Chapter 236: The Wind and Snow Don't Return
Cai Li stepped forward, bent down and attached his ear, and the emperor whispered a few words to him.
Sanhuai Battalion? Leaving Beijing immediately? After hearing this, Cai Li's face was surprised, but he didn't say a word. As a person who wants to lead troops to fight, he still has this calmness.
The emperor saw his reaction in his eyes, secretly approved, and said: "This matter is top secret, so your credit for saving Shen Juxin can only be counted on the head of Honglu Temple, Shen Yiyi will not know, let alone be grateful to you." ”
"It's nothing, I don't want her to be grateful." Cai Li hesitated, "Chen is just worried about ......"
"Worried about what?" The emperor asked, "If you have a request, you can only go straight to the Sanhuai camp through this gate, and you are not allowed to contact anyone again." ”
"Don't hide it from the emperor, the minister offended his daughter-in-law today, and he didn't have time to apologize to her yet. If the minister leaves, he doesn't say goodbye to her, but he is afraid that he ......" It seems to be a bit childlike to say this, but in order for Shen Yiyi not to beat him to death in the future, I can't care so much!
"You remember, you left Beijing suddenly because your parents were hopeless, your wife was divorced, and you couldn't stand the blow. Therefore, the word daughter-in-law should not be on your lips in the future. "The emperor is right.
It turned out that he wanted to find a good reason for his sudden departure from Beijing, no wonder it was a good thing for him to leave the general's mansion and leave peacefully...... Cai Li understood, nodded and replied, "Yes, the minister remembers." ”
The emperor bowed slightly: "But don't worry, after you leave, I will go to see Shen Yiyi, and I won't let her think that you have disappeared for no reason." ”
As the emperor, he can do this for his courtiers, what else does Cai Li have to say, he kowtows and thanks, and swears that he will live up to his holy hopes.
At this time, it was dark, and it was a good time to go out of the city, Cai Li immediately said goodbye to the emperor and was sent to the gate by Jiang Taiwen. Fuliu and Zhu Yu and other small servants have been waiting in front of the gate for a long time, and it seems that the emperor has already deployed in order to avoid leaking rumors.
Cai Li took a few servants, took advantage of the night, rode out of Beijing, and went out of the city.
-------------
In the kitchen, the fragrance is fragrant, the stew pot is bubbling, and the pig's trotters are soaked in medicinal herbs, the skin is shiny on the outside, and the inside is fat and soft.
Little Pepper swallowed her saliva fiercely, and while Shen Yiyi was not paying attention, she stole a mouthful, so beautiful that she almost swallowed all the bones.
It began to snow outside again, and in order to keep warm, Shen Yiyi simply didn't put the pig's trotter soup up, even the stew pot was served in the carriage and went to the small courtyard in the west of the city.
In the night sky, the shadow of the moon was faintly visible, but the small courtyard in the west of the city was pitch black, and there was not even a single lamp.
"Aren't they home?" Shen Yiyi let Little Pepper carry the stewpot, and the master and servant got out of the car.
The courtyard door was hidden, and in the bedroom, the stepping bed was still there, and the bedding was neat, but there was no one.
Little Pepper looked around inside and out, ran over and shook her head: "Miss, they are not here to keep them, there is no one." ”
What's going on? Where did they go? Now that Cai Li's genealogy has been removed, it is impossible to return to the General's Mansion. Besides, even if he goes back, he will always leave one or two little servants to watch the house, right? What about people? It's all gone?
"Miss, maybe they have something to do, right?" It's normal for men not to come home at night, but Little Pepper can think about it.
"Impossible." Shen Yiyi didn't believe it, "The young master is not such a person. ”
In the eyes of outsiders, Cai Li is a bastard who is not afraid of heaven and earth, but she knows that he has always had nothing to do with cool bullies in front of his own people, and if he wants to go out, he will definitely come to tell her. What's more, he just did something wrong and owe her an apology, with his person, he can't say goodbye at such a time.
Where did Cai Li go? She suddenly remembered his disappearance by the Yangtze River, and her face gradually sank.
It's so cold! Little Pepper saw her standing in the yard in a daze, and couldn't help but remind her: "Miss, it's useless for you to stand here and wait, why don't we go back first?" ”
"No return!" Shen Yiyi pursed her lips and resolutely turned around and walked towards the room, "I'll sleep here and wait for him to come back." ”
"Huh?" Little Pepper looked down at the stew pot in her hand, and said Ai Ai, "Miss, can I eat the pig's trotters?" ”
"Don't eat it, keep it for him!" Shen Yiyi shouted.
The young master hasn't come back, and she is not allowed to eat? Pepper pursed her mouth. When the young master comes back, she must go to complain, the eldest lady calls him a pig, and says that he is a pig's trotter!

The Emperor's Bedroom, Funing Palace.
The emperor had just returned from Jiang Taiwen's mansion, and his body was stained with the smell of frost, and his expression was very happy. He picked up the paperweight on the table, played with it, and asked Huang Futian: "How can I see Shen Yiyi so that I don't show traces?" "He is the Son of Heaven, he can't take the initiative to find her, he specially summoned her, and he is unknown, too eye-catching.
Huang Futian had a deep impression of Shen Yiyi, and when he remembered the original silver silk offering, he was full of deep sympathy for her: "Your Majesty, didn't the hussar general say that there is a new type of military ration to be presented?" The new-style military ration was made by Shen Yiyi, why didn't the emperor let the hussar general take her into the palace and make it for the emperor to see? ”
Good idea! That's it! The emperor was satisfied with his head and signaled Huang Futian to give the order.
-------------------
The night sky was dark, the moonlight was dim, the snow was not heavy, but the wind was fierce, overwhelming the sky and sharper than the blade.
Several fast horses galloped on the trail on the outskirts of Beijing, and Cai Li, who was the leader, had a straight posture and a solemn expression.
Fuliu looked at him worriedly: "Young Master, are your knees okay?" ”
Cai Li didn't respond, but asked, "When she moved, did she bring enough firewood?" Did I run out of the grease I bought for her? ”
From the moment he received the emperor's secret order, he was a serious general, like him, a general who worries about the firewood at home and worries about his daughter-in-law's fat, should be unprecedented and unprecedented, right? Fuliu was speechless for a while, and deliberately said, "Young Master, which one are you talking about?" You're gone, and you're alone. Maybe when she goes back, Miss Shen will have already remarried. ”
"What did you say?!" Cai Li looked at each other angrily, whipped the horsewhip, but suddenly remembered the emperor's advice, so he had to swallow the words back, slammed the horse's belly, and rushed to the Sanhuai camp.
---------------
The sun was rising, but the snow outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, Shen Yiyi opened her eyes from a half-dream, looked at the cold pillow on her side, and sighed for the first time - this stepping bed is really big, so big that if there is one less person, it feels empty.
Cai Li has always gotten up early, maybe he came back a long time ago, but he just went to practice boxing? Shen Yiyi hurriedly got out of bed and ran to the backyard.
However, the backyard was also empty, except for the bare date tree, swaying tenaciously in the wind and snow.
Where did he go? Although it was just a fake marriage, this situation has never happened. Didn't they say that it was good, and the separation was just a formality, and it would not affect the relationship between the two?
Or did he really do it? After all, he had said in person that he only had a good impression of her.
Shen Yiyi boasted that she was not too hypocritical, but Cai Li did not say goodbye and did not return overnight, but it was a fact in front of her, so she couldn't help but think nonsense.
