Mingyu quietly walked up to her from the desk, "Miss Wanrou, the soldiers in your uncle's hands are not just conspiring with me, but they are forced to do so, if you don't do this, he will definitely die." ”

Xiao Wanrou glared angrily, "Now that all the military power is in your hands, you can naturally say whatever you want." I sue you to let your people get out of my way, and you can go wherever I want, and don't treat us like criminals. ”

Mingyu's face was expressionless, but the words he said were sharp, "This is my place, naturally you have to listen to me." Miss Wanrou ...... Seeing what she was going to say, Mingyu said loudly, "I advise you to go back, if it weren't for the fact that you are Sister Wanyao, I'm afraid you won't even be able to stay here." ”

Xiao Wanrou clenched her fists angrily, now her uncle Xiao Ze seems to be in hiding, and she doesn't ask anything else, her father Xiao Man was also assassinated, and only she and her father Liu Ruyun were left in the original Prime Minister Zuo's mansion. Even her husband Zhou Xinning was implicated in the matter of Prime Minister Zuo and was dismissed and investigated.

And Zhou Xinning looked like he couldn't support the wall with mud, he only knew that he was looking for flowers and willows everywhere, and he didn't have any skills at all. She was born as a young lady, where did she suffer such anger, and she didn't want to live such a life, and now she feels that she is not even as good as a subordinate.

Xiao Wanrou took a stomach from Mingyu and left, and when she returned to her residence, Liu Ruyun knew that she was going to look for Mingyu again, and stepped forward and said, "You went to him again?" How many times have I told you, don't go to him again, he is Xiao Wanyao's person, how can he be good to us. ”

Xiao Wanrou took a deep breath and said unconvinced, "Actually, in fact, we didn't treat Xiao Wanyao too badly before, but now that she has become the queen of Chu State, we are treated like this." I'm. I knew that this was the case, I should have married the prince of Chu at that time, and now I am the queen. ”

Although Liu Ruyun was very accustomed to her daughter, she couldn't help frowning when she heard her say this, "You said you were going to marry Xue Tianao, but what was the result?" Xue Tianao is dead, it's useless to talk so much nonsense, and in the end, he chose to choose, but he chose Zhou Xinning as a waste. ”

Xiao Wanrou heard her mother say this, and her heart became even more unhappy, "I didn't want to marry him at the beginning, it's not that you said that his father is a household secretary, and he has a bright future in the future, if it weren't for this, could I marry this waste?" Now I don't know where to go to look for flowers and willows. ”

When she thought of Zhou Xinning, Xiao Wanrou was itching angrily, and when she thought of Xiao Wanyao, her heart was like a hundred ants scratching. She is the descendant of Prime Minister Zuo, she should be in a high position, enjoy glory and wealth, all the qiē should be her, what is Xiao Wanyao, why?

Both of them fell into silence, now they have no backer, Xue Man is also dead, Zhou Xinning is not angry, and now the Zhou family is still suspended and investigated, and the emperor does not trust them. Only their orphans and widows are left here, still living under other people's roofs, watching other people's faces.

The most important thing is that people can take them in because of Xiao Wanyao.

Liu Ruyun thought hard, she didn't want to stay in this place, where else could she go? Just when she thought she had no relatives, Xiao Wanrou suddenly stood up, "I know who we can go to." ”

Liu Ruyun looked at her with a hint of doubt, "Who to go to?" Who else can you go to if you have no relatives? "People like them are still guilty, and even if they have relatives, they don't dare to take them in.

Xiao Wanrou said mysteriously, "We can go to Gong Qing." I've seen her before, she is a very honest person, with few eyes and stupidity, although Xue Tianao is dead, but she gave birth to the child of the Xue family, the right prime minister will definitely not ignore her. ”

Liu Ruyun was stunned, she knew who this Gong Qing was, it was the princess of the Yan Kingdom, but they were not related to her, if they went to find her, could they take her in? She felt that this was a little inappropriate, although life in Mingyu was not as good as in Prime Minister Zuo's mansion.

But at least Xiao Ze and they are all here, and Mingyu will not hurt them, if they leave Jiangnan and go to Jiangbei, it will be uncertain. When Xiao Man left Jiangbei, he was charged with rebellion, and if he fell into the hands of ill-intentioned people at that time, he didn't know how he died.

