After the dance, Moge gave a high five and said in a deep voice: "Good dance!" The voice was loud, not like praise, but like he was holding back a surge of energy. I raised my eyes and looked directly at Xuan Qing.
With doubtful eyes, she held Jin Xi's hand and quietly went out to change clothes.
Gradually I got far away from the sound of singing and dancing. I walked to the secluded Songtao Pavilion and saw Li Chang also following me without anyone else. Seeing no one around, I stood firm and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Chang hurriedly reported back: "The emperor sent the Prince Consort and the Hehe army to stand and confront each other. Over there, he sent the Commander Ma Ye and Li Chengnan to lead a raid on the Hehe grain and grass army. Although the sudden change in the wind failed to destroy all their grain and grass, it was also burned.
Most of them are short of food and grass, and the illustrious soldiers are infected with the epidemic one after another. I want to see how arrogant Mog is!"
I sighed: "It's good news! But didn't you see that Xiaoxiazi got the news first? What's going on?"
Li Changyi grimaced, and the wrinkles on his face became even deeper. He was dejected and did not dare to speak. He just sighed. Jin Xi hurriedly poked him and persuaded: "If you have anything to say, it will be like this."
Come on, maybe I can give you some ideas."
Li Chang sighed and said: "The little boy has been restless since he was young, and the servants also tried to kill him with bullets. Who would have thought that the little kid hooked up with Mrs. Zhuang Min and became Mrs. Zhuang Min's confidant?
.What is the identity of Mrs. Zhuang Min? That little kid is young and smart, and he knows how to act based on color. He is very popular with the emperor. The emperor trusts her very much. Now he has even ordered Xiaoxiazi to guard the news about such confidential matters. The slave did it later.
I learned..."
I comforted him with gentle words: "How could it be possible? You have watched the emperor grow up since he was a child. What kind of relationship do we have with you? How could he neglect you?"
Li Changbie turned around and wiped the corner of his eyes, and said: "My servant is old and useless. It is reasonable for the emperor to think that my servant is not doing things well. It's just that the little mansion blindly fawns over Mrs. Zhuang Min and keeps an eye on the queen's position. This servant
I'm really afraid of you..."
I smiled and patted his hand, "Don't be afraid. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she wants to be a queen. As for you, don't worry. Xiaoxiazi is young and smart at most, but he has never seen the big world.
, everything is impatient and unstable, and the Emperor cannot do without you. You can go back in peace, I will go back after I have finished changing my clothes."
Li Chang nodded hurriedly and went back. I sat holding Jin Xi's hand, listening to the wind blowing by the pines outside the window like big waves. I felt a mixture of joy and sorrow, like a strong wind ruffling the pages of a book, one after another.
After a while, I sighed softly and said, "Go back, we can't stay out for too long today."
Jinxi straightened the hem of my skirt and said with a smile: "My queen is also sad when she is happy, and she is also sad when she is sad. I don't know when all the worries will be over."
I couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't worry if you have too many debts, and don't be afraid if you have too many worries. I just have nothing to worry about in vain." After saying that, I held her hand and walked out. After leaving Songtaoxuan,
In a large pine forest, one can only hear the waves of pine trees, and occasionally unknown birds chirping. The flowers and grass grow wildly, which makes it even more quiet. Behind the deep green pine forest, a corner of the tung flower terrace is faintly revealed. I stared for a moment and saw
When he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly met a pair of deep eyes. He was startled in his heart. He took two steps back and blurted out: "Your Majesty."
He instinctively stretched out his hand to hold me up so that I wouldn't slip. Jin Xi quickly supported me with one hand, leaned forward and said, "Hail, Your Majesty."
His hand was stretched out there empty, like a lonely and incomplete shape. He retracted his hand in embarrassment and asked: "I saw that Brother Huang and Moge looked a little wrong, and Xiaoxiazi was a little sneaky.
Yes, what is it?"
