"Prince, Princess." Father-in-law Fu stepped forward and called out with a complicated expression.

Xiao Xun waved his hand at him, and asked with a grim face, "But my father ordered you to go to Kunning Palace to find the palace and the crown princess?" ”

Gonggong Fu looked at the face of the prince in front of him, and nodded cautiously, "The prince forgives me, the emperor also heard the bad news of the little princess's death at first glance, and he was sad to lose his normal heart." ”

"Hongu understands." Xiao Xun glanced at Gonggong Fu coldly, took Lu Nianjin's hand and walked towards Qixiang Palace.

Father-in-law Fu hurriedly followed.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince and the crown princess have arrived. Entering the inner hall, Gonggong Fu bent down, lowered his voice, and said to the emperor who was standing in front of Concubine Ning's bed.

When the emperor heard this, he turned around slowly, his eyes were cloudy, he looked at Lu Nianjin for a moment, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice, "It's you, who refuse to stay in the palace to take care of Wanhui?" ”

Xiao Wanhui is the name of the little princess.

"Yes!" Lu Nianjin said.

"It's you, called away Imperial Doctor Chen?"

"Yes!"

"Good...... Good! The emperor gritted his teeth and said hello twice, and the next moment, he raised his slap and was about to slap Lu Nianjin in the face.

Lu Nianjin felt that there was a palm wind coming, she subconsciously closed her eyes and frowned.

Minutes and seconds passed......

But the imaginary pain did not come, she clenched her fingers, gently fluttered her eyelashes, and opened her eyes, only to see that the emperor's wrist was cut in the air by Xiao Xun, clenching it hard.

"The prince is going to stab you?!"

The emperor didn't expect that the crown prince, who he had cultivated single-handedly, would do something with him because of a woman, he looked at him in shock, disappointment and annoyance, and shouted.

There were timid palace people in the dormitory, who were so frightened by this roar that their legs weakened, and they pounced, and fell directly to the ground, and the whole person fell to the ground.

"Erchen doesn't dare." Xiao Xun forcefully pulled Lu Nianjin behind him, and then let go of the emperor's wrist and said.

The emperor snorted coldly, his face turned red, and he stared at him deadly, "You two go to the little princess's mourning hall and kneel, and no one will get up without my permission." ”

“…… What does my father mean by this, does he regard Jin'er as a female doctor? ”

It didn't matter if Xiao Xun was punished for kneeling, but when Lu Nianjin was punished, he touched his scales, he raised his head, looked directly at the emperor and asked.

The emperor was questioned by Xiao Xun like this, and became even more angry, he looked at him with red eyes, and said with a brushing of his sleeves, "Prince, Wanhui is not only a princess, she is also your own sister!" ”

"Really?" Xiao Xun pursed his lips and looked at the emperor with some mockery, "According to what my father said, Concubine Lu and Concubine Jing are still the concubines of their sons, so should they also treat their sons as their own?" ”

Hearing Xiao Xun mention Lu Guifei, the emperor froze there all of a sudden. He thought of nineteen years ago, nineteen years later, Lu Guifei gave Xiao Xun and Xiao Ji poisoned...... Where is this called treating as one's own, it is clearly as deep as the sea!

Oh, yes! Where is the royal family!

But he was angry and thought left.

The emperor looked at Xiao Xun distractedly, and his eyes were suddenly full of guilt.

After a long time, he waved his hand weakly, "You and the princess go to put incense on Wanhui, and then leave the palace!" ”

"Yes, Father." Xiao Xun bowed in response, then took Lu Nianjin's hand and walked out with her.

When he got outside, Lu Nianjin immediately withdrew his hand, looked at him and said, "You are too disrespectful to the emperor." ”

Xiao Xun listened to her accusation, glanced at her lightly, and said, "If the crown princess is dissatisfied, she can kneel for a few more hours after the incense is finished!" ”

Lu Nianjin glanced at her unhappily and said, "I'm not a masochist, of course I won't kneel if I can." ”

Xiao Xun didn't speak again, and the two walked towards the mourning hall in silence.

After arriving at the mourning hall, Lu Nianjin lit six incense sticks, handed three to Xiao Xun, held three by himself, bowed deeply, and inserted them into the incense burner.

