"Aren't you the personal maid next to Princess Hui?"
"Back to the princess, the slave maid is the personal maid Lotus next to Princess Hui." Although the maid knelt on the ground, her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and she did not look afraid at all.
Sheng Xue looked up at Concubine De suspiciously: "Concubine De, what the hell is going on?" ”
"On the day you got married, Lin Banxia asked this girl to poison Shan'er's food, but fortunately, this girl learned that she had lost her way and had saved Shan'er's life. Now that Concubine Lin Guifei and Lin Banxia are searching for each other in the city, she has no choice but to take refuge in the palace. ”
Concubine De was indeed very puzzled when she saw Sheng Xuejian, and the suspicions in her heart were dissipated, and then she told the truth.
Sheng Xue suddenly remembered that this lotus flower was one of the ten thousand flowers, and it was the person who looked at the scene! It's just that why did Concubine De call herself over?
"I don't know why Concubine De called me over?" Sheng Xuejian really couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Concubine De's gourd.
"This girl is Lin Banxia's personal maid, and she is a girl who has signed a death contract, it is impossible to turn her back on her master so easily. This palace heard that you have had a great favor with this girl, so she is willing to sacrifice herself to save people, and it is also because of you that Shan'er was saved. ”
Saying this, Concubine De looked at Sheng Xue's face full of kindness and gratitude.
Sheng Xuejian's gaze met with the lotus, and she suddenly understood that this was a favor from Rong Jing.
If Lianhua directly said that she was her own person, Concubine De would definitely suspect that she was planning to ask her to owe her personal favors. Now that Rong Jing is doing this, Concubine De just saw that she really didn't know. This favor is naturally owed.
"I never thought there would be such a cause and effect." Sheng Xue saw that she stretched out her hand to help the lotus, but she was the person on Wanhualu, and now Rongjing gave Wanhualu to her. Lotus is her person.
"Concubine Lin is still searching for this girl, and staying here in the palace for the time being is the safest." Concubine De said this, in fact, she was asking Sheng Xue for this person.
Concubine Lin Guifei wants to murder the heirs of the royal family, the lotus flower is the most important witness, it is impossible for Concubine De to let people go easily, and at this moment, Sheng Xuejian has already understood Rong Jing's intentions. He nodded in agreement.
"This girl has been living a hard life since she was ......"
"Don't worry, with this palace here, she will not be harmed. This Lin Guifei. Hongu Suri didn't fight with her, but she became more and more arrogant. ”
Sheng Xue saw that her head was lowered, there was a shadow in her eyes, and she couldn't see her emotions clearly.
She didn't want to get involved in the harem so soon. Unexpectedly, Concubine Lin couldn't hold her breath like this. In this case, it is also the day to kill her.
The two talked for a while, and the fifth prince and Sheng Xuehan came back from school. As soon as the third princess saw Sheng Xue, she warmly pulled her to talk.
"I heard that on the first day of the first month of next month, the western indigenous countries will come to worship the Apocalypse, and His Royal Highness is the most beautiful princess of the Apocalypse, Yukimi, I will dress up well when the time comes."
"The first day of next month? Isn't that three days away? "Although this matter has already been mentioned by Duanmu Jinghua. But so early, Sheng Xue was slightly surprised.
"yes. This is what my father said, and my father said that when the time comes, send the best materials here and make me the best clothes! Huangfu Huijing's eyebrows fluttered.
Sheng Xue saw that she already had a plan in her heart, and according to Jinghua, the time for the indigenous countries to come to worship seemed to be in advance.
Could it be that he and his rebirth have changed a lot of things in the dark?

Above the court, the emperor threw down a fold and covered his face.
"In the past four years, this is how the household department has done things? Cassia! You should explain it to me! ”
The emperor was furious, and the emperor fell to his knees, only asking for punishment, but he didn't have a word of justification.
Prime Minister Lin Cheng stood aside and watched coldly, he would definitely come forward to defend it on weekdays, but at this time, he was indifferent.
Huangfu Chonglou stood aside, but he didn't see the lively mood in his eyes.
The military situation in the north is urgent, but the grain and grass that should have arrived two months ago are still delayed on the road.
