October in the capital has entered the late autumn, the weather is cooler, the grass and trees are withered, the leaves of the branches fall to only the bare branches, and occasionally a few yellowed leaves only rotate in the wind, a bleak autumn scene.

Ah Bao sat in the carriage with his daughter in his arms, carefully lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery along the way.

The carriage is four-driven, the body is spacious, the inner wall is covered with brocade, the car is covered with several layers of soft cotton wool, and the blanket from the Western Regions is also spread, and the top layer is a cushion, which alleviates some vibrations, and the carriage is slow, so that the people sitting in the carriage can hardly feel the vibration. In addition to Ah Bao in the carriage, there was also Mother Hua, who was holding another child in her arms, and Yan Hui stayed in the carriage to wait.

"Princess, be careful, don't let the wind outside blow the little master." Hua's mother nagged again.

Ah Bao smiled: "Mom, don't worry, I won't blow my two children." ”

Yan Hui poured out a cup of boiled jujube tea from the stove fixed in the corner of the carriage next to him, and said to Bao: "Princess, let's have a cup of tea and rest first, and let the slave and maid hold the little county lord." ”

Mother Hua also persuaded: "Yes, the carriage is moving slowly today, maybe it won't be able to enter the city until evening, and the princess shouldn't be too tired, the prince will be distressed." ”

Po has some black lines, she has only been hugging for a quarter of an hour, where is the tiredness? However, listening to the persuasion of the two of you, I said a word, and finally I could only obediently obey, handed over my daughter to the wild goose to hug, and she sat aside and drank tea.

As Hua's mother said, the convoy did not arrive at the gate of the capital until the evening.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw the four carriages, they muttered in their hearts that they didn't know which nobleman had entered the city, and when they saw the guards in black robes who were accompanying the carriages on both sides of the carriage, a fierce aura rushed in, and they couldn't help but shudder, and they didn't even dare to stop it, so they opened the city gate and let the convoy go straight in.

Not long after entering the city gate, before entering the inner city, he suddenly heard a chaotic sound outside, Po sat up straight, hugged his daughter carefully, and frowned to listen to the sound outside.

The screams of the crowd, the neighing of horses, and the sound of objects falling to the ground were chaotic. made Ah Bao a little worried, I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, and I am afraid that they will be implicated, the child is still young, and there can be no accidents. After thinking about it, I already have the idea of getting off at any time.

When Ah Bao and Mother Hua and Yan Hui in the carriage were worried, Xi Yuan's voice sounded outside the carriage: "Let the princess be frightened!" Please don't worry, the princess, the prince has come forward to solve it. ”

So fast? Ah Bao asked with some surprise, "Guard Xi, I don't know what happened in front of Lu Dao?" ”

Xi Yuan looked at the chaos in front of him, and said in a tangled voice: "There was a carriage of horses suddenly went crazy, rampage scared many people, the prince saw that the carriage was out of control, for fear of hurting the innocent, so he directly asked people to cut off the reins and let the horse go, and disposed of the crazy horse." ”

Ah Bao was about to ask the meaning of the disposal, when he heard a three-stage scream in the distance, which was very terrible, and soon, the voice stopped abruptly. However, because of this voice, Xiao Tiancake, who had always slept lightly, was still frightened, frowned lightly, and began to hum with a flat mouth, and Mother Hua hurriedly shook him gently to coax him.

"Guard, what's going on?"

Hearing the impatience in Bao's voice, the corners of Xi Yuan's mouth twitched, and he said directly: "After the prince asked people to cut the reins, he directly killed the crazy horse, and the owner in the carriage was frightened when he saw the dead horse!" ”

“……”

Ah Bao was suspiciously silent, put her daughter next to Hua's mother and let her lie down, helped her hairpin, and then got out of the car with Yanhui's hand.

As soon as he got out of the car, Ah Bao saw the surrounding environment clearly, and there were two streets into the inner city, which was close to the inner city, although the flow of people was not much, but it was also a few traffic arteries connecting the inner and outer cities.