"May you be able to join an ordinary family in the next life, with a father and mother who love you, brothers and sisters who are close to you, and a husband who cherishes you...... Forget all the pains of this life! She looked at the coffin of the little princess and prayed for her silently.

Xiao Xun didn't have these complicated psychological activities, and after he finished the incense, he took Lu Nianjin and left.

"Slave maid send the princess and the prince out!" When the two passed by Shuangying, Shuangying suddenly said in a low voice.

When Lu Nianjin heard this, he glanced at her sideways, and after a moment of silence, he nodded slightly.

Shuangying led the way in front and led her and Xiao Xun towards the outside of the hall, she was silent all the way, and sent the two of them to the outside of Qixiang Palace in a dumb manner, and then returned to the side hall of the spiritual hall.

"Hold it more naturally, put the note away, and look at it when you get out of the palace." After a long way from opening the Xiang Palace, Xiao Xun tilted his head sideways and reminded Lu Nianjin in a deep voice.

When Lu Nianjin heard Xiao Xun say this, he hurriedly loosened his clenched five fingers, raised his head, and looked at him and smiled stiffly.

When I arrived at the junction of the inner and outer palaces, I had my own sedan chair and waited there.

"Get on the sedan chair!" Xiao Xun said to Lu Nianjin.

Lu Nianjin nodded and walked towards the sedan chair.

Two quarters of an hour later, the two of them left the palace and got into the golden chariot of the National Teacher's Mansion.

As soon as they sat down on their front feet, the golden chariot on their back feet clattered forward, Xiao Xun stretched out his hand and removed the black cloth on the box on the side wall of the carriage where the Night Pearl was stored, and the next moment, the clear luster of the Night Pearl covered the entire carriage.

He glanced at Lu Nianjin meaningfully.

Lu Nianjin unfolded the note that Shuangying gave her, and saw a sentence written messily on it: Nu Zeng saw the nurse stabbing the little princess with a silver needle.

"So, there is another secret to the little princess's illness?" Lu Nianjin looked at Xiao Xun and asked in shock.

Xiao Xun pulled the note in her hand, threw it into the incense burner on the table, and muttered for a moment before he spoke, "This matter will be investigated by the palace, and you will treat it as if you did not receive this note!" ”

"I understand," Lu Nianjin nodded, investigating the affairs in the palace, Xiao Xun was indeed better than her.

As for her, what she should care about now is not the truth about the young son's untimely death, but her own life experience.

Holding the envelope in her wide sleeve quietly, she thought about it for a long time, but she still didn't explain it to Xiao Xun.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the National Teacher's Mansion, and then, as if she had just remembered, she looked at him and asked, "By the way, Prince, how are you investigating the assassination of the prince of the Japanese Prince?" ”

Xiao Xun didn't expect her to care about this matter, so she paused for a moment before saying, "It's some bandits from Xishan, they don't know where they got the news, they know that the prince of the Japanese came to the Yun Dynasty this time, and brought the treasure of the town of the Japanese country, the mandarin duck dragon and phoenix, and planned to dedicate it to his father......

"So, those bandits are here for money?"

Xiao Xun nodded and said in a deep voice, "They grabbed the mandarin duck dragon and phoenix hidden in the box, and then retreated...... As for his whereabouts, they are still being traced. ”

"I see." Lu Nianjin nodded lightly.

"Prince, Crown Princess, the National Teacher's Mansion has arrived, it's time to get off!" Laichen reminded outside.

Xiao Xun agreed, took Lu Nianjin's hand and walked out of the car......

After entering the National Teacher's Mansion, when he arrived at the Moon Gate in the front and back yards, Xiao Xun stopped, he raised his hand, gently rubbed Lu Nianjin's heart, and said, "There are still some political affairs to deal with in the study of this palace, so I won't accompany you." ”

"Well," Lu Nianjin nodded, "If the prince has something to do, go and get busy." ”

Xiao Xun lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips again before turning to leave.

Lu Nianjin walked towards Luo Shenyuan absentmindedly......

