A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 64 Forbidden Court (64)
Riding on a tall horse, wearing a black fox cloak, half of the face is covered by the fox fur, only a pair of deep eyes can be seen. (3)
There was a conflict in the downtown area that attracted attention, and Ban Zhi also wanted to resolve it quickly.After all, it was a woman, lacking in melee combat strength, and gradually weakened after injuring a few people, and was finally thrown to the ground.

Women are also as stubborn as cows. They refuse to accept and want to turn over and fight again, but their throats are held by the long sword.The leader said in a cold voice: "I don't want to take your lives, I haven't got your Majesty's order. We must take away the Miao Nei people. If Immortal Master Wuzhen wants to please someone, please face Your Majesty directly." He waved his sleeves and ordered the troops to withdraw.

Chunwo yelled loudly to tell them not to do anything, but they didn't listen, and finally got into such a mess that she broke her stomach in a hurry.The left and right squads escorted her to the direction of the head of the army. She reluctantly turned her head and said loudly: "Take care of the princess, and I will entrust it to you in the future."

Aunt Jin and Brother Fo choked out of control and tried to catch up, but they were stopped by the people behind them.

"Do you want to go head-to-head with Yulong? If you continue to fight, you will die!"

They turned around and saw that Cui Zhuzi was standing not far away. They cried when they saw him, "Mr. Cui, Mother Chun was taken away by them, how can we explain to the princess when we go back?"

Cui Zhuyu told them to go to a place where there were few people, and said in a low voice: "The officials of the court support the noble concubine as the empress. The last time the noble concubine stabbed the saint and the two poisoning incidents should be thoroughly investigated together. Chunwo will definitely be a substitute if he is brought back. Sinful lamb. Hurry up and go back to Yaohua Palace to tell the saint, let her find a way to intercede, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Aunt Jin hurriedly said hello, without bothering to ask him why he was here, and hurried back to Yaohua Palace with Brother Fo.

Yun Hua was lying on the cot, listening to the cries of ring cake vendors outside, and was falling asleep, when suddenly the door of the temple was knocked, and the noise was astonishingly loud.Usually this kind of situation is not a good thing, her heart was beating suddenly, she didn't even put on her shoes, she ran to open the door with her bare feet.Taking advantage of the light, Aunt Jin and Brother Fo had bruises and purple spots on their faces, it was clear that they had just fought with human weapons.She hurriedly asked what was wrong, "How did you make it look like this? Where's the wet nurse?"

Brother Fo cried: "Mother Chun was taken away by Yulongzhi's people. Aunt Jin and I planned to rob her, so we fought with them. It's a pity that they are so many people that we can't save Mother Chun. Later, I happened to meet Mr. Cui Mr. Cui asked us to report to the princess. After all the ministers in the court recommended the noble concubine as the new imperial concubine, the officials will re-examine the previous cases. I am afraid that Mama Chun will be used as a knife. The princess must find a way to go to the palace to meet the officials, otherwise Mama Chun will have It's dangerous."

She almost fainted after hearing this, now she is locked in Yaohua Palace, how can she see the official family?But Chunwo was taken away, and she was so anxious that she wanted to go crazy, so she raised her robe and rushed towards the palace gate.But there were guards guarding the door, so it was useless for her to cry and beg.After arguing for a while, I was exhausted, and suddenly found that I was extremely tired. I would have listened to Chunwo's words and escaped from Yaohua Palace.She hopes to live a quiet life, but there are always so many things, and she doesn't know when it will be the end.

They didn't let her go out, so she squatted in front of the palace gate and wept bitterly.The new wind is wild and strong, blowing on people like knives.Seeing that there was no hope, Aunt Jin stepped forward to help her, and said in a low voice: "Princess, don't catch a cold, it's almost three o'clock, and there is still a little while before dawn. Let's go back and make a long-term plan."

She was helped back to the palace by them, but she couldn't sit still, she was spinning around in the center of the earth, crying and said: "He promised not to move the wet nurse, why is it not worth talking? You can see clearly, it is Yulongzhi people?"

Brother Fo said yes, "Based on their attire and belt badges, there is no doubt that they are Yulongzhi."

