After the first rain of spring, the silky spring rain fell coldly.

Dongzhou is hundreds of miles away from the capital, because it is southern, the snow in the capital has not completely melted, and tender grass sprouts have come out in the corners and corners of Dongzhou's boundary.

The grass under his feet, no matter where he was, could have a little mud or a little water, so he rubbed his head out, and his eyes swept away, and his eyes were full of green.

"This Dongzhou is really a good place."

Lan Zhi said with a smile while cleaning up the salute for Wei Qingqing.

When they arrived at the county seat where they lived in Ronghai, Zhu Zhu and the Zhu family had already moved in in advance, and the people of the Guogong Mansion had also settled in advance.

Wei Qingqing listened to Lan Zhi's chatter, and only stood under the corridor, thinking about something in her heart.

I don't know how long it took, but my shoulders were warm, and when I turned around, I saw that it was Lan Sheng.

"Are you worried about the second master?" Lan Sheng asked her.

"Hmm."

Lan Sheng doesn't need Lan Zhi, she is always more delicate and can perceive her emotions.

Ah Xing, the little yellow dog, also came to amuse, this time he didn't deliberately bring it, but he followed the footsteps of a few people quietly all the way.

Wei Qingqing sat down on the edge of the corridor, teasing Ah Xing absentmindedly, while slowly sorting out his thoughts: "I always feel that our journey to Dongzhou is too smooth." ”

"Isn't it going well?"

Lan Zhi listened to the words and brought warm warm water to Wei Qingqing.

"It's good to go well." Lan Sheng took over. Looking at Wei Qingqing's frowning appearance, he said, "But the people in the palace can't see the people of our Guogong Mansion so well, how can they be willing to let us go like this?" Besides, the poison on the Duchess's body is not a deadly poison, and I think that even if we had not stopped the maid ring that day, she would not have killed the lady with a single sword. ”

"The poisoner, still waiting for us to go back and get the antidote." Wei Qingqing said in a low voice. But since she can think of it, Rong Che must also think about it, will he turn back to that small town to take care of the Duchess of Guo?

and Rong Hai's attitude along the way, which is also very strange.

Thinking about it, Liu Quanfu had already talked back and forth.

Liu Quanfu walked in a hurry, he was not tall, and he was fat, and when he walked, his feet slipped, like a round ball, which made Lan Zhi laugh out loud: "Shopkeeper Liu, you are also slow, it's raining, how can it be good if it is broken." ”

Liu Quanfu knew that Lan Zhi was teasing him, but now was not the time to laugh.

Liu Quanfu went up to the corridor, Wei Qingqing knew something when he looked at him, and directly ordered Lan Zhi: "There is no roof to guard, and no one is allowed to come within three zhang!" ”

Lan Zhi responded, turned over and went to the roof.

Liu Quanfu hurriedly wiped the rain on his face. Knowing that the cold on his body was heavy, he didn't dare to get too close, so he only stood at a distance of three steps, and then lowered his voice and said: "The servant inquired, Master Rong has already sent four or five people out along the way, and there is news from the Duchess of the Kingdom, saying that it is already arranging to come back." ”

"That's what happened to the second master."

But Wei Qingqing didn't believe that Rong Che would have an accident so easily, Rong Che was no longer stunned, he had already guessed that the matter was related to Helian Zifeng, and he decided to go out, so he would not be defenseless.

"What's the news from the capital?" It's been almost a month since she set off from the capital, and she thinks that the news she wants to hear over there should also come.

Liu Quanfu looked at Wei Qingqing's stomach with some scruples, it has been more than five months, Wei Qingqing is slender and wearing a loose dress, although it is not very obvious, but there is already a little life that needs to be carefully protected.

Wei Qingqing saw his hesitation: "Anyway, if you don't say it, those people will try to tell me about it." ”

Liu Quanfu looked at Lan Sheng, and saw that Lan Sheng also nodded, so he said helplessly: "Then after you heard it, you can't be in a hurry." ”

"Hmm."

Wei Qingqing was calmer than he thought.

