The horse's hooves were wrapped in gauze, and it was a well-trained war horse, and it landed very lightly, plus Chu Feng, who was driving the car, was skilled enough to dodge and dodge, and the carriage rushed all the way from Duanwang's Mansion to Chunxi Lane, where Jingning's Marquis Mansion was located, and it didn't alarm anyone.

"Just stop at the alleyway. Mama Liu whispered what Tang Yu meant.

Chu Feng knew that the master and servant were worried about being seen, so he didn't persuade much, quietly stopped the carriage, jumped down neatly, and put the wooden bench on the ground. This is the new favorite of the prince, if you don't serve it thoroughly, turn around and blow the wind on the pillow in the prince's ear, what should he do if his master who is heavy and light on his subordinates really listens?

Standing aside, watching the little girl walk down tightly, Chu Feng's heart was a little sour.

"Please thank the prince on behalf of our girl. Mama Liu helped Tang Yu, lowered her head and said to Chu Fengdao, and left after a short pause.

Chu Feng touched his nose, looked at the slender figure that the little girl's cloak couldn't hide, and inexplicably thought of the coquettish cry he heard in the prince's courtyard. With a fever in his chest, Chu Feng shook his head and shook off the slightest thought, jumped into the carriage again, and watched the master and servant enter from a distance, before he patted the horse's ass and returned along the same road.

In the Hou Mansion, Mama Liu helped Tang Yu back to her room first, in order to cooperate with tonight's plan, Mama Liu found an excuse to send her new maid to live with other sisters, quiet inside and out, easy to speak.

"Girl, wash your face first. Help Tang Yu sit down, and Mama Liu went to pour water.

Tang Yu had a lot of things in her heart, and she touched her face when she heard Mama Liu say this, she had been crying in the palace for so long, her face was dry, and she suddenly realized that she was probably crying, so there was an explanation for Song Qin's lack of interest. But it's only a matter of time or time, and there's nothing to be thankful about.

After washing her face, Mama Liu brought another cup of tea, and persuaded in a kind voice: "Girl, moisten your throat first, let's talk again." ”

Tang Yu nodded, took the tea bowl and took a sip, the slightly hot tea moistened his throat, Tang Yu was indeed thirsty, and drank two more sips. Mama Liu watched from the side, and let go of most of her heart, the girl should not have much poison unintentionally, drink some tonight, and use some tomorrow, and the poison in the body will be solved. Although she is the person who was installed by the Queen Mother and entered the Hou Mansion, it is true that she has been serving Tang Yu close all these years, and she hopes that the little girl can survive it, compared with fate, what is innocence?

"Girl, what's going on over there?" After putting the tea bowl away, Mama Liu sat beside Tang Yu and asked puzzledly: "Since the prince didn't touch the girl and promised to save the prince, why is the girl still depressed?"

Tang Yu smiled bitterly and lowered his eyes: "Mama, he said that he was not in the mood tonight, let me accompany him for a month, I dare to regret it, even if he saves his father, he will find an excuse to treat his father's sins." ”

Mama Liu took a breath of cold air in horror and rubbed her hands with her handkerchief, "A month?"

Tang Yu looked sideways at the tea bowl on the table, and whispered Song Qin's plan, "Mama, I thought about it on the way, don't tell anyone about this, just the two of us know, tomorrow you go to find a prescription for a rash on someone's face, I will take it at night, and the day after tomorrow I will ask Lang Zhong to come over, and the day after tomorrow I will move to Zhuangzi, just say that the rash will pass on to people, just ask you to serve closely." ”

When she goes to the palace, there must be someone at home to cooperate to help her hide from the world, Mama Liu has prestige, even the Rong family does not dare to offend her, it is the most suitable, and this is the person carefully selected by her aunt for her, teaching her to behave in the world and treat people and things, Tang Yu has always been very trusting.

"Girl, this matter is too big, let's talk to Mrs. Gu?" Mama Liu knelt in front of Tang Yu, begged sincerely, and looked at the little girl sympathetically, "The girl has suffered such a big grievance, if you don't explain it clearly, you will be estranged from your cousin for no reason in the future, and your aunt and cousin will complain about you if they don't know the truth...... My poor girl, why did God do this to you......"

