If she didn't come by herself, he was about to suspect that this was a dummy, Zhong Jingsong frowned and wanted to step forward, when he heard the sound of a carriage behind him.

Looking back, the figures of the emperor and the Protector Mansion came out of the carriage one after another.

When the Protector saw her, his face was full of excitement, and he raised his legs to get closer, but when he saw Lu Yuanbai, his expression was condensed again: "This ......"

The emperor's eyes also flashed a little unexpectedly, but he hid it very well, and pointed his finger at Lu Yuanbai: "Tell me, why is Miss Chu San here with you?"

Lu Yuanbai responded calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, if she was not the person concerned, I am afraid that she would be deceived by his innocent look.

"Your Majesty, the acquaintance between the courtier and Miss Chu San is just accidental, it's only in the last few days, and the second lady also knows about it. A smile suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he asked Chi Yingchu, "Miss Chu San, are you right?"

Her fingers trembled unconsciously, seeing the threat in his eyes, and it happened that the second lady was mentioned at this time, which was clearly a warning in disguise.

She glanced over the face of the Protector, and then nodded: "What the prince said is right. ”

"Then what's the matter with saying you're dead?" the emperor asked sharply, raising his hand to Zhong Jingsong and the human skin in his hand.

Lu Yuanbai seemed to be smiling, and his thin lips curled into a shallow arc: "Brother Chen just gave Master Zhong a human skin mask, but he didn't want him to make such a fuss." ”

"It seems that this mask works well, the younger brother is just joking with him, I didn't expect Lord Zhong to commit the crime of bullying the king in front of the imperial brother. ”

He will shirk what he said, it was just a joke when it fell on his head, and when he pushed it to Zhong Jingsong, it became a crime of bullying the king, who can compare to him in terms of insidiousness and shamelessness?

Zhong Jingsong pursed his lips and was silent, the emperor's face was not good-looking, and he couldn't help but scold: "You are becoming more and more unruly, you dare to make any jokes, I must punish you today." ”

"The subordinate brother is willing to accept the punishment. ”

"Then you will be punished for thirty years, grounded for a month, and you must personally go to the Protector's Mansion to apologize. "After the emperor finished explaining, he got into the carriage and left.

The Lord Protector knelt down at this time and begged urgently: "Your Majesty, there is no need to apologize, the minister only hopes to take the little girl away." ”

The emperor glanced at Chi Yingchu and nodded in agreement: "Well, it's your daughter, so naturally I want you to take it back." ”

Lu Yuanbai didn't directly refuse, but said: "The younger brother is willing to return the person, but she still has some things in the younger brother's mansion, and she has to clean up before leaving." ”

"Tomorrow, the king will let you take her away. ”

The Lord Protector hesitated, but finally agreed: "The minister is willing to wait until tomorrow." ”

"In that case, leave the matter to your own deliberations. The emperor set off to return to the palace, and then Zhong Jingsong also left with people.

The eldest lady learned the news before the Duke of Protector went back, and the teacup in her hand was almost unstable, and her tone was gloomy: "Are you serious?"

The servant listened to it very well, and deliberately rushed back in advance to tell Madame. The subordinate nodded solemnly.

There was a crack in the eldest lady's delicate makeup, and the person who had been driven out with great difficulty at the beginning could not let her come back so easily now.

You have to find a suitable way to stop it.

The eldest lady used a force on her hand, accidentally broke her fingernails, and then asked, "How is the eldest lady's leg injury?"

"It's almost good, I can't see anything unusual when I walk, and the eldest lady is no longer as reluctant to see people as she was before. ”

As soon as the Duke of Protector came back, he immediately wanted to tell the second lady about it, but when he looked up, he saw the eldest lady coming: "Grandpa Guo, I heard that Miaomiao has been found?"

"yes. The Protector spoke briskly, faintly revealing some joy, and did not fully think much about her words.

The eldest lady smiled lightly, as if she mentioned it inadvertently: "Miaomiao can get along with the fourth prince for a while, and it is also her ability to survive, but it is just ......"

The eldest lady couldn't help but sigh halfway through her words, as if she had a headache, and she saw that the heart of the protector was tight.

"Just what? ”

"Miaomiao lives in the Four Princes' Mansion without a name, and if she suddenly comes back, she will not be discussed, and Jingshu is almost at the age of discussing relatives, I am afraid that she will bring shame on the Protector's Mansion. ”

When the Protector saw Chu Yimiao at that time, he wanted to reconcile with the second lady, but when she mentioned it, he suddenly wavered in his intention to take people back.

"Then what should I do, don't you want her?"

"You might as well hold off for a while, and when the limelight is less in the future, then quietly pick her up, and say to the outside world that she secretly ran to her distant cousin, and then made a joke. ”

"You're right, but you have to hide it from her. ”

She didn't need to say it explicitly, the eldest lady knew who it was, and she agreed quickly on the surface: "Yes." ”

As soon as the protector left, she directly asked people to pass the matter to the second lady, and the second lady didn't have the strength to make trouble, thinking about how to make her daughter leave safe and sound.

For Chi Yingchu's side, it is the same whether he returns to the Protector's Mansion or not, Lu Yuanbai did not suffer from the cane, but he couldn't get out of the palace.

"Isn't it disappointing that the Lord Protector didn't come to pick you up?"

Chi Yingchu glanced at him, with a hypocritical smile on his face, and snorted softly: "How come, I wish I could accompany the prince for a while longer." ”

"Flim Flam. Lu Yuanbai dropped a few words, she thought he was leaving, and pointed in the direction of the door, "If you go, don't send it." ”

He glanced at her with a strange expression, "This king is going to send the Liu family away after a while." ”

Chi Yingchu interrupted him unceremoniously: "Don't, you don't have to tell me, and I don't want to know, lest I be regarded as the one who betrayed you again." ”

"Aren't you curious about Liu's identity?"

Her head is pointed, of course, curiosity, but she knows a truth, curiosity kills cats, and it can also kill herself.

"I'm curious, but the prince shouldn't let me know. ”

Lu Yuanbai laughed out loud, hooked her chin with one hand, and approached Jun's face: "This king is not telling you, is he talking to the air?"

“......”

Chi Yingchu didn't expect that the Liu family would be the emperor's person at first, so if he found her, would he be able to learn more about Lu Yuanbai and the emperor?

She tried to go out several times, and every time she walked out of the yard, Lu Yuanbai came over and asked her if she wanted to go out, didn't she think this was asking knowingly?

Then one day, she dared to ask him, "What is the identity of that old man you went to great lengths to bring back?"

She met his sinister gaze, shrunk her head, and muttered, "It's better that I didn't ask." ”

Lu Yuanbai didn't tell her, and then on the day he sent Liu away, he took her with him for the first time.

Liu looked at her, and then saluted Lu Yuanbai: "You can't serve by the prince's side in the future, the prince has to take care of himself." ”

Liu got into the carriage, in fact, Chi Yingchu could also see that she didn't want to leave in her heart, and wanted to wait for Lu Yuanbai to say a word to stay, but he was silent.

The carriage gradually moved away, and all the potential killers on the side of the road came out, Lu Yuanbai took the guards to save people, the killers attacked from behind, and Liu used his body to block the sword for him.

"Lord ......"
