At night, the people in the prince's mansion fell asleep quietly, and only those who were on duty at night carried lanterns back and forth.

On the day Rong Zhan returned to the court, it really caused a lot of turmoil in the court, and I heard that Gao Bingyan and Xiao Rongshen were in trouble together in the court, saying that the mineral deposits were spiritual objects given by God and were the root of the essence of heaven and earth. Although mining can increase the tax revenue of the imperial court for a while, it will inevitably move the dragon vein of the imperial court for a long time.

The national policy of mining in Donglin Prefecture was personally set by the emperor Chrysostom, and the courtiers did not have much reaction in the past. Today, I don't know why, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, together with Gao Bingyan, asked the emperor to close the mine.

In the evening, Rong Zhan didn't eat anything, only drank a bowl of soothing soup, and lay down early.

Yuan Xi accompanied him for a while, then put down the curtain and went to Lan Yu's room.

Mother Zhong had already changed into clean clothes for Lan Yu, prepared some toiletries, and found a down-to-earth maid in the house, Qingxue, to follow, and prepared to send Lan Yu out of the city tonight.

During the day, someone from Dali Temple came and took away Xin'er, and there has been no movement until now, and eighty percent of them have been deceived. Without further ado, Qin Shun hugged Lan Yu and sent her to the carriage in the backyard, and Yuan Xi and Mother Zhong got into the carriage together. In the city defense, Qin Shun had already made arrangements that no one would intercept the car to ensure that Yuan Xi could send Lan Yuping out of the city safely.

Won-hee boarded the carriage and always felt as if he hadn't done anything, but he couldn't remember it. It's just that if you can't think of it, it shouldn't be an important thing.

The car drove on the empty road for a while, and Mother Zhong suddenly said: "Today is quite smooth, I thought that Concubine Zhao would come out and say a few cool words." ”

Yuan Xi glanced at Zhong's mother, yes, the thing she couldn't remember was this. Speaking of which, it seems that I haven't paid attention to Zhao Kezhen all day. She didn't come to say goodbye, and when she heard Yan'er, she seemed to be sick.

Yuan Xi looked down at Lan Yu, Lan Yu stared at Yuan Xi with a pair of big eyes: "Sister, can we really go?"

"Yes. Won-hee replied softly.

Mother Zhong glanced at Qingxue and said, "Be careful on the road, Miss Lan is not in good health, you should be careful, don't neglect Miss Lan." ”

Qingxue responded: "Mother Zhong, don't worry." ”

Mother Zhong looked at Lan Yu and was a little embarrassed: "I'm really sorry, Miss Lan, it's not easy to walk on the road, I'm afraid that there will be many people who will make people suspicious, so I only asked Qingxue to serve alone." Don't worry, Qingxue, this girl is careful and patient, one top ten. ”

Lan Yu smiled: "Mother Zhong, Sister Qingxue has taken care of me these days, and we have long been familiar with each other." ”

Yuan Xi gently lifted the curtain of the car and saw that the night was like water, and when the lights of thousands of homes were on, Lan Yu was going to resolutely leave this homeland that had grown for more than ten years and go to another country.

"When you get there, if you don't get used to it, just ask Qingxue to write to me, and my sister will find a way to change your place to live. ”

Lan Yu looked at Yuan Xi gently, and two tears suddenly crossed her eyes: "Sister, thank you." ”

Yuan Xi shook his head: "Yu'er, if you don't hate me, my sister is already very happy in her heart." The only thing my sister can do for you now is to try her best to make it up to you. The emperor's will, out of the New Year's pass, will behead the Lan family, I know you are worried about your mother, I will do my best to see if I can help your mother reduce the responsibility. ”

Lan Yu's throat was a little choked, and she couldn't speak for a long time, but she called out to her sister with teary eyes.

This sister screamed that Yuanxi's heart was sour, she thought of Ling'er in her previous life, and thought of herself in her previous life, the same helplessness, the same loneliness. Yuan Xi turned his head, quietly wiped away his tears, and smiled reluctantly: "You close your eyes and sleep for a while." ”

Lan Yu closed her eyes and slept quietly in Mother Zhong's arms, her well-defined eyelashes were slightly upturned, and although her face was pale, she still couldn't hide her pretty appearance. Mother Zhong hugged Lanyu and closed her eyes peacefully, and Qingxue leaned on the wall of the car and took a nap. Yuan Xi looked at Lan Yu, but he couldn't sleep, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her hair.

I remember the first time I saw her in Xiyintang, she was pretty and well-behaved, and she was as smart as a fairy in the sky. Now that it has come to this point, anyone will feel heartache.

In his previous life, Xiao Rongshen once said to himself that in the court, standing in line is a major matter of life and death, once you stand in the wrong team, you will lose everything, and it will affect your relatives and friends. Yuan Xi had never thought about this issue carefully, but when she saw Lan Yu, she suddenly understood that if she hadn't been on the wrong side in her previous life, maybe she wouldn't have ended up like today.

In his previous life, how could he fall in love with Xiao Rongshen? In his previous life, did Rong Zhan ever love himself in the slightest? Yuan Xi closed his eyes and tried his best to recall Rong Zhan's voice and smile in his previous life, but he couldn't remember it at all, as if in his previous life, Rong Zhan was just a name and his husband's opponent.

Yuan Xi sighed, what a mistake.

I don't know how long later, hearing the sound of horses' hooves outside the car window, Wonxi became alert, from experience, there are only a few dozen horses outside. The torch made a snapping sound with the wind, and Won-hee lifted the curtain and asked, "What's going on?"

