Return to the Royal Garden.
I met Emperor Chen.
Two sisters, Chen Keyan and Chen Keyao, gathered around Su Xian and went to play in the peach blossom forest, just like two female bodyguards.
Soon, it was approaching noon.
Emperor Chen ordered a banquet for young men and women in the imperial garden.
The banquet room was full of laughter and laughter.
Su Xian came as a guest and received the most attention...
After the banquet, everyone left the palace one after another, and the half-day "blind date meeting" finally came to a successful conclusion.
Su Xian found that these young men and women seemed to be a little reluctant to part with each other, secretly sizing each other up, and flirting... If Emperor Chen did this, he would probably bring together more than a dozen new couples.
However, the blind date conference must end.
Because Emperor Chen was seriously ill after all, he was already tired and exhausted after playing outside for half a day.
After Chen Keyan, Chen Keyao, Su Xian and others escorted Emperor Chen back to the palace, Su Xian took advantage of the opportunity to say goodbye——
He planned to set off north to return to Daliang tomorrow. In order not to affect Emperor Chen's rest, he would not disturb the palace tomorrow.
"It's not easy for the Lieutenant to come here, so let's play for a few more days. I'll let Yan'er and Yaoyao accompany you." Emperor Chen smiled, with a kind face, and he had already seen some clues with his deep eyes.
Chen Keyan and Chen Keyao also stayed as guests.
Su Xian bowed to each other and said: "Your Majesty and the two princesses' thoughts are with me, but I am really busy with official duties and I really have to go back tomorrow."
Emperor Chen finally nodded and sighed:
"That being the case, I won't force you to stay. However, if Taiwei has free time, he can go to Nanchen to play at any time. I am inconvenient, but Yan'er and Yaoyao are both free."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Foreign ministers will definitely come here often."
After paying obeisance to Emperor Chen again, Su Xian and the others left the palace of Emperor Chen.
On the way out of the palace, Su Xian had a lot of thoughts. Emperor Chen had already been seriously ill. I was afraid that... the next time he came to Nanchen, he would attend Emperor Chen's funeral!
And, it shouldn’t be too far away!
Thinking of this, Su Xian felt quite emotional. Overall, Emperor Chen was a good person.
Because he trained two fairies, Chen Keyan and Chen Keyao.
Of course, it's not just that. Although Emperor Chen was indecisive, he valued affection and righteousness. Su Xian had met several emperors, but he was most relaxed when getting along with Emperor Chen.
Even when facing Empress Daliang, he could feel the coercion of "accompanying the emperor like accompanying a tiger".
But here in Chen Di, I can hardly feel anything...
Su Xian was thinking about it when the Chen sisters walking in front suddenly stopped. Su Xian subconsciously followed and stopped. Just as he was waiting to ask, he heard Chen Keyan say:
"Yao Yao, you have wasted most of the day today, and you have not even worshiped the Buddha. Now go back home quickly, otherwise it will not be effective."
After Su Xian heard this, he saw that there was a fork in the road ahead, leading to Princess Wu's Mansion on one side and Princess Yue's Mansion on the other, and he vaguely understood what Chen Keyan was thinking.
What a "sister-protecting maniac"!
But unexpectedly, I met a sister who was worried...
Su Xian looked sideways and found that Chen Keyan was a little unsure. She probably thought that Chen Keyao would not give in and go back home...
However, what surprised Chen Keyan was that she, who had always been playful and Su Xian was around, did not mess around, but nodded and said:
"What the imperial sister said is true, then I will go back home now."
After speaking to Sister Huang, Chen Keyao looked at Su Xian again, obediently made a Wanfu salute, and said, "Goodbye, brother Su, Yaoyao will go back first."
"Princess, walk slowly."
Su Xian also wondered, why did Chen Keyao... suddenly become so obedient?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
After a second thought, Su Xian figured out that the reason why Chen Keyao was so obedient was not that she had become good, but that... she had to go back to make preparations!
What to prepare?
Of course it’s preparation for elopement!
Su Xian had a headache when he thought about the elopement. If Chen Keyao really succeeded and went to Daliang with him... what would be the reactions of Emperor Chen and Chen Keyan?
I don’t know how Emperor Chen will react, but Chen Keyan will definitely go crazy!
For Su Xian, both Emperor Chen and Chen Keyan treated him as a distinguished guest, but he... kidnapped their good daughter and sister, which was simply too unkind!
While hesitating, Su Xian caught a glimpse of Chen Keyan's eyes as she looked at her sister's retreating back from the corner of her eye, she was so full of wisdom...
hiss!
Su Xian's eyes lit up.
I suddenly felt confident.
Chen Keyao's elopement plan may be ruined!
But this is good, lest he be accused of "kidnapping another country's princess" in the future.
