Chapter 49

The long scorpion was pressed against Yuan Che's chest wall, hearing his strong heartbeat and steady and quiet breathing, she kept her blind eyes open and refused to let herself fall asleep.

She was afraid that once she fell asleep, this innocent person who was tainted by her curse would die quietly like the concubine Xian and the prince.

But he couldn't beat the growing drowsiness in his body, and fell asleep as soon as his eyelids drooped.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, she woke up suddenly, her twisted arms started to move, and she grabbed the lapel of Yuan Che's chest indiscriminately and asked, "You...are you still there?"

Yuan Che was still holding her, wrapped her small body in his arms, and replied softly: "I'm still here. Your Highness, my name is Yuan Che. Your Highness can call me Yuan Che."

Chang Ji held on tightly to his skirt, and suddenly heard footsteps, and her whole body tensed up immediately.

Yuan Che noticed it, and comforted him in a gentle voice: "Your Highness, don't be nervous, there are soldiers from Shenshan Mansion outside."

Lieutenant General Yan Jiang, dressed in black and armor, was leading a group of soldiers into the fasting palace. From the gate of the fasting palace to the gate of the main hall, they stood solemnly in two rows. Without a word, only the sound of orderly footsteps on the snow could be heard.

The courtiers of the fasting palace all hid in the west side hall, huddled together, and did not dare to make a sound.

With an expressionless face along the river, he stepped into the main hall and saluted Yuan Che, "My lord, the carriage is ready. The commander of the imperial guards, Nie Chuanpei, led people outside to block the way."

Yuan Che said: "It doesn't matter. He is just following orders."

Looking down at Chang Ji again, he said: "There is a tea spring in Chenshan, which can heal the disabled and the sick. Many people come here especially, and nine out of ten can be cured. Your Highness was born with a disability. When he entered the palace yesterday I have informed His Majesty, and His Majesty has promised me to take His Highness to Shenshan Mansion for treatment. I left the palace today, and I don’t know when I will be back again. Is there any concern for Your Highness in the palace?"

Chang Ji opened his blind eyes for a while, then shook his head.

Yuan Che said: "Your Highness, do you want to go to Niechuan Imperial Concubine Palace to ask for resignation?"

Naruto shook his head again.

Yuan Che hugged her and got up, saluted again in front of the concubine Xian and the prince, and left the main hall.

The nun in charge held two bags, one big and one small, and said at the lower steps of the hall: "My son Shen Shan, this is the luggage of the third princess. This old slave has always served the third princess. I just made a big mistake in a moment of confusion yesterday. Now that the third princess is going to Shenshan Mansion, this old servant is thinking that the third princess’s luggage is unpacked, so I come here..."

Yuan Che said: "Shenshan Mansion only wants the Three Princesses alone, and nothing else is required."

A four-wheeled carriage was parked outside the palace gate of the fasting palace, and a square "Shen" character was embedded on the back wall of the carriage, which was the symbol of Shen Shan Mansion.

At this time, there were several rows of soldiers in black armor standing around the carriage, all of them held their heads high and held their swords, waiting solemnly.

In the snowstorm, Nie Chuanpei, the commander of the imperial guards of the Tai'an Palace, is wearing armor and holding a sword, leading hundreds of imperial guards to confront the soldiers of Shenshan Mansion.

Yuan Che came out of the fasting palace with his long trunk in his arms, and Nie Chuanpei stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "The eldest son has no order to bring troops into the palace, which is inconsistent with reason, and I want to come and have a look."

Leading troops into the palace without an edict is not only unreasonable, but also a serious crime of treason.It's just that in front of the elite soldiers of Shen Shan Mansion, the Commander spoke very politely.

Yuan Che said: "I was ordered by Your Majesty to come to pick up His Royal Highness the Third Princess out of the palace. Fearing that something might happen on the way, I led the troops here. I will ask Your Majesty for the crime of leading troops into the palace, and now I would like to ask my lord to make way." .”

