The pear orchard is not very big, when the petals were flying, many concubines in the palace came to play, and now it is hot and boring in summer, so there are few people.

There is a flower platform outside the forest. It is said that the previous dynasty was the bedroom of a favorite concubine. The extravagant structure makes the later generations sigh.After Lingyi left, the Liyuan was completely quiet.

Chu Ran opened his eyes in a daze. Seeing that it was Lu Shi, he completely relaxed, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Lu Shi's heart was beating so hard that he didn't dare to move. He didn't dare to move until Chu Ranfu fell asleep again, but he didn't dare to touch her again, and he was more alert than ordinary people when he fell asleep.

The surroundings were silent, but outside there were earth-shaking changes. After the emperor quietly imprisoned the prime minister, he quickly sent people to the prime minister's mansion to arrest him. Half an hour later, the assassin was brought into the palace.

He didn't trust anyone, and since the prince's safety was involved, he had no choice but to go to the trial himself.

For a whole afternoon, the emperor saw no one else, and no one knew how the trial went. In the end, only a few assassins were given to death. After entering the emperor's Zhanghua Palace, they never came out alive.

It was not until dusk that the forbidden troops outside the Liyuan retreated one after another.

Lu Shi was vigilant and woke up Chu Ran first. Before he could speak, the servant walked in with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty, please go over."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Shi approached, blocked his sight, and said, "Yes, I will leave immediately."

The servant didn't know there was anyone else in the forest, so he shook off the floating dust and followed the Prime Minister to Zhang Hua Palace. He thought that Lu Xiang would ask a few questions about the situation of Zhang Hua Palace, but she remained silent all the way, as if she never cared about it.

He knew that the prime minister made it clear that he would not touch himself, and he couldn't say too much about it, so he quickly followed the prime minister.

When Lu Shi entered, the crown prince was also there. He looked humble, and he had improved his health after spending these days behind closed doors.

When the prime minister entered, the voices of the father and son fell silent, the crown prince said first: "Seeing the prime minister, I was really happy in Gu's heart. Sister came back with you?"

Lu Shi shook his head, "Princess Lingyi also mentioned this matter just now, but I have never met Princess Xinping, so I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding?"

The prince's face turned pale, and he looked back at the emperor in embarrassment, "Sister said she was looking for the prime minister, why didn't she see her?"

Lu Yi was silent.

Emperor Chu was also taken aback. He never cared about the small matters of these children's families. He waved his hands and said, "Most likely I went out to play again. I will settle the score with her when I come back. It is Lu Xiang's hard work. I reward you with something. Go back and play."

Never mentioning the matter of the assassin again, Lu Shi understood and nodded to thank him.

Not long after, Emperor Chu waved the crown prince back, "Aying has been wronged, what does the prime minister think?"

He only talked about being wronged, not about punishing the murderer behind the scenes. Although Lu Shi knew it already, he couldn't help feeling sorry for the siblings.She thought for a while, and said: "When I went to the government office today, I received a memorial from the Marquis of Changping. The saying is that the city wall has been beautiful for a long time, and I ask your majesty to allocate money to repair it."

"I also knew about this matter, but I want to choose a concubine for the prince first." Emperor Chu was uncertain, there was no major issue on the border, and repairs would not wait for a while, and besides, it was so far to the northwest, who knew if it was true or not.

Lu Shi said: "The crown prince is weak, getting married is a big deal, if the two have a conflict, I'm afraid..."

If a happy event fails, it becomes a funeral, and scholars all over the world will scold the emperor for harming his son.Emperor Chu had a good face. Thinking of the prince's body, he really felt that something was wrong. After hearing Lu Shi's words, he changed his words: "Let the Ministry of Rites do it, no, Qing should do it."

He didn't dare to let people from the Huo family deal with it. Once this matter happened, King Heng's suspicion would not escape.

After speaking, Lu Shi took the order.

