Chapter 296: Banditry

"Prepare the carriage and go to Prince Gong's mansion."

Once she noticed that something was wrong, Lin Zuiliu's work efficiency became much higher, she spoke coldly, and the people under her hands immediately went to do their own business.

Cui He knew that Lin Zuiliu was going out, so he hurriedly took her a long-haired cloak and draped it on her body, and then went to fetch a hot soup woman and handed it to Lin Zuiliu.

"Princess, are we going to Prince Gong's Mansion to find the prince?" Lin Zuiliu didn't answer her question, only took a step out of the door, looked at the heavy weather outside and didn't even have a little light on the moon, and pursed her lips.

When she went to Prince Gong's mansion, she naturally wouldn't really think that Liao Luan was there, after all, if he could go to Prince Gong's mansion, he would have returned to his own palace a long time ago.

She just wanted to go over and see if Qi Jingxuan had come back, if he came back, then this matter was Liao Luan's own business.

If he didn't come back, then Lin Zuiliu would have to feel that this matter involved Qi Jingxuan.

The scary thing is that she didn't know what was going on, and now she seemed clueless.

The subordinates of the Zhennan Wangfu are very efficient, but after a while, the carriage is ready.

Lin Zuiliu didn't say much to be verbose, and stepped directly on the stool and got into the carriage, and only let Cui He, a maid who knows martial arts, follow, and took advantage of the night to go to Prince Gong's mansion.

Speaking of which, Prince Gong's Mansion is really not far from their Zhennan Palace, after all, on the entire Suzaku Street, even the alleys are divided according to your status.

Although Prince Gong and Prince Gong's son are not in the capital all the year round, after all, their status is very high, so the place where the palace is located is also expensive.

So when the carriage stopped, Lin Zuiliu frowned without a trace when he saw the entire Prince Gong's mansion immersed in the dark night.

The palace guard driving the carriage got out of the carriage and knocked on the door, and soon someone answered from the inside, and the sound also reached the carriage.

"It turned out to be the Zhennan Palace, our prince has come back, but I drank a little too much, and I have fallen asleep at this time." It should be the butler of Prince Gong's Mansion who speaks.

Prince Gong is not in the capital all the year round, and there are no female dependents in the palace, so the palace in the capital is relatively depressed.

There are few people, so if the master sleeps, the whole palace will be directly plunged into darkness.

She heard the guard speak, "I wonder if the king of Zhennan is here now?" In fact, when the housekeeper said that Qi Jingxuan had fallen asleep, she knew that Liao Luan was naturally not here.

It's just that she doesn't know, she said that she was going to go to a horse race, why did she say that she drank too much or something at this time.

Thinking about it, if she didn't go in and really asked Qi Jingxuan, she didn't want to get any other news today, thinking of this, Lin Zuiliu got up and got out of the carriage with an expressionless face.

The guard probably didn't expect his hostess to really get out of the car, so he was startled at first, and then hurriedly bowed down and said to the housekeeper beside him: "This is our princess." ”

The current status of this male princess should not be underestimated, and Qi Jingxuan himself also respects these two princes and princesses, so when he heard this introduction, the housekeeper immediately bowed down.

"The slave has seen the princess of Zhennan."

"Excuse me." Lin Zuiliu specially rushed to Prince Gong's mansion, naturally not to let him give herself a salute, she didn't want to delay her work, and said directly: "I don't know if I can see your prince at this time, Concubine Ben has something to tell him." ”

The housekeeper seemed to be a little hesitant on his face, because when Qi Jingxuan came back, his state was really not good.

However, he was afraid that Princess Zhennan really had something to do with their family, so he only hesitated for a while, and then said: "Princess, come in and wait for a while, and let the servants call our son." ”

Lin Zuiliu naturally had no reason not to agree, she bowed her head, and soon sat down in the hall with the housekeeper.

To be honest, it's not too late, although Qi Jingxuan has already fallen asleep, but the maids in the palace are still awake.

Soon I was going to watch the clever little maid pour tea for Lin Zuiliu, and then stood aside very obediently.

Probably Qi Jingxuan slept a little deeply, or maybe he cleaned up a little in order to come over to see Lin Zuiliu, anyway, after a long time, the housekeeper came over to say to Lin Zuiliu that Qi Jingxuan was over.

Lin Zuiliu, who had been waiting for a little irritability, hurriedly straightened his mind and sat there with his eyes straight at the door.

Soon a person appeared at the door, it was Qi Jingxuan. He was wearing ordinary civilian clothes, and his hair looked a little messy because he had just gotten up, but to Lin Zuiliu's surprise, the corners of this person's eyes were actually blue.

Not only the corners of the eyes, but also the lips are a little scratched, and it looks a little cute like a child fighting.

