On the last night before entering the capital, a huge procession stayed in a place called Menyi Castle. It doesn't look much smaller here than Cixian City, people are shuttling back and forth, there are a dazzling array of items on the collection, and there are also rich young people or children of official eunuchs in fresh clothes and angry horses, Yu Yao opened the curtain and looked at everything outside. Princess Jieyang, who was sitting opposite, pouted and said, "What! This place is even better than the capital of our Jieyang Kingdom. She had been freed from the fear of yesterday, and although her face was still pale, she could not hide her mood.

Yu Yao asked her with a smile: "Princess, why don't we wait and beg the second prince to let us also go around this episode and buy some gadgets that women like?" ”

In fact, Princess Jieyang was already tired of sitting in the carriage, and when she heard Yu Yao's proposal, she suddenly came to her senses, and hurriedly called the little girl beside her. The little servant hurried to the carriage and chased after the carriage to listen to the princess's arrangement.

As soon as the front turned to the rest station, the team stopped. The second prince was about to go to the room to rest, but was stopped by Yu Yao and Princess Jieyang, who were walking quickly. The princess stood at the foot of the stone steps, tilted her head and asked, "Second prince, I want to go to the market with my sister." ”

The second prince first looked at Yu Yao, and then at Princess Jieyang, hesitating. It's too dangerous to let your two beauties hang out alone. But these two beauties stood in front of them together, revealing gentle and touching longing eyes, how could they bear not to agree? When passing through the sea of quicksand yesterday, Princess Jieyang was so frightened that she lost her face, and it was time to go to this world for a walk. So, he smiled and said to Princess Jieyang, who was becoming more and more warm, "I'll go with you." ”

The three of them walked in the forefront, the second prince held Yu Yao in his left hand and Princess Jieyang in his right hand, his face was full of spring breeze, and his feet were full of tigers and tigers. He was followed by a hundred and ten escorts. Yu Yao and Princess Jieyang looked left and right at the gadgets on the street, Princess Jieyang pointed to a huge plaque and said to Yu Yao with a smile: "Sister Yu, you see this is the fairy mirror you told me about!" ”

Yu Yao's heart was suddenly pinched, she immediately let go of the second prince's hand and ran to the stall, not in a hurry to look at the fairy mirror, but anxiously looking at the inside of the store. The light outside is bright, and the inside of the house is getting darker. Yu Yao ignored the presence of the second prince and Princess Jieyang, and shouted loudly: "Boss, boss!" ”

A tall figure slowly walked out of the store, because of the backlight, she couldn't see the face hidden in the darkness clearly, Yu Yao looked hard, the tears gushing out blurred her vision, she raised her hand to wipe it away, blurred her vision again, wiped it again, and after repeating it twice, the figure finally passed through the long store corridor and stood in the clear sunlight.

It's not Lin Xiangdi. It wasn't Lin Xiangdi.

A young man as tall as Lin Xiangdi, the man asked with a smile, "Does the girl need a fairy mirror?" ”

Yu Yao held back tears and asked, "How did you get your fairy mirror?" Who taught you to do it? ”

The man just smiled and said to Yu Yao, "This has nothing to do with you. ”

Yu Yao stared at the man with a pair of bloodshot eyes. The man seemed a little frightened, took a step back and said, "Girl, if you want a fairy mirror, I'll give it to you." Why are you looking at me like that? After speaking, he picked up a bronze mirror from the counter and handed it to Yu Yao. Yu Yao just looked sideways slightly, the arrangement of the familiar fake gems was indeed different from the one from his own hand, but the angle of the mirror was similar, maybe it was just a mutual learning among peers.

She still didn't give up and asked, "Who taught you to do this?" Is it a man surnamed Lin? ”

Seeing Yu Yao's soothing face, the man squeezed out a smile and said, "That person passed by about three months ago, saw that I was at the door, and left in a hurry after casually pointing out how to modify the bronze mirror, and I didn't ask him what his name was." ”

Yu Yao felt that the person who pointed out should be Lin Xiangdi, and it seemed that he was still alive. Yu Yao asked softly, "In which direction did he go?" ”

The man said, "I'm probably going to the capital." ”

Before Yu Yao could be happy, the second prince and Princess Jieyang appeared from behind. The second prince looked at Yu Yao with puzzled eyes and asked, "Who went to the capital?" ”

Yu Yaomu thought for a long time before saying, "Second Prince, I just saw that this bronze mirror was very interesting. And on the second prince's side, Princess Jieyang was also holding a mirror to look left and right, and she couldn't put it down. The second prince looked at the two beauties beside him, was in a very good mood, and waved his hand: "Buy!" But she was secretly suspicious, this Yu Yao didn't answer what she asked, and she didn't know what secrets she was hiding. He suddenly realized that he was only concerned with the joy of seeing her for the first time, but he never asked her the ins and outs.

