Chapter 189
Chen Muqing and Shi Jingshu climbed a short distance and were already panting.
Shi Jingshu held Jasmine's shoulder and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "How long are you going to go?"
Chen Muqing looked around and pointed to the slanted path beside him: "Do you see the stone there? Just stand there - come from the post road, you should be able to see it as soon as you look up."
Shi Jingshu took a deep breath and said, "Don't look at the plum blossoms to quench thirst. You said you were standing next to the tree, but when you stood next to the tree, you said you couldn't see it... I can't walk anymore. No matter whether you can see it or not, I won't leave."
Yingfen and his maids couldn't help laughing.
"Miss Shi," Mingxia covered her mouth, "Thank you for accompanying our aunt this time."
Shi Jingshu couldn't help but say angrily: "You ghost girls are all as stingy as rabbits. You can know how to deal with it if you have a little bit of agitation. I don't know how your aunt taught me - if you say that, if your aunt thinks the place is not good later, I have to leave even if I can't move!"
Chen Muqing couldn't help but blush.
It seems that my close maid knows what she feels...
Fortunately, several guards followed from afar, and Shi Jingshu was surrounded by close-fitting Jasmine and Bauhinia.
Several people stood by the stone, and Mingxia took out something like a kaleidoscope from the Qianhong felt bag he was holding.
Shi Jingshu was also from a noble family and was startled to see the thing: "Where did you get the 'Classic Eye'?"
The so-called "Classic Eye" is a simple telescope from ancient times.
Chen Muqing couldn't help but smile and said, "Let Jinxiu help me borrow it from Mr. Min!"
"Will Mr. Min know?" Shi Jingshu was stunned when she heard this.
Chen Muqing nodded.
"Then, did he say anything?"
Chen Muqing didn't make any sound.
Seeing the two of them saying thoughtful words, Yingfen hurriedly made a gesture to Jasmine, and the few of them retreated from afar.
Chen Muqing then said, "Is it just worrying about me?"
Shi Jingshu looked at the heads of black ants lying under the mountain, and sighed.
In mid-November, the emperor once used troops to Datong on the grounds that there were bandits in Datong. Later, for some reason, the bandits in Datong were silently mentioned. A few days later, the Supreme Emperor appeared in the Hami Guard under Zeng Ju... Later, when Chang Hui came back, Jingshu knew that Wang Qing had never told him the specific return time. He sent Lin Yong, his confidant general and uncle, to Datong to intercept the Supreme Emperor. Wang Qing had already anticipated the danger of the return journey. After discussing with Xiao Sa, he sent Chang Hui to Zeng Ju for help and returned to Kyoto from Hami Guard. Zeng Ju not only agreed readily, but also personally welcomed the imperial guards in Hami Guard. Only then could the Supreme Emperor return to Wanping without any danger.
Now looking at the formation of Yingyu, the emperor's intention is self-evident. How could Shi Jingshu not worry about Xiao Sa's future?
Chen Muqing was not worried about these problems at this moment. She held her eyes wide open and looked at the foot of the mountain with all her concentration.
At this time, the Qianshi Eyes naturally cannot be compared with modern telescopes, not to mention the Qianli Eyes in Chen Muqing's hand were made by Mr. Min in his spare time. Even the colors of the clothes of the people at the foot of the mountain were vague, let alone the appearance.
Chen Muqing looked at the official who read the imperial edict and talked for a long time before slowly putting it away, bowing to the east, and saying a few words.
Finally finished speaking.
Chen Muqing also breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she saw two people kneeling next to the Supreme Emperor standing up and helping the Supreme Emperor up. These two people were tall and short. Although Chen Muqing couldn't see his face clearly, he intuition thought that the tallest one was Xiao Sa.
She couldn't help but walk a few steps forward.
Shi Jingshu, who was standing beside him, was startled to see Chen Muqing's behavior and hurriedly grabbed her last time: "Since the eldest lady knows that you have gone up the mountain, she will definitely tell Xiao Sa, so don't cause trouble."
Chen Muqing turned around and smiled awkwardly at Shi Jingshu.
But Shi Jingshu's words also reminded her. She raised her eyes and looked at the place where the eldest lady was standing, and saw the eldest lady looking at the direction where she was standing.
Chen Muqing felt relieved.
She handed the clairvoyance to Shi Jingshu: "Do you want to see it?"
"What's so good about it!" Shi Jingshu knew that Chen Muqing was anxious to see Xiao Sa, and giving her a clever look was just a polite move, so she refused, "I haven't played with this thing before. It's just the difference between sesame seeds and watermelon seeds - you should keep it for yourself and watch it!" After saying that, she couldn't help but smile.
"What sesame seeds and watermelon seeds!" Chen Muqing didn't know, "I can see it much more clearly than on the mountain."
Shi Jingshu knew that Xiao Sa came back and the stone in Chen Muqing's heart had finally moved away, but after this moment, Xiao Sa's whereabouts would become another stone in Chen Muqing's heart - even more happy when he had fun. She joked about Chen Muqing: "Yes, I am not like someone. I can tell who is who by inadvertent actions? I should stand here and watch you first, so as not to roll down the mountain and fall to Xiao Sa's heels. Yuan Mengren did not scare him, but you scared him to the point of possession."
