Chapter 214 Disaster (3)
Xiao Qingyue and others did not dare to stay in the General's Mansion for a long time. If the spies in the palace were met, it would be troublesome. When they left the General's Mansion, it was half an hour later, and Xiao Nanfeng did not appear at the agreed time.
Xiao Qingyue knows his character. If he receives the message, he will not come. Even if there is any delay, he will send the message in advance. Unless something happens in the middle...
The more I thought about it, the more I became more worried. After discussing with Su Xing, I decided to let Li Xun go to the Linchuan Prince's Mansion to inquire about the situation. They first returned to the Minister of Rites' Mansion and waited for news.
The carriage returned as the original journey, and there was inevitably bumpy along the way. Before they left, Xiao Youyu specially brought a thick mattress and placed it in the car, so that Xiao Qingyue would sit more comfortably when she went back. Knowing that her pregnancy reaction was severe, she prepared some sour dates for Xiao Qingyue to take her to eat on the way.
Sitting in the car, holding a large paper bag of sour jujubes in his hand, Xiao Qingyue was very moved.
The road was silent, with only the sound of horse hooves. Thinking of the suspicion in my heart before, I didn't have time to tell Shen Yuzhang and the others just now, and she asked the person sitting outside to drive the bus.
"Su Xing?"
Hearing the screams, the person who drove the car thought she was feeling unwell and couldn't help but slow down the carriage.
"But I feel uncomfortable and want to vomit?"
"No, it's okay now. There's something I've been saying before."
"What's the matter, you said"
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Qingyue slowly said, "Do you have any news about Yin Jun recently?" She only heard that the Yin family father and son were stripped of their official positions, and Yin Jun was imprisoned in the eldest princess's mansion, and it was unknown what else was.
After a brief thought, Su Xing replied, "Yin Jun should be locked in the eldest princess's mansion, why did he suddenly ask him?"
"Have you ever thought about what will happen to me if the emperor catches me?"
After hearing this, Su Xing thought again, "If you fall into the hands of the emperor again this time, the emperor will not keep you again."
"But if the emperor wants to order me to be killed, Nan Feng will not sit still and wait for death. The emperor should be the least willing to see his brothers as enemies. If he wants to keep Nan Feng for his use, he will never order me to be executed in person."
The more Su Xing listened, the clearer his heart became. Something flashed in his mind, "What do you mean is that this time the emperor will use his old tricks again like he did a few years ago?" They all knew that on the day Xiao Qingyue married, Xiao Yan had secretly arranged for Yin Jun to get rid of her.
"Not bad! The emperor wants to get rid of me, and Yin Jun wants to get rid of Nan Feng. The only thing they have in common is me!"
After saying this, Su Xing also felt that there was a possibility. "The emperor has always been very suspicious. While he was interested in the talents of the Sixth Prince, he was also afraid of his power. I always felt that the emperor was using the Sixth Prince to lead you out this time."
The person behind the curtain fell into a brief silence. At this time, she took out something from under the mattress she was sitting. It was the white jade flute that Xiao Nanfeng asked her to bring back when she left the Linchuan Palace before. There was a sharp sword body hidden in the flute. She was asked to carry it with her self-defense.
He sighed heavily, "Oh... If I had followed my method before, everyone would not have to be so worried." Thinking of Xiao Youyu's nervous look when she left just now, she felt a little guilty.
"It's different from the past. Now you are pregnant and you will definitely not be able to fall into the trap. Now no one knows what the emperor is thinking. Now he is interested in the Sixth Prince because the Sixth Prince is alone. If the situation is serious in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not kill him!"
"No! The emperor will not easily break up with Nan Feng. It is said that the royal family is ruthless, and there is no true love between the royal family, but the emperor is a person who attaches great importance to the royal bloodline. At the beginning, the fifth prince Xiao Xu did so many wrong things, but in the end, the emperor did not order him to execute him. I heard that the elder brother of the emperor has been in a bad state since he saved his life, and even the emperor's own body is not as good as before. Now the father and son of the Yin family have stepped down, except to be close to the Eastern Palace.
Even outside the Shen family, most of the forces in the court are controlled by foreign ministers. Among the Xiao royal family, Xiao Xu has been exiled, and the fourth brother Xiao Ji does not participate in politics. If something happens in the capital one day, there will be some chaos, and the only one who can stand up and preside over the overall situation and help the sixth prince... So the emperor will never order me to be executed personally. What he least wants is to break up with the sixth prince, and he can only kill someone with a knife! Sacrifice one Yin Jun and get the result he wants..."
The "old man" who drove outside the car listened carefully to this sentence, and after a while he sighed and said.
“What a pity…”
Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but ask, "What a pity?"
At this time, Su Xing's face had a faint smile and praised him, "If you are a man, you will definitely become an excellent military advisor with such thoughts and vision."
Military advisor? Xiao Qingyue chuckled and said self-deprecatingly, "There is no old saying that a woman without talent is virtue. In such an era, women's status is far inferior to men. Even those who are truly talented are buried under the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues."
"Haha, you are very dissatisfied with the current system"
"So what can I do if I am dissatisfied? Many women today rely on the favor of men. Even the ladies of noble families cannot be spared. Beauty is beautiful, new people change to old people, and women can never escape the aging of their faces, and their love is relaxed..." For some reason, a trace of sadness arose in Xiao Qingyue's heart. Maybe it was because she saw her face gradually changing color after she was pregnant.
Su Xing listened quietly and replied after a while, "Xiao Nanfeng won't treat you like that." That person values love and is also sincere, and he cannot deny this.
In the dark night, the people behind the curtain just smiled. They didn't know where their tomorrow was. Now they couldn't help but look a bit pretentious, and this was not like her at all.
After calming down her emotions, she turned back to the topic, "I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to leave the house again in the past two days. If you have time, you might as well find Shen Yuzhang to discuss what I just said, and take advantage of the two days to check Yin Jun's movements."
"good!"
The carriage was still driving slowly, and after a few intersections, it was about to reach the residence of the Minister of Rites. When the carriage was about to pass a fork, Su Xing suddenly became alert. The reins in his hand tightened a little again, and the carriage became slower and slower...
The night tonight was as fascinating as well, and there was no starlight in the night sky. In order not to let those who were interested notice their whereabouts, they went to the general's mansion to walk in remote paths in the city. Despite this, they were still seen... This reminded Su Xing of what Xiao Qingyue said just now, did the emperor already know the true identity of the third lady of the Minister of Rites!
A gust of wind blew up, lifting the heavy curtain of the carriage, Xiao Qingyue, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but fight a cold war. She also noticed that the moment was too quiet, and with some strange atmosphere, she frowned and asked.
"Is there something happening?" She sat inside and she clearly felt that the carriage was getting slower and slower...
Su Xing's eyes were alert and sweeping back, and he spoke and reminded, "Be careful! Something seems to be wrong nearby!"
Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but become nervous when she heard this, and subconsciously protected her abdomen...
I slowly walked to the intersection of Fork 1 and 3, and after turning, several masked men in black jumped out towards me! Obviously, these people were already waiting here!
