Chapter 483 Return to Beijing
As night fell, the post station fell into endless darkness.
In the darkness of the night, a thin figure carrying a food box walked to the backyard where the prisoners were guarded.
The guard saw someone approaching and stepped forward cautiously and shouted, "Who are you? Don't come near."
Zhou Xiangrong raised her head and said, "It was the Queen who asked me to bring them food. The Queen said that she would take them back to be punished. Before that, they must not starve to death."
These past few days, Zhou Xiangrong had been sitting in a carriage with Su Ying. Thinking that she was someone Su Ying trusted, he didn't think much about it and just let her go.
Zhou Xiangrong first put the food in the lunch boxes into other prison cars, and finally came to Wei Zhongming.
She put two steamed buns and a plate of side dishes in the car, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "My lord, we are going to Beijing tomorrow. Haven't you thought it through? In order to ensure that everything goes well, what else is there for you to hesitate about? Who else can you trust now besides me?"
Wei Zhongming clenched his teeth and said nothing.
Zhou Xiangrong was not in a hurry, and just said softly: "Since you have fallen into such a situation, why should you worry about the life and death of others?"
Wei Zhongming suddenly raised his head and said coldly: "You'd better keep me safe, otherwise you won't have a good life!"
"Don't worry, sir. I will never let you down."
Wei Zhongming looked around and made sure that the officers had not noticed this side before whispering to Zhou Xiangrong.
After hearing this, Zhou Xiangrong left with the lunch box in satisfaction.
As soon as she left, Su Ying and Xiao Jin came back.
The clerk at the post station prepared a sumptuous meal and sent it to Su Ying and the others after they returned.
"Zhou Qing, this is for you, take it." Su Ying took out a pearl flower and put it in Zhou Qing's hand.
Zhou Qing looked at Zhuhua with great surprise that the empress actually brought him something when she went out.
"Thank you, my lady."
Su Ying waved her hand nonchalantly and drank the pork rib soup in one gulp. "Go to bed early tonight, and go into the city as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow."
"yes."
At night, even though Su Ying was very tired, she couldn't sleep. She thought about the last time she left Beijing. It had been several months. She didn't know whether the children had gained weight, lost weight, or grown taller.
Xiao Jin has become so thin. What about Mother Zhao and the others? They must think she is dead. They must be feeling bad during this period.
As if he could sense her chaotic thoughts, Xiao Jin hugged her and comforted her softly, "Don't think too much, you'll see her tomorrow."
"kindness."
Su Ying closed her eyes, leaned in Xiao Jin's arms, and gradually fell asleep.
At this time, the news of Su Ying's return was also received in the capital.
But there are still many people who think it is fake. In their opinion, the possibility of surviving if you fall from that damn place is almost zero.
Almost everyone suspected that this so-called queen was created by a certain force in order to deceive the emperor, but the strange thing was that before dawn, the city gate was almost crowded with people.
Without exception, these people are all civil and military officials in disguise!
Although they didn't believe it, they were all curious about what kind of queen this was that dared to enter the palace so boldly. Wasn't she afraid of being discovered?
Before dawn, Su Ying was awakened by the noise in the post station.
She opened her eyes and found Xiao Jin had left. She rubbed her eyebrows, sat up, and stretched her muscles, making a noise for Zhou Qing to come into the house.
"Is there anyone outside?"
"Yes, I heard that it seems that the commander of the imperial guards has arrived."
Su Ying was not surprised that Jiang Yang came.
After washing up, Zhou Qing brought up breakfast.
There are not many styles, but the quantity is large.
Su Ying grabbed a bun and was eating it when she heard a familiar sound of footsteps outside the door. She looked up and saw Xiao Jin coming outside.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards have arrived with the Phoenix Chariot."
Such a big fuss?
Seeing the question mark in Su Ying's eyes, Xiao Jin nodded slightly at her. This was exactly what he wanted.
He wanted to let those who wanted Su Ying to die know that the queen who almost died for her country was still alive!
It doesn’t matter what happens, as long as I can return to Beijing.
After eating, Zhou Qing came in with a gorgeous phoenix robe and motioned Su Ying to change into it.
Since she is going to be a phoenix, she has to dress up well.
Su Ying opened her arms and let Zhou Qing play with her body. Finally, the matter was over after he put the heavy phoenix crown on her head.
She picked up the rouge on the dressing table and wanted to apply it on Su Ying, but Su Ying stopped her and said, "Save it." She was so young, with a rosy and shiny complexion, there was no need for her to apply these things. She just let Zhou Qing dot her lips with vermilion as a gesture.
After packing up, Zhou Qing lowered the pearl curtain on the phoenix crown and helped Su Ying walk out of the post station.
Jiang Yang, who was waiting outside the door, knelt down immediately and saluted when he heard the noise.
"Your subordinate greets Her Majesty the Queen."
Jiang Yang never doubted Su Ying's identity. Even though other people could be deceived, the emperor definitely would not.
"Get up."
The nonchalant and cold tone clearly indicated that it was the Empress.
Jiang Yang stood up, but still looked at Su Ying beyond the rules, but suddenly met Su Ying's half-smiling eyes. Jiang Yang understood from that look that the Queen was asking him if he was itching for trouble!
It’s definitely the empress herself!
"Your Majesty, please."
Su Ying turned her head to look and saw that it was a really big scene. All the guards from yesterday had been replaced, and they were all imperial guards. There was no end to the crowd as far as the eye could see.
Zhou Qing helped Su Ying onto the phoenix carriage. The phoenix carriage was very big, bigger than the carriage they had ridden in before.
Zhou Xiangrong walked out of the post station and looked at the magnificent and luxurious Fengluan with a look of fascination in her eyes. However, she quickly suppressed her emotions and pretended not to know and walked to the side of Fengluan and wanted to go up, but was stopped by the imperial guards.
"Who are you?"
Zhou Xiangrong subconsciously looked up at Su Ying and said, "I am serving the Empress." She wanted to get on the phoenix carriage.
Su Ying had good hearing, so even though she spoke softly, she still heard it.
"Miss Zhou is the daughter of Marquis Bo'an's mansion. How can she be someone who serves me? I don't need to serve you. Miss Zhou can just sit in the carriage at the back."
Zhou Xiangrong's face froze and he could only respond and walk towards the carriage behind.
Before getting on the carriage, she turned her head to look at Feng Luan, with a more determined look in her eyes.
The golden light broke through the clouds and shone right on Su Ying's phoenix carriage.
Jiang Yang jumped on his horse and ran to the front of the team, "Let's go."
The imperial guards were so large that when they passed through the surrounding cities and towns, the common people stood guard in amazement, wondering who could be so important as to warrant such a large crowd.
"This, this is Fengluan, Fengluan, is she the Queen?"
"Isn't the Queen already dead?"
"As long as the emperor doesn't announce the death, the queen is still alive!"
Otherwise, looking at the entire capital, is there anyone who is qualified to ride in such a phoenix carriage?
