forced into marriage

Hearing his words, Lin Xi, who was still looking at Chu Yi firmly, immediately put away his expression, feeling a little annoyed.

What did I just say!Still so sure!

But...it is, those people don't really understand a person, what qualifications do they have to judge a person, they know how to spread rumors all day long.

Lin Xi thought so.

Chu Yi stopped teasing him, remembering that he came here and still had business to do, so he turned a corner and said, "I'm curious, why did the emperor ask me for a marriage two months ago, and who is the other party?" The kind of person who can make him beg me for the first time."

When he said this, he intentionally emphasized the words 'two months ago' slightly, but Lin Xi didn't seem to be able to react, only heard the latter, and smiled lightly: "This is the same person now."

It was obviously a very common sentence, but when it came out of Lin Xi's mouth, it felt a little indescribable.

It's like in other words, that is, the person in front of him is a man with a bad reputation.

When Lin Xi regained his composure and finally remembered those three words, he raised his head with lowered eyes, and looked at Chu Yi in surprise and doubt.

"What do you mean two months ago?"

Seeing that he finally came to his senses, Chu Yi pretended not to hear him, changed the subject, said that he had something to ask Chu Yu, and then slipped away, leaving Lin Xi in the room who had not yet received an answer.

As soon as he came out, he saw Yan Qi who had been waiting outside after talking about the situation.

"How is it?" Yan Qi asked expectantly.

Chu Yi smiled and nodded in response.

Yan Qi got excited and was about to applaud, but was stopped by Chu Yi: "Keep your voice down."

She glanced at the door, understood, then closed her mouth and said softly: "Let's go."

The two of them were just like the one who had just done a big event, and they were very happy to walk outside the meditation courtyard. When they came out, Xiao Ran happened to be walking in with some snacks, because when he came out earlier, he heard Uncle Li say that , the emperor came, so he guessed that the one next to Yan Qi was, and immediately saluted.

Chu Yi nodded slightly to signal him to get up, and then left happily with Yan Qi.

Yan Qi said the reason for sending Chu Yi off, and followed him into the palace again, and they had to discuss what to do next this time.

And Lin Xi here.

Because of Chu Yi's words, Lin Xi hadn't figured it out yet, so he was about to get up and ask Chu Yu himself.

He was about to sit up, but Xiao Ran saw it as soon as he came in, quickly put down his snacks, ran over, pressed his shoulders, and pushed him back to sit.

He began to mutter: "Your leg has just been medicated, where are you going! If it doesn't get better in a few days, I can't hide it from the master and the others for you, son, your own body, you have to think about yourself Think about it, you really don't want this leg?"

Xiao Ran wanted to say a few words, but was interrupted by Lin Xi.

"Xiao Ran, listen to me, now I have to go to Chu Yu to find out one thing, or else your son and I will end up in this life!"

"What is the end of this life?" Xiao Ran didn't understand.

Lin Xi explained to him: "Just now, Chu Yu's elder brother is His Majesty, what did he say? Chu Yu asked him to marry him two months ago. At that time, I didn't know Chu Yu at all. , so what kind of marriage did Chu Yu ask for!"

Xiao Ran probably understands it, but he seems to understand it completely differently from Lin Xi.

"I understand." He smiled back and asked, "Young master, is this jealous?"

Lin Xi was speechless, he grew up with him, why can't he always think of things together?

"No, you don't think he looks like that kind of person."

It seems to be the same.

Lin Xi added: "Also, even if I don't know him, he is willing to know me. Besides, how could there be someone who has never met before, who treats me so well when we meet suddenly? It's so nice that people doubt it. .”

This time, Xiao Ran really understood: "So you think..."

"It's sir!" He answered quickly, but he couldn't be sure, "Not sure, I still have to test it out."

"You should be more cautious." He pushed back Lin Xi, who was about to stand up now, "But no matter what, I can't let you out of this room again before your legs are fully recovered. If you're bored, it won't work either!"

He added: "Furthermore, if you ran up to him like this now, he would definitely scold you directly."

"So what you have to do now is lie down and wait for the injury to heal."

Lin Xi couldn't resist him, so he could only lie down.

According to Lin Xi's previous personality, he would definitely not listen to Xiao Ran, and would have gone straight to ask Chu Yu if he was a husband, and definitely would not have said something like slowly testing it out.

But it can't work now. If his leg still doesn't heal after a while, he really can't hide it from Lin Yun's birthday, so he must heal his leg injury first.

If he didn't restrain his original reckless character, then if he admitted the wrong person, let alone that he didn't find Mr., what would Chu Yu think from a certain angle.

After Xiao Ran instructed him, he left the room and closed the door. He turned his back to the door and looked at the courtyard door.

With the son's character, something will happen, I have to help him.

The next day

Sure enough, Xiao Ran really didn't let Lin Xi leave the room, and Chu Yu also agreed. At the same time, Chu Yu went to court again, so... Xiao Ran entered Chu Yu's study on the pretext of delivering something for Lin Xi.

When the husband gave the jade pendant to the son, he said that there were two pieces of the jade pendant, one was given to the son, and the other was worn by the gentleman himself.

