Chapter 23

Lian Rong walked through a road that was not spacious. There were rooms in this boat, two rows on the left and right, ten rooms each, not spacious, but passable. One room can accommodate seven or eight people, and a boat can accommodate a hundred people. It is not a problem for people to come. There is a kitchen at the stern, and there are a few majestic cooks. They cook vegetables and serve them in large iron pots.

Lianrong went over to greet them and reported what Zuo Mingyuan wanted to eat tonight, "Make a bowl of fish soup for Your Highness, and if there are still ingredients, I will bring some cakes. She hasn't eaten much these days. Wait a minute." It's done, I'll bring it over."

The rice and noodles here are very important, and those who can eat are noble people.

The cook agreed, and Lianrong went.It's just that when she was going, she met a eunuch dressed as a waiter on the road. The eunuch's eyebrows and eyes were strange, and Lian Rong didn't take it seriously, thinking that it might be the person seeing him off, so she walked over.

The 'eunuch' walked a few steps forward, but stopped and turned around, then suddenly turned back and went to another room. He was busy.When he came to a room, he closed the door, "It's time to do something!" These are the dark guards sent by Zuo Mingzhi, who have been mixing with the eunuchs, waiting for the opportunity to attack, and the next step is the 'Troublesome Sea Area' Well, if something happens to Zuo Mingyuan, it can't be blamed either on Daughter's Country or Da Zuo. This is a place where no murderer can be found. Pirates are so frequent that wind and waves may sweep Zuo Mingyuan away.

This is a good time, don't miss it, never miss it.Everyone discussed how to do it, so as not to make too much noise, so as not to be noticed by the people of the Daughter Kingdom, or by the maids around the Nine Sage King, everything should be natural.

Everyone discussed and discussed, and finally decided to prescribe the medicine, which is non-toxic, tasteless, and not easy to detect. It really is the bottom of the rivers and lakes-Mongolian medicine is the most suitable.

"Mix it with His Highness's food, and when it's almost dawn, we can play it by ear. Whether it's killing His Highness, pushing him into the sea, or even going to the toilet, we can't blame anyone."

They had already discussed and decided to split up. A few people diverted the attention of the cooks, and someone took the opportunity to put a small bag of sweat medicine into the fish soup that Zuo Mingyuan wanted to drink. After finishing, everyone winked and found someone Reason left.

The cooks continued to cook, "What are these people doing here? They crowded the kitchen and disturbed our work. If everyone's dinner is not well done, the higher-ups will blame us. Some of us will bear it. Fortunately, we are going home soon. .”

The cooks began to miss home. Of course Dazuo is interesting. I saw all kinds of men, and even saw them—not men, not women. I really don’t know why Dazuo people have these monsters. People have other tastes are not sure.

When the cooks talked about this section, they laughed very ambiguously and joyfully, as if they had spied on other people's secrets, and they kept it in their minds for endless aftertaste.

The cooks made the fish soup and were about to send someone to bring it. Unfortunately, the lotus paste came. She was wondering if the dinner should be ready, so she came to have a look, but it happened to be just in time.

"Miss Lianrong, this is His Highness's fish soup meal, yours will be available later."

"Thank you! Thank you for your hard work!" The lotus paste was served on a vermilion lacquer tray, with a bowl of fish soup made of white porcelain on top, and a medium-sized cup next to it, with a few pancakes in it, which was too much to eat at sea Too particular, Lianrong carried it back to the room and advised Zuo Mingyuan to use it more. "Your Highness hasn't eaten for a long time. You can't eat fish, and you don't like it. You save it for your servants. But this soup, look at the thick layer of fat floating on it. Make up for it a little."

Lianrong said, she swallowed a lot of saliva, she was so greedy, even the master couldn't eat it well, let alone these girls, the sea fish every day, the fishy smell in the mouth, no matter how much you like to eat, you will feel nauseous. She was thinking about Zuo Mingyuan's cakes and wanted to change the taste, but supplies were tight.

Zuo Mingyuan smiled and said, "Thank you very much." She opened the cup, and gave two pieces of cake to Lianrong and Siyun, "I can't eat so much, throwing it away is a waste of money, why don't you eat two pieces for me .”

The words were so polite, Lianrong's tears were low, and when she was told, the tears rolled in her eyes. "Your Highness!" She rushed over and hugged Zuo Mingyuan tightly.

"Let go, let go, I'm almost suffocated."

