"I'm sorry."

Shaohua glanced at Yan Sui apologetically, ignored her stunned expression, lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, rolled on the ground, and then turned to the corner of the street, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

In order to jump out of the car smoothly this time, she tied cotton cloth to her hands and feet, for fear that she would fall and hurt herself when she rolled off. In order to divert Yan Sui's attention, he affectionately exchanged sisters with her all the way, talking about the things when they were studying together, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious, and Yan Sui was also grateful to her for Shao Huaken's adventure to go out. Shaohua had to smile, while carefully looking at the situation along the road, watching the carriage prepare to turn in the direction of the Xingyong Marquis's Mansion, Shaohua's heart was as nervous as a drum.

Probably she can only be glad that the small courtyard rented by Yichen is near the Xingyong Marquis's Mansion, so she is very clear about the surrounding road conditions, and knows where to get off the car is the safest and where to hide the most hidden. After she got out of the carriage, she quickly hid in a dilapidated courtyard where no one lived, changed into the clothes she had prepared for her sight, and took off all her jewelry. Because he didn't know how long this would last, Shaohua sewed all the silver tickets into his clothes, and even the jewelry he wore when he went out was the most valuable one for emergencies.

Tingfeng Lou is a very famous teahouse on Cheng'an Street, and Shaohua muttered in his heart: How can Hongfang ask her to be in that kind of place, aren't you afraid of being discovered?

However, with Hongfang's identity, if he chooses some small teahouses that are not in the stream, he will probably be more discovered. In order to avoid Yan Sui's carriage catching up, Shaohua deliberately took a short detour, thinking about how to go to Tingfeng Lou, when suddenly a carriage stopped behind her.

"Get in the car!" Shaohua was inexplicably startled, thinking that he had been discovered. was about to escape, but the back collar was grabbed hard, and a familiar chuckle came into Shaohua's ears. "Get in the car if you don't want to be seen."

Shaohua only heard who this voice was this time, and glared back at him angrily, and saw Hongfang looking at her with a playful smile. Shaohua clasped his wrist with his backhand, climbed into the carriage with his strength, and quickly hid in the car. The carriage then moved slowly forward, as if nothing had happened, and as soon as Shaohua entered the carriage, he pushed Hongfang away, hugged the burden with both hands, and sat down next to each other, staring at him with his eyes.

Hongfang looked at her dressed as a shabby village woman, and couldn't help but tease: "It seems that Mrs. Hou is an experienced person, looking at this dress, I almost thought that I recognized the wrong person." ”

Shaohua didn't care about his teasing, thinking about what he promised, he couldn't bear the words in his heart, and turned his head to the side. "Didn't you say you were listening to the Wind Building? How did you get here? ”

Hongfang hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled evilly, "I originally thought that you were like this, how dare you dare to expect you to go to Tingfeng Tower, you will have to be arrested before you cross Duanyang Street." If you can escape from the Li family, even if you have the ability, so I ordered people to prepare carriages at the doors of the Li family early, who knew that you actually had a substitute for the dead. Hearing Hongfang say that Yan Sui was a substitute for the dead ghost, Shaohua's face turned red, but he didn't expect that the carriage that had been following behind him turned out to be Hongfang, "It took me a lot of effort to keep up, you actually jumped out of the car halfway, hehe, it's really dead." With that, Hongfang's eyes darkened, and his smile turned cold.

Shaohua heard it clearly, Hongfang's tone was obviously very displeased, and secretly turned his face to look at Hongfang, and sure enough, he found that his face was very ugly. She suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she couldn't explain why, "Can I escape without jumping out of the car, she still wants me to go to see her brother." "Which serious person is a sister-in-law who would encourage the sister-in-law to go out and go to meet her brother privately, this makes people know, she really doesn't have to gain a foothold in Beijing.

Hongfang listened to her muttering, and didn't say anything, just shook his head and sighed, as if the anger just now was just Shaohua's auditory hallucination. "I really don't know how your grandfather's family pulled you up, this skill and courage can't be practiced for ten or eight years, just following you all the way, I almost lost you several times. It's good that I didn't let you enter the palace, otherwise no one would have caught stealing something. Hongfang was telling the truth, when he saw Shaohua jumping out of the car, he was already shocked by her in a cold sweat, and was about to let people get out of the car to check, but there was no trace of her when he pushed aside the crowd.

