MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 83 accident
Yangzhou City.
The news of many embankments breaking along the Qingjiang River spread, and people in the city were panicking, not knowing when the flood would end, for fear of affecting the pond fish.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally went to Sanhe Town where the breach was the most serious overnight. Qin Yan learned this news from Shen Ying.
Cangxi Forest.
Qin Yan was flipping through a scroll of classics in the study, and Shen Ying spoke from the side,
"Everyone is saying that His Royal Highness is diligent in government and loves the people..."
"Shen Ying." Shen Ying's words were interrupted by Qin Yan's cold voice.
Shen Ying froze for a moment and looked at her master.
Qin Yan did not distinguish between joy and anger, and her voice was cold.
"Do you still remember, who is your master?"
Shen Ying bowed her head angrily, isn't this still for the master?
Shen Ying thought that she was a bystander. When the master was with His Royal Highness, it seemed that he had relieved his usual responsibilities and burdens, and could just relax and be happy, isn't that bad?
Shen Ying deeply thought that this was a good thing.
Ji Nanfeng knocked on the door and came in,
"Master, have the food and medicinal materials been prepared and sent to the Governor's Yamen?"
Qin Yan put down the scroll,
"No, send someone directly to the county where the disaster is bad."
"Yes, Master." Ji Nanfeng usually arranged for Yu Qingfeng's donations to be donated directly to the governors of the prefectures. This time, the Yangzhou governor, Lord Lin, seemed to really displease the master.
------
On the official road from Lingnan to Yangzhou, in a low-key carriage driven by two young men in strong suits, a man and a woman sat opposite each other.
The man was dressed in a jet-black brocade robe, and he was imposing, while the woman was dressed in a pomegranate red dress, with a gorgeous appearance, mature and charming.
Both of them closed their eyes and rested in the car. When the carriage passed a group of people coming from the opposite side, it slowed down, and the two people in the car opened their eyes at the same time.
The chatter of the crowd outside the car was intermittently introduced into the car.
"Where are you calling from?"
"Lu Linzhen, how about you?"
"We are from Sanhe Town, hey..."
"Sanhe Town, you are even worse."
"Yeah, the house was washed away by the flood, the food was gone, and we couldn't pay this year's food, so we had to leave our hometown."
"I heard that the Crown Prince went to your Sanhe Town in person, so good luck, are you still leaving?"
"How can this water control be a matter of one or two days..."
"We're going to Jingzhou, how about you?"
"Yizhou..."
…
The carriage passed slowly, and the sound from outside gradually became inaudible.
The beautiful woman in the car frowned slightly.
Prince?
It seems that Jun Yan said that Yan Yan and the prince have an unusual relationship?
Yan Yan fancy... Feng Si's son?
"Is it Sanhe Town in front?" the woman asked in front of the car.
"Yes, Lord Shen."
The woman looked at the silent man opposite and spoke, but not asking for advice.
"Go to Sanhe Town first, and then enter Yangzhou."
Although the man was sitting upright in the cramped carriage, he was still very imposing. He looked at the woman opposite him with a hint of tenderness and doting in his eyes.
"You just need to remember that after this journey, you have to marry according to the promise..."
The man's deep voice paused slightly, then continued to speak again,
"You have to marry me according to the promise, and the itinerary is up to you."
The woman glanced at the man opposite and continued to close her eyes to rest.
------
Yangzhou City, the Governor's Yamen, was busy with people coming and going.
Chen Xun, the left servant of the Ministry of War, brought a group of officials, including He Xiao, and 50,000 troops to Yangzhou.
Chen Xun went to the governor's office in Yangzhou, and handed over to the governor Lin Hui to arrange to assist in river management and prevent the deployment of troops such as riots by refugees.
Chen Xun arranged for He Xiao:
"He Xiao, you bring your brothers to repair, and after an hour, follow me to Sanhe Town."
"Yes, Lord Chen." Although He Xiao was the eldest son of the Minister of War, He House, but he served in the Ministry of War and respected Chen Xun, the left servant.
He Xiao learned from his father, He Yanming, that Mr. Chen was the eyeliner arranged by the sage in the Ministry of War. In front of Mr. Chen, he had to be very careful in his words and deeds, and never be careless.
------
In a jewelry and jade shop in Yangzhou City, Qin Nian lacks interest, and it is still not as good as Shangjing City, and even less than the Shaofu Supervisor in the palace.
Qin Nian came out of the jade shop and wandered the street boredly. His mother didn't know what to do. The ancestor worship was over, and he didn't return to Beijing for a long time.
