Empress Dowager Mu was quiet for a while, and she was so crying that Mrs. Tan had a headache, and the anger in her heart was also aroused, "This woman is also too deceitful!" You go back for the time being, and stay until tomorrow, and then the mourning family will be the master of your mother and son! ”

Mrs. Tan heard hopeful and happy in her heart, but she was not very happy to let her go, "Right now, where are the concubines and mothers and sons going?" ”

Empress Dowager Mu said impatiently, "Don't you even have a maiden family except for the Guogong Mansion?" ”

Mrs. Tan said in her heart, what is there to go back to that broken family? Besides, I don't have anything to look up to, so wouldn't it be a joke to go back like this? But seeing that the Queen Mother was displeased, she didn't dare to refute.

It's just that before leaving, the Queen Mother said, "Remember to bring Mother Lu tomorrow and explain things clearly together." The mourning family wants to be your master, and you must be able to stand on your own! ”

Mrs. Tan's heart skipped a beat, and she already understood. He bowed down and agreed to retreat, a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

After she left, Shanyin couldn't help but persuade in a low voice, "Queen Mother, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate, right?" Everything has a first come, first come, and tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the grandfather of the country is the same situation with his wife......"

Empress Dowager Mu smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "Do you think the mourning family can still have a good year?" There was such a big battle before, is there no follow-up? Where will the face of the mourning family go? ”

Shanyin was secretly frightened when she heard it, did the Queen Mother still want to let Nianfu become a monk?

But Empress Dowager Mu really has no choice.

If she doesn't let Nianfu become a monk, then if someone traces the previous food incident, how can she justify herself? Even if she is willing to push Mrs. Tan out of the coffin to take the blame. But can she serve the public alone?

Besides, let's put aside her prejudice against Hui Niang's mother and daughter, Mrs. Tan was helped by her with one hand, and Mu Chengguan was also her successor, if she drove Hui Niang out like this, wouldn't she be slapping her in the face?

There is also the food that Mu Shaoqin brought back, she must go and ask for it. Mrs. Tan's mother and son must also be sent back to the Guogong Mansion. As for Nianfu, even if she is sorry for her father and mother under Jiuquan, she must send her to become a monk.

Otherwise, in the eyes of the world. Where does she, the queen mother, still have prestige?

For the first time. Mu Xihua felt that the word Queen Mother not only represented glory and dignity, but also had a heavy weight and bitterness.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

She was no longer able to think about herself at the beginning of the matter. Why would such a big liver fire be moved because it was so unpleasant. It's out of control. She just wants to clean up this mess before the emperor comes back now, so as not to laugh at the world.

Watch her rub her temples. The face was haggard, and Shanyin had nothing to say. But she also secretly blamed herself, if at the beginning, when the Queen Mother saw the portrait of Nianfu, she didn't say what the Queen Mother wanted, or earlier, she didn't help hide the true information of Huiniang's mother and daughter, would things have changed?

But now, where else can there be these ifs?

Knock, knock.

The sound of the drums sounded, and with a dull creak, the palace began to close and lock.

A gust of wind passed through the warm neck, causing goosebumps in the good sound.

Glancing at the dark sky, Shanyin dragged his heavy steps back to the room. Anyway, I hope it will get better tomorrow.

But tomorrow, will it really get better?

The moon is dark and windy, and the snow is full of bows and knives.

In a barren ridge 500 miles away from the capital, a small group of cavalry was rushing through the wind and snow. There was no movement except for the dull sound of horses' hooves crashing on the snow and the heavy breathing of the people on the horses.

But suddenly, when the horse leading the way stumbled and fell into a snow pit, the click of broken bones was clear in the ears, and everyone was terrified.

"I'm sorry!" The cavalry on that horse was very skilled, and even in such a situation, he could use his backhand to cut the throat of the horse, and abruptly stop the unspoken sorrow. Then he took the rope thrown by his companion, jumped onto his horse, and continued on his way.

And there was another person in the team who rushed to lead the way without hesitation, but it was such a small delay that people could already hear the sound of the horse's hooves of the pursuers behind him.

"Damn it!" Suddenly, one of the people in the team slowed down, "It's not a way to run like this, it's too dangerous to rush like this, you have to think of a way to get rid of them!" ”

Although he wears the same clothes as a soldier, he still stands out in the crowd with such an outstanding temperament, and it is Emperor Daliang who is high.

Another person flashed out, "Then Your Majesty will go first, and the ministers will stay behind!" ”

No one recognized that this man with a frosty face and a scruffy beard was actually Mr. Su Da from Yushu, the country's superintendent.

"No! Our people are already scattered enough, and if we continue to disperse, it will be even more dangerous. Fortunately, Gongsun Hong has already led their large army away, and against these ghostly guys, let's concentrate on fighting with all our strength, but we have a better chance of winning. ”

Gao Xian is worthy of being the emperor on horseback, running all the way, and working out a strategy all the way, "Su Cheng, you take people to go first, pretend to divide the troops again, I stay to resist for a while, leave time to lay a few traps for you, and I will lead people over again, how about it?" ”

"Then it's better for Your Majesty to leave first, and the minister to stay, right?"

