The lead clouds are low, the snow falls into the sky, and the thousands of miles of jade luan 1 fly between the sky and the earth, weaving into an endless snow curtain.

Two carriages galloped along the long and wide palace road, on both sides of the palace road, the pines and cypresses stood proudly, and the green treetops were covered with a layer of snow-white high crowns. The cold wind was bleak, and the Qiong branches shook gently, spilling jade sand on the ground2, and in a short time, the rolling marks left by the ruts on the snow were covered.

In the carriage, Luo Huaizhou had changed into clean clothes and was sitting with Shi Manzi, the two of them had their own concerns, and they were silent all the way.

Luo Huaizhou secretly glanced at Shi Manzi, and saw that she was ethereal, and then retracted his gaze, stretched out his hand to lift a corner of the curtain, and looked at the towering palace wall extending to the end of the road, and his heart was stunned.

A red wall more than a foot high, as if the inside and outside are separated into two worlds, and people outside are scrambling to squeeze in, but they don't know that this high-sounding palace wall is like a cold pool abyss, making it difficult for people to breathe.

Everyone in the world said that he was uninhibited and never involved in the affairs of the temple, thinking that he did not really see the black and white game in the court, but in fact, he had already seen many things. But whether it is the overthrow of the imperial power or the overthrow of the powerful, he just wants to be a spectator and does not want to get involved.

Power is like a besieged city, nourishing desires, besieging the original heart, some people sit on the sound of dogs and horses, some people are obsessed with stirring up the storm, some people obsessively reject dissidents, some people become invincible, and some people just want to cross the high wall like a wild goose to find a vast world of their own.

If you can live a chic and comfortable life, why bother to spend all your time in order to finally return to the authority of Mo Shangchen, trap yourself in it, and cannot be freed?

Thinking of this, a wry smile overflowed the corners of his mouth, Luo Huaizhou put down the car curtain and gently closed his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, the carriage shook suddenly, and when he was caught off guard, Luo Huaizhou's body was crooked, and he almost hit Shi Manzi, who was also overturned.

He hurriedly supported Shi Manzi, and after the two of them sat down, he asked outside the car, "What's the matter?" ”

"Lord Wang, it's—"

As soon as the coachman began to speak, he was cut off by a calm and powerful voice.

"Subordinate Xuanji Lou Ziyu, see Prince Lu."

"Ziyu?" Luo Huaizhou and Shi Manzi glanced at each other, a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes, and then they seemed to think of something, and they opened the door curtain and jumped straight out of the carriage.

Luo Huaizhou stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but he didn't realize it, and after standing firmly, he asked Ziyu anxiously: "But what happened to your son-in-law?" Or did his injuries worsen? ”

Ziyu saw that his face was tired, but his eyes were full of concern and worry for his master, and he couldn't help but have a trace of respect in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Wang, rest assured, the master's injury is no longer serious, and his subordinates came here to inform the prince of this matter on the orders of the master, so as not to worry about you." ”

"Jing Qian is okay?" Luo Huaizhou was stunned for a moment, then his expression was happy, and his eyes suddenly lit up, but in an instant, the bottom of his clear eyes was replaced by a touch of doubt, "No, I saw bloody wounds all over his body with my own eyes, how could he be okay if he was so seriously injured?" ”

Luo Huaizhou's thoughts turned sharply, as if he understood something, and suddenly frowned and asked, "Is he worried that I will feel guilty and blame, so he asked you to tell me this, wanting me to feel at ease?" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the carriage behind him, couldn't help clenching his fists, and said categorically: "Don't worry, I brought a cart of imperial doctors out of the palace this time, no matter what, I will cure Jingqian!" ”

When Ziyu heard him say this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. The master guessed correctly, Prince Lu would really bring the imperial doctor to treat him, so he let himself wait outside the palace gate, just to stop Prince Lu. The master's injury has aggravated the old disease, and it is really not appropriate to take some medicine that can temporarily restore the pulse.

