032: Preparing for the wedding

Zhao Xian'er raised her head and glared at him fiercely, "Are you satisfied?" ”

Yan Peng's eyes were heavy, "What are you satisfied with?" ”

Zhao Xian'er really wanted to tear through his disguise, he looked careless all day long, and he didn't care about the noble appearance of the world, but he was secretly doing dirty things.

"You don't really want to marry me, why did you propose to marry when Your Majesty was seriously ill, isn't there some conspiracy?" Zhao Xian'er is very angry, where can she still maintain her demeanor.

He just left a good way out for himself, this Yan Pan is ambitious, does all the bad things, poisons His Majesty, takes advantage of the absence of the prince, tries to seek power and usurp the throne, rebellious ministers and thieves, in case the matter is revealed, because he is married, it is easier for him to pull the Zhao family as a shield, it is really a crime that deserves death.

Yan Peng looked at her quietly, and said without yin or yang, "This king really wants to marry, but I'm afraid you don't really want to marry, why, until now, are you still thinking about the prince?" ”

Zhao Xian'er sneered, "You don't care who I think, it's not you anyway." ”

Yan Peng's eyes were cold and gloomy, and he was really the one who was the prince, so he could calm down, "No matter who you think, but you can only marry this king, and this king doesn't want to talk about this now." ”

Which one do you say, this girl is not interested, Zhao Xian'er took a deep breath, and then calmed down.

Yan Peng didn't beat around the bush, "You just helped His Majesty see a doctor, you must have found something, can you tell me the reason?" ”

It was rare for him to speak so seriously, but Zhao Xian'er felt that he deliberately pretended to be so sad that he was just letting his guard down, wanting to find out if he knew or how much he knew about His Majesty's poisoning.

She smiled, "The prince's words are wrong, I am not a doctor, where will I see a doctor, but I just care about Your Majesty, just take a look." ”

Of course, Yan Peng didn't believe it, "Xian'er, I really want to know the cause of the disease, and then find a way to treat Your Majesty, because I don't want to see him suffer from illness, let alone die." ”

Zhao Xian'er laughed mockingly, this coaxed a three-year-old child, I'm afraid no one will believe it, there is no need to play the family card in front of her, "If the prince wants to understand, he should go to the imperial doctor." ”

After saying that, he turned around to leave, Yan Peng reached out and grabbed her arm, pressed her shoulder, and did not allow her to resist, with a serious face, "I know, you suspect that I am not good for Your Majesty, but if you know the cure, please treat him." ”

His close body, between the two, created an indescribable ambiguous atmosphere, and his sincere tone and expression made Zhao Xian'er almost believe him, but her face was still calm, "Is the prince unfavorable to His Majesty, and still suspicious?" Let go! ”

Her chin was slightly raised, her eyes were provocative and disdainful, Yan Huang's gaze was locked on her face, Zhao Xian'er was slightly embarrassed, raised her hand and pushed him, but his hand was pressed to his heart.

The soft jade hand tugged at his long-dormant heartstrings, and he throbbed uncontrollably.

Yan Peng's pair of Danfeng eyes, the tails of his eyes were slightly raised, and there was such an indescribable style, his Adam's apple moved, and he sneered.

"I don't care what others think, Zhao Xian'er, you are the royal daughter-in-law and a subject, and you have the responsibility to relieve Your Majesty's worries."

"I don't have anything to do with you." Zhao Xian'er looked away, pulled out his hand, and turned to the path shaded by the trees next to him.

When she was outside the palace gate, she saw her father, and after the two got into the carriage, Prime Minister Zhao Cheng seemed worried.

Zhao Xian'er was also depressed, and when she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was not early.

She had no dinner, and when she returned to Loquat Garden, she was in a daze in the room, thinking of marrying Yan Peng, she began to have a splitting headache, and thought of His Majesty's condition, poisoning is by no means a day, the medicine in the palace, the Imperial Doctor's Department has recorded, if someone wants to murder His Majesty's life, the poison must have come from outside the palace, then the matter is completely clear.

Yan Peng colluded with the queen's henchman Xia He, not only got a lot of useful information from her, but also asked her to bring mandala powder into the palace, which was not good for His Majesty.

After being detected, he killed people again, trying to make it impossible to find out, Xia He must have been very desperate when he died, but he didn't expect him to really kill himself, so he grabbed the evidence in his hand.

