The county owner is happy, and the scenery is remarried

Chapter 207 Trap?

"The lady has seen him before, he is the boy who guarded Yuan Tianshi's door! The boy who didn't let the lady come in to see Yuan Tianshi at first!" Mei Xiang said with a smile.

Xiao Yuzhuo's face froze immediately.

In order to match Shiwu Niang and Ji Wang's marriage, she followed Jing Yannian to Mingjue Temple.

Hearing that Yuan Tianshi is powerful, she wanted to pay a visit.

There was a young boy blocking the way at the door, didn't Mei Xiang quarrel with that boy?
At that time, the little boy was so noisy that his face was red.

Never thought that the little boy has become so tall and tall now.

"Could he be Yuan Tianshi's eldest disciple?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked, her voice trembled slightly, but she didn't realize it.

At the beginning, Chongwu set fire to the academy and burned down the dormitories of three students.

There was also an explosion in the dormitory.

The words of the three students are still in my ears, "Master talked to the senior brother, saying that the princess is a lonely ghost, an evil spirit, and can't be extinguished without burning..."

"When he followed Yuan Tianshi, Yuan Tianshi was already full of white hair, but he seems to be quite respected by Yuan Tianshi. Yuan Tianshi only took him with him when he traveled the world to experience, maybe he is the eldest disciple?" Mei Xiang said.

When Xiao Yuzhuo heard this, his whole body turned cold.

Really!
"The eldest disciple of Tianshi Yuan came to Chang'an City, so did Tianshi Yuan also..."

"What's the matter with you, lady?" Ju Xiang was careful, and immediately noticed Xiao Yuzhuo's complexion.

Xiao Yuzhuo twitched the corners of his mouth, "I'm fine...it's just that it's a little unexpected that this practitioner has become a guest of Chongwu."

"Tianshi Yuan should have come too. That young man followed Tianshi Yuan and stayed close to him. Now that he is beside His Highness the Crown Prince, that is what His Majesty thinks highly of! Ladies, don't worry too much!" Mei Xiang said with a smile.

Xiao Yuzhuo said vaguely, "It's chaos if you care about it."

Hearing that Zhou Changkang took the young man to see Baiji, he left Yufu.

Her heart was never calm, but became more and more uneasy.

The words of those three students are always lingering in my ears, lingering.

Back then in Mingjue Temple, Yuan Tianshi had seen through her origin at every level.

Now that Li Tai has succeeded to the throne, he suddenly appeared in Chang'an with his eldest disciple... Will he tell Li Tai that she is not the original princess at all?

Will Li Tai believe him?

It can't be destroyed without fire... Could it be that what awaits her is a fire?

At first, I thought everything was settled.

Just wait another three to five years, when Chongwu becomes more mature and stable, and has a solid influence, she and Jing Yannian can retire to the countryside.

She has gone through all the turmoil in her life.

I never thought that there would be waves in the plains again...

No, it's not flat ground, but there are waves again!

This is a hidden danger that has been buried long ago, but I didn't expect it to explode now...

Xiao Yuzhuo was still restless when he suddenly heard that the Holy Majesty had conferred the title of "National Teacher".

"The teacher of the state has a youthful face, he is truly an immortal!" Xiao Shiwuniang said casually when she came to Yufu to visit Xiao Yuzhuo.

Xiao Yuzhuo paused in his heart, "National teacher... is Yuan Tianshi?"

Shiwu Niang smiled and nodded, "Exactly, my sister saw him in Mingjue Temple back then..."

"Come here!" Xiao Yuzhuo called out immediately.

Fifteen Niang looked at her suspiciously.

"I would like to dedicate that auspicious fetish to the Holy Majesty, and congratulate the Holy Majesty on being awarded the 'National Teacher'." Xiao Yuzhuo said in a deep voice.

Shiwuniang was puzzled, "Didn't my sister say that we should choose a good day and auspicious day for offering this fetish?"

"Isn't it an auspicious day for the sage to be a national tutor?" Xiao Yuzhuo said with squinted eyes.

A Niang reminded me that it is really disrespectful to the Holy Majesty to own such auspiciousness that all the nobles in Chang'an City came to watch curiously.

It's fine if Li Tai doesn't care about her, if Yuan Tianshi says something bad about her, which makes Li Tai want to pull her pigtails, the fetish will be the one to take advantage of her.

