Li Pei went back very late, and it was already mao o'clock when he fell asleep, so he slept until dawn the next day.

Wang Luda, the official of the East Palace, waited outside Li Pei's bedroom early in the morning, and called people back and forth four or five times before finally seeing His Highness the Crown Prince who had just woken up from his sleep at nearly noon.

Wang Lu is Li Pei's confidant who has been by Li Pei's side since the Daming Palace, and he has never left in the past five years. Li Pei has never been on guard in front of him. It's a little ugly.

"what happened?"

Wang Lu was obviously used to it. After paying homage to him, his expression was unconcerned, and his words were concise,

"There were people from Daming Palace last night."

He had already guessed it after waiting outside for two hours, now that he saw the Prince's appearance again, he was naturally reassured in his heart - the Prince left the East Palace again last night, maybe... went to the Proton Mansion.

The court meeting a few days ago stirred up a thousand waves, and now there are rumors about the prince flying up and down in Chang'an, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the situation of the East Palace is "tumbling".Wang Lu did not expect that Li Pei could add fuel to the fire at this time, and left the house again.

At least shouldn't he just stay in the East Palace honestly for a few days?

"Daming Palace? Is it the Lizheng Palace or..."

Li Pei stopped talking halfway, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Maybe he really didn't wake up, and he would ask such a question.If it was in the past, there might be a meaning of separation, but now Li Jiao's mansion is next to him, if he wants to find out his whereabouts, why bother to ask Concubine Zhang Gui in the palace to take action?

Nature is a saint again.

Li Pei's attitude towards the high-ranking saint in Lizheng Hall is very contradictory.The matter of the Xu family and the abolished empress was a knot in his heart that he couldn't get rid of. Originally, for this old matter, the abolished storage might be the best ending.But he didn't.

"His Highness went to see the national teacher again?" Although he asked knowingly, Wang Lu still asked this question.

"Going," Li Pei turned around, walked into the room, and poured himself a cup of overnight cold tea, "I didn't see you."

I just watched from a distance for a while, and didn't even see anyone.He didn't know exactly what he wanted to see, but at that moment he really wanted to obey his own will, and he did what he thought.

Wang Lu heaved a sigh of relief, followed the opportunity, and closed the door tightly again.

"It's fine if I don't see you... Hey, I asked someone to bring a new pot of tea..."

"No need."

Li Pei was absent-minded, and after drinking half a cup of tea, he asked again:

"Did the people from Daming Palace bring a message?"

Wang Lu was taken aback, "I didn't bring the words with me." Then he remembered something, raised his finger and pointed to the location of the study, "However, a few servants brought in a box of things. I don’t even know what’s in it.”

After a pause, Wang Lu said again, "The lead servant told people to put down the things, and then said something, 'The sage reminds the prince not to forget his duty'... It seems to be this sentence."

It was very late at that time, Wang Lu came out to meet people instead of the crown prince, and he was already in a daze, so it was hard for him to memorize that sentence exactly.

Fortunately, Li Pei understood it as soon as he heard it.

This kind of thing happened once not long ago. In order not to ask him to leave the mansion to find Fu Nanyin, the sage used the same tricks.

This time I asked someone to bring a box of memorials...

Li Pei twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly, and was about to get up and go to the study, but after walking a few steps, his feet stopped suddenly.

It's not as simple as last time.

"I don't know……"

Maybe it's because after staying with Fu Nanyin for a long time, Li Pei gradually seldom used the word "solitary".There was a rare look of confusion on his face, not because he couldn't see through any conspiracy and tricks in the court, but because in a trance, he felt a momentary loosening of a certain attachment he had had for many years.

Wang Lu raised his head.

"He has always valued power and the interests of the royal family, why does he help me again and again?"

Although Wang Lu is not a person with Jing Tianwei's talents and learning, he has understood the entanglement between the father and son of the Tian family for so many years.some

The authorities are obsessed with the matter, but he, a bystander, has no guts to comment on the royal matter.

So the subordinate official opened his mouth and just sighed.

"I don't know."

Li Pei didn't care about what he said, but murmured: "He can see clearly that I am not suitable to be the crown prince anymore."

Wang Lu was somewhat complicated on the surface.

The crown prince is unwilling to return to the palace, since he left the East Palace five years ago and hid in the Kaiyuan gambling house, he has been rejecting his status as the crown prince every day; if it wasn't for the missing little warlock, he would not have come back here until now.

Wang Lu had held grievances for the prince for a long time, and the Tian family's family affection was weak. In the past two years, he finally met someone who could make him open his mind, but at the last moment, he shattered the prince's hope and left without a word. He goes.How many sins would it take to meet this catastrophe?

But looking at it now, I realize that I was wrong.

Perhaps His Highness has his own conclusions about the affection of the Mobei national teacher, but...

"The sage knows it better than anyone else." Wang Lu, who has always been secretive about this, dared to say to Li Pei for the first time, "There is no one in this world who is more suitable for the position of crown prince than you... ..."

