Scheme of the Official Descendant

Chapter 514 The Woman Behind

Ren Yaoqi took a slow breath and forced herself to calm down: "When are you leaving?"

Xiao Jinglin helped Ren Yaoqi to sit down on the Nankang, and replied: "Immediately, I will leave when Hongying gathers people."

Ren Yaoqi nodded, wanted to ask again but didn't know what to ask, she hadn't felt this kind of feeling of ignorance for a long time.

Thinking about what Xiao Jingxi said when he left, Ren Yaoqi felt that she should trust Xiao Jingxi and believe that he would come back for her and the child.

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, and because of Ren Yaoqi's inability, Xiao Jinglin was even more worried, fearing that she would keep all her emotions in her heart and hurt her body.

But now she can't think of any words to comfort her. With Ren Yaoqi's intelligence, it's useless for her to say anything to comfort her. All she can do now is to meet Xiao Jingxi as soon as possible and let him come back safely.

What Xiao Jinglin said was really fast, Hongying came back to her life not long after.

Xiao Jinglin thought for a while, and finally put her hand on Ren Yaoqi's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry."

Ren Yaoqi has calmed down now, at least she didn't seem to be flustered anymore, 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 casually picked up a book she had placed on the kang table to read, trying to calm down her mind, but after reading it for a long time, she found that she hadn't even turned half a page.

Ren Yaoqi smiled wryly, and finally put down the book, and let go of her pretense of calmness. She is just an ordinary woman, and she can feel restless and restless because of her husband who is in deep danger.

The situation in the north was complicated, and Xiao Jingxi's whereabouts were unknown. Although Xiao Jinglin brought people to meet him, Ren Yaoqi still couldn't feel completely at ease.

Could she just sit here and wait for news from him? Ren Yaoqi has always believed that only after doing her best can she obey the destiny. Although Xiao Jingxi is thousands of miles away now, and she is also detained in the inner courtyard of the palace, there are always some things she can do.

Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi stood up.

Apple, who was waiting carefully at the side, immediately came over to support Ren Yaoqi: "Miss, what do you want?"

Ren Yaoqi said: "Go to the study."

Apple thought that Ren Yaoqi wanted to go to the study to practice calligraphy and painting, but he didn't want Ren Yaoqi to go out instead.

There are two study rooms in Zhaoning Hall, the Xici Room among the five rooms in the main hall is a small study room, which is used by Ren Yaoqi on weekdays, and sometimes Xiao Jingxi will accompany Ren Yaoqi to read and write here.

But Xiao Jingxi also has a study room, which is in the outer hall of Zhaoning Hall, where he handles official business on weekdays. The study room that Ren Yaoqi said she was going to was this outer study room.

Apple took a look at Ren Yaoqi, but still didn't say anything, quietly followed her and held her arm.

Xiao Jingxi never stopped Ren Yaoqi from going to his study, but Ren Yaoqi rarely went there himself. She kept the rules that women in the inner house should abide by so that no one could find fault.

Although Xiao Jingxi was not there, there were still people staying in his study, and the people staying behind were Xiao Jingxi's close attendants Tong Xi and Tong He.

Seeing Ren Yaoqi coming over, Tong Xi and Tong He respectfully stepped forward to salute and called "Young Madam"

Ren Yaoqi nodded and asked, "Do you have the key to the study?"

Tong Xi and Tong He looked at each other, Tong He bowed his head and said: "Mrs. Hui, the young ones have to clean the study every day, and the key is in the young one's hand."

"Then open the door for me, I want to go in."

Tong He glanced at Ren Yaoqi, thought for a while, 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 business is handled on weekdays. It is regarded as an important place in the palace. When Xiao Jingxi is away, no one should be allowed in. Otherwise, if something happens, their servants will lose their lives. All light.

Anyone else guarding the study room today might not dare to let Ren Yaoqi in when Xiao Jingxi is away, but Tong He has been serving Xiao Jingxi since childhood, and he has an extremely accurate grasp of the master's mind, so he After thinking for a moment, he made a decision.

After Ren Yaoqi went in, Tong He and Tong Xi didn't follow up to avoid suspicion, only Apple followed in to serve.

Tong Xi moved his lips and asked in a low voice: "Is this against the rules?"

Tong He raised his eyelids and glanced at Tong Xi, then also moved his lips: "Why didn't you say it when I opened the door?"

Tong Xi blinked his eyes. He was originally the person who offered to the palace, and he regarded Ren Yaoqi as his master. The master has orders, so he has to obey, right?

