On this day, Su Rong and Feng Ling came to the capital, and there were ten days left before the scientific expedition.

Feng Ling asked in a low voice, "Master, are we looking for a place to stay?" Or go to the gentleman's mansion to find the eldest son?"

Su Rong glanced at the sky, it was already evening, and she was hungry in her stomach, "Let's find a place to eat first!"

Feng Ling nodded, "Find a random one?"

Su Rong said "um", took a few steps on his horse, and suddenly said, "No, let's go to the East Palace, the food in the East Palace should be very good, and there is no need to spend money."

Feng Ling: "......"

Isn't this a matter of no money?

Su Rong doesn't care, if you talk about comfortable food and comfortable living, there is no place in the capital that can compare to the palace and the east palace, right? She needs a good meal, and she needs to find a place to soak in a flower bath and sleep comfortably.

After beating the horse into the capital and passing the city gate, Su Rong visually surveyed the direction of the imperial city and followed the road to the East Palace.

Feng Ling endured it for a few times, but couldn't help but remind her, "Master, don't we need to freshen up and change our clothes before visiting the East Palace?" Do you want to go away like this?"

It's not that he dislikes himself, but it's actually that the two of them are estimated to have two catties of dust on their bodies, and they can't even see their original appearances. Just ran to the East Palace, didn't it dirty His Royal Highness the Prince's noble land?

The East Palace should be spotless, right?

Su Rong didn't take it seriously, "A few months ago, when I rescued the prince in the mountain behind the Chenghuang Temple in Jiangning County, he was extremely embarrassed, and I didn't dislike him, but I still rescued him."

In other words, isn't he virtuous and virtuous, Lang Lang Xuanju? Will you dislike her?

Feng Ling was persuaded, "Okay!"

You are the master, you have the final say!

So, the two of them didn't delay any longer, and went all the way to the East Palace.

The East Palace is too big, and both the front and back doors are heavily guarded.

Su Rong pondered for a while, but still went to the back door, and said to the gatekeeper, "I went to tell His Royal Highness the Prince, and said that someone from Jiangzhou asked to see him."

The person guarding the door looked Su Rong up and down, his eyes full of doubts, but he didn't show a disgusted expression, and asked routinely, "Why don't you go to the front door?"

"Isn't that inconvenient?" Su Rong blinked.

The gatekeeper paused and asked, "Is there a token then?"

"Nope!"

The gatekeeper hesitated for a moment and wanted to send someone away, but he was afraid that it was really the person His Highness wanted to see, so he delayed His Highness's business, turned around and was punished, and said "Wait a minute", but went to tell him.

Feng Ling leaned close to Su Rong's ear and commented, "There are no dogs looking down on people, it can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a way of governing the family."

Su Rong said "hmm".

How many gatekeepers in the Gaomen Mansion are corrupted by this sentence "dogs look down on people", after all, she and Feng Ling really don't look like some distinguished guests now, they are disgraced and dusty, and they don't have the slightest good appearance.

Prince Yan Echo came out of the study and was about to go to dinner, when he heard someone say, saying that there was a man and a woman, who were now waiting at the back door, saying that someone from Jiangzhou asked to see him, and asked His Royal Highness for instructions.

Yan Echo's footsteps slammed, "Can you ask your name?"

The man's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly pleaded guilty, "Your Highness forgive your sins, the villain, the villain, the villain, look at those two people who are disgraced...... I only asked if there was a token, but the two said no, and the villain forgot to ask for a while......

The man hurriedly turned around, "The villain is going to ask."

Yan Hui shouted to him, "That's it, go alone!"

The man was shocked, and hurriedly got out of the way, thinking that it was fortunate that he didn't send people away at will, otherwise he would have caused a big disaster. Once upon a time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally went out to greet people? In addition to His Majesty, even the queen mother came to the East Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only welcomed him out of the study or bedroom.

Yan Echo paced towards the back door, looking at the steps were not big, but they were walking fast, and the gatekeeper needed to trot all the way to keep up.

On the way, he met Zheng Xi, the housekeeper of the East Palace, and when he saw Yan Echo walking in a hurry, he asked suspiciously, "Your Highness, are you going out of the palace?"

"It's not."

Zheng Xi wondered, and wanted to ask, "Then what are you?" , but see Yan Hui

The sound was already far away, and he hurriedly grabbed the gatekeeper behind him and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" What are you going to do, Your Highness?"

"Someone from Jiangzhou, His Royal Highness said to pick him up at the door in person." The man hurriedly said.

Zheng Xi was taken aback, didn't think much about it, and hurriedly followed.

Su Rong originally thought that he would have to wait for half an hour, after all, the East Palace was too big, and the reports were handed up layer by layer, and Yan Echo was the prince again, so if he delayed it, he had to take this time, but he didn't expect that the gatekeeper looked around and didn't find the housekeeper, so he simply went directly to Yan Echo's study to report, she just waited for two or three teas, and the back door opened from the inside, revealing a golden figure.

