Not long after, Cai Ling had already packed a small burden and was about to leave, when Manyun happened to come back and said urgently: "The prince went to Luoyang, and it is estimated that he will not return home in two days." ”

Cai Ling's steps did not stop, "Then send someone to send a letter, saying that there is an epidemic in Beijing and the imperial court will pay attention to it." ”

"But if it weren't for the prince's permission, how could the girl get out of the palace?" Chase the clouds.

Cai Ling Fang slowed down, "Find someone to spread the word about Biluo, and tell the truth that my nephew is infected with smallpox." ”

"But?" The clouds are at a loss.

"It's fine." Cai Ling smiled reassuringly.

Cai Ling waited at the side door for only half an hour, and someone came to say that she would be released from the house. She guessed correctly, Biluo couldn't wait to find a chance to drive her out of the palace, smallpox was the best excuse, the house couldn't tolerate smallpox, especially Biluo, who was pregnant with Liujia now.

Cai Ling just stepped out of the house, turned his head and looked, Manyun followed closely, puzzled, "Your injuries have not healed, you don't have to go with me, I am very familiar with the capital, and I will not get lost." ”

Manyun said, "The slave and maid were infected with smallpox when they were young, and if they heard that this disease had been infected, they would not have contracted it again. Why don't you let the slave take care of the little master. ”

Cai Ling was very excited, but when she looked closely, Manyun's face was smooth and there were no pockmarks, and she wondered: "Have you really dyed it before?" You know that this disease is extremely dangerous, and if an adult is infected with the disease nine times out of ten and dies, don't talk nonsense. ”

"The slave did dye." Manyun replied resolutely.

So the master and servant got into the carriage, Cai Ling raised the whip and drove, and the horse ran on the bluestone road in the capital. It didn't take long to arrive at the door of Dongxi Building.

Although it was past noon, the upstairs and downstairs were still full of guests and friends, and it was very lively. As soon as the master and servant stopped the carriage, the shopkeeper Cai and two juniors came to greet them, one of them took the reins, and the other Xiaoer hurriedly came to pick Ling and dismounted. Cai Ling smiled and said, "I haven't seen the moon for a few days, and the full moon has grown." ”

Yueque, who was leading the horse, smiled shyly, but Yueyuan, who came to support, said, "Young master, be careful of your step." ”

Lao Cai approached and said, "The young master's subordinates will open it immediately, the fourth floor is a quiet place, and no one dares to go up and disturb it." ”

"Give me the key, and I'll open it myself. You're busy enough, you're glad you're suffering. Cai Ling said to Manyun again, "You wait for me in the car, I'll go back when I go." ”

Lao Cai handed over the key, and Cai Ling asked again: "Is Dr. Zhuge on the street still seeing a doctor?" ”

"I haven't seen it for half a month, I heard that the little young master of the Nanyang Hou Mansion is suffering from an emergency, and Dr. Zhuge is stationed in the Hou Mansion."

If this is the case, it seems that it is not her family Yuan'er who suffers from smallpox, and it is impossible to test which child this disease came from, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find famous doctors in the capital after a delay. Cai Ling said again, "Find someone to go to the outskirts of the city to invite Lang Zhong and send Jiang Mansion at night." ”

Lao Cai was ordered to run errands, and Cai Ling hurriedly picked up the stairs. She didn't have time to look closely at whether the house was carefully tidied up or what it was like when she went, so she took out a key from the secret compartment of the dressing cabinet and opened the locked cabinet next to the case, and the drawers were dazzled by the glittering gold and silver of jewels. She took some gold leaves at random, and no sooner had she locked the cabinet than she was pressed to her throat with a cold dagger.

She guessed that the person who came was not for money, and her heart was cold, but she felt that it was very worthwhile to die like this, so she shouted: "Who? ”

The man hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, and her heart fell to the ground, it seemed that this man did not want to deal with her immediately. Sure enough, the man gagged her mouth and tied her hands, and she showed her true face, a woman with a beautiful appearance. It was the guard who was kicked out of the palace a few days ago, the guard of Biluo.

