The coachman respectfully replied "yes" and "sighed", turned his horse's head, and drove towards the road when he came.
Not far away, the Prince Regent's car was behind him.
A thick layer of mattress was laid inside the carriage, so that even if the carriage was driving on a rugged mountain road, the people in the carriage would not feel uncomfortable.
The regent's slender and frail body was trapped in layers of mattresses, struggling to be trapped in a nightmare.
In the dream, there was the sound of fighting, swords and swords everywhere, and blood splattered everywhere.
He was surrounded by Dong Yao soldiers alone, and he wanted to break through the siege, but those soldiers seemed not to know that he was the regent of Dong Yao, and all their knives, halberds, swords and sticks slammed into him.
The helpless desperation made him frown painfully, sweat dripped from his pale face, rolled down his face, and fell into the soft thick mattress.
Suddenly, a group of people came rushing towards them in the boiling sky. He saw hope again at the moment of despair, and rushed towards them to break through.
However-
Wait until he succeeds in breaking through the encirclement and is about to meet up with the pair of men and horses.
His heart felt cold, and he lowered his head to look in panic. It was a knife with a cold light...
"ah!"
The regent suddenly woke up with a loud cry, dripping with cold sweat, and after a while his whole body seemed to be lifted from the water.
"My lord, what's the matter with you, my lord?"
The carriage stopped abruptly, and his bodyguard jumped into the carriage with a worried expression on his face.
The regent leaned weakly against the wall of the carriage, his pale complexion almost blended with the white mattress.
He waved his arms weakly, "It's nothing, I had a nightmare."
My lord is often disturbed by nightmares. Seeing his body getting weaker and weaker, Ding Cheng said anxiously, "My lord, why don't you put down the government affairs at hand, and let's go visit a famous doctor..."
The regent showed a wry smile on his face, "If the king leaves, what will the emperor do? He saved my life and gave me great favor. Now is the time for the king to repay him..."
"Furthermore, now that the Marquis of Bowang is holding his own troops, everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart. If I don't sit in the imperial court, I am afraid that he will rebel."
Ding Cheng's words were all blocked in his throat. He opened his mouth, but finally didn't speak again, and stepped back from the carriage carefully.
After a while, the carriage started slowly and started driving again.
The regent was leaning on the carriage wall, with his right hand resting on his heart. That heart was beating extremely slowly, one after another, not as active as a normal person.
He frowned, and slowly unbuttoned his shirt.
A large piece of chest was exposed, and on the thin body, there were large and small wounds, but the most hideous one was the bowl-sized knife scar on the heart, which almost ran through the back.
Thinking about the scene in the dream, the regent closed his eyes tightly.
So weird, so weird!
After waking up from the nightmare, the regent's spirit became worse and worse. He sank lazily into the softness, his eyes fixed on the wind chimes on the roof of the carriage. Gradually, he became drowsy and fell asleep in a daze.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, the carriage shook suddenly and then slowly stopped.
The regent's sleep was extremely light, and he woke up suddenly, "What?"
"My lord, the Bowanghou Mansion has arrived."
Ding Cheng heard Xixi's voice from inside, and hurriedly drove to the outside of the carriage, "Wait a moment, there is a carriage ahead."
The regent was bored in the carriage, so he poked his head out to take a look.
The carriage in front was like the symbol of Bowanghou Mansion. A slender woman got out of the carriage first. Immediately afterwards, several maids stepped forward and dug out a woman who had passed out.
As the mother-in-law walked around, a small half of her jade-white face was revealed, gleaming white and very eye-catching.
The regent's heart, which was beating slowly like an eighty-year-old man, suddenly beat sharply, and he couldn't help but climbed on the carriage and looked out.
It's just that those few people quickly entered the Hou's mansion and disappeared.
Feeling lost in his heart, he leaned against the wall of the carriage in a daze.
After a while, a laughing voice sounded like a bell of the famous Hou Hongzhong outside the carriage, "The regent is a rare visitor."
The regent frowned in disgust in the carriage, but it took only a moment for him to return to normal. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and let Ding Cheng carefully help him out of the carriage.
"Haha, the regent has been in Dongyao for so many years, and he never went to the banquet of his colleagues. Now this Marquis is the first one, which is really a great honor. Ben Hou's mansion is full of brilliance in an instant."
Like the regent, Bowanghou is a military general, but he is tall and strong, with a handsome face that is highly respected by the mainstream of Dongyao. It is different from the general who was a weak scholar when the regent was ill.
The regent smiled lightly, just as Bo Wanghou looked down on him, he also looked down on Bo Wanghou and other hypocritical people, but this time he came to someone else's house as a guest, at least he gave Bo Wanghou a face and didn't confront him face to face.
This attitude was much better than before, Bo Wanghou smiled brighter, and greeted him inside with a smile.
"I heard that the dancing concubine and the two princes are also here..."
"It's such a coincidence that the concubine dancer went to the garden with my wife, and the eldest prince accompanied her, but Master Lianhua is here." The two brothers, Bowanghou, seemed to drag him into the garden.
The regent frowned in discomfort, but didn't say anything, and Marquis Bowang, as a landlord, took him all the way to Sandalwood Residence.
After meeting the prince who became a monk with due courtesy, he wanted to go back to the guest room to rest, but he didn't expect that someone who had never cared about the government and the opposition would shout to stop him.
"My lord, wait a minute."
Lianhua's face was hidden in the curling sandalwood, which made the regent look a little unreal.
"What the prince asks for is here, and it will be available in a short time. However, there is a cycle of cause and effect. I hope the prince will think more about it when making a decision."
The regent was startled, he took a deep look at Lianhua, and said indifferently, "Thank you, master, for your guidance."
But he didn't take it seriously in his heart, the things that had troubled him for more than ten years, what he asked for...how could it be so easy to get.
Due to the visit of the Prince Regent, some Dongyao courtiers who were still wavering after receiving the invitation from Bowang Hou were ready to move.
The regent represents Emperor Dongyao, who can directly replace the emperor to give orders, and the emperor has given him the supreme right and wholehearted trust.
If it was said that they didn't have much feelings when Concubine Wu and the two princes came here, then the arrival of the regent made everyone feel relieved and decided to go to the banquet one after another.
Because the number of guests at the banquet exceeded the original plan, the entire Bowanghou Mansion got busy, hoping that the evening banquet would make the guests feel at home.
But the vicinity of Songbaiju is still deserted.
Qin Gentiana and Gu Jiuxiao were mercilessly thrown by the moon-watching lake next to Songbaiju. After a while, Su Li, who received the news, came in a hurry without even bringing any of his servants with him.
When she saw Gu Jiuxiao lying quietly next to Gentiana Qin, her eyes suddenly became ecstatic. She walked up to Gu Jiuxiao in a few steps, raised her foot to move the Gentiana beside him, squatted down happily, and finally fulfilled her wish.
