On the Daqing Palace, the emperor set up an altar outside the palace gate with hundreds of officials, sacrificed to heaven and earth, prayed for the blessing of the gods, expelled foreign enemies, and returned victorious. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Morale-boosting and uplifting. The time has passed, and the officers and men of the whole army, with the support of the people, are marching towards the Daliang Gate.

After three gun salutes, the pennant flies, the armor shines, and the walk is clean. This is the army that Zhou Guoguo is most proud of, and they take their lives and blood to the battlefield. Whether they went voluntarily or forced, when they arrived on the battlefield, they had only one belief: to fight bravely to kill the enemy. For yourself, for your family, for your country, and for fame.

After the hundred officials knelt and said goodbye, they naturally returned to their posts and did whatever they had to do. The emperor is gone, life is easier, but things have to be more cautious, who knows who the emperor will send to secretly supervise them.

At noon, Master Ji Zhongshu, who was dealing with government affairs, received a letter from a servant, which was written by his second son Ji Zhongting. The letter wrote: Father, son, forgive your son and say goodbye. The son is already an adult, although he has read thousands of books in brocade clothes and wealth, but there is no way out, it is just talk on paper. Now the foreign country invaded my Zhou country and killed the people of my Zhou country, since the son is the people of the Zhou country, he should protect his family and defend the country, and he shows the blood of the man. The child can't be filial piety, it's not filial piety, and when the Zhou State wins, it will be the day when the child returns. Cherish, don't read it. Ji Zhongting's own handwriting.

After Ji Gangyang read the letter, his eyes were dizzy and he almost couldn't breathe. Hurriedly threw down what he was doing and returned home. But I saw that except for the second son's biological mother Xu, who was crying and crying in the hall, the others had no expression, drinking tea when they should be drinking, and chatting when they should chat.

Ji Gangyang walked up to Xu's side and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Seeing that he was the pillar of the family, Xu couldn't help crying loudly. She's really sad, that's her son, can she come back if she runs to that battlefield? "Master, what can we do in the court?"

Yuan said impatiently: "Okay, why are you crying, what are you crying about?" "It's not her son who went anyway.

"What the hell is going on?" Ji Gangyang is also impatient, and women will only cry.

Xu Shi suppressed his crying and choked up: "This morning, people knocked on his door, but he shouldn't, I thought he was too late and tired from reading last night, so I didn't wake him up." But by noon he still didn't get up, and I thought he was sick, so I pushed the door in, and who knows...... Whining...... He was gone, leaving only a letter...... Whining...... What is our family doing, doesn't he know where the battlefield is? That's going to kill you! ”

"Alright." The old lady shouted. Originally, last night's events were enough to upset her, she hadn't slept all night, and she had just squinted her eyes, and now when she came out again, her heart was even more annoying. "It's useless for you to cry, people are already far away. Even if you catch up with him now, there's no way he'll come back. He has already gone to register, and there must already be a stub of his name from the military department, and now that he has left the army, he is a deserter, and he is going to be exiled. ”

"Master, what should I do then?" She is such a son, and she has to rely on this son for the rest of her life!

Ji Gangyang sat down with a headache, there is no one in this house who is worry-free. "Mother is right, and now I can only pray that Ting'er can be safe and return victorious."

"This is the son of our Ji family, brave and courageous. Not only do we have to stand firm in the court, but we also have the ability to fight bravely on the battlefield. The old lady said solemnly.

Xu was sarcastic in his heart, so why didn't he let Yuan's son go to the battlefield, who would he say now that he didn't have it?

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Okay, after crying all morning, you can go back and rest!" People are gone, he just can't come back, that's his life, and it's your life. If you have the kung fu to cry here, it is better to go back and burn more incense to bless him with safety. ”

Xu felt that the old lady was also reasonable, and she wanted to go back and burn more incense to pray for her son's safety. So he choked and retreated. After the Xu family left, the old lady retreated again, and then said in a deep voice: "There is news from the palace, she is still alive." ”

When Yuan Shi heard this, he said angrily: "He is still alive, what is that person eating?" ”

"It was said that the shot was missed, and it didn't hit the point, if I could wake up at noon today, my life would be saved."

"Even if she survives, it is estimated that the Queen Mother will not let her go."

The old lady shook her head, "The queen mother is the most inconvenient to come forward, if the emperor knows, then their mother-son relationship is over." And the emperor looked very closely, the Jade Immortal Palace not only had the Yulin Army guarded for twelve hours, but even the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace had changed most of them, and the entrances used were all handled by the imperial doctor himself, and let people try it first, and let her use it only after it was okay. ”

"I didn't expect the emperor to be so affectionate to her." Ji Gangyang sighed.

The Yuan clan doesn't like to hear this, if the emperor is too good to Ji Moyu, then what about her jade? "Not necessarily, the emperor may want to find out the real culprit behind the scenes through this matter."

