After marriage and marriage, I became the favorite of the group

Ruan Jiu didn't want to hide, on the contrary, Ruan Jiu also missed He Lianzhu.

The carriage left Tianxiang Street, Ruan Jiu sat in the carriage, folded his hands, drowsy.

Ruan He hugged his shoulders, helped him adjust his posture, let him lean on the pillow, so that he could sleep more comfortably.

Ruan Jiu wrinkled his nose, and his unconscious voice was very vague: "Little pig, don't move around, I'm so sleepy."

Ruan He paused, thought for a while, but still didn't care much, so he continued.

But Master Ruan stretched out his hand and hit Ruan Jiu hard: "Little bastard, get up!"

Ruan Jiu jumped up and almost hit the roof of the carriage.He sat firmly, put on a defensive posture, and looked around: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

"Who did you call out to your brother just now? Who did you call out to?"

Ruan Jiu hid behind his brother: "Who? I don't know!"

"Little pig, little pig, you still can't forget him when you're away from Jiwu." While beating Ruan Jiu, Master Ruan wanted to pull Ruan He over, "You're worthless, you still think of your brother as him."

Ruan Jiu tightly hugged his elder brother's waist, he was almost wronged to death: "I didn't do it on purpose, every time I was about to fall asleep, he would come and mess with me, I'm used to it..."

"You still said that he didn't bully you, he didn't even let you sleep, and you also said that he didn't bully you."

All the way back to the Ruan Mansion, Master Ruan was still sullen and very angry.

Ruan Jiu's drowsiness completely dissipated, he pulled his elder brother and was about to run away, before running a few steps, he bumped into his mother.

She stood under the eaves before the servants lit the lanterns.

She also had a sullen face, and asked coldly, "Where did you go? The three of you."

Ruan Jiu immediately stood beside his mother and glanced at Master Ruan.

A bad premonition rose from Master Ruan's heart.

Ruan Jiu said to his mother: "Father took me and brother to Tianxiang Street to listen to the music, if my brother and I hadn't urged father to come back quickly, father still refused to come back..."

"Ma'am, he's talking nonsense!"

Master Ruan wanted to drag Ruan Jiu over, but Ruan Jiu hid behind his mother and shook his tail and ears vigorously, which represent filial piety and "filial piety".

"Mother, brother and I are both sleepy, can we go back to sleep first?"

"Go." Madam Ruan patted his head, "Good night, mother's little boy."

Although wearing a crown, she will always be mother's little darling.

Ruan Jiu obediently said "good night" to his mother, and then pulled his elder brother to leave.

After the crowning ceremony is over, Ruan Jiu has to go back to Jiwu.

If I don't go back again, when it's winter, there will be snow everywhere, and it will be even more difficult to walk.

Although Ruan Jiu was extremely reluctant, he had to start packing his luggage.

A few days before leaving, Ruan He wanted to take him to meet someone.

"who's that?"

"You'll know when you arrive."

Ruan He pushed him into a carriage. The doors and windows of the carriage were sealed so that no one could see the outside scenery.

Sitting in the carriage, Ruan Jiu couldn't ask any more questions from his brother, and he couldn't tell the direction by hearing the sound of the wheels.At first, I could still feel that the carriage was going straight forward, but after turning a few turns, Ruan Jiu couldn't tell the difference.

Ruan He couldn't help but want to laugh when he watched him go from being alert with his ears pricked up to giving up completely and slumping on his seat.

"It's okay, brother will not sell you."

"That's why I'm so relaxed."

I don't know how long it took before the carriage stopped.

Ruan Jiu followed his elder brother out of the carriage, and found that this was the back door of an ordinary courtyard with green tiles.

Ruan He stepped forward to knock on the door, someone inside opened the door a little, whispered a few words to Ruan He, and then opened the door completely.

Ruan He turned his head and waved to Ruan Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, come."

"Eh."

Ruan Jiu went in with his elder brother, but he didn't find any difference in this Qingwa small courtyard.

It's too ordinary, so ordinary that it has no characteristics.

Ruan He led him into the main hall. There was a big round table in the main hall. There was no one else but a young man in a wheelchair sitting on the main seat.

Ruan Jiu looked at him, and he also looked at Ruan Jiu with a smile.

Ruan He stepped forward to salute: "Your Highness, this is Brother Sister."

Ruan Jiu took a closer look at him before he understood: "His Royal Highness."

The prince smiled and nodded his head: "Xiaohe, your brother is very smart."

Ruan Jiu raised his head again, and suddenly saw a person squatting on the beam above the crown prince's head, Liu Changming.

He is probably still stupid, but he really likes to squat on the beams.

He no longer likes to stick to Ruan Jiu, because Ruan Jiu always likes to bully him, take away his sheep, and let him imitate his own movements.

The prince followed his gaze and looked up, smiled: "I see you laugh."

He raised his hand, made a gesture, and Liu Changming jumped off the beam with a bang, and knelt down beside the prince on one knee.

The prince touched his head, and said softly: "Go and see if Xiaoba is here."

Ruan Jiu followed his elder brother and sat down on the seat. Not long after, Liu Changming came in with a person.

Xiao Mingyuan.

When he saw the prince, he was startled and said, "Brother, aren't you recuperating in Zhuangzi?"

The prince smiled: "If I recuperated in Zhuangzi, you would not only have to kneel for three days a few years ago, but also rely on me to take care of it."

