Chapter 274: Xiu'er slips a tire
Mengxi also knew that this plan was feasible, but in this way, Xiao Jun would be in danger, nine deaths, she had already borne him too much, and at this time she didn't want him to take risks for her, seeing that Cheng Yuan didn't say anything, he said:
"I don't agree, we have few people, once we are separated, it will be even more powerful, and it is easy to be broken by King Yan, there is always a response in one place, just plan carefully."
How could Mengxi, who has always been shrewd, pull back at this time, is he worried about himself?
Xiao Jun glanced at Mengxi and said:
"It is precisely because of the small number of us that we have made this decision, Xi'er can rush to the south as soon as possible, cure the plague one day earlier, we can get out of trouble one day earlier, and you fall into the hands of King Yan again, you may not be so lucky, not to mention, I am afraid that King Yan will definitely be able to expose your identity, not only Yichun Hall, including the Xiao family, will be convicted again in an instant, and the prince's great cause will also be ruined, Xi'er, at this time, we must focus on the overall situation, and we must not be rash."
"Second Master ......"
"Xi'er, although the Xiao family is defeated, there are still a group of loyal dead soldiers following me, and my martial arts are enough to protect myself, as long as you remember, if you can reach the south one day earlier, I will be able to get out of trouble one day sooner, and whether the Xiao family can be revived also depends on you and the prince curing the plague in time."
Ouyang Di also followed suit:
"Master, what Brother Xiao said is right, only when you reach the south as soon as possible can everyone get out of the predicament in front of you, this is not the time to be emotional."
Seeing that everyone agreed with Xiao Jun, Mengxi thought about it and said:
"It's okay, but I have to let the guards left by the prince follow the second master, I don't need too many people to sneak in this makeup, it's easy to attract attention if there are too many people, just bring Ouyang Di and Cheng Yuan is enough."
Everyone wanted to object, but seeing Mengxi's decisive tone, they all fell silent and looked at Xiao Jun.
Xiao Jun pondered for a long time and said:
"It's okay, Xi'er agreed, and this matter is settled."
Everyone discussed the details and contact information of the southbound journey, and it was not until the lights were almost turned that Mengxi left with people, and when they arrived at the door, they saw Xiao Jun sent them out, Mengxi stopped and said:
"The second master has a very bad cough, I think there is something wrong with the lungs, Mengxi will show you, prescribe a prescription, and the second master will use it all the way."
Xiao Jun's expression froze, and then he said:
"This is all a problem that I did before, I have already asked Dr. Li to take a look, prescribed medicine, and drank all the way, nothing serious."
"It's been so long, and I haven't seen it at all, Mengxi is worried about ......"
Xiao Jun has been coughing for so long, and he hasn't seen any strength at all, Mengxi is worried that it is because Taiyi Li has misdiagnosed, but after all, he is a Taiyi, and he really can't say this.
"Xi'er don't worry, it's not a big deal, it's late today, let's rest early, and when I get to the south, if it's not good, I'll definitely go find Xi'er."
"Hmm...... It's good. ”
Finally got out of the control of King Yan and relaxed his mood, Mengxi actually had a good night's sleep, and when he opened his eyes the next day, it was already dawn.
"Miss woke up and slept well?"
"What time is it?"
"It's just past hour."
As soon as he heard that it was already past the hour, Mengxi sat up and spoke:
"What, it's so late, why didn't you wake me up, is the second master gone?"
"Miss, the second master left at the end of the day, knowing that you haven't rested well these days, and you are not in a hurry to leave, so I didn't let you wake up, the second master said, we will stagger with him, and set off two hours late."
Hearing that Xiao Jun was gone, Mengxi was lost for a while, and was about to speak, but as soon as the door opened, Cheng Yuan walked in with two sets of men's clothes, and saw Mengxi sitting in **, and said briskly:
"Sister, we are dressed as men, so it is easier to walk, Yuan'er went out early in the morning to find a few sets of men's clothes, this is you and Zhiqiu, sister try to fit or not."
