The Golden Bough and the Dog vs 59

"That's fine." Someone took care of them, Tang Xian was relieved, and thought in her heart that if she had the opportunity in the future, she would thank Meng Siqing again.

Seeing that Tang Shu's mouth was dry, Tang Xian poured water for her, wrapped her shoulders, and fed her like she did when she was a child.

Tang Shu was shy, and her hands were so restrained that she had nowhere to put them, but she didn't say no.

When the two sisters fell in love with each other, Tang Nianzhi urged: "There are a lot of officers and soldiers on the shore!" Hurry up, or someone will find the water later! ”

Taking advantage of the chaos in the stands, the boats they were in blended into the rest of the boats on the Tanglin River, and the identical boats were passing through the water, making it difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye.

I am afraid that the government will forcibly order a search, and when the time comes, the three of them will stand together, and their identities will be directly exposed.

Tang Xian leaned over to take a look, the water stand was still surrounded by wolf smoke, and in addition to the crowded crowd on the riverbank, there were many officers and soldiers, dumb people and others among them.

She hurriedly shrank back.

And after Tang Shu was urged, she directly said the point: "Sister, you have to go back to the imperial mausoleum." ”

Tang Xian was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head in embarrassment, and said dryly: "Yes, I have to go back......"

She disappeared plainly and entered the palace, and the family couldn't escape.

Her destination is only the Imperial Tomb, and she must go back.

"Yes, you go back first, and die there...... Oh, it's not really dead, you hear me ......."

After the four members of the Tang family were demoted, they have been living the lives of ordinary people in silence, never interacting with the local eunuchs, and moving around except for the poor neighbors, there is no one else.

At first, the local officials were still watching their family at the behest of the above, but then the emperor changed several times in succession, and the local officials also changed, and gradually no one remembered this secret decree.

But Tang's father never forgot that he still had a daughter who was imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum.

He has been an official for nearly 20 years, and he has watched the emperors change one after another in a short period of time, and he keenly smells the surge in political affairs.

Tang's father speculated that in the next one or two years, foreign envoys would come to tempt him in the name of worship, and he informed Meng Siqing of this before he entered Beijing.

Later, after Meng Siqing, who was an official in the court, confirmed that there would be foreign envoys entering Beijing in September, he replied to Tang's father as soon as possible.

Tang's father came up with a plan to save his daughter.

"When the foreign envoys come to test the depth of the national power in September, the imperial court will certainly devote all its energy to dealing with foreign nations. If you die there...... sister."

A concubine who had been deposed for many years died in the imperial mausoleum, but she was once a serious queen, and she had to go through some necessary ceremonies to preserve the dignity of the royal family.

But at this critical juncture, her death was exposed, and if she was not careful, she would become a joke in the eyes of the Gentile envoys.

Dealing with it quietly in secret is the best choice.

"Meng Siqing works in Honglu Temple, but he has little qualifications and can only be responsible for some small things, so let him take the initiative to apply for your sister's funeral."

"This matter can't be fished, and it has anything to do with our family, and no one wants to get into trouble, so it's easy to take it."

Tang Shu grabbed Tang Xian's hand, and there was a seriousness on her immature cheeks, "For so many years, my father has been keeping to himself, and what I am waiting for is this opportunity once and for all." ”

"Sister, after you fake your death and get out, let's move a few more times, move outside the customs, and my father and mother will take a few more righteous daughters, you will be mixed in, far away from the capital, no one will be able to find out......"

Tang Xian was stunned when she heard this, she thought about leaving the imperial tomb forever, but it was far from being as good as her father thought.

faked his death, completely separated from the royal family, except for one Meng Siqing, no one knew.

"Meng Siqing ......"

"He sees his parents as reborn parents, and he will say yes. Taking a step back, he has already helped me and my second brother enter Beijing as a cover, and he has no choice. ”

Tang Xian was in a trance, and when she saw that Tang Shu still wanted to speak, she held her in her arms, unwittingly stroked the back of her head, and fell into deep thought.

In September, the matter of foreign pilgrimage, Yun Zhu discussed with Bai Taishi, and that was already a sure thing.

At that moment, it seemed that the cloud stop was also going to make a move.

At that time, Jingzhong will be in chaos, and no one will care whether she lives or dies after she is abolished.

All it takes is a petty official in charge of the funeral to answer her, and she can escape from the imperial tomb forever.

Over the years, Tang Xian has thought of and discussed many methods with her maids, but none of them have been implemented, and this is the only feasible and successful method she has ever heard.

The rest of the people in the imperial tomb were not guilty in the first place, and it would have been much easier for someone to intercede for them after she was "dead."

The problem that has plagued Tang Xian for many years, as if all of them have been solved at this moment, she is like stepping on a cloud, her feet are fluttering, and there is a sense of unreality.

Tang Xian's eyes were confused and thought for a while, then she lowered her head and pinched her sister's face.

"It hurts!" Tang Shu shouted.

She beckoned to Tang Nianzhi again, and when the person came to him, Tang Xian pinched his face fairly.

"It's true, it's not a dream!" Tang Nianzhi was angry, "Why don't you pinch yourself?" Who did you learn so badly from? ”

Who did you learn from?

That can only be the cloud stopped.

When he encounters this kind of thing, he will only pinch others, and will never pinch his own.

Thinking of Yun Zhu, Tang Xian remembered that he had framed himself to destroy his innocence.

Yun stopped wanting to marry her.

