After a while, Lian'er finally overcame the fear in her heart and opened her mouth to pull Nangong Ripple's thoughts back to reality.

This voice came out, Lian'er took a deep breath again, and continued, "County Lord, it's spring, the slave maid saw the willow trees next to the water pavilion yesterday as if they had sprouts, can the slave and maid accompany the county lord for a walk?" ”

There was only silence in her answer.

This made the atmosphere even more somber.

Lian'er's nervous mood slowly tightened, and she was about to say something, but the woman on the couch suddenly got up.

"County Lord......" Lian'er called, with a slight joy in her heart, could it be that the county lord agreed to go to the Water Pavilion for a walk?

Lian'er hurriedly went to get the cloak, and muttered to herself, "Although the weather is gradually getting warmer, the wind next to the water pavilion should not be underestimated, and the county lord's body is very expensive, so it's not good to catch a cold." ”

As she spoke, Lian'er carefully draped the cloak in her hand on Nangong Ripples, and then walked out of the Shunxin Pavilion with Nangong Ripples, but as soon as she walked out of the door, Lian'er was stunned for a moment, this is not the way to the direction of the Water Pavilion.

Before he could speak, Nangong Ripple seemed to know what Lian'er wanted to say, "You go back to Shunxin Pavilion first." ”

Nangong Ripple commanded coldly.

Lian'er was stunned for a moment, glanced at Nangong Ripple, and asked tentatively, "County master, slave maid...... Are you going out? ”

"When is the whereabouts of this county lord going to be reported to you?" Nangong Ripple's tone became more and more dissatisfied, and through the veil, you could feel her fierce gaze.

"Slaves don't dare." Lian'er knelt on the ground in panic, her eyes shining with tears, and her face full of horror.

"Okay, okay, don't follow me, save me from being an eyesore here." Nangong Ripple frowned and scolded impatiently.

Looking at Lian'er kneeling on the ground, she turned out to be so fearful, which made her even more upset, and when she hated Lian'er from the bottom of her heart, she hated herself even more.

But the more she dislikes herself like this, the more she understands that she is not as beautiful as Mingyue, and she is not as good-looking as Mingyue.

Sweeping away the thoughts in his head, Nangong Ripple took a deep breath, stopped looking at Lian'er, and strode towards the gate of Shangguan Mansion.

Nangong Ripple left the Shangguan Mansion and went straight to a place.

The people on the street rubbed shoulders one after another, and Nangong Ripple looked at the two exquisite big characters on the door plaque of the shop.

"Ink Workshop"

In this Tianyin Mansion, it is also a pen and ink shop that everyone knows.

Naturally, she knew very well who its owner was.

Ink ......

With a touch of displeasure in his eyes, Nangong Ripple quickly took it back, and thinking of the purpose of this time, he strode into the ink workshop.

A few days ago, His Royal Highness the King of Jin had unlimited scenery, which made the business of the pen and ink shop very hot, and many people hoped to buy the pen and ink of the ink shop for display.

However, not long ago, the King of Jin was actually dismissed by the emperor after becoming a parent, this news caught many people off guard for a while, and the ink shop also lost its hot business, the store was extremely deserted, and everyone didn't want to continue to please His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who had lost the emperor's favor, and didn't want to contact him anymore.

A customer finally came to the store today, and the shopkeeper greeted him warmly, with a smile on his face, but before he could make a sound, Nangong Ripple asked eagerly: "Do you know where King Jin is?" ”

Well? Why did you ask about him?

The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and quickly reacted, looked at the veiled woman in front of him, and replied, "This, His Royal Highness King Jin ...... him"

"I'm her cousin, I want to see him, you go and talk to him." Nangong Ripple interrupted him and said to himself, it seemed that he was very sure that King Jin was in this place.

The shopkeeper immediately frowned, thought for a while, and after a brief salute to the veiled woman, he returned to the inner hall, and soon came out, at this time, his attitude towards Nangong Ripple was more polite than Fang Cai, "Madam, come with me." ”

Nangong Ripple followed the store into the inner hall, and then walked into the private room on the second floor.

After coming to the room, a strong fragrance of tea poured into Nangong Ripple's nasal cavity.

She looked at the interior, it looked delicate and elegant, and it was in line with the image of King Jin who was usually free and easy, and it was not surprising if it was before. However, now, King Jin's fanatical ambitions have been exposed, and the landscape in front of him naturally looks very comical.

At this time, King Jin, who was wearing a light-pigmented clothes, was quietly sipping tea, and he looked much thinner than last month.

It seems that his recent days have not been pleasant.

Nangong Ripple no longer looked at him, but turned his gaze to the chess game in front of Nangong Mo.

Now he actually has such leisure.

He shouldn't know about Shangguan Yue's marriage with the Hanging Secret Envoy now!

Nangong Ripple's eyes flashed, and he walked towards Nangong Su leisurely, carefully observing this chess game, Nangong Ripple had some understanding of the next period, and soon discovered the mystery of the chess game.

Although this game seems to be an endgame, it contains many vitality.

Nangong Mo was holding a sunspot in his hand, which had been hanging in the air and had not been put down.

Nangong Ripple saw that he was looking at the chessboard and fell into thought, presumably he was not thinking about the chess game, even she could see these vitality, and King Jin could naturally see it, so he pinched the chess pieces and didn't let go, he should be thinking about other things!

Isn't the current situation like a game of chess?

And does he want to play chess?

Nangong Ripple probably understood what he was thinking, he had been in for a while, but he hadn't paid attention to himself, Nangong Ripple pursed his lips, came to Nangong Mo and sat down, and played him a white chess.

This action finally brought him back to his senses.

Since the white piece has fallen to a certain position, the game has changed with it, and the situation of black seems to be even more unoptimistic.

Nangong Mo looked at the chess game, squinting his eyes slightly, obviously in a bad mood.

Of course, Nangong Ripple also noticed the change in his mood, but she smiled slightly, and said to Nangong Mo's eyes, "Alas, it's a pity, His Royal Highness King Jin is still one step slower, isn't this whole chess game the current situation?" Every step has to go through careful thinking, if you take a step slower, there will be a different situation, I don't know if His Royal Highness King Jin agrees with what Ripples said? ”

It was very different from the previous meeting between the two, and this time Nangong Ripple seemed to be more imposing.

Nangong Mo had also noticed the change in her, and couldn't help but glance at her, although the other party was wearing a veil, her fierce gaze was difficult to hide, Nangong Mo frowned, "Why did the group leader come?" Is it just a chess game with this king? ”