Qin Shun held the reins and paused slightly: "Look at the color of the clothes, it is a person from the Fourth Master's Mansion." ”

Fourth Master? Yuan Xi sighed in his heart, what is the fourth master doing? An inexplicable panic swept through his heart, Yuan Xi woke up Mother Zhong and Qing Xue, Qing Xue was a little panicked, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

A car and dozens of horses were facing each other for half a cup of tea on the empty street, when suddenly a brass bell was heard. The tall horse with a red color on the side moved slowly in front of the formation, and a man in red clothes and a golden crown sat arrogantly on it.

Qin Shun was a little speechless: "Four, the fourth prince?"

Xiao Rongcheng is known as a tiger general, so naturally he can't deal with Qin Shun's martial arts level. Qin Shun once said that Xiao Rongcheng once fought three strong men by himself, and those three strong men were all powerful people, but they were easily knocked down by him.

Xiao Rongcheng rode on the horse, seeing that no one had spoken to him for a long time, he was a little angry, and pulled out the whip and hit Qin Shun, the whip used by Xiao Rongcheng was six feet long, but he could accurately control the direction of the whip, he only flicked his hand, and the whip crossed Qin Shun's cheek slightly, without touching the falling foot hanging on the car, nor touching the horse's head, it was really exquisite.

Qin Shun screamed, covered his face, and blood slowly gushed out from his fingers.

"You lowly slave won't let me go, this king wants to talk to the crown princess. ”

Qin Shun was beaten, Yuan Xi was a little annoyed, and lifted the curtain: "If the fourth master has anything to say, what are you doing with this posture of dancing knives and sticks?"

Xiao Rongcheng sneered for a while, and raised his hand: "What about Lan Yu, hand her over to this king!"

Yuan Xi lowered his eyelids slightly: "What did the fourth master say? Lanyu has been handed over to Dali Temple, the fourth master wants someone, he should go to Dali Temple, what's the use of intercepting the concubine's car?"

"Nonsense! Lan Yu is obviously still in your hands!" Xiao Rongcheng proudly glanced at Yuan Xi: "Crown Princess, this king knows that you have some skills, but this king is not a vegetarian, Lan Yu is in your car, you don't have to hide it from me." This king does not want to collide with the people of the prince's mansion, as long as you obediently hand over the people, I will never embarrass you. ”

Mother Zhong hugged Lan Yu tightly, covered Lan Yu's ears with both hands, and coaxed softly.

Yuan Xi got out of the car coldly, stood on the car board, and looked at Xiao Rongcheng stubbornly: "The prince is not well-informed, but his tone is not small." Lanyu is in Dali Temple, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to the prison of Dali Temple to take a look. When the prince said this, did he doubt the character of the concubine, or did he suspect that the officials of Dali Temple were playing favoritism and committing fraud?"

Xiao Rongcheng was speechless for a while, a little angry, raised the whip in his hand and pointed at Yuan Xi: "You don't talk nonsense, what about Lan Yu?

"Nope. Won-hee categorically denied it.

"No, impossible!" Xiao Rongcheng turned the horse's head: "I don't sleep in the house in the middle of the night, but I'm in a hurry to get out of the city, what is it if I don't give it away?"

"Sacrifice. Yuan Xi twisted his mouth: "The fourth master doesn't know that the patriarch of my Wei family has just died? The fortune teller said that the concubine in the mansion should recite the South China Sutra three times in front of the tomb of the clan elder before dawn, and the clan elder will be able to enter the fairyland." As the daughter of the Wei Mansion, I naturally want to do my filial piety for the elders. ”

Xiao Rongcheng licked his lips, this nonsense is really impeccable, and he is not qualified to stop it. Xiao Rongcheng was a little depressed, he had already planted a heel in the hands of this woman, he couldn't have returned this time, right? That would be too shameless.

"Who are you fooling?

"I can't hand it over! The concubine's car is here, if the prince is brave enough, he will come up and search, but then again. If the prince can find out people, it's okay, if he can't find it, I want to see how the fourth master can explain to the prince!"

Xiao Rongcheng is excellent in martial arts, but he is simple-minded, and he was choked by Yuan Xisheng. A subordinate next to him leaned over and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, could it be that Concubine Zhao is deceiving us? Maybe this is a series set up by the prince, and he wants you to collide with the princess, so that he has a reason to participate in your play in front of the emperor!"

Xiao Rongcheng hesitated for a while, what he said seemed to have some truth, after all, Dali Temple does not eat dry rice. Zhao Kezhen is still Dali Temple, and Xiao Rongcheng prefers to trust Dali Temple.

One of his subordinates on the right also came up: "Lord, I think it's just the opposite, Concubine Zhao and the crown princess have not been on good terms for a long time, and the crown princess is not guilty of harboring the daughter of a criminal minister, and she just took this opportunity to get rid of the crown princess! ”

Xiao Rongcheng glanced to the right, and felt that what he said made sense. Search or not, it's just a thought, but the result is very different, maybe it's a big victory, grabbing the prince's weakness in one fell swoop, or maybe it's losing all the games, and being stabbed by the prince.

Xiao Rongcheng was a little hesitant, he knew that in this way, he should have discussed it with his eldest brother, and he shouldn't have decided rashly.

"Whether the fourth master is searching or not," Yuan Xi raised his chin slightly: "If you don't search, please ask the fourth master to get out of the way, this concubine is going to sacrifice the clan elder." ”