There are many classifications of classes, such as Nei Dian Zhi, Golden Spear Class, Dongxi Class, Jun Rong Zhi, Gu Duo Zi Zhi... Among them, Yulong Zhi is the most important one for officials.These people are ruthless, as long as they give an order today, they would even dare to kill their own family members, let alone a Chunwo.

It was freezing cold, her teeth were chattering, her body was surprisingly cold, but her face was hot.There was a thunderous sound in his head, and there was only one question that was repeated, how can I see the official family?It's just that he broke his promise, such a person really can no longer be trusted.It's a pity that in the past, the beauty of being with him was far better than Yunguan.She pinned all her enthusiasm on him, and only now did she realize that this kind of pinning is the stupidest.For his country and to achieve his goal, he will risk everything, including those vows.

"Tomorrow is the winter solstice, and he should watch the ceremony at Xuande Gate." She suddenly remembered, and immediately had a goal, "I will find a way to go out, and I will definitely see him there."

Aunt Jin said: "We distracted the garrison at the gate of the palace, and the princess took the opportunity to run outside. It's just that Yaohua Palace is more than ten miles away from Da Nei, and the princess has no carriages and horses, so I'm afraid it will take a long time to walk."

She said: "I can't control it anymore. I don't know what's going on with Chunwo. I have a bad feeling. Did the officials deliberately punish Chunwo after deposing me... .But why did he want to arrest her? Didn't the army have already been raised, what else do we need to use as a raft?"

Brother Fo thought about it, pulled the wound on his face, and it hurt a little.She grinned, "Maybe the officials have changed their minds. In order to form an alliance with Wurong, they really plan to register as a noble concubine."

She leaned her back against the wall in a daze, the chill from the wall permeated into her clothes, and her vest was icy cold.He said that the imperial concubine will never be a queen, is he going to be overthrown now?She was a little disappointed and angry, no matter who he made queen, it didn't matter to her.He shouldn't touch Chunwo, since he promised her last time, he should keep his word.

She calmed down, no matter what, she would sacrifice her face to beg him again.Although it feels humiliating, but for the sake of Chunwo, I have to bite the bullet and try.

"At the fifth watch, the imperial guards change shifts, so get out before the shift." She opened the box, took out a dagger from the jewelry box and tucked it around her waist, "I'm going to wrong you later, I'm afraid those imperial guards will arrest you , I will try to rescue you after I see the officials. I will take this knife with me, and if they stop me, I will show them to death."

Aunt Jin said: "Princess, you must not hurt yourself. It doesn't matter to the servant girls. Even if they catch us, they don't dare to do anything to us without orders. The princess just walks out of the palace gate and goes to the southwest. The servant girls can't escort us." You, you must be careful."

She nodded and said good, "I was doing a show in Yaohua Palace, maybe I could coax him here, but Chunwo can't wait that long... Besides, I am not so sure anymore. If he still has me in his heart, It may be useful for me to cry here. Now that he has taken Chunwo, he probably will not hesitate to turn against me. What I do will be in vain. I don’t know if it is useful to go to the Forbidden Court to see him, let’s treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!"

She spoke so sadly that Aunt Jin and Brother Fo couldn't comfort her.People are always growing in difficulties, and no one can guarantee that they will not be shaken for a lifetime.Once loved, but when love and power are compared together, love is often vulnerable.She has no confidence and is helpless, and gradually realizes that she is not very important, and it is more difficult to accept, but she still has to accept her fate.

"King Ning is not dead, the officials may still have the intention to fight for it. Now that King Ning is gone, he doesn't take the princess seriously. Men are really unreliable." Brother Fo couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.

Aunt Jin was giving her medicine, and when she heard her muttering, she poked hard on the bruise as a punishment.She breathed in a hiss, followed Aunt Jin's line of sight to see that Minhua was sitting on the bed wiping tears, the sleeves of her Taoist robe were wet, and the pain in her heart was difficult for others to understand.

After the third watch, people are the most tired. When it is about five watch, they look forward to changing shifts, and their spirits relax.Aunt Jin and Brother Fo were defeated in a one-on-four fight with Yulongzhi, but it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with a few forbidden troops.Yunhua lifted up his robe, got into the firewood room and lit a fire. When the fire gradually lit up, the Taoist nuns in Yaohua Palace panicked, and even the imperial guards outside were distracted.The fire was raging, and the wind was strong, and it tended to spread. She came forward to mobilize the manpower, and the guards guarding the gate had to participate in the fire fighting. This way, the resistance to go out was much smaller.

