Heavy snow, Yanjing.

The castle tower on the south side was covered with snow, and I looked pure white from a distance, but I didn't notice that there was a person in the wind and snow, and I didn't move.

"What day is it?"

Behind the white battlements, the people standing in the snow moved, and immediately snowflakes fell.

If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that it is a huge umbrella, and the surrounding area has been integrated with the plain white world, but when you look closely, you find that there is no moisture under the umbrella, and I don't know how long the person holding the umbrella has been standing with it?

"If you go back to Your Highness, if you count from the day of the accident, today is already the sixty-sixth day."

The man holding the umbrella forcibly endured trembling hands, and the voice of the reply was moderate, and he did not dare to show the slightest carelessness.

After all, the one who used to only fight cocks and lackeys and couldn't support the wall turned into a person who took over the power of the Shen family with his own hands, and easily put His Majesty under house arrest......

If it comes to luck, there is no one in the entire East Palace who is more lucky than him, and he was promoted by his master to be a personal eunuch as soon as he showed his face casually, and this kind of glory can't be exchanged for decades!

"Has it been so long? 30 days ...... It seems that Hongu's movements are still too slow! ”

The person under the umbrella suddenly moved, and with a plain uniform, like the usual gentle temperament, Rao was angry and would not be too obvious.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, your movements are not slow! Since the accident of King Qin and his entourage, you have been working on the state affairs of Yanjing and even the entire Dayan, aren't you also sleeping on the third watch and waking up on the fifth watch today? Even the minions are happy for the people, the future Mingjun! ”

The man holding the umbrella lowered his body and never lifted his eyelids again.

I heard that the old man in the East Palace said that the master in front of him likes to listen to good words if he is not good, although it is not easy to pat the horse, but if he can't speak, then he is really stupid!

"Humph! If this palace had known that the eunuch's office belonged to you with a big mouth, it would have been replaced by someone else! ”

The man standing in front did not move, but his tone did not show much anger, which showed that he was just talking.

"Minions are stupid, minions should be damned!"

The eunuch holding the umbrella smiled quietly, knowing that what he said was too substandard, and he would have to praise it in a different way next time.

"Report - Your Highness, a letter from the messenger from the south!"

A fast horse passed under the city, carrying in his hand a secret letter that had killed ten horses.

"Send it up!"

The person who was still standing under the umbrella suddenly turned around, leaving only the light gray wolf fur in the wind and snow, as if it was not her who was waiting here before dawn to wait for the letter.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, go slowly! The road is slippery, be careful......"

The eunuch holding the umbrella turned around in a panic and chased after him, but the big umbrella in his hand affected his running speed, and his anxious and worried tone couldn't do anything about it.

"Hongu is not bound again."

In the distance, I only heard the person in front of me leave this sentence.

The castle guard and the people stood on both sides of the road, all of them became snowmen, until the prince entered the building, and no one moved, not even for a blink of an eye.

"Hey!"

The eunuch simply threw the big umbrella in his hand to the ground, and trotted in with his official robe, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was infected with the wind and cold again, I was afraid that the crown princess and the concubine would talk to him to death!

Qi Qi, the chief of the city guard who turned into a snowman, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around to see that the prince's people had indeed entered, so he dared to gesture for everyone to evacuate.

In the urn tower, the council chamber.

"Xiao Chen went to the Nanzhao Bai family, and the three brothers of the Bai family led him into the holy land of the Wu clan, and then Bai Dutong sent someone to seal the holy land? Why? ”

Xiao Jue looked at the marching Shata expressionlessly, as if he was doubting the authenticity of the matter.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this news came out after the secret line on the border of Nanzhao was scrapped and the whole dark line was desperately lost, as for the reason...... The brothers I saw with my own eyes were all dead, and then we also sent people back to investigate, and several elders and witches of the Wu clan also went back to make trouble in Baifu because of this, and then they were thrown directly into the holy land by Bai Dutong, and they escaped in less than two days. ”

The guards who carried the message were like a surging river, and they only had to dance with their eyebrows to describe how they had killed ten horses to deliver the message.

After all, everyone knows very well that the future majesty in front of him may be remembered for doing an errand, and then he will be promoted to the knighthood in the future!

