Return with you

The East Wing is quite far away from the gate of the Wangfu. Only by walking around the pavilions and water gardens of the Wangfu, walking through the bamboo forest and rockery, and walking through the red cedar promenade, can you see the whole picture of the East Wing.

The East Wing is not big, there are only two rooms, one room where Liu Chang'an lives temporarily, and the other room is reserved for Jun Lian.

Jun Lian also knew the reason why Chang'an was hesitant to speak before, presumably it was because Sister Yun and Prince Naduan did it on purpose.

"Jingxuan, here we are, let's go into the house. The environment of the palace is ten thousand times better than that of the military camp. If there is still something missing, just tell me."

"Ah."

He wanted to close the latch, but saw Chang An frowning through the gap, and Jun Lian pushed the door open again.

"Chang'an? But what difficulties have you encountered?"

Seeing Jun Lian pushing open the unclosed door and looking at him worriedly, Liu Changan lowered his eyebrows and asked hesitantly, "Does Jing Xuan not like the clothes I chose?"

The clothes sent yesterday were all new materials and styles that the shop owner had just brought in from Jiangnan, but Jun Lian was still wearing her old, somewhat whitish clothes today.

Jun Lian only thought it was a matter of the court, but never thought that Chang'an was because of himself.

"I just washed those clothes yesterday, and I was brought to Duanwang Mansion by Sister Yun, and I asked Yue'er to dry them for me. I am very happy, thank you Chang'an."

The hand behind him couldn't help but grab the belt, Liu Changan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to be happy, Jing Xuan should rest earlier." After speaking, he walked towards the door of his room.

"Chang'an."

Hearing Jun Lian's soft call, Liu Changan stopped with his hand pushing the door, and turned to Jun Lian who was coming towards her.

Jun Lian held the sweat scarf and handed it to Chang'an's arm, "The white handkerchief was embroidered just the day before yesterday. I don't know what kind of tricks Chang'an likes, so I just ticked the word Chang'an."

After staring at the white handkerchief for a while, Liu Changan carefully took it from Jun Lian's hand, "Thank you, Jingxuan, the handkerchief is very beautiful."

"General, Miss Jun, the dinner is ready, and the prince ordered the younger one to pick you up and go to the dining room." At the corner of the corridor stood a servant, bending over and facing the two people in front of the door.

Liu Changan folded the handkerchief upright, stuffed it into his bosom and put it away, "Brother, please lead the way."

"General, Miss Jun, please."

Closing the door of Jun Lian's boudoir, Liu Changan was half a step behind Jun Lian, following the servant.

The dishes prepared for dinner are all Jun Lian's favorites.

That was what Jun Qi told Liu Changan when he was in the military camp.It was because if one day the victory returns to court, it would be a relief to eat these delicacies once.Now it really comes in handy, thanks to the abundance of ingredients in Prince Duan's mansion.

Sitting in front of the table, looking at the dishes on the table, Jun Lian couldn't help but look up at Liu Chang'an who was sitting opposite her.

Chang'an seemed to have sensed something, looked up and returned with Jun Lian's warm smile.

After dinner, Huangfu took Liu Changan to the study to discuss matters, Jun Lian and Yun Xi talked for a long time, and then returned to the boudoir in the east chamber.

As usual, Jun Lian touched his cuff, but he couldn't find the piece of red silk and golden silk thread as usual, maybe it was left in the camp, and he never brought it with him.

"Chang'an, that Fu Guo's horse has rushed to Liuyun Pavilion, I think we will know it tonight."

Liu Chang'an rubbed the tassel on the hilt of his sword, and lowered his eyes.

It's Liuyun Pavilion again, that Ma Ben is not someone who loves flowers and willows, and if his lord's eldest prince is really ill, he would never dare to leave the station at will, but if he is ordered to meet people in Liuyun Pavilion, when Let alone.

"Changan understands."

Four hours later, Liu Changan heard the noise from the west window, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

A man in black jumped out of the window, and the fish-dragon jade pendant on his waist was particularly eye-catching under the moonlight.The dark guard handed over a bundle, then jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.

After lighting the candle, Liu Changan opened the bundle, and there was a set of night clothes, a note and a jade pendant engraved with the word Zhu.

"Disguise your identity and sneak into the eldest prince's house. It would be great if you can find evidence. Don't forget to make some noise and take the opportunity to drop the jade pendant."

After burning the note and putting on his night clothes, Liu Changan also disappeared into the dark night.

