Chapter 602: Successfully Entering Beijing
At this time, Wei Guogong was disheveled, not only did he not wear the court clothes that entered the palace, but he was also covered in dirt and dust, and there were several holes in his robe. It can be seen that he has endured a lot of hardships in order to send the medicinal materials as soon as possible, and even fell a few times.
The Queen Mother looked at Li De puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "What did Wei Guogong say?" You delivered the medicine in time, and you have a meritorious service in saving Your Majesty, how can the mourning family want your life? ”
"The queen mother, the minister has no way to teach her son, and she also asks the queen mother to surrender." Wei Guogong trembled and knelt on the ground, and told the whole story of the matter. Of course, it is inevitable to say two good words for his youngest son Li Xuan, hoping that the queen mother can punish him lightly, so as to spare his life.
The more she listened, the more ugly the Queen Mother's face became, and she stared at Li De angrily: "Okay, you Wei Guogong, since you dare to commit murder, it can be seen that your little son must be a tyrannical lord on weekdays, I don't know how many ordinary people you have bullied, and it is also a scourge to keep it." ”
"The Queen Mother forgives her sins." Wei Guogong heard that the Empress Dowager wanted to condemn Li Xuan, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Li Xuan is an old son of a minister, and he is naturally pampered on weekdays, but he has never committed anything to commit adultery, and his crime is not to death." I hope that the Queen Mother will forgive her sins. ”
In order to save Li Xuan's life, Wei Guogong kowtowed desperately, and even his forehead was stained with blood, and his cloak seemed to be more than ten years old for a while.
The Queen Mother looked at his depressed appearance, remembered her feelings about almost losing her beloved son just now, and sighed with empathy: "That's it, I read that you have made meritorious contributions in delivering medicine to save the driver in time, and Li Xuan can be regarded as paying the price, so the merits and demerits will not be investigated." However, for Li Xuan, Wei Guogong has to discipline him more when he goes back, so don't let him go out and make trouble again. ”
"Thank you Empress Dowager Longen, the minister will definitely discipline the dog well when he goes back, and he will definitely live up to the Queen Mother's expectations." Wei Guogong received amnesty, and only then did he realize that he was already sweating through his back.
……
A few days later, Luo Qingluan finally waited for the secret guard sent by Lin Yixuan, the person named Jiutian, and when he showed her the words on the envelope, she recognized that it was a letter she had written to Lin Yixuan. Luo Qingluan was convinced that Jiutian was Lin Yixuan's henchman, and was ready to say goodbye to Liang Yuyan, and they would escort him all the way to Beijing.
"Let me accompany you into Beijing, they are all a few big men, how can it be convenient for us women to take care of." After getting along for a while, I feel more and more that the two have a lot in common, Liang Yuyan likes Luo Qingluan's temperament very much, and she is reluctant to give up.
Just seeing these people, Liang Yuyan didn't dare to believe them easily, so she let Luo Qingluan go with them alone. Follow by yourself, so you can still have a care together, in case they have bad intentions, how can she get out of a pregnant woman?
didn't want to continue to delay Liang Yuyan's business, Luo Qingluan refused without hesitation: "During this time, I have been disturbed a lot, and you still have a treasure embroidery room to take care of, how can you send me to the capital again?" ”
"What are you afraid of in business? I can never run out of money, and besides, I still have a shop in the capital. I haven't been there for a long time, so I took this opportunity to go over and have a look. Liang Yuyan said proudly.
If you want to talk about doing business, that is Liang Yuyan's strength, in the entire Dark Night Hall, the profit of her Zhenxiu Room is among the top ten. His monthly income is enough for the profit of other transactions in the Dark Night Hall for most of the year.
couldn't resist Liang Yuyan's insistence, Luo Qingluan had to agree to go to Beijing with her.
In order to make the trip smoother, the witty Liang Yuyan also found a maid who was good at disguise and asked her to accompany her, and instead of dressing herself up as a son, she and Luo Qingluan pretended to be a couple.
Luo Qingluan appreciated Liang Yuyan's ghost idea very much and felt that it was a good idea.
When I saw Liang Yuyan in disguise, with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a scarf gown, she looked like a handsome scholar, but how did you look at it and feel very happy?
"Yuyan? Is this still you? Isn't it true that you've always been a man and a woman before? After speaking, Luo Qingluan began to giggle and laugh non-stop.
Liang Yuyan glared at the little maid next to her in annoyance, ripped off her headscarf, and pretended to say, "Look at you, what kind of makeup did you put on me?" It's useless to be a scholar, you hurry up and change it for me! ”
Stopping laughing, Luo Qingluan stopped the little maid who was about to disguise Liang Yuyan from scratch, and persuaded Liang Yuyan: "With your figure and your delicate skin, if she turns you into a rough man with five big and three thick, then it will be called terrifying." I think that's good, so let's leave it at that. ”
Touching her face, Liang Yuyan felt that Luo Qingluan was right. However, based on the fact that she had just laughed at herself, she couldn't help but avenge herself.
"Since the lady likes it, then it's up to you." As he spoke, he didn't forget to raise his eyebrows at Luo Qingluan, with a wicked smile on his face, and he didn't know which family he thought it was.
In order to avoid Lin Chuan's pursuit, the group chose to take the waterway with few checkpoints and lead directly to the capital.
