Those years when I was Princess Yan

Zhu Bing's eyes were extremely bright in an instant, he stared at Liu Lingxiu for a long while, staring at Liu Lingxiu until he started to panic, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Nurturing an actress? I didn't expect her to be so bold, but she can really surprise people." Zhu Bing happily slapped his thigh, and when Liu Lingxiu was about to relax, he suddenly turned cold and stared at her, " Is this news accurate?"

"The servant girl heard Chu Qiu whisper this matter to Yan Wangfei, saying that the actress...change the place...to arrange for the two of them to go. They originally bought a house in Luogu Lane, but because of the title deed of the house, It is owned by Chu Qiu, afraid that the King of Yan would find out about it, so out of caution, he decided to arrange to go elsewhere. He also said that the newly found place is very hidden and will never be discovered." Liu Lingxiu was inevitably scolded by the King of Jin again, Cautiously said, "Since they have a guilty conscience and are afraid that things will be exposed, this place may be hard to find."

"This man, anyone who suspects that his head is a little green will go crazy."

Zhu Wei felt that this matter was a bit unbelievable, no matter there would never be a shortage of bold and reckless people in this world, one would know if it was true or not.

Zhu Yan first ordered people to investigate the land deed, and learned that there was indeed a house in Luogu Lane that was recorded under Chu Qiu's name, which meant that Liu Lingxiu did not lie when he eavesdropped.

In this way, after a careful investigation of the clues of the actors, it was found that a few months ago, two masked women had indeed bought two actors in the Ruyi Hall.

While Zhu Yan was happy, he couldn't help but sympathize with his fourth brother.He originally thought that the fourth sibling was at most a minor crime of impersonating Daoism, but he never thought that she was actually a prostitute.It's a pity that his fourth brother, who is always smart, rebellious and good-looking, is actually kept in the dark by such a woman, and is firmly put on a cuckold, to be precise, it should be two.

She will definitely not be able to keep the position of Princess Yan, and she will even have to pay for the entire Duke Wei's mansion.Sure enough, this woman from the countryside is bold and reckless, doesn't know the rules, so she can't marry.

In the final analysis, he is his own brother, so it is appropriate for his elder brother to bring his fourth brother to face this matter.

Zhu Yan immediately went to find Zhu Di. He sat down and drank half a cup of tea. Looking at Zhu Di who didn't know anything, he felt a little bit hard to tell him directly.He chattered nonsense with Zhu Di, chatting nonsense for a long time.

Zhu Di naturally didn't answer him a word, he just thought he was annoying.

"Still leaving?" Zhu Di hurried away impatiently.

"You have no conscience, the third brother came to chat with you out of kindness, why do you dislike me so much?"

Seeing him like this, Zhu Yan became angry, no longer hesitated, and simply took Zhu Di out.Zhu Di refused, so he forced him to take him to Fengyang City.

Before the two arrived at a house in Luogu Lane, Zhu Yan asked him, "Do you know who this house belongs to?"

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Bian coldly, still looking impatient.

Zhu Yan immediately raised his hand, and an attendant presented the brochure and put it in his hand.Zhu Yan handed the folded page of the booklet to Zhu Di for reading.

Zhu Di glanced at it, and there was a line with Chu Qiu's name clearly written on it, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Two days ago, one of my subordinates came to the city to do business. By chance, I saw her enter this house. Seeing her sneakiness, I paid more attention to it. I never thought that this is the place where she raises her family. .Now the man in the house has been sent by her to hide elsewhere. But she is just a scumbag. Who is the real master of the Peace Temple? The fourth brother will guess again. Time to tell who?"

Zhu Yan hooked Zhu Di's shoulder like a brother, and stared at Zhu Di directly, for fear of missing his embarrassing expression.

Zhu Di looked at the direction of the house without focusing his eyes, his expression was as cold as before, and there was no obvious change.

The fourth brother is smart, Zhu Yan knows it very well, now that he is talking about this, it is impossible for him not to understand.If there is no reaction at this moment, then there is only one possibility, he is trying to save face and pretend.

