"What are you looking at?"

A deep voice came from behind Chu Yu, and she frowned.Just now, he was only worried about the inspection of the carriage behind by the city guard, but he forgot that his exaggerated expression would arouse the suspicion of the prince.

She turned back to face Lu Jiuqing, and explained hesitantly: "My lord, Chu Yu is just a little worried about Siyun's body..."

Although there was a faint smile on Lu Jiuqing's face, but his expression was ambiguous, as if he was asking questions but also seemed to be indifferent gossip: "Since she is so ill, why don't you take it out if you are worried?"

"Chu Yu is used to Siyun's care."

"Now you take care of her in turn, right?"

Chu Yu couldn't cope for a while, she just lowered her head in embarrassment, with a timid look on her face.Lu Jiuqing seemed to be scared when he saw her, his eyes suddenly became warmer when he looked at her, and he stretched out his hand out of the window.

Soon Yuan Cheng's gloomy but respectful voice sounded outside the car: "Your Majesty?"

"Go and see."

Lu Jiuqing only said three words casually, but Yuan Cheng knew it was because the son was impatient.It's routine to check the servant's carriage, so he didn't have much to do before. Now that the prince had spoken, he rode back a few steps on the tall green horse under him.

With a frightening look on his face, Yuan Cheng yelled at the two city guards who were carefully examining each of them: "Do you know whose car it is? You dare to interrogate it!"

The two of them stopped their movements immediately, and they were about to forcibly remove the power fence worn on the head of a servant who refused to cooperate with life and death.Seeing Yuan Chengheng glaring at him now, he immediately let go of the curtain in his hand.

One of them smiled obsequiously and said: "My lord, don't get angry, this is also a routine for us. If you are in a hurry, you will not be delayed. We have checked everything, it's okay, it's okay. Let go! "

Yuan Cheng ignored these two people, but ordered directly to the groom: "Go!"

……

Chu Yu saw through the window that the carriage behind was gradually following up, and a big stone in her heart fell to the ground.It's really dangerous just now!

She sat down calmly and honestly, but saw Lu Jiuqing handing over a handkerchief.She was a little puzzled for a while, and looked at Lu Jiuqing wonderingly: "My lord, this is it?"

Lu Jiuqing didn't say anything, but his eyes moved up slightly, and his eyes fell on her forehead.It was only then that Chu Yu realized that this was for wiping her sweat. Because she was so anxious just now, there were fine beads of sweat!

She stretched out her hand anxiously to take the handkerchief, could she be ungrateful for what the prince gave her?It's just that she took it back and looked at it carefully. She has seen this handkerchief countless times, and Shizi always wears it every time.Therefore, this is not a veil that you can take and use at any time, but something close to your body and always with you.

Then she used it to wipe sweat, should I return it after using it, or not?

"My lord, Chu Yu is afraid that your handkerchief will be dirty..."

"Then keep it for yourself after you use it up." Lu Jiuqing said casually.

"Oh." She replied, and then wiped her forehead in peace of mind.

After wiping off her sweat, she carefully put the handkerchief into the bag she carried with her, only then did she suddenly remember that there was still something to return.

She took out the neatly stacked cloak from her bag and held it up to Lu Jiuqing, "My lord, this is the cloak you left in Zuihua Pavilion a few days ago. Chu Yu thought you might wear it on this trip. brought it for you."

Lu Jiuqing didn't reach out to pick it up, but said with a playful smile, "Where is it?"

Chu Yu looked away aggrieved, thinking that she would not be able to escape the fate of being ridiculed even if she returned a piece of clothing.She naturally guessed that Lu Jiuqing must have seen her cold that night, so she put on the clothes for her.But wouldn't it be embarrassing to bring up that night again, that's why she wanted to pay it back perfunctorily.Since Lu Jiuqing was so serious, she had no choice but to thank her earnestly.

"Thank you, my son, for your care and understanding. It's because Chu Yu lost her composure that night because she couldn't drink too much." After she finished speaking, she gently placed the cloak in her hand on the empty space beside Lu Jiuqing.

