The details of Hao Lianjue and Shang Jin's visit to the emperor are not mentioned for the time being, but that Youyi was sent back to his residence by Hao Fu.

Shang Que and Wei Ru had already gotten the news and were looking at the door. Seeing her come back from afar, they were all so excited that their eyes were red.

"Bad girl, you're scared us to death." Wei Ru hugged her and said, Shang Que shed tears.

"Look, where are you hurt?" Shang Que rubbed her up and down, "Where did you get the rags, it's really wronged." Come in with us, take a hot shower, change into a neat outfit, and then talk about it. ”

Hearing this, Wei Ru also regained her composure and hurriedly pulled her in.

The hot water had already been prepared, and various flower petals were placed in it, and a fresh fragrance came to the nose. Sixteen illustrated screens stand around the large bathtub, pancreas, horn combs, brand new towels and other items are neatly placed next to them, as well as a set of new clothes, shoes and socks.

The two girls waited for Youyi to bathe, and Shang Que and Wei Ruhou refused to leave behind the screen, as if they were afraid that Youyi would disappear again.

"Oh."

Hearing Youyi's comfortable movements, Wei Ru couldn't help but say, "What kind of crime is this girl guilty of?" You can be comfortable like this when you take a bath. ”

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been playful, she wouldn't have strayed into the martial law zone. It's just that the martial law area is guarded by officers and soldiers at all times, why didn't you see how she got in? I knew that she was inside, and I asked the emperor to send someone to pick her up, so why wait until now? "Shang Que has not experienced anything in the end, and he is well protected by his family, and his mind is simple and his thoughts are simple.

Wei Ru's eyes darkened when he heard this, and the young Yi inside could hear it clearly, and his eyes became even more gloomy. She still doesn't know what happened outside in the days she has been missing. However, listening to the meaning of Shang Que's words, it didn't seem to cause any turmoil. Thinking that he is just a small person, even if he dies, what can he do? Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that the person who harmed her dared to be so unscrupulous!

Thinking of this, Youyi couldn't help but clench her fists. She must find this person out, otherwise it will be a scourge sooner or later!

Before she could think about it, she heard Shang Que chirp again, "Fortunately, you met Hao Lianjue, although that guy is ruthless to women and doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade, he is not a villain in the end." It's just that where have you ever suffered like this, with a group of stinky men, and you lack food and clothing, I feel sorry for you just thinking about it. I'm to blame for this qiē, if it weren't for ......"

"Come on. These days you are always saying these words, and my ears can hear the calluses coming. Wei Ru interrupted her with a smile, "It's good that Youyi is back, don't mention those unpleasant things repeatedly." I don't know what to do in the kitchen to eat, so I have to make up for Youyi. ”

When Shang Que heard this, he immediately got up and wanted to go to the kitchen to take a look. Youyi inside also came out after taking a shower and changing her clothes, and the two girls were sent out by her.

Wei Ru took the towel in her hand, looked at her in the mirror while helping her wipe her hair, and said, "It's dark, it's thin, but it has become more and more graceful as a girl." ”

"This incident has really benefited me a lot!" Youyi replied with a different finger.

Wei Ru's movements were very gentle, and her tone was light, but there was a ruthlessness in it, "Don't worry, the person who harmed you can't escape." ”

"What? Do you know who did it? Hearing this, Youyi hurriedly turned around, "I'm thinking that I have nowhere to start to investigate, dare to kill people in the hunting ground, I'm afraid the person behind this is not simple." Besides, it was the little maid of the merchant mansion who led me there, and I didn't dare to bother the finch, lest she be too careful. ”

"When we found out that you were missing, we were in a hurry. The finch used the power of the merchant to search around, but there was no clue. I didn't expect it to be good, so I had to rely on greater strength. ”

"You're going to find the emperor?" Youyi was shocked when she heard this. She knew that Wei Ru had made up her mind to draw a line with the emperor, but now she had to ask for help for herself. She knew that the royal advantage could not be taken in vain, and she didn't know what Wei Ru had exchanged for.

