Xiao Mu took the letter and opened it, and it could be seen that it was Yan Junshi's handwriting.

"The eyeliner of each post station along the way, but it has been cleaned up?" Reading the letter, Xiao Mu asked.

"Back to the general, with Jiang Linggong's help, everything is going well at the moment." Wang Jingyong said: "The subordinates have ordered another person to keep an eye on this matter, and secretly set up layers of defense along the way, trying to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and try to delay the news from all over the city to get into Beijing." ”

Xiao Mu bowed his head and put the letter away.

Seeing his general looking into the distance, Wang Jingyong hesitated for a moment before asking, "General, do you need to try to rescue Master Ji?" ”

They decided that the Beihou Mansion was not a place where their ears and eyes were closed, and the fact that Ji Huashi was under house arrest by the eldest princess of Yongyang naturally couldn't hide it from the general.

"She's not someone who needs to be saved—" Xiao Mu looked in the direction where Hengyu was and said, "She's a rescuer." ”

At this time, what she really needs to be protected is her decision.

……

At the same moment, in the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongyang.

"Lang Jun stays."

In front of the courtyard where Hengyu was, a female envoy who was guarding outside the courtyard raised her hand to stop the people.

"I heard today that Ah Heng hasn't eaten properly here for a few days, so I'm here to take a look at her—" The young man's warm and clear eyebrows were full of anxiety and worry at the moment.

"Your Highness has instructed that no one is allowed to approach this place except for the envoy who delivers food and medicine every day and her grandmother." The envoy looked indifferent and said in a non-negotiable tone.

"Yes...... Why did His Highness detain Ah Heng here? ”

The female envoy didn't squint: "This is not what Lang Jun should ask." ”

Shao Yan looked in the direction of the courtyard, and stopped talking for a while.

He was well aware of his identity, and although he had the reputation of being a prince, he always knew in his heart that he was not the true owner of this mansion.

But on weekdays, the people in the palace have always treated him kindly and respectfully, and now this female envoy treats him like this, obviously some things have changed unconsciously......

And he has not been completely unaware of these changes over the years...... His Royal Highness lived in the Manna Hall in the palace, and began to deal with political affairs, many rumors outside, and the eldest princess's mansion became increasingly heavily guarded, and some unfamiliar guard faces could be seen everywhere......

"Lang Jun, please go back." The envoy reminded with a blank face.

"But Ah Heng, she ......" Shao Yan's expression towards the female envoy just said: "You must remember to take care of Ah Heng." ”

The female envoy's tone was still indifferent: "This is nature. ”

One last glance at the direction of the courtyard, Shao Yan could only leave with the little servant.

"You go and inquire about what happened to Ah Heng after he came to the house that day, and why did His Royal Highness lock Ah Heng up......" After returning to the courtyard, Shao Yan, who was full of anxiety, confessed to the little servant.

The little guy responded and went immediately.

He had a close relationship with a second-class female envoy in the eldest princess's court, and secretly inquired about it, although he couldn't know the details, but he also had a general understanding of the situation-

"What!" Shao Yan was shocked: "You mean...... Ah Heng, she hurt Her Highness?! ”

"It's not the villain who said it, it's Sister Ayang in His Highness's courtyard...... And it is said that the injury was not light, and several basins of blood and water were brought out of His Highness's room that night! ”

"How can this be ......" Shao Yan only felt incredulous: "No, I have to go to see Ah Heng and ask her face to face!" ”

"Lang Jun can't go!" The little servant hurriedly stopped the person: "It's not that you didn't see the attitude of the female envoy, obviously it is impossible for you to see Heng Niangzi...... And the small one shouldn't say it, His Royal Highness has never said anything heavy, and now he can lock people up, if you disobey His Highness's intentions, then I'm afraid it's even more ......"

Even though he was just a small guy, he could also realize that His Highness was very different from before.

"But I'm really worried about Ah Heng......" Shao Yan's eyes were uncertain: "I want to know what happened, and why the atmosphere in the house is like this......"

There were too many doubts he had lately.

Until today, when I heard about Ah Heng, I couldn't suppress all these uneasiness.

The little guy persuaded: "Lang Jun is not in a hurry...... No matter what happened outside, as long as Lang Jun didn't ask as usual and stayed quietly in the courtyard, everything would always return to calm when things passed. ”

He was a little beggar who followed Lang Jun back then, and it was because of the light of Lang Jun's good skin that he was able to enter the rich and stable eldest princess's mansion together, and like Lang Jun, he was also afraid of returning to the days before -

Shao Yan sat back in his chair reluctantly.

He was fortunate to be picked up by His Highness's mercy, and with such an identity, he should be interesting and quiet, so that His Highness can rest assured, right?

His Royal Highness is the eldest princess who is high up, and he is a beggar covered in dirt, and when His Royal Highness smiles at him, he always feels full of an indelible sense of distance.

Over the years, there was never a drop of awe in his heart. And for now...... It's more of fear.

The boy's gaze looked through the open window into the night, and then through the night to look farther away.

The world outside the courtyard is larger and more open, but it is also full of unknowns and dangers.

