    More than a hundred guards escorted the coffin of the Dowager Empress back to her hometown of Jinling. Princess Sirou wore sackcloth and wore mourning. She remained silent, cried and made no fuss. She either stayed in the car or accompanied her mother's coffin. She occasionally giggled and looked energetic.  It doesn't look normal.  The Queen Mother assigned three confidants to take care of Princess Sirou's daily diet and daily life.  The three old women pretended to be taking care of her, but they were actually monitoring her. Before leaving, they were even prepared to compete with Her Royal Highness in a battle of wits and strength.  Her Royal Highness the Princess refused to cooperate, but they were a little worried.  "Her Royal Highness the Princess is too sad. If no one can enlighten her, something might be wrong." One of the old women said to the other.  "It's a pity that Her Highness the Princess is very hostile to us. How can we enlighten her?" "The princess insists on having Chen Xu escort her before leaving. Can he enlighten the princess?" The two of them looked at the princess sitting in the carriage and then looked at each other.  Looking at Chen Xu who was riding behind Concubine Chen's coffin, the other person said, "I heard that the late emperor intended to give the princess to him before he died. God knows if they had an affair." After a pause, she said again, "You  Aren't you afraid that they will cause trouble if they are alone? If the queen mother knows that the princess is not perfect, I am afraid that we will not be able to escape the blame." "It's hard to say, as long as it is like this.  Chen Xu is in the princess car, and at least one of the three of us is keeping watch. I believe he will not dare to mess around. " Chen Xu was dressed in green clothes, riding a horse with a sword, and carrying a bulging package on his horse.  In Chen Ying'er's mind, this was the first time that her son had traveled far away alone. She got up early that morning and prepared many things for her son's journey: green clothes were resistant to stains and did not need to be changed every day; the sword was for self-defense. Chen Ying'er  Although she knew that her son had a short knife and a pistol, she felt that the weapons were too short and compact and would not be of much use. The package was filled with food and clothing, and four sets of clothes were prepared.  Before leaving, she reluctantly told her son to pay attention to his diet and wear more clothes when the weather got cold in the morning and evening.  Watching her son drive the horse forward, Chen Ying'er caught up and stuffed some banknotes and silver ingots into his package Along the way south, Chen Xu thought of his mother's love for her son; accompanied by Concubine Chen's "coffin",  He also thought about how to help Concubine Chen escape from her shell. Among the hundreds of guards accompanying him, there were many experts. If there was a slight flaw, not only would all previous efforts be wasted, but failure to do so would also affect family and friends. Chen Xu had to be cautious.  Sitting in Princess Sirou's car, Chen Xu thought he could murmur to Princess Sirou. However, as soon as he turned his head or sat a little closer to the princess, he would see a face that was comparable to the bark of an old elm tree.  This is simply a man¡¯s nightmare.  "Your Highness, are you hungry?" Chen Xu took out a paper bag from the package, untied the thread, and took out a piece of fried, browned steamed bun and handed it to Sirou, "My mother made this herself. I specially  I like the taste." Princess Sirou took it in her hand, and Chen Xu took out another one and put it in his mouth. He tried not to look at the old woman's face while eating. He didn't want to waste his mother's hard work.  of eating.  "Princess, you have time to eat, and you have to eat in quantity. Your Highness has rules on when to eat, and the portions of each meal. How can you just eat random things." The old woman protested, but Princess Sirou ignored her, and she went about her own business.  When it came to her mouth, You Ya chewed it, and tears gradually came to her eyes. She said, "I like it, and I will eat it in the future." Chen Xu looked at Princess Sirou, and he seemed to think that there was something in the little princess's words.  "The princess has a body of ten thousand gold. If her stomach is ruined by this, I cannot bear the blame." The old woman suddenly snatched the steamed bun slices from Princess Sirou's hand, then opened the curtain and threw it out of the car.  Chen Xu became angry. He turned to stare at the old woman, "You've gone a little too far." When the old woman saw Chen Xu's eyes, she felt a sense of inexplicable fear, but this fear did not last long.  