Chapter 29, tears run, the capital is not Jiangnan
Two large carriages stopped in front of the Xin Kang Bo Mansion.
The guards on both sides stopped first. The curtain of the carriage in front opened, and a handsome young man came out. He had an outstanding appearance and a gentle expression. He knew at a glance that he was an extraordinary person.
Yu Xijiao narrowed her eyes and looked at the young man standing. Is this supporting Chu Zihan?
If what happened in the dream is what he left behind during his lifetime, and Mrs. Yu's insistence, the marriage between the two families has no different meanings. Coming here to congratulate them would be the icing on the cake, but now... I'm afraid that may not be the case...
Chu Zihan squeezed over from behind the crowd and bowed deeply to the visitor: "I have met His Highness Prince Duan."
This is the first prince of the current Holy Emperor, who was named Prince Duan. He is kind-hearted and tolerant towards others.
Duan Wang Feng Lanxiu gave him a hand with a smile on his face, raised his eyes and said with a smile: "I happened to be passing by and saw that there was a happy event in Xin Kangbo Mansion, so I came over to ask for a cup of wedding wine, okay?"
Chu Zihan stood up straight, took a deep breath, and showed a hint of bitterness on his face: "Your Highness, this matter... is no longer appropriate!"
"What... happened?" King Duan stopped laughing in surprise.
"The Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion is in trouble, Lanxuan County Lord, she...she...she has an accident!" Chu Zihan lowered his head and took a deep breath, unable to hide the sadness in his eyes, "Originally, this was how the marriage was settled.
Yes, it’s just the intention of Lanxuan County Lord and Zhengyuan Houfu, and they don’t want to end the good relationship between the two surnames.”
"This... is to send another daughter of the Yu family over to make a good relationship between the two families?" King Duan understood, and the smile on his face slowly faded, his brows furrowed, and then he confirmed, "This is a matter among the people.
This is indeed the case, I have heard it several times in the past that the two surnames must be related, and if we don’t want to break up, this is the best way.”
"That's... such a statement." Chu Zihan lowered his head sadly.
"It is indeed sad that something happened to Mr. Lanxuan, but since the elders of Zhengyuanhou Mansion and Mr. Lanxuan mean it this way, let's take care of the happy event first, and then go to Zhengyuanhou Mansion to worship!"
Duan Wangdao, with a warm complexion.
"I am a minister..." Chu Zihan said naa-na. Just as he was about to say a few more words about the current predicament, if he could give the king a few words, he would definitely make people believe in him more. Suddenly he saw a guard coming from the carriage behind and said to him.
After King Duan saluted, he interrupted Chu Zihan unceremoniously: "Your Highness, our Crown Prince asked you when you can leave."
Prince Duan pursed his lips, but the smile on his face remained: "Let Brother Yu wait for a moment, we will leave immediately."
"Your Highness, please hurry up. Our prince... is really unwell." The guard saluted Prince Duan again and did not step down immediately. This was to urge him to get up now.
Prince Duan's face darkened slightly, but he still said gently: "Okay, let's go now."
The guard then turned and left.
"I originally wanted to have a glass of wedding wine, but now it seems I can't. It's sad to have such a happy event, but we still have to make the deceased feel at ease."
As he spoke, King Duan reached out and patted Chu Zihan's shoulder gently as a sign of encouragement, then turned and left.
When he got on the carriage again, the carriage behind him had already started, and the carriage body moved forward, even surpassing the frame of King Duan's carriage, regardless of King Duan's carriage.
At this time, everyone discovered that this carriage was completely different from ordinary carriages. Even though King Duan's carriage was already very wide, the body of this carriage was actually wider and more slender than King Duan's carriage.
The carriage was very large, and the windows were even bigger, taking up almost half of the carriage. The veil fell down, covering everything in the carriage, and only a figure could be seen faintly, lying sideways.
The carriage moved forward, the wind blew from behind, and the gauze suddenly fluttered. Those with a discerning eye could vaguely see a handsome young man leaning inside, with his eyes lowered as if sleeping, and a
The plain white brocade robe was embroidered with gold threads, it was elegant and luxurious. When I wanted to take a closer look, the gauze slowly fell down.
The carriage moved forward, passing Prince Duan's carriage, and then came Prince Duan Feng Lanxiu's carriage following behind.
Everyone who understood all this looked at each other, and it was quiet in front of Xin Kangbo's house.
Among the children of the aristocratic family, the prince is the most respected, and Prince Duan is the eldest prince of the emperor. Even the other two princes cannot be so flamboyant as to surpass Prince Duan's carriage. So who is this one...?
Thinking back to the words of the guards who came over just now, although they sounded normal, thinking about it carefully, they showed a bit of impatience. Who has the courage to come over and urge King Duan to leave.
Who is this?
Is this the way to grab King Duan? But King Duan said nothing, and the guards who followed King Duan didn't say anything, as if everything was commonplace...
Yu Xijiao was also watching, and then thoughtfully put down the hand that lifted the corner of the curtain.
"Girl, just... was it really Prince Duan?" Qingyue asked in surprise.
"Yes!" Yu Xijiao nodded slightly.
"Then...who is that behind? Is there anyone in the capital who is more powerful than Prince Duan?" Qingyue reached out and pointed. She had also seen the scene just now, and she could understand it.
"I don't know." Yu Xijiao shook her head, thoughtfully. Before she was locked up, she would still know some things about the capital.
At that time, there was no such person at all.
"Girl, I feel like... I just looked at our place." Qingyue blinked and said suddenly.
