Chapter 114: Going to the Frontier is Imminent
In the Weiyang Hall of the East Palace, Shen Mushi was ready to go.
He was dressed in a dark blue soft armor uniform, with a long sword decorated with jade hanging on his tiger-striped white jade belt, combed into a bun with glowing ink, and wearing a crown prince's gold crown on top, revealing a slender neck.
His eyebrows were solemn, his eyes were as bright as stars, and his lips were slightly pursed.
Two dark figures knelt on the ground at the bottom of the stairs, quietly waiting for the dispatch.
"On the days when the king is not in the East Palace, you must always take care of the movements of the crown princess, if there is any abnormal movement, close the door of the East Palace, and those who enter and exit without permission will be killed."
The man's eyes were as cold as frost, and he was full of majesty, not as lazy as when he was taking care of his clothes with the crown princess just now.
"Yes, Your Highness."
As soon as the two cool voices fell, Shen Mushi saw the little woman rushing towards this side with a crimson bag from a distance.
The light green skirt swayed behind her, creating a green that snaked like spring grass.
Two figures floated up the roof beams, so fast that they only felt that their eyes flickered, and they couldn't see anything clearly.
In the days since she returned to the palace from the Wuyue Academy in Lingxiao City, she had become accustomed to the fact that these secret guards who secretly protected their safety came and went without a trace, and now she had no time to deal with the whereabouts of the secret guards.
She was full of eyes only the man in front of her, and Shen Mushi was also affectionate, as soon as she saw her figure, her expression changed from cold and hard lines to soft, and she smiled at her.
"Hey, this is for you, you must carry it with you, and you must not take it off."
Both of them pulled out the red rope in the bag, stood on tiptoe, and tied the bag with both arms around the back of Shen Mushi's neck.
"What kind of treasure is this, a trick?"
Shen Mushi smiled, took off the bag and opened it to take a look, only to see that there was only a white silk wrapped in sandalwood ash in the bag, and he was a little puzzled.
Both snatched the brocade bag from the man's palm, and hung it back on Shen Mushi's neck, his eyes full of concern and uneasiness.
Tsai carefully stuffed it, confirmed that the bag was tightly attached to the man's chest, and then said with a serious face:
"This is the peace charm that my mother went to Guanyin Temple to ask for, don't take it down again, so that the Bodhisattva will bless you with a safe return."
Shen Mushi was amused by the cute and innocent little woman, and couldn't help but pinch her chin and peck her lightly on the forehead.
"This is a long way away, and there are North Vietnamese spies to make trouble, how can I rest assured? But don't forget that Song Qingcheng and her brother Song Yue are still in Chu Wei, what if they are ambushed on the way to collect grain? ”
Both of them reluctantly wrapped around Shen Mushi's waist, and they were a little unaccustomed to touching the cold soft armor, so they shrank their hands and tightened their grips a little tighter.
"You, what a fool, if they really have the guts to sneak up on us, kill one by one, cut off a pair of pairs, why are they so worried? Don't you believe in your husband's ability to lead the army? ”
Although Shen Mushi was disgusted, he finally fulfilled his wish and quietly stuffed the bag into the soft armor, leaving only a red rope to hang around his neck.
Shuangshuang's worries are not groundless, the main reason is that the North Vietnamese brothers and sisters are too insidious and cunning, and they actually sneaked into the Chu Wei realm at this juncture, and their behavior is abnormal.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the two of them left the Shen Mansion in Qishan with simple bags, and went to the Wuyue Academy in various places along the way to inspect, intending to find out what level the Confucian students from the poor families who were selected into the academy and had the ability to govern the world were.
If you really have good skills, you can be directly promoted as the prince through the Beijing test in the future, and if you have good generals to help, Shen Mushi can also be like a fish in water in the court.
On the way back to Beijing, there was nothing to do, and everywhere was peaceful, Shen Mushi even took both of them to a few places of interest to play, and the two of them looked peaceful and sweet not at all like the prince going out of the palace to inspect, but like an ordinary husband and wife going out to play.
The good mood was not broken until the day he left Soaring City.
The letter stated that the purpose of Song Yue, the prince of Beiyue, and the princess Song Chengcheng to sneak into Lijing this time was really impure.
The brother and sister dressed up in disguise, bought rice and grain everywhere in the name of Xidi businessmen, and secretly bought cloth and silk in the name of He Pingsheng, the richest businessman in Chu Wei, under Xidi's command, and the group was extremely low-key, and outsiders couldn't see the details of these people at all.
After that, the people of the dart bureau followed all the way and found that the cloth and rice grain purchased by Beiyue were escorted by special men and horses, and they were smuggled out of the country north through the border between Xidi and Chuwei.
The prince of Beiyue wanted to continue to collect grain, but because his sister's reckless whereabouts were revealed, he was unable to defeat Shen Mushi's pursuit and killing order, and he had left Lijing overnight and fled north.
Shen Mushi pondered: I think the information from the border last time is true, North Vietnam is not only seriously short of food, but also has a big shortage of cotton clothes for the winter.
Otherwise, Song Yue was not in the army, why did he take his sister to sneak to the territory of Chu Wei to secretly buy rice, grain, cloth, and silk?
Besides, they must have heard that Chu Wei was about to take grain to Licheng, so they fled north after the East Window incident.
With Song Chengcheng's style of acting, since the plan to buy grain secretly was forced to be interrupted, he simply didn't do anything and grabbed it directly!
They have a lot of men and horses this time, and they will definitely ambush and loot grain on the way to Licheng, and by the way, take revenge on Shen Mu for humiliating her.
