Chapter 62 Travel

The Ming Palace has a luxurious horse carriage specially used for the emperor's travel, with all the honors. It was something left by the former Tang Dynasty and then some changes were made.

However, Xue Chongxun has never been on this thing. He also left the palace when he sent Du Xian to the military parade at Mingde Gate, but he was just riding a horse.

This time, Sun went to Huaqing Palace to recuperate, but Xue Chongxun did not use the very eye-catching carriage, but chose the old pine wood car he had brought back from Shanzhou that he used to take. The person who drove the car was still Pang Er.

In some aspects, Xue Chongxun is really a nostalgic person. Perhaps he is used to old things and old people. Household slaves like Pang Er can always give him a feeling of relaxation when they are around him.

Because Sun was pregnant, Princess Taiping and Xue Chongxun were both ready to rest as she was ready, and a thick layer of cotton and fur was also laid in the carriage, which did not prevent the bumps from affecting the fetus in the abdomen.

Also accompanying him was a respected old imperial physician, Dr. Zhou. He was a well-known and experienced doctor. He had been an official in the dynasty for two generations of Tang and Jin dynasties. He was a veteran of the five dynasties according to the number of emperors. Whether it was the power struggle in the temple or the various conspiracies of the palace, he had never been involved. His ability to pretend to be deaf and dumb was perfect. In addition, his hair was all white and his old look was even more like the real one.

Princess Taiping sent this imperial physician to accompany the Huaqing Palace to consider it.

There are also a midwife and a few close servants of Princess Taiping of Chengxiang Palace. These people were sent to serve Sun's daily life.

The guards escorted by Xue Chongxun were only fifty cavalry led by Li Kuiyong, and the group seemed relatively low-key because they were not big.

Huaqing Palace is only a few dozen miles away from Chang'an, and it is also in the Guanzhong area. There is no need to bring too many troops, so it is of little use.

At this time, if dozens of people gather, they may be punished for treason. If they want to be beheaded, there is basically no force that can pose a threat to the army. If there are too many people, it will attract attention.

After leaving the palace, Xue Chongxun was a little worried about the assassin, mainly because of his many grudges between public and private, but the possibility is not high. After all, he rarely leaves the palace, and even if there are enemies who dare to hold grudges, there is no way to predict that he will be traveling today.

The most reliable thing to guard against assassins is the weapon at hand, so Xue Chongxun wore a sword to decorate it. The other most reliable thing is to bring Sanniang with him.

After getting ready, a team of people left the palace from Xuanwu Gate to the north and passed through Longshouyuan to the city.

The cavalry of the Flying Tiger Regiment protected the front and back, and there were knights who were broken into pieces on the left and right of the convoy in the middle.

There were five or six cars in total. Compared with the car that Xue Chongxun and the three others were riding in, the old and inconspicuous.

Not many people know about Sun's pregnancy. Apart from Princess Taiping's close servants, Xue Chongxun only knew about him and Yuwen Ji, and even Sanniang didn't know about it.

The saying in the palace this time is that Sun is sick and wants to go to Huaqing Palace to recuperate.

As for Xue Chongxun's personal escort, it is unnecessary to explain that Sun is the emperor's mother-in-law, and it is not uncommon to send it to him.

The plan was to let Yuwen Ji declare that Li Yan'er was pregnant for several months and was sent to Huaqing Palace to take care of her baby. After giving birth, she naturally became the queen's child.

This statement can be justified, and even if someone may be suspicious, he will not dare to say it randomly. If the private matters related to the queen are found out, they will die miserably.

Perhaps there are many unverifiable legends in unofficial history, so that doesn’t matter. Since ancient times, there are many unofficial history, and without formal historical materials, it is just a story that cannot be found.

Wu Zetian still has many unsightly unfathomable histories in his lifetime.

Although Sanniang was not told the whole story, she could see that it was a bit abnormal for them now.

That look...

Especially when Sun's eyes looked at Xue Chongxun, how could it be an ordinary relative?

Although the two of them didn't say anything and looked very serious, Sanniang only hated that she was not blind because of the feeling of love between her eyebrows and eyes.

She felt very embarrassed. She was told to accompany her to protect Xue Chongxun's safety. She got in the car without thinking too much, but now she regrets sitting here.

It would be even more embarrassing to say that you would get off the car and avoid it. Sanniang had to hold it in without expression.

Xue Chongxun knocked on the carriage and said: Pang Er, hurry up and don’t be rushing, so be steady.

Pang Er said, "He is a relatively honest and a little silly person. He doesn't care about the etiquette of the emperor's Q&A. Regardless of whether Xue Chongxun is the prince or the emperor, he still calls him a master and servant relationship.

However, others envied Pang Er for this. Those who have not changed their words are old people from the Jin Palace for many years, and no one can touch them.

Sanniang picked up a corner of the bamboo curtain, turned her head to look outside, pretending to look at the scenery, but she didn't have an expression at this time, but she felt extremely unnatural in her heart.

She never wanted to possess Xue Chongxun, and she would not be disgusted with him and other women, but she instinctively felt that this situation was embarrassing.

Even if Xue Chongxun possessed her and did something difficult to say, she was so inferior that she could not ask for anything. She always felt that this man belonged to her. He had everything at his disposal and could give a satisfactory price.

Maybe Sanniang is only suitable to hide in a corner like now, and she doesn't want to be noticed by anyone. However, on the night a few years ago, Xue Chongxun's protection did inadvertently reveal her weak instinct, so she slowly invaded her heart, and she saw the other side of people's lives through this person...

daytime.

She was just seeing the world and never felt that there was anything she had.

Xue Chongxun glanced at Sanniang and was indeed used to her appearance.

Besides, it was hard for him to ask Sanniang to get off the car and ride a horse, so even if he wanted to comfort Sun, he couldn't do it too obvious.

He really felt a little apologized for this kind of thing. When Li Yan'er was pregnant, he was fighting outside, and this time he had to let Sun hide alone outside Chang'an City.

Sun's attached eyes made Xue Chongxun feel even more confused. He still had some human feelings, and he was not completely numb.

He understood that Sun needs him very much now.

In fact, with his current family business and power, many people need him to live, and at least he can guarantee vested interests. He is also willing to give to these people and even do things that are not profitable for the world.

Xue Chongxun is indeed not a selfish person in this way.

The carriage is neither big nor narrow, two are facing each other, and a shorter table is placed in the middle.

Xue Chongxun reached out from the next few cases. Sun looked at Sanniang and reached out to him with some hesitation. Finally, the nails of the two met, and Sun's shoulders trembled slightly.

Xue Chongxun grabbed her with his big hand. Although his hands were a little rough, they were always warm. Even winter was no exception and had never had frostbite.
