In the rain of the capital, Xi Yunzhi took Xiao An and Yi'an to sit in a carriage for more than ten days, and finally arrived in the long-lost capital.

This time, the pomp and circumstance of their return was not comparable to that when they left. In the crowd of thousands of troops, the carriage slowly moved slowly, attracting everyone's attention with a strong return posture, sitting quietly in the carriage, Xi Yunzhi had a deep feeling of being in a different world.

Yi An fell asleep in her arms, Xiao An leaned on the window to look out, Xi Yunzhi looked out through the curtain he opened, only to see a sea of people outside the carriage, rows of soldiers pressing the long knives on their waists, walking like tigers, she knew that these people who could stay next to her carriage would be the ministers of the court who would be crowned officials and knights in the future, they were only generals under the command of the Bu family in the past, maybe some people thought that they would one day enter the court as officials, but after all, it was just a dream, and Bu Qin was the one who helped them realize their dreams.

The carriage stopped outside the city gate, and the magnificent sound of the horn resounded in the sky, showing respect for her arrival, Yi'an was woken up by the sound of the horn, rubbed her eyes sleepily, and sat up from Xi Yunzhi's arms, Xi Yunzhi tidied up her sleeping little bun, and heard someone shouting respectfully outside:

"The capital has arrived, please get off the car."

Xi Yunzhi answered, only to see that the car curtain was lifted by the two girls Ruyi Ruyue, Xi Yunzhi asked Xiao An and Yi An to get out of the car first, they were held in the hands of Zhao Yi and Han Feng respectively, and Ruyi Ruyue helped Xi Yunzhi out of the car.

The sky in the capital was gray, and the drizzle still didn't stop, but the moment Xi Yunzhi got out of the car, someone opened an umbrella for her, and a layer of waterproof and non-slip brocade sand carpet was also spread under her feet.

"See Madame!"

The voice was simply resounding in the sky and reaching the sky, Yi An was so frightened that he hid from Han Feng, but saw Xi Yunzhi walk out of the umbrella, and made a gesture to everyone to ask for it, and finally stood up.

The waiter didn't expect Xi Yunzhi to suddenly walk out of the umbrella, and hurriedly followed.

The gates of the capital were opened, and a person walked out of the city.

The wind god is handsome, cold and proud, and his excellent facial features have not seen any traces of time after being tempered by time, but he has an indescribable bearing.

Bu Qin personally greeted him out of the city gate, and as soon as Xiao An saw him, he jumped down from Zhao Yi's hand, ran towards him, and crashed into Bu Tan's arms:

"Daddy."

Yi'an saw her brother coming down, and she was also making a fuss about going down, but after Han Feng had no choice but to put her down, Yi'an walked to Xi Yunzhi's side, grabbed her hand, and then pulled her to walk in the direction of Bu Qin together.

The family got together under the spotlight of all the people, Bu Qin patted Xiao An on the back and asked him to come down first, and then wiped the small droplets of water on Xi Yunzhi's forehead, gently curled the corners of his mouth, and looked at the people who were waiting on the side.

Bu Qin is ruthless, resolute, and decisive in the army, and he is not merciless when he goes into battle to kill the enemy, but he didn't expect him to have such a warm side.

"Tired?" Bu Qin asked Xi Yunzhi softly.

Xi Yunzhi didn't speak, just shook his head, the two looked at each other for a while, everything was silent, Bu Qin squatted on the □, pinched Yi An's face, and then hugged her in the crook of his arm, stretched out his hand to hold Xi Yunzhi, Xiao An held Xi Yunzhi's other hand, and the family of four walked into the city gate under the gaze of everyone, and sat on another luxurious thirty-two people carrying a sedan chair.

***

The return of Bu Tan has already been predicted for more than two years of war, so the ministers of the DPRK and China have long been psychologically prepared and are roughly divided into three factions.

On the one hand, there is a traitorous party where everyone is in danger, on the other hand, there is a pedantic party that is full of accusations, and on the other hand, there is a party that supports the new monarch who has been tortured by the previous dynasty.

After Bu Qin occupied the capital, he adopted different methods to treat these three party figures.

