The Queen's Beggar's Wife

In the early morning of the next day, the east city gate of Ning Xi Kingdom had just opened, and a group of people rushed out of the city gate and headed straight to the western Tibetan Yuan Kingdom.These people are strong and handsome, all wearing black tight robes, riding tall horses, in addition to a simple change of clothes, dry food and water, there is a sharp long sword in the baggage under the saddle .

There is a man in the team who is particularly conspicuous. Apart from his distinctive white robe, he is also the most outstanding in appearance.At this moment, Huangfuyan on the horseback had a dignified expression, with a bit of lingering anxiety.

Along the way, except for some obstacles when passing the customs, it went smoothly.It's just that the closer you get to the capital city of the Tibetan Yuan Kingdom, the more rumors about Princess Yuehua Xiulou choosing a son-in-law become more and more widespread. Many men who meet the conditions and have a good family background rushed to the capital city in order to be chosen by the princess. Longmen, enjoy the glory and wealth.

After hearing too many rumors, Huangfuyan's complexion gradually darkened, and his gloomy face made the guards around him stay away from him.All the guards had one thought in their hearts: It would be great if General Sun was here.It's a pity that Sun Jun was sent to hunt down the remnants of the former prince Huangfu Bo, and he didn't accompany him this time.

The journey of more than 1000 miles, day and night, took less than three days. Huangfuyan and his party arrived at the outskirts of Zangyuan Country. They settled down in a farmyard to rest and wait for the people who came to pick them up.On the surface, this family is no different from an ordinary farmhouse, but in fact it is a stronghold established by Huangfuyan in his early years for the delivery of letters and the short stay of visitors.

After nightfall, Huangfuyan finally waited for Yunqing to come.Yun Qing lifted the hem of his robe and knelt in front of Huangfuyan, "See Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Huangfuyan raised his hand slightly, and made a gesture of support, "Get up. Tell me about the situation in the capital."

Yun Qing stood up, lowered his head slightly, and said: "His Royal Highness, the capital city is full of notices about the selection of the princess' son-in-law. The day of choosing a son-in-law will be three days later. It will last for one day, starting from sunrise and ending at sunset." In the end. Xiulou was built at the most prosperous intersection of Tianjie, and it is almost completed. In addition, since the notice was posted ten days ago, the defense in the capital has become much stricter, especially the four city gates. There are a large number of guards in the city day and night The army is patrolling, and the curfew has been enforced since Xu at night. The subordinates thought that these were all aimed at you, His Royal Highness."

Huangfuyan pondered for a while, and said, "How is she?"

"According to reliable sources, Ms. Chu is under house arrest in Xianfu Palace. Wan Su went to visit at night, and the guards in the palace are extremely strict, especially the area around Xianfu Palace is heavily guarded, so it is impossible to sneak in. However, we have heard some news, It's about Miss Chu."

"Say."

"I heard that Ms. Chu committed suicide with a short dagger in order to refuse to serve her bed. Fortunately, she stabbed a little bit and was rescued. Later, she knelt outside Qianqing Palace in the rain and asked Yu Wenhua to let her out of the palace. Probably because of her In order to be moved, Yu Wenhua issued an imperial decree to confer her the title of Princess Yuehua, and posted a notice to choose a husband for Princess Yuehua in Xiulou."

Huangfuyan's eyes were fixed, and the hand holding the teacup was almost crushed, "Why didn't these things be reported to the Crown Prince following the previous secret report?"

Yun Qing was startled, and secretly blamed himself for talking too much, and quickly explained: "The second owner feels that the domestic turmoil in Ning Xi has not yet subsided, and he is afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince will be distracted, so he conceals it and does not report it."

There was only a "click", and the cup in Huangfuyan's hand cracked into several pieces, "Who told you to make your own decisions?"

Huangfuyan's tone sounded plain on the surface, but Yun Qing still felt a chill rushing towards his face, and hurriedly knelt down, "His Royal Highness, please punish me!"

Huangfuyan was silent for a moment, and when the anger in his heart was almost resolved, Fang slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly said: "Forget it, now is the time for employing people, so the crown prince will not pursue your faults for the time being, and let you perform crimes and meritorious deeds. stand up."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Yun Qing rejoiced secretly, stood up, and stood aside, waiting for orders.

After a while, Huangfuyan asked again: "Is there anything else to report?"

Yun Qing thought for a while, "His Royal Highness the Prince's residence in the capital has been arranged. It is quiet in the middle of the noise, not far from the Xiulou. In view of the strict inspection of the city gate, the second owner specially asked his subordinates to come out to support the prince. His Highness disguised himself to sneak into the city."

"En. By the way, how did the investigation go?" Huangfuyan changed to a teacup, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, brought it to his lips and sipped it slowly.

Yun Qing frowned slightly when he smelled the fragrance of tea floating in the air.The young master always drinks top-grade tea, but this tea is just ordinary jasmine tea.He was curious, but he didn't dare to ask.Seeing Huangfuyan asked about the earlier investigation, he couldn't help but feel ashamed and hesitated, afraid that he would be angered by an accident.

"Why, it's just a small matter, can't we handle it well?" Huangfuyan was worried and anxious because he was worried about Chu Yueyin, and now seeing Yun Qing's hesitant appearance, he was even more displeased.

