After listening to Baitao's words, Chu Miaoer became more sure of his suspicion.
"Princess, although no one in the house likes this Miss Qin, no one cares about her even if she is no longer afraid, but..." Baitao said hesitantly, "It's just that this servant is afraid of her..."
Chu Miaoer raised his eyes and looked at her, and asked funnyly: "Are you afraid that she will secretly follow the prince to Mobei?"
"Princess, how can you still laugh?" Baitao looked at her in disbelief, "She has already run away with the prince, how can you...why do you still look so happy? It's not like you don't know her thoughts, and so does the prince.
I don’t know when he will be able to return to the capital. He is in his prime of life. There is no telling what will happen when Miss Qin leaves! The servants are almost dying of anxiety!"
"Why are you so anxious? She's already gone, and she can't be chased back even if she wants to. Now what can I do if you tell me?" Chu Miao'er felt her throat was sore, and smiled lightly, "Don't you think of your family?"
Is the prince so unsure?"
When Baitao heard this, she curled her lips and looked a little discouraged: "I feel that Miss Qin will not give up until she achieves her goal. I am afraid that the prince is also unprepared and cannot move... Hey, now we can only see whether Tingfeng is reliable or not.
It’s so reliable…”
Two men and two horses, leading a line of 300 infantrymen, were walking through the snow.
"A sneeze——" Tingfeng rubbed his nose vigorously, the tip of his nose was itchy and he sneezed again, "A sneeze——"
Fu Yunqi glanced sideways at him and saw that his nose was red. He curled up his lips and said, "It's really strange to see you unwell in my lifetime."
"It's really weird... It was obviously the prince who was caught in the rain that day, but instead..." Tingfeng said, his nose itched, and he couldn't help but sneeze. He rubbed his nose and said helplessly,
"Why is it that my subordinate is suffering from the cold?"
On the other hand, looking at his prince's back straight and full of energy, Tingfeng really didn't understand what he was thinking. If he had known this, he would have followed the prince into the palace to see Baitao. After all, he and the prince both knew that this would happen.
I went to Mobei and didn't know when I would return, so I couldn't say goodbye to Baitao properly.
A rare snowstorm meant that they didn't see a single farmer along the way. The closer they got to Mobei, the thicker the snow on the ground became, and now it covered the infantry's ankles. After driving day and night for several days,
There was a look of fatigue on the faces of the infantrymen.
Fu Yunqi frowned at the endless snow, sighed softly and said to Tingfeng: "It's too much for the horses to drive all night, so let them rest in the woods ahead before setting off."
If we continue walking like this, I'm afraid half of the people will fall before they reach Mobei.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Tingfeng turned around with his horse, cleared his throat and said loudly, "Everyone listen to the order and rest where you are!"
Fu Yunqi also jumped off the horse, stepped on the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and walked deep into the woods without saying a word. Seeing this, Tingfeng quickly handed the horse to an infantryman and asked him to lead the horse to find grass.
He also quickly followed.
"Your Majesty..." Tingfeng looked at the frozen river in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Everyone is exhausted after traveling for so long. You should also take a rest. There are only 300 heads. If there is a fight,
It’s not enough to be a wall of flesh!”
The cold wind was blowing, and the snow was flying all over the sky, making a rustling sound in the forest.
"Tingfeng, you said..." Fu Yunqi looked away from him and looked at the boundless snowy field standing with his hands behind his back. He couldn't help but sigh, "I used to wish I could leave that golden cage as soon as possible and return to Mobei. Why now?"
Do you feel empty after leaving?"
After hearing this, Tingfeng was obviously stunned on the spot, and then he covered his mouth and laughed.
"Does this need to be said, my lord? In the past, you had no worries, and it was up to you to decide when to leave and when to return. Now that you have the princess to worry about, you are naturally not so relaxed!"
Seeing that he still wanted to make fun of himself, Fu Yunqi asked deliberately: "Don't you miss Baitao?"
"..." Tingfeng scratched his head in embarrassment, "Of course... I was thinking about it..."
At present, the situation in the court is gradually becoming clearer. The more Prince Fu Lilian wins the hearts of the people, the less likely Fu Deyou will keep him in Kyoto. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before he is transferred out of Kyoto. This was something he had already envisaged when he decided to help Fu Lilian.
It's just that Chu Miao'er being trapped in the palace was completely unexpected.
Although Al Yun Duo cherished his sister, he would never be stupid enough to come to Mo Bei to cause trouble at this juncture. After all, Al Yun Duo hurt the dragon in the belly of a concubine in the harem, and the queen just locked her up to think about her mistakes and did not make any move.
What an extraordinary punishment.
If Dongjue wants to use this matter to put pressure on them, it is totally untenable.
After about an hour, Fu Yunqi ordered everyone to continue on their way. At this time, a commotion began among the infantry. Several people formed a circle and were shouting something.
