Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter Two: The Spiritual Stone of Fate
Chapter 247 The Road Home (3)
Chang Shen prepared hot vegetable soup for her in the evening. After eating, Yue Qing sat in front of the carriage for a while. Seeing Shi Hu over there, he asked Shi Rong why his clothes were so dirty. Thanks to his good eyesight, he could see clearly at night. Several young generals were making noises, asking whether Shi Rong had been knocked down by Commander Jiao. The ground is gone.
Chang Shen said that King Bowei had also prepared a tent for Yue Qing and asked her if she wanted to rest in the tent.
Yue Qing glanced at the limited number of tents on the opposite side. Not everyone on King Bowei's side had a tent to rest in. Most of the soldiers spread their clothes directly on the ground to sleep.
"No need, I'll just rest in the carriage. I'm used to it and it's quite comfortable to fall asleep. What about you?"
"We'll just sit by the fire and rest for the night."
"Oh, you don't have to wait for me if I get up late tomorrow. It's time to go for a walk. Just make some pancakes for me when you make breakfast, roll up some particularly soft and delicious meat and cold dishes, and eat them after I wake up. , don’t do anything else.”
Chang Shen smiled and said: "Yes. Don't worry, miss, it will definitely suit your taste."
"Well, I fell asleep."
"Okay, miss, go to bed early."
Qi Jiao raised the car curtain and Yue Qing got in.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The journey is monotonous. There is nothing much to do in this place except playing small games and looking at the scenery. On the fifth day of their return trip, Yue Qing's menstrual period came.
Backache, laziness. Qing'er and the others were worried and in a hurry. Fortunately, she was prepared in advance and after putting on a special menstrual belt, Yue Qing walked back and forth in front of Qing'er.
"Look, how's it going? There's no problem at all."
"It seems like this menstrual belt is very effective. However, miss, your body will still feel uncomfortable. How about we rest for a few days before leaving?"
"Why are you resting? Didn't they say it's coming soon?"
San Yuxiao said: "It's almost here, you can rest for a few days, no less than a day or two."
Yue Qing sighed, "I told you that you don't need to rest, so why waste this time. You see, I can run and jump with no problem now. I don't want to stay here, so the main thing is to go home quickly. I guess it will be about the same by the time we arrive. Gone."
Qing'er said: "Well, which hospital master would handle this during menstruation?"
"They are other people, and I am me, so I don't want to waste this time. As we have said before, don't have any objections. Don't mention anything about rest in front of Mo Xue and Chang Ge later. I heard that without?"
"Yes, there is nothing particularly uncomfortable about Miss. As long as Deacon Xue and the others don't ask, I won't bring it up. But if Miss feels uncomfortable, you must tell her."
"Don't worry, if I feel uncomfortable, I will definitely ask to stop and rest."
"Miss, you are the one who has to walk around during the first menstrual period here. Qing'er is really afraid that something will happen."
"What could happen, don't worry. San Yuxiao, you too, don't look for trouble."
"I just listen to you. At last, there is nothing serious about your health. If I feel that you are uncomfortable, I will ask them to stop and rest."
Yue Qing gritted her teeth and thought to herself: There is really no privacy at all, the settings of this spiritual guard are so annoying.
Chang Yuxiao knew from the look in her eyes that she disliked him again, and sighed secretly in his heart. He estimated that there had never been a more difficult spiritual guard in the history of the villa than him.
Yue Qing said angrily: "Okay, let's go back, they will be anxious later."
Qing'er said from the side: "I really miss Qiao'er and Cai'er now. At this time, even one more person can discuss it."
Yue Qing said angrily: "What's there to discuss? It's just that you think things are too complicated. I'm just making it easier. At most, give me a number now. It's as simple as drinking water with us. Such a Every little thing was done as if something big was about to happen, and I was speechless."
The three of them returned to the camp where they rested. Chang Ge and Mo Xue were waiting at the edge of the camp.
Yue Qing twitched her eyebrows.
Chang Ge stepped forward and asked: "Miss, she always takes a long time to come back when she goes out, but there is something special." After speaking, she glanced at Qing'er.
Yue Qing frowned, "I have three urgent needs, I'm just going to make it easier."
Mo Xue also came over.
Chang Ge sighed and asked, "Miss, your period is here."
Yue Qing glanced at the crowd who were still some distance away, and said angrily: "I said, Deacon Song, don't let people have any privacy. Although I am not that conservative, I feel ashamed when I hear this kind of topic. I'm blushing, but that doesn't mean I like discussing private topics in public."
Chang Ge said: "Miss is overthinking. Chang Ge doesn't mean anything else. He just wants to ask Miss if she needs a rest. She will go to the post house to rest this afternoon. Why don't we just stay in the post house for a few days."
Mo Xue said: "What Deacon Song said is that although Miss has been prepared, after all, we don't know how it will work, and there has never been any precedent before. During menstruation, women will always feel uncomfortable even if there are no inconveniences. I would also like to ask Miss to appreciate Deacon Song’s hard work.”
Yue Qing frowned and asked, "How long until we get to Kyoto?"
Mo Xue said: "According to our speed, we still have about three days to go."
"We're almost at the door, aren't we? Just take a rest. Let's rest here and arrange for the fast Red Guard to return to the palace and replace Chang Song. I want to ask about the situation in the palace."
Chang Ge breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Of course you can, Chang Liu is not weak at all, so let him go."
"Okay, you guys can look at the arrangements. I don't want too many people around me, so the post house will arrange a small courtyard for me alone."
