Scheming Princess

Chapter 3

Compared to the prince"s hesitation, Tang Yun recognized him at a glance.

The shofar lamp under her feet shone into her eyes, reflecting two scorching flames. The surprise in her eyes flashed past her eyes too late to hide, and then she came back to her senses and hurriedly bent over, " Your Highness. "

　　Hearing this sound, the wooden stick in the hands of the mammy behind him suddenly softened.

The yard that Tang Yun rented was dilapidated and the door frame was low. The prince took a step forward and was about to hand over the wooden box in his hand, but Tang Yun, who was standing at the threshold, stepped back two steps one after another to make way for him.

The old courtyard was already small, and as soon as the prince came in, the room became even more crowded.

A desk, two high stools, and a fragrant concubine stool.

Clean is quite clean, but compared with the yard of her mansion before, it is worlds apart. Even if the prince knows that she is in a difficult situation, seeing it with his own eyes, there is still a gap.

Tang Yun was still the prince of Hou Mansion, she visited her courtyard countless times.

Not to mention the size, the layout of the house alone, the fragrance of birds and flowers, is extravagant and luxurious.

He took another look at the faded wooden stool beside him.

really tough...

prince lifted his gaze from the wooden bench, he caught a glimpse of Tang Yun"s dodging gaze, remembering her previous decency, and finally sat down and asked in a warm voice, " I heard today that you went to Wanfu Qianzhuang. "

Tang Yun picked up the teapot on the table and was preparing tea when she heard the words, she hurriedly put down the teapot and apologized, " It"s really a helpless move, and I moved the same highness..."

　　" It doesn"t matter. " The prince didn"t expect to scare her, and he did n"t expect that she had become so timid after only six years of absence.

The little face turned white.

prince gently stretched out his hand, touched her arm lightly, lifted it up, and said with a smile, " It should be yours. "

Six years ago, Tang Yun followed the prince to the palace hunting for the last time. There was only one prey in the audience. One of them shot the rabbit in the head and the other shot in the heart.

　　No one could tell the difference, and afterward, they gave each other humility. It was Tang Yun who came up with an idea to save the 100 taels of silver notes from the reward in Wanfu Qianzhuang.

The name of the prince is kept, and the key is kept by Tang Yun.

mere 100 taels of silver was nothing to the two of them at that time, but it was just for fun.

Six years later, the crown prince is still the crown prince, and still looks down on the one hundred taels of silver, but Tang Yun is different. The Tang family was copied and she has no money. One hundred taels of silver can save her life.

prince only heard the news at dusk, and he may not be able to help with the other things, but he can still give the one hundred taels of silver.

The prince gave her the wooden box and put it on the desk.

Now that everyone has come, Tang Yun"s current situation, as a prince and a brother who has been close to each other for several years, he can"t say anything, " Brother Tang, there is no need to worry, the money is not enough, I will send someone to speak with the orphan.. ”

　　This sounds good, but it"s not practical.

Who can be bad.

She is the daughter of a criminal minister, how could she have delivered the news to the palace. If she hadn"t moved the idea of the wooden box of the bank, the people of the bank would not have been able to find him.

Tang Yun was quite moved, and said, " Thank you, Your Highness, " and carefully handed the bamboo teacup in his hand to him.

prince glanced at the teacup and didn"t move.

eyes fell on the hands that were pushed over. The slender fingers were white and delicate, like eggs that had been peeled off their shells.

Yes.

She is a girl.

Seeing that she had been standing in front of him, the prince had not been seated, his fingernails were about to break his palm, and he felt a little pity and said softly, " Master Tang"s case is a bit tricky. "

Little did they know that when this sentence fell, the person on the opposite side dropped golden beans.

　　changed.

Ever since Tang Yun stumbled and learned to walk, he had never seen her cry, even if she fell off the horse and her knees were b****y, he had never seen her cry once.

It is conceivable that six years can really change a person, especially from a little boy to a slim girl.

　　" This matter is about the Sheji, the saint is angry, he has tried a few times, but he can"t get in..." The prince showed a hint of regret, and tried to keep his voice as soft as possible, for fear of scaring her.

Even so, the golden bean on the opposite face was still falling silently.

　　Really cried.

prince took back the sentence of exile in time, and then comforted, " It"s not that there is no turning point. If the prisoners who have left the city are found and the innocence of Lord Tang is cleared, the sage will naturally give justice to the Tang family. "

　　This is the same as what he said just now, going to the palace to find him, doesn"t it mean the same thing.

How is that possible.

The prisoners have all left the city, where can they go to find them?

　　" His Royal Highness..." Tang Yun raised her head in a panic, her eyes were full of tears, and water beads filled their sockets. Son.

　　This look is exactly the same as Xiao Shunzi in his room, but Xiao Shunzi secretly smeared it with rouge, which she seems to be born with.

But he came here today just to give away the one hundred taels of silver, and he had no other intentions.

prince smiled apologetically, " Brother Tang, don"t be too worried, rest early, and when there is news, Gu will send someone to inform Brother Tang. "

Kang knew that the Tang family was about to be sentenced to exile. As the prince of a country, how could he not know it.

