No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 451 Leaving Beijing!

In the next few days, Luo Junyao stayed in the palace very peacefully except for entering the palace to handle affairs and visit Princess Changling.Every day, he either watched Xie Yan take a good rest, or accompanied Xie Cheng who relieved his depression.

Princess Changling was still living in the palace, and Princess Changling fell down as soon as the empress dowager's sacrifice was over.

After waking up after sleeping for a day and a night, Princess Changling was unwilling to leave the palace.He only chose a Nuan Pavilion behind the Yukun Palace, saying that he would keep his filial piety for the Empress Dowager here.

Others couldn't persuade Princess Changling, so Qin Ning took a long vacation from Anlan Academy to stay with her mother in the palace.Princess Changzhao's burden was too heavy, so Qin Ning simply brought her younger brother into the palace. There is a child who needs to be taken care of, at least so that Princess Changling will not be too immersed in grief.

"Shake."

Luo Junyao looked at the thin Qin Ning and asked, "How is Miss Huang?"

Qin Ning smiled bitterly on her small face, and said, "It's better, mother is afraid that I will worry, so she will only cry secretly at night. I..." Mother didn't want her to know her pain, and she had to pretend to be calm during the day, She can only pretend that she doesn't know.

But watching her mother lose weight day by day, Qin Ning really didn't know what to do.

After all, she was just a little girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old.

Luo Junyao patted the back of her hand lightly, and said softly: "Sister Huang is a very strong person, she will come out."

Qin Ning nodded, and said: "Yesterday evening, the cousin of the Zhou family came into the palace to pay homage to my grandmother. My mother seemed to be in a better mood, and she talked with my cousin for a long time. In a few days, my cousin and the others should be there too. Time might be better.”

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Go and rest, I'll talk to Sister Huang."

Qin Ning knew that she had business to talk to her mother, she nodded and turned to find her younger brother who was taken for a walk in the garden by the nanny.

Princess Changling was sitting in the room writing. Luo Junyao walked over to take a look and found that she was copying scriptures.

These days, Princess Changling will copy the scriptures herself every day, and then burn them in front of the empress dowager.Xie Yan can also copy, but after all, he has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't copy as much as Princess Changling.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Princess Changling raised her head and glanced at her, "Why is Yaoyao here? There is nothing going on in the palace these days, you should rest at home."

Luo Junyao looked at her carefully and said, "I want to ask sister Huang for help with something."

Princess Changling put down her pen and said seriously, "Say it."

Luo Junyao hesitated for a moment, and said, "I want to ask sister Huang to take care of Ah Cheng for a while."

"How do you say that?" Princess Changling was taken aback, and said, "But what happened to Ah Cheng?"

Seeing that she was anxious to get up, Luo Junyao quickly held her down and said, "Ah Cheng is fine, it's just... because of the matter of the Empress Dowager, these days Ah Cheng always wakes up at night, and his energy is not good during the day. I thought, It should be better to have an elder by his side from time to time. Originally, I could also accompany Ah Cheng, but I’m going on a long trip recently, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of Ah Cheng.”

"You want to go far away?" Princess Changling asked in surprise.

Apart from going back to her natal home or going to the south to visit her daughter and relatives like Princess Changling, the women of Shangyong rarely traveled far.

Not to mention the regent princess, the relatives of the Xie family are all in Shangyong except for a very few vassal princes who have no relationship at all.Although the Luo family has relatives in their hometown, it's probably not Luo Junyao's turn to visit relatives.

Luo Jun said in a low voice: "This matter is top secret, except for A Yan and my father's second brother, only tell Huangjie to one person."

Princess Changling's expression became more and more dignified. After all, she was born in the royal family, and her sensitivity to many things was no lower than that of court officials.She immediately understood what Luo Junyao said.It is absolutely impossible for Luo Junyao to leave Shangyong at this time for fun.

Princess Changling collected herself, and said, "Zhifei and General Luo agree with you to travel alone?"

Luo Jun smiled and said: "At this time, my father and A Yan are inseparable. So I can only work hard for Huang Jie, Huang Jie has a child to take care of, Ah Cheng..."

"What are you talking about?" Princess Changling said, "Ah Cheng is my own nephew, I should take care of him. To be honest...we are sorry for you."

How pampered and pampered the second girl of the Luo family was at home, she has only been married for half a year now, in the eyes of General Luo, her daughter is probably still a child.However, the royal family is dying, and things have happened one after another in the past six months, and Ah Cheng can only be taught by Zhifei and Yaoyao.

