Chapter 764: The Road to Hejian
A convoy was driving on the official road. The carriage in the middle of the convoy had a gorgeous decoration. Just by looking at it, you can immediately see the extraordinaryness of the carriage owner. Especially there are some specifications that ordinary people cannot use, and they can only be used by the royal family.
A discerning person can see that the owner of this carriage should belong to the royal family. Although he is very curious, no one dares to explore who is sitting in the carriage.
All of this is that next to the carriage, there were hundreds of cavalry guards. More than a hundred cavalry guards were on both sides and followed the carriage slowly. When they looked at the pedestrians who were exploring their psychology, they immediately turned their eyes away, and they didn't even dare to look at them, for fear of violating any taboos in the next moment.
In the carriage, a beautiful old woman with a look of old appearance could still be seen sitting on the carriage collapse. The clothes she wore were of ordinary color, but still showed extraordinary texture.
The inside of the carriage was very spacious, so spacious that she sat alone in it, which seemed a little empty. At her hand, there was a small desk table with a few small snacks on it, so that the old woman could have a few snacks when she was hungry.
She was Empress Dowager Dong who was heading for her hometown in Hejian. She was in a carriage. Even though she knew she was going to her hometown in Hejian, she did not feel any excitement as she was closer to her hometown. Instead, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, which was slowly spreading and becoming stronger and stronger.
This time she returned home was not entirely due to her original intention. If she really wanted to go back to her hometown, it shouldn't be at this moment, before her son was buried. But she had to leave, and no matter how unwilling she would have to leave.
In the current palace, it is entirely the world of He's woman. He asked her to leave, but she had to leave. But she still didn't want to leave, but in the end she got on the carriage back to her hometown.
Around her, there was only a palace maid who had served in the palace for a long time. The other palace maids and eunuchs were sent by He to serve her. When she left the palace, many eunuchs and palace maids who had served her for a long time came to come and return to Hejian with her, but they were rejected by He for various reasons.
Now, except for the old palace maid sitting outside, Empress Dowager Dong has no one to know here. Although the eunuchs and palace maids served her very diligently when they stopped to rest and could not pick up any pricks at all, Empress Dowager Dong's uneasiness still did not ease.
She knew very well that woman from the He family. She also opposed her extremely when she wanted to make He family queen afterwards. However, it was useless. He family became the lord of the palace and the queen of the mother in the world.
I thought everything would develop in a good way, and He also gave birth to a prince, who was the legitimate eldest son. At that time, Empress Dowager Dong was very happy. Compared to other things, maintaining the continuation of the royal bloodline, the most important thing is to maintain the orthodoxy of the royal family.
But she didn't expect that the next series of things would not only not get better, but instead became worse.
First, the emperor favored Wang Meiren, and then Wang Meiren gave birth to a child and gave birth to a prince. At this time, she was also happy. The more princes, the more royal family would grow.
What happened next was completely beyond her expectations. He actually killed Beauty Wang in the palace! Although He was too cunning later, only she could do this, and no one else had the ability or means.
Although he knew it, it was useless. With He in the harem, her brother He Jin was in the previous dynasty and was able to depose the queen. So later, the emperor poured all his love for Wang Meiren into the prince born by Wang Meiren.
This incident caused He's jealousy, which eventually led to the emperor having to send Xie'er to her to raise her. She also liked her grandson very much. She thought that such a life would continue, but she did not expect that all the tranquility would be broken as Xie'er grew older and older.
Even if she was unable to protect her young Xie'er, she would give him a mansion outside the palace and let him live there. Only in this way can she stay away from the palace, away from the danger here, and away from the dangerous woman of He's family.
"Oh..." Empress Dowager Dong sighed, feeling a little helpless.
From Liu Hong's death to Liu Xie's disappearance, she felt more and more aging. She felt a little overwhelmed when she did anything.
The car window next to it was carried by the wind to reveal a gap. Queen Mother Dong could see through the gap and see the cavalry guarding next to her.
She really can't say what kind of feeling she would feel about these cavalrymen. If she talks about it according to her true feelings, she would not feel at ease, but would be more uneasy.
She knew that these cavalry were not the Yulin Army, and there was no sign of the Yulin Army from their bodies and the armor they were wearing. It was precisely this that she became uneasy and had such serious uneasiness.
