The prince stood with his hands behind his hands, and the light cyan color in his eyes became more and more conspicuous on his fair face, "Master Marquis, Prince An is my uncle after all. I must call him back to Lindu this time no matter what.

"It stands to reason that Xia Bing has just retreated and should not make a comeback, but Qingzhou is different after all." The prince turned around with a deep look in his eyes, "You also know that in a few days the enthronement ceremony will be held. At this time, the Qi Kingdom must not have anything turmoil."

Mu Jingyi said respectfully: "I will leave for Qingzhou tomorrow."

"Master Marquis," the prince's voice was a little dry and hoarse, "as soon as Prince An returns to Qingzhou, you will immediately lead troops to rescue my father."

"The minister takes orders!"

The prince looked at him deeply, sighed and said nothing.

Prince An was intelligent and capable in both civil and military affairs since he was a child. He was favored by the late emperor, who had hidden intentions of re-establishing a crown prince.

It's just that Prince An is still young and lacks strong support in the court. Although the prince lacks strategy, he has a good reputation and there is nothing wrong with it. In addition, the late emperor's body is weak and he really cannot withstand the shock in the court. In the end, this matter He also gave up the idea of ​​enfeoffing Prince An to Qingzhou.

Mu Jingyi naturally knew the prince's thoughts and said, "Prince, please rest assured. When I arrive in Qingzhou, I will naturally have to wait until the prince ascends the throne before returning."

The prince said: "It's not that I don't believe my uncle, it's just that the Qi Kingdom has been overwhelmed by this chaos."

"Your Highness, please rest assured. I will leave for Qingzhou today." Mu Jingyi said.

"Well," the prince nodded, "then I will send a letter to Qingzhou immediately and ask my uncle to rush back to Lindu at night."

In the Changping Marquis Mansion, Princess Anjun was wearing a set of jade-colored wide-sleeved gown. She wore no makeup and her delicate face looked a little pale.

"Thanks to you this time, otherwise Zi Chujuan would not have been rescued. In any case, I will never forget the great kindness of you and the Marquis." The princess pushed the box in her hand to Chang Luoyun, " Although this is a bit tacky, it is also my intention, and you must accept it."

Chang Luoyun said with a smile: "Why should the princess be so polite? The one who saved the prince was Dr. Xu. I just happen to know his whereabouts. After all, the prince is lucky."

The princess sighed and said, "This blessing happened to meet you. I originally wanted to come and say thank you a few days ago, but now I have difficulty walking, so my mother went to the palace today before I could come."

Chang Luoyun said: "It will be fine when the new emperor ascends the throne."

Princess Anjun forced a smile, with a bit of sadness in her eyes, "Forget about everything else, it's just my sister." She raised her head, with sadness in her wet eyes, "When I was a child, she always protected her. She protected her, but now that she has grown up, I am unable to protect her."

Chang Luoyun said: "The Queen and Prince Zhou will be together, nothing will happen. Just relax."

"My sister, how could I not know?" Princess Anjun wiped her eyes, "Fortunately, Wei'er is with her, which makes me feel better."

"No more." Princess Anjun smiled, "I came here today. I should have been happy, but you see, I ended up like this instead."

Chang Luoyun smiled slightly and said: "The princess is like this because she values ​​me and is willing to tell me what is in her heart."

Who can say otherwise? These words that are boring in my heart can only be said when I see Chang Luoyun.

Princess Anjun smiled and said, "Although I have known you not long ago, it feels like we have known each other for a long time. I just feel very friendly."

While the two were talking, Mu Jingyi stepped in and was not surprised to see Princess Anjun there.Princess Anjun briefly said a few more words of thanks before saying goodbye and leaving the house.

Chang Luoyun came back from seeing Princess Anjun off. When he saw Mu Jingyi sitting in the room, looking at the embroidery manual she had written on the table, she walked over to him with a smile and said with a smile: "Master Hou, isn't it? Are you busy? I don’t have time to watch these things.”

Mu Jingyi put down the embroidery book in his hand and said with a smile: "Didn't I say to go to Qingzhou yesterday? Let's set off now."

