Chapter 76

Li Yanyi did not live in the Forbidden Garden, but had his own mansion in the most prosperous place in the southeast of Runing.Zhen Wenjun supported Li Yanyi and walked slowly into the Huaichen Mansion. After the Huben army entered together, the house slave looked out vigilantly and closed the door.

In the Huaichen mansion, there are red curtains and red couplets inscribed on the painted buildings. Even in the middle of the night, as soon as Li Yanyi entered the mansion, all the servants stood on both sides holding gauze lanterns to welcome the eldest princess back to the mansion.

As soon as the door was closed, Li Yanyi raised her hand to signal that she could go by herself, and Zhen Wenjun let her go.

"Tsk." Li Yanyi slightly stretched her muscles and bones. The injury on her waist and abdomen made her worry. She turned to Zhen Wenjun and asked, "Sister Wenjun, in your opinion, how long will it take for my wound to heal before it prevents me from doing things."

"Returning to Your Highness, as long as His Highness changes the dressing on time, takes good care of her and rests in bed, she will be able to move freely within seven days."

"Seven days? It takes seven days? My teacher is imprisoned and you want me to rest for seven days?"

Zhen Wenjun was stunned by her aggressive rhetorical question, and he habitually showed his aggrieved look by using the way he used to deal with Wei Tingxu.Li Yan noticed that she looked pitiful and realized that this was a question he asked. Turning around and blaming Zhen Wenjun for being wrong, he shook his head and said, "Seven days will be seven days."

Zhen Wenjun secretly felt that he had gone too far. The routine of pretending to be miserable and pretending to be obedient had been used too much on Wei Tingxu, and it was too ridiculous to unknowingly use it on Li Yanyi.What made her even more dumbfounded was that the eldest princess was really soft, probably because she also had a lady in her heart.

Li Yanyi said: "Azhu."

A maidservant in a purple shirt bowed her head and said, "My maidservant is here."

"You help sister Wenjun clean up the house, and live next to the main courtyard so that you can take care of me."

"Here. Mrs. Wen Jun, come with me."

Li Yanyi asked Shang Linquan and Xu Huai to go to the front hall to discuss matters together. Halfway through the walk, he thought of something, and turned to Zhen Wenjun and said, "Come find me after you put down your luggage."

"Here!" Zhen Wenjun imitated A Zhu's tone and returned.

Li Yanyi smiled faintly at her, then changed back to a solemn expression, and left impatiently.

"Miss Wenjun, come with this slave."

Zhen Wenjun responded to A Zhu while looking at Li Yanyi's back and wondered, didn't she just vomit blood?The qi and blood attacking the heart and hurting the heart and lungs are extremely painful. If she doesn't cultivate, she may be in danger of her life, let alone she has a penetrating wound, how can she still continue to plan things?Seeing her composure, she doesn't seem to be holding on.

Thinking of Li Yanyi scolding the emperor loudly at the gate of the city just now, Zhen Wenjun smelled something strange.

Li Yanyi is indeed lawless, not only calling Li Juming by name, but also acting as if she is in control of the country, but no matter how arrogant she is, she is like this outside, and now she is doing exactly the same in Ru Ning, right under the eyes of Jin Wuwei?

Li Yanyi clutched her waist and stepped into the front hall, and a group of people went in and closed the door.The bright candlelight was reflected on the window lattice, and several figures knelt and sat on both sides after swaying, their whispers could not be heard clearly, and the dignified atmosphere in the room could be felt from a distance.

Was the yelling at the city gate really confused or did it on purpose?Zhen Wenjun felt that there should be a question about this matter.

A Zhu was nearly fifty years old, she was Li Yanyi's wet nurse, she followed her from the Forbidden Garden to Huaichen Mansion, Li Yanyi was always taken care of by her.Azhu lowered her eyebrows and smiled with a natural kindness and kindness, leading Zhen Wenjun to the hut where she lived.The hut is small, clean and elegant, with candlesticks, aromatherapy and thick quilts. There is a curved vase in the corner of the room, and a column of green bamboo is placed in the vase.

"Let's put the young lady's luggage here, and leave it to the old servant to pack it up. Hurry up and find His Highness in the front hall, so don't delay the business."

I thought there would be a lot of rules in the princess's mansion, but Li Yanyi asked Azhu to bring her here to tell her where she can't go and what she can't do.Unexpectedly, Ah Zhu didn't say anything, just handed her a cup of ginseng tea to soothe her voice, and told her to go to Li Yanyi immediately.

Zhen Wenjun drank the ginseng tea in one breath, thanked Azhu and immediately went to the front hall.

