Zhu Di nodded, "It can only be him." ”

This is the first large-scale war since the establishment of Yongle country, Zhu Neng even went out as a national prince, and Zhu Di personally sent the soldiers out of the noon gate to send the soldiers on the expedition, with the intention of suppressing the rebellion in Jiaozhi Annam in one fell swoop, so that it would always be dedicated to the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Neng was old and strong, his ambition was unpaid, and he was very high-spirited, and he set out with an army of 300,000.

And my second phase of recuperation, is also coming to an end, Hu Xian came to deliver medicine every day, sometimes he left without saying anything, sometimes he said two words, and it always made me feel yin and yang, because I didn't like him very much, thinking that after his master Mr. Hou came back, he wouldn't have to see him again.

On this day, he changed into a white robe to pay tribute, and he was dressed in black, and the most conspicuous thing was that a white cloth on his arm was a little red, and I was surprised, "What's wrong with Mr. Hou?" ”

Hu Xian's expression was sad and his will was sluggish, "Master was attacked by a black bear when collecting a hundred-year-old snow lotus, although he fled back to the post station for a long time, after all, he ran out of energy, and before he died, he sent back the newly collected medicinal materials, and left a message to tell Xiaosheng that he must complete his will for him, so that Niangniang's wish will come true." ”

I collapsed in the chair, and I couldn't help but blame myself, Mr. Hou was so old that he went thousands of miles to the frontier for my own selfish desires, just to find a doctor for me, and finally took his life! Thinking about this, my eyes turned red, "Can Mr. Hou's bones be transported back?" ”

"Master left a message, people die like lights out, it's not that the fallen leaves return to their roots to get peace of mind, he has already asked someone to cremate himself in the local area, and he can find a place to bury himself in peace." Hu Xian said, looking at me thoughtfully, his eyes were as sharp as a torch, which made me feel that I had nothing to hide. I was already sad and guilty, and when he looked at me like this, I only felt uncomfortable, and said, "That's it, the old gentleman's own last wish, then let him be, you go down." ”

Hu Xian nodded, "Today's medicine has been handed over to Aunt Bao'er, and I will go back now with the medicine that Master exchanged for his life." ”

When Zhu Di came to dine at noon, I told him that Mr. Hou had died in the mouth of a black bear on the frontier, and he was also surprised, "There is such a thing?" ”

I nodded, and the tears began to fall, "So, I have created a sin." I don't know if Mr. Hou has a wife, son and daughter at home, so I have to settle down with them to have some peace of mind. ”

Zhu Di sighed, "Mr. Hou has a strange personality in his life, he has no wife, let alone children, he himself is already in his old age, and his old father and mother have passed away a long time ago, he is really a person who has no worries." ”

"Huh?" I was extremely disappointed, "In this case, then I owe him a favor, and I will not be able to pay it off for the rest of my life." ”

"Doesn't he have an apprentice who delivers medicine to you every day? Just reward him well, let him carry forward Mr. Hou's mantle, and think that Mr. Hou will have a soul in the sky and can also have a comfort. ”

I nodded in agreement, but my heart jumped suddenly, and I looked at Zhu Di without saying a word. Finally finished this lunch, Xu Yunhua just sent someone to invite Zhu Di to go, I sat alone in front of the table, looking at the tableware he had just used in a silent daze, Caiyue came in to clean up the table, and looked at me and smiled, "Niangniang, what are you doing in a daze?" Didn't the emperor just leave on the front foot, and you started to miss it on the back foot, right? ”

I looked at her innocent face, smiled, and smiled, "You are still young, when you reach the age, I will point you to a wishful husband, and you will know what it feels like." ”

Caiyuetong blushed, "Why is Niang Niang making fun of slaves like this?" ”

I smiled and raised my eyebrows, "Am I kidding you, can you do anything with me?" Can you not clean up the leftovers on the table for me? Besides, how do you know I'm joking? ”

Caiyue saw that I was true or false, it seemed to be joking and serious, and the smile on her face froze a little, "Niangniang......"

I interrupted her, "How old are you?" ”

"Ten...... Seventeen. Caiyue said with a little crinching, changing her previous liveliness.

"Seventeen ......" I nodded, thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "I entered the Yanwang Mansion when I was seventeen years old, and I didn't understand anything at that time, I have a good eye for you, I might as well tell you an allusion, I'm afraid you have heard it elsewhere, I am not a maid in the palace, back then, I was a hundred households set up by my grandfather himself, that is, today's Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei, do you know?" ”

Caiyue looked at me vigilantly and nodded again, "Yes." ”

"Long live the brocade guard, what is it used for, do you know?"

