Chapter 79: Petition and Departure



In the emperor's tent, Huo Chen respectfully bent over and replied, "It's a shame that Princess Xiangrui has the best gold sore medicine on her body to heal the minister's injuries in time, otherwise the minister's ten lives will not be enough to lose." ziyouge”

Huo Chen said calmly, if it weren't for his overly pale face and weak tone, everyone would really think that he had nothing to do.

"Oh? That Xiangrui, how did you meet the king of Zhennan? He still has gold sore medicine on his body, could he be a prophet who knows that he will be injured, and he has already been prepared? The emperor answered, turned to Yun Xiangrong, and there was a faint doubt and coldness between his words.

"Back to the emperor, the courtiers and the seven princes together, were scattered by the killer and then fell into the forest alone, ran away, completely lost their direction, and entered the place where the king of Zhennan and the killer fought in a daze, and then was forced to jump off the cliff with the king of Zhennan, and luckily saved a life. As for the medicine he carried, it was given by Dr. Sun before leaving, and he said that autumn hunting was good. But he had to prevent injuries from touching them, so he not only gave the courtiers gold sore medicine, but also various anti-snake and mouse medicines. Yun Xiangrong knelt on the ground, equally calm and calm.

As she spoke, she took out several medicine bottles from her waist and put them on the ground, and said softly, "That's it." ”

"Speaking of which, the effect of this medicine of the princess is really good, yesterday the minister was seriously injured, after using this medicine, the wound not only stopped bleeding, but also faintly showed signs of scabbing, it is really a healing medicine!" Huo Chen said respectfully.

"Does this really work? Present it to me and take a look. The emperor seemed to be interested, and asked the attendant who was waiting on the side to go down and get the medicine.

After taking it up, the emperor saw that it was just a few bottles, and there were pills and medicinal powder when opened, but the emperor didn't understand medical skills after all, so he didn't see anything.

waved his hand to let the chamberlain retreat, and the emperor said again: "Doctor Sun is thoughtful, otherwise you two will really be worried about your lives this time." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a proposal." Huo Chen said respectfully.

"Oh? Say. "The emperor said.

"The effect of this gold sore medicine is really good, it is better to let Sun Sheng Medical Hall provide this medicine for the military camp, if this medicine is in the army, it will be of great use." Huo Chen's eyes flickered and said.

Yun Xiangrong, who was kneeling on the side, trembled suddenly, but he didn't expect that he was still planning business for her at such a time.

But he is finally a person who has lived two lives, and he has not lost his temper because of this.

A trace of interest also flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he said, "This move is very good, and this matter will be arranged by you." ”

"Obey." Huo Chen said.

Yun Xiangrong followed and bowed respectfully, and said, "Long live the courtiers, long live my emperor." ”

The emperor asked for some more details, and finally, the emperor said lightly to Yun Xiangrong and Huo Chen: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly, you go down and rest." ”

"Your Majesty." The two saluted at the same time, and after thanking him, they retreated together.

Back at the camp, the accompanying palace maid treated Yun Xiangrong's injuries, and the imperial doctor prescribed medicine and then retreated.

And at this moment, Zhou Mu, who got the news of Yun Xiangrong's safe return, also hurried outside the big tent.

Sister Zhao Xi was instructed to stay outside and not let anyone enter the tent.

So Zhou Mu naturally asked the two of them to stop outside.

The two sisters were obviously a slightly longer but still slender girl, but when they stood at the door, they were like iron lumps, so that Zhou Mu couldn't cross the slightest bit, and was blocked out of the door.

"You two dog slaves, are you going to rebel, I am your master's husband, you dare to stop me, get out of the way." Zhou Mu was so angry that his face turned red, and he pushed the two of them hard, but Zhao Xi and the others just wouldn't let them.

"Lord Zhou, please go back, Madame is frightened, she has rested at the moment, and when Madame wakes up, if she wants to see your lord, she will send my two sisters to invite." Zhao Xi opened his mouth coldly.

Zhou Mu said that the two of them just wouldn't let it.

was so angry that Zhou Mu scolded at the door.

He was muttering at the door, and two soldiers came to meet him, stepped forward and said coldly: "Lord Zhou, my lord invites you over." ”

"Who are your lords?" Zhou Mu was stunned for a moment and asked.