Under the watchful eyes of Huben Army, she pushed open the door of the front hall, and a slight "creak" sound attracted everyone in the huge hall to look over.There are two rows of tables on both sides of the hall, and there are a total of hundreds of people, not only men but also women.Each of them looked serious and looked like eagles, and they all glared at each other when they were discussing something. It happened that Zhen Wenjun came in at this time, and embraced the strong malice that filled the room.

Perhaps this is the fate of the fine work... Zhen Wenjun had a simple and honest smile on his face, trying to break down the tense atmosphere.

Li Yanyi has a lot of staff, I'm afraid these are not all her advisers.Zhen Wenjun sat in front of the small wooden table temporarily added in the corner, looking at the colorful vegetables, fruits, wine and meat on the table, she was already hungry since she hadn't eaten any food since the afternoon.But looking at the wine and meat of the other people around, there was no trace of touching at all. Everyone was making plans and ignoring the food, which made Zhen Wenjun want to eat and feel embarrassed to eat, so he had to concentrate on listening to the conversations of the counselors, trying to distract his attention.

Li Yanyi sat in the middle of the front hall as if he was facing the court, there were different opinions about Zuo Xu, Li Yanyi coughed from time to time listening to their words.

The three counties that have been seized must be brought back again, and everyone's plan is how to impeach the leader of the army, Guo Ru, and punish him for his crimes.According to what they said, this Guo Ru is Xie Fuchen's student and the son of Xie Fuchen's married family.Now the whereabouts of Xie Fuchen's activities in the north has been a mystery, I don't know which move to take, it is very likely that he will unite with the four major Hu tribes to deal with the eldest princess.Guo Ru must be taken down, just like Li Ju did with Zuo Xu, focusing on the details and finding out the crimes that can go to jail from all the trivial things of Guo Ru.

Zhen Wenjun came to the right place. She found that these Confucian scholars who are well-educated and highly talented want to do bad things, which is really eye-opening.Kneeling and sitting here, before kneeling numbness, the people in the room listed 35 crimes for Guo Ru in detail.Killing [-] prisoners of war ten years ago was unkind, taking away the wife of a brother-in-law was unrighteous, not visiting one’s mother on the Shangyuan Festival but indulged with concubine Ji was unfilial, peeing next to the thousand-year-old sacred tree in the royal family’s hometown It's for disloyalty...these dozens of crimes listed one by one are all gossip and anecdotes, but together they are enough to impeach Guo Ru.

Li Ju convicted Zuo Xu of slandering the emperor because he was young and frivolous when he was in Pingcang 20 years ago, and he drank some wine and wrote a crooked poem, which somewhat mocked the late emperor's literary talent.The late emperor also knew about this matter back then, but Zuo Xu was his childhood companion, and the two were close, so they didn't take it to heart at all. Unexpectedly, 20 years later, Li Ju turned over the old account.I am afraid that if Guan Xun puts the crooked poems of the past in front of Zuo Xu, Zuo Xu may not be able to recognize that the poems are from his own hand.It is also "disloyal", Guo Ru's pissing insulted the entire Li family.If even Guo Ru could not be punished, then Zuo Xu's crime of slandering the emperor would be impossible to talk about. Let's see how Li Ju responds.

Li Yanyi asked a Confucian scholar on her left to write the pen, saying that he had the best literary talent, and that he would write the impeachment memorial, which must be written sharply and transparently, making it impossible to refute.The Confucian scholar finished writing in one go, before the other counselors finished speaking, he had already finished writing, and handed it to Li Yanyi for a look, Li Yanyi was very satisfied, and passed it on to everyone for reading.

When it was passed to Zhen Wenjun, she hurriedly put it down and ate half a cantaloupe. After wiping her hands clean, she took the bamboo slips and found many clever sentences that had never been seen before. It's also humorous, and after reading it, it's angry and funny, it's really wonderful.

Li Yanyi didn't let the crowd retreat until the sky was shining brightly. Zhen Wenjun thought she was going to rest, but she didn't have this intention. Instead, she asked Zhen Wenjun to prepare a carriage for her, and she wanted to go to the palace.

Zhen Wenjun guessed that she was going to see the Queen Mother, and casually persuaded her: "Your Highness is seriously injured, if you keep running around, I'm afraid the root cause of the disease will fall."

Li Yanyi shook his head: "There is no way, Li Ju is chasing after me too closely now, and I may lose more lives as soon as I rest. Sister Wenjun, I will leave my injury to you. Help me with it." A few medicines to stop bleeding and relieve pain, as long as it can make me survive this period of time."

Zhen Wenjun had no choice but to agree.

