When

Just after retiring from the court, Emperor Sui Qing was sitting in the imperial study reviewing memorials.

The blue sky is thousands of miles outside, but the inside is a bit gloomy. Mr. Li pushed the door in with a fly whisk on his arm, bowed to Emperor Sui Qing, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the son of Guangling is here."

Emperor Sui Qing closed the memorial without raising his head and said, "Let him in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

About half a quarter of an hour later, Chu Yan, who was dressed in black, walked in following Director Li.

"See Your Majesty."

After Chu Yan saluted, just as he was about to bow down and bow, Emperor Sui Qing called him back, "This is not a court hall, so there is no need to see outside."

"Just call my uncle."

Chu Yan straightened up again, his face sank like water and he said, "Yes, uncle."

"Does your father have a letter?" Emperor Sui Qing stood up from behind the case, stepped down the steps, and walked to him slowly.

Chu Yan said indifferently: "Last month, I sent someone to send a letter from home."

"Hmm." Emperor Sui Qing responded in an unclear manner, and suddenly raised his hand to lightly press his shoulder, "I heard that half a month ago, you came to the palace?"

"Yes." Chu Yan replied calmly, "My nephew has something to discuss with His Highness the Sixth Highness."

"What's the matter?" Emperor Sui Qing's tone was gentle, his face was joyful and angry, but there was a faint gloomy look in his eyes.

"Discuss about uncle's birthday." Chu Yan said calmly, "Your Highness the Sixth Highness is concerned about this matter, and has been troubled all day long. I want to ask if I have any ideas."

He knew that Emperor Sui Qing would find him, so he went to find Feng Yetang that day.

Feng Yetang was worried that what happened that day would be brought to light, so naturally he would not tell Emperor Sui Qing the whole story of how Chu Yan looked for him. Instead, he would help cover it up. In this way, not only could the suspicion be cleared easily, Emperor Sui Qing heard Feng Ye Tang started silently preparing for the birthday ceremony so early, thinking of his filial piety, the previous anger should dissipate a little.

Sure enough, Emperor Sui Qing did as he expected, with a bit of relief in his eyes, "When did you get so close to Yetang?"

"The Sixth Highness had attended Dr. Mou's class before."

Emperor Sui Qing nodded kindly, and said in a deep voice, "On weekdays, I also walk around more with your other brothers and sisters."

Chu Yan was taken aback, knowing that this was a warning to him to 'treat everyone equally. '

"Yes, uncle."

Emperor Sui Qing suddenly reached out and patted his arm, and said with a smile, "You seem to be much stronger than before."

"My nephew hired a master who practices martial arts," Chu Yan said.

Emperor Sui Qing's palm fell on his strong arm, and he squeezed it twice calmly, with some deep meaning in his words.

"Why do you suddenly want to practice martial arts?"

There was no surprise in Chu Yan's eyes, and he said calmly, "I want to fight with my father on the battlefield and serve the country loyally."

"Oh?" Emperor Sui Qing seemed to be interested, "Then tell me what is the country?"

"The country is my uncle." Chu Yan said in a flat tone.

Emperor Sui Qing smiled, "Wrong."

"Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, all living beings, and ordinary people in the market are the country."

There was no shock in Chu Yan's eyes, he seemed to have expected the answer, and said inexplicably, "These are all uncle's."

"You." Emperor Sui Qing shook his head with a smile, and sighed, "You are still young."

Although it sounded like an accusation in the words, it could be seen from the gentleness on his face that Chu Yan's answer was actually in line with his wishes.

In the whole world, is it true that kings and lands, loyalty to the country is a great righteousness, and loyalty to the sage is a nature. The emperor is suspicious by nature, and if one word is wrong, he will usher in the disaster of death. For Emperor Sui Qing, who is halfway to the throne, what he wants to see most is It was this kind of pawn that he could control.

Emperor Sui Qing let go of his guard, slowly retracted his hands, and there was no trace of gloom on his face, like a kind elder, "When your father returns to Beijing, our uncle and nephew will find a time to catch up on the old days."

"Yes."

"Go out."

"My cousin is leaving."

Chu Yan strode out of the palace, and Chongyang was waiting for him outside the city gate in a carriage.

On the way back, Chongyang hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Can we do it tonight?"

