Unfolding the letter sent to him by Wei Chimu, Scarlet Yan read it all the way, but he saw such a sentence in the middle of the letter, "In 694, the five princes of the southern kingdom were killed, and Jeju was hit by a flood. These two things don't seem to have any necessary connection, but if you look down, you can find that the Yin family's shops are all attacking the shops in the same industry at the same time, especially the prince's shops are the most seriously attacked.

Is it the Yin family who is good friends with the five princes? Scarlet Smoke's white fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. However, this action fell into the eyes of Shao Yan, who had just been sent to secretly protect Scarlet Yan, but he suddenly remembered the scene that day in the palace, when he was controlled by the cold aura of the prince, and couldn't help but gasp.

But he didn't want this action to be noticed by Scarlet Smoke, and suddenly said sharply, "Who?" Come out! ”

Secretly said bad in his heart, Shao Yan received the eyes of his colleagues asking for more blessings, secretly swallowed and spit, walked out of the corner, and saluted Scarlet Smoke, "Princess." ”

Seeing that he was dressed in black, Scarlet Yan knew that this person was the secret guard sent by Yu Chimu to protect her, although she had never seen what the secret guard beside her looked like, but Scarlet Yan had never felt the people around her so clearly, and then frowned, "Are you a newcomer?" ”

Shao Yan nodded honestly, "Yes, the subordinate code name is 51, and the prince gave the name Shao Yan." ”

"Hmm......" Scarlet Yan nodded, seeing that this person looked good, remembering that Wei Chimu had mentioned such a frizzy secret guard in his heart, he said softly, "How old are you this year?" ”

never thought that the woman in front of him would ask him this question, Shao Yan was stunned for a moment, and replied, "My subordinate is twenty and four this year, and it is Layue's birthday." ”

He is indeed an interesting person. Scarlet smiled, "Don't hide in the shadows in the future, your surname will be Yan in the future, Yan Shaoyan." In the future, I will send someone to teach you more things, and you will follow me. ”

"But...... The subordinate is a secret guard......" Shao Yan obviously hadn't reacted yet, and only said in a daze.

Raising his eyebrows and glancing at him, Scarlet Smoke said while holding the pen and ink, "The dark place is not suitable for you, you better stay in the bright place." Being able to follow me justifiably and protect my safety at all times is also another kind of secret guard's duty, so it is decided, you take this handwritten letter and go to the Shantang in Liuxiang to find Mr. Yang Jiuhui, he will teach you skills such as bookkeeping and management. ”

Shao Yan's face became bitter when he heard this, "Princess, my subordinates don't know a few big characters, how can I learn to do account management?" ”

Scarlet Smoke glanced at him, indifferent to his complaints, "I won't go to school, if I don't want to, I will go back to where I came from as soon as possible." ”

How does this work? I finally came out of the training camp and was able to really start the mission and ask him to go back to the furnace and rebuild? Shao Yan thought like this, and then picked up the handwritten letter from the scarlet desk, put it into his arms, and said in a deep voice, "Shao Yan obeyed the order, thank you princess for your success." With that, he flew out of the house.

Feeling a little amused by this person's heroic appearance, Scarlet shook his head, summoned Bi'er, and went to Yin Shangshu's Mansion after some freshening.

At this time, it was not yet noon, but for some reason, Shangshu Mansion closed the door to thank the guests, this is called Scarlet Smoke is really a little confused, after thinking about it, let the coachman drive the carriage to a side gate of Shangshu Mansion, look around and see that there is no one around, and the wall of Shangshu Mansion is not too high, Scarlet Smoke will be on his waist and feet, step on the wall, and turn into the courtyard.

Although Shangshu Mansion is not as large as Xiangfu, there are many small bridges and rockeries. Scarlet Smoke hid behind the rockery and quietly looked around, but heard two voices coming in a low voice.

"He'er, my father has decided to let you go south with the five princes and leave the land of right and wrong."

"Father, look at the lotus flowers blooming so beautifully this year."

"He'er, my father knows that you can't bear everything here, but my father is also reluctant to see you in this troubled world. The fifth prince has promised that his father will be good to you, and if you live well, you will be satisfied with your father. ”

"Father, do you think that if this lotus flower had not been beaten by the summer rain, it would still bloom such a beautiful flower?"

"He'er! What are you talking about? Did you listen to your father's words? ”

"Even if He'er is doing well alone, there is no father, no mother, no relatives and friends around, so what's the point?"

"Nonsense! In any case, the father has made up his mind, and as soon as September comes, the father will send you out of the song city. ”

"Father!"

"Don't talk about it, you can rest for a long time."

…………

The woman's voice was already Yin Ruohe, and the man must be Yin Shangshu. Hearing what Yin Shangshu meant, he actually wanted to send Ruohe away from here, could it be that the entire Yin family, he said that he would give up, and only keep one Ruohe?

Thinking like this, Scarlet Smoke quietly poked his head out from behind the rockery, and saw that his friend was only stunned when he looked at the lotus flowers that had not yet opened in the pool, and was silent for a long time. Scarlet Smoke quietly stepped forward, gently patted the girl's weak fragrant shoulder, and covered her mouth before she had time to exclaim in surprise.

