And after that, as the queen and Long Zhengning began to intervene between the two, Zhuang Mingyue gradually noticed that something was wrong.

Before the said imperial city of the eastern capital, there was a hidden mystery under the clouds of harmony, and now the sky above the imperial capital city has begun to be filled with a treacherous atmosphere.

Especially since Zhuang Mingyue recognized the feelings in her heart, she even noticed that something was wrong. Not to mention how the queen in the deep palace of the imperial city noticed the different feelings between her and Long Yuanxiu, and even the information reached a certain point.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence, not long after she confirmed this feeling, she directly designated the daughter of a minister to Long Yuanxiu.

and Long Zhengning, when he knew the other party from the beginning and was also from the 21st century, Zhuang Mingyue was also quite happy in his heart, and his attitude towards him was also friendly.

This feeling is like being far away from home, and still knowing that most of you will never be able to return to your hometown, suddenly meeting someone who can understand what you are saying and can understand all kinds of things you do, it will naturally make people subconsciously get closer, and involuntarily want to get closer.

But since Zhuang Mingyue discovered Long Zhengning's small actions and those behaviors that wanted to dig the foot of the wall, all of them made Zhuang Mingyue feel resistant, and even disgusted.

After all, when you finally recognize your heart, if someone suddenly comes out and does something you don't like in a way that you are extremely disgusted with, it will naturally be disgusted and disgusted.

But the other party's current identity is the same as the queen who also gave her and was extremely displeased. No matter who she is, she is far more powerful than her, not to mention how long the queen's hand can stretch in the previous dynasty.

Just the fact that Long Zhengning is the eldest prince of today's Sheng Dynasty, the eldest son of the emperor is enough to prove everything.

Zhuang Mingyue, who realized this, gradually understood that the situation she was in now was too light.

If it is said that she resolutely chose to resign under the emperor's special title before, it is because she does not want to have too much to do with the conspiracy in this deep palace.

Compared with a person who has real power, but has to beware of the conspiracy behind others all the time, and there are so many non-words, Zhuang Mingyue is more willing to run the beauty and health center and the Egret Academy.

In these places, she is at least comfortable and happy, and even if it is subject to gossip, it is perfectly acceptable to her.

So now, in the situation that she has been attacked by the enemy, if she escapes like this, she is afraid that she will really ......

The more she thought about it, the more she felt a little cold, Zhuang Mingyue, couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly, "It seems that the things that should be solved should be solved as soon as possible......"

Caixia, who went to the kitchen to bring soup back, just raised her feet into the house when she heard Zhuang Mingyue's muttering.

He subconsciously said, "Miss? Are you going to do something? If you can, you can just tell the slave to ......"

Zhuang Mingyue, who was pondering, heard Caixia's words, but just raised her eyes to look over, and only after Caixia brought the soup cup to the table beside her, did she shake her head lightly.

"I have to do it myself, and now that I've figured it out, there's no better place to hesitate." As she spoke, Zhuang Mingyue raised her hand and picked up the spoon from the tray.

Caixia, who lifted the lid of the soup cup, looked at Zhuang Mingyue with a somewhat wrong look, and lowered her eyelids slightly.

Because she had just come in, she didn't know what Zhuang Mingyue had decided.

She also knew that she was just a maid, and she shouldn't have speculated too much about her master's thoughts, let alone asked too much.

But now the situation has become a little different, the previous incident made Caiyun disappear, and now there is only one person left to protect Zhuang Mingyue. Therefore, she must pay attention to the various possibilities around Zhuang Mingyue with the sensitivity of the two of them.

Caixia, who was thinking like this, hesitated for a moment and finally raised her eyes to look at Zhuang Mingyue again, "Miss, forgive the slave maid for committing the following crimes, dare to ask what Miss just said is the matter?" ”

"Now there is only one slave and maid left by Miss's side, if the slave and maid don't know anything, if they let Miss go on an adventure alone, I am afraid it will be ......."

Zhuang Mingyue, who was drinking the soup, couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Caixia's worried and nervous words, as well as the look that couldn't hold back but was worried that she would be offended.

After swallowing the soup in her mouth and putting the spoon down, Zhuang Mingyue slowly spoke: "Caixia, don't be so nervous, I'm not doing anything life-and-death." ”

Caixia's tense shoulders when she heard this were slightly relaxed, but she didn't really slow down, "What you just said ...... Miss?"

