Chapter 154: Departure
Xiao Chen's face sank, he hadn't won against Chu Nian, and even in the future, he would most likely not be able to win against her......
Chu Nian is warning that if she does anything more, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as being locked up here.
She still had to swallow her anger......
Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, turned his back to Chu Nian, and slowly put down the comb that he had originally used to comb his hair.
"What the county lord said is that she used to be a courtier, and she will not be in the future."
Chu Nian looked at Xiao Chen's back intently, got up, and hooked his red lips slightly: "It's good that Madame understands, Madame remembers, you still have two sisters to take care of, but you have to take care of your body." ”
As she spoke, she stopped looking at Xiao Chen's back and paced towards the door, and after a while, the footsteps were far away, and the room fell silent again.
The only flickering candle flickered tenaciously for a moment with a faint gust of wind, and was completely extinguished.
The sound of Xiao Chen's teeth grinding was particularly abrupt in the darkness, and after a while, in the darkness, a pitch-black silhouette suddenly landed, and as soon as he landed, he stepped forward and hugged Xiao Chen's body into his arms.
"But just a few words will scare you?"
Xiao Chen didn't look back, and simply leaned into the man's arms: "Didn't you just say that Chu Nian won't be able to make waves tomorrow?" ”
"When did I lie to you?"
Xiao Chen softened and didn't speak, and slapped away a restless hand: "She still threatens me with my daughter's marriage." ”
There was silence in the darkness for a while, and the man simply picked up Xiao Chen's horizontally, Xiao Chen's exclaimed, and then heard his voice say in a low voice: "Believe me, after tomorrow, she won't be able to make waves in the capital, and when the time comes, this huge Chu family will be you and me." ”
Xiao Chen was paralyzed and gasped low in his arms, his face was no longer the guilt he had at the beginning, only his face was full of joy: "Okay, I believe in you." ”
……
The news of the main marriage of Wushuang County has not yet been spread, and in the early morning, the group is ready to go.
Next to the carriage was Liu Qi personally led a team of elite Imperial Forest Army, and the Queen Mother also specially sent a very important guard, followed by Mei Xiang and Zhu's mother - at this moment, their faces were wrinkled, obviously extremely reluctant.
The people in the carriage didn't seem to be pretending to be in their hearts, and between the bumps in the carriage, the people had already fallen asleep with half-squinted eyes.
There were two figures in the forest on the side of the road, one plain white and the other jet black, and the man dressed in plain white had a pair of peach blossoms with a bit of a smile in his eyes: "Your Highness, are you not busy?" ”
Ming Xiu glanced at Tao Jinyan sideways, ignored it, and waited for the carriage to gradually move away, so he stepped on the branches and followed.
"Tsk!" Tao looked at the inverted back with hatred, but he also hurriedly followed, while saying, "It's just a royal child!" What is there to be proud of! ”
Ning An is not far away, but he can't stand the Queen Mother's hard stuffing to Chu Nian, and the group walked for a whole day, and they only walked half of the way, during which Liu Qi kept tilting his head, and he didn't even dare to look at the direction of the carriage, until he came to a small town, he asked someone to listen to the carriage and bolt the horse, walked to the carriage, and whispered: "County Lord, everyone is tired, do we want to rest here?" ”
There was no movement in the carriage, and after a while, Liu Qi lifted the curtain corner of the carriage, only to see a plain hand waving lightly, obviously asking Liu Qi to make his own decisions.
Seeing this, Liu Qi hurriedly lowered the curtain and instructed the Imperial Forest Army next to him: "The Royal Forest Army is stationed at the entrance of the town. ”
Zhu's mother and Mei Xiang got into the carriage from the side, and they had already stretched out a plain white jade hand from the curtain, and a handsome guard on the side kept staring at this side, until they saw a woman dressed in plain white, with a body like a willow and a face like a peach blossom out of the carriage.
