The prince nodded.

"Let me look at you again, my dear princess, we won't see each other for a while."

The prince said something serious and pretentious.

Early the next morning, Shen Lian had just had breakfast, and the things she had brought before leaving had been prepared, only a few silver tickets and a few pieces of jewelry, all of which were very valuable.

But she doesn't need to bring too many things, as long as she brings enough money, there is something she can't buy.

Now that everything is almost ready, it's time to hit the road.

But the two guards ordered by the prince should have arrived almost now.

Shen Lian was carrying a small box and was about to go out, but as soon as she walked out of the door, she saw two guards standing in front of the door, they were dressed in civilian clothes, tall and heroic, giving people a sense of security.

"Crown Princess, we are ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to escort you on the way."

Shen Lian nodded and said, "Come with me." ”

A guard helped Shen Lian carry the box, although the box was not heavy, but after carrying it for a long time, his arm would still be sore.

With such two tall guards, it is naturally much safer, otherwise a weak woman with so much currency and a box of treasures is not going to recruit thieves? Shen Lian held the token in his hand, and the group easily walked out of the palace under the pretext of going back to their hometown to visit.

After leaving the palace, Shen Lian told them to be careful, not to be reckless, and to usually call her Miss, not to easily reveal their identities.

The group first went to the hotel to rent a carriage, two guards drove the horses, and Shen Lian sat in the carriage alone, opening the curtains from time to time to look at the scene outside.

The three of them hurried during the day and rested at night, and after a few days, they finally came to the village where Jiang Yue was born.

is used to living in the palace, and her vision is naturally much higher.

Now she glanced around the ordinary house, the broken walls, the low houses, it was simply desolate.

Look at these simple fences made of wooden stakes, inside are low thatched huts, the walls are all made of earth, and the roofs are paved with straw.

These are very different from the carved beams and paintings seen in ordinary days, compared with Yuyu Qionglou.

The two guards placed the carriage at the entrance of the village, and Shen Lian walked into the village with the two guards.

Seeing these villagers wearing coarse cloth shorts, ragged clothes with many patches on them, it seems that they have been worn for many years.

A cowherd baby in the village was herding cattle on the hillside, looking at Shen Lian and the two entourage, his eyes lit up, and he glanced at this side from time to time.

Many of the men who were working in the fields, the men who were raising the livestock, had put aside what they were doing and focused their eyes on the three men.

The three well-dressed men had apparently become the focus of several villagers, and all eyes were focused on the three of them.

Although they were dressed ordinarily, they were all brand new clothes, bright in color, without any traces of sewing, and for these villagers, they were already worn by large families.

I watched an old man on crutches walking slowly, he was dressed ordinarily, with many patches on his clothes, his clothes had long been worn out and his figure was a little rickety.

"Girl, what are you doing here in our backwoods?" The old man's hoarse voice said slowly.

"I'm here to ask you about someone."

Shen Lian said softly.

Looking at this old man, Shen Lian felt an indescribable sadness.

At this time, the eyes of several men were focused on Shen Lian.

After all, such a woman with smooth and shiny hair, fair skin, and a pretty appearance can't be found even in the *courtyard.

This is the first time that many villagers have seen such a beautiful woman.

"Well, I'm the oldest person here, I know all the people in the village, and I can remember names."

The old man said slowly.

"You once had a guy named Jiang Yue here, right? I would like to ask about him. ”

Shen Lian said softly.

The old man thought for a moment, then stomped his foot angrily. U9 eBook

"This thing that has lost its conscience! It's a shame for us here! I've seen people here who don't fight for themselves, and I've seen people who have no conscience, but I've never seen anyone who has no conscience like this. ”

The old man was already very excited when he said this.

Shen Lian hurriedly helped the old man to sit down on a big stone on the side of the road.

The old man still had dust on her clothes and a foul smell on her body that made her hold her breath.

However, in order to inquire about Jiang Yue, she still held back.

"Please don't get excited, let's talk slowly."

Shen Lian said softly.