Zhao Xian'er is inevitably desolate in her heart, the royal family has always been the coldest place, for the sake of imperial power, siblings, father and son turn against each other, there is no family affection at all, it is really sad.

Zhao Xian'er pressed her drowsy forehead, should she tell her father and let him think of preventing His Majesty from continuing to be persecuted, after all, this is related to the stability of the world and the status of the crown prince.

But this is just her own speculation, there is no evidence, she always feels that something is wrong, it is too easy to find out about Xia He, and there is a faint feeling of being misled, but she can't say what is wrong.

Runyue pushed the soothing tea in front of her, "Girl, what are you thinking?" ”

Zhao Xian'er came back to her senses, took a sip of tea, and was silent.

Runyue sighed, "The slave maid heard that Your Majesty wants to choose a date for you and King Chen to get married, what about the prince, girl, it's all this time, why hasn't the prince come back?" ”

"What can he do when he comes back, can it be that he can still conflict with His Majesty for me?" Zhao Xian'er is naturally self-aware, what the royal family values is the supreme imperial power, and feelings are all for the sake of interests.

She smiled wryly, "Don't worry, it's a big deal." ”

Runyue became nervous, "Girl, don't you think about it, you're dead, what should you do with the slave?" ”

Zhao Xian'er smiled lightly, "Don't worry, if I really die, I will find you a reliable person." ”

Runyue blushed, "What did the girl say?" Slaves and maids are going to follow you all your life, you must not think about it. ”

Zhao Xian'er was afraid of scaring her, and said with a smile, "Silly girl, how can I be so fragile to seek death, don't worry, your girl will live a long life and can't die." ”

Runyue smiled, patted her chest, and went to work on other things.

Zhao Xian'er rubbed her eyebrows, and went to her father's Xinyi Garden, there was no one guarding the door, she walked over lightly, only to hear the sound of conversation in the study.

Father's voice was heavy, "Guard Li, you secretly spread the news, just say that Your Majesty is critically ill and has something to do with King Chen." ”

Li Guard, "Don't worry, my subordinates will go." ”

Father said, "It is related to the overall situation of the DPRK and China, you must be cautious, this time King Chen will die." ”

"My subordinates understand."

Zhao Xian'er hurriedly hid to the side, it turned out that her father had already had a plan, and she quietly retreated.

She studied a prescription in the past few days, found Dongfang Jin, and asked him to refer to it, Dongfang Jin couldn't help but praise her medical skills, and also told her that someone wanted to be unfavorable to His Majesty, and whether the prescribed medicine could be eaten by His Majesty was also a problem.

Zhao Xian'er bit her lip tightly, and finally thought of an idea, she entered the palace and recommended Dongfang Jin to His Majesty, let him personally help His Majesty boil the medicine, and sent it over, and watched him take it.

After that, she went to the palace every day to greet His Majesty, check on his condition, and as long as His Majesty was healthy, the court would be stable.

On this day, Zhao Xian'er came to the palace early, and His Majesty was drinking the decoction under Yan Peng's service.

Zhao Xian'er didn't want to meet him, and was about to turn around and go out, but he happened to be seen by His Majesty, he beckoned, "Xian'er come in." ”

Zhao Xian'er had to go in, and after saluting, "Your Majesty is feeling better?" ”

His Majesty smiled and said, "I have eaten the prescription you prescribed, and I feel much better, Xian'er, you are even better than your mother's medical skills." ”

"Your Majesty has won the prize." Zhao Xian'er took the bowl in Yan Pang's hand and stirred the medicinal juice, without any problems, so he gave it to His Majesty with confidence.

She helped His Majesty check his condition again, and it was indeed much better than some time ago, but Yan Peng came to the palace every day, would he have to do anything again.

What made her feel strange was that there were many rumors about King Chen's bad intentions, both in the court and in the streets, and His Majesty should also know, how could he not be guarded at all?

