Chapter 422: Scoundrels
On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Hai Yingying and Dou'er followed Ji Huanyu to West Street to see the lanterns.
The prince also left the palace after getting the news. The emperor sent Chen Yi to secretly protect the crown prince.
Jiang Yaowu, the prince's companion, went out of the palace to see the lanterns for the first time, and he felt that the lanterns here were simply beautiful.
The prince has no intention of appreciating the lanterns, he has been looking for beans. At the door of a lamp shop stood a woman in a white dress and a blue robe.
The prince mistakenly thought she was Dou'er, so he happily walked over and called, "Dou'er! ”
The woman turned to look at the prince. She has a beautiful face and is also a rare beauty in the world.
"I'm sorry! Recognize the wrong person! The prince bowed and left.
Jiang Yaowu looked straight, and after the girl left, Jiang Yaowu realized that he had lost the prince.
The prince traveled all the way to the west, but he never saw Dou'er. He saw a bridge and walked up it. At this time, five Shura hermits appeared on the other side of the bridge.
As soon as the prince saw that everyone was masked, he knew that it was not good. He hurriedly turned around and left. The Shura hermit on the bridge hurried after him and surrounded the prince.
Although the prince is skilled in martial arts, he is invincible. Seeing that the prince was about to be taken away by the Shura hermit, Chen Yi appeared to rescue him.
Those five Shura hermits were not Chen Yi's opponents. They fled after one dead and three wounded.
"Thank you for the rescue!" The prince saluted Chen.
"Don't dare to be! I was sent by your father to protect you! Chen Yi looked at the prince with one hand behind his back and said.
"My father knows I'm out of the palace?" The prince felt a chill run down his back. I dare to do anything I can't hide from my father.
"It's getting late! Please return to the palace! Chen Yi said.
The prince did not find Dou'er, but he was almost caught by the Shura hermit. He was in a terrible mood.
Chen Yi followed the crown prince in the direction of the palace. At this time, Dou'er suddenly ran out and hit the prince's body.
The prince held the bean who was about to fall. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the person in his arms was Dou'er.
Dou'er didn't expect that the person she bumped into turned out to be the prince. Her mouth opened wide in surprise.
"I've seen the prince!" Ji Huanyu and Hai Yingying chased Dou'er but saw the prince.
"Looks like we're really fated to do so!" The prince smiled and hugged the bean in his arms.
"Prince! The origin of this woman is unknown! As soon as Chen learned that she was Dou'er, he persuaded her. Because Gongzi Jinqi has asked Hanguang to report to the emperor that he can't find out Dou'er's life and origin.
After Sima Hao learned about it, he did not tell the prince. He just asked Chen Yi to find an opportunity to reveal it to the crown prince.
After listening to Chen Yi's words, the prince knew in his heart and said, "Maybe she has her own troubles!" ”
After listening to this, Dou'er glanced at the prince. She also had doubts about her origins.
Wei Wujing did not reveal half a word about her life experience to Dou'er. Bean'er only vaguely remembers a little.
She only remembered that she was picked up by Hai Yingying's father. As for where she used to live, she doesn't remember it because it's been too long.
She once asked Wei Wujing, and the answer she got was: If you want to live longer, you should never ask.
Dou'er has never mentioned his background since then. When she came to Beijing this time, Wei Wujing repeatedly told her not to say that she was from Jianning County.
So when she heard the prince's words, she felt that he understood herself. Therefore, when she and Ji Huanyu and his wife were about to leave, they glanced back at the prince.
Although the prince was infatuated, he also knew that women of unknown origin could not enter the palace.
When the crown prince returned to the palace, he went to see his father. Sima Hao knew his intention, so he told him: "If you want to know her life experience, there is someone who can help!" ”
The crown prince knew that the person his father said was a young man. He knew that it was Gongzi Qingqian who helped his father to ascend the throne.
At the beginning, his father was the weakest, but in the end he became the biggest winner.
