The wind and rain are coming, and the people are panicking.

Shen Xinan searched for a long time in the mansion but didn't find Zhou's mother and Cuihuan, so he could only go to decoction in person, fortunately, it was not a difficult thing, in previous years, when he was not the son of the Hou Mansion, he also did rough work.

It's just that the medicine hasn't been fried yet, and Zhou's mother rushed to Xiyue's yard in a hurry, "Childe, childe, something happened!" ”

Mother Zhou rushed in and didn't see Shen Xinan, only Xiyue was dressed and sitting on the stool, she was happy at first, "Wake up, God bless!" You're finally awake. ”

She wept with joy, clasped her hands together and chattered.

Mother Zhou has always been a steady person, and rarely when she is panicked, Xiyue was a little puzzled, so she asked, "Mother Zhou, what's the alarm?" ”

With this reminder, Zhou's mother finally woke up, she put her hands down, and got anxious again, "Girl, where did the son go?" ”

"Mother Zhou, you can tell me anything about it, my brother is out." Xiyue knew that she was too young, and Zhou's mother definitely didn't want to tell herself, so she could only tell a little lie.

As soon as Zhou's mother heard that Shen Xinan had gone out, her face turned white in an instant, and she was so anxious, "How can this be good, Madame is not here, Master Hou is not here, even the son is not here, what can I do!" ”

"Mother Zhou, you can tell me what happened?"

Xiyue's expression was extremely calm, and the eyes that should have been ignorant and immature were full of wisdom that did not belong to this age at this moment, and even had a faint coldness, and a little uninhibited, like a stubborn and transparent after the ups and downs of the world.

Mother Zhou was stunned, she suddenly had a feeling that she was not as good as the eldest girl.

And there is an inexplicable sense of surrender in my heart.

Unconsciously, she opened her mouth and said: "A large number of officers and soldiers came, saying that they wanted to arrest people, and when it came to Mrs. Qi, they should arrest her, and the slaves and maids didn't know what to do, whether to let people in or stop outside." ”

Mrs. Qi is the wife of Kong Shen, the general of Anyuan, and a few days ago she lived in the Hou Mansion in order to beg Shen Qingtai to save Kong Shen.

Xiyue stood up and asked as she walked out, "Are you at the door?" ”

"Yes, those officers and soldiers still gave face to the Hou Mansion, they didn't break in, let the son go out and give a word, the slave and maid look at what it means, if you don't allow it, you will still break in." Mother Zhou saw that the girl was so calm, and every word she said had the momentum of Lord Hou and Mrs., and the panic in her heart gradually subsided.

Xiyue walked slowly, and just woke up, and after not walking far, he was out of breath, sweating on his forehead, back and palms, and his little face was also showing an unhealthy flush.

But even so, she gritted her teeth and persevered, only slowing down a little.

Mother Zhou encountered a major event for the first time when the officers and soldiers came to take people, and she was so frightened that she forgot to hug the young master who walked in front of her.

The officers and soldiers outside the door who were in charge of taking people waited for a long time, and some of them were tired of waiting, and the annoyed person proposed, "Your Highness, it is better to break in and take people directly, but we will act according to orders." ”

"yes, just wait, when? What if the Marquis of Xinyong's Mansion covers up and deliberately doesn't come out? ”

"Your Highness, rush?"

"Your Highness, what are you waiting for? If you can't get the blame from the emperor, you will be punished! ”

"Shut up, this is the Marquis of Xinyong's mansion, Jianwei's general merit is in Sheji, don't be rude, although others are not in the mansion, we still have to keep a heart of awe." The calm voice heard in Xiyue's ears, and these words seemed to have a special magic power, soothing her uneasiness.

She pushed open the door with a pair of small short hands, and the crown prince Zhao Tai, who was standing in the first place, came into view.

Zhao Tai is the most proud son of Emperor Hongzhao, not to mention the fact that he has received systematic imperial education, his appearance also gathers all the advantages passed down from the ancestors of the old Zhao family.

is a high-spirited age, but there is no youth and frivolity, and some are more mature and stable and wise than their peers.

Angular facial features, deep black eyes, and a tall nose bridge are elegant and noble.

It is said that three generations of wealth can raise nobles, but the prince is like a natural king.

