On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the atmosphere of the New Year has not passed yet, and everyone is still in a state of joy. Everyone puts down their chores and is busy visiting relatives and friends. For us, these days are the most rare leisure time of the year. day.
At dusk, the sky was dark, and a spectacular motorcade greeted the official road.
Twenty or so strong men in short attire rode handsome horses and lined up in front and back, with long swords at their waists, guarding the eight-liang carriage in the middle. The carriage moved forward slowly, and among the eight-liang, the leading carriage was the most magnificent. , the bright yellow side shoes were looming as he walked, the driver carefully drove the carriage forward, paying attention to the muddy road on the ground from time to time, for fear of bumping the people in the carriage, and he was sweating profusely after walking for a short distance.
Five or six servants, women and girls followed the carriage step by step, all of them silent, no one dared to make a loud noise, the air condensed here, and apart from the sound of footsteps and horse hooves, only the painful moans from the carriage could be heard from time to time.
And just these moans made everyone outside the carriage shiver in their hearts, and their backs felt cold. No matter how cold the weather was, or how cold the ground was, the coldness in their hearts could not freeze people.
Next to the carriage, a pretty girl dressed in Tsing Yi quietly raised her head and wanted to look inside through the curtains of the carriage. Her eyes were full of curiosity and inquiry, but she was firmly suppressed by a woman beside her.
The pretty girl pursed her lips to express her dissatisfaction. After receiving a warning look, she had no choice but to secretly listen to what was going on inside. After hearing the painful moans, the joy in her heart was greater than the worry and fear.
"Ayi, how are you? Can you still hold on? Why don't you stop?" There was a thick velvet blanket inside the carriage, and a young and handsome man in brocade clothes was holding a young woman in his arms. Only the woman could be seen. Her hands gently caressed her bulging belly, her face was pale and forbearing, and big beads of sweat slipped from her forehead. She was trying her best to endure it, and those painful moans were made when she couldn't bear it anymore.
Seeing this, the man in brocade clothes became even more anxious. He wanted to open his mouth to stop the carriage, but the woman named Linlang shook her head and refused: "Don't stop, I can still persist. I will continue on my way and return to Beijing as soon as possible. I don't know how my brother is doing." ?And father and mother?"
She was more concerned about her injured brother and elderly parents than her belly.
"But, you have your child?" The man in brocade clothes worriedly disagreed. This child was not easy to come by. They got a daughter a year after they got married, but they didn't have any children for the next three years. They were a loving and harmonious couple, and he was not anxious about having children, but this made the elders in the family anxious, and they gave him this family. The legitimate son arranged to marry his aunt, but it was only after two years of taking office that things were settled. Linlang got another happy event, and they were twins.
It was not easy for Linlang to be pregnant for eight months. He was about to give birth and he told her family to wait until she gave birth before returning home to visit him in order to prevent her from traveling all the way. However, the news that his wife's brother was seriously injured still set them on a journey. Return.
This journey has been such a hard work. If the child cannot be saved, it will be a lifelong regret for him.
"My parents-in-law and brother Che are under the care of the imperial physician. I think there will be no serious problems. Now that you are pregnant, you should rest in peace and rest."
"I know that your husband cares about me and the baby in my belly, but if I don't see that my brother is safe and sound, I will feel uneasy. I feel much better now, and with the doctor following me, I will be fine." Linlang comforted with a smile. , but this smile looked frighteningly pale.
The man in brocade is none other than Chang Qingchi, the eldest son of Zheng Guogong. His ancestor is the famous Chang Yuchun. Chang Yuchun followed Emperor Shengzu to conquer the country and establish the frontiers. He made unparalleled military exploits and was later granted the title of Duke. The coupons, hereditary succession, and glory have been followed to this day. They are the first-class wealthy families in the capital.
Compared with the decline of the Xu family, the Zhu family, the Lan family and other families of founding military generals, Chang Qingchi's grandfather chose to abandon martial arts and pursue literature, and made great achievements. Chang Qingchi was the leader of the younger generation of the Chang family. At the age of eighteen, he was ranked second in high school. He became famous at a young age and his future was limitless.
While serving in the capital, he had a political disagreement with Liu Ce and was dissatisfied with his tyrannical rule and his actions of forming cliques for personal gain. As a young and energetic man, he had many verbal conflicts with Liu Ce, which eventually led to his demotion.
It has been more than two years since he was demoted from the capital. Rather than worrying about his wife, he is more thoughtful about who is trying to murder his wife, Prince Luo, the crown prince. Now that the Holy Dragon is weak and the situation in the court is in chaos, he can turn this muddy water around once he returns. It's better to stir things up.
The woman in his arms is none other than Shen Jiayi, the eldest daughter of Prince Luo's palace, Princess Linlang, and the sister of Prince Luo's eldest son, Shen Che.
Prince Shen Che, the eldest son of Prince Luo, was assassinated on his way back from a palace banquet and was seriously injured and fell into coma.
When Shen Jiayi heard the bad news for the first time, she was so shocked that she fainted, so much so that she had fetal motility, and insisted on returning to Beijing despite being eight months pregnant and despite Chang Qingchi's various dissuasion.
When Shen Jiayi saw her husband looking worried, she couldn't help but tried to enlighten her: "These two little naughty boys are so naughty. They always kick me on the street. I screamed because I couldn't help it. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl."
"Whether it's a boy or a girl, I like them all." Chang Qingchi sighed while holding Shen Jiayi in his arms, hoping that it would be safe to spring and the boat trip would be smoother.
"Let the carriage go faster! It will be bad if you miss the station. I don't want to stay in a B&B." Shen Jiayi endured the abdominal pain and hurried on.
~~
At nightfall, a fast horse rode straight through Liujia Village towards the east of the bridge. The arrogant and urgent sound of horse hooves woke up the villagers who had already rested along the road. However, the people of Liujia Village were already used to it. To say that they used to live here all year round. There was no carriage in sight either! As for horses, carriages pass by every day and white horses are seen every day. How can this be so strange?
I just don’t know if this person riding a horse is Prince Charming or Tang Seng? Why! If you think too much, close your eyes and continue dreaming about Duke Zhou!
The horse stopped at the gate of Xiao's house, and the person who came was Min Fangqi's servant Sanzhu. The wind, frost, snow and cold along the way had cut his young face into cracks, and his mouth was sticky. Together, their clothes are messy, their buns are hanging down, and their fine hair is flying like straw.
Sanzhu got off his horse and quickly knocked on the Xiao family's door.
On the third night of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Ming was surprised by Sanzhu's arrival. She didn't expect that Sanzhu would come at this time. She should not be so urgent! She deliberately took more medicine in order to live a peaceful life. Could it be that her condition has worsened?
Xiao Ming hurriedly opened Min Fangqi's letter and put it down for a long time. She felt relieved and picked it up again. Her condition had not worsened, but another person was injured and asked her to go to the capital as soon as possible.
It seems that this trip to the capital is inevitable.
"Without further delay, please leave Doctor Xiao as soon as possible." Sanzhu urged. He hoped that Xiao Ming would leave immediately. The escort was waiting in the town.
Yes, there is an escort. He didn't even expect that the master would go to the capital to treat such an important person, so he was escorted every time he went back and forth between the capital and the Xiao family.
Just to avoid alerting others, the escort would always wait for rest in Ping'an Town.
Every time, no matter how long the journey, no matter how hard and tiring, Sanzhu's heart is filled with excitement.
There is nothing that gives a greater sense of superiority than being surrounded by people. I think those adults who are surrounded, protected, and have important missions must feel this way! Splendid Doctor
