Master Liu did not welcome Liu Rui to the front hall, but went to the big study in the front yard, invited Liu Rui to sit down, and accompanied him in the next head.

After sitting down and tasting tea, Liu Ruicai said with a smile: "Respect for my brother's life, I have come to congratulate Lord Liu's daughter and the joy of Lu, it is abrupt, please forgive Lord Liu." ”

"Where did His Highness say, His Highness can come to the house, it is a blessing for the lower officials, and the lower officials are very afraid that they cannot welcome them in person." Master Liu hurriedly got up and replied.

"Lord Liu, don't be polite, I don't want to be known by outsiders this time, so I didn't come to visit in advance. That's right," Liu Rui took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Master Liu, "My brother instructed him to hand it over to the adult, saying that the adult would know it at a glance." ”

Master Liu took the letter with both hands, and his heart was a little heavy for no reason.

I opened it and hurriedly browsed it, it was just some kind words, and then I looked at the letter in the letterhead, just one glance, Master Liu was shocked, and his eyes suddenly blurred.

The handwriting was so familiar, as if carved into my bones.

The yellowed paper seems to have been preserved for a long time, and it has been more than ten years.

When Qin'er was born, there was a correspondence, and I thought that I could still form a ...... I didn't think that a few months later, I was shocked to hear the bad news, Fanghua passed away, and the Yiren soared, and they were never found in the world again......

Thinking of this, Master Liu quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and unfolded the letterhead, the handwriting on the note was as beautiful as yesterday, and his voice and smile floated in front of him, like a rebirth.

"Senior Brother Huijian:

The little sister knows that time is running out, only the two sons can rest assured, and the palace is dark. As soon as the little sister goes, Sheng'er Rui'er is underage, and I am afraid that she will not be able to protect herself. I am very worried...... If he comes to visit with this letter one day, he asks the senior brother to see the relationship with the little sister for many years, help him, and ensure that the two brothers are well-thought, the little sister knows that this invitation is difficult for the senior brother, but the world is big, and the only person who can be entrusted is the senior brother.

The little sister is cheeky and please. I am very ashamed, no matter where I am in heaven or hell, I will silently bless my senior brother for smooth and healthy health.

Brilliant strokes. ”

Holding the letterhead tightly in his hand, an old tear dripped down unconsciously. It is dripping on the word "Fenghua", dyeing the two words, wet, and slowly blurring into two black shadows.

Elegance. Nie Fenghua. The woman who was once peerless and famous in the imperial capital, the little girl who once followed behind him and called him "senior brother" with small steps, was an eternal pain in his heart.

Because of her, he couldn't even forgive the high king, who had sworn to protect her and give her happiness, but watched her be swallowed up by darkness. Is it inaction, or is it powerless?

He couldn't forgive. If she can't be saved, why should she be dragged into the mire?

The strange appearance of Master Liu after seeing the letter was all looked into Liu Rui's eyes, and the royal brother asked him to come to congratulate and send the letter, but he didn't know what the letter said, let alone the relationship between Master Liu and his mother.

I was curious, but I didn't ask.

After a long time, Master Liu returned to normal, stood up, faced Liu Rui and said: "Please tell His Royal Highness the Great Prince, although the lower officials are not talented, they are willing to obey the dispatch of the Great Prince, although they will not give up." It's just that Xiaguan is far away in Jiangnan, and I'm afraid it's difficult to help......"

Liu Rui knew that the trip had been completed, and said with a smile: "My lord is too humble, Wucheng is under the governance of my lord, living and working in peace and contentment, even my father and emperor often praise my lord, if my imperial brother has the help of adults, it is like adding wings." ”

"Don't dare to be, if Your Highness has any orders, tell each other directly, and the officials will do their best."

