Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Dark Shadow of the Palace
Updated: 2014-04-30
Emperor Zhaoxuan's order went down, all the people seemed to be relaxed, and it seemed to be heavier, Qin Yunuan tightened her brows, she knew very well what Emperor Zhaoxuan meant, this method was undoubtedly the best, it not only ensured the lives of these ministers and nobles, but also had no extraneous branches, and the people present were originally the ones who knew about Guo Shidong's appearance, so it didn't matter whether it was confidential or not.
But......
This means that Emperor Zhaoxuan is gambling with the lives of the ordinary people in the capital, if Guo Shidong's prediction is accurate, it will lead to the death of countless innocent people, and the family will be ruined, but moving the family out of the capital in the middle of the night is also a big project.
"Third young grandmother, be careful." After knowing that Qin Yunuan was pregnant for a month and a half, the happiest person was Princess Ning, and she also specially sent her personal maid Qingzhu to serve Qin Yunuan, and it was important to ensure that Qin Yunuan's body would not be damaged in the slightest.
Qingzhu helped Qin Yunuan to get up, and Princess Ning also came over to talk to Qin Yunuan with a smile: "Yunuan, now that you are also a double-body person, you have to be careful in everything." β
Qin Yunuan nodded towards Princess Ning, and then followed Qingzhu out of the palace gate, and followed the big team to get into the carriage, such a big travel battle has never been there, Leng Changxi, as the first military general in the court, naturally wants to take the lead in the front, so he did not have the same carriage as Qin Yunuan, but there is cold frost to protect him outside, and there is nothing to worry about.
Qin Yunuan touched her lower abdomen, thinking about what Guo Shidong said in the palace, is she really pregnant? Impossible, no matter how you think about it, the large army marched along a relatively remote path, and the people along the way looked at such a majestic formation, some rushed out to see the excitement, and some were afraid of annoying the holy car and hid far away, but no one imagined that this was the entire aristocracy of Daqi was hiding from an unwarranted earthquake, and most people only thought that this was the emperor preparing to rush to the palace on a whim to admire the moon, after all, there was such a precedent before.
The vanguard walked extremely fast, and there was no rest halfway, and slowly the team behind was a little unable to keep up, Qin Yunuan was one of the backward ones, at night, it began to rain lightly, and the road began to become a little muddy.
Suddenly, Qin Yunuan's carriage tilted, and the entire carriage jolted, Qin Yunuan was startled, but soon the cold voice was outside to comfort Qin Yunuan and said, "Third young grandmother, don't be afraid, it's just that the carriage has fallen into the quagmire." β
Man'er immediately opened the curtain and took Qin Yunuan from the inclined carriage, held up the cloth umbrella to block the rain, and seeing that Qin Yunuan's face was a little pale, Man'er immediately taught the coachman: "How did you catch the car?" Are you trying to frighten our three young grandmothers? β
The coachman knew that Qin Yunuan had always been good-tempered, and the maids around him would not bully others, but this time everyone said that the third young grandmother was naturally ten thousand careful when she was pregnant, and hurriedly apologized: "It's a small mistake, but just now the little one suddenly saw a figure flashing, afraid of hitting someone, and took the reins of the horse hard, but he didn't expect that there was a quagmire on the right, and asked the third young grandmother to forgive him;
γ β
"Figures?" Man'er was a little surprised, "It's strange, I've been staring ahead, and I haven't seen a figure, could it be that you are a little lazy, and your eyes are dazzling for a while." β
"No, no, how dare the little one, the little one really saw a figure, so he went, and went in the direction of the woods." The coachman explained.
"Forget it," Qin Yunuan subconsciously glanced at the grove, the black birch grove couldn't see anything, it was pitch black, and occasionally a few wisps of wind blew from the woods, all of which were cold, "Don't delay any longer, we are already behind." β
Several servants and eunuchs had already worked together to push the carriage back onto the road, and at this time, Leng Changxi came over with a tall horse to inquire about the situation, and when he saw Qin Yunuan standing in the rain with an umbrella, he couldn't help but care: "What happened?" Is it serious? You are weak, but it is better to be less exposed to the rain. When Leng Changxi said the last sentence, he couldn't help but glance at Qin Yunuan's lower abdomen, although he knew that it was impossible for Qin Yunuan to get pregnant according to the convention, but what if there were exceptions? Maybe it's because you've worked too hard? In any case, he had been looking forward to having a child with Qin Yunuan that only belonged to the two of them.
Leng Changxi didn't have an umbrella, he was wearing silver armor and a silver helmet, and the black feathers on it, which symbolized the handsome general, had been wet by the drizzle, and the rain slapped on the edge of Leng Changxi's mask, slowly flowing down along the lines of the mask until it gathered at the chin, gathered into a drop, and popped and dripped.
"There are limited accommodations in the palace, so I arranged for you to be closer to Princess Fu, so that you two sisters can take care of each other." Leng Changxi tightened the reins of the horse, leaned over to look at Qin Yunuan, his strong waist was enough to support him to lean down and kiss Qin Yunuan's forehead.
Qin Yunuan nodded, and smiled gently at Leng Changxi, Leng Changxi did not arrange her to be close to Princess Ning, but deliberately placed her next to Yuzhao, who was also diagnosed as pregnant, which shows that she really thought about it a lot.
Returning to the carriage, Qin Yunuan watched Leng Changxi gradually walk away and finally disappeared into the rain, and even began to feel that he had really begun to give birth to a small life in his stomach.
