Chapter 226: It is impossible to wander alone
The firelight in the distance was a large number of troops brought by Bo Zeyu. After their team leader saw Chen Xingrui, they knelt down one after another, "See the crown princess." β
The weak Chen Xingrui waved his hand weakly, and was in a bad mood, "Come on." β
"Crown Princess Xie." The crowd stood up, their torches flickering.
Xu Shengyu, who was standing behind her, turned pale. With a lot of emotion, it turns out that this is the gap between us. There were things he had never said to anyone, and he had never been honest with himself.
For example, he has no room for other women in his eyes.
"May I ask the crown princess if she has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The chief of the guard stepped forward and asked. After the prince Bo received the news from the flying pigeon, he asked his father-in-law in the palace to order a large number of people to come.
"He's there." Chen Xingrui's green hand pointed.
The head of the guard looked at it and couldn't help but be stunned.
The prince, who is indifferent by nature, is holding a woman, and he is very intimate.
He stood in the distance with a torch and watched.
The prince, who had been with a straight face and no expression, would also show a gentle expression, and the chief of the guard, who was not a little surprised, stood stupidly and forgot to come forward to say goodbye.
"What's wrong with your wrist?" Bo Zeyu looked at her for a long time and finally found a scar on her body, and red blood was oozing from her wrist wrapped in heavy white gauze, and he carefully pulled up Mu Xiaoxiao's white and delicate hand to look at it.
Mu Xiaoxiao let him lead, her big eyes flashed with sporadic grievances, and it was just like a puddle of spring water, enjoying his rare gentleness. The heart is overturned, and I have mixed feelings. "It's been a long time since you've had a good rest." The two of them were close, and Mu Xiaoxiao could see the tiredness in the prince's terrifying eyes, as well as bloodshot eyes.
Wearing a purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair, Qi Mei tied the two dragons to grab the pearl gold wipe forehead, wore a two-color gold butterfly wearing a flower red arrow sleeve, tied with a colorful silk flower knot long spike palace silk, covered with a stone blue flower eight groups of forging row tassel gown, and wore a blue satin foundation small court boots. If you are dressed so formally, you must have come from the palace. Looking at his dusty appearance, he must not have had a good rest.
"I'm fine." He pressed Mu Xiaoxiao's shoulders to see if there were any other scars on her body. Sharp-eyed, he took off the coat covering his body, and saw that her torn and tattered clothes hung down from her waist in a silk shape, and the inner lining was panicked even if it was not damaged. After living for more than ten years, he has always been like water, and he thinks that nothing can make him have too much emotional fluctuations. But the matter has affected Mu Xiaoxiao, and all his reason and principles have collapsed.
After he reminded him, the scene that had just happened appeared in front of him like a slide. The scene of the well-mannered scholar being awakened again like a jackal, a tiger and a leopard pounced on him. Mu Xiaoxiao's body trembled, Bo Zeyu felt her strangeness, and immediately covered the clothes draped over her, embedding her in her arms, her voice like water and song was like a heavenly sound, at least for Mu Xiaoxiao at that time, it was the best medicine, "I am here." β
His powerful speech moved Mu Xiaoxiao to a mess.
"Do you love me?" She likes to ask this when she is extremely lacking in self-confidence.
This time, Bo Zeyu barely had any respite and replied quickly. "Love!" Experience had told him what had happened, and now he couldn't bear not to answer her questions.
The broad palm caressed Mu Xiaoxiao's back, rested his chin on her head, and stood for half an hour, but he didn't feel tired at all. In the face of a hundred questions thrown by civil and military officials, he can always solve them easily. The people in the court said that he would be a qualified king in the future. Bo Zeyu accepted all these compliments.
But his ambitions don't stop there. He wants to be a reliable man.
"No matter when, I can tolerate your one qiΔ." Accommodating a hundred rivers and a broad-minded man. "Sue me, what's going on?" Bo Zeyu told himself that things were not so bad.
Although I knew, I still wanted to hear her say it herself.
Mu Xiaoxiao's big eyes were exposed to the darkness, and there was the same gloom inside.
Although she was sad, there was not a single tear, only hesitation.
To tell the truth, both the eldest brother and the scholar will be implicated, what should she do?
As the eyelids became heavier and heavier, Mu Xiaoxiao's body fluttered, and his consciousness began to dissipate.
She thought it would be better if she passed out like this.
"Xiaoxiao." Fortunately, Bo Zeyu held her body so that she did not fall to the ground. He picked her up and walked out.
Many of the guards standing in front were startled when they saw the prince who was cold and not close to the woman walking with a woman, and they didn't even dare to come out. They all sighed that people can see everything after living for a long time.
