Respect the little husband [farming]

This night is destined to be unsettled, and the palace is already full of noise.

"Empress Dowager, my concubine took Young Master Jiao to play and didn't look carefully at him. It was the concubine's fault that he was framed by the assassin and fell into the water. It is even more sinful to make the Empress Dowager sad. Please punish the Empress Dowager." The empress said palely. After a blessing, he was weak and weak, and looked as if he was overly frightened.

Emperor Chongxin couldn't bear it, and just about to say a few words to tell her to sit down first, the queen mother stepped forward and slapped her on the face: "What are you pretending to do with me! Those assassins must not be after my little Shuanger , why are you all right, only my little pair fell into the water!"

Tao Hong stood in front of her mother to protect her, and begged: "My mother, this is not what my mother thought, who would have thought that there would be an assassin—"

"Queen Mother," Lu Xiu interrupted her in a deep voice, covering her waist injury by her side, her lips were so pale that she was supported to kneel on the ground, "The Empress Dowager kidnapped my son, she was the one who pushed him into the water, I also want the queen mother to be the master of my son."

Empress He: "Stop talking nonsense, you lowly slave! It's obvious that you, a lowly slave, are not doing enough to protect the Lord, but instead put the responsibility on Bengong. If it's true according to what you said, why is Bengong holding Young Master Jiao hostage?"

Lu Xiu stared at her fiercely and couldn't open her mouth. She knew the reason and couldn't say it.

"I'm afraid it's because you're afraid of Concubine Ning, and want to hurt my little twin and give me a blow!" The queen mother took a step towards her, "You were messing around in this palace earlier, with a narrow heart and vicious moves. How can a woman deserve to be a queen? I beg the emperor to abolish her queen's handprint."

Empress He suddenly raised her eyes and clenched her fingers tightly.Emperor Chongxin sighed, feeling very tired: "Even though the empress has made many mistakes and omissions, there is no credit or hard work in taking care of the harem for so many years, not to mention abolishing the empress is an important matter for the country, so it can be abolished as soon as it is abolished." I also know that the Empress Dowager is feeling sad, so she speaks a bit harshly, and it is not intentional, the most important thing now is to find Young Master Jiao, and let's settle the debt slowly in the future."

Empress He smiled slightly, and turned her face away with disdain, she is the mother of a country, how could she be crippled just because of a jobless little twin!

"Since I have no control over the affairs of the court, I can always intervene in the affairs of the harem. Someone will come and drag the queen down, and the Zhongcui Palace will be confined. Without my order, no one will let her out! "The queen mother said angrily, and just after she finished speaking, she covered her heart in pain, and bent down unbearably, as if she was so angry, Yuanyang hurriedly helped her to sit on the chair:

"Your Majesty? Are you alright, Madam, quickly invite the Imperial Physician, and invite the Imperial Physician Zhao over!"

Seeing that the matter was getting worse, Emperor Chongxin was very annoyed, looked at the queen and took a deep breath, and ordered people to send her back to the palace first, so that she would not be required to follow this spring hunt.

Someone has to take a step back, and it's better for a queen to take a step back than a queen.

Jin Zhong had no choice but to stop in front of the empress: "Your Majesty, please, the Empress Dowager is too old to be stimulated, so I can only feel wronged by your empress."

Empress He glanced at the emperor, and then back at the queen mother, her teeth were about to be shattered, this old hag is just pretending, some people really believe it, but it's really not good for her to continue to make trouble.

"Tao Hong, come back to the palace with me. The concubine is not here to obstruct the Queen Mother's eyes, so as not to get another slap." Empress He said in a strange way, and as soon as Tao Hong stepped out of the palace gate, she saw four guards in front of her carrying a stretcher. A corner ran over.

Yan Qi: "Prince doctor! Please call for a doctor! The second prince is seriously injured, please call for a doctor!"

Empress He stopped immediately, and as the stretcher was being carried closer and closer, she saw the face on it clearly, and her face was instantly solemn... What's going on?

When she saw Shen Wenxuan rushing over, she thought that Shen Wenxuan had noticed something, and Li Zhi didn't stop her, but she never expected that he would dare to hurt Li Zhi to such an extent, being held up like a person who is about to go home blood man.

