When Shui Lian saw Chu Huan, he immediately put on a smiling face. He didn't forget the generous Mr. Fu. When he saw Xue Huai'an and Chu Huan coming in, he hurried forward to greet him: "The miscellaneous family has heard that the two envoys have returned. Guo, I really want to congratulate you two."

Although this Shui Lian is only a eunuch, he is someone close to His Majesty the Emperor. Xue Huai'an did not dare to neglect even if he is the Minister of Rites. Things have changed, I still have to report to the princess!"

Shui Lian was taken aback, and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Chu Huan had already smiled and said, "Eunuch, don't worry, it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing!"

Shui Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "You two adults, wait a moment." He went on his own, and came back after a while, and said softly: "You two adults, come with the miscellaneous family!"

Shui Lian led the two of them through the courtyard and came to a quiet courtyard. When they reached the door, they respectfully said: "Princess, Xue Huaian, Mr. Xue and Chu Huan, Mr. Chu, please see me!"

There was a "hmm" sound from inside the room, but there was not much to say.

Shui Lian turned around and said with a smile: "If you two adults have something to do, you can report it here. It is not convenient for the princess to summon you."

Only then did Xue Huai'an straighten his clothes, took two steps forward, and said respectfully: "My minister, Xue Huai'an, told the princess that there was civil strife in Xiliang, and the troops have been withdrawn. The eldest prince of Xiliang, Maha Zang, is now the regent, handling the affairs of Xiliang. I wanted to welcome Princess Xiliang back, but Maha Zang did not fulfill his promise, and my ministers were incompetent, so they failed to welcome Princess Xiliang back."

When Shui Lian heard this, she looked surprised.

Xue Huai'an hurriedly said: "Although Princess Xiliang failed to marry back, Xiliang soldiers have withdrawn from the northwest, eliminating the threat of Xiliang people to the northwest of our Great Qin. Xiliang broke the contract first, so my Great Qin will not abide by the agreement. , Her Royal Highness does not need to go to Xiliang."

A voice finally came from inside the room: "Really...really?" There was surprise in the tone.

Xue Huai'an said: "Exactly." Then he asked respectfully: "I will lead the mission back to Beijing tomorrow, I wonder if Your Highness the Princess will return to Beijing tomorrow?"

"This...!" A delicate voice came from inside the room: "Everything... Everything is decided by Eunuch Shui."

Xue Huai'an looked at Shui Lian, and Shui Lian hurriedly said: "If Her Royal Highness really does not need to go to Xiliang, it is natural that the sooner you return to Beijing, the better. Mr. Xue, I will make preparations today, and your mission will escort you tomorrow." The princess returns to Beijing."

Xue Huai'an respectfully said: "Good!"

Chu Huan looked at the half-hidden door with a strange expression, and suddenly asked, "The princess is leaving tomorrow, do you need us to prepare anything?"

Xue Huai'an was a little strange, if he really wanted to return to Beijing, what would he need to prepare, Shui Lian could make arrangements at his own discretion, and Chu Huan didn't need to worry about it.

However, he soon realized that Chu Huan has another identity, that is, the father-in-law appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, and it is said that the father-in-law Chu and Princess Jingyun have a good relationship, so it is reasonable for a master to care about his apprentice a little things in.

The princess said in the house: "Then... that will be handled by Mr. Shui...!"

Chu Huan smiled, Xue Huai'an had already bowed into the room and said, "I don't dare to disturb the princess, I will leave first!" Shui Lian led Chu Huan out of the courtyard.

"Princess has been here for more than half a month, are you still used to everything?" Chu Huan asked Shui Lian with a smile.

Shui Lian said with a smile: "It's not as good as compared to the capital, but the old general took good care of this place, and the princess didn't feel any discomfort."

"That's right, Eunuch Shui. When I left Beijing, the last time I saw the princess, the princess's hand was twisted. I wonder if it has recovered?" Chu Huan asked.

"Oh?" Shui Lian was stunned, and quickly smiled: "That one has recovered, and there is no serious problem. Mr. Chu really has a heart."

Chu Huan smiled and nodded, suddenly thought of something, stopped, and patted his head: "Look at my brain, I'm really confused, I have a gift for Her Royal Highness, Her Highness must like it very much, Eunuch Shui, I don't know if I can give it to you." Would you like me to give the gift to the princess?"

Shui Lian said with a smile: "Master Gongfu can give the gift to the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family will definitely pass it on to Her Royal Highness the princess."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Eunuch Shui's gift is actually prepared by Chu, but when I left Beijing, I promised Her Royal Highness to bring her a gift, and I will definitely give it to her... Eunuch, can you give me a gift?" Don't let me break my promise to the princess!"

Shui Lian frowned, showing embarrassment.

Xue Huai'an only regarded this as a private matter, and he also knew that Chu Huan brought back a lot of things from Xiliang, including the princess's gift, which was also reasonable, and said with a smile: "Master Chu, you have a gift to give , I'll go out and wait for you first." Unwilling to get involved, she bowed to Shui Lian and left quickly.

Seeing that Shui Lian didn't speak, Chu Huan had already turned around and walked quickly towards the princess's courtyard. The wind was blowing under his feet, and when Shui Lian realized it, Chu Huan had already moved a distance away.

Shui Lian's face changed color, and he hurried to catch up, but Chu Huan seemed to be walking, but his speed was extremely fast, Shui Lian ran and chased, but couldn't catch up, and said repeatedly: "Chu Gongfu, Master Chu, wait for me!" Wait, princess... the princess has a will, I don't see... I don't see anyone...!"

