106 on the eve of the storm
Rong Jin took Xingxue's freshly brewed hot tea, put it in front of Yan Li, looked up and saw a faint tiredness between his eyebrows, and there was a faint dark green under his eyes, and asked softly, "Aunt Hong, is she okay?" ”
Yan Li shook his head, picked up the tea cup on the table, and took a shallow sip of hot tea before he spoke: "It's not a very powerful poison, relatively speaking, the injuries on the body are more severe." ”
When Rong Jin heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as there is no danger to life, it is a good thing!
"How can you get hurt?" Rong Jin asked puzzledly: "I heard Nanlou say that Uncle Chu was also there at the time, and it shouldn't be so easy to hurt them with the skills of the two of them, right?" ”
"I asked Uncle Chu and Aunt Hong, and they said that their whereabouts were leaked, and they were suddenly ambushed." Yan Li's good-looking brows twisted and said softly.
Ambush?!
Rong Jin shook his head, if it was an ambush, then the other party must first grasp their whereabouts, so that they could set up an ambush to kill! But...... Rong Jin couldn't help but think of the traitor that Yan Li said.
Is it a combination of the inside and the outside?
"How did you find out about that traitor?" Rong Jin looked at Yan Li and said softly, "If you don't find out this person, you don't know when he will come out and bite you." ”
Yan Li nodded, "I know, I was a little eyebrow before, but ......"
Rong Jin looked at Yan Li, "Do you have a suspicious object?" ”
"Yes, but after all, it must only be a suspicion, and without the most direct evidence that he is a traitor, I can't get rid of him, otherwise, it will chill the hearts of others." Yan Li said in a deep voice.
Rong Jin nodded, she couldn't understand this truth.
Although Yan Li has the absolute initiative, that doesn't mean that he can kill wantonly. On the contrary, the more power of life and death is grasped, the more carefully this power must be exercised. If you are not careful, people's hearts will be scattered! To paraphrase a very classic line, when people's hearts are scattered, it is not easy to bring!
"Then can you find a way to make a game to lure him in?" Rong Jin pondered and said, "It is impossible for him to have no flaws at all. ”
When Yan Li heard this, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, and said with a faint smile: "You are the same as I think, but at the moment, I think it's better to brake quietly, because I really can't understand why he betrayed me." I don't know what he wants from me! I can only do it if I first hold my ground and figure out what he wants! ”
Rong Jin nodded in agreement.
That's right, in a game, there must always be a bait that attracts people into the urn, without that bait, this game will not only not be set up, but I am afraid that it will also startle the snake!
"Okay, let's not talk about me." Yan Li looked at Rong Jin with gentle eyes, and asked softly, "How are things going on on your side?" ”
"It's going very well!" Rong Jin said with a smile: "Nanlou bought off the coachman named Lai Da, and he will send some news from time to time." said that on the day of Wang Zhen's wedding, Rong Fangfei had a stroke because of excessive joy! Lying on the bed, except for the ability to move his eyes, his body can no longer move. Princess Chen is also sitting on pins and needles every day, and from time to time she has to send someone to the waiting house to invite Wang Su into the mansion to discuss matters. ”
Looking at Rong Jin's eyes like two crescent moons, Yan Li suddenly felt that the fatigue of two days and one night of traveling disappeared in an instant! Nothing could be more important to him than to see this smiling face in front of him!
"But the day you left, I heard that Runan Hou went to King Chen's Mansion." Rong Jin stretched his chin and said with a suspicious expression: "I used to quietly hear Aunt Mulan, who was waiting for my mother, mention it and asked why my mother didn't agree to Runan Hou's marriage proposal in the first place. Was that Runan Hou also my mother's suitor? What did he go to Chenwangfu for? ”
Runan Hou?!
Yan Li was silent for a while, and said softly: "Runan Hou and Jiangcheng Hou are both imperial parties, and they are only loyal to the emperor in their lives. He went to King Chen's mansion, it shouldn't be for personal gain, it may be that there is something to discuss with King Chen. After a pause, he said with a humble face: "My mother didn't tell me about him and your mother, but if you want to know, I can ask Aunt Lan to investigate." ”
Rong Jin waved his hand, "The old emperor has a calendar, what is there to know." ”
Yan Li smiled, but he wrote down this matter in his heart, thinking about going back and asking Lan Ying to check it out and see what was going on with this Runan Hou.
