Chapter 243: Kidnapping
Ye Yi's words were like splashing beads, his momentum was tough, and he looked at Chu Junlan with burning eyes, as if he must force an answer.
Chu Junlan's face gradually condensed, and his heart became more and more disgusted.
Although she and Ye Yijian are friends, they are not to the point where they can say such private words, not to mention that she knows Ye Yichuan's intentions and clearly rejects him. Now he chased him to the palace of Gongding and asked her such a question, what was his position?
And why did she tell him this?
Chu Junlan stood up.
As she moved, Ye Yi had to step back a little.
She bypassed the official hat chair, opened the distance between the two and looked at him at eye level, and said in a deep voice: "Ye Gongzi asked if these are overstepping?" ”
Seeing that her face was unhappy, Ye Yi smiled bitterly: "I guess you will be angry, but I still want to know ......"
"Ye Gongzi, please be cautious. Since ancient times, marriage events have always been the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents, is it useful to say the rest? What's more, with the current situation and background of you and me, do you think it is appropriate to discuss these things in the front hall of the Gongding Palace? ”
Ye Yi gradually looked at her extraordinarily bright eyes when she was angry, and the love in her heart turned into vines, wrapping him tightly and gradually tightening, he had no strength to escape at all.
"Junlan ......"
"Ye Gongzi, please go back," Chu Junlan sighed, "Go and say goodbye to your family before you pull out, the eldest princess and the guest of honor are the people you should care about." ”
Bending his knees, Chu Junlan walked out.
Ye Yigradually looked at her back, and couldn't help but chase a few steps: "Junlan!" The words of the matchmaker are justified, and sooner or later I can give it to you! ”
Chu Junlan didn't hear it, and went out directly with the warm curtain.
Seeing Chu Junlan coming out, Zi Yan hurriedly followed, and asked suspiciously: "Girl, what can Ye Gongzi say for you?" ”
Chu Junlan paused and said in a deep voice, "It's nothing." ”
Ye Yi's attitude of questioning so strongly made her feel uncomfortable. Does she like Xiao Xu or not, and why should she tell him?
※
"Shizi, the third lady went back to the house directly when she saw Ye Gongzi, and ordered a maid to inform her." Jing Yu came back from outside and carefully observed Xiao Xu's face.
The book in Xiao Xu's hand hadn't turned a page for a long time, and when he heard the words, he put it down directly: "What about Ye Yichuan?" ”
"Ye Gongzi also said goodbye," Jing Yu came to his senses and told all the news he had just inquired about, "I heard that when the third lady and Ye Gongzi left, their faces were not very good, and they didn't seem to have a pleasant chat. If you want me to say, Ye Gongzi is doing this too much, the third lady is now the son of the world in her heart, where can she have the heart to take care of him. ”
Xiao Xu raised his eyes to look at Jing Yu.
As soon as Jing Yu came into contact with his master's eyes, he poured beans like chicken blood: "Look, the third miss cares about you so much, it's not easy to come out in the Maoguo Mansion now, every time she comes out, it's to give you a look, the third miss is so capable, but in front of you, it's still the same as before, the third miss has never been as boring as other people, she only teases you alone, so the third miss has you in her heart, she has you in her heart, so naturally she has no leisure to take care of others." ”
There was a smile on the corner of Xiao Xu's lips: "This is reasonable." ”
Jing Yu secretly sighed twice, the wise and martial prince of the world, when he met the third lady, he also became a soft ear.
Chu Junlan took the car back to the Maoguo Mansion, and when she got out of the car, she had already adjusted her mentality, and went to the main house of Zhiyuan Zhai to see the Xu family as usual.
As a result, the two of them had just chatted a few words when they met, and Qiqing quickly came in and replied, "Miss Lan, the prince invites you to go to the front hall." It is said that there is a distinguished guest. ”
Xu Shi and Chu Junlan glanced at each other and asked, "Do you know who is here?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, it seems that it is Miss Lan's old friend, who is it, the slave and maid didn't hear clearly."
Chu Junlan got up and said, "Mother, I'll take a look." ”
"Go ahead." Although the Xu family is worried, with Chu Hua outside, she can rest assured.
Chu Junlan bypassed the screen, went to the outer room to put on the honey-colored brocade cloak handed by Zi Yan, and walked quickly to the front hall of the outer courtyard.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw an unexpected person eating tea with Chu Hua.
"Baiyin? How are you? Chu Junlan was very surprised, and then realized that his name was wrong, and hurriedly saluted, "I've seen Prince Baiyin." ”
Bai Yin got up and returned the salute, and said with a smile, "Miss Chu doesn't have to be polite, you saved the lives of me and Nuo Min, you are so polite when you see me, how can I go?" ”
Chu Junlan hurriedly said: "Where is it, in fact, the situation at that time was complicated, you are willing to remember my benefit, it is your noble character, but I don't dare to be so big." ”
Bai Yin shook his head: "No matter what, Nuo Min and I will remember your kindness and never forget." He turned to Chu Hua and said, "And Lord Chu, thank you for helping me meet the emperor." ”
"This is also a mutually beneficial and win-win situation, and the lower officials can't afford to thank His Highness. Chu Hua hurriedly bowed his hand.