"This matter is a bit difficult to accept, but it is also easy to deal with. We are princes, how can we bear this kind of anger, how to die is not just a matter of your words." Zhu Yan comforted softly.

"Third brother, be careful." Zhu Di stared at Zhu Yan with a cold and piercing gaze.

Zhu Yan smiled, and cooperated: "Yes, yes, so the third brother took you to see if it is true. The third brother naturally knows that this matter has a lot to do with it."

At this moment, the guards rushed to report that they had found out the location of a house and found two young men living in the house.

Now it's stolen and won!

Zhu Di's brows raised unconsciously, he tried his best to press down the corners of his mouth, pretending to be serious, and asked Zhu Di what he thought.

"If you don't want to know, then let's pretend that this thing doesn't exist, it doesn't exist!" Zhu Bing deliberately pressed his finger to his lips, pretending to be quiet.

Zhu Di gave him a squinting look, and it took a lot of patience to resist not taking action against Zhu Fen who deserved a beating.

"Walk."

Zhu Yan led the way.

The two then arrived at a remote house in the north of the city. Compared with Luogu Lane, this place was more than poor and desolate.There was no one in the whole alley, the fallen leaves were piled up on the road, and there were obvious crackling noises when walking on it, and weeds as tall as half a person grew on the roofs of several nearby houses, which seemed to have been left unused for a long time.

Zhu Yan said with emotion: "This place is really remote enough."

After the two entered the house, they saw two handsome young men kneeling tremblingly in the center of the courtyard under the custody of the guards.

"What do you two do?" Zhu Yan interrogated.

The two men glanced at each other, and one of the older men replied, "Woo... carpenter."

"Pfft! Carpenter?" Zhu Yan couldn't help laughing, "In order to prevent being caught, even the confession was colluded in advance?"

"Don't dare to hide it, it's really... really a carpenter." Although they didn't know who the two young men in front of them were, they knew that they must not be from the scene of their entourage carrying knives. What ordinary people.

"Yes or no, you can know if you confront them face to face, don't you think so, fourth brother?" Zhu Yan said vigorously.

Zhu Di twitched the corner of his mouth, still remaining reticent.

"What do you want me to do here?"

At this time, a dissatisfied female voice came from the door.

Xu Qingqing and Chu Qiu took Biluo and other entourages, and led by a team of guards, entered the house.

"You are so presumptuous, you dare to offend Princess Yan!"

Biluo yelled in anger, with displeasure written all over her face

After they saw Zhu Di and Zhu Bian, they were suddenly stunned, and they all showed a very surprised look.

Zhu Bing was very satisfied with their performance, and took the initiative to admit: "Fourth sibling, I asked them to invite you over."

"Do the fourth siblings know these two people?" Zhu Yan didn't intend to give Xu Qingqing a chance to relax, so he cut straight to the point.

Xu Qingqing glanced at the two handsome men kneeling on the ground, "They look familiar, should I know them?"

"Slightly familiar? The fourth sibling is too modest." Zhu Yan sneered.

Xu Qingqing moved quickly, approached Zhu Di, and looked up at Zhu Di affectionately with incomprehensible doubts: "My lord, what's wrong with the third brother?"

"Crazy idle." Zhu Di replied lightly.

Zhu Bian was very surprised, "Fourth brother, I have worked tirelessly to think of you, and you scolded me! You wouldn't go to this point and still want to protect this woman, right? Then I think you are the one who is crazy, There are so many women who keep their duty in this world. You are the dignified prince, the prince of the country, and you have humiliated yourself to such an extent? What kind of **** soup did she feed you? Even if you can bear it, I will not agree , Father and Empress will not agree even more!"

"Third brother, are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Qingqing looked at her seriously with cold eyes, "Although I am third brother's younger brother and sister, I am a girl, and I am not as noble as third brother, but I am not at the mercy of others. Humiliated woman. If you wantonly slander me like this again, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhu Yan sneered, "What? I can't do this woman who raises a man in captivity, you have the face to argue with me!"

"What man?" Xu Qingqing asked back.

