162 No chance to leave the palace
"Yes! It is already under construction, and it will be completed in less than a month. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although he wondered why Qiao Chengyi suddenly asked this question, Mu Qianlan still replied.
"If you need any help, just say it, and I'll do my best to help. Qianlan, the capital is far from what you imagined, although you are now loved by the empress, but after all, I have been in the capital longer than you, and some things are easier to do than you. Qiao Chengyi stabilized his mood and gained confidence when he spoke.
Mu Qianlan didn't expect Qiao Chengyi to say such a thing in the end, but since it was his kindness, she accepted it.
What's more, what Qiao Chengyi said was right, he fell out of favor with the empress because of Liu Yunhe's rebellion, such a thing is too secret, and people outside don't know. And the people outside not only don't know the inside story here, but even feel that Liu Yunhe was deposed from the throne for rebellion, and now only King Huanan, who can inherit the throne, can be said that Qiao Chengyi is hot in the hearts of those people outside, and even the slightly lowlier officials feel that Qiao Chengyi will definitely inherit the throne in the future. Therefore, there are many people who are now doing their best to Qiao Chengyi, and they all send money, gifts and beauties.
If he really encountered something difficult in the capital, Qiao Chengyi would definitely be stronger than himself. But now it's different, there are people sent by the empress by her side, although those people don't know what their identities are outside, they must be people with extraordinary means, otherwise, the empress won't give those people to herself.
Moreover, she is not without doubts in her heart, after going through so many things, can she still be as sincere as she was now?
"The prince's kindness, Qianlan has received it, and it is going well for the time being, and there is nothing that needs the prince's help. If he needs the prince in the future, Qianlan will definitely turn to the prince for help. Mu Qianlan said with a slight smile.
Qiao Chengyi sighed in his heart, although he was polite, but in the end, he was unfamiliar, Qianlan and himself had come farther and farther after all, but who could blame him?
In the final analysis, is it his own, the reason why Qianlan was not able to enter Beijing with him in the first place was not to save his life and put himself in danger?
However, when she was recuperating, he almost forgot about her completely with Liu Yunhui by his side, if it wasn't for the **** to meet Qianlan by chance, maybe he wouldn't even have the chance to see Qianlan again in his life. Today, he is also to blame!
"The prince doesn't seem to be in very good health, if it's okay, it's still a good rest in the house, otherwise it won't be conducive to the prince's physical recovery." Mu Qianlan finally persuaded this sentence.
The current Qiao Chengyi, in the heart of the empress, is only afraid that he is also on guard, if he can live a low-key life in the mansion with peace of mind, maybe he will have a good end in the future, if he can't rest assured, and still thinks about making small moves, it is unknown whether the empress can really tolerate him.
The empress is a soft-hearted person, which is true, but many people forget when they see this, no matter how soft-hearted the empress is, she is also a person who has sat on the throne for decades, and there is no lack of killing decisions at all.
I just hope that Qiao Chengyi can listen to her words, don't let herself go to a dead end, and the grievances and grievances between her and him will be written off. When he was desperate, he took him in, but when he was in great danger, he also saved him regardless of his safety, which can be offset.
Qiao Chengyi didn't expect Qianlan to suddenly say such a sentence, for no reason, he suddenly felt a little weak. After all, he didn't say anything, turned around and left the palace.
It's just that in the deepest part of his heart, he vaguely felt a little pain, if Qianlan saw himself like this before, he would definitely feel distressed, but as a famous doctor known to everyone in the capital now, Qianlan actually only said that he would let himself rest, and he didn't even invite himself into the dormitory to treat himself. Could it be that this road really doesn't work?
And Qianlan didn't know how much Qiao Chengyi had in her heart when she walked out of the palace, she only knew that Qiao Chengyi was gone, and the heavy things she was pressing in her heart seemed to follow, and she felt extremely relaxed for a while.
And just after Qiao Chengyi left the palace, the empress got the news that Qiao Chengyi went to see Mu Qianlan.
