Because of the episode in the middle of the night, Shen Yunjiao slept a little more in the morning and didn't wake up until dawn.

She was very annoyed, obviously her plan last night was to get up early and go back to the capital.

She didn't return all night, and Old Madam Su would definitely be worried.

However, she is different from Su Lanxiu, she is not a serious girl of the Su family, and she is not even a cousin.

Even if she doesn't return at night, no one else will care except for those in Pingkangyuan.

Shen Yunjiao got dressed and asked Cuiye to go to the room where she lived to have a look.

Hearing Cui Ye say that there was no one inside, Shen Yunjiao went in.

The bed was neatly arranged, and no one had slept on it.

She walked around the chamber casually, and found only a few pieces of bloody gauze in the corner.

Shen Yunjiao pointed to the gauze: "Throw these away, let's go back." ”

After breakfast, when Shen Yunjiao was about to go back, she found that the carriage she gave to King Lu yesterday appeared at the door of Zhuangzi, and the coachman also slept soundly on Zhuangzi.

Shen Yunjiao muttered in her heart, it seems that King Lu is not very cheeky.

The three masters and servants got into the carriage and headed in the direction of the capital.

But the gates of the capital were closed, and one early morning, the people and carriages waiting to enter the city were blocked out of the city.

Shen Yunjiao asked the coachman to drive the carriage to a slightly more empty place, and Qingyu got out of the carriage to inquire about the situation.

Soon, Qingyu came back with a solemn face.

After getting into the carriage, she said, "Girl, the slave and maid inquired because His Royal Highness King Lu was missing. ”

Shen Yunjiao was stunned for a moment, and her mind couldn't turn around.

Qingyu's face turned pale, "If it is known by others, His Highness was on our Zhuangzi last night...... Will we be implicated? ”

Shen Yunjiao came back to her senses and reassured: "Don't be afraid, as long as we don't say it, no one will know." The coachman may know something, you go and knock him. ”

"Yes." Qingyu went out to talk to the coachman.

The coachman, for the sake of the head of Xiang and the lives of the family, is naturally what Qingyu says.

Until the sun rose high, the gates showed no sign of opening.

Until a team of people appeared in the distance, attracting everyone's attention.

In particular, the two men on horses led by him are particularly outstanding.

The man at the front was dressed in an immaculate white robe, gentle and elegant, with a slightly raised chin, with the majesty of the superior.

The man who was a little behind had extremely handsome facial features, but his expressionless and even slightly cold face exuded a trace of coldness, which made it impossible to approach.

Zhou Xinghao glanced back, "In order to find this king, I'm afraid the prince didn't close his eyes all night." ”

Xiao Shijing, who had a cold expression, said in a light tone: "It's worth it to find His Highness." ”

Zhou Xinghao smiled contemptuously and looked forward.

Because of the injury on his arm, he held the reins in a strange manner.

Seeing the city gate from a distance, Xiao Feng rode a fast horse and galloped over, and said a few words to the guards guarding the gate, and the city gate opened.

A pair of guards came out of it, maintained order on both sides of the road, and let King Lu and his party pass first.

Zhou Xinghao did not publicize his identity, but the ordinary people on the side of the road dared to look at Zhou Xinghao and his party curiously.

Because she had been sitting in the carriage for a long time, Shen Yunjiao had already gotten out of the carriage and breathed outside.

Seeing King Lu from afar, she originally wanted to hide back in the carriage.

But as soon as she saw the people following King Lu, she was reluctant.

She secretly hated her own incompetence, but she couldn't move.

Something seems to have changed since I saw that side in the peach blossom forest.

The two of them, who had nothing to do with each other in their previous lives, slowly changed.

Especially before she died in her last life, after knowing Xiao Shijing's intentions for herself, she could no longer pretend not to know.

If Xiao Shijing is kind to her, but she doesn't respond, then she will become a white-eyed wolf.

Xiao Shijing glanced sideways slightly, and met Shen Yunjiao's gentle honey-like eyes.

He looked over, and Shen Yunjiao quickly retracted his gaze.

He couldn't help but think of the cat that Xiao Yiyi had a few years ago, and when he got closer, the cat curled up in a ball and hid in the corner.

If he insisted on going over, the kitten would show its little paws.

He laughed abruptly.

Shen Yunjiao stared down at the tips of her shoes, but keenly felt the blazing gaze that fell on her.

It must be Xiao Shijing laughing at her timidity.

She lowered her head like a quail, not daring to look at Xiao Shijing at all.

It was Qingyu who came to her and said, "Girl, get in the carriage, you can enter the city soon." ”

Shen Yunjiao hummed in a low voice and got into the carriage.

Zhou Xinghao turned his head sideways, as if smiling: "The son of the world has a sweetheart?" ”

The smile on Xiao Shijing's face was fleeting, and he returned to his cold appearance, "His Royal Highness Mo Naweichen made fun of it. ”

Zhou Xinghao snorted.

*

Back at Pingkang Courtyard, Mrs. Su hugged Shen Yunjiao and reprimanded her, "If you don't come back one night, why don't you send someone to talk to me?" Do you know how anxious I am? Don't talk about me, look at them one by one, they all didn't sleep well because of you. ”

Shichun took a step forward and pouted: "Girl, the slave is almost scared to death." I don't know what happened last night, the whole city was under martial law, and the city gates were closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave. ”

Shen Yunjiao guessed that it must be because of King Lu.

She patiently told everything that happened last night, except for things related to King Lu.

She hugged Mrs. Su's arm and coquettishly said, "Old lady, I didn't mean it. It was so sudden that the carriage broke down, and I was in a hurry. I was also scared at night, so I had to stay in Zhuangzi for one night. ”

Old Madam Su sighed and touched Shen Yunjiao's hair, "The next time I go out, let Mother Ping and Mother Zheng follow, even if I go to Zhuangzi for one night, I don't have to worry." ”

Shen Yunjiao snorted.

For the rest of the day, it was calm on the surface.

It's just that Shen Er's sudden visit broke all the peace.

Shen Er brought two baskets of vegetables and fruits that had just been picked in the field, saying that he wanted to taste them for Mrs. Su.

Old Madam Su was also very polite to Shen Er.

She knew very well that after her death, Shen Er would be Shen Yunjiao's reliance.

Old Madam Su smiled kindly: "It's hard for you to still miss me, an old woman." ”

Shen Er's face was full of flattery: "What the old lady said, you are well maintained, if you don't say it, others will definitely recognize you as my sister." ”

His words made Mrs. Su and the others laugh.

Shen Yunjiao stiffened her face and couldn't laugh.

She knows very well that this father, for no reason, how could he come all the way to deliver vegetables and fruits to Mrs. Su?

There must be something to ask for.

She slowly lowered her head and looked at her white and clean hands, because she had not done any rough work, and there was not a single callouse on them.

Shen Er said a lot of flattering words, and then he felt that it was time to talk about business.
