After leaving Yunwailou, the sky was already dark.
Li Huang walked in front, and Mo Jingzhan walked behind. As for Ling Yuan, Li Huang had already taken care of it in advance.
Just before getting on the carriage, Li Huang suddenly stopped, turned to look at the silent Ning Qi, and asked: "Are you following me?"
The sword in Mo Jingzhan's hand had long been sheathed. At this moment, he was holding his arms, as if he was keeping away from strangers. Li Huang suddenly stopped. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have bumped into her right now.
Seeing the woman's glaring eyes, clearly wanting to break the casserole and ask the question, Mo Jingzhan glanced at her carriage and said speechlessly: "People in the whole alley saw this carriage passing through Fireworks Alley and came to Yunwai Tower. I want to find the princess."
, just ask around."
"There are so many carriages passing through Fireworks Alley every day, how do they know that the person you are looking for is me?"
Mo Jingzhan glanced at Li Huang meaningfully, avoided his eyes and said nothing.
However, just when Li Huang was about to ask more questions, Mo Jingzhan suddenly said: "But your carriage is the only one... and there is a woman inside."
Besides the eldest princess Li Huang, which other woman would dare to enter and leave such a place openly?
Mo Jingzhan stretched out his hand and said, "It's getting late, and it's time for the princess to return home."
Li Huang looked at Mo Jingzhan who reached out his hand, thought for a while, and whispered: "Thank you."
If Mo Jingzhan hadn't arrived in time today, she might not have been able to go so smoothly.
After saying this, she climbed into the carriage by herself.
"Go home."
The coachman was not there, so Mo Jingzhan drove the carriage himself, and the low-key but luxurious carriage drove towards the long street again.
However, just after the two left, a figure sneaked into the darkness quietly.
It's late at night, Anguo Duke's Mansion.
The Medical Administrator of Taiyuan Hospital personally took action, and Gu Chenzhou's injury just improved.
Gu Chenzhou was leaning on the bed, holding a book in his hand, but he couldn't read a word.
Li Huang had no news at all all day today.
In the past, whenever he felt unwell, she would run to An Guo Gong's Mansion three times a day, but this time since his injury, she had only been there that day when she came to treat him under the Medical Policy, and never since.
appeared.
Is she still angry?
Just when Gu Chenzhou was upset, a delicate voice suddenly came from the door: "Brother Shen Zhou."
Gu Chenzhou's eyes lit up and he suddenly turned his head to look. However, when he saw the person coming, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
Gu Chenzhou hesitated for a moment, then stood up and saluted: "Second Princess."
Li Chuchu quickly stepped forward to hold his arm, "Brother Shen Zhou, be careful of the wounds on your body."
Gu Chenzhou glanced at the slender hand holding him, his brows furrowed unconsciously, then he calmly avoided Li Chuchu's hand and said distantly: "Why are the second princess here?"
Li Chuchu bit her lip in an instant and looked at Gu Chenzhou with tearful eyes, "Brother Chen Zhou used to call me Chu Chu, why are we different now?"
In the past, whenever she called him "Brother Shen Zhou", he would always respond to her request. On the other hand, Li Huang, so what if she was the eldest princess? How could he ever answer her every call of "Brother Shen Zhou"?
Thinking of this, Li Chuchu felt even more proud.
However, Gu Chenzhou only felt bored at the moment. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "There is a difference between the king and the minister. I was young and ignorant, and committed a big taboo. I hope the princess can forgive me."
Li Chuchu's heart sank. When she raised her eyes, she looked at Gu Chenzhou with eyes full of grievance, "Brother Chenzhou, are you alienating me because of the eldest princess?"
"This is Wei Chen's own business and has nothing to do with Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Mentioning Li Huang, Gu Chenzhou's tone was obviously much softer, but this subtle difference was like a knife cutting in Li Chuchu's eyes.
