Chapter 44: Meeting in secret
"Nuan Nuan said and laughed, what secrets can I have, if you don't believe me, you might as well listen to my heartbeat."
Warm? Why does this call her sound weird?
There was a powerful undulation in the palm of his hand, Gu Nuan's ears turned red, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand.
Under the moonlight, Xiao Jingyi leaned against the wall, with two strands of broken hair on his forehead, fair skin, a face like a jade crown, red lips and white teeth, a pair of eyes that were extraordinarily deep, making people fall into it, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
Is it sultry in the moonlight, or is it sultry in front of you?
Gu Nuan was a little confused. He rubbed his face desperately.
Damn it! Gu Nuan, calm and calm, don't be confused by the people in front of you.
"It's so late and warm, why are you here alone?"
Gu Nuan patted his head, came to his senses, and said: "I just saw a black cat, so I followed it all the way, but who knew that it ran too fast, and this change disappeared." ”
Gu Nuan stretched out his hand and stroked with teeth and claws, and spoke in a colorful voice.
Xiao Jingyi smiled and stared at Gu Nuan in front of him.
"Since you like it, why don't you send one to you another day."
Gu Nuan shook his head and hurriedly refused: "Since Huahua's death, the Queen Mother's bedroom is not allowed to raise cats, and I just want to be fresh for a while." ”
The flowers in Gu Nuan's mouth are the Queen Mother's favorite orange cat on weekdays.
"It's not early, why don't I send Nuan Nuan back to the palace."
"It's fine."
The two walked side by side, and from time to time they exchanged two sentences.
"Here we are."
Gu Nuan looked at the palace gate not far away, suddenly smiled shyly, and whispered, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
Then he ran into the palace gate at a fast speed, looking at Gu Nuan's back, Xiao Jingyi was a little distracted.
Entering the house, Green Yi was tidying up the bookcase.
Gu Nuan touched her head, did she forget to ask something just now?
Forget it, don't want to.
"Your Highness, that child."
The man appeared behind Xiao Jingyi like a ghost.
"Don't hurt her."
"By the way, the prince was sent to Qingquan Temple for further study, and I found a few people to spread the news."
"Yes."
Xiao Jingyi sneered, there is a good show to watch now!
After the crown prince left, the palace was indeed a lot more peaceful, and the other princes did not dare to trouble Gu Nuan and Xiao Jingyi.
Kiyosenji Temple.
The carriage traveled for a day and a night.
"Your Highness, please get out of the car."
Shi Fei jumped out of the carriage, set up the bench, and then lifted the curtain, Xiao Jingyi opened his eyes, the bumps along the way made him physically and mentally exhausted, and slowly got up and got out of the car.
A tingling sensation hit his leg, he frowned, and looked up, the scene in front of him made him a little dissatisfied.
On the long stone steps, several monks are sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the door.
The carriage drove away.
A little monk ran out of the temple, about twelve or thirteen years old, with a bald head, bowed deeply to the two, then stepped aside, stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Xuankong, please come with me." ”
Xuankong stepped on the stone steps, and Shi Fei helped Xiao Jingheng to follow.
Entering the temple, an elderly monk, with a gray beard and a staff, had been waiting for a long time.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince, my law is called Sanzang."
"I've seen the master."
The old monk nodded, and summoned the Xuankong on the side,
"The old body has inconvenient legs and feet, and Xuankong will do it for him."
"Please, both."
Xuankong led the two of them towards the backyard of the temple.
This is where the monks live on weekdays.
Xuankong pushed open a door, pointed to the inside of the room, and said, "This is where the two of you live. ”
Xiao Jingheng locked his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and nose, his eyes were full of disgust, although the house was clean, he still couldn't avoid the smell of dust.
After Xuankong left.
Shi Fei wiped the bench with his sleeve and said, "Your Highness, please take a seat." ”
Xiao Jingheng sat down slowly, the hard wooden plank panicked.
Shi Fei lifted the teapot on the table, poured a glass of water, and handed it to him.
"Your Highness has been wronged."
Noon.
Shi Fei carried the food box into the room.
"Your Highness, it's time for dinner."
Xiao Jingheng, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes and touched his stomach with his hand, he was already hungry after a long journey.
Looking at the dishes on the table, I lost my appetite in an instant.
A bowl of white rice porridge, two plates of green vegetables, and not even a trace of oil and meat have been seen.
Shi Fei handed over the chopsticks.
"Your Highness, follow the customs."
After pondering for a while, Xiao Jingheng gritted his teeth, took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of green vegetables and put it in his mouth, chewed a few bites, and his face changed.
"Phew! Is this something for people to eat? ”
"Your Highness, don't cause trouble, if this matter reaches Your Majesty's ears, I am afraid that there will be no day to return to the palace."
Xiao Jingheng's eyes sank, his hand gradually clenched, and he crushed the chopsticks.
Today's suffering, he will repay it in every possible way.
"Did you hear that the prince was sent to Qingquan Temple?"
"Don't talk about it, it's a big sin to lose your head."
"Cut, everyone knows about this street and alley, and I'm afraid that the discussion won't work?"
An inconspicuous carriage passed by slowly, and the person in the carriage slowly opened his eyes, and he naturally heard those rumors.
Pavilion.
The carriage came to a slow stop.
A middle-aged man stepped out of the carriage with the support of the little servant, his face was gloomy, his body was slightly fat, he was dressed luxuriously, and there was a jade pendant hanging on his waist, and a king character could be faintly seen on it.
In the center of the pavilion.
A woman had been waiting for a long time, wearing a black cloak, tightly wrapped, with her back to him.
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the little guy nodded, and stepped aside in a witty manner.
"You're the one who wrote to me to meet."
The woman took off her cloak and hat, turned around slowly, and gently spit out the two words.
"Wang Zhan."
"Is that you?"
Wang Zhan's face was surprised, he looked left and right, lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "The queen is not staying in the palace, why did she come out?" ”
The queen's face was pale, her lips were bloodless, her eyes were swaying, she turned around, looked at the river, and said in a somewhat choked voice: "The prince's affairs must have been known to the prince as well." ”
"I've heard a little."
Since the crown prince had an accident, he was sent by the emperor to Qingquan Temple for further study.
Everyone knew about this news after a while, and it is not known who spread it. There is a lot of talk in the market.
Yesterday, after the morning court, those old things were still running on him in private.
"Since the prince knows, then it is inconvenient for me to hide it, I came here today to ask for something, and I hope that the prince can plead in front of His Majesty and take the prince back to the palace."
"This ......"
Although he is loyal to the prince's side, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and if he goes out at this time, it will be like hitting the knife edge.
Seeing that Wang Zhan hesitated, the queen flicked her sleeves and knelt down slowly, "Please also ask the prince to help!" ”
"Queen, please get up quickly, and Weichen should do his best."
Seeing this, Wang Zhan hurriedly picked up the queen, and then said in a low voice.
"There are many people now, the queen please go back to the palace and wait for the news of the old ministers."
