The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 447 The Grand Finale (1)
The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and it was already a vast expanse of whiteness from the crack of the door.Everyone was busy packing and loading their luggage into the carriage.The road from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River is far away, and it is such a winter weather, if you don't prepare properly, everything will be inconvenient.

Zhao Jing still sat in the armchair without moving, but the handkerchief in her hand was pulled out of shape, she must not leave.

The carriage hissed outside the door, and just now the woman opened the curtain and came in and said, "Madam Hou and Layman please get on the carriage."

Zhao Jing hesitated for a moment, then slowly stood up from her seat, and suddenly reached out and took off a golden hairpin from her hair, and pressed it against her chin: "I can't go, and I won't go."

"Why is this madam!" The woman frowned and looked at Zhao Jing, puzzled, "Don't madam understand the prince's feelings for madam?"

At this time, Zhao Jing closed her eyes and smiled. Since this woman worked hard for Zhou Yi, she must be able to meet Zhou Yi in person. It is better to let her bring the words to her. The two of them had a real understanding before.

"My lord's great love for Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing will never forget it, but..." Zhao Jing pursed her lips, turned her head slightly, and said slowly: "My lord and I are half brothers. Love is against the norms, and I ask the girl to bring these words to the prince, there is no limit to the sea of ​​suffering, if you turn around, please don't make the same mistakes again and again!"

"You... you said..." The woman glanced at Zhao Jing in disbelief, then turned her head to look at Mrs. Zhulei standing aside, and finally said seriously: "Madam Hou should go and talk to Mrs. Hou about these words in person. Wang Yeming said."

As the man said, he stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Jing, Madam Zhulei stopped in front of him, just at that moment, a guard came in from the door and replied to the woman: "It's not good, A large number of officers and soldiers surrounded us, and we were surrounded."

There was a rush of horseshoes outside the door, accompanied by the howling north wind, but it stopped at the door. There was already snow on the ground. Someone got off the horse and stepped on it, making creaking noises.

Zhao Jing saw that Wei Mingzhen was already standing outside the door. He was wearing a cloak made of white fox fur, with a few snowflakes on his brows. Behind him were densely packed officers and soldiers, enclosing the entire courtyard.

Looking at this posture, it is difficult for these people to escape.

"Let them go, and I'll guarantee you all to escape." Wei Mingzhen stood sideways at the door, his eyes slanted across the people in the room.

"Hurry up and save the prince." Madam Zhulei raised her head, glanced at the woman standing in front of her, and frowned.

"But... the lord must let his subordinates take his wife and laymen to go together." The woman's eyes were red with anxiety, but she still refused to leave.

"Let's go!" Madame Zhulei shouted angrily, grabbing her thoughts back.The man came back to his senses, only to see Mrs. Zhu Lei nodding at her and saying: "Let's go."

The carriage galloped away in the snow, and occasionally the mud on the ground turned up by the horse's hooves could be seen.The room fell silent, Zhao Jing sat on the armchair somewhat slumped, with slight sweat on her forehead.

Wei Mingzhen came in from the door, lifted his robe and knelt in front of Mrs. Zhulei, raised his head and said, "Mother, my son is late."

When Zhao Jing returned to the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, Mrs. Xu found out that she had been kidnapped, and she was terrified, so she hurriedly invited the imperial physician back to the mansion to diagnose her pulse.

Chang Geng also returned to the Marquis Mansion from the Ministry of War, the imperial physician Zhao Jing had seen, so she leaned on the kang in the next room and listened to him tell him about the news from the palace.

Originally, the Prince Regent's army was invincible all the way to the north, but after arriving in Yanzhou, they encountered Xu Si'an's army. The two armies faced each other for more than ten days, and their strength was comparable.Unexpectedly, Xu Si'an's army was defeated in the subsequent battle, and Yanzhou was almost lost. The regent ordered the siege, and Xu Si'an resisted in a desperate situation. He came from the west, joined forces with Xu Si'an, and forced the regent to the shore of the East China Sea.

"The prince's army came from the south, and Pingxihou's army came from the west, and then went around to the south, which means that the prince's retreat has been cut off, and our prince is guarding the north. Now the prince can only run to the east. , what’s there in the east, it’s just a vast ocean.” Chang Geng fought with Xu Si’an all the year round, and he still admired Xu Si’an’s military skills. It was brought here."
