"Your Highness? Your Highness? ”

Wen Mozheng woke up from his drowsiness with a thrill, and looked around in a panic only to find that it was Tang Jinyi calling him beside him, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his head.

Tang Jinyi took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped Wen Mozheng's forehead, and his tone was full of distress: "Has Your Highness been reading the folds all night again?" It's rare to go back here for a night, so stop thinking about all that mess and get a good night's sleep. ”

"I haven't stayed up much lately!" Wen Mozheng looked confused, and there was still deep exhaustion on his face, "I don't know why, I just feel weak, I can't do anything, and I often do this in the imperial study, and I started to doze off before I read a few books." Really, I still wonder if it's not like this when I live in the imperial study, but I didn't expect it to be like this when I returned to the palace, what else can I do? ”

The war in the south was tight, and the excerpts of asking for orders flew one after another, which really kept Wen Mozheng busy enough, but in just one or two months, his face was withered and thinned, and he felt scary no matter how he looked at it. Tang Jinyi sighed, picked up the soup bowl and blew it gently, scooped a spoonful of soup and sent it to Wen Mozheng's mouth: "Your Highness, drink a few sips of hot soup." You always said that you like to drink minced meat and coriander soup, and last night I specially asked the dining room to cook it, and it tasted good when it was hot. ”

No matter how much worry and sorrow there is, when Tang Jinyi is by his side, Wen Mozheng can always find a trace of peace and ease. took the soup bowl and took a sip, Wen Mozheng's smile gradually faded, and his brows furrowed a little dazed: "No, no!" The minced meat and coriander soup I drank didn't taste like this, it tasted much better than this. ”

Tang Jinyi was also very inexplicable: "The minced meat and coriander soup in the dining room is only one method, the meat is finely cut beef breast and lean meat, and the coriander is freshly picked, except for salt, no condiments are put in, and the heat time is also strictly limited. ”

"I don't know, in short, it's not as fragrant as I usually drink." Wen Mozheng pushed away the soup bowl in disappointment, tilted his head against Tang Jinyi's bulging abdomen, closed his eyes, and there was a trace of pain in his expression, "It may be my problem." Jinyi, I'm so uncomfortable, I always feel like I'm crawling with little insects, and it's uncomfortable to move. ”

Tang Jinyi was startled, and hurriedly reached out to touch Wen Mozheng's forehead: "Is Your Highness sick?" Or did you eat something unclean? ”

"Probably not, I don't go anywhere in the imperial study every day, all the food and drink are sent by the prime minister, I heard the prime minister say that Concubine Yun is afraid that I won't eat well, and every dish is cooked by her personally."

Wen Mozheng said it unintentionally, but Tang Jinyi was shocked when he heard it.

She still remembered that in the past, Wen Jingyuan often praised Concubine Yun's good cooking skills when he walked around the palaces, and later he simply only ate the food cooked by Concubine Yun; Now Wen Mozheng is the same, and what Wen Mozheng said is the same as when Wen Jingyuan's health began to be bad.

"Your Highness, you promise me one thing." Tang Jinyi calmed down and grabbed Wen Mozheng's hand, "Your Highness, remember, you can't eat what Concubine Yun made in the future, okay?" Don't ask me why, Jinyi only asks His Highness to grant this request. ”

Wen Mozheng became more and more puzzled, and his face was still a little embarrassed: "How can I promise you?" Suddenly, you asked me to tell Prime Minister Lian that I don't want to eat the food cooked by Concubine Yun, Concubine Yun and Prime Minister Lian will be careful, right? Besides, if I don't eat the food that is delivered, do you want me to go hungry? ”

"Then Your Highness will go back to the East Palace every day to eat." Tang Jinyi is still stubborn and insisting.

"This is not good, there is too much time wasted going back and forth every day, and now is an eventful time, and there are a lot of folds waiting for me to review, and I can't afford to toss!"