Liu Quanfu paused, and then said the news he received: "It is rumored that the fifth prince has become the new emperor with the support of the queen mother, and the little prince said that he was a 'free king', and the fief is thousands of miles away from the capital, and he will leave the capital to go to the fief in a few days." ”

Wei Qingqing stared at Liu Quanfu deeply, Liu Quanfu was shocked, and immediately knelt on the ground: "There is news that Lord Wei has been arrested for angering the new emperor, I heard it...... Imprisoned in a water prison. ”

"Water dungeon!"

Rao is accustomed to seeing thunder means Lan Sheng couldn't help but be surprised, the water prison is the most torturous, the prisoner hands and feet soaked in the water all day long, the feet hung with heavy stones, the water will have to stand on tiptoe to surface to breathe, which means that the people who are imprisoned in the water prison can not rest day and night, otherwise once the feet do not stand up, people will drown alive.

Wei Qingshan is a young man, and he is a literati who has never practiced martial arts, how can he stand such a torturous method?

"Where's the second master?"

Wei Qingqing sat firmly and continued to ask, but she could see her hands tightly grasping the chair, and her whole body was trembling.

Liu Quanfu was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand it, and looked at her like a knife, so that he didn't dare to hide it anymore: "There is news, second master...... Nope. ”

When Wei Qingqing heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. The tense body as a bow softened, and he slowly adjusted his breathing with his eyes down.

Lan Sheng was not at ease, and wanted to ask for a doctor, but Wei Qingqing didn't stop him, but said to Liu Quanfu sullenly: "Arrange someone to go to the capital to investigate." ”

"Miss, you don't think about going to the capital." Liu Quanfu asked.

Wei Qingqing smiled brightly: "Don't go." ”

Liu Quanfu always felt that it was too scary for her to laugh when she was sad like this: "Then the little one will arrange someone to investigate, and there is no specific news about the second master." "If you don't see people alive or dead, you can't see any definite news.

Wei Qingqing explained a few more words, and then raised his hand and let Liu Quanfu go down.

As soon as Liu Quanfu left, Wei Qingqing covered her lower abdomen and closed her eyes deeply.

The spring rain has been falling for six or seven days in a row, and the atmosphere in several courtyards in the alleys of Dongzhou seems to be dull and moldy.

Rong Hai was worried about Wei Qingqing, so he asked Yan Ruan to come and see it several times a day, but every time he came, Wei Qingqing sat firmly in the room and read a book, very quiet, as if he didn't know the scene outside.

Until the eighth day, Liu Quanfu entered the house again.

"How?"

Wei Qingqing put down the scroll in his hand and looked at Liu Quanfu, whose clothes were wet.

"As you expected, the small arranged boat and carriage were all robbed halfway." Liu Quanfu opened his mouth, worried, after returning the news of Wei Qingshan and Rong Che that day, Wei Qingqing secretly stuffed him with a note, waiting for him to go back and read it. Only then did he know that it was Wei Qingqing who asked him to prepare a boat, arrange a woman every day, dress up like her, pretend that she was going to sneak back to Beijing quietly, and walk separately by water and land.

But one after another, all of them were robbed.

Just when Li Quanfu was worried, when he looked up, he saw that Wei Qingqing actually showed a relieved look, and there was a smile on the corner of his lips, but there was sarcasm.

"Miss......"

"It's okay, wait with peace of mind, my father won't lose his life for the time being, and the second master must not have lost his life yet." Wei Qingqing's tone was a little unkind, although she was sure that her father and Rong Che had not lost their lives for the time being, but she didn't know how long this life could be saved.

Liu Quanfu was confused when he heard it, and Wei Qingqing was also patient: "The fifth prince has just ascended the throne now, and there is a third prince and a free king in the court, and behind the third prince is the old party of the former prince, although he was imprisoned, he was not deposed, not to be underestimated, not to mention that there is another obviously ill-intentioned Helian Zifeng, with the ability of the five princes, he can't deal with these two people easily, and he can still spare his hands to try his best for me, a little woman who is not in a big deal with the situation." ”

"That's the big palm...... The Easy King? Liu Quanfu asked.

Wei Qingqing glanced at him, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence, Helian Zifeng's paranoia about her, she only found out later. By the time he knew, he didn't know how to deal with his paranoia.

"If it was his words, he wouldn't really want his father's life. And the second master, if he really killed him, the body would have been sent a long time ago. When Wei Qingqing said the word 'corpse', her heart trembled.

