In the east of the capital, Ping'an Lane where dignitaries gather.

In a large mansion with a garden, Su Muling sat in a wheelchair and was pushed by a little girl to enjoy the flowers in the huge garden.

Last night, Su Muling was kidnapped by Xiao Wenxuan and did not enter the palace, but hid here.

This mansion is an old mansion of a foreign official, and the family property was confiscated because the foreign official was greedy for ink, and this old mansion was also seized by the imperial court.

Later, it was auctioned off to an unknown merchant, but no one has been occupied. What outsiders don't know is that the master behind this businessman is the current prince Xiao Wenxuan.

Nearly ten days have passed since Su Muling's injury, and the wound on his face has healed, leaving only a mottled scar.

"Miss, look how well this begonia blooms. I'll have some picked up and sent to the girl's house later...... Girl, you see, these gorse flowers didn't bloom yesterday, but they all bloomed when I saw the young lady today. Looks like this flower likes Miss too......"

This sweet-mouthed, handsome-looking little girl is called Ruixiang, who was specially sent to serve Su Muling.

The weather was getting hotter, and in order to hide her scars, Su Muling brought a veil and sat in a wheelchair, her eyes full of blooming flowers. But her mood was down, and it was not a joy to be imprisoned.

Although this house is not small, there are not many people. Two girls, two grandmothers who do rough work, a cook with good cooking skills, and a few nursing homes.

Su Muling's waist injury has not healed yet, and he can't walk. So although there are few people in this house, it is enough to ensure Su Muling's comfortable life without fear of her escaping.

Ruixiang pushed Su Muling to walk around the garden, and when she saw that the sun was starting to get hot, she was afraid that Su Muling would be basking in the sun, so she pushed her back.

"Why don't you go shopping? What kind of flowers does Ling'er like, ask the girl to pick them back for you. ”

Before he left the garden, he met Xiao Wenxuan. Xiao Wenxuan replaced Ruixiang and pushed Su Muling.

Su Muling didn't make a sound, lowered his head, and looked at the open space under his feet.

She hadn't said a word since she had been brought here, and people wondered if the young lady wouldn't have said it at all. Seeing that Su Muling ignored him, Xiao Wenxuan ordered Ruixiang with some embarrassment.

"Miss Su likes roses, you go pick some and put them in Miss's house."

"Yes."

Ruixiang gave Xiao Wenxuan a salute and left first. Xiao Wenxuan pushed Su Muling to walk slowly in the courtyard.

"Ling'er, I brought a lot of supplements from the palace, and asked the girl to make some supplements for you every day. I also brought with me a few sets of clothes, all of which were made overnight in the palace according to your measurements. The fabrics are the best southern brocade tributed by the southern country, and the colors are all picked to your liking on weekdays. ”

"The weather is hot, so I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make dozens of more sets of summer clothes, which will be delivered in a few days. By the way, I asked Julongzhai to make flying dragon soup and crystal meat for lunch today, which are all weekdays/you love to eat. I also asked people to call for all kinds of dim sum from Yufangzhai. I can't stay here with you all the time......"

Xiao Wenxuan chattered in Su Muling's ear, but Su Muling's face was cold, his eyes were dull, and his heart had long since disappeared......

Xiao Wenxuan treats Su Muling well, she is not unmoved, she can wander the world with him who knows nothing, and sleep on the streets. But if she is imprisoned in the palace to be a virtuous lady and a good wife and mother who sends a concubine to her husband's bed, she can't do it. What's more, that concubine is a scheming woman like Qian Wenting.

Now her physical condition does not allow her to think about anything else, and she is at peace when she comes. Su Muling couldn't run anymore, so she had to recuperate from her injuries with peace of mind, and when her injuries were healed, she would find a chance to leave here.

……

Another two days are the 50th birthday of Qian Zhenzhi, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Qian Zhenzhi, as the father of the crown prince and concubine, and a foreign official, entered Beijing and was promoted, so there are many people with 'foresight'.

On the day of May 18, the Qianfu was full of people, and there were so many carriages that they could not enter the alleys, so many people got off the bus on the street and came to the Qianfu to pay their respects.

The Qian Mansion also operated several days in advance for this day. Wave after wave of people entered, wave after wave of people came, and more than a dozen tables of wine banquets were set up in the back garden of the Qian Mansion, and it was full of people in less than an hour.

Early in the morning, the emperor called Xiao Wenxuan to him.

"Today is the deadline I gave you, will you pay it or not?" The emperor stared at Xiao Wenxuan and ordered him to hand over Su Muling.

In the face of the emperor's tough attitude, Xiao Wenxuan did not flinch at all.

"Ling'er is not here, I have no one to hand over."

"Okay, then I'll find it myself, but I've said ugly things in my head, if I find her, she'll have to die."

The emperor's words were like a sharp sword, forcing Xiao Wenxuan's face.

It was almost noon when Xiao Wenxuan left the palace, and he did not go to Su Muling as usual, but came directly to the Qian Mansion.

Xiao Wenxuan is the crown prince, not only to express his heart to the courtiers on behalf of the emperor, but also to show his face in front of everyone as Qian Zhenzhi's 'son-in-law'.

Xiao Wenxuan's arrival made the Qian Mansion shine, and Qian Yuzhi personally welcomed people directly from outside the gate to the back garden.

