Your Highness, has he stopped today?

Hearing the sound of pushing the door and entering, Shi Yunjing thought it was Lu Zheyu who had come, and brought up the hangover soup again, looking at the dark thing with disgust: "This thing is too bad to drink, you Come and feed me."

The visitor was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, walked up to him and bowed in salute: "Your Highness."

When Shi Yunjing heard that the voice was not Lu Zheyu, she turned her head to look, coughed lightly, put down the hangover soup, touched her nose to hide her embarrassment: "Chu Heng, what's the matter?"

He got off the couch in his middle coat, took a long gown from the rack and draped it over his shoulders.

Chu Heng took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Your Highness was hungover yesterday. When I was a child, my subordinates saw Mr. Lu leaving the Mingluan Palace. They were worried about Mr. Lu's safety, so they sent someone to follow quietly. After leaving the palace , he went to the west of the city, and his subordinates said that Mr. Lu was too good at lightness kung fu, so he had no choice but to lose him..."

Shi Yunjing considered for a moment and asked, "When did he come back?"

Chu Heng replied: "Three quarters of Yin time."

Shi Yunjing's expression was slightly restrained, and it was only after a while that he said silently: "What are you doubting?"

Chu Heng narrowed his eyes and expressed his doubts: "A few days ago, outsiders broke into Mingluan Hall, and my subordinates are worried that these two things are related."

Shi Yunjing couldn't help having a headache again, the aftermath of the hangover was really too great.It's just that he is very sober now, Chu Heng's suspicion is not unreasonable, presumably Lu Zheyu has something to hide from him.

"You suspect that the person who broke into the Mingluan Hall was Lu Zheyu's."

Chu Heng was in a bit of a dilemma. There was no evidence at this time, so how could he be suspicious of His Highness for no reason.

"Your Highness, do you need your subordinates to pass on to Mr. Lu?"

Shi Yunjing hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "No need, you don't have evidence, he won't admit it. Let's stand still and strengthen the defense. If someone breaks into the palace again, I don't care what his lightness kung fu is, I must give it to you." Catch it and live."

"Yes."

"Go down."

Chu Heng saluted, and was about to turn around and leave when Shi Yunjing frowned slightly, closed her eyes, pressed her fingers on her temples, and said involuntarily, "Subordinate, please come and invite the imperial physician?"

"No need." Shi Yunjing waved his hand, then thought again and said, "You'd better go and call Lu Zheyu and let him accompany me."

"...Yes." Chu Heng responded and left, thinking that His Highness would find Mr. Lu whenever he felt uncomfortable. Presumably Mr. Lu is an existence with His Highness who can cure all diseases.

Lu Zheyu was counting and storing the congratulatory gifts from yesterday's birthday with Xue Hongsheng, but was called by Shi Yunjing before he finished counting.He guessed that Shi Yunjing had nothing important to do with him, so he walked into the Lingyin Pavilion, and saw him sitting in front of the couch in a middle coat, a long gown, no crown, and a lazy appearance.

"How is Your Highness feeling better today?" Lu Zheyu asked.

Shi Yunjing looked up at him, then looked away again. "It's not as bad as yesterday."

"If you still feel uncomfortable, I will pass it on..."

"Where did you go last night?" Shi Yunjing interrupted him directly.

Lu Zheyu was slightly taken aback, he never thought that Shi Yunjing knew about it.He collected himself and said truthfully, "I'm out of the palace."

"What's the matter?" Shi Yunjing looked up at him.

Lu Zheyu hesitated for a moment, then said lightly: "People from the Hou family sent a letter from home."

Shi Yunjing stood up, walked over, and stretched out her hand in front of him: "Where's the letter from home?"

Lu Zheyu was stunned, and silently took out a letter from his bosom, and handed it to him.

Shi Yunjing took the letter over and took a look, the wax seal was just opened, and the envelope said "Zheyu's own letter".His expression was dark, and he looked at him with a frown: "Can I see it?"

Lu Zheyu knew that he was testing him, so he nodded.

Shi Yunjing took out the letter and quickly scanned it from beginning to end. The content was mostly words of concern, and the signature was "Lu Chi".

Shi Yunjing naturally knew about Lu Chi.The well-known Marquis of Dingyuan in the Chen Kingdom was also the General of Changsheng, who his uncle called a matchmaker.

In addition to family affairs, there is no explanation for other things.Shi Yunjing let out a sigh of relief as if rejoicing, folded the letter and put it back in the envelope and handed it back to him: "Yesterday you left the palace with a letter from the palace?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you let the post house deliver the letter?" Shi Yunjing sat at the small table just for this cover, "You go out of the palace alone in the middle of the night, if the guards find out, they will definitely regard you as an assassin."

"I don't know how many people will pass through the hands of this letter sent from the Chen Guo Post Office. If this letter is used by someone with a heart, I'm afraid I will be hard to argue with it." Lu Zheyu stood in front of him and closed his eyes, and replied quietly. "I'm a hostage after all, and I can't leave the Chu Palace on weekdays, so I had to make a bad move. If His Highness wants to punish you, I will plead guilty."

Shi Yunjing frowned, sighed, pulled aside the stool beside him to signal him to sit down, and said: "You know that I won't punish you for any crime, so what do you say is useless." He paused, He still felt that he still had something to hide, but he couldn't press it step by step, so he could only say, "Next time, you can just tell me directly, I will help you, and I won't let you jump over the wall and leave the palace in the middle of the night. "

Lu Zheyu sat down with mixed emotions in his heart, but when he opened his mouth, there was only one sentence left: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Although the letter from home was true, what happened last night was obviously more than just the letter from home.