When she was about to retreat, the Emperor Chu called her again: "Xinping is not in Beijing, so you go to visit the crown prince instead of Xinping."

Seeing is false, appeasement is true.Lu Shi said: "I understand."

The East Palace is a long way from the Zhanghua Palace, and Lu Shi was not in a hurry to go, and the Crown Prince was leaving. Instead, he went to the Liyuan on the pretext of leaving something behind, so he wanted to find it himself.

When she returned to the forest, there was no one there.

She bent the corners of her lips. Due to the matter just now, martial law had already been imposed in the palace. It would be difficult for Chu Ran to leave the palace. Even with the order of the East Palace, it would be difficult to get close.

His Majesty ordered her to go to the East Palace to appease the Crown Prince, and he would definitely send someone to follow him. She couldn't stay here for long, so she made a gesture of searching around, but to no avail, she turned to the East Palace.

Compared with Chu Ran, Prince Chu Ying's temperament was less courageous. When he saw Lu Xiang coming, he rushed to greet him, ordered the palace servants to make tea, and entered with Lu Xiang.

Retiring the servants in the palace, he couldn't wait to ask: "Does Prime Minister Lu know where Elder Sister is?"

"She has returned to Yingdu, the prince should not worry, why don't you marry the princess?" Lu Shi asked.

When the matter of marriage was mentioned, the prince smiled faintly, "I married the princess with my body and came back, it's just for show, and the person I choose may not be the one I really want, so it's better to delay and wait for sister to get married with you first. "

The young man was honest and honest, and he opened his heart in front of Lu Shi, which was very different from Chu Ran.

Lu Shi sighed in his heart, but said: "A Ran wants to divorce me, I'm afraid the marriage will fail."

The twin sisters and brothers have a good understanding, and the crown prince knows what is in Chu Ran's heart. A blush appeared on his pale face, and he said with a smile: "Sister, I am afraid that I will hurt the prime minister."

"What are you talking about?" Lu Shi didn't know.

The prince said: "Father is so afraid that my sister will miss your future if I marry you. If there is no sister, the prime minister is afraid that the sky will go straight up. As far as you are imprisoned for half a day today, if you and sister have no engagement, If you stay neutral, Dad can’t be suspicious of you. In the final analysis, it’s the prime minister who is alone. For so many years, sister has never looked at you. Others just think they don’t like you, but Gu understands that she doesn’t dare to be happy. .”

The person you like is right in front of you, and you don't dare to glance at them when you meet. Lu Shi understands what it feels like.

In the previous life, Chu Ran's feelings were suppressed deep in her heart, especially after the death of the prince, she seemed to be a different person, sneering and sarcastic.

Lu Shi was stunned, but the crown prince smiled generously, and whispered: "You just need to understand in your heart, don't tell my elder sister that I'm hurting her because I'm alone, it's just that the two of us lost our mother, and my grandparents' home is far in the northwest, so it's better to be with Heng." The king is powerful, and what my sister wants is to protect me as the crown prince. But she forgot that even if I become emperor in the future, I will only be a short-lived monarch, and it is not worth her sacrificing her own happiness. However, my sister doesn't understand .”

The prince's words hit Lu Shi's heart like a drum, and she said helplessly, "If Your Highness got married earlier and gave birth to an heir, why worry about these things."

"It's not urgent, it's better for the prime minister to get married earlier, then you and sister will choose a virtuous person for the lonely." The prince said, his robe was extremely wide, making him look very thin.

When Lu Shi saw it, he frowned and said, "Although the prince is the main one in the East Palace, the palace people have different ideas, so the prince should pay more attention." The prince was poisoned to death in his previous life, but he couldn't find out who it was.

