royal girl

Chapter 70 A Thousand Miles of Light and Shadow 3
When Jiang Qing and Mrs. Dong got the news and rushed over, the fire in the grass nest had almost burned out, leaving only a faint light.The grass nest is not too big, with a teapot-shaped mouth and a small belly, but it is still a bit crowded with five people inside, especially the lifeless guard who tripped Xueqi in the middle, taking up quite a lot of ground.

Rescued their group and rushed back to the station, it was almost dawn.

Huiyu lay on the bed in a daze, covered with two thick quilts, and the brazier was still lit in the room. She felt as if she was alive again after her whole body was warmed up.

The girls Xueqi and Xueying were also terribly cold, and Mrs. Dong had asked them to rest.Looking at her daughter who had regained her breath on the bed, Mrs. Dong Er's face was particularly ugly.

Huiyu carefully glanced at the face of her mother-in-law's stepmother, pulled her sleeves carefully, and said in a soft voice: "Daughter knows it's wrong, mother, don't be angry. I'm not worried about you, I'm here I can't sit here anymore, do you think I'm not a blind cat and a dead mouse, did I really find the fourth prince?"

Seeing her daughter's big eyes filled with uneasiness, Mrs. Dong's heart softened, but she still said with a straight face: "In my mother's heart, no one is as important as you. How can you worry about your own safety and worry me? If something like this happens again in the future, see if I will forgive you."

Huiyu gently rubbed her head against Mrs. Dong's shoulder, her eyes were slightly red. At least Mrs. Dong really loved her daughter, and she could feel this warmth, such a real existence.

"I know." Huiyu replied softly, "Mother loves me the most."

Mrs. Dong Er touched the top of Huiyu's head, smiled a little, and then said: "I only have you two, and you are all I have."

Huiyu was stunned. Her mother had too many things to do in her previous life. Not only was she a mother, but there were more things worthy of her attention and management. Children were only a part of her world.But...not now.

Huiyu smiled lightly.

After a while, Huiyu asked, "Is the injury of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince serious?"

"Isn't it just that my arm was broken, my leg fell, and I was alive and kicking after a few days of care. Such an injury would be a trivial matter on the battlefield." Second Madam Dong said indifferently, if it wasn't for the fourth prince and her daughter There is no need to be frightened and fall into the grass nest without being frozen and overturned.In short, Second Madam Dong didn't have the slightest impression of the fourth prince, it was terrible.

Huiyu was embarrassed when she heard Mrs. Dong's answer.A prince who was raised by Jin Zunyugui, his arms were broken, and his leg was injured by her. This level of disability is already very serious, but in her mother's opinion, she probably isn't her own child, so how can she have the time to go? Just ignore him, it would be nice if you don't blame him for being tired.

Knowing that she couldn't get anything out of her mother, she waited until Er Madam Dong was coaxed away by good words to go to rest, then she called the two maids who had come back to work and asked them carefully.

"Your Highness is so pitiful. I heard from the doctor who came to Gugu that his arm fell quite badly, and it will take a few months to recover. The injury on his leg is not very serious, but he can't get out of bed for three or two days." Xue Qi immediately replied, watching Huiyu lower her voice when she said this, "The man who tripped the servant was still breathing when we fell, and when the servant was still listening to me falling on him, he hummed." Twice, but it's a pity that it disappeared before I got back to the station. And... and the slaves heard the servants who buried people mutter, saying that the dead guard didn't fall to his death, and there was blood on his chest like Got stabbed by something."

The more Xueqi said Yue was a little scared, and she didn't dare to say it anymore.

Xueying hurriedly poured Huiyu a bowl of hot tea, changed the subject and said, "This is all about the fourth prince's affairs and has nothing to do with us, but girl, the snow on the mountain has slipped down and the road is blocked again. We won't be able to leave in the last few days. I'm afraid we'll have to stay here for a few more days, and we don't know when the weather will clear up."

Xueying thinks that this place is not too auspicious, and leaving as soon as possible is the right thing to do.

Huiyu didn't care, but Xueqi's last few words still made Huiyu feel an unusual and dangerous atmosphere.If the bodyguard really had a wound, it means that Ji Qiyu's accident was not an accident at all, but a premeditated murder!

