Li Siniang's case is still unsolved, and the new prefect of Wangzhou, appointed by the imperial court, has arrived.

Hu Yu and others also discussed in private, feeling that this prefect must be a new official who has three fires in office, and he is very strict with them.

However, unexpectedly, the new prefect was very kind, and he was even more kind to Lin Boqin, almost to the point of asking for warmth, Lin Boqin was suspicious, and the next day the imperial court official sent the decree to him.

It's not a letter from the ministry, but a clear holy decree!

At that moment, all the people of the entire government went to the Yimen and knelt down to listen to the order.

“…… Lin Boqin, a Qing official in Wangzhou, was fair and honest, resolute and resolute, solved many cases, and personally arrested the Jiangyang thief Yu Xuanji, and I was very happy. Now the pro-system awarded the capital Dali Temple is positive, from the five products, given a scarlet robe, silver turtle bag, the same day to take office, there must be no mistake. Chin this. ”

After the herald finished speaking, he closed the holy decree with a smile and handed it to Lin Boqin: "Lord Lin, congratulations." ”

Lin Boqin was a little stunned.

When he heard the words "Jiangyang Great Thief Jade Xuanji", he was in a trance.

Fortunately, Gu Jingtong next to him reacted quickly and pushed him, Lin Boqin came back to his senses, and answered with both hands: "Weichen, thank you Lord Longen." ”

"Lord Lin, hurry up." The herald helped him up, said a lot of compliments, and waited for him to pack up his things and go to Beijing together. Over there, Gu Jingtong took out the silver and thanked the herald, and couldn't help but be full of joy, and said to Lin Boqin: "Peizhi, your opportunity has come!" ”

Lin Boqin was still a little confused, he looked at the holy decree in his hand, but he felt heavy.

If he hadn't sent Chu Cheng back to the cage, how could he have received holy grace today?

He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What chance can we talk about?" It's just another official game. ”

"That's not what I meant." Gu Jingtong pulled him aside, "I mean, when you arrive in the capital, you can go to Princess Huarong." ”

“……”

Lin Boqin frowned and clenched his fists: "How can I find her?" ”

"Why are you so unproductive?" Gu Jingtong counted him down like this for the first time, "When you arrive in the capital, you have the idea of getting ahead, and the fifth-grade official is small, but you can wait for you to climb to the third-grade, second-grade, or even first-grade officer!" Asking the emperor to marry a princess, why is he not confident? ”

Seeing that Lin Boqin didn't answer, he hurriedly persuaded again: "Don't forget, you and I have gained fame and studied hard day and night, just to be able to enter the phase!" You don't say it's for the ideal of youth, but also for Princess Huarong! ”

Gu Jingtong's words made Lin Boqin's eyes burn with a trace of hope.

Not for him, but for Chu Cheng.

She tried to escape from the palace at the beginning, she didn't want to marry Chen Yu'an, she chose herself, and she couldn't let her regret it.

"Go to the capital to find her and explain the misunderstanding clearly." Gu Jingtong stared at him and said word for word, "Although the capital is dangerous, there are opportunities everywhere. Peizhi, with your talent, you will be able to rise to the top! ”

Lin Boqin thought about it too.

Then Wu Guangbi can take advantage of the afterglow of Taishi Chen, and everyone in the court is stammering, how can he Lin Boqin?

Joining Dali Temple, although the official position is small, but the power is not small. The entire major cases in the states of Dayuan must be reviewed and tried by him, and if a few beautiful cases are handled, and then they are entangled with Huo Ying, they will not be able to make their mark.

Lin Boqin took out the peony flower silver hairpin from his arms, and his eyes were deep.

He was alone, and there was nothing to take away, so he entrusted the mansion to Gu Jingtong, and told him not to snub Li Siniang, so he took Yang Lahu Yu and two cronies to the capital.

***

It is the best spring of the year, and the capital is better than the smoke willow.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, prosperous and rich, the streets are flat, the shops on the left and right are lined up one after another, the wine flags are displayed, and people come and go.

There are four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the city, and the bronze statues of the green dragon, Xuanwu, Vermilion Bird, and the white tiger are erected at the city gates, and the symmetrical trend hugs the palace.

The crimson walls of the palace enclose the palaces, and at night, the sparse shadows of the branches reflect the glazed tiles, and the shadows are full of shadows, like a huge flood beast is quietly dormant.

Fengyang Palace.

"Huanyue, can the princess rest?"

The girl with a double palace bun asked another palace maid at the door of the dormitory with a bowl of jade japonica porridge and a few delicate side dishes.