However, Li Chuchu was always smart and noticed that Gu Chenzhou was upset. She rolled her eyes and changed the subject: "Elder Princess has always cared about you. Why don't you see her visiting the doctor today?"
This knife struck Gu Chenzhou's vital point.
He lowered his eyes and said softly: "Maybe something important happened at the princess's house."
"Oh? Really?" Li Chuchu pretended to be surprised, tilted her head and asked simply: "But today Chu Chu heard someone say that she saw with her own eyes that the eldest princess sister had taken in a new guard. The two were inseparable, and they even went in and out of Fireworks Alley together today.
Woolen cloth!"
"What? Fireworks Alley?" Gu Chenzhou sat up suddenly and pulled at the wound in excitement. He groaned in pain and turned pale.
Seeing his reaction, Li Chuchu knew that he was still thinking about Li Huang. She suppressed her anger and smiled innocently: "Chu Chu just heard rumors, but... this kind of thing cannot be groundless, I think it must be true."
What a misunderstanding."
"Is there any misunderstanding? She has always been unruly, but hasn't she ever thought about this kind of honorable matter for herself?"
Gu Chenzhou struggled to get up, but his injuries were too serious. After struggling several times, he finally fell in front of the bed.
He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and said in frustration: "It's my fault!"
"She must have been so angry with me that she did something wrong!"
Li Chuchu raised her eyebrows. She had been frightened by the dead man in the past two days. She didn't understand why the assassin was abandoned in her mansion. It wasn't until she saw the guard today and the evil aura around him that she understood.
.
It turns out that Li Huang has found a powerful person.
But even so, she is not willing to give in! She must let Li Huang's reputation be ruined. From now on, there will be no eldest princess in the world, only her princess Li Chuchu!
At this moment, looking at Gu Chenzhou's obviously angry expression, Li Chuchu's eyes were filled with coldness. She suddenly showed a decent smile and said softly: "Brother Chenzhou, don't be anxious. The eldest princess must act in a measured way. I believe she
It was just a whim..."
"enough!"
Gu Chenzhou shouted angrily, the anger in his eyes almost overflowing.
Li Chuchu was stunned when he shouted at her like this.
This was the first time she saw such an out-of-control expression on Gu Chenzhou's face. But it was because of Li Huang.
Thinking of this, Li Chuchu swallowed up his grievances and said to Gu Chenzhou: "If brother Shenzhou wants to know whether this is true or not, Chu Chu has a way."
*
The next day, it rained continuously.
Japan is cold in winter, and when it rains, Li Huang wishes he could stay in bed.
When Lingyuan came in, she took a hand stove and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, why are you doing this? The golden charcoal is gone. I can just go to the House of Internal Affairs to get some. Why do you have to suffer?"
Li Huang shook his head, Leng's teeth chattering: "This year there are floods in the south, and the national treasury is not rich. My father has taken the lead in cutting back on food and clothing and reducing expenses. As the eldest princess, how can I continue to be so extravagant and wasteful?"
"But the second princess's house has more golden charcoal than ours. As the eldest princess..."
"It's okay, you can go to the kitchen and make some warm soup."
After Li Huang finished speaking, she wrapped herself in her cloak and was about to get up. But as soon as she got out of the quilt, she held her waist and sneezed loudly.
"A sneeze!"
"Princess……"
"It's okay, you can go."
"yes."
Lingyuan sighed, knowing her princess's temper, so she turned around and went out to the kitchen without much persuasion.
Not long after she left, there was a steady sound of footsteps outside the palace door.
When Li Huang heard the footsteps, he knew it was Ning Qi.
She yawned, sat down at the desk with her head curled up, and said lazily: "It's cold today, so you should rest."
The footsteps suddenly stopped, and there was only a faint sound of rain falling outside the door.
Just when Li Huang thought he would leave, Mo Jingzhan opened the door and walked in. He stood in front of the door against the light, with a very upright figure and a few blooming plum blossoms in his hands.
"Your Highness, are there any beautiful vases here?"
