Chapter 25: Greeting the Princess

"This plan is feasible, and I will leave this matter to you." Baili Lan waved her hand indifferently, and then raised her head, thinking that since she wanted to say that the carriage was leaking, she had to find a place to let the rain leak.

Baili Lan asked the winter snow to deal with it, so as not to leave a trace. But the royal thing is strong, and Dongxue smashed it several times with a scabbard before one corner of the roof cracked, and it landed a little underwater.

Just as the carriage was about to be soaked in rainwater, the sound of horses' hooves from far and near resounded in everyone's ears.

The man stopped the horse, turned over, knelt neatly in front of the carriage, and said in a loud voice, "I don't know where the county lord's carriage is damaged, please let the lower official board the carriage to check." If you are offended, please forgive me! ”

Although this voice is not Arun's, it is also very familiar to Baili Lan, because the man who spoke with this accent before was the little guy next to Nangong Jingchen, He Che.

Qiushuang boarded the carriage first, took the umbrella in her hand aside, and said in a low voice, "County Lord, when the slave maid went, there was no shadow of Ah Run inside, only He Che was alone. I inquired with the people next to me, but they said that He Che was the only person in charge. Thinking about this, He Che and Ah Run, their backs are also a little similar, could it be that Xia Yu recognized the wrong person? ”

Hearing this, Xia Yu hurriedly waved his hands and said very seriously, "County master, the slave dares to save her life, and she is absolutely not mistaken!" He Che and Ah Run's appearance is five points similar, but the slave will not mistake these two people in a daze, and they are not twins! ”

His eyes were slightly condensed, and Xia Yu's words made Bai Lilan's mind move, and she murmured softly, "Twins...... Brother ......"

Seeing Bai Lilan's pensive look, Chunfeng stepped forward and asked, "County Lord, have you found anything?" ”

waved his hand, Bai Lilan was just suspicious, and he was not sure of it, so he didn't want to startle the snake now, so he first asked Qiushuang to introduce He Che, and then watched the changes.

After getting permission, He Che lowered his head and boarded the carriage first to check the leak. When he saw the crack, He Che frowned slightly, as if he had discovered the cause of the water leak. However, Bai Lilan is also his master now, even if he is dissatisfied in his heart, he still has to hang his head respectfully and say humbly, "The wind and rain are urgent, and the carriage is overwhelmed, so it will crack and leak." Let the princess be frightened, the slave should die, and the slave will find someone to set the carriage in order to prevent the princess from being exposed to the rain and wind again. ”

"No one can say anything about the weather, so how can we blame Mr. He. But seeing the back of Manager He today, it reminds me of a person, so I want to ask you, what other brothers and sisters are there at home? ”

He Che paused, and then said, "There is a younger brother. ”

"Father and mother?"

"Same father and mother!"

Slowly leaning back, Baililan's playful smile made people feel like they were on pins and needles. Just when He Che couldn't stand it anymore and asked to retire, Bai Lilan opened his mouth first and said, "Manager He should go down first, I'm tired." ”

"It is an honor for my subordinates to be able to do things for the princess." He Che said unconcernedly, then turned around and jumped out of the carriage.

It wasn't until He Che walked away that several maids surrounded him again, with different expressions.

"County Lord, what do you see?"

Rubbing the teapot on the table, Bai Lilan hooked the corners of her mouth dangerously, and her voice was cold and cruel, making people shudder.

"The matter has not been investigated clearly, so I can't say the conclusion first. One thing is for sure, though, that things are not as simple as they were seen at the time! Dongxue, you don't need to wait for me in the car now, go follow He Che and see if Arun is really there in Nangong Jingchen. Also, be careful not to let them find out. ”

"Yes!"

"Spring breeze, when the team stops and rests for a while, you take advantage of the identity of the princess's personal maid to cook a pot of cold soup for everyone, and you will personally send it to Nangong Jingchen, and take the opportunity to listen to the news ahead."

"Yes!"

"Qiushuang, you go to Master Si Li and get a list of travelers, I want to see what's going on here."

"Yes!"

After making some arrangements, the maids all acted separately, only Xia Yu was still waiting by Bai Lilan's side, wiping the water stains in the carriage.

Looking at Xia Yu's busy figure, Bai Lilan narrowed her eyes slightly.

The rain lingered until noon on the second day, when it was completely cleared, and the team did not dare to delay, and after a short rest, they hurried with all their might.

Baililan's maids each brought back news, but each message was not what Baililan wanted. The mystery remains, but the answer is elusive. Since her subordinates can't solve the problem, she can only do it herself.

That night, Bai Lilan changed into a night suit and asked Dongxue to put a silver dart into the carriage where he was resting, with a note attached to it, asking Nangong Jingchen to meet in the grove behind the team.

Holding the note in his hand, Nangong Jingchen found the place where he met, and sure enough, he saw the beautiful woman who had been thinking about it for a long time. It's just that under such a beautiful moonlight, Bai Lilan's face didn't seem to look good, staring at Nangong Jingchen gloomily.

"According to common sense, we shouldn't see each other before we go to the church."