Xiao Wenxuan was arranged separately at a table, and at the next table were several county princes. Shi Tianyi, who hadn't shown up for a long time, also appeared here. Respectfully greeted the prince, Shi Tianyi sat down and didn't say much.

Accepting everyone's salute, Xiao Wenxuan sat on the upper seat. The most distinguished guests arrived, and Qian Yuzhi announced the opening of the banquet.

The subordinates of the Qian Mansion were dressed in red and came and went to serve exquisite dishes to the guests. The cook was invited by the Qian Mansion from several of the best restaurants in the capital, and on the stage in the garden, the most famous troupe in the capital was invited to sing.

Dealing with the people who came to toast from time to time, Xiao Wenxuan absentmindedly ate the dishes without a bite and watched the play.

Although Qian Wenting said that she came back early by coming back to/hold a birthday banquet, but her identity is here, where does the Qian family dare to let her/work. Qian Wenting was polite and took the girl to go shopping, buy things, and get off the restaurant. It wasn't until today that Qian Wenting dressed up and stayed in the flower hall to accept the worship of the adults and their dependents.

Halfway through the banquet, Wuying suddenly hurriedly walked to Xiao Wenxuan's side from outside, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear, and Xiao Wenxuan immediately got up to say goodbye.

All the guests at the table stood up to see them off. Shi Tianyi watched Xiao Wenxuan leave, his eyes were unpredictable......

"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Wenxuan sat in the carriage and asked in a low voice.

"That's right, just an hour ago, a team of officers and soldiers went to Ping'an Lane to enter the house to search for the traitor Nangong Yi, and the subordinates didn't dare to stop them and let them in. Unexpectedly, when they saw Miss Su, they wanted to take it away, but the subordinates refused to let them, saying that Miss Su was the prince's person, and if they wanted to take it away with the prince's consent, the officers and soldiers said that they were acting on orders and took Miss Su away by force. ”

Shadowless sat on the frame and told him what had happened.

"A bunch of rubbish!"

Xiao Wenxuan slapped it down, almost breaking up the carriage.

The carriage sped along the road and soon arrived at Ping'an Lane. Xiao Wenxuan got out of the car, and all the people in the house gathered in the courtyard when they heard the news, and they didn't dare to look at him with their heads down.

Xiao Wenxuan came to Su Muling's house with a dark face, in the room, a bouquet of flowers was scattered on the ground, several chairs were overturned, teacups were scattered and shattered, and the rocking chair that Su Muling often sat on was already empty.

"Prince, will it be ......?"

Emperor? Xiao Wenxuan remembered what the emperor warned him in the morning: If I let me find her, she will be dead!

Xiao Wenxuan shuddered for no reason, withdrew and walked out quickly, and Wuying hurriedly followed.

Xiao Wenxuan got into the carriage and said coldly: "Go back to the palace!" Wuying sat on the frame and secretly sweated for him.

……

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was taking a nap after lunch, and was woken up by the noise at the door.

"Let me in,......" Xiao Wenxuan's voice said.

"The emperor is resting, please wait for the prince." An Gonggong tried his best to dissuade him.

"Delayed time, cost people's lives, Ender, how many heads do you have to bear?"

Xiao Wenxuan's voice was full of emotion, and he was about to break in when he pushed aside Father-in-law An, but Father-in-law An hugged his waist from behind.

"Prince, wake up, the emperor is taking a nap, even if there is something big, you can wait for the emperor to wake up, okay?"

"You? Let go of me, don't force me to do anything to you. Xiao Wenxuan threatened angrily.

Gong An swore to death: "The prince just killed the old slave, and the old slave will not let go." ”

"Okay, then I'll fulfill your ......"

"Ender, let him in!"

The emperor's voice was majestic and low through the window lattice, making people shudder.

Gonggong An loosened Xiao Wenxuan's crumpled clothes. Xiao Wenxuan walked quickly into the Xinuan Pavilion where the emperor rested in the morning on weekdays, and Gonggong An followed closely behind.

Entering the house, Xiao Wenxuan knelt down and saluted, and the emperor stared at him with a gloomy face.

"Do you have a problem?"

Xiao Wenxuan met his gaze and replied word by word: "Yes, Erchen asked the emperor to return Su Muling to me." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Grandpa An, who also shook his head in confusion.

"You're asking for someone?" The emperor frowned slightly.

"Yes, this morning, my father sent someone to Ping'an Lane to take Ling'er away."

Xiao Wenxuan was disdainful in his heart, and his face was as unclear as possible, Su Muling's life and death were unknown, so he had to stay calm.

The emperor snorted and sneered: "I didn't expect Su Muling to be really a character, so many people want her." ”

"What do you mean...... Didn't you take people away? ”

Xiao Wenxuan stared at the emperor's face and did not let go of a single detail.

"Haha, You'an, I hope I found the person, so that I can kill her, so as not to harm the world."

The emperor stood up and walked up to Xiao Wenxuan, his eyes full of disappointment for Xiao Wenxuan.

"You'an, it seems that I have expected too much from you during this time. As a king, the most important thing is 'love', especially when dealing with harem concubines, the most important thing is not to favor one person. If you can't do that, don't blame me for making other plans for you. ”

After speaking, the emperor turned his back to Xiao Wenxuan, and said in a fierce voice:

"Father-in-law An, send the prince back to the palace, from now on, without my order, the prince is not allowed to leave the palace without permission."

"You'an, you go back and think about it, figure it out, and come see me again."
