The rosewood box was opened with the movement of Yinzhen's fingers. What was placed inside was only a small piece of cloth. The gray material had a character like "eight" printed on it. The edge of the cloth was uneven. It looked like it had been used by people.
Torn off raw.
This piece of material was found on Rong Yuan's body. He had been holding it tightly in his hand and was very nervous. At that time, it was obvious that he had lost all his memory. It was obvious that this piece of cloth was what he wanted to kill him.
What is ripped off a person's body may represent the other person's identity.
The only clue on this piece of cloth is the word. The "eight" is much shorter than when written normally, like part of a word. As for printing the word on clothes, Yinzhen first thought of military uniforms, but that night
, among the major armies in Beijing, except for the firearms battalion he mobilized, no troops were dispatched. What's more, dispatching the troops without an imperial decree was tantamount to rebellion. No one would dare to do this unless they were desperate.
Since the army did not move out without authorization, the only thing to do was to start with the military uniforms. Yinzhen ordered Longko to conduct a thorough inspection of all arms depots across the country. There were hundreds of arms depots across the country. It was extremely time-consuming to check them one by one. In addition, this matter
It was impossible to investigate clearly, so it took more than a month for Longkoduolong to find out that there was a problem with the Hangzhou arms depot.
Yinzhen pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said word by word: "Check! You must let me get to the bottom of this matter!" He had a hunch that there was a huge conspiracy hidden behind this matter, and Ling
If it is related, it is related to...the harem!
"Slave, I obey." Longkodo didn't know why Yinzhen was so concerned about the loss of his uniform, but since it was a sacred order, he would definitely try to find out. If it didn't work, he would go to Hangzhou himself.
The main hall soon returned to silence. Yinzhen walked down the steps and looked down at his tired face and lonely figure reflected in the flat and bright gold bricks. At this moment, he missed Ling Ruo extremely...
No matter how many women there are in the harem, his heart will always be lonely and empty!
If time could be turned back, he would not let her leave the palace and run alone to a dangerous state. He would tie her tightly to his side, whether he loves her or hates her. In short, from nineteen years ago, Niu Hu
Lu Lingruo is his Yinzhen, and he will not be allowed to escape from his side for the rest of his life.
Ling Ruo had no way of knowing what Yinzhen was thinking. She was struggling for her life at the moment. After getting rid of Liu Hu and his party, they secretly returned to Qingjiang Town through a remote road to find Xuan'er.
Ling Ruo guessed that Xuan'er had nowhere to go, so she must have returned to the long alley. Sure enough, she found Xuan'er huddled next to the broken wall in the long alley that had been burned to ruins. She had obviously cried, and the tip of her nose was red.
Holding his knees, he was like an abandoned stray dog, helpless and extremely pitiful.
Shi Sheng walked over and knelt down and said, "Xuan'er, I'm going to leave Qingjiang Town for a while, can you come with me?"
"Follow you?" In the darkness, Xuan'er glanced at him sarcastically, with an uncontrollable sneer on her lips, "Aren't you afraid that Miss Ling will be unhappy?" She didn't forget what Ling Ruo said just now that she wanted to separate.
At that time, Shi Sheng didn't say a word.
"No, Miss Ling is not that kind of person. As for just now..." Shi Sheng lowered his head. There were some things he couldn't say directly, so he could only say vaguely: "It's because something happened, so I said that. I won't say anything like that in the future."
Okay. Xuan'er, Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng are no longer here, can you let me take care of you from now on?"
Xuan'er looked at him, then at Ling Ruo who was standing not far away, her eyes flickering, not knowing what she was thinking. After a long time, she stood up and looked at Shi Sheng with an indifferent expression, "Okay, it's you.
You said you would take care of me for the rest of your life, remember, if you regret it in the future, I will never forgive you for the rest of your life!"
Shi Sheng felt happy and nodded quickly: "No, I will never regret it!"
Xuan'er was not as happy as he was. Her expression was as cold as before in the night breeze, and there was a hint of provocation in her eyes when she looked at Ling Ruo. She was unwilling, she was unwilling to lose to a man after ten years of love.
She was an old woman, so she decided to follow Shi Sheng. Of course, having nowhere to go was also the reason for Ling Yizhong.
After dawn, the three of them left Qingjiang Town. Along the way, Shi Sheng and Xuan'er looked back frequently. That was the place where they had lived since they were born. They already had deep feelings. Once they left their hometown, they would inevitably feel a lot of reluctance.
.
Standing at the fork of the official road outside the city, Ling Ruo struggled for a long time. One of the two roads was going to the capital, and the other was in the opposite direction.
She really wanted to go back to the capital, where she had everything she had, including Ama, E Niang, eldest brother... and Hongli, whom she longed for. But she couldn't. Yinzhen vowed to kill her, and she
Returning to Beijing is tantamount to surrendering, and there is nothing you can do except die in vain.
"Where do you want to go, or where are your relatives to take refuge?" Shi Sheng asked, as the morning sun rose from the clouds, casting a dazzling, hot light.
Ling Ruo thought for a long time and finally said: "Let's go to Shanxi. I've always wanted to go to Mount Wutai there."
In the past, when she was still in her boudoir, she heard a rumor circulating among the people that Emperor Shunzhi did not die, but was saddened by the death of Concubine Dong E and faked his death to become a monk in Mount Wutai.
She was very curious, was there really such a dedicated and devoted emperor in the world? He didn’t love the country but his beauty!
Emperor Shunzhi was only in his twenties when he became a monk, and it has been sixty-one years now. Even if he was not dead at that time, he has passed away and turned into loess now, but if he had stayed in Mount Wutai, some traces of him would be traceable.
In this way, the direction was decided, and the three of them walked all the way to Shanxi. For fear that the people who were being hunted would find their traces, they walked extremely carefully. Except for the official road when they first left the city, they walked on remote roads the rest of the time.
On the trails, people gnaw dry food when they are hungry, or pick wild fruits to satisfy their hunger. If possible, they try not to go to towns. Even if they occasionally go to buy dry food, they go there alone.
Xuan'er was puzzled by sleeping in the open and traveling hard like this. Shi Sheng explained that it was because he didn't bring enough silver, so he wanted to save some money. But this didn't make sense at all. Even if he didn't have money to stay in a hotel, the government didn't charge money, so why?
You should avoid official roads at all times, go on mountainous and wild roads, where you can easily encounter wild animals, and your speed is also slow, so you clearly have something to hide.
After that catastrophe, Xuan'er's temperament became much calmer, she was no longer as lively and outgoing as before, and she kept things more in mind.
After traveling like this for a month, we finally arrived at the Shanxi border at the end of June, but we were still three or four days away from Mount Wutai.
Along the way, they were careful and never encountered an attack. After discussion, the three of them decided to find an inn to take a rest after entering the city. The last time they stayed at an inn was six or seven days ago, and the weather was extremely hot.
I sweat a lot every day, and my body is already sticky and uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he was injured last time, or his health never recovered. On the second day after staying at the inn, Ling Ruo suddenly fell ill and began to feel chills, followed by high fever, fatigue, and no desire to eat.
