Chapter 235: Appointment
In the end, Wang Jibao was taken back by Zhu Linxi in the Baozhu Courtyard.
After returning to the Baozhu Courtyard, a meal of chickens and dogs jumped.
Zhu Linxi asked someone to invite Lang Zhong to prescribe some qi tonic medicine to Wang Xibao. used the ointment that Lu Yuan gave Wang Jibao, and Zhu Linxi personally rubbed Wang Jibao for a while, so that her red, swollen and bruised knees could be slightly reduced, but they couldn't completely improve for a while.
Looking at Wang Jibao with a haggard face and swollen eyes into goldfish eyes, Zhu Linxi didn't mention how distressed he was.
He didn't say anything superfluous. is to hug Wang Jibao and pat her back, like coaxing a child. And in the next few days, he also tried to find time to accompany Wang Jibao, and when she was fine, he massaged her legs and compressed her eyes.
Fortunately, Wang Jibao didn't drill any brains, and her spirit recovered well.
Then there are the first seven, and there are fifteen to kneel. She couldn't let Zhu Linxi worry about her. So I cheered up and found something to do for myself to distract myself.
Because Xia Chenyu and his party are still fleeing, the entire Yongdu is not peaceful. And there are too many people who need to be liquidated during this period. The whole Yongdu was in chaos.
In addition to the Yujun Palace, the Jinxiang Marquis Mansion, the Chengguo Mansion, the Dingguo General's Mansion, etc., there are many families who participated in this rebellion.
Some of them had already fled when they saw that the situation was not good, but the vast majority of them were still arrested and put in prison in the criminal department. All of a sudden, the prison of the Criminal Department was overcrowded.
On this day, Wang Jibao received an unexpected invitation, which was the fourth princess Xia Yiru.
The place where she was invited this time was in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and it happened that Wang Jibao also planned to go to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to burn a few pillars of incense for the Empress Dowager Jiang to pray for blessings, so she readily agreed.
Since Wang Jibao's knees have not fully recovered, she is sitting on the mountain on her shoulders this time. And in the whole process of burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, it needs to be supported by good days and beautiful scenery. But Wang Jibao still completed a whole set of blessings for the Empress Dowager Jiang.
Seeing that the appointed hour was almost up, Wang Jibao asked her to carry her to the pavilion arranged on the back mountain.
When she came to the pavilion, she saw Xia Yiru and Zhan Zijun from a distance.
Xindao: It's really fate with the two of them. I have met them in a private meeting before, and it is not a single time, but now I actually see these two coming together openly. This can't but be said to be a kind of fate between the two.
Wang Jibao was helped off the shoulder, and said from afar: "Fourth cousin." ”
"Sister Bao, I'm sorry to let you go all the way this way. I really don't know where to ask you to. Xia Yiru looked at Wang Jibao's inconvenience and said apologetically.
"Cousin, you're welcome, if you hadn't asked me to come here, I would have chosen a time to come here to pray for my aunt and grandmother in the near future. This time I came to the time a few days earlier. After Wang Jibao replied, she asked again: "I don't know what my cousin asked me to do this time?" ”
Xia Yiru was a little embarrassed and said: "You also know, I don't even have the position of princess now, I'm just a commoner, so I can't inquire about many things, so naturally I can't know." Me, I just wanted to ask Xie Xuan how is now? After all, it was a husband and wife, and if possible, she still wanted to meet Xie Xuan.
Because Xie Xuan was involved in rebellion, he also had an adulterous affair with Concubine Zhuang and brought a green hat to Emperor Yongsheng for ten years, so Emperor Yongsheng was angry and took away the princess position of Xia Yiru, who concealed the truth.
She's just a civilian now. Because of this, Xia Yiru has no identity to go to the palace to cry for Empress Dowager Jiang. There is no chance to meet Wang Jibao.
This time, she really couldn't think of asking who was better. Now her own brothers and sisters avoid her like a plague god. There was really no way, so she thought of this cousin who was not very familiar with her.
"With all due respect, cousin should not go to see Xie Xuan at this time. You're finally out of him, and you're still with your beloved. Whoever it is for, he should never be seen again. Wang Jibao didn't expect that at this time, Xia Yiru would still care about Xie Xuan. It seems that there is still a ten-year relationship between husband and wife.
"I, I always feel that I am sorry for him, and I did not have the responsibility of being a wife." Some people in her heart have always been Zhan Zijun, and she always felt that she was stealing people behind Xie Xuan's back, so she wanted to say sorry to Xie Xuan. In addition, I also want to make up for Xie Xuan as much as possible to see if there is anything I can do for Xie Xuan.
Wang Jibao smiled and said seriously: "In this family affair between the two of you, it is really impossible to talk about who is sorry for whom. Don't bother yourself. Now for the two of you, it may be back to square one. Cousin, forget about that person, find a place where no one knows you with Gongzi Zhan, and live your own life. ”
Seeing that Xia Yiru was still a little ignorant, Wang Jibao had no choice but to remind: "Xie Xuan has always had someone else in his heart. The reason why he married you is all because of the marriage given to you by your cousin. He still wants to use the status of the four colts to act cheaply for him. So it's time to put it down. ”
The matter of Xie Xuan and Concubine Zhuang is a secret, and Wang Jibao can't make it clear to Xia Yiru about this matter, so he mentioned it vaguely.
