Yanzhou Post Station is the last post station in Qingzhou. After Yanzhou, you can reach Qingzhou by another day.

Zhao Wanning and Zhao Wangshu have returned to the team of the Royal Forest Army, knowing that Zhao Chenan has bad intentions, Zhao Wanning and Zhao Wangshu have no idea of traveling around, so it is better to go back.

Master Wuji didn't follow them, he still had something to do, and a few people made an appointment to meet in Qingzhou in five days.

Seeing Qi Chuan return to the team, Captain Zheng was really relieved.

He was originally an adjutant, and it was also because of the will of the saint that he followed Qi Shen on this trip.

Qi Shen came back, so he didn't have to follow the two nobles in front of the saddle. Although after Qi Chuan left, the two nobles were quiet and did not make any strange requests.

But the people he wants to protect are the princess of Chaoyang and the lord of Qinghe, both of whom are golden branches and jade leaves, and he is afraid that he will not do well in a rough life, so the two nobles casually said to the saint and gave him a crime of disrespect.

"Good work, Brother Zheng." Qi Shen patted Captain Zheng's shoulder.

"No hard work, no hard work." Captain Zheng smiled innocently, he scratched the back of his head, and asked tentatively, "Captain Qidu, will you leave again?" ”

Qi Wei glanced at Zhao Wanning's room, he knew that at this moment, Zhao Wanning and Zhao Wangshu had already changed their clothes and had dinner in the room, since they were willing to come back with him, they wouldn't leave again, right?

Seeing that Qi Chuan was a little distracted, Captain Zheng shouted tentatively again: "Captain Qi? ”

Qi Shen came back to his senses, he nodded, and then said, "If you don't leave, I will escort the two nobles all the way, and I will stay with you until I return to the capital." ”

Captain Zheng smiled even more happily.

Inside the room.

Zhao Wanning changed her clothes, she sat at the table, the food at the post station was very rich, and the silver candle kept whispering in her ear.

"County Lord, you don't know how fierce that Qi Du Lieutenant is! He rushed in directly, asked us where you and the eldest princess had gone, and said that he would repay the saint and cure our sins! ”

"You were so wise to divorce him in the first place. You didn't even see that look on his face at that time, like a hell rakshasa at that time. It's scary! ”

The painting screen has not spoken, and stands quietly on the side to give her food.

Zhao Wanning patted the back of the silver candle's hand soothingly, and said, "Don't worry, with me and the eldest princess here, he won't dare to mess around." ”

As soon as Zhao Wanning spoke, Yinzhu was even more aggrieved, and she said with a crying voice: "County Lord, don't do this next time, you don't know how worried I and the picture screen are about you, and I am worried about you every day, for fear that you will ......"

"Isn't there a celestial princess?" Zhao Wanning interrupted her, "Don't you still believe in the eldest princess?" Besides, there is also chasing the wind to protect secretly. ”

Hearing this, Silver Candle was even more aggrieved, she raised her voice and said: "The eldest princess is brave and strategic, both civil and military, and she can protect you thoroughly, but she is a princess, you are the county lord, you are by the side of the eldest princess, you always want to, you want to ...... Bow down to her. ”

The more Silver Candle spoke, the quieter her voice became, and she didn't know how to express it. Zhao Wanning really doesn't have to worry about her safety with the eldest princess, but the eldest princess is not an ordinary family, the two of them travel alone, and it is reasonable for Zhao Wanning, as the county lord, to hold the eldest princess.

Silver Candle is afraid that Zhao Wanning will be wronged. As Zhao Wanning's maid, she still has to avoid some maids around the eldest princess, so you can imagine Zhao Wanning's situation.

Zhao Wanning suddenly realized, she understood the meaning of the silver candle, and was a little embarrassed, it turned out that her identity and status were such an oppressive existence.

Zhao Wanning recalled the relationship between her and the eldest princess Zhao Wangshu, thinking about it carefully, Zhao Wangshu did not have any princess shelf, whether it was with her, or Xiao Hongyi, or even the lady who took care of Jishantang for her, she treated everyone equally.

