Chapter 157: Escape

As soon as he entered the yard, Lu Xin chased after him: "Big girl! ”

Xue Ke smiled: "Brother Lu has worked hard today!" You bring Mrs. Ye with you, and then go and see if the injured brother is okay. ”

Lu Xin originally wanted to say that those people were strong in kung fu and were by no means rabble, but seeing that Xue Ke's arrangement was quite tight, he also remembered the injured brother in his heart, so he shouted "yes" and ran over.

When Mrs. Ye came out of the carriage, although she was forced to calm down, she was still pale.

A few maids in the inner courtyard were serving Xue Ke to wash his face, Xue Ke raised his chin towards Mrs. Ye, Ah Liu understood, and ordered a few maids to serve Mrs. Ye to wash up.

After changing into homely clothes, Xue Ke leaned on the collapse, picked up the fragrant tea brewed on a few cases, took a deep breath, and looked at Ye.

"Madame, have you figured it out?"

Ye shook his head: "I have a few questions. ”

"Madame, excuse me." Xue Ke ordered someone to serve tea to the Ye family. Slowly plucking the tea leaves from the bowl with the lid of the cup. This Taiyuan Mansion does not produce tea, and all the tea drinks come from the south, which is indeed inferior to the East Palace.

"With all due respect, who are you the crown prince?"

Xue Ke spread his hands and said with a smile: "Madame, can't you see it?" ”

"I heard that the crown prince does not have a crown princess yet."

"Yes, I'm just one of the prince's concubines." Xue Ke replied calmly, and added: "No grade, no grade." ”

"Then did you go to Tianya Mountain at the behest of the prince? Can the prince admit the way out you said? ”

Xue Ke smiled: "Madam, I might as well be honest, I went to Tianya Mountain to find Madame on a whim, not at the behest of the prince." Seeing that Ye's face changed and changed, Xue Ke continued to write lightly: "Because Lord Jiang, in the eyes of His Royal Highness, is already a person who is bound to lose and die." ”

"Then why are you looking for me?" Ye Shi looked skeptical.

"I'm just trying to get some credit in front of His Highness and exchange some favor." Xue Ke put down the teacup: "Lord Jiang has been looting the people's fat and ointment all these years, embezzling taxes, colluding with the harem, and this time he is gathering people from the rivers and lakes to carry out assassinations, madam, don't you think your master's actions are a little crazy?" ”

Ye Shi didn't speak, and his face was decayed.

"Since His Royal Highness has come to Shanxi, he will naturally not let go of all this. As for the evidence in the hands of His Royal Highness, I don't know about it as a woman in the inner courtyard, I just heard that there are countless cases of suing Lord Jiang and Master Sanjiang over the years. ”

Xue Ke looked at the Ye clan and said, "Lord Jiang's charges are not something that he and the Qin clan can close the case alone. Therefore, if the lady is willing to leave a way for her three children to live, I am willing to be an introducer in front of the prince. ”

Ye's hand trembled slightly, obviously making great determination, finally closed his eyes, a line of tears flowed, and just about to speak, Xue Ke raised his hand to stop her: "Madame, don't worry, think slowly, go back to sleep tonight, and then make a decision." ”

"I'm willing to say."

"Okay." Xue Ke stared at her and said word by word: "But I still have to remind Madame that there is only one chance, if Madame has the slightest lie, His Highness may not have the patience I have." ”

Ye nodded dejectedly.

Xue Ke ordered someone to take the Ye family to a separate room, and asked the prince who were the subordinates who stayed there, and when he heard that Sun Mo was there, Xue Ke hurriedly ordered someone to invite him over.

The first time Xue Ke came into contact with Sun Mo was when the Western Regions mission came to Beijing, Sun Mo took out the letter that framed General Xue for injustice, and then saw Sun Mo many times in Suzhengtang, he was the prince's confidant, Xue Ke was naturally relieved.

Xue Ke briefly said today's events, and said: "Since Mrs. Ye is willing to report Lord Jiang at this time, Master Laosun will go to record the record." ”

Sun Mo couldn't help but be surprised and delighted when he heard what Xue Ke said: "Tang Niangzi is really a stroke of genius!" Your Highness is worried that there is no ironclad evidence! Yip must have first-hand evidence! ”

Xue Ke said with a smile: "My lord is too famous, and I also happened to meet it here." Follow-up screening and evidence collection are more troublesome, and adults have to worry more! ”

Sun Mo was stunned for a moment, he didn't have much contact with Xue Ke, he only knew that she was the prince's favorite woman, and he heard that many things were quite unreasonable, but he didn't expect her to speak humbly and politely.

