"Sister." Fu Ang was waiting at the gate of the palace, and when he saw me coming on horseback, he walked a few steps quickly to meet me, and I dismounted beside him, but he pulled me aside in a panic, and looked around in a hurry. "Sister, have you heard?"

"What's wrong?" I don't understand. "You are like this now, where is there still a little bit of what an emperor should be."

"Oops." Fu Ang interrupted me angrily, very impatient, "None of this matters. Sister, do you know who entered the palace today? ”

"Huangfu Xuan?" Although I don't know why he is in such a hurry, but I almost guessed seventy or eighty percent, the person I just saw on the street last night, the dignified Nancheng monarch entered my Dongfu, nothing more than invited by the Queen Mother, came to congratulate the birthday, but the Huangfu announced this time was very unexpected to me, I thought that the friendship between Dongfu and Nancheng, as early as when I asked Nancheng to borrow troops failed to end, even if Nancheng was invited by the Empress Dowager Dongfu, it was almost the same as sending envoys to come.

"You know?!" Fuon was shocked.

"This is Dongfu, the owner of this palace is you, why did you hide out with your subordinates because of the arrival of an uninvited guest." Fu Ang is still young, although he has been on the throne for five years, but he has never really been in power, and he still seems a little unstable for some things.

"Sister, Huangfu Xuan is there with the Queen Mother now, you hide first, wait a minute, I'll go and tell the Queen Mother, Sister, you're sick, and then"

"If he really came to me and heard that I was sick, he could have come to see me. Where should I go to hide then? "Fu Ang doesn't know, I have already seen Huangfu Xuan last night." Let's go, the person who comes is a guest, and the young emperor of Dongfu should do his landlord's friendship, so as not to let us be disgraced as courtiers. ”

Fu Ang immediately frowned.

I don't understand where his hostile love for Huang Fu Xuan came from, but this kind of love makes me feel unexpectedly in a good mood, I don't like Huang Fu Xuan, but I don't hate him either.

What happened back then, in fact, he didn't do anything wrong, although I turned to him for help, but at that time, Dongfu was invincible to Beishao's strong attack was true, seeing that Dongfu would suffer the disaster of destroying the country, he didn't need to be in this troubled water, as the king of a country, it was right to protect his country, and he was involved in the war between Dongfu and Beishao, and he Nancheng may not be peaceful. And I had already figured these things out when I was a hostage in Shao Palace.

"Minister, Zhaohua County Lord Fuyin see the Queen Mother, Niangniang Chitose." Fu Ang stood aside as soon as he entered the door, and I half-knelt in front of the Queen Mother and greeted him respectfully.

Huangfu Xuan sat on the side at this moment, and when he saw me coming, he just nodded with a smile.

"Fuyin is coming, please get up quickly." Today, the Queen Mother was very kind, and she actually came to help me up, this is the first time in history, I still remember the first time I met her, she was an extremely sharp gaze, as if she wanted to peel me alive, probably from that time, she had drawn a line and regarded me as an aggressor in her sphere of power.

I was helped to stand up by her, and she pulled me to sit down beside her, and said to Huangfu Xuan in a particularly fond manner, "Hey, Fuyin, this child has experienced a lot of unfortunate things, although her father made mistakes, but the emperor's favor for Fuyin has never been reduced because of her father's sins." She was very sensible when she was young, and among the descendants of the Fu family outside the palace, the mourning family especially loved her. ”

I probably already figured it out in my heart.

Huangfu Xuan looked at the Queen Mother, and after listening to her say this, he looked at me again.

Fu Ang deliberately interjected, but the Queen Mother turned her head and glared at her viciously, and she froze there as if she was angry.

"County Lord, we just met last night, I didn't expect to meet again so soon, maybe there is still fate between us, maybe there is still a fate." Huangfu Xuan smiled very calmly, he didn't mention my rudeness last night, although there were some politeness between the words, but it didn't look like an ambiguous mei.

Fu Ang was startled, and stepped forward to grab my sleeve and asked, "Sister, did he harass you last night?" ”

"Ang'er, don't be rude." The Queen Mother scolded sharply.

Fu Ang did not retreat as weakly as always, but pointed to Huangfu Xuan and the Queen Mother openly argued, "How can I entrust Sister A's life to him, if it wasn't for Nancheng who didn't save her when she saw death, how could Sister Ah have so many hardships in vain." If the queen mother intends to marry Sister Nancheng, I will never agree. ”

I was slightly stunned, for the original incident, I did not mention it to anyone after I returned to the palace, there are only a few people who know about it, and Fu Ang will mention it at this time, but there is a feeling that I am deliberately provoking behind my back.

