He Xi looked at him fixedly and said with a firm expression: "Uncle Lu, you and my father are like brothers, my father often takes me to your house to play, you once asked me, who would you like to marry, I replied at that time, I am willing to marry the best man in the world, you also jokingly call the best man in the world is the Son of Heaven, do you remember?" ”

Lu Chuan's knees weakened, kneeling down in front of He Xi, his eyes were full of tears, in this way, it was indeed Mu Jin who had said to himself, it was exactly the same, and there were only a few of them that day, it was impossible for outsiders to know, his hand unconsciously touched He Xi's cheek, and said in disbelief: "Child-child-is it really you?" ”

He Xi nodded, holding back tears and said: "It's me, Uncle Lu, it's me-I didn't want Uncle Lu to get involved, but I really can't help it, Uncle Liang didn't have news half a month ago, our people can't find him, Jin'er is worried-"

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, even though he had a thousand words to say, but after all, he swallowed all his doubts, he got up, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "Okay, since this is the case, the minister will take Niangniang out of the palace——"

He Xi was full of joy and nodded.

Lu Chuan really did what he said, and immediately made it clear to Tuoba Chen, only saying that He Xi's weather was cold and his leg disease recurred, and he was afraid that rash medication would affect the child in He Xi's womb, so he had to use medicine to supplement the treatment. When Tuoba Chen heard this, he naturally hurriedly let go.

On the way, He Xi explained the cause and effect clearly, Lu Chuan first sighed at Gao Yuan's superb medical skills, such a makeover skill, I am afraid that he will not be able to achieve it in his life, he admired: "In the past, when I met him and me, I knew that he was a person, although he looked young, but his medical skills were profound, but I didn't expect such a superb." ”

He Xi saw that he showed a look of medical idiot again, and inevitably laughed a little: "After so many years, Uncle Lu has not changed at all. ”

Lu Chuan was stunned for a while, and then sighed and said: "It doesn't matter if I change the same, but you kid has suffered a lot, since you have been out of the sea of suffering, why bother to return to this land of tigers and wolves." You've been in danger several times, if I knew—I—" There was a hint of self-reproach in his tone.

He Xi hurriedly patted his hand and said: "Uncle Lu, I am worried that you are like this, Jin'er has always wanted to hide from you, I came back to make him pay the price for the tragic death of more than 100 people in Mu Wangfu, but Uncle Lu, you are full of nobles, you have never been involved in party disputes, you are wholeheartedly the main, and you have no real power, it is precisely because of this, even if you have been friends with Mu Wangfu, it has not been affected, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune." ”

Lu Chuan nodded and said: "Once, I also wrote to intercede for Mu Wangfu, but Your Majesty turned a deaf ear, at that time I only thought that it must be a traitorous minister who secretly made trouble, but I didn't want the emperor to deceive himself." ”

He Xi's eyes grew cold, and she said: "He is unkind, and if he believes in Lan Zhili's words, the king with a different surname can't tolerate it, so he slaughtered me all over the house, and he was charged with such a crime, but paper can't keep the fire after all, Uncle Lu, you wait, I will personally sacrifice my Mu Heroic Spirit with his life." ”

Lu Chuan was shocked in his heart, this was still a disobedient word, he hurriedly covered He Xi's mouth, and whispered: "Child, you can't say this to others, if it is said by someone with a heart, you will invite death." ”

Seeing him so cautious, He Xi only felt as if there was warmth slowly flowing in his heart, it was a long-lost touch and warmth, how long has it been? She doesn't seem to remember how long it has been, someone cares about herself so much, clumsy but full of sincerity, she suddenly remembered her father, if her father was alive, she would definitely protect herself from the slightest grievance.

The wheels rolled over the bluestone road, the noise on the road gradually became far away, the surroundings became quiet, He Xi opened the curtain, only to see the carriage slowly parked in a dark alley where no one was around, not far away, someone stood respectfully with his hands down.

Lu Chuan said: "In this case, Niangniang is careful in everything, and before and after, the minister will come to pick up Niangniang." ”

He Xi bent his knees slightly, as if he had thanked him, Lu Chuan put down the sedan curtain again, and urged the waiter to leave.

The man walked up to He Xi and said in a low voice: "The shopkeeper is already waiting for Niangniang, Niangniang come with me." ”

He Xi followed behind, bypassing the dark alley, and saw an inconspicuous small door, which was the secret door behind the river, entering from the secret door, it was in all directions, and from time to time there were people in a hurry, they were all ordinary people, the man explained slightly sideways: "These people are our eyeliner, and they are all here to deliver news." ”

He Xi asked, "But there are all over the city?" ”

The man nodded and said, "Yes, there are all over the city, and there will be more people in the more important officials' mansions—what do you want to know?" ”

He Xi's eyebrows tufted slightly, and said, "This palace wants to know when the side concubine of His Royal Highness King Xian will leave the mansion?" ”

