What is the prince still hesitating about? Zhiying could see that he had been persuaded by himself, but he couldn't make up his mind.

Cui Yi looked at her for a while, and said in a bitter voice: "Or, don't chase Huaiyou, if you really meet the forbidden army, you die, what's the point of me living?" ”

Hearing this naked love words, Zhiying's heart was hot, and he stepped forward and hugged him: "Don't talk nonsense, I won't die, I won't die until I see you on the throne." ”

Zhiying raised his head and looked at him seriously: "What good is it for the emperor to kill me?" Lingfang and I are sisters, she won't watch me die and not save me, so it's best for me to go back and chase after me, you take General Cao to Song County immediately, as long as you convince the Zhong family, everyone will not die. ”

At this time, Cao Qian also ran back: "Lord Wang! There is a family in the village with a mule! ”

At this point, there is no other choice, if Cao Qian is allowed to chase, in case it falls into the hands of Cui Jie, for the purpose of weakening Cui Yi, he will definitely immediately order Cao Qian to be executed, and the only person who may survive is Zhiying, the sister of the current queen. Cui Yi took a deep breath and made a painful decision: "Then listen to you, be careful on the road, when this king convinces the Zhong family, he will immediately turn back and save you." ”

The farmer brought the mule to the cart, Cui Yi helped Zhiying into the carriage, and shook her hand reluctantly: "Take care!" ”

"So are you." Chi Ying also shook his hand back.

Cui Yi gave the farmer a tael of silver, and asked him to take Ying all the way to the destination and then pick it up, the farmer didn't know their identity, and when he saw the silver, he agreed with a smile.

When the carriage was on the road, Cao Qian bent his head and said, "When Prince Jing got off the car last night, he said to release water...... The last general will be negligent for ......"

"Got it, I'll punish you when this time is over." Cui Yi's face was like a frost cover, and he turned around and walked in the direction of Song County.

The speed of the mule cart is not too slow, but there are too many things in my heart, so I always feel slow, Zhiying is uneasy in the carriage, and I have to try to calm down and think about how to escape by myself in case I really meet the forbidden army to chase, and how to escape if I stop Cui Xiang, the more I think about it, the more I feel that it is a mess, and I am going crazy.

Cui Xiang is the youngest surviving son of the late Emperor Jianyuan, most of the younger brothers born later died, and those who survived did not wait until the age of six to officially take their names, and also died in the palace struggle one after another, as a young child, Concubine Duan became Cui Yi's nominal mother concubine, Cui Xiang needs to do just a good son, a good brother, knowing more is a danger to him, but it also leads to his lack of some ability to judge things, which will happen Cui Yi easily took him out of Longtan, and he himself ran back stupidly.

Zhiying was not sure that she could persuade this tenacious uncle, in fact, after Cui Xiang escaped back halfway, it was the wisest decision to give up their mother and son, but she knew that Cui Yi couldn't do it, if he saw his mother and younger brother die and did nothing, even if he became the emperor in the future, he would not be happy.

No matter what, we must save people back, at least Cui Xiang.

And Cui Xiang at this time, what is ironic is that he is lost! The Seventh Prince, who had never been out of the house alone when he was so big, couldn't find his way back to the capital, and after making a mistake at a fatal fork in the road, he rode a horse without a saddle and went farther and farther away from the capital!

Zhiying looked anxiously all the way, and asked whenever he met people, but no one had seen him, and he was about to return to the foot of Drunken Butterfly Mountain.

Zhiying couldn't help but be confused, could it be that he was walking too fast and left him halfway? Or has Cui Xiang been arrested, and the forbidden army is waiting for them to come back to save people?

The farmer parked the carriage on the side of the road a little distance from the inventory site, and waited patiently for a while, but he didn't expect that it was not Cui Xiang who was waiting, but a group of monks.

More than a dozen monks followed behind the abbot in a big red robe, accepted the interrogation, and then hiked up the Drunken Butterfly Mountain, and Zhiying looked at it for a long time before he realized that someone had died on the mountain.

The funeral custom of Dachu is usually to ask the monks to do the law on the first day, clean the body into the coffin on the second day, stop in the mourning hall for seven days, and then seal the coffin and bury. The person who can invite more than a dozen monks and even the abbot to come must be a person with a very high position, and an ominous thought popped up in Zhiying's heart - could it be the Ye family?

But thinking back to her mental strength yesterday, she didn't feel like a person who disappeared overnight, it was probably Cui Jie who chased them and couldn't find them, and sprinkled his anger on Ye's head. Ye has been sick for more than a year, even if he is said to be sick and dead, no one will doubt it.

The farmer asked, "Madame, do you want to go on?" It looks like something big is wrong. ”

Zhiying thought for a while and replied, "Let's go to the city, if someone interrogates me in a while, they will say that I am your daughter, and I will go to the city to see a doctor when I am sick, do you know?" ”

The farmer took her another sum of money and drove slowly towards her.

The forbidden army under the Drunken Butterfly Mountain said that there were 10,000 people, and when they saw a vehicle coming, they immediately came forward and asked: "What kind of person!" Open the door! ”

The farmer did as he said, and as the team opened the door, there was indeed a young girl lying inside, with unkempt hair and a face that was not very good-looking, and she twitched from time to time, as if she was really sick. Since he couldn't openly say that it was his brother Wuwang who was going to be arrested, Cui Jie could only tell the forbidden army to stop all the young men and women who were in pairs, and the farmer was already forty or fifty years old, so he really didn't meet the conditions, and no one thought that Zhiying would return to the capital alone, so he successfully mixed up.

