Chapter 149 To go or not to go
Princess Ruixiang sniffed twice, threw the handkerchief in her hand to the ground, stared at her red eyes and cried loudly: "This princess can't care about others!" All I know is that there has been no news for a long time, and if I wait in the palace any longer, I will collapse! ”
She leaned forward and grabbed Yan Xiaoyi's hand involuntarily: "I'm going to go south to the bagpipe abyss to find them, do you want to go with me?" ”
Yan Xiaoyan was taken aback: "What? You're going to bagpipe abyss? It takes seven or eight days to walk from the capital non-stop, have you discussed it with the emperor? Did the emperor and the queen agree? ”
Princess Ruixiang bit her lip: "So far, of course they won't agree, since the accident on Phoenix Island, they have completely restricted my freedom, let alone go far, even the suburbs of Beijing won't let me go, so I sneaked out of the palace to discuss with you!" ”
She grabbed Yan Xiaoyi's hand tightly: "Is it okay for you to go with me, don't you want to be General Rong?" You haven't been in touch with him for a long time, and even Master Taifu is afraid that something will go wrong between you, are you so relieved of him? ”
Seeing Yan Xiaoyi's face tense, she bit her lip and took another dose of fierce medicine: "You have only heard that Bagpipes Yuan is a coastal state and county of our Baili Dynasty, but you don't know that there are actually many beautiful women there, right?" The girls on the beach are all smart, are you really so relieved? ”
Yan Xiaowei withdrew her hand from her palm, clenched her fist without a trace, but her face did not move: "No matter what you say, it won't work anyway!" I won't go with you, especially without the knowledge of the emperor and the queen! I'm going with you, not to mention whether anything will go wrong on the way, but the capital can't be reassuring! Let's pat our butts and leave, but what if the emperor and the queen can't find you to pursue it? Aren't you harming our Yan family! ”
Seeing that Princess Ruixiang's face darkened, Yan Xiaoyu sighed softly: "If you really want to go to the bagpipe yuan, why don't you intercede with the emperor and the queen mother first, get their permission, and send you people to protect you, how about I go with you again?" ”
Princess Ruixiang Huo Di stood up from her chair, and a deep imprint formed between her eyebrows.
She looked at Yan Xiaoyu angrily and irritably: "Why can't I tell you that I don't understand?" If my father and mother agree to my departure from Beijing, I still need to be so sneaky! Now, I'll ask you a question, do you go or don't go? ”
Yan Xiaoyan also twisted her eyebrows and raised her head to look at her: "Princess, didn't you deliberately embarrass me?" Privately helping the princess secretly cross Chen Cang, have you ever thought about how big a crime this is? Although I also want to see Rong Xiu and them, I can't joke with the lives of the Yan family! What's more, when you are found to be missing in the palace, the palace maids and eunuchs who follow you may not know how to be punished! Haven't you thought about any of this? ”
Princess Ruixiang pursed her lips, and took a deep breath with red eyes: "Okay, since you have so many concerns, then I won't force you!" However, since I am out of the palace, the bagpipe yuan is decided! ”
As she spoke, she shifted the chair behind her to the side and walked to the door in three steps and two steps.
Yan Xiaoyan saw her hand on the door latch, and hurriedly took her hand: "Princess, what are you doing here!" ”
Princess Ruixiang stopped, looked back at her, and said categorically: "If you don't go with me, then I'll find a way to go to the bagpipe abyss by myself." It's just that I'm going to ask you for one thing. After I disappear, the palace will definitely send someone out to look for me! In order to prevent them from worrying, please help me go to the palace to deliver news, so that they don't worry! ”
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she added: "However, I will not go to the palace to deliver the letter until two days after my departure, otherwise, my father and the emperor will definitely send someone to arrest me back." In two days, I can almost walk to Baigu, and even if they hurry up, they may not be able to catch up. ”
Yan Xiaowei never thought that even if she was not with her, she would insist on going to bagpipes. How dangerous it must be for a girl to go by herself so far away from the bagpipe abyss, and even worse if she meets someone who knows her identity!