"You don't have to worry, although he is a man, he is the son of heaven!" Wei Ru's words put Youyi at ease.

Yes, how can a dignified king of a country coerce a woman to be his own person? This is undignified, too despicable, and too narrow-minded. Besides, what kind of woman does the emperor want? Partial birth to hit a nail in your place? As long as the emperor hooks his fingers, I am afraid that a large group of women will rush to warm the bed. The emperor will definitely not let down his majesty for the sake of a woman!

"This qiē is all done by that kid of the Wen family! He lost the jade pendant rewarded by the first emperor, and he was unwilling, but he didn't dare to trouble the second prince, so he sprinkled his anger on you. In the end, he is the prince's brother-in-law, and many people buy his account. He acted in the name of the crown prince again, and he really let him become. ”

"Wen Jun?" Although Youyi was a little suspicious, there was no real evidence after all. Now that she heard Wei Ru's words, she naturally believed it. It's just that she is a little puzzled, since the emperor promised to help Wei Ru investigate this matter, and also found out the reason, why didn't she see any movement? Could it be that the emperor wants to defend the crown prince and refuses to publicize this ugly thing?

I only heard Wei Ru continue: "Your every move in the martial law area is under the monitoring of the emperor, if your life is really at stake, someone will definitely go to the rescue as soon as possible." In order not to ruin this competition, I had to endure it. Even though you can get reports about your peace every day, you can't help but worry that you can't see your peace in person when you are in that kind of place. Especially when the emperor said that this matter cannot be revealed, I don't even have someone to make an idea. Que'er's mind is too simple, and this matter has something to do with her, so I naturally dare not sue her. ”

Hearing this, Youyi was shocked, so there are a lot of eyeliner laid by the emperor in the martial law area? Hao Lianjue's every move is under the close attention of the emperor? Then Hao Lianjue deliberately eradicated the people of Zhendong and Pingxi through competition, didn't the emperor know it clearly?

Right now, Hao Lianjue and Shang Jin are meeting the emperor in the middle hall, and they don't know what they will face. Youyi couldn't help but worry when she thought of this, and even her face became ugly.

"Are you worried about Hao Lianjue?" Wei Ru naturally saw the worry in her heart, "Don't worry, since the emperor didn't intervene, he naturally acquiesced to their behavior." As an emperor, although he is rich all over the world, everyone in the world surrenders, but there are many things that cannot be done as he wants. The army on the side of Zhendong and Pingxi is not like that, the emperor is not unaware, but he just affects the whole body, especially when it comes to the army, and there can be no measures lightly. ”

This is the reason why the emperor knew that Wen Jun had framed him, but he kept silent? Youyi felt that if he had anything to do with the royal family, things would become much more complicated. It seems that she can't avenge herself with her own hands, and maybe even whether she can do it has become unknown.

The most important thing at the moment is the emperor's attitude, not only Youyi pays attention, but the civil and military ministers want to explore the emperor's direction. In the nave, the atmosphere was dull, and everyone was full of caution and caution, and they didn't even dare to take the atmosphere lightly.

The emperor sat at the top, and Hao Lianjue and Shang Jin stood side by side on the top of the main hall. There was also an old man with a gray beard standing next to him, his affection was obviously a little excited, and he saw that the emperor was speechless for a long time and asked again.

"Your Majesty, although life and death in this competition depend on their abilities, Wu Deyong, the commander of the Zhendong Army, is the only son of General Zhendong. General Zhendong is willing to stay in such a bitter cold place for more than 20 years for the peace of my Dayu border pass, with both merit and hard work. If he dies at the hands of a foreigner, it will be worth it to be a martyr and sacrifice his life for the country! But a talented man died at the hands of our own people, and he died in an unknown way. The minister implored the emperor to thoroughly investigate the matter in order to comfort General Zhendong's heart as a father.

