Chapter 144 As long as you don’t die, it’s okay (second update)
I don’t know how Zhao Quan negotiated with Zhao Xian, but Zhao Xian finally left with his people.
"Did you tell him my identity?"
Zhao Quan shook his head: "No, I just said that the wife is someone specially assigned by the emperor to escort her. The emperor's order is first, and he does not dare to disobey."
Quite aware of current affairs.
Zhao Quan did not tell Ye Wanwan that anyone who stopped holding the imperial order would be punished.
Zhao Xian, the eldest son, can only stand here and kneel in front of the imperial power.
The emperor now cares about the imperial concubine. Not only did he send someone to escort her, but he also gave the emperor an order, in order to ensure a smooth journey and return safely. Zhao Quan naturally did not dare to let this matter go wrong.
Once the people who obstructed the journey are resolved, we can naturally set off.
Ye Wanwan was sure that Mu Ling would not just swallow this bad breath. If she knew her identity in the future, she might still have to make a fuss. It would be better to make a fuss.
She just wanted to see what direction things would take when the inherent development was interrupted.
"Madam, someone is following us."
The person who will follow them at this time is obviously related to Mu Ling, but I don't know if it is a member of the Mu family or a member of King Sichuan.
Ye Wanwan knocked on the tea cup: "Don't hurt your life."
As long as you don't die, that's fine.
The people were dealt with, and their identities were confirmed when they came back: "Zhao Xian's people."
It's really not that surprising. These men, knowing that the other person is engaged, are still so enthusiastic and sad. In the end, they have nothing and nothing to gain. What are they doing?
Ye Wanwan had been walking for a day, and it was already evening. The gold that had fallen behind was slow to arrive. She was dusty, but her eyes were filled with light.
"Madam, I have heard about it. The man's name is Lu Qu, and he is from Rongzhou. His grandfather used to be the prefect of Rongzhou, but because of accepting bribes, the whole family was raided, the prefect Lu was exiled, and Lu Qu's father died of illness."
"His grandfather had some friendship with the Mu family, so he sent Lu Qu to the Mu family and begged the Mu family to take him in. Lu Qu was raised in the Mu family."
"In the beginning, Lu Qu lived a good life for a few years, and his treatment was equal to that of a young master. But as time went by, the Mu family would not always provide for him. Gradually, his status declined and they treated him with a lot of neglect.
He even often shouts and shouts, and his status is stuck between the master and the servant, but sometimes he is so humble that he is not even as good as a servant."
"Lu Qu and Mu Ling can be considered childhood sweethearts. They have followed Mu Ling since childhood, guarded her, and obeyed her words. They naturally fell in love with Mu Ling, but it is impossible for the Mu family to marry their legitimate daughter to such a person. Mu Ling
I also looked down on him, but he was so infatuated and stalked me, always thinking that he could move Mu Ling with his sincerity. He pestered me so much that he was kicked out of the Mu family in the end, which led to the previous scene."
"Mu Ling came here this time because it is Princess Sichuan's birthday in a few days. It is said that Princess Sichuan liked Muling very much, so she specially invited her here, and Prince Sichuan is here to pick her up."
What a coincidence.
Isn't it a coincidence that she happened to appear at that juncture, not only meeting Mu Ling, but also seeing Lu Qu and Zhao Xian?
Then Zhao Xian was probably not invited by Lu Qu, but happened to meet him and went there together.
Ye Wanwan couldn't stand Mu Ling and would definitely step on her, but Prince Chuan... was an unexpected anomaly.
Ye Wanwan was not afraid at all of Mu Ling's attack. She was not afraid when she didn't know it was Mu Ling at the beginning, and even less afraid when she found out.
She still has ways to restrain the Mu family, but now there is an additional prince of Sichuan.
It's not that I'm afraid of King Sichuan, it's that I'm in trouble.
Even though these princes were sent to distant lands and had little real power, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse. They had been here for so many years and had a lot of power in their hands.
They can't deal with her if they don't know her identity, and they can't do anything to her if they know it, but if they follow the clues and find out the Lin family... she can't bring this ultimate disaster to the Lin family.
It rained for three consecutive days, and what Ye Wanwan was worried about still happened.
The rain caused the river to swell and the bridge to be washed away, making it impossible to cross.
We couldn't afford to wait, so we had to take a detour. As luck would have it, the detour happened to be the fiefdom of King Sichuan.
You can't hide, so go ahead.
The detour also takes a whole day, but getting there was not as difficult as expected and the detour was very smooth.
Ye Wanwan looked at Zhao Quan in front of her and couldn't tell. It was pretty reliable, but... why was Lingque riding with him?
The two of them didn't speak much, and they only glanced at each other occasionally, but the atmosphere felt wrong.
"Aunt Lin?"
Compared to the shocked look on Ye Wanwan's face, Aunt Lin was much calmer: "Young women will not be admitted to the university."
No, this is not a question of whether to stay or not, but that Zhao Quan is Yangdi's man, and it has only been a few days, how come it has developed like this? How come she didn't notice any clues?
Ye Wanwan was shocked, but she didn't give in. She took a look first.
It's just that although this Lingque hasn't been with her for a long time, it's the person Wu Yu found for her. It's different from others. How long has it been... If she was cheated, how could she keep up with Wu Yu?
Explain?
On the eighth day of departure, after five consecutive days of heavy rain, it finally cleared up.
Ye Wanwan felt like she was going moldy and she could finally bask in the sun.
It was still the official way, but this time there was nothing wrong with it. Zhao Quan was guarding him with all his strength. If someone still got in front of Ye Wanwan like this, he would be too incompetent.
On the eleventh day, we arrived at Liyuan.
Looking at the two words on the city gate, Ye Wanwan suddenly felt a little uncontrollable. After two lifetimes, she finally came here.
Grandma...
I endured my excited heart, closed my eyes, and listened to the sound of the carriage wheels turning, as if it was crushing my heart, heavy.
The Lin family, the mother clan of Prime Minister Ye's wife, originally did not come from here. It was precisely because Zhao Yi ascended the throne that the Lin family was criticized, so they were demoted so far. It was no different from being exiled, but neither Prime Minister Ye nor the Queen Mother
Save the Lin family.
Perhaps to them, the Lin family's sacrifice was just a small sacrifice and was not enough for them to bargain with Zhao Yi.
Liyuan is not far from the border town. You can reach the border town after passing three checkpoints. Liyuan is a big city, but it is not particularly prosperous. The people's clothes are often patched, and beggars can be seen lying on the roadside. This is the situation when you walk into the city.
Only slightly better.
This place is close to the border. There are not only people from Daliang, but also some people who look like they are from the Kingdom of Jin. Now that the Kingdom of Jin and Daliang are at war, this place may not be so stable.
Cousin-in-law Wu Yu's natal family is a general who is stationed at the border. I wonder if they will follow her to the battlefield this time.
Along the way, she didn't think about anything. She just wanted to reach Liyuan. However, as it was so close, she started to think wildly.
Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a relatively tall mansion. The word "Lin Mansion" was clearly written on the plaque at the front door.
