Chapter 337 galloping
Li Xiaonuan looked straight at Princess Cheng, sighed for a long time, and suggested in a low voice: "Why don't you let Wanruo come over and be a companion with Xuyi?" ”
"This is your kindness, thank you, you are a reasonable person, I can only take her away."
Princess Cheng wanted to laugh, but sadness surged from the bottom of her heart, this smile and sorrow collided and converged on her face, Princess Cheng's face twitched, and she hurriedly covered her face with her hand, and after a while, she put down her hand and shook her head with despair, "You know, she can only go with me." ”
Li Xiaonuan sighed lowly, and did not persuade again, if Zhou Wan didn't follow her, how could she win the trust of King Cheng? They are husband and wife, after all, it is not her and Cheng Ke.
"When are you going to leave?"
"Tonight."
Princess Cheng raised her chin slightly, suppressed her tears, her face calmed down slightly, and she replied with a secret sigh of relief.
"Well, in an hour, I'll ask someone to come to you, and you can leave me a letter." Li Xiaonuan thought for a while and said in a low voice.
Princess Cheng thought for a while, raised her hand to untie a small but unusually smooth jade gourd around her neck, and handed it to Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan took it, held the jade gourd that still had Princess Cheng's body temperature, looked up at her, and whispered with concern: "Don't come hard, slow down first, find a good opportunity, don't hurt yourself, you still have Wanruo." ”
Princess Cheng smiled miserably, looked at Li Xiaonuan with sad eyes, her lips moved, but she didn't answer, lowered her head, raised her hand to wrap her hat, turned around and lifted the curtain and got out of the car, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly moved forward, picked up a thin slit in the curtain, and looked at Princess Cheng's straight back and disappeared at the corner of the street in a blink of an eye.
Almost immediately, Cicada Wing jumped into the car lightly, looked at Li Xiaonuan with a concerned face, Li Xiaonuan held the jade gourd tightly in his hand, leaned back on the pillow, thought carefully for a long time, and commanded in a low voice: "Tell my mother, I'm going to go to the master's place, let her go back and rest first." ”
Cicada Wing agreed, jumped out of the car, passed the word in the past, came back and instructed the coachman, and then jumped into Li Xiaonuan's car and waited with him, followed Li Xiaonuan's long entourage and mother-in-law behind the car, turned the head of the car, and went to Cheng Ke's military camp.
Princess Cheng turned a few corners before jumping into a very ordinary carriage waiting on a secluded street, Zhou Wanruo hurriedly lifted the curtain from the car, let her mother in, her fingers trembled and helped her untie the cloak, Princess Cheng gently pressed Zhou Wanruo's hand, and whispered: "Mother came by herself, it's okay." ”
Zhou Wanruo breathed a sigh of relief, moved back, took the cloak that Princess Cheng had taken off, flipped it over, and stuffed it into the corner of the car in a mess. Princess Cheng let out a long sigh of relief, leaned back on the pillow, closed her eyes, and swayed as the car swayed, contemplating what to do next.
The car entered the palace gate and stopped in the second gate, Princess Cheng got out of the car, Yu Jian stepped forward to support Princess Cheng and her arm, close to her, and said in a low voice: "It's all right." ”
"Well, find a proper mother-in-law, go to the West Courtyard, and say that the master has a letter, let her come over."
Yu Jian agreed, turned around and called a mother-in-law to come over, and commanded in the ear, and the mother-in-law agreed, and trotted to the west courtyard to pass the word.
Princess Cheng returned to the main courtyard with a calm demeanor, and was waited by Jin Ling and Yu Jian to change into a neat short riding costume, and Zhou Wanruo followed her mother closely and also changed into a riding costume. As soon as the two of them packed up, there was a report from the mother-in-law at the door, Xu had already entered the weeping flower door, Princess Cheng stroked her daughter's cheek, and ordered with a relaxed smile: "Go to the house, don't come out, let's leave in a while." Zhou Wanruo obediently agreed, turned around and entered the inner room.
Yu Jian looked at Princess Cheng inquiringly, saw that she nodded, and quietly waved her hand to retreat from the girls waiting in the house, only herself and Jin Ling waited left and right.
The mother-in-law lifted the curtain, Xu's face was pale with anticipation, and the footsteps hurriedly entered the house, Yu Jian half-lowered her eyes, leading her into the east chamber, Princess Cheng was dressed neatly and shortly, sitting on the couch, seeing Xu come in, she didn't talk much, she looked at Jin Ling, drooped her eyelids, Jin Ling flashed out from behind the door of the east chamber, shook the bright red silk rope in her hand, tightly wrapped around Xu's neck, Yu Jian stepped forward, kicked Xu behind her knees, Xu's two hands desperately picked the rope in her neck, and her two eyes protruded and fell to the ground, Princess Cheng picked up the cup, looked at Xu, took a sip of tea slowly, and said lightly: "The master has sent a letter, let you be martyred." ”
Xu's face turned purple as if it was twice as big in an instant, desperately struggling to stare at Princess Cheng, the feather arrow stepped on her head, Jin Ling tightened the red rope hard, Xu's tongue spit out, and his legs kicked straight back a few times, and then he lost his breath, Princess Cheng took a deep breath, put down the cup, and indifferently ordered: "Fill it in the backyard well." ”
Jin Ling and Yu Jian silently agreed, pulled out the cloth bag that had been prepared long ago from behind the door, one opened the mouth of the bag, and the other put Xu in, Yu Jian tightened the mouth of the bag, and Jin Ling lifted the bag together, quietly went out of the door, turned to the back yard of the main courtyard, went out of the corner door, turned around again, put down the bag, Jin Ling walked to a dry well, pushed away the bluestone pressed on it, the two carried Xu and threw it in, and heard a dull ' After the plopping sound, Jin Ling glanced at the feather arrow, and the two carried the bluestone to its place, clapped their hands, and turned around to go back to the main courtyard to resume their lives.
