Chapter 443: Ghost Flower
The general Zhu Xiangyu is Emperor Jingyuan's newly promoted henchman, and after Emperor Jingyuan saw through Charlotte's attempt to kill his father and seize the throne, he uprooted the courtiers who secretly supported her, and brought a big change of blood to the court of Daqi.
Of course, there are many supporters of the eldest prince Xia Yan among this batch of newly appointed important ministers, if it weren't for this, how could Emperor Jingyuan's whereabouts be leaked and almost killed by the killer?
Shen Yu's identity as a princess has not yet been revealed, and Ji Xun, Zhang Neng and others pretended to be the imperial guards, accompanied by the imperial chariot.
Manager Yang resumed his identity as an internal servant, and willingly served by Ji Feng's side, and along the way, when he saw the young leaves that rabbits love to eat, he happily ran to pick them and handed them to Ji Feng to feed his "baby".
Ji Feng's rabbit "baby" gave birth to a litter of babies before, but unfortunately he couldn't take care of it every day at that time, so he gave it away halfway.
Ji Feng was worried about it, thinking about feeding the rabbits more food every day, so that they could have another litter earlier.
There is a lot of rain in the south, and it rains almost every day, so you can only wear a coat and a hat to brave the rain.
After a rainstorm that day, the brigade suddenly stopped.
Seeing this, Zhu Xiangyu, the general who was ordered to escort Emperor Jing Yuan and Prince A Feng back to Beijing, immediately went on alert, and all the guards drew their swords.
It is lined with high mountain peaks, and the roads are narrow and treacherous, so you may be ambushed.
Shen Yu, Ji Xun and others also drew their swords and cautiously protected the chariots of Emperor Jingyuan and Ji Feng.
The atmosphere was tense, and a guard came over on horseback and said to General Zhu from a distance, "Tell the general, there is a large area of collapse ahead, blocking the way." ’
When General Zhu heard this, he immediately relieved his heart, inserted the sword into the scabbard, and said to Emperor Jing Yuan in the imperial chariot and went to check.
Heavy rains led to landslides and blocked roads.
Seeing this situation, General Zhu dismounted and climbed the rocks to the landslide.
I saw that a large section of the road was blocked by rocks, let alone horse-drawn carriages, and even horses could not pass.
was in trouble, and saw a man on the other side struggling to come over in the pile of rubble.
"Who?" General Zhu shouted and drew his sword, "Stop me." ”
However, as if he hadn't heard, the man showed a sign in his hand, "My master has something important to do, and you look like someone from the nearby barracks?" Please send more soldiers to clear this way. '
The man said and came to General Zhu, who was wearing a coat and a hat, and he really couldn't see that he was a general, and the man treated him as an ordinary soldier.
General Zhu glanced at the man, took the token and looked at it, it was the token in the palace, and he didn't know who it was, but it was not the emperor and the prince after all.
He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I have something to do, and it's really hard for me to do my job." ”
After being blocked for such a long time, it can't be dredged in six or seven days, and the detour is faster.
Seeing that General Zhu wanted to leave, the man stopped him: "If you refuse to clear this way, then sell your horses to us, and we will pay a high price."
Here the landslide horse can't turn over, but people can turn over it with some effort.
But if a man passes and a horse can't get by, won't there be no horse to ride? How can the wild mountains do without horses, and they are still in a hurry to go.
But General Zhu still refused, "I'm sorry, no matter how high the price is, I won't sell it." ”
"You~~, do you know who my master is? How dare you refuse?" Extremely masculine.
"Who is it?" General Zhu stopped, he really wanted to know who dared to speak so loudly, could it be that the inner servants around the emperor were pretending to be tigers outside?
"It's a lady in the palace." The man glanced back, and replied with his master's approval.
"Which mother?" General Zhu asked, he wanted to know which lady was so bold that she dared to leave the palace without permission.
"Concubine Yun." The man replied.
After thinking about it, the man's eyes rolled and added, "Concubine Yun has the permission of the queen to go to Luzhou to visit her sick father~~ If you are blocked here, I am afraid that you will not be able to rush home to fulfill your filial piety, so will you not disappoint the queen's kindness?"
