Chapter 1139 Roadblock

When they arrived not far outside the city, Lu arranged for Bai Ruozhu to leave the caravan quietly. She went back to Zhuangzi and changed her usual clothes. She also placed Guoer in Zhuangzi, and then she took a carriage back as if she was returning to the capital from Zhuangzi outside the city. .

As soon as they arrived at the city gate, the carriage was stopped. Jian Qi snorted coldly, "The investigation in Beijing has been tight these days. Are you still being stopped when entering the city in broad daylight?"

Lu looked a little unhappy and hurried into the palace to meet the saint. Who is so short-sighted? If it weren't for his identity being exposed, he would have been beaten away with a slap in the face.

The soldiers guarding the city came over to check the carriage. Jian Qi said displeasedly: "What should I do if my master catches a cold in the cold weather? What kind of rules are these now?"

The soldiers looked embarrassed. It is true that Danliang Kingdom rarely searches carriages, unless it is an emergency and the capital is under martial law. Moreover, this carriage still has a family logo. In the capital, only people with grades above fifth grade can use black. The logo on the bottom, how could he, a small soldier, offend him?

When he saw Jian Qi staring at him coldly, he couldn't help but panic, and couldn't help but glance at the people aside.

I saw a middle-aged man standing there, cursing angrily with a straight face: "Useless thing!"

The middle-aged man came over, looked at Bai Ruozhu's carriage arrogantly, and asked: "Is this the Bai Mansion's carriage? I didn't know that Bai Ruozhu was sitting in the carriage? I heard that Bai Ruozhu had smallpox. , How can you let people into the city without doing a thorough investigation?"

Bai Ruozhu opened some of the curtains and took a look, and it turned out to be the wise king she had met once before. But it was too coincidental for this wise king to meet him, right?

In fact, the wise king was unintentional. He was sending a friend who was leaving the capital for a post today, and he happened to be at the city gate. He was just feeling a little emotional after his friend left, and he saw the White Mansion's carriage approaching. He once chased Bai Ruozhu's carriage to find trouble, but he had already remembered this before he caught up. How could he let it go now?

When Jian Qi saw that the wise king was causing trouble, it was hard to say anything. After all, there was a prince standing below, and a fifth-grade life wife had to give him face.

Bai Ruozhu was thinking about a question in the carriage, why did King Xian say she had smallpox? Although the wise king was causing trouble for her, he also had a straightforward and stubborn temper. It was unlikely that he would make up such a disease for her, right?

Could it be that the emperor gave her a "smallpox" in order to conceal her whereabouts?

Thinking of this, her head was on fire. Smallpox was a very serious disease in ancient times. What if someone thought her family members might be infected and ostracized her family members? Especially what should she do if her second brother is excluded from Royal Academy?

"Bai Ruozhu, why don't you dare to show it to others? If you get smallpox, just stay out of the city and don't come back to harm anyone!" The Xian Wang said with a hint of schadenfreude in his tone, as if Bai Ruozhu was about to die.

Bai Ruozhu had no choice but to lift the curtain and walk out, and said to King Xian, "Do I look like someone who has smallpox?"

The wise king was shocked when he saw that her face and hands were all smooth, without even a single red spot, "Didn't you say you had smallpox?"

"Who is so shameless and spreads rumors like this? I was just tired of treating Le Bin a few days ago, and I contracted some colds. I was weak and went to rest outside the city. How could I become smallpox?" Bai Ruozhu said calmly. explain.

The wise king's face became serious after hearing this, "Since you are not a smallpox, why don't you serve Jiangge Lao? He is your elder. If you don't know how to respect your elders, what's your wifely virtue?"

Bai Ruozhu glanced at him impatiently and said, "Can it be called filial piety if I catch the cold and give him the disease? Besides, it's not my turn to be filial, right? He didn't acknowledge me. My husband is from the Jiang family, how can I, a foreigner, be filial to him?"

"You are using strong words to make excuses!" King Xian pointed at Bai Ruozhu and shouted.

Bai Ruozhu waved her sleeves, "Prince Xian, are you sure that I don't have smallpox? I still have to go to the palace to treat Le Bin, please let me go."

The wise king did not know about Le Concubine's coma. Something like this happened in the palace and it involved the emperor's heirs. The emperor had people block the news. So the wise king didn't take it to heart after hearing this. Instead, he blocked the road and said, "Please follow me to see Mr. Jiangge first. He has taught me my knowledge. I can't see him being bullied by you like this." Wait until you finish watching before entering the palace, it won’t waste much time.”

After he finished speaking, he immediately gave orders to his men. Two guards rushed over to help Bai Ruozhu get into the carriage. The other guard actually drove Bai Ruozhu's driver out, which meant that he was threatening Bai Ruozhu.

Jian Qi stopped in front, glared at the two of them and said, "My master is a high-ranking wife after all. Who do you think this is?"

But the wise king said reluctantly: "My destined wife is no more than a filial piety, so I will take her away for you!"

Lu felt a headache in his gut, and the emperor hurriedly issued a second secret order. He was afraid that he would be punished for being late, but this person had returned to the capital, and he encountered a roadblock.

He thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and stepped forward, whispering: "Your Majesty, I am the bodyguard in front of the Emperor. I have been ordered to send the Bai family to the palace immediately. Please forgive me."

The Xian Wang glanced at Lu and said nonchalantly: "I have never seen anyone like you. Besides, I told the emperor that as long as Bai's illness is cured, he must go to Mr. Jiangge to visit him. Now since If she's fine, just go and apologize to Mr. Jiangge first."

Bai Ruozhu became angry when he heard this, "What crime am I guilty of? He was the one who kicked my husband, an innocent young man, out of the house back then. How come we are not filial now? And he has found someone for his false reputation again and again. When did we trouble him? Last time he was ill, didn't we visit him, write him a prescription, or send him gifts or money? "

The wise king was stunned for a moment, but he quickly and confidently said: "So what, you are the younger generation. No matter what your elders do, you should fulfill your filial piety. Even if your elders ask you to die, you will also It’s time to listen.”

Bai Ruozhu laughed angrily, "The wise king is really insightful. I've only heard that if you want your ministers to die, they have to die, but I've never heard of a grandfather who dared to speak out confidently if he wanted to force his grandson to death."

"Stop talking nonsense, you have to go today, even if you don't want to go, otherwise my soldiers will take you there." Xian Dynasty's men made a gesture, and a group of soldiers surrounded Bai Ruozhu, Jian Qi, and Lu in the middle.

Lu Qi cursed in his heart. He could not let the shadow guards hiding in the dark go out, let alone blatantly conflict with the Xian Wang. In the end, he could only watch the Xian Wang force Bai Ruozhu to go to Jiang Mansion.

When he arrived at the door of Jiang Mansion, King Xian happily opened the door and said loudly: "Inform Mr. Jiang Ge that I have arrested Bai Ruozhu to plead guilty to him!"

The corner of Bai Ruozhu's mouth twitched, this wise king was really self-righteous.
