Drawing Crescent Eyebrows: Alluring Zinnia with a Smile

Chapter 383

From Yuhang to meet with that team of guards, all the way across the border to Beixia, but there was no waves.

"Look, I've already reached Yandu. If the road goes smoothly, I will be able to reach Shengjing in half a month." Resting in Yandu at night, I thought that it would take me more than two months to walk all the way from Lin'an. It's over, Suxue stood in front of the window and looked at the night sky, secretly counting the days and said to Qingyou, there was some joy in her words, but there was still some worry.

Qingyou sat there quietly and poured tea, but her heart was not as calm as the tea, she said a little nervously: "When I escaped from Lin'an and left the Song Dynasty, I didn't have time to think about these things, but now I am getting closer and closer to Shengjing step by step. The closer I get, the more I feel...all empty, everything there seems to be a thing of the past, I don't know what it will be like when I go back."

"After a few years, it's natural to be in such a state of mind." Su Xue comforted her softly, "If you're in a state of anxiety all day long, why don't you think about Wei Young?"

When mentioning her daughter, Qingyou smiled sincerely. Thinking of the journey, since she knew that Suxue had a child now, she didn't often hear her mention children. There are thousands of emotions in her heart, and she doesn't mention it, but since she can comfort herself with Wei Young at this moment, she knows how much she misses her child. Thinking of this, she smiled lightly and said: "I'm afraid I'm thinking It’s not just Wei Young, I’m always thinking about the Prince of England’s son whom I’ve never met, I don’t know if this little nephew will hate me just like my father!”

After hearing this, Su Xue was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled to herself and said: "He doesn't hate you, he is afraid of you."

"Afraid of me?" Qingyou blurted out unexpectedly, a little unresponsive in her heart, and asked again: "You mean Ye Feng?"

Suxue nodded, and said slowly: "The initial emotion was just a misunderstanding and joke, but later, although he rejected you wholeheartedly, it wasn't because he didn't like your behavior, on the contrary, he admired you a little bit, it's just that you were born with such a personality. Changing his face, back then...then the shock of smiling all over the city, and then laughing all over the country, he was afraid of you, just like Daji Baosi in the past.

Qingyou never thought about it like this in the past, but now after hearing Suxue's words, she felt that His Royal Highness the King of England was also a little bit interesting, and couldn't help but said with a joke: "I really feel sorry for him, my golden house hides the beauty, but I really want to take care of him." This calamity of subjugation is all arranged on me alone!"

Just as he was talking and laughing, he heard a burst of heavy footsteps outside, followed by a strong knock on the door by the guards, which made people feel uneasy.

"What's the matter?" The two went to the door and opened it, and saw a team of leading guards standing in front of the door, their faces were full of expressions, more than just frowning.

Such a look, before she could say anything, already made Qingyou Suxue feel uneasy.

The guard cupped his hands respectfully and said: "I would like to report to the two concubines, there is news from Shengjing that the Empress Dowager Cheng'an has passed away, and now there is great chaos in the palace. The emperor imprisoned His Royal Highness King Rong and the Fourteenth Prince for the crime of murdering relatives and treason."

"What?!" Suxue yelled, as if something was wrong with her ears, she never thought that such a big event would happen.

And the last half of the sentence made Qingyou's eyes darken even more, and she almost fell down like this, and said in a trembling voice, "Say it again."

The guard expressed his eagerness in his words, bowed and said: "The two Highnesses are now in prison, and His Highness the King of England is not in the imperial capital, and his subordinates have nothing to do. I beg the two princesses to go back to the capital overnight without delay!"

"King Ying is not in Shengjing?" Listening to the guard's words, Qingyou looked at Suxue in bewilderment, but saw that her face was pale now, her eyes were dazed for a while, Qingyou pushed her arm impatiently, Asked: "Why is Ye Feng not in Shengjing?"

Suxue was only relieved by her push like this, and quickly restrained her panic, but did not answer her question, she only said to the guard: "You give orders, we will leave overnight to return to Shengjing, there is no need for a carriage, here we go." The two of us will also get two horses, and we must get the fastest one, without delay."

When the guard heard the words, he immediately said: "Your subordinate obeys your orders." After saying that, he left to prepare.

Qingyou wanted to ask Suxue again: "What's going on?"

Suxue's eyebrows were tightly locked, her eyebrows flickered a little, she was calm for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Ye Wushang ordered Ye Feng to lead an army of [-] to send troops to Tianshui City to attack Xiqi."

This news is now even more difficult for Qingyou. Thinking about the major events in the three countries, but not understanding why the internal troubles are still unresolved, but now they can fight, "This... when did this happen?" ?”

While the two were talking, they got ready, Suxue said, "When we first arrived in Yuhang, a guard informed me, and it has been more than two months."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Suxue thought Qingyou was so anxious and flustered because she was worried about Xiqi, so she blamed herself, and she was also worried about Ye Feng in Tianshui City because she was worried about Xiqi, and she didn't know what to do in Beijing. When such a big event happened, so what if he was there, so many emotions mixed together, but it made Su Xue speechless for a moment.

