Chapter 63
Lu Ming carried Jing Chen all the way, and it was not until she came to a remote inn that Lu Ming let her go. Jing Chen looked at the sweat on his forehead and couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself.
"Hire a carriage to-morrow, and if you go on like this, you will fall before you reach Bodu." Jing Chen teased.
"Okay, but for now, it's about fixing your injuries. After this day, it's time to change the dressing. Lu Ming looked at Jing Chen's face and hesitated.
"But..... I'll look at it. ”
"No, you have to change the dressing, go to the store to see if there are any female dependents, this matter is decided." Lu Ming rushed into the store.
Jing Chen followed behind him, silent.
After settling down, Jing Chen was in the room preparing to change his dressing, and he heard a knock on the door just halfway through his clothes. She was busy getting dressed and going to the door, but she saw a woman standing outside the door, bowing to her.
"Madam, the official told me to come and help you with the medicine." The old woman looked humble, looking like a loyal and honest person, Jing Chen put her mind at ease.
After taking the medicine, the old woman bowed down and said goodbye, and Jing Chen thanked her. She wanted to reward others, but she came out in a hurry and was penniless.
The old woman seemed to see her scarcity, and said with a smile, "The official gave the reward, you can rest well." ”
On this day, his heart was under great pressure, and when he finally relaxed, Jing Chen felt exhausted, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
I don't know how long she slept, but there was a knock on the door, and she woke up.
"Who is it?" Jing Chen's tone was not good.
"It's me, Jing Chen, open the door." Lu Ming lowered her voice.
It's so late, how can Lu Ming ...... Jing Chen muttered in his heart, but he still got up to open the door for him.
"Is there something going on?"
"Nope." Lu Ming flashed in and tied the latch to the door.
"What about you...... You don't want to live here...... are you" Jing Chen looked at Lu Ming's style.
"Of course, we can only act as husband and wife outside, firstly to save money, and secondly, for the sake of safety."
Jing Chen was speechless. But there was nothing to refute.
In the end, Lu Ming slept on the ground, and Jing Chen lay on the bed but had insomnia.
The sound of Lu Ming's even breathing came, and she was in a trance for a moment, not knowing where she was.
During the day, she can feel better, but at night, in the dead of night, she can always think of Shangguan Yi'er's voice and smile, the way she smiles at you, the way she refuses to leave, and even the bad temper, these are deeply imprinted in Jing Chen's mind.
The adoptive child knew the kindness of her parents, and now that she is separated from her daughter, she has experienced this kind of pain.
On the second day, the two packed up and began to hurry again, this time it was much smoother, and there were no pursuers. But Lu Ming still said that he couldn't take it lightly.
In this way, the two of them hid all the way, slept in the open air, and came to Pingcheng.
The moment he stepped into Pingcheng, Yin Jingchen couldn't help but sigh, things are not people.
Pingcheng is still so prosperous, people are still busy with food, clothing, housing and transportation, she is in it, shuttling through the traffic. She's just a passerby, not anyone's landscape.
She didn't know if Heiseong was still a second hometown in her heart. But the familiar street corners, the familiar shops, and even the familiar cries reminded her that she had lived here.
She has feelings for this place, but she doesn't want to mention it in her heart.
Lu Ming could see that she was uncomfortable. "Would you like to go with you?" ”
Jing Chen shook her head, she didn't want to make a big fuss, she didn't want Shangguan Jun to grasp her whereabouts.
The two stayed in an inn in Pingcheng as husband and wife as usual. Lu Ming knew that Jing Chen still knew someone here, and he had a concern, so he didn't rush to leave.
That night, Jing Chen lay on the bed and pretended to sleep, Lu Ming sighed and threw out a ball of paper to Jing Chen's body.
Jing Chen was surprised: "What is this?"
"Just open it and see." Lu Ming is idle and has a casual attitude.
Jing Chen laid out the paper and opened it to a map. looked at Lu Ming suspiciously.
"If you look closely, you can't guess where?"
The princess's mansion is definitely not, and neither is the Shangguan Mansion, so it may be the Xu Mansion.
Jing Chen pondered carefully for a while, and blurted out: "Xu Fu? ”
Lu Ming smiled but said nothing.
"How do you have a map of Xu's Mansion?"
"Strictly speaking, it can't be regarded as Xu's mansion, this is Li Yuni's residence, the Xu family's house. You won't see anyone here, but Li Yuni will still meet you. ”
Jing Chen wants to say that you really know me.
Jing Chen took the map and wanted to thank him, but Lu Ming had already turned around, Jing Chen wanted to ask him if he was asleep, but he endured it but stopped.
After Li Yunizi came back from Shangjing, she has been living here and has not returned to Xufu because he doesn't want his parents to worry, and he doesn't want to listen to other people's gossip. After returning, Mrs. Shangguan often wrote to her to inquire about the condition of her two children, and each time she would ask her to take good care of herself, and she was firm in her attitude, and she would never allow the woman to enter the Shangguan Mansion on the day she came. It's like reassuring her.
The moment Li Yuni saw Jing Chen, her jaw dropped in shock. Looking at the woman in front of her, she would never be connected with today's queen mother.
Li Yuni was very distressed, and hugged Jingchen to wipe her tears.
