Spring Forest Evening

Shen Fu didn't close his eyes all night, and he had to go to court again the next morning. Before he went out, he told Mu Yun to stay in the mansion today and continue to send people out to search. If there is any situation, he can report to him at the yamen of the Ministry of War.

For this reason, Chen Feng, who was rarely going to court with his lord today, specially gave Mu Yun a sympathetic look before getting on his horse, although this kid still looked expressionless, one can imagine the pressure in his heart.

However, Chenfeng himself felt that Miss Biao didn't seem like an unreliable person, and with the spring rain following her, something important must have been delayed, but where is the capital city? !

For this reason, Chenfeng also disapproved of his lord's face as black as a pan, Miss Biao was not a three-year-old child, she was attacked and fell into the water on Liuhu Lake and survived by her own ability, what else could happen now?

Not only did Chen Feng think so, but he also boldly told his prince on the road behind him galloping up to the court. He thought it would bring some affirmation from Shen Fu. Dismounted in front of the palace gate, but was told:

"Now take a few people to guard the Yongning Gate in the south to see if there are any suspicious vehicles heading to Zhongnan Road... No, you go to Liuhu Lake and see if there is anything unusual there."

If Ah Heng really fell into the hands of the people on the side of the third princess, he would not look far away. The best way would definitely be to let her fall into Liuhu Lake again, which would just make things right.

Going to Liuhu Lake early in the morning?What strange situation?Chen Feng was dumbfounded.

"Move your brains!" Shen Fu felt the annoyance (anxiety) and anxiety (fear) in his heart almost gushing out, he said something without looking back, and threw the whip over, scaring Chen Feng Quickly took it with both hands.

"Brother, you are really too, the prince is in a bad mood, and you have been nagging him all the time!" Although the guards who followed along did not know what Chen Feng said to Shen Fu on the road, it was obvious that the few of them The brothers who followed him to court could tell that the prince didn't sleep well last night, and he was in a bad mood this morning, and Pian Chenfeng was still rushing to bother him.

Chenfeng can go to Liuhu to hide in peace later on by himself, but he has to follow the prince all day when he turns around, so it's not easy to bear.

In this regard, not to mention, it is true that Mu Yun is more responsible. Although he is stricter with his subordinates, he definitely knows how to measure it at this time.

Of course, it's best if Uncle He is here, the prince has never turned his face to Uncle He...

On Zhou Heng's side, she was woken up in the morning by the knock on the door of the guy who brought her the epiphyllum. Since it was outside the palace, the two girls went back to the nearby ephemera early last night after admiring the epiphyllum. The inn, tell the people in the garden, and ask them to deliver the two epiphyllums that they have paid for the next morning.

Looking at the two withered epiphyllums in an unpretentious wooden box, Zhou Heng was very satisfied. For this reason, he carefully spread his own veil under the epiphyllums before leaving. The reason is that when the carriage rides bumpy, Chun Yu feels his eyes opened again:

"How come, the flowers are so light, and they are used to make tea when I take them home." And they are still two withered flowers, why cherish them so much.

Zhou Heng ignored her, and just closed the small box happily and hugged it in his arms: "Oh, didn't you say that this is also a gift, let's talk about your heart, it still needs to have a good appearance!" The wooden box As soon as it was opened, there were two yellowish epiphyllum with light blue tinge on the gray veil, presumably they could barely catch Gao Fushuai's eyes, right?

Okay, we don't understand Miss Qianjin's world, Chun Yu pursed her lips and smiled, Miss Biao's waywardness is actually quite cute, and the prince will probably like it when he sees it later: "Okay, then let's quickly buy something for Chuntao to take back Bar!"

As a result, the two returned to the mansion happily against the rising sun. As soon as they got off the carriage at the gate of the mansion, the concierge ran out with a surprised expression on his face. The ugly Zhou Heng urged Chun Yu one after another:

"Hurry up, go to the outer study room, you two alarmed the prince yesterday afternoon, go quickly, Captain Mu Yun is waiting inside now!"

After all, she was still in front of the mansion, so she refrained from asking why the two of them didn't come back last night. Although they were just two maids, Chun Yu was not an ordinary maid. I heard that she had just engaged, and Madam Shen was the matchmaker. Well, the reputation of the girl's family is important, and you can't just talk about not coming back at night.

Zhou Heng and Chun Yu didn't expect to face such a situation when they returned home. They looked at each other after hearing what the concierge said, and Chun Yu was very surprised to ask him for confirmation:

"We were delayed by some things yesterday afternoon, but you sent someone back to deliver the letter, didn't you see anyone coming from your side?"

Got a negative answer.

The two looked at each other again, it seemed that something was wrong, it was not appropriate to say more in front of the concierge, Zhou Heng didn't even tell the concierge who he knew about his identity, so he hurried to the outer study to ask Mu What is the situation with the cloud?

