It wasn't until she fell asleep that Ah Jin withdrew from her room. Chu Jian was standing by the door with his sleeves folded, and when he saw her come out, he hurriedly followed her, "Senior sister, are the lady and the maid going to spend the night at the Yunlai Inn?" ”

"Well, take good care of them for me." Ah Jin nodded, reached out and put the hood on.

The two walked silently for a while, and when they first met, they suddenly asked, "Senior sister...... I still want to ask you something. ”

"You say." Ah Jin didn't look back at him, but unconsciously slowed down.

“…… Ah Jiu she ...... Is it already submissive to King Run? Chujian didn't use the word defection to describe Ah Jiu's current situation, and subtly and euphemistically changed the word. For the first sight, Tsutenkaku is not only the place where he lives, but also his hometown, and Ruri and Ah Jin are his relatives.

The beloved girl betrayed his hometown and relatives, such a thing he would never have dared to think of before. Now that the facts are in front of him, he subconsciously wants to escape.

Chujian clenched his hands, and under Ah Jin's gaze, he only felt ashamed of himself. He was so cowardly that he was ashamed of himself.

"Where did you hear about these things?" Ah Jin didn't answer him, she was more concerned about where the news came from.

Chu Jian smiled slightly, the smile was more ugly than crying, "I didn't hold back, or I went to inquire without permission." ”

With his words, Ah Jin knew that there was no need to ask anymore, she looked at her first time helplessly, and was really distressed, "Why don't you bother looking for it." So, you've already found out where she lives now? ”

Hatsumi nodded, "It's in the Nameless Villa." ”

"Sure enough......" Ah Jin muttered, turning and walking forward.

When he first saw her lonely back, his heart was inexplicably cold, and he hurriedly chased after her and asked cautiously, "Senior sister, do you have any plans to go to the Nameless Mountain Villa to explore?" ”

"Not really. I guess they're hoping that someone from Tsutenkaku will come over, so that any dirty water will be poured on Tsutenkaku. That person will never refuse something that kills multiple birds with one stone. ”

At first sight, I vaguely guessed that the person in Ah Jin's mouth should be the King Run, "But the Nameless Villa and the Green Willow Villa are not far away, I'm just afraid of ......"

"If they know, they will know, just like we already know their movements, but we will not act rashly, everyone is a smart person, and they will not mess around until the moment of life and death," Speaking of this, Ah Jin also specially instructed Chu Jian to say a few words, "You'd better not act rashly, lest you harm your own life, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"I see." Chu Xiang was stunned for a moment, a trace of panic flashed on his face, and he hurriedly bowed to Ah Jin.

Ah Jin saw his reaction, didn't say anything, and went straight to the carriage. Ah Zhen followed Ah Jin into the carriage, and when she saw that Ah Jin didn't speak, she didn't dare to speak, and the silence of the two along the way almost suffocated her.

Seeing that she was about to arrive at the Song Mansion, Ah Zhen asked in a low voice, "Girl, what ......is the matter with that lady?"

"When I return to the Song Mansion later, don't reveal a word about that lady." Before she could finish asking, Ah Jin replied to her.

Ah Zhen nodded, indicating that she knew what to do. As soon as the master and servant got out of the carriage, they saw Huairen standing by the door waiting. Ah Jin was stunned for a moment, walked up to Huairen and said, "Your son-in-law asked you to wait here?" ”

Huairen saluted respectfully to Ah Jin and said, "Madame just left a letter and hurried out. The son came back very early today, and he didn't see the lady come back until now, so he ordered the little one to wait here. ”

I really can't hide anything from him.

Ah Jin thought to himself, lifted his skirt and followed Huairen to the east wing. The night in the Song Mansion was very quiet, and there was occasionally the sound of chirping insects, and along the way, Ah Jin's nerves, which were already a little tense, unconsciously relaxed. When she walked into the room, she was a little sleepy.

Song Wenyu was obviously relieved to see her come in with a discounted yawn, "It's almost time to come back, I thought I would wait for another half an hour, if you didn't show up, I would go out to look for you." ”

"What's the fuss, isn't this coming back," Ah Jin thought that Song Wenyu would ask her where she went, but he didn't ask a word, which made her feel unsure, "Listen to Huairen, you came back early today?" ”

"Well, after going down to the court, I went to the yamen for a while, and I came back when it was time to go home." Song Wenyu casually answered her words and sat in the outhouse, waiting for Ah Jin to come out from behind the screen.

