350, whereabouts

When Jiang Xuan and Lin Yi left Beijing, everyone was caught off guard, and after the Empress Dowager received the news, she was not unhappy, but she was worried about Jiang Xuan's safety.

After that, Jiang Xuan took thousands of people to defend Anjiakou and sent the battle report back to the capital, which caused an uproar in the capital, and everyone had different thoughts.

However, the Empress Dowager once told Gu Nian that she didn't expect Jiang Xuan to have the potential to be a female general.

This time I sent a letter asking Jiang Xuan to return to Beijing, saying that he wanted Jiang Xuan to return to Beijing to help take care of palace affairs, but in fact, he felt sorry for Jiang Xuan, thinking that the war was over, so he asked Jiang Xuan to return to Beijing to recuperate.

A letter had already been sent back to the palace from Fengling, saying that Jiang Xuan had already set off and would probably arrive in Beijing on what day, but it had been many days since that day, and the Empress Dowager still hadn't seen Jiang Xuan return to Beijing.

She muttered to the palace people in private, "I don't know what's going on with Ah Xuan, I haven't been to Beijing for so long, something should happen, right?" ”

The palace people's eyes flickered, and they said with a smile, "It's winter, and it's probably snowing on the road, and it's not easy for the carriages and horses to walk, so it's late." ”

The Empress Dowager looked at the heavy snow outside and frowned, "I knew it was freezing like this, so I asked her not to come back yet." ”

The palace people were happy, "Niangniang, it is you who urged the queen mother to come back, and it is you who is worried, slave maid, look at it, there is no better mother-in-law than you in this world." ”

The palace people have accompanied the Empress Dowager all her life, so they dare to make fun of her like this.

The Empress Dowager was also amused by her, and sighed, "Changsheng finally got such a caring daughter-in-law, where can I not hurt it, it's just a pity that Changsheng's body has to be wronged by that child." ”

knew that she wouldn't have given him such a nickname in the first place, she was always afraid that Changsheng would end up like his uncle.

In Fengyi Palace, Gu Nian leaned on the couch, her face was a little not good, Xiao Yue sat on the edge of the bed, probed her forehead, and asked,

"Is there anything uncomfortable besides throwing up?"

Gu Nian shook his head, the first two babies were not so tormented, this one was only a month, and they began to vomit non-stop, they couldn't smell any kind of smell, and they couldn't stop vomiting when they smelled it.

I even vomited when I drank water.

However, in a short period of time, Gu Nian saw that she was losing weight, but for the sake of the child in her belly, she had to cheer up and eat as much as she could.

"Sister-in-law has no news yet?" Gu Nian asked.

Xiao Yue shook his head, "Big brother has already gone to the place where the accident occurred, and there is no news yet." ”

"The Empress Dowager is old, let's hide it for the time being, if the sister-in-law really has an accident, although they haven't been together for a long time, she may not be able to bear it." Gu Nian said.

Xiao Yue nodded, "The news hasn't spread out yet, and it's still hidden, I'm afraid that after a long time, if my sister-in-law doesn't return to Beijing, her old man will be suspicious." ”

He slammed the bedboard, "Big brother finally got a caring person, but this kind of thing happened, this is really unfair!" ”

This is a bit childish, but he is really worried about Lin Yi.

Since marrying a wife, the eldest brother's whole person has changed, and he should like this wife very much.

He was really afraid that if something really happened to his sister-in-law, what would the eldest brother do at that time?

……

Originally, the cities around Fengling to Limen Pass were recovered one by one, and there were a lot of things, but since Lin Yi received the news that Jiang Xuan had fallen into the water, he threw everything away and stayed at the foot of the mountain where the accident occurred.

The rushing and roaring river, Jiang Chong's soldiers, tied ropes around their waists, one after another, from upstream to downstream, and searched for several days, but they never saw Jiang Xuan's shadow.

From receiving the letter, to rushing to the place of the accident, to today, more than ten days have passed, and he and Jiang Chong personally led the soldiers to search, from morning to night, without stopping.

They searched every inch of land, every rocky beach, every gap between boulders, but still found nothing.