Han Xun, who was ruthlessly placed by Luo Qingluan, tried his best to find Luo Qingluan's whereabouts in Daliang County, but the search was fruitless. He also asked Lin Chuan to set up checkpoints around the girder to strictly check the pot-bellied people and carriages that passed.
Four or five days have passed, and there is still no news of her, and Han Xun is angry and hateful. Thinking that the only person who could ask Luo Qingluan for help in the Southern Wei Dynasty was Lin Yixuan, the prince of the Southern Wei Dynasty, he listened to Lin Chuan's words and decided to go to the capital to meet Lin Xiaochen first, and then make plans.
Luo Qingluan and his entourage, unimpeded along the way, did not forget to catch some fish and fight tooth sacrifices when they were free. What kind of steaming, braised charcoal grilling, Liang Yuyan is handy, and everyone knows that she still has such good cooking skills. They joked that she didn't go to be a cook, which was a pity that she had the ability to cook.
For everyone's praise, Liang Yuyan accepted all the orders and happily cooked for everyone for two days.
At dusk on the second day, I finally saw the wharf, and when the group got off the boat, Jiutian said directly: "There are many people in the capital, let's go back to the prince's mansion tonight while it is dark, so as not to stay out for too long, and have many dreams at night." ”
Nodding, Luo Qingluan looked at Liang Yuyan again, Liang Yuyan thought for a while and said softly: "I'd better send you to the prince's mansion and then go to the store, otherwise I won't be at ease." ”
The group walked in the direction of the prince's mansion, but saw many palace guards along the way, searching for thieves and gangsters on the street.
"The second prince is really sympathetic to the people's feelings, he has arrested so many ruffians and hooligans to eliminate harm for the people." The uncle who sells vegetables has been brutalized by the gangsters, and he was charged what stall protection money, and said excitedly when he saw this.
The little brother who was selling fruit on the side gritted his teeth and echoed: "Isn't it, do you remember the year before last when the daughter of Qiu Daming's family in the east of the city was defiled by a scoundrel named Liu San?" It's a pity that the woman couldn't get angry and committed suicide by throwing herself into the river. That bastard has been at large all along, and it's really nice to hear that he was caught this time! ”
"If you catch it well, this kind of person should be locked up, and he should never be released to harm people again." The vendors next to him responded angrily.
Although there were praises everywhere, Jiutian heard something unusual.
He frowned suspiciously, and muttered: "The second prince has always cared about these trivial matters, why is there still a big fanfare this time, and the whole city has been searched?" When I left Beijing, I didn't hear that His Majesty had any important sacrifices to preside, and I was afraid that there was some conspiracy in it. ”
"It is estimated that Han Xun has already arrived in the capital, and your second prince must ensure his safety, so he has to go to such great lengths. can also take the opportunity to search my whereabouts, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone, the second prince is really painstaking! Luo Qingluan said indifferently, as if it was none of his business.
Hearing Luo Qingluan say this, Jiutian felt that it was very likely that this would be the case. At the beginning, when the prince asked himself to obey a woman's orders, although he didn't express it on his face, he was actually quite unconvinced in his heart. He always feels that women don't have any scheming, and they always only look at their mood. Now it seems that this woman does still have a bit of a city.
After the guards left, they led everyone into the prince's mansion through the side door on the ninth day, and the group went directly to the prince's study.
After the dark guard informed him that Jiutian and his party had arrived and were waiting for him in the study, Lin Yixuan immediately put down the things in his hand and ran to the study.
Pushing open the door, he saw Luo Qingluan standing there with a big belly at first sight, and Lin Yixuan lost his mind for a moment when he saw this. Unexpectedly, she is now pregnant with a child, looking at the bulge of her belly, how can it be five or six months.
Coming back to her senses, Lin Yixuan hurriedly walked over and wanted to help her sit down. As soon as his hand was stretched out, he felt that it was wrong, and the man and woman could not kiss him, so he withdrew his hand embarrassedly and said softly: "Your body is so heavy, and you don't know how to sit down." ”
Only then did Luo Qingluan see that Lin Yixuan was much thinner than before in Xichu, and he looked a little tired. It seems that he hasn't bothered much about it recently because of his own affairs.
"In recent days, thanks to the prince who sent someone to help me, I was able to get out, thank you for your hard work." Luo Qingluan was very grateful to him for helping and expressed his gratitude to him from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing this, Lin Yixuan's face changed slightly, and he suddenly felt a little lost in his heart. After all, it was not the person she wanted to rely on, so she was naturally more polite.
"Between us, you don't need to be so polite, as long as you are in need, I will definitely help." didn't want her to feel restrained, Lin Yixuan didn't show too much concern.
Luo Qingluan still had some understanding of Lin Yixuan's character, and he didn't beat around the bush with him anymore, and said bluntly: "Your Highness only needs to send someone to help me return to Western Chu, and I have my own arrangements for the rest when I enter the territory of Western Chu." ”
"Don't worry, I'll definitely help you. It's just that you are now pregnant with Liujia, and the king of Chu is still in Beiyue and has never returned, in case there is a mistake along the way, how can it be good? Lin Yixuan didn't expect her to rush back to Xichu as soon as she came, and she was very helpless.
Afraid of making her think too much, he comforted: "You live in my prince's mansion with peace of mind, I will repair the book and inform the king of Chu that you are here, and when he is over the war, I will come and pick you up in person and go back to Western Chu together?" ”
