Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

Chapter 182: Leaving Beijing to find someone's stately and magnificent mansion, a house stands quietly in the yard, surrounded by tranquility, no one dares to break the quiet atmosphere at this moment.

There was no one in the spacious yard, only withered and yellow fallen leaves were left, which fell lightly and steadily on the clean stone road.

Looking into the room through the half-open window, I saw only a tall and slender figure standing behind the desk, holding a brush in his broad and powerful right hand, concentrating on practicing calligraphy.

The perfect side face was extraordinarily sharp-edged, as deep and clear as a chisel carved by a knife.The jet-black hair, like splashed ink, was docilely scattered on the back, but there were still strands of hair, which slipped mischievously over the shoulders and fell on the chest.

Writing like a god, Huangfu Yi is holding the brush and writing with concentration.

I saw a big word "Jing" written on the rice paper spread on the desk.

He needs to be quiet, calm, and not to think about that woman.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do it at all.

Suddenly, outside the closed door, there was a hasty knock on the door, breaking the tranquility of the room at this time.

Frowning in displeasure, Huangfu Yi did not put down the brush, but said aloud: "Come in."

There was only a creaking sound of the door opening, followed by a tall and tall figure walking into the room with big strides, walking straight in front of Huangfu Yi.

Stopping in his tracks, Ye Yuan slightly raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his head again, and said respectfully in a low voice, "My lord, your subordinate is back."

"Is there any news?" Huangfu Yi asked casually without looking up at him as he was still only focused on writing.

"Go back to the lord." Ye Yuan's voice sank a bit, "This subordinate went to Shenyutang again, but still haven't found any news about the jade pendant."

"Is there still no news?" Stopping writing, Huangfu Yi stared at the big and powerful characters, and murmured, "Could it be that the rumors back then were false? The loss of the jade pendant has nothing to do with Shenyutang at all?"

"If it has nothing to do with Shenyutang, then why did the token of Shenyutang and Shen Wuying's handwritten message be left where the jade pendant was placed?" Ye Yuan also frowned and said thoughtfully.

Putting down the brush in his hand, Huangfu Yi slowly walked to the window with his hands behind his back, stood with his back to Ye Yuan, cast his gaze out of the window, and thought secretly.

It was more than ten years ago that the jade pendant was lost. At that time, he was only a child of a few years old, and his memory was not very clear.

He just remembered that he had heard that when the jade pendant was lost, in the box where it was placed, there was a token of Shenyutang and a message written by Shen Wuying.

But he didn't see the token and note with his own eyes. Now that he thinks about it, maybe it really has nothing to do with Shenyutang. Otherwise, why did Yeyuan go to inquire several times, but didn't get any news?

However, if the loss of the jade pendant has nothing to do with Shenyutang, then where should they start looking for it?The sky and the earth are so big, how easy is it to find a jade pendant?

"Regardless of whether the loss of the jade pendant is related to Shenyutang or not, Shenyutang is the only clue, so don't take it lightly." Frowning tightly, Huangfu Yi said in a deep voice, but he was not completely sure in his heart.

Ye Yuan nodded in response, but suddenly seemed a little hesitant, opened his mouth, and said after a while, "This subordinate went to Shenyutang, although he didn't find out the whereabouts of Yupei, but he saw someone."

After hearing his words, Huangfu Yi couldn't help being stunned for a moment, a thought popped up in his mind, and even he himself was frightened by this thought.

With a serious expression on his face, he slightly turned his head to look at Ye Yuan, and asked in a low voice, "Who did you see?"

Although he has worked hard to make his voice sound normal, there is still a touch of eagerness and anxiety that cannot be ignored.

Ye Yuan's face also became serious, he lowered his head, pursed his lips and said: "This subordinate met Miss Ling Er in Shenyutang."

It was really as he had guessed, it was really that woman Ling Ruoyao.

It's been a while since she left, but he hasn't seen her whereabouts all this time, but he never thought that this time, by mistake, he let him know of her whereabouts.

only……

"Why is she in Shenyu Hall?" Huangfu Yi turned to look at Ye Yuan, his brows were frowned, and he asked in a cold voice.