Mengxi's eyes lit up, and she said happily:
"**Thoughtful, I'll add some potions later, and my face will turn black."
"Is there really such a medicine? It doesn't hurt the skin, and every time Yuan'er dresses up as a man, she wipes her face with charcoal, which is very uncomfortable......"
"Miss Cheng, don't worry, Miss's medicine will never hurt you."
Zhiqiu said, already waiting for Mengxi to get dressed and get busy.
Everyone finished eating, packed up, and came to the outside of the inn, Ouyang Di had already prepared the carriage, and waited outside, Mengxi took Cheng Yuan to get into the car, and suddenly saw eight guards standing next to the car, and was stunned, looked at Ouyang Di and asked:
"Why didn't the second master take all the guards away?"
Ouyang Di listened and said:
"These people were sent by Shangguan Gongzi, and Brother Xiao only brought the Xiao family and the prince's guards this morning, not them."
"Shangguan Jun? Yi Chuntang didn't have anything to do with him, and he sent someone last time. ”
"Master, Shangguan Gongzi said, first, he has received the favor of the Yangzhou branch of Yichun Hall, and second, he admires your name very much, so I heard that you went south, so I sent someone over."
Mengxi listened and asked suspiciously:
"Long live has issued an order to confirm that I am in the south, and there are only a few people who know that I am going south, how can Shangguan Gongzi know?"
Ouyang Di was also stunned, and the person named Shangguan Heng hugged Xiao Jun flashed in front of him, his body stiffened, he hesitated for a moment and shook his head and said:
"The disciple doesn't know, when the master goes to the south, look for an opportunity to visit Shangguan Gongzi, and you will know when you ask."
Glancing at Ouyang, Mengxi nodded, got into the carriage, Ouyang Di also turned over and got on the horse, and everyone hurriedly stepped on the road south.
Because of Xiao Jun's containment, Mengxi and others disguised themselves and changed their disguises to be smooth all the way, because I heard that Xiao Jun had encountered Yan Wang twice, and suffered heavy losses, fortunately, Xiao Jun was safe and sound, rest assured, Mengxi was also Xiaoxing overnight, less than 10 days, it passed Jiaozhou, all the way to the boundary of Chuzhou, as soon as the carriage entered Chuzhou, it was stopped by officers and soldiers.
It turned out that according to Mengxi's suggestion, in order to prevent the spread of the plague, the prince set up a quarantine area here, and carried out post-management, and Chuzhou had entered the epidemic area after it was south.
The group found an inn in Chuzhou, Mengxi sent someone to contact the prince, and on the other hand, sent someone to send a letter to Xiao Jun, who was still holding back King Yan in Jiaozhou, she had arrived in Chuzhou safely, asking him to hide his whereabouts and stop entangling with King Yan.
The news that King Yan was robbed of marrying a side concubine in another courtyard had already been reported back to King Yan's mansion, Princess Situ was frightened and secretly sad, the warbler Yanyan in the family was about to catch up with the harem of the long-lived lord, and the prince even hid from her to marry the outer room.
Seeing that the prince was sitting there with a black face and silent since he entered the door, Princess Situ, who wanted to ask a few words, did not dare to mention the matter of Jinyang, and saw the maid bringing tea, and said softly:
"The prince has worked hard all the way, take a sip of tea and rest."
King Yan hummed, took a sip of tea, looked at the princess, stopped talking, was silent for a while and asked:
"Concubine Xiu is back?"
Although King Yan is lustful, he still respects this married wife, and he also knows that it is inappropriate for him to hide from her to marry the outer room, and he wants to confirm whether Xiu'er told the princess about Jinyang.
Seeing that the first sentence of the prince when he came back was to ask about Concubine Xiu's situation, a trace of jealousy flashed in Princess Situ's eyes, and she instantly regained her calm, thought about it and said:
"It is said that the prince is tired all the way, and the concubine should not bother you with family affairs, but it is not good not to talk about such a big thing."
King Yan's expression stood up, and he looked up at the princess and asked:
"What's the matter, Cher said."