"Thank you, you snatched it yourself."

"Stealed it?" Chu Yuyuan stared at Lu Jiuqing with widened eyes.

"Yeah." He snorted in response, and continued: "That night you hugged this son and refused to let go, and finally I took off my clothes to get out."

……

Chu Yu closed her eyes tightly and buried her head, her head was almost buried between her legs with both arms!Her face was ashamed as a ripe plum.It's a pity that this is a carriage, otherwise she really wanted to sneak in through a crack in the ground and escape...

Lu Jiuqing's seemingly unmoving face concealed a sense of satisfaction. After restraining himself for a while, he finally turned his head over his shoulder, and fainted the smile on his lips as if he couldn't help it.

……

Since then, nothing has been said.

When Chu Yu finally felt that her neck could no longer bear the curvature of her legs, she raised her head pretending to be calm, opened the window and looked outside.

The warm sun in late autumn tried its best to spray light and heat, but it still couldn't keep the branches and leaves for the vegetation.The red, yellow and yellow withered leaves were falling, and in Chu Yu's eyes, it was like endless nostalgia.She had just left Lin'an City, but she had the illusion of being close to her hometown, as if in the blink of an eye, the carriage could stop at Sucheng.

After driving like this for more than an hour, Yuan Cheng's inquiry came from outside the car window: "My lord, it's the time of lunch at noon. There is an inn not far ahead, and the suburbs are beyond."

Lu Jiuqing lifted the curtains and looked out. He wanted to see if the inn was clean, but it seemed that he couldn't see it for a while.He lowered the curtain, since this was the last one in the city, there was no choice.

"Just stop in front."

……

After the carriage stopped, Lu Jiuqing and Chu Yu both got out of the carriage, and Chu Yu looked at the courtyard in front of her in a rather grand manner.A row of eucalyptus trees embrace each other outside the courtyard, lush and lush.The inside is surrounded by vermilion walls and covered with glazed green tiles.

Originally, the master and servants were not allowed to eat at the same time, but this was to save time, and secondly, because the inn was large enough, the private room and the main hall were far apart so that they would not interfere with each other.Therefore, Lu Jiuqing graciously asked his subordinates to come down to eat wine.

Chu Yu followed Lu Jiuqing step by step and entered the private room.His eldest maid Xuechun also went in together.Considering that they had to cross the deserted road in the outskirts to reach the city before dark, they skipped ordering food and only asked Xiao Er to arrange some good dishes to serve.

There was a square table with the Eight Immortals, and the two sat facing each other, with Xue Chun serving tea and water at the side.Without the effort of two cups of tea, the table is full of delicacies, which is dizzying.

In fact, Chu Yu herself owns a brothel, and the cooks in the building are also very good at cooking delicacies, so she is not very interested in those chicken, duck and fish meat, but a plate of vegetarian dishes attracted her to pick up three chopsticks.

Lu Jiuqing glanced at Xuechun, and Xuechun put the plate of vegetarian dishes in front of Chu Yu knowingly.

Taking advantage of Xiaoer's coming to serve soup again, Chu Yu pointed to the vegetarian dish in front of her and asked, "Xiaoer, what kind of dish is this?"

"Oh, miss, this dish is called braised wild rice slices." After finishing speaking, Xiaoer nodded and quickly retreated, there were still several tables outside to serve.

Only then did Lu Jiuqing repeat: "Wild rice?"

Chu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you must not know what a wild rice is?"

"In fact, there are common people in the capital who grow wild rice. The seeds they produce are called wild rice, which are eaten by the poor as wild rice. The status of the son of the world will definitely not eat it."

There was a flash of approval in Lu Jiuqing's eyes very quickly, she actually knew something that he didn't.But before Chu Yu could see that expression, it dissipated into a pretense of arrogance.

He wondered: "Have you eaten?"

"Chu Yu's life was quite comfortable when she was in her mother's house, but when she came to the capital, she directly..." entered the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.She paused, flustered her eyes, and replied directly: "I haven't eaten."

