With their backs to the bloody sun, the garrison rode his horse and whipped and galloped on the rugged wilderness road.

Four years ago, she was ordered to disguise herself as a man again and lead the army to the battle, and her husband announced in public: "When he returns triumphantly from the Japanese guard, this king will surely fall into the city!"

Nuo'er, she and her husband married in the ninth year, in the case of gathering less and leaving more, after two miscarriages, the son who finally gave birth to was not clear, before the expedition, the little guy could not speak clearly, just use the strength to eat milk and hold her leg without letting go, crying inarticulately: "Mother, don't go, you want to hug!"

Ya Jia, her twin sister who will never grow up, if she can't see her for so long, she will definitely make trouble, and she will let her husband rack his brains to appease her.

Because of them, she gritted her teeth and persevered, fought bloodily, escaped death several times, and ended up with a scar, but fortunately, she did not lose her reputation as a victorious general, and won a big victory again.

A few days ago, on the way back, she received a handwritten letter from her husband, and when she opened it, there were only four words written on it - Wangqing will return quickly!

She never needed any glory to welcome her, she only hoped that she could reunite as soon as possible and reunite her husband and wife, so she handed over the military affairs to Huan Yu, carried the Qiang people's descending letter alone, traveled lightly, and ran all night!

As long as she crossed the grove in front of her and went to the official road, the home she thought about day and night was within reach, and she waved another whip, and her hoarse voice revealed a thick joy: "Driving-" The horse's hooves kicked up dust, and in an instant, it plunged into the shade of the tree, and the corners of her mouth curled up a little: "Yajia, Nuo'er, Jingyuan - I'm back!"

Walking through the forest, looking up, the smile completely bloomed.

On the official road, the stubborn guards lined up in a neat row, and there was a luxury ox cart parked in front of the procession, which was specially made for her by a well-known craftsman who was specially hired by the husband to spend a lot of money to make it for her, and the day before the expedition, the husband took time out of his busy schedule to take her and Nuo'er out to play, and their family of three was riding in this mica car.

The husband and son were so close that Wei Jian couldn't fly over, so he didn't delay for a moment, and arrived in front of the car in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, a maid set up her feet behind the carriage, and another maid lifted the curtain and helped down a woman dressed in plain clothes with a slightly bulging lower abdomen.

After the woman stood still, she lightly lifted her lips: "Your Highness expects that General Dingwei will return today, but your movements are also a little slower, tell my sister to wait!"

Wei Ji turned over and dismounted, but felt a familiar fragrance coming to her nose, causing her to sneeze twice in succession, raise her hand and rub her nose, and her eyes swept over the woman's finely drawn eyebrows, as well as the bright red skirt faintly exposed under the plain white robe, and finally fixed on the woman's bulging lower abdomen: "How long has my sister waited?"

This is indeed her sister, named Wei Min, but she and Wei Jia have the same half-mother, due to the special situation, so the stepmother also sent Wei Min to the palace, that is to say, Wei Min is her husband's nominal Mrs. Ru.

Wei Min stroked his lower abdomen: "It's almost a stick of incense." ”

Wei Ji didn't want to ask Wei Min what was going on with her stomach, she only cared about the three people who were closest to her, moved her gaze from Wei Min's lower abdomen to the ox cart, and once again confirmed that there was no one behind the shaking curtain, and said in a low voice: "I'm really sorry to keep my sister waiting." After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "What about Your Highness?"

Wei Min responded: "I was invited by Duke Yu to go to his mansion for a banquet." ”

Wei Jian became nervous: "But what's the matter?"

Wei Min said "oh": "The scenery of Yu Gong's garden has been very good these days, so I invite His Royal Highness to taste wine and enjoy the flowers." ”

Wei Wei was slightly stunned: "Wine tasting and flower appreciation?"

Wei Min laughed: "It's not so much about appreciating flowers, it's better to say it's rewarding people, you don't know it all year round, but no one in this Jiangdong clan knows that the granddaughter of Duke Yu's cousin is over fifteen years old, and this morning's ceremony, flower appreciation is just a beginning, and it is the original intention to celebrate it." ”

Wei Jia blurted out: "Your Highness actually went to participate in this kind of banquet, is it unreasonable?"

Wei Min's smile revealed a hint of mockery: "A person who is already thirty years old is still so dead-eyed, this so-called 'reasonable' is not 'reasonable', it doesn't depend on whether His Highness has that heart, if there is that heart, it is reasonable if it is unreasonable, if it does not have that heart, it is unreasonable and unreasonable." He touched his lower abdomen twice: "What's more, that one is still the future queen mother, the mother of a country!"

"What queen?"

Wei Min stepped forward and whispered in Wei Yan's ear: "Sister, our husband is about to ascend the throne as emperor, you have worked hard for so many years, and you finally have to taste your long-cherished wish to send him to that position, are you happy?"

There was a thunder on the ground, and the head of the garrison was muddy.

