Chapter 572: Shuren
Ye Yi gradually pursed his lips and bowed his head, and said quietly: "From now on, you take care." ”
Hearing that there was something else in his words, Chu Junlan was stunned when he heard it, and turned around and said: "Please also ask Ye Gongzi to take care, think twice, and cherish what you have." ”
Ye Yi gradually looked at the back of Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu walking hand in hand, until the iron door in front of him was closed by the Jinyi lieutenant with a "bang" and cut off the sight.
Although Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu were gone, the lantern was left in the cell, becoming the only light source and warmth for Ye Yijian at this time.
Chu Junlan lowered her eyes and walked a few steps, and her slightly cool hand was held by Xiao Xu's warm big hand, she raised her eyes, and crashed into Xiao Xu's gentle and watery eyes.
On weekdays, she is obviously such a cold and noble person, but at this time, she looks at her with gentle eyes that have never been shown to outsiders.
"Don't worry, Ye Gongzi is a smart person, now that he knows the situation of the eldest princess, he will no longer be obsessed with it, and the people in the eldest princess's mansion can save their lives."
It turned out that he thought she was worried about it.
Chu Junlan smiled: "I know, I'm just upset for you, everyone in this world has their own position......
They walked in the edict prison, and they didn't know where there were eyes and ears, but Chu Junlan didn't elaborate.
Xiao Xu understood what Chu Junlan meant, his heart was warm as if he had soaked in a hot spring, and his hand holding her tightened again.
"Let's go back quickly, the weather is getting colder, and the prison is dark and damp, so it's not suitable for you to stay for a long time."
Chu Junlan smiled and nodded.
The two walked out of the edict together, and Zhao Qian's henchman lieutenant smiled and bowed his hand to the two: "The prince, the princess walks slowly, the villain still has an errand, so she will not be far away." ”
"I'm tired." Xiao Xu was polite to him, and took Chu Junlan's hand and walked to the gate of Fusi in Beizhen.
It's just that before he arrived at the door, he saw the six princes wearing a royal blue arrow-sleeved brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a dark brocade on his shoulders.
Seeing each other, the pace of both sides gradually slowed down.
Xiao Xu and Chu Junlan stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen the Sixth Highness." ”
The disgusted eyes of the six princes turned around on Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu: "Why, Prince Gong can actually come to the Imperial Prison to visit in his busy schedule, is it to familiarize himself with the environment first?" ”
That's a harsh statement.
When Emperor Jinghong was seriously ill, the second prince and the sixth prince fought almost to tear their faces, and the last dignity was almost not saved, and Emperor Jinghong's special treatment of Xiao Xu became a thorn in the hearts of all princes.
"His Royal Highness the Sixth laughed." Xiao Xu didn't seem to understand the meaning of the Six Princes' words, "I came here to do some errands by order, and His Royal Highness the Sixth is busy, so I won't delay you." ”
As he spoke, Xiao Xu pulled Chu Junlan and the six princes to give a few thoughtful rounds, planning to leave first. The sixth prince held the "roster" in his hand, and now he was acting perversely, and Xiao Xu did not expect to confront him head-on.
The sixth prince sneered, and his eyes fell on Chu Junlan: "The princess is really a heroine among women, the family affairs are too busy, and she has to meddle in the affairs of the concubines in the palace. ”
"His Royal Highness the Sixth is falsely praised, and the courtiers are just doing things according to orders." Chu Junlan didn't know how Concubine Shu and the Six Princes added or subtracted words, and pretended not to understand without being humble or arrogant.
The smile on the face of the sixth prince faded a little, and he raised his chin with his arms folded: "You have a good mouth, and your ability to reverse right and wrong is really first-class." Hey, with your ability, you should go to the teahouse to be a storyteller, and being a princess is really wronged by you. ”
Xiao Xu's face sank, and he protected Chu Junlan with one arm behind him: "The status of the Sixth Highness is noble, it is better to be cautious." ”
"Caution? Why are you here to teach me how to speak and do things? The Sixth Prince snorted.
"As a prince, why should His Royal Highness be so mean to the family of his clan, this is in Beizhen Fusi, and he was looked at by outsiders, so it is hard to guarantee that he will not guess the source of the Sixth Highness behind his back."
The eyes of the sixth prince turned cold for a moment, he clenched his fists and walked forward quickly, grabbed Xiao Xu's collar, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you threatening me, or are you slandering my mother?" ”
Chu Junlan immediately frowned, ready to do it at any time.
Xiao Xu pinched the hands of the six princes, and broke them out expressionlessly, and the six princes felt a sore numbness in their hands, gasped and covered their right hands and frowned back.
"Bold!" The six princes reprimanded angrily.
The accompanying guards beside the six princes rushed forward and drew their swords one after another, and the sharp cold light pointed directly at Xiao Xu.
Chu Junlan stepped forward with an arrow and stood side by side with Xiao Xu, his fingertips already twisting silver needles.
Seeing that the atmosphere here was tense, the brocade guards in the courtyard were nervous, and a lieutenant anxiously went to reply to the commander Zhao Qian.
"Sixth Highness, if you want to learn martial arts, you will accompany the minister when his injury heals," Xiao Xu smiled, holding Chu Junlan's hand and still blocking her behind him, "Now that the minister's injury has not healed, if the Sixth Highness wins, it will inevitably be invincible, and if he is defeated, it will be even more ugly, don't you say?" ”
The sixth prince's hand was still numb, and he shook it vigorously and put it behind his back: "You can be proud, I want to see how long you can be proud." ”
"Thank you Your Highness for your concern," Xiao Xu smiled, "The ministers will always be proud." ”
Without looking at the face of the sixth prince, he took Chu Junlan's hand and walked out of Beizhen Fusi.
The entourage around the six princes was silent one by one, and they didn't dare to look at the faces of the six princes at all.
Zhao Qian led people to come, just heard Xiao Xu's words, thought about it but didn't come forward, and retreated quietly with people.
The sixth prince narrowed his eyes and sneered.
So arrogant, then it's no wonder that he is.
Chu Junlan got into the carriage with Xiao Xu, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect that we Xuxu still have the ability to be angry and not pay for their lives." Su Rili saw that you were silent, and you didn't know how to talk like this. ”
"I can't listen to him talk about you like that." Xiao Xu's face was calm.
Chu Junlan was funny when she heard it, but her heart was warm, with Xiao Xuken standing up for her like this, even if there was a risk, she was willing to bear it with him.
In the autumn rain, the weather suddenly became cold, and when Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu had just changed into thick autumn clothes and prepared their fur collar clothes, a shocking news spread in the capital.
The eldest princess and Ye Yi were gradually demoted to concubines by the emperor.
"I heard that all the belongings of the eldest princess's mansion have been confiscated, and all the servants and maids have been pulled and sold. The eldest princess and Ye Gongzi are now temporarily living in the inn, and it seems that they plan to leave the capital. ”
Chu Junlan listened to Jing Yu's reply, and paused with the action of holding the tea bowl in his hand: "I didn't expect that the eldest princess, who was in a beautiful situation, would end up in such a situation." ”
"With the emperor's jealousy of the Lihui, it is already an extrajudicial grace to be able to save his life, but he can only keep a useful body and make a comeback," Xiao Xu turned to Jingyu and instructed Jing Yu to send the silver he had prepared to Ye Yijian and the eldest princess, and asked, "When did the Guogong Mansion say that you will go back?" ”