"It's not early, you've traveled so much, you must be tired, go wash and rest, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Rong Jin whispered to Shang Yanli's blue and black eyes.
Yan Li wanted to say, "He's not tired", but thinking that he had been on the road for so long, and the clothes on his body hadn't changed, he was afraid that the smell was a little heavy, and he was smoky with Rong Jin. At that moment, he couldn't help blushing, got up and said, "Okay, then I'll go and freshen up first, you have something to ask your maid to come to me." ”
Rong Jin nodded, and said in his heart: This is about to be the third watch, what else can I find you!
got up and sent Yan Li away, and after returning to the house, Rong Jin fell asleep with his head next to the pillow.
Ruyido.
Yan Li walked out of the clean room with wet hair, and Lan Ying, who was waiting outside early in the morning, hurriedly took the clean handkerchief in his hand and stepped forward to wipe his hair.
"Aunt Lan, go and rest," Yan Li raised his hand to take the handkerchief in Lan Ying's hand, and raised his hand to wipe his hair, "I'll come by myself." ”
Lan Ying didn't look much better than Yan Li, and he also looked tired, but he refused Yan Li's suggestion, took the handkerchief from his hand again, and said softly: "If you don't let Linlang and them wait, why don't you even want me?" Or are you afraid that Miss Rong will think more if she knows? ”
Yan Li smiled and did not answer Lan Ying's words.
Although Linlang and several people grew up beside him, since he can remember, he has done everything by himself to dress and wash, and never pretended to her, that is, Aunt Lan and Aunt Hong can still wait for him a few times when he grows up.
Thinking of the red ying, Yan Li couldn't help frowning slightly, and said to the blue ying: "Aunt Hong was injured this time, what do you think?" ”
Speaking of the red tree, Lan Ying's originally relaxed expression couldn't help but tense, and after she groaned slightly, she said slowly: "When Long Wei was with them before, they were fine, but when Long Wei entered Kyoto, she and Chu Weiyi were attacked, and you also said that compared to the poison, the injuries on the body are more serious, but they are not fatal, what does the other party mean?" ”
"I have a feeling," Yan Li lowered his eyes, looked at his fingers that were as bright as jade under the light, and said, "The other party seems to be trying to let me bring Aunt Hong back to Kyoto." ”
"Take the red jaws back to Kyoto?" Lan Ying was stunned and said: "Hong Ying is from Northern Qi, not from Dongxia, what's the point of taking her back to Kyoto in Dongxia?" ”
The corners of Yan Li's lips curled up with a shallow arc, and said lightly: "You forgot, Uncle Chu is from Dongxia!" Not only is it a native of Dongxia but also a person from Emperor Zhengde, as soon as Uncle Chu appears, won't my identity be revealed! ”
"The young master is saying that their purpose is to reveal your identity?"
Yan Li nodded.
Lan Ying took a deep breath and didn't know what to say for a while.
It is not terrible for Yan Li's identity to be exposed, what is terrible is that if the royal families of Dongxia and Northern Qi know that the jade seals of the two countries are on him, the disastrous consequences will be caused! At that time, I am afraid that the young master will hunt down and kill the two countries for the rest of his life, and there will be no peace! Unless, he gives the jade seal to others. But how is this possible?
"But, now that the young master, you didn't bring Hongying and Chu Wei back to Kyoto, and the other party's calculation failed, what will you do next?" Lan Ying asked.
Yan Li shook his head, "I don't know, I just know that this person must be eliminated." ”
"What are you going to do, young master?" Lan Ying asked.
"Don't be in a hurry, let's solve Miss Rong's matter first, and after she leaves Kyoto, we'll discuss how to do it, I don't want her to be involved, this matter is too dangerous." Yan Li said softly.
"I see." After a pause, Lan Ying suddenly said: "Young master, I got the news that the eldest prince of Northern Qi has come to Dongxia." Do you think it's coming for you? ”
"The Great Prince of Northern Qi?" Yan Li was slightly stunned, and said, "Yan Zhengtian and Concubine Helan's son, Yan Yi? ”
Lan Ying nodded.
