Looking at Lu Yuanyuan with a guilty face, Shen Yuzhi thought for a moment and said, "I let him run away on purpose."
In fact, if Lu Yuanyuan hadn't caught up with him, Shen Yuzhi would have planned to cause an accident so that the other party could take the opportunity to escape.
Recently, there have been several theft incidents in the capital, and it was initially determined that a group of people were responsible. And this prisoner is the only one caught so far. He has been interrogated for a long time but has no clue.
Later, Shen Yuzhi came up with a way. After discussing with his superiors, he pretended to let this person go and then sent someone to follow him.
During the chase just now, he was still thinking about how to be more realistic and prevent the other party from suspecting, when Lu Yuanyuan happened to appear.
But he didn't want to tell her this.
He looked around, finally turned around and squatted down, turning his head and saying, "Come up!"
Lu Yuanyuan blushed and was a little embarrassed: "This, this is not good..."
"Okay, then you just sit here and wait for me to go back and call someone!"
As he said that, Shen Yuzhi was about to get up.
"don't want!"
Lu Yuanyuan was so excited that she forgot about the injury on her foot and pounced on him.
Shen Yuzhi didn't expect her to be so sudden, and his body involuntarily jumped forward. He took two steps forward before he could steady his body.
And Lu Yuanyuan was so painful that she burst into tears.
Shen Yuzhi sighed, softened his tone and said, "Okay, I don't blame you for delaying my work, why are you crying."
"My, my feet hurt."
Lu Yuanyuan said aggrievedly: "I'm afraid you'll leave and leave me alone."
Shen Yuzhi stood up with her on his back and glanced in the distance: Lu Yuanyuan's horse was frightened and scared away his horse. He didn't know when he would come back.
The two of them could only walk back slowly.
Fortunately, the guards following Lu Yuanyuan found Lu Jiuchen in time.
From a distance, Lu Jiuchen saw a figure on the official road.
Shen Yuzhi was only looking at the road under his feet. He didn't notice it at first. Lu Yuanyuan saw it first, waved his hand and shouted: "Brother, brother! I'm here."
"Uu~~~!"
Lu Jiuchen reined in the reins and turned around immediately after taking a look.
The boy didn't know why: "Little prince! That's the little princess!"
Lu Jiuchen glanced at him: "I know! If it weren't for Yuanyuan, I wouldn't have left! Come on, come on, act like you didn't see anything!"
Clamping the horse's belly, he suddenly remembered after running a hundred or ten meters and ordered: "Go and clear away all the people on the road! If I hear anything that damages the reputation of the princess and spread it, none of you will survive!"
The boy hurriedly said: "Yes, I understand!"
Lu Yuanyuan saw her brother appear and leave without looking back. She was dumbfounded: "Then, is that my brother?"
Shen Yuzhi also spotted Lu Jiuchen when Lu Yuanyuan made a sound. As soon as Lu Jiuchen turned his horse's head, he understood what the other party meant, but he didn't speak and continued to move forward.
Lu Yuanyuan obviously hasn't recovered yet: "Does my brother have bad eyesight? Can't he see someone as big as me?"
Shen Yuzhi nodded seriously: "Well, you can ask an imperial doctor to take a look at him later."
With Lu Jiuchen clearing the road in advance, he didn't meet anyone along the way.
When Shen Yuzhi approached the city gate, the frightened horse finally came back.
After helping Lu Yuanyuan sit on the horse, Shen Yuzhi led the horse into the city and sent him directly back to Prince Qing's Mansion before leaving.
As soon as Luo Ran returned to the house, before he could take a breath, he heard that Lu Yuanyuan was injured, and he went out again.
It happened that Shen Xiqing also got the news, and the two met by chance in front of Prince Qing's Mansion.
Shen Xiqing looked at Lu Yuanyuan, who had one foot wrapped like a rice dumpling but looked proud, and couldn't help but tease: "I've never seen a patient like you. He was injured and still happy as if he had found a treasure!"
