Light Red Northern Song

"Report!" Two generals from the Meng family at the front of the team rushed to report: "Miss, there is no one at the Pingfeng Mountain Post in front."

"Anything else unusual?"

"Back to Miss, there are no other abnormalities. I think the thieves occupied this place before, but they have left now."

"Your Highness, if the thieves once occupied this place, maybe they haven't gone far. Should I take a detour or still go down Pingfeng Mountain?" Meng Changyi bowed his horse and asked in the direction of the carriage beside him.

The four people in the carriage looked at each other a few times, and Jing Rou asked, "If you want to make a detour, what should you do?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, you can go east and then south, bypass Pingfeng Mountain, and pass Liangrong County, and it will take an extra three days to travel." Meng Changyi seemed to be very familiar with the surrounding roads, and replied as he exited.

"Three days?" Jingrou couldn't make up her mind.At present, whether this person is sincerely escorting himself is still unknown, which way should he go?I don't know if the road at the foot of Pingfeng Mountain is easy or not, but if you take a detour, it won't take you three days.

She turned her face and asked in a low voice: "Xia Le, where are the two counties of Liang Rong?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the big county of Liang County is a fiefdom of the loyal and brave Marquis. Lord Hou suffered from liver disease a few years ago, and Liang County is inconvenient to recuperate due to the humidity and heat. The emperor authorized him to stay in Beijing for a long time to recuperate."

"Marquis Zhongyong? Then he is in Beijing, who will manage the fiefdom?"

"The slave does not know."

"What about Rong County?"

"My maidservant doesn't know much about Rong County, only that it is slightly smaller than Zhiliang County. There are mostly steep mountains, the terrain is more dangerous, and there are ferocious beasts from time to time."

"Then there's no need to make a detour, let's go down the Pingfeng Mountain, and please sir Meng, please be careful." Jingrou ordered out loudly.

No matter who is running Liang County at the moment, she is a little apprehensive when she touches the Gan family.

"Obey!" Meng Changyi, the conductor, will lead the way ahead, and still walk the road of Pingfeng Mountain.

Jingrou didn't know if she was always lucky, because there were no details on this journey, and the group traveled safely for several days like this.

This night, everyone stayed overnight at a station.As long as Xia Le stays at the inn these days, he often goes with Lin Yuan to check on Mu Ji's injuries.

Now there is only Jing Rou alone in the room, Meng Changyi said hello to the soldiers guarding the gate and stood outside and said: "His Royal Highness, you can reach Tongcheng tomorrow night."

"Very good, Mr. Meng has worked hard for the past few days. Please rest at the nearest post house outside the Renzi Gate tomorrow night, and then decide on the rest after I return to the palace and report to the Ming sage." The room in the post house is very small, even It is not soundproof even with the door closed, so Jing Rou didn't let her in, she just sat in the room and replied.

Foreign ministers are not allowed to leave the fief without the emperor's will, and they are not allowed to enter the imperial city.She felt that it was impossible for this person to escort her all the way aimlessly, so she first asked him to wait outside the city to be summoned.

"Your Highness, I will not stay in Tongcheng anymore. I will escort Your Highness back to the city tomorrow, and I should return quickly. Please also explain what happened here to the Emperor and the Empress in detail. Don't blame the lower official for leaving without permission." It's better to seal the land."

After a moment of silence, the people in the room said: "Since Mr. Meng has such a plan, I will not force you to stay." After another moment of silence, she continued: "I don't want to thank you for your kindness. Everything is in my heart. There are many."

What are you saying?Although this person did not show any kindness to her on the surface, she knew it in her heart.The soldiers sent to Pingfeng Mountain Station to inquire disappeared for no reason, and the station was indeed occupied by assassins.Where did those assassins go?After a little thought, it can be guessed that perhaps the assassin found out that there are generals from the Meng family guarding him, so he didn't pester him any more.

Meng Changyi stood in front of the door and didn't make a sound for a long time.

"Master Meng, is there something else?" Jing Rou felt strange after listening to the movement for a while.

"It's all right. If His Highness has no other orders, I will leave first."

"Heh," it was clear that there was something to do, but nothing happened.Jing Rou replied with a chuckle: "When Lord Meng thinks of something, come and look for me again."

"Is there a time limit?"

"Deadline?" She thought for a while and replied, "If I can do it, you can come anytime. If I can't, it doesn't matter when you come. This is the deadline."

