Not long after getting on the boat, the second prince found out about Xiaoyu Li Dai Taozhuang. After all, in the carriage before, the second prince didn't have much chance to see the county lord, and every time he rested at night, Xiaoyu also put on a hat before getting out of the carriage.

Although this practice is a bit strange, the second prince knows that Qi Pan is sick and has a somewhat withdrawn personality, and he is usually raised in the deep boudoir and rarely shows up, even he is not very familiar with this big cousin, so every day Xiaoyu gets on and off the car with a hat and easily does not speak, which is normal in the eyes of the second prince.

When he got to the boat, he naturally couldn't make it a small world like in the carriage, and the second prince's room was next to the county lord's room, Xiao Yu thought about it again and again, and simply found an opportunity to find out to the second prince.

"Second cousin, why are you!" The second prince was taken aback, after all, he personally led people to escort Qi Pan all the way from the palace to the ship.

"When I was in the palace, I was obviously the eldest cousin, I can see it clearly, when did you quietly change people? No wonder you wear a hood when you get in and out of the car all day! The second prince was not a person who could hold words in his heart, so he couldn't help but stand up and walk around in front of Xiaoyu excitedly.

Xiao Yu smiled slightly bitterly: "Cousin Di, you also know that the eldest sister's body is bone, and the road is bumpy, I'm afraid that I will ...... before I reach Beiqiang", she hesitated for a moment and didn't say the word.

The second prince realized it all of a sudden, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I was quite worried about my eldest cousin's physical condition before, but during this time, I saw that the county lord was doing well, and I was still a little strange!" ”

"Hey, so, I'm here instead of my big sister, Cousin Di......, you...... You won't expose me! Although he has a great grasp of the character of the second prince, after all, the heart of the person is separated from the belly, Xiaoyu still can't help but say tentatively.

"Second cousin, what are you talking nonsense!" The second prince heard Xiaoyu's words, and suddenly stepped forward to cover Xiaoyu's mouth, his hands were stretched out, and he felt that it was inappropriate, so he put down his hand and lowered his voice and said: "Everyone knows that the eldest cousin's health is not good, anyway, except for me, no one recognizes the eldest cousin, as long as you don't say it, I don't say it, who knows!" ”

He paused for a moment, and said: "It's just that you can't mention it again in the future, now you are Qi Pan, my eldest cousin, the county lord of Anping!" ”

Xiao Yu exhaled slightly, and a little guilt from doubting the character of the second prince welled up in his heart.

"Oops, it's over!" Xiao Yu was about to apologize, but heard the second prince suddenly jump up and shout.

"Shhh......, Cousin Di, what's wrong?" Xiao Yu whispered to the second prince to whisper, and then asked softly.

The second prince scratched his hair embarrassedly and said, "That...... That Murong Hua, it seems that he knows you! ”

Xiao Yu's heart skipped a slight beat, although time has passed, Murong Hua is the first man she has ever liked in this world after all. In the past two years, the two of them have not had many opportunities to meet in private, although Xiao Yu tried his best to maintain an attitude towards his friends, but every time he faced Murong Hua, he felt slightly embarrassed.

But Murong Hua is not like this, he is as good as he is to Xiaoyu, his attitude is gentle, and his eyes are doting, everyone can see that he still likes Xiaoyu.

Because of this, Xiao Yu felt very sorry for Murong Hua on the one hand, and on the other hand, he slowly became estranged from Murong Hua.

Xiao Yu nodded silently, the second prince didn't notice the change in Xiao Yu's expression, and said in distress: "Then should we tell him?" He also comes over from time to time, and you'll always be bumped into by him! ”

Xiao Yu's gaze looked through the wall into the void and said, "It's not in the way, let's talk about it when we meet it!" After speaking, she turned her head to look at the second prince and said with a smile: "Isn't Prince Murong your good friend, even if he finds out, you should be able to get him!" ”

The brightness under that smile made the second prince lose his mind slightly, and he realized that the second cousin in front of him was no longer the skinny yellow-haired girl in his impression.

The second prince's face turned red to his ears, and he stammered, "That'...... Then the county lord should rest early, and Xiao Wang will not bother! He suddenly changed his name, which surprised Xiaoyu, but he was immediately relieved, indeed, it is better to call it like this all the time, so as not to show his feet in front of others in the future.

Thinking of this, she bowed her head slightly and said, "The second prince also rests early!" The second prince almost stumbled out of the room, and he suddenly found that he could barely breathe under the bright smile of this fake county lord.

That night, the second prince had unprecedented insomnia, and he seemed to suddenly open his mind, and this cousin, who was only two years younger than him, took root in his heart like this.

He tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and the smile of the little fish like a flower kept flashing in front of his eyes, which made him longing from the bottom of his heart to see this flower-like face again.

