Chapter 585: Threat
The smiles on both Zi Yuan and Zi Yan's faces faded a little.
Zi Yan stomped her feet: "What do they mean, at such a good time, they will come to make trouble, and they will not say that they have tied up our family, and this will be difficult for our princess!" ”
Chu Junlan pinched Zi Yan's face, got up and helped Jin Hai, put on the white fox fur collar that Zi Yuan brought, and walked out slowly.
"Where are the others? Coming alone? ”
"There are about a dozen people from the other side, and the leader is an old man, but according to his subordinates, the old man is a practitioner, and the princess must beware." Huo Yeqing's face was serious, as if he was facing a great enemy.
"Got it, you bring someone with me." Chu Junlan took the maidservant out first.
Huo Yeqing bowed his head, and immediately called all the guards who Xiao Xu had arranged for Chu Junlan, and the group went to the front hall of the palace behind Chu Junlan.
In the front hall, the chief butler Mao Quan was entertaining guests, and a layer of hot sweat appeared on his forehead, which he wiped off with a plain white handkerchief.
Chu Junlan shook his head amusedly, and waved his hand to signal Mao Quan to step aside.
Mao Quan was like being amnestied, and hurriedly retreated behind Chu Junlan.
Chu Junlan stretched his cloak on the main seat and sat down elegantly, raising his eyebrows and looking at the group of people standing aside with their heads down.
The old man at the head was about the age of sixties, dressed in pine green brocade Fushou pattern cotton, with a thin figure, slightly hunchbacked, gray beard, wrinkled face, but a pair of extraordinarily shrewd eyes, and looking at his standing posture and protruding air pockets, it can be concluded that this is a master.
"Sit down and talk, old gentleman." Chu Junlan smiled politely.
The old man arched his hand and smiled: "Don't dare, the old man has a humble identity, and he doesn't dare to make a mistake in front of Prince Gong's princess." Our master knows that you promised to give our second son a medical treatment, and he is very happy, but the second son has been sick for a long time, and now the weather is cold outside, so it is really not convenient to move. What our master means is to ask the princess to work hard and take a trip to our palace. ”
"Yes, it's really inconvenient to go to your house to see the second son. I also told your princess that many of the things I brought are in my room, and if you want to save people, you have to use what things, go to your house, I don't even know what tools and herbs to bring, how to save people? If it's for the sake of the second son, it's better for you to send someone here. ”
"I'm afraid it's up to you." The old man was smiling, but the momentum around him was changing.
Huo Yeqing and the guards were all nervous and ready for battle.
Chu Junlan looked the old man up and down with a pair of sharp eyes, and then looked at the nine young men behind him, and said indifferently: "I have been in the capital all the year round, and I rarely have the opportunity to walk around, but I don't know that the customs of Huaijing are like this. ”
"You're laughing. Old decay doesn't mean to force you. As he spoke, the old man took out an object from his bosom and threw it on the ground.
It was a handful of hair, with a golden hairpin wrapped around it, as if someone had cut it straight from a woman's head with a sharp blade. Looking at the mature style of silver silk and gold hairpins mixed in the hair, it can be concluded that these hairs originally belonged to Princess Zhang.
"If you don't go, it doesn't matter, but our master means that the lives of those people will not be guaranteed by then."
The faces of the room changed.
Huo Yeqing immediately stepped forward and protected Chu Junlan and waited for him.
The old man was smiling, the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes seemed to be full of calculations, and the coercion that could not be concealed from all over his body was released without reservation, as if Chu Junlan did not agree to go with him today, he would snatch people directly.
Chu Junlan smiled, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, secretly containing enough internal strength to put the white porcelain tea bowl on the table.
With a sound of "tuk", the tea bowl was safe and sound, but the black lacquer square table where the tea bowl was placed made a "click" sound, the desktop cracked several times, and the tea bowl fell apart with a loud breaking sound.
The old man's face changed, and he looked at Chu Junlan in disbelief, and the nine people behind him also had serious faces and tensed all over.
When the guards led by Huo Yeqing saw this meeting, they immediately felt angry, and looked at each other mockingly.
"Since you've figured it out, it's okay to go with you." Chu Junlan stood up lightly, straightened his neckline, and walked out, "It's not that I don't treat your son-in-law, but you don't listen to the doctor's advice, if you delay things, then don't blame me." ”
The old man's face was ugly, and he turned around and called his entourage to catch up with Chu Junlan and his party, from the beginning of the domineering to passive.
This time, Chu Junlan went out to take a car, and the honor guard of the princess of the palace going out of the city was complete. The guards and servants followed on both sides, attracting the attention of many people in the city.
The old man rode his horse and followed at the end, his face was very solemn. Chu Junlan went out with great fanfare, but many people saw it, if the Huai'an Royal Mansion forcibly kept people, I was afraid that it would be difficult to end.
When they arrived at the gate of the Huai'an Palace, the old man and his entourage went to the door to reply.
But after a while, I saw the side door open, and Shi Hanzhong, the head of the palace, greeted him: "Prince Gong and the princess are coming, please come in, please come in, our princess is already coming forward to welcome you." ”
Chu Junlan helped Zi Yuan and Zi Yan to step on the wooden bench and got out of the car, ordered Huo Yeqing to follow behind him with the medical box, and slowly walked into the door of the palace.
But after a while, I saw the princess Yin of Huai'an, the princess of the king, coming up with a maidservant.
"My sister is here, I didn't expect our sisters to meet again so soon."
Chu Junlan smiled and said: "Sister Yin is fine, my sister didn't expect that your mansion would invite me in such a polite way, since I have brought a 'meeting gift', I can't refuse, right?" ”
Yin's face was red and white for a while when he was squeezed by Chu Junlan's words, and he squeezed out a smile in embarrassment and said, "You can go to the front hall to rest for a while and have a cup of tea, right?" ”
"No need, since it's for me to treat the second son, take me to him first, so as not to blame me for the delay later."
Yin Shi became more and more embarrassed: "It seems that my sister is to blame?" ”
Chu Junlan only looked at the Yin family with a smile, although she didn't say anything, she also told the people of Huai'an Mansion bluntly that their kidnapping method of asking for a doctor made her very unhappy.
The side courtyard where Xiao Yunchang lives is in the southwest corner of the outer courtyard, and along the way, Chu Junlan is quietly remembering the terrain in the mansion. The palace is built like a garden, everywhere exquisite, through the instrument door through the hall, not long a group of people came to a courtyard door.
The plaque with green lacquer characters on a black background hangs high on the green lacquered wooden door, and the word "Changhuai" is strong and powerful.
The subordinates in Changhuai Courtyard formed two teams in front of the courtyard gate, and the elders led by Chu Junlan and a few little servants had an impression when they looked at it, and they all followed Xiao Yunchang into the capital.
"Sister, please." Yin politely led Chu Junlan to the direction of the bedroom.
Huo Yeqing glanced left and right, and the accompanying guards occupied a favorable position in the courtyard.
In front of the door, a little girl lifted the light blue brocade warm curtain, and a turbid smell of bitter medicine and smoke mixed with a faint smell of blood came to his nose, making Chu Junlan frown.
