Chapter 174: Strange Woman
As soon as the day of departure was set for three days later, he asked Xuan Qi to send Wang Fuling back.
The groom who was standing in front of the palace gate to see her enter the palace saw Wang Fuling coming back, and the man was very anxious: "I just met a person in front of the palace gate, saying that you came back, but the slave drove back to see but didn't see your shadow." I was thinking about whether to return to my mother, but fortunately you are back. ”
Wang Fuling snorted: "It's okay, Her Royal Highness the princess sent someone to send me back." ”
The coachman looked at the carriage parked in front of the mansion, and watched Wang Fuling return to the house.
Back in Chunyuan, Wang Fuling was full of worries.
Ah Huan was busy sprinkling and sweeping in the house, walking around, always dangling in front of Wang Fuling.
She looked at Ah Huan: "Ah Huan, have you been staying in Yandu, or have you come here and there?" ”
Ah Huan stopped what he was doing and responded to Wang Fuling's question: "Back to the girl, the old owner of the slave used to be in Yandu, and later moved away, and the slave stayed in Yandu for a while. ”
"In that case, have you heard some rumors about the proton in Southern Xinjiang?"
"Southern Xinjiang Proton?" Ah Huan was puzzled: "I don't know who this Southern Xinjiang proton is in the girl's mouth?" ”
If she knew, she wouldn't have asked Ah Huan: "It's okay, I'll ask casually." ”
Ah Huan nodded and continued to do her thing.
She wiped the bookcase that Wang Fuling used on weekdays, and recalled Wang Fuling's question, as if she had thought of something.
"This Southern Xinjiang Proton... The slave seems to have heard of it. ”
Wang Fuling was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me about it." ”
Ah Huan said: "I don't know if he is a slave in southern Xinjiang, but I only know that a mansion outside the imperial city was a forbidden place, and no one was allowed to step into it half a step like the imperial city." At that time, the slave was still young and rarely went out, and I heard that there lived there a prince who thought that he was a foreign country, and said that he was sent to Beijing as a proton, so he must have been the one you said. ”
"What else? How did he die? ”
Ah Huan thought about it carefully: "I heard that he was burned to death by fire, and the slave didn't see it with his own eyes, but he heard from the people in the house about the tragic scene." In the second year after the proton was sent to the capital, the mansion caught fire on the third watch of the day, and the proton also died inside. There was no one going to that place, and the king at that time strictly ordered that no one should approach, so there was no one else except the guards stationed there. The guards were negligent in their duties, and this was the only way to let the proton die. ”
Even the guards didn't care, it seems that this proton has suffered a lot.
"Why did the girl suddenly remember to ask this?"
Faced with Ah Huan's question, Wang Fuling chose to avoid it: "Just talk casually, you do your thing." ”
Ah Huan didn't ask any more questions, and continued to work.
The reason why Wang Fuling asked these questions was because she had a bold guess in her heart, and she wanted to find clues through the incident back then and confirm her guess.
She felt that the proton of Southern Xinjiang might not be dead, maybe it was the one from the National Teacher's Mansion.
Wang Fuling didn't know why she had this intuition, but she just felt that there was a problem with Xuanye.
Today, he jokingly said that southern Xinjiang was his homeland, and then said that he was bluffing her. But the monks don't speak, Xuan Ye has never lied to her, is it really to tease her this time?
She didn't believe it, she felt that what Xuan Ye said was the truth, which was why Wang Fuling promised him to go to southern Xinjiang.
But what she didn't know was that all this happened not without reason, and Xuan Ye didn't inadvertently reveal the news to her.
After Wang Fuling left, Qingyan stepped into the main hall again.
"You've got it all figured out to tell her? She's an unidentified person, you have to think about it. ”
Xuan Ye put the Buddha beads in his hand on the table, and sighed helplessly: "She has a different meaning to me, and I always feel that I should tell her." If she accepts, I take this step, and if she doesn't, then I will not see her again after I bring her back. ”
Qingyan was a little uneasy: "What if... I mean, what if she uses this as a lever to force you or blackmail you? ”
This is the worst plan that Xuan Ye has ever done: "If this is the case, I probably won't show mercy." Don't worry, since I dare to say it, I'm not afraid of her revealing it, I have my own way to resolve it. ”
"I hope so, I hope you still have a shred of sanity......"
Two days is very short, but Wang Fuling feels that it is a long time, especially on the second night, thinking about going out is a lot of worries, and talks to Ah Huan and Ji Chun.
She agreed with Xuan Ye to meet in the east of the city at dusk the next day, and for the sake of safety, Wang Fuling let Ah Huan explore the time early, so that she could sneak out smoothly.
But she never expected that Shen Shiqian would come back the next day.
After Emperor Qingyuan promulgated the decree of Emperor He, he had a holy decree to recall Shen Shiqian.
Originally, it would arrive tomorrow, but Shen Shiqian quickly stepped up, and it was a day faster.
He came back early, and no one went to see him, but he came to Wang Fuling's Spring Garden.
Ah Huan rushed to the house to inform Wang Fuling, Wang Fuling was startled, put on a coat and went out to see him.
In the past few months of grinding on the battlefield, Shen Shiqian has become very different from before, his body has become a lot burlier, and he has stubble on his face.
She was about to forget that Shen Shiqian was already a teenage man, half an adult.
When he saw Wang Fuling, Shen Shiqian smiled happily: "Master, I'm back......"
Hearing this, Wang Fuling's heart was mixed, and she was so moved.
She helped Shen Shiqian from the beginning just because he was the last incense of King Changping, but seeing the current Shen Shiqian and his respect for her, Wang Fuling felt that she wanted to treat him sincerely.
"Are you alright? Accept the grievances, right? ”
Shen Shiqian shook his head: "Don't be wronged, the apprentice came back today to inform the master, and the apprentice lived up to the promise he made to the master at that time, and now he is about to get ahead." ”
Even if he deserves his name, Shen Shiqian is a young general after all, and I am afraid that he can't be a high-ranking official.
She asked Shen Shiqian, "Has the holy decree come down?" ”
Shen Shiqian shook his head: "Not yet, it's just that the king wrote two sentences in the letter when he summoned his apprentices back to Yandu, which means to reward him heavily." ”
Hearing this, Wang Fuling persuaded him: "If the king makes you a high-ranking official and gives you generous gifts, you must not ask for it." Your current status is not enough to benefit the powerful people in Yikang Jingzhong, even if you sit in a high position, those people will be bad. ”
"Yes, I've written it down."
is so obedient and well-behaved, Wang Fuling is quite satisfied: "Remember to go and thank my second uncle, if he hadn't appreciated you, you wouldn't be where you are today." ”
"The apprentice came to the Han Mansion today, first, to see you, and secondly, to see the general's injuries."
Wang Fuling looked at the gray sky outside: "I'll go later, he is sick on the couch now, and I'm afraid he will wake up at this hour." ”
Shen Shiqian found a place to sit down on his own, and waited for the dawn with Wang Fuling.
