"I'll ask Nian Zheng to send you out the back door." Instead of holding her back, he handed over the decision to her.

"Your Highness, I think it's more appropriate for us to go together." Full Moon's words made him slightly stunned, and he immediately understood what she meant.

"Okay." Lin Dongyao nodded, looking at her with more profound meaning.

So when Lin Jian entered the courtyard, it was just an empty courtyard, and he knew very well what was going on, but he didn't know where they went.

Because there was no face-to-face encounter, even afterwards, he had nothing to say.

Lin Dongyao and Full Moon couldn't avoid meeting, it seemed that he took the initiative to find him, but in fact, he was the one who occupied the passive. Since the full moon came here because of the news of Linghu Qiuyu, he didn't know how much Lin Dongyao knew, but the distance between him and the full moon was indeed getting farther and farther away.

Back at the Prince's Mansion, Lin Jian locked himself in the study and didn't move all night.

Even though he knew that the full moon had returned, he didn't get out of the study.

If he can't give Full Moon a satisfactory answer, he doesn't know how to face her.

Between the two, the relationship suddenly became complex and delicate.

Early the next morning, Linghu Qiuyu and Aunt Wu returned to the Hou Mansion.

Except that Aunt Wu was frightened a lot, and she was always talking nonsense, Linghu Qiuyu was much calmer.

The two only said that they escaped from the Hou Mansion a little late, and were forced to the edge of the cliff by the rebels, and finally stumbled and slipped down, Aunt Wu probably became dementia because she was stimulated, and Linghu Qiuyu didn't dare to take Aunt Wu up without permission because she didn't know the situation above, and she didn't dare to show up until she hid for almost a month.

The whole story seems to be seamless, and although Hu Hongxi is skeptical, he doesn't find any flaws.

Only Zhao Yuer had a serious illness the next day because the two of them came back, and she was bedridden for several days.

A month later, the emperor decreed that meritorious deeds would be rewarded.

Full Moon became the first second-rank female official in Kyoto of the Celestial Empire! Entering the palace every day with the queen mother by her side, after dealing with the affairs of the harem, you can return to the Hou Mansion, which is the same as the work and rest of the courtiers.

The Queen Mother is tantamount to transferring the full moon away from the prince, if it is left in the past, it will definitely cause strong opposition from the prince, but this time, Lin Jian didn't say anything, and when the full moon left the prince's mansion, he didn't send her.

In the eyes of outsiders, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be less interested in the freshness of Linghu's full moon. After all, they are the descendants of the royal family, which one is not a beautiful three thousand, how can they love a woman for a lifetime? It's just a momentary novelty.

There was also a lot of discussion in the government and the opposition, and at first I thought that Linghu Manyue was taking the opportunity to be promoted to the crown princess by staying by the prince's side as a female official, but now it seems that it is a bamboo basket for nothing.

No matter what others said, Linghu Hongxi never gave any response. Because he knows that the full moon and the crown prince will soon pass.

Because the queen mother and the emperor are very satisfied, the crown princess is about to come back.

Once Princess Erruo returns, the emperor will immediately order the marriage.

And the first tough battle that Full Moon has to experience by the Queen Mother's side is to welcome Princess Erruo back.

——

Three days later, Princess Erruo came to Kyoto, the full moon was busy in Yanxi Palace for a day, in the evening, left Yanxi Palace in a carriage, only to go out of the palace gate, I saw a carriage parked in front, and Nian Zheng sat in front of the car.

Seeing this, Full Moon told the coachman to go home first, she still had something to do. When the coachman had gone away, she came to the carriage opposite.

"Linghu Female Officer, Your Royal Highness Fifth has been waiting for a long time, please."

Nian Zheng said, raising the curtain.

Full Moon nodded, and stepped into the carriage.

The carriage was dimly lit, and he sat there, unable to see clearly, and it seemed that she was a little thinner than the last time they had met.

"Your Highness." She spoke softly, and Lin Dongyao raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were soft.

"How is the preparation of Cining Palace for the welcome work three days later?" He spoke in a deep voice, a somewhat low tone.

"Thanks to the help of the female officer Rongle, I can cope with it." So says the full moon.

