Chapter 296 Seeing Your Mind Clearly, Going on an Expedition, Was Called to Dragon Mansion
"There are many paths in life, and you don't have to follow one path to the end." Wu Yuan's voice was a little tight, and he stared at Xiao He with burning eyes, "It's like now, there is another path in front of you."

Xiao He said: "Xiao He is very stupid, she just wants to follow Miss, and Xiao He will follow whatever path Miss takes."

Wu Yuan's eyes became cold for a moment, and he tried his best not to lose his demeanor.

"You said just now that you have grown up. Now that you have grown up, you should have your own ideas. Don't you often say that your lady let you have your own ideas? You should think for yourself. Choose another way, It means that you will forever get rid of the status of a maid, and you, your family, and your friends will all become famous and rich because of your choice, and they will be proud of you."

The gentle voice is persuasive, "And don't you like the concubine sister very much? She also likes you very much. From now on, you can often chat together and do what you like."

Xiao He lowered her head and thought for a while, then she looked at Wu Yuan with her clean and bright eyes, "Prince, do you like Xiao He?" She asked directly.

Wu Yuan froze.

He didn't expect Xiao He to ask such a direct question, but soon, he was relieved again.

This is Xiao He. At the beginning, he could remember her precisely because of her direct, undisguised, and glowing admiration eyes.

Recalling the past, Wuyuan unconsciously showed a more gentle smile, "What if I say yes?"

"Then are you willing to marry Xiaohe as the imperial concubine?"

Wu Yuan's smile froze, "Xiao He, have you forgotten your concubine sister? Even without her, your identity and mine..."

"Then are you willing to let go of all worldly things for Xiaohe and indulge in the mountains and rivers?"

The smile on his face faded away bit by bit, and Wu Yuanfang's mild eyes once again became cold again.

"Xiao He," his voice was cold, "Looking at your affection for me in the past, I can love you, pamper you, and give you anything you want! But you shouldn't rely on my pampering and covet you not to love me." Something to covet."

"But Xiao He only wants those. Xiao He only wants someone who can marry Xiao He and be with her. Xiao He doesn't want to be rich and famous." Xiao He said: "Since the eldest prince can't afford Xiao He's , then it is meaningless to continue talking. Xiao He bid farewell, and hope that the eldest prince and the eldest concubine are all well!"

Wuyuan suddenly smiled, "It seems that your lady protects you very well! In this world, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority. This prince said yes, when will it be your turn to say no? Whether you want it or not. Well, this is your life!"

The softer he smiled, the colder his eyes became.

Xiao He trembled all over, leaned back against the door involuntarily, looked at Wu Yuan with a strange and fearful look, "You...what do you want to do?"

The delicate girl, like a yellow flower born in spring, shivered in the strong wind.

Such expressions and actions gave Wuyuan the urge to destroy.

People who used to approach him proactively, now avoid him like snakes and scorpions.

Why should she get closer if she wants to, and retreat if she wants to?

Have you asked his opinion?With his permission?
Wu Yuan stood up and walked towards Xiao He with his tall body.

The man who was once gentle enough to make her admire is now as terrifying as a ferocious beast in the jungle.

Xiao He stared at him closely, the horror in her eyes almost overflowed.

"Xiao He, are you inside?" Bai Zhi raised her voice from outside.

"I'm here! Sister Bai Zhi, I'm here!" Xiao He shouted desperately.

Mixed with this was the stopping sound of Wuyuan's guards outside, "Mr. Ming Zhixiang, the private room on the second floor has been reserved, please leave quickly."

Bai Zhi said softly: "It's getting late, I'm here to find my little sister, and by the way, I would like to thank the eldest prince for his hospitality."

When she came, she saw the situation on the second floor, and guessed it was occupied by Wu Yuan.

So people arrived before they heard, and these guards didn't even have a chance to stop her.

The guards looked at each other, if Xiao He didn't respond, they could just follow the previous order and drive Bai Zhi away.

But Xiao He complied, and Bai Zhi spoke skillfully.

It's not that Xiao He was taken captive, but when Xiao He was invited to be a guest, they all knew it, but it was getting late and they had to take her back.

When the guards were at a loss, Wuyuan's gentle voice sounded in the private room, "Mingzhi Township Lord is here, let her in."

Bai Zhi walked to the private room, and the two guarding there hurriedly stepped aside.

She reached out and pushed, and the door opened.

Wu Yuan was sitting at the table holding a cup of tea, when he saw her come in, he raised the teacup as a signal to her, with his usual expression.