"Girl, there's a midnight snack in the kitchen, do you want some now?" Ah Yuan had been waiting in the house, and when she saw Lu Nianjin coming in, she immediately stood up and asked while waiting for her master to change clothes with Yun Jiang.

Lu Nianjin had been in the palace for a day, and she was indeed a little hungry now, she looked at Ah Yuan, nodded with a smile, and said, "Pick up the food and get me some!" ”

"Yes, Crown Princess!" Ah Yuan said, and retreated outside.

When she changed her clothes and cleaned her hands, Ah Yuan just brought in the supper, which was a few refreshing cold dishes and a small wonton.

When Lu Nianjin saw the small wontons with fragrant soup, she suddenly remembered that it was the five-color small wontons that Mama Qin often made for her when she was in the Chengguo Mansion.

Thinking of the old things, her face unconsciously had a touch of melancholy.

Ah Yuan saw it in his eyes and tried to ask, "Crown princess, but this little wonton is not to your liking?" ”

"It's not." Lu Nianjin raised her head, shook it gently, and as she spoke, she picked up the spoon and scooped the small wontons in the soup cup and ate them.

The small wonton skin is thin and fragrant, although it is not the same taste as Mama Qin, but it is also first-class delicious, Lu Nianjin quickly finished eating a bowl.

She put down the spoon and was about to tell Ah Yuan to pack up her things, when the nurse Yu Shi carried the child into from the outside and called "Princess".

As soon as Lu Nianjin saw Ji'er, her mood instantly improved, and she didn't have time to think about anything else, she stretched out her hand to Yu Shi with a smile, and Yu Shi understood and handed Ji'er who was blowing bubbles with her eyes open to him.

Here, Luo Shen Yuan, Lu Nianjin was very happy.

On the other side, in the study, Xiao Xun had just picked up the teacup in his hand after reading a newspaper, ready to moisten his mouth, when the door of the study was suddenly pushed open.

He looked up, and in came the minister, with a letter in his hand.

"What is this?" He put down the teacup in his hand, looked at him and asked.

Laichen stepped forward and said, "This is what Wu Jing picked up from inside when he packed up the golden chariot." So saying, he handed the letter over.

There was no signature on the letter, nor did there be any sign, Xiao Xun was not sure whether the letter was dropped by Lu Nianjin or stuffed in by someone from an outsider, yes, he hesitated for a moment, and then opened the letter.

There was only one piece of letter paper in the envelope, and it looked like it was about four or five lines, and the number of words was not much, so he looked at it at a glance.

Then, the whole person froze, and his face was pale.

"Prince......" Laichen looked at his master's appearance, and became nervous, he stared at the back of the letter, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with this letter?" ”

Xiao Xun listened to his question, but did not answer his question, he raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows hard, his face was full of cold embarrassment.

It wasn't until a long time later that he put down his hand, let out a long breath, and then put the letter back in the envelope, handed it to him, and said, "Let Wu Jing put the letter back in its place, and then let people look at it carefully, except for the people of the crown princess, don't let anyone touch this letter." ”

"Also, don't let the people of the crown princess know that the letter was taken out of the carriage."

"Yes, Prince!" Although the minister was suspicious, he still seriously agreed to the master's instructions.

He took the letter, turned and exited the study, and walked briskly to the carriage and horse where the golden chariot was parked.

And just as he rushed to the carriage room and put the envelope back, Lu Nianjin finally found that he had inadvertently lost the letter.

At this time, she was not in the mood to tease Xiao Ji, she waved at the nurse Yu worriedly, Yu understood, and immediately stepped forward and hugged Ji'er.

Lu Nianjin glanced at her again and advised, "I have some other things to do here, you take Ji'er back to sleep first, and when I have time tomorrow, I will bring him over!" ”

"Yes, Crown Princess!" Yu agreed, and retreated outside with the drowsy Ji'er in his arms.

After she left, Lu Nianjin immediately changed her expression, looked at Yun Jiang and said, "Yun Jiang, when I returned home, I lost a very important letter, you immediately follow our way back to Luoshen Garden, look for it all the way, I will take Yun Shu to the carriage room to find it!" ”

Yun Jiang saw that Lu Nianjin's expression was so serious, and hurriedly agreed, "Yes, girl, the slave and maid understand, the slave and maid will go!" With that, she walked out.

