232 Parting (2)
Just when everyone in the Xiangxue Hall was reluctant to give up on Qu Wurong, a little eunuch suddenly came outside the door, saying that the auspicious time had arrived, and the welcoming team of Bailiao Kingdom was waiting outside the palace gate, urging Qu Wurong to set off quickly.
Qu Wurong was slightly stunned when she heard this, but she quickly came back to her senses, carefully handed the little guy in her arms back to the nurse, and glanced at it very reluctantly, and then walked towards the outside of the Xiangxue Hall with a resolute expression.
Seeing this, a few girls hurriedly picked up the luggage that had been packed up and chased after them, and the nurse also followed closely with the little guy, and the group went out of the Xiangxue Palace, only to find that in addition to the chariot that sent Qu Wurong out of the palace, there was also a team of neatly dressed Imperial Forest Army waiting aside, and the leader was Xu Ke.
Seeing them come out, Xu Ke led everyone to bow to Qu Wurong, "See the noble concubine!" ”
"Get up." Qu Wurong waved his hand and looked at Xu Ke in front of him with a puzzled gaze, "Commander Xu, why are you here?" ”
As the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Xu Ke is usually responsible for the security of the entire palace, which can be described as a busy man, why did he suddenly appear outside this Xiangxue Palace today? And on such a day?
Hearing her ask, Xu Ke stepped forward and replied: "It's a long way to go to Bailiao Kingdom, and the emperor is not worried about Niangniang's safety, so he specially ordered his subordinates to give Guifei Niangniang a ride." ”
Emperor? Qu Wurong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and when he came back to his senses, an indescribable feeling suddenly surged in his heart. After she told Shen Wu'an the truth yesterday, it could be seen from his reaction that he didn't care about her true identity at all, otherwise he wouldn't have let himself touch her after his hand was injured.
But even so, he still remembered her safety, and asked Xu Ke, who was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, to send him off in person, which made Qu Wurong couldn't help but have a sour nose.
"But you're leaving, ...... in this palace"
Before she could finish her words, Xu Ke replied thoughtfully: "Don't worry, concubine, Gongsun Gongzi has transferred a lot of manpower from the Soul Breaking Building a few days ago, and the safety of the palace will not be affected in the slightest." ”
Hearing him say this, Qu Wurong stopped asking, "Then there is Lao Xu in charge!" ”
"The concubine is polite!" Xu Ke bowed slightly, then took a step back, revealing the chariot that had been prepared behind him, "The auspicious time has come, please get in the car." ”
Qu Wurong nodded, and before boarding the car, she looked back at the people behind her, only to see that several girls were already touching their tears, and after she looked around, she walked to the nurse's side, Xiao Shenli was still asleep in the nurse's arms, and she didn't have the slightest feeling for the upcoming mother-son parting.
Looking at the little guy who was sleeping with red cheeks, Qu Wurong couldn't help but lower his head and kissed his tender little face gently, afraid that she would be ruthless to leave after waking up her son, she didn't dare to make any other moves, stared at the little guy's sleeping face for a while, and then forced down the reluctance in her heart, turned around and walked towards the chariot.
At the moment when she boarded the chariot with the support of the little eunuch, Xiao Shen Li, who was sleeping sweetly in the nurse's arms, moved her body uneasily, and the nurse saw this and hurriedly freed out a hand to coax, but unfortunately it didn't have any effect, the little guy didn't even open his eyes and cried with a small voice.
Qu Wurong, who had just gotten into the car, heard the cry, and her first reaction was to get out of the car to coax her son, but just when she took a step, she stopped abruptly, forced the impulse in her heart to sit back down, and lightly instructed Xu Ke outside the window: "Let's go." ”
Xu Ke naturally heard the cry of the little prince, and he hesitated a little when he heard her instructions at this time, but after thinking about it, the separation of their mother and son has become a foregone conclusion, and no matter how reluctant they are, it is impossible to change this fact, as the saying goes, a long pain is better than a short pain, rather than a moment of soft-heartedness, it is better to cut through the mess quickly, and it is more enjoyable!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and waved his hand to everyone, "Let's go!" ”
"Miss ......" watched the convoy slowly move forward after his order, Jin Yu and Liangyuan could no longer hold back the grief in their hearts, and wanted to catch up but were stopped by Yangchun and Bai Xue.
Xiao Shenli's cry was still ringing in everyone's ears, no matter how the nurse shot and coaxed, she couldn't let him stop, and a few girls who were immersed in the sadness of parting couldn't care about the grief in their hearts when they saw this, and they joined the ranks of coaxing the little guy.
The chariot slowly drove out of the palace, the welcoming team of Bailiao Country had been waiting for a long time, and when they came out, Xiao Nansheng, who was sitting in the carriage, glanced at his personal guard, Xu Tianming nodded knowingly, drove to Xu Ke's side, and the two of them had a brief conversation, and then Xu Tianming returned to the carriage and whispered something to Xiao Nansheng.
After listening to his words, Xiao Nansheng nodded slightly, "Then let's go." ”
After receiving the order, Xu Tianming made a gesture to everyone, and then the team like a long dragon began to move, slowly heading towards the outside of Tiandu City.