"Sister Mu!" Chen Xingrui, who was sitting on the stone, saw Bo Zeyu walking out with the unconscious Mu Xiaoxiao in his arms, and immediately ran to him with concern, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with Sister Mu?" β
Bo Zeyu glanced at her, the corners of his mouth were red and swollen, and when he looked down, there was a faint mark on his neck near his hair. He is an experienced person who naturally knows what that is.
and Chen Xingrui was also disheveled, and Bo Zeyu became more and more curious about what they encountered. "You come with me." His eyes were sharp, Chen Xingrui's heart was numb when he saw it, and he lowered his head and followed.
Bo Zeyu walked a few steps, and swept to an unfamiliar figure in his afterglow, he stopped his steps, his eyes shot at the cold star, and his two curved eyebrows looked at Xu Shengyu who was kneeling on the ground. The voice was cold: "Who are you?" β
The emperor's aura was so overwhelming that Xu Shengyu couldn't even lift his head, and he had met too many people who had hidden their identities recently. The aura and dignity cannot be hidden, just like the man in front of him, he is convinced that he is the real prince.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, I am Xu Shengyu who participated in the Wu Zhuangyuan assessment."
"There are still a few days left before the assessment." Bo Zeyu asked leisurely, which seemed to be inconsequential, but in fact, there were countless undercurrents.
Xu Shengyu tried to guess his thoughts, but in the end it was all in vain. He thinks that he is very accurate in seeing people, for example, he can see at a glance that Chen Xingrui and Mu Xiaoxiao are men and women, and when Chen Xingrui himself didn't realize that she liked Wu Qitao, Xu Shengyu took the first step to see her daughter's thoughts.
However, he had no clue what the prince thought.
"Be bold, answer the prince's words quickly." Seeing that he was slow to speak, the chief guard wore heavy armor and shook the saber at his waist to scare him.
His self-righteous behavior drew a disdainful squint from Bo Zeyu.
Knowing that he had exceeded the rules, he lowered his head and stood back where he was.
Xu Shengyu clenched his fists with both hands, "There are seven days left for the first test." β
"Good!" Bo Zeyu retracted his arms and hugged Mu Xiaoxiao tighter, "Take him away." "The crown prince, who was polite one second, turned him into a prisoner in the next second.
The chief of the guard personally tortured him in order to save face.
"Wait a minute." Chen Xingrui, who had a tough personality, pushed him away, and the chief guard who dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak left again.
"Prince! No! The imperial examination is held once every three years, and if he misses this time, he will have to wait for another three years. Chen Xingrui knelt down to help plead.
"Did I say I wouldn't let him participate in the imperial examination?" Bo Zeyu's cold eyes shot out countless knives.
Chen Xingrui thought about it carefully, as if she hadn't said that. On second thought, it's not right! What should I do if I miss the imperial examination after taking it to the prince's mansion? Her eyes changed, and she looked at him firmly: "In seven days, you will let him go?" She asked, uncertain.
"Yes." Bo Zeyu agreed, "If he cooperates, he can leave tomorrow." As soon as the conversation changed, "If you don't cooperate, you will stay in the prince's mansion for the rest of your life." After speaking, he gave the chief guard a look.
The chief of the guard who got the signal owed Chen Xingrui, "The crown princess is offended." He went straight past her and grabbed Xu Shengyu.
Chen Xingrui stood up with a sad face, her big rectangular eyes looked forward to it, "Brother Xu, I am the one who has caused you." If she hadn't annoyed Sang Lan, their group wouldn't have ended up like this.
Xu Shengyu did not resist, obediently handcuffed the bracelet and anklet, his back was straight, as if in this poplar-like figure, there was a huge tenacious strength. "Don't worry about me, I'm different from you, I won't sacrifice myself for others."
Chen Xingrui's big eyes widened, and she couldn't say a word in surprise. It was so difficult that he had already woken up, and he heard what she was talking to Sister Mu.
His eyes suddenly dimmed, Brother Xu would definitely think that she was a woman with no integrity, she was clearly married to a prince, and she was still thinking about other men.
Xu Shengyu saw her every move in his eyes and immediately interpreted it. The deep voice was like ice that had been silent for a hundred years, chilling and cold, "You don't have to feel embarrassed. We are each other. "He who loves a married woman is not a good kind. Thinking about it this way, they're a good match.
Before being taken away, he left a meaningful smile. Inside is Chen Xingrui's mind that he can't see through even if he wants to break his head.
He followed his back for a few steps and stopped.
What does he mean. Does it mean that she is unbearable, and she is not much better?
