Chapter 15 Wanderers in Other Places
When I went back, the dawn broke in the sky, the night had passed, I thought that Liduo would appear, but there was no one in the account, I yawned, a little sleepy, I leaned on the couch and rested for a while, when I opened my eyes, I saw Liduo wearing armor and appeared in front of me.
"Lord Wang?"
I sat up with surprise on my face, but suddenly remembered what had happened before, so I immediately turned my face away and snorted coldly.
"Xiao Wang has made amends to his wife for his sins."
He picked up a bowl of chestnut rice porridge, blew it gently, and then took a spoonful and brought it to me.
I ignored it, and still turned my face sideways: "What is the prince doing, it wasn't like this yesterday." β
He smiled and said: "It's the king who is impulsive, what the lady wants to eat, what the lady doesn't want to eat, as long as the lady is happy, where should the king care about this, yesterday the king didn't go out of the tent to regret it, I wanted to make amends to the lady at that time, but on the way I learned that the military situation was urgent, so I rushed over to find Sticky Han, who knows what the eldest brother is ...... Speaking of which, I would like to thank Madame for saving my eldest brother's life, but ......"
I turned my head slightly to look at him, and he looked hesitant and frowned slightly.
"It's just...... This king really hopes that Mrs. can take care of her body, eat to increase qi and fill her deficiency, and Mrs. must at least have a suitable abdomen, so what's the harm in being thin...... I'm not a person who takes people by sex. β
"And." He continued: "In the past two days, this king found that his wife often bit her lip, thinking that it was because of the disorder of the spleen and stomach, which led to the mouth dizziness, and the cold things must not be eaten again, this king has sent someone to boil honey and beeswax into a glue for you, and after the king leaves, you must take it internally and externally every day." β
"You're leaving?"
"Well, the emperor has issued an order to let this king lead his troops to Western Xia."
"What?" I couldn't believe it: "...... So fast! β
"Last night, the secret decree that the king received in the tent of Sticky Han could have set off at an ugly time, but it ......"
He smiled and said: "However, this king still wants to see his wife again and say a few words to you, but when he sees you asleep, he doesn't want to wake you up, so he waits until now, for the sake of this porridge has been heated by this king many times, can Madame give her face, just take a sip, comeββ"
His voice was so gentle and his attitude was surprisingly soft that I lowered my head and drank the spoonful of porridge he handed me, and the next moment, my eyes felt sour.
In the final analysis, it is also my fault for this matter, and my extraordinary attachment to my body is not an insult to him.
I took the bowl and drank the porridge cleanly, and when he saw this, a smile appeared on his face, and he touched my face, then stood up and whispered to me, "I'm leaving." β
I watched him leave in a daze, only to feel that all this in front of me happened too suddenly, and when I woke up, I was told by my husband that he was about to go to the battlefield, and then I hurriedly said goodbye.
I can't describe how I felt, I felt like I was still dreaming, and on the way back from the camp in Stickyhan, I thought about the countless things that would happen when I met Ranrido.
Perhaps, I would have proudly told him that I had saved his brother, and then show disdain for the joy he had shown; Perhaps, I will be angry with him for a long time, and I will play the gonghou alone until he can't bear it anymore; No matter how bad it is, I just ran to live with Liuyun and waited for him to pick me up in person......
I was prepared for the worst in my heart, but I would never back down, but I never expected that he wouldn't even give me a chance to quarrel, and his attitude towards me was like coaxing a child.
At that moment, a thought flashed through my mind, if one day, he was really angry with me, the one who made the mistake must be me, and the mistake is unforgivable.
I stood in front of the tent door, in the slowly moving crowd in the distance, the figure of Liduo was particularly conspicuous, beside him, there was a soldier who looked back when he looked back, just met with me, he whispered something to Liduo, but Liduo, but never looked back.
Since then, I have refused all opportunities to appear in the Jurchens on the grounds that I am not feeling well, including the palace banquet presided over by the Empress Dowager Pucha herself, and I did not attend, in fact, my body is indeed sick, and the feeling of dizziness is getting worse and worse.
"You say, could it be that someone poisoned the food in the palace, which is why the palace is so weak."
"Madam, with all due respect, how many meals have you eaten these days?"
"I ......"
Under the careful arrangement of Dr. Zhang and the fact that he personally supervised me to take the medicinal diet every day, I gradually resumed my diet, but because the hunger strike lasted for a long time, the food I ate was very light.
Ten days later, Liuyun personally cooked and made some Lin'an snacks for me, just as Yan Yong greeted me.
