Bright Spring

Du Qianrui blushed and said in a panic, "Oh! My lord, please come inside."

"It's getting late..." Zhu Gaoxu closed the door, sat down on a stool, and muttered, "I reviewed the experience of going to the capital several times before, and thought something was a little strange, so I hurried to talk to Ms. Du .”

Du Qianrui asked softly, "What's so strange?"

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, and said, "That day you were waiting for me outside the Jiangdong Gate, but I didn't come. Monk Qingyuan came to see you, what did he say?"

Du Qianrui rubbed his forehead with his hand, thought about it for a while, and said, "Qingyuan asked us, did 'Mr. Zhong' see anyone in those days? I remembered that the prince was going out with that cat in his arms, so he said that he might have seen someone... ..."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "When the little nun Yao Ji of Jiming Temple was looking for a cat, I saw her, but Miss Du was not in the attic at that time. I also suddenly remembered this subtlety."

Du Qianrui said softly: "Qingyuan asked who the person he had seen was again, and I said I didn't see it. Later he asked again, and I remembered the little nun from Jiming Temple, so I mentioned her."

Zhu Gaoxu remained silent.

After a while, he finally asked, "I didn't arrive at the inn outside Jiangdongmen as scheduled, you must be very worried. What is Miss Du most worried about?"

Du Qianrui immediately replied: "At that time, I was very scared, and what I was most worried about was whether the prince was caught!"

Zhu Gaoxu fell silent again.

When it came to the little nun Yao Ji, Du Qianrui also had complicated emotions. While she felt pitiful for Yao Ji, she couldn't help feeling a little hostile.For some reason, Du Qianrui has never even met Yao Ji, but she just doesn't like her.

Maybe because Yao Ji saved Zhu Gaoxu, but Du Qianrui didn't.

But in fact all this is useless.Since Du Qianrui left home with Zhu Gaoxu, she has decided to commit herself to him... But she knows very well that King Gaoyang will have a princess, and it will definitely not be her, and it cannot be Yao Ji.

Du Qianrui already knew that most wealthy families had three wives and four concubines, but no matter how much she reasoned, she couldn't bear the thought of Zhu Gaoxu getting close to other women.It's just that there is no way.

...Zhu Gaoxu felt that something was wrong before: Qingyuan was able to find him so quickly, it was really amazing!But it turned out that he thought he was lucky, and it happened that Du Qianrui mentioned Xiao Ni.

However, now Zhu Gaoxu learned from Du Qianrui that the existence of the little nun Yao Ji was mentioned not because of Du Qianrui's meticulousness, but because of Qing Yuan's inducement!This matter is even more strange.

However, Zhu Gaoxu could not be sure about this matter.

He made a bold imagination: Suppose Yao Ji and Qing Yuan knew each other from the beginning, and she went to Monk Qing Yuan first and told Zhu Gaoxu to be with her; then everything would be fine.

Qing Yuan is a spy of Prince Yan's Mansion, so is Yao Ji?That being the case, why didn't she reveal her identity, so that it took a lot of trouble?

Zhu Gaoxu was very confused and couldn't figure it out for a while.

He stood up from the round stool, and asked nicely, "Is Miss Du used to living in this room?"

Du Qianrui said softly: "It's bigger than the wing room in the outer hall, thank you for your hospitality."

"It's been a tiring journey, Miss Du should take a rest earlier." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Zhu Gaoxu returned to his bedroom, feeling tired, but unable to fall asleep because of thinking too long, feeling very uncomfortable.It is not only the body that is uncomfortable and tangled, but also the heart.

……

Zheng He did not have the slightest rest. Starting from Beiping, he traveled non-stop day and night, and rushed to the Hutuohe Yan Army camp.

When the king of Yan saw him, he asked the soldiers to retreat, leaving only his confidants civil and military.Zheng He immediately reported the details of the capital to the King of Yan, and then said: "Suddenly something went wrong in the capital, and King Gaoyang was in a crisis, so he couldn't see the governor Chen Xuan."

"It doesn't matter." Yao Guangxiao's triangular eyes became brighter, "As long as the situation is favorable in the future, Chen Xuan will have someone to persuade him! You don't have to worry about it, my lord."

"Hmm..." King Yan made a sound, as if agreeing, but maybe not, he looked pensive.

After Zheng He finished talking about how dangerous King Gaoyang was, he escaped by hiding in a coffin. At this moment, he didn't know how King Yan felt, did he feel that he had treated King Gaoyang badly?

