Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 307 Entering the Palace, Framed (4)
After eating and drinking enough, they went back to their respective rooms. Ling Feng and the others had already bought a foal and came back. Zhang Xiaocao couldn't wait to follow them to the stable to have a look. Although it was a foal, it was actually a mare. It's a bit small in size, but it's more than enough for her.

The pony's shiny fur is very beautiful, especially the eyes are very soft, looking very honest, but whether it is really honest, you will have to ride tomorrow to know, Zhang Xiaocao is looking forward to it!
After a good night's sleep, the next day will be dawn. After breakfast, the group of people started to pack their things and go on the road. For Zhang Xiaocao, who can't ride a horse, he wants to ride a horse. With Ling Feng and others guarding him, he went away worrying, and readily agreed, the little girl looked so pitiful yesterday!

It was Zhang Xiaocao's first time riding a horse, and she was still a little scared, but she gradually got used to the pony's steady pace, no more motion sickness and vomiting, and she was able to enjoy the scenery again, she was in an exceptionally good mood!
After traveling in this way for more than ten days, when the capital could be reached by crossing another state capital, the weather was not good, and a heavy snow fell at night, blocking the way forward!

In ancient times, it was almost all asphalt or cement roads. Every time there was heavy snow blocking the roads, there would be troops to clear the snow. This place is not so good, almost all the roads are dirt roads, and the better parts are gravel roads, but there are still some desolate roads along the way. There are hills and hills in the land, if one is not careful, the carriage will slip, or fall into a pit because the road cannot be seen, it will be very troublesome, so it is not suitable to drive in snowy weather!
The windbreaker stood on the corridor, looking at the place in sight, the white snow, and the snowflakes falling slowly, he felt a little worried, if the snow kept falling like this, he might not be able to reach the capital in another month. The period of January is less than ten days!
Zhang Xiaocao is wearing a thick cotton padded jacket, a rabbit fur coat, rabbit fur gloves on her hands, and a rabbit fur hat on her head. There are a lot of rabbit furs at home. Although the rabbit skin is gray, it has a moist luster after being peeled, not to mention that it is rolled with fine wool, which is not rustic at all!
She swayed over like a rabbit, looking at the snow-white world, she was in a great mood!

She really wanted to rest and ride without getting dizzy or vomiting, but her buttocks and inner thighs were very uncomfortable, red and swollen. Although she was almost used to it, traveling was also very tiring!
Seeing the worry on Feng Yi's face, he asked, "Are you worried that you won't be able to reach the capital within ten days? But it shouldn't matter, since we didn't delay on purpose. Could the emperor still blame you?"

The windbreaker turned his head to look at the fluffy little girl who looked like a fat mole. His palms were a little itchy, and he unconsciously reached out to touch her head and smiled, "It's not intentional, but if you don't arrive on time, it's a crime." The Holy Majesty will be lenient and considerate of the crime of resisting the decree or despising the imperial power, but it will give some people an excuse to attack, and the Holy Majesty will not be partial to anyone at that time!"

Zhang Xiaocao nodded understandingly. In the officialdom, there are intrigues and intrigues, especially when he is a popular person around the emperor. There are only a lot of political enemies, and there are even more jealous ones. Naturally, one must be careful and not leave any clues, otherwise others will sue him. His crime of contempt for imperial power is enough trouble for him!
"Then what should we do now? Continue on our way?"

The words of the windbreaker warned her that the imperial power was supreme in ancient times, so she had to be more careful!

Seeing that she had something to do, Feng Yi nodded, feeling even more fond in his heart!
"I have already sent people to explore the road. If there is no accident, take a day off today and continue moving forward tomorrow morning!"

Sure enough, when it was getting dark, a small group of guards who went to explore the road came back. The road conditions are not bad, so if you are careful, there will be no problem.

Just like that, a group of people walked with difficulty in the knee-deep snow. Riding horses was a little better, but the carriage was not good, and would get stuck in the snow from time to time, so Feng Yi decisively gave orders, leaving the father-in-law in Jinyi and a few others to wait. People who can ride horses and have no horses to ride slowly walked behind, so he took Zhang Xiaocao first, so as not to delay the trip!
After walking like this for three full days, the snow gradually stopped and the sun came out. After another two days, the snow on the road almost completely melted, and there were only five days left in one month.

At noon that day, the team was resting in an open space to replenish water and food. Zhang Xiaocao ate some hard steamed buns and asked the windbreaker beside him: "How far is it? Will five days be enough?"

Feng Yi swallowed the dry and difficult-to-swallow steamed buns with the help of water, and said, "If you hurry up and hurry at night, you can get there!"

Zhang Xiaocao wailed silently. She was very tired these few days, and she had to sleep well at night to be able to continue her journey the next day. Now that she had to leave at night, she felt that she had lost a lot of weight!
Now she resents the certain emperor who summoned her extremely!

But no matter what, the road must be rushed. Finally, in this difficult environment, on the afternoon of the deadline, the capital city was finally in sight!
Before dark, they finally arrived at the last station. After Feng Yi arranged for her, he asked the station master to take good care of them, and then left in a hurry!

Zhang Xiaocao guessed that he had returned to the emperor!

That night, she put all her energy into it, ate a good meal, washed up hastily, immediately turned on the bed, and soon fell asleep!
Now it is the twentieth of the winter month, the moon has not yet risen, and the sky is dark!
In an inconspicuous inn not far from the post station, a young man in ordinary clothes came at this time. He said something to the shopkeeper and took out another thing. The shopkeeper hurriedly took him away respectfully. Got the best room on the third floor!

The people in the room were vigilant when they heard someone approaching, they guessed who was coming, and opened the door before anyone knocked.

"Come in!"

The young man walked in without saying a word, and closed the door behind him!

"My lord, the girl has already rested, and Lingyun and Lingyu are watching over her!"

The young man was the modified Ling Feng who quietly came out of the station!
The son he was talking about was naturally Lin Zhaoyuan. He secretly followed along the way, but arrived in the capital one step earlier than them to deal with some matters!
At this moment, Lin Zhaoyuan was wearing an ordinary blue cotton jacket, with a calm expression on his face, he nodded to Ling Feng, motioning Ling Feng to sit down and say!

"How was the journey?"

He didn't dare to get too close, for fear of being discovered by the hidden guards secretly protecting Feng Yi and the others, so he didn't know how it would be!
Ling Feng knew who he was asking, and said, "The girl is alright, she just lost weight!"

Lin Zhaoyuan frowned slightly, and then calmed down: "This time in the capital, there are many people staring at her, you have to be careful, those few people will not directly catch the opponent, but with their identities, as long as they show up a little Give out some information, and many people will be willing to work for them, so, apart from going to the palace to meet that one, you should guard her carefully and try not to let her go out!"