Although the palace is also built extremely luxuriously and magnificently, the things prepared in it are limited, and there are so many people here at one time, although everything is going on in an orderly manner, but this palace is still as busy as a bazaar all of a sudden, and many nobles who are in the bottom of the ranks or whose families are not so prosperous cannot be well taken care of, but Qin Yunuan is all-encompassing.
First, Qin Yuzhao will also secretly take care of Qin Yunuan, and the most important thing is that these slaves and maids all know that this is a noble person, and he is the wife of Leng Changxi, the general of the court.
At night, before the time came, when everyone was waiting in fear to see if the earthquake would come, Qin Yunuan suddenly heard a soft sound on the roof.
"Cold frost?" Qin Yunuan softly called the cold frost who was guarding the door to come in, and then held his breath, "Listen, above." β
With just a look, Leng Shuang understood what Qin Yunuan meant, she mobilized her true qi and began to test whether there were masters on the roof around, but at the end she shook her head, meaning that she was not a master.
There was a sudden muffled clang, and it seemed as if something large had fallen from the roof, which was particularly harsh in the sound of this rainy night.
Cold Frost immediately made a decision, holding the hilt of the soft sword at his waist and rushed out, Qin Yunuan hurriedly put on a dress and followed behind, thinking that it was a fierce battle, but when he went out, he saw that it was Cold Frost condescendingly holding the soft sword and pointing at the throat of a man wearing a sweatshirt on the ground, this man was covered in mud, his whole body was almost soaked, his hair was gray, and he was about fifty or sixty years old, but the smile on his face was very inconsistent with the wrinkles on his face, like an old naughty boy;
"Who are you? Why is it on the roof of our third young grandmother in the middle of the night? Who sent you? Cold Frost's series of sharp questions and answers were blocked by a loud fart from this old urchin.
Not only was the fart loud, but the smell also came out quickly, and Cold Frost covered his nose sideways, but the soft sword still stayed at the old urchin's Adam's apple.
Qin Yunuan was also choked by this fierce smell, but the old naughty boy stretched his waist and said very proudly: "Old man, my fart is the best in the world, I advise you, don't hold on, you can vomit if you want to, if you can't vomit, hehe, the old man can prescribe a prescription for you, and ensure that you vomit for three days without panting." β
This sentence undoubtedly angered Leng Frost again, and she moved the soft sword to the vital point of the old urchin, and her eyes became sharper.
"Wait." Qin Yunuan suddenly discovered something, "Cold frost, ruffled the hair on his face, revealing his facial features." β
Cold frost picked up the soft sword, although the old naughty boy was dirty and his face was full of dust, but under the washing of the rain, his face gradually became clear, and when he saw this old naughty boy clearly, Qin Yunuan's eyes were already probing and surprised.
"It's the divine doctor Sun Miaoyang." Qin Yunuan blurted out, "Cold frost, quickly help Doctor Sun up." β
Speaking of this Sun Miaoyang Sun Divine Doctor, everyone in Daqi is known to everyone, and his status is comparable to the ghost Lingzi in the divination language world, but the character of this Sun Miaoyang and the ghost Lingzi is completely different, the ghost Lingzi retreats from the world and practices, and Sun Miaoyang is a famous glutton, traveling around the world for food, during which he also treats diseases and saves people from time to time, and recruits apprentices, there are countless deeds about his resurrection from the dead and rejuvenation of his hands, and Qin Yunuan's cousin, the real Su Chenghai is the teacher of this miracle doctor Sun Miaoyang.
Sun Miaoyang was still lying on the ground like a scoundrel, he supported the back of his head with his arm, looked at Qin Yunuan with Erlang's legs and said with a smile: "Little girl, I didn't expect you to remember me, an old immortal." β
Sun Miaoyang spoke casually, but Qin Yunuan could understand: "Ten years ago, Mr. Sun came to the Qin family, and praised the young master of the Su family, who was temporarily living in the Qin family at that time, for his talent and intelligence, and wanted to accept him as an apprentice, and Yu Nuan remembered it very clearly. Later, Su Chenghai really became Sun Miaoyang's apprentice, the world is unpredictable, but Sun Miaoyang's protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the place, and I don't know if he still remembers the young master of the Su family.
"Oh, you said Chenghai?" Sun Miaoyang smashed it and said, "He should be the most talented and hard-working apprentice I have ever accepted, but he is also the most stupid and infatuated one." Speaking of the word infatuation, Sun Miaoyang looked at Qin Yunuan's eyes with a little flicker, Su Chenghai has liked Qin Yunuan for more than ten years, and the people around him know it, not to mention this master who gets along every day.
"I feel sorry for my cousin's death." This is also the only thing Qin Yunuan can say and do.
"You don't have to feel sorry," Sun Miaoyang suddenly straightened up and rushed towards Qin Yunuan quickly, he grabbed Qin Yunuan's hand tightly, "Don't regret it, don't regret it, as long as you go with me, there will be nothing to regret." β
"Mr. Sun can't," Leng Shuang hurriedly stopped, "The third young grandmother is pregnant now, Mr. Sun can't be reckless." β
"Pregnant?" Sun Miaoyang suddenly stopped the movements in his hand, flipped his wrist to check Qin Yunuan's pulse, but in an instant, a trace of heaviness flashed between his eyebrows.