"Princess Erruo is the youngest daughter of her father's younger brother and the king of the Western Regions, although the king of the Western Regions and her father are not brothers, the relationship is better than a qiē, so whether it is the queen mother or the father, they all regard Erruo as the flesh and blood of the royal family, and give her the status of a princess. Originally, he was going to wait for Erruo to return to Kyoto when he was sixteen years old, but now that something happened in Kyoto, the king of the Western Regions was also worried about his father and the queen mother, so he set off early and rushed to Kyoto from the Western Regions. If you are the crown princess that your father and grandmother are most satisfied with, if she knows that the prince has been very close to you, she is afraid that she will deliberately seek trouble for you. ”

In fact, Lin Dongyao asked Rong Le to pass on these words, but in that case, he would have no reason to see her.

Listening to his words, Full Moon was silent for a while.

This princess Erruo never appeared in the previous life! It's a person she doesn't have any impression of.

She is more familiar with the King of the Western Regions, but in the previous life, the King of the Western Regions only had a young son and no daughter.

She's a complete stranger to Erruo! And because the king of the Western Regions is too well protected, the impression of people outside on Er Ruo is only that of Bing Xue's smart and beautiful appearance, and they don't know anything about her temperament.

"His Royal Highness Xie Wu reminded that the full moon understood. Tomorrow I will do my duty and do my own thing. ”

"I know that you have always been very measured, but if you are not better than others, even if it is obvious that she is doing something wrong, I am afraid that my father and the queen mother will also favor her, no matter what, you have to be more careful. I have already told Rong Le that she will make a move at a critical moment. ”

Lin Dongyao is like a father who tells a child who is about to go out at the moment, he has always cherished words like gold, and he is particularly verbose today.

"I understand what Your Highness means, Your Highness is worried that your body has not recovered yet, and you can't help me out of the siege as soon as possible, but if Rong Le makes a move, it will be equivalent to blocking the difficulties for me, I don't want to affect others because of this, so let Rong Le help me in secret."

Hearing the full moon say this, Lin Dongyao was not much surprised.

After all, with her character, it's not surprising to say so.

"Whatever you want." Lin Dongyao nodded.

"Your Highness, is there anything else?" Full Moon asked him softly.

"Can't you sit down without anything else?" Lin Dongyao raised his eyebrows, Full Moon always felt that his tone was a little tired, but the eyes he looked at her were indescribably bright.

"Your Highness, don't get me wrong, I see that your body has not yet recovered, and I don't want to affect Your Highness's rest."

"I'm out of the way, you finally know how to care about me, how can I be okay?" A certain highness followed the words of the full moon, and the full moon was suddenly speechless.

"I've prepared some snacks, let's go with me when I'm done." Almost as soon as his words fell, Nian Zheng had already placed the prepared snacks in the carriage.

Lin Dongyao took the opportunity to uncover the four night pearls that were hidden around the carriage, and a moment of gentle light illuminated the carriage. Full Moon looked up at Lin Dongyao, and although it was in such a soft light, his face was still worrisomely pale.

"If the investigation is correct, these are your favorite foods, if not, I will order someone to drag Nian Zheng out and take the fifty boards seriously."

A certain master said it easily, but someone outside the carriage was terrified.

What if the fox girl has changed her taste recently? Wouldn't he want—

"Your Highness is too worried, the full moon is not picky. Your Highness, please. "The words of the full moon reassured Nian Zheng.

Inside the carriage, under the soft light, only the sound of chewing was heard, and no other sound was heard. The two of them really managed to eat without saying a word.

After using the refreshments, the full moon saw that there were beads of sweat oozing from Lin Dongyao's forehead, and he didn't feel a little puzzled.

"Your Highness, are you not feeling well?"

"It doesn't matter. It's already dark, I'll send you back. ”

"Your Highness." The carriage of the Hou Mansion had already gone back, and it was really inconvenient for her to go back alone, so she did not refuse.

"How is His Highness recovering from his injuries?" Full Moon asked seemingly casually.

Outside the carriage, the young politician who was driving was stunned and almost stopped the carriage.

In the car, Lin Dongyao had a relieved and casual expression.

"It takes 100 days to break your muscles and bones, and you will have to recuperate for at least a few months."

"Your Royal Highness is not feeling well, and she specially came out to inform Princess Erruo of the full moon, in fact, in the future, Your Highness can let the female official Rongle notify me."

