Mrs. Wu is a blind, crazy and stupid person who lives in her own mind. When she met bandits in Dou County, she only panicked and shouted when she thought her group was a sparrow. At other times, she was calm and not alarmed.
No chaos, no fear.
What's more, what can happen? Although it is far from Dou County to the capital, everything passed by is under the control of the Chu State Lady's troops.
She and Jin Jue came from Dou County. They did not need thousands of troops to hide their whereabouts, but they had many overt and covert guards. They were all elite soldiers and strong generals. Bandits, rebels, and spies could not get close.
"Nothing happened along the way, let alone bandits." Fang Er said, "After entering the capital city three days ago, they stopped at an inn to rest, preparing to recharge and walk to the capital city in one breath...
..”
That was what happened in the inn, Li Minglou asked quickly.
Fang Er shook his head: "Nothing happened in the inn. This inn is prosperous and grand, and the people who come to stay are all rich people. There is also a stage in the inn. Jin Jue took his wife to watch the theater and the sideshows. Madam
I was very happy, but in the middle of the night, Kumquat was woken up by his wife, who actually packed up her baggage and wanted to escape with Kumquat..."
Li Minglou picked up the words: "Escape?"
"That's what Jin Jue said." Fang Er thought seriously, "Mrs. Wu was panic-stricken and had to rush away immediately without disturbing the surroundings. Jin Jue thought that the lady had a nightmare, so in order to appease her, she followed her words.
We set out at night, but after daybreak, the lady was still anxious and uneasy, and refused to take the car. She took Kumquat and walked along the small road.
It was supposed to arrive in three days, but it hasn't arrived yet.
"Even though Madam was tired, she couldn't sleep well, and her spirit was almost broken." Fang Er said again, "Jinjie didn't dare to delay any longer, so he asked the accompanying doctor to give Madam medicine and galloped all the way..."
It is better to say it personally than to deliver the letter. Li Minglou stopped asking and stood up: "I will pick them up."
Yuanji looked uneasy: "Miss, your body..."
The strange arm injury has not healed yet, and the curtains of Haitang Palace are heavily wrapped around him. Li Minglou's spirit has not improved. When he wants to go out, the sky is bright and the sun is blazing outside.
Li Minglou looked outside. Through the palace curtains, the sun was dimly like fire.
"My body is already like this anyway." She said, "Whatever."
...
...
No matter how good the carriage is, it cannot avoid bumps while traveling at high speed.
A jolt caused the drowsy woman to wake up suddenly. She stretched out her hand and rubbed it forward, making a sound.
"Madam, madam, I'm here." Jin Jue hurriedly hugged her and said softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
The woman grabbed her hand and lowered her voice: "Wan'er, how far have we gone?"
Ever since Mrs. Wu shook her awake in the middle of the night, Jinjue had an additional name, Wan'er, which sounded like the woman's girl.
The young lady has already become a Que'er, so it's natural for her to become a Wan'er.
"We have gone a long way." Jin Jue held the woman's hand, lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "No one can catch up."
The woman's breath calmed down a little, but she groped around her again: "Where is Ya'er? Where is Ya'er?"
Jin Jue hurriedly handed her a baggage next to her: "It's here, it's here."
The woman held the bundle in her arms and held it tightly to her chest. She relaxed obviously and murmured to herself. Jin Jue got closer and carefully identified the song as a song to put the baby to sleep.
The woman was no longer panicked, but Jin Jue became even more anxious. She turned around and quietly raised the car curtain, asking in a low voice, "How long will it take?"
The guard outside the car whispered: "Two hours at most."
Before he finished speaking, there was an ups and down on the road, and the speeding carriage bumped. Jin Jue didn't bother to hold on to the carriage board, and turned around to hug the woman. The woman had already screamed because of the bumps, and the baggage in her hands also rolled off.
"Go quickly, go quickly," she shouted.
Jinju hugged her and shouted, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." We walked very fast, but we couldn't help shouting to the outside of the car to slow down.
The woman didn't struggle this time and was trembling all over.
Jin Jue wanted to push the bundle to her, but she didn't accept it and covered her eyes with her hands.
"Mom." She moaned breathlessly, "It hurts."
The woman had been in this situation for three or four days. She was either restless or looking for her son. Jin Jue was anxious and worried, but not very sad. Until she heard the sound of mother and pain, her tears flowed down.
.
"Hurry up..." she cried and shouted outside.
Before he finished speaking, there was a shout from outside.
"Mrs. Chu is here!"
...
...
After Li Minglou got in the car, he saw Kumquat and Wu Wu holding each other.
Jin Jue looked at Li Minglou who was sitting in the car and her tears flowed even more fiercely: "Miss, I, I..."
She didn't want to cry, she should wipe away her tears and tell the lady not to worry.
But when she saw the young lady, she couldn't hold back her tears. She didn't think about anything but crying.
"Don't be afraid." Li Minglou said, reaching out to hug the two people hugging each other, "I'm here, don't be afraid."
The woman stopped trembling and sobbing, raised her head and looked at Li Minglou: "Que'er?"
Li Minglou nodded: "Yes, I'm here."
The woman reached out and hugged her. Her body was still shaking, but her hands were strong: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. With me here, Ya'er will be fine, and so will you."
Li Minglou said hello and approached the woman: "I'm not afraid."