Liu Ruyun was a little scared, she didn't dare to go. Xiao Wanrou looked at her timid appearance and didn't stop her, "If you don't want to go, then I'll go by myself, I'm not afraid of anyone anyway." I don't believe it, I, Xiao Wanrou, can't live the previous life. She gritted her teeth, but what she was thinking about was Xiao Wanyao, she was the queen, but she was just the queen of the Chu State, and sooner or later she would have a better life than her.

Xiao Wanrou decided to go to Gong Qing, but she was the only one who went, and when she left, she only brought some silver with her, and then left alone, only Liu Ruyun knew where she went, and even Zhou Xinning didn't know.

After the news of Xiao Wanrou's disappearance reached Mingyu, he just asked people to tell Xiao Wanyao the news, and did not send his subordinates to investigate.

Chu State, Zhenling here, they got the news of Xiao Wanrou's disappearance and also got another big news, Tang Siqi of Wei State abdicated and passed the throne to Xue Tianao's son Xue Cheng, Gong Qing became the queen mother of Wei State, and the Xue family completely controlled the government.

After Zhenling learned the news, she was stunned for a long time and didn't come back to her senses, and then she began to laugh, "Oh my God! That's okay, you know? Xue Tianao is not the son of the right prime minister, he was born to the first emperor and Concubine Yun, do you believe this is true? ”

Zhentian on the side frowned, "Maybe it's a fact that the Xue family deliberately fabricated in order to rebel!" Zhen Ling also agreed with him, now that Xue Tianao was 'dead', and the first emperor and Concubine Yun were no longer there, they naturally said whatever they wanted.

Zhen Ling sneered, "This Xue Qinliang really has the means!" Now the entire Wei State can be said to be theirs. Speaking of this, Zhenling was suddenly stunned, and suddenly turned his head to look at Zhentian, "That's not right! If this is the case, then isn't Xue Tianao the first emperor of Wei? Ah, if Xue Tianao returned to Wei alive at this time, wouldn't he be the emperor of Wei? ”

After Zhenling said this, Zhentian also felt a little strange, Xue Tianao was indeed dead in the eyes of others, but he was still alive, if he went back alive one day...... Shaking couldn't help but be stunned.

In this way, Xue Tianao almost effortlessly, and without returning to the Wei State, someone sent the rivers and mountains of the Wei State to him. And you don't have to be charged with any crimes. All the qiē had someone help him do it himself. ”

Zhen Ling's eyes narrowed, stealing an incredible taste, biting his lower lip slightly, and finally took a breath and said, "Don't you think it's all likely within Xue Tianao's plan?" In this way, who will benefit the most? It's Xue Tianao! ”

Zhentian agreed with Zhenling's statement, frowned and pondered, "Xue Tianao is really not simple. Without wasting a single soldier, he can take the Wei country, not only is he very ambitious, but he is also very good at his means. ”

Zhen Ling became proud again, "Of course, the man that our eldest lady has a crush on is definitely not an ordinary person. Xue Tianao, Xue Tianao, this girl really admires you. Speaking of this, she sighed again, "But, Xue Tianao is now in the Chu State, doesn't he want to take back the throne?" ”

Thinking about this question, the two of them fell into deep thought at the same time, and finally Zhentian said softly, "When you first saw Xue Tianao here, Guo Ping hadn't found him yet, but only later found his charred body, could it be that he was really dead?" ”

As soon as Zhentian's words came out, Zhenling was also stunned, how could she not have thought of this time difference before. But I think that Xue Tianao, a magical person, shouldn't die so lightly, he can escape from Guo Ping, and it shouldn't be so simple to be arrested again. "No, probably not! I don't think so. ”

Although Zhen Ling said this, he was still a little worried in his heart, what if Xue Tianao was really dead? Just after she met him, she was caught by Guo Ping.

The two of them didn't say anything more, hoping that Xue Tianao would not die so lightly.

Xiao Wanyao's child was more than three months old, and at this time she knew that Gong Qing had also given birth to a son, who was more than two months older than her son, and knew that his name was Xue Cheng. Looking out the window, Xiao Wanyao was a little dazed, her eyes were like water, but she was empty, and a baby's cry pulled her thoughts back to reality.

