279: Fate
The thirteen princes spoke earnestly, and their expressions were also very serious. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
No one knew that his clenched palms were already covered with cold sweat.
This is undoubtedly a disaster for the Thirteen Princes.
During these days, not only him, but also other royal people, all of them were cautious and frightened step by step.
Emperor Yuanding's temper is becoming more and more unpredictable, especially a few days ago, he almost killed the eunuch who had served for many years.
At this time, the Thirteenth Prince wished that everyone would not notice him.
He can't imagine that he will end up in a bad end like the Nine Princes.
The people who were able to compete with Emperor Wanqi today for the emperor back then were all so miserable, life was worse than death. So how dare he, a coward, provoke Emperor Wanqi?
It's just that the thirteenth prince never thought that his daughter would actually provoke a person who shouldn't be messed with the most......
"It's not that I can't just forget it. Even if the person in front of him is His Majesty's half-brother and the high-ranking prince, Xiao Yuzhu still does not say anything or humble, "I can't make this decision for Yan Yan." ”
The Thirteenth Prince is a smart person, and after listening to Xiao Yuzhu's words, he immediately said, "This king will definitely deal with this matter, and then come to apologize to Miss Seven in person." ”
Xiao Yuzhu smiled lightly and said no more.
Verbal deception is the favorite trap used by people in officialdom, and he wants to look at the facts, not a few faint words of blame.
The thirteenth prince gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
The thirteenth prince does not have many daughters under his knees, and the one he loves the most is also the lord of Yongtai, but no matter how much he loves this child, if this child threatens his future and life, then he can also abandon it.
After the thirteenth prince left, Mei Jinxue looked at Xiao Yuzhu beside her and said, "This is ...... What's going on. ”
"In this palace, who else is there besides me and you?" Xiao Yuzhu said lightly.
Mei Jinxue didn't think much about it, and understood that the person who would make the thirteenth prince bow his head was Bai Congjian.
In the past, she also heard her father mention Bai Congjian, and in her father's words, she was more in awe of Bai Congjian than in appreciation. At the time, she was still curious about why her father would treat a teenager who didn't go out much, especially since he was a businessman...... Especially now that she has seen the actions of the Thirteen Princes, she is even more curious.
How did this person do it?
"It's late at night, go back early and rest. Xiao Yuzhu's voice pulled Mei Jinxue's thoughts back.
He turned around and walked a few steps, and when the cold wind blew, he suddenly paused again, turned around and took off the cloak he was wearing, handed it to Mei Jinxue, and then walked into his yard.
His movements were fast, not giving Mei Jinxue the slightest chance to refuse.
Mei Jinxue was stunned, looking at the roe deer in her hand that still had residual warmth, and couldn't help laughing, "Obviously a very smart person, but he always has to pretend to be confused." ”
Xiao Yuzhu obviously has her in her heart, but every time she has to refuse her thousands of miles away.
It was a real embarrassment for her.
Thinking of this, Mei Jinxue slowly retracted her thoughts, looked at Xiao Ziyu and smiled lightly, "In a few days, there should be news." ”
"News?" Xiao Ziyu was a little confused, "What news?"
Mei Jinxue sighed helplessly, "These things were sent by the Thirteenth Prince to make amends, what news do you say you will hear?"
If the matter of the Thirteenth Prince is not handled well, Bai Congjian will definitely not give up.
This seemingly gentle and jade-like young master of the Bai family is actually very resentful sometimes.
"These things. Xiao Ziyu raised his hand, stroked the dazzling gold and silver jewelry on the table, and frowned, "I can't accept it." ”
"You'd better take it. Mei Jinxue blinked, "If you don't accept it, I'm afraid I'm going to have a headache when I look at the Thirteenth Prince, after all, ...... He's thinking about how to apologize to you!"
Xiao Ziyu: "......"
Although Xiao Ziyu has always known that many people she knows have a sense of awe for Bai Congjian, she was like this at first in her previous life. But after really being in contact with Bai Congjian for a long time, I realized that this person's behavior is difficult not to be admired.
Mei Jinxue's words are indeed true.
If it is Bai Congjian, then the Thirteen Princes will indeed be afraid.
The funny thing is that this person is clearly not a person with power.
Xiao Ziyu is a person who is afraid of trouble, and he also knows very well that the thirteenth prince will send these things, but he is actually afraid of Bai Congjian and not her. Moreover, she didn't want the Thirteenth Prince to come and apologize to her in person, she felt that it was best not to disturb her life.
