Chapter 233: An Luhai is totally wasting his time!
"First of all, I think it is unlikely that Your Highness would come to the backyard of Fuyuan County Government alone in the middle of the night."
Chen Ji's mouth twitched, "Continue."
"So I dare to guess that His Highness didn't go far just now, and happened to see me being surrounded by people, and he was worried, so he followed me."
After all, I have been doing my best to entertain you these days, preparing delicious food in various ways, taking you on a spring outing, taking you to relax, and taking you to play on the slide.
"After all, I am a prince. Do I have to follow you and see for myself whether you are in danger?" Chen Ji asked back with a gleam in his eyes and raised his voice.
"Doesn't this just prove that Your Highness loves the people like your own children?" Luo Xiaoran bared her teeth and spoke in a mischievous tone.
"When Master Tu brought me here, it was already curfew. If Your Highness had not sneaked in among the constables, you would have had to reveal your identity. Only when the soldiers guarding the city believe that you are the prince can you enter Fuyuan County.
But the soldiers guarding the city just now showed that they didn't know you, which proves that you came with me and Master Tu, which also means that you witnessed the whole farce in the backyard of the county government."
Speaking of this, Luo Xiaoran looked at King Yan gratefully and said sincerely:
"Come to think of it, Your Highness just saved me again!"
The last time was because of the malice of the young master of Beiyi, Tal.
Chen Ji stared into Luo Xiaoran's eyes quietly, and after a moment, he nodded:
"But I think I'm being superfluous. Even if I didn't come, you would have found a way to get away."
"No way!" Luo Xiaoran denied immediately, "It was just a stalemate. If it weren't for His Highness coming out to break the deadlock, I don't know how long it would have dragged on! His Highness really saved me from the dire situation!"
Luo Xiaoran's selfless compliments kept pouring out, making Chen Ji very happy. A word came to his mind - flatterer.
Looking at the soldiers guarding the city not far away, Luo Xiaoran asked Chen Ji for his advice: "Should we stay at the inn now?"
When Chen Ji heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly. "Now your family still thinks that you took me to a private school and haven't returned yet. Is there something wrong?"
Luo Xiaoran waved her hand and said, "It's okay! I told them before I came out that I didn't know when I would be back, so I told Uncle Xiang not to leave the door open for me.
If I come back late, I will climb over the wall myself. "
Chen Ji thought of the three-meter-high outer wall of Luo Xiaoran's house, with a sharp iron sheet inserted on the top. However, Luo Xiaoran seemed to treat climbing over the wall as a daily routine, which was really unique.
"But if you rush back tomorrow morning, won't they wonder what you did all night?"
Luo Xiaoran glared: "Can they still control me?" I am the head of the family!
Chen Ji admitted defeat. Luo Xiaoran was like a young girl who had not yet fallen in love. No matter how he tested her, she did not show any of the shyness and sensitivity that were common among girls in the boudoir.
During this short delay, An Luhai finally remembered that it was still curfew, and hurried to the city gate to see Chen Ji off in person.
Luo Xiaoran saw a carriage coming from a distance, followed by two followers.
The carriage stopped in front of the two of them and An Luhai walked out.
Standing next to Chen Ji, Luo Xiaoran was full of confidence, and played the role of a fox borrowing the power of a tiger to the extreme: "Master An, is there anything else?"
"No," An Luhai shook his head, "I am here to see your Highness off."
An Luhai waved behind him, and a horse was led over:
"What happened tonight was caused by my own evil intentions. I am sorry, Miss Luo, for letting her walk back home. I specially prepared a horse for you as my apology."
Luo Xiaoran recognized at a glance that this horse was the one she rode when she came here. It was really thoughtful of An Luhai to find this one among more than 30 horses.
Luo Xiaoran didn't care and took the reins with a smile.
"Open the door quickly!" King Yan suddenly spoke in a cold voice, which seemed a little violent in the quiet night, scaring Luo Xiaoran and An Luhai.
