Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

Looking up, the ship came ashore.

Immediately, the attendants and boatmen on the ship all stepped out and began to get busy on the side of the shore, while Wu Yanqiu took a few members of the Guards and stood on the deck on the other side, at this time also carefully Come over.

I glanced at him.

The original calm, even some broad eyes, became extremely clear at this moment, as if I had just accidentally dreamed of a fantasy dream, and was dragged into the memory of many years ago, making people somewhat indistinguishable, but Now, looking at the busy figures in front of me, I feel the undulating waves under my feet, and the faint smell of water rolled up in the wind of the river. The distance between reality and memory is suddenly prominent.

Lier has come to Gu Ping and said happily, "Mother, we are in Yangzhou!"

"Ok."

I nodded, maybe there was still a bit of imagination that was too late to be immersed in the dreams of the past. I looked up at the pier, and those seemingly familiar scenery, for a moment a little at a loss.

At that time, I tried my best to leave the city and reach Jinling on the south bank.

At that time, I just wanted to find Lier and get back my daughter. Even if it was in front of me, I had to make a break, but now I have forgotten a bit. At that time, did I think about what I might face? Such a situation today?

How do I face this situation?

|

The person following Pei Yuanzhang went ashore. Lier was already familiar with it. Seeing that she was passing by in the crowd, my brows frowned and I was just about to call her. Gu Ping next to him had stepped forward She stopped, and said, "Leave—Leave, there are so many people here, don't run around."

"Oh!"

Lier was stopped by him, but he was not unhappy at all, but still looked excited, ran back to me, and said happily, "Mother, this is fun!"

"Is that right?" I was thinking about Chang Qing, and I was not in the mood to joke with her for a while, but smiled slightly, but Lier said excitedly, "Really, I like it here!"

I perfunctoryly said, "Well, where are we going to play today?"

"..."

She froze for a moment, instead of answering me, she turned to look at Pei Yuanzhang: "Where are we going to play?"

Pei Yuanzhang met her gaze and looked at me again.

Then he said, "Let's go to the market for a while."

"..."

Lier immediately nodded happily, and I listened to him, but he gave me a stun.

Visiting a bazaar?

Pei Yuanzhang took us across the river to Yangzhou, but went to the market?

This has nothing to do with his identity and his historical temperament. It can even be said to be an incredible thing. I even thought I heard it wrong, but he smiled and touched Lier ’s head, then "They said it was over there, and I heard that the morning market was still lively."

I frowned even more.

Is he serious?

What happened next told me that he was really-seriously. Wu Yanqiu let a few local guards in Yangzhou prefecture open the way, of course, it was not a big fanfare, but our party still looked mighty and went directly to an abandoned old pier not far from the pier.

As soon as I arrived here, I felt very lively. The water was so loud and the voice was full of people. A stone bridge almost deep into the river water directly turned into a lively market. Fishermen and hawkers who came to fishing together in the morning. It's all here. The stone bridge is very wide, about two or three feet wide, with people walking in the middle. Simple stalls are set up on both sides. Wet bamboo baskets and wooden boards are covered with various parallel imports, less than one finger wide. , Crackling small fish, there are also almost half-length big fish, and lively prawns, and a large piece of water on the ground, almost transparent peach mackerel, full of eyes, reflected in the sun Dazzling silver.

Most of us here have seen such a market, and even Lier has seen a lot in Jixiang Village. Instead, it is Pei Yuanzhang. Although his face is still stretched and heavy, he has been pulled by Lier. When I went to see those things, he didn't feel the slightest reluctance, or found something inappropriate, and he knew that he probably felt fresh.

I just followed them faintly and glanced from time to time.

Gu Ping was just behind me. The excitement around him couldn't disturb the calm expression on the dark face of the young man. He always looked at him with a vigilant look.

I was about to let him relax a bit, and I heard Lier shouting in front: "Mother, come!"

I sighed and walked along. A fisherman was selling a basket of green prawns. The shrimp were very fresh and lively. Several of them jumped out of the bamboo basket and crackled on the ground. Reached out to pick it up and threw it into the basket, giggling with a smile, seeing me walk over and hurriedly said: "Mother, the fish and shrimp here are so fresh!"

"Ok."

"I want to eat, too."

I looked at her with a smile: "Did you just say it yourself, did you not hit Jiang Zhongli in March?"

She froze for a moment.

At this time, the boss smiled and said, "Oh, madam, it's summer, so how to say March. Besides, the water is warmed up early this year, and the shrimp seeds have already fallen. Madam, it is a blessing to eat How many shrimps are there in this river, and we will eat just that little, how much can we eat? "

Pei Yuanzhang stood silently listening, with a smile on her lips: "So?"