Offering the fetish at this time can be regarded as her showing favor to Tianshi Yuan.

I just hope that he can understand that although he is a soul from another world, he has no ambitions.

What great things can a person who dare not even take the auspicious fetishes as his own?Can Tianshi Yuan understand her intentions?

Shiwuniang sighed, "It's a pity, that white deer is so beautiful, after entering the Royal Animal Park, you won't be able to see it often in the future."

Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his head and narrowed his eyes, "It's a fetish, it shouldn't be seen often."

After she dedicated the white deer to the Holy Majesty, she only talked to Jing Yannian in private.

Although Jing Yannian had regrets, he still patted her head dotingly, "It's good that you understand what I mean. As for the white deer, it's just a thing, and it doesn't matter who owns it."

Xiao Yuzhuo threw himself into his arms, stretched out his arms to hug his waist, "Well, I'm afraid you'll be angry, and I'm afraid you'll misunderstand."

"Yuyu, how many ups and downs have you and I gone through? How many misunderstandings were there? We are such old couples now, but I still don't understand you. Don't I feel ashamed to show my sincerity to you?" Jing Yannian's fingers passed through her. Soft blue silk.

Xiao Yuzhuo leaned on Jing Yannian's chest, listening to his steady heartbeat.

Her face was dazed. If she told Jing Yannian at this time, she was just a lonely soul... Would he still be able to say such words in such a trusting and doting tone?

Li Tai accepted the auspicious deer presented by Xiao Yuzhuo, rubbed it for two days, and then gave it to His Highness the Crown Prince.

The white deer was kept in the Prince's East Palace.

The courtiers and nobles in Chang'an City couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the Holy Majesty is so gracious to the Prince!
Such auspiciousness was given to the East Palace.

Unexpectedly, only three to five days after the auspiciousness was given to the East Palace, it was rumored that the prince fell ill.

Xiao Yuzhuo was shocked when he heard the news.

"What's wrong with Chongwu?" She asked someone to inquire.

Liu Lanxue asked Liang Sheng to inquire. Liang Gongli is still in the palace now, and he has a very good relationship with Li Tai's servants, so he can enjoy himself in the palace.

Soon the news was sent out of the palace.

"It is said that His Royal Highness is swimming, and it is still spring. Although it seems to be a little hot outside, the water is very cold, and His Royal Highness has caught the wind and cold." Liang Sheng came to Yufu and told Xiao Yuzhuo the news.

Xiao Yuzhuo's hands trembled when he heard the words, "Cold? Is he seriously ill?"

Liang Sheng frowned, seeing her worry, he seemed to want to comfort her.

But his lips twitched for a while, then he sighed softly, "I heard that he is seriously ill..."

Xiao Yuzhuo felt a chill in his heart, it is said that there is no ancient times without antibiotics, a cold can kill a person!

"Where's Juxiang? Juxiang's medical skills are good, let Juxiang go into the palace to show Chongwu!"

Liang Sheng nodded, "Lady, Your Majesty is especially concerned about His Highness the Crown Prince. He has sent more than a dozen imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to the East Palace to treat the Crown Prince. It's just that the Crown Prince's illness has not recovered for a while."

Xiao Yuzhuo's face turned pale, "Then tell Juxiang to go!"

"Many of the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital are seniors with high morals and respect." Liang Sheng said in a deep voice.

There was already a hint in his voice.

If Xiao Yuzhuo was usually calm and composed, he would definitely be able to understand his hints.

But right now Xiao Yuzhuo's mind is full of his son's safety, so he can't worry about many things.

"What's the use of just having a good reputation, just saying that they are highly respected? The key is to be able to cure diseases!" Xiao Yuzhuo said anxiously, "People don't know, shopkeeper Liang, don't you know Juxiang's medical skills? Back then..."

Liang Sheng's face was embarrassing.

When he was still in Wancheng, he was poisoned, and it was Juxiang who stripped his clothes and gave him needles to detoxify him.

For this reason, he repeatedly begged Juxiang to marry him, but Juxiang refused.

Now that Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly brought up this matter, he felt a little embarrassed.

Xiao Yuzhuo found that his face was unnatural, and immediately coughed lightly to cover up what he just said.

"I'm not questioning the Holy Majesty's heart for Chongwu, nor is it that I can't trust the medical skills of the imperial physician, but Juxiang has a lot of experience, and although she is young, maybe there is a better way?" Xiao Yuzhuo said in a deep voice.

