The days in the palace passed peacefully. Although Meng Chang, the lord of Houshu, does not have a monopoly on Xu Rui, everyone knows that she is the most valued. After everyone figured out the attitude of the emperor and the queen mother, no one dared to deliberately look for Xu Rui's stubble so unsightly, anyway, they would suffer a loss.

Meng Chang was fond of Xu Rui, not only built her Ruixiang Palace, because she liked hibiscus, but he also ordered the middle school of the country to plant hibiscus along the city. In autumn, the hibiscus is in full bloom, forty miles along the city, it is stacked with brocade and stacked with xia, and at a glance, it is like a red cloud. This has become a scene in Shudu, and Shudu began to have the title of "Furong City".

Every autumn, the women of Allure come out to play, jewels, Qiluo into a formation, flute drums and boats, and go in teams. All of them are dressed in brocade and jade, beaded shoes and embroidered socks, and the traffic is busy, and the dust is fragrant. The people of Shudu are witnessing Meng Chang's love for Xu Rui.

However, happy days always fly by. With the rise of the Northern Song Dynasty, the unification of the world was inevitable. The Northern Han Dynasty and Houshu, which were small countries in a remote corner, began to be in danger.

The first target of the Northern Song Dynasty was the Northern Han Dynasty. However, Meng Chang deeply felt the sense of crisis of his lips and teeth, so he wrote a secret letter, sealed it with wax pills, and sent someone to Liu Jien, the monarch of the Northern Han Dynasty at that time, to form an alliance with the Northern Han Dynasty, watch and help each other, form a corner, and jointly resist the arrival of the Northern Song Dynasty army.

Meng Chang's behavior was originally a precautionary move, but unfortunately the envoy he sent to the Northern Han Dynasty was caught by the Northern Song Dynasty as soon as he left the border. The secret letter was searched out and presented to the desk of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin was furious, so he issued an edict to attack Shu.

Meng Chang hurriedly sent people to meet the battle. He first sent two generals to lead heavy troops to meet the enemy at Jianmen. The terrain of Jianmen is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Meng Chang felt that as long as he could hold Jianmen, the Northern Song Dynasty army would not be able to enter Shu, and Shu could sit back and relax. Therefore, half of the army of Houshu - 400,000 horses - was sent to Jianmen. But unexpectedly, the Sword Gate was breached in three days. Moreover, the Shu army was defeated in a mess, and almost all of the people who died without fighting were captured. The Houshu side couldn't even gather the rout.

Next up is Kuizhou. As soon as Kuizhou is broken, Houshu will no longer have any natural danger to defend. Meng Chang sent his most capable general, Gao Yanyu. However, after all, the arm couldn't twist the thigh, General Gao Yanyu died and was martyred, and the Northern Song Dynasty Shun lì broke through Kuizhou and advanced into Shudu.

Meng Chang still had a little force in his hand at that time, and according to the wealthy Cheng dù of Shudu, it was still possible to hold on for half a year. Some veterans pointed out that the Song army must be exhausted when it comes from afar, and the logistics supply front is too long, so there must be a problem. If you hold on, you can fight a protracted war, and you may be able to win a glimmer of hope.

But Meng Chang gave up after careful consideration. In that case, the city of Furong that he had carefully built would inevitably be destroyed in the flames of war, and the people in the city would suffer great casualties. The unification of the whole world by the Northern Song Dynasty was inevitable, and even if Hou Shu survived, how long could it last? Prime Minister Li Hao also advocated surrender on the grounds that the generals did not want to fight and hoped to surrender. So Meng Chang finally descended to the Northern Song Dynasty and embraced the stability and prosperity of Furong City.

Meng Chang, Concubine Li, and Xu Rui were personally escorted back to Bianjing by Zhao Guangyi.

In the battle of Shu, there was nothing to do with Zhao Guangyi. However, Zhao Guangyi was thick-skinned, and when the war was about to end, he went to collect military merits, and then naturally accepted Meng Chang's surrender and personally escorted them into Beijing.

Zhao Kuangyin claimed to be benevolent in governing the world, and ordered that Meng Chang and others should be treated preferentially, and they should not be wronged on the way. Although Zhao Guangyi did not make it difficult for them explicitly, his unpredictable gaze, as well as the full face when he looked at Xu Rui, made Meng Chang, Concubine Li and Xu Rui feel like a man, and they didn't rest well at all along the way.

Zhao Guangyi asked people to express and imply that Xu Rui could take refuge in himself, and even designed her to be alone several times, intending to overlord to make a bow, but Xu Rui cleverly avoided it. Once Xu Rui really couldn't dodge, and pulled up the golden hairpin on his head and scratched Zhao Guangyi's right arm. Since then, Zhao Guangyi has restrained her mind a lot.

But at the same time, his eyes looking at Meng Chang were even more wrong, as if he was looking at a dead person, and even onlookers felt creepy when they saw it.

Meng Chang and the other three swallowed their anger and finally arrived in Bianjing.

Zhao Kuangyin held a reception wine for Meng Chang. said that it was to catch the wind, but it was just to maintain a kind of superficial decency, and Zhao Kuangyin was more for other small countries in the border areas of the Northern Han Dynasty. Look, Meng Chang, the lord of Houshu, has been treated well by us, and we will treat you well.