As for Xiao He, standing by the door, her face was as pale as paper, and she was trembling all over. The moment she saw her, her fear and grievance turned into tears, and her eyes immediately turned red.

As if seeing a relative who could protect her, she hid behind Bai Zhi without any explanation.

Bai Zhi's heart tightened, her palms clenched tightly, and she said nonchalantly, "Ming Zhi met the eldest prince! Xiao He was stubborn and disturbed the eldest prince, so Ming Zhi apologized to the eldest prince on her behalf. I took Xiao He back. If I have time in the future, Mingzhi will take her to make amends to the First Prince."

Wu Yuan smiled, and regained his humble appearance, but the color of his eyes was different after all.

"Xiao He is very good, my prince likes it very much." He said meaningfully.

"Thank you, the eldest prince, for your love. This is Xiaohe's honor." Bai Zhi said, "Well, let me take my leave first."

"Mingzhi Township Lord, this prince also appreciates you very much, if you wish, this prince welcomes you to join at any time!" Wuyuan said: "There will be a time later."

Bai Zhi thought she had to waste some more words, but she didn't expect Wu Yuan to let her go so easily.

She hurriedly dragged Xiaohe to salute, then went downstairs and left Qinfeng Building.

The hustle and bustle of the scene and the colorful lights gave the two of them the illusion of being reborn.

Especially Xiao He, the tears she had suppressed until now flowed down in a sudden.

She hugged Bai Zhi tightly and cried, "Sister Bai Zhi, woo... thank you, I was just... so scared..."

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Bai Zhi patted her on the back to reassure her, "It's okay now, with me, young lady, Qingtong, and little monkey here, I won't let you be wronged."

Xiao He cried for a long time before stopping.

Bai Zhi asked: "Xiao He, how did you meet the First Prince?"

"The little monkey and I were looking at the lanterns. I saw one, and the little monkey bought it for me. Suddenly, a person next to me ran into me. When I recovered, I found that the money bag was gone. So the little monkey asked me to wait there. After a while, he chased the man to get the money bag back. When the man rushed over, he not only bumped into me, but also knocked down an aunt. I went to help the aunt, but she gave me acupuncture points. moved, and was brought here."

Xiao He thought of Wu Yuan's gaze just now, and she felt terrified, "Sister Bai Zhi, let's go."

"Okay, let's meet Miss and the others. Everyone must be very worried about you now."

As they spoke, they raised their feet and walked forward. When they passed a lantern shop, they were suddenly stopped, "That lady in purple! Wait a moment."

Bai Zhi and Xiao He stopped and looked around.

It turned out that it was the time when Bai Zhi borrowed a lantern to inquire about the back door of Qinfeng Tower.

Bai Zhi thought that the boss wanted to return the lantern she paid for but didn't ask for, and was about to speak, but the boss smiled and said: "Miss, your fiancé took the lantern, and said he wanted to go to you to explain it to you. Oh, what a coincidence that you have front and rear feet."

"Fiance?" Bai Zhi's eyes widened.

"Yes, fiancé, didn't you say that your fiancé had a private meeting with other women in Qinfeng Building? A handsome man in red came here just now, oh my god, that face is so beautiful, Even women are rarely born like that, no wonder you are nervous, miss."

The boss said cheerfully: "But in my opinion, you really misunderstood your fiancé. He said that it was not him who met other women, but his good friend. I heard that you misunderstood, and I am anxiously looking for you everywhere." Woolen cloth."

The man in red...

Wearing a red dress, the only one who is more beautiful than a woman is Gongsun Mobai.

Bai Zhi was silent for a while, then raised her head and smiled, "Thank you boss for telling me."

"Miss, where is your fiancé going?" The boss enthusiastically pointed in a direction that was exactly opposite to that of Bai Zhi Xiaohe.

"thank you boss."

Bai Zhi pulled Xiao He and left quickly.

Or the direction they were planning to go.

The boss's anxious voice came from behind, "Miss, the direction is reversed..."

The more he shouted, the faster Bai Zhi walked.

Gradually farther and farther away from the lantern shop.

The boss shook his head muttering to himself, "It's a pity that I didn't expect him to be a fool."

After the two walked for a while, Xiao He asked curiously, "Sister Bai Zhi, what fiance? Who is the boss talking about?"

"It is estimated that I have admitted the wrong person." Bai Zhi said.

Xiao He: ...I misidentified the wrong person, and you can still chat with him for a long time?
When she was thinking about whether to expose Bai Zhi, suddenly a strong force rushed over and hugged her tightly.

As if to embed her in the body.

Next to the ear was the little monkey's crying voice, "Xiao He, I finally found you, it's great that you're all right!"

