Chapter 453 The Crown Prince and the Young Madam
“What?”
Mu Xian looked solemn, but did not show any surprise or anger. He only remained silent for a moment before saying: " Why do you say that?"
Cheng Qiao said: "There was a fire in the general's residence. Why did you only investigate a little about such a big thing?"
"..."
"It seems that I don't want to investigate further."
"..."
"Also, the general's illness has been delayed for so many days and has not improved. He can't be found. Medicine, are we just going to keep putting it off like this? Isn’t that the only way to die?”
At this point, he seemed to dare not say any more.
Mu Xian’s eyes flickered even more.
He said in a deep voice: "Do you doubt the young lady?"
Hearing this, Cheng Qiao also changed his face and waved his hands hastily: "No, I don't!"
"... ..."
"I just feel...a little weird."
"..."
"The other thing is - the Crown Prince, he came over suddenly this time, saying that the Ministry of War wanted to hold accountable the last defeat, but after he came, he didn't even say a word to that Ma Xu. And, why do I feel that the Crown Prince and There seems to be something between the young ladies..."
He said I was very careful when I said this. I was originally talking about the master's affairs, and it was about men and women. Before I finished speaking, I felt that Mu Xian's face changed obviously. He immediately closed his mouth, but saw that Mu Xian had a complicated look on his face. Glancing at him, he seemed hesitant to speak, which made Cheng Qiao even more confused.
He asked: "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"
Mu Xian was silent for a while and then said: "You just came from Jiangdu, so I don't know, but, Sooner or later, you have to know this taboo when you are with the general."
"What taboo?"
"Young madam, the original arrangement was to marry the prince."
"What!?"
Cheng Qiao looked at him with wide eyes in astonishment for a while, and then again Looking back, I looked far away and could only vaguely see the scattered objects in the night. In the courtyard where the light was emitting, he said: "The Young Madam and the Crown Prince are——, then——"
He lowered his voice and said in disbelief: "Do you doubt the Young Madam——"
Mu Xian frowned and shook his head gently.
He said: "Although, I also think that the Crown Prince seems to be a little bit fond of the young lady...but I still understand the young lady's character. She is by no means the kind of person who is quick and easy."
"..."
“It’s just that, just like what you just said, this time she The behavior is indeed a bit abnormal."
"..."
"The general's illness came so strangely this time. The young lady didn't check the cause or the cause of the illness, and just stayed there. Fufeng is in trouble, this is not like her usual behavior.”
"Then what should we do?"
Mu Xian thought for a while and only said: "No matter what, the safety of the general is the most important. No matter what happens next, we must protect the general first, and secondly, It is our duty to protect Fufeng during this expedition."
"I understand."
Cheng Qiao nodded and walked forward with him, just as he was leaving. , couldn't help but look back at the quiet and strange courtyard.
Everyone, almost all left.
Good Tong'er also led a newly sent team of men and began to patrol around the yard. As expected, he was very energetic, carrying a pair of copper hammers with a menacing look, and even stared at a fly for a long time. .
Seeing him like this, Yu Wenzu let out a chuckle.
He still wore the piece of cotton gauze, covering most of his face and only revealing his clear and beautiful eyes. Such a smile made him look a little gentler. Shang Ruyi turned to look at him and said nothing. , and lowered his head.
Yu Wenzuo said: "This child is quite interesting."
Shang Ruyi said: "Yeah."
"I heard from my father that Fengchen conquered Wanggang Village."
"Yes."
"I heard that he was originally a monk in the palace for Zhao - for His Majesty. The substitute is Shan Congzhen.”
“That’s him.”
“I didn’t expect that the children in the palace would be used by Feng Chen.”
"...As long as you are willing, let alone the children in the palace, even the palace guards can be used for your own purposes."
Hearing these words, Yuwen's eyes flickered for a moment, and he lowered his head to look at Shang Ruyi seemed to have a faint smile in his eyes: "For example?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi did not answer him.
After lowering his head and being silent for a while, he raised his head and looked at Yu Wensu and said, "It's getting late, brother, are you going to rest?"
Yu Wensu raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at her, and then looked back at the room.
Then he said: "It's time for me to rest too."
"..."
"It's just that this time it came in a hurry, and as soon as I came, I bumped into the person just now That matter, they haven't had time to prepare a room for me to rest, so I'm afraid they will have to wait here for a while."
Shang Ruyi said: "Brother didn't notify the people here in advance when he came to Fufeng?"
Yuwen said in surprise: "No."
"..."
Shang Ruyi's brows frowned slightly again.
Looking at her twinkling eyes, Yuwen Sui smiled faintly and said, "Why, my siblings seem to doubt me." Shang Ruyi was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't dare."