Liu Rui shook his head, "I don't know much about the matter of the imperial brother, and I am just here to send a letter. ”

So that's the case, Master Liu secretly said in his heart, thinking that the eldest prince loved his younger brother very much, and didn't want him to be involved in the battle for the heir and become the target of everyone, so he concealed the truth. can maintain this rare family affection in the dark and bloody palace, which shows that the eldest prince is a person who can be trusted and dependent.

Master Liu suddenly remembered something and asked, "I wonder if Your Highness has anything else to do here?" ”

Liu Rui said with a smile: "This time I came south to see the adults in person, and there is nothing else to do." ”

"That'...... Has His Royal Highness the Grand Prince mentioned the old year? ”

Liu Rui shook his head.

Master Liu was secretly surprised, could it be that the junior sister didn't talk about it in front of the emperor and his son? When I thought about it, I was relieved.

Although he decided to follow the eldest prince and tied the Liu family to the eldest prince's ship, his daughter was his treasure, and he was not willing to involve his daughter with the royal family, as long as he was not involved, even if he failed, there was still a glimmer of life.

The two gossiped again, and the housekeeper outside came to invite him, saying that the time had come, and that he invited the adults and distinguished guests to watch the ceremony.

Liu Rui smiled and did not refuse.

walked to the courtyard, but a person from outside the courtyard hurriedly entered, it was the person who had accosted Liu Qin beside Liu Rui that day.

Liu Rui saw that his face was different, and it seemed that there was something important that he couldn't speak, "Wei Zheng, Lord Liu is his own person, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Yes, Xu Zhao has noticed that many unknown people have come to Wucheng, and he is afraid that his son's whereabouts will be revealed, so for the sake of safety, please return to Yangcheng immediately."

Liu Rui hesitated for a long time before he said, "Okay." ”

Master Liu hurriedly stepped forward, "There are also some quite skilled people in the house, so the lower official will order them to go down and let them escort the son." ”

Liu Rui waved his hand, "Your Excellency, you must not be like this, I am here in secret this time, and I must not let people know that my lord is involved with my imperial brother, and besides, the people around me are enough to protect me." ”

"This ......"

Send Liu Rui to the gate, "Childe be careful all the way, forgive the official can't send it far." ”

"Your Excellency, please stay." Liu Rui arched his hand and got into a black carriage next to him.

The carriage slowly walked in front of the Liufu Gate and walked away along the long street.

Liu Rui lifted a corner of the curtain, looked back in the direction of Liufu, and sighed silently in his heart: Little sister, I haven't seen you for a few years, I don't know if you are smooth? Big brother wanted to catch up with you face to face today, who knows...... Alas, if it weren't for the important things, the master and his old man would have come to see you, and over the years, his old man has been talking to you many times.

The delicate little girl in red flashed in front of her, and she couldn't help but smile, and then remembered the old and disrespectful master, Liu Rui's face flushed slightly.

The carriage was about to drive out of the south gate, and Liu Rui suddenly remembered something, "Go back to Jiangnan Inn." ”

"Childe?"

"Do as I tell you."

"Yes."

The carriage turned around and headed for the Jiangnan Inn.

Liu Rui sat in the carriage and did not get down, so he asked Wei Zheng to borrow a pen and inkstone, and left a letter to Liu Qin on the small table in the carriage, sorry for his hasty departure.

Give the envelope ** to Wei Zheng, and ask him to repeatedly instruct the store to hand over the letter if anyone comes to look for it.

After doing this qiē, he left Wucheng and embarked on the road back to the north.

came in a hurry, but he left with regrets, he didn't see the little sister of the year, and he lost his trust in the appointment of the virtuous brother, April was full of sunshine and flowers, but Liu Rui's mood was never able to fly.

"Qingqing grass seedlings grow in the field, don't panic when the wind and rain blows, wait for him to turn yellow and turn rice into rice, my sister will pass in front of the door, and my brother will visit ...... everywhere"

The familiar tune floated in from outside the car and accompanied him all the way north...... (To be continued.) )