Wen Mozheng admits that he will not do anything if he is forced to delay state affairs. Tang Jinyi was helpless, so he had to sigh: "Then I will personally send three meals a day to His Highness, others should not be able to say anything, right?" ”

"If others don't say it, I have to say it!" This time, Wen Mozheng was in a hurry, grabbed Tang Jinyi, and deliberately made a fierce expression, "You are pregnant with a child, how can I let you run around?" It's early spring now, and the breeze is cool, so don't I want to die of distress if I blow you sick? ”

Such sweet and greasy words made Tang Jinyi ashamed and happy, pretending to be angry and gently pushing Wen Mozheng, but his thoughts still persisted: "The doctor said that you can't be too lazy when you are pregnant with a child, and it is best to walk every day." On weekdays, I'm bored in the East Palace, my legs, feet, shoulders and back are so idle that I can still walk around while I bring you food, isn't this a double win? Okay, I'm in charge of this matter, so it's decided, if Your Highness pushes back again, I have to think about it elsewhere. ”

Concubine Yun often goes in and out of the imperial study and all over the harem, although Wen Mozheng doesn't like it, she is embarrassed to say it clearly, and she is often worried that more contact with Concubine Yun will arouse Tang Jinyi's suspicion, and when she heard Tang Jinyi threaten like this, she immediately didn't dare to say anything more, and accepted the request honestly.

On the second day, Tang Jinyi specially instructed the dining room to prepare meals, put them in the food box and carried them by two little palace maids, and walked to the imperial study at noon, but was stopped before he reached the door.

"It turned out to be Prime Minister Lian. I heard His Royal Highness say that the state affairs have been busy recently, and the Prime Minister has worked hard to assist His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is not very good at speaking, and it just so happened that he met with Prime Minister Lian today, and His Royal Highness Jinyi thanked him. Facing Lian Song, Tang Jinyi pretended to be calm and responded calmly.

Lian Song glanced at the timid palace maid, and raised his hand slightly to signal the two of them to go and deliver food to Wen Mozheng first, leaving Tang Jinyi alone.

"Although the emperor has not officially canonized the four princes as the crown prince, the title of the prince of the prison country is equivalent to recognizing the identity of His Royal Highness, in other words, now Weichen should be called Miss Tang and the crown princess." Lian Song talked to herself, her every move was elegant and natural, but around Tang Jinyi, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the way she wanted to escape.

Tang Jinyi desperately suppressed the panic in his heart, and smiled far-fetchedly: "Prime Minister Lian is an important minister relied on by the emperor and His Royal Highness, and there is no need to be polite to me to do this to a woman who is not a big deal." Your Highness is busy with business, and I haven't eaten yet, so I'll go and serve first-"

Before Tang Jinyi could finish speaking, Lian Song suddenly reached out and grabbed Tang Jinyi's white wrist, his overly fair face suddenly approached, and the evil smile on the corner of his lips made Tang Jinyi tremble.

"The crown princess is afraid of me?"

"Prime Minister self-respect!" Tang Jinyi frowned angrily, trying to break free from the restraints, but Lian Song's strength was much greater than hers, and she couldn't resist at all.

In the past two months, the news of which concubine in the palace was bullied by Lian Song came out from time to time, Tang Jinyi knew that those were not rumors, but she didn't expect Lian Song to dare to tease her in broad daylight.

"I like smart women, especially smart and knowledgeable." Lian Song had no intention of hiding his evil deeds, he bent his fingers and scraped Tang Jinyi's cheeks, and his faint and ruthless smile made Tang Jinyi tremble. Looking down at the prey like a bird, Lian Song said in a light tone: "The crown princess is a smart person, she should understand the purpose of me asking the prince to bring you into the palace, if I want to do something to the princess, no one has the ability to stop me." So I hope that the crown princess will keep to herself, which will not only be good for the crown princess, but also good for the prince and the princess in the belly, otherwise...... Sometimes I don't even know what bad things I'm going to do. ”

There is no doubt that this is a direct and powerful threat.

