Concubine Situ Hui was obviously displeased. She raised the curtain and said to the escort beside the carriage: "Go and see who the person who stopped the carriage is. If he dares to cause trouble, he will be taken to the Yamen of Jincheng for interrogation."

Concubine Tu's carriage was facing that. The guard was about to leave after receiving the order, but Lin Ruoxi called the guard and did not explain to Concubine Situ Hui: "Concubine Hui, this man who stopped the carriage is Ruoxi's old friend. He

To stop the carriage so rashly, I must not have known that the person in the carriage was actually your concubine Hui."

Concubine Situ Hui glanced back at Madam Situ, but she saw no doubts from Madam Situ, nor did she have any intention to ask Lin Ruoxi, so she stopped pursuing it, and said kindly to the guard: "Go down, it's okay.

Got it!"

The guards took the order and retreated to the side of the carriage. Lin Ruoxi said goodbye to Concubine Situ Hui and Mrs. Situ, got off the carriage and walked towards the man on the black horse.

I haven't seen him for nearly two years. This time I saw Xia Lingzhen, he was no longer the sickly handsome man with a medicine jar before. Instead, he was heroic and majestic.[

His eyebrows are as deep and charming as deep pools, his lips are plump, his lips are red and his teeth are white when he smiles, and he is full of elegance when he raises his hands and feet.

He was wearing an aqua blue robe with green bamboo embroidered on the hem and sleeves. He looked very elegant and aloof, reminiscent of a graceful gentleman.

"Fourth Miss?" Xia Lingzhen called softly, but when he saw the woman in front of him, she was dressed in a white dress as beautiful as a cotton cloud. Her charming face remained unchanged, but these two years had passed, and on her delicate face,

He saw a calm, quiet and unique charm, which made Xia Ling really feel that he had never known such a unique woman. However, upon closer inspection, she was indeed Lin Ruoxi, the fourth daughter of Prime Minister Lin.

When he saw Lin Ruoxi smiling and nodding, Xia Lingzhen's deep pool-like eyes suddenly shone with uncontrollable joy.

Lin Ruoxi approached him, and he jumped off the horse. He looked at Lin Ruoxi carefully for a long time before he dared to ask: "Are you really the Fourth Miss? Why are you so different?"

Lin Ruoxi joked: "Is it because I have become ugly that Brother Xia can't see me?"

Xia Lingzhen shook his head and smiled: "It's not that you have become ugly, but that you have become more and more beautiful."

"Brother Xia, you will make fun of Ruoxi." Lin Ruoxi and Xia Lingzhen looked at each other, with warm smiles appearing in their eyes.

After a moment, Lin Ruoxi broke the silence and asked the question in her heart: "Brother Xia, did you come to Nanjiang Kingdom after you left Dali Kingdom? What did you do when you got here? Why don't you come back again?

See you going back to Dali Kingdom?"

Seeing Lin Ruoxi caring about him so much, he still felt warm in his heart, but when he thought of his own experience, he couldn't help but feel a little sad: "You also know that my family is a family of soldiers. My elder brother and younger brothers all joined the army under the training of my grandfather.

, but I have been interested in joining the army since I was a child, and I have a unique talent for business. Although my grandfather and father have advised and taught me, I still like to be in business. That day when I said goodbye to my sister, I came to

Those who are engaged in business in Southern Xinjiang have of course experienced many difficulties and obstacles, but fortunately I have survived them all and am living quite well now."

He was also curious as to why Lin Ruoxi's identity had changed, so he asked: "Ruoxi, I heard His Highness King Mu mentioned you and said that you are now Miss Situ in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. What's going on?"

Because the place where they were talking was quite far away from Mrs. Situ and Concubine Situ Hui, they would not be afraid of being heard by people in the carriage even if they talked softly.

Lin Ruoxi said calmly: "It can be said that it was a mistake. Anyway, brother Xia is better not to ask any further questions. When Ruoxi sees brother in person one day, it will not be too late to tell you these things." She had just learned from it.

Xia Lingzhen heard the key point in his words and asked, "Is the His Highness King Mu that Brother Xia mentioned in his mouth, Li Mu, the ninth prince of Southern Xinjiang? How did you know each other?"

"This person is Li Mu. I know His Highness King Mu from business. He wanted to buy the silk satin that I brought from the Dali Kingdom. I didn't expect that she would spend a lot of money when buying it, and the silk satin was very pleasing to her.

He liked it, so he wanted to meet the owner of the silk cloth pile in person. Unexpectedly, I hit it off with His Highness King Mu at this meeting. We talked about many things and got to know each other and became good friends. I am always aware of your news.

It was found out from his mouth.”

He hurriedly added: "Although His Highness Prince Mu looks very playboyish and uninhibited on the surface, he is very kind in his heart and is also a person who values ​​love and justice, so you don't have to worry about him taking your

Your identity will be revealed to outsiders, just live a good life in your Pingyang Marquis Mansion."

