After dawn, the city gate was opened, and the two entered the imperial capital. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Le Ma stopped at the gate of the palace, helped the woman to get off the horse, and just two steps off the ground, she went limp, and almost fell to the ground.

Zhou Ming helped her again, and said with concern: "Miss Yu'er, are you okay?" or I'll take it somewhere else to rest and go back to the palace later." "Shangguan Yu'er's buds are first broken, and it can be called crazy to ask for it last night, and the sequelae are naturally like this: the walking posture is limping, and after pulling the wound, the eyebrows are twisted from time to time, and the face is extremely unnatural.

The woman gently pushed him away, and said with a flat face: "Mr. Zihua doesn't have to help me, Yu'er can go back to the palace alone." ”

After saying that, she adjusted herself for a few seconds, straightened up, and walked forward with a standard court step, her face returning to normal.

"Miss Yu'er, one day, my Tian Zihua will marry you!"

Zhou Ming stopped the back of the man who walked a few steps away.

The woman turned around and smiled, and said in a free and easy tone: "If you can get Mr. Zihua's words, Shangguan Yu'er, this life is enough." ”

This smile made Zhou Ming slightly distracted, and he had to sigh: Da Zhou woman, how dare to love and hate, when she meets a man who loves her, she puts down her reserve, like a moth to a fire, and does not hesitate to entrust her body and mind, even if there is no result, she is not entangled in hypocrisy, and she never regrets it.

A replay also appeared in his mind like a movie, his wife Cui Rou, concubine Chu Jingling, and the four concubines who were born as maids all seemed to be like this, and all their hearts were put on themselves.

Even Princess Anping, who was going to save this time, he had actually felt it a long time ago, and her affection for herself had never diminished, only deepened.

"It seems that the love debt I have to bear in this life will not be less, but only more. ”

However, he will not be particularly troubled by this, he will accept it if he can, and if he can't accept it, he will not accept it, grasp the proportion, not be short of breath, not fall into the love of children, do not entangle or force, maintain the balance of all aspects, and everything can go naturally.

……

Back in the palace, Shangguan Yu'er first went to the inner court to report (people in the palace are not allowed to leave at will, and the itinerary must be reported daily), then went to take a bath, changed into clean clothes, had lunch, and rushed to Furong Garden in the afternoon of the same day, begged to see the emperor Li Zhi and the queen Wu Mei, and presented this "On the Great Power".

"Tian Zihua is writing an article again? I haven't read his article for a long time. ”

Emperor Li Zhi said excitedly, maybe Tian Zihua has produced too few works in the past few months, he feels that his head hurts more recently, and his daughter Anping is not sensible, so he doesn't come to accompany him, he also learned from Mei Niang's mouth: In order to prevent the Great Zhou and the Turks from raising swords again, for the peace of the people of the two countries, she felt a great responsibility, and took the initiative to make peace, willing to marry the Turkic king, and keep the peace between the two countries forever.

Li Zhi, who heard the news at that time, was dumbfounded, thinking: Is there something that his daughter Anping can't think of, and she wants to do such a stupid thing?

In the 100 years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has made peace with neighboring countries more than a dozen times, but it has not seen the sword soldiers stop, and the battle must be fought again, and no one has shown mercy to anyone's subordinates.

Therefore, he wanted to call his daughter Anping over, do some ideological work, and persuade her to dispel this idea, but Queen Wu Mei rarely came to see him in the past few days, and also said that she would persuade Anping and promised to persuade her daughter back, Li Zhi also put his mind at ease.

"On the big country?"

Wu Mei, the queen on the side, her eyelids jumped, and a trace of something bad welled up in her heart, what does Tian Zihua want to do?

Shangguan Yu'er held the article, cleared her throat, and read it in a frustrated voice.

Emperor Li Zhi and Queen Wu Mei opened their ears to listen carefully, and when they heard some of the arguments in the article, they all nodded again and again, quite agreeing.

After reading most of the article, Wu Mei, the queen of heaven, didn't hear any problems, felt that everything was normal, and even sighed regretfully: Tian Zihua, why can't you be used by me?

Suddenly, her face changed suddenly, and she even wanted to snatch the article and tear it to pieces!

But it was too late, she heard: "Shun, standing for a hundred years without falling, never dying in the surrounding Hu people, because he is not a minister, does not pay tribute, does not make peace, does not cut the land, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies!

After listening to this sentence, Wu Mei, who felt bad, heard a heavy panting sound in her ears, turned her head to look, but saw Emperor Li Zhi, his face was flushed, panting like a cow, trembling all over, his eyes were round, and he suddenly sat up from the bed, roaring like thunder: "What a person who is not a minister, does not pay tribute, does not make peace with relatives, does not cut the land, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies! I can do it, I can do it!"

After speaking, Emperor Li Zhi seemed to have been clicked on the acupoint, and he remained motionless there, without blinking his eyelids or breathing, for more than three minutes.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Mei noticed that something was wrong, and quickly patted him on the back, but there was no response, and the person seemed to be dead.

