Lu Shiqing said, "I'll talk about it in a few days" and left, saying that he was leaving the mansion and returned at noon.
Yuan Cixian curled her lips at him, climbed off the bed, and smelled a fragrant fragrance of rice dumplings under her belly. She remembered that today was the Dragon Boat Festival, so she hurriedly ordered her servants to send some rice dumplings to Yuan Mansion for her to eat, and then went to the courtyard to pay tribute to Xuan. Lu Shuangyu was also there, and excitedly asked her if she wanted to go to the Qujiang River to watch the dragon boat race.
When she was young, she liked to catch such a crowded and bustling scene, but now she feels tired. In addition, she didn't have a good rest last night and was really tired of running around, so she politely declined her.
Xuan also said to his daughter: "Today, the Dragon Boat Festival banquet was held in the palace, and your brother refused to even the invitation from the saint, just to spend the holiday with your sister-in-law. You are fine, you don't have any vision."
Lu Shuangyu had no choice but to squint her mouth and silently asked her friends in Beijing to go to Qujiang to play.
Yuan Cixian was talking to Xuan in the yard. When Lu Shiqing was about noon, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, afraid that something would happen to Cai He.
Xuan saw her talking to her, but his eyes glanced out from time to time. He was extremely clear and asked a servant to look at the door of the mansion to see when Lu Shiqing would come back.
Yuan Cixian smiled embarrassedly, and had to let her misunderstand that she was causing Xiangsi. After all, Lu Shiqing didn't tell her a mother in the court that she had done anything, so she naturally had to take care of him.
It was time to have lunch, but the servant replied that Lu Shiqing had returned, but he didn't enter the mansion and asked Yuan Cixian to go out.
She went outside in confusion, lifted the curtain and entered the carriage parked in front of the door. When she went in, she heard Lu Shiqing explain: "I won't come back for meals, you can accompany my mother."
She was surprised: "If I don't come back for meals, why are you still going to do this trip?"
Lu Shiqing told her that she would go back at noon before leaving in the morning and didn't want to break her trust, so she made a special trip back. However, she didn't admit it and said, "I'll just pass by, you go back, I still have to do my business."
Yuan Cixian saw his calm and composed look, thinking that the matter was handled smoothly, so she didn't ask much, and just went down and asked: "What are you going to eat for lunch? I'll give you some rice dumplings?"
He shook his head and said, "I'll go to the West Market to eat."
When Yuan Cixian heard this, the person who had already stood up sat back and said, "Don't you not need food outside?"
Last year, when he went to Xishi City with her, he sat down and watched her eat two big bowls of wontons, and threw the Hu cake she gave him directly on the roadside.
Lu Shiqing found that she was really concerned about people and was very sticky. She was happy and said lightly: "I'm just dealing with a few officials."
Unexpectedly, when she heard this, she turned her eyebrows: "Are you going to Hu Ji's Restaurant?"
Lu Shiqing choked.
Seeing him choked, Yuan Cixian knew that he was right. He had to drink some wine when talking to officials. As for going to the West Market, he would inevitably go to the restaurant where the beautiful orchid Dingling was spinning and jumping.
She immediately said unhappy: "What kind of place to choose to talk about? Don't you mind the other person's makeup falling into your wine cup? There is also the smell of spices in the room, and it will be cleaned after a while when you come back and wash it for an hour! Besides, those dancers who sit in your arms if they have a disagreement..."
Lu Shiqing trembled and made a "stop" gesture. He couldn't even listen to this kind of defiled scene. He wanted to bring his own wine utensils to deal with a few glasses, but when she said that, she got goosebumps and said, "It's not the place I chose, I will stay away from them."
Yuan Cixian looked at him disgustedly, said "Okay", got up and was about to leave, but hesitated for a moment, suddenly turned around and grabbed his arm and said, "Why do I go with you."
Lu Shiqing's mouth twitched slightly: "Who have you ever seen who has a regular house in that kind of place?"
