Chapter 40: The Past
Sensing her gaze, Yu Zheng was puzzled: "How could Madame go out of Beijing alone?"
There were only a few guards with him, which was really dangerous.
At the mention of this, Jiang Shuxing's eyes contracted, and his complexion condensed: "I went out of Beijing with Hou Ye to do business, he was in a hurry, and he rode back to Beijing early this morning." ”
Yu Zheng glanced at her: "What is more important than the safety of his wife?"
Jiang Shu was silent, and Yu Zheng guessed: "But there was a quarrel?"
Speaking of Shen Changze, Jiang Shu's expression was aggrieved and resentful, it was right to look after the quarrel.
"The prince can read minds?" Jiang Shu opened the topic angrily, not wanting to talk about the private affairs of the husband and wife.
Yu Zheng didn't ask anymore, and took the wiped soft sword back to his waist.
"Thanks to the prince today, otherwise I'm afraid I would have fallen into a pulp." Thinking of the danger of Fang Cai, Jiang Shu felt palpitations.
If it weren't for Yu Zheng passing by, she didn't dare to think about what would happen to her.
Since ancient times, women have been revered, and she was forced off the cliff by a group of mountain bandits, afraid that she would be full of stigma if she died.
Yu Zheng is for her, which can be regarded as the grace of recreation.
"Mrs. Xu is Su Ri has accumulated virtue and is dynamic to the heavens, and she has sent me to rescue me at this moment in the day." Yu Zheng looked serious, and his ink eyes looked at the sky reverently.
Jiang Shu was bewitched by him, and also looked up at Qingtian.
Half gloomy gray, half bright blue, half cloudy and half sunny, clouds and sunlight alternate, like light and dark, good and evil fighting.
Jiang Shu was touched and said in surprise: "Did the prince really happen to pass by?"
Not a moment earlier, not a moment later, just passing by.
Yu Zheng sighed lightly: "Yes, it just so happened." ”
Two days ago, there was a matter that needed to leave Beijing to be handled, and he was originally sent to Chaiyun to do it. But for some reason, before chasing the clouds and leaving, he suddenly wanted to go in person.
He was scheduled to return to Beijing tomorrow, but last night he had constant nightmares, causing him to be upset, and he woke up before dawn, eager to return to Beijing.
Yu Zheng didn't believe in fate or gods and Buddhas in the past, but now, he believes in it.
All kinds of abnormalities are the guidance in the dark.
After the body was found on the mountain road, one of the guards was still out of breath and revealed his identity.
Jing'an Hou Mansion, Mrs. ......
Hearing these words, Yu Zheng's heart tightened, and he got out of the carriage and rode his horse at a gallop.
When following the traces into the mountains and forests, Yu Zheng's heart rose to his throat.
The moment he heard Tan Yu's plea for help, he was tense like a full string, for fear that he would be a step too late.
"The prince's great kindness cannot be repaid, and after I return home, I will set up an immortal tablet for the prince, and worship it every day." Jiang Shu looked sincere.
A bright light flashed in Yu Zheng's ink eyes, and he said with an unclear meaning: "Madame enshrines the immortal tablet for a foreign man, and I am afraid that Mrs. Yu's reputation will be hindered if it is passed out." ”
Jiang Shu sneered: "If it weren't for the prince, my life and reputation would be gone." When life and death come together, some things are not so important. ”
"Don't worry, I will be careful to make offerings, so that people don't see the rumors and ruin the reputation of the prince."
Yu Zheng smiled dumbly and persuaded her not to do so.
Jiang Shu was very stubborn and insisted on repaying his kindness.
Yu Zheng was helpless and told her about the past.
When he was young, he went out of the palace to play, but was chased by the Assassins and separated from the guards.
At that time, he was wounded, fled to the outskirts of Beijing in a panic, got lost, and fainted in the forest tired and hungry.
He thought he was dead, but he was rescued by a little girl, who not only gave him food, but also gave him medicine to heal his wounds.