At this time, there were several carriages parked on both sides of the street, far away from here, obviously looking like a wise man to protect himself, and not far ahead, a black horse lay on the ground, the horse's head and body were separated, and blood flowed all over the ground, which looked quite miserable and bloody. Not far from the dead horse is a vehicle without a set of horses, the body is a little tilted, the door is wide open, revealing a few people inside, obviously two maids and grandmothers are standing up to protect a woman inside, the girl is completely covered by the loyal servant, she can't see her face clearly, and naturally she doesn't know which family Lu Dao is.

At this time, Xiao Lingshu was sitting high on his horse, and several palace guards stood beside him, his expression was cold and indifferent, his face was cold and stiff, and he looked down condescendingly. Look at the cold man on the horse, and then look at the horse on the ground with the corpses separated, the smell of blood in the air made the people around him shiver involuntarily, remembering the rumors of this person.

This is a demon killer, who once scraped the assassin into a pool of flesh and blood on the Wanshou Festival, and even directly made the assassin a human in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and carried out the punishment of cutting off the vertebrae and intestines. Even if those assassins deserved death, it was still unbearable to see such torture in public, so that the name of viciousness and cruelty was not publicized, and people turned away from hearing it.

Therefore, the owners of several carriages who had complained about the innocent victims of the pond fish were now shut up, and they didn't dare to say a word, only hoping that the evil star would not see him.

"Lord Wang, what's going on?"

A soft female voice sounded, and everyone looked up, only to see a beautiful, dignified and elegant woman standing next to a troika in the Jin Palace, wearing a lilac cardigan skirt, bright eyes and bright teeth, kind and natural. Listening to her call the prince of Jin again, I knew that this was the princess of Jin who had been raising children in Qixia Mountain after giving birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus.

Everyone complained in their hearts, if they knew that today was the day when King Jin and his wife returned to Beijing, they would not take this road at all, and they would not have encountered this evil god killing embryo, not to mention, but also encountered the unlucky thing of Crazy Horse. Thinking about it like this, I can't help but feel some sympathy for the perpetrator, and I don't know which family's daughter Lu Dao is, and whether she will be hated by King Jin because of this.

Xiao Lingshu looked back at her, his eyes were slightly condensed, and then his expression became even colder, obviously a little displeased, and people who didn't know the truth didn't dare to take a breath.

Ah Bao knew that he didn't want her to see the dead horse, so as not to be frightened, and he was not annoyed at the moment. Xiao Lingshu is obviously not afraid of offending people, but the owner of the dead horse doesn't know which family's daughter Lu Dao is, and it is best for him to come forward, so he said: "I don't know which car is opposite, if there is anything offended in the previous matter......

"Sister Princess Jin!"

Before Ah Bao could speak, a delicate voice sounded, and I saw that in the carriage, a head poked out from behind the maid and grandmother who were huddled together, and her eyes first slipped around the man on the horse, and then looked at Ah Bao, with a pale face, and asked the maid to help her get out of the carriage.

After waiting for the carriage in the afternoon, the girl said with tears in her eyes: "Sister Princess Jin, it's good to see you and the prince here......" and then hid her face and cried, not daring to look at the dead horse.

Only then did Bao recognize that it was Gu Xinyu, a girl from the Wuchang Mansion who overturned the carriage last time and injured her leg, and later came to the Jin Prince's Mansion to rest, seeing that she was crying with a weak face, Ah Bao really wanted to roll her eyes and give her, but she still had to be gentle and considerate on her face: "Miss Gu, I don't know what happened to this horse?" ”

Gu Xinyu hid her face and continued to cry without speaking, and Mama Zhou on the side said: "Back to the princess, we don't know what's going on with Lu Dao, this horse suddenly went crazy, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the consequences would be unimaginable, Miss Slave Dai is here to thank His Royal Highness the King of Jin for saving his life." ”

Gu Xinyu also lowered her sleeves at this time, revealing her eyes that were crying like rabbits, and said: "That's it, this time thanks to His Royal Highness King Jin......" After saying that, she silently glanced at the man on the horse.

