Chapter two hundred and seventy-fifth first comers
Jing Kui was assassinated, Li Jingyan died shortly after being imprisoned, and Jing Wenxi Yunshang was also handed over to Emperor Ning, and no further questions were asked. In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of April.
On the eighth day of April, the weather was a bit gloomy, but it was a suitable day for farewell. Yun Shang lowered her head and looked at the plum blossoms embroidered on her skirt, thinking to herself.
Xia Huanyu and Prince Jing went to the palace to say goodbye to Emperor Ning. However, she was a female dependent and could not enter the palace on such an occasion. At this time, she could only wait outside the imperial city for the return of Xia Huanyu and Prince Jing.
, you can start your journey.
Qianyin and Yun Shang were riding in the same carriage. She stuck her head out of the carriage window and looked out, her voice a little disappointed, "Princess, did something happen in the palace? Why didn't Concubine Jin come?"
Yun Shang glanced at Qianyin's face lightly and said softly, "Don't look at it, my concubine won't come. I didn't tell my concubine that I'm leaving the imperial city today."
Qianyin turned her head suddenly, almost knocking her down against the wall of the car. She quickly stretched her head back and looked at Yun Chang with wide eyes, "The princess didn't tell the noble concubine? Why?"
Yun Shang lowered her eyes, "For no reason, I'm most afraid of separation. If my mother-in-law cries, I'm afraid I will regret it."
It seemed that there was a voice coming from outside. Qianyin glared at Yunshang, stretched her head out again, looked at it for a while, and then said excitedly, "Princess, it's the prince who is back." Then, the voice was stained a little bit more.
Very lonely, "Why did the prince come back so soon?"
Yun Shang closed her eyes, without a trace of smile on her lips, she just said lightly, "What difference does it make whether it's morning or evening?"
There seemed to be the sound of horse hooves approaching the carriage Yun Shang was riding in. Qianyin quickly pulled Yun Shang's arm, "The prince is here." After saying that, he pulled Yun Shang to the window and opened the curtain covering the window.
Let people from outside see in.
"Chang'er, the emperor asked me to deliver this letter to you." Jing Dynasty looked inside the carriage and handed over a letter. Yun Chang was silent for a moment before taking the letter, and then smiled at him.
Prince Jing said, "Okay, thank you, Your Majesty..." However, he felt that it was a bit inappropriate to call him "Your Majesty", so he paused and did not say any more.
"Let's set off!" A shout came from outside, and gradually passed from the front of the team, one square to the other, until it reached the end. Not long after, the carriage began to move. Yun Shang leaned against the carriage.
On the wall of the car, her hand slightly clenched the envelope, and her heart ached. Ningguo, the place that gave birth to her and raised her, and carried many of her joys and pains, was about to say goodbye.
"Shang'er." There seemed to be a faintly anxious voice coming from behind. Yun Chang's heart tightened suddenly, and Prince Jing's voice came in from outside, "Concubine Jin is here, you'd better go see Chang'er."
Meet her."
Yun Shang was silent for a moment, closed her eyes, and there was no response for a while. Prince Jing said with a bit of anxiety, "Concubine Jin is riding a horse, but she seems to be riding unsteadily. I almost fell off the horse when I looked at her.
coming."
Yun Shang suddenly opened her eyes, pushed aside Qian Yin who had been occupying the window and looked back, but couldn't see anything, so she raised her eyes to Prince Jing and said, "Your Majesty, let me lend you your horse."
Then he pushed open the door of the carriage, jumped out, then quickly got on Prince Jing's horse, tightened the reins, turned the horse around, and ran back.
The woman's figure became clearer and clearer. Yun Shang stopped in front of her, grabbed her horse's bridle, frowned and looked at the woman whose bun was slightly disheveled, and said with a frown, "Mother.
Concubine, do you want to die? You can’t ride a horse yet you ride so fast.”
Concubine Jin's eyes turned red when she heard this, but she kept restraining her tears. After a long while, she slowly opened her mouth, her lips trembled a little, and it took a long while to say the complete words, "
I'm just afraid that I won't be able to see you if it's too late."
Yun Shang wanted to say, no matter what I was afraid of, I would always come back. But she didn't say it for a long time, but Concubine Jin's smile became wider, "Shang'er, you must be happy. If you are bullied in Xia Kingdom,
Then come back, my concubine will be able to protect you no matter what."
Yun Shang nodded and smiled slightly, but this smile made her realize how difficult it is to laugh.
"Have a baby as soon as possible, otherwise you will definitely be lonely in Xia Kingdom." Concubine Jin ordered softly.
"Okay." Yun Shang only dared to say "yes", fearing that if she said another word, she would burst into tears.
Concubine Jin started to laugh and said, "Okay, my mother-in-law is going back. You should go back too, lest they go too far and you can't catch up." After saying that, she took the reins of the horse and turned around to walk towards the city gate step by step.
Go.
Yun Shang stood there, looking at Concubine Jin's back, crying.
"Shang'er, let's go." A faint voice came from behind. Yun Chang raised his hand, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned around, arched his eyebrows and said, "Okay. Let's go..." After saying that, he rode
She rode her horse and walked step by step towards the man who was standing not far away waiting for her, thinking in her heart that he was the only one left.