Tong He moved his lips slightly without changing his face: "The master has explained it a long time ago, the young lady's orders are his orders, and I just follow orders. No matter how important the rules are, they are not as important as the master's orders."

Tong Xi glanced at Tong He, grinned, and honestly guarded the door for the master inside.

Tong Xi and Tong He talked with their mouths, and standing next to them might not be able to hear clearly, so Ren Yaoqi, who had already entered the study, naturally didn't hear it.

After Ren Yaoqi entered, he looked around, let him go straight to the desk full of official documents and sat down, then flipped through the official documents on the desk.

Although there were a lot of things on the desk and piles of official documents, Xiao Jingxi placed them in a different manner, so it was not messy. Ren Yaoqi was not in a hurry, so he picked up the official documents and read them carefully.

Apple quietly stood behind Ren Yaoqi, waiting on him without saying a word.

Ren Yaoqi sat there for several hours, seeing that the sky was getting dark, Apple found a lampstand, lit a candle, put it on the desk, and then retreated out without a sound.

After a while, Apple came in with a tea tray and put it on a small table beside it. In the tea tray was a chicken soup, a bowl of porridge, and a few plates of snacks.

"Miss, use something first."

Ren Yaoqi, who was thinking about a piece of paperwork, came back to her senses. Although she had no appetite, but thinking of the child in her stomach, Ren Yaoqi put down the things in her hand and went to the small table to sit down, without asking Apple to persuade her again. He ate all the food brought by Apple one bite at a time, leaving only a few pieces of pastry.

After eating, Ren Yaoqi walked back and forth in the study, then sat down behind the desk again.

It wasn't until the third watch drum sounded outside that Ren Yaoqi got up and left the study with the apple.

Tong Xi and Tong He were still waiting outside. They originally wanted to go in to remind the master that it was getting late, and they didn't want the master to come out by himself.

After Ren Yaoqi left, Tong Xi congratulated Tong Xi, "Don't worry, Young Madam knows what she's doing, and she knows when it's time to eat and rest."

Ren Yaoqi really knows that, she is a healthy person now, and she will not use the child in her belly to make her angry.

Ren Yaoqi sat in the study for several hours, but she didn't get anything. She rested for one night, and the breakfast on the second day still used the usual portion, which made the princess worry about the big man who was sent to watch her eat. The maid went back satisfied.

And Ren Yaoqi took Apple to the study after finishing her breakfast.

Ren Yaoqi put together the few official documents she found yesterday, read them carefully again, and then became thoughtful.

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, Emperor Pei liked to test her ability to analyze useful information from words. Sometimes a book cannot give you the answer, but several books together can find the answer.

Ren Yaoqi thought for a long time, then took out a blank letterhead from Xiao Jingxi's desk, and wrote a letter with a pen.

After finishing writing, Ren Yaoqi handed the letter to Apple: "Let Yuan Dayong go to the river and deliver this letter to my grandmother."

Apple took the letter with both hands, bowed his head and accepted it.

After the two left the study, Apple called Leshan and Leshui to serve Ren Yaoqi, and hurried away with Ren Yaoqi's letter.

Ren Yaoqi took Leshan and Leshui to Jiuyang Hall, and she still remembered what the princess told her to take a walk if she had nothing to do.

That day, after Xiao Jinglin left the Yanbei Prince's Mansion, she immediately left the city with her people and galloped all the way north.

Half a day after leaving Yunyang City and arriving in Sheng'an County, Xiao Jinglin suddenly stopped her horse without warning.

This time Xiao Jinglin brought out all her confidants and elites. She stopped the horse and raised her hand, and everyone stopped. Their movements were uniform, and even the neighing of the horse was uniform.

"Princess? Do you want to rest where you are?" Hongying pulled the horse's head tightly and asked for instructions.

Xiao Jinglin wanted to hurry to Wuzhou, and it stands to reason that she wouldn't stop to rest right now.

Xiao Jinglin was silent on the spot for a moment, and then said softly: "You take them and continue on your way, and I will meet you at the next resting place."

Hongying bowed her head and said yes, then gestured to the people behind, and galloped out at the head of the horse. A group of people followed, but no one took a look at Xiao Jinglin who was standing aside.

After Xiao Jinglin and the others left, they turned their horses around.

What they took was not an official road, but a relatively spacious path, and there was nothing on the road except the dust raised by the horses passing by.

But Xiao Jinglin said coldly: "I have followed all the way, come out."

There was still no movement in front of her, Xiao Jinglin didn't speak any more, she just looked coldly at a mountain road intersection not far away hidden behind the stone wall.

After a while, there was finally movement there, one person and one horse appeared from behind the stone wall and walked out from the fork.
