Chapter 145: On the Road
"What's that? A private interview with Weifu? ”
Jiang Ning's action of petting the cat paused slightly, as if he couldn't believe what Zheliu was saying.
"Yes, probably the emperor wants to deal with the rebellion in Qingshui County in person."
Jiang Ning felt that he couldn't listen to anything, and only the three words "Qingshui County" that Zheliu said repeatedly echoed in his ears.
She trembled all over her body, and the picture of the fire flashed in front of her eyes, almost reflexively, and the movement of holding the kitten in her hand tightened slightly, "No, this palace is not going." ”
"Mother." Zheliu said earnestly, "The emperor really wants to make peace with you by doing this, not to mention, how can all the ladies in the harem go this time?" ”
The turmoil in her mind had not subsided, and after the calamity, she left her homeland alone, never to return.
Still, the fire and the wails of pain often appeared in her dreams.
It was hard for Jiang Ning to imagine how he would face the painful memories that swept over him if he really returned to that place.
She was absent-minded, but she still said without a preface, "I can't go to this palace, if I go to this palace, who will take care of my kitten?" ”
Zheliu only thought that she was still having trouble with Mu Jingzhao, and she couldn't pull her face, so she found an excuse to escape.
Therefore, she still plays the role of a conscientious love expert, giving Jiang Ning patient persuasion.
"Niangniang, there are so many people in this harem, they will definitely not snub the kitten."
"Hongu still has to deal with the vegetable patch! The emperor left a mess waiting for me to clean up! ”
Ori Liu was speechless for a while, she stopped talking, but turned to look in the direction of the vegetable field, which she had already cleaned up earlier today.
"Niangniang, husband and wife always have no overnight feud, it's really not a way for you to escape like this, maybe once you go this time, you will find that everything is actually a small thing, and living a good life at the moment is the most important thing."
Zheliu's inadvertent words poked Jiang Ning's heart, Jiang Ning's breath was sudden, she looked out the window and stopped talking.
Ori Liu didn't bother her anymore, and only let her think about it alone.
After calming down, she instantly understood the intention of Mu Jingzhao's move.
Now Qingshui County is in turmoil, the rumors are loud, and it is Shen Tong's territory, Mu Jingzhao went alone, undoubtedly a sheep into the tiger's mouth, I am afraid that he will be eaten to the point that there is no bone residue left.
And in the harem, if there are only three concubines left, if Mu Jingzhao has the fate to return to the court, it is estimated that he will be separated from Jiang Ning Tianren forever.
Therefore, the best way is to make the movement of this outing bigger, the bigger the better, it is best to let everyone know, in this way, if Mu Jingzhao really has an accident in Qingshui County, the first person to be held accountable is Shen Tong.
And bringing all the concubines with him, firstly, is to ensure Jiang Ning's safety, and secondly, it can be regarded as holding the queen as a bargaining chip in his hand.
With such a daughter in his hands, even if he really wants to attack Mu Jingzhao and his party, he will leave some leeway in Shen Qingrong's face.
Therefore, Mu Jingzhao didn't come to discuss with her, but just asked Zheliu to bring the news.
That means that Jiang Ning has no choice at all, and in order to save her life, she has to go.
——————
The days flickered and came to the day when Mu Jingzhao went out on patrol, saying that he was on patrol in microclothes, but in fact, his momentum was even greater than anyone else's.
A column of troops was mighty, and they hung the national flag of Gongguo in front of the convoy, as if they were afraid that others would not know that this was their dear Emperor His Majesty.
The carriage moved forward unhurriedly for nearly three days, but it had not yet entered the boundary of Qingshui County.
After Mu Jingzhao asked the coachman about the distance, his face showed surprise, "How did you go from Qingshui County to Kyoto alone?" ”
Jiang Ning didn't say anything, Mu Jingzhao had long been accustomed to it, turned his head and lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the scenery outside the window casually.
These days, Mu Jingzhao has been sharing a carriage with Jiang Ning, and he doesn't know what Zheliu told him, which made Mu Jingzhao feel that Jiang Ning's indifference to him is because he is shy and not good at words.
So, before the convoy left, he said that he had to be with Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning's refusal and opposition have become the shame and insincerity in his mouth.
The final result was that Jiang Ning really couldn't resist him, so he had to reluctantly agree.
But even if they always share a carriage, the communication between the two is very little, at first Mu Jingzhao tried to chat with her, but later found out that Jiang Ning didn't care much about people, he didn't talk much, and the two walked relatively wordless for two days.
Hearing Mu Jingzhao's question, Jiang Ning closed his eyes a little tiredly, and the feeling of hunger and cold returned.
"I don't know how I got there, so I just walked aimlessly with the beggars who passed by, and when they said that there was something to eat, I went somewhere, and as I walked, someone told me that I had come to Kyoto."
Jiang Ning's tone was light and breezy, but Mu Jingzhao seemed to hear something different from it.
His hand that was originally lifting the curtain slowly fell, and he turned his head to look at Jiang Ning, with a flash of pain in his eyes, "Then it seems that all this is arranged by God, and God is destined to let me meet you." ”
Jiang Ning lowered his eyes and did not speak.
She doesn't know how many years she hasn't returned to Qingshui County, and the appearance in her memory has long been yellowed and blurred, but these days, she clearly feels that what is called homesickness is more timid.
"What did you play with when you were a kid?"
"Catch fish, climb trees, hunt rabbits."
Hearing this answer, which was completely inconsistent with his imagination, Mu Jingzhao burst out laughing, and the atmosphere in the entire carriage became a little lighter, "I thought you would say that you loved to tell stories to children on the street with a fake beard since you were a child. ”
She shook her head, "The concubine can tell stories because it's the only business I can learn to do without investing money." ”
Mu Jingzhao didn't want to continue to talk about this topic at all, he tilted his head slightly, "Are you playing alone?" Or are there other friends? ”
"Playing with the boys in the neighborhood. I have a younger sister, but she has a quiet personality and doesn't like such a noisy game. ”
Mu Jingzhao's face showed a bit of astonishment, "Those boys are willing to play with you?" ”
"At first, I didn't want to, so I competed with them, and if I won, I must take me, and if I lose, I will do whatever they want."
Mu Jingzhao's back was softly pressed against the wall of the car, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to be quite interested, "What is the result?" ”
"I haven't lost." Jiang Ning's back straightened silently, and there was a hint of imperceptible pride on his face.
