Chapter 30: Victory, the carriage falls off the cliff
The king of Zhennan defeated the northern barbarians, and the class returned to the dynasty.
The emperor was overjoyed, opened the city gate, and led hundreds of officials out of Beijing for ten miles to greet him.
Princess Xu of Zhennan still guarded the Buddhist hall, and Aunt Gu led everyone in the palace to follow and go out of Beijing.
The carriage stopped outside the palace early, and under the extravagance, Ling Chuchu's simple and dilapidated carriage was extremely conspicuous.
Aunt Gu led the people slowly, and when she walked to Ling Chuchu's side, she snorted disdainfully: "Since the county lord likes his own things so much, it's not easy for me to say anything as an aunt, but if the prince asks later, you must make it clear, lest I say that I have scolded you." ”
His eyes circled up and down the carriage several times, and finally shrugged his shoulders and walked to the front.
The rest of the aunts and ladies got into the carriage one after another, but Ling Chuchu took two steps back slightly, and carefully checked from the front of the car to the tail of the team, making sure that he didn't see the one from yesterday, so he took Yuan Qin's hand and got into the lane: "Blatantly framed, did she really take me for a fool?" ”
The procession stopped on both sides of the street, and the emperor's sedan chair had not yet left the palace and did not dare to march.
Ling Chuchu lifted the corner of the curtain slightly and said, "You go back and check the carriage from yesterday." ”
Yuan Qin took advantage of the chaos to blend into the crowd and returned to the palace.
Ling Chuchu was reclining in the sedan chair, and as soon as he heard the gong outside to open the way, he opened the curtain and saw the emperor's guard of honor coming slowly, followed by Yuan Qin's panting face, "Miss......"
"How?"
As soon as Ling Chuchu pulled Yuan Qin into the carriage, the whole team slowly moved into action, Yuan Qin calmed down a little, and said, "The axle of the carriage was sawed off in half. ”
Ling Chuchu's fingers tapped uneasily on the tabletop.
Aunt Gu sawed off the axle just to make her lose face in front of everyone, and now she forcibly changed back to her car, and Aunt Gu's words in the morning ......
Not good!
The procession had been merged with the Emperor's guard of honor, and it could not be stopped at will.
She directly opened the sedan curtain, lay down where the coachman was sitting, ordered Yuanqin to pull herself, and bent down to look at the axle herself.
No problem?
Ling Chuchu couldn't believe his eyes, and carefully checked other places again, but he didn't find any traces of anyone touching his hands and feet.
The coachman looked at her nervous appearance and said, "Don't worry, the county lord will carefully check every time before driving, no problem!" ”
The coachman was still the same as usual.
Ling Chuchu patted the dust off his body and said, "Are you sure the carriage is fine?" ”
The coachman nodded, "Follow the emperor's support today, if something happens, it will be a head, the slave has checked it three times before and after, to ensure that there is no problem!" ”
Ling Chuchu glared at him, "Okay, I'll believe you." ”
She rubbed the ashes all over her body, Yuan Qin dusted it with a dry handkerchief first, and then wiped the dirty place with water, and said: "Miss, just let the slave and maid come to these things, and you will meet the saint and the prince later, if the clothes are dirty, won't you lose face." ”
Ling Chuchu hung his head.
subconsciously asked Yuan Qin to tidy herself up, but she didn't listen to a word at all.
Aunt Gu has always wanted her life, how could she let go of such a good opportunity today?
All the way without incident, until the guard of honor stopped.
Everyone got out of the car to repair and waited for the army to return to Beijing.
Ling Lan deliberately waited beside Ling Chuchu's carriage and said, "I don't know what my sister is stubborn about, so she insists on coming out of this tattered sitting." ”
raised his chin in the direction of the guards, and then said: "I just heard from the people over there that the palace abused you, the county lord, I think you are deliberate, you want the palace and my mother to not be able to raise their heads in the capital!" ”
"yes, I did it on purpose." Ling Chuchu picked a good position and sat down, stared at Ling Lan's eyes and said, "Dad wants to be good to me when he comes back?" No way! I told you a long time ago, don't mess with me, I will take revenge if I have revenge, but you don't listen. Then I can only tell my father 1510 and let my father punish you. ”
Surrounded by guards.
Ling Lan shouted "you" first, feeling that the mood was not right, and it was easy to attract attention, so she hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "There are so many people today, we are losing the face of the palace when we make trouble, don't come nonsense!" ”
"It's you who want to come here, not me...... Ling Chuchu grabbed Ling Lan's shoulder and approached him, and whispered: "Good sister, tell me, what do you want to do after sawing off the axle?" Don't tell me I'm going to throw it away in the kitchen and burn it for firewood. ”
Ling Lan's pupils gradually dilated, and she pushed Ling Chuchu away suddenly, touching her throat and coughing, "You...... Don't spew blood. ”
Ling Chuchu was eating the pastries leisurely, but his voice was as cold as ice: "I warn you not to mess around, otherwise, I promise to pull you as a backstop!" ”
Ling Lan pretended to be calm, but the pace of leaving became faster and faster, until Aunt Gu was still panting for breath beside her, Aunt Gu looked at it and was extremely distressed: "I know that I am not in good health, why are I running?" ”
Ling Lan clutched Aunt Gu's sleeve, the chill in her eyes made people shiver uncontrollably, "Die, she must die!" ”
"The little slut knows that we sawed the axle, if we don't die, when Dad returns home, we will all be finished."
