Chapter 44: The princess loses her temper
The early dynasty ended in a cloud of black smoke and miasma, and Lord Lu was so focused on his daughter that he immediately pulled the prince aside as soon as he dispersed.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you have a golden hairpin in your hand......"
The crown prince looked around, as if he was very cautious: "Lord Lu, about Ling Ai, this king just got the news this morning, and there was such a big incident before I could tell you, if you don't catch up with me, I almost forgot!" ”
Lu Yong listened to his tone and felt that his daughter had really had an accident, so he nervously grabbed the other party and said, "Your Highness, what happened to the little girl?" ”
The prince was held by him tightly, so his heart was settled, and it seemed that this old bone would soon be able to be used for himself. "Don't hide it from Lord Lu, most of the thousands of people who went to the court to help the third brother this time are the king's people, and the battle between the two sides is indispensable for verbal negotiations, it turns out that the third brother is not only poisoned is fake, but also blamed Ling Ai for poisoning, and Ling Ai fled overnight. Thinking that Miss Lu was also innocent, the king sent people to search between the mountains and fields along the way, and finally found Ling Ai, the soldiers originally wanted to rescue her together, but they were caught by the third brother's people halfway. You also know that the imperial court only sent 5,000 soldiers this time, which is worth the 10,000 elite troops of the third brother who bombed them, and they were originally some remnants of the defeated army, so naturally they couldn't resist...... Miss Lu dropped this hairpin before she was taken away by them, probably because she wanted to report to Lord Lu. His words were pertinent and regretful, "Oh, Lord Lu, rest assured, this king has already explained to those soldiers, and he will never mention Ling Ai's involvement in poisoning to anyone, you can rest assured." ”
The prince guessed the old fox's thoughts, and what he was worried about was not his daughter's safety at all, but the interests that were tied to the third prince because of his daughter.
"Lord Lu has been loyally following the third brother before, and even the king is a little jealous, but I never expected that our heart is higher than the sky King Yu will use his own princess as soon as he makes a move, tsk......" The prince was full of instigation, "It's not that this king speaks badly, if it wasn't for this king to stop him just now, maybe Lord Lu will help the murderer who framed his daughter to exonerate!" ”
Lu Yong was shocked and convinced of the prince's words, originally he was not loyal to the third prince, but because of this family business, he naturally formed an interest group with the Yuwang Mansion, and he had been loyal and effective before, all because of the strong power of the Yuyu and worthy of an alliance. But now, regardless of the fact that he framed his daughter, judging from the fact that he rebelled against the imperial court, it is no longer suitable to sit in the same boat.
"His Royal Highness came to the rescue of the little girl, and the old man is really grateful!" Lu Yong saluted the prince with emotion, and said with a moving face: "Fortunately, His Highness stopped him, otherwise the old man mistrusted others, I am sorry for the emperor's court, and I am sorry for my daughter, I am afraid that it will be a big mistake in the end!" ”
"Lord Lu is the minister of the humerus, and Xiao Wang should be especially cherished." The prince replied with a false salute, and the two of them were roughly hooked up.
On the other side of this storm, the two women of the Yuwang Mansion are also secretly practicing their own plans.
It has been two days since Xu Yun successfully escaped from the palace, and it was all according to Concubine Fu's plan. Because she has been sick in bed since the accident with the prince, the prince did not suspect much after learning about the situation from the eyeliner, so she could be easily carried out of the palace as a dead person. After that, several people took advantage of the gap in the coffin in Yizhuang to transfer flowers and trees, and replaced Xu Yun with stones. After saying goodbye to Concubine Fu and Qingqiu in a hurry, Xu Yun dragged her sick body and hurried on the road.
How difficult and dangerous the journey was, it was obvious to a weak woman like Xu Yun. Where there are people, she has to hide to prevent her identity from being revealed; No one's place is more terrifying, the mountains and forests, poisonous snakes and beasts, she is all alone, at night in the mountains and forests where she can't see her fingers, she can only survive the tormenting night by closing her eyes and burying her head in her hands.
After defeating the prince's army, Xiao Yu led the soldiers and horses to continue to advance towards the Northern Desert, although there were some doubts in his heart, but he mostly thought that the prince was also deliberately looking for faults, and wanted to destroy himself on the road and never return to the North Desert, so now that the prince has stolen chickens and rice, he will also follow the steps and do not make a noise, after all, the feeling of suffering a loss is the worst.
In the past few days, Lu Xiaohan has been losing his temper with him, ignoring his words, even if she is standing face to face, she can't see herself, and she has been slapped in public several times, and the soldiers are all burying their heads and snickering. If it weren't for this rumor, I really didn't know, it turned out that my temper could be so good.
No, at noon, the army stopped to rest, and found a hole to shake Lu Xiaohan's side.
"We can reach the Northern Desert boundary before dusk tonight, and the leader of Rong Fan has sent a letter, saying that there will be a banquet for hospitality in the evening, and you should take care of it solemnly when you arrive, don't take the country lightly."
Xiao Han played with the hay in his hand ********, as if he hadn't heard anyone speak.
Seeing this, Lan'er hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the slave and maid will help the princess dress up generously and decently, and she will never lose royal face." ”
He nodded, "If you lack any jewelry and fabrics, you might as well tell this king first, or send someone to the city to buy it and prepare it." ”
Lan'er was about to answer, but Xiao Han suddenly stood up from the ground and faced him with a smile. Xiaoyu and Lan'er were both happy in their hearts, thinking that she had finally lost her anger.
"Lord, the things sold on the market are too vulgar, or the ones I wear on weekdays are more suitable, just like the golden hairpin I wear when I go out, rich and gorgeous, and the craftsmanship of the golden hairpin is the most able to show my identity as a princess."
"That's right, so it's up to you...... By the way, why haven't you seen you wear the golden hairpin you said in the past few days? ”
Xiao Han smiled, pretending to be careless and said, "Oh, that golden hairpin, when I was fleeing for my life, I unfortunately lost it." ”
At this time, Xiaoyu and Lan'er understood why she wanted to take this conversation.
"What's wrong, Lord Wang? Didn't you ask the concubine what she lacked? The concubine lacks the golden hairpin, can you help the concubine find it back? Xiao Hanyin smiled and said with a strange feeling, and after thinking about it, he was still puzzled, so he added: "It's best to get back the suffering I suffered all the way from being upside down, eating and sleeping in the open!" ”
Xiao Yu resisted the urge to laugh in his heart, and raised his chin to Lan'er, "You go and get some hot water from Vice General Zhang." ”
Lan'er immediately understood, and ran away with a water bladder in her arms.
"Lu Xiaohan, is your life really so desolate?" He asked faintly.
"You...... What do you mean? Could it be that Lan'er and I went all the way to the mountains and rivers? ”
"I'm afraid that I will eat better than staying at the post station."
Xiao Han was stunned when he heard this, and the doubts that had flashed in his mind before gradually became clear under his reminder. "Yes, is that you? All those chickens, ducks, and fish are all from you? ”
Xiao Yu cleared his throat, "Why not chicken, duck and fish?" Do you think you can really pick up chopped dry wood anywhere in that damp meadow? Naive. ”
Xiao Han glanced at him secretly, and under that serious face was a pride that couldn't be hidden.
