Chapter 250 Another person behind the scene is exposed

Chapter 250 Another Behind-the-Scenes Exposure (1.9)
"My grandson and son-in-law have business to discuss, so I'll go first." Mrs. Lin stood up, and Lu Xinyan quickly stepped forward to support her, "Grandmother, I'll take you out."

"No, no, no need to give it away! You young people have important things to talk about, so you talk slowly, grandma is not old enough to walk."

Mrs. Lin pulled Lu Xinyan's hand away, and winked at Xiao Yichen, "Grandson-in-law, I'll see you later."

Xiao Yichen got up quickly, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, go slowly."

After Mrs. Lin left, Qi Fei repeated what he had just said, "Lord Jin found a secret letter from the Queen in Yuan Xiu."

Xiao Yichen's eyes narrowed slightly. Jin Yu had told him before that Yuan Xiu had received a secret letter from Beijing, but he couldn't find it. Later, Xiao Yichen asked the people from Zhuque Hall to search secretly, but they found nothing.

Yuan Xiu secretly belonged to the Second Prince's faction, Xiao Yichen always thought that the letter was sent by Grand Master Ge or his cronies, but unexpectedly it was written by the Empress herself!

But how could such an important letter be easily found by Kim Jong?

"What was written in the queen's secret letter?"

"The letter asked Yuan Xiu to deal with the young lady."

Xiao Yichen frowned, "You won't deal with me?"

"By the way, it's okay to teach the young master a lesson, but the key point is to deal with the young lady." Qi Fei said: "My subordinates guess, maybe it's because of Princess Changping."

Wu Wan loves Xiao Yichen, now she is disfigured and blind, the empress is heartbroken, she must be more obedient to her, maybe it is because of the idea of ​​destroying Lu Xinyan and marrying Wu Wan to Xiao Yichen, that's why Yuan Xiu is required to deal with Lu Xinyan.

"Are you sure it's the queen's personal letter?"

"Master Jin said that when he visited the Queen Mother in the palace, he had seen the Buddhist scriptures that the Queen copied for the Queen Mother. Looking at the handwriting, there is a [-]% possibility that it was written by the Queen Mother."

"Yuan Xiu and Su Sheng set up such a big game to link me with Heishuiya, clearly to put me to death and disqualify the third prince from competing for the throne!" Xiao Yichen said: "Yuan Xiu belongs to the second prince, but Raising soldiers for the first prince, I had doubts before, whether the first prince and the second prince secretly formed an alliance to deal with the third prince and the fourth prince! Now seeing that his actions are contrary to the queen's secret trust, he should have betrayed the second prince and took refuge in the first prince .”

Lu Xinyan said: "It seems that Jiang Lin has someone from the eldest prince hiding in the dark, and this person has a very high status!"

Qi Fei said: "Young Madam, why did you say that?"

"Qi Fei, let me ask you, if you received a secret letter from Shizi Xiao asking you to kill someone, what would be your first reaction after reading the letter?"

"Burn the letter."

"That's right! Burn the letter to avoid getting caught!" Lu Xinyan said, "But Yuan Xiu kept the queen's letter, isn't it strange?"

"Young Madam, you mean..."

"Xiao Shizi said that Yuan Xiu had secretly become the eldest prince's person long ago. I guess Yuan Xiu should be the one who gave the letter to the first prince, and that person kept the letter, just in case it would be wrong to frame Xiao Shizi this time. If it succeeds, we will push this matter to the empress!"

Qi Fei suddenly realized, "The eldest prince is really scheming! That private soldier has been raised for at least four or five years, and his troops and weapons are very powerful. No army is willing to run into him! Now that we have exposed it and wiped out the entire army, it is a loss. It is a big matter, but this letter can push all the matters to the empress and the second prince, and [-] troops can overthrow the second prince who has the best chance of winning the throne, it is worth it! Awesome!"

Xiao Yichen said: "It's not necessarily that he really made it to this point, I guess it's more likely to be a blessing in disguise!"

"Elder Prince Xiao is right, the First Prince never thought that you would find out about his private soldiers." Lu Xinyan looked at Xiao Yichen with a smile, "In the eyes of the First Prince, compared to the Second Prince, the First Prince is the one who is the most important person in his life. The greatest enemy! If possible, he would never exchange [-] soldiers for the resignation of the second prince!"

"There are two more things." Qi Fei said: "One is that Mr. Jin tested Yuan Xiu and Su Sheng yesterday, and neither of them knew who Bai Zhi was. It seems that Bai Zhi's disappearance has nothing to do with them. Second, Mr. Jin yesterday, Mr. Hu." During the search of the two houses of Yuan and Su, Yuan Xian'er, the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, disappeared. The third daughter of the Su family, Su Zi, and the young master of the Su family, Su Bao, originally fished out two corpses that were so bloated that they couldn't see their true colors. It was Su Zi and Su Bao, but this morning someone said no! Lord Jin said that these three people were on the run, and he arranged for Lei Jiang to catch them and make up for his mistakes! Yuan Xiu and Su Sheng committed suicide in prison, Lord Jin and Lord Hu and Little Golden Retriever, leave for the capital today to plead guilty, I hope the young master returns to Beijing soon."

Xiao Yichen glanced at Lu Xinyan, and Lu Xinyan said: "I will tell my grandmother and the others later that I will leave Jianglin tomorrow. Qi Fei, you go to Heishui Village and bring Axue over."

Qi Fei said: "Uncle Leng will bring Ms. Yao to Jianglin City today, stay at the inn for one night, and then set off with us."

In normal times, Lu Xinyan would definitely invite Yao Xue to come to Lin's mansion to have fun, but the separation is imminent, which will add to the worries of Mrs. Lin and the others needlessly.

After breakfast, Lu Xinyan mentioned to the Lin family that she was leaving tomorrow.

The Lin family had already been mentally prepared. Seeing Lu Xin's worried face, Lin Yunfeng said, "Zhuzhu, don't worry. I discussed it with your uncle last night. Your uncle is a good weaver and dyer, but he really lacks in managing the firm." Some talents, so we plan to hire someone to manage Lin's firm! Ayun has been with your mother for many years, and she has received her true biography. She is capable and courageous. She was with your grandmother a few days ago. It was she who handled it properly. We decided to invite Ayun to be the big shopkeeper of Lin's business! For your mother and your face, she has already agreed! Aunt Han's family and grandfather also invited them to come to Lin's house to help And Guard Luo, he is good at martial arts, I heard that his two sons are also good at martial arts, in a few days when your uncle is in better health, ask him to personally invite Guard Luo's family to come to Lin Manor as guards!"

Lu Xinyan was originally worried that the eldest prince's people would be unfavorable to the Lin family, but now Lin Yunfeng has arranged everything properly, thinking that Zhuquetang will be watching, and Dahu and Xiaohu can introduce people from Heishui Village, so she feels more at ease.

On this day, apart from accompanying Mrs. Lin, Lu Xinyan and Xiao Yichen also met many people, all of whom came to apologize.

There were Wu Qiao, Lei Jiang, Master Liu, some country gentlemen who had been deceived in the dark, and Lin Xinghan who was full of guilt.

"Cousin, I'm sorry, Miss Yuan called me to ask some things about you before, I may have accidentally leaked it, let them guess your identity, and take the opportunity to deal with you!"

"Cousin, you didn't reveal this identity. Yuan Xiu and Su Sheng know my identity. Miss Yuan can know who I am just by asking them." Lu Xinyan said, "You don't have to blame yourself."

Although Yuan Xiu and Su Sheng knew her identity, they would not tell Yuan Xian'er for no reason. If Yuan Xian'er had no doubts, she would not seek proof. Su Zi came up with this method because she got information from Lin Xinghan. Think of ways to deal with her in advance!
But Lu Xinyan would not tell Lin Xinghan about this, he was just a child who hadn't grown up, he didn't do it on purpose, he was just temporarily bewitched by beauty.

"But cousin, when looking at women in the future, you can't just look at them, you know?"

Lin Xinghan blushed, "Understood, cousin."

-

Early the next morning, Lu Xinyan and Xiao Yichen had to leave.

