Chapter 45: Sister Chu Rou
"His Royal Highness the Prince!" Chu Rou knelt on the ground as she spoke, and at the same time knelt down with the two domestic servants, Chu Rou couldn't hold back her crying, "His Royal Highness the Prince's atonement is all Chu Rou's fault, it has nothing to do with his father, everything is borne by Chu Rou alone." ”
Lang Shao hurriedly helped Chu Rou up: "Sister Chu Rou, what are you talking about, why are you here, you are not injured." Lang Shao said as he checked Chu Rou's body, and was relieved that he didn't see any injuries, and didn't notice Jiayu's worried eyes behind him.
"Do you know her?" "You know her?" she frowned, she should have let Lang Shao hide her face, if the prince was found outside the city, wouldn't the thirteen pretending princes be recognized.
Lang Shao nodded: "Her name is Chu Rou, and she is Prime Minister Zhang's daughter." We grew up together. ”
"Prime Minister Zhang?" "Zhang Chengxiang?" said silently in her heart, could the Zhang Sheng that Qiu Ye married be Zhang Cheng Xiang? Thinking of Qiu Ye, Xi Si carefully looked at Chu Rou's face, and looked a little like Qiu Ye carefully, but soon Yu Si shook her head and pulled Jia Yu towards the carriage, how could there be such a coincidence, she was just about to go to Qiu Ye and saved Qiu Ye's daughter, this is too much of a coincidence.
"Thank you both for saving your life. ”
"No thanks. She didn't reply, so she let Jiayu get into the carriage, "You are also going back to the imperial city?"
Chu Rou nodded and didn't dare to say more, her face was expressionless, giving her the feeling that it was unapproachable, on weekdays, those women would immediately scold themselves when they heard that they were the daughter of the prime minister's family, this woman and the woman with her gave her a feeling of being unapproachable, and the other woman never looked at her.
"Sister Churou, you can go back to the city with us, it seems that your carriage can no longer be used. ”
Chu Rou nodded again and entered the carriage under Lang Shao's care.
The two servants untied the horses from the carriage and followed the carriage on left and right.
Leng Xi and Lang Shao sat in front of the carriage to catch the carriage.
A hand stretched out from the carriage and handed it to Lang Shao: "It's about to enter the city, you think about it for Thirteen and cover your face." ”
Lang Shao took the handkerchief, obviously speaking in the voice of Ji Si, but the name of Jiayu was written on the handkerchief, and the handkerchief was fragrant, Lang Shao unconsciously remembered the dream he had in the sea of forgotten flowers.
"Thirteen, is he really dead?" Chu Rou asked cautiously, a month ago, the prince went to Huchi Town and was attacked by demons, hundreds of his followers died, only the prince came back alone, and Thirteen didn't come back, Chu Rou was about to cry when she thought of this.
Lang Shao took the handkerchief in his hand into his arms, tore off a piece of cloth on his clothes, and covered his face with only his eyes: "Sister Churou, Thirteen is not dead, but I can't tell you where he went for the time being, otherwise he will really die." ”
Pretending to be the prince is a crime of deception, and it will destroy the nine clans, Lang Shao knows the seriousness, so he will cover his face after listening to the words of Yu Si.
"Really! Thirteen, he really didn't die?" Chu Rou became excited, even more excited than she had just been saved.
"He didn't lie to you, Thirteen really didn't die. ”
Only then did Chu Rou notice that Jiayu was speaking, and Jiayu was much gentler than the cold Sister.
"My name is Jiayu, this is my sister Yusi, and it was Brother Lengxi who saved you with my sister just now. Jiayu smiled softly at Chu Rou, and Chu Rou's originally panicked heart began to calm down because of this laugh.
Leng Xi, who was driving the carriage, heard this Brother Leng Xi's body stiffened involuntarily, Jiayu had never taken the initiative to talk to him for so long, and it was the first time she heard the words Brother Leng Xi in her mouth, both the voice and the tone were very similar to when the demon clan's sister Si called him Brother Leng Xi fifteen years ago.
"Sister Chu Rou, you haven't answered me yet, why are you here?"
Lang Shao's voice came from outside, Chu Rou bit her lip and wondered whether to say it or not, Lang Shao only heard a bang, he hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked inside, only to see Chu Rou kneeling in the carriage towards Lang Shao, with her head buried on the ground.
"Chu Rou, what are you doing!"
"Ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to atone for his sins! ”
The carriage gradually stopped, and Lang Shao frowned: "Chu Rou, what happened, you are very unfamiliar with me, you were not like this in the past, you usually call me Brother Prince, why is it different this time, from just now you have called me His Royal Highness the Prince, what is it that you want you to kneel down again and again to ask for atonement." ”
"It's Chu Rou's fault. Chu Rou paused, and finally made up her mind, "It was Chu Rou who didn't want to be the crown princess, so she escaped, and the servants came out to take me back, and I met the bandits, which led to today's incident, causing so many servants to lose their lives." ”
Chu Rou said and cried again, she blamed herself for the thought of so many people losing their lives, and her escape might affect the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
"If you think about the consequences when you escape, you won't be in the current situation!" Lang Shao's voice suddenly became serious, at this moment he was quite kingly, and even Jiayu was a little out of breath when he arrived at that coercion, Chu Rou was startled, and still buried his head.
