"Speaking of which, this palace is also abrupt."

“？” Great Elder, "I wonder what the prince is going to say?" ”

The prince said slowly: "After the last banquet, this palace fell in love with the Mu family master at first sight. ”

At the same time, the Great Elder and the Second Elder were shocked, "!! ”

The crown prince ignored their shock, and continued: "This palace also knows that this palace is abrupt, but this palace is sincere to Xiao Chu. ”

The eldest elder, the second elder, 'It's over, even the head of the Mu family doesn't say it, just call Xiao Chu.' ’

The Great Elder suppressed the shock in his heart and said, "Prince, this matter is not a joke. ”

"How dare Bengong joke about this, cough-" The prince coughed twice after speaking, and then said: "But Bengong also knows that Bengong's health is not good, and he can't give Xiao Chu happiness." After speaking, his eyes were full of sadness.

At this time, the great elder really didn't know what to say, this refusal must be refused, after all, the heart of the head of the family is on the regent of the dynasty, and the two of them are childhood sweethearts, how can they be compared to a prince who suddenly appeared.

Moreover, their Murong Mansion is not short of money, let alone power, so what the prince says has to be rejected no matter what.

But before they could refuse, they only heard the prince say: "So I want you to give this thing to Xiao Chu this time." As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his bosom and put it on the stone table.

The jade pendant, which is as transparent and round as mutton fat, looks particularly good in the sun.

"This ......" Looking at the jade pendant on the table, the Great Elder did not stay, nor did he refuse, and he was a little at a loss.

After all, they didn't say that they wanted to marry the head of the family, they just asked them to hand over something, and if they refused, it seemed a little unreasonable, but if they didn't refuse, the regent came back and found that it was difficult to explain.

"Didn't I put the two of you in danger?" After the prince finished speaking, he lowered his head and coughed incessantly, looking very weak.

Coupled with the fact that he used 'I' instead of 'Bengong' in the end, the Great Elder was even more difficult.

Just when the atmosphere was so awkward, the fourth elder came over, he first saluted the prince, and then the prince agreed to sit next to the second elder.

After the four elders sat down, they were attracted by the jade pendant on the table at first glance, and asked, "What kind of jade pendant is this, and why is it placed on the table?" ”

After a long time, no one answered, and finally the prince said, "This is what I want to give to Xiao Chu." ”

"Xiao Chu, what Xiao Chu, who is the prince Xiao Chu?" The four elders looked left and right and asked the Great Elder, "Do we have a person named Xiao Chu here?" ”

The Great Elder said, "The name of the head of the family is Xiao Chu. ”

"Oh—that's the name of the head of the house." The four elders suddenly looked at the prince and asked, "But shouldn't the prince be called the head of the Mu family, when did the prince become so close to the head of the family?" If people who don't know still think how close our Murong family is to the crown prince! ”

There was a faint disdain in his tone.

The Great Elder said angrily, "Fourth! ”

The Fourth Elder muttered in a low voice, "It was. ”

The prince on the side naturally heard it, but his face did not change much, but he coughed a few more times, and he still looked weak.

His little servant was waiting outside the gazebo, so he didn't come in.

In the end, the four elders saw that the prince's body was too weak, and shouted outside the pavilion, "Hey, the servant of the prince's family, don't come here to help your prince go back to rest!" ”

After the four elders finished speaking, the little servant ran over.

There was no way, the four elders had a very loud voice, and it was difficult for the little man not to hear it, and he was worried about the prince's body, so he ran very fast.

The little servant came to the prince's side and asked, "Prince, are you going back?" ”

The fourth elder, "Yes, your prince has a terrible cough, so why don't you take your prince back quickly." ”

The prince who originally wanted to stay, "......"

"That's it, then let's go back to the palace today, as for the jade pendant-" It's handed over.

"Yu Pei, you better take it back, our family master can't afford such a valuable gift." After the fourth elder finished speaking, he didn't care whether the prince wanted it or not, he directly stuffed it into his arms, and said to the little servant beside him: "Why don't you hurry up and take the prince back, in case the illness is serious, you will be responsible!" ”

The embarrassed little guy, "......"

"In that case, then I'll go back first and say goodbye." The prince said weakly, but when he turned around, a fierce flash flashed in his eyes where they couldn't see.

A quarter of an hour later, the crown prince left the Murong Mansion.

"Fourth, it's good that you're here." The second elder said.

"That's right, now that I know something happened, it's up to me." The fourth elder then frowned, "No, I didn't expect the prince to say something like that. ”

He has internal strength, so he only appeared before and after hearing the whole thing, and pretended not to say such things.

"yes." Great Elder, "This matter still depends on what the head of the family thinks. ”

Second Elder, "I don't know when the head of the family will come back." ”

Fourth Elder, "That's it, you said that the lord of the family and the regent have been gone for so long, why haven't they come back, it must be some accident, right?" ”

"You crow's mouth, you dare to curse the head of the family." The Great Elder slapped him after speaking.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm a crow's mouth, the head of the family is blessed, and with the regent by his side, he will definitely return safely."

