? After going downstairs, Huai Jun looked back, and suddenly saw a woman in plain clothes. When he looked again, he remembered that it was she who went to Yongning Temple to pay homage to Concubine Jun.

Huai Jun said to Chen Pu: "Wait for me here." Then he walked in front of the woman.

Only now did he see the woman's face clearly, the pair of single phoenix eyes were very familiar.

Huai Jun stopped thinking about it, and asked, "Madam, have you and I met before?"

Although it was a little abrupt, but after that day, from time to time, he wondered who would go to worship his mother?Now that you see it, you should ask what happened.

When the woman saw Huai Jun, her pupils shrank, but she still had a polite smile on her face, and she couldn't see any flaws at all.

She replied: "No."

Her voice was a little hoarse, Huai Jun thought for a while, but it was the female voice upstairs just now.

Huai Jun lowered his voice and said, "I met Madam in the western suburbs of Yongning Temple."

She remembered what happened that day, and knew that she couldn't hide it, so she said frankly, "An old friend of mine was buried there."

"Ma'am, are you my mother's old acquaintance?" His lips trembled slightly, his heart was a little excited, but also a little sad, as if as long as he found someone who knew Concubine Jun, his connection with Concubine Jun in this world would be the same. It seems unclear.

"You, you are, too..." The woman feigned surprise and said, "Third Young Master?"

Seeing her revealing his ranking, Huai Jun believed that she did know Concubine Jun.He nodded and responded, "Yes."

"Oh." The woman sighed, and then smiled lovingly: "Ru Jun often mentions you, fearing that you will have a bad life there, if she knows that you are living so well now, she will become a... Feel relieved."

"Madam, when did you and mother meet?" Huai Jun asked, hoping to learn more about Concubine Jun.

"We have known each other since we were young. I watched her get married happily, but I didn't expect it to end up like this..." As soon as the words came out, the woman hurriedly covered her face, which was still as beautiful as ever in the years. Lips, "Third Young Master, please forgive me."

"I understand what madam means, and madam is not guilty at all." Huai Jun recalled what happened three years ago, and the knot in his heart followed the woman's words, and tied another knot.

Suddenly, the shopkeeper came to the woman with a flattering face: "Madam Chen, is today's show okay?"

The woman smiled: "Who dares to say that the play of Yuanming Theater is not allowed?"

"It's good that Mrs. Chen likes it. Boss Li knows that Mrs. Chen is watching a play in our building today, so he specially asked the younger one to see if Mrs. Chen has left. If she hasn't left, I hope to invite Mrs. Chen to sit on the second floor."

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen's pupils shrank again, but the smile on her face remained the same.She said to Huai Jun: "Third Young Master, let's get together another day, and then I will tell you about Rudu."

Huai Jun glanced at Mrs. Chen gratefully, and didn't stay any longer.

However, when he looked back, he saw no trace of Chen Pu, and hurried out of the Xiangpin Building.At this time, the sky was already yellow, and he saw Chen Pu talking to a man outside the building, and that man was the one he had asked to put up a screen to isolate just now—Master An.

Having said that, just after Huai Jun left Chen Pu for a few steps, the young master of the An family saw the opportunity and pulled Chen Pu outside the Xiangpin Building. Afterwards, he decided that Huai Jun had done this, and followed Nuo Xu with determination.

Just now he received a note asking him to take the opportunity to tell the young man in front of him about Boss An's assassination, but after thinking about it, he didn't understand the purpose of this move, but he did it anyway.

Chen Pu understands that good people don't come, even though he doesn't know the identity of the person in front of him, he also understands that nothing good will happen.

So before Young Master An spoke, Chen Pu spoke first: "My lord, you and I don't know each other."

Young Master An felt a little embarrassed, but when he thought of his father's unexplained death, even if he didn't understand the purpose of this move, he still bite the bullet and said: "I have never met you before." After saying the matter, Chen Pu turned around and left.

He squeezed Chen Pu's hand hard, forcing him to turn around, and said anxiously: "My father was assassinated and died outside the gate of the house a month and a half ago, do you know the reason?"

Such a sentence is enough to make Chen Pu's heart uneasy. He has long known the cruelty and ruthlessness of the people in the court, but it wasn't three years ago when Min Luo died, he touched his chin, and it wasn't three years ago. Before and after Minxuan wanted to put him to death, even if he guessed the truth, it was not so difficult to accept.

He didn't intend to argue with Young Master An, but he still touched his chin and asked, "Three years ago, I was assassinated. Although I survived, I still have this scar. Young master, do you know the reason?" ?”

