Chapter 182 Old Things

It's late at night, but the sky is not very dark because of the silver snow. In the main hall of the Lv family, several young people of Lv Hong surrounded the hot pot, drank soju, and chatted happily. The little women who didn't drink sat in the small living room around the charcoal basin to persuade Chaoxia.

Lv Xianger thought she had reminded Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao that Chaoxia would be late to know that Concubine Song was going to be elected as the fourth prince Zhao Chengmin. Unexpectedly, Li Wenhao, who came at the same time with Huo Qingsong and Wensong, spilled the beans after drinking a few glasses of wine.

Chaoxia's expression did not change much, but she had no appetite. After sitting for a while, she put down her chopsticks and left the table. When Lv Xianger, Wen Yao and Huo Qingqing saw Chaoxia leaving, they also put down their chopsticks to accompany her. When Li Wenhao saw this scene, his face turned white, but he didn't say anything.

Wen Song looked at Li Wenhao, took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for him, and whispered, "You know the result, but you have to do it. Why are you suffering?"

"I don't know..." Li Wenhao shook his head slightly, looked stunned, picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth. Lv Hong and Huo Qingsong saw his appearance. Only then did they understand that Li Wenhao deliberately said it and let Chaoxia know. Thinking of Li Wenhao's purpose, Lv Hong sighed secretly and said that the palace examination a few days later changed the topic.

I don't know whether Li Wenhao is upset or his drinking capacity is too shallow. In half an hour, Li Wenhao, who was not in high interest, got drunk. Seeing that Li Wenhao took advantage of the energy of wine, he wanted to talk to Chaoxia. Wen Song quickly got up and wanted to send Li Wenhao back.

Huo Qingsong frowned and said, "I'll take him back with you. If the prince sees him like this, he will have to kneel in the ancestral hall tonight.

"What's so terrible about the ancestral hall? I don't know how many times I knelt down. Sometimes, I want to kneel there." Although Li Wenhao was drunk and dizzy, he was special to the word 'the ancestral hall'. As soon as he heard Huo Qingsong mention it, he broke free from Wen Song's hand and said excitedly, "If my sister can come back, I will have no regrets if I kneel there. If my sister can come back, he can't fight with me..."

"Li Wenhao--" A cold light suddenly appeared in Huo Qingsong's eyes. He strode forward and grabbed Li Wenhao and looked at him coldly. I have to say that the chill on General Huo's body was so cold that even the drunken Li Wenhao couldn't help shivering and forgot what to say next.

Wen Song also broke out in a cold sweat because of Li Wenhao's words. Seeing that Li Wenhao stopped, he also came forward to help Li Wenhao, grabbed the cloak and went out. Huo Qingsong turned around and nodded to Lv Hong and said in a low voice, "Let's send Wen Hao back first, and pick up Qingqing and Yaoer later."

After saying that, Huo Qingsong did not look at the puzzled Lv Xianger and Chaoxia, but quickly walked out. Lv Hong looked at the hot pot on the table and sighed softly before slowly sitting down. But he couldn't feel the voice of Lv Xianger and others. Lv Hong thought of something and immediately looked at Chaoxia.

At this time, Chaoxia lowered her head slightly, making people unable to see the expression on her face clearly. Lv Xianger and the three of them gathered around her but didn't know what to say, but just looked at her nervously. Although Li Wenhao's words were not finished, several people in the room still heard that he had not given up on Chaoxia.

Wen Yao looked at Lv Xianger and Chaoxia and suddenly said, "Sister Chaoxia, I'm afraid Mr. Li doesn't like you as much as you think. He just hated the Fourth Highness and wanted to compete with the Fourth Highness. So, you don't have to feel too guilty."

"Sister Yaoer, what do you mean?" Hearing Wen Yao's words, Lu Xianger immediately became anxious. Lv Hong and Chaoxia also looked at Wen Yao and looked at her with doubtful eyes.

Wen Yao was still a little shy when she looked at the only opposite sex in the room, and her face turned slightly red. Fortunately, the temperature in the room was not low, and the faces of several little women were a little red, and Wen Yao quickly got used to it. Xiang Huo Qingqing smiled, and Wen Yao said, "Speaking of which, Qingqing should also know something. However, she may be too young to forget it.

"If Mr. Li hadn't mentioned it just now, I would have forgotten it." Wen Yao paused, and her face was a little melancholy: "Everyone in the Zhou Dynasty knew that there was a hero in the loyal and brave royal palace, who had been stationed in the border for many years and guarding the border gates of the Zhou Dynasty. People outside also know that Zhongyongwang has two sons and two grandchildren, but not many people know that he also has a runaway daughter and a granddaughter who has been abducted since childhood.

"Ah, I seem to have really heard of it from my grandfather. It seems that the loyal and brave king also sent someone to the capital and asked his grandfather to find someone. Huo Qingqing patted his head and felt that he had such an impression, but he couldn't remember whether it was a specific matter.

Lv Xianger, Lv Hong and Chaoxia were listening attentively. Seeing that Huo Qingqing couldn't say anything, they looked at Wen Yao again. Wen Yao smiled at Huo Qingqing and said, "At that time, my cousin and grandpa were quarreling most fiercely. It's not surprising that you don't remember."

