In the palace, Concubine Shu was sitting in a chair, her face gloomy and extremely ugly.

The palace maids all lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

Shen Rui, the sixth prince, hurriedly walked in.

"Mother, just now there was news from the city defense yamen that the princess of Langjun has left Yujing with the eagle guard."

Concubine Shu couldn't bear it anymore, swept the tea cup in her hand to the ground, and scolded angrily.

"A bunch of rubbish! With so many people, you can't even catch a weak woman, what's the use of this palace asking you?! ”

The tea cup fell to the ground, shattered, and the tea splashed everywhere.

The palace ladies were so frightened that they fell to their knees.

Shen Rui persuaded: "Mother, please calm your anger, the matter has come to this point, we can only find a way to remedy it, don't be angry." ”

Concubine Shu took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart.

She looked at the willow branch kneeling on the ground and asked in a deep voice.

"What about the jade pendant you picked up earlier?"

Liu Zhi quickly took out a butterfly-shaped jade pendant with apricot white silk from his sleeve, offered it with both hands, and said respectfully.

"This is the jade pendant that Princess Langjun accidentally dropped during her escape, and the slave put it away, maybe it can come in handy."

Concubine Shu took the butterfly jade pendant and looked at it, whether it was workmanship or texture, this jade pendant was superior.

On the back of the jade pendant is engraved with the word "Lang", which is enough to prove that this is something from the palace of Lang County.

She handed the jade pendant to Shen Rui and admonished.

"You have someone send this jade pendant to Han Chengxi, remember to be fast.

In addition, you arrange a group of killers to intercept Yu Yuanxuan by all means.

This palace wants to see people in life, and corpses in death! ”

Shen Rui's heart sank.

He knew it was his last chance.

Once they miss it, they will no longer be able to kill the King of Langjun, and their situation will become more passive in the future.

He put away the jade pendant and said solemnly.

"I'll do it!"

……

Time is precious, and Yu Yuanrong and his party only rested for a while, and then set off again.

They followed the official road all the way to the east.

The night gradually passed, and the sky was white.

By noon, they arrived at the inn.

Meng Xizhou said: "Princess Jun, let's go there to replenish some water, and feed the horses some feed by the way." ”

Yu Yuan bowed his head and said yes.

The group stopped, the eagle guards went to feed the horses, Meng Xizhou took the water bladder to fetch water, and asked the post station officials about it by the way.

"Have you seen the team escorting Princess Tao Ran and her relatives passing by here in the past two days?"

The post officer said as he filled his water bladder.

"See, they were still here the night before yesterday, there were a lot of people, but we were busy."

Meng Xizhou asked again: "When did they leave?" ”

"I left at dawn yesterday, calculate the distance, they should be almost at Xifeng Mountain by now."

Meng Xizhou calculated in his heart, they were a day's away from the family sending team, but the family sending team was large, and the speed of the march would definitely not be too fast, as long as they accelerated their speed, they should be able to catch up with the family sending team tomorrow night.

Wei Xiao still wanted to sit down and have a cup of tea and rest for a while.

Yu Yuanxuan was unwilling, she urged.

"Hurry up, don't waste time."

Wei rarely saw that her little face was red from the sun, and because of the wind and food, her hair and body were covered with dust, and her whole person looked gray.

At this time, she didn't look like a princess of the county, but more like a girl from the countryside.

Wei Xiao couldn't help but ask.

"Do you need to work so hard?"

Yu Yuan said solemnly: "If I go late, King Langjun may die." ”

Wei Xiao smiled meaninglessly: "It's really rare, there are still people in this world who will fight hard for the king of Langjun, I thought everyone wanted him to die quickly." ”

Yu curled her lips.

"There are a lot of people who want him to die, but there are also a lot of people who want him to live.

For example, me, for example, Meng Xizhou, for example, Mama Xiuyan, and so many eagle guards in the Fa Division......

No matter what time he is, no matter where he is, whenever he needs us, we will do our best to help him. ”

She wants Xiao Ti to know that his world is not only dark, but also light.

Wei Xiao looked at her steadily.

He used to think that this woman was very annoying, but now she seems to be glowing.

The light was close to him, but it could never be touched.

Wei Xiao chuckled again, with a hint of self-deprecation in his tone.

"I used to laugh at King Langjun, thinking that he was too pitiful, he did so many things, and in the end he didn't end up infamy? But now I envy him a little. ”

At least when Xiao Ti is in danger, someone will rush to save him desperately.

If he was in danger, would anyone be willing to go out of their way to save him?

The answer is clearly no.

Even if Wynne was his adoptive father, Wynne would not give up everything for him.

In this way, the most pitiful person is actually him.

Yu Yuan looked at him puzzled, wondering why he could suddenly sigh like this?

Wei Xiao didn't mean to explain.

He stood up and stretched, then went to the innkeeper to buy some dry food and water.

The group set off again.

The sun was tippy, and the sky was getting dark.

Yu Yuanxuan was bent on finding Xiao Ti as soon as possible, and had no intention of stopping to rest.

They drove all night, and by noon the next day, the horses were exhausted and panting.

It happened that there was a tea house on the side of the road, and Meng Xizhou suggested stopping and resting for a while to let the horses catch their breath.

Although Yu Yuanxuan was anxious, he also knew that if he ran any longer, these horses would definitely be exhausted to death, so he agreed to Meng Xizhou's proposal.

The group sat down in the tea house.

The owner of the tea house enthusiastically poured tea for them and asked them what they wanted to eat?

Wei Yu picked up the teacup and was about to drink it, but was pulled by Yu Yu.

Yu Yuan looked at the owner of the tea house with a smile and asked rhetorically.

"Do you know who we are?"

The owner of the tea house said happily: "Looking at the dress of these officials, you know that it is the Eagle Guard of the Dharma Division, you are so dusty, you must be tired along the way, drink water, I will go get you some food." ”

Yu Yuan glanced at Meng Xizhou.

Meng Xizhou understood, and directly pulled out his saber to block the way of the owner of the tea house.

The owner of the tea house was taken aback: "What are you doing here?" I'm a good citizen, you can't come here nonsense! ”

Yu Yuan shook the teacup in his hand and asked with a smile.

"If you are a good citizen, why do you want to drugged our tea?"

The owner of the tea house seemed to have suffered a great grievance: "Madam, what are you talking about?" How dare I drug you, you have wronged me again! ”

Yu Yuan put the teacup on the table heavily.

"Since you said you didn't take the drug, then you gave me this cup of tea."
