Reverse Junhou

Chapter 5 Yidijing [4]

Wen Lan led Bing Tao around from outside the racecourse.Bingtao walked up to his master, obediently bowed his horse's head, and let Wen Xuechao caress its white hair.

"Is this Mongolian horse your mount?" Zhao Fengci looked at Bing Tao in front of him, "The eyes are black, the horse's head is square, it is a good horse."

"It's a pity that I'm not good at riding. Bingtao has never had a good time running." Wen Xuechao scratched Bingtao's nose with his hand, Bingtao flicked his horse's mane a few times, and snorted resonantly.

Mongolian horses are prairie horses, so it's really wrong to keep them in the small horse farm in this palace.Zhao Fengci thought about it for a while, but didn't say much, and signaled Wen Xue to get on the horse.

But I heard that Xue Chao whispered a few words to Sima Guan who was waiting beside him.Sima Officer panicked when he heard the words, and almost knelt down and kowtowed: "Young Master Wen, you can't do this. If His Highness the Crown Prince finds out about this, the little one won't be able to stand the punishment!"

"What are you afraid of?" Wen Xue asked, "If my cousin asks, he will say that Bingtao is not energetic today and looks very tired. I will borrow amber to walk around."

Knowing this, Wen Lan hurriedly took out a golden bean from his sleeve and put it in the Sima Officer's hand.

Sima Guan held the golden beans, hesitated for a moment, then turned and went back to the stable.After a long while, Sima Guan walked towards the two of them, leading a handsome and upright muscular horse.He was a little uneasy in his heart. Amber had such a strong temperament that no one would touch it except His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.If something went wrong between Mr. Wen and His Highness the Fifth Prince today, I'm afraid he will be punished by death.

Wen Xue raised her chin towards Amber, and smiled slyly at Zhao Fengci: "This is a bloody BMW that the Saman tribe paid tribute to, and it is the only one worthy of the power of His Highness the Fifth Highness."

Zhao Fengci looked at Wen Xuechao coldly.

Sweaty BMWs are extremely rare. I grew up outside the Great Wall, and this is the first time I have seen them today.He asked the little official to lead the prince's horse, not knowing what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd.

Wen Xuechao didn't say much, just got on the horse deftly, and said to Zhao Fengci: "Your Highness Fifth, let me take a step ahead!"

With a wave of the whip, Bingtao spread his hooves and ran forward.

The young and vigorous fifth prince was instantly aroused by Wen Xuechao's youthful nature. He took off his robe and walked slowly to Hu Po.

Seeing a stranger walk into her territory, Amber pricked her ears forward and let out an impatient noise from her nose.Seeing that Hu Po might run away, the Sima officer hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but Zhao Fengci suddenly grabbed the horse's bridle, put his arm on Hu Po's neck, then quickly got on the horse, clamped the horse's belly and raised the reins .

Amber felt the control of the person on its back, it dug the soil under its feet heavily, raised its head and started trotting forward.Zhao Fengci's powerful sound of riding the horse reached Hupo's ears, and the sweaty horse gradually quickened its pace, catching up with the ice glutton in front of it in an instant.

Wen Xuechao heard the whistling wind beside him, and knew that it was Zhao Fengci who was catching up.For a moment, he felt eager to win, and he waved the rein to urge Bing Tao to speed up.Bingtao finally met a strong opponent, speeding up and running towards the distance.Zhao Fengci rode amber and gradually distanced himself from himself. The 15-year-old young general was heroic, with a hint of vigor in his tall and straight back, and his whole body exuded vigorous vitality.

The two chased me for half a circle, and Wen Xuechao's eyes suddenly became dizzy, and the stamina of drinking came up.He was gradually exhausted, but seeing the Fifth Prince running in front of him, unwilling to show weakness, he gritted his teeth and followed.

Zhao Fengci was riding his horse and running happily, but found that the pace of Bingtao beside him was not right.He looked back at Wen Xuechao on the horse, and found that his face was a little unnaturally red, cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, his hands let go of the rein, and he was about to fall backwards.

"Wen Xuechao!" Zhao Fengci yelled, seeing that Xuechao didn't respond, he hurriedly supported the horse's back with his elbows, and when the two horses were parallel, he used his hands and feet to jump low into the sky, and let go of Amber's grip with his backhand The reins turned over and jumped onto Bingtao's back.

Zhao Fengci used his arms to support Wen Xuechao who was lying backward, grabbed the reins of Bingtao in front, turned the horse's head and ran back.

