On the second day, when Emperor Qianwen returned to the imperial study after the morning court, Dongfang Du and Dongfang Lingwu were already waiting there. As soon as they saw Emperor Qianwen, the two of them both knelt down and saluted.

"Long live my father, long live, long live." The two of them lay on the ground and did not look up for a long time.

I don't know how long I will have to leave before I can come back, and maybe never again.

Emperor Qianwen knew the meaning of the two children, with endless loneliness in his eyes, stared at the two people on the ground for a long time, and after a long time, he sighed long, and stepped forward to help Dongfang Du and Dongfang Lingwu up.

Before Dongfang Lingwu could speak, he said first: "Wu'er, you are the princess of Dongqian Kingdom, your father should not have promised you to leave, but with Du'er and Yun'er by your side to protect you, I am also at ease, if you want to leave with Du'er, just leave." "What else can he do if he doesn't let go? Trapped in Ling Wu all the time? Who wouldn't want to leave this prison-like palace! If he could leave, he would want to leave!

Hearing this, Dongfang Lingwu looked at the ground guiltily and uneasily, not daring to look up at Emperor Qianwen, "Father, I'm sorry." She should think about her father, but she yearns for freedom and a life with Chu Mi. Only by leaving the palace can she be with the woman she loves, stay, and can only accept the concubine that her father chose for her and she didn't like.

Emperor Qianwen looked at Dongfang Lingwu dotingly, this is his only daughter, he doesn't love it, who else will love it, it's just that his daughter's house is his daughter's home after all, no matter how far he goes, he has to come back, and he has to get married, "Wu'er, my father asked you to leave, but there is a time limit." You have to come back before the imperial examination in August. ”

Come back, just choose one of the top players to become her colt.

What chance do you have to resist, if you don't agree now, you won't even be able to leave the palace. As long as she leaves here, even if she doesn't come back in the future, Emperor Qianwen has no choice.

"Obey the Emperor's Father." Dongfang Lingwu lowered his affection, lowered his eyes and bowed to Emperor Qianwen.

Emperor Qianwen turned his head to look at Dongfang Du, who had not spoken, and said to the two: "Wu'er, Du'er, you leave the palace this time, be careful on the road. ”

There were no more instructions, just a sentence, and let the two of them leave the imperial study.

The matter of the three princes forcing the palace was heard by everyone in the court, but the news was suppressed by Emperor Qianwen, and no one knew whether it was true or not. There must be a reason for the groundlessness, since there are such rumors, most people believe that the third prince is really stupid enough to do something to force the palace.

As the grandfather of the third prince, Prime Minister Song Cheng knew the truth of this matter. The entire early dynasty was trembling, for fear that Emperor Qianwen would order to copy their Song family. However, throughout the morning, Emperor Qianwen did not mention the matter of forcing the palace, and only said before retiring from the court: "Three days later, King Qing and King You went to the fief and built a mansion in the fief. ”

The two princes were sent to the fiefdom, and Emperor Qianwen's intention was that the civil and military officials couldn't figure it out.

The fourth prince is still a year away from the age of eighteen, and he has not yet been crowned king, so it is reasonable to leave him in Beijing. However, the position of the crown prince is vacant, and the country cannot be without a king for a day, nor can it be without a prince for a day, if the two princes who have been crowned kings are sent to the fiefdom, it means that the prince left behind will be the prince, which is unreasonable.

The position of the prince should have been sealed before the two princes left.

Because of the matter of the three princes, Prime Minister Song did not dare to mention the matter of establishing the prince, and if the prime minister did not mention it, others naturally would not mention it. After Emperor Qianwen finished talking about the news that the two princes were leaving Beijing, he directly retired from the court and left the main hall.

Dongfang Lingwu and Dongfang Du walked out of the imperial study, looked at each other at the door and smiled, and returned to Fengqing Palace together.

They can also stay in the palace for three days, and during these three days, in addition to going to Zhaoxian Palace to chat with the fake concubine, they are preparing to leave the palace. The dark chess pieces laid out did not move, like animals in hibernation, one by one, dormant, Dongfang Du gave a new order, and waited for him to rise again when the time came.

Some people, if they don't leave him a glimmer of hope, are afraid that there will be trouble. If she directly disperses the organization and does not seek the throne, I am afraid that the people below will directly rebel. As for when the time is, it depends on what the remaining Dongfang Miao does.

Emperor Qianwen didn't say whether the position of prince was given to her or Dongfang, but the fact that she left the capital with Dongfang Xu had already made most of the courtiers think that the new prince was the fourth prince.

