Chapter 319: Autumn Leaves on the Mountain Road
After Chu Zhaoye learned that Li Jinniang left the palace, he also sent people to keep an eye on them, wondering where they were going. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Now, seeing that Liu Qin said so surely, I can't help but wonder, "How did you know?" ”
"The concubine mentioned Miaoxin'an to the crown princess, saying that asking for a son over there is the most effective, and although the princess didn't care about it at that time, she listened very carefully. Now that she is going out of the city, she is going to the north city, there are not many luggage and entourage, and the concubines are sure, they must be going to Miaoxin'an. ”
Liu Qin looked at Chu Zhaoye with an eager face, and the eagerness and madness in his eyes were terrifying.
Chu Zhaoye looked at Liu Qin's eagerness almost like crazy, and he couldn't help but think that the woman's jealousy was so vicious.
He never paid attention to women. Because of the great cause of seizing the heir, a woman can be a reward after victory, for example, if he becomes the queen's harem of 3,000, it can be a mortgage for interests, such as Liu and Qian.
Since he was a child, he has seen a lot of the viciousness of the women in the palace, and there are no friends in the harem, because they can only stare at their father.
Later, when I saw Yan Ning, I felt that there was such a stupid and scheming woman in the world. Last year, Yan Ning suddenly became scheming and scheming, but it still seems a little stupid? Competing with Yan Ning, he felt like a conspiracy between the two armies.
Now, looking at Liu Qin, it is really strange, he knows that Liu Qin has hatred for Li Jinniang and Yan Ning, and only then did he realize that this kind of hatred actually hates people to death for no reason.
"Your Highness, if you believe in the concubines, they must be going to Miaoxin Nunnery. Yan Ning and His Royal Highness are against him, Li Jinniang is now related to the Anguo Mansion and the East Palace, Your Highness, I don't hear much about the people they bring......"
Liu Qin saw Chu Zhaoye looking at him silently, thinking that he didn't believe him, and eagerly lobbied, for fear that Chu Zhaoye would let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Chu Zhaoye's mind flashed, and he agreed with Liu Qin's opinion ninety percent, and he nodded, "Well, I will arrange it." ”
"Your Highness, that Yan Ning heard that his skills are very good, you need to send more people." Liu Qin's eyes lit up and suggested.
"Got it, I'll arrange these things." Chu Zhaoye was a little bored. After a moment of thought, he said softly, "Women are like delicate flowers, go back, I don't want you to get involved in these things." ”
Liu Qin was distracted by this rare gentleness, and then, a trace of sweetness crept into her heart, and she bowed her head shyly and said, "For Your Highness, the concubine is ...... The concubine is willing to do anything. The concubine retired first. She turned around, her waist swaying slightly, like a weak willow supporting the wind.
Chu Zhaoye watched her go down, and a little chill welled up on his face.
Yan Ning, will he also have such a jealous mind and want to put people to death?
Suddenly found that he was exploring such a boring little thing, he couldn't help but smile, is he doing nothing?
Li Jinniang took Yan Ning to Miaoxin Nunnery, which is on the mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, adjacent to the official road, and there is a long stone road up the mountain.
In this early winter, it is expected that there will not be too many pilgrims.
Especially after Miaoxinan knew that the crown princess was going to come to offer incense, she would definitely refuse other pilgrims.
He lowered his head, looked in front of him, lightly tapped the table with his index finger, and finally, called Li Gui in.
"Send thirty people to guard the mountain road up the mountain in Miaoxin'an, Yan Ning and Li Jinniang are killed."
After giving the order, he watched Li Gui withdraw to make arrangements.
His Secret Guard Dead Guards, after years of training, are all extraordinary. When the palace changed that night in the East Palace, he knew that against those guards, it would not be an exaggeration to say that one enemy was ten.
Li Jinniang only brought about 30 guards on this trip, plus Yan Ning, and sent 30 secret guards, which was enough.
He looked at the courtyard outside the door, and slowly clenched his fists, his hands a little cold.
A little eunuch came in and added some silver charcoal to the charcoal basin in the house.
Chu Zhaoye waved his hand and let the little chamberlain go down, it was early winter, and it was a little cold.
But he never likes to put more charcoal fire in the house, even if it is nine cold, it will not make the house as warm as spring.
Cold, can make his brain clearer.
Chu Zhaoye sat silently in the house for a long time, thinking about when Li Jinniang and his party would return to the foot of Miaoxin'an.
Li Jinniang and Yan Ning and their entourage, of course, didn't know that on the mountain road of Miaoxin'an, someone was waiting for them.
They soon reached the bottom of the mountain.
The mountain where Miaoxin Nunnery is located, the mountain is not precipitous, and everyone says that the incense is effective, and many powerful families in the capital have come here to ask for their sons and worship Buddha.
Therefore, from the foot of the mountain to the entrance of the temple, there are bluestone slabs all the way, and it is said that there are more than 1,000 steps.
Every morning, the little nun in the nunnery will sweep away the fallen leaves of this mountain road.
At the foot of the mountain, about 200 steps up, a platform was opened for pilgrims to get off the sedan chair and stop their horses. After that, the pilgrims walked up.
Of course, if there is an elderly person, you can also sit on a wicker chair and carry it up. But since they came here to worship the Buddha, in order to show their piety, many ladies would rather walk slower than go up on their own.
When Li Jinniang and the others arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was only about midnight, and there were no pedestrians on the official road, and it was even more silent on the mountain road.
As Chu Zhaoye expected, the nun of Miaoxin Nunnery presided over the ceremony, and after hearing that the crown princess was going to come to offer incense yesterday, she had already declined several other pilgrims.
Yan Ning called the chief of the guard of the East Palace and asked him to take ten people to open the way in front, leaving ten people behind the palace, and ten people alternately guarding the way up along both sides of the road.
Li Jinniang was bent on begging for a child, and she refused to sit on the rattan chair. She got out of the sedan chair, held the hand of Dream Weaver, and began to walk up step by step.
Yan Ning also took Hauni and followed behind her, walking slowly.
This Miaoxin'an, she came with the Qin family when she was asking for a son for her sister-in-law.
In her previous life, after she married Chu Zhaoye, the Qin family also came here many times to ask for a son for herself. It's a pity that no matter how effective the Bodhisattva is, he can't defeat man-made. Yan Ning thinks about it now, he and Chu Zhaoye have been husband and wife for so many years, but in the end they have no children, it should be Chu Zhaoye's hands, right?
Fortunately, there are no children, otherwise, it would just be one more life in the deep palace.
However, the nuns of this Miaoxin Nunnery have picked up this mountain path well.
Peach and red maple are planted on both sides of the road, and now in early winter, the peach blossoms are falling and their leaves are withering.
However, when the red maple is still in full bloom, looking up, the maple leaves on the roadside, bright red like flowers and blood, from time to time one or two pieces fall at the feet, as if the bluestone slab is printed with flowers.
Further up, there are more and more trees on both sides of the mountain road, and they are getting denser and denser, and there are a few towering ancient trees on the side of the road covering the overhead, and when you walk by, you only feel that your eyes are dark.
After walking for more than two hundred levels, Li Jinniang was a little panting, and there was a slight sweat on her forehead.
Walking under an ancient tree, she stopped, and Weaving Dream hurriedly asked the guards in front of her to stop as well.
By this time, the sun had risen and shone on the forest, leaving a mottled mark.
Yan Ning walked to Li Jinniang's side, only to feel that there was light reflected in her eyes, which made her unable to open her eyes for a while. This is the sunlight reflected from the blade of the knife when it is raised.
"There are assassins!" Yan Ning shouted. (To be continued.) )