Chu Huan ignored him, and did not stop until he entered the yard and came to the front of the house, while Shui Lian caught up panting, bent over, gasping for breath: "Chu...Master Chu, what are you doing?" It's walking...the princess is inside, you can't do anything foolish, if you offend the princess, the miscellaneous family won't be able to speak for you."

Chu Huan smiled, looked at Shui Lian, and asked, "Eunuch Shui still remembers that the Holy Majesty appointed me as a father-in-law?"

"This... this is naturally remembered!"

"My lord ordered me to teach the princess martial arts." Chu Huan did not change his face, with a faint smile: "Although I am on an envoy in Xiliang, I have never forgotten the progress of the princess's martial arts. Today I happen to have a gift For the princess, by the way, how about the princess's martial arts training, Eunuch Shui, this should be a reasonable thing, won't it make you too embarrassed?"

Shui Lian said with an embarrassed smile: "Mr. Chu, why bother to wait for a while, and ask after returning to Beijing...!"

"Eunuch Shui...!" Chu Huan put his hands behind his back, elongated his voice, looked around, then leaned close to Shui Lian's ear, with a calm expression: "Princess... is she really in this room?"

Shui Lian was startled, suddenly lost color, and lost her voice: "Chu... Chu Gongfu, what do you mean?"

"Elder-in-law doesn't understand what I mean?" Chu Huan frowned, and said coldly, "Chu thinks that the person talking in this room is not Princess Jingyun!"

Shui Lian took two steps back, her eyes showing panic.

Chu Huan didn't say a word, and already walked towards the house, Shui Lian hurriedly called out: "Chu...Chu Gongfu, don't act recklessly, you offend the princess, you will...beheaded!"

"Then you know that if you fail to protect the princess well, you will lose your head!" Chu Huan turned around and said coldly. He had already reached the door and was about to push the door open. Shui Lian raised his hand and said : "Chu Gongfu, you wait a moment, you... wait a moment!"

Chu Huan had already pressed one hand on the door, and pushed it open, but slowly withdrew his hand, Shui Lian stepped forward, looked around, and then smiled wryly, "Why did Gong Fu assert that there is no princess in the house?"

"The voice inside is indeed very similar to the princess, but the tone is completely different." Chu Huan said: "The tone of the princess's speech is not like this, and... Eunuch Shui, the princess has always called you by your name, it seems that she has never called you before." Your father-in-law?"

Shui Lian was startled, and then realized that Chu Huan concluded that the person in the house was not the princess.

After Chu Huan finished speaking, he pushed the door open and entered the room. After he entered the room, he saw a person in the room screaming, quickly pulled off a pair of scarves next to him, turned his back, and hurriedly covered his head.

Chu Huan looked from behind, the back of the girl inside was really similar to Princess Jingyun, but he was very familiar with Jingyun, as an ordinary person, he might not be able to see it all at once, but Chu Huan had already seen Jingyun from there. Judging from the girl's back, this is definitely not Princess Jingyun.

Shui Lian had already closed the door, stepped forward to Chu Huan's side, and said in a low voice, "Master Gongfu, this matter is extraordinary and must not be disclosed."

"You lost the princess?"

"How...how is this possible." Shui Lian hurriedly said: "The princess was escorted by the miscellaneous family from the capital."

Chu Huan walked over slowly, and when he got to the girl, the girl was trembling all over, looking extremely nervous, Chu Huan sighed, and said, "Take off the scarf, I know you are not a princess, so you don't have to be afraid."

Shui Lian came over and said in a low voice, "Take it down, this is Mr. Chu!"

The girl took off the kerchief with trembling hands, her features were clear, and her features were somewhat similar to that of Princess Jingyun, but this delicate face was pale at the moment, seeing Chu Huan staring at her, she had already lowered her head, not daring to Looking at Chu Huan.

"Eunuch, are you going to marry her to Xiliang?" Chu Huan frowned.

Shui Lian sighed: "Master Gongfu, according to the original plan, it is true that she will marry the princess in Xiliang instead."

"What's your name?" Chu Huan asked the nervous little girl.

"I...my name is Bubu...they all call me Bubu...!" The false princess said pitifully: "They said that when I walk, my steps are very small, one small step at a time, so...so I walk like this... Call me step by step!"

"Step by step?" Chu Huan frowned, looked at Shui Lian, and asked in a low voice, "Eunuch Shui, what's going on? Could it be... Could it be that the imperial court is going to send the fake princess to Xiliang?"

Shui Lian smiled wryly and said: "If it is not a last resort, how can the Holy One break his trust?" He lowered his voice and said, "Fu Chu, Princess Jingyun has disappeared. After your mission left Beijing, it took only about ten days for Princess Jingyun to disappear. The whereabouts are unknown...!"

Chu Huan's heart sank, and she lost her voice: "Princess...the princess is missing? This...how is this possible?"

"It's absolutely true." Shui Lian took Chu Huan's arm and walked aside: "This matter can only be known to you, and it must not be leaked out. After the princess disappeared, the Holy One secretly sent someone to look for it, and used Shen Yiwei to Shenyiwei almost came out in full force, searching everywhere, but there was no whereabouts of the princess, the princess... the princess is like a bird, flying out of the imperial city, and her whereabouts are unknown!"
