The prosperity of the Imperial Capital is unmatched by other cities. Especially after yesterday's noisy show, there was a lot to talk about after dinner. Walking in the streets with people coming and going, everyone talked about the place near Yizhuang.
murder.
On the road leading to the palace, a thin horse walked slowly forward with its neck bell ringing. The plump woman on the horse was covered by a gauze veil, but it could not hide her delicate jade hands and snow-white neck. Some men stared at the delicate
He was thinking about the horse, smelling the light fragrance floating by, and thinking about it. Every time at this time, the man leading the horse would speed up his pace inadvertently. However, he did not need to leave in a hurry, the cold breath spreading around his body had already shocked others, making those
The disciple with wandering eyes turned pale, turned his head and left in a hurry.
Because the person wearing the bamboo hat could clearly see the man's true face, most of the people's attention was focused on the woman, but the woman knew that if the silent escort took off the bamboo hat, I'm afraid the whole street would be worried about it.
of wonder.
Blue eyes, snow-skinned skin, eyes like flowing water, and exquisitely carved appearance like an immortal. This kind of appearance can only be found in heaven and cannot be seen in the ordinary world.
"We're here, Mr. Su." The soft voice was clear and gentle, with a hint of timidity and caution, but also full of trust.[
"I'll take you to the gate of the palace." After holding on to his bamboo hat and making sure that his appearance would not be seen by outsiders, Su Buqi deliberately slowed down, "We're not sure if it's safe yet, so let the guard notify and send someone to pick you up.
"
Suyan nodded and said nothing.
She has never been an independent person. At home, she listens to her sister, and in the palace, she listens to Concubine Jing and Yi Chen. Outside, she wholeheartedly believes in Su Buqi, and does whatever he says. Yi Chen once said that she
Too weak and too dependent on others, Suyan did not refute. She had always known her shortcomings, so she followed a man she was not familiar with and traveled all over the world. She couldn't count how much trouble she caused him along the way.
, let alone how to repay this kindness.
When the palace guards saw someone going straight to the main entrance, they immediately crossed their spears to stop them. Suyan dismounted and politely asked the guards to go to Lianchenxuan to report. After all, she didn't have Yi Chen's pass token like the singer Bai Qi, and she needed someone from the palace to go back.
Prove identity.
"I will go here to meet my adoptive father and the others. I will probably stay here for a while. If you need anything, you can come to me." Su Buqi handed the rolled-up note to Su Yan. Under the bamboo hat, he remained calm.
A calm expression.
"Thank you Mr. Su." Su Yan lowered his head and thanked her. She seemed to feel that something was missing. After thinking for a moment, Su Yan took off the jade pendant from her waist and handed it to Su Buqi. Her tone was extremely sincere: "Young Master Su has helped Su Yan so much in return.
This jade pendant is a pair held by my roommate, so I should give it to Mr. Su as a token. If Mr. Su is in need in the future, Su Yan will do her best to help. Although I always feel that someone like Mr. Su has no use for me.
You're a useless person, it's better to keep him in your thoughts."
Su Buqi hesitated for a moment, but finally took the jade pendant and put it away close to his body. His tone was a little warmer: "Remember not to mention my relationship with my adoptive father to the Seventh Prince. Being able to do this is a great help to me."
It had been many days along the way, and Su Yan still didn't understand the origins of Su Buqi, Su Jinyan, Feng Jiang and Ning Xizui. She only knew that these four people had the same blue eyes, the same mysteriousness, and
There was the carefree Mr. Ning who seemed to have some friendship with Bai Qige, but other than that, he knew nothing about it. However, Su Yan didn't care. It was enough to know that Yi Chen and Bai Qige had returned to the palace safely.
Just like the short time the two got together before, there was nothing but silence in the flowing air. It wasn't until someone called Su Yan from a distance inside the palace gate that the half-embarrassed and half-harmonious situation between the two was interrupted.
"Mrs. Suyan!" It was Yu Che who came to pick up Suyan. Before he could reach the palace gate, he opened his voice and shouted, "Madam, you are back. Both the young lady and His Highness are worried. If you don't come back, they will send people everywhere.
found!"
