Harem Pampered Beauty: Chen Xiangxue

Chapter 73

When Yeluyan returned to the palace, he went into the study and ordered no one to disturb him. He didn't come out until lunch time.

Yu Pingting was angry and helpless, and she didn't know what Yeluyan was doing after being bored in the study for a long time. She wanted to go to see it several times but was stopped by Guan.

Yu Pingting said angrily: "In front of me, you feel sad for other women, but you don't think of me at all?"

"That girl has just passed away, so it is inevitable for His Highness to be sad. Besides, His Highness is just recovering from a serious illness. It is better not to get too close to the empress, so as not to make her sick. The empress is pregnant now, and the fetus in the womb is more precious than anything else. There must be no slip-up."

Yu Pingting said angrily: "Then I will just watch him ruin his body for a wild girl? He is now the prince of the country, and his body is not his own."

"Your Majesty, don't be too hasty. It's more appropriate to wait for His Highness to calm down a little bit before caring. Your Majesty and His Highness will be together for a long time, so don't be in a hurry."

Yu Pingting snorted, "Leave him alone, let's serve dinner."

Zhang Yuan saw that Yu Pingting had already gone to eat in the flower hall, the smell of the food wafted from the warm pavilion, but the door of the study was still closed.

Yeluyan ate very little in the past few days due to his illness, and his health has just improved today, but he hasn't had any water or rice since morning. Zhang Yuan couldn't help worrying about Yeluyan's health, and was about to embolden himself to try to persuade him. The door creaked open.

Yeluyan's face was still pale and haggard, with a tired look on his face, he beckoned Zhang Long to go in.

Zhang Long walked into the study cautiously, not daring to approach, only three steps away from the threshold.

Yeluyan picked up a portrait from the desk and handed it to him, said in a hoarse voice: "Go find a few painters, copy the portraits, and post reward notices along the towns and cities along the Resent River, and whoever finds his wife will be rewarded with a thousand gold. "

Zhang Yuan took Murong Xue's portrait with both hands, looked at the lifelike eyebrows on the painting, felt very uncomfortable, said in a low voice: "Your Highness has just recovered from a serious illness, you should take good care of your body."

Yeluyan said: "Even the mountain villages, don't leave them behind, they all have to send portraits."

"Yes, the villain will do it now." Zhang Yuan came out of Yintao Pavilion with the portrait in his hands, feeling infinitely sad. He didn't expect Yeluyan to be so persistent and affectionate, and he still refused to give up and still held on to hope.

This portrait is exactly the same as Murong Xue's real face, even the flying spirit and crystal clear eyes are drawn exactly.

He should engrave her every frown and smile in his heart in order to draw such a charm.

Thinking of this, Zhang Long became more and more sad.

Ding Xiang wanted to save the fixed money, and as soon as Yeluyan left, she couldn't wait to get out of the other courtyard, so as not to have long nights and dreams, and Shenwei Escort would default on her debts.

She was born in poverty, and was sold by her family to Murong Lin as a maid since she was a child. To her, 1000 taels of silver was a huge sum of money that she had to risk her life to get back.

Not far from the other courtyard, a person riding a gallop came towards her, she squinted her eyes and saw that the person on the horse was Xu Ze.

When Xu Ze saw Ding Xiang, he reined in abruptly, flew down from the horse, strode up to her, and in desperation, ignoring the defenses between men and women, grabbed her arm and asked, "Your lady, is it true?" He just got the news today, so he rushed over immediately.

Ding Xiang tearfully nodded.

Xu Ze had an unbelievably painful expression on his face, he gritted his teeth tightly, the muscles around his cheeks throbbed faintly, and his eyes were red.

Ding Xiang couldn't bear to see his expression.

Xu Ze squeezed her arm vigorously, and said in a trembling voice, "I don't believe it. Didn't the lord look for her?"

Ding Xiang wiped away her tears and said, "I searched for a day and a night, but there is no news."

"She'll be fine, no." Xu Ze shook his head, as if the scene in front of him was a nightmare, and he wanted to wake up from it.

"I'll go find her." He got on his horse, turned around and left.

Ding Xiang looked at his back and sighed with tears in his eyes.What a wonderful Mr. Xu, it's a pity that he has nothing to do with Miss.

She went to the street, called a sedan chair, and went straight to the Shenwei Escort on Shenshui Street, and found Shen Wei.

"Shen Biaotou, I came here a few days ago, Shen Biaotou still remembers."

Shen Wei said with a smile: "Of course I remember Miss Ding Xiang."

"I'm here to cancel that escort trip, please return the 1000 taels of money back to the head of the escort."

Shen Wei was stunned, "What does Miss Ding Xiang say? Someone has already delivered the goods to the downstairs of Yanmen, and my bodyguards have already escorted the things on the way."

Ding Xiang was also taken aback, and immediately said: "Impossible, the things my master wants to escort back to Suzhou are still at home, how could someone deliver them to Escort Shen."

Shen Wei said displeased: "Miss Dingxiang, my Shenwei Escort has been in this Shenshui Street for 32 years, relying on the word reputation, I have never had any money from ignorant people, let alone for 1000 taels of silver. Smash my good name for 32 years."

Ding Xiang asked incredulously: "Who is the person who delivered the goods?"

Shen Wei said: "It's a young man named Su Gui."

Ding Xiang said: "Our family has never known anyone named Su Gui, could it be you who made up nonsense?"