Nie Chuanpei took two steps back, still clasped his fists in salute, and said: "The lower officials are also acting in accordance with the public, please don't be offended by the eldest son."

Yuan Che nodded and said, "It's only natural."

He got into the carriage with his long trunk in his arms, Ne Chuanpei turned around and waved, and the guards blocking the road immediately gave way to both sides.

The carriage with the emblem of the Shenshan Mansion was traveling northward from the Zhai Palace. The elite soldiers of the Shenshan Mansion stood behind the carriage with swords in their hands, and the sound of orderly steps echoed in the palace walls.Seeing this battle, the palace people sweeping the snow on the road bowed and retreated to both sides of the road to avoid it.

The carriage stopped suddenly in front of the gate of Beique, and Chang Wei couldn't help being startled. She was in a state of panic at this moment, and her whole body tensed up at the slightest movement. Will die inexplicably.

Yuan Che patted her on the shoulder and said: "Your Highness, don't be afraid, it's the imperial concubine and the fourth princess who came to see His Highness off."

As he said that, he was about to get out of the car to greet him, but Chang Ji held onto him tightly.Yuan Che couldn't get up and get out of the car, so he could only bow his hands and salute to Noble Concubine Nie Chuan and the Fourth Princess through the car window.

Concubine Nie Chuan led Hui Jiu and stood under the window of the car. She was slender and could hardly stand still in the snowy cold wind, but she tried her best to look inside the carriage, wanting to catch a glimpse of Chang Wei.

Back to the wine and shouted into the carriage: "Sister..."

In the wind and snow, her young voice trembled slightly.Hearing her shout, Chang Ji couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in his heart, he grabbed Yuan Che's robe even tighter, but he still didn't respond to her.

Concubine Nie Chuan said slowly from the car window: "Chang Bian, after all, it is mother who is sorry for you. After leaving the palace, don't come back again..."

The teardrops in the corners of the eyes are between the eyes, this is her biological mother.It was the first time she heard the voice of her biological mother.But he told her not to come back...

She forcefully forced back the tears.

"My son..." Noble Concubine Niechuan looked at Yuan Che and said in a low voice, "Chang Wei will rely on his son's protection from now on, and Mrs. Niechuan is extremely grateful."

After speaking, he bowed to Yuan Che.

Yuan Che hurriedly saluted in the carriage and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Shen Shan Manor will definitely protect His Highness well."

Hui Jiu cried loudly outside the carriage: "Sister, Jiujiu won't see sister anymore, Jiujiu will miss sister... Sister, you also want Jiujiu..."

Chang Ji closed his blind eyes tightly, and only said: "Go..."

The Beique gate was wide open, Yuan Che saluted and bid farewell to Concubine Niechuan, and the carriage continued to drive forward to the Beique gate.

After drinking, he couldn't help shouting "Sister", and chased out with the carriage.

Concubine Nie Chuan took a few steps and hugged her in her arms. She whimpered and cried and shouted to the carriage going away, "Sister". Concubine, Jiujiu doesn't want my sister to leave the palace. I used to secretly go to the fasting palace to see her, and she said that she likes Jiujiu to see her, and she also likes Jiujiu. My sister is out of the palace, so Jiujiu won't be able to see her... …Concubine Mu, you are also reluctant to part with Elder Sister, right? Let’s go and beg Father, not to let Elder Sister go out of the palace..."

Concubine Niechuan wept softly, "Your elder sister can only survive if she leaves the palace..."

Hearing the cries of returning to the wine in the carriage, Chang Ji couldn't help trembling all over.She buried her face in Yuan Che's robe, tears finally fell down.

Yuan Che hugged her tightly and said, "Your Highness, don't need to be sad. From now on, Shen Shan Mansion will be His Highness's home."

At this time, the carriage was passing through the Beique Gate and driving out of Tai'an Palace.Then, amidst the wind and snow all over the city, the heavy palace gate made a muffled loud noise and slowly closed behind the carriage.Shut this bleak place full of rumors and death far behind you.
