Ren Yaoqi took a slow breath and forced himself to calm down: "When are you leaving?"
Xiao Jinglin helped Ren Yaoqi to sit down on the Nankang, and replied, "Right now, wait for Hongying to mobilize the troops and leave."
Ren Yaoqi nodded. She wanted to ask again, but she didn't know what to ask. She hadn't experienced this kind of moody feeling for a long time.
Thinking about what Xiao Jingxi said when he left, Ren Yaoqi felt that she should trust Xiao Jingxi and believe that he would come back with all his tails for her and the child.
Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi and was a little worried. If other women heard this kind of news, they would definitely cry, but Ren Yaoqi would not, and it was precisely because Ren Yaoqi would not know that Xiao Jinglin was even more worried, for fear that she would hold back all her emotions and hurt her body.
But she couldn't think of anything to comfort her now. With Ren Yaoqi's intelligence, any words of comfort she said were useless. All she can do now is to get back to Xiao Jingxi as soon as possible and let him come back safely.
What Xiao Jinglin said was really fast, and Hongying came over not long after that.
Xiao Jinglin thought for a while, and finally just put her hand on Ren Yaoqi's shoulder and said, "Don't worry."
Ren Yaoqi has calmed down now, at least there is no panic on her face. She raised her head and nodded to Xiao Jinglin with a smile: "Well, you should also pay attention to safety, I will wait for you to come back."
Xiao Jinglin nodded, got up and left.
After Xiao Jinglin left, Ren Yaoqi picked up a book that she had put on the kang table and read it, trying to calm her mind, but after reading it for a long time, she found that she hadn't even turned half a page.
Ren Yaoqi gave a wry smile, finally put down the book, and let go of her disguised calmness. She was just an ordinary woman who would sit still and feel uneasy for her husband who was in deep danger.
The situation in the north is complicated, and Xiao Jingxi's whereabouts are unknown. Although Xiao Jinglin brought someone to respond, Ren Yaoqi still had no way to be completely relieved.
Could she just sit here and wait for his news? Ren Yaoqi has always believed that only after he has exhausted his personnel can he obey the destiny. Although Xiao Jingxi is now thousands of miles away, and she is also detained in the inner courtyard of the palace, there are always some things she can do.
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi stood up.
Apple, who was carefully waiting on the side, immediately came to support Ren Yaoqi: "Miss, what do you want?"
Ren Yaoqi said, "Go to the study."
Apple thought that Ren Yaoqi wanted to go to the study to practice calligraphy and painting, but instead of Ren Yaoqi, he went out.
There are two study rooms in Zhaoning Hall. Among the five rooms in the main hall, the west room is a small study room, which is used by Ren Yaoqi on weekdays. Sometimes Xiao Jingxi also accompanies Ren Yaoqi to read and write here.
However, Xiao Jingxi also has a study, in the outer hall of Zhaoning Hall, where he usually handles official business. Ren Yaoqi said that the study that he was going to was this outer study.
Apple glanced at Ren Yaoqi, but still didn't say anything, quietly followed her and supported her arm.
Xiao Jingxi never stopped Ren Yaoqi from going to his outer study, but Ren Yaoqi rarely went there. The rules that women in the inner house should abide by, she keeps them so that no one can fault them.
Although Xiao Jingxi was not there, there were still people left behind in his study. The people who stayed behind were Xiao Jingxi's close attendants Tong Xi and Tong He.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi coming over, Tongxi and Tonghe respectfully stepped forward and saluted, "Young Madam"
Ren Yaoqi nodded and asked, "Do you have the key to the study?"
Tongxi and Tonghe looked at each other, and Tonghe lowered his head and said, "Mrs Hui, the little ones have to clean the study every day, and the keys are in the little ones' hands."
"Then open the door for me, I want to go in."
Tong He glanced at Ren Yaoqi, thought about it, and finally took out the key without asking anything, and opened the door of the study behind him.
It stands to reason that Xiao Jingxi's study is the place where official business is handled on weekdays. It is considered to be an important palace. When Xiao Jingxi is away, no one should be allowed in. Otherwise, if something happens, their servants will lose their lives. All are light.
If someone else is guarding the study today, they may not dare to let Ren Yaoqi in when Xiao Jingxi is away, but Tong He has been by Xiao Jingxi's side since he was a child, and he has an extremely precise grasp of the master's intentions, so he After thinking for a moment, a decision was made.
After Ren Yaoqi entered, Tong He and Tongxi did not follow up to avoid suspicion, only Apple went in to serve.
Tongxi moved his lips and asked in a low voice, "Isn't this illegal?"
Tong He lifted his eyelids and glanced at Tong Xi, and also moved his lips: "Why didn't you say anything when I opened the door?"