The King of Linzi is nothing more than a pawn placed by the sage trying to "wake up" His Highness.

……

The Proton Mansion has been clean for many days. Ever since the rumor spread, the value of Fu Nanyin, the national teacher of Mobei, in the eyes of the ministers in the Central Plains court has been lost. Neither Zhao Shuncai nor the people from Liubu Yushitai have ever had more than half a relationship with him. connect.

The deserted house was finally forgotten again.

The peaceful days passed slowly, especially the day before leaving the city. Even though it was still cold and cold in spring, Yao Guang felt that the days had become extraordinarily long.

There is still a long time until the ugly time.

Yao Guang didn't expect the owner to pack up the things in the house. Although Funanyin likes to collect curios, he doesn't want to be a burden when "running for his life".It's just... the latter has been sitting on that low stool since he woke up early in the morning, looking at the letter paper received last night on the table in a daze.

Sitting is several hours.

Maybe he was thinking about going out of town tonight.Funanyin has always been cautious. Even if the other party said in the letter that everything is ready, he will still consider all the risks before acting, and finally make the most comprehensive plan.

Yao Guang had great confidence in him, and never doubted the reasoning of Fu Nanyin's actions. Naturally, he would not ask why he flipped through the letter paper with only a few numbers on it for so long, but dutifully I asked Fu Nanyin what he wanted for dinner.

The part of Funanyin's neck exposed upwards was slightly crimson, spreading all the way to her face.It's just that he was sitting in a place with a backlight, so others couldn't see clearly, it was just that the stove in the room was a little hot.

"Make it richer."

Funanyin's voice became a little hoarse, "I'll make it a few hours later, and I'll deliver it at midnight." After a pause, he added, "Warm another pot of wine."

Yao Guang was a little confused.To say that the dinner was sumptuous, he could still understand a little bit, after all, he was leaving soon, so it was a farewell banquet; but he remembered that the agreed time to leave was at three o'clock in the ugly hour, isn't it too late for the meal in the middle of the night?

Besides, why drink again

But even if he wanted to ask, the people in the room had no intention of explaining. After saying these two sentences, they waved their hands and asked people to go out.

Funanyin noticed something strange on her body, she felt dizzy and hot, presumably it was because of the cold wind blowing last night, which caused her to burn early this morning.

It's a pity that there are too many troubles tonight. In order not to startle the snake, Funanyin knows what to do - it's better to wait and see what happens, don't do anything, and don't call a doctor, let alone ask Liu Yigong to go out of the palace to diagnose his pulse.

The remaining half of the day is very difficult for those who want to leave all the time.

Although he has never stepped out of the mansion for more than a month, Yao Guang has a rough idea of ​​the layout outside the Proton Mansion.Although their mansion is remote, it is only half a stick of incense away from Anhua Gate. If it weren't for the Jinwu guards on the third floor outside the mansion, and the guards at the city gate to guard against death, he wanted to take the master Leaving Chang'an was as easy as pie.

Therefore, if the messenger can really lure away the guards outside the mansion and the city gate,

, Yao Guang thought that there was no need to doubt the plan tonight.

But Funanyin seemed to be waiting for someone.

Compared with the uncontrollable restlessness in Yao Guang's heart, Funan's voice was always calm, even a lot more reticent than usual, as if nothing would really happen today.

In the middle of the night, there was finally some movement in the mansion.

There were no candles lit in Funanyin's room, only a luminous pearl placed beside the couch gave off a faint light.The low table was filled with six or seven dishes of different dishes, and two pairs of chopsticks were quietly and neatly placed aside, Fu Nanyin did not move a sip; two wine bottles had already been filled with pure wine, and he also did not drink a drop.

Yao Guang stood behind Fu Nanyin, who was still excited about leaving Chang'an in the morning, he was obviously on guard at this moment, looking at the door without blinking, as if he was afraid of going back to the house like last night. A tributary arrow shot over, hurting the master in the slightest.

The wooden door was knocked three times, and there was a very soft "click".

This is actually the most gentle treatment this Taoist has received for so long.Funanyin curled her lips silently, and raised her hand to ask Yao Guang behind her to open the door.

There is a trace of long-lost dampness in the night wind, and probably no one thought that Chang'an, which has always been dry, would have such a heavy cold night rain in early spring.Funanyin met the eyes of the person outside the door, and they all smiled tacitly.

The man took off the fox fur that had been drenched by the rain, and the moon-white brocade robe looked a bit bright in the dark room.

Funanyin raised her hand to ask him to take a seat.

"The national teacher knows that I'm coming?"

Funanyin took out the letter that was stuck on Liujian last night from her sleeve, and unfolded it. There was a small round hole in the middle, but it just avoided all the important contents in her heart.

His voice was very low, somewhat different from his usual clear voice.

"At three o'clock in the ugly hour, the gates of the city are wide open, and there are people to meet them."

Funanyin smiled and shook her head, "No one would be so foolish as to believe a messenger who dared not even show his face because of these twelve words, and would even lose his life... Your Highness Six."
