Prince does not come

The last quarter moon is fading away, and the east will be white.

It is always very dark before dawn, and there is a figure galloping on the quiet and empty street, looking back from time to time, as if afraid of being chased by someone.

At the same time, Feng Xun shouted in a low voice at the door of Long Si's bedroom: "My lord!"

Long Si suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, "come in"

Feng Xun pushed the door open and came in, standing outside the screen, "The princess left the mansion through the back door a while ago, Feng Yu has been following"

Long Si was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "If he goes all the way to Xuanguo, ask Feng Yu to help him contact Chi Cheng."

"Yes"

Xuan Yunqi went all the way to the gate of Jianglou City. After thinking for a long time, he really couldn't stay in the palace any longer.

When Xuan Yunqi walked to the city gate, it happened to be the time to open the city gate.The guard at the city gate looked at Xuan Yunqi suspiciously, and asked, "What do you do?"

Xuan Yunqi immediately calmed down, took out the jade pendant in his sleeve, and replied calmly: "I am from the Prince Regent's Mansion, and the prince asked me to go out to do something."

What Xuan Yunqi held in his hand was an imperial green emerald cloud pattern jade pendant, which was extremely rare and only the royal family was eligible to have it.

When the guard saw it, he knew that he couldn't afford to offend him, so he quickly bowed and said, "My lord, please!"

Xuan Yunqi swaggered out of Jianglou City. He stood under the city gate and turned to look around.Two big characters with sharp strokes are engraved on the majestic city wall.It is said that when the city wall was built, Long Si leaped three feet and struck with a gun.

If they have no national boundaries, maybe they will be confidants.

Half a moment later, Xuan Yunqi turned around without hesitation, and headed towards Xuan Guo.He has been out for more than three months, the father and queen must have gone crazy.

Yun Xun lived in Zuo Xiangfu for more than half a month, doing nothing all day long, either drinking tea or admiring flowers.Long Si never sent a letter asking him to go back, and he didn't dare to act rashly.But he is really not used to this kind of elegant life, he has lost a lot of weight, and today he has to go back to the palace no matter what.

Yun Xun watched the sun rise and hang over the treetops.Guessing that Jiang Hengyu was already awake at this time, she went to the front hall.On the way, I met a young man and asked, "Where is Prime Minister Zuo?"

The boy said: "Back to the young master, Xiangye is practicing calligraphy in the study."

Hearing the word practice calligraphy, Yun Xun's eyelids started to twitch.It is said that the left eye jumps for money, and the right eye jumps for disaster. What's the matter with jumping left and right?

Anyway, it won't be a good thing, so I didn't go to Jiang Hengyu anymore, and said to the young man: "There is an emergency in the palace, I have to go back, please go and report to the left minister, just say Yun Xun from the palace Thank you, Master Xiang, for your hospitality, and I will definitely come to thank you some other day." After speaking, the soles of his feet felt windy, and he hurried out of Zuo Xiangfu's mansion.Good guy, why did Zuo Xiang suddenly start practicing calligraphy again?

The servant stared blankly at Yun Xun who was running away quickly, what happened to the palace, why are you in such a hurry, you don't even have time to thank him?

Jiang Hengyu stopped writing, looked at the servant, and asked, "You said Yun Xun has been in the mansion?"

The boy was at a loss again, didn't Mr. Yun Xun meet the Prime Minister as soon as he came?He replied: "Yes, Mr. Yun Xun has been living in the mansion for more than half a month."

He has been in a bad mood recently, and he has completely forgotten about Yun Xun. With such a good opportunity, he should let Yun Xun practice his handwriting well no matter what.Jiang Hengyu felt a little regretful, "You said he has already left?"

The boy nodded, "Yes, Mr. Yun Xun said that the palace has something urgent, so he left in a hurry."

Now that you've left, forget it, Jiang Hengyu nodded, "Go and do your work."

"Yes"

Jiang Hengyu looked at the sun, it was already morning.Then he shouted: "Wen Bo!"

Uncle Wen responded quickly, and "Young Master" walked in quickly.

"Send the picture of hundreds of flowers in my room to Cousin Dujuan"

Wen Bo smiled gently, "The young master really has a heart, the old slave will go now."