"Since you're not busy these days, just go out with me to eat a few more restaurants," Ah Jin changed into a scarlet dress, sat in Song Wenyu's arms, and looked at him with his arms around his neck, "Okay?" ”

Song Wenyu stretched out a hand to support her waist and stared at her for a long time before saying, "What interesting things happened today?" ”

"Nothing interesting." Ah Jin shook his head with a smile, and with a roll of his eyes, he saw that the post sent by Baoqin earlier was placed on the soft collapse, and it was not in the original position. It seems that Song Wenyu has flipped through the obscure post.

Ah Jin turned his head to look at Song Wenyu, and took the initiative to admit it, "It's just that I thought of a way to solve the problem, and I was happy." ”

"Oh, what's the problem? What's the idea? Tell me about it? Song Wenyu stretched out his hand and pulled Ah Jin's tender fingers, gently played with her fingertips, and accompanied her to play dumb riddles.

"That's not going to be true." Ah Jin said, withdrew his hand, and immediately stood up and walked aside, Song Wenyu didn't stop her, just looked at her pretty figure, faintly worried.

"It's okay if you can't, just don't put yourself in danger. It's not a good way to fold yourself in. Song Wenyu said meaningfully.

Ah Jin pulled the hairpin out of his bun and let himself take off the green silk. She turned her head, tilted her head to look at Song Wenyu, nodded gently and delicately, and continued to pick up the comb and comb her hair a little smoother.

……

Early the next morning, an invitation from Lan Yinji was handed to the Liang Wangfu, and at the same time, Xiao Li, the king of Jing, and Xiao Yao, the king of Yu, also received the posts. The three of them gathered in King Liang's mansion and looked at the three posts and looked at each other.

"Big brother, shall we go or not?" Xiao Li and Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Yi at the same time, hoping that he could come up with an idea.

Xiao Yi sat in the center, with his arm on his chest, looking at the three invitations on the table, and was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he stood up, walked slowly to the door with his hands in his hands and stopped, "Go, naturally I want to go." Didn't Lao Qi say it before, did he just want me to make friends with the master behind this Lan Yin Ji? ”

Xiao Yao heard Xiao Yi teasing himself, and his face was a little embarrassed, "Big brother, when is it, and you are still making fun of me." ”

Xiao Yi turned his head to look at his two younger brothers with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I'm not kidding, let's go to the appointment together tonight." It's just to have a meal, and it won't discourage this king. ”

With that, he sat back down in his original position, picked up a cup of tea, and savored it.

At night, the lights are on, and the market is bustling. Xiao Yat and the three of them came to Lan Yin Kee's private room and sat down as promised, but the person they expected did not come. Until this sumptuous dinner had been eaten, I didn't see the man.

Xiao Yao looked at the two brothers with some surprise, very puzzled, "So, this is an ordinary tasting banquet?" As the post says? ”

Xiao Li and Xiao Yi didn't speak, but they also had the same question in their hearts. At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and two servants walked in and quickly cleaned up the scraps, and brought some melons and fruits and snacks and put them on the clean table.

As soon as the servants withdrew, Ah Jin appeared at the door of the room alone, and walked into the room generously under the surprised eyes of the three people, and closed the door, "The three princes are fine." ”

Ah Jin saluted the three of them, then walked straight to the table and sat down opposite them, "Three princes, are you still satisfied with Lan Yinji's dishes?" ”

Xiao Li glanced at Xiao Yi and saw that he didn't mean to speak at all, so he looked at Ah Jin and said, "I'm very satisfied, Mrs. Lao has bothered." ”

"Where is the bother, if you can win the appreciation of the three of you, it is a blessing for this small restaurant opened by the concubine," Ah Jin said, and skillfully brewed the tea, and filled three small purple sand teacups, "Come, this is the tea that people in southern Xinjiang often drink, sweet and greasy, please taste it." ”

With that, she picked up the teacup that was in front of her, drank it all, and filled the empty cup again. Through the smoky vapor, Xiao Yat's sharp eyes looked directly at her, but she did not dodge.

This calm appearance made the three of them look at her again.

"Mrs. Song specially invited the three of us to come over, but it is a pity that she did not taste this delicacy with us."

Ah Jin raised his head and looked at Xiao Yao with an evil smile on his lips. I thought to myself, this old seventh, in some places, really looks like the perverse Xiao Duo. Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked upward, and she said: "The concubine is originally an official dependent, a married woman, and in the absence of her son, she eats at the same table with a man, after all, she has no dignity." But the three of them are always my honored guests of Lan Yin Ji, and the concubine, as the owner, should come and sit with her for a while. So, I'm going to take a sip of tea. ”

Xiao Yao's offensive words were pushed back by her neither soft nor hard, Xiao Yao grinded his teeth, and wanted to say a few more words, but Xiao Yi, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke up at this time, "Third child, you take the seventh child out and wait for a while." ”

"Yes." When Xiao Li heard this, he immediately got up and was about to take Xiao Yao out, but Xiao Yao was a little reluctant.