This girl has already started to raise a child before she even gave birth to a child. Princess Changling really feels sorry for Luo Junyao.

"Then sister Huang agreed?" Luo Junyao asked.

Princess Changling nodded and said: "Since you have something to do, I should take care of Ah Cheng, just don't worry."

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Then there is trouble for Huangjie. I know that people are inseparable in the palace. As long as Huangjie visits Ah Cheng in the palace every two days, it will be fine. Ah Cheng also needs to enter the palace from time to time for the Empress Dowager." Kneeling spirit, Huang Jie can also keep him in the palace for a while. There are a few young masters in the palace, there are Ah Ning and Xinyu in the palace, and there is also a little baby, Ah Cheng will not be lonely."

Princess Changling said: "Okay, just don't worry." After saying that, he pondered for a moment and then said: "I don't ask what you are doing out there, but you must pay attention to safety. Zhifei... the empress is gone, and you are Zhifei's closest relative. people."

Luo Junyao stretched out his arms to hug Princess Changling, and said, "Sister Huang, don't worry, you are also A Yan's relatives."

A faint smile appeared on Princess Changling's lips, and she patted her arm lightly, "Okay."

Five days later, news came from Qingzhou that the governor of Qingzhou, Cao Mian, was preparing to leave for Beijing on April [-]th. Counting the time when he rushed to deliver the letter back, Shangyong received the news on April [-]th.

Luo Junyao threw the letter into Xie Xiao's arms and said, "Get ready to go!"

Xie Xiao looked down at the letter in his hand, sighed and nodded in agreement.

Outside the imperial city in the middle of the night, several horses quickly disappeared into the night.

It wasn't until the sound of horseshoes gradually disappeared that several figures came out from the hiding place.

"My lord, do you really want the concubine to go to Qingzhou like this?" Wei Changting waved his folding fan once and for all, while stealing glances at Xie Yan's face.

In the night, Xie Yan's expression was not very clear, but his eyes looking into the distance were quiet and long.

It took him a while before he said in a deep voice, "Who can stop her from making up her mind?"

Wei Changting raised his eyebrows, "The prince can really rest assured?"

Xie Yan said: "So what if you don't worry?"

Wei Changting was stunned, and could only sigh.

Yes, so what if you don't worry?

Although the regent princess is young, she has big ideas. The key is that she really has this ability.If she was just an ordinary lady, she could still use various reasons to reject her and let her stay obediently in the palace.

But she is obviously capable, and she wants to do it herself, forcing her to be placed in a place she thinks is safe, on the contrary, it seems to be doing her own good for her own peace of mind.

If Luo Junyao hadn't been the princess regent, and if her accident hadn't affected Xie Yan and Luo Yun too much, Wei Changting himself would have felt that excessive protection itself was a kind of tyranny, a hidden gem.

In fact, it can be seen from the planning of Anlan Academy designed by the princess regent that this little princess is not a heartless person willing to live a comfortable life.

Xie Yan looked sideways at Wei Changting and said, "I asked Gu Jue to follow her."

Wei Changting was taken aback, "Isn't Gu Jue going back to the border?" The Zhen Guojun stationed in Shangyong didn't need a general like Gu Jue at all, and Gu Jue's return to the border had been decided long ago.

Xie Yan said lightly: "Gu Jue will also pass through Qingzhou when he goes back."

"..." Passing Qingzhou...

It's really a big circle.

Xie Yan said: "Gu Jue's decree to leave the capital will be released after one month, understand?"

Wei Changting immediately understood, "Yes, my lord."

"Let's go back." Xie Yan nodded, turned around and headed towards the imperial city.

Wei Changting looked at the night where there were no voices or figures behind him, and quickly followed Xie Yan.

"Speaking of which, I quite admire our little concubine." Wei Changting followed behind Xie Yan and muttered, "If she can solve the Qingzhou matter smoothly, in the future, my lord... if there is any inconvenience, she may also I can control the Zhen Guojun for you. Tsk... I really don’t know how General Luo gave birth to such a girl.”

"Wei Changting." Xie Yan stopped and said in a deep voice.

"What are your orders from the lord?"

"To shut up."

Several horses galloped seven or eight miles in one breath in the night before they stopped. Luo Jun shook his head and looked behind him and heaved a sigh of relief.

There were only five people following her, Qu Fang, Xie Xiao, Ye Feng, Qin Yao'er, and Chen Xun.

Originally, Luo Junyao didn't intend to take Qin Yao'er with her, but she got entangled with her just before leaving. This girl looked like "I'm going to make trouble if you don't take me with you", Luo Junyao had no choice but to give in.

