Chapter 89 The capital is in sight

Yinhu agreed to return to Beijing, and ordered the guards to not treat the family servants of the first courtyard harshly.Before the arrival of the spy leader, he was entrusted by the emperor to ask the master to go back, and Yinhu followed suit in other matters.Therefore, only the family and servants of this courtyard were detained in each house in the outer courtyard, so as not to be leaked by someone who leaked the news.

Yinhu was planning to go on the road alone, after all, the fate of this trip is uncertain.However, Fangruo led Bi Yunchang to kneel in front of him, vowing to follow him to the death, there is no persuasion.In the end, Yinhu compromised, and the three masters and servants, surrounded by guards at the sticky pole, boarded the chariot and horses before noon and left Huizhou.

It was half a month later when the butler released from the mansion rushed to Guangzhou to deliver a letter to Jiu Beizi's mansion.

Yunyu held the letter left by the starling and read it over and over again, feeling unbelievable in her heart that the starling had just embarked on the journey back to Beijing so easily.Let's not talk about how the emperor will treat the starling, just the battle situation on the table, once the current emperor makes a mistake, how will the starling deal with his current status?

However, at this moment, Yunyu is beyond his reach, even if he chases quickly, he will definitely not be able to catch up with this group of people.

As for Yinhu and his party, since they left Huizhou, they still took the coastal sea route and headed north all the way.The boats bestowed by the emperor are naturally incomparable when they come.

As soon as he boarded the boat, Yinhu saw Liu Yungui who had been serving in Chuxiu Palace all the year round to pick him up.

Yinhu entered the dormitory, the windows in the cabin were bright and clean, extraordinarily spacious and warm, blocking out the coldness of the southern winter.

General Yinhu sat down and drank a cup of warm water, then someone asked to see him outside, and it was the imperial physician Liu Yuduo who came.

Physician Liu had already been waiting on the ship for several days, he knew the purpose of the trip that the emperor sent him, and he was only engrossed in waiting for Master Lian to recuperate his body, and ignored the rest.

Seeing the imperial physician coming all the way from the palace, Yinhu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled inwardly, and sighed: Sure enough, the emperor still values ​​the heir.

Yinhu saw that Imperial Physician Liu was quite cautious, so he said, "I haven't seen Imperial Physician Liu for a long time, how are you doing well in the palace?"

Liu Yuduo had just carefully given Yinhu a pulse, and when the master asked a question, he quickly replied respectfully, "Thank you, master, for thinking about it. Everything in the palace remains the same, but the emperor's health is not as good as before."

After hearing this sentence, Yinhu was silent in his heart, and didn't speak anymore, letting Liu Yuduo take the pulse.

Physician Liu checked the pulse himself, and felt a little more at ease.

Firstly, Master Lian's fetus is sitting firmly, and secondly, the timing of this fetus is also suitable.Often walking in the Forbidden Palace, whoever is walking on thin ice in the Taiyuan Hospital, if the master on the head is in trouble, I am afraid that the people below will all die without a burial.

Liu Yuduo retired respectfully, in addition to administering anti-abortion tonics, he also reported the current situation of Master Lian's Zimai case to the emperor.Imperial Physician Liu wrote very detailed and detailed, the month of the emperor's heir is naturally recorded in the record.

Yinhu had to lean on the couch for a long time, the window of this room was wide and bright, the shore appeared and disappeared, gradually drifting away, the whole inner room was enveloped by the halo rising from the water, and the whole body was warm, Extraordinarily comfortable and relaxing.

Liu Yungui sometimes stood by the door and told his master the general situation on the boat.

It turned out that the emperor sent more than one ship to pick up the people, there were two merchant ships escorting each other, there were no less than a hundred people inside and outside.

On this big ship alone, besides Imperial Physician Liu, there was also the royal chef hand-picked by the emperor in the imperial dining room of the Hall of Mental Cultivation to accompany him, as well as the mother-in-law who had served Yinhu before and after childbirth in Chuxiu Palace.Not to mention the delicacies of Yaoshi, even the seasonal fruits and vegetables are brought up from the shore every three days by boats.

Yinhu originally thought that the fourth child came to arrest people at this time, but he was afraid that he was unwilling to go to the battlefield alone. He thought that he wanted to dispose of himself before leaving, and maybe he had a back on the road to Huangquan.But looking at the current posture, the emperor is attentive and sincere, but Yinhu seems to be treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Yinhu caressed her growing belly, and said bitterly in her heart: Could it be that the emperor can really swallow his anger and let the past go for such an ambiguous and unclear heir?

