Chapter XXVIII
After the instructions, Wanxiang returned to the palace without a quarter of an hour delay. As soon as I arrived in the house, I began to look for the account books that I brought out from the study of the prefect of Yucheng with the fold at that time.
Although it was only a part of it, it was enough. Wanxiang tore off the two pages of the account book and prepared to wait until the night was thick to send them to King Yi's mansion.
When he first wanted to go out, Ling Zhao was entangled like a lingering ghost. As soon as I heard the word 'princess' said by Qi'er, I only felt bored.
The people outside the door couldn't stop Ling Zhao, so Wanxiang had to go out to greet him: "Princess." ”
"Where's the prince? I'm here to invite the prince. ”
"The prince entered the palace early in the morning, and when he left the palace, he was detained by King Yi. The princess is not clear? ”
Ling Zhao looked at Juanxiang: "Oh? That's why you knocked out the Mistress's reward? ”
Wanxiang looked at the time, and thought that she could send this woman away quickly, so she bowed and confessed her guilt: "The princess forgives her sins, and her subordinates are busy going out to find out the news of the prince, and they collided with the two sisters."
Accidentally knocked over the princess's bounty, it's really damned. However, his subordinates thought that the prince's affairs were the most important at the moment. ”
Hearing Wanxiang say this, Ling Zhao really couldn't find any problems, so after thinking about it, he had to answer first: "The prince's affairs are indeed the most important." Ayaka, do you have anything you can do? ”
"Subordinate......" Wanxiang didn't trust Ling Zhao from the bottom of her heart, so she didn't want to say anything to plan with her at all.
"Forget it, I'll go into the palace and beg the Empress Dowager."
After speaking, Ling Zhao turned around and wanted to leave.
To beg the Empress Dowager? She probably didn't know the past of the Empress Dowager and Xiao Huaijin's mother, and thought that people would greet her with a few words, just because they really liked her.
It seems that she really hasn't learned anything in the palace in southern Xinjiang.
"The subordinates persuaded the princess not to beg the queen mother, which would only backfire."
Ling Zhao, who had just walked out, turned his head suddenly: "Then do you have any way?" ”
Wanxiang saluted seriously again: "The prince has already explained to his subordinates before leaving, so the princess doesn't have to worry." ”
"Oh? So how did he explain it to you? ”
"The subordinates know that the princess is worried and anxious, but they still ask the princess to forgive the sin, and the subordinates can't tell them."
"Can't?" Ling Zhao looked at Wanxiang as if he was looking for a fault: "I am Princess Pingnan, and I naturally care about the safety of the prince, can't I know your plans?" ”
Juanxiang raised her eyes to reveal a knife-like gaze: "No." ”
"Okay, since I can't go to the Empress Dowager, then I'll send a message to my father......"
"At the beginning, the prince defended the southern frontier because the general of Zhenguo was lacking in skills to conquer the northern fortress, and now the Central Plains is not just a king of Pingnan?
If the princess wants to borrow the power of her mother's family to coerce King Yi to release the prince, don't think about it. There is a saying in the Central Plains that 'family ugliness should not be publicized', but I am afraid that it will push the prince to the forefront. ”
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, can it only be that Xiao Huaijin can remember her well?
Ling Zhao was really angry, but he could only squeeze out one sentence: "In other words, I can't do anything, I can only wait for you to save the prince?" ”
"If there is nothing to do, the princess will go back first, and as for me overturning the princess's reward...... The princess is magnanimous, so it is better to wait for the prince to come back and then make plans. ”
When Xiao Huaijin comes back, can she still care? But now I really don't seem to have much to do.
Even if he didn't want to, he could only let Wanxiang be presumptuous for a while, gritted his teeth and replied: "Okay, then I'll wait for the prince to come back." ”
After saying that, Ling Zhao finally left, and when Ling Zhao left, it was raining outside, and it seemed to be more difficult to go to King Yi's Mansion again.
Wanxiang, the few pages you tore from the account book, Liang Cuo came over and asked, "Are you still going?" ”
"Go."
After saying that, Wanxiang turned around and went into the house to change her clothes, put the pieces of paper into a thin bamboo tube and tied them to the arrows, and went out from the back door of the Pingnan Mansion with the bow on her back.
The light drizzle wet her clothes, stepped on the slippery tiles and sat on the roof of King Yi's mansion, remembering the way Xiao Huaijin held his hand and pulled the bow before, and pointed the arrow at King Yi's room.
As soon as he let go, the arrow pierced into King Yi's window paper and was firmly nailed to the head of King Yi's bed.
I heard King Yi shouting, "There are assassins!" ”
Wanxiang hurriedly jumped off the roof, far away from King Yi's room.
