Chapter 453 The Crown Prince and the Young Madam

Author: Leng Qingshan

"What?"

Mu Xian's expression was solemn, but he did not show any surprise or anger. He only remained silent for a moment before saying, "Why do you say that?"

Cheng Qiao said: "There was a fire in the general's residence. For such a big thing, we only investigated a little bit and then stopped investigating?"

"..."

"It seems that I don't want to investigate further."

"..."

"Also, the general's illness has been dragging on for so many days and has not improved. If we can't find the medicine, will it just keep dragging on like this? Isn't that just a dead end - "

At this point, he seemed to dare not say any more.

Mu Xian's eyes flickered even more fiercely.

He said in a deep voice: "Are you doubting the young madam?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Qiao changed his face and waved his hands hastily: "No, I don't!"

"..."

"I just feel...a little weird."

"..."

"The other thing is - the Crown Prince, he came over suddenly this time, saying that the Ministry of War wanted to hold accountable the last defeat, but after he came, he didn't even say a word to that Ma Xu. And, why do I think the Crown Prince and Ma Xu

There seems to be a little bit between the young ladies..."

He was very careful when he said this. He was originally talking about his master's affairs, and it was about men and women. Before he finished speaking, he felt that Mu Xian's face changed obviously. He immediately closed his mouth, but saw Mu Xian's expression.

Cheng Qiao gave him a complicated look and seemed hesitant to speak, which made Cheng Qiao even more confused.

He asked: "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Mu Xian was silent for a while and then said: "You just came from Jiangdu, so you don't know. However, you will have to know sooner or later. When you are with the general, you must also know this taboo."

"Taboo? What taboo?"

"Young Madam, the original marriage arrangement was to marry the Crown Prince."

"What!?"

Cheng Qiao stared at him for a while with his eyes wide open in astonishment, then looked back, looking far away, and could only vaguely see the courtyard glowing in the night, and said with a smile: "The young lady and the prince are the ones who

--,That--"

He lowered his voice and said in disbelief: "Are you doubting the young lady -"

Mu Xian frowned and shook his head gently.

He said: "Although, I also think that the Crown Prince seems to be a little bit fond of the young lady...but I still understand the young lady's character. She is by no means the kind of person who is always in a hurry."

"..."

"It's just that, as you just said, her behavior this time is indeed a bit abnormal."

"..."

"The general's illness came so strangely this time. The young lady did not check the cause of the illness, nor did she ask about the consequences of the illness. She just spent her time in Fufeng. This is not like her usual behavior."

"So what do we do?"

Mu Xian pondered for a while and then simply said: "No matter what, the safety of the general is the most important. No matter what happens next, we must first protect the general and secondly protect Fufeng. This is our duty during this expedition.

"

"I see."

Cheng Qiao nodded and followed him forward, but when he was leaving, he couldn't help but look back at the silent and strange courtyard.

Almost everyone left.

Good Tong'er also led a newly sent team of men and began to patrol around the yard. As expected, he was very energetic, carrying a pair of copper hammers with a menacing look, and even stared at a fly for a long time.

.

Seeing him like this, Yu Wenzu let out a chuckle.

He still wore the piece of cotton gauze, covering most of his face with only his clear and beautiful eyes exposed. Such a smile made him look a little gentler. Shang Ruyi turned to look at him, said nothing, and lowered his head.

Yu Wenzuo said: "This child is quite interesting."

Shang Ruyi said: "Yeah."

"I heard from my father that Fengchen conquered it from Wanggang Village."

"yes."

"I heard that he was originally a substitute for Zhao in the palace who became a monk for His Majesty. His name was Shan Congzhen."

"it's him."

"I didn't expect that the children in the palace would be used by Feng Chen."

"...As long as you are willing, let alone the children in the palace, even the palace guards can be used for your own purposes."

Hearing these words, Yuwen's eyes flickered for a moment, and he lowered his head to look at Shang Ruyi, with a faint smile in his eyes: "For example?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi did not answer him.

Instead, after lowering his head and being silent for a while, he raised his head and looked at Yu Wensu and said, "It's getting late, brother, are you going to rest?"

Yu Wensu raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at her, and then looked back at the room.

Then he said: "It's time for me to rest too."

"..."

"It's just that this time I came in a hurry, and what happened just now happened when I arrived. They didn't have time to prepare a room for me to rest. I'm afraid I will have to delay here for a while."

Shang Ruyi said: "Brother came to Fufeng this time and didn't notify the people here in advance?"

Yuwen said in surprise: "No."

"..."

Shang Ruyi's eyebrows frowned slightly again.

Looking at her twinkling eyes, Yu Wenzhen smiled faintly and said, "Why, my younger siblings seem to doubt me."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't dare."

