Chapter 23 Water Pearl

Sima Tu took Cheng Zifei's sleeve and leaned his face almost on her shoulder: "I haven't told me yet. What's your name? They are going to marry you. Don't you even know your wife's name?

Cheng Zifei stiffened and shook off his hand: "Cheng Zifei. Tell me what the baby is here? Don't chop!"

"Oh, can I call you Cheng Cheng in the future? The one surnamed Murong must be called your concubine? I don't want to be like him! Shall I call you Cheng Cheng?" Sima Tu was not angry when his arm was thrown, and he still had a cute expression.

Cheng Zifei couldn't stand his coquettishness and quickly nodded and urged, "Okay, whatever you call it. Get to business! Don't talk nonsense anymore!"

"All right." Sima Tu pouted, but instantly moved his stool to Cheng Zifei with a smile. Let me tell you, the old emperor's woman's name is Wen Ruxue. Do you know the surname of Wen? The Wen family in Lubei is very powerful..."

Cheng Zifei almost wanted to stroke her forehead and sigh after hearing this. No wonder Murong Xiuyuan saw her use a trick similar to the Wen family and would rather imprison her than offend the Cheng family. It turned out that there was such a thing!

However, she really didn't expect that this backyard was built by a woman, so she is not only skillful, but also more powerful. I'm afraid it's not easy for them to find a baby in the lotus garden.

Sima Tu was unhappy when he saw Cheng Zifei's reaction after listening to it: "Cheng Cheng, what are you thinking about? You don't want me, do you? Even if you can't help me find the baby, you have promised to marry me. You can't go back on it!"

"No." Cheng Zifei frowned. Since this baby is helpful for studying Wen's water system, of course she helps him find it! You have to not only find it, but also learn to use it!

Do you know that there are many opportunities in this garden? How did you get in? Do you know it's dangerous here? Cheng Zifei looked at Sima Tu's pouted face, and it was about to come out of water. She quickly spoke to divert his attention. This seems to be built according to a formation. Do you know the art of Xuanmen?

Sima Tu blushed when asked by her and shook his head: "I don't understand. This is my teacher's examination. I have to find Shuilingzhu to be qualified, and then I can officially become a teacher. My brother only threw me in the backyard, and then I met Xiaolian and forced her to ask her a simple situation. I haven't figured out anything else yet.

What a bold thief! Cheng Zifei smiled secretly in her heart. This Sima Tu always makes her feel cordial. Unlike before, she is always full of vigilance. In front of Sima Tu, it seems interesting to see him act coquettish and pretend to be stupid. Sima Tu gave her the feeling, just like an old friend she had known a long time ago, with both an unspeakable sense of intimacy and a sense of comfort that can be relaxed at any time.

Cheng Zifei shook her head and patted Sima Tu's head: "You dare to steal something without thinking about anything? Fortunately, you met me. If you had met Murong Xiuyuan, you would have been arrested long ago!"

"How can I be so stupid? Didn't I pretend to be Xiaolian?" Sima Tu touched the bun unconvincedly, as if Cheng Zifei had messed up his hairstyle. How can Murong Xiuyuan be so smart? Can you expose me all of a sudden? In fact, I'm strange. How did Cheng Cheng know that I was fake at a glance?

"This, I don't understand even if I tell you." Cheng Zifei deliberately rubbed his hair again. This action was very natural. She never liked to be close to others before. For some reason, she had no precautions against Sima Tu.

Sima Tu turned his head unhappily and stared: "Don't say, anyway, others can't see my change! You are your own family, it doesn't matter!"

"In fact, it's nothing. Xiaolian can't do martial arts at all. Your breathing is obviously deep, and people with strong martial arts can hear it." Cheng Zifei couldn't bear to see him disappointed, but explained in detail.

Sima Tu was stunned and blinked his eyes and said, "I really forgot this. Thinking that there was no one in the yard, I forgot to restrain my inner breath. So you can see from this point. Cheng Cheng* is really careful.

Isn't it still inexperienced? Cheng Zifei didn't know what kind of person his master was. How could she throw such an innocent child directly into the dangerous palace of Qi? Is it stealing in the exam? Isn't this too strange? However, at present, she also prefers to find Shuilingzhu.

"Let's think about where it is possible to hide treasures in this yard."

Cheng Zifei thought for a while, but there was no result. She was almost unfamiliar with the yard, but she came in the middle of the night earlier than Sima Tu and was still asleep.

Sima Tu was far from being so anxious. After listening to Cheng Zifei's words, he stood up and clapped his hands with a smile, looked at himself from head to toe, and then said, "What's the hurry? Anyway, we have you now. The two of us will find it slowly. Now, it's important to fill your stomach first. I haven't eaten since I was thrown in by my brother in the morning. Let's eat first, the lotus just now, but brought a lot of delicious food!"