Duanmu Jinghua had already secretly told him that if it weren't for the shortage of food and grass, Nangong Magic would not be able to connect the three cities so quickly.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty still don't know the extent of the military situation in the north, so it is still a little unclear why the emperor has sent such a big fire.
Duanmu Jinghua looked at Huangfu Cassia coldly, this time he didn't even say a word of justification, this is probably not in line with his style, this time the delay is clearly beneficial to Nanzhao, can it be said that it is ......
Back then, did he plan to repeat his old tricks?
"Since you can't be the poor of the household department, then let Chonglou come!" The emperor glared at Huangfu Cassia angrily, and then announced the decree in court, letting Huangfu Chonglou take charge of the household department and send grain and grass to the north as soon as possible.
Huangfu Cassia accepted this reality calmly and quietly stepped aside.
Duanmu Jinghua looked at his series of actions, and a trace of darkness flashed in his eyes.
After leaving the court, Prime Minister Lin Cheng stopped Huangfu Cassia from behind.
"Your Highness, the old man said, Nangong Magic is not a fool of barbarians, he eats people and doesn't spit out bones, how can you cooperate with him!"
"Lord Yuezhang is old, this king doesn't care about you, and this king is tired, so he won't listen to you here." Huangfu Cassia lazily said a few perfunctory words, turned around and left.
"You!" Prime Minister Lin Cheng stood in place, his face red and red ears by the emperor's anger.
"It seems that you have put all your bets on him, but he doesn't appreciate it very much." Taifu didn't know when he appeared behind Prime Minister Lin.
"Is it possible to put pressure on your grandson?" Prime Minister Lin sneered, brushed his sleeves and left. But Taifu's words were like a seed sprouting in Prime Minister Lin's heart.
Huangfu Chonglou and Duanmu Jinghua finally walked out of the main hall, and it was rare that Huangfu Chonglou's face was serious and heavy.
"Since he is willing to let the household department out, it means that he is fully prepared, I didn't expect him to join forces with Nangong Magic!" Huangfu Chonglou coldly glanced at Huangfu Cassia in the distance.
"I thought you wouldn't be surprised." Although there was a brief surprise. However, Duanmu Jinghua still accepted the fact that Huangfu decided to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country.
"Why do you think he's in such a hurry? Don't even hesitate to be a traitor! Huangfu Chonglou shook his head, angry and angry.
"The emperor is upright and in the prime of life, and you are gradually gaining prestige among the courtiers. Concubine De's fifth prince was the most favored time, and he couldn't wait for ten years later. Duanmu Jinghua rationally analyzed the situation of Huangfu Cassia.
"That's why you're going down this path? Collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, even if it is a prince, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people! Huangfu Chonglou stopped and looked at Duanmu Jinghua seriously.
Duanmu Jinghua also stopped and looked back at him. "Nangong Magic has connected three cities. With the internal response of Huangfu Cassia , if I am not in the north, he will soon be invincible! ”
"Don't worry. Even if the household has become a puddle of mud, this king will definitely not lack your food and grass. Did my father say, when are you leaving? ”
"The indigenous countries of the south will come to worship on the first day of the next month, waiting for them to leave. So I went on my way. Duanmu Jinghua remembered the emperor's words. Although the north is urgent. But we must not slip through the cracks in front of our subjects.
"The first day of next month will be three days later, so it's okay, I also have time to prepare."
Duanmu Jinghua nodded and looked at Huangfu Chonglou seriously: "In the past four years, you have also achieved a lot." ”
"Are you still the same kid I was back then?" Huangfu Chonglou glanced at Duanmu Jinghua angrily.
"It's not too early, Master told us to go to the altar today." Duanmu Jinghua said seriously.
Who knows that Huangfu Chonglou didn't buy it at all: "It's to pick up your wife, why make any excuses." ”
………………………………………………
Under the repeated tests of the ghost array, Sheng Xue saw that he had turned into a hundred donkey skin masks this afternoon. Finally passed the assessment of the ghost array.
"You're already very talented." Rong Jing handed over a glass of water and comforted him softly.
Sheng Xue saw that he took the cup and drank it all. She knows. But as the first disciple of the ghost array, this talent is definitely not enough, at most it is only a first-class in the rivers and lakes, and she wants to be the first.
"I want to thank you for the lotus thing." Sheng Xue saw that she remembered what happened in the morning, and hurriedly thanked Rong Jing.
