Song Qinghuan knew the truth about Princess Rouzhen's fake death, but she didn't dare to show any signs of it.
Nowadays, the weather is extremely hot, and "Rou Zhen"'s body was damaged when it was found. No matter how sincere the Su family is, they can only rest for three days and then bury her in the Su family's ancestral grave.
Because Song Qinghuan was a good friend of Rouzhen, he went with her to pay her last respects on the day of her burial.
Regardless of whether Princess Rouzhen's death was a homicide or an accident, Prince Xiao Mu used this excuse to clean up a few people.
The Empress Dowager also turned a blind eye to this. As long as Xiao Mu did not touch her bottom line, she would let Xiao Mu, a sick man, torment her.
Princess Rouzhen's death had no impact on Emperor Chengxing's birthday, which was close to the same birthday.
Emperor Chengxing liked his daughter Rouzhen, but now that she is gone, there are still many daughters left who can replace her, and the sadness will fade away in only four or five days.
On the occasion of the birthday of the Holy Emperor, hundreds of officials were entertained in the palace, and the peace was celebrated with singing and dancing. Song Qinghuan, Xiao Ci, Xiao Jingchuan and Xiao Jingtong were also present.
But Rouzhen and Wu Nian will go to the border area of eastern Liaoning.
The journey was full of wind and rain, exposed to the sun and rain, which was very hard for a pampered princess.
But no matter how hard it was, we managed to hold on. It was still midsummer in Kyoto, and the closer we got to Liaodong, the colder the weather became. When we entered Liaodong, we had to wear winter clothes.
Rouzhen and Wu Nian dressed up as men along the way. Although they occasionally encountered gangsters a few times, they got through it safely in the end.
It was said that he was going to Liaodong to join Song Youyu, but when they entered Yicheng on the border of the Cao family, the master and servant did not dare to mess around, so they only found a place to settle down first.
Later, I inquired about Song Youyu's whereabouts, and then I found him and blocked him in a toilet.
Xiao Rouzhen was kept fair and fair in Beijing, but on the way to Liaodong, she became a lot darker. In addition, she deliberately covered up when she went out, and she became even darker. At this time, she was wearing fur clothes from Liaodong people.
, with such a slovenly appearance, Song Youyu really didn’t recognize him.
He only had to go to the toilet when someone blocked him. He cursed with a curse word and was about to kick Xiao Rouzhen.
Xiao Rouzhen also learned the Kungfu of two moves of the three-legged cat. She would avoid Song Youyu's kick but could not resist the second move.
He laughed hurriedly and said: "General Xiao Song is so inhumane. He has a good appearance, but he doesn't know how to show mercy to others."
Song Youyu didn't recognize Xiao Rouzhen's appearance. Dai Shi heard her voice and immediately restrained her moves and looked at her carefully.
He was surprised and happy at the same time, his eyes were full of light, and he smiled in disbelief: "I thought I heard wrong, it is really you."
Then he asked: "Why did you come to Liaodong and still look like this?"
Xiao Rouzhen rubbed her face, wiping off the dark stuff on her face, and smiled: "I came here specially to seek refuge with you. I wanted to dress up beautifully to see you, but I'm just a girl.
I am unfamiliar with the place in Liaodong and I am afraid of being bullied."
There were very few people from Kyoto in Cao's army, so Song Youyu was very happy to see Xiao Rouzhen in Liaodong.
He smiled heartily and said, "I'm here, so what are you afraid of?"
He has a small residence in Yicheng, and now that there is no war, he usually spends most of his time going back to that small residence to rest.
At this time, he was outside and didn't have much to say, so he led Xiao Rouzhen to his small courtyard on the outskirts of the city.
Xiao Rouzhen blinked and asked him, "Can I take Wu Nian to your place to stay overnight?"
The inn outside was kept clean, but it was not safe for her two girls to live there.
Song Youyu didn't hesitate at all. He waved his hand and said: "Go, my yard is not big, but I have to live alone."
Xiao Rouzhen and Song Youyu were not polite at all. After finding Wu Nian, they went to the inn to collect all the gifts and followed Song Youyu directly to his residence.
The suburbs are not as lively as the city, but they are close to the military camp and are usually safe.
Song Youyu lived in a man's house and was not at home every day, so many areas in the house were stained with dust. When he invited two girls in, they didn't even get a drop of tea.
Wu Nian was used to being served, so he went straight to the kitchen to boil water without anyone asking.
Song Youyu's yard was not big, it only had one room. He slept in the big one by himself, and the small one was always empty.
When I saw two girls, Xiao Rouzhen and Wu Nian, I vacated the big room for them and moved into a small room by myself.
Xiao Rouzhen was not polite to him, so she said: "I am a person who escaped for my life. I came to Liaodong to join you, but I have no money to pay your rent."
Song Youyu laughed and said, "It's okay. I'll ask my sister for the same thing later."
He didn't ask what happened to Xiao Rouzhen in Beijing. He also assumed that it was Song Qinghuan's idea that she came to Liaodong to seek refuge with him, and he treated her like one of his own family members.
Xiao Rouzhen had no intention of hiding anything from him. She put away her and Wu Nian's belongings and said to Song Youyu, "I escaped from marriage, and Sister Qinghuan doesn't know either."
After a pause, he continued: "If nothing had gone wrong, Princess Rouzhen in Kyoto would have been buried."
Song Youyu's expression calmed down, and he didn't ask her why she wanted to make such a calculation. He just said, "Isn't your engaged husband's family bad?"
Xiao Rouzhen smiled and said: "I can even give up my identity as a princess. Do you think he is good?"
He added: "Actually, I don't know whether he is good or not. I just feel that life is too tiring. Every day when I open my eyes, I have to plot everything. Even when I go to bed at night, I don't dare to talk in my sleep, for fear of being taken advantage of."
."
Song Youyu didn't quite understand Xiao Rouzhen's situation, but he also knew how uncomfortable it was to live uncomfortably, so he understood Xiao Rouzhen better.
Without asking any further questions, he just smiled and said, "Then you've come to the right place in Liaodong."
He said: "I have been promoted now and my monthly salary is quite high. I will ask my brother-in-law to subsidize it later. I should be able to support you."
He spoke seriously, but Xiao Rouzhen spat at him: "Who wants you to raise me? You are not your wife."
He also told him: "Wu Nian and I have special status. If we want to stay in Yicheng for a long time, I'm afraid we will have to trouble you to register for us."
Song Youyu has been in Yicheng for a few years. He has a playful temperament. Whether he is with Xiao Luoluo below or with the direct generals above him, he has a good relationship.
However, it was not difficult to arrange household registration for the two girls as a favor, and knowing that Xiao Rouzhen might not be able to return to Kyoto from now on, he agreed: "It's just a small matter, I will take care of it for you tomorrow.
"
Xiao Rouzhen thanked him, but she made Song Youyu laugh: "Don't do this."
Since we have to settle down the household registration, the original name cannot be used. Xiao Rouzhen said: "My biological mother's surname is Zhao. She also gave me a nickname of Yuanyuan before she was alive. After that, I changed my name to Zhao Yuanyuan. Before Wu Nian entered the palace, my name was Lihua."
, we call each other sisters, so we take my last name.