Supporting the party is naturally rewarded, and no matter what the ability of the officials is, they are all in the ranks of the officials who are promoted to the ranks; When Bu Qin was an official in the court in the past, he had already seen the faces of these people and his henchmen, led by Li You, the left minister and Helian, the prince of Zhenguo, and the traitorous party were all detained by strong means, and when he was busy for a while, he would take care of them; The most headache for Bu Tan is the pedantic party, most of these people are old ministers, pedantic in thought, full of words of benevolence, righteousness and loyalty, and listed Bu Tan as a chaotic minister and thief who plotted to usurp the throne, and would rather die than obey.

Treat these old ministers, Bu Tan can't beat, can't scold, but if he doesn't beat or scold, these people will make trouble for him all day long, and in the end, Bu Tan simply showed a trump card - Xiao Luo killed his father and seized the throne, disloyalty, injustice and filial piety, if such an emperor can make those old ministers swear to follow, then ...... He really had to think about how to place these people.

Sure enough, as soon as the news of Xiao Luo's murder of his father and seizure of the throne came out, it set off a boiling in the government and the opposition, and those who were clamoring for Bu Qin to get out of the capital a few days ago also stopped, and some people originally doubted the authenticity of this matter, but after Bu Qin caught the accomplice of the murder case that year, after the person was punished for national crimes, no one dared to raise any objections.

As long as people with a little brain know, the current situation is not something that they can alleviate by making a fuss, the world's heroes, with the most powerful troops in the hands of Bu Qin, in addition to the original 200,000 soldiers of the Bu family, in addition to Liaoyang, Shanxi, and the capital are all controlled by him.

Xi Yunzhi was arranged in a beautiful, luxurious and exquisite palace, she stood in front of the court, looking at the strange flowers and plants in the courtyard, even if a palace servant came to report, saying that the boss asked her to go to Zhaoqian Palace, there were some things that she wanted her to deal with personally.

Xi Yunzhi thought about it in her mind, and knew what Bu Qin asked her to do.

Zhen and her have a fateful friendship, she once saved Zhen, Zhen once saved her, originally this friendship is precious to the two of them, but unfortunately, they gave birth to the wrong identity, both of their husbands have great ambitions, but between this success and failure, there is a moat between the two, either she can't go to the other side, or she can't come here.

Of course, Xi Yunzhi understood in his heart that in fact, when Bu Qin caught Zhen, he should have killed her with a knife in his hand, and left Zhen not to kill her today, just to take into account her thoughts, this thoughtfulness made Xi Yunzhi very moved.

I followed the palace people to an abandoned cold palace, where the depression is unimaginable, and there can be such a dilapidated place in such a beautiful and magnificent palace.

The guard guarding the door, apparently knowing her, opened the round arch for her, then stepped aside to let her in.

Originally, the guards wanted to follow her in, but Xi Yunzhi stopped them outside: "You can just guard, and I will enter alone." ”

The guard knew that her future identity was noble and extraordinary, so he naturally didn't dare to disobey, so he opened the courtyard door and let Xi Yunzhi walk in.

The scene in the courtyard is not as exaggerated as outside, as if it has been deliberately cleaned up, although the things are very shabby, but at least they are neat.

Zhen walked out of the house, carrying a basin of water and was about to pour it out, when he saw a familiar face appear in the courtyard.

Zhen's body is still wearing her queen clothes, but she has not changed it for many days, it looks a little dirty, the bun on her head has been removed, and only a bun of hair is tied behind her head, which looks a little asymmetrical and ironic compared with the complicated clothes on her body.

Zhen stood under an old acacia with a basin of water, the two looked at each other, Xi Yunzhi took the lead in smiling at her, Zhen reacted at this time, looked down at the water, and looked at the water in the reflection, he was embarrassed, described as withered, and the clothes on his body were also dirty, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed for a while, and no longer looked up to look at Xi Yunzhi.

Xi Yunzhi walked up to her and looked at her for a while before he spoke:

"If you will give up him, I will keep you safe all your life."