Didn't Ling Ruoyao run away from home?How could it appear in the Divine Palace?Shenyutang is a sect in the world, and she has nothing to do with her, but she really appeared in Shenyutang.

"My subordinates don't know, but at the back mountain of Shenyutang, I met Miss Ling Er, and also met another...unknown man." Ye Yuan said, his voice became deeper and deeper.

After finishing speaking, he cautiously raised his head to look at Huangfu Yi, sizing up his expression.

Sure enough, after hearing that there was another man he didn't know, Huangfu Yi's complexion suddenly became ugly and gloomy, his complexion was particularly gloomy and gloomy, one could tell that he was in a bad mood.

"A man I don't know?" Raising his eyebrows, Huangfu Yi snorted coldly, and said slowly, "It seems that this woman is doing well."

Although his words were calm, there was strong anger and cruelty.

Ye Yuan couldn't help but his heart sank, he swallowed quietly, and quickly said again: "However, it seems that the relationship between Miss Ling and that man is not good. Because the subordinates are far away, It is not clear what the two of them said, but Miss Ling's complexion has not been very good."

"Okay, you don't have to explain it for her." Waving his hand, Huangfu Yi interrupted Ye Yuan, "After I ask her personally, it will be clear."

"My lord is going to..." Ye Yuan was a little surprised, and looked up at him, but didn't speak.

It's just because Huangfu Yi has already taken the first step and said: "This king will personally go and capture that woman back!"

He clearly remembered the last words that woman Ling Ruoyao said when she left the capital - "If you have the ability, you can catch me back without sending anyone to follow me."

He tolerated her leaving for so many days because the emperor forbade him to leave the capital, and he didn't know where she was.

But at this moment, he already knew where she was, if he didn't rush to catch her back, in case she left Shenyutang, he didn't know where to look for her.

He didn't send anyone to follow her, it was just a coincidence that Ye Yuan saw her and told him.

"My lord, didn't the emperor forbid you to leave the capital?" Ye Yuan said aloud, with a bit of worry in his tone.

After waving his hand, Huangfu Yi raised his beautiful thin lips, and said in a teasing tone: "Why would the emperor care about me? In the eyes of the emperor, isn't this king always a useless person?"

But Ye Yuan still heard the sourness and unwillingness in his words, looked at him, and couldn't help but became more worried.

"You go and prepare the horses immediately, the king is leaving now." Huangfu Yi looked at him and ordered aloud.

He found himself very excited, as if he couldn't wait any longer, wishing he could fly to Shenyutang immediately and find that woman.

Not daring to be negligent, Ye Yuan immediately took orders to prepare the horses.

After taking two deep breaths in succession, Huangfu Yi took a step after sorting out his excitement, and walked quickly towards the gate of the front yard.But on the way, he turned to his room.

All the way to the gate of the palace, Ye Yuan had already prepared the horses, but there were only two horses.

Walking in front of Ye Yuan, Huangfu Yi took the rein in his hand, and ordered: "You don't have to go with me. I go alone. You stay in the mansion and pay attention to the movement in the capital."

"My lord..." Ye Yuan looked a little embarrassed, looking at him pleadingly.

"You don't need to say more, this king has already made a decision." He waved his hand to stop Ye Yuan's next words, Huangfu Yi looked at him seriously, his tone was firm and could not be refuted.

Knowing that he would not change his mind, Ye Yuan could only nod in agreement, watching him ride away on horseback.

It wasn't until Huangfu Yi's figure was no longer visible from afar that Ye Yuan looked away, handed his horse to the gatekeeper's servant, and walked towards the mansion by himself.

But I didn't want to, just stepped into the gate, and met Yao Qingru who came out of the yard.

Concentrating on his expression, he walked up to Yao Qingru, bowed his hands to her, and saluted, "I've seen Concubine Yao."

After waving his hands, Yao Qingru looked calm and said casually, "Just now, I seem to have seen the prince leave the mansion. I don't know, where is the prince going?"

There was no change in the expression on the handsome face, it was always a stern and serious expression, Ye Yuan lowered his eyelids, and said without emotion: "The subordinates don't know where the prince is going, is the matter of the prince just random?" Did you inquire?"