The few days on the ship are fleeting.However, being on an isolated island on a boat, far away from the world, Yinhu could not even hear any news of the war.After all, Fang Ruo was also a female in the inner court, trapped on the boat, facing a group of servants and guards hand-picked by the emperor, he couldn't find any valuable news.

And Liu Yuduo is the only one who can say a few words every day, but how many political affairs can the imperial physician understand, but he just tells Yinhu's ear how the emperor spent these days, forgetting to eat and sleep, waiting for death, and mentioning the sixth elder brother from time to time Now being raised by the emperor's side is finally the only concern of the emperor in the forbidden palace.

After listening to it a few times, Yinhu realized that he couldn't ask anything else from Liu Yuduo.Counting the days, it has been more than half a month away from the shore, and the ninth brother must have received the news by this time.

Yinhu was a little lost in thought, and could almost see Lao Jiu throwing down the letter in a panic.Yinhu felt guilty, and his previous efforts were wasted this time, I am afraid that the ninth brother will curse himself this time.

Thinking of this, Yinhu smiled instead, and the scenes of childhood flashed into his mind.When they were young, the ninth and tenth brothers were quite stubborn, and they often made the mother and concubine worry about them in the harem.As for his elder brother, he was also afraid of the power of his mother's family at first, and he was very tolerant of Ai Fu to his two younger brothers.As time goes by, on the contrary, I am the only one who can control the temper of my younger brothers the most, and the few of them can mix together more and more.

Yinhu often felt that maybe he was born to be a big brother.He used to be complacent about this, but later he paid a painful price for it.

And what about the fourth brother at that time?Yinhu squinted her eyes and turned sideways, nestled comfortably in the sunshine, lingering in the depths of memory for a moment.

At that time, the fourth brother was really indifferent, always with a usual look, neither happy nor angry, neither cold nor hot, neither close nor close.When the brothers are playing around, he is always properly placed in a quiet corner, not appearing prominent.

Perhaps it was the emperor's father's "moody" remark in the early years that deeply restrained the fourth brother's nature, allowing him to have such a calm and mature personality at a young age.

Yinhu remembered that at that time he left the palace and built the mansion very late, and during the long time trapped in the harem, he loved to run to the fourth brother's mansion the most.Pretending to practice calligraphy and play chess, but in fact eat and drink, listening to the rare rambling criticisms of the fourth brother.Yinhu, who is used to being a "good brother", seems to be able to experience the freedom and casualness of being a younger brother only by being around this person.

However, this fourth brother, when he turned around and showed his fangs, he was so horrifying and unexpected.

Yinhu's whole body shuddered suddenly in his sleepy sleep, and he woke up completely.

"Master?" Fang Ruo, who was waiting on the side, was obviously taken aback by the master's reaction, and hurried forward to see what was wrong with Yinhu.

Yinhu sat up slowly, and now his body was getting heavier and heavier. Every time he woke up after sleeping for a while, his waist and legs felt sore and numb, and it took him a while to recover.

"It's okay, I was just haunted by a nightmare." Yinhu let Fang Ruo wipe off the thin sweat on his forehead, took another sip of water, and asked Biyun to come over and pinch his cramped calf.

Liu Yungui heard movement in the house, so he approached the door lightly and said, "Report to Master, the boat will arrive in Tianjin in five days."

Yinhu was slightly startled when he heard this, but he didn't expect the speed of the return trip to be so fast, and it was not yet January.But after thinking about it again, their group has the emperor's official certificate, so it must be a very smooth journey.

Liu Yungui stood outside the door and saw that the master did not speak, so he continued, "Now there is a heavy snow over there, and the road is difficult to travel. The commander has already cleaned out the courtyard in the outskirts of Tianjin, and please stay there for a few days. Let the snow melt clean before entering Beijing."

As soon as the words were finished, Fang Ruo came out after a while and asked Liu Yungui to lead her to meet the commander of the guards.

"Our master said that you don't need to rest when you get off the boat, just go straight to the capital." Fang Ruo saw the commander's face was distressed, and said softly, "There is Imperial Physician Liu accompanying you, and the master is safe. Be careful when you travel. That’s it, you can’t let the emperor wait in a hurry.”

The commander of the guards naturally hoped to send Master Lian to the emperor as soon as possible, so as to avoid long nights and dreams, and extra troubles.So he took the order and hurried down to strengthen the horses and carriages, trying to be stable and comfortable.

Five days later, the big ship was berthed at Tianjin Port on time.

It was the first time for Yinhu to step on the deck since boarding the ship. Although he was wearing a jacket and a fur robe outside, he still shivered a few times when he was suddenly in the snow and ice.