Shen Wei also became angry, and said loudly: "At the beginning when the girl came to pay the deposit, she personally made an agreement with the old man that she would pick up the goods at the bottom of the Yanmen Building at Chenshi seven days later. As for who the delivery person was, the girl didn't say the name, but now it's a no-brainer Denying this matter, want to play tricks?"

Ding Xiang didn't believe it at all, and thought to herself, you're just cheating.She asked angrily, "What did he send?"

"It's a burden. He said that the things are expensive and he wants to go with the darts. He has been on the road for several days now, and he is taking the official road. If Miss Ding Xiang doesn't believe it, just send someone to catch up and see if there is really someone. I am the Shenwei Escort. Never lie."

Shen Wei is tall and has a mighty appearance, when he got angry, his eyes widened, his brows stood upright, Ding Xiang was a little timid, thinking that he was single and weak, and had no status, Shen Wei deliberately wanted to lose the 1000 taels Silver, I have nothing to do with it, I can't beat it, I can't talk about it, I need to bring in a rescuer.

So she turned around angrily and left, thinking whether to tell Yeluyan about it along the way.

But after thinking about it, Murong Xueqian told Wan Wan not to tell Yeluyan, could it be that he secretly sent some precious jewelry that Yeluyan gave her back to his hometown, and asked Muronglin to sell it and save it for retirement or living expenses?In short, if you send 1000 taels of silver back to a palace, she won't believe it even if you kill her.

Back in the other courtyard, the more she thought about it, the more strange it became.

When Murong Xue came to the capital, the only people she knew were Xu Ze and Zhao Zhenniang's family.

The Zhao family lived next door to Murong Lin, Ding Xiang knew everyone in the family, she even thought about the servants, there was no one named Su Gui.

Could it be that Su Gui is a servant of Xu Zefu?

It is also possible that the brocade box did not originally contain the palace tapestry, but Murong Xue had already handed over the things to the man named Su Gui, and casually put the palace tapestry in the brocade box.

However, she and Murong Xue were almost inseparable, and Murong Xue had almost never been out of other courtyards, so how did she give things to Su Gui?

The more she thought about it, the more strange and unbelievable she felt.Another possibility is that Shen Wei is talking nonsense for money.

In the end, she decided to go to Xu Ze to see if Su Gui was from his family, if not, she asked him to lead her to ask Shen Wei for money.Xu Ze was originally the son of General Yasukuni, so even Shen Wei dared not renege on his debt.

After making up her mind, Ding Xiang went to Xu's house every day, but Xu Ze was not there for three consecutive days.

Ding Xiang thought, could it be that he is still looking for Miss by the Resentment River?
In a blink of an eye, it has been ten days since I left the capital.Murong Xue was uneasy, like a fugitive, and finally let go.

This time, she finally left the capital and also Yeluyan.

However, the successful departure did not make her feel a lot of joy and joy, but instead she was very sad and sad. It was a completely different state of mind from the last time she left.

When he was free, he was also lost.From now on, she may never love someone so wholeheartedly again in her life.

Many memories recurred in my mind, especially after she hurt her hand, his care and thoughtfulness and many changes.Therefore, she often couldn't help thinking, would the news of her "death" make him very sad?

Along the way, she also heard some people talking about the news that the Holy Majesty has already established a crown prince.She thought that he finally got the coveted crown prince, this great joy should cover up the little sadness.

When he ascends the throne, there will be kings and ministers everywhere, and there will be an endless stream of beauties he wants, and he is just a passer-by in his life.His sadness lasted only a few days.

"Xiao Su, are you hungry?"

Shang Hu interrupted her thoughts and handed over a biscuit with a smile.

Murong Xue shook her head with a smile, "I'm not hungry. Thank you Brother Shang."

Shang Hu looked at her body, shook his head, and said, "I said, Xiao Su, you can't eat a lot. You have to drink a lot of wine to grow tall. A man needs a figure like ours to grow up." Manly. You look like a little girl."

Murong Xue said with a smile: "Brother Shang is right, but I have a southern physique, no matter how much I eat, I won't gain weight."

Shen Peng said: "Then practice martial arts and keep fit."

Murong Xue immediately nodded politely: "Success, when I get to Suzhou, I'll also ask a master to teach me some boxing kung fu."

Shen Peng said: "Isn't that right? Look at our martial arts practitioners, who are so afraid of the cold like you, you never took off your hat and scarf along the way."

It's okay if you don't say anything, when he said that, Murong Xue pulled down his hat again, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen is a hero, I can't compare with him. I was afraid of the cold since I was young, and my body is weak. My mother treats me like a girl." Keep it up, for fear that I will be short-lived."

Shang Hu laughed and said, "No wonder little Suss is gentle and graceful."

A group of people talked and laughed, and seeing that it was getting late, they searched for an inn.

Murong Xue lived alone in a room since she left the capital, and she carried that burden tightly on her shoulders from beginning to end. Everyone was very curious, and they didn't know what the bodyguards were on this trip.

When Murong Xue entered the room, she put the bundle on the head of the bed, then called Xiaoer in, poured a basin of hot water, washed her hands and face, then took off her shoes and socks, and soaked her feet.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard someone talking outside.

"Excuse me, are you Shen Peng's bodyguard from the Shenwei bodyguard?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Murong Xue nearly kicked the basin over in shock.