"Do you know, what did he say to Qianlan?" The Empress was a little angry.
Isn't Qiao Chengyi sick? It's not good to cultivate in the house, what are you doing in the palace in a good way? Don't see anyone else, just see Qianlan? To say that it was just to catch up with the past, the empress didn't believe it anyway.
Back to His Majesty's words, the two only met briefly and didn't say anything. Wang Ye Qiao asked Miss Mu if there was a place to help with the construction of the pharmaceutical factory, and Miss Mu said that if there was a place in need, she would go to Lord Qiao for help, and that's it. The two men didn't even enter the palace door, but they said at the door. The person standing in the corner next to him said with a smile.
This King Huanan is also really, and he came to the palace in a good manner, which made the empress unhappy, just to say these few words. He has this kung fu, so he might as well think about how he can regain the trust of the empress.
However, he won't tell Prince Qiao about these flowers.
When the empress heard this, she snorted coldly, but at this time, she remembered to be courteous in front of Qianlan? Don't you think it's too late? It's all something that has the ambition of a wolf.
Liu Yunhe's rebellion is hateful, but he, Qiao Chengyi, should not be ill-intentioned to think about what benefits he will get from Qianlan, otherwise don't blame himself for being ruthless and unable to tolerate him.
What is the king of Huanan, what royal blood, what heir, this is all in the absence of Qianlan, if he knew that Qianlan could return to his side, how would he be willing to raise these few ungrateful things that day?
I have to say that after these recent events, the empress deeply regretted her adoption of Qiao Chengyi, Liu Yunhe, and Liu Yunhui, three fatherless and motherless royal orphans.
Therefore, even if she only vaguely felt that Qiao Chengyi had a problem, and did not find any real evidence, she decided to beat Qiao Chengyi to the bottom, and did not intend to let Qiao Chengyi have any chance.
And Mu Qianlan, who had no other ideas about these, set off to Changhe County with people on the second day. She walked very low-key, and even the people in the palace didn't know very well what she was doing when she went out of the palace.
The battlefield is not far from the capital, but because Changhe County is in the opposite direction to the battlefield, Mu Qianlan never felt that he was in any danger walking on this road. In particular, in her opinion, she is just a small person who can't be small, how can He De be worthy of people's hearts.
Therefore, her most original idea was the same as before, just go on the road alone, and it is not conspicuous, and it is estimated that no one will pay attention to her.
But the empress didn't dare to risk letting her go alone now, Mu Qianlan was now more and more important in the empress's heart, so important that the empress didn't want her to have the slightest chance of being hurt.
If Qianlan makes a mistake, the empress will never accept it, and she is more willing to take precautions to protect Qianlan under her wings.
Mu Qianlan actually didn't want someone to follow her, after all, she still had secrets to cover up, and it would be inconvenient to follow others. But she also knew that she couldn't resist the empress, so in order to make the empress feel at ease, in the end, she still brought three people.
This is already the empress's bottom line, if she hadn't insisted, I was afraid that the empress would arrange more than ten people. Take it with you, and it's not that you always serve by your side, but just protect yourself around yourself.
A group of four people rode horses, and when the sky was slightly bright, they left the capital and walked in the direction of Changhe County.
Out of the capital, you can see dry crops everywhere.
Looking at the large patches of withered yellow crops, Mu Qianlan was a little distressed, this is all food, but because of the lack of water, it has become like this.
Although there are now waterwheels in many places, they can only alleviate the drought along the river. Far from the river, the crops still have no way to be irrigated, and they can only watch as they dry up day by day.
Is there anything else that can be done to alleviate this? In fact, opening up channels is not a bad way, but this method is too slow to take effect, and it is really far from quenching thirst.
Mu Qianlan thought hard, but she didn't have a clue at all. It seems that to alleviate the drought, God still needs to open his eyes.
Maybe it's because her homeland can't live anymore, or maybe it's because it's unsafe to fight, there are a lot more displaced people on the road than when she last went to Beijing.