If Chu Yu is really a husband, then the jade pendant must still be there.

So Xiao Ran began to search around.

A quarter of an hour later, he searched the entire study room, but he still couldn't find it. He also looked for the books on the bookshelf, but they couldn't find them either.

Is it true that you have misunderstood the wrong person?

Xiao Ran scratched his head, he was still puzzled, but when he turned his head, he saw a bamboo green pen holder, inside which was a long box covered by several pens.

He stepped forward, pushed aside the pens, and took out the long box. The box was made of wood. If you didn't look carefully, you might think it was a paperweight.

He opened the wooden box, and inside was another piece in Lin Xi's hand. Holding the opened box in his hand, Xiao Ran was stunned.

He picked up the jade pendant and examined it carefully. It was that piece.

He wanted to take the jade pendant back to show Lin Xi, but when he heard voices outside, he immediately put the jade pendant away, put the box back into the pen container, and forcibly calmed down, before walking out calmly.

I just ran into Uncle Li who was about to come in to clean.

"Hey, Xiao Ran, why are you here?" Seeing that Xiao Ran appeared here for no reason, he was a little suspicious.

Seeing Uncle Li's skeptical expression, Xiao Ran looked calm on the surface, but panicked in his heart: "Look at your memory, I'm here to deliver something for the young master, and I told you when I came."

"Oh, remember!" After saying this, he remembered, "Hey, when you get old, you have a poor memory."

Xiao Ran looked at him awkwardly and smiled.

"Now that the things have been delivered, I will go back and report to the young master."

Uncle Li agreed, and watched Xiao Ran leave with a smile.

After Xiao Ran left, he quickly walked to the bookshelf, he was relieved when he saw that the bronze statue had not been moved, turned around and scanned the desk once, and he was completely relieved that there was no change.

He left the study with peace of mind, but this time he became vigilant and locked the door.

-

Xiao Ran returned to the Jingxinyuan, saw that there was no one outside the courtyard, and hurried to Lin Xi's room. Once he entered, he looked outside again, carefully closed the door and locked it.

Lin Xi, who could only stay on the bed obediently, heard the sound and turned to look at the screen: "Xiao Ran, what are you doing with the door closed?"

Xiao Ran didn't answer him, and walked up to Lin Xi: "My lord, do you still have the jade pendant that Mister gave you?"

Lin Xi didn't know why, but he still took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to him: "It's still there, what's wrong?"

"It's good that I'm here, it's good that I'm here." Seeing that Lin Xi's jade pendant was still there, Xiao Ran dispelled the idea of ​​losing the jade pendant, took a small stool from the side and sat down.

"If King Ning is really a gentleman, then the other piece of this jade pendant must be with him, so I sneaked into his study while he was going to court in the morning, and I found it."

Lin Xi looked at him in surprise: "What about the jade pendant?"

Xiao Ran explained to him: "Because Uncle Li is here, I came back in a hurry and didn't take it."

He nodded and looked down at the jade pendant in his hand.

It doesn't have to be him, what if it was picked up, or fake.

He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly raised his head: "That's right! You go back to Yongning Hou Mansion and bring all the letters written by those gentlemen."

"What do you want those things for?"

"You can't tell just by a piece of jade pendant. You bring the letter, look at the writing of Mr. and Chu Yu, and compare it to know whether he is Mr. or not."

Xiao Ran understood, and immediately got up and ran back to get it.

Why hide it?

If it is Mr., what should I say?

Is it to ask why Chu Yu kept it from him, or to ask why the husband left suddenly and reappeared in this capacity?

When it was approaching lunch time, Chu Yu finally turned down. When he got off the carriage, he saw Xiao Ran holding a wooden box and was about to go to the mansion, so he stopped him.

Xiao Ran thought someone called him, but when he turned around, he saw the person he was most worried about seeing. He prayed not to see Chu Yu on the way back, but...

He hugged the thing even tighter: "I have seen the prince."

Chu Yu nodded in response, he stepped forward, glanced at the thing in Xiao Ran's arms, and began to ask: "This is?"

Xiao Ran was so nervous that he didn't know how to speak, but fortunately someone saved him.

In front of Chu Yu's carriage, there was a carriage parked. It was the carriage of the Yongning Hou Mansion. From above, a maid came down first, and then a woman.

Chu Yu recognized who the woman was, it was Lin Xi's younger sister, Lin Yun.

He was curious why Lin Yun came to Prince Ning's Mansion suddenly: "Why did you come to Prince Ning's Mansion today?"

"I've seen the prince." She bowed slightly and saluted Xiao Ran with a smile, "I came to the mansion today to invite the prince to attend my father's birthday for a few days, and to see my brother. The box contained snacks for my brother."

"Yongning waits for his birthday in a few days, why didn't the princess say it?" Chu Yu was actually laughing when he said this!

Lin Yun was really awkward hearing the words wangfei, but thinking about it, Chu Yu is a prince, and if his elder brother married him, he would naturally be a wangfei, so she didn't have much expression.

Jokingly said: "Brother always wants to play, how can he remember these things."
