Chapter 11

The Prince Regent's Mansion has always had its own secret forces. In addition to the secret guards who guard the owner like shadows, there are also secret agents who close the door and are responsible for investigating news.

Those who hold such important positions are all top masters who come and go without a trace, and the tasks they take over are naturally extremely difficult tasks, but tonight the masters are all a bit hit.

My lord, why do you call a master of style to go deep into a brothel to find a woman?
Late at night, the West Pavilion is still brightly lit with candles.

Sitting at the table, Xiao Zheng put down the teacup in his hand, looked up at Zhao Quan, "You said she went to the Chu Nan Pavilion and met Liu Ke?"

"Yes, my lord."

Xiao Zheng pursed his lips, waved his hands noncommittally, Zhao Quan immediately bowed and withdrew.

No wonder the sudden plan for his own future has something to do with Liu Ke again!

Xiao Zheng's chest is full of depression, don't want him to be responsible, but he cares so much about a scholar's drunken words!He is a majestic regent, but he is not as good as a scholar?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he was taken aback. Why was he so angry?

That's right, the dignity of being the regent has been trampled so far, so it's no wonder if you don't get angry!
After reassuring myself in this way, I finally gave up.But this night, I didn't sleep very well...

On the second day, the envoy of Qinghai State resigned and returned home.

During this trip, the three envoys stayed in Liangdu for more than a month. They successfully completed a number of major transactions with Liang Guo, signed a series of commercial contracts, and reached a number of oral consensus. The atmosphere was friendly.Dongde Zhuoyi expressed his deep gratitude for the warm reception received during the visit.

It was almost noon when we set off, the weather was fine and the wind was smooth.The Prince Regent personally led some officials to see them off at the city tower, fully expressing their sincere desire for an alliance between the two countries.

Wen Su was also on the list of seeing her off. Dongde Zhuoyi had a good impression of her. Before leaving, he even pulled her to say a few words, one of which made the men present a little embarrassed.

She said: "Master Wen is in a high position, so he should do something practical."

Wen Sujing, do you think this is Qinghai?

The envoys finally finished their farewell, and all the adults went down the tower and returned to their families.

Xiao Zheng didn't sleep well last night, and he showed a trace of fatigue unabashedly after seeing him off.

He went down the tower unhurriedly, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Wen Su, who was wearing a plain green court dress, followed each step with his head bowed slightly.

When one is tired, one's mood can't get better, and now seeing Wen Su, the thoughts from last night came to mind again, which really added fuel to the fire.

In her eyes, she is not as good as a poor scholar!

What a shame!

As if feeling his emotions, Wen Su suddenly raised her eyes and met his gloomy eyes, startled in her heart, and called timidly: "My lord..."

Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes, let out a lukewarm "hmm", and quickened his pace.

Wen Su was at a loss, what's the matter?
Xiao Zheng has always been emotionally restrained, even if he is angry, his face is always calm.But even so, Wen Su was still worried all the way.

However, this depression is nothing, when I returned to the palace, I saw Liu Ke sitting respectfully in the front hall in a blue shirt, that would be really depressed.

Seeing the Prince Regent and Wen Su approaching one after the other, Liu Ke hurried forward to salute, "I am grateful for the gift of the house from the prince. Now that everything has been renovated, we can move in soon. I am here to thank the prince. Big favor."

Xiao Zheng nodded lightly, but creaked with one hand behind his back.

So we will be neighbors with him from now on! ! !

Wen Su stood behind the Prince Regent, glanced at Liu Ke quietly, and saw that he was also looking at her with blushing cheeks, and suddenly became flustered.

He was drunk last night, so he probably doesn't remember what he said, right?
Seeing the two of them flirting in front of him, the fire in Xiao Zheng's chest tended to burn more and more intensely, and he said in a deep voice: "I heard that Wu Yuan is going to leave Beijing today for his post, and Chao Qing must see him off. The king will not stay any longer." With the order to chase away the guests, he turned around and walked out regardless of Liu Ke's stunned eyes, his whole body full of aura and coercion, as if a mountain rain was about to come.

Liu Ke was embarrassed for a while, looked at Wen Su, with a hesitant expression, closed his lips several times before slowly uttering a sentence: "Last night... I was drunk, I don't know if I was rude to you..."