"Don't you admit it? Didn't you just say that these two people look familiar?" Zhu Yan has never seen such a brazen woman, and the truth is in front of him, but he still wants to make a cheeky sophistry.

"It's indeed familiar, I seem to have seen them before, but I don't know them." Xu Qingqing said.

"Yo, I don't even know the name, so I kept it for fun. This king is actually no better than you." Zhu Yan sneered.

"You have repeatedly spoken disrespectfully to my concubine." Zhu Di warned Zhu Yan in a cold voice.

Zhu Yan snorted and said wildly, "I just scolded her, what's wrong?"

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Bian quietly, with so much piercing chill in his eyes that Zhu Bian, who was always fearless, didn't dare to look directly at him.

"Is there some misunderstanding?" Chu Qiu interjected in a low voice.

"That's right, let me tell you clearly how you went to the Ruyi Pavilion with Princess Yan to buy an actress, and how you arranged the person and then transferred here, for fear that the King of Yan would find out."

Zhu Yan didn't want to speak so clearly at first, logically his fourth brother would be able to figure it out, and he would deal with it himself.Unexpectedly, his fourth brother would become an infatuated kind, and become stupid in order to protect that woman.

Chu Qiu looked at Zhu Yan in shock, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness, Pingdao has been wronged, and Pingdao has never done such a shameful thing with Princess Yan."

Without talking nonsense, Zhu Yan threw the record book he found from the government office in front of Chu Qiu, and asked her for an explanation.

"The house in Luogu Lane was indeed bought by Pindao, and it was indeed ordered by Princess Yan. This house was also purchased by Pindao after discussing with the princess, but these two houses were not bought for the use of officials. of."

"Then what are you doing here? Don't tell me that you and Princess Yan specially bought it here!" Zhu Yan sneered again.

"It is indeed bought to live in, but it is not for the poor Taoist and the princess, but for the three princes to live through experience and hardship." Chu Qiu explained, "At first, I planned to arrange the house in Luogu Lane, but the princess After reading it, I said that there are too many people there, and it is inconvenient for the guards around the princes to defend. Moreover, later, the majesty sent a letter repeatedly emphasizing that the three princes should suffer, so they reconsidered and wanted to arrange this house."

Chu Qiu then looked at the two handsome young men who had been kneeling on the other side, and continued to explain to Zhu Wei.

"The two of them are not actresses. They are carpenters working in Ping'an Temple. They came to this yard only to repair the house, so that winter will come in a few days. When the three princes move here to live, they will not catch cold The wind. Because there are many places that need to be repaired, let them live here for the time being.

Some time ago, the two had been busy in the Peace Temple.The reason why Wang Hao felt familiar was that she had seen them once or twice by chance when inspecting the fortifications.This identity cannot be faked, and they can be found out once they are checked. They have been apprentices with Carpenter Yang for two or three years, and many people know about it. "

"But my maid has clearly heard you mention Lingguan." Zhu Yan already had a bad feeling, but now that he has reached this point, he simply asked.

"There is a house in Luogu Lane where two actors lived. When the princess asked about the situation in Luogu Lane, Pindao mentioned it." Chu Qiu replied.

Zhu Bing's mind 'hummed', and his face changed drastically. He suddenly realized something... Liu Lingxiu heard intermittently, it was indeed a misunderstanding, or Xu Qingqing was setting up a trap and waiting for them to exploit.But after thinking about it, it was a few months ago that someone bought an actor. At that time, he and Xu Qingqing hadn't started fighting each other. It seemed that it was really just a coincidence.

To blame, I can only blame myself for being crazy and eager for revenge, looking forward to the scene he wanted to see in his heart, but acting too hastily.

This time he was really annoying, Zhu Yan secretly gritted his teeth, stretched out his hands behind his back and clenched his fists tightly.He turned his head and closed his eyes angrily when everyone was not paying attention.

Zhu Yan was thinking about how to save the situation, when he was about to open his mouth, Xu Qingqing on the other side burst into sobs.

Xu Qingqing lowered her head sullenly, dragged Zhu Di's left arm aggrievedly, put her head against the crook of Zhu Di's arm, sobbed tremblingly, her voice trembling, and murmured: "Third brother is too much to frame my concubine Famous festival, I beg the prince to be the master of this concubine!"

