Chapter 67 Leaving Kunming
After a while, Xiang Yan came out of the house and shook his head. Wu Sangui hurriedly took a step forward and asked in a low voice, "What did the princess say?" Xiang Yan said: "People have been saved." It's just that the princess has a strong temperament, she doesn't listen to anything, and she will go back to the capital to ask the emperor to sanction the prince. I have commanded the palace maid to wait for the princess well, and not to leave the princess. Lord, I'm worried that the princess will sneak back to the capital alone. Wu Sangui's face changed, and he nodded: "Yes, yes, this has to be guarded against." ”
Ruidong came over and frowned and sighed: "This leg is on the princess herself, she wants to leave by herself, who can stop it?" It can be stopped for three or four days, but it can't be stopped for ten days and a half months. Alas, this public is mainly going back to Beijing privately, but there is something long and two short on the road, and everyone can't please them. Now the only way to do this is to let the prince accompany the princess back to the capital to visit the church and get married, and the queen mother and the emperor will personally comfort the princess. ”
Wu Sangui thought for a while, lowered his voice and said, "I just don't know if the princess is still willing to ...... Will you marry? Xiang Yan whispered: "The princess is young, she doesn't understand this kind of thing." She is a noble person, and she can't say such a thing. Ruidong also said: "Don't worry, the prince." Although the prince made some nonsense today, the princess was not hurt in the end. After all, the prince is a person who has made great contributions to the court, and for the sake of the prince's golden face, the queen mother and the emperor will not treat the prince harshly. ”
Wu Sangui said: "That's all." The dog will be entrusted to the two, please take care of them. Ruidong said: "Don't worry, the prince's safety on the road is covered by his humble position." In order to prevent the princess from making any trouble, let's leave at dawn! Wu Sangui said: "This ...... Wouldn't it be too rushed? Xiang Yan said: "Lord, in fact, I am not in a hurry at all, I am afraid that the princess will not be able to wait." ”
Wu Sangui said: "The two of you have done me a great favor today, not because of the gold, silver and jewelry. However, there are quite a few officers and soldiers under the command of the two brothers, and the brothers just arrived in Kunming yesterday and will return to the capital at dawn. It's hard to get a trip to Yunnan, but he doesn't even drink a cup of tea and has to go back, Xiao Wang really can't help it. When he turned around, Xiao Wang sent some silver tickets over, and asked the two of them to buy some tea for the brothers below, so that Xiao Wang had to do his best. ”
Ruidong said: "Then thank you to the prince." It's just that I don't know how Shizi's injury is, let's go and see, I just hope that the injury is not serious. Wu Sangui, Ruidong and Xiang Yantong went to visit Wu Yingxiong. The doctor frowned and said, "The life of the son is fine, but ...... But ......" Wu Sangui nodded and said, "It's good that your life is okay." "Ordered the family to immediately send the son back to his house to recuperate, and personally stumbled Ruidong and Xiang Yan. It wasn't until Wu Yingxiong left Anfu Garden that he said goodbye to the two.
After Wu Sangui left, Xiang Yan was very worried: "After Wu Yingxiong wakes up, he will definitely cry to Wu Sangui, and it is difficult to predict what Wu Sangui's reaction will be at that time." Bodhisattva bless, I hope that before we leave Kunming, Wu Yingxiong will not wake up. But even if Wu Yingxiong waits for us to leave before waking up, it's not easy to do! It is definitely impossible for Wu Sangui to let Wu Yingxiong follow us to the capital alone, and he will definitely send a few people to serve Wu Yingxiong. When Wu Yingxiong wakes up and finds that he has been castrated, will he send the people who serve him back to Kunming to explain the truth to Wu Sangui? After all, if I were castrated, I wouldn't just give up, let alone Wu Yingxiong? Alas, what should I do to keep Wu Sangui from knowing the truth? ”
The guards in the garden are still telling about Wu Yingxiong's castration. Xiang Yan suddenly had an idea, and said to Ruidong: "Manager Rui, I don't think we should tell others that Wu Yingxiong accompanied the princess back to the capital to worship and get married, and we said that King Pingxi sent his son into the palace to serve the emperor." Ruidong was stunned for a moment and said, "Not bad." Wu Yingxiong has become a eunuch, and whether the relationship with the princess can be completed is still between the two. We really can't talk nonsense about ruining the princess's reputation. It's better to think carefully to your father-in-law, otherwise we will be in trouble. Xiang Yan said: "As for the princess's castration of Wu Yingxiong, don't let the guards spread it." Ruidong said, "Yes." This kind of royal privacy, the princess is not honorable. ”
Ruidong went to give orders to the guards. Xiang Yan smiled secretly in his heart: "If this Wu Yingxiong woke up and cried to Wu Sangui before we left, if he woke up after we left but heard the news that Wu Sangui asked him to enter the palace as a eunuch was spread everywhere, I don't know what his mood was?" Will it be thought that Wu Sangui personally castrated him? ”
When it was dawn, Wu Sangui led his troops to send Wu Yingxiong. Wu Yingxiong was seriously injured, sat in a warm sedan chair, and was carried by eight relatives to the outside of Anfu Garden. At this time, the guards had already packed up and were waiting outside Anfu Garden, just waiting for Wu Yingxiong to arrive before getting up.
Wu Sangui took out two brocade boxes, handed them to Ruidong and Xiang Yan respectively, and said: "You came to Kunming for a trip, but you returned in a hurry, Xiao Wang really didn't want to go. This small gift, please share it with your brothers to buy tea and drink. The gifts of the Chinese military officials and the concubines and eunuchs in the palace were also distributed by the two on their behalf. Ruidong and Xiang Yan thanked Wu Sangui and took the brocade box.
Wu Sangui turned around and said loudly: "The prince escorts the princess and enters Beijing to meet the saint." Congratulations to Her Royal Highness the Princess. The sergeants under Wu Sangui blew the horn and lined up to see each other off. Wu Sangui, Ruidong and Xiang Yan entered the garden together, greeted the princess, and sent everyone all the way outside the city of Kunming.