I thought this way in my heart, but I didn't say it out of my mouth. I just said to Xueqi: "After all, the fourth prince's leg injury has something to do with me. You ask Zhong Daxin to come and greet me. We have any medicinal materials here. Just take it.” At this time, it’s good to have a good impression, no matter how these sons and daughters can be offended or not, after all, they have an innate blood relationship advantage.

Zhong Daxin left immediately when he got an errand, and came back soon, and replied through the door curtain, "The Fourth Highness said that he thanked the girl for her concern, and will thank you for saving your life when the injury is better. And send greetings to the girl and madam."

It was only then that Huiyu remembered that she seemed to have saved Ji Qiyu's life. Previously, her focus had been on her injuries. Now that she thought about it, she might have hit her by mistake. Ji Qiyu might not be discovered when .This kind of life-saving grace made Huiyu feel very happy, but he also injured his leg, hey, it was offset by this, and he was busy for a long time.

The next two days were peaceful, and because of this incident, Yi Cheng was extraordinarily attentive these two days, fearing that there would be any accidents to the nobles living in the two small courtyards, he wished he could keep an eye on them all the time.The Second Madam Dong kept seeing that Huiyu was fine, so she agreed to let her stay, and kept saying, "Thanks to your luck, you didn't get cold or something. If you really get sick in such a place But it's going to kill you."

"It's called auspicious people have their own appearance, mother, don't nag me, I'll remember it." Huiyu hurriedly begged for mercy.

Mrs. Dong gave her a blank look before she stopped talking, and turned to talk about other things, "I have already sent a letter to your grandfather, and told him that we are expected to arrive a few days later due to wind and snow blocking the road."

"This is what it should be, lest my grandfather worry about it." Huiyu said hastily, "Did you mention His Highness in your letter?"

Mrs. Dong Er rolled her eyes in an inelegant manner, "Why are you mentioning him? He is on official business, so there will be official documents for your grandfather."

Huiyu knew that Mrs. Dong had a lot of resentment towards Ji Qiyu because of this matter, so after thinking about it, she persuaded: "Mother, you should know about the fourth prince's guards, right?"

Mrs. Dong Er pursed her lips and said nothing. When Huiyu saw that her mother knew about it, she immediately said: "Daughter thinks you should tell your grandfather about such things. There is still some distance from the border. If there is another person on the way What an accident, won't we be implicated again when we go with him? Not for him, but for ourselves, we should be more careful."

When a killer comes to kill, he will naturally silence him.Huiyu and the others were obviously among those who were silenced along with the Fourth Prince.

It's sad.

"Yes, why didn't I think of this?" Second Madam Dong didn't care about getting angry, she stood up immediately and said, "I'm going to write another one, it's really bad luck, I came out properly and encountered so many bad things."

Huiyu sent away Second Madam Dong with a smile all over her face, feeling that she should go to greet her because she hurt her leg, so she said to Xueying, "Go to the next yard and ask, the fourth prince is now Is it convenient to meet guests?"

"Girl, do you want to go there?" Xueying asked hurriedly, probably Madam would not be happy.

Huiyu nodded, "After all, I crushed his leg. It's okay for me to stay in bed before, but if I don't go now, I will definitely be blamed."

Xueying thought about it too, "Then servant girl, go ask." After saying that, she withdrew.

Huiyu asked Xueqi to prepare some medicinal materials and other gifts, and she couldn't go there empty-handed. Although this place is relatively shabby, there are still etiquettes that cannot be ignored.

Soon Xueying came back, and said to Huiyu, "The fourth prince is awake and said he is free."

Huiyu was a little disappointed. It was good that the other party was not available. She left the gift and came back, relaxed and stress-free.Since he was free, he had no choice but to visit the door in person.So I asked Xueqi to bring her cloak, kicked a hand warmer in her hand, and took the two girls with her. After thinking about it, she asked Bingrui to pack a box of newly baked dim sum and carry it with her, and then went to talk to Dong next door. The second lady complained, her mother's complexion was very ugly, after thinking about it she said: "Wait for me for a while, our mother and I will go over together."

Although the daughter is still young, there can't be any gossip, only an elder follows her.I don't know how many people from the royal family are staring at it with jealousy, wishing they could put their daughter in it.But she doesn't think there is anything good about the royal family. It's just that there are two concubines who can get on the imperial jade certificate, not counting the concubines who have no status to serve. Coax, her daughter doesn't have to bend down to be a slave to the son of the royal family for a lifetime. Even if she is a concubine, she still has to look at the man's face. When the young couple quarrels, the mother's family doesn't dare to reprimand the son-in-law. The daughter married is decent. Yes, but it's time to suffer when the face is bright.