Zhu Di hugged him in his arms, looked at Zhu Bian with ice-cold eyes, and his voice was even colder, "Enough trouble?"

"Fourth brother, misunderstood, misunderstood, I too—"

Just as Zhu Yan was about to explain in detail, Xu Qingqing's whole body was shaking suddenly, and she fainted in Zhu Di's arms in a blink of an eye.

Zhu Di immediately picked him up and hurried away.

Zhu Bian was left alone in the desolate and deserted courtyard, and he couldn't get any more angry.After wandering around in a hurry with his hands behind his back, he kicked on the big tree in the courtyard, which hurt his toes instead.But because of his face, he didn't want to shout the pain, so he took a cold breath, and his heart became more and more irritable.What are you doing, you've lost all your face, and you've completely offended your fourth brother and his wife? Look at their couple's attitude, they're bound to sue the empress.

That's right, which woman doesn't feel wronged when she encounters such a thing and is framed for her reputation in front of everyone?

Zhu Bian reflected on how he, who has always been smart, would commit such a stupid thing, all because of that Liu Lingxiu...

Xu Qingqing and Yan Wang returned to the Taoist temple in the same carriage.

After she was carried into the carriage by Zhu Di, she woke up immediately, sat down obediently, and then thanked Zhu Di with a smile for cooperating with her in this play.

Zhu Di chuckled, and looked at Xu Qingqing with appreciation.

"good."

"I also think I'm pretty good, smart and powerful, hehehe..."

Holding the teacup in her hand, Xu Qingqing boasted unceremoniously.She drank three sips of water, and finally moistened her throat, just now, whining and whining, pretending to cry is not an ordinary waste of throat.

"It's the first time I've seen third brother so angry, but he doesn't dare to attack. Based on what the lord knows about him, will he blame Liu Lingxiu? After all, she passed the news on."

"Yes." Zhu Di said.

Xu Qingqing was relieved to hear that he deserved it so simply, and now Liu Lingxiu was going to be unlucky again.In fact, think about it, there is nothing wrong with Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death, but he is always beaten if he can't die, and he is quite miserable.

"Third brother may realize afterwards that I was plotting against him, and he will definitely hold grudges even more. Don't forget to ask someone to protect me, my lord."

You can't patronize beating others, but cherish your own life.

"Yes." Zhu Di agreed.

After Xu Qingqing returned to watch, she immediately went to the next step and wrote to the queen to complain.But this complaint also needs to pay attention to the way, and the effect of telling it directly is far less effective than telling it from other people's mouth.And as the daughter-in-law of the royal family, if she likes to complain too much, she will appear to be too provocative.Empress Ma is virtuous, and she should like a kind and well-behaved daughter-in-law the most.

Xu Qingqing thought about her wording for a while, and decided not to sue but to resign, embarrassing that the empress entrusted her with the great task of taking care of the princes, living up to the empress' expectations of her, and even more to reflect on her lack of virtuousness as a woman. It caused unnecessary misunderstandings, and almost caused a rift between Jin Wang and Yan Wang brothers.

Therefore, Xu Qingqing tried her best to review her mistakes in the letter, and put all the responsibility for right and wrong on herself.To exaggerate, to sum it up, it doesn't matter whether spring goes or autumn comes, or the sun rises and sets in the east, as long as something goes wrong, it's her fault.

No matter who reads this logic, if they use their brains a little, they will know her grievances.What's more, there is a report from the emperor's personal guards on the other side, and Xu Qingqing believes that with the ability of King Yan, he will find a way to secretly bring this matter to the emperor.

After Xu Qingqing finished writing the letter, she read it with satisfaction, then held up the paper to dry the ink.

Zhu Di had been half-lying on the Luohan couch under the east window reading a book, and when he saw that Xu Qingqing had finished writing, he came over and intercepted the letter in her hand.

After a quick glance, he raised one corner of his lips, "You can play tricks."

"How?" Xu Qingqing asked a little complacently.

