Xiang Huaiyi sat down, Ah Yuan stood aside, and after a while, the small palace people served a tray with black lacquer and gold leaves, and presented the white porcelain blue and white tea bowl. Ah Yuan took the tea bowl and handed it to Xiang Huaiyi with both hands.

Xiang Huaiyi hurriedly bowed and took it with both hands: "Don't dare to bother your father-in-law." ”

"It's too polite to the adults, it's the honor of the slaves to be able to serve the adults with tea." Ah Yuan smiled, looking very close and likable.

Xiang Huaiyi's heart was slightly relaxed, because Ah Yuan didn't dare to sit, and he had a talent to come, so naturally it was not good to sit and talk to Ah Yuan, so he stood up and seemed to be chatting closely, and said: "The humble post came to see the prince this time, in order to make amends for tonight's incident, I just asked the people on the door to go back and forth to the prince, I don't know if the prince can be free?" ”

Ah Yuan's eyes rolled, and he already had some guesses about the purpose of Xiang Huaiyi's trip, so he said with a bitter face: "Lord Xiang doesn't know. The princess was injured, and the princess was appeasing the princess at this time, so it was really inconvenient to meet guests, and you also know that our prince has been in a bad mood recently, and he has not been a guest. Your kindness will definitely be conveyed to the prince, and it is really a pity for you to go this way. ”

The implication is that the prince is gone, please go back, there is a meaning of sending off!

Xiang Huaiyi's heart felt like someone had poured a basin of hot oil, and he was already scratching his heart and liver.

The emperor ordered that he should give an explanation before the prince set off, otherwise his nine clans would be destroyed. However, the prince was scheduled to leave early tomorrow morning, where did he go to catch the murderer in such a short time?

He must think of a way to keep the prince. 、

Ah Yuan observed the words and looks, and saw that Xiang Huaiyi was still smiling. His face was calm, but he was actually very uneasy, and if he really came to kowtow to the prince to make amends, he must have paid attention to his appearance, but his hair was a little messy, and he could see the black ink on the corners of his robe by the bright candlelight.

When a normal person writes, do you write ink on the corners of your robe?

Even if there is, don't you have time to change clothes before coming to the palace?

Thinking of the emperor's character, it is not difficult for Ah Yuan to conclude that Xiang Huaiyi must have come to the palace immediately after the emperor was scolded. That is, he was in a hurry. I was so anxious that I didn't even have time to change my robe. I didn't have time to get a haircut.

Ah Yuan's heart was like a mirror, but he still smiled and said, "Lord Xiang? ”

Xiang Huaiyi smiled and took out a large red seal from his arms and handed it to Ah Yuan, and said with a smile: "Yuan Gong has worked hard to serve the prince on the fair day, so little meaning." I invited Father-in-law Yuan to tea. ”

Pinch slightly. Ah Yuan knew how much silver was in it.

He smiled and pushed Feng Hong back. said with a smile: "The prince treats the slave and maid as kind as a mountain, and it is right to serve the prince, and it is the blessing of the slave and maid to be able to do something for the prince." Where will it be hard? Moreover, on weekdays, the prince often rewards slaves and maids, and there has never been a shortage of food and clothing and monthly silver, and slaves and maids rarely go out, so it is useless to ask for silver. Thank you for your reward. Your heart's slave has been received, and the money is still pleased. ”

When Ah Yuan said this, it seemed that Xiang Huaiyi was secretly snubbing Prince Xiang.

Xiang Huaiyi immediately sweated on his forehead, how could the people who served the clan dignitaries be so difficult!

Ah Yuan saw that Xiang Huaiyi was already embarrassed, so he no longer chased and beat hard, but only smiled and said, "Does Lord Xiang still have orders?" ”

Xiang Huaiyi wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "I heard that the prince is going to the fiefdom, I don't know when he will leave?" ”

"It turns out that Lord Xiang wanted to ask about it. The prince was originally scheduled for the day after tomorrow, oh, now that the time has passed, it will be tomorrow's departure. ”

"I heard that the princess was frightened and was able to set off as scheduled, so I think it's okay, right?"

"Thank you for your concern, the princess is fine, she has suffered some minor injuries, and she is fine." Ah Yuan smiled, and two dimples appeared on his round face, which was really kind.

But in Xiang Huaiyi's eyes, it is also equally impeccable. Money can't be bought, and the news is only willing to reveal a little, and it is simply not a fume.

I didn't expect that Prince Xiang could raise such a person around him.

"It's fine. Now that the prince has gone to bed, the lower officials have taken their leave. ”

"The slave will send you."

Ah Yuan sent people all the way out of the house, and ordered people to guard the gate carefully, and then turned back to the inner house, until he reached the outside of the bedroom, and said softly: "Lord? ”

Xiao Cuo hadn't slept in the first place, his mind was full of the current situation and his own situation, and how to go in the future if he wanted to protect Fu Ying. It was Ah Yuan's voice, and he heard it very clearly.

