It has been more than a month since Shen Miao left the Ding capital.
I don't know where Prince Rui's chariot and horse team have gone now, but they can't catch up after all. For the past month or so, the chatter in the Ding capital about the 10-mile red makeup and the prosperous wedding has not stopped. When the storyteller in the restaurant talked about the grand occasion of Prince Rui's marriage to his concubine that day, it was still full of guests.
After all, such a heroic handwriting, but not everyone can afford it.
After Shen Miao was transformed into Princess Rui, and after Prince Rui married the Great Liang, two things happened in the Ding capital.
One thing is that the Fengxian pawnshop, which has been open for many years in the Ding capital, suddenly closed its doors. All night, everyone from the shopkeeper to the clerk was empty. The shops and buildings of the Fengxian pawnshop were sold to others at low prices. , I heard that the shopkeeper of Fengxian's pawnshop had an emergency at home and needed money for emergency help, so he left suddenly. This is a bit embarrassing. Although Fengxian pawnshops cherish the business they do, those who come to pawn or buy things are either rich or expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it, but in the end they have been here for so many years and suddenly left , and a little uncomfortable.
It was only after the change of owner that the common people realized that for so many years, no one had seen what the shopkeeper of Fengxian Pawnshop looked like.
The second thing is that the mighty general Shen Xin was promoted after his daughter got married. Was promoted to be a military officer. The garrison who ruled the entire dynasty.
On the surface, it is a promotion, but in fact it is not. First of all, the military officer only has the power to make orders but not to train troops. It is just an empty job. Although the salary is better than that of the general, who is living with the salary? Furthermore, Shen Xin had always trained as the Shen family army, and the Shen family army was his personal soldier. Suddenly, the imperial army was changed. The imperial army was from Emperor Wen Hui. Can Shen Xin really be mobilized? I'm afraid not.
So everyone with eyes and brains knew that Emperor Wen Hui was protecting Shen Xin. Shen Miao married Great Liang and Shen Xin had the temperament to dote on his daughter, Great Liang had such a delicate relationship with Ming Qi now, if Shen Xin preferred his daughter and secretly took refuge in Great Liang and did something bad to Ming Qi, then But it's bad.
Although Shen Xin has been a general in Ming Qi for so many years, his loyalty can be learned from the world, but emperors have been suspicious since ancient times. Who called him a minister and others were a monarch? He can only blame himself for being unlucky.
The people in the court can see clearly, but the common people feel injustice for Shen Xin, and the royal family is too ruthless. It was obviously the marriage bestowed by Emperor Wen Hui, but at this moment, because of this marriage, there was a disagreement, and it was really annoying to let Shen Xin take responsibility for nothing.
Emperor Wen Hui doesn't care about these things. He is now trying his best to please the Emperor of Qin. For some reason, the Great Liang always makes him feel uneasy, as if it is a potential danger. At least join forces with Qin, otherwise he will be restless every day. .
Prince Ding's mansion has not been very happy recently.
Fu Xiu Yi said with a gloomy expression, "It's been a month, and Pei Lang's whereabouts have not been found out yet. Could it be that he will fly to the sky and escape? If you live to see people die, you will see corpses. If you don't find anyone, then don't come back."
The spies below agreed, and Fu Xiu Yi waved his hand irritably, "Go away!"
Several people backed away in a jerk.
He sat down on the chair and pressed his forehead, his expression a little unhappy.
The person who rescued Pei Lang set fire to his dungeon. I didn't think that it was inconvenient for Fu Xiu Yi to do anything these days. Many people in the dungeon had other functions for him, but they were burned by the group. One can imagine the anger in Fu Xiu Yi's heart.
What annoyed him the most was that when he traced Pei Lang's whereabouts, he had not found any clues so far. Fu Xiu Yi thought that he had good ears and eyes in Dingjing, but he couldn't find out the whereabouts of any one person. It could only mean that the other party was more skilled than him. It was not a happy thing to have such an opponent.
