On the second day, the catkins at the gate of the palace refused to get on the sedan chair, and only after sitting firmly on horseback did they let the kneeling courtiers get up, hold their heads high, and start to inspect the activities with their heads held high. Zhou Yiyun had been wandering around the household in a restless manner, and Lao Qi rubbed the corners of his forehead: "His Royal Highness the Prince, your ministers are dizzy." ”

"Seventh brother, nothing will happen!"

Lao Qi turned the page of the booklet, and said without raising his eyes: "Why don't you follow if you're worried?" ”

"Alas" Zhou Yiyun stopped turning in circles, sat upright and forced himself to calm down: "Liu Wu didn't let our father and son follow, he said that he would be distracted to take care of us, do you say that the people will cause a commotion and □□ when they see him becoming the crown princess?" ”

Zhou Yiyun's worries were obviously superfluous, Liu Wu didn't regard this matter as a difficult thing at all, he had already thought about it, he had the kung fu to avoid projectiles, what else was he afraid of, riding a high-headed horse, followed by a civil and military attache who had his majesty, looking at the roadside people who were kneeling and worshipping, dismounted and took the initiative to get close to the people, Liu Wu sent down the guards to maintain law and order, helped up an old woman and waved his hand: "Let's get up, it's just that ordinary inspections don't need to be polite." ”

"Eleventh Princess, you are too powerful to be the crown princess......"

"You are the first brother to be the crown princess, and I am proud of you......"

"Crown Princess, this is my little son who let him take a look at you, and he will also be blessed."

"This is my family's ......" "My family's ......"

The catkins have been smiling, and they are always smiling, so that they can hold the baby, left and right, occasionally say some daily health care, and dust some water on the ground to keep it moist is good for the human body...... Walking to a relatively remote place, I was warned that keeping it clean was too dirty and messy, which could easily cause diseases...... Walked to the downtown area, saw the ten brother restaurant "Ruyi Xian" from a distance, thought about it and walked in, this is a ** advertisement, Liu Wu took Shi Jia two dishes and a soup meal, the civil and military attache angrily "pointed" at the outside station, just looking forward to the end of this inspection soon, wiped the corners of his mouth Liu Wu shouted: "Checkout" and paid five taels of silver, smiled out of the restaurant This can be said not to compete with the people, before returning to the palace in the afternoon, Liu Wu summed up in front of the civil and military officials and the people: "If the officials are not sloppy, the people are not tricky." After bursts of applause, it ended perfectly, no matter whether these people value his blessing or ability, as long as they can afford him, there is nothing else to ask for.

Looking at the frightened family members in the palace, they raised their eyebrows and gave a thumbs up, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Bubu and Xiaoxiao ran forward with a loving hug, Liu Fu patted their little heads, drank tea and recuperated and asked: "Ruyan, you know these rules better than me, tell me what else to do in the future?" ”

"If you go back to the crown princess, according to etiquette, you should go to see the queen, she gave you the crown prince's seal, you also have to summon the princesses of various provinces, and there will be people in the palace who teach etiquette to the palace to teach some etiquette."

"The father and the emperor have made an order, and the queen mother's illness is about to be cured, right?"

Ruyan didn't answer, just nodded with a smile.

*

Liu Wu shook his legs and summarized his life since entering the palace, Zhou Yiyun went out early and returned late to be busy with the affairs of the court and the household, Bao Bao went to school in the morning and followed his father to learn from the experience in the afternoon, Bubu and Xiaoxiao in addition to going to school to contact the fourth and ninth children, it seems that they are also very busy, only they are bored and have nothing to do.

Hearing a series of hurried and panicked footsteps, Liu Fu frowned and looked at the maid ring in his eyes: "Why are you panicking like this?" ”

"Crown Princess, go and take a look, the little master fell into the lotus pond, and now he is being treated in the Tai Hospital."

Liu Fu sighed in his heart, and ran out, he has always been afraid of the lotus pond, and he has never forgotten the place where the original owner died, the surface is picturesque, pure and unclean, in his heart there is a representative of death, is it now his son's turn?

It wasn't until I saw the two children holding hands and comforting each other on the soft collapse that Liu Wu's heart was relieved.

"Daddy, the second brother is injured." Xiaoxiao jumped out of bed when she saw the catkins, and the strong little doll hugged the catkins and cried at the moment, blaming herself for not protecting her brother.

Liu Wu hugged the crying smile, panting and sitting on the soft side, among the three sons, Bubu is the most calm and smart, and the son who has always loved and cared for him was injured under his nose, the wet clothes have been changed and the gauze around his neck is wrapped, and the miserable little face looks at Liu Wu, which makes his heart ache for a while, and Bubu squeaks his small teeth: "Daddy, I don't hurt, my brother is making a fuss." ”

Liu Wu beckoned the imperial doctor standing aside and asked, "Is the injury serious?" ”

"Back to the crown princess, according to what the slave saw, the little master's neck should be a strangulation of the rope, because there is a drowning fear of typhoid fever, the old slave has prepared a decoction and waited for the little master to wake up and take it."