Meng Changyi stood silently for a while, then turned and left.

At Shenshi the next day, everyone finally arrived near Tongcheng.

"Your Highness, you can go under the city gate for more than half an hour. The officials are leading a large number of people, so I'm afraid it will cause misunderstanding and cause inconvenience." Meng Changyi stooped in front of the horse and walked towards the direction of the carriage. report.

"Then, let's say goodbye here." Jing Rou replied calmly while sitting in the car.

"As you order, be careful on the road, Your Highness."

The carriage moved forward, Lin Yuan opened the curtain to look back, then turned around and asked: "Your Highness, why are you like this? You are so indifferent to people."

"Cold? How can I be warm?"

"No matter how you say this person has protected us all the way, you haven't even uttered a nice word."

"Heh, you are not the one who knows me, I won't argue with you."

Lin Yuan was at a loss.

During the days when he was not in the capital, some things really happened in the court.Qi Zhiwei was granted the title of King Qingxiang, a first-class noble.Although he has a title, he has not been granted a land, so he still lives in Beijing.Chu Shanyi finally listened to the government on behalf of the emperor and went to court.

Hearing this news, Jingrou was still shocked.This imperial aunt is too blatant, but how did she do it?How many ministers do you need to support?It may be difficult to do it with Qi Yongyao alone.It is rare in a thousand years for an emperor and empress to go to court together, not to mention that only the queen is currently going to court alone?

She didn't see the imperial aunt that night when she returned to the palace, and she had to summon her the next day.She explained to him what she saw and heard in the army and the details of the attack on the way back.Of course, the relationship with Qiao Jin was ignored.

"Yu'er, there are always thieves who want to harm you. After Jiali, I should go to the real fairy as soon as possible so that I can rest assured. As for the wounded soldiers, they will be treated. I will also send people to find the remains of the soldiers who died in battle. Don't think about it any more."

"Well, Aunt Huang, don't worry about my affairs. Aren't you worried about Beiying?"

"I'm worried, but I believe Yu'er and the others can handle it. His recent decisions have won my heart, and he has made great progress."

"Then, Qiao Jin loves her?"

"Let's discuss this matter later. Yu'er, the 26th is approaching. The Ministry of Rites has taken a few names for you. My aunt will choose one of them. You can see if you like it or not." Chu Shanyi ordered someone to fetch a scroll as he spoke. tapestry.

Jingrou frowned because the other party changed the topic, and suppressed her displeasure to distinguish the seal characters on it and asked: "Yi, Tang? What's the point?"

"The princesses of the generations of Qi's royal family all follow wood."

Jingrou rolled her eyes in her heart, did she already regard herself as a real person from the Qi country... She unconsciously recited the name of the princess several times, and then asked: "Then, how did the princess of Chu get the name? ?”

"Huh?" Chu Shanyi thought it was because the other party didn't want to follow Qi's rules, and said with a smile: "The princes and princesses of the recent generations of Chu's kingdom mostly use Xiangtai, Yuanji, kindness, kindness, etc., as a good intention."

"It's also said that Chudi is elegant, Yu'er thinks it's really ugly."

"Yu'er, don't talk nonsense, Meng Changyi, I have met her so often this time, I need to think about how to reward the Meng family."

"Then, that Princess Youxian and Meng Baiya?"

"Princess Youxian... the last word of the table is 枔, and she is good at shooting. Alas, she has been missing for nearly ten years, so it may be more or less ominous. As for Meng Baiya, she is indeed very scheming, but it is not yet known what he is. What's on your mind." Chu Shanyi sighed and asked again: "You have been staying with the imperial aunt for so long, can you go and see your imperial sister?"

"I'm going to see it. Is the imperial aunt busy?"

"Well, I have to meet someone later."

"Then Yu'er will leave."

He went to Liyun Palace but did not see Qi Mingyi, and the palace people couldn't explain why.Jingrou thought, could it be that she left the palace secretly?What is there to do so urgently?Knowing that he will not be seen when he returns to the palace, but he wants to run around.

Mu Ji has gone home to recuperate from his injuries, and His Royal Highness, who is considerate of others, allowed Xia Le to rest for a few days. Lin Yuan went out of the palace to check on his injuries but he has not yet returned.With few people there, Jinyun Palace became a little deserted tonight.