The two soldiers did not answer, but said coldly: "Please." ”

Seeing their determined expressions, Zhou Mu could only follow them forward and ask, "Who sent you?" What does this do? Know who I am? I am from the fourth grade, and my wife is the auspicious princess of His Majesty, the one who has made great contributions to the epidemic! My father-in-law is the prime minister of the dynasty, so you treat me like this, aren't you afraid of being held accountable? ”

Zhou Mu brought out all the titles he could think of, but the two soldiers seemed indifferent, as if they hadn't heard him speak at all.

In the end, Zhou Mu was pushed into a big tent.

"General, people have brought." When the two men entered the tent, they spoke to the men above them.

"This is Princess Xiangrui's husband, Zhou Mu, Lord Zhou." Wen Zhan spoke slowly, his eyes fell on Zhou Mu's body, and the coldness made Zhou Mu's heart suddenly cold.

At the same time, Zhou Mu felt a little sad in his heart, he used to say that Yun Xiangrong was his Zhou Mu's wife, but now it's okay, it's all the other way around, it's really feng shui in turn.

"It's the lower officer, I don't know why the general is looking for it?" Zhou Mu thought like this in his heart, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous, and hurriedly saluted Wen Zhan respectfully.

"The Holy Lord ordered General Ben to be in charge of the assassination of the two princes, and General Ben listened to the report from his subordinates, saying that Lord Zhou was asking around about this matter, I don't know why?" Wen Zhan looked at Zhou Mu, obviously speaking calmly, but it made Zhou Mu tremble as if he was in an ice cellar, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Wen Zhan was slightly surprised when he saw Zhou Mu's performance.

He had seen Princess Xiangrui, with a graceful and noble demeanor, and an average demeanor, he thought that her husband must also be a person with outstanding demeanor, but he didn't want to, he was so unbearable, he couldn't even stand his coercion!

Wen Zhan wondered if his men had caught the wrong person.

"Xia Guan was just worried about his wife's injury, so he asked a few more words." Zhou Mu hurriedly said.

"Where did Lord Zhou go to the camp, who did he meet, and did he find anything wrong?" Wen Zhan asked.

Zhou Mu answered them one by one, and after Wen Zhan asked Zhou Mu a few more casually, he let him leave.

After Zhou Mu left, he didn't dare to inquire again. hurried back to his tent.

After sending Zhou Mu away, Wen Zhan went to the emperor's tent.

"Your Majesty, General Wen asks to see you." The chamberlain went in and pleaded.

"Biography." The emperor put down the booklet in his hand and ordered.

"The minister knocks to see the emperor."

"Excuse me, General Wen got up and spoke." The emperor commanded.

"The emperor asked the ministers to investigate, and the ministers have already found out. Princess Xiangrui did not move, but her husband Zhou Mu was a little strange. Fang Cai also inquired about the assassination, but when the minister asked him, he said that he was only concerned about the princess's injuries. "General Wen Zhan just said what happened to Zhou Mu.

The emperor was slightly silent when he heard this, and immediately said that he "knew", and then let Wen Zhan retreat.

"What did you find?" In the quiet tent, the emperor asked softly.

"It's the same as Wen Zhan said. However, his subordinates also found out that Zhou Mu and the second prince were very close this time. A hoarse voice rang out. but no one was seen.

The emperor understood the meaning of these words, frowned, but did not speak.

After Zhou Mu returned to the camp, he always felt that something was wrong, and he didn't go over to inquire about the assassination, but Wen Zhan let himself go over and ask for so long, could it be that he sent someone to stare at him, or he sent someone to stare at Yun Xiangrong!

Thinking of this possibility, Zhou Mu only felt a chill all over his body, and his face was no longer just pale.

Zhou Mu's face was constantly changing, alternating blue and white. It's wonderful.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and went towards Yun Xiangrong's big tent again.

When he arrived at the big tent, the two sisters Zhao Xi stopped him outside.

"You two girls, I want to see your master, and I won't report it yet." Still couldn't get in, Zhou Mu was so angry that he almost didn't vomit blood.

The two stood still.

Zhou Mu raised his voice and shouted: "Rong'er, Rong'er, I'm Zhou Mu, your husband, I'll come to see how your injuries are, you let me in." ”

"What's the fuss here?" At this moment, a voice with anger sounded, slightly childish, Zhou Mu turned his head to see that it was the Seventh Prince.

