When Li Jing's car stopped in front, Sun Sheng naturally woke up, looked forward with red eyes, and ordered someone to ask what happened.
Not long after, news came that Princess Yongning was feeling unwell, as if she had contracted a cold. His Majesty stopped driving and wanted to ask a medical officer for diagnosis and treatment. Sun Sheng felt relieved. As long as rebels didn't suddenly appear, it would be no big deal.
Princess Yongning is weak and she will definitely not be able to bear the bumps along the way. Sun Sheng thought about it and originally wanted to let the princess sit in his luxurious car, but because he didn't do it at the beginning, it would be easy to get into trouble if he said it now, so he simply ignored it.
But Han Xizai was very anxious after receiving the news. Having walked beside Li Jing for many years, he naturally knew that the seventh princess was delicate. When he heard that she was suffering from cold, he immediately got out of the car in a hurry, holding the medicine bag that he brought with him. Going to meet him. However, he only walked a dozen steps forward on the muddy road, when a dozen soldiers from the imperial army galloped towards him on both sides. The dirty water kicked up by the horses' hooves stained Han Xizai's clothes.
"May I ask where Han Shangshu is going?" a general of the imperial army asked loudly.
Han Xizai frowned and said, "I heard that Princess Yongning suffered from cold. I happened to bring some medicine and wanted to give it to Her Royal Highness."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is a female family member. How dare you, a foreign minister, to pay her respects privately? Moreover, there are orders from above that you are not allowed to get out of the car and walk around at will. Please Han Shangshu get back to the car." The general said solemnly.
"What are you talking about? I just went to deliver medicine, and the team stopped here, not on the way. Even if I get in the car and walk away, it's nothing." Han Xizai scolded with a frown.
"That's an order from below. Du Chengdao is angry with you. You are just executing the military order."
"The order from below? Your Majesty's imperial edict? Or the military order from Zu Weiwei? I'll go and ask." Han Xizai said angrily.
Restricting movement is equivalent to house arrest, which is a safe signal. For a moment, the idea of running away flashed in Han Xizai's mind, but I knew that if Datong was really put under house arrest by those soldiers, he would run away or escape, and he would have to act with caution.
Several Dianzhi Army soldiers approached on horseback. One of the soldiers raised his hands and said with a smile: "Du Chengdao, please get back to the car and wait quietly. I want to make it difficult for you to wait."
Han Xizai breathed a sigh of relief, changed his smile and nodded: "It's not bad, since they are also considering the danger of driving, I can understand it. Then get back to the car, and he will wait for the hard work and hand over the medicine bag to me. Give the princess a dose of medicine to reduce her condition."
"Yes, stay. The order below is for everyone to leave the car. Du Chengdao is also asked to get back to the car quickly." The general shouted warmly.
"It's very bad, so I worked hard for him. What's his name? I'll ask Prime Minister Sun to punish him later." Han Xizai said with a smile.
Han Xizai hurriedly closed the car curtain and stared at the sleeping lady next to him, breathing in the darkness. There was actually nothing in the handkerchief, and there was no writing on it. It was not a white handkerchief at all. Han Xizai just wanted to know if he could convey the message to Yongning in that way, but now it seemed possible.
Han Xizai said angrily: "I only want to deliver medicine to the princess palace, why are they blocking me? Is this really unreasonable?"
"Where are you going, Du Chengdao? Your car can be in front." The general said.
Unknown things often make people more afraid.
"Du Chengdao, please don't embarrass you. If you let him go, are you not asking you to obey military orders? You will lose your head if you wait. Du Chengdao would be better off getting back in the car. Someone, please get off Du Chengdao." "The general said in a deep voice with a warm smile on his face.
"The great unity of Su Xue's family will eventually be revealed."
Han Xizai calmed his thoughts and thought for a moment before opening the car curtain, beckoning for the servant who was accompanying the car, folding a large handkerchief and handing it to me, and loudly told me to quietly walk to the side of Yongning's car and say this The property was handed over to Yongning.
Beside Sun Sheng Princess Li Fangyi's car, dozens of soldiers followed closely, not even taking a step away for a moment. Han Shangshu rode up from the front, handed the medicine box in his hand to Zhou Yi, the prince of the palace, and said: "House Yu, the medicine bag presented by Du Chengdao is said to be used by the princess."
Suddenly, the keen Han Xizai realized the seriousness of the problem. The words that King Yan Li Hongji said to me flashed across my mind. The words that persuaded me to leave the capital quickly became very clear at this moment. At that time, I only wanted to Thinking about countering the rebellion, he never expected that the safety would be hidden in the holy chariot.
"The punishment is for daring. The general is just a big battalion commander. I'm afraid his name will offend the noble's ears. It's okay to say it. Han Shangshu and Du Chengdao will have no orders in the future. Just call you."
"I'm going to see how Prime Minister Sun is doing. Is that okay?" Han Xizai was really angry.
The situation behind his eyes was absolutely abnormal. Those palace commanders were always respectful and smiling when they saw him outside. But now, everyone is glaring and showing no mercy at all, which is not very weird anymore. Moreover, he, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, even lost the power to see the left prime minister. Ye Datong said that in fact, he and perhaps all officials have not been secretly isolated.
Originally, Han Xizai didn't mean to threaten me when he asked me my name, but Han Shangshu was cowardly and directly told Han Xizai my name and official position. The meaning of his words was that even if he comes to trouble you, I do care.
"In that case, you can deliver the medicine bag to the princess palace for Du Chengdao, but you must follow the military order and return to the car to wait. Please Du Chengdao to cooperate with your errand, so as not to make the little guy look bad." This general said in a deep voice.
After Han Xizai said something, he turned around and took his servant back to his car. He was annoyed and scared before closing the car curtain, and his heart was beating fast. I was vaguely aware that something small was about to happen, and I'm afraid it was aimed at us little ministers. After pausing for a moment, Han Xizai frowned and thought hard. I can definitely sit back and wait for death. Maybe I should find a way to inform Su Xue of this matter. Whether Yongning got in the car or not, I'm afraid it's still completely unknown.
Han Xizai was both disappointed and frightened. What exactly would be waiting for him and his ministers? Why did Dian Zhijun do that? Who gave the order? Your Majesty? Is Zu Chongen? Or is there someone else?
"Why should you give medicine to others? You can't even protect yourself." Zhou Yi muttered loudly.
The servant hurriedly nodded in agreement, picked it up and drove quickly towards Yongning's car behind him. Han Xizai was observing from the gap in the curtain, and saw that when the servant was about to walk beside Yongning's car, two palace guards stood up. The soldiers rode down and stopped the servant. A moment ago, the servant was forced to take out this handkerchief.
The car drove for a long time and Datong was rearing. There were not more than a hundred soldiers from the Imperial Army coming to the front of the convoy and escorting them on the left and right of the car. Apparently because of what he had just done, the Imperial Army had sent fewer soldiers and horses to guard it. Things were still going well. It's obviously not intentional.
Although Han Xizai was angry, he also felt that it was necessary to speak less to those soldiers. I handed the medicine bag to the general, turned around and drove towards Yongning's car. I thought about asking Yongning to come forward and teach the soldiers, both small and large. However, I only took a few steps before I was immediately blocked again. Two strong horses stepped in the mud and blocked my way.
Zhou Yi reached out to take it, looked over and over for a few times, and even unwrapped the medicine bag. He raised his hand, and the medicine bag flew out of the official road in an arc and landed in the wasteland beside the road.
