Chapter 198: You're Back

What to do?

Zhu Wanqing also ran out of ideas.

"Are you here on the emperor's orders this time?"

"Barely count." Wang Shouren said, "It was the prince who asked me to come, don't worry, he doesn't know the relationship between Mr. and the Yongqing Marquis Mansion." ”

Zhu Wanqing nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "...... Do you have a plan? ”

"Nope!" Wang Shouren was decisive and straightforward, "No one knows how big overseas is, with Mr.'s perverted speed, I'm afraid it's not unusual to be thousands of miles away at this time, except to look forward to a miracle." ”

"It's not thousands of miles away, he is going to spread Han culture this time, not for fun, so he won't deliberately rush ......" Zhu Wanqing shook her head with a wry smile, she couldn't go on.

The problem at hand is that the time is only half a year.

Such a short time is not enough to find Uncle Li, how to rescue the emperor?

"The news that the emperor is critically ill hasn't spread yet, right?"

"Not for the time being, but such a big matter can't be hidden for long, and the courtiers basically know about it and spread it to the local ...... Three months at most is about the same. Wang Shouren sighed, "The prince is still young and immature enough, and the ministers also have a lot of criticism about him, which is really like the sky falling apart...... Even now the Jingshi is already an undercurrent. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Wanqing also became nervous.

She pondered and meditated, but found that, as Wang Shouren said, now this situation can only pray for miracles.

It's just that...... Will there really be a miracle?

Zhu Wanqing felt bitter in her heart.

She had just unloaded her burden and was about to go to her husband to be loyal to the country while enjoying her old age with Brother Hong, but unexpectedly, such a thing happened......

"Huh~ What are your plans?" Zhu Wanqing asked.

For Wang Shouren, Zhu Wanqing has never underestimated him, and the person who guessed Uncle Li's identity by himself and was given high hopes by Uncle Li is not a general?

Wang Shouren was very frank and said, "I don't plan to go back until Mr. comes back." ”

"Avoiding trouble?"

"Yes, I am the prince's companion, and I have a personal relationship with the Son of Heaven, if I am in Beijing at this time, ......" Wang Shouren smiled bitterly, "Mrs. Li is a smart person, you should understand my difficulties." ”

Zhu Wanqing nodded and said, "Just stay, but ...... You can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth, if the sky really changes, you still have to go back. ”

"It's nature." Wang Shouren said, "I'm not only here to avoid trouble, but also to avoid suspicion, at least, so that the prince can feel that I am innocent, and in the future, I also have a certain right to speak." ”

Zhu Wanqing doesn't know much about her nephew and grandson, it has been eight years since she last went to Beijing, and for a small child, it is enough to grow into two people, hearing Wang Shouren say this, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and said:

"So, the prince is very intelligent and has a certain understanding of politics?"

"That's right." Wang Shouren sighed, "The prince has outstanding features, but also shortcomings, alas...... In the end, he is only a fifteen-year-old boy, and he is at the age of vigor, how can he fight the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty? ”

After a pause, he said: "At present, the safest way is for Mr. to come back in time and let the transfer of power land smoothly, otherwise, there will really be chaos." ”

Zhu Wanqing was gloomy: "Whether I can come back or not, only God knows, I'm afraid of ......"

She said bitterly: "Don't look at him too much, in fact, his medical skills have not reached the level of enlightenment, if the emperor really reaches the time when the oil runs out, even if he rushes to the capital in time...... I'm afraid that it may not be able to turn the tide. ”

Wang Shouren was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven." ”

Zhu Wanqing stopped talking.

After a while, she got up and said, "Bo'an, you can stay here, until there is no news from Jingshi, it is best not to go out, as for the people in the house...... I will arrange that your true identity will not be revealed. ”

"In this way, there is Mrs. Law." Wang Shouren got up and said tentatively, "Madame, but you want to go out and tell Mr. Li about this?" ”

"Hmm." Zhu Wanqing said calmly, "The source of taxes in the imperial court is gradually biased towards maritime merchants, and now that the border town of Daming is stable, the energy of the chief military officer of the naval division is even more important. ”

Wang Shouren thought for a while and said: "I don't think so, if I don't expect it bad, the emperor will definitely summon Mr. Li into Beijing, if the emperor doesn't summon him, it means that he is not needed, Mrs. is still waiting to see what happens, the most important thing at the moment is stability, this pass Mr. Li enters Beijing...... I am afraid that it will further exacerbate the already unstable situation. ”

Zhu Wanqing was stunned, sat back on the chair, and sighed bitterly:

"Is it really just watching and doing nothing?"

Wang Shouren was also bitter: "The current situation is ...... It's better to be still than to be still, that's the only way to do it. ”

The weather in May was unusually hot, the cabin was like a big steamer, and there was no condition to store ice, Tang Bohu was so hot that it smoked.

He can let it go, his upper body is always naked, if it weren't for Li Xue'er, he would even want to be fruitful, it's too hot......

Li Qing was like someone who had nothing to do, he was still wearing the same clothes and pants, and he was still in the mood to blow the sea breeze on the deck, which made Tang Bohu envious.

