The night is like splashing ink, and Baling City is like a sleeping giant beast quietly dormant.

Suddenly, a bright fireworks exploded in the air outside the city, and the city gate made of fine iron slowly opened like a beast's mouth, and the Shenji Battalion took the lead, and Chaoxi and Shang Jue slowly walked into the heart of Shu in this sparkling carriage and horse.

"Princess Shaoguang and the prince of Yan Kingdom enter the city, and speed up to the king!"

The cold voice fell with a rebellious sentence, when even if there was a fast horse galloping away, and the carriage of Chaoxi and Shang Jue was still unhurried, everyone looked at the street scene on both sides with a careful gaze, the night was dark, the city had a curfew, and the lights were occasionally seen in the dark houses, one by one, and the houses and pavilions with carved beams and paintings became bright and dark shadows, Rao is so, the prosperity and wealth of Baling City are self-evident, the quiet late night has been so, and what kind of grand scene is the day?

In the carriage, neither Chaoxi nor Shang Jue spoke, and no one opened the curtains to look at the scenery outside, closed his eyes all the way, Shang Jue took advantage of the lights in the car to hold a book at will, both of them were silent, but the car was not as calm as it appeared on the surface, Shang Jue did not expect that Chaoxi would come back to Baling so soon, and Chaoxi ......

The day and night are as immobile as a mountain, and Shang Jue doesn't know what he is thinking for the time being.

The quieter it is, the more dangerous it is, but it's too quiet day and night.

The sound of wheels and horses' hooves was very clear in the night, and hit the tip of everyone's hearts again and again, and invisibly measured the distance from the city gate to the palace.

"General Lin, Princess Wang Shangxuan and the prince have entered the palace to meet you!"

Stopped, stationed on the horse, a sharp eunuch voice suddenly came from twenty zhang in front of him, it seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time, hearing this voice, Chaoxi's brows frowned imperceptibly, Shang Jue put down the book in his hand, his eyes fell lightly on Chaoxi's face, and Chaoxi also looked over, but his eyes were like no emotion.

Shang Jue grabbed Chaoxi's hand and squeezed it hard.

Chaoxi's eyes are a little loose, but he turned his eyes away and lifted the car curtain for the first time, the car curtain was opened, and the majestic Baling Palace appeared in front of Chaoxi's eyes, Shu is in the south of Dayin, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the people are rich, presumably the bitter cold land in the northwest, the wealth of Shu can even catch up with and surpass Qi a hundred years ago, because of this, the Shu King's Palace has been expanded through the past dynasties, and now its grandeur is far from being comparable to the palace city of other countries.

After just one glance, Chaoxi's brows furrowed.

Thirteen years ago, the palace door twenty zhang away in front of the palace "squeak" opened, she and Chao Du were driven out at the age of four like lost dogs, since then it has been thirteen years of displacement, thirteen years, how many thirteen years can her life have? When she came out, there were two people, but when she came back today, she was the only one.

The corners of her lips sank slightly, and after a moment, there was no other expression on her face, she was calm and calm, her delicate face was still peerless, but it was like wearing a mask, and no one could spy on the true feelings under her mask.

"Princess, Your Highness, you can only bring important servants to meet Your Majesty. ”

Someone came with a horse, it was still that cold voice, Shang Jue did not speak, he had the arrangement of Yun Zhe and Zhan Jiucheng outside, and the two of them naturally wanted to follow, in addition, they only ordered Shen'er and Zi Wei to follow the morning and evening, so delayed for a few moments, and after a while, the carriage marched again, the night breeze came slowly, and the curtain of the car that was put down in the morning and night was also blown up by the night wind, the torches on the high palace wall were bright, and the guards standing under the city wall were all majestic, very royal temperament.

Suddenly, the light dimmed, the carriage slowly entered the palace gate, the door hole was dark and lightless, but also the eyes behind him were all isolated, out of the doorway, a completely different sense of deterrence came to the face, the fire on the royal road stood up, the guards of the Royal Forest Army were all stubborn and stubborn beside them, the carriage moved slowly, and the guards did not even slant their eyes!

The carriage walked slowly, detouring back and forth along the royal road, not long after, the high palace walls on both sides suddenly disappeared, people's field of vision suddenly became broad, the first to arrive in the morning and evening was a small square, the square was paved with white jade, at the end was a white jade step by step, above the steps was a high platform with a fierce flag, and on the high platform stood the most majestic palace of the whole palace - Chongzheng Palace, Chongzheng Palace is the place where the King of Shu deals with political affairs, and the King of Shu summoned Chaoxi and Shang Jue here to show his importance, but Chaoxi clearly knows that the value of the King of Shu is definitely not for her.

The carriage did not stop until it reached the steps, and the cold voice opened its mouth again.

"When you arrive, please ask the princess and the prince to get out of the car and meet the king. ”

As he spoke, Yun Zhe had already walked to the front of the car and lifted the curtain slightly, Shang Jue in the car shook Chaoxi's hand again, and walked out with a calm short body, as soon as he walked out, Shang Jue saw the man standing on the side of the carriage, the man was tall, dressed in armor, the most eye-catching thing was the mask on his face that covered half of his face, this person, Shang Jue had seen him from afar before the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, his eyes swept over, Shang Jue turned around and got off the car!