Lu Nianjin watched her leave, then looked at Yun Shu and said, "Let's go too!" ”

"Yes, Crown Princess!" Yun Shu agreed, and then the two walked outside.

The three soldiers divided into two roads, Yun Jiang carried the lantern and looked for the letter along the road to the front yard, and Lu Nianjin took Yun Shu to the carriage and horse room in the backyard.

In the carriage and horse room, Wu Jing had already received the orders of the minister, and when he saw Lu Nianjin enter the courtyard of the carriage and horse room, he immediately stepped forward, and said neatly, "Why did the princess come here at this hour?" ”

Lu Nianjin turned his eyes and saw the golden chariot behind him, raised his eyebrows and said, "That's the case, I forgot something in the carriage, and the carriage Steward Wu hasn't cleaned up yet, right?" ”

When Wu Jing heard this, he hurriedly said with a clear conscience, "If you go back to the crown princess, if you go back to the mansion next time, your stomach will be uncomfortable, so I went to Gongfang several times first, and now I haven't had time to pack up the golden chariot." ”

"That's good," Lu Nianjin nodded, she asked Yun Shu to wait in place, and walked towards the golden chariot herself, stepping on the ladder to get into the carriage.

The moment she lifted the curtain, her heart almost jumped to her throat.

Thankfully, the letter was lying on the carpet in the carriage.

Lu Nianjin suppressed the excitement in his heart, picked up the letter on the carpet, put it back in his sleeve, and calmed down for a while before walking out.

Outside, Yun Shu had been standing in place and waiting, and when she saw Lu Nianjin walking down the car ladder, she stepped forward and asked, "Princess, have you found something?" ”

Lu Nianjin looked at her, bowed slightly, "Found it," said her, she took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and threw it towards Wu Jing.

Wu Jing took the jade bracelet in his hand steadily, but he didn't dare to accept it, he looked at Lu Nianjin, and said respectfully, "Back to the princess, the subordinates just did what the subordinates should do, and they didn't dare to ask for a reward!" As soon as the words fell, he withdrew the bracelet towards Yunshu.

Yun Shu didn't accept it, she turned her head to look at Lu Nianjin's face.

Lu Nianjin didn't put a jade bracelet in her eyes, she looked at Wu Jing and said, "What is given to you is yours, take it!" With that, he took Yun Shu and walked towards the outside of the carriage and stable.

Wu Jing watched the crown princess leave, he held the jade bracelet in his hand, as if he was holding a hot yam, and after thinking about it, he still asked someone to send the jade bracelet to the study.

In the study, Xiao Xun watched the familiar mutton fat white jade bracelet being put on the table by the minister, and his brows furrowed suddenly, "Isn't this the bracelet that the palace asked Zhenhua Pavilion to send to Luoshenyuan?" ”

Laichen listened to his master's inquiry, and muttered slightly for a moment before saying, "Back to the prince's words, after the princess took the letter from the carriage stable, she gave this jade bracelet to Wu Jing, Wu Jing didn't dare to accept it, so he sent it over and handed it over to the prince for disposal." ”

Xiao Xun: "......"

Hearing that the minister was going to tell him everything, his face became even worse, and after a long time, he snorted coldly, raised his head, and commanded the minister, "You go out first." ”

"Yes, Prince!" The retainers withdrew.

Xiao Xun wanted to read the newspaper in his hand again, but he couldn't read it, so he simply got up and walked out.

In Luoshen Garden, Lu Nianjin brought the letter back to the bedroom, repelled all the maidservants, and was about to open it to see, when the curtain of the bedroom suddenly shook, bringing out a slight sound.

She subconsciously stuffed the letter under the pillow, turned her head to look at it, and said unhappily, "Didn't you want to step down, you don't have to come in tonight to serve?!" ”

"It's Hongu." Xiao Xun walked in front of her step by step and said condescendingly.