The 50,000 horses brought by the Ministry of War were waiting outside the city of Yangzhou for arrangements. He Xiao brought a few colleagues from the Ministry of War into a decent restaurant.
He Xiao didn't change his son-in-law's style. He didn't eat in the hall, but went to the street-side private room on the second floor. He ordered a few good dishes, but he didn't have any wine. He had to go to Sanhe Town in a while. Drinking mistakes.
He Xiao sat by the window, looking at the prosperity of Yangzhou City casually through the window.
A light blue figure caught He Xiao's sight.
It was Qin Nian.
He Xiao's expression immediately turned gloomy and cold,
Qin Nian seemed to be in a good mood. While shopping, He Xiao got up suddenly and strode out.
Several brothers present looked at each other, and then followed.
------
Qin Nian was about to step into a rouge shop when someone suddenly came up behind and grabbed her wrist vigorously.
Qin Nian was in pain and turned around.
"Why are you?" Qin Nian was both surprised and annoyed to see He Xiao here. She took the initiative to follow her mother to Yangzhou to worship her ancestors, just to stay away from the troubles of Shangjing temporarily. Yangzhou.
He Xiao's expression was stern and sinister, his hands were extremely strong, and he didn't mean to pity Xiangxiyu at all.
The little maid next to Qin Nian recognized that this was the young lady's fiancé, so she just shrank aside, she was not good at talking about the master.
Qin Nian was about to speak again when there was a sudden commotion in the street ahead.
"Let's go, let's go, the carriage is out of control." A man shouted loudly and nervously, his voice from far to near.
He Xiao and Qin Nian both looked up and saw a carriage ramming over in front of them. As they were about to approach, pedestrians on the road rolled and crawled to avoid it.
He Xiao's eyes narrowed, but he still didn't let go.
Qin Nian tried to break free from He Xiao, but was constrained by the disparity in the strength of men and women, and could not do anything.
And He Xiao suddenly turned his gaze back and looked at Qin Nian coldly.
A trace of unease suddenly appeared in Qin Nian's heart, and sure enough, He Xiao let go of his hand abruptly and took a little force in the direction of the street. Qin Nian opened his eyes wide and fell out on his back in disbelief.
"Ah, miss..." The little girl covered her mouth with her hands and screamed in shock.
At this time, the carriage was in front of the two of them. Qin Nian's back collided with the left wheel of the passing carriage. There was severe pain in his lower back, and then he bounced back and fell heavily to the ground.
The carriage continued on and was stopped at the corner.
"Miss, ma'am." Qin Nian's little maid panicked, she recovered and hurried to her own lady.
And He Xiao just stared coldly at the woman lying on the ground with her stomach covered. Now his fiancée is also the woman he hates very much.
Why didn't she die? If she died, the marriage would be over.
Qin Nian clutched his lower abdomen, lying on the ground and twisting weakly.
"It hurts, my stomach hurts."
The people next to her surrounded her, but most of them were watching the fun, and they were afraid of getting into trouble, so no one went to help this poor woman on the ground.
The little girl cried out:
"Come on, come and help our lady. Our lady is the second lady of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. Please help our lady."
The little girl saw that everyone was just whispering and pointing. The little girl suddenly remembered something and turned to look at He Xiao who was still standing.
"Young Master He, you are the young lady's fiancé, save the life, Young Master He."
He Xiao just watched coldly, unmoved.
People in the street whispered:
"Is this person a liar, Miss You Xiangfu?"
"That man is the woman's fiancé? It's not like he looks like he doesn't care."
------
At this time, from the Yuqingfeng Bank diagonally opposite, a beautiful woman in a moon-white brocade robe came out, who was Qin Yan, the master of Zhaoren County.
The voices of the people on the street also reached Qin Yan's ears.
Qin Yan frowned,
"Shen Ying, go have a look."
"Yes, master."
Shen Ying pushed aside the crowd and saw that the woman lying on the ground was really Miss Qin, so Shen Ying hurried back.
"Master, it is Qin Nian, Miss Qin of the Right Prime Minister's House, and He Xiao, the eldest son of the He family, is also here."
Qin Yan raised his eyebrows, oh, what a coincidence.
Qin Yan stepped forward, Shen Ying opened the way ahead, everyone saw a very noble, beautiful woman coming, and they all consciously made way.
Qin Yan walked slowly to the lying Qin Nian and looked down at the woman who was in a state of embarrassment, her so-called younger sister.
Suddenly someone in the crowd exclaimed:
"Look, there's blood under that woman's skirt."
"It's a miscarriage, right?"
"Doesn't this woman have a fiancé, is she pregnant before marriage?"
…
He Xiao was shocked and angry, but still did not move.
