Chapter 53 Survival
Xue Yu thought he showed his face in the martial arts field, but a few days later, Ji Bochuan still ignored him as usual. He was very angry and came back to complain to Shen Xuanji, "Why can't this man get in like this?"
Shen Xuanji didn't want to hit him, but he couldn't help laughing and pointed to Xue Zhen and said, "You are a little utilitarian!"
Xue Zhen touched his nose with some embarrassment and threw the letter clip in front of Shen Xuanji, "Look at this and you will know why I'm so anxious."
Shen Xuanji took the letter and saw that there was no signature on the cover. When he opened it, he did not recognize the handwriting. Only by looking at the content did he know that it was sent by Huo Qiyue from Qiongjiang.
Huo Qiyu is a promiscuous person, but he wrote a good word with rules. In the letter, he used all kinds of means to find out about the situation of Qiyi in Qiongjiang. Shen Xuanji's eyes turned red when he looked at it. He looked up at Xue Zhen and said, " Commander Huo is really an affectionate and righteous person."
Xue Zhen nodded, "If you repay me and him, it's too raw; but I'm really moved by him."
Shen Xuanji also said yes, and then looked down, but frowned. "The letter said that the emperor's body is getting weaker and weaker, but his spirit is getting better and better. This situation is not better than when we left Qiongjiang!"
Xue Zhen snorted coldly, "That demon is the one they found to poison the emperor. I'm afraid that the hearts of their mother and son are well known, and only the emperor is still lying to himself."
Shen Xuanji didn't say anything. Xue Zhen knew that she died tragically for the spring, and he hated the emperor from the bottom of his heart. He squatted down and held Shen Xuanji's hand and didn't say anything.
Shen Xuanji smiled and said, "After all, he is your father, I know."
Xue Zhen was speechless, and Shen Xuanji had to continue reading the letter. When he saw the end, tears suddenly rolled out. Tears fell on the letter paper and wet the words "Shen Er, hello."
Xue Zhen took the letter paper from her hand, and Shen Xuanji still sobbed, "Can't she send me a letter, this cruel girl?"
Xue Zhen has learned the truth of Shen Yuluo's disappearance from Huo Qiyu. Although the man did not tell him how he rescued Shen Yingluo, he knew it, after all, it was a little more than Shen Xuanji.
He believes that there is no need for Shen Xuanji to know that Shen Yuluo has been disfigured at this time. First, they are in Qiyi at this moment, thousands of miles away from Qiongjiang; second, there is a magic doctor around Huo Qiyue who is treating Shen Yingluo. Xue Zhen had confidence in the medical skills of the magic doctor. When Shen Yuluo recovered, he told Shen Xuanji that it was better than making her feel powerless now.
"Don't worry, she has the 'Jin Wuwei' leader to take care of it. She will be fine." Xue Zhen comforted Shen Xuanji.
Shen Xuanji thought about it. Shen Yuluo was beside Huo Qiyu, safer than her in the guard house, so she slowly relieved.
Seeing that she calmed down, Xue Zhen picked up the words in front of him, "I also expected the wilderness here, but they want to trap us here. I'm afraid it's not that easy."
Shen Xuanji smiled and said, "They don't have to trap us to death. They don't have to say a big disrespectful word, as long as the demon doctor continues to use medicine to the emperor like this... At that time, you and I will die if you are not trapped, it's nothing more than a difference in the crime."
"The tiger charm is still in the emperor's own hands." Xue Zhen was brainless.
Shen Xuanji exhaled. Thank God, it seemed that he was not dizzy.
"What does the third prince and the sixth prince mean?" Shen Xuanji asked.
"They dare not send a letter. Qi Yu said that the three king brothers could not see the emperor except for the upper court, let alone the six king brothers." Xue Zhen frowned, "The sixth sister-in-law is bold. After we left, she wanted to go to the palace to see the emperor, but she was also stopped by the eighth princess."
"The Eighth Princess hasn't been sick for many days. How can she go to the palace to stop people?" Shen Xuanji said strangely.
"This eighth princess is not the eighth princess." Xue Zhen sneered, "The eighth princess died of illness for less than seven days, and she married the youngest daughter of General Hu Jin of Anping for her son."
Shen Xuanji felt cold. Although she and the eighth princess had always been at odds and hated her for being a tiger, when she thought about it, she was only in her twenties and had buried her bones in the loess.
"Is it just for the last time, the son of the world said an unintentional word?" Shen Xuanji muttered.
"The prince is unintentional, and the eighth princess may not be unintentional." Xue Zhen said, "Don't you know the nature of their mother and son? She is like a fox and poisonous like a snake. The eighth princess has a crooked mind. Can they still let her go?
"She is also pitiful." Shen Xuanji gave the same evaluation of the early-death eighth princess as Xue Zhen.
"He now has a father-in-law with military power, and I'm afraid he is more proud." Shen Xuanji was deeply aware of the crisis.
"There are not many soldiers, but in refinement." Xue Zhen smiled, "In addition to being barren, there is another natural advantage, that is, it is close to the place where the 'Wei army' is stationed."
"Hmm, it's also close to Muto." Shen Xuanji glanced at him and said, "Aren't you afraid of the eternal scolding of a traitor?"
