Liu Chupei stumbled forward, and she saw Xie Heng standing at the door at a glance.

"Where did you go again?" Xie Heng saw Liu Chupei, and his tightly knit brows stretched a little.

Liu Chupei grabbed Xie Heng's arm, stabilized his already weak legs, and pulled him inside.

Xie Heng faintly noticed that something was wrong with her, her hand was holding him tightly, and she was still trembling, "Achu, what's wrong?"

Liu Chupei didn't speak, and kept eagerly pulling him to the mansion.

She pulled him into a corner, looked back, and saw that the carriage outside was out of sight, and she relaxed.

"Ah Chu, what's wrong?" Xie Heng saw that she was in a trance, a little worried.

"Ah Heng...... Ah Heng ......" Liu Chupei clutched his sleeve tightly, kept calling his name in her mouth, and the tremor in her voice revealed her helplessness and fear.

"Achu, tell me, what's going on?" Xie Heng comforted her softly, he had rarely seen her like this, something must have happened.

"Ah Heng...... A Heng ...... He's, he's back...... It's back. Liu Chupei's mind kept coming to mind the eyes of the person who had been looking at her with bad intentions, and fear came to her face.

"Who? Who's back?" Xie Heng touched her head and reassured her, who could make her afraid of this.

"Ten...... Eleven...... Eleven Emperor Uncle. Liu Chupei threw himself into Xie Heng's arms and cried, "What should I do? Xie Heng, what should I do? He came back, I was afraid, I was afraid." ”

Xie Heng was stunned, Liu Yu? Why is he here? Isn't he in Huaiyang?

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here. Xie Heng patted her on the back gently, "I won't give him another chance, Apei, don't be afraid." ”

The man in his arms kept crying and wet his placket. His heart tightened, Liu Chupei was not afraid of anything, she didn't shed a single tear when she broke her skin before, but now she was scared and cried because she was alone.

As soon as he thought of Liu Yu, a chill gradually appeared in his eyes, and his killing intent gradually revealed......

"Ah Heng, I want to go back to the palace first, do you talk to grandpa, I won't go, I'm afraid he will worry about this picture. Liu Chupei raised her head, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and sniffed, but there was still crying in her words.

"Okay, you wait here, I'll go find someone to tell grandpa, wait for me to send you back. Xie Heng let go of her and wiped her tears with his thumb, "Don't cry." ”

"Xie Heng, come back quickly. Liu Chupei's hands were empty, he was a little panicked, and grabbed his sleeve again.

"Good. He touched her head, walked briskly, and when he passed the gate, he glanced out, the gate of Xie's mansion was empty, and the carriage had just left, so he temporarily relaxed and walked towards the courtyard.

Liu Chupei slowly moved her steps out, she stuck to the door, and slowly looked out, it turned out that she had just arrived at the carriage and disappeared, she poked out again, looked around again, and only relieved herself when she didn't see anything.

In the distance

There were two men standing in the woods, looking at the back of the woman in front of them.

"Whose carriage?" The man standing behind the tree looked at the figure in front of him, and there was a chill in his eyes.

"Back to the master, it is Liu Yu, the king of Huaiyang. The other stood respectfully aside.

"Liu Yu?" He chuckled, "When you enter Jiankang City, you don't meet the emperor first, but come to Xie Mansion to find someone first, which is a bit interesting." ”

"Meow—" The white ball in his arms moved.

"She's just like you, a little restless. He stroked its supple white hair, looked at her back, and sneered.

"Master, do you want to release the news?" An Yan raised his head and looked at his master.

"No, I don't. His slender fingers rubbed the cat's back lightly, and said quietly: "Since Liu Jun can't bear to kill this younger brother, let him taste the taste of self-inflicted evil, prepare the carriage, it's time to go." ”

"Master, that—the fifth princess......" An Yan looked in the direction of the door, and then turned his head to look at his master, trying to see something on his face.

"Isn't there still the third son of the Xie family?" he glanced at her absently and turned to leave.

An Yan was a little confused, what does the master mean by this, didn't he pay attention to these five princesses before, why don't he seem to care at all now. He couldn't figure it out and immediately followed.

When Xie Heng came, Xiangnu also followed behind.

"Princess, what's wrong?" Xiangnu was a little strange, she didn't catch up with her just now, just a while, why did she have to go back to the palace.

Liu Chupei shook his head and got into the carriage first, followed by Xie Heng.

"Gongzi Xie!" Xiangnu saw him get into the carriage and was a little anxious.

"What else?" Xie Heng's hand that lifted the sedan curtain paused.

"That ......" He is in a carriage with the princess, how can this work, a lonely man and a widow, it's not that she can't trust Xie Heng, but if someone sees it, it can't be said with a few mouths.

Xie Heng is not stupid, he naturally knows her concerns, "I have something to tell her, just follow her outside." ”

"Anu, you follow outside, I want to say a few words to Xie Heng. Liu Chupei in the carriage suppressed the fear just now, not wanting Xiangnu to hear it.

Xiangnu nodded and stepped aside.

Xie Heng sat down, took a spare cloak from the side and put it on her knees, "I'll arrange a few people for you, if anything happens, I can know immediately." ”

Liu Chupei shook his head, "The palace is strictly investigated, no matter who it is, no matter who it is, you can't stuff people in, and if you are found, you will be killed." ”

"Then you should pay attention in the palace, if you meet him, you can avoid it, if he comes to you, you can make an excuse not to go, don't see him alone, make excuses You are the best at it anyway. He frowned, leaving her alone in the palace, he was really not at ease.