Xiao He was still a little scared at first, but after being hugged by the little monkey, she suddenly felt no longer afraid, and in turn comforted the little monkey, "I'm fine, little monkey, don't worry."

"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you." The little monkey said: "No matter what is missing in the future, I will never leave you behind. Nothing is more important than you."

Although he has a restless temper, he is shy and shy when it comes to love. Even though he has shown his deep love for Xiao He in his actions, he has never said any beautiful words.

These few words just now are probably the most beautiful words he has ever said in his life.

Xiao He chuckled, ignoring Bai Zhi at the side, and smacked the little monkey's face.

Then he watched Hongyi quickly climb up the little monkey's face.

The little monkey stammered, "Xiao...Xiao He..."

"Little monkey, I found that I seem to really like you." Xiao He tilted her head, and the light was reflected in her clear eyes, shining brightly.

Before she said that she would try to like him, she thought she hadn't really liked Little Monkey yet.

However, in the private room on the second floor of Qinfeng Building, when Wuyuan couldn't accept her rejection, and showed an expression of wanting to hurt her.

Suddenly, she felt extremely guilty for the little monkey.

It's as if she belongs to him, only he can touch her, if someone else touches her, she will feel sorry for him.

At that time, Xiao He understood that maybe in this long-term unknowing company, the little monkey was already in her heart, but she didn't know it all the time.

To her, Wuyuan is a beautiful flower, a gorgeous dream, although beautiful, it is very easy to fade away.

To her, the little monkey is the root that is deeply rooted in her heart. Although it is not eye-catching or gorgeous, it has penetrated deep into the bone marrow before she understands it.

At this time, the night was dark, and the flow of people was much less than before.

However, there were still many people who looked curiously at the little children hugging each other.

"Really...Really?" The little monkey was both happy and uncomfortable.

"Of course it's true. When did I ever lie to you?" Xiao He pouted, pretending to be unhappy, "Also, I said I liked you, but you never said I liked me. Did you Don't like me, if you don't like me, I'll find someone else."

"No, no, no, you can't find someone else, I..." The little monkey blushed anxiously, but couldn't say the rest.

Xiao He said: "Then you say you like me."

Rao Baizhi has a good temper and a good temper, so she can't bear to stand beside her.

"Xiao He, why don't you guys express your sincere feelings in private? This is a public meeting..."

"I like you!" The little monkey suddenly roared shockingly: "Xiao He, I like you! Don't go looking for someone else!"

This roar made everyone who came and went stop and watch.

Now it was Xiao He's turn to blush, and she quickly covered the little monkey's mouth, "I know, I know! Idiot, I said I like you, why would I go to someone else? You're so stupid!"

She took a look at the little monkey, and in the gleam of light, she could not stop talking about her little daughter's tenderness.

The little monkey looked dumbfounded and giggled happily.

Bai Zhi looked at this pair of little lovers who looked like no one else, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but she felt a little lost in her heart.

Such joy and sweetness, she will never have a chance in her life.

A dazzling and sad red suddenly appeared in my heart.

The spot on the wrist where the prescription had just been touched became hot for no reason.

how can that be possible?Bai Zhi shook her head mockingly.

"Let's go, don't let Miss and the others be in a hurry."

After the three of them left, a figure who had been standing on the second floor of Chunfeng Building for an unknown amount of time walked out of the darkness.

The moonlight and light intertwined on him, colorful, but without the slightest warmth, instead it was somewhat ferocious.

as his eyes.

When the crowd was about to disperse, everyone in Yuexin Academy finally gathered together.

Seeing that no one had an accident, they were all relieved, and got into the carriage one by one and went home.

-

Today is Xiao Yichen's expedition day.

He didn't let Lu Xinyan see him off.

On the one hand, he was afraid that she would be squeezed and bumped, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would not want to leave.

Before leaving Yuexin Courtyard, he hugged her and kissed her for a long time.

Not only kiss her lips, but also her belly.

"He and the baby are waiting for me to come back, I will come back safely!"

The man was wearing armor, and the light on the armor was so cold that Lu Xinyan's heart shivered.

However, his eyes were so gentle, driving away the chill in her heart.

"Yeah." Lu Xinyan endured the sourness, "I will be careful in everything, and I must protect myself and the baby, and wait for you to come back. It's getting late, let's go."

No matter how long it takes to say goodbye, we will eventually leave.

Xiao Yichen stood up, turned around and left Yuexin courtyard resolutely.

He took Qiu Wuya away, leaving behind Qi Fei and the little monkey.