Fu Xiu Yi had always suspected that the people behind Pei Lang belonged to the Shen family, but after investigation, the suspicions of the Shen family could be ruled out.
"Your Highness, there is no news of Pei Lang inside or outside the Dingjing, could it be because Pei Lang has already left the city?" the staff reminded Fu Xiu Yi.
"Impossible." Fu Xiu Yi said, "The city guards have my people, and the people who leave the city these days have portraits. It's impossible for Pei Lang to pass by safely."
The aide frowned when he heard the words, not knowing how to speak.
"However, some people don't need to use the portrait." Fu Xiu Yi said suddenly, "When Prince Rui married his concubine and went out of the city, no one stopped the guards and soldiers of Prince Rui's mansion when they left the city."
The staff's eyes lit up: "Could it be that Pei Lang mixed in with Prince Rui's people and went out with him?"
Fu Xiu Yi sneered, "Prince Rui's mansion is so guarded, how can we get in? Besides, Pei Lang and Prince Rui don't have any friendship, so how can we get along..." He stopped abruptly, "Friendship?"
At this moment, Fu Xiu Yi suddenly remembered something. For a long time, he regarded Pei Lang as a member of the "Shen family", and the person in charge of the "Shen family" was Shen Xin, but he had overlooked one point. In fact, from many things, intentionally or unintentionally hindered his great cause. It was all related to Shen Miao.
If "Shen Family" and "Shen Miao" were viewed separately, if Pei Lang was not loyal to "Shen Family" but "Shen Miao", everything made sense.
Pei Lang is from Shen Miao, Shen Miao is Princess Rui now and seems to have some unclear relationship with Prince Rui before this, Prince Rui may help to save Pei Lang once, looking at Shen Miao’s affection .
Then Pei Lang and Prince Rui were also related.
Fu Xiu Yi stood up abruptly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a possibility. In the entire Ding capital, there were people who had the ability to burn down the dungeon of Prince Ding's mansion without even knowing it, and still be able to escape without leaving any traces. There is only this mysterious and unpredictable Prince Rui.
"Damn it!" Fu Xiu Yi slapped the table, he always wanted to know what secret Prince Rui was hiding. But the night before Shen Miao got married, the spies he sent out never came back, thinking that they were discovered and silenced. Otherwise, he would know what the deep secret Prince Rui was hiding was.
When I was annoyed, I saw a guard hurried in outside. This person is Fu Xiu Yi's confidant, he quickly stepped forward, took out a letter from his pocket, and said, "The princess sent a letter to the palace. This subordinate intercepted the letter and rubbed it. One, please take a look, Your Highness."
Fu Xiu Yi's heart moved, and he hurriedly accepted the letter. In the matter of Prince Rui, Princess Rongxin also behaved very abnormally. Fu Xiu Yi wanted to find out something, but since Prince Rui and Shen Miao left the capital, neither Princess Rongxin nor Ping Nanbo’s residence did anything. If something special happens, he still has to do what to do every day, so he can't start.
Princess Rongxin has been a widow for many years, and is not very friendly with Emperor Wenhui. It is rare to enter the palace all year round, let alone write a letter. It was also thanks to Princess Rong Xin who stayed away from the palace for so many years that Fu Xiu Yi was able to print her letter so easily.
Fu Xiu Yi took out the letter and started reading impatiently. At first his expression was just a little anxious, but as time went on, his expression changed.
It seems extremely shocked and angry, and even with extreme anger, the facial features are a little distorted. Seeing him like this, the staff next to him didn't dare to let out the air. After a while, Fu Xiu Yi suddenly supported the table with one hand and suddenly overturned the teapot on the table.
The poured tea spilled all over the ground, and the staff and confidants were shocked. In the end, Fu Xiu Yi was a person who was neither happy nor angry, even though there were occasional moments of anger, he was not so exposed. It seemed that this was the first time I had seen him so rude.