Wearing an ink-colored brocade robe, python pattern and gold-edged rolling line, he is slender, his complexion is like jade, and his body is full of extravagance.

He saw the man standing against the wall, and the woman squatting at the base of the wall waiting boredly.

"Master, get up quickly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." Feng Ling recognized the four-clawed python robe on Yan Echo's body, and was shocked, thinking that this was the prince, right? Is the prince so approachable? Didn't someone bring them into the palace gate, but in person?

Su Rong had also seen the person, stood up slowly, left the root of the wall, walked to a distance three steps away from Yan Echo and stopped, and stretched out his paw to greet him, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I'm Su Rong."

Yan Echo was stunned when he saw Su Rong like this at first glance, and searched out from his memory the figure who saved him by the river at the beginning, no matter what, he couldn't match the number, but he was strong in his heart and smiled, "What are you...... Just entered Beijing?"

"Yes, I'm here for you." Su Rong didn't dare to pat the soil on his body, for fear of choking Yan Echo, "I killed all the way, I was tired to death, I didn't want to go to my eldest brother to disturb him preparing for the exam, and I didn't bother to find a place, and I had to work hard to settle it myself, so I came to you directly."

In other words, you plan to eat and drink, you live in your place, you don't have to worry about it, you don't have to do it.

Yan Echo smiled, covered her lips and coughed, and nodded with a smile, "Welcome."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Feng Ling, "Who is this?"

"My guard."

Feng Ling stepped forward, half a step behind Su Rong, and bowed his hand, "In Xia Fengling, meet His Royal Highness the Prince."

Yan echoed his head, his face returned to the same as before, and he turned back to the housekeeper and instructed, "The Jade Treasure Pavilion, which is closest to the lonely dormitory, immediately go and ask someone to clean it up."

Zheng Xi's eyes widened, and he hurriedly responded, "The old slave is going now."

After he finished speaking, he asked tentatively, "Please come with the old slave?"

Yan Echo waved his hand, "You go and clean up first, and take them over by yourself."

The butler was even more frightened, nodded again and again, and hurried forward.

Yan Echo made a gesture of invitation to Su Rong, Su Rong walked up to follow him, Feng Ling sighed in his heart that the face of the master's life-saving benefactor was really big, and he also entered the East Palace behind the two.

As the two entered, the back door of the East Palace was closed again, and the gatekeeper repeatedly warned himself after this incident that he must guard the door in the future, but everyone who came must be treated carefully.

He was thinking about it, when he saw Yan Echo, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and said to him, "Good job, I'll go to the account office to receive the reward later."

The man was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Yan Echo turned his head and asked Su Rong, "Are you injured?"

"Alright."

"When did you depart from Jiangzhou?"

"Ten days ago."

"Is it because the road is not calm after walking for so long?" Yan Hui frowned, "You said that you killed all the way, but were you injured?"

"Poisoned." Su Rong said easily, "Fortunately, I had the foresight to collect a lot of poison antidotes in advance and bring them with me, otherwise I might not have been able to come to the capital intact."

Yan Echo pursed his lips, "Still Nan Chu's killer?"

"Well, there are five groups of men." Su Rong said: "It seems that it is not only the queen of Nanchu who wants to kill me, but the five groups of people are not the same. Apparently not at the behest of one person."

When she first came out of Beijing, she was the queen of Southern Chu

The people who were sent in were right, generous, but the later ones were not.

"Is there a counter-kill?" Yan Echo thought that if she couldn't kill her and let her go, Nan Chu's side would soon know that she had come to the capital.

"None of them were released." Su Rong did not hide from Yan Echo, after all, if you want to cooperate in the future, integrity is the most important.

Yan Echo's footsteps paused again, and he praised, "Amazing."

Su Rong waved his hand and said modestly, "It's okay!"

Yan echoed laughs.

Su Rong found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to love to laugh, and because he looked good, he smiled quite well, she thought to herself silently, no wonder she won the hearts of the people without such a shelf.

When he came to Yuzhen Pavilion, he saw Zheng Xi leading people to work back and forth, and seeing Yan Echo coming with people, Zheng Xi hurriedly said: "Warm water has been sent from the kitchen, the two distinguished guests can bathe first, and then have dinner, and when it is cleaned up, the old slave also took someone to settle here."

Yan echoed his head and said to Su Rong warmly, "Go take a bath!"

Su Rong nodded, followed a palace maid and walked two steps, and suddenly asked, "Is it a bath with flower petals?"

The butler said, "Yes."

Su Rong was relieved.

Feng Ling muttered, "I don't want petals."

The butler hastened and said, "You don't."
