Chapter 58: 51st
Time passed little by little, and Xuanyuan Ye felt that the time was almost up, so he hinted that his subordinates had retreated.
"Xuanyuan Ye, let's wait and see who can catch her first." The prince looked at him coldly and said harshly, his eyes narrowed suddenly, bloodthirsty murderous intent filled his face, and he added again, "If I can't catch her, then I will kill her, at any cost, no matter what method is used."
His words are definitely not a threat, because he was originally that kind of extremely cruel person.
It's just that, at this moment, it is also intentionally told to Xuanyuan Ye.
Xuanyuan Ye's hand hidden under his shirt suddenly tightened again, and he couldn't help feeling a little more worried, hoping that nothing would happen to that woman.
The prince's people left the city as a matter of course.
"If I want to chase her, I must catch her. If Xuanyuanye's people find her first, I will kill her at all costs." Once out of the city, the prince ordered in a cold voice. The voice is full of cruelty and ruthlessness.
If she is really the legendary star descending to earth, he absolutely cannot let her marry Xuanyuan Ye. Even if it ruins her.
"Yes." His subordinates responded respectfully, and then went after each other separately.
Xuanyuan Ye found a few people with the highest martial arts and the strongest ability to go out of the city to look for them. Of course, Liu Yue must go, because only Liu Yue can see through her disguise.
No one knows which direction Meng Fuying has gone to, and no one knows what she will look like when we see her next time.
"Your Highness, according to Miss Meng's intelligence, I believe nothing will happen." Seeing the seriousness on Xuanyuanye's face, Su Feng said in a low voice, he understood His Highness's worry at the moment.
If His Highness hadn't been afraid of chasing the wrong way, afraid that someone would find Miss Meng and not get the news in a timely manner, he would have chased her out by himself at this moment.
After Meng Fuying left the city, she didn't dare to stay for a moment. She knew very well that Xuanyuan Ye could only hold the prince back for a while, and it couldn't be too long, so she wanted to stay as far away from the capital as possible.
Since the crown prince saw her dressed as an old man just now, at this moment, the appearance just now can no longer be used, because the crown prince will definitely pay special attention to the old man in the future.
The crown prince obviously didn't know her real appearance, otherwise he wouldn't have mistaken the young man for her.
Then she can use her original appearance now.
Arriving in a small town, Meng Fuying bought a new set of men's clothing that was more bulky, and then wrapped a thick layer of white belt around her waist, and put some things on her shoulders, and even put some pads on her boots. A thick layer was formed.
I use my own appearance for my appearance. Sometimes after changing my appearance, if I meet a real master of disguise, I am afraid that my flaws will be seen all at once. It is hard to guarantee that the prince's subordinates will not have such people.
After such a treatment, her whole body has grown a lot taller, and her body has also 'fat' around, making her much burlier.
A fake Adam's apple was cleverly created at the throat, and the chest was tightly wrapped up, so that no bulge could be seen.
Added her arrogant domineering that invisible exudes.
At this moment, when she is walking on the street, no one will suspect that she is a woman.
After the disguise was done properly, Meng Fuying strutted out onto the street, holding a fan in his hand, shaking it every now and then, just like a suave playboy.
At this moment, instead of keeping a low profile just now, she was deliberately showing off.
In this case, if you show off, it will be less likely to arouse the suspicion of the prince and others. Who would have thought that a person who was running for his life could be so public.
The girls on the street were all staring at her blankly, their faces were full of peach and red, and they were all excited, a little shy but couldn't help but look at her.
Meng Fuying blinked, winked at them, and blew a kiss, which made the girls dazed.
But when the man on the road looked at her, he had a look that would kill her. It seems that jealousy is not only for women, but also for men.
However, the reactions of all these people also proved that her disguise was very successful.
At the moment when those girls were in love, Meng Fuying walked into a restaurant in a big way, had a good meal, took a rest, and then continued on her way.
She didn't rush too much, and traveled all the way. She even rented a carriage and a girl from Liuhua Lane to conceal her identity. Appreciating the beautiful scenery, the beauty is in the arms, extremely chic, extremely proud.
She knew that the prince's influence was outside the capital, but it was also within the Xuanyuan Dynasty, so she had to leave the Xuanyuan Dynasty first.
The closest to here is the Daxi Dynasty, and then the Beiyuan Kingdom. She chose to visit the Beiyuan Kingdom, because it was the prince of the Beiyuan Kingdom that Xuanyuan Qing rejected.
