Gongsun Lan took the eighteen sons given by Mama Jiang, squinted her eyes and beckoned Yuexi to come over and said a few words in her ear, Yuexi was stunned at first, and then her eyes suddenly lit up with excitement! "Miss, don't worry, the slave will definitely handle things properly!"

Seeing that Yuexi didn't know what errand they had received, a few people in Duchun jumped out of the house and couldn't help but be curious: "Miss, how are you going to deal with the four princes?" I'm afraid it's not very good, right? ”

Gongsun Lan said: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to him, it's just to let him eat some lessons and have a long memory." ”

The four princes who returned to Beijing without permission only stayed in the mansion for less than two hours, and countless impeachment excerpts flew to the North Hades Palace. The king called the four princes to the palace, split his head and cover his face is a scolding, and he personally whipped the back of the four princes to open the flesh. If it weren't for everyone to stop them, there would have been direct killings.

Clear-eyed people know that this beating can be regarded as an explanation from the king to Da'an.

And Cui Ruo, the initiator of this matter, was also ordered to be grounded in the mansion for three months and not to meet with the four princes, Cui Ruo's teeth itched, originally the two of them had the same fate, one to recuperate, the other to recuperate, it was the best opportunity to strengthen the relationship, but she didn't dare to disobey the will, she could only send words three times a day, caring, worried, and sad in a lot, so that the four princes often had a high fever before the injury healed, which made it worse.

Later, Mama Shen really couldn't look past it, so she stopped Cui Ruo from handing it over, which made the situation of the four princes better. She complained to the little servant Songlin next to the fourth prince: "The master is confused, and you don't persuade him?" ”

Song Lin was unconvinced: "You are the master's grandmother, when he is stupid, who can hold it all, General Chang Yuan stopped and stopped, what is the use of what I say?" ”

Mama Shen said angrily: "It's also my fault, I shouldn't have passed on any family letters to the side concubine!" ”

"Alas, Mama doesn't have to blame herself, who would have thought that the master would be able to leave the princess and come back first?"

When Mama Shen heard the words "princess", she couldn't help asking: "The master just left, what did Princess Gaoyang say?" ”

"Princess Gaoyang has a good temper, she didn't even ask why her master suddenly returned to Beijing, and she also carefully told her to send more people back to ensure safety." Song Lin leaned in with Mama Shen and muttered in a low voice: "I think our princess is a good talker, and in the future, we will not be splinted between her and the side concubine." ”

"It's not a good temper and good talk, but a general knowledge of advance and retreat!" When Mama Shen heard this, she sighed and said, "Originally, I thought that Concubine Fang was a sensible person, but now it seems that it was all because no one competed with her for favor before. In the end, it is a concubine. Alas...... In the future, our master will not have to stop the days. ”

Song Lin looked up and glared at Mama Shen when he said this, he said "ouch" and said, "Mama don't worry, the two of us can talk about this, who else can I tell to go?" ”

"Hmph, it's good that you kid know! In the future, you have to be clever by your master's side, and don't let this happen again. Mama Shen admonished a few words, and said: "The king said, just give the master three days to recuperate, and on the fourth day, you have to set off from Kyoto early to welcome Princess Gaoyang. ”

Songlin hurriedly nodded: "Yes, I remember it in my heart." ”

……

In the few days when the fourth prince was recuperating from his injuries, he frequently went in and out of the mansion, bought a lot of messy things, and often ran to the Nangong Mansion to find the old man Wansheng to mutter. When everyone asked her what she was just going to do, she didn't say anything mysteriously.

On the fourth day, Gongsun Lan got up early in the morning. She asked Moon to help her apply yellow powder to her face in order to cover her porcelain-white complexion. Zai carefully drew his eyebrows and changed into men's clothes, and then followed the four princes out of the city with Yuexi and Lei Cheng, who were also dressed up in Qiao Zhuang.

The fourth prince's injury was not completely healed, and he could not ride a horse, so he made a comfortable carriage and went all the way. Song Lin calculated the time in his heart, so that the four princes could meet the princess as soon as possible without affecting the injury.

Among the decoctions taken by the four princes, there were some sleeping effects, except for being called up by Songlin at noon to eat something, the rest of the time they fell asleep in the carriage.

When the sun set, the group arrived at the place where they settled.

Songlin helped the fourth prince with a sore back to get out of the carriage and said, "Master, let's hurry to welcome the princess, we can't settle down at the post station, we can only go where we go, and stay at the inn." ”

The fourth prince never cared about these things, waved his hand listlessly, and said, "Look at the arrangement." ”

Songlin brought a hat to the four princes, tied his head, and the Changfu Inn in front of him had already booked a room. When the four princes entered the house, they waved their hands to let the group go down, leaving only one Songlin.