Lying on Tang Yu's lap, he cried lowly.

Tang Yu looked out the window numbly, her tears had dried up, "Sue them, my aunt won't complain about me, but she will feel distressed and guilty, my cousin has always been impulsive, I'm afraid that he will go to the prince and fight hard...... I don't want to see anything else, and it's better to carry it all on me than to add pain to them in vain...... Mama, you don't have to be like this, it'll be fine in a month, my father is back, let's continue to live a quiet life, isn't it good? ”

"But the girl ......"

Tang Yu bent down to help her, "I have made up my mind, Mama doesn't need to persuade me, this matter is related to whether the Tang family can continue to gain a foothold in the capital, I trust Mama with all my heart, and I also ask Mama to keep the secret for me, otherwise if it spreads, I can only ......die."

Mama Liu choked up and interrupted her, and held the little girl's hands tightly, "Don't say it, girl, I promise you, you must be good, don't be distracted." ”

Everything that should be arranged was arranged, and Tang Yu closed his eyes tiredly.

Back in the upper room, Tang Yu changed back into the middle coat he wore before going to bed, lay down for a while, and called Mo Lan.

"Girl?" Mo Lan rubbed her eyes and yawned as she walked in, holding a lamp in her left hand.

"I have a nightmare, I'm sweating, you go to the hot water room to make a sound, prepare water for bathing. Tang Yu lay on his side, rubbing his forehead with one hand, covering most of his face. was hugged and touched by Song Qin, Tang Yu seemed to have a snake coiled around her body, circling up along her ankle, she was uncomfortable.

After the Hou Ye went on the expedition, the girl had been sleeping unsteadily, and nightmares were common, Mo Lan did not doubt him, and lit the lamp in the inner room and went to pass the word. The mother-in-law and maids in the hot water room all rested, and the girl called for water in the middle of the night, and the people muttered two words in their hearts, and obediently got up to do things, and the firewood burned vigorously, and soon the water was boiled, and they carried it back and forth a few times, and returned to the water room to take a nap.

Mo Lan is going to stay and serve.

"You go out, I'll soak in it myself. Tang Yu said excitedly.

Mo Lan looked at her, saw that the girl was in a bad mood, bowed her head and withdrew, and closed the door.

When the person left, Tang Yu walked to the screen, slowly untied her middle clothes, took them off, she picked up the hairpin and put her waist-length hair on the top of her head. The water temperature was just right, Tang Yu stepped into the bathtub and felt the water temperature seep into the skin along his body, dispelling the bone-chilling cold left by Song Qin.

However, when he opened his eyes and saw the body he was once proud of, Tang Yu felt a burst of irony, no matter how clean he was, no matter how beautiful and beautiful he was, it would all fall into his hands in the end, and the man who liked her carefully and cherished her, the man she wanted to marry, between the two, there was no longer any possibility.

Before dawn, the people were still sleeping soundly on their own kangs, and the civil and military ministers were already standing in the palace, waiting for the court.

The little emperor has not yet arrived, but the regent has already arrived, and one person is standing in the front, with a tall back, proud and cold.

A quarter of an hour later, the little emperor arrived on time, and the hundred officials followed behind the regent, stepped into the main hall with heavy steps, and quietly looked up, and found that the little emperor was in good spirits this morning, and the phoenix eyes stared nervously at his imperial uncle. Everyone knows the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Tang family, and naturally knows that the Queen Mother is the least likely to have an accident with Ning Hou, but who will let the regent take power?

The ministers who insisted on continuing to fight the Xiongnu yesterday still insisted on their own views this morning, and Wei Zhao did not sleep all night, but his face was not haggard, and he fought with righteous indignation. In public and private, he can't sit back and watch these villains who tend to be inflammatory, and they will harm his uncle and future father-in-law. Thinking that his cousin was now waiting at home with fear, Wei Zhao stared at Song Qin coldly, and there was a great posture that Song Qin would fight with Song Qin if he dared not to change people.

