The lights in the study finally came on, and the maids waiting around him breathed a sigh of relief.
The leading female envoy, Dan Qing, knocked on the door and asked, "Princess, do you want to pass on the meal?"
Luo Qingzhi said: "No, you all go down and rest."
"yes."
Zhixin sighed alone, Luo Qingzhi looked at her and asked: "The matter in Yaowang Valley is very difficult? Do you need my help?"
Zhixin shook her head, looked at Luo Qingzhi worriedly, and said, "I'm a little worried about you. There is no other doctor around you except me. Although I left some medicine for you, I'm still a little worried."
Luo Qingzhi also had doubts in her heart. After thinking about it, she asked, "What is the specific purpose of your return to Yaowang Valley this time?"
Zhi Xin said: "...the specific matter, my father did not say anything in the letter."
"Okay, the journey is long, please pay attention to safety, don't be impulsive when things happen, and remember to write a letter when you need help." Luo Qingzhi said.
Zhi Xin gave a faint "hmm".
On the second day, Zhixin packed her bags and headed to Lingnan Yaowang Valley.
Before leaving, he pulled Gao Zhen and said something, but the two of them seemed reluctant to leave.
Zhi Xin's carriage moved further and further away, and Luo Qing Zhi said: "Go back."
Gao Zhen nodded, and the two returned home. Gao Zhen asked: "Aluo, don't you ask what Sister Zhixin told me?"
Luo Qingzhi listened to Gao Zhen's different names for the two of them and said, "You call Zhi Xin sister. I am the same age as her. Why do you never call me sister?"
Gao Zhen asked tentatively, "Then, do you need me to call you sister?"
Luo Qingzhi thought for a while, shook her head and said, "It's up to you, it's just a title."
Gao Zhen smiled and said, "Yeah, okay."
Passing by the martial arts arena, Luo Qingzhi said: "I will find someone else to teach you martial arts. Don't worry, take care of the literary test first."
"Um."
After taking Zhixin's medicine for five days on time, Zinnia no longer had its effects. Gao Zhen made great progress under Fan Li's guidance, but his martial arts did not improve.
The twentieth night of the twelfth lunar month
Qin Shu came to the study to report to Zongzheng Temple.
"Master, I have checked and found that the former prince was indeed the child of the late emperor and Concubine Shu. All the birth certificates are there. I also found the nanny who delivered the baby. There is no problem."
Luo Qingzhi nodded without asking too many questions. Thinking about Li Chu's matter, she asked again: "What about Li Chu's matter? Do you have any clues?"
Qin Shu frowned and said displeased, "Master, I am just one person with one mouth. You want me to investigate the former prince and the former deputy general. I am too busy."
Luo Qingzhi put down the purple hair pen in her hand, stared at Qin Shu, and said coldly: "I'll give you three more days, and if we can't find anything anymore, you can go to General Meng of Yizhou. He has wanted you from me for a long time.
Already."
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Qin Shu saluted and left.
As soon as Qin Shu left, Luo Chen, who taught Gao Zhen martial arts, came in.
"master."
Luo Qingzhi asked: "It's so late, what happened?"
Luo Chen seemed a little embarrassed, and after Luo Qingzhi's urging, he said: "Master, this second young master Luo really has no foundation in martial arts, and I can't teach him."
Luo Qingzhi said calmly: "It's okay, just do your best."
Luo Chen's eyes widened and he was confused and asked: "Master, doesn't he want Princess Luo to win the first prize?"
This made Luo Qingzhi puzzled and said, "When did I say I would let him win the first prize?"
Gao Zhen, who came to see Luo Qingzhi, happened to hear this and stopped knocking on the door.
Luo Chen heard the footsteps outside the house and signaled to Luo Qingzhi that there was someone outside the house. Luo Qingzhi nodded and Luo Chen went to open the door.
"Second Young Master Luo?"
Luo Qingzhi walked to the door. Gao Zhen looked at her with a food box and said, "I saw that you didn't have dinner today, so I came to see you with some pastries."
Luo Qingzhi was silent for a while and said, "No, I don't want to eat."
Gao Zhen didn't even raise his eyes, said "Okay" and turned around to leave.
Gao Zhen's loneliness was even felt by Luo Chen, who looked at Luo Qingzhi and said something tentative.
"Master, the Second Young Master is afraid that he was hurt by what you just said, so you should go and comfort him."
Luo Qingzhi glanced at Luo Chen and said, "What, now you want to take care of my business too?"
Luo Chen immediately shut up, bowed and left.
She wanted to continue reading, but thinking about Gao Zhen's lost figure just now, she actually felt like she had done something wrong. She hesitated for a while, sighed to herself, and walked outside Gao Zhen's room.
I knocked on the door and waited for a while, but no one answered the door.
Luo Qingzhi thought to herself, "Did he fall asleep?"
After knocking again, no one answered the door after waiting for a while, so Luo Qingzhi turned and left.
I looked back three times in one step to make sure no one would open the door, and then I walked normally.
I wanted to go back to the study directly, but I walked towards the martial arts arena unknowingly. Just as I walked to the outside, I heard the sound of archery. When I got closer, I saw it was Gao Zhen.
She has never seen Gao Zhen practicing martial arts before. Before, Feng Zinan reported back, and now Luo Chen reported back. This was the first time she saw Gao Zhen practicing martial arts.