"I've seen the Seventh Highness." Seeing the Seven Princes, everyone saluted.

"Zhou Mu, what are you arguing about here, don't leave quickly." The Seventh Prince looked at Zhou Mu and scolded.

Being scolded like this in front of him, Zhou Mu's face was also a little unbearable, but if he really wanted him to leave like this, he was unwilling, so he frowned and bowed: "The lower officials don't come to see their wives, it's reasonable, who knows that these two slaves and bullies are actually blocking and not letting in, and asking the Seventh Prince to be the master." ”

"My sister is frightened, and she has injuries on her body, you have to rest well, what are you doing here, you are arguing with my sister's rest, be careful that I ask someone to beat you out." The Seventh Prince glared, angry and disgusted, and said, "You don't have a sister in your heart, so if you pretend to be courteous, your sister will only be more angry when she sees you." ”

"Rong'er is the wife of the lower official, this is a matter between our husband and wife, and it has nothing to do with His Highness. His Royal Highness is still young, and he will know when he grows up. Zhou Mu bowed, feeling a little aggrieved.

Although the Seventh Prince is young, he is the most liked by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and he does not dare to offend.

He didn't understand, he just wanted to see Yun Xiangrong at a glance, why was it so difficult.

Obviously he is her husband, how can he not even be as good as an outsider.

Zhou Mu's heart was full of resentment.

Zhou Mu didn't find it. The scene where he was talking to the Seventh Prince here all fell into the eyes of Jiang Qing, who was not far away.

Jiang Qing originally wanted to come and see in person whether Yun Xiangrong's injury was serious or not, but he didn't expect to see Zhou Mu come to see Yun Xiangrong.

Her silver teeth clenched in anger, her fingers clenched into fists, her beautifully trimmed nails almost digging into her flesh, and her eyes were full of resentment.

Seeing that Zhou Mu was still entangled, the seventh prince moved the emperor out.

"My father told me to let my sister have a good rest, and if you want to quarrel here again, let's go to my father to comment on it." The Seventh Prince lifted his chin and looked at him with disdain.

Zhou Mu was choked. He can't ignore the emperor's orders.

In desperation, Zhou Mu could only leave, and when he left, he looked back at the camp a few times, looking reluctant and unwilling.

After Zhou Mu left, Jiang Qing suppressed his anger and returned to his camp.

As soon as I entered the door, I walked to the coffee table, grabbed the teacup on the table and fell out.

"Why did I tell him again and again that I wanted him to abandon her quickly, but he didn't want to, because he was still thinking about her." Jiang Qing was trembling with anger, his lips were white, and he pursed it tightly.

"County Lord" Xiao Nan was used to seeing his tantrum appearance, but he was not afraid, just stood aside and called softly.

Jiang Qing raised his head fiercely, his eyes were full of resentment, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What I want to get, there is nothing I can't get." Xiao Nan, come here. ”

Xiao Nan hurriedly walked to Jiang Qing's side, Jiang Qing gave a few words of advice in a low voice, and Xiao Nan hurriedly left.

The next day, almost the entire enclosure knew that Yun Xiangrong and Huo Chen were both chased and killed by the killers, fell off the cliff together, and were found back together.

All kinds of rumors and rumors have also come out, what the two have already secretly communicated with each other, privately agreed for life and the like, and the rumors are getting more and more outrageous, when Zhou Mu heard it, his face was extremely bad, and he hurriedly went to Yun Xiangrong's camp tent.

"I have something important to see your wife, go and tell me." Zhou Mu knew that it was not possible to break through, so he could only suppress his anger and say to Zhao Xi in a good voice.

"It's unfortunate that my lord came, Madame was called by the emperor to reply earlier." Zhao Xi said lightly.

Zhou Mu's face was even paler, if those rumors reached the emperor's ears

On the other side, Yun Xiangrong was called by the emperor and was talking back in the emperor's tent.

"This time, you and the King of Zhennan have a meritorious escort, and I rewarded a beloved sweat and blood horse to the King of Zhennan, and Xiangrui can only open his mouth what kind of reward he wants." The emperor said with a smile.

