"See hoarfrost? I still don't see him. Ji Cheng stopped and looked back in the direction of the carriage.

Donglin was still sitting in the carriage, and the sound of her throwing things and smashing the carriage came clearly.

Ji Cheng stared at the carriage for a long time and sighed, then turned his head to the guard and said, "Su Yunsheng should still be waiting for the queen mother's carriage outside the palace, you go to the imperial study, and tell Bai Shuang to let him go out of the palace directly to find Su Yunsheng, just say that this is the joint will of me and the queen mother, let Su Yunsheng fully cooperate with Bai Shuang's actions." Ji Cheng paused, and then said: "Although the Empress Dowager is not my biological mother, she has also saved me several times, if she really wants that notebook, I will get it for her." ”

"Yes." The guard nodded and bowed, then turned and hurried towards the imperial study.

Xin border, hotel.

As soon as it was dawn, a carriage quietly drove into the backyard of the hotel.

"The carriage is coming, it's time for us to go." Jiang Lan stood by the window on the second floor, watching the carriage slowly stop, he turned to look at Chu Heng: "Out of this door, the sky is high and the sea is wide and we will go." ”

"Your Majesty......" Chu Heng was looking at the carriage downstairs and wondering, as soon as he heard Jiang Lan's words, the cold sweat on his back came down: "You are not familiar with preparing to leave, right?" ”

"It's best to go now." Jiang Lan's face was serious, and his eyes were rarely serious: "Heng'er, once we step into the territory of the Xin clan, endless troubles will follow, and it will be more difficult for you and me to leave this quagmire than to ascend to the sky." ”

"Is it hard that you're really going to just leave?" Chu Heng's eyes were full of worry.

"It's not me who left, it's us." Jiang Lan stretched out his hand and grabbed Chu Heng's waist. Reaching out and tapping the tip of her nose, "Nianda will take care of everything, no one knows where we went." ”

"Haru and Fubai won't let us go." Chu Heng sighed and held Jiang Lan's hand with his backhand: "Your Majesty." We are already in the quagmire, and it is useless to run. ”

"Heng'er." A look of surprise flashed in Jiang Lan's eyes: "Didn't you promise me to die with me?" Do you want to change your mind at this time? ”

"I did say that I wanted to die with the emperor, but I don't want to ......die yet," Chu Heng's face turned pale, she looked at Jiang Lan's face and said word by word: "I do want to accompany you out of here, but this can only be done after we have perfectly handled this matter of Haru." We now have such a formidable enemy as Himeshiro, and I can't risk making Fubai and Haru our enemies as well. Or worse, turn the entire Xin tribe into our enemy. ”

"You say that Himeshiro is our enemy, I admit it. But how can Haru and Fubai be considered enemies? ”

"Your Majesty, anyone in this world, as long as he is driven by interests, can become an enemy."

"Heng'er." Jiang Lan's brows stretched slightly. His face showed a hint of distress: "You really don't have to think about it so much. It's not as complicated as you think. Don't worry, I've arranged everything, and now that you and I are out of here, no one will be able to find you and me again. ”

"Not as complicated as I thought?" Chu Heng laughed angrily, her brows furrowed, and her tone became impatient: "Let's go out of this door today, whether we can survive past noon is especially known, and you still say that no one can find you and me again?" If you really do things with such certainty. How could there be no power to fight back when the palace changed? ”

"Heng'er......" Jiang Lan's face sank, he didn't understand why Chu Heng suddenly became so suspicious: "I know." You have doubts about my ability to hold the imperial power, but you can see that we fled all the way from the capital to the Xin tribe, and Ji Cheng did not catch us when he cast a net from heaven and earth, maybe this can make you believe in my ability to hide......"

Chu Heng's brows furrowed even tighter when she heard this, and her eyes looked at Jiang Lan with helplessness and sadness: "Your Majesty, I have to say that the Queen Mother has protected you too well." ”

"What do you mean by that?" No matter how good Jiang Lan's temper was, he became impatient, and he looked at Chu Heng's face with a blue face: "You don't believe me? ”

"Do you think we're safe all the way because of Nianda and those useless secret guards under Nianda?" Chu Heng took a step forward and looked at Jiang Lan with burning eyes: "Don't you know that every time you arrive in a new place, when you, I, and Fubai are resting, what does Halu go out to do?" ”

Jiang Lan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and there was a trace of doubt in her eyes. Haru? He's just going to see some old friends and drink a lot of wine......

