slave like jade

Chapter 131 Don't Be Weak
The carriage was stopped suddenly, Yu Ruyan was a little confused, so she was about to lift the curtain to see what was going on outside, when the copper coin whispered outside through the curtain: "Your Highness, Wangfei, that... Concubine An Fang He and the other masters of the palace greeted him at the gate of the city, and now, he is already greeted outside the car!"

Mu Lingzhi was annoyed and said angrily, "Let them go back, I don't have time to see them."

Although Yu Ruyan has come here now as Princess Heshuo of Daqi and Princess Mu Lingzhi, when she thinks about what happened in the palace before, she feels inexplicably flustered.

After all, she is not a person who is used to being a domineering person. Even though her status is much higher than theirs, she still doesn't know how to face An Lirong and the others.

However, in the next second, An Lirong's voice was heard respectfully outside the car——

"Your Highness, please forgive the rudeness of the concubine and others. The concubine was very excited when she heard that His Highness brought Princess Daqi back. She specially led the female family members of the house to welcome the princess back to the mansion outside the city. The concubine and others are here to give the princess Please be safe!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the others echoed her voice and said, "Greetings to Your Highness the Princess!"

Originally, it was a big event for Mu Ling and his party to return to the capital, and many people came to see their brave and invincible Third Highness. Hearing the sound, they all ran over, one by one covering the surrounding area, watching the excitement with the same excitement.

In the carriage, Mu Lingzhi's face was gloomy with frost.And Yu Ruyan's heart was also icy cold.

The female family members of the palace obviously heard the copper coins calling her "Princess", but they kept calling her "Princess" in front of the people in the city. In fact, they were refusing to recognize her as the princess of the palace.

Although she understood the meaning of their words, Yu Ruyan couldn't find fault with them. After all, she and Mu Lingzhi were in a relationship according to the agreement signed by the two countries, and they didn't really pay homage, and her name was also It is normal to call her a princess for a jade plate that has not yet entered the Daliang royal family.

But in this way, it is unavoidable to be criticized by the people watching the excitement——

Since the two are not yet married, why can they sit in the same chariot so intimately? Don't make people laugh, this princess of Daqi is too unreserved!

The world already looked down on the princess sent by the weak country and relatives, just like the prince held hostage in another country. Although the status is noble, it is a pity that he is in a foreign country, and he will never be treated as a real prince and princess. , often underestimated!
How could Yu Ruyan not understand the little thoughts of these women in the palace.

In the palace back then, all these women wished she would die, and the quarrel became so tense in the end, especially in the case of Gu Qing'er and the assassin. An Lirong once came to the cell in the middle of the night to hang her to death, while the others They also joined forces to make things worse, and went to Mu Lingzhi to accuse her of various crimes of colluding with the assassins, forcing Mu Lingzhi to lock her up again, successfully alienating Mu Lingzhi's trust in her, and breaking each other's hearts , the last two painful farewell!
All of this had already been sealed into the dust by Yu Ruyan, as if it had happened in her previous life, and now she heard those familiar and vicious voices again, and these grievances and resentments flooded into her mind again...

I don't know how they would describe me when I reappeared in front of them as Princess Heshuo and Princess-to-be?
The early autumn morning sun shone like gold on everyone. Yu Ruyan reached out to lift the curtain of the car but was stopped by Mu Lingzhi. He said in a deep voice, "I know what they are thinking, but they just want to spy on you. Therefore, one by one, they ran to greet you in front of everyone in Dongdu, heh, as everyone knows, you are Xiaoqing who was persecuted and bullied by them. I hope you will not be as kind-hearted as before when you return home!"

Yu Ruyan saw that he had seen the thoughts of those women outside so thoroughly, she couldn't help laughing and said: "His Highness said that he doesn't want me to forgive them, but wants to settle with them for bullying me It's an old account!"

Yu Ruyan was originally joking, but Mu Lingzhi said seriously, "You are a majestic princess, Princess Heshuo of Daqi, and you are bullied like this but keep silent, do you think it is appropriate?"

