Zhang Qingjiu walked quickly. After leaving the palace, he only returned to his home and told Chu Feng that he was going on a long trip. He also wrote a letter to Yunque to send to the Prince's Mansion, and then quietly took the troops Chu Wei sent to him.
Out of Shangjing City.
By the time Chu Lan received Zhang Qingjiu's letter and learned of the matter, it had already been three hours since she left home.
Skylark looked at the prince in front of him, who had a beautiful face and an outstanding temperament, and cautiously took a step back.
Although he didn't say a word after opening the letter, his expression didn't change at all, and his eyes didn't even move at all, she couldn't ignore the sudden drop in air pressure around her...
This is the second time that she has faced the most prestigious and unparalleled Crown Prince of Great Hui State alone.
The first time was when she risked her life to explain her mistake.
It was only a few days ago, so she still clearly remembered that after she finished speaking, the prince glanced at her and responded lightly.
It's not like I came here risking my own life today, but I was almost asking for death.
Yunque sighed in his heart. He originally thought that Chu Lan would not speak anymore, but unexpectedly, he suddenly spoke.
I could only hear that voice as clear and smooth as snow, a little deeper and hoarse, "Did she have anything else to say?"
Yunque was stunned for a moment. She wanted to say something, but... her lady really didn't say anything else.
but……
"Before she left, the lady wrote two letters in total, one to His Highness, and the other to Prince Jing's Mansion." Yunque thought that if she said this, the man in front of him might feel more at ease.
And sent it to Prince Jing’s Mansion?
Chu Lan narrowed her eyes and nodded slightly, "She has not forgotten others."
I didn't forget to leave a message to the person next to me, but I didn't leave him another word.
Skylark frowned, feeling inexplicably that he had said something wrong.
"I have received the letter. Please go back and take good care of Princess Shaoqing." After a while, Chu Lan slowly turned around, and the letter in his hand was put into his arms.
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness." Yunque nodded, and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly turned around and took a deep breath, "Your Highness, my lady's trip... is there any danger?"
Chu Lan frowned slightly, looking from Yunque's worried and solemn eyes to her fingers that were clenched into fists, "No."
Yunque was startled and looked at Chu Lan intently. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time Chu Lan really looked at her. A person who has been in a high position for a long time, no matter how courteous and virtuous a corporal, should be.
attitude.
Yunque bowed heavily to Chu Lan, "Thank you, Your Highness, Prince!"
Thank you twice with different meanings.
The first sentence is to thank him for his concern.
The second sentence is to thank him for his promise.
After saying that, Yunque turned around and left the Prince's Mansion. Chu Lan looked outside the palace and stood there for half a day.
From the sun hanging high in the sky to the moon rising over the western mountains.
His gaze seemed to have seen the mansion that blocked the sky and sun, and then fell to the endless stretch outside Shangdu City...
When Feng Zhi pushed the door open and went in, Chu Lan was still standing in the hall. The sound of the door did not disturb his mind at all.
Looking at the figure in the center of the hall, Feng Zhi's eyes were filled with obvious worry, the corners of his mouth moved, and he couldn't help but said, "Your Highness, if Mr. Xiao Zhang knew that you and your majesty had obtained the imperial edict, he might not
Just left..."
His original intention was to comfort Chu Lan because he saw the content of the letter left by Zhang Qingjiu.
In just a few words, it is clear at a glance, very much like her style.
So arrogant, so fearless.
There is no shyness like a little girl's family, no timidity like a woman's.
she says:
Will you prepare the edict and wait for my return?
If this letter had not appeared in front of them on such an occasion, Feng Zhi thought he would never quarrel or quarrel with this person in his life.
However, she happened to be on such an occasion...
She knew what the so-called imperial edict was, Chu Lan knew it, and he also knew it.
Even everyone in the Prince's Mansion knew it.
But did she know that after the Yongzhou incident, His Highness went to His Majesty to ask for the imperial edict?
At this moment, the imperial edict was already in the hands of their Highnesses.
Turning his head to look at the golden nanmu box on the table, a trace of bitterness flashed in Feng Zhi's eyes.
Does she know that His Highness has already made preparations to go to the Wei Mansion early this morning, and will then leave for Yongzhou...
It wasn't what she wanted. "He prepared the edict and waited for her to come back."
But...
The imperial edict has arrived, so she can just prepare the phoenix crown and harem with peace of mind. When he comes back, it will be the joy of the prosperous age.
But, she didn't know.
Even the departure was so sudden and so deliberate.
Feng Zhi felt a bitterness spreading from his mouth, along with some indescribable grievances.
But he didn't dare to show any emotion.
Because he is afraid...
He was so uncomfortable, not to mention the Crown Prince in front of him, whose heart and eyes had been filled with hers for a long time?
Taking a deep breath, Feng Zhi turned his gaze outside the house, looked at the gradually lowering sky, and sighed deeply in his heart.
"The wind stops." Suddenly, Chu Lan called him.
"What are your orders, Your Highness?" Feng Zhi was startled and turned around.
"Prepare your horse." Chu Lan's voice didn't change at all, as if he was saying it was getting dark and it was time to rest.
"Your Highness?" Feng Zhi was startled and suddenly realized in his heart, "Your Highness, Mr. Xiao Zhang has gone far and cannot go."
"Enter the palace." Chu Lan glanced at him, took the sandalwood box on the table, stood up and walked towards His Highness.
The dark night is boundless, the white clothes are stirring, the tall back is full of determination, but it seems to be endlessly lonely...
Feng Zhi frowned, not knowing what Chu Lan meant by entering the palace, but seeing that his figure had blended into the night, he had no choice but to chase after him.
After getting on the carriage, Chu Lan suddenly frowned and looked at the box in his arms, "Go to the Wei Mansion..."
"Yes." Feng Zhi nodded.
Just when Feng Zhi was about to tell the coachman to go to the Wei Mansion, he was stopped by Chu Lan, "That's it, let's go directly to the palace."
Feng Zhi sighed and nodded towards the confused coachman.
Later, a person who stayed on duty that night said:
That night, Prince Chu Lan entered the palace overnight, and without warning, he directly resisted the study.
Then Defu closed the door and walked out.
Vaguely, His Majesty's voice seemed to be scolding, and then the Queen also came from Fengyi Palace.
No one knows what was discussed in the royal study.
The only thing everyone knew was that the prince came out of the Zhuque Gate as the morning light faded the next day.
At midnight on that day, Prince Chu Lan, who had just returned to the palace from the palace for only an hour, led a group of people from the prince's mansion and went straight to the outside of the capital city.
His Royal Highness is on horseback, holding a sword in his left hand and a black sandalwood box in his right hand...
