At sunset and dusk, the slanting sun shone into the window lattice, imprinting a touch of beauty on Mei Xiaoren's side face, like a flush when he was slightly drunk.

Jiang Rong was still sitting behind the bookcase, he had already abandoned the book, secretly spread rice paper, held a pen lightly dipped in ink and color, and secretly traced her appearance on the paper. She worries about the person who has no news all day long, and her eyebrows are often frowned, which makes his beautiful flowers more charming.

Mei Xiaoren's ears were very quiet, and he noticed that Jiang Rong hadn't answered her for a long time, and only after a glance did he realize that he was busy with other things.

She stood up with a blank face and walked towards him.

After all, stealing a painting is stealing a painting, Jiang Rong is quite a thief, and it is too late to hide the painting, seeing her coming in three or two steps, it seems that he has already seen the painting scroll that he has not yet finished at a glance.

Mei Xiaoren glanced at Jiang Rong and said in a tone of praise: "The painting is quite similar." ”

Jiang Rong was very happy in his heart, and blurted out: "This painting is hasty, not as good as the previous one, and the previous one is more similar." ”

"Once upon a time?" Mei Xiaoren stretched out his hand to him with interest, "Paint, I'll take a look." ”

Jiang Rong's face suddenly became sad. He was worried, not because he couldn't get the painting, but because he had always hated Gu Chuyu because of the hatred for taking the painting, and now he hated it, and he was unwilling to forgive it.

"In ...... Gu Chuyu is there. Jiang Rong spoke quietly, for fear that she would be worried when she mentioned Gu Chuyu.

Mei Xiaoren still had a smile on his lips, but he responded with heavy eyes: "Then when Chu Yu comes back, I'll go home and watch." ”

They were chatting in the dormitory, and suddenly there was a noise in the outer hall, and the movement was not small, as if someone had broken in.

Jiang Rong was taken aback, and Mei Xiaoren was also vigilant.

Both of them fell silent, listening to the movement outside.

The sound of hurried footsteps confirmed their suspicions, and not only were there people coming, but quite a few people were coming.

"I'll take a look."

After Jiang Rong finished speaking, he walked towards the door, and only after Mei Xiaoren hid behind the veil did he open the palace door.

At first, Jiang Rong didn't think in a bad direction, but now that the entire palace is under his control, the palace has long been under martial law, what kind of trouble can come to the door?

But when he saw the doors of the temple and the inside of the temple, he could not help but be shocked.

There were dozens of people standing in the outer hall, half of them were palace people who were waiting beside him, and now they all had extra knives around their necks without exception. The men who held them hostage with knives were also dressed in the clothes of the inner prison, but they did not look like servants of the palace.

Someone held the prince's servants hostage, and the guards had already alarmed, but because they had hostages in their hands, the guards did not dare to act rashly, so they could only hold their swords outside the palace and wait for Jiang Rong's orders.

Jiang Rong glanced at those palace people and found that Ah Qing was also among them.

Ah Qing has been bedridden to recuperate since he was scolded with a cane before, and as soon as his body improved, he was held hostage in front of him with a knife.

"Your Highness...... His Royal Highness ......" Aqing's legs trembled, and his voice trembled.

Jiang Rong remembered that Mei Xiaoren had told him in the past few days that the more critical the situation, the more people could not mess with themselves, no matter how afraid they were, they could not show it, and they could not lose their minds.

He suppressed the horror in his heart and calmly asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

One said: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince, we are the guards of the Guogong Mansion, and we are here to meet the prince on the order of the Lord Guogong." ”

"Face-to-face?" Jiang Rong pointed to the knife in his hand, "You guys are so face-to-face?" ”

"Your Highness forgives your sins, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a noble status, if there is no hostage in hand, how can His Highness condescend to see us."

Jiang Rong turned his eyes to the side and said indifferently: "What do you want?" ”

"Lord Guogong is just outside the palace gate, and I want to say hello to His Highness in person."

In the time of half the incense, the figure that could already be called a nightmare for Jiang Rong walked slowly. Wei Guogong stepped over the threshold and smiled and arched his hand towards Jiang Rong: "The minister has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Only Wei Guogong came.

Jiang Rong sat on the main seat, glanced at a few dogs in the Wei State Mansion, and said lightly: "Uncle went to great lengths, just to ask the prince in person?" ”

Wei Guogong laughed a few more times, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really strict in governing the palace ban, all the palace gates are not allowed to enter and exit at will, and the ministers have really put a lot of thought into order for them to see His Highness." ”

"This prince is here now, my uncle is satisfied, can he be released?"

"Release?" Wei Guogong sighed with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really simple, the ministers are not only here to ask His Highness for peace, but the use of these minions is far more than just forcing His Highness to show up." ”

Jiang Rong's face sank, frowned and asked, "What else do you want to do?" ”

Wei Guogong looked around the hall and said unhurriedly: "I heard that there is a guest in His Highness's palace recently, can you allow the minister to meet him?" ”

Jiang Rong's heart tightened, and he had to force himself to continue to keep calm, and said: "Ridiculous, there are no guests here for this prince, I'm afraid my uncle will hear it." ”

"The eyes and ears of the minister will never be wrong, I heard that the distinguished guest is a person from Jiangnan, I don't know if she came from afar this time, or if she has already settled in Shangjing, just entering the palace to see His Royal Highness."

"This prince said, there is no distinguished guest you said here, if you don't believe it, ask these minions, their lives are still in your hands, and they will not lie to you." Jiang Rong glanced at several hostages next to the hall.

He seemed calm, but his heart was already in chaos. The villain hid in his palace very carefully, not only did he not go out much, but he had not shown his face in front of any of the minions, but he still revealed his whereabouts......

Wei Guogong sent someone to sneak into the palace to kidnap him, making it clear that he wanted to blackmail him and force him to hand over the villain, how could he not panic.

"They are loyal to His Highness, as long as His Highness keeps them tight, even if they lose their lives, they will not tell the truth, the minister wants to hear His Highness personally tell the minister, who is that distinguished guest, and where is he?"

"I'll say it again, there's no guest you're looking for here!" Jiang Rong's expression was solemn, and his tone became heavier.

"Your Highness is really stubborn, if the minister is not sure, how can he make such a joke with His Highness." Wei Guogong raised his hand and pointed to the guards next to the hall, his voice was cold, and he said in a tone that was almost angry, "Since their knives have been unsheathed, the minister must see Mei Xiaoren today!" ”

Jiang Rong was annoyed, stood up and pointed at Wei Guogong and scolded: "Don't say that the villain is not here, even if she is, I will not hand her over to you." He sneered again, "Don't think I don't know that you want to use her to blackmail Gu Chuyu, Gu Chuyu is a hundred times smarter than you, I have long expected that you will attack the villain, and send the villain away from Shangjing early in the morning, you died of this heart as soon as possible!" ”

"Your Highness means that Mei Xiaoren is not in Shangjing, let alone His Highness?"

"Of course!" Ei deserves to be decisive.

The anger on Wei Guogong's face seemed to have dissipated, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he raised his hand silently, and suddenly put it down.

He raised his hands and fell, and the guard standing at the head of the row nodded, drew the knife in his hand, and wiped the neck of the little eunuch.

The little eunuch fell to the ground before he could even say a word, and blood gushed from his neck like a spring......
