At night, the moon and stars are scarce.

Thinking that he was going to go on the expedition the next day, Murong Chenhe secretly sneaked into Runxin Courtyard, Xiao Yuelan's room.

"You, what are you doing at night?"

Xiao Yuelan put down the herbs in her hand and asked in surprise.

Murong Chenhe touched his nose and pretended to be calm and said:

"I'm leaving tomorrow, come and see you tonight. Don't you have anything to give me? ”

Isn't it just a journey?

It's not the first time.

What can I give?

Xiao Yuelan pursed her lips, casually took out a few bottles of gold sore medicine from the cabinet, and said:

"Here you go, be careful on the road."

Murong Chenhe thought that he might be scolded, but in fact, he just said it casually, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good, not only was he not beaten, but he could really get something.

However, how is it a gold sore medicine? What kind of good medicine is not in the barracks?

Murong Chenhe said with some dissatisfaction:

"What kind of purse do people send when they go on the expedition, embroidered handkerchief, why do you give me gold sore medicine? Don't you have any purse? Yuelan, can you help me embroider a purse? ”

Xiao Yuelan twitched the corners of her mouth coldly, and said indifferently:

"When have you ever seen me embroider a purse? If you love it, let it go! ”

Something is better than nothing!

Anyway, after so many years, I finally got what Yuelan sent for a while.

Murong Chenhe was afraid that Xiao Yuelan would regret it, so he hurriedly put the gold sore medicine into his arms.

Xiao Yuelan sat back in front of the shelf and began to take care of the herbs.

Murong Chenhe thought that he was going to leave tomorrow, but Xiao Yuelan ignored him, and couldn't help but feel a little lost, and said sadly:

"Yuelan, won't you talk to me? I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. ”

Xiao Yuelan nodded, but the work in her hand did not fall at all, and said:

"I know, I'm not talking to you? What's wrong? ”

Murong Chenhe held his forehead, squatted on the ground, grabbed Xiao Yuelan's hand, and a fresh smell of herbs came to his nose.

Xiao Yuelan frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly:

"Chenhyuk? What's wrong with you today? ”

What else could have happened?

Of course I miss you,

I can't bear you,

I'd like to hear if you're like me.

Murong Chenhe lowered his head and kissed Xiao Yuelan's hand, and said:

"Yuelan, I'm reluctant to leave, as long as I think about you staying in the capital alone, I don't want to leave."

"Hahaha,"

Xiao Yuelan couldn't help laughing and said:

"It's not your first time on the expedition, and it's not the first time we've known each other. You just do the same as you always have. ”

Murong Chenhe shook his head and said seriously:

"This time is different, this time it's for the future of the two of us. I can't take it as an ordinary expedition. Yuelan, you must wait for me to come back. ”

Xiao Yuelan suddenly felt her heart skip a beat, and nodded unconsciously.

Murong Chenhe happily hugged Xiao Yuelan, and the small kiss fell on Yin Hong's lips.

It wasn't until Xiao Yuelan couldn't breathe that Murong Chenhe let go of her, stuffed a piece of jade with the word "Chen" in her hand, and said happily:

"Yuelan, you agreed, you really agreed, great. This is my jade pendant, you hold it as if I were by your side every day. If something happens to the capital, you can take it to Wen Yi and Wu Yi, and my army can be dispatched as you like. ”

Xiao Yuelan was so frightened that she hurriedly returned the jade pendant, shook her head and said:

"Chenhe, this is absolutely unacceptable. If the emperor knows, he will punish you. If you don't worry about Jingli, you can also hand over such an important jade pendant to Prince Ying, and this jade pendant will definitely play the biggest role in his hands. ”

Murong Chenhe wrapped his big palm around Xiao Yuelan's slender jade hand, and said firmly:

"You are my future wife, I believe in you, and I know that you are capable enough to afford this jade pendant. Don't reject me, Yuelan. ”

Xiao Yuelan hesitated and waved the jade pendant in her hand and asked:

"Chenhe, don't you really regret it?"

Murong Chenhe nodded and said affirmatively:

"I don't regret it, I must return triumphantly, marry you, and keep it for the rest of my life."

Xiao Yuelan took a deep breath and said:

"If, if I want you not to take concubines in the future, not to marry a wife, and have a couple for the rest of your life, are you willing?"

Murong Chenhe said excitedly:

"I do, of course I do. Yuelan, I just want to be with you. ”

Xiao Yuelan took the jade pendant into her arms and said seriously:

"Okay, this is the promise you made today, if you regret it in the future, then I will not hesitate to kill you."

Murong Chenhe touched his neck and said:

"Then I've got to take care of my neck so he doesn't fall off."

"Poof!"

Xiao Yuelan covered her mouth and smiled:

"Poor mouth is the best. Okay, you can go back and rest, it's not early, and you have to go on the road tomorrow. ”

Murong Chenhe smiled like a child, and said happily:

"Great, Yuelan is starting to feel sorry for me."

Xiao Yuelan brushed it, her face turned red, and she glared and said:

"Are you going or not? I'll knock you out if you don't go! ”

Murong Chenhe nodded happily and said:

"Go, go, I'll go back and rest."

"Wait a minute."

Xiao Yuelan awkwardly took out an embroidered handkerchief from the drawer, which she learned from Ning Die when she was still Yurun before, and said with a red face:

"Hmmm, take it. Don't laugh! ”

Murong Chenhe opened it and hurriedly held back a smile.

What is it?

Is it a duck?

Or what critter?

However, as long as it is sent by Yuelan, it is the best.

