Chapter 31 The hard work
87_87438It stands to reason that the adult prince should have moved out of the palace a long time ago. It's just that these thirteen princes have been weak and sick since they were children, and they spend most of the year in bed.
Although the emperor did not like this son, he also took pity on him for being weak and sickly, and he did not let him leave the palace to set up another mansion when he became an adult. In addition, today's queen mother of the world, she takes special care of this prince who is not from herself, and comes to see him from time to time, and sees that he is always sick, so she also personally went to the emperor to let the thirteen princes recuperate in the palace.
It is said that the palace where the Thirteen Princes live now is still where the Queen lived before she was sealed. The feng shui here is excellent, and the blessings are profound, if it weren't for the recuperation in this treasure place, the thirteen princes would have died a long time ago.
However, these are just rumors, and how many people know the specific truth?
Yi Xun and his party went around in the secret passage for more than three hours before they came out.
And the place where he came out was already outside the city. At this time, the sky was dark, and he exhaled heavily. Three hours is equal to six hours, and in that dimly lit secret passage, I will go crazy if I hold it any longer. I really don't know how such a long secret path was cultivated. And the walls of the secret passage are all old, and I don't think they were repaired this year.
After a few people came out, they took a breath, Huang Zhenwei looked for a few nearby trees, found the marks left by his own people, and filled in a few strokes on the marks, and then several people got on the horse and continued to move forward.
Before, the restaurant in the city was a transit station, where they ate and did things, and then they scattered around, which would not attract attention at all.
After getting on the horse this time, everyone took the straight official road, and the road was unimpeded, and they traveled all night for nearly a day, and only stopped in a small village in the evening to rest.
Huang Zhenwei seemed to be very familiar with YiqiΔ here, and called the door of a family at the end of the village, and after entering, he didn't say much, and the simple old woman of the family arranged a meal for them.
Because I saw that everyone was in men's clothes, the resting place was a large room, and a kang was enough to sleep more than a dozen people, and the five of them slept very spaciously.
Shouxin muttered a little in his heart, but he didn't say anything, there will be such days. She told SΓΉ that she had to adapt, and it was no big deal. What's more, everyone here is trustworthy, and no one will do anything wrong to her. Especially since her thirteen-year-old body has not developed much, it is too early to think that these are all too early.
However, when eating and resting, Yi Xun still thoughtfully asked the old woman of the main family to find a piece of coarse cloth.
The old woman didn't ask anything, so she brought a piece of blue-black coarse cloth as requested, which seemed to be the cloth woven by the farmer's own family, or whether it was new and unused.
Yi Xun thanked him and hung the coarse cloth on the kang to act as a kang screen. The Zhuang family does not have a kang screen, so they can only use a piece of cloth instead.
On the other side of the kang are a few men, and on this side is the guard.
After a long journey, I lay down to rest at night after only eating. The body is sticky, and it is fused with the wind and dust all the way, which is very uncomfortable. But that's how it was, there was no place to bathe.
She couldn't sleep over and over, and she really didn't know what kind of mentality to use to face this kind of day.
She couldn't sleep, so she got up and went to the courtyard to sit down.
And as soon as she got up, Yi Xun followed out. An ordinary face is more like a layer of white mist, so that people can't see the slightest bit of his affection. He walked up to Shouxin in a daze, and sighed leisurely: "Shouxin, I've wronged you." β
"Huh? Master...... No, I don't have any grievances. β
"You are a girl who follows these big men every day, how can you not be wronged." Yi Xun really regretted taking Shouxin out of the island now, he thought that Shouxin would be bitter and tired. But ignoring the fact that she is with a group of big men every day, and even sleeps in the same room.
Since ancient times, men and women have not sat at the same table at the age of seven, but they have been thirteen years old. He felt that he had brought Shouxin to this situation, and he was very uneasy.
That night in the tent, in order to separate Shouxin from other men, he slept next to Shouxin by himself. But he couldn't sleep that night. On the one hand, there is a guard around him, which makes him excited. On the other hand, I also feel aggrieved and guarded. But Shouxin slept well that night, until he couldn't sleep tonight, and the guilt in his heart expanded even more.
"It's okay, isn't there a curtain across it?" Shouxin smiled indifferently, she didn't care much about this when she traveled from modern times, anyway, it didn't matter, it was just a room. It's just that this tired and running around, can't take a bath, doesn't know where she will be tomorrow, and whether there will be a life in the day makes her a little unwilling.
"Shouxin, if you want to go back, I will send someone to send you back to the island." Yi Xun thought that Shouxin was strong, so he was ruthless, if Shouxin was willing to go back, he would rather not keep her by his side.
"Master, I'm really fine! I'm like this here, isn't Senior Sister Shoufu still the same? I just can't sleep, it really has nothing to do with these things. β
Yi Xun was slightly silent, indeed, Shoufu would also be with a group of men. However, he didn't care about Shoufu at all, and treated her as an ordinary secret guard, so where would he think so much about her? As a dark guard, these are quite normal, and no one thinks so much about them.
After that, neither of them spoke, Shouxin didn't say that he wanted to go back to rest, and Yi Xun was with him.
