Five days later. Prince's Mansion,

Du Zhenhe painted in front of the case, and Yu Nian looked at the tea cup on the sidelines.

"Let's see how I'm drawing." Du Zhenhe said suddenly. Yu Nian suddenly came back to his senses, got up and walked over. There is a farewell picture of Linjiang in front of the case, and the two people who say goodbye in the painting are depicted in great detail, but they don't have painted their faces. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a move, it must be an excellent painting." Du Zhenhe gently touched the people in the painting with his hand, "Do you know why I didn't paint their faces." Yu Nian shook his head. Du Zhenhe did not continue, but got up and walked straight out of the door, and sat down on the cushion under the eaves. Yu Nian followed and sat next to him.

"I waited for you for a long time that night."

"That night was a bit of an accident. The king of the county was drunk. ”

"Did she say anything?"

"It's just some gibberish. But I could tell from it that she didn't seem to be in a hurry for the throne. ”

"Oh, joke. And who would put ambition on their face? Du Zhenhe sneered, then hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "How many days have you been staying with the one from the General's Mansion?" ”

"Yes. There are also a few friends, reunited after a long absence. ”

"Why didn't you go to the county king?" Du Zhenhe casually looked at the ink stained on his cuffs.

Yu Nian paused, then suddenly turned his head to look at Du Zhenhe, "His Royal Highness the Prince, do you doubt me?" ”

Du Zhenhe didn't look at Yu Nian, raised his hand to take the tea handed by the little eunuch on the side, took a sip, and waved his hand to signal the little eunuch to retreat. Unhurriedly put down the teacup, "If you were suspicious, I wouldn't see you today." ”

"Then why did the prince say this?"

"You will enter the palace with me in three days."

"Don't we two have to avoid suspicion?"

"It's time to do the right thing, avoid suspicion."

"The prince is saying... Forced palace? ”

"Don't say it so ugly, it's just to persuade my father to pass on the throne to me in advance."

Yu Nian was silent for a moment, "Let's listen to the prince's arrangement." It's just..."

"Say."

"After the crown prince ascends the throne, how to deal with Chen Hao'er? She is not a guest of the prince's sect, and now lives in the position of general Fuyuan. ”

Du Zhenhe narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Nian and said, "Are you still thinking about her at this time?" After a pause, he continued, "That's it, you didn't put her at ease, you just regarded her as a friend, I know." She has made meritorious contributions in battle, and she is a great hero of the Du country, so she will naturally be treated well and rewarded. Du Zhenhe took out the jade plaque from his arms and looked at Yu Nian with a smile. Brother Yu doesn't have to worry. ”

Yu Nian nodded and didn't mention it again, "Then what do you need me to do these days?" ”

"Look at your father, and send someone to report to me every day who he has met and what he has said. Also, you don't have to come to the house for these two days, lest you attract attention, and send someone to spread any news. There are variables, and I will always find a way to tell you. "Du Zhenhe put away the jade plate." Be. Yu Nian nodded. There's one more thing I want you to help with. "What's the matter?" "I'm going to meet Du Zhuyue today." "Why?" "The spies on her side have no news recently, and I don't know if they have been discovered, I think about it, she loves you, and it is most appropriate for you to explore."

Listen to the wind building.

Chen Hao'er and Zhao Xuechi sat in the hall on the first floor, their expressions surprisingly identical, listening carefully to the storyteller's storytelling.

"This Shangwen County King, to the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was really love at first sight, goodbye infatuation. And these two sons also love the king of the county in every way. The two are talented and beautiful, which can be described as a good story. Speaking of that day, the king of the county and the second prince drank poems in the garden, talked happily with each other, and retired everyone, and the two were alone until late at night......"

"Feng'er, this second son... It can't be more than a year, right? Zhao Xuechi cautiously probed.

Chen Feng'er couldn't close her mouth in shock, "Sister Xuechi... It can't be... I don't know..."

The storyteller continued to speak vividly, sometimes some people drank well, some applauded, and some urged to speak quickly. "Our capital, it's another good story!" Hibiki fell on the table, and today's story ended.