…
Return to Princess Chen Keyan's mansion.
In the afternoon, Su Xian did nothing but perfected their plan together in Chen Keyan's study.
For example, how to control the imperial city, how to control the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, how to deploy troops and generals, how to deal with emergencies, etc., everything is detailed...
After dark, Su Xian went back to his room early to rest because he had to travel tomorrow.
…
…
The next day.
Early in the morning.
When the sun rose, Su Xian was ready and walked to the door of the mansion with Yang Zhilan, Zhou Wei and others.
Behind Zhou Wei were a dozen guards, carrying large and small bags. In addition to luggage, there were also Nanchen local products prepared by Su Xian. They could be used as gifts for Lan Ling, Tang Shuwan and other girls when they returned to Daliang.
"Are the carriages and ships ready?" Su Xian asked casually on the way.
"Junior brother, don't worry, we are all ready." Zhou Wei said with a smile.
"That's good..." Su Xian nodded. At this moment, a woman dressed as a maid ran towards him. After a closer look, she turned out to be Chen Keyan's personal maid Bi'er.
"I've met Mr. Su." Bi'er ran up to Su Xian and knelt down to salute.
"Where's your princess? Yesterday she said she was going to give me a ride, why haven't she seen her yet?" Su Xian asked with a smile.
"Young Master Rongzhen, His Highness... has an urgent matter at the moment and must deal with it immediately. We cannot send the Young Master out of the city. Your Highness feels very guilty..."
"It's okay, it's understandable. In that case, let's set off now." Su Xian waved his hand and walked away with Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei.
Something came out? What can happen? I'm afraid this is an "infighting" between the two sisters... Su Xian thought in his heart as he walked forward.
With Chen Keyan's intelligence, there is no problem in crushing Chen Keyao. Oh, poor Chen Keyao, just waiting to be caught in the urn!
Su Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head.
But then, he put this emotion behind——
It's good that Chen Keyao failed, so as to save trouble.
Because even if they succeeded in hiding it from Emperor Chen and Chen Keyan and took Na Nizi to Daliang, how to explain it to Tang Shuwan and the others would be another problem!
A trip to Nanchen brought back another woman.
That's really yellow mud falling into your crotch... you can't even wash it off if you jump into the Yellow River!
So, Yaoyao, Yaoyao, for your own good and mine, everyone, you should fail!
Su Xian thought to himself.
Soon I came out of the princess mansion.
As expected, there were many carriages and horses parked on the street in front of the house. The horses kept pawing the ground with their hooves and snorting, as if they were impatient to wait.
Without Su Xian's instructions, the accompanying guards spontaneously carried the luggage, souvenirs, etc. into the car one by one and tied them up with rope locks... This process took a certain amount of time.
Su Xian stopped in front of the carriage, turned around, and looked at Bi'er who was following him all the way out: "Send Miss Bi'er here. Your princess is busy, and you are her right-hand man."
Bi'er hesitated for a while, then finally turned around and returned home.
After watching Bi'er return home, Su Xian looked at the guards who were loading luggage and souvenirs, and thought to himself that they might not be able to leave so soon.
Looking sideways, I saw the carriage parked there, and thought, why not get in the carriage and rest for a while? He woke up a little early today, and he felt like he hadn't slept enough...
Su Xian got on the carriage with one foot, and at the same time he bowed his waist and used his hands to lift the curtain of the carriage. At this time, he thought in his mind:
"I wonder how that girl Chen Keyao is doing? Could it be that...she has been caught by her imperial sister? Hey, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Chen Keyao's disappointed look. It's really a pity."
Just as he was shaking his head, Su Xian opened the curtain.
To his great surprise, the carriage was not empty... there was actually a person hiding in it!
Su Xian was stunned on the spot, dumbfounded. The hand that lifted the curtain was suspended in the air, and his posture of bending at the waist and driving with one foot was instantly fixed.
The person in the carriage is none other than someone else. She is petite, has a round face, and big, bright eyes. She is... Chen Keyao!
Why did this girl appear in his car?
Ten thousand question marks popped up in Su Xian's mind.
"Shh!"
Chen Keyao hurriedly hid behind the curtain, her index finger raised in front of her lips, her movements and expressions were very exaggerated, and she was also very nervous, for fear that Su Xian would suddenly scream...
Although Su Xian was surprised, he didn't scream out loud. He still had some concentration.
But he kept squatting in front of the carriage door and refused to enter, and the curtain was always opened... This made Chen Keyao anxious, and she hurriedly lowered her voice and shouted:
"Brother Su, come in quickly, come in quickly..."
As she spoke, she pulled Su Xian's sleeves gently with her little hands, not daring to use too much force. Her big clear eyes were full of prayer and eagerness.
Su Xian's heart suddenly softened, he kicked his legs and got into the car directly.
