Chapter 595: Vitality
Chu Junlan squatted in front of the special mark to observe it carefully, and found that the shape was very familiar. She hurriedly pulled the jade whistle out of her neckline and compared it.
Sure enough, the mark was the shape of the jade whistle, which was a token between her and Xiao Xu, and only the two of them knew!
So this mark was left by Xiao Xu? Did he come to Huaijing?
Chu Junlan's chaotic mood that was originally impacted by the chaotic palace has now calmed down. Xiao Xu is here, so at least he's fine. As long as Xiao Xu is okay, what else is she afraid of?
Chu Junlan walked in the direction pointed by the whistle on the mark, and sure enough, but after a while, he saw that there was also a mark in the inconspicuous corner next to the water tank in the corner, and after chasing a few marks, he saw the closed wooden door in the backyard.
Chu Junlan knew that Xiao Xu wanted her to go somewhere, so he simply climbed over the wall and left the palace, and really saw a small mark on the ground in the back alley.
Chu Junlan simply pursued this mark, and chased it for several streets, and finally the mark stopped in front of the back door of an inn with excellent business.
There were several carts parked at the back door of the inn, as well as two ordinary panniers.
The so-called pannier sedan chair is used by horses or mules in front and behind to carry a warm sedan chair to reduce bumps when traveling long distances. Standing next to the pannier chair was a tall middle-aged man in an ochre-colored coat, chatting with a few people with the same handlebar style.
Chu Junlan looked at each other and only felt familiar.
When the man saw Chu Junlan, he immediately greeted with a smile: "This son, do you want to hire a sedan car?" ”
Chu Junlan smiled and asked, "Yes, I'm going to go around, which car is yours?" ”
"Oh, you've found the right person. This one is mine, look at the warm curtain on this carriage, this is all just washed by my muddy house. You take my car, it's clean and warm. ”
Chu Junlan looked in the direction that the man was pointing, and there was an inconspicuous little whistle drawn in the corner of the dark blue warm curtain of the carriage.
Chu Junlan was overjoyed, and said with a smile on his face: "Then take your car." So saying, he walked over.
The man immediately raised the warm curtain for her, "Please get in the car." ”
After Chu Junlan got into the car, he found that the space in the car was not spacious, so naturally Xiao Xu was not hidden. She was a little disappointed, but she was not in a hurry.
The man shouted and flicked his whip, and with a "snap", the carriage slowly moved towards the city.
Chu Junlan clasped his hands, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, his body swayed with the carriage, and after walking for about half an hour, the carriage stopped in front of the back door of a mansion.
The man lifted the curtain and said respectfully: "The princess, it's here." ”
Chu Junlan bowed his head, glanced at the man, and said with a smile: "Looking at your familiarity, are you the person next to the prince?" ”
"Yes. Please speak in the room. The man grinned and led Chu Junlan into the door.
The backyard is very close to the back house of this house, but only a few steps away, you will come to the front of the house.
Before the man could reply, the door was pushed open, and an elderly man who looked very familiar bowed and saluted.
"Princess, don't come unharmed."
Chu Junlan looked at him suspiciously, and quickly remembered who this person was.
On the day of her wedding to Xiao Xu, Wang Zhensheng, the president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, came to celebrate and carried the industrial catalogue left by Xiao Xu's maternal grandfather in a large box.
The elder in front of him was the same person who was following President Wang at that time.
"It turned out to be someone from President Wang's side? I haven't asked you for your name. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, the villain doesn't dare to ask the princess, and he can't afford to say a word of honorific surname, the villain's surname is Qiao Mingfei, and he is the chief steward of President Wang's side. If there is hot water in the house, please come into the house and talk. ”
"Then bother Joe's stewardship." Chu Junlan smiled politely and followed Qiao Fei into the house.
Hot tea and wine were really prepared in the house, Chu Junlan and Qiao Fei sat down at the square table face to face, Qiao Fei first withdrew the people serving around him, and took out a square cloth bag from his arms.
"The princess, this is the prince of the world, this is the special order of the prince to give it to you, originally this thing was placed on me, I was also very worried, fortunately, you found it so quickly."
Qiao Fei held the thing to Chu Junlan with both hands, and said with a smile: "Now that I can hand it over to you, I am fortunate not to be dishonored." ”
Chu Junlan only took it, only opened the corner of the dark blue burden outside, and his heart was moved.
It was nothing else, it was the "gold medal of exoneration" that the emperor first rewarded her privately a while ago, and then rewarded Xiao Xu with great fanfare in recognition of his contribution to the affairs of the meeting.
"This gold medal ......"
"Back to the princess, this is what the prince ordered the villain to bring to you. The prince was stumped by things right now, and guessed that life on your side was not easy, so he ordered the villain to send this thing to you. The prince said, at the critical moment, don't hesitate, as long as you show this thing, you can save your life. ”
Chu Junlan's fingers rubbed the intricate patterns on the gold medal through the muslin cloth, and his heart was already moved.
