Chapter 3: Meeting at the Palace
The girl thought about it so carefully, her heart was like a drumstick, she instinctively reached out to cover her chest, bowed her head shyly, didn't dare to look at him again, and whispered: "This son, I disturbed you today, and I hope you can Haihan!" Rest assured, we won't hurt you. It's just the same, you have to swear to heaven about today's events, and you will not spread it! ”
The young man had an epiphany, hurriedly raised his eyes to look at everyone, and saw that Chen Deyong was staring at him with an angry face, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, bowed his hand, and said loudly to the girl: "This girl...... Princess, I swear to the heavens, 'Today's events will not be spread out, otherwise you will be hit by five thunders from the sky, and you will not die well!' 'Just ......'"
"Just what?" The girl saw that he was long, a head taller than herself, a pair of big eyes and affectionate, staring at herself, her heart was beating inexplicably, and then she heard his sonorous voice, which was soothing people's hearts and lungs, and she was shaking her mind, and suddenly heard him so hesitant, and she didn't feel that her heart trembled, and she hurriedly asked.
The young man looked at her with a pair of big eyes, and when he saw that the concern in her eyes was overflowing, his heart jumped suddenly, and he also lowered his head, not daring to look at her again, and said in a low voice: "It's just that I vaguely heard the name of Liu Wen, the prefect of Youzhou." There is a request for death, if the princess has the power of life and death, I hope to be able to investigate carefully, don't make a rash assertion, and wronged a good person! ”
With that, he bent down and bowed deeply.
The girl pondered for a moment when she heard this, nodded and said, "Don't worry, although I have no power in my hands, I think that I will not do anything to kill innocents in my current life!" Take care! ”
After speaking, she took a deep look at the young man, turned around and slowly walked back to the sedan chair, and whispered to the people who were still looking at her dumbfounded: "Quickly clean up this place, and we will leave immediately!" ”
After saying this, she stepped into the sedan chair and said no more.
Chen Deyong hurriedly waved his hand at the people who were still standing, seeing that He Yong was still looking at this place like a wooden plastic, he was angry in his heart, and shouted: "He Yong, what are you in a daze?" Don't hurry up yet! ”
He Yong woke up at this time, reluctantly arched his hand at the young man who was standing in place and pondering, and said happily: "This son-in-law, it seems that we are really fateful!" It's just a farewell, and the meeting will be indefinite! Please take care! ”
The young man returned the salute and said with a smile: "There is a fate to meet." Take care! ”
When he had said this, he turned on his horse, and with all his feet, he galloped past.
On the avenue, after a burst of dust, the sound of horses' hooves that everyone could only hear gradually faded away, and gradually there was no sound.
He Yong and the others quickly moved to drag many dead bodies on the ground into the deep forest on the side of the road, dug a pit on the spot to bury them, and marked them.
It's just that in the blink of an eye, the avenue that was still bloody just now has returned to its original state, and in the dark night, there is no longer half of life.
The girl sat in the sedan chair, but her heart was difficult to be as stable as before, her mind was full of the big eyes of the young man who seemed to want to speak, and her heart was inexplicably beating with joy, she couldn't help frowning, stretched out her hand to hold her chest, and secretly wondered: "What's wrong with me?" It's just a one-sided relationship, why do I miss him so much? Could it be that this is the so-called love at first sight? ”
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn pale with shock.
On the second day, when the sky was slightly bright, the Binzhou prefect who had received the secret order had already led his men and horses to greet him on the official road.
The vast team of hundreds of people no longer hesitated for a moment, rushing day and night, but in a hurry, this group of people had arrived at the land of the capital division.
He Yong saw the city gate open from a distance, and Yang Wenguang, the governor of Beijing, received a secret report that he had led the Praetorian Guards in Beijing to wait here for a long time.
That Yang Wenguang stood solemnly in front of hundreds of heavily armed sergeants, heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, looked up, and saw a team of people and horses coming from a distance, and there were many people guarding the front and back, and he also faintly saw the Binzhou prefect riding a horse and following closely, and a heart hanging tightly, which was finally slowly put down.
When the group entered the city, they did not stop, and went straight to the palace.
The girl slowly got off the sedan chair, but ignored Chen Deyong, who had already bowed down and stood quietly, but slowly walked to the third sedan chair and called in a low voice: "Mother, we have arrived." ”
The soft curtain was lifted, and a person slowly walked out of the sedan chair, but it was a beautiful woman in her thirties, looking nervously at the girl in front of her, frowning, and wanting to follow the sound to ask, but then saw Chen Deyong, who was pale, unconsciously turned his face away, nodded slightly, and did not say a word.
The girl stepped forward to hold her mother, cautiously, followed the eunuchs in the palace all the way, passed through the palace gates, turned around, and did not know how long she walked, and finally came to a palace gate with a magnificent temple.
The girl and the woman instinctively looked up, only to see a gilded plaque hanging high in the main hall, which read "Xuanzheng Palace", the two looked at each other, and heard the eunuch whisper a few words to the guards, and turned around and whispered to them: "Long live the Lord has been waiting for the two masters for a long time!" Lord Jing, please come in too! ”
The two looked at each other again, and then followed the eunuch inside.
Chen Deyong's eyes were firmly fixed on the back of the slow woman in front of him, and thoughtfully, he also stepped in.
Emperor Xuanwu sat on the dragon chair, coughing from time to time, and there was a trace of blood on the handkerchief in his hand.
He stared nervously at the few people who came in slowly, and when he saw the woman who was being supported by the girl, his heart was like a heavy hammer, and he wanted to get up excitedly, but suddenly a sharp pain came from his chest, and he couldn't help coughing and coughing loudly.
