Chapter 222: The Queen Mother returns to the palace
Regarding Gu Yanzhen's alien words from time to time, Chu Xinyun said that she was already very calm.
"So what now?" Gu Yanzhen gestured with his eyes to the rope that bound his body.
Chu Xinyun still shook his head, "Wait and see." ”
"Oh!"
At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Chu Xinyun heard someone outside asking, "What about people?" ”
"In it." It was the voice of another man.
"Still dizzy?"
"I guess I didn't hear anything coming from inside."
Then there was a sound of snort, Chu Xinyun immediately closed his eyes, and Gu Yanzhen also closed his eyes when he saw this.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted at this time, and he glanced at it casually, and then lowered the curtain again.
"Two people? Yes, this business is not a loss, take it well, this is money. ”
"Thank you, Master Ma."
Then the carriage went on again.
Chu Xinyun guessed from these words that he and Gu Yanzhen might have been sold.
The carriage probably walked for a while, and then stopped again, the curtain was lifted, and Chu Xinyun only felt that he was being carried.
Lying on the man's back, she secretly opened one eye, originally wanting to take a look at the surrounding scenery, but because she was carrying it, she could only look at the ground.
Immediately after, Chu Xinyun was locked up in a room.
It wasn't until there was a sound of locking outside that Chu Xinyun opened his eyes.
"I'll go, what the hell is this!" And Gu Yanzhen, who was beside her, also opened her eyes in time, "What should I do now?" ”
"Should we be in the hands of the traffickers now, or should we find something to untie the rope first, and then we can think about how we want to escape." Chu Xinyun analyzed.
It was probably Chu Xinyun's calm appearance that affected Gu Yanzhen, and her somewhat restless heart also settled down at this moment.
Chu Xinyun looked around and found that this room was really empty, but there wasn't even a teacup.
She was a little desperate.
Chu Xinyun sat down decadently, "Nothing!" ”
And Gu Yanzhen seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he said happily to Chu Xinyun: "Quick, you help me take out the thing on my waist." ”
Chu Xinyun groped around Gu Yanzhen's waist with her two tied hands, and touched a hard thing, and then she took it out of Gu Yanzhen's waist.
"What is this?" Because her hands were tied behind her back, Chu Xinyun only knew that the thing was hard and cool, but she couldn't see what it was.
"I found someone to make a special knife." Gu Yanzhen smiled proudly, "You give me the knife." ”
Gu Yanzhen stretched out her hand, and Chu Xinyun put the knife in her hand.
Gu Yanzhen groped carefully, then opened the knife and cut around the rope, and finally cut it. When she freed her hands and feet, she went inside to help Chu Xinyun untie them.
Chu Xinyun moved her hand, which was a little numb because she had been tied for too long, and then looked at the knife in Gu Yanzhen's hand, which looked a little strange, different from the dagger she usually saw, a small one.
"What kind of knife is this?" Chu Xinyun couldn't help asking.
Gu Yanzhen took the knife and shook it, "Oh, this, I don't know how to explain it to you, anyway, I saw it in an ancient book, and I thought it was very convenient, so I found a blacksmith to help me polish this." ”
Gu Yanzhen looked at Chu Xinyun's curious expression, and couldn't help but stick out his tongue in his heart. She didn't want to lie, if Chu Xinyun was a traverser like her, then she would definitely know that this was a very common utility knife in modern times.
"Then why did you put this on your body? How dangerous! Chu Xinyun couldn't help but say more.
Gu Yanzhen grinned and said to Chu Xinyun: "Because I usually like to carve things, and it's not convenient to put them at home, so I carried them with me, but I didn't expect this little thing to save our lives." ”
Chu Xinyun nodded, very agreeable.
Removing the rope from her hand, she walked to the window again, opened it and looked at it, and found a pond beneath the window.
If they were to escape through the window, they would fall into the pond. And if you fall into the water, you will make a sound, which will inevitably attract their attention, so this method will be lost.
"Huh? O pond! Gu Yanzhen also leaned over and took a look, "What are you looking at?" ”
"Escape route."
The capital, the palace of King Li.
"Master, the princess is gone." As soon as Hanchen received the news, he immediately reported it to Yan Qinchang.
Yan Fen stood up evilly, "Prepare the horse." ”
Han stopped Yan Qinchang and persuaded: "The Queen Mother is coming back soon, and you still have to stay in the capital to welcome the Queen Mother!" I've already sent someone over to the princess, and if Chiyun is there, he won't let anything happen to the princess. ”
Yan Qinchang pondered slightly for a moment, but he didn't refute.
He sat back in his seat and pressed the bridge of his nose tiredly, "You must ensure the safety of the princess." ”
"Don't worry, master." After saying that, Hanchen turned around and went out.
Yan Qinchang opened the fold and originally wanted to continue to deal with the matter in hand, but because of Chu Xinyun's disappearance, his heart became restless. If he didn't confirm her safety for a day, he couldn't let go of his mind for a day.
Finally, he threw the fold back on the table, and leaned back lazily, staring ahead, not knowing what to think.
Three days later, the Queen Mother returned to the court.
