Chapter 133 Trap
The wedding procession finally reached its end, and the sedan chair in front was no longer visible.
Xie Chengyan stared at the end of the team and suddenly thought of the time when he was in Jinling.
Xie Zhaochu's mother entered the palace late, and later her family suffered a sudden change. Her father made false accounts in the Ministry of Revenue, and she became the daughter of a criminal overnight. At that time, Xie Zhaochu's mother had just given birth to Xie Zhaochu, and was then taken to the cold palace by the palace people.
The Cold Palace was located in the northwest corner of the Imperial Palace. Although it was also within the Inner Palace, it was so far away from Xie Zhaochu's residence that Xie Zhaochu had never met her mother. At that time, all the concubines in the palace already had children, and none of them would be willing to raise a young princess. Therefore, Xie Zhaochu was raised by the palace maids from a young age.
Later, when the nanny left the palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs assigned her a young maid who had just entered the palace. That maid was the saint Chen Ying who had escaped from southern Xinjiang that year and was later killed in the Jinling Palace by the high priest Feng Qi of southern Xinjiang.
Unlike Xie Zhaohe, Xie Zhaochu had not received the same training as Xie Zhaohe, and she also thought that she did not have the same talent as Xie Zhaohe. She had always been an insignificant existence in the palace. The servants in the palace also treated people according to their status. Xie Zhaochu had no backing, so naturally no one took her seriously.
If the young master of Southern Xinjiang, Helian Qi, is truly a trustworthy person, then it might be a good choice for Xie Zhaochu to go to Southern Xinjiang.
The wedding procession gradually moved further and further away, finally disappearing from their sight. As the sun shone on them, Xie Zhaochu had already left with the wedding procession, embarking on a path he had never imagined in his childhood.
This road was extremely important to Yin State and Southern Xinjiang, and to Xie Zhaohe and Pei Yuanzhong. Xie Zhaochu, across the bridal sedan, took one last look at the place where he had lived for eight years, and suddenly realized that with his status and position, he could actually become such a crucial link.
I don't know whether to be afraid or happy.
The area where the wedding procession passed was bustling with activity. The common people, ignorant of the court struggles, only knew that the eldest princess's marriage would bring a stable future to the Yin Kingdom. Consequently, many people lined the streets to see the eldest princess off. Guards lined both sides of the avenue, a scene reminiscent of a general heading out to war. In a corner of the alley, a young girl, wearing a veiled hat and bowing her head, crouched beside a breakfast stall, following the vendors who had set up their stalls at the morning market. Jars of various sizes were displayed on the stall in front of her, but they were all sealed, preventing passersby from seeing what was inside.
Some people were curious and came over with their hands in their pockets to ask, but she dismissed them outright, making them roll their eyes at her and leave.
The woman watched the people coming and going at the morning market and grew suspicious. Her master had clearly said that Master Pei liked to come here every morning to eat steamed buns. Why was he still nowhere to be seen at this hour?
As he was thinking about it, he really saw a man in a brocade robe happily entering this path. Pei Song came from a good family, so his clothes were made of high-quality material, but because he was an idiot, his clothes were always stained with saliva, making him look very sloppy.
Pei Song asked the shopkeeper for a tray of steamed buns. The aroma of the buns made his mouth water unconsciously. He found a place and was about to eat big mouthfuls of them when he suddenly heard a woman's voice not far away: "Come and take a look, these are things sent from other places. If you don't like them, you can get them for free!"