"Look at us?" Yu Xijiao raised her long eyelashes. She was also surprised by this. In her past life, she definitely did not have such a young master from an aristocratic family. If she had seen such a talented man, she would definitely not forget him.
"My slave... I think it is. I looked out through the curtain of the carriage. The gauze fell down there, and it seemed that I was glancing at us... I thought it was our carriage that I was looking at." Qingyue was actually not sure.
, but that's what she was thinking at the time. When her eyes met those eyes, even though she couldn't see clearly from a distance, she still flinched.
He hurriedly avoided his eyes. When he felt less nervous, he raised his eyes and looked over. The carriage had already left.
"Maybe it's because there are a lot of people watching us. The Xinkangbo Mansion is too lively today." Yu Xijiao raised the corners of her lips, her smile not reaching her eyes.
These words reminded Qingyue, "Girl, have the three girls from the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion been in collusion with Prince Xin Kangbo for a long time? They haven't even gotten married yet, but they actually have a child. It's really shameless."
Qingyue is a smart maid, following Yu Xijiao, she has seen more than others. She just came from the south of the Yangtze River, and she was not fooled by Chu Zihan's reputation. She felt like a stranger to Chu Zihan.
It doesn't matter whether it's good or not, whether it's righteous or not.
What I saw was the most intuitive and realistic scene.
"Do you think it's the two of them?" Yu Xijiao raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Yes! I just think that the two of them were so anxious to get married if they weren't. When the sedan chair had an accident just now, Crown Prince Xin Kangbo also saw that the bride inside was bleeding, but he didn't care and just took her away in a panic.
Let’s go, passers-by had already said this at that time, and it’s impossible that Prince Xin Kang Bo didn’t hear it.”
It was so close at that time, there were many passers-by, and there were many people talking. From Qingyue's perspective, the incident happened suddenly. Prince Xin Kangbo felt very guilty at the time, so he turned around and left without even investigating the cause of the accident. It can be seen that it was
Really guilty.
"If...the two of them are real, then Mr. Lanxuan County..." Yu Xijiao lowered her head, looked at the handkerchief in her hand, slowly twisted it around, tied a knot, and then strangled it, a
Dead knot!
Qingyue unconsciously followed her gestures and looked over. When she saw her tying a tight knot, she suddenly thought: "Girl... Lanxuan County Lord... she... she..."
Qingyue's voice was trembling and she couldn't continue. Her eyes suddenly widened and she looked at Yu Xijiao almost in horror.
She followed Yu Xijiao to many places, except for the scene when Yu Xijiao was reborn and she hid in the lake. She followed Yu Xijiao almost all the time.
When Yu Xijiao went to that small courtyard, Qingyue did not follow her, but she vaguely knew that the people in the small courtyard seemed to be related to Lord Lanxuan of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion.
She is a loyal maid, and she also has a good impression of Mr. Lanxuan, whom her master has always talked about, and she sympathizes with the misfortune of Mr. Lanxuan.
Yu Xijiao shook her hand: "No need to say it, don't say it."
Raising her hand, she slowly untied the knot in her hand. Yu Xijiao untied it very slowly, seemingly very cautiously. Looking from Qingyue's point of view, her soft lips were pursed tightly, even for just a moment.
She did every small thing extremely seriously, running her slender fingers across the veil in front of her.
Watching Yu Xijiao untie the veil, Qingyue breathed softly subconsciously, as if her own breathing would disturb her own girl. Then she saw the veil that had been untied and smoothed between Yu Xijiao's fingers,
Inexplicably, I felt peaceful in my heart, and the shock and fear I had felt all of a sudden seemed to be miraculously healed by the act of untying the veil.
Biting her lip: "Girl..."
"Qingyue, are you afraid?" Yu Xijiao said without raising her head.
Are you afraid? In her previous actions, she had always obeyed the girl's wishes, but when she thought about it, how could she not be afraid? This was going to cause a big problem. Even if her girl was protected by An and the eldest princess, she might not be fine.
But now, she actually calmed down: "As long as the girl is here, I am not afraid!"
"Mr. Lanxuan County is my benefactor. I will not let my benefactor die in vain." Yu Xijiao raised her head and looked at Qingyue. This maid was her personal person. Everything she did, Qingyue
Everyone will know.
Even if she could hide it from her grandmother, she couldn't hide it from Qingyue. Moreover, she would let Qingyue do some things. She never doubted this girl's loyalty. She just wanted Qingyue to see clearly what she was going to do.
Lest Qingyue miss her own affairs.
"Girl, you want... to help Mr. Lanxuan County..." Qingyue's voice trembled unconsciously. Although she had made such a guess, this was the first time she heard her girl say it so clearly.
Girl, it seems like things are really different from when you were in Jiangnan?
"Do you think... I'm different?" Seeing her like this, Yu Xijiao smiled brightly, diluting the rigor and dullness in the carriage. Then her smile was slightly bitter, "Going to Beijing... is not what I thought before. Grandma reminded me before.
He passed me, but I didn't listen. Now that I think about it...if I continue to do what I did before, I'm afraid I won't even know how I died."
"The capital is not Jiangnan!" Yu Xijiao said the last sentence slowly and heavily.
"Girl..." Qingyue's tears were about to fall.
Recalling the moment when the girl had an accident this morning, she was anxious and panicked. When she saw the girl standing in the lake covered in water, she was so frightened that she almost lost her mind.
If the girl hadn't been smart at that time, I'm afraid she would have been ruined by now, and even Princess An and the eldest princess couldn't protect her.
Thinking again about what the girl said about the capital city is not Jiangnan, Qingyue almost burst into tears...