Jing Rou was sitting alone in the room, the capital city was breezy at night in September, and it was beginning to enter winter.

Hearing the sound of the wind, she suddenly felt bored, and then went out, Jian Chen and others greeted her.

"Your Highness, do you have any orders?"

"No, I want to walk around."

"Yes." He turned his head and motioned to the guards behind him, and they followed the master forward.

"Lord Jian, I will rest in this pavilion for a while." She was walking around, but she stopped and found that she had reached "Yinyan Pavilion", she didn't want to go any further, she just went inside to look around.

"Yes, Your Highness." Several guards stood around.

"There seems to be no one here." Seeing a short ladder in the pavilion, she glanced up and was about to climb up.

"Reporting to Your Highness, this place is a bit remote, and few people usually pass by. In addition, this place faces west, and crossing the flower path is Duwutang." Jian Chen raised a hand and looked towards the moon on the west side. The door pointed.

Jingrou had climbed to the top of the pavilion at this time, and after hearing the words, she followed the direction of his finger and looked westward, and she saw a flower path inside the Moon Gate.

"Du Wutang? It sounds like..." She was about to continue to say something, but suddenly felt something was wrong, and immediately called down: "Master Jane."

"Why is your highness calling for a lowly position?" Jian Chen raised his head and asked.

At this time, suddenly a man in black rushed out from the flower path on the west side. Seeing this, several guards couldn't help but went forward to arrest him.The man in black is quite skilled in martial arts, he hides from left to right and does not want to be entangled, and it is difficult to tell the winner for a while.

"Help!" A woman's voice came from within the flower path.

Jingrou probed down and found that several guards couldn't get away.Before she had time to think about it, she rushed downstairs and looked for it in the flower path.

There are high palace walls on both sides of the flower path, and there are no lights inside, so it is relatively dark.Jing Rou practiced martial arts and her eyesight is not weak, she saw a woman in green clothes disappearing around the corner in a flash.

She followed closely, and just as she turned the corner, a person suddenly fell from the front and fell straight into her arms.She subconsciously reached out to catch it, and the place where her hand touched was sticky.She has a bad heart, could it be blood?

The woman in front of her hugged her and leaned down due to exhaustion.

Jing Rou moved her hands up to support the opponent's back, followed her movements and slowly squatted down.

"You came here to kill me so desperately?" The woman coughed heavily and asked with difficulty.

"You mean me? You read it wrong, it's not me." Jingrou was stunned, and gently let go of the opponent's back and hurriedly explained.

When she was hugged by the other party at first, she didn't see his figure and appearance.Now let go, and found that the other party is about the same age as Chu Shanyi.He was dressed in a date-colored robe, and his hair was loose in the back of his head.At first glance in the dark, she felt that this face was indescribably familiar.

"That's good. Jiang Mian's body will disappear in this world." The woman ignored her, closed her eyes and said sadly to herself, her chest throbbed for a moment and said: "I will never see you again."

Jingrou was anxious, not to mention that she was misunderstood by others, just by looking at this person's face, she could tell that the situation was not good.She squatted on the spot, looked back anxiously, and shouted: "Come on!"

"Pfft..." The woman suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and the clothes on Jing Rou's chest were soaked by the spurt.

Immediately, she was so frightened by this sudden scene that her mind went blank, she stared straight at the angry man in front of her, and even forgot to blink her eyes.

At the other end of the flower path, two maidservants ran over with a lantern. Before one of the maidservants came close, she seemed to have stepped on a foreign object and fell to the ground.Another ran over, knelt beside the woman and cried, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Jing Rou heard the cry of the servant girl in front of her, and raised her head in a daze to look not far away.I saw a lantern rolling down from the feet of the servant girl who fell down earlier, it was already burning at this moment, and wherever the light of the fire shone, there were scattered Buddhist beads on the ground.

She instantly poured cold water on her back and sat on the ground in shock!

At some point, more than [-] guards arrived one after another.The woman opened her eyes weakly, grabbed the skirt of the person in front of her, and said with the remaining strength: "In the past, I died alone. Tell the empress to let my child go."

Thoughts in Jing Rou's mind have been spinning for several times. At this moment, her face is ashen, her eyes are absent-minded, and she murmurs to herself: "My innocent body has just fallen into the Yellow River, and it will be difficult to wash it away. If I meet Qi Fuxi again in the future, How can I explain to her what happened tonight?"
