Su Yan felt a little cold, and somehow, he walked into a dilapidated courtyard alone......

In the courtyard of the autumn breeze, the fallen leaves are covered with a thick layer, and there is a rustle on it.

A gust of wind blew and the fallen leaves flew, making the yard even more deserted.

In the corner was a pale woman curled up, with unkempt hair, a filthy countenance, and long, thin, withered fingers...... The leaves were on her unkempt hair, but she held a little boy motionlessly, as if she didn't care about her own image at all.

The woman's gaze was unfocused. There are two obvious tear stains on the face.

And the little boy in her arms looked like his eyes bulged because of his thinness, he looked like a withered tree, but he stared at Su Yan deadly: "Brother Emperor, save me, save me......"

Su Yan was a little stunned: This kid's thin appearance is too scary! But he doesn't look like Guo'er, but why is he called the emperor's brother?

How cute the fruit looks, with a pink round face, black and white and smart big eyes, and a smile like a New Year's doll...... How could this dirty, skinny little boy be a fruit?

Su Yan was puzzled, and the little boy suddenly stretched out his little hand like a dead branch and grabbed Su Yan's sleeve.

As the little boy cried, Su Yan saw that the hand that grabbed him was gradually festering the flesh and skin, and even exposed the white bones......

"Fruit!"

Su Yan screamed and woke up from his dream.

Concubine Li Niangniang held a cloak in her hand and looked at him with a wrong face: "Your Majesty, is it the concubine who disturbs your dreams?" I'm sorry, the concubine just wanted to put a cloak on you. The autumn night was cool. ”

Su Yan rubbed his tired eyes, looked at Concubine Li in front of him, waved his hand impatiently, but shouted at the door: "Gonggong Li, what's the matter with you?" ”

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that this time you are ...... Weifu paid a private visit, and did not bring Father-in-law Li...... "Although she knew that the emperor was already angry, Concubine Li's mother's family still answered cautiously.

said that the emperor was paying a private visit to Weifu, but in fact, Concubine Li's heart was already dripping blood. When she was not married to the emperor, she heard that the emperor and Shan Yuyu were not clear before. Now the emperor chased Shan Yuyu all the way to Hanhe County, and even couldn't sleep for her food. If this continues, the emperor is afraid that he will be seduced by that widow......

Su Yan seemed to react slowly, and asked sullenly with a displeased face, "What about Park Jianfeng?" Where did the death go? ”

"It's the concubine who hasn't seen the emperor for a few days, and she is very worried about it, so she sneaks out of the palace to visit the emperor. Just now, the concubine also slipped in while General Park was not paying attention, and I hope that the emperor will forgive him! Don't blame Gonggong Li, and don't blame General Park. Concubine Li hurriedly took the initiative to ask for guilt.

Su Yan waved his hand: "You go out!" ”

Concubine Li went out, Su Yan remembered the dream just now, and called Pu Jianfeng again: "It seems that you really don't plan to have a head!" Empress Dowager Shan, they have no news yet? ”

"The minister heard that someone near the Broken Nian Bridge saw a mother and son throw themselves into the river and commit suicide. According to eyewitness descriptions, their physical features resemble those of Empress Dowager Shan and Prince Guo......"

Throw into the river......

Su Yan's anger was instantly ignited: "Is this woman sick in the brain?" Waiting for delicious food and drink in the palace, she is going out to throw herself into the river! If she wants to die, she will die, and she will even bring the fruit! ”

Pu Jianfeng knew that although the emperor was angry, it was absolutely impossible to ignore the mother and son of the Empress Dowager Shan: "Your Majesty, I will go to prepare the carriage, and we will rush to Hanhe County overnight." ”

You're going to call the shots for me?

Su Yan was angry: "Did I say I was going to the Han River?" What does that woman have to do with me, and why should I collect her body? ”

Park Jianfeng silently went out to prepare the carriage, and he was very sure that Su Yan would change his mind after a while.

