58: What purpose?
The two followed the man all the way into an alley.
"It's time for you to make a move!" At this time, the prince reminded her.
When Shen Lan heard this, he hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and said to himself: "Seeing that your aunt and grandmother don't beat you, you can't even recognize your father and mother." ”
Just when the man was whistling, suddenly a sack fell from the sky and caught him, punched and kicked, and beat him crying dad and calling his mother!
In the end, the prince left quickly with Lan Xin.
"Hahaha, it's so cool, it's the coolest I've ever played in my life." Shen Lanxin's mood was so excited.
"It's good to know kung fu, not only to protect yourself but also to save people."
The prince said with a smile: "Although it is very cool to fight, it is better for a girl's family not to fight, it is very dangerous!" ”
Shen Lan smiled in his heart and disagreed.
Before they knew it, the two of them stayed outside for a day, and the sun gradually set.
In the morning, he was angry with Gao Xu, so he drank a bowl of porridge, this day he was flying and beating people, consuming too much physical strength, Lan Xin's stomach was already grumbling with hunger.
The prince smiled: "Hungry, let's go, I'll take you to eat our most famous specialty of Dongyang." ”
The prince took Shen Lanxin to the most luxurious restaurant in Dongyang, Qilin Restaurant.
As soon as I entered, more than a dozen juniors were all wearing exactly the same clothes, shuttling between the dining tables, which was also a beautiful scenery in the restaurant.
"It's really a luxurious restaurant, even Xiao Er's clothes are the same." Shen Lanxin couldn't help but praise.
At this time, Xiao Er greeted him with a smile, "Hello two guest officers." ”
Xiao Er saw that the prince was dressed extraordinary, so he took the two directly to the private room on the second floor.
After the two sat down, Xiao Er hurriedly poured tea and water for the two, and then asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat?" ”
The prince said lightly: "Bring up all the signature dishes you have here, remember half of the portion, it's a waste!" ”
"Yes, guest officer."
The prince said again: "Also, another plate of carrots and fried lean meat, a normal amount, and then looked at Shen Lanxin: "What do you like to eat?" ”
Shen Lan's heart fluttered, "Me? …… You've already ordered what I like! ”
The prince also shook his head, and then smiled: "Do you also like carrot fried meat?" ”
Shen Lanxin nodded.
The prince said to Xiao Er: Then let's do it! ”
"Add two more bowls of rice." Shen Lanxin interjected, and smiled at him after speaking.
"Okay, guest officer, please wait a moment, I'll let the kitchen prepare."
After Xiao Er went out.
The prince stared at her incredulously.
"I can't believe that we not only have the same interests, but also have the same tastes now."
Shen Lanxin picked up the teacup and said disapprerovingly: "Is there anything strange?" ”
The prince's expression was a little more playful: "Isn't it strange? One identical habit is a coincidence, and two are not. ”
Shen Lanxin took a sip of tea and glanced at him, "What do you want to say?" ”
"I would say it's providence." The prince looked at her thoughtfully.
Shen Lan put down the teacup with a heavy heart. "Please don't look at me with such eyes, okay, you're a naked snoop, it makes me very uncomfortable." After speaking, Shen Lan glanced at him.
The prince smiled slightly, "I'm sorry. ”
After a while, the dishes were all ready.
"I'm starving." Shen Lan's heart was almost hungry, and she devoured it in front of her regardless of her image.
The prince was amused by her feasting, "Why do you eat the same way as my sister?" ”
Shen Lanxin smiled calmly: "It's ugly, isn't it?" ”
The prince smiled.
Shen Lanxin's movements slowed down slightly, and after swallowing the contents in his mouth, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm used to it." ”
The prince smiled: "It's nothing, I'm used to it, let's eat it." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lanxin continued to eat her meal.
During the banquet, the prince helped her pick up the dishes, and Shen Lanxin took it. "Thank you."
After a while, Shen Lanxin was almost finished, and the dishes on the table were basically wiped out by the two.