Emperor Chongxin came out in a hurry, and the moment he saw Li Zhi, his vision blurred.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Jin Zhong hurriedly supported him, and was about to cry when he saw his purple lips, "Your Majesty, take care, Your Majesty."

The imperial physicians came in a group, seeing the battle, they couldn't help sweating on their foreheads, none of these three top nobles were easy to provoke, if there was a slight mistake, their heads might be lost today.

In an instant, the entire palace seemed to be cast with a deep shadow, the palace people, big and small, kept silent, and hurriedly started the work at hand, not daring to exchange a word.

The hair that was originally black and white has now become white and black. Emperor Chongxin half leaned on the padded chest at the head of the bed, panting up and down, and asked vigorously, "How is the second child?"

The imperial doctor: "Don't worry, your majesty, the second prince's life is safe now, but the injury is a little bit serious. There are cracks in the ribs, thigh bones and shoulders. They should be broken back after the fracture. Fortunately, the breaking was done in time. It wasn't scratched by the misplaced bone, but the pain was so severe that I couldn't wake up in a short time, and I had to take care of it in the future."

Emperor Chongxin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who? Who dares to hurt my emperor's son, say—" He coughed, and his cloudy eyes swept over the kneeling person below.

Yan Qi's back tightened when he was seen, and immediately knelt down and said: "I am not good at doing things, and I failed to understand the sinister intentions of the Qiang Kingdom in time. It is really the sinister envoy of the Qiang Kingdom who colluded with Xuelian in an attempt to murder the second prince. Fortunately, The inspecting imperial guards and General Ge came to the rescue after noticing it, but the other party obviously came prepared, with treacherous tactics and unheard-of weapons, who could kill people invisible within ten steps away, and the lack of protection by the officials and others killed the second prince Accidentally fell off the horse, and ask the emperor to come down."

As he spoke, he brought forward the broken and twisted gun barrel in his hand.

"Qiang people?" Emperor Chongxin's heart burned instantly to his limbs and bones, he took a few breaths before suppressing the turbulence in his heart, his eyes were extremely cold.

"Come here, summon the Fanwang of the Qiang tribe." He said hoarsely.

King Fan had already been detained when Yanqi came back. At this time, several guards pressed him up together and forced him to kneel down.

"What are you doing?! Daqing treated me like this because he wanted to turn against my Qiang country! All the ministers of my Qiang country died in your Daqing, and you have to give me an explanation no matter what!" Fan Wang was so crushed that he couldn't move, and said angrily. .

Yan Qi: "An explanation? You still want an explanation! Your Majesty, I suspect that the blood lotus that has appeared and disappeared this month is caused by the Qiang people. If not, how could the people of the blood lotus stand with them? ? This group of barbarians are causing trouble. I am not enough to face the southwest, but I also want to turn the capital of Daqing upside down."

Fan Wang: "You spout blood! You Daqing are so unreasonable. The dead are my Qiang country's envoys. You still want to impose unwarranted charges on our Qiang country. You are deceiving people too much! It’s not that there is no counterattack, if Daqing continues to be so reckless, this king will immediately write a letter and send troops back to the southwest, and Daqing will definitely have no peace!”

Yan Qi: "You sent troops? Do you think Daqing is afraid of you? I am a man of Daqing who is a vegetarian! Besides, you said that I framed you, so how could your envoys collide with my second prince? Let alone Said that this thing was found from your Qiang people, and my guards died because of this thing, and your ministers have ordinary knife and arrow wounds on their bodies, the evidence is conclusive, why do you want to quibble! "

"You—" King Fan was anxious to rush forward but was pushed back, his face livid.

"If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about. This king has a clear conscience. He has never murdered the second prince. What is right and which is wrong? Just wait for the second prince to wake up. By then, we will be able to clearly distinguish who is a human and who is a ghost."

"If this king is innocent, and Daqing killed 13 envoys of the Qiang Kingdom, we must give our country a perfect explanation!"

This group of barbarians are waiting here, and they probably have already planned to exchange the lives of their subordinates for a reversal of defeat.

Yan Qi glared at him fiercely: "You just want to delay the time, thinking that the Qiang Kingdom will put pressure on you to save you, you have no way!"

Why didn't the second prince die, wow!

