Looking at King Heng, who put down his arrogant words and left, Yunxiao blinked calmly, and then walked up to the city tower like no one else and came to Zhao Ling's side.

The corners of Zhao Ling's mouth were still hooked with a faint smile, he glanced at Yunxiao, and said, "Lao Jiu embarrassed you just now?" ”

Yunxiao said truthfully: "Your subordinates are your people, even if His Royal Highness King Heng usually messes around, but for the sake of Your Highness's face, you will not embarrass your subordinates casually." ”

"It's really getting better and better at talking, Yunxiao, after so many things, His Highness has finally figured out something that he has never figured out, do you want to hear it?"

Yunxiao lowered his eyes and replied, "My subordinates are listening. ”

Zhao Ling looked at the imperial guard of honor who was getting farther and farther away, and said: "His Royal Highness has always thought that as long as his original intention does not change, he will never change, and the people around him will not change; However, it was not until today, watching his father's honor guard go farther and farther, that His Royal Highness suddenly understood that in fact, there are many things that have changed too much in silence, but in the past, His Royal Highness was unwilling to admit it, unwilling to look directly, so he has been deceiving himself, and in the end, he deceived himself and the people around him. ”

Yunxiao didn't know why the crown prince suddenly let out such a sigh, but he knew that since he experienced the affairs of Emperor Showa, especially after the crown princess left, His Royal Highness the crown prince seemed to be very affected, and in just a few days, he had clearly noticed the changes in His Royal Highness.

This kind of change made him uneasy and a little at a loss; I am afraid that if I don't take care of myself, His Highness will have an accident in front of my eyes.

After Zhao Ling finished speaking, he looked back at the clouds, and saw that his eyebrows and eyes were full of thoughts, and he didn't poke him, and continued: "Over the years, His Royal Highness has been following what he lost, because he lost his father's love when he was young, so he has always felt that the heavy and happy father's love is what he wants the most, but after His Highness gets it, he finds that what he imagines is the most beautiful, once he really touches it, he will find that some things have already been unrecognizable; But I didn't want to admit it before, so I kept disguising myself, and forced the people around me to disguise with His Royal Highness. My father must have seen me, so he tried his best to play the role of a father. But the funny thing is that what is disguised is disguised, and it can never become real; Therefore, when the false thing is faced with a test, it will be vulnerable and shattered at the first blow. ”

"Your Royal Highness......" Yunxiao didn't know how to comfort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, because he knew very well how much the Crown Prince respected his father, but Emperor Showa was far more complicated than they imagined; When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince realizes that his father is not as generous as he imagined, how serious the gap and disappointment in his heart should be.

Zhao Ling laughed lightly a few times and said to Yunxiao: "You don't have to worry about me, how old is this highness, and the ability to withstand this blow is still there." And fortunately, after this blow, His Highness finally understands what he really wants and what he should do?! ”

"The father said that those who are emperors and monarchs should break off their love and love, so that they can make themselves invincible; His Royal Highness has never wanted to make himself invincible, I want to live like a person, so I am willing to let myself have a vulnerable time, and I am also willing to let myself have a handle that others can handle; Because His Highness has discovered that it is precisely because of this weakness that I can truly feel the joy and happiness of existence. ”

Hearing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say this, although Yunxiao was a little confused, he was greatly relieved in his heart; Because he felt that he had heard it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was telling him that he would not embark on a lonely road to the king, and that His Highness who had accompanied the Crown Princess in the Flying Feather Courtyard and hoped that the cherry tree would soon blossom and bear fruit would come back soon.

"My subordinates are convinced that His Highness will get everything he wants, and I also believe that such a Highness will be even better than the emperor expects."

Listening to Yunxiao's words, the smile on the corner of Zhao Ling's mouth turned up again, a few days have passed, and he can finally smile with peace of mind today, no longer full of resentment, no longer full of gloom, but can look ahead generously and look at the road he should take.

Zhao Ling said: "How is it?" Still no news? ”

Zhao Ling had already given up looking in the capital in his heart, he believed in the ability of Jinggi Wei, and also believed in the methods of the palace Jingwei, since they were about to turn the capital to ruin and couldn't find her, then she must have left the capital; Now, the reason why he still sent people to search in the capital was just because of that undead thought in his heart.

He comforted himself and told himself that Yue'er had always been naughty and clever, maybe she would do the opposite, thinking that the more dangerous the place, the safer, so he found a very hidden place to hide, in order to wait for the wind in the capital to no longer be so tight, and then quietly sneak out of the capital, after all, she still has Xiao Ruiyuan and Chun Xing by her side, these three people are women and children, and if they are no longer completely safe, Yue'er's character will definitely not act rashly.

