"Jinyi, why are you here? Come on in, have you been caught in the rain? ”

In the study room of the Longxin Palace, which was covered by the rain curtain, the fourth prince Wen Mozheng happily invited the half-veiled woman in, personally sent a cup of hot tea and sent her to the seat politely.

"Your Highness, don't be busy, I'm just here to say a few words, and I'll leave later." Tang Jinyi, who had already abandoned his identity as a noble Jin, grabbed Wen Mozheng, and embarrassedly let go of his hand, closed the door tightly and let out a long breath, "Yesterday, the head of Deng Prison, who was guarding the prison, came to the door, saying that Concubine Ping asked her to come to me, and refused to say it for a long time, and gave Concubine Ping the promised one hundred taels of silver before he spoke. I thought that I would wait for His Highness to go down to the mansion to discuss this matter, but seeing that the weather would not be sunny for three or two days, I thought that it was inconvenient for His Highness to leave the palace, so I had to go there in person. ”

"Concubine Ping?" Wen Mozheng was surprised, "Aren't they all executed?" Why do you ask someone to bring you a message? Didn't you want to drag you into the water? ”

Tang Jinyi shook his head: "Concubine Ping is timid and afraid of things, and her position is not strong, at that time, she didn't dare to participate in the imperial concubine's motherhood if she wanted to achieve great things, and later although she took refuge in Concubine Yun for self-protection, she was not bad-hearted, and most of the sisters who were expelled from the palace were helped by her to get through the difficulties." This time, Concubine Ping made a big mistake, I believe it was not her own intention, and the words she passed on to the head of the Deng cell also proved that she was indeed carrying the black pot for others. ”

"I'm usually a very steady person, and I don't believe it if she deliberately framed her father and the princess of Nanqing, but her case was directly ordered to be executed without anyone being tried by anyone, and many of the inside stories were buried, so I'm still haunted by it." Wen Mozheng's young and old face had a trace of unwillingness, and he grabbed Tang Jinyi's hand and asked urgently, "Jinyi, tell me quickly, what did Concubine Ping ask people to say?" But what does that have to do with that? ”

Tang Jinyi's cheeks were slightly red, and he pulled out his palm and bowed his head deeply: "I don't know if Deng Gaotou can't tell it clearly or Concubine Ping is confused, and the two sentences that came are really confusing - the first sentence is 'pearl is not pearl', and the second sentence is 'snake swallowing birds'." I thought about it all night and didn't guess what Concubine Ping was trying to convey, and I was afraid that the stakes would be so important that I couldn't delay, so I ventured into the palace, thinking that maybe His Royal Highness and Boss Jun could break through the mystery. ”

"I can't figure out these guesses and the like, and I have to let Wu Nian solve the puzzles." Wen Mozheng shrugged his shoulders and looked down at Tang Jinyi's shy face, unable to become serious.

Looking at the beloved woman, where can you still feel heavy?

With a low laugh, Wen Mozheng naughtily reached out and gently pinched Tang Jinyi's cheek: "I knew you would be bored alone." I'll send someone to send you back when the rain is lighter, and no matter how much I have to do tonight, whether it's a knife or a stone, I'll definitely go to see you, and you'll have to wait for me. ”

Tang Jinyi hesitated, hesitated for a long time before nodding lightly.

Although she has lived in an inconspicuous wide mansion compound under Wen Mozheng's arrangement, what should have happened and what shouldn't have happened has happened, Tang Jinyi still cares a little about the relationship between the two, after all, she was a concubine and he is the prince, so it is really against the norm to entangle.

The more shy Tang Jinyi became, the more Wen Mozheng liked it tightly, and suddenly lowered his head to Tang Jinyi's ear, and spoke softly: "I told my father that I planned to marry a civilian woman as a side concubine, and my father has nodded in agreement, the sixth day of the first month of next month is an auspicious day, I want to marry you." ”

On this day, Wen Mozheng waited anxiously, but she was not very looking forward to Tang Jinyi - it was not that she was unwilling to follow Wen Mozheng, but she knew too well that even if she married as a side concubine, she could not stand in front of the world, her identity, her past identity, would never allow her to become Wen Mozheng's wife, and there were very few women who could freely choose their feelings and lives like Yan Liwu.

didn't refuse, just because I couldn't bear to see his disappointed expression.

