The crow, who had been unconscious for a long time, finally let out a dull hiss, and Xiao Bao'er couldn't wait to throw out a bunch of questions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info couldn't hear an answer for a long time, and she shook the crow anxiously.

Yao Xitong beside him hurriedly grabbed her, "Princess, don't worry, the crow is injured and can't stand you shaking like this!" After speaking, he carefully fed the crow a few sips of water, and then asked the first question - what happened in the palace?

The crow was badly injured and forced to tell what had happened after he returned to the palace.

According to him, after returning to the palace, he sneaked into the Empress Dowager's bedroom through the secret passage as usual. The tanuki and the dog, who had been guarding the secret passage, did not expect him to return to the palace so quickly, and the two were discussing how to kill him and the magpie.

Such terrifying information made him have to give up the secret passage, disguised as a eunuch, and slipped from the main gate of Shouning Palace to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

In the dormitory, the brass incense burner is slowly emitting incense. The Empress Dowager leaned on the soft couch as before, and Princess Huanting knelt in front of the couch as if she was talking to her about something. The peaceful and tranquil atmosphere did not let the crow let his guard down, and he smashed the glazed tiles on the side eaves of the dormitory, and the crisp sound lured Princess Ting out of the dormitory.

There were only crows left in front of the Empress Dowager, and he found that the Empress Dowager, who was in good health, was already weak. The woman, who had held the authority of Great Xia for decades, trembled slightly and took out the seal ribbon from the secret compartment somewhere on the soft couch, and stamped the big seal on the two blank silk books with his strength.

"Passing on the will of the mourning family, the three lives in the previous life were married, and the first and present life were husband and wife, and the mourning family quasi-Xiao Baoer and Xuan Ze tied the knot, and ordered Xuan Ze to return to the Song Dynasty to complete the marriage. There is one more copy, keep ...... Stay...... Saving your life......" In the middle of speaking, there was a sound of shallow footsteps outside the door, and there was probably a master who wanted to forcibly break in.

As a last resort, he stuffed the pill he used to save his life into the mouth of the Empress Dowager, hoping that this strong woman could give him the last guidance. At the moment when the dog attacked, the queen mother suddenly opened her eyes, picked up the seal ribbon beside her and threw it at the dog. The latter didn't know what was coming, so he raised his knife and swung it at the seal, and the seal ribbon carved from white jade collided violently with the blade and fell to the ground.

The Empress Dowager looked at the broken silk ribbon and laughed, "The dog barks Yao, which means that the slave is dedicated to the master, you are good, for the sake of a mother-killing cheap~ person actually betrayed his master." Did she ever tell you that the seal ribbon that landed was very important? The courtiers of Great Xia, the lords of the princes and states, only recognized the seal ribbon of the mourning family, and did not know that there was a son of heaven. Doesn't she want this world, mourn the family and see if she has the ability to sit firmly......"

The Empress Dowager, who still had the surviving power, simply shocked the murderous dog.

The crow knew that the Empress Dowager was at the end of her crossbow, and in order to live up to her master's trust, she hurriedly slipped out of Shouning Palace while the dog was stunned. Unexpectedly, Xiao Huiting had already taken precautions, and as soon as he left the palace, he met the long-awaited civet cat.

In the personal guard, he and the magpie are good at light skills, tracking and eavesdropping, and it is their job to pass on news. Tanuki and Dog are very good at kung fu, and if they fight alone, he is not the opponent of Tanuki. In order not to be discovered by the royal guards, he took advantage of the light merit to lure the tanuki out of the palace and fled while fighting, and he didn't know why he was unconscious in the uninhabited alleyway!

Xiao Bao'er took the silk book handed out by the crow, and said secretly: Why did the Empress Dowager let me marry Xuan Ze? She knew Xiao Huiting and Xuan Ze's plan and wanted to use me to stop them......

Yao Xitong took the imperial examination because he wanted to participate in politics for the official. But I didn't want to be chosen as a husband by the princess as soon as I was in Tanhua, and then I was involved in the palace struggle, and I heard with my own ears that the rivers and mountains of Daxia were about to change hands, and it was really unexpected that the days would be like this. Smart people don't like to be dragged away by emergencies, in order to grasp the initiative as soon as possible, without waiting for Xiao Baoer to make a decision, he grabbed the silk book, pointed to the blank silk book with only seals and asked: "Princess, think about why you chose me as your husband that day?"

His words were like a basin of cold water pouring down on Xiao Bao'er's head, and the heart-wrenching memory in the dream came to her heart again.

"Do you really know how to tell fortunes?"

"Naturally. ”

"Then have you ever counted what happened today? Didn't you put me to death if I was asked to go back to the palace to cultivate my self-cultivation before?"

Yao Xitong never believed in fate, and always scoffed at the kind of "fortune tellers" who knew 800 years before and 500 years later. In order to take advantage of Xiao Bao'er, he had to pretend to be a fortune-teller, how could he expect the world to change, accidents one after another, in the face of the aggressive Xiao Bao'er, how to explain if he is as smart as he is?

"Princess, Xitong is not a god, I really don't know that such a big event will happen in the palace. What I said before is all in your princess's life, but time has changed, your life is precious, and the queen mother's is even more precious. Let you go back to the palace to cultivate your self-cultivation, which is based on the premise that the Queen Mother's life will not change. Now ......"

Xiao Bao'er hurriedly asked, "What should I do now?"

Asked Xiao Bao'er to return to the palace before, that was when the Empress Dowager was still alive, and he didn't mind sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. Now it is different, returning to the palace means that Xuan Ze has a great chance of marrying Xiao Baoer and successfully borrowing the Northern Liao forces.

