Watching Luo Cheng leave in the carriage, Xiao Gang and the old Wang Tou of the Heavenly Prison walked towards Zhao Ling together.

Xiao Gang looked at Zhao Ling worriedly and said, "Your Highness, is there a way to save the prince of Chu?" ”

Looking at Xiao Gang, who was very worried about Chu He's safety, Zhao Ling didn't give him a word immediately like before, but stared at him for a long time, and a military general like Xiao Gang couldn't help but feel furious in his heart, and then he heard Zhao Ling's cold voice coming: "This matter is more tricky, you need to take your time." ”

Xiao Gang listened to Zhao Ling's words and couldn't help but let out a long sigh; Yes, isn't this matter very tricky, and it is also thanks to Chu He's special identity, otherwise if such a thing were spread to someone else, I am afraid that person would have been chopped into human meat filling a long time ago.

Seeing the sincere worry on Xiao Gang's face, Zhao Ling's mind moved, he always felt that the idea he had just made was a little too ridiculous; Since he was a child, he has always been suspicious of people, and he is quite tolerant of those who have been following him.

Xiao Gang has been by his side since he established the mansion, acting as his internal response in the palace, and even the plan to uproot the conspiracy after the abolition last time, Xiao Gang also made great efforts; Such a person can be regarded as his right-hand man, and he should not be suspicious of the people he trusts.

However, there are too many doubts in his heart at the moment, and even he himself is beginning to be a little unable to sit still, as if he has lost his backbone through this matter; He persuaded himself, he should have thought about it a lot, and only this persuasion again and again could make his unsettled heart a little calmer.

Zhao Ling called the old king's head and explained seriously: "Cell leader, His Royal Highness will hand over Chu Shizi to you to take care of, if he loses a single hair in the prison, His Royal Highness will not spare you, understand?" ”

The old king knew that this was an uncle the moment Chu Shizi was sent, and he had to be served carefully, and sure enough, his premonition was not wrong at all; After the front foot Chu Shizi was sent in, Lord Xiao, the commander of the back foot Imperial Forest Army, came to visit Chu Shizi, followed by His Royal Highness King Heng, His Royal Highness King Xi, and finally His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came.

This is a big man one by one, he just didn't even dare to dream that he would be able to see him at the same time one day, so when he heard that the prince asked him to take care of Chu Shizi, the old prince naturally responded and never dared to slack off.

He can understand that although this Chu Shizi has caused a big disaster, but with the crown prince above him, he is afraid that he will not stay in this prison for too long; Now that he has been sent in, it is just a formality, and he will be released in two days.

Therefore, in the face of this 'prisoner' with a special status, the old king will definitely not let Chu He suffer.

Zhao Ling could see that the cell head of this heavenly prison was a clever man, so with a little guidance, he knew how to treat Chu He; As long as Chu He didn't suffer in the prison, he would be able to appease Chu Xingyue and not let her worry too much about her brother.

After talking to the cell boss, Zhao Ling turned his head to look at Xiao Gang again, and said, "You are on an errand in the palace, and it will be easier for you to do the affairs in the palace." ”

Xiao Gang immediately clenched his fists and said, "Your Highness, please command." ”

Zhao Ling looked at Xiao Gang with deep eyes, and said: "Now that Zhou Yanran is dead, there should be a mess in the Quewei Palace, and His Royal Highness doesn't want to hear some gossip from the palace that is unfavorable to Chu He and the Jingbei Hou Mansion; You go back and check carefully, there are those people who witnessed Zhou Yanran's death, you gather all of them, beat them alive, and let them know that you must not say what you shouldn't say; By the way, the Imperial Guards should also be reminded not to let them go out and talk nonsense. ”

Xiao Gang knew that the reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did this was to maintain the reputation of the Marquis of Jingbei and the Prince of Chu, or that he was also protecting the crown princess in disguise; Now that he knows his master's intentions, Xiao Gang will naturally try his best to do it.

Seeing that Xiao Gang was ordered to leave, Zhao Ling was ready to go back to the house, after tossing outside for so long, presumably Yue'er was also anxiously waiting for news from him at this time, so he should go back and tell Yue'er first, so that she could rest assured.

At this moment, Yunxiao came on horseback, and after separating from the prince from the palace, Yunxiao went to do an important thing, and now he finally lived up to expectations, and he finished the things that the prince had explained.

Thinking that he had caught the old pious woman in that kind of place, Yunxiao looked down at the upper of his shoes, as if there was something dirty there, which made him very unhappy.