Emperor Chongxin sat up from the cushion, his eyes were not warm at all, it was just a game between various forces, he knew very well that none of them were innocent.

In just one year, he had already lost his fourth child, and his second child was also seriously injured.When the fourth child was gone, he was connected with the second child, so he couldn't pursue anyone's crimes, but this time the second child had an accident again, no matter who was right or wrong, he must not be soft, even if it was a wrongful killing, no one but him can give it to him. His prince set up a bureau.

"The envoys of the Qiang nationality attempted to murder the prince. The evidence is conclusive. They came to suppress King Fan and quartered his body outside the Zhengyang Gate."

King Fan's face was full of astonishment, and as soon as he said that he was happy, he heard Emperor Chongxin continue: "General Zhonglang said that he had neglected his duties, and the general Ge Wucheng of Zhenbei was weak in guarding. Go to Zhengyangmen and give him whipping punishment, and you will not be given water or food. If the second prince wakes up within three days, I will spare you the death penalty. If he does not wake up within three days, you will be like this Qiang dog , all of them will be dragged to be buried with me!"

Yan Qi froze, his eyes on the emperor were cold from head to toe.

"...Your Majesty, I know that I have committed a serious crime. It is absolutely true that I want to be beaten and punished. However, General Ge was also seriously injured in order to save the second prince. I am determined not to be punished again. I beg the Emperor—"

"Pull it down! I don't want to hear your sophistry again." Emperor Chongxin said angrily, panting heavily, and the coldness of the dead man was more like Yan Luo Mingsha.

"No! I am Prince Kashaer of the Qiang tribe. If you kill me, the Qiang Kingdom will definitely retaliate. Let go!" King Fan struggled to the death, but the guards firmly suppressed him and dragged him and Yanqi down together. .

Ge Wucheng, who was far away in the palace elsewhere, was being bandaged by the military doctor he brought with him, and was taken away by the guards who rushed over after a while. His hands were bound and hung under the Zhengyang Gate, kneeling on the ground, stripping his upper body, The sharp whip was whipped on the back with the sound of breaking through the air, leaving bloodstains, and soon the wounds were intertwined and bloody.

"Where is Shen, Shen Wenxuan?" Emperor Chongxin asked.

Jin Zhong carefully replied while feeding the medicine: "I heard from the people below that Mr. Shen was traveling with the second prince. The second prince is seriously injured now, but Mr. Shen has disappeared. He has not been found yet."

He only spoke half of the sentence, and he consciously concealed the expression on the emperor's face after the last sentence. Could it be that Mr. Shen has also encountered an accident?

Emperor Chongxin coughed a few times, panting hoarsely like an old exhaust fan: "Go, find Zhao Er, let him take the guards into the forest to look for him, if you can't find him, don't come to see me again. "

"Also, send someone to inform Zhang Yujian quickly, and let him escort Lao Qi back. There must be no mistakes along the way, and Lao Qi must be brought back safely."

Ask Zhang Yujian to bring the Seventh Prince back, and the disaster relief in the southwest... Jinzhong stopped his thoughts, this is not what he should think, and nodded in response.

Prime Minister He was still standing outside. When Jin Zhong came out, he reminded: "Prime Minister, the emperor is not feeling well tonight, so he won't invite Prime Minister in. You should go back."

"Jinzhong Eunuch," Prime Minister He stopped him, and stuffed the jade pendant around his waist, "I checked the ministers who came with me, and only Mr. Shen was missing, I don't know Eunuch—"

Jin Zhong sighed: "The miscellaneous family is also about to send someone to look for it. I don't know whether Mr. Shen is alive or dead now. I'm afraid it will be delayed later. Alas, our emperor is also frightened, and he wants to send someone to arrest the seventh prince. Call me back, pity the hearts of parents in the world, it is safest for this child to stay at the knees of parents."

The Southwest... Prime Minister He thought about it for a while, but then he thought that he couldn't care about it now.

"Prime Minister, I've said all that the miscellaneous family should say, but the miscellaneous family dare not take this gift, you'd better keep it yourself." As he said that, Jin Zhong stuffed the jade pendant back in his hand, and walked past him.

Prime Minister He glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, turned his head to glance at Jin Zhong's back, sneered, turned around and went down the steps and threw the jade pendant in his hand.