In fact, he came today mainly to see Wen Su.He remembered very clearly what he said last night, but he was a little uncertain at the time as if he was in a dream, and asking this question was nothing more than to confirm it.

Wen Su didn't want to bring up this blushing matter at all, and replied with ambiguous eyes: "It's not abrupt, it's just a bit out of date, it's okay..."

What she said is also true, if she is no longer a listed female official at this time, there is no restriction on each other, it is not impossible for the two to be together.

It's a pity that Liu Ke is stubborn at first, and thinking about the scene of her running away in panic last night, she feels even more hopeless, so that the words "inappropriate" are the words that hit his ears the most, which immediately broke his sincere heart into scum scum.

However, the advantage of a single tendon is that it is full of tenacity, so when Liu Ke walked out desolately, his eyes still gathered a trace of persistence tenaciously.Master Xiangguosi's words echoed in his ears, and he clenched his fists with pride.

Wen Su was confused by his actions, and after thinking about it for a while, she went out towards the residence.

The early summer sun shines on the body and you can already feel the heat. The spring flowers in the garden have withered, but the green trees are becoming more and more luxuriant.Next to the path paved with cobblestones is a flowerbed full of hibiscus, the white double-petaled hibiscus blooms charmingly, attracting people to linger.

Wen Su admired all the way into the back garden, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Fu Qingyu in the blue silk skirt standing sideways to her by the archway, staring ahead, frowning slightly.Wen Su approached quietly, followed her gaze, and through the round arch, one can vaguely see the Prince Regent sitting in the Huxin Pavilion in the distance. The little guy looked confused.

"Sapphire..."

The sudden call made Fu Qingyu turn around abruptly, seeing it was Wen Su, she turned around and left without saying a word, as if avoiding a scourge.

"Hey, don't go..." Wen Su hurriedly chased after her, but she ran faster and disappeared in a flash.

Wen Su was very helpless, since the incident at Xiangguo Temple last time, she always wanted to explain it to Fu Qingyu, but firstly, she had no time to accompany the envoy, and secondly, Fu Qingyu had been deliberately avoiding her, and had no chance.

The two had a good relationship at first, but now because of that misunderstanding, they have turned into this situation, which is really admirable.

In fact, Fu Qingyu was also very distressed, she didn't want to treat Wen Su like this, but when she saw her, the scene of that day would come to mind, which made her feel uncomfortable.

She also understands that there will be no result if she thinks about the regent, but there is no way to change her mind.Just as she warned herself over and over again not to get angry with Wen Su, she even thought about going to her several times, but the people who saw her still couldn't help avoiding her.

The regent who always looked up to the unattainable never looked at her more, even though she was full of knowledge and sincerity.However, she saw him cast his eyes on Wen Su more than once, such an indifferent and majestic figure, his eyes would always soften when he saw Wen Su.

She didn't want to think about it, but couldn't stop thinking about it.

The proud and arrogant she never thought that she would lose, or lose to Wen Su.Officialdom, love, what is left?
Fu Qingyu smiled wryly with her mouth curled up, only now did she realize that she was so incompetent that she had suffered a crushing defeat.

She stuck to the corner of the corridor, glanced in the direction where Wen Su was standing, and turned to leave.But he never noticed a gaze staring at her for a long time behind him.

Xiao Duan walked slowly from another corridor, with a smile on his lips, and murmured interestingly: "Interesting, but I overlooked this one..."

He was going to look for Xiao Zheng at the Huxin Pavilion just now, before he left the corridor, he saw Fu Qingyu looking at the door, and then Wen Su rushed over, Fu Qingyu fled towards him in a hurry, so he quickly retreated and hid .

I really didn't expect that if his uncle didn't intend to be Wen Su, he would rather be replaced by the willing Fu Qingyu...

The melancholy Wen Su drew countless circles on the spot with his feet, and suddenly his sleeves were pulled by someone. When he raised his head, King Pingyang laughed so hard that all flowers turned pale.

"Have you had lunch yet? Let's go together." Although he asked, Xiao Duan didn't wait for her to answer, he directly dragged her through the arch and headed for the Huxin Pavilion.