"Your Majesty!!" Wu Mei shouted, with a little crying in her voice.

"I'm here~"

Li Zhi, who had been stiff for a long time, Mu Ran's expression suddenly relaxed, a trace of dazedness flashed in his eyes, as if he had forgotten what had just happened, and then with a look of ecstasy, he suddenly jumped up from the bed and said: "My head doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt at all, it's cool, it's cool!"

After the memory in his mind was restored, Li Zhi walked barefoot in front of Shangguan Yu'er, bent down, picked up the article she had just thrown on the ground, dusted it lightly, solemnly held it in his hand, and after scanning the text on it again, he praised: "This "On Great Powers", when framed on my bedside, read it three times a day, with the ambition of Mingzhen!"

At the same time, he sighed again: "Mr. Zihua, you are so talented, how can you be willing to assist Da Zhou?

Li Zhi remembered the allusions of Corporal Lixian and the three visits to the thatched house.

But with the emperor's noble body, looking at the lower-class Qiantou grass people, this posture seems to be too low and not very formal.

However, as long as he can say that those great talents can enter the office, he is really asked to go to the thatched house, and what is left in the history books is also a good story of a virtuous monarch and a famous minister.

And with Tian Zihua's talent, he is enough to become the protagonist of this good story!

For a while, Li Zhi's heart was about to move.

Wu Mei, the queen of heaven on the side, looked at the emperor who was originally sick, and now she looked so radiant, that her teeth itched, but at the same time, she also understood: It is impossible for her daughter Anping to marry the Turkic king, on the contrary, she has to adjust her strategy and bring back the few lies she told before, so that Emperor Li Zhi will not be resentful and dissatisfied with her, and she has to find a way to seal the mouths of some people, so as not to let everyone know that the idea of sending Princess Anping and pro-Turkic is her out.

After thinking about it for a while, she rolled her eyes and thought of a good solution.

……

Daming Palace, in the room of Princess Anping.

"Ping'er, the queen mother was just angry at that time, and she didn't have the idea of letting you and pro-Turkic, your father has already said me, and the queen mother also asked the Turkic envoy to withdraw from the kiss...... Ping'er, you are eighteen years old, and your sister Changping is already a mother of two children at this age...... For the sake of your marriage, the queen mother broke her heart, Ping'er, can't you let the queen mother let go of her heart?"

Wu Mei, the queen of heaven, took her daughter Anping's hand, wiped the corners of her eyes with Sijuan, while speaking seriously and harshly criticizing, and occasionally looked helpless as a mother.

"Queen Mother, An Ping knows that he is wrong!"

Princess Anping burst into tears, threw herself into Wu Mei's arms, and said with great self-reproach: "Queen Mother, Anping is obedient! Anping agreed to find a man to marry, no matter who this man is, as long as he is not married far away and relatives, Anping is willing to listen to the arrangement of the queen mother and no longer be willful!"

After such a big blow, Princess Anping finally chose to give in, let go of the obsession in her heart, and just wanted not to live in a nightmarish world in the future.

"Ping'er, it's right that you can think so, the queen mother also knows, who you like in your heart, Ping'er, the queen mother will ask you, are you willing to marry that Tian Zihua? If you are willing, the queen mother will make the decision for you, summon that Tian Zihua into the palace, and ask him for his opinion on this matter, if he is also interested in you, the queen mother will not object to you being together......"

Wu Mei, the queen of heaven, whispered something in the ear of Princess Anping that surprised and delighted her.

Princess Anping buried her head and said with a red sermon: "Queen Mother, Mr. Zihua already has a wife, and he is a loving and righteous person, how could he do that thing of divorce and marry me again......"

The princess of the royal family, the body of a daughter, it is impossible to marry anyone as a concubine, not even a flat wife, she must be a wife!

Because, the royal family must reflect the dignity and dignity of being a royal family, although sometimes Princess Anping herself will feel that as long as she can stay with the man she loves, it doesn't matter if she has no name.

But......

If she really dares to be someone else's concubine and do something that damages the dignity of the royal family, not to mention that her father and queen mother can't tolerate herself, the entire royal family will also shout and kill, no matter how far she goes to the ends of the earth, there will be no place for her.

And Mr. Zihua's wife Cui Rou, Princess Anping has also seen many times, is a lively and cheerful, simple and kind woman, on the mahjong table, the two have played mahjong together several times, and the relationship is very good.

Therefore, Princess Anping, who is also kind-hearted, can't do anything to hurt this woman.

"Ping'er, don't worry, the queen mother has a sense of proportion, and there is no need to ask Tian Zihua to divorce his wife, and she can marry you ...... Mingmei"

Wu Mei, the queen of heaven, said a bunch of words in her ear to ensure the best of both worlds.

Hearing these assurances, Princess Anping's voice became weaker and weaker, and her head was buried lower and lower, and when she got to the back, she didn't hear what the queen mother was saying at all, nor did she see the cold murderous intent that occasionally flashed in her eyes, but she just fell into her own happy longing, and became more and more drunk.

……

Early the next morning.