"Even if you don't know, Nianda shouldn't be unaware, I don't know why he still instigated you to take me out of here......" Chu Heng took a deep breath and reached out to pat the back of Jiang Lan's hand: "The strength of your subordinates is not as good as before, even before the Jicheng Palace Revolution was not successful, when you were still the emperor, you would not have the ability to escape Jicheng's sight all the way from the capital to the Xin clan, but now you have done it, don't you think it's strange?" ”

"You're saying it's all because of Haru?" Jiang Lan's brows tightened: "But Haru is just an unfavored prince, how can he have the ability to do this?" ”

"Never overestimate your own abilities, and never underestimate the abilities of others." Chu Heng took a step towards the window, stretched out his hand to push open the window, and looked at the carriage in the courtyard: "As long as you step out of the house today and get into that carriage, your friend Haru will become your enemy." Maybe when we were in the capital, we weren't afraid of an enemy like Haru, but not here, because once we crossed that mountain, we would be the Xin tribe. The Xin people, you and me, can be a quagmire or a tiger's den, or a harbor to temporarily avoid the limelight. Chu Heng paused, then turned his head to look at Jiang Lan: "Or, it is the place where you and I are buried, it depends on how you choose." ”

"Heng'er......" The light in Jiang Lan's eyes fell completely silent, he lowered his head and lowered his eyes for a while before nodding slightly: "Then we won't leave." ”

"Okay." Chu Heng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and showed a smile.

Jiang Lan turned around and sat on the chair, his face was very strange, he first looked up at Chu Heng for a while, and then hesitated and said, "Can you go downstairs and call Nianda in the carriage?" I want to talk to him. ”

"Absolutely." Chu Heng responded, turned around and went out. The moment the door was closed. Chu Heng's face sank again. Jiang Lan's last words made Chu Heng feel uncomfortable, and his tone was distant and pleading. This is not the tone Jiang Lan should have for herself.

Meanwhile, in Haru's house, Fub was busy packing up.

"I heard that the Xin people wear animal skin clothes on weekdays, this hot day, we should buy some silk cloth in the town and bring it to the Xin people, it is easy to wear on weekdays, and I don't know when I will come back next time......" Fubai said to Haru while packing up his things.

"You don't have to buy any silk cloth." Haru raised an eyebrow. wanted to refute Fu Bai's statement that the Xin people were not all wearing animal skins, but when the words came to his mouth, he remembered the broken clothes of those people at the bottom of the Xin tribe, so he changed the words: "You have just joined the Xin tribe." It's better to keep a low profile, follow the local customs, and you can wear whatever others wear. ”

Fu Bai nodded when he heard this: "It makes sense, it's better to keep a low profile." ”

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Haru got up and opened the door. The innkeeper was standing at the door with a basin of hot water.

"It's the water that gets up in the morning to boil and wash the faces of the guests."

"Let's move in."

The proprietress trembled when she heard this, and after putting down the hot water, she turned around and walked outside.

"Wait." Fubai put down the clothes in her hand and looked up at the proprietress: "Who called that carriage in the backyard?" ”

A flash of surprise flashed in the proprietress eyes: "Isn't that what you called?" After a pause, she saw that Fubai and Haru didn't speak, and the puzzle in her eyes became even more obvious: "I thought you were leaving today, didn't you?" You're the only guest in this inn. ”

"Maybe my sister hired me." The corners of Fubai's mouth curled slightly, and she looked at the proprietress with a smile: "We are indeed leaving today." You don't have to prepare lunch. ”

The proprietress stepped back when she heard this, and the door closed. The smile on Fubai's face disappeared instantly, and she walked to the window to look out into the backyard. In the shade of the poplar trees in the courtyard, the carriage stopped quietly, and the sound of footsteps was heard as if it were leaving. Fubai frowned, pushed the window wider, and poked her head out to look.

Chu Heng walked down from the stone road, pulled the curtain, called Nian Da out of the car, and the two of them stood by the car and whispered a few words, then turned around and went upstairs together.

"It's strange...... Fleur turned to look at Haru, "Isn't this job for you to hire a car?" ”

Haru didn't speak, just looked down and didn't know what he was thinking.

