"I... I want to go and thank the general in person..."
Finally, Hua Qingxue said this.
"Going again?" Li Jingnan frowned, "Didn't you go there just now?"
"I remembered that there is something very important that I haven't told the general yet!" Hua Qingxue hurriedly shook off these words, turned around and ran out of the tent.
Li Jingnan finally escaped from Renqiu, she couldn't just watch him die!
Hua Qingxue would not give up unless she tried her best. At least before she left, she wanted to know the outcome! What on earth... will they do with Li Jingnan
Should he be respectfully sent back to the capital to ascend the throne as emperor, or should he be handed over to the... so-called Prince Ning
Hua Qingxue ran all the way back to Fu Tingye's tent. Fu Tingye happened to be outside. He and Qin Laowu stood together, seemingly explaining something.
When Fu Tingye saw Hua Qingxue running over, he raised his eyebrows slightly, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
"General..." Hua Qingxue stroked her chest and gasped, "...I, I have something to tell you."
Qin Laowu said to Fu Tingye, "I will make arrangements right now." Then he strode away.
Before leaving, he glanced at Hua Qingxue with a very strange look in his eyes.
But Hua Qingxue couldn't care about that at the moment and asked Fu Tingye anxiously: "General, please calm down. I'm really uneasy. The prince once saved my life. Although this matter has nothing to do with me, I really... really can't sit back and watch." ignore."
Fu Tingye frowned and looked at her, "Are you concerned about him?"
"If it weren't for His Highness the Crown Prince, I would have froze to death in Panlong Mountain right now."
Fu Tingye was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "So, you want to repay the favor of saving your life? But have you ever thought that once the matter is exposed, you will have no way to survive."
Hua Qingxue's face turned pale. She really didn't think that far ahead. Her only thought now was - if Fu Tingye didn't protect the prince, she would take Li Jingnan away! All over the world, you can go anywhere! As long as you can survive!
Seeing that she was silent, Fu Tingye said again: "Actually, it's not as bad as you think. If King Ning succeeds, he will probably imprison the prince and raise him as a rich kid. He will not do much in his life, but he will only have enough food and clothing. No worries.”
Hua Qingxue thought of Li Jingnan's bright black eyes. Every time he mentioned his father, his eyes revealed admiration and yearning. He wanted to be a good emperor. Although he was still young, Hua Qingxue could tell that Li Jingnan had always regarded his father as a role model and wanted to be a good emperor.
If such a child is kept in captivity like a canary...
Hua Qingxue couldn't imagine...
"Children are forgetful. When they return to Beijing, they may not remember you." Fu Tingye said lightly, "Don't worry, I will personally send him to Shengjing to ensure that His Highness the Crown Prince is safe and sound. Prince Ning cherishes feathers, even if he wants the Crown Prince His life will not be rushed for a moment."
"General...haven't you ever thought about supporting the crown prince to ascend the throne?" She probably knew that she was a bit shameless when she said this. Hua Qingxue's face turned red and she said bravely, "Although the prince is young, he is talented and kind-hearted. As long as he gives time, , he will definitely do something, that Prince Ning... Prince Ning, he took advantage of the situation when the country was in crisis, it shows that he is not a good person!"
laugh…
The unsmiling Fu Tingye smiled.
Hua Qingxue was stunned.
What's so funny! She's talking about something serious now, okay? !
Fu Tingye was really amused by Hua Qingxue. It was the first time he heard that the monarch of a country was judged by good guys and bad guys...
However, one thing she said was indeed right. The prince was very talented, and as long as he taught him carefully, he would become a talented person in the future. As for Prince Ning... Even if he wanted to join him, Prince Ning was very cunning and had capable people under his command, so he might not be able to reuse him.
And he, Fu Tingye, really didn't take Prince Ning seriously.
"Hua Qingxue!"
Little Baozi shouted loudly, running from a distance, his ecstatic look showed nothing of the majesty of His Royal Highness.
When he got close, he noticed that there were soldiers nearby looking over. Li Jingnan coughed twice, slowed down and walked over pretendingly.
"Hua Qingxue, His Highness is going back to Beijing soon. We can go together."
Hua Qingxue looked at Fu Tingye in surprise.
Fu Tingye: "Just now I was instructing my subordinates to arrange the food and utensils needed for the journey. If His Royal Highness is not in a hurry, you can have lunch first and then we set off."
Li Jingnan waved his hand and replied politely: "If you leave earlier, you can return to Shengjing earlier, and you can also make your father, the emperor, and the queen feel at ease earlier."
Hua Qingxue pursed her lips and remained silent.
Li Jingnan still doesn't know that during the period of his fall, his father... is no longer alive...
…
The two groups of troops were quickly prepared.
Hua Qingxue went to Panshui City and could arrive in less than an hour by carriage, so she only arranged a carriage and two soldiers.
But the prince's side had more than 300 people arranged, and the team looked quite spectacular.
Fu Tingye respectfully sent the prince to the car, but Li Jingnan ran to Hua Qingxue and said: "Hua Qingxue, when I return to the palace, I will ask my father to give you a reward! How about making you a Ruren? Seventh grade! "
Fu Tingye was speechless. He was a first-grade general. From now on, his general's wife would have to be at least a third-grade general, right
Brat, what do you mean by getting a seventh grade
Hua Qingxue had no idea about Ruren, so she shook her head and declined: "No, thank your father for me."