In fact, Wen Suben was also planning to go to dinner, but he never thought about going with the two princes.

"Prince Pingyang, no, no need."

Xiao Duan ignored her, and greeted Xiao Zheng with a smile from all the way: "Uncle, have you been waiting for a long time?"

There were indeed wine and vegetables in the pavilion, which were still steaming, and there were two accompanying maidservants standing beside them, while Zhao Quan was looking up at the sky, glanced at his lord from time to time, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Xiao Zheng tried his best to push Xiao Shizi's little hand away from his collar, looked up and saw Wen Su, his face sank again.

"Why, uncle wants to bring this little thing to eat together?" Entering the pavilion, Xiao Duan pushed Wen Su to sit next to Xiao Zheng, and then sat across from him like a normal person.

"This boy is very clingy, but he bumped into him while passing by, so he left his wet nurse to cling to me, alas..." Xiao Zheng continued to shake the child's hand.

"My lord, let the next official hug me..."

Xiao Zheng paused, turned his head to look, Wen Su slightly opened his hand towards him, with a cautious smile on his face.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he might have frightened her a little today, and the expression on his face softened, and he shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's send it to the nurse."

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to hand over the little prince to someone else, he curled his lips and frowned as if he was about to cry...

"Okay, okay, I'll leave it to you." Xiao Zheng was annoyed, and stuffed him into Wen Su's arms.

"This situation makes people feel that Susu is very gentle and virtuous, but I don't know who will be lucky enough to get a wife like this..." Xiao Duan joked with a half-smile, his eyes swept across his house vaguely Uncle's face.

Thinking of Liu Ke, the Prince Regent naturally had a frosty face, as black as the bottom of a pot.

Wen Su looked left and right, and could only break the deadlock with an apologetic smile: "Ah, the dishes are getting cold, you two princes, move your chopsticks quickly."

Xiao Zheng's expression slowed down a bit, just as he raised his chopsticks, the butler rushed over and reported: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty hastened to call the Prince of Pingyang into the palace to discuss matters."

"What?" Xiao Duan was astonished, "Call me into the palace?" Did he hear correctly?Why is that younger brother who doesn't match his horoscope so carefree?
Xiao Zheng heard something strange and asked, "Since it's urgent, why did you only call Pingyang King?"

"This... this old slave doesn't know."

Xiao Zheng thought for a while, dropped his chopsticks and got up and said, "Then let's go and have a look together." Then he turned to look at Wen Su, "Wen Qing also came over."

Wen Su sneered, "My lord, there's no need..." The envoys have left, so there's no need to put on a show, right?

"Dongde Zhuoyi said that you need to do some practical things, have you forgotten?"

"..." Wen Su dripped sweat, got up obediently, and heard Xiao Duan who was on the side say casually: "That is, do more practical things and see less irrelevant people."

The child in his arms groaned just at this moment, Wen Su twitched the corners of his mouth, it doesn't need to cooperate so well?
Xiao Zheng smiled, reached out and patted Xiao Shizi's face, "Good boy, uncle loves you..."

Although the emperor only summoned Xiao Duan alone, in fact there were at least a dozen ministers gathered in the imperial study at this time, and most of them were royalists.

Ding Zhengyi, Wang Dingyong, and Liu Ke were all on this list, and some of them were panting slightly, obviously they had just arrived.

Xiao Zheng walked in first, and his eyes darkened when he saw the scene in front of him.

It seems that there is something strange in it.

Because it was an urgent call, the three rushed over without any preparation.Fortunately, Wen Su's previous court clothes have not been replaced, so they can come in handy at this time.Xiao Zheng's uncle and nephew were both dressed in Zhu Zi's deep clothes, white clothes better than snow, more than elegant but a little less solemn.

In the past, Ding Zhengyi must have made a big fuss about this, but today he rarely said a word, and even faced the sudden appearance of the regent, his eyes flickered, as if he was a little guilty.

As soon as Wen Su and Xiao Duan greeted the emperor, they heard Xiao Zheng ask in a deep voice: "May I ask why Your Majesty hastily called King Pingyang into the palace?"

"This..." The emperor's eyes flickered, he looked more guilty than Ding Zhengyi, and his face blushed uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Xiao Zheng took a step closer, his momentum rising.

