In the end, it is the nature of youth. On the third day in Luoyang, the gloom in Xiao Yin's heart almost disappeared.

In the morning, Xiao Yin sat in the porch, lazily teasing the parrot under the porch.

A few girls are busy packing up, and they are about to prepare to leave, and they always have some chores to take care of.

"Lord Shizi." Xiao Huan rushed in in a hurry, and almost collided with a few little girls, and the little girls hurriedly saluted.

"Ain!" Xiao Huan's face was anxious, "The Black Armor Guard is ready to be deployed, and it is probably about to set off." ”

"Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden, it can't be any news from Chang'an, right?" Xiao Yin immediately stood up, could it be that something happened to her sister's body?

"It's not Chang'an, it's the Yuyan Mountain Palace. The crown prince was assassinated in the palace of Yuyan Mountain, and the eldest sister seems to have been injured a little. Xiao Huan was half comforting his sister, half comforting himself, and continued, "The person who sent the letter said that if there is a senior disciple of the divine doctor, he will definitely ensure the safety of the eldest sister." ”

As he was talking, Lu Zhanshi also sent someone in and sent a message saying that the crown princess was recuperating in the Yuyan Mountain Palace, and the chariot was about to leave immediately to go to the Yuyan Mountain Palace. On the other hand, the people of the Huan family also passed the news and asked Xiao Huan to go to the front to talk.

Xiao Yin was very worried about his sister, and he felt guilty for having fun in Luoyang for the past two days, and he was almost happy to think about it. She strode into the house, anxiously urging the girls to hurry up and get their bags ready.

"Why are there only so many, those boxes?"

"Back to Lord Weng, when I first came to Luoyang, Lord Lu said that according to the rules, those things should be packed in a unified manner, and when they arrived in Chang'an, they would be taken care of separately. Master Deng called a few people to move in. ”

"Then he also took that scorched tail!" Xiao Yin was furious. What are these rules? She secretly said in her heart, and when she left the inner courtyard in a hurry, she was going to find Deng Yao.

The carriages and horses were all ready. On the official road in front of the mansion, the black armor guards had already lined up neatly, and the thin black armor guards who had always followed the front and back two days ago were waiting outside the palace gate for news inside. But only Deng Yao's shadow was missing.

"Where's Deng Yao?" Xiao Yin asked when he saw the black-armored guard.

"If you go back to Lord Weng, Lord Du Hu is not here." Rao is Xiao Yin's face was full of anger, and the black-armored guard was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Absent?" Xiao Yin asked rhetorically. This is about to depart, how could he not be there?

"Sister Qinghe," Huan Shizhi came out of the mansion and called, "Is something wrong?" ”

Xiao Yin turned around and saw Xiao Huan and the others walking out of the mansion. Lu Zhan sent his servants and arranged for the coachman to prepare for the departure.

A little anxiety began to appear on the black-armored guard's face.

At the east end of the official road, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, raising bursts of flying dust.

"Lord Togo is back!" The black-armored guard shouted.

Deng Yao walked to the front of the mansion, rolled off the horse, and after saluting Xiao Huan and the others, he unpacked his bag behind his back and took it out, which was a long wooden box that was properly packed. He bowed down and lifted the wooden box.

"I was lucky enough to go to Cheshire and find Mr. Fu, who has repaired Lord Weng's piano properly." Deng Yao was dusty, but his expression and tone were the same as before.

Xiao Yin opened the wooden box, but he was a little stunned, Huan Shizhi once said that Cheshire is a long way from Luoyang, and now Deng Yao will return in three days, is it possible that he is actually a fast horse day and night? However, according to Xiao Yin's observations over the years, Deng Yao, a retainer of the Prince's Mansion, was silent and acted very cautiously and dutifully. Such a self-conceived move is incomprehensible.

