Xu Buling walked out of the Ning family courtyard, walked through the neighborhood under the night rain, and returned to Chongrenfang again, still feeling a little guilty.

The master and apprenticeship in the martial arts world are like father and son. As soon as she sipped with Ning Qingye, she turned around and saw the master clean. It was obvious that what she was doing was not human affairs. Although she was saving people and treating injuries, it was said that "don't avoid medical treatment" and these things should not be considered, but this excuse is obviously not good at taking action.

At this moment, Xu Buling could only expect Ning Yuhe to not find out, and they would assume that nothing had happened. Otherwise, with Ning Qingye's temperament, he would have to chase him for thousands of miles.

There are many private houses in Chongrenfang. Because Lao Qi secretly followed him, Zhu Manzhi Renzu's location is naturally known.

The word Xu Buling fell down in the small yard, and there were only three rooms, the kitchen on the left and the bedroom on the right, and a locked house.

There was nothing in the courtyard, there was a clothesline tied under the window, a few pairs of boots leaned against the wall, and a few weapons were placed. It seemed that I could practice martial arts normally.

Xu Buling listened with his ears. There was a steady breathing sound in the room, so he must have fallen asleep. He walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked it twice.

Dongdong

Huh ~

Not awake.

Xu Buling frowned slightly, raised his hand and pushed it slightly, but the door was not stuck, obviously knowing that he would come.

Scream

The door opens and closes.

Xu Buling entered the small room, and there was a faint fragrance in the room. Under the hazy light, there was no other item in the room except for the table, cabinet and bed. The rouge candied fruit purchased during the day was placed on the table, and a pair of embroidered shoes were thrown crookedly on the ground, and one was flipped over.

Looking sideways, Zhu Manzhi lies on the embroidered bed, posing in a "big" shape, covering her back with only the quilt, and still lying slanted. Well... she doesn't look very good when she sleeps.

Seeing that Zhu Manzhi was not awakened, Xu Buling didn't want to scare the little girl's house, so he walked up to the side and covered the bedding.

Zhu Manzhi said "Yeah~" with a sound of existence and non-existence, muttering in her sleep:

"Mom... it's not dawn... I'll sleep for a while..."

“…”

Xu Buling looked at him for a few times and shook his head and chuckled.

Although he was very careful, Zhu Manzhi lived alone for a long time, and slowly opened his eyes and glanced, closed it, and opened it again. His sleepy little face slowly turned into tension, and he closed his eyes suddenly.

Hu~ Hu~ Hu

"Stop pretending, I'm awake."

Xu Buling sat down next to her and raised her hand and pinched her face with a little amused look.

Zhu Manzhi turned around nervously and pulled the quilt. She was still embarrassed even though she was wearing clothes. She turned her head away from Xu Buling's hand and whispered:

"Mr. Xu, why did you come here so late... I was waiting for you but fell asleep accidentally."

"Something went wrong just now, I'm a little busy."

"oh……"

Zhu Manzhi smiled with a pursed lips, glanced at Xu Buling, and muttered:

"Why don't the young master knock on the door? I'm a girl's house..."

“…”

Xu Buling took a breath. To be honest, it was really hard to think about such a cute little girl. He shook his head and said:

"It's me who took the liberty to have a good rest and come to you in a few days."

Zhu Manzhi was actually a little confused. She stood up and hooked the hair hanging down in her ears:

"No, Mr. Xu, go slowly..."

Xu Buling said "yes", got up and walked to the table, picked out the rouge that he bought for Zhu Manzhi and placed it on the table.

Zhu Manzhi was stunned for a moment, looked at the rouge box on the table, feeling a little embarrassed:

"Is there one more part?"

Xu Buling raised his eyebrows: "I have been running with me for a long time, and I have to pay it a little bit."

"Thank you, young master." Zhu Manzhi smiled and stood up to give her a look.

Scream-

The room was quiet.

Zhu Manzhi stood upright with the door and stood up for a while. After confirming that Xu Buling walked away, he jumped up and ran to the table, picked up the rouge box and looked at it carefully.

"whee……"

Zhu Manzhi looked around for a while, then threw herself on the bedding, rolling back and forth, and didn't know what she was happy about... ——

In the middle of the night, Xu Buling returned to the palace, and his body was wet and looked a little embarrassed.

The guards patrolled around the palace in shifts. Lao Xiao had always slept less. At this time, he burned a brazier outside the study and carefully read the "Spring Palace Yushu Picture" in his hand.

When I read the Spring Palace at night, I occasionally feel something, and I will write two annotations on the book, such as "The warm goose intestine path, the gentle and curved corridor, the delicate flowers and willows are raining heavily, the spring night is short and the love is long"... I think when I was young, I was also a free guest with both civil and military strength.

Step on

Seeing Xu Buling falling from the roof with a torn hat, Old Xiao closed the book and stuffed it into his sleeve, and laughed:

"Little Prince, I heard that Chongrenfang has had an assassin again. You went there today and I'm afraid you'll gain something. Should you send someone to keep an eye on it?"

Xu Buling threw the hat aside and shook the rain on his robe:

"No, it has nothing to do with me this time."

Old Xiao nodded and smashed his mouth for a while: "I heard that Xu Danqing is back and starts painting beauty again. I wonder who will win the championship this time..."

"You will know in a few days."

Xu Buling was not interested in Xu Danqing, so he entered the bedroom, took out clean clothes from the cabinet and changed into it. Then he took a brush from the pen holder, and applied it on the wall covered with rice paper with ink to prepare for tomorrow's entrance to the palace.

Judging from his contacts these days, the Empress Dowager grew up in a family since she was a child, and then she joined the palace to guard the widow and had no social experience. She was like Song Yufu, and was very interested in poetry, songs, and things within talented men and beautiful women.

However, the Empress Dowager is obviously mature and has his own opinions than Song Yufu, and is much more difficult to deal with. It is obviously not possible to not leave any heavy information.

The spread rice paper on the wall was painted with messy ink marks. This was a surprise that Xu Buling prepared for Mrs. Lu. Last time he promised to draw a painting for Mrs. Lu in Kaichun, he had been preparing for this for a long time.

Unfortunately, the poison on my body is more urgent, so I can only take out this carefully prepared gift to get the Queen Mother first.

It was late at night and when people heard the drizzle outside, Xu Buling couldn't help but recall Ning Yuhe who had just now. Even if he was calm, he couldn't help but feel a little curious. Of course, he was not curious about which aspect.

After thinking for a while, Xu Buling found the clean rice paper and drew the pattern above the white tiger based on his memory.

The pattern should be a phoenix wing-spreading outline, only the size of a petal, and the light red looks a bit tempting.

Xu Buling observed it carefully for a long time. The patterns were definitely not tattoos, nor did they seem to be drawn casually. A Taoist nun or the most famous beauty could never draw there.

Xu Buling took the oil lamp over, looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and identified it for a long time, guessing that it was probably something like the gongsha.

It is hard to ask Lao Xiao when he is in a woman's place. He can only throw it aside, fold the paper and fly up, and take out a small wooden box from the beam of the house.

The wooden box was originally used to hold a jade pendant, but there was a purse inside. The purse was naturally the bellyband of the Queen Mother and Mrs. Lu.
