The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 122 Obstacle Card
When I came here, I traveled day and night. It took six days to get to Maicheng, but it took eleven days to go back to Shengjing.It's not that the journey is not enough, but that along the way, we encountered ambushes one after another.

In the mountains, staying in a shop, or simply blatantly assassinating, all the people encountered along the way are masters, and every step of the way can be described as thorny.Originally a team of 40 people, in the end there were only a dozen people left.

Both the king of marsh yuan and the seventh prince were injured, and I was protected by Xuanyuan Chen. Although I was not injured, the problem of my heart turning blood became more and more serious. I couldn't eat or sleep well. In just a few days, I lost a lot of weight lock up.

These assassins were extremely cautious, and there were no clues on their clothes or weapons. Two of them were caught by us and killed themselves on the spot with poison pills hidden in their mouths. It can be said that they were extremely loyal to the master behind the scenes.

But the more it is like this, the more deliberate it becomes. The people behind the scenes are trying to avoid being exposed, which is counterproductive.

At this time, the old emperor is critically ill, and the position of crown prince in the East Palace is vacant, and the position of crown prince is reserved for Helian Yunzhang, Helian Yunze and the second prince of Jingzhong. If the two cannot return to Shengjing, the position of crown prince will belong to the second prince .

The throne of the Golden Dragon has been a contention between countless people since ancient times, and the two princes will naturally try their best to fight for it. It is understandable to send people to hide Lian Yunzhao and others.

I suddenly thought of the assassination at the Shoushan hunting ground a few years ago.

Back then, I accidentally hit and rescued someone. After returning to Beijing, the old emperor was furious and sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly. However, if a person wanted to hide his traces, no matter how hard he searched, he would not be able to find any clues.

Later, the imperial arresting inspector came and checked, and found a piece of brocade silk from the Southern Border Kingdom on the person I stabbed to death with a crossbow. From this, I came to the conclusion that it was the spy of the enemy country, whose purpose was to hurt my prince and mess us up. people's hearts.

The old emperor was furious, and sent people to rebuild the Shoushan hunting ground, and reduced the number of hunters every year in autumn, and this matter passed.

This is the result on the surface. In fact, everyone knows the real situation. Since there is no evidence, no one can say anything.

At that time, I was fledgling and cautious everywhere, lest the second prince would shoot me coldly. However, he seemed to have forgotten and never troubled me.

I thought about it later, since His Majesty and the Empress always call me into the palace, the second prince must be afraid of disturbing me and getting into trouble.

"Drink some water." Xuanyuan Chen handed over a water bag, I shook my head, stroked the broken hair from my temples, and leaned on the tree trunk.

In order to prevent the rest of us from pretending to be a caravan at this moment, wearing beards and hats, so that we can’t see you at all, Xuanyuan Chen took off his beard and pretended to be a white-faced accountant. Looks good.

Xuanyuan Chen put away the water bag, frowned slightly, put his finger on my wrist, and his brow deepened a lot.

After a while, he said, "Qingmu, why don't you just go back to Zhonglu with me, there are many medicinal materials in the Zhonglu Palace, and there are countless rare medicines, so you can go back with me for a period of recuperation. Alright. Your body is very feeble, and you really can't worry about it anymore."

"What did Prince Chen say?"

Not far away, Helian Yunzhang was discussing something with the Seventh Prince. Hearing this, he got up and walked over.

He said softly, "Ning'an was bestowed by my father and emperor as the princess, and he is a member of my Xiqi emperor's clan. In my palace imperial hospital, there is the best imperial doctor in Xiqi, and there are many precious medicinal materials. As long as you return After arriving in Shengjing, Ning An's illness will be cured, so why go all the way to Zhonglu."

Xuanyuan Chen frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "King Zhuoyuan doesn't know something, my mother likes medicine, and I studied with him for a few years when I was a child, so I am familiar with orpiment, but I have never seen symptoms like Qingmu's." The so-called prescribing medicine according to the disease, the disease comes from a weak body, but for some reason, the more it is replenished, the more deficient, if there is no good medicine, I am afraid it will be bad!"

Helian Yunzhang glanced at me, his eyes darkened a lot.

Yesterday, he gave me a coagulation pill, which is extremely tonic, one is comparable to three hundred-year-old ginseng, after I took it, not only did my qi deficiency symptoms not improve, but it got worse , can not help but make people strange.

Even so, Helian Yunzhang still said, "Sixty miles ahead is Shengjing, but it will take more than half a month to go to Zhonglu. If it's really bad, I'm afraid going to Zhonglu will be even worse. Besides..."

With a smile on his face, He Lian Yunzhang looked down and said, "Although King Chen handed over the letter to invite the concubine, but the father did not agree to this marriage, Princess Ning'an is a member of our Western Qi Huangzong, How can you go away with the younger brother of the neighboring country at will, what Prince Chen said is a bit abrupt."

Xuanyuan Chen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to wipe off a broken leaf in my hair, and said, "I thought that King Zhuo Yuan was also a person with a clear heart, so he cares about such mundane things."

Helian Yunzhang's eyes darkened, and Xuanyuan Chen said again, "Everything should be done with people first, the princess is like this now, the most urgent thing is to get her cured, and the rest will not be too late after she gets better .”

"Although this king wants to bring the princess back to Zhonglu, he doesn't have any strange thoughts in his heart. The word love is about knowing each other and cherishing each other. Only two people can agree with each other. King Zhuoyuan always reminds this king that the princess is the son of the emperor. People, could it be that you are afraid, the king told the princess to take it to Zhonglu, so he withheld it and refused to send it back?"

