Chapter 283, people can’t live just for love
Ye Mo was dismissed, and many officials applauded, but the other princes except the fourth prince were in a bad mood.
Although the Techa Division has a bad reputation, it is a real official office with real power.
Inspectors, what weight!
Lord Liu Hou is the elder brother of Concubine Liu Gui and the uncle of the Fourth Prince. Letting Lord Liu be in charge of the Techa Department shows the emperor's preference for Concubine Liu Gui and the Fourth Prince.
Seeing this, all the officials couldn't help but want to spy on the reactions of the prince and other princes.
As for the fallen Pingguo Mansion, no one cares about it.
Ye Mo rebuilt the Ye Family Ancestral Hall, and Ye Lanzhi also moved back to Changle Hou Mansion.
Just when Shi Fuxin was thinking about whether to send Ye Mo a congratulatory gift, Shi Dinghao came back from the palace.
"Sister, did you know that Cao Yunting escaped from prison!"
Shi Fuxin was full of surprise: "Cao Yunting's martial arts is not very good, right? How did he escape from prison?"
Shi Dinghao took a sip of tea: "It was the dead soldiers raised by Duke Ping who rescued him from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
Shi Fuxin was a little emotional after hearing this: "Ping Guogong really has nothing to say to Cao Yunting, but he has nothing to say to Luo Yuanlu"
Shi Dinghao also expressed deep sympathy for Luo Yuanlu: "I quite understand Mrs. Ping Guogong. If I were Mrs. Ping Guogong, I would kill Ping Guogong myself, otherwise it would not be enough to relieve hatred."
Shi Fuxin looked at his younger brother: "Cao Yunting's escape from prison has nothing to do with us, so don't ask too much about it."
Shi Dinghao nodded: "In the past two days, the atmosphere in Qianqing Palace has been very tense. The fourth prince has contradicted the prince several times, but the emperor laughed and exposed them all. The prince's face is so dark."
Shi Fuxin lowered her eyes, she didn't expect that Ye Mo's seizure of power this time would spark a fight between the crown prince and the fourth prince.
Thinking of the emperor who promoted all this, Shi Fuxin deeply felt that it was absolutely correct for the cheap apprentice to choose to hide his strength and bide his time.
"It's not easy to be a royal son!"
"is not that right."
Because of the strife between the crown prince and the fourth prince, Shi Dinghao was a little more careful than usual when he entered the palace on errands, trying to reduce his sense of existence so as not to become cannon fodder.
What he never expected was that he avoided the princes, but not the princess.
In winter, when the emperor and all civil and military officials go to the court, it is usually not yet dawn. As the emperor's trumpet, Shi Dinghao has to enter the palace early.
On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Shi Dinghao took a shortcut as usual to go to the Qianqing Palace to accompany his driver. When he passed the Taiye Pool, he suddenly heard a "plop" sound of falling into the water.
Shi Dinghao subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw Princess Yong'an, who was dressed in night clothes, soaked in ice water with a pale complexion, as if she had passed out.
"Shua!"
Shi Dinghao quickly turned his head back, and continued to run towards the Qianqing Palace.
"Didn't see, didn't see, I didn't see anything."
Shi Dinghao muttered while running.
"A person has one's own life, and if she is really going to die, that is also her life."
"Respect the fate of others, and let go of helping others."
"I am the treasure in the hearts of my parents, brothers and sisters. I cannot take risks. I have to protect myself for them."
"The sky is big and the earth is big, but my life is the biggest."
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."
"damn it!"
Shi Dinghao stopped suddenly, spat at himself, flew back to the Taiye Pool with a 'swish', picked up the unconscious Princess Yong'an and went straight to the abandoned palace he had discovered before.
Princess Yong'an dressed like this must not let other people know.
And he doesn't want to cause trouble, and he doesn't want the credit for saving the princess, so it is most appropriate to put Princess Yong'an in the abandoned palace.
When he arrived at the abandoned palace, Shi Dinghao put Princess Yong'an on the bed, first fed her a Qi-replenishing pill, then pulled down the curtain, closed his eyes, took off her wet coat, wrapped the curtain around her body, and muttering.
