Song Xing has always been arbitrary, and it is rarely difficult to get her, and Ruan Mingjiao's autobiography does not see how much the respected county lord like her is worried about this, and she feels that it is wrong: "What is going on, if you don't talk about it, I am really going to die in a hurry." ”

Song Xing's eyes flashed, he straightened up the expression lying on the desk, and after a little thought, he said, "Do you remember what the princess of the palace banquet said that day?" ”

She thought for a moment Ruan Mingjiao was stunned for a moment, and nodded, "Remember, what's wrong?" ”

"I'm afraid it's really come true, the princess is married, Your Majesty intends to marry me and Liu Qingfeng, the servant of the Criminal Department, these days even the rewards have been sent into the house, my father also intentionally or unintentionally mentioned in front of me how Liu Qingfeng treats people sincerely, the jade tree that was born is in the wind, and the appearance is dignified, and he also said that I am Gao Pan, who accompanies me with an empty brain." Song Xing said, pursed his lips in great dissatisfaction, and patted the table angrily.

"Poof!" Ruan Mingjiao couldn't hold back her laughter, and stopped abruptly after Song Xing's gaze, showing embarrassment.

She had the impression that at the spring banquet that day, she was indeed a talent, and her every move was different from Yan Zheng's, but she had the temperament of a literati.

But she really doesn't know how to act, what her temperament is. Song Xing is the youngest daughter of Boyang Hou, she has been pampered since she was a child, and her temper is pampered and she can't stand a little hardship.

Seeing Song Xing crawling on the table, as if no one was lively a few days ago, Ruan Mingjiao also felt that she didn't think deeply just now, and now she had to coax, "Don't worry, although this marriage is Your Majesty's will, it is not that there is a possibility of reversal before the decree is made, so instead of worrying here." Why don't we go and check this Liu Qingfeng and make plans in advance? If you can catch him and report it to Your Majesty, this marriage may be resolved. ”

She raised her eyebrows at Song Xing, with a look of what you know, and the person who was not angry suddenly sat up, his eyes shining as if he had grasped the last straw: "Yes, why didn't I expect that, Gillian, you are really my lucky star." ”

"Bang!" Ruan Mingjiao was dragged by the arm, her face was full of energy, and she was just about to respond, when there was a sudden burst of light in the house, like daylight, and the sound of fireworks outside was mixed with the voices of people on both sides of the street.

The two of them looked for prestige, and the colorful light in the gray sky, mixed with all kinds of candle lights in the streets and alleys, was really a rumor, which was the signal for Xiao Ruohan to set off, and the originally relaxed atmosphere in the house fell silent again.

"Ruohan is leaving." Song Xing came to the window, the wind by the lake mixed with the smell of gunpowder from fireworks went straight to her nose, she leaned on the window with her hands around her arms, and looked at the streets on both sides of the lake with dark eyes.

The team of the return of the great cause is going to pass by the late spring, the mighty team, the long line of dowries will block the entire street, and there is a team to send relatives behind him, the family is arranged by the prince, and it is poor Yan Zheng casual, one is also for the great cause to see the importance of Beili to this princess, and to shoot a three-grade member to send off, but also to give face to the great cause.

"Don't worry, people who are destined will meet again." Ruan Mingjiao patted Song Xing's shoulder, which was also what she said that night.

In addition to the forbidden army and several attendants of the Ministry of Rites, Yan Zheng took the lead, and Wei Qian, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites on the side, was two steps behind him, and he was quite touched by the fireworks in the sky, so he talked to Yan Zheng.

"I didn't expect Your Majesty to send Lord Yan here, and the Sanpin Master really attaches great importance to this marriage!"

After he finished speaking, his cloudy gaze fell on Yan Zheng, and his voice fell on the water's edge without a response, Wei Qian's face was a little stiff with a smile, but he didn't dare to show dissatisfaction.

"Beili and Daye are originally intersecting countries, and Your Majesty should attach importance to them, and today if it is not this official, he will send others." Yan Zheng looked at the sky full of stars, his deep eyes were reflected like a bright galaxy, and Junlang's face was not shocked, but he seemed to remember what someone had said.

"Is it the stability that comes at the expense of women?"

"A marriage can really tie up a strange heart."

Somehow, he didn't answer that night, Ruan Mingjiao's frustrated, flushed and slightly drunk look fell straight into his eyes, he was a little weak-hearted, making him a little suspicious that her marriage to Yan Shi'an was really her original intention, or a sacrifice made to consolidate His Majesty's position.

"County lord, county lord, this is the second princess who sent the villain to transfer the two."

Ruan Mingjiao and Song Xing didn't know how to eat, Song Xing wanted to drink, Ruan Mingjiao accompanied him, but after a few drinks, there was a sound outside.

A maid in a blue palace costume walked with her head down, followed by a maid in the same costume, Ruan Mingjiao recognized them, who had served in Xiao Ruohan's palace before.

"The princess got married tonight, why did you leave the palace?"

The servant girl who spoke looked up, and said with tears in her eyes: "If you go back to the county lord, the princess invited the slaves and maids out of the palace before leaving, saying that they don't have to be trapped in the palace in the future, and go out to find their own life." ”

Ruan Mingjiao was stunned for a moment, Xiao Ruohan was kind and humble, even if her subordinates did something wrong, she was harshly reprimanded, and now that she is married far away, she doesn't know how long it will be, she actually let her subordinates go free, she was inexplicably sour in her heart, but there was a smile on her face, "I know, put things down and leave, live a good life in the future, and don't feel sorry for yourself." ”

"Yes, Lord Xie."