Lin Ruoxi nodded. She did not tell him what Li Mu had threatened her that day, but when she thought of Li Mu's cold attitude towards her, she still felt angry, but she just didn't show it openly.

Concubine Situ Hui and Mrs. Situ on the carriage obviously couldn't wait any longer, so they opened the curtain of the carriage and called to Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi looked back at them and smiled, saying that she would go back to the carriage in a moment, and then said goodbye to Xia Lingzhen: "Brother Xia, I don't know when I will see you again after we say goodbye today. Ruoxi is now living in Pingyang Hou Mansion. If you have anything to do, see you."

Ruoxi, you can come here and report directly to the guards guarding the door, they will tell me that you are here, and I will personally receive you to the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion."

Xia Ling was really reluctant to leave. After all, it had been two years since he met the woman he thought about day and night. However, this meeting was also so short, and he had to leave her again in less than a quarter of an hour.[

He took out a purple jade sign from his pocket and handed it to Lin Ruoxi, with a warm smile on his lips: "You can take this sign out when necessary. It may be useful to you."

Lin Ruoxi took this exquisite purple jade sign and saw a lotus pattern engraved on it, and under the lotus was a ball of flame. She felt that this purple jade sign was very special, but she didn't know what was strange about it. She raised her eyes and looked at Xia Lingzhen.

I wanted to ask what happened, but I saw that Xia Lingzhen looked indifferent, obviously not wanting to tell it the secret about this piece of purple jade.

/

She put away the purple jade sign and bowed to him: "Brother Xia, see you another day." 13v.

Xia Lingzhen nodded slightly, saying goodbye to her, and Lin Ruoxi turned around and walked slowly towards the carriage. When she got on the carriage, she looked back and smiled at him, turned around and lifted the curtain and entered the carriage.

Xia Lingzhen led the black horse to one side, and Concubine Situ Hui's carriage drove away from him, but Xia Lingzhen kept standing there, staring at the farther and farther carriage, thinking about everything he had just said with her.

In one word, every expression she made, he smiled softly, and after the carriage left his sight, he jumped on the horse and drove away.

On the carriage, Concubine Situ Hui and Mrs. Situ were obviously very curious about this jade-faced young master. Before Mrs. Situ could speak, Concubine Situ Hui asked anxiously: "Ruoxi, I and my sister-in-law saw it on the carriage just now.

, seeing you talking and laughing, I must have a good relationship between you, right?"

Lin Ruoxi nodded and said: "Yes, I already knew him when Ruoxi was fostered in the Lin family. He is the nephew of Ruoxi's third aunt, and he is also Ruoxi's cousin, so he has always cared about Ruoxi.

, the relationship between the two of us is naturally good."

When Mrs. Situ heard this, she didn't think there was anything special about it, but Concubine Situ Hui worriedly asked again: "Ruoxi, my aunt has something to ask you. Do you like this cousin?"

Lin Ruoxi saw what Concubine Situ Hui was thinking, and she answered decisively: "No, we have always been brother and sister..." She saw Concubine Situ Hui breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. She felt that this would make people's hearts turn.

It would be better to stop what she was thinking before it happened. She added: "So far, Ruo Xi has not thought about getting married, and I have always regarded my cousins ​​as

Brother, I have never thought of Yu Yue at all, let alone ruined the relationship between brother and sister."

When Concubine Situ Hui heard that Lin Ruoxi had returned to Pingyang Marquis Mansion, she knew that this woman had a very stubborn temper. If she said something, she would never take it back. No one could stop her from saying or doing whatever she wanted.

Got her.

She couldn't help but feel suffocated in her heart. Although she was smiling on her face, she was extremely anxious in her heart. But when she thought of her sons Li Mao and Li Mu, both of whom were so talented in both civil and military affairs, she couldn't believe that they were incompetent.

, instead of chasing this stubborn little cousin, and marrying her as a wife, Concubine Situ Hui felt much more relaxed and her smile became gentler when she thought of it.

Mrs. Situ could see what Concubine Situ Hui was thinking, but Lin Ruoxi didn't want to detect the meaning of her thoughts this time. She weighed the purple jade sign in her arms in her hand and looked at it, but she still didn't know this.

What was the difference between the brands, so she put away the purple jade brand, leaned on Mrs. Situ's shoulder, and took a short rest.

An hour later, they finally arrived at the palace, and then the carriage drove along the corridor in the palace, and soon arrived at the Lanxin Palace of Concubine Situ Hui.

Mrs. Situ and Concubine Situ Hui got off the carriage first, followed by Lin Ruoxi. Concubine Situ Hui took Mrs. Situ's hand and entered the palace, asking the maid to clean up a room in the side hall. Then she and Mrs. Situ

, Lin Ruoxi entered the hall together.

The three of them were chatting and laughing, and suddenly a palace maid came to report in a panic: "It's not good, Concubine Hui, Concubine Hua fell down in front of the gate of Lanxin Palace on her way to see you, and...

There was a lot of blood."
