Hurry up and don't die, hey

Chapter 16 The Sick Prince

Since then, there have been no more temptations. Rong Ke is suspicious by nature, and would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go.Although Ji Huaijin didn't seem to make any moves on the surface, he had already built up his vigilance and began to prepare for the way forward.

Three years passed in a flash.General Jing'an's Mansion and Prince Yu Rong Ke reached an alliance, which reversed the previous weakness, and the two sides entered a stalemate. "Qi Yu"'s filial piety period has passed, and Su Zhen has also changed from a weak boy to a handsome young man. His figure has fully grown, and the childishness between his eyebrows has faded away, and he is as noble and elegant as a bright moon.

During the period of "keeping filial piety", Su Zhen wore plain clothes for three years. After the filial piety period, Su Zhen didn't make much change. She still had that dull look, holding her posture with a bit of the stability and majesty of a high-ranking person.

Ji Huaijin said to the outside world that Qi Yu's parents were buried in the Qi family's ancestral grave, and the Qi family's ancestors were in Yucheng.

Su Zhen followed Ji Huaijin out of the house, and got into the carriage while holding the hand of the servant beside him.The boy was carrying a basket of ingots on his arm, which contained all kinds of tributes. He handed them to Ji Huaijin who was in the carriage, and sat down with the coachman.

They were going to offer sacrifices to their ancestors, and they also asked Su Zhen, who was living in the mansion, to come out to get some air.

He can't hide forever, it's time to appear in front of everyone.

The location of the ancestral tomb is relatively remote. On a hillside, the carriage can walk on the slope, and you can see the river in the distance. It is a good place to be surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The carriage was not going fast, and it was still bumpy.Su Zhen sat in the car with a pale face, Ji Huaijin looked at him worriedly, "Be patient, we will be there in a while."

Su Zhen pursed her lips tightly and nodded, but did not reply.

After waiting for the place, he felt that his legs were weak!Supported by Ji Huaijin, Su Zhen had no choice but to get down from the half-meter-high shaft of the carriage, so he had no choice but to let the boy carry him all the way to the grave.

They arranged the objects for worship, lit joss sticks, laid mats on the ground and knelt on them.Su Zhen was not a descendant of the Qi family, so he borrowed Qi Yu's name to worship this time, so he didn't have much to say. After burning the paper money in silence, he kowtowed a few times before being supported by Ji Huaijin to stand up.

"I always feel something is wrong." Su Zhen said in a low voice, "Although Rong Ke's influence is mostly in the capital, these days are too ordinary."

Ji Huaijin nodded: "That's true. Although this trip is not considered grand, it has not been concealed. The maids and guards in the mansion have also prepared for a long time." He looked at Su Zhen, "On the way back to the mansion, it is inevitable that there will be no troubles , and please protect yourself.”

"Qi Yu knows." Su Zhen softened his expression, his face was still pale, "The same goes for my cousin."

It's not that they really expected that someone would rob them halfway, it's just that they were prepared.Although Su Zhen's appearance has changed a lot, his appearance three years ago was too coincidental. Rong Ke won't pay attention to this place all the time, but it doesn't mean that his subordinates won't.

Su Zhen made enough mental preparations and returned to the carriage.They returned along the same road and descended the slope to a flat road.Ji Huaijin patted him on the back, "Drink some water and press it down, I'll be back in a while."

"Yeah." Su Zhen took two sips, and the uncomfortable feeling eased a lot.

After returning to the city, Su Zhen leaned against the side wall and fell asleep.Hearing the noise outside in a daze, Su Zhen opened his eyes, and Ji Huaijin said: "You rest first, I'll go out and have a look."

Su Zhen immediately became much more energetic, but she also knew that she should not expose herself casually in front of others, so as not to be recognized by interested people.He nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you here."

"Master Ji, it's been a long time since I became an official, but I seldom go back to my hometown. I miss you so much." The man standing in front of the carriage looked like a farmer, with dark complexion and wearing modest clothes. Count clean coarse bunt.When he saw Ji Huaijin come out, he immediately put away that arrogant and rascal expression, and flattered Ji Huaijin.

"Qi Xingye, what are you doing?" Ji Huaijin frowned impatiently.

Qi Xingye rubbed his hands, "Hey, my surname is Qi anyway, and I can be regarded as watching that kid from the Qi family grow up since I was a child. Now that he has returned to his hometown, why don't I come and see him? It's all from your Jifu. The guard dogs see people as inferior, so they won't let me in! According to my seniority, I'm still the uncle of that kid Qi Yu!"

"so?"

"I know Qi Yu is inside, you let me see him, my poor mother is still thinking about him, no matter what happens, I have to let him go back and have a look." Qi Xingye said.

Su Zhen sat in the carriage and could hear the conversations of the outsiders clearly.Qi Xingye's purpose can be seen by a discerning eye, he is not for Qi Yu, but for Ji Huaijin's money.Pan Qiyu's relationship has the cheek to ask for it, but he has been talking long-winded and missed the point.Qi Xingye was nothing to be afraid of, but why he knew that Su Zhen appeared here is a bit intriguing.