After entering the city, Zhiying told the farmer to wait at the inn, and he went to the street.

The eldest grandson Tai is the Taifu, the father-in-law of the current saint, and the eldest grandson's family is also considered to be above the status of tens of millions of people in the capital, but Zhiying is just an abandoned daughter, and when she comes back, she has no relatives, and she doesn't even know who to go to.

It's absolutely impossible to go home, the former girlfriends are now Cui Jie's courtiers' wives, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be betrayed, Zhiying thought about it again and again, and finally decided to go to Cheng Mansion to try, anyway, Cui Jie sacrificed Cheng Fengyi in exchange for peace, and he is already Cheng Hu and Zhai Rang's enemies, even if they can't help, at least they won't sell her.

Cheng Fu is still there, but the door is already full, and when the housekeeper opened the door and saw that it was her, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down, hurriedly let people in the door, and asked someone to inform Cheng Hu. Zhiying followed the housekeeper into the main hall and asked, "Is Cheng Lao okay?" What about Shu Jin? ”

The housekeeper sighed and replied: "Miss is leaving, the master's body is getting worse day by day, his hair is all white, and my uncle has also resigned from the official position and is doing business with people outside, and the emperor has rewarded a lot of things as compensation, but the people are gone, what is the use of more gold and silver!" ”

Zhiying was also sad in her heart, and was about to say something, when Cheng Hu came with the support of her subordinates.

I haven't seen him for a year, Cheng Hu is obviously old, although he used to have gray hair, but he is in good spirits, old and not tired, but at this moment the old man standing in front of Zhiying is trembling, his hair is white, and his face is gray, like a piece of rotten wood, which will be broken into powder at any time.

Cheng Hu was on crutches in his hand and arched his hand at her: "Don't come to harm, princess?" ”

Zhiying felt sad when she looked at him like this, and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "I'm fine, Cheng Lao doesn't need to be polite, sit down and talk." ”

After the two sat down, Zhiying said the reason for his return, Cheng Hu was not in good spirits, and said in a tired voice: "The old man has also heard the news of Brother Ling marrying the Tang family, but he doesn't know the inside story. ”

Zhiying hurriedly said: "No, I just stopped by to visit you." ”

Cheng Hu's thin face moved, and he said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, after listening to the old man, the old man is already a useless person, but Zicheng still has contacts with several scholars in the Hanlin Academy, and the old man will ask him to come back." ”

Zhiying felt ashamed in her heart and thanked her in a low voice.

Cheng Hu coughed from time to time, every time he seemed to cough out his lungs together, Zhiying looked really worried, so he asked: "How long has Cheng Lao been sick, have you seen a doctor?" What kind of medicine to take? ”

The maid on the side replied: "The old man has been sick for several months, and the good doctors in the capital have been invited to see him, and he has taken more than a dozen pairs of medicines, but there is no improvement." Alas, if ......" though there is still a follow-up, it is very wise not to say it.

If Madame or Miss had been there, it probably wouldn't have been delayed for so long—the maid wanted to speak, and Zhiying understood it in her heart, and she couldn't bear to reveal their scars, so she said, "Let me see?" ”

Medicine Wang Kang's medical skills are unparalleled in the world, Ma learned eight or nine percent of him, but unfortunately he died early, and he passed on to his daughter only six or seven percent, and then followed Cheng Fengyi to learn a lesson, and mastered one or two percent, but what is valuable is that she remembered many prescriptions, cut the pulse for Cheng Hu, and asked the maid about some of the daily symptoms, and wrote a prescription with her memory, and handed it to the maid to grab the medicine.

At this time, Zhai Rang also rushed back, and when he entered the door, he saw Zhiying and took a big step back: "Why is the princess here?" Zhiying said what he had just said to Cheng Hu again, Zhai Rang nodded in surprise and suspicion after hearing it, and sighed: "The emperor really couldn't hold it back, I thought that I could send the prince to Yanzhou once and for all, but who knew that he let the tiger return to the mountain and made a big mistake." ”

"It's not too late for the emperor to realize that he was wrong, but it's a pity that it's not a good thing for us," said Zhiying Junyan, "Prince Jing left us halfway and fled back, I chased all the way but didn't see his shadow, most of them were caught back by the forbidden army, I passed under the drunken butterfly mountain, and I saw the abbot of the Yuanju Temple leading more than a dozen monks up the mountain, and Concubine Heqing may have been murdered." ”

Zhai Rang was shocked again: "The concubine is also ......"

Cheng Hu patted his thigh vigorously and said bitterly: "When the first emperor was alive, I once said that the prince was too scheming and too small, and if he inherited the unification one day, he would definitely set off a bloody storm among his brothers, but the first emperor didn't believe me and insisted on passing the throne to the emperor." Now that the three kings and four kings have died tragically one after another, even if the first emperor comes back to life, it will be too late to regret it! ”

Zhai Rang thought for a while, and said to Zhiying: "If the princess doesn't dislike it, she can stay in our mansion for the time being, and I will try to inquire about the whereabouts of the Seventh Prince." ”

"There's Brother Lao Zhai." Zhiying [Zongheng] thanked him gratefully, and Zhai Rang didn't even drink a sip of water, and immediately went out again.