Wen Xuechao closed her eyes and leaned on Zhao Fengci's shoulder, her brows were tightly frowned, and the faint smell of alcohol mixed with the scent of spices from Yunpi floated into Zhao Fengci's nose.

Only then did Zhao Fengci realize that this man drank alcohol before coming to the horse race, and was speechless for a moment.

In the middle of the journey, Wen Xuechao was awakened by Bingtao's jolting steps. He opened his mouth to speak intermittently, his voice was so weak that Zhao Fengci had to bow his head to listen carefully.

"Too...too crazy, I want to vomit." Wen Xuechao said weakly.

Zhao Fengci: "..."

As soon as the two returned to the gate of the racecourse, Wen Xuechao scrambled and got off the horse, squatted on the ground and began to vomit.Wen Lan was making a bet with Ah Shen on who the master would win, and seeing his master throwing up his guts, he hurried forward to check on the master's safety.Sima Guan also thought that something was wrong with Wen Xuechao, and his face turned pale with fright.

"Others are fine, just drinking too much." Zhao Fengci took the reins of Hu Po and Bing Tao, and said lightly.The two horses snorted and quietly followed behind Zhao Fengci.

Wen Lan thanked His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness, and carefully helped his master into the sedan chair. As soon as Wen Xuechao touched the soft couch, he collapsed into a ball, and he didn't even have the strength to talk to others.

"Tell your son, don't get on the horse after drinking." Wen Lan was about to close the curtain when he heard the voice of His Royal Highness Fifth Highness outside the curtain.

"Young master hardly drinks alcohol on weekdays, but today he drank so much for some reason." Wen Lan glanced at the dispirited young master, and said timidly to His Highness Fifth.

When Wen Xuechao woke up, it was already noon the next day. His mind was in chaos, and he sat on the couch with his head covered for a long while, trying to recall what happened at the racecourse yesterday.Seeing that the young master woke up, Wen Lan quickly took the washing utensils from the maid and went to the bed to serve the young master.

"My lord, you are awake. You vomited a few times after you returned home last night. The second lady is almost going to ask the doctor to come!" Wen Lan still had lingering fears thinking about last night.Fortunately, the young master seemed to be recovering well, and his complexion was much better than yesterday.

"When did I go back to the mansion...Where is the fifth prince?" Wen Xuechao vaguely remembered that he almost vomited on the fifth prince yesterday, but the memory on the horseback only remembered sporadic fragments.It seemed that he almost fell off the horse, but was pulled by the fifth prince in time.

Before Wen Lan could reply, there was a burst of noise in front of Yunrong Pavilion.An apricot-yellow figure strode into Wen Xuechao's backyard. Instead of stopping him, the servants of Wen's mansion knelt down on the ground.

When Wen Xuechao saw the visitor, he immediately wanted to get down from the collapse, but was stopped by Zhao Qimiao with a wave of his hand: "I have something private to tell you, you let the idlers back down first."

Wen Lan gently closed the door, and led all the servants out of the inner hall.The prince looked around carefully, seeing that there were no outsiders in the hall, he said quietly: "Xue Chao, I want you to do me a favor."

Wen Xuechao made a cup of tea for Zhao Qimiao: "Is there anything in this world that His Highness can't solve?"

"Have you heard of Ganoderma lucidum, the female official of Hanxiang Palace?"

"I have indeed heard about this Ganoderma lucidum, she is a great beauty. It is rumored among the people that she was the most talented woman in Guangling before she entered the palace, and she was the most beautiful woman." Wen Xuechao blinked, "Could it be that my cousin fell in love with this Ganoderma girl, Do you want to be included in the government as a small child?"

A trace of gloom flashed in Zhao Qimiao's eyes, he hesitated for a while, and said, "She threw herself into a well in the backyard of Hanxiang Palace and died last night."

"I sent someone to do it."

Wen Xue's hand that was pouring tea froze slightly.

"Lao Qi and I drank too much last night. Concubine An Ning sent Ganoderma lucidum out of the palace to find Lao Qi. Lao Qi missed her on the way. I was taking a walk in the front yard to hangover. If you lose your composure, just..."

"She was crying and refusing last night, and kept struggling. I was very drunk, so I hit her harder, which left a lot of marks on her. Concubine An Ning and the Queen Mother have always been at odds with each other. I am worried that she will go back to the palace to sue and let her Concubine An Ning caught me."

"The sedan chair she used to go out of the palace is a peaceful person, I dare not touch it..."