Luo Ran also nodded.
Lu Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and shouted loudly to the people waiting in the room: "You all get out! Guard at the door, no one is allowed in!"
"yes!"
The maids and ladies all went out. Lu Yuanyuan held Shen Xiqing with one hand and Luo Ran with the other, and said mysteriously: "Do you know how I was injured?"
Luo Ran and Shen Xiqing looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Shen Xiqing was deliberately curious: "Oh? Is there another story here? Come on, tell me, it won't be about beauty saving heroes, right?"
Lu Yuanyuan rolled his eyes at her and said excitedly: "You don't know, at that time I thought I had ruined Brother Shen's affairs. Later he told me that I even helped him!"
Lu Yuanyuan looked proud.
Luo Ran repeated: "Brother Shen?"
Lu Yuanyuan blushed, lowered her head shyly, and whispered: "He saved me, and because of your relationship, wouldn't it be too outrageous for me to call him that, Mr. Shen?"
Shen Xiqing leaned towards her face and whispered, "I heard that it was my elder brother who carried you back?"
Lu Yuanyuan nodded.
Shen Xiqing slapped her hand, which shocked Luo Ran and Lu Yuanyuan. Shen Xiqing patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Yuanyuan, my eldest brother and you are already close to each other. He will definitely treat you." You are responsible!"
Lu Yuanyuan's face turned pale and she was a little worried: "Sister Xiqing, you misunderstood!"
Shen Xiqing waved her hand: "I didn't misunderstand, don't worry! My mother has been worried to death about my eldest brother's marriage all day long. If she knew that my eldest brother was cheating on other people's girls and was not responsible, she would definitely interrupt him. Legs! My eldest brother is filial and will definitely listen to my mother in the end! Just wait to be my sister-in-law!"
After hearing Shen Xiqing's heroic words, Lu Yuanyuan not only didn't feel happy, she almost burst into tears. She held Luo Ran's hand pleadingly: "Sister Ran, please persuade Sister Xiqing! I, I didn't mean that! "
Luo Ran patted Lu Yuanyuan's hand comfortingly and said with a smile: "I know, you don't want to force your cousin, right?"
Lu Yuanyuan nodded hurriedly.
Luo Ran said again: "Are you afraid that Xi Qing did this and your cousin will hate you because of this?"
Lu Yuanyuan nodded harder.
Luo Ran continued: "But this is currently the fastest and most effective way for you to marry your cousin. Once the news of that day spreads, your reputation will be damaged. Have you thought about it?"
Lu Yuanyuan nodded without hesitation and said: "Sister Ran, don't worry, my eldest brother spotted the people on the road that day, and no one noticed! What's more, even if someone saw it, what would happen? I am the princess, and I am afraid that they can't say it. ?”
Luo Ran: "Even so, you don't want to force your cousin?"
Lu Yuanyuan said firmly: "Sister Ran, Sister Xi Qing, it's true that I like Brother Shen, but I have never thought of using those shady means to force him. What's the difference between me and Luo Ruxue, Fu Mingzhu and the others? What's more? , even if I get Brother Shen, it will just be another pair of resentful couples in the world, and I don’t want to live like that!"
Shen Xiqing said blankly: "The melons that are twisted are not necessarily sweet. Look at Ranran..."
Lu Yuanyuan shook her head: "Sister Ran is different from brother Yan Hui. Brother Yan Hui likes sister Ran, and sister Ran doesn't hate brother Yan Hui, so they are so enviable now."
Shen Xiqing smiled: "How do you know Ranran didn't hate His Highness Prince Xuan back then?"
Outside the door, Lu Jiuchen looked at someone's suddenly darkened face as if he were just watching the fun, but inside, Shen Xiqing was still saying desperately: "You don't know, Ranran was trying to avoid His Highness Prince Xuan..."
"cousin!"
Luo Ran suddenly interrupted Shen Xiqing: "Stop talking."
