The Black Widow is locked in a secret passage in the palace.

Meng Nian descended the secret passage and walked outside a stone room. The guard said softly: "Lord Meng, this person hasn't said a word since he was sent in, and he is very quiet. ”

Entering the stone room, looking at the black widow who was meditating with her back against the wall and chanting words in her mouth, Meng Nian sneered: "I didn't expect that the famous black widow actually believed in Buddhism. "Countless people have died at the hands of Black Widow over the years, how can such a person believe in Buddhism.

The black widow didn't seem to hear Meng Nian's words, and the whole person was like a stake, sitting there motionless.

Meng Nian said: "The emperor has sent a letter to Han Yuxi, as long as she is willing to pay one million taels of silver, the emperor will let you go back." The black widow didn't lift her eyelids, and Meng Nian was not annoyed: "Don't worry, as long as Han Yuxi agrees to this condition, we will send you back to the northwest." ”

The black widow was already determined to die, no matter what Meng Nian said, she didn't say anything, and treated herself as a dumb person.

After Meng Nian went out of the secret passage, he went to see Yan Wushuang: "Your Majesty, you really want to send this person back." Seeing Yan Wushuang nodded, Meng Nian said: "Your Majesty, isn't it too child's fun to put the black widow back for one million taels of silver?"

Yan Wushuang hummed and said, "One million taels of silver can be exchanged for two million stone grains." "Yan Wushuang doesn't want silver, but food.

Last year, they got a lot of grain from Jiangnan, but since last year's Jiangnan purge, they have not been able to get grain from Jiangnan. He felt that it was a good deal to exchange a black widow for two million stone of grain.

Meng Nian didn't object when he heard this: "Your Majesty, what if Han Yuxi doesn't agree?"

Yan Wushuang was very confident in this: "Han Yuxi will agree." "The Black Widow knows too much, as long as Han Yuxi is sure that she has not rebelled, she will redeem people.

After dealing with the matter at hand, Yan Wushuang went to Zhanghua Palace. Since Yuchen fell ill, Yan Wushuang would go to Zhanghua Palace every day.

Yuchen struggled to remember, but her whole body was soft and had no strength at all: "Your Majesty, please forgive the concubine for not being able to give you peace." ”

Yan Wushuang stood beside the bed and said, "These are just nothing, do you feel better now?"

Yuchen nodded lightly and said, "It's much better." "She has a heart disease, and no matter how much medicine she takes, it won't work.

Yan Wushuang thought for a while and said, "I have already handled Zhou Yan's funeral with the Ministry of Rites, so you don't have to worry." ”

Yuchen showed gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty." "The people of the Ministry of Rites are in charge of her carefulness and thoughtfulness. But Yan Wushuang disagreed, and she couldn't help it.

Gonggong Min walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Geng, the head of the household department, asks to see you." ”

Yan Wushuang looked at Yuchen and said, "Take care of your body as soon as possible, and don't let Ah Chi and Ah Bao worry about it." ”

Seeing Yan Wushuang away, Mama Gui turned back to the palace and said to Yuchen: "Niangniang, the emperor still has you in his heart." "Mrs. Xiang is sick, and the emperor has never visited. When his master is sick, he comes at least once a day. This is enough to see the status of his master in the emperor's mind.

Yuchen showed a bitter smile: "Mama, as soon as these two **** close their eyes, they will see Yan'er lying in a pool of blood, calling the queen mother in their mouths." ”

Mama Gui's face suddenly looked bad.

Yuchen said: "Mama, if I don't avenge Yan'er, I will have trouble in my life." This is not so much for Mama Gui as for herself.

Mama Gui still said the same thing: "Niangniang, but once you anger Han Yuxi, the eldest princess and the third prince will be in danger of their lives at that time." ”

Yuchen said, "Mama, I've already decided. After a pause, a cold light flashed in Yuchen's eyes: "I won't give her the opportunity to harm Ah Chi and Ah Bao." ”

Mama Gui was silent and said, "Niangniang, let's discuss this matter with the emperor! Otherwise, the emperor will be annoyed when the matter comes out." ”

Yuchen shook his head: "I can't tell him." If he knew that Yan'er's revenge would not be avenged. After speaking, Yuchen looked at the top of the bed and said lowly, "This is the only thing I can do for Yan'er." "She owes this son so much.

Four days later, Yuxi received Meng Nian's letter. After reading the letter, Ok-hee fell into silence. After a long time, Yu Xi raised his head and said to Yu Zhi: "Meng Nian said in the letter that we should take two million stones of grain to ransom the black widow. ”

Yu Zhi frowned and said, "Princess, will this be a fraud?" When did Yan Wushuang speak so well.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "If we don't ransom people with food, once Feng Ying knows that he has taken refuge in Yan Wushuang, it will be a heavy loss for us." ”

Yu Zhi said worriedly: "When the time comes, we will hand over the food, but Yan Wushuang refuses to let go, then won't we be empty of bamboo baskets." ”

Yuxi said: "One hand to hand over the grain, the other hand to the people." "No matter how cunning Yan Wushuang is, Yuxi believes that he will not be able to lose his credibility in this matter.