She believed that the He family sent these cavalrymen to say that there were bandits on the road to protect themselves, but in fact, the meaning of surveillance of herself was even more serious. But Empress Dowager Dong had no choice. When she was in the palace, she could not go out and could not contact the court officials outside. The same is true here now, and no one can contact him. The one who was loyal to her was just a palace maid.
What can a palace maid do in this situation? Nothing can be done. The only thing she can do is to accompany herself to slightly reduce the fatigue caused by the journey.
Queen Mother Dong just wants to go back to her hometown Hejian, and then go to Hejian to see what can be done to expose the true face of He, the poisonous woman. This woman is so scary that she can't help but feel secretly shocked.
She felt that the emperor's death was a little strange. Although the emperor was in very bad health during that period, the situation was developed in a better way by the imperial doctor. Including her, a few days before the emperor passed away, when the emperor was awake, she went to visit the emperor, but she did not expect that the emperor passed away in just a few days later!
At that time, she was a little suspicious, suspecting that this was done by the woman He. This was just a guess, and the more important reason was that Empress Dowager Dong could not believe that the woman He could really be so crazy.
"Empress Dowager, it's getting dark. Will you stay in the inn in front tonight?" Outside the carriage, the palace maid's inquiry came.
Queen Mother Dong rubbed her temples. Although it was not bumpy in the smooth carriage, she felt more tired. There was a place to go for a rest, which was indeed a good choice. At least she could not continue like this in the carriage. She was a little breathless.
"Okay." said Empress Dowager Dong.
As the sun was about to set, the train arrived at an inn next to the official road and stopped. After the cavalry who protected the carriage showed their identities, they were treated with the highest standards of the inn. Everything was in order and there was no problem.
As soon as she arrived at the inn, Empress Dowager Dong went to the room to rest. Of course, the room she lived in had to be cleaned up by the palace maids in advance before she could move in. Empress Dowager Dong just needs to take a break now, first relieve her fatigue, and only then would choose to fall asleep after dinner later.
Before Empress Dowager Dong moved in, the entire inn had been searched by the guards. It was confirmed that there would be no danger before Empress Dowager Dong moved in. After confirming the danger, the cavalry all arranged warnings in various places, standing guards and resting, and only rotated after the agreed time.
Outside the inn, there were cavalrymen left to watch, paying attention to the movement outside. Even now in the official road, where the bandits were obviously calmed down, they did not dare to be careless, because the inn was Empress Dowager Dong lived in the inn. If there was any problem with her, everyone's heads could not continue to stay on their respective necks.
In addition to these cavalry, the eunuchs and palace maids who followed him also began to be busy and cleaned the inn. They didn't feel very good when they came, but when they arrived, they had to clean up the environment to the best state during the period when Queen Mother Dong came out.
The team also accompanied the imperial chef in the palace. There were also many raw materials that had been stored for a long time in the supplies. After letting people in the inn go to the nearby market to see what else can be purchased, the imperial chef would make a fire and cook. He did not have to be responsible for the food and drink of these palace maids and eunuchs. What he needed to be responsible for was the food and drink of Empress Dowager Dong, and he also had to achieve the best state under the current conditions.
Just looking at the configuration of this team, I can’t tell what Queen He is going to do. All of them are perfect. Including daily life, food and drink, they are strictly required by the palace standards.
The tired Empress Dowager Dong felt uneasy, but when nothing happened, she would only think that this uneasy was just an illusion.
After the carriage arrived at the inn and stopped, a group of cavalry rushed over on the official road in the distance, following the traces of the carriage. They were fast and moved forward in the night. Only the sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground sounded, and then the cavalry had already gone to a further position.
These cavalry were all black armored cavalry, and they kept a stance steadily on the bumpy horse's back. The details revealed were also the feeling that these cavalry were elite, because their speed was completely free from the horse and running at full speed, and it was not something that any cavalry could do.
The cavalry led the team revealed his true appearance under the moonlight.
Hua Xiong! It’s Hua Xiong! Dong Zhuo’s general Hua Xiong! But he doesn’t stay by Dong Zhuo’s side to protect Dong Zhuo, what are you doing here?