"You're here just in time, this is your female real master, a craft that you can't learn, try it-"
I put those pastries in front of Yong'er one by one, and he was just about to pick up the piece closest to him, when I suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called him.
"Huh! Wait a minute. β
Hearing this, he stopped his movements, and I took the plate of almond crisp in front of him: "There are a lot of almonds in it, the prince once said to the palace, you once ate almonds when you were a child, and there was a large rash all over your body, and the high fever did not go away for several days, and you never dared to take it again. β
He looked at me, as if he was on the verge of being in danger, and then he lowered his head and ate to himself.
I quipped, "You kid, can't you talk to this palace?" β
"Mother wants to talk about something, just speak first, and I'll follow you."
"Why didn't you go with your father?"
"In this expedition, my father will definitely win, and I am not the only one who is missing."
"Sure to win?"
"Yes, mother doesn't have to worry, the troops sent by Western Xia are less than half of Dajin, not only the imperial uncles feel that this battle will be won, but the whole Jin country thinks so."
"How many soldiers and horses did the prince bring?"
"Two thousand."
"What about Western Xia?"
"A thousand."
I was amazed: "A thousand? Even this point of soldiers and horses dare to come to war? No one ever thought about it, would the Western Xia set up some ambush? β
"Mother rest assured, the fourth uncle will pay close attention to Xixia's actions."
Listening to Yong'er's tone of speech, I was very confident, but even if I got a positive answer about winning the battle, I still had a feeling of uneasiness in my heart, I remember that Liduo once mentioned that Wanyan Zongpan had been in the court and openly challenged him, could it be his purpose, just to give Liduo a chance to make up for his merits? If not, how would he have given up?
Thinking of this, I asked Wan Yan Yong: "Do you know, Wan Yan Zongpan is this person?" β
Seeing that he was stunned for a moment, I continued: "It is the person who once embarrassed the palace in public and asked the palace to dance. β
"Wulu has lived in the Jin Kingdom for so many years, how can he not know the person his mother said, I am just wondering, when did my mother intersect with him?"
I thought that although Wan Yanyong called me "mother", I was a Song person, and he would more or less mind me to inquire about the affairs of their Jin Kingdom, so he said: "It's just that I heard your father casually talk about this person, and it's not that this palace is interested in the political affairs of the Jin Kingdom." β
"Mother misunderstood me." He hurriedly explained, "Wulu wants you to stay away from this person. β
"Why is that?"
"My father was away in his early years, he had the experience of being assassinated, he fled all the way, and he died all his life before returning to the Jin Kingdom, and the person who sent someone to assassinate my father was Wanyan Zongpan, only because of insufficient evidence, and some other reasons, my father did not make this matter public, but at that time, my father and I did not have a father-son relationship."
If so...... Isn't that a prince......" I muttered quietly.
"What is Mother talking about?"
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. β
"In short, don't worry, my father will be victorious."
However, my concerns finally became a fact, a few days later, I was wiping the gonghou in the inner tent, but a group of soldiers suddenly broke in, I hurriedly added clothes to the outer tent, only to see Liuyun holding a long sword, at the group of fierce people in front of him, angry eyes.
"Who have you been instructed to be so presumptuous!" Liuyun shouted.
Resisting the anger in my heart, I calmly asked them, "What are you going to do here?" Raiding the house? β
After the words fell, two more people entered the account, one of them was Jin Wushu, and the other was the Han general who had spoken for me in the martial arts field and offended Yan Zhulan.
It was only from the change in the attitude towards me in this matter that I truly understood what it meant to be "not a person of my clan, whose heart must be different", and the vigilance of the whole country against me will probably never stop.
"King Lu is defeated?"
I only asked tentatively, but when the golden vulture heard this, he questioned me: "Dare to ask the princess, how do you know?" β
This sentence obviously set a trap, waiting for me to jump down, I said: "If it weren't for His Royal Highness King Lu, what would you have seen in his face and wouldn't dare to make such a mistake." β
I walked up to Liuyun, motioned for her to put away the sword, then sat down with raised eyebrows, and took a sip of tea: "His Royal Highness King Liang is a distinguished guest, and the palace is not welcome, but the tea will not be entertained, you have something to say." β
But the Han will reply to him: "The princess is angry, King Liang is also official, King Liang knows that this time the Western Xia troops, the number is so small, there must be an ambush, so he discussed with His Royal Highness King Lu, and decided to plan the plan, come to the inside and outside, I thought it was seamless, but I didn't expect to leak the news, causing King Lu to be besieged by the enemy, and the ministers were also to thoroughly investigate the traitor, not for the princess." β
"So, tell me who you've investigated now?"