The Lin family was very reluctant, but they had to smile on their faces. Mrs. Lin held Lu Xinyan's hand, "Zhuzhu, grandma doesn't ask you to come and see grandma next year."

"Why?" Lu Xinyan was puzzled.

"Grandmother wants you to bring a fat great-grandson here in the next year." Mrs. Lin winked, "So in the second half of this year and next year, we must work harder, you know?"

Lu Xinyan: ...Grandma, you think so far.

When Qiu Yun and Aunt Han heard this, they looked at each other. Qiu Yun stepped forward, coughed, and said cryptically, "Master Xiao, young people should pay more attention to their health, and don't hide their illnesses from medical treatment, so as to worry the elders in the family!"

"Aunt Yun taught you a lesson! I will definitely take care of my health in the future!" Xiao Yichen bowed his hands and was taught modestly, thinking that Qiu Yun was worried that he would be a military commander, and that he would hurt Lu Xinyan in an accident.

Qiu Yun looked anxious, "That's not what I meant!"

Xiao Yichen: Huh?

"That...that..." Qiu Yun didn't know how to say it for a moment. After all, she was also an unmarried Yunying, and in front of so many people, how could she say something?

Lu Xinyan understood in an instant. She suppressed a smile and pulled Qiu Yun aside, and said in an extremely serious tone: "Aunt Yun, don't worry, if there is anything, I will persuade him."

"Really?" Qiu Yun doubted whether Lu Xinyan understood what she meant.

Lu Xinyan nodded seriously, but in reality she almost suffered internal injuries.

Qiu Yun thought that Lu Xinyan was in harmony with each other and should understand, so she let it go and said earnestly: "Miss Zhuzhu, Mr. Xiao is really a rare good man in this world. If you can marry him, you will definitely marry him." Mother is in the underground to bless you, you have to cherish it! After getting married, serve your parents-in-law wholeheartedly, manage the backyard well, let Xiao Shizi work hard in the court, and you can't be as self-willed as before, put him on the back foot, and be laughed at by others, you know? "

Aunt Yun, how high do you think I am over Xiao Yichen?Lu Xinyan slandered in her heart, but responded to them one by one with her mouth.

Here, Aunt Han said: "Master Xiao, Miss Zhu Zhu was brought up petitely, she might be a little unruly and willful at times. In fact, her daughter's family is cute with a little temper. Please bear with me, Mr. Xiao."

"Don't worry, Aunt Han, I will definitely not let Zhuzhu suffer any grievances. How she lived before marriage will continue to live after marriage."

Aunt Han nodded in satisfaction. Seeing that Qiu Yun had finished speaking, she pulled Lu Xinyan to talk for a long time. The meaning inside and outside the words was similar to what Qiu Yun said. Being able to marry Xiao Yichen is because of the good incense of the ancestors, so we should cherish it Such a good marriage.

Lu Xinyan nodded again and again, and finally Aunt Han said the same thing about seeking medical treatment for hidden diseases as soon as possible, Lu Xinyan finally suppressed her smile, and it came up again.

The melancholy of parting, because of this topic that only she understands, has diluted a bit.

After waving goodbye to the Lin family, they got into the carriage.

The carriage was about to start, when Wu En suddenly cried out from the front of the carriage, "Azhu, don't go, if you want to go, you can take me with you! Woohoo, if you don't want to be my Little daughter-in-law, then let me be your door-to-door husband-in-law, woo-woo~ Otherwise, I won’t let you go~”

The carriage was forced to stop, and Ziyan asked for instructions, "Miss, what should I do?"

Azhu gritted her teeth angrily, jumped out of the carriage and pulled Wu En up on the ground, "Come with me!"

She pulled Wu En aside, grabbed his hand, and said something quietly, Wu En's little face was full of tears, surprise flashed past one by one, it was wonderful, and then he cried even louder, "You compensate my little daughter-in-law, you compensate my little daughter-in-law..."

He repeated this sentence over and over again, but he didn't stand in front of the carriage, and he didn't say anything like not letting Ah Zhu go.

The carriage moved slowly.

Lu Xinyan lifted the curtain of the carriage, and waved goodbye to the Lin family until she could no longer see anyone.

Wu En's mournful cry was still ringing in his ears, Lu Xinyan couldn't help asking curiously: "Azhu, what did you say to Wu En just now?"

Azhu curled her lips, with a rather depressed expression on her face, "I told him a secret."

Qingtong pricked up her ears and wanted to listen, but Azhu kept silent, and asked, "A secret that even Miss can't tell?"

A Zhu hummed, a little listless, "I will tell my sister later."

Lu Xinyan said: "Azhu, if you are reluctant to part with Xiao En, I can tell President Wu to take him to live in the capital for a while and find a famous doctor in the capital to treat Xiao En. President Wu will definitely agree."

"It's not that I can't bear to part with him." Ah Zhu was still a little helpless, but she didn't go any further.

The little girl didn't want to talk about something on her mind, and Lu Xinyan didn't force it.

After walking for a while, the carriage met Yao Xue Lengxun and went to the pier together.

On the pier, there was only Gongsun Mobai.

"Where is Mr. Xu?" Xiao Yichen asked.

Gongsun Mobai said: "He returned to Beijing with Mr. Jin and Mr. Hu yesterday."

Xiao Yichen nodded slightly, without saying a word, "Let's get on the boat."

Gongsun Mobai saw Yao Xue who was veiled, Leng Xun and Zhang Daqian who were wearing bamboo hats, and asked curiously, "Yichen, who are these people?"

Zhang Daqian was Leng Xun's former lieutenant general. Liu Jing and other villagers had families and got used to a stable life, so they stayed in Heishui Village. Only Zhang Daqian was as carefree as Leng Xun, so he went with Leng Xun the capital.

"Zhuzhu is a good friend she met in Jianglin."

Before Yao Xue's identity was finally confirmed by Yao's family, Lu Xinyan and the others had a tacit understanding not to spread the matter to the outside world for the time being.

"In the evening, I asked the boatman to prepare some wine. Let's talk about what happened in the past few days while drinking. I'm really curious." Gongsun Mobai sighed, "If I had known that I would be going back so soon, I shouldn't have helped Xu Chui copy the accounts. , I didn’t even go to Guizhuang! At that time, I was thinking about asking you to go with Princess Zhuzhu.”

Xiao Yichen patted him on the shoulder, "There will be a chance."

At sunset, the flower boat stopped at the pier where it stopped when it first came.

After dark, Gongsun Heihei asked people to move tables and stools, put them on the deck, prepared good wine and food, and invited Xiao Yichen and Lu Xinyan to enjoy the moon and have a drink together.

It was Yao Xue's first time leaving Heishui Village by boat, and she was so excited that she begged Leng Xun to go ashore to have a look.

Although Leng Xun was her adoptive father, he was a man after all, so Lu Xinyan asked Qingtong to accompany the two of them, and Qiu Wuya was bored, so he followed.

Azhu seemed to realize that even if she stayed, it would not be able to prevent Xiao Yichen and Lu Xinyan from getting together, so they also went ashore to play together.

Apart from the boatman, there are only four people left on the ship, Lu Xinyan, Xiao Yichen, Gongsun Mobai and Qifei.

The pier at night is extremely lively, with countless flower boats docked on both sides, the colorful lights hanging on the boats are reflected in the water, and the moon sprinkles the clear light on the river.

"Come on, Yichen, Princess Zhuzhu, let's have a toast." Gongsun Mobai raised his glass first.

He was seasick, and sat on the boat for most of the day, his complexion was a bit unwell, the light in his twinkling peach eyes was much dimmer, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Zhuzhu can't drink." Xiao Yichen took the wine glass in front of Lu Xinyan, "I drank it for her."

Lu Xinyan puffed up her mouth: stingy!
"Yichen, it's really enviable to see that you two have such a good relationship!"

"You can do it too. Go back and let your mother choose a house and wife for you. Slowly develop a relationship, and it will be the same as Zhuzhu and me." After Xiao Yichen finished speaking, he looked at Lu Xinyan tenderly.