"As a human being, you can be kind, but you can't be weak."

Mu Lingzhi patted her sign language and said deeply.

Yu Ruyan was a little dazed after hearing his words, and it took a long time before she realized it, and said hesitantly: "Your Highness means to let me..."

"Don't show mercy, let alone worry about me, I will definitely stand by your side."

After speaking, Mu Lingzhi stood up and was about to go out, Yu Ruyan said, "What do you want Your Highness to do?"

"Go out and drive them back, so as not to be ashamed here!"

But Yu Ruyan stopped him, and smiled slowly: "Your Highness, they all came here from the city to pay their respects to me. If I don't show up, won't people criticize me as a princess for being too airy?" .Anyway, we will meet sooner or later, let me go out and meet them."

After finishing speaking, she got up and tidied up her dress, slowly opened the curtain of the car, and stepped off the carriage slowly.

An Lirong and the others waited outside for a long time without seeing any movement in the carriage, but the people onlookers began to discuss quietly, everyone said that the princess of Qi State was so arrogant that she even left all the wives and concubines of His Highness in the air. They didn't care about being outside for so long, and suddenly everyone was filled with righteous indignation.

But when Yu Ruyan lifted the curtain of the car and came out, the people around couldn't help but marvel——

My God, I've always heard that there are beauties in the Qi Kingdom, but I didn't expect to see them today. It's a well-deserved reputation!

Today, I will go to the palace to meet Liang Wang and the imperial concubine, so Yu Ruyan's attire is configured according to the grade of Da Qi and Princess Heshuo——

A floor-length skirt embroidered with gold silk and silver coins, with the phoenix embroidered pattern of the phoenix. The skirt is embroidered with gold and silver threads as thin as fetal hair into gorgeous begonias and ostriches, and the embroidery is adorned with thousands of real pearls. Gold and silver threads complement each other brilliantly, which is beyond words.

The sun shines on her body like golden light, and it reflects the dazzling brilliance of the gold and silver threads and the countless pearls on her body, and her face, which is as bright as a silver plate, is even more beautiful than the beauty of her body. Convincing thousands and thousands of people, a pair of rippling water eyes swept lightly, which already made the people around them lose their souls and be dumbfounded.

People in the world always love to compare, not to mention that everyone knows that Princess Daqi is going to be betrothed to His Highness the Third Highness as a princess, so after witnessing Yu Ruyan's celestial appearance, they can't help but compare her with the Third Highness's queen. The housewives made a comparison, and in this comparison, no matter their temperament or appearance, they were really far behind.

The princess of the Qi Kingdom did not know how much she surpassed them, especially her pair of sparkling eyes, which were so beautiful that everyone around her looked dumbfounded and lost their souls.

As for An Lirong and the others, from the moment Yu Ruyan lifted the curtain to reveal her true face, they all stared at her like idiots. Everyone's face had a description of hell, not only the chin, Even the eyeballs are about to fall out from the shock——

They never expected that even if they were beaten to death, they would not believe that Princess Heshuo of the Qi Kingdom, the future mistress of the palace, would be that lowly maid who was born as a military prostitute!

An Lirong rubbed her eyes vigorously, thinking that her eyes were blurred and she had misread, and when she realized that the person walking towards her was really Xiao Qing, a servant in the palace, An Lirong's whole body shook, her feet went limp, He almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he was quickly supported by Kuang Qinqin who was behind him.

Among the crowd, except for Kuang Qinqin, who seemed not too surprised by Yu Ruyan's new identity, everyone else stared dumbfounded at Yu Ruyan, who was dressed in gold and jade in front of him. Will believe that she is Daqi's Princess Heshuo.

Chen Yanfei exclaimed even more, stared blankly at Yu Ruyan, pointed at her with trembling hands, and said in horror, "You... aren't you the Xiaoqing from before? How could..."

