Zhao Qin was unexpected, his heart tightened, and his hands were forced, "Who are you?" ”

Yuan He was also angry, and beads of sweat fell from his head, but he didn't say a word, only said lightly, "Who am I, Zhao Langjun will know when you look at this." Zhao Qin's eyesight is stronger than ordinary people, and he clearly recognizes the three words "Yushi Temple" engraved on it, and can't help but be surprised, "You ......"

As soon as he finished spitting out a word, he only felt a dull pain in the back of his head, but it turned out that his heart was in turmoil, and the clamp on Yuan He in his hand was unconsciously loosened.

Waking up from a drowsiness, Zhao Qin only felt that his body was shaking slightly, and the carriage moved forward smoothly.

"It's also that I didn't make it clear at the beginning," Yuan He explained with a smile, "Now we are indeed not going to Chang'an, but Yunyang." The owner of the family didn't want others to know the news of the disappearance of the little lady, so I didn't explain when I didn't pass through the Yuzhi Mansion at the beginning, and Lang Jun initially mistook us for our identity. It's just that Lang Jun believes that the master of the house has no malicious intent. ”

Zhao Qin smiled slightly bitterly, "So far, who is your master?" ”

Zhao Qin thought that he had reached the point where he was poor and could tell him the identity of his master. But he didn't want to, Yuan He hesitated for a moment, and said, "Forgive me for being disrespectful, when Lang Jun sees my master, he will naturally know." ”

Zhao Qin closed his eyes and pondered, unable to guess the identity of the person behind Yuan He.

Since it is possible to dispatch the order of the Imperial History Temple, it should be officially allowed. It's just that since he holds the order issued by the Imperial Doctor, even if he doesn't announce it in the house for other reasons. But all the way from the north to Yunyang, for such a long time, why has he been unwilling to say it clearly.

He couldn't figure it out. But he didn't know that the decree in Yuan He's hand was not issued by Zhao Yao, the imperial historian, but from the hands of Zhongcheng in the imperial history. Zhao Yao didn't know.

And the name of this imperial history is Cao Cave, so Xiangguo, the son of Pingyang Yihou Cao Shen, he also has an identity, he is the son of heaven Liu Ying grew up with the companion of the reader, and now after ascending the throne, he was promoted from the prince to the middle doctor. Now the official is in the imperial history, and he has the closest relationship with the Son of Heaven.

"Huh-" The emperor grabbed the reins of the horse and turned back to say to the python wife. "Lord Yuan, it's time to reach the boundary of Yunyang County."

Yuan He nodded, "You go and arrange it, and you must not leak the secret." ”

"Zhao Langjun," Yuan He pushed the door in. With a little apology, he smiled, "Tomorrow we will enter Lin Guang Palace." Because your news is not good for people to know, you can only use a little market means. Wronged Lang Jun. ”

Zhao Qin raised his eyebrows uninhibitedly, "Now that the matter is over, do I still have room not to agree?" ”

Since May. The Son of Heaven came to Lin Guang Palace to escape the summer, and Lin Guang Palace gradually became hot, although it was not as powerful as the East and West Palaces of Chang'an. But there is also a boom. In the following years, another political center of the Han court outside Chang'an was formed.

And the water in the palace, all draw from the Ganquan Mountain 25 miles outside the county seat, every morning at one o'clock, there is a horseman carrying the sweet spring drawn that day from the north side gate into the palace.

Zhao Qin's hands and feet were tied. Lying on the compartment under the waterwheel, I walked for a while. The waterwheel stopped outside, and then listened to the sound of the palace gate guards shouting and questioning as usual, and after a while, the groom shouted, and the car shook slightly, and continued to move forward. I can't help but smile bitterly, Sister Shujun, what kind of trouble have you caused! Complex mentality.

The waterwheel stopped in front of a palace in the south of Lin Guang Palace, and the groom got out of the car, and someone from Tsing Yi Palace greeted him and asked, "Have you had a good trip?" ”

"Tailwind." The groom replied respectfully, and brought the spring down. The Tsing Yi Palace man pulled open the wooden plank of the compartment and said with a smile, "Zhao Langjun, please come out." ”

When Zhao Qin got off the carriage, it was when the sun was born. Facing the rising sun, the light is brilliant, shining on the palace of the old Qin, the high platform pavilion, the heavy eaves are four, towering, stretching for half a mile.

"Please Zhao Langjun come in and wait," the Tsing Yi Palace man bowed.

Zhao Qin raised his head and squinted slightly at the palace in front of him, and on the high hanging plaque, there were three quaint patina seal characters: 鳷 (zhi) magpie view (see note at the end of the chapter).