Lin Yi, who was originally as warm as jade, tall and straight, now has deep eyelids, heavy blue and black around his eyes, and the stubble on his chin is messy.

In fact, generally speaking, people who fall into the river, after three days, there is no news, so the probability of basic survival is very small.

But Lin Yi didn't believe it, he didn't believe that Jiang Xuan would have an accident, he stood on the bank of the river, looked at the silent rocks, and the merciless rushing river, opened his bloodshot eyes, and shouted hoarsely, "Jiang ...... Xuan! ”

No one responded to his cries! The only thing that answered him was the wind whistling through the mountains, and the cheerful sound of the rushing water.

His heart has been crumbling, he fell to the ground, his heart was stabbed, he didn't dare to close his eyes, once he closed his eyes, Jiang Xuan's face would appear, smiling.

When she left, she said that she listened to the words of the Empress Dowager and returned to Beijing because she was afraid that she was by his side, and he couldn't bear not touching him for three months.

Because he said she wouldn't think about those things when she wasn't around.

She also said that when the three months were up, she would let him do whatever he wanted.

Then they will have another son like him, and another like her daughter.

When Lin Yi thought of this, the pain in his heart became more and more acute.

She's gone, where did the little her come from, and the little him.

There were crystal droplets of water rolling down from the corners of his eyes, and he looked up at the clouds floating in the sky, and he took a deep breath to force back the droplets that were still rolling down.

His Ah Xuan won't die!

He stood up and told Chang Yuan to call it a day, and at the same time ordered someone to prepare water, he had to bathe and change clothes, and let himself become the same self he used to be.

What if Jiang Xuan comes back one day, what if he dislikes him at that time?

……

Jiang Xuan was hit by a boulder and fell into the river and went down the current, she remembered that she hugged a floating mother tightly, and it didn't take long for her to lose consciousness.

When she woke up again, she was lying on the bed, and the clothes on her body had changed, this dress, she had seen, this was the clothes worn by the noble women of Nanyan.

Then she found herself under house arrest in a room, all her belongings had been raided, and those who served her did not answer her questions, and she tried all kinds of ways to escape, but she was stopped before she could escape from the courtyard.

Later, she didn't toss anymore. Just secretly observing the people who put her under house arrest.

She stood by the window, looking at the scenery in the courtyard outside, the scenery of this place was different from what she had ever seen, the sun fell on her face, and after a while she felt a little dazzling, she moved and hid in the shadows.

The sun hung high, lonely and lonely.

She thought of Lin Yi, as well as her father, and her eldest brother, did they know that she was still alive? Are you looking for him?

The anxiety in my heart is still helpless, and it has never been stronger.

I don't know who rescued her from the river, but since she was under house arrest, it means that the people behind the scenes want to exchange her for some benefits.

Tormented in anxiety, this day and night, there was finally a turnaround, a team of people kidnapped her out of the yard and tied her to a horse.

Jiang Xuan didn't know who they were, but these people's methods were not very good, they just tied her hands and didn't blindfold her with a cloth.

Jiang Xuan didn't act rashly since she didn't escape after she thought of all kinds of methods, she was thrown into a carriage, got into the carriage, and she wanted to open the curtain to see the situation outside while the people outside were not paying attention.

The person who followed the car outside saw the confusion in her eyes, suddenly cursed, and then ordered his accomplice to take a black cloth and blindfold her.

I don't know how long the bump lasted, but from noisy to quiet, the horse's speed finally slowed down.

Then she was dragged out of the carriage and pushed forward.

The black cloth covered her eyes, and there was a hint of light, and it seemed that it should still be daytime.

At last, she was pushed into a room as if she were an animal, and with a hard push, she stumbled and fell to the ground, and the door was 'slammed' shut.

She heard someone laughing outside, "I heard that it was the queen mother of a country, but I didn't expect it to be so young and very peugeot." ”

The other person also laughed strangely, "With fine skin and tender meat, no wonder the adults said that they couldn't touch her, it seems that they have to enjoy it themselves." ”

Jiang Xuan heard the two of them talking more and more ugly, kicked the door panel hard, and the guards outside pushed the door open and scolded angrily,

"Stinky, what are you kicking?"

