187 Going out to Gongyue
187 Go out and rush to Gongyue
"What's the matter?" Grandma Gu Yi asked.
"The prince said that the beauties in the backyard should be sent away. As for what method to use, you and Manager Huyan can consider it yourself. I am going to Gongyue this time. I don't know when I will come back. However, I hope to wait until I come back.
After that, the backyard has been vacated."
Jiuyin ordered General Manager Huyan to come over, briefly explained a few words to ask Sister Gu Yi and General Manager Huyan to take care of the affairs of the palace, and then wrote a letter and ordered people to send it to Miss Ziyun of Fengmeng, and then they and Ruhua
Together we arrived at the main front yard of the palace.
In the courtyard, Jingchuan led nine brothers of the Eighteenth Cavalry and waited quietly.
Accompanied by Ruhua, Jiuyin got on the carriage, and the others also jumped on their horses, and the convoy of dozens of fifteen people hurriedly left Prince Yi's Mansion and rushed towards the city gate.
This time, not only were Ruhua and Qingtong accompanying them, but Tuoba Huier and Hongxiu were also taken along by Jiuyin. She was not as relaxed as when she went to Fengqi, and she had an extra little one to protect.
In life, we can no longer be too careless in our actions.
His little hand unconsciously fell on his abdomen, and he felt a mixture of emotions in his heart.
She originally wanted to tell her about her pregnancy after sending Feng Chenye away, but she didn't want to think about Qingcheng. The adults would be running around, and the child would be affected as well. She was unable to let him grow up slowly in a comfortable environment, but
She will definitely give him the greatest care in the future and make him the happiest person in the world.
"Girl." A picturesque call sounded slowly from beside her.
Jiuyin was startled and quickly took away the hand on her belly.
She was careless for a moment and exposed too many emotions in front of such a picture. I wonder if this behavior has been noticed by her.
Ruhua was the most attentive of the four girls, and the only one who knew that after she left the palace that day, she went to the busy city to see a doctor.
Meeting her uneasy and caring eyes, Jiuyin let out a breath, knowing that some things could never be hidden.
She has been serving him closely for so long, and she knows better than anyone how long it has been since her period.
"Just ask if you want to know anything." She smiled helplessly. Maybe she shouldn't hide this from Ruhua. After all, she had already made up her mind to stay in Prince Yi's Mansion and wait for Feng Chenye to return in triumph and find Qingcheng.
, after bringing him back safely, she will live a plain and quiet life from then on.
In less than two months, the condition of my body will be exposed, whether or not I talk about it.
"How long?" Ruhua's eyes fell on her belly. In fact, she had already suspected it before, but the girl didn't let her ask, so she didn't ask anything. She just wanted to be more careful and attentive in her life.
.
"It's been almost a month." Jiuyin said calmly.
Ruhua's heart tightened slightly, she shook her head and sighed: "The girl shouldn't have gone out this time. Going from the imperial city to Gongyue is a long and arduous journey, and the first three months of pregnancy are the most unbearable for women."
Jiuyin didn't say anything. She had heard this common sense before, but if something happened to Qingcheng, how could she not care?
Although she knew she was in love with Feng Chenye, as she said, she couldn't let go of Zhan Qingcheng, at least not for now.
No matter how much the world scolds her for being frivolous, it cannot change the fact that she has two men in her heart. Making the decision to stay with Feng Chenye does not mean that she can completely drive Qingcheng out of her heart.
What's more, Qingcheng insisted on believing that she was his future wife until the moment before leaving the imperial city...
"Let everyone be more defensive these days. I will take care of myself." After a long time, she suddenly said.
Ruhua was startled and slightly frightened: "Did the girl notice something?"
"Just a guess."
Gongyue's two old nuns were killed, and Zhan Qingcheng was ambushed. It was obvious that the person in charge was still making trouble behind the scenes, but this time, she was afraid that the person had already known Zhan Qingcheng's identity, otherwise he would not have repeatedly
Take action against Qingcheng.
However, Lien Zhan Qingcheng's whereabouts and actions were so well known that he even set up an ambush in advance to kill the person before Qingcheng. If the person behind him wasn't too powerful, then there was a traitor around them.
Is the traitor from Prince Yi's Mansion or from Qingcheng?
Jiuyin actually felt bad all the time. Not only did she feel chilled by the possibility of a traitor, she was also worried about Zhan Qingcheng's safety.
Although she had always acted calm, the occasional flash of worry in her eyes would definitely reveal her inner thoughts.
If there is a traitor in the palace, their trip will be in great danger.
The carriage was still speeding along the official road, and the sound of the wheels pressing against the gravel on the ground drowned out the voices of the two talking.
"Girl, what are your thoughts on taking a group of eighteen riders out this time?" Ruhua asked suddenly.
Jiuyin had already briefly told her about Zhan Qingcheng's ambush. Naturally, she also thought of what Jiuyin thought of.
Hearing this, Jiuyin unconsciously looked out the car window.