Little Monkey had always insisted on going because he wanted to win military service and come back to marry Xiao He.

But after last night, he decided to give up.

If something happened to Xiao He, what would be the use of his military exploits?

After a while, Bai Zhi knocked on Lu Xinyan's room, "Miss, I have something to tell you."

"Come in." Lu Xinyan's hoarse voice came from inside.

Bai Zhi pushed the door open and went in, only to see Lu Xinyan's eyes were slightly red and swollen on the couch, obviously she had cried just now.

The mood of pregnant women fluctuates easily, the capital is dangerous, and the front line is even more dangerous. Bai Zhi can understand that she is losing control of her emotions under worry.

She pretended not to see it, "Miss, before I found Xiao He last night, I met Mr. Gongsun."

"Did he do anything that surprised you? Or did you see him with someone?"

Bai Zhi came to her and told her that she met Gongsun Mobai, and it was definitely not just to tell her that she had encountered this incident. Lu Xinyan calmed down and asked the next question.

"He said, we are not the eldest prince's opponents, if I want to survive, I should leave this place as soon as possible."

"As soon as possible?" Lu Xinyan frowned, "Could it be that the eldest prince will make a big move recently?"

But the people from Zhuquetang and Linlang Pavilion found nothing.

Leng Xun's whereabouts are still unknown, his life and death are unknown, Xiao Yichen arranged for someone to investigate the person most likely to take Leng Xun away.

One is the emperor, and the other is the eldest prince Wuyuan.

No sign of Leng Xun was found in the palace, including the depths of the hidden prisons.

As for Wuyuan, there was no trace of him taking Leng Xun away.

The only thing that Wuyuan was found to be different from before was that he seemed to have been in and out of Yicuilou a few times recently.

Yicuilou is one of the best brothels in the capital, if other men go in and out, it is quite normal.

However, Wuyuan's external impression has always been that he keeps a low profile and keeps himself clean, and he is very affectionate with the empress.

Such a person suddenly changed his normal behavior and entered and exited the Yicui Building, there must be something different.

On the contrary, Gongsun Mobai, who used to go all the time, rarely appeared there recently.

Thinking that Gongsun Mobai and Wuyuan were in the same group, Xiao Yichen arranged for people to continue to investigate Yicuilou.

However, no useful clues have been found so far.

As for Leng Xun's disappearance, Lu Xinyan and Xiao Yichen suspected that maybe they had thought wrong before.

It was not Emperor Longde and Wuyuan who were the most likely, but another unknown faction took Leng Xun away and arranged for a new investigation.

"Judging from Gongsun Gongzi's tone, I think it is very possible." Bai Zhi said, "Miss, what should we do next?"

Lu Xinyan glanced at Bai Zhi.

Although she didn't understand why Bai Zhi took Gongsun Mobai's words to heart and regarded it as true, she believed that Bai Zhi was not a random person.

"The eldest prince is indeed unfathomable! I have deciphered his attacks on me several times before, and I once thought he was nothing more than that! Now it seems that it is just a corner of him that he showed!"

She and Xiao Yichen already guessed that there might be some mysterious organization in Wuyuan, secretly manipulating the ministers in the court, but Zhuquetang and Linlang Pavilion searched for this month, but found nothing.

One can imagine how deep Wuyuan hid.

Lu Xinyan said: "I will notify Zhuquetang and Linlang Pavilion to be more vigilant, and don't let go of any small disturbances."

During this period of time, Wuyuan has been dormant, so it is difficult for them to find out, but if he really makes any big moves, it is absolutely impossible to be silent.

It seems that danger has surrounded them, but in fact, if they are prepared in advance, it may not be the best opportunity to fight back.

"Then I'll prepare more self-defense medicine." Before Bai Zhi left, she dutifully reminded: "Miss, you are pregnant, so you shouldn't be depressed all the time."

"I understand, but it's not good for your health to keep suppressing and not venting. I'm fine now." Lu Xinyan said: "Accompany me to the palace tomorrow, I'm in good health now, so I should also go to the palace to thank you. "

She is pregnant, because the month is too young, it is not appropriate to announce it to the outside world, but Xiao Qing has to tell it. Since she told Xiao Qing, the Queen Mother has to say it.

After the Queen Mother and Xiao Qing learned that she was pregnant, they sent some high-quality medicinal materials that are good for preventing miscarriage.

Lu Xinyan was pushed down by Jiang and almost had a miscarriage. After a few days of raising her, she is fine now, so she should go to thank her.

"Understood, Miss." Bai Zhi said: "You have a good rest, I'm going out first."

