Chapter Fifty-Six: Seclusion in a Foreign Country
Yan Yijun immediately took over Xin An, took Jiao Niang around and finally got into a carriage: "Let's leave immediately to prevent them from sealing the city gate." After the men had taken their seats, the groom drove to the city gate.
Xin An should be hungry and crying. Jiao Niang hurriedly took out the pastries from the luggage and broke them to feed him, and sure enough, Xin An no longer howled and cried when she had something to eat, but just sobbed for a while.
Yan Yijun touched Xin An's plush head lovingly, such a young child was taken captive from China to a foreign country, and he could be regarded as suffering a lot.
"Brother Yan, how do you know that I am in the capital of the Northern Border? My eldest brother, are they okay? After this night's tossing, Jiao Niang did not feel sleepy at all, but remembered her eldest brother and Aunt Lin.
Yan Yijun looked at Jiao Niang, it was only two months apart, and the little girl seemed to have grown up, and her posture was like a spring bud branch, becoming taller and more curvy. She was tilting her head to look at herself, a few strands of black hair naughtily kissed her red lips, but tomorrow's innocent actions revealed a taste of temptation.
"Brother Yan?" Seeing that Yan Yijun didn't speak and just looked at her motionlessly, Jiao Niang stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Yan Yijun's eyes.
"When I found your eldest brother and them, they told me that you were separated from them when they met the Northern Army. I found no trace of you along the road, but I heard the news that General Zhao suddenly withdrew to the north with his people. I inquired about the forces in the rivers and lakes, and it was General Zhao who found the missing four princes in the north, and there was a woman from Huaguo with a baby in his team. I guess it's you, so you disguised yourself and blended into the North. ”
Yan Yijun said that the wind was calm, but Jiao Niang could imagine how dangerous and difficult it was for Yan Yijun to find her traces alone in the chaos of the war, and how dangerous and difficult it was for him to sneak into the country of the enemy country alone.
She couldn't help but redden: "You're so stupid, just hear a piece of news and travel thousands of miles, if it's not me, wouldn't you come for nothing?" ”
Yan Yijun smiled: "It's good that it's you, otherwise I don't know what year and day I will find it when the world is so big." Just this sentence, like a gust of spring breeze, blew away the haze in Jiao Niang's heart these days.
Some people rejoice in their loss, while others suffer from their loss.
Outside the Xianghe Palace, the Northern Emperor looked at the ruined Luofei Sleeping Palace, and kicked over the housekeeper of the Xianghe Palace.
"When your master is in danger, you people! How did this fire burn to such an extent? How do you guys be worth it! There was an uncontrollable anger flashing in the eyes of the Northern Emperor, like an enraged lion, which frightened the palace people and forbidden troops present to kneel.
"Your Majesty Mingjian, because of the birthday of the imperial concubine, most of the manpower in our palace has been transferred. Concubine Luo said that she was in a bad mood and didn't want to see so many people dangling in front of her, so she ordered us not to enter the dormitory for half a step, and only invited Miss Xin to chat with her. The butler who was kicked over trembled with fright, but she held back her fear and explained for the sake of her own life.
Another little eunuch cried and crawled beside the housekeeper: "Your Majesty, when the fire was burning, the minions also wanted to rush in to save Concubine Luo." But the door to the dormitory was locked from the inside, and the minions tried hard to knock it open! ”
"Your Majesty, when Weichen arrived, the fire was already too big, and we put out the fire but we were powerless to return to the sky." The commander of the forbidden army replied truthfully.
"Well, what a powerless one, my beloved concubine was burned alive in the dormitory. None of you are even responsible? The Emperor of the Northern Realm thought of the way the charming man leaned lightly on his chest, the way she danced under the moon, the way she was jealous and petty, and her chest hurt as if it had been pierced by a sword.
"Your Majesty, don't get angry and hurt your body carefully." Zhou Guifei and a group of concubines hurriedly came, and when they saw the emperor's angry appearance, Zhou Guifei stepped forward and comforted without thinking about it.
Unexpectedly, the Northern Emperor was even more furious when he saw Zhou Guifei, and he remembered that because of Zhou Guifei on the painting boat, Luo Xue fell into the water in embarrassment and almost lost her life.
He remembered that Zhou Guifei held a birthday banquet and transferred most of the manpower in Luoxue Palace, if there were enough people in Luoxue Palace, would Luo Xue not die? If Concubine Zhou hadn't held a birthday banquet, wouldn't Luo Xue have locked herself in the dormitory sullenly?
The Northern Emperor pushed Zhou Guifei away and scolded angrily: "Concubine Luo died so tragically, you are still wearing red and green, who will you show this frivolous appearance?" ”
Zhou Guifei was stunned, the Emperor of the Northern Realm had never spoken to her like this, not even speaking loudly, and now she was talking about her in public! Zhou Guifei's eyes immediately turned red, turned around and ran away crying.
The Northern Emperor sneered, Zhou Guifei seemed to have always used this trick.
"Your Majesty, Prince Rong fainted when he learned the bad news, go and take a look!" Gonggong Zheng was supported by several little eunuchs and ran over. The Northern Emperor took a deep look at Luo Xue's dormitory and rushed to Yunchen Palace......
Here, Yan Yijun and they had already left Xueni City, and the carriage did not go to the main road, but took the rugged mountain road, the more they went into the mountains, the denser the woods became, and the carriage ran from dawn to dark, and when the forest path had disappeared, the coachman lifted the curtain and said, "Young Master, it's here." ”
Yan Yijun nodded, hugged Xin An and handed it to the coachman, and then came to support Jiao Niang. Jiao Niang took the luggage and asked a little blankly: "Brother Yan, where is this?" ”
Yan Yijun carefully pulled Jiao Niang to follow behind the coachman, and said comfortingly: "I don't know if Concubine Luo's plan is feasible, so on the day you discussed it with me, I asked the secret agent to find such a place." Let's stay for a while and wait until the wind is calm before leaving. ”
After a cup of tea, it was already completely dark. By the moonlight, Jiao Niang saw a courtyard in a large open field, and when she walked in, she felt a little dilapidated when she walked in, as if no one had lived in it for a long time. Yan Yijun took Xin An, and the coachman opened the courtyard door, handed Jiao Niang a bunch of keys and said, "Miss Gongzi, you can live here!" It's very private, and I've got everything ready. I'm going back to Snow City and I'll pick you up when the wind passes. ”
Seeing the coachman leave, Yan Yijun took the lead in walking into the yard with Xin An in his arms, and when Yan Yijun went to the house and lit the lamp, Jiao Niang found that the courtyard house looked broken on the outside, but it was very comfortably furnished inside, and all the household utensils were available.
"Brother Yan, you play with An'er for a while. I went to the kitchen to see that we hadn't eaten hot all day today. Jiao Niang thought about it and decided to see what ingredients were available in the kitchen to make a little simple for dinner, and today I felt sick to my stomach after eating pastries for a day in the carriage.
