It was the winter solstice, and the people did not have the leisure to pick plums and cook wine, and the celebrities did not have the elegance of poetry. Hua Han, the general of Zhenshan in Daxia, and Shen Hao, the former secretary of the military department, mutinied, led an army of 300,000 to crush the Chongnan border and slaughtered the people of the border states. At the same time, Kitano and Xihu were not willing to be lonely, and frequently disturbed the borders, trying to get their hands on the wealth and resources of the prefectures and counties in Chongnan.

However, when the situation in the court is unclear and the position of the prince is vacant, all parts of the country make the army self-respecting, and no one is willing to mobilize soldiers and horses to join the military disaster to be the vanguard, and Emperor Xuwen's body is declining day by day, but fortunately, the Confucian King Jin Sheng himself is the right-hand man of Emperor Xuwen, with him, the officials and people of the government and the opposition are unprecedentedly united, and no one has ever mentioned the bloodline of the Confucian king.

When the imperial court was unable to mobilize the troops of various states, Jin Yao, the sixth prince, went to the states and counties alone to weigh the interests and interests and persuade the surrounding festival envoys to help, and finally raised 150,000 soldiers and horses, reversing the danger with a disadvantage. Accumulated a high prestige in various states and counties.

The Confucian king joined forces with the Six Princes inside and outside, and finally forced the Huahan army back beyond the border after March.

Li Shuci sat under the west window, the sorrow in his eyes was deeper, thinking that Helian Tao was in the heavy underground palace, and his body was full of injuries hugging her into his arms, and the feeling of guilt was extremely strong, Mu Yun pushed Yibei hot tea to her: "Girl, if you are worried, your hair will be white!"

Qingge's nerves were not as thick as Mu Yun's, and she somewhat felt the unusualness between Li Shuci and Helian Tao: "Shizi Jiren has his own natural appearance, Xiang Jiu and Mushan will definitely find Shizi, girl, don't worry too much." "After the battle, there will be a plague rampant, Helian Tao was ordered to go to the border to quell the matter, but he disappeared on the way back to Shangjing!

"What I am worried about at this time is not only the safety of the son. Li Shuci sighed faintly, "Auntie, she ......"

Qingge also sighed secretly, and could only persuade: "It's just a misunderstanding between Mrs. and the third master, and there will always be a day when it will be resolved." As long as the heart is resolved, I believe that Mrs. will be able to recover soon. ”

Li Shuci shook his head, some things, once they happen, are irreparable, she died in the past, thinking that she would be able to save everything by returning to the starting point, but in fact, except that she herself is a variable, things other than seem to be developing according to the original trajectory. It's just that countless details have been added to this trajectory.

In her previous life, she was a fool, she only had Shen Yuan in her eyes, she didn't know her mother's thoughts, she didn't know her grandfather's thoughts, and she couldn't see through her father's thoughts. "Is there any news of Qin Miaoren?"

Mu Yun shook his head, "Could it be that Qin Miaoren has also penetrated the secret passage like Shen Yuan, and he can actually disappear out of thin air under our noses, why don't the girl just go and ask the third master directly, the third master may be able to tell the girl directly!" Shen Yuan and Li Shuqiao disappeared after entering the secret passage, and the Confucian King sent people to block the entire Shangjing as quickly as possible, but they still couldn't find it, and there is no news so far. A month ago, Wei Chengjun's body was found in Huzhou, except for one skull, the rest of the body had been cut off to bones, and all his internal organs were scattered to the ground.

"My father ......" Li Shuci didn't know how to face Li Weiqing, although Yao's miscarriage couldn't blame him entirely, but it was because he didn't explain and didn't pay attention to it. In the past, she also thought that Li Weiqing might have something to do with Qin Miaoren, but now she doesn't think so. Qin Miaoren must know something......

Li Weiqing was extremely trusted by Emperor Xuwen, but he helped the Confucian King hide from the world at a critical moment. Is this Emperor Xuwen's intention, or is it his own choice?

Li Shuci thought about everything back and forth these days, and said: "I always feel that before I was taken to the underground palace, Qin Miaoren seemed to have something important to say to me. If I had chosen to meet Qin Miaoren first...... "Isn't it true that many things in the middle will not happen?"

"The third master didn't want the girl to be involved in these things anymore, so how could he tell the girl this. Qingge shook his head and said, "But how could that Wei Chengjun die so miserably?" Didn't Li Shuqiao say that this person could refine the antidote for Shen Yuan?"

Wei Chengjun's face appeared in Li Shuci's mind, and he didn't speak, Mu Yun said: "Wei Chengjun is just a complete liar, the Death Pill on his body can't restrain Gu poison at all, but it has an extremely strong paralyzing effect, if it is used for a long time, it will not only lose its effectiveness, but also make people in a trance." How could a person like Shen Yuan make Wei Chengjun feel better after knowing the truth?"

Qingge shuddered, "This Li Shuqiao is really fateful, without Wei Chengjun, she can at least survive by Shen Yuan's side." ”

Mu Yun said disdainfully: "If you want to live like a dog, it's better to die than to be comfortable!"

Li Shuci said suddenly: "I have a hunch that it seems that we will meet again." She was silent for a moment and said, "Wei Chengjun was discovered in Huzhou, and a few lower counties from Huzhou are border states, could it be that Shen Yuan's destination is Great Xia...... So could it be that the prince met Shen Yuan on the way back?"