The beauty beside King Yi covered herself with a quilt, and the arrow that King Yi had just shot in opened the thin bamboo tube with rain on it and saw the contents of the account book, and his eyes sank and he said to the person kneeling outside the door: "Be sure to capture the assassin alive." ”
But at this moment, Wanxiang had already left King Yi's mansion, and her footprints were washed clean by the rain, as if no one had ever come.
Liang Cuo was waiting for Wanxiang at the back door of the Pingnan Palace, watching the rain get bigger and bigger, holding the umbrella in his hand and looking back and forth. Finally saw Juanxiang running back from not far away.
As soon as he pulled up the incense and returned to Xiao Huaijin's yard, he sneezed into the house first.
Then he rubbed his nose and said, "The rest depends on how Bai Ninghou goes to Qingyuefang to inform." ”
"Why don't you go yourself? Do you want to ask for Bai Ning? ”
"Not only can't I go, but this palace can't be lived, neither of us can be caught by King Yi."
"What do you mean? Leaving now? ”
"Yes." Wanxiang looked back at Qi'er: "Qi'er also has to go together." ”
King Dingyi will search the Nanwang Mansion tomorrow, even if he doesn't search, the princess may not know what will happen, so he took advantage of the rainy night to leave with the account book.
As a result, the next day, King Yi really personally took people to Pingnan Wangfu to search, and the little emperor watched King Yi break into Xiao Huaijin's mansion.
It seems that the emperor really indulges King Yi, even if it is a royal plaque, it can no longer stop King Yi from stepping into Xiao Huaijin's courtyard gate. The result was that King Yi didn't find anything, knowing that the Pingnan Mansion had lost three people, but he couldn't find them.
King Yi didn't dare to joke with his own life, so he reluctantly let Xiao Huaijin go within a few days.
Hearing Liang Cuo say that he was going to pick up Xiao Huaijin back, Wanxiang didn't show too much excitement. Liang Cuo remembered her anxious appearance that night, and couldn't help but feel curious: "Are you unhappy?" ”
"Expected." In fact, she had just breathed a sigh of relief, and finally she didn't have to hide anymore, she could hurry back to the palace and wait for Xiao Huaijin to come back at the door.
When he got out of the car, Wanxiang stood in the distance and saluted: "Lord Wang! ”
Xiao Huaijin looked up and saw that this girl was looking at herself carefully, Xiao Huaijin suddenly smiled. She walked over with a scimitar: "Where does the prince live every day these days?" What to eat? Can you be punished? ”
Xiao Huaijin stretched out his hand to pry away the broken hair on the sideburns of the incense: "Although this king lives in a prison cell, he is served by a good student on a soft pillow and jade couch. He ate as usual, and was not punished. ”
"King Yi didn't fabricate any evidence to trouble the prince?"
"His royal brother is the eldest brother and the younger brother is very polite. The king was unharmed, so the emperor should have dispelled some of his worries about me. ”
Hearing this incense nodded, Xiao Huaijin asked, "Can this king enter the door now?" ”
"Hmm!"
Xiao Huaijin followed behind Wan Xiang and felt very down-to-earth in his heart, and the smile on his face never went down from beginning to end, until when he saw Ling Zhao, Xiao Huaijin's face became stiff again.
"Lord Wang."
Looking at the clothes on her body and the fat powder on her face, you can know that she is dressing up with heart. Xiao Huaijin frowned slightly: "What's the matter?" ”
"The prince hasn't been back to his house for a long time......"
"King Yi didn't embarrass you, did he?"
"I didn't ...... No. Ling Zhao looked at the person in front of him, mistakenly thinking that he was worried about himself.
In fact, Xiao Huaijin just didn't want her to be dragged down by herself, and she must have not been wronged by her appearance, so she turned around and took the incense back to the yard.
Looking at the two figures in front of him, one black and one red, one majestic and one slender, one walking in front like the wind, and the other following like water.
No matter how you look at it, they are more like a couple.
Ling Zhao's heart was as uncomfortable as ever, and he was even more unwilling. She firmly believes that Xiao Huaijin still has a little memory of herself in her heart, if the fragrance is no more, those coldness should be no longer a little bit.
As soon as she arrived in the courtyard, Wanxiang couldn't stop asking Xiao Huaijin: "Did the prince deliberately leave a flaw for King Yi to catch, or was he really careless?" ”
"Your heart should be like a mirror." Xiao Huaijin looked back at the girl again: "Is the injury healed?" ”
"This scene of the prince's trouble is really thrilling, no matter how serious the injuries of his subordinates are, they don't dare to be bad." After saying that, Wanxiang deliberately sneezed again.