"Come on! Catch the assassin! Come on! Catch the assassin!"

A loud shout broke through the darkness of silence, and the whole station suddenly became chaotic and noisy, and the lights were everywhere.

Liu Changan jumped from the somewhat messy eldest prince's room that she had rummaged through to the beams of the promenade outside the house, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Putting on a long gown casually, holding a long sword, the horse galloped in a hurry to the eldest prince's house.

Just as he was about to kick open the door, Ma Ben suddenly stopped and threw the long sword towards the beam with his backhand.

Holding the crossbeam and turning around, the flying sword blade brushed against the jade pendant hanging from his waist, cut the tether, and the jade pendant fell straight down.

Leaning over and hooking the beam, Liu Changan quickly went to grab the jade pendant, but was intercepted first by the horse running through the wooden pillar and the door.

Ma Ben approached menacingly, his bowl-sized fist hit Liu Changan's face, Liu Changan drew out the long sword nailed between the pillars and beams, and chopped at Ma Ben's arm.

The sharp blade pierced the flesh three points, Liu Changan thought of some sympathy, let go of the hilt of the sword, clamped the wooden beam with his legs, avoided the straight fist, turned over and jumped back on the beam, hugged the eaves and continued to jump to the roof. On the tiles, stepping on the blue tile roof, escape from this place of right and wrong that was disturbed by her.

"Follow me!"

Ma Ben's face was dark, and he opened the jade pendant soaked in blood in the palm of his hand. The bright red characters printed on it made his eyes hurt.

If something happened to the post station, Shi Suo would definitely come to the general's mansion to seek him back to the post station. Liu Chang'an used her half-handed lightness kung fu to be faster than the galloping horses on the street.

The gate of Prince Duan's Mansion was knocked, and Si Yan hurried to the East Chamber, and slammed the door of Liu Chang'an's room, which also woke up Jun Lian who was sleeping soundly.

As soon as he jumped into the room through the window, Liu Changan quickly took off his night clothes, took off the outer clothes hanging on the screen and put them on, and opened the door from the inside.

"General Liu, Vice General Shi is in a hurry to find you, and asked you to follow him to the station as soon as possible."

"Go and tell Shi Suo, I'll get dressed and leave immediately."

Si Yan hastily turned around and left the East Chamber.

Putting on the armor and hanging the saber around his waist, Liu Changan hugged the helmet and rushed out the door.

"Jing...Jingxuan, did I wake you up?"

Jun Lian wrapped a cloak, stood in front of the door, looked at the armored Liu Changan, and shook his head.

"Since that's the case, Jing Xuan should rest earlier, I'll go to the station first."

The lantern on the beam kept swaying in the breeze, and the shadow reflecting Jun Lian also flickered on the ground of the corridor.

"General Ma, Vice General Shi has already told me that he sent soldiers to search for the assassin throughout the city. Hearing that General Ma was injured, he brought a doctor from the hospital with him on the way. General Ma followed the doctor to bandage the wound."

Looking at the blood-stained long sword and a pool of uncoagulated blood on the ground, Liu Changan looked worried. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to hurt anyone.

"It's okay, General Liu doesn't have to worry, I don't like this little injury, please General Liu to catch the assassin as soon as possible, and give me an explanation for Fu Guo."

"Yes, on the first day that Prince Fu lived here, there was an assassin. I, Yang Chao, will never let it go." Crawling along the pole, Liu Chang'an also learned a little bit after all those years in the barracks. He said, "I don't know what's wrong with the First Prince, please trouble General Ma to go in and report, and tell Liu Chang'an to see you."

"General Liu, the eldest prince is fine, he has rested now, General Liu will try his best to catch the assassin first." Ma Ben took a step forward and blocked the door.

The intention of driving people away was clearly on the surface, Liu Changan didn't make it difficult anymore, she also knew that there was not even a shadow in the room, Ma Ben would definitely not let her in.

Presumably, the eldest prince of the Fu Kingdom should be discussing matters with Zhu Yanzhu, the Minister of Dali Temple.

Glancing at the jade pendant rope protruding from Ma Ben's clenched fist, Liu Chang'an admired Huangfu Duan who arranged everything.

Leaving behind the jade pendant that should be the secret guard of the Dali Temple Qingfu, the interest relationship between the Dali Temple Qing and the First Prince will probably be broken in an instant, and maybe there will be a good show of dog biting dog.

Dawn is approaching, it is not good to continue to search for the assassin with great fanfare, Liu Changan summoned all the soldiers back, and only a small team continued to search.

