126. Talk
Lin Boqin didn't know how he survived.
watched Huo Ying's mouth open and close, and it took a long time to understand what he meant.
The entire Great Yuan Dynasty knew the famous Princess Huarong, and Lin Boqin was no exception. But it was the princess of the dynasty, like the bright moon on the horizon, and it was impossible to have any intersection with him, and Lin Boqin had never paid attention to the situation of this princess. However, today, Huo Ying told him that the woman he mistakenly thought was the Jiangyang thief, but she was actually the princess of the dynasty, not only that, but this princess was also his wife.
Lin Boqin leaned his back against the wall slightly, so that his mind was clear.
He raised his eyes and said to Huo Ying: "It is rumored that Princess Huarong has an incurable disease, which seems to be an excuse." ”
Huo Ying nodded and sighed: "Lord Lin doesn't know that the princess is stubborn by nature, and because she didn't want to marry the son of Taishi Chen, she escaped from the palace. The royal family is afraid of face, and it is impossible to send people all over the world to find the princess, so wouldn't it become a joke among the people of the world after dinner? Therefore, Prime Minister Song Cheng thought of this method and lied that the imperial court wanted to arrest the Jiangyang thief. ”
"So...... Jiangyang thief Jade Xuanji, never existed? ”
"Of course."
The moonlight shone on his face, and it looked miserable and white.
Huo Ying thought that he was afraid that Wu Sha would not be safe, so he hurriedly reassured: "Lord Lin don't worry, you don't know, it is the right thing to do to put the princess in prison." That Qin Gao is already a person who steps on the high and praises the low, and when I knock him, he will not dare to talk nonsense in front of the saint. ”
Lin Boqin's mouth was full of bitterness, so bitter that he almost didn't know how to answer.
Why didn't Chu Cheng say it earlier?
He thought about it carefully, in fact, Chu Cheng wanted to tell him? Just because of his distrust, it broke her heart?
But what if she did? She is a princess, he is just a magistrate from the sixth grade, what can he do in the face of the supreme imperial power?
Thinking that Chu Cheng was originally going to marry Chen Yu'an, the son of Taishi Chen, Lin Boqin's heart ached, and he couldn't help asking: "Lord Huo, now that the princess has been found, she ...... Is she going back to Beijing to get married? ”
Huo Ying frowned, feeling that it was inappropriate for Lin Boqin to ask this question.
But thinking that he had a merit in finding the princess, he told the truth: "This is nature." ”
His Majesty has been trying to find a way to win over Taishi Chen and consolidate their friendship, and marriage is the best way.
Lin Boqin's figure shook slightly.
After Huo Ying finished talking to him, he turned around and went to find Chu Hui, leaving Lin Boqin alone.

Chu Cheng was supported by Qin Gao, left the mansion, and returned to the post house in a sedan chair.
The room in the post house was cleaned up, and as soon as he entered the house, Qin Gao bent down and said with a smile: "Princess, the slave has prepared the fragrant soup, you are tired these days, wash up and sleep well." Early in the morning, we will leave for Beijing. ”
Chu Cheng glanced at him lightly and did not answer.
She found a chair to sit on, and raised her hand to signal Qin Gao to step down.
When she was the only one left in the room, she smiled bitterly and lowered her head and played with her fingers: "Chu Shen, Chu Shen, I didn't expect this day to come so quickly." ”
Her dreams, her plans, all came to naught after Lin Boqin's distrust.
Chu Hui's eyes were slightly moist, but she left and raised her head to prevent herself from crying.
I'm going back to Beijing, and I'm really going to never see you again. He will always serve in Wangzhou and be a good parent, but what about her? Married to the Chen Mansion in charge, no one dared to offend her.
Is this a normal trajectory of life?
It was outrageously wrong to pretend to be Lin Boqin's wife by mistake.
They are so different that they will never come to fruition.

Following.
When Hu Yu, Yang La, Gu Jing and others learned the news, they were all dumbfounded, and asked Lin Boqin three times in a row if he had made a mistake.
Lin Boqin was really impatient when he was asked, and he brushed his sleeves and said: "Even if it is really mistaken, it is not me, it is Lord Huo and the chief eunuch beside him." ”
Gu Jingtong knew that Lin Boqin wouldn't talk nonsense, so he was stunned and said, "She turned out to be ...... It's a princess? That Princess Huarong who can chant poetry, Wu can play with knives and guns, and beat the prince of Nanban last year? ! ”
Yang La and Hu Yu were also stunned.
Hu Yu sighed and said, "It is rumored that the princess is stunning, but this is true. ”
"No wonder Madame doesn't act like a widow in the mountains, it turns out that ......" Yang La was sighing, and Hu Yu on the side saw that Lin Boqin's face was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't help but bump his elbow against him, signaling him not to say anything.
