a pillow in autumn

Zhou Mubai was dazed for a long time before he picked up that page of letterhead in his hand. The letterhead was written in black and white, clearly written. It was a letter of divorce written by herself when she was injured in Jijun a long, long time ago.

"If I get an incurable disease sometime in the future, I will take it out and settle it with you." The words she had said to her echoed in her ears.

Zhou Mubai pinched the page of letter paper and tightened his fingertips.

All the servants were assembled in front of the front hall, Zhou Mubai sat alone in the hall with cold eyes and brows, with a cup of tea in hand.After a while, the housekeeper came in to report that the carriages and horses in the mansion were in good order, and the concubine did not allow anyone to ride in the carriage, nor did she allow anyone to follow her. She only brought a girl, Sijin, and went out early this morning.

"Your Highness, the princess went to see the young master and young lady before leaving the mansion, and also asked the nanny a lot. The nanny is outside the hall now, do you want to invite questions?"

Zhou Mubai's face was gloomy, and it took him a long time before he let out a "huh".

Prince Rui's Mansion hired a total of four wet nurses, two of them were dedicated to take care of the young master, and the other two were dedicated to take care of the young miss.According to the ancestral system, when they are older, they will invite eight senior and experienced aunts from the palace to teach court etiquette since childhood.

At this time, the four wet nurses knelt in the hall and kowtowed together.The steward asked the question on behalf of Prince Rui, and the leading wet nurse came all the way from Lixiang Xiaoyuan, kowtowed again and said: "If you go back to the master, the princess will ask the servants to take good care of the young master and the young lady, the young master has already reached the point of being naughty At this young age, she is learning to walk with small steps all day long, and she has just erupted her baby teeth, so you have to be careful in everything. The little lady was born before full term, and her body is weak..."

She was rambling on, but Zhou Mubai didn't listen to the rest. She was thinking about why Shen Xianxun said these things to the wet nurses, and what it meant. She said it so clearly, as if she would never come back again .

At the end, the wet nurse said: "The concubine also asked the servant to bring a word to the master."

"Oh?" Is it certain that she will interrogate the servants of the Hefu, with her long eyebrows slanted, she asked in a calm voice: "What are you talking about?"

"Wangfei said, the young master is more than one year old, and he still doesn't know how to call him daddy. In ordinary days, he often doesn't see His Highness for a whole day. The young lady was born in the chaos of war, and she struggled to survive. It's really not easy." The wet nurse Kneeling for a long time, trembling, seeing Prince Rui's face sinking like water, he hurriedly lowered his head, and managed to continue the conversation: "Wangfei said, please spare more time for the young master and the young lady, they are all Your child..."

"My child?" Zhou Mubai smiled, touched the teacup on the table with the back of his hand, took it in his hand and threw it out.With the sound of the wind, the teacup passed over the heads of several servants and smashed against the cold wall by the door, smashing the tea soup to the ground in an instant.Zhou Mubai stood up and said coldly: "They are my children, aren't they Shen Xianxun's children?!"

The steward had already knelt down, and more than a hundred servants inside and outside the hall knelt down on the ground in silence.

"Please come to Imperial Physician Pei!" She ordered coldly.The butler got up, and she changed her mind again: "No need, the lonely king went to look for the imperial physician by himself. You immediately sent people to search around the city. The princess only brought a girl, so she must have hired a car. Find out who it is Take the princess away and bring it back to the lonely king!" After saying that, he ordered a few guards, stepped on the horse, and went straight to the palace.

The Tai Hospital is an independent courtyard in the imperial palace. A lot of medicinal herbs are planted in the atrium to make the best use of them. When the cold wind blows, it will occasionally bring the fragrance of herbs dried in the backyard.

Pei Dongcheng has been promoted to the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, and he is on duty at the moment, holding several herbs in his hand and discussing with Pei Yue, who was just selected into the Imperial Hospital, the effects of different doses of the medicine, when he suddenly saw Prince Rui, who is always gentle and polite, rushing in a hurry When he came in, there was a bit of hostility between his eyebrows.

Pei Dongcheng was stunned for a moment, thinking that Princess Rui's eyes had changed dramatically, so he hurriedly walked to the courtyard.Before exchanging pleasantries, Zhou Mubai already supported his prostrating elbow with one hand, and said bluntly: "Mr. Pei, did you come to my residence yesterday?"

Pei Dongcheng blinked, nodded and said: "Yes. I came to the mansion to ask for the princess' pulse."

"What did you say to the concubine?" Zhou Mubai stared at him and said word by word.

"This..." Wangfei's eyes are regarded as the family affairs of Prince Rui's residence, so it is not easy to publicize them.Pei Dongcheng backed away half a step, made a "please" gesture, and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, please take a seat and serve tea, and take a step to talk."

"No need!" Zhou Mubai's voice paused, but finally he didn't say the words of the princess leaving the mansion, but his voice became a little bit lower: "The lonely king just wants to know what you and the princess said yesterday."

Pei Dongcheng had already guessed that there must be something wrong in the palace, he sighed: "I am incompetent, I have not been able to find a proper cure, I visited the palace yesterday and was about to give another injection, but the princess asked Shi Needles are still useful...Weichen saw that the albuginea beside the pupils of the princess was blue, I'm afraid she has already noticed..."

"I'm afraid she has already noticed, and she may never see it again from now on, right?" Zhou Mu's white eyes were gloomy, and he lowered his head slightly, looking at the mottled masonry patterns under his feet.

