Chapter 293: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow Follows

Ruqing only woke up the night after the end of the rebellion, because it was dark at that time, she didn't know what was going on, and the whole person was very dazed: "Aren't I going to follow Lu Li into the palace tonight to save Xia Bai, what's the matter, where is this?" ”

At that time, Shen Ya was by her side, and when she heard this, her expression changed slightly.

When Lu Li gave him the drug and asked him to take Ruqing out of the capital, he struggled for a while, Ruqing has always liked to be righteous, and she will definitely do what she has agreed with others even if her interests will be damaged, let alone enter the palace to save her best sister An Xiabai, even if Daoshan gunpowder wants her to go, it is estimated that she will not say a second sentence.

Ruqing is angry, but Shen Ya is different, he thinks about things far more than Qing, after struggling for a while that night, he finally put the drug into the tea, and then followed Lu Li's guidance all the way to a small village relatively far away from the capital, wanting to spend a while there.

"There are some things I know you're going to get angry when you say it, but I have to."

Shen Ya's solemn appearance successfully aroused Ruqing's curiosity.

"What do you think, what is the relationship between the two of us, will I lose my temper with you easily and others don't know, don't you know in your own heart?" She smiled and crooked.

Seeing that people were about to get up, Shen Ya's heart was crossed, and he poked out the matter of drugging himself in the tea.

Ruqing almost didn't stand firmly, she gently pressed the corner of her forehead, felt dizzy, and her voice couldn't stop shaking: "Shen Ya, you won't be joking with me, or that I'm drunk and haven't woken up yet, what are you saying about leaving the capital, it's night, I definitely haven't missed their actions at night, and I haven't missed the time to save Xia Bai, right?" ”

Shen Ya twisted his brows into a Sichuan character.

At this time, silence is better than sound, and Ruqing completely understands what he means.

Breaking the appointment is an unforgivable thing for Ruqing, not to mention that it is still Shuang Lu Li's appointment, she is in a hurry, she gets up and puts on her shoes and is about to go out.

Shen Ya hugged the person at a loss: "Where are you going, it's dark outside!" ”

"Of course, it's back to the capital, maybe it's too late to go back now!"

Shen Ya sighed, and a trace of regret flashed in his heart.

"It's too late to go back now."

When I talked to Lu Li in private, Lu Li had already made it clear that they would act tonight, and now if things go well, I am afraid that the palace will change hands, and An Xiabai and they have also been rescued from the palace by Lu Li, Ruqing is to rush back overnight tonight, I am afraid that I will not be able to help them, rather than go to face the capital that does not know what the situation is, it is better to stay here.

Shen Ya's consideration was incomprehensible to Ruqing, and in her cognition, the promise should be fulfilled.

She wanted to go to the capital, but Shen Ya refused to let her, no matter what means she used, she was not allowed to go, and the two of them were so stiff.

The awkward atmosphere was not eased until a letter came from the capital.

"What did the letter say?"

Ruqing was illiterate, so even if the name of the recipient on the letter was herself, she read it through Shen Ya and read it to her. Seeing that Shen Ya's face was getting worse and worse, somehow, Ruqing's heart was also hanged.

"What did the letter say, don't frown, read the letter to me first."

"Hmm." Shen Ya agreed, the expression on his face did not ease, and the tone of his voice was also very difficult, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mo Simin are gone. ”

Ruqing was stunned for a moment, and her figure shook.

Behind him was the table, Shen Ya was afraid that she would bump and hurt her body, so she hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the person in her arms: "You should calm down." ”

Ruqing wanted to calm down, but how could she calm down, Mo Simin and the prince were both her friends, and now that the two of them are gone together, she can't accept this fact: "How can a good person say that there is no and no it, they have been married for less than two months now, and people say they will leave, or will they go together?" What's going on here? ”

Shen Ya could understand her current mood, after all, Mo Simin and the crown prince were also his friends.

Mrs. Lu said in the letter that the crown prince was killed by the emperor, and Simin was....... Suicide. ”

In addition to explaining the cause of death of the prince and Mo Simin, the letter also told their funerals, only saying that the cause of death of the prince and Mo Simin was to protect the emperor, and the prince was in the fire to protect the emperor.

Listening to the words relayed by Shen Ya, Ruqing's eyes became more and more moist.

"What about the scenery and burial, the deceased is gone, and they probably don't know the honor behind them."

"Alas, the dead are gone, and that's all the living can do."