That being said, the three of them still had a deep worry in their eyes.

The mountain behind Murong Mansion.

Qi Ziyan and they moved forward again.

The journey was quite safe, and there were no accidents.

At this time, in front of them was a fork in the road.

One is green trees, while the other is low bushes.

"Xiao Chu, which way do you think we should go?" Qi Ziyan asked Mu Xiaochu beside him.

Mu Xiaochu hesitated for a while and said; "Let's go this way." She pointed to the green one.

Qi Ziyan, "Okay." ”

Mu Xiaochu was puzzled, "Yan, don't you want to ask me why?" ”

Qi Ziyan looked down at her, her voice was low and hoarse, and it was magnetic, "What you think is that the two roads are unknown in front of them, so it's better to take one one, right." ”

Mu Xiaochu, "How do you know I think so!" ”

Qi Ziyan smiled, rubbed her hair, and said, "Okay, since the road has been chosen, let's go quickly." ”

"Hmm."

The green trees all the way are really much easier to walk than the other one full of low bushes, and it seems that the road is safe?

Soon the reason why their road will be so safe.

"Squeak-"

"Why is it that monkey again?" Before he saw the shadow, just listening to the voice, Mu Xiaochu knew that it was the timid monkey who made the sound in front of him.

But when she walked forward and saw the scene in front of her, her heart was shocked.

Because the monkey in front of him was baring his teeth to drive away wild boars.

Seeing that the boar was not about to leave, he pounced on it and scratched it fiercely.

Finally, the boar looked at it with a wound on its face, and planned to attack it again.

"Yan?" Mu Xiaochu pulled the sleeves of the people around him.

Qi Ziyan patted her hand, and finally took out the dagger and walked into the monkey.

The monkey looked at the dagger in Qi Ziyan's hand and squeaked, as if he thought he was here to kill it.

But looking at the wild boar in front of him, the monkey was stunned and didn't leave, but squeaked in place.

To the monkey's surprise, Qi Ziyan rushed directly at the wild boar with a dagger, and in just a blink of an eye, the wild boar fell.

Qi Ziyan turned back to Mu Xiaochu and said, "Today's lunch has been settled." ”

As for the monkey, Qi Ziyan ignored it the whole time, easily dragged the wild boar to a water source, cleaned it up, and grilled the meat over a fire, as if he didn't see the monkey.

Without exception, when Qi Ziyan was cleaning up wild boars, he asked Mu Xiaochu to wait under a tree some distance from the water source.

Although Mu Xiaochu also wanted to help, he was rejected by Qi Ziyan.

Soon the fragrant barbecue meat was baked, and the first string naturally entered Mu Xiaochu's mouth.

And while they were eating the barbecue, the monkey hid not far away and watched quietly, and did not come close.

Walking safely all the way, coupled with the words of the Great Elder that the back mountain was full of dangers, as well as the scene they had just seen, the two of them quickly understood the reason why they had been safe all the way.

However, between the previous performance of the monkey, Mu Xiaochu's previous dislike for it disappeared.

Looking at the monkeys hiding aside and quietly watching them eat meat, Mu Xiaochu was reluctant to give up.

"What, it's distressing?" Qi Ziyan asked.

Mu Xiaochu shook his head, "No." ”

She hadn't forgotten what Yan had said earlier about skinning monkeys.

Qi Ziyan handed Mu Xiaochu another string of meat, and then said, "If you want to eat, come here, but leave after eating." ”

"Squeak?" After Qi Ziyan finished speaking, the monkey leaned forward, but he still didn't dare to step forward.

"Yan?" Mu Xiaochu said happily.

"Fool, how could I not know what you want to understand, and am I such a stingy person?"

"I knew Yan was the best." Mu Xiaochu leaned into Qi Ziyan's arms, and then said to the monkey: "Come over quickly, otherwise there will be no later." ”

"Squeak-" The monkey sped over.

Half an hour later, the two who were full of food and the monkey all the time.

"Don't leave yet, wait to be skinned, um-" Looking at the monkey that was paralyzed under the tree after eating, Qi Ziyan said.

"Squeak-" Hearing the voice, the monkey immediately got up and glanced at Qi Ziyan vigilantly.

In the end, he got a cold look and left with a look of grievance.

"Yan, you're too fierce with it, after all, it's just a monkey."

Although the monkey was a little timid hiding behind her before, how bold can a monkey be, coupled with the anthropomorphic expressions that the monkey appeared from time to time at that time, Mu Xiaochu was instantly fanned by it.

Qi Ziyan asked, "Do you think it will be an ordinary monkey?" ”

Mu Xiaochu, "......"

Well, a monkey that can compete with wild boars will not be ordinary, plus it can make them come all the way safely and smoothly......

How could she have thought it was an ordinary monkey before?

Hey, what a mistake.

But after a while, the monkey came again, and at the same time it brought something else.
