Chapter 360: The Jade Seal of the Country
The door opened, and no one could have imagined standing outside the courtyard. The man was led all the way to the main courtyard by her mother-in-law, and when she reached the back room, she lifted her cloak from her head to her feet, revealing her true face.
"Qing'er, why are you?" Mu Yunge was taken aback, how did Qing'er come out of the palace on this big night?
Qing'er blessed her body: "Princess, Qing'er was ordered to come to see and send this thing to the princess." ”
"What is it?" Mu Yunge looked at the box in her hand and subconsciously frowned.
The box is not large, a little larger than the palms closed. Qing'er is held in the palm of her hand, and the boxy box is made with a cold light, reflecting the shape of the five fingers.
Qing'er glanced at her, got up with a smile, put the box on the table, and opened the lid with her hand.
The candles were bright, and the bright yellow lining in the box made everyone in the room lose their minds for a moment. Wrapped in a bright yellow lining, it is the seal of a mutton fat jade. On the seal is a flying dragon with teeth and claws, and the dragon's four claws grasp the cuboid below, which is very vivid.
When everyone saw this, they all gasped in unison.
This thing Mu Yunge had seen before, and it was stored in the Zhaode Palace, and it was kept by Emperor Wu himself.
In the Eastern Wei Dynasty, it has another name that everyone covets, called the Jade Seal of the Kingdom!
"Jade seal? Where did you get that? Mu Yunge held the jade seal of the country, and his heart was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Qing'er didn't hide it from her, and explained bluntly: "It was sent by the white girl to the slave." These days, the white girl has been living in the palace, she thought of a way to get this jade seal, and asked the slave maid to send this jade seal to the princess's hands, and in the future, the princess will have a place to use! ”
Mu Yunge knew that Yun Rao had lived in the palace of Great Wei for a period of time, and her pseudonym on the rivers and lakes was Bai Jiu, so as soon as she heard the three words Bai Girl, she knew that Qing'er came on Yun Rao's orders.
's mother entered the palace and didn't contact the people of Momen, thinking that she must have found the old people back then to settle down in the palace.
Now that Emperor Wu is seriously ill and the harem is heavily guarded, how did his mother send Qing'er out when he was so tense? It doesn't matter if you send someone away, you also stole something as important as the jade seal of the country, if Emperor Wu finds that the jade seal is gone, it must be another catastrophe. Besides, how is Yun Rao sure that she can use it in the future?
"Qing'er, tell me honestly, how did you get out of the palace?" Mu Yunge stared at Qing'er's eyes, and there was a sharp light in his eyes.
Her gaze was too intimidating, and Qing'er unconsciously lowered her head: "Qing'er came out of the secret passage." This secret passage enters from behind the cabinet in the side hall of the square hall under the corner gate, connecting the ruined temple in the south of the city, which is very secret. The white girl walked through once with the slave maid, so the slave and maid remembered. ”
"Since you know the secret passage, why didn't you leave the palace before?" It was Peiying who spoke, she was beautiful and condensed, and she didn't understand it very much.
Qing'er was silent for a moment, and finally raised her head: "The white girl was as kind to the slave maid in the palace back then, and she didn't avenge the white girl, and the slave and maid will not leave!" ”
"The Empress is dead, Your Majesty is also dying, you can leave. If you want to leave, I'll arrange for someone to take you out of the city at once. Mu Yunge closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were as clear as water.
Qing'er was blessed again, but her expression was resolute: "Now that the white girl is alone in the palace, it is a land of tigers and wolves, and the slave maid can't let her be in danger alone." The slave and maid are not talented, and they have some foundations in the palace over the years, if the slave and maid do not help her, she will not be able to complete those things herself. The slave maid still wants to go back, and the princess's kind slave maid understands it! ”
This was said very loudly, and the hidden courage was even more convincing, Mu Yunge took a step back, lifted the hem of his clothes, and slowly knelt down: "I can't enter the palace all the time, mother, she...... I'll leave it to you! ”
"Princess......" Qing'er was stunned by her move, and when she reacted, she immediately took a step back, knelt on the ground with a puff and kowtowed: "Princess, you have tormented the slave!" ”
Pei Ying helped Mu Yunge up, Pei Lian also quickly pulled Qing'er up from the ground, Pei Ying persuaded in a low voice: "Princess, no one in the palace recognizes Mrs. Rong, there is no chaos." It's you now, you have to be careful with every move, don't fall into any tricks! ”
Mu Yunge nodded tearfully, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then turned his head to look at Qing'er: "If you choose to go back to the palace, or return the same way, be careful." ”
"Yes." Qing'er put the cloak back on, left the Mu family through the side door, and turned back to the palace the same way.
After Qing'er left, Mu Yunge immediately asked Peiying to put away the jade seal and hide it in a safe place, while he sat at the desk and passed a letter to Wei Shi.
Originally, according to the plan, after exposing the affairs of Wei Yin and Pei Yongtu, she was going south to join Wei Shi, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, and Emperor Wu couldn't withstand such a huge stimulus, and suddenly fell unconscious, disrupting the whole plan. However, fortunately, Emperor Wu used up the last shred of reason before he fell ill, and asked An Bohou to quickly recall Wei Shi and pass the book quickly, and tomorrow night, the holy decree will reach Wei Shi's hands. Three days later, Wei Shi will definitely be able to return to Beijing, and at that time, it will be the best opportunity to clean up Wei Yin and Pei Yongtu.