She has the support of the Queen Mother, is she still afraid of him being a brat?  "I am responsible for the food and daily life of the princess. The food and clothing of the princess do not need to be bothered by Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen only needs to do his part." After saying that, the old woman stopped talking to Chen Xu and looked straight at her.  Staring at Princess Sirou seductively.  As the saying goes, good men don't fight with women. Chen Xu didn't want to completely break up his face. When he heard the old woman's harsh words, he warned himself that his small impatience would ruin his big plans.  The old woman was very lenient. Princess Sirou wanted to drink water, so she had to ration it. Her posture seemed to be more expert than the experts of later generations. Princess Sirou wanted to be convenient, but she also had to watch from the sidelines. The more Chen Xu watched, the angrier he became.  How is this taking care of the princess?  He clearly had a canary.  Although Chen Xu suppressed his anger, when he saw the old woman's old face, he had the urge to slap her with a brick.  "Hey, look what that is?" Chen Xu suddenly pointed at the gap in the car curtain and shouted, "The woman turned her head, and with a "pop" sound, Chen Xu slapped the old man in the face, which made her feel much happier.  "What are you doing?" the old woman said angrily.  Chen Xu sat upright and asked with an innocent face: "What are you doing?" "You dare to hit me?" "Did I just hit someone?" Chen Xu looked at Sirou and said: "Your Highness, you saw  Did someone hit someone just now?" Princess Sirou suppressed a smile. She didn't speak and just shook her head.  Chen Xu suddenly looked horrified. He approached Princess Sirou and said, "Princess, what do you think that is? Behind the old woman, there is a long tongue hanging out. The hanged ghost must be here to claim his life"  " Sirou knew that Chen Xu was teasing the old woman with his nonsense, but hearing the horror of what he said made her feel hairy all over, and she couldn't help but move closer to Chen Xu.  The old woman had indeed done a lot of bad things in her life, and she was already sensitive to those who were hanged and drowned. Seeing Princess Sirou's expression, she became even more afraid to look back.  Coincidentally, the carriage happened to pass through a forest, and the branches moved the curtains, as if something was about to poke through the window.  The old woman couldn't bear it any longer. She closed her eyes and let out a heart-rending howl: "Ghost!" The hundreds of guards who accompanied her were not just for food. They quickly surrounded Sirou's chariot, and for a moment everyone was on their backs.   Chen Xu originally just wanted to scare the unreasonable old woman, but when he saw how well-trained the guards were and how quickly they responded, he was not only secretly frightened, there was such a group of people escorting Concubine Chen,  How easy is it to hide something from the truth?  The group of people will stay overnight at dawn. If they encounter an inn, they will book the entire inn. If they miss the inn, they will camp in the wild.  On the eighth day, they finally entered the boundary of Jinling.  As night fell, they walked to an abandoned ancient temple in a barren mountain. The ancient temple was in disrepair, dilapidated, and collapsed. The clay Buddha statues were covered with cobwebs. There were several dilapidated coffins parked in front of the Buddha statues. The original color of the coffins could no longer be seen.  After the "ghost collision" incident, the cloud of fear has always shrouded the three old women who monitored Princess Sirou.  Concubine Chen's coffin was nothing more than that, and they were deeply wary of the dilapidated coffin.  Princess Sirou looked at Chen Xu and then at the coffin that had been moved to the corner in the lobby. She insisted on parking the coffin of her mother and concubine here and staying there.  The old women prepared meals, bedding and other daily necessities for Princess Sirou.  "Your Highness, Chen Xu takes leave." Along the way, Chen Xu has been looking for and trying to create opportunities. Seeing the original coffin in the ruined temple, he thought he could give it a try.  Today is the ninth day that Concubine Chen faked her death. Sai Huatuo said that she could not fake her death for more than half a month at most, so Chen Xu did not dare to delay it any longer.  In the past few days, Chen Xu accompanied the princess during the day and avoided her at night. At this moment, he spoke very loudly, with a sense of playing hard to get.  ***************************************************  ********* Today's condition is not very good, so let's do this first, and try to make up for it tomorrow.  Please vote!  !  !