Thinking of Dongfang Xuan, Dongfang Du couldn't help frowning, she couldn't see through this fourth emperor brother. In the past few years, there have been people secretly monitoring the every move of the four emperor brothers, and according to reports, he has secretly not made any moves, has not won over the courtiers, and has not secretly stationed troops, and has always guarded himself.

But then again, his self-preservation can also be understood as a different kind of motive, like a dormant snake that may wake up and bite them at some point, or like a fisherman waiting for the snipe and clam to fight, his non-contention is the biggest competition.

Dark Cloud, who was standing beside Dongfang, saw her tight eyebrows, stepped forward and gently smoothed it, "What's wrong?" Can't leave the palace? There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously to make Dongfang Du happy, "If you are reluctant to leave, I will stay with you, you don't need to frown to show me, right?" ”

Reluctant? All she wants is dark clouds, and all she is reluctant to leave is dark clouds, this palace, in her past and present lives, she has always been disgusted, what she likes is to do whatever she wants on the rivers and lakes, and what she likes is to be able to live freely with the people she likes, how can she want to stay? !

Thinking so, Dongfang Du smiled lightly, stretched his eyebrows, and hugged the dark cloud into his arms.

―――――

As soon as the three days passed, Dongfang Du took Dongfang Lingwu and left the palace with Dark Cloud and Chu Mi. He didn't go to Emperor Qianwen to say goodbye, nor did he put up a big battle, just a few horses and a carriage, and went in the direction of Wuya Mountain.

Naturally, there were Banlan and Gu Hongyi.

The carriage walked forward slowly, Dongfang Lingwu was not good at riding, so he naturally took the carriage, Gu Hongyi was too lazy to ride a horse, so he simply sat in the car with Dongfang Lingwu, and the person in charge of driving the carriage was the bitter Banlan.

Dongfang Lingwu lifted the curtain on the car window from time to time to take a look at Chu Mi who was riding a horse outside. In the past, Chu Mi has always used a wooden hairpin, but now he uses a unique hosta, and I don't know who sent it.

Chu Mi, who had been looking ahead, seemed to sense something, turned his head to look at the carriage, and happened to meet Dongfang Ling Wu's faint affectionate gaze. met her gaze and smiled lightly, some feelings that do not need to be spoken, but also can be seen at a glance.

All six of them had bright smiles on their faces, looking forward to their future lives. This trip has to pass through Jinzhou, that is, the fiefdom of Dongfangdu, before you can reach Wuya Mountain. Wangyun Villa in Jinzhou has been built a long time ago, and everyone can live there as long as they receive the virtuous concubine. Dongfang Du planned to take everyone to Wangyun Villa first, and place Banlan Gu red-clothed Dongfang Lingwu there, and then she and Dark Cloud and Senior Sister went to Wuya Mountain to pick up Concubine Xian.

It's just that before a few people arrived in Jinzhou City, more than a dozen black-clothed people suddenly appeared on the way, and the person at the head was Dark Cloud's master.

"Master?" Dark Cloud looked at her master who was looking at her indifferently in surprise, dismounted, and took a few steps forward, but was stopped by Dongfang Du, who dismounted together.

Yun Wei glanced at Dongfang Du, who was full of vigilance, walked up to Dark Cloud, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and handed it to Dark Cloud.

Dark Cloud turned her head and gave Dongfang Du a comforting smile, and told her with her eyes that her master would not hurt her. Dongfang Du looked at the dark cloud worriedly, hesitating in his heart, but finally let go of his hand.

Dark Cloud smiled, turned to look at Yun Wei, and reached out to take the porcelain vase in her hand.

Yun Wei withdrew his hand and left a sentence coldly: "You are so self-conscious." He turned around and left with the men in black.

Dongfang Du looked at the porcelain vase in her hand, the uneasiness and fear in her heart were like a flood that was overwhelming, as if it was about to drown her, and asked cautiously and tentatively: "What is this?" "It's poison. Medicine or what?

Opening the porcelain bottle, a fragrance wafted out of the bottle, Dark Cloud smiled, took out the pill in the bottle and took it directly, before turning his head to Dongfang Du and saying, "It's the antidote." ”

turned over and got on the horse, handed his hand to Dongfang Du, who was standing beside him in a daze, and said with a smile: "Du, ride the same horse with me." The expression on his face was more relaxed than he had ever been.

Chu Mi looked at the two people who were riding the same horse and turned his head to look at the carriage. Every time she turned her head, she could see Dongfang Lingwu's gaze, and her empty heart was instantly filled, and she smiled back, lightly pinched the horse's belly, and followed the dark clouds.
