After leaving Qingmi Garden, Manyao asked someone to prepare a carriage. Although she was under house arrest, she made a high-profile appearance when she went out, and she made no secret of her whereabouts. No one stopped her all the way out of the mansion.
The capital city is still prosperous and prosperous, and it seems that it has not changed much from before. For the people, who is the emperor is not important, what is important is to bring them a stable life ~
The Ninth Prince's Mansion is located in Dongcheng, which is closer to the Prince's Mansion. From Beicheng to Dongcheng, you need to pass through an unnamed alley. This alley is busy and busy, and the ground is not wide. When there are too many people, it will be a bit crowded.
Man Yao's carriage reached the middle of Wuming Lane and couldn't move, because there were stalls selling goods on both sides of the road, and crowds of people crowded around the stalls, blocking the road. Xiang Ying rushed forward, but she couldn't get rid of it no matter what, one wave receded and another wave came up again, like a sea tide, as if those ordinary stalls were so rare.
Man Yao frowned, and was about to say to take a detour. At this time, a sentence came from the nearby tea stand: "If you want me to tell you, this woman should be ugly. If she is too beautiful, she will be a disaster! Look, Rong Le from Qiyun Kingdom Isn't the eldest princess beautiful enough? She is so beautiful, which led to this coup d'état."
A person next to him asked, "How do you say that?"
The man said: "Think about it, who is King Li? If he really wanted the throne, he would have put down the crown prince, but he didn't. What does that mean? It means that King Li's rebellion was not for the throne , but a woman, I heard that the election of the concubine by Wang Li was simply a cover, in order to see Princess Rongle. Besides, this time, Wang Li won, but he gave up the easy-to-reach country for the sake of a woman. He came here for women! Besides, the general, which man can bear his woman having an affair with another man? So he got angry, and there was a scene of the red curtain outside the Xuande Palace. Besides, Qiyun Emperor heard that his beloved sister was being bullied like this, what can he do? Of course not! In my opinion, the world is going to be very peaceful!"
"It's quite reasonable to hear what you said. But if this battle really breaks out, it won't be us ordinary people who will suffer? Alas, it's trouble for women!"
"How can such a woman be worthy of being a mother in the world? I really don't understand. Since the general gave her up, why did he insist on making her a queen?"
Man Yao curled his lips coldly and smiled mockingly. Since she came here, from the ugly girl who was abandoned before entering the door, to the shameless red apricot who cheated on her, and now to the troublesome woman, she seems to have always been the topic of conversation on the streets and alleys. Since ancient times, men have always liked to blame all their faults on women. How much of a role can the so-called beauty play in the real struggle for imperial power? Without her, Fu Tiao would have revenge and seized power. Without her, Zongzheng Wuyou would have deployed a counterattack. Without her, Qiyun Kingdom would have other reasons to start a war. And she is just a victim in this power struggle, and the only one who really cares about her is that one person.
Man Yao gently lifted the curtain of the window, looked at the people who were talking about her at the tea stand, and saw that although those people looked ordinary and dressed up like ordinary people, they had an unconcealable evil spirit in the corners of their eyes and brows. He looks like an ordinary rivers and lakes person, let alone a commoner. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and before she could think about it, a woman in front suddenly broke through the crowd blocking the road and rushed towards the carriage like crazy. The lady's clothes were shabby and her hair was messy, covering her Most of her face looked like that of a down-and-out crazy woman, holding a package in her hand as if holding a child. While running, she yelled in panic: "Help! Don't kill my child, my son is innocent ─ ─ someone save my child...",
Behind the crazy woman was a woman in forty years old dressed as a peasant woman, who called her anxiously: "Ma'am, Ma'am-,-don't run anymore, stop now!"
The crazy woman was not willing to listen, she just ran desperately, she ran to the carriage, suddenly tripped over something, her body was unstable, and the whole person ran towards the carriage, she yelled "ah", and hit her head There was a bang on the shaft of the carriage, and the carriage shook. Man Yao frowned, and the woman behind hurriedly chased after her, and shouted nervously: "Ma'am, how are you? Are you okay?"
The crazy woman's forehead was smashed, blood was flowing, she was about to faint, and she muttered: "Don't kill my son! Please...,-help... my child..."
The mad woman finally couldn't bear it anymore and passed out, but she still hugged the bundle tightly in her hand, as if it was really her child, and she refused to let go even to the death.
Another middle-aged man was chasing after him from the crowd. Seeing this scene, he frowned, and the middle-aged woman said: "You came just in time, take her back quickly, and ask a doctor to come and have a look, this time the collision was serious, don't do anything wrong." Things are going well."
The middle-aged man said impatiently: "A lunatic, why are you so nervous? The family is so poor that they can't get rid of it. Why do you need a doctor? Raising her for more than ten years has been utterly benevolent."