Mu Qianlan watched these people hesitate in tattered clothes, and she really didn't feel good in her heart. When natural and man-made disasters appear together, the saddest thing is the ordinary people, where can these people go with their children and daughters? Where will they be able to settle down?
Mu Qianlan couldn't help but remember, before leaving, he seemed to have heard Qin Tianjian say that there would be rain in seven days at most, and it would be a large-scale rainfall. The Qin Tianjian also said that this rain would alleviate the drought in most parts of Daqi.
But it's been four days, and I still haven't seen any signs of rain. Is what the people of Qin Tianjian said accurate? If it doesn't rain again, the crops will really be lost.
Once the crops are lost, for Daqi, it will be a catastrophe, not to mention, whether the war can continue to last, that is, whether the lives of the people can be guaranteed is difficult to say, once the people's food and clothing can not be guaranteed, will there be a large-scale homeless riot?
If so, what? Could it be that my efforts for so long are really going to be in vain?
With worries, Mu Qianlan and the others walked for another day. At this time, there are still two days away from Changhe County.
Mu Qianlan has also walked this road a few times, and the situation along the way is very familiar, knowing that there is a small town not far ahead, although it is not very big, but it is really not small, and it is much bigger than Hulukou.
The town is very prosperous, not only with restaurants and restaurants, but also with inns to settle in. I was able to take a good rest, I was in a hurry for days, I didn't have a good place to rest, and Mu Qianlan also felt tired.
In the past, when she was in a hurry alone, Mu Qianlan would stay in her own space at night to rest, not only could she sleep well, but she could also have more time to do other things, but now that someone is following, she can't enter the space to rest at any time, along the way, her physical energy consumption is not small, and she really wants to take a good rest.
Watching the sun gradually sink in the west, Mu Qianlan asked several people to speed up, this section of the road will take a lot of time, if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get to the town before nightfall.
At the moment, the horse was a little faster.
It's just that a few people haven't gone far before they feel that the wind is blowing.
After days of drought, only the scorching sun, and things like the wind have become extravagant, and now I suddenly feel the wind blowing on my cheeks, which is really a little uncomfortable.
It's just that before Mu Qianlan could react to the wind, he felt that the wind speed seemed to be increasing.
Wind? Is it going to rain? Subconsciously, Mu Qianlan looked up at the sky in a hurry.
Sure enough, there were clouds up, and Qin Tianjian said yes, it was going to rain. Seven days is the limit, today is the fifth day, it is about to rain, Qin Tianjian still has some ability.
"Miss Mu, the wind is getting stronger and stronger."
"I'm afraid that there will be heavy rain, and we may not be able to settle in the town in front of us."
The three people who followed were not uninformed, and it was really not a good choice to travel in such a situation, and it was best to find a family to take shelter from the rain temporarily.
"Hurry up, maybe there will be someone ahead." Looking at the desolate appearance of the surroundings, it is really impossible to shelter from the rain, Mu Qianlan immediately said loudly.
The wind is blowing stronger and stronger, tearing people's clothes, and even when they speak, they feel that they are holding their breath very much, and there will be fine dust particles entering when the mouth is opened, which is really bad.
Mu Qianlan felt a little depressed, if it weren't for someone else, she would drill into the space now, and the lightning and thunder outside would not hinder her at all, but now because of these few people, she could only rush in such a harsh environment.
With a quick horse and a whip, the speed of several people was a little faster, but the weather changed quickly, and it seemed that just in an instant, there were raindrops that couldn't wait to fall.
That is, when the raindrops fell, Mu Qianlan and the others also saw a small courtyard not far ahead, and several of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Quick, let's go to the front!" shouted at a few people, and then Mu Qianlan urged the horse forward.
Today's rain, I'm afraid that it is not only menacing, but also can't stop for a while, or if you don't hurry up, you can only be a soup chicken. Mu Qianlan didn't want to be watered by the heavy rain at this time, it was the crops that needed to be watered by the heavy rain, but not her. (To be continued.) )
