Xiaotang took a deep breath and trembled to lift his filial piety hat.

Suddenly, a young eunuch ran over and said in a low voice, "Auntie, Your Majesty and the eldest princess of the country have quarreled.

If you drop something, no one can persuade you, do you want to go and see it? The eldest princess is old and can't help but be angry. ”

Xia Hua pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go now." ”

Zhong Weiwei was both worried and happy.

Fortunately, Xia Hua, who was most familiar with her, was leaving, and she was worried that Chonghua didn't know the severity and was angry with the eldest princess.

saw Xia Hua hurriedly push Xiaotang forward, grabbed her arm with her left hand, pulled her forward, and at the same time lifted her filial piety hat with her right hand.

The two pairs of eyes suddenly met, Zhong Weiwei looked at Xia Hua silently, and Xia Hua also looked at Zhong Weiwei silently.

Just when Zhong Weiwei was about to open her mouth to persuade Xia Hua, Xia Hua suddenly lowered her eyes, put on her filial piety hat again, and pushed her and Xiaotang forward.

said: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't be slow, don't you say that you are afraid of missing the auspicious time?" It's better to finish your work early than to get on your way early. ”

Zhong Weiwei and Xiaotang followed the crowd out of the encirclement, still feeling like they were dreaming.

She didn't expect Xia Hua to let her go like this, but while she was happy, she was inexplicably worried.

She always thought that Xia Hua was unconditionally loyal to Chonghua, but now it doesn't seem like that, will Xia Hua harm Chonghua?

Will it be contrary to the yang and the yin? How many of the people around Chonghua are credible and how many are not?

Zhong Weiwei knew that she was a little fragile with her mother-in-law, so she shook her head and walked forward unswervingly.

The Imperial Forest Army dispersed, the people of the Du family continued to walk forward, and the female dependents got into the carriage crying.

The young woman who pushed Zhong Weiwei before called Zhong Weiwei's master and servant into a car and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely send you to Changlian safely." ”

Zhong Weiwei thanked him and looked out of the car window with his head sideways.

She didn't know what she wanted to see.

It seems that he wants to find the senior brother and Zhong Hao and make sure that they are safe, and it seems that he hopes that Chonghua can suddenly appear, stop her, and say, don't go, let's die together.

But she only saw the ears of rice in the rice field rising and falling in the morning light, with the morning breeze.

I saw the princess in the distance shrouded in mist, and the white road winded forward, as if there was no end to it.

Xiaotang leaned over and pointed to her: "They are there." ”

He Lingyi and Zhong Hao walked in the crowd, one of them took a lock, blowing it decently, and their eyes were looking in her direction.

A little farther away, Xia Yi was pushing a small car, hehehe

Zhong Weiwei pursed her lips and smiled, took one last look at the direction where Chonghua was, and lowered the curtains.

She fell asleep, was woken up by Xiaotang in a daze, and followed the daughter of the Du family to the temple to rest her breath.

took off his filial piety clothes, took advantage of everyone's inattention, changed to a donkey cart, mixed into a team of merchants, and continued to march towards Changlian.

The leader of the caravan was still the one who protected the eldest princess, and skillfully led them through the checkpoint and into Changlian City.

Changlian is an important city, with 100,000 elite soldiers stationed, including water divisions and infantry.

Outside the city is the Dayan River ferry, from which grain, salt and other materials are continuously transported to the capital, and then tea, silk and other goods are transported to the north.

According to the arrangement of the eldest princess of the protectorate, Zhong Weiwei and the others were supposed to change ships here, and then go down the river to wherever they wanted.

But they walk too slowly, and just because they pass the level doesn't mean they can escape.

Before their arrival, Changlian had been placed under martial law, the Dayan River crossing was blocked, and all ships were allowed to enter and leave except for important supplies with the approval of the imperial court.

He Lingyi excused himself to go by land, and left the caravan with Zhong Weiwei and others and lived in a private house.

In his words, after all, the people of the caravan are the people of the eldest princess who protects the country, and they may know something, and the more people who know them, the more risks they have.

After a long journey, Zhong Weiwei no longer has the energy to care about these things, what she often does is lie in bed and fall asleep for a long time.

I will only wake up when I drink medicine and eat, or when I am in a hurry.

Sometimes she dreams about things when she was a child, sometimes she dreams about things in the palace, and more often she dreams of Chonghua.

I dreamed that he was alone, sitting alone in the main hall of Zhaoren Palace, bowing his head and criticizing, and he would get distracted.

I dreamed that he was alone, at night, walking alone in the dark and secluded temple of pure heart.

Step by step, keep walking, stop after walking for a long time, and sit on the big bed in the Qingxin Hall until dawn.

I dreamed that he was sitting high above the court, indifferently staring at the noisy ministers below.

Obviously it was very lively, and there were people everywhere, but she felt that he was alone.

Every time he dreamed of Chonghua, Zhong Weiwei would wake up, and then feel an indescribable pain in his heart.

She will have insomnia, tired, sleepy and uncomfortable, but she will not be able to sleep, she will be very irritable.

In order not to let her mood affect others, she called Zhong Hao and listened to him recite the tea sutra and the art of the tea ceremony.

Tell him word by word what is written in the book.

He Lingyi always sat silently on the side, smiling, and listening to the two of them.

Occasionally, a bowl of hot soup is handed over, all of which are light and refreshing, and the temperature is neither lukewarm nor hot, just right.

After Zhong Weiwei drank these soups, she always felt much more comfortable, and she didn't know the specific reason.

After thinking about it, I can only think that the medicine prescribed by the eldest princess is not bad.

He Lingyi strictly supervised her work and rest, as long as she talked to Zhong Hao for half an hour, he would intervene, let Zhong Hao leave, and tell her to rest.

Zhong Weiwei originally wanted to say that he was not sleepy at all, but his eyelids sank uncontrollably, and after just a while, he leaned on the pillow and slept dimly.

Xiaotang and Zhong Yuan were very worried, He Lingyi carefully put away the bowl and said calmly: "It's nothing, there is a calming medicine in the soup, she needs to recuperate, otherwise she may die in the middle of the road." ”

Xiaotang wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to cry in the house, so he could only go to wash the dishes and hide in the kitchen to cry.

Zhong Hao was also sad, but he knew that crying would not solve the problem.

He began to discuss with He Lingyi how to leave Changlian: "You can't live in Changlian all the time, it's too close to the capital, maybe I'll chase after you at some point." ”

He Lingyi looked at the autumn sun outside the window and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, we can leave in a few days." The blockade of Changlian and Dayan River crossings is only temporary, and within three days, it will definitely be lifted, otherwise the people's resentment will boil, and the ministers will not spare him. ”

Chonghua has supreme imperial power, but he has enough patience and freedom, as well as time. (To be continued.) )
