Chapter 833 Peony Chrysanthemums of Yikun Palace
The heavy rain in Kyoto stopped completely on the sixteenth day.
The sky cleared up, and the bright sunshine evaporated the moisture and negative energy in the air, making people feel unprecedented warmth and comfort.
Everyone in Kyoto City walked out of their houses. They had stayed at home for half a month. Not only were their houses moldy, but they themselves were also moldy. If they didn't get some sun, they would probably grow hair!
Baili Moqing left the city overnight yesterday and headed for the northern border. Before leaving, he went to see Zhu Heng.
Shu He didn't know what they talked about, but based on her understanding of Baili Moqing, she probably thought it was related to the emperor's edict of repentance.
No one knew about Baili Moqing's departure. After all, without the emperor's order, the princes could not leave the capital at will. However, the border of Tianqi was in danger now, and he could not wait for the emperor's order.
He wanted to take everything she taught him to the national defense army on the northwest border, so that the four nations could see the true strength of Tianqi! !
--------
Baili Rushu ran out of the palace early in the morning. When she appeared in front of Shu He, she was dressed as a man and carrying a lot of bags on her back.
"Sister-in-law Qi, which army did Nanqi join?"
Shu He was stunned for a moment, "You are..."
Baili Rushu's tears instantly fell. "Yesterday, Eunuch Liu came to deliver the imperial decree, saying that the emperor agreed to the marriage proposal from Yunlai Kingdom, and that this time, Yunlai will not send anyone to pick up the bride. Instead, they will ask Tianqi to send her over directly!"
Shu He: “…”
"Doesn't that mean we, Tianqi, have to beg them, Yunlai, for a marriage alliance?" Shu He was speechless. What was the emperor thinking?
After hiding in the palace for half a month, you've learned to be a coward?
"Sister-in-law Qi, the wedding procession will depart tomorrow, and Meng Fang will lead the team himself! I can't go with the marriage, and I don't want to go to Yunlai!"
"Sister-in-law Qi, tell me where Nanqi is. I'll go find him. I don't want to be a princess anymore. I never want to return to the palace in this life!"
Shu He could see that Baili Rushu was really scared. After all, this time, they were going directly to Yunlai, and there was no time for her to think of a solution.
"But they're going to fight. If you go, I'm afraid it will distract them..."
Nanqi and Xizhu had already left Kyoto the day after news of the Four-Nation Alliance reached them, heading for the northwest and northeastern regions. Even Jiang Dongping didn't have time to go to Jianghu to find Zhang Zhirou, but was urgently rushed back to the Jiangdong Army by Baili Moqing.
If Baili Moqing hadn't promised that he would tell Zhang Zhirou the news of his rejection of the marriage proposal, I'm afraid he would still be hesitant and unwilling to return to the Jiangdong Army!
"Sister-in-law Qi, Dongfang Kui died in our Tianqi! Can you imagine what kind of suffering I would have to endure if I went to Yunlai? Sister-in-law Qi, do you want to watch your sister being sent to Yunlai and die there?"
"Of course I didn't mean that!" Shu He patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you with the marriage! However, Nanqi is going to the battlefield, it's very dangerous, you can't go!"
"Seventh Sister-in-law!!"
"Don't be willful. Go back to the palace first. Do whatever the emperor asks you to do. Even if you have to follow the wedding procession out of the city, don't be afraid. I will make all the arrangements!"
"Seventh sister-in-law...?"
Seeing that she was still hesitant, Shu He squeezed her hand and said, "Eleven, don't you believe me?"
"Of course not..." She believed her, but she still didn't want to go back to the palace. She always felt that once she went back, she would never be able to escape her fate of marrying a foreign prince.
"Eleven, you know, the princess's disappearance is a serious matter. If you sneak out, the palace will definitely find out. They'll even lock down Kyoto and conduct a large-scale search! You can't get away!"
Baili Rushu's face turned pale, fear flashing in her eyes, "Then, what should I do? If my father catches me, he will definitely beat me to death!"
When Eunuch Liu came yesterday, he said that his father attached great importance to this marriage and told her not to think about running away, otherwise, he would break her legs and send her to Yunlai!
My father has been in a very bad mood recently. Every concubine who went to show his courtesy was either killed or sent to the cold palace. I don't know how many of the palace maids and eunuchs who served him were also punished.
During this period, the people in the palace have been in a state of panic.
She had never seen her father so cold and irritable, and she didn't dare to meet him.
"Don't worry, just listen to me. Even if the emperor sends you away tomorrow, I will find a way to rescue you!"
"Nanqi is heading to the Jiangdong Army, and the situation there is also very critical. When the time comes, you will go to Anzhou first and find Yi'er and the others. After the risk to Tianqi is over, I will send someone to send you to find Nanqi."
"Is this okay?"
Shu He promised her, but afraid that she didn't believe it, she also told her about her future plans.
Baili Rushu has always admired and trusted Shu He. Although she didn't know how she could help him leave the palace, since she said it, there must be a way!
"Okay!" She wiped her tears and agreed happily.
It’s just a matter of seeing Nanqi a few days later, she can wait!
At this time, Xuan Feng's voice sounded outside, "Princess, someone outside has delivered a letter."
Shu He read the letter and his expression changed slightly.
Putting the letter at her waist, she looked at Baili Rushu and said, "I'm going to the palace soon. Come back with me."
Although reluctant, Baili Rushu quickly nodded and agreed.
Shu He went to the palace to see the Queen. The palace had indeed discovered that Baili Rushu was missing and was searching the entire palace. If Shu He did not have the token given by the Queen, she would not have been able to enter the palace.
As soon as I entered the palace, I met Meng Fang and the imperial guards searching everywhere.
Shu He said a few words to Meng Fang, and then he took Baili Rushu back to her own palace quietly.
The princess reappeared, martial law was lifted, and peace returned to the palace.
When I came to the Queen's Yiku Palace again, it had become very different.
There are no Buddha statues, no Buddha incense, and no longer any Buddhist temples.
All things related to Buddha were cleared out, and even the air became much cleaner and fresher.
Aunt Wu took Shu He through the front hall and came to the courtyard garden of Yiku Palace. The queen was trimming a yard of purple-blue peonies in the garden.
Shu He had never seen such a scene before. The yard was full of large chrysanthemums blooming, with blue and purple colors complementing each other, like a dream.
She had never known that such a large field of peonies and chrysanthemums was planted in the courtyard of the Yikun Palace! Moreover, it was not yet the flowering season for the peonies and chrysanthemums, but these flowers were still blooming so beautifully.
However, her shock wasn't over yet;
She looked to the left and saw a large area of multi-colored chrysanthemums in the garden on the other side.
White background with red tips, white background with green tips, and other various deep and light colors are dazzling and shocking.
