As for the prince who escaped, he was obviously much better than them, although he was more unlucky when he first entered the city.

After he broke free from the bindings and escaped from Chu Hongze's hands, he had been wandering by the city wall, hesitating whether to enter the city or not.

There is his power in the city, and the guards of this city happen to be his people, but if you enter the city like this, it will be too embarrassing!

"Alas, think of Prince Ben, how beautiful it was when he set out. Now he is coming back in this way, if he ...... when the time comes" He looked down at his clothes, and sighed again, he has always loved face, and he hates the feeling of being ridiculed, although few people dare to laugh at him, but people's eyes cannot be controlled!

Therefore, he hated Chu Hongze and Wen Ruyi more and more in his heart, and hated him even more.

"What to do? Do you want to go into the city today? The prince moved his gaze from side to side, and looked at the environment outside the city, and it was bleak; I looked at the environment in the city again, and it was prosperous.

Compared with the two, he still decisively chose to enter the city, after all, there are still many things waiting for him to do.

"Now in this situation, I don't know what kind of tongue they will chew in front of their father after they go back, no, this palace must go back quickly!" Besides, if he doesn't enter the city, it will be dark, so he can't be allowed to spend the night in the wilderness outside the city, right?

In this way, the prince made up his mind to enter the city gate, and when he was being examined by the guards, he took a token from his waist, and the pattern on the token was exactly the same as that painted on the plaque on the city gate.

"This ...... This is......? Seeing the token, the guards searching for the prince couldn't help but be startled and looked at the prince with a shocked expression.

"Take me to your guards." The prince frowned, lowered his voice and said, while looking nervously left and right, looking like he was avoiding someone.

Isn't it just hiding from people? He definitely didn't want to be caught back again, he finally ran out of the hands of Chu Hongze and Qi Lao, in case he accidentally ran into it again and fell into their hands, then he would not be so easy to get out, it was really bad luck for eight lifetimes.

"Yes, you...... Please come with the little ones! The guards didn't dare to make a noise, and immediately saluted the prince and respectfully led him to the city.

It turned out that the token handed over by the crown prince was an exclusive symbol of the city's guards, so the guards knew at a glance that his identity was anything but unusual.

When he came to the city lord's mansion, the city lord met with the prince, and he also entertained him, provided him with food and clothing, and after bathing and changing, His Royal Highness the prince of the Longteng Kingdom came back again.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, with all due respect to the old minister, it is better for you to return to Beijing as soon as possible, during your absence, I heard that the situation in the capital has been very unstable, and the old minister is afraid of ......."

The city lord is an old man who has entered the age of sixtieth year, and belongs to the prince's forces in the frontier.

Hearing his words, the crown prince Chu Hongchen couldn't help but be stunned, this time he had indeed delayed a lot of time in the enemy country, so he hurriedly asked him to prepare the carriage: "Then there is the city lord of Lao, help the palace prepare a carriage and send the palace back!" ”

"Yes, the prince please come with the old minister, the carriage and horses have already been prepared, I hope the prince will return to Beijing as soon as possible, I still need the prince!" The city lord had already arranged everything, and led the prince directly to the back door of the city lord's mansion, and sure enough, a carriage had been parked there.

When the coachman who drove the carriage saw the comer, he immediately brought him a stool for the prince to step on and get on, and the carriage was all ready.

After getting into the carriage, the prince gestured back to the city lord: "Don't worry, the palace will be rectified immediately when it goes back." In this world, it is not the turn of others to sit, you just wait for the news in the frontier, don't worry. ”

After speaking, he retracted into the carriage and motioned to the coachman to drive the carriage on the road, but now he was like an arrow, for fear that Chu Hongze and others would make trouble for him again if he didn't go back.

It has been almost half a month since the prince went to the enemy country this time, and after two days of traveling day and night, the prince finally came to the capital.

Unlike the city he walked through when he returned, it was only here that he embodied what true prosperity and true peace were.

However, looking at the singing and dancing in the city, the prince's heart became empty for no reason, and as for what he was doing, he couldn't say it himself.

"Your Highness, let's ...... Where are you going now? The coachman who drove the car was the confidant of the city lord, and he was naturally respectful to the prince, and when he saw that he was almost there, he asked casually.

The prince thought hard and finally decided, "Go back to the prince's mansion first!" ”

Except for the Prince's Mansion, he has nowhere to go for the time being, after all, he is not clear about the current situation, so he should go back and investigate before making a decision.

"Okay! Drive! The coachman hurried to the prince as he asked how to get to the prince's house, and after an hour they drove from the outer city into the inner city.

