I don't know what happened. He seemed to be about to die. What if he was really dead?
Now, what should I do if Sister Luoer asks me?" Qiuji said with a sad face.
At this time, a hoarse and cold human voice came from the room: "You little girl speaks freely and is looking for death."
Qiuji stuck out his tongue, but there was no fear on his face. He smiled and made a face at Li Luo.
Li Luo praised Qiu Ji a few words and went into the house with Qiu Ji.
After entering the thatched hut, Li Luo looked startled. The hut was made of grass and mustard to keep out the wind, and the walls were made of mud. Several places were damaged. The autumn cold had arrived, so it was indeed too dilapidated.
Li Luo glanced up and saw an old man in black sitting on a small bamboo couch in the corner looking at him coldly. Sure enough, as Qiuji said, his face was dull, his eyes were narrow, he had a few long beards, and his eyes were empty.
It was so hollow that it made people shudder after looking at it. The face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and a hint of dark gray could be seen.
Li Luo was shocked. Just looking at his face, he seemed to have run out of oil.
Although Li Luo didn't recognize the old man in front of him, he had heard the old man's voice. It was the man in black who wanted to take Luo Er away from Changchun Courtyard that day. However, he didn't expect that he would be injured so seriously. In a few days, he might be seriously injured.
Too much luck.
The old man looked at Li Luo coldly and said in a cold voice: "What are you doing here?"
Li Luo was angry, but remembering Luo'er's instructions before his death, he suppressed his anger and said calmly: "Luo'er told me to take care of my senior."
"Fake compassion, if it weren't for you, how could this little girl..." Before he could finish his words, Li Luo hurriedly interrupted him and scolded: "Senior, be careful what you say."
The old man's eyes flashed with murderous intent, he glanced at Qiuji, snorted coldly, and remained silent.
Qiuji was confused, looked at Li Luo, and asked blankly: "Brother Luo, what's wrong with sister Luo'er?"
Li Luo forced a smile and Wen Yan replied: "It's okay, I just left the palace."
Qiuji said oh, looked at Li Luo, and then at the old man in black, confused, then scratched his head and said with a smile: "You guys say it first, I will go outside the house to take a look. If someone comes over, I will have to move to another place."
Where is the place?" After saying that, he ran out of the hut.
Li Luo and the old man in black looked at each other speechlessly. The old man in black glanced at Li Luo in disgust and closed his eyes.
Li Luo felt sad, sighed, and whispered: "Luo'er..."
"Shut up, Luo'er girl gave her life in vain. You're stupid. I don't want to see you again. Get out!" The old man cut off Li Luo's words and said Sen Han.
Li Luo's anger surged and he shouted loudly: "Senior said it well, since you know this trip is dangerous, why did you bring Luo'er into the house?"
"Ignorant child," the old man's eyes widened angrily, and he scolded in a cold voice, "Luo'er entered the house just because he was afraid that you would die in the hands of assassins. Don't think that the assassins can't detect your presence except for Luo'er to lead the way.
Where? If I hadn't given her a whistle, how could I have arrived in time? Luo'er has been around you since before the assassination plot began. If you are safe, she will leave the palace with me. Hum,
Unexpectedly, you are so ignorant, not good at learning, and still want to fight with others, risking Luo'er's life in vain. I never thought that Luo'er would risk her life to protect you, the successor to the throne. Sure enough, this palace is finally
She is willing to be harmed only if she never recovers."
Li Luo swayed, unable to stand, and slowly sat down on the ground.
Qiuji heard the movement in the house outside and ran in quickly. When he saw Li Luo sitting on the ground, he hurried over and asked Li Luosheng what happened.
Li Luo didn't say a word for a long time. Qiu Ji became anxious and glared at Duanmu Shenzhou and said: "You old man, why are you still bullying Brother Luo? If you weren't Luo'er's relative, I would have taught you a lesson!"
The old man rolled his eyes and ignored her. Qiuji was about to step forward to argue, but was pulled back by Li Luo.
Li Luo struggled to stand up. Qiuji hurriedly supported Li Luo. Li Luo said hoarsely: "It's okay. I just heard that something happened at Luo'er's family. The elder was seriously ill. Luo'er rushed back in a hurry. Maybe
I won't be able to come back for a long time. I'm worried about Luo'er and I feel uncomfortable for a moment. It has nothing to do with the old gentleman."
"Oh," Qiuji suddenly realized and said to the old man in black with a smile, "it turns out that I have wronged grandpa, hehe."
The old man snorted coldly and didn't take it seriously.
Qiuji then said distressedly: "Then when will Luo'er come back?"
Li Luo looked at Qiu Ji and said, "The elders in the family will come back when their condition improves. It's okay. I'll miss Luo'er then. I'll take you to find her."
Qiuji clapped his hands happily and said, "Okay, okay."
Li Luo said with a strong face: "Qiuji, Luo'er is not here during this period. You must take good care of your senior. You must not delay Luo'er's instructions."
Qiuji nodded vigorously and said, "I'm going to watch outside. If someone comes, I'll let you know." After saying that, he ran out without waiting for Li Luo's consent.
