In Fengyi Courtyard, Zhou Huai asked Yun Ling: "I'm leaving, I can't take you with me, what are your plans?"

Yunling's eyes turned red immediately, and holding back the tears that were about to flow from her eyes, she hurriedly said: "Wherever Miss goes, I will follow. I only want to serve Miss by my side for the rest of my life."

"I'm not going back to Zhou's house, I can't take you with me, and I don't know if I can have a peaceful life in the future. You are a good girl, smart and hardworking, and you are safer anywhere than by my side. If you don't want to be in Beijing, I will I can send someone to send you back to Yunzhou to reunite with your sister, or even give your sister back her freedom, you choose."

Yunling looked at Zhou Huai's expression, and finally said firmly: "I am willing to obey Miss's arrangements."

Zhou Huai shook his head slowly, took out an envelope and stuffed it in, and said, "Here is your deed of sale and the 1000 tael bank note, take it carefully."

Yun Ling shook her head and refused, Zhou Huai sighed lightly, and persuaded: "You have to make plans for Yun Shu even for yourself, why not take this opportunity to find a good way out, and use the money to buy some fertile land or shop A small business should be enough, it's better than staying in the Zhou family and being a house slave for generations. You think about it carefully, and tell me your choice before holding the lamp, and I will help anyone who needs my help."

"Miss..." Yunling cried and accepted the envelope, Zhou Huai smiled and wiped her tears: "Why are you crying? Everyone in this world will live the same after leaving."

Yunling suddenly thought of something, her heart trembled, she came to her senses, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "I want to stay by the side of His Royal Highness Princess to serve."

Zhou Huai was taken aback, stared at her for a while, nodded and praised: "Yun Ling, you are still so smart. Well, I will tell her personally that after you take care of yourself, I will also send a message to Yun Shu It was arranged in the past." Zhou Huai said, remembering something, and handed over a gold order: "And this, you keep it. If she encounters trouble in the future and has no time to send me a message, she will go directly to the palace to find Wu Mingtai .”

Yunling took it carefully, looked at Zhou Huai, held back tears and kowtowed three times before going out.

A trace of shame flashed in Zhou Huai's eyes, and when he turned his head to look at the snow outside the window, he returned to his previous indifference.

After a while, a court lady came in and reported, "His Royal Highness is here."

Zhou Huai smiled, put on a small cloak made of snow fox fur, and went out to pick it up in person: "It's early enough."

The eldest princess ignored her, and took off the colorful crane feather brocade cloak and ermine felt hat for the maidservant standing beside her, revealing the brand-new goose-yellow cotton robe she was wearing underneath, with a belt from Zhou Huai tied around her waist, and a pair of The buckskin and wool short boots, if you don't look closely, you might think they are young men.

Zhou Huai sized her up, his eyes paused for a while on the jade belt she gave her around her waist, and then he smiled, waved to let all the maids in the room go down, put a hand stove in her hand, and brought out a small one himself. The stove boiled water to make tea.

Both of them didn't speak first, one made tea and the other drank it quietly.

Because Zhou Huai still had thick bandages wrapped around his shoulder blades, he only wore loose and thin white obscene clothes inside the house.Although nothing was revealed, the eldest princess still avoided her eyes from time to time.

The ground dragon burning in the house was exceptionally warm, Zhou Huai leaned slightly on the bed, and said with a comfortable and leisurely look: "Why did you say you came to see me yesterday?"

"You speak first."

"You'd better tell me, what I said must be more troublesome than what you said."

The eldest princess choked, and then said: "Why is the fourth brother suddenly so close to you? Or are you planning to go to Wuliang City again?"

The eldest princess' eyes were cold.She has been thinking about Zhou Huai's actions recently, and finally realized that Zhou Huai wanted to kill someone with a knife.So first divorce her relationship with Wu Mingtai, after she didn't respond, even if she planned to use the crown prince to kill the king and father, now the crown prince failed, then, isn't it Wuliang city's turn?The eldest princess always felt that Zhou Huai was frivolous and rash on the outside, cold and heartless on the inside, and now he was walking fast and restless, so she had to come over and warn him.

Zhou Huai's expression was astonished, and the eldest princess felt an inexplicable anger when she saw this: "Nothing to say?"

"How can you tell that I'm getting close to him, or are you jealous? But he's too young, what can I do with him? He can't be eaten or used, and it's a waste of food to keep him." Zhou Huai smiled brightly.

The eldest princess's face darkened, and she said directly: "Then don't contact him again."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhou Huai nodded nonchalantly, and asked again: "The Princess's mansion has been completed, when will you leave the palace?"

"It should have been years ago, but the date hasn't been determined yet." The eldest princess answered absently. She was going to remind the other party to be careful of those who guard the queen on the road, but she hesitated before speaking, still thinking about how to be tactful and accurate. The other party understood what she meant.

"Then how about I give Yun Ling to you as your housekeeper?"

The eldest princess was stunned when she heard the words, looked at Zhou Huai, and said: "A gentleman does not take what others like, and she probably doesn't want to."

"Since I said it, she is naturally what you want."

