Chapter 131: Don't be weak

The carriage was suddenly stopped, Yu Ruyan was a little confused, and was about to lift the curtain to see what was going on outside, when the copper coin had whispered outside through the curtain: "Your Highness, princess, that ...... Concubine An and the other masters of the palace welcomed them to the gate of the city, and now, now they are greeted outside the car! ”

Mu Lingzhi was annoyed in his heart, and said angrily: "Let them go back, this palace doesn't have time to see them." ”

Although Yu Ruyan is now returning as the princess of Daqi Heshuo and the princess of Mu Lingzhizheng, when she thinks of what happened in the palace before, her heart inexplicably swells up with a little panic.

After all, she is not a person who is used to being powerful, and now even if her status is much higher than them, she doesn't know how to face An Lirong and them.

However, in the next second, An Lirong's voice was heard respectfully sounding outside the car-

"Your Royal Highness, please forgive the concubines and other rudeness, the concubines heard that His Royal Highness came back with Princess Daqi, and she was excited. specially led the ladies of the house to personally welcome the princess back to the house outside the city. The concubines are here to say hello to the princess! ”

As soon as her voice fell, the others already echoed her voice and said, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

Originally, Mu Ling's return to Beijing was a major event, which alarmed many people to come to see their brave and invincible Third Highness, but now they were troubled by the women of the palace, and suddenly the passers-by, and even many people in the city ran over when they heard the sound, and they all surrounded the surroundings one by one, and they looked at the excitement with excitement.

In the carriage, Mu Lingzhi's face was gloomy and frosty. And Yu Ruyan's heart was also cold.

The ladies of the palace obviously heard the copper coin call her 'princess', but in front of the people of the city, they kept calling her 'princess', in fact, they were refusing to recognize her identity as the princess of the palace.

Although she understood the meaning of their words, Yu Ruyan couldn't find fault with them, after all, she and Mu Lingzhi had a peaceful relationship on the agreement signed by the two countries, and they didn't really worship in the church, and her name had not yet entered the jade plate of the Liang royal family, so it was normal to call her a princess.

But in this way, it is inevitable that the people who watch the excitement will be criticized-

Since the two have not yet married, how can they sit together so intimately, and no one can laugh at it, this princess of Daqi is too reserved!

The world has a contemptuous look at the princess sent by the weak country and the relatives, just like the prince who is held hostage in another country, although the status is noble, but it is a pity that he is in a foreign country, and he will not be treated as a real prince and princess, and he often has to be despised and underestimated!

The careful thinking of these women in the palace, how could Yu Ruyan not understand.

At the beginning of the palace, these women couldn't wait for her to die one by one, and even made such a stiff mess in the end, especially in the end, Gu Qing'er and the assassin, An Lirong came to the prison cell in the middle of the night to hang her, and the others also joined forces to accuse her of all kinds of crimes of collusion with the assassins in front of Mu Lingzhi, forcing Mu Lingzhi to lock her up again, successfully separating Mu Lingzhi's trust in her, hurting each other's hearts, and finally the two parted painfully!

All of this has been sealed into the dust by Yu Ruyan, as if it was a matter of the previous life, but now when she heard those familiar and vicious voices again, these grievances and grievances poured into her mind again......

I wonder how they would describe themselves now that they have reappeared in front of them as Princess Heshuo and the princess-to-be?

The sun on the early autumn morning was shining like gold on everyone, Yu Ruyan reached out to lift the curtain but was stopped by Mu Lingzhi, he said in a deep voice: "I know what they are thinking in their hearts, but they just want to find out your reality, so one by one they ran to the people in the Eastern Capital to greet you, heh, as everyone knows, you are Xiaoqing who was persecuted and bullied by them." I hope you don't have the same kindness as before when you go home! ”

Yu Ruyan saw that he actually saw the thoughts of those women outside so thoroughly, and couldn't help laughing: "Listening to His Highness, he doesn't want me to forgive them, but wants to settle the old accounts with them that once bullied me!" ”

Yu Ruyan was originally a joke, but she didn't expect Mu Lingzhi to be extremely serious and said: "You are a princess, or the princess of Daqi, you were bullied like this but didn't say anything, do you think it's appropriate?" ”

"To be a man, you can be kind, but you can't be weak."

