The one hundred and twenty-eighth palm: leaving the palace
After Shen Hao returned to Yiqian Palace, she really asked Emperor Liang Yinhao to accompany Liang Xi to leave the palace together. At first, Liang Yinhao did not agree, but under the persuasion of the queen and Concubine Chen, Liang Yinhao finally changed his attention and agreed to Shen Hao's request.
And the Queen Mother was arranged by the queen to go to Lin Yin Temple on the outskirts of Beijing, and it will take several days to come back, so the Queen Mother has no idea that Shen Zhen and Liang Xi are about to leave the palace, and I am afraid that when the Queen Mother returns to Beijing, the raw rice will be cooked into cooked rice, which will be irretrievable. As for the other princes and ministers, there was no objection to this matter, after all, this was the emperor's family matter, and the plague was related to the lives of millions of people, and no one dared to take risks.
So on the fifth day after the decree was issued, Shen Zhen left the queen with her unconscious son. Since it was a seriously ill prince leaving the palace, it was not a decent thing, so the carriage could not go through the southeast main gate, and could only choose the more secluded southwest side. When Shen Zhen and Liang Xi left, they only brought three or three palace maids and eunuchs, and there was no one to see them off, and Liang Yinhao didn't even look at them, the scene was not bleak.
At the end of the hour, with a sense of gloom in the cool wind, the carriage traveled to the gate of the palace, Shen Zhen suddenly lifted the curtain, and before the palace gate closed, he looked back at the buildings and pavilions like mountains stacked on top of each other, but there was no reluctance to be nostalgic in his heart.
Shen Zhen looked at her son, who was still asleep, the boy's originally round little face had become a lot thinner, but his face was very peaceful and peaceful, as if he was immersed in a sweet dream. Shen Zhen gently stroked her son's pale face, and suddenly felt very satisfied in her heart, as if only she and her son were left between heaven and earth. Shen Zhen thought to herself: If Liang Xi really can't survive in the end, then she must be with her life and death. Thinking of this, Shen Zhen felt that she was not afraid of anything at the moment, and she was relieved that she had never been there.
Unconsciously the carriage traveled for more than an hour, Shen Hao gradually felt very tired, and her eyelids drooped uncontrollably, and finally she couldn't resist the invasion of darkness, Shen Hao fell asleep beside Liang Xi.
Shen Zhen always felt that someone was calling her softly in her sleep, but she was so tired that her eyelids didn't seem to listen to her at all, and she couldn't open them. When she finally woke up, she found that a soft little hand was stroking back and forth on her face, and she opened her eyes, and what greeted her was Liang Xi's dazed and panicked little face. When Shen Zhen saw that her son had woken up, she immediately felt sleepy, she straightened up and checked carefully.
Liang Xi is not only sane now, but even the heat has subsided, and he has miraculously recovered. Shen Zhen cried with joy, hugged Liang Xi and cried for a long time, and her mood couldn't be calm for a long time after the ups and downs. After Shen Zhen had cried enough, she suddenly realized that the little palace maid who was originally in the carriage was gone, and the people driving outside turned out to be two men she didn't know at all. Shen Hao shouted in shock, "Who are you?" This is not the direction of going to the other courtyard at all, where do you want to take us?! ”
The man still drove the carriage as if nothing had happened, turned his head and comforted: "Niangniang, don't be impatient, you will be here in a while." We will never hurt the mother and the son, please be relieved. ”
Shen Zhen secretly calculated in her heart: in front of him were two tall men, and he was a weak woman with a child who was recovering from a serious illness, and it was impossible to confront these two men. And the carriage was driving extremely fast, and she couldn't jump out of the car with Liang Xi, so she had to sit back in her seat, hugging her son tightly and not speaking again.
The carriage then proceeded at a brisk pace for another hour, and finally came to a stop in a clearing on the outskirts of Beijing. Shen Zhen got up to check, this place is surrounded by green mountains, sparsely populated, and should be at the junction of the capital boundary. One of the men driving the carriage said respectfully: "Niangniang, please get out of the car, our master and you have something to say again!" ”
"Your master?" Shen Zhen looked at each other in surprise, her eyes full of defense, "Who is your master?" ”
The man's tone was extremely tight, and he raised his hand to signal: "Niangniang will naturally know when she sees it, please!" ”
Shen Hao knew that she couldn't escape at this moment, so she could only take her son and get out of the carriage together. After getting out of the car, Shen Zhen saw a man in white standing in the pavilion not far away, and his clothes were fluttering and not chic. After seeing her and Liang Xi, the man also showed a modest and polite smile, leaned over and saluted, "I've seen Niangniang." ”
Shen Hao looked the strange man up and down and asked, "Who are you?" Why did you bring us here? ”
Qiu Feng didn't think much of the other party's cold tone, and still said with a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze: "Under Qiu Feng, he is the leader of the Lingshan Gang. The reason why I brought my mother and my son here is to help you escape from the sight of the palace people and gain real freedom from now on. ”
The more Shen Zhen listened, the more she didn't understand, and asked, "Real freedom?!" What the hell are you talking about?! ”
Qiu Fengjian's eyebrows raised slightly, but he was not in a hurry to answer Shen Hao's question, but turned his head to look at Liang Xi beside Shen Hao. Qiu Feng smiled and asked, "Childe's should be fine, right?" ”
Shen Zhen instinctively protected her child and asked vigilantly, "How do you know that Xi'er's illness has been cured?" ”
Qiu Feng smiled proudly and patiently explained, "Of course I know. Because Childe, he didn't get the epidemic at all, but took the special recipe of my Lingshan Gang!" Qiu Feng paused in the middle of speaking, and his eyes casually glanced at Liang Xi, reminding Shen Zhen that his next words were not suitable for Liang Xi to hear.
Shen Zhen immediately understood the deep meaning in the other party's eyes, so she squatted down and coaxed: "Xi'er, you go to the carriage and wait for the concubine first, the concubine and this uncle have something to discuss." ”
Liang Xi was very obedient, and without saying a word, he turned around and walked in the direction of the carriage. At this time, Qiu Feng spoke again: "This medicine is not harmful to the human body, but the superficial illness looks very much like an epidemic, which will make people unconscious, accompanied by a constant low-grade fever. But once you take the antidote from my Lingshan Gang, you will wake up immediately. ”
Shen Zhen was shocked and said in disbelief, "Are you saying that Xi'er is not sick?" A qiē are all your hands and feet? ”
"Exactly! Although it made Gongzi suffer a little and made Niangniang have a false alarm, the result is good in the end, and you can finally leave the palace justifiably and regain your freedom. ”
Shen Zhen still couldn't recover from this horrific incident, her lips trembled, and she said, "No, it's impossible!" I don't know you at all, your Lingshan Gang is just a gang, and it has nothing to do with my mother and son, why do you go to such great lengths to help my mother and son? Who the hell are you?!