The maid behind her put down her things and bowed to Ruan Mingjiao and Song Xing again, "The slave maid said goodbye." ”

Ruan Mingjiao turned her back and beckoned to stop looking at them.

Song Xing was a little drunk, picked up one of the brocade boxes, opened it and saw that it was a night pearl and several boxes of his dowry had been sent back to the Boyang Marquis Mansion, saying that it was as a wedding gift for her, in the past, Song Xing always joked that he wanted to pick stars, Xiao Ruohan always laughed at her for being stupid, but now he personally picked the stars for her.

Song Xing closed the lid, poured himself wine, and poured it down, but tears couldn't stop falling from his cheeks.

Xiao Ruohan gave Ruan Mingjiao the deed of several shops and a letter.

"Gillian, I'm leaving, I'm afraid I'll never see each other again in this life, before leaving, I originally wanted to say goodbye to you and Song Xing, but I'm afraid I can't help it, I'm reluctant, so I'll write it in the letter." Although you have a cold temperament, you are not as domineering as others, but you are very good to those close to you, I know that your marriage with the Yan family is the father's favor, and the father treats you well, you make a look that he has to do in order to repay the favor, but you really like Yan Shi'an, your kind of temperament should not be trapped in this storm, you should be free. ”

"I never cared about this, and I never defended you a few words, but I thought it was still me who was selfish and didn't want to think deeply, until my father told me that it was time to dedicate myself to the people of Beili as a princess, and I didn't know how you felt. Gillian, I hope you won't blame me, those shops will be regarded as a little compensation for you by me, and you can dispose of them, but I only hope that you can only be yourself and be happier in the future. ”

Xiao Ruohan.

The team of relatives entered the border of Bianyang and had to turn back, but it rained heavily in Bianyang, and it was delayed for two days on the way back and forth, and the original seven-day journey did not return to Beijing until the last nine days.

Yan Zheng entered Beijing overnight to resume his life, under the moonlight, the palace was silent, only the palace road was patrolled by the forbidden army, and the chamberlain hurriedly walked by.

In the imperial study, the candle flame is bright, the candle wick is swaying and flashing with a dim streamer, after the emperor Xiao Qiwei and the dragon case, there are only a few palace maids on duty in the palace, Xiao Qi raised his eyes and looked at Yan Zheng, he entered the palace overnight, his body was stained with cold, and his narrow eyelashes were stained with dew, and the whole person stood solemnly, hidden in a wide black robe.

"Something happened on the way." Xiao Qi opened his mouth, not a question, but an affirmation.

Yan Zheng was stunned in his heart, and his face was not obvious, "When I came, I was robbed, and Lord Wei, the servant of the ministry, was injured a little." It's not a big deal, it's a dereliction of duty, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

The hall was silent for a while, and without an order, Yan Zheng bowed his head.

"That's it, after all, it wasn't an accident on the way to send off relatives, fortunately, nothing went wrong in this family business, you worked hard all the way, and you will retreat after going to the prince."

After a while, Xiao Qi groaned, there were still unfinished folds on the table, but Xiao Qi was already tired.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yan Zheng swept his eyes, only thanked him and turned to retreat.

After he left, Cao Wang came in to add oil lamps, inadvertently glanced outside the main hall, and pondered: "Your Majesty, according to what you think Lord Yan said is true or false?" ”

Xiao Qi leaned on the dragon chair, rubbed his eyebrows lightly with one hand on his forehead, heard him ask, his eyes opened and swept him, and then looked outside the hall: "Yan Zheng has always had a knot in his heart, when Meng Heng died in Bianyang, he was not the only one who felt strange, and there were always people in the court who wanted to investigate thoroughly, but the more they investigated, the farther away they were from the truth, as if something was in the way." ”

He sighed and said: "If Yan Zheng can really find any clues, let him, if there is really someone who collaborates with the enemy and treason and kills the loyal minister, I will not tolerate it!" ”

These words echoed in the main hall and did not disperse for a long time.

In the prince's bedroom, the candle flame was flickering, the imperial doctor Jiang Qi took the knife and took it after the candle fire, Yan Zheng had already taken off his shirt, his bare upper body, his thick arms were propped up on his legs, his bronzed skin was shining with a faint light, his hard face was already oozing a layer of fine sweat at the moment, and there was a strip of cloth wrapped around his left chest, and the person who couldn't live the strip of cloth was oozing blood.

"My lord, you have to bear with it a little, the wound is already infected, and if you don't cut off the bad meat, I'm afraid it will only aggravate the injury." Jiang Qi took off the strip of cloth that he had temporarily bandaged the wound, the wound was like a finger-long scar, the flesh was turned out, and the surrounding skin seemed to be necrotic.

"Less nonsense, come on!" Yan Zhengzheng bit the gauze handed by Jiang Qi, closed his eyes and looked like he was at your disposal.

Jiang Qi didn't talk nonsense, picked up the knife that had been poisoned by fire and approached his wound, picked up a piece of bosom meat and tossed it off, threw it into the tray on the side, turned his head to look at Yan Zheng, his eyes were still closed, and the fist on his leg trembled.

When the moon passed in the sky, Xiao Yi sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard in a blink of an eye, his face was clear, his eyebrows and eyes were like distant mountains, and he couldn't be climbed, the door behind him was opened, Jiang Qi hurriedly came over with a medicine box and bowed: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has finished dealing with the adult's injury, and with the medicinal soup you are taking, it will be fine if you change the medicine a few times." ”

Xiao Yi bowed, "You work hard." ”

"Don't dare, it's the duty of a minister to share worries for His Highness." Jiang Qi bowed again, and then followed Lin Wu to retreat.