His He family has always been shy around the emperor.

Prince Jing could see clearly from a distance, watched him approaching silently, and suddenly grabbed his hand when he was about to pass: "Min'er, stop doing dangerous things."

Prime Minister He shook off his hand and turned his wrist: "You don't have to worry about what I want to do."

At midnight, Shen Wenxuan tilted his head and looked at Jiao Shihan, who was already asleep on his lap, and curled his slightly curly forehead hair with his fingers at random. The warm yellow light of the fire shone on his face. It was bright and half dark, except for the occasional crackling sound from the fire, there was only the sound of Ajiao's light breathing, very peaceful.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the cave, Shen Wenxuan raised his eyes, and unhurriedly walked around behind Ajiao to support the back of his head and neck, gently placed them on a ball of clothes, and pulled his body to cover him when he got up. robe, and went out very lightly.

Outside the cave, as expected, stood a row of people wearing black cloaks.

"Young master." One of them bowed and handed over the prepared clothes and other items.

Shen Wenxuan took it and glanced at the painting boat parked on the river.

The man in black: "The people from the emperor and the queen mother will come along the river bank soon, please leave as soon as possible."

Shen Wenxuan: "How's the situation outside?"

"The second prince is not dead. When he was going to kill him, he was stopped by the little general of the Ning family. Now he is seriously injured and unconscious. According to Dr. Zhao, according to the degree of his injury, he will not wake up within ten days and a half months. That fan of the Qiang family The king was sentenced to death, but the emperor has also dealt with Yan Qi and Ge Wucheng, and they are hanging under the Zhengyang gate now."

Shen Wenxuan: "Ning Jian? What did he say?"

"He didn't say anything. He explained to others that he happened to pass by there, accidentally found the injured Ge Wucheng and the second prince, and then called the guards."

That being the case, it was expected that Yan Qi would be fined for his ineffectiveness, but Ge Wucheng saved the second prince, and the emperor even fined him... This old man must have been extremely sensitive.

Shen Wenxuan laughed. As for Li Zhi, don't worry, serious injuries are still a way to die. If he died on the spot, the two probably wouldn't be able to wait for them to come to rescue him.

"Send someone to watch over Ning Jian, then prepare two dead bodies to replace Yan Qi and Ge Wucheng, and go to Wang Muze for the rest, he knows what to do."

"Yes." The man in black bowed and stepped back, gradually disappearing into the forest and blending into the darkness, and soon disappeared.

Shen Wenxuan went back to the cave and changed his clothes. He took off the heavy official uniform and the wealth clothes assimilated with those businessmen. He only had a white lining and a gray outer robe. Shen Wenxuan stretched his shoulders and felt much more comfortable. .

Putting out the fire with earth, he lightly picked up Jiao Shihan in the dark and walked towards the boat by the river.

"......Um?"

As soon as the wind blows, Jiao Shihan wakes up from her sleep, realizing that it is Shen Wenxuan who is holding him, and then slowly relaxes, wrapping her arms around his neck and clinging tightly to him, glancing at the river and the boat under the moonlight, not knowing the situation: ". ...where are we going?"

"It's not far away. We'll be there as soon as you sleep. Go to sleep." Shen Wenxuan lowered his head and kissed his forehead, stepped onto the deck and sat in the cabin.

The boatman picked up the long pole, and the boat left the shore and drifted far away along the river.

When it was just dawn the next day, there was a terrified scream on the palace road, and the maid who got up early to clean looked at the two dead bodies that had been pierced by arrows in the chest, and fell limp on the ground in panic. step back.

"Come here! Someone is dead! Come here! Someone is dead!"

One of the two corpses spoke of Ge Wucheng. When Zhao Er rushed here, he saw the blood lotus picture all over the ground, like paper money scattered randomly, with a ghostly air, and in front of the two corpses Lying there was the Qiang King Fan who had been dismembered by five horses. It stands to reason that the body of Fan Wang who was executed just yesterday had already been thrown to the mass grave, so it is impossible to appear here.

On the contrary, the six parts of the body were completely put together on the palace road, together with the pictures of blood lotuses all over the floor and the two people who were killed, Yan Qi and Ge Wucheng, it seemed that some people were demonstrating and avenging the dead Fan Wang of the Qiang nationality.

