It's been two years, and the wing room where Du Qianrui lives is still there, and even the furnishings haven't changed. She picked up the bronze mirror on the dresser, sighed at the mirror, and wiped it with a handkerchief, it was still so blurry, and the mirror had not been polished. She sat down on a round stool with great familiarity, and looked up to see that the purple curtain in front of the carved window was still there; The futon on top of the stool was woven with Shu brocade, and she had carefully read it two years ago.

Du Qianrui has only lived here for a few months, but suddenly she feels like she is back to her parents' home. It is said that the woman of the rich and noble family, even if she marries, will stay in the boudoir for a long time.

She sat on a stool, her elbows resting on the desk, propping up her delicate chin, and there she froze for a moment. After many days of turbulence, she felt very tired, but when she arrived at the Gaoyang County Palace, she also felt relieved and relaxed. She likes the feeling of sitting here and doing nothing once in a while.

At this moment, Wang Gui's sharp voice said, "Miss Du, is Miss Du inside?" ”

Du Qiandao: "If the door is hidden, I will open the door to the prince." ”

After hearing this, Wang Gui pushed the door open, stood at the door and said, "The prince confessed, Miss Du will not live here in the future, go to the inner hall to live." ”

Wang Gui's voice is relatively sharp, but his bones are thick, just looking at him, he doesn't look like a eunuch, but he doesn't have a beard.

"Huh?" Du Qianrui was a little surprised at first, then stood up and said, "But it's up to the princess's arrangement." ”

Wang Gui saw that she didn't bring anything, so he turned around and left first, and Du Qianrui hurriedly followed.

"Before going out, the prince specially explained and arranged a room with a larger window for Miss Du." Wang Gui said without looking back as he walked.

Du Qianrui suddenly remembered that she told Zhu Gaoxu more than two years ago that when she was a child, she was a girl who was red because of the small window and uncomfortable eyes...... Hearing this, she found that Zhu Gaoxu still remembered that little thing. She blushed and said softly: "Don't be embarrassed, just an empty room, the rooms in the palace are big and bright." ”

"Miss Du is sensible, but the prince personally explained, our family will try our best to do it." Wang Gui's tone didn't seem to be too kind. I don't know if Du Qianrui feels wrong.

The two walked back and forth to the middle gatehouse, Wang Gui turned his head and said in a deep voice, "The prince trusts Miss Du very much, and Miss Du can't let him down." If you see something, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, don't say anything you shouldn't say, you know? ”

"Understood." Miss Du was puzzled, but immediately agreed. She said to herself: Is there something unsightly in the inner hall?

She didn't say much, silently followed Wang Gui, walked over from the eaves corridor, and entered a room next to an osmanthus tree.

Wang Gui left quickly, and Du Qianrui walked back and forth in the room, and found that this place was larger than the wing room in the outer hall, with a warm pavilion and an ear room next to it.

The biggest difference between the houses in the county king's mansion and ordinary houses is that they are willing to use large wood, and the rooms are spacious and bright. Du Qianrui glanced at the windows above the cases, and it was really spacious.

There was a collapse next to it, and Du Qianrui sat down on the couch, suddenly feeling very soft and comfortable, and simply lay down lazily on her side. The inner hall was quieter than the front hall, and Du Qianrui didn't want to get up when she leaned on the couch.

When she woke up, she realized that she had fallen asleep at some point. She sat up and saw that it was already dimly lit outside, and she was covered with a woolen blanket.

A round stool with a stack of clothes and a food box on the table. Du Qianrui opened the food box and saw that there was a white porcelain bowl inside, containing fried lamb with green onions and white rice. When she reached out, it felt a little warm.

There was a stove and an iron kettle in the room. After Du Qianrui ate, she was busy boiling water, bathing and changing clothes, and changing her clothes...... After working for a while, she realized that there was really no one in the inner hall! What Wang Gui said before didn't seem to be just talking; But except that no one was moving, Du Qianrui didn't find anything strange.

After dark, the door rang a few times, and Zhu Gaoxu's voice came: "Miss Du hasn't gone to bed yet?" ”

"Nope." Du Qianrui hurriedly replied, "Wait a minute, ...... prince"

She hurried to the dresser, reached out and pulled up a piece of green silk, and looked carefully at the blurry bronze mirror, and then hurried to pull the latch.

Zhu Gaoxu stood at the door, the two looked at each other, Du Qianrui's eyes flickered, and hurriedly avoided it. He said, "I suddenly thought of something that I didn't ask you, and I went in and said?" ”

Du Qianrui's face turned red and said in a panic: "Oh! The prince is invited to come in. ”

"It's not too early...... Zhu Gaoxu closed the door, sat down on a stool, and muttered, "I reviewed my experience of going to Beijing several times before, and I thought that some places were a little strange, so I hurried to talk to Miss Du. ”

Du Qianrui asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said, "You waited for me outside the Jiangdong Gate that day, but I didn't come. Monk Qingyuan came to you and said something? ”

Du Qianrui stretched out her hand and rubbed her forehead, thought about it for a while, and said, "Qingyuan asked us, have you seen anyone in the past few days?" I remembered that the prince went out with the cat in his arms, and said that he might have seen a person......"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "When the little Ni Yao Ji of Jiming Temple was looking for a cat, I saw her, but Miss Du was not in the attic at that time. I also suddenly remembered this subtlety. ”

Du Qianrui said softly: "Qingyuan asked who the person he saw was again, and I said I didn't see it." Later, he asked again, I remembered the little nun of Jiming Temple, so I told her. ”

Zhu Gaoxu was silent.