After he came back, sure enough, Su Yan found him with a serious face: "Prepare the carriage, I want to go to Hanhe County." ”

Park Jianfeng smiled triumphantly: "The carriage is already waiting at the door, Your Majesty, let's set off." ”

Su Yan was stunned for a moment: "You kid has already calculated me?" ”

"The criminal minister didn't dare to speculate on the holy will, but I heard that the Hanhe County Ling family had committed suicide in fear of crime, even if the emperor didn't go, I would also go and see." Park Jianfeng hurriedly explained.

"Suicide in fear of sin? That Ma Xianling's daughter is indeed a little arrogant, but she is not guilty of death, I was just talking angry at the time, and they took it seriously......"

Su Yan was not a person who killed innocents indiscriminately, Ma Xianling's family was scared to death by him, and he blamed himself very much.

Park Jianfeng comforted the emperor: "How can you blame the emperor?" Ma County has been an improper official and a lax family education over the years. His daughter was notoriously coquettish. But it seems that Ma Xiaobao is not dead. Their family committed suicide by taking poison, Ma Xiaobao still had one breath left, and was rescued, and now people don't know where to flee. ”

"That's good, don't pursue this matter anymore." Su Yan thought for a while and added: "Don't ask about Ma Xiaobao's whereabouts, after this incident, I hope she will know how to restrain in the future." ”

Park Jianfeng and Su Yan's carriage was a super shortcut from the lower reaches of the Han River to Han River County. In the afternoon, they rested by the river, and Pu Jianfeng took out the map and looked at it: "Your Majesty, go up this river, and if you go another twenty miles, you will be the Broken Nian Bridge." ”

"Broken thoughts......" Su Yan said, and a melancholy color appeared in his eyes.

Pu Jianfeng knew what he was thinking: "Don't worry, the emperor, Empress Dowager Shan and the little prince are in heaven, they must be fine." ”

Su Yan looked at the river and saw a large painting boat slowly floating on the Han River.

At the bow of the boat stood a man dressed in white.

The breeze gently blew the long hair of the boy, although he only saw the back, he already felt that he should be a suave character. Su Yan paid attention to that person, in addition to thinking that he was very temperamental, but also envious that this ordinary person could go boating on the river and slowly drift downstream with the painting boat. This is definitely a person who doesn't need to rush to the road, and life can be so comfortable that Su Yan sighs to himself.

"Park Jianfeng, how long will it take for us to get to the vicinity of the Broken Nian Bridge?"

"It's going to take about half a day! The road conditions along the river were not good, and the carriage did not dare to travel too fast. ”

Su Yan looked upstream of the river: "Don't rest, keep going." ”

At this time, in the painting boat on the river, Su Yan was sitting in a hurry to find someone.

It may not be that there is no fate, but it is not at the time when we should meet.

Because she had to treat Shan Muxi's mother and son, she sometimes needed to go ashore to buy medicine, and Liu Qianling's boat basically just drifted naturally along the river. It's been a few days, and they're only twenty or thirty miles away from the Broken Nian Bridge.

However, it was precisely because they were drifting on the river that the officers and soldiers of Hanhe County did not find them.

Those people have searched all the corners and corners of the jurisdiction of Hanhe County, but they have never found the mother and son who were with Ma Xiaobaogang at the beginning.

Realizing that the deadline was approaching, Ma Xianling took his wife and daughter to commit suicide by taking poison.

Of course, it is impossible for Shan Muxi to know these things, at this time she was sleeping on the bed leisurely, and she was worried about Liu Zhiguo all the time.

Shan Muxi likes children, and he has long treated Liu Zhiguo as his own.

Su Yan's carriage walked for a while, and he lifted the curtain and looked back at the painting boat on the river.

"Park Jianfeng, who do you say the boy standing at the bow of the boat will be? How do I think I have seen that figure somewhere? Su Yan looked puzzled.

But Park Jianfeng couldn't answer this.

Just looking at a back, if it is not a familiar person, who can know who he is?
