Chapter 35 Travel
At the same time, Zhao Shiqing was wearing a double bun, a white velvet flower, and a plain dress. She was sitting in a carriage with several maids similarly dressed.
Ling Bo sat next to her. In addition to their master and servant, there were four maids in the carriage. They were all sent by Zhao Yunnuan to Zhao Shiqing.
There were four other men, pretending to be Xiao Prince Consort's followers, in another carriage.
The carriage was not moving very fast. Zhao Shiqing would occasionally lift the curtain and look at the scenery outside. The fields on the hillside were lush with grass and trees, and farmers were working hard among the green seedlings. Occasionally, a few cuckoos could be heard singing.
"When we get to the tipping point later, Lingbo, go out and see if Mr. Zhen and the others are following."
"Okay." Ling Bo agreed softly.
An hour later, the team came to a halt in front of a post house. The local parents, officials, officials from the yamen and the female relatives of their respective families knelt on the roadside to greet the eldest princess Jiayi.
The eldest princess was disgusted and said to Prince Consort Xiao: "Brother Yan, go deal with them. Just say that I am mentally and physically exhausted and don't want to see anyone."
Prince Consort Xiao patted her hand: "If you don't see me, you'll see me. I'll go out and have a look."
While Prince Consort Xiao got off the carriage, the maids and servants walked out of the carriage one after another to give the eldest princess some snacks and tea.
Zhao Shiqing didn't get out of the car, and the other four maids didn't go out either. Only Ling Bo pretended to go to the toilet and went around to the back of the line.
After a while, Ling Bo returned to the car and said to Zhao Shiqing: "A few dozen feet away from the eldest princess's car, there were several carriages. The carriages were old and simple, without family crests. When our carriage stopped, they also stopped. Someone I got out of the car and looked around. The slave looked at me and saw that he didn’t look like someone who knew martial arts, but more like an ordinary businessman.”
Zhao Shiqing nodded. If she guessed correctly, Xiao Zhen was among those people.
Xiao Zhen will not rest assured that the eldest princess and his wife will return to the capital by themselves. Although he pretends to be dead, it does not prevent him from going back.
On the contrary, in Zhao Shiqing's opinion, the feeling that you all thought I was dead, but I was watching you from the side, was irritating to think about.
Zhao Shiqing remembered that just yesterday, Xiao Zhen took the initiative to find her and added another condition on the basis of their cooperation.
Before that, Zhao Shiqing really didn't expect that Xiao Zhen would increase the price midway. This person didn't look like someone who liked to bargain.
As for the fact that Prince Consort Xiao had a foreign wife, Zhao Shiqing only heard about it when he returned to Liangdu this time. This matter was almost universally known in the capital, and it was not a secret even in Liangdu. After all, Prince Consort Xiao came out of Liangdu. , every move he makes will become the talk of Liangdi people.
It's just that Zhao Shiqing is usually in the mountains, so this is the first time he heard about this.
She never expected that the one Xiao Zhen added would be the foreigner.
When Xiao Zhen asked her to leave the capital, no matter whether the matter was successful or not, he would bring Xiao Yue back to Liangdi and ensure Xiao Yue's safety in Liangdi.
In Liangdi, apart from the Xiao family, if there is anyone who can protect Xiao Yue, it is only the Liang Prince's Mansion.
But Zhao Shiqing didn't understand why Xiao Zhen didn't entrust Xiao Yue to the Xiao family.
Although Xiao Yue is a foreigner, even if his bones are broken and his tendons are connected, he is still a descendant of the Xiao family. Isn't it right for the Xiao family to protect him?
However, these are things that Xiao Zhen has to weigh. What Zhao Shiqing can do is to bring Xiao Yue back to Liangdi after the matter is completed.
Xiao Zhen helped her take Zhao Tinghan out of Beijing, and she wanted to protect Xiao Yue.
Of course, the person Xiao Zhen really wanted Xiao Yue to rely on was not Zhao Shiqing, but Zhao Yunnuan, the person behind Zhao Shiqing.
In fact, Xiao Zhen could directly negotiate with Zhao Yunnuan, but perhaps due to his resentment towards Zhao Yunnuan in his previous life, or perhaps for reasons that even Xiao Zhen himself could not explain, he bypassed Zhao Yunnuan and found Zhao Shiqing instead.
At this time, Xiao Zhen was also sitting in the carriage. In terms of comfort, his carriage was far inferior to the carriages used by the servants in the princess's palace. However, this carriage was quietly brought to him by Xiao Wu Taiye. The carriage is equipped with machinery. He sits in the carriage and can attack or defend.
If necessary, you can also kill yourself.
The carriage from the eldest princess's residence stopped, and his carriage stopped with it. He sat in the car and closed his eyes to meditate. Jiang Ping's voice rang in his ears: "Master, Miss Zhao's maid just came over and has been looking at us. carriage.”
"Well, she can watch it if she wants to." Xiao Zhen said lazily.
Jiang Ping reminded: "It's time for you to take medicine."
Xiao Zhen sighed, took out a porcelain bottle from his close-fitting clothes, poured a few pills into his mouth, and swallowed them directly without using any water.
Since the injury, he has become a medicine pot.
In less than a month, he took three times more medicine than he had taken in the previous eighteen years combined.
Jiang Ping added: "There are also health pills sent by Her Royal Highness the Princess. You can also take one."
Xiao Zhen: "Don't eat."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
With such a decisive answer, Jiang Ping didn't know how to persuade her. Forget it, let the eldest princess persuade her herself. Growing up, as long as the eldest son said he didn't want to eat something, he wouldn't take a bite.
At this time, the carriage of the eldest princess in front finally started, and the driver Da Zhuang also waved his whip, and the carriage followed the long carriage and moved forward slowly.
After walking for another two hours, the car stopped again. It was almost dusk, and half of the sky was reflected red by the sunset.
Xiao Zhen asked: "Is there a post house in front?"
Through the car curtain, Da Zhuang said: "It's not a post house, it's an inn, a very big inn!"
Xiao Zhen frowned slightly: "What are you doing? I can't stay in the official post, but I want to stay in the inn!"
Jiang Ping said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the Princess feels sorry for you. How can the official post office be as comfortable as an inn? Besides, with your current status, you cannot live in the official post office."
Xiao Zhen: "The official post is far safer than the inn. Besides, they can just live in the official post themselves. I can go and stay in the inn. It's really unnecessary and makes people worry less every day."
But no matter how angry Xiao Zhen was, the eldest princess and Xiao Prince Consort still stayed in this auspicious inn.
The inn was large and luxuriously decorated. Knowing that the eldest princess wanted to stay here, the innkeeper quickly invited the owner. The owner brought all his wife and daughters, saying that he would let them serve the eldest princess.
In fact, including the boss himself, they could not even see the eldest princess.
But even so, there were still officials and family members living in the city who heard the news. It was already dark and they did not dare to disturb the house, so they sent their servants to inquire about the news.
Although there were guards from the Princess's Palace guarding the Jixiang Inn, there were only a hundred people there. Xiao Zhen sat in the carriage and watched the sneaky figures who stretched their heads out and remained silent
In order to take care of her son, the eldest princess deliberately stayed in the inn, but she forgot that after she moved in, the inn would no longer receive other guests, and there were no other inns around. Tonight, her eldest son was going to It was a miserable night in the carriage.