So the Second Madam Dong basically put Ji Qiyu on like a wolf guard, and when she heard that her daughter was going to visit, she stopped writing the letter, changed her clothes and took her there in person.

When Jiang Qing greeted her with a smile, she was taken aback when she saw Mrs. Dong Er standing beside Huiyu, but she quickly came back to her senses and said with a smile: "I have seen Mrs. Dong, and we have seen Mrs. Dong Er. Your Highness welcomes you."

Mrs. Dong Er nodded, "I'm sorry." After speaking, she took Huiyu and walked in. The conditions of the inn were not good. Even the yard where Ji Qiyu lived was actually a bit crude, no worse than Huiyu's mother and daughter. How much better can live.There was a brazier burning in the room, and on the big couch by the window, Ji Qiyu was dressed in a green shirt with her hair standing up high, her injured arm was fixed with a splint, wrapped in a white cloth, she looked rather pitiful.Leaning lightly on the soft pillow behind her, she didn't show any surprise when she saw Mrs. Dong bringing Huiyu in, and sat there calmly.

"The courtier's wife sees Your Highness."

"The courtier has met His Highness."

After the mother and daughter saluted in a proper manner, the corners of Jiang Qing's mouth twitched, which was too formal.There is no need to be so serious when you are away from home, ha ha.

"Madam is polite, please sit down, both of you." Ji Qiyu said lightly.

Since she is here to visit a doctor, is Mrs. Dong Er stupid? Of course she won't keep a straight face. At this time, she has a just right smile on her face and said in a slightly serious tone: "Your Highness was recuperating before, our mother The girl didn't dare to disturb her easily, I don't know if His Highness's health is better? Before the little girl accidentally hurt His Highness, please His Highness forgive me."

"My Madam's words are wrong. It is because your Majesty saved my Highness's life. How can I ask the crime? I haven't thanked Madam and Miss for helping each other in the cold wind and snow. If it weren't for the help of the two, my Highness may not be here now. If you are safe and sound, this matter will definitely be reported to the emperor after you return to Beijing, and the credits of Madam and Miss will not be wasted."

"Your Highness is blessed with profound blessings. With God's blessing, nothing will happen to me. The little girl is just a mistake, and it is not a kindness. Your Highness is serious." Mrs. Dong is not the kind of high-ranking and condescending person who listened to Ji Qiyu's words. , the anger in his heart eased a little, and the expression on his face became a little relaxed.And although she spoke very seriously in front of her daughter, she couldn't bring it out when communicating with others. After all, isn't it something only fools can do to offend the royal family?
Being able to smooth things over is much more satisfactory than making enemies.

"I don't have any good things when I go out, but I bring some warming and tonic herbs with me." Mrs. Dong said with a smile, and looked at the food box in Xueying's hand after a slight pause, and then said: "This is Some snacks made by the servants are not bad, I hope His Highness will not dislike them."

Ji Qiyu's eyes fell on the food box, Jiang Qing immediately stepped forward to take it and put it on the table in front of the fourth prince, and reached out to open the hollow carved peony flower cover. What I got was a bowl of tender pea yellow, sprinkled with a layer of icing sugar, and ordered rose marinade, which looked really good.Jiang Qing felt his stomach growling.Bring out the small bowl, and open the second layer to find a small plate of dim sum. The dim sum is an ordinary red bean cake, but the plate for the dim sum is a bucket-colored narcissus ganoderma plate. The porcelain is fine, transparent and shiny. The pattern drawn in colors can be seen at a glance that it was fired in a famous kiln.The third layer is a bowl of bean curd that is still steaming. It can be seen at a glance that this bowl and the plate were fired in the same kiln. There are several inch-sized plates with various seasonings placed around them. With a bowl of Bai Shengsheng's tofu curd, even people like Ji Qiyu feel a little hungry.

Under Huiyu's mother and daughter's slightly surprised gaze, Ji Qiyu picked up the bowl of bean curd, sprinkled with marinated red diced carrots, fried browned peanuts, green chives, and fragrant sesame oil, and finally Added a little garlic juice, picked up the spoon and took a bite, nodded and said: "I have heard that the second girl is very knowledgeable about food, and seeing her today really deserves her reputation."