Besides, she herself is the assassin, even if she summons all the [-] troops left behind at the border, she can't find even a single person, so why bother her soldiers to do meaningless work.

After a sleepless night, Liu Changan added more guards to the post station, and ordered Shi Suo to personally lead the team to patrol the post station back and forth, and then returned to Duanwang Mansion on horseback.

Walking to the door of Prince Duan's Wei Ruixuan, Liu Changan stopped, glanced at the empty courtyard in front of the attic, turned around again, and went back to his east chamber.

Just as Shi Suo and his men turned around the corridor outside the First Prince's house, a black shadow rolled down from the roof tiles at an extremely fast speed, and pushed the window into the house.

"Prince, you are back." Ma Ben stood up from the table, bowing respectfully to the prince.

Mu Cang tore off the black scarf on his face, threw it on the bamboo rocking chair, glanced at the situation in the room, and there was another layer of gloom in his eyes.

"what happened?"

With a bang, Ma Ben knelt heavily in front of Mu Cang, holding the jade pendant with red characters in both hands and raising it above his head, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at the face of the eldest prince at this moment.

"Last night, an assassin broke into your house, Eldest Prince. He was ultimately incompetent. He only left a jade pendant on the assassin's body. I hope that the Eldest Prince will forgive him."

Glancing at the wound on Ma Ben's arm, he picked up the blood-stained jade pendant in his hand, saw the inscription on it clearly, the corner of Mu Cang's mouth twitched, he raised his arm and slammed it down, the jade pendant was immediately under Ma Ben's foot Edges disintegrated into fragments.

"A dog who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Mu Cang kicked over the wooden stool next to his feet again, still unable to dissipate his anger, "No wonder that Zhu Yan kept pushing around three times to avoid my prince's request. The prince is not here, so send someone to destroy the evidence of correspondence with the prince over the years."

"Since we have waded in muddy water, we can never expect to have a clean day! Abandoned sons are useless, and there is no need to keep them."

"Run!"

"The end is here."

"Take all the letters that Zhu Yan handed over to the prince, and immediately enter the palace and hand them to the emperor of the Yang Dynasty in person. It is right to give a big gift, so that the old emperor will feel that I Fuguo is sincerely making friends with him, and it will be more It will benefit our future plans.”

"Yes, the end will leave immediately."

Dali Siqing left the morning court, and the carriage returning home was still driving slowly on the road, but was stopped by a galloping horse, and the horseman jumped into the carriage directly.

"Master, something happened!"

Seeing the flustered face of his daughter's messenger boy, Zhu Yan's heart directly rose to his throat, "What's wrong, tell me quickly!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty originally traveled to the Imperial Garden with the Emperor. The general of the Fu Kingdom wanted to see the Emperor, so the Emperor asked the general in charge to bring the general directly to the Imperial Garden. When the General arrived, he presented a stack of letters. After giving it to the emperor, the emperor slapped the empress on the face after seeing a few photos, and scolded the empress, saying that the empress really has a good father..."

The more Zhu Yan listened, the colder his heart became, and he muttered to himself in a trance, "It's over...it's over..."

"Master, Your Majesty wants you to go back to the house quickly to pack up your belongings, and leave here with Mrs. and Young Master, Master!"

"Yes... yes... go back quickly, go back... drive the horse, hurry up!"

call-

As soon as the carriage stopped, Zhu Yan jumped out of the carriage and staggered a few steps forward.

Si Yan, the gatekeeper, ran up to Zhu Yan in a panic, and brought another bad news, "Master, the young master was beaten all over his body with injuries, and he has only one breath left!"

Out of breath, Zhu Yan rolled his eyes and passed out, and the messenger hurried forward to grab Zhu Yan's people and woke him up.

In less than half an hour, two carriages pulled out from the back gate of Dali Temple Qingfu, and hurriedly drove to the city gate.

The news that Dali Temple's Qingfu was ransacked quickly spread throughout the city, and the notice of Dali Temple Qing Zhu Yan's collusion with the enemy and traitorous country was also posted on the list, as well as the official notice of the imperial court's arrest of Zhu Yan and his son Zhu Zhu. .

After waking up from his sleep, Liu Chang'an, who went to the dining hall for lunch, got the news from Huangfu's port.

Liu Chang'an never expected that the prince of the Fu Kingdom would strike so quickly. Instead of watching a dog-eat-dog show, he watched a mantis catching a cicada, and her sparrow was also a good time to prey.
