Chapter 53: Who Survives Now

The carriage stopped at a quiet inn in Okseong, a large city not far from Gyeonggi, but the outer part of the city was still sparsely populated.

Su Huihui got out of the car with his help on the wall of the car, thanks to sleeping on the soft couch all day, his feet could only stand firmly on the ground, but he was still dizzy for a while.

A river drum guard with no sword at his waist bowed out of the inn, and the guards stood in two neat rows, welcoming the two men into the threshold.

Su Hui warmed her eyes and saw a black-clothed guard next to the gate show her a familiar smile, she didn't know this person, this person looked like she had seen her before...... Since she became a court judge, she has never been the attending doctor for the people of the River Drum Guard.

However, she is definitely familiar with the battle of these two rows, when Zou Yuan and a group of doctors who were caught in the car were escorted to the nursing shed, there were these two rows of cold guards after Lord Zhizhou was unconscious, so that she was in a bad mood now, as if she was Wang Huai who was the man for the knife and I for the fish.

Among so many people, Ji Wei is the only one who can't see him, so he should be doing something shady again.

There was a steady force from her waist, Sheng Yunyi didn't say anything, and walked straight to the inn with her. She turned around, her brown eyes as watery, and said in a low voice:

"I don't know what Majesty means, I won't remember what happened just now, I hope Majesty XiΓ  will open up and be more respectful. ”

After speaking, he resolutely pushed his hand away, but his heart had not yet been pulled back from the panic. She followed the guard who led the way upstairs, leaving Sheng Yunyi behind, because she was so busy and walking too fast, she almost fell on the stairs.

She bit her lip and almost fled.

Sheng Yunyi laughed silently in the back, he remembered that half a year ago he looked at her at the door of the shack through the miscellaneous sickness, and he really wanted to see her at a loss. Later, she found out that Zhizhou's suspicions were taken directly to the mansion by the river drum guard to house arrest, and at that time her face could not be worse, but she still pretended to be extremely calm, and she should also be at a loss-just like the embarrassing description he described when he first saw her in the restaurant.

He's getting used to it, but she doesn't know it yet.

The guards asked the smiling man in white to go upstairs to rest. He gave a few instructions, and ordered the shopkeeper to send hot water to the room, found pen and ink and wrote a short message, sealed it with fire paint and sent it away immediately.

The innkeeper's elaborate meal was served, and the sun bypassed the corridor and disappeared into the flower pot at the window, just at noon.

There was a sudden knock on the door, Ji Wei came back a little late, and when he saw that the food on the table had only moved a little, he persuaded:

"Your Majesty is still thinking about Yan Gongzi's affairs? Chen just met Eleven who delivered the letter on the road. His Majesty and relaxed, Gongzi went south this time, more for the survival of the Yan family, and His Majesty's instructions were secondary, and he would not let Gongzi complain. ”

Sheng Yunyi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Commander Ji has been talking so much recently, could it be that he and Fu both know how to learn?"

Ji Wei didn't dare to say anything, and said with a smile: "When the time comes, Master Su will also accompany him, and the child's grasp will be greater, and Your Majesty will not have to worry about the results." Childe has a deep friendship with His Majesty since he was a child, how could it be because of ......"

Sheng Yunyi hung the pen on the shelf, and the line of grass written casually fluttered slightly in the wind that penetrated the room, black and white, and it was conspicuous.

His gaze was like a blade, "When will it be your turn to put your beak in my affairs?" ”

Ji Wei immediately stood solemnly and reported: "Yuan Chengfu is as usual, when he learned that the governor was coming, he didn't make a big move, and Weichen speculated...... It seems that His Majesty has given him some power in recent years, and his people have walked sideways in his hometown in Wucheng. By the way, his third son is indeed recuperating at home, but he ...... Yang Qi is damaged," he coughed embarrassedly, "Anyway, his house is full of smoke and miasma, and he really can't stand it and go there in person." ”

Sheng Yunyi said lightly: "It's okay, there are still few places in this world where the miasma is gone, tomorrow ...... The day after tomorrow, he said that he would postpone it for a day, and the governor would bring the imperial doctor to see the third son. ”

Ji Wei snickered and said with a straight face: "Yes!"

He turned to go out, and unexpectedly dropped a pen from the back of his head, and it was smashing on the back of his head, and the commander of the river drum guard touched the head that had been beaten, and ran down to spread the gossip.

Although Su Huihui was sick and had a taste disorder, his stomach was still hungry and empty, and he caught a meal and ate it, but the more he ate, the more he chewed wood. There was a sound of the door closing next door, and the guards walked down the wooden ladder with their footsteps, and then there was no movement on the entire third floor.

She slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the bookshelf and opened the window, and the cool air poured into the room, blowing her much more sober - so awake that she stood there dumbfounded, not even knowing that there was a leaf in her hair.

