Stunning beauty

early morning.

Shou'an Palace.

Led by the servant, a middle-aged man hurried into the hall with his head down.

"Grassman Liu Heng, pay homage to Your Majesty."

After entering the hall, Liu Heng didn't even dare to look at the emperor in front of him. He knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice.

"stand up!"

Shang Huang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Say, what's going on?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Heng got up, took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it out, stammeringly said, "Here, this is what His Highness Fourth Highness pawned in Cao Min's pawnshop. Seeing that the jade pendant belonged to the palace, Cao Min went to find the jade pendant." I got an aunt who was on duty in the palace to identify it, and she said that only princes can wear this item."

After Emperor Shang's death, the servant quickly stepped forward to take the jade pendant, and then handed it to His Majesty in front of him, saying excitedly, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the personal jade pendant of His Highness the Fourth Highness."

The jade pendant inlaid with gold and jade is engraved with a four-clawed dragon, and on the back of the jade pendant, there is a character "四" engraved, which clearly shows the identity of the owner of the jade pendant.

Shang Huang stared at the jade pendant, his usual gloomy face could not help but feel a little moved at this moment.

It's Bai'er's jade pendant, that's right!

Bai'er is still alive!

"Where are the people!"

Soon, Emperor Shang suppressed the waves in his heart, raised his head, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and said in a deep voice.

"Youzhou City." Liu Heng replied respectfully.

When the Emperor Shang heard the words, his expression became slightly condensed, Youzhou is not close to the capital, how could Bai'er get there.

In addition, if Bai'er is fine, why hasn't he come back?

"The commander of Xuanzhuang is here."

After a short thought, Emperor Shang came back to his senses and ordered.

"Yes!"

In the hall, the servant took the order and left quickly to deliver the order.

Not long after, Zhuang Shisan, the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, entered the hall, saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty!"

"Zhuang Shisan, you personally take someone to Youzhou, where His Highness the Fourth Highness once appeared. You travel lightly, go and return quickly, and bring the Fourth Highness back safely!" Emperor Shang stared at the man in front of him Commander of the Forbidden Army ordered.

"Yes!"

Zhuang Shisan respectfully took the order.

"Your name is Liu Heng, right?"

Shang Huang turned his gaze, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and said, "You go back with Commander Zhuang Da, as long as you find the fourth prince, I will reward you a lot."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Heng quickly knelt down, kowtowed and thanked him.

"Go."

Shang Huang waved his hand and said.

"The minister (grassman) resigns."

Zhuang Shisan and Liu Heng took orders and left together immediately.

After the two left, in the hall, Emperor Shang took the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it again and again. After a long time, he ordered, "Give the jade pendant to the queen."

"Yes!"

Behind him, the servant took orders, stepped forward to take the jade pendant, and left quickly.

Two quarters later.

In Weiyang Palace, Empress Changsun trembled when she saw the jade pendant sent by her servant, her expression froze completely.

The next moment, tears flowed silently from the sockets of both eyes.

At the side, Murong saw the jade pendant in the queen mother's hand, and couldn't help turning his head away, reaching out his hand to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes.

"Go down, I want to be quiet."

After a few breaths, Empress Changsun suppressed the waves in her heart and ordered.

"Yes!"

In the hall, a group of servants took orders and left one after another.

"Murong."

After everyone left, Empress Changsun shook the jade pendant tightly and asked, "Did you already know about this?"

Murong was stunned when he heard this, and asked in puzzlement, "Why did the queen mother say such a thing?"

"Because your recent behavior is very abnormal."

Empress Changsun looked at her daughter in front of her, and said with a complicated expression, "You were born by me. I can tell that there is something wrong with you at a glance. However, I thought you were married because of your father's marriage." It is because of the resistance in your heart that you speak and act abnormally. Now that you think about it, it is not the case. The last time you asked me to fight for you for half a month, now it is almost exactly half a month. Tell me, where did you get the news. "

When Murong heard what his mother said, he sighed softly, knowing that he couldn't hide it anymore, he replied truthfully, "Brother, Li Jiaoxi sent someone to rescue him."

"Professor Li?"

Empress Changsun was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, her gaze sank, and she said, "No, are you plotting something? Li Jiaoxi's saving your brother is a great achievement, there is no need to hide it."

Speaking of this, Empress Changsun seemed to have thought of something, and continued to ask, "How many people still know about this matter?"

"Apart from my daughter, there are only aunts and cousins."

Murong replied, looked out of the window, and murmured softly, "Li Jiaoxi wants to remove all obstacles before the prince's position for the elder brother, so he has been hiding this matter for a long time. Now, the time has come, and the elder brother should come back. gone."

Just when Emperor Shang and Empress Changsun received the news that Mu Bai was still alive.

I don't know where, the barren mountains and wild mountains.

A small courtyard was isolated, and in the room in the courtyard, Mu Bai spread out the package and packed things carefully.

The Longyuan sword had to be taken away.

The dragon scales given by Brother Li had to be taken away, and after returning to the palace, they needed to find the swordsmith in the palace to forge Longyuan again.

There is also the blood of the snake, which is useful for tempering the sword.

Change clothes?

Forget it, just bring one or two pieces, there will be more after returning to the palace.

It seems that there is nothing else to bring.

At this moment, outside the house, Xi Feng came in with the food and said, "Your Highness, let's go after eating."

In the room, Mu Bai looked at Uncle Xi's painstakingly cooking the meal, nodded lightly, and replied, "Okay."

Xi Feng put the food on the table, handed over the bowl and chopsticks, and said, "Eat more, on the way, there will be no one to cook for His Highness."

Mu Bai was silent, took the bowl and chopsticks, and ate the food on the table bite by bite. After counting for ten breaths, he said softly, "Uncle Xi, let's go to the capital if you have time."

"Have a chance."

Xifeng nodded and said, "By the way, Ye Xuanji is in the Taixue Palace. Your Highness can go and see her when she is free."

When Mu Bai heard the three words Ye Xuanji, he couldn't help but tremble, and his face turned paler.

That unbearable memory, no matter when I think of it, is creepy.

It didn't take long to eat a meal. The food cooked by Xifeng, not to mention delicious in color and fragrance, was at least edible. It was many times better than Ye Xuanji's terrible cooking skills.

After Mu Bai had his meal, he was ready to set off.

However, just as he was about to leave, Mu Bai stopped again, turned around, and asked, "Uncle Xi, can I come back later?"

"I can't."

In the room, while tidying up the dishes, Xifeng replied calmly, "Young master said that when His Highness returns this time, he must take up the burden of the prince, and he cannot be self-willed anymore."

Hearing this, Mu Bai sighed lightly, turned around and left without saying anything.

Today, he finally understood what brother Li's words meant.

In life, there are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things.

Can no longer be willful.
