Late at night, a candlestick.

The sultry summer has passed, and the cool breeze at night is slightly blowing, and Ping An wants to close the window, for fear that His Royal Highness will catch a cold, but he is stopped by Gongzi Wuyi.

Lately he has been fond of the wind, and every time it blows, he remembers the girl sitting by the window with her eyes closed and feeling the breeze.

Childe closed the book without loss and stood up.

Ping An very tacitly held the lamp for His Royal Highness and went to the small courtyard where Chen Ling once lived.

The winding path is secluded, and it took a long time to walk to a courtyard, the door of the courtyard was closed, and the door was opened safely, and the son walked in without loss.

There had been no one in the courtyard for a long time, but it was still the same as when Ling Er left, and no one even dared to take off the lantern she hung casually.

Every day the yard was cleaned.

Seeing His Royal Highness enter the door, Liu Ping'an will open the window.

Childe would sit at the table and flip through the messy papers on the table, all of which were her reading opinions, or feelings.

Her writing is a little special, the brushes they use are all large, only she specially asked the craftsman to make a few small brushes, and the writing is also some small characters, but it is very beautiful.

Occasionally, she also uses a large brush, and when she writes hastily, it is when she is upset, and she is usually very silent at this time.

The chessboard on the small table is still there, and the chess pieces are also placed like that, His Highness will sit in front of the chessboard after turning the words, and the chess pieces are still the last game of chess played by the girl and His Highness before leaving, it is said that this time the girl has priority, and when she is about to win, Her Highness has something to leave.

There was a slight change in the position of the chess pieces, and it must have been the wrong position when the maid was wiping the ashes, and when His Highness sat down, he saw it at a glance and moved it to its rightful position.

As he had ever done before, he sat there and walked around, sometimes with a smile on his lips, sometimes with a pursed mouth, and he knew that His Highness had thought of the girl again.

He would make a cup of fruit tea for His Highness, and His Highness's taste became more and more delicate, sometimes His Highness was very satisfied, and he would smile, and sometimes His Highness's eyes were not warm.

In fact, His Royal Highness had a very hard time, and he saw it very clearly from the side, and it could only be said that it was providence to make people.

When leaving, Liu Ping'an blew out the candles and closed the window, and only he could see such a side of His Highness.

On weekdays, His Highness pretends to be a copper wall that will not hurt.

"Your Highness, do you want to go back to your bedroom to rest?" Liu Ping'an asked.

Childe frowned and shook his head, "Go back to the study." ”

Liu Ping'an wanted to say something, wanted to persuade His Highness to rest earlier, and Miss Ling'er was worried about staying up like this, but in the end, he didn't say a word.

When I arrived at the study, I heard a voice outside the door say, "Your Highness, Bai Yu is back and has found out the news of Gongzi Zheng and the girl." ”

Childe raised his head sharply when he heard this, suppressing his excitement, "Come in." ”

Bai Yu Fengchen walked in, knelt on one knee, bowed his head and arched his hand, "Your Highness Qiqi, I have already found out that Gongzi Zheng and Miss Ling are together, and when they arrive at the border town of Qi State, is there a doctor to treat Gongzi Zheng, and now they have left." ”

Childe frowned, how could the two of them be together? "Is the information reliable?"

"Reliable, Cheng Xin also appeared, Bai Yu saw it with his own eyes." Bai Yu replied categorically.

At the same time, Childe was a little disappointed, he didn't know that these two people had come together. Zhongsun has no loss, now you should rest assured, right? But why is it a little sad?

Bai Yu continued, "On my way back, I received news that Ran Dewei, the general of Wanzhou City, had neglected his duties and had been imprisoned by the governor. ”

Childe was silent, and his mind quickly thought of the white-haired old man, "Ran Dewei? "If he remembers correctly, this old man is an old man with a kind breeze on his sleeves, why did he also commit an accident? Did he see the wrong person? "Already in custody?"

"Yes, the evidence is conclusive at present, and we will be escorted to the capital in a few days." Bai Yu replied.

Gongzi frowned without a loss, how could it be possible, how could that old man be negligent in his duties, but he once taught his husband, and it is also a guarantee for Daqi to guard the border by him. Why was he suddenly taken into custody?

When he was a teenager, no one in the court wanted to be his husband to teach him knowledge, he had been studying with some noble children in the school, and later when he was older, when he needed to carry out special military studies, no one was willing to teach him, yes, who wanted to have something to do with a reincarnated plague god, he was very depressed at that time, it was the old general Ran Dewei who had not been sent abroad at that time who took the initiative to ask Ying to help him teach him, how could such a person who was not for fame and fortune neglect his duties? He didn't believe it.

The old man is old, and if he tosses it like this, he will go to half of his life, and he will go there himself.

Thankfully, I haven't had anything to do lately. "Ping'an, you go and prepare, prepare your horse tomorrow morning, and go to Wanzhou."

Liu Ping'an hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes." ”

His Majesty saw His Highness's pale face a while ago, so he asked His Highness to rest well and did not do any errands for His Highness. Now His Highness is going out again. In fact, he also wanted to ask, should he go to Wanzhou to find General Ran, or to find Gongzi Zheng, or to find a girl?

The second highness has no regrets that he has been released, and he has slowly recovered his rights through his previous relationship, but his highness is getting farther and farther away from the center of power, which makes his subordinate very anxious.

The second time, before dawn, the prince set off without loss, and only brought two people, Bai Yu and Liu Ping'an.

The three of them kept going, and when the horses were tired, they went to the post station to change horses, and when they were tired, they slept for an hour.

Childe's eyes were cold and indifferent. But in his heart, he laughed at his stupidity, and secretly said in his heart, Zhongsun has no loss, Zhongsun has no loss, do you want to see General Ran or do you want to see her?

When walking on the road, Gongzi heard some rumors one after another, it turned out that Gongzi Zheng was attacked on the road, so thrilling, fortunately, Chen Ling secretly followed and rescued him, and the two of them escaped from the coffin in the cemetery and fell under the cliff.

If he is here, why is Gongzi Zheng like this?

If he was there, how could Ling Er be so embarrassed?

"Your Highness, shall we take a rest?" Liu Ping'an said. He saw that His Highness's lips were too pale, he had just recovered from a serious illness, and he was not good at cultivating, and now he was running around, how could it be good to go on like this?

Childe shook his head without loss, if he ran for another half a day, he would reach the border, and he was reluctant to rest.

"Then Ping'an will go buy a carriage, and His Highness can rest in the carriage." Liu Ping'an said worriedly.

Childe shook his head again, "The carriage is a little slow, let's hurry up!" After speaking, he rode his horse and whipped his whip and went straight to the border of Daqi.

His heart is so urgent, but what is waiting for him?
