The Night Courtyard is located in the southwest corner of the Imperial Palace, next to the Cold Palace, and is the most remote place in the Imperial Palace. Except for the accident of someone carrying some dirty laundry every day, few people come here in particular. This is almost the third area of the palace.

But today, in this three-regardless zone, there is a big man - Princess Linchuan.

Although Princess Linchuan is not a descendant, she is very favored, and she is married to Chen Fei, a new powerful man in the court, and the two complement each other. Now everyone in the court knows that Chen Fei is His Majesty's most favored courtier, and Linchuan is His Majesty's beloved daughter, and the identities of the two are naturally rising.

In this remote corner of the palace, Lin Chuan is probably the most powerful one to come.

Wu Zetian took the handkerchief handed over by Lu Liu, wiped the water stains on his forehead slightly, and then followed Lu Liu to see Princess Linchuan sitting in the sedan chair outside.

When the two women saw each other, they just looked at each other calmly, nodded, and then Wu Zetian saluted Linchuan. "The sinner has seen the princess."

"Let's be flat." Lin Chuan glanced left and right, and the maid eunuch beside him understood, and retreated respectfully.

Linchuan looked Wu Zetian up and down, silently made a comparison in his heart, and then his face became a little unpleasant.

Although Wu Zetian has been in the Night Court for two years, her body is thin and haggard, and she does not have powder on her face, but I have to admit that she is indeed a complete beauty.

Otherwise, she would not have been called "Mei Niang" by Li Shimin as soon as she entered the palace.

Xianggong asked her to pay attention to such a beautiful woman, and Lin Chuan was naturally alarmed, but her good cultivation made her not show it. just said with a calm face: "Martial arts talent, I heard that you are a smart person, do you know why this palace is looking for you?" ”

Why are you looking for me? How do you let me know? Wu Zetian's heart was probably like this, but she still shook her head and said, "The sinner girl doesn't know. It's a shame to say that the sinner girl has never seen the princess when she was still with His Majesty, but I have to see it today, and the princess is really as beautiful as the rumors, like an immortal in the sky, Your Majesty is really a blessing. ”

Women like others to praise themselves for being beautiful, and Linchuan is no exception. Originally, she was a little unhappy when she saw Wu Zetian's posture inferior to herself, but when she was praised by Wu Zetian like this, she immediately forgot about the unhappiness, and even spoke in a much gentler tone.

"Hehe, the mouth of a martial artist is as sweet as honey, and Linchuan doesn't dare to accept this compliment. To tell you the truth, you and I didn't know each other before, and I didn't want to rescue you, but...... I've been asked to help you. You're a smart man, and you should know what I mean. ”

What do you mean? Wu Zetian thought about it and quickly guessed a rough idea in his heart. In this world, I am afraid that there is only one person in the world who can make Princess Linchuan speak for her willingly...... That guy, right?

Wu Zetian gestured with his little thumb to hand over the cup, then pointed to Linchuan, put down his hand and bowed his head and said: "The sinner girl is not talented, I don't know if I guessed right." ”

Linchuan's eyes flickered, staring at Wu Zetian and asking, "You knew each other before?" ”

Wu Zetian shook his head: "The sinner girl has never met him, let alone acquaintance?" Sinner Girl...... I don't know why he saved me. “

Linchuan stared at Wu Zetian for a long time, and found that she didn't seem to be lying, so he smiled and said, "Coincidentally, I don't know the reason." But you just have to remember that I rescued you today. ”

Wu Zetian thought about it, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "I think, this is the reason why he wants to save me, right?" ”

"What?" Linchuan didn't react.

"Don't you understand, princess? Since the sinners have received your favor today, there will be a day when they will repay it. Fear... That's what he thinks, right? ”

"Hehe, you're really a smart person, but you guessed wrong."

"Guess wrong?" Wu Zetian was stunned, "Why did you guess wrong, isn't it ......?"

"It's not." Lin Chuan shook his head slightly, "I used to think so, but he didn't think so, he asked me to tell you: 'Stay in the Night Garden, when the opportunity comes, you will naturally go out.'" In addition, he also specially instructed me to convey that I do not need to repay the favor, but only need to remember this kindness. ”

Don't need to repay the favor? Wu Zetian was stunned, there is such a good thing in the world that happened to meet him? At the beginning, she even thought that Princess Linchuan rescued her for another purpose, maybe she wanted to use her to do something, but now it seems that it is different from what she imagined.

Although Linchuan and... The man might still have a purpose for herself, but she couldn't guess. Because she doesn't have any use value now.

It's frustrating, but it's the truth.

"Princess, Sinner......"

"Okay, needless to say, you can know, don't ask too much, we really don't have any other purpose for you, we just want to make a good fate. You don't have to guess either. We can't get you out of the Night, but it's okay to make your life more comfortable. Green willows? ”

"Alas!" Green Willow answered from a distance and ran over in small steps, "What do you command, princess?" ”

"Go and call the steward here, I have something to say to him."

When Wu Zetian heard this, his heart was suddenly ecstatic, and it seemed that he ...... The days of humiliation are really coming to an end!

When Luliu went to call the steward, Wu Zetian suddenly knelt in front of Linchuan and kowtowed: "The kindness of the princess, the sinner girl will never forget!" ”

Linchuan helped Wu Zetian up and comforted her a few words. Although she didn't like Wu Zetian very much, she still felt some sympathy in her heart when she saw that the former proud daughter of the sky had fallen into such a situation. Just like Chen Fei said, help her, and you should have this good fate.

A moment later, Grandpa Ruan trotted all the way over. Seeing Linchuan's "plop", he knelt down.

"The minion has seen the princess."

"Excuse me, get up."

"Thank you, princess!" Father-in-law Ruan got up from the ground, glanced at Wu Zetian secretly, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and forced a smile.

"Grandpa Ruan, Princess Ben is here today to tell you something. Green poplar? ”

The maid Lu Yang came forward with a tray and handed it to Grandpa Ruan. Lin Chuan stretched out his hand and gently lifted the red cloth on the tray, and a tray full of silver ingots appeared in front of Ruan Gonggong, almost sucking out his eyes.

As a eunuch, that aspect of the function is gone, but his desire for money and power has not diminished at all, but has been infinitely magnified.

This tray full of silver ingots, to say the least, was two hundred taels, which of course made him greedy.

"Father-in-law Ruan, the martial artist has had a few good relationships with this princess, this princess hopes that she will not be wronged in the night court, these two hundred taels of silver ingots are regarded as a thank you gift from this princess, I don't know if Grandpa Ruan may take it?"
