Unfortunately, just as his hands touched the reins, a rope suddenly fell from the sky and quickly tied his hands.
The leaves rustled above the head, and Lan Zhi jumped down, cupped his hands and fisted at him, "Your Highness, this subordinate is offended."
"I...I remember you! You are the third brother's secret guard, Zhi Lan! Oh, hurry up and let me go. The following crimes are punishable by death! Hurry, hurry! You're so nimble!
"
Shang Mujing had always been reluctant to call himself the king, but the more he struggled, the tighter the rope became, so he had no choice but to use his identity as Prince Jing to intimidate him.
"Your Highness, I am at a loss for words."
"It doesn't matter what you are doing, stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and untie the rope for me."
Without saying anything, he nodded slightly in the direction behind him, holding the rope with both hands and walking towards that direction.
Shang Mujing turned around in embarrassment, only to see Shang Yuchen and Gu Yunshu standing behind him, staring at him with smiles in their eyes.
"Third brother! Why are you still haunting me? I just want to find Sister Jingyao, and I'm not going to kill people or set fires. Why are you following me to the death?!"
"Someone will investigate Jing'er's matter. There is no need for you to interfere. Just follow me back to the palace."
"I don't! Every time I go back, my father will catch me and scold me. He thinks I spend all my time traveling around and not making progress."
Seeing his eyes darting around, Shang Yuchen knew that he was thinking about a way to escape again. The moment he raised his hand, Zhi Lan, dressed in a smart outfit, walked out from behind him and untied the rope that bound Shang Mujing.
Shang Mujing rubbed his sore wrist and looked at Shang Yuchen dubiously, "What are you doing? Why don't you take me back?"
"You are too wild-minded. The palace cannot trap you, but it can trap others, such as... Empress Yafei. In a few days, there will be a talent show in the palace, and Empress Yafei is not willing to step in.
After leaving the palace, there will be less chance of waiting until the emperor steps into Dongyang Palace... Mujing, if you really have the heart to let Lady Yafei really accompany the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng and spend her entire life alone in the palace,
You can leave."
Shang Mujing touched his nose and murmured in a low voice, "Third brother, my mother-in-law is my mother-in-law, and Jingyao is Jingyao. What's wrong with me saving people first? I don't believe she will self-immolate! She's good at water, maybe.
He escaped! Anyway, I won’t give up until I see the body!”
"If you want to know about Jing'er, please follow me back to the palace first."
Shang Mujing's eyes lit up, and Pi Dian'er stepped forward and asked, "Third brother, is she really not dead? Is she just playing a trick in order to completely disconnect from the palace?"
"Mu Jing, you talk a little too much." Shang Yuchen reminded in a low voice.
Shang Mujing pressed forward and continued, "She must not be dead, otherwise you wouldn't have a sad look on your face."
"Sometimes, sadness doesn't have to show on your face."
"No, no! Anyway, I don't believe she is dead. When I go to the palace to see my father, the emperor, the empress, and the concubine, you can't stop me from going to Huanyu Mountain."
"what ever."
Shang Yuchen's carriage was parked not far away. After he and Gu Yunshu stepped onto the carriage, Shang Mujing was still tangled in place.
When the officers and soldiers around him dispersed and the carriage gradually moved away, he raised his head and was shocked to realize that Shang Yuzhen had actually left him alone.
"Brother! You really don't want me anymore!"
Shang Mujing untied the reins from the tree and rode his horse in the direction of Shang Yuchen's carriage.
...
The lunch at the General's Mansion didn't have too many delicacies. Although the food was simple, it was very delicious.
Xiao Chuhong kept serving dishes to Lu Jingshu and Su Zhen. His bowl was empty, but there was a mountain piled up in front of them.
"Zhen'er, these vegetables are all brought from the vegetable garden in Nanwei Mountain. I don't know if you are used to eating them."
Su Zhen took a spoonful of mushroom soup and swallowed it, "Madam, you are so polite. The dishes on this table are all my favorites. Speaking of vegetable gardens, I have actually seen them before. I didn't expect you to be so patient, Madam."
and talent, you must have put a lot of thought into it."
"It's just a matter of doing nothing in your free time and cultivating your sentiments."
Later, Su Zhen and Xiao Chuhong listened to Lu Jingshu talk about how she and Xiao Mohan got to know each other and stayed together. During this period, her eyes were filled with affection.
After lunch, the relationship between Lu Jingshu and Su Zhen became even more heated, and new topics continued to come up. Xiao Chuhong, who had been "left out", was naturally put aside and ignored.
When Su Zhen noticed his resentful look, she peeled a few grapes with her own hands and coaxed him to smile.
Xiao Chuhong no longer looked as pure and elegant as before. The bright light in the room fell on the three of them, outlines a shallow halo, and tiny dust particles floated in the air.
The maids outside the house listened to them telling countless interesting stories, and they couldn't help but admire Su Zhen in their hearts.
He thought that when the general brought a young man back to his home and claimed that he would marry him back to be the general's wife, he would definitely make his wife furious. Shui Neng could have imagined that the situation would be like this.
Just as the three people in the room were chatting happily, a young man hurried into the courtyard. After hearing this, Li Jiu shouted outside the house, "General, there is someone outside claiming to be Su Shaoqing's bodyguard, and he has an urgent need to see Su Shaoqing."
Guard? Is he the last to be promoted?
It shouldn't be! He usually uses the little demon to send messages, so why did he come to the door today? And he was actually waiting for the report and didn't break in without permission. It's not his style!
Su Zhen nodded to Xiao Chuhong, who said, "Bring him in."
"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."
"Just in time, I'm tired too. Let's go back and have a rest. After packing my luggage, it's time to set off." Lu Jingshu straightened her clothes and stood up gracefully.
"Have a safe trip, madam, and take care."
Xiao Chuhong patted her shoulder and said, "When things in the court cool down, I will take you to Tianshan. Moreover, my mother will definitely come back on the day we get married."
"I didn't say that I wanted to marry you. Madam said that I can also marry you back to the Tutor's Mansion."
"No, I must marry you and write your name on my Xiao family tree!"
Listening to their bickering, Lu Jingshu covered her lips with her handkerchief and smiled, and the other maids couldn't help laughing, laughing from ear to ear.
Su Zhen held her forehead, since she decided to be with Xiao Chuhong, both of them seemed to have become childish.
After sending Lu Jingshu out of the door, before entering again, Li Jiu had already led Mo Sheng into the courtyard.
"Eh? Mo Sheng, is it really you?" Su Zhen glanced at people's curious eyes, "Let's go in and talk."
"good."
...
After a few people sat down, Su Zhen asked, "What big thing happened? Is it worth a trip in person?"
"Yuzhu...ran away." Mo Sheng replied.
"Ah? He ran away? How did he run away? I clearly set up a barrier for his yard, how did he get out?"
"That boy is as cunning and restless as you. He took apart a table leg, dug a hole in the corner of the wall and escaped."
Su Zhen was stunned, and she did it in such a way?! This chapter has been completed!