Xiao Lingshu turned the horse's head and said to Bao: "Get in the car and go home." ”

The palace guards of the Jin Wangfu began to clean up the dead horses blocking the road very efficiently, Ah Bao was a little embarrassed on his face, he didn't leave or stay, and the others also watched silently, I really don't know what Lu Dao said, someone made it clear that he only killed and did not bury, did he want to leave the girl who had not left the cabinet to deal with this matter here?

Fortunately, the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division came soon, and when the leading soldiers saw Xiao Lingshu, they shuddered in their hearts, and they didn't ask what happened here first, and hurriedly came over to say goodbye. Xiao Lingshu naturally didn't have the temperament and patience to deal with the same people, and everyone watched and directly helped Ah Bao into the carriage, ignoring Gu Xinyu who wanted to talk and the subordinates of the Wuchang Mansion who had a bad face.

The soldiers had heard of his temper, and naturally no one dared to interrupt him, and the rest of the spectators by the wall were silent. In this way, it seems that the girl of the Wuchang Mansion who has a dead horse, a broken carriage door, and can only stand outside, is quite pitiful.

Xi Yuan had to deal with troublesome things for his taciturn master, and when Xiao Lingshu ordered the team to set off and return to the house, Xi Yuan had already explained the cause and effect to those soldiers, and by the way, he also appeased the emotions of the people of the Wuchang Mansion very beautifully, and saw that Ah Bao nodded secretly, quite satisfied with his diplomatic ability.

The convoy of the Jin Wangfu quickly left, ignoring why the horses of the Wuchang Mansion went crazy, if it wasn't for the fear that the crazy horse would crash over and disturb the people in the carriage, Xiao Lingshu would not have made a move.

The people who stayed behind looked at it, and those soldiers inevitably had to clean up the aftermath, and the cars of some officials who avoided it were also left behind to solve the matter together.

"Girl, let's get into the carriage first." Mama Zhou said in a low voice.

Gu Xinyu pouted, looked at the carriage of the Jin Palace, and was a little reluctant, but she still obediently got into the carriage, and then whispered to Mama Zhou: "Mama, His Royal Highness the King of Jin helped us today, let's go to the Jin Palace's Mansion to thank you in person another day." ”

Mama Zhou's brows jumped, she had a premonition that it was not good, and said patiently: "Girl, don't worry, when you return to the mansion, Mrs. Yuming, let the lord go to the Jin Palace." If the girl wants to thank Princess Jin, let Madame take you there. In fact, Mama Zhou was very frightened in her heart, she cut off the horse's head with a clean sword, and the blood sprayed far away, as if it was about to dye the earth red, so that her heart almost stopped, and the two maids even screamed.

Mama Zhou felt that King Jin's methods were too bloody, and she didn't have to kill the crazy horse to stop it, right? And what's even more excessive is that after killing the horse, he ignored it and left directly, without any politeness, even if he was the prince of the dynasty, it was difficult for people to have a good impression.

Gu Xinyu frowned, hesitated, and said, "That's fine." ”

Mama Zhou glanced at her carefully, and always felt a little uneasy in her heart, as if the girl with big milk was about to fly high out of her palm, and she would no longer be obedient, for fear that she would do something terrible if she didn't pay attention. After thinking about it, after deciding to go back, it is better to tell Mrs. and let Mrs. probe the wind.

At this time, Peach said with a pale face: "Mama, how could the girl's horse suddenly go crazy?" ”

Mama Zhou's face became very ugly, and Gu Xinyu suddenly said, "It must be a big sister...... Hmm-" Before the words were finished, Mama Zhou, who was shocked, covered her mouth, looked around, and was relieved to see that the soldiers outside had not noticed them.

"My girl, there is no evidence, you can't talk nonsense, the eldest girl is now the princess of Xian, and she has a very strong relationship with King Xian, and she can't be wronged!" Mama Zhou saw her staring at herself, and whispered: "And you just came out of King Xian's mansion, no matter how stupid Princess Xian is, she will not let your horse have an accident right away, she must have been taken advantage of." ”

Gu Xinyu still thought that it must have been done by the annoying big sister, puffed out her cheeks, and said softly: "The second sister said that the big sister has never liked us, and she is uneasy and kind......"