His eyes lit up, but he coughed lightly and said, "County Lord, getting married is a happy event, why do you have to wear plain white?" How unlucky. ”
Chu Nian didn't look at him, but turned to look sideways at Liu Qi: "Who is this?" ”
Liu Qi looked a little embarrassed, he tried his best to keep his head from facing those indifferent eyes, "County Lord, this is the first-class guard sent by the Queen Mother to escort you." ”
Chu Nian turned his eyes to look at the man, and saw that the man had a fair face, thick eyebrows, long and narrow eyes glowing with a little essence, a high nose bridge, thin lips, a little stubble on the chin, and a guard dress, but now Liu Qi was bent over, but his back was straight.
Seeing Chu Nian looking at himself, he hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and his back became more and more straight, as if he was at the mercy of Chu Nian.
At this moment, Chu Nian had already guessed his identity, and said with a meaningful smile: "Where did I come from, the guard shelf is so big, it turned out to be the Queen Mother's person?" ”
The man's face sank, and he didn't speak, so he heard Chu Nian continue: "What's your name?" ”
Although Liu Qi didn't know the inside story, he also knew that this person was deeply in the mind of the Queen Mother, so he saw Chu Nian looking at it so unscrupulously, and pinched a sweat for Chu Nian.
The man looked at Chu Nian with gloomy eyes and said, "Back to the county lord, his subordinate is surnamed Yan Wuqing." ”
Chu Nian smiled, "Good name, Mei Xiang, give Lord Yan a reward." ”
Mei Xiang took out a tael of silver from her arms, stuffed the silver into Yan Wuqing's hand as if she was an ordinary rewarder, and said earnestly without fear of a big matter: "Lord Yan, this is the reward of the county lord, take it well, protect our county lord to go to Ning'an, and the reward will be even more." ”
The people present could see that Yan Wuqing's face was distorted when he was carrying the one or two pieces of silver, but the master and servant couldn't see it, and after a few words with Liu Qi, they entered the inn, Liu Qi glanced at Chu Nian's back with mixed tastes, and at the end, he glanced at Yan Wuqing with a little pity, and hurriedly caught up with Chu Nian.
Originally, Yan Wuqing was arrogant all the way to relying on himself as the queen mother, and he didn't even put Liu Qi in his eyes, although the royal forest army didn't look down on the leader of this nest, but they also looked down on Yan Wuqing in their hearts.
Just now, this Yan Wuqing was in charge of the head of the Wushuang County Lord again, and what did he say that it was not suitable to wear plain white on the day of great joy? The county lord is not that immortal all the time, not to mention, now that the county lord has not arrived in Ning'an, even if he does, he is a little guard, what can he do with the county lord?
However, the county lord is the county lord, and the reward given to the "subordinate" is given away casually for one or two pieces of silver, which is very happy!
The Imperial Forest Army glanced at Yan Wuqing gloatingly, then left the place with a high song, and headed towards the entrance of the town, among which the low discussion was endless, and Yan Wuqing, who stayed in place, was even more pale.
Since he became the queen mother, when has he been so bullied? What a Chu Nian! He really underestimated her!
Hmph, but after getting married in the future, do you still think you can jump for a few days?
Thinking of this, Yan Wuqing's mood seemed to be better again, and he casually threw the silver tael into the stable on his side, then clapped his hands indiscriminately, and walked towards the inn with his head held high.
At this moment, Chu Nian was sitting at the counter drinking tea lightly, Liu Qi was paying the money, he booked three rooms, one was Chu Nian's, one was his own, and one was for Zhu's mother and Mei Xiang.
After a while, the check-in procedures have been completed, Liu Qi followed Xiao Er to the first upstairs, Chu Nian's master and servant also followed, Yan Wuqing's face sank, and he naturally followed up, until a few people followed Xiao Er to the door of the three adjacent rooms, Liu Qi and Chu Nian each went to their own rooms, Zhu's mother and Mei Xiang also went to the other room, Yan Wuqing suddenly looked stunned.