Mo Xue said: "The place where the young lady rests is not allowed to allow anyone to approach."
Yue Qing nodded.
Chang Ge said: "Miss, don't worry, madam will be fine. It's the lady who needs to take care of herself now."
"I understand. I'm just a little dissatisfied with the way you have to think about every step here for a long time."
After speaking, he shook his head and walked towards the camp.
Chang Shen saw her coming back angrily, "What's wrong, Miss?"
Yue Qing pouted and said: "It's nothing. Chang Ge suggested that we rest. I have agreed. Let's rest at the inn tonight."
"The lady doesn't seem to want to rest."
"It's not that I don't want to rest, I just feel like it's making a fuss out of a molehill."
Chang Shen said: "Miss, you have to understand Deacon Song. Whether Miss is in good health is a major matter for the villa."
"Hmph, let's rest for a day. When we get bored, we'll fly back and pick the time in the evening."
Chang Shen smiled and said: "We are almost there, please be patient, Miss. When we arrive at the inn, Chang Shen will prepare some snacks that Miss likes to eat."
Yue Qing smiled. "I'm tired of all the sweet ones, so I want to make something salty or something else."
"Don't worry, miss, it will definitely suit your taste."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
In the evening, they had already arrived at the inn.
The people guarding the station had already been notified that they were going to rest here. They had never welcomed a prince-level figure before. A dozen people from the station were waiting at the door to greet him. Welcoming them in with nods and bows.
This is a medium-sized inn with nearly a hundred guest rooms for people to rest. There is also a small courtyard behind the inn. Yue Qing and the three remaining people in Qingyue Yuan live in it. The courtyard is not big, but it is suitable for them. Three are still very spacious. King Bowei and Mo Xue all lived in the guest room in front. The Qingwei and the soldiers led by King Bowei were still camping nearby.
I heard Chang Shen say that this is also the last inn, and after that there are villages and towns, and he will go directly to the inn when he takes a rest. There is a village not far from this inn, but that village is not suitable for Yue Qing to live.
Chang Liu has already left early to return to the palace and is expected to meet Chang Song tonight.
Yueqing stood at the railing on the second floor and watched the people below busy. This small courtyard is probably occupied by the person who was originally responsible for reception in their post house. It was temporarily set aside for her to live in. Many people were patrolling and guarding outside the small courtyard.
Yue Qing hadn't paid much attention to the arrangements outside the courtyard where she lived before. Today, when she came up on an impromptu trip, she realized that except for people from the villa, no one else could approach the entire courtyard.
Chang Bai stood at the entrance of the courtyard, Yue Qing looked at him and smiled.
Qing'er asked from behind: "Miss, what are you so happy about?"
Yue Qing smiled and said: "I'm looking at Chang Bai, he is the only red guard left now."
"It turns out it was for this. Yes, when we came out of the villa, we brought five of them out, and the lady arranged for them to go out. Not only are there fewer red guards, but there are also fewer people in our courtyard. There are already few people, only nine people. , now it’s okay, there are only four of us left.”
"Ha~, indeed. By the way, why haven't Chang Rong and the others come back yet? It stands to reason that they are traveling much faster than us. Did Wanfu's people make the clothes for several days?"
"We're not going too slow, but they should arrive by now."
"You can't find us."
"No, the best way to get to the capital of Li Kingdom is this official road. Even if Qiaoer doesn't know, Chang Rong will not find the wrong place. What's more, there are so many of us, there are always traces on the road. It can be found. Don’t worry, miss, they will definitely come after you.”
"I hope nothing happens. We didn't encounter anything along the way. Do you think there will be any assassins, robbers, etc. that will cause trouble for them?"
Qing'er glanced at Chang Yuxiao who was standing next to him.
Chang Yuxiao said: "With Chang Rong here, Qiaoer himself is also a skilled Zhu Wei. Even if there are robbers, nothing will happen."
"Oh." Yue Qing nodded, turned around and leaned on the railing to look outside. "Qing'er, aren't you bored?"
"Miss, we just arrived at the inn not long ago, and you feel bored again."
"Yeah, how about we go out for a walk."
"Just walk on that road."
"Miss, please stop running around during menstruation. How about Qing'er go get the literacy book?"
"I don't want to learn now."
"If Miss goes out now, Deacon Song will definitely persuade her to come back. Let's just hang out in this courtyard."
"What's so good about this yard? It's just so big, so light, and there's nothing there. How about we go look for treasures in the woods in front of us?"
"There are no treasures in the woods."
"Oh, it's not true. It's just pretending that there is a treasure. Let's go look for it. It will be dark for a while. We can't stay in this small courtyard forever."
"This. But what is the treasure? What are we looking for?"
"Whatever, like personal belongings or something. Everyone takes out a personal belonging and has someone hide it in the woods in advance, and then we compete to find it."
Qing'er had a sad face. Compared with other deans, the master of Qingyue Yard was too difficult to deal with. They had to go out to play during menstruation. There was no way she could stop him, let alone her, even Deacon Song and Deacon Snow couldn't stop him.
"Miss, how about we go talk to Deacon Song and the others."
Yue Qing knew what she meant as soon as she heard what she said, and she wasn't angry, "Okay, I'll wait below. You go find Chang Ge. By the way, call Yue Ke too. He still likes to play."
Qing'er nodded, "Okay, I'll go find Deacon Song now. Miss, please wait a moment."
"Okay, go ahead, go ahead." Yue Qing said with a smile.
Qing'er turned around and went downstairs. Yueqing looked at her back, then turned around and leaned on the railing to watch her walk out of the courtyard.