"Rewrite." Zhu Di sent the letter to the oil lamp and lit it, then threw it into the copper basin next to the table and burned it.

Hello!Who told you to turn on the mode of burning after reading!

Seeing the letter she wrote so hard turned into ashes in an instant, Xu Qingqing wanted to beat King Yan to death with a mallet.

"Father is very suspicious. You can blame yourself, but you can't be too much, otherwise it will be counterproductive." Zhu Di asked Xu Qingqing to leave only three self-reflection parts, and the rest can only describe what happened. Don't blame others too much, but Don't blame yourself too much.

Xu Qingqing re-wrote a copy according to Zhu Di's request, and after reading it overall, it was really much better.Although the previous article made people very angry at first glance, and they couldn't help feeling wronged for her, but after careful study, it was indeed a bit of a white lotus flower, and most of it was deliberate.

Thinking about it carefully, the emperor has seen so many memorials and secret letters over the years. What kind of writing techniques have you never seen before?This little trick she played must be easy to see through.

Xu Qingqing couldn't help feeling scared, and thanked Zhu Di for reminding her.

Hearing her thank you again, Zhu Di glanced at her indifferently, and continued to read the book instead.

Xu Qingqing obviously felt that Zhu Di seemed to be unhappy somewhere, but couldn't figure out why.

But it's normal, everyone who has been in contact with King Yan has this feeling, King Yan is a weird and unpredictable creature, if you can figure it out easily, then it's not King Yan.Xu Qingqing has learned to adapt, let him go, ignore him.

After Meizizi folded the letter, Xu Qingqing went to take a shower and change clothes by herself.

After returning from the cleaning room, Xu Qingqing saw that Zhu Di was still there, so she leaned over and asked, "Aren't you going to live there tonight?"

The 'over there' that Xu Qingqing mentioned, of course, refers to the three broken tile houses where the three princes lived together.The implication is that you "three little Zhus" agreed to live under the same roof and suffer hardships, but you came to rest here with me, it really shouldn't be.

"Ah."

There was only an 'um', and there was not a single word of explanation.

Xu Qingqing pursed her lips silently, and sat on the other side of the Arhat's couch, trying to persuade: "The prince is not afraid that they will find out and have opinions?"

"Second brother is not a troublesome person." Zhu Di said.

Xu Qingqing actually understood another explanation hidden in Zhu Di's words: the third brother is a troublemaker, but because he made a fool of himself today, he is guilty now and dare not make trouble.

From this point of view, the dog man is staying here tonight.

Xu Qingqing stopped struggling extraneously, and after yawning twice, she was really sleepy, so she went to bed first.

Not long after lying down, Xu Qingqing felt someone coming behind her.Then, the quilt behind her was lifted, and the sweet woody fragrance swept over as the person approached.

Xu Qingqing was naturally held in Zhu Di's arms.

Xu Qingqing hurriedly pretended to fall asleep with her eyes closed, and let him hug her like this, without moving.

Suddenly, the tip of her nose brushed against her ears, and the low-pitched male voice pierced into her ears like a spell, and spread all over her body.

"If you want to thank you, you can't just say it with your mouth."

As soon as the words fell, thin and cool lips touched the side of her neck, Xu Qingqing shrank her neck subconsciously in shock.

"Stop pretending?" Zhu Di asked with a chuckle.

Xu Qingqing had no choice but to open her eyes, and didn't know what to say to explain her embarrassment of pretending to be asleep, so she tugged at his sleeve and yelled coquettishly.

"My lord—"

I thought that if a girl acted like a baby, she would be able to divert the man's attention, making him unable to bear to blame her for his mistakes.But Xu Qingqing didn't expect it at all, just this cry completely drew Zhu Di's fierce flames.

After the matter was over, Xu Qingqing felt that she was no longer herself, her body was almost unconscious, and she didn't even have the strength to control herself to turn over.

Xu Qingqing actually doesn't have much opinion on doing this kind of thing now. Adults need it. If you like it, I'd like it. Everyone is happy enough. It's okay.But she was worried about one thing - pregnancy.

