Back at the Princess's Mansion, Luo Qingzhi asked Zhixin to help treat Gao Zhen's wounds and went to the study alone.
When Feng Zinan heard the sound of the door opening, he immediately turned around and saluted.
Luo Qingzhi looked at the man in black in front of her, nodded slightly, and said, "It didn't leave any traces."
Feng Zinan nodded and said, "No, they are very weak."
Hearing such comments, Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "What, after just a few days in Jinling, have you become arrogant?"
Feng Zinan explained, "I don't dare, but the young master of the Jin family is really mediocre in martial arts. The eldest master of the Jin family didn't take action. I don't know what to do?"
Luo Qingzhi asked back, "Isn't this Jin Zijue hiding his strength?"
Feng Zinan shook his head and said: "I used some cruel moves. If a person can hide his strength when his life is in danger, he must have profound skills, but the young master of the Jin family is not."
"Okay." Luo Qingzhi said, breathing a sigh of relief, and continued: "I still trust you when it comes to martial arts. Jin Ziji didn't take action, so I don't know what his strength is."
Feng Zinan said: "Do I still need my subordinates to find another opportunity to give it a try?"
Luo Qingzhi shook her head and said: "No, after this time, the Jin family will strengthen the guard. It will be bad if any traces are exposed."
"yes."
"By the way." Luo Qingzhi asked: "How did Erlang get out?"
Feng Zinan lowered his head, lowered his voice, and said, "Young Master, you did not allow him to go out. I have something to do today, and Mr. Fan also went out, so there are no classes today."
Luo Qingzhi sighed slightly, seemingly helpless, and said: "Okay, then, after two days of teaching, how about Erlang?"
Feng Zinan lowered his head a little more and said, "I'm not as good as the young master of the Jin family. If you play like this, you will definitely lose."
Luo Qingzhi held her forehead, waved her hand, and said: "Go down, just do your best in teaching, don't force it, and let Qin Shu prepare well."
"yes."
Luo Qingzhi came out of the study, thinking that she had not seen Luo Qingrou for several days, so she came to her yard.
Caihuan came out with tea. Seeing that Luo Qingzhi was a little flustered, she was stunned for a moment before saluting.
"Happy Princess."
"Yes." Luo Qingzhi nodded slightly and said, "Is your girl in the room?"
Caihuan said: "Well, yes, the girl has been suffering from wind and cold these past few days and has been unable to see the wind, so she has been recuperating in her room."
Luo Qingzhi frowned and said, "Didn't I say it was better the day before yesterday? Why is it still so serious?"
Caihuan didn't know how to answer and could only be stunned. Luo Qingzhi passed her and prepared to go in and take a look.
As soon as her right hand touched the door, Caihuan said: "No, princess, the girl said that she is sick and does not want to pass it on to others, so she will not let the slaves in."
"I'm in good health, it's just the cold." Luo Qingzhi said, already pushing open a gap.
There was a force inside the door that blocked the door.
"Cough, cough, sister, don't come in." Luo Qingrou's voice was weak.
Listening to Luo Qingzhi's weak voice, she felt anxious and said, "Ah Rou, what are you doing? Let me go in and see you."
Luo Qingrou blocked the door and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, cough, sister, I don't want to pass on my illness to you."
Luo Qingzhi sighed and said, "I'm not afraid of these."
"Sister," Luo Qingrou coughed violently and said, "I'm afraid."
Luo Qingzhi put down her hands, compromised a bit, and said, "Then I'll let Zhi Xin come and see you, so that you can feel at ease."
"......good."
"You take good care of your girl, I'll go and invite Zhi Xin." After Luo Qingzhi said this, she turned and left.
As soon as Luo Qingzhi stepped out of the courtyard, the room opened from the inside. Luo Qingrou was wearing a big cloak, her face was haggard, and there was a drop of red blood at the corner of her mouth.
"Girl, why did you open the door? It's windy." Caihuan said.
Luo Qingrou gathered her clothes, looked outside, and asked, "Was sister angry just now?"
Caihuan helped Luo Qingrou back to the room and said with relief: "How is it possible? How could the princess be angry with the girl."
Luo Qingrou lay on the bed, looking at the bed curtain, motionless.
"But, girl." Caihuan called her and said, "If Miss Zhixin comes to see you, your illness will no longer be hidden."
Luo Qingrou said: "It doesn't matter, I have a solution, Sister Zhixin will help me."
Zhi Xin had just finished helping Gao Zhen take care of the wound. She saw Luo Qingzhi walking quickly, grinned and said, "Why, are you so worried about your second son?"
Gao Zhen stood aside and also cast his eyes on Luo Qingzhi.
Luo Qingzhi didn't explain too much, took Zhixin's hand and said, "Come with me to see Ah Rou."
"Arou? What's wrong with her?" Zhixin asked.
Before Zhi Xin could ask any more questions, she was already being pulled several steps away, and Gao Zhen hurriedly followed.
Zhi Xin has been in Luo Qingrou's room for half an hour, but there has been no movement.
Seeing that Luo Qingzhi was very anxious, Gao Zhen said: "It's okay, the county master has always been in good health."
Luo Qingzhi lowered her head, thinking about how Luo Qingrou had been living in the palace for the past ten years, even though she had been taken care of by her grandma. In fact, she had no idea how she had lived. She turned her head and looked at Gao Zhen
, asked in a low voice: "How has Arou lived in the palace these ten years?"