"Huang, Uncle Huang, it's because of the floods in the Jianghuai area..."

Xiao Zheng was slightly taken aback.

At this time, the south is in the rainy season, which is a period of high incidence of floods.But this year is even more serious than previous years. The rainy season came early and lasted for a long time. The rains of the past month have finally caused floods.

Xiao Zheng had already learned about this from the memorial, but fortunately it was not serious. The memorial stated that it was just "a lot of fields were destroyed, and only a few people and animals were injured".What's more, the location of the disaster was Jiangnan and other places occupied by King Wu, so he didn't take any measures at that time.But I don't know why today was suddenly put on the agenda by the emperor, and he deliberately kept it from him.

Xiao Zheng thought about it secretly, but finally he didn't understand: "Why did His Majesty mention this matter?"

The emperor's face returned to normal, followed by a trace of heaviness that did not match his age. "Uncle the emperor didn't know something. I rushed to report today. The heavy rain for five consecutive days caused several embankments to burst in the area along the river. There were heavy casualties and mourning everywhere."

"What?" Xiao Zheng raised his voice in disbelief, never expecting that things would suddenly deteriorate.

Wen Su, who heard that his hometown was hit by a severe disaster, suddenly looked worried, while Xiao Duan on the other side became more and more puzzled. What does this matter have to do with summoning him?

The memorial arrived at the capital when Xiao Zheng sent it off, and because it was eight hundred miles away, no one dared to delay it, so it was delivered to the palace for the emperor to see.This is also allowed by Xiao Zheng. If there is an important memorial and the Prince Regent's Palace has no time to take care of it, the order can be changed and sent to the palace first before processing.

After all, the little emperor had never dealt with such a disaster, so he panicked after reading the memorial, and it took him a while to remember to call the chief minister of the cabinet, Zuodu Yushi and others into the palace to discuss.

Ding Zhengyi felt that this matter could be big or small. Although King Wu could not help the disaster in order to preserve his strength, if the court did not come forward, it would chill the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wang Dingyong deeply agreed, and felt that the court should respond immediately.

But the question is how to deal with it?

The current situation is not as good as before. Even if the imperial court wants to rescue, it can only stop in Jiangbei. If it goes to Yangzhou area, it will be stopped by King Guangling's 20 rebels. If it wants to cross the river, it will have to provoke a fierce battle.

Here lies the problem.Fighting at this time, not to mention the inappropriate weather and timing, what do the suffering people think?
If you don't fight, you can only rescue them in the north along the river. What do the people in the south of the Yangtze River think?What will it be like when they surrender in the future?
After the emperor finished talking about the cause and effect, everyone fell into silence.

Xiao Zheng recollected, "So His Majesty summoned King Pingyang to entrust him with a heavy responsibility?"

The Regent is the Regent, right to the point!Even the little emperor couldn't help admiring him, nodded and said: "I really have that intention."

Xiao Zheng didn't answer immediately, but turned his head and gave Ding Zhengyi a hard look. He knew it must be this old nail's idea again.

Xiao Duan, who finally learned the reason for the summoning, curled his lips mockingly, and casually bowed to the emperor, "Then what does Your Majesty want this minister to do?"

"Ahem..." The emperor coughed dryly, and while glancing at Xiao Zheng's face, he said cautiously: "I intend to appoint you as the imperial envoy... to go to the Yangtze River to inspect the disaster situation and comfort the people..."

Wen Su on the side suddenly realized.

In the past, when disasters hit, the DPRK and China sent imperial envoys to the disaster area.Some direct disaster relief in person, while most are only responsible for going around the scene, saying some good things, and giving some comfort to disaster relief officials and local people, so as to achieve the effect of stabilizing people's hearts.

However, there has never been a precedent for appointing relatives of the emperor in this dynasty.

After all, it is a land of disasters, how could the noble royal family take that risk?But in the face of the situation at this time, sending a royal family over there is simply too suitable.

An identity shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to the people in the south of the Yangtze River, and it means that the imperial court has not given up on you, and then...

Come on yourselves!
Wen Su pouted.

"This king thinks it's impossible." Xiao Zheng vetoed it without a doubt.