Xi Yunzhi's words did not beat around the bush at all, but directly said the important thing, for Bu Qin, the existence of the Zhen family will not have much impact, as long as Xiao Luo is killed, then on the Zhen side, Bu Qin has no reason to kill, and it should not be difficult to survive.

Zhen listened to Xi Yunzhi's words, and was stunned and stunned, then slowly lowered his head and whispered:

"I don't want peace, I just want to be with him, whether it's life or death, it's all together."

Xi Yunzhi sighed deeply, in fact, on the way here, she had already thought that this was the result, and Xi Yunzhi was not completely incomprehensible to Zhen's persistence.

Xiao Luo is a bastard, and Zhen's is also a husband and wife, Zhen's feelings for him are deep, it is because he cares, so Zhen can't stand the harem women competing with her for favor, and they are becoming more and more cruel and cruel, and countless beauties have died in her hands, and all of this is just because of her love, she loves Xiao Luo miserably, and she will become like a jealous woman, like a fighting, fighting people everywhere, until death.

"Xiao Luo...... Surely death. ”

When Xi Yunzhi said this, he actually felt uncomfortable. It's not that she sympathizes with Xiao Luo, but she feels very sorry for Zhen, after all, if she hadn't risked her life to save her, she and Bu Qin would have been trapped in the palace a long time ago, and there would be no chance of a later encounter, and there would be no chance to return to the capital at all.

Now, she has the same position as the Zhen family back then, but she can't protect the Zhen family back then, which makes Xi Yunzhi feel sad, but helpless.

It is precisely because of those experiences that she knows better than anyone that Xiao Luo must not let go!

Zhen listened to Xi Yunzhi's words, and did not show much surprise, but with a posture that he had already accepted his fate, he nodded calmly to Xi Yunzhi, and said:

"Okay, you can do it."

Xi Yunzhi clenched his fists, unable to suppress the trembling all over, and finally asked Zhen, "Do you have any other requirements, I will try my best to meet them." ”

Zhen put the basin on top of the well, took a deep breath, and said to Xi Yunzhi:

"That'...... Please prepare a table of wine and dishes for us, the wine should be the flower carving of Xinghualou, the dishes should be made in the Yanzi Hutong Zhang Er Restaurant, a plate of fried belly shreds with sauerkraut, red braised large intestines, fried celery with lilies, shrimp tofu, fish-flavored eggplant, stir-fried chicken hairy vegetables...... These are the things he often took me to eat when I married him, and although he was a prince at that time, he had no money, so he could only take me to a place like Yanzi Hutong to eat to my heart's content, which was the happiest day of my life. ”

As Zhen spoke, tears fell, Xi Yunzhi also lowered his head, his eyes were moist, and he said calmly:

"Okay, but there's more."

"Don't. That's enough, we can't afford more. ”

Zhen shook his head, said an inexplicable sentence in his mouth, and looked at a certain point in the sky, there was no boundary, and he was intoxicated with the memory of the year.

Xi Yunzhi couldn't bear to disturb her, so she turned around and wanted to leave here, but when she walked to the door, she was stopped by Zhen again:

"I have never figured out one thing in my life, why women have to share love with others, why we can't get a wholehearted love, I don't understand, so I did a lot of wrong things, in just a few years, this palace, there are murders made by me everywhere, they will come to me every day to scream, and my life is not easy."

Xi Yunzhi turned around and glanced at her again, only to see an indescribable clarity in Zhen's eyes, she just looked at Xi Yunzhi with a straight face, as if she saw her shadow in Xi Yunzhi.

"The first lesson to be a queen is patience. If not, there will be endless killing. There is no smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield of women, but it is definitely more tragic than the battlefield of men. Farewell......"

Zhen's last few words were very quiet, and Xi Yunzhi didn't hear them clearly, but from the shape of her mouth, she still understood what she was talking about.

Farewell, my only friend in this life.

Xi Yunzhi returned to the towering red wall with full depression, and the sedan chair without a canopy could make her see the dark sky, just like her mood, without the sun shining, dull.

The author has something to say: There are many things in the world that make people helpless, Zhen's love for Xiao Luo led her to destruction, but who can say that it was her fault?
