Li Tai and his entourage crossed Zhiming Road on horseback. After stopping at the intersection of Hongwen Road, he slightly raised his voice and called: "Yinxiao!" ”

The snow-white fierce bird hovering above their heads let out a sharp roar, waving its two huge wings that were nearly a foot long and gradually flew away, and the whistling continued.

In the utility room of Xiaolin behind Ganweiju, Yi Yu's fever symptoms became more and more serious, and at this time he shrank into a ball and Yang Xiaozhao was close together, the feeling of dizziness in his brain and the increasing body temperature made Yu feel out of breath, and there was only the sound of two people in the hut breathing slowly, and there was silence all around.

Suddenly heard a faint whistling sound in their ears, the two little girls were stunned, Yang Xiaozhao whispered in an extremely hoarse voice: "Xiaoyu, did you hear any sound?" ”

Yi Yu was burning in a daze at this time, but when he heard the continuous shouts outside the house, his spirit was shocked, and he opened his mouth with his blue lips trembling: "You, you go to the window and shout, shout hard..."

Yang Xiaozhao also felt something, propped himself up, staggered to the window, and took a few breaths before shouting, "Dad." Daddy came to save me! Mother! ”

Her voice was hoarse, and she shouted with all her might, although it was not as loud as the volume she usually raised and spoke, but Yinxiao, who was flying back and forth in the night sky, turned her giant wings and swooped down in a direction when she shouted for the second time.

Yang Xiaozhao shouted four or five times and lost his strength, seeing that no one answered, he knelt under the window for a while, whining and crying, Yu Yu gasped and called her twice, suddenly felt the shadows in the room jump, and when he looked up, he saw a white shadow flashing by the window.

A moment later, at the intersection of Hongwen Road, Li Tai, who was waiting with his eyes closed on horseback, waited for the whistling sound in his ears to sound again, pulled the reins in his hand sideways, and galloped all the way with the white shadow in the air, followed by the horses behind him.

***

The people who were also looking for the relics in Guozijian naturally heard Yinxiao's loud whistle, Du Ruojin stood in place with his support for the wall, looking at the horses in the distance, with an incomprehensible look in his eyes.

Lu Zhi, who was looking for him in the back garden, looked up and saw the white shadow in the air, his face was stunned, and then he showed joy.

Under the guidance of Yinxiao, Li Tai's imperial horse penetrated into the small forest behind Ganweiju. Turning over and dismounting in front of a row of houses in the forest, the four people who followed Li Tai quickly split up and began to search the neighborhood.

"Your Highness." One person shouted, Li Taifang, who was standing in front of the room, walked over, followed the man's finger to see a few paper balls under the wall, his eyes flashed slightly, and he stretched out his hand.

Then a man came to the door of the house, and threw himself at the door with the brass lock, and after a loud bang, the door was kicked open, and the man went in first, and after a moment he heard him reply, "Here it is!" ”

Li Tai walked sideways into the hut, the dust and musty moisture made his body pause slightly, and after bypassing a dilapidated screen in front of him, through the faint moonlight from the high window, he saw a messy low desk room in the room, and there was a figure under the window and by the wall.

Leaning against the wall, Yu Yu was short of breath, heard the movement, and looked to the side in confusion, only to see a dark shadow gradually approaching, and then the faint light above his head was also obscured. As soon as his body was light, he was bent down and picked up.

Lingpei Courtyard of the Wei Palace

There were three people sitting in the living room, and they were quietly listening to the whispered report of a person standing with his head down:

“... Then they took Miss Lu to the utility room behind Ganwei Ju, and locked her up with Miss Yang, intending to release her in two days... That's what they told me. ”

Lu Zhi clenched the armrest of the mahogany carved chair under him, lowered his head slightly, and hid the ruthlessness in his eyes, he didn't expect Princess Chengyang and the eldest grandson Xian to be involved in this matter, he should have sighed that the blessing of the jade was great, and he didn't let them move the killing intent, but he just planned to release them after two days?

Du Ruojin put her fist to her lips and asked with a cough: "You, are you sure that person said that it was instructed by Xian Mei and Miss Changsun?" ”

"Back to Du Gongzi, they only said that it was according to Miss Chu's meaning, and Miss Chu is-"

"Ahem, ahem!" A sharp cough interrupted the man's words, Du Ruojin held his chest, forcibly endured the fishy sweetness in his throat, and interjected: "Then it may not be instructed by Miss Changsun... Ahem..."

The person in the "......" hall said no more.

