Chapter 612: Finally to Crescent City
When talking about Empress Dowager Chen, she had only heard Xiangping mention it before, and the reason why Mo Feng wore a mask on his face was because he was disfigured in the past, so he didn't show his true face for fear of frightening others.
But now seeing Ji Lingfeng, who should have died, standing in front of him like this.
remembered that Xiao Jinxuan had broken into the front of the palace in the past and threatened that Mo Feng was Ji Lingfeng.
As a result, it was slandered, and because of this, Zhou Xianrui deposed the concubine and imprisoned her on the grounds of slandering the reputation of the eldest princess.
But now Empress Dowager Chen knows that what Xiao Jinxuan said at the beginning was true, and Ji Lingfeng, the remnant of the Xue family of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was still alive.
Thinking of the grievances and grievances between Xue Yi and Xue Yi, the former abolition, Empress Dowager Chen naturally couldn't tolerate Ji Lingfeng, a chaotic minister and thief.
Immediately, she was going to raise her voice to announce that someone would come in, take down the other party, and kill him immediately.
But seeing Empress Dowager Chen's intentions, Ji Lingfeng was not afraid, but smiled calmly.
"Queen Mother, you and I originally had different positions in this political situation, so we accumulated grudges. But there are no friends in front of interests, let alone eternal enemies. You are afraid that the Royal Prince will kill Xiao Jinxuan, and Ling Feng is in line with the Queen Mother's views and positions on this matter. So instead of killing me, why don't you use my talents and skills to plan for yourself, so it's wise. ”
As Empress Chen walked out of the harem and began to govern and take power, her horizons broadened a lot, and she was not a woman in the deep palace who had no foresight in the past.
So after instinctively angry and surprised, Empress Chen slowly calmed down.
Immediately after that, she didn't call anyone in and immediately arrested Ji Lingfeng, but after staring at the other party for a long time, she said leisurely:
"The mourning family was originally very curious, where did Xiangping find the inner servant, not only knows martial arts but is also good at strategy. It seems that the mourning family has been kept in the dark, and this so-called Mo Feng turned out to be Ji Lingfeng, the first strategist under Prince Tai in the past. Speaking of which, the mourning family can have today's status and power, and you have contributed a lot to its establishment. And for most of the year, you have done your best. In this case, the mourners can spare your life, but you must be used by me from now on. If you have a different heart, the Queen Mother will kill you immediately. ”
Empress Chen's compromise was all expected by Ji Lingfeng, after all, Empress Dowager Chen was born in a small family, and she did not have Empress Xue's strong mother family to rely on.
Therefore, there is no one available around the other party at all, Ji Lingfeng has already helped the other party get a lot of sweetness before, and he firmly believes that Empress Dowager Chen will be reluctant to kill him in order to maintain her status.
And seeing that things are going on as he expected, the next thing will be easier.
After Chen's decree, Ji Lingfeng, the minister who committed a felony in the original rebellion case, became an internal response to endure humiliation and burden, but became a hero who tripped the Xue family.
And although Ji Lingfeng can return to his original appearance, although his identity as an internal servant makes him extremely disgusted, this cannot be changed.
After all, as a eunuch, he has been serving by Xiangping's side for a long time.
If he said that he was a man, I am afraid that if the Empress Dowager Chen does not kill him, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree, and he will be directly executed according to the great crime of filthy palace.
Therefore, Ji Lingfeng, who recovered his identity, was still his governor, and after Zhou Xianyu took Guo Yi out of Beijing, he also led his cronies to follow him and left.
After all, Zhou Xianchen was cowardly in the court situation, and Empress Chen was not afraid of political instability at all.
Now what she is most worried about is whether Zhou Xianyu will meet with Xiao Jinxuan, and if these two get together, she will have to sleep and eat.
Therefore, this time, Empress Chen not only allocated the masters of the Great Interior, but also the leaders of the forbidden army to Ji Lingfeng to take away.
He even gave the other party a holy decree stamped with a jade seal and dragon seal, which could ask the other party to mobilize the forces of the local government for his own use.
Be sure to catch Xiao Jinxuan as much as possible and get rid of Zhou Xianyu, so that Empress Chen feels at peace in her heart.
And this ** man and horse in the Beijing Division, because of Xiao Jinxuan, Zhou Xianyu went straight to Crescent City under Guo Yi's reminder.
As for Ji Lingfeng, who followed behind, he was also very cunning, dividing his elite into three teams.
Although two of them were annihilated and strangled by the Beijing military camp respectively, as well as Su Qi and Bai Chu on the way.
But Ji Lingfeng, who was hidden behind these two teams, successfully avoided the interception outside the Beijing Division.
With his cronies, he still kept up with Zhou Xianyu's footsteps from afar, and he also whipped up his fast horse day and night, and went south.
Regardless of Zhou Xianyu and Ji Lingfeng, how did they rush day and night.
In this way, more than a month later, just talking about Xiao Jinxuan's side, she is now in Crescent City.
Looking at Changping City, which is different from the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the solemn architectural style.
Perhaps because Crescent City is closer to Daliang, and the four seasons here are like spring, and there is no snow falling all year round.
Therefore, the entire Crescent City is a small bridge and flowing water, with a poetic atmosphere.
So much so that this picturesque scenery made Xiao Jinxuan, an overly emotional person, rarely relax and experience the different scenery in the city.
And because there is no infestation from the cold wind and snow here, and it is the first month of the new year, there will be a lot of lantern juggling.
Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan has been following the Qingde Opera Troupe to the south, and as soon as she came to Crescent City in the past few days, she also made a lot of money.
Especially after getting Professor Xiao Jinxuan's tricks and tricks, because no one has demonstrated the novelty, the Qingde juggling team also made a name for itself in Crescent City in one fell swoop.