In Fengluo City, where a few families are happy and a few are sad, in the imperial capital of the imperial capital shrouded in clouds, time is still passing silently like an hourglass, and the news about the collusion of the prince of Dingyuan with the remnants of the rebels is everywhere, and some people are happy and some are worried, and Wen Moqing, who is the core of the incident, is still on the way to Cangwu County, and he has no idea about it.

Cangwu County is a magical place, the terrain in the county is high and low, the difference is huge, and the climate is also very different with the deep mountains, the valley that has been walked through is rainy and rainy, hot and humid, and the high mountain is howling, dry and cold.

Wen Moqing, Bi Sheng, and Zhong Yue are no strangers to this kind of scene, but they are bitter and sad and on the ninth day of the first month, the two people who ride the same horse never thought that there was such an uncertain place in the world, it was hot and sweaty for a while, and it was so cold that its teeth chattered for a while, and the thick cloak prepared by Wen Moqing in advance was not useful.

"It's hard to avoid the cold and heat by only practicing external skills, and I'll teach you internal skills when I have time."

Wen Moqing saw that Yan Liwu and Chu Jiu were so cold that his face turned pale, and he groaned Shaoqing decisively dismounted, grabbed the reins of Yan Liwu's horse and hugged Chu Jiu. Yan Liwu didn't know what he was going to do, he looked curiously while shivering, only to see Wen Moqing send Chu Jiu to Bi Sheng's horse, the two of them were wrapped in the same cloak, and Chu Jiu quickly stopped trembling. Bi Sheng is also a person who practices internal skills, and he can't do it without invading the cold and heat, but he won't be affected by this cold, and the heat on his body is transmitted to the ninth day of the junior high school, which is naturally much warmer than the same cold that is passed on from the worries.

But in this way, it is even colder to talk about worry.

"You come down too." Wen Moqing glanced at the words on the horse's back with a generous and righteous expression, and smoothly tied the reins of the horse behind the horse he was riding.

Yan Liwu was already so cold that he didn't have the energy to think, so he jumped off the horse according to Wen Moqing's words, and before she could stand on her feet, a huge force suddenly pulled her on the other horse, and then she was surrounded by warmth, and the cold wind was still howling, but she couldn't touch her at all.

"Sit down, don't move." Wen Moqing tied the cloak ribbon, pressed the head that was reluctant to settle down, and his face did not change, like a righteous gentleman, "Don't blame me for taking advantage of you again." ”

At this time, Yan Liwu should scold loudly and shamelessly, but the cold of Fang Cai made it difficult for her to move her lips, and she couldn't do anything other than roll her eyes fiercely.

Although she is a little reluctant, in fact, she still likes this way of heating very much, firstly, she does not have to work hard to drive the horse, and secondly, she does not have to suffer from the wind and cold, but she will always accidentally cling to Wen Moqing's chest in the bumps, which makes her feel quite embarrassed.

The ancient adage is that men and women do not kiss, and Wen Moqing is also a person who does not like to be close to women, but he is an exception to the words and worries, which shows what it shows at a glance. Zhong Yue wanted to cough dryly and tease his young master's hooliganism, but his eyes inadvertently swept over Bi Sheng, whose face was gloomy and almost fell to the ground, and consciously swallowed the words back into his stomach.

The mountain is high and steep, snowless and cold, and none of the five people in the group speak, only hearing the crisp sound of copper bells from time to time in the howling wind.