Lu Xinyan glanced back at him, she said this as if their relationship only came after they got engaged, obviously he had kept her in his belongings early in the morning, okay?
Gongsun Mobai drank a glass of wine, "I'll talk about this later! By the way, what did you experience in the ghost village, and what is there? How did you get out safely?"

Xiao Yichen said: "There is nothing in that ghost village, but the formation inside is so mysterious that it took me two days and two nights to break it out. As for the inside, it is an empty house that no one lives in."

The matter of Long Wei is no small matter, Lu Xinyan and Xiao Yichen agreed that no one will say anything about it!
Gongsun Mobai asked suspiciously: "Empty house? But I heard people say that those who go in will be thrown out the next morning. What's going on?"

"I can't explain why this is so. Maybe some of the people who went in before were just thrown out in the morning. There are rumors spread in the market, and they all believe it." Xiao Yichen said: "If you have a chance, Mobai, go and find out yourself."

"It took you two days and two nights to come out. I'll forget it. If the rumors are wrong, I would die inside in my prime. It's a pity!"

Gongsun Mobai drank another glass of wine and asked curiously: "Then what happened to Yuan Xiu and Su Sheng? Mr. Jin and Mr. Hu were busy that day. I am sorry to disturb you. I heard that the two of them committed suicide in prison the next day. , Mr. Jin and the others are in a hurry to go to the capital again! I heard that the two of them ganged up to rob the tribute, raised their own soldiers, fabricated the facts, and deliberately pushed the crime on the innocent people of Heishui village. Is this true? "

Xiao Yichen hummed, and simply replied five words, "It's roughly the same."

Seeing that he didn't seem to want to say more, Gongsun Mobai played with the wine cup for a while, an expression of inexplicable meaning appeared in his eyes, and even the tone of his voice changed a little, "Is there anything difficult for Yichen to tell me?"

Xiao Yichen poured a cup for him, "Mo Bai, you are the most clear about my current situation in court, there are some things that you don't need to say too clearly."

"That's true, but I forced it." Gongsun Mobai drank the wine in his glass, smiled, his peach blossom eyes were blurred, "But I'm still curious, how did you find out about those private soldiers, and what about Mr. Hu?" Just happened to come here with soldiers? Ganshan has a total of [-] troops, which cannot be mobilized casually!"

"It's a coincidence. In addition to secretly recruiting young and middle-aged men, the people who raise soldiers behind them will also arrest some well-qualified men aged 30 to [-] for training. My late mother-in-law has a guard by her side. She returned to Jianglin four years ago. , because his two sons were born taller than their peers and had good qualifications, they were arrested and served as soldiers. They missed their parents at home, so they ran out secretly and were rescued. They were afraid that their family members would be retaliated and dare not go home and have been wandering outside. After Zhuzhu and I came out of the ghost village, we happened to meet two people when we were avoiding the siege of the people. After knowing this, I became suspicious and secretly let someone inform Mr. Hu."

Xiao Yichen said: "The emperor has always attached great importance to the matter of bandits. Lord Hu has the trust of the emperor, so he will spare no effort to relieve the emperor's worries, so he brought the troops here and invited Lord Jin to be a witness."

Gongsun Mobai heard this, and said with great emotion: "Yichen, you are so lucky, you can make great achievements like this! You and I came to Jianglin together, but I don't even know how it happened, and it would be embarrassing to say it!"

The atmosphere suddenly became depressed.

Xiao Yichen didn't know how to comfort others, so he silently drank a glass with Gongsun Mobai, and Lu Xinyan said: "Master Gongsun, Mr. Xiao came to Jianglin to investigate the robbery of tribute, you came to Jianglin to learn something, and you have learned a lot." , it’s nothing to lose or lose!”

"That's what the princess said." Gongsun Mobai poured himself a glass of wine, with a hint of self-mockery on his lips, "But I always thought that I was different from those children who were sealed by the family. Now it seems that different people, only It’s just Yichen. Me, there’s no difference.”

Seeing him drink two cups in succession, Lu Xinyan said: "Mr. Gongsun, your talent is higher than your height. You are an eagle soaring in the sky. Why belittle yourself? If you meet the right opportunity, you will be the best! This wine is good. , Drinking too much will still hurt your body, so drink less."

"Really?" Gongsun Mobai stood up staggeringly, arching his hands: "Although I can't prove it for the time being, I still want to thank the Princess for comforting me. Please accept my respect."

He didn't know whether it was because he had drunk too much alcohol, or because he was still seasick, but he took two steps towards Lu Xinyan, but he couldn't stand up, and fell on Lu Xinyan.

The hands that were joined together grabbed Lu Xinyan's neck in a strange gesture.

"Pfft!" "Boom!"

The two voices sounded almost simultaneously.

Gongsun Mobai who was knocked into the air looked at the dagger at the base of his thigh in disbelief.

He avoided Xiao Yichen's full blow, but unexpectedly, he was stabbed by Lu Xinyan.

"You...you know kung fu?" Gongsun Mobai quickly tapped acupuncture points to stop the bleeding, and looked at Lu Xinyan who was hidden behind the pale Xiao Yichen in disbelief, "I thought I was hiding deep enough, but I didn't expect the princess to be the one." A real actor!"

Tao Hua's eyes were clear and cold, how could he look half drunk and depressed just now?

"Just kidding, I just learned some self-defense techniques!" Lu Xinyan curled her lips into a smile, her lazy, caring and understanding expression disappeared in an instant.

Ever since Lanying Villa was trapped in the hunting forest and was rescued by Xiao Yichen, after returning, Lu Xinyan not only asked Uncle Tian to set up Linlang Pavilion, but also began to learn kung fu from Qingtong.

But she is old, her skin is delicate, no matter modern or ancient times, she was raised pampered, which really made her hard-hearted. Down, achievements are limited.

Lu Xinyan knew very well that she was not even half-handed, at most she would only fight three or four ordinary big men, if the opponent had a little bit of punching and kicking, she would have to admit defeat, so she simply kept the matter a secret, No one said anything, including Xiao Yichen.

She thought that if she was really in danger, no matter how powerful the opponent was, she might have a chance to survive when it was hard to guard against.

Unexpectedly, it really came in handy for her.

Xiao Yichen's complexion recovered slightly, and he glanced at Lu Xinyan, thinking of the moment just now, there was a storm in the depths of his eyes, wishing he could swallow that woman!

After controlling his emotions a bit, Xiao Yichen looked at Gongsun Mobai with great pain, "Mobai, when did you collude with the First Prince?"

Gongsun Mobai didn't answer, "I would like to ask, when did you and the princess start to doubt me?"

Lu Xinyan said: "When Shizi Xiao suspected you, I don't know, but I started to suspect you when you went to the Lin Mansion the day before yesterday and said that you were dragged by Mr. Xu to copy the account books."

"Why?" Gongsun Mobai was stunned. He had thought of many ways to keep him out of the situation when he set up this situation, and finally felt that this way was the least suspicious, but he didn't expect it to be suspected?
"Gongsun Gongzi, you are the eldest grandson of the eldest princess and Chen Pinghou, and you have noble blood of the royal family. Although the job you receive is not high, how can a small household doctor be able to order you? Your Gongsun Mobai has always been with Xiao. The prince has a good relationship, the prince Xiao is the cousin of the third prince, in the eyes of outsiders, you can be regarded as someone who is close to the faction of the third prince, and the household department belongs to the faction of the fourth prince, why would you help a faction of the third prince? People from the prince’s faction? The account book is dirty, locked up in the weaving bureau for ten days and copied for ten days, is it something your Gongsun Mobai would do if you tell it?”

Gongsun Mobai said: "Yichen was ordered to come here to solve the tribute robbery. Mr. Xu messed up the account books of the weaving bureau. He didn't trust outsiders. He was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to make troubles. If I help copy the accounts, it can be regarded as a favor to Yichen. It's not justified. ?”

"Gongsun Gongzi, don't forget that Kong Shangshu doesn't like me and Xiao Shizi. Because of the matter of Kong Tingyu and Kong Yuxi, he wants to kill us! If the weaving bureau can't find out the problem, Xiao Shizi can't do the job. Being punished by the emperor, I'm afraid Kong Shangshu is happier than anyone else!"