"Stop, how can two servants be qualified to live in one room? Go and serve the county lord! ”
Mother Zhu and Mei Xiang suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Yan Wuqing strangely, Chu Nian and Liu Qi's hands also stopped, and they all looked sideways at Yan Wuqing.
Seeing so many pairs of eyes staring at him, Yan Wuqing's face became more and more unpleasant: "What are you looking at, didn't you hear what I said?" ”
Mei Xiang opened her mouth, and Mother Zhu hurriedly stopped her and shook her head.
Chu Nian turned around and looked at Yan Wuqing with a cold gaze, "Yan Servant, if I'm not mistaken, these two people are the servants of the county lord, right?" ”
Being stared at like this, Yan Wuqing unexpectedly noticed his inexplicable palpitations, he frowned and said, "The county lord said that I was joking, I was just teaching two servants for the county supervisor." ”
Mei Xiang couldn't bear it anymore, this person repeatedly relied on the fact that she was the person next to the Queen Mother and called for their lady, she couldn't see it for a long time.
"Bold! How dare a mere guard yell at my lady? ”
Yan Wuqing glared at Mei Xiang angrily: "You are just a maid, and you dare to yell at me, do you know the Queen Mother'......?"
"Yan Shi." Chu Nian interrupted Yan Wuqing's words, looked at the fist that was about to fall on Mei Xiang's body, and his eyes were slightly condensed: "I said it, my servants don't need you to point fingers, if you continue to be so obsessed, be careful that I go back and tell the Queen Mother to punish you." ”
"You ......"
Chu Nian smiled playfully and said, "Or tell the emperor?" Let's see if the Queen Mother values reputation more, or does she value it more...... You? ”
Yan Wuqing's face turned pale, and at this point, Chu Nian turned around and said: "I'm tired and have to rest, Mother Zhu and Mei Xiang also rested earlier, as for Yan Shi, didn't you hear General Liu say that the Imperial Forest Army went to guard the entrance of the town?" ”
After that, Chu Nian entered the house without looking back, and when Zhu's mother wanted to speak and stopped, Mei Xiang made a grimace at Yan Wuqing, and pulled Zhu's mother back to the room.
Liu Qi glanced at Yan Wuqing, shook his head helplessly, and turned around and entered the house.
Yan Wuqing stood in place, his face was blue and red. What Chu Nian said just now was too threatening, she must have known something, if she really stabbed her knowledge to the court, even if the Queen Mother wanted to protect him, she was powerless.
Yin chaos harem, that is a big crime, not to mention, he is not with others, it is the queen mother!
Although it is a shame for Yan Wuqing to mention this matter, but in the end, it is because of the queen mother's ascension, and as for the reputation of the queen mother, he still has to be a little jealous.
Yan Wuqing gritted his teeth, looked at the sky outside the window, and the corners of his mouth suddenly became a little sarcastic: "Chu Nian, you wait." ”
At this moment, Chu Nian just returned to the house, and saw two figures, one white and one black, sitting on the two Taishi chairs in the room, Tao Jinyan looked at Ming Xiu's gaze, which could be said to be gritting his teeth and eager to tear it apart, but Ming Xiu only drank tea indifferently, calmly making people wonder if he could see Tao Jinyan beside him.
Seeing Chu Nian coming in, Ming Xiu took the lead in standing up: "Nian'er, how is it, are you tired?" ”
Looking at the concern in his eyes, Chu Nian smiled lightly: "His Royal Highness and Mr. Jinyan escorted me, and I slept very comfortably all the way." ”
Tao Jinyan sneered: "What was the movement outside just now?" That kid is the queen mother's concubine? ”
Chu Nian ignored him, this stall Ming Xiu was already looking at her with a smile in his eyes, and reached out and gently rubbed her head: "It's right, such a person, there is no need to save face for him." ”
Chu Nian smiled lightly: "Tao Jinyan, you Tao family affairs, I can trust it, right?" ”
