After arriving at Ci'an Temple, Bai Yirong did not see a familiar figure.

There was no one under the camphor tree.

Bai Yirong stood in a daze for a while, then slowly walked to the stone steps, ready to go down.

At this moment, a familiar call sounded behind him-

"Rong'er." It's him, Lou Zhan.

Her body froze for a moment, and the joy that she couldn't hold back came well. Turning around, I saw Lou Zhan walking out of the treasure hall, his tall body standing outside the door, looking at it from Bai Yirong's perspective, as if it was level with the plaque on the door.

He walked straight up to her, his tall body giving her a hint of oppression, which made her feel weak.

She raised her head and looked at Lou Zhan's face, and at this time, she noticed that Lou Zhan's chin was a little pointed.

"You ......," she began, but she didn't know what to say.

"I understand." Lou Zhan said suddenly.

With that, he lifted his foot and passed past her.

"Wait." She hurriedly untied the purse from her waist and took out the jade box. It has a cool touch and is delicate and subtle.

Lou Zhan had already descended a stone staircase, so he froze in place, his back to his back and waited for what she was going to say next.

"I see that you seem to have lost a little weight, this is a pill to replenish your body." She handed over the jade box, but lowered her eyes the moment Lou Zhan turned around, for fear that he would find the flicker in his eyes.

Lou Zhan saw that her hands trembled slightly, and her face was full of meaning, and her heart softened. He took the jade box and turned around and left, the back of the departure was so resolute, without looking back.

Ying'er, who was waiting on the side, saw that her uncle was gone, and they also came over to help Bai Yirong down the stone steps.

"Miss, why are you crying?" Ying'er said.

Bai Yirong touched the bottom of her eyes, and sure enough, she was crying.

Lou Zhan left, didn't look at her more before leaving, and didn't say a word.

When Bai Yirong went back, she happened to see Bai Fengyi's carriage also stopped in front of the mansion.

Bai Fengyi got out of the car with a sad face and saw Bai Yirong standing at the door.

"Father, what's wrong?" Looks like something must have happened.

Bai Fengyi's eyebrows tightened: "I'm afraid your brother's marriage won't happen." ”

Bai Yirong's heart sank, since she knew that the object of her eldest brother's marriage was the cold doctor who had treated her, she was still looking forward to it, so she hurriedly asked what happened.

"She ran away."

This fact undoubtedly threw a thunderbolt in Bai Yirong's mind, and she was speechless for a long time.

There is a woman who dares to run away from marriage, this is the first time she has heard of it, and it happened next to her. She couldn't help but think about it.

What if she could escape here with Lou Zhan?

First of all, my father and eldest brother will definitely be worried, and Lou Zhan will definitely cause great consequences if he throws away his position as a general and those soldiers of the Great Yan Dynasty.

The Great Yan Dynasty can't live without him.

Thinking of this, Bai Yirong was deflated, and her accelerating heartbeat slowly recovered.

Running away doesn't solve the problem and can lead to endless trouble.

It's just a matter of being separated for a while.

After the eldest brother came back, he naturally learned about the other party's escape from marriage, and at night he came to her side with a depressed expression. sat down, didn't take a few sips of tea, and kept being in a daze.

Bai Yirong didn't know how to comfort him, so she simply accompanied him.

It wasn't until Bai Yirong was drowsy that Bai Wenyun turned her head, and her expression was faintly sad: "Little sister, I want to hear you play the piano." ”

Bai Yirong was slightly stunned, and asked Yan'er to find her piano.

Ying'er burned incense again, and the faint fragrance soon filled the whole room.

The beautiful sound of the piano came from the house, adding a touch of charm to the quiet night.

Inside the house, Bai Wenyun closed her eyes.

At this time, in the imperial study of the palace, the emperor was contemplating, and he had a golden phoenix hairpin in his hand.

Wang Hu, the commander of the imperial guard, was kneeling on one knee, waiting for the old emperor's reply.

This golden hairpin was made in the palace and was well-made, and it also had the mark of the treasure house on it.

This morning, the people below came up and said that they had found it in a pawnshop. Generally speaking, the treasure room is specially designed for the royal family to create gold jewelry and other things, and some powerful people will also choose the treasure room. But this golden phoenix hairpin is not something that ordinary women or girls can wear.

Phoenix jewelry can only be worn by princesses or queens in the palace, and folk women can only wear it for one day when they are married.

Of course, it cannot be concluded that this phoenix hairpin is the Red Silk Princess.

"Someone." The old emperor called out.

A little eunuch came in from outside, bowing his head respectfully in front of the dragon case.

"Go and find the people who usually serve her in the Red Silk Palace."

The little eunuch answered, and withdrew.

The old emperor looked at the golden phoenix hairpin on the table and said, "Nine times out of ten, it's hers." ”

But guesswork alone is useless.

The little eunuch's efficiency was still very fast, and he brought two palace maids in.

The two palace maids were so nervous that they knelt behind Wang Hu, their bodies trembling.

The old emperor threw the golden phoenix hairpin in front of them and said, "You can recognize whether this golden hairpin is usually worn by red tassels." ”

The two palace maids trembled and looked at each other, and after looking at it for a while, one of them replied: "Back to the emperor, this hairpin is indeed the eldest princess's." ”

"Is it really hers?" The old emperor confirmed again.

"Slaves and maidservants dare not tell lies."

The old emperor nodded with satisfaction, since the two of them were confirmed, then this hairpin must be a red tassel.

Now that the red tassel is out, he doesn't know his life and death, and the old emperor can't bear it. It is necessary to find it as soon as possible, and the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be.

"Good!" The old emperor slapped the case, bluffing the two palace maids below.

"Wang Hu, do you know what to do?"

"Wechen understands." Wang Hu stood up, bowed to the old emperor, and left.

What the old emperor wants to do, he naturally understands, the whereabouts of the eldest princess can be regarded as inquiring, and next, no matter what, he has to bring the red tassel back.

General's Palace.

"General, my subordinates have inquired that today, the commander of the imperial guard has arrested all the people in the pawnshop in Fumanquan into the palace."

Lou Zhan listened expressionlessly, and finally said, "Keep staring." ”

"Yes."

——

Hongying sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the missing golden hairpin on her head, in a trance.

A few days ago, she managed to get out of the courtyard where she was, only to find that this was a village, and the outside of the village was connected to a place similar to the neighborhood of the Imperial City. There are casinos, brothels, and all sorts of shops.

After being locked up in that empty courtyard for several months, one day she suddenly saw a bustling street market, and her feelings were self-evident.

I went to the casino, I went to the brothel, I picked up some snacks, I went to the pawnshop, and I paid some money to buy clothes.

Although it was only one day, she felt more joy than ever.

I guess I've been under house arrest for a long time.
