Thousands of miles away from the capital, there are rolling mountains.
Below these mountain trails, a fast horse is passing by rapidly. The face of the man on the horse is hidden under the bamboo hat, and only the exposed hands show a whiteness that is different from that of the Han people.
Just as the horse turned a gentle slope, there seemed to be a sound of piercing through the air in the distance, and then there was only a "poof" sound, and the arrow stably inserted into the back of the man on the horse, and was driven by inertia to fall off the horse.
Not long after, the blond girl in a bright suit lightly landed on a stone, looking indifferently at the man lying on the ground bleeding profusely,
Why didn't Andrew think of it? He clearly managed to escape the pursuit of Daxia's officers and soldiers by all means, and saw that he would be able to escape outside the pass in half a month, but he suddenly lost his life on this wild hillside.
He opened his eyes with difficulty, met those familiar blue eyes for a moment, and murmured with trembling lips:
"Your Majesty... No... You are not... You are Princess Wendy... You are not dead..."
Speaking of this, Andrew's voice seemed to tremble even more.
Fu Guang's hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened: "You really know..."
"You made Kathy's face!"
The man's cloudy eyes showed panic, but he would not admit it: "I don't know..."
After speaking, he tilted his head, completely out of breath. But his reaction said it all.
Fu Guang stood blankly for a while, then turned and left.
After Kuai Ma returned to the capital, he found Nie Gutang, the leader of the Red Lotus Sect.
"I heard that the leader has a secret method that can regenerate broken flesh?"
Nie Gutang glanced at her face covered with ugly scars, her tone could not detect emotion: "Did Lingling tell you?"
Fu Guang did not deny it: "I know that the leader has been tracking down a disciple of the Red Lotus Sect who was sentenced a few years ago. If the leader is willing to help, in exchange, within two years, he will send the person the leader is looking for back to Daxia."
Cui Lingling once said that a few years ago, the Red Lotus Sect had a branch master who was very good at poison. Later, for some reason, he killed many people and defected, and took away many orphaned books in the sect. One of the poisons that Fuguang suffered when he was in distress was from the other party.
Nie Gutang finally corrected his expression: "Even if there is no such thing, I will help because of the relationship between the girl and Princess Su. It's just that this method of skin and flesh regeneration is extremely painful, and you may lose your life if you are not careful. Are you sure you want to try it?"
Fuguang nodded calmly, she will always go back, since she has to go back, how can she show her face to others?
"Okay, but this is not a trivial matter, I have to ask His Royal Highness King Su first."
"Yes, but please don't tell Miss Cui for the time being, the leader. Sister Gillian is pregnant now, so you shouldn't worry too much about it."
…
Speaking of going back to Shen Mingjiao, seeing that it was getting late, Shen Mingjiao was planning to go back.
While passing by a pastry shop, I met Mr. Chen, Minister of Dali Temple, who was out for work.
Master Chen stepped forward to greet him, Shen Mingjiao casually exchanged a few words: "Your Excellency, do you have a case to deal with?"
Master Cheng sighed sadly: "Yes! Recently, there was a serial murder case in the south of the Yangtze River. The number of victims has reached as many as a hundred. Due to the seriousness of the case, it was handed over to our Dali Temple."
"Has the real culprit been caught?"
"Caught it, but several experienced case handlers in the government office felt that something was wrong, but the man was very stubborn, insisting that he was the murderer, no matter how hard he asked, it was useless."
Speaking of this, his eyes flashed, and he said cautiously: "I wonder if it is convenient for the princess to share the worries of the government?"
Shen Mingjiao finally understood, and glanced at him with a half-smile: "After going around such a big circle, Master Chen finally said this sentence?"
Master Chen wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead: "Your officer, there is nothing you can do..."
"Okay, for Master Chen's hard work, let's go!"
Seeing that the concubine is about to follow Mrs. Chen, Erya behind her is a little anxious, and said in a low voice
"Princess, are you still pregnant? It's not good to go to that kind of place..."