She was extremely happy to see the familiar figure. Suyan rubbed the dry circles under her eyes and felt a lump in her throat.
"Take care." Ci Ya's voice was light and ethereal, like a sigh and a farewell. He turned around in a hurry, and found that one person and one horse were already dozens of steps away, leaving a lonely figure behind him and drifting away.
For such a gentle and hidden but lonely person, it would be great if someone could be by his side. Suyan thought blankly, subconsciously holding the note tightly in her palm.
Su Yan's return was another great news. Bai Qige, who had just returned from Yaoheng Palace, was overjoyed. She ran to the door of Lianchenxuan to wait anxiously without even having time to change her clothes. When she saw Su Yan gradually approaching with the support of Yu Che, her face finally changed.
Showing a long-lost warm smile.
"I heard from Yu Che and Jin Zhaoyi that you were lost. I was still wondering whether you would come back, sister."
"Where can I go if I don't come back? My parents are gone a long time ago. I only have one close relative, Surao. Then there is Concubine Jing, you and Your Highness. Lianchenxuan is the only home in the world for me." Su Rao.
Yan looked at Lianchenxuan, who had been away for several months, with his eyes full of nostalgia. He accidentally bumped his arm against Yu Che, and he immediately took a breath.
Bai Qige frowned and involuntarily pulled Su Yan's arm and lifted up her sleeves. Her eyes were covered with bruises and bruises, and several other wounds were carefully bandaged with white cloth. She took a deep breath and looked at Su Yan. Bai Qige was worried: "Sister, this is
Where did the time go? Was it with Su Buqi? This whole body is covered with injuries..."
"It has nothing to do with Young Master Su. It was my clumsiness that caused the injury." Su Yan quickly shook her head in denial, a hint of shyness flashed through her eyes, "It's true that Young Master Su put a lot of effort into protecting me and helping to bandage the wound.
, very caring.”
Bai Qige understood Su Buqi's silence and gentleness. Such a person would never hurt Su Yan. It seemed that Su Yan was too spoiled and had never experienced such a rough experience. It was unknown what caused the disturbance on the way back. But looking at Su Yan's expression
…[
With a chuckle deep in her heart, Bai Qige seemed to see a glimmer of light that belonged only to Su Yan.
"By the way, where is Your Highness? Why don't you see anyone else? Are there any other concubines?" Suyan forced herself to forget about that lonely figure and hurriedly changed the topic.
"We have asked a famous doctor to check Concubine Jing's pulse. If she takes a good rest, she is very likely to recover. Your Highness is exhausted from traveling all the way. He is resting in the bedroom right now. Sister, please go change your clothes and drink a cup of hot tea. I will
Go call him now."
Su Yan stopped Bai Qige and shook her head gently: "Since His Highness is asleep, there is no need. He has always been very distracted and tired, so he can sleep as long as he can. Later I will ask Rao'er to go see the Concubine Jing.
That’s fine.”
When Su Rao was mentioned, Yu Che and Bai Qi Ge both felt sad. Having an affair with a court official was a serious crime. After Su Rao was inspected that day, several old palace maids took her to the forbidden room. Bai Qi Ge and Yi Chen were too busy to take care of themselves that they had no time to go to Yao Huang.
How could it be so easy for Su Yan to see her when she begged someone for mercy? Furthermore, if Su Yan knew that her biological sister was ruined by that old man, Prime Minister Zuo, wouldn't it be very sad for her sister to die?
Bai Qige winked at Yu Che, and Yu Che suddenly blocked Su Yan's path and dragged Su Yan to Concubine Jing's room on the grounds that the concubine Jing's side was taking care of her.
It's only a moment that can delay it, Bai Qige sighed, thinking of a way to bring Su Rao back as soon as possible is the main thing. Seeing that the sky was getting closer to afternoon, Yi Chenxuan should have rested almost, Bai Qige turned around and walked towards the bedroom.
