Chapter 62 Traveling in the Rivers and Lakes
Du Lingjun looked at me with wide eyes: "Do you want to go to the south with me to find Yunqi?" I said, "Why not?" We travel together without worries. “
Du Lingjun was out of the Qingcian Martial Arts Academy in the capital, where the imperial court cultivated martial arts, and his martial arts were not weak.
Du Lingjun said: "Sounds really good. I laughed and looked at him and said, "Cousin, why don't we let go of everything, what is right and wrong, what family, all of them, and go to the rivers and lakes together?" ”
He said seriously, "Okay, we'll leave tomorrow." I smiled and said, "In such a hurry, don't you want your rice shop?" He said, "It has been sold." I nervous and whispered, "Did anyone find you?" He said: "In the past two days, there have been many strangers in the town, all of whom are armed with martial arts. He paused and said, "Come to you." ”
I was silent, Zhou Sinian was looking for me. Should I stay here and wait for him to find me, and return to the mansion as a matter of course? But there are countless small voices in my heart shouting: "Don't go back!" Don't go back!" I made up my mind not to go back. I think of the days when I traveled with Zhou Sinian, how happy! What joy! Although the ending is that I have to marry him, this ending doesn't seem bad at all.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Let's leave overnight." He said, "Have you thought about it?" What are you if you follow me? It's not good for your name. I sneered disdainfully and said, "Is it worth eating?" Draw circles for yourself. Let's go to be a ranger, regardless of what others think. Du Lingjun smiled: "Okay, just go." ”
So he took two horses, and the two of them went away.
Ran south along the official road all night, when the sky was bright, people were sleepy and tired, and they were also very hungry, and there was a breakfast stall at the intersection in front of them, and Du Lingjun and I got off the horse and came to the breakfast stall. There are only simple rice porridge and wotou on the breakfast stall, but you can look at the distant mountains like daisies, blowing the cool breeze, and still eat extra sweet.
Du Lingjun laughed, picked up a piece of nest head, and said: "I used to think that I couldn't endure this kind of suffering, but now I feel that the suffering is all up to me." I didn't expect you to be able to get used to it. “
I smiled, didn't say a word, and was sleepy. Ask the boss: "Boss, do you have a place to sleep here?" The boss said, "Put the bench together and you can sleep, there are not many people here." I moved two benches and slept down the street. Du Lingjun also moved two benches and lay down beside me.
I said, "We can't all sleep, somebody has to watch." Du Lingjun said: "Guess the boxing, whoever loses will not sleep." I pouted and said, "Why are you like this, if Brother Nian would definitely let me sleep first." My heart was sour, and I missed Zhou Sinian.
At this time, a familiar voice came: "You all sleep, I'll show you something." It turned out to be Yu Xuanji, I didn't see where he was just now, and now he suddenly appeared.
I suddenly fell asleep, jumped up from the bench, and saw Yu Xuanji taking off the hat above his head and sitting at the table drinking tea. The first rays of the late spring sun happened to come out and shone on him. The white robe on his body was spotless, and it was dyed with a golden halo by the sun. Suddenly, this humble breakfast stall was also dyed with a hint of fairy energy.
I sneered, this otherworldly-looking Taoist is a corrupt criminal and the father of an illegitimate child. I stood up, walked over to his table, and said contemptuously, "Master Xuanji, it's very moisturizing!" Yu Xuanji raised his eyes to look at me, and then looked around, except for the boss who was busy working in the back, only Du Lingjun was lying on the stool and falling asleep. Then he whispered, "Princess, please take a seat, let's talk slowly."
I sat across from him, bracing my cheeks and squinting at him. He said: "I heard that you ran out of the Guogong Mansion and came to look for you, princess, Dingguo Justice is looking for you, he is very anxious, you better go back." I looked at him with a smile and said, "Brother Nian is in a hurry, what's your business?"
Yu Xuanji still drank tea calmly, and said for a long time: "Xuanji has caused trouble for the princess this time, and he must do something to make up for it. I laughed and said, "The Taoist chief quite understands the way of husband and wife, has he ever been married to anyone?"
Yu Xuanji's face didn't change, he just raised his eyes and glanced at me, and said seriously: "Princess, don't laugh like this, the poor Dao is a monk, even if it is for the princess," he stopped, and his voice lowered: "It's also out of affection and courtesy, and Xuanji has a clear conscience."
I looked at his face, and there was a kind of righteousness on this face, and this righteousness came from the deepest and deepest heart, and it could not be pretended. I thought to myself, could it be that Zhou Sinian made a mistake? The queen mother did not personally admit who the child's father was, but the queen mother lived in the inner palace, except for the father and the emperor, the only man who often walked in the palace was Yu Xuanji. Even a future colt like Zhou Sinian, if it weren't for the fact that he was in the palace because of the wedding, he would not have been summoned by his father, he would not have been able to enter the palace casually.
He saw that I was silent, and said, "I shouldn't have used your money privately to make the Guogong misunderstand, I'm sorry." I came here to apologize to you and ask you to return to the Gongfu, Guogong is really anxious. He was a prince of the country, his tone was full of respect and love, and I said suspiciously: "On the day of the wedding, Brother Nian wanted to kill you, so I ran to report to you, if there was no such holiday, there would be no today's events."
He didn't speak. I continued, "Do you know why he killed you?" He said: "The princess didn't say it at the time, and Xuanji didn't know it, maybe the prince didn't like me to have a close relationship with the princess, which was Xuanji's fault." I sneered and said, "It's not right for you to say that, how can Brother Nian kill someone for this little thing, you also underestimate Brother Nian's belly."
He smiled and said: "Yes, what a character Dingguo Gong is, how can he have such a childlike attitude, the mystery is abrupt." I looked at his expression carefully, but I didn't find anything unusual, so I asked, "Why don't you ask about the queen mother?"
He said, "The Queen? It's unfortunate. However, Empress Wei's power leaned towards the government and the opposition, except that she did not ascend the throne, she has almost been the empress in recent years. What he said and what I wanted to hear were completely different things, but I couldn't ask him directly, so I had to continue to detour: "But my father doesn't like my mother."
Yu Xuanji smiled and said, "It seems that the princess still thinks that her husband's favor is more important than being an empress." I said, "I never thought of being an empress, but others are always persuading me." I glared at him suspiciously, "It seems that you used to say these things to me as soon as you saw me, and if you hadn't advised me, I wouldn't have even had the slightest hint of such a heart." “
Yu Xuanji smiled bitterly and did not make a sound. After a while, he said, "Is it because of this that Guogong wants to kill me?" I do what I want to do, and I have a clear conscience. “