Yu Wenzhen said calmly: "I said, now I serve in the Ministry of War. This time, the Ministry of War wants to hold Fufeng accountable for the previous defeat. In addition, I am worried about Fengchen's health, so I asked Ying to come over. Naturally, I will not notify you in advance in this case.

of."

Shang Ruyi was silent again and nodded: "In that case, then-"

Before she finished speaking, she heard a sudden shout from a good boy outside the courtyard wall: "Who is that!?"

Such a sound suddenly sounded in the quiet night, and even the two people under the eaves were startled. They could only hear a commotion outside, as if someone had been caught.

The two looked at each other and hurried out.

Not far from the courtyard gate, I saw Shantong'er leading a group of guards around a man, saying something noisily. The man shouted anxiously: "I was ordered to find the crown prince!"

When the good boy heard this, he was stunned.

Hearing this, Yu Wenzhen also walked over, took a look, and said gently: "This is the person I'm looking for, don't get me wrong."

Shang Ruyi stepped forward and saw that he was a man in short attire and looked unfamiliar.

The good boy pouted and said, "Master? Why did you call someone here in the middle of the night? You scared us for nothing."

Shang Ruyi immediately faced him: "Good boy!"

The good boy held his mouth and lowered his head.

Yuwen Sui didn't mind being scolded. He only smiled gently and said, "I just wrote a letter and asked the people at the inn to come over immediately to get it and send it out overnight. I don't want to cause any misunderstandings among you."

After saying that, he took out a sealed letter from his arms and handed it into the man's hand.

The man took the letter, bowed, then turned and left.

It comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry.

Shan Tong'er didn't have much to say and just continued patrolling with the guards. Shang Ruyi stood there, watching the man's back disappear into the night.

Then he looked back at Yu Wensu: "Brother, where are you sending this letter?"

Yu Wenzuo looked down at her, feeling calm and said with a smile: "Daxing."

"...?"

Shang Ruyi frowned slightly and said, "Brother just arrived and sent a letter back? Is that letter to the Ministry of War?"

"I haven't done anything that the Ministry of War wants to hold accountable. Naturally, it's not for the Ministry of War."

"That is--"

"For father."

Shang Ruyi's breath suffocated, and she subconsciously opened her eyes to look at him. She saw Yu Wenzhen's expression became more solemn, and he lowered his head and said to her: "The previous battle report only mentioned that Feng Chen was ill, and my father had already

I'm very worried; but I only found out about Feng Chen's true condition after I came here, so naturally I can't hide this kind of thing from him."

"..."

"Brothers and sisters should know that it only takes about a day's journey from here to Daxing at a quick pace, which means -"

Shang Ruyi's breath was heavy, and she took over his words and said: "In other words, in two days, father's instructions will also be transmitted to Fufeng."

"good,"

Yuwen said in surprise: "At that time, Feng Chen's illness happened to be——"

Although he hadn't finished speaking, Shang Ruyi fully understood what he meant.

If Yu Wenye's condition does not improve, it may happen in three days - then at that time, she needs to make an explanation to Sheng Guogong. After all, she is the one who insists on letting Yu Wenye leave Fufeng, which has no good doctor, let alone the right medicine.

; If Yu Wenye's condition improves, after three days, Sheng Guogong, who knows his true condition, will definitely let Yu Wenye return to Daxing.

It is even possible that Duke Sheng Guo will not issue instructions in his own capacity, but will directly send transfer orders from the court. After all, he is already the prime minister.

By that time, Yu Wenye would have to leave.

This is a foolproof arrangement.

Shang Ruyi's breathing became a little deeper, and she whispered: "I understand."

"..."

"Brother is really careful in his actions."

Yu Wenzhen looked at her for a while, and then said: "However, since my letter has been circulated, I will not urge you to take Feng Chen away in the future."

"..."

"So whatever you want to do next, you can just go ahead and do it."

"..."

"I will help you."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi glanced at him and didn't know what to respond for a moment.

No matter it's sunny during the day or it's dark at night, the pupils in front of you are always translucent, with a bit of mystery that makes people unable to see the depth, just like what he said after revealing his true body and appearing in front of her.

In everything he did, even if Shang Ruyi tried his best to convince himself that he was an enemy rather than a friend, he still couldn't be sure.

Who knows what his "gang" will be?

After a long silence, Shang Ruyi said: "Well, thank you very much, brother."

At this moment, Chief Shi Zhuzhe came over, bowed to the two of them, and then said to Yu Wenzai: "Your Majesty, your residence has been arranged, it is next door."

Yuwen Zuo nodded, turned to Shang Ruyi and said, "Then, I'll go and rest first. My brothers and sisters should worry about Feng Chen."

Shang Ruyi said: "I dare not."

Yu Wenzhen smiled slightly, turned and left.

Shang Ruyi kept standing there, watching his back gradually merge into the deep night.
