Chapter 1904 It's really in
It's daybreak.
The golden sunlight filled the earth and bathed the carriage.
Although Qingyu brought the talisman and pasted it on the Meng family's carriage, Master Shang and Xihong were still quite dejected, huddled together, and had no interest in asking any questions.
"We've reached the city gate."
Qingyu's voice came from outside.
Master Shang and happy Hong looked up at the same time, just as Meng Rui lifted the carriage curtain, and they looked out as well.
Upon catching a glimpse of the majestic city walls of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Master Shang's eyes lit up with excitement.
"I thought I would stay in that stinking, dark mass grave forever. I never thought I would be able to leave and enter the capital."
happy Hong was excited but also a little nervous because there were still some people ahead of her in line. They were in the middle of the line and it wasn't their turn to enter the city yet. happy Hong was very uneasy.
"Are we really allowed to get in?"
"It's definitely possible," Master Shang said with certainty.
"What if we get stopped?"
"This is the Meng family's carriage. You know what kind of family the Meng family is. Do you think the soldiers would stop them from entering?"
"The Meng family can go in, of course, but what about us?"
happy Hong felt uncomfortable all over. She had tried it once before and was literally ejected, leaving her dizzy for a long time.
The imperial city is no ordinary place, and she is a wronged ghost who died tragically as a slave. It won't be easy for her to get in.
"If the princess says you can enter the city, then you definitely can."
Meng Rui overheard their conversation and interjected, but then he found it somewhat strange, "But, can other people see you too?"
He was thinking that if others saw the two of them like this, wouldn't it cause chaos?
Those officers and soldiers must be terrified, right?
After all, these two looked rather suspicious.
Rather than worrying about not being able to get in, I'm more worried about causing too much of a commotion and scaring everyone here.
Upon hearing his question, Master Shang and happy Hong realized the problem. The two exchanged a glance and then looked at Master Meng and his son.
"We've been wanting to ask, how did you see us?"
It's not surprising that Lu Zhaoling could see them; she's such a highly skilled master, isn't it normal for her to see two ghosts?
The problem is that Prince Jin and his two guards could see them, and even ordinary people like Master Meng and his son could see them!
"Just, just look at it like this." Meng Rui widened his eyes again and pointed to his eyes. "Open your eyes, and you'll see it like this."
“That’s not right. There have been quite a few people who have gone to mass graves to dispose of corpses and other things over the years, but we haven’t been seen here,” said Master Shang.
Qingyu's voice came from outside the carriage.
"What's so strange about that? The princess has given them all the ability to see into the heavens. Don't worry, the soldiers won't see you."
After Qingyu finished speaking, he spurred his horse and rode ahead.
"The Prince of Jin has returned to the city."
He thrust the token forward, and the soldiers quickly saluted and told everyone else to move aside.
"Give me, let me!"
He waved his hand, signaling the Meng family's carriage to follow him into the city.
Using the name of the Prince's Mansion is perfect; it saves us from being questioned and also keeps the Meng family out of the loop.
If people were to see Meng Si's condition, who knows what rumors would spread, which would have some impact on the reputation of Grand Secretary Meng, who has always been known for his integrity and uprightness.
The Meng family's carriage was thus cleared a path and drove directly into the city gate.
Once the carriage entered the city, Meng Rui lifted the curtain slightly and said, "We're in."
As happy Hong gazed at the familiar yet unfamiliar streets of the city, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Really, you just got in like that?"
Without any discomfort or difficulty, I entered.
Whether it was fate or not, at that moment, a middle-aged man with a slightly protruding belly was being escorted into a restaurant by several people.
"Master Shu the Second!"
happy Hong happened to see it, and she blurted out, her eyes flashing with hatred. She moved slightly, almost unable to control herself, and floated out to seek revenge on Master Shu.
"Red is auspicious!"
Master Shang quickly stopped her.
happy Hong calmed down instantly.
"What do you want to do?" Master Shang asked nervously in a low voice. "Don't forget what the Princess Consort of Jin said!"
If happy Hong dares to go out and cause trouble now, Princess Jin will definitely not let her off the hook.
Although that master was a young woman, and seemed very lively and kind, Master Shang believed that she would keep her word.
If they don't obey, Princess Jin might actually roll them up in one hand and stuff them into a stinking ditch to be flushed away.
happy Hong had actually calmed down the moment he stopped her.
But Master Shang's words calmed her down a bit.
"I won't do anything reckless," happy Hong said through gritted teeth.
She could wait until the master had time to explain in detail. So many years had already passed; if it were the master, she wouldn't even have had the chance to enter the city, let alone seek revenge.
"Let's go back to the Meng family first."
Indeed, the Meng family did not sleep all night.
How can I sleep like this?
Even Grand Secretary Meng stayed up late. Although everyone advised him to rest first and wait for others to return, Grand Secretary Meng felt that he couldn't sleep even if he lay down, so he waited in the hall with his descendants.
I waited all night.
The waiting process was so agonizing that when Third Master Meng and Meng Rui came in, they were startled to see everyone.
Why do they all look so listless and have dark circles under their eyes after just one night?
"Grandfather, did you also wait all night?" Meng Rui looked at Grand Secretary Meng.
"Have you found Si'er?" Grand Secretary Meng's throat tightened, and he asked quickly, disregarding everything else.
"We've found Brother Si!"
At this moment, Qingyu carried Meng Si in.
Zhou Shiyue and Lu Zhaoling followed behind.
Everyone spent the whole night in that place, so they're not very clean, and their shoes are covered in mud.
But the Meng family didn't care about any of that at the moment. Seeing them like this, they felt that they had really gone through a lot of hardships and had really gone to great lengths for the Meng family.
Lu Zhaoling said to Qingyu, "Put Meng Si down."
"Si'er!" When the eldest master and madam of the Meng family saw their son with his eyes closed, his face pale, and who looked like he had lost weight in just one day, their eyes turned red.
For a moment, they didn't even know if Meng Si was still alive, and they couldn't bring themselves to walk over.
Grand Secretary Meng then called out to the others in a deep voice, "Quickly, quickly help!"
Meng Si was placed in a grand chair, and his two cousins supported him to prevent him from slipping to the ground.
Grand Secretary Meng looked at Lu Zhaoling.
"Your Highness, my grandson..."
"Wait a minute, bring me a cup of hot tea to calm down."
Lu Zhaoling waved her hand, turned around and helped Zhou Shiyue, "Sit down and rest."
Zhou Shiyue enjoyed her attention and care.
The Meng family quickly went to make tea and then to serve hot egg custard.
