Chapter 258: Out of the Palace
In the early morning, the red sun was rising, and the whole city was shrouded in a white mist. []
The city gate has not yet opened, and I don't know whose rooster is standing majestically in the courtyard and crowing, only the hawkers selling breakfast are busy in the quiet streets, and the housewives who have been dressed have already put on their baskets and are ready to go out to buy, everything is going on in an orderly manner.
A few streets away, the back door of Changning Wangfu suddenly creaked open, and a slightly chubby figure rubbed his nose and walked out, stretched his hands and took a deep breath, then shivered, rubbing his arm with his hand, "It's really a day, why is it foggy again." ”
"It's already autumn, and it's not uncommon for the morning to be foggy." A wilted little guy next to him spoke, yawned with his hand, and looked at the person outside the door, "I said Anfu, you kid is early in the morning, where are you going?" ”
"Where else can I go, comprador and comprador, naturally it's just to buy things." An Fu smiled good-naturedly, turned around and teased, "I heard that your kid has been very courteous to Qian'er in the Huanyi department recently, and there are no fewer good things to give away, right?" This time, do you want my brother and me to help you bring back some rouge gouache, so that you can get a beautiful woman back as soon as possible? ”
When the little guy heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly rubbed his hands to meet him, "Hey, how embarrassing is this......"
"Why are you embarrassed? I'll just help you buy it, and you'll have to pay for the money yourself. ”
"Ahh You brotherly fellow, hurry up, I won't leave you the door when you come back late. ”
The two laughed and scolded each other, Anfu kicked the janitor, then patted his sleeve, pulled his collar again, and under his envious gaze, he walked to the path that he had already mastered with his head high, intending to go to the market.
The place where Changning Wangfu is located is considered to belong to the wealthy area of Yucheng, and ordinary people rarely pass through here. It was early in the morning, and most people were still asleep, so the courtyard door was closed all the way, and there was no one in sight.
An Fu put his hands into his sleeves, and was just about to speed up his pace, when a tall figure dressed in black suddenly appeared in front of Leng Buding. The fog had not yet cleared, and the black scarf covering the man's face could be vaguely seen. The uncovered eyes are full of anger.
An Fu was shocked, and subconsciously blurted out, "Who?" ”
In the next second, I saw a silver arc flashing in front of him, An Fu's head buzzed, reflexively covering his neck with his hands, and there was a hehe gasp in his throat, and then he fell to the ground with a bang.
Blood snaked along the bluestone pavement, and the figure lying in the pool of blood twitched a few times, and finally stood still.
……
On the third day after the Mid-Autumn Banquet, He Xiaoqiao was lazily leaning on the windowsill, playing with the coral beads that had just been picked from his hair, and slowly turning another page of "Strange Tales of Dongfu" in front of him.
Not far away, Jiang Fenghao was listening to Leng Qianshan's report on the latest situation outside the palace with a calm face, holding a teacup in one hand and unconsciously tapping the table with the other.
“…… Counting yesterday, it is already the fourth. The wounds are highly uniform, they are all on the neck, and they are directly killed with a knife. Leng Qianshan also held a teacup in his hand, and drank two sips before putting it down, "That group of people picked out when there were few people, and it was at a distance from the palace, the first two times they couldn't find the right time, and now their subordinates have sent people to ambush nearby, as long as they appear again, they must take down the people as soon as possible." ”
Jiang Fenghao sighed, as if he was a little absent-minded, "Everything else can be taken care of?" ”
"I have already buried the good students according to the rules of the house. Those who have families have given a resettlement fee of 1,000 taels, and those who are alone have asked for a tablet to let people have ingots and candles every day, as for the one who has an old mother at home, he took his mother into the house after the person was buried, and set two girls to take care of it. ”
"Well done." Jiang Fenghao groaned, and then commanded, "When you go back, let Uncle Liu announce it, and each person in the house will give two taels of silver to suppress the shock." The purchase will be stopped first, and if you have nothing to do, try to go out of the house as little as possible. In addition, find someone to pretend to be a comprador in the house, or follow the old path, you should know what to do. ”
Leng Qianshan didn't hesitate for a moment, "The subordinates understand, the prince can rest assured." ”
Jiang Fenghao thought about it, looked back at He Xiaoqiao, who seemed to be napping with his chin in his hand, turned around and said in a low voice, "When I go back to the house tomorrow, don't let the princess know about this matter." ”
With the personality of his lady's short-term protection, if she knew about this, she might be angry - the child is about to be born, and she can't stand any stimulation now.
This time, Leng Qianshan didn't speak, just nodded to show that he understood.
The two discussed for a while, and Leng Qianshan went back first in a hurry to find the cause of several accidents.
Jiang Fenghao sat outside the house for a while with his eyebrows twisted, and probably sorted out his thoughts before getting up. When I returned to the house, He Xiaoqiao was already asleep on the windowsill, with one hand under her cheek and the other pressed against the page.
Gently pulling the book out from under her hand and putting it aside, Jiang Fenghao stepped forward and picked her up horizontally and put her back on the bed, and then pulled the quilt to cover her from the neck down.
