When Shaohua secretly returned to the room, Wanhua was still asleep, she tiptoed off her shoes and climbed into bed. Suddenly, I thought of the reason why I ran out, thinking about the thrilling side just now, Shaohua sighed helplessly, whether it was Jinhua or Yan Sui, she couldn't help it.

When I thought of tonight's adventure, I was panicked and happy, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but rise, I clenched the sachet in my hand, and I slept until dawn.

When she woke up, Chu He told Wanhua that she had already gotten up and freshened up and went out, and Shaohua hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, "What happened this morning?" ”

"What's the matter?" Chu He was confused by the question, and thought for a while: "Oh, I heard that the group of guests left early in the morning yesterday, so the second young master asked the ladies to dine together in the middle hall." ”

"They're gone?" Shaohua was stunned for a moment, and thought about sneaking out to see more today.

Chu He helped Shaohua comb his hair, and then went to make the bed, "I heard Ah Fu say that someone came early in the morning, and it seemed that he was in a hurry to find those people yesterday." Chu He shook the quilt and found a purse on the bed, picked it up and asked Shaohua, "Five Niangzi, is this purse from the Third Lady?" ”

"It's not ...... He took it wrong. Shaohua was about to say that this is not the sachet I lost before, but when he turned his head, it looked like a men's gold thread embroidered Pisces royal blue purse. Thinking that it must have been the wrong one last night when he was in a hurry, Shaohua snatched it up, "I, I'm going to go and ask the third sister." "This must not be known, otherwise the Ling clan will have to break her legs.

One for two, Shaohua looked at the purse in his hand with a smile, and suddenly felt that his sachet was really valuable, and he changed two in a row, and he still carried it closely. If you return the purse back like this, it will be a bit reluctant.

"Fifth sister, what is so happy, but what kind of good dreams did you have?" As soon as Shaohua went out, he met Jinhua and Yan Sui.

Looking at the two of them, they were both refreshed and smiling, and they really couldn't guess who escaped in the dark last night. Isn't she dazzled? Shaohua quickly vetoed this idea, she may be dazzled once, but it is impossible to be dazzled so many times, obviously she still saw it downstairs after chasing it out. Unless the figure didn't run out, but slipped in in the first place.

"It's nothing, I dreamed last night that a thief sneaked in, and it turned out to be my escape." Shaohua replied with a smile.

When Yan Sui heard this, she giggled, "Fifth sister really likes to laugh, how can there be thieves coming in the place where the lady lives, even if there is, there are also second brothers and fourth brothers in this garden, how can you let a little lady come out to catch thieves." ”

Shaohua nodded matter-of-factly, "So I dreamed, but the dream was real, and I remember how she escaped." She said, surveying their faces.

Yan Sui shook her head, walked over and grabbed her arm and said, "It's time to wake up, I ran to catch the thief in my dream, and I won't be hungry when I walk." ”

Seeing that there was nothing abnormal between the two, Shaohua had no choice but to hide the doubts in his heart and follow out.

The three brothers sat down early, and Si Yan looked sleepy, obviously just dragged out of the bed. Yi Chen's face was still haggard, compared to the amount of alcohol, he was much better than Si Yan, but his body had not yet healed, so he quickly asked Li Sinian to shout.

Li Sinian sat quietly, and after the girls all came in to say goodbye, he asked people to serve food. As soon as the dishes were ready, they let people retreat, smelling the aroma, everyone was so hungry that they didn't pay attention to the whereabouts of the others in the middle hall.

A bowl of wild mushroom pheasant porridge, smooth and tender chicken, accompanied by fresh mountain mushrooms, and a pinch of pepper, is both appetizing and warm. Si Yan couldn't wait to add a second bowl, and everyone else was empty. Shaohua was attracted by the five-color multigrain cake, and sandwiched two pieces in a row, and the sweet and glutinous taste was unstoppable.

"After dinner, everyone went back to clean up, and after lunch, we set off for home." After everyone had eaten seventy-seven eighty-eight, Li Sinian said softly.

"So fast?" Si Yan immediately shook the spirit, and when he saw Li Sinian's inquiring eyes at him, he explained: "Didn't we just come the day before yesterday, and Steward Zhong also said to take us up the mountain." He glanced at Yan Sui, and both of them lowered their heads silently.

"You were almost in trouble yesterday, do you still want to go out and make trouble?" Li Sinian snorted coldly, and the hall was silent.

Although Li Si is only a few years older than them, in the hearts of a group of immature and young teenagers, he is already a heaven and earth existence. Si Yan moved his mouth, wanting to say that yesterday was an accident, and besides, they didn't do anything. It's just that Shaohua spoke too loudly, and was heard by others and ridiculed. But seeing Li Sinian's expressionless face, he swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to refute.

Glancing at everyone, seeing that they did not object, Li Sinian nodded and said, "It's not because of you that you are in such a hurry to go back." There was an urgent report in the palace that the saint was critically ill and was summoning the imperial doctor to enter the palace. Now the people in Beijing are panicking, and they don't know what the situation is, but I am afraid that if there is an accident, it will be even more inconvenient for us to rush back. Li Sinian told everyone about the situation, and even Wanhua was startled. She also thought that the reason why Li Sinian agreed to her request to go home so quickly was only because of yesterday's incident, but she didn't expect the matter to be so critical.

"Sudden emergency?" Shaohua was puzzled, and clearly remembered that not long ago, Mama Rong was still sighing after she came out of the palace that the emperor had not grown old for so many years.

Li Sinian nodded, affirming Shaohua's words, and everyone whispered for a while.