"Now when I return to the palace, the princess's fate will collide with another nobleman, which is a great omen. ”

Another nobleman? Xiao Bao'er immediately thought of Xiao Huiting, the Empress Dowager had an accident, wasn't she the most powerful person in the palace?

Yao Xitong dared to claim that he could tell fortunes, which was very confident in his ability to read words and feelings. Seeing Xiao Bao'er's hesitation, in order to prevent him from returning to the palace, he threatened: "Princess, Xitong's so-called murder can refer to the worry of life, once you insist on returning to the palace, you will definitely die." If you lose your life, how can you tie the knot with the person you love?"

In the dream, Xiao Baoer is the queen of the Song Kingdom, Xuan Ze is the original match, and Xiao Huiting naturally has no way to take her. Now it's different, she has given up her identity as the princess of Great Xia and chose her husband Yao Xitong. If she was in Northern Liao, Xiao Huiting didn't dare to do anything to her, and if she stayed in Great Xia, she would indeed have the possibility of dying.

"So what to do?"

Xiao Bao'er's psychological defense finally opened an opening for Yao Xitong, he took out the posture of a fortune teller, and pointed at the crow casually, "Ask him!"

Yao Xitong and the crow have never known each other, so why do they dare to point the problem on the crow with such a finger? Speaking of this, we have to start with fortune telling.

Fortune telling has a long history, and it is rare for high-ranking people to be seen, and street stall masters are common. Don't underestimate these masters, almost every one of them has a lineage, and this inheritance generally refers to a set of tips passed down by the fortune teller's family. This tip is not a lot of words, but it analyzes the interests between people, and the intentions of all walks of life and people from all walks of life to tell fortunes.

Talent is counted as a future, businessmen are counted as interests, and farmers are counted as weather...... And that's just the beginning. To put it in detail, you have to observe people's inner world through their speech and behavior, clothing and expression, and use words to subtly make the other party confide that he is a family background.

"The father dies before the mother," a very simple sentence, but it has been the experience of countless fortune tellers for hundreds and thousands of years. Yao Xitong is well-read and knows a lot about the routines and tips of fortune tellers. Because of this, no matter what the crow says, he has the ability to relate the crow's words to the situation.

The so-called fortune-telling is nothing more than calculating people's hearts.

The crow asked blankly, "What do you want me to do?"

"You said that the Empress Dowager will die soon. Let me ask you, in the spring, the vassal states must enter the court to pay tribute, if they can't see the empress dowager, can Daxia be able to live for a long time?"

The raven did not answer.

The magpie couldn't help but say, "Lao Wu, we don't have to hide it now, returning to the palace is death, it is better to follow the princess and save your life!"

The crow was still silent.

The magpie said, "The Empress Dowager has a stand-in, and this person is kept in Shouning Palace, and this secret is only known to the four of us personal guards." Xiao Huiting was able to make the dog and the tanuki betray the Empress Dowager, obviously knowing this secret, I believe that she must have a way to hide it from the princes and lords who came to the Spring Festival. ”

The crow, who had been silent, finally spoke, he looked at the blank silk book in Yao Xitong's hand and asked, "Tanhualang, do you want the princess to resist the decree?"

Yao Xitong said: "Ten days ago, the Empress Dowager agreed to the marriage of Princess Bao'er and Zai Xia in front of the nobles and courtiers. If you change your words at this time and declare that the Empress Dowager wants to marry Princess Bao'er to Qingshanjun, what will you do if you let the Son of Heaven and Princess Huanting?

The palace change was too sudden, and the crows and magpies were caught off guard. If it were without the support of the Empress Dowager, how could there be a place for them to stand in this deep palace? Yao Xitong did not say it explicitly, and it was not difficult to hear the hint in his words that the Empress Dowager was dead, and the edict obtained by the crow sacrificed his life not only failed to save his life, but became a life-urging talisman. In order not to leak the news of the death of the Empress Dowager, Xiao Huiting must have set up a net in the capital to wait for the two of them to be arrested......

The magpie was obviously more breathless than the crow, and hurriedly asked, "Princess, what shall we do?"

Xiao Bao'er stretched out her fist and gestured at Yao Xitong, who hurriedly said his views and countermeasures on the whole thing.

First of all, Yi Zhi wants to use it, and it is used in an upright manner, so it is said that the Empress Dowager issued an edict to let Yao Xitong go to a certain place as an official, and Xiao Baoer accompanied her. Princess Huanting and the Son of Heaven will definitely not stop it, they don't have the Empress Dowager's ribbon, and they can't create a second decree.

Secondly, the Son of Heaven has already seen a magpie outside the grass shed, and it is best for him to hand it over to the Son of Heaven, and it can also be said that the Empress Dowager has a message ordering him to secretly protect Xiao Bao'er and his party!

In the end, the rescue of the crow must be concealed, and no one can know that the crow is still alive, let alone Princess Huanting and the Son of Heaven know that they have learned about the palace change. Only after they leave the capital will they secretly make peace with the ravens.

It was agreed that the magpie was sent to find pen and ink, and the crow continued to recuperate in the hut.

Xiao Bao'er was dragged to a secluded place by Yao Xitong, "What about me?

"If the princess can come up with another way, Xitong will not hesitate to go to the soup. ”

If the Empress Dowager is alive, things may be uncertain. As soon as the Empress Dowager died, marrying Yao Xitong became the best way to protect herself in this chaotic political situation.