Yan Xiaowei couldn't allow this to happen under her nose, so she clenched her hand tighter: "No, you can't go." ”
Princess Ruixiang didn't expect her to hold on to herself, and shook her hand angrily: "Hey, you're not finished, I've said it, you don't want to go with me, I don't force you!" Now that I want to leave myself, you dare to take care of this princess's affairs, are you impatient? Loosen up! ”
Yan Xiaowei was not ready to be rough with her, firstly, she was afraid that her rabbit would bite and hurt herself, and secondly, she was also afraid that she would be injured by mistake, so she rolled her eyes and hurriedly said: "I'm not saying that you can't go, I'm saying that you can't go now." ”
Princess Ruixiang was stunned for a moment, twisted her eyebrows and asked, "I can't leave now, why?" ”
Yan Xiaowei reached out again and grabbed her sleeve tightly: "After leaving the capital, do you know how to go to Bagpipes?" ”
Princess Ruixiang pursed her lips: "Hire a carriage!" ”
Yan Xiaoyun shook her head: "How can it be so simple, the carriages are all on the official road." After the news of your escape from the palace spreads into the palace, the emperor and the queen only need to send people to check the checkpoints of the official road, not to mention that you leave Beijing for two days first, that is, you will leave Beijing for half a month, and it will only be a matter of time before you are found. ”
Princess Ruixiang hesitated: "So, you can't go through the official road?" ”
Yan Xiaohui had an expression of "I knew you hadn't thought about it", and dragged her whole person to the table: "Yes, of course you can't go on the official road!" Take the trail! You have to study the map now, where is the path closer, and it is not easy to meet the bad guys, so you don't know where to go if you don't know anything! ”
Princess Ruixiang took advantage of her support to put it on the chair again, twisted her eyebrows and said, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and bring the map to me to see!" ”
Yan Xiaowei smiled at her soothingly: "Don't worry, the map will definitely be given to you, but have you eaten?" How can you walk without eating and on an empty stomach, princess, do you want to go hungry until the bagpipes can't be reached? ”
Princess Ruixiang pursed her lips disdainfully: "What is the matter of eating, I have two thousand taels of silver tickets on me, when the time comes, I can buy a little food wherever I am hungry, why are you so troublesome?" ”
Yan Xiaoyu smiled lightly helplessly: "Two thousand taels of silver tickets? Your Royal Highness Princess, do you think that everywhere is the capital! Out of the city gate, all the way is a wilderness or a small town, whether there is a shop or not! Even if there were, two thousand taels was an astronomical amount, and it was not certain that they would not be able to get that much silver for a while. If you don't have any money, what do you have to eat? ”
Her eyes stared at Princess Ruixiang for a moment: "What's more, walking on a small road, you can't meet a small town for a few days, even if you have silver, there is no place to buy it, do you want to be hungry?" ”
Princess Ruixiang obviously didn't think of this layer, and after a long while, she finally spoke: "Then I will exchange the silver tickets in the capital, and then buy some snacks and take them with you!" ”
Yan Xiaoyi's eyes widened: "It's all exchanged?" Walking with so much silver, what if you encounter robbers? Besides, although it is cold now, the dim sum is still easy to spoil after a long time, how will you eat it then! ”
Princess Ruixiang hung her head, simply lost her temper, and stared at Yan Xiaoyi: "What's the matter with you, don't you deliberately go against me!" This doesn't work, that doesn't work, are you deliberately not wanting me to go! ”
Yan Xiaowei raised her eyebrows, revealing an innocent expression: "I saw that you haven't gone out alone, princess, and I want to tell you about the problems you may encounter on the road first, but I don't mean to deliberately go against you, you will wronged me if you say so!" ”
She spread her hands and said deliberately: "Since you don't want to listen to my advice and advice, I don't care what happens on the road, just let it go!" ”
Although Princess Ruixiang is not very familiar with her, she has seen a lot of her behavior in Phoenix Island last time, and she is indeed more careful and thoughtful than speaking and doing things herself, so she pursed the corners of her lips and said slowly: "Okay, I didn't say anything, you go on, what should I do!" ”
Yan Xiaoyi licked the corners of her dry lips: "It's getting late now, the Di shop is no longer open, don't exchange the silver ticket on your body, I'll take out thirty taels for you from the silver I saved on weekdays for a while, you take it first, and then return it to me when you have the chance." ”
When Princess Ruixiang heard this, her rabbit-like eyes suddenly widened, as if she asked in disbelief, "Do you really want to borrow my silver first?" ”
Seeing Yan Xiaowei nodding, she leaned over and grabbed her hand at once, and her eyes turned into crescent moons: "Xiaocun, you are so good!" ”
Yan Xiaoyun saw that her hostility towards her had decreased slightly, and she was secretly glad in her heart, and hurriedly said: "It's evening at this moment, the city gate is estimated to have been closed a long time ago, and you can't get out." Anyway, the emperor didn't know that you would be in our mansion, so it would be better to have dinner in our mansion first, and then sleep, and wait until tomorrow morning to dress up and send me out of the city in person. ”
"How?" She looked at Princess Ruixiang cautiously and said tentatively: "In the evening, you can not only have a good rest at the end of our Yan Mansion, but I can also order Yaxiang and them to help you make a few sugar cakes that can be brought for a long time and will not be bad on the road." ”
Although Princess Ruixiang hesitated, she was still moved by her.
