Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Ancient Kingdom of Shuan
"Brother Yu has already repaired the book, I have been waiting here for three days, why did I only arrive today? Did the road go well?" Yun Ting asked with concern.
"What do you say? You thought you'd been waiting here for three days?" Yufei had a faint sense of foreboding, they had only been on the road for three days, how could he know that something was going to happen?
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Yun Ting helped Yu Fei into the carriage, "One more day will be to our Shu'an Imperial City, we are completely different from your Tianmo Country here, Pan'er should feel novel." ”
"Pan'er has long fallen asleep in Chunzhu's arms." Chunzhu was racking her brains to pass on the situation that Yufei came here, but she was firmly watched all the way.
"Chunzhu, the county lord treats you well, why do you always want to work hard for others." Yun Ting said outside the curtain.
"Prince Yunting is really good at laughing, what do you say, slaves don't understand." Yun Ting actually guessed Chunzhu's thoughts, Chunzhu was a little flustered for a while, but he still tried to do not know what to do, but he still accidentally showed his feet.
"How do you know I'm a prince? There are very few people who know about it in Tianmo. ”
"Slave, slave guessed." Chunzhu lowered his eyes as if he was looking at Pan'er.
"That's a good guess, but that's not what you should have guessed as a slave!"
"Slave, slave......"
"If it weren't for Brother Yu's kindness, you and Caiyi would have died eight hundred times. You think your little tricks can hide from Brother Yu's eyes of the two hundred and eighty-two dark guards. Yun Ting smiled, "And that Qianxiang Pavilion, that Xilu, that Yulin, you think you can hide from Brother Yu's seventy-two shadow guards." Naïve, too naïve. ”
Chunzhu's face was blue for a while, purple for a while, she didn't know what happened to her sister now, she was helpless to agree to poison Ye Yufei. Fortunately, the bustard said that the poison only weakened the human body, otherwise she would not have agreed to die. She had long known that Yu Fei and the old bustard had a conflict over gambling money, but she couldn't understand why the old bustard wanted her to monitor Yu Fei's every move and let him follow Meng Wei's instructions.
"Chunzhu, can you tell me why?" Yufei patted her hand.
"I," Chunzhu was startled, "it's not what Yun Ting Gongzi said." Chunzhu lowered her eyes and continued to look at the sleeping Pan'er.
"Harutake!" Yufei pretended to be angry.
"Niangniang treats Chunzhu well, Chunzhu has never harmed anyone, but Chunzhu has Chunzhu's helplessness, please don't embarrass Chunzhu, Chunzhu will swear to protect Niangniang and the little prince."
"But how did I hear that you gave the county lord incense and dispersed!" The carriage stopped suddenly, and the sound of clouds outside the carriage knocked on Chunzhu's panicked heart.
"I, I'm just acting on orders, not to mention that the dispersion of incense will only make the county lord's qi and blood insufficient, his limbs weak, and his body pulse weak, and it won't cause any damage." Chunzhu lowered his eyes.
"But if the incense is gone, if you run into jade incense, do you know what the consequences are? Unlike the rarity of incense, jade incense can be found everywhere in this grassland, and people use it to repel mosquitoes. Yun Ting lifted the curtain and looked at Chunzhu who was biting his lip with a sharp gaze.
"Forget it, Yunting Gongzi still don't embarrass her, isn't it just jade incense? I'll just pay attention to some of them. The corners of Yufei's lips hooked up an indifferent smile, and in the halo of sunlight, Yun Ting actually saw something in her that he couldn't tell him.
"Niangniang, I ......" Chunzhu wanted to speak and stopped, she didn't know how to face Ye Yufei.
"Chunzhu, you have suffered a lot with me along the way, I know that you can't help yourself, okay, or don't be too embarrassed yourself, I don't ask, you don't want to say it, okay?" Yufei's eyes were like water, immersed in Chunzhu's twisted heart.
"Mother, I'm sorry." There were tears in Chunzhu's eyes.
Yun Ting shook his head helplessly, Yu Fei seemed to take life and death very lightly, okay, hey, he lowered the curtain faintly, and the carriage slowly drove forward.
At sunset, they came to the Imperial City of Tianshu. The Tianshu Imperial City is like a tall building complex made of loess, standing solemnly and kindly on the edge of the grassland and the desert, and this clear feeling gives people a visual unprecedented shock. Yufei was placed in the Su Yuzhai in the Thunder King's Mansion, which was only one gate away from the Tianshu Imperial City. Walking into the Thunder King's Mansion, it is different from the elegance and simplicity of Yunting Yashe, and under its earthy appearance, there is a vivid face. Colorful paintings, thick and colorful brocade banners, even the clothes of the maidservants are colorful, they walk around, their steps are light, like fluttering clouds. Su Yuzhai is on the east side of the Thunder King's Mansion, which is different from the thick and gorgeous Thunder King's Mansion, it is more like a budding bud, and everything is a faint color of pink. Yufei walked for a long time in the Nuoda Ting Wang's Mansion, although Chunzhu has been supporting her, but she is still a little physically exhausted, seeing a few white jade chairs in the courtyard, she wants to sit down and rest for a while, but as soon as her hand touches the back of the chair, she hurriedly takes it back.
