Eunuch Fan thought about the long distance, so he said to Rong Changan: "The empress should stay at home. Although the sun is out and the snow has melted a lot, it is a long way to go. There is no car or horse. It is hard work to go on foot. Very. If the queen wants to buy something, just tell the old slave, and I will definitely buy it for you."
Rong Chang'an said: "When I was marching and fighting, I walked an unknown distance. I was afraid of hard work! Besides, it is inconvenient for you to buy some women's things, so let me go with you."
Eunuch Fan knew Rong Changan's temperament, as long as she made up her mind, even twelve cows would not be able to pull her back.
"Since the empress has made the decision, the old slave can't stop dissuading me." Instead, he said to the old woman, "Go prepare the empress' dry food and eat it on the way."
After carrying dry food and dressing up, Rong Changan and Eunuch Fan set out on the road. After walking for a long time, I just came to the market, but these days it is snowing, the mountains and roads are closed, many people stop doing business, all the shops are closed, and there is nothing to buy.
Eunuch Fan frowned worriedly: "What should we do now? Sell what you don't have food, sell what you don't have lamp oil, what will you eat tomorrow, and what lighting will you light at night?" He said to Rong Chang'an, "Queen, this is a hard time for you. !"
Eunuch Fan had a sad face, with deep wrinkles on his forehead.
Rong Changan couldn't bear to see him like this, so he smiled: "If there is no lamp oil, we can cut pine wood for lighting. In the past, we relied on pine wood when we marched and fought. As for food, that's easy to handle. Let's go back and make a pair of bows and arrows. Go hunting in the woods, my arrow skills are so good, shooting pheasants and rabbits should not be a problem."
Eunuch Fan knew that Rong Changan was pretending to be easy to comfort him. Pine wood has a lot of smoke, and if it is burned overnight, it can smoke people into black charcoal. As for hunting, it was so easy. If it was easy, Eunuch Fan would eat meat every day.
Rong Changan asked again: "Is there no other market around here?"
Eunuch Fan pointed to the north: "Going 30 miles to the north is the capital city, but it's too far away, and I usually don't go there."
In fact, Eunuch Fan didn't want to go to the capital because he was afraid of being recognized.
Rong Changan pondered for a while: "Eunuch Fan, why don't we rush to the capital, buy some things and come back."
Eunuch Fan was troubled: "Is it too far away?"
"Not far!" Rong Changan said, "At worst, let's buy a horse and hurry back."
Fan Gonggong said: "Isn't the queen afraid of being recognized by acquaintances?"
Rong Changan smiled, took out a black veil from his pocket, and covered his face: "If I look like this, who will recognize me? When I go to the capital, Eunuch Fan will stop calling me a queen, just treat me as a Your daughter's name is Xue'er, otherwise you will be seen through by the left queen and the right queen."
Eunuch Fan is a well-behaved man, so he is really not used to changing his name to Rong Changan as Xue'er all of a sudden. But in order to preserve Rong Chang'an's identity, it had to be like this.
"The old slave is offended!"
Now she is also a fleeing person, and she still talks about offending or not!
"You call twice first, and if you call a lot, you will get used to it."
Eunuch Fan coughed and said solemnly, "Xue... Xueer." Even though he yelled out, it still felt weird.
Rong Changan bowed his body and promised: "Daddy, my daughter is being polite!"
Eunuch Fan quickly reached out to help Rong Changan: "Queen, don't do this, this old slave can't bear it."
Rong Changan: "Going to the capital, that's it. Daddy, don't get used to it."
Rong Changan was originally aloof, but now he has become a well-behaved daughter, Eunuch Fan couldn't help laughing.
"It would be great if the old slave also had a daughter like the queen."
The two of them creaked and walked towards the capital. On the way, Rong Changan asked how Eunuch Fan entered the palace. Eunuch Fan sighed, his eyes full of sadness. It turned out that Eunuch Fan's father was the housekeeper of a wealthy family, and that wealthy family was rich and powerful, so his father was very powerful and popular, and the family lived a very prosperous life. Later, the rich and noble family offended the powerful people in the dynasty, and their heads were beheaded. All the women in the house were dragged into the palace to be servants, and the men were sent to the silkworm room to be eunuchs. At that time, Eunuch Fan was only twelve years old.
"Well, later on I was blinded by profit and wisdom. I listened to Zi Yan and Qiu Quan's words, and I did something wrong to the Queen and the Emperor. I deserved it when I fell into this situation. From these two things, I also came to a truth: power is a whirlpool , can stir up many people to death. Empress, this old slave said something so shameless, even if the emperor and you told me to go back to the palace, I would not dare to go. There is a vortex within a vortex."
Rong Changan didn't think so. How tiring it is to live in the vortex, and now that she can escape, it is considered a blessing among misfortunes. It's a pity that Zixuan and Chu Fei'er, whom she has always regarded as her own sisters, have become victims of this vortex.
When she just reincarnated from her previous life, she still harbored the resentment from her previous life, and wanted to punish Zi Yan, asking her to pay with blood. Now, she fell into Zi Yan's hands again, but her hatred did not increase, her heart was empty, and there was no depression anymore. If she could spend her life chatting in the deep mountains and old forests, what more could her husband ask for.
Why is this so? Rong Changan thought, being framed by Ziyan twice and falling down twice, shouldn't the anger increase? Shouldn't the hatred be stronger? She couldn't get the answer for a long time, until the capital appeared in sight, and she saw the three eye-catching big characters "Nanxunmen" again, and she understood why: it was not Ziyan who hurt her this time, but her deep love. Dear Yan Li! There is nothing greater than heart death, her heart is already dead, so there is no hatred anymore.
"Xue'er, look, what happened?" Eunuch Fan said, pointing to the city gate.
Rong Chang'an's bright eyes flickered, and he saw white flags fluttering outside Nanxun Gate and on the city tower, and the six armies were plain. White is the current main color of the capital, which contrasts with the white snow outside the city.
Rong Changan couldn't help frowning, his heart pounding: Could it be Yan Li...
Thinking this way in my mind, my feet slowed down, as if they were filled with lead, and it was very difficult to walk.
Eunuch Fan looked back and saw that Rong Changan had fallen a lot, so he stood still and waited for her: "Queen, what's wrong with you?"
Rong Changan's face was pale and ugly: "No... nothing."
Eunuch Fan seemed to see what she was thinking: "Don't worry, Xue'er, let's ask at the gate of the city before we know."
Rong Changan: "Hmm..." There was a heavy shadow on his brows and eyes.
When we came to the gate of the city, there happened to be a tea shop. Rong Changan and Eunuch Fan sat in and ordered a pot of tea and some steamed buns. While eating and drinking, Eunuch Fan pointed to the white flags and the city guards in sackcloth, and asked Dr. Cha
"What's the matter? Could it be that a royal family member died?"
Dr. Cha sighed, old-fashioned, with regret on his face: "You are right, a royal family member has gone."
Eunuch Fan and Rong Changan glanced at each other.
Eunuch Fan: "Who is it?"
"It's Queen Rong! Alas, the queen has worked hard for the country and won the hearts of the people. I don't want to just leave like this. It's a pity, a pity!"
Rong Changan and Eunuch Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Rong Changan: "You said that Empress Rong worked hard for the country and won the hearts of the people, isn't it true?"
Dr. Cha immediately became unhappy: "What did you say?"
Rong Chang'an sneered: "I heard that before Empress Rong died, she made a big mistake and went to assassinate Empress Chu and the prince. Shouldn't such a vicious woman deserve to die?"