People are all forced out. In the past, they had to be supported even to cross a threshold, but now they can climb over walls and get out of corners with a short body.It was just that she was discovered in the end, Auntie Jin and Brother Fo cleared her way, but she didn't look back, she gritted her teeth and ran all the way.The wind was whistling in my ears, and it was so cold that I was almost out of breath.The sound of chasing footsteps gradually approached, but fortunately it was not yet dawn, so she jumped into the ditch beside the road, waited for them to pass, then climbed up and continued on.

However, the Forbidden Court is very far away, and it takes ten miles just to bypass Gen Yue.She was anxious, at first she was able to run, but then she gradually lost her strength, the cold air came in, her chest hurt, but she didn't dare to stop.She misses Chunwo, and is afraid that something will happen to her. She has no relatives, no backer to rely on, and only Chunwo is close to her heart.So even if she dies, she must be retrieved. If the officials really want to make a noble concubine, she can confess all the crimes in the Zichen Palace, and she is not afraid of death, as long as Chunwo lives.

She was crying as she walked, her face was so cold that she couldn't feel it, and she tucked her hands in, and her hands were also cold.As the sky was getting brighter, pedestrians began to look sideways at her when they saw her.She knew how weird a female Taoist priest with disheveled hair and muddy body looked. She used to love beauty, but she never dared to see people like this. Now, she doesn't care about anything, because there is no capital for beauty.

One foot deep and one foot shallow, the walk was extremely difficult, and the imperial city was still far away.She has never traveled such a long distance alone in her life, and the current situation is sad to think about.There is no time to worry about spring and autumn, she has to walk faster, the official family will have a chance at Xuande Gate, once he returns to the prison, it will be too late.

A flat-headed car caught up behind him, and the person holding the whip was a middle-aged man in his 30s, wearing a short jacket and trousers, with a gray face, but small and focused eyes.Seeing her take the initiative to strike up a conversation, "Where is the female crown going? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

She was still wary of strangers, thanked her and said no, and still walked alone.

She was born as beautiful as a flower, even though she was covered in dirt, her brilliance was still shining.The common man probably saw her alone, a little bit of intention to take advantage of her, the mule cart was driving neither fast nor slow, and followed him like a shadow, laughing as he drove, "The female crown is so red when she walks away, why bother! Come and sit on the big brother's seat Let’s drive, I’ll take you there if you’re going to Tianbian today, it’s my merit.”

His tone was aggressive, and she gave him a hard look, "I'm going to Xuandemen, can you take me there?"

The man said, "Do you want to see the elephant carriage? The female crown is really interesting. I rolled all over in mud just to see the elephant carriage? The eldest brother's house is not far from here. Come back with me and change your clothes. It's not too late."

She was too lazy to deal with him, but he overtook the car and lay in the middle of the road.She was afraid, such a stranger didn't know what to do.He jumped out of the car, grinned, with scorched teeth, "Come on, girl, it's too dangerous for a person like you to walk on the road, you need someone to protect you..."

The good words didn't come out, and Ban Zhi who was rushed over kicked him to the side of the road.Riding on a tall horse, wearing a black fox cloak, half of the face is covered by the fox fur, only a pair of deep eyes can be seen.Get off the horse, and said angrily: "What are you doing? Set fire to escape from Yaohua Palace, and make yourself look like this!"

While blaming her, she stared at her with frowned eyebrows. She was wearing a thin Taoist robe in the cold winter, her neck was exposed, and she was faintly red from the cold.Seeing her in such a miserable situation, the anger when she received the notification has long since disappeared, and she thought to herself that she missed him, so she ran out of Yaohua Palace.As I comforted myself, another feeling came to my heart.After all, we haven't seen each other for half a month, if she has the slightest affection for him, it's normal for her to miss him.He was actually a little happy, as long as she spoke, he even planned to find a way to get her back into the prison.

But she stared at a pair of big terrified eyes, grabbed his sleeve and asked: "Guan, where is my nanny? Where is my nanny?"