Tongxi blinked, he was originally the one who offered the palace, and he had Ren Yaoqi as his master. His master had his life, so he had to obey, right
Tong He gently moved his lips without changing his face: "Master explained it a long time ago, the young lady's order is his order, and I just follow the order. No matter how important the rules are, they are not as important as the master's orders."
Tongxi glanced at Tong He, grinned, and honestly guarded the door for the master inside.
Tongxi and Tonghe's lip-synching conversations could not be heard clearly when standing beside them, so Ren Yaoqi, who had already entered the study, naturally didn't hear it.
After Ren Yaoqi went in, he looked around, let him walk straight to the desk full of official documents and sat down, then flipped through the official documents on the desk.
Although there are a lot of things on the bookcase, and there are piles of official documents, Xiao Jingxi placed them in different categories, so it was not messy, and Ren Yaoqi was not in a hurry, so he picked up the official documents and looked at them carefully.
Apple silently stood behind Ren Yaoqi and waited without saying a word.
Ren Yaoqi sat there for several hours. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Apple found a lampstand, lit a candle and placed it on the desk, and then quietly backed out.
After a while, Apple brought a tea tray in and put it on the small table beside him. In the tea tray was a chicken soup, a bowl of porridge, and a few plates of snacks.
"Miss, use something first."
Ren Yaoqi, who was thinking about a paper, came back to her senses. Although she had no appetite, she thought of the child in her belly, Ren Yaoqi, and did not let Apple persuade him to put down the things in her hand. She walked to the small table and sat down. I ate all the food brought by the apple one by one, leaving only a few pieces of pastry.
After eating, Ren Yaoqi walked back and forth in the study, and then sat down behind the desk again.
It wasn't until the third watch drum sounded outside that Ren Yaoqi got up and took Apple out of the study.
Tongxi and Tonghe were still waiting outside. They originally wanted to go in and remind the master that it was getting late, and they didn't want the master to come out by himself.
After Ren Yaoqi left, Tongxi congratulated Tongxi: "Don't worry, the young lady knows what she is doing, and she knows when it's time to eat and rest."
Ren Yaoqi really knows what she knows, she is a person with a body now, and she will not use the child in her stomach to make her temper.
Ren Yaoqi sat in the study for several hours, and she didn't get anything for nothing. She rested for a night, and the next day's breakfast still used the usual weight, so that the princess was worried and sent to watch her dinner. The maid returned with satisfaction.
And after Ren Yaoqi finished breakfast, he took Apple to the study again.
Ren Yaoqi put together the several official documents he found yesterday, read it carefully, and then thought about it.
From these official documents, Ren Yaoqi pieced together some clues. At this time, Ren Yaoqi was especially grateful to Mr. Pei. When he was studying with Mr. Pei back then, Emperor Pei liked to test her ability to analyze useful information from words. Sometimes a book can't give you the answer, but several books together can find the answer.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a long time, then took out a blank letterhead from Xiao Jingxi's desk and wrote a letter with a pen.
After writing, he sealed his mouth, and Ren Yaoqi handed the letter to Apple: "Let Yuan Dayong go to the river and deliver this letter to my grandmother."
Apple took the letter with both hands and bowed its head.
After the two left the study, Apple called Leshan and Leshui to let them serve Ren Yaoqi, and left in a hurry with Ren Yaoqi's letter in his hand.
Ren Yaoqi took Leshan and Leshui to the Jiuyang Temple, and she still remembered that the princess told her to let her walk around.
On that day, after Xiao Jinglin left from the Yanbei Palace, she took her people out of the city immediately and galloped north all the way.
After leaving Yunyang City for half a day and arriving in Sheng'an County, Xiao Jinglin suddenly stopped the horse without warning.
This time, the people Xiao Jinglin brought out were all her confidants and elites. When she stopped the horse and raised her hand, everyone stopped, and their movements were uniform, even the neighs of the horses were neat.
"The county master? Do you want to rest in place?" Hongying tightened the horse's head and asked for instructions.
Xiao Jinglin wants to rush to Wuzhou, and it stands to reason that she will not stop and rest at this time.
Xiao Jinglin was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "You take them to continue on the road, and I will meet you at the next resting place."
Hongying bowed her head and said yes, then made a gesture to the person behind her, and galloped out in the lead. A group of people followed, and no one glanced at Xiao Jinglin who was parked on the side.
Xiao Jinglin and the others left before turning the horse's head.
They were not walking on the official road, but a relatively wide path. There was nothing on the way except the dust raised by the horses passing by.
Xiao Jinglin said coldly, "I've followed you all the way, come out."
There was still no movement in front of her, and Xiao Jinglin didn't speak any more, but just stared coldly at a mountain road intersection hidden behind a stone wall not far away.
After a while, there was finally movement there. One person and one horse appeared from behind the stone wall and walked out from the fork.