Shouxin was helpless, so he had to say: "Let's go to sleep, do we have to go tomorrow?" β
"Hmm!" Ever since Zhuangzi came out, they had to keep on their way, walk for a day, rest for the night, and then continue.
If they are ordinary people, they have to be dragged down by such fatigue, but they are all people who practice martial arts, although they are tired, they can still persevere.
The two went back to the room one after another, lay down and rested without mentioning.
β¦β¦
Ten days later!
After this long journey, they finally reached the outskirts of the Imperial City.
Everyone was a little ashen and covered in dust.
Even if you can sometimes find a small river to scrub slightly, but it is only a scrub, and you can't take a good bath. Shouxin felt that his whole person was ugly, not to mention his face. If it weren't for martial arts, he would have been malnourished during this time.
When they arrived on the outskirts of the Imperial City, they did not enter the city immediately. Instead, he entered a Zhuangzi ten miles outside the city, and in this Zhuangzi, Shouxin joined up with the other nine secret guards. Like her, everyone was discouraged, especially Shoufu, who seemed to be very uncomfortable, pale, and a little sickly.
Huang Zhenwei waved his sleeves at this time: "Let's go to a place to rest!" β
After that, a maidservant took them to their respective rooms, this is the outskirts of the city, Zhuangzi is not as big as the Zhuangzi he has been to before, and there are not many rooms, Shouxin was assigned to the same room as Shoufu.
The servant respectfully brought them over, then lowered her head and asked, "What else do the two girls have to say?" Half an hour later, I brought the food. β
"Can I take a bath?" Shouxin's biggest concern is whether he can take a shower immediately and wash off all the dust on his body.
"Yes, I'm going to bathe!" Shoufu originally threw his burden on the bed and was about to fall to sleep, but he was busy talking when he heard Shouxin's words.
"Yes, the maid will go and prepare, and the hot water will be brought in a while."
"Okay, thank you then. What is your name? Shouxin hurriedly thanked him, this Zhuangzi is on the outskirts of the Imperial City, and I think they will inevitably deal with the people in this Zhuangzi in the future.
"Fluttershy!" Fluttershy is neither humble nor arrogant, and although she is only a subordinate, she also has the temperament of a small jasper. Shouxin thinks that the people around this Yixun are really extraordinary, and although this Fluttershy doesn't know martial arts, she has an extraordinary bearing. In the previous Zhuangzi, even a small guy was good at martial arts.
Fluttershy blesses herself, then turns to prepare hot water.
Shouxin finds a change of clothes from his own baggage. Shoufu was already lying on the bed, and he didn't lift his eyelids: "What are you doing to thank a subordinate?" We are the secret guards of our masters. β
Shouxin was speechless when he heard this, so he had to laugh dryly twice, and did not answer Shoufu.
This Shoufu also takes himself too seriously, as a secret guard, isn't he also a slave to put it bluntly, is it necessary to look down on other people's servants?
Fluttershy is also a good worker, and it doesn't take long for her to arrive with a few rough mothers-in-law carrying a tub and warm water. In the end, no, there was a screen. Without being instructed, Fluttershy orders two tubs to be placed and water filled with water, and the screen is placed between the two tubs, which looks quite elegant. At the end, a layer of flower petals was sprinkled inside the tub.
These petals greatly pleased Shoufu, and he hurriedly sent the people away, and went to the bathtub himself.
Shouxin shrugged his shoulders and went over with his clothes and cloth towel as well. When the whole person was soaked in the warm water of the tub, she felt that she had come to life.
She couldn't take a shower these days, she was about to die of depression, and she never thought that she would have such a day before. Being able to soak in warm water at this time, she feels so happy. I couldn't help but hum a small tune to express my happy mood: "I love to take a bath, my skin is good, and I ...... it."
was comfortable, and listened to Shoufu on the other side of the screen: "Little junior sister, what are you humming?" It's pretty good. β
"Uh...... Nothing, just humming. "Shouxin naturally won't tell her that this is a song from a past life in the modern era.
"Oh! Eh, you're with your master these days? Then you must be much better than me, you don't know, I'm almost exhausted...... Balabala ......: "Shoufu began to complain endlessly about suffering.
Shouxin is a little helpless, but I really don't like to listen to it, in fact, she is also very hard! There is also Yi Xun, although he is the master, he eats and lives the same as her, and there is nothing special about it. Listening to the meaning of keeping blessings, he seems to have enjoyed happiness with his master. She couldn't help but interrupt her: "Senior Sister Shoufu, don't talk about it, my master and I are similar to you, eating dry food and sleeping in the wild." It's not good for you to be heard by people muttering like this, if it reaches the ears of the master, you still think that you can't stand the pain of being a secret guard! β
Shoufu was unimpressed: "What are you afraid of, where will anyone hear?" It's just you and me! Unless you go and sue! β
Shou Xin rolled his eyes speechlessly, this Shoufu is really ......, "Senior Sister Shoufu, be careful that the wall has ears!" As for me, I didn't want to chew my tongue. What she said was a little polite, but it was also true, how many masters were around Yi Xun, and they were now in the inspection period, who knows if they were secretly observing them? .