The people on the street continued to talk:
"Look at that woman's fiancé, who is just watching from the sidelines. Could it be that the child in her womb is not her fiancé's, but some wild man's? This woman's fiancé is outraged."
"Looks like it is."
…
Bystanders on the street seemed to be well-informed.
He Xiao's face turned black, and the colleagues behind him were unmoved when they saw He Xiao, and they didn't know if they should step forward to help. After all, she was the second young lady of Qin Xiangfu...
------
Qin Nian curled up on the ground in pain, while her little maid's cry became more and more shrill.
The little girl suddenly saw Qin Yan, and quickly crawled over to try to pull Qin Yan's skirt, but Shen Ying stopped her.
"Miss, please save our lady." The little girl cried and kowtowed.
Qin Nian, who was about to lose consciousness in pain, reluctantly opened her eyes. She really didn't want her to be so embarrassed. When Qin Yan saw her, Qin Nian bit her lip hard and said nothing.
Qin Yan smiled coldly, and then spoke softly:
"Send to the hospital, report officer."
Hearing this, Qin Nian suddenly gritted his teeth and opened his mouth. His voice was weak, full of pain and tension.
"You can't go to the hospital, you can't report to an official."
"Miss." The little maid didn't know, so the eldest lady let go and helped, and her own lady was still stubborn.
"You can't do that." Qin Nian seemed to have exhausted all his strength to say this.
Qin Nian knew very well that the severe pain in his lower abdomen and the sticky feeling under him were probably a miscarriage. But she can't go to the medical center, and she can't report to the official, otherwise the story of her unmarried pregnancy will be widely circulated, and it will be called the laughing stock of others after a meal.
The marriage with He Xiao will also become a dead end...
"You let me die..." Qin Nian wanted to provoke Qin Yan to leave, but the last thing she wanted to see at this moment was Qin Yan, her noble elder sister.
The whispers that others do not agree with:
"This lady really doesn't know what to do..."
"It's not..."
…
Qin Yan looked at Qin Nian and said coldly:
"Death is the easiest thing, you don't have the qualifications."
"You give me a good life, this life is still very long, and you have to experience a lot of interesting things."
"Shen Ying, go do it." Qin Yan arranged it neatly.
Qin Nian didn't know if it was pain or anger, but he fainted.
"Miss, Miss." The little maid knelt beside Qin Nian, she didn't know what to do.
Shen Ying immediately greeted Yu Qingfeng's people and carried Qin Nian into the carriage of the Qianzhuang. Qin Nian's little maid cried and got into the car and drove to the nearest hospital.
Qin Yan glanced at He Xiao who was stunned, turned around and left.
He Xiao's mood at the moment is very complicated. When he and Qin Nian were in the imperial garden, he could be sure that Qin Nian was a virgin. After that, the two quickly got engaged, and Qin Nian should not have an affair with others. If Qin Nian really had a miscarriage, this month... It should be his He Xiao's child in his stomach.
And Fang Cai, he actually killed his own child...
------
The next day, rumors spread in the city of Yangzhou that Qin Nian, the second miss of Zuo Xiangfu, was hit by an out-of-control carriage in the city and had a miscarriage. Miss Qin was pregnant before marriage, and it seemed that she was not carrying the child of her fiancé, He Xiao, the eldest son of the He family. …
But before the news was spread, another shocking news came out from Sanhe Town.
When His Royal Highness the Prince was inspecting the embankment built in Sanhe Town, he was assassinated, fell into the water and disappeared.
The news was sent back to Yangzhou from Sanhe Town at the fastest speed, and of course to Shangjing.
Chen Xun, the minister of military affairs, and Lin Hui, the governor of Yangzhou, immediately ordered people to go to Sanhe Town to search for the prince, but their search was fruitless.
In the capital, the news that the prince was assassinated and disappeared shook the court.
Over the years, the dominance of the prince's family seems to be finally broken.
University Shi'an House, study room.
An Shifeng had a secret conversation with An Wenjing and his son.
"Father, is it a pity to just give up the layout for many years?" An Wenjing still has some concerns about the next action.
An Shifeng understands that his son is more conservative and lacks courage, but he has also gone through two dynasties, and the storms he has seen have never been dangerous.
"Wengjing, just follow His Highness's instructions."
"In recent years, the implementation of His Royal Highness's decrees has been hindered many times, and some even stemmed from the Queen Mother of Shou'an Palace. These constraints must be broken."
"Whether or not the queen mother doubts whether the crown prince really has an accident, but the queen mother is addicted to power, she will not tolerate the prince not under her control, then she will definitely take action, instead of just passively waiting for the safety of His Royal Highness. information."
