Chapter 236
Siqing pulled Yunchu's sleeve and asked, "Where's Lingbo?"

Yunchu went to look for Yuan Lingbo, Siqing walked back and forth anxiously with the letter, Yuan Lingbo hurried in, Siqing asked: "Have you read the letters sent by Jiangnan Division along the way?"

Yuan Lingbo said: "It's all here with His Highness, I haven't read it yet."

Siqing sat down in disappointment, and handed her a thin sheet of paper in her hand. Yuan Lingbo saw that the title on the paper was correct, and it said "arrive Weiyang on July [-]".There was another signed letter without a whistle, and it was scrawled in unfinished handwriting, "Turn around immediately and go back north..." But there was only a dot behind it, the word was not finished, it was probably the word "Jing".

Yuan Lingbo immediately realized that something was wrong, "Didn't Your Majesty tell you to go to Weiyang when Yuzhou arrived in Weiyang on July 24th? Why did it change?" Xiao Yi's original intention was probably that Siqing made a trip for nothing. Since she came, It would be good to stay in Weiyang for two days to see the moonlight on the [-]th bridge, but now I suddenly write a vernacular to make Siqing turn back.

Si Qing forced herself to calm down, "The handwriting is scribbled, and it's not even finished. And it's His Majesty's handwriting, it doesn't look like someone imitating his handwriting. Where did the letter come from?"

Yuan Lingbo said: "There is no information about the sentinel, but the pigeons that flew over must belong to us, or they may belong to the Jinwu Guard on the imperial boat." She went to ask the pigeon trainer on board, and when she came back, her face was even more ugly. "Girl, something is wrong. There is no sign of the post on the letter, but the pigeons are from Daming Mansion."

Si Qing said: "The pigeons are still circling? The letters I wrote these two days, third brother didn't reply a single one, I thought he was in a hurry to leave..."

The cloud of disconnection from Yining Palace came over again last time, and the sound of the explosion in the East Palace was still in my ears, Siqing shook her head vigorously, Yuan Lingbo tentatively said: "Your Highness, don't worry, maybe His Majesty just thinks His Highness's journey is hard? "

Siqing shook her head, "Then I wouldn't write such a letter! Is there any movement in Dijing?"

Yuan Lingbo shook his head, and Siqing asked again: "How is Your Majesty doing? Everything is normal?"

Yuan Lingbo said: "There is no news, Li Xiang wrote a letter yesterday to ask about His Highness's itinerary."

Siqing said: "This Li Yuanzhen is not very useful every time."

Yuan Lingbo asked: "Did your Highness think too much, maybe General Sun or someone sent the letter in the wrong fashion?"

Siqing shook her head again and again, and suddenly had some ominous thoughts, "Wait another day, see the letters from the past few days, whether third brother will reply."

Yuan Lingbo said: "I'll write a letter to ask Xu Tisi."

Siqing nodded, and Yunchu replaced it with white fungus soup, "Miss, calm down."

Si Qing said: "Why did third brother use such a letter to ask me to go north? Is there going to be an accident going south from Anyi?"

Siqing waited for a day, but did not wait for another reply from Xiao Yi, but received another vague letter, this time even more outrageous, which read "August [-]th to Daming Mansion".Jumping directly from Nanzhili to Shandong, Siqing felt that the clouds were in the fog, so she asked Yuan Lingbo: "Our original itinerary is to Weiyang on the first day of August, isn't it?"

Yuan Lingbo said: "Your Highness is right."

Si Qing asked again: "According to His Majesty's itinerary, the next checkpoint is Junzhou? Have you received any news from Junzhou today?"

Yuan Lingbo shook his head, and Siqing sighed while holding the vague letter: "We also have to arrive in Weiyang before July [-]th. Although I don't know the specific reason why His Majesty changed the itinerary, I think since writing this letter The letter just wants to remind me of something."

Yuan Lingbo asked: "Didn't Your Majesty invite His Highness to return to Beijing?"

Si Qing shook her head, "No, I can't go like this. Why did Your Majesty give up contacting the nearest whistle and send me a letter alone? It's more secure to go to the Jingwei sentry and the letter will not be lost."

Siqing made up her mind to go to Weiyang as soon as possible, but before she could figure out how to go, she received an urgent letter from Xu Huaimin and Li Yuanzhen that night, saying that she had left Dajia today, but she did not stop at Junzhou sentry along the way Contact Jiangnan Si secretly.Siqing thought about it and didn't know what Xiao Yi was going to do, so he said: "Our fleet's itinerary remains unchanged, and we will still go to Weiyang as originally scheduled on the first day of August. Let's go alone, and we have to enter Weiyang on July [-]th. In the city." While talking, Siqing wrote a letter to Shen Jiangdong and his wife through the military guards of the government, telling them the information they had obtained so far, and writing a letter to communicate with Yining Palace, asking Yining Palace to take good care of the East Palace.Fortunately, King Duan was seriously ill, so the clan should not jump too high this time.But the last time Yining and Dijing had an accident at the same time, this time we can't take it lightly.