"It's hard to say if it's someone else, but if it's him, it's estimated that ten of the *** are coming for me." Yan Li picked the corners of his lips, a sneering smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Yan Zhengtian had a deep relationship with the Lan family back then, and for the sake of the throne, he abolished the Lan family and welcomed the Wei family as the queen. My mother was so angry that she almost gave up helping him take the throne! Although he still helped him to the throne later, but he took away the heirloom jade seal, if Yan Zhengtian wants Yan Yi to be the prince, he will definitely let him come to find the heirloom jade seal, so that he can justifiably become the prince! ”
"How did Yan Yi know that the young master was in Kyoto?" Lan Yinghu asked suspiciously. was silent, and said softly: "Could it be that the traitor is not from Eastern Xia but from Northern Qi?" Thinking about it like this, he couldn't help but turn pale, and said urgently: "Back then, Feng Wei was from Northern Qi and Long Wei was from Eastern Xia, or did Long Wei and Feng Wei have traitors in them?" ”
Yan Li waved his hand, "Aunt Lan, don't think so much about it first, let's solve Miss Rong's matter now." I also told Miss Rong about the mole, and there must be definite evidence before we can make a conclusion. Feng Wei was left to me by my mother, and Long Wei was ...... It was left to me by Emperor Zhengde, they all grew up watching me grow up, the feelings are different, if you question it at will, it will hurt their hearts, I don't want to do this! ”
Lan Ying nodded.
It is precisely because of the difference in affection that the young master will be so restrained, otherwise, with his temperament, he is afraid that he will be killed long ago, and it will be a hundred! Now I only hope that she thinks too much!
"Go and rest, I listen to Miss Rong, the one in King Chen's mansion, I'm afraid there should be a move in the past two days." Yan Li said to Lan Ying: "Linlang is not here, and Lan Ying will have to help her then." ”
Lan Ying nodded, put down the handkerchief in his hand, made the bed for Yan Li, and carefully inspected it before turning around and retreating.
Yan Li slept a little heavily this night, if it weren't for the sound of Nanlou and Lan Ying talking outside the door, he was afraid that he would not wake up for a while.
"South Building."
Nanlou, who was quietly chatting with Lan Ying outside the door, hurriedly responded, raised his hand and was about to push the door in, but was stopped by Lan Ying.
"Master!" Nanlou looked at Lan Ying with an anxious expression, "Miss Rong's side has already set off, I'm afraid it will change if it's late!" ”
Lan Ying nodded, and said lightly: "The young master has just gotten up, I'll go in first, you go and prepare, the young master washes up, and we'll set off." ”
Nanlou sighed helplessly, and said to Lan Ying, who had a look of vigilance: "Master, how many years have we been with the young master, if we really have that thought, we would have already had that thought, and we still need to wait for the young master to fall in love with Miss Rong before we move this thought?" Your old man is really thinking too much! ”
Lan Ying laughed with a "poof", raised his hand and slapped Nanlou's head, and said angrily: "The dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know the good heart, the rules of the young master, have you forgotten?" ”
When Nanlou heard this, he quickly stuck out his tongue, turned around and hurriedly walked out.
Lan Ying smiled and pushed the hidden door and walked in.
In the house, Yan Li had already gotten up and was walking out of the clean room, looked up and saw that it was Lan Ying, and asked, "Aunt Lan, what time is it?" I just heard the sound of the South Building. ”
"It's already three quarters of a day." Lan Ying stepped forward to prepare face wash water for Yan Li, and said: "Nanlou Shicai has been here, Miss Rong has just gotten the news, and is rushing to the water purification nunnery outside the city. ”
Yan Li knew about Rong Jin's plan, and because of this, he rushed back non-stop.
After all, Rong Jin has to face King Chen, King Chen can have an accident, but he can't have an accident in Rong Jin's hands! Otherwise, this is the disaster of the heavens!
Hearing this, Yan Li cleaned himself up in three or two times, changed into a black color clean face Hangzhou silk straight jacket, and did not pull his hair up, but took a hairband of the same color and gently tied it at the back, and said to Lan Ying.
"Call Li Yuan, I have something to order."
"Yes, young master."
Lan Ying put down the work in his hand, turned around and went to the east wing of Ruyi Hall to call Li Yuan over.
After a while, Li Yuan followed behind Lan Ying, rushed over, and saluted with his fists, "Young master." ”
Yan Li nodded, and said to Li Yuan: "Miss Rong is in the Pure Water Nunnery twenty miles outside the city, you rush over with Long Wei, choose a good location to set up an ambush, if someone wants to be unfavorable to Miss Rong, kill immediately, don't hesitate!" ”
"Yes, young master."