"Why?" The little emperor was displeased. In the face of important national affairs, do you still have to protect this nephew?

"The king of Pingyang has been weak since he was a child, and he is not suitable for long journeys..."

Xiao Duan narrowed his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and gradually clenched his hands.

At this moment, it seems to have returned to the time when Emperor Chongguang asked Xiao Zheng to send him into the palace a long time ago. It was also the same conversation at that time, no.However, it failed.

He raised his eyes suddenly, and cast a gloomy glance at the emperor, even he didn't realize how cold the smile on his lips was.

Want to use me again?It's a pity that today is different...

Seeing the regent's direct refusal, Ding Zhengyi said angrily: "Since the regent doesn't want to, then let it go. Anyway, Jiangnan is already a nest of traitors, so let the people there be destroyed together with the rebels and thieves under this natural disaster!"

"Presumptuous!" The emperor jumped up against the case and said angrily: "How can the chief assistant be the head of a hundred officials to have such thoughts? The rebellious ministers and thieves are punishable by everyone, but the people are the people of our Daliang, how can they live on their own accord?" Self-destruction!"

The person in front of him was still young, but he couldn't hide his aura.Wen Su stared at him for a long time, then lowered her head after realizing that this behavior was very rude.

Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the majestic face of the emperor, and smiled lightly: "Your Majesty really impresses me now."

The emperor froze.

The cooperation was very good, Ding Zhengyi sang bad face, and the little emperor sang red face. While showing off his majesty, he insinuated that the regent had no regard for the safety of the common people.

Xiao Zheng suddenly felt that this nephew Xiao Yi still had some talent for being an emperor, but in fact, he really needed some talent to become a wise king.

Seeing that his purpose had been exposed, the emperor sat back in embarrassment and annoyance, his cheeks puffed up unconsciously, and he returned to the state of an eight-year-old child.

"Your Majesty, I have an official statement." Wang Dingyong, who hadn't spoken for a long time, saluted and said, "Pingyang King is weak, so naturally he can't withstand the fatigue of boats and cars, but there are indeed very few royal families who can take on great positions. If this is the case, it is better to follow the old rules. Appoint high officials and go."

The little emperor frowned. He knew that he would not find such an upright person, so he turned against me before the battle!
Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Ke also came out and said: "Your Majesty, although I speak lightly, I hope that your Majesty's worries will be taken as a trivial matter. I would like to invite you to the disaster area along the river."

again!The little emperor clutched his chest and almost burst into tears, Liu Aiqing, did you even defect?

Wen Su raised her eyebrows, as expected, it would be beneficial to give away a house, wouldn't it?
"It's not that I'm cruel. The King of Pingyang is weak and sick. I'm also very worried. It's just that this is not a royal family, so it's not serious enough..." The emperor deliberately ignored Xiao Zheng's expression, and said deeply: "The King of Shu has just surrendered, so I don't worry about it. , none of his sons has become a master, but the only one who can bear the heavy responsibility is King Pingyang..."

Wen Su twitched the corners of his mouth, Your Majesty, you have become more and more powerful as a kid, and it is absolutely unambiguous to criticize the King of Shu's family.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong." Xiao Zheng interrupted him suddenly, and sneered: "There are still two people who can bear the heavy responsibility, Your Majesty, and this king."

The emperor immediately shivered, "I, I feel that Wang Aiqing's words just now are not unreasonable, and Liu Aiqing's words can also be considered..."

He didn't want to go there. I heard from Fugui that when the disaster happened, all the ghosts and ghosts would come out. He didn't want to go, don't go, don't go...

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Five-Year Honor, naturally cannot take risks, so I would like to invite you to go."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a silence around. Everyone looked at Xiao Zheng's tall and straight figure in disbelief, and wondered if there was something wrong with their ears.

The emperor was also shocked, "Uncle, you..."

"Uncle..." Xiao Duan tugged Xiao Zheng's sleeve lightly, reminding softly: "Uncle, don't act on your will." After speaking, he still did not forget to wink at Chao Wensu.

"..." Wen Su was silent, why are you looking at me?It's not my business?

