Chapter 178 Lost
Some suspicions only need a crack.
Once the crack is opened, thinking about the people and things of the past, that person and that thing will no longer be the same.
The emperor's eyes passed over the bracelet and looked at the eldest princess.
"I will naturally give face to my sister, but I want to repair the canal, but Lord Shi does not stand on the same line with me, which really makes me feel cold."
The emperor looked like he had suffered a great injustice.
He sighed sullenly and was very unhappy.
The emperor said so, and the eldest princess's suspicion was relieved.
I was wondering why the emperor just treated her like that.
It turned out that he was angry because of Shi Shangshu's matter.
Smiling in her heart, the eldest princess said: "Your Majesty, calm down. Although Shi Shangshu is my son-in-law, you know that I never participate in the affairs of the court. I can't influence his thoughts on the specific matters of the canal."
The emperor looked angry.
"You can't influence how he thinks about the canal, and I can't influence whether Shen Li marries Shi Yuexin."
The eldest princess was amused by the emperor's angry look, "Your Majesty, you are completely mixing public and private matters."
"In my opinion, it's the same thing. If Minister Shi agrees to build the canal, then I will grant the marriage."
"Your Majesty, you are making things difficult for me." The eldest princess looked helpless.
The emperor said, "I dare not embarrass my sister. I have given you a firm answer. You can decide the details yourself."
After a pause, the emperor suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, my mother just said that she wants to summon you to the palace to talk. You should go there first to see what's going on. As for the marriage, when Minister Shi changes his mind, my sister can come to me again!"
The eunuch chief steward followed with a low voice, "Your Majesty, Xiao Shunzi just reported that when the imperial kitchen was delivering soup to the empress, some of it was accidentally spilled on Yongchun Road. It's still freezing cold when going from the imperial study to the Cining Palace."
The emperor rolled his eyes, "Just find a sedan chair to carry it over! Is there a shortage of sedan chairs in the palace?"
The eunuch chief steward immediately stopped talking and bowed his head.
The eldest princess bowed to the emperor and left.
Outside the imperial study, the eunuch chief steward arranged sedan chairs as quickly as possible.
Two sedan chairs.
The princess pointed at the other sedan chair in confusion, "Why are there two?"
The eunuch chief steward said respectfully: "We are going to pick up Concubine Yu. It's cold, so a sedan chair is more convenient."
The princess said nothing more and turned to get on the sedan chair in front.
The two sedan chairs set off almost at the same time. One left the imperial study, and the other went to the left and the other to the right.
It was cold in winter, and in order to keep warm, the sedan chair was made as closed as a carriage.
Incense was lit in the sedan chair.
The princess sat in the swaying sedan chair, smelling the faint fragrance, and felt a little drowsy.
Is it too tired these days?
The eyelids fought several times and finally closed heavily.
About a quarter of an hour later, the eunuch chief steward returned to the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, it's done."
The emperor looked down at the memorial, hummed and said nothing more.
Since Fu Rui colluded with Prince Ning and the Duke of Zhenguo, let's see who is more desperate when Fu Rui disappears.
Kyoto, bloody storms and turbulent waves.
Qinghe County.
The original plan was to go to Boss Meng's knitting workshop early the next morning, but Zhao Dacheng's wife accidentally injured her arm while playing mahjong, so Zhao Dacheng couldn't leave for a while and was delayed for three or five days.
Zhao Dacheng was finally free today, so the three of them took a carriage early in the morning and went straight to the knitting workshop.
The knitting workshop is in a village called Xujia Village between Qinghe County and Pingzhou.
This is Boss Meng's ancestral home.
A knitting workshop feeds the villagers of the entire Xujia Village, and almost every household has women working here.
When we left in the morning, it was still sunny.
But when the carriage was halfway, it suddenly became cloudy. In less than a cup of tea, heavy snow wrapped in a gale of at least level 7 fell.
This wind and snow came suddenly, as if there were gods and demons making trouble.
For a while, the sky and the earth were white, and the visibility was less than ten meters.
Li Yi was driving the carriage, and the wind and snow made him unable to open his eyes.
"Miss Zhou, we can't drive on this road. If we continue to move forward, we are likely to get lost."
"But if we stay here, I'm afraid the snow will bury us alive." Zhou Qing got into the carriage and shouted to Li Yi while looking at the wind and snow outside.
The wind was too strong, and if her voice was a little quieter, Li Yi couldn't hear it at all.
As he was talking, Zhao Dacheng's servant came closer from the wind and snow.
He shouted loudly, "Miss Zhou, our master said that we should connect the three carriages with ropes, and Boss Meng's carriage will be in the lead. He knows the road, and we should rush to Xujia Village as soon as possible."
As the servant spoke, he handed a thick rope to Li Yi, turned around and disappeared in the snow.
Li Yi did not tie the rope directly to the carriage, but held it in his hand, so that he could better feel the direction change of the carriage in front.
Soon the rope was stretched, and Li Yi whipped the horse.
The carriage was moving rapidly in the heavy snow again.
Zhou Qing had never seen such heavy snow before.
If the snow continued to fall for a long time, there would be a famine.
After leaning against the window and watching the snow for a while, she shrank her neck and pulled down the curtains.
Because the speed was fast and the road was not very good, the carriage was very bumpy.
Zhou Qing was being bumped to death, when suddenly the carriage stopped.
Zhou Qing lifted the curtain and said, "Are we there?"
Li Yi showed Zhou Qing the rope in his hand.
"It's disconnected from the car in front."
Zhou Qing
Disconnected?
What should they do if they have no place to go and no store behind them, and they have no way of knowing their direction in the heavy snow.
Zhou Qing didn't have any skills to survive in the wild, so he could only place his hope on Li Yi.
Li Yi
The heavy snow covered everything, and even if he had clairvoyance, he couldn't see very far.
Fortunately, people can't see the direction, and there are horses!
Li Yi gently patted the horse on one side.
"Although we adults are in Kyoto, we are always thinking about Miss Zhou.
This horse is a high-grade military horse that our adults specially found for Miss Zhou.
He has an excellent memory and can tell the direction clearly. We can't find Zhao Dacheng and the others, but we can return to Qinghe County.
Don't worry, Miss Zhou, the horse chosen by us adults will definitely allow us to go back safely. "
Zhou Qing discovered that since Shen Li returned to Beijing this time, the people he left behind would expose Shen Li in front of her whenever they got a chance.
Refresh your sense of presence over and over again.
She was so happy!
After glancing at the horse, Zhou Qing said, "Okay, let's go back, thank you for your hard work."
Zhou Qing retracted the carriage and Li Yi drove back.
while walking.
Something's not quite right about this road.
The originally smooth road gradually became rough.
Moreover, there is Poe.
Gradually, the woods also appeared in front of me.
Li Yi who is driving
Zhou Qing in a car.
Led by the best military horses specially selected by Shen Li, they got lost.