Liang Sheng nodded again and again, "The villain understands what the lady means, but others don't necessarily understand?"

Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback.

"What is the identity of His Highness the Crown Prince? Who among the nobles in Chang'an City don't understand? Many people have long been staring at His Royal Highness King Wu and you, the Princess! Maybe there are still people who have the intention to pull the Crown Prince off his horse. Therefore, King Wu Your Highness and the princess should be more cautious in their actions, and don't give in to the truth." Liang Sheng sighed, and said clearly, "You are concerned about His Highness, of course you can. It's not impossible for you to ask Ju Xiang to heal His Highness, but you can't just Send people there so clearly."

Xiao Yuzhuo stared at Liang Sheng, "Yes, if I sent Ju Xiang directly, wouldn't I be slapping the face of the Holy Majesty and the Supreme Hospital?"

She finally calmed down and said suddenly.

"Yes, but we can't ignore it. Miss Juxiang is the princess's maid, so I asked her to enter the palace with the princess and treat His Royal Highness quietly. There is nothing wrong with that." Liang Sheng said slowly.

Xiao Yuzhuo's face froze for a moment.

No, big no!

She hasn't been to the palace since Li Tai ascended the throne.

If you miss Chongwu, ask someone to send a letter to Chongwu.

Every time Chong Wu came out from the palace to see her.

When there was no such thing as a "national teacher", she still hid from the palace.

Now Tianshi Yuan is in the palace, she bumps into it again...

What if Chong Wu got sick and lured her into the palace, set up a fire, and burned her?
"Is Chongwu really sick?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked Liang Sheng again.

Liang Sheng looked at her suspiciously, "What are you doubting, my lady?"

Xiao Yuzhuo pursed her lips. Could she say that she suspected that the national teacher wanted to burn her to death?

"nothing……"

"It's the information obtained by the adoptive father. My wife can also ask others to inquire about it." Liang Sheng said with a bow.

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, thanked Liang Sheng, and asked someone to send him out of the house.

There is no mother who does not care about her son.

Even now, Chongwu is no longer in her name. According to the genealogy, Chongwu is just her nephew.

But it was actually the flesh that fell from her body. Chong Wu fell ill, and she wished she could suffer for him.

But now call her into the palace...

What if it was a trap?

When the eldest princess heard that Chongwu had contracted typhoid fever, she immediately couldn't sit still, and directly asked the Holy Majesty to go to the East Palace to visit Chongwu.

Li Tai respected this imperial aunt very much.

Princess Dachang's current position in Chang'an City is even more favored than when Emperor Gaozong, Xiao Yuzhuo's uncle was in power.

Li Taidang even allowed her to visit the East Palace.

Xiao Yuzhuo's heart was up and down.

She wandered back and forth between the corridors of Yufu, just waiting for news from A Niang over there.

Later, she couldn't wait any longer, she even asked someone to hitch up a carriage, went to Xiao's house, and waited for A Niang to return at Xiao's house.

Wait, wait, wait...

She was even about to conclude that Chong Wu's illness was a trap.

I was afraid that A Niang would see through the trap after seeing that Chongwu was healthy, so A Niang was also detained in the palace.

But I heard the Xiao family's maid report: "The eldest princess is back!"

Xiao Yuzhuo's expression froze, he raised his eyes to look outside the door, and even forgot to go out to greet him.

The eldest princess didn't care about these things with her, but she was dissatisfied when she saw her.

"How did you become a mother? Didn't you know that Chong Wu was sick?" The eldest princess saw her and asked with a slap in the face.

Xiao Yuzhuo quickly bowed his head, "Daughter knows..."

"I know? What did Chong Wu say, you haven't visited him in the East Palace yet? Is it because you don't think of him as your son anymore? He's still a child! Lying on the bed, fever repeatedly, his little face is red but her lips are pale and lacking in color! You, your mother deserves..."

The eldest princess became more and more angry as she talked.

Xiao Yuzhuo hummed, "Is Chongwu really sick?"

The Eldest Princess rolled her eyes, "You used to be brave and resourceful, why are you becoming more cowardly now that you're getting older? The more you live, the more you go back?"

Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his head and frowned.

Who can she tell her concerns?

If she said that she is not the princess, but a solitary soul occupying the body of the princess, and no one else needs to do it, the eldest princess will be the first to cut her off, right?

