General Zhu Xiangyu was the newly promoted confidant of Emperor Jingyuan. After Emperor Jingyuan saw through Xia Luoluo's attempt to kill her father and seize the throne, he uprooted the courtiers who secretly supported her and brought about a major change in the Qi court.
Of course, there are many supporters of the eldest prince Xia Yan among this group of newly appointed ministers. Otherwise, how could Emperor Jingyuan's whereabouts be leaked and almost be killed by a killer?
Shen Yu, whose identity as princess has not yet been revealed, pretends to be imperial guards with Ji Xun, Zhang Neng and others, accompanying the royal chariot.
Manager Yang resumed his status as a chamberlain and served Ji Feng willingly. Along the way, when he saw some young leaves that rabbits loved to eat, he happily ran to pick them up and gave them to Ji Feng to feed his "baby".
Ji Feng's rabbit "Baobao" gave birth to a litter of babies before. Unfortunately, he was traveling every day and couldn't take care of them, so he gave them away halfway.
Ji Feng was worried about it and thought about feeding the baby rabbits more food every day so that they could have another litter sooner.
It rains a lot in the south. It rains almost every day. So I have to wear a raincoat and a bamboo hat and walk in the rain.
After a heavy rain that day, the large group of people suddenly stopped.
General Zhu Xiangyu, who was ordered to escort Emperor Jingyuan and Prince Afeng back to the capital, immediately went on alert and all the escorts drew their swords.
There are high mountains on both sides here, the road is narrow and the terrain is dangerous, so there is a risk of being ambushed.
Shen Yuyuan, Ji Xun and others also drew their swords and carefully protected the chariots of Emperor Jingyuan and Ji Feng.
The atmosphere was tense when a guard came over on horseback and said to General Zhu from a distance, "Tell the general that a large area of landslide in front is blocking the way."
When General Zhu heard this, he immediately felt relieved. He inserted his sword into the scabbard, said something to Emperor Jing Yuan in the chariot, and went to check.
Continuous heavy rains have caused landslides and blocked roads.
Seeing this, General Zhu dismounted his horse and climbed up the landslide by climbing on the rocks.
At first glance, a large section of the road was blocked by rocks. Even horses, let alone carriages, could not pass.
When I was in trouble, I saw a man coming across the pile of rocks with difficulty.
"Who is it?" General Zhu shouted sharply and drew his sword, "Stop right here."
However, the man seemed not to have heard it and showed a sign in his hand, "My master has important business to pass this way. You look like you are from the nearby military camp? Please send more soldiers to clear this road." .'
The man said this and came to General Zhu. General Zhu was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat. It was hard to tell that he was a general. The man regarded him as an ordinary soldier.
General Zhu glanced at the man, took the token and looked at it. It was a token from the palace. He didn't know who it was, but it was definitely not the emperor or the prince.
Then he smiled and said, "Sorry, I have important things to do and it's really hard for me to follow my orders."
There is such a long blockage, and it will take six or seven days to clear it. It would be faster to take a detour.
Seeing that General Zhu was about to leave, the man stopped him and said, "If you refuse to clear this road, then sell your horses to us and we will pay a high price."
The landslide here is difficult for horses to climb over, but people can climb over it with some effort.
But if people can't pass by, wouldn't it mean that there are no horses to ride on? How can people in the wilderness do without horses? They are still in a hurry to move on.
But General Zhu Da still refused, "Sorry, I won't sell it no matter how high the price is."
"You~~, do you know who my master is? How dare you refuse?" He said very masculinely.
"Who is it?" General Zhu stopped. He really wanted to know who dared to speak in such a loud tone. Could it be that the internal servants around the emperor were pretending to be powerful outside?
"It's a queen in the palace." The man looked back and replied after getting the master's approval.
"Which empress?" General Zhu asked. He wanted to know which empress was so bold as to dare to leave the palace privately.
"Concubine Yun," the man replied.
After thinking for a while, the man rolled his eyes and added, "Concubine Yun, with the Queen's permission, went to Luzhou to visit her sick father~~ If she was blocked here, she might not be able to return home to fulfill her filial piety. Wouldn't she let down the Queen? Good intentions?"
