232 The beginning of the contest

He Xuan led the horses and quickly came to the courtyard she had just rented.

In the dark alley, there seems to be something curled up outside the door of my small courtyard.

He Xuan looked carefully. It was not a stray dog cat, but a child.

"Who?" He Xuan asked.

"It's me..."

He Xuan took a few more steps and took a closer look. It was the child who showed her the way today.

"You're really here." He Xuan said with a smile.

"If you have something to eat, why don't you come?" The child answered righteously.

He Xuan looked back, smiled secretly, and then said to the child, "Let's go first."

The child nodded. He Xuan touched it from her arms and threw the key to him. The child picked it up and opened the door. Then, He Xuan led the horse and walked in.

She knew that someone had been following her since she left the alley of Liao's house.

She also knows whose subordinate that man is.

......

Yunzhen sat in the study and was fascinated with the book. Suddenly, the servants said that the person sent out came back and replied. Yunzhen nodded and let the man in.

"What's going on in the Liao family?" Yunzhen asked, but his eyes did not leave the book in his hand.

"In the prince's words, Lord He moved out of the Liao family."

"Have you moved out?" Yunzhen raised his eyebrows and then smiled, "It's very fast. Did anyone send it?"

"Lord, Lord He came out alone. There was no light in the alley. I couldn't see if there were people standing there, but there was very little luggage. Only a horse was used. The horse was also Lord He's own."

Yunzhen nodded.

Will Liao Yong draw the boundary so clearly with He Xuan so soon? Of course not.

A smile floated on Yunzhen's face. He put down the book in his hand, "Thirty-Six Tabit", which is his favorite book since childhood. Today, he just saw the "bitter Meat Plan" here. It seems that there are still people who really cooperate with themselves and act whatever they see.

In this case, you might as well make a plan.

"Where to move?" Yunzhen asked again.

"It's a coincidence that the small yard is just outside the west corner gate of our yard."

"Is it a coincidence?" Yunzhen asked.

"What a coincidence. Isn't this sending yourself under your eyes?

Yun Zhenle said, "That's quite a coincidence. Go down. Keep an eye on Liao's house."

"Yes."

......

He Xuan slapped a lamp in the yard and looked at the child in front of her, who was about 14 or 15 years old, and was about the same size and her own.

Bok water. Take a shower."

"Oh..." The child answered, turned around and ran in the direction of the kitchen.

He Xuan took the corners of her mouth, turned back to the room, and went to put things first. When she was almost ready, the water over there was ready.

Everything in this room is complete, including a large bathtub for bathing. The child was so strong that he couldn't move the thing. He Xuan asked him to put the thing in place and pour water in it.

"All right. Sir."

"Take off your clothes..."

"Ah?" The child was stunned, "Why should I take it off?"

"You have been here for so long, won't you let me give you a few more steamed buns?"

The child nodded.

"I'll ask you again, are you going to follow me in the future?"

The child nodded again.

"Are you going to serve me so dirty?" He Xuan asked.

"Oh... then... then I... then you go out first."

The child was a little embarrassed to take off his clothes in front of He Xuan.

He Xuan nodded and then said, "It's done. I'm coming to the house." After saying that, he took his clothes and put his shoes next to him and left.

With no effort, the child took a shower, changed his clothes, and appeared in front of He Xuan again.

He Xuan looked at it through the light and saw a white child as she thought. It also looks very beautiful. Smart from his eyes, I'm afraid that this child's intelligence will never lose to Yumo or Yuqing. He Xuan sighed and waved to him to come over.

"Son...what can I do for you?"

Listening to his reflexive answer, He Xuan smiled and said, "You are quite good."

He Xuan's words didn't sound like an exaggeration in this child. He looked a little nervous, and then smiled and said, "There is much more time outside the Shengyi Building. That's what all the people who run inside talk."

He Xuan did not ask any more questions. In fact, this lie is not so coincidental. Beggars have the rules of beggars, and not everyone can go anywhere. How long has he been outside the Shengyi Building? Just ask a clerk.

"What's your name?"

"My name is..." The child said this, paused for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said, "My parents can't read, so this name..."

He Xuan nodded. It seemed that he didn't want to tell himself. He Xuan didn't want to force the child to do anything. His appearance was too coincidental and accidental. Especially at this time, how could He Xuan not guess where the child came from?

"Then I'll call you Xiaoyao for the time being."

