Chapter 36 Yizhou Hospital
The place where the carriage stopped is not the place where the team will stay tonight, not even Yizhou, but a small inn in the border area.
"I'm going to rush back first. Someone will pick you up later, and you can join the team tonight." Xiao Yuanqi gave a simple order, leaving the cold night and another dark guard for her, and then rode a fast horse to Yizhou City.
About an hour later, the person who answered Shen Sirong arrived. Seeing the long-lost Hanmei and others, Shen Sirong was happy. After a short rest, the group set out to turn to the official road and travel all the way to Yizhou.
After Xiao Yuanqi rushed back to the post, he took advantage of the space of the defense to turn over and enter the inner courtyard. In less than a moment, the real and fake emperor changed back.
"How's it going?" The light in the room was very dark. Xiao Yuanqi was dressed in casual clothes, while the opposite person was wearing a dragon robe. His size was similar to Xiao Yuanqi's, but his face was very different.
The "dragon robe" arched his hand and said, "My subordinate's behavior has not shown a flaw, but the ladies are..."
The "dragon robe" has not been finished, but Xiao Yuanqi also knows what's going on. Along the way, the concubine must have been lucky for "him".
"Is there any news from the courtiers?" In the dark, Xiao Yuanqi's voice was very low, which made people's hearts tighten. Hearing that the emperor's tone was unclear at this time, the "dragon robe" was even more cautious.
"Lord Qin will not come again after coming several times, but the other ministers are bound to come to see it every day. If their subordinates don't say anything, they can't see the true face of their subordinates."
Xiao Yuanqi listened to his words, held the table on the side, and knocked his fingers on the table.
"Okay, go and have a rest."
All the way Xiao Yuanqi's voice, the "dragon robe" retreated. Then, Wang Guangrong came forward with a medal, and Xiao Yuanqi looked at the name above and did not open it.
"Go and call Meng Yuan."
Wang Guangrong left, and there was still silence in the room.
... (The above is a borrowing method to replace the fake Xiao Yuanqi with a "dragon robe".)
That night, the noble concubine Shen Sirong followed the team after recovering from her illness, and Xiao Yuanqi personally went out to welcome her.
Looking at the exquisite and gorgeous sedan chair in the distance, Xiao Yuanqi's face showed joy, and this light smile fell into the eyes of others, which was extremely dazzling.
The sedan chair fell safely. Shen Sirong in the sedan chair closed his eyes and waited for the palace people beside him to lift the curtain of the sedan chair, but he didn't expect a bright light to shine suddenly. Then he fixed his eyes, and the bright light was exactly Xiao Yuanqi's star-black eyes.
"My concubine is back."
Come back.
They obviously separated this afternoon, with a smile between their eyes that others can't see through.
"My concubine has met the emperor."
Shen Sirong stepped out of the sedan chair, his waist trembled slightly, and he bowed down.
Xiao Yuanqi did not raise his hand to avoid courtesy or help her get up, but bowed down and hugged her. Shen Sirong's eyes flashed with surprise and walked obediently against Xiao Yuanqi's arm.
These short actions made the rest of the concubines jealous. Suddenly, they also seemed to understand why the emperor did not call the concubines today, not because the emperor was not well, but because the noble concubine was not there.
Thinking about this, those who look at Shen Sirong have a lot more hostility. However, on this night, Xiao Yuanqi did not stay with Shen Sirong, which also made the rest of the concubines feel a little at ease.
The next day, the royal team officially arrived in Yizhou, and Yizhou assassin Li Fangcheng and his subordinate officials went out of the city to wait for a visit.
The emperor's Luan drove in front, followed by the concubines. They sat in an eight-wheeled carriage, listening to the neat footsteps outside, and there was also a lot of discussion inside.
"My sister is particularly happy today, but is it because she is going to see her father?" Zeng Min smiled and teased Li Jingwan with a happy face.
Without waiting for Li Jingwan to answer, Chen Yunyun said, "No wonder Sister Li's father is far away." The deep meaning in this sentence makes it clear that Chen Yunyun is relying on her granddaughter of Prime Minister Zuo to mock Li Jingwan, whose father is a local official.
"You..." Li Jingwan was a little angry but also forcibly suppressed it. She laughed angrily and said, "Ha ha, naturally it's not as good as my sister. The emperor has also asked me about this, but I'm afraid that the emperor will be embarrassed, but now I don't want to be asked by my sister."
Li Jingwan is smarter than Chen Yunyun. Her father's official position is just a guarantee in Shen Mansion in the harem. What is really important is still Xiao Yuanqi's favor.
"Bright, I'm afraid Sister Shen's these sunsets are boring. Why don't we talk about some interesting things on the road?"
Chen Yunyun stared at Zeng Min angrily, and Zeng Min turned the topic away with a smile.
Shen Sirong let them lead the words to her, but smiled and didn't say anything. She didn't know how Xiao Yuanqi arranged for her to leave the team, so she wouldn't make a mistake if she didn't speak.
When they asked a lot of questions and Shen Sirong couldn't stand it, the carriage stopped steadily.
Through the curtain, a high voice came from outside: "Li Fangcheng, the assassin of Chen Yizhou, and his subordinate officials visited our emperor. Long live my emperor."
"Love Qing flat."
Xiao Yuanqi came out of Luan's driving, and his heroic facial features were full of wisdom, and the momentum of not being angry and arrogant made Li Fangcheng's heart tremble.
