He hurriedly took two steps forward, but saw the woman wearing the fence shaking her head slightly at the maid, and then quickened her pace and stepped down the stone steps.

The young man did not speak rashly, but followed behind him with the little servant.

It was not until he followed the bamboo forest behind the hall that few people set foot in that he spoke: "Miss Jiang, it's me-"

Jiang Lingyi stopped, but did not look back, only whispered: "Today is to pray for my mother's incense...... Please also ask the four princes not to misunderstand. ”

The smile on the young man's face was slightly condensed, but he quickly laughed.

"Of course I know." He said, "But I came here to wait for Miss Jiang." ”

In the past six months, he ordered three letters to be sent to her, asking her to come out to meet her, but she never came to see him, let alone heard from him.

But for some reason, the more this is the case, the more he misses her.

In the sight, the girl's back was thin and delicate, and at this time, it could be seen that she lowered her head slightly, and said, "What are the four princes waiting for me to do?" I'm ...... now. The reputation is infamous, and everyone avoids it. In the future, it is better for the four princes to stay away from me, and don't get into any trouble because of me. ”

"How could it be!"

The fourth prince hurriedly shook his head.

He knew that the reason why she didn't want to see him must be because she didn't want to cause him trouble.

At this time, he said: "I have ordered someone to verify this matter, but it is just a rumor without any evidence...... Outsiders don't know your temperament, so how can I not know it? When I first heard it, I didn't believe a word! ”

“……”

Jiang Lingyi was silent for a while when she heard this, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you for believing in me, the fourth prince." ”

But he didn't say much else, only turned around and bowed to Zhu Youqi, "It's not too early, the courtiers will leave first." ”

Zhu Youqi was stunned.

Didn't she want to tell him anything?

Maybe he can help some—

He sighed, but in his heart he couldn't help but admire the girl in front of him more and more, and when she passed by his side, he raised his hand to stop someone.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I have a lot to say to Miss Jiang." He looked at her and said, "There are a lot of people here, why don't we go to the Zen courtyard behind us and talk?" ”

But when she saw that she didn't want to think about it, she shook her head.

"I'm afraid this is so inappropriate......"

"Don't worry, I will order someone to guard it, and I will never be seen." The fourth prince smiled and said, "Didn't you ask me to help you find someone before?" Now that the results have been obtained, I'll tell you more about them later—"

Jiang Lingyi hesitated for a while before reluctantly nodding.

The four princes were overjoyed when they saw this, but in order to avoid people's eyes, they still separated from her, and walked in the direction of the Zen courtyard one after the other.

There are several Zen temples for pilgrims to rest.

In a Zen courtyard, there are many meditation rooms.

Jiang Lingyi entered the meditation courtyard and vaguely heard the laughter in one of the meditation rooms, only to know that there were other people's homes.

She frowned subconsciously.

But it's hard to say much.

It is not that someone left a Zen courtyard alone, so it can be seen that the four princes left the palace today and did not make a noise.

It is better not to be noticed.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to this, she took the maid and stepped into the meditation room with the door wide open.

Compared with other temples, Dayongchang Temple is unique everywhere, it is just a meditation room, it is also spacious and bright, elegantly furnished, and all the things used.

The fourth prince had already come one step ahead of her, and when he saw her come in, he hurriedly closed the door of the room, and ordered the two guards he brought to guard outside the meditation room.

In the meditation room, Jiang Lingyi saluted the four princes.

"The fourth prince just said that he has found out the whereabouts of that Aunt Tian?" Jiang Lingyi asked softly.

The fourth prince coughed lightly and said, "There is no one else here, Miss Jiang might as well take off the power fence, let's sit down and talk." ”

Jiang Lingyi took off the fence as he said and sat down in the chair.

The eyes of the four princes added even more smiles.

What he admires most is her untwisted style, even if he knows that he is a prince, he does not have so many useless restraints.

Seeing that she was waiting for him to speak, he smiled uncomfortably and said, "Regarding the whereabouts of the Natian clan, I haven't heard any useful news yet......

Jiang Lingyi didn't have any waves in her heart when she heard this.

She could see it early in the morning, he was simply tricking her to come over and talk, but he didn't want to poke it, let alone poke it.

This time is different from the past, maybe her way out in the future is really only him, and she should be more attentive.

Therefore, at this time, he pursed his lips for a moment, frowned slightly, and looked at him.

"What did the four princes do to lie to me? Aren't you making fun of me? ”

The tone sounded angry at first glance, but there was a hint of grievance in the fine taste.

Seeing this, the fourth prince was a little flustered, and said hurriedly: "It's not a lie, don't worry, sooner or later, the news will come back...... I know that you are filial and kind, how can you not do your best? ”

The Aunt Tian she asked him to help inquire about was rumored to be the sister of the future princess's nurse.

According to Miss Jiang, the nurse surnamed Tian and her sister of Miss Zhang were good friends with Mrs. Jiang when they were young.

It was only later that Mrs. Jiang went to Shaanxi with her husband's family, and the Tian family's business failed, and the Datian family, who had just married, was forced to make a living and entered the Zhang family as a nurse.

However, soon, he was bereaved by his husband and son, suffered a blow and became seriously ill, and soon returned to his ancestral home in the countryside to recuperate.

After Mrs. Jiang returned to Beijing, she was very sad when she heard about this, so she wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of the Xiao Tian clan and help her as much as she could.

I just haven't been able to find out anything.

Miss Jiang was filial piety, so she asked him for help.

"Miss Jiang...... Why are you crying? ”

The girl in front of the meeting turned around and wiped her tears from her side to him, and the fourth prince was even more panicked.

He hurriedly stood up: "Don't cry, it's all because I lied to you...... But I just wanted to talk to you. ”

Jiang Lingyi was in tears, her voice was choked, and she said in a low voice, "I don't understand, why do you treat me so well......"

The fourth prince was stunned when he heard this.

Was she crying over this?

looked at the crying girl again, and the young man's ignorant heart softened even more.

He subconsciously raised his hand and wiped the tears from her cheeks for her.

Under the fingertips, the girl's skin was delicate and soft, making his heartbeat a little faster.

Jiang Lingyi looked up at him in amazement, and then lowered her head evasively.

Seeing that she did not show a look of rejection, the fourth prince was overjoyed, sat down beside her, and patiently comforted her.

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly flashed outside the meditation room.

The two guards guarding the door glanced at each other, and one of them chased after the dark shadow, while the other stayed where he was, looking around cautiously.

In the next moment, he took a cautious step back, clenched the knife at his waist, and looked warily at the eaves above.