The man nodded and said respectfully: "When the subordinates take Niangniang to the shopkeeper's study, they will go to check, and Niangniang will wait." ”

While the two were talking, the secret passage had come to an end, the man gently twisted the mechanism on the wall, and then heard a slight sound, the light came from the front, He Xi tilted his head slightly, and saw an elegant and chic study, an old man, sitting at the desk, saw He Xi hurriedly got up and knelt down and said: "Subordinates see Niangniang——"

He Xi hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up, and said, "The shopkeeper doesn't need to be polite, the palace came here today just for Uncle Liang, but there are still no clues?" ”

The man took the corner of a piece of clothes on the table and said: "This is what our people found in Mr. Liang's room, maybe it was left during the fight, I saw that the clothes were embroidered with dark lines, so I stayed behind, thinking if I could find any clues." ”

He Xi took the cloth and looked at it carefully, it was a very ordinary black fabric, not a very expensive material, but the dark pattern was very peculiar, embroidered with silk thread in a ring shape, embedded in the square, and there were simple plant lines, intersecting, very complicated.

He Xi became more and more sure in her heart, and she said: "This is something from southern Xinjiang, and the people of southern Xinjiang believe in Allah, and there will always be such patterns on their services, which is different from the Central Plains." ”

The shopkeeper shook his heart and said: "Nanjiang, isn't that the prince?" Could it be the prince? ”

As she was talking, suddenly there was a knock on the door, it was Ruyi, she stood outside the door and said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, our people said that Xiao Nai of the Xianwang Mansion will come to Jianglou today——"

He Xi's smile rose to the corner of her lips little by little, and she clenched the clothes in her hand and said: "It's really a coincidence, then let's settle the new and old hatreds together today, the shopkeeper, I'm tired of you." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly retreated.

If he saw that the shopkeeper had gone out, he turned around and came in, and when he saw that He Xi was just holding the tea and not speaking, he said, "Niangniang, what do you want to do today?"

He Xi took a sip of tea gently, and the bitter taste faded and then became a hint of sweetness. She slowly closed her eyes and said: "Many things may not have been done by her, but behind her is the entire Southern Xinjiang Xiao Clan, how big is the Xiao Clan?" Even if our prince wants to ascend the throne as emperor smoothly, he has to rely on the help of the Xiao family. ”

Ruyi's worries between her eyebrows became deeper and deeper, and she said: "Then if we rashly move Xiao Nai, I'm afraid we will annoy the Xiao family, and then-"

He Xi slammed the tea cup on the table, the crisp collision sound was like a thunderbolt, crossing Ruyi's heart, He Xi said in a slightly cold voice: "We have already offended them, and they can't wait to get rid of me at this time." ”

As he was talking, the shopkeeper appeared at the door and replied respectfully: "Niangniang, the person is already in the private room, and I invite Niangniang to come over." ”

He Xi suddenly got up, and the hem of her skirt drew a sharp arc, like a delicate and small sword, ready to stab people's chests.

He Xi pushed open the door of the private room, only to see Xiao Nai bowing his head and talking to the maid, his face was full of shyness, and the maid smiled: "If the prince knew that the young lady was so attentive, he would have gone out of the house all the way to buy the latest pastries from Linjiang Building for the prince, and he would definitely praise the young lady Yi Room IKEA——"

Xiao Nai said with a worried face: "But tortoiseshell, do you think that Brother Yue has been a little different to me recently?" This maid was specially selected by Xiao Tian from his side, smart and clever, seeing Xiao Nai like this, tortoiseshell had many thoughts in his heart, and then said with a smile: "What did Miss say about this?" Isn't it because the prince postponed the wedding date, thinking too much? ”

As he was talking, the door of the listening door was kicked open hard, and a wonderful person in the palace walked in from the outside, it was He Xi.

Xiao Nai was shocked by the sudden situation, she subconsciously got up and hid behind the tortoiseshell, and when she saw the person clearly, her full moon-like eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, and said, "Why are you here?" ”

He Xi motioned to Ruyi to close the door of the private room, and then sat at the table by himself, poured himself a cup of tea, and said lightly: "What am I going to do, don't you know in your heart?" ”

Xiao Nai's eyes flashed with a hint of emptiness, and said, "I-how would I know-you don't stay in the palace well, if you are-"

Before she finished speaking, she saw He Xi throw a piece of dark blue fabric in front of Xiao Nai, and said in a deep voice: "What is this, you must also know it, let's not talk in secret tomorrow, where is Liang Qiren." ”

Xiao Nai's face changed greatly, and he got up and wanted to walk out of the door, but he didn't want to, Ruyi blocked in front of the door, motionless.

Xiao Nai was furious and scolded: "Bold, don't you know whose slave you are? How dare you stop me? Get the hell out of here—I don't know what to live or die-"

Ruyi said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The slave maid was sent to the mother by the prince, and the master of the slave and maid is naturally the mother, please go back." ”
