Nian Yun and Li Chun, who finally walked out of the warm pavilion of the Cheng'en Palace, walked slowly and walked side by side.

Li Chun's face was covered with dark clouds, and the mountain rain was coming. Nian Yun was a little apprehensive in his heart, knowing that she was dissatisfied with the fact that she took the risk to see the saint, so she tentatively called him: "Chun ......"

Li Chun didn't appreciate it at all, and there was still anger in his eyes: "The tone you let out is very good, I won't stop you if you do something icing on the cake, but I don't need you to send charcoal in the snow!" ”

It's rare for him to lose such a temper, but she can't explain it.

"I ......"

He stared at her with red eyes: "Nianyun, I'm not at that point yet, and I'm not enough to ask my woman to take risks for me!" ”

She was silent.

He wanted to protect her in his arms and turn her into a weak delicate flower, she was unwilling, no woman was unwilling to hide in the world that her man held up for her without heart and lungs.

But he may not understand at this moment, just like his grandfather and father, the palace can't afford to raise a weak delicate flower at all.

If the situation is a little stable, Li Chun must be canonized as the crown prince. Nian Yun secretly thought in her heart that at that time, she could use her own reputation for many years to win the hearts of the people for the new emperor and the new prince. In fact, the common people don't care who sits on the throne, they only care about whether they live well, whether they can be fed and clothed, and whether taxes and forced labor are heavy.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and walked all the way through the chaotic jade, unhurried. Nian Yun was surprised that he still had such idle time at this juncture. The two walked, but instead of going back to the Yiqiu Palace where she usually lived, they continued to walk forward, and they were about to reach the Xichi Courtyard.

Nian Yun was a little surprised, seeing that his face was not safe, he didn't dare to ask more. After walking dozens of steps, Ai Ai said, "I...... I still have something to do, so I'll go back to Yiqiu Palace first. ”

Li Chun didn't answer, but suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist and pulled her away. Nian Yun was grabbed by him and his wrist hurt, and he stumbled in the snow.

Li Chun stopped slightly, she stood firm, and he pulled her forward again. I had no choice but to follow him.

Xiikeyuan was originally allocated to him to live in the side room after Li Chun became a family, but there have not been many newcomers over the years, so Xiikeyuan has always been empty, although it will be cleaned every month, but after all, it is in disrepair, and it looks dilapidated and old.

When he arrived at the West Pond Courtyard, he did not enter the main hall, but only turned into a small remote and uninhabited courtyard in the West Pond Courtyard, and walked into an empty room with only a clean couch.

She remembered that only the main hall of the West Pond Courtyard was cleaned, and there was no room for people to live in. The room was covered with clean bedding and neatly tied, apparently prepared in advance.

Nian Yun thought he was waiting for someone, but he saw him looking at her with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth. She looked around and suddenly realized, "What are you doing here?" ”

Li Chun didn't answer, and at this time, five or six maids suddenly came out, standing left and right, and posing as if she had been held hostage. Nian Yun was stunned, but she didn't expect Li Chun to detain her at such a time. This is a decisive battle between him and Yi, does he distrust her, does he have to exclude her?

"Take care of Madame. If Madame leaves without permission, or if something goes wrong, none of you will be able to save your heads! ”

Nianyun knew that this was for her. But she didn't know why, she stared at Li Chun, and suddenly a wave of grievances came up in her heart, and tears fell: "Li Chun, do you dislike me so much to fight side by side with you?" ”

Li Chun took a step forward and looked at her with a cold face: "Women are too soft-hearted, I'm afraid that you will be emotional." It doesn't matter, you rest here for a few days, and when I finish the matter, I'll pick you up right away. ”

"Chun, I'm ......"

"Someone will bring you three meals a day, eat them on time."

Nian Yun sneered: "Chun, you don't trust me!" ”

Li Chun shook his head and didn't answer her words: "I arranged tasks for pothos and fennel for them, and now they are following your Guo San." Qixi is now in the barracks of the Shence Army, and he won't be able to come back for a while. The rest of the people here, although I don't know what kind of punishment there will be for offending my wife, but if you don't obey my orders, you will die. ”

He looked around, and several of the maids bowed their heads in fear.

Nianyun was speechless and sat on the couch angrily. He sighed: "Nianyun, just stay here for a few days, if you are bored, I will ask someone to fetch some books for you." ”

He turned and walked out. When he walked to the door, he seemed to remember something again, and said to the subordinates: "I will deliver the news in three days." If I haven't sent someone at dusk three days later, you will escort Madame to Princess Huiping's mansion overnight. ”

These few words hit Nian Yun's heart hard. For a while, it was like a thousand arrows, and suddenly understood what Li Chun meant. He didn't want to prevent her from ruining his plans with emotion, but he was ready for the bloody storm!

