A layer of autumn cool, the cold rain obliquely between heaven and earth is tightly entangled and unwilling to disperse, the rain drips along the oil-paper umbrella like a line, Xuanyuan looks at the river bank in the distance, and searches for people and horses along the road.

Eyes like a dark night that could not be dissolved, they finally escaped from the pursuit and interception of the iron terrestris, and immediately sent people to search everywhere for the whereabouts of the two, from the upstream all the way to search, nearly twenty days have passed, the two people seem to have disappeared between heaven and earth, without a trace, making him anxious.

"Lord Wang, the horses are ready, you better go back to Yuzhou first, and then we will continue to search with people." Behind him came the voice of Ye Zheng.

It's time for him to go back, those staff in Yuzhou are anxiously waiting, and in the past two days, they have sent several news to urge, and at this time they received a letter from Xiao Yichen, so that he had to rush back to Yuzhou in a hurry.

"Ye Zheng, send someone to spread the news here to Yuzhou at any time."

"Yes!"

Xuanyuan hurried day and night, and finally rushed back to Yuzhou in the afternoon four days later, and flew off the horse at the gate of King Yu's mansion, and the guards rushed up when they saw King Yu coming back, "Lord, you can come back." ”

"Go tell the butler and get everyone to assemble in the council chamber." Xuanyuan has been gone for several months, and when he returns, he will inevitably gather all his staff to discuss the situation.

Throwing off everyone, he strode towards the council hall, pushed open the heavy vermilion lacquered wooden door, and stepped into the main hall.

Surprised, the staff members had already been waiting in the hall, and the person sitting at the top of the hall was Wen Tao, and the young woman in a yellow shirt standing beside her was her cousin Wen Zhen.

Wen Zhenyan smiled coincidentally: "Cousin, why don't you recognize it." ”

Xuanyuan didn't expect that his grandfather Weng would come to Yuzhou in person, and he had seen it in the capital a few days ago. It must have come to oversee. The eyebrows became more and more cold, no wonder they sent people to urge them again and again.

"How could Grande Weng suddenly visit Yuzhou."

Wen Tao naturally heard Xuanyuan's extreme displeasure, "The old man heard that his grandson had encountered an ambush, and he was not at ease. Zhen'er is even more worried about washing her face with tears all day long, how can she rest assured if she doesn't see you safe! ”

It turned out that the grandfather Weng came for the agreement between them, and the uncle always mentioned it, but he didn't expect the grandfather, who had always been respected, to start forcing him again~

The corners of his lips were coldly hooked, "My cousin has a heart, and a few shrimp soldiers and crabs will not be able to defeat this king." ”

Wen Tao's expression sank slightly, and he changed the topic and said: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince is missing, this matter has already alarmed the emperor, and the capital will send someone to come soon." ”

Xuanyuan naturally knew that the person sent by the capital was Xiao Yichen, and Xiao Yichen was the force he had painstakingly cultivated and cultivated, and the people of the Wen family did not know.

The strength of the Wen family's operation for several generations is enough to compete with the Wei family, but he wants to control the court through his integrity, and the Wen family's ambitions are no less than those of the Wei family.

He has to rely on the power of his mother's mother's family, but he also has to cultivate his own power, and he can't be controlled by others forever.

"It is precisely because of this that the king rushed back."

At this time, thousands of miles away, Mu Bangshang personally went to the kitchen to cook some porridge. "The people on the island mainly eat dried fish and sweet potatoes, and almost all of the food supplies have to be purchased from the island.

Walking in with a food box, he saw that Shi Caiyuan was treating the wound on Li Ge's face, and the wound slowly recovered, but there was a red mark on his face. I'm afraid that it will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year to completely change back to its original color.

Shi Caiyuan collected the Gu worms, and when he saw Mu Bangshang coming, "Put the bowl down!" Then go to the pharmacy to get the medicine bag, and in a while His Highness will ask for a medicinal bath to assist in the treatment of internal injuries. ”

"No need." Li Ge was busy blocking it.

