"But the most important and direct reason or bottom line is that no matter what, you can't lower the child with other men, because the throne will be returned to the Li family in the future, otherwise they will definitely be in trouble with the two kings!"

Ying Xuemei's face was a little ugly, but she didn't hesitate to answer: "Then let them have trouble with the two kings!"

Gu Tiefang wiped his sweat again, what else could he say? He had already made the stakes so clear.

But when he got on the thief ship, he had to continue to speak out for himself: "Don't go deep first, just talk about the appearance." If it weren't for Beigong Long's strict management of the army, and Xihuai being the weakest of the three kings, we should not have pacified Xihuai now, and the war in Liaodong, in the final analysis, was also because of the big problems inside Cangfeng, so we were able to see the stitches. ”

"But we are in the position to see things so simply and one-sidedly. The reason why we were able to pacify Xihuai and recover Liaodong is another factor that cannot be ignored - the cooperation of local wealthy clans and the common people. If the people are unwilling to pay for food and accept conscription, how can our food and soldiers come? The Hao clan is even more terrible, and even if the people are willing to pay food and be conscripted, they will block their territory, and we will not be able to do anything effective for them for a while. ”

"The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill! Xuemei! Now every decision you make is not only related to you alone, but also the Eagle family, all the families that are close to the Eagle family, and even the small families and thousands of people who have nothing to do with us!"

Gu Tiefang said as he spoke, his body fell from his seat, he knelt on his knees, and his old tears were crissling: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Ying Xuemei looked at Gu Tiefang blankly, until a quarter of an hour later, she replied in a low voice, "I understand." ”

"The emperor is looking for an old minister to come late at night, is there anything else important?"

"Send some more people to Qingqiu Prefecture, I always have some inexplicable worries about Qingqiu. ”

"The old minister understands. ”

"And send the letter from Gu Xuzhang recently to me. ”

"Eh-the old man hasn't had any correspondence with Gu Xuzhang since that day. ”

Ying Xuemei looked at Gu Tiefang again and shook her head: "It's okay." ”

"Yes, the old man will write to Gu Xuzhang again when he goes back. ”

"No, by the way, there's one more thing—how can we remove the wanted warrant for Brother Feng Qing without causing the courtiers to resent it, or cause the least reaction?"

Speaking of this, Ying Xuemei herself couldn't help but smile bitterly, but she quickly pursed her lips lightly, and muttered in her heart: "This is all Brother Fengqing, you are self-inflicted, who taught you to eat and wipe clean and not recognize people!"

"This-this is actually very simple, the original search for "Luo Daguang" was to cooperate with Sakura, and now that Sakura has found Huyan Qiongmei, "Luo Daguang" was naturally arrested, and he will be executed at noon tomorrow. ”

"Well, I know this method, but won't it cause opposition from the courtiers?"

"Why are they opposed? Your Majesty, you have done nothing wrong. ”

"Okay, I'll make an edict, Grandpa Gu, you go back first. ”

"Yes. ”

......

The moonlight was cold, and the ground was mostly plunged into darkness.

Whoa—

A large pink snake with a bulging belly slowly emerged from the grass and wandered into a circle next to the stone table in the middle of the courtyard.

There is a stone bench on each side of the stone table, and a woman sits on the east and west benches.

Wearing a pink long skirt and a cute face with some baby fat in Huyan Qiongmei, no matter which man sees it, he wants to hug it.

If you can kiss Fangze, it will be even more wonderful.

She propped her chin in both hands and stared blankly at Xiao Fan.

The woman opposite her was dressed in a gray dress, looking to be in her fifties, somewhat similar to Huyan Qiongmei's appearance, and a pair of eyes that had been on Huyan Qiongmei's face were full of worry and love.