Li Yanyi confessed that the blood must be controlled, she was going to see the queen mother, and she didn't want the old lady to worry.

Sure enough, it was to see the Queen Mother. It seems that she will not be able to come back for a while, just in time for Zhen Wenjun to deliver a letter to Xie's family.

Zhen Wenjun used the medicine from the house to stop her bleeding, and wrapped it with cloth strips layer after layer, so that the blood would not ooze out.After the dressing was finished, Li Yanyi turned around and left. She hadn't closed her eyes for a day and a night, but she still didn't stop.

Zhen Wenjun glanced at Li Yanyi's carriage from a distance, the golden beast hanging on the four corners of the carriage was a peacock, this was the carriage of a second-rank high official, not Li Yanyi's.Combined with all the previous doubts, Zhen Wenjun roughly understood the intention of the eldest princess.It's just that she is still developing, and her brain will become extremely dull once she lacks sleep. Her thoughts are like dense leaves in midsummer. She seems to see a certain branch she wants in the faint light, but it disappears when she stretches out her hand.

Zhen Wenjun couldn't bear it anymore and went to sleep. He woke up at noon the next day and was woken up by the severe pain of leg cramps. When he got up, he kicked his legs and remembered that his mother said that it is a good thing for children to have leg cramps, which means they are growing taller.Zhen Wenjun looked at himself in front of the bronze mirror, wondering if he would be much taller the next time he met Wei Tingxu.

Seeing that Li Yanyi did not return home, Zhen Wenjun hurriedly ate a bowl of soup cake with sliced ​​meat, and then went to report to Azhu, saying that he was going to the market to buy medicines for the eldest princess.

Ah Zhu said: "Is there any medicine in the house, why do you use my wife to make a special trip?"

Zhen Wenjun said: "There are a lot of medicines, but His Highness refuses to rest. I need a strong prescription to stabilize the injury, and I need a Shilian. Shilian is a medicinal material that is usually used by poor people, so the mansion has never prepared it."

Azhu said: "Oh, so that's how it is. Mrs. Wenjun is definitely not familiar with Runing when she just arrived. This old slave should go with you."

How could Zhen Wenjun let her go with her? This Azhu said she was Li Yanyi's nurse, but looking at her eyes and ears reaching the city, who knows if she is like Lingbi, who said she came to take care of her but actually monitored her movements ?If she followed her, the letter would definitely not get out.Just when he was about to refuse, Ah Zhu continued:

"It's a pity that His Highness has just returned to the mansion. There are a lot of things that the old slave has to deal with. I really can't leave. Let the boy in the mansion guide you."

"No, no, no." Zhen Wenjun hurriedly said, "I'm too lazy. Once someone guides me, I don't remember the way. I still get lost after walking two hundred times, so I have to walk alone to get it right. I took a Open your mouth and ask if you get lost, Aunt Azhu, don’t worry. Is there anything Aunt Wen Jun can bring back?”

Ah Zhu said: "No need, my lady should go and come back early."

Zhen Wenjun went out quickly. Not only could she memorize faces and books by heart, but she could also recognize directions quickly.As long as she can remember where she walked, and can draw the entire terrain map in her mind after turning left and right, she is very confident in herself and will never get lost.

Runing is indeed prosperous, at least ten times bigger than Fengxi in Nanya.Zhen Wenjun, a village girl, has really entered the city. She walked on the capital road with sore legs and has not yet reached the market.Along the way, I asked passers-by where the pharmacy was, and the passer-by asked which pharmacy she was going to.

"Are there many pharmacies?"

Passers-by thought she was joking: "Of course, young lady, is this your first time in Runing? Not to mention the four major pharmacies of the government, there are [-] small pharmacies of private merchants scattered all over the city. Every shop has different medicinal materials, so it depends on what you want to buy."

"Here, how far is the nearest one from here?"

"Go straight along this street, go to the south at the next intersection, walk out of two big intersections, then go westward to three small intersections, then go eastward to the main road and walk out for one mile..."

The passer-by spoke so spatteringly that Zhen Wenjun memorized it seriously. After the passer-by finished speaking, he asked her if she remembered it.

"Remember, thank you." Zhen Wenjun thanked and left in a hurry. Passers-by were puzzled:

"Really or not, remember all this?"

The complex terrain and the crowds in Yingjie are extremely beneficial to Zhen Wenjun.When she first arrived at Huaichen Mansion, she didn't know if Li Yanyi had time to beware of her. It is true that none of the people behind her followed her all the time. If there was, it would be very obvious, but there was no guarantee in places she couldn't see.She needs to zigzag forward, even if someone is stalking her secretly, she can shake it off.