Gongsun Mobai thought for a while, nodded and said: "The princess is right, I didn't think carefully! But just based on this incident, the princess thinks that I and the eldest prince are all the same, which is too hasty .”

Lu Xinyan said: "If this is the only incident, I would not dare to confirm it lightly, but through this incident, I have carefully thought about every detail since I met Gongsun Gongzi from beginning to end, and then I am sure. "

"I consider myself to be impeccable, and I don't know where my flaws are exposed. I would like to hear the details!"

Lu Xinyan said: "Gongsun Gongzi, you pretend to be unrestrained and greedy for beauty on the surface, but in fact it is not like that at all. Before, I was a rare beauty who combed the clouds and the moon beside me. You have never even looked straight at me. One look at them! I’ve said this before, and I didn’t think much about it at the time, but now that I think about it, I don’t quite understand it.

You are the eldest grandson of the family. The eldest princess and Chen Pinghou love you very much. Chen Pinghou and his wife regard you as an eyeball. Brothers, no one is half as good as you. You are the designated heir of Lord Hou long ago. No one in the clan opposes it. There is no one who can't bear the inner pain of brothers turning against each other and indulges himself!If you don’t get married and don’t take up an official career, although your elders in your family force you, they don’t resort to iron and blood methods. You have to live according to their wishes when you are looking for death and life.
If it is said that rebellious youth is commonly known as the second disease of middle school, everyone will have it, but now you are nineteen, and you are already past the age of getting sick!What's more, if you are really such a twosome, how can you become friends with Xiao Shizi?You have a good day tomorrow, but you still want to visit brothels, sleep in willows, and act like a libertine. It's not because of your nature, nor is it forced by life, it can only be to confuse outsiders!

After trying to understand this, I continued to think, to confuse outsiders for the convenience of doing something in secret. As a member of the royal family, what do you want to do in secret?Only for the throne.Although you have royal blood, you will never dream of becoming an emperor yourself, either to become an emperor yourself, or to support others to ascend to the throne.You are getting close to Prince Xiao, the person who appears to be the Third Prince naturally did not pretend to be for the sake of the Third Prince, the rest is the eldest prince, the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince.

The second prince and the fourth prince, one is the empress's son, behind him is Grand Master Ge and Manchu civil and military officials, the other is Concubine Kong Shu, behind him is Kong Shangshu and the people of Tianwu, they are afraid of Prince Xiao's military power, and wronged you to lurk by his side, It also makes sense.But Kong Tingyu can rule out the fourth prince, because if you belong to the fourth prince's faction, when you know that Kong Tingyu is interested in me, you will tell Kong Shangshu about it, and you won't just watch the tragedy of the Kong family happen later.

After excluding the fourth prince, I thought about it again. I remembered the leather goods war with the first prince. At that time, Uber was intercepted. Later, I thought it was the first prince who met Xiao He on purpose and got the news from her, but I Think about it carefully yesterday, you also saw me the afternoon you were cut off.If you are willing to inquire, you will be able to know where I come from, and then inquire about Uber's whereabouts.In addition, you have said twice in a joking tone that you want to marry me.

You have no admiration for me in your eyes, and Xiao Shizi had a heart for me early in the morning. As his good friend, it is impossible for you to not notice it at all. You told a woman that your friend likes but you don't like that you want to marry her, it was not you Having hatred for your friend means that you have other plans for that woman!At that time, the only thing I, Lu Xinyan, could be coveted by others was the dowry left by my mother!The eldest prince covets my dowry, and has done evil things many times, and you also covet my dowry. Apart from the fact that you are in the same group, is there any other explanation? "

After Gongsun Mobaizai listened carefully, he let out a long sigh, "I thought I was extremely careful in my actions so that no one would notice any mistakes, but I didn't expect that there are so many loopholes!"

"There are two more points. One is that you and the third prince Xiao Shizi and the fourth uncle went to my yard to eat barbecue. Now that you think about it, you are probably lamenting that you can't help yourself and you must help Great Prince."

"Why did the princess make such a statement?"

"You are of high birth, you are the darling of the family, the empress dowager loves you very much, the first prince is not as good as you because of his biological mother, let alone the life he has lived since he was a child, even the ordinary children of many big families in Beijing are not as good as you. Two growth experiences It is difficult for people with such a big difference to feel sympathetic. But your grandmother, Princess Yunyang, is not. There are only a few elders in the royal family, so their status is honored. Among the four adult princes in the palace, only the eldest prince and the eldest princess share the same illness, so I guess, it is actually the eldest princess who formed an alliance with the eldest prince, and you are just being loved by the elder princess. The person sent by the eldest princess, you don't want to, but you have to, so you feel involuntary!"

A trace of grief flashed across Gongsun Mobai's face, and it was fleeting. Instead of admitting it directly, he asked, "What about the second point?"

Lu Xinyan stared closely at his eyes, "You took Bai Zhi away, right? I went to the Lin Mansion the day before yesterday, and today I took a boat for a long time, and you didn't even ask Bai Zhi!"

"It's just a mere girl, why should I ask?"

"But when we met on Jianglin Street that day, you specifically asked Bai Zhi."

Gongsun Mobai smiled softly, "Sure enough, you can't hide anything from the princess!"

"Hand her over!" Lu Xinyan said with a frown, "She is the emperor's personal lord, you must not hurt her!"

"I won't hurt her with my own hands, but whether she can leave or not depends on her own ability!"

Lu Xinyan snorted softly, "What do you mean?"

"Thank you, Princess, for clarifying the confusion, and leave!"

Lu Xinyan stretched out her arms, "If you don't hand over Bai Zhi, you are not allowed to leave!"

"Princess, although you found out that I belong to the eldest prince, what did I do? What evidence do you have? Why don't you let me go? Don't forget, I am the mansion of the eldest princess Yunyang." His eldest grandson!"

"You!" Lu Xin was speechless, and Gongsun Mobai was right. Even if he knew that Jiang Lin was arranged by Gongsun Mobai, Yuan Xiu and Su Sheng committed suicide. It's the second prince and the empress, not the first prince and him!

But did she just let him go?Lu Xinyan was very unwilling.

Xiao Yichen, who had been silent all this time, pulled her back, half-raised his light-colored glazed eyes, and looked at Gongsun Mobai emptily, "Mobai, you were the man in black who assassinated me last May, right?"

At that time, he was poisoned first, and then was chased and killed by a master, and escaped in a cave.

There is also the beginning of his relationship with Zhuzhu.

Gongsun Mobai did not make a sound.

No sound is the default.

"I didn't expect that your kung fu is so good, and you also hide it very deeply. If you didn't attack Zhuzhu just now, I wouldn't have noticed it." Xiao Yichen said calmly: "From now on, I can do it myself."

From then on, they were not only strangers, but also distinct enemies.

Xiao Yichen seemed to be very calm, but his voice was slightly deep and dry, revealing his true inner feelings.

A brother who has been trusted for more than ten years, suddenly becomes an enemy who schemes to harm him!How can there be no waves in the heart?
Gongsun Mobai's figure seemed to tremble slightly, without saying a word, he turned into a stream of light in a blink of an eye, and jumped onto the shore.

Qi Fei who didn't know when he appeared said angrily: "Master, are you really letting him go like this?"

"He is right in saying that he is the eldest grandson of the eldest princess's mansion, not to mention that we have no evidence to prove that the private soldier is related to him, even if there is evidence, as a relative of the emperor, only the emperor can punish him! "

Qi Fei felt very reconciled, he took a sip in the direction where Gongsun Mobai left, and turned back, "Just now Zhuquetang sent the news that the person who secretly wanted to kill the young lady at the execution ground was Yuan Xian'er, the eldest lady of the Yuan Mansion. ...Mr. Yuan blocked it, and now Mr. Yuan's poison has been cured, but Yuan Xian'er's whereabouts are still unknown. The person who sent the letter said that Yuan Xian'er saw that she accidentally injured her brother that day, and she was afraid and hid. .”