I picked up the important thing and told him. He nodded slightly, suddenly looked at me and said: "There is something I have been thinking about for a long time and have always wanted to ask you." His voice seemed to be forced out of his throat, low and low.
Low asked: "How did Jingxian die?"
My heart sank suddenly, as if I had been dropped by a thousand-jin stone. He was such a smart man who always knew what was going on. Once he asked, he must have already known something. When I looked at his eyes as clear as water, I couldn't help but feel...
If she dared to look again, she had to avoid his gaze and said softly: "You were there that day. You should know that Jingxian accidentally swallowed the poison given by Murong Chishao."
His voice was extremely soft, but it was like thunder in my ears, "What if I suspect someone else?"
I was immediately alert and blurted out: "Who?"
He looked at me, was silent for a long time, and whispered: "He is a person who is close to you and me."
I almost didn't dare to look into his eyes and quickly defended: "It's not Yuyin!"
The smile on his lips was a little bleak, "You also thought it was her!"
I was horrified, "She is your pillow, you can't be suspicious of her like this!"
He turned away and spoke in a hard voice, "After Jingxian died, I heard Bin'er quietly comforting Yu Yin, advising her not to dream more about herself and scare herself. What is Yu Yin afraid of? Jingxian is Yu Che's mother, I
We can't let her die in an unknown way." He held my wrist and said, "Huan'er, you are so smart, you must know something. I just beg you to tell me something."
I shook my head, and the red gold pearl tassel hanging down from Bu Yao swept over my cheeks, as if slapping myself hotly, "I only believe what I saw with my own eyes. It was Concubine Rong who accidentally killed Jingxian, and it had nothing to do with anyone else."
"
He was silent for a moment, then said: "Why don't you look me in the eyes and say something like this."
I suddenly raised my face and looked into his eyes, looking straight into his eyes. His clear eyes were no different from before. My heart was so sad that it bled, and I almost felt resentful.
I hid it, complaining about her various actions that forced me to tell lies to Xuan Qing again. But she, she is my sister after all. I raised my head, held back the tears that were about to fall from the corners of my eyes, and said word by word:
"If you want to ask me, I can only tell you based on our long-term friendship. You can't doubt a woman who has loved you for so many years."
The movement of the hand was too big, and the wide sleeves suddenly slipped down, revealing a snow-lotus-like arm, and on the wrist was a string of red coral bracelets, which he gave to me on the day I became a concubine. I couldn't pity the coral on my palm,
But it turned out to be a flower in the sun. My heart was stung for a moment, and I burst into tears.
He stared at the bracelet on my arm, feeling unspeakably sad. After a moment, he let go of my hand and said hoarsely: "I understand. But no matter how much you defend her, you can't swear on our friendship.
"
I turned my head and gently wiped away the tears, and said in a low voice: "No matter what happens, Yuyin's heart towards you is not wrong."
He slowly let out a breath and said, "I hope so. I don't want your sister to be like this. I just hope that I guessed wrongly."
I was silent for a long time, thinking about the situation in Cuiyun Jiayin Hall, and asked worriedly: "That Moge, if I admit it correctly, it was Huishan back then..."
He stopped me with his eyes and nodded slightly. I felt panicked, bit my lip and said, "He seems to have recognized me..."
Xuan Qing pondered slightly and said, "He doesn't dare."
I was about to say more, but I saw a charming figure approaching from afar. When I looked carefully, I saw her slowly walking forward and saying in a deep voice: "Don't worry, eldest sister, the prince has married me as his concubine. Even if Moge has the courage, we will naturally It doesn't matter if it can be overthrown." She held Xuan Qing's hand tightly, as if she was afraid of losing it, and asked softly: "Did the prince say so?"
Xuan Qing nodded slightly and just stared into the distance. Yu Yin stared at me alertly, carefully hiding the alert look in his eyes, and said to him in a gentle voice: "Why did the prince come out alone and call me my concubine?" I'm so worried. If you have anything to say to your eldest sister, it would be better for me to stay aside." She said softly, "There is a lot of gossip in the palace. If the prince doesn't care about himself, he must also care about his eldest sister."
