Chapter 284: Falling from the Cliff (2)
"Gone?" Shen Wan asked rhetorically, "What does it mean to be gone?" ”
Xi Chao sighed and said: "When the imperial tent moved into Youzhou, I found that the VIP was gone. ”
Shen Wan frowned, what's going on? Although Xichen said that he would send Ruo Gui Concubine away, will it be this time? What's more, the road is closed by heavy snow, and if you want to go, I'm afraid you won't be able to go. Could it be that you are trapped by the heavy snow?
Xi Chao complained lightly: "The fourth brother taking a woman to the battlefield has always been something we can't understand, no matter how much he loves Ruogui's concubine...... This is a noble concubine, and she is too ignorant. ”
Shen Wan said softly: "Perhaps, she just wants to be with the emperor." ”
Xichao glanced at her and asked, "Ah Wan, when the fourth brother snubbed you and spoiled her, were you very angry?" ”
Shen Wan said lightly: "No, even if there is no her, there will be other women." I've seen this for a long time, so, there's nothing to be angry about, is there? ”
Xichao looked at her strangely, then lowered his head and muttered, "Then, just let her never come back." ”
Shen Wan didn't say anything, and secretly thought in her heart: Maybe, she really won't be able to come back.
However, if the noble concubine disappears and the road is closed by heavy snow, will it make the foreign court so commotion? Shen Wan's vigilance told her that this matter was still suspicious, but if she kept asking Xi Chao, he would definitely not tell herself. After sending Xichao away, Shen Wan asked Cui Shanggong to find Prime Minister Zhou to know the truth of the incident.
Then the truth of the incident surprised Shen Wan! Xi Chao concealed such important information, the first is that the general of the Western Kingdom Qianye has been killed in battle, Ye Cangqiong is also preparing to drive the expedition in person, and the general has been replaced by Shen Lan. The second is that if the noble concubine did not disappear, but was trapped outside Youzhou City with Chu Xichen, the army was sending people to search everywhere!
Very few people know about this, except for Sanzai and Xichao, almost no one knows, because once the news is revealed, I am afraid that it will cause a disturbance in the army!
The blood in Shen Wan's whole body was boiling, and she didn't care about the image of the case, and said angrily: "Zhong Ruman, you bastard!" "If you had known, you shouldn't have let her follow, if you had known, you should have ignored any rumors and rumors! It's like this, and the safety of the country is tied to this woman! If it weren't for her, how could Chu Xichen break away from the army! It's so confusing!
With her hands clenched into fists, she paced back and forth in the hall, and Cui Shanggong and the others looked at her anxiously. In fact, now Cui Shanggong has a very ambitious method in his heart, the front line of the three armies or something, don't worry about it! Immediately leaked the news of Xichen's absence in the army to the Western Kingdom, causing chaos at the border, and then announced that the three princes would succeed to the throne, so that even if Xichen came back in the future, the position of the three princes would be a sure fact!
An emperor who is bewitched by beauty will not be respected when he comes back!
"Niangniang......" Cui Shanggong opened his mouth, wanting to say what he thought.
"Teacher, I'm going out of the palace!" But before this idea could be spoken, it was interrupted by Shen Wansheng, and then said such a sentence.
Cui Shanggong was startled, looked at her puzzled and asked, "What did Niangniang say?" ”
Shen Wan said: "I want to leave the palace, I want to go to the west!" I'm going to find out what to do! I'm going to chop Zhong Ruman with my own hands! ”
Cui Shanggong took a deep breath and said: "Niangniang, think twice, this is not a joke, in fact, we have a better way......
Shen Wan said angrily: "I'm not acting rashly! There's no better way, I know what the teacher is thinking! But no! Until I return to the palace, the teacher had better be restless! She inhaled slowly, and then said, "Don't say that now is not the time to do it, even if you do do it, you may not succeed!" Chu Xichen, he's not dead yet! ”
Cui Shanggong lowered his head and stopped talking, but Shen Wan was ready to act, brought her own crossbow arrows and Wang Fengjian, changed into civilian clothes, arranged for Qingyue to take care of Zhao'er, and announced to the public that the queen would retreat to pray for the blessings of the army, and she would not see anyone for a month. Let Cui Shanggong guard the door, and then take the quasi-slip issued by himself and leave the palace.
She didn't tell Xi Chao about this, because she knew that once she did, Xi Chao would never agree. So she hired a non-slip light carriage herself, pulled by two horses, and quickly left the capital and headed west.
She didn't think about anything, the most important thing for her now was to find Chu Xichen. So, there was no delay along the way, although it was very difficult to walk due to heavy snow, and when I arrived in Youzhou, it was already a month later.
All the way to Liangzhou, Bianzhou has just been baptized by war, and there are remnants of soldiers and displaced people everywhere. On the way, the carriage was also robbed by bandits, she didn't dare to fight, so she could only ride a horse, and it was easy to get to Youzhou, but she couldn't get in.
She hid on the side of the road until she saw Lao Shi come out with the team, she stepped forward, Lao Shi recognized her, was surprised, walked up to her and lowered his voice and asked, "Why are you here!" "It's not like asking, it's like blaming.
Shen Wan didn't care about anything else, she had suffered a lot along the way, and she was already exhausted, but she still insisted on asking, "What about him?" Did you find it? ”
Lao Shi nodded and said, "I found it, I'm resting in the house, I'll send you over first." ”
Shen Wan followed him back, and still asked him why Xichen disappeared with Ruo Guifei. Lao Shi frowned and said, "I don't know, I just know that if the concubine ran out first, the fourth brother went to chase after him, and then he was trapped." Thankfully, we found them in time, otherwise...... The fourth brother is too child's play. ”
Shen Wan suppressed her anger, and when she arrived at the mansion, Wei Zifeng recognized her and was also taken aback, so Lao Shi handed Shen Wan over to Wei Zifeng. Shen Wan asked coldly, "What about others?" ”
Wei Zifeng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led her to the outside of Xichen's room, Shen Wan walked in gently, and saw a woman sitting in front of the bed, who was carefully feeding Chu Xichen medicine. Shen Wan frowned, that woman was Ruo Guifei, she was a weak woman who woke up, why was Chu Xichen still lying down? Then Shen Wan thought that maybe Chu Xichen gave her all his protection!
The anger in her heart could no longer be suppressed, and when she walked behind Ruo Gui Concubine, Xi Chen looked at her in surprise, and if she looked back at Xi Chen's gaze, she was also frightened and stood up: "Queen...... The Queen's ......"
Shen Wan said in a low voice, "Give me the medicine." ”
Ruo Guifei mechanically reached out to give her the medicine, Shen Wan took it with her left hand, put it aside, and when she turned around, her right hand condensed the strength of her whole body and slapped Ruo Guifei's face hard.
If the concubine was knocked to the ground and couldn't get up for a while, Xichen still looked at her in surprise and didn't say anything.
Shen Wan sneered: "Is the emperor distressed? It's just a slap in the face, I don't know if this palace orders the execution of this slut who disturbs the morale of the army, what does the emperor think? ”