Xiao Mingyuan touched the tip of his nose embarrassingly, and then saw Ruan Jiu: "Why are you here?"

Ruan Jiu said: "I came here with my brother."

The prince said: "If you like to be with the younger brother of the Ruan family, sit next to him. Hurry up, I have something to say."

Xiao Mingyuan sat down beside Ruan Jiu, and then the crown prince took out a few letters from his sleeve and put them on the table: "This time, it's thanks to the younger brother of the Ruan family, otherwise we wouldn't be able to find out. It turns out that there is such a scum in the Liang court .”

He looked at Ruan He: "Originally Xiaohe didn't want me to tell the younger brother of the Ruan family about this, but after thinking about it, the younger brother of the Ruan family discovered this first, so I should give it to the younger brother of the Ruan family." Tell me, right?"

He looked at Ruan Jiu again, and Ruan Jiu nodded: "Yes."

The crown prince smiled: "I also know that Xiaohe doesn't want his younger brother to be involved in this kind of thing, so he deliberately picked the Ruan family brother to tell him a few days before his departure. In this way, Xiaohe can rest assured. "

He looked serious: "In the past few months, I have sent more people to check the handwriting of officials and their families in the DPRK. I must praise Shijiu for this... Oh, Liu Changming, Shijiu's new name."

"I also found a few counselors to decipher these secret letters. In addition, the younger brother of the Ruan family provided the clues of 'Liang Guotong' Ashina. We first judged that the writing of the last few Chinese letters came from the British Palace. Staff."

"These letters, although they were written about horse fodder transactions, it has been confirmed that there has been no transaction between Daliang and Jiwu for a long time after the date on which the letters were written."

"It is certain that these letters refer to something else. After deciphering by scribes, it is certain that the horse fodder on these letters refers to something else. The horses refer to the soldiers of our Daliang; the fodder refers to the front lines of our Daliang. food."

"The transportation of horses is the death and injury of soldiers; the transaction of fodder is the stock of food; every time a transaction is successful, the city falls."

"The place where the letter stops is..." The prince took a deep breath, "It's the place where Xiaohe and I were defeated."

Xiao Mingyuan was already furious: "Brother, let's go see Father Emperor now."

The crown prince shook his head: "Father would not believe it just based on the letter. Besides, the letter was written by an aide. How can it be determined that it is the King of England? It can be said that it was done by an aide in private."

"Besides, I haven't been able to find out for the time being what he did to cause our army to retreat steadily."

"It was also when he sent the letter for the last time that Changshou noticed the clue, and was poisoned by his subordinates and thrown on the battlefield. I originally sent him to protect Xiaohe."

He sighed, looked at Liu Changming, and quickly turned his gaze back: "Let's talk about the first few letters. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't been able to find out. , Who wrote it. Not all the officials in the court and China know how to speak, and not all have written it, so it is not easy to compare handwriting."

Ruan Jiu asked, "Wouldn't the King of England speak loudly?"

The prince shook his head: "I know, he won't."

"Then do you want to look further?"

"What does brother Ruan mean?"

"Look further forward, looking for the one before the last defeat and the last defeat. Has anyone checked it?"

The crown prince pinched his brows and thought about it for a while: "Yes, there is, but he is already dead."

Xiao Mingyuan asked anxiously: "Brother, who is it?"

The prince's eyes were sharp, and he forced Xiao Mingyuan back: "Your fourth brother."

Xiao Mingyuan fell back on the chair, dazed.

It was the fourth prince who went to the battlefield before the prince.He grew up in the frontier, and he understands Jiwu dialect and Jiwu people better than he knows Daliang.

King Ying always stays in Yong'an City, and I'm afraid there is no way to contact He Liancheng. If it is him, then everything makes sense.

But the prince obviously didn't want to discuss these matters with them at this time.

"Okay, now that this matter is mentioned, it can be regarded as an explanation to the Ruan family brother. The Ruan family brother can return home with peace of mind. I will take care of the next thing." The prince smiled reluctantly at Ruan Jiu. She smiled, "Don't worry, your brother Xiaohe will be fine."

As the prince said, he just wanted to give Ruan Jiu an explanation, and soon let Ruan He take him away.

Before leaving, he even gave him some snacks for him to take with him on the way to eat, but told him to eat them all before getting off the carriage.

After the Ruan family brothers left, the prince raised his hand and asked Xiao Mingyuan to come to him.

"Xiaoba." The prince patted the back of his hand, "You are willing to fight, brother is very pleased."

"Brother, I don't want to be with you..."

"I know, you just don't want to fight with me, so you always avoid them." The prince said softly, "But brother's leg is no longer good, and a cripple cannot ascend the throne."

He decided: "That's why my elder brother wants you to be the emperor. My elder brother thinks that you have a strong mind and you can learn other things slowly. Do you want to learn?"

To Ruan Jiu, this trip to Qingwa Alley was like a dream.

In his dream, he knew the things that had troubled him for several years, and he also knew the real murderer who hurt his brother.

Ruan Jiu was still in a daze until he got off the carriage.

He looked at his elder brother: "Brother..."

"It's okay." Ruan He touched his temples, "Brother is fine."

"But my brother almost had an accident!"

"Okay, you should prepare to go back to Jiwu earlier, the prince will take care of the matters here."

Ruan Jiu pursed his lips and was about to cry. He looked around for a weapon: "Brother told me on purpose at this time, I'm going to kill someone!"

Ruan He covered his mouth and dragged him back.