The prince also wanted to meet the first son of Youjing back then. So he begged his father to let him go out of the palace to go through the training.
At first, Sima Hao said that he would not agree to the prince's request. When he went to the border gate, he almost died nine times.
The prince said, "If you don't let me go, then please call him to Beijing!" ”
Sima Hao is very clear about Gongzi Jinqian and Gongzi's shallow festivals. He didn't know what had happened between them. But he knew that after Gongzi Qingqian suddenly left Beijing ten years ago, he never came back after nothing happened.
If you want to summon Gongzi Qingqian into Beijing, you must have some name, but Sima Hao can't think of it.
After the morning of this day, Gonggong Zhao stopped Xie Xian and said that the emperor asked him to go to the imperial study.
Xie Xian had already guessed that Sima Hao was for the prince's business. He was reluctant, but he had to go.
Sima Hao saw Xie Xian who saluted him, so he stepped down from his throne and came to Xie Xian.
"You have a way to let Gongzi Qingqian go back to Beijing."
"Yes!" Xie Xian should go down.
When the peach blossoms were in full bloom, Gongzi Qingqian received an edict from the emperor calling him back to Beijing to preside over the sword competition.
Rouxin saw that Gongzi's shallow face did not show joy, so she asked him why.
"The drunkard doesn't mean to drink!" Childe couldn't help but sigh.
"But it's okay for you to go back and preside over the ten-year sword competition. After all, you used to be the number one sword in the capital! Rouxin didn't see any clues.
"Pack your things and set off as soon as possible!" After all, Gongzi Qingqian cannot disobey the holy will, and must return to Beijing on time.
When Gongzi Jinqian heard that the emperor had summoned Gongzi Qingqian to Beijing to preside over the ten-year sword competition, he couldn't help but sneer.
"Childe! How do we do it? Tu'an, who was standing beside Gongzi Jin, asked.
"Intercept!" How could Childe Jinyan give up this great opportunity? As long as the prince is shallow and cannot enter Beijing on time, it is the sin of neglecting the holy will.
Tu'an went down to arrange for their people on the rivers and lakes to prevent Gongzi Qingqian from entering Beijing.
Gongzi Qingqian and his wife only brought Xiangzi and Shang Qian with them. They had already left Dongting and arrived in Wuling County.
Childe Jin still remembered the agreement between them, and did not issue a death order, but just asked Touran to find a way to stop their trip.
Xuanfei was not worried about his master, and returned to his home in Zhuyang Town on the New Year.
The spies of the Bai family told him that Yao Weng and the others were all right. He spent the New Year at home with peace of mind.
Xuanfei learned that the emperor had issued an edict and ordered Gongzi Qingqian to enter Beijing to preside over the sword competition, so he went to answer. Because he can't trust Gongzi Jinqi.
When the four of Gongzi Qingqian were eating at an inn in Wuling County, they met a group of scoundrels teasing Xiangzi.
Xiangzi pulled out her sword, but was stopped by Childe. If you get into a lawsuit at this time, you will definitely not be able to enter Beijing as scheduled.
The group of scoundrels saw that Gongzi was shallow and not deceived, so they moved on Xiangzi.
Childe's shallow chopsticks flew out and nailed the clothes of the two scoundrels to the wooden planks on the walls of the inn.
"I'm ordered to enter Beijing! If you stop the trouble, you will have to involve your family to eat a lawsuit together! Gongzi saw that they were not masters of the rivers and lakes, but a group of local scoundrels, so he made intimidating words.
Those scoundrels took money from other people, so they came to make trouble. They did not know that the wrongdoer was a man who had received the emperor's order. Childe's shallow words made them stunned on the spot.
"Let's go!" Childe Qingqian squeezed through the group of scoundrels with Rouxin and Xiangzi and walked out of the inn.
When the group of scoundrels saw that Gongzi's shallow carriage was gone, he immediately ordered someone to inform the Jianghu guests of Wuchang County.