Lin Zuiliu didn't hold back, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her expression was captured by Qi Jingxuan, who was very embarrassed, and Qi Jingxuan, who was originally blushing, turned even redder.

"Sister-in-law, are you actually laughing at me?" Hearing him say this, Lin Zuiliu smiled even more heartily, and then thought that he was here with something serious now.

"I heard that the prince went out with you today, why haven't you come back yet, I'll come and ask."

"Huh? Brother Liao hasn't returned home yet? We've been separated for a long time! Qi Jingxuan said, suddenly patting his thigh, "Oh, he won't go back again." ”

There was no beginning or end to what she said, Lin Zuiliu didn't understand what it meant at all, she frowned, and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Qi Jingxuan's expression looked a little ugly, and he was a little embarrassed, and in the end, he was probably really afraid that something would happen to Liao Luan, so he raised his head and looked at Lin Zuiliu as if he was out of the way.

"Today, I went out for horse racing with Brother Liao and a few other sons." Lin Zuiliu knew about this, so she nodded, and then listened to Qi Jingxuan continue: "Originally, Brother Liao said not to go far, but I didn't follow it, so I went to the official road, and then I didn't expect that this group of bandits was simply lawless." ”

Brigand?

Lin Zuiliu suddenly remembered that Liao Luan had only told him a few years ago, and he didn't know when it started, and there were more and more bandits in the North Ring Road.

If you want to come to the Northern Ring Country, there will be no natural disasters and man-made disasters, and there should be no bandits if there are no displaced people.

But these bandits appeared out of nowhere.

Now listening to Qi Jingxuan's words, has he already come to the capital? So arrogant?

However, thinking of the possible situation, Lin Zuiliu couldn't help but smile and said, "So what do you mean...... And this wound on your body? ”

"That's right, we met bandits on the road, this group of short-sighted things actually wanted to rob us, I dumped Brother Liao at that time, but unfortunately I didn't learn well, so the bandits beat us."

No wonder this young man pretended to be drunk, and as soon as he came back, he nested in the room, and the dignified prince was beaten by a group of bandits, and he should feel embarrassed.

"Later, the man snatched our money, and by the time Brother Liao came over, the group of bandits had already gone." It's a bit difficult to get a young man to admit that he is inferior to others and to be beaten.

Lin Zuiliu was also very intimate and didn't laugh at him anymore, but asked, "So you mean to say, is the prince going to find that group of bandits now?" ”

Qi Jingxuan's brows frowned, "I'm most afraid of this, those bandits look like five big and three coarse, with a fierce face, although Brother Liao is strong in martial arts, but I'm afraid of ......"

After speaking, he seemed to have made up his mind, "Let's go, sister-in-law, let's go to Brother Liao together, I must rescue Brother Liao." ”

The kid said one thing is another, and if he wants to play one thing, Lin Zuiliu laughed twice, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "You don't have to go together, look at your face, let's rest in the palace, Yan Gui is fine." ”

It's not that she doesn't care about Liao Luan, it's just that Liao Luan is originally a very smart person, and if she is not prepared, she will never go to catch up and be beaten.

So she didn't worry much about his safety now, but she was a little puzzled, why didn't he come back at this point?

"Now that I know his whereabouts, I won't stay any longer and leave first." With that, Lin Zuiliu stood up and was about to leave.

"Or I'll go with you, Brother Liao doesn't know what danger he will encounter?"

"Don't, I'll just go by myself, you let the housekeeper give you a good dose of medicine and a good rest." After speaking, Lin Zuiliu didn't say a word, turned around and walked out of Prince Gong's mansion.

Behind him, Qi Jingxuan's voice was still far away, and the wind came over, saying, "If you have anything, you can come to me, sister-in-law, don't see outside." ”

Lin Zuiliu pursed his lips and smiled, then sighed and walked out of Prince Gong's mansion.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the wind was blowing, Lin Zuiliu had just come out of the warm place, and couldn't help shaking, and he subconsciously wrapped his cloak tightly.

According to Qi Jingxuan's words, they met the group of bandits on the official road south of the capital, so it means that the group of bandits' stockade should also be in the south.

"Follow the road to the south." She gave the order coldly, and then the carriage went very steadily into the darkness.

At this time, the sky had darkened, the gates of the capital had been closed, and the defenders of the city yawned and shrunk into a ball, probably a little cold.

The sound of the carriage rolling by made this side of the world noisy, and the guards guarding the city immediately stirred up, and then roared: "Who is it in the middle of the night?" ”

It may be that the sky is too dark, and he didn't see the Zhennan Wangfu mark on the carriage, so the palace guards cleverly stopped the car, then got off the carriage and hugged the guards guarding the city gate.

"The princess of Zhennan is in the carriage, and there is something important to go out of the city, please make it convenient."