About half an hour later, I suddenly heard a knock on the cloud board outside the hall, and the palace people were silent and welcomed out. After a while, the door of the magpie temple was opened from the inside out, the curtain of the inner hall was opened, and a shrill voice shouted, "The holy car has arrived." ”

The young man walked into the hall, the dark color of the robe covered with the same color silk shoes on the feet, and the hidden thread on it was embroidered with nine chapter patterns, mountain birds, insects and fish, majestic and solemn.

Zhao Qin was shocked with disbelief, and a deeper level that even he couldn't believe that he was so clear, and bowed down, "Minister Zhao Qin, I've seen Your Majesty." ”

In the hall, the emperor was silent for a while, and asked softly, "She...... Okay? ”

Zhao Qin replied softly, "Chen broke up with Shujun's sister at the end of the first month, and although she looked a little thinner at that time, everything was fine. ”

The emperor repeated "Shujun", walked to the top, lifted his robe and sat down, and said in a faint voice, "Sister won't call me in the future?" Speaking of... You're going to call her your cousin. ”

For a moment, the huge frightened Zhao Qin was dumbfounded.

The various experiences since Yu Zhi have made him realize that the little cousin he met by chance in Xingyang Road is not a simple character. However, in the end, he couldn't think about all his imagination, she was actually the Queen of the Han Dynasty, the daughter of Princess Lu Yuan, and Zhang Yan, the wife of Liu Ying, the Son of Heaven.

"How?" The emperor sneered, "Do you dare to take her out of Guguan, but you don't even know her identity?" ”

"The minister only thought," Zhao Qinne, "she is the cousin of the Lu family." ”

"Fool," the emperor rebuked, "you don't even know who she is, and you dare to take her out of the customs?" ”

Zhao Qin only felt that cold sweat soaked his clothes, and he bowed to the ground, "The minister is dead." ”

No wonder so.

No wonder Yuan He was reluctant to alarm the government when he was looking for him in Yuzhi County, no wonder he kept Shujun's identity secretive along the way, and after knowing Zhang Yan's identity, everything had a reasonable explanation. After all, who would have thought that the noblest woman of the Han Dynasty, who should have stayed in Weiyang Palace, had already lurked far away from the rivers and lakes? Who would have imagined that the Son of Heaven had spent so much effort. Such a big move, just to find the whereabouts of his wife.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive me," Zhao Qin only felt a trace of bitterness in his mouth, but at this moment, he had to reluctantly defend himself, "At that time, the minister really didn't know the identity of the mother. "Otherwise, if you give him another guts, he won't do such a thing.

It seemed as if it took a great deal of effort for the Emperor to calm down his anger. Jing Jing asked, "Tell me more about what happened after you met her." There was a deep weariness in his voice.

“…… Qin met the cousin on Xingyang Road. She was traveling with a couple, dressed as men, and riding in an ox cart. ”

Half a year after Zhang Yan went into hiding, Liu Ying heard her exact news for the first time. For a while, my chest was like a thousand pounds of boulders. There is deep longing.

"A couple?"

"Yes."

"Do you know who they are?"

"The man is Meng Guan, a famous ranger in Jiangnan over the years, and the woman is his wife Han. It is said that the mother was kind to the couple, so they escorted the mother to repay the kindness. ”

Liu Ying was slightly stunned, "Meng Guan? ”

"Yes."

He stopped asking and continued, "What about later?" ”

"Xingyang Road has always been a little uneven. It just so happened that on that day, a group of bandits blocked the road. The minister has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he boasts that when he sees injustice, he should draw a sword to help. So he stepped forward to help repel the bandits. After talking to Niangniang, I realized that they were still relatives of each other. ”

The events on Xingyang Road that day have long passed. Later, Zhao Qin had safely taken Ah Yan out of Hangu Pass. You can know that there is nothing to do on that day. It's just that now, the emperor listens to his wife's encounter with bandits that day. Shang felt his heart beat slightly, and the hand in his sleeve trembled slightly.

At that time, the girl was wearing a man's straight clothes, standing aside, listening to him and Meng Guan introduce each other, her apricot kernel-shaped eyes suddenly blinked, and said, "You are Zhao Qin?" Doctor Pei Zhao Shu's eldest son Zhao Qin? ”

"Exactly." He was slightly stunned and looked at the young man, "I don't know ...... you?" ”

The young man lowered his eyes lightly and smiled, "Cousin, don't you recognize me?" ”

Zhao Qin was very embarrassed. He was a young man from an average family, and after he arrived in Hanxing, because of his kinship with the Liu family, most of his relatives became developed, and he took countless concubines, and gradually gave birth to more children. When he reached a certain age, he ran away with a sword, where did he recognize it one by one?