Whether she understood it or not, Xia Yiru nodded, which was regarded as a reply to Wang Xibao.
It is not convenient for Wang Jibao to stay here for too long, she has to go back early, so as not to be worried by her family.
After all, the entire Yongdu is not completely stable now. At this time, there are many people fleeing in all directions, and naturally there are many people fishing in troubled waters for their own purposes, which makes Yongdu even more chaotic. For this reason, Zhu Linxi repeatedly told Wang Jibao to go early and return early.
Wait for Wang Jibao to be carried down the mountain with a shoulder and get into his carriage. The little flash she was holding in her arms kept screaming, and at the same time stretched out a small paw to identify it.
Wang Jibao frowned, there was a stranger's smell in the car.
"Who?" Wang Jibao shouted, "If you don't want to be killed by my people, come out by yourself." ”
Without letting Wang Jibao wait for a long time, a familiar voice came from the bottom of the carriage, more precisely, a familiar address to her: "Wang Xiaoba, it's me." ”
Cheng Puyu.
"Good day, beautiful scenery, surround this place for me, don't let anyone get near here." Wang Jibao commanded loudly outside.
"Yes." Liangchen and Meijing heard the seriousness of Wang Jibao's voice, and knew that something must have happened, so Wang Jibao would be so cautious. But just receiving orders and not talking too much is a habit they have developed over the years.
Seeing that her people had already acted according to her instructions, Wang Jibao hugged Xiao Shan and got out of the carriage with difficulty.
She didn't look under the carriage curiously, but she also knew that Cheng Puyu must be lying under the carriage at this time.
"Get into the carriage yourself." Wang Jibao said in a low voice.
Cheng Puyu responded in a low voice, "Hmm". Then after a while of Suosuo's voice, Wang Xibao saw Cheng Puyu, dressed as a woman, get out of the car from under the car, and got into Wang Xibao's carriage extremely quickly.
Wang Jibao glanced around vigilantly and found no abnormality. She gently stroked Flash's back a few more times, and Flash didn't make any warning sounds. Only then did Wang Jibao say to Liangchen and Meijing: "Help me get into the carriage and tell everyone to go home." Also, you two got in the car to take care of me. ”
Wang Jibao will not stay alone with Cheng Puyu. Not to mention that Cheng Puyu's identity is sensitive now, even if men and women stay alone in the same carriage, it is not in accordance with the rules. Not to mention that if Zhu Linxi knew about this matter, he would be jealous. Therefore, Wang Jibao had to be cautious.
"Yes."
When the curtain of the carriage was lifted and the scenery was lifted, I was not too surprised to see a person in the corner of the spacious carriage with his head bowed and his face clearly visible, and wearing dirty coarse cloth women's clothes. They helped Wang Jibao to enter, and protected Wang Jibao behind the two.
When the curtain was lowered, Wang Jibao ordered outside: "Let's go, let's go home." ”
The coachman replied, "Yes, Princess." ”
After a while, the carriage started slowly.
There was a surprisingly quiet moment in the carriage, and no one spoke.
When he was about to arrive at the city gate, Cheng Puyu, who was sitting in the corner, tightened his body, and he knew that it was time for the city gate to be inspected next.
Now the whole Yongdu is in a hurry, and even the slightest suspicious person will be taken away. What's more, he is still a prisoner of the authentic court.
Cheng Puyu raised her head and looked at Wang Jibao.
Seeing that Wang Jibao glanced at him, he didn't say anything, so he clenched his fists a little uncomfortably.
In fact, Wang Jibao wants to laugh every time she sees Cheng Puyu's appearance. Any man dressed as a man can feel weird.
In fact, Cheng Puyu is very good-looking. It stands to reason that dressing up as a woman is okay in appearance. But he is tall and big, and because he is not familiar with women's usual words, deeds, sitting postures, etc., it is easy for people to see the clues.
The quieter it is, the more unstable Cheng Puyu's heart becomes. He didn't know what Wang Jibao would do, and he didn't know if Wang Jibao would help him with his bad feelings when he was a child. However, he is now with no way out, and he can only gamble.
Cheng Puyu didn't know that his father's heart would be so big, and he could even do such a big rebellious thing.
But because of the heart of a beloved son, Cheng Kangcheng and his wife did not let Cheng Puyu participate in it. And before going to the summer palace, he sent him out of Yongdu and to his grandmother's home in the suburbs of Yongdu.
Later, Cheng Puyu learned that Yongdu had rebelled. He felt faintly uneasy, and he suddenly understood why his father and mother had sent him away at this time.
Cheng Puyu's heart was extremely disturbed.
From the bottom of his heart, he hopes that his father and mother can succeed. Although it was a bit rebellious, it was his own father. In addition, he felt that it was too dangerous for his father and mother to do this, and if this failed, their whole family would be charged with being a rebellious minister and a thief.