"Are you here first?" Chang Luoyun was a little surprised. "It's now." Mu Jingyi said: "Prince An is coming to Lindu, and the prince asked me to go to Qingzhou."

Chang Luoyun took a breath and said, "Is Prince An going to rescue you?"

"Prince Anjun should have received the news that the emperor was captured by the Xia soldiers, but he has not moved yet. I am afraid that he has acquiesced in the new emperor's enthronement." Mu Jingyi said: "And Princess Anjun and the prince are both here. Even if you think about it, he won’t raise any objections.”

What Mu Jingyi did not say was that Qingzhou was an important prefecture and county in Lindu, and Prince An held heavy troops in Qingzhou. If he did not come to the capital, the prince would not be at ease even if he sat on the throne.

Chang Luoyun stopped talking and just smiled and said: "Then I'll ask Qing Luo and Bi Yanqian to pack some things, and I'll go tell my mother."

As soon as she stood up, Qing Luo had already walked in with a smile, "Madam, as ordered by the Marquis, the things that need to be packed have been packed."

Chang Luoyun smiled and said to Mu Jingyi, "In that case, I'll go tell my mother."

Mu Jingyi stood up and said, "Let me go with you. I just happened to have dinner with my mother and set off."

The two of them walked out together. Kong Linger got the letter and walked to Mrs. Mu's yard.

Mrs. Mu heard that Mu Jingyi and Chang Luoyun were going to Qingzhou. Although she was a little surprised, she didn't ask any more questions. She just told them to pay more attention on the way.

Mu Jingyi said: "Don't worry, mother. If you go to Qingzhou now, it won't take long for you to come back. After all, the emperor and the empress have not returned to the court yet."

Mrs. Mu thought about it. She gently took Chang Luoyun's hand and said, "Yun'er, although the weather has warmed up here, it is still cold in the morning and evening. As a girl, you should pay more attention to your health."

Since her mother's death, no one has ever spoken to Chang Luoyun like this. She felt warm in her heart and said with a smile: "My mother's legs are not good, so she must remember to fumigate on time."

Mrs. Mu smiled: "Since you entered the Marquis Mansion, you may be in a better mood, and my legs don't hurt as much as they did in the past few years."

Chang Luoyun put a piece of fermented duck into Mrs. Mu's bowl, "Anyway, you have to pay attention to what you should pay attention to. When I come back, I will make you a pair of knee pants. Wear them close to your body. Your body will be warm. It will be good for your waist and The legs should be better too.”

Kong Linger's eyes flashed, and she picked up the bowl and took a sip of soup.

The light soup is not as refreshing as before when you drink it in your mouth. Instead, it only feels a little sour.They were originally the same, so how could she marry such a good husband and be loved by her mother-in-law.

And she just wants to be a concubine, but she can't.

She put down the bowl, gently swallowed the soup in her mouth, and said to Chang Luoyun with a smile: "Yun'er, after my father and mother were killed, I don't have many people at home in Qingzhou anymore. If it is convenient, can I do this?" It’s okay if you let me go to Qingzhou with you this time.”

"inconvenient."

Before Chang Luoyun could speak, Mu Jingyi had already said calmly, "I'm going to Qingzhou this time on official business, and no unofficial people are allowed to go with me."

Kong Ling'er's expression stiffened for a moment, a weak smile appeared on her pale face, and she said timidly: "It's because I didn't think carefully, Yun'er, don't take it to heart, I will go back when I have the opportunity in the future."

"Ling'er." Chang Luoyun was a little apologetic. As soon as he opened his mouth, Mu Jingyi interrupted: "If Miss Ling'er wants to go back to Qingzhou, it will be the same if I send someone to escort you back, but you can't go with us."

Kong Ling'er's little face turned completely pale. She put down her chopsticks and lowered her head. Liquid fell gently and splashed into the soup bowl in front of her.

"Okay, okay," Mrs. Mu said, "Miss Ling'er has lost her parents, how can we let her go back to Qingzhou to live alone? Since it is inconvenient this time, let's talk about it later."

Chang Luoyun thought about Kong Ling'er and looked at the table full of food, but it didn't taste good no matter how he ate it.