Seeing that it was Xixing, Huanyue sighed and said with a sad brow: "Since returning to the palace, how many times can the princess fall asleep?" Even if you fall asleep, you will always be awakened by nightmares. ”

Xixing looked at the tray in his hand and said helplessly: "If you and I had accompanied the princess at that time, maybe there would not be today's situation." ”

The two of them had already inquired about Xi Du and Mao Bi, and they were all shocked to learn that Chu Cheng and Na Lin Boqin had an entanglement. In the end, the two of them have lived in the palace for a long time, and they have explained countless times to the simple-minded Mabi and Xidu, and they must not tell anyone about this matter, otherwise it will be a big crime to kill their heads. Twilight and Mabie were also very obedient and immediately kept silent.

Xixing has been following Chu Cheng, so he understands her mood very well.

She hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and knocked on the door: "Princess, the slave maid asked the imperial dining room to prepare your favorite jade japonica porridge for you." ”

After a while, a voice sounded in the room: "Come in." ”

Xixing pushed the door in, and saw Chu Cheng sitting next to the low table, wearing only a wide and leisurely moon-white dark flower palace dress, with black hair spread behind his head, lining a small face pale.

But those eyes were red and wet.

"Princess, it's just spring, the weather is still cold, you have to rest." Xixing put down the tray, and immediately found a cloak of a silver fox fox fur and gently draped it on her.

Chu Cheng snorted, a little distracted.

“…… Princess. Xixing's complicated opening made her sad again, "Don't think about it anymore, eat something, right?" ”

Chu Cheng picked up the bowl and looked at the green jade japonica porridge, which was obviously very tempting, but her throat and eyes seemed to be blocked by stones, and she couldn't swallow a mouthful.

She barely ate a few bites and put it down again.

"Princess, the slave knows that this is more than right, but she still has to say it to you. The past is gone, don't be sad. "When has Xixing seen her princess look so sad? used to be bright and flamboyant, but I couldn't see it at all.

I don't know what means Lin Boqin used to give their princess?

Tsk, what a fox!

When Chu Cheng heard this, she laughed, "Xixing, you think too much, this palace is not sad, just thinking." ”

Xixing was slightly stunned: "What does the princess have to think about?" ”

"Thinking a lot." Chu Cheng said lightly, "My father has issued a holy decree to announce to the world, saying that the strange illness in this palace has been cured, and this is God's blessing." Ming'er used the excuse of setting up a banquet in the palace, and Chen Yu'an, the master of Chen, will inevitably come, guess what? ”

Without waiting for Xixing to answer, Chu Cheng said in a cold voice: "I will definitely bring up the marriage between this palace and Chen Yu'an, I can't say, as soon as the queen mother surnamed Chen is happy, he will be hired directly." ”

They have always known that Chu Cheng is unwilling to marry, and no one in Chu Cheng's heart was very disgusted with Chen Yu'an, not to mention that her heart has been deceived by that fox charm now, and she can't persuade her.

Thinking of this, Xixing cursed Lin Boqin a few more words before offering advice to Chu Hui: "Or...... The princess lies that she is ill tomorrow? Inconvenient to attend? ”

"Hongu thinks so too." Chu Cheng raised her hand and touched the red dankou on her neatly trimmed nails.

"But Your Majesty will definitely find a doctor to treat the princess, and if you learn that the princess is pretending to be sick, you will inevitably blame the princess." Xixing's worry is not unreasonable, this time Chu Cheng returned to the palace, Emperor Jianwu and Empress Renxiao did not fall a few of her, and even Emperor Jianwu ordered the forbidden army to guard her Fengyang Palace impenetrable, and the use was reduced again and again.

Chu Cheng just smiled when she heard this.

She turned around and picked up the gilded candlestick on the desk, pulled out the candle that was the thickness of her baby's arm, lifted the hem of her skirt, and slashed the ankle with the sharp tip of the candlestick, and the blood gushed like a spring.

"Princess—"

Seeing this, Xixing screamed in horror and pounced on her to snatch the candlestick from her hand, "What are you doing here? ”

Chu Chengliu's eyebrows were slightly frowned in pain, and then she said lightly: "Do a full set of plays." Go ahead and call the Imperial Doctor to Hongu. By the way, Huanyue Ming'er reported to the queen mother early in the morning, saying that the palace had injured her foot and could not walk an inch, and she would have to recuperate in Fengyang Hall next month. ”

Xixing had no choice but to respond, and ordered Xi Dusk Haobi to press Chu Cheng's wound, and hurriedly rushed to pass the imperial doctor.

Not long after, the news of Princess Huarong's injury spread throughout the palace.