The value of the gold medal is indescribable, and in times of serious circumstances, it is something that can save lives. Xiao Xu's situation must not be optimistic, but he gave this thing to her, which gave her the chance to survive.
Chu Junlan blinked her wet long eyelashes, not wanting people to see her emotions, so she only smiled and nodded, "Thank you Qiao for taking care of things." ”
"You're welcome. These are all prepared for you, you have a good life to rest, and the villain will not bother. The courtyard here is rented by the villain, but the villain has other things to do, and he can't obey orders by your side, so please forgive me. ”
"Steward Qiao was able to bring this thing, which is already a great help, you don't have to worry about me here, I won't act recklessly."
"Yes. And the little man retired. After you've rested, someone will come and clean up. ”
Chu Junlan got up and sent people to the door.
Turning back into the house, he sat at the table, looking at the food on the table and losing his appetite.
Xiao Xu's current situation may be very bad, right? Otherwise, a person as meticulous as him would not have just sent a gold medal of exculpation in a hurry, and he would have arranged someone to protect her.
But Xiao Xu didn't arrange it, so it means that he doesn't have so many people now, or can't he arrange it?
Putting the gold medal of exoneration close to her body, Chu Junlan picked up the bamboo chopsticks, chose her favorite food and ate a few bites, and just swallowed it, she felt a burst of nausea, she hurriedly went to the side of the bucket, and vomited painfully for a while.
It seems that the effect of the medicine she took yesterday has expired.
Although he had no appetite and had just vomited, Chu Junlan still forced himself to sit down and eat again.
The current situation is tense, she has to conserve her physical strength at all times, if she can't always maintain the best condition to deal with the crisis, in case of danger, she may not have the strength to escape.
She wouldn't put herself in such a dangerous situation, even for the sake of her and Xiao Xu's children, she couldn't take that risk.
After Chu Junlan ate, he went to grab the medicine, and when he returned to the inn, he handed over the medicine to the shopkeeper, and gave the reward: "I'm tired of the little brother to help decoct the medicine." Bring it to my room later. ”
"Hey, let's go for the little ones." The shopkeeper nodded again and again, looking at the young master with a snow-white face in front of him, and secretly thought that such a rich person is not sick? It's not as good as him being healthy, and he doesn't have much money, and he is comfortable.
Chu Junlan took the medicine to stabilize the fetus and nourish his body, so he simply fell asleep.
When he got up in the evening, he went to the hall on the first floor and ordered two side dishes, eating while listening to the gossip of the people around him.
"Have you heard, Prince Gong's mansion has been raided! Everyone in their family is in prison! ”
"How can you not hear about it, it has been rumored all day today. It is said that Prince Gong was greedy for the silver that the emperor built the palace. ”
Someone diverted the topic: "Hey, have you gone to see it, the palace was built quickly, and I didn't expect that our Huaijing would become the capital now." Wouldn't it be more convenient to do any business in the future? ”
"That's what you're talking about. It's just that who would have thought that Prince Gong, a great hero who defeated the Northern Yuan Dynasty, would be greedy for the silver to build the palace in private. ”
Chu Junlan ate a few bites of food, and then held his chin and looked out the window before nightfall.
The group of people discussing behind him had already changed the conversation: "If you want to say that little medicine fairy, she was originally regarded as a great character, how majestic was that Ge Ge old in the past?" Hasn't he been upset by a righteous person like Xiao Yixian? Unexpectedly, as soon as this woman got married, she turned into a different look! ”
"But no, I never imagined that the little doctor fairy would be a murderer, I heard that because of the lost silver of the household, the emperor even sent the brocade guard, and the little doctor fairy dared to arrest, not to mention the arrest, she dared to assassinate the prince of Huai'an, and deliberately put the second son of the Huai'an palace to death!"
The person who spoke gasped: "Tsk, it's really the most poisonous woman's heart!" Such a poisonous woman should be killed. ”
"Kill the head? How can it be so simple, I heard, this person hasn't been caught yet! ”
"Ah, aren't we in danger? I heard that the little doctor fairy still uses people to test the medicine in private! ”
……
Chu Junlan couldn't help but shake her head when she heard this, the rumors from the outside world have changed like this, and she has become a murderous female demon now?
Why don't these people mention the time when she used to treat people?
Chu Junlan didn't care about eating a few more bites of food, felt a little disgusting, simply stopped the chopsticks, put his fingers on his chest and placed the gold medal close to his body, and sighed quietly.
Although the gold medal of exoneration can save his life, Chu Junlan does not intend to use it.
Because once she uses this gold medal, it means that she has pleaded guilty!
She has always preferred to die standing than to kneel and live, how can she let all the people who calculate her behind her back be happy?
Even if it really comes to the moment when she has to meet each other in life and death, she must let the people who calculate her taste the consequences, otherwise how can she eliminate the hatred in her heart?