Mama Zhou's cheeks twitched, and for a while she really didn't know what to say about Lu Dao, and began to complain in her heart about the second girl who had already left the cabinet, knowing that the fourth girl of Lu Dao was simple and straightforward, but she said anything to her, if this word reached the ears of Princess Xian, I don't know what happened to Lu Dao.

*****

When the convoy of the Jin Wangfu returned to the mansion, Steward Liu had already brought people from all over the mansion out to welcome the return of the master, which was quite grand.

"Lord and Princess, my subordinates are finally looking forward to your return!" Steward Liu looked like the master had finally returned from a hard journey through thousands of mountains and rivers, and said very attentively and considerately: "There are also two little masters who are back, and the subordinates are so happy, the house has prepared a meal......

Xiao Lingshu glanced at it coldly, Steward Liu's face stiffened, his chubby face twitched, and he silently shut up.

Ah Bao was amazed, and immediately fell in love with Xiao Lingshu.

Feeling that the world was quiet, Xiao Lingshu took Bao's hand, and the two nurses followed them with the twins in their arms and walked towards the main courtyard.

The house was cleaned up yesterday, and there was hot water to wash and tea to warm the stomach when you entered the door. By the time they've cleaned up, dinner is ready.

After dinner, Xiao Lingshu went directly to the study, and Ah Bao called Xi Yuan to inquire about what happened on the street before.

"My subordinates heard that the four girls of Wuchang Mansion went to visit Princess Xian in King Xian's Mansion today, and the horse went crazy on the way back, and many people said that maybe the horse was accidentally fed something by the groom in King Xian's Mansion, so that the horse went crazy." Xi Yuan glanced at Ah Bao, and then said: "It's really unfortunate, the convoy in our house entered the city, but this kind of thing happened, at that time, the crazy horse was rampant, and the subordinates were worried that they would startle the princess and the two little masters, but fortunately, the prince killed it directly......"

Ah Bao looked at Xi Yuan silently, Xi Yuan carefully peeked at her face, saw that she was not shocked, and finally relieved, and at the same time felt that their princess was not a simple woman, not only was she not afraid to see this bloody picture, but she also dared to get out of the car to investigate, and it was indeed the daughter of Jiangmen.

Ah Bao didn't know the praise in his heart, and said with some hesitation: "Are the people outside suspecting that Princess Shangxian and her sister are not compatible?" ”

Xi Yuan said implicitly: "The current Duchess of Wuchang entered the door later, and there was an original wife in the Wuchang Mansion before, who died a few years after giving birth to Princess Xian. Before the filial piety of the original wife had passed, the Wuchang Mansion asked people to hire the current lady, and welcomed her into the door two months later......"

Therefore, when this kind of thing happens, almost everyone knows that the relationship between Princess Lu Daoxian and her stepmother and two stepsisters is not compatible at all. So when this kind of thing happened to the four girls of the Gu family, some people subconsciously felt that there must be something greasy in it.

Hearing Xi Yuan's eloquent words, Ah Bao lamented that his intelligence collection was good, and at the same time, he also sighed that Princess Xian turned out to be a hard-working person, and she also had a scumbag father, and the original wife was not dead, so she hooked up with the girl from Shangshu Mansion, and then after she was angry and killed the original wife, she welcomed the current lady into the door. With a stepmother, he naturally became a stepfather, before Princess Xian got married, although she was the eldest daughter, she lived like an invisible person. As for the fact that she will have such a creation in the future, the people who know the Tao also sighed that she was lucky to meet an infatuated man like King Xian.

The corners of Bao's mouth twitched again, if she heard about King Xian's husband and wife before she got married, she would feel that the two were a model loving couple in ancient times, King Xian was a rare good man and husband, and he loved his wife very much, even if his wife only gave birth to a daughter in her first child, she never changed her mind. But now, she doubts how Princess Qixian met King Xian when she had such an encounter in her mother's family, and for what reason King Xian gave up the second girl beloved by the Duke of Wuchang and married a big girl like a transparent person.