Shen Mushi was convinced that Song Yue's suggestion would definitely be adopted, because judging from Song Yue's obsession with Song Chengcheng's perversion, she would praise Song Yue for farting well.
What's more, this time it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, and it is a great achievement! It's worth the risk!
However, Shen Mushi, who had insight into their plan, was not worried at all, and he wished to quickly confront the prince of North Vietnam, and he was sure to capture Song Yue alive to punish the heart of the North Vietnamese army, if there was no hope of capturing him alive, it would be okay to kill him.
"Be careful yourself, if something really happens, I will ask my father to send troops to pacify North Vietnam, capture the prince of North Vietnam and Song Chengcheng alive, and tie them to a stake and burn them to charcoal!"
Shuangshuang's childish threat interrupted Shen Mushi's musings.
He looked down, but saw that the little woman had a serious expression, half threatening and half serious.
"Are you still eating that princess's vinegar? You haven't tossed enough in the past few days? Well? Say such cruel words. Hey, it's really the most poisonous woman's heart. ”
Shen Mushi pretended to be surprised, and playfully stroked his smooth jade cheeks.
Thinking of the dozens of times he tossed his little wife on the bed in the past few days, Shen Mushi still felt unsatisfied and not satisfied.
"What do you say! You're cruel! Who sent men to hunt them down and force them to hide? It's you who you are! When the prince of the East Palace is Shen Mu! It's not the crown princess Lu Shuangshuang! ”
Both cherry lips curled slightly, and her fingers poked the man's hard chest, wanting to identify his crimes, but the armor was cold and hard, and the flesh almost broke her shallot-like nails.
He shook his hand unconvinced, and he didn't admit his jealousy of Song Chengcheng even if he was killed.
She is the crown princess, and everyone in the East Palace must obey her discipline, only Song Tingcheng, the sinister and vicious woman, Shuangshuang really can't do anything about her, so she has to remind His Royal Highness to be more vigilant.
Sometimes Shuangshuang also reflects on herself, since when did she learn to guard against others?
Was it because Song Tingcheng secretly stabbed her, or was she drugged last time?
I don't remember, it doesn't matter, in short, His Highness can't have anything, not a single hair is missing.
"In my absence, the East Palace has to work hard for you, so I will give it to Lu Ling and Ning Yi to do it, don't get tired. And that Jing'er, if you think it's easy to use, keep it, but when something happens, you still rely on the people I dialed to you, after all, I personally trained it here, and I feel more at ease if you use it. “
The two chicks nodded as if they were pecking rice, taking what the man said to heart.
Shen Mushi paused, as if he remembered something again, and continued to nag in his mouth:
"I have instructed Imperial Physician Zhou to take your pulse every day, and he will come to the door from tomorrow. The old lady doctor is a golden saint, especially in the area of conditioning women, the prescription he prescribes must be taken on time, and there is no one left. ”
Shen Mu Shizai carefully advised, he was afraid that he would be naughty and refused to drink the medicine, so he promised well in front of the person, and as soon as he turned his head, he secretly poured the medicine behind his back.
With such an eccentric princess, he is also worried enough.
In the past, I didn't want to have an heir and never cared about this, but since I made up my mind to give birth to a grandson, Shen Mu summoned a seventy-year-old doctor to the door when he had nothing to do, just hoping that they could get pregnant as soon as possible and consolidate their status.
I hope he will return to the palace smoothly, and he can hear the good news that the crown princess is pregnant.
As for Xiaoshuang, who hadn't been remembered for a long time, Shen Mushi didn't miss it this time, and he had already ordered someone to take care of it.
If she just stays in her yard and doesn't come out, it's best, if she dares to frame the crown princess again or collide with Shuangshuang, he will definitely kill her regardless of his old feelings.
"The medicine is bitter."
Shuangshuang frowned, and took the snow-white fox handed by Li Chuntang.
All the way to the cold and snowy, the white fox can not only keep warm but also hide the whereabouts, which is a must-have warm clothes.
It's just that as soon as this fox is on her body, it means that her husband is about to leave Beijing and go to the border thousands of miles away. Thousands of mountains and rivers, I can't see him for two months, he hasn't been separated, the lovesickness has risen, and the movements of Shuangshuang's hands are inevitably selfish, and they are deliberately slowed down a lot.
"I know, but you have to drink it, huh? Promise me? ”
Shen Mushi silently stared at the pair of clothes that tied him, feeling a little guilty in his heart.
Before, Imperial Doctor Zhou replied that there was nothing wrong with the princess's physique, but for some reason, her pulse was vague, her body temperature was low, and she was a little cold. I am afraid that I have been in a cold and wet place before and hurt my body, and I need careful conditioning to conceive.
When he thought of Imperial Doctor Zhou's words, Shen Mushi couldn't wait to slap himself twice.
Both of them stayed in a damp and cold place like the North Champs for four months, without a ground dragon and a warm niche, not even a thick quilt.
And the culprit of all this is himself.
blamed herself for being too cold and cold, why didn't you take her to Liuyun Hall earlier?
What is face? Now that she is sick, is it not God's punishment for him?
Shen Mushi never believed in retribution and ghosts, but now he believes, especially about Shuangshuang, he believes everything.
But what Shen Mushi didn't know was that there was another hidden secret in both bodies, and the reason for this was inseparable from Xiaoshuang.
These are all afterwords, and it can only be said that both of them are not pregnant, and the time, place, people, and everything are wrong, and they will hurt their bodies.