I asked him how he did it, but he only got one sentence: "The heart is calm and naturally cool." ”

Li Xue'er is also unwell, she can't compare with Li Qing, but in the end, she has cultivated her true qi, and her resistance to cold and heat is quite strong.

"Grandpa Li, will you return immediately when you arrive in Jinling?"

"You don't have to rush like that." Li Qing stretched his waist and chuckled, "At least I have to go to the Qinglou to listen to music for a few days, right?" Combining work and rest, you should be busy, and you should enjoy life. ”

"Oh." Li Xue'er nodded, turned her head and moved a chair to sit next to him, and said, "When I go back, I want to ...... Do something, it may cost some money. ”

"Flowers are flowers, and our family is not short of money." Li Qing didn't care about this, "As long as your mother and your eldest brother have no opinion, whatever you want, I don't care about the affairs of the house for a long time, you don't need to report to me, let alone discuss." ”

"You don't want to know what I'm going to do?"

"I don't want to!"

"Not curious at all?"

"Not curious!"

"......" Li Xueer was helpless, and the topic couldn't continue.

At the end, he said: "When I do it, I will definitely surprise you." ”

"Oh? Is it? Li Qing sneered, "Then I'm looking forward to it, I wish you success." ”

"Then we'll see!!" Li Xue'er stomped her feet and turned around to go to the cabin.

After a while, Tang Bohu came over and said, "It's really going to kill you this day!" ”

"I said, can you pay attention to your image?" Li Qing turned his head and glared at him, and said, "I'm also a star figure, put on my clothes and show my chest...... Are you a red man? ”

"It's too hot!" Tang Bohu reluctantly tied his robe, and said with a bitter face, "I'm almost steamed, anyway, isn't it hot if you're black?" ”

Li Qing still said: "The heart is calm and naturally cool." ”

Tang Bohu was depressed, and had the heart to say that Li Qing was bragging, but when he saw that people didn't even have beads of sweat, he could only stop stupidly.

"You must have a trick, teach me."

"If I'm not stingy, you can't learn." Li Qing shook his head, "Everyone has a different physique, you can't learn my skills, so let's focus on poetry and painting." ”

Tang Bohu smacked his lips and sighed, "Alas...... When will we get to Jinling? ”

Li Qing estimated and said, "If it's fast, it's the end of June, and if it's slow, it's mid-July." ”

Then, he said: "Don't worry, I won't kill you if I'm hot." ”

"It's uncomfortable! If you think about it, I'm getting prickly heat. ”

Li Qing was troubled by the noise, got up and said, "Follow me." ”

Is there a way...... Tang Bohu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly followed him and came to the end of the deck, "What way?" ”

Li Qing grinned and said, "Take this." ”

“?” Tang Bohu took the rope, "What do you mean?" ”

"Take a bath." As he spoke, Li Qing pressed one hand on his shoulder, and then mentioned......

Tang Bohu spun around for a while......

"Poof!"

Plunging into the sea, he 'g......runted' for a while, and then he surfaced and exclaimed, "Don't be kidding, don't be kidding......"

"Don't worry, I'll watch it." Li Qing smiled, "You just say it's cool, right?" ”

It's not just cool, it's like falling into an ice cave, if you don't get it right, he'll be buried in the sea, and there will be no bones!

"Pull me up, ...... quickly" Tang Bohu was about to curse.

"Hold on to the rope, relax, it'll be fine." Li Qing chuckled, "This is the only way to cool down." ”

"I'm not going to get out of the heat, pull me up!!"

“…… Tie the rope around your waist. ”

After a while, Tang Bohu was pulled onto the deck, still shocked, "I'm scared to death." ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "It's a bit of a success, isn't it?" ”

"You're light, what if I don't catch the rope?"

"Aren't I just watching from the sidelines, how about it, isn't it cool?"

Tang Bohu glared at him and said stupidly, "It's cool, but I'd rather not experience this coolness." ”

Next.

"Sir, you can look at it, watch it closely."

"Sir, I'm going to cool off, pull me up later."

~

At the beginning of July, the merchant ship arrived at Liujiagang, and a few days later, docked at Longjiangguan, and on July 12, the three returned to the Yongqing Marquis' Mansion.

"Mother, mother, I'm back!"

As soon as she entered the door, Li Xue'er was babbling, like a child, without the dignified and steady of a woman.

'Squeak~' The attic window opened, Wang Shouren came out and said, "It's Miss Li, Mrs. Li is out of the house." ”

"Who are you?" Li Xue'er stopped and looked up at him, "Oh, I remembered, you are the king, the king ......"

"Under Wang Shouren." Wang Shouren replied, suddenly, he saw Li Qing behind him, and he was suddenly surprised and happy, rubbed his eyes violently, and looked at it again, still.

Li Qing also saw Wang Shouren and asked in surprise: "Xiaoyun, why are you in the Yongqing Marquis Mansion?" ”

"Oh, you're back!" Wang Shouren was so excited that he almost jumped down directly, he hurriedly said, "Sir, wait for me, I have something important to tell you." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and rushed down.

He quickly went downstairs and ran to Li Qing, not even bothering to say hello to Li Xue'er and Tang Bohu, and grabbed Li Qing, "Let's go, take a step to talk." ”