"Even now, if Dongfu asks for help, I will not rush to help." Huangfu Xuan did not pay attention to the events of that year, and the marriage with Dongfu to him was just an agreement made by the emperors, which was to ensure that Dongfu and Nancheng were to resist foreign enemies and cooperate on the basis of combat, but the premise was that their country would not suffer any huge losses as the premise, mutual protection and mutual containment.

At that time, Dongfu was powerless and doomed to defeat, and Nancheng would not help from the perspective of various interests. I don't have much impression of Huangfu Xuan, so far I may have only seen him five or six sides, and I was determined to give it a try when I asked Nancheng for help, just because I had a marriage contract with him, and I didn't have much hope, but Nancheng's decision at that time was coldly embarrassing.

"Nancheng Guojun did the right thing." I said with a straight face, turned around and grabbed the somewhat excessive ups and downs of the love xù, "You remember, as the king of a country, you should have such a decision, any one who puts your country and people in the first place in advance, human feelings are extremely variable, today's friends may be enemies tomorrow, save your strength, don't be wronged." ”

When Volion heard this, he calmed down, and he looked at me suspiciously, as if puzzled.

"The minister came this time, one is to ask the queen mother for peace, the other is to return to the queen mother, the queen mother's birthday, all have been prepared, the minister will start to send more people in the palace today, waiting for the envoys and VIPs of various countries to arrive in my east, I don't know what the queen mother has to order." I got up silently, still keeping my distance from her.

The queen mother's eyelids did not droop, perhaps because I was a little annoyed that I didn't follow her to do the play, but seeing that Huangfu Xuan was sitting on the side, it was not easy to attack.

"The monarch of Nancheng came from afar, he is my guest of honor, if necessary, you can directly inform the people around you, they will arrange it, if there is nothing to order, I hope that the next time we meet, it is at the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother." I turned around and saluted the emperor, "The minister retired first." ”

Dongfu has always been subject to the control of Beishao, after the battle many years ago, it has never been able to restore its national strength, and the Beishao is a vassal and pays homage every year, which restricts the development of Dongfu's national conditions in a certain way, and the direct lack of treasury resources makes it really difficult to develop troops. And Nancheng was friendly with Dongfu at this time, which really didn't make people feel unintentional, and from any point of view, Huangfu Xuan was not an emperor who would do loss-making business. Although Dongfu is weak, the Queen Mother and Xiyi still have contact, and once Dongfu is completely eaten by Beishao, then Nancheng and Xiyi are their own camps, and the two really lack the common ground to reach an alliance agreement, and it is only a matter of time before anyone will be the next country to be eaten by Beishao.

It turned out that the dream was just a foreshadowing of something to come. It's not that I'm thinking too much.

I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, like a little girl who secretly did **, a little ashamed of being afraid of being discovered. Thankfully, it's not like that.

"County Lord." I was in a daze, not noticing that someone had come up in front of me, and it wasn't until the guards saluted me that I noticed the crowd in front of me.

Standing still among my two guards was a middle-aged man dressed in clothes that were not my Dongfu, he looked very impatient, he seemed to be more reluctant to look at me, but he was gorgeously dressed, and he probably was, "It's a guest from Xiyi." The Queen Mother is now receiving the monarch of Nancheng Kingdom, but I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while. ”

I didn't want to make a fuss, so I greeted the guards and left.

The people from Xiyi and Nancheng have arrived one by one, so after that, I don't know if Beishao will send people, I am a little worried that the people sent by Beishao will come to disturb my situation.

"Childe, my young lady has finished playing two tunes according to Childe's request, and I hope Childe will respect me." On the way back to Ning Wangfu, he heard such a sharp shout, and couldn't help but look sideways, and saw that by the door of the roadside tavern, a little girl protected a woman behind her, and shouted eagerly to the three men in front of her.

I was probably in a bad mood today, this kind of thing happens every day in Leyao City, I didn't want to pay attention to it, but I happened to notice the blue behind the girl.

"In broad daylight, I dare to be presumptuous in Leyao City, but I am impatient to live!" I shouted a reprimand, drawing sideways glances from all around.

"Who dares to meddle!" The person at the head dared to stand up and respond to me, and turned his head, probably trying to embarrass me, but was dumbfounded the moment he saw me. "You are!"

The boy in his early twenties stood there, his eyes staring at me, full of disbelief. "Ninety-Nine"

"Get out!" I had no intention of hearing him continue to stutter.

I don't know him, but there is no one in this city who doesn't know me.

In a panic, he took two of his followers and slipped away timidly in front of my eyes. It wasn't until they were lost in the street that I rolled over and dismounted, "It's okay." ”

"Thank you, Lord Shire." Shen Yi bowed, still looking calm and complacent, and he couldn't see the appearance of being frightened by that group of people just now. She seemed to see my confusion, "Being in a land of right and wrong, I already look down on human nature, Shen Yi knows his identity, and he doesn't dare to blame others for being frivolous, but I also ask the county lord not to tell General Sù about today's events." ”

I hesitated for a moment, then nodded my head in response.

