Another nobleman was a little surprised and asked, "How come?" Haven't you always been invincible? ”

Zhou Guiren "sneered" and said, "I heard my brother say that there is a great drought in the north, and the people are not able to make a living, and the supply of grain and grass is not enough, and it is not enough to help the victims!" ”

Zhou Guiren's brother is in the military department, and it is normal for her to hear such news. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"No wonder! But I heard that the younger brother of the queen mother also went with the army? The noble man asked.

"Yes! It is estimated that I feel that this expedition is a piece of fat to my mouth, and I want to invite credit, who knows if I can come back! Zhou Guiren lowered his voice and pouted.

Their voices were lowered and gradually inaudible, and the sound of Xuezhao's piano came to the ear drums again, but for the first time, there was a sense of uneasiness and panic in the sound of the piano.

Finally waiting for the flower-viewing banquet to disperse, Xue Zhao returned to Linling Yuan uncertainly, she put the piano in front of the window, and thought about what Lin Xiuyuan's situation would be on the battlefield in the north now.

Will he get hurt, maybe this is the moment when he wants her by his side the most, but she is thousands of miles away.

"Snow Zhao!" A gentle call came, Yun Yi had already entered the courtyard, and when he saw her leaning against the window stunned, he couldn't help but call her with a smile.

She immediately came to her senses and came out of the door to salute him.

No matter how much he emphasized that he didn't have to obey when he saw him, Xue Zhao still behaved like a courtesy every time.

Yun Yi was used to it, he stepped forward to help Xue Zhao up, his eyes were full of smiles, and asked, "Xue Zhao, did you go to the queen mother's flower viewing banquet today?" ”

Xue Zhao nodded.

Yun Yi asked again, "The flowers in the yard of the queen mother are all cultivated by the gardeners in the palace, do you like any of them?" I'll ask them to send you a few pots tomorrow, there are no flowers or plants in your yard, and they look too plain. ”

"Never! Your Highness, the flowers and plants cultivated by the florists are all supplied to the nobles of the inner court, and Xue Zhao, as a musician, must not be surpassed! Xue Zhao hurriedly stopped him.

Yun Yi looked at Xue Zhao and said softly, "Xue Zhao, I don't want you to live in this kind of fear and worry every day, what I can give you, you can accept it with confidence, and leave the rest to me to deal with." ”

Xue Zhao lowered his head when he looked at him, and said, "Your Highness has taken care of Xue Zhao enough, and Xue Zhao doesn't know how to repay Your Highness." ”

Yun Yi suddenly showed a bright smile and said, "Do you really want to repay me, yes, it's actually very simple." ”

"What is it?" Xue Zhao looked at his narrow expression, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart.

"All you have to do is make a promise!" He smiled, but his eyes were serious.

“…… His Royal Highness laughed, Xue Zhao is just a musician, and a person from a music background is looked down upon by the world. Moreover, Xue Zhao never thought about it...... "Xue Zhao wants to explain it to Yun Yi clearly, so that Yun Yi doesn't make fun of her again."

"You are just Yu Xuezhao in my heart, and you are the person I want to protect." Yun Yi looked at her, his eyes were full of genuine tenderness.

"Your Highness, this is not the place where Xue Zhao wants to live, I will have to leave here one day." Her voice was soft, but it blew past his ears like a hurricane.

"You didn't even think about staying, even for me?" His tone was pained and pleading, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Xue Zhao is not worthy of His Highness's thoughts."

Why didn't he understand it yet.

"I won't let you go! You don't want to leave me half a step! He became a little angry, his chest fell together, he glared at her for a moment, and then suddenly turned and walked out.

Xue looked at his back, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart, she wanted to leave this imperial city that did not belong to her, but the goal was not achieved, her wish was not fulfilled, when would she be able to return to his side?

On this day, there was no summoning in the palace, so Xue Zhao came to Wanyan's courtyard, and when she entered the door, she saw the little maid who was waiting for Wanyan standing at the door of the house worriedly, and when she saw Xue Zhao coming, she hurriedly greeted her.

The little maid said anxiously, "Qin waits for the edict, you're here, it's great!" The county lord asked for peace from the queen's mother, and he looked heartbroken, locked himself in the room, and didn't let us go in to serve. ”

Xue Zhao was shocked when she heard this, and a sense of foreboding came to her, and she immediately walked quickly into the house.

Wan Yan sat on the chair in front of the window, the silk handkerchief in her hand kept wiping her eyes, and the tears still couldn't stop falling.

Xue Zhao walked up to her and asked, "Lord Wanyan, what happened?" ”

When Wan Yan heard her voice, she turned around and grabbed her arm, crying, "Xue Zhao, the queen mother chose a family business for me, it is the eldest son of the official department, I can't hide it anymore, so I told the queen mother my heart to Huo Qing, but the queen mother was furious, saying that although Huo Qing is excellent, he is just a musician, and his identity is not worthy of me, and he also reprimanded me for disobeying Yi's will......" Before the words were finished, Wan Yan was already choked up and said, "Xuezhao, what should I do?" ”

Xue Zhao frowned slightly, how much unfair treatment the musicians in the world have suffered because of this music background, and how many cold eyes and mockery they have endured!

She patted her on the back gently, comforted Wan Yan, and asked, "Lord Wan Yan, can you please intercede, just say that the war in the north is tight, so take a break in advance?" ”

Wan Yan lowered her head when she heard this, and said softly, "Xue Zhao, because the prince takes too much care of you, the queen mother is dissatisfied, and she has punished him several times, so Brother Yunyi can't help me with my affairs." ”

Xue Zhao was startled, and her hand that comforted Wan Yan trembled.

Because she was punished several times, but he never told her.

Maybe she should think of a way to solve the plight of these people at the same time, even if it is at the expense of herself.

Xue Zhao was summoned by the inner court several times in a row, and heard the news that the concubines were discussing the news that Qing Yannian's army was trapped in the northern battlefield and could not get out.

It turned out that Qing Yannian's army was stationed under the city, with insufficient food and grass, and the troops were slack, and the thieves saw that the army was large and could not resist, so they closed the city gate and prepared to fight a protracted battle with Qing Yannian's army.

The army traveled far away, it consumed a lot of physical strength, coupled with the lack of food and grass, it was difficult to fight the fortification, and the city was not captured for nearly a month, Ling Yuan, the younger brother of Queen Ling Ru, was a little anxious for quick success, and personally led hundreds of elite soldiers to attack the city rashly, but the army was defeated and captured, but became a hostage held by the thieves, which made Qing Yannian's army in a more passive situation.