Seeing the unbelief in Tang Yun"s eyes, and knowing that her attitude is perfunctory, there are some things that don"t need to be said. A burden in the mother"s arms.

　　At this time, the master and servant have packed up their burdens, what else can they do.

The prince"s footsteps paused slightly, realizing that most of the time he came tonight was not the right time.

However, when it is too late.

Crown Prince was about to turn around and turn a blind eye, when Ruan Mamma in front of him seemed to be frightened by his glance, " Putong " knelt down and said in a trembling voice, " His Royal Highness, it"s none of the girl"s business, it"s all a servant, a servant. Fear of death..."

A remote old courtyard, quiet at night.

　　As soon as Mammy"s voice fell, the room was so quiet that you could hear needles falling.

The prince"s footsteps were fixed there, neither walking nor not going. After a while, he turned his head to look at Tang Yun, and had to ask as his prince, " Tang brother, where are you going? "

　　Although it was a questioning, the tone was not stern, and there was even a faint smile in the corner of his eyes.

prince thought that both his face and his tone of voice were extremely gentle. He was a smart person who knew that he intended to expose it and knew how to answer it.

　　Tang Yun, who was on the opposite side, did not speak for a long time.

The prince didn"t know what she was thinking, what she should do and what she could do, wasn"t all this already given to her? Just wondering, Tang Yun suddenly took two steps towards him, reaching out and grabbing his sleeve.

　　The wide black cuffs tightened slightly with her movements.

prince stared at the too tender little hand under his sleeve, and suddenly bent his lips and smiled, thinking that she might have misunderstood her meaning.

The crime of collaborating with the enemy, how could he be able to control, " lonely..."

　　" Brother Ling. "

　　The prince "s single name is " Ling " and the word is Yu"an.

Tang Yun was five years old, he was eight years old.

　　In order to show his eldest brother"s demeanor, he patted his chest and said to her, " You call Gu Gu, Brother Ling, and Gu will cover you in the future. "

　　Who still remembers the rotten millet of Chen sesame.

prince lifted his eyelids without a word, and met a pair of pityful eyes again.

The dark red eyes are as bright as cuckoos, the lips are pink and tender, and they are tightly pressed, and the golden beans are hanging on the smooth chin, falling down with a " pat -ta-ta-ta "...

The prince"s eyebrows were barely noticeable, and it was indeed pitiful.

But he could n"t help it.

Beneath his warm and jade-like skin hides a cold and thin heart, and he has no sympathy.

prince looked away and lightly tugged at his sleeve.

Did not move.

　　" Don..."

　　" From now on, I"ll listen to Brother Ling. " The voice was as soft as a cat, soft and glutinous, and he scratched his ear unpreparedly. For a moment, his heartbeat slowed down a bit.

Prince:...

　　This, how do you want him to be good?

　　*

has been guarding outside the door, has not seen anyone come out for a long time, and is very puzzled.

just went in, His Highness only said to hand over something and then came out. It had been half an hour, but no one came out. He was anxiously hooking his neck and poking inside. Finally, there was movement in the yard.

Not only did his master come out, but he also brought a girl with him, and the girl was followed by a woman.

Eunuch Ming"s spirit trembled, " His Royal Highness..." This is the eldest girl of the Tang family, the master is sure that he did not bring the wrong person...

　　" Get in the car. "

　　*

　　The wheel of the car rolled and left the courtyard gate for a long distance before Tang Yun"s heart finally calmed down.

in letting Mother Ruan run and lie down during the day.

Tang family was guilty of collaborating with the enemy, and she was the daughter of a criminal minister. Even if the two had such a friendship in the past, as the crown prince of a country, they might not necessarily help.

The two have not seen each other for six years.

After finally looking forward to the stars and the moon, how could she let him leave so easily, Tang Yun"s ears felt hot for a while when she remembered her behavior.

　　After all, she had never been so brave to take the initiative to pull a man"s sleeve.

　　Even if that person used to be a " brother " with himself.

Along the way, Tang Yun"s gaze couldn"t help but secretly glanced to the side a few times.

The two have not seen each other for six years, and now there is a difference between men and women, and the topic of the past has long since disappeared. Shortly after getting in the car, the prince said to her, " Squint your eyes for a while. " Take a nap.

　　In the spacious space, there is one more person, and the prince is not used to it.

　　His head turned to and fro, and he always felt an unfamiliar fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose, disturbing him, and he couldn"t sleep peacefully.

When they reached the East Palace, the carriage stopped, the prince opened his eyes, his face was a little tired, but he did not forget to instruct Tang Yun, " rest early. " But he didn"t say how to arrange her.

Tang Yun didn"t even ask, it was her good fortune to be able to go to the East Palace tonight.

the end, Eunuch Ming trotted all the way to catch up and asked, and the answer he got was, " I"m lonely, you can do it. "

Eunuch Ming: …

Eunuch Ming had to temporarily place the person in the Xinuan Pavilion next door. He did not dare to bring people over there. In the middle of the night, he made a commotion so that people could see it, and it would definitely cause a sensation in the court tomorrow.

