The forbearant low cry of pain of the third prince in the carriage certainly did not escape Ah Liu's ears. However, he did not board the car to check what was going on, nor did he ask questions, but motioned with his eyes to the driver to catch up with him. In this regard, the Zhang Yuan coachman, who had just recognized the third prince and was accustomed to Ah Liu's style of acting, naturally didn't dare to say a word of nonsense.

No wonder Zhang Shou's carriage was quietly driven out today, it turned out that the prince quietly left the palace!

And when this person and a car converged with those generals of the Zhao Guogong Mansion, although there were two people when Ah Liu went, and when he came back, there were two people, but one of them became a coachman and a carriage, although everyone looked at each other, but since they were all single-handedly beaten by Ah Liu, they still didn't dare to ask more.

Even when Ah Liu bluntly ordered the return trip, they still did as they were told, after all, Mrs. Tai had ordered them before, and everything was up to Ah Liu today. It's just that some smart people have vaguely felt that the carriage should not be empty, I'm afraid that there are people.

In this regard, the third prince in the car breathed a sigh of relief. After the first burning stinging sensation, he felt a slight coolness, but it was not an easy task to tie a smooth silk bandage on the moving carriage, and after it was easy to tie it, he put on his pants again, but when he moved slightly, he felt the stinging pain of rubbing the fabric on the inner thigh.

But after all, this is much more comfortable than riding a horse on the return trip, so of course he can't have any complaints, after all, he has already involved a lot of people today, and he doesn't even know what the situation in the palace is at this moment. Therefore, when Ah Liu's low voice came from outside the carriage, reminding him that there was food and drink under the saddle, he didn't even have much appetite at all.

"When you return to Beijing, at least when you return to Shenzheng or even You, don't go hungry."

Hearing this, the third prince hesitated for a moment, but finally reached under the seat and probed, and finally found a small and delicate food box. This food box is only two palms the size of a palm at most, small and exquisite, but it is tall, with three layers.

When he opened the first layer, he saw a few neat silver silk rolls stacked inside, and then looked at the second layer, which was a layer of meat dates the size of a little finger, and the third layer was four grids, all of which were pickles. Seeing those common candied cakes and the like, the third prince suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and ate two rolls with meat dates and pickled vegetables at the moment, but then he felt thirsty again.

It was only then that he remembered that he had just hurried all the way and had not drunk water. He thought about it, and didn't open his mouth to ask Ah Liu, but put the food box back, and reached under the seat to dig it out. Since Ah Liu just talked about diet, it is impossible to have only snacks and no drinks.

And this time, he really took out a pouch, and inside the pouch was a small jacket, and when he untied the jacket, there was a purple clay pot wrapped in it. Probably because of the charcoal burning under the car, the purple clay pot was still a little warm, and the water in it was also warm and sweet, and the taste was not like the tea leaves he often drank, but more like Luo Han Guo and the like.

At this time, he noticed that there seemed to be a note in the bag.

After bending down and taking out the note, he opened it with one hand and looked at it, only to see that it was Juanxiu's fly-headed Xiaokai, which was obviously prepared by Zhu Ying, so he left it for him - "When I see this word, I think you have done something." After returning to the palace, remember not to take responsibility alone, otherwise the Queen Mother and I will not be able to spare you! ”

The third prince was stunned at first, and then he couldn't laugh or cry. When others encounter this matter, they want to shirk their responsibilities, but listen to Zhu Ying's meaning, if he tells his father that this is all his own idea, please don't blame others...... Zhu Ying is going to settle accounts with him with the Queen Mother!

However, this kind of natural arrogant tone, he looked at it but felt very intimate and warm, and immediately solemnly folded the note and put it in his arms, and then breathed a sigh of relief, but he took a small sip and drank some tea, and wrapped the purple clay pot in the small jacket and put it back in the purse. He didn't want to have to stop on the road to let him get down and change because he drank too much water.

The road was bumpy, and the mood was completely relaxed, and he didn't think about whether he would face an angry father after returning to the palace, and it was very warm in the carriage, and the third prince fell asleep unconsciously. When he opened his eyes in the midst of the noise, he found that he didn't know when there was a thick shearing pile on his body, and he thought that someone had covered him.