Yuan Wei rescued Lu Xinyan, and the two of them had a tacit understanding without mentioning a word. Xiao Yichen didn't want to owe this favor, so he asked Zhuquetang to secretly find an antidote and find out who wanted to kill Lu Xinyan that day. Now it is found out that Yuan Xianer did it , Lu Xinyan has nothing to feel guilty about Yuan Wei in her heart, sister owes brother to pay!
"Send down the order, find Yuan Xian'er, and kill him!" Xiao Yichen's face was gloomy, and the cold air all over his body seemed to be pressed on the air conditioner, whizzing out.

"Yes, young master!" Qi Fei responded.

If it wasn't for Yuan Wei who blocked the dart, even if the young lady didn't die, she would definitely suffer a lot!Damn that vicious woman!Just killing her is simply cheap for her!
As soon as Qi Fei left, Lu Xinyan immediately put her arms around Xiao Yichen's waist, and in his arms she looked up at her charming little face reflecting the moonlight, "Brother Yichen~"

Uncle Xiao is angry, so he needs to be coaxed~
The man stood with his back to the moonlight, exuding the air-conditioning that would freeze to death all over his body, but there were flames burning in his eyes, he gritted his teeth, "You're really brave!"

That voice can really freeze people, Lu Xinyan trembled all over, "No, no! I wanted to surprise you about the martial arts training. As for the fact that I doubted Gongsun Mobai and promised to have wine with him tonight, I just wanted to Then try again, after all, he is your good brother, there is no real evidence, I don't want to slander him casually, but I didn't expect that he would do something tonight..."

Under that cold gaze, Lu Xinyan became more and more guilty as she spoke, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

Xiao Yichen said sternly: "I don't blame you for the martial arts training, but for tonight's incident, do you want to test it? Mo Bai's real skills are not inferior to mine, but you can stab him with a dagger, which means that you have been on guard in secret for a long time. Get it while it's not ready!"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong! I only cooperated because I wanted to expose him, and I don't want you to be cheated~" After being exposed, Lu Xinyan stuck out her tongue and said delicately: "That's why I believe you can protect him~ Don't be angry, ah, I will feel bad if I get angry~"

The man was tense as cold as a statue, but finally he couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Don't do this again!"

She wouldn't know that when he realized that Gongsun Mobai had shot, his heart almost stopped beating, his body reacted faster than his mind, and after hitting Gongsun Mobai with all his strength, his whole body was cold, his hands and feet were weak, His mind was blank, and he only thought about one thing: what would happen to him if something happened to Zhuzhu right under his nose?
Xiao Yichen couldn't imagine such a result!
"No, absolutely not..."

-

After Bai Zhi was knocked out that day, she woke up and found herself in a simple cabin, with the faint sound of water splashing on the rocks in her ears.

She quickly checked her body and found nothing unusual, then sat up and looked around.

There was only one bed, one cabinet, and one set of tables and chairs in the room. She looked around and found nothing unusual.

She got off the bed and walked to the door, trying to open it.

The door is not locked.

Bai Zhi was overjoyed, and carefully looked out from the crack of the door.

No one is outside the door.

What does it mean to take her out of chains and out of guard?
Bai Zhi opened all the doors and went out to have a look.

shocked.

It turned out that the place where she was located was an isolated island, surrounded by water, and where the water and the sky met, one could vaguely see tall mountains and tall trees.

There are only two connected wooden houses on the island, and then there is the jungle.

no boats!
Bai Zhi shouted twice.

nobody!
No wonder she was not locked.

Even if she is allowed to move freely, she can't do without it!
Is it possible to let her build the boat by herself?She is not Qingtong, she can chop down big trees with bare hands!
With her sickly body, if you give her an axe, she won't be able to cut down a tree in a month!

What should we do now?
Bai Zhi squatted on the ground, staring at the endless sea not far away in a daze.

There may be fish in the sea, but she can't swim, there may be pheasants in the jungle, but she can't hunt.

Maybe looking for her can find wild fruits and the like, but she is not in good health and can't eat too much raw or cold food...

This kind of wilderness life really suits her!Who was so bored and threw her here?
Bai Zhi racked her brains to think, and after a while her stomach started to growl.

She rubbed her belly, not wanting to understand who caught her and what the purpose of capturing her was, but she figured out one thing: since the man spent so much effort to bring her to this ghost place, it shouldn't be Just to starve her to death!

Thinking like this, Bai Zhi looked at another wooden house next to her.

Maybe that wooden house is different from hers.

Bai Zhi got up and walked towards the wooden house.

Pushing open the door, it was really different, it was a kitchen.

Bai Zhi cheered, stepped forward to look carefully at the ingredients, and found that the varieties were quite complete, and all of them could be stored. There were also various seasonings, and even the wood had been chopped.

According to the quantity of those ingredients, it should be no problem to live here for ten days.

Bai Zhi lived in Lin Ruyue's village for a few years. Most of the time she used her hands to serve herbs and patients. Occasionally, she would also cook by herself. Although her skills were average, the cooking she made by herself could still enter her own mouth.

She didn't know how long she would be left here, and she didn't dare to eat more, let alone waste it, so she wove a small net and put it on the edge of the reef, waiting like a rabbit, hoping that the fish washed up by the waves would fall into it .

Not to mention, she was really lucky, and she really picked up two for nothing.

Bai Zhi didn't eat it, but raised the two fish in a basin.

She thought about killing the two fish until the day she really had nothing to eat, and lasted for two days.

Half a month later, even though Bai Zhi ate less, the food was still getting less and less, and in the past half month, she hadn't seen a single person, not even a passing ship.

That night, Bai Zhi was lying on the bed, looking at the gray roof, a little desperate.

She was in poor health since she was a child, and was often alone at home, so when she was thrown here at first, she quickly accepted the reality and lived a peaceful life.

But every day passed, except for the sunrise and sunset, and the gradual reduction of rice tanks, there was no change at all.

This feeling of approaching death makes people feel helpless and even desperate.

After Bai Zhi sighed for a long time, she forced herself not to think too much, not to give up, Miss and Sister Qingtong must be more anxious than her if they couldn't find her for so long!
They will find her!
Bai Zhi closed her eyes, and after an unknown amount of time, when she was feeling sleepy, the door suddenly slammed and was knocked open with great force.

Clutching her chest, she jumped up from the bed in shock, her face pale.

A black shadow fell to the ground, and by the moonlight outside, it could be seen that it was a person, a tall man.

Bai Zhi's nose sensitively sensed the smell of blood blown by the sea breeze. She is a doctor and is very sensitive to the smell of blood. She immediately judged that the man on the ground was injured!
Her chest was pounding violently, and her mind was spinning rapidly. The appearance of this man here meant that she was captured by him!He came alone in the middle of the night and was injured. There must be a boat outside. If she snatched the boat while he was unconscious, would she be able to leave here?
Bai Zhi immediately made a decision, she got dressed and was going to the kitchen to get some dry food.

Her physical strength is unable to row the boat, so she can only float on the sea. No one knows when she will be able to float to the shore, so she must bring dry food.

The man was lying across the door, with his face half down, a few strands of hair sticking to his face, with the moonlight behind his back, he couldn't see his face clearly.

Bai Zhi was not in the mood to see who was arresting her, so she carefully avoided him and stepped over.

The hem of the skirt was suddenly grabbed, and Bai Zhi almost screamed.

Turning around, a handsome face surpassing a woman's face was raised, bathed in the moonlight.

His eyes were closed tightly, and his breath was like a gossamer. In an instant, he let go of his hands, and his head fell powerlessly to the ground.

Bai Zhi opened her mouth wide in shock, and stood there, unable to move for a long time.

-

Gongsun Mobai was awakened by the pain.

There was a sharp stabbing pain at the base of his thigh, and the pain penetrated to the bone marrow, and he opened his eyes suddenly.

Under the orange oil lamp, a woman in white was half-kneeling beside the bed. Her hair and half of her face were wrapped in a white cloth, revealing a smooth and plump forehead covered with beads of sweat, and a pair of half-drooped eyes.

Aware of his movement, the woman raised her eyes and glanced at him, her eyes were calm and her voice was the same, "Are you awake? Hold on, the wound will be healed soon."