The boss also said: "Looking at the decent master and wife, and carrying such a delicate lady, how can you not eat something fresh? Look at me, shrimp, hit by water mist early in the morning, one by one. . "

During the conversation, as if to testify to his words, a few more shrimps jumped up and splashed our faces with water.

I listened to his words, and the water splashed on my face with a stinky gas, like a cold water pouring down, immediately made me frown slightly, but Lier did not notice what he said at all The strangeness and my dissatisfaction, giggled by the water, turned back and said to me: "Mother, buy a little, okay?"

"..."

At this time, Pei Yuanzhang also wiped the water stains on her face, and turned her head to Lier, saying, "Let's eat less, not to eat all the fish and shrimp in the river."

Lier nodded immediately.

He looked at me again: "How about? Let's buy some?"

His attitude is half sparse and close, but in the eyes of the shrimp owner, we are like a family, this kind of close to you, as if the atmosphere of the family makes me a little inappropriate, or difficult to bear, but looking at the The child smiled happily, but couldn't bear the blunt refusal, but reluctantly said, "Just be happy."

Upon hearing this, Lier immediately went to pick shrimp.

Pei Yuanzhang glanced at me and said nothing, and turned around to accompany Lier to pick. The two picked some fresh shrimp. After finishing, Pei Yuanzhang turned and left, and Wu Yanqiu immediately brought the person up to pay.

He glanced at me and smiled slightly.

At this time, Pei Yuanzhang and Lier were attracted by the fish on the next stall. I took two steps slowly and landed next to him, smiling, "Master, this has been hard work."

He didn't know why I talked to him suddenly, but immediately respectfully said, "Mrs. speaks heavily."

"I've been busy these days, but I can't talk to Master Wu in detail."

"I don't know, what would you like to talk about?"

I looked at the big and small figures in front of me. Although their mood seemed very relaxed, my mood was a bit heavy, and I said gently, "I heard Lier said that there seemed to be some accidents yesterday? "

Wu Yanqiu glanced at me immediately.

"Yeah. It is the protection of Xiaguan that is unfortunate. Fortunately, the emperor has no blame." Wu Yanqiu said, "I also hope not to scare Li Princess."

I was slightly stabbed by the title "Princess Li", and Wu Yanqiu also felt a change in my complexion, but instead of having too much entanglement in this detail, I asked, "Have you caught it?"

Wu Yanqiu looked at me with a smile: "Madam ... still concerned about the emperor?"

I smiled slightly: "Don't Master Wu see it, and now your emperor is with my daughter and myself."

"Sorry, Xiaguan lost his word."

Wu Yanqiu sneered at me and said, "Actually, my wife doesn't have to worry too much. This time the emperor went south. It was very safe to have the guards. It was also because Du Yan wanted to catch the assassin. The emperor also said that he was too You will get hurt if you push forward. "

Too aggressive ...

When I heard these four words, I couldn't help moving.

If you want to say that Du Yan, as a guard, protects the emperor's safety, and arrests assassins outside of it, this is definitely the responsibility. Why does Pei Yuanzhang give him a "too aggressive" evaluation. Could it be that--

Pei Yuanzhang didn't want him to catch the assassin?

By the way, I guessed before that the origins of those assassins. If Jinling and Xichuan were excluded, the assassins were likely sent by the powerful gentlemen who were affected by the New Deal and hated the emperor. Pei Yuanzhang probably knows that he and they are now facing each other, but at least they still maintain a superficial level of peace. Those people are just doing some small actions, and they are not making a big splash on the table.

However, if Assassin is caught alive by Du Yan, if interrogated, Pei Yuanzhang would not be able to suppress such a big thing. After all, assassination of the emperor, even for the sake of face, he can't ignore it. If the dog jumped off the wall and rebelled against the imperial court, then the apparent calmness would not be maintained. It is very likely that wars in various places would start like Jinling.

That is the biggest obstacle to the New Deal.

Therefore, Pei Yuanzhang would say that Du Yan was "too aggressive."

In other words, he was almost certain that the identity of those assassins who came to assassinate him was--

I could not help frowning.

But then I thought, if that's the case, it shouldn't be me, and I have other things to worry about-Du Yan is not the person at the center of the power struggle, so he doesn't understand that you come to me so much The contest in the dark, but now was determined by Pei Yuanzhang as "too aggressive", I do not know what will happen to him.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked, "Have your Majesty the Emperor Du Yan blamed him?"