"Xu'er," "Daddy," Zhou Yiyun and Baobao, who got the news, ran into the inner hall, first looked Xiaoxiao up and down, pinched his arms and legs, lifted his clothes and took off his pants to check the injury, Xiaoxiao's little face was flushed, and he pulled his pants tightly to protect the last territory, Bubu looked at his younger brother's embarrassed appearance, and laughed, and when he found that his father and eldest brother were running towards him, he hurriedly hid in Liu Wu's arms and begged for mercy: "I'm fine, the imperial doctor has seen that it's okay." ”

The bag touched the gauze: "The bag is so thick and it is okay?" ”

"How can this be reasonable, why did those guards eat and let my sister-in-law get injured?" Bao Bao stopped Zhou Yiyun, who was about to go out, and persuaded: "Father, let's understand the reason for the matter first and then make a decision." ”

"Listen to the bag, you don't make a mess." Liu Wu stepped forward and pulled Zhou Yiyun's paws and dragged them to the side of the bed, glaring at him by the way: "Who is not distressed when his son is injured, you have to listen to what they say, you are □□ stable as a prince?" Automatically come to the door to find a handle, and the second and third children tell their father what is going on. ”

"It's my fault," Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip and lowered her little head: "It's the lotus pond I took my second brother to." ”

"Don't blame my brother......"

"Bubu shut up and let him speak,"

Xiaoxiao looked at Liu Fu's serious face, and knew that he must be corporal punishment today, and then glanced at the second brother who was affected by him, and talked about what happened today.

"Xiaoxiao, where are you pulling me to, and someone from the Sibo faction will come to pick me up in a while." As soon as the little brothers finished lunch after school, Xiaoxiao mysteriously told him to go to a fun place.

Xiaoxiao stopped and glanced left and right, leaned on his brother's shoulder and whispered, "Second brother, that person has appeared again." ”

"Who?"

"Well, it's the one who looks exactly like me."

Bubu hurriedly covered his mouth and said angrily: "Didn't I tell you, your appearance will not be another person with your father, why did you mention it again?" It's just a matter of talking about it in the eleventh mansion, this is the palace that lets others know that you will say that you are bewitching. ”

"How did I know he was coming?" Smiled and pouted, Daddy said that good children would share it, and he told his second brother the secret that he still didn't believe it.

Bubu frowned, "How did you know he was coming?" Thinking of a possibility, he hated iron and pointed at his younger brother's head: "How many times has Daddy said that we are not allowed to approach the lotus pond, and you ran there to play again, didn't you?" Those guards don't stop you, it's really unusual. ”

Xiaoxiao tilted his head: "The guards in the palace are stupid, and they are not as clever as the guards sent by my great-grandfather outside the palace." ”

"You...... Alas" Bubu had no choice but to persuade this stubborn younger brother: "Daddy is for our good, if you are disobedient, I will tell Daddy and let him punish you." ”

"Got it, got it," Xiaoxiao shook his hand impatiently, and discussed with his brother again: "Second brother, what I said is true, he's still dancing, why don't you believe me, I'm your own brother." ”

"There are guards around there, can you see them and can't see them?" Bubu still didn't believe that even if the accompanying guards were negligent, but there were officers and soldiers guarding all over the palace, how could he let him take advantage of the loophole, and it happened to be seen by him alone?

"Second brother, you underestimate me too much, I have explored the place and understood, there are not many people guarding the small pavilion on the lotus pond, usually those concubines and concubines are bored there to see the scenery, and you can see clearly by hiding behind the rockery next to you," looked up at the sun, and urged eagerly: "The time is just right, second brother ......"

The time and place were arranged, and Bubu compromised: "Only this time, don't mention it again in the future." ”

"Yes!" Xiaoxiao immediately gave a military salute, and then said to the entourage behind him: "Don't follow, our brother has personal affairs to do." Pulling up Bubu to bypass the crowd and walk towards the rockery, Bubu saw that he was skillful, and glared at him again, and it was not only one or two times at a glance, but practice makes perfect.

"Second brother, look at this good place, it's facing the pool, and it's hidden, and people passing by can't see us if they don't look closely."