Lightly covered the quilt for Fu Ying, then turned over and went straight out.

Fu Ying was frightened tonight, and there were injuries on her body, although the slight pain was not unbearable, but she couldn't sleep peacefully, she was half-awake when Xiao made a mistake, and she was fully awake when she heard the sound of the door.

I faintly heard the sound of talking outside, and knew that it was Ah Yuan and Xiao Cuo, so I hugged the quilt and waited for Xiao Cuo to come back.

Ah Yuan replied: "...... It was because the slave didn't pass it on to him, and he looked at the adult as if he was in a hurry, embarrassed. The hair is messy, and the corner of the robe still has ink, and the emperor is angry, otherwise he will not come to ask when you will leave. ”

Xiao Cuo was wearing a snow-white middle coat, and he stood with his arms crossed with a robe outside, and couldn't help but give Ah Yuan a funny look: "You ghost clever, when did you start to make your own decisions?" Since Xiang Huaiyi is here, he should be introduced, why bother with the command of the Chinese army of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses? ”

"The 'small' commander of the Central Army of the Five Cities Terracotta Division? Lord, you are the pride of the sky, of course he is a petty official, in your eyes, in addition to the emperor is the princess, who else is bigger? ”

Ah Yuan and Xiao Cuo grew up together since childhood, and naturally they don't need other masters and servants, and he has always said whatever Xiao Cuo wants, and he is used to it.

Xiao Cuo sneered at what he said: "What are you talking about, the imperial brother is the imperial brother, and the princess is the princess, how can you still mention it side by side, and you are not afraid of causing trouble for your master when it is passed on." ”

"Isn't it like there are no outsiders?" Ah Yuan approached Zhu Zhechi, inherited Xiao Cuo's hippie smile, and then lowered his voice and said: "Lord Wang, you should also plan for yourself, even if you don't have other thoughts, it won't be a bad thing to make friends with some officials in the DPRK and China." On weekdays, officials like the Five Cities Terracotta Division who are in charge of the city's prevention and security, you don't have a direct reason to approach. Why not take this opportunity to make friends now? The slave and maid didn't give him the letter, and he was so anxious, thinking that he would definitely obey the prince's words in the future. ”

Xiao Cuo looked at Ah Yuan with a smile, and tapped his forehead with his finger: "You." ”

In fact, if he had no suspicion of the imperial brother in the past, he would not have done such a thing. But now that I have some doubts in my heart, Ah Yuan's analysis is naturally good.

"That's it, if you do the right thing this time, I'll credit you."

Ah Yuan smiled happily: "Thank you, the slave has gone down." ”

"Go ahead. The hour is not early. Go to bed early. ”

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." Ah Yuan grinned at Xiao staggeredly, then made a big salute according to the rules, and walked out quickly.

Xu is a man who went castrate. It's like a little girl. Ah Yuan hasn't grown in years. He spoke softly. Not to mention Xiao Cuo's loyalty, he is clever and sensible, and he is very intelligent.

Xiao Cuo was a follower when Ah Yuan was a child. When Ah Yuan was older, he was a playmate, and now, Ah Yuan seems to be his family. He is very sympathetic to a man who is not a normal man.

What Ah Yuan said today is all for his sake, and he knows it.

It would be nice if Archer could be as unchanging as Ah Yuan.

Thinking that Archer had not returned from going out to look for Gu Yun, Xiao Cuo was even more sleepless.

After returning to the house, he sat down cross-legged on the three-sided arhat bed placed near the window, but Fu Ying said in the tent of the bed: "Ah wrong, what are you doing there?" ”

Xiao Cuo was stunned for a moment, and then took the silk lamp and walked slowly to the stepping bed.

"Did I wake you up?" Put the silk lamp on the small table next to the bed, and then sit down with the yarn tent.

Fu Ying smiled and said, "No, it's my own light sleep." ”

"I used to be able to eat and sleep, but I slept lightly, but where was the discomfort in my body? Does the wound hurt badly? ”

The corners of Fu Ying's mouth twitched, "You still listen to the first half of this sentence without the first half of it." ”

Xiao Cuo touched his nose and said innocently: "I used to be able to eat and sleep." ”

"You still say?"

"Well, it's me talking nonsense. Okay. ”

"That's pretty much it." Fu Ying smiled and moved to Xiao Cuo's side wrapped in the quilt, he sat on the edge of the bed with a pillow, she used his thighs as pillows, and Ren Chang's hair spread out to his knees.

"Ah Wrong, what is Ah Yuan looking for you?"

Xiao said wrongly: "It's not a big deal. It was the commander of the Chinese army of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who asked Huaiyi to see him, and Ah Yuan sent him for me. ”

"This hour has passed."

