Young people always do things with a bit of recklessness. When Chu Ran rode his horse and ran out of the city, he remembered that he didn't know which direction Lu Xiang left from.

The city leads in all directions, and I don't know which road Lu Xiang chose. After wandering outside the city gate for a while, she turned back to the Hou Mansion.

Liancheng was feeding the horses at the gate of the Hou's mansion. Seeing her returning lonely, he handed the grass to the boy next to him and said, "What's the matter with you being so unhappy, but you're at odds with your sister again?"

Chu Ran didn't answer. He climbed up the steps, and Liancheng followed. He scratched his head, not understanding why she was lonely.Following her all the way into the yard, seeing her packing her luggage, she subconsciously asked, "Where is Your Highness going?"

"Go back to Yingdu." Chu Ran simply packed up a few simple robes, and after sweeping around the furnishings in the house, he went to say goodbye to Marquis Changping.

Marquis Chang Ping didn't find it strange, but told her: "Take care on the road, I'll let a group of people follow you, and don't talk to others along the way. In addition, don't meddle in the prince's affairs, Lu Xiang has already agreed to it. My kindness."

Lu Shi has clear grievances and grudges, and he must repay the kindness he has received.

Marquis Changping mentioned that the prince was in danger, and she agreed without thinking about it. The assassin is in her hands, and with her current strength, it is not difficult to reverse the case for the prince.

The important thing is that she is recuperating, and others will not be wary of her.

"It's so good, grandfather, Aran will go back to Yingdu first. Although the prince's situation is safe and sound, I'm not at ease. I'm leaving today." Chu Ran's expression is not very good, and he can't tell who is What are you thinking.

Marquis Changping immediately ordered ten people to escort her all the way back to Yingdu.

Liancheng sent the man outside the city gate. During spring and summer, the sun was very strong, and a thin layer of sweat formed on the man's body. Chu Ran blushed, grabbed the rein, and said to Liancheng: " Soon, His Majesty may issue an order for you to go to Yingdu, then you should pay more attention and don't let others take advantage of your loopholes."

Liancheng responded, Chu Ran didn't say anything, and rode away, followed by the soldiers all the way.

Going south from the northwest city, the hot feeling will dissipate a little bit, and the greenery everywhere can't stop the scorching sun. Many men on the official road are topless. Looking at people, Chu Ran can't help but close his eyes and ride his horse. run wildly.

These are the men escorting the darts, the heat was unbearable, and they had to hurry, so they took off their shirts and left.

After Chu Ran entered the city, he wanted to stay in a post house, but remembered that he came from the northwest, and once he entered the post house, his whereabouts would be exposed, so he chose an inn.

She followed the way back to Yingdu and chased him all the way, but she never saw Lu Shi, which was quite strange.She didn't see Lu Shi until she chased Yingdu City.

At this time, it is not easy for her to go back to the Princess Mansion, so she wandered outside the city for an hour, intending to go to the East Palace to meet the Crown Prince, so she disguised herself to deceive others.

As soon as Lu Xiangfang returned to Beijing, she followed him back. His Majesty was suspicious and would definitely guess about the meeting between the two of them.

She asked someone to find a set of Forbidden Army uniforms, which is convenient after entering the palace. The East Palace is different from His Majesty's Harem.There is no concubine in the East Palace, and the prince is only fifteen years old. In addition to his poor health, he has never been married.

The palace is strict, and the East Palace is full of princes, forming a world of its own. Although the queen is in charge of the harem, the East Palace dare not touch it.After entering the palace carefully, she walked to the East Palace on a path that was not crowded.

When detouring the pear orchard, her footsteps stopped, and there was a voice in front of her. She carefully hid herself in the grass, and listened to the movement outside with her breath held.

The emperor was forty years old, with a tall stature and dull skin. It is said that he has been taking pills for years to prolong his life.He and Lu Shi were strolling in the pear garden, talking about the assassination of the prince.

Lu Shi was there at the time, and left in a hurry after only showing one side. He didn't trust anyone in his heart, and he had many doubts about the prince's assassination. It happened that she came back today, so he asked her a question.

Lu Shi followed the emperor's footsteps, and replied: "I don't know what it is, but when my subordinates went to the river, they happened to see a person acting strangely, and they thought they were here to assassinate the minister. They became suspicious and took the opportunity to kill him." Captured. Who would have known that just after he was captured, General Xiao Ming came with someone in a hurry, saying that he was to capture the assassin who assassinated the crown prince."

"Oh, there is such a thing?" The emperor looked sideways, his eyes gradually turned indifferent, as cold as a cold wind.

Lu Shi's expression did not change, he raised his sleeves and said: "The subordinate did not dare to reveal the whereabouts of the minister, so he directly took him back, and he is still locked up in the mansion now, does your majesty want to see him?"

The emperor didn't answer, just staring at Lu Shi who was leaning over to salute, his footsteps just stopped, and Chu Ran could see his indifferent face with his probe.The gaze he stared at Lu Xiang seemed to be scrutinizing, but also suspicious, and it was bright and coercive.

Chu Ran suddenly summed up a word, which is suspicion.

Belonging to the suspicion of the emperor.

Lu Shi just mentioned that he caught a suspicious assassin, which made him so suspicious. If the two get married, I'm afraid it will really ruin Lu Shi's future.Chu Ran, who was hiding in the clump, felt a chill in his heart.

Lu Shi, who was deep in the vortex of suspicion, didn't seem to have noticed the emperor's thoughts, and his posture was modest. Seeing that the emperor didn't answer, he bowed his head even deeper, and Chu Ran gritted his teeth.