If it was said that yesterday he was half-believing in the relationship between the blood lotus forces and the Qiang people, now Emperor Chongxin is completely convinced.

"Your Majesty," Zhao Er knelt down, "Those strange thieves can openly kill people in the palace, I'm afraid they can't stay here, I beg the emperor to return to the palace immediately."

Emperor Chongxin glanced at Zhao Er and then looked at the house full of people and remained silent for a long time. The events that happened one after another in this short day and night were more shocking than that night. He had to wonder who the people around him were. It was really believable, those two faces, waiting for an opportunity in the dark, ready to bite him at any time.

who is it?for what?What does he want here?

"Your Majesty?" After a long while, Emperor Chongxin couldn't get an answer, so Zhao Er called out to him in doubt.

Emperor Chongxin looked down, looked at him fixedly, and said, "Zhao Er, you said you can't stay here, but is it safe in the palace?"

Zhao Er: "Don't worry, your majesty, there are [-] imperial guards guarding the palace, and there are no gaps in the gates, palaces, and courtyards. There are also [-] patrol battalions outside the palace. There is no place in the world that is safer than the palace."

"What's the use of soldiers only? What's really scary is the court, the power, the life-and-death, endless struggle. The soldiers don't see blood, and they kill people invisible." Emperor Chongxin's eyes were calm, but the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Zhao Er, Yan Qi is dead, I appoint you as the admiral of the Nine Gates, find Shen Wenxuan, and protect the palace, otherwise—" Emperor Chongxin bent slightly to approach Zhao Er who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a lower voice, "You Your life is as cheap as you say, and if I let it go, I will go."

Zhao Er was forced to look directly into the emperor's cloudy and imposing eyes, and when he finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head and said yes in a low voice.

"Go down and call Qi Lian." Emperor Chongxin straightened up and said, suppressed coughing twice, Jin Zhong hurriedly patted him on the back.

Qi Lian entered the door, passed Zhao Er who was going out, bowed and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongxin: "The first time the blood lotus appeared was on New Year's Eve, when the whole city was shaken. At that time, I had more important things to do, so I put it on hold for the time being, and only handed it over to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. Afterwards, Xuelian killed Master Fu Xiaohou, who was my favorite nephew, and the pain was nothing more than that, so I handed Xuelian over to you, and asked you to investigate thoroughly, but you found nothing useful!"

Qi Lian felt cold all over, his Adam's apple rolled and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his palms were sweating from nervousness.

"Nowadays, it is getting more and more rampant, hurting the prince and killing ministers, what is the difference between this and rebellion?! And you, Qi Lian, are still standing here, and you can only rely on the Qiang to show your feet. What use is there for you!"

Qi Lian slammed his forehead on the ground with a "bang": "This minister is incompetent, and I deserve death for my crimes!"

He yelled too fiercely just now, Emperor Chongxin held his chest and coughed in pain, his lips turned blue, Jinzhong hurriedly took the medicine bowl from the eunuch's tray behind him, trying to persuade the emperor to take a few sips, but Chongxin The emperor waved him away and said:

"I'll give you one more chance. The whole city has a curfew. You lead people to search the capital one by one. Anyone who is suspicious will be arrested. I would rather kill you than let him go. You have ten days to catch the leader of the blood lotus. Otherwise, I will punish you." You are from the Nine Clans."

With a slight tremor of his fingers, Qi Lian stared at the ground and his eyes slowly turned red, like he was suddenly placed in the nine layers of hell under the abyss, the cold penetrated into his bones, but he raised his head to look at the eyes of Emperor Chongxin, knowing that he was not With no choice, he leaned over with his back stiff and said: "...I obey the order."

Walking out of the palace door with weak hands and feet, he saw that Zhao Er was still standing in front of the steps and did not leave. Hearing him coming out, Zhao Er turned around and smiled at him: "Master Qi, there is something about Mr. If you are most interested, can you take a step to speak."

At the hour of Chen, the people in the palace set off, and the spring hunt ended after only one day of hunting. Emperor Chongxin and the second prince rode in the same carriage, and he wanted to personally watch the second son return to the palace.