Zheng He couldn't fathom King Yan's thoughts, but in his heart, among King Yan's three sons, King Gaoyang worked the most and worked harder, and the other two princes almost hid in Beiping!

But what Zheng He thinks is not important, and it is impossible for him to persuade King Yan... The confidants around King Yan can comment on several princes, but Zheng He absolutely cannot!After all, although counselors are close, it is difficult to get close to King Yan's daily necessities; no matter how many schemes are proposed, the final decision can only be made by King Yan himself.

The eunuch Huang Yan is also a confidant of King Yan, but now he is sent to serve the third prince. Could it be because of this?Huang Yan's closeness to the three princes has a clear tendency.Zheng He thought of this, secretly looking forward to Huang Yan's end.

At this moment, Yao Guangxiao also stopped talking, and did not continue to persuasion tirelessly.

In fact, Yan Wang should have a certain idea in his heart that he could send the second prince to risk himself.Sure enough, he said: "If Shandong is not captured, we will have no escape route. Sheng Yong can go west at any time to cut off our food road and retreat route."

Yao Guangxiao's voice said: "Linjiang's decision to make a decision was originally a strategy with no retreat; Feng Tianjing is difficult, and there was no retreat from the beginning. Why should the prince think about retreat?"

King Yan paced slowly and walked out of the big tent, Zheng He and others followed.

When it was getting late, the flames on the other side of the Hutuo River were reflected in the sky like a fire dragon, and the sky was orange.

Chapter 1 misunderstood the meaning

The weather was getting hotter, and the bugs started making noise at some point. When they noticed the sound, it could be heard everywhere in the grass and in the corners of the walls.

The flowers in the garden of the Prince's Mansion in Gaoyang County withered, the leaves on the treetops grew densely, and weeds grew out from the gaps under the stone path.Zhu Gaoxu walked on this stone path, looking at the rippling lake while walking.

In the past, it was not easy to build this garden beyond the regulations.But Zhu Gaoxu seldom walks here, it seems almost deserted.

There is still no news of King Yan coming back from the front line, and it seems that there has been no major war recently.Without King Yan's order, Zhu Gaoxu didn't plan to go south without authorization, and it was rare to have a period of leisure in Beiping.

General Wang Bin and others seem to be dissatisfied with Yan Wang, but Zhu Gaoxu knows it very well... As long as the war continues, he will be the most attention-grabbing person among the three brothers, and it is not surprising that he is pushed to the forefront.As long as the "Battle of Jingnan" is over, the situation will change?

He turned his head to look at the utility room beyond the back door of the inner hall, and he was determined not to let Miao Jin go.No matter whether he has grievances against King Yan or not, a grasshopper on a rope must try his best to consider the overall situation of King Yan's mansion.

Zhu Gaoxu then walked towards the utility room. He first brought the ladder, and then unlocked the door.

He lowered the ladder and climbed from the utility room down to the wine cellar.When I turned my head to look, I saw Chi Yue standing up from the chair next to the table. She was wearing a plain white skirt with red lace, which contrasted with the moon-blue curtain next to her. Added a bit of vivid color.

"Is your wind and chill all over?" Zhu Gaoxu put his hand off the ladder, then turned around and asked Chi Yue.

She touched her face with her hand and said: "Don't worry, King Gao Yang, I'm already healed."

Seeing her movements, Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself: As long as it is a woman, who doesn't care about her appearance, is she worried about getting sick and looking haggard?

But in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, she couldn't see any difference.The cross-neck and half-arms are tied in the underskirt. This dress fits her very well, her figure is uneven, and her slender and slender bones give her a tenderness of weak bones and strong muscles.

Zhu Gaoxu went to the wall and brought the round stool over to sit down, pondered for a moment, then cut to the chase and said, "I can't let you out yet, I'll have to wrong you for a while."

He thought that Chi Yue would be disappointed, even annoyed, but unexpectedly she said calmly, "That's fine."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at her in confusion.

Chi Yue turned her head and glanced at him, and said softly: "If King Gao Yang lets me go, I found out what you did a while ago, should I tell my father?"

After she finished speaking, she frowned and pondered, and then said, "Now that King Gaoyang has locked me here, I have nothing to do. Instead, I don't need to be entangled in my heart, so I can save a lot of worry."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded slightly: "So you are hesitant..."

"King Gaoyang only knows now?" Chi Yue glanced at him.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and then saw her blushing.Only then did he come to his senses, and slowly said: "It's not that I don't know, on the contrary, I know the relationship very well, so I dare not let you go."
