Since Lin Wanwan left, Luo Huaizhou has been standing under the eaves of the porch, staring at the heavy eaves covered by hail snow in the distance for a long time, stunned.

Seeing Luo Huaizhou in embarrassment, Shi Manzi couldn't help but feel sad.

She could imagine what kind of twists and turns Luo Huaizhou had gone through before he returned to the palace, and as soon as he came back, he hurriedly asked the palace people about the news of the moon evening, and then went straight to come, not even the queen mother.

Although she knew that he was worried about his friend, and she felt very guilty and guilty in her heart, when she thought of him being so careless at the beginning, and now rushing to see Yuewan in such a hurry, this kind of concern seemed to go beyond the scope of friends.

Shi Manzi suddenly had a feeling of loss in her heart, as if someone had secretly taken something from her heart.

She lied to the Queen Mother before, in fact, Luo Huaizhou never explained to her the dispute with Hua Yanzhi that day, it was Yuewan who was afraid that she would hear some gossip and misunderstand Luo Huaizhou, so she explained the ins and outs of the whole thing to her.

It's a pity that the flowing water is ruthless, and I don't know that the falling flowers are intentional.

But how could she not understand? can make Prince Lu, who has never been close to women, say the words "She is the person I like" in front of everyone, I am afraid it is not groundless, it is very likely to be a secret that has been hidden in my heart for a long time, but because of Su Gongzi, I had to hide my thoughts carefully, and I didn't blurt out until I was in a hurry.

Now that he saw the moon evening going straight to Su Gongzi, he must have been happy for them in his heart, but in addition to blessings, there was also a little bitterness.

Why shouldn't she? knew that Luo Huaizhou would not like herself, but she was still changing for him little by little. He didn't like his own temperament, so she threw away everyone's beautiful style and learned the wanton freedom in Yuewan's temperament; He wanted to explore the rivers and lakes and travel the world, so she tried her best to collect some information about the rivers and lakes and plan the itinerary, hoping that one day, his eyes could stay on herself.

Just as Shi Manzi was wandering, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded not far away, and when she heard the sound, she saw Aunt Pei Rong hurrying towards them with a few imperial doctors.

"Lord Wang!" Pei Rong walked up to the front and called softly.

Her voice trembled a little, and her eyebrows could not hide the look of joy, but there was a faint hint of worry.

When Luo Huaizhou heard the sound, he came back to his senses from his ethereal thoughts, his eyes swept over the wind and snow, and finally landed on Pei Rong's face, and his eyes suddenly became a little warmer.

"Auntie?"

Pei Rong immediately stepped forward and saluted him with a group of imperial doctors: "Slave and maid see the prince." ”

Luo Huaizhou hurriedly picked up Pei Rong, and then waved his hand at the imperial doctors and said, "No courtesy." ”

Pei Rong looked at Luo Huaizhou's ragged clothes and withered face, her eyes turned red, and the bottom of her eyes gradually turned watery, and she couldn't help but feel distressed: "Lord Wang, you have suffered!" ”

Luo Huaizhou knew that Aunt Pei Rong had always regarded her as a close relative, and when she learned that she was in danger, she must have been very worried. Luo Huaizhou couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart, and immediately grinned at her, and coaxed lightly: "It's this king who is not good, so my aunt is worried." ”

"It's good that you can come back safely, and the heart of the slave can finally be put down." Pei Rong was a little relieved when she saw that Luo Huaizhou was okay with talking and laughing freely, and then wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said earnestly, "Since the prince has returned to the palace, he should go to report to the queen mother that he is safe first." ”

When Luo Huaizhou heard this, the smile on his face gradually faded, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

When he thought that the queen mother had tortured Xiao Yuewan, he was like being in a storm, guilt and bitterness like the wind, melancholy and helplessness like rain, they were intertwined and mixed together, and the taste was complex and indescribable.

