"Such a treasure, I don't know where Mr. Qiu got it?"

"The southern suburbs of Weizhou City, Yingyue Villa."

When the words "Yingyue Villa" entered his ears, Chu Xue's mind went blank for a moment.

After the void passed, all sorts of vigilance, speculation, and suspicion followed.

This person, how could he have this jade pendant, how could he know about Yingyue Villa?

The plain hands under the wide sleeves clenched their fists tightly, Chu Xue was full of fear, could it be that he was also a member of the Xu family?

But no, if he was a member of the Xu family, why did he come to save himself in the fire that day? Xu Shi is so looking forward to his own death, will the carefully laid out game destroy his own people?

So who would he be?

Who else will know about the Yingyue Villa in Weizhou and know about this jade pendant?

Could it be that he was a member of his family?

But once upon a time, everyone in the family was obviously dead, huh?

At this moment, Chu Xue's mind had never turned so quickly, and she tried hard to recall the scenes after she met Qiu Yan, trying to find some clues...... Suddenly, the memories stopped at the palace banquet they met for the first time, and what Qiu Yan said to her.

"Niangniang is naturally beautiful, and she can be recognized at a glance in the crowd."

After a stagnation of breathing, time rewinds back to the last night in Weizhou when I was a child, and that very similar sentence.

"Our Wenwen is naturally beautiful, and we can recognize it at a glance in the crowd."

No, in addition to her and Nan Feng, there is another person, and that is Uncle Xiaocheng.

He, is he really ......

Uncle Xiaocheng?

Yan Ling seemed to have this guess, and the master and servant frowned tightly, looking at the person in front of them incredulously.

Qiu Yan understood the expressions of the two of them, knelt in front of her again, kowtowed heavily, and said, "Miss, I really didn't expect that we would be able to meet again." ”

Chu Xue opened her mouth wide, tears condensed in her eyes, and she trembled: "You are ...... You really are ......."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Qiu Yan suddenly open the sleeve of his right arm, and a tiger head mark was faintly revealed on his right shoulder.

That is the unique mark of the Yue family army, and all the soldiers who follow his father have the mark on his body.

Qiu Yan, Qiu Yan. Chu Xue stared at the person in front of her, silently reciting his name in her heart, and suddenly had an epiphany, take half of the word "Yue Cheng", isn't it the origin of the name "Qiu Yan"!

He really is, really Uncle Xiaocheng, no wonder she always feels that his eyes are familiar, no wonder he rushes into the flames to save himself......

Tears rolled down in an instant, she got up and helped Qiu Yan forward, and choked up: "Uncle Xiaocheng? Is it really you? How could you, how did you become like this? How did you get here? ”

Qiu Yan's eyes were also red, but he tried his best to keep it steady and said, "Wenwen finally recognized me?" After smiling sadly, he said again: "Don't care why I came to this place, didn't you also come?" ”

Wen Yan looked up at Yanling, who was already in tears.

Yes, when that disaster happened, everyone who survived had changed their fate, she changed from a willful girl to a palace concubine, and Yue Cheng also changed from a young soldier in his prime to the current deputy chief of ceremonial supervisors and eunuchs.

Isn't that a little too cruel!

Tears fell one after another, Chu Xue trembled and asked Qiu Yan, "Uncle, you have kung fu, why, why do you choose this path?" ”

Qiu Yan smiled and sighed, "What else? People live for a lifetime, and the general is like a reborn parent to me, if they have an accident, I can still live in this world with peace of mind, but I am still worthy of being a human being? And worthy of this martial arts given to me by the general, a life? ”

Qiu Yan shook his head and said, "I tried my best to change my appearance and sneak into the palace, just for one thing, revenge!" ”

"Revenge?" The remaining two asked at the same time.

"Yes." Qiu Yan nodded and explained his original intention of entering the palace, "Of course Xu Jilin is hateful, but the first emperor is also to blame, if he hadn't listened to the slander and secretly instructed the Xu family to raid Yingyue Villa, how could our Yue family be caught off guard and wiped out?" The first emperor's concern was nothing more than our soldiers and villagers in Weizhou, he secretly killed people first and then convicted, nothing more than he didn't want to give the general a chance to defend himself and block the world's mouths. Therefore, when I entered the palace and mixed in with the celebrant eunuch, I just wanted to find an opportunity to kill the pair of faint kings and traitorous ministers, but ......"