On the way to the pharmacy, I happened to see the post post. The post post here is quite large, and the flag hanging at the door is waving in the wind and can be seen from a distance.Zhen Wenjun walked around the post post several times, and finally entered a cloth store, bought a new dress on the spot, walked out from the side door, and slipped into the post post.Just in case, she first reported the news of her arrival to Runing to Lingbi and Wei Tingxu, and then sent a message to "Mr. Ju'an". While tying the sign, she looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to her, and then followed her with broken silver. The other woman who sent the letter came out after exchanging coats.

After staying by Wei Tingxu's side for a long time, Zhen Wenjun has already developed the habit of never leaving any lies even if no one is paying attention, and leaking water is the foundation of life.

Finally, he sent the letter and told Xie's family that she had arrived at Li Yanyi's side.This is just the first step.Although she had heard Li Yanyi's plan to impeach Guo Ru last night, she couldn't pass it on to Xie's family too carelessly.If she was in the past, she might have immediately informed the plan to impeach Guo Ru in order to quickly improve her status in the Xie family, but if she didn't tell the details, she could take the opportunity to threaten the Xie family to let her see her mother.But now she is in no rush to do so.When she first came to Li Yanyi's side, Li Yanyi let her join the late-night plan and let her know all the details. Even if she was Wei Tingxu's confidant, she was too defenseless, maybe it was Li Yanyi's temptation.If she spread the word directly, she might be caught in a trap.

Don't worry, there is still a long way to go.

After going out of the post post to find a pharmacy, I bought back the necessary medicines and walked back. A carriage was speeding along the road and came running behind her.Many passers-by hurriedly backed down, but a child rushed out with a bunch of candies upside down, trying to find her mother across the street.

"Get out of the way!" Seeing that the carriage was about to hit the child, everyone was shocked, the child's mother turned around and saw this scene, and it was too late to save the child.The coachman pulled the reins hard and raised the horse's hooves high. He was about to step on the child like a cotton ball. Zhen Wenjun hugged the child and stepped aside.

"Who's child is not optimistic! Are you looking for death!" The coachman cursed angrily after his hand was strangled with a bloodstain.

The child in her arms cried loudly, and her mother immediately ran up to thank Zhen Wenjun.Zhen Wenjun patted the child's head to comfort her, and looked back at the coachman dressed luxuriously, with gilded animal heads hanging from the four corners of the chariot and horses, and the people in the chariot were either rich or noble, and all the harsh words she wanted to criticize reached her throat and swallowed went back.This place is Ru Ning, a brick can smash the heads of three nobles, she just came here with a special status, she really didn't want to cause trouble, so she swallowed it.The child's mother also had eyesight and kept apologizing while holding the child.

The coachman had no time to delay and was about to set off again immediately.Zhen Wenjun remembered the horse riding skills that Bu Jie had taught her, turned his back and whistled secretly.The horse was startled and suddenly swayed, and the driver, who was already leaning forward, lost his center of gravity and fell directly to the ground due to the shaking.

"What's going on... Oh, hello!" The driver's butt hurt from the fall, and he stretched his waist for a long time before standing up.Zhen Wenjun and the child secretly laughed at the driver's distressed appearance, and the onlookers around them also suffocated their laughter.

"Ah Si." Two fingers in the carriage parted the curtain, revealing half of a gloomy face.The man sitting in the car was nearly sixty years old, his temples and beard were already grey, but his unfathomable lake-like eyes did not show any signs of aging.The face that perfectly matched his deep voice carried a kind of seriousness that was not angry, self-imposing and inviolable.After lifting the curtain, he looked in Zhen Wenjun's direction very purposefully, as if he was following the whistle just now to find the person who teased his coachman.Before Zhen Wenjun could look back, he was stared straight at him.

This person narrowed his eyes slightly, and Zhen Wenjun became nervous. The other party seemed to have guessed her and knew who was playing a prank behind her back.

"Ah Si." Just as Zhen Wenjun hastily stretched out his waist and drew out the Golden Cicada Knife, the man looked away impatiently, "Get up, don't delay me. I have to deliver something."

"Yes! Yes!" The driver ignored the pain and immediately got on his horse and drove away.

Zhen Wenjun watched the carriage go away, heaved a sigh of relief, let go of the child in his arms, and the child cried: "My candy, my candy was crushed by you!"

Zhen Wenjun raised his feet and saw that the soles of his shoes were covered with sugar that had been crushed into mud. No wonder he felt something sticky just now.

Her mother wanted to take the troubled child away, so Zhen Wenjun ran to buy a handful of candy and chased after her to give it to her.The child burst into laughter, and Zhen Wenjun told him, "Don't eat it all in one sitting, it's time for your teeth to break."