Yuan Lingbo said: "Xu Tisi must have gone all out in the north of Junzhou..." Siqing shook her head, "July [-]th is coming, let's go alone, time is not too tight."

Yuan Lingbo realized something, "Your Highness means..."

"I'll go to Weiyang to meet you in advance," Siqing said, "I won't sit here and wait for death. Your Majesty left Dajia suddenly, who knows if it's the same as what happened in Yining last time?"

Yuan Lingbo wanted to persuade, Siqing said: "I know, it's useless for me to go, there are Fu Junwei and Jiangnan Division, if I go, it may cause chaos. But how can I sit here? Our boat is still like this Go on, I'll go alone, but at the official post, I'll change boats and horses at the Jingwei post, and I'll leave tonight."

Yun Chu persuaded: "It's too dangerous, Miss, you have to think about Dijing."

Siqing shook her head, "It's okay, I've walked this road too."

Yuan Lingbo said: "Why don't you turn around and go north to Daming Mansion to wait for His Majesty?"

Si Qing said: "This letter is obviously to lead me to go north immediately, the more it is like this, the more worried I am."

Yuan Lingbo knew that he couldn't persuade him deeply, "I will accompany His Highness down."

Siqing still shook her head, "The fewer people leave, the less likely it is to be discovered. The news of my departure must be blocked, and we must not spread it among our group."

Yun Chu said: "Ling Bo is often outside the cabin, and it's too conspicuous to disappear all of a sudden. I often accompany the girl in the cabin, and it's not very common to go outside the cabin, so let me go with the girl."

Yuan Lingbo said: "It's better for Yunchu and I to keep one. His Highness can say that he sent me to Liudu to assist Xu Tisi. I can leave in a fair and honest manner."

Siqing pondered for a moment, "Lingbo, come with me. But it's not easy to hide my absence on the boat." She shook Yunchu's hand, "If you are discovered, don't be nervous, I will leave a handwritten letter, They said that I had returned to Beijing early due to illness, and I didn’t want to make it public, so I didn’t say anything. Of course, it’s best not to be discovered.”

Siqing wrote Jiang Feng a last letter before disembarking, telling her that she would leave and enter Weiyang Realm around July [-]th.The fleet was still moving slowly at night, and a small boat carrying Yuan Lingbo, who was neatly dressed and standing upright, and Siqing, who was huddled with Yuan Lingbo’s luggage, quietly left the fleet under the moonlight, and the boat slid out. After a while, I saw the fleet go away and berth on the bank of the Cao River.

Tonight, the full moon is bright and the breeze is breezy. Night is the most comfortable time for Futian, and Siqing doesn't feel tired at all.The two of them abandoned the boat and disembarked at a small pier. The terrain here is open, and the gate of Anyi City can already be seen, and it is only two miles away from Anyi.Yuan Lingbo said: "Too bad, there is no guidance from His Highness."

Only then did Siqing realize that she hadn't left the imperial capital for a long time, and even if she did, she would only go to the outskirts of the capital, and she even forgot about the need for an introduction to live in a hotel, so she said: "Since Anyi has a whistle, after entering the city Tell their people to do it." In the middle of the night, the city gate was about to be closed, and the two hurried on their way, trying to use Yuan Lingbo's way to lure fish in troubled waters into the city before the closed city gate.

Unexpectedly, the gate of the city was closed early, and neither of them entered.Fortunately, there are also some shops near the river outside the city, and the two should have stayed in the shops, but who knew that because the Empress Feng drove across the border, all the townspeople were summoned to "guard" with the government, and the several inns were full.In addition, Siqing didn't have an introduction, and staying in the hotel would take a lot of talking, which would easily attract suspicion, so the two found a secluded alley, where the lights were dark, and only two drunk men strolled past with their arms crossed. , The two jumped to the roof and sat watching the moon.

Siqing looked at Yuan Lingbo, who was dressed casually, and said, "I think there is something that maybe I shouldn't mention it now. But if I don't mention it, I feel that we have a knot in our hearts, and it will be awkward to walk this way. Do you want me to talk about it?" ?”

Yuan Lingbo said: "Your Highness..."

"Don't call me Your Highness," Si Qing said, "It's easy to get into trouble."

Yuan Lingbo lowered his head and said in a low voice, "What do you want to say, Miss?"

Siqing smiled, "The people around me are all from the Ye family with me, except you."

Yuan Lingbo bit the bullet and said: "It's all the kindness of His Highness..."

"Call me Your Highness again," Siqing said helplessly, "There is no need to talk empty words. I will say it directly. You said that your biological father was on the Caohe River before, and later sold you to a family, and this family asked you to replace your biological father." Your daughter chooses a palace lady, you just entered the palace, right?"