As soon as his voice stopped, Chu Xue asked with tears in her eyes, "But what?" ”

"However, as I get older, I think clearly, if I try my best to get rid of the faint king, of course I can be happy for a while, but the general's grievances are still there, how can the general's spirit in the sky be at ease, besides, it's just a death, it's too cheap Xu's ......"

Hearing this, Chu Xue frowned and agreed: "Yes, it's just that it's too cheap for them to die." What my Yue's family received back then, he Xu should also taste it all. ”

Qiu Yan nodded, "Wenwen is right, so when I met you at that time, I knew that you went to King Heng's side and were so favored, so I saw hope again......" As soon as the words changed, he asked, "Wenwen does you know that when you returned to Beijing from Yanzhou in the past, why was the Queen Mother suddenly poisoned and unconscious?" ”

At this time, Chu Xue was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she asked incredulously: "Could it be that the poison was given by my uncle?" ”

Qiu Yan was silent.

Chu Xue was shocked and hurriedly asked him, "Why did uncle do this?" ”

Qiu Yan said: "I picked that time to do it, just because at that time the battle between the emperor and the abolished prince to seize the heir was turbulent, and it only took a little Hu Manvine to make the queen mother unconscious, and the suspicion of Empress Chen was implemented, and the first emperor finally made up his mind to abolish the queen ......."

He took two steps closer and looked directly into Chu Xue's eyes, "There is no impossibility in the world, the former King Heng is now the emperor, Wenwen, now you can help the Yue family clear their grievances, and help the general's wife and son avenge their son!" In this world, only you can! ”

The earlier mystery was solved at this time, and Chu Xue finally figured out the truth, it turned out that Song Chen was able to ascend the throne, and Uncle Xiaocheng also had credit.

At this time, the word "revenge" came into her ears, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. She also thought about this possibility, but even if Song Chen favored her again, she was just a palace concubine, and she couldn't interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty.

But then Qiu Yan's words gave her hope, Qiu Yan said: "The general's former subordinates have gone elsewhere one after another, and there are also people who want to take revenge like you and me, such as Chai Jin, the squire of the military department, as far as I know, I have always respected the general in the past, and I am also unwilling to be for the Yue family, and General Qin Mu, no, now it should be called Anxi Hou, and even ......" Qiu Yan lowered his voice and said: "Even within the Xu family, there is no one." ”

Chu Xue looked at him in surprise, she never thought that there were so many people in this world who had their fathers in their hearts, the squire of the military department, Uncle Qin Mu, his father Chu Lin, his brother Chu Jian, and even Xu Jilin's subordinates...... In this way, it is by no means impossible to overturn the case for my father.

Seeing that Chu Xue's gaze gradually became firm, Qiu Yan took the opportunity to tell the purpose of his trip, and he persuaded him earnestly: "The harem and the previous dynasty contain each other, if you want to bring down Xu Jilin, you must first shake the queen, so, Wenwen, you must not sink like this!" If you want to gain a foothold in the harem for a long time, in addition to your position, you must not lose your favor. What's more, now the Chu family outside the palace and the little princess in the palace all need to be attached to you, if you don't rise up, where will they go? If the emperor is really cold-hearted, won't they be kneaded at will? So the most important thing at the moment is to return to favor! ”

Qiu Yan spoke bitterly, wanting to arouse Chu Xue's hope and fighting spirit, but he didn't know that Chu Xue had never lost his sacred heart, so how could he say that he would regain his favor?

The old people have already recognized each other, Uncle Xiaocheng has paid too much for the Yue family, Chu Xue feels that this is the most trustworthy relative, she should not hide it from him anymore, and if she can discuss with Qiu Yan from time to time, it should be much better to deal with the queen in the future. So Chu Xue calmed down a little and truthfully informed the other party of Song Chen's arrangement.

It turned out that Beihu had repeatedly made trouble on the border, and Song Chen had already made up his mind to conquer, but because Dongfu was also about to move, in order to prevent the two expeditions from harming the national strength, Song Chen decided to first win over Jin Li, who was watching and swinging between the two countries, in order to stabilize Dongfu, so as to seize the time to get rid of Beihu first, so as to restore the stability of the border.