"This matter is settled here, and there is no need to discuss it again. All government affairs have been sent to Jiangbei for approval after the king arrived in Jiangbei. During this period of time, Beijing-China affairs will be handled by Jing Zhaoyin and the first auxiliary cabinet."

His Majesty the Emperor gasped, now he couldn't even see the memorials that he had reviewed. Sure enough, the Emperor's Uncle couldn't tolerate being deceived.

In the first place, you shouldn’t have listened to Ding Zhengyi’s words, saying that he had quietly summoned the King of Pingyang to entrust him with an important task, and the dust had already settled when the regent found out, and it couldn’t be changed…

Throwing the table, there is a price to pay for these!
His Majesty lowered his head with a dejected look on his face, and was about to send everyone back to heal their wounds, when he heard Xiao Zheng say again: "I have something else to tell you, Your Majesty."

"Uncle, please tell me." The emperor nodded sullenly, thinking that if you ask me, can I not agree?

"This trip is a heavy responsibility. The king is not familiar with the area along the river, so I want to bring someone who is familiar with the local area as a guide."

People familiar with the local...

Wen Su squirmed backwards, thinking silently in her heart: It's not me, it's not me, it must not be me...

"This king thinks Mr. Wen is very suitable."

"..." Someone burst into tears instantly.

"But Wen Aiqing is a woman after all..." The little emperor was still very caring.

"I think Master Wen himself must be very willing." Xiao Zheng turned his head slightly, staring at Wen Su with a half-smile, "Wen Qing, isn't it?"

Liu Ke was aggrieved at the corner of the skein, while Xiao Duan's worry faded a little, and he looked forward to the result.As for Ding Zhengyi and Wang Dingyong, they are naturally dissatisfied. They are just listed female officials, so they really want to be reused?But the regent has already stepped back, who dares to object?

"Wen Qing?" Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and the cold light flickered.

Wen Su finally took a difficult step, and said sadly: "Your official...willing to go with the prince."

Knowing that the regent is about to go to the front line of disaster relief, Lu Fang, who is a loyal prince's party, is very depressed.

He was sitting across from Xiao Duan, unconsciously playing with the wine cup in his hand, feeling sleepy, "Prince Pingyang, why are you so relieved? It's close to the lair of rebels."

"It's okay," Xiao Duan waved his hand, "Uncle is surrounded by hidden guards and Zhao Quan to protect him, and he is also very skilled in martial arts, so nothing will happen."

"But the prince still has a woman with him." Lu Fang sighed, still worried.

Xiao Duan smiled, "Uncle is not worried, what are you worried about?"

Lu Fang became more and more depressed, "Prince Pingyang seems to be very happy?"

"I'm very happy, because this king finds that things are getting smoother."

Lu Fang thought about his words carefully, and said puzzledly: "You are talking about using Wen Su to get through the ring of the prince? To be honest, my subordinates haven't figured out what you mean so far."

"If it is so easy to be seen through, then there is no possibility of success." Xiao Duan got up, straightened his clothes a little, and walked towards the door, "I tell you adults, please be quiet during this time. Uncle is going out. Restrain yourself, don't make trouble, and don't come to this restaurant for the time being."

Lu Fang hurriedly got up, "Could it be that the prince has noticed something?"

Xiao Duan turned his head, hooked his lips and smiled lightly: "Do you think we can hide this matter from him?"

Lu Fang's face turned pale.

"He didn't stop him, and he didn't take any action. He has his own reasons, but...we have no way of knowing." Speaking of this, Xiao Duan couldn't help but bewildered, sighed, opened the door and walked out .

When returning to the palace, night just fell, Xiao Duan planned to go to his uncle to say goodbye, but when he passed the garden, he saw something clutched in Wen Su's hand, and walked past in a hurry.He paused for a while, and simply followed.

Wen Su's footsteps were fast, but suddenly slowed down after a while, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard, wandering endlessly.

Xiao Duan looked at the courtyard, if he remembered correctly, it should be Fu Qingyu's residence.

He secretly laughed in his heart, presumably she wanted to explain clearly the misunderstanding that day before leaving.

Hesitating and hesitating in front of the courtyard, but still didn't have the courage to knock on the door, Wen Su drooped her shoulders and sighed continuously.