Yuan Lingbo said in a deep voice: "You have already asked this, then you will know it is wrong..."

Siqing asked a question, "Why doesn't Ji Shu recognize you?"

Yuan Lingbo was startled, and Siqing smiled and said, "There are people from the He family beside me." But her smile disappeared immediately, "But it's not Lu Chu, it's you. You are from Taizhou, and you are also from He Shizhi , so you can rescue Ji Shuze's mother in Taizhou."

Yuan Lingbo was shocked, "Your Highness knows..."

Siqing smiled, "Why did you admit it so quickly? I don't understand, why did you betray the He family?"

Yuan Lingbo said: "Your Highness believes that I have betrayed the He family?"

"Of course," Siqing said, "the time I was assassinated by Ning Shouhou in the suburbs of Beijing, if you were from the He family, you should have killed me instead of saving me. My informant doesn't know who leaked my itinerary when Ning Shouhou killed me, but I believe that the person who leaked my itinerary must not be you."

Yuan Lingbo lowered his head, and finally said after a long while: "Since Your Highness already knows, this servant can't continue to hide it. It's the fault of this servant who didn't tell His Highness the truth."

Siqing asked: "Then now, are you willing to tell me the truth?"

Yuan Lingbo nodded, "My father was originally a tenant, but he had to pay rent to the owner and food to the prince. He couldn't survive, and later he became a water thief on the Cao River. When I was young, my mother passed away. I followed my dad around Caohe. My dad thought I was shameless, so he told me about his marriage when I was 14 years old. When I was 15, his father got sick and said it was my fault, so I was sold by the other party. The He family was the daughter-in-law. Later, the He family chose me and sent me north to enter the palace, and originally planned to go to Concubine Ning. But Concubine Ning was gone, and I was floating in the palace, and later His Royal Highness took a fancy to me."

Siqing asked: "Then, when you came to my side, what did the He family ask you to do? Kill me?"

Yuan Lingbo said frankly: "Not long after I came to Your Highness, Mrs. Ning Shouhou found me and lured me to be the insider of the He family, but I refused. Whether His Highness believes it or not, the He family is looking for me." , just this once."

"After you went to the military guard, they didn't look for you?" Si Qing asked.

Yuan Lingbo said: "I went to the Fujunwei, and His Highness asked me to go to Taizhou to watch over the He family. To be honest, although I don't want to be an insider of the He family, I feel that going to Taizhou to watch over the He family is not a good job." .I didn't want to go, but I didn't have room to refuse. When I went to Jiangnan, the first thing I did was not to follow His Highness's orders, but to go to my father. As a result..." She lowered her head again, " As a result, my father heard that I was betrayed that year, so he beat up the family that sold me, and then went to the He family to find me, and there was a conflict at the He family, and he was killed by the He family."

She said these words slowly, but Si Qing didn't expect it, she didn't react, she just heard her continue: "From that day on, I will do my best to do what His Highness ordered, because I also want to Let the family die and avenge my father." She pondered for a moment, "As for Ji Shuze, I really hadn't seen her in He's house before that. Maybe it's because I've been in Taizhou for a long time, and I went in after only two days in Beijing. The palace is gone."

Siqing didn't speak for a while, she broke off a willow stick and twirled it in her hand, "Actually, Lu Chu's story is a bit similar to yours. She was going to marry her cousin, but the Ye family took a fancy to her, so she was forced to follow along." I came to the palace. Others will say that it is because of this that she holds a grudge and wants to harm me, but I don't believe it." Si Qing paused, "You are not an informant of the He family, and I believe that Lu Chu is not either. But I can't figure out why she confessed, why she wanted to kill herself, who is threatening her?"

Yuan Lingbo said in a low voice: "After His Highness was injured that autumn, Sister Lingzhen and I went to Nanshan for half a month. When we came back, Lu Chu was gone. I don't believe that she would betray His Highness."

Siqing nodded, "Let's check slowly."

Yuan Lingbo asked: "Why does Your Highness insist on going to Weiyang in advance?"

Siqing smiled, "If it was your sister Lingzhen or sister Yunchu, they wouldn't ask me such a question."

Yuan Lingbo said: "If His Majesty's whereabouts are really unknown like last time, His Highness will return to the Imperial Capital to advance and retreat."

Siqing smiled, "I told you, don't call me Your Highness again."

After daybreak, Yuan Lingbo went into the city to find the secret line of the military guards of the government, got road guides and horses, and sent a letter to the imperial capital.Siqing and Yuan Lingbo officially embarked on the road to Weiyang.Siqing and Yuan Lingbo discussed it, and felt that the two girls' ostentatious walk would attract suspicion, so Siqing wore a dark-colored baotou, wore a dark-colored dress, dressed like an old lady, and Guo Anyi bought it. An old medical box, with a bell on it, pretending to be a traveling doctor.