Once she does too much of this stuff and she is really pregnant with a child, what should she do.Do you want the child or not?It seems impossible not to.But after giving birth to a child, is it possible for her to leave King Yan in the future?If she can leave King Yan, can she take away her own child?Of course not, how could the royal family let their own blood be shed outside.

Xu Qingqing immediately considered the possibility of living with Zhu Di for the rest of her life if she really had a child.It's okay to maintain the current state.But after all, it's just making do with life, and it's absolutely impossible to give sincerity and affection.After all, he is a prince, and there will be many concubines and beauties in the mansion in the future, and if he becomes the emperor in the future, there will be countless beauties in the harem.

Xu Qingqing never thought of asking Zhu Di for "one couple for life", which is too unrealistic.In this world, even a noble princess who is married to a concubine has no reason to stop the concubine from sleeping with a concubine.Not to mention that the man in front of her is a noble prince who grew up in a feudal environment, has always been aloof, and has a strong sense of self-control. He imagined that a man like him would defend himself like a jade for a woman, even in his dreams. too likely.

There is no way, this is the general environment, this is the reality, you are just a cannon fodder nun and not a heroine with unlucky luck, if you can't adapt to the environment, you just don't let yourself go, and you are just making yourself suffer.

Xu Qingqing didn't want to give birth to those redundant delusions, which would only add to her worries.Life is hard, and if you live too seriously, you will lose. It is the most meaningful thing to enjoy as much happiness as possible.

Xu Qingqing thought a lot before going to bed, all because of worrying about pregnancy...

The next day, after Xu Qingqing got up, she wondered whether she should solve her troubles from the root cause, and rewrote the prescription of Bizi Tang to find someone to prescribe the medicine.But who should do this is a problem. No matter who is responsible for it now, the risk of exposure is too great.

After Hu Baitian hijacked her, the guards of the guards had increased obviously, and the guards became stricter.In addition, she had a quarrel with King Jin yesterday, and she personally begged King Yan to send someone to protect her, so now there are more people watching her.The most important thing is, the ghost knows if King Jin stopped completely, if he also sent someone to watch her if he made a mistake.If the king of Jin knew that she ordered someone to secretly prescribe the prescription of Bizitang, and that she was suspected of murdering Wang Sun, the effect after this matter was exposed would definitely be no less than that of an actor.

To be prudent, Xu Qingqing had to abandon her pen and accept her fate.Contraception these days can only depend on luck, which is enough.

Xu Qingqing turned around and went to the main hall to burn a stick of incense, and begged the blessings of all the gods in the sky. Anyway, it all depends on luck, and superstition is the icing on the cake.

Xu Qingqing bowed for a long time in front of the three officials holding incense...

When Zhu Di came back from martial arts training, he heard that Xu Qingqing went to the front hall to offer incense, which felt fresh.He had discovered earlier that although Xu Qingqing had been a Taoist nun and had done many rituals for others, she was not sincere.

"What are you begging for?" Zhu Di asked Xu Qingqing immediately when she saw that she had finally bowed down.

Xu Qingqing was taken aback. Seeing that the culprit who caused her to become pregnant came, she panicked a lot.Fortunately, those words were not spoken just now, otherwise, if the king of Yan heard it, she would probably go to the ground.

"Naturally, I want to be safe. I beg the prince to be safe, so I can be safe." Xu Qingqing said casually with a reason.

Zhu Di thought that she was worried that King Jin would retaliate against her because of what happened yesterday, "Third Brother, although he acted badly, he still wanted your life."

"Oh, that's good." Xu Qingqing sneered.

Seeing that Xu Qingqing looked tired, Zhu Di asked Biluo to serve her so that she could rest after taking her to dinner.

"How can this be done? Today I have to follow the prince to herd cattle—"

"Lie down." Zhu Di's tone was unquestionable.

Xu Qingqing had no choice but to lie down obediently. In fact, she was really sleepy.There wasn't much sleep left last night, and she thought so much before going to bed, so it was naturally a serious lack of sleep.