Prince Jing walked to Yun Shang's side, got on his horse, put his arms around Yun Shang's body, and said softly, "Shang'er, thank you."
Yun Shang returned to the carriage and slowly opened the letter that was already crumpled in her hands. She took out the paper and saw two words written at the beginning: Secret Purpose.
Yun Shang was stunned and quickly finished reading the secret edict, but couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face again. He read it again and found that the handwriting was indeed his father's handwriting, and the seal on it was also
It is indeed my father's jade seal and his father's small seal. It can never be a forgery.
"Princess, what's wrong?" Qian Yin looked at Yun Shang and became silent. Her face seemed to be a little strange, so she quickly asked.
Yun Shang came back to her senses and said calmly, "Nothing." Then she folded the letter carefully and put it in her sleeve.
But her heart was still filled with waves. The secret decree actually said that the throne would be passed on to Chen Xi. Her father actually handed such a secret decree into her hands. Was it just to reassure her? Or was he guarding against something?
Because she had just experienced separation and the secret edict from Emperor Ning disturbed her mind, Yun Shang was not in good spirits along the way and looked a little worried. When she was approaching Jincheng, the imperial city of Xia Kingdom, she fell ill.
fall down.
Looking at Yun Shang's appearance, King Jing was worried, so he simply abandoned the horse, sat in the carriage, and took care of him every day. This move attracted the attention of many people in the motorcade, and Emperor Ning reprimanded him several times, saying bluntly:
How could a man behave like this for a woman? Liu Yinfeng visited Yun Shang several times. Seeing that she had a severe fever, her face was flushed, and she looked a little weak, she was a little worried, so she hurriedly found someone to go back first.
After going to Jincheng, he invited a doctor to come over and take a look. After taking medicine for five or six days, he felt a little better. Although he was still not in good spirits, it was not as serious as the previous two days. Prince Jing and Liu
Yinfeng felt a little more relieved.
It was already May 14th when a group of people entered Jincheng. After entering Jincheng and entering the palace, everyone got off the carriage. Queen Su Ruji had already brought the women above the imperial concubine and the civil and military officials to the palace on Changle Avenue.
After waiting at the end, Xia Huanyu got off the carriage and slowly walked over with everyone. The queen and all the civil and military officials saluted Xia Huanyu, "Your Majesty, may you be blessed and safe."
Xia Huanyu walked up to the queen and stretched out his hand to help her up. He said calmly, "I have been away from the palace these days. Thank you for your hard work, queen."
The queen smiled solemnly, stood up, and said softly, "Your Majesty's words are serious." However, her eyes lightly swept towards the people behind Xia Huanyu, paused for a moment on Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang, and then moved away lightly.
, "Your Majesty must be very tired after running around for several days. Why don't you go back to Changle Palace to freshen up and rest. Tonight, I have prepared a palace banquet for Your Majesty."
Xia Huanyu pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Okay." After saying that, he turned around and pointed at Luo Qingyan and said to the Queen, "This is Queen Hua's child, calling Qingyan. Previously, I
Let Liu Wen'an draw up a decree and call him Prince Rui. Qingyan first arrived in Jincheng and didn't have his own mansion yet. The prince died before and now the prince's mansion is idle, so he changed the name to Prince Rui's Mansion and gave it to Qingyan."
As soon as the words fell, the expressions of everyone present changed. The queen suddenly raised her eyes, her eyes fell on Luo Qingyan, she was silent for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter."
Most of the civil and military officials behind him also nodded, seeming to agree with what the queen said.
Xia Huanyu waved his hand and said, "There is nothing wrong. The prince is no longer here. His mansion is idle and unused. Last month, the household department was crying about poverty. Since there is no money, there is no need to build any more.
That's it." He said and looked at Prince Jing again, "You and Chang'er are tired from traveling all the way. Chang'er has been seriously ill again and is not in good health, so go back and rest first. Liu Wen'an... Liu
Where is Wen An?"
Xia Huanyu called out twice, and then another middle-aged man dressed as a eunuch hurriedly walked to Xia Huanyu and said, "My lord, this servant is here."
Xia Huanyu frowned, "I asked you to stay in the palace and you didn't even know how to greet me when I returned to the palace? Prince Rui has just arrived in Jincheng and doesn't know the way, so just take Prince Rui back to the palace."
"No." The man dressed as an eunuch quickly walked up to Luo Qingyan and said with a smile, "Are these Prince Rui and Princess Rui? This way, please."
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Xia Huanyu, but saw that he had already led the queen and civil and military officials to the palace. Yun Shang frowned. The prince came to Jincheng for the first time, and Xia Huanyu placed the prince in the former prince's mansion.
It is clear that he wants to provoke public anger, but what is the purpose of doing this?
Yun Shang noticed a vicious gaze looking at her from a distance. Yun Shang followed the gaze and saw a young woman looking at her. Yun Shang frowned. Who is this...?
"Princess?" Someone called Yun Shang. Yun Shang came back to her senses, smiled slightly at the eunuch named Liu Wen'an, and followed Luo Qingyan's pace. Thinking in her heart, this person in the Xia Kingdom's palace
In China, I'm afraid it's much more complicated than Ningguo. From now on, I'm afraid I have to be careful every step of the way. (To be continued)
