Chapter 019: The Verge

When Shen Che found Doctor Xue and sought a way to get out, Jiang Yi had already finished breakfast in the Hehuan Palace, said goodbye to the queen, and walked towards the palace gate.

She remembered what Shen Che said about the alley of East Street at the entrance of the palace, so she just left the palace, and she didn't care about the carriage that sent her before, so she walked towards the alley of East Street.

Finch followed her, also a little trembling, and after walking a few steps, she asked in a low voice, "Madam, what is going on? Why don't we take the carriage back to the other courtyard, but come to this place?"

"You shouldn't know, don't ask, just follow along. Jiang Yi said as he walked, and saw a somewhat dilapidated carriage parked in the alley from a distance.

The carriage didn't seem to be obvious, but she knew the coachman who drove the car, and it was one of the guards at the gate of the Guangming Hall of Yiwang Palace, and this person was Shen Che's henchman.

He didn't break his promise, and sent someone to pick her up.

Jiang Yi was overjoyed, and his walking steps involuntarily accelerated, and he walked to the carriage in three or two steps.

Que'er stepped into the car first, opened the curtain with one hand, and supported her with the other, just as she was about to get into the carriage, she heard a rush of footsteps outside the alley, followed by the majestic and cold voice of the Empress Dowager Qin:

"Surround the mourners!"

Jiang Yi's heart tightened, and she got out of the carriage, her hands involuntarily clenched into fists, very nervous. She knew that Shen Che was not in the carriage, and she also knew that Shen Che might have escaped from the capital by now, but she was still afraid, afraid that he would fall into the hands of the Empress Dowager Qin.

"Empress Dowager, may I ask what you are doing here?" Jiang Yi looked at Empress Dowager Qin and asked, the fierce soldiers around her made her shudder.

"What do you think the mourning family is going to do? The mourning family suspects that Shen Che is plotting against each other and intends to rebel, in order to ensure the peace of my Daning country, the mourning family has to take precautions. Empress Dowager Qin said, "Come on, shoot arrows for the mourning family, the mourning family wants that there is no one alive in the carriage!"

Jiang Yi knew that Empress Dowager Qin would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, she was afraid that Shen Che would take the risk of hiding in the carriage and waiting for the opportunity to move, so she would give such an order.

Shen Che's martial arts skills are good, if he hides in the carriage and takes advantage of the fact that the Empress Dowager Qin is not paying attention, captures the thief and captures the king first, holds the Empress Dowager Qin hostage, and forces these guards to let them go, it will be more than worth the loss for the Empress Dowager Qin.

Therefore, this wave of arrows is necessary, and the offensive is fierce, for fear that the people in the carriage will not die.

Whoosh –

The sound of arrows breaking through the air was heard, grazing the curtain of the carriage or the wall of the carriage, some falling directly to the ground, some hitting the wall of the alley first, and then falling to the ground.

Soon, with a pop, the sound of arrows piercing flesh was heard, and a string of flying blood splattered from the side of the curtain, staining the chariot curtain red. And the people inside were also injured and unable to stabilize their bodies, so they rolled out of it and fell to the ground.

Empress Dowager Qin looked fixedly, but saw that the person who fell to the ground was not Shen Che, but Jiang Yi's personal palace maid, that is, Qi'er. The arrow was stuck right in the heart of the finch, and the blood stained her clothes red, and she was already dead of exhaustion.

Que'er was also afraid of death, and when the Queen Mother brought someone here, she subconsciously lowered the curtain and hid inside, which was just an instinctive reaction of her, even if the Queen Mother searched later, she would be fine.

But I didn't expect that when the Empress Dowager Qin noticed that there were people in the carriage, she didn't go to search, but directly released arrows, and the finch died like this.

And the driver who drove the car had already been controlled by the Empress Dowager Qin's people, and the finch was also dead, and Shen Che didn't know where it was, Jiang Yi was now alone, she was very scared, but she could only tell herself that she couldn't be afraid.

"Someone, take her away to the mourning family. The mourning family doesn't believe it, with her in their hands, this Jiang family and King Yi can not be obedient. The Empress Dowager Qin said this, with a wave of her hand, and soon someone rushed up, dragged Jiang Yi to the palace.

Because of Shen Che's warm route ahead, even if Jiang Yi was arrested, he was already mentally prepared and did not panic.

And she also knew that if she fell into the hands of the Empress Dowager Qin this time, there must be no good fruit to eat, but as long as she remembered Shen Che's tenderness to her, she felt that it was all worth it.

The tragedy of a woman under the imperial power may lie in this.

The dust has settled on the capital. Shen Che fled, Jiang Yi was arrested, and the vassal kings left Beijing one after another after bidding farewell to the Queen Mother, with confusion.

And the last layer of paper between Ning Gong and Yiguo was also completely pierced with Shen Che's departure, and his thoughts were clearly revealed.

Since then, the Empress Dowager Qin has issued an order, saying that Shen Che, the king of Yi, did not obey the edict of the first emperor, intended to rebel, and the world fought together, and specially ordered Qin Yuankai to be the general of Pingnan, and led the troops to arrest Shen Che, the king of Yi, and returned to Beijing to ask for the crime.

After Shen Che also left the capital, he went all the way south, relying on years of painstaking arrangements and operations, day and night, changing his appearance, and finally returned to Yiguo half a month later, without being caught by Qin Yuankai.

