Chapter 64

It has been three days since the news of the eldest princess's "serious illness and dying" spread.

In the most majestic imperial city in the capital, the most noble emperor of Dongsheng turned black after reading the secret report, fainted, and slowly woke up after Gonggong Kang urgently found the imperial doctor.

"Sister...... Sister! He struggled up from the couch and was about to run out, but was stopped by Gonggong Kang, who was screaming.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Gonggong Kang had the courage to block in front of Xiao Xunguang, and persuaded him seriously, "The princess is still in Jiazhou, where are you going!" ”

Xiao Xunguang is simply a master of the six gods, "I'm going to Jiazhou." ”

Gonggong Kang helped him smooth and relieved him again, "Your Majesty, the Hou Ye is by the princess's side, this will definitely find a famous doctor to treat the princess, and ah, maybe he is preparing to take the princess back to Beijing?" In case you go to Jiazhou, and the Hou Ye comes back with the princess, isn't it missed again? ”

"Missed? Right...... Can't miss it. Xiao Xunguang ran back to the back of the imperial case, picked up Zihao's pen and dipped it in ink twice at random and began to write instructions.

Gonggong Kang looked at the focused expression of His Majesty, who he had watched since he was a child, sigh silently, and could only replace the cold tea with a new one.

The willow green curtain covers the pavilion near the water, and even the figure of the people in the pavilion is also covered.

Only two faint voices passed through the willow curtain.

A man's deep voice said, "Actually got it?" Zhao Wu is still a little useful. ”

Another sharper voice followed: "The informant just reported it, and the one in the palace fainted in fright. ”

"Hush." The deep male voice sneered: "Huangkou Xiaoer, with this little guts, if I left his sister, the world would have been mine three years ago." ”

A sharp voice slapped the horse, and asked cautiously: "Lord Wang, where is the concubine...... But it's still locked up in Shou'an Palace! We've got to figure out a way! ”

"It's not true." The male voice was silent for a while and then said, "During this time, she suffered in the palace, and Xiao Yunjiao died, which can be regarded as giving her a sigh of relief." Looking for an opportunity to let the people from the Ministry of Rites talk, how can you say that it is also a concubine, what does the Cui family have to do with her, a person who married into the Xiao family? ”

"What the prince said is that the slave will go to the Lord of the Ministry of Rites to pass the word." The shrill voice said tentatively, and the person sitting in the pavilion waved his hand before bending down and retreating.

After there was only one person left in the pavilion, the man got up and walked to the edge of the pavilion, the corner of the purple robe was exposed, and the figure standing with his hands in his hands was more obvious.

He lit the secret letter that he had just held in his hand, and watched the flames consume the paper, even when it reached the tips of his fingers.

It wasn't until the letter burned out and all turned into gray-black wreckage that it shattered at the touch of a touch, that he raised his arms and let them drift away in the wind.

The splendid solemn hall was soon put forward by the Rite Attendant Sun on the agenda.

"Your Majesty, my dynasty has always ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety. The concubine Niangniang has lived in Shou'an Palace for a long time, and has long been sick, and the lower officials believe that it is time to lift the grounding of Niangniang in order to show His Majesty's benevolence. ”

Xiao Xunguang sat on the dragon chair and listened to his recital with his temper. He raised his eyes and looked around the hall, and there was no minister surnamed Cui. Therefore, he spoke: "The Ministry of Rites has heard the recital of the Ministry of Rites, what are your opinions, can you tell me?" ”

As the saying goes, the tree falls and the tree is scattered, and the Cui family's crime is too big, so naturally no one will speak for them. But as the saying goes, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the rabbit is sad and the fox is sad, not to mention that some people get the order to echo the proposal of the Ministry of Rites, so the Qintian Prison is standing up......

"Your Majesty, the ministers watched the stars at night, and saw that although the purple microstar was shining, there were faint thin clouds around it, and I think it was Your Majesty's kinship that was not prosperous now, so it was like this, if you don't remedy it in time, over time, I am afraid that it will hurt the fortune of the country."

He didn't speak directly for Concubine Cui, but he used the national fortune as a cover, and no one could say anything.

Xiao Xunguang sneered, "Although my kinship is shallow, it has nothing to do with the concubine Niangniang, I think it will be just as useful if Brother Jing Wang works hard." ”

These words made the people of the Ministry of Rites take advantage of the loophole. ran out again and began to discuss the three outlines and five constants with him, and they were noisy for a while.

Yue Minshan had been listening silently, and when he saw that there were different opinions, he finally couldn't help but walk out.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that although Concubine Cui is not His Majesty's biological mother, she is not in the back seat, but she is the biological mother of the king, even if it is to respect the king's face, she should not be grounded in the deep palace for a long time."

Xiao Xunguang looked at the teacher, and Lu Xuwen nodded at him invisibly.

Although he was reluctant in his heart, he couldn't stand a set of righteous and awe-inspiring words, so he nodded, "In that case, I will order the lifting of the concubine's grounding." It's just that the concubine has been ill for a long time, so it's not suitable to work hard, if anyone wants to visit, let's talk to me first. ”

There was a lot of noise in the imperial city here because of the grounding of a concubine, but there was a dead silence in Jiazhou City over there.