Li Yuan clenched his fists and retreated.
Yan Li said to Lan Ying again: "Aunt Lan, notify the other Fengwei scattered in Kyoto City, and ask them to keep an eye on the Chenwang Mansion and the Qingping Houfu, and if there is any change, send a signal to notify." ”
"Yes, young master." Lan Ying turned around and was about to go down to inform.
Yan Li's voice sounded behind him again, "Aunt Lan." ”
Lan Ying looked back at Yan Li.
Yan Li straightened up slightly, his eyes fell on the direction of Yuzhao Palace, he was silent, and said softly: "Sue them, pay close attention to the situation of the garrison in the city, if someone sends troops to the water purification nunnery outside the city, let them ignite the gunpowder I arranged before, and blow up the Yuzhao Palace!" ”
Lan Ying couldn't help but stiffen.
Blew up the Yuzhao Palace?
"Young Master......" Lan Ying looked at Yan Li hesitantly, "This, is this appropriate?" ”
"There's nothing out of place!" Yan Li said coldly: "My mother disappeared when she saw Emperor Zhengde, and no one knows what happened to her!" Think of me as avenging her in advance! ”
"But ......," Lan Ying continued.
Yan Li waved his hand, "Go and arrange it." ”
Lan Ying had no choice but to retreat.
"South Building!"
Yan Li raised his voice slightly.
"Young master, my subordinates are here!"
I don't know where the south building came from, anyway, as soon as Yan Li's words fell, she had already slipped away and stood in front of Yan Li.
"Go to the Pure Water Temple."
"Yes, young master!"
The master and servant jumped into the house and disappeared in the same place.
……
On the mountain road outside the city, a black-painted flat-headed carriage walked slowly.
About a few hundred meters away from the flat-headed carriage, it was also a black-painted flat-headed carriage, but the carriage was running in a hurry.
In the flat-headed carriage in the latter car, Rong Jin leaned on the cushion behind him and said to Xinghua, who was about to look out: "Don't look at it, it's not good to turn around and be discovered by the person in front of you." ”
Xinghua's face turned red, and she retracted, and her sister, who was sitting next to her, Xingyu glared at her.
Although the sisters are twins, they have different personalities.
The apricot rain is steady, and the apricot blossoms are slightly naughty.
Leaning slightly, Xinghua leaned forward to Rong Jin, leaned closer, and asked softly, "County Lord, why are we following the carriage in front?" ”
"Apricot Blossom!" Xingyu scolded her sister with a headache, and said angrily: "What are you doing when you ask so much?" Whatever the county lord commands, we can do. ”
Xinghua pouted and said softly: "I'm just curious!" ”
Seeing that her sister dared to talk back in front of the county lord, Xingyu raised her hand and was about to pinch her, but she was stopped by Rong Jin.
"Okay, don't blame her." Rong Jin smiled and said: "How old is she, you just teach her slowly, don't scold her all the time, otherwise the more you scold back, the more stupid you will be!" ”
"County Lord, you still protect her!" Xingyu withdrew her hand and said with a sneering face: "You don't know, how many times I have taught it in private, and I always don't change." ”
Xinghua's face turned red, and she lowered her head and pursed her mouth without speaking.
Rong Jin's heart softened when he saw it, the little junior sister in her previous life was also such a temperament, lively and active, she had to ask a few words about everything, and I don't know what happened to the little junior sister later!
"It's okay," Rong Jin said softly: "Anyway, follow me, find an honest and reliable marriage in the future, and you won't lose anything." ”
Xingyu's eyes turned red when she heard this.
Outsiders say that the county lord of Yongning is cruel, but she knows that the county lord of Yongning will always be kind and angry when he treats his subordinates.
Xinghua saw that Rong Jin not only didn't talk about her, but also helped her speak, her heart was happy, and she leaned forward to Rong Jin again, and said softly: "County master, the slave maid is not married, and the slave maid will follow you all his life." ”
Rong Jin couldn't help but smile and said: "That's not good, if you don't get married, your sister won't have to worry to death!" ”
"Slaves don't have to worry!" Xingyu said fiercely: "When you save it, the slave and maid have to worry about the big ones, not to mention the big ones, but also the small ones." ”
Looking at Xingyu's old-fashioned appearance, Rong Jin couldn't help but laugh softly.