"No wonder she refused to get into the carriage outside the cell door yesterday, it turned out that she had taken precautions." Aunt Gu's eyes flashed with panic, and she hurriedly beckoned Mama Liu to come and explain.
Mama Liu said: "Miss Madam, don't worry, the slave maid has already done it properly, and I promise not to leave a trace." ”
In the distance, the voice of the army was heard.
The palace slaves came to remind everyone that Aunt Gu first arranged Ling Lan's hair bun, and then stood in the most conspicuous position holding hands, and said, "Cheer up, the prince loves you the most, and when he sees you at first sight, he will definitely be very happy." ”
Ling Chuchu stood behind the two of them.
She sneered in her heart: "Foolproof, you are too confident.
The emperor personally greeted the king of Zhennan to dismount, and everyone knelt: "Welcome the prince to return to the dynasty victoriously." ”
This is a rare honor in a hundred years, Ling Hongyuan, the king of Zhennan, just got off the horse and hurriedly saluted the emperor and handed over part of the military power, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live-"
This was the first time Ling Chuchu had seen his father since he crossed over.
He had dark skin, white hair on his forehead, and his armor was worn out and covered with sword marks.
Her ears were full of praise, but her heart hurt as if she had seen Princess Zhennan for the first time, as if something was buried in the deepest part of her mind, but she couldn't think of it.
The honor guard returned to Beijing.
Ling Chuchu followed behind Ling Lan, intending to get into the same carriage, Ling Lan stood on the carriage, desperately stopped, and asked, "Eldest sister, what are you doing here?" ”
One was in the carriage and one was under the carriage.
Ling Chuchu raised his head and said with a smile: "I said, if you want to touch me, I will stop you from being a backpad." ”
"What do you mean?"
She pushed Ling Lan away violently, broke into the carriage and found a comfortable position to sit down, and said, "Didn't Mama Liu say that it would be foolproof to kill me?" I'm going to stay by your side today, but I'm going to see how she's safe now! ”
"You...... Bummer! The team in front of her had already moved, Ling Lan was in a dilemma, and the maid whispered: "Miss, why don't we go to Madame's place and squeeze it?" ”
Ling Chuchu grabbed the corner of Ling Lan's skirt and said with a smile: "Good sister, where are you going?" ”
Ling Lan replied, "Since my sister likes this carriage, my sister will give it to you." ”
The voice fell, and he walked out.
She stopped Ling Lan and leaned on Ling Lan's shoulder, her voice was not loud, but she ensured that the guards around her could hear her, and she said, "What did my sister do badly, didn't my sister even want to accompany me to say a word?" ”
His elbow quietly clasped Ling Lan's neck, and he gritted his teeth: "Obedient, as long as I return to the palace safe and sound, I promise not to move you." Otherwise...... Anyway, you want my life, I don't mind making a fuss now, it's a big deal. ”
Ling Lan was breathing rapidly, but her desire to leave was suddenly not so strong, and she followed Ling Chuchu back to the carriage step by step, "Let go...... Let go ......"
As soon as Ling Lan sat down, she had a heart attack, and she took all the pills she brought with her to recover, and the personal slave was called away by taking the opportunity, saying that she was going to Aunt Gu to get the medicine, but in fact, she was going to ventilate and report the news.
Ling Lan said: "With me here, are you relieved?" ”
Ling Chuchu just picked up the teacup, put it back on the small table, took the tea lid and tapped it again and again, and said, "What kind of heart?" As long as I don't go back to the palace, I don't feel at ease. ”
With a look, Yuan Qin found a finger-thick hemp rope from somewhere, and directly tied Ling Lan.
Ling Lan struggled desperately, after all, her health was not good, and the maid was not there, so she was tied up into a piece of tofu with almost no resistance, and said sharply: "Ling Chuchu, my mother is different from your mother, your mother wants you to die, but my mother holds me on the tip of her heart, and she is reluctant to let me be hurt at all." Now that you and I are in a carriage, she will definitely not do anything, you let me go! ”
Seeing that Ling Chuchu didn't speak, Ling Lan continued to struggle, and the carriage was unstable, and with a "bang", it fell to the ground.
Ling Lan's tone of voice finally softened, with the meaning of begging for mercy, and said, "Eldest sister, please, let me go, if I get sick like this, it will be easy to die, eldest sister......"
"I don't have any medicine, don't I have a mouth yet?" Ling Chuchu lowered his eyes and looked over, "Don't worry, as long as I shout, Aunt Gu promises to send the medicine over." ”
At this moment, the carriage suddenly moved.
Ling Chuchu grabbed the window of the car before sitting firmly in front of him, and saw Ling Lan rolling out of the carriage, stepping on the rope with one foot, clutching it in his hand, looking at Ling Lan viciously, and said, "Didn't you say that your mother would definitely not do it?!" ”
Ling Lan was obviously panicked, "I don't know, you let me go, I don't want to die, I don't want to die......"
The horse was frightened and dragged the two on a rampage through the group, and the groom had long since abandoned the car and fled, and disappeared.
Seeing this, he rushed off the cliff, Ling Chuchu stood up suddenly, lifted the curtain, and jumped with Yuan Qin.
At this moment, Ling Lan, who was bound and couldn't move, didn't know where the strength came from, so she broke free with one hand and grabbed Ling Chuchu's right leg.
Both fell off the cliff at the same time.