The middle-aged woman said: "What are you talking about? When my cousin handed her over to us before she died, didn't you say that as long as you take good care of her, you will have a good day one day."
"I've been waiting for more than ten years, and I haven't seen a good day to come to us. Only you, a stupid woman, will believe this kind of words! Anyway, I don't care about her, and I have to figure out your own way. If you dare to Let her in, and I'll throw her into a ruined temple outside the city." The man snorted, turned around and left. The woman looked at the mad woman helplessly and sighed. "What should I do?" She looked up and saw Man Yao who had raised the curtain, she was taken aback for a moment, and said: "This fairy, nobleman, can you do me a favor and save this madam? She is quite pitiful, she was abandoned by her husband and lost her child when she was young, and then she was ruined——ah! I don’t know who she is?”
Man Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at the mad woman who was being lifted up by a middle-aged woman, only to see that there was a large scar on one side of the face after the hair was wiped away, which seemed to be a burn mark, while the other half of the face was covered with skin. Ru Baixue is astonishingly beautiful, and although she is dressed in coarse cloth, she can't hide the nobility exuding from her bones. Man Yao rolled his eyes and winked at Xiao Sha, Xiao Sha took out an ingot of gold and handed it to the middle-aged woman.
The woman hurriedly continued and said with a smile: "Thank you nobleman, you are such a good person! I kowtow to you on behalf of this lady!" As she said that, she was about to kneel down, but Man Yao coldly waved her hands and said, "No, I'm just in a hurry, I don't want anyone to block my way. Xiao Sha, take a detour!" She ordered with a blank face, and lowered the curtain. nice guy? Such a title has never been rare for her.
When she arrived at the Ninth Prince's Mansion, the guards at the gate blocked her way. "The general has orders. The Ninth Prince is a traitor. Without the general's orders, no one is allowed to see him."
Xiang Ying stepped forward and said: "You see clearly, this is the great general! Do you dare to stop the future queen?"
The guard was slightly taken aback, and Man Yao said coldly: "If you don't want to die, get out of the way, my wife has already ordered to kill, I don't care about killing a few more!" Her eyes are like sharp knives, and her momentum is clear.
The other guards guarding the door only felt a gust of cold wind blowing, their bodies trembled, and they moved out of the way unconsciously. That is none other than the general's wife!
In the water garden in the mansion, the Ninth Prince lay with his hands behind his head, leaning against the pavilion in the garden, swaying his legs boredly, staring at the sky and rolling his eyes.
A servant hurried over and reported: "Your Highness, someone has come to see you!"
The Ninth Prince suddenly sat up and asked, "Who is it?"
"Princess Rong Le, the general's wife."
The Ninth Prince's eyes lit up first, then he seemed to think of something, his eyes widened, his eyes were angry and resentful, and he said angrily: "What is she doing here? I don't want to see her, tell her to go!"
"For example," the slave dare not! "
The Ninth Prince stared and reprimanded: "You dog slave who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" After saying that, he lay down again.
Manyao walked to the center of the garden, and waved the servant to retreat. Across the Qushui stone bridge, she glanced at the guard posts that were densely covered with alternating light and dark, and shouted: "Old Jiu.!"
The Ninth Prince didn't look at her, turned his face away, and snorted to express his disdain.
Manyao remembered what he said once, it turned out it was not a joke, he would really hate her because of Zongzheng Wuyou. She lowered her eyes slightly, without any emotional ups and downs in her eyes, and said lightly: "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince's life is so leisurely! It's really enviable."
The Ninth Prince said angrily: "Isn't this your credit? Our future empress, why is she in the mood to see me, a traitor and rebel who is about to meet the King of Hades? My seventh brother is so stupid, to even think about it for a woman like you. I don't want my life!"
Seeing the sarcasm in his words, Man Yao frowned and turned around and said: "It seems that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince doesn't welcome me, I'm just asking for trouble. Farewell!"
When the Ninth Prince heard that she was going to leave, he jumped up. He was angry for several days and had no place to vent. He finally found an exit, and she was going to leave after only a few words. He couldn't help being so angry. Unscrupulous, he shouted loudly: "You just go, even if I die, you don't have to come to see me again. I thought you were different from other women, so you are also greedy for vanity! Seventh brother doesn't care about anything for you , Now I don’t know where I was locked up by Bo Chou, and I don’t know whether it’s dead or alive, bah bah bah... I’m a crow mouth!" He slapped himself angrily, and said: "You don’t want to save him, You actually agreed to be Fu Tzu's queen, are you still human? You watery..., watery woman, he didn't say these words in the end, because he saw a cold and lonely woman standing far away in the garden. The breathless woman, his eyes widened, and he was stunned.
