When Yan Shi rode his horse towards the palace, he ran into Eunuch Le who was running out of breath.
"Wang... lord..." Eunuch Le was out of breath, seeing Yan Shi hurriedly stopped his horse, "Wang... lord... you... where have you been?"
Yan Shi was in a hurry to find Princess Huojia, but for a moment he forgot that there was Eunuch Le by his side. Seeing him panting like this, he felt a little guilty, and he stretched out a hand towards Eunuch Le: "Eunuch, get on the horse, let's talk as we walk."
Eunuch Le refused again and again: "My lord, you can't do this. You are a lord, how can a servant ride a horse with you, this is really a shame."
"Come up quickly, it's important to find Huojia." Yan Shi didn't wait for him to speak, and a short figure grabbed Eunuch Le by the back collar and carried him to the horse. Although Eunuch Le is not very fat, his figure is relatively round. It was the first time in such an advanced age that someone grabbed him like a chicken, and the other party was a very thin-looking man. But before Eunuch Le could be shocked, the horse galloped so fast that he was overwhelmed with fright. Wanting to shout but not daring to shout, there is no place to put these two hands, the only place to put them is on Yan Shi's waist, but that is even more impossible. He is just a servant, how can he put his hands on the body of the prince.
Eunuch Le sat in the back and was scared to death, Yan Shi seemed to feel it: "Eunuch, hold on to me, don't let go!"
After all, fear won, and Eunuch Le stretched out his hands tremblingly to grab the clothes around Yan Shi's waist. Seeing that Yan Shi didn't say anything, he let out a long sigh of relief. This prince seems to be different from other princes.
The closer he got to the gate of the palace, the more restless Yan Shi's heart beat. When he was approaching the gate of the palace, he saw a familiar figure standing there.
It's Winner!
Yan Shi urged the horse forward, and when he got there, he jumped off the horse and said, "Huo Jia!"
Princess Huojia over there had already heard the sound of horseshoes, and knew that it was Yan Shi who was coming, and she was overjoyed to see him running towards her.
Yan Shizai looked at her carefully, but fortunately she was not injured: "How are you? Are you hurt? How did they treat you? Are you afraid?"
Even though Princess Huojia had thousands of words to say, she swallowed all her words when she saw Eunuch Le who was still on the horse. Some things cannot be said, and speaking out is a disaster. He could barely squeeze out a smile: "Everything is well with Huo Jia, I'm sorry for the big brother."
Yan Shi knew his sister best, and understood what she meant right now. Eunuch Le had never ridden a horse before, and Yan Shi got off the horse. He hesitated for a long time and wanted to get off the horse, but he was still a little timid.
Yan Shi walked up to the horse, handed his hand to Eunuch Le, and helped him get off the horse.
Eunuch Le's feet were on the ground, his legs were a little soft, and he was very happy to see Princess Huojia: "Princess, why don't you go back to the palace here, the emperor is very anxious."
The three of them returned to the imperial study room, and it took only half an hour before and after.
Princess Huojia knelt down on the ground: "My son pays respects to my father, long live my father, long live my father."
Emperor Chongjin didn't expect Princess Huojia to come back so soon, and asked, "Where did you go?"
Princess Huojia replied: "I have finally left the palace for so many years, so I am reluctant to come back so early, and I am afraid that the elder brother will not agree. Therefore, in the evening, the elder brother and the elder sister-in-law sent the son to the gate of the palace. The son pretended to them that he would enter the palace. In fact, when they walked away, the son did not enter the palace, and went to another place for a stroll. Just when he was about to enter the palace, he happened to meet the eldest brother. The son didn't know My own selfish thoughts have caused such disasters, the fault of this matter is entirely on my son, and has nothing to do with the eldest brother, please look into it clearly."
Emperor Chongjin looked at Duke Le and said, "Is that so?"
Eunuch Le hurriedly said: "Princess Huojia's words are true. The slaves and the prince searched in the imperial city, and when they returned to the palace, they happened to meet Princess Huojia."
"Since everything is clear, Huojia, you should go back first." Emperor Chongjin looked at Yan Shi again, but didn't say what he wanted to say, "Jingchu also go back to rest earlier."
"Thank you, father." The brother and sister knelt down and walked out of the imperial study.
Taking advantage of the time when there was no one around, Princess Huojia said softly and quickly to Yan Shi: "Brother Emperor, don't worry, I'm fine, I was just scared and didn't suffer any injuries."
Yan Shi also quickly comforted her, and watched her go back to Empress Depin's palace.
At this time, there must be people from Emperor Chongjin quietly watching them. No matter whether Princess Huojia came back or not, Emperor Chongjin would suspect that he took Princess Huojia away, and letting Eunuch Le follow him was just a rhetoric.
As the saying goes, there is no one who knows a son like a father, but isn't there no one who knows a father like a son? He is most aware of his father, once it is something he is sure of, there is no possibility of turning around.
After returning to the mansion, Hua Ling hadn't rested yet, seeing him back, she hurriedly asked him what happened. After Yan Shi said it briefly, Hua Ling also felt relieved, and each of them washed up and rested.