On the second day after Shen Che returned to Yiguo, Yiguo's general Du Wei led 50,000 fiefdom defenders to the north, Chen soldiers on the border of Yiguo, and blocked Qin Yuankai's men.

The war between Ninggong and Yiguo is about to break out, of course, this is half a month later.

However, just when the capital was rumored and Yiguo was full of soldiers, Yun Yao also successfully entered the palace of King Hao under the arrangement of Qi Tianbao.

When Yun Yao entered the palace, it was the beginning of August, and when the queen's mother Qi Shuning saw Yun Yao, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, and she felt that her father's move to send Yun Yao into the palace was really a send-off.

"Since I came back that day, thinking back to what happened on the street that day, this palace is really restless and sleepless at night, and I am always worried that there will be people in this palace who will want to harm the child in the belly of this palace. Qi Shuning said to Yun Yao, "Miss A-Yao, my father has already told Bengong everything you did, I really didn't expect you to be so smart and icy, not only guessed Bengong's identity, but also used this way to hide your identity." ”

"The queen has won the award, and this is also the opportunity for Master Qi to believe in the slave and maid, so he gave the slave and maid the opportunity to serve in the palace. Yun Yao made a standard palace salute and then said.

Qi Shuning looked at Yun Yao, and only felt that the woman in front of her was just right, not deliberate, and not making people feel that the etiquette was not good, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

Especially the palace ceremony she just now, it seems that she has been specially trained, which makes Qi Shuning curious about Yun Yao's identity again.

"My father said that Miss A-Yao had a business with him, and the agreement was for half a month. I don't know how Miss Ayao will help the palace to protect the fetus in half a month?" Qi Shuning asked with some curiosity.

After all, Yun Yao had also said before that she had had many miscarriages, and the fetus was unstable, and if she wanted to keep this fetus, it would take more effort than usual. What's more, the distraction in the carriage also made her guard against whether someone was secretly doing anything.

"In the past half month, the slave will carefully check the pulse and acupuncture for the mother, regulate the body, and let the mother's qi and blood flow smoothly, which is good for the fetus. Yun Yao said, "In addition, supplemented by diet, formulating a suitable medicinal diet, and strictly following the medicinal diet recipe to eat, it will also be helpful to the body." ”

"It's a pity that a medical girl like you, who is skilled in medicine and has a kind heart, can't stay by the side of this palace for a long time. If you accompany the uterus until the birth of the fetus, I think the uterus will not have to be afraid every day. Qi Shuning said with a sigh.

"Niangniang doesn't have to worry too much, in fact, the main purpose of the slave maid entering the palace this time is to lure the snake out of the hole. Yun Yao said, "It's better to treat the symptoms than the root cause." Helping the mother to protect the fetus and fix the fetus, any doctor can do it, not a slave. But the slave maid had an appointment with Master Qi in advance, to help Niang Niang find out the person who was hiding behind her back. ”

"Do you have a way?" Qi Shuning asked.

"The slave maid has just entered the palace, and she doesn't know the situation in the palace yet, so she hasn't thought of a way for the time being. However, the slave believes that hard work pays off, and there will be a way. Yun Yao said with a light smile.

Qi Shuning nodded, she didn't know why, she always felt that Yun Yao had a convincing power in her body, and when she heard Yun Yao's words, she was happy to believe it.

What's more, her current situation can't be worse, she still doesn't know who wants to harm her, and no child has been born in the palace in the past few decades, and she doesn't know whether it is providence or artificiality.

Since he also has to spend time in fear, it is better to leave this matter to Yun Yao and give it a go, if he can really find out something, it will be a big safety for King Hao.

At least King Hao doesn't have to blame himself for the problem that the child can't be born every time, and feels that he must have done something wrong to be punished by God.

Since then, Yun Yao has lived in the Hao Palace as a medical woman, nominally to help the queen mother have a baby, but in fact, she is secretly investigating the real culprit behind the black hand against the queen mother.

In Yun Yao's opinion, she herself belonged to the sudden intruder of the Hao Palace, and her origin was a little strange. Under normal circumstances, it will break the inherent balance of this Hao Palace, and let some people who are thieves and weak hearts mess up their own positions.

Judging from the fact that the queen is scattered, there are indeed people who don't want the queen to give birth to a child. King Hao has been childless for many years, and the person behind the scenes would rather risk disappointing King Hao again than the queen to keep the child, what does this mean?

shows that the fundamental purpose of this person is not simply to compete with the queen, she probably just doesn't want King Hao to have children.

But all this is Yun Yao's speculation, she is not in a hurry, from Ning Palace to Yiwang Palace, how many winds and waves have been experienced, life and death, I don't know how many times the ghost gate has been crossed, this Hao Palace is better than the cruel Ning Palace in the past, I don't know how many times.

So, she just had to wait quietly, the fox's tail was going to show out anyway.

The heat of midsummer shrouded the Haowang Palace, a feudal country located neither south nor north, and at this moment it was also under the invasion of the scorching sun. Even the air is wet, and even if you fan the wind with a fan, the wind coming out of the fan is hot.

The heat and dryness of the weather also exacerbated people's uneasiness, but all this made no difference to Yun Yao. Because she has traveled to so many places, she has already cultivated a calm heart.