After a long while, he asked, "I didn't arrive at the inn outside the Jiangdong Gate as scheduled, you must be very worried, what is Miss Du most worried about?" ”

Du Qianrui immediately replied: "At that time, I was very scared, and what I was most worried about was whether the prince was caught!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu fell silent again.

When it came to the little nun Yao Ji, Du Qianrui's emotions were also very complicated, she felt pitiful to Yao Ji, but she couldn't help but feel a little hostile. I don't know why, Du Qianrui hasn't even seen Yao Ji's face, but she just doesn't like her.

Maybe it's because Yao Ji saved Zhu Gaoxu, but Du Qianrui didn't.

But in fact, all this is useless. Du Qianrui has been committed to Zhu Gaoxu since she left home...... But she knew very well that King Gaoyang would have a princess of the county, definitely not her, and it could not be Yao Ji.

Du Qianrui already knew that most of the rich and noble families had three wives and four concubines, but no matter how much truth she said, thinking that Zhu Gaoxu was close to other women, she couldn't stand it in her heart. I just can't help it.

…… Zhu Gaoxu felt that something was wrong before: Qingyuan was able to find him so quickly, it was too powerful! But it turned out that I thought I was lucky, and it happened that Du Qianrui mentioned Xiao Ni.

However, now Zhu Gaoxu learned from Du Qianrui's mouth: When it comes to the existence of the little nun Yao Ji, it is not Du Qianrui's meticulousness, but Qingyuan's temptation! It's even more strange when you think about it.

However, Zhu Gaoxu could not be sure about this matter.

He made a bold imagination: assuming that Yao Ji and Qingyuan knew each other before, she would first go to Monk Qingyuan and inform Zhu Gaoxu that he was with her; Then there's nothing wrong with that.

Qingyuan is a spy in Yanwangfu, so is Yao Ji? In that case, why didn't she reveal her identity, so that she had to go through a lot of trouble?

Zhu Gaoxu was very confused and couldn't figure it out for a while.

He stood up from the round stool and asked kindly, "Is Miss Du used to living in this room?" ”

Du Qianrui said softly: "It's bigger than the wing room in the outer hall, and I thank the prince for his kindness." ”

"It's been a long journey, and Miss Du should rest early." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Zhu Gaoxu returned to his bedroom, feeling tired, but he couldn't sleep because he thought about it for too long, and he felt very uncomfortable. It's not just the body that's uncomfortable, it's also the mind.

……

Zheng He didn't have the slightest rest, and set off from Beiping, and rushed to the Yan army camp on the Hutuo River day and night.

When King Yan saw him, he ordered the soldiers to retreat, leaving only his henchmen and civil warriors. Zheng He immediately reported the details of the Jingshi to King Yan, and after speaking, he said: "When something suddenly went wrong in the Jingshi, King Gaoyang was in danger, he couldn't see the governor Chen Xuan. ”

"It doesn't matter." Yao Guangxiao's triangular eyes became brighter and brighter, "As long as the situation is favorable in the future, Chen Xuan will have someone to convince!" The prince doesn't have to worry. ”

"Hmm......" Yan Wang made a voice, as if he agreed, but maybe not, he looked pensive.

Zheng He finished talking about how King Gaoyang was thrilling, and then he got away with hiding in the coffin, and at this moment, I don't know how King Yan feels, does he feel that he has treated King Gaoyang badly?

Zheng He couldn't guess King Yan's thoughts, but in his heart, among the three sons of King Yan, King Gaoyang contributed the most and worked harder, and the other two princes were almost hiding in Beiping!

But it didn't matter what Zheng He thought, and it was impossible for him to persuade King Yan...... The henchmen and advisers around King Yan can comment on a few princes, but Zheng He can't! After all, although the strategists are close, it is difficult to get close to the living clothes and food of King Yan; No matter how many tricks he makes, the final decision can only be made by King Yan himself.

That eunuch Huang Yan is also a confidant of King Yan, but now he is sent to serve the third prince, will there be this reason? Huang Yan's intimacy with the three princes has an obvious tendency. Zheng He thought of this, and secretly looked forward to the fate of Huang Yan's house.

At this time, Yao Guangxiao also stopped his mouth and did not continue to persuade tirelessly.

In fact, King Yan can send the second prince to risk his life, and he should have a certain number in his heart. Sure enough, he said: "If Shandong doesn't take it, there is no way for us to retreat, and Sheng Yong can go west at any time to cut off our grain route and retreat." ”

Yao Guangxiao's voice said: "The strategy of Linjiang is originally a strategy with no way out; Fengtian is difficult, and there is no way out in the first place. Why should the prince think about retreating again? ”

King Yan slowly paced and walked out of the big tent, and Zheng He and the others followed.

It was getting late, and the firelight on the other side of the Hutuo River was reflected in the sky like a fire dragon, and the sky was orange and yellow.
