At three o'clock in the morning, the carriage finally returned to the palace after a long absence.
When the four vigorous gilt characters of the Jiangxia Palace once again shone in front of Xiao Yu's eyes, he suddenly felt as if he was in another world.
Just as I was thinking of this, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Old Dongfang's voice came from the window.
"My young prince, you have returned home safely. I will go back soon."
Xiao Yu opened the car window and looked out, only to see that everyone who had followed him from Chunhefang was already standing outside the window, and more than a hundred burly men all came to say goodbye to Xiao Yu. .
"Don't leave in a hurry! Come in and have a cup of tea."
Everyone laughed, and the voice was very bold.
Yu Tianmin took a step forward and said: "Young Master, these words from you are sweeter than drinking honey from a honey jar. We are self-aware, how can people of our status be qualified to visit the mansion? The prince has returned home safely, and I will go back when I am relieved. If I am useful in the future, no matter what your order, I will go there even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire."
"That's right, that's right, young prince, you are thinking of us, so why not give our hearts to you? If you are of use to us, please give us your orders at any time, and we will be here at your call."
At this time, someone else said: "Little Prince, do you think... can we really gain a foothold in Jiankang City?"
As soon as he said this, he was immediately dismissed by others, who all said that his intentions were not pure and he was not worthy to talk to the young prince here.
But looking back, everyone knew that this person spoke to everyone's heart.
The purpose of everyone returning south is that they can no longer live in the north, and they hope to have a better life in the south.
No one is exempt from this pursuit of a happy life.
Xiao Yu said loudly: "This brother is right. If I say it can be done, it will be done."
After saying this, Xiao Yu actually felt a little ashamed.
But when he saw a burst of loud cheers from the crowd, he secretly took this matter to heart.
At this time, Dongfang Lao came to the car window and whispered: "Little prince, Liu Changshi has lost a lot of blood, and we must treat him quickly. There is a mix of good and bad among the overseas Chinese in Chunhefang, and maybe someone is a spy of the imperial court, so Liu Changshi cannot stay in the palace for a long time, so we should find a way to move him as soon as possible."
Xiao Yu had never thought about this before, but it was not unreasonable. Not only Chunhefang, but also Jiangxia Prince's Palace must have spies in the palace, but he didn't know it.
Liu Boxuan followed him back to the palace, which was a dangerous move in itself.
Just when Xiao Yu was thinking of this, he heard Mr. Dongfang outside add
"If you need a general, send someone you trust. The general will be called upon at any time."
Xiao Yu frowned and nodded in understanding.
In any case, there are not many people in this world that Xiao Yu really cares about. Liu Boxuan is one of them. If his uncle Liu Shi is in trouble, he will do his best to rush to the Golden Palace, and he will not hesitate.
At this moment, he was no longer in the mood to chat with everyone.
He said a hasty farewell to everyone and asked the driver to drive on.
But the servants who were already waiting in front of the main entrance were all curious as to why the young prince didn't get out of the car but followed the carriage to the side entrance.
I saw the carriage walking eastward along the high wall of the outer courtyard of the palace for a while, and then turned north into an alley.
Xiao Yu has some impressions of this road. It was this road he took when he and Qingxue sneaked out for the first time.
After walking for a while, the carriage came to a side door, which allowed the carriage to enter.
There was a carriage parked in front of the door, and a few boys were carrying the goods on the carriage to the palace.
When they saw that the carriage specially designed for the master to go out had returned, they all gave up their seats and stood by the door.
Through the car window, Xiao Yu suddenly saw Manager Cui. He opened the car window and asked:
"Manager Cui, what are you moving?"
Manager Cui looked surprised when he saw Xiao Yu in the car. Seeing the owner asking questions, he quickly replied:
"Old slave...Old slave doesn't know. It was sent to us by people from Zhu Shizhong's house. It has been sent several times. There is no gift note. The person who came said that it was sent to us by Zhu Shizhong. Even the young prince knows about it."
"Zhu Yi, right? Yes, I know, move inside!"
Seeing those large black wooden boxes that should be filled with gold and silver treasures, Xiao Yu felt indescribably happy.
Everyone knew that Zhu Yi used Xiang Xiang to make a lot of money. Who would have thought that the money he made would eventually be used for the reconstruction of Chunhefang.
If those expats knew about it, they would really have to build a shrine for him.
Making money was originally a very happy thing, but now when he saw Manager Cui, he felt a little panicked.
Manager Cui didn't seem to pay that much attention. Originally, he was bringing people to carry things. Now that the master was back, he had to follow him to serve him, so he took a few people with him and followed the master all the way to the courtyard.
Xiao Yu didn't know where the carriage would be in the end. In other words, this was the first time since he traveled back in time that he was going home in his own carriage.
But he has been thinking about a question in his mind, that is, whether Manager Cui can be trusted.
In Xiao Yu's intuition, Manager Cui is either the spy of the one sitting high on the throne, or the spy of a high-ranking eunuch in the palace. This does not rule out the fact that he has watched too many costume dramas in the past. I feel that eunuchs have great power.
The main question now is what to do with the two people next to him. He must at least find a way to arrange them to a safe place!
