Song Qi suddenly raised his head from his contemplation, looked at the raised eyebrows and asked, "Qiao Mei, are you familiar with the fourteenth prince?" ”

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked in surprise, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"Now that Mingyu is trapped in the hands of Ximen Yun, we have no choice but to ask for help from others, I want to try to ask the fourteenth prince!" Song Qi scratched his head and said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"That's right! Didn't the fourteenth prince like Sister Mingyu? Ling Xue clapped her hands in agreement, "Ask him for the right thing!" ”

"Speaking of this fourteenth prince, he is really one of our young lady's suitors." He raised his eyebrows and swept his sideburns, and the corners of his mouth raised, "But I know him, and he probably doesn't know me either." He didn't speak to me when he came to Yumeshima for his birthday last year. ”

"Just get to know!" Song Qi smiled and said, "Let's go to the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion!" ”

The three of them tidied up their clothes a little, Song Qi was dressed as a rich son, and Ling Xue was dressed as a wealthy daughter, and her eyebrows were still dressed as a maid. Ling Xue and Qiao Mei shared a hired carriage, while Song Qi rode a light gray horse, and the group hurried towards the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion.

At this time, the fourteenth prince had been crowned King Liwei. The Liwei Mansion is located on the main street in the northwest corner of Duo'an Mansion, about three miles away from the inn where they are staying.

In front of the palace without exception, there were two stone lions, and on the steps stood two soldiers, one with a gun and the other with a halberd.

The sedan chair stopped steadily beside the shadow wall at the entrance of the palace, Song Qi got off the horse, came to the soldier on the right, bowed his hand, and said, "Master Jun, Fan, please say to His Royal Highness, there is an old man Mingyu asking to see." ”

"What Mingyu, I haven't heard of it!" The soldier raised his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth, and reprimanded: "Is the prince also easy to see anyone?" ”

"Mingyu... Sounds familiar. The soldier on the left frowned, turned his head to the soldier on the right, and whispered, "I remember!" Isn't the robbery incident that has been making a lot of noise these days was stirred up by Mingyu, the daughter of Ming Zhugong? ”

"That's worth it!" The soldier on the right raised his gun in his hand and shouted, "You are now a criminal in the imperial court, and the whole city is wanted, and you dare to come to our palace, don't you want to implicate our prince!" Come on! ”

"Master Jun!" Song Qi forced a smile on his face, "We really have an urgent matter to see the prince!" ”

"Let's go!" The soldier on the left also went down two steps to help drive Song Qi away, "If you don't leave, we'll shout in the street, 'The prisoner is here'!" ”

When Song Qi heard them say this, he knew that he could not enter the palace, so he had to retreat and lead his horse back. The carriage followed.

Song Qi led the horse forward slowly, and sighed while looking up to the sky: "It seems that it is really the palace that goes deep into the sea!" Looks like the road is blocked again! ”

"Brother Song, don't be discouraged!" Ling Xue comforted Song Qi through the sedan curtain, "It's just that those soldiers guarding the door have a bad attitude." As long as you see the fourteenth prince, there is still hope! ”

Song Qi nodded silently, hung his head silently, and led the horse forward aimlessly.

He leaned back on the sedan chair, sighed, and said with a gloomy expression: "I can't enter the palace, where can I see the fourteenth prince?" ”

"Let's just walk around the gate of the palace, the fourteenth prince must come out!" Ling Xue lifted a corner of the curtain and casually scanned the street scene and pedestrians outside.

Hearing this, he immediately leaned forward, lifted the corner of the curtain, and looked out of the window, paying special attention to the gorgeous carriage.

At this time, on the street, people are like flowing water, cars are like dragons, and the market is bustling. The big shops and stalls along the street are busy with business, and the streets are full of people, and the sound of buying and selling is endless, and it seems that this place has not been affected by the fire in Doan Province a few days ago.

