Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

When the group returned to Xiao Zhengze's palace, he was poking the food in his bowl with his golden chopsticks out of boredom.

It was not until he heard the announcement that he hurriedly had the bowl taken away and thrown away, then stood up to greet the imperial sister and Lou Xiao.

With the imperial sister around, he didn't dare to pounce on Lou Xiao, especially when he saw Xiao Zhengdu and Li Huaiqing behind the imperial sister, he almost couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

What a disgusting pair of people.

"Xiaoxiao, you ate some. I asked her to come and keep me company more often in the future. You can't make excuses and say you have no appetite now."

The Queen knew very well what her brother was thinking. Although she did not fully agree, as Xiao Zhengze's health worsened, she had to compromise.

"That's great!" Xiao Zhengze pulled Lou Xiao to sit down, and asked her to help him get the dishes like before.

Seeing this, Li Huaiqing found an excuse to apologize to His Majesty and left. Xiao Zhengdu was also restless and said,

"I'll go see if the Imperial Medical Bureau has come to any conclusions," and then he left.

The Queen watched Lou Xiao and Xiao Zhengze get along, and could tell that Xiao Zhengze had something else in mind.

And Lou Xiao seemed to just be taking care of him as his younger brother, patiently and gently, as if she was coaxing a child.

On the other hand, Xiao Zhengdu hid in the Imperial Hospital and did not participate in the quarrel between Anilan and the imperial physician.

He just didn't want to see Lou Xiao and Xiao Zhengze being so affectionate - why could she ignore him as if they didn't even know each other!

The doctor was arguing with Anilan until his face turned red and his neck became thick. For some reason, he felt that the girl in front of him was absent-minded.

Following the direction she secretly looked, Youshan King Xiao Zhengdu was sitting alone, ignoring everyone and looking like he wanted no one to approach him.

They knew the temper of King Youshan and did not dare to disturb him.

But Anilan didn't understand. After she finished arguing with the imperial physician, she took the opportunity to sneak to Xiao Zhengdu's side.

Introduce yourself again.

"My name is Anilan, what's your name? We met that day, do you remember?"

It would have been fine if she didn't mention it. As soon as she mentioned Xiao Zhengdu, she remembered her own self-conceit that day, and her smile was all wasted.

"You remembered it wrongly. This king has never seen you before."

Anilan felt a little weak after hearing his self-proclaimed words, and said "Oh" to defend himself.

"Then I remembered it wrongly. I saw you myself. I wanted to get off the carriage and look for you that day.

But she said there was plenty of time, no rush, I didn't expect to see you today!"

Xiao Zhengdu knew who the "she" in Anilan's mouth was. He stopped drinking tea and said with a puzzled look,

"What else did she say?"

Anilan was confused and tried to think carefully about what Lou Xiao said, but she couldn't remember it at all. She only vaguely said,

"She said she would help me find you - and told me not to be too direct with whoever I liked, saying that you people from the Central Plains can't sleep with anyone casually."

After that, she asked for confirmation, "Really? The union of yin and yang is a normal phenomenon of heaven and earth. Why can't we bring up this topic?"

Her words just happened to catch Xiao Zhengdu's grudge. He thought Lou Xiao had told the girl about what happened between them and didn't respect her.

Otherwise, who would talk about this in front of the opposite sex?

Xiao Zhengdu was anxious and angry, his head was almost dizzy, he gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, "You mean, you want to do something good to me? Does she know?"

Anilan thought about it and nodded. Lou Xiao knew that he had a crush on someone, so he said,

"She knows."

The veins on Xiao Zhengdu's forehead bulged, his eyes were slightly red, and the teacup in his hand was crushed by him with a "snap".

The girl in front of him pretended not to see it and continued, "I'm very popular in Nanzi, don't worry, everyone who has been with me has good things to say about it."

As she spoke, she did not forget to praise him, "I see that you have a good physique and a strong waist, you must be very powerful."

Xiao Zhengdu was about to go crazy, and he didn't know how to stay rational. He threw away the broken porcelain pieces in his hand.

He could even continue to talk to her, "Is this what she told you?"

He had to admit that he had no initiative that day. With his eyes blindfolded, he had no idea what Lou Xiao's expression was.

But based on his understanding of Lou Xiao, she would definitely not tell such private matters to outsiders.

He asked such a question because he was simply mad.

"That's not the case. You can tell." Anilan was very honest. "You'll know more about this kind of thing with more experience."

"You have been through hundreds of battles." Xiao Zhengdu's hair tied in a crown was about to explode, and he was on the verge of a rage.

"Who gave you the courage to say this in front of me? Do you think that I won't kill you just because you are working for His Majesty and have the Duke of Zhenguo behind you?"

Anilan was even more confused, "Why do you want to kill me? Don't you want to?"

"It's wrong to dare to mention it." Xiao Zhengdu looked at him with disdain, "Who do you think you are? How dare you covet this king?"

Anilan took a step back after hearing this, and thought of what Lou Xiao had said. It seemed that she really shouldn't have said it directly to his face.

She just saw a man who was particularly suitable for her, so she just said it casually.

She just didn't understand why there was any point in hiding such a thing, why she couldn't just say it to his face.

But the contempt and a little hatred in Xiao Zhengdu's eyes made Anilan feel a little frustrated.

The first person who rejected her in Nanzi was Li Huaiqing, and when she arrived in Central Plains, the first person who was most suitable for her also rejected her.

At this time, she began to realize that her advantages in Nanzi might not exist in the Central Plains.

Anilan said weakly as if he had been hit, "If you don't want to, forget it. If you want to kill me, I will tell His Majesty.

Why are you people from the Central Plains so rigid? One is Li Huaiqing, the other is——"

She glanced at Xiao Zhengdu and asked, "Do you look down on me, or are there rules in the Central Plains that don't allow this?"

Xiao Zhengdu, who was about to faint from anger, suddenly became interested when she mentioned Li Huaiqing.

"Li Huaiqing? You and him?"

Although he knew that Li Huaiqing would not let her succeed, Xiao Zhengdu was still very happy to hear about his ugly deeds.

"He didn't want to. If he hadn't called my master, I would have killed him long ago."

Anilan didn't seem to be obsessed with Li Huaiqing, "But that's just a custom after the sacrifice. You are different."

Xiao Zhengdu automatically ignored the last sentence and said calmly, "Tell me in detail how you almost killed him..."

He must not miss the opportunity to see Li Huaiqing having fun.

----

Lou Xiao accompanied Xiao Zhengze to finish his meal, and then coaxed him to sleep. After finally finishing the meal, she was about to walk to the corridor to leave the palace.

Walking past a closed old temple, the door suddenly opened, a hand reached out, grabbed her and pulled her inside.

Lou Xiao sneered and was about to punch him, but when he saw the man's face, he silently put his fist down.

Forget it.

Just follow him.

The man pulled her into the house and locked the wooden door in one go.

Then he placed one hand on the wooden door beside her ear, and in a restrained posture, he looked down at her silently in the old, half-lit and half-dark room.

"Avoid me?"
