16 To the county of Hemu
During those days in the Ministry of Rites, Lord Hongden saw with his own eyes that Jielan worked so hard to learn all the things of the Ministry of Rites that she only rested for two hours every day, and even stayed up all night to deal with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, how could such a diligent child be the kind of person who escaped from the battle, but rumors spread in the royal city, which made him unable not to believe it anyway, so in order to find out the truth of the matter, he asked the king for permission for him to come out to find Jielan, but he didn't expect to suddenly see her here.
"Wechen also wants to believe in you, that's why he came here." After listening to Jielan's words, Lord Hongden felt a lot more relieved, and felt that she should not have escaped from the court without permission, as long as this was not the case, he would be very pleased.
"Then please believe me, my lord, I will never give up my identity as a princess and flee from the court, but I never thought that things would develop like this, today I heard that your lord came to Jin Zhao City, so I asked Jin Xuan City Lord to let me come to see you no matter what."
"Then tell me, princess, why did you leave the royal court, or by the puzzling way of the aqueduct." Hongden was surprised by this, he thought of countless reasons, but he couldn't come up with a good reason.
Although Jielan understands that she was framed by Princess Nanrong to make it so, but since she and Princess Jin Xuan have already thought of a plan to get rid of the crime, then she can't tell the facts, although she still has to deceive the Hongsan who she respects, but this is also a last resort, she only said: "I have to go out of the court because of some important matters, and this matter is related to the life and death of the Blood Ying Kingdom, as a princess, I must investigate this matter clearly, so as to prepare for the future, originally I wanted to inform Shaojun and Lord Chengfu in advance, But I was afraid that if I told them, they would stop me from going, so I thought about sneaking out, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. ”
"Is it about the life and death of the Blood Ying Country? What the hell is going on? When Hiroto-sama heard this, he didn't know why, but he felt the seriousness of it.
Jielan took out the paperwork in her sleeve and handed it to Lord Hongden, Lord Hongden wanted to open it to see, but Jielan held it down to stop her, and only said: "Don't open it, I need you to help me transfer this letter to Lord Shaojun, remember not to let others know the content of the letter, because I am worried that the people in Wang Cheng will be related to this matter, and when Shaojun knows the content of the letter, I believe he will summon you and Lord Chengfu to discuss this matter, and then the Lord will know the reason for the matter." ”
Lord Hongden was even more puzzled, not knowing what the big thing Jielan was talking about, he hurriedly asked: "What is it that makes you dare to risk being robbed of power to come out of the court, and the princess doesn't want to tell me because she can't trust the old man?" ”
Jielan heard Lord Hongdeng's words, so guilty, she saluted politely to Lord Hongdeng, and said: "I will never forget the kindness of adults to me in my life, I also respect my teacher as an adult, how can I not believe you, but this matter is very important, I think before I meet Shaojun, it is safer for adults not to know about this matter." ”
Seeing that Jielan spoke so sincerely, Lord Hongden no longer doubted her intentions, he put the document into his cuff and said, "Okay, I believe the princess, but according to what the princess said, are you unwilling to go back to the royal court with Weichen?" ”
Jielan sighed, her brows tightened, she raised her head to look at the red maple tree, and suddenly sighed with great emotion, and said: "I haven't seriously appreciated the maple tree for a long time, and it is a blessing to be able to enjoy the red maple here with the teacher today." ”
Lord Hongden didn't know why Jielan suddenly said about the red maple, but he looked up at the delicate red tree, but he was also a little sad in his heart, and only said: "Yes, only when I look at this red maple tree, I feel that life is beautiful, and it is also a pleasant thing if I can always look at it so leisurely." ”
Jielan's eyebrows were even more worried, and she only said: "Such a beautiful maple tree, if it is because of our ignorance or their desires, the red eyes may turn into a shocking color, such as human blood, the blood of human beings who soak the earth and burn the sky." ”
Lord Hongden was a little shocked to hear that Jielan had suddenly moved from the maple tree to such a cruel topic, but he soon understood what she meant, and he understood the burden that Jielan was carrying, and he suddenly felt that the woman in front of him exuded an admirable light, which made him willingly willing to surrender to her holy power. Hongdeng lowered his head, smiled slightly, and said: "It seems that in the end, it turned out to be me too worried, okay, since the princess has her own plans, then Weichen will no longer stop it, but the princess needs to tell me where you plan to go, and Weichen can also inform Shaojun after he goes back, and he can also let Weichen rest assured." ”