"I have arranged a separate courtyard for the emperor and the ladies to live temporarily, and please ask the emperor to move." Li Fangcheng looked up at Xiao Yuanqi. The bright yellow dragon robe emitted a dazzling light in the sun, making him unable to even catch a glance.
Xiao Yuanqi nodded, and Wang Guangrong beside him cleared his throat and shouted, "Get up."
Li Fangcheng turned over his horse and led the way in front of him, and the carriage began to move again.
When the carriage stopped again, a servant came to ask them to get out of the car. The courtyard in front of them was exquisite and gorgeous, with a large bronzing book in front of the door: Yiranju.
Xiao Yuanqi pointed to the three big words and said, "These three words remind me of the word: the clouds are light and the wind is light."
When he finished speaking, the rest of the people responded and praised the elegance of the other courtyard, which made Li Fangcheng jump in his heart, and only Shen Sirong did not speak out.
The clouds are light and the wind is light. This is obviously the mention on the stroke pavilion in the backyard of Shen Mansion, which is the forbidden place of Shen Mansion, her secret garden, and the place where Xiao Yuanqi opens his mouth to ask her for "heart".
"Boke the pen and ink." Xiao Yuanqi's interest hit him and wrote down the four words "light clouds and light wind".
is as smooth and smooth as the clouds and flowing water of the same industry, and a little is as simple as an arrow. In a while, the pen front flows freely, as if mixed with a little internal force.
"Good word, emperor." Li Fangcheng exclaimed from the side.
Xiao Yuanqi did not respond. He took a deep look at Shen Sirong and turned into another courtyard.
There are more holes in this courtyard. In addition to these four words, Shen Sirong doesn't know how to describe this place. Compared with the majestic atmosphere of Xijing, it is more graceful and beautiful.
"Your Majesty, there is a natural lake behind this. There is a living hot spring gushing out from the ground in the depths of the lake. The hot and cold are alternating, which is very strange. I made a special trip to clean it up to serve the emperor to bathe." Li Fangcheng said with a smile.
There are almost no living hot springs in Xijing, and even in the palace, Shen Sirong has only seen it once in Fengming Palace. It seems that Yizhou is richer than Xijing.
Xiao Yuanqi nodded with satisfaction and walked around a garden. There was a lake over there. There was a ship standing on the lake. According to the size of the boat, it could be known that the boat had a shallow water. I thought the pool was very deep.
Seeing Xiao Yuanqi's eyes stopping there, Li Fangcheng came forward and explained, "This ship leads to the living spring."
Shen Sirong was not far behind Xiao Yuanqi. Xiao Yuanqi turned around and suddenly asked, "What do you think is the comparison between this place and the palace?"
"Naturally, each has its own beauty." Shen Sirong did not say which is good or bad, but each has its own beauty that can also explain the exquisiteness of living. This sentence fell into Xiao Yuanqi's ears, and it was a tingling.
Shen Sirong is right, but the boat is clearly not newly built. He can roughly guess how huge the amount of silver it costs to repair this world without checking.
"I'm exhausted." After saying that, Xiao Yuanqi pulled Shen Sirong into the bedyard, and the remaining three concubines behind him looked very ugly.
At this time, Li Fangcheng had the opportunity to have a good look with his daughter, and Li Jingwan's smile was inevitably lost.
At night, Xiao Yuanqi and Shen Sirong sent their entourage away and only brought a few guards on the boat. However, he did not go to the living water. He was afraid that if he took a look, he would not suppress his emotions and wanted Li Fangcheng's head.
"Is Mrs. Meng still in the team?" Shen Sirong poured wine on Xiao Yuanqi and suddenly thought of Ye Su and Xu Qing. Xu Qing also came to Yizhou this time. He didn't know what excuse Ye Su was looking for, but Xiao Yuanqi intended to let go, and naturally there would be their way.
"No, she is just a family of an official who lives in another courtyard." Xiao Yuanqi explained lightly.
Shen Sirong didn't say much in his heart. Only the two of them in the cabin were slightly restrained by Xiao Yuanqi's imperial spirit, and was replaced by deep depression.
Looking at Xiao Yuanqi, who was shrouded in drunkenness, Shen Sirong took the wine pot in Xiao Yuanqi's hand, but his sleeve was pulled by his backhand.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother..."
Xiao Yuanqi rarely put down his heavy defense, and he leaned in Shen Sirong's arms and whispered.
In the middle of the moon, the night faded away. Xiao Yuanqi was awakened by the wind. He was lying on the brocade on the ground, flanked by Shen Sirong, who was kneeling.
"Are you awake?" Shen Sirong poured a cup of tea, but the tea was still hot and didn't last long.
Xiao Yuanqi got up and rubbed the painful eyebrows.
"Queen Hui'an, what happened back then?" Shen Sirong, who asked, spoke very slowly. When Xiao Yuanqi went to sleep, she kept thinking about what happened to Queen Hui'an in those years. She also remembered the man in Fengming Palace and all kinds of things buried in the past.
Can Xiao Yuanqi put down his guard against her tonight? Can he fully trust her? Or, he is special and different in his heart.
I never thought that this question made Xiao Yuanqi angry: "You are just a concubine. What does this have to do with you? Humph..."
After Xiao Yuanqi's cold sight fell, he turned out of the cabin, leaving only Shen Sirong, who was so quiet that he could not even hear his breath.