The doctors all over the city were invited to the orchid garden like water, and walked out one by one shaking their heads and sighing.

"This person has no pulse, even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated, there is no cure!" The gray-bearded old doctor frowned and said to the younger doctor next to him.

The young doctor also shook his head, "I heard that we have a princess living here, this time there is going to be trouble, hurry up and go, don't implicate us again." ”

"Hey, why is it that the young one is gone." The old doctor sighed again and left with the medicine box on his back.

Neither of them noticed that the little beggar sitting on the straw mat by the wall listened to the words, and ran away without a trace.

……

The thin gauze curtain was lifted by a plain white slender jade hand, Xiao Yunjiao held a piece of wood tied with red thread, and said to Shen Yuzhou, who was sitting on the edge of the bed: "I didn't expect this thing to really work." ”

Shen Yuzhou took the wood away and pressed her on the bed again, "You can rest for a while, although the drug only makes people faint, but after all, it still hurts the body, and it is always right to rest more." ”

"Is it okay to see my doctor that day?" Xiao Yun said.

"When you wake up, I've kicked him out, and he can't see it." Shen Yuzhou didn't tell her that the person had been detained.

Xiao Yunjiao leaned against the head of the bed and sighed, "This feels amazing, as if I saw myself dead in advance......"

Before he finished speaking, he was covered by Shen Yuzhou, "If you say anything unlucky, it's all fake." ”

Xiao Yunjiao smiled, "You are used to fighting horses, do you still believe in these?" ”

Shen Yuzhou pressed his forehead against her and said almost reverently: "I believe everything about you." ”

His forehead was pressed against hers, and both hands were still gripping her wrists, as if he was afraid that she would literally disappear from his presence.

Xiao Yunjiao held his palm with his backhand, and the ten slender fingers drilled into his fingertips, and then clasped them tightly together.

"I'm not going away."

She didn't know why Shen Yuzhou had gone and returned that day, and she didn't know how he felt when he saw her submerged in the tub. But in the last few days, he always liked to stare straight at her, and he wouldn't change his position for a long time, until she told him to do something.

Xiao Yunjiao knew that he was afraid.

No matter how noble her status is, no matter how beautiful her looks are, no matter how brilliant her mind is...... Death doesn't let anyone go so easily.

He was still with her in the previous cliff fall, but this time she was almost dead - drowned in the bathing water.

What a ridiculous way to die.

But people are so fragile that they don't become strong because of the way they die.

After staying quietly together for a while, Xiao Yunjiao said softly: "I want to go back to Beijing." ”

Xiao Xunguang must be crazy.

Shen Yuzhou nodded, "Okay." It's just that if you go back to Beijing...... Need to carry the coffin. ”

Xiao Yunjiao understood that this was to prevent anyone from coming to assassinate her on the road, and after announcing that she was "dead", they could turn from light to darkness and catch the big rat hiding in the shadows.

She said "um" and said, "Go back as soon as possible, the day is close to the day when King Jing returns to Beijing to report on his work, and they should also start to leave for the capital, I am afraid that there will be changes in life in the court." ”

She remembered something again, "Is Fu Mingyuan back?" ”

Shen Yuzhou said, "I'm back, do you have anything to tell him to do?" ”

Xiao Yunjiao asked rhetorically, "Do you remember the two women we met when we first came to Jiazhou?" ”

"You mean, Jiang Miao's family, who was kicked out by her mother-in-law's family, and Li Fang's mother-in-law, who sold flowers, Xiaohe?" Shen Yuzhou still remembers it clearly.

Xiao Yunjiao nodded, "That's right, we're leaving, and we still have to do what we promised them before leaving." ”

Since Fu Mingyuan took control of the private mine, he made an inquiry among the survivors to find out where their family was and who else was in the family. If they are in good health and can return home on their own, they will send some money to go home on their own, and if they are weak, they will send someone to send them back, which is also a good thing. ”

Shen Yuzhou understood what she meant very well, and immediately asked Fu Mingyuan to explain.

"I see." After hearing this, Fu Mingyuan nodded seriously, looked at Shen Yuzhou, and asked cautiously, "How is the princess?" ”

Shen Yuzhou closed his eyes and shook his head, without saying a word. Fu Mingyuan didn't ask any more questions, but his heart was a little heavier.

Xiao Yunjiao's accident this time made him a little uneasy. Fu Mingyuan suddenly became much more stable in just a few days, knowing that he had no ability to save the princess, he did his best to help Shen Yuzhou deal with chores, just hoping to get God's mercy so that the pair of hard-working mandarin ducks could get along for a little longer.

He patted Shen Yuzhou on the shoulder, "It'll be fine, she is the eldest princess, and she has the blessing of God." ”

Shen Yuzhou lowered his head and didn't look at him - he was afraid that he would expose his flaws in front of Fu Mingyuan, and he also felt a little guilty of hiding his relatives and friends.

"Promise your good words."

Fu Mingyuan didn't know what he was thinking, he only felt that his eyes were a little sour, something was about to drip down, and he hurriedly said that he was going to run errands and left here.

Shen Yuzhou was speechless for a long time, and felt that it would be better to lie to him a few less times in the future.

This little bit of virtue accumulated by sending labor back to the family, I don't know if I can make up for this lack of lying?
