Chapter 212: The Living Dead
"Hey, what about the four girls?"
At this time, Lan Xing realized that he didn't seem to see the red-sleeved Green Yao and the others beside Yun Die early in the morning. Did they all take it away from that woman?
Nangong walked out of the room with a bag and replied, "Niangniang should have taken them away, or went to her shop." ”
"Let's go, let's see."
After Lan Xing finished speaking, he strode out the door.
They went to the clothes store first, only to see Qingwu and Purple Kite, Purple Kite told them that Yundie arranged for them to help run the store, if something happened, they could ask someone from Dingfeng to help, saying that she would not be able to come back for a while.
And Yunfu, Yun Die also said hello to Wu Liang in advance, and asked Hongling to put Ai Yang back, and let him be responsible for decorating some details of Yunfu, and the money was also paid to Ai Yang in advance.
Ai Yang was surprised when he got the money, because he heard Yun Die say, it's meow, it's still not as convenient as mobile phone payment.
It's just that he didn't have time to ask why, because after Yun Die said this, he hurriedly got into the carriage and left.
Therefore, when Lan Xing brought people to Yunfu, he didn't see Yun Die at all, and no one could tell him where Yun Die went.
When Ai Yang just wanted to pull the man who called himself Yun Die's husband to inquire about Yun Die's details, he didn't expect this handsome but arrogant man to run faster than Yun Die, turn over and disappear on his horse, and the short guard next to him drew his sword at him, so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything anymore.
After the two left, Ai Yang had another question.
Because when the guard was leaving, he looked at him carefully for a long time, and muttered, "Why is he here?" ”
"Boss Wu, what do they mean?"
Ai Yang had to ask Wu Liang, who was looking at the sky above him worriedly.
Wu Liang glanced at him, a little impatient, "How do I know?" It's the prince, the prince! With that, he turned and walked away, and went back to work.
Ai Yang looked up at the sky that Wu Liang had seen just now, and muttered in confusion, "Nothing!" ”
***********
I don't know why, the gates of the imperial capital were closed, and the forbidden troops on the street suddenly increased, and the pedestrians who had been leisurely shopping began to run and dodge, and for a while, the street was chaotic, mixed with the cries of children and the exclamations of adults, as well as the sound of horses' hooves from time to time.
"Who?"
"Open the door! Open the door! ”
Nangong shouted, took out Lan Xing's jade pendant from his waist, and the two guards guarding the door looked at it, and quickly stopped the other companions from stepping forward, and then respectfully saluted Lan Xing, "I don't know if it's His Royal Highness the Prince, I hope His Royal Highness will forgive me." ”
"Get up, I ask you, why did you close the gates in broad daylight?"
"This .....," the guard at the door hesitated, "this is an order from above, as if to check for some suspicious person." ”
"Open the door, Your Highness is going out of the city!"
Nangong interrupted the man's words and ordered without waiting for the man's explanation.
"But the top said....." The guard was obviously hesitant, quietly glanced at Lan Xing, and quickly lowered his head.
"Why, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't go out either?"
"This ......"
"Are you responsible for delaying the major affairs of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Nangong threatened coldly with a straight face.
"Open!"
The guard hesitated for a moment, then said to his companion.
"Boom...."
The heavy city gate finally opened, and Lan Xing looked at the obviously deserted street behind him with some concern, gritted his teeth, and rushed out on horseback, and the city gate slowly closed again.
"Drive!"
As soon as the two of them pulled the reins, the two figures, one black and one white, quickly disappeared on the avenue at the city gate, raising dust to obscure the afternoon sun, and the whole sky looked so bleak.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please stay!"
Father-in-law Deng's shrill voice sounded inside the city gate, but Lan Xing, who had already run away, could no longer hear it.
"Bastard! Who told you to get him out of town? ”
Yan Qingtie's face was blue, and he raised his hand and slapped the guard who opened the door just now, and roared angrily.
"Commander Yan, you, you..... Don't hurry up and send someone to .... Go chase down His Highness? Gonggong Deng bent over and said to Yan Qing panting, some of the white old faces were flushed, which showed how fast he ran.
"Grandpa Deng, but... I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out of the city? ”
I don't know why, Yan Qing actually refused with some embarrassment.
Hearing Yan Qing's words, Gonggong Deng's face became a little unpleasant, and he said angrily in a low voice, "Commander Yan, don't you want to rebel?" What is the state of affairs in the city that you don't know now? ”
"If the emperor investigates it at that time, don't say that the miscellaneous family didn't remind you!"
Yan Qing thought for a while, retreated, approached Gonggong Deng and said, "Gonggong Deng, can you reveal what the situation in the palace is now?" ”
"Commander Yan!" Qishu.com
Gonggong Deng's expression was awe-inspiring, and he roared, "Are you impatient with life?" Believe it or not, the miscellaneous family will report to the emperor? ”
"Just do your part! The less you know about other things, the better, so as not to get into trouble! ”
Gonggong Deng warned.
Yan Qing gritted his teeth, secretly took a sip, and raised his left hand back, "Go, send a small team of people, be sure to chase His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back!" ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The two forbidden troops behind them were ordered to retreat, and soon six forbidden troops rode out of the city and headed in the direction that Blue Star had left.