“…”
Very angry.
Yuan Cixian glared at him with resentment, gritted her teeth and left without looking back. After lunch with Xuan, she felt very itchy. She couldn't help but ask Shi Cui to dress her up, and then took Zhuzhi to the west city of Chang'an.
There are more than one Hu Ji restaurant in the west city, but there are not many officials who can be called Lu Shiqing and cannot refuse. If you count up, you will only have those senior officials, so you must be the most luxurious place.
Yuan Cixian asked Zhuzhi to pick two families and then found out.
As the name suggests, this Hu Ji wine shop is a tavern opened by Hu people outside the region. It has a mixture of colors and colors, five strings of guzheng and music, and the dancers who serve the wine are graceful and charming.
Yuan Cixian dressed up in men's clothes. As soon as she entered the room, she received a warm reception from the Dr. Dr. Wine, and asked her where she sat. She glanced at the second floor wing where Lu Shiqing was and pointed at him next door.
Picking the branch and following her up to the second floor, when she entered the compartment, closed the door, and saw that she opened the window that was not facing the street to communicate with the next door, and then pressed her ears tightly against the wall, as if listening to the movements on the other end of Lu Shiqing.
Unfortunately, the wall was too thick and the music next door was too loud. Yuan Cixian couldn't tell the sound of speaking clearly, and only vaguely heard waves of low laughter.
She turned to the window ridge and looked over there, sighing without getting anything. She couldn't hear or see what she was doing.
Just as she was about to look for another way to peek, she suddenly heard a sound of wheels rolling from under the window. The driver seemed to be whipping his whip and said in a panic: "You must hold on!"
Yuan Cixian was slightly stunned when she heard this familiar voice and voice, and looked down.
This is an alley that is not facing the street, and usually only common people in common will pass here. However, the carriage galloping towards this direction has exquisite carvings and wide shapes, which are obviously from wealthy families.
She subconsciously felt strange and began to recall the sounds and colors she had heard of inexplicably. She suddenly raised her head with a sharp turn.
It's in a dream.
There was a dream earlier, and she heard Zheng Zhuo's subordinates salvaged her body on the bridge.
This coachman is from the Prince's Mansion. In other words, the person in the car is probably Zheng Zhuo.
What did she just hear? Hold on?
Her eyes flashed for a moment, and when the carriage was about to pass through her window, she turned around and quickly picked up an empty jade cup and threw it down.
The coachman was also very quick to react. Seeing something from outside, he tied the reins with one hand and raised the other hand, subconsciously pinched the jade cup in his hand.
In this way, the young man who was driving the car followed the direction of this "hidden weapon" and saw Yuan Cixian.
He narrowed his eyes first, and when he saw Yuan Cixian's face clearly, he was shocked and seemed to have found a savior.
Seeing his expression changing, Yuan Cixian thought that something happened to Zheng Zhuo, so he raised his chin and hurried downstairs to the alley.
The young man was Zheng Zhuo's confidant Chen Zhan. He was waiting for her below. When he saw her about to speak, he was stopped by her eyes.
She glanced at the branches and signaled her to guard the alley. Then she looked at Chen Zhan and pointed at the closed window in the wing where Lu Shiqing was, implying that there was someone above that it was not appropriate to talk about it. Then she quietly lifted the curtain into it.
Chen Zhan understood what she meant, and after she sat down, she quickly raised her whip and continued to rush to the alley.
Yuan Cixian was really shocked by the scene in the car.
It was dirty and messy inside, the medicine box was overturned on one side, and the gauze was scattered all over the floor. Zheng Zhuo bent his legs and lay on the side of his couch, almost half of his body was bleeding, and fresh blood was flowing out from his waist and abdomen that was tightly covered by his hands.
She looked tight, and hurriedly stepped forward, squatted down in front of the couch, frowned and said, "Your Highness, are you?"