When he finally reached the mountain pass, Wen Moqing suddenly reined in his horse: "Zhong Yue, you send Bisheng back to the building, and tell the master that I will go back in half a month—by the way, let the master start accumulating silver, which will be of great use in the future." ”

"Uh...... The matter of the silver is still waiting for the young master to go back and tell the landlord in person, the little life of the subordinates really can't afford to toss. Zhong Yue licked his lips and smiled bitterly, nodding to Bi Sheng reluctantly, "Miss Bi Sheng, let's go, there is still a short distance in the building, and you won't be able to get there before dark." ”

Bi Sheng naturally wouldn't be willing to part with Wen Moqing, not to mention that there was a Yan Liwu on the side, but Wen Moqing didn't even look at her, so that Yan Liwu and Chu Jiu left after riding back on the horse, and refused to give a goodbye.

When it comes to women, he never minds being rude or anything like that, with a few exceptions, and obviously Bi Sheng is not among them.

"Senior brother, I'll wait for you in the building!" Looking at Wen Moqing's distant figure, Bi Sheng's eyes were slightly red, and he opened his throat and shouted, but he also knew that he would never get a response. The relationship between her and Wen Moqing, who was barely maintained, may be coming to an end, if there was no marriage contract, he would have ignored it a long time ago and only gave attention to one person.

Without Bi Sheng staring at him, the pressure on Yan Li's back was suddenly relieved, and it was much warmer after leaving the mountains and entering the low-lying dense forest, and the small team of three people gradually chatted more.

"This place is remote and difficult to travel, there shouldn't be many people who can live in Cangwu County, I thought you must be back to Junzilou when you came here."

"The person I want to show you has a lot of connections with Junzilou, but he is not a disciple of Junzilou." Wen Moqing seems to be reluctant to elaborate too much on the identity of the person she wants to meet, and the more she moves forward, the less she talks, and most of the time she is silent listening to her worries and chattering and laughing.

Before the sun sets, the destination has finally arrived.

Yan Liwu saw the mountain forest at first sight and liked it greatly, the green trees and grass all over the mountain, layers of green, a little flower, and the wind blew and moved, looking at a piece of green bowing down, new green jumping, like waves one after another, beautiful.

"This is the most beautiful mountain in Cangwu County, some people call it Qixian Mountain, and some people of different races across the mountain call it Sumisar, which means the garden of the gods." The mountain road is difficult to walk, Wen Moqing tied the horse to a big rock on the mountainside and began to walk, his eyes have been staring at the direction of the top of the mountain, "More than 20 years ago, when the master first arrived in Cangwu County, he really wanted to build a gentleman's building on Qixian Mountain, but unfortunately the mountain rocks here are soft and difficult to build high-rise buildings, and finally had to give up. When I first entered the Junzi Building, the happiest thing was to accompany Master to come over, pick mountain fruits, roast game, and then lie on the hillside and sleep comfortably until sunset. ”

"It's a beautiful place indeed. Such mountains and rivers are the most suitable for the growth of warm medicinal herbs, such as this pearl intoxicating fruit, which is difficult to see in other places. If you want me to say that this Qixian Mountain is not only a garden, but also a natural medicine garden. Yan Liwu casually picked a piece of grass on the side of the road, closed his eyes and sniffed deeply.

Wen Moqing chuckled: "Three sentences do not leave the bank, and you are born to hang the pot to help the world." ”

"I live in a terrible place, there are no mountains and no water, and the weather is gray. I have had a wish since I was a child, I hope that when I grow up, I can have a place with blue grass as my home, even if I want to live at sunrise, it doesn't matter, as long as I have a good time. ”

The memory of Yan Liwu has always been the most perplexing place for Wen Moqing, she doesn't know how she is in Qinglian Palace, how she can be the stand-in of Qinglian King, but she remembers a lot of past events that have nothing to do with Qinglian King or Qinglian Palace, but at this time, Wen Moqing has no intention of asking - if it is not necessary, he does not want this question to be raised again in his life, whether it is himself or others.

"If one day I can let go of the burden I carry, I will also choose to live in seclusion in Qixian Mountain and end my life." Withdrawing the intoxicating fruit from Yan Liwu's hand, Wen Moqing strode forward, his voice was light and serious, "So...... If you want, you can live here for as long as you want. ”
