In the past few days, there are quite a few people in the Kangning Palace who are in danger.

Although His Royal Highness the Second Prince was not angry, someone broke into the palace that day and destroyed a room, and this matter has spread in the palace. This is a great culpability for the subordinates in the Kangning Palace.

The more the second prince remained silent, the more frightened the palace people became.

There is also a small matter, which is related to the proton Tongguang princess of the Western Regions Ryuk Kingdom.

It is said that the recent expedition to the west, the Ryū Kingdom participated in the rebellion, the emperor originally read the love of his adopted daughter, and was not punished, but Princess Tongguang was ashamed and indignant when she learned about it, and hanged herself in Langhuan Palace.

In Yonghe Palace, Li Zhuer was still crying bitterly.

Bai Heng didn't know how to dissuade him.

He was originally worried that Li Zhuer would not be able to hide things in his heart, so he did not tell her about Lu Zhaoling's escape in advance. Who knew that the emperor didn't plan to arrest Lu Zhaoling and bring him back to the palace, and made up a reason for "hanging himself" to prevaricate in the past.

As soon as Li Zhu'er heard that Lu Zhaoling was dead, her eyes went black and fainted, and she began to cry loudly when she woke up.

But now that Bai Heng has roughly explained the truth to Li Zhuer, she still can't stop crying.

"Then, is Zhao Ling never coming back?" Li Zhuer said intermittently while crying.

“…… Be. Bai Heng sighed.

"W-That...... Shen Gongzi, he, where is he going to take Zhao Ling? "Li Zhu'er pumped and shook.

"I don't know."

"Then why did you just let him take Zhao Ling away! Why did Zhao Ling escape? Is it because of the rebellion of the Ryu Kingdom? Father is not, didn't say it, he didn't plan to pursue it! Why do you still have to take Zhao Ling away! Li Zhu'er still couldn't accept it.

Bai Heng was silent.

Even if there is no Bai Xi, Lu Zhaoling's situation in this palace is already very dangerous, and the emperor can use the rebellion as a reason to take Lu Zhaoling's life at any time.

People like Lu Zhaoling should not be trapped in such a palace, at the mercy of others from their actions to their lives.

Bai Heng was also worried about whether Lu Zhaoling would have a hard time after leaving the palace, the situation in the country had changed, and she was homeless. But he knew that no matter what, Lu Zhaoling should not spend his life in the palace in Anping.

And all this, he didn't know how to explain it to Li Zhu'er.

He could only silently accompany the grieving Li Zhu'er.

After crying for a few days, Li Zhu'er looked much haggard.

Bai Heng didn't know how to comfort her, she said that she wanted to go home and have a look, so Bai Heng accompanied her back to the General's Mansion.

The general's mansion was also deserted, General Li went on the expedition, and there were only Li Zhu'er's two brothers in the mansion.

Li Yu deliberately took leave from the training ground and waited for Li Zhuer at home.

"Why are you so emaciated? I lost a lot of weight. Li Yu looked at Li Zhu'er with a sad look on her face and said distressedly.

"It's me who doesn't take care of it." Bai Heng sighed lightly.

Li Zhu'er looked depressed and didn't seem to want to speak.

"I've heard about Princess Tongguang." Li Yu said with a look of regret, "I was fortunate to have an intersection with Princess Tongguang during the autumn hunt, which is really embarrassing. ”

Li Zhu'er moved her mouth, but in the end she didn't speak, but her eyes began to redden.

"Zhu'er has been crying for days because of this." Bai Heng said.

Li Yu glanced at Li Zhu'er, was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Although I have a very short relationship with Princess Tongguang, I always feel that she is not like a person who can hang herself......"

Li Zhu'er saw that the tears were about to burst again, and Li Yu hurriedly persuaded: "But the deceased is gone, so don't think about it......"

Hearing "The deceased is gone", Li Zhuer finally cried out with a "wow-".

Li Yu looked embarrassed and at a loss.

Bai Heng sighed, hugged Li Zhu'er's head to his chest, stroked her hair, and whispered a few words of comfort.

Li Zhu'er finally stopped crying.

"I've never been good at coaxing children." Li Yu said embarrassedly.

Li Zhu'er was still sobbing, glared at Li Yu, and finally spoke: "I'll ask you!" At the beginning, I specially sent someone to ask my father, is there anything about the Ryuk Kingdom in this expedition to the west, why did my father tell me that there is none? ”

"This ...... How do I know ......," Li Yu said helplessly.

"How could you not know? Daddy will tell you everything! "Li Zhu'er is aggressive.

"Alas, maybe Your Majesty didn't intend to pursue this matter, so he didn't make a public announcement about the Ryuk Kingdom." Li Yu sighed.

He remembered that he had told Lu Zhaoling during the autumn hunt that when the Western Expedition was over, she might be able to return to her homeland.

I didn't expect it to be ...... now If he gave Lu Zhaoling hope at the beginning, looking at it now, it seems really cruel.

How could such a person hang himself?

Li Yu was also unable to let go of his heart.

Li Zhu'er breathed a sigh at her brother, ate another meal of her brother's cooking, and finally felt a little more comfortable. But she didn't want to go back to the palace, so she instigated Yong Bai Heng to take her for a walk in Jingyang City.

"Zhao Ling hasn't been out of the palace for a long time, and I don't know what happened to Niu Da Niu Er, let's go see them." Li Zhu'er whispered.

"Okay." Bai Heng easily agreed, and he also wanted to freely visit this Jingyang City, the place where he had laughed with Lu Zhaoling.

The two of them changed into civilian clothes and quietly slipped out of the General's Mansion to the blacksmith's house.

Familiar paths, familiar courtyards.

There was no one in the courtyard at the moment, but there was a flickering fire in the house, and the clanging of iron.

"Niu Da - Niu Er - Are you at home?" Li Zhu'er shouted into the room.

The sound of striking iron in the house suddenly stopped, and then a "clang" was heard, as if the people in the house had thrown the guy in their hands to the ground, and then the cow pooped and rushed out of the house.

"Boss! Is it the boss?! He shouted excitedly in a thick voice.

When he saw that there were only Li Zhuer and Bai Heng in the courtyard, and there was no boss, he was obviously disappointed.

"Oh, it's you two. What about the boss? Niu Da asked anxiously.

Neither of them spoke for a moment.

Niu Da looked back and forth a few times, and said anxiously to Li Zhu'er: "What's the matter?" I see that your face is not very good, is there something wrong with the boss? ”

A rather stout boy blushed with anxiety and was about to burst into tears.

Bai Heng hurriedly said, "Zhao Ling is fine. She...... She left Jingyang, went to the chivalrous scene, and asked us to come and see you and Niu Er. ”

"Oh......" Niu Da nodded, still looking very lost.

"Why didn't the boss say a word, and didn't come to say a few words...... Niu Da muttered.

"She's walking more quickly...... Bai Heng explained weakly.

"Is the Boss back?" Niu asked.

Bai Heng was silent.

"Ugh." Niu Da sighed, "I know, the boss has to go, and the hero has to go to the rivers and lakes." Our brothers are just two iron-strikers, and they don't have much ability, and they can't help the boss with a dead face. I thought that I might be able to give her a weapon before the boss left Jingyang. I'm not much of an expert, but the boss's scimitar is so good that I don't think it's for her. Alas, it still didn't catch up. I can't do it, and I can't fight a sword worthy of the boss. ”。

Niu Daxu chattered for a while, looking very lonely and a little aggrieved.
