"I just woke up." Saying that, Song Suqing raised his hand to cover his mouth, yawned in small pieces, his eyes swept over the people who were resting under the shade of the tree, and asked, "How far are we from the capital now?" ”

Pei Muyao raised his hand and handed the teacup to her lips and said, "A hundred miles away." ”

Song Xu nodded clearly, subconsciously followed his movements, lowered his head and took a sip of tea to moisten his dry throat.

This short section of the road from Beijing is the official road, so the time will be much shorter, but after the rest is over, the departure to the courtyard for night rest is the side road, and the foot is much slower than the official road.

However, in order to hurry after resting, they also chose the official road in Linjiang to stop and rest.

Although it is already noon when the sun is high, the breeze blowing slowly carries a little coolness of the river, but it is also a good place to go.

Song Suqing sat under the shade of the tree, biting the dry food in small bites of Qingshui, listening to Zechuan report the situation to Pei Muyao, only to learn that if it was their progress, they would arrive in Shanzhou tomorrow afternoon.

She listened and listened, and realized that Qi An didn't know where to go, but it was Zechuan, who was waiting for the daily life, to report the steps.

After Zechuan bowed and left, Song Suqing raised his neck slightly, looked at Pei Muyao with dark eyes, and asked puzzledly: "Are we going to enter Shanzhou with great fanfare?" ”

Glancing at the fair-skinned and slender long neck, Pei Muyao's throat tightened, and he said after a long while: "Since it has all passed, there is no reason not to go in." ”

He lifted the hem of his coat in his palm, found a position beside her, and sat cross-legged.

The blazing sun fell above his head through the blocking barrier, and Song Suqing moved a little to the side, "Sit down a little." ”

The familiar scent was mixed with a little bit of heart-warming warmth, casually brushing the tip of her nose, and ripples rippled in the calm surface of the lake.

For a moment, Song Suqing lost his mind slightly.

With the crisp snapping of her fingers, she came back to her senses and looked blankly.

The dark and deep pupils were like a midsummer storm, intending to sweep her into the wind, Song Suqing bit her lower lip and said in a trembling voice: "Entering Shanzhou, will it attract Pei Yichen's attention?" ”

Pei Muyao stretched out his hand, and his fingertips with the cool feeling of the river breeze slid across her lips, wiping away the slightest drop of water.

Song Xuqing's breath stagnated for a moment, and he looked at him in a daze.

Catching a glimpse of the guards who seemed to be looking at her, her body froze slightly, and she didn't dare to move.

Fortunately, Pei Muyao didn't continue to do anything, but withdrew his hand and said, "If you don't enter Shanzhou, it will attract his attention, so it's better to enter with great fanfare." ”

Shicai Zechuan came to report that not long after they left Beijing, someone saw Pei Yichen and Gu Qinning in a restaurant not far from the city gate.

Song Xu cleared his chin, thinking about it, he felt that this was the truth.

Pei Muyao went out of Beijing, or went to Shaozhou, Zhuzhou and other important places, with Pei Yichen's temperament, it was impossible to sit idly by and let him travel.

In the last period of his previous life, on the day when Pei Muyao suddenly left Beijing for Shaozhou, his mind was as calm as Pei Yichen had trouble sleeping for a few days, and now that he thinks about it, he should be afraid that he will bring Li Jin back to Beijing.

It is said that what you are afraid of will come, and the reason why Pei Yichen forced the palace in his previous life was also because Li Jin was brought back to Beijing and imprisoned in Dali Temple, and Jingning Wangfu was grounded.

I don't know if I can catch Li Jin in advance if I go to Shaozhou in this life.

Song Xu was stunned, "Have you found out where Li Jin is in Shaozhou?" ”

Pei Muyao shook his head, "He's in Shanzhou." ”

Song Xuqing's eyebrows twisted slightly, he looked at him at a loss, and his voice was slightly lowered: "I thought you came to Shanzhou this time to investigate the smuggling of official salt." ”

When Pei Muyao heard this, his eyebrows rose for a moment.

has another understanding of Song Suqing's memories of her past life, and she seems to not just know about her death, but like him, she has spied on everything.