Then she turned around and walked towards the cradle, and when she passed, the nurse was already there coaxing the child, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly saluted, "See the queen's mother, the prince is afraid that he has just woken up and is a little hungry, so the slave and maid will carry him to feed." ”

Xiao Wanyao walked in front of him, reached out and lifted the quilt wrapped in the child, and saw his red little face, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He grabbed his little hand again, and then asked the nurse to take the child away.

Because Xiao Wanyao knows the sinister in the harem, when the child has not grown up and has not had the ability to defend himself, those villains will definitely not give up on him. So most of the time, she keeps the child by her side, and if the nurse takes it away, there is also a special person to take care of it.

After the nurse left with the child in her arms, Zhu'er walked in from outside with a cup of hot tea and said with a smile, "The slave maid saw the prince just now, it's so cute." It's very likable, no matter who teases him, he always likes to giggle, and his little hands give him something to grab. ”

Xiao Wanyao stood in front of the window again, but only showed a faint smile when she looked at Guo Rui just now, and then her whole face sank again.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhu'er walked over with hot tea, "Queen Mother, you seem to have a lot of things on your mind recently, you are depressed every day, if you let the emperor see it, you have to think about it more, Concubine Xian is trying her best to please the emperor, and I can't wait to catch the handle of the queen mother." ”

Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath, turned around, and faced Zhu'er, her expression was extremely ugly, and now every time she saw the child in the nurse's arms, she couldn't help but think of Xue Tianao. Originally, I thought that if I was far away, I could forget about it, and I thought that if I said that I would bury it, I could bury him. She has always been naïve to think that as long as she doesn't say that she is emotional, she can control her heart.

In the end, I was scarred, and some things happened, not intentionally, because in the world of feelings, there is a complex called can't help it, "Zhu'er, I'm fine." You don't have to worry. She still believes that she can forget, slowly precipitate memories over time, and then bury them. The reason why she still misses it is only because there is something else that makes her completely dead and even disheartened.

Chapter 220: Competing for favor

The rash on Huo Yongdie's body finally got better after three months. It's just that Guo Ping rarely goes to her anymore, because there is another woman who has attracted him, and that person is Shi Xuezhen, the daughter of the Shangshu of the Military Department of the Chu State. The military department Shangshu Ishida is such a daughter, since she was a child, she is regarded as a pearl in the palm of her hand, and he is now also a veteran of the two dynasties, loyal to the first emperor, and has great military achievements. And he was very supportive of Guo Ping's succession to the throne, so he won Guo Ping's trust.

In order to win over Ishida, Guo Ping summoned his daughter into the palace and made her a nobleman, because Guo Ping was not allowed to get married and drafted within three years, so he entered the palace directly, without other ceremonies.

And because Shi Guiren and Huo Yongdie are both daughters of ministers in the court, and the two of them have known each other, Shi Guiren's level is not enough to live in the palace directly, so Shi Guiren is arranged in Haoyue Xuan, the side hall of Chuxiu Palace, where Huo Yongdie lives.

Shi Xuezhen has a well-behaved personality, smart and clever, eighteen years old, and is also very cute, influenced by her father since she was a child, has read a lot of military books, and has her own remarks about leading soldiers to fight. It's a pity that she is a daughter, and she can't really go to the battlefield to lead the soldiers to fight, but it's a bit of a paper talk. Not only that, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. As soon as he entered the palace, he was deeply loved by Guo Ping.

On this day, during dinner, Guo Ping originally said that she would come to Xiao Wanyao's side, but she waited for a long time and didn't see him coming, so she ordered someone to ask, but when she came back, she learned that he couldn't dine at Shi Guiren's side, Xiao Wanyao didn't say a word, just sat down and ate her own food calmly. There was no reaction to Guo Ping's coming or not, his expression was as indifferent as water, and his face was full of indifference.