Not seeing each other for half a year, and seeing each other again, the identities of the two parties have undergone earth-shaking changes!
The military prostitute who was bullied and humiliated by them in the past has transformed herself into standing in front of them as Princess Heshuo and as a quasi-princess. Such a difference makes An and the others feel as if they are in the face. Not only do they not want to Believe it, and be afraid to believe it.

Until this moment, Yu Ruyan stood in front of them again, with a familiar face and a familiar aura. The difference was that she was no longer dressed in a servant's attire and swallowed her anger, but was dressed in golden clothes and a jade crown, with an awe-inspiring aura.

Even if they are unwilling to accept this fact, it is in vain.

An Lirong was trembling all over, the others were also trembling, and Chen Yanfei was even more pale.

Everyone began to recall how they plotted against Yu Ruyan before they bullied her.

Ignoring their stunned stares, Yu Ruyan slowly came to the crowd, showed her face with a slight smile, and said in a cool tone: "To be honest, although this princess lived in Daliang for a while, she didn't know about Daliang's life. In the etiquette law, what kind of etiquette is there between the princess and the subjects?"

Her gaze coldly swept across the group of women standing in front of her, and she sneered in her heart——

All of them greeted her respectfully, but they stood in a daze in front of her, without even bending their waists, which was too perfunctory!

An Lirong's complexion was whiter than paper, and the others also changed their expressions.

How come they don't understand the meaning of Yu Ruyan's words. Although they know her current status, they should bow down to her, but when they think about it, she knelt down and bowed to them before. Such a change makes An Shi and the others feel a little bit can't accept-

"Plop!" In the end, under the leadership of An Lirong, even though they were unwilling, everyone knelt down on the rolling loess official road with limp legs, and prostrated themselves at Yu Ruyan's feet. He saluted her tremblingly.

The yellow sand rolled on the official road, and the dust from the passing vehicles fell on the kneeling people. These pampered masters and ladies have suffered from this, even if they want to cover their noses with a silk handkerchief, they dare not block the dust. Choked and coughed.

Knowing that Mu Lingzhi came back today, the female family members of the back house deliberately got up early one by one, dressed up brightly, and put on all the treasured dresses at the bottom of the box. The makeup on the face was covered with a layer of loess by the dust, and everyone was in a panic all of a sudden!

Yu Ruyan was not in a hurry to make them get up, she looked at the people kneeling on the ground indifferently, her gaze coldly swept over everyone's faces one by one.

Except for An Lan, the female family members of the palace came very neatly.Yu Ruyan smiled slowly, "Since we are all former acquaintances, you don't need such a big gift. Let's all get up."

After all, he didn't bother to pay attention to them any more, and turned to walk to the carriage.

Seeing that she was about to leave without saying anything, An Lirong couldn't see Mu Lingzhi, who was thinking about it day and night, in the carriage. How could this make her happy?

Back then, when he left Dongdu to go to Daqi to find Xiaoqing, he didn't even return to the gate of the house, and left without a word.

Now that they are finally looking forward to his return, all the women in this mansion want to take a good look at him to relieve the pain of lovesickness, so they ran all the way to the city gate to meet him.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, I can't wait to know, what kind of person is the Princess Daqi brought back by His Highness this time?
Ever since they heard that Mu Lingzhi was going to fight for Daqi for Princess Daqi, An Lirong and the others were both happy and anxious.

Happily, His Highness finally forgot about Xiao Qing, that lowly maidservant, and no longer put all his heart on her.What is worrying is that His Highness is willing to sacrifice his life for Da Qi's princess. It can be seen that this princess is more favored by His Highness than Xiaoqing, so he can't help feeling worried again.

The jackals are gone and the tigers and leopards are coming again!

And when they saw each other today, what they never dreamed of was that the jackal, tiger and leopard turned out to be the same person!

Thinking of Mu Lingzhi, An Lirong didn't hesitate to call out Yu Ruyan who was about to go back to the carriage, restrained the trembling in her voice, and whispered, "Dare to ask my little...princess, Your Highness... How is your Highness doing? But in..."