At dawn the next day, when Yan Shi came out of the mansion, he saw that Jin Geer was already waiting outside the gate of the mansion.
"My lord, Mr. Qingyue, here are the steamed buns I bought for you two, try it quickly." Seeing the door of the mansion open, Jin Geer hurriedly sent up the two steamed buns wrapped in oil paper as if offering treasures. For the past few days, he has been investigating the case with Yan Shi, and he also followed Yan Shi in eating and drinking every day. Jin Geer felt embarrassed, so he specially bought two meat buns for Yan Shi today.
Just looking at the four people in front of me, I was a little stunned, two buns, the four people seemed to be inseparable.
"Why are you here again?" Hua Ling got annoyed when he saw how attentive he was, but fortunately he was saved at a young age. But I have to be careful, this person will grow up in the blink of an eye.
Brother Jin was not convinced when he saw Hua Ling: "Why did you follow?"
Yan Shi helplessly pulled the two apart: "Let's go, the priority is to solve the case."
Jin Geer stuffed a meat bun to Yan Shi: "Your Excellency, you can eat it." Yan Shi took it, this is a way for a child to express his gratitude to the best of his ability, and the rest is worse than accepting, so he said something Xie Xie took the meat bun in his hand.
Brother Jin stuffed another meat bun to Jiang Qingyue: "Young Master Qingyue, this is for you. This bun is delicious, and there are many people buying it."
A slight smile appeared on Jiang Qingyue's icy face: "Thank you, Brother Jin, but I already had my meal in the morning, and now I can't eat anymore."
Jiang Qingyue has a handsome appearance, dressed in snow, and the wide robe wraps her slender body. When she walks, her skirt flutters, which adds a bit of immortality, but it also makes people feel a sense of distance, like a person on an iceberg. Snow lotus, innocent, beautiful, but extremely difficult to approach. His whole body seemed to exude a cool smell, except for Yan Shi, he maintained a slight sense of alienation from other people and things. It is rare to be able to smile at Jin Geer now.
Brother Jin was a little lost, always felt that he had been with this handsome young man for many days, but every time he met him, he was as cold as a stranger.
"Have you eaten in the morning?" Jiang Qingyue asked suddenly, looking at Jin Ge'er's undisguised face.
Brother Jin replied subconsciously: "I didn't eat it." After Da Li died, he didn't leave him any money. He learned to do business in the shop, and he only provided for a full meal without monthly payment. Now because of Da Li's case, he hasn't been there for many days. If he can save it, he can save it. It's okay if he doesn't eat in the morning, he will eat around noon.
Jiang Qingyue said again: "Since that's the case, you can eat this bun today, and it's not too late to eat it when I don't have breakfast."
In a word, all the gloom on Jin Ge'er's face was wiped away, and his face immediately became happy again.
Yan Shi took the bun in his hand to Hua Ling.
Hua Ling didn't want it, it was bought by that annoying brother Jin, he didn't want to eat it.
Yan Shi smiled: "I gave you this, don't you want to eat it?"
When Yan Shi said this, Hua Ling happily took it, took a bite of the bun and whispered to Yan Shi quietly: "Brother, do you see, he is just a little bitch, look at him looking at Mr. Qingyue Smiling like that. You are young now, and you might look what you will look like in a few years. You also have to stay away from him, I don’t think he has a good heart for you.”
Yan Shi shook his head a little dumbfounded.
A group of five people were walking on the street. At this time, the imperial city was already bustling with everything for sale.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in front, as if someone was fighting.
Yan Shi hurriedly walked there a few steps, and there was a circle of people there. Brother Jin was small, and he quickly squeezed a path for a few people in the crowd, and Sang Yu walked in while protecting Yan Shi.
Surrounded by the crowd were a man and a woman. The woman was in her thirties, and there was nothing to say about her clothes and appearance. On the contrary, the man was only about twenty years old, dressed in Miaojiang costumes, and carried a medicine box on his back. The woman's hands were tugging on the man's sleeves, her mouth reluctant.
"What happened?" Yan Shi asked loudly, "We are from Dali Temple."
Hua Ling unconsciously puffed out her chest and stood beside Yan Shi, expressing her pride.
When the onlookers saw that the official messenger had arrived, their discussion became much quieter. Although the woman was unwilling and did not dare to make noise, she did not let go of the hand that was holding the man's sleeve.
She knelt on the ground and sobbed, "My lord, please make the decision for the women."
Yan Shi said: "Stand up and tell me quickly what happened. If there is any grievance, I will make the decision for you."
When the woman heard what Yan Shi said, she felt a little better. She pointed at the man and said, "My lord, this man is a quack doctor. He killed me."
"Don't talk nonsense," the man pulled his sleeves out of the woman's hand, straightened his clothes and said again, "It is clear that you told me that your husband-in-law raised a child outside, and asked me There is no way to make him change his mind. I kindly helped you, but not only did not end well, but also caused a mess. There is no such reason in this world. Besides, you use up the medicine I gave you, don’t you still say it’s too much? Does it work? Why are you saying now that I have harmed your husband?"