The ministers below were arguing lively, and Song Qin comfortably leaned on the regent throne, which was only slightly inferior to the dragon chair, and closed his eyes to recuperate. The scene of last night is still in front of me, the little girl pretended to be calm, the little girl cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, the little girl writhed and struggled in his arms like a fish, and she begged him to let her go, and the person was gone, leaving a bed of intoxicating fragrance.

"That's enough, this king has already made up his mind. ”

Opening his eyes, Song Qin slowly sat upright, his eyes swept over the ministers below who were arguing with red ears one by one, and the corners of Song Qin's mouth turned up slightly at Shang Wei Zhao's eyes that he thought were cold but were actually childish. A young man who only acts impulsively with a hot blood, gives him a royal guard, just like he thinks he has a lot of ability, he picks out one from the barracks, he is stronger than Wei Zhao, and he looks better, and he will coax a superficial little girl.

"Jingning Hou loyal to the country, repelled the Huns with great achievements, this king really can't bear to lose another Qi a fierce general, second, and the Xiongnu for nine months, the loss of military pay and military food is too great, and then the war may shake the treasury, labor and money, so agreed to Uwei's request for peace, and ordered Jingning Hou to temporarily take the post of Dingzhou commander-in-chief, rectify the northern frontier defense. ”

As soon as these words came out, both the main battle and the main ones were shocked.

Liang Jing, the secretary of the military department, is a person from Song Qin, and he has never expressed his position on the capture of Tang Muyuan, and finally came out at this time, and seconded the proposal: "What the prince said is very true, the grassland is vast, the Huns fled like a river into the sea, and it is difficult for Daqi to continue to chase and kill, and it is difficult to catch all the troops in vain, and the grassland is inconvenient to govern, it is better to accept Uwei's request for peace, but you have to add a few more points to Uwei's conditions, and you can't be too cheap for him." ”

Song Qin bowed, "Then tell me, how should this truce condition be written?"

With Liang Jing taking the lead, the ministers quickly accepted the truce and turned to discussing what to ask the Huns.

Wei Zhao stood aside, staring at Song Qin's side face, and there was an inexplicable weirdness in his heart. Uncle was saved, he should be happy, but this qiē came too easily, he had to wonder if Song Qin had other calculations, for the sake of reputation and popularity, or ...... Cousin?

Thinking of his sweetheart, Wei Zhao's brows furrowed deeply.

~

In the Marquis of Jingning's mansion, not long after Tang Yu learned the news of the truce in the imperial court, he ushered in a happy and joyful aunt.

"Yu'er, it must be the Queen Mother's persuasion that worked, let's go into the palace to thank the Queen Mother. The younger brother was saved, Tang was very happy, and took his niece's little hand and said with pity: "Look at your face is so bad, you didn't sleep last night, okay? Let's go, let's go to the palace, and go back to my aunt's mother to cook by herself, and make soup for you to nourish your body." ”

Tang Yu forced a smile and went back to the house to change clothes, the matter has come to this point, which can only make her aunt feel that it is indeed the credit of the Queen Mother.

Mama Liu stayed in the hall to accompany the guests, happily as if nothing had happened last night, and then took advantage of Tang's inattention, and quietly stuffed a note into the hand of the maid beside Tang's vase. She is a grandmother, Tang Yu did not take her when she entered the palace, in order to prevent the regent's secret guard spies from discovering the clues, she and the palace could only pass the news in this way.

The vase quietly hid the note, still smiling on his face.

Tang Yu quickly came back after changing her clothes, and before leaving, she glanced at Mama Liu, Mama Liu nodded slightly, as soon as Tang Yu left, she found a small maid that the Queen Mother had placed in the front yard of the Hou Mansion, and asked him to go to a county near the capital to buy the rash prescription that Tang Yu needed. One person and two masters, neither side can delay the command.

Over there, Tang Yu followed her aunt out of the carriage, all the way from the palace gate to Ci'an Palace, and only after entering the courtyard gate, she saw Wei Zhao rushing out when she heard the news, and her bright eyes fell directly on her, and her eyes were full of worry. It's July, the sun is still shining, and he is gradually approaching in a brocade robe, getting closer, but it seems to be shrouded in a hazy halo, so that she can't see clearly.

It's like a person in a dream, no matter how close you are, you can't stay together.
