Chapter 271: Who Was the Last Man?
After Cao Ying's reminder, Princess Shoukang and the others also thought that Su Shi was indeed going to Liao with Zhao Yan, which made them all scream in surprise, among them, Princess Shoukang stood up all of a sudden, ran to the front hall with her skirt, Cao Ying and Princess Bao'an also wanted to hear Zhao Yan's news earlier, but they were worried that Xue Ning'er would be inconvenient to walk, so they had to stay behind and help her.
Princess Shoukang trotted all the way along the corridor, and soon came to the front hall, as soon as she came in, she saw Su Shi, a great talent, was sitting there, and when she saw Princess Shoukang, Su Shi immediately stood up and saluted: "Minister Su Shi see Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”
"Where is the third brother? Why hasn't he come back yet? When can I come back? As soon as Princess Shoukang saw Su Shi, she immediately asked a series of questions anxiously.
Hearing Princess Shoukang's series of questions, Su Shi couldn't help but smile helplessly, he really didn't know how to answer these questions, but he had already prepared for coming to the county king's mansion, and immediately saluted again: "Princess Qiyu, the lower official came to send a letter from the county king, and asked the county princess to check it!" ”
"Hurry up and bring me the letter, I'm his sister, can't I read his letter?" Princess Shoukang directly stretched out her hand to ask for the truth, although Su Shi said that she asked Cao Ying to check, but in Princess Shoukang's opinion, her sister was more qualified to read the letter.
Su Shi had also heard of the character of the unruly princess in front of him a long time ago, and now he saw that it was really worthy of his name, and he didn't dare to offend the other party, so he had to take out the letter in his arms with a wry smile again and hand it to Princess Shoukang, but Princess Shoukang immediately tore open the envelope and looked at it, when she saw the ugly words on the letter. And when the letter was still written with charcoal, Princess Shoukang was obviously relieved, because she recognized Zhao Yan's ugly hand, and I am afraid that only Zhao Yan would use charcoal to write in the entire Great Song Dynasty.
At this moment, Cao Ying and Princess Bao'an also entered the palace with Xue Ning'er in their arms, and the three of them immediately surrounded Princess Shoukang to read the letter together, although the words on the letter were very ugly, but in Cao Ying's eyes, it looked like the most beautiful picture in the world, and all the previous worries were gone. Especially Cao Ying is even more breathing. With this letter, she can finally put her mind at ease.
Zhao Yan wrote a lot of things in this letter, first saying that he couldn't go back for the time being, and then he asked Cao Ying how they were doing. In particular, Xue Ninger should pay attention to some problems when she is pregnant. There are also some things going on at home. It can be said that the mother-in-law and mother are fragmentary, but Cao Ying and the others are very serious, when they see that they are mentioned in the letter. Even more excited, his face flushed.
When Su Shi saw this scene, he felt that it was really redundant for him to stay here, and he wanted to leave now, but he didn't feel very polite, so he had to sit down and wait for Cao Ying and the others to read the letter. It's just that no one showed up, Cao Ying's face suddenly changed after experiencing the initial excitement, and then carefully looked at the letter in Princess Shoukang's hand, and at the same time showed a somewhat puzzled expression in her eyes, but this doubt was fleeting and not noticed by others.
Finally, after everyone read the letter, Cao Ying, as the mistress of the palace, put the letter away with a smile, and then thanked Su Shi: "Thank you Su Jucheng for helping her husband bring the letter, but I don't know where my husband is now and when he can come back?" ”
Su Shi had already seen Zhao Shu before he came, so he naturally knew that he couldn't tell Cao Ying and the others the truth, so he smiled and said: "Princess Qiyu County, the prince of the county is now on Hebei Road, supervising the army with His Royal Highness King Ying, speaking of which, the rebellion of the Liao State is huge, Yelu Hongji died of injuries, and now his son Yelu Jun has succeeded to the throne, and it is inseparable from the rebels of Yelu Chongyuan, and in the end, no matter who can win on both sides, the impact on my Great Song Dynasty will be great, so I am afraid that the two highnesses will not be able to come back in a short time." ”
Hearing that Su Shi, who was on an envoy to Liao with Zhao Yan, also said the same, Princess Bao'an and the princesses naturally believed that Zhao Yan was on Hebei Road, and immediately began to ask Su Shi how Zhao Yan was doing, such as how his body was, whether he could eat on time every day and other small questions, but Su Shi was sweating profusely, although he had lived with Zhao Yan in Wanyan for several months, but for this kind of trivial matter, he didn't pay much attention to it at all.
Fortunately, at this time, Cao Ying suddenly smiled and said: "Su Jucheng must be tired after returning to Tokyo City all the way, and your family must be waiting for you to go back to reunite, so we won't keep you, and after the county king comes back in the future, he will come to the door to thank Su Jucheng!" ”
Hearing Cao Ying's send-off order, Su Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately stood up to say goodbye, Princess Bao'an They also knew that there was no man in the palace, so it was not good to keep Su Shi, so they could only send the other party away, but it was snowing outside, so Cao Ying asked Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang to help Xue Ning'er back to the inner house, and she took Mixue and other people to personally send Su Shi away.
