Lead clouds hang low, plain snow falls into the sky, and thousands of miles of jade luan 1 fly between the sky and the earth, weaving into an endless curtain of snow.
Two carriages were galloping along the long and wide palace road. On both sides of the palace road, pines and cypresses stood proudly, and the green treetops were covered with a high layer of snow-white crowns. The cold wind whistled, the branches swayed slightly, and jade sand fell all over the ground. In a short time, the marks left by the ruts on the snow were covered up.
In the carriage, Luo Huaizhou had put on clean clothes and was sitting with Shi Manzi. The two of them had their own thoughts and were silent all the way.
Luo Huaizhou secretly glanced at Shi Manzi and saw that she was in a distant state of mind. He immediately looked back and reached out to lift a corner of the car curtain. He looked at the towering palace wall extending to the end of the road, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
A red wall more than ten feet high seemed to separate the inside and the outside into two worlds. People outside rushed in to squeeze in, but little did they know that the inside of this majestic palace wall was like a cold abyss, making it difficult to breathe.
Everyone knows that he is an unruly prince who never gets involved in temple matters. They think that he does not have a clear understanding of the black and white chess in the court. In fact, this is not the case. He has already seen many things in his mind. But whether it was the overthrow of imperial power or the strife between powerful people, he just wanted to be an observer and did not want to get involved.
Power is like a besieged city, nourishing desires and besieging the swans with original intentions. Some people enjoy the pleasures and pleasures, some are obsessed with stirring up troubles, some are obsessed with rejecting dissidents, some become arrogant, and some just want to cross the high wall like a swan goose. Find a vast world of your own.
Life in heaven and earth is like a traveler from afar. Tens of years pass by in a blink of an eye. If you can live a free and easy life, why bother to work hard for the power that will eventually return to Mo Shangchen, trap yourself in it, and be unable to escape?
Thinking of this, a wry smile overflowed the corner of his mouth, Luo Huaizhou put down the car curtain and gently closed his eyes.
After traveling for an unknown amount of time, the carriage suddenly shook, catching him off guard. Luo Huaizhou tilted his body and almost hit Shi Manzi, who was also falling.
He quickly supported Shi Manzi, and after the two of them sat firmly, he looked out of the car and asked, "What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, it's——"
As soon as the coachman started speaking, he was cut off by a steady and powerful voice.
"My subordinate Xuanjilou Ziyu, please see Prince Lu."
"Ziyu?" Luo Huaizhou and Shi Manzi looked at each other, a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes, and then they seemed to have thought of something, opened the door curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
Luo Huaizhou staggered and almost fell to the ground, but he didn't notice it. After he could stand still, he asked Ziyu anxiously: "But what happened to your young master? Or is it his?" Is the injury getting worse?”
Ziyu saw that his face was tired, but his eyes were full of concern and worry for his master. He couldn't help but feel a trace of respect in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the master's injury is no longer serious, and this subordinate is here just for you." I have been ordered by my master to inform the prince of this matter so that you won’t worry.”
"Is Jing Qian okay?" Luo Huaizhou was stunned for a moment, then his expression brightened, and his eyes suddenly lit up. But in an instant, his clear eyes were replaced by a trace of doubt, "No, I saw everything on him with my own eyes. They are all bloody wounds, how could he be fine if he was so seriously injured?"
Luo Huaizhou's thoughts were racing, and he seemed to understand something. He suddenly frowned and asked, "Is he worried that I will feel guilty and blame myself, so he asked you to tell me this to make me feel at ease?"
As he said that, he glanced at the carriage behind him, clenched his fists, and said decisively: "Don't worry, I brought a car of imperial doctors with me to the palace this time. No matter what, I will cure Jing Qian." !”
Ziyu couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he heard what he said. The master's guess was correct. Prince Lu would indeed bring the imperial doctor to treat him, so he made himself wait outside the palace gate just to stop Prince Lu. The master's injury has aggravated the old illness, so it is really not appropriate to take some medicine that can temporarily restore the pulse. If the imperial doctor really checks the pulse, then the master's condition may not be concealed.