< br>
Yu Wenzhen said calmly: "I said, now I serve in the Ministry of War. This time, the Ministry of War wants to hold Fufeng accountable for his previous defeat. In addition, I am worried about Fengchen's health, so I asked Ying to come over. Naturally, no advance notice will be given in this case. "
Shang Ruyi was silent again and nodded: "In this case , then——"
Before she finished her words, she heard a sudden shout from the good boy outside the courtyard wall: "Who is it!"
There was a sudden sound like this in the silent night. With the sound, even the two people under the eaves were startled, and they heard a commotion outside, as if someone had been caught.
The two looked at each other and hurriedly walked out.
Not far from the courtyard gate, I saw Shantong'er leading a group of guards around a man, talking noisily. The man shouted anxiously: "I was ordered to find the crown prince!"
The good boy was stunned when he heard this.
Hearing this, Yu Wenwen also walked over. After taking a look, he said gently: "He is the person I am looking for. Don't get me wrong."
Shang Ruyi stepped forward and saw that it was a short man. The well-dressed man looked strange.
Good Tong'er pouted and said, "Master? Why did you call someone here in the middle of the night? You scared us for nothing."
Shang Ruyi immediately faced him: "Good Tong'er!"
Shang Tong'er held his mouth and lowered his head.
Yu Wenzui didn’t mind being scolded. He only smiled gently and said, “I just wrote a letter and asked the people at the inn to come over immediately and get it and send it out overnight. I don’t want to cause you any misunderstanding. ”
After saying that, he took out a sealed letter from his arms and handed it to the man.
The man took the letter, bowed, then turned and left.
It comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry.
Shan Tong'er didn't have much to say and just continued patrolling with the guards. Shang Ruyi stood there, watching the man's back disappear into the night.
Then he looked back at Yu Wensu: "Brother, where are you going to send this letter?"
Yu Wensu looked down at her, feeling calm, and said with a smile: "Daxing."< br>
“…?”
Shang Ruyi frowned slightly and said: "Brother has just arrived and sent a letter back? Is that letter to the Ministry of War?"
"I haven't done anything that the Ministry of War wants to hold accountable, so naturally it's not for me. "From the Ministry of War."
"That's——"
"For father"
Shang Ruyi. Her breath suffocated and she subconsciously opened her eyes to look at him. Yu Wenzhen's face turned serious, and he lowered his head and said to her: "The previous battle report only mentioned that Feng Chen was ill, and my father was already very worried. ; But I didn’t know Feng Chen’s true condition until I came here. Naturally, I can’t hide this kind of thing from him.”
"..."
"My brothers and sisters should know that it takes about a day to go from here to Daxing at a quick pace, which means-"
Shang Ruyi took over his words with a heavy breath. The head said: "In other words, in two days, dad's instructions will also be transmitted to Fufeng."
"That's right,"
Yu Wenzhen said: "At that time, it happens to be Fengchen’s illness——”
Although he hadn't finished speaking, Shang Ruyi fully understood what he meant.
If Yu Wenye's condition does not improve, it may happen in three days - then at that time, she needs to make an explanation to Sheng Guogong. After all, she insisted on letting Yu Wenye leave without a good doctor. There is no right medicine for Fufeng; if Yu Wenye's condition improves, after three days, Sheng Guogong, who knows his true condition, will definitely let Yu Wenye return to Daxing.
It is even possible that Sheng Guogong will not issue instructions in his own capacity, but will directly send transfer orders from the court. After all, he is already the prime minister.
At that time, Yu Wenye will have to leave.
This is a foolproof arrangement.
Shang Ruyi's breathing became a little deeper, and she whispered: "I understand."
"..."
"Brother is indeed careful in his actions."
Yu Wenzhen looked at her for a while, and then said: "However, now that my letter has been circulated, I will not urge you to take Feng Chen away in the future."
"..."
"So whatever you want to do next, you can do it freely."
"..."
"I will help you."
"...!"
Shang Ruyi glanced at him and didn't know what to say in response.
No matter it's sunny during the day or it's dark at night, the pupils in front of you are always translucent, with a bit of mystery that makes people unable to see the depth, just like what he said after revealing his true body and appearing in front of her. In everything he did, even if Shang Ruyi tried his best to convince himself that he was an enemy rather than a friend, he still couldn't be sure.
Who knows what his "gang" will be?
After a long silence, Shang Ruyi said: "Well, thank you very much, brother."
At this moment, Changshi Zhuzhe came over, bowed to the two of them, and then said to Yu Wenzuo Said: "Your Majesty, you The place to stay has been arranged, just next door."
Yu Wenzuo nodded, turned to Shang Ruyi and said, "Then, I will go and rest first. Please worry about Feng Chen. .”
Shang Ruyi said: "I don't dare."
Yu Wensu smiled slightly, turned around and left.
Shang Ruyi stood there, watching his back gradually blending into the deep night.
And in her eyes, there was a haze that was darker than the night.
