Ren Yaoqi slowly took a breath and forced himself to calm down: "When are you leaving?"
Xiao Jinglin helped Ren Yaoqi to sit down on the Nan Kang, and replied: "Immediately, wait for Hong Ying to mobilize the crew and leave."
Ren Yaoqi nodded, and wanted to ask again but didn't know what to ask. She hadn't experienced this kind of feeling of being without a master for a long time.
Thinking of what Xiao Jingxi had said when she left, Ren Yaoqi felt that she should believe in Xiao Jingxi and believed that he would come back all for her and her children.
Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi, feeling a little worried. If other women heard this kind of news, they would definitely cry, but Ren Yaoqi would not. It is precisely because Ren Yaoqi would not, Xiao Jinglin was even more worried, for fear that she would hold all emotions in her heart and hurt her body.
But she couldn't think of anything to comfort her now. With Ren Yaoqi's intelligence, any comforting words she said were useless. All she can do now is to pick up Xiao Jingxi as soon as possible and let him come back safely.
What Xiao Jinglin said was really fast. It didn't take long for Hong Ying to come back and return.
Xiao Jinglin thought for a while, and finally just put her hand on Ren Yaoqi's shoulder and said, "Don't worry."
Ren Yaoqi has calmed down at this moment, at least she is already half panicked. She raised her head and smiled at Xiao Jinglin and nodded: "Well, you should also pay attention to safety. I will wait for you to come back."
Xiao Jinglin nodded, got up and left.
After Xiao Jinglin left, Ren Yaoqi picked up a book she had placed on the Kang table and read it. She wanted to calm her mind, but after reading it for a long time, she found that she hadn't even turned half a page.
Ren Yaoqi gave a wry smile, finally put down the book, and removed the disguised calmness. She is just an ordinary woman, and she will feel uneasy for her husband who is in danger.
The situation in the north is complicated, and Xiao Jingxi’s whereabouts are unknown. Although Xiao Jinglin took people to meet him, Ren Yaoqi still has no way of rest assured.
Could she just sit here and wait for news from him? Ren Yaoqi has always believed that he can only obey the destiny after he has done everything. Although Xiao Jingxi is now a thousand miles away, and she is also detained in the inner courtyard of the palace, there are always things she can do.
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi stood up.
Apple, who was waiting carefully on the side, immediately came to support Ren Yaoqi: "Miss, what do you want?"
Ren Yaoqi said: "Go to the study."
Apple thought Ren Yaoqi wanted to go to the study to practice calligraphy and painting, but he didn't want Ren Yaoqi to go out.
There are two study rooms in Zhaoning Hall. Among the five rooms in the main hall, Xici is a small study room, which is used by Ren Yaoqi on weekdays. Sometimes Xiao Jingxi will accompany Ren Yaoqi to read and write here.
However, Xiao Jingxi also has a study room in the outer hall of Zhaoning Hall, where he usually handles official duties. The study that Ren Yaoqi said he was going to was the outer study.
Apple glanced at Ren Yaoqi, but still didn't say anything, quietly followed her to support her arm.
Xiao Jingxi never stopped Ren Yaoqi from going to his foreign study, but Ren Yaoqi rarely passed by himself. The rules that the inner house woman should abide by, she keeps so that people can't make mistakes.
Although Xiao Jingxi is not there, there are still people in his study. Those who stay behind are Xiao Jingxi's close attendants, Tongxi and Tonghe.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi's arrival, Tongxi and Tonghe politely stepped forward and called "Madam Young"
Ren Yaoqi nodded and asked, "Do you have the key to the study?"
Tongxi and Tonghe glanced at each other, and Tonghe bowed his head and said, "Mrs. Hui Shao, the little ones clean the study every day, and the keys are in the little ones."
"Then you help me open the door, I want to go in."
Tonghe glanced at Ren Yaoqi, thought about it, and finally took out the key without asking anything, and opened the door of the study behind him.
It stands to reason that Xiao Jingxi’s study is the place where official affairs are handled on weekdays. It is considered the most important place in the palace. When Xiao Jingxi is away, others should not be allowed in. Otherwise, if something happens, these attendants will lose their lives. All are light.
If someone else guarding the study today might not dare to let Ren Yaoqi in when Xiao Jingxi is away, but Tonghe has been by Xiao Jingxi’s side since he was a child, and has an extremely precise grasp of the master’s mind, so he Just thought for a moment and made a decision.
After Ren Yaoqi entered, Tonghe and Tongxi did not follow up to avoid suspicion. Only Apple followed in and waited.
Tongxi moved his lips and asked in a low voice, "Is this not compliant?"
Tong He raised his eyes and glanced at Tong Xi, and also moved his lips: "Why didn't you say when I opened the door?"
Tongxi blinked. He was originally the person who offered the royal mansion. He originally regarded Ren Yaoqi as the master. The master is destined. He can only obey, right?