"The prince is too worried. Ziyu dare not deceive the prince." Ziyu bowed to him and explained with a sincere face, "Although the master suffered many external injuries, fortunately, his muscles and bones were not injured, and his life was not in danger. , coupled with the timely treatment of the knight errant, the injury is no longer serious."
Luo Huaizhou glanced at Ziyu slightly suspiciously. Why did he always feel that Ziyu was here to stop him? However, when he thought that Ziyu had always been loyal to Su Jingqian, he quickly gave up this doubt and said instead: "Since everything has come out, let the imperial doctor take a look at Jingqian to reassure me. .”
Although Ziyu was very grateful to Luo Huaizhou for his concern and care for his master, he still used the words prepared by Su Jingqian without changing his expression and said calmly: "Master said, if the prince is sincere for him, For the sake of thinking, we should let him rest for a few days at this time. It is really not appropriate to mobilize a large number of people to avoid false accusations. After he recovers from his injuries, he will come to find you."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Huaizhou fell silent. Of course he knew what "according to the facts" meant. Wasn't it just because he stood up for Xiao Yue Wan that day that his mother summoned Xiao Yue Wan into the palace and tortured her? He never imagined that one day his care and protection for his friends would bring disaster to them.
When he thought of this, Luo Huaizhou felt mixed emotions in his heart. He sighed softly, nodded to Ziyu and said, "That's fine, I'll wait for him at home. If he needs anything, just come to me."
Ziyu bowed deeply to Luo Huaizhou, "On behalf of my master, Ziyu would like to thank Prince Lu."
After Ziyu left, Luo Huaizhou walked to the carriage at the back, explained the situation to several imperial doctors, and ordered the carriage to be driven back to the palace, while he got on the previous carriage.
As soon as he entered the carriage, he saw Shi Manzi handing over a cup of hot tea and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's cold outside. Let's drink some hot tea to warm yourself up."
Luo Huaizhou nodded, reached out to take the tea cup and took a sip. The warm tea flowed down his throat, immediately warming his heart and lungs. He smiled gratefully at Shi Manzi and said sincerely: "Miss Shi, thank you for going to the palace to rescue Yue Wan today. Now that Jing Qian's injuries are no longer serious, let's not disturb them anymore today. I'll take you back first." Mansion."
Shi Manzi nodded slightly, "I heard everything just now. The prince must not have slept a wink that day, so he should go back to his house early to rest. But -"
Shi Manzi changed the subject, and the smile in her almond-shaped eyes faded slightly, and suddenly she became more awe-inspiring, "Your Majesty said something wrong. Yue Wan is my friend. When my friend is in trouble, it is my duty to do so. And Why do you need to say thank you?"
Luo Huaizhou looked at Shi Manzi's expression and felt a little surprised. I still remember that when we first met, this daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs still looked obedient and cautious, but now she has become a little different. Although she still looks gentle and dignified, she seems to be a little less reserved and coquettish, and instead Gives people a soft but not weak feeling.
Just as Luo Huaizhou was thinking about it, he heard Shi Manzi say: "As for other things, the prince does not need to worry too much and blame himself. As Yue Wan said, everything in the world is subject to many variables, and everyone has their own choice. , how can the prince control the words and deeds of others? So the whole matter has nothing to do with the prince."
When Luo Huaizhou heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and finally raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Ms. Shi's words were so precise that I suddenly understood. I just didn't expect Miss Shi to be so eloquent."
After saying that, he tilted his head and looked at her, his eyes as clear as mountain springs, full of smiles and gratitude, "Thank you, Shi Manzi."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Manzi saw a flash of light in his eyes, and he didn't know whether it was surprise or panic.
Shi Manzi stared at Luo Huaizhou blankly, her heart pounding. This was the first time Luo Huaizhou called her by her name, which also meant that from this moment on, he had regarded her as a true friend. At this moment, all the frustration and loss in Shi Manzi's heart were forgotten by her.
Perhaps, time is not over yet, and there is still hope for the future.