She smiled, and Xingyu, who was originally tense, also laughed, and Xinghua saw that the two of them were laughing, so she also laughed stupidly.
For a while, there was a lot of fun in the carriage.
The people in the previous carriage were not as happy as they were.
Wang Yuntong furrowed his brows and said to Biyu beside him: "Hou Ye made it clear, is that person really hiding in the Pure Water Nunnery?" ”
"Back to the princess, yes." Biyu said softly: "Hou Ye also asked people to inquire, there was originally a small Zhuangzi about ten miles away from the Pure Water Nunnery, and that small Zhuangzi was originally purchased by Aunt Yun of Changxing Houfu. When there was an accident in Changxing Houfu two months ago, this Zhuangzi caught fire somehow, and was burned to death along with the people who guarded Zhuangzi! ”
Wang Yuntong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, "The Zhuangzi of Cloud Glaze? ”
"Yes, Princess." Jasper said.
Wang Yuntong's anxious expression slowly calmed down.
Zhuangzi was placed in the cloud glaze, and when there was an accident in Changxing Houfu, Zhuangzi caught fire! Does that mean that the original Zhuangzi lived in the Yuqin? But how could it be so coincidental? But when there was an accident in Changxing Houfu that day, Zhuangzi caught fire?
"Did Master Hou say how Zhuangzi caught fire?" Wang Yuntong asked.
Biyu nodded, "Hou Ye said, it seems that someone from Changxing Houfu went to Zhuangzi that day, and then I don't know what happened, Zhuangzi caught fire!" ”
Wang Yuntong couldn't help rubbing his forehead, feeling that things were like a mess!
Early this morning, Wang Su sent a letter into the palace, saying that he had found the place where the person who looked like a jade qin had been found, which was in the Pure Water Nunnery twenty miles outside the city. But because the water purification nunnery is worshiped by more than a dozen villages in a radius, it is inconvenient to do it, so I asked her what to do? Wang Yuntong asked Wang Su to keep an eye on the person first, and she quietly came to recognize the person first, and then made arrangements if it was really Yuqin.
Wang Yuntong let go of the hand on his forehead and said to Biyu beside him: "Look outside, is there anything wrong." ”
Jasper answered "yes" and raised her hand to lift the curtain of the carriage and look out.
It is the busy season of farming, on both sides of the mountain road, either working in the fields, or chopping firewood on the mountain, a few hundred meters away from a flat-headed carriage walking slowly, I can't see who the person driving the car is, but the carriage is followed by a sturdy man, it looks like a relative, and it looks like a woman returning to her mother's house!
"Princess, nothing out of the ordinary." Jasper said back.
Wang Yuntong nodded and said to Biyu: "You tell the coachman to hurry up, what I told the prince is to go to the Yaowang Temple to offer incense, and it is too late to go back, I am afraid that the prince will be suspicious." ”
"Yes, Princess."
Biyu lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to the coachman, "Lai Da, hurry up the carriage again." ”
The coachman answered, and the whip in his hand was thrown out, and the carriage rolled up a piece of loess and drove forward hurriedly.
……
Chenwang's Mansion.
Li Rongyue complained to Yanfu: "The mother concubine is really true, why didn't she take me to the Yaowang Temple?" ”
"The princess said that the weather was too hot, and she would have gone out late today, and she would take the county lord with her in a few days for the birthday of the Medicine King Bodhisattva." Yanfu said.
Li Rongyue pouted, and said unhappily: "Where is it hot?" It's obviously not hot today, and the Yaowang Temple is not far away. It's only half an hour before I come back, no, I have to go and tell my father, and I'm going too. ”
After the words fell, he turned around and walked out.
Yan Fu hurriedly followed, "The county lord, the county lord, the princess has told you not to go out today." ”
It's just that Li Rongyue will listen to Yanfu, she trotted all the way to the main courtyard of Chenwang's mansion, and was asking the mother-in-law in the courtyard.
"Where is my father?"
"Back to the county lord's mansion, the prince went to the study early in the morning."
Li Rongyue immediately turned around and ran to the study again.
In the study, Li Yichen was talking with two staff.