The woman held her in front of her and stopped trembling and crying. Jin Jue cried even harder.
She was obviously scared to call her mother, but when her child was in front of her, she was a brave and fearless mother.
The carriage galloped all the way to the capital. Li Minglou did not travel as Mrs. Chu. Since the recapture of the capital, no one had seen Mrs. Chu.
This did not affect the stability of the capital. The government officials performed their respective duties and the troops were strong but did not disturb the people. Many people came to the capital. The streets were in good order and became more and more prosperous.
Life was so peaceful and comfortable that many people even forgot that Mrs. Chu existed in the capital.
Although there was no Madame Chu's flag to clear the way, the Zhenwu Army's urgent message flag passed through the city gate streets and entered the palace smoothly without causing any commotion. Just because there were two more vehicles among the soldiers and horses, the people on the street were a little agitated.
Curious discussion.
"Are you a female family member? Are you going to see Mrs. Chu?"
"That's not necessarily the case. There is a beautiful young man who also came in by car."
The chatter on the street was left behind by the carriages and horses, and he walked into the Li Ming Tower of the palace to ask Qing Jinju as he passed by.
"Nothing really happened. Madam was very happy, eating, watching theater and sleeping."
"It happened suddenly in the middle of the night."
"Mostly I remember that when Governor Wu was a child, I rolled up a swaddling bag for her and she wouldn't let go."
"It seemed like someone was chasing them and wanted to harm them. They kept urging me to run and hide."
"And remembering her injury, eyes."
Jin Jue choked and said, turning to look at Mrs. Wu sitting by the bed. In order to avoid irritating her, she did not wash or change clothes. She sat on the couch, holding the baby in her arms and murmuring softly, immersed in her own world.
Although I knew from the first meeting that the woman was crazy and stupid, there was no scary behavior in our daily interactions except for the occasional confusion of words.
This was the first time I saw a woman going crazy.
"She was stimulated. She must have seen something." Li Minglou said, looking back at Jin Jue, "What show did you watch that day?"
Was it the story in the play that stimulated the woman?
Jin Jue thought for a while: "It's just singing and dancing, juggling, playing monkeys, and breathing fire."
Is this like this? Could it be that he is remembering his past life? When Li Minglou saw the woman, she must have been rich and noble. It is common for rich families to have kabuki performers, but it was wrong. On Huainan Road, she often took women to watch plays and sideshows.
, the woman was not stimulated by the memories.
"Who did you see?" Li Minglou asked, "There are many people in that inn, are there also many people watching the theater? Is there anyone following you as you walk?"
After the capital was recovered, more people came and went, and there were also more wealthy people. Even though it was a good and expensive inn, there were still many people inside, and there were also many people watching the theater...
Jin Jue bit her lower lip: "I followed Madam all the time, and there were guards around me. I didn't go out and walk around the inn. I also asked for a box on the second floor to watch the show. I don't remember anyone approaching me, and no one said hello to Madam.
....”
As for tracking and being surrounded by guards, there will be no suspicious people approaching.
"Because we have many guards on the road, many travelers are willing to follow us and feel safe." Jin Jue said, "There are rich people, carriages and horses, and civilians on foot."
But they are all ordinary people, and the guards have checked them and are very vigilant.
Either an object or a person, it must be one of the two.
Li Minglou said to Yuan Ji: "Let Zhongliu check the origins of all the people in that inn at that time."
This is not a difficult task. There are many checkpoints to register your identity when entering the capital. Regardless of whether it is true or false, there are always traces to follow.
However, Yuanji was a little confused. Even if he found out the origins of these people, would the young lady know which ones were related? How could the young lady know where the Wu Fu people were from?
Wu Ya'er's life story is still a mystery, let alone this crazy woman who never talks about her life story.
"Miss, you can ask," Jiang Ming said, "In the past, Wu Ya'er took the initiative to say that his life experience could not be revealed, blocking the lady's mouth, but now that his mother is like this, can he still hide it?"
In fact, Yuan Ji nodded, but frowned: "Then the lady wants to write a letter to Wu Ya'er?"
Jiang Ming rolled up his sleeves: "I'll write. The lady asked me to write last time. I won't feel tired no matter how much I write."
Yuan Ji smiled, maybe there was no need to write a letter, Wu Ya'er should be on the way now, he could ask him face to face when he came, they would find out the matter and show it to Wu Ya'er, lest he think they were treating his mother harshly.
This matter must be investigated clearly and clearly.
...
...
The gates of the capital were noisy and bustling, the wide gates did not have any checkpoints, and the solemn soldiers would only make the people feel at ease.
The area near the city gate is no less prosperous than a busy city. Some people are talking and laughing, some are watching the scenery, and some are confused.
"It's strange why he's missing." A middle-aged man in a floral robe muttered, "He came to the city."
"Seventh Master." A follower beside him looked a little surprised. "A large group of carriages and horses entered the city earlier, and there were soldiers and horses clearing the way. Could it be her..."
The middle-aged man frowned: "How is it possible? Where did she get the soldiers and horses to make everyone in the city gate retreat?"
Yes, then... the entourage once again expressed his opinion: "Master Qi, I just said you are wrong. How is it possible?"
The middle-aged man also looked a little confused.
"Did you see it wrong?" he said, and the passing glance in the theater appeared in front of his eyes, "But it really looks like Mo'er."