He secretly glanced at Xue Ke, and suddenly remembered Nangong's drunken exclamation: "Old Sun, there is a kind of woman who can't be approached, just like this wine, it will be addictive, and then look at other women as tasteless as white water." ”

As soon as the prince arrived at the residence, Xue Ke's guards reported all the way to today's events. The prince only heard a cold sweat on his back, and he didn't bother to change his clothes, so he went directly to Xue Ke's room.

"What the hell is going on today?" When the prince entered the house, he first looked at Xue Ke, and when he saw that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, held her hand and asked.

"It's been a fruitful day." Xue Ke said with a smile: "Originally, I just went to try my luck, but I didn't expect them to send someone to follow the Ye family, I guessed"

Before Xue Ke finished speaking, the prince hugged her in his arms: "I'm asking about the hunt." ”

"Oh! They sent a few assassins who were not very good, but they were driven away by Brother Lu. Xue Ke said lightly.

Prince Tie let go of his hand with a blushing face, walked out of the room, and asked, "What about Commander Lu?" Let him go to the study and wait. ”

Xue Ke rushed out and sighed: "Your Highness, I'm fine, it's a big deal, let's talk about it after eating." ”

"You think I still have the heart to eat?" The prince didn't go back to the study.

Xue Ke looked at Ah Liu: "What should I do?" Maybe you'll be angry when you come back, so let's eat first! ”

Ah Liu nodded in agreement.

Lu Xinzheng had a stomach to say, and when he saw the prince, he said it as it was.

In the end, Lu Xin couldn't help but say: "That's not a thief at all, I look like they are all children of the rivers and lakes, just by virtue of that corpse, I will definitely be able to find out!" ”

The prince was terrified when he heard this, and after a little analysis, he knew the situation at that time, and patiently explained: "The imperial court has always kept a distance from the rivers and lakes, so what if you find out which sect it is?" Sent troops to kill them? Several major sects in the rivers and lakes have deep roots and are intricate, so it is better to let go. ”

The prince paused and said: "Besides, in that situation at that time, it was obvious that Zhou Shiyuan was guarding there, and once the dispute started, it was inevitable that he would not jump off the wall in a hurry." ”

The more the prince thought about it, the more frightened he felt.

Lu Xin looked at the prince in a daze: "Lord Zhou also dares to have the idea of extinguishing his mouth?" ”

The prince snorted coldly, and patted Lu Xin on the shoulder again: "Eighth child, thanks to you!" ”

Lu Xin scratched his head, thought about it and said truthfully: "Your Highness, in fact, today is thanks to Ah Liu." Then he recounted the story of the Assassin rushing to the carriage.

Lu Xin's eloquence was good, and he compared how the person rushed over and what moves he made. Seeing that the prince's face was getting worse and worse, he finally stopped his mouth in hindsight.

The prince took a deep breath before entering Xue Ke's house, while comforting himself that the matter had passed and she was safe and sound.

When I entered the room, I saw food on the table, and Xue Ke sat at the table with his hands on his cheeks.

Seeing the prince come in, Xue Ke pouted: "I'm finally back, I'm hungry when you eat." ”

"You haven't eaten yet?" Although the prince has a bad tone, he is a little distressed.

"I want to wait for you to eat together." Xue Ke gently pulled the prince's sleeve with two fingers, and the prince snorted and sat beside her.

"I'm frightened today, Your Highness, it's easy to have a little appetite now, and I want to drink soup." Xue Ke looked at the prince with water and said cautiously.

The prince sighed and resigned himself to giving her a bowl of soup.

Xue could use a spoon to stir around in the soup, and Ah Liu secretly wondered if she could drink another bowl of soup after eating.

"Why don't you drink it again?" The prince knew that it was best to ignore her at the moment, and then criticize her smoothly, but he still couldn't help but ask.

"I'm afraid you'll scold me." Xue Ke bit his lip: "Thinking of this, I can't even drink it." ”

The prince endured and endured, and finally said, "I won't scold you." You have a good meal. ”

Xue Ke raised a bright smile, seeing that the prince's heart moved, and at this time, he wanted to keep a straight face and felt as if he had missed the hour.

Xue Ke watched the prince finish eating and ordered someone to collect the table.

"Why haven't you eaten much, is it uncomfortable, do you want to call the imperial doctor to come over and ask for a pulse?"

"Don't, don't." Xue could see that there was no one in the room, so he walked over and leaned on the prince's back, and said with a smile in his ear: "I was so hungry just now, I ate a little bit before you came back." ”

The prince turned around, hugged her sideways to his lap, and hit her twice.

Although he didn't use force, Xue Ke still stood up angrily and rubbed his buttocks.

Seeing that she was puffing up, the prince sighed, hugged her on his lap, and asked, "When did you know that there was an ambush?" ”

Xue Ke turned his head and ignored him.

The prince threatened: "It seems that there was too little fight just now." As he spoke, he tried to turn her over.

Xue Ke turned his head sharply and glared at him.