And Boss Shen is also a good person, and the juggling team has made money, so it stands to reason that he and Xiao Jinxuan learned these little tricks at the beginning, and the conditions have been met.
But now he took out as much as one hundred taels of silver from the money he earned, and personally sent it to Xiao Jinxuan. In order to thank each other and teach each other the kindness of craftsmanship.
"Miss Xiao, my Boss Shen is a rough person who walks the rivers and lakes, and I won't say those nice words. But our juggling team can make money, and we don't have to worry about life, and we can make some fame, all thanks to the grace of the girl. Therefore you must receive this money, and it should be a little bit of my heart. ”
Xiao Jinxuan is not a pretentious person, and it is indeed indispensable to go out with silver taels, and she has already run out of fifty taels of silver along the way.
So with a chuckle, she took the silver two small packages handed over by Boss Shen, and then said gently:
"Originally, those so-called Qimen occult techniques were just small tricks. When we arrive in Crescent City, it's time for you and me to say goodbye. After all, there is a banquet in the world, and I Xiao Yu will not suffer in vain with these hundred taels of silver, and I am also teaching you three kinds of mystic arts. ”
Being able to learn a few more housekeeping skills, Shen Lao Nature was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.
But when he heard that Xiao Jinxuan was leaving, Boss Shen could be regarded as a person who knew how to repay his kindness, so he immediately said:
"Miss Xiao is going to find her relatives, we have a lot of juggling team, after all, it is inconvenient for you to be alone outside, if the girl can be trusted, I am willing to help you."
After many days of getting along, Xiao Jinxuan could see that Boss Shen was a righteous person.
But how can she have a special identity, the less people know about finding Ding Yipin, the more beneficial it will be for her.
So she declined Boss Shen's kindness, and Xiao Jinxuan stayed in the juggling class for another two days to rest.
and helped everyone in the team, and after writing a lot of letters home, she left alone in the big guy's thank you and farewell.
With enough silver taels on her body, Xiao Jinxuan first cautiously chose a home, and lived in an inconspicuous inn, and then she began to look around for a needle.
Xiao Jinxuan knows that her master is cold-faced and hot-hearted, and wherever she travels, she will provide free medical treatment and free medical treatment for the poor.
Therefore, on the premise of not revealing her identity as much as possible, she did not dare to be too blatant to find Ding Yipin.
Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan knocked on the side and asked what strange things happened to Zizhu Blossom in Crescent City a few months ago, and that in the past few months, there have been clever doctors in the city.
As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, Xiao Jinxuan pretended to be a person who was eager to seek medical treatment, and spent money everywhere to buy news.
So in a few days, she gained a lot, at least through the information she received, she was able to determine two things.
One of them is that the purple bamboo in the Crescent City is indeed blooming, and later the old man Ding came to collect purple bamboo rice on a large scale, which is completely incomprehensible to the people in the city, and has been discussed for a long time.
Especially later, after Ding Yizhi's free clinic in the city, everyone said that the fruit of this purple bamboo after flowering is a panacea that is rare in a thousand years.
Therefore, the skilled Doctor Ding will pick this kind of thing.
So later, the people of Crescent City swarmed to collect purple bamboo rice, and if they didn't get it, they went to the door to ask Old Man Ding to give up some.
What's more, he even went to Old Man Ding's residence and directly stole Zizhu rice.
And the second news she got was that her master, because he couldn't stand the harassment and unreasonable troubles of the people of Crescent City, he suddenly left one day, and no one knew where he went.
After sorting out the news in her heart, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but close her eyes, and let out a long sigh of confusion in helplessness.
originally thought that when she came to Crescent City, at least her deteriorating body would be able to ask Ding Yiqi to take action, prolong her life as long as possible, and give her time to settle the revenge she should have.
But now that she had indeed arrived in Crescent City, Dante's whereabouts were unknown, and no one knew where he had gone.
For a while, Xiao Jinxuan's heart felt a sense of powerlessness and melancholy that she had never felt before.
Maybe he was too worried, so when he saw Xiao Jinxuan's brows furrowed, he coughed violently and unbearably.
And then a mouthful of black blood overflowed from her mouth, and Xiao Jinxuan, who was used to this, calmly wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.
Looking at herself who was becoming more and more haggard and pale in the bronze mirror, Xiao Jinxuan pulled a wry smile at the corner of her mouth, and casually took the carefree hairpin in her hand again from between the buns.
"I really tried my best, but this time it seems that God is not on my side, everything is really not going well, and one step at a time."
In fact, now that she thinks about it, Xiao Jinxuan found out that in fact, since she and Zhou Xianyu were really together, and since they became husband and wife, her fortunes began to fall all the way to the trough.
first became enemies with Xiangping, and then seemed to get rid of the Xue family, but invisibly fulfilled the rise of Empress Dowager Chen.
And Ji Lingfeng was still hiding in the shadows at this stage, and began to target her step by step.
Immediately afterwards, her illness recurred, and her body was eroded by severe poison, which also caused Zhou Xianyu to leave Beijing to find medicine for her.
But immediately because of the leakage of her life experience, Zhou Xianrui and her relationship gradually drifted apart, and then it was seclusion, death, and now thousands of miles away.
Xiao Jinxuan recalled everything she had experienced in the past year or so in her mind, and suddenly she remembered something that she had forgotten for a long time.
When he was reborn and returned, the curse-like shackles of renunciation and love did not seem to be undone.
In the past, Zhou Xian's imperial personality changed, and she was in danger many times, but Xiao Jinxuan felt that all that she had encountered now was either because she was emotional, and God could not tolerate her, so she was punished.