"Then why didn't you eat it just now?" Cheng Zifei stared at him angrily. She really looked like a child and didn't seem to come to do something at all! However, he didn't mention it, and she forgot that she had only had a few mouthfuls since morning. She was really a little hungry.

Sima Tu ran outside and brought several plates one after another, all of which were exquisite dishes in exquisite small plates.

Although Murong Xiuyuan didn't treat her as a princess well, she has never been restrained materially. Whether in the original listening courtyard or here, Cheng Zifei's food and clothing are exquisite and luxurious. For more than half a month, Cheng Zifei has been used to this kind of small plate, but Sima Tu is different.

"When the lotus brought it just now, I was not hungry and didn't look at it carefully. Now I find that these dishes are so small. How can they be enough to eat?" Sima Tu looked at the exquisite dishes in front of him with an embarrassed face and turned his head to complain to Cheng Zifei.

It's good. Every dish is fragrant and looks beautiful. Unfortunately, there is only a small bowl of rice and only a pair of chopsticks. Obviously, this is only prepared for Cheng Zifei alone. The two of them are indeed not enough to eat.

Cheng Zifei is also embarrassed. If it had been in the past, she would definitely ignore others and eat first. However, she always feels that she needs to take care of Sima Tu and can be close to her. Let's half each, that's all. I'm also a prisoner. Cheng Zifei smiled and suddenly thought of a question: "Where did you hide Xiaolian? Won't you kill her? I can't get out of this place. Only she can bring us food. If she dies, we may all starve to death.

"Ah?" Sima Tu jumped up with a scream, "We are going to starve to death if she dies?" I don't want to starve to death, so I'll see if she's dead first.

Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed out.

Cheng Zifei was stunned for a moment. Wasn't she hiding in the house? She thought that Xiaolian was stuffed under the bed or somewhere.

Following all the way, Cheng Zifei was embarrassing.

How can there be immortality like this? Xiaolian was tied all over by him, stuffed her mouth and fell into the lotus pond. She was already out of breath.

Sima Tu came back with a sad face, as if the dead man had much to do with him, but Cheng Zifei knew that he just wanted to have no food to eat.

patted him on the head again, and Cheng Zifei comforted him, "Okay, it doesn't matter. Can't you dress up as Xiaolian? Why don't you go out and get it? We can just explore the terrain more. After we find the water beads, we have to go out together. Now, let's go back to dinner first.

"Well, I'm very similar. This time it must be impossible for everyone to see it!" Sima Tu nodded firmly, and the expression on his face was happy again. He followed Cheng Zifei back with a smile.

In the study of King Qi's Mansion, Murong Xiu came back from far away and called Black Hawk to ask questions. How's it going? Did she say that?

Black Hawk stood quietly three steps away from Murong Xiuyuan and replied softly, "No, the princess still said she didn't know who it was. Prince, do you think what the princess said is likely to be true?

Murong Xiuyuan snorted: "It's impossible. The Wen family is no longer the same as before, and there are no older people with superior cultivation at all! If it weren't for the old witch, who else could it be? Even Wen Zhishu is not her opponent, is she?

"Yes." Black Hawk answered quietly. The prince is right about this. He knows a lot about the Wen family in northern Shandong. Today's Wen family has already fallen. Even if the head of the family is Wen Zhishu, I'm afraid it's not as good as the princess's cultivation, right?

After thinking for a while, Black Hawk said tentatively, "Although the princess's cultivation looks suspicious, according to her years of experience in interrogation, the princess does not seem to have lie. Her expression and language don't seem to be fake. So is it possible that the princess's master is the old imperial concubine?

"The old witch is easy-to-be?" Murong Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment. The old witch, relying on the favor of the previous emperor and her own martial arts skills, was capricious and happy. It was also possible to do such an incomprehensible thing.

Jiang Jia, who stood aside, smiled and looked at the black eagle and said, "Black Eagle, haven't you always been unconfirmed? Why did you say 'possible' today? Are you begging for the princess?

Black Hawk's heart was shocked, but the expression on his face did not move and did not respond to Jiang Jia's words.

Murong Xiuyuan's face turned cold and stared at Jiang Jia and said, "I forgot to plead for mercy. Did you choose the whip last night? Why do you all think I am too tyrannical?

Jiang Jia just teased the black eagle, but didn't expect it to set himself on fire. He even stood up straight and promised with a straight face: "No, the prince thinks it should be punished, and his subordinates will never dare to have any idea!"