Qingyou shook her head secretly, shook her hand, and said with concern: "I'm not blaming you for keeping this from me, but I'm also worried in my heart that there is turmoil in Beijing, Ye Feng sent troops to Tianshui, and How can it be smooth sailing?"

Suxue sighed, "I'm afraid that there is no room for loopbacks in the matter now, even if I take you back to Shengjing, I'm afraid it won't help."

Faced with this sudden shocking change, both of them seemed a little unacceptable in their hearts, and they were even more uneasy because they didn't understand the affairs in Beijing. They waited for the guards outside to make preparations, and a team of people rushed to the imperial capital overnight. .

Sure enough, after changing the carriage, all the journeys were quick, coupled with the anxiety in his heart, so in less than five days, he had already arrived outside the city of Shengjing.

Because they didn't know what the situation in the palace was like now, the two of them didn't dare to go back hastily, they only settled in the ruined temple temporarily, Suxue asked someone to secretly send a letter of her own to the Fourteenth Emperor's Palace, and said to Qingyou: "Ye Wushang knows that the Song Kingdom has now changed masters, and Yuwen Chui's vigorous posture is naturally different from that of Emperor Gan Ning. For the sake of peace between the two countries, he has not moved Chi Luan at this time, only in the Fourteenth Emperor's Palace. It’s just house arrest, I told them to try, if possible, bring her out first before making any plans.”

Qingyou nodded and said: "If there is someone who is in it here, everything will be clear."

The two waited here for a long time without any news, and their hearts were full of worries. It was not until dawn that they saw the sent guards come back in black clothes, and brought a beautiful young woman behind them.

Seeing someone coming in, Suxue relaxed her eyebrows a little, and gave Qingyou a look, Qingyou immediately realized that this person should be her cousin, the marriage lord of the Song Kingdom.

"Xianluan!" Suxue went forward, called her and held hands with each other. Seeing that everything was fine with her, Suxue was relieved, "Fortunately, I didn't have time to involve you."

Chi Luan shook his head and sighed, "It's just a day and night."

With one word, Suxue sent the guards out first, then took Chi Luan two steps forward, brought him to Qingyou, pointed at her, and said: "Look who this is."

When Chiluan saw Qingyou, not to mention that he knew about Suxue's trip to Lin'an, he was shocked when he saw that face, and he didn't need anyone to tell who she was, "You Is it...Sister-in-Law Seven?"

Sister-in-law Qi called out this sentence, Qingyou couldn't tell what it was like, looking at the woman in front of her, she also asked, "Are you returning to Wu Wengzhu?"

They each nodded, knowing each other's identities in their hearts, each of them should have sighed, but Suxue here is impatient and couldn't wait much, so she came up and said: "Stop gossiping, there will be opportunities in the future, how is the situation in Beijing now?"

As soon as she mentioned this, the atmosphere around her became serious in an instant. Chi Luan's tone was full of panic, and she said anxiously: "The seventh brother and the fourteenth brother are in prison. The decree is for a public trial in three days, but now people from the two mansions are not allowed to sit together, as for Brother Nine..." She said, her eyes sank, she glanced at Suxue cautiously, and said helplessly: "Tian Shui City is trapped by soldiers. Food and grass are scarce, and there are no reinforcements, so I'm afraid we won't be able to last long."

Suxue's face turned pale when she heard that, she was speechless for a while, Qingyou asked eagerly: "Isn't Qianhen still the Minister of the Ministry of War? Even though Ye Wushang has no order, why didn't he send troops to Tianshui City?"

Xi Luan explained: "Brother Long is also in the army, the King of England is the commander in chief, and the minister of the Ministry of War is the deputy commander in chief."

After hearing such words, Qingyou's mind suddenly buzzed, thousands of emotions rushed up all of a sudden, but she didn't understand how Ye Xu would lose so thoroughly this time, but after all, it was not the time to talk about these things, She tried hard in her heart to force herself to calm down. She knew that at this time, no one but herself could change everything.

For a moment, Qingyou's eyes were deep and thoughtful and said: "Beixia invaded first. From my point of view, everything is not good in the Western Qi Dynasty. The two kings have their own troubles in seizing the heir. Now we don't know what is going on in the Western Qi Dynasty, but it may not be intentional." Go to war."

Suxue couldn't think of what she meant, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I'm going to Tianshui." She calmly threw out this sentence, which surprised them both again.

"Qingyou!"

"Sister-in-law Seven!"

Qingyou knew that the two of them wanted to persuade them, but she didn't have time to think too much for the current plan, so she just said: "Don't worry, these things should have ended earlier, they are just dead, and they will never be Ye Xu and Ye Xu. Feng, I have to go this trip, I just need you two to help me take care of Wei Young."

After Qingyou said it, regardless of where the two of them were surprised, after a salute, she hurriedly walked out, without looking back and only confessed this sentence, then rode on the horse and rushed to Tianshui City.
