What kind of "treatment" will be received if you are accused of marrying the prince but fleeing, there has never been a precedent in the history books of the Yuan Kingdom, and Yan Li thought that this was probably not an unforgivable crime, otherwise on the way to Dingyuan County, why didn't you even see half of the card check?

Xu is road is too easy, so that after successfully arriving in Dingyuan County, he did not have the slightest sense of relief. In order not to implicate the innocent King of Dingyuan, several people lived in a small inn in the main city of Dingyuan County after discussion, Zhong Yue went out for a long time, and made sure that Dingyuan County did not hide the pursuit of people who were worried about it, and relieved to invite Bi Xiao from the Dingyuan Palace.

The three sisters haven't seen each other for more than half a year, especially Bi Xiao and Ye Ling Xi, they finally got together again, and Fang chattered non-stop as soon as they met, who would have thought that these three young women with happy and excited faces would actually be the heroines guarding the border of the Great Abyss and the young master of the famous Junzilou who moved the world? From the sunshine to the sunset, the three of them each told about what happened since they were separated, and when they talked about the current situation, Bi Xiao couldn't help but fall into worry.

"Zhong Yue came to me before the prince received a letter from the imperial capital, the letter said that the senior brother had made some mistakes and was placed under house arrest by the emperor, but the specific reason was not explained, if I hadn't heard you talk about it myself, I really couldn't believe that the senior brother had caused such a big disaster. But things are not too bad, as Liwu said, now the emperor has no evidence that the senior brother sent Liwu out of the palace, and the house arrest for a period of time will probably not be over, I am afraid that someone will make trouble behind and continue to expand the situation. ”

"Lian Song and Concubine Yun?" Yan Liwu was not surprised by Bi Xiao's speculation, "The people who attacked us that day only killed the three of them, and when they met me, they would try to avoid key attacks, and the whole world wanted to trap me in a disadvantageous situation and didn't want me to die so easily, thinking about it, there was only Concubine Yun." ”

Ye Ling Xi heard Concubine Yun's name being mentioned repeatedly, and couldn't help but interject: "Why does that woman always target you?" Are you jealous that you are prettier than her or are you jealous that everyone likes you? has a sick brain, but it's just a concubine, isn't it self-defeating to run out and interfere in government affairs? A Qinglian King has already made the civil and military officials deeply hateful, does she want to repeat the mistake of becoming the second Qinglian King? ”

Yan Li shook his head worriedly: "Concubine Yun has Lian Song's help, and all the bad things are done without leakage." Let's take the image as an example, she shows her hypocrisy on weekdays, promising all kinds of benefits to the wall grass that can be wooed, and putting on a low-key posture of never interfering in the political affairs of the previous dynasty for those upright courtiers; The concubines in the harem who don't often come into contact with her say that she is very good, and the emperor takes the initiative to push or transfer any reward to other concubines, and many concubines who were originally jealous of her favor were slowly influenced by her hypocrisy. In general, except for a very small number of people who know her true face, the rest of the people are either sincere or forced by the situation, and most of the people who are grateful and praise her account for her. ”

"No matter how cautious the emperor is, he can't prevent the wind on his pillow. Those men in our army, usually all of them can fight and kill, once they meet a girl, their legs tremble and they can't walk, what do they say, what do they believe, that's why they say that they are red-faced and troubled! ”

Ye Ling Xi's emotional tone made De Bi Xiao laugh out loud: "You girl who has no way to talk, you dare to say anything." ”

Ye Lingxi, who has lived in the army with her brother since she was a child, has a manly and hearty personality, and many cumbersome etiquette and literati rules are not worth mentioning in her opinion, so she is always straightforward and casual when she talks, and she can make people laugh when she talks casually.

It's just that Yan Liwu seems to have forgotten how to put on a smile, and even if he tries to pull the corners of his lips, what he shows is only a difficult expression.

Bi Xiao quietly observed that Yan Li was worried for a long time, and kicked Ye Ling Xi lightly under the table, with a gentle smile on his face: "Ling Xi, you go to sleep in the next room tonight, I haven't seen Li Xi for a long time, and I have a lot to say." ”

Ye Ling Xi handed over an inquiring look, and when he saw Bi Xiao silently returning his gaze, he nodded: "Then I'll go to rest first, I'm really tired after a day of driving." Don't worry, remember to get up early tomorrow morning, and say that you want to accompany me to the street! ”

"Got it, I'll look for you when I wake up."

Seeing Ye Ling Xi away, Ling Xi closed the door, and Bi Xiao sat down opposite Yan Liwu and looked straight ahead: "When you come back this time, you have been silent about the second prince and senior brother. ”

"There's nothing to say, so why talk about them?"

At the beginning of the farewell, he was twisted back by Bi Xiao: "In the past, when you mentioned the second prince, you were full of words, why do you have nothing to say now?" It was inconvenient for me to ask Zhong Yue and them before, but now you can honestly explain, what happened between you when you were in the imperial capital? ”

Bi Xiao is delicate and the best at observing words and feelings, and she knows that she can't hide it, so she lowered her head and was silent for a moment, and told the things after entering the palace one by one, naturally including the envoys of the five countries and marriages.