She turned the turquoise chrysons on her wrist and touched them one by one, and after touching them three times, she suddenly found that a crystal bead was missing.

Hell knows what he's doing with it...... Suddenly, he became nervous again, wouldn't he pull down that bead and send it to Liang Guo! Su Huihui vaguely felt that since she entered the Qi realm, the situation had never developed as she hoped, and he was caught by him on the day of the Qianqiu Festival, Liang Guoren, Secret Guard, Emperor Liang, Yuwen Clan, he had a plan for the north, so what about her? Wasn't her chess piece ready-made? He investigated her identity even before she entered the palace.

Su Huihui has never bothered about her life experience in the past ten years, but in less than a year, her so-called master who is a master outside the world has pushed her to Nanqi intentionally or unintentionally, and since then, there has only been a history of blood and tears. But in the final analysis, the person in charge is still herself, if she didn't agree to Rong Jianchi to join Qi as the deputy envoy of Huimin Pharmacy, how could there be so many incidents?

Su Huihui sneezed, shook her head at the pot of flowers, and the rich aroma rushed to her nose, and she couldn't stand it anymore.

The two rooms were next to each other, and the two windows were only a few feet apart. The wooden window next door suddenly creaked, and she was so frightened that she took a step back, and felt inexplicable, so she gradually picked up her confidence, and popped up her head with confidence, and little by little she stretched out the window to look to the left.

It must be the sound of the window closing, after all, the wind is strong. She went to take a shower at a glance, and she felt at ease only when he closed the window and she closed the window too, and the two rooms did not interfere with each other, and even the air in the room did not jump to the next door.

Su warmed up and poked out, regretting it with just one glance. She shrank in quickly, snapped the window shut and closed the bamboo curtains, as if the man was still smiling like a rabbit.

She took off her clothes and buried them in the steaming water, the wound on her left arm tingled, she forgot that the ointment had not been washed off, and crawled out of the bucket with a low curse, put on her clothes and washed the ointment, and after washing herself, she was too cold to do so, and hurriedly jumped down, just breathing a sigh of relief, but the afterglow inadvertently touched the door.

She calmly took a few deep breaths and crawled out to bolt the door with her heavy body in tow.

Su Huihui felt that he was hopeless.

The whole body stretched out under the hot water, obviously it was a world of different temperatures, but the picture of sinking in the pool water over and over again in her mind came out, with a wet hair, and touched her cheek with the back of her hand.

It's hot.

There was three knocks on the door, and a maid said softly with an accent: "Girl, the son asked me to bring you medicine." ”

Su Huihui stammered: "Just put it outside, just put it outside, come out and get it in a while, thank you." ”

It's hopeless.

A day passed in a muddy nightmare, and at night, her body seemed to be at odds with her again, the medicine sent by Sheng Yunyi was very easy to use, and she was so cold that she couldn't sleep when she wiped it on her arm, and her skin was even hotter. She picked up a pen and hastily wrote a recipe for the river drum guard who was on standby, and the other party was very polite to her, and without saying a word, she went to the kitchen of the inn to buy it.

When she lay down in bed the next day, there was a warm charcoal fire burning in the room, and she was holding the quilt and was preoccupied, when the voice of her own maid came from outside. She ran out of bed and saw Ruixiang with red eyes standing at the door, Su Huihui really didn't have time to think about her in the past two days, and now the guilty mood came out, dragging her tired body to comfort and explain, and it took a long time to calm down the maid's excited feelings.

Ruixiang cried: "The girl left me alone in the guest room, the money was not paid is secondary, but the girl did not see the shadow, did not come back that night, I was in a hurry, the next afternoon to cross the river, but there was not even a figure by the river, at night I borrowed money from the shopkeeper and wanted to ask someone to go there to inquire, just a guard came to me and said that I took me to meet the girl, I was afraid that they would lie to me, but he said that he was a subordinate of the governor's family, and the governor was with the girl." Then he took out a green bead, very much like the one that the girl always carried in her hand, and I followed him for a day, and here we were. ”

Su Hui warmed up and said: "What governor ......?"

Seeing that the little girl was crying so much that she had no choice but to stop asking anything else, and help her stuff the burden outside, and serve people dutifully.

She thought about it again and again, and said solemnly: "We are about to follow them back to Beijing, if someone asks you along the way, don't say much, just stay quietly, and don't worry about me." ”

Ruixiang looked at her in disbelief: "The girl has made herself like this, doesn't it worry me?"

Su Huihui wanted to sue her very much, and she didn't want to make it like this, she was all forced.

*

At the beginning of the year, Yuan Cheng had just been promoted to the Ministry of Officials to test the merits of the Qing Officials Shi Langzhong, the official to the fifth grade, his people were in their early sixties, and the family was scarce, and he was allowed to return to his hometown for a month due to physical discomfort after the autumn.