Five years ago, because Emperor Qingheng had a serious illness and never got better, the world said that Xi'an Temple was extremely effective, so the Queen Mother took her only niece Lin Hui'an to Xi'an Temple to pray for blessings.
She once swore in front of the Buddha that if she could make Emperor Qingheng well, she would be willing to stay here for five years. I don't know if it was the Queen Mother's sincerity that moved the heavens, or what the reason was.
After that day, Emperor Qingheng's body began to slowly improve.
The Queen Mother received the news, and she was even more devoted to the Buddha, just like the oath she made in front of the Buddha, she stayed for five years.
Now it is just the end of five years, and it is also the day when the Queen Mother returns.
In the afternoon of the same day, at the gate of the palace, Emperor Qingheng, Empress Yuanchun, Yan Qinchang and hundreds of civil and military officials stood at the gate of the palace to welcome the return of the Queen Mother.
In the golden sunlight, an elegant carriage drove from far and near to the palace gate.
The carriage was covered on all sides with expensive and fine silk, and the gold-encrusted windows were obscured by a curtain of pale blue crepe.
The breeze blew and drove the crepe, and the extremely beautiful side face of the woman sitting in the carriage could be seen faintly.
The carriage did not stop until it reached Emperor Qingheng and them.
Then, two palace maids and a grandmother stepped out of the car first. The maid in green took out a small stool and put it down, while the maid in pink lifted the curtain.
A long, white hand with pale pink kodan on its nails reached out first. Then, as the man bent down and came out of the carriage, everyone stared at the man's face and couldn't help but admire, where did this fairy come from?
I saw that the woman was wearing a lotus-colored gauze skirt, holding a milky white soft gauze in her hand, and a belt of the same color was tied around her waist, which tied her waist Yingying, highlighting her graceful figure, three thousand green silk were pulled up, and a royal blue butterfly hairpin was inserted in the bun.
On that face with the color of a captivating city, the eyes occasionally flowed, and they were even more radiant.
Lin Hui'an was helped out of the carriage by the pink-clothed palace maid, stood still, stroked his temples, and behaved generously, which is worthy of growing up beside the Queen Mother since he was a child.
What came out was the Empress Dowager of the Dynasty, Emperor Qingheng and Yan Qinchang took a step forward, took the position of the pink-clothed palace maid, and personally helped the Empress Dowager down.
The Queen Mother pulled the corners of her mouth in satisfaction and showed a rare smile.
"The son welcomes the queen mother back to the palace." The two let go of the hand holding the Queen Mother, shook their sleeves, bowed slightly, and made a big salute.
The ministers who followed behind also saluted, "The ministers welcome the Queen Mother back to the palace." ”
"Let's get flat!" The Queen Mother waved her hand, called Lin Hui'an, who was waiting behind, and drove back to the palace.
Emperor Qingheng waved off a group of ministers and returned to the palace with Empress Yuanchun.
As for Yan Qinchang, he followed behind the Queen Mother and walked with Lin Hui Anping.
Lin Hui'an straightened his chest, raised his head slightly, and looked at Yan Qinchang from time to time. She didn't expect that a few years later, the child who followed her at the beginning had now grown into such a handsome and heroic appearance. Thinking about what the Queen Mother said to her before, her face flushed slightly.
"Cousin, in the past few years, is he okay?"
Realizing that it was Lin Hui'an talking to him, Yan Qinchang said, "It's good." ”
Lin Hui'an choked his throat when he saw Yan Qinchang's brief reply, "In the past, you always liked to follow me and call me Sister An An, but you are so big in the blink of an eye." ”
"Hmm." Yan Qinchang's answer was still brief.
Lin Huian wanted to say something, but when he looked up, he saw a few big characters in Qianning Palace.
There were already eunuchs and palace maids waiting at the door in the Qianning Palace, and as soon as they saw the Queen Mother and others, they all knelt down and saluted the Queen Mother, "Slaves and maids and servants visit the Queen Mother." ”
The Queen Mother restrained her smile and said in her extremely majestic voice: "Get up!" ”
Entering the palace, Mama Mao and Lin Hui'an sat on the couch on the left and right, holding the hand of the Queen Mother.
Xu was tired of hurrying, the Queen Mother couldn't help but rub her temples, her cloudy eyes trembled slightly, "This person is old, and his energy is just not good." ”
"Mother, you are still young!"
The Queen Mother shook her head and said with a smile: "You kid, you are used to coaxing people." ”
"What the prince said is true, aunt, you are not old at all, if the two of us are together, maybe people will think we are sisters!" Lin Huian took advantage of the situation to hold the arm of the Queen Mother and lay on her shoulder with a well-behaved face.
The Queen Mother's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, "You two children, you know how to coax me." Then he said, "In the past, the two of you had a good relationship, but now you haven't seen each other for a few years, but you have separated." It's all my aunt's fault, if it weren't for my aunt who had to take you with me at that time, you would have already found a good husband by now. ”
When the Queen Mother said this, she glanced at Yan Qinchang, but saw that he was sitting firmly in the chair and did not move, and he didn't seem to have any other thoughts.