Liu Chupei glanced at him speechlessly, "I still need you to say this." ”

"Otherwise, you will live in Xie Mansion, and I will take care of you. Xie Heng thought about it and felt that it was a both

strategy.

"If he doesn't leave, is it possible that I want to stay in Xie Mansion for the rest of my life?" Liu Chupei was also irritable in his heart, and he would often bump into him when he returned to the palace, but living in Xie Mansion was not a long-term solution.

"It's not impossible. Xie Heng put away his serious expression, and then looked like he was underwhelmed, "When you marry me, won't you be able to stay in Xie Mansion for the rest of your life." ”

"I don't want it. Liu Chupei glanced at him with disgust, "If I marry you, I will be angry with you for ten years." ”

"Hey, which girl in Jiankang City doesn't want to marry me Xie Heng, rich, powerful and interesting. Xie Heng leaned lazily on the carriage and touched his face narcissistically.

Liu Chupei laughed, and the discomfort just now was swept away, "I don't want to." ”

Xie Heng glanced at her with disgust, and snorted absently, "Are you a girl?"

"Xie Heng!" Liu Chupei smashed the cushion behind his back on him, "It's good that a person like you doesn't have a wife or concubine for the rest of his life, you poisonous tongue don't go to harm others." ”

"It's not good to have no wives and concubines, and you can be happy and comfortable alone. Xie Heng looked cynical, but his eyes were full of deep meaning for her.

"I don't believe that you will have no wives and concubines, is it possible that you want to become a monk?" Liu Chupei looked at his indifferent face and pursed his lips.

"Monks?" He thought about it carefully, "It's not impossible, if I really can't find someone I like in my life, then I'll become a monk, a green lamp every day with the ancient Buddha, it's not bad." ”

His tone was relaxed, but his heart was full of sourness, if there was no her in the future, Hongchen would have no nostalgia, and the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha would not be impossible.

"Then I will go to your temple to offer incense and donate more money for sesame oil so that you will not starve to death. She wanted to laugh when she thought of Xie Heng's shaved appearance.

"Then I really thank you. Xie Heng sometimes really admires her brain circuits, and really wants to open her brain to see what is inside.

"Xie Heng. Liu Chupei's tone suddenly became low, "I always feel that something must happen when Uncle Huang comes back." ”

"Those are all court matters, you don't have to worry. Xie Heng sat next to her and rubbed her head, "You can just stay in the palace in peace." "Her father is the emperor, her mother is the queen, the eldest brother is the crown prince, the second brother is the king of Xiyang, and the elder sister is the eldest princess, she is the most favored one, no matter what she says, she will not be allowed to become a victim of politics.

Liu Chupeika's words in her throat were swallowed again, some things involved secrets in the palace, and it was inconvenient for her to say them, but she was stuffy and uncomfortable in her heart, and she didn't know who to talk to.

"Princess, it's time to get to the palace gate. Shanu's voice came from outside.

"Good. Liu Chupei took a deep breath, pretended that nothing had happened, and said to Xie Heng: "I'll leave first, and I'll go out of the palace to find you another day." ”

"Good. He nodded, watched Liu Chupei get out of the carriage, and gradually moved away.

His gaze retracted, and it grew cold

Come, to the people outside: "Qingfeng, after you return home, you will go to check, why did Liu Yu come back suddenly? Besides the fifth princess, who else has he seen?"

"Yes!" Qingfeng drove the carriage out of the palace gate.

Liu Chupei, who had just returned to the palace, had not yet sat down, when a little palace maid came to report that the king of Huaiyang had entered the palace, and the emperor was holding a banquet for him to catch the wind and wash the dust, and invited the fifth princess to come over.

Liu Chupei sighed in his heart when he heard this, waved his hand, and hurriedly motioned for Xiangnu to reply.

Xiangnu naturally understood what it meant, and lied to the palace maid that the princess had rested, and then said that the palace door was closed.

"Princess—" Shannu made her a cup of tea and handed it to her.

"Anu, if someone reports something related to the Eleventh Emperor Uncle or someone from the Eleventh Emperor Uncle comes in the future, you will all refuse, just say that I have fallen asleep or am not in the palace. Worriedly, she instructed the incense slave, "Don't say I'm sick." "With the emperor's uncle's temperament, when he hears that she is sick, he will definitely come over in person.

Xiangnu doesn't know why, every time the princess mentions King Huaiyang, it's like this.

"You go out, I'll stay by myself for a while. Liu Chupei waved her hand and motioned for her to go out.

After the incense slave left, Liu Chupei rummaged in the cabinet and found a few carving knives from it.

She took out the sachet that she had just kept in her arms, took out the sugar jade inside, and couldn't help but touch it again, the coolness of the jade passed into her hand, but she didn't feel cold.

She picked up the carving knife and carefully carved it on the sugar jade, for fear that it would be broken.

When the sky was gloomy, she stretched her waist, picked up her finished product and looked at it for a long time, very satisfied.

She put the sugar jade on the table and got up to tell Xiangnu to bring some food.

Under the light of the candles, a piece of fish-shaped sugar jade lay quietly there.