Coincidentally at this time, Shi Yunjing said again: "No matter what, you can't lie to me." He raised his eyes, "I trust you so much."

Shi Yunjing's heart skipped a beat.

From the very beginning when he entered Chen country and was a companion student, he was using him, and everything he planned was hidden from him.Is this a lie to him?

But what if we don't?Let him be a hostage in this Chu country for the rest of his life?Let the Dingyuan army always bear the name of a defeated army, and let the Chen State always be inferior to the Chu State?

"Can you promise me?" Shi Yunjing stared at him closely.

Lu Zheyu remained silent.

"Say you can." Shi Yunjing tightened her five fingers, her eyes staring at him began to turn slightly red. "Say it!"

"Yes." Lu Zheyu said lightly, frowning. "Are you satisfied?"

Shi Yunjing bit his lip, this obviously perfunctory response made him bear it for a long time, and finally said shortly: "Get out."

Lu Zheyu had no way to promise him anything, so he just said "resignation", and quickly left Lingyin Pavilion.

Shi Yunjing opened her mouth watching his disappearing back, but couldn't say anything.He clenched his fist, and suddenly knocked all the tea sets on the table to the ground. There was a sharp impact sound, and the porcelain shattered all over the ground. Chu Heng heard the sound and came in, and this was what he saw.

Sunlight came in from the window, against the light, he sat motionless at the table with his head bowed, his figure was lonely and his face was lifeless.

For several days, Lu Zheyu didn't sleep well.He was used to sleeping in the military camp before, so he was a light sleeper, since that day when he had an awkward fight with Shi Yunjing, he had something on his mind, and even lay on the bed for an hour or two and found it difficult to fall asleep.

These days, the two of them talked less.If there was no need to go to Yinghua Hall for class in the morning, Lu Zheyu would stay in Mingluan Hall to read books, while Shi Yunjing went to Shenshu Camp early in the morning.Because Ye Hanshan, the commander of the imperial army, was his teacher, Shi Yunjing still had a idle job in Shenshu Camp.

In the early morning of this day, after Lu Zheyu finished his breakfast, he was sitting on the railing of the corridor in the courtyard reading a book. At this moment, a guard dressed as a forbidden army came, claiming to be a member of the Shenshu Camp, and asked to meet the Sixth Highness. .

Lu Zheyu looked at him, then led him into the hall.

The imperial guard entered the hall and knelt down on one knee to salute: "My subordinates will refer to His Highness the Sixth Highness."

Shi Yunjing glanced at Lu Zheyu first, then slightly raised his hand to signal him to excuse him: "What's the matter?"

The imperial army said: "Late last night, a group of thieves attacked the east gate of Xingcheng at night, and all the guards were killed. It was only discovered when they were on duty in the early morning of this morning. At this time, there are probably thieves who have sneaked into the city. Commander Ye has already reported this to His Majesty, Ask His Highness to lead a team to rush to the city to investigate."

Shi Yunjing frowned, and quickly asked: "Do you know where the thief came from?"

"According to the on-site investigation, it seems that Chen Guo's secret agents did it."

Hearing this, Lu Zheyu was stunned.He felt for a moment that Feng Yang did this, but he also felt that it was impossible.Feng Yang once said that if he takes action, he must be informed in advance, so that he can cooperate internally and externally.

Shi Yunjing was also taken aback for a moment, he glanced at Lu Zheyu subconsciously, and remembered that Chu Heng said a few days ago that outsiders broke into the Mingluan Palace, he vaguely felt that these two things were related, but he didn't know where the joint was. where.

Shi Yunjing collected himself and ordered, "Prepare the horses and let the people from the Shenshu camp gather at the gate of the palace."

"Yes." The guard responded quickly, turned and left.

Shi Yunjing thought for a moment, and then said: "If it is really Chen Guo's spies, then their purpose is definitely not as simple as Xingcheng. Chu Heng, you don't have to follow me, stay in the palace, if you have something important, immediately Send someone to report to the king."

Chu Heng hesitated for a moment. As a guard from the Xiao Mansion, he was supposed to protect Shi Yunjing every inch of the way, but now that the master has asked him again, he had no choice but to bow down and obey: "I obey."

Shi Yunjing's temples were throbbing, and he felt uneasy again: "There is also Lanyue Temple, you send some people to the princess to have a look."

"Yes."

After explaining everything, he was about to leave when Lu Zheyu stepped forward to stop him, with a slightly anxious expression on his face: "Your Highness, can you take me with you?"

Shi Yunjing frowned and glanced at him: "What are you going to do?"

Lu Zheyu calmed down, and said: "Although I can't be sure whether those people are the secret agents of Chen Guo, if they are, I can deal with them."

Shi Yunjing narrowed her eyes, as if she was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.Lu Zheyu expressed eagerness: "Your Highness, the important thing is the most important thing."

"...Let's go." Shi Yunjing took the cloak handed over by the attendant and put it on her body, strode away from Mingluan Hall, followed by Lu Zheyu.

Shi Yunjing led a team from the Shenshu Camp out of the palace, and after patrolling for nearly an hour, it seemed that everything in Xingcheng was still as usual.Until walking towards the east of the city, a sharp arrow protruded from the window of the pavilion on the side of the street, and the tip of the arrow was aimed at Shi Yunjing.
