"Brother Xiao is coming back?!" Mu Yelai was surprised and delighted, and almost knocked over the teacup in his hand.

The crown princess glanced at her, sat back on the rosewood couch, pointed to the brocade stool in front of her, and said, "You can sit too." ”

Mu Yelai thanked the crown princess and sat down diagonally in front of her.

The crown princess looked down at the celadon tea bowl in her hand and was stunned for a while.

Seeing this, the palace maids in the dormitory knew that the crown princess had something to say to Lady Mu, so they bowed down one after another.

There are only two people left in the huge dormitory, the crown princess and Mu Yelai.

The crown princess raised her head and looked at the layers of Shu brocade curtains in the dormitory, which were brilliant and silent, and she was a rich and unparalleled royal style, but in her eyes, it was as cold as a winter cellar.

Here, she has much more power than in her previous life, but the men around her are getting farther and farther away from her.

Maybe it's the same every time, power and men, you can't have both.

The crown prince is more ruthless than Xiao Shihe in his previous life.

Xiao Shiji was just silent, but the prince was indifferent......

The crown princess was stunned for a while, settled down, and looked at Mu Yelai.

Mu Yelai's face was half happy and half uneasy.

This favorite concubine of Xiao Shiji in his previous life, but he ended up like that in the end. In this life, with her own help to her, her road will definitely go smoother.

Besides, who cares if she goes well or not, as long as she can respond to Du Hengshuang.

The crown princess sneered in her heart, took Mu Yelai's hand, and said in a low voice: "I heard from this palace that you plan to let the noble concubine help you." Ask Your Majesty to let you and Du Hengshuang go together? ”

Mu Yelai was taken aback and was about to refute, but looking at the princess's knowing eyes, she couldn't speak, and was stunned for a long time, so she had to say: "...... Of course, it's best to be like this, but it also depends on what Brother Xiao thinks. After a pause, Mu Yelai said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the husband is the sky, as long as Brother Xiao is not embarrassed." I can do anything. A wife is still a concubine. I don't care, as long as I can be by Brother Xiao's side, I will be content for the rest of my life. ”

The crown princess nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is the right reason." Hongu advises you not to be in too much of a hurry. At present, Du Hengshuang is still the most beautiful woman in Chang'an City. She is the original match. Three more children were born. You want to be on an equal footing with her now, I'm afraid it's not that easy. ”

Mu Yelai lowered his head and said softly, "The crown princess is right. ”

"You're the most important thing right now. It's to enter Xiao's house. Whether you are a wife or a concubine, you must cook raw rice and mature rice. "The crown princess is categorical.

Mu Yelai was a little unwilling, and said in a daze: "But once you become a concubine, your name has been decided, and I will ...... in the future." But it's hard to turn over. ”

"How so?" The crown princess said angrily, "With this palace here, are you still afraid that you won't be able to turn over?" - As long as the crown prince ......, you can't do whatever you want? This is a hint that Mu Yelai will come, as long as the prince ascends the throne, Mu Yelai will think about merging, which is a matter of the prince's words.

Mu Yelai's heart sank. She knew that the crown prince was defeated in the hands of Prince Yi in his last life.

Will this life be different?

She didn't dare to say that it would be completely different, but judging from her experience with Du Hengshuang, many things are different, maybe the prince will really win in this life, because of Brother Xiao to help him?

"So, tonight, you followed the crown prince to see the Marquis of Zhuguo, and you went quietly...... When you meet the Marquis of Zhu, you have to seize the opportunity. I heard that the Marquis of Zhu Guohou has been in Jiangnan for more than five months, and he has never been close to women. Tonight, this is your chance. The crown princess said meaningfully, and handed a small paper bag to her, "Take it, this is cardamom powder, which is only effective for men." You mix it with water, add it to the bath water, soak it for an hour, and then rub it with the incense powder of the acacia flower. These two things are mixed together to make your wish come true tonight. The crown princess commanded.

She couldn't wait. Mu Yelai has been tossing for so long, and the door of the Xiao family is still out of touch, so she has to push her.

Mu Yelai took the medicine powder handed over by the crown princess with a flushed face, and said in a low voice: "...... Where will it be tonight? ”

"Yuelai Inn about ten miles outside Chang'an City. The prince will only go with one of his henchmen in disguise, and you will pretend to be his maid. The crown princess instructed carefully.