Struggling to support his body and sit up, he unbuttoned the curtains and looked out, only to see that he had already entered the capital. At this time, I am passing by the East Fourth Archway, all around is bustling with people, and the shops along the street are lined up one after another, in the season near the end of the year, it seems to be very lively. He couldn't help but lie down at the window and look at it for a while, and after a while, he was so cold that he sneezed.

Then, he saw the condescending reproachful gaze of Aliuna.

Knowing that Ah Liu blamed himself for not leaning out like this, he was easily exposed to cold, and he was easy to be recognized, the little prince quickly retracted into the car, re-fastened the curtain buttons, and then rubbed his hands and patted his head again. Not long after he walked forward again, he heard Ah Liu's voice outside: "Dong'anmen has arrived." ”

After running back and forth on the road for three hours in the winter, although these generals of the Zhao State Mansion were well-trained, they couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief when they saw that their destination had arrived. Seeing that Ah Liu stepped forward to negotiate with the guards of Dong'anmen, and then the carriage was put in without being checked, they couldn't help but glance at each other.

Who is this person in the car? If it was really an important person, they hadn't seen this car when they escorted it before!

Ah Liu, who turned back, didn't mean to explain at all, just nodded lightly and said, "It's hard work today, you guys go back first!" ”

When he had said this, he left behind the group of bewildered men, and rode straight after the carriage in front of him. Suddenly, the car stopped at Donghua Gate, and a few guards who were guarding again were much more conscientious, and after someone stepped forward to check Ah Liu's tooth plate, he greeted with a smile: "Master Zhang followed the emperor back to the palace before, and he hasn't come out yet, who is the sixth master escorting?" ”

The third prince in the car suddenly heard that his father, who had gone to the public school before, had brought Zhang Shou into the palace, and he took a light breath. Since he instructed Lu Saburo to try to let the news out after he left, he naturally thought about such a possibility. But now that this has really happened, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, and hesitated for a while before getting out of the car.

After leaving the palace before, he had already taken off the crown dress of the little eunuch in the Zhaoguo Mansion and changed into a simple civilian clothes, so when he got out of the car at this time, several guards were still a little confused at first, but after all, someone let out an exclamation after staring at him with wide eyes for a while: "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Because the third prince, the crown prince, has not been out of the palace many times now, and even if he leaves the palace, he sits in the carriage early, so many of the guards here really don't recognize him.

In the face of these saluting people, the third prince did not immediately slip away in a hurry, but stopped, bowed his head slightly, and then entered the Donghua Gate as if nothing happened. Ah Liu waited for the little prince to take a few steps forward, and then glanced at the stunned guards, and then followed unhurriedly.

As soon as the two of them left, a few guards first looked at me, and then they almost exploded - not talking about the kind of explosion, but the head exploded with a bang - I haven't heard of it before, and I haven't seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leave the palace, how the hell did this go?

If people don't go to Donghua Gate, it's okay, if they go to Donghua Gate, and look back and investigate it, can their heads be saved? You must know that guarding the palace gate is the heaviest duty, and no one can afford to be guilty of dereliction of duty.

When everyone was crying with sad faces, Ah Liu suddenly went and returned. When the man arrived in front of a few guards, he said lightly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that his affairs have nothing to do with you. It was the Queen Mother who took him out of the palace. ”

A few guards, you look at me, and when they raised their heads and wanted to ask Ah Liuyi again, they found that after someone explained like this, they actually walked away. Although they couldn't figure out the details for a while, they thought about it for a while, if it was really the Queen Mother who took the prince out quietly in the car, they really couldn't find out, so they had to take Ah Liu's words as a life-saving straw to comfort themselves.

No one dares to think about it, if the Queen Mother doesn't admit it, will the black cauldron still have to be carried by them.

After catching up with the third prince again, Ah Liu asked softly, "Is it really okay?" ”

"Sixth brother, are you saying that you are putting the matter on the Queen Mother?"

The third prince knew that what Ah Liu asked was not that he appeared in front of people calmly, but that he confessed that the Queen Mother took him out of the palace, so he immediately laughed and said: "Originally, I also wanted to say that everything was my fault, and it had nothing to do with anyone, but when I turned around, my father wanted to ask how to get out of the palace, and I had to bring the Queen Mother in." Not to mention ......"