Fu Xiu Yi only spit out the word "good" and smashed the letter on the staff's face. The staff hurriedly took it, and he was stunned when he saw it.
In the letter, Princess Rong Xin mentioned one thing, which was about Prince Rui. Everyone knew that because Princess Rong Xin and Princess Yuqing had a very good relationship, they even took care of Xie Jing Xing who was born to Princess Yuqing. Even for Xie Jing Xing's sake, he was even at the mercy of the Marquis of Lin'an. Later, when Xie Jing Xing died in battle two years ago, Princess Rong Xin was very sad.
Princess Rong Xin naturally knew about Xie Jing Xing, but in Zhe Feng's heart, Princess Rong Xin proposed a sensational thing, Princess Rong Xin felt that Prince Rui of Great Liang and Xie Jing Xing were quite similar.
This is unfounded. Suddenly, Prince Rui of Great Liang is similar to a person who has been dead for more than two years. The first reaction must be absurd. But Fu Xiu Yi had been paying attention to the Princess Mansion for so long, and he had already discovered something unusual about Princess Rong Xin. Needless to say, Fu Xiu Yi was almost certain that what Princess Rong Xin said was the truth.
There is no need to doubt that the real identity of that Prince Rui who came from Great Liang is Xie Jing Xing.
The staff's hands were almost unsteady to hold this letter, is Xie Jing Xing Prince Rui? What does that mean, it means that Xie Jing Xing is playing with the whole Ming Qi in applause, if Xie Jing Xing had private contacts with Great Liang when he was still the prince of the Marquis of Lin'an, then everything that happened to Ming Qi, I am afraid that Great Liang All know well.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..." The staff looked at Fu Xiu Yi, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
Fu Xiu Yi did calm down slowly, but looking closely, his hands seemed to be shaking a little.
“Since Xie Jing Xing is not dead, the matter of Xie Jiajun in Northern Xinjiang must have already happened…” He said slowly.
The Xie family army was mixed with members of the royal family, Xie Ding's confidant stabbed Xie Jing Xing fatally in it, since Xie Jing Xing was not dead, he wanted to find out the details. It also meant that everything they did to the Marquis of Lin'an Mansion was seen by Xie Jing Xing. Then this time Ming Qi paid tribute, what did Xie Jing Xing come to do, was he here for revenge
Fu Xiu Yi supported the table.
The staff were also extremely at a loss, and after a pause, they said, "Since the princess has already sent this letter to the palace, Your Majesty will take action when she knows it."
“It’s useless.” Fu Xiu Yi interrupted him, “Xie Jing Xing has left Dingjing for more than a month, and the royal father is afraid of Da Liang’s momentum, so he doesn’t dare to confront him. If Xie Jing Xing hasn’t left, he can use the world to provoke him. Disputes, unfortunately it is too late now."
The staff also sighed with embarrassment: "Why didn't the princess take out this letter earlier? If it was earlier, it would not be so helpless as it is now."
Fu Xiu Yi glanced at him, and seemed to be displeased with the stupidity of his subordinates. His staff felt flustered when he looked at him, only to hear Fu Xiu Yi say, "Stupid, the princess must have thought of a way to notify the royal father before, maybe she did it the night before the wedding ceremony. In the end, it was stopped by Xie Jing Xing just like my men.”
Although he tried his best to hold back his anger, he still couldn't hide his anger in his eyes: "Xie Jing Xing... it's too deep to hide!"
"Then the Shen family..." the staff asked.
"Continue to stare." Fu Xiu Yi sneered, "I want to see if the Shen family knows nothing about Xie Jing Xing's identity, or they have been acting stupid for so many years."
At this moment, everyone in Shen's house still didn't know what happened in Prince Ding's mansion.
Since Shen Xin was promoted to military officer, because he didn't have to personally lead the troops, he didn't go to the military headquarters every day. Shen Qiu was still in his old position, and he and Luo Ling were small leaders in the garrison. Days are much looser than before.
Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin were discussing: "If we don't have a few more days, how about we go back to Xiaochun City with Your Majesty?" Luo Xueyan sighed, "At least in Xiaochun City, we won't waste time like this."
Shen Xin shook his head: "The emperor kept us in Dingjing just to guard against the movement of the Shen family. It is impossible to let us go back to Xiaochun City. Staying in Dingjing will become a pawn to contain Jiaojiao, and we will be able to do things in the future."
Luo Xueyan vaguely felt that Shen Xin's words were a bit strange, as if they were implying something, just as he was about to ask a question, he heard Shen Xin sigh: "Besides, there is no news from Tan'er right now, and if I really want to go back, I don't dare to see Mr. Yuezhang. and uncle."
"That's true." When he mentioned this, Luo Xueyan felt a headache: "I have already sent someone to send a letter to Jiaojiao and the others, but Jing Xing's staff are quick to teach, and I don't know if they will catch up, it will take time to come and go. , there is no news now, I feel uneasy in my heart."
The day Shen Miao’s wedding ceremony left the city, Luo Tan did not come to deliver it, it was said that it was because Shen Miao refused to take her to Great Liang to be sullen and did not want to witness the parting scene with her own eyes. Luo Tan was self-willed in the Shen family, and everyone was helpless. And after Shen Miao left the city that day, it was already evening when she came back, Luo Tan's maid said that Luo Tan had fallen asleep, Luo Xueyan thought that Luo Tan was not happy, so she did not bother her.
It wasn't that Luo Xueyan didn't care about her niece, but everyone knew that Luo Tan was brave, but they didn't expect Luo Tan to be so brave. When Luo Tan quietly followed Shen Xin and the others to Dingjing, it was because they were all from their own family, and they were all in Ming Qi anyway. This time, it was from Ming Qi to Great Liang, a completely unfamiliar foreign country. The people accompanying him were all from Prince Rui, and Luo Tan didn't know him, so he probably wouldn't dare.
Who knows that this Miss Luo family is also a fiery temperament, and even dares to ride a thousand miles alone. Until noon on the second day, Luo Tan refused to go out under the pretext of being uncomfortable. Luo Xueyan finally realized that something was wrong and went to find someone else. At that time, Luo Tan's maid was tremblingly holding a letter and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Well, after walking a thousand miles alone, Luo Tan dashingly left a letter and followed in the footsteps of her little cousin to go to the Great Liang where there is "a dazzling array of clothing and food, and the market is crowded on shoulders".
Luo Xueyan was startled and quickly sent people to chase, but Shen Miao's people had already passed by for a day, and Prince Rui's team was not an ordinary character, they were very fast, and they didn't know when they would catch up, it took a month to catch up. No news, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were still worried about this matter.
"I just hope that when the letter is in Jing Xing's hands, Jing Xing can send some reliable people to bring Tan'er back." Luo Xueyan said.
…
How could Luo Tan know about these things in the Ding capital? Even if you know, it will only be regarded as not heard, because there are more important things than these things right now.
It was evening again, and the chariot team had to rest at this time. Shen Miao naturally had already arranged the houses along the way, Luo Tan would be miserable.
She came here in the middle of the group of warriors in the chariot team in Prince Rui's mansion. She has lived with the Luo family since she was a child, and she doesn't have the arrogance of her daughter's family. No one found her identity. But every night it was when she was in great pain, the warriors of the carriage team were not like a princess like Shen Miao who could live in a room by themselves, but a dozen big men shared a room, a few people sleeping in a bed and a few people fighting each other. On the floor, several people can even put stools and tables together and fall asleep.
Luo Tan wasn't squeamish, she could endure whether the bed was a table or a stool, but the only thing she couldn't bear was sleeping with a dozen or so big, unfamiliar men. The sound of snoring, snoring, talking in her sleep, and all sorts of peculiar smells at night. Every now and then, a man would put his leg on her, which was really more uncomfortable than killing Luo Tan. If Luo Liantai and Mrs. Ma knew about it, they would break her legs.
