At this moment, the moon is hollow.

Su Wanqing was apprehensive all the way, and hurriedly came to the Nine Courtyards.

At a glance, under the eaves on all sides, there are several vermilion lanterns, bright and dark, full of red. It's just that the auspiciousness of this New Year's festival still makes Su Wanqing feel a little cold for some reason.

The lamp in the study was on, and the candlelight reflected through the window lattice, casting a bright light and shadow on the floor.

Su Wanqing's footsteps stopped slightly, and walked towards the study.

Hengwen, who was guarding outside the door of the study, saw Su Wanqing, and there was no surprise on his face, but he only saluted her very plainly.

Su Wanqing smiled and said, "I heard that the prince returned home late at night, so I came over to take a look, and I bothered you to help me report it." ”

Hearing this, Hengwen glanced back at the study, groaned slightly, and said to Su Wanqing: "Back to Concubine Su, the prince has explained before, saying that he is a little tired tonight and doesn't want to see anyone, so I'm afraid I want to ask you to go back first." ”

This clearly means to avoid it.

As soon as these words came out, Biwu and Hongfu, who were standing behind them, were stunned on the spot.

Su Wanqing's face also changed slightly, and she subconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

It's not that she didn't think that Su Yuanyi might not see her, but when she saw Hengwen blocking herself out of the door so neatly, she couldn't help but feel that the situation was a little bad.

You must know how ruthless Su Yuanyi is, Su Wanqing has to worry about whether Su Yuanyi wants to punish her like treating Shen Qingyi coldly, or does she want to completely alienate herself......

Su Wanqing can't afford such an accident now.

She didn't want to think about it any longer, so she forced herself to settle down. He regained his smile and said softly: "I know that the prince is tired from going to the banquet, so I specially prepared tea and some supper for rescue, you see." These...... It's hard for me to take it back again, or you can pass it on to the prince and let me go this trip in vain. ”

Hengwen glanced at Su Wanqing, and said, "Concubine Fang, the prince has already spoken, and I hope you don't embarrass the little one." ”

When Bi Wu heard him say this, she was a little anxious for her master. couldn't help but say: "Concubine Fang has been waiting for the prince all day today, and I haven't eaten much for dinner, so I beg you to help!" ”

Hongfu reached out and tugged at Biwu's clothes. Motioning for her not to interject at this time.

Hengwen looked at Biwu, there was no displeasure in his expression, but he still bowed his head and said, "Concubine Fang, please go back." ”

It seems that if you want to meet tonight, there is no chance at all.

Su Wanqing saw this. I know that it is useless to dwell on it. I couldn't help but sigh secretly, looked in the direction of the window, and was silent without speaking.

There was not the slightest sound in the study.

Su Wanqing was silent for a moment, feeling a little heavy in her heart, and gradually withdrew her gaze.

Seeing this, Biwu's lips moved, and she wanted to continue to say something, but she could pronounce a syllable. was stopped by Su Wanqing's look.

Su Wanqing thought for a while and said to Hengwen: "It's okay." Since the prince is tired, then I won't bother," she said, she turned sideways and motioned to Hongfu, who was carrying supper tea, to step forward, "Can I leave these behind, please help me send them in, it is also a little bit of my heart." ”

Hengwen hesitated for a moment, then took the thing from Hongfu's hand, "The little one understands, don't worry." ”

Su Wanqing thanked Hengwen, there was no reason to continue to stay in the Nine Courtyards, her eyes swept over the bright window, and she walked towards the outside of the Nine Courtyards.

Bi Wu and Hong Fu followed behind their master, looking at Su Wanqing's appearance, they were a little worried about her emotions, but there were people around, and the two of them were not good at expressing concern.

After stepping out of the Nine Courtyards, Hongfu and Biwu exchanged a look, pondering how to speak.

At this time, a personal guard came briskly from outside, and when he saw Su Wanqing and a few people, he quickly saluted, and then strode inward.

Hongfu and Biwu's attention was elsewhere, and they didn't pay special attention to it, but Su Wanqing's eyes were on the guard, and a hint of suspicion flashed in her mind, and her steps were suddenly stunned.

"Master, what's wrong?" Hongfu was puzzled.

Su Wanqing didn't care about answering, she looked back at the back of the guard, and gradually, the doubts in her eyes dispersed.

Yes, the demeanor of the guards gives people a feeling of being dusty......

Su Wanqing's heart moved slightly, she thought for a moment, turned around and asked, "Are you cold now?" ”

Biwu and Hongfu, who were asked, glanced at each other, shook their heads and said, "The slaves and maids are dressed thickly, not cold." ”

"Then we're going to have to cool off outside for a while." Su Wanqing tugged at the corners of her lips, counted a smile, looked around, and after seeing a leeward hideout, she took the two of them over.

"Master, what are we doing?" Biwu probe looked out, and there was not even half a figure on the way, and she couldn't help but be a little confused.

Su Wanqing made a silent gesture, lowered her voice and said, "Just wait a minute." ”

At the same time, in the study in the Nine Courtyards.

Hengwen stood beside the table, put a few dishes on the table, and said, "Lord Qiqi, someone from Yandong has come back with news." ”

"Let him in." Su Yuanyi put down the pen in his hand, glanced at the things on the table, and said lightly: "Is she gone?" ”

Su Yuanyi did not specify who the latter was by name, but Hengwen understood what he meant, and was about to retreat, slowing down, and responded: "Yes, I have left." ”

Su Yuanyi was silent and did not speak.

Hengwen glanced at him and slowly exited the door.

Immediately, a pro-guard stepped inside, saluted Su Yuanyi, and reported: "Lord Wang, Mr. Chen asked his subordinates to go back to Beijing to spread the word, there is indeed a plague in Yandong City!" ”

At this point, when Su Yuanyi got the news last time, he knew that Su Wanqing's initial guess was not far from ten, so he was not very surprised when it was verified at this moment, his face was cold as usual, but there was some darkness in his eyes that he didn't usually have, and asked in a deep voice: "What is the situation in Yandong City now, has the epidemic been controlled in Yandong City?" ”

The guard paused for a moment when he heard this, lowered his head in fear and said: "The subordinates and others are guilty of failing to guard the gate of Yandong City, which caused many Yandong people to escape from the city and lose control, and please punish the prince!" ”

"What?" Su Yuanyi's gaze shot towards the man like ice, and his eyes were extremely cold, "Where is the Central Guard, why didn't they seal the city gates on all sides of Yandong?" ”

At the beginning, Su Yuanyi sent Chen Jianzhi two tokens for the mobilization of the Central Guard, and there were three or four thousand people in total, even if the next three thousand people did not arrive, the hundreds of people in front should have arrived.

It stands to reason that with them guarding the town, it is impossible for those people to leave Yandong so easily...... (To be continued.) )
