Chapter 099: Go pick her up personally(1/2)
Chapter 099: Go pick her up in person, "Fourth Brother."
Huangfu Yi, who had just walked out of the hall, heard a shout from behind him. He couldn't help but stop, turned around and looked around, and saw Huangfu Yu walking towards him quickly.
When Huangfu Yu walked in front of him, Huangfu Yi walked out with him and said as he walked: "Do you have something to say to me?"
Huangfu Yu frowned slightly with thick black eyebrows, and there was a look of worry on his resolute face. He leaned slightly towards Huangfu Yi and lowered his voice and said: "Fourth brother, didn't the fourth sister-in-law run away from home and go back to her parents' home?"
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and Huangfu Yi swallowed speechlessly. He couldn't help but cursed in his heart, why did everyone know that Ling Ruoyao ran away from home and returned to her parents' home?
In his memory, he automatically ignored what he said to Ling Ruoyao when he took her to the roof that day.
He only knew that Ling Ruoyao fell from the roof and injured her leg, but he consciously blamed it on her own carelessness, completely forgetting that it was him who caused her to fall from the roof.
There was always a calm look on Wuzhu's handsome face. Huangfu Yi curled his lips and raised a charming smile: "She just returned to her parents' home temporarily, not ran away from home."
"Is there any difference?" Huangfu Yu said without thinking much, "Anyway, she just went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for such a long time." Shen Huang said.
The twitching corners of his mouth could no longer express his mood at this time. Huangfu Yi only felt that the corners of his eyes also twitched twice. The smile at the corners of his mouth also seemed a little stiff.
"What on earth do you want to say?" Huangfu Yi lowered his voice and frowned slightly, saying in a low voice.
Seeing that he was a little unhappy, Huangfu Yu realized that he had said too much. He laughed twice and went straight to the point and said: "Father said that the fourth sister-in-law must attend the hunting in the paddock, and the fourth brother plans to personally
Are you going to take her back home?"
He couldn't bear to ask him to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person to pick her back up. If he really came to pick her up in person this time, he was sure that Ling Ruoyao, a woman like him, would kick her nose in the face and ride on her directly.
to his head.
Without thinking much, he said decisively: "I won't go."
After being slightly stunned, Huangfu Yu didn't expect that he would answer so simply, and he actually didn't know how to continue the conversation.
"But, my father has already decreed that the fourth sister-in-law must be present." Huangfu Yu said still worried.
"In short, I will not pick her back." Huangfu Yi's attitude was also very firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
Ling Ruoyao's attendance at the paddock hunting does not seem to have much connection with him taking her back to the palace, right? Even if she does not return to the palace, she can still attend the paddock hunting.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea, and turned around to search around. He didn't stop until he saw that slightly older figure, but still walking steadily.
Without continuing to talk to Huangfu Yu, he walked straight towards Ling Yan who was not far away. Huangfu Yu was stunned and didn't understand what he was going to do, so he quickly followed him.
"Prime Minister, please stay." Huangfu shouted as he walked quickly towards Ling Yan.
Ling Yan, who was originally filled with melancholy and immersed himself in walking forward, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard a shout from behind him. After a while, he turned around and looked at Huangfu Yi, who was walking towards him.
When Huangfu Yi and Huangfu Yu walked in front of him, Ling Yan cupped his hands, lowered his head and said, "I have met the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince."
Waving his hand slightly, Huangfu Yi raised his eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, there is no need to be polite. I have something on my mind, and I would like to trouble Your Majesty the Prime Minister."
There was a look of confusion on the old but still majestic face. Ling Yan raised his head slightly and glanced at him before saying, "Fourth Prince, please speak."
After raising his lips, Huangfu Yi told Ling Yan what he was thinking.
After listening to his words, Ling Yan still had a puzzled expression and seemed to be a little hesitant, but in the end he said respectfully: "Fourth Prince, please rest assured, I will do my best."
"In that case, I would like to thank you, Prime Minister."
After Ling Yan left, Huangfu Yu withdrew his gaze from Ling Yan, turned to look at Huangfu Yi beside him, and asked with some uneasiness: "Fourth brother, is this okay?"
"Why not?" Huangfu Yi raised Yingting's eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "As long as the results are the same, that's all, right?"
Seeing that Huangfu Yu was still frowning and looking worried, Huangfu Yi patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Why are you more worried than me? Well, don't worry. Let's go."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked along the stone steps towards the bottom of the stone steps.
Sighing helplessly, Huangfu Yu couldn't help but shook his head. In the end, he said nothing and followed Huangfu Yi's pace.
***
Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After lying in bed for several days, Ling Ruoyao felt that her whole body was about to swell. If she didn't move her muscles and bones, she was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to walk.
Fortunately, although the medicine prescribed by the doctor was a bit unpleasant to drink, the effect was very good. She was able to get out of bed and move around. However, she was not allowed to exercise too strenuously, and her legs were not allowed to be injured again, otherwise, there would be
It may be completely destroyed.
After she could get out of bed and walk around, she couldn't wait to call Caizhi and let her support her and go out for a walk.
With Caizhi's support, she walked out of her yard and walked along the winding bluestone path towards the front yard.
She hadn't left the house for several days, and now she was walking in the garden. Everything around her was so fresh to her, like a new world.
