Chapter 210: Returning Home
Mulan didn't expect that the explosion was related to the assassination of the Holy Lord, and she was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since his accession to the throne, he has been burdened with too many expectations. After more than a year of diligent government and hard work, the situation between the DPRK and China has just stabilized, and if it dies at this time, Dajin is afraid that it will face a lot of turmoil.
The saint's choice to go to the Guogong Mansion to heal his injuries at a time of crisis was originally a manifestation of trust in the Guogong Mansion. If there is nothing to do, there is naturally a reward. If something happens, that trust can be a curse.
The assassination of the Son of Heaven is such a serious matter, and when the time comes, it will be investigated and tried, and none of them will be able to fall well. It was Du Shunwen who said that her going back was tantamount to throwing herself into the net, which was by no means alarmist.
But the more times like this, the more she can't hide alone and ignore Mrs. An.
"Please send me back immediately. She stood up.
Du Shunwen's eyes sank, "You don't want to live anymore?"
"I want to live. Mulan said with a straight face, "It's because I want to live that I want to go back." My grandmother and I have a clear conscience, why do we need to hide and leave people with the handle of 'being a thief' for no reason?
Don't say that the saint is still alive now, that is, he has died, and I will go back. No, I have to go back, I can't leave my grandmother alone. β
"You're so naΓ―ve. Du Shunwen's two long eyebrows were put together, "There are some things that you can't do with a clear conscience, and there is no reason to talk about the superior, he wants to blame you, and he can always find a reason."
The Xie family is the only one left, you are the only seedling, do you think Mrs. An will want you to go back at this juncture? If you go back, in addition to taking an extra risk, what problems can you solve?
How can you be so emotional?"
Mulan couldn't help but smile when she heard this, "Thank you for the compliment, but I think it's better to be a man with some feelings." Besides, I am a person with a fate, and I have already registered in the palace, and I can't hide from it.
When the saint was assassinated, the first person to be suspected was you, Wei, and you are also a mud bodhisattva who crosses the river and cannot protect yourself, how long can you help me? β
Du Shunwen pursed his lips and was speechless for a while. Although he is not a mud bodhisattva and is sure enough to protect her, if he can not give her what she wants, it will be a drag on her.
"You...... Got it in mind?" he asked, after a while.
"Nothing to think about. Mulan smiled, "If it weren't for the weakness of my legs and feet, I wouldn't want to trouble you to send me back." In a hurry, let me collect the interest on the debt of favor from you. β
After a pause, he said, "There is one more thing I want to ask you, I will write a letter to you later, if the saint dies and I am implicated, please send the letter to the Treasure Pavilion and hand it to the shopkeeper Han." If I'm safe and sound, you can burn it for me as if this letter doesn't exist. β
Du Shunwen knew that she was going to explain the future in advance, so she didn't ask too much, nodding, "This matter is not difficult, I will help you do it." β
He got up and took a pen and paper, put it on the table, motioned for her to take care of herself, and then went out.
Mulan sat back in her chair, thought about it for a while, picked up her pen and quickly wrote a letter. He folded out an envelope with white paper, put the letter in it, sealed it with wax oil, wrote the address and name of the recipient, and waited for Du Shunwen to come back and hand it to him.
Du Shunwen glanced at it, and the words "Han Shopkeeper Turns to the Holy Third Prince" were written on the envelope, and his eyelids jumped, and then he thought that this "Holy Third Prince" should refer to Hou Qi, and he was faintly disappointed in his heart.
Put the letter away closely, "The car is ready, you can go back after eating." β
Where is Mulan still in the mood to eat, "No, I want to go back immediately." β
"Whatever you want. Du Shunwen seemed to be unhappy, turned his head and ordered outside the door, "Invite Sister-in-law Guan to come over." β
Someone deserved a voice, and after a while, Sister-in-law Guan opened the curtain and came in. Rolling up his sleeves, his hands were steaming white, presumably busy working in the stove.
"Then send the girl home. Du Shunwen commanded.
Sister-in-law Guan answered "yes", put on a cloak for Mulan, and when she was dressed neatly, she helped her out.
She had an injury on the soles of her feet and was limping when she walked, Du Shunwen was a little blind, so she caught up from behind and picked her up.
Mulan was startled and exclaimed in a low voice.
"It's not like I haven't hugged it. Du Shunwen glanced at her disdainfully, and strode out with her.
Sister-in-law Guan smiled knowingly and quickened her pace to keep up.
Out of the courtyard, there was a clear-roofed carriage parked outside the door, the carriage was small and narrow, it would be able to seat two people, and the green curtains hanging on the doors and windows were old and faded. A thin-faced, honest-looking man standing beside the car with a lantern saw them coming, and hurriedly raised the curtain of the car.
Du Shunwen sent Mulan into the car, staring at her with blazing eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
Mulan made him stare a little uncomfortable, and smiled at him in disguise, "Thank you." β
"Not necessarily. Du Shunwen looked away, and the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, revealing a little unpleasantness.
Mulan couldn't figure out what he was messing with, thinking that this might be the last time they would meet, so she solemnly said goodbye to him, "Goodbye, take care." β
Du Shunwen snorted, turned around and went straight away.
Sister-in-law Guan was afraid that Mulan would be embarrassed, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "Our son-in-law is not good at expressing himself in some aspects, so don't take it to heart girl." β
"Hmm. Mulan nodded, "Let's go." β
Sister-in-law Guan said "Okay", stepped on a stool and got into the carriage, sat down opposite her, and said to the man outside the car: "Xianggong, let's go." β
The man said nothing, but flicked his whip, and the old horse, which had lost all his teeth, pulled the cart and walked forward slowly.
At the time of the curfew, the city was still brightly lit. The commotion on the other side of the Mandarin Duck Bridge does not seem to have subsided, and if you listen closely, you can still hear the noise full of madness and despair. Along the way, rude door breaking and shouting can also be heard, and the air is filled with tension and panic.
The man called "Xianggong" by Guan's sister-in-law seemed to be very familiar with the capital, and he walked through the streets and alleys, but he didn't even meet a group of officers and soldiers who were checking, but after two quarters of an hour, he arrived at the Guogong Mansion.
The street in front of the Guogong Mansion was full of heavily armed Janissaries, and before the carriage approached, a group of Praetorian Guards surrounded them menacingly, and shouted loudly: "Who is it?!"
The man who was driving the carriage seemed frightened, and one of them slid out of the carriage with a shudder, and fell to his knees.
Sister-in-law Guan hurriedly lifted the curtain and said in a trembling voice: "The girl from the Xie family is sitting in the car, and we are sending her home......"