"The prince is too worried, Ziyu doesn't dare to deceive the prince." Ziyu bowed to him and explained sincerely, "Although the master has suffered many external injuries, fortunately, he has not injured his muscles and bones, and there is no danger of his life. ”

Luo Huaizhou glanced at Ziyu with a little suspicion, why did he always feel that this Ziyu was deliberately coming to stop him? However, when he thought that Ziyu had always been loyal to Su Jingqian, he quickly dispelled this doubt, and said instead: "Since they have all come out, then let the imperial doctor take a look at Jingqian, so that I can rest assured." ”

Although Ziyu was very grateful to Luo Huaizhou for his care and care for his master, he still moved out of the words prepared by Su Jingqian in advance without changing his face, and said without hesitation: "The master said that if the prince really thinks about him, he should let him recuperate for a few days at this time. ”

As soon as these words came out, Luo Huaizhou was really silent. "Tell the truth", of course he understood what he meant, didn't his queen mother summon Xiao Yuewan into the palace to torture her because he came out for Xiao Yuewan that day? He could never have imagined that one day his care and protection for his friends would bring trouble to them.

Thinking of this, Luo Huaizhou felt mixed feelings in his heart, he sighed softly, and said to Ziyu: "Okay, then I will wait for him in the house, if he has any needs, just come to me." ”

Ziyu bowed deeply to Luo Huaizhou, "Ziyu is the master, thank Prince Lu." ”

After Ziyu left, Luo Huaizhou walked to the carriage at the back, explained the situation to several imperial doctors, and ordered someone to drive the car back to the palace, and he got into the previous carriage.

As soon as he entered the carriage, he saw Shi Manzi handing over a cup of hot tea, and said with a light smile: "Lord Wang, it's cold outside, let's drink hot tea to warm up first." ”

Luo Huaizhou nodded, stretched out his hand to take the teacup and took a sip, the warm tea ran down his throat, and immediately warmed his heart and lungs. He smiled gratefully at Shi Manzi and said sincerely: "Miss Shi, thank you for going to the palace today to relieve Yuewan, now Jing Qian's injuries are no longer in trouble, let's not bother them today, I'll send you back to the house first." ”

Shi Manzi bowed slightly, "I heard it just now, the prince must not have closed his eyes this day, so let's go back to the house and rest early." But—"

Shi Manzi's words changed, and the smile in his apricot eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly had a more awe-inspiring color, "The prince has a wrong saying, Yuewan is my friend, my friend is in trouble, I am duty-bound, why do I need to say thanks?" ”

Luo Huaizhou looked at Shi Manzi's expression, and was slightly surprised. I still remember that when I first met, the daughter of the official was still a submissive and cautious appearance, but now it has become a little different, although it still looks gentle and dignified, but it seems to be a little less restrained and twisted, but it gives people a feeling of softness but not weakness.

Just as Luo Huaizhou was thinking about it, he heard Shi Manzi say again: "As for the side matters, the prince doesn't have to worry too much and blame himself, as Yuewan said, everything in the world is variable, everyone has their own choice, how can the prince control the words and deeds of others?" So the whole thing has nothing to do with the prince. ”

When Luo Huaizhou heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and finally smiled: "Miss Shi's words are very beautiful, which really makes me suddenly enlightened, but I didn't expect Miss Shi to be so eloquent." ”

After that, he tilted his head to look at her, his eyes were as clear and clear as a mountain spring, overflowing with smile and gratitude, "Thank you, Shi Manzi." ”

The voice fell, but seeing the slightest brilliance flashing in Shi Manzi's eyes, he didn't know whether it was surprise or panic.

Shi Manzi looked at Luo Huaizhou in a daze, his heart was pounding, this was the first time Luo Huaizhou called her by her name, and it also meant that from this moment on, he had regarded her as a real friend. At this moment, all the frustration and loss in Shi Manzi's heart have been left behind by her.

Perhaps, the time is not over, and the coming day is still expected.