In the palace, last night, Emperor Lan Hongzhen and the Queen Mother had already woken up, Lan Hongzhen went to the court to deal with government affairs, and Murong Jing was quietly recuperating in Cining Palace, Queen Murong Qiuyue sat on the side of the Queen Mother's bed with a smile on her face, and her slender fingers twisted up a purple grape and handed it to Murong Jing's mouth,
"Auntie, will you eat a grape?"
Murong Jing looked at the top of the tent with empty eyes, without a trace of expression on her face, deaf to the queen's words, and didn't even move her eyes.
"Auntie, what's wrong? Do you want Yue'er to peel your skin? ”
She smiled so kindly, retracted her hand, and then slowly peeled the grape in her hand, and gently tore a corner, revealing the purple-red flesh of the watery spirit, and a fragrant smell came to her face.
"Auntie, Yue'er has peeled all the grape skins, do you want Yue'er to feed you?"
Murong Qiuyue asked softly against Murong Jing's ear.
Murong Jing's face lying on the bed was still the same as just now, without the slightest movement, like a puppet with open eyes, not angry at all.
In fact, since she woke up last night, she has been like this, she can't speak, she doesn't move, her eyes are empty, except for her breathing and pulse are normal, she is no different from a dead person.
In her state, if Yun Die is there, she will know that the Queen Mother Murong Jing has become a vegetative person, commonly known as the living dead.
"Mother, how did you say you became like this?"
Murong Qiuyue changed her name, withdrew her hand gracefully, and slowly put the grape she had peeled for Murong Jing just now into her mouth, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she couldn't see any sadness at all.
Si Qian folded his hands on his abdomen, silently stood behind Queen Murong Qiuyue, buried his head very low, the clothes in his vest were already wet with sweat, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
The queen is getting more and more moody, yesterday, she just killed two palace maids who spilled tea, when the corpse was dragged out, it happened to be seen by the passing Si Qian, and now, the queen mother has become a living dead, the imperial doctor said that maybe one day she may return to normal, maybe, it may be like a corpse for the rest of her life.
The queen mother is the master of Si Qian, and the master has become like this, and this harem has completely become the world of Queen Murong Qiuyue alone. Recently, Emperor Lan Hongzhen's health is not very good, and he is busy with state affairs, so he may not come for a few days, even if Si Qian wants to sue, he can't find anyone to sue!
"Keep an eye on her for this palace! Don't let her die! ”
Murong Qiuyue, who was still smiling just now, changed her face coldly, flicked her long sleeves, stood up with a "puff", ordered the two palace maids behind her, and then dragged her long skirt away.
After she left, Si Qian saw two tears flowing from the corners of Murong Jing's eyes.
Seeing this, Si Qian said to the two palace maids left by the queen, "You go and get some warm water for the queen mother, and then get some porridge for the mother." ”
One of the two palace maids is called Caixia and the other is Caiyan, although the two of them heard Si Qian's words, they were not moved at all.
Si Qian was furious, "Didn't you hear the queen's instructions just now?" Don't starve the Queen Mother! Why, do you want to disobey the queen's will? ”
"Humph!"
Caiyan and Caixia glared at Si Qian angrily, and reluctantly went out to prepare to go.
It wasn't until he couldn't see the backs of the two of them that Si Qian quickly closed the door of the palace, quickly came to the bed of the Queen Mother Murong Jing, took out the handkerchief in his arms and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Murong Jing's eyes, glanced around vigilantly, and then leaned closer to Murong Jing's ear and whispered, "Queen Mother, do you need the slave maid to help you do anything?" ”
Hearing Si Qian's words, Murong Jing's ears moved, and finally his gaze slowly fell on Si Qian's face.
"Mother?"
Si Qian called softly, she thought, Murong Jing needed help, but she didn't know if she could help her.
Murong Jing's eyes turned very slowly, it was very difficult, she tried hard to open her mouth, but she couldn't do it after trying for a long time. Murong Jing's hand under the quilt also tried to lift it, but she couldn't even move it slightly.
"Mother, can't you still speak?"
Si Qian asked in a low voice with the last glimmer of hope.
Murong Jing was very anxious, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't express what she meant.
All she could do now was keep crying, slightly cloudy tears dripping down the corners of her eyes and onto the pillow embroidered with red peonies, and soon became wet.
Si Qian is very anxious, it's been a long time, counting the time, Caiyan Caixia should be coming back, if Niangniang can't express anything, then what should I do? But if she lets the queen see something unusual, she is afraid that she will not even be able to save her life, let alone mention the gate of Cining Palace.
"Star..."
The Queen Mother said it very difficult and vague, but Si Qian still heard it.
She asked again uncertainly, "Niangniang, are you asking me to send a letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" If so, you blink. ”
Murong Jing's eyes blinked with difficulty.
"Niangniang, the slave maid understands what you mean, are you asking the slave to tell His Royal Highness the prince all about the situation here, and let the prince come to save you, right?"
This time, Murong Jing didn't blink, and Si Qian was a little confused.
Just as she was about to ask, Caixia and Caiyan came in with trays and basins, and Caixia looked at Si Qian suspiciously, "You didn't do anything, did you?" ”