"Hey, I shouldn't be meddling in my own business."
"Fortunately, she passed out of a coma. Otherwise, Princess Yong'an would definitely think that I was taking advantage of her. If she slapped me as soon as she opened her eyes as written in the story book, then I would vomit to death."
"Hey, I'm so kind."
"Amitabha, God, you can bless me a lot."
Hiding Princess Yong'an under the bed to ensure that no one would find it even if someone came, Shi Dinghao quickly left.
What Shi Dinghao didn't know was that as soon as he left, the comatose Princess Yong'an opened her eyes, and looked down at herself wrapped in a cicada chrysalis, her eyes flickering.
Although Shi Dinghao rushed to Qianqing Palace as quickly as possible, he was still late and the morning court had already begun.
The emperor doesn't like the lack of dedication of his attendants, and the prince's and the fourth prince's people quarreled in the court because of some trivial matters, and the other princes were still fighting, and vented their anger on Shi Dinghao body.
The emperor directly punished Shi Dinghao to kneel at the gate of Qianqing Palace for most of the day.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, it began to snow again after dawn, and the imperial guards and eunuchs and maids who had been friends with Shi Dinghao were all sweating coldly for him.
By the time he knelt down, Shi Dinghao's body was already covered with a layer of white snow, as if he was wearing a white fur.
"The emperor asked you to go home and reflect on yourself. You must not be late again in the future."
Master Zhao came over to help Shi Dinghao who was frozen, seeing that his hands and feet were stiff, he called two guards, and directly carried Shi Dinghao out of the palace.
Sitting in the carriage of the uncle's house, Shi Dinghao sighed heavily: "Sixth sister is right, you can't just show kindness to save people, kindness is very expensive, and you need to pay a very high price."
Before he got home, everyone in the Shi family knew about Shi Dinghao being punished by the emperor to kneel down.
After Shi Dinghao came back, he vaguely dismissed the people in the house, but kept Shi Fuxin behind.
Shi Fuxin looked at his younger brother: "Tell me, what happened?"
Shi Dinghao quickly told Shi Fuxin about saving Princess Yong'an.
Shi Fuxin frowned: "Princess Yong'an is wearing night clothes? Isn't she weak and sick?"
Shi Dinghao had the same puzzled expression: "Yeah, I'm surprised too."
Shi Fuxin: "Cainted by the Taiye Pool, what did she do?"
Shi Dinghao shook his head: "Sixth sister, the third brother-in-law has a very close relationship with Princess Yong'an, do you want to tell him about this?"
Before Shi Fuxin could answer, she heard the servant girl report that Shi Fuyin and Xiao Ziqing had come.
"It should be my sister who knows that you have been punished by the emperor, so don't worry, come back and have a look."
"Since my brother-in-law is here, you can talk to him later."
Shi Fuyin questioned Shi Dinghao with concern, and was relieved only after making sure that he was not frozen.
After comforting his sister, Shi Dinghao looked at Xiao Ziqing: "Brother-in-law, I was punished today for saving Princess Yong'an."
Hearing this, Xiao Ziqing and Shi Fuyin changed their colors in unison.
"Yongan was injured?!"
"Is the injury serious?"
Shi Fuxin looked at the faces of the two: "Sister, brother-in-law, Princess Yong'an left the palace last night, you don't seem surprised?"
Shi Fuyin did not answer immediately, but looked at her husband.
They are all wives, brothers, wives and sisters, so Xiao Ziqing didn't hide it: "Yong'an left the palace to go to Anguogong's mansion."
Shi Fuxin was puzzled: "Princess Yong'an is going to An Guogong's mansion when can't she go, she has to go at night? Also, Princess Yong'an knows martial arts?"
Shi Fuyin glanced at Xiao Ziqing: "Yong'an really knows martial arts, and his internal strength is not inferior to mine."
Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao were both startled.
Shi Dinghao exclaimed even more: "Princess Yong'an is so weak, but she doesn't look like she knows martial arts at all."
Shi Fuyin nodded: "Yong'an's flying knives are very powerful. Under the eighth rank, you can kill with a knife."