The cold wind mixed with fresh snow poured into his nose and mouth, and a long-lost breath instantly filled Yinhu's mind.

"Master, don't stand for a long time, be careful of being blown through by the wind." Fang Ruo hugged Yinhu's waist, firstly to protect the master's back from being blown by the cold wind, secondly, because he was afraid that the deck would be wet and slippery .

It's almost evening at this time, even in this cold winter months, there are not a few ships loading and unloading on the short embankment, and the coastal scene is still prosperous, and people's hearts are not as unstable as Yinhu thought, let alone looked down upon. There is still a little bit of war and chaos.

Yinhu stopped to watch with some concern, but the commander of the guards hurried forward and said, "This place is crowded with people, and the master is too expensive to stay here. Please get in the carriage and rest, let's hurry."

With that said, those disguised guards had already surrounded Yinhu's master and servants in the crowd, blocking Yinhu's inspection eyes just right.

Yinhu was almost carried into the carriage by someone. Naturally, there was a hot gold charcoal stove burning in the carriage, which was not only warm, but also free of smoke and dust.

After sitting still for a while, I felt the carriages and horses start steadily, and a group of carriages and horses disappeared into the sunset along the official road.

When passing by the market, Yinhu asked Biyun to open the curtains, and saw the street vendors on both sides taking advantage of the sunset to clean up their stalls. Although the alleyway was a bit muddy and dilapidated, it still had the usual atmosphere of the market.

Before Yinhu could take another look, a dark brown steed hurried up to the car window and said in a low voice, "Master, it's already night, don't catch a cold. The servants are on their way tonight, wronged the master Stay overnight in the carriage and arrive in Beijing tomorrow."

When Yinhu heard it, he naturally recognized that the speaker was the commander of the guards, and nodded silently, signaling Biyun to put down the curtain.

After a long silence, I heard the sound of horseshoes outside, rattling away.

"Master, rest." Fang Ruo naturally saw that Yinhu's face was gloomy, but now the three of them, master and servant, have no power to fight back, so they can only let it go.

Yinhu sighed deeply, and lay down on his side supported by Biyun, but a haze suddenly rose in his heart, which disturbed him tossing and turning, making him sleepless all night.

It was silent in the middle of the night, and even in a stable carriage, one could still hear the squeaky wheels rolling outside, as if the snow on the ground had accumulated a few more layers.

And Biyun was already nestled in the corner, wrapped in cotton clothes and closed her eyes.

Fang Ruo leaned against Yinhu and helped the master turn over and tuck in the quilt, so he could see that the master slept very restlessly that night.

"My master is not feeling well. Do you want to call Imperial Physician Liu to have a look?" Fang Ruo was a little worried and couldn't help but speak.Although Yinhu's body was almost healthy during the month on the boat, but after all, he was on the road with such a big month of leakage, how comfortable would it be even in a comfortable carriage.

"It's okay, it's just that I've been wading around for a long time during the day, so I won't be able to fall asleep." Yinhu leaned on the pillow, stroking the stove in his hand back and forth.Fearing that the heat would hurt the little master in his stomach, Fang Ruo only put two pieces of warm charcoal, and had to replace one for Yinhu every half an hour.

"Master, do you miss the emperor?" Fang Ruo gently pinched Yinhu's leg, while expressing the thoughts in his heart that had been hidden all the way. In the palace, I didn’t understand what it was like before.”

Yinhu raised his eyes leisurely to look at Fang Ruo, and said, "I was thinking about the emperor, and how tragic the battle would be, so that the fourth brother was forced to think of the imperial conquest."

When it came to military and state affairs, Fang Ruo didn't understand clearly, so he could only continue to ask in a low voice, "If the emperor decides to go there in person, what will the master plan?"

Yinhu suddenly smiled, and muttered to himself, "I'm afraid the fourth brother of the emperor is cheating on me."

Fang Ruo only knew half of what he heard, and felt that after years of waiting, he naturally understood the helplessness and even sadness in the master's smile.Before she could speak again, Yinhu turned over again and stopped talking.

That night, the cold snow was flying outside the wooden window, and the coachman and guards who were on their way were all extremely careful, for fear of disturbing the master in the car.

Yinhu also closed her eyes tightly, and fell asleep drowsily after staying up until dawn.

Half a day in the cold winter, even after noon, there is not much sunshine.

It wasn't until Shen Shi passed that this group of mighty chariots and horses walked leisurely outside the Old Summer Palace.

The author has something to say: the starling is finally back, and the next chapter will officially meet the fourth brother.

This time the fourth brother is cheating, and it is useless for the starling to realize it when he arrives at the door.