Only then did Liu Quanfu understand why Wei Qingqing asked him to arrange for someone to go out of Beijing.

"So what are you going to do next?" Liu Quanfu looked at Wei Qingqing, who had deep eyes, and knew that she must have an idea.

"There is still a very sure ...... "No matter how good she is at scheming, what is involved now is also the supreme position, which is the society and the country, she doesn't think that overnight, there will be a way to solve it, but no matter what, she must do it."

Wei Qingqing looked at Liu Quanfu and looked fixed: "Wait for three more days, if the second master has not come back, we will go to Beijing!" ”

"It's too dangerous...... "A book."

"Wait until I go to Beijing. If you tell the eldest brother again, I'm afraid you have to be ready. Wei Qingqing said in a deep voice.

Liu Quanfu naturally knew what preparations to make, and he was ready to press the border and force Helian Zifeng to release people and give the antidote!

Capital.

Helian Zifeng looked at the six or seven women who were wearing Wei Qingqing's clothes but not Wei Qingqing brought back by Nanping, and their faces were very gloomy and terrifying.

"She found out." Helian Zifeng spoke, his voice hoarse as if sand was blowing.

Nanping looked at Helian Zifeng's gaze, and only felt that his scalp was numb.

"It should be, the slave has inquired about the people under him, and there is nothing wrong with the side, and I don't know how she ......"

"It's too watertight." Helian Zifeng thought of the woman with bright eyes, how could he be negligent, how smart she was, how could it be done by the five princes without leaking a drop of water?

She guessed that it was herself who would be so calm and slow to come out from under Rong Hai's wings.

Nanping also reacted, but with a little pride: "No matter what, she will always come out, the poison on the Duchess of Guo is insolvable if she is not a slave, and now that Rong Che is trapped by us, she will never let Rong Hai come out to take risks, so she is the only one who comes over." ”

"Did Rong Che really make you trapped?" Helian Zifeng glanced at Nanping dangerously, Rong Che was now trapped without making a sound, which was too strange.

But he doesn't look like a person who is ruthless enough to hide Qingqing, after all, Qingqing is still pregnant. He wouldn't be unaware of what this news meant to Qingqing.

What's the problem?

Helian Zifeng couldn't figure it out for a while, and news came from outside, saying that the new emperor was going to hold a banquet in the palace and invited him over.

When Helian Zifeng heard this, his head tilted slightly, and his hand on the coffee table just held it: "Set up a banquet?" ”

The word faint is already an endless mockery.

The eunuch who came to invite turned pale for a while, and hurriedly bowed: "The servant passed the word, so he retreated." ”

"Tell him. This king will go. ”

Helian Zifeng said, as if he was not going to a Hongmen banquet, but a child's house.

The eunuch felt the murderous aura that seemed to be absent but lingered all over his body, and he didn't dare to say any more, so he hurriedly retreated.

When he withdrew, he still muttered: "This Xiaoyao King is gloomy and like a dead man, and his eyes are also very strange, but fortunately, the Sprinkle family just passed him into the palace for a banquet." ”

With that, he got into the carriage and hurried away.

But no dark spots were found. A pair of sharp eyes narrowed like a fox.

As soon as the eunuch left, Nanping came out of the mansion with a little fierceness on his body, and after ordering others, he turned around and walked into the alley next door.

But I didn't want to feel a murderous aura coming from behind me as soon as I entered the alley.

That fierce murderous aura and sword aura, he only had time to return a few moves, and he was stabbed on the neck by someone who came.

Before the head on his neck could say goodbye to his body completely, he finally saw the person clearly, but he only had time to let out an 'ah' sound, and his head gurgled and fell to the ground.

The night was a little darker, and Helian Zifeng didn't see Nanping come back, so he knew that he had an accident.

"A master in Beijing."

Helian Zifeng Wu changed into a gorgeous costume, walked out of the house slowly, stepped into the carriage again, and smiled: "It was my negligence, even so, His Majesty the new emperor can only live a good day full of flowers tonight." ”

After saying that, the carriage moved slowly, and the people who heard Helian Zifeng's words in the dark also sank slightly.

At this time, there is another place in the capital.