The prince asked, "Do you want anything else?" ”
Shen Lan hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, it's just right, you really know how to order, each plate is half the amount, so the price is cheap and won't be wasted." ”
The prince poured a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "It's good that you are full, don't be polite to me." ”
Shen Lanxin shook his head with a smile and glanced outside again, "It's all this time, are we going back?" ”
The prince put down the teacup and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, I'll take you to a place later!" ”
Shen Lan's heart fluttered, "Do you want to go somewhere?" ”
The crown prince nodded and said, "Do you plan to bring all this silver back to the palace?" ”
Shen Lan's heart was suddenly. "Oh, I forgot," she scratched her head, "so when are we going to start?" ”
The prince said lightly: "It's still early, wait a little longer." ”
So the two of them chatted in the room to pass the time.
At this time, the prince looked at her and said calmly, "Did you quarrel with King Qing?" ”
When Shen Lanxin heard this, his face immediately fell, "How do you know?" ”
The prince smiled slightly: "Your expression is so obvious, I can't see that I'm afraid you're blind." ”
"yes." She confessed, and was not afraid that he would know.
At this time, the prince took the tea and glanced at her, and asked, "Because of what?" Can you tell us about it? Suddenly he was interested in knowing.
As soon as he mentioned it, he got angry, and Shen Lan said with a flat mouth: "He scolded me for being stupid, stupid, and easy to trust people." ”
The prince couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
When he smiled like this, Shen Lanxin felt even more troubled, and his face was cold, "Isn't it funny?" ”
The prince smiled and said, "I think he's right. ”
"You think I'm stupid and stupid too?" Shen Lanxin's expression was a little aggrieved.
The prince said lightly: "I'm so stupid and stupid that I don't know, I just know that you can easily trust people." After speaking, he took a sip of tea.
Shen Lan's expression changed slightly, and he raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?" ”
Li Yuanshi put down the tea and said seriously: "Then, just take you now, aren't you afraid that I will do some bad things to you if I bring you out?" ”
Shen Lanxin sneered, "Cut, plotting against you? You're the crown prince, do you still need to be sneaky about what you want to do? So I'm sure you won't. ”
The prince shook his head and smiled helplessly, "You are so simple, some things are not as simple as you think, you don't know that there are too many bad people in this world, there are many people with twisted hearts, and the bad things they do are often beyond the imagination of normal people." ”
Mental twists? His words were like a slap in the face.
The prince saw that her expression had changed a little, so he teased: "What, a little scared?" ”
Shen Lanxin didn't respond to him, thinking, he doesn't look like a bad person!
Seeing her appearance was really funny, the prince said: "Don't worry, my psychology is normal, so I won't do anything bad to you." ”
There was something playful about his tone.
Shen Lan smiled wryly.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Gao Xu had been restless all day, and had been waiting for her to come back, but it was already dark, and he hadn't seen her come back, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
He's worried about her! Every minute felt so long, and the two of them were angry that his morning meal was also tasteless, and they didn't see the two of them come back at lunchtime, so they would be even less in the mood for dinner.
He was standing outside like a wooden man waiting for her, unaware that the two of them were flying around on the rooftops of the house-to-house at the moment.
After a while, the two stopped on the dilapidated roof of a house.
The prince uncovered a tile from the roof, and Lan Xin saw that the floor of the house was full of messy straw, and many ragged children were lying on it.
Shen Lanxin opened the bag in her hand, took out a handful of broken silver that had been exchanged before and threw it down, and the children got up one after another to see when they heard the sound, it was silver.
"It's silver, everyone get up quickly, there will be silver in the sky, and tomorrow we will have something to eat."
Seeing the happy appearance of the children, Shen Lan was happy in his heart.
Then they came to another house, and the prince lifted the tiles as usual.
A woman was sitting on the bed holding a little girl, and the little girl was eating steamed buns and said, "Mother, I want to eat meat." ”
"Good, eat the steamed buns first, and you will have meat."
The prince threw the silver down with a whoosh, and the little girl, who was leaning on the woman's arms, heard the noise and looked on the ground and saw that it was silver.
Hurriedly shook the woman: "Mother...... Mother, you see, there is silver on the ground. ”
When the women were confused, Shen Lanxin threw another handful of silver.
