Chapter 120: Hold your ground
Zhao Teng's advisor Zhang Shihe walked briskly through the long corridor towards Zhao Teng's office. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the climate was already very cold in the early winter of Xiliang, and the wind was very strong, blowing Zhang Shihe's robe like waves.
Before he entered the office hall, Zhao Teng told him: "I plan to leave for the capital tomorrow, this time I will dress up as a businessman, and the round trip will take about 20 days." ”
Zhang Shihe knew that Zhao Teng was going to return to Beijing to see Empress Jingzhuang, his brows wrinkled unconsciously, and he said with a sad face: "Lord Wang, although I understand your affection for her very well, it's just that the matter of being surrounded and suppressed in the southwest and northwest has just passed, and I don't know if Guo Mao's side is suspected by the emperor, and Brother Jing'er is going to get married next month, so it's best for you to stay in the domain at this time." ”
Zhao Teng didn't want to wait any longer, stood in front of the window and looked at the mountains in the distance and said: "I can't live this year with peace of mind if I don't see her, and my heart will ...... Don't persuade me, I'll make sure I'm safe. ”
He hadn't slept a day since hearing the news that she was vomiting blood, and if her body couldn't hold it, then what was the point of all the plans he had done along the way? He went to see her, firstly, to have a bottom in his heart, and secondly, he really wanted to see her, hug her, and talk to her.
He had secretly bribed several people in the Qingxin Villa, including the two palace maids of Empress Jingzhuang, and he would co-stage a scene with them so that he could meet her smoothly.
The plan to occupy the southwest and northwest regions has failed, and it is useless to think about it, Zhao Teng only wants to meet the person he dreams of for a while.
It was only after seeing her and making sure that her body was okay that he was able to devote himself to the next plan with all his might.
Zhang Shihe sighed in his heart, but when he saw his expression of 'no one stop me', he didn't dare to persuade him anymore.
However, he still felt that Zhao Teng was too emotional.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Shihe still said: "The more important the person who becomes a big thing, the less emotional he can be at the critical juncture, Lord Wang, I hope you will think about it again tonight." ”
Zhang Shihe got up and left.
When he walked through the garden, Zhang Shihe happened to see the princess Shen coming here, and suddenly had a plan.
Zhang Shihe took the initiative to greet the princess and talked to her softly.
The princess nodded.
That night, the princess waited for Zhao Teng to lie down and said: "Lord, the concubine has nightmares these few nights, dreaming that you fell off the cliff with a man and a horse, the concubine is really worried, this morning invited Master Liuba to occupy a hexagram, he said that you are really not suitable to go out recently, otherwise there will be a danger to your life, the concubine is very worried when she hears this, and she is busy going to Daying Temple to burn incense, but after coming back, she is still very uneasy, so I hope you try not to go out recently." ”
Zhao Teng laughed disappreccantly and said, "Don't you usually don't believe this?" Why did you suddenly believe it again? ”
"The scene in the dream is so realistic, the concubine is really scared. Lord Wang, some things are indeed mysterious, and we don't believe it. ”
Zhao Teng glanced at her, turned over and said, "I know, go to bed early." ”
The princess was afraid that he would still insist on leaving, so she reached out and stroked his shoulder and said, "Lord Wang......"
Before she could finish speaking, he said impatiently, "I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
The princess had no choice but to swallow back the words that came to her mouth.
The next day, Zhao Teng got up early in the morning and said to the princess: "I am in a bit of a hurry to go back to Beijing, but I promise to come back before Brother Jing gets married." ”
The princess pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why does the prince suddenly want to return to Beijing?" Is there something going on in the capital? Does Master Zhang know? ”
At this time, there was a humane outside: "Lord Wang, the things are ready, and you can go." ”
Zhao Teng said to the princess: "It's to deal with a private matter, and I will be back in about twenty days, and if you have anything you can't do during my absence, discuss it with Lord Zhang." Then he wanted to go out.
The princess hurriedly knelt down and said, "Lord, have you forgotten what the concubine told you last night?" How can you feel at ease when you go out to let your concubine and two children go out at this time? ”
Zhao Teng was anxious to leave, so he slowed down his tone and said, "There are twenty people with strong martial arts to follow me, and it will be fine." And he said, "Don't make a fuss all the time." ”
The princess hurriedly stretched out her hand to hug his leg and said, "Then tell the concubine what you are going to do, so that the concubine and the children can rest assured." ”
Zhao Teng said angrily: "Presumptuous, let go." ”
The princess still hugged his leg tightly and said, "The concubine can't let go, as soon as the concubine lets go, you will leave." ”
She's also out of the way, she'd never done that before.
Zhao Teng wanted to push her away with all his might, but in the end he couldn't bear it, so he sighed: "I'll explain to you when I come back." ”
"No, no one can say for sure." The princess still wouldn't let go.
Zhao Teng was about to get angry again when Zhao Jing walked in, and knelt down at Zhao Teng and said: "Daddy, my mother really invited Master Liuba to divination yesterday, and when the child was also present, the master said that you should not go far in the past two months, otherwise it is easy to worry about your life, I hope you will think twice." ”
Looking at the mother and son who were kneeling on the ground and persuading him bitterly, Zhao Teng was in a complicated mood, and only after a long time did he say to his subordinates: "I'm not going, let's unload everything." ”
The princess and Zhao Jing exchanged a look.
The two of them also breathed a long sigh of relief at the same time.
And Zhao Teng went to the study with a cold face.
Zhao Teng took out the portrait he painted last time from the drawer, and tears suddenly burst out of his eyes.
If he can't go to see her, then he won't have peace of mind this winter, but now...... He sighed deeply again.
After learning the news, Zhang Shihe suddenly fell into his heart, and came to chat with Zhao Teng for a long time that night, said a lot of lenient words, and saw that Zhao Teng was finally not as anxious as before before he got up to say goodbye.
…………………
The imperial concubine stood straight in the garden in front of her dormitory, her eyes fixed on the direction of the intersection.
After waiting for nearly two quarters of an hour, a palace maid appeared at the intersection.
The imperial concubine was suddenly shocked, turned around and walked quickly into the house.
The palace maid immediately followed into the house and handed a piece of paper crumpled into a small ball to the imperial concubine.
It was the reply that the imperial concubine got from Zhao Yuxun, who was locked up in King Jin's mansion, through the joint efforts of several people.
The imperial concubine immediately unfolded the letter and read it.
Counting that King Jin has been grounded for almost three months, and now that he finally sees his handwriting, the imperial concubine has tears in her eyes before she starts to read the letter.
“…… In view of the child's current situation, the child is not recommended to deal with the prince at this juncture, even if his current situation is very favorable for us to attack. The child plans to stay on hold for the rest of the year, to make a good impression on His Majesty first, and then we will act according to the situation after the New Year. These are the words of Zhao Yuxun at the end of the letter.
After reading it, the imperial concubine immediately put it on the stove and burned it. (To be continued.) )