Princess Cheng breathed a long sigh of relief, sat silently on the couch, closed her eyes and thought for a long time, instructed Yu Jian to take the pen and paper, carried the pen, and thought about it with sadness for a long time.
The henchman outside, the mother-in-law, led a tightly wrapped woman who looked like a woman, entered the weeping flower door, and the feather arrow hurriedly took it, and she didn't care about the mother-in-law who passed the word, just stared at the person who looked like the mother-in-law, and asked in a low voice: "Where is the princess?" The person who looked like a mother-in-law nodded as if he didn't have anything, Yu Jian was overjoyed, and hurriedly waved his hand to retreat from the mother-in-law, leading the person into the main house, Princess Cheng was still writing an explanation to Zhou Shiyuan, Yu Jian's voice was full of joy, and he reported in a low voice: "Princess, people are here." ”
Princess Cheng reluctantly stopped the pen, closed her eyes, and nodded while collecting dozens of pieces of paper with more and more messy handwriting, and the feather arrow bent her knees and retreated, leading the person who looked like a mother-in-law into the east chamber. The woman looked like a man took off the cloak outside, it was an ordinary young man, the little guy grinned, holding a crystal clear jade gourd, and offered it, the feather arrow hurriedly stepped forward to take it, handed it to Princess Cheng, Princess Cheng picked up the jade gourd casually, pinched it in the palm of her hand, stared at the little maid tightly, the little maid shook it to the end, and said respectfully: "The young lady ordered, let the little one send the princess out of the city, outside the city, the young lady was also settled, and escorted the princess all the way to Taiyuan Mansion." ”
Princess Cheng let out a long sigh of relief, "Well, okay, let's go." ”
Princess Cheng said, got up and got off the bed, Zhou Wanruo had already secretly hidden behind the curtain in the inner room, staring intently at the movement of the east chamber, listening to Princess Cheng's words, hurriedly lifted the curtain and came out, with a hint of excitement in her apprehension, looking at Princess Cheng, and then turning her head to look at the little girl curiously. Yu Jian and Jin Ling took the cloak and came over, waiting for Princess Cheng and Zhou Wanruo to wear it, and they also wore the cloak, and the little maid still wrapped himself tightly with the cloak in the shape of a mother-in-law, and the group quietly went out of the back corner gate, got on the horse, wrapped cotton cloth on the horse's hooves, and ran silently in the direction of the city gate.
Out of the city, rushed for twenty or thirty miles, the little guy rushed ahead, looked around left and right, suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone, got off the horse, in the forest on the side of the road, quietly came out of a dozen people, and a very inconspicuous, but unusually strong carriage came, the little guy turned the horse's head, ran to Princess Cheng's side, and said in a low voice: "Princess, our young lady ordered, the girl is not used to riding a horse, if you ride all the way like this, I am afraid that the girl will not be able to stand it, or please ask the girl and the princess to get on the car, let's hurry, day and night, and not slow." ”
Princess Cheng turned her head to look at her daughter, who was already panting, sighed and thanked: "Thank you for your young lady's thoughtfulness, so be it." ”
Saying that, he turned over and got off the horse, and got into the car with Zhou Wanruo, the car was very spacious, covered with thick and soft cushions, snacks and tea were readily available, Zhou Wanruo cheered lowly, Princess Cheng sighed, looked at her daughter with pity, and watched her crooked in the car, and fell asleep after a while.
Princess Cheng lifted the curtain and stared blankly at the sparse starlight in the distance.
Li Xiaonuan crooked in the car, closed his eyes, as if asleep, the cicada wings gently unfolded the bed quilt and covered Li Xiaonuan's body, Li Xiaonuan stretched his body, put himself comfortable, as the car shook slightly, thinking carefully about the bits and pieces that came out of the palace, seemed to sigh, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, Princess Cheng took Zhou Wanruo, rushed to Taiyuan City like a moth to a fire, is he helping her, or is he sending her to Huangquan Road? In this world, there may really be Huangquan Road, and maybe, she can be like herself, and she has gone to another unknown place......
In the early hours of the morning, the people and horses who had been running all night quietly stopped in a small forest to rest, Zhou Wanruo helped her mother get out of the car, and walked slowly around the car, Jin Ling and Yu Jian watched the fire of life cooking, and those strange guards talked and laughed easily, arranging the harness luggage, and preparing for the next round of galloping. In the post station that was a day's journey away from the group, Qianyue was dressed in black, with a gloomy face, with her hands behind her back, listening intently to the low report of the pale guards who were hurrying, her brows gradually tightened more and more, and she escorted Princess Cheng into Taiyuan Mansion! What is this going to do? Qianyue turned her head, stared at the guard who was passing the word for a while, and instructed indifferently: "Thank you for your hard work, go back and report to the master, and say that you know." The guard agreed, and lowered his hand.
