At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps ahead. www.biquge.info Xuanhui found that the strings in her head were so tight that they were about to break, and any movement made her frightened. She took a deep breath, stroked her stomach, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The little girl guarding the gate of the main courtyard ran over and said, "Escort Pei is back!" ”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and Yuan Xiang's eyes turned red with excitement.

Xuanhui buzzed in his head, and suspicion, worry, and worry all came to his heart. only said that Pei Rong is really back, but what about Pei Minzhong?

She asked in a trembling voice, "What about the son?" ”

The little girl said in a panic: "No, the slave didn't see ......"

Everyone's faces changed greatly, Xuanhui lifted the hem of her skirt and rushed out, and the people who stayed behind shouted one after another: "Princess, slow down!" Princess......"

A dusty figure appeared at the gate of the main courtyard, Xuanhui stopped his steps, and looked at it, it was Pei Rongzhen.

"Rong Zhen! What about the son? Xuanhui asked, staring at him deadly.

Pei Rongzhen seemed a little confused, and said hesitantly: "My subordinates have just entered the city, and I haven't seen the prince ......."

Xuanhui was in a mess, his heart kept sinking, and his legs were a little weak. Jingyun quickly stepped forward to support her, and half-pushed her to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard.

"Princess, what's the matter? What happened to him? Pei Rongzhen asked anxiously.

Xuanhui felt a little unable to breathe, and the child in her belly seemed to feel her emotions and began to move uneasily. She caressed her stomach with one hand and grasped Jingyun with the other.

Yuan Xiang cried: "Two months ago, the prince received a letter from you asking for help, saying that you were in distress in Yazhou, and the prince brought twenty guards to rescue you...... Why are you back, and the prince hasn't seen anyone yet? ”

Pei Rong was really stunned, and said eagerly: "I have never written a distress letter!" And never encountered any danger! I was in Yazhou during the Chinese New Year, and I left after the New Year! ”

Hearing him say this, Xuanhui slowly closed his eyes. She knows very well that Pei Minzhong has fallen into the trap laid by others, but who will it be?

"I'll go back to Sichuan and Shu to find the prince!" Pei Rongzhen immediately turned around and was about to leave.

"Stop!" Xuanhui shouted. She opened her eyes and took a long breath, trying to calm herself. "How is it different from looking for a needle in a haystack when you go alone like this?"

"Auntie," she turned around and instructed Jingyun, "You and Rong Zhen go to the outer courtyard to see how many guards there are in the Guogong Mansion. ”

"Rong Zhen, you work hard, take these people with you, and look for them all the way. When the prince left, he took a boat to the west, and it is very likely that he went straight to Yazhou. When the time comes, pay attention to the message of the post station, and if the prince returns, I will use the post station to tell you. ”

Pei Rongzhen hesitated: "But the situation is so tense at the moment, you can't be without guards by your side...... I'll pick ten people to bring with me, and the rest will ......."

Xuan Hui suddenly said angrily: "This is obviously a trap for the prince!" What's the use of you taking ten people to the top? I don't want you to find out where the Son is, I want you to get him back! Rescue all the mustaches and all the tails! Not even a single hair is missing! ”

With that, she burst into tears.

Pei Rong was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down, and he didn't dare to refuse.

Xuanhui cried for a while before he choked up and said, "Rong Zhen, everything is up to you...... We must find Shizi and bring him back......"

Pei Rongzhen solemnly kowtowed and said, "Don't worry, princess, your subordinates will do their best, and they will definitely live up to their mission!" ”

"Pick a good person and get on the road...... If it's two days late, I'm afraid that Jinling City won't be able to get out......" Xuanhui said slowly.

Pei Rongzhen got up, saluted respectfully, and hurriedly turned around and left.

"Auntie, you go and keep an eye on him, and ask him to bring all the people he can with him. Shizi ...... Gotta come back well! ”

"But the Duke Mansion is here...... You really can't afford to be without a guard! Jingyun said in embarrassment.

Xuan Hui said faintly: "If something really happens to the prince, what's the point of leaving me alone?" ”

Jingyun hurriedly said: "Princess! You always have to think about the baby in your belly! ”

Xuanhui barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I'm just complaining...... I've already thought about it, let's go to the palace first! ”

*

“…… So, sister-in-law, you can move in with me. We all live in the same place, so we don't have to worry about both. Originally, I wanted to move here so as not to cause you trouble, but I still have two layers of mother-in-law there...... Mrs. Tai is afraid that she is reluctant to come, so she can only grieve her sister-in-law......"

Yang Yunshu held Xuanhui's hand and said softly: "My own flesh and blood, what do you say if you are wronged or not!" I'll go with you! It's just that the side concubine is ...... Aunt Lan."

Xuanhui thought for a moment and asked, "Where are they now?" ”

"The side concubine is filial piety in the embroidery pavilion, and she easily refuses to come out. Aunt Lan is not there at the moment...... In the morning, he told me to go home and see my uncle and wife. ”

At this time, I still go out......

"Leave her alone for now," Xuanhui said decisively, "You ask someone to inform the concubine to pack up her things, and go to the Guogong Mansion when she is done." Let's go to the Drum Tower first, and then come back to clean up after we have solved the urgent needs in the city! ”

After the meal, Xu Sheng personally came over to report: "Princess, princess, the drum tower is ready, you can go over." ”

Xuanhui got up, took Yang Yunshu's hand, and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go." ”

Yang Yunshu nodded.

The two got on the sedan chair at the gate of Wangfuyi, and surrounded by many guards, they went to the drum tower one after the other.

In front of the drum tower of Jinling City, there is already a lot of people. The rumors of the morning made the people feel uneasy, and they were afraid that the officials and soldiers would not resist, so they abandoned the city; Afraid that the resistance of the official army would fail, the enemy army would plunder and slaughter the city; Fearing that the enemy would besiege the city, Jinling would run out of ammunition and food, and a human tragedy would occur......

In a peaceful and prosperous era, the people of Li only had enough food and clothing to live, and they were not affected by hunger. When the war is in turmoil, the people cannot even find a place to live, let alone anything else.

I heard that the princess and princess are still in Jinling, and the people feel a lot more at ease, at least the officials and soldiers will do more to defend the city!

When he arrived at the Drum Tower, Xuanhui got off the sedan chair, held hands with Yang Yunshu, and walked up to the Drum Tower.

"Sister-in-law, you rest, I'll talk about it!" Xuanhui saw that Yang Yunshu's face was a little pale, and said worriedly.

Yang Yunshu took a few deep breaths and nodded.

Xuanhui looked at the dense crowd under the city tower, and said loudly: "I am Princess Xuanhui of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the third daughter of the first emperor, the younger sister of King An, and the wife of Pei Minzhong, the prince of Chengguo, and next to me is Princess Yang of An." Before the prince and the prince left, they left tens of thousands of people to guard Jinling, all of whom were the personal soldiers of the Chengguo Mansion and the children of Jinling! They will defend the city with us wholeheartedly, and swear to live and die with the city of Jinling......"