The water garden is picturesque, with bright sunshine. Beside the rockery made of harsh-shaped strange rocks, the stream is like green. She is isolated on the single-plank bridge with her back. The long red gauze dress falls on the water surface, and the water is sparkling. Reflecting white cold light, the red clothes are like blood, and the white hair is dazzling and shocking.
Man Yao's cold voice seemed to pierce the temperature of the sun, and the cool chill radiated in the beautiful water eyes. She said: "You can scold if you want! Whether it's a confidante or a flamboyant woman, as long as it's not what he said, I... don't care about others."
The Ninth Prince was still in a daze, but she had already left.
General Wei's Mansion, Study Room.
"That's all? Didn't you say anything else?!" After listening to his subordinate's report, Xi Zhao put down the notebook in his hand, got up and left the table, and took a few steps. She went out in such a high-profile way just to get some scolding? This is not like Rong Le's character! He stopped, turned around and asked, "Did they meet anyone on the way? Did something special happen?"
The guard thought for a while, and said: "A lunatic appeared in the middle, and there was a man and a woman. Madam rewarded them with golden hands."
Fu Tiao paused for a moment, his eyes fixed, and said: "Quickly find out who these three people are? Also, the Ninth Prince's Mansion, I will keep an eye on this general, and if anyone else approaches, they will all be killed! He communicated with the outside world."
The guard replied: "Yes."
Bochou said again: "How's the matter with Yuxi going?"
The guard said: "I have searched everywhere I could, but there is nothing."
Bo Chou frowned, turned his hands away, thought for a while, turned around and said, "Keep looking. The capital is such a big place, and Qiuhun used the jade seal a few days ago, I don't believe it, this thing can grow wings and fly No?"
After the guards retreated, Bo Chou walked to the window and saw that the sun was shining outside, but he couldn't feel the slightest warmth.
At night, the palace.
In the dilapidated Senyan Palace, the last light in the dark hall was also extinguished, and the hall was completely dark. Suddenly, a sharp instrument knocked open a gap in the window sealed with wooden boards, making a very light, very soft sound. The ears of the man who was chained in the hall moved slightly, but his eyes were still closed and his face remained motionless. In just a moment, the entire board of the window was pried off, the window was opened, and a figure flashed in.
"My subordinates see the prince!" The visitor lowered his voice and bowed to the ground.
The cold moon shone through the window paper, and there was a glimmer of cold light in the hall. Zongzheng Wuyou slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were extremely clear, cold and frightening, not worse than usual. He also lowered his voice and said, "Is everything settled?"
The person who came responded: "Yes. All the property and weapons have been secretly transported to the south of the Yangtze River, and the people in the building have gathered, just waiting for the prince to leave the palace."
Zongzheng Wuyou nodded with a soft "En" and asked, "How is she?"
The visitor said: "Don't worry, my lord, the princess is fine! Today, the princess secretly sent someone to send a message, saying that three days later in the night, she will join us with the badge of the Great General of the State of Wei. The subordinates and the princess are set in the western suburbs." We meet in the cave under the cliff of the hunting ground, and from there there is a small road leading directly to the Jiangnan official road, as long as we avoid the defense of the capital and have a token, the road will be smooth, and within half a month, we can reach the land of Jiangnan."
Zongzheng Wuyou frowned, "Is it so easy to get Fu Tiao's token? Without a token, this king can still take her away safely."
The man said: "If there is no token, it will take at least a month to take a detour on the mountain road, and you will be chased on the road, which is not good for the prince's injury." "This is what the princess meant. "
Zongzheng Wuyou frowned, and sighed: "Go ahead, arrange someone to take care of it, so that nothing happens." Of course, he understood Aman's temperament, she insisted on it, and no one could change it.
"Subordinates obey!"
The window panels in the hall were sealed again, and the hall was pitch black again. Zongzheng Wuyou glanced at the round hole on the side wall, his incomparably handsome face moved slightly, and he couldn't tell what kind of feeling he was feeling.
Seeing the speculation about the male lead in the comment section, let me say something here. There are two male protagonists in this article. Based on the reason of this story, Wuyou and Fu Zhao are the parallel male protagonists. They both have a lot of roles and each has its own highlights. Of course, in the end, there will only be one who embraces the beauty . Although the gray hair has passed, the wonderful story of this story is yet to come. At different stages, according to the progress of the storyline, the proportion of individual roles will vary. In the first volume, Wuyou has the most scenes, and Fu Tiao has very few scenes. In the second volume, according to the plot, Fu Tiao's scenes have increased a lot, and will soon enter the third volume, Phoenix Nirvana and the Soul of a Woman. In this volume, Manyao and Wuyou are together, so there will naturally be more scenes for Wuyou.
