From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 224

Cry, cry out all the grievances of the past two days.

Cry, how many grievances have you suffered in the past thirty years?

Your father doesn't like you, thinking that you are not obedient enough and too flamboyant.

Your sisters don't like you either, thinking that you are too smart and strong, stealing their limelight.

Your brothers don't like you either, and even hate you, because you have the ability to grasp power.

Only your mother loves you, but she was beaten to death by your father.

You have endless wealth to enjoy in your life, but you can never buy a perfect family and enjoy the temple of family happiness.

You can't even decide your own marriage, and can only be forced to marry a coward who likes men.

You finally met a real man, but he was killed by the tiger because he saved your life many times, and his whole body could not be kept.

Chen Peixian, why is your life so miserable? Is God killing you?

Countless voices echoed in her mind, and countless thoughts surged out at this moment, like huge waves and tsunamis, sweeping over her body.

Princess Qinshui cried heartbreakingly, heartbroken.

But the figure in front of her suddenly pulled her back to reality.

"Xiaozhuang! Xiaozhuang!"

Princess Qinshui shouted suddenly, crying: "You finally came to me! Go! Go to save Zhou Yuan! It will be too late if you don't go now!"

She knew Xiaozhuang's ability, and she trusted this chief worshiper of the palace.

"It's too late."

Xiaozhuang said lightly: "Let's go, it's time to go home, His Majesty is very worried about you."

Princess Qinshui widened her eyes, her voice trembling: "What did you say?"

Xiaozhuang said: "I followed your traces all the way here, and found a lot of blood not far from the place where you started the fire just now."

"No!"

Princess Qinshui cried out in pain, her face suddenly turned pale as paper, big tears fell, and she collapsed on the ground powerlessly.

Xiaozhuang said calmly: "As a military officer, it is his unshirkable duty to protect important figures of the royal family. He died for the country."

Princess Qinshui looked dull, as if she was already dead, and her mind was full of scenes from the past two days.

Xiaozhuang stopped talking, but carried her on his back and headed towards Shenjing at a high speed.

At this moment, Princess Qinshui was like a corpse, not struggling at all.

It was just that her cloudy eyes were always filled with tears.

...

The town was right in front of him, but his mother had walked for three hours.

After his tense nerves relaxed, Zhou Yuan felt endless fatigue.

He finally reached the location marked on the map, an inconspicuous farm with salted fish and garlic hanging at the door, and red clothes hanging to dry. That was the mark.

Zhou Yuan knocked on the door and shouted, "Open the door, mortal! A god has come!"

A woman's voice inside responded, "Which god dares to come to this world!"

Zhou Yuan said, "The god of the void."

The woman continued to respond, "What is the god of the void doing here?"

Zhou Yuan scratched his head and said, "Collecting...supplies."

The door slowly opened, and a pretty woman in an apron bowed slightly and said, "Sir, please come in."

Zhou Yuan strode in and said anxiously, "Prepare hot water for me, I want to take a bath."

"Is there any food? Give me some, and boil some ginger soup to drive away the cold."

"Get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone ready, I want to write a letter."

As he walked in, Zhou Yuan found that there were more than a dozen female guards from the inner court living here, the youngest was eighteen or nineteen years old, and the oldest was already in forty or fifty.

"You want hot water, food, and ginger soup? Are you here to be a master?"

A cold voice came, and Zhou Yuan was stunned.

He turned around suddenly and saw a familiar figure.

She was wearing a dark-black close-fitting martial arts uniform that outlined her beautiful figure. She was 1.7 meters tall, with an oval face and willow-shaped eyebrows. There was a cold look in her eyes, and she still had the same expression as before.

"Qingying! Second Senior Sister!"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but shout. After going through so much hardship and walking out of the mountains, he actually met an old friend. He was really excited.

Ye Qingying rolled her eyes and said, "What are you yelling about? You look so miserable!"

She said a few words indifferently before instructing the other female guards, "Prepare food and ginger soup, and prepare a few sets of thick clothes, but don't prepare hot water."

"You are covered in wounds, and you are still soaking in hot water. You really think you haven't bled enough!"

"Sister Yun, go get the medicine box."

After a series of orders, she looked at Zhou Yuan and tilted her head and said, "What? Master Zhou, do you want me to carry you into the house in a sedan chair?"

Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Look at what you said. I'm not that impressive. Qingying, you always speak in a sarcastic tone. You need to change this habit."

Ye Qingying"After all, I am an official. I speak to people in a way that is human and to ghosts in a way that is not human. Anyone who treats you well has suffered from you."

Zhou Yuan said seriously: "Qingying, this is not nonsense. Zhou just stole the battery and never did anything else."

"What?"

"Nothing, I'm out of place."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said: "Put aside the medicine application. Where is my room? I need to write a letter now."

Ye Qingying was quite impatient and took Zhou Yuan to the side yard. There was an ear room here as a study and office, and next to it was the bedroom.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were ready, and Zhou Yuan picked up the pen and wrote.

Although the two were running for their lives, the plan gradually became clear. He needed to arrange a lot of things. He already had the content in his mind, so he just wrote it on paper.

After writing seven or eight letters in one breath, Zhou Yuan took a long breath and said, "The addresses and recipients are marked on them. They must be handed over to specific people and not passed on."

"When can it be delivered to Shenjing?"

Ye Qingying said, "If you send a pigeon to deliver the letter, it will reach the Shenjing Inner Court in two hours, and then at most two hours, the female official of the Inner Court will be able to deliver the letter to the specific person."

Zhou Yuan nodded, and then said, "I feel better. Give me something to eat. I'm starving."

Ye Qingying smiled and said, "I've heard about your situation, but why are you staying here with me? Why don't you go back to Shenjing?"

"To make a fire."

"Make a fire?"

Ye Qingying was a little confused.

Zhou Yuan smiled confidently, "I came to Shenjing to work as the North City Military Division. The first fire has been lit. The inner and outer cities of Shenjing have been rectified, and the gangs and dirt have been cleared."

"For this second fire, I plan to ignite it at Juyongguan, and the fire must be bigger and the harvest must be richer."

Ye Qingying glared and said, "Can you burn it to Shenjing if you light a fire here?"

Zhou Yuan said, "Someone will take us there. After all... this fire is too strong, and the north wind is blowing."

"Don't talk about keeping us in suspense! You can say it or not! Who is begging you!"

Ye Qingying snorted heavily and put on a face, but still couldn't help asking, "Well, tell me how to rectify Shenjing. I always hear rumors about you here, but I don't know the details. It's so annoying."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "It turns out that Second Senior Sister also has weaknesses. You are very curious."

Ye Qingying's face changed, and she said directly, "Who is curious about you! Go to hell! Go eat!"
