Chapter 103: A Firm Choice

"My father will inevitably keep a hand, but I'm still not at ease, when Lin'an Hou Qingping Hou was only one step away from becoming a thing, this time the Duke of Qin, Chang Bo, Cang Ming Gong joined forces, the Fuhu Army is Dahe's elite army, and my father is now completely passive! Also, even General Shen is nowhere to be found! Lord Yan, please open the city gate and let me go out of the city! Saying that, Ning Zhiyuan glanced at Du Yiyi sitting in the back room behind the bead curtain, Shen Ke had disappeared all night, and it seemed that he could get better according to this situation......

"It rained all night last night, and it was not easy for the rebels to storm the palace, and it was wise for the Holy Ancestor to dig that moat! Rao Su has been mobilizing Ma Guan to transfer troops to the capital to support, and now the capital is in chaos, and His Royal Highness King Rui is still staying in Aicheng! ”

Shen Ke is nowhere to be found? Du Yiyi, who was sitting idly in the room, was stunned, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be suddenly drained, the rebels attacked the city, the capital was in chaos, but Shen Ke was nowhere to be found at this juncture............ No, no, Shen Ke's martial arts are outstanding, how could something happen so easily......

"Taiwei Yan, my father is in trouble, how can the son of man not go to the rescue? As for the safety of this king, Taiwei Yan does not need to worry, this king naturally has all plans to go, and he will never run to die. "Ning Zhiyuan has now made up his mind, he wants to take the heir, that is also in the country is just the Ning family, if the emperor is wrong, this situation will not benefit him at all, he has to fight hard, and he has to sharpen his head and go back to the capital.

"Since His Royal Highness King Rui is so resolute, then Weichen will take His Royal Highness King Rui to the city gate, and ask His Royal Highness King Rui to bring a message to the emperor, Yan Liu Rao Su and the two will run in the neighboring states and counties, and the reinforcements will rush to the capital to rescue them!"

He has already learned the city of King Rui, and now King Rui wants to return to Beijing, the reason can also be seen, and it is useless for him to interfere with it.

"Then thank you Mrs. Yan! Wait for the king to pack his bags, and it will be a moment. Ning Zhiyuan bowed politely and quickly walked into the back room.

Du Yiyi was still as stiff and stunned as a clay figure, although she had never seen Shen Ke galloping across the field, but she had heard countless people say that Shen Ke's heroism Shen Ke's martial arts were outstanding, but she also knew that shooting people first shot horses and captured thieves and captured the king first, Shen Ke was the emperor's minister, Qin Guogong wanted to rebel, killing Shen Ke was the first thing to do, she couldn't convince herself that Shen Ke might just be hiding somewhere and waiting for an opportunity in the case of the rebels attacking the city, and she couldn't convince herself that Shen Ke had died in Huangquan.

She couldn't believe that Shen Ke was dead, but the facts also made her unable to believe that Shen Ke was still alive.

She was still going to run, but today it seems that she can't escape.

"Ning Zhiyuan, I'll go back to Beijing with you!"

Ning Zhiyuan, who was packing up his clothes, pulled a sneering smile at the corner of his mouth, this was what he expected, how could Du Yiyi do it when he heard the news that Shen Ke might have died in Huangquan? His princess, but there is only such a man as Shen Ke in his heart, but he can't do anything, he, the wise king, is really a failure!

"Pack your things and let's go!"

A few simple clothes and sundries Ning Zhiyuan has already packed up, Qin Huai's things Qin Huai has also been packed, Du Yiyi except for the money bag in his arms is all inconsequential things, so he just packed up his clothes and went out with Ning Zhiyuan and the others, and settled the house money for the inn in the past few days, Qin Huai went to the backyard to lead the horse when they came, Du Yiyi was going to buy a horse, and it happened that the innkeeper also had a horse that the accommodation traveler had no money to pay for the mortgage, listening to Du Yiyi's question, The innkeeper immediately led the horse out, divided by one by three, seven and five, and Du Yiyi bargained with Yan Liu's identity and sold it for two taels of silver.