He didn't know what she was talking about, and he didn't answer.Taking off the crane cloak to wrap her around her, the person who was molesting her in the ditch was frightened. He said "Kill" in a low voice, and then carried her on the horseback.

She was shivering all the way, but he put his hand through the front of the cloak and put it on her vest, at least it could warm her.

She kept asking him "Where is the wet nurse?" It seemed that the Miao Nei people were lost and asked for someone.He frowned, "I don't know the whereabouts of your wet nurse."

She said sharply: "You are talking nonsense! The wet nurse was obviously taken away by Yu Longzhi, and it was at the ghost market last night, how could you not know?"

This matter is strange to say, Yu Longzhi will not be sent abroad easily, and he has never issued such an order, how could he take away her wet nurse?But seeing that she didn't look like she was acting, she said: "Today there is a grand ceremony for offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, I won't be able to find time for a while, I'll talk about it when I'm done."

She said no, "I want a nurse, and I can't wait for a moment." After saying that, big tears rolled down.

He had no choice but to give in, "Since that's the case, I'll order someone to go to the two divisions to investigate first. You wait for me in Rouyi Hall, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. After I come back, I will do this for you."

She was very upset, and had no other choice, so she nodded in agreement.

Qin Rang rubbed his hands aside, "Saint, at least change the clothes on your body, isn't it uncomfortable?"

She sat on the low couch and shook her head, she didn't care about these things at the moment, she was thinking about Chunwo, she didn't know where she was, and the officials said they didn't know, did she just disappear like this?She turned her head and asked him, "Master Zhong, how long will it take for the official family to sacrifice to heaven and earth?"

Qin Rang was dumbfounded by her title, "Why is a saint called a minister Zhonggui? You are a forbidden person, and only outsiders call your servants Zhonggui... The procedure for offering sacrifices to heaven and earth is not complicated, but the pre-sacrifice preparations are cumbersome. I have already fasted for seven days. I pray at the altar today. I guess it will be over in an hour. After that, I will go to Guangsheng Palace to pay homage to the ancestors. It may take a while. But don’t worry, the saint. The koi has been released, the previous dynasty is still safe, the saint is here, and the news will not be leaked."

She hung her head, listless.Now he is like a street mouse, the days of swaggering in the past are gone forever, and if he returns to the palace, the Queen Mother will definitely punish him if he finds out.These are actually secondary. Now that she is full of courage, she is so desperate that she is not afraid of anything.She just looked out and murmured: "Why haven't the people sent out come back? Have you found any news!"

Qin Rang said: "Don't worry, sage. Yulong is just outside the three south gates of the palace city. It's a long way from here. I've already ordered them to hurry up. They shouldn't be back soon." He said with a smile. "As soon as the gate of the palace opened this morning, the imperial guards of Yaohua Palace begged to see the officials, saying that the immortal master was lost, and made the officials sweat profusely. Fortunately, I found it, otherwise Bianliang City would be turned upside down. The saint can rest assured that if the Miao Nei people were really arrested by Yulong, there will be nothing wrong with the officials."

He talked about a saint, and she felt ironic, "I'm no longer a queen, don't call me a saint anymore."

Qin Rang was very stubborn, "Others don't know, but the minister knows. The officials are busy with the war, and placing the saint in the Yaohua Palace is a way to get the best of both worlds. If it is abolished, it can be re-established. For an overlord like the official Nothing is impossible, the saint just needs to hold back and take good care of himself. In fact, the government also has difficulties, who would not be sad if it changes. The saint, please be more lenient, standing on the position of the government, you can understand his heart."

So she didn't resent him before, she was in the middle of the game, no matter how handy she was, there were times when she couldn't take care of him.What's more, she can also understand that he just followed the trend and finally realized his dream of unifying the world.An emperor, after all, has different feelings from ordinary people.He can love, but he must love with restraint and ease.Up to now, she still feels that the marriage between the two countries is worthwhile. The only regret is that they are not suitable for each other, and he cannot provide the love she desires.

She doesn't talk because it's useless to talk too much.When the conflict has reached this level, it cannot be resolved with a few words of persuasion.

She got up and went to the front hall, stood in the warm sunshine and looked at the gate of Funing Palace, only to see that the Tianjie Street was empty and there was no one.