With just one sentence, Yao Qingru was choked to the point of being speechless.

She looked a little embarrassed, she sneered twice, looked away, and said with a smile: "I was just asking casually, how could I inquire about the prince's affairs? You have been serving the prince all the time, so you should go up The heart is."

"Don't worry about Concubine Yao, I will do my best for the prince's affairs." Ye Yuan cupped his hands again and said, "If Concubine Yao has no other orders, this subordinate will leave first."

"Go ahead and get busy." With a wave of his hand, Yao Qingru dismissed him.

After Ye Yuan bypassed her and left directly, she turned around and looked at him who left, but there was a cold smile on his beautiful face.

This Ye Yuan has always been ignorant of good and evil. She talked nicely to him, but he dared to be so indifferent to her.He has been by Wang Ye's side all the time, will he not know where Wang Ye is going and what he is going to do?

With a cold snort, she turned her head and glanced at the gate of the palace again, then walked straight towards her yard.

Even if Ye Yuan didn't say anything, she could still guess.

What else can make Wang Ye so interested, except for that woman Ling Ruoyao?

It's just that she didn't expect that Ling Ruoyao, who had left the palace, could still provoke the prince, and even let the prince go looking for her alone.

After she left the side courtyard, she knew all the things she missed when she was in the side courtyard, and she also knew about Ling Ruoyao's departure from the capital.

Although there is Su Yuhe besides her in this palace, but she doesn't take Su Yuhe seriously, she is not afraid at all, what she fears the most is Ling Ruoyao.

All the hardships she suffered in the side courtyard were all thanks to Ling Ruoyao. If she returned to the palace and continued to be a princess, she would not tolerate it even more!

It's a pity that she doesn't even know where the prince has gone, let alone prevent the prince from bringing that woman Ling Ruoyao back.

On the way back to her own yard, Yao Qingru suddenly stopped in her tracks, with a treacherous smile on her lips, she turned her head and said to the maid who was following her, "It seems that I haven't entered the palace for a long time to pay my respects to Concubine Zhen. Already, let’s go to the palace today to greet Concubine Zhen. You go and prepare the carriage.”

The servant girl took the order and quickly retreated.

With a sneer, Yao Qingru gritted her teeth with hatred, and said to herself: "My lord, my concubine can't stop you, but the emperor can always stop you, right? If the emperor knows that you have left the capital, will he call you back immediately?" ?”

A ferocious expression appeared on her beautiful face.

***

Yao Qingru's plan was to enter the palace to pay respects to Concubine Zhen, and to reveal to Concubine Zhen that Huangfu Yi had left the capital, hoping to tell the emperor through Concubine Zhen's mouth.

But unfortunately, her calculation was wrong.

She forgot that concubine Zhen didn't see the emperor very often, if she waited until concubine Zhen saw the emperor and told him about Huangfu Yi's departure from the capital, Huangfu Yi might have already returned to the capital.

However, even though things did not go according to her plan, the final result was the same, and it could be regarded as the same goal by different routes.

Concubine Zhen didn't tell the emperor about Huangfu Yi's departure from Beijing, but she told Huangfu Xuan.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Looking at Concubine Zhen with a heavy face in front of her, Huangfu Xuan raised the corners of her lips and said, "I will definitely tell my father to call my fourth son back to Beijing, and my empress doesn't have to worry about my father. Four's safety."

However, when he said this, a trace of treachery flashed in the depths of his eyes, even with a ruthless expression.

Concubine Zhen nodded, but she couldn't see much worry on her face, on the contrary, she seemed very disapproving: "Just figure it out."

After bidding farewell to Concubine Zhen, Huangfuxuan walked straight towards the emperor's imperial study.

Every day at this time, the emperor would correct the memorials in the imperial study.

All the way to the imperial study room, after obtaining the emperor's permission, Huangfuxuan stepped into the hall.

Walking up to the emperor who was burying the first batch of revised memorials, Huangfuxuan saluted respectfully: "I pay my respects to my father."

"Get up." Without looking up at him, the emperor was still concentrating on correcting the memorial, but he looked much weaker, his hair was paler than before, and he would pant heavily when speaking.