Huan Shizhi saw the Jiaowei Qin in the wooden box, and his heart was clear. Xiao instructed left and right: "Deng Duhu's horse is already weak, it just so happens that I just got a few good horses from the Western Regions, you can accompany Deng Duhu to pick one." ”

Deng Yao thanked him and went with the servants of Huan Mansion.

Lu Dingfu was busy arranging, and Xiao Huan also said goodbye to Huan Shi and got into the carriage first. Huan Shizhi watched Deng Yao walk away, and said with a smile: "You guys don't hurry up and help Lord Weng take it." Xiao Yin realized that he was still holding a wooden box. Cai Ping hurriedly took the wooden box, and after Xiao Yin's instructions, he took the wooden box to the carriage.

"Say goodbye today, maybe see you next time, it's in Chang'an, take care of my brother." Xiao Yin said goodbye to Huan Shi.

Huan Shizhi looked a little hesitant, and his eyebrows flashed quickly and he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Sister Qinghe," he finally spoke, "In the future, it will be no better than in Qilan, whether it is Yuyan Mountain or Chang'an, you must be very careful." In the future, if you live in the prince's courtyard, you still have to suppress your own temperament in everything, and it is better not to be like that day in the Drunken Immortal Residence. ”

Huan Shizhi rarely said such a long list, Xiao Yin slipped a trace of doubt in her heart, but more, she was moved, she nodded to Huan Shizhi seriously.

"Also, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always acted well, and the retainers who have to be used in the palace are also cautious, but that Deng Duhu is a little strange. Moreover, I think this person's popularity and demeanor are unusual, and I am afraid that he will not be at the bottom of such a position for long. Huan Shizhi was not at ease after all, and couldn't help but say again, "In short, the prince and sister Qinghe still have to be more careful." ”

When Huan Shizhi was leaving, he deliberately avoided the instructions that people said, which made Xiao Yin very hesitant. In the carriage, she wanted to discuss it with her brother very much, but she was afraid that the black-armored guards outside the carriage would listen to her, so she had to resist mentioning it.

Here, Huan Shizhi saw that everything was in order, and Xiao Huan and his entourage also went to Yuyan Mountain smoothly, so they went back to the house to return to their father.

Huan Youxiang is in the study to review the grain supply from Luoyang to Beijing this season. watched his son come in and put the paperwork on the table: "It's all arranged?" ”

"Back to my father, everything is all right. It's just that the prince was assassinated in the palace of Yuyan Mountain, and the news came, so the prince and the lord set off ahead of schedule. The rest is not bad. ”

"It's good if there's no bad pool," Huan Youxiang said slowly, "Whether it's the prince or the king of Qilan, we don't have to be too flattering." As a courtier, all the things that the saint explains, he naturally has to do his best and do his best. However, on the other hand, they have done too much, made too many friends, and even become colluded parties, but they will never be able to. ”

"The son listens to his father." Huan Shizhi lowered his head and listened. While secretly thinking in my heart, I have always respected my father's bearing, and I have always followed my father's teachings. In addition to doing things seriously, other things, whether it is the prince or other princes, he is categorically unwilling to say much. Today is really an exception, in the end, Xiao Huan and Xiao Yin are old friends, and now they are facing the harem, which seems to be calm, but they have long been undercurrents. Concubine Xiao Guifei in the harem was favored and gave birth to a young son, followed by the crown princess Xiao's illness. What's more, regardless of the assassination of the prince this time, all of them clearly said that this time, Xiao Huan and Xiao Yin's entry into Beijing was very unusual.

The crown prince and the princess are out of harmony, so that they rarely go out together, and he has heard of this. But in the Yuyan Mountain Palace, the prince was assassinated, but it was so coincidental that he was able to hurt the princess by mistake. He suddenly had a guess in his mind.

"Father, the assassination of the prince of Yuyan Mountain, what the hell—"

"This shouldn't be what you asked!" Huan Youxiang interrupted Huan Shizhi's words sharply. Huan Shizhi had to keep quiet, but he couldn't help but feel some worries for his old friend.
