The official road was uneven. After the carriage started running rapidly, the whole carriage began to bump. Mu Lingxue held the side of the carriage with one hand and covered her stomach with one hand. She lost her child carelessly last time, but this time she felt uncomfortable.
Pay attention.
Jingpachi pulled open the curtain and held the driver's arm tightly with his hand, "Don't panic, just hold this and cover your mouth and nose."
As he retracted his hand, Jingpachi put a piece of cloth into the coachman's hand. It was just a handkerchief wet with tea. In such a critical situation, the coachman would not think twice about the use of it. He pulled it tightly with one hand.
Holding the reins, he held the handkerchief firmly in his hand with one hand, like a protective life-saving charm.
"If you are going to die, leave now." A few people on horseback soon surrounded the carriage and said to the coachman who was meeting outside.
The coachman got out of the carriage obediently and leaned on the carriage to slowly turn to one side without daring to move. Several people jumped out of the carriage and opened the carriage curtain with a sword, revealing the man sitting inside.
It's Mu Lingxue and Jingba.
Mu Lingxue looked at the few people coldly, "Who sent you? You have to make us understand even if you die."
The man in black standing in front laughed loudly, "Okay, if you can still be so calm even if you know you are going to die, I will tell you that it is the Jiangnan Zhao family that you have offended."
"Zhao family? Could it be the family of the richest man Zhao?" Kyopachi took over the words in surprise.
If we talk about the Zhao family in Jiangnan, the first thing that comes to mind is the richest man, the Zhao family. As far as he knows, the only one the princess can offend is the Zhao family. After all, the Zhao family wanted to marry the prime minister's family a while ago.
There was quite a fuss for a while, and it was not until the Prime Minister's wife returned to her parents' home with her son that the matter was settled. Could it be that the Zhao family was filled with hatred and blamed it on the princess?
When Mu Lingxue heard that he was the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River and his surname was Zhao, he sneered inwardly. It seemed that she had made a mistake and an enemy appeared halfway. Is she too bad? She recruited one for no reason.
The enemy was chasing her on the road, so he really took notice of her.
"Since you all understand, don't blame me for being ruthless. It is only natural to use people's money to eliminate disasters for others." The man in black waved his hand, and the other people all came to the carriage.
Mu Lingxue pulled Jingpachi behind her, "The person you want to kill is me, just let them two go."
He leaned out. The man in black didn't hesitate. He just seized the opportunity in an instant. Mu Lingxue raised her hand and spread out the things in her hand. A burst of fragrance instantly spread around. Mu Lingxue covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves.
, looking coldly at the man in black in front of him, the man in black shouted in a hurry and fell to the ground weakly.
It came with a fierce force, but it was resolved in an unexpectedly calm way.
Mu Lingxue jumped out of the carriage and saw the carriage driver paralyzed to the ground in fear. She smiled secretly and tentatively removed her hand from her nose. When the fragrance around her disappeared, she took her hand away.
"Tie these people to a big tree. If their lives are good, someone will save them. If they freeze to death here, God will punish them." Mu Lingxue ordered Jingpachi behind her, while pulling up the quilt.
The chopping carriage curtain was pulled down, "Use this to tie them up."
After the carriage driver and Jingba tied up everyone, an hour later, Mu Lingxue leaned in the carriage and became more determined to go to Jiangnan. If the Zhao family dared to attack her, then don't blame her for being rude.
Already.
After Jingpachi returned to the carriage, he asked the carriage driver to find a way and immediately entered the town. The carriage driver had been half-dead in the near miss and was frightened. Now he has calmed down, knowing that the most important thing now is to find a place to rest.
.
After the carriage started moving, Jingba whispered solemnly, "Master's whereabouts have been noticed all the time. It shows that the eldest lady of the Zhao family is not capable of doing this."
This is exactly what Mu Lingxue thought, "Since the Zhao family dares to take human life seriously, they should let them understand that some people are not easy to cause trouble, and money is not everything."
Jingpachi thought that the Zhao family would kill their master just because of a marriage. If the prince were present, he would be furious and make the Zhao family regret it for the rest of his life. However, since the master also had concerns in his heart, the Zhao family would not be able to get away easily.
Mu Lingxue was really offended. The Zhao family was too arrogant. If she couldn't do it, she would just blame others. Is human life really like an ant in their eyes?
If she hadn't been prepared, she might have died here today. Through this incident, she should really thank the Zhao family for letting her understand that some people can't become enemies unless you provoke them.
It was not until midnight that the carriage entered a small village. After all, it took the wrong road. When looking for someone to rest, the carriage driver was a little embarrassed and said that this was a small road to Jiangnan. Although he took the wrong road, he could still go to Jiangnan.
After almost losing his life, Mu Lingxue could not blame him for taking the wrong path. After a few words of comfort, the group rested.