Jiang Xuan was tied with his hands, but his feet were not tied, and he kicked the door just to attract people in, and when he saw someone coming in, he kicked him on the chest of the person who came.

"Who's the stinky, did you pop out of the stone?"

The man was kicked off guard, and he was about to cut Jiang Xuan when he pulled out a knife, but a person came in from behind and stopped him.

"You can't hurt her, the adults will blame her!"

Jiang Xuan raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them coldly, but the two of them were also shocked by her gaze, they just spat fiercely, gritted their teeth and put the knife back, went out of the door, and slammed the door shut.

"When the adults come, there will be your good fruit to eat."

This is how many times Jiang Xuan has heard them mention 'adult', it is obvious that the adult is their head, she is not sure who this adult is, but it should not be the person left by Xu Ye.

She had heard Xu Bin mention that Xu Ye's people called him 'old lady'. ’

Moreover, Xu Ye is dead, so who will this 'adult' be? Murong Han is called the 'Young Master', and Murong Hui is the 'Prince'.

Whoever it is, the so-called 'adult' is the head of these people.

After such a fight, the two stopped. Jiang Xuan looked through the crack in the door to see the situation outside.

Although it was said that only two people had just entered, there would be no more than just two guards in this courtyard.

After she was detained in another place, most of the day had passed, and when it was getting late outside, the footsteps and voices outside the door became denser and clearer.

It was about the 'adult' in the mouth of those outside, listening to the footsteps outside, it seemed that there were a lot of followers, and it should be a person with a fairly high status.

The voice gradually became clearer, and she heard words that did not belong to the Central Plains, nor did they belong to Nanyan.

It was as if it were a dialect of a tribe.

The people gradually approached, and through the crack in the door, Jiang Xuan finally saw clearly who the leader was.

Murong Hui! Isn't it?

It's Murong Hui!

This miscellaneous crumb, I didn't expect that the person who was there that night turned out to be his person, and he could still guard and salvage her and bring her to Nanyan!

Her heart was surging like a wave, and the scene at that time quickly flooded into her mind, and she finally understood that it should not be so simple until today.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Jiang Xuan remained silent, sat on the chair, the sound of chains outside the door sounded, and then the door was opened, and two guards came first, and then a tall and burly voice strode in.

Jiang Xuan squinted at the person opposite and said, "Murong Hui, it's really you, did you let people get me here?" What exactly do you want to do? ”

She frowned, with an angry look on her face, and her tone was even more fierce.

Murong Hui seemed to be unaware, his eyes were like an eagle, and he looked straight at her for a moment, and suddenly seemed to come back to his senses, laughed a few times, and ordered his guards in the room to go out, closed the door with his backhand, walked towards Jiang Xuan, and said with a smile,

"Queen Mother, the first time you came to Nanyan, it was also the king who brought you over, this time still, I think we are really fateful.

Don't worry, I will never hurt you, you should know, my nephew Murong Han and I are now incompatible with each other.

However, I don't want to deal with him, so I want to bring you over and persuade him not to go against me, anyway, he just wants to be a peaceful prince, it is better to give up the position of the lord of the country to me. ”

Jiang Xuan laughed and squinted at him, this person was really the most shameless person she had ever seen, obviously he was arresting her to blackmail others, but he was cleverly said to be 'persuasion'.

This person and a mad dog in the shadows, secretly snooping, waiting for the opponent to relax, then pounced on the opponent and bit the opponent's neck.

Mean and shameless!

"Murong Hui, you are just a thing as smelly as a rat crossing the street, you want the position of the lord of the country, use your own strength to take it, what kind of hero is it to catch a female streamer? Aren't you afraid of being looked down upon? ”

She looked at Murong Hui, and the ridicule and contempt in her eyes were obvious.

Murong Hui's eyes were gloomy, and he snorted coldly, "What I want Murong Hui, I want to get it by any means, what kind of woman are you?"

The female generation can't lead a few thousand people to stop the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Northern Barbarian Prince.