Mu Lingzhi patted her sign and said in a deep voice.

Yu Ruyan was a little stunned when she heard his words, and it took a long time to react, and she hesitated: "Your Highness's meaning is to let me ......"

"Don't show mercy, let alone worry about me, I will definitely be on your side."

After speaking, Mu Lingzhi stood up and was about to walk out, Yu Ruyan said, "What does Your Highness want to do?" ”

"Go out and drive them back, lest you be embarrassed here!"

Yu Ruyan stopped him, and said with a slow smile: "Your Highness, they have all worked hard to come here from the city to greet me, if I don't show up, won't it make people criticize me for being too big a princess." We're going to see each other sooner or later, so let me go out and meet them. ”

With that, he got up and tidied up his dress, slowly lifted the curtain, and stepped out of the carriage.

An Lirong and the others waited outside for a long time and didn't see the slightest movement in the carriage, and the onlookers began to talk quietly, all of them said that this princess of Qi was so big, and she didn't care about her highness's wives and concubines outside for so long, and suddenly everyone was filled with righteous indignation.

But when Yu Ruyan lifted the curtain and walked out, the people watching around couldn't help but exclaim-

Oh my God, I've always heard that there are beauties in the country of Qi, but I didn't expect to see it today, it's really worthy of the name!

Today, I want to enter the palace to meet King Liang and the concubine, so Yu Ruyan's clothes are configured according to the grade of Princess Daqi and Shuo-

A dress embroidered with gold and silver coins Luanniao Chaofeng embroidered pattern drag skirt, the skirt is embroidered with thin gold and silver thread as fine as the moon into a gorgeous begonia and perched branch Luanbird, embroidered with tens of millions of real pearls, and the gold and silver silk thread shines brightly, unspeakably expensive.

The sun sprinkled on her like golden light, reflecting the dazzling brilliance of the gold and silver threads and countless pearls on her body, and her beautiful face was better than the thousands of gorgeous clothes on her body.

The world has always loved to compare, not to mention that everyone knows that this princess of Daqi is going to be married to the third highness as a princess, so one by one, after witnessing the heavenly posture of Yu Ruyan, they can't help but compare her with the ladies of the third highness.

The princess of this Qi country doesn't know how much better than them, especially those sparkling eyes, which are so beautiful, they dumbfounded everyone around them, and their souls are hooked.

And An Lirong and them, from the moment Yu Ruyan lifted the curtain to reveal her true face, they looked at her one by one like fools, and everyone's faces were described as living ghosts, not only their chins, but even their eyes were about to fall out with shock-

Unexpectedly, I didn't want to believe that the princess Heshuo of Qi and the future mistress of the palace turned out to be the cheap maid who was born as a military prostitute!

An Lirong rubbed her eyes vigorously, thinking that she had mistaken her eyes, and when she saw clearly that the person who was walking towards her was really Xiaoqing, the slave maid in the palace before, An Lirong's whole body was shocked, her feet were weak, and she almost fell to the ground, but fortunately she was quickly supported by Kuang Qinqin's eyes behind.

Among the people, except for Kuang Qinqin, who didn't seem to be surprised by Yu Ruyan's new identity, everyone else looked at Yu Ruyan in front of him in a golden dress and jade crown, if she hadn't seen her get out of the car with her own eyes, no one would have believed that she was Princess Heshuo of Daqi.

Chen Yanfei exclaimed even more, looked at Yu Ruyan blankly, pointed at her with trembling hands, and said in horror: "You...... Aren't you the Xiaoqing you used to be? How could it be ......"

I haven't seen each other for half a year, and when we meet again, the identities of both parties have changed dramatically!