Gongsun Mobai clenched his fists tightly, his whole body was tense because of the pain, and his teeth were clenched together tightly. He wanted to ask her why she saved him, but he couldn't speak at all.

His eyes lowered slightly, and his eyes were attracted by the pair of small hands that were stitching up the wound for him and stained with his blood.

Her fingers were extremely white, just like her skin, which was so pale that it was almost transparent. There was no blood on the extremely neatly manicured nails, but they showed a bit of coquettishness because they were stained with his blood.

She sews very fast, with familiar techniques and graceful movements, which is as pleasing to the eye as embroidery, if the person being sewed is not him.

Gongsun Mobai watched the hand go up and down, temporarily forgetting the pain.

Bai Zhi raised her eyes to look at Gongsun Mobai, and said calmly: "It didn't hurt the root, so don't worry."

Gongsun Mobai frowned, "Are you still a woman?"

"At this time, I am a doctor." Bai Zhi said.

"so what?"

"I'm a doctor, and my medical skills are not bad, and I'm well-informed." At this time, Bai Zhi had stitched it up, holding a clean bandage, and calmly said: "Do you bandage yourself, or should I help you?"

"I'll do it myself!" Her calm angered him for some reason, Gongsun Mobai said viciously, reached out and grabbed the bandage in her hand, accidentally tore the wound, causing him to grin his teeth in pain, "Get out!"

Bai Zhi glanced at him, she had a lot to ask, but swallowed it back.

In the end, without saying a word, he took a quilt and left the room.

In the morning, Gongsun Mobai woke up from hunger.

Smelling the aroma of porridge coming from the kitchen next door, I held back and waited for Bai Zhi to bring it over.

But it wasn't until he heard the sound of washing dishes and didn't see Bai Zhi bringing the porridge that he realized that they didn't prepare him at all!
Gongsun Mobai was angry in his heart, but he didn't know how to vent it. If he moved his body, he would tear the wound again. Finally, he threw the pillow on the door of the room, making a loud noise.

Hearing the sound, Bai Zhi quickly came from the kitchen, pushed open the door, glanced at the pillow on the floor, and saw Gongsun Mobai on the bed staring at her with fiery eyes, and turned away after seeing that nothing was wrong.

"Stop!" She didn't ask a question, which made Gongsun Mobai even more angry, but he couldn't ask why he didn't prepare breakfast for him, so he said coldly, "I'm hungry!"

Bai Zhi turned around, "You are hungry and go find something to eat by yourself." She acted like it was none of her business!
"You!" Gongsun Mobai was extremely angry, "You are a doctor, and I am an injured patient. Is there any doctor who treats an injured patient like you? Where is your heart as a doctor?"

"Young Master Gongsun," Bai Zhi mocked lightly, "You arrested me and locked me up in this ghost place for half a month, and you told me about the heart of a doctor?"

"Since you have resentment towards me, why did you save me yesterday?"

"Yesterday you were seriously injured. I was a doctor at that time, and I couldn't just ignore death! But today, I was just a prisoner caught by you for some reason. Forgive me for not being able to show you half a sympathy. Are you hungry or thirsty? What does it matter to me?"

After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she turned around and left, when a force came from behind her, she let out an exclamation, and flew backwards in the air.

By coincidence, it fell on Gongsun Mobai's injured leg.

Gongsun Mobai's face was disfigured in pain.

It's self-inflicted!Bai Zhi gloated twice.

"What are you laughing at? Re-bandage my wound!" He pinched her wrist and gritted his teeth.

Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows, "Are you sure?"

Gongsun Mobai suddenly felt that he had shot himself in the foot, but he didn't want to lose to a woman, "Sure!"

"Okay, come on then." Bai Zhi didn't hesitate at all, got up and brought a clean bandage, and lifted the quilt.

Gongsun Mobai was stunned, "What are you doing?"

Bai Zhi's lips were stained with a mocking smile, "How can I bandage the wound without showing it?"

Gongsun Mobai's hands were shaking, "You...have no shame at all! Which man dares to want you in the future?"

"Don't worry about it, Mr. Gongsun!" Bai Zhi's smile disappeared, "Should I change it? If you want to change it, just do it quickly, don't worry about mother-in-law!"

Thinking of his mother-in-law?Gongsun Mobai was in a mess in the wind.

He had a good appearance since he was a child, among those women in Beijing, no matter if they are the ladies of the family, Xiaojia Biyu, or the courtesan of the brothel, which one of them sees him without the shy attitude of a little daughter?He has never suffered such a loss under the hands of a woman!

He didn't believe it anymore, his Gongsun Mobai couldn't handle a little medical girl!

Gongsun Mobai took a deep breath, lifted the quilt, and exposed his injured right leg.

The wound opened, blood stained the bandage, Bai Zhi frowned slightly.

There is no food, if Gongsun Mobai is not good, they can't leave here.

She carefully cleaned his wound and re-bandaged it.

Gongsun Mobai's peach blossom eyes kept staring at Bai Zhi's face, trying to see the slightest bit of discomfort on her face.

I don't know if it was her calm attitude or the indifferent words just now that annoyed him, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Bai Zhi.

"What are you doing?" Her eyes were still calm, without any panic.

"It seems that you often face such situations." Otherwise, how can you be so calm?Gongsun Mobai felt a trace of jealousy in his heart.

Bai Zhi didn't move, and calmly reasoned with him, "Given your current injury, I advise you to calm down."

Gongsun Mobai sneered, "What if I don't want to calm down?"

Bai Zhi frowned, "It won't do you any good, you might lose too much blood and die."

Her calmness stimulated him, and he bent down impulsively.

Angry, he wanted to break the calm lake and disturb the spring water.

Someone punched the wound on her thigh, and he let her go in pain.

Panting for breath, he stared at her angrily, and saw that her face, which was originally so white and transparent, was stained with a layer of rouge, and her bloodless lips turned bright red, which was completely different from her usual appearance of Konggu Youlan.

Gongsun Mobai's chest throbbed violently, but a wicked smile appeared on his lips, "Do you know what you look like now?"

"Gongsun Gongzi, if anyone can't breathe for a long time, his face will be flushed and his breathing will be short of breath." The cold voice interrupted Gongsun Mobai's complacency.

He wanted to laugh at her that she was no different from other women, the calmness before was just an act.

"Get up when you've had enough trouble, your wound has opened again and must be stitched up again." Bai Zhi frowned slightly, looking like an adult telling him to stop making trouble for no reason!

Gongsun Mobai laughed back angrily, "Get up when you've had enough trouble? Do you think I'm a child? I'm not a child!"

He quickly grabbed her hand.

Bai Zhi was stunned.

She is not in good health, even if she is uncomfortable, it is difficult to blush. As long as she controls it well, no one will notice it. In addition, she is a doctor, so she is more accepting in her heart.

But now...

She was stupid and didn't know how to react, and her cute and cute appearance somehow pleased Gongsun Mobai, who made a low laugh.

Bai Zhi realized that he was playing tricks on her, suppressed her beating heart, and said indifferently: "It's not so different, it's not much different from other people."

The smile on Gongsun Mobai's face froze, and a sharp, angry pain spread from his heart, "Really? Then let me show you the difference from other people!"

Jealousy drives people crazy.

"Why are you so nervous? Stop!"

"I...I...can't breathe..." Bai Zhi gasped for breath, but his hands were imprisoned by him, unable to move.

Gongsun Mobai raised his head, only to see that Bai Zhi's face was as pale as paper, with his mouth open desperately sucking in air, as if he would stop breathing in the next second.

Gongsun Mobai turned pale with shock, "Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi, how are you doing?"

The woman in his arms was as fragile as a gust of wind, and she fell in his arms motionless, with only a slightly heaving chest, indicating that she was still alive.

Gongsun Mobai's hands trembled, terrified.

He just wanted to scare her, how could it become like this?
"Medicine..." A very thin voice sounded.

Gongsun Mobai was shocked, "What medicine? Where is the medicine?"

"In the sleeve."

Gongsun Mobai quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, "Is this it?"

Bai Zhi nodded.

Gongsun Mobai quickly poured out a few medicines. The medicine was white and the size of a mung bean.

"it is this."

