In the second princess mansion, the shadow cast by the thick eaves covered Wu Yuanning's face, and those kneeling on the stone floor could not see her expression clearly.

Since the twelfth lunar month, the sky has finally cleared up, but the snow has melted, but it has brought an even more shivering cold.

"My hall said that killing Yuelin first, the eldest princess, is just a matter of chance. But what about you?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me, it was really the situation at that time..."

"Come on, drag it out."

As the second princess spoke, someone came up immediately and dragged down the man who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

The second princess looked on coldly, then flicked her sleeves and entered the room.

"Send someone to kill Yuelin."

"Yes."

……

"What did you say? You found Lord Hou?" Meng Xiao wept with joy, and hurried to the main courtyard to tell Wu Yuanya the good news.

This is already the fifth day after it disappeared almost suddenly. The 21st of the twelfth lunar month, the day after tomorrow is the new year of Wuchao.

Dawu also has a festival called Xiaonian.Wu Yuanya still remembered that as if it was just yesterday, the husband was still smiling and said that Xiaonian was going to make malt candy.

Wu Yuanya answered the message, the palace will also make maltose and distribute it to each mansion, so you don't need to work so hard.

But the husband waved his hand and said that it was made in the palace, how could the little crow eat it.He wants to make it with his own hands, use the best fragrant rice, wrap it in honey, and make it, so that his little crow can also taste the sweetness of malt sugar.

Wu Yuanya's whole body relaxed for a while.Finally, I got news from my husband, so what if I can't make it back in time for the new year?As long as people are still there, there will be countless small years in the future.The hand on the brocade quilt gripped the quilt twitchingly, and Wu Yuanya suddenly opened his eyes.

Such an accident will never happen again.

Meng Xiao was startled by Wu Yuanya's eyes for a moment, and quickly comforted him softly, "The news came from Cangnan County. If the road goes well, Master Hou will definitely be able to come back on Nian Gen'er. It's just..."

Wu Yuanya's eyes sank, "Just what?"

Meng Xiaodao, "It's just, it's just that His Highness probably doesn't know that the Eldest Princess was assassinated and passed away."

"What?" Wu Yuanya frowned, clutching his chest and coughing forcefully.

Meng Xiao slapped his head, "It's all my servant's fault. This news is only spread below, and has not yet been presented to His Majesty. But, Your Highness, it's time for you to take the medicine, and this servant will send someone to see the imperial doctor's medicine." Done yet."

The emperor was ill. At the critical moment, the news that the eldest princess had passed away, and those who knew the truth all suppressed the news by coincidence.

Cheng Shou, the imperial doctor, personally carried the medicine box containing the medicine bowl, bowed step by step, and walked slowly on the corridor.

He lowered his head in thought, and almost collided with the little eunuch on the corner without noticing.

Doctor Cheng urgently protected the medicine box and moved aside.The little eunuch grabbed him and said, "Physician Cheng, is the medicine ready? The manager asked the servant to urge His Highness to take the medicine."

Doctor Cheng nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know, I'll send it here, I'll send it here."

"Let's go quickly then."

"……Hey."

Cheng Yuyi seemed to be bent over by some heavy burden.The medicine box was carried by the little eunuch, with his hands in his sleeves, and he bowed lower and lower as he walked.

There are countless imperial physicians in Shangyi Palace, and among them, there are only five top-ranking third-rank physicians.As one of these five people, Cheng Shou's medical skills are naturally not a problem.

However, such a strange pulse as that of King Jing, no, it should be strange, he has never seen it in the 40 years of medical practice.

Despite the heaviness, he still walked to the main courtyard.Cheng Shou watched helplessly as Meng Xiao put a spoonful of honey into the medicine bowl, mixed it, tested it with a silver needle, tasted another spoonful, and handed it to Wu Yuanya after a while. .

Then Wu Yuanya drank it all in one gulp without even frowning.

This is the first time since he came to King Jing's mansion for five days, he saw King Jing drink medicine so happily, but in this pleasure, his heart was even more tugged.

Only he himself knows that there is actually nothing in this prescription, it is all Zhongzheng mild tonic.He didn't cure King Jing's cough.He didn't understand King Jing's pulse, and he didn't dare to mention it to his colleagues who didn't like each other.If they found out, I don't know how to pull myself down.Below him, there were more than 20 people staring at his position.

Wu Yuanya drank the medicine, but still felt it was not enough.Seeing that it was sunny outside, I got out of bed to exercise.

Meng Xiao hurriedly stopped him. "Your Highness, it's cold outside. Your cough hasn't healed yet. You should rest indoors. There will be plenty of opportunities for this exercise in the future. You have to take care of yourself."

"Yeah, I have to take care of my health. It's just so cold, I don't know how the husband is doing? Let Qiu Yong take someone to meet the husband."

"Your Highness, Master Qiu is not here, Master Qiu has to guard you, why not send someone else, such as the two Master Pei?"

"No, I'm worried about Pei Chengqing and Pei Chengdi's work, so let Qiu Yong go."

Meng Xiao had no choice but to go to Qiu Yong.

The one who was missed by Wu Yuanya was really having a bad time.

Or rather, he was cold.The coffin of the eldest princess was contained in the carriage behind her, and large chunks of ice were placed around the coffin.For the sake of the eldest princess, he can't use any heating tools.

Now he is sitting outside the carriage and driving the carriage.On the left is Yuelin huddled into a ball, and Bao'er, who is tired from crying and sleeping, is stuffed in the padded jacket.