It is as if the gods of heaven descend to the mortal world to purify the compassion of all beings, and there is a kind of domineering and arrogant strength of heaven and earth, these two complex temperaments are mixed in him, miraculously coexisting, shrouding his majestic but not rude body, which is not forgettable.

"Courtiers see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xiyue stepped forward and bowed.

Mother Zhou was stunned and stunned for a moment before kneeling down.

"Xixi, where's your brother?" The prince personally helped Xiyue up, "Are you feeling better?" ”

Xiyue got up, and when she heard this, she bowed her knees and thanked her, "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, the courtiers are much better, my brother doesn't know where at the moment, is Your Highness here to get people?" ”

She looked up and looked at the prince with sparkling eyes.

The prince was worried that he would scare her, so he turned around and instructed his subordinates not to scare people, and then nodded to Xiyue, "Xiao Xixi, don't be afraid, just go and catch a few people from other people's families who have committed crimes." ”

"Your Highness." The general beside the crown prince lowered his voice and asked, "Marquis Xinyong and his wife are both in the palace, and they can't find Shen Gongzi, shall we still go in?" ”

"Wait." The prince only replied with one word, and this one word made Xiyue's heart sour, and her eyes turned red.

Not breaking through the door is a kind of respect.

There are already rumors outside that the Marquis of Xinyong's Mansion is about to fall, and even the well-trained girls are afraid of being implicated and run away, but the prince is still risking being scolded at the moment to respect the Hou Mansion.

He's the crown prince, so he can't go anywhere.

Especially a sparsely populated mansion like the Marquis of Xinyong's Mansion.

When the words fell, Xiyue spoke, her milky voice, very slight, but extremely clear.

"Your Royal Highness, my father and mother taught my courtiers to be law-abiding, loyal and trustworthy, since you are a prisoner, go in, Mother Zhou, you will personally bring Your Highness over." Xiyue said and made a gesture of please.

The prince was stunned for a moment, he was stunned by Xiyue's little adult-like style, his expression was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and touched Xiyue's head, "Xiao Xixi is really sensible, when you get better, you often go to the East Palace to play with the county lord." ”

"Yes." Xiyue obediently avoided to the side and let the prince's people in.

The prince's broad hand stretched out, took Xiyue's small hand, and then turned back and told the people he brought, "Don't clash with the people of the Hou Mansion, don't destroy a single grass or tree in the Hou Mansion, don't walk around in the Hou Mansion, and don't look at your eyes, follow this mother closely." ”

"Yes!" The officers and soldiers are just in a hurry, not those who have no quality.

Especially the several henchmen around the prince, not only did they control the soldiers very well, but they were also very fast, and all the people who came to the door to beg Shen Qingtai were all arrested.

Listening to Zhou's mother's report, the wing room was empty, Xiyue was still a little surprised, she thought that it was only the Qi family who was arrested, but she didn't think it was the family members of all the people involved.

Shen Xinan heard the movement and ran from the kitchen, and when he arrived at the door, the Qi family was struggling to sprinkle, and when he saw him, he scolded, "You Shen family is ungrateful!" Pull the ladder up behind you! It's not a thing! ”

"Back then, listening to his Shen Qingtai's words, my general switched to His Majesty, and now that the world has beaten us, he wants to kick us away! You will be punished! ”

There are also people who have different rhetoric from the Qi family, crying and crying, struggling to kneel at Shen Xinan's feet, grabbing his robe and crying hysterically, "Brother, aunt please, please go into the palace and talk to your father and mother, save my son, my son was really wronged, I had three sons, and two were killed in battle, and now there is only such a lone seedling left, the general can't look at our family!" ”

Shen Xinan looked at the person who begged him, it was a mother with gray temples, in order to save her son, she was exhausted and desperate, he couldn't bear it, but he couldn't give any promises.

The prince ordered someone to pull away the person who was pestering Shen Xinan, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him a reassuring smile, "Take good care of your sister, everything will pass." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Shen Xi nodded and smiled gratefully.

The prince and the people quickly disappeared at the gate of the Hou Mansion, Shen Xinan took his sister's hand, stood in front of the mansion for a long time, and secretly swore that he would not be the bastard who affected his family in the future.

"Brother, I want to go to the Yan family and wait for General Yan, can you take me there?" Xiyue looked up and looked at her brother hopefully.