Lu Zhi's eyes narrowed, Li Tai, who was sitting on the main seat, lightly clasped the tea cup in his hand without saying a word, his calm face made people unable to see joy and anger, and after a while, he saw Lu Zhi get up and walk up to him, bow down, and say:

"Thank you Your Highness for your help this time, Lu Zhi still has a reluctant request."

After hearing a light "um" from the person in the upper seat, he said again: "Just now, Imperial Physician Wang also said that the sister is weak and needs to recuperate for a few days——"

Li Tai stretched out his hand, interrupted the rest of his words, and said in a low voice: "Miss Lu has been staying in this palace for the past few days. Stay tonight, and tomorrow I will send someone with you to the Imperial Prison. ”

Lu Zhigong agreed, and then turned to Du Ruojin and saluted, "Thank you Mr. Du for your help today, and Lu Zhiding should come to thank you another day." ”

Du Ruojin shook her head slightly, but what she wanted to say was another cough.

"Come on, send Du Gongzi home." As soon as Li Tai gave the order, two subordinates entered the hall and sent Du Ruojingong, who was pale because of his ill health, out of the door.

After he left, the spy who reported the matter also bent down and retreated, only Li Tai and Lu Zhi were left in the hall, and there was silence between them for a long time, and the cup of tea on Li Tai's palm gradually cooled down, but he didn't see him take a sip.

"Lu Zhi, you are a smart person."

Lu Zhi's eyebrows jumped, he bowed his head and said nothing, he was a smart person, so he faintly discovered that there was something wrong with King Wei's attitude towards Yiyu as early as in Xingyuan, but today's incident made him faintly ring the alarm in his mind.

King Wei has never been a person with extra kindness, although he didn't know what the reason was for saving Lu's mother and daughter back then, but it was definitely not because of those sympathies and the like, he had been a scribe in the Literature Museum for more than a year. Although he is not from the Wei Palace, he has also seen and heard a lot of things under the deliberate influence of others.

For this somewhat cold-blooded prince, he is more afraid than respectful, this person never seems to lose his temper, but no one has ever seen him have any pleasure, and the pair of eyes that are different from ordinary people make him even more bewitching.

In the third year of Beijing, from many private deeds of King Wei circulated in Guozijian, I heard that the eyes of the fourth prince were not so abnormal at first, as if he was injured in an accident a few years ago. The pupils had changed, but no one had ever dared to put this matter on the surface.

Tonight's matter is not big, it is not small, after the disappearance of the missing Yu Lu Zhi was very worried, he thought that he would find no one in the middle of the night, so he would personally go to the door to find King Wei for help, but he didn't expect this person to go in person.

Tonight's incident must have been reported to the ears of many people at this moment, Lu Zhi didn't believe that the unpredictable King Wei in front of him was rescued in person because he was worried about his little sister, and then thought of the rumors in Beijing recently, probably, he had guessed some...

Li Tai put the teacup on the coffee table on the side, and brought Lu Zhi back to his senses with a slight touch, and when he saw the person in the upper seat get up, he quickly got up from the chair and bowed down to send the other party out of the living room.

When Li Tai's figure disappeared at the door, Lu Zhicai straightened up again, his face stiffened for a long time, and a wry smile slowly appeared on his lips, if that's the case, what should I do...

Guozi Jian Shu College

Changsun Xian sat in front of the desk, glanced at the lecturer who had already sat down on the ground, glanced sideways at the low case that should have been sitting on the left, but now it was empty, and then swept towards the seat under the window, which was also unoccupied, until the bell rang, the owners of the two tables were still not present.

After school, Changsun Xian asked the young man on the right side of the seat if he knew where Chu Xiaosi had gone, and after receiving the same puzzled answer from the other party, he left the teaching house with a frown.

She walked to the door of the academy, but was stopped by a person waiting outside the door, "Sister Xian." ”

Du Ruojin's complexion was slightly paler than yesterday, and when Changsun Xian saw him like this, she was stunned for a moment, her face was a little worried, and she asked out loud: "Brother Jin, have you committed that old problem again?" ”

Du Ruojin shook her head and didn't answer her question. "You're free right now, I'd like to talk to you."

Changsun Xian only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and responded, "Okay, then let's go to the Yunjing Tea Society." ”

The two didn't say much along the way, and Changsun Xian, who was thinking about the next thing, didn't notice that Du Ruojin was secretly observing her eyes, with indescribable suspicion.

The two went out from the front door of Guozijian and asked for a private room to sit down at the Yunjing Tea House across the street.

"What is Brother Jin looking for me?"

