From the capital to Yuecheng, their journey of exile took several months.
Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He's trip back to the capital was much faster. It took them less than half a month and passed through various inns, large and small, and finally arrived in the capital smoothly.
It's spring and the flowers are blooming. The majestic gate of the capital stands in front of you. The surrounding green plants and trees are growing particularly densely. What hits your nostrils is the rich fragrance of various flowers specially cultivated in the city.
What followed was that as the carriages drove slowly, the bustling and noisy sounds of people in the capital came from far away. As they got closer to the gate of the capital, various carriages also entered the city gate one after another. In and out.
People going in and out of the capital are not only dignitaries and ordinary people, but also business travelers from all over the country. This is a lively scene unique to the capital.
The carriage stopped safely near the gate of the capital. The guards of the capital were lining up people entering the city one by one. They also had to wait in line at the back to wait for the investigation.
When he noticed that the carriage had stopped, Ruan He subconsciously opened the curtain of the carriage, with a relaxed expression in his slightly raised eyes, looking at the scene in the capital from a distance, and let out a long breath.
"Finally..."
"arrive."
After all, she was not the predecessor of this body. When she traveled through time, it was already on the eve of the Hou Mansion being confiscated and exiled, and she had no chance to stay in the capital.
Therefore, for such a lively and prosperous capital, Ruan He's feeling when he first arrived was still novel and happy. No matter how many troubles he would encounter later, the soldiers would cover up the water and cover it up with the earth anyway.
After being inspected by the soldiers guarding the city, their carriage drove smoothly into the capital. The wheels of the carriage rolled slowly through the flat streets of the capital. Only Mu Yunxiao, Ruan He, his wife and Zong were left in the carriage. Aunt, Mu Yuanyuan, mother and daughter.
Since they did not encounter any trouble on this journey and arrived in the capital smoothly, Ruan He and the others did not bother to continue to protect them with the soldiers of the city lord of Yue City. They then parted ways at the gate of the city, leaving some silver coins and letting them go. This group of guards went back to Yuecheng first.
I don't know if there is anyone in the capital to take care of them. For the time being, they have to find an inn to rest, and we can discuss the rest later.
Ruan He was thinking like this. He raised his eyes and looked sideways at Mu Yunxiao. He planned to discuss with him a few more words, but instead, he saw something he had never seen before in Mu Yunxiao's complicated and dark eyes. mood.
This is the capital, the capital where Mu Yunxiao once fought bloody battles outside just for loyalty and protection. It is also the capital where so many members of the Mu family were confiscated and exiled after just one unjust letter of impeachment.
The last time he left the capital, he was unconscious on a stretcher with wounds all over his body. He had not yet experienced too many emotions. When they met again this time, Mu Yunxiao could not calm down the overwhelming emotions.
A pair of soft and warm hands slowly placed on Mu Yunxiao's clasped hand. He was startled and looked up. When he met a pair of clear and calm eyes, he only heard a sound of pure joy like falling beads. A soothing voice came out.
"It's okay, I'll help you this time."
……
When they first entered the capital, before they could find a suitable inn, troublemakers already came to their door.
The horse trampling on the streets of the capital suddenly let out a low roar, and then shook its body heavily, shaking the carriage behind it. "Hey!" Aunt Zong was already dizzy while sitting on the rickety carriage. She didn't react at this moment, staggered, let out an exclamation, and almost fell down.
Ruan He quickly reached out his hand, and he and Mu Yuanyuan grabbed hold of Aunt Zong who almost fell down. She then opened the curtain and looked outside.
The coachman also quickly tightened the reins and calmed the two frightened horses. Fortunately, the city lord of Yue City specially selected patient and gentle horses for them, so they would not be overly frightened by such a little movement.
When Ruan He looked outside, his brows suddenly knitted together, and his eyes stared dimly at the deliberately provocative unfamiliar face in front of him.
The leading man was dressed in rich clothes, with gold and jade, and his facial features could be considered decent, but there was a sinister and arrogant look between his eyebrows, which wiped out the sense of decency brought by his facial features, making people want to avoid him at first glance. Come on.
A large group of servants and guards followed behind him, and they were coming in a menacing manner. It was obvious that they were coming with bad intentions. They inexplicably swung their sharp whips on their horses that were moving smoothly, causing the horses to be frightened and the carriage to shake.
"Don't worry, I'll go take a look." Ruan He suppressed Mu Yunxiao who was about to get up. As the two looked at each other, the tacit understanding between them did not require the use of words to communicate. He got up and walked outside, pressing the button The short sword at his waist.
It is not convenient for Mu Yunxiao to show his face in the capital at this time. After all, his well-known name as general may have become a familiar face to the people in the capital, and he may also attract the lurking killers in the capital.
Ruan He got off the carriage neatly and looked at the group of uninvited guests who blocked the carriage for no reason. His eyes darkened slightly and he stepped forward to greet them.
"I wonder why this young master led someone to stop our carriage?"
When he saw this beautiful face without makeup, the third prince who blocked the car dazzled for a moment, stepped forward, looked at Ruan He leisurely, and suddenly sneered.
The steward who was following the third prince shouted angrily, and regardless of the cause and effect, he reprimanded arbitrarily: "You are so bold and unreasonable! Why don't you kneel down and salute when you see our third prince?"
The third prince?
Ruan He didn't know much about matters in the capital. He only knew that the fifth prince among the many princes was on good terms with Mu Yunxiao. He didn't know anything about the others. This was the first time he heard about the third prince.
The butler had a beard growing on his chin, a pair of deep-set big copper-bell eyes that showed fierceness, and his brows trembled a few times, giving off an aura that looked like a fox pretending to be a tiger.
The third prince didn't need to speak at all. There were already eagles and dogs beside him doing things for him. He only had to stand there arrogantly, and his rather offensive and unclear eyes swept up and down the slender and beautiful woman in front of him.
There are always many beauties of all kinds in such a large capital city, but there are very few women as beautiful and refined as this.
Ruan He met the third prince's unkind gaze and sneered coldly in his heart. He lowered his clear eyes, suppressed the coldness in his eyes, and bowed in a proper manner, making it impossible for anyone to find fault.
The third prince took his time to observe Ruan He's actions, his eyes motionless, but suddenly he asked: "Why don't the other people in the carriage come down to salute? They are being treasonous!" (End of this chapter)