After all, she couldn't ask the following words. The thought of Mu Lingzhi and Yu Ruyan being together day and night, staying together and loving each other, was even more willing to risk their lives on the battlefield for her.But they were so hard to see him again, they couldn't help feeling sad.

Seeing the longing expression on her face, Yu Ruyan said slowly: "Your Highness is doing well, don't worry, you all go back, Your Highness and I will go into the palace to have an audience with the Holy Majesty and the Imperial Concubine, and we will talk to you when we have time." Gossip."

Chen Yanfei's ears were sharp, and he had heard Mu Lingzhi's voice in the carriage before, so he couldn't help shouting: "Your Highness is in the carriage, we came early in the morning to meet His Highness, please let us meet His Highness, Princess."

She said this with a lot of resentment, she obviously blamed Yu Ruyan for occupying Mu Lingzhi and not letting him meet with them.

Yu Ruyan couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, turned around and walked straight in front of Chen Yanfei, and said coldly: "Don't say that His Highness doesn't want to see you again, even if you play tricks to see His Highness again, it depends on whether the princess agrees or not!"

Back then, she trusted Chen Yanfei so much, but she didn't expect that she would use her trust and friendship to stab her in the back, and also use kind and honest copper coins as a cover. At such a young age, her thoughts are too dark.

Although Yu Ruyan didn't have a good impression of An Lirong and others, she hated Chen Yanfei who used her to betray her. Therefore, even in front of so many people, Yu Ruyan didn't treat her well. look.

Chen Yanfei was provoked by her, her little face flushed red, her big round eyes flashed with hostility, and she couldn't help but said harshly: "Princess has a noble status now, so of course she can suppress concubines like us who have no status and no status at will." But don't forget, princess, no matter what, we are all His Highness's people, not the princess's husband-in-law alone, and it is reasonable for us to want to see our own husband-in-law!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the people watching around whispered, thinking that Princess Da Qi wanted to monopolize His Highness's favor by relying on her beauty.

Chen Yanfei's unscrupulous words made An Shi and the others feel bad, but An Lirong also knew that it was very wrong for Chen Yanfei to contradict Yu Ruyan face to face, so she couldn't help but turned her head and reprimanded: "You are so brave. , actually committed the crime of contradicting the princess, and still haven't asked the princess for guilt!"

"You contradict the princess in public, you are so bold!"

A cold voice came, and at some point, Mu Lingzhi had got off the carriage, stood beside Yu Ruyan, held her hand, and looked coldly at the wives and concubines in front of him. Not a trace of temperature.

"Concubine dare not!"

As soon as Mu Lingzhi's words came out, the crowd who had just got up were so frightened that they knelt down in the loess again.

Everyone in the An family wanted to meet Mu Ling, but they didn't expect that they would make him angry as soon as they met.And Chen Yanfei, who had contradicted Yu Ruyan just now, was so frightened that he trembled deeply, he dared not even look up at him.

"The Chen family lied wildly. If you commit the following crimes, you will go back and receive the family law yourself, and you will be banned for half a year!"

"The side concubine, An Shi, was not disciplined well, and she was punished for one year. The others will be spared for the time being. Next time they commit another crime, they will be punished together!"

Without batting an eye, Mu Lingzhi punished the two wives and concubines in the palace on the first day back to Beijing.

He turned around and took Yu Ruyan's hand to return to the carriage, without looking at the people in the place who were standing still, and left without looking back.

Chen Yanfei dreamed of Mu Lingzhi's return, even though she knew that she had no place in his heart, but she loved him deeply, and couldn't help but want to take another look at him.

In order to make Mu Lingzhi fall in love with him, during the past six months, Chen Yanfei has never been idle for a moment, learning chess, learning the art of overthrowing, and learning all the things Yu Ruyan is good at, hoping to wait for Mu Ling in the future After coming back, he can make him fall in love with him like he likes Yu Ruyan.