"If it was just because of the merit of saving the crown prince, the royal brother would not be able to tolerate it like this, no matter what the king thinks, he feels that things are too strange." Li Yichen said softly: "At the beginning, Lao Chang Xinghou once pointed out that the maid beside her was a member of the Northern Qi clan, and now that the prince of Northern Qi suddenly came to Kyoto, could it be that Rong Jin has some conspiracy with Northern Qi?" ”
"We have already complied with the prince's wishes and sent people to keep an eye on the county lord's mansion, but there are too many and complicated people who have been in and out of the county lord's mansion recently, and it is difficult to inquire about some useful news." A staff member whispered.
Li Yichen nodded, "Rong Jin is cunning and suspicious, and ruthless, she should have made arrangements when the Wu family chose a maid for her, but now, if you want to arrange someone to go in, I'm afraid it's not easy, but this matter is not in a hurry, the huge county lord's mansion, whether it's the kitchen or the nursing home or the pulp washing mother-in-law, can always find a way." ”
"What the prince said is that it ...... now"
"Father!"
The staff's words were interrupted by Li Rongyue's soft and crisp scream, and then the door was pushed open with a "squeak". Li Rongyue stood outside the door with a smile on her face. The staff couldn't help but look at Li Yichen, Li Yichen waved his hand, and the staff bowed and retreated.
"County Lord."
Li Rongyue didn't look at the staff, and walked towards Li Yichen, who was sitting, "Father, the mother concubine has gone to the Medicine King Temple, let's go too." ”
Li Yichen knew about Wang Yuntong's going to Yaowang Temple, and thought that she would take Li Rongyue there, but she didn't expect to put Li Rongyue at home!
immediately smiled and said: "Your mother not only gave up her father, but also didn't even take you, it seems that she is angry with our father and daughter." ”
Li Rongyue grinned and said: "No, my mother is afraid that the sun will shine on me, so she won't take me there, but the Medicine King Temple is not far away, I'm so bored at home, father, you accompany me to pick up my mother!" The concubine would have been glad to see us pick her up. ”
Li Yichen looked up at the sky outside, and couldn't help but wrinkle his brows and said: "It is the time when the sun is at its highest, in case it is basking in you, your mother and concubine will be angry with your father again." ”
"No, no." Li Rongyue hugged Li Yichen's arm and said coquettishly: "When the time comes, I will say that it is my idea, if the mother concubine wants to be angry, she will also give birth to a daughter, and she will definitely not give birth to you!" ”
Li Yi's lips looked at Li Rongyue, who was as delicate as a flower in front of him, his face was full of doting, and he immediately said: "That's okay, your mother is to blame, you can bear it, and you are not allowed to affect me." ”
"Well, my daughter will bear it." Li Rongyue said in a loud voice.
Li Yichen nodded, raised his voice slightly and said outside, "Someone." ”
The boy who was waiting outside the door walked in, "Lord Wang." ”
"Inform the porter to prepare a carriage, and this king is going to the Yaowang Temple." Li Yichen said.
"Yes, lord."
The boy withdrew.
Li Yichen took Li Rongyue and walked out.
It took a quarter of an hour for King Chen's Mansion to go back and forth from Yaowang Temple, and Li Yichen thought that because he was going out temporarily, he only asked the porter to prepare a carriage with black paint and a flat top. Because he was afraid of Li Rongyue, Li Yichen specially ordered the carriage to go slower, and stopped outside the Yaowang Temple in about half a column.
Li Rongyue was wearing a curtain fence, and Li Yichen did not wear the prince's uniform, but changed into a royal blue dark purple moire brocade dress, which was like this, and it also attracted the attention of others along the way.
Because it was a private service, they did not notify the abbot in the temple, but the two of them went all the way inside and sent someone to find Wang Yuntong.
There are not many people in Yaowang Temple today, although there is a wind blowing on his body, but after a while, Li Rongyue felt a burst of stuffiness and wanted to go back early.
"Father, hurry up and find your mother, go home, I'm dying of heat."
Li Yichen glanced at her with a smile and said, "Look, your mother won't let you come, you want to come, come, it's only how much time, you have to go back." ”
Li Rongyue smiled coquettishly.
Li Yichen felt sorry for her, so he said to the little girl who followed him: "Go and see, why haven't you found the princess yet." ”
"Yes, lord."
The little guy retreated.