Song Lin said: "The little one has already asked people to decoct the medicine, and the master should use some meals, and then drink the medicine to rest." What do you think? ”

The four princes nodded silently, and Songlin went out to make arrangements, and they were busy together until they served the four princes to sleep, and more than an hour had passed. He was tired enough to choke that day, so he blew out the candles, stretched his arms and legs, and fell asleep on the floor beside him.

In the dead of night, only one or two rooms in the entire Changfu Inn are still lit, but I can't hear the slightest sound, I don't know if the owner is afraid of the dark, or the lights are on and I fell asleep.

Kitayama Yu was dazed and dazed, only to feel that someone was talking to him in his ear. His eyelids were heavy because of the decoction, and it took a lot of effort to break free from the sleepiness and lift a slit in his eyelids.

The moonlight outside the window reflected the snow on the roof tiles, illuminating the surroundings very brightly, and beams of silver light poured in from the windows, slightly illuminating the room.

He looked around suspiciously, but he didn't see anyone, and no one spoke to him. He let out a sigh of relief, doubting that he was just having a nightmare. He rolled over and tried to continue sleeping, but suddenly felt thirsty, so he called, "Songlin, pour a glass of water." ”

Kitayama Yu waited for a while, and found that Songlin, who was sleeping on the floor, did not respond. He turned his body back and called out again, "Songlin? ”

Still no response.

Beishan Yu frowned, Songlin was very vigilant on weekdays, whether he was asleep or not, as long as there was movement, he would wake up immediately to check. What's going on today? Exhausted? Kitayama Yu shook his head, as long as he put on his shoes and poured water on the ground. But I couldn't help but see a figure standing outside the door.

The figure stood motionless, motionless.

Kitayama Yu was frightened by the sudden situation, and asked angrily, "Who is outside?" ”

No one answered......

Beishan Yu looked at the figure and hesitated a little, it stands to reason that there should be someone guarding the door of his room. He took a few steps back, not daring to say anything more, and crouched down to shake Songlin. But Songlin is like a dead pig, and he can't wake up no matter how he shakes it.

At this moment, the horizontal board of the door lock suddenly clicked and fell to the ground, and at the same time, the door was pushed open by a crack with a creak. Kitayama Yu is not a little white face who is powerless, and his combat power is not strong, but it is better than nothing. He touched the saber next to the bed and asked again, "Who's outside?!" ”

The figure didn't answer, but slowly stretched out his hand to push the door open completely.

"Ruo'er!"

Beishan Yu was shocked, looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief, and asked, "Ruo'er, why are you here?" ”

He instinctively realized that something was wrong, but he was still disturbed by Cui Ruo's thinking, he took two steps forward, saw clearly that it was indeed Cui Ruo's face, and asked a series of questions: "Ruo'er, your illness is cured?" Who told you to come out of town to me? Who knows about this? ”

Cui Ruo, who was outside the door, did not speak with a slightly pale face, but turned around and left. As if it was just to look at him, after seeing people at this time, he was already satisfied.

Beishan Yu was stunned, was it Cui Ruo, if it was her, she should have jumped into his arms as soon as possible, right? But the other party turned around and left, could it be that he was wrong? "Impossible...... That's clearly Ruo'er's face......"

Beishan Yu stood at the door of the room and looked around, but he didn't see the guards escorting him out of the city, and he was confused, but he couldn't look at Cui Ruo. It's just that in the moment of his hesitation, the other party has already walked away.

He turned to look at Songling, who had fallen asleep, and stepped out of the room. He thinks that he is the most useless prince of the entire Beishan clan, and he is simply a dispensable character for his father, who would think about assassinating him if he has nothing to do? Therefore, he gritted his teeth and chased in the direction where Cui Ruo left.

The figure of the other party got farther and farther away, and turned out of the inn into the alley behind.

Beishan Yu saw that the white clothes of the figure in front of him were blown up by the wind, bringing a little weakness and sparseness, which was clearly Ruo'er's posture. "Ruo'er! Where are you going? Wait for me! ”

Cui Ruo in front seemed to hear Beishan Yu's call, stopped in the darkness at the end of the alley, and stood there with his back to Beishan Yu.

Beishan Yu slowly stopped trotting ten steps away and slowly walked in front of Cui Ruo, he thought that Cui Ruo was still grounded in the house, and said in surprise: "Ruo'er, what is going on?" Did you sneak out? What about those who serve around you? Why are you the only one? ”

The figure in front of him shrugged his shoulders slightly, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, and muttered something in a low voice. Kitayama Yu didn't hear clearly, and couldn't help asking, "What?" As he spoke, his hand also touched the other party's shoulder, and with a slight force, he turned the other party to face him.

"Ahhhh

Beishan Yu looked at the aging and withered face in front of him, and screamed loudly in shock, and sat down under the wall.

Cui Ruo looked at him expressionlessly, and said: "It's easy to get old, it should be like this, is it just my appearance that Your Highness loves?" Now that I'm old, are you afraid of being like this? ”