To put it bluntly, you can get it as soon as you eat it, and you can also drag the text, cut it!
"Your Highness's award is just for playing around when you have nothing to do." Huiyu said modestly.

"Food is the most important thing for the people. This hobby is very good."

"Hehe." Huiyu didn't know what to say except for a smirk, everyone has raised you to such a height, it's hard to talk to.

Ji Qiyu ate a bowl of bean curd, then finished off the pea yellow, and finally ate half of the plate of snacks, Jiang Qing's eyes were about to pop out.Huiyu looked at whether she hadn't eaten for three days or something, and Mrs. Dong's eyes flickered slightly. She lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking. She always had a bad feeling.

Ji Qiyu ate and drank enough, and then rarely showed a smile with a more obvious curvature.It is said that a handsome man who doesn't like to laugh, a smile is enough to captivate the city. Sure enough, Huiyu was shocked by this rare beauty. Hearing Ji Qiyu, she seemed to say something to herself and didn't understand clearly, but she subconsciously nodded.

Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu and nodded, and said very satisfied: "From now on, I will have to bother Madam and Second Young Lady, please stop bothering me."

What are you bothering about?Huiyu didn't understand, so she turned to look at her mother.Seeing Second Madam Dong glaring at her with an unsightly expression, Huiyu touched her nose, thought for a while and then her face turned dark.I was actually bewildered by masculinity, so I agreed to Ji Qiyu to prepare three meals a day for him?

It's shameless to confuse people with color!

After Huiyu went back, she yelled at Second Madam Dong angrily.

Mrs. Dong Er looked at Huiyu with some reluctance and said angrily: "You are worthless, people just smiled at you, you have lost your soul, and I didn't have time to refuse, so you agreed, what will happen now?" What is the son complaining about? Yes!"

Huiyu burst into tears. She hasn't been away from the Internet world for too long, and she hasn't been attacked by beautiful men with no dead ends in PS on the Internet. A smile, almost blinding eyes, did he fool himself with a daze?
Seeing Huiyu bowing her head and drooping her eyes in an extremely depressed state, Mrs. Dong couldn't bear it anymore, "Okay, okay, isn't it just three meals? What's the big deal, just use your own cook for a few days " Speaking of the meal here, "Actually, the food in this post station is really too rough."

Huiyu: ...

In fact, you yourself have softened your heart, and you still come to scold me, how unfair!
Sending a box of food originally wanted to express a beautiful kindness, but unexpectedly, Dong Huiyu's children's shoes, who were instantly killed by Ji Qiyu with a smile, tricked her own cook into it.Fortunately, Bingrui is a capable person, and she doesn't feel tired from eating for one more person.

But Huiyu soon realized that something was wrong.

On the first day, what to send here and what to eat there are very cooperative.

The next day, this guy started to order food unceremoniously, feeling fatter.

On the third day, I even started to order dessert after dinner, it was too much!

The direct result of Ji Qiyu's ordering is that Bingrui has no more time to satisfy Huiyu's appetite, and all the time outside of dinner is taken up by Ji Qiyu.

fall!
Huiyu went directly to the door to accuse Ji Qiyu of his domineering behavior. Who knew that Ji Qiyu was just pretending to be pitiful, sighing casually, and that sullen handsome face knocked off half of Huiyu's fighting power first. .Then he sacrificed the half-disabled arm that was still helping the splint, and said quietly, now he is not good at walking, and only delicious food can soothe his injured little heart when he is nestled in the house, Huiyu's remaining general fighting power is also weak And flew away.

Return in defeat.

Huiyu looked up to the sky and sighed, a beautiful man pretending to be sad or something is so lethal, just looking at that face is enough.

Jiang Qing looked at his master setting up the chess game, eating snacks, drinking the tea made by the second girl's maid, and played the broken chess game of Master Wen again very leisurely, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.Why didn't he realize before that the master of his family still had such a shameless act of killing everyone with his face.

Sure enough, after leaving the depressing environment in Kyoto, the master's relaxation is a bit abnormal.

Is it really good to do this?
Huiyu plucked up the courage to come to the door for the second time, and decided not to let her welfare continue to be lost. Just before she entered the door, she heard Ji Qiyu say, "You came just in time to end this mess."

