The mad monk He Tu was driven away.

Nanyang, who felt bored, also left.

Chen Pu was the only one left in the huge outer study.

It's getting late. The last rays of light of day were slowly creeping out of the latticework. There are no lights in the spacious study, desks, tables, chairs, drum stools, yarn lamps...... All things became gloomy and obscure in the gloom; The two ebony bookshelves on the side of the wall were now reduced to two swarthy silhouettes, which were fading into the shadows of the brick walls. In the distance, the sound of drums and the mournful cry of jackdaws could be heard.

A few maids crept in, neatly placed a few lanterns in the room, and immediately withdrew silently. Soft light fills all the space at once. Soon, a wisp of medicinal cake filled the room with the thin aroma of lit medicine.

Chen Pu didn't seem to pay attention to these changes and movements around him, and he seemed to be indifferent. Now, leaning slightly, with her head bowed, her eyes down, her eyes fixed on the ground in front of her, her soft feet in her hands, she sat motionless in the chair on the low side. The light cast from the gauze lamp cast a thin halo on her smooth and tired pale cheeks; The halo was equally bleak and lacking.

Compared with her seemingly peaceful expression, her mood was tumbling like a turbulent wave. Incomparably guilty and deeply remorseful, they are like two poisonous snakes, which are ferociously devouring her heart. She suddenly realizes that she has made a mistake that cannot be forgiven! It was because of her thought that her comrades-in-arms were in her home, right in front of her eyes, and suffered the humiliation of others; And she was still sneering, sneering and waiting for things to go her way...... She also ended up getting the results she wanted. Shang Cheng defended his dignity in his way, and at the same time taught that arrogant and shameless person a hard lesson! Seeing that person trembling in front of Shang Cheng, how happy she was at that moment! But after being happy, she suddenly found that what she had lost was far greater than what she had gained, and she had punished the person who had disgraced the Heavenly Family with the help of Shang Cheng's hand, and at the same time lost the sincere friendship of a comrade-in-arms......

Until now, Shang Cheng's angry face when he left was still shaking in front of her eyes, and the low and hoarse voice kept echoing in her ears: "Princess Changsha has a heart, this tea is really good......

There could be no more shame and shame for her than this.

The tea is good; People are not so good!

This is completely a slap in the face to her......

She was completely unable to refute Shang Cheng's accusations. Yes, she did "have the heart" to borrow Shang Cheng's hand to teach He Di a lesson. In the face of such facts, any attempt to justify oneself is feeble. There is no doubt that she did it wrong from the beginning! Regardless of whether this was her mansion or not, and whether Shang Cheng was her guest or not, when someone insulted her comrades-in-arms, she should have stood up for him at the first opportunity! But what did she do? When He Di taunted Shang Cheng with a mouthful of a "half-footed monk", she was smiling; When He Di sarcastically ridiculed Shang Cheng's greed for Hongchen one after another, she was still smiling; When He Di used the metaphor of the ghost and Zhong Kui to ridicule Shang Cheng, she was still smiling......

She clenched her chair in pain. Yes, Shang Zida is not wrong, except for the tea in her princess's mansion, it is not bad, and there is indeed nothing worth taking out to praise and show off! Even her identity as a princess, she once again remembered Shang Cheng's extremely blunt and unusually raw title, and one by one was covered in dust because of her intentional mistakes!

"It's not scary to make mistakes. Who can not make mistakes? The saints of Confucius have also made the mistake of 'judging people by their appearance', let alone others. The key is what to do if you make a mistake! Do you stick to what you are doing wrong, or do you want to correct it? ”

This is what Shang Cheng said to her when he was in Yanshan. She has always used this sentence to encourage herself. And she's going to right her mistakes now.

She walked to the back of the table and sat down, took a piece of letterhead and flattened it, poured some herbal tea into the inkstone, and slowly polished the ink. She experienced the taste of the words again, and pondered how to save the friendship that she had ruined with her own hands.

She wrote only the beginning of several letters in succession, and then she could not continue them anymore. She didn't know how to explain it to close the gap. In fact, she lacks common sense and skills in dealing with such human interactions. This is understandable, even if a person like her occasionally offends someone, she probably doesn't need to apologize and admit her mistakes.

Since she couldn't apologize with a letter, she decided to simply go herself. She felt that this would show her sincerity even more, the dignified princess of Changsha and the general of Zhuguo deigned to come to the post house to apologize to your merchants, you are a big man and it is not good to close the door and not see you, right? And she also had to bring Wen Mu's marriage gift to the post house, so that Shang Zida would have no reason to turn her away. As long as she can see him in person, she believes that she can always think of a way to heal the broken friendship, and if it is a big deal, she will seriously make amends......

As soon as she said she would go, she immediately beckoned Liao Pheasant and Jiao'er, and asked them to bring gifts for Wen Mu, and two female guards, she was going to the Ministry of Rites Post House on Hanhuai Street now!