Lian Rong hastily let go, "It's you, you said something that pokes the servant girl's tears, I hate it to death, you can't eat this cake, don't tell anyone that we ate your ration." Lian Rong stretched out her hand After accepting it, I gave one to Si Yun, but Si Yun refused to take it, Lian Rong advised her, "Eat it, if you don't eat it, it will ruin his kindness, and you think we despise it, don't you Your Highness?"

What else can Zuo Mingyuan say, it's clear that she won't object.She had no choice but to say: "Yes, what Lianrong said is absolutely true."

Lian Rong said to Si Yun: "Look, I knew that Your Highness is the best, the worst thing is to eat, just serve her well, if you don't have the strength to protect her, if you think about it, you will know that we are not eating her for nothing Yes." In short, Zuo Mingyuan couldn't go back on his word.The mouths of these little girls are very obedient, and she is not allowed to object in the slightest. They put high hats on their heads, even if they really want to go back on their word, they can't.

Zuo Mingyuan finished eating, Lian Rong and Si Yun ate up the rest, and filled up some more, and finally hiccupped, and said they would go to bed early after eating. "Your Highness will enter troubled waters tomorrow, you should rest early and recharge your spirits."

"Okay, I will, you guys go to rest too."

Lianrong and Siyun don't live with Zuo Mingyuan. They know what's going on, but they don't look like it to outsiders. If there is something to be caught by others, it will be good. It will be passed on to the king's ears in the future , that is ten thousand deaths are too light.

Lianrong closed the door for Zuo Mingyuan, and led Siyun back to their room.

Let's just say that this night, the waves rolled over and were already coming. Zuo Mingyuan heard some "clang clatter" sounds in his ears, and the waves kept hitting the hull of the ship.Zuo Mingyuan opened his eyes and thought about something, but before he started to turn his head, he felt a little heavy, his eyelids fought, blinked a few times, and fell asleep.

In the rest of the rooms, everyone lit the lamps and chatted. The moonlight gradually moved, and the time was getting late. Everyone turned off the lights and went to sleep. Only the rowers and the helmsman were still awake. Patrol and nobody else.

But he said that the door of a room opened, and a few shadows emerged from the darkness.They bowed their heads, hid in the shadows, and went straight to Zuo Mingyuan's room, whispering, "Are you all asleep?"

"They should all be asleep, but wait a minute, those on patrol are still alive, we will act before dawn, when people are most likely to sleep to death, and the weather is so dark that people get up in a daze to go to the toilet or something Most likely, it would be best if the virtuous king can get up by himself, we just need to push hard, and he will 'stumble and fall into the sea'." Neither of them need to bear too much responsibility, even if one day His Majesty says "siblings" Feelings' pursued, they also have rhetoric.

Everyone had thoughtful plans and ambushed near Zuo Mingyuan's room. If Zuo Mingyuan didn't get up by then, they also had countermeasures to throw her into the sea.

On the deck, the female soldiers hold on to the navigation lights to illuminate the other ships sailing in the sea to avoid collisions with each other.Unexpectedly, this glass-covered navigation light was captured by another ship not far away, and several signals were sent to communicate with each other.

After the ship received the signal, it hurriedly reported to the higher levels, and went straight to Rongxiu, and she went to report to Nangong Wutian, who was standing outside the door, wondering whether she should notify Nangong Wutian immediately, she knew Nangong Wutian If the day is disturbed, her temper will be worse than the storm, but now the situation is urgent, so she is not allowed to think too much.

Rong Rong knocked on the door, "Your Majesty."

Nangong Wutian still hasn't slept, she always suffers from insomnia very badly at sea, seeing her in the sleeve calling her, said: "What's the matter?"

Seeing her reply in the sleeve, he was overjoyed, and said to himself: "Your Majesty didn't sleep, that's good!" He was also exempted from the fate of being punished later, "The soldiers came to report, and the mother of the country has returned to the country. The ship has signaled on both sides, and the distance is not far away, do you want to lean on it?"

"Come on!" Nangong Wutian regained her energy, did she finally find it, but it turned out to be here, she put on her clothes, "tell the boat to move forward quickly." She opened the door, with a smile on her mouth, wondering what she did today I couldn't fall asleep either. It turned out that the middle-aged woman came back. Could this be the heart-to-heart relationship between mother and daughter?She doesn't admit it!Who has any mother-daughter relationship with that middle-aged woman!

Nangong Wutian went up to the deck, and a gust of cold wind blew over, making her clothes rattle, Wang Qi was flying above her head, she raised her head, and looked at the sky, not even a single star.