Yun Xiangrong hurriedly said: "The courtiers don't dare to take credit, the reason why the Seven Princes have nothing to do is that he, as a prince, has the blessing of God, and has nothing to do with the courtiers, so he should not be rewarded." ”

"When I say merit, merit is meritorious, just say what you want." The emperor frowned, seeming to be a little displeased.

Yun Xiangrong suddenly stood up from the chair, knelt on the ground with a puff, prostrate, and when he spoke again, his voice was choked with a cry: "As soon as this happened, the courtiers did not return overnight. I am afraid that it has already spread throughout the camp and its reputation has been ruined, so instead of being abandoned by her husband when she falls, I also asked the emperor to give the courtiers a piece of paper and a letter of departure, so as to give the courtiers a decent look. ”

When the emperor heard this, he immediately frowned, and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will ask someone to block the news and never let you be affected." ”

At this moment, the voice of Wen Zhan asking to see him came from outside.

The emperor ordered him to come in.

Wen Zhan bowed when he entered the door and said, "The minister is derelict in his duties, please punish the emperor." ”

"What happened?" The emperor's brows furrowed even tighter.

"The emperor instructed his ministers to block the matter of Princess Xiangrui and King Zhennan falling together, but I don't know who it was, they had already spread rumors in the camp, and now the whole camp knows about it, the rumors are fierce, and they all say it" Wen Zhan said and glanced at Yun Xiangrong, and did not continue.

Yun Xiangrong on the side whimpered as if he couldn't bear it anymore, if he hadn't been afraid that this was in front of the emperor, he would have cried out a long time ago.

"Say what?" The emperor listened with a gloomy face and said coldly.

"It is said that Princess Xiangrui and King Zhennan have long had a personal relationship, and that this time is just a tryst between the two in order to avoid others, which deliberately caused the current situation." Wen Zhan said.

"It just doesn't make sense." The emperor slapped the table angrily. "General Wen, pass the order down, no one is allowed to mention this matter again, and if you find someone chewing the root of your tongue behind your back, cut off your tongue."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wen Zhan responded, and then got up and retreated.

Seeing Yun Xiangrong kneeling on the ground and crying silently, the emperor comforted: "Xiangrui, don't worry, I will personally issue a gag order for this matter, and it will never come out of this place." ”

"Even so? My husband already has a sweetheart in his heart, and he is looking for an opportunity to abandon me, and sooner or later the position of my main room is someone else's, and now that this has happened, it is better to invite himself to the court earlier, so as not to be abandoned and have no place to embarrass himself. Yun Xiangrong finally suppressed his crying and choked up.

"And what? Who is that woman? Just say it, I'll make the decision for you! The emperor was furious and shouted.

"That noble status, the courtier dare not say." Yun Xiangrong cried.

"You say yes, I forgive you for your innocence." The emperor said coldly.

Yun Xiangrong seemed to be a little hesitant, and didn't speak for a long time, until the emperor spoke again to tell her, then she knelt on the ground and said, "That person is the daughter of the current Jiang Guogong's mansion, the emperor's niece, the lord of Qingyang." ”

The emperor was stunned when he heard this, and immediately became furious, raised his hand and swept down the teacup in his hand, and the sound of the teacup breaking was noisy and angry.

Yun Xiangrong choked up and couldn't cry, "The courtiers know that their identity is not as good as the county lord, and they dare not rob the county lord of their husband." He also asked the emperor to allow his courtiers to leave peacefully. ”

"There is no need to mention the matter of peace, I will not agree." The emperor said with a calm face.

Yun Xiangrong, who was kneeling on the ground, sighed silently in his heart, knowing that the emperor was afraid of the growing power of the queen and the Jiang Guogong Mansion after all, and would not easily let Jiang Qing marry Zhou Mu, after all, Zhou Mu was the person of the second prince, if they reached an alliance

Yun Xiangrong retreated and begged for the second, and said: "Now that such rumors have spread, the courtiers will definitely be questioned by their husbands when they go back, and the courtiers are weak women, and this matter cannot be explained clearly, if there is a dispute." It's going to be a loss."