She thought for a while, then took the things, and then ordered someone to pack them up, and when she left the palace, she handed them to Bai Congjian with her own hands.
She is just a fox and a fake tiger now, and these things are hot.
However, the Thirteenth Prince is indeed a quick person.
However, in just a few days, someone came from the palace that Concubine An in the palace was seriously ill and asked the county lord of Yongtai to serve her when she was sick.
Xiao Ziyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this.
She asked the grandmother next to her who came to tell her words, "Do you mean Concubine An?"
"Back to Miss Seven, it's Concubine An. Mama replied respectfully.
Concubine An was once an inconspicuous concubine beside the first emperor, because she became a concubine after keeping to herself, and she was not buried with it. But in the palace, how many people can survive are scheming?
After Empress Dowager Jiang became the empress dowager, she was very bad for the concubines left by the first emperor, and the situation of this Empress Dowager An was actually very bad.
Someone once said that the place where the concubines lived was comparable to a cold palace without daylight.
If the county lord of Yongtai went to Concubine An's side, he would not have the opportunity to step out of the palace gate in the future.
Such a proud girl, living in a palace like a cold palace, isn't life worse than death?
It's just that Xiao Ziyu doesn't understand why the thirteenth prince wants to send the lord of Yongtai to Concubine An's side.
The grandmother standing beside Xiao Ziyu seemed to understand what Xiao Ziyu was thinking, and immediately explained, "Concubine An likes the county lord very much, she once said that the county lord is like her daughter, and it would be better if the county lord could always be by her side." ”
Xiao Ziyu's hand trembled slightly.
If she remembers correctly, this Concubine An had a daughter back then, but this child died early.
How can a child who died early be similar to the head of Yongtai County?
Mama just added the word "always......
seems to be telling Xiao Ziyu that it is impossible for the county lord of Yongtai to get out of that temple alive in this life.
"I see. Xiao Ziyu waved his hand and asked Mama to step back.
Mama immediately took the order to retreat.
After the grandmother left, Chu Xue frowned and looked at Xiao Ziyu and said, "Miss, are you okay?"
Regardless of whether this grandmother is kind or well-intentioned, how can such words be said to her own young lady?
Moreover, for the aggressive county lord, Chu Xue did not have the slightest good impression.
"It's fine. Xiao Ziyu waved his hand, and after his mood eased a little, he said, "Are all the clothes I asked you to prepare?"
Hatsuyuki nodded, "Ready." ”
The hot spring water in the palace is very comfortable to soak.
Mei Jinxue would take Xiao Ziyu to the hot springs almost every day and talk about some recent events in the capital to relieve Xiao Ziyu's anxiety.
The news that Xiao Siye and the Eighth Prince are at the border is also intermittent, which makes Xiao Ziyu feel at ease.
Fortunately, Mei Jinxue is here.
"Miss, do you want to bring some plum wine today?" asked Chu Xue again.
Xiao Ziyu thought for a while and nodded, "Take it." ”
She really liked the taste of plum wine.
During these days, when Mei Jinxue was talking to her, she often asked about Xiao Yuzhu. Every time Mei Jinxue asked, Xiao Ziyu would answer...... Mei Jinxue was very interested in Xiao Yuzhu's things when she was young, and every time she listened to it, she was full of relish.
Even once, when Xiao Yuzhu came to deliver something, Mei Jinxue called Xiao Yuzhu like Xiao Ziyu, third brother.
Xiao Yuzhu was stunned for a moment.
Seeing his brother, who was accustomed to his coldness, rejecting people thousands of miles away, and seeing his stunned appearance, Xiao Ziyu also felt very interesting.
She really didn't guess wrong, Mei Jinxue was very suitable for Xiao Yuzhu.
As soon as Xiao Ziyu and Chu Xue walked out of the courtyard, they saw the little girl next to Mei Jinxue running in in a hurry.
The little girl ran out of breath, and when she saw Xiao Ziyu, she almost couldn't stand on her feet and fell to the ground.
Chu Xue immediately stopped and said to the sweaty little girl, "Jiu'er, what's wrong?"
The little girl called Jiu'er stood firm with the tree next to her, her eyes were ruddy, "Seven...... Miss Seven, my young lady...... It's gone. ”
"You take a breath and say. Xiao Ziyu frowned, and an ominous thought vaguely rose in his heart.
Jiu'er's body is thin, she has been by Mei Jinxue's side since she was a child, and her temperament is also a little similar to Mei Jinxue.