How do you think, he seems to be scolding himself.
Chen Xingrui pursed her lips and complained about him, because she pleaded with the prince just now. Patting the dirt on his knees, he shook his body and followed the army.
Ji Pu, who brought the scholar and Sang Lan to a safe place, prepared to leave without stopping.
"What will happen to her?" The scholar who pretended to be asleep all the way finally couldn't bear it anymore and expressed his doubts before he parted.
Ji Pu was a little surprised, he thought he would pretend to be asleep to the end. I didn't think that I still had some conscience, so I said a few more words to him, "You can't escape the punishment, and your life should be saved." According to his understanding of the crown prince, Chen Xingrui must continue to be the crown princess intact, but the taste changed when the words came to his mouth.
He thought that he must have been with Mu Xiaoxiao for a long time and became nosy. In the past few days, he has been hiding in the shadows to protect Mu Xiaoxiao, and he knows the love and hatred between them best.
"Then you take me back. I explained it to the prince personally. The scholar struggled to get up from the ground, fell to the ground because of the lack of blood flow, and frowned and closed his eyes with his head in his hands.
"You really want to help." Ji Pu suddenly wanted to give him a chance. It can be regarded as a test for him and Chen Xingrui.
"What can I do if I have no power to tie the chicken?" Scholar Gu Ying was pitiful, he didn't know how to let Brother Chen be treated like this by He De, no, Miss Chen treated him like this.
"You tie her up." When his thoughts drifted, Ji Pu took out a rope from his waist and threw it to the scholar.
The white-faced scholar was stunned for a moment when he got the rope, and then looked at Sang Lan who was unconscious, and she was picturesque with her eyes closed. "Miss Sanglan." He was still obsessed.
"If you have the confidence to tie her up to the Prince's Mansion, you can solve her urgent needs." ζ΅η said, "A qiΔ is in your thoughts, who do you want to save?" In the face of his pressing steps, the scholar was speechless for a while.
One is affectionate to him, and the other is willing to fall to the ground.
Since ancient times, friendship has been difficult to achieve both.
"Think about it!" Ji Pu saw that the sky was already dark, the stars outside were shining, and the surrounding environment could still be seen clearly.
"Name." The scholar behind him read stupidly, raised his eyes, and the light in his eyes was not lost to the stars in the sky, "What is her real name?" "She has always shown herself in men's clothes, and she has said a surname from beginning to end. Maybe he knew too little about her, or maybe he never had a heart for her. Reading the books of the sages and doing righteous deeds, he felt for the first time that he was a cruel person.
He always said that he liked Sang Lan, but he couldn't do anything. has been asking Miss Chen to find a way for him.
It's really cruel.
"Chen Xingrui." In the end, Ji Pu did not say that Chen Xingrui was the crown princess. Seeing through the vicissitudes of life, only love is difficult to find.
The room was bright.
The scholar sat on the ground and looked at the rope in his hand.
"Chen-Xing-Rui." He read slowly, pausing word by word.
ββIn the future, I promised the prince to travel outside the city with her, and we will not see each other again in the future.
- Aren't you coming back?
- Not coming back.
Looking back, she came to say goodbye today.
- Don't forget jì in the future, I helped Miss Sanglan send you to you.
He saw her last sad expression. Why ignore it!
- Sister Mu, I heard everything you said. When the prince comes, the scholar's life will not be guaranteed. I beg you, take him away! The farther away the better.
He heard everything she said. At that time, the shock was greater than the emotion.
- Send Sang Lan away together. Scholars like her.
Chen Xingrui, what kind of mood are you in to send me away?
You have plunged me into the land of disloyalty, injustice, and I cannot let you leave like this.
He didn't tie up Sang Lan and walked out of the wilderness alone.
He is not nostalgic for Sang Lan, but no matter how good-looking a vicious person is, no matter how talented he is, he is ugly.
All this time, he was deceived by Sang Lan's pitiful appearance.
Some people, they are very strong on the surface, they don't even want to lose half a point in their eyes when they are angry, and when they quarrel, their voices sound from the street to the end of the street. is not gentle and talented, and his speech is not likable. It's just that the appearance is passable. But she is kinder than anyone else, knows what she wants better than anyone else, and she has no hesitation.
Maybe from the beginning, what he liked was not Sang Lan, it was the ideal type in his heart, and Sang Lan happened to meet all the requirements except for birth, he thought it was love, and he was always in love.
Chen Xingrui: He is very different from the other half of his imagination, breaking his original impression of women.
It's not that he doesn't love, it's that he doesn't dare to love.
That night, the stars testified that everyone's mind was clear, and everyone found the way to go