Under the steps, the guards in the palace were all standing silently, Shang Jue did not shy away from reaching out his hand, and when he got off the car, he was slightly stunned and handed his hand up, only to see a palace person at the top of the steps disappear in a flash, and go straight to the Chongzheng Palace.

Get off the carriage, look at the steps in front without squinting, the flag is in the wind, the big "Shu" flag dances in the wind, the majestic Chongzheng Hall is close in front of you, standing under the steps and looking up at the time she is extraordinarily small, when she is out of her mind, a eunuch in a dark palace uniform suddenly came over in front, holding the dust, the eunuch who is more than half a hundred years old leaned over and bent over Chaoxi and Shang Jue, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Her Royal Highness the Princess, the king is waiting for the two of you in front, please come with the villain......"

He didn't move day and night, but his eyes swept to the old eunuch, and the eunuch immediately noticed it, and raised his eyelids to look

Immediately noticed, his eyelids raised and glanced at the morning and evening, the old eunuch pulled his lips, and bent down humbly, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess, I wonder if Her Royal Highness the Princess still remembers Wang Qing?"

Wang Qing, the great eunuch of the Shu Palace, the eunuch most relied on by the King of Shu!

How could Chaoxi not remember?!

Squinting his eyes, he nodded to Wang Qing.

Wang Qing pulled his lips again and raised his hand to please, "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess, please-"

Shang Jue's chin was slightly raised, and he looked at the unpredictable Chaoxi and smiled, "Xixi, this time I will return, there must be many old people to see, I will accompany you to see them one by one, now, let's go to see your father." ”

Coming back to his senses in the morning and evening, he glanced at Shang Jue before walking forward, Shang Jue followed closely and walked side by side with him, provoking Wang Qing, who was following behind, took a special look at the two of them, and after taking a few steps, Wang Qing looked back at the man standing by the carriage, frowned and smiled slightly, "General Lin, you also want to return to the king, please come here, please......"

The man next to the carriage nodded, and then followed!

Climbing the stairs, the day and night are not fast, and every step is very stable!

Every step she takes, she has to silently recite the name of a person in her heart, she steps on the names of these people to return to the power center of Shu, the stone steps are clear and jade, but there is a faint terrifying blood, the wind is cold, blowing the back of the day and night, she subconsciously straightened up, and looked at the brightly lit temple door with deep eyes.

Walking up the last step, the Chongzheng Hall is close in front of you, the guards in front of the palace are majestic on both sides, the whole palace is lit up with bright lights, look at the past from a distance, the hall is crowded, it seems that there are a lot of people present, yes, the day and night may not be important, but Shang Jue's position is here, the King of Shu will definitely not ignore it, there will be clan relatives and courtiers waiting in the palace!

After a slight pause at his feet, Wang Qing had already trotted up from behind, walked to Shang Jue's side and whispered, "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess, the king has been leading the courtiers to wait here since the afternoon, but the two of them have finally arrived, the King of Shu and the courtiers have long known the name of His Royal Highness the Prince, and they are looking forward to meeting you!"

Shang Jue listened calmly, "Such a late night visit, the sincerity of the King of Shu has already understood. ”

At this moment, the night is dark, and Chaoxi and Shang Jue don't have to rush back to Baling overnight, but the King of Shu obviously doesn't think so, Chaoxi and Shang Jue came all the way to the hidden tracks, and they were stopped by the Shenji Camp just after arriving in the suburbs, which shows that the King of Shu has already made arrangements, and the King of Shu is so eager to see Chaoxi and Shang Jue, does he believe his sincerity to the marriage of Yanshu or has other plans? !

Wang Qing was very happy to hear Shang Jue's words, and his attitude towards Shang Jue was even more humble, and the main hall had obviously received the news that the morning and evening and Shang Jue had arrived, and the originally faint crowd suddenly gave way, and a touch of purple crown at the end of the hall flashed, and someone walked out of the hall with a group of courtiers!

Wang Qing stood beside Shang Jue and whispered, "The king welcomes His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess......"

Chaoxi and Shang Jue's steps were in unison, and when he raised his eyes, sure enough, Feng Qin, the king of Shu who was dressed in a purple crown and wearing a crown, had already walked out of the gate of the Chongzheng Palace, surrounded by courtiers around him, and followed by many servants and palace attendants.

The King of Shu greeted him on the throne in person, which was really an honor for her, but she knew that this honor was by no means for her.

Squinted his eyes, and looked at Feng Qin's face fixedly, the lights were dazzling, and the crown on Feng Qin's head swayed and flashed with brilliant brilliance, and he used great strength to make a lot of effort, but he still couldn't see the expression on Feng Qin's face clearly, only the eyes that were half-hidden by the crown Yu were still as warm as thirteen years ago.

The father and daughter wanted to see each other for thirteen years, but the soles of their feet were cold...... In a daze, her hand was grasped, and she slowly turned her head in the morning, and saw Shang Jue bending her lips at her, and said softly, "Don't be afraid." ”
