It doesn't look unusual from the outside, anyone will think that it is an ordinary house, and there are flowers and birds around, but Qingwan feels that there are not a few people lurking nearby.

She subconsciously squeezed Lu Yanyi's hand tighter.

As if sensing her nervousness, Lu Yanyi whispered: "Don't worry, here are all the prince's henchmen, foolproof." Just follow me. ”

Qingwan nodded slightly. The door to the hut creaked open, but there was no one to be seen.

"Yanyi! But what happened? In the east room, the voice of the prince was heard.

"Back to Your Highness, there will be a change in the palace." Lu Yanyi entered the room, looked at the person with his back to him, and only said these few words.

The crown prince Huo Di turned around, and his handsome face did not reveal a trace of surprise: "So fast? ”

"The condition is unpredictable, no one can say," Lu Yanyi said in a deep voice: "The queen also asks Her Royal Highness to go back quickly!" ”

"Are the things in the capital and the palace ready?" The prince asked.

"There is no need for His Highness to worry about it, Lord Zhu and the little general have already made arrangements. Now I just wait for the prince to return to preside over the big things. ”

The prince nodded, and just wanted to ask something more, when he suddenly saw a small pigeon flying in the sky and landed on Lu Yanyi's hand.

"Your Highness, slow down!" Lu Yanyi, who has always been calm, saw this bird, but his face changed, and he hurriedly untied a letter from the pigeon, opened it and read it hurriedly: "The fourth prince has transferred troops!" ”

"What?" The prince was taken aback.

"According to this secret letter, the fourth prince also knows about the affairs in the palace, and now he has secretly mobilized Nanyuan's soldiers and horses to prepare to enter the palace."

"The general soldier of Nanyuan is so bold!" The prince slammed his fist on the bookcase, "I didn't even see it!" ”

"Your Highness, don't worry," Lu Yanyi hurriedly said: "General Feng of Nanyuan has always been loyal and upright, how could he suddenly defect?" There must be a reason for this. It's too late to investigate in detail, but what matters is how to deal with it. ”

"Yanyi, what should you do?" The prince hurriedly said: "I only have a few dozen people here, and I can't borrow it."

Lu Yanyi thought for a while: "For the sake of today's plan, don't use the rest of the soldiers and horses, so as not to startle the snake." I have a method, near Nanyuan, I still have a team of henchmen, if the flying pigeon at this time to pass the book, but a short time, you can arrive. Handle the matter on the spot in Nanyuan, neither alarming the teacher nor delaying the time, I don't know what His Highness wants? ”

"That's great!" The prince was excited, "Since you have such subordinates, what else do I have to worry about?" Write quickly, and do not delay this matter. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured." Lu Yanyi took the pen and paper on the table, quickly wrote a note, tied it to the carrier pigeon, and let it fly in the sky.

"I didn't expect the fourth brother to be so bold and even want to rebel!" The crown prince gritted his teeth: "In vain, I have been so good to Su Guifei since his death, I thought he was truly repentant." Blame me for being blind and not seeing it! ”

"This is not the time to talk about this, when the big thing is decided, it is not too late to slowly investigate, please ask the prince to get on the horse quickly." Lu Yanyi said.

"With you by my side, my heart is much more stable. Let's go. ”

"Your Highness, forgive your sins, the two of us can't serve together." Lu Yanyi did not move.

The prince turned his head, as if he couldn't believe what he had heard, and after a moment he said, "Yanyi! What did you say? Won't you and Miss Qing accompany me back to Beijing? ”

"Your Highness, there is no doubt about this matter, I will serve His Highness as a matter of choice, helpless," Lu Yanyi said this, paused, and looked at the woman beside him with great distress: "The inner person has been sick recently, it is a blood deficit, if it is not treated in time, I am afraid that it will be dangerous, only Lingjuan grass can be treated, so I can only accompany the inner person to find herbs." ”

Qingwan's heart jumped, and she felt that Lu Yanyi, who was hugging her slender waist, had increased the strength in her hand a little more. She tried her best to keep her composure, and her face remained as usual.

The prince was stunned: "Miss Qing is not in good health?" ”

"Yes," Qingwan said busily: "It turns out that I am often weak, and I don't take it too seriously, I fainted twice in the past few days, and Yanyi also gave me a pulse diagnosis, which is indeed the case." I told him on the way here that he didn't have to accompany me to find herbs, and Yanyi just wouldn't listen to me. Please also ask Your Highness for forgiveness. ”

The prince was slightly displeased, and was silent for a moment, and it was difficult to say anything.

"Even if there are thousands of mistakes, it's all mine, no matter what, I must find Lingjuan grass as soon as possible and cure my inner person's illness." Lu Yanyi said categorically.

"I remember, the queen mother once said that day, didn't she reward Miss Qing with a Lingjuan grass?" The prince asked suddenly.

Lu Yanyi had already prepared: "It is precisely because of taking the herbs rewarded by the queen that the condition is very good, so I have to look for it again as soon as possible to remove the root of the disease." If it's delayed and something goes wrong, even if I spend my whole life, I can't let go. ”

"I've also heard of the name of this Lingjuan grass," there was suspicion in the prince's tone: "It grows on the broken mountain of Chengzhou, thousands of miles away, and it is extremely difficult to find it, so you guys are going."