Yan Xiaoyu turned her back to Princess Ruixiang and winked at Yaxiang: "You and Lingxiang go to the small kitchen next to you to cook some delicious meals, and then help the princess make a few sugar cakes that can be carried on the road." As she spoke, she winked at Yaxiang and wrote an Arabic numeral "9" in the air with her hand. This symbol was specially given to Yaxiang and them when Yan Xiaowei was keeping accounts in the hospital.
Ya Xiang knew that she was alluding to the "Nine Emperor Princes" when she saw it, and quickly nodded, indicating that she understood.
Yan Xiaoyi's index finger tapped on the table: "Well, go quickly, remember to move smaller, don't yell and alarm others." If the princess's affairs in our family are known to others, it will be troublesome! ”
You can't alarm others, that is, you can only let the Nine Emperors know? Ya Xiang nodded hurriedly, indicating that she knew, and while Princess Ruixiang was not paying attention, she blinked her eyes in a hurry, and then retreated with Ling Xiang and the two of them.
Seeing that Yaxiang understood and understood her own hints, Yan Xiaoyi's heart relaxed a lot. In order to stabilize Princess Ruixiang, she really tried her best.
Originally, she also wanted to be like a gentleman and keep her promise to Princess Ruixiang. However, there are exceptions to everything. Princess Ruixiang is a person who lives in the palace all the year round and is pampered, where does she understand the sinister nature of people's hearts? Let such a person go out alone, or go to such a far place, how can Yan Xiaowei put her mind at ease?
However, it is even more impossible for her to hide from Bai Liying and Queen Lu and take Princess Ruixiang out of the city! There are so many guards and eyeliner in the palace, sooner or later they will find out about the Yan Mansion, and when the time comes, no matter whether Princess Ruixiang leaves or not, whether she arrives safely at the bagpipe abyss, she will not end well!
If you don't talk about the abuse, maybe you will be regarded as a "person with a heart" with a conspiracy, in this way, if you don't say anything about your wrongs, you will 100% affect Yan's father and the Yan family!
However, in the same way, from Princess Ruixiang's point of view, if she explained everything about Princess Ruixiang's escape to Bai Liying and Queen Lu, she would be so unkind. After all, she had already seen Princess Ruixiang's extraordinary feelings for Qingbai on Phoenix Island, and when she thought of herself and Rong Xiu, she could somewhat understand some of her feelings of missing her sweetheart and fighting for Qingbai.
Therefore, after thinking about it, the only person who can ask for help is Baili Yesu.
After a while, Lingxiang made four dishes and one soup and brought them into the house. Yan Xiaowei saw that there was no Yaxiang by her side, and she thought that Yaxiang had already gone to Baili Yesu, and she was relieved.
However, Princess Ruixiang has always been straightforward and fast-talking, and she is a little delicate and willful, Yan Xiaowei is afraid that she will suddenly change her hexagram after a while, so she is still a little anxious.
While watching her eat absentmindedly, he drew in circles with wolf hair pretending to be on the map, pretending to find a path for her to escape the "surveillance" of Baili Ying and Empress Lu, and at the same time pricked up his ears to listen to the wind and grass outside. First, I was afraid that the people of Yanfu would find out about the abnormality of Mufeng Courtyard, and secondly, I was looking forward to Baili Yesu coming to Yanfu soon, which can be described as a three-purpose service, ah no, it should be a four-purpose purpose.