Putting aside those, Princess Xian was born prematurely last time, although she gave birth to a son, but she lost her body, resulting in not being able to give birth in the future, Concubine Qi in the palace was naturally dissatisfied, Princess Xian was not long out of confinement, and she was going to give someone to the Xianwang Mansion, for fear that her son would not have a woman to sleep with. King Xian naturally refused at that time, and refused for a few months, until July and August, Qi Guifei gave it again, and finally accepted it helplessly. No, just two months later, a palace man became pregnant and was promoted to a concubine.

Sure enough, men in ancient times were unreliable.

Ah Bao sighed in his heart, and at the same time sighed, he remembered the appearance of the little girl of the ancient family who frequently peeked at Xiao Lingshu today, and took a mouthful of "Sister Princess Jin", Ah Bao felt cold no matter how he heard it.

She has no bad feelings for a girl like Gu Xinyu who was raised innocent and splendid, and even has a good impression, if she falls in love with someone else's husband and wants to be a junior between husband and wife, it will be full of disgust. In other words, she wouldn't really look at Xiao Lingshu so blindly, right?

After Xiao Lingshu finally dealt with the letter sent to the capital, when he came back, he saw Ah Bao holding the tea cup with a tangled look, walked over and patted her head, and found that it messed up the step on her head, stroked it a few more times, and asked, "Something?" ”

Ah Bao hurriedly grabbed his hand, and said that when she was Chacha to touch it, Zhengse said, "It's okay." "I didn't tell him that she just thought that ancient men were unreliable, who knows if he would want to go somewhere, and then she was the one who suffered.

Xiao Lingshu didn't get to the bottom of it, took the tea presented by the maid and took a sip, and then looked at Ah Bao and stopped talking.

Ah Bao was numb by him, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the prince?" ”

The man thought for a moment, shook his head, and then nodded again.

When Po was about to ask what he meant, he touched the side of her face again, and then pulled her up to go to bed.

A good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Po got up.

After breakfast, I went to see the twins who were sleeping sweetly, and Fang and Xiao Lingshu boarded the car and entered the palace together to greet the queen.

As soon as I got out of the car at the palace gate, I found that the car of the Qi Wangfu had also arrived, and when Jin Jingqi saw her, she smiled and said: "Yesterday, I heard that the five emperor brothers and the five emperor sisters-in-law are back, and I think that I will see the five emperor sisters-in-law in the palace today, but unfortunately I really saw it." ”

Ah Bao smiled back, and after greeting her for a few words, he got on the sedan chair and went to Fengxiang Palace.

Since the pregnancy of seven months to the present, Ah Bao has been graced, did not give the queen to say goodbye, and then after the confinement, in late July, the emperor returned to Beijing with a large army, the two children are small, Ah Bao stayed in the village until now, it can be said that there have been many months to the queen to say goodbye. In order not to be called unfilial, as soon as I came back yesterday, I immediately entered the palace today to say goodbye.

When I arrived at Fengxiang Palace, I found that Fengxiang Palace was extremely lively, and many concubines came to greet the queen.

Seeing Ah Bao coming, the queen smiled and said: "Fifth daughter-in-law, but I finally saw you, and the palace thought that I wouldn't be able to see you until next year." What about twins? How are they? When can I bring it into the palace to show the main palace? ”

Ah Bao also smiled: "How can it, the daughter-in-law has always been thinking about the queen mother, but the child's body is too weak to move, so she has to stay in another village until now." The children are okay now, there is Imperial Doctor Yu, but there is nothing, and the sons still want to send Imperial Doctor Yu to Xie Lu and Xie Mother. The twins are still a little younger, and when they are older, they will definitely be brought into the palace to show the queen mother. ”

After that, Ah Bao thanked the crown princess who was sitting at the head of the queen, and Jin Jingqi was beside him, and Fengxiang Palace was very lively for a while.

was bustling, and saw Qi Guifei coming over with Princess Xian, Princess Ning and the Seventh Princess.