Coming out of the imperial hospital, Zhou Mubai went straight to the Shen residence, hearing that Princess Rui disappeared in the palace, everyone in the Shen family was shocked.

Shen Qixuan said: "The princess has been courageous since she was young, but she has acted cautiously and never made people worry. She left without saying goodbye this time, maybe there is something hidden behind her."

Shen Youtang knew very well that the two had been entangled several times, so it was not easy to comfort them.

Zhou Mubai stood for a while, knowing that Xian Xun had never returned, felt even more disappointed, and said goodbye.Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Qixuan wanted to keep her for dinner, so how could she have thought about it.

"Teacher Shen is old, Xiang Wen's mother-in-law is often in poor health, and I hope you don't tell the two adults about Xian Xun's departure from the house. My son-in-law will definitely send more people to bring Xian Xun back safely." Mu Bai said deeply After bowing deeply, he turned around and walked towards the gate of Shen's residence.

The guards of the palace were all waiting in front of the door, and a young man from the head of the talent was standing beside the stone on the horse, before Zhou Mubai walked out of the gate, Shen Lan had already chased him out, and wanted to accompany her, Zhou Mubai patted His shoulder: "I have to come back after years, but you are the only one who comes back. Just stay with your parents at home."

A few drops of cold rain fell in the twilight, floating on my shoulders.A few magnolias outside Shen's mansion stood still with verdant branches, Zhou Mubai looked up, thinking of the day when she and she first got married, the flying flowers were graceful, and there was a wisp of fragrance scattered in the breeze.

Returning to the palace, the lamps were already lit everywhere in the palace, Zhou Mubai walked alone on the alchemy road, the maids all saluted from afar, but she only felt deserted.

The butler ran back and forth to report that the princess did not hire a carriage, horses and sedan chairs. The servants asked around, and someone saw a four-wheeled car parked not far away this morning, and picked up two young women. After listening to the description of their clothes, Most of them are the princess and Miss Sijin.

"She avoided me on purpose." Mu Bai thought, and walked a few heavy steps.

The housekeeper didn't get the instruction, but followed suit.

Floating clouds lay in the sky, shadows and shadows, and the traces can no longer be seen clearly in the night.Zhou Mubai paused, and ordered: "Send all the boys in the mansion out, and where they go in the small car, someone will always see it."

"Yes." The butler bowed down, but did not see a trace of desolation and indiscernibility flashed in his master's eyes.

For three consecutive days, Prince Rui's mansion hardly saw his master during the day, Zhou Mubai personally took people to all the places she could think of, but the time she lived with her in Ruijing was too short, she didn't even know that she liked him Which side of the scene, and whether you have ever walked a certain promenade.

Zhou Muchen was somewhat surprised when the little servant asked the emperor to return to Prince Rui for an audience in the imperial study.

At that time the newly canonized Prince An was also in the imperial study, seeing Zhou Mubai coming in, he greeted him respectfully.

"It's been a while since I haven't seen you, how did third brother lose so much weight?" Zhou Muyu asked with a smile as he stood in front of the six dragon screens wearing a bamboo-colored brocade robe.

Mu Bai also smiled, and said pleasantly: "It's been a while. You are getting stronger and stronger. How is your mother?"

Zhou Muyu's biological mother was originally Concubine Rong's maidservant, so given her status, she could not be called a concubine.

"Third Brother Lao misses you. Mother is in good health." Zhou Muyu's chubby face was wrinkled with a smile, and he said again: "The queen mother often talks about the third brother, saying that after the third brother got married, he seldom brought the princess into the palace. gone."

When these words fell, both Zhou Muchen and Zhou Mubai's expressions changed, Zhou Muchen coughed and said: "Your third brother came to find me to discuss business matters, you can go and do your work."

"Yes!" Zhou Muyu cupped his hands and made a bow, and then blinked at Zhou Mubai: "Eldest Brother Huang sent me to Qiongzhou. I heard that there are spring flowers and autumn moons, winding water cups, and countless famous flowers all over the country."

"What nonsense!" Zhou Muchen reprimanded him, but there was no annoyance in his eyes, he just said with a stern face: "If you don't go to pay your respects to the empress, I have loved you for nothing in the past."

Zhou Muyu turned around and made a grimace when facing Zhou Mubai.

Zhou Mu's white eyebrows were raised slightly. At the age of the fifth younger brother, who is still childish, and has never experienced life and death in war, he must not know the taste of sorrow. It is really enviable.

The days are short in winter, and the sun has tilted in the wind.Walking out of the imperial study, Zhou Muyu suppressed all his emotions in his eyes, the immature and naughty look in front of his elder brother had long since disappeared from his face.He stood still in front of the door, and heard Zhou Mubai's voice faintly coming from the study room, that he wanted to borrow a royal spy from the emperor.Zhou Muyu lowered his brows and sneered. In the name of finding the whereabouts of Princess Rui, Prince Rui, who knows if he will secretly contact the princes.How could the emperor agree to it easily?

He listened to a few words, the corner of his mouth twitched, and the little servant who often served in front of the emperor came up courteously and raised his arm to ask him to help him. He said with a smile that he didn't dare to take it, and took out a fine jade pendant from his cuff, It was rewarded to the servant.The little servant was already used to it, and while thanking him for the reward, he bowed and lowered his hands, watching Prince Bao walk down the white jade steps towards Jinyu Palace.