It's just that these comforting words can only comfort him for a while, and when he waits patiently and gets one disappointment after another, his heart is already exhausted; If it weren't for the last bit of thought to support him, and the responsibility on his body to stop him, I'm afraid he would have personally led someone to find Yue'er's whereabouts.

Looking at the obvious look of loss on the prince's face, Yunxiao brought him an unexpected answer.

"Your Highness, it is true that we have not found any trace of the crown princess, but the brother who sent out found a suspicious place, and after the report came up, his subordinates thought that they should discuss it with you, so they came to report."

Zhao Ling immediately raised his sunken eyebrows, and turned his head to look at Yunxiao with an expression of joy that could not be concealed: "Suspicious? What's suspicious? ”

Looking at His Royal Highness the Prince, who was obviously a little excited, Yunxiao reported truthfully: "My subordinates remember that when His Royal Highness told us to find the whereabouts of the crown princess, he once said to us, that is, even if we can't find anyone, we can't let go of any suspicious and strange clues, and it is precisely because of this sentence that the brothers under him have a few more eyes." ”

Yunxiao stepped forward and stood beside Zhao Ling, pointed in the direction of the south of the city, and said: "In the south of the capital, there are a large number of merchants' homes, and ordinary people also like to settle their homes there, because the security in the south of the city is safer and quieter than in the north of the city, and it is very suitable for the people who keep to themselves." It was when they were searching the south of the city that the Jingwei found a little clue. ”

"A family surnamed Yang in Luliu Lane in the south of the city is an honest man in the grain business, I heard that this person came to the capital more than 20 years ago to take root and live, and has been keeping to himself for more than 20 years, and has always been alone; There was once a matchmaker who came to the door to say that he wanted to protect the matchmaker for him, but he also politely refused, so in private, some people loved to chew the root of his tongue, saying that he was either a lone star and should be alone in this life, or he couldn't be a man, so he didn't marry a wife or have children for the rest of his life; But it is such a family, and the yard seems to be a little more lively during this time. Listening to his neighbors, there are occasional women's laughter in the backyard of the Yang family recently, and the man surnamed Yang, obviously not sick, but more than once ran the prescription to grab the medicine, and the medicine he caught was also messy, and he couldn't see what disease he was curing; I also heard that this person quietly asked a familiar merchant to buy high-quality blood bird's nest, saying that he wanted to replenish his body. This is this bird's nest has always been taken by women, he is a big man, and he is not a young man What does he do eating bird's nest?! ”

Zhao Ling also heard the strangeness of Yunxiao's words, and said, "You mean, there is a woman hiding in his backyard, this woman is very special to him, can let him find a precious thing like bird's nest to make up for his body?!" ”

Yunxiao nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness." Your Highness, please think about it carefully, if this man surnamed Yang has a good relationship early in the morning, then there is no reason why he was only discovered by his neighbors recently, which means that the woman who lives in his backyard is likely to have come to the courtyard to live temporarily in the courtyard recently. Isn't it strange that a man who has been a bachelor for half his life suddenly has a woman, and this woman is still hiding in the backyard and refusing to see anyone? And what makes his subordinates even more strange is that when the Jingwei heard the news and went to investigate, Your Highness, guess what? ”

"Didn't you see anyone?"

Yunxiao smiled mysteriously and said: "Your Highness is really smart, the Jingwei really didn't find anyone, and the explanation given by the man surnamed Yang is that the neighbors may have heard it and heard the cry of the wild cat as a woman's laughter." ”

Zhao Ling locked his eyebrows, and he didn't think that this explanation could be justified.

"What's next? But you still continue to send people to keep an eye on it? Or is it to discover strange weirdness? ”

Yunxiao shook his head in frustration and replied: "The Jingwei did not completely believe the man's reply, and quietly hid around and stared at the man for a few days, I don't know if the man noticed something or was really innocent, there was really no other abnormality in the man surnamed Yang and his yard in those days; Therefore, the brothers under his hands withdrew as soon as they discussed, and the subordinates also felt that this man surnamed Yang was quite strange when they listened to their reports and discussions, and after thinking for a while, they told the news to Your Highness. ”

Zhao Ling put his hands behind his back, carefully thinking about the situation reported by Yunxiao; The flames in my heart seemed to be gently blown by the wind, and gradually began to burn more and more.

Although he didn't dare to be completely sure, he didn't have any other news about Chu Xingyue at all, and at the moment, as long as he found a little clue, he couldn't let it go.

Zhao Ling immediately turned around and walked towards the city tower, Yunxiao quickly followed, and asked, "Your Highness, where are you going?" ”

Zhao Ling said with a serious expression: "His Royal Highness wants to go and see that courtyard in person, Yue'er is too smart, in front of her, we must not be negligent." ”