All the way to the front yard, she just walked through the stone arch door and saw Ling Qinglian walking towards her. However, Ling Qinglian did not see her. She kept her head lowered and strode forward, as if she was thinking about something.
generally.
Frowning her delicate eyebrows slightly, Ling Ruoyao hesitated for a moment and called out to him: "Brother, are you out?".
Ling Qinglian, who had been walking with her head down, finally came to her senses and looked up at her. The thoughtful look on her handsome face had long since disappeared, replaced by her usual gentle smile.
He quickly came to her and said worriedly: "Why did you come out? Didn't the doctor ask you to lie down on the bed?"
Although she knew that he was caring about her, Ling Ruoyao couldn't help but curl her lips and complained: "I have been lying in bed for several days. If I don't get out of bed and move around, my legs will really become useless."
Suddenly she couldn't help but laugh. Ling Qinglian didn't criticize her harshly anymore, but took Caizhi's hand from hers and helped her move forward.
"Where are you going?"
Looking at her feet, Ling Ruoyao replied casually: "I was just taking a walk. It's you, where were you just now?"
Always looking calm and easy-going, Ling Qinglian smiled lightly and said loudly: "I just went out for a trip, nothing happened."
Since he said it was okay, she stopped asking. The two of them walked forward in silence until they reached the front hall, and Ling Qinglian told her to sit down and rest for a while.
Sitting on a chair in the hall, Ling Ruoyao turned to look at the majestic lacquered red door, but suddenly she saw a familiar figure walking in from the outside.
"Dad is back." He said to Ling Qinglian next to him. Ling Ruoyao tried to stand up, but her leg, which was injured by the fall, trembled and she almost fell back on the chair.
In order not to worry others, she resisted the sudden pain in her leg, walked to the door of the hall, and together with Ling Qinglian, welcomed Ling Yan in.
Walking into the hall, Ling Yan went straight to the top seat and sat down. He let out an almost inaudible sigh, and then raised his head to look at the two people standing beside him.
Waving his hands, he said in a low voice: "You two sit down, I have something to say as a father."
Seeing that his expression was very serious, Ling Ruoyao and Ling Qinglian couldn't help but become serious. They looked at each other with a blank expression on their faces.
After the two of them sat down, Ling Yan spoke up again: "In two days, it will be the day of hunting in the paddock. This morning, the emperor said personally that you two must also participate in this paddock."
hunting."
His words made the two of them even more confused and confused, and the confusion on their faces became even stronger.
Looking at each other with Ling Qinglian, Ling Ruoyao asked in disbelief: "My eldest brother and I must also participate? Why is this? Isn't paddock hunting a royal matter?"
Although she did not fully understand the events in this strange time and space, she had heard from Cai Zhi that every hunting in the paddock was always carried out by the emperor and several princes.
When talking about this, Cai Zhi had a look of fascination on her face, talking about which prince's archery skills were so good and which prince's riding skills were so superb.
When Caizhi told her this, she asked her disapprovingly: "Have you seen it with your own eyes?"
The result can be imagined. It is impossible to see that girl Caizhi with one's own eyes. She just heard about it.
But one thing is absolutely true, hunting in the paddocks is a royal matter and has nothing to do with the subjects.
But this time, not only Ling Qinglian had to participate in the hunt in the paddock, but even she, a prostitute, had to participate. It was really strange.
As if anticipating their reactions, Ling Yan briefly told them what happened in the morning.
After listening to Ling Yan's story, Ling Ruoyao immediately gritted her teeth, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed through her clear eyes.
This third prince, Huang Fuxi, is really persistent. He has not given up his revenge even though he failed to get revenge. He actually proposed to mention her and made her have to participate.
And she still participated as the fourth princess.
Doesn't this mean that she will go hunting in the paddock with Huangfu Yi, that perverted man with cut sleeves?
No, she doesn't believe this is true.
"Ruoyao, the emperor has named you to participate in this paddock hunting. You'd better go back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion early and prepare with the prince."
Ling Ruoyao, who was still hypnotizing herself at first, completely woke up after hearing Ling Yan's words.
Want her to take the initiative to go back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion? Is it possible?
If she takes the initiative to go back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion this time, she will definitely be looked down upon by that man Huangfu Yi and bullied by him.
She finally made up her mind to resist him to the end, but she couldn't give in so easily.
Suppressing the strong dissatisfaction in her heart, she twitched the corner of her mouth, raised an awkward smile, and said with a sneer: "Dad, can I not go? You see, my leg injury is not healed yet.
I can just barely get out of bed and walk around, but the doctor said that I should not move around more until I recover, let alone strenuous activities. If anything happens, my leg will be useless."
She is currently suffering from an injury, so she will be treated specially under special circumstances.
But who would have expected that Ling Yan's attitude was also very resolute, as if he was determined to drive her back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
I saw him with a calm, slightly old face, looking at her seriously, and said without refutation: "This is the emperor's decree, do you want to resist it?"
Resist the decree?
How can she be considered as resisting the imperial edict? It is said that the law is nothing more than human kindness. Besides, the emperor did not order anyone to send an imperial edict to the palace and require her to participate. Everything can be discussed.
To be continued...
