The young scholar didn't walk very far along the road before he thought about finding a place to rest.
The old servant sneered while carrying the book: "It's been three days since I walked and I haven't had much rest. You are on the run now, not on a study tour."
Chu Yurong, who was fleeing, looked at a village in front of him and said in another way: "This location is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a good place to stay."
Wang Xian sighed and put the book on the ground angrily: "I'm exhausted from carrying this piece of shit. It will be bad if I follow you. I shouldn't have taken advantage of it in the first place."
Chu Yurong comforted him: "Don't say that. We princes, you will do no good if you follow anyone."
Wang Xian laughed angrily again and looked at the young man's smooth and handsome face - he said he was fleeing, but he only escaped from the Sixth Prince's Mansion, not the capital. He didn't even seriously disguise his appearance, just simply painted it a little gray.
Apply powder and slightly reshape the eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth.
He said angrily: "Why do you only let me pretend to be an old man? You are obviously the best at it."
Chu Yurong said: "Mr. Wang, you are already an old man, there is no need to pretend."
Wang Xian was so angry that he vomited blood and stared at the young man. He left the Sixth Prince's Mansion and the Imperial Palace, and his behavior became more and more the same as when he was pretending to be an iron-faced general - he lifted the weight with ease, he was sure to win, and he was fearless.
Now that things have happened, there is really nothing to fear.
"Why not go back to Xijing?" Wang Xian asked, "When the prince reaches Xijing, it will not be so easy to use the people there."
Chu Yurong only said: "There's no rush."
Wang Xian sneered: "Are you going to guard Chen Danzhu here?"
Guessing that the emperor would only care about the prince when he was on the verge of death, they would definitely eliminate all dangers for the prince, and would expose the identity of General Chu Yurong to the prince. They immediately left the Sixth Prince's Mansion, knowing that Chen Danzhu would be captured.
implicated.
The prince's storm was nothing to Chu Yurong, but what about Chen Danzhu?
"You have seen with your own eyes that before the emperor's secret guards arrived in front of Chen Danzhu's house, Zhou Xuan arrived, holding a knife and wanting to fight with the secret guards."
They were watching from the sidelines and saw Chen Danzhu being sent to the palace by Zhou Xuan himself.
"The prince in the imperial city only focuses on the area of His Majesty's palace. The rest is in Chu Xiurong's hands."
When Wang Xian said this, he glanced at Chu Yurong, half-smiling.
"With Chu Xiurong here? Miss Danzhu will not suffer? In terms of friendship, they are also very weak."
Chu Yurong nodded after hearing this: "Miss Danzhu is loved by everyone like this."
Wang Xian rolled his eyes? He was the only one who could say this without a blush on his face, right? Ms. Danzhu was almost hated by everyone.
"Anyway, is Chen Danzhu okay? Just leave it alone and let's go back to Xijing as soon as possible."
Chu Yurong shook his head: "I'm not used to placing my hopes on others."
Wang Xian frowned: "Then what can you do now? Even if I can't catch you? Declare you to murder the emperor? There is no place for you in the world."
Chu Yurong waved his hand at him: "It's not that I don't have a place, it's because of my status as the Sixth Prince."
Wang Xian rolled his eyes again. Now that the identity of General Iron Mask is dead, the identity of the Sixth Prince is also dead? What can he do without his identity?
"I, Chu Yurong, have never relied on my identity to get where I am today." Chu Yurong said, looking in the direction of Xijing.
As the emperor's son, he got nothing but a forgotten mansion. It took him three years to gain an apprenticeship with the Iron Mask General.
Can he survive to this day pretending to be a general in the iron mask? Is it not just because of his identity as a general in the iron mask? As long as he does anything less than the general? Not only is his identity gone, but his life is also gone.
In the past few years he has been in the army, he has been in danger several times, and his escape was all thanks to himself, not his identity.
Now the identity of the Iron-faced General? The identity of the Sixth Prince is gone? So what?
Chu Yurong looked in the direction of Xijing.
"It's up to me to decide who I am."
.....
.....
Chen Danzhu lived in a cell. After reading the last page of the book, he just threw it on the table when he heard the sound of footsteps.
"Aji, you came just in time." She said, "Help me steal some books from His Majesty's study."
"How dare you steal the books from His Majesty's study!" Princess Jin Yao's voice came.
Chen Danzhu stood up in surprise and joy, and looked at the girl who walked in. Princess Jin Yao's face looked a little haggard after not seeing her for a long time.