The wind is blowing and the clouds are thick, and the sun cannot be seen.

Standing behind Nangong Wutian in Rong Xiuli, he folded his arms coldly, concerned about whether Nangong Wutian was cold or not.She thought to herself: "Don't freeze her, if she catches a cold, Wei Biyun will grab my braids again, will I be so easy to be fooled?"

Nangong Wutian replied: "If you are cold, go back to the cabin first, and the concubine has to watch the boat leaning up!" Rong Xiu said that he is not cold, so there is no reason why the king stands in the wind and the courtiers are lazy. Gritting her teeth, holding on like a flagpole, she also looks like she wants to see the emperor sooner. What kind of virtue is her rival in love, who dares to come to her daughter's country boldly.

The king's ship approached the opposite ship like an arrow, and the return ship on the opposite side also received the signal, and the soldiers hurried down to notify. "His Majesty's ship is coming, the ship is about to stop, everyone get up."

Nangong Mingxiu and Wei Ying were awakened by the noise, touched their foreheads, and shook their heads vigorously, "Why did Wutian come so soon? Prime Minister Wei, tell me, is she impatient to see King Xian? Guess it is, hehe." She did a good job as a matchmaker this time.Nangong Mingxiu was very proud, Wei Ying didn't take it seriously, maybe she came to settle accounts, but seeing Nangong Mingxiu so happy, she felt embarrassed to pour cold water on it.

Forget it, it’s okay to make some people happy, because the days ahead are bound to be tough.Nangong Mingxiu and Wei Ying got dressed, and went to call Zuo Mingyuan again, "Get up, Wise King, Wutian is here..." The two shouted for a long time, but there was no movement inside, Nangong Mingxiu said anxiously: "Nothing will happen. Right?" She was about to push the door in, but was stopped by Wei Ying.

"Princess must not, the king has come, it is important for you to avoid suspicion."

"Prime Minister Wei is now at a critical time. If King Xian can't think about it and hangs himself, how can I explain to Wutian and Emperor Dazuo?" She pushed the door hard, but it couldn't be pushed, "Why can't it be pushed?" But she didn't know what was hiding inside There are many hidden guards, they are about to act, so why not get up, if they don't block the door, where will they hide?Nangong Mingxiu pushed desperately, using all his strength to push, one side of his face changed color, "Prime Minister Wei, don't just stand there resting, give your hand quickly."

"Weichen will never be your accomplice."

"What do you mean, I mean Wei Ying, we have been friends for so many years, are your brains made of iron juice, and you don't know how to open your mind? Ah, ah, ah?" Nangong Mingxiu stretched out his index finger, wanting to poke Wei Ying's On the forehead, when Wei Ying saw the 'menacing approach', he immediately backed away knowingly.

Nangong Mingxiu ordered her, "Don't retreat!"

Well, don't retreat, wait to be poked!

The voice of the soldiers came in bursts, "Your Majesty is here, Your Majesty is here, Your Majesty is here..." The two looked at the direction of the sound in astonishment, and Nangong Wutian had already boarded the boat.

Asked: "Where are the mother of the country and Prime Minister Wei, why haven't they appeared yet?"

When Nangong Wutian asked, everyone knelt down and replied, "The princess and the prime minister may still be sleeping."

"Princess? Who came up with the fashionable title? That middle-aged woman's daughter-in-law era has long been a thing of the past! I'm ashamed to let you call it that. She is really getting more and more promising." The soldier complained coldly to the king. They dare not explain, they know that the king has always trampled the people under their feet, so let's pretend they didn't hear it. "Take my concubine to meet them."

"Yes." The soldiers led them down the cabin, and seeing Nangong Mingxiu and Wei Ying still pushing and shouting, Nangong Wutian couldn't help but sneer.

"Don't shirk your responsibilities, I will greet you well, what about the emperor?" Even now she hasn't come out to kowtow to meet her, so why should she come to see her in person? , Tired of living.

Nangong Mingxiu and Wei Ying stood in a row like elementary school students, pointing at the door.

Nangong Wutian said: "He hasn't gotten up yet? How courageous." The door flew away with one kick, and the hidden guard behind the door was directly under the door. She lifted her foot and stepped on the door, and walked in , she wants to see what material the great left's imperial husband is made of, so that she is not afraid of death.

Before entering the bed, seeing that Zuo Mingyuan was still soundly asleep, he grasped the edge of the quilt with both hands, with a smile on his lips.She was dreaming that she was going to kindergarten, and the teacher was handing out apples, bread, and milk.