Yu Zhidao: "Isn't two million stone grain too big?" Two million stone grain, this is not a small amount.

Yuxi said lightly: "Feng Ying knows a lot of things, I can't take this risk." "Black Widow knows Tie Kui's identity, and if she confesses, Tie Kui will be in danger of her life. Don't say that Tie Kui is her own uncle, let's just say that Tie Kui's identity, and in the future, when attacking the capital, Tie Kui will be the internal response, which is enough to be seen by thousands of troops, so she can't let Tie Kui have the slightest mistake. Of course. This condition is also within Yuxi's tolerance. If it was more, she wouldn't have agreed.

Yan Wushuang also saw this, so he proposed two million stone of grain instead of three hundred or four million stone.

Yu Zhi was still not very relieved, and said, "Princess, what if Fengying has already rebelled?" Then they really lost their wife and their soldiers.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "No." Seeing Yu Zhi's worried face, Yuxi said: "Feng Ying has been by my side for a while before, and it is an extremely resolute woman, and she will not give in to torture to extract a confession. "If you want to rebel, you will have rebelled a long time ago, and you will not wait until now.

Yu Zhi didn't say anything more.

Xu Wu said outside: "Princess, the prince has a letter delivered. ”

Yunqing's letter is to report safety. At first, Yuxi asked for it, and later developed this habit.

After reading the letter, Yuxi talked to Xu Wu about the ransom: "After the black widow is redeemed, I want to put her in Zhuangzi." "With Yan Wushuang's methods, the Black Widow will definitely not be able to come back with all her beards and tails. But the identity of the black widow is too special to stay in the palace, and it is most appropriate to send it to Guo Xun.

Xu Wu was a little puzzled: "Why did Yan Wushuang mention this exchange of grain? Princess, could this be a trap set by Yan Wushuang?" Two million stone grains is a lot, but the problem is that the value of the black widow is more than that.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "No." Shandong has been hit by drought this year, and a large area of artichoke planted in eastern Liaodong has been infested. ”

Xu Wu suddenly realized that Yan Wushuang was short of food: "The price is all over the sky, and I sit on the ground to pay back." No, he offered two million stone of grain, and we would give so much. After Xu Wu handed over the intelligence work to Yu Zhi, his information was not as well-informed as before.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "Since Yan Wushuang has proposed two million stone grains, it can only be this amount, and there is no room for bargaining. "It's also a coincidence, otherwise even if they are given double the food, it is impossible to let them go.

Xu Wu was a little distressed, so much food was enough for the army in front to eat for more than two months, but now it was cheap Yan Wushuang for nothing. But he also knew the importance of Black Widow, and knew that this matter had not changed. It can only be said that Yan Wushuang is too cunning.

Yuxi deliberately told Xu Wu that this matter had its intentions: "We will send someone to verify the correct body when the time comes." "Don't give so much food in exchange for a fake. Although this situation is unlikely, it is still necessary to be on guard.

Xu Wu nodded and said something else: "Princess, I'm going to send someone to Jiangnan to pick up Xin'er and return to Ho City." "Xin'er is the son born to Aunt An, and this name was given by Huo Changqing.

Yuxi said: "The child is only three months now, and this Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from Ho City, and the child may not be able to stand the bumps along the way." ”

Xu Wu said: "We have also thought about this. It's hot now, and it's certainly not suitable for children to travel. I'm thinking I'll be back in September, it's about the same. "By September, the child will be more than half a year old, and the child will not be in bad health, so it should be fine.

It was also for the sake of Yunqing's face that Yuxi would say these words, not that she cared about the child: "Have you discussed this matter with Uncle Huo?" Seeing Xu Wu nodding, Yuxi hummed and said, "In this case, you can look at it!"

Xu Wu hesitated and said, "Princess, Guo Xun wants to send Dagui to the palace on an errand. ”

Yuxi thought for a while and said, "I remember that Dagui is one year younger than Zao Zao, and he is twelve years old this year. ”

Xu Wu hummed and said, "It's one year younger than the big county lord." "Shisu only gave birth to one child, and then never gave birth again.

Yuxi thought for a while and said: "Ah Hao is older, there should be a few more reliable people around him, let Dagui follow Ah Hao!"

Xu Wu made a big salute and said, "I thanked the princess for Guo Xun." "Guo Xun wants to send Guo Dagui to the palace, just to let him follow Brother Hao. Brother Hao is the son of the world, and the future will definitely not be bad after following him.

Yuxi smiled and said, "Next year, I will choose a companion for Brother Rui and the three brothers, and you will let Aze and the three brothers study together." This can be regarded as a grace to Xu Wu.