Shi Fuxin affirmed that Princess Yong'an was probably the same as Chu Yao, inheriting the internal strength of others.
The reason why his body is so weak is probably caused by the backlash of internal force all the year round.
Shi Fuxin thought about what happened recently, and suddenly looked at Xiao Ziqing: "Brother-in-law, Princess Yong'an came out of the palace because of Cao Yunting, right?"
Xiao Ziqing nodded heavily: "After Yunting escaped from prison, he didn't have time to escape from the capital. Now people from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Special Inspection Division, and Special Supervision Division are all looking for him. He has nothing to do, so he begged me. Come."
"Yun Ting treats me like a brother, I can't abandon him."
"The masters around me were all given by the Empress Dowager. If they knew that Yun Ting was looking for me, they would definitely tell the Empress Dowager. I can only ask Yongan to come and help."
"Last night was the day I sent Yun Ting out of the city gate. Everything was going well, but when I was approaching the city gate, I ran into someone from the special supervisor."
"Yong'an separated from us in order to distract the people from the special supervision department."
Shi Fuxin rubbed her forehead: "So, Cao Yunting is still in Anguogong Mansion?"
Xiao Ziqing and Shi Fuyin didn't speak, it was tacit agreement.
Shi Fuxin stopped talking.
My elder sister has already married. To the elder sister and brother-in-law's family, she is an outsider and cannot get involved in everything. Let them solve their troubles by themselves.
Because there was Cao Yunting hiding in the mansion, and they wanted to go to the palace to see the injured Princess Yongan, Xiao Ziqing and Shi Fuyin didn't want to stay any longer, knowing that Shi Dinghao was fine, the couple left in a hurry.
As soon as the two left, Shi Dinghao asked Shi Fuxin: "Sister, why don't you help the third sister and the third brother-in-law?"
Shi Fuxin looked at him: "Did they ask me for help?"
Shi Dinghao: "I still need to speak."
Shi Fuxin: "Of course I need it. If I don't ask, how do I know if they need help?" As she said, she nodded Shi Dinghao's head.
"Don't be smart about everything, don't think your thoughts are other people's thoughts. Maybe the third brother-in-law already has a perfect plan, and if I rashly intervene, it may destroy his plan."
"Have a good time, unless they ask for help, don't use your own thoughts to speculate on others."
"Sometimes, if you don't care about other people's need or not, and just follow your own ideas to help, the result will become harmful instead."
"In the end, if that person doesn't appreciate it, you will still feel wronged and feel that your kindness has been wrongly paid."
"In your opinion, that is kindness, but in the eyes of others, it is just your self-moving."
Shi Dinghao looked at Shi Fuxin: "Sister, then did I make a mistake in saving Princess Yong'an, and she didn't even come to my rescue?"
Shi Fuxin's expression cracked, and she looked at her younger brother speechlessly: "Isn't Princess Yongan in a coma?"
Shi Dinghao groaned for a while: "Sister, I feel that I have suffered a loss in saving people this time. I have to find a chance and ask Princess Yong'an to make up for it."
"This is your own business, you can do whatever you want." Shi Fuxin shook her head and left.
That night, Shi Fuxin heard a noise coming from the roof, got up and flew to the roof: "Master Ye."
Ye Mo looked at Shi Fuxin: "Do me a favor."
Shi Fuxin murmured in her heart, "If you have nothing to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Palace", but she still said: "You say."
Ye Mo: "I promised Mrs. Cao to send Cao Yunting out of Beijing."
Shi Fuxin's head hurts again, and Cao Yunting's escape from prison has nothing to do with her, but it finally falls on her: "Cao Yunting is now in Anguogong's mansion, and he is safe."
Ye Mo shook his head: "The people from the Special Supervision Department have already set their sights on Anguo Gong's mansion, and they have to send Cao Yunting away from Beijing as soon as possible."
Shi Fuxin's head hurt even more: "Okay, I'll arrange it."
Seeing her agreeing, Ye Mo moved his lips and wanted to thank her, but when he thought that this girl was his half-disciple, he couldn't pull his face away and left without saying a word.
When Shi Fuxin saw it, she pursed her lips: "You are the master, and I am also the master. From now on, I will also be able to call my disciples to do things like this."