The carrier pigeon flew south with her secret message, and all that was left was boundless silence. Accustomed to Wei Shi by his side, he is really a little uncomfortable with this kind of lonely moment.
Mu Yunge was bored, practiced the light skills he learned a few times, wrote a few more chapters, and finally put his pen to paper.
Pei Ying also happened to urge her: "Princess, General Nangong will leave for the northwest tomorrow, rest early, and then go to see her off in good spirits!" ”
"Nangong's trip is probably not smooth." Mu Yunge shook his head and sighed: "I really can't figure it out, how could Your Majesty decide to let Nangong Jin escort Mu Ruyan back to China!" ”
On the second day after deciding to let Nangong Jin return to the northwest to guard the border, Emperor Wu made a decree to let Nangong Jin escort Mu Ruyan back to China. After arriving in the northwest, he was sent by the pioneer officer Zhang Lin, who clearly said that Nangong Jin and Mu Ruyan were both women, and the road did not look abrupt; Secretly, everyone also speculated: out of the northwest and west, forty miles to the west, crossing the national border, at that time it was already stepping into the land of Zhao, even if something happened, the Eastern Wei did not have much responsibility, the picture was to save the two countries.
It's just that Nangong Jin has always been at odds with Mu Ruyan, let her escort, Mu Ruyan will inevitably suffer a lot, whether Emperor Wu is afraid that Mu Ruyan will lose, or whether he is afraid that she will be unscathed, it's really hard to say......
Because of this, not only Mu Yunge didn't understand, but the Manchu Dynasty was also full of doubts!
However, no matter how much you guess, early the next morning, as long as the officials in the court had positions, they all came to the city gate without exception and came to bid farewell to Nangong Jin.
Nangong Jin was wearing a white robe, her hair was tied with crown jade, her posture was heroic, the purple spear in her hand showed a terrifying cold light, and the head of the spear turned slightly, bringing out endless killing intent, which made people dare not look at it.
Now that Emperor Wu is seriously ill, Wei Yin has been convicted, and her identity and position are Mu Yunge's biggest, and she is Nangong Jin's best friend, so she naturally walks side by side with Nangong Jin. The two chatted while walking, mentioning Lin Juzheng, Nangong Jin couldn't help but sigh, but there was no anxiety between his eyebrows and eyes a few days ago.
She is now calm and can face this result calmly. Not only that, but she also has hope in her heart, now that Emperor Wu is sick, although Mu Yunge is a woman, she is actually the most powerful person in the court, since she agreed to her request, of course she will help her dream come true!
"It's a long way to the northwest, I can't help much, you have to take care." Mu Yunge took Nangong Jin's hand and told him again and again.
Nangong Jin shook her head with a smile, laughing at her for being worried: "I'm a martial artist, so there's nothing to worry about, but it's because you're here in Kyoto that people are not at ease." ”
"Now that the situation is gradually stabilizing, I have nothing to worry about." Mu Yunge comforted her: "Don't forget, I am now a Chinese scholar and a princess, one person is above ten thousand people, who dares to do anything to me?" "The only one who did his hands and feet was also eliminated by her.
This is true, Nangong Jin showed a relaxed smile: "Yes, King Yu-His Highness-"
As she spoke, she even blinked her eyes and asked with a playful expression: "Speaking of which, when I return to Beijing next time, I'm afraid I'm going to be a godmother, right?" ”
"Okay, you also learned badly from Ling Xuan Shuhan!" Mu Yunge's face was suddenly flushed, and he was so ashamed that he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to pull her waist, Nangong Jin was afraid of itching, and dodged again and again, but the civil and military officials watched from behind, and they didn't dare to move too much, and they could only hold back if they scratched her, it looked so funny, Mu Yunge stopped at this time, and scolded with a smile: "When you become a parent, see how I clean you up, you and Lin Ergongzi have been separated for many years, I'm afraid that when the time comes, they will stick together every day, it's as good as honey and oil, right?" ”
"You have to take care of it!" Nangong Jin grinned, seeing that the city gate was already behind her, she stopped, smiled, and instructed solemnly: "Yun Ge, my net worth and life can be entrusted to you!" Please don't be careless! ”
"Don't worry." Mu Yunge nodded, squeezed her palm, and gave her an affirmative answer.
Nangong Jin didn't say much to Mu Yunge anymore, she turned to face the civil and military officials, hugged her fist, turned over on the horse neatly, and said loudly on horseback: "Everyone, send you a thousand miles, and you must say goodbye in the end." Nangong went to the northwest, more than a year and a half, as little as three or two months to return, since there is a period of meeting, you don't have to send more. ”
All the generals also followed her steps, turned over their horses, and the cavalry were all in place, and the less than a thousand generals she brought were neatly lined up behind her, surrounding Mu Ruyan's carriage in the middle, waiting for the order to leave.
By this time it was already daylight, and the sun was radiating a blazing light in the east, and the march should not be delayed for much time, and everyone said goodbye one after another.
Lin Juzheng didn't come to see him off, thinking that the two didn't want to stage a bitter love scene here, so they said goodbye last night.
Nangong Jin sat on the horse, the horsewhip was muffled three times in the air, and the loud departure command was far away to the end of the team. Suddenly, the horses neighed, and the convoy slowly left the capital......