Zhao Er ordered the two hanging corpses to be lowered and carried away together on a stretcher. After all, the two of them were not felonies, so they could be sent home to erect a monument and build a tomb instead of being thrown into a mass grave.

Fortunately, on the surface, he has been looking for someone in the forest, otherwise, if he spread this matter, he would probably only be torn apart like Yan Qi. Zhao Er laughed, and immediately smoothed the corners of his mouth, pretending to be sincere before Yan Qi's corpse Try to cry a drop of tears, pretending.

I have to say that it really looks like it, even the scars on the face are the same. It is worthy of being the face-changer that the young master found for the young master. The technique is excellent, but the makeup is not waterproof. Zhao Er glanced at the clouds in the sky, and took the white cloth between the two Covered from head to toe, ordered: "Take it away."

Guard: "Yes."

A hidden pier was empty, and Shen Wenxuan pulled Ajiao off the boat. Originally, the pier along the coast had been guarded by guards, but Zhao Er deliberately missed one and left it for Shen Wenxuan to go ashore.

Jiao Shihan also changed into a dark green gown, and both of them wore a veiled hat to hide their faces. They walked in this wilderness with lush vegetation, leisurely as a couple.

"Where is this?" Jiao Shihan asked, holding his hand and shaking it gently, like a child walking together.

Shen Wenxuan laughed and went with him: "Huping Town, this is in the suburbs, and you will reach the town after a short walk. Are you hungry? Let's go have breakfast."

Jiao Shihan moved a step to the left and stuck to his arm, and asked awkwardly, "Are we going to stay here for a few days?"

"Well, probably, what? You don't like it? We can go to other places if we don't like it."

"No, no," Jiao Shihan couldn't help but give him a hug, the joy in his eyes almost overflowed, "Are you not busy anymore?"

Feeling the entanglement on his arms, Shen Wenxuan suddenly understood his thoughts, turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "Well, I'm not busy, I'll stay with you, and I'll take you wherever you want."

"Those who want to find you—"

"With Wang Muze on top, don't think too much, the capital will not collapse without me."

Jiao Shihan's joy blossomed, and her pace quickened: "Then let's go!"

Shen Wenxuan was pulled by him, feeling very comfortable, teasingly said: "Slow down, my husband is so useless now, I can't run."

"Are you tired? I can carry you on my back."

"It's a joke, it's about the same for me to carry you."

When we arrived in the town, there were not many street vendors who got up early, but it was still lively. The number of people on the street gradually increased. This place belongs to the vicinity of the capital, and the overall situation is relatively rich.

"Ah Xuan, what do you want to eat?" Jiao Shihan asked, looking at each stall with great interest, untied Shen Wenxuan's money bag, and took out two cents from it to buy two buns first.

"It's hot, hot, don't take it." Shen Wenxuan took the oil paper wrapped with two buns first, Jiao Shihan laughed, and took his hand to walk from the street to the end of the street, buying some pastries, pies, and fried dough sticks.

They couldn't finish eating, Shen Wenxuan saw that he was like a child shopping for the first time, smiled and let him go, only responsible for carrying things.

When he noticed the notice posted on the notice wall, there was a picture of missing people that looked a bit like him. The smile on the corner of Shen Wenxuan's mouth slowly sank, and after a few glances, his eyes slid across the people on the street one by one.

Since he settled down in Huping Town, it is impossible for Zhao Er to find someone to find him here. It seems that not only the emperor, but also the empress, the prime minister and even the empress dowager are all anxious to find him.

Shen Wenxuan grabbed Ajiao and sat down at the wonton stall in the street shed, put down the things in his hands and said: "Wait for me here, I'll go shopping, don't run around."

Jiao Shihan nodded, watching his back exiting the wonton stall until he was out of sight, the corners of his mouth twitched a little in doubt.

"Boss, cook two bowls of wontons first." He said, opening the food he bought, he glanced at the person hiding behind a corner of the wonton stand... kid?

Shen Wenxuan tore off the notice and hid in the alley, followed by some people slowly, when Shen Wenxuan stopped, those people also stopped, turned around and met the follower's eyes.

"Lord Shen, don't do anything." The man in the lead cupped his hands, his whole body was different from normal, as if he had been experienced on the battlefield.