He was speechless when asked.
"Heh, it turns out that I came up to thoroughly investigate the palace first."
Jin Wushu stepped forward and asked me with a solemn face: "Now, since you know the situation of the third brother, why don't you have a trace of worry on your face, do you not care about the life or death of the third brother?" β
"There are so many of you who care about King Lu, this palace is now, you should still care about yourself, you have a traitor's hat in your hand, and you are afraid that the person who will end up the worst is this palace."
"This king has no intention of fighting with you, do you dare to let this king's men search."
The atmosphere froze suddenly, and I looked at Jin Wushu for a long time, and finally, I spread my hands: "Please." β
Jin Wushu glanced at the Han general, he bowed his head in understanding, and then said to those soldiers: "King Liang has an order, all items should be handled with care, and there should be no damage in the slightest." β
"Yes."
I rubbed my ears that were shocked: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Royal Highness King Liang." β
"The princess thinks about it a lot, this king is for the sake of the third brother's camp."
After a stick of incense, a soldier came to report, but no result was found, so someone else suggested that Jin Wushu go and search the tent, and Jin Wushu was just about to give an order, I suddenly stood up and stopped: "Slow." β
"Could it be that there are ghosts in there?" A soldier said.
"Keep your mouth clean." Liuyun glared at him, word by word.
"The tent here can be covered with the fur that the prince got for the hunting of the palace, how can the palace tolerate you people, stepping on it fiercely, ruining the prince's heart to the palace."
"Youβ" The soldier was about to say something, but was waved by the Golden Vulture and motioned for him to stand back.
"In that case, how about this king go in alone?"
I was satisfied, and made a gesture of please.
I held the tea in my hand and glanced at the soldiers around me lightly, I naturally didn't take this non-existent thing to heart, but I didn't know that I was actually on the verge of danger at that time.
"What is this?" He held up the jade pendant in his hand to me.
"It's just a jade pendant, it's worth the prince's fuss?"
"So, this thing belongs to the princess?"
"Of course, you took great pains to break the mechanism in the dressing box of the palace to find out something, could it be that it is the prince yours?"
"This jade pendant is the totem of Western Xia."
The teacup in his hand fell to the ground carelessly, making a crisp sound.
"Does the princess think that this king believes in the sincerity of your visit to Jin Heqin, so she takes advantage of this to play tricks under the nose of this king? This king took every precaution, but I never expected that it would be planted in your hands in the end! β
"What do you mean by this, when will this palace-"
"Then how do you explain this jade pendant!"
I choked on the spot, thinking about how to explain, and then said, "The matter has come to this point, whatever this palace says is useless." β
"You at least say something first, if the explanation is reasonable, this kingship should never have happened."
"This jade pendant was picked up by this palace."
"The princess's words are ridiculous, am I a fool to wait!" A soldier under the Golden Vulture said.
"When did you pick it up?"
"The day before I met you."
"Lord Wang, according to his subordinates, it is unknown that Song and Xixia secretly joined forces, and they can't let go of this woman easily!" Another soldier said.
Unexpectedly, Jin Wushu turned around and kicked down the soldier who had just spoken: "Woman, woman, this is the wife of this king's brother, and it is not your turn to be rude."
The soldier hurriedly knelt down and admitted his mistake: "The subordinates lost their words for a while, and they still hope that King Liang and ...... Madame forgiveness. β
"This lady screams, but she is really unwilling and unwilling." I sneered.
"No one is allowed to spread the word about today's events, go back to the camp." The Golden Vulture ordered.
"Lord Wang, you-" His subordinates couldn't believe it.
"This king said, go back to the camp!"
So, the whole group withdrew from the camp, and Jin Wushu held the hilt of the knife at his waist and approached me step by step.
"You know...... How did Hongu come to Jinguo. "I stepped back.
"That's why the king didn't continue to ask."
He said to me: "What I bear on my golden vulture is the protection of the entire Shangjing Huining, if you are really a traitor, it is not that you are clever, but that I trust you, but from now on, I warn the princess to think twice about every move, because this king will pay special attention to you." β
After that, he added: "If the third brother can break through the siege and come back safe and sound, this matter will be stopped, and if anything happens to him, this king will never stop." β
He threw the jade pendant back to me, turned around and said, "During this time, just stay here with the princess, think about it, if the third brother encounters an accident, you can give this king and the explanation of the Jin Kingdom." β
