Chu Qing walked farther and farther away from Xiao Pan's carriage, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Shen Qiuyu poking his head out and looking at Xiao Pan's figure in the distance stupidly.

Now that I can't even see a shadow, Shen Qiuyu is still stretching her neck?

Anyway, in Shen Qiuyu's eyes, Chu Qingli is a dead girl who doesn't understand the rules, so she has no rules to the end, Chu Qingli explained to the horseman, and directly sent Shen Qiuyu back to the Xuanguo Mansion, this Mu Wangfu She has no interest in inviting people she doesn't like to be guests.

Chu Qingli clapped his hands and entered the mansion without looking back. Although this is Chu Qingli's home, she went to Hezhou immediately after she got married, and she didn't know about Mu Wangfu herself.

Chu Qingli also planned to show off her status as a princess and manage the affairs of the mansion in an orderly manner, but when she saw this familiar but more unfamiliar mansion, she still let the housekeeper take care of it, and she wouldn't add to the chaos.

They returned to Beijing in the morning, but it was night, and Xiao Pan had not yet returned after entering the palace. Even if the emperor hasn't seen Xiao Pan for a long time, he doesn't have so much to talk about, even if he has dinner in the palace, he should come back at this time.

"Huh? Butler, come here. Chu Qingli was sitting in the courtyard waiting anxiously, just when he saw the housekeeper passing by.

"Princess, what's the matter?" The housekeeper is not young anymore, and it seems that he has been in King Mu's mansion for many years.

"It's nothing, just ask, didn't the prince come back to the palace so late?" If it is normal, she doesn't have to worry, I'm afraid that this time is different from the past, and Xiao Pan is no longer the prince with a different surname respected by the royal family, except for the second prince, the people in the court are probably jealous of Xiao Pan.

"Hey, this really hasn't happened, maybe the emperor hasn't seen the prince for a long time, and he forgot the time for a while." The housekeeper comforted Chu Qingli, who could know about the things in the palace.

Chu Qingli continued to support his cheeks, looking at the bright moon in the silent sky, how could he not see a star tonight. Chu Qingli didn't know how long he had waited before he finally waited for the news of Xiao Pan's return to his home.

Chu Qingli lifted the skirt and walked out through the corridor. Xiao Pan's face was a little ugly, it must have been something the emperor said, otherwise ordinary things would not be able to shake Xiao Pan's heart at all.

After all, there were still people around, Chu Qingli suppressed the curiosity in his heart, "Lord Wang, maybe you're tired, I'll push you into the room to rest." Chu Qing remained silent, as a princess, she had to be in danger and have the temperament of a princess, otherwise how could she convince the public, and it would be a shame for Xiao Pan if it was spread out.

"Lord, have you eaten?" I should have asked Xiao Pan what happened in the palace, but looking at Xiao Pan's tired face, Chu Qingli couldn't bear to ask.

Xiao Pan rubbed his eyes and shook his head gently, "No need, no appetite." ”

What do you mean, that is, Xiao Pan hasn't eaten dinner until now? It is said that the whole world is the emperor, and he is reluctant to give people a meal?

Chu Qing was a little distressed, he had just returned to Beijing, and the emperor was in such a hurry to give him a dismissal, and it seemed that he was still very worried about Xiao Pan.

"How can this work, I'll go cook you a bowl of noodles." People are iron and rice are steel, how can they deal with the guns and arrows in the future if they don't eat.

When Chu Qingli came back with a hot face, Xiao Pan was still in his previous position and did not move.

"Why didn't you ask me what happened?" Xiao Pan saw that Chu Qing was busy before and after, but he didn't mention today's matter.

"If you don't mention it, I won't ask." If Xiao Pan was worried about Chu Qing and asked her questions, not only would it not solve the problem, but it would make him more troubled. But listening to the meaning of Xiao Pan's words, did he have a plan to tell her?

Xiao Pan stared at Chu Qingli, "I don't want to hide anything from you. Xiao Pan has always been unpredictable and unpredictable, but now, he is willing to face Chu Qingli honestly.

I have to say that Chu Qingli was still very moved, and there was some excitement. "You've been in the palace all these hours...... What did you say to the emperor? ”

Xiao Pan touched his knee, it was stiff and painful, and the piercing feeling was still so clear.

Xiao Pan laughed contemptuously, "The emperor tested whether I really had a crippled leg, after all, the emperor is the most suspicious, and he is extra careful in everything." ”

"Temptation? How did he tempt? "Could it be that someone hit Xiao Pan's leg to see if he felt pain? Or was it used in some other way?

Chu Qing was taken aback when he heard Xiao Pan's words, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, counting the dynasties, which emperor is not insidious and vicious, completely ruthless, fratricidal brothers, and father-son rivalry are not uncommon, not to mention that Xiao Pan is just a prince with a different surname.

Chu Qingli squatted beside Xiao Pan and gently lifted his robe, which made Chu Qing feel like an ice blade had been inserted in his centrifugation. The white clothes at the knees had been stained red with blood, no wonder Xiao Pan's face was so ugly before, it turned out that he was enduring the pain.

"Why don't you say it?" Even if Xiao Pan mentioned it, she wouldn't be stupid enough to go to the food she was busy eating. Chu Qingli gently lifted Xiao Pan's foot, took off his shoes, and checked the injury on his knee.

The knees were already bloody and blurred, and the good skin was tortured so that there was no good place. Chu Qingli looked at it with distress, looking at this scar, it should not be caused by an external beating, after all, he is still the prince, and the emperor will not do such an excessive thing, is this ......

Chu Qing got closer, wanting to see clearly how Xiao Pan was injured, but he didn't expect Xiao Pan to speak and explain first, "It's caused by kneeling." ”

Chu Qingli let out a puzzled "ah", what reason does the emperor have for Xiao Pan to kneel on the ground? When he was in Hezhou, he was diligent and loved by the people, and there was nothing wrong with him, why did the emperor do this.

Xiao Pan should have guessed what Chu Qing was thinking, shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's not a punishment, it's a reward." "The emperor gave Xiao Pan a lot of rewards on the grounds that Xiao Pan was able to do things, but he didn't reward them all at once, and every time Xiao Pan knelt down to thank him, the emperor seemed to have forgotten him, and he talked to himself for a long time before letting him get up.

Chu Qingli imagined that picture, and tears were about to come out. The emperor's reward, Xiao Pan couldn't show that he was unhappy, he endured the pain in his heart, and thanked the emperor for his holy grace, which was not only physical torture, but also the sourness in his heart.

Chu Qing parted with a face, with a cry in his voice, "I'll go get the medicine box." "Xiao Pan's leg has to be bandaged quickly, in case the root of the disease falls, it is a lifelong thing.

Xiao Pan heard that Chu Qingli's voice was wrong, grabbed Chu Qingli's wrist with his backhand, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, I'm fine." He could still laugh at this time.