"Thank you sister!"

"Go." Zhen Wenjun stroked her round head.

Taking the medicine and walking to Huaichen Mansion, there are many novelties on both sides of the road. Zhen Wenjun bought many interesting gadgets for a long time, thinking of keeping them for Wei Tingxu and Lingbi, and giving them as gifts when they meet next time to them.

When she turned two streets and was about to go back to the house, she slowed down, turned her head slightly and looked back cautiously.

Someone followed her from the previous intersection, and the follower was still sitting in the carriage after listening to the sound, could it be...

Zhen Wenjun saw the gold-plated animal ornaments from the corner of his eye, and it really was the pair of master and servant on the carriage just now!

Could it be to seek revenge?Just for this matter?

Zhen Wenjun couldn't help speeding up his pace.

Liu Fengshou stayed outside the courtyard where Xie Fuchen lived for nearly a month, but Xie Fuchen still did not come out.

Every day, only the pawn who delivers the medicine comes and goes. Today, the pawn came back with big bags and small bags. After staying in the house for a while, he came out quickly, drove away, and seemed to go to buy medicine again.

Liu Feng lay in ambush in the grass fifty paces outside the courtyard, watching the pawns with lowered hat brims leave, he couldn't help thinking, it's impossible for Xie Fuchen to come here secretly and do nothing, even if he was depressed because of Ah Xin's affairs, it wouldn't be too late Be so angry.

Could it be that he had already found out that someone was watching him, so he hid in the house and could not come out?

Or did he come out already?

A flash of inspiration flashed in Liu Feng's mind. He had become accustomed to seeing many pawns coming and going, and he would naturally relax his vigilance when he saw them again.The pawn who lowered the brim of his hat just now drove away in the direction of the east city gate instead of going west to the medicine shop in the market!

That was Xie Fuchen pretending, he was going out of the city!

Liu Feng immediately got up and ran into the woods to find his horse. After jumping on the horse, he shouted sharply and quickly chased after him.The horse general ran less than [-] steps, Liu Feng was in a panic and suddenly fell off the horse.The horse ran away on its own, and Liu Feng rolled on the ground and knelt on one knee, with the knife in his hand.With the rare thin sunlight in Beisai, he saw clearly that there was an extremely thin and hard-to-find iron wire between the two trees he was going to pass just now. If he didn't notice that he broke through, his head might have fallen to the ground.After a closer look, it was found that such wires were everywhere in the woods, and it was clear that someone had been ambushing here long ago.

Liu Feng pulled out his sword, he felt the intent to kill, but he didn't know where the person who wanted to kill him was.

As a veteran general who has experienced big and small battles, this is the first time he encounters an uncertain crisis.

Zhen Wenjun was about to arrive at Huaichen Mansion, but the carriage was still following closely.

She restrained the urge to trot and kept looking back, trying to scare the other party away with her eyes.The coachman was unmoved, and drove the carriage steadily forward, as if he didn't care about her at all.

Looking at this man's rampage in the busy city and his vicious appearance, he is not a good man, even if he is riding in a high-ranking official's carriage, he is still a traitor!Zhen Wenjun didn't believe that no matter how big an official he was, he could still surpass the eldest princess. The eldest princess's mansion was right in front of her eyes. If she went in now, could the carriage follow her?

Unexpectedly, he actually followed in.

Zhen Wenjun was very puzzled, how could there be such a narrow-minded person who holds grudges?Didn't he just frighten his horse and come to the eldest princess's territory in a fit of anger?How could one not know who lived in the Huai Chen Mansion in Ru Ning?

Anyway, already back home, Zhen Wenjun became more courageous, and when he was about to step forward to question him, the old man in the carriage got down first.Zhen Wenjun was about to speak to him, but he was half a minute too late.

Fortunately, it was half a minute late.

Behind him, the servants of Huaichen Mansion saluted in unison, and said loudly:

"Wei Situ!"

Zhen Wenjun froze in place.

She is not familiar with the word "Situ", but the combination with the word "Wei" makes her dumbfounded.

She looked at the old man walking towards her, with a straight back and eagle eyes and a high nose, his face became more and more familiar.

If you say you are a traitor, you are really a traitor!

"Wei Situ, you are here." Li Yanyi also returned to the mansion, walked up from behind Zhen Wenjun, patted Zhen Wenjun on the shoulder and said, "Have you met Zi Zhuo's father?"

More than seen.

Zhen Wenjun was stunned, his legs gave way, and he knelt down, trembling, "See you, meet Wei Minggong!"