This is a thin horse that is almost skinny, it can be seen that its original owner is poor, and several people in the city do not dare to ride horses, so they can only lead them to the city gate, there is Yan Liu, the soldiers guarding the city gate naturally immediately opened the gate, led the horse through, farewell to Yan Liu, the three of them turned over on the horse, and went up.

Because of the rain last night, the road was muddy and potholes affected their itinerary to a certain extent, Du Yiyi's horse was very thin, and it couldn't compare with the speed of Ning Zhiyuan and the others' fast horses, Ning Zhiyuan Qin Huai almost ran for a while and was about to stop and wait for Du Yiyi, and waited until she arrived extremely slowly before continuing to set off, so they walked for an hour, just when Ning Zhiyuan's patience was almost worn out by this fast horse, they passed by the post station, and added silver to the post station for a fast horse, and the three of them continued on the road.

The road directly from Aicheng to the capital is different from the road to Yaozhou, the road to Yaozhou is mountainous, winding and obstructive, and the capital to Aicheng is a straight road, on both sides are the fields at a glance of the road, although Aicheng is still behind Yaozhou, but because of this straight road, to go to the capital, they only need one day and one night at most.

It was noon when he hurried away, Ning Zhiyuan just asked Qin Huai to buy two baked cakes on the side of the road and eat them while hurrying to the road, the rebels had already entered the city, not to mention a day and a night, it was just half an hour and a cup of tea, and the capital could be turned upside down, and he couldn't delay for a moment. Du Yiyi is also a person who is in a hurry, Ning Zhiyuan can be so filial to the emperor, Du Yiyi can't ask for it.

On this day, they have been rushing like this, but unfortunately the sky is not beautiful, tonight is the same as last night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and there is no way to rush at all, but Ning Zhiyuan, who is in a hurry, missed the inn, and had no choice but to find a family to spend the night!

In this place where there is no capital and no Aicheng behind, most of the farmers who live on these fields live in the city, the houses are simple, and there is no extra room on weekdays, and a few families have been asked, if it weren't for the magic weapon of silver on Ning Zhiyuan, it would be impossible to borrow a house to live for a while. The owner of the house is also a farmer, and he will work part-time as a woodcutter on weekdays, and the housewife is at home to do housework, and do some needlework on weekdays to raise some poultry to supplement the family, because the two have no children, and there is a room that has been used to pile up sundries since the death of their old mother.

The room in the inn is two guest rooms, Qin Huai is sleeping outside the door, Ning Zhiyuan specially ordered the innkeeper to add a soft couch, so it is just going to live, here two tables together, it is enough to be a bed for the night, but the key is that the two couples are not enough bedding, and now it is the day of frost in the early morning, the cold wind outside is strong and the temperature drops sharply at night, if there is no bedding overnight, then it must not be frozen?

Qin Huai's body was tougher, and he gave the bedding to Du Yiyi and Ning Zhiyuan independently, and he went to the back room to make a fire.

Although she slept well and would have time to hurry tomorrow, Du Yiyi still couldn't fall asleep this night, as long as she closed her eyes, those pictures about how Shen Ke was now made her tremble, Ning Zhiyuan, who was asleep on the table, slept very quietly, Du Yiyi didn't dare to disturb, tiptoed up, and lit the kerosene lamp.

I don't know how long this kerosene lamp hasn't been used, and the faint little flame curled up on the wick straightened up for a long time before it burned, and the kerosene was mostly moths, mosquitoes, dust, and other things, and sometimes it crackled when it burned.

Lying on the bed and curled up in the futon, Du Yiyi still felt that the cold air was getting into the slightest, and she thought that she wouldn't want to fall asleep tonight, so she got up and covered the quilt on Ning Zhiyuan, who was curled up in the quilt on the table, and went to the back room.

Qin Huai was dozing by the fire, hearing the sound of footsteps, he held the long sword on his side like a spring and jumped up, seeing that it was Du Yiyi, he sat down again.