His Majesty looked at the two people in front of him who were so matched, and smiled, "Fifth brother, how are the preparations for the marriage-related matters, you can't be wronged." ”

Yan Pan lowered his posture and said, "Father, rest assured, the sons will prepare well, by the way, Xian'er, if you have any requirements, just mention it to me, as long as I have it, I will never be stingy." ”

Zhao Xian'er hated him very much, wearing a mask in front of people, like a considerate and humble son, she secretly rolled her eyes, if it wasn't for His Majesty's face, she really didn't want to say a word to him, "The courtiers don't ask for anything." ”

His Majesty nodded, "Seeing that your relationship is so harmonious, I am relieved." ”

Seeing that His Majesty was tired, Xian'er got up to say goodbye, and night had fallen at this time.

The sunset dyed half of the sky red, as if it was soaked in blood, and Zhao Xian'er always had a bad omen in her heart, feeling that something big was about to happen.

She returned to her loquat garden, and Runyue smiled mysteriously, "Fourth girl, I have good news for you." ”

Zhao Xian'er was not interested, as if no matter what the news was, she couldn't raise her interest, and asked lightly, "What's the matter?" ”

Runyue took out a letter from her sleeve, "This is from the frontier, today the eldest prince sent someone to send home a book, one of which is for the girl, the slave and maid saw it and took it back, the slave and maid didn't peek." ”

Zhao Xian'er saw the familiar words "Xian'er personally enlightened" above, which was by no means from the hands of the eldest brother, so she pretended to be calm and took it, "The little girl is still pretending to be mysterious." ”

Runyue pursed her lips and chuckled, "The girl reads the letter with peace of mind, and the slave will go out." ”

She also carefully closed the door, and Zhao Xian'er opened the letter, which was the letter from the prince Yan Xun.

At the beginning, he expressed his thoughts, so that Zhao Xian'er couldn't help but blush and heartbeat, and later said that when the frontier was calmed, he would immediately return to Beijing and let His Majesty make the decision to promote their marriage.

Zhao Xian'er suddenly felt sad, and when he came back, I was afraid that things would already be wrong.

Suddenly there was a question in her heart, she and the prince often have flying pigeons to pass on the book, in the letter has explained to the prince that His Majesty promised himself to King Chen, if he has a heart, he will find a way as soon as possible.

But on this letter, looking at his tone, he didn't know anything about it, could it be that he didn't receive it, no, after I wrote a letter to him, it wouldn't be long before he would reply, and there was no reason why he didn't receive it.

Zhao Xian'er quickly realized that there was a reason for this, the letter was intercepted, and she stood up suddenly, so the prince didn't know what she said.

Now His Majesty is sick, although it is getting better day by day, but as the prince of the prince, he should also serve in front of the bed, without him in the frontier, there will not be too much chaos, but if there is no him in the court, King Chen is eyeing him, I am afraid that there will be a disaster in the temple.

If someone dares to hijack their own letters, then they must also hijack other letters, perhaps the crown prince and the eldest brother do not know anything about the affairs of the court today, if this is the case, then it will be a big deal.

If this Jin Dynasty really changed the sky, the first one to be wiped out by the Nine Clans must be their Zhao family.

With Yan Peng's yin and ruthless strength, he would never give her a knife happily, and he would definitely use torture to torture her and her family.

Zhao Xian'er shuddered, paced back and forth in the study, and finally stopped, she wanted to go to the frontier.

Early the next morning, she got up, dressed up, and went to her father's Xinyi Garden, telling him that it was the Winter Clothes Festival, and she wanted to go back to the countryside to sweep her mother's grave.

Prime Minister Zhao Cheng looked sad, it has been more than ten years since his wife died, and he was busy with official business, and he didn't see her a few times, so he felt very guilty.

As soon as Zhao Xian'er proposed it, he immediately agreed, and asked her to apologize to her mother on her behalf, and asked her to bring more people to ensure safety.

Zhao Xian'er agreed one by one, and immediately went back to prepare.

Zhao Chong was rarely at home, crossed Erlang's legs, looked at the busy Zhao Xian'er, and sneered, "Si'er, are you going to sweep your mother's grave, or are you going to run away from marriage?" ”

Zhao Xian'er glanced at him, "Do you want to go with me, it can be regarded as filial piety to your mother." ”

Zhao Chong pouted, "The countryside is barren, there is no food or drink, it is cold and dirty, so I won't go." ”

Zhao Xian'er didn't expect him to go, but he said it casually, but his reaction was too chilling, so he ignored him anymore, and went out directly after cleaning up

Before she left, she was going to see Dongfang Jin once, and told him some things, telling him to take good care of His Majesty, never leave an inch, and remember that as long as he eats something in his mouth, he must not let King Chen touch it, and if he touches it, he will immediately find an excuse to pour it out.

