The middle-aged man waited with his hands down, looking at his nose and nose, and did not dare to answer until Emperor Yuanfeng raised his hand, and then bowed and retreated.

Feng Ying, the chief attendant outside the hall, paid attention to the movement in the hall, sighed, retracted his thoughts, and beckoned to the small attendant on the side. The little chamberlain was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words.

Feng Ying frowned, muttered for a moment, Fang shook his head helplessly, took the tea tray in the hand of the waiter, and entered the hall, while pouring tea for Emperor Yuanfeng, he bowed and replied: "Holy Lord, the four princes are asking to see you outside the palace." ”

Emperor Yuanfeng's face was gloomy, and he didn't raise his eyelids, as if he hadn't heard Feng Ying's reply at all.

Feng Ying cautiously looked at Emperor Yuanfeng's face, withdrew with the tea tray, went outside the hall and handed the tea tray to the little chamberlain, personally went out of the palace gate, greeted the four princes at the door, bowed, lowered his voice, and persuaded with a smile: "The saint is not empty at this time, the fourth master should go back first." ”

The fourth prince politely thanked Feng Ying, glanced at the Chengqian Palace, and had to leave in a huff.

As soon as he got out of the palace gate, he got into the carriage at the gate, the curtain of the car was lowered, and the face of the four princes sank, and he returned to the house with a gloomy face all the way, and before he got off the car, he listened to the little girl outside and replied cautiously: "Master, the Marquis of Chongning has been waiting outside for more than half an hour......

The fourth prince frowned and listened to the little girl's reply, stepped down from the carriage, and looked coldly at Zhou Guangye, the Marquis of Chongning, who was standing aside with a smile and a nod. "Master can't be free today, if there is anything, you can make a long story short."

Zhou Guangye hurriedly nodded and agreed, looked around, hesitated and excitedly asked: "Fourth master, don't worry, it's a big thing, a good thing!" You see, this thing...... Why don't you go to the house and talk about it? ”

The fourth prince stared at Zhou Guangye, who was full of excitement, snorted with a stiff face, raised his feet and walked towards the mansion. Zhou Guangye followed the four princes step by step, all the way into the study, and then replied in a suppressed voice: "Fourth master, I just got the news, the old man of the Shen family still left a box back then, and he has been putting it at the master's place, and the eyeliner in the temple came to report early this morning, saying that the master gave the box to the little girl of the Lu family yesterday." ”

"Something has been sitting with the master for so many years, can others not know?" The fourth prince held his forehead and sighed, suppressing the anger in his stomach, and reprimanded impatiently, "I know about this, don't interfere!" ”

"Fourth master, that thing...... It's too late! Zhou Guangye's face turned red when he was reprimanded by the four princes, he glanced at the four princes in a sneering manner, and hurriedly explained with a smile, "Fourth master, the Shen family's family business was so big back then, not only us, but also those masters!" If someone preempts him, the fourth master will be disadvantaged! ”

"Do you still know how to plan for your grandfather?" The fourth prince laughed angrily, raised his hand and pointed at Zhou Guangye, and scolded angrily, "If you had listened to the master earlier, why did you even lose the position of the secretary of the military department?" Tell me yourself, how much did the master bear for you? Yes? You don't know how to use your brain? ”

"The fourth master has learned a lesson! It's the old minister's, isn't it! Zhou Guangye's old face turned red, his body bowed lower, and he confessed his mistakes one after another, "The old minister deserves to die, and he can't share the ......worries of the fourth master."

"That's it!" The fourth prince frowned and interrupted Zhou Guangye's words irritably, "It's good that you understand these things in your own heart, and I don't want to talk about you more." The affairs of the Shen family make people keep an eye on it, without the master's orders, none of the people of the Lu family can move! Hear me clearly? ”

"Hear me clearly!" Zhou Guangye nodded busily and agreed, "Without the orders of the fourth master, the old minister must not move!" Listen to the instructions of the fourth master. ”

******

Chen Ping was staring at the matter of the box, and there were guards watching outside, Lu Wan felt a little more confident in her heart, and calmly discussed with Zheng Xinghe and Gu Sanyuan to draw up a charter for the matter of the Wudi sea ship, and took a token from her father and handed it to Gu Sanyuan, asking him to bring it to Ding Qianwang, and be sure to recruit all the shipwrights who went to sea before May.