Fu Qingyu left when he saw her that day, what would happen if he saw her today?Will you close the door and thank the guests without saying a word?
To be honest, it's really possible.

Someone behind her suddenly tugged at the corner of her clothes, Wen Su turned her head, and King Pingyang looked at her with a smile, "Susu, would you like me to deliver it for you?"

"what to give?"

Xiao Duan lifted his chin towards the object in her hand.

It was a letter written by Wen Su.

She had thought about it, if Fu Qingyu really didn't want to talk to her, then at least she should leave a letter, which could be regarded as an explanation.

King Pingyang is an enthusiastic and good prince. Seeing Wen Su's hesitation, he immediately decided to help, snatched the letter and said with a smile: "If you have any difficulties, why don't I let this king pass it on for you."

"Don't!" In fact, this proposal is quite good, but Wen Su felt that it was not a good thing when he saw his smile, "It's a trivial matter, how can I bother the prince."

Xiao Duan turned sideways to dodge her snatching hand, "I don't think it's bothering you, at least I have a friendship, what are you doing so far away?"

The more he behaved like this, the more suspicious he became. Why bother with her and Fu Qingyu's affairs?Wen Su tried her best not to offend her superiors and continued to grab letters.

The two fought each other, and before they knew it, they were already some distance away from the gate of the courtyard. Xiao Duan was not in good health, and soon began to breathe heavily. Wen Su took the opportunity to grab the envelope back. He immediately raised his arms, and his wide sleeves fell off instantly. To the shoulders, revealing the white and tender arms.

Wen Su stopped moving and was stunned.

The skin of that arm is as transparent as white porcelain, and when it is illuminated by the candlelight of the surrounding lanterns, it seems to be covered with a veil, gluing people's sight.

However, on such an arm that makes a woman feel ashamed, there is a scar winding from the shoulder to the elbow, which is an inch wide. It's not easy.

Seeing Wen Su's expression, Xiao Duan silently lowered his hands, and his wide sleeves immediately covered his arms, as if the scene just now had never happened before.

Neither of them spoke, they just stood quietly, Wen Su looked at Xiao Duan, Xiao Duan looked elsewhere.

After a long time, he finally couldn't hold back, "You..."

Just turned around and said a word, his hand was pulled, Wen Su had already taken the letter, pinched it on his fingertips and raised it triumphantly, "Finally I got it back, Lord Pingyang kindly accepts it, thank you so much. "After finishing speaking, the man turned around and left without saying anything else.

Xiao Duan was dazed for a moment, raised his hand to caress that arm, turned around gently, his slender back was full of arrogance.

That night, a long-lost dream visited the sleeping King Pingyang.

He stood in front of the window, watching the candlelight project the man's profile on the window paper, outlining a slightly hunched back.

He couldn't help but sneer when the man uttered a gradually aging voice.

"I have been dreaming about my elder brother for the past few days, and I feel uneasy. I think that my offspring will not be rich and I will be plagued by serious diseases. It must be God's punishment..."

"Prince Jin is brave and good at fighting. I am very worried. I have to hide my illness even for the sake of the emperor. How could the throne I won so hard fall into his hands..."

"I am getting older, but he is still young and full of vigor. If I am not here, who can hold him back?"

"Every time I see that child, I feel uncomfortable. Those eyes are too much like my elder brother. Looking at you looks like a smile, but it always makes people feel cold. If he is not the only bargaining chip that can restrain King Jin, I don't want to keep him. By my side..."

"Who!"

The sudden angry reprimand interrupted the conversation, Xiao Duan saw a young boy huddled under the window, his long white clothes dragging the floor, like a lonely soul wandering outside, but the sleeve of his right arm was continuously oozing blood, spread out in the snow-white Up, shocking.

A man stood in front of him holding a long sword, the tip of which was still dripping with blood. The young man looked sideways at the wound, and stepped back, hugging his head and screaming.

"Duan'er, what did you hear?" The person in the window came out and asked softly in front of him.

The young man continued to tremble and cry: "My nephew just wanted to visit my younger brother. I never thought that I would be assassinated when I passed by here. Your Majesty, save me!"

