Seeing him looking down at the candied haws in his hand thoughtfully, Lin Shubai seemed to be looking at someone through the candied haws, her eyes gradually became sad.

Lin Shubai sighed silently, her eyes flickering with worry, she sneaked into her brother's study that day, besides eating a bunch of candied haws, she also found a painting on his desk, that day She had seen the painting before, but her brother snatched it back before she could see the face of the person in the painting. She also teased her brother that the person in the painting could be his sweetheart.

Not only did my brother not deny it, but he admitted it openly. He caressed the painting carefully, his eyes were full of tenderness and tenderness. Later, his brother used blood as medicine to let her know that his brother had a deep love for that person.

She picked up the painting on the desk and unfolded it. To her surprise, the person in the painting turned out to be His Royal Highness King An. She put away the painting in a panic, but did not let her brother notice it. His Highness Wang was taken away, and her brother anxiously led a team to search for several days, which made her even more sure that His Highness Wang An was her brother's favorite.

Later, my brother was sent back to the mansion because he couldn't sleep for several days and nights, and passed out. After waking up, he ignored everyone's obstruction and insisted on following the army to search for the trace of His Royal Highness King An. After His Highness learned about this matter, he sent someone to pass a word to his brother, and then the matter was calmed down.

Although my elder brother is recuperating peacefully in the house, he often sits alone in front of the case, gently rubbing the paintings on the case with his fingertips, the sadness between his eyebrows is thick, and those clear eyes are no longer the same She couldn't help worrying about her brother, which was why she forcibly pulled him out to relax.

Lin Shubai tugged on Lin Fengnian's arm, pulling him back from his drifting thoughts, she smiled at Lin Fengnian, and said softly: "Brother, there is a small wonton in front, which is delicious, let's go quickly , there will be no place any later.”

Lin Fengnian clenched the candied haws in his hand, nodded slightly: "Okay, let's go."

The crowd in Yanji quickly dispersed to both sides. Lin Fengnian, who was absent-minded, was pushed unsuspectingly. He raised his eyes and saw a gorgeous carriage driving slowly on the Qingshi Road. Slowly lowering the jade hand, the curtain was gently blown up by the wind, and a handsome man could be vaguely seen sitting in the carriage.

When Lin Fengnian saw the face passing by in the carriage, his pupils suddenly dilated, that was... that was His Highness!He was not mistaken, the person sitting in the carriage was His Highness.

Lin Fengnian withdrew his hand that was bound by Lin Shubai, and ran towards the carriage like crazy. He hurried through the crowd, but there were too many people standing in front of him, waiting for him to squeeze out of the crowd in the middle of the street By that time, the carriage had long since disappeared.

Lin Fengnian staggered two steps, looked around in a daze, his ups and downs made him look dazed: "Once again, I lost His Highness again."

"Brother——" Lin Shubai walked towards him quickly, and asked anxiously, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Why did you come here all of a sudden?"

Lin Fengnian said in a low voice: "I saw His Highness just now, but I lost His Highness again."

"His Royal Highness? Is it His Royal Highness King An?" Lin Shu frowned slightly: "Could it be that my brother has been too worried about the safety of His Highness King An these days, and misread it for a while, and now that the Hou Mansion has such a big change, if His Highness King An When I come back, I will definitely go to the Hou Mansion first, so why would I come to Changling Street to play?"

Hou Mansion?Lin Fengnian raised his head suddenly, yes!Hou Mansion!Isn't the direction of the carriage going to the Hou's Mansion?

"Let's go, let's go to Houfu."

Lin Shubai looked at Lin Fengnian's leaving back and stomped her feet angrily: "Hey—brother, why are you going to the Hou's Mansion!"

The wheels of the carriage rolled over the Qingshi street and made a "creaking" sound. Su Jingning slowly lowered the curtain, turned his head and asked, "Xiao Jiugu, where are you taking me? Wait a minute and you can let me go back." Is it the imperial palace? I have been missing for so long, Father Huang and Brother Yuan must be very anxious."

Xiao Jiugu put his hands on Su Jingning's shoulders, his pale pupils suddenly darkened: "Your Highness, I'm going to take you to the Marquis's Mansion now, because... General Weiyuan was unfortunately killed when he was besieging the rebel party. He was hit by several arrows and passed away due to his serious injuries. Today the Hou Mansion is holding a funeral, Your Highness..."

"No...impossible, you lied to me. Uncle has experienced many battles and is very skilled in martial arts. How could he lose his life because of a small rebellion? You lied to me!" Su Jingning's eyes were a little confused Blushing, hands clenched into fists.

In fact, he knew very well that Xiao Jiugu would never lie to him, let alone joke with him about such things, but he didn't want to recognize this fact, and he didn't dare to accept the fact that his uncle had died, preferring to deceive himself into thinking that his uncle had died. still alive.

Xiao Jiu felt a pain in his heart, and secretly blamed himself, if it wasn't for him, maybe His Highness would not have lost his uncle, he stretched out his hand to hold Su Jingning in his arms: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, if it wasn't for me, General Weiyuan would not have died .”

