While she was thinking, there was a sudden noise outside Kongqing Garden, and the voices of the imperial guards and silver-armored guards could be faintly heard. Xiao Yuehuai walked over looking for the sound, and Lu Pingsheng came towards him with a group of people.
The two met in the center of the corridor.
The moonlight poured coldly along the edge of the glazed tiles, like a small spring.
Xiao Yuehuai stood on the two steps, looking at him with lowered eyebrows. The soft light reflected on her face, and the smile at the corner of her mouth, made her look like a fairy coming out of a painting.
"Sanlang? It's so late at night...why did you bring someone to my place?"
Lu Pingsheng was slightly startled, stopped in front of the corridor, bowed to her and said: "When I was ordered to search the mountain, the traitors escaped by chance. After several chases, I saw them turning into the Kongqing Garden. I am worried about your safety. I was in a hurry to get here, so I forgot the rules and disturbed the tranquility of the garden... I hope the princess will forgive me."
"How can you forgive me? Since you are thinking about me, how can I be an ignorant person?" Xiao Yuehuai's attitude was unusually good, which aroused Lu Pingsheng's surprise.
He asked tentatively: "If the princess doesn't blame you, I will lead the sergeants into the garden to search?"
Xiao Yuehuai smiled, stepped aside and said, "Sanlang, please do it."
Lu Pingsheng frowned, feeling strange. He looked at her seriously and bowed politely to her: "Thank you, princess."
A group of people gathered in the garden and searched everywhere.
Xiao Yuehuai stood in the pavilion, looking at the people under the lights, her eyes getting darker and darker: Since Su Ying was covering up everything, why not let Lu Pingsheng test it out, maybe there would be any unexpected gains.
She knew very well in her heart that those who escaped into Kongqing Garden should be Xun Chong and the man and woman he was protecting.
Lu Pingsheng searched in a very organized manner, moving bit by bit towards the house where Su Ying was living at the moment, with a very clear purpose.
Xiao Yuehuai saw it at a glance and stopped him before he was about to knock on the door and break into the house: "Sanlang? What are you doing? The general has already gone to bed, so there is no need to disturb him, right?"
Lu Pingsheng's eyes darkened and he explained softly: "The princess doesn't know something. Those assassins are armed with sharp weapons and are very cruel. Suppose they broke into the general's house... But what should we do? If we don't confirm clearly, I'm afraid that It will leave a trail of disaster.”
Xiao Yuehuai: "The general's martial arts skills are world-class. If there was anything unusual, it would have happened long ago. Sanlang, look...his room is quiet. It doesn't look like there is a thief hiding there."
Lu Pingsheng insisted: "That being said, if by any chance, the general is injured somewhere, wouldn't it be my fault? Please allow me to search, princess."
Xiao Yuehuai sighed, covered her face and sobbed: "Sanlang, are you still angry about what happened during the day? Today I am angry at you because Jiujie is angry. I...I didn't mean it."
Lu Pingsheng: "I...How dare you get angry with the princess?"
Xiao Yuehuai raised her head, her eyes were red and filled with tears, and she said, "Really not? Then why are you so polite to me?"
Lu Pingsheng was stunned for a moment, looking at her tearful eyes, her eyes dim and unclear: "Princess, I didn't. I just..."
Before he finished speaking, the girl standing not far away stepped forward, raised her jade finger and gently touched his hand that was raised in mid-air and crossed, then slowly slid down and hooked his hand. He pulled his little finger and whispered timidly: "Sanlang..."
"I was really indifferent to you in the past. When I got married, I realized that the right person is not easy to find. I regret it very much. Now, you are the only one who can help me get together with Su Ying. No one else has the authority or ability to help me. I... ..Please don’t be estranged from me.”
Lu Pingsheng's eyes showed shock: these words would have been impossible to say from the princess's mouth in the past. He couldn't even think about these moves to tease him.
Since the first time Xiao Yuehuai took the initiative to go to the Lu Mansion to see him, Lu Pingsheng had noticed that she was different from the past, but at that time he was thinking about dealing with the Qin family and Su Ying's affairs, so he didn't take it to heart.
Now that she said such words again and acted unusually, he couldn't help but pay attention to it: "The princess said this, which really makes me feel ashamed. I regard the princess as a treasure, and I am overjoyed to be even close to you. How can I be alienated from you? It’s just that Luo Fu has a husband, how can I get close to you again? Wouldn’t it harm the princess’s reputation?”
"Sanlang..." She shouted softly again: "If you are sincere, promise me, right? Don't disturb Su Ying, otherwise as soon as the Qushan Banquet is over and I return to the Su family, he will say something weird about me and You are complicit in bullying him. I am afraid this life will be even more difficult."
Lu Pingsheng looked down at her and saw that she was in a very complicated mood. After a moment of confusion, her mind gradually became clear: Regardless of whether what she said was true or false, the most important thing at the moment was the search. He must not miss this opportunity tonight.
"Princess...the task of catching the assassin is no small matter. I forgive you for not being able to comply with the princess's request. The general's house...I must search."
Xiao Yuehuai acted so pretentiously and pretentiously that her mouth was dry and her eyes were numb, but she still couldn't shake Lu Pingsheng's determination, so she simply stopped struggling.
She had been putting it off for a while anyway.
So his face became slightly irritated, and he walked aside quietly, tilting his head and turning his back, and ignored Lu Pingsheng.
At this moment, the closed door creaked open, and Su Ying walked out wearing a big cloak.
The dim lights in front of the corridor illuminated his mask, reflecting a silver light. He leaned against the door frame and said with a sneer: "Brother Lu, is he really diligent? Did you search Shanshan to search for me? Such a big movement, so many people? I think... you are determined to search my room." Want something?"
Lu Pingsheng did not expect that he would open the door by himself: "After all, I still woke up the general. Since this has already happened, why not let the subordinates go in and search for a while? Or let me report to your majesty?"
Su Ying raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms across his chest, leaned in and said as if it didn't matter, "Brother Lu, if you want to check, just go in. Su can sit upright, so there is no need to stop him." "
"Of course... If Brother Lu wants to find out something so that he can show His Majesty that I am no better than a pig or a dog, and that I am a wolf-hearted person, so that I can take the opportunity to get him to agree to the separation of the princess and me... I advise you not to Don’t bother with that.”
As if he said this on purpose, while poking Lu Pingsheng's spine, he also gave Xiao Yuehui a hard blow.
The girl with her back to them looked very ugly at the moment.
Lu Pingsheng stared at him and looked at him repeatedly, trying to see something from him, but to his surprise, he always looked confident and could not see any flaws.
"The general is joking. I only care about the princess, so I want to judge the quality of those close to me for her."
