Chapter 132: Rubbing shoulders
On this day, Hua Mian was woken up by Pei Gongcuo early in the morning: "I will take you to a place." β
"Where?" Hua Mian said sleepily.
"You'll find out when you go."
"Don't you have to go to court?"
"I'll give it to the seventh brother."
Seeing him so excited, although he was still tired, Hua Mian was not easy to spoil his interest, so he got up and simply cleaned up and went out of the palace with her. Outside the palace, there was already a carriage waiting outside.
After being carried into the car by Pei Gongcuo, Hua Mian found that not only did the car have everything for food, clothing, and clothing, but also prepared a quilt and fur coat that were only needed in the northern winter, as well as an unlit brazier.
Hua Mian said in surprise: "Are you going to take me to the north for the winter?" β
Pei Gongcuo smiled silently.
Due to sleepiness, as soon as the carriage got up, Hua Mian leaned on Pei Gongcuo and fell asleep.
Pei Gongcuo chuckled and shook his head, ordering Han Zheng to stabilize the car. Although it would be more comfortable to fall asleep softly, he felt that it would be more comfortable for him to let her sleep in his arms, so he kept the posture of hugging her in his arms until he was also tired, and then put her down on the soft collapse, and then fell asleep with her in his arms.
Soon after the carriage left the city gates, it passed by two fast horses on a small road in the suburbs. Immediately, the two of them were in a hurry, and they seemed to be in a hurry. Han Zheng and the other party glanced at each other, and without even seeing a shadow of their appearance, they had already gone far away from each other, and disappeared from each other's sight in an instant.
All the way to the Nanxiu Imperial Capital, Ji Yunye's heart almost jumped out of his chest. However, it was still early, and he waited until it was dark before putting Hua Luan into the palace.
When Dong Qi flew back to Shuihua Palace with Hualuan, Wantao was surprised, she quickly untied the bamboo tube on Hualuan's feet, took out the letterhead and spread it. When I read the contents of the letter, my face was full of disbelief.
The letter reads: Brother Ye has been waiting for you. Yunlai Inn.
If you've been waiting for the girl, why haven't you said it until now? Isn't it that Lan Xirui died, and he thought of her again after a while? At this moment, she really wanted to write a reply to make him die, but she felt that since he had traveled thousands of miles to see the girl, it would be cruel to send him back like this, so she decided to take the risk and leave the palace to meet him.
She took Hualuan into her arms, took Xiaobai with her, and left the Shuihua Palace on the grounds that she slipped Xiaobai after dinner.
When I arrived outside the royal study, I saw Pei Yingshi leaving after the review, and Xiao Yangzi was taking a pen and inkstone to clean outside the door. Wan Tao hurriedly hid behind a big tree, put Xiao Bai on the ground and kicked it gently, and Xiao Bai ran to Xiao Yangzi and barked happily.
Seeing that it was Xiaobai, Xiao Yangzi couldn't help but look around, and saw that no one was following, so he stepped forward and touched its head and said, "Why did you come here?" When the words fell, he couldn't help but be stunned, only to see that his snow-white hair was touched by himself, and it was stained with a lot of ink, so he said angrily, "Yes, I think you are just making trouble for me." You are obedient here, don't run around, I'll send you back to Shuihua Palace after giving you a bath. β
In just such a moment, Wan Tao had slipped into the hall, and when he got to the bookshelf, he found the mechanism that Hua Mian said and opened the door to the secret room. After dodging in, the stone door closed silently behind her.
After getting out of the long tunnel, to the foot of the mountain in the dense forest, Wan Tao asked Hualuan to lead the way in front, and soon found Ji Yunye's stay, Yunlai Inn.
Ji Yunye didn't live in the original courtyard this time, because Hua Mian was targeted by Pei Gongcuo's people when he had a private meeting with him last time, and Wan Tao had asked Dong Qi to inform Langye Pavilion, so he stayed in this inconspicuous inn under the name of Langye Pavilion.
When he saw that the person who came was Wantao instead of Hua Mian, the light in Ji Yunye's eyes instantly dimmed: "Why didn't she come to see me?" β
Wan Tao said sympathetically: "You didn't come by chance, she left Beijing with the emperor early in the morning, and she won't be able to come back for a while." β
"Leaving Beijing?" Ji Yun's ambition sank, "Where did you go?" β
"Yin Yang Mountain."
"Looking at the snow?"
"Yes."
ββ¦β¦ I didn't expect Pei Gongcuo to be so attentive to her. β
"She is the emperor's favorite woman, and the emperor is naturally interested in her. And as you should know, she's pregnant now. β
Ji Yunye's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and there were some unknown emotions surging in his eyes. Wan Tao knew that there was at least one emotion called "heartache".
"Why do you write such a letter when you already know?"
Ji Yunye tugged at the corner of his lips: "I think I need to let her know that I'm waiting for her." β
"And then?"
