Chapter 224: Canonization and departure
The next day is the canonization ceremony, early in the morning Jiang Yu accompanied the county lord of Xiang'an into the palace, as soon as he entered the main hall, the county lord of Xiang'an was called to the back and said that he was going to prepare for the canonization ceremony, this time there were not many people coming, and the scale was small, which was also obviously not giving face to the Xiangwang Mansion, but now that the king of Xiang and the princess of Xiang are not there, naturally no one dares to stand up and speak.
Jiang Yu walked around and found that many of the old departments of King Xiang did not appear this time, and Xiao Xun, who was present, found that this was wrong as soon as he came, until Jiang Yu talked about it.
"I heard that the emperor secretly disposed of a large number of important members of the imperial court, presumably he must have been afraid that King Xiang would make a comeback, so he swept away many forces." Xiao Xun looked ahead and said.
Jiang Yu nodded in agreement, the emperor obviously didn't leave a chance for Xiangwangfu to come back: "It seems that you have to be more careful in the future." ”
After the two separated, Jiang Yu thought about going to see how the county lord of Xiang'an was preparing, so she walked to the apse, but she didn't expect to meet Princess Yuanxia who was coming towards her, looking at her smug look, everyone could see that Princess Yuanxia was naturally proud in her heart because she had one less opponent, and she was still going to kiss for herself.
"Yo, this is not Miss Jiang, today is a big day, Miss Jiang, don't keep a face, how unlucky this is!" Princess Yuan Xia also saw her, raised her feet and said to Jiang Yu in a sharp voice, Xia Guifei listened on the side, her face was expressionless, and she let Princess Yuan Xia be sarcastic.
Jiang Yu didn't want to deal with her, Princess Yuanxia looked at Jiang Yu with a deflated look, lowered her head and didn't speak, so she became even more angry.
"If you want me to say, you will be put on the face of what you think you think is high, and some things are doomed." Princess Yuanxia took this opportunity to satirize Jiang Yu, and she was also talking about herself and Xiao Xun secretly.
If Jiang Yu hadn't been there because of Concubine Xia, she would have dismissed this matter a long time ago, but for the sake of her face, she still didn't worry too much about Princess Xia, she just silently walked a few steps forward, and there was a burst of laughter from behind: "Happy event, it's really a big happy event." ”
Jiang Yu glanced back, turned around and entered the compartment where the county lord of Xiang'an was, the county lord of Xiang'an was ready, Jiang Yu looked at her in front of her dressed in luxurious clothes, but her face was not good-looking, Jiang Yu guessed that Princess Yuanxia had just gone out from here, and she must have left because of the bad luck of the county lord of Xiang'an.
"Is she coming?" Jiang Yu looked at the county lord of Xiang'an, whose expression was already more ugly than just now, and said softly.
"Didn't you see her when you first came in?" The county lord of Xiang'an sighed, completely losing the momentum of directly pointing at her nose and scolding Princess Yuanxia when he was unhappy.
"There's no need to worry about her, wait for the seventh princess and Concubine Xi to come, be happy." Jiang Yu patted the county lord of Xiang'an on the shoulder, lowered her head, and comforted her.
After a while, Concubine Xi and the Seventh Princess arrived, and as soon as they entered the door, the Seventh Princess said that when she came in, Princess Yuanxia looked at her domineering and proud: "Really, what is the spirit." ”
Everyone didn't speak, only Concubine Xi saw that the expression of the county lord of Xiang'an was gradually wrong, which reminded the seventh princess to say less.
Jiang Yu knew that she shouldn't disturb them at this time, so she said: "Concubine Xi, Niangniang, Seventh Princess, Xiang'an County Lord, you have a good talk, I'll go out and wait first." ”
After Jiang Yu went out, the seventh princess and Concubine Xi hugged the county lord of Xiang'an and cried, and the county lord had been unconscious for so many days, so she silently hugged them.
After a while, the people in the palace came to ask the county lord of Xiang'an to go out, and Concubine Xi took the hand of the county lord of Xiang'an and wiped the corners of her eyes that were already moist: "Go, aunt will take you out, since your parents are not there, let me come." ”
The county lord of Xiang'an was led by Concubine Xi to the direction of the main hall, Jiang Yu and the seventh princess followed behind and also entered the main hall, the two of them found a place to sit down, the seventh princess kept looking at Jiang Yu in front of her, and it was not difficult to see the obvious worry and sadness in her eyes, the seventh princess had been thinking about why the county lord of Xiang'an suddenly became wary of Jiang Yu.
"The daughter of King Xiang'an, the lord of Xiang'an, virtuous and elegant, is now canonized as the princess of Xiang'an, and two days later set off to marry Beidi and his relatives, and he is here."
After the eunuch finished reading the holy decree, the seventh princess blamed herself and said: "It means that if I had agreed to go to the kiss, it would not have been Sister Xiang'an's turn, and the Xiangwang Mansion would not have ...... It was I who harmed the Xiangwang Mansion. ”
"No, even if you don't have it, it's possible to become what you are now, don't blame yourself, you're still young, wouldn't it be more worrying to marry in the past, and you can't change many things." Jiang Yu looked at the seventh princess who blamed herself so much, and comforted her.