Before Yu Yao left, she reluctantly glanced at the few big words on the stall. This little bit of something related to Lin Xiangdi made her feel warm. The man also looked at the departing people in a daze, and thought: This woman is probably the lost lover that the nobles are looking for, but she is poor and brightly dressed, and she doesn't look like a person all the way.

The group of three wandered around the market for a while, but Yu Yao's mood did not improve, although she had tried her best to hide the sadness of this loss. The second prince turned around and saw the sadness in her eyes that couldn't be hidden, and whispered to her, "Yu Yao, if you don't feel well, let's go back and rest early." Yu Yao nodded lightly and walked in the direction of the inn.

Princess Jieyang found that Yu Yao was in a bad mood, so she was no longer reluctant, and followed Yu Yao and the second prince back to the inn. Yu Yao was thinking about Lin Xiangdi as she walked, and suddenly, her eyes lit up, and a tall back figure flashed around the corner of the street, and that back image was very similar to Lin Xiangdi. She shook off the second prince's hand again and ran in the direction where the man had disappeared. The second prince and Princess Jieyang didn't know what to do, and they also ran blindly together. When the three of them panted through the crowd and stood at the corner of the street, there were only a few people in that direction, and Lin Xiangdi was not there at all. Yu Yao's tears flowed down uncontrollably, and she thought, maybe she was dazzled again. Didn't the boss just say that he had already gone in the direction of the capital, how could he still stay here after so long. It must be that I miss him too much and look at the wrong person.

Without waiting for the second prince to ask, Princess Jieyang asked first: "Sister Yu, what's wrong with you?" Are you looking for someone? ”

Yu Yao wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said sadly: "No, I thought I saw an acquaintance, but I found that I was wrong." The second prince was full of doubts, waiting to return to the inn and interrogate Yu Yao again.

Before the second prince could interrogate, news came from the capital: the king was urgently summoned, and the second prince would enter the palace immediately tomorrow morning. It seems that the king, knowing that his destiny was not long enough to establish the kingdom on him, commanded the people: "Let us go at once, and there will be no rest." ”

Yu Yao just lay down on the bunk of the inn, got the order, and sighed lazily, it is still good in modern society, the transportation is developed, if you drive this short distance, it will only take two or three hours, but in this carriage, it is shaky, like a boat, bumpy and helpless, tired people have back pain, and now they have to rush non-stop, it seems that the whole person will have to fall apart when he arrives in the capital.

The group quickly set off and rushed to the capital. There was a person who hid behind the inn and did not follow, and after the carriage and horse team left, he slowly showed his head and walked to the shop with the words "fairy mirror" written on it. Yu Yao sat down in the carriage with confidence, and the little maid had been arranged to go out. Since Lin Xiangdi has appeared here, if you look around, you will definitely be able to find clues.

The second prince rode on his horse and watched the horse team leak forward, but the capital was close at hand, and it would not take three or five hours, and the blessed land called "Wuci Country" would become his own bag.

Suddenly, at the front of the horse team came the neighing sound of horses being pulled rapidly. The front team was in chaos, and someone exclaimed: "There is an ambush!" The shouts resounded through the night sky, and before they landed, the sound of fighting was heard.

The second prince's head buzzed and became big. Ambush? Who ambushed himself? The vicinity of the capital is heavily guarded, and he is the second prince of Wuciguo, who is so bold that he dares to attack himself?

There are more than a dozen guests in the palace of the second prince, but the most knowledgeable and well-informed one is called Shu Lin, a white-faced scholar with a clear face, who often helps the second prince to give advice and get acquainted with powerful ministers, hoping to help the second prince ascend to the throne one day. This time, he was also taken with the second prince. He rode behind the second prince and whispered, "Second prince, I have something to say below." ”

The second prince, who was in a trance, was startled by him and saw that it was him. He nodded and motioned for him to speak, but his eyes kept watching the scene of fighting and killing in front of the human wall. Shu Lin bowed his hand and said to the second prince, "The second prince wants to know, who sent this army to ambush you here?" ”

The second prince smiled bitterly and said, "If I know, it's your turn to speak?" ”

Shu Lin raised an imperceptible smile in the darkness and said: "Second Prince, if you want me to see, I think there are three points in this ambush: first, someone does not want you to inherit the throne; Second, some people don't even want you to enter the capital; Thirdly, who is the messenger, and is the king's illness really so serious? Do you have to leak fluid? ”

When the second prince heard this, he felt that it made sense. Nodding his head, he motioned for him to continue. Shu Lin said: "Second Prince, according to the following analysis, this person must be able to be the master of the capital, otherwise how could there be an ambush outside the city that is heavily guarded and heavily managed?" This person must not want you to sit on the throne, then it must be someone who also wants to sit on the throne. Think about it, has there ever been such a person? ”

The second prince searched in his heart for a long time, and he didn't expect it. Shu Lin looked sideways at the second prince's confused face, and said, "I have already thought of what this person's surname is for the second prince." The second prince looked at Shu Lin in surprise, laughed and asked, "Who?" ”