After a long time, he said: "Just enter the backyard of the nunnery." ”

The fire in the prince's heart rose again, and he tried to suppress it before he calmly asked, "Then why don't you withdraw immediately?" ”

Xue Ke was actually a little proud in his heart: "It was originally a bit of luck, and I didn't expect to really gain anything, but when I found out that there was an ambush, I knew that there was a lot of article in it, and the Ye family must have a lot of evidence, how about it?" Did I guess right? ”

"I ask you why you didn't withdraw at that time?" The prince struggled to maintain his composure.

"Withdraw? What should I do if I withdraw them and take the Ye clan away? Where do you look? What should I do if I kill my mouth? ”

"So you have to take the Ye clan away and force them to do something to you?"

Seeing that Xue Ke didn't speak, the prince continued to teach: "The son of a daughter, you can't sit down, do you understand?" ”

"Don't miss the opportunity, don't you know?" Xue Ke replied not to be outdone.

The prince's temples jumped suddenly.

Xue Ke finally smelled a hint of danger from the prince's expression, and wanted to escape from him, but he was tightly clamped by him. After twisting it twice and seeing that he couldn't break free, he bit his lip at the moment and looked at the prince with an innocent face:

"How did I know they would do it, scared to death! Your Highness, you touch it, my heart is still beating hard! ”

She wanted to pull the prince's hand, but she couldn't, so she stuck it on and wanted the prince to listen.

The prince knew in his heart that he must not indulge the woman in front of him at this time, and should let her remember today's lesson, but after all, he just said: "Okay, Tangtang, don't twist around anymore." ”

"Oh!" Xue Ke heard this, and immediately sat upright on him.

"From now on, until the internal spies are discovered, you are not allowed to go out alone."

Xue Ke nodded obediently: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm waiting for His Highness at home every day." ”

Well, whether she is really well-behaved or not, the prince has been assured by her, and his heart is a little more settled. He kissed her neck and exhaled slowly.

After bathing, Xue Ke came out in a yukata. Today is chasing and running, she took a bath thoroughly, felt refreshed, and at this time lying on the cool bed in the courtyard, the maid on the side was smoking her hair with a rose smoker.

The sky is dark and the night is deep, and the moon is on the window, but I see the Milky Way, and the jade leaks all the way. Xue Kexian was still looking at the starry sky with his eyes open, and his eyelids gradually became heavier and heavier.

Just fell asleep, but heard the prince's voice: "Tangtang, sleep again later, your hair is not dry, be careful of headaches." ”

Xue Ke lightly "um" and turned over. I felt a light and heavy pressure on my scalp, which was very comfortable, and I closed my eyes and said in a daze: "I haven't slept, I'll rest for a while." ”

The prince was amused in his heart, knowing that she was playing tricks, and said softly: "There is news from Sun Mo's side." ”

Xue Ke opened his eyes suddenly: "What did the Ye family say?" ”

I saw the prince sitting in the position of the little girl before, massaging her head with one hand, and smoking her hair with the other, the prince said slowly: "You will ask yourself tomorrow." ”

Xue Ke carefully looked at the prince's smiling face, guessing that he was coaxing her, his little face wrinkled, and he snorted.

Although Xue Ke closed his eyes again, he was sleepy and couldn't sleep, and asked with or without a pair: "When did you come over?" ”

"Just came here."

Xue Ke smelled the smell of smoke on his sleeve and said, knowing that he was here for a while, he sat up, put down the smoker in his hand and said, "This weather, your hair will dry after a while, don't worry about it." ”

When the prince saw that her hair was almost dry, he went up to her and sat down on the bed.

The prince had just finished bathing, and there was a fresh smell on his body. Xue Ke lay on him softly and sniffed softly.

The prince felt Xue Ke's nose rubbing against the back of his shoulder, and his previous anger had already turned into a puddle of water, and he wanted to reach out to hug her, but Xue Ke slapped his hand away: "Don't touch me!" ”

"What's wrong again?" The prince was a little helpless.

"You murdered me today and beat me."

"That's not" It's just that before he finished speaking, he felt a small lilac tongue gently lick and bite his earlobe, and in an instant his body was agitated, and the rest of the words were swallowed into his stomach, just gasping, and a low moan escaped from his throat.

As soon as the prince closed his eyes, he felt Xue Ke stop again, and called out "sugar candy" in a low voice, half puzzled and half begging.

Xue Ke smiled in his ear and asked, "Are you happy?" ”

The prince couldn't help but let out a "hmm".

"How jolly? Was there an afternoon when you beat me? ”

The prince knew that she was still holding grudges, but the current situation was stronger than others, so he obediently shut up and did not speak.

Xue Ke was still angry when he thought about the events in the afternoon, but his voice became sweeter and sweeter: "Which manual hand is it in the afternoon?" ”
