Chapter 721 Loyalty or Righteousness?

Yuan Langjun suddenly changed from one head to two big ones. It turned out that in addition to the edict, the emperor actually sent Concubine Xie Guifei and the little princess out.what is this?Entrusting Gu to the Seventh Prince on his deathbed?But if you want to ask, you should also protect a prince... How will this princess inherit the throne?
Concubine Xie obviously knew what Yuan Langjun was thinking, and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, let's get into the carriage first, we have to drive all the way to Qiuchi, the reason for this, when we get to Qiuchi, someone will naturally explain to you .”

Liu Yilong is obviously desperate.Almost all the hidden guards who were transferred to Shanglin Garden followed Concubine Xie Guifei and Yuan Langjun.

Many of them were trained by Yingfeng himself, and they are very familiar with this kind of secret escort.The hundred guards were divided into three groups, a group of explorers, a group of guards, and a group of rear guards.

In order to prevent the enemy from ambushing, they often change the road and dress randomly.

But I don't know if it was only a princess who fled, and did not attract the attention of King Pengcheng. Not only was there no ambush along the way, but I didn't even see a single chasing soldier.

Naturally, they didn't know that the Zoroastrians were ambushing Tan Yaoyu in Tuyuhun at this time, so how could they be distracted to intercept a concubine younger brother of a former empress and a princess who had no obstacles to the throne.

But even though the journey was smooth, Concubine Xie still stayed up for several nights in fear.The little princess was too young, and she was dizzy in the carriage. She only drank some water and ate some rice porridge in the past few days.

Concubine Xie felt sorry for her daughter, and remembered that she had never even seen the emperor for the last time before leaving, and her own journey was uncertain, so her tears kept flowing.

However, in just a few days, she became haggard and aged a lot.So much so that when they were approaching Qiu Chi and unexpectedly met Wang Wulang and Xie Huilian's envoys, Xie Huilian didn't recognize his own sister for a moment!
Although Wang and Xie could receive some news in the Northern Wei Dynasty, they only thought that Liu Yilong's city must have a backup, so how could King Pengcheng be tricked.

But when they learned that Xie Guifei and the little princess were secretly escorted by hidden guards to escape from Jiankang, they realized the seriousness of the situation.

"When I go in and out of the bedroom, there are internal servants to check. Princes and ministers, it has been a long time since I saw the emperor..."

Yuan Langjun briefly talked about what he saw in the palace, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "I am relieved to see the two gentlemen today. I have two referrals. I believe we will see each other soon." It's time for Immortal Fairy Qiuchi."

But Wang Wulang asked back: "Are you sure you want to meet Tan Yaoyu? Instead of sneaking into Qiuchi to find the Seventh Prince?"

Yuan Langjun was startled, but he didn't react for a moment.On the contrary, Concubine Xie has been in the palace for a long time, and she is more sensitive to these twists and turns. She looked at Xie Huilian and asked: "I have heard that the girls of the Tan family are hostile to the royal family. We have taken refuge in such a haste. Will she take us in?" ?”

Xie Hui even glanced at her elder sister, then at the little princess who was completely hiding in Concubine Xie's arms, and comforted Concubine Xie, "Sister, don't think too much. I'm not sure about others, but my sister and Yin'er are different. Yu'er, after all, there is a relationship with the aunt, and the cousin has made many plans for the elder sister in the past, and will never abandon you."

Concubine Xie sighed when she heard the words, "This moment, that moment. She helped me back then, but at that time it was mutual benefit, but now we are just a burden..."

"Where is the burden?" Xie Huilian didn't want to see his sister hurt, so he seldom boasted: "Isn't there still me? With me, Xie Huilian, can I make my own sister and niece suffer?"

Wang Wulang saw that Xie Huilian kept trying to hide peace, and interrupted impatiently: "You know that I am not talking about Xie Guifei's placement. You don't need to worry about the concubine, Tan Yaoyu's only weakness is his relatives, you As long as you are related to her, she will not treat you mother and daughter badly."

"Then what is Mr. Wang worried about?" Concubine Xie Guifei asked.

Wang Wulang pointed to Yuan Langjun's arms, "Although I haven't read this imperial decree, it is likely that the Seventh Prince Qin Wang will rescue him. If Tan Yaoyu finds out about this, she will definitely stop it Human. She has been looking forward to the chaos in the Southern Song Dynasty for a long time."

Yuan Langjun understood at this time, but hesitated: "What Wang Langjun means is that we sneak into Qiuchi secretly to find the Seventh Prince?"

"Wang Wulang!" Xie Huilian was in a hurry, "I've seen something wrong with you since the Northern Wei Dynasty! You must marry the daughter of the Cui family! If it wasn't for that, we would have returned to Qiuchi a long time ago. Why did we wait until now to be so passive? Do you have any intention of going to Qiu Chi?"

Xie Huilian had never blushed with Wang Wulang like this, and Wang Wulang was also annoyed, "What's the matter! You and I are not Qiu Chi's courtiers! Could it be that you forgot your own name when you went on a mission for someone else?" Who!? You are Xie Jiulang, the eldest son of the Xie family! The Xie family is your root, not Tan Yaoyu! Not Qiu Chi!"

Although Xie Huilian has regarded Yaoyu as a family member, deep down in his heart, he always felt that the name of his eldest son was given to him by Tan Yaoyu's compassion.

At this time, the long-standing inferiority complex suddenly came into play, making Xie Huilian stand up angrily, "What do you mean by that? When did I betray the Xie family?!"

"At this time!" Wang Wulang also stood up, "Listen to me clearly, if we can help the Seventh Prince sneak away from Qiuchi to save the emperor, it will be a rescue! Whether it is you or me, it will be a great achievement." It's a great achievement! In the future, who else in the clan would dare to laugh at you and me? Even the Wang and Xie families will restore their former glory! But if you are hesitant, tell Tan Yaoyu about this, and the Seventh Prince It is absolutely impossible to get half a step away from Qiu Chi!"

Xie Huilian was dumbfounded.It's not that he doesn't understand, it's just that he selfishly thought that Tan Yaoyu would accept the emperor's plea for help just like he accepted him.But the so-called love of houses and birds does not apply to everything.

Seeing his younger brother's appearance, Concubine Xie hurriedly stood up and hugged him to sit down, "Speak up if you have something to say. No matter what, my sister believes that you are on my side."

Xie Huilian looked at his sister, and then at Wang Wulang... On the one hand, his loyalty to Yao Yu and Qiu Chi, on the other hand, his loyalty to his family and relatives, it was a dilemma...

And Xie Huilian was not the only one who was struggling.Yuan Langjun originally thought that he could help Tan Yaoyu with this matter, which would also help Zhu Yuanyuan, allowing him to continue working with Zhu Yuanyuan, but unexpectedly, the matter turned out to be a dilemma.

Several people sat by the fire from dark to dawn.Concubine Xie carried the little princess back to the carriage first, but kept watching the movement over there from the gap in the curtain of the carriage.

Until Xie Huilian stood up, Concubine Xie Guifei couldn't help but straighten her upper body, and she heard Xie Huilian say: "You sneak into the dowry team of Cui's daughter, and sneak into Qiuchi with us first. We will go find the Seventh Prince after tonight. .”

Yuan Langjun wanted to say something, but he obviously didn't have much weight in front of Wang Xie, so he sighed softly and nodded in agreement.