"Sister Jingshu..." Chen Muqing coquettishly pulled Shi Jingshu's sleeves.
Shi Jingshu smiled and couldn't straighten her waist.
The two of them had a quarrel for a while and then they saw the crowd at the foot of the mountain starting to move slowly.
Chen Muqing hurriedly looked at him with a thousand miles away.
Two people, one tall and one short, supported the Supreme Emperor in front of the country. The officials of the Ministry of Rites followed, followed by the Supreme Emperor back to Kyoto, including Wang Qing. At the end were a group of guards.
The crowd slowly walked towards the place where they stopped their carriages. An eight-nine-year-old boy standing behind Xiao Zhao quickly ran over in front of the Supreme Emperor. Then the Supreme Emperor paused, and the tall man who supported the Supreme Emperor looked around and looked at the place where Chen Muqing was standing.
It's indeed Xiao Sa?
He really came to find me?
Chen Muqing couldn't help but burst into tears, blurring her vision.
She couldn't help but murmured: "He's looking at me!"
Shi Jingshu was sad, but smiled and teased her: "You should rest assured now! Follow me down the mountain, be careful not to go back to the city later."
Chen Muqing wiped his eyes with his sleeve, but he couldn't bear to leave: "Let's take a look!"
Shi Jingshu leaned on her and watched the paused team slowly walking forward.
Along the way, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves coming from the west, and in a short while, it turned into a rumbling sound - hundreds of officers wearing flying fish uniforms as bright as clouds rushed towards this side. The forward team stopped, and the carriages passing by the post road leaned against the post road, looking at it in panic.
Chen Muqing couldn't help but look pale: "Sister Jingshu, it's Feiyuwei."
Shi Jingshu was also shocked when she heard this. She snatched the clairvoyance from Chen Muqing's hand: "If you don't send the imperial guards, you can send the Feiyugu..." Her face was also pale as paper.
"Let's go back to Kyoto," Chen Muqing immediately said, "The Flying Fish Guard is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor. The cabinet may not know their actions. We must tell the master the news as soon as possible to see if we can persuade the elder Wang Shengyun to let the censor come forward to impeach..."
"No," Shi Jingshu also calmed down, "If it was the cabinet, it should be to mobilize the Imperial Guards... Let's go back to Kyoto soon."
The two of them ran down with their skirts.
*******
When Chen Muqing went down the mountain, the people from Feiyugu had surrounded the people who were welcomed by the imperial guards and caught him off guard. Chen Muqing saw Xiao Sa standing beside the Supreme Emperor.
She stood there in a daze.
The gloomy eyes were as sharp as a knife, the thin lips were pursed with indifference that was far away from others, the high raised cheekbones, the coarse cloth clothes hanging on the body were like a poor man... There was no smell of a sunny boy.
Chen Muqing couldn't help but cover his mouth.
She was afraid that she would exclaim, and even more afraid that she would cry loudly.
Shi Jingshu, who followed Chen Muqing, immediately noticed Chen Muqing's strangeness. She stepped forward to support Chen Muqing, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?" She looked over with Chen Muqing's gaze.
A man in a third-grade crimson official uniform was whispering to the man led by Feiyuwei, while the person surrounded by Feiyuwei stood quietly, waiting for the result of the negotiation between the two.
The tall man who was holding the Supreme Emperor suddenly turned around and looked at them. A little bit of joy slowly emerged from his eyes like an ancient well that was shaking waves, like the sunset shining on the lake, shining with golden light, with a calm warmth that gradually softened his face.
Shi Jingshu was stunned for a moment.
Is this tall and handsome man the Xiao Sa who Chen Muqing never forgets?
People who can still show a warm smile after experiencing hardships shouldn't be self-pitying, right? They won't blame Chen Muqing for his own actions, right?
Thoughts flashed, Shi Jingshu had already accused Chen Muqing: "Is the tall man who supports the emperor Xiao Sa?"
Chen Muqing nodded with tears in his eyes.
"He is looking at us?" Shi Jingshu smiled, "Don't lose your composure!"
Chen Muqing smiled.
He smiled with tears in the corners of his eyes.
She saw Xiao Sa blinking at her.
Just like when the master was sent to the imperial prison, he pretended to be a companion to meet her at the Shen family's accounting room, he smiled with a smile, blinked at her, and smiled in a crescendo.
Chen Muqing's tears fell all of a sudden.
He had just experienced a hurdle of life and death, but he still showed her a smile like the scorching sun, illuminating her heavy heart and bringing a little warmth.
She suddenly understood why she liked to see Xiao Sa.
Because in front of Xiao Sa, whether she is the daughter of the prime minister or the little maid of the Shen family, whether she uses him or misleads him, she is all her, and is not blocked by the world. He will always find excuses for forgiveness for her after being furious, and he will give her a intimate smile - no matter what the situation is, no matter when... even when he himself feels pain.
In an instant, Chen Muqing's heart became as soft as a drop of water.
Her eyes felt astringent bitterness.
Chen Muqing whispered to Xiao Sa: "I'll save you!"
From a distance, Xiao Sa showed a faint smile and nodded in the direction of her solemnly, as if she understood what she was talking about.
Chen Muqing smiled.
I smiled brightly like the bright sunshine of May.
