Chapter 309: Mixed Blessings
Chapter 309
Liu Ke was stunned for a while before he reacted, and then asked without widening his eyes and disbelief: "Letter from the northwest?" β
Huaixiang had never seen Liu Ke like this, and said a little overwhelmed: "Yes, that's what Brother Shi Bin said." β
Liu Ke covered the corners of his eyes with both hands, and hurriedly helped Huai Xiang's collection to walk out.
"Slow down the princess, you are a man of two bodies." Huaixiang held Liu Ke's hand, feeling that she was walking like a fly, and she couldn't keep up, so she reminded her.
At this time, Rong Ming also reacted and came up and said, "This princess will accompany you." β
Liu Ke stopped abruptly and said to Rong Ming: "Princess Laofu is here later, I will come to fetch it, if there is news from my father and brother, I will come back and tell the princess in a while." β
Rong Ming was eager to know the news of Liu Feng, but Liu Ke didn't let her follow, how could she not be in a hurry, and said: "I won't hinder you, hurry up, hurry up, it's time to delay, go and see what letter is coming from the northwest." β
Liu Ke still didn't move forward, and said patiently: "Princess, this great monk doesn't like to see people he doesn't know, I'm afraid that after the princess goes, he will no longer be willing to be my messenger in the future, so I hope the princess will forgive me." β
Even if Rong Ming didn't have the heart anymore, she could hear that Liu Ke deliberately made up a reason to prevaricate her, in order not to let her go with her.
She pouted and said, "You didn't treat me as a friend." β
Rong Ming was angry in her heart, but she wanted to know the news of Liu Feng, so she had to turn around and walk back to Liu Ke's bedroom.
Liu Ke watched Rong Ming enter the door, then hurriedly lifted her skirt and walked out quickly.
As soon as he entered the door of the living room, he saw Yan Jie with his back facing inward, looking at the words on the wall.
Hearing footsteps behind him, he hurriedly turned around and saluted Liu Ke with a smile: "Amitabha." Lord Liu Shi was overjoyed, and the northwest sent a letter. β
As he spoke, he put a letter that had not yet been opened in Liu Ke's hand.
"Is it a letter from my brother?" Liu Ke asked happily while opening the letter.
Seeing this, Yanjie smiled and said: "It should be, when the poor monk returned, he once agreed with the brother of Lord Liu that if the poor monk had news of Lord Liu, he would send the letter directlyββ"
As he said this, he stopped abruptly and looked out the window.
Liu Ke followed Yan Jie's gaze and looked over. I saw a figure looming outside the window. couldn't help but shake her head, it must be Rong Ming who was unwilling to wait in the backyard and ran here to eavesdrop.
Liu Ke said to Huaixiang: "You go and prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." I want to reply. β
Huaixiang went down in response.
After a short time, Huaixiang took the four treasures of the study from the study and returned to the living room.
"You go outside the door and keep watch, don't let the idlers and others get close to the living room." Liu Ke instructed Huai Xiangdao.
When Huai Xiang went out just now, she saw a figure hurriedly turning from the corner of the house, and just by looking at the look of her clothes, she knew that it was the lord of Rong Ming.
At this time, after listening to Liu Ke's instructions. So he smiled and went out to guard.
"Master, write down the unfinished words on paper." Liu Ke said with a smile.
Yan Jie listened to this, and put pen to paper on how to contact Liu Feng. How to exchange messages was written on paper.
After Liu Feng settled down in Liangzhou, when people were not paying attention, he would go to the post house in Liangzhou to see if there was any letter from Yanjie.
They agreed when they parted. As long as Yanjie had news of Liu Ke, he sent the letter to the Liangzhou Post House.
Liangzhou is their destination, no matter where they are. The location of the Liangzhou Post House will not change, so they set the destination of the letter in the Liangzhou Post House.
After Yan Jie met Liu Ke. He wrote a letter and sent it to the Liangzhou Post House, describing the current situation in the capital and Liu Ke's situation in detail.
After Liu Feng received the letter from Yanjie, he knew that Liu Ke was not in danger now, and he was still living in the Chu Palace, a hanging letter was finally put down, he always knew that Liu Ke would not let him down, no matter what the harsh environment was, she could also fight for a chance for herself.
On the contrary, he felt that Rong Yi's situation was a little worrying now, and now Liu Ke was not suitable to come to Liangzhou, but it was safer in the capital.