There was no bloodshed and no dead in the palace coups of all dynasties, so he placed her in a safe place to protect her, and did not let her face these things in person. Or maybe he felt that even he might not be able to protect her well, so he ......

"Li Chun—"

There was a sudden feeling of attachment in her heart, and she wanted to rush out and hug his back. But several of the maids in the house came up together and hugged her firmly. The strength of several maids was surprisingly great, and he must have carefully selected them, not only to serve her during these few days, but also to protect her at critical moments.

Li Chun didn't look back, and left Xichi Courtyard quickly. The maids withdrew, and the door was locked from the outside.

Nian Yun paced back and forth in the simplely arranged hut for a few steps, and even reached out to push the window, and found that although the West Pond Courtyard was in disrepair, the doors and windows were very strong, and it was definitely very difficult for a weak woman like her to escape directly.

But, is she just waiting here for his success or failure, and there is no way at all?

No, she can't.

If he fails, she will be a family member of the guilty and will not be pardoned for not participating in the operation.

If he succeeds, she will stand by his side as the crown princess, she should not be in vain, she should be the one who accepts the pilgrimage side by side with him!

She was the one who had been in charge of the East Palace for many years, and he thought that this would really be able to keep her in this way? He also underestimated her too much!

Nian Yun knocked lightly on the window, and a tall maid walked over: "Mrs. County? ”

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is the palace concubine or the prince, even the emperor himself, he cannot kill the palace slaves and maids at will. Although there are some unjust souls in the palace who die unexplained from time to time, it takes a lot of energy to cover them up.

There were five or six people guarding her here, and Li Chun had indeed given the order to die, but most of it was intimidation, so she didn't believe that he still had the energy to deal with the matter of five or six people dying at once. As a county king, it is not a small crime to kill five or six slaves and maids at will.

Besides, she is the one in charge of the East Palace, and it is not so easy to clean up the people she wants to protect at will in her hands.

She looked at the maid, "If you don't take a good look at me, what kind of punishment will it be?" ”

The maid trembled: "The county lady still spares the slave maid, and the slave's brother is the personal guard of the East Palace......"

Nian Yun raised his eyebrows: "Are the other people also being coerced like this?" ”

The maid nodded, "Yes......"

The so-called county officials are not as good as being in charge, and Li Chun must also know that sending a few maids at random can't look down on him, a lady who has been in charge of affairs for many years, so he didn't bother less.

Nian Yun asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Slave Angelica."

Nianyun said: "Even so, Bai Zhi, I won't embarrass you, the king of the county only said that he wanted you to watch me, but he didn't say that I was not allowed to see people?" I'm sorry for you to go and talk to Liangdi, I have something important to tell her, be sure to bring her over. ”

"This ......" Bai Zhi hesitated, although the king of the county did not order, but if Liangdi knew, when the time came, if the prince and Liangdi ordered them to release them, what should they do?

Nian Yun looked at her for a moment and smiled slightly: "Bai Zhi, you see that Mrs. Ben has not fallen out of favor, has she?" As long as Mrs. Ben is safe and sound, she can naturally keep you safe and sound. Don't worry, Mrs. Ben won't ask you to do things for me in vain, and you can get double your monthly income from today. ”

Bai Zhi lowered her head and pondered for a moment, anyway, they really didn't look at Mrs. Lost County, but they passed on a sentence - okay, for the sake of double the monthly salary.

Bai Zhi had only been gone for a stick of incense, and Wang Liangdi had already come to Xichi Courtyard in person.

These days, the prince's life is not good, and he is sick, but Wang Liangdi's complexion looks much better, and her complexion is more ruddy than before.

Nian Yun naturally knew the truth, and through the window, his eyes were clear, "Liangdi, how are you doing lately?" ”

Wang Liangdi smiled slightly: "Tolai, it's okay." Nianyun, this is Chun'er's decision, are you ready to ask me to help you for any reason? ”

Nianyun said lightly: "Nianyun naturally didn't think that Liangdi was just passing by this remote and barren Xichi Courtyard for nothing, Liangdi mentioned Nianyun at the beginning, and asked Nianyun to marry into the East Palace, wasn't it to find an opportunity to know my brother for Chang'er?" ”

Donggong's insistence on marrying the daughter of the Guo family is naturally for the prestige of Ziyi Gong and the support of the princess's mansion, and now Chang'er is sharing weal and woe in the Guo family, and Chun'er's bastard boy protects Nianyun? What a reason!

They are all on the same road now, and with a man who is both prosperous and lossy, how can the daughter of the Guo family stay out of the matter, Wang Liangdi naturally doesn't mind being a favor, and asked, "What are your plans?" ”

Nianyun said: "Presumably Liangdi is not worried about Chang'er, why don't you order Chang'er to come back to explore His Highness's illness, what's the matter?" ”

Wang Liangdi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