The military prostitute who was once bullied and humiliated by them has now turned into a princess of Heshuo and a quasi-princess standing in front of them.

Until this moment, Yu Ruyan stood in front of them again, with a familiar face and a familiar momentum, the difference is that she is no longer dressed in a subordinate uniform and swallows her anger, but is dressed in gold and jade crowns, and her momentum is awe-inspiring.

Even if they are unwilling to accept this fact, it is in vain.

An Lirong's whole body trembled, and the others were also trembling, and Chen Yanfei was even more colorless.

Everyone's hearts began to recall how they calculated and bullied Yu Ruyan before.

Ignoring their stunned eyes, Yu Ruyan slowly came to everyone, smiled slightly, and said in a slightly cool tone: "To tell the truth, although this princess has lived in Daliang for a period of time before, she doesn't know what kind of etiquette is between the princess and her subjects in Daliang's etiquette?" ”

Her gaze swept coldly over the group of women standing in front of her, and she sneered in her heart-

One by one, they respectfully greeted her, but they stood stunned in front of her, and they didn't even bend their waists, which was too perfunctory!

An Lirong's face was whiter than paper, and the others also changed color when they heard the words.

How did they not understand the meaning of Yu Ruyan's words, although they knew her current identity, they should bow to her, but when they remembered that she knelt down to salute them before, such a change made the An family a little unacceptable-

"Plop!" In the end, under the leadership of An Lirong, even if everyone was unwilling, they knelt on the rolling official road of loess with weak legs, prostrate at the feet of Yu Ruyan, and saluted her with a trembling voice.

The yellow sand was rolling on the official road, and the dust raised by the vehicles fell on the kneeling people, these pampered masters and ladies had suffered this, and they didn't dare to cover their noses with silk handkerchiefs to block the dust, and they were choked by the dust and coughed.

Knowing that Mu Lingzhi came back today, the ladies in the back house deliberately got up early one by one, dressed up brightly, and wore out the treasured dresses at the bottom of the box, but now they are covered with dust, and the dresses on their bodies and the makeup on their faces are covered with a layer of loess, and they are suddenly embarrassed!

Yu Ruyan was not in a hurry to let them get up, she looked at the kneeling people on the ground with an indifferent expression, and her eyes swept coldly from everyone's faces one by one.

Except for An Lan, the ladies of the palace came very neatly. Yu Ruyan smiled slowly, "Since they are all former acquaintances, you don't need such a big gift." Get up. ”

After that, he didn't bother to pay attention to them anymore, turned around and walked to the carriage.

An Lirong saw that she was about to leave without saying anything, but Mu Lingzhi, who was thinking about it day and night, couldn't see her in the carriage, how could she be willing?

I think that when he left the Eastern Capital to go to Daqi to find Xiaoqing, he didn't even return to the mansion gate, and left without a sound.

Now that I am finally looking forward to his return, the women in this house are all eager to see him and want to take a good look at him to relieve the pain of lovesickness, so they will run all the way to the city gate to meet him.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, I can't wait to know, what kind of person is the princess of Daqi brought back by His Royal Highness this time?

From the moment they heard that Mu Lingzhi was going on the expedition for the princess of Daqi, An Lirong and the others liked and were anxious.

Happily, His Royal Highness finally forgot about Xiaoqing's cheap maid and no longer put all his heart on her heart. And the anxiety is that His Royal Highness is willing to work for the princess of Daqi, which shows that this princess is more favored by His Royal Highness than Xiaoqing, so she can't help but worry again.

It's really gone, the jackals are coming again, the tigers and leopards are coming!

And when they saw it today, what they never dreamed of was that the jackals, tigers and leopards were the same person!

Thinking of Mu Lingzhi, An Lirong also took care of her unreservedness, opened her mouth to call Yu Ruyan, who was about to return to the carriage, restrained the trembling in her voice, and whispered: "Dare to ask Xiao...... A word from the princess, Your Highness...... Your Highness has always been good? But in the ......"