Nowadays, there are many taboos during pregnancy, and places like Dali Temple where prisoners are held generally represent bad luck.
"It's okay. There are not only criminals there, but also a place where justice is done for the people. What's wrong with going there?"
Master Chen was quite touched, and quickly explained: "Young lady, don't worry, we brought the prisoner to the teahouse for the convenience of the princess."
Shen Mingjiao: "I'm pretty well prepared, I'm sure I won't refuse, right?"
Although he said so, he still got into the sedan chair and followed Lord Chen to a nearby teahouse.
This trip went very smoothly. The murderer was the son of the suspect. The father couldn't bear to see his son suffer the death penalty, so he forged evidence to cover the crime. I can only say that I feel sorry for the parents of the world!
Master Chen personally sent the person out of the teahouse, after careful consideration, he hesitated and said: "If this happens again next time, can I still ask the princess for help?"
He was just tentatively mentioning it, but he didn't want the princess to simply agree:
"Okay! But next time you don't have to be so troublesome, just go directly to Dali Temple
But let me state in advance that I am usually very busy, and it is impossible to pick up all the prisoners. "
Master Chen understood what she meant, and rarely nodded happily:
"That's natural, unless the case is serious and the government can't try the prisoner, then work on the princess."
Bid farewell to Mrs. Chen, she went back to the palace, just crouched on the couch to draw the design for a while, when the door of the small study was suddenly pushed open,
Seeing someone coming, she angrily put down her pen: "Scare me!
Didn't you say you'll be back tonight? "
Feng Lisheng sat down beside her, pursed his lips and asked, "Did you meet Master Chen today?"
Shen Mingjiao was not surprised that he would know, she pushed the half-drawn drawing, picked up a piece of snack to eat, "He went looking for you?"
I think so, she is King Su's wife, how could Mr. Chen not report this kind of thing to Feng Lisheng in advance.
One arm was held by a warm and strong hand, Feng Lisheng looked at her fixedly:
"You don't have to force yourself to do something you don't like. Even if you have such abilities, there is no reason why you must do something?"
Shen Mingjiao couldn't help laughing, and casually tilted his shoulders, "Do you think I'm someone who can compromise?"
Peel half of an orange and feed it to his mouth, seeing how he frowned but forcefully swallowed it, it was quite interesting.
"Don't worry, I really didn't force it, I just think it's not a problem to stay in the mansion all day, eat, eat and sleep."
Although she is determined to be a vase of salted fish waiting to die, but after a long time, it seems quite boring.
As for the mess inside and outside the palace, she has taken over it for nearly ten years in her previous life, and she is already very familiar with it. As long as she follows the process, she doesn't need to pay much attention at all.
She doesn't have much ambition, and she doesn't want to prove anything, she just wants to enrich her life.
"Also, I will continue to study with Wen Heng. After a few years, I plan to try to treat some patients in this field." She joked with a smile: "Maybe I can become a generation of genius doctors after many years?"
Although she is somewhat cheating.
After hearing what she said, Feng Lisheng tightened his arms and hugged her tightly, and said in a gentle voice: "You can do whatever you want, it doesn't matter if you feel tired and give up."
The deep and clear voice lingered above their heads. Although the two had been together for many years, this sentence still made my heart throb. It was more joyful than "You don't need to do anything, I will support you".
When a husband and wife get along, they must not only have love, but also respect for each other. No matter whether the ability and status of the two are different, at least in the daily relationship, the two should be equal—although it seems difficult for many people to do this nowadays.
Shen Mingjiao couldn't help but raised her face and kissed the corner of Feng Li Sheng's lips.
The man above the head paused for a moment, then lowered his head, raised his hand and gently wrapped his arms around the back of her neck, deepening the kiss.
After a while, the two parted panting, the corners of their eyes were a little red.
Shen Mingjiao's body was especially weak, and she lazily leaned into his arms.
Feng Lisheng was suffocating in his chest, he picked up the cold tea on the table and took a deep sip. Seeing that Shen Mingjiao didn't intend to get up, he slowed down for a while, abandoning the charming thoughts in his mind. Pushing the person in his arms to sit down, he said solemnly:
Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows: "So?"