And on the same night, Xiaoyu slept very peacefully. Talking openly and honestly with the second prince finally made her nervous and uneasy for a long time settle down. She is too lazy to worry about the unknown future, she just wants to live in the present.

Murong Hua, who was on another boat, had not yet fallen asleep, this was his first time on a boat. Even though the current of the canal was not turbulent, the shaking of the hull of the boat still made him feel sick and nauseated, not only him, but most of the people in the Beiqiang mission with him also had motion sickness reactions and vomited.

Fortunately, Imperial Doctor Zhou, who was traveling with him, had foreseen it, and as soon as he got on the boat, he sent someone to send some anti-dizziness and anti-nausea medicines and sachets, which did not make the Beiqiang people vomit out all their bitter gall.

Murong Hua was standing at the bow of the ship at the moment, holding on to the railing, in the vast night, only the whistling wind was blowing in his face, and the mountains on both sides of the river were standing silently like black monsters at this moment.

He held a sachet in his hand and gently put it to his nose and sniffed it, thinking about his thoughts. Before leaving, Emperor Tan specially summoned him, and the conversation with Emperor Tan was still vivid, as if in front of him.

How long has it been since I returned to the prairie? That's more than seven years. Murong Hua smiled bitterly, in seven years, he has grown from a child to a young man, but his vicious stepmother may have also gained a firm foothold in the royal court.

Being able to return to China this time was not so much his father's decision, but rather the result of Emperor Tan's clever use of his father's cronies.

Emperor Tan, he is really a wise man who can look at the world and have a strategic mind! Thinking of the secret conversation with Emperor Tan, Murong Hua's face was slightly confused.

As a chess piece, I have never been able to help myself! However, being able to take this opportunity to return to the grassland he thinks about day and night can be regarded as his homesickness, but I am afraid that the eldest concubine and the so-called future prince of Beiqiang are not happy to see him return.

Murong Hua lowered his head slightly and looked at a sachet hanging from his waist, which was embroidered by Xiaoyu to him, and it was also the first gift he received in his life.

Where are you now, little fish? It's time to leave the capital and go to the free world you yearn for! Murong Hua reached out and stroked the sachet that had turned slightly white because he had rubbed it too many times, thinking of the figure he had hidden deep in his heart.

How nice it would be to have you by my side at this moment! Murong Hua sighed while thinking about his thoughts.

Beiqiang suddenly asked to marry the daughter of the Anguo Mansion, which startled him at first, and then inquired that it was not Xiaoyu who was close to him, so he was relieved, but before he could find a chance to meet with Xiaoyu alone to investigate, he got the news that Xiaoyu had left the Anguo Mansion.

Murong Hua looked up at the starry sky and sighed slightly, the sky is high and the birds can fly, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, the little fish may be destined to fly freely, unlike him and the second prince, who are firmly imprisoned on the gears of fate by the heavy shackles of fate, and cannot breathe for a moment.

And under the same starry sky, along the official road of the canal, more than a dozen men in black were hurrying away. The man in the lead kept whipping the horses under his crotch, and the eagerness of his mood could be seen.

"Childe, let's take a rest, people can stand it, and horses can't stand it!" Said a knight who fell slightly behind the man at the head.

"Hold on a little longer, when we get to the post station in front, we will spend money to change horses, we will not stop horses, we must rush to Blackwater City before the county lord's official ship!" The person who is called Childe is none other than Childe Yue.

Because he had to arrange Huayue Tower, Lan Kwai Fong and other related personnel in the capital, he couldn't secretly follow the county lord and his relatives to set off together. So when he was finally able to get out, Heqin's convoy had been set off for several days.

Yue Gongzi hurried all the way, and finally caught up with the county lord's official ship at this moment. He was not worried about Xiaoyu's safety in Datan, but once he left Blackwater City, it was difficult to say.

Although Da Tan and Beiqiang have to send troops to escort them, there are still a lot of Liangzhi areas between the two countries, where bandits are rampant and the weather is changeable, Yue Gongzi is really not at ease, he has already made up his mind, he must go to the Liangzhi area before the convoy with his relatives to ensure the safety of Xiaoyu.

And under the same starry sky, Qi Pan has embarked on a new journey under the escort sent by his wife. Although she can't be with her parents, she is resting in a small station, and she still has a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth in her sleep.

Similarly, in the court of the Beiqiang king, thousands of miles away, a sturdy and heroic woman stood on a high city tower, holding the palace wall and looking anxiously at the south, secretly praying in her heart: "Brother, you must be careful, don't fall into the trap set by the concubine!" ”

In the Great Tan Palace, Emperor Tan closed the last notebook, gently rubbed his temples, but muttered: "Murong Hua, don't you live up to my expectations!" After saying that, he laughed softly, like a cunning fox.