But soon Lang Shao bowed into the carriage and stretched out his hand to help Chu Rou up, letting Chu Rou sit, and the two sat face to face, Chu Rou stared at her feet, not daring to look directly into Lang Shao's eyes.
After a long time, Lang Shao spoke: "If you don't want to be the crown princess, if you don't do it, why are you running away, if one of your daughters' family is injured outside, the prime minister will be so sad." ”
"The canonization ceremony is imminent, and Chu Rou has to flee. Chu Rou's hand on her knee was clenched tightly, and the resolute expression on her face made her admire, and those who dared to escape the canonization ceremony were also very courageous.
"Canonization ceremony?" Lang Shao, who was still sitting upright, instantly screamed in surprise and got up, his head slammed into the carriage, and he screamed so painfully that he covered his head and sat down, grinning and asking, "What canonization ceremony?"
Jiayu secretly laughed in the corner, and even Jisi smiled.
"Well, three days later. Seeing Lang Shao's reaction, Chu Rou began to be suspicious, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wrong today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been closed since he came back last time, why is he here today, and now he has noticed that the white Liuyun suit worn by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a precious material at all, it does not look like it was made in the palace.
"Who is the crown princess? You? are you my crown princess?"
Lang Shao's unbelievable three questions made Chu Rou ashamed and annoyed, and she raised her fist to make a gesture to fight down, and her cheeks bulged very cutely.
Lang Shao raised his hand to cover it, his fist did not fall for a long time, he tilted his head to look at Chu Rou, and said gently: "This is Chu Rou's sister, but how can the crown princess be you, we are brothers ...... each other."
"Brothers are superfluous, Chu Rou is not a man. ”
"Okay, okay, we're sisters, I'm a woman. ”
Jiayu laughed again, Lang Shao secretly glanced at Jiayu, his heart became happy, and continued: "Chu Rou, I don't know about today's incident, you go home and tell the prime minister, the matter of the crown princess is over, and I will persuade her on my father's side." As for those who have lost their lives to protect you, your Prime Minister's Mansion will be responsible for burying them and settling their families. ”
Lang Shao got up and walked out, and when he was about to walk out, he rubbed Chu Rou's hair, "I don't know you yet, it's interesting to Thirteen, right, it's just that I can't tell you Thirteen's whereabouts yet, and when the time comes, I'll let you meet." ”
Chu Rou blushed, not because Lang Shao rubbed her head, but because Lang Shao mentioned thirteen, Chu Rou nodded shyly, Lang Shao suddenly turned around and said something in Chu Rou's ear, the shyness on Chu Rou's face turned into surprise, staring at the two sisters with wide eyes.
She was stared at so much, she took the sword in her hand and made a posture of drawing the sword out of the sheath, staring at Lang Shao with her eyes slightly closed, there was a clanging sound between the sword and the scabbard, Lang Shao immediately closed her mouth and sat outside to catch the car with Leng Xi.
"Miss Chu Rou, is your mother's name Autumn Leaves?" Yu Si still asked the doubts in her heart, the more Chu Rou's face looked more and more like the appearance of Autumn Leaves she saw in her dreams, especially the big eyes full of aura, when the eyes were full of tears, they looked like Autumn Leaves who were anxious to cry out outside the delivery room.
Chu Rou shook her head suspiciously, she wouldn't know what she wanted to ask her mother, but her mother was indeed not called Qiu Ye: "My mother's name is Ling Xiang." ”
When she heard the word Ling, she was a little concerned, when Autumn Leaf was adopted by her father, she naturally followed her father's surname, but when she heard the word Ling Xiang, she was disappointed, since it was not Autumn Leaves, there was nothing to ask, and she replied coldly, "Oh." ”
"I wonder why Miss Silly asked about her mother?"
"It's nothing, I just think the girl looks like an old man, and that old man's name is Akiba. ”
"Sister, we were just born when Sister Akiba got married, why do you think Miss Chu Rou looks like Sister Akiba. ”
A smile regained on her face and she faced Jiayu, "Because I dreamed of it." ”
It's a little surprising to see the smile of Ji Si Chu Soft, from just now until now, Ji Si has never smiled so gently, and Jia Yu's smile is different, two people who look exactly the same laugh are different feelings, Jia Yu laughs makes people feel very healing, but Ji Si is spoiled when she laughs, or only in front of Jia Yu will have such a smile.
Obviously, Jiayu was not satisfied, and snorted lightly: "My sister still thinks that Jiayu is a three-year-old child, and she is fooling others, it must be because Miss Chu Rou is good-looking, and good-looking people are just as pleasing to the eye." ”
"You little girl turned her elbow out, praising others for coming easily, saying that my sister is like a big hooligan, a big hooligan. Jiayu said and reached out to scratch Jiayu's waist, Jiayu was afraid of itching, and hid back while laughing and screaming.
"Sister, Jiayu is wrong, spare Jiayu. ”
The two of them laughed wildly, laughter came from the carriage, Leng Xi and Lang Shao couldn't help but laugh when they heard it, it was the first time in Huchi Town that they had heard Xi Si laugh so happily for so long.