"What are you thinking?" Fubai turned and walked to Haru's side, and lowered her body to look at Haru's face, "Why are you worried?" ”

Haru shook his head: "Hurry up and pack your things, and we'll leave at noon." With that, Haru stood up, walked out the door, and went straight to the first floor for breakfast.

Fubai stayed alone in the room, she turned back to the window again, and stared at the carriage carefully: "Could it be that Chu Heng and the emperor don't want to go to the Xin clan?" ”

The morning was peaceful, and Nianda quickly drove the carriage away from the inn, and no one in the inn mentioned anything about the carriage, nor asked about it, and at noon Haru's men drove two carriages to the inn.

A group of five people was ready to go, crossed the mountain in front, and arrived at the territory of the Xin nationality in the evening.

"You're a smart guy."

In the carriage, Halu sat opposite Chu Heng, his blue eyes were as calm as a deep pool, and he looked at Chu Heng quietly, as if everything could not be hidden from his eyes.

Chu Heng looked at Halu without saying a word, and there was an awkward silence between the two.

When the carriage came at noon today, Haru let Jiang Lan and Fu Bai get into a carriage, and he himself actually got into Chu Heng's car.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Haru leaned forward, his eyes staring straight at Chu Heng.

"With all due respect, I really don't have anything to say to you." Chu Heng's back straightened, his chin raised slightly, and he looked at Halu's burning spirit: "I should only ask you to wish you a helping hand on your way to power, but I have no obligation to report to you in every detail, remember your identity, you are not my master, and we are just a mutually beneficial relationship." ”

"A mutually beneficial relationship...... "A sneer on the corner of Haru's mouth when he heard this, "This relationship sounds too fragile, as if you swore that you would turn your back on me at any time." ”

"You're overthinking." Chu Heng looked sideways out of the window, the car was acting at the moment on the mountain path, there were tall cedar trees on both sides of the road, lush and strong, looking at these trees, Chu Heng's mood calmed down a lot, and his tone eased: "The emperor and I are not familiar with the Xin people, and the only one who can rely on you is you." ”

"But what if you are ripe?" Haru is aggressive.

"Haru!" Chu Heng took a deep breath and turned his head sharply to stare at Halu's eyes: "If you keep doubting me like this, why don't you let me get out of the car now, and I'll go back to the capital." ”

Haru leaned back and shut his mouth.

"Put away your suspicions, it's not good for you or for me." Chu Heng's tone slowed down a lot, she looked at Haru's eyes and said seductively: "We still have many enemies, and it is really inappropriate to be in the nest now." ”

Haru nodded, and he suddenly lifted the curtain of his car and looked at the carriage in front of him with burning eyes. In the carriage sat Fubai and Jiang Lan: "Perhaps, you want Jiang Lan to come back?" ”

"It's best that way." Chu Heng pulled out a smile at the corner of his mouth: "To be honest, it's really unpleasant to be in the same car with you." ”

"Indeed, of course, you believe in your emperor and the palace maid named Fubai more than me." Haru's eyes were a little strange, and he turned his head to look directly at Chu Heng: "How much do you know about Fubai?" ”

Chu Heng raised his eyebrows: "Why did you suddenly ask this?" ”

"I lost a bracelet with the royal mark of the Xin people, someone stole my bracelet and sent it to the capital. Along with the bracelet, there is also a silk handkerchief with the word carbon written on it. Haru's eyes narrowed, and there was a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth: "I think there must be something interesting written on that silk handkerchief." ”

"Someone sent our message to the capital?!" Chu Heng's fingernails had already buckled into her flesh, and there was surprise in her eyes: "When did this happen?" ”

"I don't know exactly when, but it's the last few days." The smile on the corner of Haru's mouth became colder and colder: "It was the brother on the post road who told me that when I got the news, the things should have arrived in the capital." ”

"Do you suspect that Fubai stole your bracelet?"

Haru shook his head: "Anyone in the inn is suspicious. ”

"But you're most suspicious of her?" Chu Heng's face turned pale, she lowered her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking, and after a while, she raised her head and glared at Halu fiercely, and her tone was not good: "Since you found out about this matter, you should have told me about it a long time ago." ”

"Didn't I tell you, I just found out?" Haru rolled his eyes: "What's more, we are about to go to the territory of the Xin tribe, and when we get to the Xin tribe, I am afraid that it will not be so convenient for you, the new emperor, to show your hands and feet." (To be continued.) )