When the wine was hot, everyone slowly had some gaffes. The Northern Song Dynasty was the victorious side, and the generals who participated in the Battle of Houshu began to show their arrogance and arrogance through the strength of wine. Some people, provoked by people with ulterior motives, speak more and more arbitrarily.

Xu Rui, as the lowest-ranking person among the three people who came from Hou Shu, inevitably became a breakthrough in their attack. All kinds of embarrassing and blushing meat words began to bubble up continuously.

Zhao Kuangyin squinted his narrow eyes, pretending not to hear, and quietly observed the reaction of the person in front of him. Zhao Guangyi was facing Xu Rui sideways, drinking slowly with his head held high, glancing at this side from time to time, but he didn't speak, looking like "You come and beg me, I will help you if you beg me".

Xu Rui's face was red, and she could only endure it. Finally, when someone asked her to compose a poem about the death of the country, she used her talent to fight back.

"The flag was erected on the king's city, and the concubine learned in the deep palace that 140,000 people were disarmed, and none of them were men. ”

As soon as this poem came out, all four were shocked, and for a time the needle drop in the hall could be heard. Zhao Kuangyin also looked at Xu Rui carefully.

Xu Rui, alias Mrs. Hua Rui, was only famous at that time, and Zhao Kuangyin also heard of it. But he has seen a lot of all kinds of beauties, and he didn't have the heart to send Jingniang thousands of miles back then, and now that there is a whole harem group, it must be more difficult to be tempted by women. But the courage embodied in this poem is even admired by him, a dignified seven-foot man.

Zhao Kuangyin's gaze fell on Zhao Guangyi's eyes, which gave him a sense of crisis in his heart. The woman he finally fell in love with was unwilling to let others get involved, even if that person was his own big brother.

Zhao Guangyi made a quick decision and decided to take advantage of the fact that his eldest brother's thoughts about Xu Rui were not yet clear, and he would strike first. So in just seven days, Meng Chang died, in the Qin State Mansion where he had just lived.

Xu Rui didn't know these things at the time. It was Zhao Guangyi who told her personally after poisoning Meng Chang, wanting to force her to follow him.

But he underestimated Xu Rui's integrity. How could she accept a person who killed her husband? But if she didn't accept Zhao Guangyi, then she had to find someone who was more capable than Zhao Guangyi. So she defected to Zhao Kuangyin without hesitation.

Xu Rui is committed to Zhao Kuangyin, and another important reason is to avenge Meng Chang. Meng Chang has a deep affection for her, and the people of Furong City see it in their eyes. She could not have been indifferent to his death. In this world, the only person who can kill Zhao Guangyi is Zhao Kuangyin.

Xu Rui's influence on Zhao Kuangyin is quiet and imperceptible, and it will take a long time to achieve the goal. But Zhao Guangyi was jealous and hateful, and couldn't wait to strike first. He took advantage of the opportunity of the hunt to create an accident and shot Xu Rui with a bow and arrow, ending her life with his own hands.

When Xu Rui fell, he finally seized the opportunity and hugged her fallen body.

"Look, that's what happens if you don't follow me. If you don't follow me, I won't let you go with anyone, especially my eldest brother. Anything my eldest brother likes, I'll grab it. If I can't grab it, I'll destroy it. Zhao Guangyi attached to Xu Rui's ear and said in a hoarse voice.

"I'll count ...... Is it dead...... I don't want to...... With you. Xu Rui's breath became weaker and weaker, but she still spit out this sentence clearly.

This is the last picture of Xu Rui's previous life.

The Fairy just wants to live her life in peace and happiness, and she doesn't want to get involved in anyone's struggle anymore, and she doesn't want anyone to die for herself. She just wants ordinary happiness. However, since ancient times, she has had a thin life, not to mention that she is such a talented woman! In this rapidly changing and troubled world, it is almost impossible to find a stable place.

The time when Han Ruo came was not far from the battle of the Northern Song Dynasty and Shu. If the original owner is not married, he can still live in seclusion. However, it is no longer possible, unless you cheat to death with the help of those closest to you.

However, if you cheat to death and leave the palace for no reason, other people will be angry to death, right? If it is impossible for Han to ignore anyone's thoughts and only want his own peace, it will definitely not be in line with the wishes of the original owner.

What's more, if Han Ruo touches his belly, there is a little guy here!

The memories of the original owner's past life do not contain any information about the child. However, Hanruo knew that she was indeed pregnant now. Because she is an expert in medicine herself.

It's just this fetus...... Han Ruo felt a faint twitching sensation on the belly of this body, and felt that this fetus was likely to be unstable.

Just got pregnant like this, I'm afraid this child will not be able to keep it! Han Ruo thought about it, but still wrote a prescription, and asked Hongying to go to the imperial pharmacy to grab a course of medicine for herself, and cook it for herself every day. It was said that it was from a medical book and that it had been read by a certain doctor.

If the fetus is unstable in the early stage, it may be like a biochemical pregnancy in modern society, and it may not be able to sit successfully at the beginning. The exterior table xiàn may also just be a late arrival of Kwai water. From this point of view, it is also possible that the original owner, who has never given birth to a child, did not realize that he was pregnant.

If Han decides to do his best to protect the child for the original owner first, whether he can succeed or not is left to fate.

She stroked her belly, looked at the rich peony pattern on the crimson tent, and silently thought about what to do next.