Zhou Ming, who was edicted into the palace, waited in the side hall all morning, and at noon, he was summoned by Wu Mei, the queen of heaven.

"Your Royal Highness the Queen of Heaven, it's not that the grass people don't want to marry the princess as a wife, it's that the grass people already have a wife, she and the grass people have been childhood sweethearts and have a deep relationship, and the grass people can't do the rich and divorced wife. ”

Princess Anping, who was hiding behind the curtain, heard the words of the man in the palace, her smile gradually solidified, her heart was extremely bitter, her sorrow was greater than her death, and she couldn't help but roll down her tears.

It's impossible, it's impossible between them, as long as his wife is still there, they will never be together, even if this man has just said in person, "Being able to marry a princess is something that the grass people are extremely happy to ask for."

But after the word "just", everything is back to reality.

However, Princess Anping, who was overwhelmed with grief, suddenly heard her mother Wu Mei, and said in a cold tone: "You don't need to be rich and divorced from your wife, you just need to wait until the auspicious day of the zodiac and marry my daughter Anping.

Especially when she heard the words "send someone" and "solve", she immediately thought of something.

"Queen Mother, did you send someone to Mr. Zihua's house to poison Mr. Zihua's wife?"

Princess Anping, who still had tears on her face, walked out from behind the curtain and questioned her mother Wu Mei.

"What?!"

Zhou Ming, who was a little confused by the strange words that the queen Wu Mei said just now, was taken aback, pointed at the queen Wu Mei and reprimanded loudly: "Your Highness the Queen of Heaven, did you really do this?"

"What if I do it, people are sent out early in the morning, and your wife must have been dead for a long time!"

Queen Wu Mei's tone was cold, and seeing his anxious look, she was very relieved!

"You...... I'll kill you to pay for her life!"

Zhou Ming clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and after knocking the two eunuchs away, he rushed to the palace to kill Wu Mei, so frightened that her face was colorless, she got up and ran, and shouted "Help, help!"

If it weren't for Princess Anping, who was standing not far away, desperately grabbed Zhou Ming, who had almost lost her mind, and cried and begged: "Mr. Zihua, go back and see your wife, she may not have drunk the poisoned wine yet, and she is not dead yet! Don't kill my mother, everything is because of me, if you want to kill me, kill me!"

Zhou Ming calmed down a little, and heard the footsteps of a team of guards hurrying towards her, and immediately hugged her, gave up chasing Wu Mei, turned around and rushed outside the palace.

After the alarm gong sounded, almost all the elite guards in the palace took action at this time, and there was a sound of "catch the assassin" and "kill the person in white", he had to stimulate his full potential, rushed like lightning, knocked down a hundred elite guards all the way, and directly killed the Daming Palace.

After riding the red dragon horse, a hundred miles away, his speed did not decrease, and it only took half an hour to run, and after arriving at the mansion in Fengyang Village, he rushed into the gate, desperately looking for his wife Cui Rou, and found that she was sitting in a pavilion in the backyard, playing with a wine glass in her hand, the wine glass contained an amber liquid, thick as gold juice, exuding a special aroma, she couldn't help but raise her glass, to pour the wine into her mouth.

"Can't drink it!"

Zhou Ming rushed over and slapped the wine glass in her hand with one palm, and with a click, the wine glass smashed on the ground.

"Husband, this is the Baihua Jade Liquor that the Queen of Heaven gave me, what's wrong with me stealing a drink?"

Wife Cui Rou looked aggrieved, tears rolled in her eyes, after she received the pot of wine specially given to her by the queen of heaven, she wanted to listen to the eunuch's words, and drank it on the spot, but she wanted to keep it until her husband came back, and the two shared it together, so she never drank it.

It's just that after being aroused by the aroma of wine, she couldn't help but want to taste a cup first, but she was treated like this by her husband.

"Don't drink it, it's poisoned wine!"

Zhou Ming motioned his wife to look, but saw that the marble on the ground that had been splashed with wine bubbled a large number of white bubbles and made a sizzling sound.

"Ahh

His wife, Cui Rou, widened her eyes in disbelief.

……

In the evening of the same day, before a large number of chasing soldiers from the imperial court, Zhou Ming, who felt that it was not suitable to stay for a long time, ordered everyone in the mansion to simply clean up, get into the carriage, take all the clan soldiers, and return to his hometown in Qingzhou!

"Your Royal Highness, how are you ......?"

The convoy walked less than ten miles, and under the bright moonlight, in front of the road, a figure wearing a smock and riding on a strong horse appeared, looking quite familiar, and Zhou Ming, who rode forward, was taken aback.

Princess Anping!

"Mr. Zihua, I am homeless, can you take me to the end of the world? I don't spare my reputation, you live up to me?" asked the woman with two lines of crystal tears on her face.

"You are already like this, I will bear you again, how can God tolerate it!"

Zhou Ming rode to her approach, stretched out his hand to wrap his waist, hugged her into his arms, and let her lean on his shoulder and cry, crying with endless relaxation and joy.

She said in her heart: Mr. Zihua, it's good to be with you and stay together......