When Mu Yelai heard that it was in the inn, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Marquis of Zhu is a decent person. If he takes advantage of you, no matter how Du Hengshuang opposes, he will admit you to the door. If you can get a man in one fell swoop, it's even better. The crown princess smiled and watched Mu Yelai put away the medicinal powder.

Although Mu Yelai was a little reluctant, but thinking that if he didn't do so, maybe Brother Xiao was afraid that Du Hengshuang would be unhappy, and if she really couldn't go up or down, wouldn't she let her hang for the rest of her life?

"But, what if Brother Xiao is unwilling?" Mu Yelai was a little uneasy, she knew that Xiao Shi and this person's temper were a little uncertain. When it's good, it can hold you up to the sky, but when it's annoying, it can stay with you for more than ten days, and I don't even look at you. If he doesn't want to do something, he can't force it.

The crown princess covered her sleeves and smiled: "Don't worry! He has been in the army for four or five months, and now he sees sows like sables, not to mention a beautiful woman like you, who has never touched it. Men are greedy for freshness, not to mention that he is not ruthless to you? ”

Mu Yelai blushed, bowed his head and said, "...... Where is it so good as the crown princess said? "Actually, I think so.

"Okay, you don't want to go back today, pack up here in the palace, and go out of the city with the prince before it gets dark." The crown princess commanded, got up and called the palace maid in, "Send the female official Mu to her house, so that she can serve." ”

Two palace maids walked in and took Mu Ye to her house on the princess's side.

Mu Yelai began to pack up and dress himself, just waiting to see Xiao Shiji in the evening.

As soon as Zhu Susu and Du Hengshuang left the imperial city, they went to Jingzhao Yin's mansion.

Coming to the mansion of the Xu family in Jingzhao Yin, Zhu Susu and Du Hengshuang were led to Xu Yanchao's house by the descendants of the Xu family.

He had woken up, had just drunk a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, and although he was still very weak, his complexion had improved a lot.

Zhu Susu gave him a pulse. He prescribed a few prescriptions to replenish qi and blood, and said, "You must eat it on time, otherwise you may leave symptoms and linger for a lifetime." ”

When Xu Yanchao heard this, he didn't dare to be careless, put away the hippie smiling expression in Su Ri, and said solemnly: "I will definitely remember to take the medicine well." ”

Zhu Susu handed the prescription to Fang Yuniang and asked her to watch the people decoction in person.

Of course, Fang Yuniang would not fake the hands of others, and immediately took someone to the pharmacy to grab the medicine according to the prescription, and decocted the medicine herself in the small kitchen.

It's busy here until it's almost evening. And they went their separate ways.

Anzi often took the opportunity to help Du Hengshuang get into the car. whispered in her ear: "Xiao Shihe went to the Yuelai Inn outside Chang'an City late tonight." Tomorrow when he enters the city with the army, His Majesty will go to the ten-mile pavilion outside the city to greet him in person. ”

Du Hengshuang was taken aback, "So fast?" She had estimated that it would take four or five days to work. Seemingly. The eldest prince of Muhou is there. She's going to be able to do it quickly.

Yasuko often nodded. Watching Du Hengshuang get into the car and sit down, "Don't worry, you'll be able to see you tomorrow." He said. smiled and waved at her, and watched the cart of the Marquis of Zhuguo go away.

Back in his car, Zhu Susu asked him, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

An Zichang nodded and said softly: "The Marquis of Zhu Guo will go to the outskirts of Chang'an tonight." Ming'er went into the city. ”

Zhu Susu breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his hands together and said, "Thank God, I'm finally back." Alas, it is true that there is no man in this house. Seeing Shuang'er supporting the portal alone, I was tired and panicked for her. ”

An Zichang smiled, noncommittal, lowered the curtain, and ordered the coachman to return to the Anguo Mansion.

It was late at night, and there were still several mansions in Chang'an City that were quietly lit up, and some people stayed up all night......

Mu Yelai disguised himself as a young man in green clothes in the evening, followed the prince and one of his most confidant men, and rode out of Chang'an City on a fast horse.