"Whew! That's it? ”

Xiao Jue suddenly smiled, threw the letterhead in his hand directly into the brazier and lit it, and opened the second letter casually.

"Your Highness, this letter is ......"

"Shut up! Say half a word more, and this palace will order someone to cut out your tongue. ”

The person who read the letter still did not look up, but every word that came out was terrifying.

When the guard heard this, he cut his tongue, forcibly held back the words in his stomach, and shrunk his neck and did not move.

"Your Highness means that you should go down and rest after a long journey, and wait for the reward."

The eunuch with the umbrella who ran in just now waved his hand at him and sent the person away.

"This palace didn't see it, but you can be a man."

Xiao Jue, who read the letter, paused his fingertips and looked up at the people around him.

"Your Highness laughed, the servant is just sending a broken mouth for His Highness, so as not to disturb His Highness's mind, he is too noisy."

The eunuch said with a smile, showing that he should not be well-behaved and old at this age.

"Humph! You can talk. ”

Xiao Jue snorted coldly, lowered his head and continued to read the letter, sprinkled thousands of words, but there was nothing useful!

What does it mean that the whereabouts of King Qin and his entourage are hidden and traceless? What do you mean by passing through Linchuan Mansion and then detouring to Dongchuan Mansion to fight and come back from the east?

"Is there anything wrong with Your Highness?"

The eunuch tilted his head and looked at it, not quite understanding why he was so displeased.

It stands to reason that although His Royal Highness King Qin has a strong reputation, it is not all good reputation, plus he is seriously ill and will recover, no matter where he comes from, he has no strength to compete with the current East Palace, even if he comes back?

"Isn't it possible to laugh at this palace?"

Xiao Jue's hand holding the letterhead slammed suddenly, and the letterhead in his hand instantly shattered into powder, and his face obviously became gloomy.

It's all a bunch of rubbish! So many living people can't even find a trace?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry! The slave has a foolish opinion, and he doesn't know whether to talk about it or not! ”

The eunuch's knees weakened, and he fell to his knees, his head hanging and trembling, looking frightened.

"Speak! Do you believe that the palace will throw you back to the eunuch's office? ”

Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows, looked at him angrily, his eyes were full of raging flames, and he was shocked to see it.

"Yes! Although the little one has not learned advanced knowledge, but when he was a child, he read a few days, and his father is the dart master of the dart game, so he knows this journey very well, and he is called back from the south, even if Xiao Chen carries the matter, he will have to rest for three or five days before he will go on the road on the day the heart devouring Gu is lifted, and when the dart bureau escorts the work in the summer, he will be whipped from the south to Yanjing for a month, and Xiao Chen and his party will definitely not be faster than this, and the premise is that they will travel day and night. ”

After the eunuch finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head, looking as if he was too timid to speculate on this man's intentions.

"Well, it kind of worked! So in your opinion, how many days do they have to return to Beijing? ”

Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows and said indifferently.

"Seven days at the earliest, or at the latest...... Ten days. ”

The eunuch's eyes rolled, as if he smelled a hint of danger.

"Didn't you just say that you should hurry up for a month? also said that Xiao Chen's Heart-devouring Gu couldn't be solved faster, are you a fool when you are in this palace? ”

Xiao Jue's eyebrows were horizontal, and he raised his foot and kicked towards the person kneeling in front of him, and with a bang, the person in front of him flew to the door of the room like a broken sack, smashed on the door panel and spit out blood.

"Your Highness is angry! Your Highness, please listen to the villain...... Burst! ”

The eunuch covered his heart, the whole person was trembling, and he climbed forward on his knees, and knocked his head on the ground three times.

"Say!"

Xiao Jue glanced at him with disgust, and stepped back a few points silently, to avoid the blood droplets from his mouth splashing on himself, and his plain white robe was spotless.

"Yes! Because of the second letter! The letter said that Xiao Chen and his entourage might pass through Linchuan Mansion and Dongchuan Mansion and then come back from the east through Huainan, and the slave thought that this news was not far from ten! ”

The eunuch covered his mouth and retreated, humble and petty, showing the flattery of the low-level people in the market to the fullest.