Judging from Ji Huaijin's tone, Qi Yu and Qi Xingye should not be considered close.Qi Yu's family has always been in Tongzhou, and the journey is far away. In Yucheng, there is only Ji Huaijin, a cousin, and there is no one else, so Su Zhen can pick up this song to prove his identity.Since Qi Xingye had no way of knowing this, someone must have told him.

But why did he insist on seeing Su Zhen?Is it because Qi Yu, who was replaced by him, is soft-hearted and easy to talk about, or...someone is already doubting his identity?

When Su Zhen was thinking, he suddenly felt that the curtain of the car next to him floated up, a gust of wind blew past, and someone covered his mouth.

The man was very close to him, with a low voice, Su could really feel the vibration in his chest.He said, "Don't talk, I mean no harm."

Su Zhen was so frightened that his eyes widened, and he nodded, and sure enough, he took off the hand that was covering him so hard to breathe. "who are you?"

Su Zhen stared straight ahead without turning her eyes.He didn't dare to turn his head to look directly at the appearance of the person next to him, for fear of being silenced directly.But the man didn't do what he wanted, he squeezed Su Zhen's chin, forcing him to look at him.

The man in front of him had complicated eyes, implying expectation, and he asked, "Are you Yu Jin?"

This person is the thief who sneaked into Jifu three years ago?Sure enough, the skill is amazing.Su Zhen's first thought turned out to be this, and he let out a "bah" in his heart, feeling that he was too involved in the drama.

This face was completely unfamiliar, it was not Xie Tan's face, and he had never seen it anywhere before.Su Zhen can only guess that he probably met him in the last world.But how could he be sure that he was Yu Jin?

"I'm Qi Yu, not Yu Jin. I'm sorry, you seem to have admitted the wrong person." Su Zhen didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore, but her face was still pale.It's not good for a man to give him too much credit for his appearance, he said after hearing Su Zhen's answer, "Probably so."

Su Zhen was concerned about the things outside the carriage, and was about to say something when the man slashed him on the back of the neck with a knife, caught his powerless body, opened the curtain, and fled out of the car with Su Zhen in his arms.

Ji Huaijin didn't expect that there was another person inside, and the guards on the side didn't even notice when this person entered, and lost the opportunity by not noticing for a while, and when he realized it, the person had disappeared.Ji Huaijin was annoyed and could not take care of Qi Xingye, so she immediately sent someone to inform His Highness the Eleventh.

At that time, the sixth prince, Rong Zhen, also received news that Rong Ke and Li Jichen, the youngest son of General Jing'an's mansion, were secretly in love and made peace with each other.He smiled slightly, even so, what could it represent?Those who should be suspicious will still be suspicious, and if their relationship is exposed, they have to be able to withstand the anger of their father.

Rong Zhen handed the letter into the brazier, and it instantly disappeared.This kind of thing should choose a good time.Just after he packed up the paper ashes, Mu Qing asked to see him, and Rong Zhen let him in. The polite guest put aside those vain rituals, and went straight to the topic: "His Royal Highness the Eleventh has heard that Prince Min'an is missing."

Rong Zhen frowned and said worriedly: "What's going on?"

"Master Ji was fine when he took His Highness to worship the ancestors, but on the way back to the city, he met a fellow countryman who was replaced by His Highness. Walk."

"Absurd! Are the people around you useless? Just watch the emperor's uncle being borrowed!" Rong Zhen said angrily. live?"

"No, Mr. Ji has sent people to follow."

"En. Send people to pay attention to Prince Yu's mansion first, and report immediately if anyone comes and goes!" Rong Zhen said, "You are sitting here, and this prince wants to see Huai Jin in person."

"Yes. Your Highness, please be careful."

"The king knows."

Rong Zhen changed into ordinary clothes, did not let anyone follow, and rode out of the city in a low-key manner.The Eleventh Prince was also here when he came to the Ji Mansion. He has the best relationship with Rong Mo, and Rong Mo's downfall to this point is completely implicated by him. He is overwhelmed with guilt and doesn't know how to deal with it. he.

However, after so long, Su Zhen disappeared.

"Brother Six." Rong Jin pointed at Rong Zhen's luggage.

Rong Zhen nodded slightly, "There's no need to be too polite. Is there any news from Uncle Huang?"

Ji Huaijin and Rong Jin shook their heads together.

Where was Su Zhen when everyone was at a loss?

He was taken by this strange man to a hut in a distant mountain.The man was worried about leaving him here alone, and he didn't wake up until dark.

"Who are you?" Su Zhen looked at him warily.

"I'm Han Fuchen, you can also call me Han Yiqing." He watched Su Zhen's expression nervously, and was instantly lost when he found that he was unmoved.

Oh, Han Yiqing.He changed his face inexplicably, but he couldn't recognize it.Su Zhen thought to himself, but his face remained unmoved.
