Chapter 416: A Familiar Scent
The light in the room is not very bright, but because it is placed in front of the bed, it can illuminate Cheng Ruoxue's whole person clearly.
Cheng Ruoxue was still asleep, her sideburns were a little messy, her face was very pale, her hands were on the outside of the quilt, hanging quietly on both sides of her body.
The bed is very large, Cheng Ruoxue is lying there and looks very small, and in the illness, there is an indescribable pity.
Shangguan Che stepped forward lightly, leaned over to look at her, and saw that she was really asleep, so he moved a stool and sat down in front of the bed, and pulled another stool for Jiang Yuetang to sit on.
The two looked at Cheng Ruoxue silently, and no one knew what to say for a while.
Cheng Ruoxue, who was asleep, was dreaming, and it was a very struggling dream, so she muttered: "You can hurt me, but you can't hurt my child." β
Shangguan Che hurriedly reached out to hold her hand, and she woke up suddenly.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Shangguan Che, who was looking at her nervously, and a faint flush appeared on her face, and she said, "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said you had something wrong with your stomach, but it's fine. Shangguan Che said softly.
"Does it have any effect on the child?" asked Cheng Ruoxue looking up at him.
There was deep love and respect in her eyes, and he couldn't help but feel distracted, and hurriedly patted the back of her hand and said, "No." β
Only then did she put her mind at ease, reached out and took his hand tightly, and then pulled it into her heart.
Because Jiang Yuetang was there, Shangguan Che hurriedly withdrew his hand and said, "Young Master Jiang and Mrs. Zhen are also here." β
Cheng Ruoxue found Jiang Yuetang, who was sitting not far away, and suddenly blushed, and wanted to struggle to get up, but was lightly pressed by Shangguan Che, and said softly: "You are sick, let's lie down." β
"Yes, you can just lie down. Jiang Yuetang also hurriedly stopped and stood up.
Because of her scruples, she didn't dare to step forward, so she stood in place and smiled at Cheng Ruoxue, her eyes full of concern.
Cheng Ruoxue thought that she was a 'little boy', and she was the son of the first assistant of the cabinet, a famous promising young man in Zhaoguo, and a proud protΓ©gΓ© of Shangguan Che, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, so although she was lying down, she still looked cautious.
Jiang Yuetang took the initiative to ask her how she felt, and she said: "I feel much better now, thank you for your concern." β
Cheng Ruoxue looked at Shangguan Che again, and then said to Jiang Yuetang: "Thank you and your mother for coming to visit me, it's late at night, you should go back quickly." β
Jiang Yuetang nodded with a smile and said, "Then let's go back first, please take care of your wife." β
She bowed to Cheng Ruoxue again before turning to leave, and Shangguan Che immediately got up to send it off.
As soon as the two walked to the door, they saw Rong and Zhen Huiyuan coming, and hurriedly welcomed them in.
After Zhen Huiyuan saw Cheng Ruoxue, she had another greeting and instructions, and chatted for about a quarter of an hour before leaving.
Cheng Ruoxue hurriedly asked her subordinates to load some hot snacks for them to eat on the road.
Zhen Huiyuan and Jiang Yuetang also knew that this was her heart, so they did not refuse.
Jiang Yuetang walked in front with a pack of steaming snacks, and Zhen Huiyuan and Rong walked behind.
Shangguan Che caught up with another big bag of fried corn, handed it to Jiang Yuetang and said, "You like to eat this, take it." β
Jiang Yuetang hurriedly thanked him.
After getting into the carriage, Jiang Yuetang probed out of the carriage and said to Shangguan Che: "Teacher, take good care of my wife, and come to teach me a lesson when my wife is well, don't worry." β
Shangguan Che smiled and nodded.
...................
As the sun set, Xiao Diyuan, the second prince of Shuguo, walked slowly along the path of the courtyard with his hands in his hands, and the sunset stained his robe red, reflecting on his jade-like face, which looked particularly warm and kind.
The flowers in the yard are blooming, colorful, and fragrant, he has been busy all day, and at this moment he finally relaxes when he looks at these flowers, and he can't help but walk towards the flowers.
Ding Cong walked briskly from the other side of the corridor with Buddha dust in his hand, and immediately stepped forward when he saw him, and said in a low voice: "Second Highness, I still haven't found any trace of those two. β
Xiao Diyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Send someone to check the registration of personnel entering and leaving various city customs offices since mid-April, especially pay attention to the entry and exit registration of non-national personnel. β
Ding Cong hurriedly asked, "How can His Royal Highness be sure that they are not natives?"
"If you're a native, why do you have to ask for an address like this? Xiao Diyuan replied.
Ding Cong hurriedly said: "Also, Second Highness is wise!"
Immediately do as you are told.
Two days later, Ding Cong reported back: "Second Highness, at the end of April, three merchants from the Zhao Kingdom came in through the West City Gate. β
After that, he presented the information of the three people.
Xiao Diyuan looked at it and saw that there were three names written on it: "Zhou Zhichao, Zhang Yiyi, and Wushu", as well as the names of the goods they transported.
"Is there a record of checking their exit?" Xiao Diyuan asked.
"Back to His Royal Highness, Zhang Yiyi left with an empty carriage from the West City Gate on the morning of May 1, and registered that he had gone back to Zhaoguo to transport goods. Ding Cong hurriedly replied.
Xiao Diyuan's eyes suddenly froze, and he asked, "Do the other two have any records of leaving the customs?"
"Nope. β
Xiao Diyuan immediately said: "Quickly send someone disguised as a buyer to the small commodity trading market in Dongcheng District to see which trading house is selling this batch of goods, and after finding it, leave three people to monitor around there day and night, and once you find that someone is driving a carriage to supply, you will quickly report to me." β
Ding Cong hurriedly said "yes" and immediately arranged for someone to go.
But it was said that Zhou Rong and Wu Yichang hibernated in the old house for three days and then went to the city center separately, and they were ordered to come to Shuguo this time to find out the real second prince of Shuguo, because only by finding out this person can we prove that the second prince of Shuguo that everyone sees now is fake, which is also the key to proving Xiao Diyuan's true identity, so they can't wait to act as soon as the limelight is over.
They didn't know that Xiao Hong had sent more than 100 people dressed as peasants to search for them in the streets and suburbs of the capital every day, but for the sake of safety, they changed their appearance before going out.
At this time, the weather in the capital of Shuguo was already very hot, and Zhou Rongcai was covered in sweat after walking not far on the road, and he was busy washing his face in a small river on the side of the road.
At this moment, a carriage passed by the path behind him, and a particularly pleasant smell came from the carriage.
This fragrance is a little familiar, Zhou Rong immediately turned around to look.
Because the carriage was running forward, the curtain was slightly lifted by the wind, and Zhou Rong smelled the real fragrance more and more. Suddenly, he was refreshed and remembered.
A few years ago, when Zhou Rong was on an errand in the palace of the Shu Kingdom, he passed by the side of the palace maid Gong Ling, the queen of the Shu Kingdom, and smelled this fragrance.
So, could it be that she was the one sitting in the carriage?
If it was her, where was she in such a hurry?