The small courtyard where Yi Chen lives is clean and tidy, but there is nothing elegant about it. When he opens the door, the incense in the middle room is light, the bedroom door is closed tightly, and when he steps in, there are only a few sparks in the extinguished brazier, and there are people wrapped in quilts on the bed.
It's Yi Chen who is still sleeping.
"It's time to get up. If you sleep too much, you'll get a headache." Bai Qi sang her body like a mountain, and received a muffled groan, and then made no movement again.
On weekdays, Yi Chen sleeps very lightly and not much. Now that he is so worried, he can still sleep so soundly. It shows that he is really exhausted physically and mentally. Bai Qige can't bear to ruin his rare dream, but Su Rao's matter can't be postponed any longer. Compared with
As for Yi Chen's sleepiness, it is obvious that Sister Suyan is more important.
The aggravation force increased again, Bai Qige whispered in Yi Chen's ear: "Sister Suyan is back, why don't you get up and clean up quickly? Even if you are not in a hurry to see her, you should find a way to rescue Surao from a place like a forbidden room.
If you stay here too long, something will inevitably happen."
With a long sigh of regret, Yi Chen opened his hazy sleepy eyes, put his arms around Bai Qige's shoulders and leaned against him: "I can't sleep well when I have time. I finally want to sleep but you still come to disturb me, so you can't let me sleep a little longer.
What?"
"If you want to sleep, you have to wait until the business is done, right?" Bai Qige glanced sideways.
"Why are you the only one who knows you're anxious?" Yi Chen turned over and lay on his side, holding his forehead with one hand, "I'm more concerned about Surao's things than you are. I asked Jin Zhaoyi to take care of everything early in the morning. I'll be here tonight at the earliest and no later than tomorrow afternoon.
You will be sent back, are you relieved?"
After urging for a long time, it turned out that she was the most procrastinating one. Bai Qige was speechless and stared at Yi Chen blankly for a long time before throwing a pillow on him: "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"Needless to say? I should have thought of it a long time ago." Yi Chen sneered, then noticed Bai Qige's clothes, and frowned slightly, "Why are you dressed like this? Your head and face are covered with dust. Are you going to dig into the cracks in the ground or climb the tree on the wall?
Already?"
"You're half right. I climbed over the wall but didn't climb the tree."
What kind of wall can be climbed in the palace? Yi Chen was about to ask more, but suddenly thought of the only possibility.
Yi Chenxuan was banned from entering the remote hall. There were more than ten guards guarding the outside of the palace. However, these guards knew that it was impossible and unnecessary for the fifth prince to escape. However, the guards were not as strict as usual. Bai Qige must have taken advantage of the opportunity to climb over the wall and enter the remote hall.
Hedian went to find Yi Chenxuan.
"You acted without permission again." Yi Chen seemed a little angry, pulling up his sleeves and wiping Bai Qige's face hard, "No matter how fierce you are, no matter how hard you catch Yi Chenxuan off guard, he is still a man, and he will suffer the consequences if he takes action.
It will only be you. This is the last time. Don't take it for granted in the future. I don't have that much extra energy to worry about you all the time."
Bai Qige patted her sleeves and wiped her cheeks, then wiped the dust on the tip of Yi Chen's nose. This rare and playful move made Yi Chen confused and stunned.
"You must have underestimated me, and you don't want to think about how many times you have suffered losses at my hands. If I want to go to him, I will naturally think carefully and arrange everything in advance to minimize the risk. I am very concerned about surviving.
persistent."[
Yi Chen shrugged noncommittally.
Indeed, as Bai Qige said, her pursuit of life and her obsession with living well are the source of her dazzling light. Her maturity lies in not being blind and not making reckless wrong decisions based on impulse. This is exactly
He is incomparable to most people, so Bai Qige will protect herself as much as possible to prevent her loved ones from falling into grief. In this regard, there is no need for him to worry too much.
After wiping off the stain on the tip of his nose, Yi Chen sat cross-legged on the couch, leaning on his knees with his elbows, pressing his clenched fist against his forehead, and pondered for a long time before speaking again.
"How is your plan going? Can it be our turn to sit back and watch what happens next?"