"Hehe, this is not an assassin, this is my hidden guard." Emperor Chongguang waved his hand to dismiss the hidden guard, squatted down and looked at the young man's trembling shoulders, "You treat Yi'er like a brother, I am very pleased, go Well, from now on, the two brothers should get along well..."

The young man raised his head, nodding his head.

"Very good..." The emperor stretched out his hand, wanting to touch his head...

"take away!"

Xiao Duan, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, suddenly yelled angrily, sat up from the bed, panting heavily, his clothes and quilt were already wet with sweat.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses, he turned his head and looked at the pale lonely moon outside the window, and sneered: "Brother? How did the royal family come to be a brother?"

Waking up early in the morning, Wen Su held a list and stood in the Prince Regent's study reading one by one, until Xiao Zheng interrupted impatiently: "You don't need to prepare so many things, you just need to bring some changes of clothes. "

Wen Su expressed doubts about this: "My lord, after all, the journey is far away, so there is really no need for it?"

"unnecessary."

"..." Wen Su walked out the door with her head drooping.

However, after a while, she turned back and asked through the door: "My lord, do you think I can take this with me?"

Xiao Zheng looked up suspiciously, the door was pushed open by Zhao Quan, Wen Su hugged the dancing Prince of Shu with a smile on his face.

"..."

"My lord?"

Xiao Zheng glanced at her faintly, "Wenqing, don't try so hard, you decide."

"..."

After many efforts ended in failure, Wen Su finally embarked on the journey to Jiangbei reluctantly.

The Prince Regent issued an order to keep everything simple on this trip, and there were only dozens of people visible on the road: the Prince Regent, Zhao Quan, her, and a group of guards.

As for the invisible number of people on the road...

According to Zhao Quan, it was a secret that could not be revealed.

The weather on the day of departure was outrageously good, even if one wanted to be gloomy.

Xiao Duan dragged his uncle from left to right and ordered him to the right, so much affection between uncle and nephew was reluctant to part.Wen Su was shabby, except for the two maids who were busy around, the rest just showed their faces and greeted symbolically.

Cranky, shouldn't you be giving some parting gifts at this time? !
Seeing that the journey was about to start, Wen Su leaned against the door of the carriage, stared at the gate of the palace and sighed.

"Probably won't come." Pingyang Wang Shi Shiran, who finally said goodbye to his uncle, approached and said with a smile: "How? Are you willing to ask this king to help now?"

Wen Su subconsciously touched the letter in her arms, pursed her lips and remained silent.

Xiao Duan spread his hands indifferently, "Forget it, let's continue to misunderstand like this." Then he turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey..." Wen Su sighed, and took out the letter from his arms, "It's time for Lord Pingyang."

"It's okay, you and I have a friendship, there is no need to be polite."

Wen Su laughed dryly, as a response to this friend.

"Susu..." As soon as he was about to leave, Xiao Duan suddenly stopped and smiled at her, unlike the usual casual or mocking jokes, this smile emerged from the depths of his eyes and spread across his face, bright and beautiful Warm, "Be careful with everything."

Wen Su was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "Prince Pingyang also needs to take care."

This trip can range from a few months to at most a year and a half. When we parted at this time, it really felt like we were best friends.

When the regent boarded the carriage, Fu Qingyu still did not appear. Wen Su glanced at the gate for the last time, and lowered the curtain in disappointment.

Xiao Zheng had somewhat heard the conversation she had with Xiao Duan just now, and comforted him: "There are always bumps in friendship, sometimes it's better to leave it on the shelf, but it will be resolved after a long time."

Wen Su turned his head and drew circles, it was obviously provoked by you old man, and it is so easy to say, I might as well count on King Pingyang to be reliable.

Standing by the door and watching the group of people drift away, King Pingyang slowly pulled the letter into balls...

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the city, Wen Su suddenly heard someone calling him, opened the window curtain and looked, and was stunned.

Liu Ke stood by the roadside and looked at her, his water-blue gown fluttering gently in the wind, his delicate face had complicated expressions, he hesitated to speak a few times, but in the end he didn't say anything, only at the moment when she was about to pass by. In an instant, he raised his hand and saluted her as a farewell.

Wen Su couldn't bear it, and just about to speak, there was a low cough from behind, so she had to sit back obediently...
