Zhou Ling took one last look at the inn and found that the guards guarding there had been replaced by guards from the East Palace.
He looked away, looked at the wound on his foot that was sewn up like a centipede, and said calmly: "Let's go."
See you in Beijing.
The carriage clattered, and Zhou Ling closed his eyes to rest. He wanted to be a living dead from the beginning, because his existence was like a cage, tightly trapping the East Palace.
But now, he wants to live for himself again.
I hope Wang Xiu will not forget her promise when we meet again.
…
On the first night when the prince arrived at the inn, villagers from all over the country rushed over. Because they didn't dare to get close, they looked across a hilltop and saw from a distance that they were all densely packed with people.
Lu Yunyuan and Lu Yunzhu felt fresh and went out for a walk. They were so frightened that they went back to their rooms and did not dare to come out again.
When Wang Xiu learned about it, he joked: "It will be dark soon. If there is a shadow puppet show as a cover, maybe they can watch it all night."
Later, when it got dark, the local villagers indeed invited a master of shadow puppetry. So that night, it was like a solid human-shaped wall was erected around the inn, and whispers could be heard from all directions.
The spectacular scene is like a vast river of stars flowing in the world, surrounded by stars.
Fortunately, they have five thousand elite troops stationed there, otherwise, they would not be able to sleep well.
Wang Xiu slept all day, and the eldest princess came to ask her to go to the theater. She lazily said: "If you don't want to go, can you go? I want to take a rest."
The eldest princess said: "I asked people to arrange the places. You can rest when you go."
Wang Xiu sighed.
The eldest princess held her arm and said: "It's rare in the wilderness and in the mountains and forests, so come with me to see it."
After hearing this, Wang Xiu reluctantly agreed.
It was in a relatively flat open space, but there were still small slopes around it. The local villagers moved their benches and looked forward to it one by one.
In other villages, since their identities could not be verified, they could only huddle far away on various slopes or in the woods.
But even so, it looked like a huge crowd.
Wang Xiu smiled and teased: "Is His Royal Highness afraid to come out?"
The eldest princess hummed: "It's the shadow puppet show he arranged. Do you think he won't come out?"
After finishing his words, he pointed straight ahead and said, "Look, where is it?"
Wang Xiu followed the eldest princess' gaze and saw that the prince was indeed standing in front of the shadow puppet show, looking over quietly.
For a moment, the sky and the earth seemed to darken. Wang Xiu's heart beat rapidly, thinking that it couldn't be possible.
She just said it casually today, who knows...
Oh, no, what she said casually, who told the prince?
Wang Xiu lowered her head and took a deep breath. Later, the eldest princess asked her to sit down and watch the show, and she lost her thoughts.
All she could think about was that the prince had let someone go by her side. No wonder, she said that when she woke up, she saw strange faces outside the inn.
I thought before that it was understandable to do this for the safety of the prince and the eldest princess, but now I think about it in connection with it, and I suddenly feel that it is very scary to think about it carefully.
Wang Xiulue sat for a while and then wanted to leave. She looked around and asked, "Where is Lu Yunhong?"
The eldest princess said doubtfully: "I don't know, I didn't see it since it was dark."
Wang Xiu felt strange, why didn't Lu Yunhong come to her? At this moment, the eldest princess whispered to her: "Don't tell me, the prince came here this time and helped the villagers build bridges and pave roads, and properly resettled the victims.
He has a good reputation. I estimate that when he returns to Beijing this time, the courtiers will praise him generously."
This means that the position of the prince is very stable and is almost impossible to change.
Wang Xiu nodded, but his mind was not on this matter.
The prince in the distance looked at Wang Xiu with unconcealed eyes, but there seemed to be a trace of helplessness in his deep eyes.
The eldest princess also saw it and deliberately tilted her head to talk to Wang Xiu, blocking his view.
When the prince saw this, he had no choice but to look away.
Although everyone was watching the show, they were whispering more, because seeing the current prince at such a close distance was probably the proudest moment in their lives. Everyone stretched their necks and couldn't hold back.
Want to get closer.
Half an hour later, even Wang Xiu gradually blended into the atmosphere. Suddenly, a warm voice sounded in her ears, and it was Lu Yunhong's.
"Everyone, please let me know, the kid misses his mother."
"Come on, the child's mother is in front. The one sitting with the eldest princess is my wife."
"When the child wakes up, doesn't he have to make a fuss over here?"
"Madam, the child is looking for you. He just cried."
The common people, no matter who had a son or a half in their family, expressed their understanding and made way for them one after another.
Lu Yunhong just walked up to Wang Xiu with the child in his arms, and Wang Xiu was stunned for a moment. Lu Chengxi, who was almost one year old, was babbling and trying to speak, and the saliva in front of him covered his face with saliva.
Little Doudou was all wet.
Wang Xiu quickly hugged him and coaxed him, and asked Lu Yunhong, "Where have you been just now? Why can't you find anyone?"
Lu Yunhong looked like he was angry and dared not speak, and said: "Where else could I go? I'm coaxing him to sleep in the child's room. Who knew that if I wasn't careful, I would fall asleep too."
"It was my child who kicked me awake. It was probably too dark in the room and he was frightened."
After saying that, he took the child and hugged him again. It seemed that the father was "doing his duty".
But the inn was brightly lit, and even if the lights in the room were turned off, it wouldn't be dark enough to scare the children.
Wang Xiu glared at him angrily, knowing that he said this on purpose. This man was taking the opportunity to declare his sovereignty. He was such a sinister Lu Yunhong, and he had not changed at all.
"Yeah!" Lu Yunhong exclaimed.
He found that he could hear Wang Xiu's voice again. At that moment, he heard it unexpectedly.
Wang Xiu was startled by his surprise and said angrily: "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Yunhong said without changing his expression: "I was busy holding the baby to find you, and I forgot to change the baby's diaper."
Wang Xiu: "..."
"Then what nonsense are you talking about? Go back quickly."
Because it was a child matter, the eldest princess couldn't keep her, so she had to get up and watch her and Lu Yunhong go back.
The prince, who was not far away, was watching this scene quietly. Wang Xiu held the child's little hand and moved forward. Lu Yunhong walked close to her. The couple passed through the heavily surrounded crowd and left together.
The people watching were whispering, either envious or joking, their voices rising and falling.
His eyes darkened and darkened, and he was unwilling to accept that he had the world but could never find a woman who treated him sincerely.
The eldest princess stood up and walked towards the prince.
In the eyes of ordinary people, they also have a deep love between brother and sister, just like children in ordinary people's families, who are affectionate and affectionate.
The nobles of the Tian family became close to ordinary people at this moment. This may be the closest they have ever been to the royal family in their lives. It is also something that they can be proud of for a lifetime.
But what they didn't know was that what kept the prince and five thousand elite soldiers in this small place was not just because of a sudden earthquake.
Instead, Wang Xiu wanted to stay temporarily to take care of the seriously ill mother out of danger.
The eldest princess, who knew everything, walked up to the prince and said calmly: "I've seen you. After this scene, shouldn't it be time to go back and rest?"
The prince's heart suddenly tightened, but his face remained cold and indifferent, as if what the eldest princess said was just an ordinary thing.
But only he knows...everything has changed dramatically.
