Chapter 12: Why don't you rob me?
After Zhao Rouyi retreated, she went to look for Shen Yu, the prince was slippery, and she always faintly felt that Xue Ling couldn't last long.
"Wu Xuan, it seems that the Ling Wangfu needs our help to clean up the portal." As soon as Xue Rui's words fell, several of his attendants were eager to try.
"Brother Huang, no need, I'll send Lin to leave ......" Xue Ling hurriedly got up.
"Shhhh
Xue Rui waved his hand at Xue Ling, and the meaning was self-evident.
You and I already know that there is no need to tear your face and make people see jokes.
said that he was chasing the murderer, but Xue Rui led the people in the opposite direction, and King Ling no longer stopped him, so he could only follow hard.
Wu Xuan opened the way, and began to search from the side room where the distinguished guests were placed in the east, and pushed them out one by one, under the table, under the bed, under the wardrobe, not letting go of any corner.
Xue Rui took it for granted that Xue Ling should be able to place people here, even if Shen Yu had already run away, maybe she could still find clues in the room where she lived.
"Nope." Wu Xuan came out of another room and shook his head at the prince as he spoke.
Xue Ling saw that the prince was gradually becoming impatient, and took the opportunity to say: "Brother Huang, it's been so long, why don't you change someone from the palace to take over?" ”
"Not tired." The prince squinted his eyes and his eyes were sharp, and he beckoned Wu Xuan to come over and whispered a few words in his ear.
Wu Xuan got the order and turned around to do it.
Xue Rui then led people to investigate room by room, first found the room where Zhao Rouyi lived last night, Xue Ling stood outside the curtain and waited anxiously, but his face was as calm as water.
But when he saw the prince walking out of the door with an expressionless face, he was relieved to know that he had returned in vain.
I think Zhao Rouyi got up early and didn't bring any belongings, and the people cleaned up as if they didn't live there.
The next one was the room where Shen Yu lived, Xue Ling secretly made a wish, and Shen Yu had no clues.
However, it backfired, as soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by a table full of leftovers, Xue Ling wanted to cry without tears, he didn't catch it in one breath, and coughed dryly.
"What is this?" Xue Rui pointed to the round table and challenged him.
King Ling breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward calmly, "Rouyi got up late in the morning, and this king sent someone to bring breakfast in, maybe he hasn't had time to clean it yet." ”
Xue Ling bit the word cleaning so hard that the people of the palace who accompanied him missed a beat.
"What does the third brother mean, was Rouyi staying here last night?"
Without waiting for Xue Ling to answer, Xue Rui stepped forward and opened the curtain to inspect it himself.
The bed was messy, and the quilt was curled up into a ball of roses, Xue Rui looked at the bottom of the bed, and shook the futon again, turned it over, and saw a pair of magpies sleeping quietly next to the pillow.
Xue Rui picked it up and shook it in front of Xue Ling, "Let's guess whose this is?" ”
Xue Ling stared at the pair of runyu, panicked and delighted for a moment.
The panic came from not knowing how to round out these series of lies, and he was happy, he couldn't tell where it came from, and probably thought that this jade pendant was prepared for him by Shen Yu.
After thinking about it in his heart, he decided to admit it for the time being, if it was said that it was from Zhao Rouyi, if Xue Rui took the jade pendant and asked it in person, it would inevitably be a goof.
"Don't guess, this is the king's release."
"Tsk." Xue Rui pursed his lips and sighed softly, "The third brother is really uninteresting, if you want to give it to your favorite woman, one is enough, and the two of them each hold half of it to appear to be in love with each other, and they are picky with each other." ”
"Brother Huang taught me a lesson."
In the past, because Zhao Rouyi liked him and pestered him, everyone didn't dare to covet him, and he lingered in the stigma of Qinglou all the year round, and few women showed favor to him.
In addition, Xue Ling herself is not very concerned, and there has been no way to develop the relationship between men and women.
"The third brother has rejected Rouyi no less than ten times, has this been figured out?"
Although Xue Ling was very uncomfortable listening to his teasing, she still smiled and nodded, "Rouyi is simple, I have been joking with her for the past few years, in fact, I am not a cold person, but you also know that there are many women outside this king, which is unfair to her." ”
"Hey, what's so difficult about this, since I gave the jade pendant, it proves that the third brother has figured it out, and when I return home, I will ask my father and queen mother to marry you two when I enter the palace on the next day." Xue Rui stuffed the jade pendant into Xue Ling's hand, and his tone was full of concern.
"Don't bother......" The corner of Xue Ling's mouth twitched, but he didn't expect that stealing chickens would not lead to rice, but instead asked Xue Rui to grab the handle in other directions.
"How can it be called trouble, this is a major matter related to the princess of the Ling Palace."
Xue Rui rubbed his left and right hands and walked out of the door, Xue Ling sighed, feeling the warm touch of the jade pendant in his hand, with mixed feelings.
Lin Ju turned out of the Lingwang Mansion, and when he saw that no one was catching up, he stopped and stopped, and suddenly turned around and saw Wu Xuanfei chasing after him, he gritted his teeth and sped up, but he felt tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, and his luck was not smooth.
