Chapter 164: Farewell
When Ling Qingsong returned to Shangdu, he did bring Xiao Yizheng a letter from Qingxi.
In the letter, Qingxi only said that he wanted to stay in Sujiang to spend more time with his grandparents and not return to Shangdu for the time being.
He looked at Zhao Xin and Moon Shadow who followed Qingsong back to Beijing, and there was a trace of strangeness in his heart.
"Ah Heng asked you to come back first?" He asked Moon Shadow with a frown.
Moon Shadow looked innocent and complained a little, "I've never been away from the princess for so long......"
When she said this, Xiao Yizheng was even more faintly uneasy.
Previously, Ling Qingsong and Zhao Xin had already reported Su Jiang's situation roughly, so he knew that Qingxi had been kidnapped.
And Qingsong only told him one thing alone, and as for the life experiences of Qingxi and Xiao Yizheng, he didn't mention a word. This is also Qingxi's tens of millions of advice.
"She didn't say what she was going to do if she stayed in Sujiang?"
Moon Shadow's eyes widened even more innocently, as if besides, I really couldn't guess with my little head. She shook her head helplessly.
"So, Li Han, Ding Ming, including that Jiang Lian, are still in Sujiang?"
Zhao Xin nodded.
Xiao Yizheng fell silent.
He felt that if Qingxi hadn't sent Moon Shadow back alone, then he wouldn't be suspicious. But now, he is sure that her staying alone in Sujiang is not as simple as wanting to accompany Chen and his wife more. As for the reason, he still has no clue.
When Moon Shadow exited the house, she whispered to Zhao Xin: "I think it must be that the princess is angry and unhappy when she hears that Her Royal Highness is going to marry that princess and returns to Shangdu." ”
She has said this sentence countless times along the way.
Zhao Xin hurriedly gave her a look, meaning to be careful of being heard by His Highness. But Moon Shadow smiled proudly, she deliberately said this to let Xiao Yizheng hear it.
Xiao Yizheng in the room frowned, although he believed that Qingxi would definitely believe in himself, but he was still a little flustered in the end.
After Ling Qingsong returned to Beijing, he immediately took office as the head of the household, and after Ling Deyan and Chen Ruofu got together with their son, they also set off back to Sujiang.
After Ling Deyan and his wife left Beijing, Ling Qingsong stood in the backyard of Ling's mansion, looking a little melancholy. He muttered, "I'm the only one left in the Ling Mansion today. ”
Xiao Yizheng, who was standing behind him, couldn't help laughing: "It's not suitable for Lizhi to be so sentimental." ”
Ling Qingsong turned around and smiled heartily: "I know that I lost my words, there is not His Royal Highness, my brother-in-law." ”
Xiao Yizheng stepped forward and stood side by side with him in the sunset, admiring the clouds in the sky.
"Actually, my father and mother can get out of Shangdu, I am very happy." Kiyomatsu said in a low voice.
Xiao Yizheng nodded.
"What about Your Highness? When to get out of Shandu? Kiyomatsu asked him with a sideways head.
Xiao Yizheng lowered his eyes and said slowly: "I still have some unfinished business in Shangdu. He paused, met Qingsong's deep eyes, and said seriously: "In addition to Xiao Yizheng, I am also the king of Dacheng Heng, I have a responsibility for the country, and I have a commitment to my father." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled at each other.
"I hope you don't let Heng'er wait too long, she is worried about you in Sujiang." Kiyomatsu smiled.
Xiao Yizheng frowned and asked: "I know that this statement shows that Ah Heng doesn't seem to have any intention of returning to Shangdu, but why did he send Moon Shadow back, and also found a reason for her to return to Beijing to prepare before?" ”
Qing Song paused, then shrugged his shoulders, and said lightly: "Heng'er really didn't tell me whether she would come back or not." In order for Moon Shadow and Zhao Xin to finally become a family, there is no need to separate the two places and fall in love, this is something she will arrange. I said a long time ago, Heng'er is very good in Sujiang, Your Highness don't think too much. ”
Xiao Yizheng hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Qiqina, she is really not angry, right?" ”
Because he was worried that he would be intercepted by someone who wrote Shangdu's letter, since he returned to Shangdu, he rarely wrote to Su Jiang, and even if he did, he would not write secret things.
Thinking about it carefully, it has been nearly three months since I left Sujiang.
Qing Song was slightly stunned, looked at Xiao Yizheng for a long time, and said with a straight face: "Angry, of course angry!" ”
Xiao Yizheng's eyes were certain, and he immediately understood that it was time for him to pretend that this was a joke, and his heart was a lot more stable.
Qing Song shook his head and continued: "But I think she will not be angry in a few days." Didn't you say that the princess of Danda had already said goodbye to the saint? As soon as she left Shangdu, the news would be immediate
Convey Su Jiang, Heng'er will know that His Royal Highness is still a Dan heart to Qingxi. He raised an eyebrow as he spoke.
Xiao Yizheng smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
The Danda mission was indeed leaving, which was expected by him.
But before Kikina leaves, he still needs to see her.