And what Luo Tan felt most terrifying was... taking a bath.
No matter how rough she is on weekdays, she can't be like these guys without taking a bath for more than ten days, and she can't tolerate jumping down with all the men to take a bath every time she sees a lake. A few times before, she was almost pushed down together, so frightened that Luo Tan almost screamed, but finally she had an idea, saying that she had very ugly scars on her body, and she didn't want to be seen in front of everyone, those warriors Although she felt that she had a lot of things to do, she did not force her any more.
There is a hot spring behind the farmhouse today, and the water in the hot spring looks very clear. In the evening, the warriors had already entered the water, but she did not. At this moment, the moon rose, and no one saw it, Luo Tan went out secretly with her clothes in her arms.
She walked all the way in the dark before she came to the lake, looked left and right, it was late at night, everyone was fast asleep, even if there were people who got up in the middle of the night and went to the thatched hut, they wouldn't come here. Luo Tan was relieved, and she took off her clothes and went into the water wearing a bellyband.
The hot spring water was very warm and comfortable. Luo Tan had not had such a happy bath for a long time. She always took advantage of no one to sneak out at night to burn wood and take a bath, which was very troublesome, but now she felt extremely happy.
While looking at the moon in the sky, I thought: It has been more than a month, and it seems that Luo Xueyan hasn't caught up yet, I'm afraid they really can't catch up. Even if they catch up, it seems impossible to go back again, since this is the case, do you want to clarify with Shen Miao? The little cousin's knife mouth and tofu heart will not really do anything to her. In this way, she could sleep in Shen Miao's room, and she would not have to take a shower with someone behind her back.
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from far and near, Luo Tan was startled, she was afraid that someone was coming. She was a little overwhelmed, but she didn't dare to stay. The footsteps were very close, so she had to pick up the clothes by the stone and put her whole body into the water.
Luo Tan knew how to swim in water, but burying her head in the water was not an easy task. The footsteps stopped at the edge of the hot spring, but did not leave. Luo Tan gradually felt that it was extremely difficult to breathe, and she wanted to raise her head to surface, but right now she was only wearing a bellyband, and even if she emerged, she was afraid that her innocence would be ruined.
No matter how carefree, at this moment, Luo Tan has to take care of her own clarity.
She was as stubborn as the Luo family. When that person stopped by the hot spring and didn't leave, Luo Tan would hide in the water and refuse to get up. It's just that with the passage of time, Luo Tan's eyes have become a bit stunned, and her brain has become a little dazed. She even felt that she was afraid that she would be buried here, and then she felt sad again, thinking that in order to keep her own clarity, she wanted to Sacrifice here, but unfortunately I haven't been to Great Liang...
I heard someone talking vaguely above his head: "The water is good, are you going to suffocate yourself to death?"
Luo Tan's heart moved, and she couldn't hold her breath any longer, and suddenly plunged out of the water. However, she was still sensible, she just floated her head out of the writing, but her body was hidden under the hot spring water. Fortunately, the mist from the hot spring water made it difficult to see her body, otherwise Luo Tan would have died of shame.
"Tsk," the man said, "I thought you would last longer."
Luo Tan glared at that person, but when she saw the other person's appearance, she was stunned and said dumbly, "Gao, Doctor Gao?"
That young man who was squatting on the lake, holding a pink lantern in his hand, looked at her with a smile, who was not Gao Yang? On such a cold day, he was still in the mood to gently shake his folding fan that never left his body, and his lazy attitude made people look sullen.
"Why are you here?" Luo Tan couldn't help asking.
Gao Yang smiled and said nothing.
Luo Tan murmured in her heart, the other party is Ming Qi's imperial physician, but now he appears in such a far place from the Ding capital, could it be because the outpatient clinic has already arrived in such a remote place, she asked, "Doctor Gao, you are dealing with such remote patients. Do you want to accept it too? The imperial court gave you very little money, and you worked so hard." In the words, it turned out to be undisguised sympathy.