It was not easy to find her traces, but she was very cautious, dodging left and right, and her agility was comparable to that of a thief walking the rivers and lakes, not at all like Li Shaohua who he had seen at any time before. Hongfang almost regretted it, he really wanted to catch her and hide her so that no one could see her.

Shaohua made Hongfang Shu lose face a little unbearable, so he simply didn't speak, and just sat like this.

Hongfang didn't mean to talk about her, but he didn't know that he had developed this habit, and he always liked to see her angry and corrupt, as if only then Shaohua would face him squarely. Thinking that he was going to send her away with his own hands, Hongfang's mood also sank and he stopped talking.

The two of them sat with their own hearts, and the carriage moved forward slowly, originally about to meet at an early time, because Shaohua came out early, and it was only three o'clock in the afternoon after going around most of the city.

The silence felt like time was stretched infinitely, and a quarter of an hour seemed as long as hours had passed. Hearing the voices of people outside the car gradually decreasing, there were still some shouts, the carriage suddenly stopped, it seemed that there were officers and soldiers checking, Shaohua was suddenly so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe, but fortunately, he was released quickly.

Sure that she had left the city, Shaohua's mood became even more complicated, and she opened her mouth to say to Hongfang, "Thank you." ”

Thinking that Shaohua was going to be silent all the way to the end, glancing at her, Hongfang raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't accept it." Shaohua looked up at him, changed her usual smile, and changed it to a serious face that made her panic and shortness of breath, and her voice became very low: "If you really want to thank you, stay and marry me." ”

Shaohua felt that his face was hot, and deliberately lowered his face, trying to hide his embarrassment, and scolded: "Crazy." ”

Fortunately, Hongfang didn't dig deeper, and soon returned to his cynical appearance, and smiled: "Since it's impossible, don't thank me, just remember that you owe me." ”

Seeing him put away that look, Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief, unsure of the deep meaning of Hongfang's eyes, and only felt that he didn't dare to be arrogant in his gaze like that. She pursed her lips and said in a somewhat deceitful tone, "What if I owe you, I have nothing to pay you back." ”

Hirokata looked like he was right-handed, "Of course there is." If you give birth to a daughter in the future, remember to send her to the palace, and I will book it for my son. "Although Hongyi has also made a verbal agreement with Yan Kaizhi, it probably doesn't count now.

It's just that Hongfang didn't expect Shaohua to explode when he heard it, and immediately refused, "No!" I would never do anything to sell my daughter for glory. She was unwilling to marry into the palace before she took the risk of jumping out of the car, how could she push her daughter down this road now, this kind of luck is not always there.

"This is not called selling women for glory, at most it is a mother's debt to be repaid." Hongfang snorted as he watched Shaohua shake his head like a rattle, apparently neither of them realizing that it was pointless to fight for this non-existent person. "I don't dislike it, what do you mean by your disdain."

Shaohua said angrily, "Then I have to thank you for not disliking it?" Hongfang responded in one bite, "No thanks." Shaohua choked and rolled his eyes. However, the heavy atmosphere along the way was interrupted by a few words, and soon returned to relaxation and harmony, and even Shaohua did not realize that he had long let go of his prejudices and doubts about Hongfang. "You, forget it, anyway, I don't know if there will be any in the future. Whether you accept it or not, I want to thank you. ”

Hongfang looked at her side face, the clenched fist in his sleeve finally let go, and then spit out, "This path is your own choice, anyway, whether you live or die, I can't help you, you just take care of yourself." However, the Li family's side is probably going to turn the sky upside down. ”

Last night, Shaohua picked up the lamp and wrote a lot of letters, in addition to the Xin Maoshan couple, but also to the Ling family, Li Sinian left a letter, she did not mention the name of Hongfang, nor did she say anything about Yan Sui. Anyway, when Yan Sui ran back to call someone, she would probably have been away from Beijing for a long time, and if she gave the letter to everyone, it would delay them for a while. Now that he was ready to leave home, Shaohua even brought a self-defense weapon, originally wanting to guard against Hongfang, but later felt that if Hongfang really wanted to kidnap her, he would not let Li Sinian take her back to Li's house in the first place, so he was relieved to let him lead him all the way, which also made Hongfang secretly feel strange.