"It's a long story.

Since he was a child, he likes to do bad things, step on other people's crops, steal other people's chickens and ducks, and don't do good things.

When he was just an adult, he suddenly changed his bad habits, and we thought it was a good thing that he changed his ways.

Later, he studied medicine with a doctor named Dong Jiang, and later there were animals in our village who were poisoned from time to time, and he did it. ”

Shen Lian felt very uncomfortable when he heard the old man vomit bitter water, but he still held back and listened to the old man's words.

"This Jiang Yue is not a thing! It's just forgetting what is righteous, and now he is rich, but not only does he not care about us fellow villagers, but also does some bad things...... "After listening to half a pillar of incense, the old man does not feel dry."

Listening to what the old man said, it was similar to what Sun said that day, almost all of them were consistent.

Shen Lian was a little impatient and sent the old man away with some finely broken silver taels, then got into the carriage and left here.

After getting into the carriage, Shen Lian was still shaking off the dust on her clothes, and she just saw the scene of this village, which made her feel a little depressed.

But fortunately, I got some information.

It turns out that Jiang Yue is now in the valley of the cliff, and has become a well-known local poison doctor, who only recognizes the price and does not recognize people.

He usually only poisons bad guys, and he has to pay a huge amount of money to see him.

In this way, of course, only some nobles and merchants could afford to go to him.

"Let's go back to the inn and rest for a while, and then make plans tomorrow."

Shen Lian commanded.

"Yes, miss."

Pressing the loneliness in his heart, Xuanyuan Hao held Shen Lian's hand, showed a smile and said, "I believe in you in this life." ”

Involuntarily this sentence came out, Shen Lian blinked and looked at Xuanyuan Hao, he didn't expect that if he was so distracted, he would say it, and suddenly a flush appeared on his cheeks, and he glared at Xuanyuan Hao coquettishly.

Then, after the two of them were tired of being in the kitchen for a while, Xuanyuan Hao ordered someone to prepare, because the cliff was not close, and the sky was gradually darkening at this time, so he was ready to set off the next day.

In the evening, after Shen Lian took a bath, he was wearing a set of beige fur clothes, his long hair was wet on his right shoulder, sitting on the bed and wiping his hair carefully, Xuanyuan Hao came out of the screen and saw Shen Lian wiping his hair, smiled and walked over and sat next to Shen Lian, took the towel and gently helped Shen Lian wipe his hair.

He sighed softly and instructed, "You have to be careful tomorrow, and I will send someone to protect you." ”

Shen Lian nodded, leaned into Xuanyuan Hao's arms and said, "Don't send too many people tomorrow, you can't be too big, otherwise it will attract attention." ”

Xuanyuan Hao nodded: "I know." ”

Then Xuanyuan Hao helped Shen Lian dry her hair, and pressed Shen Lian on the bed, and the two of them had a spring supper overnight.

The next morning, Shen Lian opened her eyes and felt only cold on the side of the bed, and at this time, Xia Liang opened the curtain, showed a smile to Shen Lian and said to Shen Lian: "The prince has already gone to the court, and he told us not to disturb the princess." ”

Shen Lian nodded, lifted the quilt and saw Ya'er holding a copper basin, and after wetting the handkerchief to help her clean her face, she helped Shen Lian to the dresser.

Shen Lian touched her hair and said to Xia Liang: "Don't be too gorgeous, plain but don't be too plain." ”

Xia Liang smiled and nodded: "Yes." ”

Xia Liang's five fingers flew, and after a while, a fine lily bun appeared in the bronze mirror, Shen Lian opened the reed, and took out a pair of white jade butterflies from it to shake it, which was dignified but not too simple.

And Shen Lian chose a pair of white jade drop earrings to wear, but it echoed with Bu Shao, Xia Liang took out the eyebrows and carefully painted the eyebrows for Shen Lian, Shen Lian looked at Xia Liang and took out the rouge and shook his head: "Don't wear rouge, today's cheeks are still quite ruddy." ”