Besides, what does it matter to you that others look down on me? ”

After speaking, he paused, "If you don't want to persuade Murong Han, there is actually another way, you are Lin Yi's pawn, if you are useful, Lin Yi should come to Nanyan obediently, and when the time comes, the two of you are in hand, and you are not afraid that you will leave the emperor without compromise." ”

"If Lin Yi doesn't come, your family will complain about him at that time, and it will inevitably cause infighting at that time, and it is actually good for me to sit on the fisherman's strength."

Jiang Xuan's heart was full of anger, but his face was very calm.

Because of An Jiakou's desperate resistance, Murong would treat her as an ordinary woman, and he would be extra wary of her.

Then if she wants to leave, it will be impossible for a while.

She closed her eyes and didn't speak, asking her to persuade Murong Han? Are you kidding?

Murong Hui didn't know, and he also knew that Jiang Xuan couldn't easily agree to her, so he slowed down his voice and said,

"You are my nephew's favorite, rush this, I won't do anything to you, you think about it slowly, you are very weak after falling into the water, you are in this body first, and when you take care of your body, I will send Murong Han to accompany you."

His face was evil, and the word 'accompanying' was particularly ambiguous.

"Murong Hui, are you crazy? Who am I, and how dare you do this to me? My husband wouldn't have watched me suffer such humiliation, and my father, you wouldn't have known who he was! ”

"Dispel your dirty, filthy thoughts as soon as possible."

Murong Hui's face suddenly became more and more gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said,

"I, Murong, will be a person who is afraid of things? If you are afraid, you will not instigate the people of the Great Prince of the Northern Barbarians to chase and kill you, let alone wait downstream, just to catch you! ”

Jiang Xuan's face slowly turned pale, and his body shook, it turned out that all this was a conspiracy of Murong Hui, and it was strange that the people at those post stations didn't talk much at the beginning, and they all shrank in the room, trying to catch her in the middle of the night.

Because the appearance of the Northern Barbarians is different from that of the Central Plains, as well as the accent of speech, etc.!

"How could I not know who your father is? Don't worry, I will also let your father accompany you, you executioners, I will let you die one by one without a place to be buried, and you will end up the same as Xu Ye! ”

Jiang Xuan shuddered when she heard this, Murong Hui's words made him understand everything, it turned out that he was the culprit, he was indeed a rat living in a dark stinky ditch as she thought.

Her hands behind her back clenched into fists.

Murong Hui was very satisfied with Jiang Xuan's performance, and shouted outside the door, and soon, a maid came in, "Good life to serve, if there is half a point of carelessness, I will ask you." ”

Murong Hui looked at Jiang Xuan with his eyes, and commanded the maid in his mouth, and his tone was stern.

The maid looked a little panicked, bowed her head, and put her hands in her sleeves.

Murong Hui seemed to be satisfied with the maid's panic, turned around and went out, gave a few more orders at the door, and left.

……

The Empress Dowager counted the days, thinking that even if Jiang Xuan delayed for a few days, she should be in the capital soon, but unexpectedly, she received a letter from Lin Yi, saying that Jiang Xuan would stay in Fengling for the time being and deal with Fengling's affairs with him, and would not return to Beijing first.

The Empress Dowager had an atmosphere for a while, but she was helpless, she didn't blame Jiang Xuan, she only blamed her son, she knew her son's temperament.

Jiang Xuan didn't return to Beijing, so she could only take over the palace affairs again and help take care of them, the strange thing is that it was just a little prince, and the palace affairs were taken over again, and there were a lot more things, those who looked down as if they didn't understand anything, they also came to ask for instructions, and they also came to ask for instructions.

Even Gu Nian, this time because of the rapid weight loss of the pregnancy, everyone was extra careful, and some things about Fengyi Palace, the palace people also went to Yongfu Palace to ask for instructions.

For a while, the Empress Dowager didn't have the energy to complain about her son, she just thought, it doesn't matter if Jiang Xuan doesn't come back, these palace people still wait for her to train her and then let Jiang Xuan come back and take over.

