Chapter 697: Escape
Is Empress Dowager Cao dead?
When Jiang Xian heard such news, he was at a loss for a moment. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's just that the Tartars are heading south.
In her previous life, she could have survived this disaster. Empress Dowager Cao is a hundred times more shrewd and capable than her, although she thought that Empress Dowager Cao might be killed, but that was just the result of rational analysis, and she didn't think so. And now, the Empress Dowager Cao is dead!
And so died!
He was rushed into the dormitory by those Tartars, dragged off the bed and stabbed to death!
"No!" Jiang Xian said softly.
Empress Dowager Cao is a heroine, she should fight the ministers in the main hall, even if she is imprisoned, she should plot to hold Zhao Xi and force Zhao Yi to hang herself, instead of being killed like now, like an old lady from an ordinary official family......
She stared blankly at the crying Minzhou, not knowing where she was and what she should do for a while.
"County Lord! County Lord!" Qigu, who didn't know her grievances with Empress Dowager Cao, shouted to her with tears, thinking that she was sad about the death of her elders, and handed her a plain handkerchief, "You, wipe your tears!"
It turned out that she was in tears.
Is it sympathy? Or are you glad that you met Li Qian in your previous life?
Jiang Xian couldn't say clearly.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked Min Zhou: "Was the Queen Mother killed in the Yiyun Pavilion?"
"Yes!" Seeing Jiang Xian's sadness, Minzhou's heart settled for the most part.
Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Dowager are not in harmony, who in the palace doesn't know?
The county lord will not wait to see the Empress Dowager Cao again, and at this time, the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad, and he will probably not attack him.
Jiang Xian glanced at the seventh aunt.
Qigu had already been instructed by Li Qian that no matter what happened, as long as she went out, she would be with Jiang Xian, and she couldn't lose a single step. Therefore, when Li Changqing's personal soldiers were looking for someone according to Jiang Xian's instructions, she had been standing under the big tree with Jiang Xian. Seeing this, she hurriedly instructed Xiang'er and Shen'er: "You guys go and have a look!"
The two of them responded "yes" in a condensed voice and went to Yiyun Pavilion.
Min Zhou said with tears in his eyes: "County Lord, how many people have you brought here? Let's get out of here quickly, right? I saw someone wandering around here yesterday?"
Jiang Xian's expression sank, and he said, "What's the matter?
"Yes!" Min Zhou responded, his face pained, "We didn't hear any news before. At that time, I only felt that the movement outside was unusual, so I sent someone to see it, but I didn't come back. The Queen Mother since coming to Wanshou Mountain to recuperate, she was particularly cautious, it happened that I was on duty that night, only to see her old man's face pale, and hurriedly told me to hug the emperor's eldest son, first hide in the small Buddha Hall.
When the slave listened, she hurriedly went to the side hall where the eldest son of the emperor was resting, and quietly hugged the eldest son of the emperor and prepared to go to the small Buddha hall. But as soon as the nurse of the eldest son of the emperor pushed the door open the crack, I saw seven or eight dark shadows jumping down from the wall. We...... We thought it was the emperor's person, so we were so frightened that we blew out the lamp and climbed out of the back window. Fortunately, the eldest son of the emperor was a smart child, and the nurse asked him not to make a sound, so he didn't say a word. We thought, let's hide in the woods and see what happens. As a result, as soon as we knelt down in the woods, we saw the palace maid who came to us with a lamp covered her mouth from behind and cut her throat with a knife...... When the lantern fell, the light of the fire shone on his face. Although he was masked, his figure and his exposed eyes looked like a tartar......
"We were all dumbfounded.
"If the emperor sends someone, he will definitely not harm the emperor's eldest son. But if it's a Tartar, who knows what will happen?
"Didn't the previous dynasty take the princes and grandsons captive to work as cattle and horses outside the border?
"We were afraid that we would be taken captive by the Tartars, so we didn't dare to make a noise, and seeing that many of them went to the Yiyun Pavilion, we went to the Shuimu Self-Kissing Wharf under the cover of night. Thinking that those Tartars are good at riding, not necessarily good at water, they came at night, and Jingwei definitely didn't know. As long as we can survive until dawn, Jingwei will definitely find that Wanshou Mountain has changed, and we will be able to be saved at that time.
"But when we finally ran to the dock in the dark, we found that the dock had been occupied by the Tartars.
"We can't retreat if we want to, and we can't advance if we want to. I had to kneel in the grass by the dock of Mizuki and secretly pray for the blessing of the Bodhisattva and the blessing of the emperors of the past dynasties, so that we could escape this catastrophe.
The Bodhisattva seemed to have heard. Just when we were squatting fast and couldn't support it, two people went to the grass to relieve themselves, and they chatted in official dialect while relieving them. One said that these Tartars were only afraid that they would empty Wanshou Mountain, and they would suffer too much, so they should also make a profit. The other scolded him, saying why let the Tartars go in and rob them, the things in Wanshou Mountain are all made inside, if they get their hands on it, it is better to take it and sell it dirty, they are afraid that they will be left as heirlooms, and if they are accidentally discovered, it will be troublesome to track them down, and if it weren't for these treasures of Wanshou Mountain, how could those Tartars be willing to take the risk to help them kill people?"
At this, he burst into tears.
"County Lord, County Lord! They are colluding with inside and outside! They have led Tartars to rob their own people! Even if they have a deep hatred in the sea of blood, they can't do this! This is deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors, and forgetting their ancestors!"
Jiang Xian's heart turned cold.
She asked Min Zhou lightly: "What happened later?"
Jiang Xian's beautiful face was as indifferent as water, but it was like a deep, dark and calm sea, and he felt that once he was angry, the waves would crash on the shore and swallow everything.
Min Zhou suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he muttered after a while: "We waited until the sky turned white, and those people didn't leave." From time to time, people came running over and asked if they had seen anyone else...... We know that they are looking for the eldest son of the emperor. We didn't dare to move. At noon, the eldest son of the emperor was so sunburned that his mouth was peeled. I thought that if I didn't go on like this, I wouldn't be able to survive even if I wasn't found by the Tartars. Then I suddenly remembered that there was a small secret room under the incense case for Guanyin Bodhisattva behind the Le Shou Tang, and I, I supported the nurse of the emperor's eldest son to find something to eat, and took advantage of the chaos to run into the Le Shou Tang with the emperor's eldest son......
"Fortunately, no one took care of the offerings on the Buddha table, but I didn't dare to take more, so I took a little bit of the same and fed it all to the emperor's eldest son, and I only drank two sips of water in the past two days.
"Then I felt that there was no one outside, so I ran out alone to find out the news.
"Who knew that I didn't take a few steps before I found that there were still people searching the garden.
"I hid for a few more days, and when there was no movement in the garden, I went to the Yiyun Pavilion, and met another escaped palace maid in the Yiyun Pavilion, only then did I know that the Queen Mother had been killed, and even the body was taken away by those people. Now Wanshou Mountain is dead, and we can escape, but there is no one to save us.
"We all guessed that something was going on in the capital.
So I instructed the maid to inquire about the situation.
But she didn't come back.
"Later, there were people who came to patrol the mountains. Fortunately, I had a little more heart at the time, and I hid with the emperor's eldest son in the middle of the side hall of Renshou Palace, no matter whether the palace maid escaped or was caught, it was impossible to confess where we we...... It's just that there is a shortage of food and clothing here, and I can stand it, but the eldest son of the emperor may not be able to stand it. I went out to look for something to eat, but when I looked up, I saw the county lord......"