But I didn't expect that Mu Lingzhi had grounded himself for half a year before they had just met and hadn't even had time to say a word! !

Looking at the carriage going away, Chen Yanfei couldn't help crying anymore.

An Lirong's face was also pale, she knew His Highness loved Yu Ruyan from the beginning, now that she knew her true identity, she didn't have any worries about her identity, I'm afraid he will spoil and love her even more unscrupulously in the future!

Although Mu Lingzhi just fined her for half a year's salary, that amount of money was nothing to her, but Mu Lingzhi punished her in front of the whole city, but it made her lose face.

Hearing Chen Yanfei's cry, An Lirong said bitterly: "Stop crying, don't you feel ashamed enough? Go back."

A group of people came here with great interest, but in the end they all went back with ashen faces and trembling bodies.

Yu Ruyan was not afraid of dealing with the women of the palace, but now she was going to meet the King of Liang and the noble concubine, but Yu Ruyan became inexplicably nervous.

Along the way, Mu Lingzhi held her hand and encouraged her, telling her not to be afraid.However, when Yu Ruyan managed to get rid of the timidity in her heart and was ready to meet Concubine Xie, their car met Concubine Xie's phoenix chariot at the gate of the palace.

Concubine Xie was raised in the palace for many years because of the huge poison on her body, she rarely went out of the palace, and she left the palace suddenly today, definitely not to welcome them.

Looking at the red golden phoenix chariot in front of him, a question flashed in Mu Lingzhi's heart - what caused the concubine mother to leave the palace in person?

Regardless of the doubts in his heart, he hurriedly led Yu Ruyan to the front of the phoenix to pay respects to Concubine Xie. When Concubine Xie heard that Mu Lingzhi had returned, she lifted the curtain with joy, but the expression on her face was different. He was so anxious that he didn't have time to look at Yu Ruyan who was at the side, tears were about to come out from his anxious eyes, "Ling Zhi, the crown prince is gone, what should I do?"

Hearing Concubine Xie's sudden mention of the knife, both Mu Lingzhi and Yu Ruyan couldn't help shaking their bodies. Yu Ruyan was anxious to speak, but was stopped by Mu Lingzhi calmly, and asked, "Mother, don't you want me to talk?" Worry, what happened, explain it clearly!"

"Yesterday I heard that you are back, and the prince happily said that he would personally welcome you into the city, but the attendants who had been with him told me last night and this morning that after the prince came out of the inn where you were staying, he was alone. I ran away on horseback, and I haven't found anyone until now, so I'm worried to death. Now that he is the crown prince, if someone wants to kill him..."

Concubine Xie finally swallowed the words that came to her lips, after all, this place is the gate of the palace, there are many people talking, so one has to be careful with some words.

After hearing Concubine Xie's words, both Yu Ruyan's and Mu Lingzhi's hearts sank involuntarily...

Xiaodao didn't disappear because he went to see them. If something happened to him, the blame would be on them.

Concubine Xie Guifei's sharp eyes caught the pale-faced Yu Ruyan, and she was slightly taken aback!
Although Xiaodao already knew that she was Princess Daqi who was married to her son, but because of what happened to Gu Qing'er before, Concubine Xie still disliked her a lot, thinking that she was too scheming, and she was clearly a princess, but she wanted to marry her. Concealing her identity and living in the palace, messing up the well-established Three Princes' Palace, and later encouraging her son to fight for her country of Qi, all of this made Concubine Xie very dissatisfied——

Even though she knew she was the one who saved Chenzhi, Concubine Xie always felt that after her youngest son came back, his temperament was quite different from before.

I used to be the closest to her, but now my relationship with her is not as good as before. I keep talking about 'sister' before 'sister', as if I think her sister who came out halfway is more important than her mother who worked so hard to give birth to him Dear.

Thinking of how Mu Lingzhi loves her so much to protect her, and is willing to disobey the King of Liang and go to war for Qi because of her, it makes the noble concubine feel that her two sons care too much about this woman in front of her, and the noble concubine will inevitably feel bad .