"yes. Ah Yuan saw that he was eager, and he also specially asked when we would leave. I suspect that Brother Huang must have ordered him to catch the murderer before we set off. After all, when the assassins committed murder in the imperial city, they also despised the royal law too much, and did not take the imperial brother in their eyes. ”

Fu Ying nodded when he heard this, and said, "You haven't seen him yet, and if you think about it, he will definitely think about coming again." ”

"You're right, he'll be here before we leave tomorrow."

The voice fell, but Ah Yuan's voice came from outside: "Lord Wang, I have lowered the post to your lordship, and there is a letter." ”

Xiao Cuo got up when he heard this, went out quickly, took the envelope and the invitation and entered the house.

Fu Ying had already sat up in his clothes and looked at Xiao Cuo with concern.

Xiao Cuo first unfolded the invitation, then opened the envelope, and after reading the two pieces of paper inside, not only did he not know.

Seeing him like this, Fu Ying said curiously: "What's the matter?" Laughing like this? ”

"This Xiang Huaiyi is also a wonderful person." Xiao Cuo sat on the edge of the bed and handed everything in his hand to Fu Ying.

Fu Ying looked at the invitation card first, and it said that Xiang Huaiyi Mansion would hold a banquet in the afternoon of the next day, and invited Prince Xiang and the princess to come in person.

"He held the banquet the day after tomorrow, and we will leave tomorrow, this is a change of way to keep us." Fu Ying put down the post and unfolded the envelope.

What the letter said was nothing more than an apology, saying that this danger was a dereliction of duty on the part of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and I asked the prince to forgive Yunyun. Along with the letter on the house, is a deed of sale.

The name on the deed of sale is written as Yue'e.

Fu Ying asked suspiciously: "It's just an apology letter, an invitation that is not right on the wrong day, you think he is a wonderful person?" It's definitely not going to be that simple, tell me about it. Who is Yue'e this time? ”

Xiao Cuo hesitated for a moment, but still said: "This Yue'e girl is the Oiran of Jiao Chu Building, the largest Qinglou in Kyoto, and she has never sold her body for her art, and no matter how many dignitaries and nobles want to kiss Fang Ze, they have no chance." ”

Fu Ying blinked in shock.

"This person sent a concubine to you, and then he also sent a dusty woman?"

"What do you want?" Xiao Cuo pinched her cheek, "Where is the concubine who sends the wind and dust woman?" If you want to send it, you will send it to a good concubine. In fact, Xiang Huaiyi was handing me a letter of resignation. ”

"I don't understand."

"The reason why this Yue'e girl is able to sell her art without selling her body, and how many people can't get it with silver and power, is because she doesn't dare to offend the boss behind Jiao Chulou. The owner of Jiao Chu Lou, the nephew of a concubine, the imperial brother. ”

Fu Ying understood.

"He can get you a deed of sale that no one else can get, in fact, he is telling you that he has a relationship with that royal relative. A commander of the Chinese army of the Five Cities Terracotta Division actually has a close relationship with his relatives. Although this matter is not a crime, if it is used to make a fuss, Xiang Huaiyi will still be late to go around, and he took the initiative to hand you the handle of the knife. ”

"That's it, I can't imagine that my little fool is not stupid." Xiao Cuo's big hand ruffled her long hair.

Fu Ying said helplessly: "Where am I stupid, you call me that, and if I am stupid in the future, you will also be harmed." ”

Xiao Cuo laughed, hugged Fu Ying and said, "Let's rest, tomorrow is a good day to recuperate, and we will go to the banquet in the future." ”

Fu Ying raised her eyebrows: "You don't plan to set off tomorrow?" ”

"I'm going to have a rare encounter with these people, and I'm going to see what he can do for a while. Besides, you and your mother-in-law and grandmother need to rest. Settle the matter, and it's not too late to catch the assassin before leaving. ”

Fu Ying nodded, "Anyway, the fiefdom will be there again, and it won't run away, it's the same when you go, as long as we're together, it's okay." ”

She obviously didn't say any sweet words, just the most simple sentence, but it touched the soft part of Xiao Cuo's heart.

Although he was moved, he would never show it, "Okay, let's settle it first." ”

As if solving a mental matter, the pressure was a little less, and Fu Ying and Xiao Cuo fell asleep after a short time.

And Archer will still squat outside the wall of an ordinary house in the north of the city.

Gu Yun had been in for half an hour, and he had followed him all the way here, so it was easy to make sure that he was not discovered. He knew that Gu Yun could, and he also wanted to see who he was here to meet secretly.

In the courtyard, Gu Yun frowned and said, "The Lord is angry, the situation was urgent, and I did my best." ”

Fu Ying was dressed in dark purple men's clothes, with a straight back, and stood with his hands in his hands and squinted at Gu Yun, "I see that your ability to do things has decreased recently." Now that the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division are all over the world looking for assassins, you don't go to help, but instead come here to tell you that you didn't do it properly to escort Prince Xiang and the princess, don't you want the antidote this month?