Shaohua said sincerely: "Thank you for your concern, I have already arranged it on the Li family's side, and I will never affect the prince." ”

Hongfang didn't care, "What's the matter, it's not that I went to your house to trick you out, at most the person who was dragged into the water by you was unlucky." He already had the grace to save his life first, who would have thought that he would encourage Shaohua to leave home.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and the young coachman shouted, "The prince has arrived." ”

Shaohua really wanted to get up and go out, but was stopped by Hongfang, he dodged in front of Shaohua, "Don't move, just sit here, and the carriage will send you out, and you will come out when you go farther." Shaohua was confused when he heard it, "Didn't you say that you would go with Kaizhi?" ”

But he saw Hongfang shook his head, "He is a sinner now, you just follow him like this, and he must not be caught." Besides, they will set off at dawn, where can you catch up, I will let people send you to the post station to wait, and you will do the rest yourself. As he spoke, he handed Shaohua a box wrapped in navy brocade, and said in a serious tone: "You take this, if you see him, give it to him, no one can look at it except him." ”

Shaohua took it, only to feel that the eight corners were very hard, and he could only guess that it was a wooden box, "What is it?" ”

Hongfang didn't say anything, but told him repeatedly, "He will know when he sees it, you should remember, take care of yourself, you must not come out before you arrive at the post station, and I don't care if you let people catch me." He gave her a deep look, then closed the door and turned to leave.

……

In the palace, Hongyi was in a rare good mood teasing the two parrots with white feathers and golden crowns, and squinted at Hongfang coming in from outside, taking the food box in the hands of the palace maid, and telling everyone to retreat. While teasing the parrot, he asked, "So soon is it done?" ”

Hongfang watched the two parrots scratch their heads in front of the emperor in order to get food, and suddenly felt funny, "How difficult can it be, but to send someone out of the city." ”

When the emperor heard the laughter, he couldn't help but turn his head, "Look at what you said so easily, but you don't write it on your face." ”

Saying this, Hongfang paused, touched his face, and asked, "Do I have writing on my face?" ”

The Emperor smiled at him, "You know it in your heart. ”

Hongfang thought for a while, and laughed along, "I didn't know that the second brother could also read minds." ”

The emperor didn't expect Hongfang to call him that, and his face was very emotional for a while, which made Hongfang sigh a little, "Hey, you haven't called me second brother for a long time." "However, the emperor doesn't care, there are about three people who can call him the second brother, except for Hongfang and Rouwan, only Hongwei. There were fewer brothers and sisters, and there will be fewer in the future. "If you let her out like this, Kaizhi may not accept your affection."

Hongfang saw that he didn't mind, so he put his mind at ease, this salutation was actually a temptation, and it was also a statement of position, "I don't want him to appreciate it, it's enough for someone to understand." ”

The emperor couldn't help but sneer, "Our son is really infatuated, if he had known that there was such a person as Li Wuniang, he could go directly to the Li family to propose marriage, and there would be no need to be so sorry." ”

Hongfang knew that he was deliberately provoking, and it was obviously him who gave Shaohua Xu to Yan Kaizhi, but now he was talking cool here, so he smiled: "Even if some people know that she exists, they may not be able to get it, don't you regret it?" The emperor glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and looked at Hongfang with a calm smile, knowing who he was talking about, but he smiled and didn't answer.

Seeing that the emperor put down the food box and didn't care about the parrot anymore, Hongfang followed his footsteps and asked, "Second brother, aren't you afraid of upsetting that person by doing this?" ”

The Emperor had a stern look on his face, "If she is happy, I am not happy, and besides, she has never been happy. Suddenly, his tone changed again, "It's a pity that Jin Zhaocheng folded such a general in vain." However, it can be regarded as innocent, he has his own unpaid debts, and his aunt is too, all of which are owed. ”

A person lives a lifetime, nothing more than paying off old debts and adding new debts, no matter how careful you are, it is inevitable that you will live more freely.

The emperor suddenly felt that by doing so, he was worthy of the favor he owed.