She couldn't ask the following words after all, when she thought of Mu Lingzhi and Yu Ruyan being together day and night, staying in love, but also because she was willing to sacrifice her life to go to the battlefield. But it was difficult for them to see him again, and their hearts couldn't help but feel sad and painful.

Looking at the longing look on her face, Yu Ruyan said slowly: "Your Highness is very good, don't worry, go back, Your Highness and I will go to the palace to meet the Holy Lord and the noble concubine, and then we will have time to gossip with you." ”

Chen Yanfei's ears were sharp, and he heard Mu Lingzhi's voice talking in the carriage before, and couldn't help shouting: "Your Highness is in the carriage, we came to greet Your Highness early in the morning, and ask the princess to let us meet Your Highness." ”

She said this with a lot of resentment, obviously because Yu Ruyan occupied Mu Lingzhi and didn't let him meet them.

Yu Ruyan couldn't help but smile when she heard this, turned around and walked straight to Chen Yanfei, and said coldly: "Don't say that Your Highness doesn't want to see you again, even if you play tricks to see Your Highness again, it depends on whether this princess agrees or not!" ”

thought that at the beginning, she trusted Chen Yanfei so much, but she didn't expect her to use her trust and friendship to stab her in the back, and also use the kind and honest copper coins as a cover, at a young age, her mind was too dark.

Although she didn't have a good impression of An Lirong and others Yu Ruyan, she was even more disgusted with Chen Yanfei who used her to betray her, so even in front of so many people, Yu Ruyan didn't give her a good look.

Chen Yanfei was provoked by her, her little face turned red, her big round eyes flashed with anger, and she couldn't help but say fiercely: "The princess is now a noble person, of course she can suppress concubines like us who have no status and no status at will." But don't forget, no matter what, we are all His Royal Highness's people, not the princess's husband alone, and it is reasonable for us to want to meet our husband! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone around whispered, thinking that this princess of Daqi wanted to monopolize the favor of Her Royal Highness by virtue of her beauty, which was really a loss of woman's morality!

Chen Yanfei's unscrupulous words made the An family angry in their hearts, but An Lirong also knew that it was very inappropriate for Chen Yanfei to confront Yu Ruyan in front of her like this, so she couldn't help but turn around and pretend to reprimand: "What a big courage, he actually committed the following crimes against the princess, and he didn't ask the princess for his guilt!" ”

"Confronting the princess in public, you are so bold!"

A cold voice came, and at some point, Mu Lingzhi had already gotten off the carriage, stood beside Yu Ruyan, took her hand, and looked coldly at the wives and concubines in front of her, without a trace of temperature in her cold eyes.

"Don't dare to concubine!"

As soon as Mu Lingzhi's words came out, the people who had just gotten up were frightened and knelt down in the loess again.

Everyone in the An clan wanted to see Mu Ling in person, but they didn't expect that as soon as they met, he would be angry. And Chen Yanfei, who had just bumped into Yu Ruyan, was even more frightened, and he didn't dare to look up at him.

"Chen's madness, the following crimes, go back to collect the family law, and be grounded for half a year!"

"Concubine An, if you don't discipline well, you will be punished for one year, and the others will be spared for the time being, and if you commit it again next time, you will be punished together!"

Mu Lingzhi didn't blink his eyes, and punished the two wives and concubines in the palace on the first day of returning to Beijing.

Turned around and took Yu Ruyan's hand back to the carriage, didn't look at the stunned people, and left without looking back.

Chen Yanfei was dreaming of Mu Lingzhi's return, even if she knew that she didn't have any status in his heart, but she loved him deeply and couldn't help but want to look at him more.

In order to make Mu Lingzhi like him, in the past half a year, Chen Yanfei has not been idle for a moment, learning chess skills, learning the art of pushing down, and learning all the things that Yu Ruyan is good at, hoping that when Mu Lingzhi comes back in the future, he can make him like Yu Ruyan as much as he likes Yu Ruyan.