Xuanqing said "hmm" and said, "You have persuaded me a lot these years. If it is not important, I would not dare to disturb Concubine Shu." Then he asked, "Why did you come out so quickly?"
Yu Yin hurriedly lowered his head and said with a smile: "The sun is shining outside, and I'm afraid that the prince will get hot after drinking wine, so I can't let go. Later, I will tell Bin'er to make some green plum soup to sober up." She smiled at him. I said: "The prince always drinks green plum soup to relieve his hangover. If the emperor gets drunk at the eldest sister's place, the eldest sister should also make green plum soup to clear the mouth and not make the stomach greasy."
I didn't know how to communicate, so Jin Xi quickly answered for me: "Thank you, Concubine Yin, for informing me."
Yu Yin smiled again and said: "Actually, green plum soup may not be useful to the emperor. If you are not drunk with wine, everyone will get drunk. The emperor is drunk in the eldest sister's palace, and it is not just because of wine."
The roots behind my ears were pounding. I simply didn’t know how to deal with myself, let alone how to deal with it. Xuan Qing finally couldn’t help but said, “Yu Yin, you’ve talked too much today.”
Yu Yin smiled coquettishly, held his sleeves and shook him a few times, and said softly: "My eldest sister and I are joking. Your Majesty, please don't be offended."
She spoke so intimately with him, and I just felt that I was in an awkward place, and that I was a superfluous person. I had to quietly tug on Jinxi's sleeves, signaling to leave.
After bypassing Songtaoxuan, after taking a few steps, I suddenly noticed a burly figure behind a pine tree not far away, and I stopped in my tracks in surprise.
I was about to ask "Who is it?" when I heard a burst of laughter. The man stepped out from behind the forest with a high-five, his voice like a bell, "You three are really funny!"
These words were like thunder in my ears. I took a closer look, and everything in front of me went black. Who is it if it's not Moge?
My face must be pale, and my heart is beating violently, as if something is about to jump out of my throat. The pine forest covers the sky, and occasionally fish-like sunlight leaks out from the gaps in the branches, which also loses its inherent charm. The scorching temperature seemed to be reflected on thousand-year-old ice. Just like me at this moment, I only felt cold in my hands and feet. Even the beads of sweat sliding off my vest were like round ice beads rolling past, causing a shiver all over my body.
However, no matter how flustered I was, I finally nodded with a smile and said half-jokingly: "Why did the Khan skip the banquet? He still likes to hide and sneak peeks. He has completely lost his demeanor as the leader of a country." .”
He stroked his beard and said slowly: "I'm just afraid that I'll start a good show, so how can I interrupt it loudly?"
"When people are in the play, when Khan looks at others, he doesn't know that others are also looking at Khan."
His eyes were as dark as ink, and he did not distinguish between joy and anger, "I am just playing around. The actors are still the same as before, but the roles they play are different. The woman next to King Qinghe used to be your maid, but now she flies up to the branch and becomes a maid."
Phoenix. You were as close as husband and wife to him, but in a blink of an eye you became his sister-in-law and the most popular concubine in the palace." He glanced at me and said, "I think you are very courageous. You dare to talk to the emperor.
My own brother having an affair makes me admire you, the concubine Shu, very much."
The contempt in his words was not concealed at all. I suppressed the anger in my heart and said, "I forgive you for not understanding what the Khan said. But does the Khan know that time has changed and the world has changed? For example, no matter how invincible the illustrious army is, it will
It can’t withstand natural disasters and man-made disasters.”
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his cold gaze seemed to bite people, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell the emperor what happened back then?"
I picked off a small flower from the purple rose and played with it, "Afraid? I am afraid that my sister Yu Yin and King Qinghe traveled together back then will be known? They are in love and have already become husband and wife. If the Khan wants to tell the emperor
, the emperor only listened to it as a good story. On the contrary, he had to wonder how the Khan knew these things and how he managed to sneak into the Zhou Dynasty alone. If the emperor knew about it, he would not be happy and would not go to the miracle doctor. He would be afraid of the epidemic among the illustrious soldiers.