When Zhao Wanning and Zhao Wangshu get along, they are like ordinary sisters, relaxed and unscrupulous.

On the other hand, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Zhao Wanning is always frightened when he gets along with him, without him, Zhao Wangjin's innate sense of superiority is almost engraved into the bone marrow, and all of them are telling the world that he is His Royal Highness the Prince.

"I know that our Silver Candle is also for my good," Zhao Wanning took Silver Candle's hand and asked her to sit down.

The silver candle was a little angry, and she stiffened and just didn't sit.

There was no way, Zhao Wanning had no choice but to get up, one in one hand, holding the silver candle and the painting screen, and the three of them sat down together.

"It's been a hard few days, you two." Zhao Wanning said seriously: "Don't worry, the eldest princess treats me very well, you don't have to worry about me being wronged." ”

Silver Candle snorted softly and did not speak.

Zhao Wanning was not angry, she knew that the silver candle was also thinking about her, so she continued: "You are my maids, and I have me behind you to support you, so you don't have to grovel in front of others." ”

"But this kind of day won't be long, and when this crisis is resolved, I will find a way to take you out of the Eldest Princess's Mansion. Where do you want to go? I've heard that the weather in the Lingnan area is hot and there will be no cold winters, so let's go there. ”

"If you go there, you can eat lychees every day."

Silver Candle burst into laughter, and she muttered: "The county lord will laugh, and lychees are not available every day." ”

Zhao Wanning finally showed a smile when she saw the silver candle, and finally put her mind at ease. She picked up a piece of taro and sweet potato balls with chopsticks, the balls were fried golden and crispy, and she looked very appetizing.

Zhao Wanning tasted it, and it was really delicious.

Early the next morning, the great force of the Imperial Forest Army set off in a majestic manner.

The farther north you go, the colder it gets.

Thick mats were laid in the carriage, and a blanket was taken for Zhao Wanning to cover.

Zhao Wanning was covered with a blanket and held a soup woman in her hand, but she was still shivering from the cold, and the tips of her cheeks and nose were red.

She opened the window of the carriage and saw Qi Chuan in black armor riding a horse following the carriage, his red cloak blown up by the wind, and it seemed that he was not blocking the wind at all.

"Qingzhou is much colder than the capital, you carefully don't freeze. We're here to deal with the plague, and we're going to take care of you if you get sick. Zhao Wangshu said and tucked the blanket on her body again.

Xu heard the movement in the carriage, and Qi turned his head to look at the carriage.

Zhao Wanning hurriedly lowered the window.

She looked at Zhao Wangshu still dressed lightly, and she was a little envious: "Why don't you feel cold?" I see you're dressed a lot less than I am. ”

Zhao Wangshu raised his eyebrows and said: "Because I have internal strength, I can resist the cold when I exercise." ”

"I really want to have internal strength!" Zhao Wanning said indignantly: "I'm about to die of cold." ”

Zhao Wangshu smiled: "This is considered cold?" I've been to Beidi, where the water is dripping into ice, and Qingzhou is warmer than there. ”

Zhao Wanning pursed her lips and muttered, "Don't laugh at me!" I have never been to Beidi, and this time I came to Qingzhou for the first time to leave the capital. ”

"It doesn't count to go to the Beijing suburb hospital."

Zhao Wangshu took her hand and said, "I didn't laugh at you." I know that you have been trapped in the Eldest Princess's Mansion and have not been allowed to be free. If you can, I hope you can travel all over the world, not only in the Great Zhou, but also in Beidi, Xijing, Nansheng......"

"There is not only the capital in this world, nor is it only the Great Zhou. The capital is very good, there are mountains and rivers, the four seasons are distinct, and the products are abundant. ”

"But the mountains in the west are also very beautiful, towering into the clouds, and the top of the snow-capped mountains is like a fairyland. The grassland of Beidi is also very beautiful, the world is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. There is also the desert outside the Yumen Pass, you can only know what the desert is called lonely and straight, and the sun sets over the long river. ”

"Wanning, I hope you can go out and take a look."