He Xiaoqiao opened his eyes in a daze, subconsciously rubbed his side face in Jiang Fenghao's palm, and fell asleep again.
Jiang Fenghao made her rub as if there was a feather brushing in her heart, numb and itchy. The haze in his eyes dissipated, and a shallow smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
Yam had just finished cleaning up the pile of dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and when he passed by the door, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the inner room a few more times, and he really envied He Xiaoqiao's carefreeness.
On the other hand, he began to feel faintly melancholy, and he didn't know if he had the same blessing in this life, and he could get such a man who really loved him for a lifetime.
Probably thinking that it was a bit ridiculous to think about this with his own identity, Yam pulled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, turned around and went to the next room.
The first time she left the palace in her life, it may also be the last time in her life, she has to take advantage of this opportunity to complete everything in the plan as soon as possible, so as not to leave regrets in the future.
On the morning of the second day, the court was quiet and peaceful, no one jumped out to say that there was no peace and there was famine and flood, and no one quarreled about the big thing of sesame mung beans.
Jiang Mufeng felt strange in his heart, secretly paid attention to everyone's expressions, and focused on communicating with Jiang Fenghao's eyes, who glanced at him lazily, yawned silently, and half-closed his eyes as if he hadn't woken up.
Jiang Mufeng was helpless, so he had to stretch out his leg and kick Yu Yue, who immediately realized and quickly cleared his throat, "I wonder if you adults have something to play?" If nothing happens, this is time to retreat. ”
The king of Xiangyang straightened his waist, and when he heard the words, he half-hung his head and responded, "Minister, it's okay." ”
As soon as the words fell, all the officials who followed him also opened their mouths, and the content was highly unified.
Jiang Mufeng raised his eyes and looked at the other side, the place where Shangguan Yun was standing was now empty, and he couldn't help frowning, "Shangguan Qing is on leave again?" ”
Someone at the bottom immediately responded, "Back to the emperor, that's exactly the case." ”
"Do you know what's going on?"
"Your Majesty, Lord Shangguan has relapsed from an old illness and has been ill for many days." Cui Zhiyuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who was originally standing behind Shangguan Yun, said loudly, "The minister went to visit yesterday, but he hasn't been able to get up yet. ”
Jiang Mufeng frowned, "I remember that Shangguan Qing said before that he was occasionally cold. How could it be so severe? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Cui Zhiyuan again.
Cui Zhiyuan's face was solemn, and he bowed for a long time before saying, "The minister can't say what kind of illness Lord Shangguan is suffering from, but the minister is sure that it will definitely not be as simple as occasionally feeling the wind and cold." ”
Is it already that serious?
Jiang Mufeng groaned, knowing that Shangguan Yun was not a slack person, and then thinking that he did not participate in the Mid-Autumn Banquet, and even did not go to court for several days, he should have been really sick and unable to get up.
"Someone!" Thinking of this, Jiang Mufeng said in a deep voice, "Spread my will, Xuantai Hospital, Imperial Doctor Liu, Imperial Doctor Wang, and Imperial Doctor Qiu, the three of them will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to treat Shangguan Qing together, and we must make sure that the pillars of the country of my Dayan will recover as soon as possible." ”
Yu Yue answered, and hurriedly got up and went to the Tai Hospital to deliver the message.
Cui Shangshu took the lead over there, and immediately knelt down a large area of hulala, and the collective mountain shouted long live, "The ministers and Shangguan have thanked the emperor, and the emperor is benevolent, which is the blessing of my people." ”
The compliments have long been heard, and Jiang Mufeng didn't take them to heart, so he waved his hand when he heard the words, "Get up." ”
Jiang Fenghao, who had been standing in the corner pretending to be invisible, opened his eyes at this time, and his eyes fell on Cui Zhiyuan, with a thoughtful look on his face, but he didn't say a word.
After getting out of the morning court, having breakfast, and a little later, Jiang Mufeng really sent someone to send a comfortable carriage over.
After living in the palace for several months, today I was finally able to return to my kennel. He Xiaoqiao was very excited early in the morning, and finally waited for Jiang Fenghao to take her out of the Nuanchun Pavilion, and when she saw the carriage for the first time, she immediately wanted to rush up.
As a result, when she came to the side, she found that with her current weight and size, she had nothing to step on, and wanted to climb into the waist-high carriage...... That's just a fantasy.
couldn't help but look back at Jiang Fenghao with a sad face, but the latter had a light face, jumped straight past her with a narrow smile in his eyes, and then drilled into the carriage by himself, not forgetting to turn around and grin at her with white teeth.
"......" He Xiaoqiao instantly became messy in the wind.
Bai Shou, who was also a coachman next to him, couldn't see it, and was about to hand over a footstool, but he didn't expect someone to be faster than him.
Jiang Fenghao stretched out a pair of long arms from the car, easily scooped He Xiaoqiao up, and closed the car door with a click-that action was like robbing a woman from a good family on the street.
At this time, it was Bai Shou's turn and Yam, and the wind was messy.
There is a severe snake spirit patient as the master, and the three views of the festival have to be refreshed every day, this life is really ...... Fun! ()