"No, the prince mentioned Concubine Xiu, she came back a few days ago, Mother Liu said that Concubine Xiu broke the rules and angered you, and passed on your words to the concubine to discipline her well, but An saw that Concubine Xiu was sick, so she was willing to be punished, only said a few words, and hurriedly invited a doctor for her, I didn't want Concubine Xiu to be really angry, and I was so happy."
Seeing that King Yan heard that Xiu'er was happy, her eyes lit up, the princess's heart sank, a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes, she picked up the tea, took a sip, and continued:
"For more than two years, there has been no movement in the prince's backyard, and the concubine is happy when she hears this, and she is happy or something, and it is a fetal pill, and it is a tonic sent over, for fear that the young man is not sensible and does not serve well, and the child has a mistake, and the concubine sent the experienced Mama Zheng to take care of it personally, I really hope that Concubine Xiu can add an heir to the prince, and I am happy to see it as a housewife, who knows ......"
When the princess said this, she showed a sad face, and she was a little stunned, and King Yan's eyes were cold, and she asked urgently:
"What's wrong?"
"That day, Concubine Xiu heard the doctor say that she was happy, but also faint, no joy, the concubine originally thought that she had just come back from Jinyang, and was punished by you, a little tired, and did not go to her heart, so she had to comfort her, and let her go back to Bicui Garden to raise the fetus, but the morning ago, Concubine Xiu drank the fetal medicine boiled in the heart, and actually slipped the fetus...... The concubine was shocked and invited a doctor, settled Concubine Xiu, and then tied Bingxin over to ask, at first Bingxin didn't admit it, saying that she was boiling fetal pills, and then she couldn't stand the concubine's questioning, so she told the truth, it turned out that it was ......"
"So what's wrong?"
"Listen to Bingxin said, before Concubine Xiu got married, she lived in Xiao Mansion all the year round, and fell in love with her cousin Xiao Jun, the two often played chess, calligraphy and painting in the same room, and it was spread all over Xiao Mansion, but we outsiders don't know, but Xiao Jun is a small marriage contract, I heard that the newly married grandmother is not only amazing, but also a powerful one, she just managed Xiao Jun and didn't let her take a concubine, Concubine Xiu died of her heart and married into our palace, I don't want to meet Xiao Jun again in Jinyang this time, the two chatted on the street for a long time, and they were moved again, and they didn't want to give birth to the prince, added a taste of cantharid to the fetal medicine sent by the concubine, and then the fetus slipped ......"
"Xiu'er has seen Xiao Jun in Jinyang!"
King Yan has always been worried about the leakage of secrets in the other courtyard, and when she heard the princess say that Xiu'er had seen Xiao Jun in Jinyang, she immediately suspected that she did it, only she knew that Mengxi was the next cousin of the Xiao family. Thinking of this, I didn't feel that the green muscles were bursting up, and seeing King Yan like this, Princess Situ secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said:
"God has eyes, if it weren't for Mother Liu's words, Concubine Xiu and the second grandmother of Xiao Mansion mentioned in the courtyard that she was going to marry Xiao Jun in the other courtyard, and had a private meeting with Xiao Jun on the way back, the concubine had an extra heart and interrogated Bingxin in person, I'm afraid that the concubine is really indisputable this time, Lord, the concubine has been with you for many years, you also know the concubine's heart, the concubine is too late to hurt your flesh and bones, how can you be willing to do harm, besides, if An wants to harm, it's too late to hide, how can you personally send the fetal medicine, Liu Ma Bingxin and other people are all taken care of by the concubine, and the prince will know as soon as he asks."
Secretly marrying the outer room is always at a loss, and the angry King Yan heard the princess mention Mengxi, suppressed his anger, and comforted:
"Xue'er, don't be frightened, I believe in you, you've worked hard these days, you rest for a while, I'll go to Bicui Garden to have a look, and come over at night to ......"
"Lord Wang, you are the time to use people, it is not good to offend Zhang Yushi, Xiu'er is young and ignorant, and her body is weak, you should coax it first, this thing is not easy to happen now, you know in your heart, An will persuade her more in the future......"
