Chapter 68: Farewell
(Ask for collection and recommendation)
Zhang Shiyu looked serious, "Follow me." ”
"The emperor wants to see people whipped again?"
"You never knew to be afraid, did you?" Zhang Shiyu looked surprised.
"My fears were tasted carefully when I was alone, and it tasted like chewing wax and being spit out."
Zhang Shiyu laughed and immediately put on a straight face, "Let's go out first." ”
There were no guards outside the door, Zhang Shiyu took the building around the corner, and soon came to another room, "Change your clothes." He pointed to a mass on the table.
There was no light in the house, so Lou Ji picked up his clothes and identified, "This is the clothes of the eunuchs in the palace." ”
"You can't leave the palace like this, can you?"
"Out of the palace?"
"Change your clothes, now is not the time for small talk."
In any case, it is better to have a glimmer of hope than to stay in the palace and wait for death, Lou Ji quickly changed into new clothes, rolled up the old clothes, and held them in his arms.
The two went out again, turned a few more corners, and came to a carriage, Zhang Shiyu let Lou Ji get into the car, and advised: "Don't make a sound, if someone asks outside, you just pretend not to be there, and I will deal with everything." ”
Lou Ji nodded in agreement, climbed into the carriage, groped around, found a comfortable place to sit down, and began to wonder which Yu Shizi was playing again.
This time, the wait was relatively long, and it took about half an hour before the vehicle finally moved.
By the time the carriage stopped, it was already faintly lit outside.
Someone lifted the curtain, someone got into the car, and the building base held its breath, because the person who got into the car was not Zhang Shiyu.
The carriage was on the road again, and Zhang Shiqing sat opposite, as far away from the building as possible, and said coldly: "Don't talk to me." ”
Lou Ji didn't speak, so he mumbled.
The two were silent.
The carriage stopped and went, and was often interrogated, but Zhang Shiyu from the outside answered, and the journey went smoothly, only once, someone lifted the corner of the curtain and wanted to see the people inside, but Zhang Shiqing spat it open, and the person didn't see anything.
The noise outside gradually rose, it was really out of the imperial city, the sky was bright, and the carriage could be seen clearly, and the building base looked at the "wife" diagonally opposite several times, and finally didn't ask anything.
The carriage stopped for the last time, Zhang Shiqing jumped down, Zhang Shiyu lifted the curtain, and said happily: "Come out, brother-in-law." ”
Zhang Shiqing said: "Don't call him...... I don't like to hear it. ”
"But he is indeed a brother-in-law, you two have already visited the church, and you can't go back."
"Hmph, that's not allowed."
I got off the car and looked around, "This is the homecoming?" ”
"Well, I'll hide here for a while, and I'll send you out of the city in the afternoon."
"Wait, what the hell is going on?"
"Let my sister tell you, I have to go back to the palace immediately." Zhang Shiyu personally drove the car and had to go outside the park and hand it over to the coachman.
When there were only two people left, it seemed quite empty.
Zhang Shiqing turned around and entered the building, followed by the building, and asked, "...... you?"
Zhang Shiqing turned around, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and handed it to Lou Ji, "This is a letter of resignation for you." ”
Lou Ji took the paper and looked at it, sure enough, it was a letter of resignation, it was the lord of Fangde County who divorced her husband's Lou Ji, and the format of her husband's divorce was exactly the same, but the husband and wife were replaced, and the witnesses wrote Zhang Shiyu and Huanyan County Lord.
Lou Ji couldn't cry and laugh, and folded the paper, "This one is for me?" ”
"Yes, from now on, we will not be husband and wife."
"Okay, I wish the county lord a good luck as soon as possible."
"Hey, I'm not a person who hates the poor and loves the rich, the letter of resignation has been written a long time ago, and I just took it out today."
"Well, Yu Shizi and Lord Huanyan know about this?"
"I'll tell them later, anyway, there's no problem with taking a leave of absence."