Moreover, the Pingxi Army is the elite of the team, and the annihilation of the whole army is a heavy blow to the Pingxi Army! At present, the west is not very peaceful, if the people at the border pass are in dire straits, and therefore the imperial court is plunged into external worries, killing 10,000 heads will not offset the sin! ”

The person who spoke was Lord Wu, the secretary of the military department, and he knew by looking at his surname that he and General Zhendong were from their own family. In detail, he is the cousin of General Zhendong, which is not far away. They had a very good relationship because of the close relationship between the affairs of the imperial court. Now that his precious son, who is treated as an eyeball by his cousin, has died, how can he not be in a hurry to get angry? Besides, General Pingxi gives heavy gifts every New Year's Day, and his men and horses are all wiped out here, so there must be an explanation.

Although there will be casualties in every autumn hunting competition, this competition has gradually become a formality since the pre-queen period, and those so-called heroes have long become legends. In the past one or two years, I have not heard of any commanders from all walks of life dying in battle, and all the soldiers and small leaders have died, and even if those commanders are caught, they will be free when they leave the martial law zone. This is also the reason why General Zhendong dared to let his only son participate, the right is exercised, who really dares to kill his own son? I never thought that someone would really break ground on Tai Sui's head!

When the emperor heard Lord Wu's words, he glanced at the ministers for a moment and asked, "What do you think?" ”

The civil and military officials all hung their heads and were silent, and some people shrank their heads, for fear of being named by the emperor. Old Man Shang stood up and replied loudly: "The old minister thinks that Lord Wu is making something out of nothing, and people are worried!" Hunting arena competition is a rule left by the ancestor emperor, who dares to doubt it after so many years? Within the martial law zone, the weak eat the strong, only talking about life and death regardless of the reason, it has always been like this, how can it be said that it is not clear? Besides, General Zhendong has made great achievements, so General Zhennan and General Mobei are idle meals? Lord Wu mentioned that he wanted to comfort General Zhendong, and the old man agreed, but he couldn't chill other people's hearts!

Lord Wu also said that the west is not peaceful, and the alien race has always been eyeing us, and occasionally tentatively invaded our borders. Just imagine, in the martial law zone, the whole army can be wiped out, can there still be the ability to resist foreign races? It's just a bunch of dry food waste! Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the border army needs to be cleared and rectified, and he also asks the emperor to decree! ”

Isn't Fang Cai still talking about Wu Deyong's death? Why did the topic suddenly change to rectifying the army? Could it be that this was secretly instructed by the emperor? The organic spirit lord saw some signs and echoed them, and some people took the opportunity to mention the Zhendong Army and the Pingxi Army that they were doing all kinds of evil in the local area.

Seeing this, Wu Shangshu shouted in his heart, it seemed that things were bad. At present, the core figures of the imperial court are all in other courtyards, and it is difficult to spread the news. If the emperor really wants to take any measures, a holy decree will probably surprise many people. Could it be that the emperor already has a plan in his heart? Thinking of this, Lord Wu broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more.

Everyone was secretly calculating in their hearts, but they heard the emperor say: "The rules left by the ancestor emperor are naturally correct!" But General Zhendong's only son is gone, which really makes people sigh. ”

What does that mean? Blame both sides? Everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking.

Prince Rui, who had been sitting beside the emperor without speaking, said: "Brother Chen thought that he should comfort General Zhendong, after all, he is the minister of my humerus." It just so happened that General Shang Lao proposed to rectify the army, so it was better to invite the four generals to meet the driver in the other courtyard, first, to give General Zhendong an explanation in person, and second, to listen to their opinions on the matter of rectifying the border army. ”

Lord Wu was shocked when he heard this, and he felt that the emperor had a good plan. Although the four generals are stationed at the border all the year round, they are not without contact with the capital. But right now, this courtyard is the eyes and ears of the emperor, and it is a fool's dream to send news to the border gate. Their manpower is left in the capital, and they are powerless in the other courtyard.