Feng Lisheng coughed lightly, held up the teacup to his lips to cover up his embarrassment: "If you really want to, you can... use other methods to help you..."
What!
Shen Mingjiao was so startled that she almost bit her tongue, almost blurting out what to do? Fortunately, I forcibly held back!
…
The next day, Feng Shuo was officially canonized as the heir apparent, needless to mention the lengthy and complicated rules of the royal family during this period.
At Su Wang's Mansion, Shen Mingjiao got up early in the morning to get busy, and asked the kitchen to cook a table of Feng Shuo's favorite meals. She wanted to do it herself, but her cooking skills are hard to describe.
Besides, Shen Mingjiao also invited Cui Lingling's family to make it more lively. After all, it was Feng Shuo's serious uncle's family. There was also Gu Danxue who had just returned to Beijing. And Shen Mingshu's family. The uncle's family,
Feng Shuo invited some good friends who usually play well.
Gu Danxue was the first to come here. Not long after she returned to Beijing, the Guojiu Mansion sent a matchmaker to propose a marriage. The date of her marriage to Xing Qi has been set.
So she was a little nervous recently, and wanted to talk to Shen Mingjiao.
It happened that her father had been very strict with her these days, and he was afraid that she would be punished again, so he would sneak out.
As soon as he got off the sedan chair, he saw a familiar figure standing lazily beside the stone lion at the gate of King Su's mansion.
The other party saw her and immediately stood up straight.
Gu Danxue speeded up her pace unconsciously, and asked curiously, "Why did you come so early? No, why didn't you go in when you came!"
Xing Qi stuffed the pine nuts peeled all the way into her hand. The answer was very straightforward: "Because I want to see you!"
His tone was full of resentment: "The divorce period is still half a year away, and I can't even go to you in the meantime!"
Nowadays, men and women cannot see each other in the first few months of marriage.
The main reason is that there are not many father-in-laws in the world who are pleasing to the son-in-law. Although before this, Gu Zhao admired Xing Qi quite a lot and wanted to recruit someone into the army, but after Xing Qi was hired, the old father only felt that he was not pleasing to the eye? He insisted on delaying the wedding until the end of the year,
In his words, what is too easy to get is often not cherished.
Gu Danxue defended in a low voice: "You asked someone to give me a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cake the day before yesterday."
The two walked forward while talking.
"Don't mention it, I just bumped into Uncle Gu who came back that day, Uncle Gu looked at me like I robbed his treasure,
By the way, is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake delicious? "
Gu Danxue held the handful of pine nuts, which were still warm from the man's fingertips. She picked up one and put it in her mouth, chewing carefully. Wen Yan shook his head lightly:
"It's not tasty, it's too sweet. I like to eat with emphasis on taste."
Xing Qi smiled lightly, "Okay, then I'll bring you the crispy duck from the west of the city next time."
Sometimes the encounters in life are so wonderful. Gu Danxue, who was cowardly and inferior a year ago, has now learned to simply refuse the food she doesn't like.
And Xing Qi, who didn't have much nostalgia for this world, is now an ordinary young man who tries every means to please his sweetheart.
It was not even half of the morning, and all the people who were supposed to come came,
Even Ming, who has always been erratic, came, and brought his family along.
Shen Mingjiao pointed to the slender man standing beside her, raised her eyebrows and asked:
"The show is not bad! If I remember correctly, you said that you followed Shui Wuhen for two months, and you got yourself covered in bruises. Are you acting as a couple together?"
Ming, who was a little uncomfortable hearing this, hurriedly shook his head: "No...it's all a misunderstanding, I didn't know he was Shui Wuhen before this!"
Shui Wuhen greeted everyone politely, and carefully explained the cause and effect.
Cui Lingling was rather interested in the rumored number one thief in the world, and the two even made an appointment to learn martial arts at another day.
The male guests were entertained by Feng Lisheng, while the female guests were greeted by Shen Mingjiao to play leaf cards.