As he was getting older, his body became weaker and weaker.

Seeing his appearance, Huangfuxuan couldn't help but frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Father, let's rest for a while. Although the affairs of the previous dynasty are important, your body is more important, Father."

The emperor was still only focused on approving the memorial, but he waved his hand at him, signaling him not to be naughty: "Tell me, why did you come to see me?"

"My son just entered the palace to pay respects to my father." Huangfuxuan bowed his hands slightly and said, "Seeing how tired my father is, my son blamed himself very much for not being able to take care of my father."

"It's enough if you have the heart." The emperor said with a sigh, and finally raised his head to look at him, "You brothers, you are the most caring, and you will come to the palace to pay my respects almost every day."

"Father is too well-reputed, and sons and servants are filial to fathers and emperors, that's what sons and ministers should do." Huangfuxuan put on a modest look, but there was a sly smile on his lips, "my son and the brothers In comparison, it's not worth mentioning at all. The eldest brother has both morality and ability, the third child has a straightforward personality, the fourth child is calm and resourceful, and the sixth child is pure in nature. But the sons and ministers are not outstanding."

"You're going to praise them all to the sky!" The emperor waved his hands and said with a soft sigh, "You are all sons of Zhen, with fleshy palms and backs, but why isn't everyone doing so well? "

"Father, you don't have to worry." Huangfuxuan said hastily, "My son will definitely work hard with a few brothers to relieve father's worries. No, the fourth child will leave Beijing to handle business."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then asked aloud: "What did you say? The fourth child has left Beijing?"

Huangfu Xuan sneered twice, dodging his gaze a little bit, and said hesitantly: "I just heard about it, I'm not sure, maybe it's just someone spreading rumors, the fourth child is in the mansion."

"Hmph, tell me, who made the rumor?"

"My son is just hearsay." Huangfuxuan hurriedly knelt on the ground with a thud, and said anxiously, "I know that I should not listen to rumors and make my father unhappy, so I am willing to be punished."

Looking at Huangfuxuan who was kneeling on the ground, the emperor was silent for a moment before he said: "Get up now. You are not hearing, maybe the fourth brother has really left Beijing."

However, he still remembered that a few days ago, Huangfu Yi entered the palace and asked him to allow him to leave the capital, but he categorically rejected it.

But he never thought that today he would leave the capital without saying a word.

"Father, don't blame the fourth brother." After standing up, Huangfuxuan quietly looked at the emperor's expression, and said in a low voice, "Thinking about it, the fourth brother also left Beijing because he was worried about the war in the border town. Perhaps, he was Maybe you went to the border town?"

"To the border town?" The emperor became even more displeased, and his voice became even colder.

There was constant fighting in the border town, the two countries were at war, Huangfu Yi actually went to the border town privately, is that okay?

Anger was lingering around him, the emperor was silent, his face was extremely ugly, he thought to himself, why did Huangfu Yi go to the border town?

Should he immediately send someone to catch him back, or wait and see what tricks he is going to play?

After pondering for a while, he finally said: "Since you also said that he took the initiative to go to the border town because he was worried about the war in the border town. His loyalty is commendable, so I won't punish him, just let him go."

After some contemplation, the emperor still decided not to capture Huangfuyi for the time being, and to wait and see what happened before making a decision.

He has been vigilant against this sleeping beast. Is this beast about to wake up?But as a hunter, even if the beast wakes up, so what?

"If there is nothing else, you can just step back." Putting away his thoughts, the emperor sent Huangfu Xuan away with a voice.

After walking out of the imperial study room, Huangfuxuan's expression was not good, and he even looked resentful.

He originally thought that the emperor would send someone to capture Huangfu Yi and punish him severely, but he didn't expect that the emperor would let him go and mess around.

However, once this person leaves the capital, some things will be out of control. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Who cares so much?

***

Because Shen Wuying secretly went to the back mountain of Shenyutang that day, and was found out by Shen Wuying, Ling Ruoyao was severely scolded by him, and he warned her not to enter the back mountain for half a step.

Ever since she learned about the past events between Shen Wuying and her mother whom she had never met, her view of Shen Wuying has also changed, and she regards him as her elder from the bottom of her heart, so, Facing Shen Wuying's scolding, she didn't feel displeased either.