However, just as Cao Ying and Su Shi came out of the main hall and came to the gate, Cao Ying suddenly asked the little bean sprouts and other people around her to retreat, leaving Mi Xue to serve alone, and then turned her head to stare at Su Shi, and said with a stern face: "Su Jucheng is lying, husband, he is not in Hebei at all, right?" ”
Hearing Cao Ying's words, Su Shi was taken aback, but soon laughed and said: "How could the princess of the county say that, when I came back, the prince of the county was still with His Royal Highness King Ying, and it was on Hebei Road, I can prove this!" ”
"Humph! Su Jucheng doesn't have to lie anymore! When Cao Ying said this, she took out Zhao Yan's letter from her sleeve and said, "This letter is indeed written by the husband himself, and it is also written with the charcoal pen he painted, but the quality of the paper is very poor, and it seems to be an old paper. ”
When Cao Ying said this, she pointed to the envelope again and said: "In addition, this envelope is new, but the words on it are not written by the husband, it seems that it should be added by Su Jucheng later, so when the husband wrote the letter, he couldn't even find an envelope around him, if the husband was really in Hebei, how could this happen?" ”
Su Shi saw that Cao Ying pointed out two loopholes in Zhao Yan's letter, and he was dumbfounded for a while, this family letter was written by Zhao Yan himself when he left Wanyan, but the conditions of Wanyan were extremely difficult, and he couldn't even find a pen and ink, fortunately, Zhao Yan was used to writing with charcoal, but paper was also a big problem, fortunately, Gu Tianjie was also a scholar, and there were some old papers that he brought at home, and Zhao Yan borrowed a few pieces to write a family letter, and the envelope was added by Su Shi after returning to the Great Song Dynasty, Unexpectedly, these two flaws were seen by Cao Ying at once.
"Alas, what the county king said is right, this letter may be hidden from others, but it can't be hidden from the county princess." At this time, I saw Su Shi suddenly sigh, and then took out another letter from his arms and said, "This is the second letter written by the county king, and the county king said that if the princess sees the flaws in the letter, she will hand over this letter to you!" ”
Looking at Zhao Yan's second letter, Cao Ying suddenly became afraid, because she was worried that there would be bad news on this letter, and she didn't dare to take the letter for a while, but after all, she was born in Jiangmen, and she had more courage than ordinary women, so she took a deep breath at the moment, and finally took the letter and opened it, and when she saw the content on it, she almost collapsed to the ground, but fortunately, there was Mixue around her to support her, so she didn't fall.
Zhao Yan's second letter is still very long, and it briefly introduces the process of his exile to the Jurchen Wanyan Department because of the rebellion of the Liao State, Cao Ying also saw these contents, and was almost fainted for a while, when Zhao Yan went out, he felt very uneasy, and he laughed at him for thinking too much, but he didn't expect Zhao Yan's trip to Liao to be far more dangerous than he expected, it can be said that he was in danger of dying several times, and if he knew this, he should not have been allowed to go to Liao State anyway.
However, the next content made Cao Ying breathe a sigh of relief, because Zhao Yan introduced the situation of the Wanyan Ministry, as well as the fact that the leader of the Wanyan Ministry hoped to get assistance from the Great Song Dynasty, Su Shi returned to the Great Song Dynasty this time to discuss the alliance, and as long as the news of the Great Song Dynasty agreeing to the alliance reached the Wanyan Ministry, Zhao Yan would not only completely get rid of the danger, but also become the guest of the Wanyan Ministry, and would never encounter danger again.
After reading the entire letter, Cao Ying finally calmed down slowly, turned her head to Su Shi again and asked, "Su Jucheng, when you left Yanbu, how was your husband doing, did he suffer a lot?" ”
"This princess can rest assured, although the conditions of Wanyan are very difficult, but she will not starve the county king, and there are several guards such as Zhou Tong, who also often go out hunting, and the county king has ...... by his side cough~" When Su Shi said the end, he almost told the matter of Yelusi, and then hurriedly said something, "The king of the county is taken care of by the maid arranged by the Wanyan Department, and although his usual life is not as comfortable as in Tokyo, it cannot be said that he is suffering." ”
"Oh? Is it? Cao Ying suddenly saw something from Su Shi's expression, then carefully looked at Zhao Yan's letter, and finally suddenly smiled and said, "The husband said in the letter, when you escaped from the Liao Kingdom in a hot air balloon, there were six people, except for Su Jucheng and Fujun, as well as Zhou Tong's three guards, so who was the last person?" ”
Hearing Cao Ying's question, Su Shi suddenly appeared one thing, that is, it doesn't seem to be a good thing to have a wife who is too smart, for example, like now, he hasn't said anything, and the princess of the county on the other side seems to have noticed something, which makes Su Shi not know how to answer at the same time, but also feels a little sad for Zhao Yan, no wonder the legend of Tokyo City is afraid of the king, put yourself in the shoes of the person, if you have such a smart wife as the princess of the county, I'm afraid it will not be much better.
