Chapter 117: Can't Say
Lord Tang's eyes were lowered, and in the wide sleeves of his official robe, he clenched his fists slightly, some things were doomed from the beginning, but he didn't expect that everything would come so quickly.
"I see." The emperor closed the fold and said to Tang with an indifferent expression, "If there is anything in the future, if there is a report, come and tell me, but as for where they will go, you don't have to bother." ”
Lord Tang clenched his fists, bowed and said yes, and then slowly retreated, about to leave here.
Walking to the front of the palace, he turned around, but heard the emperor call him: "Tang Aiqing." ”
Lord Tang quickly turned back: "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”
Xiang Run got up and said, "Don't let the queen know about this matter, and don't disturb the interest of the father and the queen mother in traveling through the mountains and rivers." ”
Lord Tang bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, the old minister is now your minister." After a pause, he asked again, "Your Majesty, what about Ling Out?" “
"They probably won't contact him again." The emperor was resolute in his heart, and said slowly, "Whether Ling Chu has the ability to serve the court or not depends on himself, and if he wants to return to the Bi family, it is not impossible." But if he dwells on the old hatred of the past, instead of the world, I don't want such a minister. ”
Lord Tang responded one by one, and not long after he retreated, another news came into the palace, and the emperor changed his indifferent and cold expression, and went from the Xuanzheng Palace to the Middle Palace.
In the Hanyuan Palace, the queen is holding the little princess in her arms, looking at the spring sprouts in the garden.
The child was less than two months old, and the little ball was lying in the crook of his arm, and the emperor gently hugged his daughter and said with a smile: "The longer you get, the more beautiful you are, like you." ”
Like smoke smiled: "The eyebrows are like the emperor, but this little mouth is from our family." ”
Xiang Run said: "Speaking of family, your brother has already left from Sichuan and Chongqing, and he will be able to arrive in the capital at the end of the month soon, and we will stay with him for a while and ask him to come and see his niece more." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Like smoke is very happy.
"Again, in early autumn, we will return to Sichuan, Chongqing and Ningning." Xiang Run said with a smile, "The people of Sichuan and Chongqing must want to see their queen again." ”
Ruyan respectfully blessed his body: "The concubine is for the people of Sichuan and Chongqing, thank you to the emperor." ”
When the emperor saw that she was happy, he was also happy, and gently hugged his daughter and asked her, "When the time comes, will you go, can you go by yourself?" ”
Ruyan asked: "Your Majesty, when the time comes, can we go around to Lizhou Mansion by the way?" ”
The emperor said, "Naturally. ”
The queen was overjoyed: "I miss Xiaowan very much, she should also give birth, Your Majesty, if you have good news, you have to tell me immediately." ”
The emperor faintly agreed: "I will take care of you for you." ”
He walked to the next flower bed with his daughter in his arms, only to hear himself muttering: "I still want to go to the market in Baisha Town during the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
However, at this moment, the town of Baisha is full of mourning, a fire has taken many lives and burned countless houses, not to mention the onlookers, but also many innocent people who are not involved in their homes.
The people of the nearby villages rushed to see that the town, which had always been prosperous and peaceful, was devastated.
Xu and Aunt Wang found Siyun Pavilion, which was also burned beyond recognition, from the shop to the inner courtyard, there was nothing left.
When I came out of the store, I saw two servant girls who knew each other, and asked someone to use a cart to pull Yue Huaiyin's body back.
They cried miserably, saying that someone saw that the young lady was strangled to death by Ling Chaofeng, and the Xu family and Aunt Wang trembled when they heard it, although they could never get the silver taels from now on, they finally had a little conscience, and helped together to handle Yue Huaiyin's posthumous affairs.
And the town gradually spread that the Lingxiao Inn was empty, and after Ling Chaofeng killed people and set fire, he ran away with his wife and children.
The excited people came to the inn with sticks and smashed the empty shops.
When Su Su and Daqing arrived, everything they could take in the store was robbed, there were no tables, chairs and benches left, the mattress quilts in the upstairs guest rooms were all gone, the doors and windows were crooked, and the stairs were also smashed a few steps, only the depression was miserable, which was chilling.
Su Su burst into tears, she didn't know where Xiaowan and the shopkeeper went, and she didn't know if they would come to pick them up.
Daqing said to her: "Those people are done, they won't come back to make trouble, I will come every day to repair and clean, we will repair the inn, wait here, one day, they will come back." ”
Su Su sobbed and said: "The people here are crazy, I'm afraid that even we will be squeezed in the future, I don't want them to come back, as long as Xiaowan can be safe, the farther they go, the better." ”
Daqing said: "Don't be afraid, we will also leave if it is a big deal, there is fate, we will definitely meet again." ”
At this time, Ling Chaofeng, with his wife and children and Aunt Zhang, had already left Lizhou Mansion by boat, and the big boat floated out of the Baisha River into the river, and they were going to the south.
People who have not been on the boat for a long time are not used to the bumps on the water for a while, Aunt Zhang can't stand it, she is dizzy and weak, Uncle Biao has been by her side, Xiaowan came to this cabin to take a look, full of distress.
As soon as she turned around, Pei'er ran over, ran into the house, touched and touched her grandmother, and Aunt Zhang's complexion improved a lot. He climbed into Aunt Zhang's arms and asked them to play with him.
Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief, told Pei'er not to mess around, and left.
On the deck, Ling Chaofeng was talking to the shipowner, the river wind was howling, and when he saw Xiaowan coming, he took off his clothes and put them on her, and said, "If you have anything to say, go back to the cabin and wait for me to come, it's cold here." ”
The owner of the ship was a friend of Ling Chaofeng, but he smiled very brightly: "I'll go to the back and take a look, you guys should also go back to the cabin earlier, the wind is strong tonight." ”
In this way, on the deck, only the husband and wife were left, and Xiaowan returned the clothes to her husband, and she was carried by him and nestled on his chest.
The sun was gradually setting, and the golden light was sprinkled from the west, and the change came too quickly and suddenly, but Xiaowan could already accept the peace in front of him.
Ling Chaofeng said guiltily: "Wanwan, let you suffer with me." ”
She smiled: "When I was a child, I was beaten every day and every day was worse than death, and I thought that as long as I could get rid of that kind of life, no matter how hard and poor I would be in the future, even if I was displaced, I would try my best to live." ”
Ling Chaofeng smiled and asked, "Did you know the word "upheaval and displacement" before. ”
Xiaowan pouted and said angrily: "People are serious and you feel about life, you know to laugh at me, let me tell you, I can't write these four words now, so what?" ”
Ling Chaofeng kissed her lips and kissed her heavily. Xiaowan said that as long as he is there, she is not afraid of anything, but for Ling Chaofeng, as long as Xiaowan is there, he can be home everywhere.
The two kissed each other and did not stop until the boat shook violently.
Xiao Wan gasped slightly: "Xianggong, let's go to a new place and start again." ”
Ling Chaofeng bowed, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
He had no regrets about what he had done that night in his rage, no matter who had died in it.
But killing people and setting fires is a fact, and it is impossible for him to walk on the road of the world with dignity and integrity, whether they can start again depends on whether the court will investigate it.
Most likely, as soon as they arrived at the next place to settle down, the wanted notices of the imperial court were plastered all over the streets.
"Maybe we're really going to have to be on the verge of being displaced for a while." Ling Chaofeng said, "But I will never let anyone hurt you again, Wanwan, I am here." ”
Xiaowan smiled and frowned: "Now, we still have a son." ”
Ling Chaofeng said incredulously: "I was still on the way back, far away, Pei'er suddenly appeared, caught me, in the blink of an eye, I appeared in the cellar, he told me that you were snatched away." ”
Xiaowan listened and frowned slightly: "But when he ran out, I hadn't been snatched away yet." ”
Ling Chaofeng listened to Xiaowan's words, and said, "Can Pei'er predict the future?" ”
Xiao Wan hurriedly said, "Go and ask him." ”
The couple came to Aunt Zhang's cabin and took their son away, Pei'er looked at her mother greedily, gently pulled Xiaowan's clothes, and prepared to feed.
But Ling Chaofeng said: "You can already eat, from today onwards, you are not allowed to eat milk again." ”
Pei'er looked at her father in shock, tears gathered in her big eyes, she was so aggrieved that she couldn't do it, but he could go to heaven and earth to swallow clouds and spitt fog, but he didn't dare to disobey his father.
He looked at Xiao Wan pitifully, and broke Xiao Wan's heart, in fact, Pei'er is still very young, isn't it, at least Xiao Wan can still hold him now.
She turned her husband's back, opened her clothes, and held Jiao'er in her arms, and her son was immediately happy and ate obediently.
"You can't keep pampering him like this, he looks like he's at least two years old now." Ling Chaofeng said.
"There are a lot of two-year-old babies who are still breastfeeding, I am willing to feed, what are you in a hurry." Xiaowan hugged her son and gently patted him, "I only have these for him, my mother is no longer qualified." Besides, you look at him like he was two years old, but he was only a few days old. ”
Ling Chaofeng had nothing to say, of course he wouldn't be jealous of his son or eat his jealousy, he was worried about Xiao Wan's body.
Pei'er was full, and lay down in Xiaowan's arms with satisfaction, Xiaowan's general had already picked up, lowered his head and kissed his son, and asked: "Pei'er, my mother asked you something, are you honest with us?" If you really can't say it, you can't say it, and we won't ask again. ”
The little guy nodded, looked at his father, and said in a milky voice: "Daddy, Pei'er is still very young, I just look big." ”
Ling Chaofeng couldn't cry or laugh, opened his arms, asked his son to come over, and then asked: "Pei'er, how do you know that they are going to arrest your mother and burn her, can you predict the future?" ”
Pei'er shook her head: "I can hear voices far away, I heard them coming, saying that they were going to burn my mother to death." ”
Ling Chaofeng asked again: "Then do you know what you are, are you a human, a dragon, a god, or a demon?" ”
The little guy smiled and said, "I am the son of my father and mother." ”
This kind of answer is obviously something that can't be said, Xiaowan thought about it, and then asked again: "Then why don't you save your mother directly, but go and find your father?" ”
But he replied to his mother seriously: "I am too young to beat them." ”
What he said was true, but what he said seemed to completely deny the fact that he could go to heaven and earth to swallow clouds and spit water.
Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan glanced at each other, they didn't have to ask anymore, their son couldn't say or couldn't say, whether he could be raised or not, what would happen in the future, it depended on fate.
