Two hours later, the group finally arrived in the capital. The guard at the city gate saw Feng Lisheng sitting on a tall horse, and hurried forward to salute with his fists clasped.
Shen Mingjiao lifted the curtain and looked at the familiar capital. Even though he has been away for two or three months, nothing seems to have changed here.
Several city gate chiefs on one side saw Shen Mingjiao poking his head out, and they looked at each other, their eyes flickering.
At this time, a carriage with the logo of King Su's Mansion came quickly, and when she got closer, Shen Mingjiao realized that the person riding the horse was actually Eunuch Hua.
Eunuch Hua got off his horse and saw Shen Mingjiao. He was so excited that he almost burst into tears, and he was about to kneel down with a plop: "Okay... Wangfei will come back tomorrow... If you really have troubles, what will we do in Su Palace..."
Fortunately, Tie Zhu quickly helped him up,
Being so missed by others, Shen Mingjiao was also a little moved:
"Okay, Laohua, we don't like this in the Su Palace! Let's have something practical. I'm happy today. Later, you can go to Yipinju and book a dozen or so tables for the big guys to eat." happy."
Follow the guards of the palace who came over to listen. Immediately he booed happily.
It’s not that Zhentu stutters, they have all been on the battlefield and made meritorious service, and their monthly military salary is not low, and their palace has a specially hired Yipinju chef.
All they want is this sense of everyone working together. Seeing this, the city gate guard looked envious.
Although Concubine Su's current reputation is hard to describe in words, what low-level generals like them envy most are the guards of Su Wang's Mansion.
Shen Mingjiao felt a little bored, so she stepped off the carriage.
At this time, the curtain of the carriage behind Mr. Hua was lifted, and three girls dressed as maids came down.
Being in the lead was Haitang, she saw Shen Mingjiao who was standing there so lively, she rushed forward, hugged her, didn't say anything, just kept crying.
Shen Mingjiao patted the little girl's shoulder: "Okay, don't cry, your girl, didn't I come back alive?"
Hearing her intermittent sobs, Shen Mingjiao also had a sore nose. Haitang has been with her since she was seven years old. It was this girl who was always by her side during those days of loneliness and walking on thin ice in the Hou Mansion.
It's hard to imagine, if something happened to her, how would Haitang live?
Haitang finally recovered a bit, she sniffed a little embarrassedly, patted her chest vigorously and said:
"Miss, don't worry, I have been studying martial arts very hard during this time. Shi Jiu said that I have made great progress. When I become better, I will be able to protect the girl."
Hearing what she said, Shen Mingjiao noticed that this girl seemed to have lost a lot of weight, not only her, but Qiu Ju, who was standing on one side and watching her eagerly, also lost a lot of weight.
Especially Qiu Ju, with a pale face. When Shen Mingjiao went to Huguo Temple, she was the one who followed. These days, the guilt in her heart almost tortured her day and night.
She has quietly prepared the white silk. If something happens to the princess, she will go down to make amends to the princess.
Shen Mingjiao blinked vigorously a few times: "Okay, don't cry anymore, let's go, let's go back to the house and let the kitchen prepare delicious food for you."
At this time, a palace guard came quickly.
"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty, please enter the palace immediately."
Feng Lisheng didn't ask anything, and briefly explained to Shen Mingjiao, then rode his horse and followed the guard towards the palace.
Seeing the passing carriages looking this way from time to time, Eunuch Hua frowned, stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's getting late, princess, let's go back home!"
Shen Mingjiao suddenly wanted to eat Yu Ji's sauced beef. "Let's go to the west of the city first..."
Unexpectedly, Grandpa Hua's face changed when he heard the words, and he regained his composure after a while: "Oh, this kind of thing is not worth your trip."
"Shunzi, didn't you hear? The princess wants to eat sauced beef, why don't you hurry up and buy it!"
When the other people present heard her saying that she was going to the west of the city, their eyes flickered.
Not everyone has a city like Grandpa Hua, and the three of Haitang gritted their teeth in anger.
"Stop!"
Shen Mingjiao stopped the person slowly, and glanced at the crowd in front of him:
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Eunuch Hua glared at everyone secretly, with a smile still on his face:
"Princess, you think too much, what's the matter? The west side of the city is very chaotic, and you just had something like that. The brothers are just worried that you will encounter any danger..."
Seeing that they didn't say anything, Shen Mingjiao didn't talk nonsense, and directly got into the carriage when she arrived, and told the driver to go to the west of the city.
The coachman followed Feng Lisheng and his party all the way, and he didn't know what happened in the capital. Right now, the master ordered, so naturally he had to obey.
Seeing this, Eunuch Hua and his party had no choice but to follow.
Soon Shen Mingjiao knew what they were worrying about!
…
The west of the city is still noisy and crowded, the sauced beef that Shen Mingjiao said Yu Ji is on a street in the west of the city.
There is a tea shed next to it. This area is poor and chaotic, and most of the people who come and go are people of the same class.
To prevent accidents, Shen Mingjiao deliberately put on a veiled hat when she got out of the car. In fact, she didn't have to get down at all, but she just wanted to find out what Eunuch Hua and the others were hiding from her.
Yu Ji is a small shop not much bigger than a bed. Yun Shu went to the counter to buy beef in sauce.
Shen Mingjiao stood beside the carriage, listening to the tea shed guests next door bragging about coming and going.
It's just... as she listened, her expression became a little subtle.
"... Hey, have you heard? The man from the Yongchang Hou Mansion is coming back? I heard that the prince personally picked him up..."
"Oh! She still has the face to come back. An unclean woman should sink into the pond!"
The person who spoke was an ordinary-looking man dressed as a scribe.
Someone couldn't listen anymore and patted him on the shoulder:
"Brother, what you said is too serious! That is also a victim, she is a woman, it is quite pitiful to go through this kind of thing..."
The ordinary literati man snorted coldly, and said in a disdainful tone: "Poor, it was her own fault. If she hadn't been wandering around with her beauty, how could she have attracted the attention of the second prince of Beidi, and she was taken captive to Beidi for nearly two months.
Let me tell you, there is a relative in my family who is a soldier under King Su. He said that in order to survive, the woman took the initiative to climb into the bed of the second prince of Beidi and sent the military information of our Great Xia Kingdom. It was revealed to Beidi, you said, how pitiful is this kind of shameless and unrighteous woman! "
He was too involved in what he said, and everyone was unknowingly driven by his emotions:
"...Yeah! I heard that the former had a very bad reputation. On the wedding day, she verbally insulted her concubine who loved her dearly. They were all dyed red..."
Shen Mingjiao: "..." Even if you kill everyone here and drain the blood, the color of the soil cannot be changed for a long time! This is common sense, okay?
"Poor our wise and mighty His Royal Highness King Su, but being manipulated by such poisonous women..."
Everyone recalled Shen Mingjiao's usual bad reputation, and the more they talked, the more angry they became, as if they had witnessed how Shen Mingjiao hacked people to death with their own eyes.
Seeing this, the ordinary literati man hooked his lower lip in satisfaction:
"Fortunately, that woman's innocence has been lost now. Even an ordinary family would never want such a daughter-in-law again, let alone a Tian family."
After hearing this, everyone showed happy expressions, but the ordinary literati man sighed sadly: "I'm afraid that woman will rely on her beauty to rely on the prince..."
All of you present here are brave and ruthless men, their emotions have been mobilized to the extreme right now, their hatred for Shen Mingjiao is comparable to killing their father and enemy.
"...How can this work, this kind of woman should be immersed in a pig cage and cut to death. If she appears in front of me now, I will kill her to do justice for the sky..."
Shen Mingjiao: "..."