And pretending to snub Chu Xue for "pampering" Concubine Li, and taking the initiative to show favor to Jin Li in the name of pampering Concubine Li, is one of his means to stabilize Dongfu.

On the other hand, because of Xu Jilin's arrogance, Song Chen no longer wanted to use him, or rather, he didn't want him to earn military merits. And after the last time the queen and Concubine Li were at Le'er's first birthday banquet, Song Chen also saw that Concubine Li had been used by the queen, and in order to prevent the Xu family, Song Chen was not ready to reveal this arrangement to the queen, so in the entire harem, only Chu Xue knew about it.

After Chu Xue revealed the truth of this matter, Qiu Yan understood the truth of Chu Xue's "fall from grace", and finally put his mind at ease. He really thought that Song Chen was angry and colded her because Chu Xue refuted Xu Jilin at the celebration banquet, but now he knew that Song Chen was also wary of Xu.

That's a good thing.

Yanling, who was listening silently on the side, finally figured it out, she never believed that the emperor would really dislike the master, but when she took Le'er to the Qinzheng Palace every day to ask for peace, Song Chen no longer asked about the master, which did make her a little worried, and now that she has figured out the truth, she finally put her mind at ease. She smiled and said to Chu Xue: "The slave is still strange, how can the emperor be willing to keep the master cold, now it's okay." After rejoicing for a while, she said: "But this time has been closed, and I have to listen to the cynicism of those people when I go to Fengyi Palace every day, and it is always difficult to be the master." ”

"What's so hard about that?" Chu Xue smiled faintly, "No matter what they do, they just want to make me sad, but it's a pity that when the truth is revealed, it will be them who will be sad!" ”

Yan Ling and Qiu Yan nodded together, and then listened to her: "For me, it's just a quiet day, it's nothing. As for Concubine Li, she is just a chess piece, let alone take it to heart, but the emperor has already become wary of Fengyi Palace and even the Xu family, this is the most important thing! ”

Qiu Yan was silent, and Yan Ling's eyes lit up.

After being silent for a while, Qiu Yan asked, "But what do you want me to do?" ”

Chu Xue shook her head, "Not yet, my uncle has already helped me too much!" Knowing that you are here, from now on, I can rest assured, if there is anything in the future, I will let Fugui invite you. After a pause, she remembered something important, and hurriedly asked, "Is there anyone else in the palace who knows the identity of her uncle?" ”

Qiu Yan hurriedly comforted her, "No, don't worry, I've become like this, I can't even recognize you, who else can know?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Xue's heart settled down, but she was bitter again. Yes, Uncle Xiao Cheng has become like this, the three of them who survived have changed their identities with secrets, compared to Uncle Xiao Cheng now, did she live too smoothly in the past?

Seeing that Chu Xue was about to burst into tears again, Qiu Yan hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Although Fugui doesn't know, it is available, you can rest assured." ”

She nodded.

In order to avoid suspicion from others, the conversation between several people in the room was inconvenient for too long, and Qiu Yan was relieved to learn the truth, so he took his leave. After all, they are in the same palace, and the coming day will be long.

Soon after Chu Xue and Qiu Yan recognized, Song Chen finally personally prepared the generals to go to the north, he was stationed in Yanzhou for more than ten years, and dealt with the barbarian tribe of Beihu many times, if he was familiar with Beihu, it was none other than his former Yan army, so the main general of the Yan army was still sent to the expedition this time.

Since the whole plan was made by Song Chen in private, it was inevitable that the DPRK and China would be surprised when they heard the holy decree of the expedition to Beihu, but before the generals left, there was an astonishing news, which made the ministers of the DPRK and China talk a lot, Song Chen divided part of the army under Xu Jilin, the Marquis of Pingnan, and incorporated it into the Yan army of this expedition.

This arrangement actually makes sense, this expedition to Beihu, Song Chen was moved to completely exterminate the heart, so he organized a huge Yan army, but if you study it carefully, the emperor only uses soldiers and does not use generals, and it is indeed interesting.

The emperor called the army under the Marquis of Pingnan, but did not use any of his generals, but reused a few newcomers who had just been promoted...... Some people began to speculate that the Holy Lord had already begun to cultivate new people?

However, before everyone could recover from this variable, they immediately heard another shocking news.

This time to mobilize troops against Beihu, the king decided to drive the expedition in person!