Ji Gangyang said in a deep voice: "Then it's even more troublesome." However, the emperor's most trusted Yetian has already gone out with the army, this incident happened in the harem, and the queen mother will take the initiative, in this case, there may be a turnaround. ”

"Then tomorrow Jade and I will go to find out what the Queen Mother means in the name of asking for peace?"

"Let's wait a while! It's been too dazzling to go these two days. After all, Concubine Li was assassinated, and there was no news in the palace, so we can't make people suspicious. ”

The old lady nodded and said, "You're right, the Queen Mother is a smart person, whether the Jade Immortal Palace should stay or not depends on the Queen Mother's meaning." ”

Yuan's heart was shocked, could it be that the Queen Mother still wanted to keep Ji Moyu's life? That's not good, she still wants to be the queen's mother! She still wants to show off in front of those noble ladies!

At noon, in the Jade Immortal Palace.

Mo Yu woke up in pain. The pain in her heart reminded her of the earth-shattering assassination last night, the moment the arrow pierced her heart, and she thought she would never wake up. But now, she really felt alive. In front of the bed, there are Concubine De, Concubine Shu, Yunshang, Xiangrong, Biyue, Tian'er, and some imperial doctors.

She wanted to crack her mouth and smile and tell them not to worry, she was fine. But when her mouth opened, her throat would tear and pain, causing her to breathe rapidly, and the wound on her chest also hurt.

wanted to see her like this, and said worriedly: "Niangniang, don't move, what you want to say, you tell me." Are you hungry, I'll get you something to eat. ”

Mo Yu thought to herself that if something happened to her this time, she must have frightened this little girl! Seeing that she was so anxious, I wanted to say something to comfort her, but as soon as I opened my mouth, my throat stinged like a dry burn, and I simply said one word, water.

Sure enough, as soon as the little girl heard Moyu say that she wanted to drink water, she hurriedly ran to the table and poured a glass of water, and slowly fed her with a small spoon. After repeating it several times, Moyu exhausted all her physical strength, felt that her body was very tired again, so she simply tilted her head and fell asleep again.

"Mother? Imperial Doctor, come and see my mother, she fainted again. Xiang Rong shouted.

The imperial doctor walked to the bedside, took Mo Yu's hand to take the pulse, and after a while, he relaxed his face slightly, and said, "I finally got through, this girl, don't worry, Niangniang is just too tired to sleep." You can go and boil some porridge, and when the mother wakes up, give her a drink, and the old minister will go to boil the medicine. ”

"Imperial Doctor, I'll go with you!" Yunshang said.

"Okay, that's the tired girl." The imperial doctor nodded, anyway, he was very tired from last night until now, and it was good to have someone to help. Moreover, there is a person who has more eyes by his side, so that when something happens, he still says that he did it!

Xiang Rong stood up and said to Tian Er and Biyue beside him: "You guys take care of Niangniang, don't take a nap." ”

"Don't worry, we won't have to say we'll do the same." Biyue replied.

In the harem, each palace has its own kitchenette. Yunshang came to the kitchen with Xiangrong and the imperial doctor. There are also some palace maids and eunuchs boiling water and cooking. I thought about the rice, put it in an urn, and steam it over a fire. Yunshang sat on the small pier, holding the fan in her hand and fanning it for a while.

Xiang Rong walked over and said to the imperial doctor who was boiling medicine: "Imperial Doctor, you have worked hard all night, this kitchen is very hot, you take a stool and take a nap outside, there are two of us watching here." ”

The imperial doctor thought about it, and then smiled: "Then you have to watch carefully, this medicine must be boiled until there is only a bowl of water left." ”

"Got it, I'll call the adults in when I'm done."

"Okay, then I'll go outside and have a look."

"Hmm."

After the imperial doctor left, Xiang Rong also took a stool, sat down beside Yunsheng, and quietly looked at the steaming clay pot, the slowly steaming heat covered her face, and her face could not be seen clearly.

Yun Sheng intentionally or unintentionally picked up the firewood and said leisurely: "Do you have something to say to me?" ”

Xiang Rong thought for a while, what should I say? I seem to have a lot of words in my heart, but I don't know where to speak. "Yunshang, how long have you been serving Niangniang?"

Only subordinates will serve their masters, but Moyu has never treated them as human beings. Yunshang's heart was cold, and then he said, "It's been ten years!" Since I followed my mother to the mountains, it has been ten years now. ”

"Ten years, that's long, I've only had five years. I remember when I first went up the mountain, my mother gave me the feeling of cold. She was cold, she didn't talk, she didn't laugh, she would only stay in her room every day, reading and playing the piano. Yegongzi told me that in fact, the mother has that kind of character because she has no freedom. Later, Niangniang often went down the mountain and often went around to play, she became cheerful, she often laughed, often shook her head, and showed a helpless look. At that time, I knew what it means to look back and smile, charm all living beings, and captivate the country and the city. ”

Yunsheng's pincer hand remained motionless, and he sat like that, as if he had gone out of his body.