Chen Keyao smiled excitedly and hurriedly closed the curtain, then turned around, pulled Su Xian to the back of the carriage, and said, "Brother Su, this way, please sit here."
Su Xian followed Shan Ruliu. After sitting down, he looked at Chen Keyao who looked attentive, proud, ecstatic and excited, and asked, "Why are you in my car?"
"This is my plan, hahahaha, hide secretly in Brother Su's car, leave the city without anyone noticing, and then cross the river and head north with Brother Su!"
Chen Keyao smiled from ear to ear.
She did not sit down, but squatted next to Su Xian's legs, her eyes dancing with joy. She thought she had deceived everyone and was proud of her intelligence.
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Su Xian asked.
"I have considered this, but this is Brother Su's carriage. Who dares to stop it? Even the soldiers guarding the city dare not get on the carriage to check..."
Chen Keyao was so excited that she simply sat cross-legged on the ground, holding one of Su Xian's calves with both hands, looked up at Su Xian and asked, "Brother Su, do you think so?"
"You are so awesome!" Su Xian praised, then asked again: "But, your imperial sister can board my carriage. If she comes, wouldn't you be discovered?"
"Sister Royal..."
As soon as Chen Keyao heard the word "Emperor Sister", the smile on her face suddenly froze. She held Su Xian's calf with both hands and subconsciously pulled hard, driving her whole delicate body straight towards...
Su Xian tugged the corner of his mouth fiercely, leaned over and lowered his head, accurately pressed Chen Keyao's beaded head with one hand, and shouted: "What are you doing?"
】
Chen Keyao didn't think there was anything wrong. He regained his confidence in the blink of an eye and said, "Brother Su, don't worry. I have also considered this and found a solution."
"What can I do?" Su Xian looked curious.
"..."
after a little while.
Su Xian finally understood what her so-called "method" was.
Eh!
He sighed, looked down, and shouted: "Come out, your imperial sister didn't come, so it's not a big deal if you keep hiding. Also, don't you... feel bored?"
"No, it's safer to hide. If the imperial sister comes, you won't be in a hurry." Chen Keyao's voice was muffled.
Su Xian grinned and refused to say anything else. He opened the hem of his long and spacious robe, then picked up the disobedient Chen Keyao and dragged her out.
"Brother Su..." This girl still felt aggrieved, and pretended to be pitiful with her big eyes.
But Su Xian didn't let go, he directly lifted her up, sat her down on the seat next to her, and said seriously:
"Your method is okay for emergency use, but you can't stay there all the time. After all, you and I are different between men and women, so this is not good."
"But... I'm just a child, not an adult. Adults pay attention to the differences between men and women!" Chen Keyao defended, mumbling.
Su Xian glared: "If you talk nonsense again, I will throw you out."
Chen Keyao was startled and didn't dare to speak any more. If Brother Su really threw her out, wouldn't the secret be exposed? It wouldn't be good.
The carriage was quiet for a while.
Su Xian suddenly thought of another question:
"By the way, after the carriage arrives at the pier, we all have to get off the bus and transfer to the big ship, and you...won't you be discovered by your imperial sister once you get off the bus?"
Chen Keyao smiled mysteriously, full of confidence.
But just when she was about to speak, Chen Keyan's voice came from outside the car: "Where is the young master in the car? I have something to do, and I need to talk to the young master face to face..."
Before he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps boarding the car could be heard outside.
The carriage also sank slightly.
"not good!"
Chen Keyao's expression changed drastically. She didn't expect that the imperial sister would really come. She hesitated for a while, then suddenly remembered the emergency method just now, so she hurriedly knelt down...
The muscles at the corner of Su Xian's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he witnessed all Chen Keyao's movements with his own eyes.
He really wanted to...kick Chen Keyao away.
However, he did not move after all... After a moment, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and Chen Keyan walked in with a smile on her face. At the same time, the hem of his robe was just closed, covering it tightly.
Chen Keyan didn't notice anything unusual. After entering the carriage, she lowered the curtain and walked to sit next to Su Xian.
Su Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but... always felt a little uncomfortable. He looked at Chen Keyan and asked: "Isn't His Highness busy? Why do you have time to come here?"
Chen Keyan did not answer directly, but glanced down at Su Xian's robe, with a kind of suspicion in her eyes... her eyes were burning.
Oops!
Su Xian's heart tightened. Could she have discovered something?
If she finds out that her biological sister is hiding... she will definitely go crazy!
Su Xian had a headache and felt a little regretful. He should have thrown Chen Keyao off the carriage just now, but now it's too late...
Fortunately, there was nothing unusual about Chen Keyan. She stared at Su Xian's robe and looked away, smiling: "No matter how busy I am, I have to come to see the young master for the last time. I won't send the young master out of the city later. "
