Rou'er and the little maid rushed to the imperial city non-stop, and the coachman asked around and finally knew the direction of the prince's mansion.

But when they really stood in front of the Prince's Mansion, they were dumbfounded, it was heavily guarded, and they couldn't enter at all, let alone see His Royal Highness the Prince, and they didn't even have a chance to see the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion.

"Oops, what should I do? We can't get in at all, isn't that for nothing? Rou'er was so anxious that she stomped her foot.

The little maid had the intention to ignore her, but no matter how unhappy she was, there was no way, they were all already in the imperial city now, and none of them would have turned out that Rou'er would never go back.

"Miss, I heard that the master said that he has a friend who works as a household servant in the imperial city, why don't we go to him first and ask him to help us think of a way." The little maid said to Rou'er.

Rou'er often heard her father mention this household servant, thinking that their relationship must be very good, and she is not familiar with life in the imperial city now, so she has to go to him first.

They came to the mansion of the household servant, and as soon as the lord of the household servant heard that it was the daughter of the old man who was visiting, he enthusiastically took Rou'er into the mansion.

"Niece, you have come all the way to the imperial city, why didn't your father write a letter to say hello first, and I would send someone out of the city to pick you up." Lord Hou said.

Rou'er lowered her head slightly, what should she say? Could it be that she sneaked away disguised as a man, but her father didn't agree?

The little maid coughed and quietly pushed Rou'er.

Rou'er said: "Shibo, thank you for your kindness, I'm just a junior, how can I bother you so much." And we didn't come to the Imperial City to play, but we had something to do. ”

Lord Hou was a little puzzled, what important things could she have as a little girl?

It's just that he was embarrassed to say it clearly, but he just asked his subordinates to arrange their food and lodging, and planned to repair a book to ask him about his old friends.

Zhixian found out that his daughter was missing at home, and he immediately understood that this girl must have disobeyed his advice and ran to the imperial city without permission.

He was in a hurry and didn't know what to do when he received a letter from Lord Hou, informing him that Rou'er had arrived at his house.

Zhixian was a little relieved at this time, and he repaired the book and asked Lord Hou to take good care of Rou'er, and don't let her cause trouble again.

Although he did not explicitly say that Rou'er was chasing after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he repeatedly told him in his letters not to let her go out alone, so as not to provoke right and wrong.

After Lord Hou received the letter, after reading it, the doubts in his heart not only did not resolve, but became more and more backlogged.

This friend of his has always loved this daughter, how could he let her run to the imperial city alone?

If she is not allowed to go out, do you want to put her under house arrest?

These questions made him more and more strange the more he thought about it, but he couldn't rush to ask Rou'er, so he had to stop it.

Lord Hou has a son named Hu Sailei, he is a martial champion, he has no real power, and now he stays in the imperial city with his father and waits for dispatch.

He was dancing the long stick in the courtyard as usual, and happened to see Rou'er, dressed in white, delicately walking past him with a little maid.

He was almost stupid.

Rou'er walked past him and saw Hu Sailei, who was not wearing clothes on his upper body, his face was full of intoxication at the moment, and love was about to emerge in his eyes.

Rou'er couldn't help but smile slightly, hehe, this is Shibo's son? also said that it was a martial champion, with a stupid face.

As soon as Hussele saw her smiling at him, all his thoughts flew to him, how could he know that Rou'er was making fun of him for being stupid.

He thought that this beautiful girl had taken a fancy to him.

He saw that the little beauty had gone away, and when he couldn't see it, he ran into the house and asked his father, "Dad, I saw a beautiful woman in the courtyard just now, who is she?" How can it be in our house? ”

Lord Hou didn't have to think about it to know who he was talking about.

"Oh, that's your uncle's daughter, named Rou'er, who wants to live in our house for a while."

As soon as Hu Sailei heard that it was his little sister, his heart suddenly flashed with thoughts.

Hehe, great, I usually hear his father say that he has a Shibo who is outside the county, but he can't imagine that this Shibo has such a lovely daughter.