When the little girl saw that there was another piece of silver crackling and falling down, she exclaimed, "Mother, there is silver again." ”
The woman hurriedly got out of bed, picked up the silver, and was overjoyed, "It's really silver," and the woman hurriedly took the child and knelt on the ground together, and said while snorting, "Thank you, thank you, thank you."
Then the prince took her to donate money from house to house, and the bag of silver quickly deflated.
Finally, they came to a remote dilapidated house, and looked through the window to see an oil lamp burning on the table.
An elderly woman was lying on the bed coughing.
"It's all useless to me, and I don't even have the money to get you medicine." An old man sat on the edge of the bed and sighed.
Shen Lan looked at it, wasn't that the old man during the day?
"Forget it, old man, you're fine." The old woman comforted, and coughed a few more times.
Seeing this, Shen Lanxin's eyes felt a little sour. She opened the money bag and wanted to grab a handful, but after thinking about it, she threw the remaining silver in her hand through the window, along with the cloth bag, and turned to leave.
The old man picked up the bag on the ground, put it on the table and opened it, and saw that there were more than a hundred taels of silver.
He shouted excitedly: "Old woman, we have money to get medicine." ”
He hurriedly shouted out the window: "Thank you good people, thank you good people!" ”
On the way back to the palace, Shen Lanxin was still being carried by Li Yuanshi on the roof, the night breeze was blowing in her ears, she had never robbed the rich and helped the poor in this way like today, she was very excited, and at the same time very touched, today was really an unforgettable day for her.
Back at Jingyuexuan, it was already midnight.
She crept in, and a voice suddenly sounded, startling her, she thought that everyone was asleep, but she didn't expect that there were still people who didn't.
"You're back?" It's the voice of Gao Xu.
She suddenly stood up and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"Where did you go with him?" Gao Xu's tone was not questioning, but asking.
Shen Lan was angry and said, "Does this have nothing to do with you?" He said and went straight to his room.
Gao Xu said with a cold face: "Do you know that I waited for you for a day?" ”
Shen Lanxin suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "His Royal Highness King Qing, I didn't say that you should wait for me!" ”
Gao Xu: "......
Shen Lanxin threw down a hard sentence and went back to the room.
It seems that she is still angry with him, and she is really angry.
The next day, Gao Xu was going to apologize to her, but he didn't expect to be invited away by the prince early in the morning.
When Shen Lanxin got up, she found that no one was there, so she decided to go to the queen, she inquired about the palace maid of Jingyuexuan, it turned out that the queen lived in Fengyi Palace, and Shen Lanxin inquired about the location of Fengyi Palace by the way, so she went to Fengyi Palace.
Turning around, Shen Lan's heart was a little confused, he had already forgotten the location of Fengyi Palace, and after listening to the palace maid, he knew that Fengyi Palace must not be close to Jingyuexuan.
All morning, Shen Lan's heart didn't understand, it would be dark if she walked like this, no, she had to find someone to ask, and after a while, she saw two palace maids walking in her direction.
Shen Lanxin hurriedly stepped forward to stop the two of them, and asked with a smile: "May I ask, how is Fengyi Palace going?" ”
"Fengyi Palace? Isn't that it. One of the palace maids pointed to the three huge words on her head and said.
It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, it turns out to be in front of her! Shen Lan's heart couldn't help but be a little excited.
Seeing that the two palace maids were walking away, Shen Lanxin lay on the gate of Fengyi Palace and looked inside, and after looking for a long time, she couldn't see anything, the gate of Fengyi Palace was wide and high, how could she get in?
After thinking about it, she decided to climb the wall.
She stepped on the stone next to her, holding the pillar next to the door with both hands, and rubbed it up little by little.
When she reached the middle, she gasped, her arms still some distance from the wall, so she continued to climb, at a snail's pace, little by little.
When she finally climbed to the point where she could reach out and grab the wall, Shen Lanxin used all her strength, grabbed the wall with both hands, and one leg also followed up, just when she was about to successfully climb over the wall of Fengyi Palace, suddenly a voice remembered......