"I know, prime minister, please stay a little longer. This year your birthday is going away, so it's not easy to give gifts." The prince got up and went to the inner room. The wine should be sent to the prime minister's mansion, but I was afraid that the prime minister would not care, so I kept it until now. Although the aroma of pear blossoms is not as good as that of jasmine, the taste of the wine is also different. Sister simmered for a few days under the prescription left by the predecessors. I just don't know if it ever met the Prime Minister's wishes."

Everyone in the palace knows about Lingyi's going to the Liyuan, and I'm afraid sister will also know about it when she comes back.

The young man had bright eyes and a handsome smile. Lu Shi took the pear flower wine in a daze. The prince felt sour, and said again: "Sister is not tempered. When she comes back, I heard the rumors that the altar wine will only make the lonely lotus pond cheaper." The koi in the middle."

Will Chu Ran be jealous?Lu Shi frowned, remembering Chu Ran's disdainful look after Ling Yi left, and said: "I understand, I will explain to Your Highness."

The crown prince smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Send the prime minister out of the East Palace alone."

In summer, the days are long, the sky gets dark late, and the sun shines obliquely, losing the heat of the day.

The prince politely sent the man to the gate of the East Palace, gave a slight salute, and watched the prime minister leave, he turned around immediately and returned to the palace.

The palace road was deep and not that hot, Lu Shi closely followed the pace of the guide in front, holding a jar of wine in her hand, her steps were steady.

The servant in front did not dare to walk too fast. The prime minister is a woman, so it is not easy to compare with a man. When he turned around the palace gate, he stopped and turned to look at Prime Minister Lu.

After looking at it, I realized that there was no one behind. He walked too fast, and the prime minister didn't follow?

He hastily searched the same way, obviously slowed down, and somehow lost the person, he shook the floating dust and hurriedly went out to search.

The palace is strict, and the palace people walking back and forth on the road hang their heads and feet, and they dare not raise their heads. If they dare to raise their heads, they will notice something strange in the corner.

Chu Ran couldn't enter the East Palace. When she went there, she found that the guards of the palace were replaced by unknown imperial guards. She lingered and waited until Lu Shi came out. She wanted to call the prince, but the prince only stared at the prime minister's back and didn't notice. she.

Helpless, he could only follow Lu Shi all the way, and dragged her over when no one was around.

She covered Lu Shi's mouth, panting slightly, "I want to see the prince."

Lu Shi frowned, the tip of his nose was filled with the smell of green grass, Chu Ran's expression was flustered and apprehensive.She leaned against the wall with her back, unable to retreat, her eyes were watery, the shock just faded away, and she stared quietly at Chu Ran.

Chu Ran felt guilty, and the hand she was covering was even hotter. The numbness made her eyelashes tremble slightly, and Lu Shi's direct gaze made her almost unable to hold on, so she withdrew her hand embarrassingly.

The ferocious appearance reflected in Lu Shi's eyes, but it was a little more embarrassed and cute, and the corners of his lips curved slightly: "Why doesn't Your Highness go in by yourself?"

Chu Ran was annoyed: "The prince didn't see me, the gatekeeper has changed."

Lu Shi suddenly realized, and said: "So that's the case, the minister wants to go back to the mansion, does His Highness want to go with him?"

"I'm going to see the prince, what are you going to do with me?" Chu Ran was puzzled, and her posture remained unchanged when she landed on Lu Shi.

The posture was inexplicably ambiguous, and Lu Shi wanted to push her away but couldn't do anything, so he said, "Your Highness, stand up straighter."

Chu Ran came back to her senses, calculating the time to release the key to the palace gate, and thinking about how to force Lu Xiang to take her back to the East Palace.She has always been extreme in her actions, and Lu Shi knew it too. When she saw her counterattack, he knew it, and said: "Your Highness, be more self-respecting, and the prince cannot be seen at this time."

"Prime Minister, why are you nervous? If you take me there, I'll let you go." Chu Ran pressed the handle of the knife, raised her brows and eyes slightly, with a little uninhibited look. She almost held the knife rest on Lu Xiang's neck on.