"Really? Then you wait here, and I'll go back. After General Zhu finished speaking, he went to report the matter to the emperor.
When the emperor heard this, he was furious.
"This Concubine Yun~~ is really bold, where did she get a sick father who is an orphan girl? Hum. Emperor Jing Yuan's face was extremely ugly.
Concubine Yun Wei Duyan was a beauty sent to the palace by Shen Chenxiang three years ago, and was named Concubine Yun by Emperor Jingyuan.
Emperor Jingyuan has never liked to enter the harem, so after the fall of Shen Chenxiang, he did not anger any concubine in the harem, he didn't expect this Concubine Yun to be so bold and dare to lie and leave the palace at will!
Thinking of this, Emperor Jing Yuan threw the token in his hand to General Zhu, "Concubine Yun dares to leave the palace without permission and bring her back to me, I want to interrogate her well~~'
The assassination of the killer in Qibei City this time reminded Emperor Jing Yuan that it was time to rectify the harem, who knows who those people with ulterior motives stuffed into his harem?
"Yes, Your Majesty." General Zhu took the token, took a dozen guards over the rocks and mud to the other end of the avenue, and lit the token at Wei Duyan, "Concubine Yun left the palace without authorization, the emperor is furious, and you will return to the palace immediately." ”
Wei Duyan's face suddenly changed greatly.
It's not that she didn't know that the emperor was heading to the capital, but she really didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that she actually met here.
Originally, as long as she passed here, she would immediately turn around and go to the southwest, and the chance of encountering the emperor was very small, and it was not a wish!
What else can be done now? I can only honestly go back to Beijing.
"Mother, what should I do?" Seeing that the situation was wrong, the killer leader who called the old cat found an opportunity to bite Wei Duyan's ear, "If you go back, how about the master's Gu poison?"
Wei Duyan thought about it and whispered to the old cat.
"I'm sure I can't go, so you have to go."
"That flower is called a ghost flower, it blooms in the depths of a dark and damp swamp, it is leafless, and the flowers are pale and eerie, like ghosts floating in the air, giving off a strange fragrance."
"There will be all kinds of fierce beasts around the flowers, so you should be careful."
After speaking, he handed the old cat a jade box that was clear like an ice sculpture, "This jade box is made of Tianshan ice jade, and after picking the ghost flower, the ghost flower will be placed in this jade box, which can be kept fresh for several months." ”
"Okay." The old cat nodded, put away the Tianshan Ice Jade Box, and walked forward for a distance, Wei Duyan found an excuse to send away the ten killers who had originally accompanied her to the swamp to find the 'Ghost Flower'.
On the other side, the emperor's convoy retreated some distance and then made a detour to the southeast to return to Beijing.
Half a month later, Emperor Jingyuan and the crown prince Xia Hanfeng, escorted by General Zhu, returned to the capital safely.
When the people of Daqi heard that their emperor had entered the city gate, thousands of onlookers were empty.
It was the first time for Shen Yuji to come to the capital of Daqi, and he looked around with curious eyes.
The building is similar to that of the Great Zhou Kingdom, but the difference is the folk customs.
The national customs of the Great Qi seem to be more open than that of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and there are many women who set up stalls to do business on the streets, and when the pork stalls pass by, all the women who sell pork are women, which is simply impossible in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Then there is the dress, the skirts of the women here in Daqi are above the ankles, revealing bright embroidered shoes, which are very simple and convenient, and of course, cooler.
Shen Yuzheng watched with interest, and suddenly swept his eyes and found that there was a woman in the alley next to him who was holding a dying little girl in her arms, crying with grief.
"Ah Xun, there seems to be a patient there, I'll go over and take a look." The doctor's parents' hearts, Shen Yu really couldn't pretend not to see it, so he turned over and dismounted.
"I'll go with you." Ji Xun also saw it, handed over the horse to Zhang Neng to lead, and entered the alley with Shen Yu.