Bai Lilan laughed contemptuously, looking away, her eyes full of disdain, "What shouldn't be done, have you done less?" Nangong Jingchen, you owe me an explanation! ”

"Concubine Ai's words make me honestly afraid, what should I explain?"

Looking at Nangong Jingchen's warm and warm smile, an inexplicable anger instantly rose in Baili Lan's heart, "Don't you know? Well, I'll ask you! Arun is in your tent, what is his relationship with you! ”

"Arun? I don't remember that there was such a person around me, did Aifei remember it wrongly. ”

Nangong Jingchen is like a piece of soft cotton, even if you use all your strength to hit him, he still has the ability to contain all your anger, so that you can't vent anything at all. It's like I'm angry at him, like I'm a fool. It was this feeling of déjà vu that made Baili Lan suddenly have a terrible idea. Looking at Nangong Jingchen with changeable eyes, Bai Lilan narrowed her eyes dangerously, and her deep voice was full of murderous intent.

"I hate going around the bend, you know what I'm talking about. You'd better tell me the answer now, or I'll know what I'm going to do in my own search for the truth! ”

Lowering his head and laughing twice, Nangong Jingchen's voice was pure and warm, he looked at Baili Lan with affection, and said softly, "Lan'er, you really can't hold your breath." Don't worry, if you want to know, I will tell you personally on the day of our cave house, because I have a surprise for you. ”

Bai Lilan's eyebrows furrowed, and she said angrily, "Don't play tricks with me!" Surprise? Hmph, believe it or not, I'll surprise you and frighten you! It's just a matter of one sentence, and it has to drag on for so long, Nangong Jingchen, can't you just do things neatly! ”

"It's mood, you don't understand it yet. But it's okay, I'll teach you slowly. ”

No matter how Bai Li Lan provoked him with words, Nangong Jingchen always looked like a smile, and quietly answered Bai Li Lan's every question. Facing the polite Nangong Jingchen, Baili Lan looked like a crazy woman.

If it weren't for the fact that Nangong Jingchen's wound hadn't healed yet, Baili Lan really wanted to beat him up!

The fists were clenched hard, and Bai Lilan knew that he couldn't ask anything from his mouth today, so he didn't want to talk nonsense with him. After glaring at him viciously, Baili Lan passed by Nangong Jingchen in a rage, planning to sneak back to the carriage secretly at night.

"Lan'er, have you ever thought about why I want to accept the emperor's marriage?" When Baili Lan was about to melt into the night, Nangong Jingchen quietly asked her a question from behind her.

The footsteps paused slightly, but did not stop, Baili Lan sneered, and said nonchalantly, "Naturally, it is to save my life, everyone knows that disobeying the emperor will be killed." ”

"No, it's not like that, Lan'er, I ......"

What Nangong Jingchen said afterwards, Baili Lan didn't hear, because she quickened her pace and left the grove.

Looking at the hazy night, Nangong Jingchen sighed wistfully.

After a two-month long journey, the wedding team finally arrived in Lanling. In order to show the prestige of the country, the celebrant reorganized the team, increased the number of ceremonial musicians, and sounded the long and continuous horn sound in unison, solemn and heavy.

The people who were waiting to admire the prestige of the country in Lanling had already crowded the streets, looking forward to the first beauty of Beining from the capital. However, before anyone saw it, the sound of the horn was wrapped in the wind and fluttered to the ears, which made people feel shocked.

Hearing the sound of the majestic horn, the crowd gradually stirred, crowding forward in waves, eager to meet this princess.

The officer in charge of defense raised his eyebrows coldly and said angrily, "Whoever is crowded will be put in prison!" ”

But there were many people, and they were crowded back and forth, and they unconsciously followed the waves of people. And the people in the back couldn't hear what was said in front of them, and their hearts were anxious, which caused the scene to become more and more crowded.

Seeing that the road on this side is getting narrower and narrower, the officers and soldiers who maintain order in front of them are running towards this side with long hair in their hands, and they will be ruthless to the unarmed people.

"Stop!"

In the midst of the lightning, a heroic voice sounded, and the fierce officers and soldiers instantly put away their weapons, lined up on both sides, and stood with their hands down. Because of the fright just now, the people were also stunned, not daring to make a mistake, and they all retreated, their eyes frightened.

As the crowd continued to retreat, a man wearing a moon-white robe and a white jade crown appeared in people's sight. I saw that the man had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, thin lips pursed, and his face was full of anger, and he kicked the officers and soldiers who had just ordered to beat the people, and said angrily, "Bastard, the prince gave you a fortune, did you want you to beat your own people!" What are your duties as soldiers? ”

The officers and soldiers who were beaten immediately stood up, their faces were still grim, and Lang Lang said, "Defend the country and the people!" ”

"What a defender of the country, of the people! Since you know your duty, but you are derelict in your duty, go down and receive eighty sticks! ”

"Yes!" The officer's expression remained unchanged, as if he was not the one who was about to accept the criminal law.

After the officer turned to leave, the man looked at the people and said in a strong and clear voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that everyone loves the prince, and I am also glad that the lord of Lanjun marries Lanling. But the national prestige cannot be humiliated, and we can't let the princess despise us Lanling people, so please give up the way of the Lord and respectfully welcome the prince and the princess! ”