So he wrote a letter to Liu Ke, writing about Rong Yi's current situation in Liangzhou.
After reading the letter, Liu Ke was in a turbulent and apprehensive mood.
But the capital is thousands of miles away from Liangzhou, even if she starts from now on, it will take a month to get to Liangzhou, and now she is six months pregnant, even if she can stand it, will the child in her belly agree?
Besides, now that the weather is getting colder, the farther north she goes, the colder it gets, can her body withstand the cold of the northwest frontier?
Now that she knows that Rong Yi is safe and sound, she can't let the child in her belly be in the slightest danger.
After reading it, Liu Ke carefully looked at the letter in his hand on both sides, and after making sure that he had memorized everything in it, he threw the letter and the envelope into the brazier.
Yan Jie had been standing quietly on the sidelines and watching Liu Ke, waiting for her reaction.
Liu Ke bowed and said, "Thank you master for bringing me my brother's news, and I will send it to you after I write a reply." β
She didn't ask how to contact Liu Feng, although now that the previous dynasty has overturned and the Liu family has also been amnestied, Liu Feng will no longer be in any danger, but Rong Yi's situation is unknown, and she doesn't want to talk about Rong Yi's situation exposed.
When Rong Shuo has no news of Rong Yi, he can calmly accept the Queen Mother's arrangement, but if he knows that Rong Yi is still alive, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be unfavorable to Rong Yi.
Liu Ke didn't want to take this risk.
Yan Jie smiled, knowing that Liu Ke might be afraid that Liu Feng's letter sent to the Chu Palace's mansion might be intercepted, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry." β
As he spoke, he threw the piece of paper he had just written into the brazier.
"The poor monk has taken his leave." Yan Jie performed a Buddhist ritual towards Liu Ke.
Liu Ke turned around and sent Yan Jie out.
Huai Xiang, who was standing at the door, hurriedly helped Liu Ke towards the gate.
After sending Yan Ring away, when Liu Ke turned to come back, he saw Rong Ming pouting and standing not far away looking at her.
Huai Xiang said with a smile: "Princess, just now the princess kept thinking about eavesdropping at the door, but she saw the slave and maid standing at the door several times, so she gave up." β
They said. Arrived at Rong Ming's side.
Rong Ming glared at Huai Xiang and said, "Do you think I didn't hear you when you stood at the door?" Even if I stand more than a dozen feet away, I can hear the movement in the room clearly. β
Huaixiang said in surprise: "The princess is so powerful, the slave and maid stood at the door and didn't hear it, so what did you hear?" β
Rong Ming looked at Liu Ke angrily and said, "They didn't say anything about the occasional reading, they just read the letter." β
Huaixiang couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard this, "That's what you didn't hear?" β
"I hear you!" Rong Ming said loudly, "I just heard it." β
Liu Ke saw that Rong Ming was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "She heard it right." We just didn't say anything. Just read the letter, doesn't the princess want to know how my brother is now? β
Rong Ming had long wanted to know what was written in the letter, but Huaixiang was there. She still couldn't ask.
"Whoever wants to know about him, I'm just curious, I'm concerned about you, this guy went to the northwest. Let you be here alone, and there will be no two supporters. After saying this. She was afraid that Liu Ke would really not tell her Liu Feng's news, so she hurriedly said, "Tell me where he is?" How about now? Let him come back quickly if he's okay, is it good outside? β
Rong Ming used to worry about Liu Feng, but there has been no news of him. just knew that he escaped from the tiger's mouth with the help of Liu Ke, thinking that from now on, he might never see him again. The hope in her heart was dim a little, and her heart seemed to slowly fall silent. Today suddenly had news of him, she somehow suddenly felt sad in her heart, and after she finished speaking, her eyes turned red.
Liu Ke had only been in close contact with Liu Feng before, and he didn't know how his relationship had developed.
Now seeing Rong Ming's tears in her eyes, she can't help but be happy for Liu Feng, Rong Ming really takes Liu Feng to heart.
Liu Ke patted Rong Ming's shoulder and said to Rong Ming: "Go to my room and talk, watch the girl laugh at it." β
Rong Ming also realized that she had lost her temper, and hurriedly turned around to collect the tears in her eyes.
followed Liu Ke to the backyard.