I saw Zhuang Mingyue shook her head at Chong Caixia a little helplessly, and then she continued: "You also know about the recent events, although Your Majesty once made me a third-grade official, but my ambition was not above this court at the beginning, so I specially asked Your Majesty to resign and return to the identity of this ordinary person." ”

Zhuang Mingyue, who said this, seemed to have thought of something, paused for a moment, and after a while, he continued to speak slowly: "It's just ...... Now it seems that I still need to have a relationship with this former Chao Shen Palace, otherwise...... I'm just afraid that I won't be able to protect myself when the time comes......"

Hearing this, Caixia's palms trembled slightly, "Miss......"

In her consciousness, she needs to follow and protect Zhuang Mingyue in this life until the other party no longer needs her.

And she also knew that from the beginning, Zhuang Mingyue didn't like to be involved too much with the people in the palace. It is precisely because of this that after receiving the emperor's reward and enthronement, there was no greed or nostalgia.

But now, Zhuang Mingyue wants to take the initiative to get close to those conspiracies. Thinking of Caixia here, her eyes trembled slightly, "Miss, if you...... Caixia will always follow you, accompany and protect you. ”

Caixia, who wanted to persuade something, didn't say anything in the end.

Just like what Zhuang Mingyue just said, even if Zhuang Mingyue has been deliberately avoiding and not wanting to have too much to do with the imperial city, but in the end, for such a long time, the things they have encountered are more or less related to the imperial palace.

And the one before that

This kind of evasion not only did not allow them to be independent, but on the contrary, they were more and more involved in those things, and they were disconnected.

Instead of staying dodged like this, why don't you take this opportunity to step in and face it directly.

Zhuang Mingyue looked at the determination in Caixia's eyes, and the smile on her lips couldn't help but deepen. In her heart, she never really treated Caixia Caiyun as a lowly slave, but because of their sincerity, she regarded them as real friends.

Even if Caixia Caiyun's sincerity comes from their inner loyalty to their master, but even so, in Zhuang Mingyue's opinion, it is also a comfort for her, a person from another world.

Zhuang Mingyue, who had a smile on her lips, raised her hand to hold Caixia's hand lightly, and said in a sincere tone: "Caixia, thank you." ”

Caixia couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the sudden thank you from the person in front of her, and then quickly knelt down, "Miss, it's right for the slave to follow you and protect you, the slave can't afford it!" ”

"Bear it."

Caixia, who was kneeling on the ground with her head down, heard Zhuang Mingyue's firm words, raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her, but she didn't want to crash into her deep eyes at a glance.

Looking at each other, Zhuang Mingyue looked at Caixia's slightly flustered gaze, and said slowly and firmly again: "Caixia, take it." ”

Caixia, who opened her mouth slightly, was so stunned and indulged in Zhuang Mingyue's eyes, trembling her lips and wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

In Caixia's heart, Zhuang Mingyue is her master, and she will naturally choose to put her first, even beyond her life.

And she is a slave maid, don't say that it is at this moment, even if she sacrifices for her master on the way to protect her master, other people will reappear around her at that time, let alone her, a person who has been sacrificed.

Realizing that her treatment was something that other slaves could not get, Caixia, who had always been calm, faintly flashed with an indescribable meaning, "Little ...... Miss...... Slave ......"

Zhuang Mingyue, who knew Caixia's thoughts, just stood up and bent down to hold up Caixia who was kneeling on the ground, "Caixia, I remember that I said a long time ago that your lives should not be blindly dedicated to me......"

Zhuang Mingyue, who wanted to continue to instill the thoughts in her heart with Caixia, looked at the person in front of her, and finally sighed lightly, "That's it, it's just that this time I'm going to get involved with the people in the palace, I'm afraid there will be more dangers around me in the future." ”

"No matter how much danger there is. Caixia will stay by the young lady's side until the moment when her life ends! Caixia, who was helped up, was about to kneel down again to show her loyalty, but was grabbed by Zhuang Mingyue, who was holding her arms.

"Don't kneel anymore, the hour is almost up, go to the palace with me first, some things should be completed earlier, otherwise I am afraid that there will be more trouble."

Zhuang Mingyue, who said this, took a deep look at Caixia in front of her.

In the summer, the weather is as hot as ever.

When Zhuang Mingyue sat in the stuffy carriage and came to the gate of the imperial city, she saw the guards guarding the gate whose cheeks were red because of the sun.