Mu Bangshang knew that the doctor had always been unkind to her, after all, Her Royal Highness was killed by her.

"Okay, I'll go."

Mu Bangshang hurriedly went to the pharmacy, the prescription was just the room of the Jingshe Modified Country, in addition to all kinds of herbs on the shelves, there was also this poisonous insect in the urn, which scared her so much that she didn't dare to look at it.

Afraid that those poisonous insects would come out, Mu Bangshang carefully bypassed and went to pick up the medicine bag that had been wrapped on the table.

"Snort!" She stepped on a spotted python under her feet, and she was so frightened that she took a few steps back, and accidentally touched a row of delicate wooden boxes on the table, which were all kinds of precious medicinal herbs scattered all over the ground.

He stepped back, and saw that the snake did not move, but only spit out the letter.

Seeing that the snake did not move, it should be non-poisonous, otherwise the teacher and the doctor would not let her come and go to get the medicine bag.

Relying on his courage, he squatted on the ground and took back the medicine scattered on the ground back into the wooden box, and found that the black square wooden box could only be a tortoiseshell in excellent condition and exquisite condition.

The tortoiseshell is the shield on the carapace of the returnees, the effect is comparable to the rhino horn, in addition to being a precious Chinese medicine or a precious jewelry, the spots are shiny, the pattern is transparent and beautiful, comparable to jade, it is a symbol of good luck since ancient times.

The texture is also much more brittle than jade, Mu Bangshang looked at the beautiful pattern, the luster of the luster, and remembered Li Ge's red-stained face, if he used it to carve a half-sided mask, it should be very beautiful.

I took the herb packet, dodged the piebald snake, and went to the kitchen to fry the herb soup.

After about half a cup of tea, Mu Bangshang came to the room with a wooden bucket, filled the bath bucket, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat beads from the corners of his forehead, and came to the next room, seeing that Shi Caiyuan was still healing Li Ge's injuries.

"Doctor girl, the medicated bath is ready."

I didn't expect her movements to be very quick, she wasn't scared by the spotted python and her hands and feet were weak, it was her pet, and it wouldn't hurt people without her permission.

"You help His Highness to the medicinal bath."

Li Ge saw that Mu Bangsang's face was slightly red, and he couldn't hold it back, "Master and doctor, don't embarrass Miss Mu myself." ”

"Her Highness is her savior, she just did what she should do." Shi Caiyuan said coldly.

Mu Bangshang had no complaints in her heart, what Shi Caiyuan said was also the truth, but this was what she should do.

But after all, she is still a woman who has not left the cabinet, she has lived for seventeen years, and she has only served her brother and King Yu to bathe in two lifetimes, although it is not the first time, she is also embarrassed, she has always been strict with the law of etiquette, and reason made her stand still and did not move.

Li Ge struggled to get up, rarely getting angry, "Doctor Girl, Miss Mu, go out!" ”

Mu Wanshang hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Highness, don't be angry, the mountain master and doctor girl are elders, and only the little girl is the most suitable." ”

"Release! I'm not a wreck, and I don't need to be served. Mu Bangshang let go of his hand when he saw that he was really angry, and watched Li Ge walk out with difficulty and step by little.

Shi Caiyuan glared at Mu Wanshang coldly, "If you really care about His Highness, just go over and serve." ”

Mu Bangshang understood Li Ge's intentions, "If I follow the past, I will insult His Highness." ”

Mu Bangshang knew that Shi Caiyuan didn't like her, if she knew that she had moved her things, if she drove her down the mountain, she wouldn't be able to stay and take care of Li Ge. She had nowhere to go when she went down the mountain, so she took out the piece of armor from her arms, "Can I ask for this?" ”

Shi Caiyuan looked at the tortoiseshell armor piece in Mu Bangsheng's hand, which was an item brought out of the Silla Palace, and she made it difficult for Mu Bangshang to test her, whether it was worth her rescue.

Curious to know what she would do with tortoiseshell nails? I readily agreed.

"Okay, you can take it!"