Xiao Yu glanced at the two of them.
Dendrobium just sat leaning to the side with a slightly confused look in his eyes. It was obvious that he didn't know where he was being taken.
Liu Boxuan is still unconscious and his face is worse than before. It is not known whether his injury is critical or not.
He glanced out the window: "Manager Cui, go and do your work. Find someone to find Manager Huang and Zhang Huyuan. I'll wait for them at the parking lot."
"Guanshi Huang has gone out to share the farm, and Zhang Huyuan also went with him this morning. I have nothing else to do, so let me serve the young prince!"
Xiao Yu frowned. When did this housekeeper who had always been at odds with him become so attentive to him?
It seemed that since he went to pick him up from the princess's mansion yesterday, he was a little different from before. He even doubted that it was the same person under the mask?
But since the other party said this, Xiao Yu really couldn't refute it.
He could only bite the bullet and take a gamble!
At worst, I'll go to Jiankang Palace to see Xiao Yuheng again.
Just when I thought of this, the carriage suddenly stopped, and there was a noise of men and women outside. It seems that someone is here to greet you. Just outside the car window, men and women shouted in unison: "Welcome the young prince back to the house."
Xiao Yu took a deep breath, opened the car door slightly, only exposed a gap, and looked out.
He looked around at the people greeting him outside, left and right, some were familiar, some were unfamiliar, but no one he thought he could trust.
When these people saw their young prince behaving so strangely, they couldn't help but look at each other, wondering what he wanted to do.
After a while, the young prince's voice was heard from inside the carriage.
"Manager Cui, come here."
Everyone looked at Manager Cui in unison.
"calls me?"
Manager Cui pointed to his nose.
"Yes, come here."
After Xiao Yu said that, he closed the car door again.
Everyone was curious, but no one dared to move forward without the young prince's order.
Manager Cui came to the car door suspiciously and glanced at the driver.
The coachman just shook his head. The young prince was not kind to him and spoke very kindly. He considered himself to be the young prince's confidant. How could he tell others about the young prince's affairs casually? He has this awareness.
Manager Cui shook his head and could only open the door himself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the car door opened, Manager Cui was stunned for a blink of an eye. He quickly closed the car door without saying a word.
Xiao Yu in the car took a deep breath, glanced at the dendrobium, and then raised his ears to listen to what was going on outside.
There was a noise outside, and Manager Cui seemed to be arranging something.
Anyway, the group of people outside were dismissed.
After a while, Qingxue's voice seemed to be heard outside, and several familiar nurses were also talking.
Xiao Yu sat in the car and waited for a moment, then saw the door opened again.
This time it was Qingxue who appeared in front of the door.
The big eyes on her delicate face blinked twice, and it was obvious that she was also surprised.
"Little prince, they... who are they..."
Xiao Yushang didn't say anything when he saw Shi Hu grinning innocently at Qing Xue, his face turned red.
…
Jiangxia Prince's Mansion, Fengming Pavilion.
Xiao Yu put on a gorgeous outfit that a young prince should wear, and stomped back and forth in the hall.
His face never looked good, and he seemed a little impatient.
This made the full-time maids and servants in the pavilion look very cautious, not daring to take a breath for fear of making the young prince angry if they were not careful.
But they would secretly glance at the young prince from time to time, and also peek at the guest room that the young prince was paying attention to.
Just two hours ago, I saw several nurses carrying a stretcher mysteriously carrying an injured man here. Behind them was a young man with a stupid look on his face. He is always holding a silver gun, which makes people feel particularly strange.
Just when the maids and servants in the courtyard wanted to step forward to see what was going on, Manager Cui suddenly appeared with a frosty look on his face.
Just as the maids and servants were about to disperse, he called them together again.
"No one is allowed to leak the affairs in the pavilion. No one is allowed to approach the guest room where the guests rest, and no one is allowed to inquire. Otherwise, they will be beaten to death with sticks."
This kind of thing has not never happened before. He once killed twenty or thirty servants with a stick in one breath.
That time it was really too much, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the young prince. It is said that he still wears a mask now, but his original face was smashed by the young prince with one punch.
Originally, everyone in the palace thought that he was about to lose power and were waiting to see the joke, but unexpectedly, he went out to welcome the young prince back to the palace, but instead he gained more attention. At least the young prince did not talk to others about private matters and only discussed them with him.
And this time when the young prince came back, it seemed to be different from usual.
He used to have a smile on his face all day long, but now his brows never relaxed.
The servants are also guessing privately, but no one knows the cause and effect.
At this moment, the young prince suddenly stopped and looked up at the guest room.
I saw an old man with white hair and beard carrying a medicine box walking out, and Manager Cui was following behind.
Xiao Yu stepped forward and asked: "Old sir, how are the people in the room doing?"
The old man twirled his beard and nodded slightly: "It's OK. His pulse is a little weak, which should be related to blood loss. I'll give him some prescriptions for nourishing blood and nourishing qi. After a few doses, he should be fine. I've also healed the wounds around him. After treatment, there is a bottle of golden sore medicine left on the table. Change the gauze every two days. Melt the golden sore medicine with the medicine and apply it on the wound. It has the effect of removing putrefaction and promoting muscle growth. After drying, wrap it with gauze. Repeat this for nine times. The wound will heal in the future, but if it doesn't work, come to me for treatment. This person's health is very good. If it were someone else, his life or death would be a matter of fate."
