After the team left the imperial city, the envoys and maids from Dongyou didn't see Grandma Yan and Grandma Li. They couldn't help but glance at Yun Zishu's carriage, and then at the General Wang who was sitting on the horse.
"Aunt Yan and Aunt Li did something they shouldn't have done the day before yesterday, and they have been dealt with by this king." Huangfu Liyuan's voice was cold, and his eyes were full of military majesty, "This journey will be very hard, for the delicate people
It is especially difficult for young women, but what needs to be overcome must be overcome. The girls should take good care of their masters. If anyone delays the trip, I will not spare him!"
After the words with a chilling air fell out, several noble ladies and their accompanying maids all shuddered, lowered their heads, and turned pale unconsciously.
"Your Highness, don't worry." Leng Yue whispered, "You have a hard day today, and when it gets dark and you rest, the Commander-in-Chief has prepared a surprise for you."
surprise?
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows: "What surprise?"
"My subordinates don't know." Leng Yue smiled, "The commander only wants to reassure His Highness."
Yun Zishu didn't believe that she didn't know, after all, the word "surprise" didn't seem to be Sicang's style, but she nodded quickly, "I just want to experience what it feels like to sleep in the wilderness. Should I rest in a posthouse or set up camp at night?
?”
Leng Yue shook her head: "It depends on Dongyou's intention."
"We can't make the decision ourselves?"
Leng Yue curled her lips: "The envoy from Dongyou said that their emperor and queen have asked someone to calculate the auspicious day for getting married. This means that we must arrive at Dongyou before the auspicious day. How many miles should we travel every day? Dongyou General Wang said
It’s up to you.”
If there happens to be an inn where you can stay when you stop to rest, that would be good. If not, you can only set up camp, and the princess and the princesses rest on the carriage for a night.
Yun Zishu nodded silently.
"But there is no need to worry, Your Highness." Leng Yue quickly comforted, "The Commander-in-Chief has already made preparations for Your Highness."
Yun Zishu was not afraid of hard work, she was just suddenly curious about what Sicang had prepared.
The team walked all the way and stopped for lunch at noon, allowing the women to wash up and take care of their physiological needs. When Yun Zishu got off the carriage, she saw Sicang.
Sicang, who was dressed in black robes, still looked so cold and indifferent, with a tall body and powerful momentum. He had been silently riding behind her carriage.
Yun Zishu pursed her lips and smiled, then quickly looked away, and took two sips of the water Leng Yue handed her as if nothing had happened.
After having lunch, we soon started on our way again.
When night fell, they arrived at a post house, and officials and attendants came out to greet them. They met King Jing and the princess and prepared a sumptuous meal for them.
The place where they are staying now is the auxiliary capital, which is adjacent to the imperial city. It is not inferior to the prosperous imperial city, and the conditions of the post house are naturally good.
Yun Zishu and several princesses were arranged into the inner courtyard. Huangfu Liyuan, King Jing and Fengci lived in the front courtyard. The maids followed their respective masters, and the guards took turns to rest and be on duty.
After dinner in the evening, King Jing took the initiative to chat with Huangfu Liyuan: "I heard that General Wang is the only king with a different surname in Dongyou. He is very capable and has made great military achievements."
Huangfu Liyuan said: "I don't dare to take it seriously."
"I wonder what kind of temperament His Highness Crown Prince Dongyou is? He named the princess to marry him, but what's the reason?"
Huangfu Liyuan frowned slightly: "The legitimate princess has a noble status. His Royal Highness naturally wants to marry the legitimate princess. If Prince Jing marries a wife, does he want a legitimate daughter or a concubine?"
King Jing was speechless by his words.
Although what he said was reasonable, King Jing still found Prince Dongyou's behavior incomprehensible.
They were sitting here chatting. In the princess's residence in the inner courtyard, Leng Yue and Leng Shuang were waiting for Yun Zishu to take a bath: "The journey is not as good as the princess's mansion. The conditions are a little worse, so your highness has been wronged."
Yun Zishu smiled: "Why are you aggrieved? Although the conditions in the imperial city are good, your behavior is restricted everywhere. Now that you have finally left that place of right and wrong, I can't even be happy."
Leng Yue laughed and said: "There are restrictions on your behavior everywhere, and His Highness is not restricted much. He still goes his own way."
Yun Zishu glanced at her sideways: "You are becoming more and more courageous, and you laugh at me at every turn. Be careful one day I ask Sicang to sell you to Mrs. Ya."
Leng Yue pursed her lips and smiled: "Mr. Ya is no match for this subordinate."
Yun Zishu stood up from the bathtub. The maid brought a clean towel to wipe her clothes. After waiting for her to put on her underwear, Leng Yue waved her hand: "You all get off."
The maids looked at Yun Zishu, who nodded: "Go out and wait."
"yes."
Leng Yue turned around and brought out a set of blue robes: "Your Highness, wear this."
Yun Zishu stared at the robe thoughtfully for a while. When she met Leng Yue's sly eyes, she smiled faintly and put on her clothes cooperatively.
After a while, someone knocked on the window. Leng Shuang walked over and opened the window. Sicang stood outside the window: "Have you changed it?"
"yes."
Sicang walked in from outside the door and looked at Yun Zishu, who was wearing a green robe, with gentle eyes: "In my humble position, I will take your Highness to leave first, not with them."
Yun Zishu was surprised, was this the surprise Leng Yue was talking about?
"Shall we go first?" Yun Zishu frowned, "Is that okay?"
The wedding team is welcoming Princess Dayong, but the princess is not in the wedding team. Isn't it easy for people to find out?
"It's very hard to travel by boat and carriage. I'm humble enough to lead His Highness to go first. We can go faster on horseback. After a day's journey, we can stop and rest for a day to wait for them." Sicang said, "It's faster to ride on horseback than in a carriage, and it won't be so hard."
Yun Zishu said: "Won't you be discovered?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, your humble position has been arranged." Sicang turned around and said, "Lian Yue."
Lianyue, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, walked in from outside, wearing a red robe. If you didn't look at her face, at first glance, she looked similar to Yun Zishu.
"Your Highness." Lianyue saluted, with a sweet smile on her pretty face and a respectful attitude, "Long time no see."
Yun Zishu was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Sicang: "She will take my place all the way?"
Sicang nodded: "Huangfu Liyuan already knows about this, and he will cooperate to cover it."
After hearing this, Yun Zishu understood clearly, OK, the arrangements were indeed thorough.
Since Huangfu Liyuan knew about this, there was nothing to worry about. Yun Zishu looked at Lianyue and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, my subordinate." Lianyue raised her eyebrows and smiled, "My subordinates can handle such things easily, so Your Highness doesn't have to worry."
Leng Yue said: "My subordinates will also cooperate with Sister Lianyue."
Yun Zishu hummed. It seemed that she and Sicang were the only ones to take the first step.
Sicang pushed open the back window and jumped out. He turned around and was about to raise his hand to take Yun Zishu, but saw Yun Zishu, who was wearing a green robe, leaping out with the same movement.
window.
The two of them took advantage of the cover of darkness to quickly find a loophole in the defense and quickly left the post house.
A horse was waiting in the narrow alley in the backyard. Si Cang held Yun Zishu on the horse, held the reins in his hand, and flicked the black horse away with the two of them, disappearing into the night.