The wind suddenly picked up, and the fallen leaves were flying.

There was a sudden chill all over Helian Yunmao's body, Xuanyuan Chen also raised his head and looked at the past with the corners of his lips bent.

"Qiang..."

The two eyes collided suddenly, and neither of them changed their expressions, but I just felt that the air suddenly became much heavier.

Along the way, the two of them seldom spoke, but every time they spoke, it was always like this, which made me a little dizzy, so I straightened up and said, "It's almost time, let's hurry up, and you will be able to enter the holy It's Beijing."

Helian Yunzhao's expression softened obviously, instead of looking at Xuanyuan Chen, he took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, walked up to me and handed it to me.

"I still have a blood coagulation pill here. You can take it now. After you return to Beijing, you can go directly to the palace with me. I will take you to the imperial hospital."

I nodded, but didn't take the porcelain bottle. I just said, "Qing Mu's medicine won't help, and he'll be in Shengjing in a few hours. Don't waste the good medicine of the prince."

Helian Yunzhang's eyes darkened slightly, but he still put the porcelain bottle away. I felt tired for a while, maybe it was because my complexion was not good. Xuanyuan Chen hurriedly unscrewed the cowhide water bag again. I took a sip and felt relieved. Not a lot.

It's almost time to rest, Helian Yunzhang gave an order, and everyone pushed the carts and horses, and I also got on the only carriage, and then I went to Shengjing slowly.

There were twists and turns along the way, and I thought there would be no troubles near Shengjing, but after traveling for more than 30 miles, I stopped for convenience.

I picked up a couplet to see, not far away there were several teams of imperial guards, and barriers were set up on the side of the road, and several guards stood in the center of the road, and all passers-by were stopped, and they could pass through after checking one by one.

"Ouch! Officer, what are you doing by pulling the little old man's beard!" The little old man who was being inspected let out a headache.

The soldier immediately yelled coldly, "What are you calling, what are you calling for? Do you understand if you cooperate with the investigation? Now that Xiqi and Nanjiang are fighting, who knows if you are the secret agent of the enemy country disguised! arrest you."

The little old man looked aggrieved, and said, "Oh my lord, you have really wronged the little old man. The young one is a basket seller and lives in a small village two miles away. I pass by every day just to go to school. Xishi sold the baskets and bought rice noodles for a few cents, the little old man has lived in Xiqi for more than half his life, how can it be the secret work of the enemy country, they can all testify to me!"

"Yes, yes, he is not a spy!" The commoners behind him all nodded.

The soldier searched his package again, and then said impatiently, "Okay, okay, let's go! Next!"

"Hey! Thank you, sir." The old man nodded and walked away with his things.After walking a few steps, there was another yell, and it was the soldier who was pulling another man's beard.

"What should I do?" I frowned slightly, and asked Helian Yunmao who was sitting beside the carriage and pretending to be a coachman.

Although this place is not far from Shengjing, how could the imperial guards run twenty miles outside the city to check it out? I can see clearly that those soldiers and guards are holding a sketch sample in their hands. It is Helian Yunzhao and Qi Qi Prince, it is obvious that he is here for us.

His eyes darkened, and he shook his head and said, "Those behind are all masters. We have injuries on our bodies. If we really fight, we will definitely suffer. Why don't we retreat first and study it before we talk about it."

I nodded, "Alright."

He hummed, and then turned the carriage to retreat, but he heard the guard in front shouted, "Hey! You guys, come here for investigation."

Helian Yunzhang pretended not to hear, and continued to turn the carriage, and the guard immediately shouted, "Hey! The carriage driver, talking to you, didn't you hear me! Come here for investigation!"

The roll call was called, and it would be futile to pretend to be afraid, so Helian Yunzhang could only smile slightly, and stopped the carriage, "Master, are you talking about me again?"

Several soldiers and guards looked at Helian Yunzhao's figure, exchanged glances, and immediately behind them, several imperial guards stepped forward.

Covering their knives with one hand, they stepped forward and stopped one meter away from the carriage, "Who is in the carriage, get out of the carriage quickly, and accept the investigation!"

He Lian Yunzhao smiled, "Master, my wife is in poor health, can you help me?"

"Stop talking nonsense, don't get out of the car, and deal with it in detail!"

"Clang clang..."

The imperial guards in the rear immediately raised their bows and arrows, tensed their bowstrings, ready to attack at any time.

"Oh, sir!"

I lowered my voice, and a head leaked out from the curtain of the car, "Don't be so fierce, the officials, please, please, isn't it just an investigation, let's get out of the car."

I bared my teeth on purpose and smiled, and the faces of the soldiers and guards suddenly showed a look of contempt, and there was some faint repulsion.

This can't be blamed on me, in fact, my face is too ugly by Xuanyuan Chen's disguise, not to mention red lips, two buck teeth sticking together, thick eyebrows and rolling eyes, and several freckles dotted on my face.

Other people's smiles are overwhelming, but now I smile, it can be described as thrilling, it is really embarrassing for a few soldiers.

I opened the car curtain with a swish, stroked my waist with one hand, and supported my big belly with the other, and I was about to get out of the car.

"Ma'am, be careful!" Helian Yunzhao immediately came up to help me, I turned my head and grinned at him deliberately, I don't know if it was an illusion, I seemed to hear the sound of vomiting...

The leading guard frowned, and I smiled to myself. I was planning to go over to disgust him, and then put some money in the past, but I just got out of the carriage, and the crowd waiting for investigation behind me let out a cry.

Then he said, "It's strange, this woman doesn't look like she's pregnant..."