He didn't know if Ah Liu had seen the note in the purse on the carriage, but after hesitating for a while, he still said truthfully: "What's more, Sister Yingying specially left a note to warn me that I don't take it alone, otherwise she will come back to me to settle accounts!" ”

Regarding Zhu Ying's statement, Ah Liu, who had just been ordered by the third prince to pass a message to those guards, was not surprised at all, but felt that it was reasonable. So, he thought about it and said, "When I see the emperor and the young master in a while, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to excuse me." Although the eldest lady asked me, I also agreed to it myself. ”

The third prince was slightly stunned, but he didn't stop after all, and he didn't look back, just nodded lightly and said, "Okay, I know!" ”

This simple sentence doesn't seem to be mixed with any personal feelings, but in fact he is very grateful to these people who helped him unconditionally without reproaching him for messing around. No one knows if his father will tolerate his willfulness as before, and no one knows if his father will be angry again.

Knowing that since his father had gone to Ciqing Palace, he would definitely be there at this moment and would not return to Qianqing Palace, so he naturally rushed there directly, as for the surprised gaze when he saluted when he met some officials along the way, he just didn't see it.

When the third prince finally saw Ciqing Palace, he saw a figure rushing over, it was Chen Yongshou, who had been waiting here with the emperor for a long time. Seeing the young Royal Highness the Crown Prince appear in front of him with all his beards and tails, the Qianqing Palace steward was simply relieved, and he hurriedly led people inside without even bothering to salute.

"My Highness the Crown Prince, you're finally back! The emperor waited in Ciqing Palace, accompanied by Master Zhang, no one saw anyone, didn't listen to anything, and didn't let people go to the Queen Mother to investigate...... If you don't come back, Master Zhang will die in a hurry! ”

Seeing that the third prince's expression really changed, and then rushed in with the wind under his feet, Chen Yongshou took a step behind, but he quickly wiped a handful of sweat beads that should not appear on his forehead in this winter, and then suddenly noticed that a hot gaze fell on his face. He turned his head sideways in astonishment, but found that the person who was staring at him with blazing eyes was not Ah Liu?

He was slightly stunned, and then he heard the young man's faint voice: "The young master is really in a hurry?" ”

Chen Yongshou's face was full of unnaturalness. In fact, the emperor sat and waited there without eating or drinking, but Zhang Shou seemed very carefree, and even checked the homework of the third prince with the assistance of Lu Sanlang, and then read the book with great interest in the place where the prince was studying-after all, this is also equivalent to a small library, and Zhang Shou ate most of the refreshments that the emperor did not eat.

But Ah Liu has to pursue this for what, isn't he trying to emphasize the seriousness of the matter?

Knowing that Ah Liu was not easy to fool, he could only lower his voice and said: "Little Sixth Brother, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will still be stubborn, and turning around will anger the emperor and affect Master Zhang." Knowing that Master Zhang is also in a hurry, he may ......"

Ah Liu didn't wait for Chen Yongshou to finish speaking, and quickly chased after him. Instead of listening to people talking nonsense here, he should follow up quickly in case something happens! However, his footsteps were extremely fast, and he saw that the third prince had directly slammed into the curtain of the door, and he had already grasped the curtain with one hand, but when he squinted his eyes, he saw the scene clearly through the gap in the curtain, but suddenly stopped urgently.

As a result, Chen Yongshou, who was lagging behind, was unable to close the momentum and almost hit him in the back. Fortunately, Ah Liu reflexively fished him, and the poor Qianqing Palace steward did not fall. However, when he was dragged to the side by Ah Liu, he was still a little dazed.

"Don't talk." Ah Liuyan spit out three words concisely, and then pricked up his ears.

Just now, he saw that the emperor was standing in the center, facing the third prince, and Zhang Shou was standing two steps behind the emperor, as if sensing that he was going to follow, and shook his head lightly at that moment. Therefore, he stopped abruptly, and even pulled Chen Yongshou, but he was a little uneasy after all.

At this time, he heard the emperor's voice coming from inside: "San Lang, do you have a good time leaving the palace without me?" ”
