Chapter 69: Back to the Palace
In the Baolun Temple, the daily morning bell and dusk drum make people live extremely comfortable.
Su Ziyou did not stay in the temple for too long, and there were many affairs between the court and China, so he immediately returned to the palace on the third day.
Su Wanxi eats fasting and worshipping Buddha every day, and she has never felt so quiet in her life, and the affairs of the court have come to an end for her for the time being, and it can be regarded as stealing half a day of leisure here.
In the meditation room, Su Wanxi sat on the futon with Buddhist beads in her hands, her eyes closed lightly, and she was reciting Buddhist scriptures in her mouth.
"Niangniang, King Duan is here. Outside the door, Qiulai's voice came.
Duan Wang? Su Wanxi immediately reacted when she heard this unfamiliar title that it was Shen Jingyuan, because of the queen's involvement, Shen Wen abolished his position as the crown prince, but still kept him in the East Palace and made him a Duan King. In fact, Shen Wen's intention is obvious, but it is just a small punishment and a big admonition to warn Shen Jingyuan, in Shen Wen's heart, Shen Jingyuan has always been the best candidate for the crown prince.
"Let him in. Su Wanxi closed her eyes and said lightly. The queen is such a shrewd person, and she always knows that she is controlling things with a little reasoning, and now Shen Jingyuan is coming to ask the teacher for guilt.
The door was gently pushed open, and Su Wanxi felt a shadow covering her.
Shen Jingyuan walked to Su Wanxi's side, knelt on the futon, and kowtowed three times to the enshrined Bodhisattva.
"I don't understand what you want. Shen Jingyuan kowtowed, and asked Su Wanxi coldly, with anger hidden in his tone. He admitted that he was moved by Su Wanxi, but so what, until now he found out little by little, he couldn't guess at all, and he couldn't understand this woman.
Su Wanxi held the Buddha beads, slowly opened her eyes, and cast a quiet gaze towards Shen Jingyuan, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked: "What about King Duan's opinion?"
Shen Jingyuan's face was gloomy: "I can't understand you." ”
Su Wanxi couldn't help but chuckle, with a bewitching and cold smile: "What I want, how can I tell you?"
Shen Jingyuan was slightly stunned, and his eyes were ugly: "In your heart, what am I?"
Su Wanxi's smile became colder and colder, and she said lightly: "It's nothing." ”
Shen Jingyuan laughed self-deprecatingly when he heard this: "Okay, it's good......" He got up slowly, "Su Wanxi, from now on, you and I should never have known each other." ”
"Shen Jingyuan, don't you think we knew each other before?"
Su Wanxi's words were like blades, and a knife slashed at Shen Jingyuan's heart.
Shen Jingyuan took a deep breath and looked at Su Wanxi with the eyes of a stranger: "Are you really the person I know?"
Su Wanxi closed her eyes, continued to worship the Buddha, and said lightly: "You go." Now that the queen has been overthrown, and Shen Jingyuan's heart has been reached, she no longer needs any preparation, and then, when she returns to the palace, there will be a bloody storm.
"Heh......" Shen Jingyuan sneered, turned to leave, and left only one sentence, "If you dare to hurt the people around me again, I will never let you go." ”
Su Wanxi was silent and let him leave on his own.
Hurt the people around him? He came here just for the queen's business, who let the queen be his biological mother, and the queen's dog jumped off the wall in a hurry and also affected him. But he also understands that now there is no one in the court except him to sit on the throne of the crown prince. In addition to Shen Jingyuan, the age of the fifth prince is more in line with it, but the fifth prince Shen Zixuan has always been idle and wild, and he has no talent for governing the country at all, and even traveled around the world since he was a child, and it takes some effort to find him. And the rest of the princes, Shen Wen, who was not weak, couldn't wait for that time.
Su Wanxi secretly laughed, Shen Jingyuan would never have dreamed that his purpose was the throne he wanted, ......right? Thousands of calculations, but they didn't count the hearts of the most poisonous women in the world.
For a few days, Su Wanxi has been attending the scriptures and worshipping the Buddha in the room every day, without leaving the house, and the monks in the temple have not seen anyone except for the moment when Su Wanxi first came.
The afterglow covered the long official road, and a smoky blue carriage drove quickly.
On the long road, there was only one groom and Su Ziyou and Su Wanxi in the sedan chair. Su Wanxi opened the sedan curtain, watched the scenery outside the window retreat rapidly, and couldn't help but think of that time, when she went out of the palace with Shen Jingyuan, it was the same, the three of them were walking on the lonely road. In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed......
Su Wanxi asked Qing'er to worship the Buddha in the room instead of herself, and Qiulai stayed outside the door to deal with all the troubles, and Su Ziyou also sent people in the temple, if there was something to do, he would quickly inform him.
This is already the fastest speed of the carriage, and it is a long way to Heyang, so you must go early and return early. Su Wanxi understands Shen Wen's temperament, and within a month, he will definitely send someone to invite him back to the palace, but there is a story of Liu Bei visiting the thatched house in ancient times, and now Su Wanxi also has to play some tricks, Shen Wen will not agree to send someone for the first time, at that time, it is estimated that he is still in Heyang, and when he sends someone next time, he will go back at that time, the more difficult it is to get something, the more men want to cherish it.