Before Uncle Wen went out, he heard a beautiful female voice from the courtyard, "Cousin"

Jiang Hengyu smiled helplessly, and greeted him, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Hengyu was thinking about her mistakes at home, she was not allowed to go out, and outsiders were not allowed to visit without reason.

Xu Yingying walked up to Jiang Hengyu bouncingly, pulled Jiang Hengyu's sleeve, and lowered her voice, "I came quietly, no one will know." Then she opened her big round eyes and asked: "My cousin Brother, don’t you forget what day it is today?”

"What day is it?" Jiang Hengyu pretended to be distressed and thought for a while, then shook his head and looked at the servant beside him, "What day is today?"

Xu Yingying was not happy immediately, she loosened Jiang Hengyu's hand, tilted her head and curled her lips: "huh"

Seeing this, Jiang Hengyu stopped teasing her, "Uncle Wen"

Uncle Wen hurriedly took the picture of hundreds of flowers and handed it to the girl who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, "Miss Biao, the young master is teasing you, the gift has been prepared for you a long time ago."

When Xu Yingying heard this, Shi Shiran took the scroll over, flicked it, and the scroll unfolded.A vivid picture of hundreds of flowers is vividly displayed on the paper, but the most ingenious work in the whole volume is a red rhododendron.Dujuan is her nickname.

"It's so beautiful." Xu Yingying looked at the painting and praised it with satisfaction. Jiang Hengyu's paintings are hard to find, and then looked up at Jiang Hengyu happily, "My cousin still loves me the most."

Jiang Hengyu smiled dotingly and said: "No matter how beautiful a flower is, it can't compare to my beautiful cousin."

Xu Yingying was a little embarrassed by the praise, and blushed, "My cousin made fun of me again."

Jiang Hengyu smiled and said: "Today I will reach Yi, but if there is someone I like, my cousin will tell you."

Xu Yingying was even more embarrassed when this matter was mentioned, her face blushed like a peach blossom, and she said in a low voice: "Mother...Mother said Yu..."

At this time, a servant came in, and Du Juan quickly stopped talking.

"Master, Miss Biao. Shangshu Yuwen is asking to see you outside the door."

Jiang Hengyu said: "Ask him to come in"

Jiang Hengyu was thinking about her mistakes at this time, if she was seen here, she might cause trouble for her cousin.So Xu Yingying hurriedly said: "Cousin, I'll go first." After that, she ran away in a hurry.

Jiang Hengyu looked suspiciously at the back of Xu Yingying who was running away in a hurry, just now he was talking about Yu... did he mean Yuwen Shang?Jiang Hengyu shook her head and smiled, this little girl is really shy.It seems that he has to investigate this future cousin-in-law carefully. In fact, Yu Wenshang is a good person, handsome, young and promising, humble and motivated, so it would be suitable for him to be his cousin-in-law.

Yu Wenshang walked in, saw the smile on Jiang Hengyu's face, and said with a smile, "Master Xiang, is there a happy event today?"

When Jiang Hengyu looked at the things in Yuwen Shang's hands, he was even more convinced of the conjecture in his heart, and said with a smile: "Ah Shang, you came a step late."

Yu Wenshang was a little puzzled, "Why did Xiangye say that?"

Jiang Hengyu pointed to the potted rhododendron in Yuwen Shang's arms, "I just left"

Yu Wenshang looked down at the azaleas in full bloom. Did he mean the gardener?He said: "It doesn't matter, it's just that the things are here, and people can come anytime." Then he put the potted plants on the table, "The land of Jizhou is rich in rhododendrons, so I brought some back. Don't dislike me, Mr. Xiang."

Jiang Hengyu was very satisfied with Yuwen Shang's move, and rushed back just in time for Du Juan's birthday.He laughed and said: "Ah Shang was joking, how could I dislike it. Ah Shang don't call me Xiang Ye, just call me Heng Yu."

Yuwen Shang declined modestly: "Then how?"

Jiang Hengyu looked at Du Juan on the table, smiled and patted Yu Wenshang on the shoulder, "You and I don't need to see each other."

Although Yu Wenshang didn't know why Jiang Hengyu's attitude changed so drastically, but he was satisfied with the ending, so he said kindly, "Then Shang's respect is worse than obedience."

Jiang Hengyu looked at the busy Yuwen Shang, "Is the matter in Jizhou going well?"