"Then how do you know?"

Chu Yu thought about it for a moment. This probably has to do with the differences between the north and the south. "In Lin'an, we use reed leaves to wrap the corner millet, but Sucheng uses wild rice leaves to wrap the corner millet. When I was young, my eldest sister would use it to weave some fun things to coax Chuyu. Like bamboo dragonflies, straw baskets, and baskets." ..." There was a smile in her eyes, as if at this moment, she had swam back to her childhood.

Just mentioning the elder sister, a trace of loneliness inevitably crossed her face.These expressions were seen by Lu Jiuqing, who probably guessed the current situation of the Chu family.

Chu Yu was afraid that she would spoil the prince's interest, so she stuffed another piece of wild rice with chopsticks into her mouth, and her face returned to her previous expression: "I didn't expect the tender stems of this wild rice to be so delicious! It's a pity that this place is so close to the capital. But no one in the capital eats wild rice stems."

Lu Jiuqing also stretched out his arm to pick up a piece and tasted it, it was really good.Then he said: "Perhaps you can take this dish back to Zuihua Pavilion to try."

The corners of Chu Yu's mouth twitched with joy at first, but soon said in a muffled voice: "No one in the capital has ever made this kind of thing. If you ask for a recipe for this inn, they may not spread it to the public."

"It's okay, let Xuechun accompany you to the back kitchen."

"Oh..." She responded obediently.

When Chu Yu found the back kitchen, the proprietress immediately refused when she heard that she was here to learn the recipes.Then Xuechun called the proprietress aside and whispered a few words, and then stuffed something into her hand.When the proprietress came back, she changed her friendly attitude towards Chu Yu and promised to teach her.

Xuechun has been able to serve Lu Jiuqing for so many years, it is naturally because she is extremely good at dealing with affairs, especially good at managing various personnel affairs.Such a small situation, with a combination of kindness and power, it will not be a waste of effort.

Chu Yu listened carefully to the recipe given by the proprietress, and wrote down the main points on a piece of paper from time to time.

***

In the private room, Mou Siyun was kneeling on the ground waiting for the son's lecture.Her heart trembled, her hands trembled.

Before getting off the carriage, Lu Jiuqing told Yuan Cheng to summon Mou Siyun as soon as Chu Yu left the house.

Lu Jiuqing stared at her, and said in a cold tone: "Now you have left Lin'an City as you wished, you can leave now."

"Shi... Shizi, what did Siyun do wrong?"

"Spare your play, find another backer and act again." As he said, he threw the chopsticks in his hand!The power fence on Siyun's head fell in response to the sound...

Under the fence, it was Shuangtao's face!She covered her face, hanging deeply on her chest as if she didn't dare to show others.Pausing for a while, knowing that it is impossible to hide it any longer, I had no choice but to thank you: "My family thanked my son for saving my life..."

"Hmph." Lu Jiuqing snorted dissatisfiedly, "The person who saved you was Chu Yu."

Shuangtao immediately realized that she had said something wrong, and it was obvious that the prince had been protecting Chu Yu everywhere.She then moved her kneeling position, kowtowed to Chu Yu's empty seat, and begged, "My lord, Shuangtao won't drag Chuyu down anymore, Shuangtao just wants to follow her back to Sucheng, and then... "

"Shut up!" Lu Jiuqing was excited for a moment, but immediately resumed his indifferent tone: "Get out of the way immediately, or you will know what will happen to those guards in the Hou Mansion."

Shuangtao was startled, he was obviously still blaming her for cheating Chu Yu back then.She is clear about his methods, if he really angered him, it would be better to leave it in the hands of Zhang Yuanwai or Shang Jianian!

"Don't worry, my son, I don't dare to take the car from the Duke's mansion anymore. I just want to kowtow to Chu Yu in person again..."

"Hmph, you'd better hang on to her heart."

As soon as Lu Jiuqing's words fell to the ground, Shuangtao was grabbed by someone's hands and dragged outside...
