In the ninth year of Jianwu (33 AD), Liu Xiu collected grain and grass, mobilized the army, and prepared for the third western expedition. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, Kui Huan, who moved to Yicheng, learned of the imminent spy news of the Han soldiers, and was worried, lost Hexi Dourong, lacked military supplies, and fought with the Han soldiers and retreated, and abandoned the baggage. There are many people in Yicheng and little food, the food supply is insufficient, there is morning food but no dinner, Kui Huan is depressed and sick, the more he thinks about it, the more he hates, and finally dies of grief and anger.

After the death of Kui Huan, Wang Yuan and Zhou Zong immediately established Kui Huan's second son Kui Chun as the king, and the general army was based on Yicheng, and then begged for help from Gongsun Shu Na Yuan.

Gongsun Shu resent the generals Tian Yi and Zhao Kuang to lead the troops to Yicheng to aid Kui Chun.

In April, Liu Xiu ordered Feng Yi to go to Tianshui to guard the affairs and lead the army to attack Yicheng. However, because Kui Chun has the support of Gongsun Shu, he is very firm. Feng Yi couldn't take it for months.

At this time, the arrival of Liutun Chang'an wrote to Liu Xiu, saying: Gongsun Shu takes Longxi and Tianshui as a cover, so he has to prolong his life and rest on leave. Now the two counties are flat, and the wisdom is poor. It is advisable to select soldiers and horses and accumulate resources and grain. In the past, Zhao's generals were handsome and multi-jas, and Emperor Gao announced that he was rewarded. Today's Xizhou is newly broken, and the soldiers are tired, if they recruit the valley of wealth, then they can be gathered. The minister knows that what the state gives is not one, and the use is insufficient, but there is a last resort.

Liu Xiu read the book, thought it was reasonable, and immediately ordered Si Jigu, and then summoned Lai She and Ma Yuan.

When Lai Xi and Ma Yuan came to answer the edict, Yin Lihua was assisting Liu Xiu in sorting out the recitals. After they met the courtesy, Liu Xiu discussed strategic matters with them in front of Yin Lihua. They all had their own thoughts on it, but none of them showed it on their faces.

As soon as the discussion was over, Wan Fu came to report: Guo Guo has something important to report.

When Yin Lihua heard this, she left with Lai She and Ma Yuan.

Lai Xi finally saw Yin Lihua again, and it was rare to have such a private relationship with Yin Lihua once, but there was more Ma Yuan. The first time I saw my friend Ma Yuan, I was a little unpleasant.

And Ma Yuan didn't notice his thoughts, he was happy about this opportunity, and he said to Yin Lihua: "Yin nobles, please stay." ”

Yin Lihua stopped, turned around, looked at Ma Yuan, and asked, "I don't know what happened to General Ma?" ”

Ma Yuan said to Yin Lihua: "In the past, Mrs. Weichen was stationed in the palace by the grace of the saint, and the queen and nobles took care of her, and Weichen was grateful. However, Mrs. Weichen's behavior 1 has never been very safe, and if there is any offense, please forgive me. Weichen is fortunate to have His Majesty's credit today, and it is difficult to repay the grace of God in death, but he can only bow to His Majesty and die. ”

Although Ma Yuan's words were a little incompatible, Yin Lihua understood. Ma Lin must have told Ma Yuan about all the things in the palace after returning home, Ma Yuan's words were to thank her for her kindness to Ma Lin's mother and daughter in the past, the second was to apologize for Ma Lin's past mistakes, and the third was to show her his heart - he Ma Yuan was only loyal to Liu Xiu, and the implication was that he Ma Yuan would not be a person of the Yin family, nor would he be a person of the Guo family. Yin Lihua hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, and said to Ma Yuan: "The general is loyal to His Majesty, which is really respectable. As for the past, it is no longer worth mentioning, and the general will only be loyal and conscientious in the future. However, everything in the world has a cause and effect, and the general and his wife should also be self-conscious, and they can think twice about everything. ”

Ma Yuan is a smart man, and he understands the meaning of Yin Lihua's words, and he immediately replied: "Weichen must remember what the nobleman said, and live up to the expectations of the nobleman and His Majesty." ”

Yin Lihua smiled slightly at this and said nothing.

Ma Yuan but the heart, but the heart is relieved, the two years of anxiety suddenly disappeared, in order to avoid the future involvement, he did not want to talk to Yin Lihua more, so he asked to leave: "In this way, Rong Weichen and General Lai will retire first." ”

Yin Lihua responded: "General Ma can leave first, and I'm afraid that the general will have to stay for a while." Before His Majesty left, he had another order to the general and asked the noble man to convey it. ”

When he left, Liu Xiu did whisper to Yin Lihua for a while, and Ma Yuan also saw this, so he didn't doubt what Yin Lihua said, and respectfully retreated.

When he came to see this, although he was happy in his heart, after Ma Yuan left, he didn't forget to ask Yin Lihua: "I don't know what Your Majesty still has orders?" ”

Yin Lihua smiled: "That's just perfunctory, you don't have to take it seriously when you come to the general." ”

When he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, no matter what Yin Lihua's intentions were, he was willing to do it, and he only hoped that time 1 would not be so short.