Yu Wenshang sighed, "I've been there for half a month, but I didn't find any clues at all. In the end, I had to pay a gang of bandits on the border of Jizhou to close the case."

Who is it that planned so thoroughly that no flaws were left behind?Jiang Hengyu frowned, "There is no objection from Lu Guo?"

Yu Wenshang said: "Right now, the State of Lu doesn't care about Ji Yuling's affairs at all."

"Why is that?", how can she be a princess of a country, how can she not care about it?

Yu Wenshang took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, "Because of Ji Caiyue"

Jiang Hengyu was even more puzzled, "What does it have to do with Ji Caiyue, hasn't she arrived at the palace safely?"

Yu Wenshang said: "When she entered, the palace had a concubine, and she entered the palace as a side concubine."

Although there is only one word difference between the princess and the side concubine, the meanings they represent are very different.At the beginning, Ji Zhen tried his best to let Long Si relax. In order to consolidate the position of Princess Ji Caiyue, he specially asked Ji Yuling to come to help him, but who knew that when this happened, he changed his mind again.

Yu Wenshang said: "The king of the state of Lu is already on his way to surrender Lou."

Jiang Hengyu was not in the mood to care about whether Ji Zhen would come or not, so he quickly asked, "Is there a princess in the Prince Regent's Palace?"

This matter has not yet spread, and Jiang Hengyu is thinking about his mistakes again, and it is reasonable to not know.Yu Wenshang shook his head: "I don't know about this either, I heard about it when I was investigating the case with the people of Lu State."

He didn't know it in the capital, and Yuwen Shangyuan naturally didn't know it when he was far away from the border.Jiang Hengyu was a little anxious, Ji Zhen came, and Long Si had to give an explanation no matter what.Considering Long Si's character, since he married the concubine, he would definitely not compromise.

Yuwen Shang looked at the pensive Jiang Hengyu, "Hengyu, do you have any clues?"

Jiang Hengyu shook his head, "No, I've never heard Long Si say that." Jiang Hengyu felt that something was wrong. With his relationship with Long Si, it didn't make sense that he didn't even know that Long Si was married, or it was just that Long Si didn't want to marry Ji Caiyue. Excuse?

Not only Jiang Hengyu felt something was wrong, but Yu Wenshang also felt weird.How could there be no news about the dignified Prince Regent getting married? It seems that there must be something wrong with the princess.

The two had their own concerns, Yu Wenshang sat for a while, then got up and said goodbye.

Yun Xun returned to the palace and walked to the Danqing Court.Feng Xun was surprised when he saw Yun Xun, "Boss, why are you back?"

Yun Xun looked at Feng Xun coldly, he still can't come back? "Go and report to the prince, and tell me that I'm back."

Yun Xun waited for a while, and Feng Xun came back, "Boss, the prince told you to go in."

Yun Xun walked in anxiously, just as he reached the courtyard gate, a cold light flashed by, Yun Xun turned his body slightly, and with a backhand grip, there was a sharp sword in his hand.

Long Si stood in the courtyard holding a silver gun, "Come and practice"

"Yes," Yun Xun replied excitedly.He hadn't exercised his muscles for a long time, so he stabbed Long Si's chest with his sword in high spirits.

Long Si raised his spear to block it, and the two weapons met, sharp and piercing.At the moment of the stalemate, Yun Xun took advantage of his strength to soar into the air, his feet reached the eaves of the roof, and after gathering enough strength, he jumped down and attacked Longsi violently, with a powerful sword, pressing every step of the way.

Long Si's feet remained motionless, as if rooted.Lifting the gun, he pressed Yun Xun's sword down with a force as heavy as a thousand catties, and the sudden and fierce force made Yun Xun's mouth go numb.

Seeing the momentum, Yun Xun raised his leg and kicked Long Si's Qihai acupoint.Long Si pressed down on the tail of his gun to dispel Yun Xun's offensive.It's just that once the strength in his hand is loosened, Yun Xun's sword cannot be suppressed.Yun Xun took advantage of the situation and retreated, and pulled out the sword in a split second.

Five zhang behind him was an orange tree, Yun Xun put his back on the tree trunk, drew a sword flower, and stabbed at Long Si's heart again.His figure was as fast as lightning and he suddenly came to Long Si's body. His sword was sharp like a horse, and immediately shrouded Long Si in a cold light, making it impossible to tell the truth from reality.

