Chapter 95
I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I quickly got dressed and went back to my room, forgot to wring out my hair, and lay down all night full of worries, and successfully tossed myself to the point of falling ill.
The next day he was about to set off to continue his journey, and Du Ling heard that Shen Ruowen was sick, although it was awkward, but he still mustered up the courage to test her hot forehead.
"Just leave it in my carriage and take care of it."
Somewhat annoyed, he took Shen Ruowen from the hands of the others, stopped the waist and picked the person up, he asked the guys who were going to take Shen Ruowen down first, and leaned the burned Shen Ruowen on the thick blanket.
Looking at her sleepy face, Du Ling felt that his heart, which had been calm for more than twenty years, suddenly began to beat.
This is a girl, thinking of their previous relationship, he felt that this person was different from the children of the family he had seen, there was an indescribable lively and interesting, I just wanted to make friends with him, at this time I knew that it was a girl, and I felt a little strange in my heart.
Such a weak person, I don't know what I have experienced, I will be displaced to the border, if it is really like what she said that she can only go to people, maybe I can help.
He thought about it a lot, Shen Ruowen felt as if someone was helping him cover the quilt and feed himself medicine, and couldn't help muttering.
"Ashu ....."
Du Ling, who was about to help Shen Ruowen wipe her face, was stunned, just now he seemed to hear Shen Ruowen's dream words, could it be whose name was he calling.
"Shen... Miss Shen, what do you say? ”
Shen Ruowen was in a daze at this time, dreaming that Fu Yuxiu was beheaded as a prisoner in Baixia, and frowned worriedly and exclaimed: "Don't, little mute!" ”
Du Ling thought she was just having a nightmare, and wanted to withdraw her hand a little embarrassed, to be honest, being held by Shen Ruowen's hand did make him a little uncomfortable.
At this time, the next city gate was already in front of him, because it was getting closer and closer to the capital, and the people of the imperial court were becoming more and more strict, and when he saw that there was another person in the Duling carriage, it was like coming in to check it.
Shen Ruowen also came to her senses when she heard the movement, these people were all sent by Emperor Xuan, maybe they were just to catch themselves, and now the Shen family can't be contacted, if they catch themselves unconsciously, it will be troublesome.
Hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Du Ling next to him, "I escaped from exile on the border, and I must not be exposed, otherwise I will be recaptured, and I won't go back." ”
Her words were full of sincerity, and Du Ling did not doubt him, and nodded seriously.
At this time, the officers and soldiers had already opened the curtain and came in, but what they saw was a woman snuggled in Du Ling's arms, with a weak face.
"Lord Du, we were ordered by the imperial court to search for fugitives, and we were offended."
This Du family is a famous imperial businessman, and the bosses of these small soldiers have specially greeted them, don't embarrass the Du family to and from the caravan, so if you can not offend, you will not be offended.
Du Ling nodded impatiently, "If there is anything to ask, hurry up, my concubine can't blow the cold wind if she has a cold." ”
As he spoke, he used a blanket to cover Shen Ruowen in his arms tightly.
The officer and soldier hurriedly nodded again and again, it turned out that this Du Gongzi was also a hurtful person, and he didn't know which woman had such a blessing to be favored by him, the Du family was a giant family that rivaled the wealth.
"I wonder if your concubine can show her talisman and let us check her identity?"
The officer and soldier had already been cautious and careful, but he still saw that Master Du's face was gloomy, and the medicine bowl in his hand was fiercely used to the small table.
"What kind of talisman to show, my concubine I brought back from Anyu Kingdom, how can there be a talisman of the Xuan Dynasty, haven't we already told you adults, what is the big deal for our Du family to bring someone back to the capital? What's your name, I'll go and ask him again if he didn't say hello to you. ”
The officer and soldier were scared half to death, although he was sure that his boss had not told him about it, but the uncle in front of him was not something he dared to offend, so he could only get off the carriage stupidly.
Isn't Shen Ruowen married to the third prince, besides, it is impossible for the eldest lady of the Shen family to be someone else's concubine anyway, that woman may really be just a foreigner in Anyu Kingdom, and the Du family has often hired some foreigners to bring in the Xuan Dynasty over the years, which is not a big deal.
Waiting for the carriage to leave again, Shen Ruowen came out of Du Ling's arms in fear, she didn't expect that the capital was so strict with her search now, what did she want to do, did she want to take advantage of her absence in the Shen family to carve up the general's mansion?
"Thank you so much just now, but soon I will be able to find someone to defect to, and I won't continue to trouble you."
After entering the capital, it will be much more convenient to contact the Shen family, and then go back first and then make plans.
Du Ling couldn't relax, because he could sensitively sense that the person in front of him might not just be the orphan of an insignificant petty official, otherwise how could he be afraid of these officers and soldiers who were patrolling.
"If you are just an ordinary fugitive, you don't need to be afraid of the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court patrol at all, these people are all to track down the eldest lady of the Shen family's recent disappearance, and you happen to believe in Shen."
His words are self-evident when it comes to this, the imperial court has sent people to search for Shen Ruowen, the eldest lady of the Shen family, at various checkpoints, this matter was originally confidential, and few people know about it, but Du Ling has some of his own network along the way, and a county guard who drank with him inadvertently confided in this matter.
Shen Ruowen didn't expect him to know the inside story of the matter so quickly, but now he is indeed a wanted person everywhere, maybe someone wants to catch him in secret.
"Then ....." she hesitated, thinking that it was better to leave by her own, it would not be good to trouble others.
"I'll send you back."
Du Ling didn't say anything, in fact, he had already guessed Shen Ruowen's identity, but the ghost envoy's figure was not dismantled, so let him send her back for this last journey.
The closer she got to the capital, the more uneasy Shen Ruowen became, because from the news she heard, now the second brother is completely letting go of the Shen family, he and King Chen are against the emperor together, and even use the forces that he has been carefully hiding to help King Chen do things in the court.
This is the most taboo of the Shen family, that is, to stand among several favored princes, once he goes against the emperor, then it will not only attract his blows, but also let the opponent concentrate on dealing with the Shen family, I didn't expect that my brother would suddenly break the balance that the Shen family has worked hard to maintain for many years.
Now that he is clearly on the side of King Chen, it will not only make Emperor Xuan jealous of the two of them, but also attract the prince's counterattack, which destroys the emperor's balance, so he will not let someone form a gang under his nose.
How could the second brother be so confused, even if the Shen family really wants to be closer to King Chen, they don't need to get into it so much, if King Chen loses power, the Shen family will also fall into a place of no return.