I don't know how long he paused, but the emperor had enough examination, and said: "Then you bring the assassin to my face, and I will see him."

The emperor's expression softened a little, and his eyes moved to the depths of the pear garden. Hearing this, Lu Shi stood up straight, blocking the emperor's gaze, and said as usual: "Is this the minister's order to bring him here?"

Lu Xiang was attractive, dressed in court clothes, not to mention elegant and dignified, and his neither humble nor overbearing attitude made people very comfortable.The emperor's eyes lingered on her jade-like face, and he left after a while.

Although the beauty is good, it belongs to others.

Although Lu Shi was beautiful, it belonged to Chu Ran. He didn't want to look at it anymore, so as not to lose his manners, he said, "When I return to the palace, I will order someone to go to your house to pick it up. The pear orchard is beautiful, so Lu Xiang should take a look."

Chu Ran's face changed drastically. The pear blossoms in the courtyard had already fallen. Where did the scenery come from? This is Lu Xiang imprisoned here!

Lu Shi nodded in response, "I accept orders."

The emperor left with his servants, leaving the imperial army to guard the place, not allowing Lu Shi to take half a step.

The pear blossoms in the pear orchard were gone, only the green leaves remained. Lu Shi raised his head, the sun fell on his chin, his skin was crystal clear like jade, he seemed to be regretting, but also seemed to be thinking deeply.

After a while, she turned around, looked at the figure in the grass, felt amused, walked over, and whispered: "Your Majesty is gone, and you can't get out either."

Chu Ran was embarrassed. He didn't expect to be exposed so quickly. He stood up and patted the grass clippings on his body. "Lu Xiang seems very happy that he was banned here by His Majesty?"

"Why did Your Highness enter the palace?" Lu Shi looked her up and down, and the clothes of the imperial army were set according to the rank of the person.Chu Ran's body should be that of the ordinary last-class imperial guards, and in summer, the clothes are thin, the belt is almost attached to the waist, and the waist is delicate.

She frowned, and said again: "Your Highness's outfit is too absurd, even if you can't enter the palace in a fair manner at this time, you can't dress like this." Just now, if His Majesty takes a second look, he will reveal his secrets.

Chu Ran didn't care about it, and hid in the bushes and dared not come out. Lu Shi was angry and funny, and said helplessly: "No one in the garden dares to come in, you can come out boldly."

Chu Ran didn't move, her face was flushed, and the large beads of sweat on her forehead were crystal clear and slipped off in the blink of an eye. She raised her hand and wiped it without moving.

Lu Shi looked her up and down, his eyes softened, and finally fixed his eyes on her legs: "Is your leg numb?"

Chu Ran's face was flushed, and she was too nervous to move just now. After a long time, her legs and feet must have become numb.She simply sat down and rubbed it through her boots.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shi also squatted down, his eyes were at the same level as hers, and he said, "You want to see the prince when you enter the palace?"

"En." Chu Ran bowed his head in response, then fell silent.

Summer is very hot, the trees in the pear orchard are lush, and when the sun shines in, it is not so hot.

There were hurried footsteps outside, Chu Ran raised his head in panic, but Lu Shi calmly said: "That's the sound of the imperial army surrounding here, don't be nervous."

How could Chu Ran not be nervous, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said worriedly: "Why is this, Your Majesty?"

During the questioning, her eyes were bright, and she was full of puzzlement. Even if His Majesty didn't believe it, she shouldn't directly trap people in the palace.

Lu Shi looked indifferent, staring at Chu Ran without saying a word.Chu Ran is only 15 years old now, less of the vicissitudes of the previous life, more of wantonness.If she had been cautious in her previous life, she definitely would not have broken into the palace privately.

By mistake, she was with her.

It was almost noon, even if there was a scorching sun in the park, the quiet and solemn atmosphere would not make people happy.

After the numbness in Chu Ran's feet was relieved, she looked around. The dense forest covered the sky here, and no one from the outside dared to come in. She felt a little relieved, and looked outside. It was silent, and the soldiers wore belts around their waists. Holding the blade, facing the pear garden.

If they are guarding against assassins, they will face outside.But they are just the opposite, it can be seen that they are guarding against the people in the pear garden.

She was puzzled secretly, but Lu Shi stood still, which was puzzling.

Lu Shi was indifferent, as if he had a plan in his chest, and Chu Ran gradually felt relieved by his emotions, and said, "Prime Minister has a good plan?"

"No." Lu Shi said.

Chu Ran was angry, this person always pretended to be so mysterious, she couldn't leave in a fit of anger, so she could only hold back her anger and said, "Why is the prime minister so calm and not worried if he has no good plan?"

"What I do is to present the facts to Your Majesty, the rest has nothing to do with me." Lu Shi said.She never lied about this matter, so she doesn't have to worry about how His Majesty would do it. In short, if His Majesty wanted to cover up the evidence, he would have to weigh the strength of the First and Second Company in the northwest.

He was afraid of the Lian family and did not dare to suppress the prince wantonly. Now that the prince has been wronged, what he thinks about is how to make up for it.

She understood, but Chu Ran didn't know. When she wanted to ask more questions, a girl's crisp voice came from outside: "I'll go in and have a look, nothing will happen, you guys just back away."

This is Lingyi, the princess under the queen's knee, the sister of King Heng.

Lu Shi said: "Your Highness, go and hide."

When Chu Ran turned around, he glanced at her, as if it was a warning, as if it was a scrutiny, Lu Shi only smiled lightly: "I will keep my duty."

What duty do you keep?The duty of a monarch and his ministers?Chu Ran didn't believe it, and couldn't resist, so he had to hide obediently.

Ling Yi's voice came from outside: "Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang."