From her current angle, she couldn't see clearly everything in front of her, and could only occasionally see the profile of Qingtong who was guarding the side of the carriage.
Qingtong and Jingchuan walked on both sides of the carriage, naturally to protect her. In fact, she felt a little uneasy. If the traitor was Jingchuan, Qingtong and Ruhua might not be able to defeat him.
Jingchuan is the most powerful martial artist among the eighteen knights, but he has also been with Feng Chenye the longest. Could he be the one who betrayed the information to the person behind him?
Jiuyin didn't speak, and Ruhua naturally couldn't say anything. He knew that many words couldn't be said casually, so he had to swallow all the questions back in his stomach.
She grabbed a soft blanket from the side and folded it, laying it next to Jiuyin, gesturing for her to give up her seat slightly with her eyes.
Jiuyin understood and moved her body slightly. After Ruhua spread the soft blanket in her original position, she sat down again.
"It looks like we are about to leave the imperial city." Ruhua piled a pile of quilts high and piled them next to Jiuyin. He glanced out of the car window, looked back at Jiuyin and said, "Girl, take a break first. At noon
Stop and rest, and I’ll call the girl up again.”
"Okay." Jiuyin didn't refuse. It was just a little bit of energy that she could retain at this time. She still had a lot of things to do, and she couldn't waste even half of her energy.
Probably because of her pregnancy, even if the carriage kept bumping, in such an environment, Jiuyin was still able to fall asleep, and even slept for more than an hour. This kind of sleeping ability was not even useful to her.
I admire you very much.
If it weren't for the faint sadness on her eyebrows, Ruhua would think that she would be sleeping very soundly, but she knew that with so many things happening, Jiuyin's heart was not relaxed at all even in her sleep.
After the convoy left the imperial city, it soon entered a dense forest. Although it was still an official road, both sides of the road were surrounded by deep mountains and wild forests, and there was no human habitation at all.
At noon, the motorcade stopped in the forest.
Ruhua woke up Jiuyin, helped her out of the carriage, and went to a small river not far away to clean herself.
When they came back, everyone had already found a place to rest. Jingchuan prepared a resting place for Jiuyin, handed her dry food and a water bag, and said:
"Girl, we can't get out of this dense forest tonight. We have to sleep outside at night. Judging from the current speed, we won't be able to reach the next town until tomorrow evening."
Jiuyin nodded, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Are there other trails that can reach Gongyue faster?"
Jingchuan was startled and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Before going out, the prince had repeatedly told him to protect Jiuyin. There were no shortcuts, but there was always danger, and he did not dare to take risks at will.
Seeing his hesitation, Jiuyin smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, I feel relieved with you guys by my side. You should know the urgency of the matter. We must get to Gongyue as soon as possible."
He knew that the general's safety was also something he cared about, and he himself was very anxious, but he still couldn't be sure.
"There is another road, which has to pass through two rivers and two mountains. The journey is difficult, and girls may not be able to survive it."
"How much faster can it be?" Jiuyin asked.
Jingchuan thought for a while and then said: "If we walk on the official road, at our current pace, we can reach Gongyue in ten days. If we take the shortcut, it will take six days, but only if there are no obstacles on the road.
"
Jiuyin understood what he meant. The so-called "blocking" was an unexpected situation.
Is he also thinking about something?
Jiuyin and Ruhua looked at each other and were silent for a moment before Jiuyin said, "Where is the bifurcation of the official road and the short road?"
"This dense forest is at the end."
"Okay, I'll think about it tonight and tell you my decision tomorrow."
"Girl..." Jingchuan was a little embarrassed. He was the conductor of this trip, so he naturally hoped that the route could be clarified so that he could prepare corresponding countermeasures early.
Especially when listening to the meaning of Jiuyin, it seems that people are more inclined to take the shortcut. If they take the shortcut, they have to order people to pave the way first.
"Have a good rest and hit the road immediately after burning the incense." Jiuyin ignored him and ate dry food with Ruhua.
He had no choice but to walk aside and take a few mouthfuls of dry food. While he was full and full, the time for burning incense passed quickly.
When everyone returned to their seats and Jiuyin and Ruhua got on the carriage, they discovered that one person was missing from the team.
"Where did Shi Sheng go?" Qing Tong rode up to Jingchuan and asked in a deep voice.
Jingchuan shook his head. Everyone was here just now and he didn't notice where he was going.
Shi Sheng's horse was still tied to a tree pole nearby and was gnawing on the grass quietly, but the others were nowhere to be seen.
He rode back to the carriage and said respectfully to the people in the carriage: "Girl, Shi Sheng is leaving the team. Can we go ahead and leave a signal for him to follow?"
Leaving the team happens from time to time. If it's just for one person, it's not worth it.
The people in the carriage were silent for a moment, and then Jiuyin's soft voice came: "How you hurried in the past is how you are now. You are better at this kind of thing than me, so there is no need to ask me in the future."