Although it was a simple rake, Gao Zhen was indeed as Feng Zinan and the others said. His martial arts skills were beyond words. Luo Qingzhi stood for a while. He shot six arrows, but none of them hit the rake...
...
Perhaps feeling weak, Gao Zhen stopped what he was doing after the seventh arrow and squatted on the bluestone.
Luo Qingzhi stood still for a while, then walked forward, squatted down, and said, "Haste makes waste."
Gao Zhen looked at Luo Qingzhi and said, "Aluo, you never thought that I could win the championship?"
Luo Qingzhi didn't want to lie to him, so she nodded and said, "It's too difficult to win the first prize, Erlang, there's no need to force it."
Gao Zhen said: "I know that I am not qualified to be by your side, but I will not give you up to others."
Luo Qingzhi helped him up but did not answer. Gao Zhen said again: "A Luo, you, have you never thought about recruiting a son-in-law?"
Luo Qingzhi glanced at him and said, "Keep talking.
"I heard it just now." Gao Zhen said.
Luo Qingzhi knew it, but still asked: "What did you hear?"
Gao Zhen sighed slightly and said, "I just heard what Mr. Luo said. You never thought that I would win the championship." He paused for a while and said, "But Mr. Fan and Mr. Luo were never partial when they taught me."
, I will try my best, and I also know that Aluoding will not stay in the capital and become a stay-at-home wife."
Luo Qingzhi looked at Gao Zhen. He lived in the princess's mansion. He was a little stronger, but more importantly, she felt that Gao Zhen was a little different.
Gao Zhen added: "In this period of time, I have never seen A Luo worry about recruiting a son-in-law. Although I don't know what A Luo's tricks are, I know that this son-in-law will not be successful."
When Luo Qingzhi looked at Gao Zhen, he had some appreciation. He could think of this based on his observation of himself and a few words. In time, he would definitely have a lot of ideas in terms of strategy.
It started to rain in the sky. Gao Zhen had just practiced archery and took off his coat. Luo Qingzhi was worried that Gao Zhen would fall ill again, so she said, "Go back first, it's raining."
The two of them had just returned to Luo Qingzhi's yard. The light rain turned into a heavy rain. The sound of rain hitting the eaves covered the two people's voices. In order for each other to hear each other's words clearly, the distance between the two was shortened to one meter.
fist.
Although Gao Zhen was thin, he was still half a head taller than Luo Qingzhi. Gao Zhen looked at the water droplets on Luo Qingzhi's forehead. Without thinking much, he brushed it away with his thumb. The sudden contact made Luo Qingzhi startled and stepped back.
step.
Gao Zhen's hand didn't have time to retract it, so it just froze in the air.
Luo Qingzhen said: "Sorry, people on the battlefield are not used to sudden touches."
Gao Zhen nodded and asked in a low voice: "Aluo, you haven't had an attack for a long time?"
Luo Qingzhi said: "Well, Zhixin's medicine is very effective. I will never have another attack in the future."
"..."
"So, I don't even have the chance to get close to A Luo." Gao Zhen felt a little lonely.
Luo Qingzhi said: "Erlang, I seem to have never asked you."
"Um?"
"How have you lived in the palace for the past ten years?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
During this period, whenever I got along with Gao Zhen, he always looked like a pleaser, and I didn't know how he survived in the past ten years.
Gao Zhen shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter anymore. You're back, and nothing matters anymore."
She nodded and said: "If you don't want to say it, forget it." Then she added: "There are specialties in martial arts, but you can give up on martial arts. Since you already know that I will not recruit a son-in-law, then there is no need to work so hard.
.”
Gao Zhen was silent for a while and said, "Then, if I win the title of leader, will Aluo marry me?"
"..."
Fan Li and Zhi Xin also asked her this question, but she didn't answer it at that time, because she knew in her heart that without foreign aid, Gao Zhen would not be able to win the championship, and if there were foreign aid, then Gao Zhen would not be her husband.
.
Now, Gao Zhen asked this question herself. She didn't think about how to answer it. A lot of time had passed in silence.
Gao Zhen stopped asking, and suddenly thought of what Zhixin once said to him, "A martyr girl is afraid of entangling her husband."
Relieved, he smiled and lowered his voice, but it was enough for Luo Qingzhi to hear.
"Anyway, Alo is already mine."
Luo Qingzhi's face suddenly felt hot, and Gao Zhen added another sentence.
"I am also one of Aluo's, you have to be responsible for me."
Luo Qingzhi has always listened to women saying words to men. For the first time, she was questioned like this by a man, and for a moment she didn't know how to refute.
Luo Qingzhi raised her head and asked: "Responsible?"
Gao Zhen lowered his head and said, "Yes, take responsibility."
Luo Qingzhi paused and said, "Well...how do you want me to be responsible?"
Gao Zhen's smile was even wider, giving him the feeling of a fox.
"Aluo, please marry me."
"Ahem." Luo Qingzhi coughed a few times, suddenly unable to cope with such an explicit Gao Zhen.
Luo Qingzhi took another step back and said: "Erlang, stop joking, I am a woman and you are a man, why should I marry you? It should be..."
"What should it be?" Gao Zhen asked excitedly.
Realizing that she had been tricked, Luo Qingzhi stopped talking and said "Hey", "Erlang, follow Mr. Fan well and rest early."
After saying this, Luo Qingzhi entered her room almost as fast as she could escape. This chapter has been completed!