When the woman entered the hall, she kept her head down, and suddenly heard a painful cough, instinctively looked up, and saw the Xuanwu Emperor on the dragon chair, with a sallow face, and those eyes full of tenderness were already dripping with tears.
She was stunned, her heart ached, she stood still, hung her head and stood still, but she didn't speak.
The girl next to her seemed to feel the pain of her mother beside her, and her hands tightened tighter, but she didn't look at the Xuanwu Emperor, just looked at her mother nervously.
Seeing this, Chen Deyong actually slipped a trace of happiness in his heart, raised his eyes and saw that the Xuanwu Emperor was already rippling with tears, and after a moment of silence, he took a step forward, bowed down and said, "Holy Lord, the minister was ordered to bring Feng Yi's mother and daughter to the ...... safely It's just that when I arrived in Youzhou, Liu Wenting, the prefect of Youzhou, couldn't listen to the order, and almost made us intercepted and killed by the gangsters! ”
"What? Tell me about it! ”
When Emperor Xuanwu, who was originally obsessed with Feng Yi, heard this, he immediately became furious, and an abnormal red appeared on his sallow face.
Chen Deyong was not in a hurry, and told the story of yesterday night, but for some reason, the girl on the side also felt that he seemed to have a deep prejudice against that Liu Wenting, and the things he said were true, but between the tone and words, there was a slight bias, thinking of the young man's trust, his heart was shaking, and he frowned slightly.
After Emperor Xuanwu heard what Chen Deyong said, his face was even more angry, and he touched his chest with his hand, and he was even more wheezing and coughing.
"He Liu Wen dared to disobey the holy order, and almost killed the life of the person I loved! It's against him! Come! Kill this person in a hurry! ”
Emperor Xuanwu shouted loudly, and the chief eunuch who was standing aside hurriedly wanted to pass the order.
When the girl heard this, her heart jumped violently, and she didn't care about any etiquette, so she hurriedly let go of the hands that were holding her mother, walked over quickly, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Holy Lord, although this Liu Wenting did not come to escort us for some reason this time, there must be something wrong in the middle, and I hope that the Holy Lord can calm his anger and wait carefully to inquire clearly before making a conclusion!" Don't kill a good minister by mistake! ”
"Oh...... Keep your head up! Emperor Xuanwu was stunned when he heard this, and waved his hand to stop the eunuch who was about to summon him.
The girl hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised her head.
Emperor Xuanwu hurriedly lowered his head to look, and saw that she knelt on the ground, and did not dare to look up at himself completely, just he just paid attention to Feng Yi's every move, and did not look at her carefully.
"Sure enough, she is worthy of being the daughter of me and Yi'er, it is really a beautiful country, and the country is captivating!"
He raised his eyes and quickly looked at the woman who was still standing silent, and a burst of happiness surged in his heart, and his tone was even more gentle: "Since it is my beloved daughter's words, then first escort Liu Wenting's family to the Beijing Division, and then hand over to Dali Temple for careful trial, and then make a decision!" ”
The eunuch beside him hurriedly summoned him.
The girl's heart relaxed slightly, and she paused in a low voice and said, "Holy Saint! ”
Chen Deyong was in a hurry, took a step forward, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Emperor Xuanwu waving his hand: "My Yi'er and my daughter only arrived in Dejing today, I don't want to kill!" Lord Jing, you have escorted all the way, and I will definitely be rewarded in the future, so you go down first, so you can rest for a good life! ”
Even if Chen Deyong was unwilling, he had to bow down and slowly withdraw from the hall, but he turned back frequently, secretly looked at Feng Yi, who had always been silent, and saw that she had been bowing her head and eyes, a trace of bitterness welled up in her heart, she gritted her teeth and walked out quickly.
Emperor Xuanwu struggled to get up, was supported by the two eunuchs beside him, slowly got off the dragon chair, came to the girl's side, stretched out his hand to help her up, and said softly: "Get up quickly!" You...... What is your name? ”
The girl got up slowly, neither humble nor arrogant, glanced sideways at Feng Yi behind her, and saw that her face was pale, thoughtful, and bitter in her heart, so she looked back and replied in a low voice: "My name is Chen Xinrou." ”
Emperor Xuanwu nodded and smiled: "Good name!" Child, you will be the princess of our Dachen Kingdom in the future, I will give you Princess Xinrou! Give your mother as a concubine! Since then, our family has never been separated again! Luckily? ”
Although he said it to Chen Xinrou, his eyes were firmly fixed on Feng Yi, who suddenly raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw that her big eyes were already moist and crystalline, and his heart was beating nonstop, he sighed, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I know that I am inferior to you two mothers and sons...... However, in order to avoid the pursuit of political enemies, I escaped from the palace and came to Jiangnan, so I met Yi'er by chance...... But I am not like ordinary men, as a prince, I shoulder the great cause of the world...... But I can only say goodbye in a hurry, and I have failed you two for the past fifteen years! ”
When Feng Yi heard this, she recalled how she fell in love with him at first sight, how she was in love, how she was secretly pregnant with a pearl fetus, and her heart was very sweet. But then I remembered how he said goodbye overnight, so that he fell into the disgust of his clan parents, lived alone in the suburbs in a panic, gave birth to a beautiful child, and how he pulled Xinrou with hard work......
The past is vivid, the heart is full of hatred, raise your eyes and look at the person again, the handsome young man is no longer there, suddenly he is half a hundred people, at this time he is supported by people to act, it is obvious that he is already riddled with diseases, and it will be time for the lamp to dry up and extinguish.