He got up with his arms on the ground, and said unhurriedly: "The matter of smuggling official salt is what my father wants to investigate, and the arrest of Li Jin is my business." ”

Song Suqing's eyes were full of incredulity, and there was a little puzzlement in his heart.

Pei Muyao's palm landed on her wrist, pulled her up with a little effort, and said, "He knows who is behind it, but there is a lack of evidence." ”

Song Xuqing pursed her lips and was silent, her calm heart was like being hit by a boulder falling from the sky, and she slammed the water wave upwards fiercely.

Can she think that if the emperor learns that the person behind the smuggling of official salt through the extensive transportation route of Shanzhou is King Jingning, he will also know that the person who supports King Jingning to act like this is the crown prince Pei Yichen?

But this is simply too sensational.

It is even more terrifying than the future monarch allowing his imperial uncle to act recklessly and harm the country.

But if this is the case, why does the emperor still favor Pei Yichen so much, is it just because he is the future monarch and is to let him harm the country?

In her previous life, Song Suqing lived in the palace for a long time, and all she could contact was the news inside the East Palace, and she didn't know about it outside, but now that she thinks about it, she also feels strange.

No matter what Song Suqing thinks, he can't figure out the deep meaning of this.

She pursed her dry lips, and stared at Pei Muyao who was riding a horse and following the car through the gap in the window, and suddenly, before leaving the palace in her previous life, Pei Huilan's words of coming out to send her off sounded in Song Suqing's heart.

Song Xu's clear and round deer eyes turned around, exploring the meaning of Pei Huilan's words.

"Imperial sister-in-law, I know that the medicine is not what you meant, but I was really in so much pain during that time that I didn't dare to make friends with you anymore."

I know that the medicine is not what you meant......

Song Xuqing's eyes widened, and he was faintly stunned in his heart.

When she thought back to this passage before today, her focus was on the last sentence, ignoring the meaning of the original sentence.

If Pei Huilan knew that the medicine was not what she meant, wouldn't it have always been clear that the person who gave her the medicine was Pei Yichen!?

Song Xuqing's palms tightly grasped the edge of the window, and his white fingertips were gradually dyed a transparent crimson due to his strength.

Her eyes were slightly dark, and she exhaled deeply.

One thing after another suddenly broke into her thoughts.

Don't mention anything else, just after Pei Yichen failed to force the palace, accusing him of mutilating his compatriots and hurting the country's capital was like snow falling in winter, and the emperor seemed to have known about it a long time ago, and he had already been put in prison without even asking, and he was never summoned until the exile document was issued three days later.

He didn't even send people to the East Palace to copy the palace, but just dismissed all the palace people and moved her and the concubines out of the East Palace.

If Pei Yichen was a dead end from the beginning, then no matter how he tried to break through, no matter where he went, it would be a wall, but it was just who set it up in this game.

Is it Pei Muyao, or the emperor?

When did the bureau start to be set up, after the official salt smuggling incident was investigated, or was it already in existence before that......

Song Suqing had no way of knowing, her hand holding the window was tight, and she turned her eyes sideways but did not see Pei Muyao, who was walking outside the public opinion.

She peeked out of the window and looked around, front and back, left and right, before spotting him ten feet from the carriage.

He rode his horse casually, but followed him to pray for peace, his expression full of seriousness.

Qi An held the reins to prevent the horses from rushing forward, and whispered: "Lord Wang, there should be three people behind us now, and my subordinates have observed for about an hour, and they are sure that they don't know each other, and they are deliberately avoiding the eyes and ears of others, and they haven't bumped into each other yet." ”

Hearing this, Pei Muyao glanced at him lukewarmly, and said 'um' to indicate that he understood.

Qi An was a little unsure of what he meant, and asked, "Do you want to send someone to block them?" ”

"No, you don't." The corners of Pei Muyao's lips were slightly raised, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, "They want to follow." ”

When Qi An saw his expression, he knew that this meant letting them follow.

The further south you go, the road is not smooth, and when it rains, you will meet one day in the muddy paths of the woods, and that is the day of cannibalism.