As we all know, once the son of heaven and a courtier, the Yuan family dispersed in the first emperor's dynasty, and after succeeding to the throne, the main cadres were even more suppressed, and several Yuan children who were above the five official positions were beheaded or exiled, until the weather in Beijing was new, and the Yuan family could no longer raise their heads to be a man.

Yuan Cheng was leisurely drinking tea in the study at the moment.

The house in Wucheng was left by his grandfather's generation, not far from Fanjing, and there were all kinds of things, although there were not many servants, but they were all family-born, and he was a lot more relaxed when he returned here.

The cold wind in the courtyard is sassy, the pine trees are particularly green, the cypress trees are especially green, and the fallen leaves piled up on the ground are swept away by the small maids, which looks brand new, and there is no withered scene.

The housekeeper entered the study, changed into a new tea set for Yuan Cheng, and said in a low voice: "Master, let the lord say that he will come back tomorrow, there are some things delayed today."

The chief also said that the lord would bring a royal doctor to see the son...... It seems that His Majesty is really starting to pay attention to the master. ”

Yuan Cheng snorted from his nose and said with a smile: "Oh, now that feng shui is turning, the governor will actually come to see the old man." I think that the old man has been in the Hanlin Courtyard for ten years, and I heard that an eighteen-year-old champion of the palace examination came, and before he could meet a few times, he was transferred to the East Palace to do Zhan affairs, and then he ignored anyone, which is really a high Gengjie. Unexpectedly, our Yuan family collapsed ten years ago, and Wei Yu's old thing was not pleased, and even the young master who led this green cloud was demoted out of Beijing, and he was able to come back today. ”

The housekeeper laughed and said: "The one who knows the times is Junjie, and the old slave wants to be outside for nine years, which makes the adult's temperament sleek." ”

Yuan Cheng rubbed his temples, "The old man has been away for seven years, and he only got an idle job because of his outstanding qualifications at home, so he escaped a catastrophe, and returned to Fanjing this year, which is not the same as at that time." But this makes your lordship...... The old man's Shangfeng was also Wei Yu's protΓ©gΓ©, saying that this made Jieyu different, what he was best at was to go his own way, I am afraid that he will come here tomorrow by holy order, and the old man will not be able to please under that mouth. ”

The housekeeper was puzzled, "What did His Majesty ask him to do?"

Yuan Cheng pondered for a moment, and said: "What else can I do, isn't it just to let my cronies come to probe the wind." Last month, the old husband and sister wrote from Nan'an, saying that I should gather some people, and I don't know the meaning of this very well, and the words in the letter are not clear. His Majesty should have known about this, and he was afraid that we would form a party with the king of Yue if our wings were a little longer, so he asked the governor to come and investigate. He sneered, "The clan sister is the princess of Yue, and her identity is very different from ours, as the saying goes, the daughter who marries out spills the water, so how can the old man believe that she is wholeheartedly thinking about the Yuan family." ”

"However," he said, "since the old man, a child of the Yuan family, has returned to Beijing, it is about to be reactivated, alas...... It's a pity that my father and uncle didn't see this day. The clan sister has been married for 20 years, if it weren't for the strong King Yue at that time, and the first emperor didn't have the intention of cutting the domain, she wouldn't be much better. ”

The housekeeper said, "The princess asked the lord to gather some manpower?"

"After so many years outside, the old man has to pay attention to gaining contacts, but there are indeed some hairy boys who can use it. The king of Yue is now in the same water and fire as Beijing, and the clan sister wants me to declare to His Majesty that the only remaining Yuan clan has nothing to do with the Yue Domain, and is dedicated to the country, and will never change his heart because of the relationship between in-laws. ”

The housekeeper replaced the teapot and said, "In this way, the princess is really sensible. ”

Yuan Cheng sighed: "What do you know, all the old man can think of is that she thinks that King Yue is unreliable, and on the day she falls, let's find this reason to save her life." In any case, it doesn't seem to hurt us now, so let's leave it at that. ”

The housekeeper said: "The master is far-sighted. ”

Yuan Cheng closed his eyes and said hoarsely: "I think about the situation when my uncle and the queen mother were there...... That's really called foresight. But now, we have to earn it ourselves. ”

In the thirty-second year of the Yuan Xiang's deathbed, the words were finally believed by the first emperor, and as soon as the front foot left, the Lu family followed the back foot to the ghost gate.

As the saying goes, people are good when they die, just because the last sentence has the most weight, and as for whether it is good or not, it has become a big joke.

When Yuan Cheng and the housekeeper were relatively silent in the study, there was a string of pipa whispers from inside the moon gate of the small courtyard. The woman's giggles were mixed with an out-of-tune tune, and the fat seemed to rush through the courtyard to the bottom of the noses of the two.

Yuan Cheng fell heavily on the chair, his chest rose and fell violently, and scolded angrily: "This little beast, I'm afraid that his old man won't die early enough!"