Young Master An made some calculations in his mind - judging from his listening to the drama with Huai Jun, they must have a very close relationship, so he must belong to Huai Jun's faction. Nuo Xu did it.

Thinking about it this way, they were all just victims in the court struggle, so Young Master An felt a little sympathy for Chen Pu, but they couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong.

He scolded: "They are all wolf-hearted people."

Just as Chen Pu was about to speak, he saw Huai Jun coming out of Xiangpin Building.Young Master An followed Chen Pu's line of sight, and suddenly met Huai Jun's eyes, and he remembered what he was told to do on the note, so he forcibly pulled Chen Pu forward.

When Huai Jun saw this, he was in a hurry and couldn't care about anything, so he immediately caught up with them.

At this time, the sky was dim and there were few people, Young Master An grabbed Chen Pu who was struggling constantly, and blatantly led Huai Jun to the dark alley.

When Huai Jun chased to the dark alley and saw six people standing in the alley besides Young Master An and Chen Pu, he realized that he had been tricked, but it was impossible for him to leave Chen Pu behind.

He looked at Young Master An, and asked coldly, "Master An, what do you mean?"

Facing Huai Jun directly, Young Master An thought of his father covered in blood, dying tragically outside the gate of the house.That night, he swore an oath to avenge his father, and now that he had risked it all, he ignored his status as the prince of Huaijun, and made a gesture to let those six people surround Huaijun.

Those six people didn't make any further moves before they heard an "ah". It turned out that Chen Pu gave Young Master An a hard elbow in a panic, then broke free from his hand, broke through the two people in front of him, and protected him in the Huaihe River. In front of Jun.

He stretched his hand back and took Huai Jun's hand before he felt relieved.

"Hit!" Young Master An roared.

Huai Jun sneered, thinking to himself, did this Young Master An lose his head, or did he have no head at all?However, at this moment he was at a disadvantage, and it was impossible to fight one against six, so he quickly hugged Chen Pu, squatted down, and then protected him with his body, and his fists fell on him.

"Huai Jun." In the confusion, Chen Pu said from Huai Jun's arms: "Let go of me, don't protect me."

"It's okay." Huai Jun whispered, "Pu'er, I won't let you get hurt again."

Their fists were punching to the death, but Huai Jun bit his lower lip and endured it.It wasn't that he hadn't thought about breaking out, but Chen Pu had never learned martial arts, so he didn't want to let Chen Pu get hurt.

What's more, as long as he waits a little longer, when Nan rises, he will kill everyone who hurt them here!

Suddenly, the fists falling on the body became less and less, and there was no more fist falling in a moment, and what was exchanged was: "I am late to save you, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Hearing Nan Qi's voice, Huai Jun immediately felt relieved, looked up, and saw that six people had been knocked down to the ground, and the next moment they stumbled away with Young Master An, and then he let go of Chen Pu.

As soon as he moved, his back felt a burning pain. With a low moan, he bit his lower lip again and stood up.

"Nanqi." Huai Jun gave him a look, and he immediately understood and left immediately.

As soon as Nan Qi left, the two said at the same time: "Huaijun/Pu'er, are you okay?"

"It's okay." The two replied in unison.

"You still said it's okay." Chen Pu's eyes were red, worried about Huai Jun's injury, and cursed: "You shouldn't protect me, you are the prince, if something happens to you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Huai Jun interrupted him and said, "What will I do if something happens to you!"

"You," Chen Pu said, looking at Huai Jun's frowning brows and cold sweat on his forehead, he couldn't say a word of blame, so he took Huai Jun's hand and said in a low voice: "Go back and I will Give you medicine."

With just such a warm hand holding his, such a heartwarming word, it seems that Huai Jun's burning pain on his back has been melted away without any medicine.

He smiled, a smile that was extraordinarily dazzling under the dim sky.

They held hands and walked on the increasingly silent street. Although Huai Jun was injured, he should return to the palace quickly, but he thought, if he could hold hands with Chen Pu and walk on the street freely, he should go back later. Bar.

So his pace became slower and slower, Chen Pu thought that his injury was serious, so he didn't dare to walk fast, but the hand holding him became tighter and tighter, as if he didn't want to separate.

"That Young Master An..." Chen Pu asked softly, "Do you have a deep hatred with him?"

Huai Jun's heart trembled, thinking back when Chen Pu questioned him about Ming Luo's death, his mind became confused for a moment, and countless explanations and reasons emerged, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only purse his lips and hold his hands tightly. Hold Chen Pu.

Seeing that he was silent, Chen Pu guessed eight or nine points of the truth.