"I'm afraid it will take a month to go back and forth, right? It's been so long, is it okay for you to go over there?" Su Wanxi put down the sedan curtain and asked Su Ziyou.
"Isn't it normal to be sick and stay in bed for a month? Besides, now that the position of the crown prince is vacant, Shen Wen doesn't care about the government, although he has barely reviewed and approved the folds recently, he has been very slack, and now the court is only supported by Prime Minister Bai and Shen Jingyuan's cronies. Su Ziyou said.
Su Wanxi nodded slightly, it was appropriate to use her trick to retreat as advance. Now that there is no one to deal with the government, if he does not take a step back, but directly from Shen Wen. Shen Jingyuan has taken over the government to deal with it, and I am afraid that he will get a saying that the harem will interfere in politics and bring disaster to the country and the people.
But when he goes back after a month or two, it is different, Shen Wen will beg him to go back to help, which is indispensable to Concubine Chen's credit, fanning the flames in Shen Wen's ears is secondary, and the most important thing is that the medicine given to Shen Wen must be continued, otherwise, it will ...... How could I send him on his way smoothly?
"Your goal is gradually achieved, are you happy?" Su Ziyou stared at Su Wanxi.
Su Wanxi chuckled lightly and said, "Happy, why aren't you happy?" You don't know, Shen Jingyuan came to me a few days ago, and I looked at his unbelievable appearance, which was very happy. "Yes, looking at Shen Jingyuan's helpless, aggrieved, angry and speechless appearance, she was really happy in her heart! But this was far from enough, she had to make Bai Qingcheng and Zhao Luchu pay the due price.
"Why do you hate Shen Jingyuan?" Su Ziyou was puzzled, he could see the hatred in Su Wanxi's eyes when she mentioned Shen Jingyuan, but in her eyes, there was not only hatred, as if, as if there was also a layer of emotion......
"Hate is hate, why do you need a reason?" Su Wanxi said lightly.
Su Ziyou took a deep breath: "If you are really determined to go down this road, I will accompany you." ”
Su Wanxi was slightly stunned, and looked at Su Ziyou in disbelief, it was rare that he didn't oppose himself, but agreed?
But. Su Ziyou looked at her solemnly and said word by word, "You and forget your worries, you must be safe." Su Ziyou gradually understood that what he wanted was very simple, as long as he and the people he cared about could get a lifetime of peace, Su Wanxi insisted on taking this road, if something happened in it, then even if she was broken, she would be able to live well with her worries.
Su Wanxi turned her head, not wanting to see Su Ziyou's affectionate eyes, and said lightly: "Now that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and there will be no changes." ”
"Well, I hope so. Su Zi responded, but he was always relieved.
The driver worked day and night and finally arrived in Heyang a week later.
The carriage stopped at a deep mountain, and the driver left on his own, coming back three days later to meet him. Su Wanxi followed Su Ziyou into the mountains.
There was a stream in the mountain, and Su Ziyou took Su Wanxi along the stream towards the depths of the mountain. From early morning to late twilight, the stream seems to have no end.
"Do you really know the way?" Su Wanxi asked Su Ziyou with distrust.
Su Ziyou twisted his eyebrows and said, "I came once ten years ago. ”
"What?!" Su Wanxi suddenly stopped where she was, and sat on the ground in prostration, "Ten years! Ten years is enough to grow countless trees, we have walked for a whole day, and I can't walk...... I don't care about myself, why are you so obsessed?"
"Get up and keep walking. Every time Su Wanxi couldn't walk, Su Ziyou always gave orders with the general's password, but this time, Su Wanxi really couldn't walk, she had been pampered since she was a child, and she had been walking for a whole day, although she stopped on the way, she still couldn't hold on. Su Ziyou has always grown up in the barracks, and this bit of hiking is not half a challenge for him.
"No...... Let's go back. Su Wanxi shook her hand, she really didn't like to get up.
"Isn't it tomorrow morning to go back now? When night comes, there are wolves, tigers, and leopards in this mountain. ”
"Then let the wolves, tigers and leopards eat me. Su Wanxi said that she didn't want to leave anymore.
Su Ziyou shook his head and stepped forward and grabbed Su Wanxi's hand.
"Ah!" Su Wanxi was already on Su Zi's right back when she reacted.
"Don't be noisy, it's almost there. "Suzi's right step is steady.
Su Wanxi was silent and leaned on Su Zi's right back with peace of mind, this man, unconsciously, seemed to have really taken her brother's place. When it comes to relatives, she really counts one person, and that is Su Ziyou...... Even if he had deviated from the scene after drinking, but, at least in her heart, he had always been a brother-like existence.
The last ray of sunset was engulfed by the night, and Su Zi carried Su Wanxi to the entrance of Peach Blossom Valley on his back.
said that it was Peach Blossom Valley, and it was not in vain at all. The huge valley is full of peach blossoms, but the people who know that there is a peach blossom valley hidden in the depths of the mountain, and now there are only Su Ziyou and the people in the valley in the world.