"This time, the Queen Mother must make a choice, so that the Queen Mother can be separated from Her Royal Highness, and let the officials swinging from side to side in the court, especially the old officials of the Queen Mother's faction, stand clearly."
"We just need to wait quietly, draw up the list, and wait for His Royal Highness to decide."
An Shifeng's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were wise and decisive.
"In case... Your Highness really has an accident..." An Wenjing still had some doubts.
An Shifeng glanced at his son and sighed in his heart, Wenjing still needs to be polished.
"There is no absolute thing in the world. We can only do our duty, do our best, and obey the destiny."
"But, Bunkyo, you have to understand one thing."
"Don't break, don't stand."
------
At the same time, another bad news came out of Sanhe Town, and signs of plague began to appear in the town.
Lin Hui, the governor of Yangzhou, was shocked. He had only been in office for two years, how could he have caught up with these life-threatening matters.
Sanhe Town is only a hundred miles away from Yangzhou City. If the plague spreads, the consequences will be disastrous.
Lin Hui immediately convened his colleagues to discuss countermeasures.
"Sanhe Town must be sealed. If the plague spreads, we won't have enough heads."
"But His Royal Highness may still be in Sanhe Town, this..."
"Even if His Royal Highness is still in Sanhe Town, it has to be sealed. What's more, is the Prince still alive..."
"What did you say, you're not afraid of losing your head?"
"It's too late to ask for instructions, this..."
"Lord Lin, the time is not for me, so I have to decide quickly."
…
At this time, Lin Hui's men came in:
"Sir, there is an urgent order from Beijing."
The man handed a letter in his hand to Lin Hui, who immediately opened it and browsed.
Lin Hui frowned, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
The second prince will go to Yangzhou to replace the prince and preside over the overall situation.
The subordinates whispered a few more words in Lin Hui's ear:
"My lord, the person who sent the letter also mentioned that it seems that the Queen Mother Xiao, who went to the capital, wants to support the second prince instead."
Lin Hui's pupils shrank, and after a while, he spoke to the hall:
"Sanhe Town is sealed."
------
Yangzhou City, Cangxi Forest.
Qin Yan stood in front of a desk in the garden, drawing a brush.
This painting was originally a picture of an autumn garden, but while it was being painted, a man in a dark robe appeared in the corner of the gallery pavilion.
Shen Ying, who was standing aside to wait for the pen and ink, was startled, that...it seemed...
Shen Ying glanced at her master with an inexplicable meaning. At this time, Qin Yan just had a meal in her hand, and she seemed to have found something wrong.
Qin Yan frowned, put down his pen, and turned around to clean his hands beside the desk.
At this time, Ji Nanfeng came over, and behind him, there was a tall man in an ink-colored robe, Qin Yan raised his eyes and was slightly startled.
"Master." Ji Nanfeng saluted.
"Yanyan." The man said warmly.
There was a hint of unnoticeable disappointment in Qin Yan's eyes, but it was instantly concealed.
"Kunyan."
Qin Yan understood that Gu Junyan came here because of her mother's business. After she cleaned her hands, she took the towel handed by Shen Ying, wiped her hands, and put them down.
"Go to the study." Qin Yan took a step, then stopped and turned around.
"Shen Ying, deal with that painting."
Shen Ying opened her mouth slightly, with a pity on her face.
Ji Nanfeng frowned and looked back at the painting on the table, but at this time Shen Ying had put it away.
The master's painting has never been abandoned. What's wrong with that painting?
------
In the study, Gu Junyan skipped the greeting and went straight to the topic.
"Yanyan, Aunt Ying had already arrived at the Yangzhou boundary, but the last news she came was that she was going to Sanhe Town first, but she lost the news in the past few days."
Qin Yan and Ji Nanfeng frowned when they heard the words.
Sanhe Town... The most seriously flooded place this time.
The prince disappeared in Sanhe Town.
Now, there seems to be a plague in Sanhe Town...
Qin Yan thought for a moment, and then spoke, his voice was as calm as ever.
"Mr. Ji, how confident are you about the plague?"
Ji Nanfeng understood that the master must have decided to take care of Sanhe Town.
Ji Nanfeng quickly sorted out his thoughts and said:
"It needs as many doctors, medicinal materials, clean water, food... As for the disease of the plague, we need to go to the scene to judge."
Qin Yan tapped the bookcase rhythmically with his fingertips and asked in a low voice:
"How much time do you need to prepare?"
Ji Nanfeng thought for a moment,
"Give me half a day."
Qin Yan was not surprised by the efficiency of his subordinate.
"Okay, we'll leave in half a day, we'll go to Sanhe Town."