Ruqing is a person who doesn't like to cry, her natural heroic and hearty personality makes her always cheerful and generous, since knowing her for so long, the only time Shen Ya saw her gaffe was after losing her child, and now when she sees her crying again, she will inevitably feel distressed, so she hugged her tightly in her arms and comforted her softly: "Actually, Si Min is now, it can be regarded as seeking benevolence, isn't it, if it is, if the person who has an accident is you, I can't live alone in the world, it's better to go down and accompany than to live alone." Now that she is on Huangquan Road, she may have met His Royal Highness the Prince, and we should be happy for her. ”

"You're right." Ruqing wiped her tears, sad and happy in her heart, "Xia Bai is in the capital now and I don't know what the situation is, Si Min is gone again, I really can't rest assured of her, or you take me back to Beijing, if there is something, I can also help, and it is good to comfort a few more words." ”

Shen Ya's heart moved slightly, and he nodded gently: "Listen to you." ”

They said they would go, and after they were sure to return to Beijing, they set off for Beijing on the same day, and they saw the gate of the capital after most of the day.

It is estimated that because of the recent palace incident, the city gate is now very heavily guarded, and those who enter the city have to hand over the customs clearance documents, which is what Shen Ya and Ruqing were told when they passed through the city gate. They left the capital at night that day, everything was in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to bring their luggage, let alone customs clearance paperwork.

"Can a few officials be accommodating?" Shen Ya said as he stuffed the silver tael used to bribe in his hand into the hands of the official, "Our husband and wife live in a small village not far from the capital, and we entered the city today mainly to visit relatives. I was in too much of a hurry when I went out, so I didn't have time to get the customs clearance papers. ”

A few officials seemed to have seen too many people talking like this, their eyes were full of disdain, and the silver taels they had sent to their hands were all pushed back by them.

"It's not that we don't want to be accommodating, but we can't be accommodating, there have been many events in the capital recently, and we have been very strict everywhere, we don't dare to make our own claims, and if we don't bring customs clearance documents, then you will wait to bring them and then go in."

Now it was getting dark, and they couldn't go back even if they went back to get it.

Shen Ya and Ruqing looked at each other, and when they were in a dilemma, they suddenly heard a soft sigh, and then someone hurriedly ran in their direction.

"Are you two friends with Mrs. Lu?"

Shen Ya didn't know the details of the other party, and his natural caution made him wary of the visitor: "Are you?" ”

"I'm from His Royal Highness King Li, I've seen two people in the restaurant before, and I guess they don't know me." The person who came put on a smiling face, and after revealing his identity, he turned his head and asked the officials guarding the city gate what mistakes these two had made and why they stopped them? “

It is estimated that the status of the person in front of him is not low, otherwise the two officials who were bullying just now would not have nodded and made a welcoming appearance.

"These two wanted to go to Beijing to visit relatives, but they didn't bring customs clearance papers, so the little ones didn't dare to let them go."

"You really don't know Mount Tai, these two nobles are not someone else who went to Beijing to visit relatives, but His Royal Highness King Li, and delaying His Royal Highness King Li's affairs will be severely punished!"

The faces of several officials changed greatly, and they quickly apologized with their faces lowered: "We didn't know that these two were from His Royal Highness King Li....."

The person who helped the speaker snorted, flicked his sleeves and said, "Now let people go, maybe His Royal Highness King Liwang will be generous and not care about you." ”

He has already said this, where is the reason for several officials not to let go?

Shen Ya and Ruqing entered the capital like this.

Somehow, looking at this strange person, Shen Ya always had an uneasy feeling in his heart: "Dare to ask your lord, where are you going to take us now?" ”

"Where else can I go, of course it is the residence of His Royal Highness King Li, just now I told them that the two of them are guests of His Royal Highness King Li, and they want to act in the end?" The man smiled, and there always seemed to be a deep meaning in his expression, "Don't worry, after you arrive at the mansion of King Li, we will naturally order someone to inform Mrs. Lu, presumably she will definitely come to pick up people in person after she knows that the two of you are in the mansion." ”

This one is really right, I heard that Shen Ya and Ruqing were almost detained when they entered the city, and later they were rescued by King Li, An Xia Bai couldn't sit still, and rushed to King Li's mansion overnight, in order to take people to the Lu family.

But after she was welcomed into the door with a thank you gift, the first person she saw was not King Li, but a few strong guards, who came over and divided five by two, and detained An Xiabai.

An Xiabai was shocked in her heart, but her face did not change: "What do you mean by this?" ”

The old housekeeper bowed and said respectfully: "We can't do anything about today's matter, and I ask Mrs. Lu to forgive me and stay in the house for a few days." ”

An Xiabai immediately understood that these people were deliberately using the safety of Shen Ya and Ruqing to lure themselves, and then detain themselves, maybe they wanted to use her to threaten their husband, thinking of this, she was flustered in her heart, but she had to keep calm on her face: "Shen Ya and Ruqing, where are they now?" ”

"His Royal Highness has instructed Mrs. Xu Lu to meet with those two guests, and the old slave will take Mrs. Lu over."