"My name is Shujun." The girl dressed in men's clothes said angrily, "I still know my cousin, but my cousin doesn't remember me anymore." When I was six years old, my cousin met me in the Lihou Mansion. That day, my cousin accidentally trampled Sister Jia's favorite rabbit to death, and Sister Jia was crying and asking my cousin to compensate, and my cousin was afraid that he was going to cry? ”

"Stop, stop." Zhao Qin hurriedly shouted. The troubles of his youth have long been forgotten in the passage of time, and he didn't vaguely remember this until the girl reminded him, but the children who were in the house at the time couldn't remember it for a long time. He sneered, "It turned out to be Shujun's cousin, they have grown so big." "It's like a flower, and it's no wonder that the bandits took a fancy to it. Come to think of it, if it weren't for the escort of Meng Guan, who was not weak along the way, I was afraid that something would have happened before he got out of the pass.

"Why is my sister here?"

Shujun was silent for a while, don't look over her head, and a lonely look appeared on her face.

"Is it mine, no," Zhao Qin said with a free smile, "Our brothers, sisters and friends are reunited, what is talking like on the road, it is better to go to the city and find a pavilion to live in." ”

After all, he was his "cousin", and he couldn't just leave it alone, so he took the time to ask her about the current situation.

"So, you're running away from home?"

"Hmm." Shujun bowed her head and looked up at herself, "Does the cousin of the Zhao family want to arrest me back?" "The eyes are bright and simple.

Zhao Qin smiled bitterly, "I'm away from home myself, so what qualifications do I have to take care of your affairs?" But, Shujun, you ......"

Shujun hesitated for a while, then said with a wry smile, "Ah Weng promised me to be married, I know that he doesn't like me, so I don't want this faint thing, otherwise, even if I torture him, I won't be happy." But my family would never agree, so I simply ran away. ”

When he said these words, Shujun tilted his head slightly, his long eyelashes blinked, as if his sorrow was attached to his head, quite self-suffering, Zhao Qin looked at pity in his heart, and comforted her, "A woman like you, that man doesn't like it, it's because he has no eyes." ”

He could understand that in Shicai's statement, Shujun used the words "He doesn't like me," not "I don't like him." "Even if you fall into this situation, you are adrift, but you still have a proud backbone.

"What are your plans?"

Shujun's eyes lit up, "I don't know." Let's get out of the customs first. After three years and five years, the grandmother at home is gone, and I will go back. ”

"Coincidentally," Zhao Qin raised his eyebrows, "I'm also going to go out of the customs, so I might as well give you a ride." ”

……

There are some things in the middle that cannot be said to the Son of Heaven. Zhao Qin picked up what he could say and talked about it again. “…… Later, I made an appointment with a friend to go to Jiangnan to meet, and I went a different way from Niangniang, so I got my hands on Fenshui, and since then, I have never seen Niangniang again. ”

The sun gradually rose to the middle of the sky, shining obliquely and falling on the ground in the view, sprinkling a small burst of golden light. Zhao Qin knelt there quietly, secretly looked at the emperor's expression, and saw him sitting upright, with a slightly idiot on his face.

"—Your Majesty?"

Liu Ying came back to her senses, "Do you know, where did Ah Yan go after she left the customs?" ”

Zhao Qin's face was bitter, "I have said everything I can say." Now that I think about it, Niangniang had her own plans in her heart, and she even hid her true identity from me that day, obviously unwilling to tell me the destination, so she broke up early. ”

The emperor snorted from his nasal cavity, his face looked extremely calm, but his voice was soft, "Zhao Qin, you have been away from the temple all these years, and you can be regarded as free and reckless, but don't forget, your surname is Zhao after all." ”

Zhao Qin's face changed slightly, carefully recalled the subtle scenes with Zhang Yan and others at that time, and finally said, "I remember." One day when I came back from outside, I once heard the Meng family and his wife talking, and the Han family once said that when she got to the place, she asked her husband to take her to see the Great Wall of Zhao. ”

"Zhao Changcheng?"

"Yes."

Liu Ying groaned in her heart, slightly revealing her color, and ordered, "During these days, you will honestly stay in this magpie view, and you will not go out of the gate." ”

He strolled out of the view, a bamboo forest in the Linguang Palace, the breeze blew, the bamboo shadow was heavy, extremely cool, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and held the sachet in his hand.
