Afraid of trouble, the group of people tried to keep a low profile on the road, and stayed in hotels at ordinary times, rarely bothering local officials.

This time was no exception, Qi Haoran didn't notify the officials of the Jingzhao Mansion, and naturally he didn't notify the people who stayed behind in the hidden mansion, so no one came out to greet them.

The chief guard knocked on the door. He thought it would take a long time. After all, only one room was guarded in the Qian Mansion. The General's Mansion is so big and the owner is not at home. There might not be someone guarding the door all the time.

But I didn't expect that as soon as he knocked on the door, the door opened immediately. A man who looked like a servant looked at the chief guard and asked, "What are you doing? You want someone to enter through the corner door. This is the door."

The chief guard smiled gently and said, "The lord has returned to the mansion, you go and ask Zhu De to come out to greet him."

The servant was taken aback, first glanced at the head guard, then looked at the five large carriages in front of the door, hurriedly opened the door, saluted and said: "You will go later, the little one will go here."

Let another servant inside the door greet them, and ran towards the mansion like flying.

Zhu De was sitting on the master chair drinking tea, and said slowly with his son Zhu Quan: "The news from Kaifeng said that someone saw the prince and concubine over there. You should restrain yourself recently. If the prince didn't go back to Beijing with the emperor , I'm afraid they will bypass Jingzhao Mansion."

Zhu Quan frowned and said: "Why did the prince come to Jingzhao Mansion when he has nothing to do?"

"What do you know, the concubine's natal family is in Xingzhou mansion, and you can't pass through our Jingzhao mansion from the north to Xingzhou mansion?" Zhu De sighed: "The prince is good at everything, but he loves the concubine too much, maybe they will come here Well, so you all have to be more honest recently, the prince is very hot-tempered, and he can't look down on these things the most."

Zhu Quan could only bow his head in response.

"Master Zhifu has taken good care of us and sent someone to inform him."

Zhu Quan refused to accept it and said, "What kind of caring is he? The last time his son took a fancy to the piece of land in Dongcheng, he just refused to let go. I sent someone to buy it from those mud legs, but he even secretly sent a yamen servant to stop it, thinking that After pushing the yamen servant to come forward, I don't know that he is behind the scenes?"

Zhu De frowned and scolded: "Idiot, do you think I'm selling the prefect? ​​I'm protecting you. We are grasshoppers on the same rope. If something happens to him, it will definitely implicate us. This prefect Although there are many disadvantages, everyone is familiar with it after all, and it is better than a newcomer who does not know the details, and if the prince and princess come to Jingzhao Mansion this time, it may be a chance for us."

People all over the world know that the prince hates corrupt and cruel officials, and the officials in the officialdom are especially afraid. The magistrate has turned a blind eye to allowing them to make trouble all these years. he.

Just as Zhu De was about to teach his son, a servant rushed over and shouted, "Chief, Chief..."

Zhu frowned, Zhu Quan scolded: "What are you shouting about, this is the General's Mansion, what's the proper way to make such noise?"

The servant took a breath, pointed to the outside and shouted: "Chairman, uncle, a guard and five carriages came outside, saying that the prince is back."

Zhu De's complexion changed drastically, and the teacup fell to the ground with a flick.

He thought that the prince might come to Jingzhao Mansion, but he never thought that he would arrive today. Zhu De took a look at the clothes on himself and his son, and quickly got up and said, "Quickly ask someone to clean up this place, and you should go back and change quickly. Take off all the ornaments on your body."

Qi Haoran lay in Mu Yangling's arms and slept soundly, while the accompanying guards were still sitting on the horse, motionless.

The window of a carriage in the back was pushed open a little, an imperial doctor poked his head out to have a look, then turned his head and whispered to his colleagues: "It's been three quarters of an hour, it seems that something is going to happen in Jingzhao Mansion."

The other imperial doctor still closed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry about it, we just need to take care of the prince's health, even if something happens to them, they will have to blame themselves. We have passed through so many towns all the way west from Jinan Mansion, although there are grievances. But no one can be so arrogant.”

"This is a servant of the royal family, he is too courageous..."

The bold Zhude father and son ran out of the mansion in a hurry, wearing gray cloth clothes, knelt down in front of the carriage, begged for sin, and said: "My lord, forgive me, I don't know the lord's return to the mansion, and I am far away to welcome you. It's the fault of the little ones."

Qi Haoran opened his eyelids, and asked with difficulty: "What's wrong?"

Mu Yangling patted him and said with a smile: "It's okay, the servants are a little surprised, it's okay if you wake up, we go to sleep in the mansion."

Qi Haoran quietly got up when he heard the words, and said after a while: "Let the imperial doctor change the prescription, it's too uncomfortable to feel drowsy every time after taking the medicine."

Mu Yangling said with a smile: "Sleeping is also a way for the body to regulate."

The couple talked for a while, and left Zhu De and Zhu Quan there. The father and son hadn't knelt like this for a long time, and they were on the verge of falling.

Mu Yangling also poured Qi Haoran a glass of water, and then said through the curtain: "Get up, we will stay for one night, and leave early in the morning. You ask someone to clean up the prince's yard, and the imperial doctors live in it." In the guest courtyard, the guards live in the front courtyard."

Zhu De and Zhu Quan breathed a sigh of relief, they only stayed for one day, it was great, they quickly helped them get up and lead the way.

The servant removed the threshold to allow the carriage to enter.

After entering the mansion, Mu Yangling helped Qi Haoran get out of the car. The two nodded slightly satisfied when they saw that the mansion was clean.

Glancing at the gray cloth clothes on the two of them, Mu Yangling didn't say anything, and helped Qi Haoran go to the backyard. From a distance, he saw two maids helping a young woman in gold and silver out of the garden In a hurry to leave.

A drop of cold sweat slid down Zhuquan's forehead. That was his concubine. Didn't they have been told to go back to the room and not allowed to go out?

Why are you still in the garden?

Mu Yangling didn't seem to notice, and straightly supported Qi Haoran back to their yard.

Their room was already covered with dust. Mu Yangling wiped his fingers on the table, and the fingertips were covered with dust. Now even Zhu De's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Mu Yangling still said with a smile: "Have someone bring water to clean the room. We have quilts with us, just ask them to bring them in and make them ready. Bring me a pot of hot water."

Qi Haoran's face was ugly, and after everyone retreated, he said to Mu Yangling: "Let's go to the inn."

"No," Mu Yangling said, "Going to the inn is not as comfortable as being at home?"

Qi Haoran took a deep breath, sat for a while with a livid face, and said, "Both Chief Zhu and Zhu Liang are quite capable, and they haven't lost their eyes in that bustling place in the capital..."

"Everyone has their own destiny, so don't worry about this matter, we just stay for one night and then leave, don't forget, we are here to accompany me to visit my relatives and play along the way."

Qi Haoran didn't believe it, "You just let go of it?"

Mu Yangling sneered, "I'll have to work hard to take care of it. Since there are so many smart people in this world, someone will take care of these things for us."