"Be quiet and listen to me." Li Sinian said solemnly, "This matter has not spread, and I also heard a report from the people in Beijing in the morning, so you all keep your mouth shut for me, don't worry too much." After going back, he was not allowed to say who he saw or said in Yanshangju, especially Shiro. ”

"What's wrong with me?" Si Yan was named and somewhat innocent.

"You have made a lot of friends in Beijing, the good and the bad are mixed, don't walk around if you don't have it recently, don't forget that you will have spring next year." Speaking of Chunqiu, Li Sinian's voice lowered, in case something really happened in the palace, next year's Chunqiu would be dragged down.

Everyone was panicked by Li Sinian's stern tone, and they were so nervous that they didn't dare to pant loudly.

"Second brother, since we don't know anything about the palace yet, why can't we wait for the matter to settle down before going back." They are not Hongyi, strictly speaking, there are no officials and no lords, even if the emperor dies, they don't have to rush into the palace.

"If something really happens, the palace gate will be closed at that time, and it will be difficult to get in at that time." Li Sinian saw that they had no intention of eating, so he said: "If it's okay, let's go back after eating, pack up our things, and don't fall behind." Not long after Yinshi, someone came to knock on the door in a hurry, and without waiting for the doorkeeper to announce, he broke in, and the gatekeeper hurriedly ran to find Li Sinian.

Fortunately, Li Sinian has always slept lightly, and when he heard the commotion outside the house, he immediately came out. Unexpectedly, Yan Kaizhi had already run out one step ahead of him, it seemed that the person's dress and panicked look on his face, as well as his respectful attitude towards Yan Kaizhi, Li Sinian also had some certainty in his heart. After a while, Hongyi came out of the house, and he didn't look like the drunk man last night.

"The saint is critically ill, Kaizhi and I will take the first step, and you will arrange the rest." Li Sinian didn't expect Hongyi to entrust him, and he was a little flattered and immediately accepted the order. After sending them out, it didn't take long for Song Yu to wake up, and thinking of Hongyi's words, Li Sinian asked Wei Chi and Song Yu to rush back with the other guards.

The prince is undecided, the emperor is critically ill, and there is nothing more thrilling than this. Above the court, the two older princes were divided into two factions. He often set up a prince to play the emperor on the grounds of settling the hearts of the people, but the emperor was reluctant to give an order. If there is no edict, once the emperor returns to heaven, the world is bound to be in chaos.

The eldest son of the emperor was born by Queen Duanming, and it is understandable to establish a successor, but the matter of the uncle back then inevitably makes people feel guilty. In addition, after Empress Duanming passed away, although the emperor no longer established the queen, he named He Guifei as the imperial concubine and took charge of the six palaces, just like the queen. The second prince Hongyi has a deep maternal bloodline, compared to the gentle and weak eldest brother, Hongyi can be civil and martial, if he is in wartime, he will be a hero in troubled times. If this is just the case, maybe the ministers will not be so difficult to choose, compared to the eldest son of the mother's down-and-out emperor, the second prince obviously has more advantages.

But the bad thing is that the emperor's eldest son Hongwen and Shizi Hongfang are uncles and brothers who grew up together, and compared to the half-brother Hongyi, Hongwen and Hongfang have a deeper relationship with the cousins.

And Hongfang is the only nephew of today's saint, the eldest son of the third prince, and the original emperor also personally gave him the marriage and promised him the youngest daughter of General Dingxi. There is a behind-the-scenes camp of the Three Princes and the eldest son of the Dingxi General, even if there is no strong mother's family, the eldest son of the emperor can still compete with the second prince.

As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and no one can guess the emperor's thoughts, so the ministers can only sway along. Cautious as Li Ge Lao, he simply withdrew from the camp and raised his hand to indicate that neither side was on the side.

"Wu Niang, come over here." Li Sinian called to stop Shaohua who was walking at the end.

She stopped, looked at Wanhua, and after whispering a few words to her, Wanhua nodded worriedly and left first.

"Second brother, what do you call me?" For some reason, in front of Li Sinian, Shaohua was always a little weak-hearted.

"How old are you?" Li Sinian suddenly lost the question that the monk couldn't figure out.

"After the New Year, I will be fourteen." Shaohua replied cautiously.

"Fourteen, fifteen the year after." Li Sinian muttered to himself.

Shaohua didn't know why Li Sinian suddenly asked her age, but in fact, she almost forgot that she was only thirteen years old now. Thinking of Yan Kaizhi, he may also feel confused, and suddenly being pursued so passionately by a thirteen-year-old lady, I don't know if I will think that she is just joking. Suddenly, Shaohua felt a little depressed in his heart, and finally saw him twice. The first time she made both of them embarrassed, and the second time she almost hurt him, maybe he didn't have a good impression of her in his heart.

Suddenly felt a big hand pressing on the top of her head, patted it gently, and then heard Li Sinian sigh faintly: "Yan Kaizhi is a good person." ”

"Huh?" This jumpiness is too strong, Shaohua can't keep up with Li Sinian's rhythm at all.

"Isn't he you like?" Li Sinian frowned, although Song Yu is not bad, he is still slightly inferior to Yan Kaizhi.

"No, I like him." Shaohua's unthinking answer made Li Sinian a little surprised, and also made Shaohua himself ashamed. "I—I mean...... Eh! yes, I'm in love with him. ”

Li Sinian was stunned for a long time, he didn't expect Shaohua to be so straightforward, he came back to his senses for a long time, sighed and said: "If you survive this time, maybe the road is still very long, if there is really a ...... As long as Xingyongbo's Mansion can be saved, you still have a chance. Three years later, you are sixteen, and you are ready to marry. ”

"And then?" Shaohua asked stupidly.

Li Sinian was choked by her words, seeing that she looked ignorant, she took a deep breath, "Then you should go back and pack your things." ”
