In the evening, a group of people ate at the same table, and Lu Qingtang deliberately sat next to Ji Wenzhan.
Ji Wenzhan smiled so hard that he didn't even close his mouth, and his hands didn't stop. He kept picking up vegetables for Lu Qingtang, while Mo Zeshen's face turned green. He was so angry that he ate half of his meal, turned around and left, leaving everyone at the table baffled.
Of course Lu Qingtang knew about it, but he pretended not to care. Still the next morning, he asked Ji Wenzhan to go shopping together and asked Mo Zeshen if he was going. Mo Ze felt so angry that he almost ate her.
So Lu Qingtang simply didn't even take the child with him, and only stayed with Ji Wenzhan. The two of them were like a pair of strangers, which made Mo Zeshen even more angry. He was so angry that he didn't even eat dinner.
Lu Qingtang didn't react much when he found out. Anyway, she wasn't the one who was so angry that her stomach hurt. Mo Zeshen just let him do it if he insisted on committing suicide.
She did so not just to make Mo Zeshen jealous, but more to get the token from Ji Wenzhan. She wanted to see if there was any difference between the token dropped by the assassin that day and the token from Zhennan Palace.
This morning, Lu Qingtang and Ji Wenzhan went shopping again. Lu Qingtang looked at the guards coming in and out of the house and asked casually, "Hey, why do those guards have tokens on them? That token looks so beautiful. "
Ji Wenzhan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, each of the guards in our palace has a token, and there will be a pattern on the token to indicate the identity. These are specially compiled by my father for the guards. They will not repeat."
Lu Qingtang pretended to be curious, "What kind of code can I see?"
"this……"
Ji Wenzhan hesitated.
Lu Qingtang smiled, cleared his throat and said, "Just don't show me, it's okay."
After hearing this, Ji Wenzhan waved his hands quickly, "It's okay, it doesn't matter. I can't understand these codes anyway. Only my father knows about them. It doesn't matter if you take a look."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to call one of the guards, "Take out the token."
The guard quickly ran over and took off the badge from his waist.
Lu Qingtang took it and looked at it, and Ji Wenzhan pointed out the code to her, and she immediately understood.
"It turns out that this is the code. This is so interesting. King Zhennan is really awesome." Lu Qingtang couldn't help but praise him, and then asked him cautiously, "Can you take this brand back to me and have a look at it, and study it carefully."
Before Ji Wenzhan could speak, the little guard turned pale with fright.
Ji Wenzhan explained: "Miss Tang, everything else is fine, but this sign is not good. These tokens are their lives. The tokens never leave their bodies. Without the tokens, they are dead."
Lu Qingtang understood, so he returned the sign to the guard and continued to go shopping with Ji Wenzhan.
She already had an idea in her mind. The assassins deliberately dropped the sign in front of them in order to lure them to the Zhennan Palace so that Mo Ze could investigate Ji Wuhen in depth.
In other words, someone must have framed King Zhennan for his rebellion, and he may be innocent.
…
After getting this idea, Lu Qingtang read almost every sign in order to confirm Ji Wenzhan's statement. His so-called coding position is a pattern, various patterns, and everyone's pattern is different.
Ji Wenzhan also told her that a guard in the palace had gone missing, and his token was immediately turned away. Regardless of whether he is alive or dead, he has disappeared in the palace.
Lu Qingtang asked around and found out that the missing guard's token had a pattern of Shidi.
After getting the news, Lu Qingtang told Mo Zeshen after returning from the street.
She held the sign and pointed it to Mo Ze to take a closer look, "Look, on the tokens of the palace guards, there is a pattern in this position. There are various patterns in this position."
Following the position of Lu Qingtang's finger, Mo Zeshen saw a pattern of persimmon stems.
"I also looked at the patterns of other guards. They are all different. There are grape vines, wishful cloud patterns, and water ripples." Lu Qingtang said to Mo Zeshen.
Mo Zeshen nodded, "I understand what you mean, which means that this sign is fake, and those who assassinated us were not the palace guards. But how could it be such a coincidence that a guard disappeared at this time."
He said, taking a deep breath, "This thing is so strange. I even doubt that King Zhennan was really framed, but who it is, I dare not doubt."
When he said this, he actually had some idea in his heart, but he just didn't dare to say those two words.
Lu Qingtang understood him, so he asked again: "Then will you continue to investigate?"
Mo Zeshen sneered, "Of course I want to investigate, and I have to do it openly. After the investigation is completed, I can go back to Yanling. I will never come to this place again and see someone flirting with others."
A smile appeared on Lu Qingtang's lips. She stood up and looked at Mo Zeshen, "Yeah, hurry up and leave so that I don't have to flirt with others. I'm quite tired and it's not my own business. I got up on the pole to help others. It’s really boring if you don’t fall well.”
After saying that, she turned around and left. Before she could take two steps, Mo Zeshen pulled her into his arms.
Mo Zeshen's warm body was filled with warmth. He hugged her tightly, and the unhappiness on his face just now disappeared.
He breathed hot breath on her neck in a hoarse voice, "So you are here to help me, I thought..."
Lu Qingtang pursed his lips and smiled, and asked, "Why?"
Mo Zeshen rested his head on her shoulder, "I thought you were attracted to Ji Wenzhan. You said you wanted to treat him as your brother."
"Why can't my brother and I go shopping? Are only couples shopping? There's something wrong with your thinking." Lu Qingtang said, reaching out and tapping his forehead.
Mo Zeshen couldn't help but laugh and continued to lean on her shoulder, smelling her delicious smell.
Lu Qingtang was too lazy to respond, stretched out his hand to push him away, and said teasingly: "You are so shameless when you come to take advantage of me. Let's go have lunch quickly."
With that said, she stood up and said to him: "By the way, let's go swimming in the lake together tomorrow. Didn't you say you would test the King of Zhennan? This is not an opportunity given to you, but you must seize it."
Mo Zeshen nodded and walked out of the room with Lu Qingtang to have lunch.
…
The cool wind blew across the lake, making Lu Qingtang feel very comfortable. She handed the peeled chestnuts in her hand to Mo Yue, who opened them with her chubby little hands and gave half to Lu Qingtang.
Lu Qingtang shook his head. She didn't like chestnuts and they were dry in her mouth when chewed, but the children all liked them as snacks.
Mo Zeshen stretched out his hand to ask for it, looking at the chestnuts in her hand eagerly.
However, Mo Yue pretended not to understand at all and stuffed the chestnuts into her mouth with an innocent look.
