Chapter 259 Cloak
"The prince is back."

Xiaodong raised his head: "Really?"

"I just came back." Ke'er paused, then whispered: "Xiao Song said that he saw that Shizi also brought someone back with him."

"who?"

"I can't see clearly, it's quite far away, that person is covered from head to toe...Xiao Song thinks..." Ke'er's voice became even softer: "Like a woman."

"woman?"

At this time, what kind of woman did Zhao Lu bring back?
"Xiao Song said, Shizi and that person seem to be very close..."

Xiaodong was going to ask Zhao Lu if there was any way to find out Meng Hui's current whereabouts.Ordinarily, Meng Hui was a civil servant, but he just joined in the fun... But when something like this happened, no one could say for sure.

How could you bring a woman back at such a time?Must be wrong.

Xiaodong couldn't sit still even more: "I'll go to my brother's place to have a look."

Zhao Lu used to live in a yard close to Yufang Pavilion, but as he got older, he moved to a yard near the front yard after returning from the northwest.

Ke'er was holding an umbrella, and the others followed behind. Xiaodong walked in a hurry, and all the servants of Prince An's Mansion bowed and saluted along the way, and Xiaodong didn't care about it.When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the guard saw her stunned: "The princess is here."

"Is brother back?"

"Yes, Shizi is in the house, but..."

Xiaodong glanced at him, walked in, and the guard looked embarrassed, and hurriedly came to stop him: "Master Shizi is very tired, and ordered no one to disturb him."

Xiaodong looked at him silently.

The guard was a little panicked: "Please forgive me, the princess, that's what the prince ordered."

"Then you go in and report, just say that I want to see my brother, and I have something to tell him."

The guard responded and went in, but the others still had no intention of giving way.

It seems... Even if there are no women in Zhao Lu's house, there must be something that cannot be known to others——

The guard came out of the house in a hurry again, and said respectfully and fearfully: "My lord, please let the princess in, but these girls just..."

In fact, he didn't have to be so afraid, Xiaodong didn't have the heart to embarrass these people, they were also loyal to their duties.The guards around An Wang are even more so, and Xiaodong's face is not always easy to use there.

She turned her head and told Ke'er and the others: "You wait for me here."

Xiaodong took the umbrella to support himself, walked to the door of the house and put the umbrella down.

"elder brother."

Zhao Lu stretched out his hand towards her: "Look at you, you are in a hurry, you came here when it was raining, and your skirt is wet."

Not only the skirt, but also the uppers were wet.

But at the moment, whether the shoes are wet or not.

Xiaodong took a look, only Zhao Lu was in the room.

There is no one Xiao Song said she saw.

Xiaodong's eyes paused slightly by the door leading to the inner room.

"My brother didn't come back last night, did something happen?"

And, why is it suddenly back now?
Zhao Lu only said: "Yesterday, I got caught up in an urgent matter. I'm coming back to pack some things, and I'll go out later. By the way, did father say anything?"

"No." Xiaodong shook his head: "That matter...does brother know?"

Zhao Lu was stunned: "It's Empress Dowager Shengde... Oh, you said about the third prince."

Zhao Lu is not quite right today.

The death of the third prince involves too much, compared to who can care about the death of Empress Dowager Shengde?

At this critical moment when the mountain rain is about to come, Zhao Lu seems to be a little-out of shape.

Yes, it is not in the state.

Compared to King An's solemnity and Qin Lie's busyness, Zhao Lu's behavior was a bit unusual.

Another person reported outside: "Your Majesty, the food is ready, should I bring it in and use it or put it on the west side?"

"Has brother eaten yet?"

Zhao Lu glanced at Xiaodong and said, "Bring it in."

When this end comes in, Xiaodong can see it——

There are two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the tray.

If Zhao Lu is the only one, why do you need two sets?
Zhao Lu was quite calm, he watched the table set and retreated, then walked over and closed the door behind him.

"younger sister……"

"Brother, if there is anything that is inconvenient for me to know, then I will go back first. I came here to know if you are safe. Now that you are not injured and nothing is wrong, I am relieved. Brother, there is still time to go out later." If it's important, I'll go back first."

Zhao Lu showed a slight apology on his face: "Sister, don't worry, it's nothing... I will explain everything to you after this matter is over."

"Yeah." Xiaodong said: "There is one more thing. Shen Fang came early this morning. She said that Meng Hui also went to the hunting ground with his colleagues to join in the fun, and she never came back. She was very worried."

Zhao Lu nodded and said, "I see, don't worry, I will send someone to look for him."

"Brother, you...be careful."

Zhao Lu nodded: "I know."

After coming out of the house, the rain outside was still falling heavily, with no intention of stopping at all.

Ke'er followed Xiaodong for a while, but Xiaodong didn't speak.

Although Ke'er was curious, she always remembered what Sister Hongjing ordered, that the servants should not inquire about things that the master didn't want to say.

Many people are good at other things, they have skills, and they are clever, but they just can't control their ears or mouth. Sometimes they commit taboos and are punished, and they don't know where they are wrong.

Xiaodong also knew that there were people in the inner room.

But since Zhao Lu couldn't let her know now, there must be her reasons.

As long as he is safe, Xiaodong can rest assured.

Zhao Lu didn't stay long, and hurried out again.According to Xiao Song's little ear, the man also went out with the Shizi, and he was still wrapped in a thick cloak from head to toe, so he couldn't see anything.

Xiaodong doesn't believe that Zhao Lu still has romantic thoughts at this time.

However, his reaction was indeed a bit wrong.

Could it be...that mysterious man in the cloak is Miss Yin?

Zhao Lu did not express any objection to King An's engagement for Zhao Lu.

But there is a saying that is good, even if the case is raised, it is difficult to understand——

Is Zhao Lu also uneasy?

Even so, Zhao Lu is not such an indifferent person.

The most important thing now is not the love of children.

Xiaodong looked at the menu, marked out a dish, and added a hot soup.

But no one came back to eat at noon, only she took Ah Da to eat.As soon as she was distracted, Ah Da clutched a ball of rice in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth with a smirk.That action didn't look like eating, but rather like painting a wall, with rice grains all over his face.

Xiaodong asked someone to bring a wet cloth towel to wipe his hands and face, and put him to bed after eating. Ah Da slept soundly, and when he turned over, he put one leg on Xiaodong's body.Xiaodong took his legs down for him, and put them up again after a while.

Xiaodong just let him sit like this, she couldn't sleep.

But it has nothing to do with whether her son's legs are on her body or not.

----------

Who is the cloak man?Let's take a guess. .