The county lord of Xiang'an held the holy decree in his hand and thanked him and walked down, holding the holy decree tightly in his hand, but his expression did not change in the slightest.
A canonization ceremony ended simply, and the emperor simply said that time was urgent.
Back at Xiangwang's Mansion, the emperor's people came to urge them to hurry up and prepare, and they were about to leave in two days, Jiang Yu and others were complaining about the emperor, but they were helpless.
Xiangwangfu was busy for a whole day before everything was finished after work, the emperor did not have anything to say to the lord of Xiang'an and his relatives, the lord of Xiang'an silently took the dowry left by the king of Xiang'an for himself, called all the entourage, and told him to leave the affairs of the Xiangwang's mansion, and then took the road with no hope for the future.
Jiang Yu saw that the county lord of Xiang'an hadn't spoken since she got into the car, and she was also worried, but she just accompanied her silently.
There was not much communication along the way, and a team of people kept rushing to the front, and Xiao Xun would come to see if Jiang Yu was feeling unwell from time to time.
When she was about to arrive at a small town, Jiang Yu suddenly felt very uneasy in her heart, Jiang Yu looked at a mountain that was about to be crossed in front of her, and heard that the area behind the city was full of trade routes, which made Jiang Yu a little worried that there would be bandits.
After entering the mountain, the surroundings were calm and abnormal, and there was no movement of the bandits at all, but she was even more uneasy.
After all, Xiao Xun, a mere bandit, can still deal with it, but this place where bandits often haunt suddenly calmed down, which made Jiang Yu feel that this was a feeling that had been deliberately arranged.
After arriving in the town, as soon as she settled down to rest, Jiang Yu told Xiao Xun about what she had been worried about, and Xiao Xun was also worried about her as much as she was.
"This time, the emperor arranged us, probably to get rid of us." Jiang Yu's head gradually became more certain of the emperor's special arrangement.
"So be careful, have you noticed that something is wrong with the mountain road just now?" Xiao Xun looked at Jiang Yu and said seriously.
Jiang Yu agreed that his worries were correct, and finally the two of them discussed for a long time, afraid that something would happen in the future, in order to protect the safety of the county lord of Xiang'an, it was decided to let Jiang Yu take the county lord of Xiang'an to leave secretly after dressing up, Xiao Xun took the team to continue to hurry, and the two met again after leaving the mountain.
After discussing the countermeasures, Jiang Yu went to talk to the county lord of Xiang'an about the matter: "Princess Xiang'an, let's go outside first, this road may be dangerous, so we will secretly leave first after dressing up." Jiang Yu was about to blurt out the county lord, but swallowed it back and changed it to a princess.
"What's the danger, it's the real danger that we're out of the team." Princess Xiang'an didn't agree with Jiang Yu's statement at first, but under Jiang Yu's bitter heart, she agreed.
After a few people changed their clothes, they were about to take a few girls to set off, at this time Xiao Xun walked in, and brought six people in, Jiang Yu saw at a glance that this was the person in the thirteen evils: "You take these people with you to ensure your safety." Xiao Xun said to Jiang Yu as soon as he entered the door.
Sure enough, Xiao Xun was thoughtful, Jiang Yu nodded: "I will leave a mark, in case there is any accident, you can come to me through the mark." ”
"Don't worry, as soon as there is danger, Ning Hang will send me a message." Xiao Xun had already planned everything, and looking at Jiang Yu's worried look, he would rather their previous feelings were not real.
"Okay, let's go now, while it's still dark." Jiang Yu said, and called Princess Xiang'an to get into the carriage, Xiao Xun watched the group of people go out and go into the distance, and then went back to straighten out the carriage and horses, and went on the road slowly behind the pretend.
Jiang Yu and the others walked quickly for three days, and there was not much left from this mountain, and the big stone in Jiang Yu's heart slowly fell to the ground.
Princess Xiang'an didn't talk much along the way, Jiang Yu except for a few necessary words, seeing that Princess Xiang'an always looked unhappy, she was embarrassed to say anything to Princess Xiang'an.
This afternoon, the carriage was still moving, Princess Xiang'an saw that Jiang Yu was also very good to herself in the past few days, she could feel it, she actually didn't want to believe that Jiang Yu would use herself until now.
At this time, Jiang Yu saw that Princess Xiang'an hadn't drunk water for a long time, so she picked up the teacup and handed it to Princess Xiang'an: "Princess, drink some water." ”
"I hate you." Princess Xiang'an's sudden words made Jiang Yu stunned, of course she knew what Princess Xiang'an was referring to, she knew better what she was saying now, Princess Xiang'an might not listen to it, and now was not the time to argue.
Jiang Yu put the teacup aside, and kept her head low and didn't speak, Princess Xiang'an saw that Jiang Yu didn't explain to herself: "Do you still need me to make it clear, I know everything you do, or am I wrong about you." ”
"Princess, don't be cranky, take a good rest." Jiang Yu still chose to suppress this matter as much as she could, and she didn't want to mention it again.
"Why, you tell me why you used me for the sake of Ning Wangfu, and you also came up with the idea of letting Xiangwangfu go to Xiliang Town to guard, the mastermind of all this, since it is a friend I believe in the most!" Princess Xiang'an saw that Jiang Yu did not express her position, and her tone became obviously serious.