Du Ruojin looked at the soft little face opposite, and it took a long time before she asked directly: "Do you know about Miss Lu's disappearance?" ”

Eldest Sun Xian's face showed surprise slightly, and her voice raised slightly, "What, Miss Lu is missing?" No wonder I didn't see her come to school this morning - by the way, Xiaosi didn't come either, you think something should happen to her, right? ”

Du Ruojin was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked, "You don't know?" ”

Eldest Sun Xian's brows furrowed slightly, and after thinking about it for a while, her face instantly turned cold, "Brother Jin, what do you mean by this, we have known each other for seven years, and you even have to doubt me?" ”

Seeing that her face was ugly, and there was a faint hint of grievance, Du Ruojin realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly remedied: "Sister Xian, don't be angry, I, I didn't mean that." ”

"Don't you mean anything, don't you suspect that I have something to do with Miss Nalu's disappearance?" Changsun Xian's voice became sharp for a while, and the hand on the case was clenched into a fist, looking like she was forced to suppress anger.

A hint of apology flashed in Du Ruojin's eyes, and after a while, Fang Cai said in a harmonious voice: "Sister Xian, it was really me who I listened to others at will, so I thought nonsense, I know who you are, and I also knew yesterday that you didn't go to Miss Lu after the list, and when you didn't like her, this is ......."

"Humph!" Eldest Sun Xian's expression did not ease, and after snorting coldly, her tone was full of arrogance, "I think I am also the eldest lady of the dignified Shangshu Mansion, how can I be embarrassed by those little girls from ordinary people, she won the first grade in the academic evaluation in the tenth exam, but my Errong Poetry Society, I can't get in just by virtue of a school review!" ”

Seeing that she was even more angry, Du Ruojin only felt that the more she said, the more wrong she became, her chest was tight, and she coughed out, Changsun Xian saw him like this, and hurriedly pressed her anger, leaned in front of him to help him pat him on the back, and her tone was also a little nervous, "Brother Jin, what's wrong with you, weren't you okay a few days ago?" ”

"Ahem, it doesn't matter, it's just that I suffered some cold when I was resting last night..."Du Ruojin didn't tell her about how many times she ran back and forth in the Guozi Prison yesterday to find someone.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, the shopkeeper put the refreshments on the table and bowed down, and the eldest grandson Xian poured a cup of hot tea from the pot, blew it gently, and carefully sent it to Du Ruojin.

"Drink some hot tea and go well."

Du Ruojin took the cup and drank two sips before feeling the chest tightness ease, and saw that the anger on her face had faded by three points, so she struck while the iron was hot, thinking that it would be better to appease her earlier, "I was wrong before, you don't want to be angry with me again, okay?" ”

Changsun Xian's eyes flickered for a while, then she nodded slowly, and sighed lightly, "Brother Jin, I didn't mean to lose my temper with you, as long as I think that you doubt me for a girl I have only known for a long time, I feel very uncomfortable." ”

After saying this, Du Ruojin's slightly pale handsome face had a faint redness, and she lowered her head and said in a soft voice: "You and I have had a brother-sister relationship since childhood, and I will not embarrass you for outsiders, but yesterday's incident was really a bit thrilling, and I was lost for a while......

Then he told Changsun Xian a little about what happened after the disappearance of the missing jade, but he didn't notice that when he mentioned that King Wei went to the Guozi Prison to rescue people, her beautiful eyes flashed with different colors.

"So, it was His Royal Highness the King of Wei who saved Miss Lu?"

"Well, it's thanks to him that he came with Yinxiao, otherwise Miss Lu might be worried about her life."

Changsun Xian reached out and poured a cup of tea for herself, gently shaking the smoking tea in the cup, her voice slightly puzzled, "How did His Royal Highness King Wei know that Miss Lu was missing?" ”

Du Ruojin smiled bitterly and said, "The movement is so loud, the entire Tai Academy was called out by Lu Zhi to look for someone, but whoever has some eyeliner in the Guozijian can't get the letter." ”

Eldest Sun Xian's hand holding the cup tightened, and said with a smile, "I heard that Lu Zhi is not from the Wei Palace, but His Royal Highness is so nervous about his sister, thinking that Lu Zhi will follow King Wei with all his heart to death." ”

Du Ruojin hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Let's not talk about this, by the way, then Chu Xiaosi, you don't have to deal with her again in the future, she is so vicious at a young age, she didn't go to class today, I'm afraid it has already happened." ”

"It's... I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding, I have been friends with Xiaosi for two years, and I just think she is straighter, but she has no bad intentions. ”

When Du Ruojin heard her say this, she shook her head, "If you continue to be friendly with her, I am afraid that you will be affected by her in the future, or you will go away early, lest she use your reputation to do those defiling things." ”

Changsun Xian nodded lightly and said "um" and stopped answering. (！ )
