Chapter 34: Out of the Palace
It's approaching late autumn, and this Shangqing Palace is already small, and now it looks even more bleak.
I drank hot tea in the house, thinking about how I would live my life in the future, how I should face Xia Ning......
I decided to meet him!
Walking into the courtyard of the prince's brother, there was no one around, and there was no movement in the house, and when he was about to leave, he met Feng Shu who came towards him, "Feng Shu, I want to see the prince!" ”
Feng Shu said: "Your Highness is not here! ”
I asked, "When will he be back?" ”
"Your Highness is discussing matters with the emperor, why don't you go and ask the emperor?"
"You're ......! Fengshu, I don't want to quarrel with you! ”
"Humph! If it weren't for you, how could Your Highness have come to a foreign country to suffer this hardship! ”
I said angrily, "How can you say that? Why your Highness is here for you, you know in your own hearts! ”
"And that's not because of you! If it weren't for that broken book, how could His Highness be here? ”
"You're ......! I can't tell you! ”
"What are you doing?" Xia Ning came back, looking at his face, it reminded me of the prince's brother again, and my anger was completely lost in an instant.
"Prince...... Your Highness...... Qiao'er has something to look for you. ”
Xia Ning looked at me and said, "It sounds awkward that you call me that." If you don't want to call me Brother Prince, I'm older than you anyway, so just call me Brother Ning! This way there will be no flaws. ”
"Yes! Peaceful...... Brother. ”
Xia Ning walked into the house, sat down, and I followed in, and said, "Brother Ning, Qiao'er has something to ask you!" ”
"Huh? What the? ”
"Next month is Qiao'er's birthday, at this time in the first two years, Qiao'er will burn some paper money for her parents and aunt, but these sacrifices and the like can't appear in the palace, so Qiao'er wants to go out of the palace and burn some paper money for her parents and aunt!"
Xia Ning looked at me, laughed, and said, "You want to go and see your crown brother, right?" ”
I said, "After worshipping my parents and aunt, Qiao'er still wants to go and see the prince's brother ......!" ”
Xia Ning said: "Yes, these are human nature!" Of course you can go and I'll arrange it for you! ”
"Thank you, Brother Ning!"
With that, I left......
Out of his yard, I breathed a sigh of relief, wondering why I was so nervous to see him!
After lunch the next day, Feng Shu came to pick me up and said that I could leave the palace, and the reason they made up was very simple: Mr. "Divine Doctor" developed a prescription for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to regulate the body, but it was a bad medicine, and there was no such medicine in the palace, so I had to go out of the palace to find it.
Feng Shu sat outside the carriage and set up the carriage, and he said that he did not want to accompany us, but His Highness ordered him to go.
Feng Shu is not worried that His Royal Highness is in the palace, since they came to Huaqiao Country, they have always been vigilant, if they are found to be pretending to be the prince, not only their lives will not be guaranteed, but the entire Xia Kingdom may suffer because of this!
Feng Shu blamed himself for the fact that he should have desperately prevented His Highness from coming to Huaqiao Country; On the other hand, he complained that General An wrote a broken book, without this broken book, these things would not have happened, and His Highness would not be in danger!
"Fengshu, you are not allowed to say that about my father!"
Feng Shuyi said solemnly: "It was originally true! If there is no broken book like this, the world would still be peaceful! ”
"You!".
"Alright, alright! Don't make any noise! The master said, "Qiao'er, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the military book was hidden in a place before his death, do you know it?" ”
I said, "I know where the place the prince brother is talking about!" ”
"Then take it out! Our Highness of the province thinks day and night. Feng Shu said eagerly.
"I don't!" I said, "Your Highness's promise to the prince's brother has not been completed, so I won't give it!" ”
"You! Bummer! ”
"Who are you scolding scoundrels! You're a bummer! You ......"
"Alright, alright! Don't make any noise! It's not a small person, how can it be like a child! ”
If it hadn't been for the master's stop, I would have quarreled with him for hundreds of rounds!
The carriage slowed down, and I rolled up the curtain and looked out to see that I was on the outskirts of the city. The master said that it was almost to the maple forest, and when we arrived at the maple forest, we could only walk in, because there was no road inside, and the surrounding area was a forest, and people were rare.
The carriage stopped.
"It's here!"
Feng Shu jumped out of the carriage, and my master and I also got out of the carriage.
It's a big maple forest, and the blood-red maple leaves have fallen to the ground, like a bright red carpet!
We walked on it, squishy. The maple leaves fall slowly, and as soon as the wind blows in the woods, the leaves rustle and fall even more. I followed a fallen maple leaf and hid it in my arms.
"Oh, it's here!"
Feng Shu pointed to the wooden house in front of him, "I'm not going, I'm waiting for you here, you have to hurry up, you have to go back before closing the palace!" ”
The master led me inside, and it looked like a makeshift house. The area is not large, there is a table, a chair, a bed, and some living utensils, and the outside of the house is fenced off.
I asked, "Why is there no one here?" ”
"Maybe it's out, let's wait!"
After a while, a man in a white coat came up to us, carrying a basket of firewood on his back and two hares in his hands. When he approached, he saw me, and suddenly froze, and the hare fell to the ground.
"Ms. Onkyo?"
I shouted excitedly: "Mu Xu! ”
"Ms. Onkyo! It's really Miss Onkyo! ”
Mu Xu ran towards me excitedly, closed his mouth happily, kept smiling, and muttered, "It's good to see you!" ”
I looked at Mu Xu, as if I saw the time I spent with the prince's brother, and tears rolled in my eyes.
I asked, "How have you been doing for the past two years?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been sending me to look for you outside the palace for the past two years, in fact, I have already found you, but it is still a step too late, so His Royal Highness asked me and my husband to go to Xia Ning, wanting Xia Ning to rescue you, His Royal Highness has already ......"
As he spoke, Mu Xu lowered his head......
"I know it all...... Mu Xu, I want to meet the prince's brother! ”
"Good! My subordinates will take you there! ”
We had not been walking long in the woods before we arrived.
The prince's brother's grave has already been covered with red maple leaves, and there is no inscription on the stele, Mu Xu said that His Royal Highness has ordered, and he will engrave words on the stele after the Liu family is eradicated!
I squatted down and touched the stone tablet, as if the prince's brother was right in front of me.
"Brother Prince, Qiao'er has come to see you! Qiao'er misses you so much! Qiao'er really wants to see you again! And he began to cry......