Chu Yan raised his eyes to look at the curtain of the car, and said indifferently, "It's not yet time."

"Then you give me a letter!" Chongyang's simple face instantly became depressed, and he said indignantly: "I have endured it for so many days!"

Chu Yan finished pouring a cup of hot tea without haste, and then replied, "My father is returning home."

Speaking of King Guangling, Chongyang's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Speaking of which, your father is also responsible!"

He snorted coldly, with an angry face on his face, "If he hadn't married this vicious woman, how could Miss Chu's mother have been slandered and died innocently!"

Chu Yan remained silent for a long time before saying, "A man's ambition is everywhere, and his heart is on the battlefield. Naturally, he has no power to do things in the backyard."

Seeing his calm tone, Chongyang's expression was not very good, and he shouted: "It's a joke! You can't even take care of your own backyard, why are you talking about fighting in the battlefield!"

"Besides, didn't your mother die because of this? You don't have any hatred for him!"

"..." Chu Yan acted as if he hadn't heard it, and leaned back on the soft cushion, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Seeing that he remained silent, no matter how angry Chongyang felt, he could only hold back his resentment and continued to drive the carriage.

The carriage drove back to the palace, and as soon as the two of them entered the yard, they saw a thin and thin girl running over from a distance. After taking a closer look, Chu Yan recognized her as Chu Dongge's personal servant girl.

She was crying, and knelt down in front of Chu Yan in a panic, begging bitterly: "Your Majesty, save our young lady!"

Before Chu Yan could speak, Chongyang couldn't wait to say: "What's wrong with your lady?!"

"Wang... Mrs. Wang... found out..." The maid was crying out of breath, and choked again and again: "Mrs. Wang said that Aunt Qiu had an affair with a foreigner, and sent someone to arrest her. The young lady was in a hurry and drove the carriage. Take Aunt Qiu and escape."

"Driving a carriage?!" Chongyang hurriedly said, "Is anyone following?"

The servant girl shook her head with a pale face and said: "The situation was urgent at that time, Miss and Aunt Qiu slipped away through the back door, there were only the two of them."

"How old is she, how can she drive a carriage casually!" Chong Yang glared and gritted his teeth, "If there is anything wrong with Miss Chu, I will kill her!"

"Which direction is the carriage going?" Chu Yan interrupted in a flat tone.

The servant girl hurriedly said: "I went to the south gate."

"Madam Wang's people have also caught up."

Chu Yan nodded lightly, and told Chongyang, "You lead two horses and wait for me at the back door."

"Okay." Chongyang replied in a deep voice.

Chu Yan went back to the study, and there was a long sandalwood box engraved with tiger patterns on the desk in the corner. It looked like it hadn't been opened for a long time, and there was a thin layer of dust on it.

He took off the lock and opened the lid, and there was a sheathed long sword inside.

Chu Yan's eyes were dark, as if some bad memories had been recalled, his expression darkened instantly.After a few breaths, he picked up the long sword and walked out of the study.

The sky has begun to darken, the setting sun is like blood, the afterglow of the sunset reflects the deserted path outside the city gate, the wheels quickly run over the wet and soft dirt road, the frightened horses keep neighing rapidly, and the speeding carriage is also dangerous Swing left and right.

"Little... miss... slow down!" The beautiful woman sitting in the carriage lay prone on the soft cushion, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, her expression looked extremely painful.

Chu Dongge was so frightened by the violent jolting of the carriage that her face paled. She tugged on the rein in a panic, and said intermittently: "Qiu... Aunt Qiu... are you okay?"

Before the people in the carriage could speak, he turned around and saw a few armored palace guards following the carriage, chasing after him on horseback.

The panicked Chu Dongge immediately burst into tears, choked up and said, "They...they caught up so quickly..."

"What... what to do?!"

Hearing her cry, Aunt Qiu raised her eyes with a little effort, and looked out through the gap in the car curtain.

When she saw the scene outside, her eyes widened in horror, her heart seemed to be in her throat, her whole body felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and she quickly cooled down.

"Miss! Be careful ahead!"

When Chu Dongge heard the words, he turned his head and saw the cliff that was close at hand, and immediately let out a shrill scream.

"what!!!"

