Chapter 75: Boy, Are You Still Alive?
Hearing Baili Qingcang's words, not to mention those civil and military officials, even Shen Ninghua herself was stunned, she had already thought of a way out for herself, that is, to wait for her to go to Jiangnan to calm down the disaster caused by the plague, and use this merit to ask Baili Qingcang for a grace to break away from the Shen family alone, although it is inevitable that she will be saddled with the name of unfilial piety, but she doesn't care about these.
But I didn't expect that Baili Qingcang would open his mouth to recognize her as a daughter, the daughter of the royal family is not something anyone who wants to be, even if Baili Qingcang opens his mouth, he will face the advice of many courtiers.
Seeing that Shen Ninghua didn't reply for a long time, Baili Qingcang asked again: "Ninghua, are you willing?" ”
Shen Ninghua looked up at him: "Your Majesty, the courtiers are willing." With this grace, she was even more unscrupulous.
"Haha, okay." Baili Qingcang was very happy, and personally bent down to help Shen Ninghua up, "I will make a decree tomorrow to announce to the world, I have another daughter, you should change your name to be my father." ”
Although he didn't know the reason, Shen Ninghua could feel a sincere affection from him: "Your Majesty, there is no urgency to make an order to tell the world, and when the courtiers can come back from Jiangnan alive, when the time comes, I will change my name to you and call you father, and it will not be too late for you to make an order." ”
"What?" Baili Qingcang's hand on her shoulder tightened, "You still want to go to Jiangnan?" He originally thought that Shen Ninghua was going to Jiangnan, just to avoid being involved with the Shen family, he had already sent an excellent reason to leave the Shen family, why did she insist?
"Your Majesty, although Ning Hua is an ordinary boudoir woman, but the righteousness of the family and the country is also understood, if I don't understand medical books and disaster relief is useless, I won't ask to go to Jiangnan, because if I go, I just give one more life, but since I understand medical skills, and Chen Yuanzheng also said that my plague prescription manuscript idea is completely correct, I can't stand idly by."
"There are so many imperial doctors in the palace, tell them the prescription and let them take it to Jiangnan, you are a girl, I don't worry."
Shen Ninghua smiled lightly, her flower-like smile was bright and unusual, and her brisk voice was particularly pleasant in the empty hall: "I want to go to Jiangnan to see the emperor, now that I am the emperor's daughter, how can I be regarded as half a princess, and the people will be very happy to know that the emperor has not given up on them." ”
Baili Qingcang still wanted to refute, but looking at her smiling face, he didn't know what to say, and finally sighed slightly: "You are as stubborn as your mother." I remember that at that time, Xia's family mainly went to the battlefield, and she had to follow her alive and dead, so I was not at ease, so I secretly gave her medicine, so that she overslept and missed the date of the expedition...... Until something happened to the Xia family, she was even more reluctant to deal with me......"
Shen Ninghua looked up in surprise, Baili Qingcang's eyes were full of deep nostalgia and sadness, the emotions in it were complicated and she couldn't understand, at this moment she was very curious, what kind of woman her mother was, who could make this emperor who was only sixty years old forget for so long.
In the end, Baili Qingcang agreed to Shen Ninghua's decision, but he allocated 500 elite soldiers to her, and by the way, he also agreed to Baili Jinchuan's request, and asked him to take a group of imperial doctors to Jiangnan for disaster relief.
There was a problem with the prescription offered by the Shen family, and the people were eager to devour the Shen family's life alive, but before they could react, the news that Shen Ninghua became the righteous daughter of the royal family and assisted the imperial doctor in researching the real plague prescription spread, and many people didn't know whether to hate the Shen family or be grateful for a while.
When they were confused and entangled, another will fell, and Shen Ninghua, who had just been named the county lord by the royal family, and the second prince Baili Jinchuan rushed to Jiangnan for disaster relief.
The procession marched south from Kyoto out of the city gates, and many people knelt down to see each other off, hoping that they would bring good news.
Baili Qingcang was dressed in civilian clothes, standing on the city wall and looking at the distant team, his gaze was long and long, for a long time, until he could no longer see the figure of Shen Ninghua and the others, he retracted his gaze, and stood up with his hands in his hands and said: "Shen Dong, after so many years, you haven't figured it out?" ”
Shen Dong stood against the city wall with a pale face, the hair crown on his head was slightly messy, making him look more and more old and depressed, and when he heard Baili Qingcang's question, he laughed mockingly: "The emperor got what he wanted, and finally recognized Ning Hua as his daughter, is it that after a while, when the Shen family falls, he will directly change her name to Baili Ning Hua?" ”
Baili Qingcang pursed his lips, his eyes were full of cold murderous intent: "No wonder you were toyed with by the Zhao family, did you always think that Shen Ninghua was my daughter?" ”
"Isn't it?" Shen Dong's eyes widened, and his smile became more and more mocking, "I'm going to die anyway, I'm not afraid of bullying you, I haven't touched Xia Jingyan at the beginning, how could she get pregnant, and give birth to an ugly-looking girl?" ”
"Oh, you're stupid! It's really not worthy of Jing Yan, what kind of woman do you think she is? You should still remember that before the Xia family was falsely accused, you pleaded for intercession and got drunk, it was Xia Jingyan who took care of you at that time, and you forgot what happened that night? ”
Shen Dong was stunned, and his thoughts slowly recalled the original ......