Out of vigilance, he scared the little girl that she would not tell anyone about his whereabouts, or he would kill her.
The little girl kept her promise and gave him three days of water, food and medicine alone, without telling anyone.
He was twelve years old, and the little girl was nine.
On the third night, he was found by the guards and returned to the palace.
After the injury was healed, he ordered someone to find out the identity of the little girl and protect it in secret, but he never saw him again.
Jiang Shu was shocked when he heard this, stared at Yu Zheng in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... You are Brother Ah Zheng. ”
Yu Zheng bowed his head and said with a smile: "If you want to set up an immortal tablet, should I set up one for you first?"
He didn't tell Jiang Shu his identity back then, only that his sister called him Ah Zheng.
When he was young, Jiang Shu was kind and brave, and he was not afraid when he saw that he was covered in blood, and carefully cleaned his wounds and bandaged them.
Although his injuries were not fatal at that time, if he hadn't met Jiang Shu, he was afraid that he would have starved to death.
The death of a dignified son from starvation is ridiculous just thinking about it. Fortunately, he met a kind little girl who saved his life and saved his reputation.
"Lord Wang, don't torture me." Jiang Shu lowered his head embarrassedly, and finally dispelled the idea of establishing an immortal tablet.
She is the daughter of a merchant, and asked the prince to offer her the immortal card, I am afraid that it is not a blessing, but a torment.
That year, she saved Yu Zheng, but it was just a gesture.
She remembered that it was a spring day, and she went to live in a courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing with her mother, and picked up Yu Zheng when she was playing and picking flowers near the courtyard alone.
Yu Zheng was covered in blood, her hair was messy, and her clothes were torn and she fell in the grass, which startled her.
She thought he was dead, but after checking it, she found that Yu Zheng was only slightly injured, and the blood on his clothes was not his.
She often picks up some injured kittens and birds on weekdays, feeds them and heals them.
She thought that people should be similar, so she took care of Yu Zheng in the same way as taking care of cats.
But when she went back on the morning of the fourth day, the woods were empty, as if Yu Zheng had never appeared, and everything was just a dream for her.
Later, she forgot about it.
Now that the old things are brought up again, Jiang Shu only feels that his fate is magical. What she saved casually back then turned out to be the prince.
But you must not let Yu Zheng know that the medicine she used to treat his injuries back then was the one she used to treat cats on weekdays.
"You saved me in the past, and I saved you in the present, it is all providence." Yu Zheng had a warm smile in his eyes.
Jiang Shu looked back softly, and the two looked at each other and smiled, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
"Can you rest?" Yu Zheng asked.
Jiang Shu nodded and stood up with the stone.
After experiencing the panic of life and death, he faded away in the conversation with Yu Zheng and regained his calm.
It's just that Jiang Shu's knee was injured, and she limped when she walked, and she inhaled in pain.
Yu Zheng curled his fingers and whistled, and the horses grazing not far away neighed, and 'clicked' and ran over.
"I'll help you get on the horse." Yu Zheng led the horse with one hand and held Jiang Shu's arm with the other.
However, Jiang Shu's leg pain was almost completely unable to exert his strength, and he couldn't climb the horse after several attempts. Yu Zheng hesitated for a moment, then hugged her waist and hugged her onto the horse.
"Sit tight." Yu Zheng turned over his horse neatly, shook the reins and ran away.
Jiang Shu grabbed the saddle in fear, and his heart 'fluttered' as if he was about to jump out of his chest.
Tanyu's foot was sprained and she couldn't walk. Chasing Yun carried her out of the dense forest and returned to the mountain road, and bandaged her with medicinal oil.
"Is my wife really okay?" Tan Yu frequently looked up at the intersection, expecting Jiang Shu's figure to appear.
"Well, she's fine." Chasing clouds answered patiently while bandaging.
But he didn't see Jiang Shu safe and sound, Tan Yu was still not at ease, and asked anxiously over and over again.
Chasing Yun didn't blame her, and patiently answered over and over again.
As a fellow subordinate, he understood her feelings.