"Why? Why? "Girls

Xiao Jue took the scepter and dialed the sand table, and immediately showed a topographic map of Dayan's northern terrain.

"If it weren't for that, the Central Plains region, where the avenue leads to the sky, would never be able to find the slightest clue, so the route inference is correct!"

The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the blank space in the middle.

"What about then? Why do you think they'll come back early? Could it be that Xiao Chen, he has wings? ”

Xiao Jue's face softened a little, and he looked at this eunuch again.

When he chose people, he focused on choosing from the people with the worst family background, and finally fell in love with this one because he was really smart, but he was timid and cautious, so he could rest assured that such a person could stay by his side.

Now that I see it, I have a good vision, and I still have a bit of a brain.

"The Huainan waterway is not completely frozen, the land route is slow, but the waterway is fast, and there is no need for Xiao Chen to do anything."

The eunuch pondered for a moment, but still had the courage to speak out.

Two months ago, the Huainan disaster relief case was in an uproar, not to mention the two hard bones of Linchuan Mansion and Dongchuan Mansion, even the entire Huainan Province is now in Xiao Chen's bag!

His Majesty did not specify the faction when he sent the new officials, but most of them were protégés and literati of the Qingliu lineage, and it was not difficult to see the result from the old and stubborn attitude of the Marquis of Yongning.

"Well, Hongu has looked away, and you turned out to be a smart one."

Xiao Jue casually took out a jade pendant and threw it to the eunuch kneeling beside him, and then strode out of the door.

"Your Highness? Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward! The eunuch was stunned for a moment, then immediately got up, chased after him, and shouted, "Your Highness, where are we going?" ”

"Let's drive back to the palace, let's go to Taiyuan Palace today!"

The gray wolf's fur was drowned in the wind and snow, and it was not really visible.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, are we going to pick up Concubine De and Miss Guanxuan back to the East Palace today? That's unacceptable! The crown princess just forced the pear beauty in the plum garden to hang herself yesterday, if Miss Guanxuan's temperament is encountered, she has to pinch you to death! ”

The eunuch was about to cry in fright, but his feet were slow and his body was weak, and he really couldn't keep up with Xiao Jue's speed, so he could only roll all the way down the frozen steps, and his nose and face were swollen.

"You're talking too much!"

Xiao Jue glanced back at him, and saw that he was still rolling at the foot of the steps and didn't get up, and the guards next to him stepped forward to help, and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Highness, I can't help it! I really can't help it! ”

The eunuch touched the snot and tears on his face, and stumbled to follow, as if he didn't notice the difference in Xiao Jue's attitude towards him.

"Get in the car and go."

Xiao Jue glanced at the dirty clothes on his body in disgust, pulled a blanket and threw it over, only to see that the guards in and outside the car all looked straight at him.

They are so lucky, the little eunuch in front of them will be the first celebrity in the palace in the future!

"Hey......"

The eunuch climbed into the carriage, wrapped himself in a blanket and leaned against the corner of the carriage, his face was turned on his back, he didn't dare to look directly at the sky with this sloppy appearance, and there were words in his mouth, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"

"Shut up! Say half a word more, cut your tongue. ”

Xiao Jue yawned, and when he saw that the person in front of him was really silent, he closed his eyes with satisfaction.

He had to walk for an hour from the south gate to the palace, and he could just get some sleep and then go back to watch the play.

That's the once invincible Nan Xuan...... The flower of Kaolin, which no one can afford to provoke and then can't provoke, who knows that it has fallen into such a field today!

Taiyuan Palace.

The cold palace has been different from the past since the arrival of the people, everything good in the palace is sent here, and the strange and nothing that others do not have has been sent to an unknown number, even the agate ornaments that were extremely rare in the queen mother's mother were also used as stepping stones in the toilet by the southern girl.

"Concubine De, ah no, Miss Xuan, this plum blossom is blooming today, do you want to taste the craftsmanship of the slave?"

The woman in a gray plain robe stood resignedly, and it seemed that she was still the little medicine girl who was not favored.