Seeing her looking over, Yu Ruyan hastily saluted her respectfully.

Although Concubine Xie Guifei didn't like her in her heart, she still calmed down in front of so many palace people, "I heard that you saved the crown prince, took him by your side and took care of him hard, and loved him like a younger brother." , I am very grateful to you. When the crown prince confers the seal, I will host a banquet in person to thank you."

After all, he couldn't wait for Yu Ruyan's answer, so he turned his head and said anxiously to Mu Lingzhi, "Although you've just come back, you've been exhausted, but now the crown prince is gone, so you have to come forward and bring someone to look for it."

Mu Lingzhi didn't even think about it: "Mother and concubine, don't worry, since the son-in-law has returned, I will leave this matter to the son-in-law. If the mother's concubine is not healthy, let's go back to the palace to rest. The son-in-law will definitely make sure the prince is well." Take it back to the palace intact."

After hearing his words, Concubine Xie Guifei's hanging heart finally relaxed for a moment, and she nodded in agreement.

Mu Lingzhi asked the copper coins to send Yu Ruyan back to Bieyuan to rest first. Yu Ruyan glanced at the direction the imperial concubine left, and said, "Your Highness, the palace is your home after all. Going to stay for a while, but, usually, I still want to live in the palace with His Highness."

Mu Lingzhi looked at the leaving figure of his mother and concubine, understood her worries, and couldn't help but sighed softly: "In this case, you will live with me in Yunsong Courtyard as usual, and I will issue a strict order after I go back. Without your and my permission, no one is allowed to step into the Yunsong Courtyard, so as not to disturb you."

After finishing speaking, Mu Lingzhi was also worried about the knife, so he hurriedly led people to look for the knife around the city, while Yu Ruyan took An Ge back home first.

It is too exhausting to travel these days, coupled with what happened late at night, Yu Ruyan is physically and mentally exhausted, she does not want to deal with An and the others, and orders the copper coins to enter the mansion quietly through the side door, and once back to Yunsong Courtyard, let An Brother close the courtyard door.

Returning to the palace and Yunsong Courtyard, Yu Ruyan felt a lot in her heart.

Back in Mu Lingzhi's bedroom, everything inside was still the same as when she left, but the big bed had been changed.

Yu Ruyan knew that Mu Lingzhi did all this because she was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable if she remembered about Chen Yanfei again.

In fact, Yu Ruyan didn't care about the unhappy things that happened with Mu Lingzhi before after she and Mu Lingzhi experienced life-and-death parting, because, in these short few months, she completely understood One truth -

There are thousands of people in the world, and it is not easy to meet someone who truly loves you.Now that she finally met her, she didn't want to waste the rare time between her and Mu Ling because of the plots and tricks in the past.

Climbing on to the new bed that Mu Lingzhi had rebuilt, Yu Ruyan was extremely tired, but she couldn't sleep at all. Thinking about the imprint of the prince tomorrow, Xiaodao was going to be sealed by the prince, and there was no one there yet. What if he couldn't be found tomorrow? Do it?

She didn't have any appetite for lunch, and she didn't see Mu Lingzhi come back until sunset, and there was no news of the knife, so Yu Ruyan couldn't help feeling anxious!

Sitting by the window, she was thinking hard about where the knife might go, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she hurried out towards the garden of the palace.

After nightfall, the palace was very quiet, Yu Ruyan took a shortcut to the small bungalow where she used to live, when she opened the door, looking at everything she had not seen for a long time, she felt a bit sour in her heart.

The pocket knife is not in the bungalow!

The bungalow was exactly the same as when she left, except that there were some books Mu Lingzhi usually liked to read beside the bed, and some clothes he changed and washed.

Unexpectedly, after she left, he has been living in this simple bungalow!
Yu Ruyan felt sour and moved in her heart——

Feelings are a double-edged sword. While hurting her, it also hurt Mu Lingzhi.