There is a big problem with the resignation book, and it will not be recognized at all, and the building foundation does not argue, so he put the resignation book in his arms and said with a smile: "Okay, I accepted it, now can we talk about business?" ”
"It's also a matter of retiring. You change your clothes, I don't like this. ”
Zhang Shiyu stepped upstairs, quickly changed into old clothes, and followed upstairs.
Lou Ji remembered that he had lived in this room for one night, and Zhang Shiqing and other six royal daughters visited by boat, and after some inquiry, none of them wanted to marry him.
Zhang Shiqing sat by the window, looked at the water from afar, and muttered: "With so many things happening, I seem to be ten years old all of a sudden." ”
"Don't be afraid, you're still ten years old." The building base stood in the doorway.
"You're really involved...... Stabbing driver? Zhang Shiqing still looked at the water, and indeed looked a few years older.
"Well, I also stabbed the emperor in the stomach."
Zhang Shiqing was silent for a long time, "I should hate you, the emperor is the best for us, but I just can't hate it, it has nothing to do with you, but the emperor...... He scared me a little bit. ”
"After Duan Shizi's death, everyone was scared."
"No, I was a little scared until then. In front of the emperor, I was ordered to drink and play, just to please the emperor, I didn't feel it at the time, but when I thought about it afterwards, I realized that it was all pretended, I like to drink and play, but I don't like to drink too much and play too crazy. ”
"In front of the emperor, no one dares to tell the truth, let alone show his true temperament."
Zhang Shiqing lay on the windowsill, seemed to be sobbing, straightened up after a while, and said: "But I miss Your Majesty, and there is always a feeling that the sky is falling in my heart." ”
Lou Ji had nothing to say, so he could only hum twice, waited for a while, and asked, "Who wants to let me out?" ”
Zhang Shiqing turned around on the stool and glared at the building, "The sins you committed should be punished with a thousand knives, but someone just wants to protect you." After a pause, she softened her tone slightly, "It's Lord Huanyan, she doesn't know how to persuade the Empress Dowager, she thinks it will be more beneficial to the court to let you out temporarily." ”
"Huanyan...... Princess? Lou Ji was shocked, he didn't expect it to be her, and he couldn't imagine how she could persuade the Empress Dowager to give up the revenge of killing her son.
"Well, you two are so well matched, why don't you let her marry you?"
"I am a gentleman's friend with Lord Huanyan."
Zhang Shiqing pursed his lips, not believing it at all, "That's it, Lord Huanyan saved your life, my brother and I sent you out of the palace and out of the city, from now on, we will be cut in two, and we will be strangers when we meet again." ”
"I don't think we'll see each other again." Lou Ji muttered, vaguely guessing how Huan Yan persuaded the Empress Dowager.
"That's the best, you are the thief who assassinates, I am the daughter of the king of Jibei and the niece of the emperor, so let's be an enemy in the future."
"Okay."
Zhang Shiqing turned around abruptly, "It's boring, it's really boring." ”
I couldn't ask anything from Zhang Shiqing, so I simply went downstairs.
The servants who returned to the garden were all sent away, and there was no water or food, so the building could only endure.
Shortly after noon, Zhang Shiyu arrived on horseback alone, and after entering the building, he asked, "Where is my sister?" ”
The building base refers to the upstairs, and Zhang Shiqing has never come down.
"Brother-in-law, don't pay attention to her, she's still a child." Zhang Shiyu is only fourteen years old, but he seems to be much older than his sister.
"You told the King of Jibei everything?" Lou Ji asked.
Zhang Shiyu's face turned red, it was indeed he who leaked the truth, and the king of Jibei reported it to the empress dowager, which led to a series of arrests later, "Father saw it......"
"It's okay, it won't be hidden for long. The little emperor is bent on revenge, and the Liang family wants to take the opportunity of revenge to purge the court, and sooner or later this day will be inevitable. ”
"I thought the general would leave you outside the city, just like ......" like the king of Jibei to protect his own son.