Seeing this, Tingfeng and Fu Yunqi looked at each other, jumped off the horse, walked over quickly, and shouted with an unhappy expression: "What are you doing? The road will be blocked by heavy snow later, be careful to be trapped here and freeze to death, you guys
How about gathering in a circle to keep warm?”
When those people saw him coming, they quickly made way for him.
"Lord Tingfeng..." A soldier pointed at another soldier lying on the ground and said in a small voice, "He seems to have a fever? His forehead is so hot that he can't even wake him up..."
"Yes, when we stopped just now, I asked him to drink some water but he didn't even drink it..."
"He lay down without eating anything. I thought he was too sleepy so I didn't call him..."
The few soldiers surrounding him started talking one after another, with worried expressions on their faces.
"Why do you want to be a soldier if you are so weak? Don't die on the road before we reach Mobei." Although he said it harshly, he was a specially sent person from the imperial court after all. Tingfeng still walked to the man and said impatiently,
"Hel him up and let me take a look."
He slowly squatted down and put his hand on the man's forehead. It was true that he had a fever, and it was not light. He was just slightly closer... Why did this face look so white and tender? It seemed familiar?
I don't know what he thought of, but I saw his eyes opening wider and wider, his face suddenly changed, he took his hand back as if he was electrocuted, stood up and ran outside.
"Ting...Lord Tingfeng?!" Those people looked at him with dumbfounded eyes and hurried away, shouting in a panic at the top of their voices, "Are we ignoring him? Sir!"
Tingfeng's head was buzzing now, so he had no time to pay attention to him.
"Let's go." Fu Yunqi was far away and didn't know what was going on. When he saw him running over, he reined in the horse's rope and prepared to mount.
"My lord, my lord, stay here!" Tingfeng called out anxiously, frowned and walked quickly to his side, lowering his voice and saying, "The soldier who fainted just now is... Miss Qin!"
Obviously, Fu Yunqi didn't expect that things happened so suddenly. He looked at him in shock and didn't know how to react. It took him a long time before he started to speak: "Before setting off, someone sneaked in in such a grand manner. You didn't even know?!" Fu Yunqi stared at him intently.
She looked at him with her lips tightly pursed, looking very unhappy.
"This..." Tingfeng was also afraid of being wrongly accused, so he immediately clarified, "Before departure, the subordinates were indeed counted one by one, but they really don't know how she got in... Your Majesty, what do you think we should do now?
?Miss Qin has a severe fever. What if she dies if she is left here? How can I tell the Queen Mother? But my subordinates are worried that if she is handed over to those people to take care of her, what will happen if her identity as a woman is discovered?
Cause more trouble?"
Why can't this Miss Qin stay in the mansion honestly? After analysis, it turns out that she is a hot potato and cannot be dealt with appropriately. Tingfeng feels very irritable for no reason.
"Your worries are not unreasonable. After all, she is a person rewarded by her mother. She cannot die outside. If she stays among the soldiers and someone discovers her identity, I am afraid it will shake the morale of the army, so..." Fu Yunqi turned around.
Seeing Tingfeng listening carefully, he said calmly, "Take her to your horse, just to show them how considerate you are of your subordinates."
"Me and her, riding on the same horse together?!" Tingfeng pointed at himself and waved his hand to refuse without thinking, "No, if Baitao finds out, she will kill me. Your Majesty, what are you doing?
I'm pushing into the fire pit."
Just thinking about Baitao's expression when he found out, Tingfeng couldn't help but feel chills running down his back. Besides, Miss Qin was a woman gifted by the Queen Mother to the prince, how could she ride on the same horse with his bodyguard!
Fu Yunqi ignored him, mounted his horse and looked at him coldly and said: "Now my king's order is not as effective as Baitao's words, right? Then let her lie here, life or death, and find any reason when she goes back.
Just stuff it with sugar."
'How can it be done? This person is not dead yet, so we left her here to fend for ourselves. When those soldiers saw it, why didn't they feel cold to us? 'Soldiers have different morale' is a big taboo!" Tingfeng kept talking.
He continued to mutter, "No matter what she says, it is a reward from the Queen Mother to you. You..."
"Don't even think about it." Fu Yunqi looked straight ahead, his tone so stiff that he didn't give in at all.
The whole army was ready to go, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier. If they didn't leave, they might really be trapped in the mountains. The two of them were in a stalemate, and even the horses began to get impatient, kicking their hooves and getting ready to move.
Tingfeng gritted his teeth, turned around and walked into the crowd again. Under everyone's gaze, he picked up Qin Luoge with one hand and put him on his horse.
"The fourth prince has an order. It is by no means necessary. We will never give up on anyone. Just follow the prince to Mobei with peace of mind!" Tingfeng rode slowly to Fu Yunqi's side and said full of resentment, "It's time to set off, prince.
"
Fu Yunqi nodded calmly, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth revealed his emotions at this time. Tingfeng looked at Qin Luoge lying motionless in front of him, and started to go crazy in his heart.
"Drive! -" The two horses walked through the snow. His actions just now undoubtedly made the soldiers more confident about their trip. Everyone regrouped and followed closely.
