"This is a place of retreat for Qing Xiu when my father was still alive, and I sincerely invite His Royal Highness to stay here for a while to avoid being entangled in mundane affairs. Shi Yuanzhou replied with a smile.

Zhuang Mengdie understood, got out of bed calmly, and put on a new dress prepared at the head of the bed.

"Is this what the eldest sister meant, or is it the idea of King Tianxuan?" Zhuang Mengdie asked flatly.

"Our Highness is arrogant, so he naturally disdains to use this method. Shi Yuanzhou replied with a smile.

"Is it really King Tianxuan......" Zhuang Mengdie thought for a moment, and a trace of confusion surged in her mouth: "Even if you abandon me to the palace, it will be the same as house arrest, why bother?"

Shi Yuanzhou put down the half-read book, picked up the boiling spring water on the stove with a smile on his face, prepared the tea, and said slowly: "King Tianxuan is naturally preventing His Royal Highness from being found. ”

Zhuang Mengdie was even more puzzled when she heard this, and said lightly: "I am a third highness with a name, no lord, no official, no power and no power, who will bother to find me? And who will I benefit to?"

This time, Shi Yuanzhou no longer answered, but his smile deepened, and then half-jokingly changed the topic: "This is the new tea that Yuanzhou quietly took from his uncle, and my uncle cherishes it very much, I wonder if His Royal Highness will appreciate his face and taste this stolen tea with Yuanzhou?"

When Zhuang Mengdie saw that Yuan Zhou changed the topic, he knew that it was useless to ask too much, so he simply smiled lightly, sat down at the table, and quipped: "It is naturally worth the expectation of His Highness that Yuan Zhou can bring it quietly." ”

......

Although the days in the mountains are not as rich as those in the palace, Yuanzhou takes care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Zhuang Mengdie is still doing well. Although she wanted to know how long she would be trapped here, she also knew that Yuan Zhou was ordered by King Tianxuan, and she couldn't ask.

What's more, last time, it was she Zhuang Mengdie who owed the Shi family, and she could no longer affect the status of the Shi family in the court because of her own selfishness.

Moreover, now, whether she can leave this place of seclusion, what is the difference, she has no second emperor brother, no non-fish, if she can really see it thoroughly, in this secluded mountain courtyard for this life, there is not necessarily anything bad.

If there is really anything reluctant, then there is indeed one, that is the good memory of the entire palace, as well as Gu Wanli and non-attachment. I don't know what Gu Wanli will be anxious about after learning the news of her sudden disappearance, but at the moment, she has no way to get in touch with the outside world.

Time flew by like this, and more than half a month passed in a flash.

One day, playing against Shi Yuanzhou, a carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew towards Shi Yuanzhou, Zhuang Mengdie quietly observed Shi Yuanzhou, only to see Shi Yuanzhou carefully read the secret letter brought by the carrier pigeon, and then looked a little nervous.

"What's wrong, but what happened in the palace?" Zhuang Mengdie pretended to ask casually, but her heartbeat was already a little out of control.

Shi Yuanzhou didn't answer Zhuang Mengdie's question directly, but forced a smile and asked instead, "What kind of dishes do Your Highnesses want to eat tonight?"

Zhuang Mengdie saw that he had no intention of answering, and was inevitably irritable, and said angrily: "I want to eat crispy fish pieces, steamed scallops, braised pork ribs, lotus root flour balls tonight......"

Zhuang Mengdie reported more than a dozen dish names at once, Shi Yuanzhou just smiled, didn't say anything, and went directly into the kitchen.

Because there are only two people in this small courtyard in the mountains, Zhuang Mengdie and Shi Yuanzhou, these days after getting along, the two of them are still very familiar, and Shi Yuanzhou's temperament is also very pleasing to Zhuang Mengdie, so the two of them occasionally laugh and laugh.

Just like just now, if Zhuang Mengdie reported so many names of dishes at once on weekdays, Shi Yuanzhou would be too busy to be alone, so he would inevitably have to quarrel with Zhuang Mengdie, but today he was unusual, and he entered the kitchen without saying anything, which also shows that there is indeed something on the letter that makes him laugh unintentionally.

There must be something wrong with the palace!

The more Zhuang Mengdie thought about it, the more uneasy she became, for some reason, she always felt inexplicably that the content on the secret letter was related to Zhuang Feiyu.

Zhuang Feiyu and Zhuang Fuyao are both the bloodlines of the Zhuang royal family, since Zhuang Fuyao can't watch Tianxuan's country fall into the hands of others, and would rather marry into the palace as a princess than let it go, what about Zhuang Feiyu?

Zhuang Feiyu didn't seem to like the struggle for power on the surface, but Zhuang Mengdie knew that he was not, and with Zhuang Feiyu's means, he could do what he wanted. Zhuang Mengdie has not forgotten how Zhuang Feiyu quietly cleared the obstacles for her little by little.

Zhuang Mengdie knows better than anyone that Zhuang Feiyu seems to be powerless, but he gave all this to her Zhuang Mengdie before. For the sake of her ambition, for her joy, he hid his ambition, willingly opened the way for her, and did everything for her.

And now, without her Zhuang Mengdie, the biggest obstacle, there is nothing that can distract him, so what will he Zhuang Feiyu do......

Zhuang Fuyao's current strength Zhuang Mengdie has seen it, but all this Zhuang Feiyu does not know, so if Zhuang Feiyu and Zhuang Fuyao have the same goal, there will inevitably be a battle between the two of them, which is what Zhuang Mengdie never wants to see.

On the one hand, there is the person she misses, and on the other hand, she is ashamed of her eldest sister, these two people, Zhuang Mengdie does not want to see anyone hurt.

Absentmindedly having dinner, Zhuang Mengdie and Shi Yuanzhou were unusually silent, and no one spoke. After dinner, Shi Yuanzhou cleaned up and went back to the house to read by himself. Zhuang Mengdie had something in her heart, and she also went back to her bedroom in silence.

In the past, there was always a small mountain courtyard with laughter and laughter after dinner, but today it is unusually quiet. Zhuang Mengdie lay quietly on the side of the bed and looked at the bright Milky Way outside the window, and her thoughts tumbled, turning over and over until the sky was overshadowed, and she was able to fall asleep.

I don't know how long it took, in my sleep, a warm hand gently stroked my cheek, full of love and pity to stroke the hair of my ears and temples, a little itchy, but infinitely warm and reassuring.

Zhuang Mengdie opened her eyes in a daze, and a woman with a beautiful appearance and a bit of heroism sat on the edge of the bed, her face did not have too many expressions, those eyes were still deep, she just stared at Zhuang Mengdie who was still asleep.

After Zhuang Mengdie saw the person who came, she sat up suddenly, and shouted in surprise and joy: "Sister Emperor!"

Zhuang Fuyao nodded slightly, Zhuang Mengdie could no longer restrain the excitement in her heart, hugged her all of a sudden, and explained urgently: "I'm sorry! Sister Emperor, I will lose you at that time! I will use Yuanzhou's news to threaten you to save me from prison, I'm sorry! Please forgive me!"