"The Lou family has many children and grandchildren. How did Lord Huanyan convince the Empress Dowager? ”
"Didn't my sister say that? That's the case, Huan Yan said that the new emperor had just ascended the throne, and the execution of the son of the general would arouse the suspicion of the people of the world. It is better to put your brother-in-law on the rivers and lakes first, let him drift away, and after the court is stable, he can be caught by issuing a paper edict. ”
"The Empress Dowager was so convinced?"
"It's not so easy, the Empress Dowager asked the general's wife for her opinion, and the lady said that the general would never doubt the court, but the people love to spread nonsense, and they don't know what to say. The Empress Dowager also found Liang Taifu and Liang Xima, and these two also said that the assassination had already implicated the eldest princess, and it was not appropriate to expand it again. So ......"
"Doesn't the Empress Dowager know what I've done?"
Zhang Shiyu shook his head, "I don't know, the emperor in the palace was still killed by the assassins of the Liang Kingdom, and my brother-in-law was just involved in it." ”
Once the truth is investigated, Zhang Shiyu can't escape the suspicion, and the king of Jibei has obviously regained power, and has done a lot to keep his son, and by the way, he also helped Lou Ji.
Only Shao Junqian was unlucky, tied up with the eldest princess, and no one rescued her.
Lou Ji still felt strange, but he couldn't ask anything from Zhang Shiyu, "When can I go out of the city?" ”
"Wait a little longer, Aunt Huanyan hasn't arrived yet."
Although he knew that Huan Yan was of a higher seniority, he suddenly heard Zhang Shiyu call her "aunt", and Lou Ji was still stunned.
It didn't take long for Huan Yan to arrive, and he also entered the garden alone, and went straight to the small building by the water, and after coming in, he shook his head first, "You two ......"
Zhang Shiyu's face was red, the building was infected, and he also felt that his face was hot, so he stepped forward and said, "The county lord is gracious......
"Don't thank me, the person who saved you is not me, it's the general, he insists on leaving you a way to live, Mrs. Liang and Liang Xima can't help it, you will inevitably implicate the general, and you can't be justified if you don't interrogate. Once you are in the palace, all confessions must be made public, so they would rather let you escape first, and then punish you later when they need to. ”
The truth is this, if it weren't for Huan Yan who spoke first, no one would dare to make such a suggestion.
Lou Ji thanked him deeply, and no longer guessed the intentions of the general and Mrs. Lan.
Huan Yan dodged, "I also have a little selfishness, the world is dim, the chaos will rise, the seventeenth prince will go to merge with the state, if you have a grand plan, don't forget the difference today." ”
"Brother-in-law is going to merge with the state?" Zhang Shiyu asked in surprise.
Lou Ji nodded, of course he wanted to go to the state, but he could only go to the state.
Zhang Shiqing didn't know when he came out, stood in the middle of the stairs, and interjected: "The county lord of Huanyan always can't think about it, and he hangs the words on his lips every day, and there are many elite soldiers in the Tiancheng Dynasty, and he is afraid that a group of chaotic people will not succeed?" Actually, I understand that you just want to find an excuse to help Lou Seventeen. ”
Huan Yan's face was also a little red, Zhang Shiqing turned upstairs and said loudly: "I don't want him to remember, we said that we will not meet again in the future." ”
Zhang Shiyu said embarrassedly: "Brother-in-law, don't care, my sister is young and can't speak." ”
"I don't care, will I go?"
Huan Yan just came to say goodbye and sent some gifts, Zhang Shiqing couldn't go out of the city casually, Zhang Shiyu took the building to get on the car, and sent it to the Shili Pavilion outside the city, leaving a good horse, and said goodbye, "I don't understand the general trend of the world, it may be chaotic, or it may not, the farther my brother-in-law goes, the better, and the Shen family may not be safe." ”
Lou Ji thanked him, turned over his horse, glanced at the eastern capital, glanced at the general direction of the post station, and rode on the road, all he thought about was his mother, Princess Wuguo.
She said: "You are my son, you are not surnamed Lou, you should be surnamed Xu...... We are all Wu people! ”