Wei Min didn't wait for her to respond, and continued: "But the so-called gains must be gained, and now this result is also inevitable, you can see the point." He smiled a little weirdly: "Fortunately, as long as you help our husband for the last time, you don't have to worry about the rest of the things." ”

The guard reflexively continued: "What 'loss', what 'last time'?"

But Wei Min had already stepped back, and his voice was raised: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you must miss Yajia and Nuo'er very much, before I go out, His Royal Highness specially asked me to take you to see them." ”

Looking at Wei Min's expression, Wei Min's heart twitched inexplicably, and she raised her hand to press her chest: "What about them?"

"In the other courtyard, not far from here. ”

So, Wei Ji followed Wei Min in the opposite direction to home.

It is said that it is another courtyard, but in fact it is just a small village courtyard located in the mountain col, sitting alone in the mountains and rivers, obviously it is time to hold the lamp, but the courtyard is still pitch black, like a deserted house.

Seeing this, the guard chuckled in his heart, grabbed the reins, and turned his head to look at the ox cart.

Wei Min's majestic words came out through the curtain: "Anyway, I was once a person from the palace, what kind of blind dog slave dares to be so lazy, explain it, and let them go to the steward to receive the punishment." ”

After a while, two white lanterns were lit at the entrance of the house, and the guard stared straight at the faint light: "What does 'Zeng' mean?"

Wei Min didn't answer and asked: "Didn't you keep passing the book to your husband saying that you wanted to see them earlier, well, right there, why do you have to hesitate?"

Through the curtain, Wei Ji couldn't see Wei Min's expression, but she could hear that there was a chill in Wei Min's voice, and her head was even more messy.

Walking through the gate, without pause, lying on the back of the horse, breaking into the courtyard, and then looking up, the whole person froze.

As far as the eye can see, the spirit flags waving in the wind, and the eye-catching filial piety curtains all indicate what is happening here.

The guard shook and fell down from the horse: "Who, who went?"

Wei Min stepped out of the ox cart and ordered the guards to wait outside the door to listen to the order, while she herself was supported by two maids to enter the door, walked to the side of the guard and stopped, and said condescendingly: "I originally planned to go in to see them for the last time...... and raised her hand to caress her bulging belly:" But my womb is His Royal Highness's flesh and blood, his status is noble and extraordinary, and he can't make a mistake, in case he enters this ominous place and is hit by filth, His Highness blames it, and these servants who are waiting with me have to lose their lives, and people can't be resurrected after death, so there is no way to do it, I always have to think more about the people living around me, sister, you say, is this the truth?"

The garrison struggled to his feet, and staggered into the humble mourning hall, where only three or four old slaves with erickcy bodies stood in front of the two mourning beds placed side by side.

Wei Ju trembled and uncovered the corner of the cloth that covered it, and looked down at a pair of wide-open eyes, which she had imagined not long ago that when she saw them again, they must have been full of tears, silently accusing her of another deception, and wondering how to coax their owners into laughter, but now, they could not even move, it was a real blind eye.

After turning around with difficulty, and trying a few times, he finally lifted the cloth on the other side, revealing a handsome little face with eyebrows that resembled hers, and then down was a small hand clenched into a fist, and the corner of the beast's head with rough stitches protruded from the tiger's mouth—it was a birthday gift that she had embroidered for him with her own hands.

Seeing this scene, Wei Jia only felt that his heart seemed to have been stabbed twice, and he vomited a mouthful of blood, and subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it, but his body slowly fell down, and finally fell to the ground with a thud, and cried out heartbreakingly: "Yajia, Nuo'er, I'm back, you get up and look at me!"

After crying for a long time, he came back to his senses, pulled out the Zhan Lu sword at his waist, turned around and rushed out of the mourning hall, and came to Wei Min: "Why did they die?"

Wei Min pinched the embroidered handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, and said lightly: "Accidental drowning." He didn't even say a polite word of comfort, and continued: "Since people have already seen it, let's start talking about serious things." Take a little back two steps: "Your Highness ascends the throne, you have to borrow your sister's head, and I hope my sister will be successful." Sen Ran smiled: "For my sister, it's not too difficult, it's much easier than leading troops to fight, isn't it!"

Wei Ji stared at Wei Min in astonishment: "What did you say?"

"His Highness had been in a difficult situation at home and abroad, with turmoil on the border, years of war, and displacement of the people; He smiled: "The Qiang people sent a secret envoy, saying that as long as Your Highness is willing to sacrifice your head to comfort the souls of their 100,000 soldiers in the sky, they will cut the city and sacrifice the land to show their sincerity in concluding the alliance;

Wei Jia raised his head and laughed, laughing and laughing, tears sliding down: "So, the deaths of Yajia and Nuo'er are not an accident!" gritted his teeth: "I have been born and died for him for more than ten years, and if he does this, he is not afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers?"