From time to time, there are chariots and horses passing by, and there is no shortage of gorgeous cars and horses, and arrogant slaves. Whenever the gorgeous carriage approached, Ling Xue had to raise her eyebrows and watch, but in the end she was disappointed. Several times he tentatively shouted "Willy" to the luxurious carriage opposite, and the other party lifted the curtain and saw that it was shouting indiscriminately, so he couldn't help but poke his head out and scold a few words loudly.

Song Qi saw that there was no way out, so she shouted nonsense, and he was just responsible for the aftermath and apologized.

Walking out of the road for more than half a mile, it has been to the end of the street, and there is a T-junction in front. Song Qi stood at the T-shaped street entrance in a daze, dazed, not knowing whether to go left or right.

"Turn around." Ling Xue lifted the corner of the curtain and said to Song Qi through the car window.

Song Qi nodded, silently turned the horse's head and went back the way it came.

When he passed by the gate of the palace of the king of Liwei, he saw the two soldiers standing there from a distance, more vigorous and arrogant than the two squatting lions. They did not dare to stay long, so they continued to walk forward without stopping the door. He went on half a mile and came back.

If the streets were crowded with people at this time, people would notice the unusual behavior of the horses and carts, and wonder what these ghostly people were trying to do, and whether there were any bad intentions. Otherwise, why did they hit the gate of the palace in such a short period of time and floated by as many as four or five times?

However, after all, this is hypothetical. At this time, the streets are bustling with people, who will notice their anomalies. Even the two soldiers standing guard at the gate of the palace did not notice their presence.

They wandered like ghosts within a mile to the left and right of the palace, and the sundial unconsciously moved from the hour to the noon.

"Could it be that the fourteenth prince is hiding in the palace and not coming out?" He frowned and looked out the window.

"It's hard to say!" Ling Xue sighed and said, "In the past, we lived in Longwei Mountain and couldn't go out for a few months. What's more, the palace is so big, it is conceivable that there is everything in it, and it is possible not to come out for a few days. ”

"What then?" The eyebrows couldn't help but lower the curtains, bowed their heads gloomily, and frowned.

"But that prince is different from us civilians, he needs to enter the palace from time to time to greet the emperor and queen. In this way, he can't shrink into the house even if he wants to. Ling Xue reached out and patted the back of her eyebrow's hand and comforted.

Hearing this, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes, and he lifted the curtains again and looked up to search the street.

At this time, I saw a group of men and horses coming from a distance, and the two pairs of soldiers in front of them were holding guns and halberds, shouting loudly to "dodge" and "avoid" to open the way in front.

The pedestrians on the street did not know who was coming, but looking at the majesty of the carriage and horses, the many followers, and the momentum was so vigorous, that they knew that there would be extraordinary people in the carriage, and they all avoided the roadside from afar, and led their necks to watch.

Song Qi and the others also dodged to the side of the road and watched the oncoming cars.

I saw a pair of soldiers walking proudly with their heads up, and there were still many royal soldiers behind them surrounded by a carriage with a Zhu Lunhua hub.

At the moment when the carriage staggered by, his eyebrows and eyes lit up, and he suddenly lost his voice and shouted, "Weili! ”

"Are you sure it's the Fourteenth Prince in that car? Don't get scolded again. At this time, Ling Xue had already moved to the window on the side of Qiao Mei to look outside, and reminded Qiao Mei softly.

"I can't see the people in the car. But the fat guard behind the carriage looked familiar. He pointed to a guard on horseback behind the carriage.

Ling Xue turned her head to look in the direction she was pointing, only to see two horses closely following behind the carriage, and immediately sat two guards in soft armor, one fat and one thin.

At this time, I only heard the eyebrows and shouted loudly to the other side: "Weili! ”

The two guards turned their gaze to this side almost simultaneously. Immediately, several soldiers of the palace turned around and walked towards this side with their guns in hand, while shouting loudly: "Dare to disobey the people! Dare to call the name of the prince! What a crime! (To be continued.) )