After continuing to drive for a few days, they finally entered Beiyuan Country. The journey went very smoothly without any danger.
It is impossible for the crown prince and Xuanyuan Ye not to catch up here, the only possibility is that no one recognizes her. She herself admired her ability to pretend.
In front of her is the capital of Beiyuan country. As long as she enters the capital of Beiyuan, she will be safer, because no matter how arrogant the crown prince is, he would not dare to lead troops into the capital of other countries.
It's just that, just as she was thinking, the carriage stopped suddenly. Meng Fuying was secretly startled, could it be that she was discovered?
The curtain of the carriage was pulled open suddenly, and a man with a fierce face poked his head in and looked in. When he saw Meng Fuying, he was slightly startled, his eyes twinkled slightly, and a smug sneer appeared on the corners of his lips.
Meng Fuying was secretly startled, knowing something bad, this man must have recognized her, it seems that he knows her true face.
"Where are you still running, I think?" The man roared fiercely, then quickly reached out his hand and grabbed Meng Fuying, "Master ordered, if you find anyone, shoot and kill."
The girl she rented screamed in fright, Meng Fuying didn't struggle, and followed his strength to get off the carriage, then slammed on the horse's back, and said sharply, "Let's go."
She didn't want to disturb other people, the horse was suddenly frightened, took the coachman and the girl, and rushed forward quickly.
That sentence, kill her, made her guess who the master he was talking about was definitely not Xuanyuan Ye, nor could it be the prince, because the prince's original intention was to catch her, not kill her.
There is only one person who wants her to die quickly and knows her real appearance, and that is Meng Ruxue.
Meng Ruxue, you are really cruel enough to send someone to kill her.
After Meng Fuying got off the carriage, there was a cold light in her drooping eyes. This man must have good skills. If he was tough, she would definitely not be his opponent. The trick is fatal.
The thin knife slowly slipped into her hand. It was the knife Feng Yulan used to frame her last time. She didn't take it away at that time, because she thought it was very suitable for a scalpel, so she put it away.
"Hmph, this time I can take your head to claim the reward." The man relaxed his vigilance when he saw the trembling Meng Fuying, and said a little proudly.
The knife in his hand was also quickly raised, and chopped towards Meng Fuying's neck.
Meng Fuying narrowed his eyes slightly, moved his footsteps quickly, dodged his attack quickly, then raised his hand quickly, and the knife in his hand directly sliced across his throat.
The man's movements froze for an instant, his eyes widened suddenly, and he fell down slowly. I'm afraid he didn't understand what was going on until he died?
However, his knife still swept across her back. The pain in her back reminded her that she was injured, and it seemed that the injury was not serious.
Enduring the pain, Meng Fuying knelt down and searched his body, and found a wrinkled portrait, which was exactly her real face, and this portrait was old at first glance, so she concluded that the portrait must be It was Meng Ruxue who gave it to him, so there should be only this one.
She quickly tore the portrait into pieces, then raised her hand to let the pieces float in the wind, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Brother, it's no fault of me, I won't kill you, at this moment I'm the one lying on the ground."
Just about to turn around to leave, when I turned around, I saw an old man about 40 or 50 years old, looking at her in panic, and said anxiously, "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything." It seemed It was because she was afraid that she would kill someone to silence her.
Meng Fuying just glanced at him, the pain in her back made her take a deep breath, the injury was in her back, she couldn't bandage it, she had to go to the city quickly.
"My lord, you are injured." Seeing the injury on her back, the old man forgot to be afraid for a moment. Maybe he saw that Meng Fuying didn't look like a bad person, so he said hastily, "I am a doctor. If you don't dislike it, you might as well let me bandage your wound, but I don't have ready-made medicine in my hand, if you are at ease, come with me to the capital."
Meng Fuying was slightly taken aback, seeing the sincerity on the old man's face, and the natural concern in his eyes, and the bamboo basket on the old man's back contained some freshly picked herbs, it seemed that he was indeed a doctor.
then nodded slightly, "Okay, then thank you, old man."
Actually, she was also worried that she would not be able to persist in the capital alone.
The old man took her into the capital quickly, then went to a small pharmacy he opened, and bandaged her wound. Fortunately, the wound was only on her shoulder. When the old man bandaged her, he just retreated the clothes to the shoulder , did not find that she was disguised as a man.