The woman stretched out her hand and gently pulled a few strands of hair on Huyan Qiongmei's forehead behind her ears: "It seems that my daughter has grown up." ”

Huyan Qiongmei's cheeks gradually burst into red, and she slowly turned her head. The intellectual smile on the middle-aged woman's face immediately panicked, and she hurriedly got up and took out a handkerchief from her arms, hugging Huyan Qiongmei tightly: "What's the matter? Who bullied my baby daughter? Tell my mother that even if my mother can't leave Xijing, she must let people trouble him." ”

"Mother—woo-"

Huyan Qiongmei shouted heartbreakingly, hugged Zuoqiu Yulian's waist, buried her head in Zuoqiu Yulian's waist, and cried helplessly.

Zuoqiu Yulian listened to her daughter's grief-stricken cry, only to feel that the sadness of being under house arrest for so long quickly came up. I know I shouldn't cry at this time, but I can't control myself.

"Woo-Qiongmei-"

The mother and daughter slept opposite each other with red eyes, and Zuoqiu Yulian gently scratched the corners of Huyan Qiongmei's red eyes: "Tell mother, which little bastard made my baby daughter so sad." ”

Zuoqiu Yulian said lightly, and her heart was unconsciously nervous. She understands her daughter's temperament very well, if she really meets a man she likes, she should always follow that man.

She hopes that her daughter will be happy, but now not only her life, but everything of many people in the Huyan family is also related to Huyan Qiongmei's marriage.

At this time, Huyan Qiongmei came back, so it is very likely that something happened to that man, and then I thought of Si Kou Haomiao when he left Xijing for a long time, without waiting for Huyan Qiongmei to speak, he picked up his own words: "If he is still alive, he must hope that you will always be happy, so——"

"Mother, what do you say, he's not dead yet. ”

"Huh?!"

"I came back with Si Kou Haomiao by myself. ”

"Why?"

Seeing that Huyan Qiongmei's eyes were red and there was a thick hatred, Zuoqiu Yulian's eyes widened, and although her voice was lower, there was more emotion in it: "He-he put you-"

"Hmm!"

"He—how could he do that! He had promised before me and your father that he would never do anything to you until you married him!"

Huyan Qiongmei pursed her lips: "I don't want to talk about him!"

"Okay, let's not talk about that disciple!"

Seeing that Huyan Qiongmei's eyes were more and more red, and her lips were about to be bitten and she was still straining, Zuoqiu Yulian didn't know where she had said the wrong thing, and her mind turned to think of a way to divert Huyan Qiongmei's attention: "Does he know?"

"Woo - he didn't know anything, I woke up and got out of there. ”

Remembering that on the last night and day in Guangwu, she left Guangwu like that, and she didn't even see the last side of Yang Fengqing, and it was no longer possible to meet her in this life, Huyan Qiongmei tried to suppress her crying, and her body trembled because she was too sad.

Seeing that her daughter was so sad and sad, Zuoqiu Yulian's eyes also turned red again: "How can you do this? ”

"Woo-I don't have the face to see him. ”

"You stupid boy—alas—"

"If he finds the words I left for him, he will know that I have returned to Sakurawa. ”

"Didn't he chase him?"

"No, woo-"

Although she left words, Yang Fengqing really didn't chase after her, which still made her even more sad.

And what happened that night, she still can't figure it out.

In particular, she obviously slept in the same bed with Yang Fengqing, why was she arrested, but Yang Fengqing was not arrested? Where did Yang Fengqing go at that time? Later, she didn't know whether he went to look for them.

"Maybe he's got something to do with it. ”

"He said he was going to mourn his grandmother. ”

"The dead are great, don't think so much about it. ”

"But I don't know exactly what day his grandmother was mourned, and why did he let me be caught?

Hearing this, Zuoqiu Yulian suddenly became a little angry. Her daughter slept in the same bed with the guy, and her daughter was caught by someone else, and the man didn't have anything to do.

"This- Qiongmei, how could you fall in love with such a man?"