But I didn't expect that this was just a meeting, and before I had time to say a word, Mu Lingzhi actually grounded himself, or half a year!!

Looking at the carriage in the distance, Chen Yanfei couldn't help crying anymore.

An Lirong is also bloodless, she has always known that His Royal Highness loves Yu Ruyan, and now that she knows her true identity, she has no worries about her identity, but I am afraid that he will spoil her and love her even more unscrupulously in the future!

Although Mu Lingzhi only punished her for half a year just now, that amount of money was nothing to her, but Mu Lingzhi punished her in front of the whole city, but it made her lose face.

Listening to Chen Yanfei's crying, An Lirong said hatefully: "Don't cry, isn't it embarrassing enough?" Let's all go back. ”

A group of people came with great interest, and finally they all went back with gray faces and trembling all over their bodies.

Dealing with the women of the palace, Yu Ruyan is not afraid, but now that she wants to see King Liang and the concubine, Yu Ruyan is inexplicably nervous.

Along the way, Mu Lingzhidu held her hand to encourage her and tell her not to be afraid. However, when Yu Ruyan finally dispelled the timidity in her heart and prepared to meet Concubine Xie, their car was met at the gate of the palace with Concubine Xie's phoenix.

Because Xie Guifei was poisoned, she has been raised in the palace for many years, and she rarely leaves the palace, and she suddenly left the palace today, definitely not to welcome them.

Looking at the red gold phoenix in front of him, Mu Lingzhi's heart flashed with a question - what made the mother concubine actually leave the palace in person?

Ignoring the doubts in his heart, he hurriedly led Yu Ruyan to Feng Yuan to ask Xie Guifei for peace, then Xie Guifei heard that Mu Lingzhi was back, and happily opened the curtain beads, but the expression on her face was very anxious, she didn't have time to look at Yu Ruyan on the side, and her anxious tears were about to come out, "Ling Zhi, the prince is gone, how can this be good?" ”

Hearing Concubine Xie Guifei abruptly lift the knife, Mu Lingzhi and Yu Ruyan couldn't help but be shocked all over their bodies, Yu Ruyan was anxious to speak, but was stopped by Mu Lingzhi silently, and asked: "Mother concubine, don't be anxious, what happened, tell me clearly!" ”

"Yesterday I heard that you had returned, and the prince said happily that he would personally welcome you into the city, but the attendants who had been with him told the palace last night and this morning, that the prince had come out of the inn where you lived, and had ridden away alone, and that I had not found anyone until now, and I was worried to death. Now that he is the crown prince, if he is the one who wants to kill him......"

Concubine Xie finally swallowed the words that came to her mouth, after all, this is the gate of the palace, there are many people, and some words still have to be careful.

Listening to Concubine Xie's words, Yu Ruyan and Mu Lingzhi's hearts couldn't help but sink......

The knife was lost because he went to see them, and if something happened to him, they would be to blame.

Concubine Xie Guifei's sharp eyes swept to the pale face of Yu Ruyan, and her expression was slightly stunned!

Although she already knew from Xiaodao that she was the princess of Daqi who married her son and relatives, but because of the previous Gu Qing'er incident, Concubine Xie still disliked her a lot in her heart, thinking that she was too scheming, obviously a princess, but she wanted to hide her identity and live in the palace, and also made a mess of a good three-prince mansion, and later instigated her son to go to the battlefield for her Qi country, all of which made Concubine Xie very dissatisfied in her heart-

Even though she knew that she had saved Chenzhi, Concubine Xie always felt that after her youngest son came back, his temperament was very different from before.

was the closest to her before, but now the relationship with her is not as good as before, after opening and closing her mouth to be 'sister' and 'sister', it seems that her sister, who came out halfway, is more dear than her mother, who worked hard to give birth to him.

Thinking of Mu Lingzhi so distressed about her and defending her, for her sake she was willing to disobey King Liang and go out for the Qi Kingdom, it made the concubine feel that her two sons cared too much about the woman in front of her, and the concubine was inevitably going to eat it in her heart.

