Blessed

Chapter 140
In the capital, people are in panic, as are the aristocratic families. The gates of the city are sealed, and the changes in the palace have already spread in the capital. The guards are stricter than before. The top ten boards have made people's hearts scattered. Everyone dare not say it on the face, but discuss it in private. They feel that the third prince, Concubine Mu Gui, is ambitious and cruel. Even if he controls the harem now, it won't last long.

Concubine Mu Gui also felt restless in the palace. Even if she controlled the harem, the tens of thousands of troops outside the city were guarding her. At least she had to wait for the Zuo Dudu to enter the capital. That would be half a month later, and she was also worried that there would be other changes in this half month. occur.

Xu Shi was in a bad mood, she acted a lot more viciously, and when the palace servants made mistakes, they would be killed by her commanding rod.

Let’s say that Yuzhu and Xie Che traveled all day, and finally found a post station when it was completely dark, and handed over the horse to the station official to take them to the backyard to rest. There is a first-class room, first go back to the room to freshen up, and hot food has been prepared downstairs.

Xie Che waited outside the door, waiting for Yuzhu to wash up, and the two went downstairs to eat something.

The little official prepared two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes and a fish soup, which is rare in a sparsely populated post station.Yuzhu had something on her mind, she was worried about both Shen Xian and the capital, she had a bad appetite, she was full after a few sips of fish soup, Xie Che persuaded her to eat some more, but she started to retch, which shocked Xie Che Jump, "Jiaojiao, what's the matter, but what's wrong? I went to ask the doctor to come and take a look."

Yuzhu shook her head, "Brother Xie, no need, maybe I'm too nervous, besides, there's no doctor in this place, we'd better go back and rest early, and leave early tomorrow, I'm really worried."

Xie Che was worried, but there was no doctor here, so he had to give up, ask the officer for some hot water and go upstairs.

At dawn, the two hurriedly had breakfast and set off on the road. Yuzhu still felt a little nauseous during breakfast, and she was afraid that Xie Che would hold back because of worry. Yesterday's dinner and breakfast didn't have any unusual taste, but for some reason, after eating Just be nauseous.

On the morning of the third day, they finally arrived at Youzhou. Xie Che took the badge given by Emperor Ruiwu and borrowed soldiers to go to Lizhou together. In the afternoon, he saw the city gate of Lizhou and entered the city. Yuzhu planned to go to the governor's mansion first. .

When they arrived at the governor's mansion, all the servants in the mansion were panicked, and they were led to meet Kong Zhixi. She was very happy to see Yuzhu and Xie Che. Yuzhu asked her about the situation in the house, and Kong Zhixi said sadly, "Since my brother disappeared, sister-in-law I also fell ill, and my nephew needs me to greet him, and he is extremely busy every day. Two days ago, elder brother Shen brought people from Jinyiwei to follow the trail to find my elder brother's whereabouts, but there was no news from them in the past two days. I'm really worried, by the way, sister-in-law, why did you come here?"

Yuzhu couldn't tell her about her dream, so she said, "There may be changes in the capital, and I'm also worried about my husband, so I came to Lizhou for a visit."

Kong Zhixi worried, "What happened in the capital?"

Yuzhu said, "I'm afraid someone wants to usurp the throne, so I must find my husband and return to Beijing as soon as possible." She was not at ease, and always felt that something happened in the capital.

"Sister-in-law, it's getting late, you should rest in the mansion for one night, and make plans after getting up early tomorrow."

Now that the twilight is getting darker, it is indeed not suitable to go out to find someone, besides, I need to find someone to find out where the big mountain in the dream is.

The number of soldiers borrowed from Youzhou is not too many, only 50 to [-] people, and tomorrow will be good for helping to find people.There must be something wrong with the left governor of Lizhou, and the place is not safe, and the soldiers from Youzhou have to guard Youzhou to prevent borrowing troops from the gate of the village.During dinner, Yuzhu and Kong Zhixi inquired about the topography of this place, "Does Zhixi know what deep mountains are nearby? The ancient trees in the mountains are towering, and there are ruined temples..." She tried her best to recall the scene in her dream, "By the way, there is still a Maple leaf forest." She dreamed that there was a maple leaf forest not far from where Shen Xian was fighting.

Kong Zhixi said, "Sister-in-law, I know this. You are talking about Mount Jiuhua." Mount Jiuhua stretches for hundreds of kilometers and is not the largest mountain range, but inside it is very dangerous, with towering ancient trees, ferocious beasts, There is a maple forest. In autumn, the red leaves are fluttering. It is a rare beauty, so everyone in Lizhou knows this place.

Yuzhu asked, "Is there a ruined temple in Mount Jiuhua?"

Kong Zhixi said, "I'm not too sure about this. I need to ask an old Orion. They often walk in the mountains and are familiar with the terrain inside. Sister-in-law, I need to ask an old Orion."

Yuzhu nodded, "Of course I want it, don't delay, go look for it now, find Minger and lead the way into the mountain."

"Okay, I'll send someone to ask some old hunters." Kong Zhixi ordered, and then called the maids to bring dinner, "Sister-in-law, eat more."