Ge Lao looked at Wei Xun, who was knocked unconscious by him, and sighed three times in a row: "Old man, what crime have I suffered, I said Rong Che, I have already paid off what I owe you, I have already taught Wei Hu's stunned young man, why do you call me to take care of this nerd?" ”

Rong Che, who had just taken off his mask, walked in, wiped the bloody sword with a handkerchief, and smiled lightly: "What are these words, Old Ge?" We are friends, the righteousness of life and death. ”

Ge Lao was so angry that he couldn't speak, Rong Che was going to say that his hard work was in vain!

"Next time, ask your daughter-in-law to make me a few more jars of wine, if I hadn't rushed over this time, your life would have been gone, you white-eyed wolf." Ge Lao snorted.

Rong Che didn't say a word, but his eyebrows were cold.

Even if Ge Lao didn't go this time, he wouldn't lose his life. It's just that it was really delayed for a few days, and it was impossible to come to the capital so easily to hide Helian Zifeng's eyeliner.

As he spoke, he took out the antidote he had collected from Nanping and handed it to Ge Lao: "I'm sorry for you to run and bring the people and the medicine over." ”

"What about Qingqing, don't you bring her a word?" Ge Lao asked.

Speaking of Wei Qingqing, Rong Che's heart sank: "Instead of letting her know that I am in the capital, you might as well say that I am still trapped in Yangcheng." ”

"She's pregnant, I really don't know how good it is for you to be a lonely hero here, in case you accidentally die, we can hide the news first, and lie to her to give birth to the child safely, so as to save her from being angry and hurting her body."

Ge Lao said angrily, so he stuffed the medicine into his arms, threw Wei Xun on his shoulder as if he was carrying a burlap bag, dodged, and disappeared into the courtyard.

Juncher did not refute. After standing quietly in the courtyard with a sword for a while, he went back to change his clothes and went straight to a certain place in the capital.

And at this time, General Wei's mansion.

When Wei Susu learned that Rong Che and his party had withdrawn to Dongzhou, they were already packing their luggage.

"Susu, do you really want to go to Dongzhou? What can you do if you go, that Rong Che is a heartless person, and you will only bring humiliation on yourself if you go......"

"Enough!"

Wei Susu glanced at Qu coldly, now that Wei is rampant and Wei Qiongwei is gone, the concubines have long fought for the family property, but Wei Susu found that the silver on the account was less than 1,000. 、

Obviously, Qu's housewife is a careless person, and the real steward Jiang disappeared without a trace after Wei Yi's death.

If Wei Susu wants to stay, he will only be given a small benefit by his brother for a few taels of silver, and then he will be matched with a family who doesn't know how to be dirty.

Rather than that, she would rather follow Rong Che.

Qu Shi looked at his indifferent daughter and cried sadly: "Mother is only you......"

"Really?" Wei Susu was still indifferent: "Why didn't you have me in your eyes when my eldest brother was here?" ”

Qu was shocked, she naturally did favor her son more, but she never treated her daughter badly, but her daughter was sensible and quiet since she was a child, and she hardly asked her for anything, so the things in her hand were naturally given to her son who would ask for it.

"Susu, my mother has never been ......"

"Nothing? Didn't you love your son more, or didn't you ignore my daughter? Wei Suqian asked.

Qu Shi looked at the disgusted and resentful light in her eyes, and her throat instantly seemed to be dumb, and she couldn't even say a word.

Wei Susu didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore: "The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, I left you this thousand taels, if you are not stupid, take care of the people in the house, and you can continue to live well as your wife." As for me, you just let me die. ”

After that, he didn't care about Qu's anymore, and only let Bixue and the two little girls go out with a salute.

But he didn't want to go out as soon as he went out, so he was directly grabbed by a group of people in the carriage and left the Wei Mansion quickly.

Ge Lao came out of the capital, it was a horse he was riding, he changed one in two days, and he hurried to Dongzhou day and night.

It was Wei Qingqing who walked a little and a half month away, and Ge Lao arrived in only three days, just before Wei Qingqing left Dongzhou.

But what I didn't expect was that after Wei Qingqing watched the Duchess of Guo take the antidote, early the next morning, Yan Ruan came over and found that Wei Qingqing's figure was missing.

On the table in the room, only a letter from Wei Qingqing remained.

When Ge Lao looked at the letter, he smiled: "Old man, I know that Rong Che still thinks that he is a lonely hero." ”