"How could it be you? Jing Chen, am I not dreaming? ”
"Second sister-in-law, this is not a dream." Jing Chen couldn't help but choke.
"Who are you here with, and why are you dressed like this?" Li Yuni looked her up and down.
"The second sister-in-law said that it was a long story, and I couldn't stay longer, so I left in two days."
"Go back to the capital," Li Yuni asked suspiciously.
"No, go to Bodu, maybe I have a chance to meet Ying'er, does the second sister-in-law have something I need to bring to her?"
"It's not a safe place to go to Bodu, and if anyone knows you're there, it's not a trivial matter. Did Yu Xianlong accompany you back?"
Jing Chen shook his head, "Yu Xianlong has been exiled. ”
"What did you say, what happened, how could you ......"
Jing Chen interrupted her, "Second sister-in-law, I came to visit you, don't mention others anymore." ”
Li Yuni saw that she had something unspeakable and didn't ask. While promising Jing Chen, he invited her to the inner hall.
The two of them saw Jing Chen flying over, and gathered around Jing Chen and called for his aunt. Jing Chen picked up the small one, and it was a little difficult. Tears unconsciously swirled in the circles of the eyes.
She kissed the little girl's face, and the little girl asked Jing Chen softly, "Auntie, is the little sister here too?"
Jing Chen shook his head, "My sister is too young to come out yet, and when you fight like this, you can come out to play." ”
"Did the little aunt come with Uncle Emperor?" The child waited for Jing Chen's reply with an innocent face.
Jing Chen was hesitant, and Li Yuni could see that Jing Chen was uncomfortable. Played a round field
"How can your emperor's uncle come, the little aunt is also tired, you go out to play, my mother will take the little aunt to see our new home."
The child happily agreed and ran away.
"Is it awkward to have a falling out with the third child?"
"We may not be as awkward as this time."
"Isn't something big going on?" Li Yuni was concerned.
"We don't have to go out of the gate, and we don't know what is going on in the court."
Jing Chen knew in her heart that Li Yuni didn't know what was going on in the court, and I was afraid that she didn't want to know all the news related to Shangguan Han.
"It's not a big deal, it's probably because our positions are different."
Li Yuni still wanted to persuade her, but she stopped thinking about her current situation. Introduce Jing Chen into the inner room.
"Since you're not in a hurry to leave, it's better to stay here tonight." Li Yuni pleaded.
Jing Chen hesitated, and Li Yuni said again: "I'll go and inform my sister-in-law, let's get together together, okay?" ”
Yes, I don't know when we will see each other again, Jing Chen agreed.
"Second sister-in-law, can you please go to the inn where I live to inform my companion, I won't go back today, so as not to worry about me."
Li Yuni agreed, and Jing Chen personally wrote a letter and handed it over to a guest surnamed Lu at the inn.
Li Yuni recalled the person surnamed Lu in her mind, and finally came to the conclusion that most of this person was Lu Ming. But Lu Ming has long been monitored by Shangguan Jun, how can he still run here, and now looking at Jingchen's situation, there must be something jaw-dropping happening.
Jing Chen didn't want to say it, Li Yuni didn't ask, and sent someone to Shangguan's Mansion to deliver a letter to Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi came a little late, there was a child with a fever, she couldn't take care of it, and the child had a fever, so she was relieved to come out. As soon as I came in and saw Jing Chen standing in the courtyard of the Xu Mansion, I couldn't help but be stunned.
Almost trotting over, holding Jing Chen's hand and getting excited.
"Yuni didn't say you came, I wasn't in such a hurry to come, if I knew you were coming, I would have to come."
Jing Chen shook his head, "Sister-in-law, it's okay, I know you're busy." Now I'm afraid you're the freest and can do what you want. ”
Chu Yunxi also sighed. "Yes, it's better to find something to do for yourself than to be cranky and mess around."
Li Yuni gathered people to set the meal, and when she saw that the two were still standing in the courtyard, she shouted, "Come in, I know you haven't seen you for a long time, and it's not bad for this meeting, let's talk while eating." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, still familiar second sister-in-law. Over the years, things have changed, some people have been changing, and some people have not changed anything. Li Yuni is like this, she is still that cheerful character.
The table was full of Jing Chen's favorite dishes, and Li Yuni ordered someone to prepare soju. He poured wine for Jing Chen and Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi looked at Li Yuni and quipped. "Second sister-in-law, why do we have to drink it, I can't drink it."
"I know you can't drink, but Jing Chen came here so far away, and I don't know when and when we will meet again, let's get drunk and rest."
"Okay" Jing Chen also raised his glass.
"Why are you following her," Chu Yunxi pulled Jing Chen.
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, this cup of Jingchen respects you, I can know you two, Jingchen is in vain in this life."
Chu Yunxi couldn't persuade them, so he simply let them be willful. Since meeting Jing Chen, this is the first time she has seen her liberated nature.
Chu Yunxi also cooperated with them to take a sip, and the wine in his mouth was hot. She still remembers the scene when Shangguan Yu tricked her into drinking for the first time. He said it was a freshly brewed fruit wine, not spicy, but when she tasted it, she choked and coughed. She complained about him, and he laughed. Touching her head and spoiling her in every way.
Now, she and him are separated, he lives in her memory, every time she dreams back at midnight, his smile and his every move are so unforgettable to her.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunxi picked up the wine glass and drank it all.....