"Alle. Whatever you like to call, it's up to you. Do you have any other instructions?"

He Xuan shook her head and said, "I said today that it's dangerous to follow me and may even lose my life. How dare you come?"

"There is food to eat..."

He Xuan smiled and shook her head impatiently. Looking at the child's appearance, she did not look like a beggar. Her skin was white and red, and she was healthier than herself.

"Okay. Since you are here, I won't drive you away. But you have to remember one thing. If there is really danger, you should protect yourself. Because I'm afraid that in the end, I won't be able to do it. Do you understand?"

The child nodded.

"Have you eaten yet?" He Xuan asked.

The child shook his head.

"Let's go out for dinner."

The two masters and servants were not too far from home, but found a clean shop. They each ordered a bowl of noodles, and then He Xuan ordered a few steamed buns for Xiaoyao.

Looking at the steamed bun, Xiaoyao did not reach out.

"Why don't you eat it?" He Xuan asked.

"You eat."

He Xuan shook her head and said, "This is for you."

Xiaoyao listened to He Xuan's words and did not refuse. She grabbed one and ate it. Looking at his delicious food, He Xuan smiled bitterly and thought to herself: Why did you drag such an unrelated child into it again?

......

The next day, He Xuan left home early in the morning.

"When will you be back, prince?" Xiaoyao stood at the door and asked.

He Xuan patted his head and said, "I put a note and a money bag on the small table by the bed. You go out in the morning to get everything on it for me. I guess I'll be almost back when you come back.

"Good."

He Xuan looked at him, then got on the horse and went straight to the ceremonial department.

Although she knows that her business today will definitely not be in the ceremonial department, but in the face.

Sure enough, before I got off the ceremony, I saw a little eunuch waiting there.

"Lord He, let me find it." The little eunuch said.

"What's the matter with your father-in-law?"

"Last night, I brought the words to Liao's house to deliver the sign to you, but the people of the Liao family said that you moved out, but no one knew where to move. Well, I've been waiting here early in the morning.

"There is a father-in-law."

He Xuan said, took out the sign from her arms and handed it to the little eunuch.

"Don't be here, just follow me to the palace." The little eunuch took the sign and said to He Xuan.

He Xuan nodded and went directly to the palace gate with the little eunuch.

At the gate of the palace, there was already a long line of carriages and horses. He Xuan handed over the horses to the bodyguard, quietly slipped into the room, and then found the least conspicuous place and stood there alone.

Of course, she can't avoid it, especially the person who wants to find her at all.

He Xuan felt that her shoes had not yet stood in the hot place, and this person had already stood in front of her.

"Is it coming?"

Hearing Yunzhen's voice, He Xuan did not raise her head and knelt down directly to say greeting him.

Yunzhen said "no" with a smile, and then helped He Xuan with his own hands. He Xuan stood up and always looked at her nose, mouth and mouth, and had no intention of speaking at all.

After waiting for a while, Yunzhen still opened his mouth first.

"I heard that you moved out of Liao's house?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"That's where I borrowed it. At present, there is also some money in hand. Naturally, you can't always stay there.

Yunzhen nodded with a smile.

"Then why don't you move to the yard I sent you?"

Hearing this sentence, He Xuan slowly raised her head, looked at Yun Zhen, smiled faintly, and then said, "I think you should understand this, my lord!"

"Are you still angry with me because of Jinse?"

"Your Majesty, you are joking. You are the prince, how dare I!"

Yunzhen wanted to continue to say something, but suddenly there was a sound of entering the hall. Yunzhen sighed, stretched out his hand, put it on He Xuan's shoulder, and gently pinched it.

"If you need me, just open your mouth. Let's talk about other words slowly.

"Thank you, Lord."

At this time, the courtiers also came out of the room in twos and threes. Yunzhen didn't say anything more. He withdrew his hand and turned around and walked up.

Left Liang and Zuo Junzhong were behind Yunzhen. For the first time, the father and son's eyes passed by He Xuan but did not stop.

He Xuan found that many ministers were looking at themselves with the same kind of eyes, and their eyes were full of rejection and disdain. Such a look illustrates the problem.

Today, it should start.

He Xuan told herself this.

She straightened her clothes, followed the crowd, and slowly walked out of the hall, but did not enter.

Listening to the sound inside, He Xuan encouraged herself. Maybe I'm really not far away from happiness.
