The road under the city platform is not long, but it is not short.

When the carriage that Danyang was sitting in stopped on the inside of the Donghua Gate, Xiao Huangmen had already prepared its shoulders and was waiting for her to drive.

"County Lord, be careful."

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Zizhu carefully helped Danyang out of the carriage.

Only a few steps away, but she was already sweating nervously.

The sharp-eyed little yellow door on the side immediately noticed it and stepped forward without a trace. While secretly looking at the pair of master and servant, he asked Zizhu in a low voice:

"Miss Zizhu, is there any discomfort with the county lord?"

Before the words landed, he asked in an almost angry voice:

"Something is wrong?"

Could it be that an assassin lurked in the carriage and coerced the Danyang County Lord and his party?

There is not a road leading directly to the East Palace, Duanmu Palace.

In between, it is not only separated by small lush gardens, but also a sparkling river, the Neijinshui River, meanders through it.

All these arrangements, in addition to highlighting the majesty of the East Palace, are also to protect the personal safety of the crown prince.

Not only has a buffer zone been set up, from the Imperial Forest Army guarding everywhere to the little yellow gate who is responsible for delivering messages, they are all extra vigilant. Especially for the nobles who have privileges such as the lord of Danyang and do not need to be inspected in the Donghua Gate outside, they are especially cautious.

"Ahem, it's nothing, it's not a big deal......"

Zizhu was trying to cover up Danyang's gaffe, but he didn't want to finish his words before he was suppressed by the crisp voice of the person next to him.

Father-in-law Lao was worried. I had a few words with my mother at home in the morning, and I felt aggrieved when I thought about it just now, so I couldn't help crying again. It's a little dizzy and tired at this point, which is not a big deal. ”

Danyang who was talking was nothing, Zizhu, who was listening on the side, was already flushed, and Xiao Huangmen was also laughing embarrassedly at the moment.

"Hehe, the county lord is innocent, and the eldest princess is also for your good. The county lord don't go to his heart, please. ”

The confused little yellow door, after a little stiff persuasion, immediately turned around, ready to hurry up and invite this great god away.

Zizhu was also shy about Danyang, and unconsciously accelerated the speed of his feet.

But as a party, Danyang still has leisure, looking around, and steadily walks to the shoulder.

When you sit on your shoulders and the eye level is higher, the scene in front of the entire East Palace will be clearer.

On the inner Jinshui River that flows from north to south, there is a stone bridge, but it is different from the extravagance outside the Donghua Gate, and the carving here is simple and simple, it is more stable and dignified, and it seems that it also knows that it is more practical.

Because of this, the sun was in full bloom, carrying Danyang's shoulders, and deliberately chose a forest path to go to Duanmu Palace. Therefore, this road also made Danyang better, admiring the various vegetation along the way.

Stone orchids, bamboos, pines and cypresses and some flowers and plants that she is not famous for, but knows how to feed are all over the left and right along the way.

While seeing this, Danyang thought of the rumors about the prince that began to spread in the previous life.

According to rumors, Emperor Xuande favored Empress Yuan, but he was not interested in the crown prince born by Empress Yuan. After Empress Yuan's early death, in addition to giving the prince due dignity because of his love for the house and Wu, there was not much father-son relationship between the two.

Not only did he never ask about the prince's daily life, but he didn't even pay attention to the supply of the East Palace.

As a result, not long after the crown prince was enlightened, he was forced to play, asking him to take charge of the East Palace so that he would not freeze to death or starve to death.

That is to say, according to this rumor, the golden Donghua Gate outside is the emperor's last nostalgia for the Yuan Dynasty. The poor East Palace inside is the real situation of the prince at this moment - overstretched and stormy.

Danyang sat on a high place, with one hand on his chin, and his eyes leisurely swept over the vigorous flowers and plants.

Oh, these rumors can also deceive the middle and lower officials who don't know the inside story and can't even enter the study, as well as the people who don't know what's going on.

At this time, a sharp wind sound, mixed with the breeze that came from the face, swept in an instant.

"County Lord!"

Before Zizhu screamed, Danyang had instinctively sensed the danger, and the whole person slid down directly, and climbed the bamboo pole on his shoulder, and fell to the ground in extreme danger.

"Shhhh

The moment he landed, although Danyang tried to avoid using his injured foot to exert force, he still had an impact on it in the end.

But when she gasped for cold air in pain, her eyes looked at the seat of the bamboo shoulder that she had just sat on.

At this moment, the servant who realized it later, and the palace maid who followed on the side, had just reacted, and with Danyang's gaze, they looked at a short arrow on the exquisitely woven bamboo chair with tail feathers still trembling.

"Ahh

"Thorn, Assassin! Yes, thorn ......"

"Shouting what, shouting what? Shut up! Disturbed the three princes, you are good-looking! ”

Before the screams could spread, someone had already strode from the forest, calling for silence for everyone.

He was followed by the third prince himself, who was holding a short crossbow and had a high-spirited face.

"Yo, isn't this Danyang? You're looking for Big Brother again? ”

At this moment, because of the identity of the comer, everyone was silent for a moment.

Not to mention talking about blame, there are not even many who dare to raise their heads.

Although Zizhu was resentful, she kept in mind Mama Zhou's warning - when you go out, don't cause trouble for the county lord and the princess's mansion. Do your best to protect the safety of the county lord. That is, it includes the safety of life, and naturally it also includes reputation.

Therefore, she could only support Danyang and keep asking in distress.

"Where did you get hurt, county lord? Frightened, right? The slave and maid will find someone to invite the imperial doctor, or send someone to report the crime to His Royal Highness the Prince, let's go back to the house today. ”

After Danyang breathed a sigh of relief, he waved his hand to stop Zizhu's chatter, and looked coldly at the green boy in front of him.

"Third Highness, do you want to take Danyang's life?"

This sentence not only shocked the three princes and others on the other side, but even Zizhu beside Danyang nervously grasped the arm in his hand for a moment, and the strength of the arm of the county lord of Danyang was almost into the flesh.

When the county lord said this, did he want to force the third prince to admit his mistake and apologize?

can use such an aggressive tone, in case of a hard bar with the third prince, not to mention that it is easy to suffer at the moment. It was later passed to the mother of the third prince, Concubine Jing's ears, and it was even more troublesome!

Danyang didn't even move his eyebrows from beginning to end, only quietly staring at the three princes opposite.

In the depths of his clear and quiet eyes, it seems that a cluster of dancing fire is quietly burning. The uncertainty is terrifying, and the beauty makes people can't take their eyes off it.

The third prince couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but soon came back to his senses because of the instinctive creepyness, and couldn't help but secretly speak.

Tsk, is this crazy girl really up to be angry?

He was taught when he was a child, this girl is so bold that she doesn't blink an eye. And in this matter, not only did he not take any chance, but the place where it happened was still in the East Palace, which was too unfavorable for him.

As soon as he thought of this, the third prince had to pinch his nose for the time being, and consider himself unlucky.

After slightly restraining his arrogance, he laughed and said:

"I'm just missing for a while, and you're nothing, so why bother holding on? Another day, I'll shoot the prey and give you one more. ”

This is already a rare good temper of the third prince, but Danyang didn't appreciate it, and only said coldly:

"No, I don't have to. If the Third Highness really feels that what he has done is not right, he will make amends. ”
