Chapter 225: Return to Beijing

The next day was Chinese New Year's Eve, but I went to Zheng Yu's funeral, and at my insistence, I used Zheng Yu's tomb as his surviving person as a monumenter, and I also decided to keep filial piety for him for a year. Since I promised Zheng Yu, although he did not keep his promise, I can't break my promise.

This New Year, the entire General's Mansion was spent in a gloomy fog, and no one had the joy of the New Year. And the emperor's will arrived on the third day of Zheng Yu's funeral, and the emperor didn't want to delay Jiang Yunxiu's marriage. The decree approved Jiang Yunxiu's request, and Jiang Ningyu was appointed as the new general to assist Marshal Du in commanding the defenders of Ancheng. I didn't have much chance to contact Jiang Ningyu, so I had to ask Xiaoliu to talk to him, and the rest of the plan could only rely on Heiyunshi to pass the word. So on the second day after receiving the emperor's decree, that is, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, we set off and went back.

Jiang Yunxiu is about to get married, and I am also a new widow. It's a little too harmonious between us.

Lan Ling and I rode in a carriage, while Jiang Yunxiu rode a horse. If he stayed in the suburbs late at night, he and Xiaoliu would light a fire and sleep outside. Along the way, Jiang Yunxiu took good care of me, but his own health was getting worse and worse. I could hear his muffled cough almost every night, and I forced myself not to listen, to force myself not to care.

But every night when I slept in the carriage, I always felt someone sighing beside me, as if someone was caressing my face and holding my hand. But every time I opened my eyes, I couldn't see anyone, only the sigh in the air, and the residual warmth of my hands. If there is more, it is Jiang Yunxiu's cough from afar...... I don't understand, if there really is anyone. Then it is impossible for Jiang Yunxiu and Xiaoliu not to notice it, is it possible that I have not cleared the remaining poison. And hallucinations?

To rush to the capital before the Lantern Festival, although it is not day and night, but it is also very fast. It's just that there aren't many of us, so it wasn't as time-consuming as when we came, and we finally arrived in the capital the day before the Lantern Festival.

The capital looks no different, it is still peaceful and peaceful on the surface, but from the moment Jiang Yunxiu entered the city, there were guards from the emperor's "black chess battalion" "guarding" along the road. In this case, we parted ways with Jiang Yunxiu when we entered the city, and we didn't even have time to say goodbye.

I went home. Send someone to find Ling Yun and Qin Xixuan. As a result, Xixuan was summoned into the palace by the emperor, and Ling Yun was not in the palace. I originally wanted to ask about the matter in the palace, but I think that it should have caused a lot of turmoil. If not. Xi Xuan and Ling Yun also decided that they would not leave without waiting for me to wake up. I just waited for a long time, but I didn't wait. But I didn't want to wait for other news.

Xiao Liu thought that he didn't find Ling Yun, so he reported the news to me directly. It is said that as soon as King Ling Wu returned to his home, he was assassinated by assassins and was injured. There is no obstacle to his life, but I am afraid that the matter of getting married tomorrow will have to be postponed until the prince's health improves. When I first heard the news, I was very worried, and I repeatedly confirmed that Jiang Yunxiu was only slightly injured and gave up. Then it was a little strange, the first blame was that he obviously had the "guard" of the "black chess battalion". Although it is mainly surveillance, if someone really wants to attack him, it shouldn't be at this time? The second blame is the "guard" of the existing "black chess battalion". Jiang Yunxiu should go to the palace as soon as possible, why did he go back to the palace first?

Although these two questions could not be figured out, but his family affair was finally postponed, I seemed to be a little happy.

The next day of Lantern Festival, Qin Xixuan and Ling Yun still did not come back. I spent the Lantern Festival in the company of Xiaoliu and Lan Ling. But on the third day, I felt that something was wrong, if Qin Xixuan was summoned to the palace by the emperor, it would be impossible to stay in the palace all the time, right? And what about Lingyun?

I asked Lan Ling first, but I saw that she was at a loss, as if she didn't know anything. Then he called Xiao Liu again, and Zhengse asked, "Let me ask you, what happened in Ancheng that day?" How is my poison cured? Where did Qin Xixuan and Ling Yun go? ”

Xiao Liumian had a difficult color, and he didn't answer with a squeak.

I said angrily: "Now this 'Yunshiji' is not in my charge, and you don't have to listen to me anymore, so it's gone, and I don't need your protection." ”

Xiao Liu immediately knelt down and said: "My subordinates are only loyal to Miss in this life, don't say that the 'Purple Eyes' are still in Miss Miss's hands now, even if Miss really leaves 'Yun Shiji' one day, Xiao Liu will only follow Miss, never abandon it, never dare to turn his back, otherwise people and gods will be angry." ”

I saw that he looked serious, and his anger disappeared slightly: "So, what happened in Anseong?" ”

Xiao Liu pondered for a long time before he said: "That day, Master Hong detoxified the young lady, although the poison was detoxified, but it was said that there was still a lack of medicine to completely recover. But this medicine is only in northern Xinjiang, so the leader went to northern Xinjiang to find that medicine. The chief was afraid that the young lady would be worried, so he wouldn't let us tell the young lady ......"

"However, Miss rest assured, Hong Junshi said that the medicine is not difficult to find, and there is no need to go to any very dangerous places, but it takes a certain amount of patience to go to the north peak of the Camel Wool Mountain in Northern Xinjiang, with the current time, there will be a harvest in the rest of the month, so Miss doesn't have to worry." Xiao Liu frowned when he saw me, and explained a lot in a hurry.

Hearing him say this, I was a little relieved, but what about Qin Xixuan? I raised my eyes to look at Xiao Liu, and he immediately continued: "As for Lord Qin, he was really declared into the palace, but he only returned every night, and when he came over, the young lady was already resting." Lord Qin didn't want to disturb him, so he ordered us not to report it to Miss. Lord Qin also specifically said that he could come back early today, and he would come to see Miss as soon as he came back. ”

Although I felt that this explanation was reluctant, I was relieved to know that both of them were fine.

In the evening, Qin Xixuan really came to me, and seeing his tired face, I thought that he was also tired in the past few days. When he saw me, he also gave the same explanation as Xiaoliu.

I wondered: "It's been so long since that incident, why did the emperor keep you in the palace every day?" ”

Qin Xixuan said: "Although more than half a month has passed since that incident, the emperor has always had lingering palpitations. Now his princes don't dare to believe it anymore. Especially the four princes, the emperor was most suspicious of the nine princes, but the nine princes were not in Beijing when this incident happened, so now it is the four princes who are most affected by this matter. Now the emperor has not made an order, but the fourth prince has been sick for a long time. ”

I felt a little sorry, after all, this was the second time I had designed him.

"It's just," Qin Xixuan continued, "How did you get the concubines in the palace to assassinate the emperor?" ”

"Concubine?" I was a little surprised. This matter was agreed between me and the Queen Mother, and I didn't really want the emperor's life, but I just punished some people because of this matter. (To be continued......)