Gao Yang choked on Luo Tan's words before saying, "It's not what you think."
Luo Tan looked at him: "Then why are you here?"
Gao Yang stared at her calmly: "Then why are you here?"
"Me?" Luo Tan said confidently, "I am the younger cousin's dowry cousin, and I will accompany her to Great Liang!"
Gao Yang almost laughed, marrying his cousin, thanks to her being able to figure it out. He said: "Oh, I met a person a few days ago. It seems that he came out of the Shen mansion. He took a letter and wanted to give it to Princess Rui, but I didn't know where Princess Rui was, so he asked me for directions."
Luo Tan was startled: "You asked him to see my little cousin?"
Gao Yang shrugged: "No, I saw that he was exhausted and exhausted, so I left him with me until he had enough rest before going."
Luo Tan first breathed a sigh of relief, then became nervous: "Doctor Gao, you must not let this person see Princess Rui."
"why?"
"...He's a bad guy," Luo Tan said, "He wants to frame me! Don't."
Gao Yang smiled: "I framed you? I framed you to sneak into the chariots and horses of Prince Rui's mansion from the Shen residence, and then go to Great Liang?"
Luo Tan: "You..." After a few words "you" in a row, Luo Tan stared at Gao Yang and was speechless.
"What should I do?" Gao Yang was a little distressed. If I send this person to Prince Rui, you will be sent back to Dingjing, maybe tomorrow.
Luo Tan blurted out, "No way!" After finally walking along for so long, she slept with those warriors for a month, but at this time, all her previous achievements were all forfeited, and she refused to accept it! She looked at Gao Yang with determination: "How can you tell me to keep it a secret for me."
Gao Yang said: "That's right, you said this earlier, I don't have to waste time with you here."
Luo Tan: "..."
Why does she feel that Gao Yang has been waiting for her words
"What do you want me to do?" Luo Tan asked.
Gao Yang glanced at her and said, "You come out first."
Only then did Luo Tan remember that she was still talking to Gao Yang while wearing only a bellyband. Although she couldn't see it, she still felt embarrassed. Her cheeks were flushed all of a sudden. Fortunately, it was dark and Gao Yang couldn't notice it.
She said, "My clothes are all wet and I can't go out. You can find some clothes for me." Just now, in order to hide from others, she was afraid of being discovered by others, so she had to dive into the bottom of the water with her clothes in her arms. My clothes are all wet, so I can't go out in soaked clothes.
Gao Yang thought for a moment, then started to undress, Luo Tan was frightened: "What do you want to do?"
Gao Yang took off his clothes and handed it to her slowly: "I just put on your clothes, where did you think of where you went?"
"Turn over!" Luo Tan felt that today's Doctor Gao really hated him. When confronted with him, she was being played around.
Gao Yang turned around and said, "There's nothing worth seeing."
Luo Tan didn't hear those words, she just got out of the water, hid behind the stones, and quickly put on Gao Yang's clothes. Gao Yang's clothes were a bit too big for her, but right now she couldn't care less.
After wearing it, Luo Tan said to Gao Yang, "Now you can turn around."
Only then did Gao Yang turn his head with a smile.
"Speaking of which, what are your conditions?" Luo Tan asked.
"How did you sleep these days?" Gao Yang asked a question.
"Sleep with everyone." Luo Tan replied as a matter of course.
"Sleep in my room from now on."
"Why?" Luo Tan said angrily, "A man and a woman can't give each other a kiss!"
"Are you a woman?" Gao Yang smiled.
"That's right, you're not a man." Luo Tan immediately retorted.
Gao Yang said quietly: "The person who delivered the letter is still in my room..."
"Sleep, sleep, sleep!" Luo Tan hurriedly said, "I'll go to sleep immediately!"
Gao Yang shook his fan and left, Luo Tan followed behind.
Why does she feel that the current Gao Yang seems to be a different person than the bully Doctor Gao before
It's like showing his true nature.