In the past five days, he has used eight thousand spirit stones instead of ten thousand.But no matter how reluctant he was, he couldn't trust anyone with the wave of assassinations coming.

The carriage drove until noon, and he almost parked the carriage on the side of the road, took out the bucket from the storage bag, filled it with horse hay and food, and fed it to the horses.

He took out some dry food and water and handed it to Yuelin.

"Hurry up and eat, we have to go on our way after eating." Simply untied his cotton coat, patted Bao'er, and fed a spoonful of the still warm rice soup that had been boiled early in the morning.

Bao'er tasted the soup, rubbed her eyes and woke up, "Mother."

"Eat quickly, and go find your mother when you're done."

Bao'er pursed her mouth, tears fell drop by drop, but she still obediently fed and ate a spoonful.

Just after eating, another wave of assassins arrived.

He didn't want to keep his hand any longer, as soon as he struck out, dozens of spirit stones were shattered in an instant.These assassins fell down without even firing their arrows.

Yue Lin didn't notice the arrival of the assassin at all. After eating, she shrank back into the carriage, looked as if she had put away her things, got into the carriage, and continued on her way.

"When can we arrive in the capital?" Yue Lin's eyes were blank.

"I don't know, it is estimated that there will be another five cities." Looking at the exhausted appearance of the horse, he shook his head, "In the next place, we have to change the horse again."

Yue Lin trembled, remembering the first time she bought a carriage, because she and Bao'er were almost killed by assassins because they simply left.If it wasn't for the desperate resistance of Yuzhou Yamen servants, she would have died.

Nine out of ten Yuzhou yamen servants died because of this, but they still couldn't stop the assassins.If it wasn't for the timely arrival of the person next to him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In the evening, the carriage arrived at Min County.As soon as he entered the county seat, he drove the carriage directly to the county government office, reported his name and the eldest princess, and the county magistrate cautiously invited him in.

The eldest princess's body was placed in the middle of the main room in the backyard of the yamen, and she asked the county magistrate for a bedding, and she laid it next to the coffin for Yue Lin and Bao'er to sleep.

He leaned against the pillar, closed his eyes for less than a quarter of an hour, then opened them and stood there.

Now, as long as he entered the space, he would be able to sense the little crow's jade token, and he could go back and meet people.It's just that after he entered the space, he would sense three jade cards, and he couldn't tell which one it was.Secondly, only in the space can they be teleported to the vicinity of the jade tablet, while Bao'er, Yue Lin, and even the corpse of the eldest princess cannot enter the space.

He looked back at the simple coffin where the eldest princess was lying, and sighed.

Before dawn the next day, the county magistrate found a new good horse and carriage, put the coffin into the carriage, and took people away.After walking like this for three days without sleep, I finally saw Qiu Yong running towards me on the official road.

Seeing Qiu Yong, his eyes lit up, "Your Highness is here too?"

Qiu Yong looked at the pouches under his eyes in disbelief, "Master Jian, how many days have you been here? Your Highness hasn't come."

He frowned immediately, "Your Highness didn't come, why didn't you guard him?"

"But... Your Highness must let the little one come to welcome you."

"What's there to welcome?" His heart was beating wildly, he stuffed Bao'er into Qiu Yong's arms, and pushed Yue Lin to Qiu Yong's side, "These two people, and the eldest princess's The body will be handed over to you. People have been assassinated along the road, be careful, I'm going back to the capital first."

"Hey, Master Jian?" What do you mean you have returned to the capital first?

Before Qiu Yong could finish his words, he almost disappeared into the air suddenly.He immediately remembered Meng Xiao's description, and sighed in his heart, did Master Jian learn a new spell?It's amazing.

He simply returned to the space, sensed the positions of the three jade tokens, and decided to choose one.

Jian Zhuo had just left Xuguan, and he was staggering on his horse. He blinked and saw a person suddenly appearing in the air, stretched his neck and waved, "Brother, brother, is that you?"

He simply snorted angrily, pinched his hands and decided to enter the space, and then chose other jade cards.

The other people in the motorcade looked back at Jian Zhuo as if they were insane.Only Zhao Dahai dared to say, "Brother, are you phantom hysteria?"

Jian Zhuo rubbed his eyes, unable to believe it, "Huh? Did I see it clearly just now?"

Simply re-enter the space, choose other jade tokens, and exit the space.

Finally got it right this time.Facing the oncoming arrows and crossbows, he took his time and pinched his hands to reflect the arrows and crossbows back.Seeing the arrow and crossbow piercing the assassin's heart veins, and blood splashing, he did not frown, but changed his hand and dodged to Wu Yuanya's side.

Wu Yuanya didn't care about the arrows coming from all around at this time, he hugged the lost and recovered person so tightly that he almost couldn't catch his breath.

"Little crow, wait a moment, wait until I clean up these people."

"No!"

"Little crow, you have to relax a little bit. Your husband is almost out of breath."

"No!"

Again categorically.

He couldn't laugh or cry, he raised his hands high to execute the execution, and cleared out the assassins one by one.

Seeing familiar faces like Meng Xiao and Pei Chengqing and Pei Chengdi approaching, she felt relieved, closed her eyes, and fell back.

Wu Yuanya hugged the person, looked up and noticed the almost black face.He caressed Zhen's face distressedly, "Mr., you have worked hard, and you can't run around anymore."