Zhu'er was a little anxious, "In the past, the emperor promised the queen, but he never broke his promise. The stone nobleman had only been here for a few days, and he had forgotten about the queen mother. Mother, you're not in a hurry. ”

Xiao Wanyao was eating, but she felt that without Guo Ping, she was more comfortable, "Your Majesty, that's what it is." The world is his, the harem is his, and naturally he can do whatever he wants. There's nothing to argue about, so let's sit down and eat together. Don't waste a table full of dishes. ”

Seeing that Xiao Wanyao seemed to have a good appetite, Zhu'er frowned, "Queen Mother, can you really eat it?" The Haoyue election that Shi promised is on Concubine Xian's side, so you are not afraid that the emperor will be robbed by them? ”

Xiao Wanyao was amused by Zhu'er's words, and looked up at her, "Why is this palace worried that the emperor will be robbed by them?" If I really rob it, I will lose a debt. ”

Zhu'er didn't understand what Xiao Wanyao meant by the debt, but she now knew that even if she was a queen in the harem, if she fell out of favor, she would be bullied by other concubines, and besides, Xiao Wanyao was originally from Wei, and the reason why she could still be a queen here was because of the peace treaties that she signed with Wei when she went abroad.

If there were no treaties, Empress Xiao Wanyao's position would be in jeopardy, and what happened after the abolition was not unheard of in history. Now that Wei and Chu seem to be going to war, by that time, will Xiao Wanyao's position still be kept? lost Guo Ping's favor, how to survive in this harem? But even if Zhu'er was in a hurry, it was useless, Xiao Wanyao couldn't listen to it at all.

"Why did the queen say that? I think you're glad they snatched the emperor. Zhu'er pouted, and couldn't help but say. She was really worried about Xiao Wanyao.

She put down the chopsticks in her hand, a smile on her face, thought for a while and then said, "I am just a story with him after a chance encounter, he has feelings for me, but unfortunately my heart is dead in this life, and I can't repay his affection, the more he gives me, the more guilty I feel, if he loves others and gets the happiness he wants, I am naturally very happy." What's unwilling! ”

Saying this, Xiao Wanyao sighed deeply again, the smile on her face disappeared, her eyes were a little more silent, she looked at the moonlight outside the window, and couldn't help but say, "What's more, this is not what I want, even if he gives more, it is not what I want, so what's the use?" ”

Zhu'er gasped when she heard this, and hurriedly glanced out, "Queen Mother, you were originally such a vigilant and intelligent person, why are you talking nonsense here again, if you let the emperor know, you will be angry with you again." ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled indifferently, didn't care, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat again, even if it was only occasionally, she wanted to say something in her heart. Even if someone hears it, sometimes they want to say it willfully, and that feeling is uncontrollable.

On this day, Wu Yong accompanied Guo Ping in the imperial study to review the folds, and it was almost the New Year's time, and there were a lot of things and treasures in the palace. Naturally, there are a lot more things, especially the soldiers of Wei are still not evacuated on the border of Chu, and Lei Luo and Mingjun have already come. Guo Ping approved their plan and handed over the 300,000 military mansion to Lei Luo and asked him to send troops. Mingjun automatically asked for orders and left with Lei Luo with his troops.

Regarding the matter of the Xue family of Wei State, Guo Ping naturally heard about it a long time ago, but it was just a little accident, the Xue family actually got the Wei country like this, but it was too easy. It's a pity that Tang Siqi has exhausted all the organs, and he has also lost his most beloved woman, and he has not been able to keep his country.

After reading a few books, Guo Ping felt a little tired, so he got up and stretched his waist, and the useless ones on the side stepped forward to please, "The emperor has already watched the music for a morning, and it's almost time for lunch, why don't you take a rest first, and the slave will beat your back." ”

Guo Ping frowned, glanced at the outside and let out a sigh, and walked down from behind the imperial desk, "It's all this hour, go and tell the noble sù stone, and say that I will go to her for dinner at noon." ”

After Wu Yong ordered someone to go back, he returned to Guo Ping's side, and at this moment he was standing at the door of the main hall in a daze, holding a piece of emerald green in his hand. Wu Yong walked over cautiously and glanced at the thing in his hand, it looked like a jade pendant, but he had never seen it before, Wu Yong asked tentatively, "The emperor likes jade pendants?" ”

Guo Ping was still staring at the jade pendant, gently touching the Yao character on it with his thumb, thinking for a while, and then showing it to Wu Yong, "What do you think of this jade pendant?" Who wears something like it? ”

Wu held the jade pendant with careful hands, looked at it carefully, there was a Yao character engraved on it, and was suddenly shocked, "This is the name of the queen mother, if you can wear this kind of thing, it must be the queen mother herself, or the queen mother can trust and like people." Wu Yong thought that this was given to Guo Ping by Xiao Wanyao, at least a little token of love between them. I just said this casually.