It didn't take half a stick of incense for Xu Qingqing to fall asleep.The white and shiny slapped face has a peaceful sleeping face, and the eyelashes are trembling slightly. Although the eyes are closed, they do not have the lively and lively look when they are awake, but there is another kind of tranquil beauty.

Zhu Dimo ​​sat by the bed for a while, then Fang got up to leave.

Ever since Zhu Yan made a big scandal yesterday, he became very angry.After returning to view, he wanted to settle accounts with Liu Lingxiu, but he couldn't find anyone, and his anger became even more intense.

Yesterday, Liu Lingxiu went to release geese by the river on behalf of King Jin, and two guards accompanied her.She drove the geese downstream to let them go, and naturally the guards would not follow her, they only guarded the side of King Qin Zhu Xi.When it was getting dark, I saw the goose swimming back, but Liu Lingxiu was not there.

The guards then went to look for Liu Lingxiu, but found a pool of blood in the grass on the bank. The blood disappeared all the way to the river. It seemed that after being injured, he fell into the river and was washed away by the river.The guards searched further downriver, but still couldn't find Liu Lingxiu, thinking she was just a maid after all, not that important, so they turned back and reported to Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan suspected that Liu Lingxiu ran away on purpose because he was afraid that he would settle accounts with her.But after thinking about it, Liu Lingxiu didn't know what was going on at the time, so this inference was not valid.But it doesn't rule out that she wanted to run away.

When Zhu Yan was thinking about how to deal with Liu Lingxiu's follow-up matters, someone came to report that a farmer downstream rescued a seriously injured maid who claimed to be Liu Yaxin, who fell into the river after being injured by bandits while herding geese.Now that he is awake, he specially invites someone to inform King Jin.

As soon as Zhu Yan heard this, he sent to see how Liu Lingxiu was doing.

"I was slashed on the back. The injury was serious. When I got down, I was feverish and unconscious. According to the woman who took care of her, when she was awake, she said that the bandit deliberately wanted to inquire about the situation of the prince. She If he refused to say that he wanted to escape again, he was hacked and thrown into the river." The guard replied.

Zhu Yan sneered: "So, she is still a loyal servant."

The guard saw that the prince didn't believe it, and asked if he wanted to silence the girl.

"Leave her alone, don't worry about it anymore. I want to see how much trouble a person like her will make if she survives."

In short, he will definitely calm down in a short time, and what happened yesterday will definitely reach the father and queen, and he will suffer some in the future.

The four younger siblings will definitely file a lawsuit. Zhu Wei wrote a thousand-character letter of guilt last night and submitted it overnight, hoping to receive less punishment.

After breakfast, Zhu Di finally waited for Zhu Di, and hurriedly apologized to him: "It's all my subordinates' random speculations, which caused me to misunderstand the fourth younger brother. Please don't be offended by the fourth brother. I am also worried that the fourth brother will be wronged. I am in a hurry. I think. You don’t know how shocked I was when I sent someone to hear that there happened to be two girls who bought actresses in the Ruyi Hall. I’m still surprised, how could such a coincidence happen.”

"If everything can be solved by 'cunning', why do you need the law of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Di asked Zhu Bian coldly.

"The fourth brother is right. The third brother is wrong. The third brother is not right. The third brother also wrote an apology and submitted it to the father, begging the father to punish me. The third brother is willing to bear the mistake of the third brother. How do you do it?" Complaining and blaming the third brother is fine, but don't let this alienate the relationship between us brothers."

This time Zhu Yan is really willing to take down his face and make amends, even if he doesn't make amends, what he committed is really a jerk.

"That maid?" Zhu Di asked about 'Liu Yaxin'.

Zhu Yan immediately said: "Yesterday I was stabbed by a knife for some reason, and I am raising her in a farmer's house. If the fourth brother wants her, I will order someone to send it to you immediately."

"No need." To kill someone openly is the worst policy.

Zhu Di immediately sent someone to deal with it, and started secretly, as soon as it was resolved.

Two hours later, Qiu Ford came to report to Zhu Di: "The person is not there anymore, it is said that he was picked up by a tall and handsome man, who said he was her friend, and he wanted to take her to see Fengyang City for a better look." The doctor. The subordinates led people to intercept several important roads near Fengyang City, but did not see anyone, and searched every medicine shop and medical center in the city, and there was no woman with a back injury."