When she stopped panting, she said, "My young lady read a letter, then packed up her things and left. She was in such a hurry that I was not allowed to follow ......"
"The young lady also said that if she can't come back, let me tell the lord that she is not filial. ”
Xiao Ziyu's body was cold, she looked at Jiu'er and said, "What letter?"
Jiu'er immediately took out the letter from his cuff and handed it to Xiao Ziyu, "There is a war in North Vietnam. ”
In fact, the border of Great Chu has never been stable, and although Dongyi's attack is not expected by everyone, it will not surprise people too much. It's just that at this time, North Vietnam suddenly launched a war against Da Chu, which Xiao Ziyu never expected.
This matter came a little earlier than in the previous life.
Her hand holding the letter trembled slightly.
There are very few words on the letter.
It's just written, North Vietnam attacked the border, and the North Vietnamese emperor drove the expedition in person.
"Miss Seven, what should I do......" Jiu'er saw that Xiao Ziyu's face was not good, and she was even more anxious, "My young lady will never say these things casually, what's wrong with her." ”
Xiao Ziyu calmed down his thoughts and comforted Jiu'er, "It's okay, I'll send someone to find her, don't be impatient." ”
After Xiao Ziyu said these words, he turned around and ran towards Xiao Yuzhu's courtyard.
As a result, as she expected, Xiao Yuzhu didn't know when she left the palace, and even Laifu and Laiwang were not in the courtyard.
He walked cleanly.
Xiao Ziyu secretly screamed in his heart.
Like in his previous life, Xiao Yuzhu said goodbye, and then there was no news, as if there had never been such a person in this world.
In her previous life, she didn't know Xiao Yuzhu's life experience, so she naturally didn't understand why Xiao Yuzhu did this. But now she knows, and she also knows that what Xiao Yuzhu is thinking in her heart is nothing more than wanting to fulfill his father's promise back then, so that North Vietnam and Dachu will no longer go to war.
But how can a Xiao Yuzhu resist the thousands of troops and horses of North Vietnam?
Stupid, stupid.
She frowned and instructed Hatsuyuki, "Go and prepare the carriage, let's go back." ”
As soon as Xiao Ziyu turned around, he saw Bai Congjian standing outside the courtyard.
He was still dressed in plain clothes, draped in a thick fox fur, and held a letter in his hand.
He said, "Yanyan, come here." ”
Xiao Ziyu frowned, and when she approached Bai Congjian, she found that the letter in Bai Congjian's hand had handwriting written on it that she was very familiar with.
This handwriting is Xiao Yuzhu's.
She looked at Bai Congjian in surprise, "You already knew?"
All of them knew that once again they kept her in the dark?
"Nope. Bai Congjian replied, "A few months earlier than I expected." ”
"Yuzhu knew that this would happen, so she prepared two letters in advance, one for you and one for you...... It's for Aunt Gu. ”
"It's not that I want to hide it from you, but Yuzhu hopes that you can respect his choice. ”
……………………………………………………………………………………
For Xiao Yuzhu, there are some promises that must be fulfilled, even if he knows that it takes a lot of things to fulfill this promise.
He sat in the carriage and couldn't help coughing.
The half-cut wooden sign he was holding in his right hand almost fell out of his hand because he coughed violently.
North Vietnam and Da Chu went to war, which was something he expected.
It's just too early......
Xiao Yuzhu lowered his eyes, looked at the wooden sign in his hand, and fell into deep thought.
In fact, it is really a gift from God that he can live.
If it weren't for Xiao Siye who saved him, then he should have accompanied his mother on the road with his father, instead of continuing to live.
Sometimes, Xiao Yuzhu also thinks that being alive is not a good thing for him. Especially after knowing his life experience, he is often overwhelmed by his life experience.
Over the years, Xiao Siye and the Gu family have treated him very well, but he is ashamed of being so good.
He felt like a person without a conscience, who couldn't serve Xiao Siye and the Gu family for a long time.
Da Da Da -
Xiao Yuzhu leaned back and listened to the sound of horses' hooves approaching the carriage.
The man hurried, apparently to catch up with his carriage.
He took a deep breath and said to the outside of the carriage, "Laifu, did you get rid of people?"
I used to think that it was really tiring to live.
But now he is actually cowardly to death.
Want to live.
"Get rid of me?" A female voice came in from outside, "Xiao Yuzhu, you coward, you are still running away from me!