The full moon saw him in a cold sweat, as if he was very uncomfortable after sitting for a long time, so he said so.

But in Lin Dongyao's ears, it has another meaning.

"Linghu Full Moon, my heart for you has not changed from beginning to end, but recently, so many things have happened in Kyoto, and it seems that it is not suitable to talk about things between you and me. You're smart, I don't need to say much, I'll always be waiting for you. ”

After Lin Dongyao said these words, he slowly closed his eyes, and there was silence in the carriage.

The full moon looked away, but his heart was a little chaotic.

The carriage stopped steadily outside the door of the Hou Mansion, watching her thin and slender back walk into the Hou Mansion, Lin Dongyao could no longer support it, his body leaned heavily on the back of the chair, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead.

"Your Highness, your subordinates will drive back immediately, Your Highness, you can hold on a little longer." Nian Zheng didn't dare to delay and drove away.

His Royal Highness's body is not suitable for sitting for such a long time, even if he is in a wheelchair, it cannot exceed a quarter of an hour, but in order to accompany the fox girl for a while, His Royal Highness has been enduring the pain.

The pressure of the cervical spine was pressed on the bone he was injured, and the pain could be imagined. And His Royal Highness, in order to do his best, did not need to boil hemp, and gritted his teeth to endure every pain attack.

When the carriage returned to Xuanji Palace, Lin Dongyao, the political general of the year, helped him down from the car, and he was shocked to realize that the clothes on Lin Dongyao's body had been soaked with sweat.

Nian Zheng sighed in his heart, His Royal Highness did this, but the fox girl didn't know it!

——

At the same time, the Prince's Mansion

In the study, the sour branch wood desk was full of folds, but Lin Jian's vision was wandering and he didn't know where to go.

It seemed to be the place where she used to sit before the full moon, and she leaned over to practice her calligraphy and arrangement, and every part of the room was filled with her figure and breath.

He was reluctant to let her go! But so far I haven't found a way to face her!

She is such a clear-minded person, she can't rub sand in her eyes! If she knew that the matter between Linghu Qiuyu and Aunt Wu was that he deliberately stumbled in secret, with her temperament, she would no longer have the slightest trust in herself.

was originally an ethereal relationship, but because of what he did behind his back, it was completely ruined.

"Your Highness."

At this time, Song Nan's voice sounded outside the door.

"Come in." Lin Jian adjusted his emotions and said in a deep voice.

The door of the study opened, and Song Nan pushed the door in and saw Lin Jian's cold and gloomy face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Where did the once-casual and smiling Prince go?

"Your Highness, today is the Hou Mansion where His Royal Highness sent the fox girl back to the palace. The Fifth Highness has now returned to Xuanji Palace, and his subordinates overheard the conversation between the imperial doctor and Concubine An, and the Fifth Highness is seriously injured, and he may not be able to do without a wheelchair in the future. ”

Song Nan truthfully reported the news he heard.

Lin Jian heard it but didn't have a relaxed expression.

"Got it, you step aside."

"Your Highness, in fact, you still take the initiative to explain the truth to the Linghu Lady, maybe she-"

"Stand down!"

Without waiting for Song Nan to finish speaking, Lin Jian interrupted him coldly.

Song Nan had to quickly exit the study.

Outside the study, Song Nan shook his head silently at Su Kang.

Su Kang sighed helplessly, and the two were speechless for a while.

In the study, Lin Jian looked at the full moon and books, and for a moment, all kinds of indescribable tastes came to his heart.

He had indeed found the two bodies before her.

But when she went to see Lin Dongyao in the other courtyard, he found the whereabouts of Linghu Qiuyu and Aunt Wu, and he really wanted to ask for merit in front of her, in order to occupy a more important and useful position in her mind.

But she saw Lin Dongyao!

They all avoided him that day! Coupled with the fact that he found those two corpses in Lin Dongyao's courtyard, he already understood the whole process!

It's just one step away!

No! It's half a step!

Half a step only! He could turn the whole situation around!

But Lin Dongyao took the lead!

If you explain, it is tantamount to acquiescing to him doing things and arranging eyeliner around the full moon, but he doesn't say anything, and they already know each other! Lin Dongyao's courtyard is such a hidden place, if it is not a master who is even more powerful than Su Kang, how can he find it?

