Chapter Ninety-Nine: Travel

On the first night of that year, Zhao Zhi was indeed not with her.

They are usually inseparable, and they are always together in action, sitting and lying together.

That time, Zhao Zhi was talking to others about making lights, so ......

The memory of that night is so deep that Xiao Dong has not forgotten it at all.

After that incident, Zhao Zhi came to see her a few days later, and although Xiao Dong didn't blame her, it was just that she was still slightly disappointed.

But she never doubted Zhao Zhi from beginning to end, not once.

Xiaodong got into the car, didn't make a sound for a long time, Hongjing raised his voice and asked, "County Lord, shall we go back to the house directly?" ”

"No," Xiao Dong was stunned and said softly, "Go to the palace." ”

Hongjing has always been calm, and he also knows how to advance and retreat the most. Xiao Dong came out of Changchun Palace just now, and she was fine until the fourth prince whispered a few words to her just now, and her face changed greatly. Hongjing didn't see Xiao Dong's face so ugly, she boldly handed over the veil: "County Lord." ”

Xiao Dong glanced up at her, took the handkerchief and wiped his face. Hongjing didn't dare to ask anything, just said some gossip to distract Xiao Dong and relieve his worries.

The steward said that the ship had been booked for three days, and the things were all packed. I just kept thinking about not pulling down anything, and I thought about it carefully, but I didn't pull anything, but my heart was just not steady. ”

Xiao Dong nodded, but did not respond. Hongjing didn't know if she had listened or not.

"The day before yesterday, Miao'er's girl also told me, saying that she was afraid that she was not used to taking a car or boat on the road, and wanted to get some salted kumquats. Hongfu also laughed at her, obviously just for gluttony, the medicine for seasickness was also prepared, and the snacks were also prepared, and she just remembered that. ”

"I'm not used to eating that thing......

Hongjing hurriedly said: "That's right, you can't go to the shop to buy it again just because she is good." It just so happened that she said good things, and found a box of candied fruit that had not been touched, kumquats, ginger, and frost pears, and I don't know when she bought them, so she picked them up like a baby. ”

The car arrived at King An's mansion, and King An and Zhao Lu were naturally not there at this time, and King An had not come back yet, and Zhao Lu went to Chengling again. Xiao Dong returned to Yufang Pavilion. It's the same place as before, and it's still the same. Hongjing served Xiaodong and washed his face and brought tea again. The plantain behind the window is in full bloom, and the flowers are bright red, and they look as if they are about to burn in the sun. Xiao Dong leaned on the couch, staring at the fiery red flower, and after a moment, she felt that her eyes were shining, and she closed her eyes and turned her head.

"The county lord has been packing up and checking things for the past two days, and it's really hard, so let's sleep for a while now."

Xiao Dong opened her eyes, and there were still chaotic spots of light in front of her, but she could also see Hongjing's slightly worried expression.

"Hmm. If my father returns, call me. ”

She leaned back on the couch, groggy and I don't know how long it took, the room was cool and quiet, but I don't know why a neck of sweat came out.

She vaguely listened to what seemed to be movement around her, and someone sat down beside her. Xiao Dong opened her eyes, An Dynasty smiled slightly, and brushed the hair on her sideburns: "Tired? ”

"Father is back...... Xiao Dong wanted to sit up, and King An said, "Lie down and rest for a while." I ordered someone to go and tell Qin Lie that you would stay and have dinner with me at noon. ”

An Wang opened the folding fan and gently fanned Xiaodong. Xiao Dong was not polite, squinted and enjoyed it for a while. King An personally fanned it, I'm afraid that the emperor and the queen mother have not enjoyed this treatment.

"I'm asleep and my brows are still wrinkled, what's on my mind?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Dong was still sullen: "Father...... The assassin on the night of the first year of that year, could it be someone from the King Jingjun faction? ”

King An's fanned hand paused slightly: "What?" ”

"Zhao Zhi and I have always been on good terms, but when she wasn't by my side that night, I just encountered that incident. This one...... Is it really a coincidence? ”

"You didn't think about this before, why did you bring it up today?"

Xiao Dong hesitated: "The fourth prince said that he heard what someone said to Zhao Zhi on the night of Shangyuan......"

Xiao Dong said this sentence very slowly and very hard.

King An was silent for a while: "I don't think Zhao Zhi may know that you are encountering a deadly assassin. ”

This is the right to admit the Four Princes.

Xiao Dong felt a little sudden jump in blood vessels under his eyes: "Father...... When did you find out about this? Why didn't ...... "tell her?"

Are you afraid that the relationship between her and Zhao Zhi will change and make people see the flaws? Will King Jingjun scare them?

Still is...... For any other reason?

Wang An touched her hair and sighed slightly: "What parents do often involves their children. I believe that Zhao Zhi's child treats you well, but compared with her family, who is she closer to, and who is she more willing to believe? ”

Of course, family is more important.

Even if Zhao Zhi is good with her, but King Jingjun and Princess Jing are her biological fathers and mothers, how could she not listen to their words?