After hearing what the old man said, Xiao Yu finally let go of what he had been thinking about.
"Sir, can I come in now and take a look?"
"It's okay to wait for a while. The injured still needs to rest a lot. Don't overwork your body."
"Thank you very much, sir." Xiao Yu said and bowed.
The doctor hurriedly supported him: "Hey, the young prince is rich, how can he give such a great gift to me, a commoner?"
"The doctor is the greatest, how can I not accept it? If you come, I will pay you for the consultation."
I saw a boy walking over holding a tray with two ingots of gold on it.
When the doctor saw the consultation fee, he shook his head, stroking his beard and smiling.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu thought it was because the medical fee was low, and looked at Manager Cui.
Manager Cui seemed to know everything. He smiled and said to Xiao Yu:
"The young prince may not know about Dr. Xue. He is a famous doctor in Beijing. He has been helping people for decades. He never cares about poverty or wealth when treating diseases. He only looks at whether he is destined. Naturally, the same is true for collecting consultation fees. Either he will take nothing or hundreds of gold. Two, today I see that Meng Langzhong means that he won’t take any money.”
Xiao Yu blinked and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Is that really the case?"
Dr. Xue nodded: "If the young prince wants to see a doctor, it will cost him a hundred taels of gold. But the person on the sick bed is different. If he sees a doctor, Xue will not take any money."
"Mr. Xue, do you know the person on the bed?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Never recognized it."
Xiao Yu had a strange look on his face, but Doctor Xue stroked his beard and smiled. He didn't answer and walked straight out the door.
Manager Cui glanced at Xiao Yu and then chased Xue Langzhong to see him off.
Seeing those people leaving, Xiao Yu walked to the guest room.
When he was about to open the door, he saw Qingxue just walking out of the door. He was holding a wooden basin in his hand, which contained Liu Boxuan's blood-stained clothes.
"How is Uncle Liu Shi?" Xiao Yu asked softly.
Qingxue wiped the sweat from her face, smiled at Xiao Yu, and glanced into the room again.
"My young prince, General Liu's wound has just been treated, but there is no sign of waking up. Just now, Dr. Meng said that there is no serious problem. I believe that there will be no big problem."
Xiao Yu said warmly: "Okay, I'll go in and take a look first."
"Hey, young prince, you have to be gentle. Dr. Meng said not to make too much noise. General Liu needs to have a good rest."
"I know, go and do your work."
Xiao Yu said as he walked past Qingxue and quietly walked into the guest room.
Liu Boxuan was seen lying quietly on the couch. His clothes had been changed again, and a bandage could be faintly seen at the intersection of his collar.
It's just that his face still looks as white as paper, but the expression on his face is much more peaceful than before.
And the young man named Shi Hu was sitting on the ground leaning against the bed. He curled up and fell asleep like a kitten, but he still held Liu Boxuan's silver gun in his arms.
Xiao Yu thought his footsteps were very light, but before he had taken two steps, he saw Shi Hu suddenly opened his eyes.
He jumped up, the spear in his hand flying like a dragon, with a flash of silver light, and the tip of the spear suddenly pierced Xiao Yu's chest.
Xiao Yu was stunned by this sudden shot, and his body could not react at all.
Dendrobium on the other side suddenly exerted his strength before he could clearly see the person in front of him. It seemed that it was too late to reach for the pistol. He did a water dragon flip in the air, and then the strength was resolved.
But the tip of the spear had already reached Xiao Yu's brand new robe. He lifted it up and tore a large gash in the clothes, almost injuring his flesh.
The dendrobium fell to the ground while tumbling, knocking over the basin on one side and spilling water all over the floor.
Xiao Yu stood there in a daze, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
After the dendrobium stood up, he quickly knelt down and kept kowtowing, saying "wala wala" incomprehensibly.
The room that was supposed to be quiet suddenly became a mess.
At this time, Xiao Yu seemed to have come back to his senses, blinking his eyes.
But in my mind, I have been reminiscing about Dendrobium's spear stabbing in one go. It was so cool. That is the art of killing. It is really enviable to have such a unique skill.
Xiao Yu didn't know whether he was a martial arts fanatic or not. In short, when he read martial arts novels in the past, he felt extremely yearned for and envious of the heroes flying around and enjoying revenge.
But in modern society, there are no characters like those in martial arts novels. He has seen martial arts performances several times, but they have never been so superb.
So he believed that martial arts novels were all lies. There was no such thing as unparalleled martial arts and gang grievances in this world.
But today, he really has eyes.
The dendrobium in front of him is not a hero, but his spear skills are better than that of a hero.
The Dendrobium was kowtowing when someone suddenly held its shoulder.
When he raised his head, he saw the young prince squatting in front of him and looking at him, his face not only lifeless, but also smiling.
"Brother Dendrobium...right! Do you want to practice martial arts with me?"