Huiyu casually glanced at the chessboard on the table, couldn't help being taken aback, and blurted out, "Have you heard about the endgame of Master?"

The chess pieces in Ji Qiyu's hands paused, and she raised her head to look at Huiyu, "Do you still remember?"

Hehe, how could she forget.But when Ji Qiyu didn't let go of the beautiful man's killing plan, Huiyu was basically quite normal.The reaction of the brain was also extremely sharp, so he nodded, "How can I not remember? I went to Guo'an Temple to take a look at this mess."

Huiyu also wanted to see if Ji Qiyu could untie it, and instantly forgot the purpose of her coming, walked over quickly, sat opposite to Ji Qiyu, watching the movement on the chessboard, and raised her head after a while, frowning Said: "I have entered a dead end, how can I solve this game?"

Ji Qiyu played chess with himself, just like two people who know each other and know each other.Playing chess is naturally merciless, so this chess game has become extraordinarily difficult and weird, all ways of life are blocked, and it is really a technical job to continue playing.

Huiyu picked up the white piece casually and dropped it on one place, and when it was about to reach the chessboard, he took it back and shook his head lightly. It was obvious that Huiyu didn't like this move very much.

Every step was taken very slowly. Second Mrs. Dong in the courtyard next door heard that Huiyu was playing chess with Ji Qiyu, and angrily slapped the table, "This person who doesn't have a long memory, why did he go over there again?"

Xueying didn't dare to answer, so she just stood there with her head down and pretended to be dead.

Mrs. Dong covered her head, and said, "Yun Hu, go and ask Yicheng when the road will be open." If this delay continues, my daughter might be abducted.Although Huiyu is headstrong, he is kind-hearted in nature. A prince like Ji Qiyu who grew up in a place like the palace has deep thoughts and unpredictable cunning. His own daughter is no match for him.Let's get on the road quickly, let's go our own way, it's too bad.

"The servant has asked, and we will be able to leave in two or three days. Yicheng said that there has been no snow in these two days, and it will be faster when the weather clears up." Yun Hu hurried back and replied.

The Second Madam Dong breathed a sigh of relief, there are still two or three days left, she can bear it!
The two played a game of chess for several days without being able to tell the winner. Originally, the endgame set by Master Liao Wen was already very difficult, but Ji Qiyu's extreme moves changed it into another situation.The two went down until the main road was opened, but they couldn't come up with a result.

It wasn't until he was on the road that Huiyu suddenly realized that he was going to discuss a fair matter with Ji Qiyu, but he was dragging him to play chess for several days, and his face turned black.The enemy is too cunning, not only using masculinity to attack, but also assisting side attack in chess skills, he was fooled without checking for a while, Huiyu said he couldn't accept it, and hid in the carriage and pretended to be dead.

Sitting in the carriage, Ji Qiyu recalled that neither Mrs. Dong nor Dong Huiyu had mentioned the guard who was killed by them in the past few days, so they didn't want to get involved at all.For such a big event as the prince being attacked, no one would be curious, but they were able to resist it.After all, Mrs. Dong has seen a lot of things when she is old, but Dong Huiyu... such age determination is very rare.

The second room of the Dong family... Hehe, it really is quite different from the rumors.

The road was opened, and Yicheng happily sent off the two big Buddhas, and finally he was able to breathe a sigh of relief and sleep well.

After only walking for a day, they ran into someone sent by the Marquis of Bei'an to greet him. The person who came was none other than Huiyu's own brother Dong Yunji.

Second Madam Dong saw her son's eyes were red, Huiyu took her brother's hand and looked at him carefully. The mother and daughter were so excited that Ji Qiyu was forgotten.It was Dong Yunji who remembered this, and hurried forward to salute and say hello, "Greetings to Your Highness, the general ordered the villain to come to greet His Highness, and Yun Ji asked His Highness to forgive me for being late."

Ji Qiyu personally stepped forward to help Dong Yunji up, and said in a very friendly manner: "The troublesome general worried about disturbing his innocence. I heard that a spy from the enemy army was captured alive a few days ago, and you were the one who captured him, right? But it did a great job!"

Dong Yunji was taken aback in his heart, this matter has not been reported to the court, how could the fourth prince know about it?