However, Pei Muyao's hand holding the reins tightened, and the bottomless pupil fell back to the carriage in front of him, and after a while, he said: "Find out which way is the people from the Hou Mansion, lead them to follow our people, don't run into those two roads." ”

Qi An's eyes shrank when he heard this, he didn't expect that Xuanwu Hou would send someone to follow them out of Beijing, and he was even more surprised why the prince would know about it.

Pei Muyao's hand that fell on the reins pulled up, and said with a smile: "As for the people of the father and the emperor, just let them go." ”

As he spoke, he clamped the horse's belly and followed the carriage in front of him.

Qi An answered the sound behind him, tightened the reins, turned around and walked back.

The author has something to say:

Stuck in the chapter today, the follow-up is to enter Shanzhou, and write together tomorrow.

I was too busy a few days ago to give you a double update, so I'll try to give you a little more updates this weekend.

But it can't be guaranteed to be 10,000 words or something, try to ensure that it is more than 7k.

In the past two days, I also need to spare some time to go to the hospital for follow-up visits to get Chinese medicine for conditioning (staying up late in June, relying on coffee to continue my life, resulting in crazy acne, and I am seeing a dermatology)

Chapter 66: Innocence

(I don't think so)

Thousands of thoughts turned into sobering awakening dew at night, Song Suqing, who had been running all day, closed his eyes and faced the wall, unlike his slightly tired body, his mind was unusually clear and bright.

She lay in her bed for a long time, but she never fell asleep.

There was a sound of rustling outside, Song Suqing turned over, her eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water, she looked sideways at the night outside the window, her mind was heavy.

The flawless moon hung inside, the shadows of the treetops were swayed by the breeze, and the black shadows passed by from time to time.

Song Xuqing's hand drooped on the long pillow in the center, and his little finger unconsciously poked the back of his hand, and his wandering thoughts gradually returned.

She lowered her eyes and glanced at the place, slowly moving up along the man's slender and powerful arm, staring at Pei Muyao, who was expressionless, the moonlight as clean as jade did not cover his face, making him more and more indifferent and ruthless.

The moonlight outside the window moved unhurriedly downward, and the bright bedroom was dyed with endless black, and there were deliberately low but still unusually clear footsteps outside in the quiet night, and there were some conversations that she couldn't hear clearly, but she could clearly hear the voice of the prayer.

Song Suqing turned around slowly and closed his eyes according to the original position.

I tossed and turned for nearly four hours and couldn't sleep, and now my eyes were closed, but I fell asleep in an instant.

The clear sound of birds chirping in his ears, and when the dazzling sun slid over his eyes, Song Xu opened his eyes, looked at his place with sleepy eyes, and sat up with the cushion in the car.

The silk jacket covering her body then slid down, and she twisted the silk jacket with her fingertips, and the small car swayed slightly compared to the sleeping pavilion, and slowly stopped.

When did she get into the carriage, and why was she not aware of it at all?

Song Suqing moved her right arm, bursts of numbness swung from her fingertips to the tip of her heart, she hissed, and was about to call Mingyue, when the curtain in front of her was suddenly lifted, and the words that were about to overflow were collected back, and she looked at Pei Muyao who leaned into the public opinion fixedly.

Pei Muyao's action paused for a moment, and he hooked his lips, "Did I wake you up?" ”

"No," Song Suqing sat up slightly straight, her voice a little lazy, "When did we set off, why I don't have any impression at all." ”

"It's already outside the city of Shanzhou." Pei Muyao didn't answer positively, rubbing his fingertips with the flower porcelain moire bowl that entered with him, and said, "Stop here and rest for a while, and then you can enter the city when the sun goes down a little." ”

Song Xu cleared his chin, his drooping eyelids lifted slightly, and said, "Then I'm going to wash up." ”

The figure moved slightly and got up accurately, but her wrist was grabbed, she looked puzzled and turned around, only to see Pei Muyao's palm raised her beard, and a light flashed in her eyes that seemed to be smiling, and she didn't know if it was a trace left by the scorching sun.

Pei Muyao skimmed his eyes calmly, landed on the clear water, and said casually: "I'll come." ”

Song Suqing looked stunned: "......? ”