Seeing her confirmation, Gongsun Mobai felt relieved, "How many?"

"Two."

Gongsun Mobai took out two pills and put them in her mouth, "I'll get water."

"No need." Bai Zhi swallowed the medicine and felt better, "Let me lie down for a while."

Gongsun Mobai immediately put her down, and saw that she closed her eyes, her breathing gradually became flat, her eyes darkened, and she fell beside her.

I don't know how long he was in a coma, but Gongsun Mobai was awakened by the pain again.

He opened his eyes and saw exactly the same situation as yesterday.

Seeing that he woke up, Bai Zhi said calmly: "Your wound is open, I'll sew it up for you again, don't move around for a few days."

Gongsun Mobai glanced at her, and hummed, the two chose to forget what happened before with a tacit understanding.

In the afternoon, Bai Zhi brought fish soup and a bowl of mush that was boiled from unknown sources, "There are no more rice or vegetables. There are only three fish here, and I eat one a day. This is a wild fruit in the mountains. I boiled it for a while. "

Gongsun Mobai was not polite, he picked it up and ate it.

He is a man with a big appetite, and he has never been hungry since he was a child. To him, eating half of a fish is the same as not eating.

But he didn't say anything, and fell asleep after eating.

After three days like this, at dawn on the fourth day, Gongsun Mobai got up, found a stick, and went to the beach to catch some fish.

Bai Zhi was sleeping in the kitchen, half asleep and half awake when she heard the sound of thumping in the barrel, she rubbed her eyes and got up to look, saw five or six fish, and cooked three immediately.

One for her, two for him.

Compared with the previous three days, she had half a fish a day, and he had half a fish. This is definitely a hearty breakfast.

After breakfast, Bai Zhi unconsciously glanced at Gongsun's black and white thighs.

"I'm fine. I'll leave here in three days."

Bai Zhi still has confidence in her medical skills, she nodded upon hearing this, "Okay."

She didn't ask him why he arrested her, and she didn't ask if he wanted to release her if he left here, or if he wanted to move to keep her locked up.

Gongsun Mobai didn't say anything either.

It seems that once something is said, it can no longer be regarded as never happened.

Three days later, Gongsun Mobai took Bai Zhi and left the island. He sent her to the gate of the Lin residence, turned and left without saying a word.

The next day, Lu Xinyan received a letter from the flying pigeon of Zhuquetang, saying that Baizhi had returned to the Lin Mansion safely and would leave for the capital in a few days.

-

On the Luo River, on an ordinary fishing boat.

An ordinary-looking woman was holding a three-month-old baby who was vomiting and crying loudly, and kept coaxing softly, "Bao'er, be good, don't cry, don't cry, Bao'er, be good."

But the baby was only three months old, so he couldn't understand it, and it was uncomfortable to sit on the boat, so he cried a lot.

Another dark-skinned girl sitting next to the woman had extremely distinctive facial features upon closer inspection.

At this time, Liu Mei frowned, and was extremely impatient by the crying, and couldn't help but said: "Ah...Su, I told you not to take it, what a trouble! Crying and crying all day long, it's so noisy .”

"Sister Ah Yuan, no matter what, this is my...flesh and blood. From now on, the incense in the family will depend on him. How can I ignore it?"

The dark-skinned girl said disapprovingly: "Now you can't protect yourself, how will you live with him in the future?"

The woman said: "I will figure out a solution on my own, don't bother my sister."

"Hmph, if you don't know good people, you will suffer in the future."

The two parted unhappily.

The baby was probably tired from crying, closed his eyes and choked a few times, and soon fell asleep. He looked pink and white, like a ball, very cute, and a smile appeared on the woman's lips.

They were Su Zi, Su Bao, and Yuan Xian'er.

That day when the Lin family was put on the execution platform, Su Sheng wanted to watch it, but happened to be unwell, so he didn't go and sent the housekeeper.

Su Zi, a woman, didn't want to see such a bloody occasion, so she didn't go either.

The two originally thought they would wait for good news, but the steward came back in a hurry and told Jin Zheng and Hu Yu that they had come. After finding out all the truth, they wrote a letter to Emperor Longde, and the imperial decree came.

Su Sheng fell to the ground on the spot, and then Su Zi understood why Su Sheng kept telling her to hold on to Jin Yu. It turned out that Su Sheng was behind the scenes to guard against himself, steal his own soldiers and punish the nine clans!
If she married Jin Yu, Su Sheng would win over Jin Zheng, and one day something would happen, the Su family might be able to survive the catastrophe and soar to the sky in the future.

Su Zi was a little bit regretful that she didn't use more force on Jin Yu, but it was useless to regret at this time.

"Father, what should we do now? Why don't we find a few people to pretend to be us, and let's escape together?" Before the officers and soldiers arrive, hide first, maybe there is a chance of survival.

Su Sheng's face was ashen, and he looked at his beautiful daughter in despair, "Where can I escape from such a big crime?"

He gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "Ah Zi, you take Ah Bao with you. Ah Bao is the only male in our Su family. You promise father that you will protect him no matter what! Father does not ask him to become rich in the future." Dagui, I just hope that the incense of the Su family will not stop at my place!"

He is the main culprit, where can he find someone similar to him to take the blame in a hurry?

But Su Zi is different from Su Bao!

Su Sheng asked people to immediately find a baby who was several months old from outside, put on Su Bao's clothes, and found a maid who was similar in shape to Su Zi, threw them into the well, gave Su Zi a token, and let Su Zi Zi successfully ran away with Su Bao.

Su Zi disguised herself as a woman, and while Su Bao was escaping, she accidentally ran into Yuan Xian'er. Yuan Xian'er accidentally injured Yuan Wei at the execution ground that day, but she escaped without going back because she was afraid of punishment.

They didn't have to be alone when they met on the road. Su Zi and Yuan Xian'er were very happy at first.

But within two days, the conflict between the two came out.

Su Zi was cautious. In order to avoid being discovered by others, she dressed herself in an extremely ordinary way, and her makeup was ugly. If others saw her, they would definitely not recognize her.

But Yuan Xian'er was not. In the first few days, she followed Su Zi to pretend to be ugly. Seeing that she was getting farther and farther away from Jiang Lin, she felt that the danger was over. He was willing to slander, and attracted the eyes of many men along the way, making Su Zi tremble with fear.

This is still a trivial matter, but the biggest difference lies in Su Bao. Su Bao is only a three-month-old baby, who can't help eating, drinking, and sleeping. Su Zi left Su Bao behind, at one moment she said that she was not the same mother and younger brother, and they would not agree in the future;

Su Zi was very impatient to hear that, Su Bao is the only male in the Su family, and the future hope of the Su family, she will never abandon Su Bao no matter what!Therefore, Yuan Xian'er's words, she hummed twice, and listened to her ears, but she had other concerns in her heart.

That night when the boat drew near the shore, Su Zi and Yuan Xian'er got off the boat and threw themselves into the inn.

Yuan Xian'er wanted to find a better inn, Su Zi persuaded: "Sister, we are different now, Dad is alive or dead, and there is no source of money, so save as much as you can."

"I spend my money, not yours." Yuan Xian'er said, "If you want to live in those lowly places, go and live, I don't want to live."

She had asked someone to assassinate Lu Xinyan at the execution ground before, and she had a 1000 taels of silver note in her hand, and said that she would pay the money immediately after the good thing was done, but the thing didn't work out, and the money was not paid.

The banknotes were for common use. When she was running away, Yuan Xian'er exchanged the banknotes for smaller ones, but she never dared to spend them, but there were still a lot left.

On the contrary, because Su Zi didn't have time to prepare, she only brought a little private money and some jewelry.

I don't dare to wear jewelry for fear of being recognized by others, and there are only a few dozen taels of silver, so naturally I have to live frugally.

Su Zi heard what Yuan Xian'er said, and said: "Then I will go with my sister, and there will be more people to take care of me."

In the middle of the night, the inn suddenly caught fire, and everyone in the inn heard a shrill voice screaming, "My face! My face!"

-

On the morning of the third day of May, Lu Xinyan and Xiao Yichen and his party arrived in the capital.

