Spring Forest Evening

Fortunately, just as he was about to reach the edge of the lotus bushes, there was a barking sound from a dog in the distance, which pulled Zhou Heng back a little: "Little shadow?!" There is no danger, so I quickly turned around and walked back towards the water pavilion.

When she got to the side of the water platform, she could faintly see it in the twilight. It really was the little black dog who had been living with her in Liufeng Pavilion these days, and there was no one following her.

Touching the puppy's soft body with both hands, and being licked by its little tongue from time to time, Zhou Heng felt that he was alive again.

One person and one dog made out for a while, and the sky was completely dark, but with such a cute little animal as company, Zhou Heng's spirit improved, so he raised his head and fed lotus seeds to the little shadow While whispering to it:

"Little Shadow, did you let yourself in through that dog hole? Why didn't Chuntao come in with you? You see, you all knew to come to save me. Although you couldn't save me, you did your best. Hmph, Heartless Shen Fu, aren't you a majestic Prince Jing? Why can't you come back when your own house is on fire? You have no ability! I spit on you!"

After chattering for a while, the little black dog lay down on the water table enjoying Zhou Heng's touch and fell asleep.

"Hey, you have no heart, listen to me again!" Zhou Heng sighed, took a lotus leaf to cover the little shadow, and looked blankly at the sky above his head and muttered to himself: "Shen Fu, when are you coming back? Is something wrong with you?"

...

Shen Fu, whose name has been repeated all the time, is actually already in the mansion at this moment, covering his mouth and sneezing constantly. Seeing Shen Yi next to him, she quickly asked the maid to rush to the kitchen: "Just let the bowl of ginger soup come over , why is it still not good?"

And asked Mu Yun next to him to get another coat: "It must have been driving through the rain and getting cold, alas, you too, anyway, things happened, since it's raining so hard over the palace, take it easy Come back again, I'm in the mansion!"

Shen Fu raised his hand to stop Mu Yun from taking the clothes, and said to Shen Yi in a low voice: "Sister, since I'm back, you should go back, if Ah Hua can't find you, the food won't be good .”

These words made Shen Yi laugh: "You still think about him! Children's families, they will naturally know to eat when they are hungry. There are a lot of maids and wives. It will be the same if I go back later!"

While talking, he looked at the third princess who was drinking tea with a smile on his face: "Third princess, you worked hard last night, and you came here on purpose today. Now Afu has returned, and the people from the Water Dragon Bureau are here. After two days, everything has been sorted out, and we will go to the palace to thank you and the empress dowager!"

"Sister Yi, you are too polite." The third princess put down the teacup, and now she was wearing a goose-yellow palace dress. Looking at it under the light, her every move and gesture was full of grace and luxury. And she looks heroic, like the noble lady of the Tian family: "Since you also said that I was in the mansion last night, and now the people from the Water Dragon Bureau want to ask about the situation, it is better for me to be there."

All right, you can wait or not, anyway, Ah Fu hasn't looked at you since you came in!

Reminiscent of my speculation about the whole thing in the morning, and then contacting the fact that the third princess came here just now while her younger brother was returning home, and the people from the Water Dragon Bureau followed her in fear and said that she happened to be bumped into on the same road, Shen Yishen Feeling that the third princess came in a bad way, she didn't insist any more, and just exchanged glances with Shen Fu:

"Since that's the case, A Fu, you talk here first, I'll get someone to prepare bath for you, and when the matter is almost finished, you should hurry back to the main room, take a good soak in the hot soup, and rest early at night , your body needs to be tight!"

Shen Fu kneaded his brows in response, and seemed to be a little tired. The officer from the Water Dragon Bureau next to him heard Xiange's meaning, asked him a few words about the construction conditions of Liufeng Pavilion and Wanqing Courtyard, and made an appointment with him tomorrow morning. Then came to investigate the scene, and then quickly bowed and retreated, leaving only the third princess, who seemed to be sitting there without knowing it, drinking tea.

Shen Yi is a little anxious, what are the three princesses thinking?

Fortunately, the ginger soup finally arrived at this time, and the kitchen staff were generous. There were three big bowls in the food box, so they hurriedly brought a bowl to Shen Fu, and Shen Fu took it with one hand and drank it down. It was given to Mu Yun and another guard. Anyway, the rest of the people who set out together in the palace don't know where they are still, and they probably won't be able to enter the city tonight.