Seeing this, Yun Qing had no choice but to report the matter to Huangfuyan, "His Royal Highness, the matter was already settled, but just when Mr. Wan Su was talking nonsense, Miss Chu suddenly appeared and messed up the matter. And Chu Miss threatened Xia Lianheng not to enter the Lianxiang Hall again, nor to get close to Mr. Wan Su, and even spent 1 taels of silver to buy Mr. Wan Su."

Huangfuyan squinted his eyes and stared at Yunqing, "Xia Lianheng dare not come, wouldn't Wansu look for him by himself?"

"That Mr. Xia, bullying others on weekdays, looks very majestic. Who would have thought that he was stripped of his clothes and thrown at the gate of Xia's mansion by Miss Chu, and was imprisoned by Xia Zhizhang for a month. He was finally able to leave the mansion. Seeing Mr. Wan Su's name, I was so frightened that I turned around and ran away." Thinking of Xia Lianheng's appearance at that time, Yun Qing couldn't help laughing out loud, but was glanced at by Huangfuyan, and smiled embarrassingly.

Huangfuyan thought for a while, "Since that's the case, let's put this matter aside for now, let's talk about it after saving Yue'er first. Go down and rest first. Set off into the city tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Yun Qing bid farewell.

Huangfuyan sat in the room for a while, opened the door and stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, looking up at the crescent moon in the night sky, muttering to himself: "Yueer, Yan has returned. Please be patient. Wait for three days, after three days, Yan will definitely rescue you and take you to Ningxi country."

At the same moment, Chu Yueyin, who was in the Xianfu Palace, seemed to have a heart-to-heart connection, opened the window of the side hall, leaned on the window sill and looked at the vast night sky, thinking of Huangfuyan who was thousands of miles away.

"Yan, I don't know how you are doing in Ningxi Country? Do you think of me in your spare time?" Her soft and long-lasting sigh reached the ears of a man in black under the tree.The man in black hesitated for a moment, walked out from under the shadow of the tree, came to the window seven or eight feet away, and stood under the dim light, watching Chu Yue groaning silently.

Chu Yueyin recognized the person at a glance, curled the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "Why did General Leng come here late at night?"

"Miss Chu," Leng Feng took a few steps forward, his hoarse voice seemed a little heavy in the night, "If there is anything Leng Feng can do for you, it's okay to say."

Chu Yueyin looked at Leng Feng in surprise.In the eyes of outsiders, she, Chu Yueyin, had offended the emperor and was deposed as empress. She had fallen to the point where everyone avoided her.He is a popular general and son-in-law, but he visits late at night and offers to help her.

She thought for a while, and tentatively said: "General Leng is busy with official duties, how dare a woman of the people bother the general."

Leng Feng has a cold face and a warm heart, and he never likes to beat around the bush. Seeing Chu Yueyin's refusal, he felt a little anxious. "Miss Chu, if you treat Leng Feng as a friend, let Leng Feng help you."

friend?Chu Yueyin's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly remembered the night when she met Leng Feng, he left his official duties and escorted her safely to the Chu Mansion.After entering the palace, he also helped her several times overtly and secretly.Speaking of it, she did not live up to his affection.

"General Leng is honest with me. If Yueyin still wants to reject the general thousands of miles away, it will be Yueyin's fault. However, the general is loyal to the emperor, how can Yueyin let you go against the emperor. It is late at night, Yueyin Yin is going to rest, general, please come back." Chu Yueyin gave the order to drive away the guests, and was about to close the window when Leng Feng took a big step forward and grabbed the window frame with one hand.

"Miss Chu, please wait a moment."

Chu Yueyin let go, stared into Leng Feng's eyes, and said quietly for a while, "General Leng said he wanted to help Yueyin, so if Yueyin asks you to help rescue Xiyan, are you willing to lend a helping hand?"

Leng Feng was taken aback, he didn't expect that she would ask him to save Xiyan first, not herself.He pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Xiyan was involved in the case of Gongsun Wenxuan's treason 16 years ago. The emperor decided to thoroughly investigate the case and not let anyone slip through the net. Therefore...Leng Feng is really helpless."

Chu Yueyin's face sank, she turned around and left, "Since General Leng can't do anything, please go back."

A slight sound came from behind, and before Chu Yueyin could turn around, Leng Feng hugged her from behind.She turned pale with shock, and angrily accused: "General Leng, please respect yourself!"

Leng Feng let go of Chu Yueyin embarrassingly.He didn't know why seeing Chu Yueyin turned and left, he felt very sad, subconsciously jumped into the room through the window, and hugged her impulsively.

"Get out!" Chu Yueyin pointed at the open window and glared at Leng Feng angrily, "If you don't want Shan'er to be sad, go out immediately."

"Miss Chu, Leng Feng was impulsive just now, please forgive me! But Leng Feng came today to help you out of trouble."

"Unless you help me save Xiyan, there is no need to say anything high-sounding. You go now, and I won't mention what happened just now to Shan'er."

Seeing Chu Yueyin's vigilant expression, Leng Feng knew that no matter what he said, she would not believe her anymore, so he had no choice but to jump out of the window and sneak into the night.

Chu Yueyin breathed a sigh of relief, quickly closed the window, and stood in the darkness with her back against the window.After a long time, she was about to go back to the inner room to rest, when she suddenly heard a light knock on the window, and then a low voice came from outside the window: "Miss Chu, I will help you save her."

Chu Yueyin was startled, and when she came back to her senses and opened the window, there was no one in front of the window.