The woman sitting in front of them was still smiling like a flower at this time, beautiful and beautiful, but it was terrifying to look at, he really didn't worry about letting her be alone with the eldest brother.

Ah Jin lifted his eyelids and looked at him funny, and said with a smile: "Lord Yu, is this afraid that the concubine will eat Lord Liang?" ”

Xiao Yao's face flushed, he felt that he was being molested, and he wanted to talk back, but before the words could be spoken, he was pulled out of the door by Xiao Li. Ah Jin laughed lightly, turned his head to look at Xiao Yi, and saw him looking at him with a serious face, and suddenly felt bored.

"It's just me and you now. Mrs. Song, everyone understands the truth of going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Please also be explicit. ”

"King Liang is really refreshing. In this case, the concubine will not go around in circles with the prince," said Ah Jin, who took off the iron teapot placed on the clay stove and made another cup of tea for Xiao Yi, and then said: "There is a lady who wants to see her husband." Please also ask King Liang to complete. ”

Xiao Yi's eyebrows jumped, and he had already guessed the answer in his heart, but he still asked knowingly, "Who is the person you are talking about." ”

"Right now, who is the only one locked up in Dali Temple?" Ah Jin put the teapot on the fire again, and then looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Lord, we just said that we want to get straight to the point." Why did you start sloppy again? ”

"You should know that no one is allowed to visit the people who are being held in the Dali Temple without the permission of the saints."

"Really?" Ah Jin smiled, "In that case, the concubine doesn't understand, could it be that His Royal Highness King Liang visited Dali Temple late at night that night with the will of the saint?" ”

Xiao Yi listened to her words, stared at her coldly, and said after a while: "Where did Mrs. Song inquire about the news, hearsay, you can't talk nonsense." ”

"Lord, the concubine is not a person in the palace, and she is not interested in these open and secret battles, and what the concubine said, the prince should not take it to heart. This cup of tea should be used as a concubine to make amends," After that, Ah Jin picked up the teacup at hand again, blew the tea to cool it a little, and drank it slowly, "It's just that the concubine's friend wants to see her husband no matter what, and ...... She is now pregnant with Liujia, and if she refuses, the concubine really can't speak, so she thinks about it, so she comes to the prince for help. ”

"Rokka?" The news revealed by Ah Jin was really unexpected by Xiao Yi, and he looked at Ah Jin's eyes, trying to see from her eyes whether what she said was true or false.

"Yes, Rokka. For the sake of her safety in the past few days, the concubine has been taking care of her carefully and does not dare to let her go home. It's just that whether she lives or dies in the future depends on the meaning of the prince. From today on, the concubine will no longer care about her life or death, and if she continues to care, I am afraid that she will affect the concubine's husband's family. ”

After Ah Jin said this, he stood up, saluted Xiao Yi, and turned around to walk out. Xiao Yi still sat in place, motionless, and didn't even look at her, "Mrs. Song, you are gambling." ”

"Before the concubine came, she had already explained to the lady, and since she came to beg me, she was gambling with her life. Since she is willing to gamble, she should naturally know the truth of being willing to gamble and lose. Ah Jin said decisively, which made Xiao Yi couldn't help frowning.

This woman is really unguessable, she seems to be compassionate, but she is decisive. When it was time to leave, there was not even the slightest hesitation. Ah Jin stood by the door for a while, and when he saw that Xiao Yi was silent, he pushed the door open and stepped over the threshold, "Please also ask the prince to stay here for a while, and the concubine will let the lady come." After that, it was up to the prince whether he wanted to send his wife back to her home or fulfill her wishes. ”

When Xiao Yi heard this, he couldn't help but look at Ah Jin, but he only had time to see her resolute back disappear behind the door.

As soon as Ah Jin left, Xiao Li and Xiao Yao hurriedly entered the door, "Big brother, what did the woman say to you?" ”

Xiao Yi glanced at Xiao Yao, then looked at Xiao Li and said, "She will send Baoqin later, it is the favorite concubine next to the fifth brother." ”

"What? What is she going to do? Xiao Yao's eyes widened, and he couldn't figure out the situation in front of him.