After returning to the bedroom, Shi Fuxin pondered for a while, changed into night clothes, and went directly to An Guogong's mansion.
Xizhimen, countless businessmen pulling trucks are lining up to enter and leave the city.
In the middle of the team going out of the city, boxes of exquisitely packaged rouge and gouache on the van of the girl's smile attracted the attention of many people.
"etc."
When it was Hong Yanxiao's turn to inspect the truck, a carriage suddenly drove up. Then, Shi Fuxin got off the carriage and scolded the person in charge of escorting the goods.
"How do you order the goods? You don't even know if you took the wrong goods."
As he spoke, he waved to Gan Fanren behind him, "Hurry up and exchange the goods."
Gan Fanren immediately removed the goods from the carriage, and prepared to exchange them with those on the truck.
When the guy was changing the goods, Gan Fanren walked up to the gate guard eagerly, and quietly handed over a piece of silver.
"I'm wasting everyone's time, this is the wine money for the military lords."
The guards took the money, because almost all the things on the car were removed when changing the goods, so the guards didn't bother to check any more, and waved them away.
"Wait a minute!"
Hearing the voice, Shi Fuxin's heart skipped a beat.
Chu Yao!
Why did you meet this guy again?
Watching Chu Yao come on horseback, Shi Fuxin stepped on a stone on the ground with her right foot, and then, with a slight lift of her right leg, the stone was shot along the ground and shot at Chu Yao's horse's leg.
"Woo~"
The horse was frightened suddenly, while Chu Yao was trying to comfort him, Shi Fuxin took a look at Gan Fanren, and Gan Fanren immediately called his assistant out of the city.
By the time Chu Yao stood in front of Shi Fuxin, the convoy had already left.
Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Yao with a smile: "Master Yao, we are really destined to meet again."
Chu Yao squinted at Shi Fuxin for a while, and suddenly smiled: "The things sold by the beauty are so expensive, do you think there will be people robbing them outside the city?"
Shi Fuxin's heart sank, but her complexion didn't change at all.
Looking at Shi Fuxin's harmless smile, Chu Yao's eyes were a little strange: "You dare to meddle in anything."
Shi Fuxin blinked her eyes, and gave him a puzzled look.
Chu Yao glanced at the truck that had already left the city, and snorted: "Master Liu Hou is in a hurry to make meritorious service when he takes over Techasi, so be careful." After speaking, he left without chasing the truck.
When Fuxin saw her, she was a little surprised, so she quickly left the city in a carriage without thinking too much about it.
After chasing more than ten miles outside the city, Shi Fuxin found more than a dozen dead bodies in a forest.
Shi Fuxin scanned around, but she didn't see Cao Yunting, she looked relieved, Cao Yunting should have run away.
Suddenly, Shi Fuxin glanced at the direction of the top of the mountain, and ordered Xiaofang to drive the carriage to the official road, while she flew up to the top of the mountain, and saw Xiahou Huanyan standing on the mountain looking into the distance.
Shi Fuxin followed her line of sight and saw a figure flying away.
"Sister Xiahou, are you okay?"
Xiahou Huanyan gave Shi Fuxin a big smile: "I'm fine."
Shi Fuxin walked over and held her hand: "There is no one else here, you can cry."
Xiahou Huanyan shook her head: "There's nothing to cry about." After a pause, "I left Yunting behind and let him leave alone, do you think I'm selfish?"
Shi Fuxin: "No, you are very brave."
Xiahou Huanyan's eyes now had a gleam: "Actually, I'm not afraid to wander the world with him, but I just thought that if I come to this world for a while, I can't just live for him."
Said, laughing at himself.
"I used to say that I wanted to be a chivalrous woman, but now that I think about it, how can a selfish person like me deserve to be a chivalrous woman?"
“I am not afraid of suffering, but I am afraid that my parents will be sad, and I am even more afraid that my children will be homeless in the future.”
Shi Fuxin: "Sister Xiahou, you are not wrong, love, it is good to have it, and it does not prevent us from living well. The most important thing in this world is to love ourselves well, and all the people and things that make us fall into an unstable situation , we should all give up."
