The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 18
So Chu Xunyang didn't expect him to answer this question at all, and indeed, as she expected, Lord Yanling only answered her with the usual silence.

"Okay! I accept your thanks!" After returning in vain, Chu Xunyang sighed inwardly, turned around and walked back and forth.

"Chu Xunyang!" Lord Yanling kept watching her back with a complicated expression, and suddenly called out to her when she walked three feet away.

Chu Xunyang stopped, but didn't look back.

Lord Yanling looked at her from a distance, even if he was only facing a back, his expression was full of openness and sincerity: "I just don't want to lie to you. I owe you this question, and there will be a long future." , I will tell you everything you want to know."

"No need!" Chu Xunyang smiled.

She turned her head, pointed at him with the flute in her hand, smiled brightly, and said clearly: "You and I, see each other again!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and threw the flute back to him from a distance, then turned around and walked away neatly.

Lord Yanling held the flute in his hand, and subconsciously took a step forward, but he held back after all, and fell silent while holding the flute tightly.

Chu Xunyang walked quickly along the way, without looking back, he left the maple forest, bypassed the winding wisteria trellis, and left the valley.

During this time, Lord Yanling stood still on the spot.

Ju Hong sent Chu Xunyang away and came back to report. Seeing that his expression was different, she tried to ask, "Master?"

"Yeah!" Lord Yanling came back to his senses, as if a cold iron mask was suddenly placed on his brows and eyes, and the atmosphere in front of him miraculously took a turn for the worse, as if in an instant, his face was already clear. The sharp edges and corners became more resolute and cold.

Ju Hong was overwhelmed by his momentum, and quickly bowed her head and said: "The master of Xunyang County has already left the valley."

"Understood." Lord Yanling said, his tone was cold and harsh, not as cramped and stiff as before, "Has Yingzi not returned yet? How is the situation in the army now?"

"Not yet, if the master is in a hurry, the servant will go out of the valley to meet her?" Ju Hong said.

"No need!" Lord Yanling raised his hand and walked towards the depths of the woods, while ordering, "Go and prepare the horse, just ask Shen Lan to stay here, I will go back to Beijing immediately."

"There has just been a major incident in the army here, and the situation in the court is bound to be turbulent. At this time—" Ju Hong couldn't help gasping, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the master to go back at this time."

"What does the current situation have to do with me? I can only blame them for bullying too much. I will pay them back with the interest of this situation." Lord Yanling sneered, his tone cold and unrestrained.

Ju Hong knew that he was really angry this time, so she didn't dare to persuade her anymore, and hurriedly followed his orders.

As soon as Chu Xunyang came out of the valley, he issued an embargo order. Zhu Yuanshan and others were not allowed to mention what happened here today to a third person other than Chu Qifeng. Jiang Liu rushed up to greet him, and reported: "Princess, there is an urgent report from the capital, and the prince of the county please return to the camp as soon as possible."

"Urgent report from the capital? Did brother say what it was?" Chu Xunyang pondered.

"No." Jiang Liu shook his head, "It was His Royal Highness who was in a hurry to find you, but the county prince prevaricated and asked his subordinates to please go back quickly."

Chu Xunyang didn't dare to delay, and hurried back to the barracks with a group of people, and went straight to Chu Yi'an's tent.

At that time, Chu Yi'an, the army commander Huo Gang, and Chu Qifeng were analyzing the situation in the army with a map. When they heard her footsteps, they looked up and said, "Go back and pack up immediately, and set off with me tomorrow morning. Beijing."

"Tomorrow morning?" Chu Xunyang was stunned for a moment, "Why are you in such a hurry? But what happened in the capital?"

"I just received the news from the capital today, saying that your grandmother's birthday will be celebrated next month." Chu Yi'an said, clicking on it.

The queen was fifty-seven at the time, and she didn't live a full life. It stands to reason that there is no need to make a big deal, and such a thing has never happened in her previous life.

Chu Xunyang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he understood clearly in his heart——

This matter must have something to do with Nanhe Palace again.

"Yes, my daughter knows, let's go get ready." Chu Xunyang said, turned and exited the tent.

It was already dusk outside, and the setting sun was hanging on the horizon, burning up a bright sea of ​​clouds, which was extremely enchanting.

Chu Xunyang's eyes narrowed, and a smile rose from the corner of his lips.

Five days later, Prince Chu Yi'an and his party arrived in Beijing.

Chu Yi'an went directly to the palace to meet the emperor, and Chu Xunyang took all the entourage and luggage back to the East Palace to resettle. As soon as the carriages and horses turned into the alley, they saw a canopy carriage parked at the door.

The head housekeeper Zeng Qi knew they were coming back today, so he was already waiting at the gate to greet them early in the morning.

"Is there a guest at the house today?" Chu Xunyang asked suspiciously when he got out of the car.

Chu Yi'an Zhou and Car Laodun just arrived today, so it stands to reason that even if someone wants to visit the door, they should avoid today.

"It's the princess who's back." Butler Zeng said.

I knew that these people would not stop, and my father hadn't even entered the door yet, so the trouble came first!
"Big sister is back?" Chu Xunyang frowned imperceptibly, and stepped into the door.

"Yes! I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is returning to Beijing today, so he came back specially to pick him up." Zeng Guanjia said, with a very humble and respectful attitude, and then seemed to inadvertently mention a sentence, "At the moment, I am in the Jinxiu Building with the side concubine. The lady is talking."

Chu Xunyang didn't say anything, but said: "Father has gone to the palace, and he may not be able to come back when. Butler Zeng, don't wait, just move your luggage in first."

As he spoke, he walked briskly to the backyard.

Steward Zeng looked at her back, sighed vaguely, and directed his servants to move the things into the door swiftly.

Chu Xunyang returned to his own yard, and when he passed the corridor in the front yard, he narrowed his eyes slightly when he stopped the eyes of the people behind him, and ordered, "Qingteng, go and find out what Lei's mother and daughter are doing." Well, knowing that her father has been annoyed by her all the time after that incident, he still ran back at this juncture, so don't come up with some crooked ideas again."

The two girls were taken aback for a moment, and Qingteng readily responded.

Qingluo couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, and said puzzledly: "What's wrong with the princess today? The housekeeper has hinted to you many times in the past few years, and I always hope that you can come forward to clean up the backyard. You keep those people at a respectful distance, why are you suddenly interested in meddling their affairs today?"

"It's just a few shallow-sighted women, I'm too lazy to bother with them." Chu Xunyang said, the look in his eyes deepened as he spoke, "The emperor is suspicious, every step my father took in the previous court It's not easy, if those women are just making ordinary troubles, I won't intervene this time, but if they dare to do anything to drag father back, I will not tolerate it no matter what."