This time, she did not shy away from revealing her true face, Cai Ling knew that she was more than lucky, but she never thought that the woman hated and said: "Now that you have no protection from the palace, it is too easy to kill you." My master said, it's too cheap to kill you, she will treat you well, I don't know if you've ever heard of the water prison? Have you ever wondered how painful it would be to live in a dark water prison for the rest of your life? ”

It is heard that the punishment of water prison is especially prevalent in the northern country. Cai Ling's eyes lit up, as a person who was on the verge of disaster, her expression was extremely abnormal, but the question that had plagued her for a long time was finally answered and exciting. She even hoped that the guard would take her to meet Biluo. Blackened Biluo.

Downstairs is full of guests and friends, the shop is small and many, want to go from the main door difficult, jump out of the window for the fourth floor, this guard light skills are good, but Cai Ling but will not do kung fu, will fall to death, fall to death is not able to solve Biluo's anger. So the two were at a stalemate for a while.

In the end, the guards decided to take her hostage and rushed downstairs.

Although the guests in the Accord were drinking and talking, there was laughter from time to time, and the guests in the hall on the second floor were not afraid to see Jiang Shao being held hostage, they were all frightened, some people were holding their heads and running around, and some people were so frightened that they didn't dare to move in their positions, the little two flashed to the side, and the full moon and the moon were rushed over with a bench, and they were kicked downstairs by the guard, and the shopkeeper Cai was not afraid of death and rushed over, and Cai Ling shouted, meaning that they should not make senseless sacrifices. As a result, the shopkeeper Cai was kicked and lay in the corner unable to move.

The guard held a dagger against Cai Ling's neck, dragging her just about to leave the gate of Dongxi Tower, but suddenly a row of black guards was crowded at the door. Cai Ling was surprised by Cai's shopkeeper's ability to do things, and he didn't expect to find someone from the government so quickly. From behind the crowd came a familiar lilac figure.

Before the horse's hooves stopped, the man had already flew, and the tip of the brocade boots was on the shoulders of the guards outside the door, and he jumped lightly and landed in the hall as light as a swallow. Although Cai Ling knew that Shen Muchi was good at martial arts, he had never seen him make a move, and now he was a little stunned when he saw his immortal-like figure, and quickly came back to his senses and stood up. Shen Muchi couldn't hear what she said clearly, and only frowned slightly.

The guards knew that something was wrong, and now they were afraid that it would be difficult to get out, so they had to kill the hostages with a knife, which could be regarded as living up to the master's trust. The knife was about to fall, but Shen Muchi's long sword had already pierced her chest, and the blood in her heart gushed out as he drew the sword, and the sword also quickly shot down the dagger in her hand.

In an instant, Shen Muchi took Cai Ling into his arms, and the speed of his movements did not even stain her with the slightest blood of the assassin. She landed firmly in his warm and firm arms, only to hear him say, "It's all right." "It's like a comfort, a little relieved.

There was applause upstairs, and it was not a big deal to see the excitement. Shen Muchi looked at it coldly, and the group of people hurriedly dispersed without a trace. Yue Yuan, Yue Que and a few guys hurriedly went to support Cai's shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper was beaten not lightly, and he was still **.

Cai Ling said to Yueyuan again: "Lang Zhong, who was invited by the suburbs of the city, stayed in the building first and looked after the injury for Cai's shopkeeper." I still have urgent matters, so go first. ”

Cai Ling bypassed the corpse and left, Shen Muchi followed closely, and the guards hurriedly made a way.

"Still angry?" He asked, catching up.

"Thank you for saving my life. However, I am also due to you, so it is only natural that you should save me. I won't talk to you much here. I heard that you are going to Luoyang, and you have a safe journey. Cai Ling walked to the carriage, squatted down to untie the rope, Manyun had been waiting in a hurry, saw her coming, hurriedly jumped off the carriage, and saw the prince again, and hurriedly saluted.

King Qin bowed his head to Manyun, took the reins from Cai Ling's hand and said, "This king knows everything." ”

His white hands were blown red by the cold wind, and she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw it. His rare dodge. As soon as he arrived at the post station, he received an urgent secret report from the spies, and he rode his horse and whip back quickly, just to be relieved. A land of a hundred miles to come and go.