The prince was also disguised, pretending to be a foot-walking merchant, and Mu Yelai and his subordinates were the merchants' maids and guards.

The three of them ran wildly all the way, and soon came to the Yuelai Inn before dark, asked for two upper rooms to live in, and waited patiently.

As a result, Xiao Shiji arrived earlier than they expected.

Originally, Xiao Shiji would not arrive at the Yuelai Inn until late at night, but as soon as it was dark, the prince's henchmen came in ecstatically and replied: "Uncle, he is here!" "Because he is dressed in disguise, the prince's subordinates only call him uncle.

The prince hurriedly rushed out.

Mu Yelai's heart was pounding, and he hurriedly returned to the upper room specially prepared for her, took out the incense powder of the acacia flower, untied his clothes, and pounced on his neck, shoulders, chest, thighs, and private parts.

then changed into a moon-white silk shirt with double forest silk, and waited for Xiao Shiji to come in to see her.

When the prince came downstairs to the inn, he saw a tall and burly man in a navy blue robe with narrow sleeves sitting in an inconspicuous place against the wall downstairs, drinking himself with a small wine glass.

The prince walked over happily, stood opposite him and arched his hand: "This brother, can you make a table?" ”

The man slowly raised his head, and the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of long eyebrows with sideburns, and a pair of deep eyes under the eyebrow bones, black and blue, it was Xiao Shiji, who had not seen him for a long time. He looked up and saw that it was the crown prince who had arrived, and a smile appeared on his face.

Four or five months of life in Jiangnan seemed to add a touch of detail to his arrogance and made his demeanor more calm, but perhaps it was just one victory after another that gave him a lot of confidence. Compared with the impatient and reckless advance that suffered from gains and losses in the past, he looks more like a general leading the army now.

The prince patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, sat down opposite him, asked for a few side dishes, a pot of wine, and talked with him in a low voice while eating.

No matter how you look at them, these two people are ordinary merchants, eating cheap food, drinking rough wine, and talking about business.

The prince's henchmen sat at a table behind them, ordering food and drink, while watching the movements around them vigilantly.

After finishing the business, the prince smiled and chatted: "You are really good, you can spoil a person so much." - 100,000 taels of silver, and sent it away without blinking an eye. Tsk, everyone said that Mu Yelai was your favorite concubine......"

Xiao Shiji was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Mu Ye came to borrow silver, and he wrote to Du Hengshuang to ask Mu Ye to simply send Mu Ye 100,000 taels of silver, and waved his hand with a busy smile: "That's to see that her family is difficult, help her." What spoils a concubine and doesn't spoil a concubine? You say that, but you ruin her reputation. I can't marry in the future, but I want you to call the shots for her. ”

The prince thought that Xiao Shiji was embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "Be the master." Well said, well said! ”

It's already dark, and more and more people are coming to join the stack.

The two of them talked nonsense about the wind and moon between the men again, and the prince smiled and said, "Look at your blue hair and unshaven beard, are you in a hurry?" ”

"I'll tell you the truth, I haven't slept in a few nights." Xiao Shiji laughed and yawned. He's been sleepless for a few nights. He first rushed to the place agreed with Prince Yi, and had already met Prince Yi secretly. Discuss the countermeasures against the crown prince. Then I rushed to this Yuelai Inn. Meet the prince again, so that the prince's heart can be appeased. Now he just wants to find a place to get some good sleep.

"Look you're tired, go ahead, go ahead. There's an upper room upstairs for you, so you can rest all night. Tomorrow we will join your army. The prince smiled. Get up and walk up the stairs first. It's already dark. The gates of Chang'an City were closed, and he could not return to the city, so he could only stay here for one night. I'll go into town early tomorrow morning.

Xiao Shiji nodded and followed the prince up the stairs.

"Your house is over here, you can go. - I'm in the next room. The prince pointed to the innermost upper room in the corridor.

Although Xiao Shiji was extremely tired, but due to many years of habit, when he arrived in a strange place, his whole body was tense, not to mention the six ways of seeing and listening to all directions, and he was almost inseparable.

As soon as the prince pointed to the room, he intently heard the sound of thin breathing coming from inside. - Shortness and subtlety of breathing, it should be the breathing of a woman, and there is no effort......

