Hearing this, Lan Ying felt as if someone had stepped on her tail. She angrily said, "What does it have to do with you? Do you think I'm you? All day long, you're either flirting with this guy or having an affair with that guy!"
Xue Zhiyi thought about it, suppressing the urge to laugh. She said seriously in a voice that only they could hear, "I just don't want you to take mine."
Lan Ying's eyes widened: "No way? You want both!? You are too greedy!"
But Xue Zhiyi just smiled without saying anything, turned around and left the tea room.
As soon as she went out, she saw the west wing. Outside her door, Huo Wuyou was leaning against the pillar with his arms folded.
Sure enough, Huo Wuyou left the main hall on the pretext of something and came to look for her.
After making sure that Lan Ying did not follow him, Xue Zhiyi quickly walked in that direction.
On this side, Huo Wuyou was leaning sideways casually, and saw Xue Zhiyi holding up the hem of her skirt and running towards him at a trot.
From far to near, with the ups and downs, the loose hair on his forehead and the tassels on his hair trembled, making him tilt his head involuntarily, and then he slowly stood up.
When Xue Zhiyi stopped in front of him, he breathed slightly, and his round eyes, as bright as the moon, met his gaze. For a moment, he felt as if his heart was hit hard by a snow-white rabbit.
Just as he was about to speak, Xue Zhiyi grabbed him without saying a word and dragged him into his room. Then he closed the door and bolted it solemnly.
Huo Wuyou laughed: "It's not good for us to do this, right?"
After bolting the door, Xue Zhiyi turned around and saw Huo Wuyou smiling at her. She was wearing a red dress with an ochre longevity purse prominently displayed on her waist, as if she was afraid that others would not notice.
Xue Zhiyi hesitated to speak, but Huo Wuyou still had the nerve to ask her, "How is it? Do they look good together?"
“…”
Xue Zhiyi didn't want to respond, so he just asked, "Marquis of Lin'an, how's things going with Prince Gong?"
"You asked others right away, why didn't you ask me?"
If it weren't for his status, Xue Zhiyi would actually want to get angry at him.
Seeing Xue Zhiyi remain silent, Huo Wuyou was somewhat disappointed and only answered her question sullenly, "Although he has his doubts about Tu Yuxian, he is unwilling to give up the opportunity to defeat Gu Shimin and is still proceeding according to the original plan. At the morning court today, many members of Prince Gong's faction have already taken action."
Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi smiled and said, "In this way, everything will go smoothly."
Huo Wuyou said, "I have answered what I should answer. Now it's time for you to ask me, right?"
As he wished, Xue Zhiyi said, "Have you brought the things I asked you to prepare today?"
Huo Wuyou sighed languidly and took out two bottles from his arms: "This is the poison, and this is the antidote. There is only one dose of the poison, and one dose will kill you."
Xue Zhiyi was delighted and was about to take it, but Huo Wuyou suddenly took his hand away: "You have to tell me first, what exactly are you going to do?"
But Xue Zhiyi just smiled and said, "My Lord, just wait and watch the show. Don't worry, no one will die."
Upon hearing this, Huo Wuyou gave her a pair of porcelain bottles with some doubt.
After everything was done, Xue Zhiyi reminded him, "You've been out for so long, it's time for you to go back."
Huo Wuyou said, "It's okay, wait a little longer."
Xue Zhiyi was confused: "If someone finds out..."
"If someone finds out, I'll be out soon after I enter. Who knows what will be spread about me then. It'll be very embarrassing."
“…” Xue Zhiyi clenched his fists.
Seeing her expression change, Huo Wuyou quickly put away his teasing attitude and said honestly: "I'm not going back to my grandmother. I told my grandmother that His Majesty summoned me to the palace today, and I have to go see His Majesty."
After saying that, he turned around and opened the door: "Isn't it okay for me to leave?"
…
Hall of Eternal Life.
When Huo Wuyou arrived, the emperor was looking worriedly at a table full of government affairs.
Huo Wuyou simply bowed politely: "Your Majesty, I, Huo Wuyou, pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well and safe."
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Is it coming?"
Having said that, he gave Peng Hui another look, and Peng Hui dispersed all the palace servants, leaving only a few to serve the emperor closely.
Without waiting for the emperor to ask for permission, Huo Wuyou stood up and asked, "Uncle is looking for me?"
Seeing that he was still acting so carefree, the emperor just chuckled and said, "Sit down by yourself."
Huo Wuyou took three or two steps to the imperial steps and sat down near the emperor's desk.
The emperor seemed accustomed to his unruly behavior. He simply glanced at him and asked casually, "You haven't gotten into any trouble outside recently, have you?"
Huo Wuyou laughed: "How could that be? Uncle, you really don't trust me enough, do you?"
The emperor pointed at him and said, "Don't I know you? You've been like this since you were little. You're so clever, but you never use your energy for serious matters. I don't know how many times the Grand Tutor has complained to me about you."
Huo Wuyou didn't care: "That was all when I was a kid."
The emperor, while dealing with the memorials, said, "I remind you that it's okay if you don't make progress, but you must not cause trouble. Otherwise, if you commit crimes like Lu Minchun's son, I will not forgive you."
He said this with a cold sneer, "If nothing else, just think of it as being the second brother in front of Wu Hui. Do you understand?"
Huo Wuyou smiled shamelessly: "As you wish."
The emperor looked through the memorial and sighed in distress.
Huo Wuyou propped up his head and said, "Uncle, you are the emperor now. If anyone dares to write a letter to anger you, you can just deal with them. Why bother getting angry with them?"
Hearing this, the emperor tutted his tongue and said, "Listen to this nonsense! If you were my son, I would skin you alive for this!"
