Xiao Jingchen glanced at Ding Rui and was silent.

Ding Rui was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out.

Xiao Jingchen waved his hand at him, signaling that he could leave.

Ding Rui wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he obediently hugged his fists and saluted.

When he walked away, Xiao Jingchen beckoned to the person behind him, and the guards immediately stepped forward and half-bent over.

"Go and tell Doctor Lu and ask him to prepare an antidote and send it back to Kyoto."

The guards should go down and do it immediately.

Xiao Jingchen sat upstairs for a while and got up to leave.

After staying in Qingzhou City for two days, Xiao Jingchen returned to Linjia Village.

When I entered the door, I happened to see Lin Ruan in the courtyard, walking precariously.

Lin Ruan has been training for more than half a month, and now she has no problem walking with crutches at all, but she is not satisfied, so today is the first time she has tried to throw crutches and walk by herself.

Without crutches, she felt that her legs still couldn't support the weight of her whole body, and her center of gravity was a little unstable, really in the same state as a child who had just learned to walk.

Green Calyx and Jin Luan stared at Lin Ruan nervously, ready to rush up as a backpad as soon as possible.

Lin Ruan was not too reckless, and the goal she set for herself for the first time was from the door of her room, and she could reach the door of Xiuxiu's room on the opposite side without wrestling.

If you want not to wrestle, you must be fast, the slower it is, the easier it is to shake, and the easier it is to wrestle, this is the conclusion that Lin Ruan came to based on the memory of the original master who taught Xiuxiu to walk before.

So she was going to run to the opposite side as fast as she could.

Just as she was halfway there, she suddenly heard the voice of the guard at the door: "Subordinates see the prince." ”

As soon as Lin Ruan heard that Xiao Jingchen was back, he was distracted, and subconsciously turned his head to look, but before he saw Xiao Jingchen, he tripped under his feet, and the whole person was about to fall out.

But before she could scream, she was scooped into her arms by Xiao Jingchen, who rushed over.

Xiao Jingchen had a look of obvious surprise on his face, and said helplessly: "Didn't you promise me to take my time?" ”

Lin Ruan was caught, his eyes rolled, and he immediately shook the pot, "Actually, if you hadn't come back suddenly, I wouldn't have had an accident." ”

Xiao Jingchen couldn't cry or laugh, but he was very cooperative, "Yes, it's all my fault, I shouldn't distract you." ”

This made Lin Ruan embarrassed, and laughed dryly, "Did you find anything?" ”

Xiao Jingchen picked her up, walked to the eaves, put her on the rocking chair, and fanned her with a fan, "The third prince did not go to Yansha Country, but hid in the mountains of Yongqing Mansion. ”

Lin Ruan raised his eyebrows, "In the mountains of Yongqing Mansion? He shouldn't be hiding in the territory of the previous King of Chu, right? ”

Xiao Jingchen smiled, "That's what I guessed, so I asked Ding Rui to take someone to investigate." ”

Lin Ruan smiled and said, "If it's really hiding there, I have a way to catch him." When Princess Chu sent someone to send away the concubines of King Chu before, I still remember the secret path she used to take. It is very hidden, and the people of the three princes may not be able to find it. Let's go, go to the study, and I'll draw the route map of the secret passage. ”

As he spoke, he stood up with his chair propped up.

Xiao Jingchen hurriedly picked her up and walked towards the study.

Lin Ruan had already been accustomed to being hugged by him in front of everyone and the guards during this time, so she calmly went to the study, and waited for Xiao Jingchen to spread out the paper for her and polish the ink, and then she started to draw.

After a while, the floor plan of the villa of the King of Chu was drawn by Lin Ruan, and the direction and layout were clearly marked.

Stopping his pen, Lin Ruan looked at the picture and was stunned for a while, then sighed and said, "I can't do it like before in the future." ”

Xiao Jingchen knew what she was talking about.

Her abilities are gone, and it's not so convenient to get hold of information anymore.

Afraid that she would be uncomfortable, Xiao Jingchen took her hand and rubbed it, "Ah Ruan......"

Lin Ruan looked up and smiled at him, "Don't worry, I accepted it a long time ago, but I just feel a little regretful." ”

Xiao Jingchen knew that she must be sad in her heart, after all, it was really difficult for a strong person to accept the reality of losing her ability. Lin Ruan has been acting very calm these days, but he is just afraid that he will worry.

hugged her into his arms and comforted her softly: "When you are well, I will teach you martial arts." But there is one thing I have to explain first, no matter how much you practice kung fu, you can't compare to your original ability. ”

Lin Ruan smiled on his chest, "Jing Chen, you are so good." ”

He knew where her knot was, so he was trying to find a way to make her have as much ability as possible so that she wouldn't feel like she would be a drag. This is much more useful than saying 10,000 words that she doesn't have to worry, she doesn't have to try, and he will protect her.

Because he knows how proud as she would be willing to be a Lingxiao flower who clings to him all his life.

She just wanted to stand side by side with him and support each other.

Xiao Jingchen lowered his head and imprinted a kiss on her forehead, "You are also very good." ”

A few days later, Xiao Jingchen received a flying pigeon message from Ding Rui from Yongqing Mansion, proving that his and Lin Ruan's guesses were not wrong. The three princes were indeed hidden in the villa of the King of Chu.

At this time, rumors outside have spread all over the sky.

Lin Jia Village naturally received the news, and the villagers were all very worried, so they came to Lin Ruan's yard to see if Lin Ruan had really come back.

But Lin Ruan had already changed her appearance, and now that she was standing in front of Lin Zhong, she couldn't recognize her, let alone those people in the village.

When the villagers knocked on the gate of the courtyard, they explained their intentions, saying that they wanted to be the hostess.

Lin Ruan came out on crutches, tilted his head curiously and asked, "Excuse me, are you in trouble?" ”

The villagers had long been curious about the people living in this courtyard, but the patriarch said that it was Xiao Jingchen's relative, so everyone didn't come to bother.

In the past few days, when they heard the rumors outside, they could no longer hold back and wanted to come over to see if the rumors were true.

Now looking at the lady in front of her, who is full of luxury, but her body shape and appearance are not half similar to Lin Ruan, everyone is a little embarrassed.

Tie Zhu Niang stared at Lin Ruan for a long time, and then asked, "Please...... May I ask Madame, can you hear the rumors outside? ”

Lin Ruan smiled: "What this lady said are those rumors about Princess Changning outside? If so, then I have heard that my husband has been busy investigating this matter these days, and has sent a letter back to Princess Changning and Prince Xiao. ”

Tie Zhuniang's face was happy, "Madame mean, the princess is not sick?" ”

Lin Ruan said with a smile: "Didn't that rumor say that Princess Changning and the prince returned to their hometown?" In fact, the people who live here are me and my husband, isn't that enough to show that the words outside are false? Don't worry, Princess Changning is fine. This is someone who wants to make trouble by the princess, you are the princess's clan, you can't follow the outside to make a fool, otherwise the princess will definitely be angry if she finds out. ”