As for Zhao Ling, seeing Yunxiao's eyebrows relaxed, he knew that he had caught someone, but he still asked, "Caught?" ”

Yunxiao replied respectfully: "Finally lived up to His Highness's entrustment, that old pious woman was very cunning, she actually hid in the cowshed, and smeared a layer of yellow, orange and orange cow on her face, pretending to be crazy, if she hadn't shown her feet at the end, I'm afraid even her subordinates would have been deceived by her pretending to be crazy." ”

Looking at Yunxiao's disgusted look, Zhao Ling's tense face was finally a little relaxed, he knew Yunxiao's habits very well, although following him was just to act as a guard, but because he was his cronies, the subordinates and Jingwei of the palace would respectfully call him 'Childe' when they saw him;

At the moment, let him catch the old pious woman in that kind of place, but it made Yunxiao, who loves cleanliness, suffer a lot, so seeing that he lowered his head from time to time and stared at the upper of his shoes, as if he hated to erase all the stains on his shoes, Zhao Ling couldn't help laughing.

But when he thought of the matter, he immediately put away the light smile on his face and continued to ask, "What about people?" Captured back to the palace? ”

"Yes, it has been thrown into the dark room of the palace, and His Highness can ask questions at any time."

Zhao got a satisfactory answer, so he hummed softly, and then got into the carriage of the palace, the wheels rolled, and went back towards the Ling Wangfu.

……

Chu Xingyue was anxiously waiting in the Feiyu Courtyard, and when she heard the rumor that Zhao Ling was back, she was so anxious that she didn't even put on her shoes, so she jumped down from the chaise longue and ran out in a hurry.

Zhao Ling saw his little girl rushing towards him from afar, with obvious anxiety and nervousness on her stunning face, which made Zhao Ling worry and distressed in his heart.

couldn't help but read Zhou Yanran's name again in her heart, and really felt that this woman was born to find disaster for him, otherwise how could she harm Luo Yao first, and now come to block Yue'er; Now that he is finally dead, he has to drag down Shang Chuhe.

Zhao Ling watched Chu Xingyue run out in a hurry, and the steps under her feet involuntarily splendidly faster, and then opened her arms and hugged the little girl who was running towards him like a *, seeing that the shoes on her feet had run away, she couldn't help but cry and laugh at the moment, and couldn't help but read her two sentences: "I know you're in a hurry, but you don't have to be in a hurry, look, one of the shoes has fallen off, don't you know if it's cold?" ”

Hearing Zhao Ling's words, Chu Xingyue looked down at his feet, and sure enough, he saw that he was stepping on the ground with one bare foot, and his white and tender feet were like a piece of fresh tofu, which made people feel greedy just by looking at it.

Chu Xingyue opened her mouth, and just as she was about to say something, she was startled by Zhao Ling's sudden action.

It turned out that this guy actually picked her up in front of many people, and the gesture was to carry her directly back to the room.

Although everyone in the mansion knew that she had a good relationship with Zhao Ling, but with her so affectionately hugged in front of everyone, Chu Xingyue still couldn't help but be a little shy; Stretching out his hand, he gently patted Zhao Ling's shoulder, lowered his voice and urged him, "What are you doing?" Put me down, I can go on my own. ”

Looking at the beautiful woman in her arms, Zhao Ling's depressed mood was also slightly soothed, so the words he said were also with the tenderness between lovers: "Let you run around barefoot like this, I can't do such a ruthless thing, Yue'er, you be well-behaved, and I will tell you about my eldest brother when I return to the room." ”

Hearing Zhao Ling say this, Chu Xingyue can be regarded as a real obedient; didn't struggle and move in his arms, but also cooperated with the slender arm to hook his neck, looking at his handsome eyebrows, the anxiety in his heart also dissipated.

She should believe in him, that what he promised her would be done.

Chun Xing saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought the young lady back, so she took the servants in the courtyard down with a very good eye, leaving the quiet environment to the two masters in the room.

Chu Xingyue was carried back to the room by Zhao Ling and sat on the chaise longue, watching him touch the ground on one knee, gently wiping the soles of his dirty feet with a clean handkerchief, and carefully checking whether she was injured.

After making sure that she was not injured, he sat back beside her, took her into his arms, and couldn't help but say to her: "You can't be so panicked in the future, the people in our yard are diligent and clean, so there will be no sharp stones on the ground to hurt people, but everything should be careful, only if you take care of your body, I can do other things with peace of mind, you know?" ”

Hearing Zhao Ling say this, Chu Xingyue was naturally moved.

But now she knew very well that this was not the time to be moved, thinking of her eldest brother, she hurriedly pushed Zhao Ling's shoulder and asked, "How is my eldest brother?" Is Zhou Yanran really dead? What does Father mean? ”

Hearing her ask three questions at once like pouring beans, Zhao Ling knew that she was in a hurry, and she didn't delay to hide it, and told her directly: "Big brother, he is very good, but murdering the concubine is a big crime, in order to give everyone an explanation, my father temporarily imprisoned him in the prison." ”