But soon, the little maid hurried back, "Lord, I searched all over the place, and they all said that they didn't see the princess." ”
"Didn't see the princess?" Li Yichen couldn't help but say to Li Rongyue in confusion: "Did you miss it, your mother has already gone back?" ”
Li Rongyue was uncomfortable with the stuffiness of this time, where did she think that she was here to pick up Wang Yuntong, and immediately said: "Then let's go back, maybe the concubine is waiting at home!" ”
Li Yichen thought for a while and said to the little maid: "Go and ask the monk in the temple, if the princess has been here today." ”
"Yes, lord."
The little guy retreated.
Li Yichen took Li Rongyue to the leafy camphor tree in front of the temple and waited.
After about a cup of tea, the little guy was followed by a thin monk, who hurriedly walked towards Li Yichen.
"Lord, the princess didn't come to the temple to offer incense today." After the monk pronounced a Buddha name to Li Yichen, he said.
"Didn't come?" Li Yichen couldn't help but look at Li Rongyue suspiciously, "Why didn't your mother come?" She clearly said that she was here at the Yaowang Temple! ”
Li Rongyue blinked her pair of black eyes and said, "Yes, the mother concubine told me the same thing." ”
"Then where did your mother go?" Li Yichen's face couldn't help but sink.
Li Rongyue shook her head.
Li Yichen was silent for a moment, waved his hand to the monk who knew the guest, and said lightly: "Maybe this king is mistaken, you go down." ”
"Yes, lord."
The monk bowed and retreated.
Li Yichen said to Li Rongyue: "Go home first." ”
Li Rongyue nodded, and couldn't help but have a bad thought in her heart.
Mother, why did you lie to her and her father?
Where did she go, Princess?
is not as relaxed as when he came, and the father and daughter both frowned and were silent along the way.
Wait for the carriage to return to the palace.
Li Yichen called Gu Wencheng to the front hall for questioning.
"Which carriage did the princess go out in today? Who drives the car? Li Yichen asked.
Gu Wencheng didn't know why Li Yichen suddenly asked about the princess going out, but he still replied: "Back to the prince, the princess took the black lacquer flat-headed carriage commonly used by the stewards, and it was Lai Da who drove the car. ”
"Who is the best person to be with on weekdays, find that person, this king has something to ask." Li Yichen said coldly.
"Yes, lord."
Gu Wencheng hurriedly retreated.
Li Yichen looked up at the blue sky above the courtyard of the small courtyard, and was speechless for a long time.
He didn't want to admit that somewhere in his heart was slowly cracking, but...... Li Yichen took a deep breath and told himself that he couldn't doubt her like this, they had been doing well all these years. Whether it is a wife or a mother, Wang Yuntong has done a good job! Perhaps, she changed her mind and went somewhere else? Don't ask, wait, maybe the next moment, the person will be back.
The thought just came to mind, and he was about to turn around and command, but he saw Gu Wencheng leading a man in a coarse cloth short robe and walked over. He was stunned, suppressed the thought in his heart, and his eyes fell on the man.
"Small, small has seen the prince." The man knelt down and saluted.
Li Yichen waved his hand and said lightly: "I called you here to ask you, did Lai Da tell you, where did he go out with the carriage today?" ”
"Return, back to the prince's words, Lai Da didn't say it, but the little one once heard him mutter, saying that the princess was going out of the city to take his car, which was small and uncomfortable." The man said.
Li Yichen's face changed.
Out of town?
Wang Yuntong is not the Yunyao King Temple, but out of the city, where is she going?
"Where to go out of town?"
After thinking about it, the man said hesitantly: "It seems that he is going to a place called a water purification hermitage!" ”
Purifying water hermitage?
What is that place?
Li Yichen waved his hand, and Gu Wencheng motioned for the man to retreat.
After the man retreated, Li Yichen looked at Gu Wencheng and asked, "What is the place of the Pure Water Nunnery?" ”
"It is a nunnery twenty miles outside the city, and it is said that it is worshiped by more than a dozen nearby villages, and the incense is very vigorous." Gu Wencheng said.
Li Yichen nodded. Xindao: Maybe the princess thinks that the incense over there is good, and the Bodhisattva is effective, so she goes there to ask for the Buddha! But there was another voice in my heart that said, then why lie and say that it was going to the Yaowang Temple?