Qu Wurong sat in the chariot in a daze, and even the voices and discussions of the people outside couldn't really be heard, only her son's cry still echoed clearly in her ears, she raised her hand and pressed her chest gently, where she didn't feel any pain, as if she had been hollowed out alive.
Although the convoy was not moving fast, it was still moving forward in the distance, and no one noticed that on the top of the Star Picking Pavilion at the highest point of the palace, Shen Wu'an was standing there with his hands in his hands, a bright yellow dragon robe was blown by the wind, and there was no expression on his handsome face, only a pair of black eyes against the convoy that was gradually moving away in the distance, and he didn't move for a while.
I don't know how long it took, until he could no longer see the shadow of the convoy, Shen Wu'an slowly retracted his gaze, jumped down from the top of the Star Picking Pavilion, and was so frightened that Xiao Shunzi, who was guarding below, almost didn't exclaim, until he saw him fall to the ground steadily, Xiao Shunzi's heart returned to its original position.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly trotted forward and asked.
Shen Wu'an didn't answer him, lowered his head and patted the clothes on his body, raised his feet and walked outside, Xiao Shunzi hurriedly chased after him when he saw this.
Out of the Star Picking Pavilion, Xiao Shunzi found that his master was walking in the direction of the Xiangxue Palace, and he couldn't help but wonder: just now he said that he didn't want to go to see the last side of the concubine, and now everyone has already left, why does he remember to go again?
As soon as Shen Wu'an walked to the door of the Xiangxue Palace, he heard a heart-rending cry coming from inside, and he knew who was crying as soon as he heard it, he was shocked, and his steps couldn't help but speed up.
"Little Ancestor, don't you cry anymore, okay?" In the main hall, a few girls surrounded Xiao Shen Li, who was crying bitterly, they had exhausted all kinds of methods just now, so they almost knelt down and begged the little guy not to cry, but the little guy didn't give them any face, and cried non-stop with his little throat, and several of them were almost distressed to death!
"Your Majesty, it's great that you're here!" The sharp-eyed Jin Yu was the first to see Shen Wu'an coming in the door, and hurriedly trotted forward to ask for help, "The little prince has been crying non-stop since just now, and we have been coaxing for a long time, but it is useless, what should I do if I cry like this again?" ”
I don't know if I was infected by the little guy's sad love, or because of his crying behavior, I was so anxious that there was really no way, when Jin Yu said this, he couldn't help but bring a trace of crying.
Shen Wu'an frowned slightly, and walked towards Xiao Shen Li, who was held in Bai Xue's arms, "Give me the child." ”
Hearing his words, Bai Xue, who had been out of line for a long time, did not hesitate, and carefully handed the little guy in his arms to him, and said: "The little prince has been crying for so long, and he may have a fever later, so the slave maid thinks it is better to ask the old lady Liu to come over and take a look." ”
"Go ahead." Shen Wu'an took his son and commanded lightly.
Bai Xue got his consent, so she hurriedly went to the Tai Hospital to ask Mrs. Liu, and the other three girls were still not very relieved and distressed Xiao Shen Li, and they all consciously stayed, thinking that if even Shen Wu'an couldn't coax the little guy, they would take over and continue to coax.
Although the relationship between Shen Wu'an and Qu Wurong has been up and down in the past month, even if the two of them have an awkward relationship, he will still come to visit Xiao Shen Li every day, so the little guy is no stranger to his arms at all, and at this time he feels his familiar atmosphere, the little guy even forgot to cry, looked at him with a pair of moist big eyes, and hiccuped because he had been crying for too long.
Seeing that he finally stopped crying, Shen Wuan gently wiped away the tears on his cheeks with his hand, and sure enough, he found that the little face touched by his fingertips was slightly hot, and he lowered his head and tried it with his forehead, confirming that the little guy's body temperature was indeed a little high, and he knew that what Bai Xue was worried about just now had happened.
Fortunately, Bai Xue had the foresight to invite Mrs. Liu to come over in time, and after carefully examining the little guy's body, Mrs. Liu touched her beard and said: "The emperor doesn't have to worry too much, most children will have such symptoms if they cry for a long time, Weichen prescribes some medicine for the little prince to take, and the fever will soon subside." ”
Shen Wu'an let out a "hmm" when he heard this, indicating that he knew.
Seeing that Mrs. Liu prescribed medicine, Bai Xue sent him back to the Tai Hospital again, and grabbed the medicine by the way.
After she grabbed the medicine and came back, a few girls quickly boiled the medicine with their hands and feet, and fed the little guy to drink, until the temperature on the little guy's body slowly returned to normal, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at his son, who had been crying for a while just now because of the medicine, and finally couldn't fall asleep at this time, Shen Wu'an thought about it and then instructed a few girls: "A few of you go and pack up your things, and move to the Qinzheng Hall with Li'er, I will take him personally from today on." ”
Hearing his words, several girls were stunned for a moment, but soon understood why he made such a decision, so they didn't say anything, and went back to pack their things by themselves.
Shen Wu'an was still holding his sleeping son in his arms, and the little guy was reluctant to leave his arms just now, even if he was crying tired and asleep, a little hand still tightly grasped the placket on his chest, so that a few girls wanted to carry him to the bed to sleep.
Looking down at the son in his arms, Shen Wuan couldn't help but hold his little fist with his hand, and from then on, only their father and son were left to rely on each other.