But when she arrived at Hanhuai Street, she realized that Shang Cheng was not in the post house at all. One of the guards told the maid who inquired about the news that the adults had not returned since they left. As for Shang Cheng's whereabouts, I can't say anything about them one by one. However, the guards couldn't help but ask the standard-looking female guards repeatedly, and still revealed a little news: his family went out today to be invited to a princess's house for a banquet......

Didn't go back to the inn? Then where did he go when he left the princess's mansion? Chen Pu, who was waiting at the corner of the street, gritted his teeth and thought about it, and then ordered: "You go and ask again, where might Yan Du go?" ”

The female guard went over this time, even if she stabbed the hornet's nest. She just walked to the door of the post house, and Chen Pu and the others saw a few clusters of black shadows swaying under a string of lanterns, and then they heard someone shouting in a low voice: "This mother-in-law is not bad!" Catch them one by one and interrogate them carefully! Go to a few people and search both ends of the street to see if she has any accomplices! I heard the female guard struggling to defend: "I am from the Changsha Princess's Mansion!" I'm General Feng......" The voice stopped abruptly, obviously either covering or gagged.

In this case, it is impossible for Chen Pu to come forward. If she didn't go out again, maybe the bandits would really torture the guards' "accomplices".

Before she could move the place, she heard someone behind her sneering pitifully: "Hey, I really let Bao Weiwei guess correctly, there is indeed a helper hidden here!" Feed them one by one, don't move a few people, otherwise don't blame us for being ruthless. As he spoke, a dozen figures flashed out of the darkness from the corners of the wall, and under the torches and lanterns, everyone could be seen carrying a guy in their hands, three or five of them still holding knives in their mouths, and in their hands they held black crossbows, and the sharp crossbow arrows and arrows flashed with a dazzling black light. Or the voice sneered coldly and said, "Jiu Niangzi, you are really bold enough, you dare to go into the capital to find us adults one by one, and you are impatient?" ”

"Duan Four!" Liao Pheasant grabbed in front of Chen Pu, and opened his mouth to reveal the identity of that person. "This is Chen Zhuguo! Why don't you put away all the knives and arrows?! ”

Duan Si spat and scolded: "What Chen Zhuguo bird Zhuguo!" When your grandfather Duan is a three-year-old nurse, that's it...... This ......" he suddenly began to stammer. He could see roughly who they were surrounding them. God! Is this really the fucking Chen Zhuguo? Emperor Bodhisattva! This black light is blinding, what is she doing here? Isn't this fucking harmful?

While speaking, Bao Kansuza also rushed over with someone, and saw that it was Chen Pu and Liao Pheasant and several other female guards, and they were all bluffed on the spot. Bao Kan reacted quickly, suddenly stopped his feet while running, and said "urgency to go to the thatched house", and slipped into the darkness without knowing where to go. As soon as Chen Pu and the others turned around, Duan Si and a few veterans who knew Chen Pu's identity also disappeared quietly, leaving only Su Zha and a dozen or so guys who didn't understand what was going on for a while.

Su Zha hurriedly threw the knife to the person next to him, came over to give Chen Pu a military salute first, and then rubbed his hands and didn't know how to explain. He said embarrassedly: "General, look, look at this...... We thought it was the female bandit Jiu Niangzi who came to seek revenge. ”

Chen Pu was embarrassed than him. This group of Yanshan soldiers probably knew that Shang Cheng was a guest in her house today, but as a result, her master was not at home to entertain the guests, but she ran to the post house to find guests...... She explained incoherently: "Yan Du has something to do, he left before the banquet, and pulled some things in my house, I am sending him the things he left behind......"

Suza obviously didn't expect the dignified pillar country to sneakily touch the post house, and it turned out to be for this matter. There are countless strange things behind this, why did the commander leave suddenly? What did he pull down in the princess's mansion? Even if he pulls down something, Chen Zhuguo can just send someone back casually, why do you have to go in person? And the whereabouts are so mysterious......

He wisely didn't ask anything, just said, "It's really troublesome General." Then, the general will give me the things. ”

There weren't many gifts for Wen Mu, and the two soldiers came over and moved back to the post house with a cage. But Su Zha saw that Chen Pu still didn't mean to leave after handing over the things, so he asked tentatively: "The general still has something to discuss with my family commander?" ”

That's right! It's just that there's something to look for him! And it's urgent, it's a priority!

"Then please wait in the post house first." Suza said very respectfully and politely, "Let's send people to find the governor separately." "As for how to find the law, he doesn't have the slightest idea that it is as big as Yiyi Jingshi, there are so many prosperous places, and there are many princes' mansions, where does he go to find the commander? No matter what, let's invite Chen Zhuguo into the post house first, and when she is impatient to wait, she will naturally leave......
