Mrs. Zhu wiped her tears and stared at Qingwan intently, her eyes were like looking at her own children: "I haven't seen Miss Qing for a long time, and she is still so radiant, seeing that the two of you are really a match made in heaven, the old slave is happy, happy!" ”

"When the second brother and sister-in-law get married, I will come to pick you up in person," Lu Xiufang also smiled busily: "You are our Lu family's honored guest!" ”

"Hui Niangniang," a small inner eunuch suddenly ran over in a panic: "The emperor, the emperor"

"What's wrong?" Empress Zhu Huo Di stood up, "What do you have to say slowly, what's wrong with the emperor?" ”

"I was still watching the song and dance, and I suddenly fainted at this moment!" The little inner prisoner's face was so frightened that his face was white and trembling.

"Is there a doctor?" Empress Zhu stood up and walked out: "Go and inform the prince immediately!" ”

"The imperial doctor has already passed on, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the outskirts of Beijing to inspect, for a while"

"What?" The queen stopped.

"Niangniang," Lu Yanyi held Qingwan's hand tightly, stepped forward and knelt down and said: "The prince once said to Weichen yesterday that he planned to go to Hedong all the way along the outskirts of Beijing, and he didn't want to alarm the people, and planned to go out on patrol in Weifu, only Weichen knew that His Royal Highness the Prince was resident in a house in Hedong, and now I ask Niangniang for permission, let Weichen go and invite His Royal Highness the Prince back, otherwise, it will be useless for people who don't know the distance to go." ”

Hearing these words, Empress Zhu took a deep look at the two people underground, but saw that their expressions did not have a trace of abnormality.

After a while, Empress Zhu said slowly: "Since Gongzi Lu is going, the palace will be approved, and when you get there, you can protect the prince." ”

"Wechen takes orders." As Lu Yanyi spoke, he pulled Qingwan to stand up and walked out of the door of the Middle Palace.

When he was far away, Qingwan saw that there was no one left and right, and then he whispered: "Do you know something?" ”

"What can I know?" Lu Yanyi only relaxed her hand slightly at this time: "Aren't you more aware of the emperor's condition than me?" ”

Qingwan was silent for a while: "The emperor is indeed terminally ill. So, you just want to get out? ”

"When the dynasty changed, it was the most turbulent, although the Su family had been defeated, it was better to be less involved." Lu Yanyi said: "The queen wants me to protect the crown prince, so I gave permission, take this opportunity, we have to leave immediately, otherwise, if there is a letter of death, I don't know what will happen." ”

"That" Qingwan hesitated for a moment: "Sister Xiuwan and"

"You don't have to worry about the two of them," Lu Yanyi said lightly: "Zhu Yan will definitely be able to protect his lady." Just like me and you. ”

Qingwan smiled slightly: "Then we won't go home, right?" Hengzhi found the prince and returned. ”

"No," Lu Yanyi said decisively, "We may not be able to return to Beijing in the short term." ”

"What?" Qingwan was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"Didn't you tell me a few days ago, my uncle and aunt once told you that before you got married, I wanted you to go back to your hometown once, and take advantage of this opportunity, we will go all the way from Hedong and go back to your hometown to live for a few days, just to avoid this turmoil."

"In this way, the time will not be too short," Qingwan pondered, "I have to go home and tell my father, and then ask in the shop." ”

"I've already thought about it," Lu Yanyi said: "I'll go and arrange the carriage and horses, you take advantage of this moment to say goodbye to your uncle and aunt first, think of a statement, don't disturb the two old people, you don't have to worry about the things in the shop, I will order someone to take care of it." When you have settled the second elder, you will come to the east gate. ”

"Okay," Qingwan agreed, knowing that without further ado: "Shenshi, you wait for me there on time." ”

Out of the palace gate, Lu Yanyi watched her get into the carriage before heading in the other direction.

Back at home, Qing Boding and his wife asked about the newlyweds' return to the door today, and Qing Juan said a few words, and then used the excuse that he was ordered by the queen to go to the suburbs of Beijing to make medicine with Lu Yanyi, and it would take about a month to come back.

"So long?" He Shi was inevitably worried: "There won't be any danger, right?" ”

"Mother, don't worry, what can you do with him?" Qingwan tried to say it as lightly as possible: "This is not going to the battlefield to kill the enemy. What's more, it's the queen's decree, and you can't disobey it. ”

Seeing this, Qing Boding and his wife had nothing to do, so they had to say: "When you get there, pay attention everywhere, and don't forget to send letters often." ”

"I'm afraid it won't work," Qingwan said, "but if there is a chance, I will definitely ask someone to carry the letter." ”

As he spoke, he called his servants over, instructed him again, packed up a few clothes, and hurried to the east gate.

A familiar carriage stopped quietly in a corner, but the coachman was a different person.

