Mist gradually appeared on the official road, and the shadows of the trees swayed.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves came closer and closer.
Su Ziyu's expression changed slightly when she saw Yang Rui speeding towards him from the mist.
He shouted softly, and when Yang Rui heard the sound, he pulled the reins quickly, stopped the horse, and jumped in front of Su Ziyu.
"Ziyu, as you expected, someone stopped you halfway."
Su Ziyu felt anxious and blurted out, "How is she...?"
Yang Rui swallowed his saliva and said, "She was already on guard, so she won't be hurt. I sent her to Yongle Town and then came back."
"Who's stopping me halfway?"
"Turk!"
"Barbarians?" Su Ziyu was shocked.
Yang Rui quickly put his hand on his shoulder and lowered his voice: "This matter is very strange. I have been running and thinking about it, but I still can't figure it out."
"Zhang Yunlong entered the palace at midnight the day before. The next day, the emperor dismissed the court and immediately announced the three kings to the palace."
Yang Rui was startled, "What happened?"
Su Ziyu shook his head, "I can't find out anything about it, but it should be related to things in the northwest."
Yang Rui touched his head and asked, "What happened in the northwest? Could it be that something happened to King Shou?"
Su Ziyu's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice and said, "Probably yes. Otherwise, Gu Qingwan wouldn't be allowed to take action."
"What will happen to King Shou? Is he sick?"
"It's either an illness or an injury."
Yang Rui instantly raised his head and met Su Ziyu's calm eyes, which were as dark as an ancient well, showing neither sadness nor anger.
He couldn't help but shudder, "Ziyu, you mean... someone took action?"
Su Ziyu smiled lightly, slowly lowered his eyes, placed his hand on Yang Rui's shoulder, and sighed softly, "Go back, we will know sooner or later."
At this moment in Beifu, Jiang Hongwen, wearing a white robe and a plain hat, was sitting under the lamp reading a book.
Two guards from the Beifu behind him, one on the left and one on the right, stared at him.
Perhaps Jiang Hongwen was tired of reading, so he pushed the book away, walked out of the room, stood under a locust tree, and let out a long sigh at the moon.
The two people behind him followed closely, hiding in the darkness, but their eyes remained fixed on Jiang Hongwen.
When Jiang Hongwen saw this, he laughed loudly and said, "I am a helpless person to begin with. If you stare at me like this, you can think highly of me. Liu Jian, if I tell you, you are too timid."
Liu Jian walked slowly, as if he hadn't heard the sarcasm in his words.
"There are too many thieves in Beifu. I am doing this for your safety, Master Qi."
"Yeah?"
Jiang Hongwen looked at him with interest, "I am really safe here in Beifu!"
Liu Jian frowned and said, "Is the seventh master really unwilling to tell where the prince is hiding?"
"Prince? Which prince?"
Jiang Hongwen raised his eyebrows and smiled, "The wise king is far away in the capital, and the longevity king is in the army. Which prince is Brother Liu asking about?"
Liu Jian's face turned cold.
For several days, every household in Yongle Town was searched, but no trace of King Shou was found. Where was he hiding? He was running out of patience.
"Why should the seventh master pretend to be crazy? Which prince I am asking about, the seventh master should know very well."
"I'm sorry, I don't know. It's too turbid here, so I won't accompany you. Brother Liu will enjoy the moon slowly."
Jiang Hongwen shook his sleeves and walked straight in, shouting as he walked: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid he has already received my dream entrustment. If you count the time, you should be on your way. Alas... your steps are so slow!"
Liu Jian looked at the robe that was left at the door, his expression changed drastically, he suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and threw away his sleeves.
After walking out of the second door, the master hurriedly greeted me, "Master, I searched again and still found nothing. What should I do?"
Liu Jian's eyes flashed fiercely and he said: "Where can they hide? There are only a few hundred households in Yongle Town? If we can't find them again, we will all die."
The master made a sad face. He also wanted to know that there were guards on all sides of Yongle Town. If he escaped, it would be impossible not to happen.
Where can a few big living people hide
"Have you sent someone to conduct a detailed inspection of the Shi family's grain store?" Liu Jian suddenly said.
"I checked twice and there is indeed no one."
"No, let me check again. That woman is on good terms with the Shi family, except for Yongle Town..."
Suddenly, Liu Jian seemed to have thought of something, and said sternly: "Have you sent someone to check the warehouse where the grain is stored?"
The master was shocked and said, "Master, I'll go right away."
"Master, master... something bad has happened. The Zhenbei Army is five miles away."
When Liu Jian heard this, he took a few steps back and said sternly: "Here, bring Jiang Hongwen to me."
The granary of the grain store is located in the back yard of the shop.
The several-foot-wide room was filled with piles of last year's old rice, and there was a faint musty smell.
Behind the pile of rice, there is a small space separated by a curtain, with only a bed and a chair, which can accommodate a few people.
Gu Qingguan placed the freshly cooked medicine in Zhao Jingyan's hand.
"Drink the medicine."
Zhao Jingyan looked at her from bottom to top, "Ku, hey!"
Shameless!