As for Nuo Bao, he followed behind the group of friends brought by Feng Shuo, all of them were gangsters, the beautiful and lovely Nuo Bao seemed to be a group favorite.
Cui Lingling envied: "It's so nice to have a girl! She's soft and soft, much cuter than a brat."
Shen Mingjiao teased her: "Then you and Qin Yannu try hard to have another one!"
Cui Lingling shook her head resolutely: "No, a Fatty is enough to worry me. Qin Yan and I have made a plan. When Fatty turns three years old, we will return to the Jianghu together."
Shen Mingjiao is quite envious, the story in the story book walks the world with a sword! Exciting just thinking about it! But she doesn't know martial arts, and riding a horse is tiring.
Mrs. Lu Guogong is obviously also very supportive of her son and daughter-in-law entering the rivers and lakes:
"You can go out without worry! How about Fatty with me and his grandfather? When I was young, I often fantasized about being a chivalrous woman, but unfortunately my family conditions did not allow it."
Cui Lingling really felt that she had found a peerless mother-in-law.
When she was elated and dreaming of returning to the comfortable life in the rivers and lakes, the kitchen came to inform that dinner was ready,
As soon as the steamed sea bass was served, Cui Lingling smelled it and vomited.
Gu Danxue who was sitting on the side hurriedly took out a handkerchief with one hand and patted her on the back with the other: "Lingling, you have an upset stomach, why don't you see a doctor?"
However, several women who had childbearing experience at the table looked at each other.
Cui Lingling regained her strength, realized something, raised her hand to feel her own pulse, and then said:
"I might add a younger sibling to Fei Fei!"
Although doctors don't heal themselves, she can still get the pulse.
Her dream of being unrestrained and unrestrained in the rivers and lakes was shattered just like that!
…
Anyway, this is considered a happy event. After finishing the meal lively, Shen Mingjiao felt even more desolate when he saw the courtyard suddenly deserted after the bustle, especially Feng Shuo was going to move out tomorrow.
In the evening, Feng Shuo rarely went back to sleep in the main courtyard very late.
Shen Mingjiao seemed to really think that he was an ordinary six-year-old child, telling him bedtime stories over and over again, but this little guy was too serious, and could always accurately find out the logical loopholes in her stories.
Shen Ming coquettishly threw the book into Feng Lisheng's arms, expressing that she couldn't do this job.
Feng Lisheng didn't open the book at all, and started talking about the art of war. Feng Shuo listened with great interest, and had to ask a few questions from time to time.
Shen Mingjiao leaned crookedly on the beauty's couch, staring boredly at the two, one big and one small, with the same back straight and firm eyes.
Originally, she was telling Feng Shuo a bedtime story, but listening to it, she fell asleep first.
After hearing the sound, even breathing sound, one big and one small at the same time lower the sound,
Waiting for Shen Mingjiao to fall asleep, Feng Lisheng stood up and gently hugged her onto the bed.
The next day, Shen Mingjiao got up early. Feng Shuo, who was wearing an apricot-yellow python robe, came over and kowtowed respectfully to the two of them.
Shen Mingjiao's nose was a little sore, she blinked quickly, and took out the half jade pendant that Yingsu gave her when she was in Peach Blossom Island from the wooden box.
"Although you are only less than ten years old, you seem to be smarter than me, and your aunt has nothing to teach you.
This half piece of jade pendant was left to you by your father, it is half of the token of Huitong Bank, and now it is returned to you.
Go to the East Palace and take good care of yourself alone, don’t work too **** your homework, and have a proper balance between work and rest..."
After a lot of miscellaneous instructions, he finally said softly: "Be a good prince, we are proud of you!"
Feng Shuo's eyes were a little sore. Although he lost his parents since he was a child, he has a family who loves him.
Watching the little guy away in the prince's sedan chair, Shen Mingjiao sighed sadly.
Although she just moved out of King Su's Mansion and moved into the East Palace, and she can see her whenever she wants to, but she still feels that King Su's Mansion is deserted all of a sudden.