"Chen Niang asked me if I would like to do a side room, at first I thought that Chen Niang felt sorry for His Royal Highness and asked privately, and then Boss Jun told me that the emperor had talked to His Royal Highness about marriage before that, and I realized that he had such an idea in his heart, but it was difficult to say it before Chen Niang spoke on his behalf." After talking for a long time, Yan Liwu was a little thirsty, but he couldn't remember that there was a pot of fragrant tea at hand, and his eyes were sluggish and gloomy, "I understand his difficulties, and I also know that the emperor is somewhat deliberately making things difficult, but I can't accept his way of dealing with it - why should I let others ask me, can't I make it clear to me in person?" When Wen Moqing asked me what I would do, I also firmly said that I would work with His Highness to find a way, but I really didn't expect that the only person who was willing to find a way was me. Even if His Highness promised to live for the rest of his life afterwards, those words would become meaningless after knowing the truth. ”

"You are a prince, even if you enjoy glory and wealth, fine clothes and food, many things still can't be the master, how easy is it to really choose the person you like to accompany you for a lifetime? I can understand the contradiction between the two princes, and I can also understand your disappointment, in the end, this matter will not be able to have the best of both worlds. Bi Xiao sighed, looking a little hesitant, "Liwu, you have your character, unlike other women, you like freedom, advocate equality, and every thought and action is unique." I don't know what feelings should be like in your hometown or your concept, but in the family of the Son of Heaven, a lifetime and a couple is just a dream, especially for those who want to ascend to the throne of God, without the support of many strong imperial relatives, such an emperor will not be able to move an inch at all. ”

Yan Li smiled bitterly: "So, if I want to stick to my principles, I can only give up this relationship, right?" ”

"No, I mean, maybe you can choose someone who is more suitable for you to be around." Bi Xiao looked at Yan Liwu with a smile, and suddenly lowered her body and leaned into her ear and whispered, "Ling Xi has told me, you are no longer just an ordinary friend with your senior brother, right?" In that case......"

"I'm sorry, I don't want to talk about that right now. Rest early, there may be a lot more to do tomorrow. Yan Li scribbled to end the conversation, got up and laid out the bedding on the two adjacent beds, and stretched tiredly.

After all, it was someone else's private matter, Bi Xiao didn't want to be too forceful, and when she heard the sound in the corridor outside, she picked up the teapot and went out: "I'll go see if Ling Xi is asleep, and by the way, I want a pot of hot tea, you rest first." ”

After Bi Xiao left the room, he didn't go to look for Ye Lingxi, but went straight to the side of the stairs, knocked on the handrail, and then waited quietly.

"She slept?" After a while, a figure turned out at the end of the stairs in the front hall, looking up at Bi Xiao faintly.

Bi Xiao shook her head: "I said I wanted to sleep, how could I sleep with a full stomach?" Just now I quietly put two cocoon pills in the tea, and when I came out, I saw that she seemed to be a little sleepy, but I hope I can sleep peacefully. By the way, senior brother, did the emperor let you out, or did you sneak out of the palace? ”

After saying that he was "gone" in the palace, the prince of Dingyuan "disappeared" Wen Moqing, miraculously appeared in the small inn of Dingyuan County at this time, a servant and a little depressed, but the elegance hidden in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes did not change in the slightest.

"Go outside and say, don't disturb her rest." Glancing at the quiet staircase, Wen Moqing whispered. found a small shop outside the inn that had not yet closed, Wen Moqing ordered a pot of hot tea and a bowl of noodle soup, and sighed with satisfaction after gobbling up his stomach: "I sneaked out of the palace, and when I chased Zhong Yue and their hiding place, the person was no longer there, and after seeing the code he left, I chased all the way." ”

Bi Xiao looked at Wen Moqing's slightly messy hair, and felt a little distressed: "Didn't you rest on the road?" Look at you, you don't have a good face, and you're a lot thinner than the last time you saw you. ”

"I caught up with them before I arrived in the county, and I was worried that I would lose them again if I was careless, so I simply stayed up all night." Wen Moqing held the hot tea and consciously explained before Bi Xiao got annoyed, "There is nothing wrong with the imperial capital, there is no evidence that I sent her away, and the emperor will not do anything to me, just like I directly refused to marry, and he didn't have the courage to do anything to me." However, we should be more careful here, Lian Song will not give up easily, and I do not rule out the possibility of continuing to send people over. ”

"A courtier, why is that person so obsessed with leaving worries? If it was for Concubine Yun, wouldn't it be in line with their wishes to drive them out of the palace? Sometimes I wish I could help when I watched you and Li Sorrow deal with it, but I couldn't do anything but watch from the sidelines, so I could only persuade her in vain, but it didn't work. ”

As a person in the rivers and lakes but has to worry about the messy things in the harem of the imperial court, Bi Xiao blames herself and feels helpless at the same time, looking up at Wen Moqing, her thin cheeks revealing tiredness are also as wry as her.

is not only the prince who wanders on the edge of the court, but also the young master of the gentleman's mansion who enters and exits the rivers and lakes of Wulin, Wen Moqing's complex identity is destined to take a more tortuous road than ordinary people, and Bi Xiao, Zhong Yue and other people close to him naturally have to suffer a lot of hardship. Bi Xiao didn't feel too deeply before, but since Yan Liwu appeared, she gradually realized that the harem of the former dynasty was completely different from the troubled rivers and lakes, and it was not the prestige of martial arts, but who was better at scheming and more ruthless.

The hot tea is getting cold, the lights are stopping, and the owner of the small shop can't stop yawning sleepily. Wen Moqing and Bi Xiao sat in silence for a long time, and when everything was silent and the surroundings were almost silent, Wen Moqing suddenly got up, dropped a few copper plates and walked towards the inn.

"I went to see her, and I couldn't see it clearly from a distance for the past few days, and I don't know if she was injured along the way."

Behind him, Bi Xiao smiled softly, laughing at him for not being frank, and also laughing at his clumsy excuse - to put it bluntly, he just wanted to see Yan Li's worries, get closer, and stay by her side.
