Chapter 109 Layout
At dawn, the embassy was as quiet as a pindrop, everyone was waiting for news.
Early in the morning, Fenghuang had slipped out of the embassy to inquire about the situation. When he came back, it was the second quarter of the morning. At this time, the emperor Chen Xu had already come out of Shixing's palace and drove back to the palace.
A carrier pigeon arrived at midnight. After taking the letter, Phoenix quickly came back and reported to Xiao Jinyu: "Brother Qing, as you expected, your Majesty has ordered the removal of General Tan Qi from his post, and also sentenced him to death. Xing, all the soldiers and horses surrounding our house have been withdrawn!"
Hearing the news, Xiao Xian breathed a sigh of relief. Although he stayed in the embassy that night, he was worried about his mother's safety all the time.
If Xiao Jinyu hadn't reassured him again and again, he would never have been able to sit here and wait and do nothing.
"My dear lady, you are really good at predicting events. How did you know that after His Majesty learned about King Shixing, he would definitely order the soldiers and horses surrounding Xiao's house to be withdrawn?" Li Mi asked curiously.
When she learned that King Shixing sent troops to besiege "Xiao's house" at night, many people in the hall were anxious, but she was the only one who was calm and calm, and could sleep peacefully.
But then again, this little lady has been through many troubles, so she must be too tired to fall asleep frequently.
It’s quite distressing to look at!
While Li Mi was thinking, Xiao Jinyu smiled calmly and replied:
"I was just betting on whether the emperor was so partial that he would protect his relatives to the point of no bottom line. As early as in the East Palace, the painting I gave him already hinted at the ambition of King Shiheung.
After that There are also people asking for orders in slanderous wooden letters,
and Li Langjun and Cui Langjun’s help yesterday, which made the people in Jiankang city complain about my matter.
In this way, if Chen Xu wanted to protect his son, he would be no different from a coward! "
After hearing that Xiao Jinyu was brought into the palace by King Shixing yesterday, Li Mi and Cui Heng tried their best to use the power of public opinion to build momentum for her, hoping to use the power of public complaints and indignation to attract the attention of the Southern Dynasty emperor and save Xiao Jinyu from danger. .
Unexpectedly, the young lady had already guessed it before he said anything about it.
He is really... so smart that he can see into people's hearts!
Li Mi couldn't help laughing.
"My dear lady, your reputation has been so great recently, and my dear lady is a truly benevolent healer. She cured many people as soon as she arrived in Jiankang City. Those people all remember my lady's kindness in their hearts.
Since ancient times, If you don't agree, you will cry out. If something like this happens to you, little lady, someone will definitely seek justice for you!"
Xiao Jinyu just smiled.
"Thank you!"
"So what next? How? What can we do for you?"
Li Mi asked a series of questions.
Xiao Jinyu glanced at the crowd. Every pair of eyes was looking at her sincerely, full of trust in her.
After pondering for a moment, she opened her lips and said:
"Spread rumors!"
"Then, I'm waiting for an opportunity!"
"An opportunity for them to come to me!"
…
The siege of soldiers and horses was resolved, and those who stayed in the embassy no longer worried that King Shiheung would send people to search the embassy again, so everyone dispersed.
Li Mi and Cui Heng were the first to leave the embassy, and then Xiao Xian also took Shiniang, Yuan Rujing and Ayuan in a carriage to return to Xiao's house under the protection of King Lanling's guards.
Originally Xiao Xian wanted Xiao Jinyu to go back with them, but Xiao Jinyu said that he still had something to do and needed to go to Xinghua Yanyu Tower.
Although Xiao Xian was worried about her safety, he respected her intention and stopped forcing her.
Once again, only Prince Lanling, Xiao Jinyu, Fenghuang and Lu Yu were left in the embassy hall.
After a long silence, Xiao Jinyu suddenly said: "I will return these clothes to the prince in a few days."
Gao Changgong said: "No, when I gave it to you, I had no intention of getting it back. I saw that you were dressed very well. If you don't mind it..."
"But this is something that is treasured by the county king. It must have been left by a very important person, right?"
Xiao Jinyu interrupted him, looked at him and asked.
King Lanling fell silent immediately, and after a moment he only smiled slightly: "It's not a precious thing, so just accept it!" he said.