When they followed in, they already felt that many people were hiding on the eaves on both sides of the alley, but they had no intention of conflicting with Shen Wenxuan.

"My lord, we are all subordinates of Lord Zhen Guo, and we have only pursued this point to confirm the safety of my young master, and we have no other intentions."

Shen Wenxuan sized him up, his eyes undiminished: "How did you find this place?"

"Although the cave where your lord is hiding is hidden, it is not difficult to find. There are still some clothes left in it." The man pulled out the leftover dog behind him. The notice was posted deliberately to attract the attention of the adults, lest we be abrupt and cause the adults to misunderstand."

......grass!This loser's thing!

Shen Wenxuan squinted at Gousheng's fluffy dog ​​face and was speechless. Who would have thought that one day Gousheng could be used like this, beckoning it over, and slapping it on the head: "They are hunting your father, you You really lead the way, you son of a bitch!"

Gousheng groaned aggrievedly, but he didn't know that he smelled blood in that cave, and thought something was wrong, so he searched for it overnight, and was beaten when he found it. Gousheng had a fierce face Unconvinced, she threw herself on him, stood upright, put two dog paws on his shoulders, barked "Wow", "Wow" several times and sprayed him with foam.

"Okay, okay, stop, I'll give you two slaps." Shen Wenxuan had no choice but to take it off, and shook the water inside it by hooping its head.

"You guys have already seen that he is very good by my side, you can go back, just this time, don't bother me again, otherwise I won't be so polite next time." Shen Wenxuan said, pulling up the leftover dog leash and to leave.

"Master Shen," the man called out, "my father-in-law is worried about the young master, how about letting us secretly protect the young master and the young master back to Ning Mansion?"

Shen Wenxuan's footsteps did not stop for a moment, the meaning of which is self-evident.

The man: "If you don't go back to Ning Mansion, why don't you let us have a close look? We are all agile and will never be an eyesore in front of adults."

Shen Wenxuan: "If you have the time and energy, why not restrain the queen and the prime minister, and tell the queen mother to keep the imperial decree safe."

imperial decree?The man was puzzled for a moment. Seeing that he was going far away and was about to leave the alley, he just wanted to catch up with him when he heard the sound of swords being unsheathed on the eaves around him. The threat was very strong, and it seemed that they would strike if they took another step.

Helpless, the man paused, watched him leave, and led the people out of the encirclement cautiously.

Jiao Shihan stared at that place with her head tilted, and waved her hands tentatively. It was a child who came out, dirty, and the clothes on her body didn't fit well.

The child buckled the corner of his clothes with his fingers in a daze, and kept looking at the food on the table. Jiao Shihan paused, smiled, tried to make himself look kinder, sighed slightly in his heart, got up and took the oiled paper bag on the table When he was about to walk over, the owner of the wonton stall kept watching him from the corner of his eye. Seeing that he was really up, he quickly walked over and snatched the things from his hand:

"Guest officer, I'll be fine. I'll be fine. You sit down and the wonton will be ready in no time. You don't have to worry about it."

Jiao Shihan was surprised for a moment, when he saw him carrying the paper bag, a lot of beggars came out from behind, scrambling to get the food in his arms.

"Stand up, don't grab randomly, everyone has a share, stand up." The boss roared, opening the oiled paper bags and giving them one by one. There are not many things, and they will be gone soon. There are still many children who haven't eaten. , Jiao Shihan tried to get up again——

"No, no, no," the wonton stall owner hurriedly stopped, "I'll go buy it, I'll go buy it, I don't need you to move—"

"Okay, remember to buy more." Jiao Shihan said with a smile, and sat back obediently, and she knew what she saw in her eyes.

What did he say that Ah Xuan wanted to sit here with him, Jiao Shihan raised his brows, he dared to believe that this person belonged to the Shen family.

"Let them come in and eat wontons, boss, you don't have to bother going out."

The boss smiled awkwardly: "Hey, you don't have to come in now, the local Xiaosheng can't accommodate so many people, so let's eat outside."

Shen Wenxuan bought a basket in front of a stall, bought some fresh vegetables and an old hen, and put them in. When he returned, he saw that the wonton stall was full of people, eating wontons while standing or squatting with bowls in their hands.

Shen Wenxuan: "..."