Zheng Zhuo's face was bloodless and his mind seemed to be not very clear. He tried hard to open his eyelids, but he didn't know if he recognized her. Instead, he closed his eyes tiredly. The hand that was originally pressing on his waist and abdomen was unable to hang down and lost his will.
Seeing this, Yuan Cixian looked around for a few times, calmed down, picked up the gauze scattered all over the floor, gritted her teeth and pressed the wound for him with one hand, and picked up a pair of scissors to cut his robe with the other, while thinking quickly.
It was not a vital point to see the location of the injury, but the loss of blood was enough to take a person's life. Chen Zhan could not have known this, but did not deal with Zheng Zhuo in time, nor did he send him back to his house immediately. Instead, he rushed here, which must be to avoid the enemy behind him.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, at the foot of the emperor, it is difficult for those who want to put Zheng Zhuo to death to take action openly. Chasing him is to delay the time. Because this is enough to make him lose too much blood.
Yuan Cixian quickly cut off his robe, stared at the inch-deep slanted bayonet wound on his waist and abdomen, and quickly picked up gauze to stop the bleeding and wrap it on his wound.
Outside, Chen Zhancha stopped the carriage at this moment.
He lifted the curtain and said anxiously: "Mr. County Lord, you've reached a dead end."
Yuan Cixian kept moving his hands and said without looking back: "Stop here first and tell me what's going on?"
Seeing this, Chen Zhan took the whip and went up to take the work in her hands: "Please trouble the county lord, come on, villain." While explaining, "On the Dragon Boat Festival today, Your Highness and the Second His Highness went to Qujiang to watch the dragon boat race. Because there were so many people on the riverside, the villain was crowded on the outside. In the chaos, he didn't know what happened before. Suddenly, he heard screams from all sides, and then he saw that both of his Highnesses were hit by the knife."
Yuan Cixian had already retreated to the back and wiped the blood on her hands. He smiled in disbelief when he heard this: "You two high men are both martial artists, can you still be injured by such a hidden sword?"
"The villain doesn't understand."
"Who is you chasing along the way?"
Chen Zhan explained: "Today, both Your Highnesses were traveling in a submissive manner, each with only one follower. At that time, the guard of Your Highness urgently helped him into the carriage and did not have time to turn back to take care of Your Highness. The villain did not pay attention to Your Highness, but only carried Your Highness all the way out. When he was about to treat his wounds, he found an ambush around him, so he did not dare to stop for too long and drove away. Unexpectedly, he was chased by him tightly."
"Then why didn't you send Your Highness back to your mansion, but instead came to Xishi?" Yuan Cixian continued to ask.
"It was the explanation from Your Highness. Before getting on the carriage, Your Highness said four words in my ear: Hu Ji Restaurant."
Yuan Cixian frowned, and saw that he had already bandaged Zheng Zhuo's wounds, so he ordered: "I'll look at Your Highness for you, go and get me the clothes of a beard."
Chen Zhan didn't dare to ask too much, so he hurriedly went to do it.
Yuan Cixian sat in the car and waited for a while, thinking.
Zheng Zhuo probably knew that Lu Shiqing was having a drink at Hu Ji’s restaurant at this time, but he must not be coming to him, but to those officials. For some reason, he hoped that these people who were in court would be asked to see him being assassinated and injured with their own eyes.
But Chen Zhan was in a hurry and knew only a little about his instructions. Yuan Cixian didn't know about it just now, so she asked the carriage to leave the restaurant. At the moment, she did not dare to act rashly, and it would be best to notify Lu Shiqing to make a decision.
But she is not suitable to appear in the restaurant openly, so as not to doubt her treatment of Zheng Zhuo. It is best to dress up as a beard and cover her face.
In Yuan Cixian's mind, a scene of himself spinning and jumping into Lu Shiqing's arms and then perfectly delivering the message.
Although she said a lot of bad things about Hu Ji at noon, he shouldn't have recognized her. In order to protect her, she threw her to the ground, right?
