Chapter 237 Something Happened?
Xu Ruqing got up early the next day.

Because today is the day she will accompany Chu Yu to the foreign guest's mansion to visit relatives.

Su Yichen didn't want to go at first, but considering that Xu Ruqing might be made things difficult by those people in the palace, he also went out with her after packing up.

After arriving at the foreign guest's mansion, the palace people of the foreign guest's mansion stepped forward to greet him.

"It turns out that the prince and concubine are here. The emperor and the envoys have been waiting for a long time. Please."

The palace servants didn't say a word about Xu Ruqing beside Su Yichen, but greeted Chu Yu who was behind him, which made Su Yichen very unhappy.

Just about to explode, Xu Ruqing covered his hand and shook his head slightly.

Su Yichen had no choice but to give up.

When we reached the gate of the main hall, the palace man leading the way suddenly stopped and said, "Your envoy, please invite the prince and side concubine to the main hall to have a talk, and the princess please stay here."

"Why can't I go in?"

"I don't know the princess. This visit is for the bride and groom to go back to the bride's home as husband and wife to visit the bride's parents. It is the last link of the wedding. You are neither the bride nor Gaochang, so you don't have to participate."

"You Gaochang people are raised like this? When guests come, there is no reason to refuse them."

The palace man smiled but did not smile: "As the saying goes, do as the Romans do, we also follow the wedding customs of Dongyuan Kingdom, and the emperor and King Gaochang attach great importance to this matter, and even ordered the younger ones not to be sloppy, so... we have to be wronged temporarily. Princess."

Xu Ruqing let out a deep breath, thought about it, that's all, it's fine not to go.

She was just thinking about how she would deal with those old foxes if they made trouble, and what the palace man said could be regarded as avoiding trouble for herself.

"If the concubine cannot go, then the king will not go either. Please tell the emperor and all the envoys that the king has something to do, so I will take my leave first."

The palace man paused: "This..."

Xu Ruqing pondered for a while, and persuaded: "You should go in with Concubine Chu, you have already come, if you don't go through the door, I'm afraid it will attract gossip from others."

"The mouth grows on them, they can talk as they like, I don't care."

Xu Ruqing let out a deep breath: "You don't care, I care, the prince is the God of War in Dongyuan Kingdom, who dares to judge you, then I will only have a bad reputation, if you don't go, they should call me a charmer. "

"Then you wait for me outside, and I'll come as I go."

Xu Ruqing smiled softly: "Okay."

She walked to a gazebo in the back garden and sat down, admiring the scenery in the garden bored.

If not to say that the imperial palace is impenetrable and magnificent, even the green plants planted in the garden are also very particular. Exotic flowers and herbs can be seen everywhere, and the colorful blooms are very bright.

She found a solitary golden chrysanthemum among the thousands of flowers with sharp eyes. It is now past the season for chrysanthemums to bloom. The high temperature of the day evaporates the moisture in her body, making her lose her innocence in the past, and the golden petals are shriveled and shriveled. , the wind blows through its crumbling branches and leaves, but even so it is not willing to give in, disdainful of all flowers, independent of the world.

Xu Ruqing lowered her head and sniffed the lingering fragrance. If possible, she really wanted to freeze time at this moment, so that the beauty and fragrance of the chrysanthemum would never dissipate.

"I would rather die with the incense sticks on the branches than blown into the north wind. Such a noble spirit is really admirable!"

Xu Ruqing raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw the eldest grandson Gongyu walking towards him.

"It turned out to be the eldest grandson."

The eldest grandson Gongyu was still dressed in white, as gentle as jade: "Ruqing, long time no see."

Hearing the eldest grandson Gongyu calling her so, Xu Ruqing's mouth twitched in embarrassment, and then asked: "Why did the eldest grandson come into the palace? Could it be that he was summoned by the emperor?"

"No, it's because the concubine mother stayed in the mansion and had nothing to do, so she came to chat with the ladies in the palace. I was afraid that she would be bored on the way, so I followed. I never expected to meet you when I passed by the foreign guest's mansion."

Xu Ruqing nodded: "So that's how it is...I accompanied the prince and concubine Chu to the palace to visit their relatives. The prince should have chatted with them at the moment. I will go and see if he has come out, so I will take my leave first."

Just as Xu Ruqing was about to turn around and leave, she heard Changsun Gongyu shout: "Wait!"

"You should have come here at the time of Chen. Since you are returning home to visit your relatives, you must have a lot of things to explain together. It is impossible for King Wei to be so fast. Why don't you go shopping with me, just so I have something to ask you, Ruqing, okay? ?”

"What would the prince want to ask me?"

Changsun Gongyu thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not very important, but I just want to ask you a few questions about pathology."

Xu Ruqing frowned suspiciously, unable to understand why: "The operation I performed on you last time was very successful, and I also sent someone to the mansion to ask after that, there is nothing wrong with the son returning to work later, logically speaking There will be no problems... Could it be that the operation caused complications?"

The eldest grandson Gongyu said with a guilty conscience: "Maybe, I really feel a little unwell these days... If you really don't have time, Ruqing, I can ask for advice another day."

Hearing what he said, Xu Ruqing had to put aside the idea of ​​looking for Su Yichen for the time being: "Illness can't be delayed for a long time, early detection and early treatment are the best. It's better to settle your matter first. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me now. "

Changsun Gongyu was overjoyed when she saw this, looked around and suggested: "This is an important part of the palace, there are many people, let's find a quiet place."

Xu Ruqing looked towards the entrance of the main hall of the foreign guest's mansion, but there was still no one coming out there.

She thought for a while and agreed, "Okay."

The quiet place Changsun Gongyu mentioned is actually the imperial garden of the imperial palace. The scenery here is more gorgeous and spectacular than the foreign guest's mansion just now.

As soon as the two came to sit down in a semi-enclosed attic, Wei En hurried over: "Your Majesty, you are here, so your subordinates can easily find you."

"Look at you sweating profusely, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"

"It's the concubine. She has been worried since she didn't see you after she came out from the concubine Xian, so she ordered her subordinates to come and look for you."

Changsun Gongyu thought for a while, and then said to Xu Ruqing: "Ruqing, wait for me for a while, I will go back as soon as I go."

Xu Ruqing couldn't, the mother was worried that her son would not be able to stop her from leaving, no: "Okay."

Grandson Gongyu and Wei En left.

Xu Ruqing was sitting on the wooden bench resting her chin, suddenly, she felt a sharp wind blowing towards her.

"call out!"

She opened her eyes suddenly, and easily dodged sideways.

Looking at the stricken pillar behind him, there was an arrow sticking out of it.

There was something on the sharp arrow, Xu Ruqing pulled it out and saw that it was a letter paper with nothing written on it but dripping with blood, and a strangely shaped purse with no clue what was embroidered on it.

"This is……"

Xu Ruqing's eyes widened, because she recognized right away that this purse was the one she gave Xiao Naibao on New Year's Eve!

Looking carefully at the blood stains on the letter paper, the color is still very bright, could it be... something happened to the little milk bag!