"Okay, it seems that no one is catching up, let's take a rest and walk slowly." Luo Jun shook his head.

Xie Xiao felt a little unreal. Although he was a professional runaway, he still felt that the regent princess's run away from home tonight was a little too smooth.

"Princess, do you really think we can just leave like this?" Xie Xiao asked.

Luo Junyao played with the horsewhip, glanced at him, and then at Ye Feng and Chen Xundao who were also a little uneasy: "Don't worry, if we really can't leave, we won't be able to leave the palace at all."

Xie Xiao was taken aback, a little unbelievable, "You mean... the prince let us go on purpose?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Open your eyes and close them."

Xie Xiao was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Please forgive me for not understanding the thoughts of the prince and concubine."

"Why don't we be princes and concubines?" Luo Jun said, "Besides, you, a single dog, of course don't understand. Calm down, look at Mr. Qu, young people still have too little experience."

Qu Fang glanced at her and said nothing.

Compared to Xie Xiao's bewilderment, he was truly amazed at the little princess's courage and thoughts.

If it was changed to other things, Qu Fang might not be willing to leave Shangyong to help Xie Yan, but if this little princess was changed, Qu Fang would not be unhappy in his heart.

He was really curious, he wanted to see how far this little princess could do it.

As for Xie Yan entrusting him in private, if there is any danger to bring Luo Junyao back to Shangyong first, it will be discussed according to the specific situation.

Qu Fang actually felt that Xie Yan was a little overwhelmed. With the skills of the regent princess and him by his side, even a mountain of swords and seas of fire would be enough to escape completely.

Among the group, Qin Yao'er should be the happiest.

She has long been tired of staying in Shangyong, but she dared not run away because of Xie Yan's intimidation.Now that she has an excuse to come out aboveboard, of course she will pester the princess to take her with her.

Chen Xun was the most silent among the group. He knew that the Prince Regent would send someone to Qingzhou sooner or later, but he did not expect that the person who would go would be the Princess Regent.

Is this... really reliable?

"Princess, there is someone in front." Ye Feng said suddenly.

Everyone raised their heads and looked forward, and they saw that there seemed to be a person and a horse standing vaguely on the side of the road ahead.

The other party naturally also heard the movement of them coming, but they only moved slightly and did not react much.

After getting closer, Luo Junyao could see clearly that the one standing on the side of the road leading a horse was none other than Gu Jue.

Gu Jue was leaning against the big tree by the side of the road, and when they walked in, he stood up straight and said with a smile: "The princess is a little slow to come, let me wait."

Luo Junyao sat on the horseback and stared at Gu Jue, "Why are you here?"

Gu Jue smiled and said: "Under the order of the prince, I am transferred back to Suzhou to guard the border."

Luo Jun shook his head: "I remember that Suzhou is on a different road from ours."

Gu Jue shrugged, and said: "Oh, the imperial edict given to me by the lord is one month later, if I go back now, I will be treated as a private escape and beheaded."

"so what?"

"Will the princess stay with you for a while?" Gu Jue said.

Hearing his pleading voice, looking at his bright eyes under the night, Luo Junyao couldn't help laughing out loud.

After laughing, he asked, "When did Ah Yan tell you?"

Gu Jue didn't hide anything, "Two days ago."

Luo Junyao sighed in her heart, it seemed that she really couldn't hide anything from him, although she didn't really intend to hide anything, it can only be said that she knew it.

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Then please trouble General Gu to come with us?"

Gu Jue responded, got on the horse and said, "Listen to the concubine's dismissal."

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Okay, the first thing I want to say is, from now on...don't call me Wangfei."

Gu Jue was very knowledgeable, and said with a hearty smile, "Yes, girl."

Gu Jue controlled the horse and came to Luo Junyao, took out a token and handed it to her, "The prince asked me to give it to the princess."

Luo Junyao took it and played with it, "Is this the token of the Cizi Camp?"

Gu Jue nodded and said: "Outside your identity, you can command the people in the palace, but the secret word camp still needs this."

Although the General of the Zhen Guojun and the Prince Regent are the same person, the Zhen Guojun is not equivalent to the Palace of the Regent.

The regent princess has the right to use all the power of the regent princess, but theoretically the wife of the general Zhen Guo has no power to command the Zhen Guo army.

Luo Junyao put it away carefully, and couldn't help but look back at the dark place where he came from.

I just left, and I miss the people in the imperial city.
