Xianglian's words made Zhu Youci bow his head and remain silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xianglian continued her efforts, gently stroked the heads of the three little birds and said, "However, county lord, you don't have to worry. If you really want to keep them, you might as well give them to a slave. The slave must do his best to raise them, and when the county lord wants to see these three little ones, he can go to the slave and maid."

Xianglian pressed step by step, letting Zhu Youci accept her suggestion.

If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely not accept such a statement full of errors and omissions. Zhu Youci should understand that if she is sober, she should understand that she is just three young birds, even if the palace does not welcome her to stay, as long as she speaks, the real princess will definitely agree.

However, Zhu Youci, who was born without roots, didn't think about it so much at all. In addition, in the past, she was inseparable from Zhu Youde and Liu Wang, and she didn't need to make up her mind about anything. Now, she is the only one left to face Xianglian, and because she loves the house and Wu, she trusts Xianglian, which leads her to really think that Xianglian's suggestion is thinking about her.

So, Zhu Youci hurriedly agreed, handed over the three young birds to Xianglian, and agreed to go to Xianglian to visit the three young birds the day after tomorrow.

Xianglian didn't think of an excuse she found casually, and she successfully deceived Zhu Youci without any questioning. Of course, she didn't want anyone to know about this matter, so she coaxed and deceived Zhu Youci not to tell others about this matter, and treat it as a little secret between the two of them.

Zhu Youci was a little puzzled: "Can't they even talk about their younger brother?" ”

Xianglian nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes." You can't tell anyone about it. If anyone knows about it, they will definitely tell the princess. Then these three little birds will definitely be thrown away. Winter is coming soon, and they will be frozen to death. ”

When Zhu Youci heard this, he didn't dare to insist anymore, only nodded in agreement and didn't tell anyone.

"Sister Xianglian?" A familiar voice came from behind Xianglian.

Xianglian panicked for a moment, and hurriedly asked Zhu Youci to give her all the bird nests, Xianglian pretended to be fine, covered it with a cloth, and put it at her side.

"It's really Sister Xianglian. Aren't you gone? "It's not someone else who comes, it's Haruka. She had just entered the garden and saw Xianglian talking to people from a distance.

But after Xianglian gave the princess clothes just now, she said that she was leaving. How can you stay in the garden? Chunxiang, who is now very concerned about Xianglian's whereabouts, naturally wants to find out.

When I took a closer look, I found that I was not mistaken. Xianglian did not leave the palace, but the person who spoke to Xianglian surprised Chunxiang very much.

"The county lord? Why are you here? Chunxiang looked at Xianglian and Zhu Youci back and forth, and couldn't figure out when the two had crossed paths. And, why, is it that the county lord is here alone, but there is no one around to serve him?

Zhu Youci didn't know how to explain, Xianglian didn't expect Chunxiang to appear, but she didn't panic, looked at Chunxiang, and said with a smile, "It's nothing." I just saw the county lord alone in the garden. I was so rude when I thought about it last time. So, I came to apologize to the county lord. ”

"County Lord, huh?" Chunxiang is now very distrustful of Xianglian's words, so she asks Zhu Youci for confirmation.

Zhu Youci saw Xianglian's eyes and thought of what he had agreed on just now, so he only nodded and did not deny it.

Chunxiang saw that Zhu Youci was weird, but she couldn't tell what was weird, so she didn't pursue it for the time being.

"Chunxiang, at this time, you are not waiting by the princess's side, what are you running out for? Does the princess have something to arrange? If I can help, sisters, you just ask" Xianglian casually found a topic, diverting Haruka's attention.

"Oh, nothing. The princess is going to go out, and let me arrange the carriage and horses. Haruka said.

"It's just a matter of arranging for someone else to go for something like that. Why do you want to run it yourself? Xianglian's tone of voice revealed disdain. As if to say, Chunxiang has to arrange this little thing in person, it's too childish.

Chunxiang pretended not to hear the disdain in Xianglian's tone, and said with a smile, "I stayed in the house all day, and I was idle anyway, so I didn't let anyone else go, and I ran by myself." No, I happened to meet Sister Xianglian again. Can we talk a little more? ”

"I'm afraid it's not going to work. It's been a long time since I've been out. I'm going back too. Isn't it just that you're going to arrange things? I think it's better to have time next time, let's find another opportunity to have a good chat" Xianglian saw that her purpose of coming to the True King's Mansion had been achieved, so she didn't want to stay longer.

It's just that before leaving, he said to Zhu Youci, "County Lord, then I'll go first." If you have time, you can also go to Mengdiezhuang, where the slaves and maids work."

After Xianglian finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the palace.

Chunxiang always felt that Xianglian and Zhu Youci were both very strange, so after Xianglian left, Chunxiang asked, "County Lord." Why are you here alone? What did Xianglian say to you just now? ”

"It's nothing" Zhu Youci does not lie and deceive people. But she was afraid that the more she said, the more wrong she became, the more she turned and ran away.

Chunxiang looked at Zhu Youci who ran away, and was worried in her heart, always feeling that things were not ordinary.

So, on the way, he found a random servant to send a message to the stable, asking them to prepare the carriage for the princess to go out. And Chunxiang turned around and returned to Wentao Garden.

Chunxiang went and returned, and told the princess about the strangeness of the county lord and Xianglian.

Song Yi heard that Xianglian had been in contact with Zhu Youci. Very nervous, "At this time, shouldn't the county lord be in the academy?" How will it come back? Why didn't they join her? ”

"The slave maid has already asked. My husband was unwell and went back on leave. So they gave the county lord half a day off. When they returned, for unknown reasons, they separated, leaving the county lord alone in the garden. The slave maid just asked the county lord what she said to Xianglian. But the county lord didn't tell the slave, but turned around and ran away."

"Before the slave saw Xianglian leave just now, she was carrying a package with her, which seemed to have something in it. The slave and maid were afraid that something would be wrong, so they hurried to tell the princess about it."

"Haruka, you're doing the right thing. There's one thing, I should have told you a long time ago" Song Yi thought, in the current situation, Chunxiang can no longer be hidden. So, Song Yi told Chunxiang all the things investigated by the real king.

"It's just that I don't know who is so interested in the life of the county lord. Also, Xianglian, do you already know the life experience of the county lord? Song Yi raised his own questions.

Chunxiang heard the princess say this, her face turned pale, and she thought that she had said something about the county lord in front of Xianglian, so she didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said, "Princess, it's a slave who deserves death."