At this time, this place proposed to rectify the army, and then urgently transferred the generals at the border gates back, so that they did not have the slightest precautions in advance. As long as they come, they will still have the final say? If they don't come, this charge of disobedience will be enough for them to drink a pot!

Thinking of this, Lord Wu broke out in a cold sweat again. I'm afraid that there will be a big change this time, and the scary thing is not this, but that he, as the secretary of the military department, didn't even feel the slightest rumor in advance. Perhaps, the emperor is taboo that he is from General Zhendong's own family, and he has a good relationship with General Pingxi.

If the two of them suffer this time, then their good days will come to an end.

He secretly wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and in a trance there was a feeling that his life was short. The whole person seemed to be standing under the scorching sun, sweating profusely; In an instant, it was as if I had fallen into an ice cave, and I couldn't hear what others were saying, it was all buzzing.

"Then how should this decree be formulated?" The emperor asked.

Lord Rui continued: "Please ask the four generals to go to the other courtyard within five days to discuss national affairs, and if they fail to do so within the time limit, they will be punished for treason!" ”

"Good! I will write this decree myself. The emperor nodded in agreement, "In the next few days, I will be wronged to ask all the ministers to stay here, and there will naturally be people waiting for you to eat, drink, and Lazar." With that, he drove away.

When Lord Wu heard this, he sat on the ground with a frightened look on his face, and several other officials also frowned.

Prince Rui and the others looked as usual, and said calmly: "Presumably, the emperor intends to summon us courtiers at any time, so he keeps us." After all, the rectification of the army is not a small matter, and there must be no mistake in the slightest. ”

Someone immediately walked over and asked softly. It's nothing more than wanting to inquire about the emperor's thoughts, and I have a preparation in my heart, so that I can know how to deal with it next.

"The emperor's business is unpredictable, I don't know. However, in the past two years, most of the expenditure of the state treasury has been given to the local army. A freezing rain in the first year made the treasury run out even more. If you don't want to do it again, I'm afraid ......" Rui Wangye's words revealed too much information, and for a while, everyone secretly calculated in their hearts.

Seeing this, Lord Rui smiled and said: "All colleagues don't need to panic, drink tea and chat with peace of mind, and have their own emperor's holy judgment." ”

Hao Lianjue and Shang Jin looked leisurely, they took off their armor and sat on the ground. The eunuch came in with refreshments, and the two ate unceremoniously. They didn't eat seriously in the martial law area, this imperial chef has good skills, the dim sum is sweet but not greasy, and it melts in the mouth.

Hao Lianjue was eating a snack, and suddenly remembered Youyi, this snack was to the girl's appetite, and she had the idea of packing a few pieces.

Shang Jin on the side saw him distracted by the dim sum, and said with a chuckle: "Brother Hao doesn't love money or beautiful women, so it's a good mouth." ”

"Chromophobia, too." He put the snack in his mouth, and the scene of Youyi rolling roast meat with potato cake and mountain garlic shaking his head while eating it came to his eyes.

That girl is a foodie, and she is probably throwing off her cheeks to eat happily.

really let him guess correctly, Shang Que personally went to the kitchen to take a look, and made a big table of delicious food. She knew that Youyi liked light, and tried her best to get pickled sour bamboo shoots, which was the most appetizing.

She and Wei Ru sat on both sides of Youyi to make dishes, and kept letting Youyi eat.

At this moment, a little girl ran in from outside, and replied in a panic: "Second girl, it's not good." The eldest young master was left in the middle hall by the emperor. ”

Well, the three of them were stunned. Youyi's heart skipped a beat, and she panicked for no reason.

Hao Lianjue united with Shang Jin in the martial law area and wiped out the east and west, and even Wu Deyong did not let go. Could it be that he caused the wrath of the thunder by doing so? After all, Wu Deyong has a special identity, and he is the only son of General Zhendong.