I heard the palace people say that it was because Xiao Yuewan offended the queen mother that she was punished by the queen mother, but what the truth is, I'm afraid it remains to be discussed, with Xiao Yuewan's style of acting, how can she contradict the queen mother for no reason? He knew his mother too well, and she took advantage of the time when she went out of the city to pray for blessings, and summoned Xiao Yuewan into the palace, but she was afraid that she didn't have any good thoughts from the beginning.

Pei Rong saw Luo Huaizhou's expression in her eyes, and she had roughly understood why he neither went to see the Queen Mother after returning to the palace, nor did he send someone to report safety to the Queen Mother, as early as when the Queen Mother insisted on summoning the Yuewan girl into the palace, she expected such a result.

Pei Rong couldn't help but sigh in her heart, although the Queen Mother sometimes acted a little extremely, which was difficult to disagree, but after all, it was also for the sake of the prince, she just didn't want the prince to be hurt by half of it.

"After the Queen Mother learned that you were kidnapped by gangsters, she couldn't sleep at night, and this morning she was even more bedridden because of excessive worry." Pei Rong persuaded bitterly, "Just now the mother heard the news that you returned to the palace safely, she couldn't help crying with joy, she wanted to come to see you in person, but because of her ill health, she had to let the slave maid bring the imperial doctor to treat you first." ”

After Luo Huaizhou listened, he only closed his eyes, and the melancholy between his eyebrows did not dissipate for half a minute.

Pei Rong understood the troubles and sadness in his heart at the moment, and seeing that he didn't say a word, he turned to the imperial doctor on the side and said, "Please also ask the imperial doctor to take a closer look at the prince to see if it hurts anything." ”

Several imperial doctors were about to invite Luo Huaizhou into the house to check the injury, but Luo Huaizhou raised his hand to stop him: "No need, this king only has some slight abrasions on his body, and it is not a big problem." ”

"Lord Wang......" Pei Rong couldn't help frowning, obviously worried, but seeing Luo Huaizhou's stubborn face, she had to look at Shi Manzi on the side, "Miss Shi......"

Just as she was about to open her mouth to ask Shi Manzi to persuade a few words, she saw Shi Manzi smile gently at herself, and said softly: "Aunt Pei Rong, don't worry, how can the prince lie to you?" If he said that he was healthy, he was really fine. ”

Hearing Shi Manzi's words, Luo Huaizhou couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at her, and then removed the gloom in his eyes, raised his lips at Pei Rong and chuckled: "Auntie, don't worry, this king assures you that this king really has no injuries on his body at all." Now the top priority is to leave the palace as soon as possible to heal Jingqian's injuries. ”

Pei Rong was stunned when she heard this, "Su Gongzi, he ......"

"He was badly wounded."

Luo Huaizhou took a deep breath, the smile on his face faded in an instant, and he instead instructed several imperial doctors: "This time this king was able to get out of danger smoothly, thanks to Jing Qian's sacrifice of his life, but he was also seriously injured, so you need to go out of the palace with this king later to treat the king's benefactor." ”

"Your Ministers obey." The imperial physicians replied in unison.

Although Pei Rong agreed with Luo Huaizhou's approach, when she thought of the Queen Mother's side, she couldn't help but persuade her: "Why don't you let the slave maid prepare a set of clean clothes for the prince, and when the prince reports to the Queen Mother that she is safe, it will not be too late to leave the palace." ”

"No need, after Jingqian is safe, this king will go to see the queen mother."

"But—"

"Auntie." Luo Huaizhou immediately interrupted Pei Rong's words, and immediately smiled gently at her, her eyes were as clear as water, but they revealed an indomitable persistence.

"This king has heard you say since he was a child that a man can be ambitious or informal, but he must dare to take responsibility and do his duty. This matter is because of this king, and whether it is love or responsibility, it should be borne by this king. This king entered the palace this time, one is to pick up the moon and leave the palace at night, and the other is to ask the imperial doctor to go to treat Jing Qian's injuries. ”

When Pei Rong heard this, she was silent for a long time, and finally showed a smile of relief.

Lord, I really grew up.