Xiao Li pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Big brother, it's this favorite concubine who wants to see Xiao Duo, right?" ”

Xiao Yi nodded and didn't say anything. Seeing this, Xiao Yao immediately jumped up, "This mother-in-law is throwing a hot potato to us!" No way! We've got to get out of here, and if she really sends someone later, we'll not be able to get out!" ”

Before Xiao Yao finished speaking, the person had already walked to the door, but he was the only one who walked to the door.

"Big brother," Xiao Li looked at Xiao Yi thoughtfully, "Why are you so hesitant?" ”

"She is not necessarily a hot potato, maybe she will become our hole card," Xiao Yi said, looked at Xiao Li and said: "Mrs. Song said that Baoqin is pregnant, I guess, Xiao Duo must not know about this yet." ”

"What do you think...... Will the fifth child defect because of this woman? Xiao Li immediately understood Xiao Yi's thoughts, but he still didn't believe it, "In my brother's opinion, it may not be as the eldest brother wishes." At that time, what should the eldest brother do? ”

Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, "Let's see when the time comes." ”

Xiao Li listened to his words, and knew that Xiao Yi already had an idea, and no one could persuade him. He sighed and shook his head helplessly.

……

After running errands in the evening, Ah Jin returned to the Song Mansion early. Unexpectedly, Song Wenyu returned earlier than him.

"Today's dinner, you used it in the Song Mansion again?" Ah Jin looked at him with some surprise.

Song Wenyu nodded and beckoned to Ah Jin, "I had dinner with my grandmother, and I listened to my mother talk about Wenyuan's engagement by the way." They asked you where you went today, and I said that you went to the Yunlai Inn, and when they asked about it, you should not show your feet. ”

"Got it," Ah Jin lay in his arms with his eyes closed, and suddenly opened his eyes and glared at him, "Are you lying to me?" ”

Song Wenyu looked at her with a smile, did not deny it, and did not ask where she went. Ah Jin stretched out his hands to hook his neck and said, "Aren't you curious, where did I go?" ”

"I guess you should have gone to Lanyin. It's your inheritance, and it's all people you can trust. If you're looking for a hidden place to meet and talk about things, there's no better place to do it. ”

"Then guess who I went to see?" Ah Jin adjusted his position on his back and asked again.

Song Wenyu's gaze fell to the side, and only returned to her after a while, "I guess, you should have gone to see someone who can protect Baoqin and take her to see Xiao Duo......"

Song Wenyu didn't say who that person was, the words had already been said about this, and Ah Jin knew that he had already guessed eight or nine. She sat up and looked at Song Wenyu with appreciation, "You are worthy of being the first Jinke champion, and I can't hide anything from you." ”

"You don't want to hide it from me. If you really want to hide it from me, you can destroy the letter of worship written on the piano score, and prevent me from seeing it. ”

"Do you understand what's written on it?" Ah Jin asked with some curiosity.

"No," Song Wenyu shook his head, "but there aren't many people you know in the royal capital, and the only one who can communicate with you in this way is the lady who holds the qin." When she comes to you at this time, she doesn't come to drink tea and chat. ”

Ah Jin listened to Song Wenyu's words, and lay down in Song Wenyu's arms again, with a little sadness in his eyes, "Huqin was pregnant with Xiao Duo's child, and when she told me that she was pregnant, I knew that I couldn't sit idly by and ignore her." I always feel like I have to find some way to help her......"

Song Wenyu gently stroked her bun, without the slightest intention of blaming her, "If she is really pregnant, without King Qing's care in the future, she and her child will be in danger." ”

Ah Jin closed his eyes and did not speak. There have been too many quiet days, and she has become a little timid about these bloody and bloody winds, and her heart has begun to soften.

……

Xiao Yi secretly took Baoqin back to the Liang Palace's mansion for a few days, and then took it to the cell of Dali Temple.

Xiao Duo, who had lived in the dungeon of Dali Temple for more than six days, didn't look embarrassed, but his blue-white clothes were a little dirty, and he didn't have the same straightness as before.

Xiao Duo was sitting in a daze in the cell, when he heard footsteps coming from far and near, and finally stopped in front of his cell door, with an evil smile on his face, "Is the eldest brother very idle, it's just a few days, so I came to visit the younger brother again." ”

"It is not me who has come to see you today, but someone has come to my door and begged me to let her see you."

When Xiao Duo heard this, it was as if he had heard a big joke, he looked up at the roof of the black hole, "Why is the eldest brother joking now?" Who would want to come to Dali Temple to see me? Probably because I was afraid to avoid it. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Baoqin walked out from behind Xiao Yi, "Lord Wang......"