Huyan Qiongmei saw that Zuoqiu Yulian was angry with Yang Fengqing, and her sadness suddenly disappeared, and a lot of worries appeared in her heart: "No, mother, you listen to my explanation, he should have gone out to do something while I was asleep, and blamed me for being too clingy to him, even if I sleep, I have to hold him when I sleep." ”

"You—alas—what's his name? If you can get into your eyes, you can't be a nameless boy, right?"

"Luo Daguang. ”

Zuoqiu Yulian raised her eyebrows and said suspiciously: "Hmm, why is this name so familiar, am I—uh—the person who hurt your eye the man named Luo Daguang?"

Huyan Qiongmei blushed and nodded, "It's him." ”

"Ahem-you-aren't you going to kill him, how can you like him?"

"Because he's really powerful and gentle. By the way, his real name is Yang Fengqing, that is, the grandson of Yang Dingtian, the old man of the Yang family whom his father respects the most. ”

Zuoqiu Yulian: "......"

"Wait a minute, let me brush it up first. If I'm not mistaken, the Yang family is even worse than our Huyan family, and now there is no one in the Zong family. His grandson, Yang Fengqing, disappeared five years ago and was pronounced dead by Mr. Yang himself shortly after. Are you sure he's Yang Fengqing?"

"Mother, why don't you believe me? Is your daughter's vision so bad? And I also saw him and Ying Xuemei hugging each other, and then being stabbed by Ying Xuemei. Anyway, if Ying Xuemei hadn't stabbed him, I wouldn't have been able to catch him. ”

"Uh-I heard that Ying Xuemei has become the empress of Guangwu?"

"Well, mother, you know that Ying Xuemei and Yang Fengqing are childhood sweethearts, right?"

"I know, isn't this even more wrong? If he is Yang Fengqing, why did Ying Xuemei stab him?"

"It's- I didn't ask, he didn't tell me. ”

Zuoqiu Yulian held her forehead with her right hand, she felt that her stupid daughter had been deceived. Thinking about it this way, in the end, it was a good ending for everyone to cook raw rice with Si Kou Haomiao.

Huyan Qiongmei knew what her mother was thinking when she saw Zuoqiu Yulian's expression, and jumped out of the quilt: "Mother, why don't you believe me? ”

"How many people follow him?"

"Three people!"

Zuoqiu Yulian's head was full of black crows, and unconsciously, there was no sadness, and she smiled bitterly: "It's all over, don't think about it anymore." ”

"No, mother, listen to me, before I caught him, more than a thousand dead soldiers died in order to get rid of him!"

"Huh?"

"He's Yang Fengqing! He's not dead yet! By the way, isn't there a place called Beilin on Tianxiong Island where my father is here? That place was captured by his army. ”

"Uh- you've jumped too far to be able to react. Isn't he in Guangwu? Why did he lead the army to capture Beilin again?"

"Alas—don't say it, ahhh

Huyan Qiongmei grabbed Zuoqiu Yulian's shoulders with both hands and shook it vigorously.

"Haha-"

When the noise stopped, Huyan Qiongmei and Zuoqiu Yulian each closed their eyes and rested.

"Mother, I am so unwilling, I worked so hard to have a place in his heart. ”

"Fate arises, and fate is gone. If you are still destined for him, you will meet again in the future, and if you are already destined for him, you will miss everything now. ”

"Why?"

Huyan Qiongmei opened her eyes and turned sideways to look at Zuoqiu Yulian.

In fact, the most sad thing in this world is not life and death, but the ignorance of one's own changes. When we finally know that we have changed, there is nothing to go back. Just like you are now—sometimes you must have thought about how good it would be if you could forget Yang Fengqing, and slowly, as time passed, in the torment of memories, you finally got through it. One day, you suddenly look back and realize that you have loved someone so deeply at this moment, but you have no feelings for him at that time, and you will feel extremely sad. And that sadness, you don't even know why. ”

Huyan Qiongmeiza blinked her eyes and looked confused: "Mother, what are you talking about?"

"Sleep, tomorrow morning I will take you to the temple to pray for the blessings of our loved ones. ”

"Hmm. ”