"Call Shuyun for me." Xing Luo Xiazhi gave an overview of what happened last night, and Lu Xinyan wanted to ask her personally.

Bai Zhi looked at her disapprovingly.

Lu Xinyan smiled and said: "I know my own body! And Xiao Shizi just left, and I feel sad. If I stay alone, it's easier to think wildly. It's better to do other things to divert my attention."

Bai Zhi knew that what she said was reasonable, "Then I'll call Shu Yun, miss, please be careful, if you feel uncomfortable, remember to call me."

"understood."

After Bai Zhi left, there was a knock on the door, and Lu Xinyan thought it was Shu Yun who came, and was about to speak.

It was Bai Zhi's voice that sounded outside the door, "Miss, Su Yun was called away by Master Long early in the morning."

Lu Xinyan: ...According to Xing Luo Xiazhi's description, didn't you want to pinch Shuyun to death with your own hands last night?Why in a blink of an eye... Could it be that the two of them misunderstood it?

-

At this time, Shu Yun was sitting on the carriage heading to Longfu.

Long Mansion originally sent a carriage to pick her up, but she didn't sit in it and took Lu Xinyan's carriage.

Lu Xinyan has several carriages, and no matter who is in the Yuexin courtyard, they can take them no matter when they go out.

The carriage swayed, Shu Yun hugged Shuangfeng, his thoughts were hard to calm down.

She thought that after last night, Long Tianxing would not look for her again.

And she also planned to try her best not to stay out of Zhen Guogong's mansion in the future, so as to reduce the chance of encountering Long Tianxing by chance.

But she didn't expect that Long Tianxing, who she had waited for a few days before and didn't come to her, came here just when she thought she wouldn't.

To be precise, he was looking for her, to see Shuangfeng.

She is a cat slave now, whenever Long Tianxing wants to see Shuangfeng, she has to take Shuangfeng to see him.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Dragon Mansion, and the officer of the Long Mansion was taken aback. Seeing Shu Yun lift the curtain, he trotted over, "Aunt Yun, you're here!"

Then he waved his hands at Shuangfeng again, "Hello Shuangfeng."

Shuangfeng responded with a meow.

Shu Yun said: "I'm sorry, but I'm in charge. Did you keep Master Long waiting for a long time, and Master Long lost his temper?"

Steward: ... "Master hasn't come back yet."

Shu Yun: ...Then why do you look relieved?Thought she was implicated!

"Then I'll go in and wait for Master Long, please lead the way."

Shu Yun's expression fell into the eyes of the steward, and the steward thought to himself, can he not be in a hurry?If Lord Long doesn't see her when he comes back from court, then he will be in bad luck again.

Thinking of the bags of dates that he ate before, the steward still feels like vomiting.

He will probably be allergic to dates in his life.

"Aunt Yun, this way please."

Shu Yun followed behind the steward and walked into the Dragon Mansion.

Lu Shuyun from Longfu is already very familiar, but she is here today as an outsider after all.

The steward took Shuyun outside the Dragon Courtyard, "A'an, Aunt Yun is here."

A'an, who had previously entertained Shu Yun, showed up immediately, "I'm in charge, Aunt Yun, this way please."

"Aunt Yun, go slowly," the steward said, "If you need anything, feel free to send someone to find the younger one."

Shu Yun said: "Thank you, butler, let's go slowly."

Ah'an brought Shuyun to Long Tianxing's house.

"Aunt Yun, please wait here first." A'an said, "I'm going to prepare tea and snacks for you."

"Thank you Ann."

A'an soon brought several plates of delicate and small snacks, seasonal fruits, five-color drinks and crispy cheese.

Shu Yun went out with a full meal in the morning. She was not hungry at first, but after seeing these, she couldn't help but twitch her index finger.

Since it was prepared for her, she was not polite and started to eat.

Naturally, Shuangfeng couldn't help getting a share of the action.

After eating until her stomach was bloated, Shu Yun took Shuangfeng for a walk under the long corridor of Dragon Court to digest food.

As the days grew longer and the breeze couldn't withstand the heat, Shu Yun took Shuangfeng back to the ice-filled room.

Gradually drowsy.

She wanted to wait for Long Tianxing to come back, but she couldn't bear it.

He embraced Shuangfeng, lay down on the couch where she was recovering from her injuries, and fell asleep.

In a daze, I heard someone snorting coldly, "Hmph, is this how you take care of Shuangfeng?"

Shu Yun was shocked and woke up.

　Thank you Luo Ning'er, Chaochao Kanshu, WeiXin973b555543 for the monthly pass!
　　Thank you for the recommendation tickets from the little cuties in the book city!