The pain and unbearableness he experienced when he was young flashed before his eyes, and the young man's face turned slightly pale, and he slowly clenched his fingers.

As long as it's the same as usual, is it okay?

……

Early the next morning, after seeing the two confidant officials, the eldest princess of Yongyang asked her about Hengyu's situation.

"I haven't eaten much, the maid went back to see it yesterday, Heng Niangzi was lying on the bed, she refused and didn't have the strength to speak, and if she continued like this, I was afraid that it would be ......" Qi Zhen's tone was not very relaxed.

"What is she going to do?" The eldest princess of Yongyang narrowed her eyes slightly and thought: "Threatening death, do you want to force the palace to let her go?" Or is there something else in mind...... Qi Zhen, do you think her assassination of this palace is too reckless? ”

Qi Zhen lowered her eyes and said subconsciously: "If you look at Heng Niangzi's previous temperament, she is a little reckless. But it's about Mr. Qinghan's death...... She also regarded Her Royal Highness as her own mother, and when she learned the truth, she felt that she had been deceived and deceived, and she was hit hard...... If you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that you will lose your mind. ”

Hearing her say this, the eldest princess of Yongyang bowed her head slightly: "This is also ...... No matter how she is, she is still just a little girl. Even when the palace was as old as her, and she was still stupidly fighting for my stupid royal brother on the battlefield, it is not as clear as her now that she is reckless, but at least she knows how to quench the poison on the dagger that stabs at the palace. ”

She sighed: "People, you always have to go through more things before you can really grow up slowly." ”

Seeing this, Qi Zhen said in a timely manner: "Your Highness, you know the temperament of Heng Niangzi, if it is not a bird that can be kept in a cage, she will not bow her head and submit to softness in a short period of time, if you really just want to teach her, not want to see her fold here, you still have to be cautious......

"You can't put it...... If she lets her out, she will stab me. Now is not the time to indulge her in nonsense. The eldest princess of Yongyang sighed lightly: "But if you don't eat for a long time, it's not a way......

"It's better to do that." She thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "If you send a message to her tomorrow on behalf of the palace, saying that she doesn't need to eat for a day, the palace will ask someone to cut off a hand of someone in her family and send it to her...... She can also choose by herself, who she wants to see first, just say, it is the little girl she put on the tip of her heart, and this palace can also answer her. ”

Her tone was casual, with a hint of a smile, but her back was slightly cold when she heard it.

"Yes, the servant will deliver it tomorrow."

"I'm not afraid that she won't believe it, it's always the palace that cares, and she's the only one who cares, and I don't bother to care about the lives of the rest of the Ji family." The eldest princess of Yongyang raised her hand and gently rubbed her temples, and asked casually, "Speaking of the Ji family, how are they reacting now?" ”

She asked carefully, obviously not completely let down her guard, and Qi Zhen also replied carefully: "Every day I send someone to the house to ask, I am very anxious, yesterday I heard that Heng Niangzi was introduced into the palace by His Royal Highness, this morning Naji Jialangjun entered the palace, and asked the people of the East Palace to inquire secretly......"

"That's ......" the eldest princess of Yongyang yawned: "Then let them go for the time being." ”

Immediately, she casually asked, "Is the thing ready?" Li Ping's mother and son said that they were going to come to the palace tomorrow morning to say goodbye. If he is really cowardly as a mouse, he is attached to Zhongshu Province, but he still doesn't dare to confront this palace, and he still wants to try to show his good......"

Qi Zhen lowered her voice: "Return to Your Highness...... It's all set. ”

The eldest princess of Yongyang nodded slightly.

He was blessed and withdrew.

The morning sun in early summer is already a little dazzling, and its eyes are uncertain when it walks into the sun.

……

That night, Hengyu got up from the couch silently as usual after the lights went out.

When I came to the window, I suddenly heard a very soft tapping sound from the window.

At first she thought it was the night wind blowing the sand, but after a while the sound sounded again, every two breaths, slow but rhythmic.

Hengyu put up his guard, walked lightly to the window, and lowered his voice very low: "Who?" ”

"Ah Heng, it's my ......!" It was only when she responded that the man dared to whisper.

Heng Yu was stunned for a moment, and gently pushed the window open.

During the day, she would always leave a gap in the window lattice, so that it would not be too closed, and when she pushed it open, she would not make too obvious noise, so as to alarm the female envoy who was guarding outside.

There were a few plantain plants outside the window, and as soon as she opened the window, she saw a jade-like young man wearing an ink-colored cloak standing under the banana tree, and a pair of clear eyes were full of anxiety in the night.

"Ah Heng......" He looked uneasily into the room behind her, his voice low enough that only the two of them could hear it.

"There's no one in the house, it's all outside." Hengyu asked in a low voice, "Shao Yan, why are you here?" ”

"I'm worried about you...... They won't let me come to see you, I only have ...... Only Arito let me come in over the wall. ”

Heng Yu looked at him with some surprise.

Seeing her demeanor by the moonlight, Shao Yan asked uncomfortably, "Do this...... Isn't it very inappropriate? ”

"Nope." A smile appeared on Hengyu's overly weak face: "That's good." ”