There are fake stones all around, it is really a hiding place, Bu Bu squinted and lay on his back to enjoy the warm projection of the sun, listening to the sound of flowing water and smelling the light fragrance of flowers and was drowsy, Xiaoxiao stared at the pool with wide eyes and concentrated concentration, he wanted to prove to his brother that the strange scene really existed, at this time they didn't notice the figure that was gradually approaching, Bu Bu slept halfway through, suddenly his body shook violently, turned his head and saw the figure slowly approaching Xiaoxiao, and shouted: "Xiaoxiao, be careful!" ”

As soon as he got up and was about to pounce, he was stopped by someone else, and when he heard the scream, he rolled to the side and called for help: "Someone, there is an assassin!" AND SHOT THE WRIST CROSSBOW JIAN, THE PERSON SNORTED AND TOOK A STEP BACK, SMILED AND CLENCHED HIS SMALL FIST TO ATTACK HIS FACE, BUT THE PERSON WAS TOO SMALL AND LACKED STRENGTH, AND HE COULDN'T HURT PEOPLE, AND HE TURNED HIS STRATEGY WHEN HE SAW THAT HE COULDN'T TAKE A FEW STEPS BACK, AND SHOT CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL □□ OPPONENT COULDN'T DODGE AND FELL TO THE GROUND.

And the other end of the cloth is still tearing with another person, the crossbow on the wrist has already been knocked to the ground, the other party grabbed the red rope around his neck, and was about to tear it off, laughing and shouting The short sword in his hand slashed the other party's arm, Bubu took advantage of the slack to grab his brother's hand, and wanted to run to many people, Xiaoxiao is a hand to retreat the entourage, and here is remote and shouting that did not attract the rescuer, Bubu only thought about running, but the other party did not give up, grabbed the target red rope and pulled it back, he was strangled by the neck and could not breathe, Xiaoxiao, who was kicked, struggled with a lot of effort, seeing his brother's painful appearance, no matter what else pounced on him, he was biting and kicking, the enemy with Bubu's back could not aim at the target, and he was afraid of hurting Xiaoxiao, so he had to take the initiative to lean back into the other party, dragged the red rope with his left hand, stretched out his right hand to the purse, took out a short sword and put it close to his waist, and stabbed hard, there was no pressure on his neck to pull his brother again, and he didn't turn back and ran out of the rockery and shouted for help, just as the patrol guards walked nearby and heard the sound and hurriedly ran over, Bubu turned his head to look at the assassin who was chasing, Pulling Xiaoxiao and jumping into the lotus pond, the other party still wanted to chase but couldn't do anything, jumped into the pool and ended himself with serious injuries, and Bubu and Xiaoxiao, who were rescued on the other side, were sent to the hospital by everyone.

Zhou Yiyun frowned after hearing this, flicked the gauze around Bubu's neck, and pulled out the jade pendant tied with red rope: "Su'er, what do you think ......?"

"Father," Bubu held Zhou Yiyun's hand and said excitedly what he thought in his heart: "My son thinks that they are not people, but things, I know that this jade pendant is a treasure, look at this string is very strong, I must be afraid that this jade will be lost, right?" ”

Liu Fu's train of thought did not follow the father and son, he grabbed Xiaoxiao and was furious: "What exactly the same person? ”

Xiaoxiao looked at his father with sharp eyes and cold words in front of him, and choked up: "Xiaoxiao didn't protect my brother well, and you are also angry." After saying that, the magic sound that had not been seen for several years reappeared, and he began to howl with his mouth open, tears flowing.

"What are you doing, Xiaoxiao is not intentional."

"Daddy, you scared the third brother."

Liu Wu ignored Zhou Yiyun and Baobao's pleas, and continued to lecture: "It's too unusual, how many times have I told you, why don't you listen?" Liu Wu didn't understand, Xiaoxiao from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty back to Beijing after a little obsession with the lotus pond in the eleventh house, like lotus flowers like to play by the pool, this is exactly what Liu Wu is worried about, admonished a few times to change to corporal punishment, finally let him put away his careful thoughts, into the palace old illness again, the first time I want to go to fry fish, this time...... Liu Wu hugged the crying smile and softened her voice: "Don't cry, tell Daddy about the person you said, okay?" When have you seen him? ”

Xiaoxiao pouted his tears and looked at the gentleness of the catkins, and sniffed and replied: "When Daddy was injured and fell asleep, I saw the same person as Daddy by the lotus pond, and he kept walking around there. ”

Liu Wu was shocked: "What happened later? ”

"Then I called Daddy, and he was gone."

"When was the last time that last?"

"My father became the crown princess a few months ago, and I ...... after school Passing by was passing by the lotus pond and saw the man dancing......"

"Nonsense," Zhou Yiyun glared angrily and smiled: "You are not allowed to say this again in the future." ”

Xiaoxiao was not convinced, and stalked his neck: "I didn't say it's true!" ”

"You...... Look at your dad sitting here now, you're cursing him, you know? ”

Liu Fu calmed down and calmed the father and son: "Daddy believes in Xiaoxiao, this is called a mirage, Xiaoxiao is worried or happy is to see something that does not actually exist, right?" ”