Mu Yun seemed to think of the land where she had grown up, "I really want to go back and see if that valley is still there, and whether the peach blossoms are still as beautiful as before." Now that the Shen family has all been executed except for Shen Yuan, I don't feel happy at all in my heart. ”

Qingge squeezed Mu Yun's hand, comforting her silently, several people were silent for a long time, Mu Yun said: "Thinking about it now, it seems that my mother has long known that there will be such a day, and every day is worried." My father's virtue is excellent, and he is very famous in Great Xia, and even people from far away in the country of Great Xia will travel long distances to see my father, and there are many incurable diseases that are just ordinary diseases for my father. I hope my father and mother can stay together in peace underground. ”

Qingge was puzzled: "Hua Han's collusion with the Shen family is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, what good is this for him?"

"The Yi family died unexpectedly, and it is impossible not to attract the attention of others. Perhaps it was at that time that he attracted the attention of Hua Han, the general of Daxia Zhenshan. Although the matter of the previous heirloom orb was finally resolved, it can still be seen that the capital of Great Xia is not peaceful. It is not surprising that Hua Han has different intentions, so after he knew the secret of the Shen family, he seized the opportunity to threaten each other and conclude an alliance. Both parties are mutually beneficial. ”

Qingge said: "It's just that if the Shen family succeeds, they may not be able to help Hua Han, and maybe they will bite them back immediately." ”

"Of course, Hua Han also has precautions in his heart, after the fall of the Shen family, he knows that the plan has failed, so naturally he will not waste his troops to bother dealing with Chongnan, otherwise the 300,000 army, with the current situation in Chongnan, how can it be over in three months!"

Qingge looked outside and said, "Girl, don't worry about this matter anymore, Madame will also fall asleep at noon, and you can also lie down while this time." I have the energy to take care of my wife when I go back. ”

Li Shuci nodded, and just sat on the couch and took off her shoes and socks, but Mama Zheng whispered outside: "Girl, someone came to the palace, saying that the Queen Mother wants to summon you and invite the girl into the palace." ”

Li Shuci had a meal in his hand, called Mama Zheng in, and asked, "The Queen Mother?"

"It was the personal attendant next to the Queen Mother, who said that the girl was the future Confucian princess, and the rules and etiquette could not be wrong, so she had to teach the girl personally. "Mama Zheng is Mama Lei's mother in charge after she left the house, she speaks and does things at a glance, but she is an excellent person.

"What does this mean?" The four girls in the room all followed her through life and death, and they were full of fear at this time, for fear that something would go wrong with Li Shuci.

"Has my father come back?"

Mama Zheng glanced at Li Shuci, and there was worry in her eyes, "The third master hasn't come back yet." ”

Li Shuci quickly changed his clothes, "Let's go and meet the waiter first." ”

The eunuch in charge of the queen mother is naturally different from ordinary chamberlains, Li Shuci didn't dare to slack off, and when he saw him hurriedly saluting, Gonggong Liu frowned between his eyebrows, so that Li Shuci could only see his nostrils: "Yongning County Lord, the Queen Mother wants to summon you, so hurry up and follow our family into the palace!"

Qingge hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's really hard for your father-in-law to run in person, so I want to buy wine for my father-in-law." ”

Gonggong Liu pinched his hand, and his face finally eased a lot: "This trip to the palace, to say the least, it will take ten days and a half months, the county lord of Yongning still takes this handy thing with him, our family is waiting here now, and the county lord of Yongning will go back quickly." ”

Where did Li Shuci dare to let her wait here, and hurriedly invited him to the flower hall for tea.

Li Shuci pondered and explained that Lan Xinxue took care of Yao's family, while pondering the meaning of Liu's father-in-law's words, it would take ten days and a half months to say the least, is this to put her under house arrest?

After simply packing up a few things, Li Shuci took Mu Yun and Qingge to see Gonggong Liu. Gonggong Liu glanced at the two girls and didn't say anything. When the group passed by the Lingering Garden, they saw Li Yu looking at the snow-covered ice lake alone. Since he was in the Sacred Heart Temple, Li Yu resigned and stayed at home most of the time. Li Shuci withdrew his gaze, followed Liu Gonggong's steps carefully, and walked out of the mansion after him.

She did it with the group in the palace car, went to Da'an Palace, and meditated all the way. Where can she work, the Queen Mother personally taught her the rules, what does the Queen Mother want?

The fifth prince, the sixth prince, and the Confucian king are all her grandsons, so who is she going to help? What kind of vine knot and what kind of melon, Gonggong Liu is the old man next to the Queen Mother, judging from his attitude towards himself, it seems that he is not the Confucian king. The Queen Mother rarely stretches her hand too long, but how can she be a simple person who can be the Queen Mother?

And Concubine Hui and the Queen Mother are not compatible......

It is true that the monarch loves the concubine Niangniang, and it is also true that he uses the concubine Niangniang. Does the king really care about the Confucian king?

Before Xiang Jiu and Mushan set off to find Helian Tao's whereabouts, she had met Hong Xiucai once, and he said: The fate of the entire Helian family is tied to the six princes, and the Confucian king is more than the king's city and means, if he inherits the throne, the Helian family will definitely be a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey......

After Concubine De passed away, the king transferred all his love and guilt to the Confucian prince. Among the courtiers now, the voice of opposition to the Confucian king is weakening.

Li Shuci really couldn't think of any reason to deny that the Confucian King was the preferred candidate of the king.

If it really comes to the day when the Confucian King and the Six Princes and Helian Tao are opposed, how should she choose?
