Section 20 Waiting for Yao's return

"Good boy, Xi Niangniang didn't mean to blame you," Yang saw that Wen Ziwu was still the same as always, and he was very respectful and explained again and again in his words, so he temporarily dispelled his dissatisfaction with him in his heart, and stretched out his hand to pull him over like a mother, "Your father is sick, and everything in the previous dynasty still depends on you, Xi Niangniang is a woman, even if she is in charge of the six palaces, she can't do anything, it's too late to care about you, how can I blame you?" Xi Niangniang just felt that these little witches were all young women, and they were always a little relieved to be around your father all day long - by the way, come and see if your father's face is more ruddy?"

"It seems to be. ”

"Really, that's great, Amitabha, I'll go to the Great Ci'an Hall in a while to pray for your father's blessing. ”

......

The little eunuch who cooked tea on the steps below also seemed to concentrate on cooking tea, reflecting a delicate face in the golden and bright tea soup, but the depth in his eyes that did not match his immature face was deeply hidden under the lowered eyelids. Taking advantage of no one's attention, he quietly glanced at the little witch who had almost "touched" the prince just now, the face he was all too familiar with, the bright eyes that had always shone brightly, and at the moment he was staring blankly at the carpet in front of her, like a porcelain doll without a soul. The little eunuch smiled slightly, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "Yao Jin." ”

And at this moment, Zhao Yu, who received the decree of the Emperor of the Li Dynasty, faced Wei Yan and Wang Xiang, who had just returned from the west, and the ants on the hot pot generally circled around in the secret room of the Zhao Mansion in Caiyun City, "What should I do, what should I do! Her Royal Highness the princess has not found it yet, and His Majesty's holy decree has allowed her to enter Beijing within ten days to be sealed, what should I do!"

Wei Yan didn't speak, his face became more angular because of the baptism of war, the once clear and gentle young man seemed to have more precipitation, his hand always held the sword at his waist, as if he was going to kill the enemy at any time, seeing Zhao Yu's anxious face, Wei Yan turned his face to look at Wang Xiang next to him, and asked, "What do you have in mind?"

Wang Xiang didn't seem to have changed at all, he still looked like a slightly dull scholar, he bowed down to Zhao Yu and Wei Yan according to the rules, and then said slowly: "Lord Zhao, Wei Gongzi, His Royal Highness Princess Wang Xiangmeng and the twoβ€”β€”"

"Oh, I said Xianggong Wang, Mr. Wang, you and I have known each other for a few days, and there is no need to be so rigid about etiquette! Zhao Yu is most afraid of Wang Xiang's set, and he always has to talk about a bunch of ancients before the topic, and he doesn't know how Yao Jin fell in love with such a talent, and how can he provoke the war of the twenty-four tribes of the Hu clan with a single tongue.

"Yes, Lord Zhao, that little student will be blunt. Wang Xiang still looked at him, cleared his throat, and spit out a word lightly, "Drag." ”

"What? what?" Zhao Yu blinked his eyes wide, and looked at Wei Yan on the side in confusion, "Wei Gongzi, what does he mean?"

Wei Yan was also stunned, but immediately understood, and after a little thought, he nodded and said: "Mr. Xiang is right, the current situation, we have accepted the will of His Majesty in Beijing, and we should have entered Beijing as soon as possible to receive the seal according to the holy decree, but under what circumstances was Your Majesty's holy decree written, and was it your Majesty's willingness? We all know this, so even if the princess responds quickly and enters Beijing to be sealed soon, Your Majesty may not like to hear it." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu also came to his senses a little, and took over the words: "That's right, even if the princess doesn't rush into Beijing within ten days, Your Majesty won't blame us just because of this, maybe Your Majesty wishes that the princess wouldn't be sealed so quickly, and the dust won't settle so quicklyβ€”β€”"

"So the matter of entering Beijing can be delayed, but the matter of finding Her Royal Highness the princess cannot be delayed. Wang Xiang frowned suddenly, "With the connections of nine cities and one river, as well as the relationship between Wei Gongzi and Jingzhong, there is no news of Her Royal Highness the princess at all?"

Zhao Yu paced back and forth in the house, "Speaking of this matter, it is called strange, there is no trace of it, not even a trace of the corner of the clothes, as if those two people disappeared out of thin air and did not fall to the bottom of the cliff at all! How many times have I checked the downstream and bank of the river at the bottom of the cliff, and even the bottom of the valley, but I still can't find anything!"

"Disappear out of thin air?" Wang Xiang's heart moved, "How can people live in the world without traces, if they don't check carefully, someone deliberately does it, and doesn't want us to find their tracesβ€”β€”"

"What?" Zhao Yu and Wei Yan blurted out at the same time, and Liu Xiaolong's hurried voice also sounded outside the door: "My lord, there is news of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Wei Yan rushed over to open the door with an arrow step, and saw Liu Xiaolong holding a crumpled piece of butter paper full of medicinal smell with a happy face, on which a line of words was written: Peace, wait for Yao's return.

Wang Xiang was the first to see the words "Jiangmen Pharmacy" printed in red on the other side of the paper, and immediately asked: "This is sent by Jiangmen Pharmacy?"

"It's not. Today, the subordinates went to the Jiangmen pharmacy in the city to take some ordinary medicinal materials, the shopkeeper was a stingy person, today somehow generous, and sent a bag of ginseng, which was wrapped in this piece of paper, and took special care that it was for the nourishment of Her Royal Highness the princess, which was a little bit of Jiangmen's filial piety!

"It's not her words," Wei Yan looked at the piece of paper again and again, "If she wrote it herself, she wouldn't be so clueless." ”

Zhao Yu immediately said: "Hurry up and bring that shopkeeper!

"Yes!" Liu Xiaolong was about to retreat, but Wang Xiang said loudly: "Wait." ”

"How?"

"As far as Xiao Sheng knows, this Jiangmen Pharmacy is the livelihood of the Jiang family of the Min Kingdom, and the Jiang family and the royal family of the Min Kingdom are very close to His Royal Highness Murong San, to be precise, may I ask Lord Zhao, is this so?"

Zhao Yu was stunned and nodded slowly, "That's right, Jiang Yingyue, the eldest lady of the Jiang family and the only heir of the Jiang family, is Murong Zihua's side concubine." ”

"Murong Zihua...... That's hers, it's her husband. When Wei Yan spit out the last two words, there was a slight tingle in his heart, but he quickly raised his head, "There is no doubt that this news came from Murong Zihua, he must have known or found her." ”

"However, this Third Highness Murong sent us a message in this way, apparently only to tell us that Her Royal Highness the Princess is okay, and not to have any contact with us," the king saluted Zhao Yu, "and ask your Excellency not to send someone to summon the treasurer, but only to show him a little that we know the information on this paper." ”