As a result, when he saw Mu Yun when he entered the outer study room, the other party's first reaction was to immediately order a guard next to him: "Hurry up and go to the yamen of the Ministry of War to report to the prince, and say that Chun Yu and the others have returned safe and sound!"

Seeing that the guard got the order, turned around and walked out quickly, and took another look at Mu Yun's rather serious expression, Zhou Heng couldn't help but put away his smiling greeting and asked him: "You really didn't receive the letter yesterday?"

Of course not, Mu Yun shook her head.

Chun Yu suddenly panicked. Although Miss Biao decided to appreciate the epiphyllum at night, but she made the prince worry about it all night, so she was to blame. The man said, "Or, shall I go to the gate of the mansion to have a look again? Miss Biao, it is said that we made a special statement at that time, and the letter must be handed over to the concierge in person to get the reward."

Didn't the inn say that the person they found was very reliable, so reliable that they didn't even want a reward?Couldn't it be that I couldn't find a place when it was dark last night, so I'll send it over this morning?That should have been delivered too, the sun is getting a little hot now.

"Okay, you go to the door and wait and see." Zhou Heng said in his mouth, but he was not very hopeful in his heart. It was obvious why he deliberately explained to the person who delivered the letter yesterday evening that the concierge of Prince Jing's Mansion had to accept the letter before he could give the reward. The only thing is to let Shen Fu know about this before last night, now that the time has passed, it is meaningless to send the letter now, and the person who sent the letter must not be a fool.

So although Chun Yu looked at it as a fluke, Zhou Heng felt that it must be that the other party thought it was too troublesome at night and did not come. According to the current situation, he and Chun Yu did not return all night last night. Judging by the appearance of the guard and Mu Yun now It is conceivable that the palace must not be safe last night, and Shen Fu was also very worried. Before going to the yamen this morning, he must have told Mu Yun that he was waiting for his news.

That's right, now that the third princess is still watching in secret, if something happens to her, the Zhou family will not be able to explain it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng couldn't help tightening the wooden box in his hand, and asked Mu Yun cautiously: "Well, my lord, are you...a little angry?"

When I was a child, I had to report to my grandma when I went out for a visit, let alone in the ancient times when there was no communication, and it was still at night. One can imagine how angry Shen Fu would be.

He agreed to let himself come back when he was in Shenshi, and specially asked Chuntao to stand guard at the corner gate. Alas, poor Chuntao, I have to apologize to her later.

Chuntao's side is easy to talk about, but Shen Fu's side... Zhou Heng was a little worried, and didn't know how to face him in the afternoon.

Mu Yun didn't say much about this, but only said: "My lord didn't sleep much last night, so I was very worried about you."

Finished!

In desperation, Zhou Heng hoped that Chun Yu, who was going out to wait for someone, would be able to wait for the belated messenger as he wished, so that when he saw Shen Fu when he turned around, he would have something to say.

It's a pity that Chun Yu, who was more eager than her, waited in front of the mansion from morning to noon, and from noon until her prince returned to the mansion, but she still didn't wait for the messenger, so she had to salute and talk to Shen Fu after Shen Fu dismounted. After him he said:

"My lord, Miss Cousin is waiting for you in the study outside. Last night, I did send someone back to deliver the letter last night!"

It's a pity that before he finished speaking, Shen Fu had already left in a gust of wind.

And Zhou Heng, who was waiting at the door of the study outside early with the painting scroll and the small box with the epiphyllum in his hands, also watched Shen Fu in official uniform walk by in front of him, and just had time to say "I'm back" , I'm sorry, let me tell you—" I heard him say something to Chen Feng who was following behind: "Close the door!"

No way, how angry is this, Zhou Heng muttered to himself, originally he wanted to praise him for his handsome stone blue court uniform, and the dragon pattern embroidered on his shoulders and chest made him look even more majestic. Rin Rin, really!

Whispering and muttering, since he was so self-defeating, Zhou Heng felt that he still couldn't bear to follow in, so he handed the two things in his hand to the guard at the door: "Please give it to the prince later, just say yes I bought it last night, please don't be angry, I didn't expect this."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and waved to Chun Yu who was standing not far away, and the two went back to Liufeng Pavilion together, but they didn't know that the door of the outer study room was opened again soon behind them, and Chen Feng came out with a sound Without saying a word, he quickly took the scroll and box from the guard who was at a loss as to how to deal with these two hot potatoes.

Afterwards, Shen Fu looked at the paintings spread out on the desk and the opened box and remained silent. There was a picture of epiphyllum under the moon, two flowers that looked like withered epiphyllum, and his veil was placed underneath. What does this mean? ?

Does it mean that this unexpected encounter between me and her is like a flash in the pan?

Thinking of this, Shen Fu felt a rush of rage, picked up the teacup on the side and threw it on the ground.

With a bang, the tiles were torn apart.