"Prepare the horse, this king is going out." Li Yichen instructed Gu Wencheng.
"Yes, lord."
Gu Wencheng hurriedly went to make arrangements.
A quarter of an hour later, a fast horse left the palace of King Chen and hurried in the direction of the city gate.
In King Chen's mansion, Li Rongyue heard that her father rode out of the mansion, so she said to Yanfu without thinking about it: "You go and inquire about who my father saw just now, and then bring that person, and I will ask him." ”
"County Lord......" Yan Fu looked at Li Rongyue disapprovingly.
Li Rongyue glared and said loudly: "If you are told to go, what are you talking about!" ”
Yanfu had no choice but to retreat according to Li Rongyue's orders.
After a pillar of incense, a black-painted flat-topped carriage also came out of the side door of the palace.
Hidden in the dark around the palace, someone whispered.
"What to do? Want to get your hands dirty? ”
"Don't move, I said it above, if the Chenwang Mansion mobilizes the palace guards, we will do it, since it's just two people out of the mansion, don't move."
……
The carriage stopped at the foot of a hill.
Biyu got out of the carriage first, turned around and went to help Wang Yuntong in the carriage, Wang Yuntong carefully got off the carriage with her hand, and stood there looking up.
A bluestone-paved path winds its way with no end in sight, flanked by neatly groomed meadows, and sometimes planted with clumps of bamboo or osmanthus trees of various sizes at uneven distances. The wind is blowing, and the rustle of leaves is heard in my ears, and if you look into the distance, you can vaguely see the yellow tile building in the corner of the mountaintop, which must be the Pure Water Temple, right?
"Princess, what should I do, why don't you go and find a sedan chair?" Biyu said to Wang Yuntong.
Wang Yuntong shook his head, "No need, it doesn't look high, let's go up." ”
Jasper was still to be said, but Wang Yuntong had already picked up the hem of her skirt and walked onto the path.
"Laida, you drive the carriage to rest under the tree over there, and the princess will be back soon." Jasper said.
Lai Da answered yes, drove the carriage to the shade of a tree not far away, thinking about the five hundred taels of silver hidden under the bed at home, and there was a smile between his eyebrows. With these five hundred taels of silver, he can redeem himself, go to another place to buy a house and a shop, and marry a wife and have a few little boys!
After about a pillar of incense, another carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain.
Rong Jin said to Xingyu: "Go down and see the situation." ”
"Yes, County Lord."
Xingyu took the lead in getting out of the carriage, and after looking left and right, he turned back to Rong Jin and said, "The coachman is enjoying the shade in the woods not far away, thinking that his master should have already gone up the mountain." ”
Rong Jin nodded, jumped out of the carriage, and said to Xingyu: "Let the coachman drive the carriage back to the city, and we will go up the mountain." ”
"Yes, County Lord."
Lai Da on one side saw that a carriage was parked and came down, and he couldn't help but look a few more times here, because it was far away, and Rong Jin covered the curtain, only vaguely saw a few girls, and said in his heart, which young lady is this really bold, so he took two little maids, what if he met a bad guy!
Rong Jin didn't know Lai Da's thoughts, she took Xingyu and Xinghua along the footsteps of Wang Yuntong, step by step.
There are people from Qingping Houfu on the mountain, she knows.
But in Qingyu, coupled with Xingyu and Xinghua, she believes that the people in Qingping Houfu want to embarrass her, and I'm afraid it's still difficult! It's just that I don't know what's going on in the city? Will Li Yichen be suspicious? Will you chase after you when you are suspicious? But after thinking about it, there is Nanlou, I am afraid that even if Li Yichen is not suspicious, she will think of a way to let him chase after her.
Rong Jin really didn't guess wrong.
In the Yaowang Temple, the south building threw a silver ticket of one hundred taels to the monk who knew the guest, turned around and walked towards the carriage waiting outside.
"Young master, it's done!"
Yan Li nodded and said lightly, "How is the Chenwang Mansion over there?" ”
"I've sent a message to me, saying that King Chen rode out of the door alone and headed in the direction of the city gate." Nanlou said.
Yan Li nodded, "Okay, let's go out of the city now." ”
"Great!"
Nanlou answered, jumped into the carriage, shook the reins of the horse with both hands, and shouted "drive" in his mouth, and the carriage ran in the direction of the city gate-