It's not difficult for her to imagine that when she quietly left Dongdu with a knife, Brother An, and he couldn't find her, she is now sad and sad, just like she went to the battlefield to find him in despair!

His eyes were swollen for no reason, but the most important thing right now was to find the knife. If something happened to the knife, Mu Ling would have to blame these crimes again.

Yu Ruyan put away her thoughts, and suddenly remembered the stone cave by the garden lake, Xiaodao usually likes to hide there.

She was about to close the door and go there to have a look, but was attracted by a worn-out sachet on the table!
Yu Ruyan thought she had misread it, she couldn't believe it, she approached and picked up the sachet to have a look, she was shocked!
She recognized this sachet. It was the realgar bag that Mu Lingzhi gave her to prevent snakes when she was in the military camp last year. She gave her a total of five realgar bags. one on the body.

Afterwards these two sachets were carried by Xiaodao all the time, Yu Ruyan saw it a few times and saw that they were worn out after carrying them for too long, so she asked him to take them off and make new ones for him, but Xiaodao was never willing to throw them away.

Now seeing the sachet on Xiaodao's body actually appeared in the bungalow, Yu Ruyan guessed that he must have been there, and her heart suddenly became excited.

After a closer look, I found that there was still a piece of letterhead in the sachet.

The letter was written to her by a knife, and she could recognize his handwriting.

It said, let Yu Ruyan go alone to find him in the small courtyard of Gua'er Hutong where they used to live, and he was waiting for her there, wanting to apologize to her face to face for what happened tomorrow night!
Xiaodao repeatedly emphasized in the letter that she was only allowed to go alone, because he wanted to sort out the entanglements in his heart with her, and not to embarrass her in the future.He also promised again and again that he would not do anything wrong with her again.

At the end of the letter, Xiaodao said——

Sister, I will always wait for you in the small courtyard. If you are unwilling to forgive me or see me again, I will leave quietly and never return to Daliang!

After reading the contents of the letter, Yu Ruyan was very happy, and finally knew that the knife was safe, and also knew his whereabouts.Moreover, judging from the meaning in his letter, he already understood the impossibility between him and her, and was ready to let go. This is what makes Yu Ruyan happiest!

She knew that Xiaodao was kind after all, and that he had been by her side for so many years, and he hadn't loved him in vain.

Going back and greeted Brother An quietly, Yu Ruyan quietly left the house from the side door to Guaer Hutong by herself, she must persuade Xiaodao to go back, because he is the most important person in the seal ceremony tomorrow, how can he be absent?

On the other hand, Mu Lingzhi, who had been searching for a knife all day but failed, was very anxious. He didn't even have time to drink, let alone eat.

As time passed, the worry in his heart became more and more serious. He was very afraid that the knife would fall into the hands of the First Prince.

On the top of the tree on the moon, Mu Lingzhi was so exhausted that he collapsed, but he still didn't want to take a break, and continued to lead people around to look for the knife.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city said they saw His Highness the Crown Prince returning to the Eastern Capital last night, so Mu Lingzhi believed that as long as he was in the Eastern Capital, he would be able to find him.

However, at this moment, Tong Qian found him anxiously and told him that the crown prince had been found, in a small courtyard in Gua'er Hutong, and was found by the imperial concubine with someone.

Suddenly hearing the news of the knife, Mu Lingzhi was extremely happy, but when he came back to his senses, he found that there was no joy on the face of the copper coin. Instead, his face was full of hesitation, as if he had encountered something bad. , I couldn't help being startled, and said coldly: "Is there anything else you haven't told me?"

Seeing the copper coins with his deep eyes, he was so frightened that he jumped up and down, and said tremblingly: "When the empress found the prince, there was... there was another person in the house..."

Seeing the terrified appearance of the copper coins, Mu Lingzhi's heart became inexplicably flustered, and he couldn't help asking eagerly, "Who else is in the house?"

"And...and the princess..."