"Aniang, I know, I'm going to ask the sage..." Xiao Yuzhuo bid farewell to the Eldest Princess and left the Xiao family.

She said to ask the Holy Spirit, but she didn't ask immediately.

Instead, he returned to Yufu first.

Chongwu was really sick, how could it be so coincidental at this time?
He has always been in good health, but Yuan Tianshi just came to Chang'an and was appointed a national teacher, so he fell ill?
Xiao Yuzhuo was still uneasy.

Day thinking, night dreaming.

She had a horrible but real dream that night.

In the dream, the fire was shining in the sky, and she was firmly tied up, and she was framed in the fire.

The fire took advantage of the wind and burned from the outside to the inside.

The tongue of fire licked her legs and feet, and set fire to her dress.

Burning pain, licking her face.

She screamed at the tinder in pain.

That shrill sound was hardly something a human could make.

Heartbreaking...

The burning pain is simply unimaginable...

Usually scalding with hot water, the flames will burn the fingertips, and it will still hurt for a long time.

But at this time, her whole body was wrapped in the fire.

In an instant, all the clothes on her body were burned.

The silk was burned and melted, and the pain sticking to her flesh caused her to die of pain.

She even asked about the smell of burnt flesh...

She growled, screamed...

Beyond the flames, she saw Li Tai's face.

Li Tai looked at her in the raging fire with a sullen face, frowned and ordered coldly, "Get rid of this evil spirit!"

She shook her head again and again, and wailed, "I'm not evil... No!"

She also saw Chongwu, Jing Yannian, and Princess Dachang...

Chongwu was crying in the arms of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess was also wiping tears.

But no one rescued her...

Jing Yannian even ordered the guards to stand guard outside the fire, and said in a cold voice, "Don't let this evil spirit run away!"

"Ah—" Xiao Yuzhuo woke up screaming.

She didn't know whether she woke up from fright or pain.

The feeling of burning on the body is too painful...

She suddenly sat up from the bed, hugged her shoulders with her hands, and rubbed herself quickly, as if she instinctively wanted to put out the fire on her body.

She was out of breath, and the painful pain seemed to be still on her body.

"What's wrong, lady?" Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang rushed in from the outside.

There was still no light outside the window, and the drowsy sky made the room look dark.

Xiao Yuzhuo panted again and again, the cold morning wind poured in through the door pushed open by the two maids.

She couldn't help shivering, only to realize that she was drenched in sweat.

"Is my lady having a nightmare?" Mei Xiang whispered, "If my lady is too worried about Chong Wu and doesn't want to enter the palace alone, why don't you invite His Royal Highness King Wu and your lady to visit His Highness the Crown Prince together?"

With His Royal Highness Wu Wang by his side, even if the Holy Majesty wants to be unfavorable to the lady, he will have some scruples, right?
Xiao Yuzhuo shuddered when she thought of Jing Yannian standing beside Li Tai in the dream just now, not only did not save her, but also wanted to burn her to death with Li Tai.

"No, no need..."

Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang looked at each other suspiciously.

"What's the matter, lady?" Ju Xiang stepped forward, reaching out to Xiao Yuzhuo's forehead.

Xiao Yuzhuo hid for a while, "I'm fine."

Seeing that the worry in the eyes of the two servant girls grew stronger, she breathed a sigh of relief, "I was just having a nightmare. The dream was so real, even the pain was so real, so I... can't recover for a while."

Mei Xiang and Ju Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

"The servant girl can just go and call the lady." Mei Xiang said in a warm voice, "The lady is scared."

Ju Xiang took out the needle naan in her bosom, "The servant girl knows how to calm the mind and calm the mind, just give the lady two needles and it will be fine."

Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "It's okay, you guys go down, I'll just lie down for a while and I'll be fine."

Send two servant girls down.

But she didn't sleep anymore, as soon as she closed her eyes, the scene of her being tied to the fire and burned just now would appear in front of her eyes.

She dared not even close her eyes.

She put on her clothes and stood by the window.

The sky outside the window has already turned orange.

The sun is almost up.

Chongwu fell ill, and she couldn't feel at ease if she didn't go to see Chongwu.

But how to enter the palace?If the palace is really a trap prepared by Yuan Tianshi for her, how can she avoid it?
Maybe... She's just thinking too much?
If Yuan Tianshi wants to expose her, why wait until now?Should he have said this earlier?

Xiao Yuzhuo breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.