Xu Wu hurriedly said: "The princess is in charge of this matter." ”

Yuxi didn't rush to make Xu Wu make up his mind now, and said with a smile: "There is still more than half a year, which is enough for you husband and wife to consider." ”

Seeing that Xu Wu was busy and didn't dare, Yuxi smiled and waved his hand to let Xu Wu go down. Parents have the same mind, they both want to seek a future for their children. So she believed that Xu Wu would seriously consider what she said.

Although he helped to investigate Feng Ying because his own life was involved, Tie Kui still did not dare to act recklessly.

That night, the falcon appeared in the Iron Mansion in the middle of the night. Tie Kui said: "I haven't found out where Feng Ying is being held, but it is certain that he is not in the Heavenly Prison and the Prison Division. It should be kept in a secret place. ”

The Falcon is actually a bit of an eyebrow, but there is no need to say it now. Falcon handed a letter to Tie Kui and said, "General Tie, this is a letter from the princess to you. Without waiting for Tie Kui to read the letter, the falcon said, "General Tie, the princess said that she is ready to ransom the phoenix eagle with two million stone grain. "He came here this time to ask Tie Kui not to inquire about the whereabouts of Feng Ying again. Of course, he himself will not give up.

Tie Kui remembered some things he had heard before: "I heard that the artichokes planted in Liaodong this year have been infestation, and this year's harvest is not optimistic. Now it seems that this news should be true. "Today, half of the land in eastern Liaodong is used to grow artichokes, but it turns out to be infested with insects, and the losses are incalculable.

Falcon nodded and said, "It's true." It's just that he didn't expect that this would be an opportunity to save the phoenix eagle.

Tie Kui squeezed the letter back into his hand, frowned and said, "Can you not change it?" These two million stone grains can help Yan Wushuang solve a lot of things. After all, the people take food as the sky, and if there is no food, I am afraid that Liaodong will be unstable. And this is a good thing for Yunqing and Yuxi.

Falcon said: "Phoenix Eagle has been working for the prince since he was eighteen years old, and he knows too many things. After a pause, the falcon looked at Tie Kui and said, "Besides, Phoenix Eagle still knows your identity, so we must redeem people for this." ”

Tiekui looked at the falcon and said, "You guys were too careless. "If Falcon and the others were more cautious, they wouldn't have gotten Yuxi to exchange so much food.

Falcon said in a deep voice: "We will be more careful in the future, and please take care of yourself General Tie." ”

When the falcon was gone, Tie Kui opened the letter and read it. After reading the letter, Tie Kui said to himself, "I also hope to get together as soon as possible." "The reunion between him and Yuxi means that this kind of worrying days is over, and he can live a peaceful life.

After saying this, Tie Kui burned the letter, and then called Zhong Shantong into the house.

Zhong Shantong said in a low voice: "Master, why did he come this time?" Zhong Shantong was guarding the door outside just now, so that no one would break into the study.

Tie Kui didn't tell Zhong Shantong about Feng Ying, for fear of scaring him: "A few days ago, Yan Wushuang arrested a woman, and that woman was his most powerful subordinate. These days, I'm helping him find out the whereabouts of this woman. "I didn't say it before, but now that the matter is almost settled, there is no need to say it.

Zhong Shantong's face changed suddenly, and he said, "Kuizi, does this woman know your identity?" If you know Kuizi's identity, it will be dangerous.

Tie Kui shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the only one who knows my identity is the Falcon." "In fact, Tie Kui's heart has been hanging in the past few days. Even now, he is not completely relieved, but it is useless to worry that things have happened.

Zhong Shantong took a sip and said, "That's good." ”

At this time, Tie Kui's henchman raised his voice outside: "Master, Aunt Lu's maid came over and said that the eldest young master had a high fever, please come over and take a look." ”

Tie Kui narrowed his eyes and asked Zhong Shantong: "Can the Lu clan still be safe during this time?" Because the Lu clan was given by Yan Wushuang, he has been guarding the Lu clan all these years. Even if the Lu family gave birth to two sons, it didn't let him relax his vigilance.

Zhong Shantong said: "During this time, Aunt Lu didn't have any out-of-the-ordinary behavior. But today is the fifteenth, and Aunt Lu went to Lingshan Temple to offer incense. "Aunt Lu has a habit, that is, on the fifteenth day of the new year, she will go to Lingshan Temple to offer incense.

After speaking, Zhong Shantong said: "Master, the eldest young master's fever should be just a coincidence." No matter how Lu is, she is also the biological mother of the eldest young master, so she will not joke with the eldest young master's body. ”

Tie Kui said: "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case." "This woman has a child of her own, and this mind is naturally biased. It's not that Tie Kui doesn't know this truth, it's just that he is used to being cautious and doesn't dare to take this risk.

ps: I wish you all a happy new year, work smoothly in the new year, all wishes come true, O(∩_∩)O~