I don’t know when we will see each other again. Khan is a smart man, so naturally he will not joke with the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers."
He stood with his hands behind his hands, a hint of anger bursting out of the corners of his slightly opened eyes, and he sneered: "Do you think this Khan will be threatened by your emperor? He secretly burned my army's food and grass, his method is too despicable!"
I smiled and said, "The Khan is really drunk, and he even forgot about the saying that a soldier never tires of deceit." I glanced at him, "The Khan is certainly angry, but I feel that the Khan is a man with a big heart, so he will not show it.
Let the Emperor see the color. I would also like to advise the Khan, if you came out to drink to relieve your anger, then please go back quickly to avoid the Emperor becoming suspicious."
He looked at me coldly, "Do you think Ben Khan will be afraid?"
I smiled slightly and said, "Khan is a smart man and naturally knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. I am just saying too much to remind you."
He pursed his lips slightly, looked at me and said: "When I saw you just now, I already recognized you. But I always felt that there was something different about you. It turns out that the way you held your concubine in such a serious manner was not as serious as that of you in Huishan."
You're casual and cute. But once you speak and act, it's still the same as before."
I still smiled reservedly, "I really don't understand what Khan said."
"You know whether you understand or not. Naturally, Ben Khan believes in his own vision."
His deep tone made me feel uneasy. I raised my chin and said, "Seeing may not be true, let alone vision."
A blur of halo flashed across his eyes, he walked to my side and said word by word: "A smart woman is also beautiful, and it is easy for people to like her." His voice seemed to be seductive.
Like a magnet, "If a woman is beautiful, intelligent, and ruthless, it will be easier for others to admire her."
The uneasiness in my heart became more and more serious. I pretended not to understand and just said lightly: "I think the Yan family of Khan must be like this, and I also admire it very much. When did Dazhou and Hehe become brothers, I want to come to this palace."
You can pay me a visit."
He stopped smiling, and spat out the words one by one like ice beads, saying: "I have countless concubines, but the only Yan family has died in your hands." Suddenly,
His voice changed, with a slightly shocking tone, "So, you have to remember, if you kill my wife, you must give her back to me."
I was shocked by the inaudible tenderness in his words. I was shocked and speechless for a moment. I even thought that I was delusional. He was the illustrious king of a country, how could he covet the favorite concubine of the emperor of an enemy country, let alone the third son of me?
My mother is no longer young. I managed to calm down and smiled gently: "The Khan is stingy. There are so many beauties in the Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as the Khan requests it, the emperor will definitely choose the most beautiful woman to be the Khan's wife."
, in order to achieve good relations between the two countries Qin and Jin."
He just held his hands behind his hands, and his thick knuckles were like round pebbles. He raised his lips and smiled, "I hope Xuan Ling will be willing to let it go."
It was disrespectful to call the emperor by his first name like this. The spread of the epidemic among the Hehe army was actually very detrimental to him. And he knew that Xuan Ling had a prescription in his hand, but he still treated him with such contempt, which was extremely bold.
The flower stems were pinched and touched for a long time, and the cool flower juice spread to the palm bit by bit, with a sticky fragrance. I looked at him and said, "Now the Khan should be worried that the emperor will not part with the cure for the epidemic."
Son, not anything else."
His eyes were as sharp as a sword, looking at the blue cloudless sky from a distance, as if he wanted to pierce it. "Do you think Ben Khan is really worried about the epidemic? All illustrious men are real men, and they are not afraid of death. Ben Khan
He will immediately order that all the illustrious soldiers who are infected with the epidemic will be put to death to prevent the spread of the epidemic. Now the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty only dare to garrison in the city and dare not open the city to fight. The emperor does not need to give a prescription. This Khan will make people infected with the epidemic.
