When Wanying returned to her house, it was only evening.

In the evening, I explained to my mother-in-law what I saw today, and I also talked about seeing Xiaoqian. The mother-in-law was also happy for Wanying. Then they discussed the arrangements for returning to Wenxian early tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, just after breakfast, Wanying hired a carriage and set off with her mother-in-law. When the car reached the street outside the city gate, the speed slowed down and the flow of people became crowded. It gradually became unworkable. Wanying thought to herself that she had already gone out early enough today, how could she still be so congested. In the car, he asked the driver aloud.

"What's wrong?"

The mother-in-law also lifted the curtain to look out, and the people outside also followed one by one to look ahead. They don't seem to know what's going on.

The coachman stood on the cart and looked forward over the black crushed head. Seeing that the gate of Shengjing City was closed, some people at the forefront were still insisting on theorizing with the officers and soldiers. And some can only reluctantly go back. But the people behind didn't know what was going on, and they didn't want to retreat. As a result, you can't advance, and you can't retreat.

The coachman was busy talking back.

"Girl, the gate of the city was opened, but for some reason, it was almost time, and the door was still closed. The big guys can't get out, and I guess the people outside can't get in. How good is that? ”

Wanying also felt strange that the door of Shengjing was closed for no reason like this, unless it was an extraordinary matter.

When I was puzzled, there seemed to be a commotion behind me.

A group of people and two carriages came this way, and there were officers and soldiers driving a way ahead. The already crowded flow of people was even more crowded. But they didn't dare to say anything.

Those two carriages, at a glance, you can tell that they are not ordinary people can ride. One of them, Wan Ying recognized as Wei Qingzhi, the waiter of the Ministry of Works. The latter one is even more luxurious. The body is pitch black, and three horses with shiny coats are pulled in front. On the body of the carriage, you can see the word "Yu" printed with darker eyes. This should be the car of Murong Yu, the prince of Yu.

Wanying thought to herself, I'm afraid she won't be able to get out of Shengjing with her ability like this. It's better to beg Wei Qingzhi.

Think of it. She said hello to her mother-in-law and got out of the carriage. Go over there.

The flow of people was so crowded that even if the officers and men shouted shouts, the two carriages could only move at a turtle speed. After a while, Wanying walked in front of the car.

Explaining his identity and intention to the guards, it didn't take long for a personal trot to meet Wanying.

The personal entourage that Wanying recognized, called Shi Mingli, has been following Wei Qingzhi, and he is quite embarrassed. I didn't dare to slack off, so I hurriedly bowed.

"Such a trivial matter, just call anyone, how dare you bother Shi Ye to come in person."

Shi Mingli knew that Wanying was now popular, and she could speak in front of many dignitaries, so she was naturally polite. Hearing her call herself "master", you can see that Wanying is also quite sophisticated, not the kind of lord who is arrogant when he is in power.

"The last time Miss Wanying came to our house, the lord was full of praise for the girl, and this happened to happen again, so he specially asked me to come to see the girl. I'm also worried that the other little guys don't have long eyes and snub the girl, which is not good. I came by myself, and I didn't have to worry about anything. ”

smiled gently, hurriedly bowed again, and thanked Shi Mingli. He was a little embarrassed, but he also followed Wei Qingzhi's personal companionship, and he dealt with it with several courtesies.

"Shi Ye, what's going on today, why hasn't the city gate been opened at this hour? But what happened? ”

Shi Mingli frowned, pulled Wanying aside, and whispered: "There is a plague in Wenxian County, this epidemic is very terrible, it is infected, only a day or two, people will die." Hundreds of people have died now, most of them laborers in the CCB Palace. It is better for the girl to stay in the city to avoid catching the epidemic. And the prince of Nayu took the initiative to ask the saint to go to the throne, and our lord couldn't stay out of the matter, so he had to go. ”

When Wan Ying heard the plague in Wen County, only a day or two people would not work, and hundreds of people had already died, her head began to buzz, and her hands and feet began to tremble. I only felt that my throat was dry and my eyes were sore. The "knock" in my heart is like a drum.

Mother Xu is still in Wenxian! The gates of the city were shut, and she could not come through. The plague is so fast, how can she escape!

She immediately remembered when she was ten years old, when her grandmother died. I was just like now, and my limbs were shaking.

Thinking of this, Wan Ying hurriedly grabbed Shi Mingli's arm and involuntarily exerted her strength. He said very anxiously: "Shi Ye, the little girl has relatives in Wen County, can you help me talk to Lord Wei and take me out of the city together!" ”

Shi Mingli looked at Wanying's deeply frowning brows and anxious eyes, feeling that he was like meat on coals, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back.

He came to persuade her not to go out of the city, but after she finished speaking, she had to go out of the city. I was at a loss for a moment. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Lord Yu's carriage slowly approaching, and hurriedly said:

"Miss Wanying, this closing of the city gate is the emperor's will, only those of us who have the emperor's order can go out. It's also difficult for our lord to make the decision, should the girl go and beg that one? ”

Wanying followed Shi Mingli's gaze and saw the tall black carriage, and without saying a word, she squeezed over there with her skirt.

On the streets at the gates of the city, people who wanted to go out of the city were shoulder to shoulder. Wanying struggled to push the crowd away with her thin hands, but with each walk, the flow of people brought her back a little.

Wan Ying felt like a person with a bad water nature swimming in the sea, and Lord Yu's carriage was the shore beach in front. She was in danger of drowning at any moment, but there was hope, so she had to do her best.

I don't know how long it took, when she was finally about to reach the beach, a small sedan chair also broke through the crowd and reached Murong Yu's carriage.

The two guards stopped Wanying and the small sedan chair.

"What people! Don't come any closer! ”

"You don't have long eyes, we can't recognize the sedan chair of Miss Wen Xiaoqian of Xiangyuan?" A girl dressed as a second-class maidservant in the Mercy Garden, with her waist inserted, pointed at the guard and scolded her.

Xiaoqian got out of the sedan chair, lifted the curtain and walked out, still so beautiful and lovely.

"Lijing, don't be rude. The eldest brother of the guard, the little girl is in a hurry to find the prince, and please bother. ”

The guard also knew that Wen Xiaoqian was now a celebrity in front of Lord Yu, and he didn't know whether to let her in or not. I was humiliated like this little maid like this, and I felt disgraced, ashamed and angry.

Wanying couldn't control them, so they were still deadlocked, and they went inside with a puff of smoke.

The attention of several other guards was all on Wen Xiaoqian's side, and suddenly they saw a small figure come over.

"Hey! Don't run! Stop me! ”

Wanying was petite and agile, and soon arrived in front of the carriage.

Seeing that the guards were about to catch up, they hurriedly shouted: "Lord Yu, the servants are asking to see you!" ”

And Wen Xiaoqian saw that someone rushed in, and she didn't care about the guard anymore, and also shouted loudly: "Lord, Xiaoqian wants to see you!" ”