After taking a seat according to his identity, Bai Yin said: "I am going to go on the expedition immediately, and I will definitely avenge my parents and family this time, and my sister will stay with you." ”
"Where is Princess Nomin now?" Chu Junlan asked.
Bai Yin's smile was a little bitter, and he sighed: "Nuo Min is going to stay here and get married." My life and death are uncertain, no one can say for sure what is happening on the battlefield, Miss Chu, if I have a case, I still hope that you can take care of my sister, here she has no relatives, isolated, I can only ask for you. ”
Bai Yin stood up, regardless of his status as a prince, and gave Chu Junlan a big gift.
Chu Junlan hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, not accepting his courtesy: "Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, my ability is limited, I don't dare to promise anything, but I will do my best." I have a great relationship with Princess Nomin, and I can't bear to see her suffer if she is in danger. ”
Thinking of Nuo Min, who was dedicated to protecting Bai Yin, Chu Junlan could think of himself and his eldest brother, who were also killed by their relatives, who were also burdened with a sea of blood and hatred, and who also had to find a way to take revenge.
The difference is that Bai Yin and Nuo Min have now seen the dawn of hope, but she and her eldest brother have only taken the beginning of the road to avenge their mother, and now she has not even had a chance to meet Yi Yuhai, let alone ask why Shuntianfu terminated the investigation in the first place.
When Bai Yin got Chu Junlan's promise, he had already let go of half of his heart. Chu Junlan's ability is what he has seen with his own eyes, and she is a person who values love and commitment, since she promised him, if Nuo Min is in trouble in the future, she will definitely not stand idly by.
Looking at Chu Hua again, Bai Yin smiled, and seemed to be more relieved.
On the day of the departure of the marching team, many people in the capital went to bid farewell.
Chu Junlan and Chu Lingxi invited the sister-in-law and sister-in-law of the second hall to go out by car early in the morning, and sat down in the private room on the street of the teahouse that had been booked in front of the city gate, chatting with tea while watching the excitement outside.
King Gongding, as the commander-in-chief, was dressed in gold armor and wrapped his slightly fat figure, and when he sat on the horse with his back straight, he had another awe-inspiring momentum.
Bai Yin, who is the deputy marshal, and Ye Yichuan, the military advisor, are also in the team. With the roar of horses' hooves and wheels, the people's chattering and cheering gradually became louder.
Chu Lingxi propped his chin and said, "Oh, it's so majestic, if only I could be like them one day." ”
The sister-in-law in the lobby and the sister-in-law in the second hall both laughed when they heard this.
"You, a girl's family, why don't you envy others? Do you still want to be a female general? Even if you have that ability, it won't be your turn to go out in a peaceful and prosperous world. ”
"That's why I feel wronged!" Chu Lingxi shook his head and sighed, "Since I was a child, my grandfather taught me boxing, the art of war, and taught this and that, but now it is a peaceful and prosperous world, and there is no place for it, do you say that I am wronged or not?" I'm really delayed by the peaceful and prosperous times! ”
Chu Junlan laughed when he heard it: "You, just be happy." It's a kind of happiness to have such a whining hair, isn't it? Besides, if you really want to serve the court, there are many ways, as a human being, there is always an opportunity to realize your value, depending on whether you want to do it or not. ”
Chu Lingxi's eyes were shining and he nodded: "What you said is reasonable, that's why you have such superb medical skills?" I see that my uncle's illness has improved a lot, and he can practice boxing in the morning. ”
The sister-in-law in the lobby said gratefully: "Your eldest brother said this morning that he would like to thank you well, if it weren't for you for your father-in-law's illness that day, I'm afraid the consequences would be unimaginable." ”
Chu Junlan waved his hand: "One family, why do you have to talk about two families?" ”
The army had already assembled outside the city, and when the commander and others were escorted out of the city by the army, the streets were once again lively, the people scattered to do other things, and some people began to talk loudly about the war in the teahouses.
Chu Junlan looked at the railing, originally a casual glance, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that at the mouth of the alley diagonally opposite, it seemed that a woman was being pulled in with her mouth covered.
Chu Junlan frowned, turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, sister, I went out a little beforehand." Leaving such a sentence, regardless of the reaction of the sister-in-law in the lobby and the second sister-in-law, he hurriedly went downstairs and went straight to the alley.
But when she came to the mouth of the alley, she saw no one at a glance.
She thought back to the scene and made sure she was not mistaken. If she didn't see it, she saw it, and if she didn't care, it seemed that she couldn't get over it in her heart.
Thinking of this, Chu Junlan turned around and told Zi Yan: "You go back to the house first, you don't have to follow me." Then he walked directly into the alley and carefully investigated.
Although Zi Yan was worried about Chu Junlan, she also knew that she would only drag her feet, so she obediently went back first.
Chu Junlan found clues after careful investigation.
There were messy footprints in the alley in front of the flashing black lacquer gate, and there seemed to be a muffled "woo" sound behind the gate.
Chu Junlan quietly clung to it, only to hear a slightly familiar voice say: "It's useless for you to call, let's admit it." Oh, you don't look down on me? What am I not worthy of you? You say, am I not worthy of my identity, or am I not worthy of my appearance? I've never been so humiliated since I've grown so big! You're blind to an idiot who doesn't make it! Where am I not as good as Chu Zhan! ”