After entering Liu Ke's Red Tassel Garden, Liu Ke smiled and said, "Do you want to write a letter to your brother?" Put it with mine and have someone send it out? β
After Rong Ming heard this, a trace of surprise flashed on her face, and she immediately said, "Can I?" β
Liu Ke smiled, "Brother, there are still some things to deal with in Wuyuan County now, and I can't come back immediately, if you miss her, write him a letter, maybe he is thinking about you too." β
"Did he mention in the letter that I didn't?" Rong Ming asked with a red face.
Liu Ke smiled: "He didn't know that you would call me such a close friend, how could he mention you." β
Rong Ming smiled embarrassedly, "yes, then what did he say?" He's okay living over there, he won't be short of food and clothing, right? Speaking of these, Rong Ming found that she was becoming more and more worried.
Liu Ke shook his head and said: "I don't know, my brother didn't mention this, he just told me that everyone was very good, let me rest assured, and didn't even mention where they settled, I think he is an adult, he will definitely be able to take care of himself, you can rest assured." β
She was afraid that Rong Ming would ask her something again, so she said: "You hurry up and go back and think about what to write for him, don't ink here anymore, after you write it, you will order someone to send it, and I will send it to you." β
"Can't you tell me where you're going to send the letter?" Rong Ming didn't know why Liu Ke kept avoiding telling where Liu Feng was staying, but she didn't give up, but she still asked.
Liu Ke shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's true, for his safety, please don't tell anyone about this matter, including your imperial brother, okay?" β
Rong Ming didn't understand, and sighed: "My brother has already granted amnesty to the Liu family, how can it be unfavorable to your brother, maybe I know that your brother is still alive, and it is not necessary that he will be given an official position." β
"Please, if you agree to this, I can be the matchmaker for the two of you, otherwise don't blame me for telling your brother about those troubles." Liu Ke said seriously.
Rong Ming stood up and walked to Liu Ke, raised her hand and wanted to hit her, but after looking at her bulging belly, she just pointed at her with her finger and said, "You can do it, it's really insidious, are you threatening me?" Are we friends or not? β
"Of course it's a friend, if it's not a friend, can you run to me every day? It's because I'm friends that I'm going to threaten you like this, otherwise you're a princess, how could I say this, just do it. Liu Ke said this as a matter of course.
Rong Ming thought about it, it was the same thing, but she was still unhappy in her heart, and said indignantly: "Why did this princess make such a friend as you?" Okay, forget it, don't say it, what's there, but remember what you say. β
Liu Ke lowered his head and smiled: "Okay, I know, when the time is ripe, I will definitely be the matchmaker for the two of you, it would be great if we could become sisters-in-law, I feel desirable when I think about it." β
After Rong Ming listened to Liu Ke's words, she suddenly felt a hot face, "What sister-in-law, who is impatient to have a sister-in-law like you, I'm leaving, I'll send you a letter tomorrow, don't lose your word." β
With that, he turned and walked out the door.
Liu Ke got up to send it off, Rong Ming was almost out of the yard, turned around and smiled: "Rest, don't send it." β
After Rong Ming left, Huai Xiang smiled and said to Liu Ke: "Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess, finally have news of your mother's family." β
Liu Ke smiled faintly on her face, thinking back to the content of the letter, it seemed to be a mixed blessing, but in fact, Rong Yi's situation was very dangerous, how could she not worry.
Liu Feng told Liu Ke everything he knew.
Now Rong Yi doesn't seem to know that she is still in the capital.
Is there any hint that Liu Feng told her?
Huai Xiang saw that Liu Ke's face was gloomy, so she said tentatively: "Is the princess worried that the princess will tell the emperor about this?" β
Liu Ke shook his head and said, "Rong Ming shouldn't go to tell the emperor about this, but she may go to the great monk." β
Huaixiang listened to it with a sudden expression.
****************************************************************
As Liu Ke expected, after Rong Ming left the Chu Palace, he walked towards the outside of the city.
Rong Ming didn't expect Liu Ke to really not tell her where Liu Feng was, but fortunately she kept a hand.
When he was in Boling before, Rong Shuo had a close relationship with Yanjie, and Rong Ming had also been to Dajue Temple in Boling, so he was very familiar with Yanjie.
She didn't believe it, so she searched the Temple of Mercy and Grace and couldn't find the precepts.
When he found Yan Jie, he naturally knew where he would send the letter.
As soon as Rong Ming thought that she would soon know where Liu Feng was, she couldn't help but feel a little surging in her heart, as if she was about to jump out.
When she arrived at the gate of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, she tied her horse and walked in. (To be continued)