"This courtyard is warm all year round, and the sunlight is the most preferred here, and with these warm jade chairs, it is excellent to take a nap and taste tea here when you have nothing to do." Yun Ting patted the back of the chair and smiled.
"There is such a good place in the world, Yun Ting Gongzi bothered." Yufei stroked the back of the chair with her hand again, looking at these chairs, she always felt that something was wrong.
"Mother, can we go to the palace to rest? The child is tired. Pan'er asked in a milky voice.
"I was negligent, please! Please! Yun Ting motioned for the attendant to open the temple door. After a few polite words, he took his leave.
"Mother, I miss my father." After Yunting left, Pan'er pulled Yufei's skirt and said.
Yufei squatted down and patted Pan'er. Pan'er, who has always been lively and cheerful along the way, suddenly became silent, Yufei knew the concern in this child's heart, but she couldn't do anything.
"Mother, I don't like it here, it's eerie here, I want to go home." Pan'er's tears circled in her eyes, trying not to let them fall.
"Good Pan'er, we are just staying here temporarily, and when your father quells the rebellion, we can go back." Yufei's long eyelashes slowly drooped, reflecting a pair of wing-like silhouettes in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Father!" Pan'er pushed away Yufei and pulled out a purse from her clothes and put it tightly on her chest.
"Is that an amulet?" Yufei looked at a red purse embroidered with scriptures.
"This is given to me by my father, let me keep it for him." Pan'er hugged the purse tightly, for fear that someone would snatch it away.
The evening of Shuan Guo gives people a strong sense of sadness. Look at the remnant sun, look at the willows blown by the north wind, and a few lonely geese cry in the air from time to time.
Pan'er may have been bumpy in the past few days, and she fell asleep with very little food.
Yufei couldn't sleep, she put on a dress, leaned on the threshold and drank bitter wine, watching the sunlight fade little by little on the jade chair, a gust of wind passed, she seemed to hear a mournful flute.
"Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green. The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain. The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered. A pot of turbid wine is full of joy, don't dream cold tonight. Two lines of tears crossed Yufei's cheeks.
The sun went down, and a crescent moon hung in the distant night sky, and a woman in a thin garment drank from the cold moonlight, and her shadow was stretched for a long, long time.
The sound of the flute stopped abruptly, Yu Fei was already slightly drunk, and he saw a son in white who was victorious in snow, standing not far away with one hand attached to him, holding a flute in the other.
"Mother, you're drunk." At this time, Chunzhu came over and helped Yufei into the house.
The man in white looked at the closed door, and the smell of wine was still in the air. She can match his flute music, who is she? Is she really ......
"Prince, there is news from the Heavenly Desert Country." A guard has an ear canal.
"Got it, go out and talk." Yun Ting walked out of Su Yuzhai, faintly felt that someone was following behind him, and he didn't feel a trace of joy. He dismissed the guards, and one flew to the shadows.
"The prince spares his life!" Harutake said timidly.
"It's you!" Yun Ting was a little lost.
"Slave, slave and maid come out to breathe." Chunzhu quibbled.
"I didn't mean to kill you, and I didn't ask why you're here." Yun Ting looked at the timid Harutake.
"The slave doesn't dare!" Chunzhu felt the light of the blade coming out of its sheath, and fell to his knees.
"Chunzhu, I've asked you to get the decanting soup for so long, why don't you go back soon." It turned out that Yufei's thin clothes appeared not far away.
"Yes!" Chunzhu trembled and got up and left, without any hindrance.
"Deeper exposure, go back and rest early." Yun Ting suppressed some anonymous emotion in his heart.
"Childe will also go back to rest earlier." Yufei said and turned to leave.
Yun Ting looked at Yufei's back and didn't move for a long time. Since when did he like to watch her go away, watching, just looking at her, just looking at her, just good.
After three months in Shu'anguo, Yufei was amazed by this imperial city with vast grasslands and vast deserts, and what made her even more amazed was that there were as many books here as there were grass on the grassland. Yun Ting brought her into the library pavilion, she picked up the ancient books and couldn't put them down, and Yun Ting answered them one by one like a living dictionary if she didn't understand. Every day, in addition to asking if there is any news from Tianmo, she is looking through ancient collections in the library pavilion. Yun Ting also often appears in the library pavilion, and Yun Ting, who likes to read, told Yu Fei that instead of waiting, it is better to do something meaningful, and time can pass faster. Finally, two months later, she received a letter from the Heavenly Desert Country.
The letter was sent by a guard's relative at the request of the guard, and when Yufei opened it, it turned out to be a bloody letter written by Rongrong. The letter said that Meng Yu was dead. It was to save Mrs. Ye, the queen and Concubine Xing from being forced to drink poisoned wine. However, Meng Wei still sent someone to wash the Ye family in blood and killed the queen and Concubine Xing. She has been sold as a prostitute by Meng Wei for a long time, regretted her youth and ignorance, and asked Yufei to return to Beijing as soon as possible to discuss revenge.
Yufei read the letter and fainted. Although Yun Ting had known for a long time, he had already ordered all the news from Tianmo to be blocked, and he never thought that he would let her know.
When she woke up, it was getting late, she insisted on leaving, took Pan'er with her, and got into the carriage.