"Ah, I remember. It seems that your majesty is going to make the fourth prince's concubine for the fourth highness of the loyal and brave king. Before long, the future princess was abducted. The daughter of the loyal king has not returned yet in order to find her niece. As soon as Huo Qingqing Jingwen Yao reminded him, he remembered what he overheard and shouted, "At that time, if it hadn't been for the sudden war in the frontier, the loyal and brave king would not have delayed the time and could not find the future fourth prince and daughter."

"I didn't expect that such a tragic thing would happen in such a glorious loyal and brave royal palace." Lv Xianger and Chaoxia both shook their heads and sighed, but Lv Hong knocked on the table and whispered, "I'm afraid things here are not simple. As soon as the granddaughter of King Zhongyong made a marriage with the Fourth Highness, she was abducted. The daughter of the loyal and brave king went to look for her nephew, but she didn't go back. At that time, there was still a war in the border, and there was no peace in the capital, which was a coincidence. I'm afraid that someone is deliberately playing a big game of chess.

As soon as Lv Hong's words fell, he found that Lv Xianger and other little ladies were looking straight at him. After being looked at by so many eyes, Lv Hong was still a little uncomfortable. He looked slightly embarrassed and said, "I guessed what you were doing when you looked at me like this. His father also said that if he hadn't inadvertently known that the old prince was talking to people, he would not have known the old prince's plan for him at all. This too much 'unintentional' is 'intentional'.

Wen Yao took a deep look at Lv Hong and praised, "Mr. Lv is really worthy of the word 'Zibin' given by His Majesty. His mind is really delicate, and the cause and effect are clear so quickly."

"Well, I really guessed it casually." In the face of Wen Yao's praise, Lv Hong's heart jumped, and he had to look elsewhere with a cough.

Huo Qingqing was not convinced. He hummed gently, turned his head and said to Wen Yao, "Sister Yaoer, what happened back then?"

"I'm not sure exactly what happened. I just heard my father talk about it." When Wen Yao saw Lv Hong's appearance, she smiled in her eyes. But he withdrew his eyes and shook his head and said, "At that time, my father felt that this series of events was too coincidental. Your Majesty also found something wrong, so he asked his father to investigate. But my father checked for a long time and didn't find out anything. Because whenever a clue is found, it will be unintentionally broken.

"So, nothing can be found in the end?" Lv Hong saw Wen Yao nodding and frowned slightly. There is a strange but indescribable feeling in my heart, and the gambling mouth is a little uncomfortable.

When Lv Xianger saw Lv Hong's appearance, she also understood Lv Hong's feelings. Just as she was about to say something, the inspiration flashed and blurted out, "The loyal and brave king suddenly wants to go back to Beijing for retirement. Does it have something to do with this matter?"

"So it is." Hearing Lv Xianger's words, Lv Hong finally exhaled a long breath and shook his head and said, "King Zhongyong returned to Beijing at this time. I'm afraid it's because the Fourth Highness has reached the age of marriage. In order not to let the person behind the scenes pick anything out again, the loyal and brave king will come back to calm everyone's 'heart'. Your Majesty suddenly chose the imperial concubine for the Fourth Highness, and I'm afraid it's also for this. Presumably, your majesty and the loyal king in those years also knew that people were calculating, but there was nothing they could do. Now they can only do this and take care of the overall situation.

"Good to say." As soon as Lv Hong's words fell, high-fives and exclamations came from outside the door. Lv Hong was shocked and almost broke out in a cold sweat. I think what he and Wen Yao said is extremely secretive. If it spreads, it will be a big wave.

Lv Hong secretly reminded himself that this is a valuable experience, and he must pay attention to it in the future. At the same time, Lv Xianger also quickly raised the curtain, and the cold Huo Qingsong and Wen Song came in. Seeing the two people, Huo Qingqing quickly patted his chest and said in fear, "It turned out to be you, but it scared us."

Huo Qingqing did not care about his image, which made Huo Qingsong immediately blacken his face and glanced at her coldly. Huo Qingqing was swept away by his eyes, and then he remembered that he was patting his chest in front of several men. He immediately lowered his head and sat in the chair honestly.

Wen Song, who was standing directly opposite Huo Qingqing, was also scared and blushed by her behavior. In order to hide his mood, Wen Song hurried to Lv Hong and said with a smile, "Zibin, the more I get along with you, the more I admire you. Thinking of what you just said, when I heard this, I didn't think of it. I'm not as good as you."

"Brother Wen is too much of praise." Lv Hong just made a big mistake, but he couldn't stand Wen Song's praise and quickly got up. It was not until he found Huo Qingsong's look that he would pay attention to next time that Lv Hong's heart slowly relaxed.

Wen Song thought that Lv Hong was too modest and pulled him for a while before leaving reluctantly at the urging of Wen Yao. However, it was also because Wen Song heard Lv Hong's previous words that his previous friendship with Lv Hong officially changed from a gentleman to brotherhood.