"Lead the troops to kill the enemy, you are not as good as me. But when it comes to traps, I'm not as good as you. They wouldn't have thought that I would stay personally, so it's best for you to go, don't be verbose, let's go! ”

With a whip on his horse's buttocks, Su Cheng had to take four or five people first.

No one expected that there was no fault with their alliance in Mingzhou this time, but when they were about to return to the capital, they were targeted by some people and killed all the way.

These people calculated very accurately, because only this place was a gap along the way, and it was too late to ask for help, so in desperation, Gongsun Hong had to lead a large group of men and horses to stop their main force, and let Gao Xian take Su Cheng and a group of light horsemen to run first.

If all goes well, they will be able to reach the border of the capital before dawn, so they must get out of danger tonight anyway.

When you find a suitable place. Su Cheng immediately stopped and asked the soldiers to move stones over to set up the formation.

Along the way, relying on Su Cheng's messy stones, he blocked the pursuers several times, so the soldiers were very convinced of his ability, and went to work without saying a word.

A formation with a hidden trap was built, and the sound of fighting behind him had already sounded, thinking that he had already handed it over, Su Cheng was very anxious in his heart, but he forced himself to calm down. I looked at the surrounding terrain and thought about it. He motioned to a few soldiers to build a low wall of snow in front of the formation, and set up another formation next to it.

The soldiers wondered, people came over, at most a formation. What are you doing with two?

But they are born with a strong ability to execute. Even if Su Cheng didn't explain, he quickly did so. Then Gao Xian over there had gradually attracted people over. Su Cheng led the soldiers to hide aside, and Gao Xian quickly led them to the front.

"Beware of ambushes!"

As soon as they saw that strange stone formation appearing again, the pursuers who had already been fooled became vigilant. They didn't want to go forward easily, but jumped to the place where the snow wall was, but once they jumped in, it was difficult to come out again.

Su Cheng took advantage of the air to shoot an arrow hatefully and shot it at the leader. This man listened to the rough voice, and he didn't know how old he was, but he was really treacherous, and he could have escaped several times, but he was all bad.

With a snap, he hit him in the chest, and the man fell to the ground.

"Ake!"

Su Qing heard an exclamation from his companion over there.

"Kill!" With Gao Xian's order, everyone turned around and killed back.

Unexpectedly, those people were very righteous, and after killing a bloody road, they escorted the seriously injured man away, and the rest of them would rather die in battle, and none of them surrendered.

But that way, they don't have to worry about being caught up with again. It was only when I went back to examine the dead people that I didn't find any useful clues.

These people not only have ordinary Han faces, but also the faces of the northwestern tribes, and it is really difficult to say which way they are.

It's just that in a man's arms, Su Cheng found a silver hairpin inlaid with pearls, and with the help of the torch, you can also see two small characters engraved on it - pearls.

This hairpin is not valuable, but it is very new, and it is to be given away at first glance. It's just that this is originally a pearl hairpin, why do you have to engrave the word pearl?

Su Cheng felt a little strange, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he just put it in his arms and went on the road again.

When it was gradually dawn and saw the outline of the capital in the distance, all the people, including Gao Xian, couldn't help but feel hot in their hearts, and they were even more like arrows, riding horses and galloping.

Pingguo Mansion.

Although the journey was tiring, the old couple of the Shi family still retained the habits they had developed for most of their lives and woke up early.

As soon as he opened his eyes, a maid came in to serve, bringing hot water and tea, and new clothes from the inside out, all of which had been baked on the smoked cage, hot.

The old couple had never been served like this for half their lives, and they were very unaccustomed. Let the maids go out and clean up after themselves.

Aunt Shi said with a smile, "Why do I still think it's like a dream, we picked up a son-in-law casually, how can it be Pingguo Gong?" ”

But Shi Gui also got up early and came in, but his expression was a little sullen.

Even if Shi Rui and his wife are not good, they are also his own father and mother, and now he lives in such a good place, but he doesn't know where they are and how they are doing, so he is really relieved.

Aunt Shi and Father Shi glanced at each other, looking at this kind-hearted grandson and a little unbearable. From the heart of the second elder, he is really cold to Shi Ruigao's family, including Shi Xiuxiu, but he still has hope for this grandson.

Shi Gui has a good heart and understands things. But if he is allowed to be with his father and mother again, the second elder is really afraid that they will bring this only good male grandson of the Shi family to ruin. But as old people, they can't stop the child and prevent him from getting close to his biological parents, right?

If you don't look back, you should discuss with Hui Niang's mother and daughter to see if there is any good way to get the child on the right path. As for whether Shi Rui's family is doing well, the second elder doesn't want to worry about that.

It's just that family, it's not good at the moment, but it can't be said to be bad.

(I just recovered a little bit, and I plan to add more, but as a result, there are people in the building who are decorating!) Noise, how terrifying this is for codewords! Huh, but it still has to be full of male rise, today's second can not be so late, although I dare not guarantee 12 o'clock, but try to strive for a little earlier. Grip the claws! (To be continued......)