However, he wanted to please him, but when he saw Guo Ping's face getting heavier and heavier, Wu Yong realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he knelt down and said, "The slave just said casually, the slave has never seen this thing, and he doesn't know whose thing it is, the emperor forgives him." ”

Guo Ping smiled coldly, "Get up, I don't mean to blame you, but you're right, this is indeed the queen's thing." Guo Ping's gaze sank again, and there was a little more ruthlessness in his tone. It is the queen's love for me. ”

Wu Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Guo Ping say this, but he didn't know why, since it was a love thing, it must show that the relationship between the emperor and the queen was deep, but why did Guo Ping mention this jade pendant with a terrifying face? Wu Yong didn't dare to say nonsense, and after getting up, he returned the jade pendant to Guo Ping.

Coincidentally, on this day, a new batch of tribute items was introduced, and Guo Ping symbolically selected a few things for Wu Yong to send to the queen. Wu Yong asked people to bring good things to Xiyun Palace and handed over the rewarded things to Xiao Wanyao.

Today, because Guo Ping's expression was not good when he mentioned Xiao Wanyao, he deliberately observed Xiao Wanyao's every move. She just asked people to put everything away, with an indifferent expression, she didn't ask where the emperor was, she didn't care where he ate lunch, she didn't even look out, she looked completely calm.

The emperor has not been to Xiyun Palace for a long time, some people are talking behind their backs, and naturally there are also people waiting to see a good show, Wu Yong, as the chief eunuch, naturally knows these things very well. And after staying in the harem for a long time, I understand the thoughts of the women in the harem better.

thought that Xiao Wanyao would be anxious to ask about the emperor's situation, but she didn't say a word, and it was okay if she asked them to reward them with some silver.

Wu Yong was curious for a moment about what this queen from Wei was thinking, so he said one more thing before leaving, "The emperor ordered to have dinner at Shi Guiren's place at noon." ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded, "This palace knows." ”

But Wu Yong didn't, Xiao Wanyao was stunned, thinking that he still had something, "Is there anything else going on with Gonggong Wu?" ”

"The minion is fine, the minion is gone." Wu Yong turned around to leave, and naturally there were a bunch of doubts in his heart.

However, just as he turned around, Xiao Wanyao suddenly stopped him, and Wu Yong was stunned in his heart, thinking that he was really in a hurry, but he refused to come out with a shelf. He came back again, "What else does the queen have to say?" ”

Xiao Wanyao stared at Wu Yong without speaking, got up and circled around him again, Wu Yong muttered in her heart, she didn't know what was going on, and she couldn't see anything unusual from her expression. I was a little nervous in my heart, although she was a woman from Wei State, there were still people who didn't like her very much, and now she couldn't get the emperor's favor, but she was the queen after all, and she couldn't be offended lightly.

"Is there anything the queen has to say to the minions?" Wu Yong asked again.

Xiao Wanyao finally stood in front of him and nodded, "Has Gonggong Wu not slept well recently, is prone to sweating, easy to get tired, often has headaches, and loses his appetite?" ”

Wu Yong's eyes were a little overwhelmed, Zhu'er looked at Wu Yong as if he was frightened, and immediately laughed, and stepped forward and said, "Don't be nervous, Gonggong Wu, the queen is treating you, you just need to say if you have these symptoms." ”

Wu Yong was stunned for a while, then hurriedly knelt down and said, "Back to the queen mother, what you just said is very true, the slave has been like this recently. I just looked for a doctor, and I also took a few medicines, but there was no good effect, but I didn't expect the queen mother to see the symptoms of the slave at a glance, it was really a reincarnation. ”

I had heard rumors that the queen would know how to heal, but she was already the queen, so why should she treat others, so not too many people knew what her medical skills were. Xiao Wanyao's abnormality made Wu Yong impressed, and the rumor was not just a rumor. Wu Yong naturally couldn't forget to pat her on the back.

Xiao Wanyao just had itchy hands for a while, she hadn't seen a doctor for a long time, so she said casually, "Get up, don't be so nervous." In the past, this palace was just a wandering doctor, just an ordinary person, no different from you. ”R1154
