Chapter 24: Is Your Highness Waiting for Someone? (4)
For Prime Minister Wei's advice, Emperor Xia was silent for a while, and then agreed, only said: "This is a long way to the southwest, the climate is changeable, the prince has been weak since he was a child, send five hundred more Janissaries, five imperial doctors to accompany him, and be sure to protect the prince thoroughly." ”
Emperor Xia sent someone to pass on the crown prince, and Rong Junzhi knew what happened halfway, or he had long expected that things would become like this, so when Emperor Xia asked, he did not refuse, and simply answered.
This trip to the southwest, even if he doesn't want to, Wei Sheng will let him go, but Wei Sheng doesn't know, even if he doesn't say it, he will go, and it can be regarded as the same destination.
There are a lot of people the prince has brought with him, and the young eunuch Si Heng of Qin Tianjian can also be regarded as coming in handy, when the time comes, it is indispensable to look at the terrain, observe the heavenly phenomena or something, Qin Tianjian Jian Zheng can't leave, naturally he goes, although he is always called a god stick, but there are still two or two dry goods in the stomach.
In addition to Si Yan, Prime Minister Wei Cheng also stuffed his eldest son Wei Beishuo, Wei Beishuo is now transferred to the Ministry of Industry, this time the matter needs to be dispatched by the Ministry of Industry, and he is naturally among them.
In addition, there are nearly twenty ministers in the establishment, which shows that Emperor Xia takes a fancy to this matter.

When Shen Jinqiao received the news that the prince was going to the southwest, King Cheng happened to come to her.
King Cheng is not warm to her, but it is not cold either, King Cheng invited Shen Jinqiao to travel, it is said that there is a girl from the Xiao family to accompany her, Shen Jinqiao refused, she doesn't want to see any Xiao family now.
King Cheng saw that she insisted on not going, and he was not reluctant, so he took out a hosta: "This is left by the previous concubine, and this king wants to give it to you." ”
said that the king was going to insert the hosta into Shen Jinqiao's head, but Shen Jinqiao avoided it slightly: "Don't wear it, since it is Concubine De's mother's thing, I will definitely put it away." ”
King Cheng withdrew his hand, put the hosta back in the box and handed it to Shen Jinqiao: "It's okay." ”
Shen Jinqiao turned around to enter the mansion, but King Cheng suddenly called out to her: "Miss Jinqiao." ”
Shen Jinqiao turned his head: "Huh? ”
King Cheng looked at her, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you sad that you want to marry this king?" ”
King Cheng stared at Shen Jinqiao's face for a moment, not wanting to miss a trace of the change in expression on her face.
I saw that Shen Jinqiao was a little strange after hearing it: "Why did the prince say this?" Did you hear some gossip? ”
King Cheng was silent.
Shen Jinqiao stood on the steps of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, his beautiful appearance, like the glass eyes inlaid with pearls, was calm and indifferent: "The holy decree to give marriage is not something that others can change with just a few words, why should the prince bother himself?" ”
King Cheng is uncomfortable in his heart, he has been squeezed by people these days, saying that he married Shen Jinqiao is a pie in the sky, and it was Shen Jinqiao who was unlucky enough to fall into his hands, in short, he is not worthy of Shen Jinqiao, he is also a man, and he also has self-esteem, even though he knows that all this has nothing to do with Shen Jinqiao, but he still wants to ask.
And Shen Jinqiao's answer was not what he wanted to hear, her reaction was too calm, but indifferent, she didn't dislike him, nor did she resist this marriage, but there were three words clearly written in her indifference---- I don't care.
I don't care about marriage, and I don't care about him.
Shen Jinqiao could see that King Cheng's mood was complicated, but she didn't care whether King Cheng was lost or not, she was treated by everyone as a joke after dinner, she didn't complain about a woman, King Cheng was a man, why did she want her to take care of her?
Back at home, let Yuzhu put the box of hairpins away, and Shen Jinqiao continued to get her crown.
Picking up his tools, he suddenly saw a note pressed underneath.
Unfold the note, and there are only four words and a totem on it.
Southwest, the maid, there is a flame pattern on the back, which is the tattoo on the back of those assassins in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
There is no signature on this note, but the font is fierce and sharp, with iron and silver hooks, very much like a person, the prince with the devil's breath on his body.
So what does this mean? The prince is going to leave for the southwest disaster area tomorrow, so why don't you let her go to the southwest with her, be a maid for him, and then he will tell her what the pattern represents?
Shen Jinqiao: "......" is all dependent on Meng, and I don't know if it's right or not.
But this time to the southwest, back and forth for at least more than a month, how can she withdraw?
But it's really tempting for the prince to throw out this condition.
Although she knew who the enemy was and took revenge, the real answer was not solved.
What did Prime Minister Wei want to do, why he stole the Huo family's seal, and why he kept assassinating the prince, she didn't know anything about this, and what the prince knew was the part she wanted to know the most.
To go or not to go?
----
The prince's guard of honor drove lightly and chose the fastest road to Liangzhou.
The dispatched officials have already been dispatched, and the prince is traveling, and there are soldiers in front of him, so it is necessary to ensure that the prince arrives in Liangzhou as soon as possible and safely.
Because the situation was urgent, the prince also sat in the carriage all day, and only repaired at the post station at night despite the prince's physical discomfort.
Obviously he was already very tired, but the prince did not rest, but sat by the window and drank.
The playboy arranged things and came in to look at the crown prince like that, and stepped forward to ask, "Is Your Highness waiting for someone?" ”
This implicative tone was obviously ridiculous, and he didn't know the content of the note sent by the prince, but he probably knew who it was for.
The prince didn't have any mood changes because of the playman's ridicule, he shook his head slightly, he didn't wait for anyone, he was just thinking about things.
Didn't Shen Jinqiao want to know Wei Sheng's true face? The paper was sent just to give her a chance to see it with her own eyes, and it was her choice whether to come or not.
There are too many secrets hidden by Wei Sheng in the southwest, and the matter here must have always been under Wei Sheng's control, and he will definitely not be exposed, but he still keeps suppressing it, and then exposing it when the matter becomes serious.
This is a bureau set up by Wei Sheng, he is not afraid of exposure, and he is not afraid of the prince finding out, because he has already calculated it, and the turmoil in the southwest is the burial place set up by Wei Sheng for the prince, and he will definitely try his best to let the prince die at the hands of thieves in the southwest.
Their fight was not a day or two, and it was an invisible conspiracy for others, but they themselves knew that it was a clear conspiracy.
One is not afraid that the other party will know his calculations, because even if he knows, he will force the prince to embark on this path.
And the prince knew that this was his calculation, but he jumped in anyway.
The arrangement is very good, but whether it can be as desired is unknown.
-----
On the second day of the team's departure, a young guard chased after him, because he was holding the prince's pass order, saying that the East Palace was sending a letter, but it was sent all the way to His Royal Highness the prince.
The playboy looked at this strange-looking young man, and was stunned for several times before he saw the clue: Shen Jinqiao?
