Chapter 410: There Are No Tigers in the Mountains
On the second day, Gu Chuyu set off at the same time, traveling lightly and simply, only bringing a few dozen personal guards to escort him, just like the last time he returned to his hometown, there was no formation, and he would not alarm the place.
He didn't even want to disturb the people in the capital, he left early, and ordered the ministers not to come to send them.
Mei Xiaoren also only sent him outside the gate of the mansion and said goodbye to him in the morning light. When he boarded the carriage, she told him to come back early, as she usually did when he went out.
A few days after Chu Yu left Beijing...... For more than ten days, everything in Daning was still the same, and Shangjing was also calm, the only change was that Mei Xiaoren had a concern in his heart, and he couldn't let go of his heart at any time.
Since she lost her official position, she has nothing to do in Japan, and now she is not even there to accompany her to pass the leisure, and she is even more bored. She stayed in Chu Yu's study every morning, aimlessly picked up books to read, and often stood on the attic of Yingtai after dusk to look into the distance, but no matter how she looked, her eyes couldn't pass through the high walls of the Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone the place east of Shangjing.
She began to count the days in her mind again, where he was today and where he should be tomorrow......
All you can count is that the wait will be very long......
Mei Xiaoren patted the railing and took a deep breath, her eyes moved down, and she suddenly saw that several of her maids had just carried a few bags out of her house, as if they were packing luggage.
"What are you doing packing for me?" She asked.
The maids stopped, turned around and bowed to her, and said, "Madame Hui, it is the order of the Grand Governor." ”
"The Grand Duke?" Mei Xiaoren was inexplicable, "No one else is in Shangjing, when did you order it?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, just now, the Governor of the Metropolitan came back, and in the forecourt, he instructed the slaves and maids to pack up for Madame, and said that he would tell Madame after cleaning up."
Mei Xiaoren became more and more foggy, Liuyue obviously followed Chu Yu to the Xia Kingdom, how could she suddenly come back and let someone pack her luggage?
She came down from the attic and walked quickly to the vestibule, and sure enough, she saw Liuyue who was waiting there.
"Governor, why are you back?" Mei Xiaoren looked around, and only Liuyue came back, not Xingyun, let alone Chu Yu, and asked, "Where is Xiangye?" ”
Liuyue bowed her hand and said, "The master is still on the way to Xia Kingdom, let his subordinates come back and escort his wife to the old prime minister." ”
"Go to Xiyuejian Stream, why?"
"Because the master is not here now, Shangjing is like a tiger in the mountains, and the university scholar has not yet escaped, in case someone uses his wife to make trouble in Shangjing, the master may be difficult to deal with."
Mei Xiaoren frowned, she didn't believe Chu Yu's reason, it was just that he arranged for Liuyue to come back and send her away, and the arrangement was so sudden, there must be other reasons.
"Why didn't Xiangye say that he wanted me to leave Beijing before, not to mention that I didn't go early or late, why now? Besides, let me go to Xiyuejian only, and Xiangye sent someone to say, how can you turn back halfway? ”
"The master said that Mrs. is smart and will definitely get to the bottom of it, so the master didn't tell his subordinates the reason at all, and no matter how much Madame asked, his subordinates couldn't make up words."
Mei Xiaoren was inexplicable, he knew that she would ask, so he didn't say it, so deliberately, where was it to reassure her, it was obvious that she was careful.
"Madam, the master is now worried about the situation of the scholar, and I hope that the master will not worry about it anymore."
"I know, let's go." Mei Xiaoren replied calmly. She asked, he asked her to avoid it for a while, and she avoided it, and she would never hold him back.
It was getting late, and the carriage was already ready, waiting outside the gate.
Mei Xiaoren walked down the steps, and the main and side doors of the Prime Minister's Mansion closed as she left.
She got into the carriage and lifted the curtains to see that the defenders were still there, but the door was closed so that people could see at a glance that the owner was not there.
The carriage left the city from the east of the city and made a detour along the small roads on the outskirts of the city to the west of the city.
Even if Mei Xiaoren had more questions in his heart, he also made her have nowhere to inquire about the truth, so she could only deduce his intentions for such an arrangement alone.
He didn't let her know, or was he afraid that she would know, what kind of things would make her worry and fear?
She has long been not worried about her life and death, the only one who can make her feel at ease is him, what he is hiding from her, she can't guess for a while, but looking at Liuyue's calm appearance, Chu Yu should be fine for more than ten days.
The roads in the suburbs are not as easy to walk as in the city, and the carriages are rickety. Mei Xiaoren pulled out the jade dice from under his neckline and held it in the palm of his hand, praying over and over again that he would be safe all the way.
When it was almost dawn, Mei Xiaoren went to Xiyue Stream under the escort of Liuyue and several personal guards.
She entered the hall and sat down, and Liuyue handed her a burden, "This is what the master asked his subordinates to transfer to his wife." ”
Mei Xiaoren put the burden on his lap and slowly untied it, seeing that it contained letters. She counted it with her fingertips, and found that he had been writing letters to her all the way in the ten days he had been gone, and he had to write several letters a day, and in the end, what Liuyue brought back was a burden.
He left these letters for her so that she could take a look when she thought about him, so he walked for more than ten days before sending Liuyue back to Beijing, not because of any urgency, but because it took time to save letters?
Thinking about it like this, Mei Xiaoren's heart suddenly widened a lot.
The housekeeper Rong An came in from outside and said, "Young lady, the governor of the capital, the master is here." ”
Liuyue stepped aside and stood, bowing her head.
Mei Xiaoren got up, waited for the old prime minister to come in, and owed: "Uncle." ”
Gu Zhan sat down in the hall and lightly locked his eyebrows, "Why are you still called uncle, if it weren't for the Xia Kingdom's envoy to force Yu'er to leave Beijing, the old man would have hugged his grandson next year, and this account would have to be recorded on the head of the Xia Kingdom!" ”
The old prime minister joked seriously, Mei Xiaoren couldn't help laughing, lowered his eyes, and shouted instead: "Father." ”
Gu Zhan showed her face, called her to sit down, looked at Liuyue and asked, "Is Yu'er okay all the way?" ”
Liuyue replied: "Back to the master, everything is fine with the master, but he can't rest assured that his wife will be relieved, so he asked his subordinates to return to Beijing and send his wife to live here for a while." ”
"It's still Yu'er thoughtful, you go and talk back, let him not have worries, Xiaomei has someone to serve here."
"Yes."
Mei Xiaoren hadn't slept all night, and she was even more sleepy when it was dawn, she guessed that Liuyue was about to leave to chase his master, so she hurriedly wrote a reply letter in the room. Although she only had time to write one, every word on the letter was from the bottom of her heart, in fact, even if she wrote a thousand words, it all meant the same thing: she loved him, missed him, and hoped that he would come back safely......
The old prime minister and Liuyue were still talking in the courtyard, she took the letter to look for it, and as soon as she walked outside the arch, she heard their voices:
"You said Yu'er asked you to stay?"
"Back to the master, the master asked his subordinates to stay in the capital to protect the master and his wife."
"Yu'er didn't explain much to the old man before leaving Beijing, but the old man guessed that he should have made this arrangement because he was sure that Ji Heng would make waves, but I don't know how big a wave Ji Heng is going to make......