Xiang Rong ignored her and asked, "Yunshang, have you noticed that after Niangniang entered the palace, her smile became less." Sometimes she was laughing, but the smile seemed fake. ”

In this palace, a woman who can smile sincerely is still happy. Even if you don't want to, you have to laugh with a fake smile. Yunshang muttered, "Niangniang...... It's pathetic. ”

"Yes, can a woman's best youth be confined in the isolated mountains and forests? Fortunately, Niangniang is a strong character, I remember that when she was learning martial arts, she was always injured on her body, and she didn't shout, the last time Concubine De framed her, she knelt so much that her knees were broken, and she didn't shout. But last night she cried out, and when she was unconscious, she cried out several times, and when the arrow was pulled out, she fainted in pain. ”

Yunshang's pincer hand shook, and he pretended to be casual and carried the firewood. The crockpot on the stove was pushed by the steam, and the lid "rattled". "Fortunately, the mother's blessing lasted and she escaped this catastrophe."

Xiang Rong turned his head to look at Yunshang and said, "Yunshang, I remember that you can also do martial arts, right?" Why didn't you block the arrow for her when it came to her mother? ”

Yunshang turned her head to look at Xiang Rong in surprise, and secretly said Did this little girl know something? If she knew something, shouldn't she ...... The hand holding the pliers in his hand couldn't help but clench, and the open pliers seemed to be able to pierce the throat of the person in front of him at once.

But seeing Xiang Rong looking at her with big black and innocent eyes, he said, "If it were me, I would rush forward without hesitation, so I don't want my mother to be hurt in any way." ”

"The scene was chaotic, with both the Feather Army and the Assassins mixed up. The night boy opened the way in front, and Niangniang and I followed. The assassin wanted to kill the emperor, and it was the mother who blocked the arrow for the emperor. ”

"Really? But last night, I overheard the Night Boy and the Emperor saying that the target of the assassins was originally our mother. Yunshang, when the mother ran over to block the arrows for the emperor, why didn't you run over to block the arrows for the mother? ”

"Miss's martial arts skills are higher than mine, and when the arrow comes in, I don't know at all, and by the time I react, it's too late."

Is it? In the entire hall, Yetian, the emperor and the concubine are martial arts, and they will be fine. In order to hide their skills, Niangniang and Yunshang can not make a move, but they will definitely be able to hide. The Queen Mother doesn't know martial arts, but she doesn't have anything. Since he is an assassin, he must be a first-class master, how can he miss, unless Niangniang reacts quickly, she is not injured to the point.

If she knows martial arts, and sees Niangniang running over to block the emperor's arrows, she won't care if she will expose her martial arts, and she will definitely fly over to protect Niangniang, not because she is too late to do something perfunctory. "Really? You must have been terrified of the scene at that time! We've fought some hooligans before, but we really haven't encountered assassins. ”

Yunshang originally wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he joked: "It's really thrilling, fortunately you weren't there at the time, otherwise you would definitely faint." ”

"Also, whoever made us all slaves and maids has always been bold. It would be nice if I could get rid of this slave status. ”

"Really?" Yunshang's heart sank, and her consciousness was gradually blurred. The pliers in his hand are also slowly raised, waiting for the master to wave and play the value of the other side.

At this moment, the kitchen door was pushed open from the outside, and Biyue ran in and said happily: "Niangniang woke up and said she was hungry." ”

Yunshang was struck by the sound of the door opening, came back to her senses, and when she saw the pliers in her hand, she was shocked and hurriedly threw it aside. Seeing her like this, Biyue wondered, "Yunshang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"No, it's nothing, I was careless just now, and it burned my hands."

"Oh, be careful, then." Biyue frowned, puzzled why Yunsheng, who had always been calm, was so panicked. But she didn't think much about it, walked to the stove, looked at Xiang Rongsheng porridge, and said with a smile: "Oh, hurry up, Niangniang is in a hurry." ”

Xiang Rong said while holding the lid of the pot to cover the rest of the porridge: "Don't rush, aren't you busy?" All right. But seeing that Biyue didn't care about her, she left with the tray of porridge, so she hurried over. Hey, the porridge is mine, I'm going to bring it myself. ”

"Don't argue, it's the same for everyone."

If she wants to tolerate it, she has to bring it to the master herself. "No, I'll do it myself."

"Well, okay, okay, then you can do it yourself, hurry up."

Yunshang looked at their figures getting farther and farther away, looking dumbfounded. What's wrong with her, she actually had that kind of mind just now, could it be that if she has a beginning, she can't turn back and can't stop it?

Looking at his hands, the palms were already blood-red, the color of blood. She shook her head in panic, she didn't want to be such a person, she didn't want to go down this road of no return. She looked around the kitchen and saw a bucket of water in the corner, so she hurried over and put her hand into the water, scrubbing it back and forth, as if the harder she rubbed it, the more it washed away the blood from her hands. It wasn't until her hands were rubbed red that she was relieved to get up. But he was frightened by the person who appeared outside the window and took a few steps back.

The person standing outside the window was Grandpa An next to the Queen Mother.