It seemed that he didn't want to say anything, so Xiao Jinyu stopped asking, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! Thank you, the prince!"
Just as she was about to say goodbye and leave, a child suddenly rushed in front of her and crawled at her feet.
"Boy, what are you doing? This little lady is your savior!"
"You're a lucky boy. If you hadn't met this miraculous doctor, your body would have been beaten to a pulp, even if the gods were alive, it would be difficult to save you!"
"And in order to save you, this little lady almost..." "Don't blame him, he was also tired of me..." Xiao Jinyu interrupted.
The boy with a dirty face seemed shocked. He raised his head and stared at Xiao Jinyu blankly.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Xiao Jinyu took the lead and asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"
The boy nodded: "Yes, my family was originally a merchant in Jiangzhou. My father had been doing business for many years and accumulated some family property. But just a year ago, King Shixing came to Jiangzhou as governor and forced my father to hand over all his property. But even so, he still didn't let our family go. Not only did he kill my father and mother, but he also forced my sister to work as a slave in his house. So yesterday, when I stopped King Shiheung's car, I didn't actually want to beg. And originally I wanted to assassinate him...
Wife, the miracle doctor, I want to follow you, do things for you, and avenge my father, my mother, and my sister! "
Is he another person whose family was ruined by Chen Shuling?
Xiao Jinyu was slightly moved.
"But your injuries haven't healed yet. You need to recuperate. It's not safe here with me..."
"Madam, I can spread rumors. I know many, many beggars. As long as Madam teaches me how to say it, I will say whatever I want."
Seeing the boy's eyes full of begging, Xiao Jinyu felt sad and fell silent.
She turned her attention to Gao Changgong again, seeming to make a request.
Gao Changgong immediately understood what she meant, and said to the boy: "You stay with me for now. In a few days, when this little lady needs you, she will come to you!"
"Okay, thank you to this fairy brother, and thank you to this fairy lady!"
Xiao Jinyu looked at Prince Lanling, smiled, and asked:
"May I have your name?"
The boy who was suddenly asked his name raised his head in surprise again. Being asked his name meant that this good-looking lady was really willing to take him in, right?
“My name is not nice, everyone calls me...Agou!”
Are you unwilling to tell your real name?
This kid is quite defensive!
Xiao Jinyu smiled and said: "It really doesn't sound good. Then I'll give you a name... let's call it Yueying. What do you think?"
Yueying? Yueying!
He has a new name!
"Okay, thank you madam, thank you madam!"
The boy was ecstatic, and soon followed Gao Changgong's instructions to the clean room with a guard to wash away the dirt all over his body.
Xiao Jinyu thanked Gao Changgong again and walked out of the embassy with Fenghuang. But just as she stepped out, she heard Gao Changgong calling:
"Xiao's Ayu!"
Xiao Jinyu paused, turned around, and saw Gao Changgong bringing a curtain over and putting it on for her himself.
"Since your mother tried so hard to protect your appearance from being exposed, you must also protect yourself!"
"I will check on your mother's affairs in Qi State for you!"
"Also...if you need anything, you can always come to me!"
Xiao Jinyu raised her head and looked at him blankly. She knew that due to the influence of the original owner, she would easily develop a liking for Gao Changgong, but did this different feeling come from her true heart?
And in the carriage, the kiss she gave him due to the power of the medicine actually seduced him into confusion, but he stopped and woke up in time at the last moment when he wanted her...
It would be a lie to say that she was not moved at all by what he said.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Jinyu said: "Okay!" and left in a carriage with Fenghuang.
Gao Changgong was still worried and sent two guards to follow him secretly.
It wasn't until Xiao Jinyu's carriage was far away that he gradually came back to his senses.
"Prince, are you upset?"
Lu Yu joked while looking at his expression.
"Did something happen between you in the carriage last night?"
"No, I held back..."
After muttering something to himself, Gao Changgong realized something and turned back to glare at Lu Yu. He saw that Lu Yu's face was full of sadness, and he didn't know what was going on in his head!
“Don’t talk nonsense about this kind of thing, it will affect her reputation!”
Lu Yu nodded, but he was wailing in his heart: Can you bear this? That is a stunning beauty in her arms!
It’s over, my county prince is really sick. I will definitely have a good relationship with that little lady later and beg her to cure my county prince’s illness!