"Plum blossoms can also make tea? It's the first time I've heard of it in this palace, but you have a heart, I heard that the Marquis of Zhongyi sent Dong Jialiang to lead his most elite old troops to intercept and kill Xiao Chen, and he didn't want to die of emaciation, and the camel was bigger than the horse, and finally kidnapped Nan Jinyu, hehehe, it was really doom......ed in the dark."

Nan Xuanxi was shining on the newly made beautiful enamel armor set in her hand in the winter sun, staring at Zhu Lingxi's face coldly.

The way this doctor girl came from is very clear, but she was born too good-looking, and staying by her side will be a hidden danger in the future, if it is......

"What Miss Guanxuan said is extremely true! If that bad man is dead, if he lives, the slave and maid will definitely break the bodies of their dog man and woman into ten thousand pieces! ”

Zhu Lingxi cursed viciously, but he couldn't help but shed tears, and turned the deepest disgust in his heart into sadness and resentment.

After all, she couldn't understand Nan Guanxuan's mind anymore, and she couldn't accommodate half a grain of sand around her, even if that person was her sister-in-law! Only by pretending to be ugly and dressing up as a woman at all times can I save this life!

Compared to this vicious neurosis, the crown princess is much easier to deal with......

"Tut-tut! Bengong said what are you doing, the anger is too heavy, it's not good, it's not good, you better make tea, Bengong is lacking. ”

Nan Xuanxuan waved her hand in satisfaction and sent her away.

The situation in Yanjing has changed, she has lost nothing except the child who is congenitally deficient, and even the prince feels guilty about her, and now it's time for her to do so!

"Concubine De! Empress! ”

A panting little palace maid ran in outside the gate of Taiyuan Palace, shouting and rushing in the direction of the main hall, but was lifted to the ground by the grandmother at the door.

"What's the nonsense? It's called Miss Guanxuan! ”

Mama reprimanded, quite a few in charge of the majesty of Mama.

"Yes! The slave maid said the wrong thing in a hurry, Miss Guanxuan, the prince, the prince, he has returned to the palace! The carriage and horses are coming to Taiyuan Palace! About, about a stick of incense! ”

The little palace maid raised her face and said, not afraid of the old grandmother's warning and disgust.

Now the entire palace knows that those who can enter the Taiyuan Palace on duty will be masters in the future, who doesn't want to take the opportunity to please the top pet of His Royal Highness the Prince?

"Reward!"

Nan Xuanxuan's hand suddenly got up and glanced at the palace maid kneeling outside the door, and a smile appeared on her face.

Did Xiao Jue finally come to pick her up and go back to the East Palace? Is it time to get started?

"The girl rewarded you!"

The housekeeper took out a token and threw it at the feet of the palace maid, and the palace maid who held the token kowtowed with a thousand thanks, and followed the grandmother next to her to take the post.

Since this person lived in Taiyuan Palace, there was an unwritten rule that anyone who provided useful information to Taiyuan Palace would stay and wait after getting the token.

"I've been waiting for so many days, and I've finally waited for today!"

Nan Xuanxuan got up and sorted out her clothes, and looked at the person in the corner on the side, "What did Mama say yesterday?" What did the crown princess do? ”

"If you go back to the girl, the crown princess forced the lady of Meiyuan to hang herself."

Mama replied respectfully, and the joy on her face did not hide it at all.

The girl finally got through it, and in a few days the lady who was confined to the mansion would be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Dead?"

Nan Xuanxuan yawned and didn't even lift her eyelids.

"Dead, rumors...... It's the lady who is pregnant......"

Mama's eyes flickered, she didn't dare to say this kind of thing, but the girl asked.

"It's good to be dead, save the palace from doing it."

A trace of displeasure flashed on Nan Xuan's face, but a smile immediately appeared again, if it is gone, it is gone, if it is kept, it is still unclear, anyway, there will be it in the future!

"Yes...... The girl really understands people. ”

Mama breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the corner tremblingly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

"Slaves, slaves and maids, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"

There was a sound of the salute outside the hospital, and Nan Guancheng went out when he heard the voice, and hugged the future person with a full embrace.

"Your Highness, you're here! The concubine has seen His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

As if realizing that his words and deeds were inappropriate, Nan Xuanxuan made a perfunctory salute.