Feng Guran, who had been chased from the capital, chased south along the official road. Tianzihei entered the town and asked around but found no news. Feng Guran looked stern and led his troops all the way.
Turning back, it was a pity that it was too dark and I couldn't see the traces on the road. Otherwise, I would have found the messy rut marks at a fork in the road.
He returned to Kyoto before dawn and didn't see anything wrong on the road. Feng Guran's lips tightened into a slit. He calculated the speed of the carriage and realized that the woman should have arrived in the town. If there was no one in the town, something must have happened.
"Take people to the south of the Yangtze River and inform me as soon as there is any news." Feng Guran dropped the words and rode into the city. "Even if we use secret guards, we must find the people."
Yun Qi had a serious look on his face. He had been protecting the prince for several years, but today the prince sent him to find the princess. If the queen knew about this, she didn't know what kind of things would happen, but the prince ignored all this and stayed all night long.
He kept searching for people, and he had never seen the prince like this in all these years.
After running around all night, they were about to hit the road again. Looking at Kyoto, they couldn't go in for a bite to eat. Thinking of their master's nature, Yun Qi sighed and continued on the road to the south.
In Prince Xian's mansion, Feng Guqiu had a cold face. Longhu knocked on the door and entered the study, "Sir, there is no news about Jingba at all. He is with the princess, so they must be safe."
Since Cui Hao came yesterday, the master has not left the study, and has not touched anything. Longhu couldn't help but become worried, "Master, let's use some food first."
Feng Guqiu seemed to have aged ten years overnight. It was rare for him to sigh in front of Longhu, "What did I do wrong?"
Yes, he knew that she would never forgive him for what he had done before, but couldn't he be given a chance to make up for it? When he went to the north to pick her up, he went into the palace to see his father and told him that he did not want the throne and only wanted to be with her.
His beloved woman stayed with him all his life, and his father gave him a slap in the face for this. Later, his father agreed. With such painstaking efforts, he gave up what he always wanted to have, and even forgot the hatred between the queen and the second child. She
Understand?
Longhu lowered his head, "As time goes by, the princess will definitely know my good intentions."
Thinking that the master gave up his great career for the sake of the princess, Longhu's eyes dimmed, but the master refused to tell the princess this. Otherwise, when the princess found out, she would not forgive the prince immediately, how could she understand that the prince was sincere.
If you think about it the way the princess thinks, she may mistakenly think that the prince has some purpose in bringing her back.
"Sir, I heard that someone who looked like a princess was riding a carriage out of the city. I sent people along the road to look for her." There are only two directions out of the city, one is north and the other is south.
It is impossible for the princess to return to the north, so she can only go to the south.
Feng Guqiu stood up and said, "Prepare your horse, I will go in person."
Longhu felt that there was one thing he had to say, "Sir, Prince Rui left the palace yesterday, went south, and returned to Kyoto in the morning."
Feng Guqiu paused as he walked out, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips, "There is no such thing as the best of both worlds. How can you have both beauty and country?"
Needless to say, Longhu also understood what he meant and strode out of the study after his master.
There was no peace in the two palaces, and even the health hall was closed today. Cui Hao sat in the hall with a cold face, while Qiangwei stood aside cautiously, but did not dare to ask any more questions.
After Cui Hao came back from Prince Xian's Mansion last night, he didn't say a word to Qiangwei. Qiangwei also knew that she had done something wrong, but she felt aggrieved in her heart. She didn't do it all for him. He didn't feel grateful for her.
Okay, but I still blame her.
"You return the banknote that Cui Ying sent back, and tell her to stop thinking about it in the future. Otherwise, she and I won't be able to become siblings, and everything will be up to her." Cui Hao looked at his wife with disappointment.
Qiangwei bit her lip, knowing that if she didn't open up the gap between the two people, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to talk about it in the future, "Husband, I know you are blaming me. I was also confused at that time, so I did that.
When stupid things happen, the master blames me and blames me. I have no complaints and I dare not feel wronged. I am sorry for the master, and even more sorry for Shuizhu."
At the end of the story, Qiangwei suddenly realized what she had done. She had no brains. How could she be so selfish and hurt those who regarded her as her family members?
Cui Hao was confused, "I'm sorry Shuizhu?"
Qiangwei burst into tears, but she still told her the letter and its contents. After hearing this, Cui Hao looked at her coldly, "Why are you so confused? This is an unconscionable thing. Cui Ying even did things that harmed people's lives."
Come out, in your eyes, am I the kind of person who doesn't even distinguish between good and bad for the sake of family ties? No wonder the master will be disappointed in you, Qiangwei, you have disappointed me too much."
"Husband, I know I was wrong." Qiangwei covered her face and cried.
Cui Hao shook his head. He needed someone to calm down, and his heart that wanted to come forward to comfort him also became cold. He stood up and strode away, leaving Qiangwei alone who was crying bitterly.