This guy's health was getting better and better day by day, but his mouth was getting poorer and poorer day by day. She couldn't bear it anymore.
The interest in Zhao Jingyan's eyes gradually grew, and she said shamelessly: "Wan Wan, I'm so weak that I can't even lift my hands. If you don't believe me, touch me!"
Gu Qingguan glared at him and picked up the medicine cup resignedly.
There were only three days left to remove the poison. There was only a little residual poison in his body, and the acupuncture was already painful enough.
He had just pulled out the needle, and he really didn't even have the strength to lift his arm.
Gu Qingguan tasted the temperature and whispered: "Open your mouth."
Zhao Jingyan found her look a bit funny, tugged her lips, and finally opened her mouth obediently.
After taking the medicine, a little drooled down the corners of her lips. The man looked at her with a smile, motionless.
Gu Qingguan gritted his teeth, his heart pounding, he took out the handkerchief from his arms and gently wiped the corners of his lips.
For some reason, her fingertips touched his soft lips, and an electric current coursed through Qingguan's body, making her whole body feel numb and hot.
Gu Qingguan was already frightened, but this touch made him even more frightened, and he bit his lip unconsciously.
Gu Qingguan did not doubt that he was there, and said: "Drink the medicine first, and I will come to see you later."
"can not wait anymore!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Jingyan gently pulled her hand, Qingguan's feet softened, and she fell into his arms.
The man's handsome and extraordinary facial features magnified in front of her eyes. The next moment, cold lips touched hers.
It was obviously a cool touch, but Gu Qingguan felt a frightening heat suddenly explode from his lips.
Her mind was blown to pieces.
She felt inexplicably afraid.
I am afraid that if I indulge in it, I will fall into an abyss. However, I can't refuse...
After a long time, Zhao Jingyan let go of her fiercely, breathing hard, her delicate Adam's apple rolling up and down,
Zhao Jingyan looked at her deeply, her eyes surprisingly bright.
It's terrible!
Why is she only fifteen!
Gu Qingwan looked back at him with moist eyes, her fingertips gently touched his face, and her mind felt confused. There is a distant and familiar sound in my ears, but I can't make out what it is.
Because the buzz shuts out the whole world.
"Wanwan!"
Zhao Jingyan grabbed her hand and said with a strange laziness in her voice, "When I return to Beijing, I will ask my father to grant me a marriage. We will never be separated in this life!"
Gu Qingguan pushed him away fiercely, turned his back, looked at the curtain, and smiled sadly.
One winter day many years ago, she suddenly wanted to eat sesame cakes from the West Market. The two of them got into a carriage and drove unsteadily on the bluestone road.
In the small and closed space, he slowly moved over and asked her, who was smiling at the side: "Ziqi, do you know where the most beautiful part of your face is?"
She thought about it seriously, "Mom said, my skin is good and can be broken by a blow; Dad said, my eyes are good, black and shiny."
He shook his head, stretched out his slender fingers in front of her, and landed on her lips, "This place... looks the best."
After saying that, he lowered his head and touched her lips lightly.
Her heart was pounding, and she felt indescribably nervous.
He and she were so close. His fingers touched her face, and the temperature on his fingertips was so hot that her body felt like it was on fire.
"Are you... kissing me?"
"Well, be good, close your eyes."
She asked stupidly: "I don't want it, I want to look at you."
He smiled softly, gently covered her eyes, and moved his lips closer to whisper in her ear, "If you look at me, I won't dare."
She immediately closed her eyes obediently, a little joy welling up in her heart.
My mother said that if a man kisses a woman, even if it leaves a mark on her heart, they will never be separated in this life.
The oath is still there, things have changed and people have changed.
She once flew towards that man like a moth to a flame, without fear; but now, she no longer has the courage she had back then.
"I'm sorry, Zhao Jingyan, I won't marry you."
Zhao Jingyan's body suddenly stiffened.
After the lingering lovemaking just now, she couldn't help but kiss back and snuggle into her arms tamely. She was obviously in love, so why was she still so stubborn.
There was no movement behind him, Gu Qingwan lowered his eyes, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.
Suddenly, an arm wrapped around me, strong and powerful.
Gu Qingwan froze, and a low and magnetic voice sounded in his ears.
"Gu Qingwan, don't be in a hurry to say cruel words. I said, you have entered my heart, and I will never let you walk out again in this life."
Gu Qingwan was furious, turned around and pushed him away, looking straight into his eyes.
"You have eighteen concubines in your house, you will be ninety-five supremes in the future, and you will have three thousand beauties in your harem. There are so many women in the world waiting for your favor. Why are you still pestering me?"
Zhao Jingyan smiled slightly.
At the age of fifteen, she has beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and the curvature of her neck is long and beautiful. When she turns around, her clothes are flying, and her elegance is light.
Maggi!
That smile was quite dazzling in Gu Qingguan's eyes. Couldn't he understand what she said
However, before she could say anything, the man had already gently pulled her into his arms. "Gu Qingwan, when I return to Beijing, I will put everything clearly in front of you. There are no concubines, there are no three thousand beauties, only you."