Murong Chenhe grabbed Xiao Yuelan and said softly:

"Yuelan, I won't laugh at you, what you give me is the best in the world. Thank you, Yuelan. Wait for me to come back. ”

Xiao Yuelan was buried in Murong Chenhe's arms, nodded, and said:

"Hmm."

The next day, it was dawn and there were hardly any pedestrians on the road.

Murong Chenhe said goodbye to Prince Ying who was crying profusely, and Prince Ying who was full of worry, rode his mount, and ran to southern Xinjiang alone.

But what Murong Chenhe didn't know was that on the wall of the capital, there was a beautiful shadow standing.

Chenhe, you can leave with confidence.

I'll keep this city for you.

May you keep your promises,

Otherwise, even to the ends of the earth, I will kill you.

Xiao Yuelan held the jade pendant in her hand, and did not turn around and leave until Murong Chenhe's figure disappeared from sight.

Dali Temple

Murong Jianchang timidly hid behind Gonggong Hu and did not dare to go in. Thinking of what he was going to do next, Murong Jianchang trembled.

Last night, after Murong Jianchang woke up, Gonggong Hu first asked him to wash up and replace his previous brocade robe with a fat powder smell.

But then began Murong Jianchang's nightmare.

Gonggong Hu looked Murong Jianchang up and down, and said with satisfaction:

"Sure enough, people rely on clothes, horses and saddles, and the third son's dress is also magnificent."

Murong Jianchang touched the clothes on his body, and sure enough, it was better than what he wore before, I don't know how many grades.

It's just that Gonggong Hu is suddenly like this, could it be that his father has something to do by himself?

Murong Jianchang asked worriedly:

"Grandpa Hu, this, this dress is good, but it doesn't seem to be my size, right? I'm wearing something big. ”

Grandpa Hu said with a smile:

"It's really not your size, this is the clothes of the little prince before his death. Third son, you should know what happened in the house, right? ”

Dead man's clothes?

I don't know if my eldest brother was wearing this when he died.

Suddenly, a chill hit his heart, and Murong Jianchang had a bad intuition in his heart, there must be something bad waiting for him in the future.

Gonggong Hu glanced at Murong Jianchang, who was too frightened to speak, with disdain, and said:

"Third son, you don't have to be so afraid. Some things seem to be bad things, but if they happen to be in time, they may become good things. Who can say the things of this world? Isn't that right, the third son? ”

Murong Jianchang swallowed his saliva and asked carefully:

"Grandpa Hu, why did you give me the clothes of my eldest brother? Does my father want me to pretend to be the eldest brother? ”

Alas, the seed that crawled out of the belly of the courtesan was not as good as the little prince born to the old princess from the big family.

This Ning Wangfu doesn't know how long it can last with Lao Ning King alone.

Grandpa Hu shook his head helplessly and said:

"The master's meaning is obvious, now that the little prince is dead, the palace must choose a suitable person to be the new King Ning. Now it seems that the third prince has also had a period of experience in the court, and your advantages are also obvious. So the master still values you very much. ”

this

Is it true?

Murong Jianchang's nervous mood immediately disappeared, and he looked at the clothes he was wearing with a smile, and said:

"Thank you for my father's love, I will not disappoint his expectations."

Believe it in a few words?

Gonggong Hu was a little melancholy and a little happy, sad that Ning Wangfu could no longer find a better person, and happy that tomorrow's things could finally be settled.

"The master naturally believes in the third prince, so there is a place tomorrow that needs the third prince to visit."

At this time, Murong Jianchang had already eliminated his defense, and said as a matter of course:

"Tell me, where my father wants me to go, I can't say anything."

Grandpa Hu said with a smile:

"The master wants you to go to Dali Temple and cooperate with Dali Temple to investigate the case."

Dali Temple?

Investigating the case?

Check the cause of Big Brother's death?

Murong Jianchang asked a little overwhelmed:

"Is it the cause of Brother Cha's death?"

Gonggong Hu shook his head and said:

"Check the little prince to sell his official position to collect money, the master wants the third prince to go over, no matter what the other party says, what coercion you use, you have to stay calm, bite to death and say I don't know. If you talk nonsense, I'm afraid that not only the entire Ning Wangfu, but also your little family will be gone. Collecting money and selling officials is a big crime of raiding homes and killing heads. If King Ning's Mansion is gone, then your good days will come to an end. ”

Murong Jianchang was so frightened that he fainted directly, and when he woke up, he had already arrived at the gate of Dali Temple, and the big sun outside told him that it was the second day.

"Third son, you must remember what I told you. Alright, you get out of the car. ”

Gonggong Hu ignored the frightened Murong Jianchang, and opened the curtain to let him get out of the carriage.

Murong Jianchang shook his head again and again and said:

"No, I'm too cowardly, I can't do this. Father-in-law Hu, let your father change to someone else. There are so many sons of the father, there must be a more suitable one. ”

Gonggong Hu dragged Murong Jianchang off the carriage and advised:

"Third son, you are the person that the master values, don't let the master down. If the people inside ask why the master didn't come, you say that the master is suffering from a bad disease and can't get out of bed, so you come for the master. ”

Father is suffering from a serious disease?

It's not a joke, is it?

My father's body is estimated to be able to fight tigers!

Murong Jianchang obviously didn't believe what Gonggong Hu said, and said:

"Father's body is sick? What if, if the people of Dali Temple don't believe what I say? After all, my father has always been in good health. ”

Gonggong Hu patted Murong Jianchang on the shoulder and said:

"If the people of Dali Temple don't believe it, let them send the imperial doctor. The master is indeed bedridden, and he asked the imperial doctor to come this morning. ”
