change."

Xue Bai asked: "Last time the prince chose to reconcile with Wei Shi? What about this time?"

"Although the second sister is just a good lady, she has a very good relationship with the prince."

Xue Bai hesitated for a moment, moved closer, and asked in a low voice: "Is the prince reliable?"

Du Wei said: "Don't worry, the prince is very reliable."

Xue Bai thought for a moment, and now he had no other option but to ask the prince for help.

During the rare moment of silence, Du Wulang sighed with emotion: "Hey, you are actually so capable?"

Xue Bai just pretended that he didn't know who he was asking and didn't answer in silence.

It was getting quieter at night, so the five of them huddled in this small room and rested all night.

At five o'clock in the morning, the street drums sounded, and the gates of Chang'an city and various squares opened one after another...

~~

Today's emperor strictly prohibited the royal family's heirs from participating in the government affairs, so they built large houses in Yongxingfang and Xingningfang in the northeast corner of Chang'an City, and let the princes live in separate houses for close care and strict training. They were called "Ten Princes' Houses".

Even the prince does not live in the East Palace to avoid having too much contact with the officials of the East Palace. He only has a separate courtyard in the ten princes' residences where carriages and horses can travel.

early morning.

Children chased each other under the willow trees on the street and sang songs.

"The jasper is as high as a tree, with thousands of green silk ribbons hanging down. I don't know who cut out the thin leaves. The spring breeze in February is like scissors."

A mule cart came from the south and passed through the cross street of Yongxingfang.

In the carriage, Qinglan said: "The prince's residence can be entered from the second alley in front..."

"I know that man." Du Wulang was looking out from the gap in the car curtain when he suddenly whispered, "He was there that day when Ji Dalang killed Duan Yan."

"Which one?"

"Among the people sitting under the flags in the tea shop, the one with prominent brow bones, deep eye sockets, and a face full of curly beards."

"I've seen them too." Liu Zhan said in surprise: "After Wulang's accident, they were hanging out outside our house."

Xue Bai observed for a while and said: "They are watching."

"Come to catch us?" Du Wulang asked, "What should we do?"

"..."

Xin Twelve sat outside the tea shop, scanning the streets with sharp eyes, following a mule cart as it walked away.

Last night, Wannian County Lieutenant went to Du's house to check. According to the register, he found that Du Wulang and a maid were missing. When the news came, he already knew who he was looking for.

A man dressed as a beggar came up and whispered: "The prince's honor guard left through the side door."

"Put it on and see clearly where he is going." Xin Twelve called two more people and said, "You guys should go too. Once you see the prince meeting someone, report it to Alang immediately."

"yes."

Arrangements were made here. From the other side of the long street, a handsome young gentleman came with his maid Shi Shi Ranran. He turned into the alley and went in the direction of the Prince's Courtyard.

"Someone passed by."

Xin Twelve squinted his eyes slightly, shook his head, and said: "He is neither Du Wulang nor a lackey of the East Palace."

"Then still take it?"

"Look again."

Xin Twelve could see that the young man was wearing a bright fox fur coat and walked calmly. He was obviously from a wealthy family.

He was looking for evidence, but he needlessly offended the nobles in Chang'an City.

In sight, the young man stood with his hands behind his back, while the maid talked to the guard and handed the concierge a jade pendant.

After a while, the concierge came back with the jade pendant, handed it back with both hands, and invited him in.

"He went in?"

"If the prince is not here, who can he see?"

"Du Liangdi, how dare anyone dare to meet Du Liangdi?"

"what to do?"

"Just follow him when he comes out. It would be better not to come out." Xin Twelve then thought about it and sneered: "No one can escape if they are involved in the Du Youlin case... Also, the mule cart just now

Where? Go find it."

~~

The prince's residence looks very simple. There are no flowers or trees in the courtyard, and there is an empty sandy area.

Xue Bai and Qing Lan waited in the front yard for a while, and a maid trotted over.

"Qushui." Qinglan called with a tearful tone.

"What happened?" Qu Shui asked anxiously, but before Qinglan could answer, he led them inside, "Second Mother wants to see you...over here."

Xue Bai and Qing Lan took off their shoes, and she led them through the corridor, and finally sat down in a small side hall.

"Wait a moment, my second mother will be here soon."

"Thank you."

Xue Bai looked at Qushui and ran away in a hurry, and asked Qinglan in a low voice: "Caiyun Qinglan, drinking Qushui?"

"Well, Liu Shang and Qushui are maids born into the family, while Caiyun and I were sold to the Du family when we were young."

It was inconvenient to ask more questions at this time, so Xue Bai glanced at the furnishings in the side hall, and imitated the way Du Wulang did when he occasionally studied, he knelt down, straightened his waist, put his hands on his legs, and looked straight.

Qing Lan didn't know what to do since the accident. She had long lost her maid-like demeanor and stood by the door waiting anxiously.

Not long after, someone came over from the corridor, and she quickly saluted.

"This slave has met Er Niang."

Hearing the commotion, Xue Bai turned around and saw a lady in full dress entering the side hall. She had tall clouds and a hairpin on her temples. She was wearing a silk shirt and her neck and chest were exposed in the cold weather.

A piece of white greasy.

She has a graceful figure. She is plump where she should be, but she does not lose her figure. She has just the right curves.

It wasn't until Xue Bai met Prince Liangdi and Du Erniang that he realized the beauty of this Tang Dynasty robe and skirt, which was half-covered by snow.

Thinking again of what Aunt Du said, "The second mother and the prince have a good relationship", he nodded slightly.

I just hope that the prince is still willing to protect the Du family for her.

It’s not good to publish too many new books in the new book issue, so as not to exceed the word count and miss out on the recommended spots for new books, so it’s usually 4,000 words a day. Recently, I have two chapters a day, and the average one chapter is 4,000 words. I’m afraid of missing out on subsequent recommendations.