Cai Ling was grateful and restrained her emotions, "Yuan'er suffered from smallpox, but I estimate that there will be no more than this in the capital, so I sent someone to send a message, hoping to attract the attention of the imperial court and prevent more people from dying because of this." You don't have to worry about Yuan'er, I will take him to no man's land for isolation, and he will not cause trouble to the imperial court. ”

"The king knows." He nodded firmly, "This king has ordered a strict investigation and strict management." ”

"Hmm." Cai Ling went to grab the reins again, "I'll go and pick up Yuan'er now." If I am well in a month's time, I will definitely return to the palace, and I will not run away. ”

"This king will go with you." He had jumped into the carriage.

"No." Cai Ling frowned and said, "You have never suffered from this disease, if you are unfortunate enough to be infected, it is extremely dangerous." It's not worth the risk for you. ”

Although the last few words were said very softly, he could hear them clearly, his expression was firm, and his voice was gentle, "This king knows. ”

After a stalemate for a moment, Cai Ling didn't dare to disobey King Qin's will. The prince's personal guard acted as a groom, Manyun sat outside the car, and the two of them sat on the cushion of the carriage, and the group headed towards the Liangfu Beijing suburb courtyard.

Out of the city gate, the official road was a little bumpy, Cai Ling was worried and didn't grasp the handrail, and accidentally bounced up and hit her head on Shen Muchi's shoulder. Although it is not as luxurious as it used to be in light clothes now, there are one or two beaded hairpins on his head after all, scraping the skin around his neck with a reddish tinge. Seeing that he didn't respond, she pretended not to know and just moved her position to the side.

"Little four." Shen Muchi suddenly spoke.

Cai Ling was stunned, then looked around, made sure that there were only two of them in the car, and asked suspiciously, "Call me?" This party has thought about it, and they have known each other for more than ten years, and she tried her best to behave in front of him, just to get the eyes of this handsome man, but in the few memories, he called her by her name a few times when he was angry, and the rest did not even have an acquaintance.

It turned out that after getting acquainted with her, he was going to call her "Little Four", she was the fourth in the family, and the three brothers used to call her that, and it sounded very warm, like a spring breeze, around her chest.

"I didn't even apologize for scratching this king?" He asked, but not in the same cold tone as before.

The sentence "Little Four" was like a stone, shattering her locked heart in an instant, "I'm sorry." Although his voice was weak, King Qin smiled slightly when he heard it.

"Yuan'er's matter, this king has his own considerations." King Qin's gaze softened.

Before the words were finished, Cai Ling hurriedly said: "Yuan'er stayed in the capital because my mother went to ask for the grace of the Queen Mother, and Nian was allowed to stay in Liangfu when he was weak and sick, and he would not enter Shu until he became an adult. Now that this child is seriously ill, he is so pitiful that His Highness will never take him away. In desperation, she reached out and took his hand.

His body stiffened slightly, but for a moment, he had already replaced it with him holding her hand, "This king knows. He was going to tell her that Jiang Taichang's Bao and Lin had already prepared and were waiting to send the child for treatment. I don't want to talk about it now.

She struggled, but she didn't break free, and he seemed to like to take her hand. This is a scene that would only have been dreamed of in the past, but now it is easy to get, it turns out that the temperature of his palm will slowly warm her cold fingertips, it turns out that he is holding his hand so steadily, as if the sky is not afraid of falling. Because of the tears in her eyes, she looked out the window and didn't dare to fall, after all, now that they can't go back to the past, she doesn't want to be Princess Qin anymore, and he also has Biluo.

Oh. Biluo! She spoke slowly, "Your Highness knows who is holding me hostage, right?" ”

"This king wanted to kill her early in the morning." His tone was not shocked, what he didn't expect was that he would actually do it himself.

"She didn't hold me hostage for money, she just said she wanted to take me to taste the pain of the water prison." Cai Ling said calmly, observing Shen Muchi carefully, only to see a smile flashing in his bottomless eyes, but he only answered: "Then it's even more damned." The clouds were light and the wind was light, but holding one of her hands did not feel that he had increased his strength, as if he was afraid that she would be lost.

Cai Ling was still wondering if King Qin understood what she meant, and the carriage had stopped at the door of a mansion that had fallen into disrepair.