"In my heart, the king who makes the people live is the traitor." Xue Zhen said, "We have seen it along the way. It's okay to be closer to Qiongjiang. The more you come here, the more barren and desolate it is. There are few people in the city, otherwise, like the previous states and counties, there will be hunger on the road.
"If I had known earlier, my vision would not have been so narrow. I would only look at Qiongjiang." Xue Zhen deeply regretted, "If you want to delay now, I'm afraid that there will be more lives of innocent people."
This is already a great disrespectful statement, but Shen Xuanji's eyes were bright when he heard it, "Why don't we go back to Beijing?"
Xue Zhen was helpless, "Where did you learn the words of these mountain thieves and bandits?"
Shen Xuanji thought about it carefully, "It seems that Brother Fang and I are on the way to Qiongjiang with my brothers and sisters..."
Xue Zhen touched her head, "I want to talk to you."
Shen Xuanji grabbed his hand and said, "I'm also happy to talk to you. The situation is like this. You and I are just looking for survival. Unless the emperor himself doubts, the accession of the Eighth Prince to the throne is a certainty. At that time, we, my ancestors, Yulang, Yingluo and Coral will die. Shen Xuanji is not so naive. She never felt that if she died, Xiang Yuan and Xiang's aunt would still treat coral well. Most of them would hand her over and be a good example of killing relatives like Wei Ji.
"I'm still young and I don't want to die." She leaned her head on Xue Zhen, "We still have a lifetime to live. I don't want anyone to destroy it."
"We have to live. No one else can control this matter." Shen Xuanji said.
Since Xue Zhen and his wife reached a consensus, they returned a letter to Huo Qiyue. Although he did not dare to write it clearly, he thought that with the tacit understanding between himself and Huo for many years, he must know what he meant.
He was busy in the study when he heard a delicate and timid voice outside, "Brother Shuangchi, is the prince there?"
Since Shuangchi was scolded by Xue Zhen last time, whether Xue Zhen is in the study or not, as long as he is idle, he will always guard him. He was standing outside looking at the sky. When he heard the sound, he looked back and saw a man wearing an emerald green skirt, with his hair shruged, and a thin layer of pink on his face. He looked as elegant as Lan Zhen. Who was so bold as Lan?
Shuangchi still had a lingering lingering heart about what happened last time. As soon as he saw her, he looked bitterly, "Miss Lan Zhen, the study is not where you came from. You'd better go back!"
Lan Zhen held a boxwood tray in her hand and was tired all the way from the kitchen. After listening to the double pool, her face collapsed. But after all, she is not as long-chested and brainless as Yingyu. She still said with a smile, "What did Brother Shuangchi say? I saw that the prince has worked hard these days and specially stewed tonics to mend for the prince."
Shuangchi was about to cry, "The prince's food is all in charge of Sister Lanqing in the princess's house. Miss Lan Zhen is worried."
Lan Zhen was annoyed, "If you are not allowed to enter, you have to ask the prince to say that Shuangchi little brother is a fox fake tiger power!"
Shuangchi was also annoyed. Originally, he wanted to stop her. Neither of them had to be scolded. Unexpectedly, Lan Zhen was so unreasonable. Shuangchi shook his sleeves and said, "The prince is doing something important now. If there is anything, can you afford it?"
Lanzhen became arrogant. She came from a good background and came out of the palace. Naturally, she did not pay attention to such a little eunuch as Shuangchi. Even Mother Hua was not angry with her because she was Xue Zhen's wet nurse.
"If you are not the prince, how can you make the decision for the prince? Do you want to rebel?" Lan Zhenhu asked Shuangchi with a face.
When Shuangchi saw her words, he was so angry that he was about to refute it. He heard Xue Zhen say in the room without joy or anger, "Let her in."
Shuangchi walked aside with his head down. Lan Zhen was proud and afraid of getting bored with Xue Zhen. He quickly straightened his look and walked into the study with the tray in his hand.
Xue Zhen has received the letter and sat leisurely behind the table, looking at Lan Zhen who came in.
Lan Zhen looked up at him carefully, but saw that there was no smile on his face as when Yingyu was remediated last time, and he was relieved.
If Xue Zhen didn't like the cap made by her hand, she wouldn't have had the courage to look for him.
She put the tray on the case and carefully brought out the stew cup, "Your Majesty, this is stewed by the maidservant. Please use it while it's hot!"
Xue Zhen nodded, "You just said that Shuangchi wanted to rebel?"
Lan Zhen was shocked and said with a smile, "I know I'm wrong, and I dare not do it anymore."
Xue Zhen turned a deaf ear, "Shuangchi is the person next to me. If you let someone with intentions hear this, what should you do?"
Lan Zhen knelt softly on his knees, "I'm just unintentional and will never let others hear it!"
Xue Zhen shook his head, "Although I say so, I can't keep you. How about sending you back to Qiongjiang?"
Lan Zhen didn't expect him to be so ruthless. She climbed to his feet and reached out and pulled the corners of his clothes. "The prince and maidservant don't dare anymore. Don't treat me like Yingyu!"
Xue Zhen smiled and said, "You are the same people and fight with the same mind. How can I favor the other?"
Lan Zhen didn't expect him to look at them like this, and she suddenly burst out, "No! I'm different from them! I really like you!"
