At midnight, Ling Zhouyang and Qian Zhao stood under the eaves of the corner. They just watched Yang Ying and Ning Yuanzhou finish talking, and then saw Yuan Lu pulling Yang Ying onto the roof.
Ling Zhouyang: "Xiao Yuanlu and Yang Ying are quite a match."
"It's indeed a good match." The corners of Qian Zhao's mouth turned up. He knew that Yuan Lu liked His Highness.
Ling Zhouyang smiled, and her tone became serious again: "Did you hear what Yang Ying said just now? Even if Emperor Wu can't be saved, I don't want you to take risks."
Qian Zhao loosened his fist, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I know."
On the roof, Yuan Lu and Yang Ying were laughing and joking about the consort. Looking at this carefree scene, Ling Zhouyang couldn't help but smile.
Ling Zhouyang stretched out her hand to hold Qian Zhao's hand, "I will treat Xiao Yuanlu twice more, and he will be completely cured. In the future, he will get his wish."
Qian Zhao turned to look at Lingzhouyang, his eyes filled with irresistible tenderness, "Ayang, thank you."
Ling Zhouyang shook her head lightly and said, "No need to thank me, I am willing to save Xiao Yuanlu."
The first time she met Yuan Lu, she felt that Yuan Lu was very similar to Gu Yun, and she was touched at that time.
She might not have wanted to save him that much at first, but then he thought about it for a long time in the cabin.
It wasn't until the next morning that she figured out that she wanted to save him, otherwise she wouldn't have been struggling with it.
Ling Zhouyang pinched Qian Zhao's nose and said with a smile: "Okay, don't think about it, let's go, don't disturb the two of them getting along."
In fact, one of the reasons that made her determined to save Yuan Lu at that time was the cold-faced but tender Qian Zhao.
Qian Zhao came to his senses and nodded gently, then returned to the room with Ling Zhouyang.
In the room, Ling Zhouyang poured a cup of tea for Qian Zhao.
"You've been distracted since the beginning, Qian Zhao, something is wrong with you."
When he heard Ling Zhouyang calling his name, Qian Zhao said softly, "Huh? I just thought of something."
Ling Zhouyang asked: "Are you thinking about rescuing Emperor Wu?"
Qian Zhao replied: "Well, it's more than that."
"I can't personally participate in your rescue of Emperor Wu, but I will prepare poison for you. You must ensure your own safety. In my opinion, Emperor Wu is not as important as you." From Yang Ying's words just now, Ling Zhouyang came to such a result.
Emperor Wu was selfish and it was not worth it to exchange the lives of everyone in Liudaotang for the life of a useless and arrogant person.
If they didn't have a reason to save him, she would have given Yang Ying the poison directly to kill Emperor Wu.
Qian Zhao straightened the broken hair on Ling Zhouyang's forehead and said softly: "Okay, when we start taking action, you can leave the Siyi Pavilion and find a safe place to hide."
Ling Zhouyang raised the corner of her mouth and replied: "Don't worry, I'm very good at hiding from people, and I'm also very good at pretending. You don't have to worry about me."
After saying this, Qian Zhao pulled Lingzhouyang into his arms. Saving Emperor Wu was what he had to accomplish. The grievances of Chai Ming and other brothers were all waiting for Emperor Wu to clarify.
The two hugged each other for a while before they were interrupted by the guards of Liu Daotang.
The young guard lowered his eyes and whispered: "Um, Miss Lingzhou, someone from the Changqing Marquis Mansion is looking for you."
Ling Zhouyang left Qian Zhao's arms, stood up, walked to the young guard, and asked, "Are you sure it's someone from the Changqing Hou Mansion who is looking for me?"
"I'm sure, he is Zhu Yin who is following Marquis Changqing. I recognize him."
Ling Zhouyang nodded, "Go and tell him, wait a moment."
"yes."
Qian Zhao walked up to Lingzhouyang and said with doubts in his tone: "Why did Marquis Changqing want Lingren to come to you? You and him..."
Ling Zhouyang took Qian Zhao's hand and comforted him: "Don't worry, I'm not familiar with him. Is Ren Ruyi not in the Siyi Pavilion tonight?"
Qian Zhao nodded and replied: "She went out wearing night clothes. As for where she went, I don't know."
He just happened to pass by and saw Ren Ruyi jumping on the roof and leaving the Sei Pavilion wearing night clothes.
Ling Zhouyang said thoughtfully: "That's right, she should have known each other Li Tongguang, so she is the one who is looking for me."
Qian Zhao was startled for a moment, "Are you saying that Miss Ren and Marquis Changqing have known each other? Then Mr. Ning..."
Ling Zhouyang smiled and said: "Master and apprentice know each other, Ning Yuanzhou only knows how to be the elder, what are you worried about?"
"Okay, I'll go to the Changqing Hou Mansion first. After I figure everything out, I'll tell you the whole story."
"I'll go with you." Qian Zhao was still a little worried. Li Tongguang was not a good person.
Ling Zhouyang: "No, if Ren Ruyi is here, Li Tongguang will be very honest."
Seeing Ling Zhouyang's insistence, Qian Zhao had no choice but to compromise.
Ling Zhouyang walked to the door of Siyi Pavilion, and Zhu Yin honestly asked her to get on the carriage.
He did not dare to show any slightness to the people Zuo Shi wanted to invite, otherwise the Marquis would definitely be unhappy.
After arriving at the Changqing Hou Mansion, Zhu Yin also respectfully led Ling Zhouyang to the study.
In the study, Ren Ruyi and Li Tongguang sat opposite each other. Ren Ruyi looked calm, while Li Tongguang was full of excitement.
"Why do you have such an expression? Aren't you happy to meet your apprentice?" Ling Zhouyang walked over to Ren Ruyi and sat down. Looking at her indifferent expression, she couldn't help but ask.
Ren Ruyi glanced at Ling Zhouyang lightly and said, "If you want to ask anything, just ask it quickly."
Li Tongguang also looked at Ling Zhouyang, with joy in his tone: "This... appointed envoy, for the sake of my master, I will answer your questions."
When she heard the words "appointed imperial envoy", Ling Zhouyang was speechless for a moment.
She looked at the two people, one cold and one hot, and tried her best to raise a smile and said, "In this case, I won't make any preparations."
"Then ask quickly, and leave immediately after asking." Although Li Tongguang's tone was good, his words revealed that he wanted to drive people away.
Ling Zhouyang stopped beating around the bush, "You know Gu Yun? Gu Yun is not dead, right? He is with you now, right?"
Li Tongguang nodded, "I know, yes, yes. Do you have any other questions?"
After receiving such a positive answer from Li Tongguang, Ling Zhouyang felt a little out of breath.
Gu Yun was really not dead, and the person she saw that day was really Gu Yun.
Should she be happy now? But why can't she be happy?
Taking a deep breath, Ling Zhouyang asked again: "You helped Gu Yun cheat his death, right?"
Li Tongguang smiled and said, "Yes, I did everything."
Ling Zhouyang calmed down and continued to ask: "Then what was the reason why you helped him fake his death?"
Li Tongguang smiled, "The reason? The reason is that he saved me, and I repay the favor."
Ren Ruyi was stunned for a moment. The Jiu'er from two years ago must have been kind-hearted.
"Can you tell me everything?" Ling Zhouyang closed her eyes and then opened them again, her tone revealing exhaustion.
She wanted to ask if she could be allowed to see Gu Yun, but she didn't dare. She regarded Gu Yun as her biological brother, but Gu Yun actually cheated his death without telling her. She didn't know how to feel when facing Gu Yun. .