"Princess, are you okay?" She stepped forward and held her hand and asked with concern.
Princess Jin Yao originally had a lot to ask, and even wanted to keep a straight face, but the moment the girl grabbed her hand, she felt that there was no need to ask anything, and her face softened.
"Danzhu." She sighed softly, "What on earth is going on?"
This is not a question, but an exclamation.
Chen Danzhu held her hand tightly: "His Highness the Sixth Prince said that His Majesty was not mad at him. As for poisoning, it is even more nonsense."
Princess Jin Yao also held her hand tightly, with red eyes: "I know that Sixth Brother will never poison my father, because it is unnecessary and he has never asked for anything extravagantly from my father."
Without extravagant demands, there will be no disappointment, no resentment, and no murderous intentions.
Chen Danzhu sighed: "With your words like this, even if you are in danger now, His Highness the Sixth Prince will definitely be very happy."
Princess Jin Yao smiled and reached out to poke her forehead: "Looking at what you said, you are closer than my sixth brother and I, and now you are acting like a sister-in-law?"
Chen Danzhu smiled and ducked away: "What do you mean by showing off? Your Majesty said so eloquently, I am your sister-in-law. Come on, call me and listen."
Princess Jin Yao was so amused by her that she leaned on the table and laughed, smiling and feeling a little sad.
"Danzhu." She said softly, "I'm so sorry. You were implicated because of an unintentional disaster."
Chen Danzhu looked sad: "Your sixth brother should say this."
Princess Jin Yao smiled again, looked around and lowered her voice: "I don't know if Brother Six would say such a thing, but I think Brother Six must be thinking about you out there. Maybe he didn't run away."
Maybe he will come to save her.
Although it was inexplicable, Chen Danzhu couldn't help but think like this and sighed, so the prince also thought the same way and arrested her and locked her up in order to frame the crime and to seduce Chu Yurong.
Seeing her uneasiness, Princess Jin Yao held her hand: "Don't worry, my father is getting better day by day. Although he can't speak yet, he is awake more often." At this point, she gritted her teeth again and said, "My father is getting better and better.
The better, the prince can't keep us from seeing him. His father is not his father alone. When I see his father, I will ask what's going on. I don't believe that my father would treat Sixth Brother like this.
, Brother Six has done so many things and made so much credit——"
Chen Danzhu was a little surprised when he heard this and asked: "Your Highness, the Sixth Highness, has done a lot of things? Has he also made meritorious deeds?"
Why doesn't the world know about his meritorious service?
Jin Yao almost bit her tongue before she stopped. Now that her father, the Crown Prince, is like this, the secrets of the Sixth Prince cannot be revealed, otherwise we don't know what kind of trouble it will cause——
Moreover, she actually had a vague suspicion that she didn't want to face. The prince might not have lied. It was really the emperor who issued the killing order to the sixth prince. The reason was that Chu Yurong was once an iron-faced general.
As a princess who is familiar with the art of horning, she is very aware of the terror and threat of power. She cannot take it lightly when facing a woman who appears to be weak, as long as she appears in the horning field.
In the eyes of the emperor and the prince, Chu Yurong was a threat.
However, Chu Yurong is also a son. Locking him up and driving him away is not enough. How could his father——
Looking at Princess Jin Yao's expression, Chen Danzhu had determined that the unknown secret between the sixth prince and the emperor was the real cause of this incident.
What is it?
To make the emperor want to murder this son?
The only thing that made the emperor feel murderous was threats.
Why would a weak and baseless prince be a threat?
Those Xiaowei, Fenglin, Wang Xian——
People were rushing around in their minds like lightning, as if some idea was about to pop up——
"Miss Danzhu, princess, it's not good." Aji shouted and ran in from outside, interrupting their chaotic thoughts.
Chen Danzhu and Jin Yao both stood up in an instant. It couldn't be the emperor——
"No." Aji looked at the two people's pale faces and hurriedly swallowed to reassure them, "It's not your Majesty, it's the envoy from Xiliang who is here."
Chen Danzhu and Jin Yao sat down without any strength, frightened to death.
"The envoy from Xiliang came as soon as he came. What's wrong?" Princess Jin Yao scolded angrily.
Aji looked at her with a sad expression: "Princess, the envoy from Xiliang was in the main hall just now, asking for the prince of Xiliang to marry the princess."