She hastened to straighten the rein, but instead of slowing down, she accelerated a lot. The cold autumn wind was like a blade, scraping her cheeks with pain. Chu Dongge closed his eyes tightly in fear, and the almost roaring howl resounded through the air. skyrim.

At this critical moment, the rein in his hand was yanked away, and the galloping horse neighed suddenly, and then the carriage made a dangerous turn on the edge of the cliff, and the horseshoes rushed towards the nearby woods.

Chu Dongge opened his eyes slightly, and saw Chu Yan with a gloomy face, turning over and sitting on the horse like a god, her eyes lit up, and hurriedly shouted: "Second brother!"

Chu Yan had never heard of it, and continued to drive the carriage expressionlessly until the horse's hooves scrambled on the flat road, and the frightened horse finally stopped slowly.

Seeing his terrifying expression, Chu Dongge's face turned pale. After struggling in his heart, he made up his mind again and called out, "...Second brother."

Chu Yan got off his horse without saying a word, and Chu Dongge peeked at his back anxiously.

"Kneel down."

A sudden and gentle reprimand made Chu Dongge unsteady, rolled down from the carriage, and fell on his back.Before he could catch his breath, he immediately got up in a hurry, knelt on his knees obediently, put his hair in a bun that was messed up like a bird's nest, and looked up at him with a shy face.

Chu Yan's face was as cold as ice, and the coldness in his eyes was sharper than usual. He lowered his eyes and squinted at Chu Dongge who was trembling all over. He pouted at the corner of his mouth, just about to say something.

"I've already taken care of the people over there!"

A heavy and powerful roar came from not far away, "Where is Miss Chu?"

Chongyang was wearing a gray bunt and ran over with bold steps. When he saw Chu Dongge who was kneeling on the ground, he was shocked at first, then his face softened a little, and he let out a heavy breath.

"...Miss..." Aunt Qiu in the carriage murmured angrily, "My concubine...my stomach hurts..."

Just as Chu Dongge remembered, she raised her head and saw Chu Yan's cold and sharp jaw, she quickly knelt back and asked innocently, "Does Aunt Qiu want to go to the toilet?"

She was inexperienced and didn't understand that the reason why Aunt Qiu was uncomfortable before was actually a symptom of nausea, and Aunt Qiu was worried that she was young and her mouth was not tight, so she didn't dare to tell the truth easily.

"No..." Aunt Qiu's voice was weak, and she said earnestly, "Is the prince here?"

She heard Chu Yan's voice outside the carriage just now.

"I have a baby in my belly...save my baby..."

"Child?" Chu Dongge asked blankly, "What child?"

Chu Yan frowned slightly, and calculated the distance. There are still more than ten miles to the capital. I don't know if this aunt can hold on.

Forget it, let's see her luck.

Chu Yan got into the carriage, pulled up the reins and said to Chongyang, "You will return home later."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Chu Dongge who was still kneeling on the ground.

Chu Dongge understood, hurriedly crawled in from the ground, and slipped into the carriage.

"Second brother, it's not good!" As soon as she entered, she immediately lifted the curtain of the car and poked her head out. Her small face was full of fear and worry, and she whispered, "My aunt is bleeding."

Although he had never experienced it, Chu Yan had lived for so many years, so he naturally understood what he meant.

His face became serious in an instant, and he thought to himself that this aunt was in danger.

Just when I was about to drive back, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a man standing on the side of the road. He was slender, with a straight waist, and he was wearing a slightly worn blue robe. It might be because he was too thin, but the loose robe The upper body is a little loose, which further accentuates the narrow shoulders and thin, bony skin of this person.

Meeting Chu Yansen's cold gaze, the man came back to his senses and smiled slightly, "Are you looking for a doctor?"

His voice was pleasant, clear and clean, with a hint of hoarseness that had a unique charm, as if there was a thrilling penetrating feeling.

Even Chu Dongge, who was in a panic, couldn't help but calm down, and turned her head to look outside the carriage. When she moved her gaze up and saw the man's face, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes that couldn't hide her thoughts.

This man's voice is so pleasant, why his face is so ugly.

But Dudu's eyes are exceptionally brilliant, with thick black eyelashes and clear pupils, which look weird and out of harmony on this mediocre face.