In the next few days, Meng Fuying stayed to recuperate. The old man's surname is Chen, and he is fifty years old this year, but he has no children. He only lives with his wife. The husband and wife treat Meng Fuying very well, as if they were their own sons.
So, after Meng Fuying recovered from her injury, she was reluctant to leave. Moreover, staying here is extremely safe. In this way, she will become a citizen of Beiyuan Country, and no one will suspect her.
The husband and wife were even more happy, so Meng Fuying asked them to call her their nephew to the outside world, so she stayed and helped the old man see patients.
Half a month passed in a flash, the weather was calm and nothing happened, Meng Fuying really liked this kind of peaceful life.
It's just that, on this day, in the imperial palace, the imperial list was suddenly posted, saying that the empress was seriously ill, and no imperial physician in the imperial court could heal her. If anyone could heal the empress, he would be rewarded heavily.
The imperial physicians are helpless, how dare the other doctors try their best, what's more, they all know that they will be rewarded if they are cured, but if they are not cured, they may die.
Meng Fuying didn't bother, because she didn't want to cause trouble, and she didn't want to break this peaceful life.
But things didn’t go according to people’s wishes, because no one entered the palace on their own initiative, and those officials forcibly arrested people to enter the palace in order to report to their superiors.
I heard that there were a few who refused to go, and they were severely beaten on the spot. Some people were forced to enter the palace, but they never came out.
"Doctor, come on, come with me into the palace, to see the queen." Although Old Chen's clinic is small and his medical skills are average, officers and soldiers still come to him.
"Government, please spare the younger one. The younger one is just treating common people with minor ailments and supporting their families. How can they cure the Queen's illness?" Father Chen begged again and again.
"Why, do you mean to resist the edict?" The officer and soldier didn't want to reason with him, and when he heard what he said, he threatened harshly.
"The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare, the little ones really don't have that ability, please forgive the young ones." Father Chen was startled, and begged again and again. He took out some silver and stuffed it into the hands of the officers and soldiers. "It's a small thing, the official took it out for tea."
The officer and soldier glanced at it, but didn't seem to notice it, and then snorted coldly, "What are you doing, dare to bribe the official?"
"The younger one doesn't dare, the younger one just invites the official to have a cup of tea." Father Chen's body trembled, hearing his words, his face became more frightened. Then he took some silver from the cabinet and gave it to the officer.
These silver taels are the living expenses of Mr. Chen for several months, these cannibal bastards.
It was just using this incident to extort money.
Meng Fuying's eyes narrowed slightly, a chill was hidden in the depths of his eyes, and his hands tightened subconsciously, with an urge to kick the officer and soldier out, but in the end he held back, hoping not to cause trouble Don't cause trouble, she has enough troubles already.
As long as the officers and soldiers can be sent away. If the money is gone, you can earn it again.
The officer shook the silver taels in his hands, his face softened a little this time, he stared at Meng Fuying who was grinding medicine at the counter, and asked, "Who are you?"
"He's my little nephew. He just came to the capital and has never seen the world. The official should not be as knowledgeable as him." Father Chen repeatedly explained for Meng Fuying, for fear that the official would cause trouble for Meng Fuying.
"Oh, he also understands medical skills?" The officer and soldier narrowed his eyes and asked suddenly.
"I don't understand, he doesn't understand, just to help the little one." Father Chen naturally understood what the officer and soldier meant, and said hastily.
"I don't understand, I don't know how to use medicine, you are so brave, you dare to lie to the officials, and you don't want to live." The officers and soldiers really turned their backs on others, and just after receiving the money, they put on a fierce look .
She knew that he must be the one who wanted to blackmail him a little more because he saw that old man Chen took the money freely.
Father Chen naturally understood what he meant, but it's a pity that all the silver was given to him just now, and now, he really can't get any more money, so he could only plead in a low voice, "Master, he really doesn't understand , and he also helped with some odd jobs, for those who don’t understand medicine.”
"Stop talking, catch him into the palace to treat the queen, and whoever dares to stop him will hit me." That official was really greedy, he took the money, and wanted to arrest someone to receive the reward.
Several soldiers wanted to go forward to catch Meng Fuying, but Father Chen wanted to stop him, but he was caught by a soldier and kicked severely.
Meng Fuying couldn't bear it any longer, she raised her eyes suddenly, looked straight at the officer, and said coldly, "Let him go." Father Chen was her lifesaver, how could she just watch him being beaten? .
