In the blink of an eye, Xuan Zhuyi and his entourage had been in Lujiang County for half a month. Mo Cheng felt that it had been so long, and it was time to prepare well to formally entertain them. On this day, the weather was still good, the sun was shining, Mo Cheng was preparing all kinds of dishes on the mountain, Mu Zhixi was helping on the side, and from time to time he went to the back kitchen to help, Xuan Zhuyi and Ouyang Ruolin helped to go down the mountain to buy the things they needed, Mu Jinggong and Feng Xunyi followed the people who patrolled the mountain out of the door, Shang Ling, in order not to disturb Mu Zhixi and Xuan Zhuyi, the two promising people, pulled Yu Cihe down the mountain from another road to the city to buy wine. The road chosen by Shang Ling is also inaccessible, but fortunately, this road is not difficult to walk.

"Hey! Yu Tzu-hyuk? Shang Ling was really bored walking on the road, so he began to tease Yu Cihe again, "The path I chose is not bad, right?" ”

Yu Tzu Hyuk said very boringly: "There is no road in the world, and the more people walk, it will naturally become a road." The reason why the road is called a road is only man-made. If others can go, then why should it be difficult for us? ”

"Tsk!" Shang Ling shook his head and said, "Yu Cihe? After all this time, why are you still so good at ruining your fun? Didn't you say that after spending a long time with me, you would learn some of my ways and means? Why didn't you learn this? ”

Yu Tzu Hyuk also said reasonably: "If you don't want to take advantage of your stubble, you will naturally be disappointed." I don't want to learn your ways and methods, so naturally I don't see anything. ”

"Tsk! Yu Tzu-hyuk? You're bored, aren't you? ”

"Aren't you tired of being so energetic every day?"

Shang Ling felt that this topic was getting more and more deviated, and he felt that his nose was about to be crooked. He hurriedly stopped the topic and said, "Okay, okay, can't I not talk about it?" Yu Tzu Hyuk ignored him. But Shang Ling is an idle person, and it is too difficult for him to shut up and walk well. After a while, he spoke again, "Huh? Yu Tzu-hyuk? We've been in Lujiang County for half a month, and we haven't heard any news about His Royal Highness the Prince, does that mean that we have escaped from the tiger's mouth? ”

Yu Cihe: "It's only been half a month, Xiao Yuhuan won't give up so easily." ”

Shang Ling: "That...... What are we going to do? Do you want to hide here in Mocheng, Lujiang County until you are old and hide until you die? ”

Yu Tzu Hyuk looked back at him and said, "What's wrong? Seeing that Xuan Zhuyi and Ouyang Ruolin are in love, it is better to live and work here in peace and contentment. ”

Shang Ling: "I think Senior Sister Mu and Mo Cheng are also quite suitable, and I can see that Mo Cheng still likes Senior Sister Mu a little." There are also Senior Sister Gong and Feng Gongzi, the two of them seem to have some signs from the first meeting. It just so happens that their sisters can be together, and it's not bad to take care of each other. ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "What about you?" ”

"I'm ......" Shang Ling suddenly ran in front of Yu Cihe and asked, "Don't talk about me yet, Yu Cihe?" What about you? Would you like to stay on this mountain all the time? ”

Yu Tzu Hyuk said without hesitation: "I am willing. ”

Shang Ling was overjoyed, but when he was about to speak, he was grabbed by Yu Cihe and said, "It's just that my willingness doesn't mean that I can." ”

Shang Ling couldn't understand: "Why? Why do you want to and can't? Isn't that your own will? ”

"Shang Ling?" Yu Tzu Hyuk stopped and said, "Sometimes, it's not just what you want to do. For example, in my life, I can't escape the rights and wrongs in the same palace. ”

Shang Ling listened to it and smiled: "Ha! Yu Tzu-hyuk? I'll just say that the two of us are a good match! You can't escape the rights and wrongs of the palace, and so do I! My stepfather is Shen Fan, how can I escape? ”

Yu Tzu Hyuk looked at him and said softly, "It's hard work." ”

"Aren't you the same?" Shang Ling looked at her and replied. The two sighed at each other and continued their descent from the mountain.

—— —— ——

In the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xiao Yuhuan sat down, Princess Su'an Xiao Yunyi stood down, and a group of people from Jinci Palace were waiting and kneeling behind Princess Su'an.

"Su'an?" Xiao Yuhuan sat on it and twisted his body and said, "Say, that kid, what's going on?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I died in my Jinci Palace."

"What's going on? Hum! Xiao Yuhuan snorted coldly, "Who is that child's surname, and who brought it?" How could you suddenly die in your palace? Don't you have anything to say? ”

"That kid...... It is a child in the family of the grandmother in the palace of Nanyang. ”

"King Nanyang?" Xiao Yuhuan showed great interest and said, "What? The king of Nanyang, who you are guarding with all your heart, brought a child to you, and now he is finally going to frame you? ”

"No, this child was not sent by King Nanyang on his own initiative." Princess Su'an said without changing her face, "I asked him to bring this child here." ”

"You asked him to bring it? What did you ask him to bring here? ”

"See the world, have fun."

"Hahahahaha!" Xiao Yuhuan sat on it and smiled extremely happily, "In that case, this kid has nothing to do with the King of Nanyang, but you are sorry for him?" ”

"Yes, I'm sorry for him."