Yin Lihua saw a faint smile on Lai She's face, and couldn't help but smile, she said to Lai She: "For a long time, the second brother of the concubine must be in trouble with the general. ”

At this time, Lai Xi didn't know that Yin Xing had already told Yin Lihua, so he asked: "Why did the noble man say this?" ”

Yin Lihua smiled and said, "The general may not know something, the second brother of the concubine has always been interested in scriptures, and he has no habit of collecting them in the past. Although the second brother was entrusted by the concubine, if there was no help from the concubine, he would not have obtained it so smoothly. One day, the concubine asked curiously, only to know that everything was the general's work, and the concubine was grateful. I have always wanted to thank the general, but I have no good opportunity. Today, I am fortunate to take this opportunity to express my gratitude. ”

Lai Xizi disagreed, he said: "In this way, we should also express our gratitude to the nobles, the nobles in the past with the gift of scriptures, won the favor of the micro-ministers, and the micro-ministers are grateful." ”

Yin Lihua didn't expect Lai Xi to say this, and said with a dumb smile: "In this way, the concubine and the general are just courtesy." What does the general think? ”

Lai Shu said, "Exactly." There was a hint of seriousness in his gentle expression.

Yin Lihua wanted to talk to Laishen, but unfortunately the place was wrong, she sighed and said, "If it weren't for the fact that this is not a place to talk, the concubine would like to talk to the general." ”

Lai Xi also feels this way, even if he is reluctant, it is time for him to leave. He said to Yin Lihua: "The coming day is long, and there will always be a good day." While these words comforted Yin Lihua, he was not comforting himself. It's a pity that I don't know that this time is a time of death.

Yin Lihua said with a smile: "What the general said is very true. ”

With reluctance, Lai Xi pretended to be calm and said: "Wechen will retire here." As he spoke, he took a few steps back, and then Huo Ran turned to leave, but his pace didn't seem to be as brisk as before.

Yin Lihua also turned around and left before she had gone far.

The next day, Lai Hui was appointed as the supervisor of the army, Ma Yuan was the deputy, commanding five generals including Geng Yi, Gai Yan, Ma Cheng and Liu Shang, escorting 60,000 grains to Huangcheng, converging with Feng Yi and attacking Tianshui together.

In this year, due to the turmoil in Yingchuan and Hedong counties, which were adjacent to the imperial capital Luoyang, rebels and thieves arose, and Xinye Yinfu was unfortunately killed. Yin Deng and Yin Xin were kidnapped by thieves and killed by thieves when they were captured by the government.

When the bad news came, Yin Lihua was grief-stricken and fainted for a while.

Although Liu Xiu was surprised by this, she was still heartbroken and kept by Yin Lihua's side.

The first time Yin Lihua woke up was to find Yin Consciousness and Yin Xing.

Yin Zhi and Yin Xing were about to leave the palace and return to Xinye, and Wen Zhao soon came to Yin Lihua.

Yin Lihua saw Yin Zhi and Yin Xing, and asked urgently: "Big brother, second brother, what Uncle Wen said is not true, but?" When you know that the thieves are everywhere, you will send additional guards to your mother and younger brother, how can the thieves succeed, so what Uncle Wen said must not be true. The glimmer of hope held in Yin Lihua's heart was completely shattered with the increasingly sad look on Yin Zhi and Yin Xing's face.

Yin Zhi and Yin Xing were speechless with grief.

After being silent for a while, Yin Lihua couldn't help but tearfully said to Liu Xiu: "Uncle Wen, the concubine wants to go back with her brothers to see her mother for the last time." ”

Glancing at Yin Lihua's high bulging abdomen, Liu Xiu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded to Yin Lihua.

Yin Lihua got Liu Xiu's permission, and immediately asked Qingyu to pack her things, and then got up to change her clothes.

However, the shock abruptly changed.

"The nobleman quickly lie back." Mama Liu was so panicked. Just when everyone didn't understand what was going on, they only heard Mama Liu tell Qingyu: "Hurry up and summon the imperial doctor." ”

Yin Lihua didn't know what was going on, so Mama Liu rarely showed a dignified look. When she was about to tell Mama Liu that she was fine, Mama Liu took the lead to tell her the truth.

"Noble, you have a miscarriage, don't be too sad, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable." Mama Liu said as she helped Yin Lihua back to the bed.

When Yin Lihua heard this, her hands suddenly put on her bulging abdomen, and she was frightened, she thought it was just a slight discomfort, and it was not a big deal, so she didn't take it seriously, she didn't think it was so serious. She knew very well that Mama Liu would not make something out of nothing, so she was anxious to help Mama Liu back.

Liu Xiu, Yin Zhi and Yin Xing were all shocked when they heard what Mama Liu said, and they were even more shocked when they saw the red at the hem of Yin Lihua's lower skirt.

Dendrobium wood came soon, after diagnosis, as Mama Liu said, Yin Lihua has a miscarriage this time, and she can't be too sad, otherwise it is very likely that there will be two lives in one corpse, and it is better to rest quietly.

In this way, Yin Lihua can't go back to Xinye with Yin Zhi and Yin Xing. watched Yin Zhi and Yin Xing leave in a hurry, silently crying.

After Yin Lihua took the fetal pill and lay down, Liu Xiufang led Dendrobium to leave.

Before leaving the West Palace, Dendrobium Mu told Liu Xiu privately that Yin Lihua's injury was not all caused by grief, and she also took something that hurt the fetus.

When Liu Xiu heard this, his face was not good-looking, and his deep eyes were vague. After he waved away the wood dendrobium, he asked Wanfu to quietly inform Mama Liu, and assisted Mama Liu to find out who harmed Yin Lihua.