"So you sent someone to notify the secret sentry in Hanxiang Palace to deal with her privately, and pretended to commit suicide and threw her into the well?" Wen Xuechao followed Zhao Qimiao's words.

Zhao Qimiao nodded, covering his face with his hands, with a look of remorse.

"What do you want me to do?" After a long time, Wen Xuechao asked.

Zhao Qimiao was a little surprised when he heard that Xue Chao was so straightforward, but he quickly said: "Xue Chao, you have a private seal given to you by your mother. Only your car in and out of the palace will not be searched by the Habayashi guards. You enter today I will send my people to wait in Hanxiang Palace, and you will use your sedan chair to smuggle her out of the palace and throw her to a mass grave outside the city to avoid future troubles."

"My mother said that I was too impulsive to do things. At this point, she can't intervene openly. Xue Chao, this matter must not have anything to do with me. If my father finds out, I will definitely have no good fruit to eat. This is also a last resort. ..." Zhao Qimiao looked at Wen Xuechao with a guilty look on his face, and there was already some pleading in his eyes.

Wen Xuechao lowered her eyes silently, and kept rubbing the jade pendant around her waist with her right hand, and said after a long time: "Since it's my aunt's wish, I will follow suit."

When Zhao Qimiao heard that Xue Chao agreed, the big stone in his heart finally fell.He gave Wen Xuechao a few more instructions, and hurried back to the palace.

Wen Lan saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had left the mansion, but the Young Master had not called him into the house to wait on him for a long time, and felt a little worried.He lightly knocked on the door of Yunrong Pavilion, and asked in a low voice: "Is everything all right, young master? Do you need me to come in and serve you?"

No one in the courtyard responded for a long time, and Wen Lan was about to ask again, only to hear the son's voice faintly coming from the house: "Lang Lang, you send someone to prepare the car and sedan chair, I want to enter the palace."

Just after noon, the surrounding area of ​​Hanxiang Temple was quiet, the cool wind of early autumn swept the fallen leaves on the palace path, and the autumn cicadas hid in the shade of the trees and hummed.Wenfu's sedan chair drove straight in from the main gate of Li, and stopped beside an inconspicuous stone wall in the side hall of Hanxiang Hall.

An inconspicuous-looking father-in-law had already been waiting outside the side door, and when he saw the sedan chair from the Wenfu Mansion approaching, he blessed Wen Xuechao who was inside the sedan chair, then stooped and dodged into the courtyard.After a while, two men dressed as eunuchs carried out a woman's body from the side door.

Ganoderma lucidum's face was covered with a piece of plain gauze, and the clothes on her body were still the skirts worn by female officials who went to the Prince's Mansion yesterday.Two eunuchs carried the body of Ganoderma lucidum onto Wen Xuechao's sedan chair. There was a spacious dark cabinet under the chair seat. The eunuchs put the body into the dark cabinet, and the seat was covered with thick ferrets. Fur, no one can see the strangeness.

An eunuch bowed to Wen Xuechao and said, "Your Highness asked the servants to tell the young master to be careful on the road, and don't let others know."

After finishing speaking, he returned to Hanxiang Hall through the side door, the whole process was silent, not even the birds on the tree were disturbed.

The bearer was a member of Queen Wen, and he turned into a corpse bearer, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart, but he couldn't help feeling quite courageous.After the corpse was properly placed, Mr. Wen conveniently sat down on top of the corpse with a calm expression on his face.

Wen Xuechao's car did not attract the attention of any guards. The sedan chair carried a person and a corpse out of the palace gate. After leaving the palace, he took the horses and drove towards the mass grave outside the city.Arriving at the mass grave, Wen Xue got up from the seat expressionlessly, stood not far away, and watched the guards take out the corpse of Ganoderma lucidum from the sedan chair.

The plain gauze on the Ganoderma lucidum surface was lifted by a gust of cool wind, revealing the once beautiful face.I saw Ganoderma lucidum's eyes wide open, and her face was full of unwillingness.

Wen Xuechao's gaze fell firmly on Ganoderma lucidum's face.The young prime minister had seen many dead people, including the servants of the Wenfu who were executed with sticks, the death row prisoners who were beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, and the old women who were frozen to death in the wind and snow.Today I saw the woman who died of injustice again.

He waved his hand to signal the bearers to retreat, and walked up to Ganoderma lucidum's body.The rotten smell of the corpse came over his face, Wen Xuechao squatted down, and said softly to the dying Ganoderma lucidum: "Keep your eyes open and watch carefully. When you cross the bridge of Naihe, don't forget who you died for."