When Lu Nianjin heard Xiao Xun's voice, the whole person was stunned, she looked at him, her expression stiffened for a moment, "Didn't the prince say that there was still business to deal with, why did he come here again?" ”

"Come and see you," Xiao Xun sat down across from her and said, "Today in Qixiang Palace, scared you, right?" ”

"Also, there is no ......" Lu Nianjin said insincerely, the words fell, thought about it, and then made up for the emperor, "My father is also too sad to lose the little princess, so he is a little impulsive." ”

Xiao Xun heard her say this, and sighed softly, "This is the truth?" ”

Lu Nianjin stiffened his head and said, "Is it the truth?" ”

"Then if the palace didn't protect you at that time, and the father really slapped you?" Xiao Xun looked into her eyes, paused for a moment and asked again.

Lu Nianjin thought about it according to the situation at the time, if the emperor's slap really hit her in the face, then she would ......

She will definitely be angry, aggrieved, and resentful!

Just as Xiao Xun said in front of the emperor, she is not a doctor or a doctor in the hospital, and she has no need to be responsible for the life and death of the little princess, not to mention that Concubine Ning betrayed her again...... According to the situation at the time, it was her duty to save the little princess, and it was her duty not to save it.

Because the vitality of the little princess has been hollowed out, there is a possibility of dying at any time.

To put it mildly, she was asking for trouble for herself by saving the little princess, because one day in the future, the little princess would die under her treatment.

From the beginning, it was a thankless errand.

Lu Nianjin's face changed, and Xiao Xun saw it all in his eyes little by little.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, gently covered the back of her hand, held her hand and said, "Jin'er, as long as there is this palace, this palace will never let anyone hurt you, even if that person is the father and the queen mother, no." ”

When Lu Nianjin heard him say this, his heart moved, and he followed closely, but he was overwhelmed with panic and discomfort.

"Why is the prince so angry, of course, it is because the prince likes you, the princess, and he is worried about you......"

Yun Jiang once mentioned her words, and poured into her ears like a cold wind.

Her face changed, desperately trying to withdraw her hand.

But Xiao Xun refused to let go, he saw that her face changed, and thought she was not feeling well, so he held her hand and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your face is so bad, but your body is uncomfortable?" ”

"Nope!" Lu Nianjin shook her head, lowered her head in a hurry, she looked at the slender knuckles that he tightly wrapped around the back of her hand, and said in a dumb voice, "I'm just, it hurts a little to be caught by the prince." ”

When Xiao Xun heard this, he followed her gaze and looked down, only to see that the white and tender little hand he was holding was really red, and it looked a little shocking.

"I'm sorry." He let go of her hand, but he didn't look away, wanting to help her rub it, but Lu Nianjin quickly withdrew his hand when he let go, and said to him, "Prince, it's getting late, I want to sleep first." ”

……

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Xiao Xun looked at her obviously unusual appearance, his face was slightly gloomy, he thought of the letter he saw in the study, he looked at her, and said earnestly, "Jin'er, we are husband and wife, we are the two closest people in the world, if you have anything difficult, you can tell this palace directly, no matter what it is, this palace will not dislike you, as long as you say it, this palace will definitely help you solve it." ”

"No, I don't have anything to worry about!" Lu Nianjin shook his head, his eyes flashing with sincerity.

Xiao Xun looked at it, his heart was full of lingering disappointment, he sighed, and told her again, "After that, if you have anything difficult to do, you must come to this palace." ”

"Well, I know," Lu Nianjin responded, she didn't read the letter, she didn't think about it at all.

After finishing speaking, she stood up again and said to him, "It's really late, I'll send the prince out." ”

"Are you driving the palace away?" Hearing this for the second time, Xiao Xun raised his eyebrows, with a look of displeasure.

Lu Nianjin had no choice but to explain patiently, "Prince, I didn't mean that. ”

"Then what do you mean!" Xiao Xun looked at her and asked, "You are the crown princess of this palace, shouldn't this palace stay in your courtyard?" ”

“…… Prince, so many things have happened in the palace today, I am really tired and have no strength to serve you. After a moment of silence, Lu Nianjin gritted his teeth and said.

"This palace doesn't need you to serve." Xiao Xun made up his mind to stay.

He was afraid that Lu Nianjin would do something stupid after reading the letter.