"That's not possible." Li Jingnan was embarrassed, "My father said that money is easy to scatter and kindness is hard to repay. If you have a kindness, you must repay it. Otherwise, it will be terrible if someone tries to repay the kindness and makes unsatisfactory demands in the future. .”
Hua Qingxue smiled, "Well, I heard that prices in Shengjing are high. Please ask your father to give me a house so that I can have a place to live if I go to Shengjing to visit you in the future. Is that okay?"
Li Jingnan's eyes lit up, "Are you really going to Shengjing to see me?"
"Everything is possible." Hua Qingxue said with a smile.
She thought for a while, then turned around and rummaged around in her carriage for a while, took out a piece of soap and handed it to Li Jingnan, "Here, a farewell gift."
The soap with the simplest production process does not add any fragrance or coloring, and has not been manually cut and processed. When you hold it in your hand, it is just a ball of yellowish brown and gray, and it is quite heavy.
Li Jingnan recognized that this was soap made by Hua Qingxue and was very surprised, "Has it been completed?"
"Well, you should be able to use it when you return to Shengjing." Hua Qingxue wrapped him in oilcloth and warned, "It is more convenient to cut it into small pieces before use."
Li Jingnan wrinkled his nose, "Your Highness doesn't need to wash clothes, so what's the use of this."
Although he was disgusted, he still took the soap.
Hua Qingxue opened her eyes wide and emphasized: "This is very useful. You can use it when you wash your hands..."
Seeing that the two of them were chatting endlessly, Fu Tingye coughed twice and said to the side: "Your Highness, it's time to set off."
Li Jingnan reluctantly left. After getting on the carriage, he held the carriage door open and waved to Hua Qingxue, "Remember to come and see me!"
Hua Qingxue also waved her hand: "I know!"
Fu Tingye has a black hair, what about these two people
Didn’t we just stay together for more than a month? As for being so affectionate? Like siblings...
Fu Tingye got on his horse and gave the order: "Let's go!"
As the sound spread, three hundred cavalrymen escorted the carriage and moved forward quickly.
Fu Tingye looked down at Hua Qingxue deeply - Woman, wait for me to come back!
Hua Qingxue: "???"
She watched Fu Tingye riding away inexplicably, and thought with trepidation in her heart: Bearded man... does he dislike me for delaying my departure? Otherwise, why are you staring at me fiercely? !
"Miss Hua, let's go too." A soldier said.
Hua Qingxue came to her senses and nodded, "Yes."
…
The horse-drawn carriage is the most ordinary and common style. Of course, it does not have rubber tires. In addition, the road is uneven, making Hua Qingxue bumpy and bumpy along the way.
She was sitting in the carriage, thinking about Li Jingnan all the time. Although Fu Tingye's words confirmed that the prince's life would not be in danger, Hua Qingxue felt particularly sorry for Li Jingnan when he thought of facing the death of his biological father and his uncle's coveting of the throne when he returned.
Only eight years old...
Just a primary school student, alas.
The accompanying soldiers approached the carriage and said to Hua Qingxue, "Miss Hua, Panshui City is ahead."
Hua Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then opened the carriage door curtain and looked out.
The majestic city wall in front is gradually approaching. It is strong and square and gives people a sense of ancient vicissitudes, full of power.
When she saw the simple and mottled words "Panshui City" on the city gate, she couldn't help but feel a little excited, and her anxiety because of Li Jingnan also dissipated a little.
As the carriage entered the city, it was indeed very different from the turbulent and tense Renqiu. The streets were scattered with pedestrians and vendors, and the shops on both sides sold all kinds of goods. Although it was not very prosperous, Hua Qingxue noticed that the people here There is no look of panic on the face like the people in Renqiu City, which shows that the public security and folk customs here are good.
From the initial impression, Hua Qingxue had a good impression of Panshui City.
The further in, the market becomes more lively, the shouts of sellers are endless, and the voice of the storyteller in the teahouse is heard from time to time in the carriage.
Because there were more and more pedestrians on the road, the speed of the carriage also slowed down. Hua Qingxue looked curiously, and the soldier who escorted her into the city said: "Miss Hua, after passing this street, just a little further on is the General's Mansion. "
… Why
Hey hey hey? ! !
Why should she go to the General's Mansion
Hua Qingxue said quickly: "No, no, I just want to get off here, stop."
The soldier was stunned for a moment, "But the general said..."
Hua Qingxue smiled: "The general said he would ask Butler Zhao to take care of me, but I am new here, so it would be presumptuous for me to pay him a visit. It won't be too late to go to the general's residence after I settle down."
The soldiers became even more confused.
is that so? … Could it be that he misunderstood the general’s meaning
Looking back now, it seems that the general only ordered Miss Hua to be sent to the general's mansion, and did not say what to do if she was unwilling...
The carriage stopped and Hua Qingxue got out of the carriage.
The soldier was worried and said again: "Miss Hua, if you want to go to the General's Mansion, remember to go straight along this street and turn to the southeast corner. There are two big stone lions at the door."
Hua Qingxue nodded and thanked them, but she was thinking in her heart: If possible, I'd better not go to Big Beard's territory...