Qing Song suddenly put away his smile and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, I just returned to the court and heard some rumors. Both the queen and the crown prince seem to be in poor health? ”
Xiao Yizheng raised his eyes slightly and asked inquiringly: "Why do you care about these situations?" Public or private? ”
Qingsong knew that Qingxi would inevitably tell Xiao Yizheng about his relationship with Shen Tong, so he was not surprised by Xiao Yizheng's question, but said calmly: "It is both for public and private." The royal family is selfless, and the queen and the crown prince are naturally related to the political affairs of the previous dynasty. If the rumors are true, the pressure on the saint's heart will be great. Those ministers of the previous dynasty could not wait to send their daughters to the harem, which would naturally affect the political situation. And the queen knows the old knowledge, so she naturally hopes that she will be smooth and healthy. ”
Xiao Yizheng smiled gently, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "The queen is virtuous, the child is innocent, and God will bless her." ”
This is said ambiguously, but he is as smart as Qingsong, so he naturally understands it.
He sighed slightly, and his face darkened.
Xiao Yizheng continued to say seriously: "Lizhi, unlike your father-in-law, you are still young, whether you are serving the country or your own ambitions, in short, if you want to go down the road of career, you must consider it carefully." The Beijing officials have the advantages of the Beijing officials, and the local officials have the advantages of the local officials. Originally, I asked you to leave Shangdu for fear of being implicated by me, but now the situation is different, and the imperial brother and I will not go that far, so you don't need to worry about me in doing things. ”
Qing Song bowed his head and said, "I understand." To be honest, I prefer to go out and do something practical. Hey, I'm still thinking about the beautiful scenery of my South Lake after the renovation......"
"Beautiful scenery is used, as long as there is a heart." Xiao Yizheng said meaningfully.
The next day, he went to the inn.
Seeing that Qi Qina took the initiative to come to her, she smiled and laughed at herself: "I really can't believe that His Royal Highness King Heng will take the initiative to come to the door." ”
Xiao Yizheng ordered Zhao Xin to send the prepared gifts, and said sincerely: "I came to say goodbye to the princess, a little heart, not respect." ”
Kicina looked up at him, but there was deep confusion in her eyes. "If you do that, I'll be mistaken."
Xiao Yizheng smiled faintly: "If the princess misunderstands, she is really confused." ”
Kicina folded her arms, rolled her eyes, and said refreshingly: "You won, I lost." I will go back to Ulantu and pick a man who is a hundred times stronger than you. ”
"The princess will get her wish." Xiao Yizheng nodded.
The rejection of Qiqina's forced marriage to King Heng has also spread all over the streets and alleys of Shangdu in the past two days. The Dacheng woman may be ashamed of this, but Qiqina still goes in and out of the post house in a high-profile manner, shopping for things, and looks like she doesn't care.
Xiao Yizheng naturally admires the freedom of Danda people.
She can not care and is not bound by the Central Plains Rites, but as far as he is concerned, no matter what, it is always ashamed to force a woman into such a situation, but what she can do is to say goodbye well.
"Don't talk about the dynasty, don't talk about the past, just talk about the friendship that the princess once had, Xiao Yizheng thanked me here, I wish you all the best when you return to Ulantu, and may Dacheng and Danda be reconciled forever." His tone was gentle, and his gaze was firm.
Kikina's eyes showed emotion, but she said angrily: "Come on, don't come to this." When he threatened me that day, he did not show mercy to His Highness's men. ”
Xiao Yizheng smiled faintly and said, "If I do it again, I will still do it." ”
Kikina looked at him for a while, and said with a smile: "So, I'd better go back to Ulantu earlier." ”
"Princess, this king also wants to give advice, Ulantu is different from Shangdu, the matter of Shangdu, the people of Shangdu, you don't have to intervene, don't intersect."
"This is also a threat?"
Xiao Yizheng shook his head: "Out of kindness, or even out of the sincere opinion of a friend." Sometimes, the person who tells you something is not necessarily a friend; The one who doesn't tell you something isn't necessarily the enemy. The princess is also the one who turns the clouds and rain in Ulantu, and she should be transparent and white. As he spoke, he arched his hand and said, "This king's words are all here, and he may meet again in the future." The mountains are high and the waters are long, and the princess takes care all the way. ”

After Yi Zheng left, Qi Qina looked at the gift he sent, which turned out to be a good whitening powder developed in the palace, and attached instructions and formulas.
She took a deep breath, a little heat in her eyes. He must still remember that he left behind a skin color that was no longer normal because he wanted to solve the poison of the Seven Killings, so he gave this special thing to him.
"Xiao Yizheng, back to Ulantu, how can I find a better man than you!" She muttered.
However, he didn't like her, he only liked his princess! The bright and stunning woman.
Kicina wiped the tears on her cheeks, raised her head and said, "It's okay, isn't it just a man!" ”
She said it with pride, but when she left Shangdu, she still left Xiao Yizheng a return gift.
After Xiao Yizheng came out of the post house, he and Zhao Xin quickly went to the Royal Taoist Temple and asked to meet the concubine who had already practiced here.
The matter was reported to Xiao Yihe on the same day.
Xiao Yihe looked at the dense words on the tie, and felt upset.
He just wanted to instruct his uncle not to hand over the tie in the future, but he saw the key point written by Yuan Yi: King Heng went to the Taoist Temple to see Concubine Nian, whether it was for the case of Red Silk Grass, and whether the case was committed by Concubine Nian alone that day, it is really doubtful.
He snapped, closed the tie, coughed, and had a splitting headache.
He felt as if his body was also very empty. The doctors didn't say it explicitly when they asked for pulse, but they always told him to rest more.
He didn't like this feeling of powerlessness, and always felt that he was in the prime of life, and he was at his most energetic, and he shouldn't rest all day.
So, two days ago, he just issued an order to go to Muyuan Enclosure to hunt before the summer.
Naturally, the ministers of the DPRK and China also objected, but he was unusually insistent.