Tonghe's face didn't change his face and gently moved his lips: "The master has confessed a long time ago. The young lady's order is his order. I just follow the order. The rules are no more important than the master's order."
Tongxi glanced at Tonghe, grinned, and honestly guarded the door for the master inside.
Tongxi and Tonghe used to talk with each other. They might not be able to hear them clearly when standing beside them, so Ren Yaoqi, who had already entered the study, naturally did not hear them.
After entering, Ren Yaoqi looked around, walked straight to the book case piled with official documents and sat down, and then turned over the official documents on the book case.
Although there are a lot of things on the book case, and there are piles of official documents, Xiao Jingxi is placed in a special way, so it is not messy, and Ren Yaoqi is not impatient, picking up a copy of the official document and reading it carefully.
Apple stood silently behind Ren Yaoqi, waiting silently.
Ren Yaoqi sat there for several hours. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Apple found a lampstand, lit a candle and placed it on the bookcase, and then walked out silently.
After a while, Apple brought in a tea tray and put it on the small table aside. On the tea tray was a chicken soup, a bowl of porridge, and a few small snacks.
"Miss, use something first."
Ren Yaoqi, who was thinking about a piece of paper, came back to her senses. Although she had no appetite, she thought of the child in her stomach, Ren Yaoqi did not ask Apple to persuade him to put down the things in her hand and walked to Xiaoji to sit down. I ate all the food I brought with the apple bit by bite, leaving only a few pieces of cakes.
After eating, Ren Yaoqi walked back and forth in the study, then sat down again behind the bookcase.
Ren Yaoqi got up and took the apple out of the study until the third watch rang outside.
Tongxi and Tonghe were still waiting outside. They originally wanted to go in and remind the master that it was late, and they didn't want the master to come out by himself.
After Ren Yaoqi left, Tongxi congratulated Tongxi: "Don't worry, the young lady knows what she is doing. She knows when she should eat and rest."
Ren Yaoqi did know in her heart that she was a physical person now, and would not use the child in her stomach to make her temper.
Ren Yaoqi sat in the study for several hours, and she didn’t get anything. She took a rest for one night, and the breakfast on the second day still used the usual weight, which made the princess worry about sending her to watch her dinner. The maid returned with satisfaction.
After Ren Yaoqi finished breakfast, he took Apple to the study.
Ren Yaoqi put together a few official documents that he found out yesterday, read it carefully again, and then thought about it.
From these official documents, Ren Yaoqi pieced together some clues. At this time, Ren Yaoqi was especially grateful to Mr. Pei. When he was studying with Mr. Pei that year, Emperor Pei liked her ability to analyze useful information from words the most. Sometimes a book can't give you the answer, but a few books together can find the answer.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a long time, then took out a blank letterhead from Xiao Jingxi's book case, and wrote a letter.
After writing, she sealed her mouth and Ren Yaoqi handed the letter to Apple: "Let Yuan Dayong go to the river and send this letter to my grandmother."
Apple accepted the letter with both hands and bowed its head in response.
After the two went out of the study, Apple called Leshan and Leshui to let them serve Ren Yaoqi, and hurriedly left with Ren Yaoqi's letter.
Ren Yaoqi took Leshan and Leshui to the Nine Sun Palace. She still remembered that the princess told her to let her walk around.
On that day, after Xiao Jinglin left the Yanbei Palace, she immediately left the city with her people and galloped northward.
After leaving Yunyang City for half a day and arriving in Sheng'an County, Xiao Jinglin stopped her horse suddenly and without warning.
The people Xiao Jinglin brought out this time were all her confidant elites. She stopped the horse and raised her hand. Everyone stopped, their movements were neat and uniform, and even the horse's hiss was neat.
"Princess? Do you want to rest on the spot?" Hong Ying tightened his horse's head and asked for instructions.
Xiao Jinglin wanted to rush to Wuzhou quickly. It stands to reason that she would not stop to rest at this moment.
Xiao Jinglin remained silent for a moment, and then whispered quietly: "You take them on the road, and I will meet you at the next resting place."
Hong Ying bowed her head and responded with a yes, and then made a gesture to the person behind, and the horse rushed out. A team of people followed, and no one glanced at Xiao Jinglin who had stopped aside.
After Xiao Jinglin and others had left, they turned their heads.
They did not walk on the official road, but a relatively spacious path. There was nothing on the way except the dust raised by the horse team passing by.
Xiao Jinglin said coldly: "I have followed all the way, come out."
There was still no movement in front of him, and Xiao Jinglin did not speak any more, but coldly looked at a mountain road intersection hidden behind the stone wall not far away.
After a while, there was finally movement there. One person and one horse emerged from behind the stone wall and walked out of the fork.
Is the time too short, or is my speed too scumbag?
Tears on his face... T_T
Please don't slap your face...