"Even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers, high mountains and deep seas, I will accompany my insiders to find them."

"That's it, I understand your temper, and no one can stop you from doing what you want to do," the prince sighed: "It's just that I always feel uneasy when I don't have you to accompany me back to Beijing." Thousands of troops and horses are not as good as Yanyi, you can tell me to be down-to-earth. ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, with Lord Zhu and the little general here, there will be no mistakes."

"Well, it's getting dark," the prince looked out the window, with a resolute expression on his face: "No matter what the outcome is, success or failure is here." Yanyi, you and Miss Qing just have to go, and I'll leave. ”

Lu Yanyi said word by word: "We are waiting for the news of the new emperor's accession to the throne in Chengzhou. ”

Several people glanced at each other and didn't say anything, the prince went first, Lu Yanyi and the two followed, and the rest of the black-clothed people in the villa followed silently.

After leaving the bamboo forest and seeing the prince and his party leave quickly, Lu Yanyi showed a smile.

"It's a shame that your brain is spinning fast," Qingwan said with a smile: "I only told you once that day, the queen rewarded Lingjuan grass, but I didn't expect you to use it." ”

"Is your husband that kind of foolish person?" The corners of Lu Yanyi's lips drew an evil arc: "You just wait and see in the future." ”

"Praise you twice, and you won't be able to find the north and the south!" Qingwan smiled: "If we go back to our hometown, will the prince know?" If Your Highness finds that he has been deceived"

"Our carriage is fast, let's go to Broken Mountain first, and then it's not too late to go back to our hometown." Lu Yanyi suddenly changed her serious look: "Do you really want to go back to your hometown?" ”

"How?"

"I'd rather stay with you on the Broken Mountain for a few days." Lu Yanyi approached her: "It's just the two of us, quiet." ”

"I understand." Qingwan smiled sweetly: "Why don't I want to?" But I'm also a little worried about my sister, and I'm worried about my family, as long as I have one day. When the major events of the imperial court have an eyebrow, it is not too late to return to his hometown when he returns to Beijing. ”

Lu Yanyi kissed her deeply on the forehead: "Quiet mountain dwelling, this is what I have dreamed of." ”

After getting into the carriage, Qingwan wrote a letter to her parents, saying that everything was fine. When she arrived at the next inn, she gave the letter to the innkeeper and asked him to send it home from the inn.

Although Chengzhou is quite far away from the capital, the journey is quite smooth. It's only a few days away.

But I haven't heard anything about the imperial court, plus the two younger brothers are in the court, and Hanguang is in the military department, along the way, Qingwan can't help but be worried.

On the first night after arriving in Chengzhou, Qingwan looked at the moonlight in the sky by the window, and was still worried about the affairs of the capital. Lu Yanyi walked behind her: "Such a beautiful starlight, what's so unhappy?" ”

Seeing that she didn't reply, Lu Yanyi stopped talking. Standing side by side with her, after a moment, he placed a note on the windowsill: "Just look at it." ”

Qingwan picked up the note and glanced at it: "The emperor has died?" ”

Her heart trembled, and she quickly continued to read, and when she had finished reading the lines, she finally sighed softly.

"How? Now rest assured, right? ”

Qingwan leaned on his body, and the hot breath seemed to be able to give people unlimited power: "The big thing is over." ”

"This time, Hanguang has made a great contribution. On the night of the emperor's death, Zhu Yan was pressed in the inner palace, and there was a sudden chaos at the palace gate. If you don't arrive in time, you are afraid of inciting the people in the palace, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Qingwan listened, and only felt palpitations: "There is such a thing?" These internal supervisors can't afford to set off such a storm, there must be someone who wants to cooperate with them inside and out! ”

"You're right." Lu Yanyi nodded: "Later, I got a confession, they are the people of the Su family who were originally in the palace, and they were also bought by the four princes with a lot of money, but they didn't know what happened outside, and they wanted to welcome the four princes into the palace according to the original agreement." ”

"In the final analysis, the credit for this time is yours," Qingwan was as tender as water: "If you hadn't killed the rebellion of the four princes, no matter how heroic Hanguang was, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the attack inside and outside." Although there are only a few words written on the note, I can also imagine how tragic Nanyuan Yidou should be. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yanyi's face was very gloomy: "Of the more than 400 people under my command, only six of them survived, and they were all poisoned and disabled. After all, the four princes have been in business for many years, even if the Su family falls, they didn't expect that the residual strength is not shallow. For example, when the inventory was carried out several times, the internal supervisors who were in turmoil at the palace gate could not be found. As soon as they arrived in Nanyuan, the four princes knew that the matter was exposed, mobilized all their strength, and tried to fight to the death, fighting all night before the traitor was eliminated. But both sides were defeated, and few people escaped for their lives. ”

"The four princes committed suicide by drinking medicine, which can be regarded as a crime." Qing Juan felt sorry for these samurai: "If it weren't for the battle between the new kings, how could it have taken the lives of many people?" Wealth and glory are all made of white bones. ”

"These more than 400 people are the team I have trained the longest, and now that they have been destroyed, I have to think of a way to get out." Lu Yanyi said suddenly.