"For so many years, you have never believed that Ning Hua is your daughter, or rather, you don't believe it, you don't dare to believe it. After all, because you suspected Jingyan, you acquiesced in Zhao's drugging her and let her die on the day of delivery. You must be so weak that you can't sleep every day. ”
"No, I don't have a weak heart."
Baili Qingcang sneered: "Shen Dong, I will destroy the Shen family, but I will not let you die." Jingyan is such an arrogant woman, she doesn't bother to explain, she doesn't disdain to compromise, she was bent on death, I asked people to send the antidote to her mouth and she didn't take it, so I didn't save her life. You, the culprit, should be guilty for the rest of your life to atone for your sins! ”
Shen Dong stayed in place in a daze, as if he was stupid.
Baili Qingcang waved his hand: "Take him back to the heavenly prison to be guarded, watch him lively, don't let him do anything, and wait for the Lord of Ninghua to come back and deal with it." ”
In the southbound team, Shen Ninghua did not take a carriage, but changed into a riding outfit and rode a horse like Baili Jinchuan, and the four of Bai Wei also drove their horses to follow closely behind.
It had been more than two hours since the horse had been marching quickly, and Baili Jinchuan ordered everyone to rest. The team slowly stopped, Baili Jinchuan jumped down from the horse, handed the reins of the horse to the running guard officer, and walked to Shen Ninghua's horse: "Ninghua, do you want me to help you down?" ”
Seeing the playful smile in his eyes, Shen Ninghua raised his eyebrows slightly: "Don't dare to bother the prince of the county." After speaking, he turned over and dismounted neatly.
Because of the two hours of upheaval, Shen Ninghua's hair looked a little messy, and there was a layer of fine sweat on her forehead, but her eyes were exceptionally bright.
Baili Jinchuan was slightly stunned, and immediately recovered: "If we keep speeding up like this, we can get to Pingcheng in about four days." ”
Shen Ninghua nodded, took the water handed by Hongling and took a sip: "Then keep it at this speed." ”
Baili Jinchuan raised his head: "Can you stand it all the time?" "It's those guards and soldiers, they probably won't be able to climb up when they go to Jiangnan in four days, let alone Shen Ninghua.
"The prince really likes to watch people in the cracks of the door."
"I'm not underestimating you, but on the matter, don't be too reckless, I asked people to prepare a carriage, if you can't stand it, take the carriage."
Shen Ninghua glanced back indifferently, and said indifferently: "Well, if I can't stand it, I'll sit down." ”
Baili Jinchuan stopped talking, but he was a little annoyed in his heart, this girl was too stubborn, and she intended to let her suffer some hardships in her heart, and she would be so reckless in the future, so she stopped talking, and waited for the team to be repaired, and went directly to the horse.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that until the night camp, Shen Ninghua was marching with them immediately, without asking to get off the horse and take the carriage at all.
In the evening, the camp tent was set up, Baili Jinchuan frowned and looked at Shen Ninghua, who was sitting on the side with a normal expression, sighed slightly, took out a box of jade muscle cream from his arms and handed it over: "This is a good medicine for blood circulation and blood stasis, you ask your maid to smear some on you." ”
Shen Ninghua raised her head in some surprise, and her dark eyes fell on Baili Jinchuan's hand: "No, I have prepared my own medicine for the injury, thank you to the second prince." ”
"If you want to take it, you can take it." Baili Jinchuan directly pulled up her sleeves, stuffed the ointment into her hands, and then left quickly.
Bai Wei took the water and put it at Shen Ninghua's feet, and said with some concern: "Miss, wash your face." ”
Shen Ninghua frowned and looked at the ointment in his hand, and handed it to Bizhu on the side: "Put it away." ”
"Yes, miss."
After Shen Ninghua finished washing her face and the tent had been cleaned up, Shen Ninghua went to rest in the tent, Bai Wei helped her pinch her legs, opened her mouth and stopped.
Shen Ninghua noticed her expression and asked, "What's the matter, if you have something to say, just say it." ”
Bai Wei smiled: "Xu is the slave maid is wrong, Miss don't be careful, the slave maid always feels that the second prince cares too much about Miss." ”
Shen Ninghua's eyes moved, and his eyelids lowered slightly.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Bai Wei was a little worried: "Xu is a slave and maid is too careful, Miss doesn't have to take it to heart." ”
Just when she thought that Shen Ninghua couldn't speak, she heard her suddenly say: "Keep some distance from him these days, and wait until Pingping City is separated." ”
"Yes, miss." Bai Wei responded softly and slowly exited the tent.
The tent was quiet, Shen Ninghua turned over and lay down, her eyes were clear without a trace of sleepiness: "It seems that I have to find a way to avoid it." ”
The night passed quickly, and the sky was slightly bright, and everyone packed up their tents and continued on their way. Different from the day before, today, the guards and officers and soldiers accompanying the escort looked at Shen Ninghua with a little more admiration.
Shen Ninghua didn't realize it, turned over and got on the horse and walked forward with everyone.
At this time, in Pingcheng City, Chu Junyi, who was dressed in moon-white clothes, held a long sword shining with cold light in his hand, and blood was falling down the blade.
A strong man sat on the ground and kept staring at his legs and retreated: "I don't dare, I don't dare anymore, you spare me." ”
Chu Junyi coldly hooked the corners of his lips, and his unmodified true face carried a demonic aura: "People eat people, you should die!" ”
The knife fell, and a head rolled on the ground, and then he took out the silk handkerchief, carefully wiped the sword and inserted it into the sheath, took two steps to the side, and bent down to pick up a thin young man: "Boy, are you still alive?" ”