"Madam, why haven't you slept yet?" Ning Zhiyuan's identity can't be publicized, and it is a bit eye-catching to live in this house today, of course Qin Huai doesn't dare to call their original identity.

"I can't sleep left and right, and I feel cold, so I'll come to roast the fire!" Du Yiyi found a small pestle and sat down, stretched out his hand and rubbed some hands on the flame that was dancing with his teeth and claws.

Qin Huai is Ning Zhiyuan's confidant, Du Yiyi feels that there are some things that do not need to be avoided by outsiders, but for Qin Huai, Du Yiyi is the master, and he can't be careless at all, he is still a little sleepy, as soon as Du Yiyi comes to sit beside him, he can only lift his spirit.

In the silent room, only the sound of the burning matches could be heard in the tongue of fire, which was more dewy, but fortunately, Du Yiyi was wearing a moon-white bamboo pattern jacket, and sat by the fire, her cold hands and feet gradually warmed up, and the cold had gone away from her.

Qin Huai silently and silently intermittently added some flammable twigs to the fire, and some pine cones are also necessary firewood for ordinary people's winter heating, and the hot mist spit out by the two of them quickly dissipated in the cold air, and the fire became bigger and bigger, so that Du Yiyi's thighs were so hot that he had to move the small pestle and retreat a little.

Qin Huai knew that it was a big fire, so he immediately put out some ashes to reduce the fire, and the bright room suddenly darkened again.

The silent atmosphere made Qin Huai embarrassed, he felt inappropriate to stretch out his hand to bake the fire, and he wanted to get up and go out but had nowhere to go, which would startle Ning Zhiyuan's sleepiness.

The flames on the crackling firewood gradually rose again, and Du Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief, breaking the silence: "Qin Huai, how long have you been following Ning Zhiyuan?" ”

"I've been by my son's side since he moved out to choose a mansion, and it's been five years!" Qin Huai trampled a few coals on the soles of his feet into slag with the soles of his feet, reached out with the hand on his waist, picked up a branch on the ground, and stretched it into the fire to stir up the firewood that was smoking before it was burning.

"Five years! He's kind of in your heart! Do you know where his illness came from? Du Yiyi turned sideways slightly, avoiding the thick smoke.

Chang Liu said that this is indeed from the mother's womb! But it's not a disease, it's poison, fortunately, Concubine Su's premature birth poisoning is not deep, if it is a smooth birth like a scheduled birth, where can the child's life be saved! Qin Huai's deliberately lowered voice was very heavy, and the action of stirring the firewood became slow.

"Is someone poisoning and wanting to kill Concubine Su?" Du Yiyi understood the meaning of Qin Huai's words.

"The most poisonous woman's heart, even the person who is pregnant does not let go, and it is still such a poisonous ...... that is difficult to pull out" Seeing Du Yiyi's face stiffened, Qin Huai suddenly dropped the burned branch in his hand, and immediately knelt down: "Madam, I am full of nonsense, and I never mean to offend Madame!" ”

Du Yiyi was provoked by the action of this fierce man who always jumped and jumped, picked up the tongs on the ground and stirred up the firewood: "Get up, I don't mean to blame you, the most poisonous woman's heart!" Ning Zhiyuan is also fateful! If a concubine is pregnant, won't there be a special treatment by the imperial doctor? How is it that no one notices all this time? ”

Seeing that Du Yiyi was so calm, Qin Huai got up and sat down again, Du Yiyi's story is known to everyone in the capital, and Qin Huai can probably understand what kind of temperament Du Yiyi is when he contacts him in the past two days. "Otherwise, how can it be said that they are evil-hearted! Chang Liu said that the poison went into it at first, and if the amount was light, it would only cause the pregnant person to vomit and be sleepy, and there would be no other symptoms, only if it accumulates day by day, it will be toxic to break out, according to the budget of the poisoner, it will be down until Concubine Su is pregnant, and the woman giving birth to a child is equivalent to closing the ghost door for a while, and when the toxicity occurs, it will be unconsciously pushed to the point that it is a difficult birth, so that one corpse and two lives, the plan of the poisoned person will succeed! ”