Xiao Shiji was relieved, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go sleep for a while, I'm really tired." ”

The prince grinned and watched Xiao Shiji push open the door and walk in.

"Brother Xiao!" Mu Yelai's voice came out, and then the door slammed shut.

The prince put away the smile on his face, glanced at the door with disdain, and shook his head back to his room. - Xiao Shi and this general are really easier to subdue than he imagined. The men of the Hanmen Shu clan are probably like this......

In this room, as soon as Xiao Shiji entered the door, he saw Mu Yelai turn out from behind the screen, calling his name and pounced on him.

Xiao Shiji was startled, quickly closed the door with his hand, and then blocked Mu Yelai's mouth and said, "What are you screaming?!" ”

Mu Yelai nodded in his big palm.

Xiao Shiji put down his hand and sighed: "The crown princess asked you to come?" "Needless to say, it's a good idea from the crown princess again......

Mu Yelai's cheeks were crimson, only to know that Lu Dao kept nodding and couldn't speak excitedly.

Xiao Shiji looked at her appearance, became more and more apologetic, shook his head and said, "Okay, I still have something to do, you can rest." As he spoke, he turned around and opened the door to leave.

"Brother Xiao!" Mu Yelai was in a hurry, and suddenly pounced, hugged Xiao Shiji's waist from behind, and the whole person was close behind him, whimpering: "Brother Xiao, don't go...... Don't leave me ......"

A faint fragrance wafted out from Mu Yelai's body.

Xiao Shiji grabbed the latch in his hand, stood silently for a while, and finally exhaled a breath, put down the latch, and forcefully broke the fingers that Mu Yelai was holding his waist one by one, turned her around and pushed her away from his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Mu San, why are you so troubled?" ”

Mu Yelai smiled with tears in his eyes, looked up at Xiao Shiji, and said, "Brother Xiao, you don't know my mind. I also know your heart, and you have mine in your heart, right? ”

Xiao Shiji shook his head helplessly and said, "That's different. Miss Mu San, I am grateful for your life-saving grace, but I can't repay your kindness in this life. - I have a wife and children, a woman like you, being a concubine is wronged by you......"

Mu Yelai shouted in fear: "No! Don't be aggrieved! If I can stay by your side as a concubine, I am willing to be a concubine! ”

Xiao Shiji found that he couldn't say it clearly, so he was very helpless, and couldn't help scratching his head, feeling irritable.

He was tired and tired, and he could fall asleep when he walked, but he was pestered by Mu Yelai to say such things, and the expression on his face gradually became unsightly.

Seeing this, Mu Yelai's whole body was pasted again.

This time, the scent on her body was even more pronounced by the heat.

Xiao Shiji smelled this fragrance, and was rubbed by Mu Yelai's soft body, and the female body, which had not been close for a long time, suddenly reacted.

His snort gradually became heavier, and he suddenly understood that he was in the way, and he had seen this kind of thing when he was mixing in the underworld before...... He took two deep breaths, restrained his impulse, pushed Mu Yelai hard, frowned, and said, "I can't take advantage of you......" turned around and opened the door, went down the stairs from the corridor like the wind, rushed to the outside of the inn and led his horse, urging the horse to gallop towards Chang'an City.

The cool evening breeze blew on his face, and the heat on his body faded somewhat, but the desire in his chest grew stronger. - The last time he rained was with Du Hengshuang before he set out......

Thinking of the ingenuity and excitement of that time, Xiao Shiji's body suddenly seemed to be on fire, and even his cheeks turned red.

He galloped wildly, and finally came to the gate of Chang'an City.

Throwing the reins in his hand, he found the battlement of the city gate and jumped up.

It was he who opened the gate of Chang'an City and let the army of Daqi enter the city. It couldn't be easier for him to do that now.

Chang'an at night is already under curfew.

Xiao Shiji walked through the streets and alleys like a ghost, and finally came to his Zhuguo Marquis's Mansion.

Looking at the door of his house, Xiao Shiji's heart was full of joy.

He jumped into the courtyard wall and ran to the backyard.

This is his home, where there are guards, where there are big dogs, he knows it clearly, so he didn't alarm anyone, and came to the gate of the courtyard where he and Du Hengshuang lived.

Similarly, he jumped in lightly and rushed to the door of Du Hengshuang's upper room.