"Stupid." Zhu Di only cursed one word, and sent Qiu Fu away.

It took Qiu Fu a long time to think about it, and finally realized why the prince scolded him, he was actually cheated!The man who picked up Liu Lingxiu lied to the farmer. In fact, he didn't plan to take her to Fengyang City at all, but he said so on purpose, in order to lure away her pursuers.What a cunning trick!

During the period of waiting for the emperor's reply, Zhu Yan was very silent, almost never showing his face, as if there was a prince missing in the Peaceful Temple.

Because Xu Qingqing had to wait to see how the empress would deal with her, she did not specifically target Zhu Yan in the past two days.Besides, now is not a good time to target Zhu Yan. Many people know that they have conflicts. If they deliberately target him, they will easily be suspected.

Xu Qingqing often went to see Meng Jinzhi in the past two days.Meng Jinzhi was still the same, hiding in the house all day doing needlework, unwilling to see outsiders.Her craftsmanship is really ingenious, in just a few days, she has finished all the autumn clothes for thirty Taoist nuns in the temple.The stitches are dense and the size is made precisely. Everyone in the audience praised her for being amazing.

Everyone gradually became familiar with her, and because there were so many people who praised her, Meng Jinzhi could occasionally say 'huh', which was considered to be able to say yes, but she still couldn't speak like a normal person.

Liu Yuan still came every morning and returned at night, watching the Xiyuan where Meng Jinzhi was.Everyone saw it, admired his infatuation, and sympathized with him.

On this day, when Fang Fang praised Meng Jinzhi for her beauty, she inadvertently mentioned Liu Yuan, and told Meng Jinzhi that Liu Yuan came to the Taoist temple every day to see her, it was really pitiful.

Meng Jinzhu suddenly trembled all over, and then hugged himself tightly with his arms, shaking his head constantly, hiding in the bed shivering, tears streaming out even more.

Seeing this, Fang Fang knew something was wrong, so she hurried to ask Xu Qingqing to have a look.

Xu Qingqing prescribed a dose of calming soup for Meng Jinzhi to make her go to bed earlier, which would be better.

"In the future, no one is allowed to mention any man in front of her. There should be more daily compliments between sisters."

Everyone nodded and cooperated, but they felt sorry for Liuyuan who wanted to visit Meng Jinzhi every day.

"I look at Miss Meng's situation with a cold eye. It's probably difficult. Don't talk about seeing a man, you can't even mention it. Poor Mr. Liu's infatuation with her, he will probably have to endure it for the rest of his life." 'It's so hard." Chu Qiu sighed endlessly.

"Not yet." Xu Qingqing patted Chu Qiu, telling her not to be so pessimistic.

Xu Qingqing suddenly felt that something was wrong with her lower abdomen, so she hurriedly covered her stomach.

Seeing this, Chu Qiu hurriedly asked her what was wrong.

Xu Qingqing rolled her eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably, "It's okay, you can go about your business."

After Chu Qiu left, Xu Qingqing couldn't help humming a little tune.

"Biluo, hurry up and get the menstrual affairs."

Great, great, all worries are over, here comes her old friend!

When Zhu Di came back, he saw Xu Qingqing sitting at the table with a smile on his face, holding up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand, and gnawing on it, with his feet still swinging back and forth restlessly.

When she suddenly raised her eyes and saw him, her almond eyes were filled with a smile, and she seemed to be filled with infinite joy.

"Why are you so happy?" So that even Liu Lingxiu's disappearance couldn't affect her good mood?

"It's nothing, just suddenly very happy." Xu Qingqing smiled at Zhu Di, her eyebrows and eyes curved into a beautiful crescent shape, such a happy appearance is very contagious.

"Princess, the brown sugar water has been boiled, it's best to drink it while it's hot."

Biluo was infected and smiled happily.

"Okay." Xu Qingqing blew, then picked up the bowl and prepared to drink slowly.

Zhu Di's long and narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "Is it menstruation?"