Zhao Wangshu said sincerely, her face was calm, as if she was just describing what she had seen and heard.

Zhao Wanning was also yearning for her. After she was reborn, she wanted to leave the Eldest Princess's Mansion and leave the capital, and no longer looked at Zhao Chen'an in the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

After listening to what Qi Zhen said about Zhao Chen'an's actions, she was even more determined to want to leave. She originally thought that Zhao Chen'an was just envious of the rich life of the eldest princess's mansion, so she had been currying favor with the eldest princess, and even wanted to replace her position.

Zhao Chenan wanted it, so she gave it. Left and right, she has also done enough of this Qinghe County Lord.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chenan had other plans, and the Eldest Princess's Mansion was just a springboard for her. She had a vague guess in her heart that Zhao Chen'an's plan was so big, I am afraid that it was not the position of the crown princess.

But what does she want as a woman, apart from the position of the crown princess and the future mother of a country?

Zhao Wanning couldn't figure it out, but she didn't want to continue to embarrass herself.

This trip to Qingzhou is not only to solve the plague, but also to train Zhao Wanning himself. After all, she had never left the capital, and she also wanted to see if she could adapt to life outside the capital.

Or she wanted to see if she could stand on her own without the protection of the eldest princess's mansion.

Suddenly, the carriage jerked forward, and Zhao Wanning, who was deep in thought, was startled.

Qi Zhen hurriedly drove his horse forward to check, and it turned out that the axle on the right side of the carriage was broken.

"How long will it take?" Qi asked asked.

The coachman squatted down and examined it before he spoke, "I'm afraid it's going to be half an hour younger." ”

Qi Zhen looked at the sky, it was still early at this time, but it was only half an hour, and they were able to rush to Qingzhou after the carriage was repaired.

"Okay, then you can fix it."

"Captain Qi, when repairing the carriage, no one can be left in the carriage, otherwise it is easy to be injured and may need to be ......" The coachman looked at the carriage and did not dare to say it clearly.

Qi Zhen understood, the coachman meant to ask him to ask the two nobles in the carriage to get off the carriage and wait, otherwise they would stay in the carriage and be easily injured during repairs.

Qi Shen looked around and saw a temple in front of him, and as soon as his mind turned, he had an idea.

"Celestial Princess, Lord of the County." Qi Shen knocked on the carriage window.

Princess Celestia said in a deep voice, "How? What's going on out there? ”

Qi Zhen said respectfully: "Eldest Princess, the right wheel axle of the carriage is broken and needs to be repaired. ”

"There is a temple ahead, and I respectfully invite the eldest princess and the county lord to get off the car and rest."

There were four carriages in their group, the first one sat Zhao Wangshu and Zhao Wanning, the second and third cars sat their maids and luggage, crowded to the brim, and the last carriage was the imperial doctor brought by the palace.

It is not good for Qi Zhen to let the princess and the county lord follow the carriage, and it is even more difficult for the two golden branches and jade leaves to stand in the cold wind and wait, but fortunately there is a temple in front of them.

Zhao Wangshu and Zhao Wanning got out of the carriage.

Zhao Wanning was wearing a thick cloak, and she also brought a hat, which rolled a circle of snow-white rabbit fur, lining her cheeks like jade, bright and charming.

Qi Shen couldn't take his eyes off it, and for a while he could only hear the sound of his heart beating.

Bang bang, bang bang.

The silver candle and the painting screen saw Zhao Wanning get out of the carriage, so they also got down. Ah Tao also felt that the carriage was stuffy, and got out of the carriage together.

Several people went to the temple together, leaving them standing in place.

At this moment, looking at Zhao Wanning's back, Qi Zhen did have the idea of regret.

He shouldn't have divorced.
