Chapter 18: The Sheep in the Tiger's Mouth

Beichen Ye closed his eyes and spoke: "I let you live in Qingfeng Yuan before, and you don't know why?" ”

"Han Gongzi said that Shizi is a superficial man, as long as he is good-looking."

As soon as the words fell, Beichen Ye immediately opened his eyes and glared at Han Yunqian, and Situ Guangyao also turned his head to look at him, with admiration in his eyes, the prince of the world is notoriously small-minded.

Han Yunqian coughed lightly: "I mean, His Royal Highness the Prince cherishes talents, cherishes talents." ”

Beichen Ye sat upright, looked at Mu Jiaren and said gently: "The mother concubine wants to choose a maid for me, I think the more ordinary the woman, the more honest she is, as long as you do a good job, you can meet any request, even if it is a very difficult thing, I will try my best to help you achieve it." ”

Mu Jiaren didn't expect the prince to be so easy-going, compared with the masked man outside the palace, if he made a choice, he would naturally serve His Royal Highness the prince, he had never participated in the disputes in the rivers and lakes, and it was naturally easier to ask for medicine.

To be a man, you must put loyalty first, the prince cares about her, and she will do her best to do things for the son.

"The slave will definitely serve His Highness well."

"You don't have to serve, just do what I tell you to do."

"Yes!"

"I'm not in good health, and my appetite is not very good on weekdays, I don't know if you can help see what seasonal fruits are in the manor under the palace recently, and bring some back."

Mu Jiaren immediately nodded: "Okay, where is the manor of the royal mansion?" When to go? ”

Beichen Ye smiled slightly: "Can I go now?" You seem to know some martial arts. ”

"Yes!"

"Then you go down and get ready."

Mu Jiaren suddenly thought that if she went out of the house like this, would she meet the masked man? How to get rid of his entanglement when the time comes?

Seeing her hesitation, Beichen Ye said gently: "Is there any difficulty?" ”

When Mu Jiaren looked up, he happened to meet his amber eyes, with a harmless expression on his face, feeling that it was a matter of course to give him the whole world, and he couldn't say anything for a moment.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”

Beichen Ye "empathetic" instructed: "Beauty, you don't have to worry, I will arrange someone to protect you along the way, the rivers and lakes are sinister, and your daughter's family is naturally safety first." ”

Mu Jia's heart warmed, nodded, and immediately turned around and went out.

Han Yun looked at her departing back, and couldn't help sighing, there are people watching you inside and outside the palace, Beichen Ye will never let you run again, he is a very cautious person, congratulations on getting his exclusive luxury revenge gift package, bless you!

Situ Guangyao listened to the conversation between the two silently just now, he knew Beichen Ye too well, and the brighter he smiled, the more angry he usually became: "It seems that this girl has offended His Royal Highness, you only eat one bite of the fruits of the palace and don't look at them." ”

Han Yun sighed lightly: "This girl is the only living person who has not been able to catch the prince at present. ”

"Didn't catch it?"

"That is, her light skills are above the world."

"Smack!" Situ Guangyao took the fan violently, very interested, "Wow! Light work is more powerful than leaves, the road ahead is difficult, I don't know when the beauty will return! ”

"Mu Jiaren's role is still very large, and I have to ask about the rest of the matter." Beichen Ye always felt that Mu Jia had a lot to do with the Heavenly Pavilion on the Clouds and the Baicao Valley.

"By the way, this time you chose the maid because His Majesty's holy decree is coming, but can these people really do what you want?" Situ Guangyao changed his demeanor just now, and his expression became serious.

"You said one less person, and Uncle Shuohuang."

Beichen Shuo is the youngest son of the emperor, very well-connected, there was a great suspicion of seizing the throne, after the edict was read, he seemed to be a different person, indulged in mountains and rivers every day, seemed to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes, but in fact coveted the government for a long time.

The Rongjin Mansion has a part of the military power given by the emperor, which is naturally what he cares about, and the Rongjin King has never been with him all the way, Beichen Shuo wants to seize the throne, he must first remove this thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh.

"He's going to be involved too? It's really a bully, how is the old prince doing now? ”

"My father is in good spirits, but sometimes he is still confused and can't remember things clearly." It is no secret that King Rongjin is sick, as early as when the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he was already sick, and it was rumored that King Rongjin would get the throne, and finally gave it to the current emperor due to illness.

The court is always changing, in the emperor's house, even if he has the heart to avoid these disputes, it may not be as he wants, now that his father is sick, there are many people around him who covet the palace, he needs to support the entire palace and protect the people he wants to protect.

Beichen Ye pays attention to Baicao Valley, in addition to seeking medicine, he cares more about the secret of Baicao Valley, which is a secret related to the imperial situation, and Mu Jiaren obviously knows very little about Baicao Valley, plus her affection for Ji Yanxi, this is what he wants to take advantage of.

Mu Jiaren returned to the room and cleaned up briefly, and left a note for Wang Lao Wu, and when she came back, she would ask him to get the wine money as agreed.

When he went out, his subordinates brought a horse and explained: "The nearest Zhuangzi of the palace is Dongzhu Town, if you ride a horse, you can arrive in one day, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World let you not worry, you can come back in five days." ”

Stretched out his hand to take the reins and said thank you, this is a maroon horse, although it is not very tall, but it has a strong body, and the mane of the neck is a wisp of yellowish white near the top of the head, which looks very special.

Xue Qi came back from outside and saw Mu Jiaren riding away, he couldn't help but be a little strange, he went to Liangju Courtyard and called the guards.

"Who took Chasing Cloud away?"

"Your Highness commanded it."

Xue Qi was worried, Chasing Yun's temperament is to eat hard and not soft, although he runs very fast, but if he doesn't submit it at the beginning, it will be difficult to control it later, and with Mu Jiaren's physique, I am afraid that this road will be full of problems.

As Xue Qi expected, as soon as Mu Jiaren left the city, Chasing Yun turned on the walking mode.

"Why don't you go?" She patted the horse's neck, chased the clouds and shook her head, and continued to wander, eating some grass for a while, and running in the woods for a while, not listening to Mu Jiaren's call at all.

Mu Jiaren spent an hour trying various methods, such as verbal channeling, action comfort, and finding delicious fruits for it, but to no avail.

In the end, she pointed in the direction of Huicheng in a fit of anger: "You are a war horse, you should know the way, go back to the palace, and I will be in Dongzhu Town!" ”

Then she slapped the horse's buttocks hard, and ran out directly in pain.

Without a mount, she could only rush over with light skills, and in the evening, when she arrived in Dongzhu Town, she asked a few people and found Zhuangzi in the palace.

"We plant sweet apricots on the farm, which have just bloomed, and it is estimated that it will take a month to eat them."

Mu Jiaren didn't eat at noon, she was in a hurry in the afternoon, and now she was tired and about to collapse, she leaned on the door frame, gasped and asked, "That...... So what to do? ”

"You can go to Huaixi Town and see, the Tianxiang fruit they grow there is the right time to pick."

"How long does it take to get from here to Huaixi Town?"