When the emperor heard this, he groaned slightly, and said: "I will allow you to cultivate a garden in the mansion, and when I return to Beijing this time, I will send craftsmen to your mansion to implement this matter, and then send twenty guards into the palace according to your princess's regulations to protect your safety." ”

Yun Xiangrong kowtowed three times when he heard this, and said respectfully: "Thank the emperor for his grace." ”

The emperor looked at Yun Xiangrong kneeling on the ground, sighed in his heart, and his voice slowed down: "Get up." ”

"Yes." Yun Xiang replied, and then stood up.

She was wearing a white wide-sleeved fairy dress, where Ying Ying was standing. The posture is like a willow in the wind, and his eyes are slightly red because he has just cried, but his calm demeanor is still the same, which makes the emperor secretly sigh that Zhou Mu is really visionless.

After saying a few more words, Yun Xiangrong got out of the camp and went back to his camp.

Yun Xiangrong returned to his tent, only to find that Huo Chen was waiting inside.

Seeing her come back, Huo Chen's hand holding the teacup tightened, as if he wanted to stand up, but he didn't move.

Yun Xiangrong walked over slowly and sat down opposite him. calmly poured himself a cup of tea.

"When rumors are flying all over the sky, what are you doing here with me, do you want to confirm the rumors!" Yun Xiangrong took a sip of tea, and then spoke softly.

Huo Chen was keenly aware of the difference.

Her words were still calm and gentle, but there was a little more casualness that she had never had before.

Huo Chen's heart jumped slightly, he held his breath for a while before he said: "Crying so hard, my eyes are red, and this forehead, you made the emperor angry, and broke your forehead to ask for forgiveness?" ”

He leaned over as he spoke. Gently touched her red forehead.

Yun Xiangrong shrank in pain, "Pain, don't move." Between the words, it seemed to be a little coquettish.

Huo Chen froze.

She was really different today.

However, when he heard her cry out in pain, he frowned imperceptibly and said, "Where is the medicine box?" Treat the wound. ”

"I don't have to deal with it, it's just a little broken, and I'll just take some medicine myself in a while." Yun Xiangrong said.

Huo Chen didn't speak, squinted at her slightly, and his eyes revealed the stubbornness of not giving up until he reached his goal.

Sighing silently, Yun Xiangrong could only tell him where the medicine box was. Then he leaned down on the couch with peace of mind, and let him clean his wounds.

When Huo Chen treated her wounds, she couldn't help but want to say something, but she didn't open her mouth after all.

It's just that I feel more and more in my heart that she is really different from usual today.

In the past, she saw that he would only dodge, showing a kind of avoidance appearance, even if she was blocked by her and barely got along with him, she was always on guard, like a hedgehog, erecting spikes all over her body.

How could she be like this, get along with him at ease, and let him medicate her.

"What's the difference?" Yun Xiangrong moved and asked lightly.

Huo Chen frowned, slowly let go again, and did not speak.

"Just now I asked the emperor for peace and departure, but the emperor didn't agree." Yun Xiangrong said lightly.

Huo Chen's hand tightened slightly, and then slowly let go, a faint smile flashed in his eyes.

I have never heard her mention how she wants to deal with the relationship with Zhou Mu directly, I was afraid that she would be like other women, looking forward and backward, and not daring to leave. Now she suddenly opened her mouth, and she surprised him.

"Hmm." Huo Chen hummed in response, his voice carrying a softness and joy that he had never noticed.

"But the emperor allowed me to cultivate a garden in the palace, and also assigned me twenty guards to protect my safety." Yun Xiangrong said again.

I didn't hear any movement for a long time, and there was no warm touch on my forehead when I rubbed the medicine, so Yun Xiangrong couldn't help but open his eyes.

As soon as he opened it, he saw his magnified and clear face. They were so close that it seemed like she could kiss him on the lips as soon as she looked up.

His eyes seemed to be lit up, dazzling, and he looked at himself with suppressed excitement.

Seeing his eager appearance, Yun Xiangrong raised his eyebrows and said, "Where do you want to go, I'm just for self-preservation, not for you." ”

When she said this, Huo Chen's heart was even more determined, his eyes were shining, and he smiled but didn't speak.

Rong Rong is really unspeakable.

If it was before the change, she wouldn't have said it. Every time you drive him away, you drive him away, where will it be like this!

Knowing that she had behaved today, she didn't force her anymore or demolish her, Huo Chen straightened up and continued to apply a cool plaster to her forehead.