It's just that his people were half a step late when they found Linghu Qiuyu and Aunt Wu, and the ending was completely different!

Could he really not keep her?

Is it a heart, or a person?

——

Linghu Hou Mansion, Pujia Pavilion

As soon as the full moon came back, I saw Linghu Qiuyu waiting in the courtyard, and when I saw her back, I called respectfully,

"Big sister."

Today's Linghu Qiuyu is obviously much more mature and stable than before after experiencing a series of things.

In fact, she was originally a righteous but frizzy and violent temper, and only after several tests of life and death could she wake up to the rules of survival in the Gaomen compound.

"Come in and sit down." Full Moon beckoned to her softly and walked into the house first.

Full Moon raised her hand to signal Ning Jing and Ximeng to retreat, and she and Linghu Qiuyu were left in the house.

"How is Aunt Wu's health lately?" The full moon was the first to ask.

A trace of complicated feelings flashed in Ling Fox Qiuyu's eyes, and he immediately said softly,

"It's still the same, my mother blocked the poison needle for me that day, two poison needles, one in the chest and one in the shoulder, it is a miracle that she survived."

The events of that day were only known to Linghu Qiuyu. But she didn't shy away from telling the truth about the full moon.

When she returned, she had already told the full moon the ins and outs of the matter.

On that day, the two family members thought that she and her mother would definitely die, and since the rebels had already rushed into the Hou Mansion, the family did not do much to check, so she waited for the two to go away, and then took her mother and hid in the old lady's courtyard. She remembered that before the old lady died, there were many precious medicinal herbs hidden in the yard, and there were several thousand-year-old ginseng alone.

She also rushed to the doctor in a hurry, and gave Aunt Wu the medicinal materials used by the old lady to prolong her life before she died, although she finally saved Aunt Wu's life, but Aunt Wu became like she is eating like this.

"If you don't die, there will be a blessing, you will take care of Aunt Wu in the future, the two family members who harmed you are dead, and now there is no proof of death, and even if they are alive, they may not dare to speak."

Full Moon's tone was light, but it made Hu Qiuyu angry, but she was now more able to suppress her temper than ever.

"Big sister, I understand. I'll be careful. ”

"You understand the best, in the recent period, I will be busy with things in the palace, and the people who hurt you and Aunt Wu will definitely take advantage of the time when I am not busy with my father, you have to be careful, be completely prepared, even if you can't fight back, you must ensure that you are not caught by the other party."

The full moon reminded her in a deep voice.

"Got it, big sister."

"Is there anything else?" Seeing that Linghu Qiuyu was still sitting there, the full moon looked at her strangely.

"Eldest sister, I heard that Duke Er Ruo, who came back in a few days, mainly pointed it out to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is it true?" Linghu Qiuyu asked her curiously.

"At present, this is indeed the plan of the emperor and the queen mother. What is this, you ask? ”

"Eldest sister, I'm just a little confused, this is the desert Gobi and the Western Regions, why are the people who have come back recently who haven't been back to Kyoto for many years? Didn't there be a Li Jingtian a while ago? Why are they like they have made an appointment, maybe they are all for one purpose, or for one person? ”

Linghu Qiuyu was completely unintentional, but the full moon listened to it, but his heart was violently chuckled.

She didn't dare to admit how much charm and ability she had to make people thousands of miles away receive the news and take action, but Qiu Yu's words did remind her that it seemed that when looking at this matter, her perspective should be changed.

The emperor has a close relationship with the king of the Western Regions, and the relationship between Pang Rui and the emperor is inexplicable, since they are all people valued by the emperor, if the emperor pulls the strings from it, wouldn't it be the cooperation between Pang Rui and the king of the Western Regions?

Pang Rui and the King of the Western Regions?

Pang Rui and Erruo?

The full moon strung these names together, and something suddenly came to mind.

"Sister, did I say something wrong?" Linghu Qiuyu suddenly raised his eyebrows when he saw the full moon, and he was a little worried about whether he had said the wrong thing and provoked the eldest sister.

"Nope! You're right, you helped me! Full Moon stood up and looked at her with a smile.

Linghu Qiuyu was confused, and muttered quietly,

"I'm so stupid, it's okay if I don't get you into trouble, how can I help you."