Gradually, the distance between the two shortened, Lin Ju hid left and right, and finally failed to escape the fate of being caught.
Wu Xuan saw that he was strong, so he bought a rope to tie him tightly before bringing him back.
"Do you royals like to tie people up into rice dumplings?"
……
After checking Shen Yu's room, Xue Rui then opened a few doors, and suddenly led his entourage to hurry to the side room where the next person lived.
Since he could think that Xue Ling might place Shen Yu in a good place to live, then Xue Ling might also think of it, and in this case, he would do the opposite.
Thinking about it like this, it was crooked, and Xue Ling's heart was like doing sit-ups today.
Coincidentally, when Xue Rui stepped into the courtyard, Zhao Rouyi was pushing away the room where Shen Yu was hiding.
"Rouyi." Xue Ling subconsciously stopped her.
Zhao Rouyi turned her head, but it was Xue Rui's eyes that met it.
"Rouyi, we just talked about you."
"Say me? Say what about me? Zhao Rouyi looked at Xue Ling, who had a solemn face behind him, and retracted the hand that pushed the door.
"Come into the house and say." Xue Rui pushed the door open in the next second.
Xue Ling squeezed into the door one step ahead of Zhao Rouyi, and was relieved to see that there was no talent.
Shen Yu, who was under the bed in the room, heard movement outside, and silently moved an inch in.
The servants entered the room, sat at the round table and chatted stiffly, each looking around, silently searching for clues.
Shen Yu held his breath at the bottom of the bed, clutching his violently beating heart, wishing that it would also be silent.
No, no, this is not an appropriate description, the heart is not beating and the person is gone, bad luck, Shen Yu secretly overturned this metaphor.
"The third brother has something to give you." Xue Ruishen smiled mysteriously at Zhao Rouyi.
Xue Ling had already hung up the two waist pendants, and at this moment he was secretly pinching the tassels on them under the table, and decisively refused, "It's nothing, I'll talk to you in detail next time." ”
I'm afraid I can't wait for this next time.
Xue Rui shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, stood up and pretended to warm up. As he spoke, he kicked the sheets hanging from the side of the bed. "Third brother, are you afraid that I, an outsider, are you embarrassed?"
Zhao Rouyi couldn't understand what the two were saying, so she held her cheeks and observed Xue Ling sitting opposite.
"It's better to be solemn about this kind of thing."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Rouyi asked, and Shen Yu also asked in his heart.
Xue Rui replied for him, "It's about the mistress of the Ling Palace." ”
Xue Ling really wants to marry Zhao Rouyi, it seems that he didn't guess wrong, they like each other. Shen Yu secretly came to a conclusion in his heart.
Zhao Rouyi's eyes lit up, "The prince is willing to obey me?" ”
Xue Ling raised his forehead and lowered his head, but carefully found that the table was sprinkled with fine pastry crumbs, his eyes wandered, and the ground also loomed, and did not disappear until the bed, and seemed to extend to the bottom of the bed.
His eyes widened, Xue Ling had already walked to the wardrobe at the moment, thinking that he hadn't found this detail yet.
"Ahem." Xue Ling coughed twice, "This king thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is reasonable, so it is better to ask the imperial brother to be a witness, and let's go to the main hall to talk in detail." ”
The eyes of the two of them turned to him together, and Xue Rui did not hide the suspicion in his eyes.
"Your Highness, the man who escaped has been captured." Wu Xuan's report of help came from outside the door.
Xue Rui scanned the room suspiciously, and walked away suspiciously.
Zhao Rouyi hurriedly approached and asked Xue Ling, "What serious thing does the prince want to say to me?" ”
Xue Ling got up and pushed her out. Carefully closed the door again, Xue Rui and his subordinates did not know which direction to go.
At this time, Lin Li happened to pass by, and Xue Ling finally had the opportunity to explain to him to protect Shen Yu.
I didn't do anything this morning, and I was relieved.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that you and I love each other and intend to match." Xue Ling patiently explained to Zhao Rouyi.
"Wait a minute, you can pretend to be shy, and get over for a while."
The spark in Zhao Rouyi's eyes gradually extinguished, but she still nodded.
When she entered the palace for the first time as a child, she got lost and walked around the sparsely populated cold palace, but she happened to meet a jasper-like teenager sitting next to a pool of jasper. The young man's eyes were clear, his face was covered with tears, and it was clear that there was no wind, but Zhao Rouyi felt ripples in his heart.
She took the initiative to strike up a conversation, but the boy pouted and left. Later, I found out that he was Xue Ling, the least favored among the princes, and listening to the crowd's miscellaneous discussions about him, Zhao Rouyi didn't believe it, how could such a bright young man be a prodigal child who was wrapped around the mattress in their mouths and didn't know how to be polite.
Maybe Xue Ling had already forgotten the girl who was talking to him with a red face by the pool, but only knew that since he made the prince and moved out of the palace, Zhao Rouyi suddenly appeared and stalked him.
At that glance, she gambled everything.