The eldest princess shook her head.A maid like Yun Ling, although excellent, but a loyal servant is difficult to serve the second master, she will never accept: "Forget it, didn't you say that she was sick and threw things? Feng cannot afford to be destroyed."

"Just because of this?" Zhou Huai laughed, and then lowered his voice and said, "It's easy to handle. I just happened to know a secret room where the treasure is hidden. You and I cooperate to steal the beam and change the post. How about four or six minutes afterwards?"

The eldest princess was startled, she sat up straight and asked, "The treasure from the previous dynasty? Is it true? How did you know?"

Zhou Huai blinked and revealed a meaningful smile: "So you know it too."

The eldest princess stared at Zhou Huai in silence.She has always heard about the treasures of the previous dynasty, saying that the last emperor of the previous dynasty fled, and many of the treasures that could not be taken away were sent by loyal guards to a certain underground secret room for storage in the future. .During the natural disaster in the previous life, this statement intensified.Some officials even boldly wrote a letter, speculating that the founding emperor Wu Yunhao, who had no precedent, did not order the palace to be burned down and chose to continue to live in it. Thinking that this rumor should be true, he asked Zhixiang to send people to dig around the palace.Although in the end the official was ransacked and exiled immediately after writing the letter, the fact that there were treasures from the previous dynasty in the palace became a "royal secret" that went away.

"Do you know where it is?" After the eldest princess asked, seeing Zhou Huai nod with a smile, but she was not ready to say more, she asked in doubt, "What? Since you did this for her, why didn't you take her away?" ?”

Zhou Huai's smile deepened: "Because she is the only person in this world who treats me wholeheartedly. Of course, she should be kept away from me. If she dies, I will cry."

The eldest princess glanced at Zhou Huai in surprise before continuing to ask, "What are your conditions for cooperating with me?"

"The condition is to keep her safe, and then there is another question I want to ask you: What did you and Liao Qiwei say in the room last time?"

"Why don't you ask her?"

Zhou Huai spread his hands: "I don't know her well, and she is known for her intelligence. I don't even know if she may have made up a lie to deceive me. But you are different. You don't bother to lie, and even if you lie, I am willing to be deceived by you. "

"But what if the treasure you mentioned lied to me?"

"Even if you don't have any treasures, you can get a servant girl for nothing, but can you lose money? Besides, besides your heart, what else do you have that I should try to deceive?"

The corner of the eldest princess's mouth twitched slightly, and then she took out a finger-long black flat knife-shaped thing from the kit. Except for the blade and handle, it was lifelike. There was blood in the middle, and it was engraved with strange symbols like talismans. The small print of the text.The eldest princess held the knife in her hand, looked at Zhou Huai with a strange expression, and said, "I didn't say anything, I gave this thing, and told me 'Using this to kill a person wearing a five-color bracelet can save the world'. "

When Zhou Huai heard this, killing intent flashed in his eyes.Seeing that the eldest princess didn't seem to be joking, she curiously took the black sharp knife from the other party's hand, looked at it twice and said, "If you want to kill someone with this length, it can only pierce your heart."

The eldest princess was silent, but kept staring at Zhou Huai's reaction with blazing eyes.

Zhou Huai pretended not to see, gritted his teeth secretly, but said with a smile on his face: "It's really one after another, that guy is really not a good person."

After Zhou Huai finished speaking, he whispered again: "It seems that the soul-fixing bracelet should be the soul-binding bracelet."

The eldest princess didn't hear her muttering clearly, so she took back the knife and said, "Now we can discuss about getting the treasure, right?"

Looking at the other party's calm expression, Zhou Huai took out a few pieces of paper from the other desks and said, "I've made a plan. You should take a look at it first. If you find anything wrong, we will We can discuss it again."

The eldest princess took it, glanced at it a few times, then straightened her expression, and looked carefully.

Zhou Huai didn't bother, got up and went to the screen stand, took out a wooden box, took out the bottles and cans inside, and began to undress and change dressings.

The eldest princess smelled the medicine, raised her head and glanced casually at Zhou Huai, only to realize that the wound on Zhou Huai's shoulder had almost healed. In these nine cold days, it was impossible for her to recover so quickly due to her injury. There was something wrong. , could not help but tentatively asked: "Is your physique different from ordinary people?"

"It's just that the wound heals faster." Zhou Huai glanced at her with a smile, and began to bandage it skillfully.

"It's more than that. I heard that Miss Fang once said that you can kill a wolf with a stick."

Zhou Huai was taken aback, thought for a while and said, "It's just a weak and lonely wolf."

The eldest princess didn't believe it, so Zhou Huai added: "I am evenly matched with it, and I just win by taking advantage of it's unpreparedness."

"Really?" The eldest princess was noncommittal, looking at the large black and purple bruises on her chest and back, she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you?"

"What's left after soaking in the medicinal bath will disappear in two days. Do you want to try it?" Zhou Huai explained, looking at the eldest princess with a half-smile, which made the eldest princess unconsciously avert her eyes.

The eldest princess shook her head, and said no more, she looked away and continued to look at the paper in her hand.