As for this, the daughter of her savior, Shen Wuying also sincerely regards her as a family member, as a junior, otherwise, she would not be so angry when she learned that she had gone to Houshan.

Just because of the steep terrain of the back mountain, not only some wild beasts will appear, but sometimes some thieves or enemies of other gangs will come to make trouble.

Although in the past 20 years, Shenyutang's status in Jianghu and people's views on Shenyutang have greatly changed, but this does not mean that Shenyutang has no enemies.

Even the disciples of Shenyutang seldom enter the back mountain, which is the reason why Shen Wuying did not allow Ling Ruoyao to enter the back mountain.

And that day, the two master and servant entered the back mountain and returned safely. It can only be considered that the two of them were lucky and did not encounter any danger.

But there is no guarantee that the next time will be so lucky.

After being scolded by Shen Wuying that day, Ling Ruoyao became more at ease, staying in the house obediently, occasionally going out for a stroll in the yard, and did not think about leaving Shenmidang, continuing to visit mountains and rivers, and even more I didn't want to go to the back mountain again.

On this day, Ling Ruoyao, accompanied by Cai Zhi, left the house and wandered aimlessly along the winding corridor, from the back of the villa to the front, where the disciples practiced martial arts.

Seeing all the disciples practicing martial arts in high spirits, the master and servant also felt that their blood was boiling, and they wished to stretch their fists and feet.

It's a pity that both of them are ordinary people with no kung fu foundation.

Sitting in front of a nearby stone table, Ling Ruoyao propped her chin with her hands, looked at those disciples practicing martial arts with a serious face, and began to imagine in her mind, if she also had a strong martial arts, how great would it be?

Travel all over the world, no one is afraid.

Bandits and bandits?Stand aside, she can knock them down with one finger!

People in the martial arts?No problem, with a wave of her hand, she will make them kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy!

Perverted man with broken sleeves?It's easy to say, she can drown him with a sip of saliva!

Ling Ruoyao, who was immersed in her own fantasy, suddenly froze for a moment, and there was a look of surprise on her fair and pretty face.

How could I suddenly think of that perverted man with broken sleeves, Huangfu Yi?Still thinking about drowning him with a sip of saliva.

It's because she's been too bored these few days, so she can think wildly, looking for abuse if she has nothing to do?

Shaking her head quickly, she even patted her own cheek, trying hard to get rid of the stinky face that was too familiar in her mind.

It's a pity that no matter how hard she tried, that handsome and resolute face still lingered in her mind.

Even because of her efforts to get rid of it, it became more and more clear, and even changed various expressions.

She thought she was going crazy.

Standing up abruptly, she walked towards the backyard of the villa, to the house where she lived.

"Miss, where are you going?" Not understanding what was going on with her, Caizhi hurriedly asked, stood up and followed her.

Without answering her words, Ling Ruoyao just lowered her head and walked forward. On her pretty face, there was an expression of irritability and melancholy, and her delicate brows were tightly knit together.

Why did she think of Huangfu Yi?

"Miss, slow down, and be careful not to fall." Cai Zhi shouted worriedly as she quickly followed her. .

At this moment, Caizhi really wondered if she was a crow's mouth.

She just yelled, telling Ling Ruoyao to be careful not to fall.Ling Ruoyao, who was walking in front, immediately slipped and threw herself forward, almost falling to the ground.

"Miss--"

It's too late to say it's too late, just when Ling Ruoyao's nose was only a slap away from the ground, her body suddenly stopped falling.

His eyes, which had been closed tightly because of fear, slowly opened.Staring at the ground, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and patted her chest with lingering fear.

Only then did she realize that her neck seemed to be strangled by something, which made her almost out of breath.

She couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and she couldn't help but slander in her heart, she didn't fall to the ground, would she still be strangled to death?

Waving her hands hastily, she tried to stand up, trying to get rid of the force that could strangle her to death.

And the next moment, she only felt that her whole body was suddenly pulled by a strong force, and she stood up all of a sudden, and only then did she realize that there was still a person standing beside her.