The carriage stopped in front of Uncle Ankang's mansion, Lu Ziyi brought the little Gao family Lu Xinwan, and several younger siblings to greet him at the door.

"Zhuzhu!" Seeing Lu Xinyan get off the carriage, Lu Ziyi happily went up to her.

"Brother!" Lu Xinyan hadn't seen him for a long time, she missed him very much, she was about to rush towards him with a smile, when an inadvertent cough came from behind, Lu Xinyan made a grimace in her heart, her feet slowed down, and she didn't fall into Lu Ziyi's arms, Instead, he stood in front of Lu Ziyi.

Lu Ziyi glanced at the back, a little dissatisfied, and when he looked back at Lu Xinyan, he changed into a gentle expression, and he patted her head, "Is the journey hard?"

Lu Xinyan's eyes sparkled and said: "It's not hard work, but it's fun! Brother, I'll talk to you slowly when I have time!"

"Brother!" Xiao Yichen cupped his hands in salute.

Lu Ziyi snorted inwardly: Do you think he didn't know that he coughed just now, because he didn't want Zhuzhu to get too close to him?It's too much!But after thinking about the two getting married in a few days, Lu Ziyi suppressed her dissatisfaction and said lightly: "It's been a hard journey."

At this time, Yao Xue and Azhu got off the car one after another, and Lu Xinyan introduced them to Lu Ziyi, "Brother, these are two friends I met in Jianglin, Azhu and Axue."

"Hi Brother Lu." Yao Xue and Azhu saluted respectfully.Yao Xue was the same as before, wearing a veil on her face, her face was so recognizable, Lu Xinyan wanted to surprise Long Xin, and didn't want others to recognize her first, so she spread the news.

Yao Xue is an adult woman, Lu Ziyi was embarrassed to look more, after returning the salute, she looked at Azhu and asked in surprise, "Azhu?"

Lu Xinyan smiled and said, "Brother, isn't this fate wonderful? It's the same name as mine."

At this time, the little Gaos came up to see the gift, and the younger ones were very happy when they heard that Lu Xinyan had brought the gift back.

Xiao Gao looked at Azhu, felt familiar, but couldn't remember where he saw it, put this idea aside, and smiled flatteringly at Lu Xinyan: "Princess Shizi has worked hard all the way, let's go and rest first." .”

Xiao Yichen said: "No need, big brother, Zhuzhu, I'll go home first."

Lu Ziyi said, "Go slowly."

"See you in a few days." Xiao Yichen took a deep look at Lu Xinyan, then jumped into the carriage and left.

Happy courtyard.

Xiao He has been back from Zhuangzi for a few days, and now she is guarding the gate of the courtyard. When she saw Lu Xinyan, she immediately flew into her arms, "Miss, you are back! Woohoo, I miss you so much!"

Lu Xinyan pinched her maliciously, "This waist has grown flesh, and it's clear that life is very comfortable, how can you miss me?"

She exerted some force, Xiao He screamed, "Miss hates it!"

Then he asked nervously: "Miss, have I really put on weight? I can't fit in last year's clothes, but Aunt Lu said I'm not fat, which is just right!"

Xiao He, who is almost 15 years old, is now slim and tall, about the same height as Lu Xinyan, with bright and pure eyes, and a bumpy figure. Because of her active relationship, her complexion is ruddy, and she feels a healthy and fresh girly look.

After being separated for two months, Lu Xinyan felt like her daughter had grown up quietly.

She glanced at Xiao He with a smile, and said meaningfully: "This meat will grow."

I don't know which brat will be cheaper in the future!
Xiao He is a bit older now, unlike when she was just growing up, she blushed with shame when Lu Xinyan teased her, "Miss is the same."

Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Little girl has grown up, it seems that she will start picking a husband for you!"

Xiao He's ears turned red, and she spat at her, "Miss will bully people! I'll ignore you!"

Turning his eyes, seeing Ah Zhu, his eyes flashed with amazement, "Miss, where did this beautiful little sister come from?"

Azhu didn't seem to like this title very much, Nunuzui said expressionlessly, "My name is Azhu."

Lu Xinyan glanced at Azhu in surprise. Azhu had always had an inexplicable possessive desire for her. Seeing Xiao Yichen with her, she always tried to separate them. Now that Xiaohe is so clingy to her, she thought Azhu would be very upset. , but judging by her expression, she didn't seem to take it to heart.

"Sister Azhu, I'll take you to play!" Xiao He was the youngest in the yard, and it was rare for someone of the same age to come, so she stepped forward excitedly to hold Azhu's hand.

Ah Zhu dodged to the side and avoided, "No need."

Xiao He was a little stunned, thinking that Azhu was not used to being a newcomer, so she warmly stepped forward and took Azhu's arm, and pulled Azhu away, "Azhu, Miss is very nice, all the aunts and sisters here are very nice, you Don't be afraid, if anyone dares to bully you, tell me, and I will help you out..."

After Xiao He and A Zhu left, Nanny Lu and Xing Luoxia came forward to greet her, "I've met Miss!"

"It's all hard work."

They talked for a while, introduced Yao Xue, and asked Nanny Lu to put away the presents brought back from Jiang Lin. After the due portion was divided, Lu Xinyan took Yao Xue back to the room.

"Sister, I feel like I've been to this capital city before!" After entering the house, Yao Xue excitedly held Lu Xinyan's hand, "The tall city walls, wide streets, rows of stone lions, and your yard, I seem to have seen them all!"

"Your stepmother brought you here a few times when you were young." Lu Xinyan said: "Let's rest for a while, after lunch I will take you to see your stepmother, stepmother must be very happy."

"So fast?" Yao Xue clutched her chest, "Sister, I'm so nervous, what if... what if I'm not?"

Lu Xinyan joked: "It doesn't matter if it's not, I recognize you as my sister, you are my sister."

"Ah?" Yao Xue opened her mouth wide in disappointment, and said cutely, "Sister, don't you think that maybe I'm not?"

Lu Xinyan laughed out loud, "I'm just kidding you! If you weren't, there would be no one in this world."

He said again: "You are worried now because you haven't seen your stepmother. When you see your stepmother, you will know that what I said is absolutely true!"

Yao Xue felt a little more at ease when she saw what she said with certainty, but she still couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, and felt timid because of her hometown.

Seeing Yao Xue like this, Lu Xinyan didn't delay, and took her and Qingtong to Yao's mansion after dinner.She originally wanted to take A Zhu with her, thinking that Long Xin would be happy, but A Zhu somehow didn't want to go out and wanted to rest, Lu Xinyan let her do it.

The carriage soon arrived at Yao's mansion, Qingtong went up and knocked on the door, she had been with Lu Xinyan several times before, and the concierge of Yao's mansion knew her.

"Uncle Li, my young lady came back from Jianglin and brought some special products for the second lady."

"Second wife is not at home, Miss Qingtong, please come back later."

not at home?Qingtong wanted to ask again, but the door was closed.

Qingtong walked towards the carriage suspiciously, always felt that the concierge's expression was a bit wrong today, when she saw her before, she never greeted her with a smile, although she smiled today, she always felt that the smile was not on the surface.

"Miss, Uncle Li said that Mrs. Yao Er is not at home, so let's come back in a few days."

"Did you say where you are going?" Lu Xinyan opened the curtain of the car.

"Before I asked, Uncle Li closed the door."

"Then go ask again." After Lu Xinyan finished speaking, she thought for a while, "Let's go together." To avoid passing messages back and forth.

The door opened again, and Li Shu saw that it was Qingtong again.There was impatience on her face, "Miss Qingtong, the little ones have already said..."

A crisp voice sounded, "Uncle Li, where is the mother-in-law? When will you be back?"

Uncle Li quickly put away the expression on his face, and said respectfully: "Princess Zhuzhu, the second lady has gone to visit relatives. I don't know exactly which relatives will come back, and when they will come back."

Although there was an explanation from the above, but Lu Xinyan's identity was here, how could he dare to shake his face?
"Then can you find someone who knows to come out and answer?"

"Princess Zhuzhu," said Uncle Li in disbelief, "You know that the Second Madam never likes to tell people where she is going, if she knows, she will take it out, so..."