You were fine just now, why are you suddenly angry now?
Luo Xiaoran said she didn't understand, but she could accept it.
There must be a reason why Thigh is angry, and as long as the reason is not about her, it's fine!
Seeing that Prince Yan was angry, An Luhai hurriedly ordered the soldiers guarding the city to open the city gates. Prince Yan and Luo Xiaoran rode out on their horses one after another.
Prince Yan's horse was very strong and it was ahead at a casual gallop. However, he intended to wait for Luo Xiaoran, so he slowed down his speed without noticing.
After seeing Luo Xiaoran climb up the wall in three steps and return home, and then open the gate from the inside and lead the horse in, Chen Ji whipped his horse and galloped towards Yizhou at full speed.
The wind was whistling in his ears, and Chen Ji felt very annoyed.
An Luhai's move is totally unnecessary!
He saw her off, and he lost the opportunity to stay in the inn with Luo Xiaoran.
He gave the horse away, and he couldn't even ride the same horse with Luo Xiaoran.
The more Chen Ji thought about it, the angrier he became, and he wanted to beat An Luhai severely.
However, after returning to the military camp, he put away all his emotions and turned into the far-sighted King of Yan.
"Wei Lin, find Du Shimu!"
"Yes."
Du Shimu came in quickly. He was still dressed in black, with a plain wooden hairpin on his head:
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Yan."
"An Luhai's two pregnant concubines are showing signs of miscarriage. Go and take a look."
After Du Shimu left, the taciturn Wei Lin couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, is it too much of an honor for An Luhai to let Du Shimu go?"
An Luhai has a special identity, he is a spy planted by the imperial court in the northern border.
Over the years, Your Highness has used An Luhai to pass on a lot of information that Your Highness wants the court to know, which is why An Luhai was able to stay safely in the position of Fuyuan County Magistrate.
Du Shimu has been detoxifying and conditioning the young master of Beiyi recently. It was really beyond Wei Lin's expectations to ask him to protect the pregnancy of An Luhai's concubine at this time.
King Yan glanced at Wei Lin and said nothing.
Wei Lin immediately knelt down and said, "I know I was wrong!"
……
After receiving the order, Du Shimu rushed to Fuyuan overnight and did not return to the military camp until noon the next day to report the situation to King Yan.
"Poisoned?"
Chen Ji's eyes showed an expression of knowing this earlier, "How is it now?"
"The poison has been removed. Lord An's two concubines are young and strong. As long as they take good care of themselves, the child can be born safely." Du Shimu replied.
"An Luhai had been childless for many years, but now he has two children. I heard that it's all thanks to the secret recipe you gave me?"
"The situation was urgent that day. In order to save my daughter, I had no choice but to resort to this last resort. Please punish me, Your Highness!" Du Shimu said hurriedly.
Chen Ji seemed to have thought of something, and a dark light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly recovered, "How can I be guilty of loving my daughter so much?"
After a pause, he asked again, "How is the cure for Tal's poison?"
"Your Highness, Young Master Tal is fine now."
"Go and rest first! Wei Lin!"
Du Shimu dragged his tired body out of the tent, and Wei Lin walked in with a solemn expression.
"My subordinate is here!"
"Make arrangements to send Tal back to Beiyi today."
"Yes!"
Wei Lin accepted the order, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he took out a small note from his arms and handed it to King Yan with both hands.
"This is the message that An Luhai delivered to Kyoto this morning."
The King of Yan unfolded the rolled-up note, which contained only a short line of words:
The Prince of Yan had a close relationship with a woman named Luo.
The King of Yan burned the paper calmly and told Wei Lin:
"Send two people to follow Luo Xiaoran day and night in turns. Unless you encounter something that endangers Luo Xiaoran's safety, you don't need to take action."
"Yes! I will go and select two capable B-guards right away."
"I want the armor."
"……Yes!"