Not far away, you can see the majestic palace standing in the center of the city, and the prince's palace is just southeast of the palace.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the prince's mansion, and the coachman got out of the carriage first to help the prince get a stool and let him down.

Stepping down from the carriage, the prince stood in front of the door of his mansion, looked up at the plaque with the words "Prince's Mansion" written on it, and a smile of unknown meaning rose on the corners of his drooping lips.

Before he came down, the guards at the main gate of the mansion wanted to drive him away, but when he saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had returned, the expression on his face changed instantly, and even his eyes became flattering.

"Your Highness is back, Your Highness is back!" A family member rushed into the mansion and shouted, and after a while, everyone in the mansion knew the news of His Royal Highness the Prince's return.

Especially the wives and concubines of the prince, when they heard that His Royal Highness the prince was back, they hurriedly rushed out of their respective courtyards and greeted them like swarms.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince!" From a distance, you can see the beautiful women who are fat and thin, and have their own merits, rushing to the door from the house, shouting "His Royal Highness the Prince" repeatedly, in order to appear in his sight first and attract the prince's attention.

"Why did they get out?" The prince, who was walking towards the study, heard the familiar voice, and his heart was not happy, but his face sank, and his eyes were staring at them quite unkindly, this group of women ......

"Your Highness, you can be regarded as back, the concubines miss you very much!"

"Yes, yes, my sisters all said that His Highness is not here, everyone is about to fall in love, Your Highness, you can be regarded as back!"

"Woo woo, Your Highness, if you don't come back, concubine...... The concubine's eyes are going to be swollen with crying! ”

……

In the past, he liked the voice the most, but now it sounds as noisy as a sparrow, which makes people feel very upset when they listen to it.

The prince stopped with a faceless without any emotion, not that he didn't want to go, but that this group of warblers and Yanyan blocked his way and surrounded him, and he couldn't move at all.

"Why are you here?" At this moment, he just wants to take a good rest, too many things have happened recently, his body is tired, and his heart is also tired, so he doesn't want to entangle too much with these troublesome women at this time.

But...... This question was just a perfunctory gesture, but he was mistaken by this group of wives and concubines for wanting to accompany them for affection and love, so they all raised their eyebrows and tried their best to lean their bodies towards the prince's body, and they really wished that the whole person could not stick to his body.

"Because the concubine thinks of His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness has been gone for so long this time, but the concubine is worried, for fear that His Highness will be tired outside." A peerless beauty slowly walked out of the crowd, walked in front of the prince, stretched out her soft little hand and stretched out to him, trying to wrap around his shoulders, looking extremely delicate.

But the prince sideways avoided her outstretched hand, and said with a disgusted face: "This palace has been sleeping all the way, and I finally rushed back, I am not in the mood to play with you, you all go down, this palace wants to rest now." ”

"Your Highness is really hard, Yue'er is distressed, so how about letting Yue'er come and wait for His Highness to rest?" Yue'er is the most favored lady of all the wives and concubines in the palace, and the prince used to touch other ladies for her, and it was like this for several months, which made many ladies envious and jealous for a long time.

Just when the other concubines were so angry that their teeth were itching, the prince suddenly waved Yue'er away directly, without looking at her, with a cold face, and strode into the mansion.

As he walked, he also left indifferent and ruthless words to his concubines, "This palace said, don't bother me, if anyone doesn't listen, the end will be the same as Mrs. Yue." ”

After finishing speaking, he stepped into the main gate of the prince's mansion, leaving behind a group of warblers and warblers who fell into a state of panic silently, and a lady Yue who landed on the back of her head but was already dead, everyone's hearts were cold.

When he returned to the prince's mansion, the prince did not go to rest as he said, but went to the study, and ordered the butler to be summoned.

"Your Highness, what is the matter with recruiting the old slave?" The elderly butler followed the guard into the prince's study, bowed to him respectfully, bent down and asked respectfully, he already knew about the prince's death of Mrs. Yue in the mansion today, he had served the prince for many years, so he naturally knew his ruffianism, so he was also extra cautious in his words and deeds.

"Let me ask you, these days when I'm away, has there been any major events happening in Longteng?" The crown prince is eager to know what happened in the country during the time he left, and what is the direction of the palace, figuring out these will be a good help for the next step, after all, the situation is unclear now, the emperor's mind is unpredictable, and he really doesn't know what to do.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in recent months, the country has been calm, no different from when you left, and ...... I heard that King Rui is not in the palace either. ”