Rubbing her own neck, she quickly took a few breaths, then looked at Yingxue in front of her, twitched the corners of her mouth, and said with a stiff smile: "Thank you, but next time, you can leave my clothes alone. Do you take it?"

Yingxue's beautiful face was still as cold as ice, but the corners of her mouth could not help but twitch slightly.Clearing her throat, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry. Seeing that you were about to fall to the ground, I only pulled your collar in a moment of desperation."

Hastily waved her hands, Ling Ruoyao hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay. You saved me, so I should be grateful to you."

Without saying a word, Yingxue just nodded slightly, walked around her, and left straight away.

Seeing Yingxue walking away, Ling Ruoyao couldn't help but shook her head and sighed, "Beauty is beauty, but it's a pity, it's too indifferent."

"Yes, what a pity." Caizhi also looked at Yingxue's graceful figure and shook her head.

Turning around, Ling Ruoyao couldn't help but glared at her, patted the back of her head lightly, and said angrily: "You girl, why are you pretending to be deep? Go back quickly."

After speaking, he took the lead in walking forward.

Rubbing the back of her head, Caizhi curled her lips and muttered in a low voice, "I learned from you, too."

The two returned to their own room all the way. After entering the room, Ling Ruoyao sat directly in front of the round table, picked up the teapot and poured tea.

I shook the teapot, but found that there was no water.Turning her head, she shouted at Caizhi: "Caizhi, there is no water, go boil a pot of water."

Quickly stepped forward to take the teapot, Caizhi retreated.

After Caizhi retreated, Ling Ruoyao supported her head with one hand, tilted her head, and looked at the room idly.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on the delicate hairpin placed quietly on the round table in front of her.

When she first entered the room, she was only focused on pouring water, but she didn't notice that there was a hairpin on the table, but now that she saw it, she couldn't help being shocked.

I saw this hairpin quietly placed on the table. One end of the hairpin was facing the gate of the house, while the tip was facing the back of the house, pointing directly to the direction of the back mountain.

Picking up the hairpin and checking it carefully, she was sure that she did not admit her mistake, but after confirming, she was even more shocked.

Take a seat.This hairpin clearly belonged to her, but when she left the Fourth Prince's Mansion, she deliberately kept it in the mansion and did not take it away.

It was only because she got that hairpin after she entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion. She thought that it did not belong to her, so she didn't take it away.

The reason why she recognized the hairpin at a glance was because once, she accidentally dropped the hairpin on the ground and broke a corner of the hairpin, which had a small flaw.

How could this hairpin, which was supposed to be carried in the Four Princes' Palace, appear in Shenyutang?And so accurately placed on the table in her room.

Full of doubts in her heart, she began to meditate secretly, her exquisite brows were also tightly knit into a ball, and her expression was dignified.

She put the hairpin back on the table according to the original arrangement. After looking at it carefully for a while, she suddenly picked up the hairpin, stood up abruptly, and walked out of the room.

Walking through the circuitous corridor, she avoided all the disciples of Shenyutang, and walked towards the back mountain alone.

At this moment, she had already forgotten Shen Wuying's exhortations and warnings, and she also couldn't care about how Caizhi would react if she found out that she was missing.

At this moment, she just wanted to know, what happened to this hairpin?Why did it appear in her room?Who put it in her room?

In her mind, there was a thought circling all the time, but this thought made her very shocked and unacceptable.She even hoped that it was her imagination.

Dodging all the disciples, she walked out of the back door of Shenyutang and came to the back mountain.

Walking along the rugged road, she looked around while walking, looking for any clues.

But along the way, she seemed a little disappointed.

She didn't see a single figure at all, and she didn't find any clues.

She continued to walk forward until she reached the bamboo forest on the back mountain. She suddenly stopped, her clear eyes staring straight ahead without blinking.

I saw a tall and slender figure standing about ten meters away from her. The tall figure was shrouded in the shadow of the bamboo forest, but it seemed that he was more like a dream, like a god, which made people daunting .

A wind blew, lifting the jet-black hair of the slender figure and dancing it lightly.

Ling Ruoyao just stared at that familiar figure, and the corner of her mouth raised a slight arc unconsciously...