"Oh, your temper is not small, and you even ordered me to come. I see that you are impatient. Who do you think you are?" The official said angrily, and then turned to The soldier beside him shouted, "Give me a hard hit on that old man."
"I'd like to see, who dares to do it?" Meng Fuying's brows were slightly raised, but there was a blood stagnant coldness in her low voice, which made the official startled slightly.
"Haha, I'm about to do something, what can you do to me?" the official said with a smug smile.
"I'm going to reveal the imperial list now, and enter the palace to treat the empress. If you want the reward I want from the emperor to be your head, you can do it." What she despises the most is this kind of bully.
Things have come to such a point, she has no choice but to enter the palace, but she will definitely not follow these people into the palace, she will go to reveal the imperial list, and then enter the palace.
She doesn't want to be famous, because if she is famous, she will naturally attract people's attention. At that time, Xuanyuan Ye and the crown prince are very likely to find her, but now she has no choice.
The official was stunned suddenly, and looked at Meng Fuying in disbelief, "You said, you are going to reveal the imperial list and treat the queen?"
Meng Fuying just glanced at him coldly, and didn't speak again, but that innate aura made the official stunned again.
"Lin Zi, don't talk nonsense, how can you enter the palace, tell the official quickly, you are just joking." Father Chen was even more surprised, and shouted to Meng Fuying again and again, he is He was afraid that if Meng Fuying entered the palace, if he could not heal the queen, he would be killed.
In order not to attract suspicion, Meng Fuying changed her name——Chen Lin, following Father Chen's surname.
"Uncle, don't worry, I'll be fine." Meng Fuying comforted him softly. She is a famous doctor in modern times. Maybe she can cure the queen's illness. Moreover, she believes that when she enters the palace and faces the emperor, she will always be able to treat her. Better than facing these unreasonable officials, because she believes that the emperor will not kill her just because she can't heal the queen well. A bustling scene.
"Can you really cure the queen?" the official asked again.
"This has nothing to do with you." Meng Fuying glanced at him coldly again, then walked straight out of the door, directly to reveal the imperial list.
The official was stunned, but he had already flattered and reported to the higher-ups, so Meng Fuying had not yet arrived at the palace, and a very gorgeous sedan chair came to pick her up.
The official followed her all the time, as if he was afraid that she would run away halfway, until he saw the sedan chair coming to pick him up, he walked over quickly this time, and said, "Master Wang, it's him, he said he can heal the queen. sick."
"Well, you performed well." The Lord Wang praised him, then turned to Meng Fuying, saw her wearing a very ordinary dress, frowned slightly, but still politely invited her into the sedan chair.
Meng Fuying didn't hesitate, and quickly got into the sedan chair, and entered the palace not long after.
The Lord Wang directly brought her to the palace, and then the eunuchs brought her into the queen's palace.
In the hall of the palace courtyard, several men were sitting at the moment. When they saw Meng Fuying coming in, they were all stunned, and several pairs of eyes were all looking at Meng Fuying.
Seeing her outfit, they all showed some doubts.
"Can you really cure the queen mother's illness?" One of the men couldn't help asking, his eyes were still looking at Meng Fuying's body.
"Caomin has just entered the palace, and has not yet diagnosed the queen. You ask Caomin so that you want Caomin to answer you, and you can just talk about it?" Meng Fuying lowered her eyes slightly, and replied very respectfully, but there was something in that voice. A somewhat obvious question.
She didn't check it, but he asked her like this, didn't he deliberately make things difficult?
The man was stunned for a moment, a little annoyed at being contradicted by her like this, and said angrily, "Hmph, you are quite courageous. If you can't heal your mother, I will chop your head off."
"If that's the case, then the grass-roots people will leave. The grass-roots people are here to see a doctor, not to give away their heads. I thought that the emperor's list posted by the emperor was to find more opportunities for the queen. If the head is cut off, there seems to be no difference between posting on the imperial list and not posting it." Meng Fuying smiled slightly, and after finishing speaking coldly, she turned around slowly, intending to leave.
"Huh, it's interesting, let him in." A man's voice suddenly came from inside, like a faint smile, and there seemed to be a little cold snort.
Meng Fuying's eyes widened slightly, this voice! this voice! It was very familiar. Although the tone was different, she still recognized the voice.
It's him! Why is he here?
