Chapter 353: Qianli and Junhui
Wan Ning ate for a while, and suddenly quieted down, and a thought popped up in her head: "Secret letter? Don't know where MeSign is? I'd love to see that secret letter with my own eyes. ”
"It should be in the emperor's study." Yan'er replied.
She guessed that Wan Ning might be going to take a peek, so she reminded: "Miss, isn't your every move being targeted by the emperor?" ”
"I thought this way at first, thinking that the emperor would definitely cut off all contact with my brother in the capital. But if you think about it, Grandpa Zhang is a person who has stayed by the emperor's side for many years, and he has always done things very safely. Since he dared to hand me the news, the emperor's thoughts, he should have figured out some of them. Could it be that the emperor really didn't find out whether his brother was collaborating with the enemy? 'Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious', I believe that the emperor also believes in his brother's personality, but from his point of view, there is no room for the slightest mistake. ”
Yan'er thought for a while: "You mean that the emperor has indicated that the emperor will not let the capital exchange news with General Gao, but in order to find out the truth, the emperor may have deliberately left a gap?" But if the emperor really deliberately indulges you, then you may live and die with the young master when you go to the frontier this time, and you won't be able to return to Chang'an City. ”
"Exactly, are you afraid? Anyway, with my brother, I am happy in danger. ”
"The slave and maid follow the young lady, of course they are not afraid."
That night, after Wan Ning knelt down and begged Gonggong Zhang, she went to the emperor's study late at night to read the contents of the secret letter carefully. The letter did say that the elder brother collaborated with the enemy and committed treason.
In order not to involve Zhang's father-in-law, she came and left in a hurry. But every word of the letter, she remembered it clearly, and it made her feel thrilled. I really can't complain that the emperor is suspicious.
The next day, Wan Ning took advantage of the emperor's handling of government affairs in the previous dynasty, and pretended to accompany Zhou Jieyu to greet the queen. She took the opportunity to ask the queen to arrange her and Yan'er into the team of the concubines to return to Jiangnan. The accompanying maids must be recorded and cannot be changed at will. In this way, if it is investigated in the future, the emperor will not be able to care about it. But Ruo Wanning ran away secretly, she was a maid in the palace, and she escaped from the palace without permission, and this crime was mostly charged.
The queen was merciful, and she originally felt that General Gao's collaboration with the enemy was very suspicious, so she agreed to Wanning's request.
The concubine is scheduled to leave in five days. Since it is not a micro-service patrol, the royal momentum is still required. Many maids had to accompany him, and there were countless guards to strengthen the royal momentum.
Wan Ning and Yi'er set the meeting place outside Chang'an City. As soon as the big team left the city, they saw that Yi'er and a group of people were already waiting. After Wan Ning and Shu Concubine resigned, they got into the carriage driven by Yi'er with Yan'er. Although Wan Ning sat down, her heart was not at ease. She grabbed Yan'er's hands, obviously wanting a sense of security.
Yi'er didn't drive forward in a hurry, he suddenly opened the curtain and asked with concern, "Miss Wanning, are you afraid?" ”
Wan Ning replied firmly, "Don't be afraid." ”
Yan'er knew Wanning best, and knew that she was just hard-mouthed at the moment, and comforted: "Miss, you really don't have to be afraid." This is the third time you have gone far away, but this time we ran out secretly, and the entourage cannot bring a lot of people, and the conditions are more difficult. Don't be afraid, we're all with you. ”
Wan Ning looked at her with teary eyes and said "um".
Yi'er turned around: "Miss Wanning, Yan'er is right. ”
"Let's go." Wan Ning ordered.
A few days after Wan Ning sneaked away, the emperor finally found out. He asked the queen, who didn't hide it from him, because she estimated that Wanning had already walked half the way.
The eldest grandson knelt in front of the emperor and said: "Wan Ning has escaped from the palace when she borrowed the concubine to return to Jiangnan Province, and she is bent on meeting her lover. I'm afraid I've walked more than half the way at this moment. ”
The queen has always been gentle and humble, and this remark shocked the emperor's heart: "Empress, you! You are so bold that you dare to unite to deceive me! In the name of going to Jiangnan, he set off to the northwest. ”
"Forgive the words of the concubine, the most important thing you should pay attention to at this moment is not the whereabouts of Wanning's little girl, but the war in the northwest. Do you really conclude that General Gao collaborated with the enemy? ”
The emperor looked at the eldest grandson who bowed his head slightly in front of him, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "Empress, get up, don't hurt our feelings because of a little girl." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Empress got up and sat down beside the Emperor.
The emperor took her hand and said, "You know that I have a little meaning for Wanning, and you still come to stimulate me. ”
"With all due respect, this is not to stimulate you, you need to accept the facts. Your Majesty, there are 3,000 beauties in your harem, and there are not many more of her Wanning, and there are many less of her. Wan Ning has only one person in her heart, if you forcibly possess her, just to grab a moment of pleasure, what is broken up is a pair of mandarin ducks, and what is destroyed is a pink beauty and a loyal general. The world can conquer any inch of emotionless land in the world, but the human heart cannot be completely conquered, even if you are the emperor. Once upon a time, as long as you liked it, the concubines didn't want you to get it. The concubine also hoped to include Wanning in the harem, but she had long found out that she and General Gao were rare true feelings in the world, and I hope you can fulfill them and fulfill a true relationship. ”
"If the northwest is pacified, and General Gao returns victorious, they won't be able to do it if I don't succeed."
"Then Wanning should go even more, don't you say?"
The emperor looked at her and did not answer.
Yi'er prepared the diagram in advance and rushed to the location mentioned in the young master's letter. The silver taels brought are enough, plus the guards are strong in various martial arts, the journey is quite smooth, and Wanning can't afford to lose.
It's just that in the end, there are still dozens of miles away from the barracks, but it is already the end of the curtain, and Yi'er still hasn't found a place to stay. He knew that if he didn't continue to hurry, he would have to sleep in the open tonight.
Miss Wanning had been bumpy all the way, and she was already exhausted. Although he was in a dilemma, he did not ask Wanning's opinion. No need to ask, she must be on her way. It is necessary to hurry to the barracks and find the young master quickly.
More than two hours later, when everyone saw the light of the barracks, they were all excited.
When they arrived at the barracks, everyone was blocked, thanks to one of the patrolling lieutenants, the adjutant general recognized Yi'er. He yelled at the soldier, "Bastard! Snubbing Miss Li, can you afford to be guilty? She has a better place in the general's heart than the lady. Don't ask anything, if you offend the boss, you have a good life! ”
At this time, Wan Ning didn't want to say anything more to anyone, she just wanted to see Brother Ziang a quarter of an hour earlier, and she didn't pursue anything, and ran towards the main general's tent one by one. The moment she saw Brother Ziang, she burst into tears instantly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she fainted to the ground.