Lin Boqin didn't know what he felt in his heart.
This morning, Huo Ying came over to thank him again, but he didn't ask him how he caught Chu Cheng. Thinking that he was well-informed, he already knew that Chu Cheng had been pretending to be his wife, but he didn't mention it, indicating that he was secretive about this matter.
He didn't mention it, and Lin Boqin didn't dare to mention it.
Everyone knows that the princess is a woman who is waiting for the word boudoir, committed to his wife, and has done everything that should be done and should not be done.
He can still stay in Wangzhou, but the princess wants to go back to the capital to marry Chen Yu'an.
"Peizhi, what are you going to do?"
Gu Jingtong couldn't help but ask.
Lin Boqin turned sideways and looked out the window: "What can I do?" has no power or wealth, and even the emperor's face cannot be seen in this life. Even if I have a heart for her, I can't do it. ”
"Always fight for it!" Gu Jingtong was anxious, "Can you bear to watch her marry another man?" You...... Are you willing to do it? ”
Lin Boqin's heart was shocked.
He was reluctant.
But what can be done? She was already so disappointed in him, she ...... I don't have a heart for him anymore.
As if to confirm his thoughts, Feng He came from outside with a cold sword and reported: "Qin Gao Huo Ying will take the princess back to Beijing today, and the people are already at the city gate, can you go and see them off?" ”
Lin Boqin glanced at him, and then said after a while: "Let's go." ”
Just let him see her one last time, or just say sorry to her.
…… I'm sorry, he shouldn't have let down her friendship.
The spring is cold.
The pedestrians outside the city gate wrapped their clothes tightly and looked hurried.
Qin Gao didn't know where to find a gorgeous sedan chair and let Chu Cheng sit in it.
Chu Cheng is no longer a simple county lady, she is wearing a gourd Hangzhou silk palace dress prepared by Qin Gao, with a swaggering gold brocade skirt hanging on the upper of her shoes, her hair in a high bun, and her earrings are golden. was dressed up in Yan Yan Chunhong, but Chu Cheng's face was very pale, and she looked very tired, and she couldn't suppress this luxurious pearl emerald.
Xi Du and Mao Bi were found to continue to serve Chu Hui, and the two maids stood on both sides of the sedan chair, unable to believe that the lady who had served them for more than half a year was actually the princess of the dynasty!
But there are hundreds of people before and after, all of them are respectful to Chu Cheng, and they have to believe this fact.
Naxi Dusk has a simple temperament, and when she learned that Chu Cheng was going back to the palace, she bit her mouth and cried and asked Mabi: "Madame, what should I do if I leave?!" ”
Mabie knew that things were not simple, so she was busy telling her to shut up and not say much.
At this moment, Qin Gao looked at the sky and came over to urge: "Princess." It's getting late, it's time for us to go. ”
Chu Cheng lowered her head, took out a candied fruit from the food box painted with gold and silver flowers, put it in her mouth, and said coldly: "Father-in-law Qin, if you are in a hurry, you will leave first, and the palace is not in a hurry." After saying that, she spit out the candied fruit again and muttered, "Bitter." ”
When Mabi who was standing by the window heard this, she sighed secretly, her heart is bitter, and of course everything she eats is bitter.
Huo Ying didn't urge her.
He sat upright on the horse, and only let the forbidden army take care of the sedan chair, and couldn't let Chu Cheng run away.
Jokes, if Chu Cheng is allowed to slip away under his nose again, how can he, the commander of the forbidden army, still mix? How can he continue to be Chu Cheng's master?
"Madame! Madam! Lord Lin is here! ”
Xi looked at the city gate at dusk, and sure enough, he saw a blue-green figure.
Lin Boqin was also followed by Gu Jingtong Yang La and others, he dusted off his official uniform, saluted Huo Ying, and said a lot of words.
Huo Ying smiled faintly and dragged his arm to support him: "Lord Lin, you don't have to be polite to me, I said that you have made a great contribution this time, and you are indispensable for becoming an official and becoming a knight." For the position of prefect of Wangzhou, the imperial court has finalized the candidate eight days ago, but there are still many vacancies in the position of Beijing, and Lord Lin will not be wronged. ”
Lin Boqin didn't expect Huo Ying to say this.
He was slightly stunned, and was about to excuse himself, but he thought of what Gu Jingtong had said to him before.
He is just a sesame official, why do you want to marry the princess of the dynasty? If...... If you can get your Majesty's appreciation as soon as possible, can you be like what Fengyue wrote in the book, Princess Zhuangyuan, for a lifetime?
"So...... Xia Guan thanked Master Huo in advance. ”
Huo Ying smiled heartily: "It's easy to say." ”