Gu Sanyuan received 100,000 taels of silver from Lu Zhi's hand, his eyes were red for a while, and he didn't say much, only nodded again and again, and solemnly assured Lu Wan: "Don't worry, girl! This trip out, I will definitely be full of liver and brains, and I dare not have a negative trust! ”

Lu Wan accepted Gu Sanyuan's salute with a smile, sent the two out, thought about it, and was about to ask Chen Ping about the box placed in the courtyard at the foot of Kaiyuan Temple, but saw Lu Zhi rushing in in a hurry, and replied with a pale face: "Master-girl, the master has passed away!" ”

Lu Wan's heart was shocked, the smile on her face stopped abruptly, and she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, she only felt that her mind was buzzing, and it took a long time to come to her senses, stabilize her mind, and stare at the green branch and ask, "Who spread the news?" ”

"Master Guangji of Kaiyuan Temple personally came to pass on the words, just outside to the master!" Green Zhi hurriedly agreed, his face was blank and shocked, obviously he was not lightly shocked, and he even spoke a little unsteadily.

"Let people prepare the car! Go to Kaiyuan Temple! Lu Wan took a breath lightly, the fingers in her sleeves were clenched and released, she nodded at the green branch, turned around and walked into the house, took the cloak and came out, hurriedly ran out of the courtyard, took two steps, and stopped, as if she had lost her direction, looked back at the people in the courtyard blankly, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, leaning against the courtyard gate weakly and tiredly, slowly exhaling, raising her feet and walking out.

The old monk left too suddenly, he hid too many secrets, and she didn't ask anything clearly! Grandpa's business, her own business...... All the qiē will fall silent with the death of the old monk! No one knows where she came from, and no one can solve the doubts in her heart. She had lived peacefully for seven years at this time, and she had planned to live so freely, but the old monk's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing countless ripples in her heart, so that she had to start guarding.

No one knows how my grandfather died, let alone where my grandfather was buried. The only thing the world knows is that my grandfather left a suicide note and then disappeared...... If her grandfather's background is really the same as hers, then did he die of a natural disaster or **? Or did you go to another world? Only the old monk could answer these questions for her, but now even the old monk is gone......

Lu Wan got into the carriage at the second gate in a trance, his mind was messy, and he suddenly remembered what the old monk said to him a few days ago, he said let the box go into the ground with him? Did the old monk have a premonition and knew that his destiny had arrived?

What else did he say? Lu Wan finally figured out some clues from the thousands of clues, closed her eyes and carefully recalled what Shanwu had said at that time - in addition to the box, the old monk also hinted to her that the Wei family was a good place to go. She remembered that her father had said that her grandfather had also taken a fancy to Wei Ji back then......

Behind the carriage, Chen Ping was hidden in the dark, looking at Lu Wan who was obviously a little wrong, worriedly, wrinkled his brows and thought about it, and gestured silently to the figure not far away.

Chen Ping let out a long sigh, secretly followed, and paused slightly when he arrived at the mouth of the alley, and the afterglow swept over the figure that flashed at the mouth of the alley, and snorted with disdain, such a fool, dare to follow the girl? It's a waste of effort to deal with these idiots!

Lu Wan's carriage went all the way to the halfway point of the Kaiyuan Temple, and before he got off the car, he saw the cold figure at the foot of the mountain from a distance. Yumo looked at the guard in front of him in surprise, turned around hurriedly, and whispered to Lu Wan, who was calming down with his eyes closed: "Girl, the prince is ahead." ”

Lu Wan opened her eyes, lifted the curtain, and looked at Wei Jie's figure getting closer and closer, looking at each other, she could clearly see the worry and impatience in Wei Jie's eyes, and her originally troubled and uneasy mood suddenly calmed down, nodded at Yumo, walked down from the carriage, looked at Wei Jie's naturally outstretched hand, hesitated for a moment, put her right hand up, and was gently taken by Wei Jie, and the whole person floated down from the rut and landed firmly in front of Wei Jie.

Yumo blinked a few times, looked at this scene in surprise and relief, glanced at each other, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

Lu Wan stood firm, twitched the hand held in the palm of Wei Jie's hand, did not twitch, looked at Wei Jian a little helplessly, but there was not much anger in his heart, his fingers poked Wei Jie's chest, and asked wiltingly, "Why are you here?" ”
