On that day, Shen Yan stayed in the Xianqing Palace for a long time. After he left, Xia Hou sat on the edge of the bed and pondered for a long time.

When many people in the court heard that the Seventh Prince had returned, they praised and congratulated him, and said that they would set up a banquet to celebrate. Shen Yan was angry and excused himself one by one, and in the end, he was really annoyed, and no matter what etiquette identity, he blasted out of the Seven Kings' Mansion.

"The third brother is still defending against the enemy in the border city, these old bastards know how to make a fuss, it's really annoying!"

Shen Yan changed his clothes, and his face was full of impatience. After a short rest, he walked out of the house. The maidservant who served him to change his clothes looked at the weather outside, and couldn't help but say, "Now that the sky is getting dark, it's time for dinner." Is the Seventh Prince going out now?"

"Hmm. Shen Yan nodded, and when he thought of someone, his frowning brows instantly relaxed. "I'll go to the third brother's house for a walk, and I probably won't come back for dinner, and you don't have to bother with it. ”

The little maid opened her mouth when she heard this, looking like she wanted to say something. When Shen Yan saw it, he smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

"Uh......" The little maid bit her lip and opened her mouth anyway. "Forgive the slave and the maid for talking too much, the third prince has now gone to the border city to quell the chaos, what is the seventh prince going to the Three Princes' Mansion for?"

"Hah!"

Shen Yan was happy, and he didn't hide it. "Go and see that girl Mu Yan! Haven't you seen her too? My third brother's daughter-in-law is the girl I brought back last time. I made a promise to her that I would let her see me riding a horse in the future. ”

The little maid's heart suddenly changed, and her face changed. Shen Yan raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?" Do you think that the third brother is not in the house, and it is inappropriate for me to go over now? Hey, it's okay, it's okay, your seventh master, I have always been an unruly and dissolute person. ”

The little maid frowned, but remained silent. Shen Yan raised his eyebrows and guessed. "Do you mean...... Do you think it might be better if I went in armor?"

The little maid wailed in her heart, hesitated again and again, but still couldn't help but speak.

"I heard that when the third prince returned to Beijing a few days ago...... Just, it was a man who came back. ”

The smile on Shen Yan's face narrowed, even in Erque, he could hear that something was wrong with these words.

"What do you mean?"

"That's it, literally. ”

The little maid knew that Shen Yan, the master, had a good temper and treated his subordinates well. But she had seen with her own eyes how much Shen Yan cared about Mu Yan. So at this moment, she was also afraid, and knelt in front of him with a bang.

The third prince took the three princesses out together, although the matter is confidential, but there is no impermeable wall in this world. It didn't take long for everyone to know about it, and they were all talking about how much the third prince loved this princess. But a few days ago, when the third prince returned to Beijing, the carriage stopped in front of his mansion, and the third prince walked down from the car alone. ”

Shen Yan's face was covered with frost, and listening to the description of the maid in front of him, he suddenly became angry with a touch of ominous premonition in his heart. But in the border city before, he asked the third brother personally. The third brother said, Mu Yan is very good.

"How can you always know the every move of the third prince and the third princess? Maybe Mu Yan will go home first, and you can only see the third brother getting out of the car alone. ”

The little maid opened her mouth, and when she saw that Shen Yan's face was wrong, she didn't dare to say anything. The Seventh Prince has just returned, so I don't know. The Three Kings' Mansion has long since changed. First, the daughter of the Feng family was sent back to her parents' house by a letter of resignation, and then I heard that the young lady of the Fang family also moved to live in another courtyard. If something hadn't happened to the third princess, would the third prince have made such a big move as soon as he came back?

"If the person is not there, I'll see it!"

Shen Yan flicked his sleeves, turned around and left the house. The little maid looked at his panicked back when he left, and couldn't help praying secretly in her heart. If it was really an empty rumor, they didn't want anything to happen to that beautiful and kind-hearted girl. But if it's true, the Seventh Prince, he...... But what should I do?

Shen Yan rode his horse and galloped all the way to the gate of King Rui's mansion, and before it was dark, the two guards guarding the door had already begun to nap. If this was in normal times, Shen Yan would definitely not say anything. But today he was upset, or to prove something, Leng Buding kicked him alone.

The two guards were kicked awake, wiped the saliva from the corners of their mouths, and when they looked at the people, they immediately bent down respectfully and saluted.

"Seven, the seventh prince is back. ”

"What time is it now, you already have this kind of virtue? Have you forgotten your duties? The third brother is not in the house, but there are all female dependents here! Don't you guard this gate well, and let the bad guys break in, can you afford the consequences?"

The two guards looked at each other and opened their mouths to refute something, but when they saw that today's Seventh Prince's face was not very good, they closed their mouths quite tacitly, and nodded their heads again and again.

Shen Yan snorted coldly, glared at the two of them, and then prepared to go to the mansion. Seeing this, the two guards stretched out their hands to stop him, and one of them said stubbornly: "Eh, the third prince is not in the mansion, who are the seventh and seventh princes looking for?"

Shen Yan's eyes lit up, and the two guards immediately shrank their necks.

"Master, when will I come to this Ruiwang Mansion, and I still need to inform you in advance?"

"No, no, no, that's not what my subordinates meant!"

The two guards waved their hands and shook their heads in a panic, and the guard who had just asked hurriedly explained: "The Seventh Prince has misunderstood! It may be that you were not in the stable a few days ago, so I am afraid that there are some things that you don't know yet." Hey, now this Ruiwang Mansion is basically empty. ”

"What do you mean?

As if confirming the words of the little maidservant, Shen Yan's heart became more and more confused, and even the tone of his voice began to be a little angry. The two guards looked at each other and secretly complained in their hearts. In the end, the guard just now stammered: "Return, return to the words of the Seventh Prince." After the third prince came back a few days ago, he gave Feng Xiaozhu a letter of resignation, telling her to go back to Feng's house without coming back, and all her luggage was moved. And Fang Xiaozhu didn't know what was going on, so he suddenly changed his temperament and moved to the side courtyard to eat fasting and chanting Buddha, and basically didn't leave the courtyard. ”

After saying these words, the guard glanced up at Shen Yan, and saw that he was just frowning and didn't react, so he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and he knew it very well in his heart.

"As for the three princesses...... We don't know, anyway, the third prince came back alone, and although we were curious, no one dared to ask. Now this palace is an empty shell. What you just taught us is that we have forgotten our duties, but we are actually panicked. There is no one for us to protect this huge mansion. Hey, it's a bit bleak to think about. ”