"Who?" This sound suddenly frightened her and fell down again.
Oops......
The crown prince flew forward, hurriedly picked her up, and said sharply: "What a bold man dares to break into Fengyi Palace, come and hand it over to the emperor." ”
As soon as he heard that it was handed over to the emperor, Shen Lanxin hurriedly said, "Prince, it's me." ”
When the prince heard it, his voice was so familiar, and when he saw it, it turned out to be Shen Da. Slightly surprised, "Why are you?" ”
Shen Lan smiled in his heart, rubbed his arm, and did not speak.
The crown prince took her back to Showa Palace.
He put his hands on his shoulders and turned his back to Shen Lanxin! After a long time, he turned around and asked with a solemn expression: "I already knew that your motives for entering the palace were not pure, who are you?" Why did you sneakily break into Fengyi Palace? What is the purpose of you and King Qing coming to Tanglin? ”
Shen Lan saw that he couldn't escape, so he had no choice but to recruit.
Faced with a series of questions from the prince, Shen Lanxin decided to answer them to him one by one.
She spoke: "I can answer your question, but before I answer, I want to state first, first of all, we have motives, but I am not a bad person, and King Qing is not a bad person. ”
His eyes flashed as he listened to her continue.
Shen Lan's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "He is the king of Nanling Qing, you already know his identity, as for me, I am just the daughter of a folk doctor, and my name is Shen Lanxin." ”
"Shen Lanxin?" He whispered, looking around her. And Shen Lan's heart straightened, and he calmly let him look at it.
The crown prince returned to her and asked, "Do you know what place Fengyi Palace is?" ”
Shen Lan didn't care: "I know, of course it's where the queen lives." ”
The prince said incredulously: "I know why you are still breaking in, what is your purpose?" ”
Shen Lan said without thinking: "I'm here to save people." ”
"Saving people?" The prince was stunned for a moment, very confused. "Save whom?" He didn't know who was so important to her that he risked his life.
The prince looked at Lan Xin with a horrified look in his eyes, his eyes full of incredulity.
Shen Lan said seriously: "I am here to save my friend, he is now in danger, and the only one who can save him now is Feng Fa."
The prince was surprised. "Fengfa?"
Shen Lan saw that he was surprised, so he said softly: "It's the queen's hair." ”
The prince's face gradually returned to calm, "So, you sneakily climbed to the wall of Fengyi Palace just for Fengfa?" ”
Shen Lanxin nodded: "Yes, it's all to blame for your emperor's disagreement, so I can't help but climb the wall!" We've been delayed for half the time, and if we can't get Fengfa after half a month, my friend will definitely die, so King Qing will let me pretend to be his little servant and enter the palace with him. ”
"But this matter has nothing to do with him at all, he is purely here to help me, if you want to arrest me, you can arrest me, if you want to kill or chop, listen to him, but don't arrest him, I don't want to affect the friendly relations between the two countries because of my personal reasons."
The prince pondered, all the doubts in his heart were solved, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Shen Lan, who was laughing, was confused, and she looked at him vigilantly: "Why are you laughing?" ”
The prince smiled and said helplessly: "I don't know whether to call you smart or stupid!" How could Feng Fa be able to get his hands on it casually? ”
Shen Lanxin could hear that he was saying that he was not able to do his best, but so what, obviously he didn't care what he didn't think, thinking of this, he heard the other party say: "But I'm really glad for that friend of yours, to have such a friend who values love and righteousness and is not afraid of life and death." ”
Respect love and righteousness, not afraid of life and death! She smiled bitterly, "What's the use, it won't save his life in the end." She couldn't help but feel saddened.
There was silence for a moment, and at this time, the prince smiled faintly and said, "I'll help you with this favor." ”
"Can you help me?" Lan Xin was dumbfounded and stared at him in disbelief, "Are you kidding me?" ”
Shen Lan thought to himself, he must be joking, but his expression looked so serious!
The crown prince looked solemn. "Do you think I'm joking?"
Indeed, he doesn't look like he's joking.