It was impossible before, but now, Tang Xian is expected to regain her free body, and after changing her name and surname, she will be an ordinary girl who is a little older.

Ordinary girls, of course, can get married......

The boat shook, and Tang Xian seemed to have returned to the canopy boat full of lanterns, and she had a white cloud in her heart, which swelled rapidly, and was about to support her in the air.

"How did you get out of the Imperial Tomb? Who is the little girl with you? Why does she call you Maomao? What's going on with Shuang'er? And who went to Yuzhou to post the portrait? After the matter was explained, it was the turn of the younger brothers and sisters to ask Tang Xian in turn.

"Yes, yes......" This is a long story, Tang Xian stammered, and for some reason she couldn't say the name of Yun Zhu.

It was he who embarrassed himself and sent someone to Yuzhou to post the portrait. It was also him who protected himself and wanted to marry her.

"It was Yanxia who brought me out......" After saying for a long time, she only said Yanxia's name.

The younger siblings were just about to ask who this was, when the painting boat suddenly shook, as if something was climbing up.

The three of them hurriedly stabilized their figures, and at the same time looked out through the crack in the curtain and saw a man dragging his long black wet hair crawling onto the boat in a deformed manner.

It's like a water ghost on a boat.

The twins were so frightened that they trembled, Tang Nianzhi was a conceited man, with a white face, so he picked up a stool and rushed forward, and was dragged back by Tang Xian.

This effort made her wound hurt.

Tang Xian was actually so frightened that her hair stood up, but she caught a glimpse of familiarity in the terrifying figure in her fright.

"Smoke?" She asked tentatively.

The "water ghost" raised his head, revealing Yanxia's familiar face.

Yanxia spat out a few mouthfuls of river water, lay on the board of the boat and said sadly: "I can be regarded as finding you!" You don't know how tightly the mansion is guarded by mute them! ”

Before he could say a word, there was a neighing of horses from the shore.

Before Tang Xian could look out, Yanxia let out a miserable scream and climbed into the cabin of the painting boat.

"He's back! How did he come back so soon? Help me! ”

After shouting two words, she ran out again, trying to escape by jumping into the water.

Tang Xian grabbed her and looked towards the riverbank, and saw a horse on the riverbank raising its front hooves high, almost standing upright on the ground with its back hoof, but the person on his back was holding the reins with one hand, as steady as a rock.

When the neighing of the horse was over, the figure on its back swayed slightly.

I couldn't see the face clearly against the light, but that figure Tang Xian was very familiar with, and it was a cloud stop.

Her heart raced, and then she saw the clouds stop passing over the water stand and pointing directly at the painting boat on the water.

"He's going to search the boat."

The three people on the boat, except for Tang Xian, had not yet exchanged their names, and their faces changed together.

The painting boat is slow, and it is unlikely that you can escape by relying on it.

There were too many people on the shore, and Tang Xian and the twins appeared at the same time, so it was too easy for people to recognize that they were related.

If your identity is exposed, you will definitely die.

"My second brother and I jumped into the water, and after going ashore, we went directly back to the Zhuangyuan's Mansion, and said that the stands collapsed, and we fell into the water and were rescued by the servants!" Tang Shu immediately decided, seeing that Tang Xian was going to object, she promised, "My second brother and I have learned to drink water, and we can climb trees, don't worry!" ”

Tang Xian didn't feel sorry why her younger siblings would learn these things, so she reluctantly agreed, but she didn't know how to do water, and she couldn't escape from the stands to the painting boat alone, and she needed someone to help her or hold her hostage.

She looked at the smoke that was slumped on the ground.

Yanxia wailed: "I worked so hard to catch up just to be a scapegoat for your sister and brother!" ”

But as the saying goes, if you have a lot of debt, you can't weigh down, so she still agreed.

The guards had already arrived in small boats, and the twins could not delay and went into the water.

"I'll ask Yanxia to go to Meng Siqing's mansion to find you...... You two watch out for twigs and water snakes in the water, don't get hurt. Also, obediently, when you see that this is not right, you should leave Beijing as soon as possible...... I'm safe, there is a way to go back to the imperial mausoleum, don't worry about me......" Tang Xian reluctantly hurriedly instructed.

"Got it, my little sister and I are waiting for this smoky girl." Tang Nianzhi didn't let her say that there were some of them, and he grabbed the side of the boat and emphasized to her seriously, "I said that I would come to pick you up." This time it won't count, wait until September...... You wait! ”

With that, he dived into the water with bated breath.

Tang Shu grabbed Tang Xian's fingers, exposed her small dimples at her, and dived down.

In an instant, Tang Xian was the only one left on the side of the boat, and she looked at the rippling blue water, and began to wonder if she had really seen her younger siblings.

“…… Empress! Mother, come over here...... I'm running out of energy! The name that she hadn't heard for a long time woke Tang Xian up.

Turning back to the cabin, I saw the smoke and panic.

Yanxia pleaded, "This time I'm really going to die without a corpse!" Mother, you save me! ”

Chapter 49: Instigation

This is the second time Yanxia has asked Tang Xian for help, Tang Xian still doesn't understand why she is asking for help, but she is not in a hurry to ask, she has more important things to confirm with Yanxia.

"You are here, who is replacing me in the Imperial Mausoleum?"

After talking to her younger siblings, Tang Xian's most important thing was whether she had been discovered after she left the imperial tomb.

If she is not discovered, she will be able to go back, and she will be able to reunite with her family for a few months, and from then on she will be able to come and go freely.