"Little camel! Why are you here? Didn't you follow Brother Li Gui? ”

"Big brother told me to come back." The little camel was very happy to see her, and sat in the driver's position: "Let me follow Lu Gongzi in the future!" ”

The curtain was lifted, and a pair of powerful hands pulled Qingwan in: "The disaster water flows into other people's fields, Brother Li can't control him, let me teach him well." ”

"Master Lu, didn't you say it?" The carriage started, and the little camel said unconvinced: "Brother Li asked me to follow you to find a way out, but I didn't let you educate me!" ”

Qingwan smiled: "Don't worry, with me, Brother Lu doesn't dare to do anything to you." ”

"With Sister Wei's words, I'm relieved." The little camel smiled heartily, and the carriage became faster and faster, and drove away from the capital.

"Brother Li Gui wrote me a letter, saying that it is not a way to let the little camel stay with him, after all, the little camel is still young, and he has to think of a long-term plan, so he will send him to me." Lu Yanyi said: "After this busy time, I will think of a place for him." ”

"This kid has a flexible brain, and he's a good material," Qingwan also said, "and it will be useful wherever it is placed." ”

Lu Yanyi nodded: "I can see the prince early tomorrow morning." ”

"I don't know what the current situation in the capital is, can the emperor's illness change?"

"According to the news that the emperor is now on the verge of dying," Lu Yanyi said in a low voice: "It will only be a day or two." By the time the prince rushes back, I'm afraid he'll already be dead. Lord Zhu in the capital has already been arranged, and the army is led by Zhu Yan, just waiting for the prince. ”

"The four princes, there won't be any waves, right?"

"Without the backing of the Su family, what other ideas can a child have?" Lu Yanyi was unimpressed: "If it had been in the past, we would have been on guard a long time ago." ”

Qingwan didn't say anything anymore, and at this time the sky gradually darkened, and the little camel asked in front, "Brother Lu, where are we staying tonight?" There is no village in front of this road, there is no shop in the back, and at a glance, there is not even a single smoke. ”

"If you don't stop tonight, be sure to rush to the Wing Loong Villa before dawn."

"What?" The little camel blurted out: "Non-stop"

"What, you're sleepy?" Lu Yanyi laughed.

"No, no," the little camel hurriedly said, but his tone was a little aggrieved: "I'm afraid that Miss Qing will work hard!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the two people in the car laughed, and Lu Yanyi said: "Little slippery head!" I know how to put the blame on someone else! I deliberately chose this road without an inn. If you change to another main road, there are liquor stores on both sides, but I'm afraid you won't listen to what I say. ”

"I'm a person who has been born and died, what's the point of not sleeping all night?" The little camel was unconvinced, and raised his whip vigorously, and the carriage ran faster and faster: "Just wait for me to prove it to you!" ”

"This kid is still a little childish," Qingwan also smiled: "But staying up all night really tired him." ”

"Just follow me through the experience." Lu Yanyi smiled slightly, and then whispered: "Although this path is remote, the distance is much closer. That's why you have to choose this. What time is it? A minute and a second away, things can change. You must see the prince as soon as possible. ”

Qingwan nodded: "Are you sure the prince will be in the Wing Loong Villa you are talking about?" ”

"You can't be wrong." Lu Yanyi said affirmatively: "This is the prince's most secret business, and only a few people know about it." Since he told me that he was going there, he wouldn't change his mind. ”

It was already completely dark, but the speed of the carriage had not slowed down in the slightest. All three of them stayed awake all night, eager to fly away.

The dawn has appeared, Lu Yanyi opened the curtain and looked outside, with a hint of joy on his face, and pointed not far away: "Look, it's in that bamboo forest!" ”

Qingwan took the opportunity to look, and sure enough, she saw a corner of the house under the cover of emerald greenery: "Fortunately, it's not too late!" ”

While speaking, the carriage suddenly stopped, and a few black-clothed people walked in front of him: "Don't approach here!" ”

Lu Yanyi got out of the car unhurriedly, took out a jade plate from his sleeve and shook it: "Tell His Royal Highness the Prince, just say that Lu is here." ”

The man in black was shocked, and immediately knelt down and said, "Master Lu forgives his sins!" The little ones are going to go in and come back! ”

"Come down." Lu Yanyi helped Qingjuan get out of the car, and instructed the little camel: "Find a secluded place to stop the carriage, don't move around, and we'll hurry when we come out." ”

"Brother Lu, where are you going?"

Lu Yanyi glanced at him coldly: "Didn't I tell you, don't talk nonsense if you shouldn't ask!" It seems that you still haven't remembered, do you want me to help you grow a memory? ”

"No, no!" The little camel was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again: "Brother Lu, I remember it now!" I'm going to stop and go! ”

After saying that, he ran in a hurry.

"After all, this kid lives in the mountains, and he is not familiar with many rules, so don't be too strict, just tell him slowly." Qingwan persuaded.

"It's not strict, I'm also for his good." Lu Yanyi said lightly.

"Master Lu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please come over." The man in black had already come out, bowing his head and respectfully.

Lu Yanyi took Qingwan's hand and walked slowly towards the forest, and a delicate small house appeared in front of him.