Mu Bangshang was relieved, put the nail piece into his arms again, went to the next room, and stood outside the door without entering.

knocked lightly on the door, but did not speak, she just wanted to tell Li Ge that she was outside the door.

In the quiet night, under the dim candlelight, Mu Bangshang took out the crystal clear armor, and the dagger in her hand was finely outlined on the armor, she wanted to carve a mask and give it to Li Ge, who ruined her appearance.

Shi Caiyuan was standing outside the window, and through the window lattice, she saw Mu Bangsheng who was carefully sketched on the shield, it turned out that she wanted to carve a mask? For the relationship between the two people, the confusion in her heart became more and more intense, if this woman was not the love of His Highness, she would never save her.

In the early morning of the next day, Mu Bangshang collapsed early, her fingers were still a little painful, and she accidentally injured her hand last night. After all, it was the first time to carve, and it was inconvenient to use a dagger, so it was necessary to find something that was suitable.

Mu Bangshang came to the kitchen, there was already a fire in the kitchen stove, could it be that the doctor got up earlier than her.

Shi Caiyuan was already waiting at the door, Mu Bangshang noticed that someone behind him was busy turning around, and at this time, Shi Caiyuan handed her a stick to burn the fire.

"The rice grain on the mountain is limited, but there are many hares on the mountain, so you go and hunt two and come back."

The meaning of the teacher and doctor girl is that she should be self-reliant, and suddenly there are two more people in the family, and the food on the island is limited, and she can not go out until the spring of the next year.

Mu Bangshang took the stick in her hand and wandered around the forest, seeing those cute rabbits, she couldn't do it at all.

Walked around the forest, kicked the gravel under her feet, and there were some withered and reddened leaves on the ground, which were sweet potato leaves she had eaten at Zhang's sister-in-law's house, and because she was a little old, it was astringent and difficult to swallow.

She had only seen it once and then wrote down that there must be sweet potatoes under the sweet potato leaves, and excitedly dug with wooden sticks, stones, and fingers, and dug out round brown skins. It's a little different from what I've eaten, and no matter what it is, there's always something to gain.

Mu Bangshang dug up the dozen wild sweet potatoes he dug up in his clothes, and followed the path he wrote down to find them all the way.

put those wild sweet potatoes in front of Shi Caiyuan, "Doctor Girl, you can eat this!" ”

Shi Caiyuan followed her all the way, and saw that she had let go of the prey that was within reach several times, and her charity was somewhat similar to His Royal Highness.

Seeing her slightly swollen fingertips, I remembered that she carved last night, "Well, it can be used to steam and eat." I got it ready and gave it to His Highness to taste. ”

Mu Bangshang ate it in the kitchen, the taste was sweet and a little astringent, and seeing that Shi Caiyuan was not there, he walked in with a food box.

"I've prepared something to eat, would you like to taste it, Your Highness?"

"Good!"

Mu Bangshang took out the plate inside, afraid that he would see the injury on his hand, so he deliberately covered it with his sleeve.

"It's a sweet potato."

Li Ge had never eaten sweet potatoes before, so he took a piece and put it in his mouth, which was sweet and astringent.

Actually, it didn't taste good, "It's not bad." ”

Looking at her with gentle eyes, her face was much thinner than before, and her hands brushed her wrists and slid towards her bare hands.

"You've worked hard these days."

Mu Wanshang frowned painfully, "What's wrong?" ”

Mu Bangshang hurriedly covered up: "It's okay, the doctor hasn't eaten yet." He turned around to leave, but he directly held his wrist, and his red and swollen fingertips could no longer be hidden.

Her fingertips were not only red and swollen, but also had many small scratches, which were knife wounds. "Your hand hurts."

Mu Bangshang was busy pumping his hand, but he couldn't move it, and wrote lightly: "It's just that it was scratched when digging sweet potatoes, just put some medicine." ”

Li Ge's eyes were full of pity, he put her hand to his lips and kissed her, and took advantage of the situation to hold her in his arms, "It's really useless to hurt you to suffer." ”

Mu Wanshang was held in her arms, a little flustered, but she didn't refuse.

"Your Highness......"

"Call me."