The soft fingertips lingered on Tang Jinyi's cheeks for a long time, and the cold and slippery feeling made Tang Jinyi couldn't help but think of the poisonous snake spitting letters, and the overly white face in front of him seemed to coincide with the skin of the poisonous snake shining with cold luster.

"I ...... I know. Except to show weakness in a low voice, Tang Jinyi had no choice.

The chilling touch finally moved away, and it took Tang Jinyi a while to stand firm, and when he looked up tremblingly, the white figure representing terror was already far away.

"Niangniang ......" The little palace maid who was hiding not far away ran quickly, supporting Tang Jinyi on the left and right, her face was as white as paper, and she didn't even dare to look at Lian Song's back.

Tang Jinyi adjusted his breathing, and his trembling palms were quietly clenched.

"I'm fine, I must ...... I can do it. Whose strong figure and persistent expression flashed in his mind, Tang Jinyi muttered hoarsely.

The two little palace maids looked at each other blankly, no one understood what Tang Jinyi was talking about, they only knew that at that moment, the determined light that erupted in Tang Jinyi's eyes was something they had never seen in their lives.

※※※

The search for Wen Moqing went very smoothly, Yan Liwu and Ye Lingxi changed their clothes and painted their faces white, disguised as Hostu people and searched for six whole cities in other cities, but found nothing; The disciples of the Gentleman's Mansion and the Ranxue Pavilion scattered to other towns and even the capital also reported back, but no one could find the slightest trace of Wen Moqing.

After several days of exhaustion and disappointment, he had no desire to speak, and he sat in the tea shed on the edge of the city in the middle of the day, silent as a stone statue.

"Miss Yan, don't be too depressed, isn't it good news that there is no news? At least we didn't get any bad news. Young Master Wen is smart, his kung fu is good, ordinary people can't help him, we are all about to turn the other city upside down and still haven't found it, it is likely that Young Master Wen is no longer in the territory of Hosdu, maybe there is something to say before he has time to say hello and go back to the abyss first. ”

Gongsun Yanyu tried in vain to persuade him, and when he said that his mouth was dry, he even explained with a gesture, and it took a lot of effort to ask for a pot of tea from a store that didn't understand the Zhongzhou language. Ye Ling Xi was already so hot and irritable that he hurriedly poured two full cups, one was pushed in front of Yan Liwu, and the other was drunk before it fell off the table.

"Hiss-" Gasping suddenly, Ye Ling Xi opened his mouth wide, stunned inexplicably, "Why is this tea iced?!" ”

Gongsun Yanyu shook his head: "I don't know." It was hot in Hosto, and some of the restaurants and teahouses we went to had iced tea, but I don't know why it was icy, and the language barrier made it too difficult to talk. ”

"How many of them are from Zhongzhou, right? Where did you get it? A businessman-like man at the next table asked in fluent Zhongzhou dialect.

Hostu and Dayuan are at war, and it is tantamount to asking for trouble to say that he is a native of Yuanguo. Gongsun Yanyu's eyes rolled and he said with a smile: "We are from Nanqingguo, and we have relatives doing business here. The first time I came to your country, I didn't know a lot of things, which made this boss laugh. ”

"Since it's Nan Qingguo's, then everyone is a friend, and they are all friends." The merchant was quite hospitable, and shouted to the shopkeeper to call a plate of big meat and a pot of good tea, and pointed to the corner of the tea shed with a smile, "My friend hasn't drunk iced tea in Nanqingguo, right?" Here we are, iced tea is specialty. Look, the secret is there, we have an ice cellar in every house, it's hot, and there is ice in the wine and tea, and it's always cold! ”

Following the direction of the merchant, the shopkeeper was opening a hidden wooden door on the ground, and under the wooden door, the moist and cool air escaped faintly.

At that time, in the Anzhou Shipyard, Yan Liwu had also seen similar hidden hiding places.

"Gongsun, it seems that we haven't thoroughly searched this other city." A flash of his eyes flashed, and he let out a long sigh of worry, and smiled confidently, "This time, we really have to dig three feet into the ground." ”