"..."
Gao Zhen was silent for a long time, then slowly spoke, "It's actually rare for me and the county lord to meet each other in the palace, but every time we meet, she is very nice."
This time it was Luo Qingzhi's turn to be silent. Ten years ago, in order to restrain her, Gao Yan allowed Luo Qingrou to live in the palace in the name of a gift, but in fact he was using her as a hostage.
Zhixin opened the door and came out.
Luo Qingzhi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Aro, are you okay?"
Zhi Xin nodded and said, "It's pretty good, but I caught a cold."
After listening to Zhi Xin's words, Luo Qingzhi also breathed a sigh of relief and took a few steps forward, but was stopped by Zhi Xin.
"The little girl is sick and looks haggard. I don't want to worry you, my sister, so you should go with her wishes."
Luo Qingzhi stopped and said, "Okay."
"I'm going to prepare Arou's medicine. Don't worry, it will be fine." Zhixin said.
Luo Qingzhi glanced at the closed door, stayed for a while, then turned and left.
Gao Zhen followed her, feeling indescribably sad in his heart. He thought about five years ago, when he was so hungry that he went to the small kitchen in the Queen's Palace to steal a few shortbread cookies. He never thought that before he walked out of the hall,
He was caught, and the queen had her men beat her for a long time in the name of stealing.
That night, he was tied to a stool and hit with a wooden board in front of all the maids, knocking away his self-esteem and breaking his calf. It happened that both Gao Yan and Luo Qingrou left the palace, and Manchu
No one in the palace pleaded for him, only his poor mother-in-law, whose forehead was bruised and blood flowed all over the floor, and the queen did not relent.
That time, he thought he would be beaten to death, but suddenly, the emperor's decree was spread throughout the palace by eunuchs.
"Your Majesty has a decree. Everyone in the palace, high or low, should kneel down immediately to pray for Princess An Ning. Anyone who resists the decree will be beheaded immediately!"
"...Your Majesty has a decree. Everyone in the palace, high and low, should kneel down immediately to pray for Princess An Ning. Anyone who resists the decree will be beheaded immediately!"
The queen sitting in the hall sneered. She didn't dare to resist the decree, so she said, "Stop it. Didn't you hear the decree?"
Gao Zhen was put down and pressed to his knees on the ground. He didn't know what happened to Luo Qingzhi. He only knew that Luo Qingzhi was far in the north and saved him again.
Luo Qingzhi, who was walking in front, didn't know that Gao Zhen was thinking about her kindness. She just noticed that the person behind her seemed to be in a daze. She said, "Erlang, what are you thinking about?"
Gao Zhen came to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
Luo Qingzhi asked: "You have been taking classes for two days, how do you feel?"
Gao Zhen lowered his head, and after a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "My qualifications are stupid and I let Mr. Fan and Mr. Feng worry about it."
Luo Qingzhi comforted her and said: "I heard that there are successive generations. Although the past ten years have been neglected, hard work can make up for weakness, so you can do your best."
"But." Gao Zhen stared at Luo Qingzhi and said solemnly: "I want to come to you."
The wind suddenly picked up, touching a pool of winter water and raising their hair.
Luo Qingzhi walked a few steps closer, met his gaze, and asked word for word: "You, why do you like me?"
Gao Zhen looked away, paused, looked at Luo Qingzhi again, and asked: "Why don't you like me?"
"..."
Luo Qingzhi smiled helplessly and said, "I don't want to play word games with you. If you don't want to say it, forget it."
She turned around and left, then stopped and asked, "Do you need anything? If so, just tell Feng Zinan and he will take care of it."
Gao Zhen nodded and said "Yeah".
"Aluo." Gao Zhen called her.
Luo Qingzhi turned around, "Huh?"
Gao Zhen asked: "Do you want me to win?"
"..."
Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "Why don't I want you to win?"
Gao Zhen also smiled and said, "I will work hard."
Study room on the second day
After lunch, Fan Li came to see Luo Qingzhi.
"Sir, do you want to see me?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Fan Li said: "You want to tell you about Luo Erlang."
Luo Qingzhi said: "Sir, please tell me."
Fan Li sighed first, and then slowly spoke, "This Erlang is indeed of average qualifications, and he has been wasted for ten years. I'm afraid the literary examination will be sad."
Luo Qingzhi nodded and said: "Yes, I understand. Sir, just teach a child and do your best."
Fan Li glanced at Luo Qingzhi, sighed, and said, "You never thought he would win, you just wanted me to teach him, right?"
"..." Luo Qingzhi said: "Yes, and no."
She stood up, served tea to Fan Li, and said, "Gao Zhen was originally an imperial prince. If it hadn't been for the palace coup, he would have had a bright future. However, I can't bear to end up like this."
Fan Li was a little angry and said: "Emperor Wen was cruel. Even without the palace coup ten years ago and without His Majesty today, there would have been others who would have risen up. Although I say this a little unkindly, Gao Zhen's current outcome is already
The best yet.”
Luo Qingzhi said: "I know it too, but as long as I am sure that he has nothing to do with the former Qin Dynasty, I still want to help him more. Maybe my father also means this."
Fan Li said "Hey" and said, "Okay, I understand." This chapter has been completed!