While she was having breakfast, a servant girl reported that the King of Wu invited her to the palace to meet the Holy Majesty and the Prince.

Seeing the Holy Majesty is the second priority, the main thing is to ask her to go and see Chongwu together, right?
It seems that Jing Yannian also knows that she got the news yesterday, but did not visit Chong Wu, it must be because of avoiding Li Tai.

If she didn't have the previous dream and could enter the palace with Jing Yannian, she would definitely feel at ease.

But the dream just now made her feel uneasy, even for Jing Yannian, she was also wary.

"Ask someone to tell His Highness King Wu to ask him to go first, and I will go later." Xiao Yuzhuo still sat firmly, eating breakfast slowly.

Mei Xiang wanted to say something, but Ju Xiang pulled her back, but she didn't speak.

King Wu's men had been gone for a long time before Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly got up and said, "Tell Zhuxiang to come back, Zhuxiang and Juxiang will enter the palace with me."

She can trust the maids around her.

Although Zhuxiang is married to Yuan Jiangtao, she believes that if she is in trouble, Zhuxiang will still stand by her side.

Yuan Jiangtao is also Li Tai's confidant general, Yuan Jiangtao took bamboo incense into consideration, and brought bamboo incense by his side when he entered the palace, this guarantee could not be greater.

Mei Xiang said in a low voice: "Returning to my lady, Zhu Xiang is...pregnant, so I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to ask her to take care of her?"

Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly.

Zhuxiang's family is the general's wife, and it would be inappropriate to ask her to come back to serve her.

Now that they are all pregnant, they cannot be called back.

She sighed, "Forget it, let Lan Xue come over."

If naivety wanted to kill her...then she would be willing to accept such an ending.

She doesn't belong here, no matter how hard she tries and struggles, it's doomed to be in vain...it must be in vain...

On the way to the palace, Xiao Yuzhuo kept his face sullen and sullen.

Mei Xiang also followed, and comforted her in a low voice, "My lady, don't worry, His Royal Highness has always been healthy, and Ju Xiang is so good at medicine, he must be fine!"

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded silently. If he entered the palace, he would get himself in, but as long as he can save Chong Wu, it would be worth it...

It's not that she left nothing in this world, didn't she leave Chongwu behind, and also left a lot of property for Chongwu?

Along the way, Xiao Yuzhuo thought a lot.

When she actually reached the gate of the palace, she found that she had calmed down.

Isn't it just a life?
Even if he was really burned to death, what's so scary?People will die sooner or later, and burning to death is just a little more painful.

She got out of the carriage, and the guards at the gate of the palace inspected the vehicle and the accompanying personnel.

Now when entering and leaving the imperial city, the rules are stricter.

"Princess, you know the rules. When entering and leaving the palace, especially the inner palace, you can't bring too many followers," the guard said, "You can only bring one maid by your side."

Liu Lanxue and Mei Xiang stared at the words.

Xiao Yuzhuo pointed to Juxiang without hesitation.

She came here just to visit Chongwu and ask Juxiang to heal Chongwu.

As for the superb Liu Lanxue, even if she is brought in, Li Tai really wants to burn her to death, and Liu Lanxue can't stop her?

"You are just waiting for me outside the palace gate." After Xiao Yuzhuo thought about it, he was able to laugh.

Her voice was softer than usual.

"In the future, you have to take care of yourselves." Xiao Yuzhuo looked at Mei Xiang, "Although Liao Changsheng is a little dull emotionally, he has a sincere heart for you. He is a nice person, cherish him well, and don't bully him all the time."

Mei Xiang nodded suspiciously.

"Lan Xue, I have always been very grateful to you. You have never hated me or complained about me. You have been loyal to me from the beginning to the end. Thank you. I don't advise you on emotional matters, as long as you are happy. Xiao Yuzhuo nodded to her and didn't mention Liang Sheng's name, but she believed that Liu Lanxue could understand.

After saying this, she took Ju Xiang's hand, got on the sedan chair, and went to the palace.

Mei Xiang and Liu Lanxue looked at each other, and they both saw the astonishment and shock in each other's eyes.

"Why do I feel that what my lady said is just like..."

"Same as last words?" Liu Lanxue interjected.

Mei Xiang snorted, but couldn't help but nodded.

"What's the matter, lady? Didn't you just go to the East Palace to visit His Highness the Crown Prince?" Liu Lanxue was suspicious.