Shen Lanxin stared at the prince's eyes, carefully studying his expression. "Why are you helping me?"
The prince disagreed: "Do you still need a reason to help others?" ”
Shen Lan sneered in his heart, "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's better to say it generously, what are your intentions or what are your conditions?" ”
The prince shook his head and said lightly: "Unconditional." ”
Shen Lanxin still didn't believe his words.
Shen Lan looked at him with a suspicious look, "I don't believe it, we are not related, you will help me unconditionally?" ”
Speaking of this, she asked, "Do you have any intentions for me?" She asked tentatively.
The prince smiled slyly: "If so!" Is it possible for you to consider it? ”
Shen Lan's heart was silent, but there were already waves in her heart, she guessed correctly, he approached her, and sure enough, he had all his intentions for himself.
She simply said, "There is no need to think about it, and I will not accept your help." ”
The prince said with great interest: "You think, if you accept my help, you will not only get prosperity and wealth, but also your friends will be saved, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds!" ”
Shen Lan said disdainfully: "I'm not rare. ”
The prince said coldly: "Then you don't want to save your friend?" You know that you can't save your friends on your own. The prince's eyes were like torches, aggressive, trying to break the bottom line of her heart.
But how did he know that not only did he not break through Shen Lanxin's bottom line, but he didn't even break through his first layer of protection.
Shen Lanxin didn't want to waste her tongue with this kind of person, and it was blasphemy to say anything more, so she simply didn't answer him, turned around and left, her actions were already very clear.
"Stop."
Shen Lanxin was stopped by him, turned around and said impatiently: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't have time to waste words with you here." ”
The prince suddenly laughed loudly, "I'm just joking with you. ”
"Jokes?" Shen Lan's heart fluttered, and then he said in a very disdainful tone: "This joke is not funny at all.
The prince said solemnly: "Originally, I thought that you would sell yourself for your friends with such affection and righteousness. ”
"Sell yourself?" Shen Lanxin sneered: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you think too much, I am not so noble, there are many ways to save people, do you think that your charity is the salvation of others?" ”
The prince smiled.
The two were silent for a while,
The prince said with a solemn face: "Actually, I don't have that kind of mind for you. ”
Shen Lanxin was slightly stunned, "Don't have that mind?" Then why do you want to help me, you are courteous and courteous, you are either a traitor or a thief, you have confused me. ”
The prince said lightly: "To be honest, I don't know why I want to help you, but I just want to help you, and there is no reason." ”
His eyes were as clear as water, and his expression was frank and open, and he couldn't see a trace of anything unusual.
Shen Lanxin couldn't help but sneer. "You're a strange person."
The prince smiled calmly, and couldn't help exchanging deep gazes with Shen Lanxin
At this time, Princess Yuanli suddenly broke into the Showa Palace, and the two stopped talking.
"Big brother, I haven't seen your figure for the past few days, where have you gone?" Princess Yuanli ran in like a gust of wind.
The prince asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”
Princess Yuanli stepped forward and shook the prince's sleeve and said coquettishly: "People are so bored that they want to find you to ride a horse." ”
"Horseback riding?" Prince Li shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten what the queen mother told you?" ”
Princess Yuanli said playfully: "That's why I came to you, just don't let the queen mother know." ”
"Be obedient, don't go." The crown prince rejected her.
"Big brother......." Princess Yuanli pouted and continued to shake his sleeve and pleaded.
Princess Yuanli pleaded with a bitter face: "Big brother, don't you love me the most?" What do you think I've become in Qingyang Palace? ”
"My father didn't have time to pay attention to me, and my mother was in charge of me all day long, and she grounded me at every turn, and even you ignored me?"
Princess Yuanli looked pitiful.
Seeing the princess's pitiful appearance, and unable to stand her soft grinding and hard bubbles, the prince frowned, so he had to agree.
"I'm not free right now, tomorrow, will I take you there tomorrow?" The prince said with a doting face.
"Really?" Princess Yuanli looked surprised, and the haze on her face was suddenly swept away. "That's settled, I'll come back to you tomorrow!" After saying that, he ran out with a smile.