It was hard to sleep at night, but the sun had already risen high, and she hadn't said goodbye to her father, Prime Minister Zhao thought she had slept late yesterday, and only told the people who accompanied her to take good care of the four girls on the road, and then went to the palace.

When Runyue came back and told Zhao Xian'er that Xiangye had left, she came out of Loquat Garden, wearing a white hat, and with the support of the girl, she got into the carriage that had been prepared a long time ago, and the group left the Prime Minister's Mansion and went out of Yanjing City.

Half an hour after they left, at the remote back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, two people quietly slipped out while the mother-in-law who was guarding the door was napping.

After going out, Runyue, who was dressed as a little girl, patted her chest, "Girl......"

Seeing her girl's glare, she quickly changed her tone and said, "Childe, it's really scared to death, can we do this?" ”

Zhao Xian'er Yan Ran was a handsome son, jumped on the horse, "Why not, when they find out that the car is fake, and then see my letter, they will naturally wait for us at the place where my mother's grave is, they protect the four girls, something went wrong, how dare they speak out, they can only wait obediently in the same place, and wait until we go to the border to see the prince, and then come back to meet them, isn't it the best of both worlds?" ”

Runyue nodded, "It's still the son who has wisdom." ”

"Let's go."

The two rode out of the city, and suddenly felt that the air outside was fresh, especially Runyue, who had not gone out easily, and her mood was particularly high.

Zhao Xian'er didn't have the heart to look at the scenery along the way because she had something in her heart, she just wanted to hurry up, hoping to arrive a day earlier.

The two of them slept in the open air, drove for seven or eight days, and Runyue's high mood was worn out by the car and horses.

"Childe, let's rest for a while."

Zhao Xian'er looked at the sky at dusk, and this was a wilderness, "Hold on for a while and see if there is an inn in front." ”

But before they could get out of the forest, the sky was already completely dark, and the night walk was even more dangerous, so they had no choice but to find a clean cave and rest for the night.

At this time, it was already winter, and the weather began to get colder, especially at night, and the two of them lit a bonfire in the cave, boiled water, and served dry food.

Runyue was probably really tired, and after eating something, she lay down and fell asleep deeply.

Zhao Xian'er covered her clothes, leaned against a stone, closed her eyes and recuperated, because she was afraid of danger, so she didn't dare to fall asleep.

The wind outside the cave was roaring, accompanied by the wailing of wild beasts, and when Zhao Xian'er was hazy, he vaguely saw that there seemed to be a figure coming slowly from outside the cave.

She was completely sleepy, and the alarm bell sounded in her heart, and Hulong sat up, and before she could see clearly, the bonfire in front of her was extinguished.

Runyue shouted, then was knocked unconscious and fell.

And Zhao Xian'er has been surrounded by an iron pincer-like arm, and the close physical contact especially makes her feel hairy.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to shout, a clear hand covered her mouth, and her cry for help turned into babbling.

Zhao Xian'er had an inexplicable fear in her heart, that person's strength was very strong, he clamped her under her armpit, took her to the depths of the hole, threw her on a pile of dead grass, and fell painfully.

Zhao Xian'er is the kind of person who is bullied, she took a deep breath and calmed down, in the night, she could only see a pair of eyes as bright as stars, like a beast.

Secretly took out the knife on his waist, and before he could make a move, he was held down by the man, and there was a piercing laugh in his ears.

The man leaned his head on her neck, Zhao Xian'er resisted desperately, but realized angrily that he was actually sniffing the scent of her body, and tried his best to suppress the strange feeling that gradually rose in his heart, "Who are you and what are you going to do?" ”

The other party didn't talk, Zhao Xian'er was pressed by him and couldn't move, no matter how calm the woman was, she panicked at the moment, and said in a trembling voice, "I have a lot of silver in my baggage, all of it is for you, you let me go." ”

"I want both money and people." He deliberately dragged out his tone, which was very evil.

Zhao Xian'er blushed angrily, wanted to cry without tears, stiffened her body, and the pair of black eyes above stared at her for a moment, and covered her in an instant......