"The people of this prince found some things in the palace on the body of the child in your Jinci Palace, could it be that this child stole the things of your Jinci Palace, so he was killed by your Princess Su'an?"

Princess Su'an raised her eyes and asked, "What did you find?" ”

"A jade pendant, and ......," he said in a deliberately low voice, "an incense card." ”

"Incense?" Princess Su'an was shocked.

"That's right, it's an incense card, an incense card engraved with a bat pattern." Xiao Yuhuan then smiled, "Su'an? Have you figured out how to explain this? Whether this is about you or the child you have to think about. I might as well make it clearer with what you said, it has something to do with you, you are a capital crime, if it is related to that child, then this matter has nothing to do with you at all, it is the matter of King Nanyang. You have to think about it! ”

Princess Su'an didn't know how to answer Xiao Yuhuan's words for a while. Xiao Yuhuan leaned forward slightly, looked at Princess Su'an and said, "Su'an, don't think that I temporarily suppressed this matter and didn't reach my father's ears because I was afraid that the matter would be stabbed even more." This matter has nothing to do with me, so why should I be afraid? I'm helping you, do you understand? ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince's affection for Su An, Su An's peace of mind. It's just that this matter is not trivial, and the truth has nothing to do with the King of Nanyang, so Su An is willing to be disposed of by you. ”

"Good! What a good one to be at my disposal. How do you want to explain the incense card thing? ”

"I don't know where the incense card came from, maybe someone with ulterior motives put it on that kid just to harm me or the king of Nanyang."

"Harm? Who's going to do the harm? It is a capital crime to harm the children of the royal family! Who has such guts? ”

"Su An doesn't know."

"I don't know? In that case, I won't talk to you in vain. Since men die in your palace, you and all those in your house will be imprisoned. The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and I want you to know that. ”

"Suan knows." After that, Princess Su'an knelt down and saluted Xiao Yuhuan.

Xiao Yuhuan smiled faintly, beckoned and was about to speak, when a maid kneeling behind Princess Su'an suddenly shouted: "His Royal Highness the Prince!" Our princess has been wronged! Princess Su'an's heart sank, and she didn't look back, knowing that things couldn't just pass. The man next to the servant girl tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "What are you doing?" ”

"I don't do anything! I said princess, she was innocent! ”

"Yo!" Xiao Yuhuan stood up and said, "What?" Are you princesses innocent? Tell me, what kind of innocent law is it? ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Min'er was indeed brought over by the King of Nanyang, not at all at the princess's request. Moreover, on the day that King Nanyang left, Min'er left with King Nanyang and did not stay in Jinci Palace at all. When we found out this morning, the princess was still sleeping, and she knew nothing about it. Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be aware of everything and return our princess a clean slate. ”

"Huh! What you said has nothing to do with your princess, what proof do you have? Prove that what you just said is true, and your princess has taken all the fault of the matter by herself. ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, everyone in the Jinci Palace can prove that what I just said is true. The princess is actually doing this now to protect the king of Nanyang, and she does not want the king of Nanyang to be punished again. ”

"Protect the King of Nanyang? Do you know she's cover-up? ”

"The slave and maid are now telling the matter and the plan, just to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to let our princess go and leave a way for our princess to live."

Xiao Yuhuan's laughter became more and more rampant, he walked down and stood in front of Princess Su'an and said, "Su'an? See? Your handmaid is better than you can be! Yes? ”

Princess Su'an bowed her head and said nothing. Xiao Yuhuan squatted down, raised her face to make her look at herself, and whispered: "What do you think I will do to Xiao Shuyu, the king of Nanyang, so you want to take it all in and keep him away from this matter." But I tell you, I don't touch him, I didn't want to touch him in the first place. ”

Princess Su'an looked at him and said coldly, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I don't do anything, I just want to rely on you to lure Xuan Zhuyi and those people over."

"I have nothing to do with them, they won't come."

"Yes, you have nothing to do with that kid Xuan Zhuyi, but Yu Cihe is not necessarily."

Princess Su'an stared at him and said angrily, "What do you want to do!" ”

"Don't be so nervous! She's just a servant girl by your side, so why do you protect her so much? I'm curious, if you had to choose between her and the King of Nanyang, who would you choose? ”

Su An was silent, Xiao Yuhuan frowned and said, "She is actually the same as Xiao Shuyu in your heart, so I have to invite her to have a good cup of tea." He then stood up and said loudly, "Since Princess Su'an is for the king of Nanyang, then I will follow her heart, and the real murderer is not her." Someone's coming! A few attendants ran in from outside the door and saluted: "Only from the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Let out the news of Jinci Palace today, and say that Princess Su'an has been grounded in Jinci Palace, and she will be sent to prison to wait for disposal in the near future. Also, the farther away this news is, the better, remember to avoid the eyes and ears of my father, let's wait and see what happens, and see who the person who heard the news will be? ”

"Yes!"

Princess Su'an raised her head and glared at Xiao Yuhuan and said, "You are not doing this now to track down the murderer!" ”

"No, I'm here to track down the killer. Since the murderer left the child's body in Jinci Palace, it is clear that he is going to you, Princess Su'an, and he wants to blame you. Now that I've put the news out and said you've been imprisoned, shouldn't this man come back and admire his masterpiece? ”

"You're a fallacy!"

"Is it a fallacy, let's wait and see, if no one comes, it's not too late for you to say me again."