But after dawn tomorrow, he has no idea where the Tang family girl will go.

Eunuch Ming was afraid that he would be wrong about the master"s intention, so he did something wrong in the future. He arranged for Tang Yun to come back, and hurried in to ask for instructions, " What is your plan? "

girls of the Tang family were all taken to the palace, so the case of the Tang family is over?

serving His Highness for so many years, I have never seen His Highness make a mistake because of his beauty. In the past, the saints also rewarded him with beautiful women, and the noble concubine also arranged for him a noble daughter from a noble family. body.

In his words, " Women are too much trouble. "

Because of this, His Highness"s reputation for self-discipline is known to everyone.

Eunuch Ming really couldn"t understand why he was confused today and brought back the Tang family girl. The case of the Tang family is now in His Royal Highness"s hands.

　　Isn"t that shooting yourself in the foot?

prince had just come out of the bath, with a thin robe on his body.

Dark lacquer eyes stared at Eunuch Ming until his forehead was sweating, then he moved away boringly, wiped the pulp of his ten fingers from his eyes, and then released it, there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

He really brought the Tang family girl in...

Not a dream.

prince raised his eyes irritably and swept around his house. The tiles were made of glazed tiles, the floor was paved with gold bricks, the futon was paved with animal skins, the golden foot bottle, the jade plate...

Thinking of the faded wooden stools and bamboo water cups in Shicai"s dilapidated house...

The two thick sword brows lightly frowned, and he took off his outer robe and threw it to Eunuch Ming who was in front of him. The rest of the shirt was hanging loosely on his body. Although there was a smile on his face at this time, it was a sigh of relief from his bones. The coldness and thinness that came out were absolutely different from Shi Cai"s warm and jade-like appearance.

Eunuch Ming didn"t dare to ask any more questions, and was about to step back when he heard the prince whisper to himself, " You have n"t seen that yard today. "

Eunuch Ming was busy and listened.

　　" It"s too broken. "

Eunuch Ming: …

　　After a long while, Eunuch Ming vaguely chewed out the meaning of what he said, and co-authored His Highness to bring Miss Tang back tonight, just disgusting where she lives?

Tomorrow, when the Tang family"s exile comes, Miss Tang will not go to that yard, but the Qing | lou. With the backbone of the Tang family, most of them will perish.

　　These His Royal Highnesses have long known.

　　Another place, could it be more important than killing her?

Seeing the doubts in his eyes, the crown prince couldn"t help but scolded him, " I know how to fight, fight, and kill all day long. Today, Master Liu came to teach, and he also praised the loneliness, His Highness is wise, and his heart is very kind. "

Eunuch Ming"s mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Yes, the master has a generous heart, and it is because he is too bad-hearted. Eunuch Ming hurriedly knelt down and asked for instructions, " Slave Ming"er, where should I refer to Miss Tang in the harem? "

prince had already sat on the soft couch, with one foot covered under the quilt, he stopped abruptly, turned his head and asked, "The harem? "

　　" No, it"s not the harem, it"s..."

　　right.

It was only then that the prince remembered that she was a girl. She came to the East Palace and did not live in the harem. Could it be that she had to live with him in the front palace like before?

After running for most of the night, the prince was really tired, and said impatiently, " Whatever. "

Eunuch Ming"s brain was completely aching.

Any way.

he was racking his brains, another sentence was thrown from the top of his head, " Go and check. After the house was raided, her whereabouts, where have she been, who she has seen, the broken yard can"t be left, and it"s torn up. "

　　" Also, don"t let her out. "

Eunuch Ming: …

　　*

The lights in the next room were completely dimmed, and Tang Yun sat on the bed.

moonlight is like washing, sprinkled on the carved lacquered wood window made of cotton paste, the ear is quiet, and the sound of " Peng Peng " that the door panel is shaken by the wind can no longer be heard.

Glazed tiles are tiles, and gold bricks are ground.

The long -lost stability struck, the exhaustion in the body seemed to have reached the limit, and the eyelids were closed, and they could no longer be opened.

Mother Ruan drew water and twisted a handkerchief, and was about to let her wipe her face, when she turned around, she saw that she was lying on the bed.

　　The slender body was tightly shrunk into a ball.

Obviously frightened.

Mammy Ruan thought of the crimes that the girl had suffered in the past few days, her heart suddenly became sour, she walked over, pulled the quilt and gently covered her.

At first yesterday, she had wondered why the girl asked her to go to the bank, until the moment she saw the prince, she understood everything, and the girl had already found a way back for herself.

with the third son of the Gu family is just an option.

But the road to the East Palace is easier said than done?

Mammy Ruan looked at her sleeping face, and it was rare to find a bit of tranquility, and she said distressedly, " Sleep well, girl, the slave has already said that the girl"s life should not stop there. "