Her voice was as graceful as a yellow warbler out of the valley, and suddenly hearing such a heavenly sound in this gloomy place made Xiao Duo stunned. He slowly turned his head and stared at Baoqin standing at the door, with some doubts in his eyes, and after a while, these doubts turned into indifference and forbearance anger.

"Lord Wang......" Xu Shi felt the change in his mood, Baoqin only felt bitter in her heart, she tightly clutched the cloak on her body, and called Xiao Duo again as if begging for mercy.

"The two of you are chatting for a long time, and there is only a quarter of an hour, and the king is waiting outside the door," King Liang saw this and left at the right time.

It wasn't until he could no longer hear his footsteps that Xiao Duo spoke, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Lord Wang, the slave family wants to come and see you...... Look at you here, are you okay......" Baoqin walked to the iron railing of the cell, squatted down slowly, and grabbed the cold railing with both hands, "Lord Wang, the slave family originally wanted to bring some snacks and a change of clothes, but the time was in a hurry, and the slave family ......"

"You're here to be a lobbyist, aren't you?" Xiao Duo sneered, interrupting her incoherent words, "I really underestimated you, I thought you were a dog released by the fourth child, but I didn't expect to follow the boss?" ”

"Lord Wang......" Baoqin finally couldn't help crying when he heard him say this, "Lord Wang, Baoqin has never betrayed you, never!" ”

"Now, there's no point in what you say," the smile on Xiao Duo's face faded, "You go, I don't want to see you." ”

Huqin pursed his lips and gently put his hand on his lower abdomen, "Lord Wang...... Hug the qin, I just want to tell the prince one thing. Baoqin is pregnant, and the child is ...... The child has been more than a month old, this is the flesh and blood of the prince and the slave, no matter what, the slave will definitely protect him......"

Xiao Duo was stunned for a moment, and looked at Baoqin again, "What did you say?" ”

Huqin knelt on the ground, with two lines of tears on his face, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "It's been more than a month since I conceived the flesh and blood of the prince." ”

Xiao Duo stared at where her hand was placed, his eyes full of disbelief. After a while, he suddenly laughed, "Hehe, King Liang is really calculating, really calculating!" ”

Baoqin didn't understand why Xiao Duo said this, and was disappointed, but just sad. She saluted respectfully to Xiao Duo, and then stood up and said, "Lord Wang, what should be said, the slave family has finished speaking." A quarter of an hour was up, and the slave family said goodbye. ”

With that, she turned and walked towards the exit.

"Wait!" Xiao Duo suddenly spoke, still hesitating between his words, "When you go out, ask King Liang to come in." ”

Baoqin's footsteps paused, but he didn't answer him.

Soon after she left, King Liang really came in, "Are you looking for me?" ”

Xiao Duo raised his head and looked at his majestic appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little ironic, "Others often say that the eldest prince, King Liang, is the most upright, heroic and upright...... If they found out that you were using a woman as a lobbyist, they don't know how they would feel. ”

"This king has never wanted to take advantage of anyone. She begged to come to the king's door, and the king saw that she was a weak woman and pregnant with your child, so he thought about helping her......" Xiao Yi said, and glanced at Xiao Duo deeply, "This is the only thing this king can do." ”

Xiao Duo's fingers trembled slightly, but he tried his best to suppress the trace of fear that crossed his heart. He understood what Xiao Yi meant when he said this, how could he not understand their style of doing things by the side of the crown prince and queen for so long.

Xiao Duo closed his eyes and did not answer. Xiao Yi was not in a hurry, silently retreated, and then got into the carriage.

Seeing him sitting in, Baoqin shrank back slightly, "Lord, my lord, he ......"

"He is in Dali Temple, he should not have to worry about his life, at least until the verdict, there will be no incident." Xiao Yi opened his mouth and said: "It's you, after tonight, this king has to send you back to King Qing's mansion." ”

Baoqin's face was pale, and her body was so weak that she seemed to faint in the next second, but she still sat up straight stubbornly, "The slave family understands, thank you His Royal Highness King Liang." ”

Xiao Yi looked at her and said in a heavy tone, "Do you understand what this means?" ”

"Slave knows," Baoqin smiled, and Xiao Yi suddenly understood why she was so special to Xiao Duo. When this woman was smiling, she really looked like the peerless jade nobleman, "The slave will try its best to protect this child's integrity and protect itself." If you can't do it...... That's fate, too. ”

"Fate...... Xiao Yi looked out of the car window and occasionally passed by the street market in front of him, and muttered: "You're right, it's all fate." ”