As soon as Yu Ruyan saw her coming, she hurriedly saluted her respectfully.

Although Concubine Xie didn't like her in her heart, in front of so many palace people, she still softened her tone and said: "I heard that you saved the crown prince, took him with you all the time, took him with you and took care of him hard, and loved him like a younger brother, this palace is very grateful to you." When the crown prince is busy with the seal, the palace will personally hold a banquet to thank you. ”

After that, he couldn't wait for Yu Ruyan's answer, and he turned his head anxiously to Mu Ling: "Although you have just come back and have been tired of traveling and traveling, but now that the prince is gone, you have to come forward and bring someone to find it." ”

Mu Lingzhi didn't think about it and said: "Don't worry, since the princess has returned, this matter will be handed over to the son, the concubine is in poor health, so let's go back to the palace to rest." The retainers must have brought the prince back to the palace intact. ”

Listening to his words, Concubine Xie Guifei's hanging heart finally relaxed for a moment, and nodded in response.

Mu Lingzhi asked the copper coin to send Yu Ruyan back to the other garden to rest, Yu Ruyan glanced at the direction where the concubine left, and said, "Your Highness, the palace is your and my home after all, and the other garden ...... I can go to stay in the palace when I have leisure in the future, but I still want to live in the palace with His Royal Highness. ”

Mu Lingzhi looked at the figure of the mother concubine leaving, understood the concerns in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh softly and said: "In this case, you will live with me in Yunsong Courtyard as usual, and after I go back, I will issue a strict order, without your permission, no one is allowed to step into Yunsong Courtyard for half a step, so as not to disturb you." ”

After speaking, Mu Lingzhi was also worried about the knife, so he hurriedly took people to look for the knife in the city, and Yu Ruyan took Brother An back to the house first.

These days are too tired to travel, coupled with the matter of sleeping late, Yu Ruyan is already mentally and physically exhausted, she doesn't want to deal with An's them anymore, so she ordered Tong Qian to quietly enter the house through the side door, and let Brother An close the courtyard door as soon as she returns to Yunsong Courtyard.

Returning to the palace and returning to Yunsong Courtyard, Yu Ruyan felt a lot in her heart.

Back in Mu Lingzhi's bedroom, everything in it was still the same as when she left, but the big bed had been replaced.

Yu Ruyan knew that Mu Lingzhi did all this because she was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable if she remembered Chen Yanfei again.

In fact, after experiencing life and death with Mu Lingzhi, Yu Ruyan no longer cared about the unhappy things between her and Mu Lingzhi before, because, in just a few months, she completely understood a truth-

There are thousands of people in the world, and it is not easy to meet someone who truly loves you. Now that she finally met her, she didn't want to waste the rare time between her and Mu Lingzhi because of those intrigues and tricks in the past.

Climbed into Mu Lingzhi's new bed, although Yu Ruyan was extremely tired, she couldn't sleep at all, thinking that the knife would be sealed by the prince tomorrow, and now there was no one, what should I do if I can't find him tomorrow?

I didn't have an appetite for lunch, and I didn't see Mu Lingzhi come back until sunset, and there was no news of the knife, Yu Ruyan couldn't help but be anxious!

She sat in front of the window and pondered where the knife might go, when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she hurriedly went out and walked out towards the garden of the palace.

After nightfall, the palace was very quiet, Yu Ruyan took a shortcut to the small bungalow where she once lived, and when she pushed open the door, looking at everything that had been lost for a long time, her heart was a little sour.

The knife is not in the bungalow!

The furnishings in the small bungalow were exactly the same as when she left, except that there were more books next to the bed that Mu Lingzhi usually liked to read, and a few clothes that he had changed of.

Unexpectedly, after she left, he had been living in this humble bungalow!

Yu Ruyan's heart swelled with sourness and emotion-

Feelings are a double-edged sword, while hurting her, it also hurts Mu Lingzhi.