The dinner in the mansion was sumptuous, Yu Zhu ate a small bowl of meat soup, her stomach began to feel uncomfortable, she got up and went outside and retched twice, Xie Che and Kong Zhixi followed, Xie Che worried, "Jiao Jiao, I'm afraid this won't work Yes, I must find a doctor to come and see, you have been like this all the way, I am not at ease."

Kong Zhixi called the maid to call the doctor.

Yuzhu also knew that she was stubborn, so she went back to her room and waited for the doctor to come.

The doctor came to the mansion soon, took Yuzhu's pulse, and asked, "I'm afraid that Ma'am has not been here for this month's menstruation. The old man just gave out the happy pulse. Madam is probably pregnant."

The three people present were stunned, Yuzhu was even more stupid, and asked stammeringly, "Lang, what did the doctor say, I'm pregnant?"

The doctor laughed and said, "I'm afraid it can't be wrong. It's a slippery pulse, but it should be conceived just now."

Xie Che said, "Lang Zhong, my sister came here on a bumpy journey, and she vomited a few times on the road, is the baby in her womb still safe?"

Lang Zhong said, "Your Excellency, don't worry, Madam is in good health, she has not been affected, and the fetus is stable."

When Langzhong left, Yuzhu hadn't recovered. She never thought that she would be pregnant at this time. She stretched out her hand and stroked her stomach, full of surprises. Kong Zhixi sat beside her and congratulated her with a smile. Yuzhu smiled and said, " Thank you."

Standing under the eaves, Xie Che looked at Yuzhu in the room with lowered brows and a smile under the candlelight, and felt a sense of complete relief in his heart. He had liked her for several years, but now he had completely let go.

Not long after, the guards of the mansion came back and brought back an old hunter who said that he knew where the ruined temple in Mount Jiuhua was.The guide has been found, and everyone plans to set off early tomorrow morning. When resting at night, Xie Che went to find Yuzhu, "Jiaojiao, you are pregnant, and the journey is so bumpy, why don't you rest in the mansion tomorrow, and I will take someone there." Search in the mountains."

Yuzhu was worried, "Brother Xie, I'm fine. You should have heard from the doctor just now that the fetus is healthy. I will go to the mountains with you tomorrow. Otherwise, I don't worry. I'm really worried that I've reached this point." That dream didn't have any follow-up, she only knew that both Shen Xian and Kong Yiqing were injured and trapped in the ruined temple, she didn't know what happened to them, she couldn't rest assured if she didn't find them herself.

Xie Che knew that she was really worried, so he didn't try to persuade her anymore, and only wanted to take care of her more tomorrow.

Early the next morning, before they left, Zhixi suddenly came to them with a letter in his hands, with an anxious expression on his face, "Sister-in-law, Brother Xie, look, this is a letter from Feige who came from the capital early in the morning."

Xie Che took a look at the letter. It said that there was a change in the capital, and the people who rebelled were Concubine Mu and the Third Prince. They took control of the harem with General Qiu Teng of Longwuwei and General Yubayashi Qianniu of the guards. They also said that the Zuo family had rebelled. I'm afraid that the left governor of Lizhou will lead the troops to Beijing.

The news came from a letter from Fei Ge, the grand master of the court.

Kong Zhixi said with a pale face, "The Zuo Dudu did lead the army out of Lizhou yesterday."

With a solemn expression, Xie Che put the letter away, and said, "It's not too late, I'll find someone to return to Beijing as soon as possible."

The emperor and the harem concubines and masters have all been taken down, and things are imminent.Fortunately, when they left, they handed over the Tiger Talisman to Jiang Ansu. There must be soldiers guarding outside the city, and the city gate could not be opened. Concubine Mu Gui and the third prince in the palace would not dare to act rashly.

Yuzhu murmured, "It's actually them." She knew very well how well the emperor treated Concubine Mu Gui and the third prince.

The soldiers guarding the Shemen Gate must not be easily dispatched back to the capital. Xie Che has no talent as a general, so everything can only be said after finding Shen Xian.

Xie Che and Yuzhu took dozens of people to the mountain with the old Orion. The old Orion didn't know what happened. He thought that his relatives got lost in the mountain and needed to be busy looking for them.

After walking two hours into the deep mountain, the ancient trees are towering, and those who don't understand the terrain feel dizzy. Then the old hunter said, "You must be confused. In fact, you have walked too much. There is nothing wrong with this mountain or outside. It's different, don't worry, you will soon reach the ruined temple, there is a place where us old hunters live temporarily when we go hunting big things in the mountains, there is no shortage of food and drink, and there are one or two beds Futons, don't worry too much."

Yuzhu said, "Thank you, old man."

After walking for another half an hour, I finally came to the ruined temple.

Let’s say that after Shen Xian brought Jin Yiwei to Lizhou, he searched for the traces and found out that he had fallen into a trap. He found someone in Mount Jiuhua, but was also stopped by the Tupu people. There were hundreds of people on the other side, and he only brought a dozen of them with him. Jin Yiwei, now he has defeated so many people, a dozen Jin Yiwei are all folded here, he broke through the siege, and fled with Kong Yiqing to the vicinity of the Maple Leaf Forest in Mount Jiuhua, and was caught up. Injured, he tried his best to escape, went deep into the mountains, and found a ruined temple to stay.

Kong Yiqing was seriously injured, and his shoulder was also seriously injured, so he could only temporarily stay in the ruined temple for two days.
