Chapter 546: Weird, Who Is the Carriage Being Followed?
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the fifth lady is in the carriage behind. It doesn't seem to be going to Duke Xingguo's mansion." Xiao Liuzi climbed into the carriage and said excitedly, but he also knew that he was afraid of being heard, so he deliberately lowered his voice, making it sound like he was being pinched. The chicken with its neck stretched out was screaming, which was very strange.
But Chu Liuxin was used to hearing this and didn't find it strange. They had been guarding this intersection for two days, but they didn't see the carriage of Duke Xingguo. Not only did they see it now, but they also discovered that the one behind it was Shao Wu. Lady's carriage.
"You're lucky, keep up!" Chu Liuxin nodded proudly. Fortunately, she was smart and knew that Mrs. Xingguo's wife was sick. Shao Wanru on the mountain would definitely not be able to sit still, and would definitely have to go down the mountain to visit the sick patient. Waiting for the rabbit was also very effective. Okay, look, I found someone after just two days of waiting.
The most important thing is not only to find the person, but also to find out which car is Shao Wanru. Such a coincidence happened to him, which is not just luck.
The carriage turned out of the other road at the crossroads, stared at the carriage of Duke Xingguo, and then closely followed Shao Wanru's carriage.
"Miss, the carriage behind seems to be following us!" Yujie pointed to the gauze curtain at the back window and said to Shao Wanru. She had just looked at it several times and turned several intersections. It just kept going. Follow.
"Maybe he is going to the capital as well." Shao Wanru said. There is no entrance to the capital here yet. It is possible that the person who came down from Yuhui Temple happened to be behind him.
"Miss, it was obvious that there was no carriage like this when we went down the mountain before. You can see that this carriage is very gorgeous. You can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary one. If this slave had just seen it, he would definitely recognize it."
Yu Jie thought it was not the case and reminded Shao Wan Rudao.
"Let's go to the city gate first!" Shao Wanru turned his head and looked through the screen window at the carriage outside the back window. It was neither fast nor slow, neither fast nor slow. His own carriage slowed down and did not overtake, as if it was falling on him. As if he was behind a carriage, his face couldn't help but darken, and his watery eyes were thoughtful.
This carriage was indeed suspicious, but I didn’t know if I was overthinking it or if that was what I meant.
I couldn't see it until I arrived in the capital, so I could only wait quietly. What I said to Yujie just now was because I was afraid that she would panic and mess up Chen's feet.
We went all the way and arrived at the gate of the capital. There were a lot of people entering the city today. Many people were queuing up. They were ordinary civilians. Duke Xingguo's mansion was from a wealthy family, so of course there was no need to queue up. He followed Shao Yanru's carriage and saw the Shuqi pair. The soldier guarding the gate said something, pointed to the carriage behind him, and then took out a note from his arms. After reading it, the soldier immediately let him go.
Two carriages entered the city gate one after the other.
"Miss, that carriage has also come in!" Yu Jie has been paying attention to the situation behind her. When she saw a boy coming out of the carriage, she also said a few words to the soldiers. This time, she didn't even take out the name sticker. The soldiers immediately let go respectfully, even more respectfully than they had just done to the carriage of Duke Xingguo.
Shao Wanru frowned. The owner of the carriage behind him had an unusual identity, but he didn't know what his intention was. Was it because of Shao Yanru or himself, or maybe it was really a coincidence.
Shao Yanru's carriage was heading towards Duke Xingguo's Mansion at the intersection. Shao Wanru was going in the other direction. The two carriages separated. Shao Yanru did not notice the carriage following Shao Wanru. Her attention was on Shao Wanru's On the body, seeing that Shao Wanruo did not follow, he felt relieved.
When he reached the next intersection, he immediately ordered the carriage to turn in one direction, not to the Xingguo Duke's Mansion, but to another place.
After turning several corners, Shuqi kept staring closely behind him, fearing that Shao Wanru's carriage would appear out of nowhere. After such a period of time on the mountain, Shuqi no longer dared to underestimate the young fifth lady.
Fortunately, he didn't see Shao Wanru's carriage anymore, and Shuqi breathed a sigh of relief. Although the fifth lady was not simple, she was still much worse than his own lady.
Except for the fact that my young lady personally planned the matter between the fifth lady and the eldest son Qi, and then fell into trouble and was a little self-defeating, the eldest lady handled other matters with ease, and she didn't let anyone catch the blame, just like the madam. The eldest lady contributed to the incident, but no one could find out about the eldest lady.
The carriage stopped at the back door of a restaurant. Shao Yanru put on her curtain hat and helped Shuqi out of the carriage, and gently knocked on the back door of the restaurant.
Someone came to open the door immediately. When he saw Shao Yanru coming in, he hurriedly led the person in. Then he looked around and found no one coming, so he hurriedly closed the door.
The waiter led Shao Yanru up a dark escalator at the back to the second floor, then to the third floor, and then stopped at the escalator on the third floor: "Miss, our master is waiting for you inside!"
Shao Yanru nodded and glanced at Shuqi. Shuqi stopped knowingly and watched Shao Yanru enter a room upstairs. The door of the room was closed silently.
The room was not big, but it was elegantly decorated, and even the furnishings looked extremely elegant. Chu Liuyue was standing on the table in front of the window, holding a paintbrush in her hand, painting quietly.