The illustrious man was thrown into the city. I don’t believe that the Zhou sergeant is so strong that he will not be infected with the epidemic like us."
I looked at the determined and stern look in his bottomless eyes. I was so shocked that I blurted out: "You are a madman!"
He smiled "hehe", and his voice was like a beast waiting for an opportunity. "So what if you are a madman? Could it be that your emperor has calculated it for nothing! He can't march and fight, but he can play tricks one after another!
"
"Don't conspiracies need to be used on the battlefield? If you use them to benefit, it is a cunning plan. If you use it to benefit, it is a cunning plan. If you use it to suffer losses, it is a conspiracy. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy." I saw him staring and couldn't help but smile.
He suddenly relaxed his angry expression and showed a bit of joking, "So you can still smile so happily. I thought you only thought like this when you were in Huishan."
While he was talking, he saw Yu Yin slowly coming out accompanied by Xuan Qing. When Yu Yin heard Mo Ge's words, his delicate long eyebrows slightly condensed, and he turned a smile like a cloud of smoke and said: "Hello, Khan
Memory, I still remember the scene when I traveled to Huishan with the prince. Speaking of which, it is really fate that we meet again today."
Moge raised his eyebrows and looked at her, then pursed his lips at me, "You were the little girl beside Concubine Shu back then."
"Little girl" didn't mean anything else at first, but Yu Yin was overthinking it. She smiled brightly and said: "Your Majesty Khan, you forget things so much. Where did you find such a little girl? When I first fell in love with the prince, we both
When we visited Huishan, my eldest sister also went with us. Perhaps because I was young and liked to follow my eldest sister, the Khan regarded me as a little maid."
Moge smiled disdainfully, "Although you are somewhat similar to Concubine Shu, I believe in my own eyesight. Even though she is your eldest sister and you are young, the appearance of the little maid is good."
Yu Yin was once suppressed by the You family in the Qinghe Palace, and was often ridiculed for being a maid instead of a princess, and could not escape her status as a servant. At this moment, hearing Moge mention it without any concealment, her expression changed slightly. She tried her best to suppress her anger,
She forced a smile and said, "Khan insists on saying that, and I can't argue with you." She took Xuan Qing's arm, tilted her head and smiled gently, "Back then, the prince met Khan while traveling with my concubine, and today we are old friends.
When we meet again, I want to have a few drinks with Khan later, don’t you think?”
Xuan Qing smiled faintly, cupped his hands and said, "Khan has a good drinking capacity, but this king is nowhere near as good as him."
Although his answer was evasive, it could be regarded as acquiescing to travel with Yu Yin. Moge just laughed, "You three are really strange. In the past, we were lovers who became uncles and sisters, but now we have a baby."
The maid has married a lover. Don’t you feel awkward, but I feel awkward just after seeing her kissing her face."
Xuanqing's smile was faint, like a thin layer of moisture covering Yuanyang tiles in the morning. "Khan is making fun of you." He naturally took his arms out of Yuyin's arms and blocked her.
Behind him, he said seriously: "It's okay for Khan to joke, but please don't make fun of Xiao Wang's beloved wife."
A coral-colored blush slowly appeared on Yu Yin's beautiful face, and she stretched out her hand to hold Xuan Qing's left hand, "Thank you for your love, Your Majesty."
Moge chuckled, "It's natural for a husband and wife to love each other, so I have to thank you for that. It shows that love is rarely seen in normal times. What's the point of catching someone but not their heart?" He glanced at Xuan Qing, "No one has ever seen you protecting someone.
I have seen her appearance with my own eyes. Even if you protect your princess, you are completely different from how you protected her back then."
My heart was shocked, and a ray of sweetness slowly emerged from the sourness in my heart. Moge's sharp eyesight could not be hidden from him, but he could also tell Xuanqing's affection for me. In a certain year and month, if others find out,
What kind of thunderous storm would it be like?
Xuan Qing didn't say much, and just said: "Khan, please go back to the palace, and Xiao Wang will have three more drinks with you. How about that?"
