Chang'an [Rebirth]

The Chai Zheng was placed in a carriage, which was much smaller than the one bought by Sun Qi's mansion, but the cost was not cheap. It was very stable for people to sit in, and the body was light. The wheels were all oiled. One horse can be dragged, but Gu Hensheng rode another horse.

Guo Yan originally wanted to accompany them with a few yamen servants, but Ruan Linshuang refused. The number of people was too large, not to mention that one Gu Hensheng could already be worth twenty or thirty yamen servants.

However, Ruan Linshuang didn't let Guo Yan idle, it's rare to have such a positive target to use, and the county magistrate is considered a leader, so there's a lot he can do——

Ruan Linshuang told Guo Yan to guard every intersection, and if he saw Kuanyuan and his group, he would send a message for himself, "The suburbs of Chang'an meet, and don't enter the city unless I come."

Guo Yan doesn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but the current situation has changed, and it is not easy for him to keep a peaceful place in this remote place. Those who go to Chang'an City don't only carry one side of their burdens, their actions must have deep meaning, He brought this sentence with him.

At the end, Guo Yan also sighed, "As expected of the daughter of my mentor, I can only look up to mediocrity."

This sentence is too modest, he still doesn't know that he can be a second-rank official in the future.

Changshou, as a galloping horse with excess energy, is still very fast even when pulling a cart. Chai Zheng is taken care of when eating and sleeping in the carriage, but he has to drink medicine every day. After a short time, even the root of his tongue becomes bitter. At first, I liked to dig in, not because I was afraid of taking medicine, but I just liked to be coaxed by Xiao Ruan's soft words, which was a lot of fun, but after drinking medicine, I became more straightforward, and Chai Zheng would clean up heroically when the time came.

It's not that the seven-year itch came so soon. As time went by, Chai Zheng felt weaker and less awake. The sword energy in her body couldn't be suppressed several times, and the quilt covering her body was torn apart. , Ruan Linshuang seemed to have noticed something, his face became more serious, Chai Zheng counted the days, thinking that Xiao Ruan hadn't smiled for several days.

They saved about twenty pills of antidote. At the beginning, one pill a day was effective, but after adding it to two pills a day, Ruan Linshuang didn't dare to add more medicine. It is guaranteed to reach the outside of Chang'an City before it runs out.

When Chai Zheng wakes up, she will wrap her clothes and sit up. She is more and more afraid of the cold. It is not cold when she goes to the Central Plains. Yes, my life is very hard, I will live a long, long life, and become a disaster...Xiao Ruan, I will also harm you."

She spoke weakly, but the expression on her face was very kind. The sun fell on Chai Zheng quietly. She had grown up a lot compared to many years ago. The tempered heroism, but this kind of heroism is not obtrusive, it is hidden in the bones of Chai Zheng, making her whole body reveal some complicated traces of time.

Chai Zheng inherited the looks of the eldest princess and the charm of Chai Guogong. Ruan Linshuang sometimes felt that she was like a jar of wine. People who thought she was strong would choke tears and drank it, only to realize that it was a cup of toast in the wind and snow. Human wine, the gentleness and generosity that seeps into the limbs and bones.

And Ruan Linshuang herself is like a knife that is tough and easy to break. If Chai Zheng hadn't been by her side these years, no matter how extreme and bloody the methods were, Ruan Linshuang would have done it... She would be a martyr, using her life as a bargaining chip for revenge , can pull Zhao Qian to leave a bad name forever.

When Chai Zheng was speaking, Ruan Linshuang was writing a letter to the capital with a pen and paper. She had to inform the Elder Princess and her father that the two letters would be sent from the next station. Of course Zhao Qian's people would check them out. But they are all homely words, and they are reported to be safe, and they can't find anything.

After writing two words, Ruan Linshuang's hands trembled uncontrollably. She sighed, crumpled up the letter dripping with ink, and threw it into a corner.

Chai Zheng picked up a sheet and spread it out to read, "Isn't this well written?"

Ruan Linshuang glanced at her, "What's good, let's talk about it."

"..." Chai Zheng thought for a while, "Good writing."

Ruan Linshuang's handwriting is really good. Back then when he was admitted to Jinshi, only this word was in the eyes of the examiners. Ruan Linshuang concealed his identity, from the provincial examination, the general examination to the palace examination. After the high school champion, he should have a broader future. It's a pity that she is a woman, and this word was picked up by a scholar of the Hongwen Museum, and she was left to be a book editor.

However, compiling a book is also beneficial. If there is nothing outside or scattered, you can read it here. The turmoil in the court will not affect her, but Ruan Linshuang is a bystander. She has seen officials fighting with people, fighting with officials, and even fighting with the emperor. Let's face it, the hearts of the people in Chang'an City don't have a peaceful time.

Seeing that Ruan Linshuang was in a daze, Chai Zheng said again, "Why don't you just write 'I'm safe, don't read it, I'm on the way, I'll be back in half a month', keep it simple, save too much writing and see the flaws."

Ruan Yuzhang didn't quite know about Chai Zheng. His own mother was the little fox's own mother, and he could tell if Chai Zheng was alive and kicking with a few words.