She bowed back again, and left with the maid in front of me.

Ever since I met Shen Yi in Mingyue Tower, there is a question in my heart that I can't solve. Huo Yu could have redeemed her, even if the Huo family couldn't accept Shen Yi's experience, Huo Yu could have bought a private house in the city to make Shen Yi's life better, but why didn't he do that?

"County Lord, all the information you want is here." Back in King Ning's mansion, I specially sent someone to the household department to look for some information, and soon, the household department Shangshu personally brought everything I wanted.

There isn't a lot of information, just a few, but it's enough to clear my mind.

Shen Yi, twenty-seven years old, the Shen family has been a famous doctor for generations, before the death of Feng, several generations of the Shen Yi family were palace doctors, and their medical skills were extremely good. Shen Yi's father was the last emperor of the Fengyi Dynasty who was extremely trusted by the imperial doctor, but the information only recorded that because her father made a mistake in the process of delivering a baby for the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine died in childbirth, so she lost the emperor's favor, and the Shen family declined.

And Shen Yi and the Huo family originally had a marriage contract, after the decline of the Shen family, Feng was left in the country, and Shen Yi went to Dongfu to join the Huo family, but was driven out.

The records behind are messy, and I only know that because Emperor Dongfu investigated the Shen family's responsibility, Shen Yi was blamed again, became a courtesan, and became the gold medal kabuki of Mingyue Tower. However, in these materials, it is not said that Emperor Dongfu was the Shen family who was investigated for crimes.

Shen Yi was also a daughter, and he was even more famous. No wonder when I saw her for the first time, I felt that her temperament was out of the dust, and she was by no means an ordinary woman, but after experiencing this, she could still be so calm and calm, but she also endured the pain that ordinary people couldn't bear.

"County Lord, something happened." The subordinate hurriedly came to report, and even forgot to knock on the door, Shengsheng slammed open the door of my study, and said in horror, "Something happened to the palace." ”

Huo Yu and I took every precaution and tried our best to deploy, lest there be the slightest accident on the Queen Mother's birthday, but I didn't expect that something finally happened.

When I arrived, Huo Yu had already led people to block the surroundings of the palace, and there was a straw mat on the ground in the middle of the palace, on which there was a female corpse, covered with a white cloth.

"What's the situation?" I glanced at the general situation in the yard and asked Huo Yu in a low voice.

"It's a maid brought by the Xiyi envoy, according to her master, she had a quarrel with someone last night, and she hasn't been seen since nightfall, until just now, someone found her in the well in the backyard of the palace." Huo Yu replied softly, "I have already sent someone to invite Master Gong to perform an autopsy." ”

Gong Yu? Can you trust it?

When I heard that it was Xiyi's people, I couldn't help but be surprised, Xiyi's people had an accident at this time in the palace where we were guarding the forbidden place, which was tantamount to explaining our dereliction of duty in front of the envoys of various countries, if we let people with intentions use this matter to embarrass us, I am afraid that there will really be something to do in the next few days.

Huo Yu invited Gong Yu to conduct an autopsy, probably because of Gong Yu's fame and authority in the four countries, to block everyone's mouths, but will Gong Yu really help us? What if someone deliberately framed it?

I felt a little tightness in my chest, raised my head, but my eyes inadvertently swept over the crowd A figure who came from outside the palace on her own and was directly led into an indoor room, even if she was dressed as a man, she still couldn't hide her beautiful and arrogant temperament, she flashed in a hurry, and after a while, someone squeezed in from the crowd, and whispered a few words in Huo Yu's ear, Huo Yu nodded.

"Master Gong Li is here." Someone outside the crowd shouted back.

"Please." Although I don't understand, why Gong Yu was invited and Gong Li came?

Gong Li slowly walked in from outside the crowd, stood on the side of the female corpse, lowered his head, and said something in his mouth, as if he was overspending the female corpse. After a while, he opened his eyes and asked, "Can we start?" ”

"Master Gong, please." Huo Yu was still respectful, he stepped forward and helped Gong Li lift the white cloth on the woman's corpse, "She is the messenger sent to Dongfu by Xiyi this time, the maid of the son of the Shangshu family of Xiyi, the last time someone saw her yesterday was before nightfall, until just now, her body was found in the well in the backyard of the palace." ”

Gong Li listened to Huo Yu's introduction silently, until the end, he looked at me intentionally or unintentionally, but he hurriedly turned around and started the autopsy as if nothing had happened.