Shao Yanru took two steps forward, walked behind his handsome body, and bowed deeply to him: "Your Highness!"
"You're here, how about taking a look at the peonies I painted?" Chu Liuyue said without looking back.
Shao Yanru took two steps forward and walked to Chu Liuyue's side. She looked at the peonies he painted and frowned secretly. She didn't like peonies. She always felt that peonies had lost their beauty in the past and were not ideal. Flowers, she also likes the swallows in front of the hall, which are fresh and refined, with a kind of ethereal beauty that is about to float in the wind, just like what others have always praised her for.
But the person in front of her was King Yue, and of course she couldn't let him know this preference.
"Your Highness's painting is so good. This peony seems to be alive. It's so beautiful that it makes my heart move. Can Your Highness give me this peony painting so that I can look at it every day? Even if I can't see His Highness, I can still miss His Highness." Shao Yanru said softly.
At this moment, all the dignity on her face was gone, and she looked like just a charming young lady in love. Looking at Chu Liuchen's handsome face, she smiled sweetly. Her words were explicit. After saying this, her face turned red, becoming more and more alluring. .
"Okay, I will give it to you when I finish the painting!" Chu Liuyue laughed and seemed to be in a good mood. Shao Yanru breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the matter was not that bad.
"Then thank you, Your Highness!" Shao Yanru bowed sideways and smiled softly.
She was wearing a pink dress with a pair of butterflies embroidered on the delicate light green embroidery. She looked smart and beautiful. Her eyes seemed to be full of autumn water. She looked at Chu Liuyue with all kinds of affection, even though she didn't say anything. What she said has already made people's hearts flutter. Such a beauty is dignified and decent outside. When the two of them face each other, she is such a beautiful sight. The IKEA room is definitely a rare candidate for a man's first wife.
Moreover, the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital and the most beautiful woman in Dongcang Kingdom is enough to make men's hearts flutter.
The beauty of the country, if she wins the country, only such a beauty is the most worthy. Of course, it would be better if Shao Yanru's color was more colorful, like the King of Flowers Peony.
Chu Liuyue thought with regret, but he also thought that no one is perfect, and it doesn't matter if she has such a shortcoming. Anyway, she is the most beautiful woman. If she marries her, not only has her background, but also her beauty, it will be a good idea. A good story.
But even if you are a beauty, you still have to scold when it is time to scold, otherwise you will become spoiled by being pampered.
The smile on his face slowly faded, and he turned to look at Shao Yanru: "Tell me what happened at Baiyun Temple?"
"Your Highness, I... really didn't expect such a big trouble to happen. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!" Shao Yanru's face showed some weakness, and he knelt down, tears immediately welling up in his eyes.
She held her slender waist, knelt down and lowered her head slightly, making her waist even more slender and attractive.
Chu Liuyue put down the pen in her hand, sat down on the chair, looked at Shao Yanru coldly, with a bit of anger, "I told you before that this matter is not allowed to be revealed, but you don't listen to me. , let others take care of Baiyun Temple."
"Your Highness, this is really an accident. When my grandmother asked who can exorcise evil spirits, I mentioned a few names. Taoist Master Xiushui has always been famous. It would be too guilty if I didn't mention them, so I just mixed them with a few names. After mentioning it, who would have thought that grandma would still choose him."
Tears welled up, and Shao Yanru looked at Chu Liuyue in great fear, with a sad and regretful look on her face, and her tears fell down one by one, which was very pitiful.
"You didn't recommend it specifically?" Chu Liuyue frowned and said.
"Of course not. No matter how ignorant I am, I will not ruin His Highness's good deeds! If Your Highness is not good, what good will it do to me!" Shao Yanru's sad voice and cautious eyes made Chu Liuyue's face soften a little. point.
He stretched out his hand to pull Shao Yanru, but Shao Yanru carefully avoided it and said with a blushing face: "Your Highness, a gentleman does not bully the dark room. Even if there is no one at this time, Your Highness should not be rude!"
After saying that, he held on to the chair next to him and stood up. Although his eyes were full of affection, his behavior was not at all frivolous, and she looked like a lady.
"Okay, I won't touch you. When the Japanese king marries you, you won't refuse me!" Chu Liuyue laughed. On this point, he still liked Shao Yanru very much and thought she was A self-respecting and self-loving girl, even if two people are in love now, she will not go overboard in the slightest.
Duke Xingguo's education was good. No wonder her reputation was so good. She deserved it. Thinking that this flower-like beauty would eventually fall into her hands, Chu Liuyue felt a little hot in her heart. "It's too late." There will be a talent show for a while, if you participate this time, I will choose you as the royal concubine!"
"Your Highness, even if I participate in the draft, our affairs will not be successful. The Emperor will not let you marry me!" Shao Yanru covered her face and cried.
In the past, the prince's concubines often married women who were not from powerful families. Given the rank of Duke Xingguo and the degree to which Duke Xingguo was regarded, it was unlikely that the young lady from Duke Xingguo's residence would be able to stay.
These words touched Chu Liuyue's heart. This matter was indeed difficult to handle. Her father would even directly ask people to choose talents below several ranks of officials. Thinking about Chu Liuchen's marriage, the imperial grandmother had always said that she would marry Chu Liuchen. She was a noble woman, and he felt very irritated.