Su Jingning froze, what did Xiao Jiugu mean by this?He vaguely remembered that the ending of his uncle in the original book was the tragic ending of being hit by Xiao Jiugu's sword first and then being hacked to death by random knives. But Xiao Jiugu has been with him these days, so what does his uncle's death have to do with him? relation?

Su Jingning's voice was very soft, choked with sobs: "What if it's not because of you? What do you mean by that?"

"Your Highness, I—" Xiao Jiu didn't finish his sentence, but was interrupted by the coachman outside the carriage. The coachman slowly parked the carriage in front of the Hou's Mansion, and raised his voice: "Master, the Hou's Mansion is here."

Hearing this, Su Jingning didn't care about listening to Xiao Jiugu's words, turned around and got off the carriage.

The golden plaque that said Xuhou Mansion was surrounded by plain snow white satin, and white lanterns with memorial characters were hung on both sides of the gate.

Su Jingning bent down and squatted down, picked up a piece of white paper money on the ground with trembling hands, tears poured out of his eyes, the Hou Mansion in front of him was as silent as if covered in heavy snow, he couldn't even deceive himself, the paper money in his hand was quickly wiped out. Wet with tears.

Su Jingning tightly held the paper money in his hand, and walked slowly towards the Hou's Mansion. The main gate of the Hou's Mansion was wide open. Standing in front of the gate, one could clearly see the mourning hall surrounded by white wreaths. The dark coffin was placed in the center of the mourning hall. The white candles in the mourning hall are faint, and Xu Ting's memorial tablet is placed on the mourning table in front of the coffin

Su Jingning's heart was surging, his red eyes were fixed on the memorial tablet in the mourning hall, he staggered forward, his left foot accidentally tripped over the threshold, his body fell forward unsteadily, and he followed closely Xiao Jiu, who was behind him, quickly stepped forward to support him, preventing him from falling to the ground.

The servant guarding the door saw the person coming, stepped forward quickly, and said anxiously: "His Royal Highness King An is really you! Great, His Royal Highness King An, you are finally back!"

The little servant lifted his robe and fell to his knees with a "plop", then kowtowed to Su Jingning: "Your Highness, I beg you to go and see my little lord. Since the general's accident, the little lord has taken care of himself. Shut up in the room and don't eat or drink, and won't open the door even if anyone knocks, the little duke and His Highness have had a good relationship since childhood, and the little duke listens to His Highness the most, Your Highness, go and see my little duke."

Su Jingning stretched out his hand to help the boy up, and said in a hoarse voice, "What happened to uncle? His martial arts are so high, how could he..."

The little servant paused for a moment and said: "The general and the young master led troops to encircle and suppress the remaining rebels. Unexpectedly, the young master was in an ambush, and the general shielded the young master with his body to block the arrows. In the end, he was seriously injured before... ..”

"Ambush? Which of them is in ambush?" Su Jingning's hands were trembling uncontrollably under his wide sleeves, clenched tightly into fists.

"A-Ning!" Su Yanyuan walked towards him quickly, reaching out to hug Su Jingning into his arms, his clear voice trembling: "A-Ning, where have you been these days? I interrogated the rebels who were brought back, and they It is said that Xia Nianzhi did not take you away, where did you go?"

"Brother Yuan." Tears flowed down Su Jingning's cheeks, and slowly fainted as they fell on the skirt of his clothes.

Su Yanyuan stretched out his hand to comfort Su Jingning's long black hair, slowly raised his head and saw Xiao Jiugu who was standing behind Su Jingning, and instantly understood, his eyes were clouded with a trace of sullen anger: "A Ning was taken away by you of?"

Xiao Jiugu lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, "Yes, on the day Your Highness got married, I replaced the guards of Prince An's Mansion, and then took His Highness away."

Unstoppable anger flashed in Su Yanyuan's eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know what the consequences are because of your actions? If it wasn't because of you..." Su Yanyuan looked down at the person in his arms, and looked at Su Jingning Gently pushed to Jiang He's side: "Jiang He, look after Aning."

It was the first time that Su Jingning saw Su Yanyuan look so angry. He raised Su Yanyuan's fist fiercely. Seeing that the fist was about to be thrown out, Su Jingning broke free from Jiang Heben and grabbed his hand without much effort, and rushed forward to reach out. Stand in front of Xiao Jiugu.

Xiao Jiugu's pupils shrank, and he shielded Su Jingning behind him. His fist wrapped in a strong wind landed heavily on Xiao Jiugu's back. Affected: "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Su Jingning shook his head, and looked at him worriedly: "Did brother Yuan's fist hit you just now, are you okay?"

Xiao Jiugu smiled lightly: "Your Highness, I can hold on to Dongshou's serious injury, just a mere punch is not worth mentioning."

Seeing the intimate behavior of the two, Su Yanyuan's expression turned extremely pale. He tried his best to suppress the anger surging in his heart: "A'Ning, you and Xiao Jiu... didn't you say you would never like him again? Why? Still want to be with him, Xiao Jiu deceived you so far, it's not worthy of your entrustment, what's more, if it wasn't because of him, Xia Nianzhi wouldn't have escaped on the wedding day, and uncle wouldn't..."