Thinking of his mother at home, Chai Zheng immediately thought of the imperial edict and the phoenix box. Both of these things could kill people. Fortunately, Gu Hensheng was not stupid. Chai Zheng hid the things after he passed out that day. It was directly given to Ruan Linshuang, and there was no fourth person to handle it.

Gu Hensheng had already avenged himself at this time, and he had nothing to worry about for the rest of his life. He was not interested in the court situation at all. I am indebted, so he did not refuse Ruan Linshuang's dispatch.

Chai Zheng rubbed the paper and threw it back where it was. She wrapped the quilt tightly and said, "Xiao Ruan, have you read the imperial edict?"

Ruan Linshuang didn't have the mood to continue writing the letter after Chai Zheng said so much, she put the pen aside, "I've read it... How many people know the existence of this edict?"

"I know you know, Gu Hensheng probably also knows, Dai Xuan is not necessarily, otherwise he would not use the Phoenix box as a simple killing tool... But even if he knew, it would be useless," Chai Zheng rubbed his itchy nose , "Everyone is dead."

"In the capital," Ruan Linshuang said, "How many people in the capital know about this edict?"

Even if the edict was written by the first emperor himself, with the Jade Seal of Chuanguo on it, witnesses are needed. Without witnesses, although the edict is effective, no one is willing to support Zhao Linlang to the throne...Emperor is not just a title and position, It is also a symbol of strength. The late emperor must leave something behind to ensure that Zhao Linlang will not be usurped before he takes the throne.

Moreover, Dajing has never had a precedent for passing on a woman. To calm down the court and establish prestige, apart from Zhao Linlang's own ability, it is a strong backing. The late emperor was immersed in power for many years. If he dared to write this edict, he must have left behind.

Chai Zheng thought for a while, "I didn't see the shadow of this backhand until I died... Could it be that the late emperor entrusted my mother to another short-lived ghost, who followed in the footsteps of the late emperor as soon as he died, or simply defected to Zhao Qian , just muddle through, don't bother with the heart of fratricide, right?"

Ruan Linshuang gave Chai Zheng a "talk less, think more" look.

Chai Zheng hugged the quilt and leaned on the carriage, she lowered her eyes and smiled and said, "If a person like the late emperor is willing to pave the way for someone, even Zhao Qian can't count..."

If the late emperor had sincerely asked for help, the person he had chosen would be good in everything, and he would be trustworthy after all kinds of investigations. He would support Zhao Linlang and die with all his might, unless there was no such person——

Of course there were people present when the first emperor wrote the imperial edict, but these people were just to serve as witnesses, as long as they could keep their mouths shut, no matter who became the emperor, they would continue to assist the country and government.

What the late emperor left for Zhao Linlang should not be a person, but a piece of power. No matter how long it has passed or what kind of changes have been experienced, once it is activated, it can change the power of the court.

However, all power can only be effective if it is held in the hands of others. In the previous life, this secret was carefully concealed. Even Zhao Linlang herself didn't know that the position above ten thousand people was originally hers.

Chai Zheng felt a little drowsy again after thinking about it, she closed her eyes slightly, her breathing gradually eased and became long, her chin pressed against the edge of the quilt, her head was bit by bit, and she did not fall down, but her cheeks squeezed out a little The meat is not as clean as it was a few days ago.

With tenderness in his eyes, Ruan Linshuang looked at Chai Zheng carefully, then reached out to hold the drooping head in his palm, opened a gap in the quilt, and wrapped himself in it.

Although Chai Zheng always felt cold in the past two days, her body temperature was always on the high side, and the bed was warm, probably because she felt Ruan Linshuang came in, Chai Zheng tried to raise half of her eyelids, and chuckled softly, "Squeeze. "

"Then I go out?" Ruan Linshuang took Chai Zheng's hand and hugged her in his arms.

Chai Zheng couldn't move her eyelids, so she just closed them and hugged Ruan Linshuang, "Forget it, give me a kiss, I can give you half of my quilt, and I can give you all of it."

Ruan Linshuang kissed the tip of Chai Zheng's nose, but when Chai Zheng raised her head and pursed her lips, she pulled up the quilt, "Sleep."

Chai Zheng laughed and scolded, "Bad guy."

This was the longest day Chaizheng was awake in the past ten days, and she talked intermittently for half an hour. In the next few days, Chaizheng fell into a long coma again, and she had completely lost her sense of taste. How bitter the medicine is and how sour the hawthorn is, Chai Zheng can solve it with two mouthfuls, and then continue to sleep.

Ruan Linshuang didn't know why, but her heart was peaceful. When Chai Zheng was awake, she would say a few insignificant words to her; Occasionally, I also play with the phoenix box and the imperial edict.

The phoenix box is stubborn, the previous owner was backlashed, and Chai Zheng happened to be next to it, and after feeding it two mouthfuls of blood, this thing followed Chai Zheng sternly.

If this thing was simply a hidden weapon, Chai Zheng would be more than happy to accept it, but unfortunately it would cost too much to use, and Chai Zheng didn't want to lose arms or legs.