Take Xiao Dong herself as an example, if one day King An and Zhao Lu asked her not to associate with someone, even if she was puzzled in her heart, she would listen to them first, and as for the reason or something, it would not be too late to ask later.

She believed they wouldn't hurt her.

Zhao Zhi thinks the same way, right?

Therefore, when she had an accident, Zhao Zhi came to see her after a few days, and brought a gift of reparation.

If it's just because of the delay in the visit, you won't be so sorry, and you need to take the blame, right?

It turned out that she ...... At that time, was it because of this reason that I was ashamed?

Xiao Dong felt stuffy in her chest, but she still had something to understand.

"However, King Jingjun, why are they ......" Xiao Dong couldn't figure it out. She's just an insignificant little princess, and she's not a person who competes for the throne, if she's a prince, or a prince of the county—

But now that the second prince and King Jingjun are no longer alive, I am afraid that the reason for this will no longer be explored.

As for the reason why King An didn't tell her later-since King Jingjun and they had already been defeated and died, the danger did not exist. Another reason is that Xiaodong and Zhao Zhi used to be better than that.

Although King An didn't say it, Xiao Dong could understand his mood.

Under the brutal struggle for imperial power, King An tried his best to keep Xiaodong away from those strife and darkness. He didn't want to ruin Xiao Dong's beautiful expectations for sisterhood, and he didn't want her to doubt everywhere and live a heavy and difficult life.

"Father, I'm not a child anymore...... There are things that always need to be known. ”

"Yes," King An nodded: "Parents are looking forward to their children growing up quickly, being able to distinguish between right and wrong, and being able to take care of and protect themselves." However, no matter how old the child grows, the parents will not be relieved, and always want to stretch their arms longer and raise them higher, so that the child will be firmly protected, and all the wind and rain will be blocked, and all the hardships will not be experienced by them......"

Xiao Dong's eyes were slightly moist, she leaned on King An's shoulder, the father and daughter sat quietly, and after a while, King An's voice was a little deeper than just now, and he said softly: "Well, it's all over, don't talk about it." Let's go and see if the dishes cooked in the kitchen today are to your liking. ”

Xiao Dong accompanied King An to dinner, and then walked with him in the garden for a while, and waited for King An to rest before leaving the palace and going home.

The day of departure was sunny and breezy, making it a good day to travel. Finally about to go out, they all got in the car, but Xiao Dong felt a strong reluctance in his heart, and looked at the door of the house through the window.

Qin Lie asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I feel reluctant...... I'm going to get homesick. ”

Yes, this new house that she has lived in for a few months is already home in her heart.

An Wangfu is also her home, and it is the same here.

Moreover, this is where she and Qin Lie live together, he earns money to support the family, and she takes care of the housework. Even the style of the doors and windows, the planting of flowers and trees, were carefully planned and agreed by her and Qin Lie little by little - after investing so much effort, the new home created was of course satisfactory everywhere.

"Then let's pack up and move the house together, shall we?"

Xiao Dong laughed at him for talking nonsense.

Qin Lie smiled and comforted her again: "I'll be back soon, don't think too much." Besides, when you get to Suizhou, maybe you like it again and won't come back. ”

The three brothers and sisters of the Li family helped beside them: "That is to say, Aunt Qin, you will know when you arrive in Suizhou, we are no worse than the capital, and when the time comes, we will take you to watch and eat all the fun and delicious food, and ensure that you don't want to go back to the capital." ”

Xiao Dong smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you to lead the way." ”

Xiaodong also sent someone to the Five Princesses' Mansion to communicate with Xin'er, although they left, but if they found the famous doctor in Suizhou, the people in Anwang's Mansion also made arrangements, and they would not miss the five horses to see a doctor. The fifth princess sent someone to say thank you and sent some things.

They arrived in the same state and boarded the ship. Qin Liebao's two were both big boats, and Shi Xiu was a woman, so it was naturally inconvenient to live on the boat behind her cousin and the other guys in the shop. However, when she carried the burden on the boat, Hongfu and the others were gearing up and secretly determined that they would never let this stone girl have a chance to get close to the county lord and her aunt - she was just one person, with a pair of eyes and a mouth, could she fight against a group of people who worked together so together?

Just arrived on the boat, everyone felt fresh, Hu Shi was busy leading people to settle and clean up, Hongfu took a cushion and put it on the chair, and invited Xiaodong to sit down and rest. Hu Shi was very careful, not only worried about opening the window to ventilate, but also not letting Xiaodong get too close. It not only eliminates the possibility of falling into the water unintentionally, but also does not let the river wind blow her. The sound of the paddles hitting the water is regular and beautiful, and it is all at once.

Xiaodong didn't have a seasickness reaction, just a day's journey, and naturally his appetite was not good. Qin Lie deliberately asked people to get fresh fish to make a bowl of fresh fish soup, and put aside the vinegar, which was very appetizing to eat. The boat traveled very quickly, and rested in Qingshen Town at night. It's also a big crossing. Sleeping on the boat is still the first time in two lifetimes for Xiao Dong. When the wind came, the boat also floated up and down slightly, as if the ship also had life and could breathe.