He let out a long breath: "Let her not change her mind." β
"What if you don't change your mind? Do you have a future with her? β
His eyes lit up and he said firmly, "Yes." β
Wan Tao sighed regretfully: "The girl seems to have fallen in love with the emperor." Since you still want to be with her, why did you let her come to Nanxiu and kiss in the first place? β
These words hit Ji Yunye's sore spot, and a mist suddenly appeared in his eyes, at this moment, the sense of crisis that he was about to lose Hua Mian made him no longer want to hide it, he took a deep breath, and when his emotions stabilized a little, he said: "Have you ever heard of the mirror of the world?" β
Seeing that Wan Tao shook his head blankly, he continued: "This is an artifact that can peek into the past and predict the future. On the eve of his father's birthday banquet, the national teacher opened this mirror at the cost of ten years of life, and learned that three years later, Dongli would be destroyed in the war, and Myanmar would also die, and only by sending her to Nanxiu's harem could she avoid this catastrophe. Once I do that, I'll be in power in three years. When that happens, she'll still be back with me. β
Wan Tao looked at him in shock, and said after a while: "Why didn't you tell the girl in the first place?" β
"Because I swore to my father that I would never tell anyone else about this matter except the next emperor." When the words fell, he laughed to himself, "Now, I have broken my promise." β
Wan Tao sighed and said, "You should have made it clear to her earlier, in fact, she also had the idea of being able to return to Dongli one day, but since she knew that Lan Xirui was pregnant with your child, she was completely dead." β
The words "completely dead", the words are heart-to-heart, to the point, Ji Yunye eagerly explained: "Lan Xirui is pregnant with Pei Qijun's child, and I have never touched her. β
Wan Tao's eyes widened in surprise: "How is this possible?" β
"If you don't believe her, ask her personally."
"What do you mean to ask her in person?" Wan Tao was even more surprised, "Isn't she dead?" β
"That's just a pretense to let her go, she is now with Pei Qijun, a family of three, happy."
"God, how can this be?" Wan Tao said angrily, "The girl thought that you had changed your mind, so she accepted the emperor." β
Ji Yunye mourned in his heart and blamed himself: "It's my fault." I was too confident in our relationship. β
"What's the use of saying that? Now that the girl has feelings for the emperor, and they have children, it is impossible for you to do so. β
"Is it possible, I'll hear her tell me personally."
ββ¦β¦ I'm afraid you'll have to wait another ten days or eight days. β
Ji Yunye said without thinking: "It's okay. β
Wan Tao was helpless: "Then please please, I have to go back, I'm afraid I'll show my stuffing later." β
Ji Yunye didn't keep her anymore, and only told her to be careful on the road.
Unfortunately, however, Wan Tao was spotted by an acquaintance when he came out of the inn. This person is none other than Hua Xun. On that day, he was dried by the flowers, and because the guy used too much force, he cracked somewhere, and he didn't dare to tell the truth when he went to the doctor, only saying that it was caused by too much force when he was constipated. It's not good yet, so I'm going to get some more medicine now. As a result, when I turned into a certain street, I looked up and saw a man coming out of an inn, looking around sneakily, and then suddenly running away.
Because of something on his mind, he didn't recognize who she was at a glance, and it wasn't until he saw her running up that he realized that the person was Wantao. So he hurriedly followed, and did not return to the pharmacy until he saw her enter the dense forest and burrow into the tunnel. On the way back after taking the medicine, he couldn't help but take a look at the inn, the faΓ§ade is not big or small, there is no gorgeous decoration, even the plaque is an ordinary pine wood that has not been painted, and there are a few big words "Yunlai Inn" written in ink on it.
Wan Tao came here, if he didn't see someone, he had a connection with this place. Thinking of this, he walked away quickly.
After Wan Tao returned to the imperial study, he climbed out of the top of the palace, and then quietly returned to Shuihua Palace. As soon as Fang entered the courtyard, a figure suddenly fell from the sky in front of her and landed a foot in front of her. She was startled, and when she saw that it was Hua Zhen, she said angrily: "You suddenly jumped out in the middle of the night and wanted to scare me to death?" β
Hua Zhen said without yin or yang: "Do you also know that it is the middle of the night? β
"I'm just saying that, isn't it just past the end of the day?"
"Where have you been?"
"It's a little white."
"Where's Xiaobai?"
Wan Tao was still a little arrogant, and when he heard him ask Xiaobai at this moment, he couldn't help but panic: "It won't come back yet, right?" β
Hua Zhen crossed his arms and looked at her and said, "Didn't you say that you went to Xiaobai, why don't you even know if it came back?" β
Seeing that he looked calm, thinking that Xiaobai had already returned, Wan Tao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to lie: "It suddenly ran away halfway, so I went everywhere to find it." As a result, I searched the entire palace and couldn't find it, so I came back to see if it had returned. As he spoke, he called into the hall, "Xiaobai, you come out for me!" β
As soon as the words fell, he saw a white shadow coming out of the hall, and Xiaobai ran to Wan Tao and barked happily.
Wan Tao bent over and hugged it into his arms, poked its head and said, "Next time, I'll run around and see how I clean you up!" β
Xiaobai whimpered, looked at her aggrievedly, and seemed to say, I obviously did what you instructed, why did I have to be trained in the end?
Hua Zhen said coldly: "Remember to be optimistic about Xiaobai next time, otherwise if something like a snowball happens again, the emperor will not spare the matter, and it will be a big deal if the Burmese concubine is sad and affects the fetus in the womb." β
Wan Tao said humbly: "I know, there will be no next time." The words fell and hugged Xiaobai and quickly got into his room.
Seeing someone flee faster than a rabbit, Hua Zhen couldn't help but mutter, "What the hell? β
