Rong Changan's eyebrows twitched, not daring to look into Yan Li's eyes.
"The emperor is joking! How can the daughter of a concubine and a commoner be compared with Empress Rong?"
Yan Li stared at Rong Chang'an for a long while. The creation of heaven and earth is really strange. After going to a Rong Changan, another Xueer who looks like a god comes. Should he thank God for the gift, or curse God for teasing him
"Don't be nervous!" Afterwards, Yan Li showed a faint smile on his sad face, "I'm just joking with you, don't take it seriously, we have to go to Nanxun Gate after eating!"
After eating some vegetarian dishes and drinking a bowl of noodle soup, Rong Changan wiped his mouth and stood up respectfully: "Your Majesty, my concubine is ready to eat!"
Yan Li took the white handkerchief handed over by Eunuch Lu and wiped his mouth: "I've eaten too, so let's go on the road!"
The emperor Fajia and the concubine's convoy had been waiting outside the Yong'an Palace for a long time, they got into their respective cars, the driver shouted "Get up", and the car drove out of the palace with a rattle.
Coming to Tianjie, Rong Changan suddenly called out "Chuntao". Chuntao was holding the incense box at the side and asked:
"What orders does Concubine Xue have?"
Rong Changan: "There is a dental shop on the street, and there is Mrs. Zhao in it. Go there and tell me my name, and she will give you a letter. You can bring the letter. Remember, keep it secret, and no one is allowed to read the letter. Content."
Although Chuntao was suspicious, she didn't dare to ask Rong Changan who sent the letter and what was written in the letter. Say "OK" and leave.
"Wait!" Rong Changan handed out a letter of money from the sedan chair, "You give this money to the matchmaker."
"yes!"
Chuntao looked at the convenience, left the team, came to the tooth shop, and reported the name "Xue'er". Mrs. Zhao gave her the letter that Wang Si had just brought back in the morning. Chuntao put down the silver letter, took the letter back to the team, and secretly handed it to Rong Changan.
Rong Changan opened it, and there were only a few simple words of reply on it. The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and it was undoubtedly written by Lin Hai. Knowing that he had received the news, Rong Changan felt relieved.
A large number of Taoist priests and monks were already sitting on the ground outside Nanxun Gate, cymbals, chimes, gongs, etc. were ringing together, and the sound of chanting sutras was babbling, all of which were invited by Yan Li to do the water and land dojo for Eunuch Fan people.
After the water and land dojo, Yan Li and Rong Chang'an came forward in person, performed a ceremony in front of the coffin, and carried the coffin to the Taiping cart. The team was mighty and mighty, heading towards the forest sea more than a hundred miles away.
"Xue'er" doesn't seem to be nervous. Is there really nothing wrong with her identity? Just like what she said, she is just a girl who was left behind and was taken in by Eunuch Fan, who recognized Eunuch Fan and his wife as righteous Parents? Yan Li was thinking about this problem all the time in the car.
Rong Chang'an's composure was just faking. Her heart is now beating violently.
After all, the old woman has never seen the world, under the threats and temptations of Zi Yan and his gang, will the old woman reveal everything about Rong Changan
Even if she was able to keep a secret in front of Zi Yan and his gang, would she still be able to remain calm when Yan Li asked her
Yan Li's aura is not something ordinary people can bear, Rong Chang'an is afraid that the old woman will be nervous for a while, and Yan Li will see her flaws. Yan Li's thoughts are meticulous!
If the old woman really revealed Rong Changan's true identity, how should she face Yan Li? How should Yan Li treat her? A series of questions lingered in Rong Changan's mind. After sitting in the sedan chair all day, she was very sleepy. She wanted to sleep for a while, but she couldn't.
Around noon, Fajia came near the market. Eunuch Lu said to Yan Li in the sedan chair:
"Your Majesty, there is a market about three or four miles ahead. Shall we go to the market first?"
Yan Li opened the curtain and looked to the southeast. Sure enough, he vaguely saw a house, hidden behind the poplar forest. The bazaar doesn't look big, and it can't bear the emperor's driving of thousands of people.
"Go and ask Concubine Xue Gui, if we want to go to the market to fight for the top."
Yan Li couldn't wait to see "Xue'er"'s family so he could find out Xue'er's identity, so he had no intention of going to the market.
Eunuch Lu brought Yan Li's words to Rong Chang'an, and Rong Chang'an also wanted to know the old lady's current situation, would Zi Yan's people make things difficult for her
"I'm not hungry, I think we should continue on. You can ask the emperor what he means."
Eunuch Lu brought Rong Changan's words to Yan Li again, and Yan Li smiled and said, "Since the queen is so eager to see her stepmother, let's make her come true! Tell the guards in front to continue driving until you reach the thatched cottage."
Eunuch Lu: "Follow the order!"
So the team moved forward as usual, and when the sun went down, they were only ten miles away from the thatched cottage.
Rong Changan opened the curtain and looked south, only to see a thick smoke billowing out of a sea of pine trees, and a fire flashed out of the thick smoke. Rong Changan was taken aback: What's the matter, how could there be fire? Isn't that the direction of thatched cottage
Rong Changan jumped out of the car and came to Yan Li's car: "The emperor is not well, the thatched cottage seems to be on fire!"
Yan Li also poked his head out to look to the south, and sure enough, he saw thick smoke and flames, he frowned and asked, "How could there be a fire?"
Rong Chang'an shook his head: "I don't know either, my concubine begs the emperor to bring me a team of guards, hurry up and take a look over there."
Yan Li said: "I will go with you too, and let Eunuch Lu and other people follow behind!"
So Yan Li picked up 300 cavalry, led by Rong Chang'an, and came straight to the thatched cottage. All the houses in the area were on fire, and even the nearby pine trees were on fire. Flames were burning everywhere, and thick smoke was billowing. How could we get close to the thatched cottage!
The thatched cottage was set on fire, what about the old lady and Lin Hai
Yan Li: "Who set this fire?"
Rong Changan jumped off his horse and tried to rush into the fire.
"Xue'er, stop!"
Yan Li jumped off and stopped Rong Changan.
Rong Changan: "Don't stop me, I want to go in and save my foster mother!"
Even though the old woman is not Rong Changan's real foster mother, Rong Changan treats her as a foster mother, now that the thatched cottage is on fire, she is dead or alive, why Rong Changan is not in a hurry to grieve.
The people from Ziyan must have started this fire. Besides them, who else would be so ruthless.
Yan Li hugged Rong Changan: "The fire is so fierce now, how do you get in? Not only can't save people, even you will be burned to death."
The fire was scraping and scraping, illuminating the forest sea as night fell. The firelight reflected Rong Changan's sad face.
A guard next to him said: "The fire doesn't seem to last long, and the person who set it on fire shouldn't be able to run very far. Your Majesty, let's look around now, maybe we can find some traces."
Yan Li said loudly: "In that case, what are you waiting for!"
When the guards heard what Yan Li said, they dispersed to find the whereabouts of the person who set the fire.
Rong Changan walked around the thatched cottage, the fire was too fierce, he couldn't get close, he could only look at the fire and sigh. Looking at the soaring fire, Rong Changan burst into tears. At this time, the old woman and Lin Hai were probably burned to charcoal.
Yan Li gave Rong Changan a consoling look: "Don't be sad, maybe your stepmother is not in the fire!"
Even if it was not in the fire, the old woman would be in danger. Ziyan's heart is cruel, if she finds out the secret of "Xue'er", how can she still give the old lady a living
A guard ran over: "Your Majesty, there are bloodstains over there."