At first he thought that something had happened, he led the dog and broke through the crowd to go in and saw Jiao Shihan sitting quietly on the chair, pouting slightly blowing on the wontons in the spoon, maybe he was making a lot of noise here, Jiao Shihan looked over , saw the dog left behind him at a glance, and said in surprise: "Tuantuan? Why did it run out?"

"...was brought out by others, this silly dog ​​was sold and can help count the money." Shen Wenxuan said, heaving a sigh of relief, and looked back at the crowd behind him, perhaps because of the look in his eyes. Terrified, those people took a step back holding the bowl, but they were not willing to get too far away from the food, they huddled together and looked at him tremblingly.

Shen Wenxuan lowered his gaze and stared at the owner of the wonton stall for a few breaths, then turned around and walked to the seat next to A Jiao to sit down.

The boss shrank his neck and put the freshly made wontons in front of him before going down, hiding behind the stove while wrapping and cooking the wontons.

"Cook a bowl for it too." Shen Wenxuan said, his eyes signaled Gou Sheng, and the silly dog ​​stared at the things in A Jiao's bowl, drooling.

Jiao Shihan saw that it was greedy, so she put the cooled one in the spoon and put it in an empty tea bowl to let him taste one, the dog's left tongue curled up, and it disappeared without chewing.

Shen Wenxuan pinched the flesh of his cheek: "You paid someone to eat wontons? I don't worry if your husband has enough money."

"Why do I have to pay for my family's food?" Jiao Shihan said, blinking his eyes to signal him to stop pretending, he already knew it because he was so smart.

Shen Wenxuan coughed lightly and withdrew his hand, and glanced at the boss from the corner of his eyes as he ate the wontons. He really could leak everything.

"But this is just a small town. Why are there so many beggars? Just now a child thanked me. He spoke with a strong Beijing accent. He was very obedient and sensible. I didn't look like a beggar at all. Son." Jiao Shihan doubted, looked at the people outside and sighed, the people living under the emperor's feet were the same as the refugees he saw in the southwest.

No job, no land and no home, what else can you do besides being a beggar?They were ordinary people before, but they lost everything overnight or over the years. The large number of people here may be because the group who were driven out of the capital survived. Now there are no beggars in the capital.

Shen Wenxuan didn't say this, but instead said: "There is a Shen family's business in the town, let them set up a porridge shed at the door."

It was both a consolation and an order to the owner of the wonton stall. He glanced at the half bowl he had left, scooped up one and handed it to his mouth, coaxing: "Eat it quickly, if you don't eat it, it will be cold."

Jiao Shihan obediently opened her mouth to swallow it, and one side of her cheek immediately swelled up, like a hamster who swallowed a peanut.

When leaving, it started to rain, Shen Wenxuan took the umbrella handed over by the owner of the wonton stall, Jiao Shihan asked for another one, Shen Wenxuan thought he wanted to hold an umbrella by himself, and was startled, but in the end it was still the same He propped them up together, and the other propped up to block Gou Sheng's head.

Shen Wenxuan saw that he was carefully adjusting the position so that he would not get wet by himself or the leftover dog, and felt so cute for no reason. He looked back at the wonton stand, and saw that the beggars had been allowed to hide in the shed of the wonton stand to hide from the rain. Jiao Shihan also looked back, and when she looked back, she raised the corners of her mouth and smiled at Shen Wenxuan's gaze, like a small orange sunflower, dazzling and warm.

He suddenly felt that he deserved to owe him a prosperous life.

Shen Wenxuan tightened the hand hanging by his side, interlocking his fingers.

Jiao Shihan: "Where are we going?"

Shen Wenxuan: "Go back to the place where we went ashore. There is a small farmyard there. I have an old hen in my back basket. Go back and make chicken soup for you to drink."

Jiao Shihan looked at his profile with a smile, her heart was as soft as water, she leaned her head on his shoulder and walked with him.

The sedan chair stopped, and the Empress Dowager got off the chariot. What she arrived was not the Changxin Palace, but the Empress's Zhongcui Palace. At this time, the Empress also just got off the chariot. She came here at the same time as her, and it was obviously aimed at her. .

The queen is in a bad mood, seeing the aggressiveness of this old hag, she has to be patient.