I heard that General Zhendong had such a precious son when he was over forty years old, and he was afraid of melting in his mouth, and he was afraid of being scared in the palm of his hand. Wu Deyong was born smart, enlightened at the age of three, practiced martial arts at the age of five, and the old general placed infinite hopes.

The most important thing is that the old general is fortune-telling and fortune-telling, and he has no children, so he is even more precious to this son. Therefore, although this Wu Deyong is a piece of material, he is indulged in lawlessness, and he thinks that he is the first person among the young heroes. He had countless concubines at a young age, and when he saw whose girl was Shui Ling, whose daughter-in-law had a bit of a look, he dragged him into the house, so he also caused a lot of deaths. But everyone was hindered by his identity and status, so they could only swallow blood and tears into their stomachs and dare not speak out.

Now that Wu Deyong is dead, the old general is dead! I'm afraid this breath is hard to swallow. He has a heavy army, and if he has a different heart, he is afraid that there will be a big change. Therefore, in order to appease his anger, the emperor is likely to send Hao Lianjue and Shang Jin down.

Shang Que jumped up even more anxiously when he heard this, "What's the matter?" What about grandfathers? Can you come back? ”

"The slave doesn't know what's going on. It's just that when I came back from the garden, I heard someone say something that was left by the emperor, and asked someone to send a change of clothes. The slave didn't know anything else, and when she heard the news, she ran back. ”

Seeing that the six gods of Shangque had no owner, Wei Ru hurriedly said: "Don't worry, let's inquire about the matter clearly." Don't listen to this girl's babbling, maybe it's not what we think. After speaking, let the girl next to him go and inquire again.

Before the girl came back, a little eunuch came, saying that the emperor had summoned all the adults to discuss important national matters. Because the matter was very important, and he could not make a decision for a while, he left everyone to eat and live in the nave, and asked the family members to prepare a change of clothes and take it away.

What is it that is so important that it should be discussed day and night? Although Shang Que was anxious, she also knew that she could not intervene in national affairs, so she hurriedly went to prepare clothes for her grandfather and brother, and sent someone to watch near the nave to see if there was any movement.

Not only were they anxious, but the families of other ministers were also smoking. The queen came forward to summon all the wives of the inner life, and comforted them with kind words, only saying that there were military affairs to discuss, and nothing else.

In order to appease people's hearts, the queen also specially prepared a chrysanthemum banquet and invited all the ladies to participate. During the banquet, a sumptuous wine and food were prepared, there were singing and dancing performances, and I don't know where to get the two female ministers to tell jokes, laughing and scolding made everyone laugh.

In addition, Princess Rui and others adjusted the atmosphere, and everyone's panicked hearts gradually settled down. Those who can come here are important ministers and their families, usually in the capital, and occasionally the emperor leaves someone in the palace to discuss state affairs. It's just that this bone eye is a bit coincidental, and it has to make people question.

On second thought, since the queen can take them to have fun, maybe it's not a bad thing.

Wei Ru's injuries have long been healed, and Youyi is fine, and the two of them are naturally on the list.

Everyone knows their identities, plus Wei Ru was injured and Youyi was missing, so the two couldn't keep a low profile if they wanted to.

This time, the queen mother actually named them to participate, and they naturally stopped pretending to be girls from the merchant mansion.

Youyi sat next to Wei Ru, and saw the crown princess sitting next to the queen, waiting for her mother-in-law with a gentle face. She seemed to feel a gaze, looked at it with a smile, and nodded slightly when she saw that it was Youyi.

Her younger brother has caused such a catastrophe, she, as an older sister, won't not know? But in front of her, she acted as usual, as if nothing had happened. It's such a deep thought, no wonder I can stay in peace in the royal family.

Fill garlic who can't! Youyi also smiled, and there was some sincere fear and envy in it.