Long Si closed his eyes and focused his attention, his Qi transported his dantian, gushing out with majestic force, the cold light scattered all over the place, shaking the orange trees in a courtyard rustling.

When he opened his eyes again, the indifference faded away, leaving only the high fighting spirit.When Long Si was not around, he only defended and did not attack, his body was like a ghost, his spear was like a swimming dragon, and he went straight to Yun Xun's face.

Yun Xun is not as powerful as Long Si, so he can only fight and retreat.After a hundred moves, the silver spear and red tassel hang down, slightly floating, the sharp tip of the spear stopped three inches in front of the heart.Ryuji threw the gun, "No progress at all"

Yun Xun was so convinced of his defeat that he took his sword and cupped his hands and said, "The Zuo Xiang's mansion is full of paintings and calligraphy, it's really not a place for subordinates to stay."

Long Si looked at Yun Xun, "Aren't you used to calligraphy without practice?"

Yun Xun grimaced, "My lord, this subordinate really knows it's wrong."

Long Si didn't make things difficult for Yun Xun, "Okay, let's go down."

"Thank you, my lord." Yun Xun heaved a sigh of relief, the matter was finally over.

As soon as Yun Xun left, the name of the road came to report, "My lord, Eunuch Shuangxi is here."

Long Si wiped his hands with a handkerchief, "Please come in"

After a while, Shuangxi hurried in, "Your Highness, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace."

Long Si nodded, went back to the house, changed his clothes, and left for the palace.

Right Chancellor Chen Gui stood in the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a heavy expression on his face: "Your Majesty, the regent's move is obviously to stir up conflicts between the Kingdom of Liang and the Kingdom of Lu."

Long Yuan sat on the dragon chair, his face was indifferent, he couldn't see whether he was happy or angry, "What does the right minister mean by this?"

Chen Guidao: "Your Majesty, last year the Regent promised the Lu State to marry the Lu State Princess as his wife, but he married the Princess beforehand. Isn't this trapping me in a cruel and unrighteous place?"

Long Yuan sat with downcast eyes and didn't answer, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Chen Gui resented in his heart, "Your Majesty, although the regent handed over the government, the military power has been firmly held in his hands. It is really Sima Zhao's heart that everyone knows. Your Majesty, take precautions in the morning."

Long Yuan finally reacted, looked up at Chen Gui, "I know"

At this moment, Shuangxi came in, "Your Majesty, the prince is requesting an audience outside the palace."

"Proclaim"

Long Si walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony and saluted, "I see the emperor"

When Chen Gui saw Long Si, he was furious, "Regent, how do you explain the matter of the State of Lu?"

Long Yuan said: "Uncle Emperor, Ji Zhen will return to Jianglou in half a month."

Long Sidao: "Yes"

Although the State of Lu is not as powerful as the State of Liang, it is a country of its size. Now that the State of Liang is in the wrong, it needs to be appeased.

Looking at Long Si's indifferent look, Long Yuan felt a little headache, and asked, "Your Honor, what do you think of this matter?"

The best way is naturally to marry Ji Caiyue as the main concubine, so no one will object.Chen Guidao: "As long as the regent says that the matter of the concubine is just to investigate Ji Yuling's death as a cover, and then marry Ji Caiyue back to the mansion as a concubine."

Long Si was silent for a long time, although the royal family's marriage has never been decided by himself, but now he suddenly doesn't want to marry someone he doesn't love.For the rest of my life, I will be with someone I don't love, and I will marry and have children with her until I grow old.

Jianglou has a radius of a hundred miles, and you can leave in two or three days.Long Si darkened his eyes, and was about to agree, when he heard Long Yuan say: "Uncle Emperor, you should go back to the mansion to appease Princess Caiyue, and discuss the follow-up matter."

Long Sidao: "Yes, I have resigned."

Looking at Long Si's back, Chen Gui slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.Ryuji, you should have thought about today.One day I will make you fall from a high place and pay for the lives of those you killed.

Long Yuan glanced at Chen Gui with a deep expression, "I'm tired, the right minister should also step down."

Chen Gui hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't say what he had kept in his heart. He saluted and then retreated.