"Really? Then you guys wait here for a moment, I will go and report back." After General Zhu said this, he went to report the matter to the emperor.
The emperor was furious when he heard this.
"This Concubine Yun~~ is really bold. How could she, an orphan, have a sick father? Humph." Emperor Jingyuan looked extremely ugly.
Yunfei Wei Muyan was a beauty sent to the palace by Shen Chenxiang three years ago, and was named Yunfei by Emperor Jingyuan.
Emperor Jingyuan never liked to enter the harem, so after the fall of Prime Minister Shen Chen, he did not anger any concubine in the harem. Unexpectedly, Concubine Yun was so bold and dared to lie and leave the palace at will!
Thinking of this, Emperor Jingyuan threw the token in his hand to General Zhu, "Concubine Yun dares to leave the palace without permission. Bring her back to me. I will interrogate her carefully~~"
The assassination by a killer in Qi Beicheng this time reminded Emperor Jingyuan that it was time to reorganize his harem. Who knows who those with ulterior motives had packed into his harem?
"Yes, Your Majesty." General Zhu took the token and led a dozen guards over the rocks and mud to the other end of the avenue. He flashed the token to Wei Muyan and said, "Concubine Yun left the palace without permission, Your Majesty." I am furious and will force you to return to the palace immediately."
Wei Muyan's expression suddenly changed.
It wasn't that she didn't know that the emperor was heading to the capital, but she really didn't expect to meet him here by such a coincidence.
Originally, as soon as she passed here, she would have to take a diversion to the southwest. The chance of meeting the emperor was very slim, and it was beyond imagination!
What else can I do now? I can only go back to Beijing honestly.
"Mother, what should I do?" Seeing that something was wrong, the killer leader named Lao Mao found an opportunity to quarrel with Wei Muyan, "If you go back, what will happen to the master's poison?"
Wei Muyan thought for a while and whispered to the old cat.
"I definitely can't go, so you can only go."
"That kind of flower is called the ghost flower. It blooms deep in the dark and humid swamps. It has no leaves. The flowers are pale and strange. They are like ghosts floating in the air, exuding a strange fragrance.'
"There will be all kinds of ferocious beasts guarding the flowers. You must be careful.'
After speaking, he handed the old cat a jade box that was as clear as an ice sculpture, "This jade box is made of Tianshan ice jade. After collecting the ghost flowers, the ghost flowers will be placed in this jade box. They can be kept fresh for several months."
"Okay." The old cat nodded, put away the Tianshan Ice Jade Box, and walked forward for a while. Wei Muyan found an excuse to take the ten people who had accompanied her to the swamp to look for the 'Ghost Flower'. The killer sends him away.
On the other side, the emperor's motorcade retreated a certain distance and then took a detour to the southeast to return to Beijing.
Half a month later, Emperor Jingyuan and Prince Xia Hanfeng returned to the capital safely under the escort of General Zhu.
When the people of Daqi heard that their emperor had entered the city gate, the streets were empty of onlookers.
It was Shen Yuyuan's first time in the capital city of Daqi, and he looked around with curious eyes.
The buildings are similar to those of the Zhou Dynasty, but the difference is in the folk customs.
The folk culture of Da Qi seems to be more open than that of Da Zhou. There are many women setting up stalls and doing business on the streets. When passing the pork stall, all the people selling pork are women. This is simply impossible in Da Zhou. .
Then there is the dressing. The skirts of the women here in Daqi are all above the ankles, revealing brightly embroidered shoes. They are very simple and convenient, and of course, cooler.
Shen Yujian was watching with great interest, when suddenly he glanced around and found a woman in the alley nearby holding a dying little girl in her arms, crying inconsolably.
"Axun, there seems to be a patient there, I'll go over and have a look." The doctor's parents were worried. Shen Yu couldn't pretend not to see him, so he got off his horse.
"I'll go with you." Ji Xun also saw it, handed the horse to Zhang Neng, and entered the alley with Shen Yuxian.