It is not difficult for her to imagine that when she quietly left the Eastern Capital with a knife, Brother An, when he searched for her, she was sad and sad now, just as she was desperate to go to the battlefield to find him!

His eyes were sour for no reason, but the most important thing at the moment was to find the knife, if something happened to the knife, the blame would have to be on Mu Ling's head.

Yu Ruyan put away her thoughts, and suddenly remembered the stone cave by the garden lake, where Xiaodao usually likes to hide.

She was about to close the door and go there to take a look, but she was attracted by a small worn-out sachet on the table!

Yu Ruyan thought that she had seen it wrong, and she couldn't believe it, so she approached and picked up the sachet to take a look, and was immediately surprised!

She recognized this sachet as a male yellow bag that Mu Lingzhi gave her to prevent snakes when she was in the military camp last year, and gave her a total of five at that time, but she was afraid that the knife would be bitten by a poisonous snake in the wild, so she gave him two to tie on her body.

Later, these two sachets have been carried by the knife, Yu Ruyan saw it a few times, and saw that it was worn out for too long, so he asked him to take it off and make a new one for him, but the knife was never willing to throw it away.

Now that he saw that the sachet on the knife had actually appeared in the bungalow, Yu Ruyan guessed that he must have come there, and her heart suddenly became excited.

After a closer look, I realized that there was still a piece of letterhead in the sachet.

The letterhead was written to her by Knife, and she recognized his handwriting.

It reads, let Yu Ruyan go alone to find him in the small courtyard of Gua'er Hutong where they once lived, where he was waiting for her, and wanted to apologize to her in person for what happened tomorrow night!

Xiaodao repeatedly emphasized in the letter that she was only allowed to go alone, because he wanted to sort out the entanglements in his heart with her and no longer embarrass her in the future. also repeatedly promised that he would not do anything wrong with her again.

At the end of the letter, the knife said—

Sister, I will always wait for you in the small courtyard, if you are not willing to forgive me, do not want to see me again, I will leave quietly, never to return to Daliang!

After reading the contents of the letter, Yu Ruyan was very happy, and finally knew that the knife was fine, and also knew where he went. Moreover, looking at the meaning of his letter, he has understood the impossibility between him and her, and is ready to let go, which is the thing that makes Yu Ruyan the happiest!

She knew that Xiaodao was kind after all, and he had been by her side for so many years, and he didn't hurt him in vain.

went back and whispered hello to Brother An, Yu Ruyan quietly went out of the house from the side door to Gua'er Hutong alone, she must persuade Xiaodao to go back, because he is the most important person in tomorrow's seal ceremony, how can he be absent?

On the other side, Mu Lingzhi, who had been looking for a knife for a day without success, was very anxious, and he didn't even have time to drink saliva all day, let alone eat.

The more time passed, the more worried he became, and he was very afraid that the knife would fall into the hands of the great prince.

On the treetops of the moon, Mu Lingzhi was so tired that he collapsed, but he still didn't want to take a break, and continued to lead people around looking for knives.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city all said that they saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince return to the Eastern Capital last night, so Mu Lingzhi believed that as long as he was in the Eastern Capital, he would definitely be able to find him.

However, at this time, Tong Qian found him anxiously and told him that the prince had found it, and in a small courtyard in Guaer Hutong, it was the concubine Niangniang who led someone to find it herself.

Suddenly, when he heard the news of the knife, Mu Lingzhi was unusually happy, but when he came back to his senses, he noticed that there was no joy on Tong Qian's face, but his face was full of hesitation, as if he had encountered something bad, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said coldly: "Do you still have something to tell me?" ”

The copper coin was looked at by his deep eyes, and he was so frightened that his liver jumped straight up, and he trembled: "When Niangniang found the prince, there was ...... in the house There was also a man in the house......"

Looking at the frightened appearance of the copper coin, Mu Lingzhi's heart became inexplicably flustered, and he couldn't help but ask eagerly, "Who else is in the house?" ”

"And ...... And the princess ......"