About half an hour passed, Princess Ruixiang pushed the rice bowl in front of her to the side, picked up the handkerchief on the table and wiped her mouth, her eyes swept around the room and suddenly said, "Hey, why is the girl in your house missing?" I haven't seen anyone since before eating! ”
Yan Xiaowei couldn't help but feel a little weak when she mentioned it, she wouldn't see anything, right?
Hurriedly pretended not to care, and said without even raising his head: "Oh, you should go out!" We only have a small kitchen in Mufeng Courtyard, and there are only enough things in it to eat for a day or two. The sugar cakes you have to bring on the road need some flour, my small kitchen is not enough, she went to the front big kitchen to get it. ”
Seeing that Princess Ruixiang was still going to speak, Yan Xiaoyu hurriedly handed over the circled map in her hand: "Look at it, how about such a route?" ”
Princess Ruixiang was successfully diverted and took the map and studied it carefully.
Every second that passed, Yan Xiaowei was like sitting on pins and needles, for fear that Princess Ruixiang would regret it, and when the time came, she really had no excuse to keep her!
Just as she was sitting anxiously in her chair like an ant on a hot pot, suddenly there was a knock on the door twice from the outside.
Yan Xiaoyun hurriedly stood up, walked to the door and put his hand on the latch. Although she didn't look back, she could feel Princess Ruixiang's gaze fixed on the back of her head.
Yan Xiaoyan took a light breath and asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”
Yaxiang's voice sounded outside: "Girl, it's me, I'm back." ”
Yan Xiaowei hurriedly stretched out her hand to open the door from the inside, and sure enough, Ya Xiang was standing at the door, and behind Ya Xiang was the "savior" that Yan Xiaowei finally waited.
The night breeze ruffled his inky hair, and his deep eyes deepened.
The Nine Emperor Princes, Baili Ye Su, nodded at her and walked into the room with one step.
When Princess Ruixiang heard the knock on the door just now, she thought it was someone from the Yan Mansion who came, and was hesitating whether to hide secretly, but then she heard Yaxiang's voice and let go of her heart. However, when she saw the tall figure standing at the door, she was stunned for a moment.
His eyes blinked twice, and he saw that the man opposite frowned, and there was a faint dissatisfaction in his deep eyes, only to see him open his mouth and say in a deep voice: "Ruixiang, why are you here, my father and mother are looking for you and are going crazy, go back with me!" ”
Princess Ruixiang silently looked at this royal brother who fell from the sky, and suddenly reacted, and was furious!
She reached out angrily and flicked the teapot on the table onto the table, accompanied by a "sparse" sound, the floor was full of debris, mixed with dark brown tea leaves.
She trembled her lips, stretched out her index finger and pointed at Yan Xiaoyi's nose, her red eyes did not blink, and the corners of her mouth raised a sarcastic smile: "Okay, you Yan Xiaoyi, the princess still treats you as a friend, I heard you help me arrange an escape route here, it turns out that you have betrayed me behind my back!" What a fool this princess is, she actually believes your words! ”
As she spoke, as if venting her anger, she grabbed the sheepskin map in her hand and was about to tear it, but although the sheepskin was soft, it was very strong, and she could tear it apart casually.
She pulled it twice, and when she saw that it couldn't be torn, she became more and more angry for a while, so she simply threw the map to the ground, and stepped on it with her feet as if she was angry: "I'm angry, I'm angry, you hypocrite, what a villain!" Lie to me! ”
Seeing her messing around like this, Baili Yesu glanced at Yan Xiaoyu apologetically, and hurriedly raised his legs and walked over, stopping the person who was kicking and scratching: "Ruixiang, don't make trouble, be obedient, go back with the imperial brother!" Do you know that my father and mother know that you are gone, and they are about to die. Now the palace maids and little eunuchs who usually serve you are kneeling in Kunning Palace! The Queen Mother said, "If you don't find you tomorrow at noon, you will put them to death." Do you really want to watch others die for nothing because of you? ”