"Shh......h Ruohe, it's me. Crimson winked at her in a low voice.

Yin Ruohe was startled, looked around, and then pushed her hand away and said angrily, "I'm scared to death." Yan'er, why are you here? It won't ......"

Under the complicated gaze of his friend, Scarlet Smoke nodded calmly, "Can I go to your room and talk?" I have something to tell you about the Five Princes. ”

Coming out of Yin Ruohe's room, the sun was already in the west. The two girls were just talking and chatting, but they didn't want to be close to evening. However, this trip was not worthwhile, Scarlet Yan looked at the Yin Mansion behind him, and became more and more confident in what the five princes wanted to see the next day.

On the other side, Yu Chimu heard that the secret guard was reporting the movements of the scarlet smoke like a few treasures, and looked at His Royal Highness's secret guard with a little pampering in his tone, "In the future, you only need to report the whereabouts of the princess to this king, as for the people given to her by this king, how to arrange it is the princess's freedom, and there is no need to ask this king." ”

The Dark Guard replied yes, and then stepped back with a smile. Ever since they discovered that as long as the princess was mentioned, the princess would be in a particularly good mood, and reporting the princess's movements every day had become a hot task among the secret guards.

"I trespass on other people's mansions at every turn, and I don't know who I learned from." Wei Chimu shook his head, a slight smile overflowed on his lips, if this was heard by Scarlet Smoke, he would definitely refute him, "I learned it from you!" ”

Above the main hall, Wei Xian looked at the people lying in His Highness with a gloomy face, and the stormy yin was brewing in the man's eyes, "You said that the Du family's claim that the medicinal materials were wrong was to unload all the medicinal materials in the shop?" ”

"Yes...... Yes," His Royal Highness's back broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and he said resignedly, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the batch of medicinal materials has been returned, and the Du family didn't even ask for the money they used to buy the medicinal materials, so they ......left directly."

After thinking about it, Wei Xian finally said in a deep voice, "Okay, this prince knows, let's go down." ”

The man was relieved and immediately ran away. It was at this moment that Wei Xian waved his arm and pushed all the things on the desk to the ground, and he could no longer hold back the anger in his chest, "What a Du family!" ”

The merchant's house, even the principal is gone, and a large number of medicinal materials are returned from the goods, isn't this a clear way to tell everyone that there is a problem with this medicinal material?

If someone has a heart to check along the source of goods, they will ruin their own plans...... No, he doesn't allow it!

Wei Xian's face showed a fierce light, "Someone! ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"Call Xie Zongquan to Prince Ben!"

Xie Zongquan never thought that he would be able to see this ruthless lord again, although he resigned, but the lifeblood of the Xie family was in his hands, and when he was summoned, he went in a hurry.

Kneeling under His Royal Highness, Xie Zongquan felt the dangerous aura emanating from Wei Xian's body, and couldn't help but feel his heart tighten. Although he has been an official for more than ten years, he still understands three points of the king's will, and immediately said,

"Thank you to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his promotion, and I am willing to go to the soup for His Royal Highness!"

His long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and Wei Xian's voice raised, "Oh? It seems that this prince has recognized the right person, and Xie Shilang is not an ungrateful person? ”

Hearing this, if you still don't know that you have become an outcast, and the prince already has something to let him do, then he has been an official for more than ten years, and Xie Zongquan has done it in vain.

"I beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make it clear." Xie Zong's whole body trembled slightly, but he fell to the ground.

Wei Xian smiled knowingly when he heard this, "Xie Aiqing doesn't have to show this look of seeing death as home, this prince just has a batch of medicinal materials to be handed over to you to deal with." ”

The next day, when Scarlet Smoke's carriage stopped at the door of Shufang Garden, he found that Yin Ruohe, who had made an appointment to enter the garden together, was already waiting here.

So she walked briskly forward, took the girl's hand affectionately, and the two of them walked towards the garden.

Although Elder Yang told her that the Five Princes would appear here, the huge garden, where did they go to find such a person?

Scarlet Smoke stopped and looked around, and his mind suddenly flashed to the pavilion they were in when they saw the second day at the flower viewing banquet that day, and immediately walked to the pavilion with Yin Ruohe according to the route in his memory.

Before seeing the stone pavilion, the two of them heard a crisp and pleasant sound of the flute, Xiao Yin was slow and urgent, suddenly broke through the clouds, and suddenly fell to the bottom, revealing a sense of remoteness.

It seems that the person she wants to see is in front of her.

Wei Ting was about to finish the song, smelled the footsteps behind him, turned around slowly, and saw the woman standing next to Scarlet Yan, his eyes bent, and he smiled slightly.

"Miss Scarlet, Miss Yin, long time no see."

Yin Ruohe heard the man's voice, and her heart chuckled, but she still pretended to be calm and followed behind Scarlet Smoke and entered the pavilion.

Looking at the soft color in Wei Ting's eyes that he had time to put away, Scarlet Yan knew that he had made the right bet, and the fifth prince in front of him actually had some feelings for Ruohe.