Jielan stretched out her hand and gently held Lord Hongdeng's arm, and said, "Heimu County, if something happens, your lord can send someone there to find me." ”
Lord Hongden nodded, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It seems that I should also go back to the royal court, it is just a waste of time to stay here, Weichen will say goodbye to the city lord of Jinxuan in a moment, and you should be more careful outside." ”
Jielan nodded, remembering a more important thing, and said: "By the way, after the adults go back, please check how Lord Bai Bing knew that I came out of the court through the canal, and please help me find out how I was intercepted and killed by the men in black in Jinzhao City, and who sent those men in black, the investigation of this matter must be secret, and the adults can negotiate with Lord Bai Bing, although he wants to arrest me and return to the royal court, but I think that is also his duty, and I will not blame him for this, so Lord Bai Bing will definitely help you." ”
"You were intercepted by the men in black?" As soon as Honto-sama heard about such a dangerous thing, he naturally became worried again, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”
Jielan smiled gracefully and said, "Don't you see that I'm standing in front of adults now?" ”
Hongdeng was always worried, feeling that the road ahead was dangerous, Jielan went to Heimu County alone, how could he rest assured, and persuaded: "You are always not at ease, I still send a few people to protect the princess!" ”
Jielan immediately rejected Lord Hongdeng's suggestion, and only said: "I think you also know that a large number of people does not necessarily make things happen, so don't worry about me anymore, don't worry, I will take care of myself, and the affairs of Wangcheng will get rid of you." Jielan bowed down to Lord Hongden again, which was regarded as expressing her gratitude.
Lord Hongden looked at the mature princess in front of him, her wise and calm light had made Hongden look at her differently, and he turned away, not wanting to see her face again, for he was afraid that he would not be able to let go of this emotion, and let her risk this uncertain life and death alone.
Jielan looked at Lord Hongden's emaciated back, knowing his state of mind, although the two didn't get along for long, but Jielan respected Lord Hongden as her elder from the bottom of her heart, she knew that no matter how reluctant she was, she would also separate, she didn't stay anymore, turned around, and walked towards the 'Hidden Moon Pavilion', and Kou Ying, who had been waiting on the side, bowed to Lord Hongden and then withdrew from the palace.
Jielan returned to the 'Hidden Moon Pavilion', she changed out of her gorgeous costume, put on her black men's clothes, and then tied up a royal blue hair, wrapped her hair in a black scarf, in order to not be easily identified, Jielan was about to go out of the house, but saw the black pig walk in, he saw Jielan carrying a package, he knew that she wanted to leave, so he asked, "Lan, are you leaving?" Is it back to the royal court? ”
Jielan shook her head, she leaned over, put her arm on the shoulder of the black pig, and said, "I'm going to go to Heimu County, but if I go there, I need to hide my identity, so, Long Yi, during this time, can you stay here and wait for me to come back?" ”
When the black pig heard that Jielan planned to leave it alone, he immediately became anxious and said, "No, Lan, how can I rest assured that you will go to Heimu County alone, I will not agree to anything." ”
Jielan stood up, but she was a little embarrassed, because Long Yi was too conspicuous, if she arrived in Heimu County, she would be easily recognized, so wouldn't she be restrained by her actions? She only said: "Don't worry, I'm just going to do something, and there won't be any danger, you know?" ”
The black pig lowered his head and turned around, the lonely back made people feel sad to look at, and he said in a low voice: "I know, Lan, are you worried that my appearance will delay your errands?" ”
Jielan felt the loss and sadness of the black pig, how could she bear to let the black pig be like this, she gently put her hands on the shoulders of the black pig, and said warmly: "No, Long Yi, you think too much, I just want you to stay here, after all, your injury is not healed, it is always inconvenient to go out and act, and I don't want you to suffer with me anymore, you know?" ”
The black pig's head lowered even more, and only said: "Lan, I know that my appearance has caused you a lot of trouble, not only have you not hated me, but you have always cared about me and taken care of me, I am really grateful, I also know that I have no ability to change my appearance, but I still want to be by your side all the time, even if you say that I am shameless, whether I am ignorant, I will follow you, because I am afraid that as soon as I leave you, something will happen to you, even if I can't help you anything, But I guess I can be there for you, at least when Blue needs me the most, that's all. ”
In the face of the black pig's deep words, how could Jielan not be soft-hearted, she sighed, hugged the black pig into her arms, and said: "How can I blame you, how can I say that you are irreplaceable in my heart!" Jielan knew that she couldn't let the black pig stay alone, although she was a little reluctant, but she could only decide, "This time, I'll take you with me, okay?" ”