Caiyue nodded first, and then immediately shook her head again, "Caiyue is young, please give me advice." ”

"It's okay to point you out, but you're not too young, when I'm as old as you, I've done a lot of big things, and I even have a lot of resignation on my hands, I don't rely on the old in front of you, and you can't use your youth as an excuse to fool me." I looked at Caiyue and smiled.

Caiyue didn't know why, she knelt on the ground with a plop, her face was full of tears, "Niangniang forgives her sins, Caiyue is loyal to the master, don't dare to fool Niangniang!" I laughed and pulled her up, "What's that?" What's wrong with you today, a little girl who used to be quite eloquent, and today she made a few jokes like this. ”

Saiyue stood on the side, and she didn't remember to clean up the table, still crying, and I laughed, "I haven't finished my story with you yet." Of course, how shrewd the grandfather was, in order to prevent these feudal kings from having bad intentions and trying to seize the throne, he also asked the Jinyi Health Department to assign eyeliner to monitor every move of the feudal kings in each feudal palace, as long as they have any wrongdoing, report it immediately, I am the eyeliner that was sent to the Yanwang Mansion back then.

At the beginning, I was also loyal, and every once in a while I reported to my superiors all the developments in the Yanwang Mansion, including every move, every flower and tree, and later, I found out that the emperor asked us to monitor the vassal king, but it was just a formality, even if the prince really tried to rebel, at most it was to pull back to the capital, still good food and drink, still powerful, broken bones and tendons, do you say yes, father and son.

Later, I found out that Lord Yan, that is, our current Long Live Lord, is not only loyal and defending the country, but also very good to his subordinates, so he was cut down in Beiping, so there will be so many people to support him. After Taizu's death, Emperor Jianwen favored a few civil officials and ministers, threw Jinyiwei aside, and even wanted to kill us, the remnants of the previous dynasty. Do you know that in the competition for power, never be the one who is being used, because - when you are done, you will be unloaded and killed. ”

Caiyue's eyes were red, as if she understood or not, looking at me, the wisdom on her face in the past had now become confused.

I laughed, "Of course it's a good thing that you want to be faithful to your master, but only if you choose the right master." Because it's not only the master you identify who has the power to kill you, but your enemy, it doesn't take much trouble to crush you. I took her hand, pulled her to my side, and whispered into her ear, "I haven't told you yet, the emperor has long found out that I am the eyeliner sent by Taizu, and he is moved by me, because he didn't kill me, if there is no emotion, I may have thousands of ways to die, I died of palpitations in the middle of the night, and I fell into the well and died...... Even if he reports it back to Taizu, what can Taizu do? You won't turn your face for a little brocade guard and your son who guards the frontier, right? ”

Caiyue kept swallowing her saliva, her body trembled slightly, I smiled in my heart, after all, there was still less in the world, "Go and do things, after eating, I am very tired, call Bao'er to serve me for a lunch break." ”

Caiyue Nuo Nuo hurriedly walked out, walked to the threshold, and almost tripped over. I looked at her back, and I was ruthless in my heart, my current ordinary life is for my life, if anyone wants to destroy my life, I will destroy her first!

Hu Xian went into the palace to deliver medicine, except for the first time brought in by Li Xing, it was Zhu Di who knew, and every time he came in, the little eunuch in my palace welcomed him from the corner gate, I thought that Zhu Di was busy with affairs, and he didn't tell him this little thing, but he knew it clearly, and when he had lunch today, he mentioned that Hu Xian sent me medicine every day. Zhu Di is not a person with a broken mouth, let alone a confused person, he doesn't want to spoil the superficial harmony between me and Xu Yunhua, so he deliberately reminded me at this time---- he knows these things, and someone else has told him. He was warning me to be careful of the people around me, Caiyue was given to me by Xu Yunhua in front of Zhu Di, she was probably afraid that without Zhu Di I would categorically refuse, but this also made Zhu Di understand that I have Xu Yunhua's eyes here.

Zhu Di's meaning is very clear, he has no way to blatantly help me and offend Xu Yunhua, this matter needs to be handled by myself, and he can sit back and ignore it at most.

Bao'er helped me to the edge of the bed and sat down, and when she saw that I was depressed, she asked, "What's the matter, did Caiyue upset Niangniang?" I just saw that her eyes were red, as if she had cried. ”

"What's the matter, but I told her two stories, and I was moved." I leaned on the high pillow, looked at Bao'er, and suddenly sighed, "Is there no room for two tigers in one mountain?" Can't we not invade each other? ”

"Between the two tigers, they don't know what each other thinks, and if they don't get rid of each other, they always have to worry that the other party will bite them coldly."

I sighed, "So, I have no day of peace?" ”

"You and the queen mother, one has the right and the other is a pet, you may be able to tolerate her, where can she tolerate you?" Bao'er said with a long sigh. <