Shen Fu hurried back all the way, his black horse, the divine steed, was enough to take care of Mu Yun and the others. Even so, after drinking the ginger soup, Mu Yun still felt that he should go to bed early when he went back. Traveling is really tiring.

But my lord is in such a hurry to hurry, I can understand it when I think about it, although the guards sent by Chenfeng said that the people in Liufeng Pavilion are fine, but there is a cousin inside after all, thinking of what happened in Liuhu, the lord is also there Reasonable.

Seeing that Shen Fu had finished drinking the ginger soup, Shen Yi was hesitating whether she should take advantage of what she just said about Mu Tang to hint that the third princess was about to leave, but Shen Fu suddenly said: "What's the matter with the princess?" Do you want to ask the king?"

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her younger brother to be so direct and polite.

The third princess was also taken aback for a moment, then put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "I don't want to ask you anything, Ah Fu, I just want to apologize to you."

These words made Shen Yi stunned again. After looking at Shen Fu, she found a chair and sat down. The third princess wants to apologize to her brother?Then listen to it!

Shen Fu raised his head in astonishment, with a serious face: "Why did the princess say that?"

The third princess smiled and said: "It's the two concubines in your house. If I came sooner, I might be able to rescue them. Alas, what a pity!"

Seeing that Shen Fu was silent, he smiled apologetically at Shen Yi, and then talked about Liufeng Pavilion: "There is also the side of Shangyun Pool. I heard that only two of the three maids escaped. How is one now—”

This was what Shen Yi told people to spread after hearing the words of Nanny Shen and Chun Yu at the time. After all, if you want to see people, you must see dead bodies. Zhou Heng will not show up until Shen Fu comes back. After all, his status is special, so it is still vague. Past as well.

Now when I heard the third princess ask, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, and answered a little eagerly:

"Yes, but, after all, facing the large expanse of water in Shangyun Pond, even if you escaped from Liufeng Pavilion at that time, in the panic, you might have slipped into the water with one foot, otherwise I haven't found it until now, I'm afraid... Ah Fu, don't you think so?" After speaking, he exchanged glances with his younger brother, the siblings have had a tacit understanding for many years, presumably he can understand what he means.

Sure enough, Shen Fu then nodded and said:

"Those two concubines have been with me for quite some time. After this disaster, apart from a generous burial, the palace will give their families an explanation when the investigation by the Water Dragon Bureau is completed. As for the missing maid at the Liufeng Pavilion... What my sister said is that most of the bad luck is bad, I will ask Shen Momo to check the situation in her family later, and just give some more money!"

It can be regarded as an answer to the two questions of the third princess, but when she said it, she looked indifferent and didn't care much about it. Asked with concern:

"It seems that I must have entered the cold air, Ah Fu, but is the headache severe?"

While walking over to rub his temples for him, he turned his head and asked the third princess with the same concern: "Princess, are you still staying at the second prince's mansion tonight?"

At first, I thought I was apologizing for the forced entry into Prince Jing’s mansion last night, but I co-authored it to take credit for myself and to test Shen Fu’s feelings for those two concubines and even Liu Fenggeheng’s cousin. Hmph, the third princess Sure enough, he had bad intentions!

After Shen Yi's brilliant words, the third princess finally stood up as she wished: "No, I don't think there will be any heavy rain in the next few days. I'd better go back to the palace. The queen mother should miss me!" Said to Shen Fu who closed his eyes and let Shen Yi press for him: "In that case, you should rest early!"

Shen Fu opened his eyes after hearing this, and while waving his hands to signal Shen Yi to stop, he stood up and saluted the three princesses:

"The princess really doesn't need to blame herself. As the eldest sister said, after two days, the king should go to the palace to thank him. It's just that it's getting late today. After traveling for half a day, the king is also a little tired and tired. Please forgive me for being negligent. Mu Yun, send some people to send the princess back to the palace safely!"

The third princess didn't have a smile on her face at the moment, she waved her hand to stop Mu Yun who was about to go forward: "No, I brought someone with me when I came here."

Even so, the Shen family sister and brother personally sent the third princess to the carriage, and watched the carriage disappear at the end of the long street before turning back to the mansion together.

Afterwards, Shen Yi just wanted to lament to her younger brother about the behavior of the three princesses, but she saw that Shen Fu had strode forward, and vaguely heard him still whispering to Mu Yun.

"It seems that A Fu was trying his best to endure just now, and now he can't wait to pick up Cousin Heng, and I don't know what secret place he hid her in!" Curiosity arose, and Shen Yi quickly followed go up...