He has reached the age of marriage, and most of the women in this imperial city can't get into his eyes, and when he sees this little cousin Rou'er today, his heart is pounding, and his soul is almost gone.

Hussere's father also seemed to sense his thoughts, and he asked, "Do you like Rou'er?" She has a good character, and she is a friend of our family, if you really like her, I can talk to her father. ”

Hu Sailei is a martial artist, not a considerate scholar, how can he know Rou'er's mind is the most important.

It was enough for him to know only the orders of his parents and the words of the matchmaker, so he immediately begged his father to marry him to Thibertia.

Lord Hou has always known his son's temperament, whether he is high or low, how many matchmakers have come to him to protect him in the past few years, and none of them have made him like.

I didn't expect him to take the initiative to say that he wanted to marry Rou'er as his wife, this is really a match made in heaven, kiss and kiss.

This Lord Hou was also confused, he didn't ask Rou'er if she was willing, so he wrote a letter to propose marriage.

The next day, Rou'er was thinking about how to tell Hou Shibo about letting her enter the prince's mansion, but the little maid hurriedly ran in and said, "Miss, Miss, it's not good." ”

"You came just in time, help me think about how to talk to Shibo, I want to find His Royal Highness the Prince."

The little maid said loudly, "Oops! Do you still want to enter the Prince's Mansion? Lord Hou has already written to the lord to propose marriage to his son Hu Sailei! ”

The teacup in Rou'er's hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

She wanted to be the crown princess, but what she didn't think would suddenly have such a big variable.

"How is that possible? Did Daddy say yes? ”

The little maid shook her head and replied, "I don't know, the master hasn't replied yet." ”

"No! Let's go quickly, I won't marry that stupid melon if I die, I only have His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in my heart! ”

Rou'er and the little maid hurriedly escaped from the Hou Mansion with their luggage, and it was getting late, so they had to stay in the inn.

The shopkeeper of the inn saw two women in a hurry, thinking that they were the runaway concubines from the mansion of some adult, for fear that he would get into some trouble.

But people must live here, and he has no choice, is there a reason for him to open an inn and drive away guests?

How did you know that something big would happen at dawn the next day.

A tenant saw a pool of blood at his door, and he shouted loudly, waiting for the shopkeeper and the juniors to run over to find blood flowing from the room of the two women opposite.

The tenants were all gathered at the door of the room, one by one nervously holding their breath, not daring to speak.

The shopkeeper asked Xiao Er to call the door, but no one responded after shouting several words.

The shopkeeper boldly pushed the door, but the door was unlocked, and it was pushed open.

I saw a woman lying behind the door covered in blood, and her head was cut off.

There were a few timid people in the audience, and they fainted to the ground with a sound, and the shopkeeper was so frightened that he couldn't stand.

A few knowledgeable guests immediately asked Xiao Er to report to the official, this is a big murder case, it can't be a child's play!

After Xiao Er reported to the official, Zhang Haogu, the magistrate of the imperial city, came to check the scene in person.

The shopkeeper described the appearance of the two women he saw, and Zhang Haogu found someone to draw portraits and post them on the streets, hoping to find out their identities.

But day after day, not only did no one recognize the woman in the painting, but there was not even a bitter master who said that his daughter was missing.

Zhang Haogu is really worried, what's going on?

Why didn't anyone recognize them? Aren't they locals?

When he was frowning, the housekeeper of the household servant suddenly came to the door and asked Zhang Haogu to come to the house.

The household squire is a figure that Zhang Haogu usually can't stammer, but now he actually sent a housekeeper to invite him, he was really overjoyed.

Zhang Haogu came to the mansion of Lord Hou of the Ministry of Households, and saw Lord Hou and his son Hou Sailei standing in the hall with their faces sinking like water.

He still wondered, Lord Hou, what's wrong with them? Did you inadvertently offend them?

Thinking of this, Zhang Haogu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. (To be continued.) )