Zhao Xuechi pulled the depressed Chen Hao'er out of the listening wind building, and watched Chen Hao'er's face get worse and worse, and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Hao'er, are you okay?" Chen Hao'er shook her head, really puzzled in her heart. She had the closest relationship with Yu Nian here at that time, but the name of the king of Shangwen County had never been heard. In addition, there is also a trace of loss and sadness in my heart. "Feng'er, don't think too much about it for the time being, the story told by the storyteller is not necessarily true! I'll accompany you to ask him, I think you two are in love. "What? Two lovers? Chen Feng'er raised her head ignorantly and said to herself, "Do I like him?" Zhao Xuechi looked at Chen Hao'er suspiciously, "You are mentioning him all the time, don't you know that you like him?" "I don't know, it's just that hearing that he's with someone else makes my heart ache." "That's what I like, my silly man. I'm sure he likes you too. The two of them said and walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After Yu Nian came back from the Prince's Mansion, he instructed a few cronies around him to guard Prime Minister Yu, changed his clothes, and prepared to go to the Junwang Palace. He was inexplicably a little scared in his heart, after seeing Du Zhuyue's gaffe last time, it had been more than half a month now. I don't know what kind of state this meeting will be like.

As soon as he walked to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, before he got into the sedan chair, he saw Chen Hao'er and Zhao Xuechi from a distance. Yu Nian beckoned to them. When the two approached, Yu Nian joked at Zhao Xuechi, "Why didn't you stay with your brother Shaowei." Zhao Xuechi looked at Yu Nian preparing to go out and asked, "It's almost dusk, where are you going?" Yu Nian looked up at the sunset in the west, and said casually, "Go to the Junwang Farewell Garden and do something." ”

"The Prince's Garden?" Chen Feng'er raised her head sharply and raised her voice. Yu Nian was taken aback and knocked on Chen Hao'er's head, "What are you doing in a daze." Chen Hao'er muttered, "That is to say, it's all true, Junwang Beiyuan, Shangwen Junwang..." Yu Nian asked. Zhao Xuechi was about to interrupt, but Chen Hao'er preemptively said, "It's nothing!" We're also passing by, so go ahead! Don't delay! As he spoke, he pulled Zhao Xuechi away, and the second monk of Yu Nian was puzzled and shouted, "What kind of nerves are you guilty of?" Chen Feng'er didn't reply, but replied loudly, "Be good to the king of the county!" Yu Nian shook his head inexplicably and got into the sedan chair.

On the way back to the General's Mansion, Chen Hao'er didn't say a word, no matter how Zhao Xuechi teased her, she looked like she had lost her soul. When she arrived at the house, Chen Hao'er ran in in despair, returned to her room, and closed the door. Zhao Xuechi followed, knocked on the door, and asked worriedly, "Feng'er, Feng'er, are you okay?" Chen Hao'er took a deep breath and said in a normal and brisk tone as much as possible, "Sister Xuechi, I'm fine, don't worry, I want to stay alone for a while, and I'll look for you later." Zhao Xuechi sighed and left.

Chen Hao'er sat alone in the room, feeling a mess in her head. She didn't know if she liked Yu Nian, and if not, why she was so sad to hear about him and others. When I saw him just now, he was wearing bright clothes for the first time, and he must have been carefully dressed. It's no wonder that he, when people see their important people, they always pay special attention to their own image. But, but. Chen Feng'er lay on the table in frustration, but what was he sad about, was it really just that he didn't tell himself about it. Chen Hao'er pressed her forehead against the table, and suddenly felt something on her chest hold on her. She didn't take it or touch it, and she knew it was a jade cherry blossom.

Chen Hao'er took out the small black bag, and there was a cut on the delicate bag that had been cut by the sword. Chen Feng'er stroked the wound, maybe everything had been foreshadowed a long time ago. Taking out the jade cherry blossoms, she didn't know if it was the light problem in the room or Chen Hao'er's psychological effect, she felt that the jade cherry blossoms didn't seem to be so thorough and clean, and the sword marks in the center of the stamens seemed to scratch Chen Hao'er's heart.

She looked at the jade cherry blossom in silence, and suddenly clenched it with determination. Got up and walked to the bookcase, opened a drawer at random, and threw the jade cherry blossom and the brocade bag into it.

Closing the drawer, Chen Hao'er took a deep breath. So be it, since it happened, accept it.

Chen Hao'er grinned at the bronze mirror, revealing an ugly smile.

Let's go out and find Sister Yukichi, she shouldn't be worried.

I opened the door and the light of dusk came in.