He asked again: "Does he regard you as an enemy who killed his father?" Still in the loneliness blown by the night wind, he smiled wryly, "Or is it not regarded as it anymore?"

"Pu'er..." Huai Jun opened his mouth with difficulty, but unexpectedly, Chen Pu stopped walking as soon as he spoke, his mind was completely blank, only the damp heat of his clasped hands was still clear.

The next moment, before he could react, Chen Pu hugged him, buried his head in his neck, and said in a low voice, "I don't know his father, and I won't regard you as an enemy. Huai Jun, If you say you are a wolf-hearted dog, I am nothing more than an empty conscience, if I were that great, I would not forgive you for what happened to the Fourth Prince."

It took a while for Huai Jun to react.He asked blankly: "You don't blame me?"

A low laugh came from his neck, and Chen Pu said mockingly, "When I'm selfish, I can't blame you for a stranger." He remembered that Huai Jun was protecting him by himself just now, so he could only say with trembling lips: "Don't protect me next time. What should I do if something happens to you?"

"I can't let you get hurt." Huai Jun said firmly.

"I can't let you get hurt." Chen Pu let go of Huai Jun's hand slightly, crossed his five fingers into Huai Jun's fingers, clasped his fingers tightly, and murmured, "We'll just live like this for the rest of our lives, okay?"

"Yeah." Huai Jun said happily, "Forever."

Huai Jun thought to himself, even though he suffered those fists, it was worth it.

Chen Pu thought in his heart, he didn't know that life would be easy, but now he only has one definite wish, which is to live a good life with Huai Jun.

The two let go of their arms and walked with their fingers clasped together.As they approached the imperial city, they suddenly saw a small stall placed under the banyan tree on the left, about ten steps away from them.

Chen Pu glanced curiously, and met the gaze of the stall owner who was still burning in the dark night.Huai Jun followed Chen Pu's line of sight, blocked their line of sight cautiously, and quickened his pace.

"Two gentlemen, do you want to tell your fortune?" The stall owner seemed young, but his voice was extremely hoarse: "The weather is fine these few nights, which is a good time to watch the stars at night. The two young masters are destined to pass by here, so why don't you come here and count them together?" Life."

Huai Jun walked even faster, worried that the stall owner was deliberately ambush them here.

"Flying dragon is in the sky." In the silent night, the stall owner's voice was very clear: "I always only tell fortunes for destined people, young master, are you really not counting?" His fiery eyes fell on Huai Jun, as if he had seen through him Worrying, "Young Master, if you want to listen, you can stand here."

The phrase "flying dragon is in the sky" made Huai Jun's pace slow down, and at this moment he even stopped in place, looking at him with pursed lips.

The stall owner stared at Huai Jun, and said, "Young Master, please say a word."

Huai Jun met the stall owner's eyes and said without hesitation: "Dragon."

The stall owner's eyes seemed to have a gleam of light, but they darkened again after a while, and then he sighed and shook his head lightly.

Seeing him shaking his head, Huai Jun grabbed Chen Pu and left.

After walking a few steps, the stall owner said again: "Another son, since you and I are destined, you can also say a word."

A word popped up in Chen Pu's mind, and he stopped abruptly, responding, "Xun."

Hearing this, the stall owner was obviously a little disappointed, and his eyes dimmed even more. Regardless of what he calculated, the word "Xun" and the word "Dragon" suited his situation.

After a while, when the two were about to leave, the stall owner said, "My lord, you have found all the people you are looking for. The two of you have a predestined relationship in previous lives, and you cannot do without. Remember to cherish it."

He also said: "You must know that there is a cliff in front of you, and the shore is at the back. If the leaves are insignificant, the bitterness will finally come."

When Huai Jun heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, knowing that this sentence was for him, he couldn't help cursing: "Nonsense, Pu'er, let's go."

Before Chen Pu could react, Huai Jun dragged him back to the palace.

After returning to the Hall of Showa, Chen Pu dispensed medicine for Huai Jun, and said, "I don't know what the fortune-teller means?"

Huai Jun laughed: "Don't keep the words of the warlocks in your heart."

On the same night, Nuo Xu came back from the dark outside the palace, and also ran into the "Warlock" outside the imperial city, and the stall owner finally saw a third person that night, and he said the same thing: "Please say a word, my lord." .”

Nuo Xu replied: "Dragon."

The stall owner's fiery gaze dimmed again, and he shook his head lightly again, but Nuo Xu didn't take it seriously, and just waited patiently for what he had calculated.

Finally, when he got a line of poetry, he smiled and returned to the palace in a good mood.

——After staying in a cage for a long time, I can return to nature.