In the city where Jiang Xuan fell into the water, Lin Yi accepted the daily affairs in the city, and at the same time, the aftermath of the incident from Fengling to Limen Pass was also reported to him here.

Everyone around Lin Yi can feel his changes.

It's Chang Yuan, who grew up with him since he was a child, and he has never seen such a emperor.

Lin Yi no longer had a gentle smile on his face, he was silent, and buried himself in various official affairs and official documents every day, tirelessly.

Of course, he used to be a very light person, but he knew how to combine work and rest, otherwise he would not have escaped from the palace.

Now, from till night, it seems as if he wants to exhaust all his energy, as if this will not know the pain.

Chang Yuan couldn't help but persuade him, "Emperor, let's take a break, if Niangniang sees you like this, she will be sad." ”

Why doesn't Lin Yi want to take a break? But when he paused, he couldn't help but think about Jiang Xuan, he couldn't find her body, he didn't dare to think about it, she might be dead again.

Just thinking about it, his heart throbbed uncontrollably, and in the end, it was empty, and it couldn't be mended.

He can only keep himself doing things, and fall asleep when he is very tired, so that he will feel better.

Jiang Chong had already dispersed the people, and the portrait of Ah Xuan had been passed out.

"Emperor, this is the medicine ordered by Mr. Zhang, you have to take it." Outside, Biwan cautiously brought in the medicine bowl.

Seeing this, Lin Yi's heart hurt again, this medicine was for the two of them to take in the future, but now, the person who worked together is gone.

He doesn't eat it, why should he eat it? What's the point of him eating?

He looked at the bowl of medicine like an enemy, and in the end, he drank it all.

Chang Yuan prayed to the gods and Buddhas in heaven every day to be able to see the sadness and grief of the master, as long as the body of the mother is not found, the emperor will still have hope, once the body is found......

On this day, while he was on official business, a letter was sent from outside, saying that someone had stuffed it into the crack of the door of the yamen.

There was a small strand of hair on it, and it was written to hand it over to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didn't care about letting Chang Yuan go to check for drugs or something, he carefully took off the strand of hair, opened the envelope, and looked at it expressionlessly, and in the end, he suddenly grabbed the collar of the servant, and roared with a blue face, "Did the person who delivered the letter see it?" ”

The official was taken aback, and shook his head like a rattle, saying that he did not know.

……

Jiang Xuan's house arrest life has passed for another month, and this month, Murong Hui has not come. The maid who waited for her did not untie her wounded ropes, dressed, washed, fed, and even went to the clean room.

At first, she fought, but the maid was just a face, you said I listened, but what should be the same expression.

In the end, Jiang Xuan stopped fighting and tossed with the maid.

However, when she asked the maid something about Murong Hui and Murong Han, the maid would say everything she knew.

For example, Murong Hui and Murong Han are now facing off, but it is obvious that Murong will be at the bottom of the peak.

Jiang Xuan listened, gloating, Murong Hui is a rebel thief, naturally it is difficult to fight against orthodoxy, especially this orthodoxy is not a mediocre and unscrupulous monarch, if you want to be the lord of the country at will, where is it so easy?

She kept praying that Murong Han could win, hoping that he would be of some use and arrest Murong Hui.

The maid would also tell Jiang Xuan that Murong Han hadn't married a wife yet, and there wasn't even a maid around, and they were all small servants, and she suspected that Murong Han had a habit of breaking sleeves.

Jiang Xuan pursed her lips, she didn't know if Murong Han had a habit of breaking sleeves, but she once said to Murong Han that she should not be like those ordinary men, and when she saw a woman, she would catch her and sleep, otherwise it would not be sleeping with a woman, but being prostituted by a woman.

I hope he won't be prostituted by a woman at will.

She sighed.

Will Murong Han know that she is here?

Soon, she met Murong Han.

That day, she was being fed by the maids like a little doll, and Murong Hui came, he brought a lot of maids, and also brought a lot of gorgeous clothes and jewelry, and with a wave of his hand, he asked those maids to help her dress up, and finally covered her face with a veil, sat on a shoulder, and was carried in an unknown direction.
