Phoenix Wings 21

Two days passed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The afternoon sun was just right, and there was a faint smell of after-rain earth in the air.

The wall of one side of the courtyard is crawling with thorny roses, the dark green leaves are covered in layers, and large clusters of pink roses are blooming, Mu Ruolan, who is dressed in white, slowly walks to the wall, reaches out to touch the most beautiful and blooming rose in the flower bush, and touches the petals with her fingertips.

A plump and round bead of blood appeared from the green fingertips, Mu Ruolan raised her hand to meet the light, and a red halo appeared on the white fingertips, and she chuckled.

This side courtyard has been abandoned for a long time, and no one takes care of it on weekdays, and when Mu Ruolan moved in, someone hurriedly tidied it up, and the grass under the wall was up to people's knees, and they had not had time to clean it up.

Looking at the weeds under her feet, Mu Ruolan paced at will without thinking, the fragrance of flowers in the wind was overflowing, the bees flew and butterflies danced, there were occasional birds fluttering and flying on the plane tree outside the wall, a few birdsong echoed in the air, a white bird circled back and forth over the yard, Mu Ruolan picked a rose, pulled off the petals and threw it with her hand, the sky was full of pink and white, and fell all over the ground.

Mu Ruolan, who was strolling in the grass, suddenly groaned, squatted down and covered her ankles, quickly picked up something from the grass, then stood up and limped back to the house.

The white bird was a messenger specially trained for her by Darkwing, and the gesture of her waving hand was to order it to drop the ash ball in its claws, and the guards squatting in the dark only entertained themselves as if she was a girl with her petals, and then accidentally twisted her foot for a walk, not noticing that something was wrong.

Inside the room, Mu Ruolan closed the door and sat down at the table to unfold the note sealed with white wax.

Reading it word for word, as she did last time, she tore up the note and buried it under the soil of the potted plant in the corner.

Then, lie in bed and meditate with your eyes closed.

There was an abnormal movement in the southern army, and a large number of men and horses were assembled, and it seemed that there was a tendency to wave the army back to Beijing. This is beyond Mu Ruolan's expectations, these years the southern army has been in a safe corner, guarding the southern frontier for Tianshuo, and the ambitious Southern Liao State is afraid that the southern army is brave and good at fighting, but it is also peaceful, the imperial court suddenly sent someone to borrow troops to ask for help, if it is ignored, it is also common sense, but why......

There must be a reason for this, but it's not a bad thing, and it saves her a lot of trouble.

Palace.

Li You has not woken up after being in a coma, and the people in the Tai Hospital turned over on their backs, and could only judge that they were poisoned, but no one could solve it, and the Queen Mother was so sad that she fell ill in bed, and everyone was helpless, and Pingyang Hou took the lead and found a few famous doctors from the people to enter the palace.

The rebels are in turmoil, the national disaster is at the head, and the king of a country suddenly falls, which undoubtedly adds fuel to the fire and will inevitably boost the morale of the rebels. The Queen Mother issued an edict to completely block the news, but the rumor still leaked out, and it spread throughout the Holy Capital in less than half a day.

The harem concubines took turns to serve in front of Li You's bed, and Yan Guifei, who was pregnant with a dragon seed, became the darling of the Queen Mother and Pingyang Hou, holding and protecting her, for fear of bumping into the fetus in her belly. Everyone said that if Li You didn't wake up, the child in Yan Guifei's womb would be the only bloodline, and I hope it would be a prince, even if it wasn't, according to the queen mother's means, he would definitely be able to make a prince.

Two days after the government was abandoned, Du Xin, a cabinet scholar, entered the palace to visit Li You's illness and discussed the current political affairs with the queen mother under the respect of hundreds of officials, those old ministers have become fine, and they can judge the general trend of the future immediately when there is a wind and grass......

The atmosphere in the palace is very depressing, since that night Li You was poisoned, Pingyang Hou ordered to check all the palace people, beheaded dozens of suspicious people, made the palace people panic, the palace maids and eunuchs came and went hurriedly with their heads down, for fear that a bad person would fall to the ground.

After Du Xin entered the palace, he first went to Fengyi Palace to visit the Queen Mother, and stated and analyzed the situation in the Holy Capital City to the Queen Mother in recent days. The Queen Mother's complexion was not good, her haggard face was much older, but her spirit was acceptable, and she lowered her eyes slightly to listen to Du Xin's analysis and judgment of the situation.

"Lord Du." The queen mother's voice was hoarse, obviously crying, "Now the holy capital is in danger, the emperor is unconscious again, and the commander of Zhou is missing, but the rebels are ready to move, eyeing the tiger, and the mourning family is worried that one day the rebels will attack the palace in a desperate way, and the royal forest army and the Praetorian Guard army will not be able to resist without a leader, and the mourning family will make decisions on behalf of the emperor, restore the power of the Pingyang Hou Imperial Forest Army, and Lord Du is still the supervising army, jointly resist the rebels and protect the palace." ”

Du Xin picked up the teacup and kowtowed to the rim of the cup, took a sip to moisten his lips, and said unhurriedly, "Didn't the Queen Mother forget that the Marquis of Pingyang is the father-in-law of King Rui?" ”

The past between Duanmuxiong and the Queen Mother, knowing that everyone has gone to Huangquan, the Queen Mother fully trusts Duanmuxiong, but in Du Xin's opinion, the Queen Mother is in a panic, and she can't even tell whether she is an enemy or a friend.

Hearing Du Xin mention this, the Queen Mother remembered that Duanmuxiong still had an embarrassing identity, she raised her eyebrows and thought about it, and said, "What's so difficult about this, Duanmuqing, the concubine of Pingyang, has already left the Rui Wangfu, and the relationship between husband and wife is nothing, and the mourning family will order them to separate." ”

Du Xin gently put down the teacup, and his slender white fingers pointed at the yellow rosewood tabletop, "Since the Queen Mother has decided, then let's do it!" ”

……

Zhou Yu, who had been missing for several days under the watchful eye of many people, appeared in a small town on the border of northern Xinjiang.

The group changed their disguises and pretended to be a caravan and swaggered into the inn, and it didn't take long for soldiers from the Northern Army to find them, and the two sides met in the inn room.

In the guest room, Zhou Yu took off the robe that was ripped off from a man with fox smell, tore off two obscene mustaches, soaked in the bath tub prepared by the store, washed off the dust, and after he soaked for half an hour, he came out and changed into a azure plain robe, instantly reverting to the image of the previous handsome son, but his face was much darker after many days of running, adding a bit of toughness to the general.

"The eldest prince, my subordinates came to the ward on the order of the general, and there was a gap in the camp of the Northern Army, and the son must not appear in the barracks before finding out this person."

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Gap? Do you know who sent it? ”

"It hasn't been ascertained yet, but my subordinates guess that most of them are from the Holy Capital City."

Zhou Yu didn't make a sound, and the soldier said again, "There is another thing, I received news the day before yesterday that Xian Gongzi was on his way to the northern frontier, and it seemed that something had happened to the general's mansion." ”

"What's going on at the General's Mansion?" Hearing the news that Zhou Xian rushed to Northern Xinjiang, Zhou Yu's thunderous face finally changed, that nerd, let him stay in the house and not run around, he was regarded as a deaf ear, what can a weak scholar do when he runs to Northern Xinjiang?

"The specific situation, the subordinates don't know."