Rong Jing just nodded lightly: "That day is your wedding, I don't want anything to affect your mood." ”
"Thank you." Sheng Xuejian smiled slightly, in the past four years of getting along, Rong Jing's status in Sheng Xuejian's heart has gradually deepened, and she treats him as her big brother.
"Aman!" Duanmu Jinghua's voice came from the door, and Rong Jing's expression when he looked at Sheng Xue suddenly became happy, and he turned his head almost the moment he heard his voice.
"You're here?" Sheng Xue saw the appearance on the side, and ran directly towards Duanmu Jinghua with her skirt.
"Well, I'm here to take you home." Duanmu Jinghua raised his hand and wiped the thin sweat on Sheng Xuejian's forehead with his sleeve, and as soon as he lowered his head, he saw Sheng Xuejian's bright eyes.
"It just so happens that I've finished learning what I should have learned today, it's almost time, you wait for me to clean up." Sheng Xue said with a smile.
Duanmu Jinghua nodded, and she turned around and went back to the house to pack her things.
Rong Jing stood under the porch, the two looked at each other from a distance, like a piece of lightning, you come and go.
"You're going to the North?" In the end, Rong Jing was the first to speak.
"Are you happy?" Duanmu Jinghua's response was cold.
"No, Yukimi will be sad." Although he didn't want to admit it, Sheng Xue saw that the person in his heart was not his appearance.
Duanmu Jinghua was slightly stunned, and after a long time, he held back a sentence a little awkwardly: "The time I went on the expedition ......"
"I'll take good care of her." Rong Jing replied lightly, interrupting Duanmu Jinghua's words.
"Hmm."
"Jinghua, I've packed up, let's go!" Sheng Xue saw that he came out of the house with an extra brocade box in his hand.
Duanmu Jinghua consciously walked over, took the brocade box from her hand, and gestured to Rong Nod: "Farewell." ”
Although he was in the palace, Duanmu Jinghua still ignored the eyes of others, holding Sheng Xuejian's hand, and Sheng Xuejian's little face was red all the way.
"Jinghua, what are you doing here?" Sheng Xue shook the hand the two were holding when she saw it, but Duanmu Jinghua held it tighter.
"The emperor said that on the fifth day of the next month, I will go on the expedition." Duanmu Jinghua stopped and looked sideways at Sheng Xuejian.
"So fast? I haven't prepared a winter coat for you......" Sheng Xuejian's eyes were immediately stained with a layer of mist.
Duanmu Jinghua was distressed, so he took the person into his arms.
"Remember what you promised me, don't worry about me."
"Why is it so ......fast" Sheng Xue saw that he was trying to forget about Duanmu Jinghua's expedition all day, but he didn't expect that what should have come would still come, and it would become faster.
"Huangfu Cassia and Nangong magically colluded, if I don't go, I'm afraid that the northern border will not be protected." Duanmu Jinghua explained why.
Sheng Xue suddenly looked up at him: "Huangfu Cassia is so bold?" Isn't he afraid that the emperor will punish him for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country? ”
"This is not the first time that he has collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country." Duanmu Jinghua let go of Sheng Xuejian and led Sheng Xuejian towards the carriage.
"I'm not going to make him happy for too long. Lin Guifei actually poisoned the five princes, Concubine De already knew about it, and Lin Guifei would not be happy. Sheng Xue said coldly.
"The emperor has removed King Hui from his position in the household department, and now it is in the hands of King Jin." While the two were talking, Hongmei had already placed the steps, and Duanmu Jinghua helped Sheng Xue to see the carriage.
"He's willing to give it away?" Sheng Xue was a little puzzled.
Since he was willing to give it, he must have made complete preparations. Now the grain and grass have not reached the northern border. The situation is very favorable to Nangong Magic. ”
"I won't let him succeed, it's too slow to transfer grain and grass from Shengjing now, but the Bai family has more than 30 grain stores in the north, so I'll fly pigeons and pass the book, and let my uncle transport it to the northern camp first!"
Listening to Sheng Xuejian talk about sending food without hesitation, Duanmu Jinghua couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and held Sheng Xuejian's hand: "If you have a wife like you, what more can you ask for?" ”
Sheng Xue saw that her nose was sour, and she fell into Duanmu Jinghua's arms: "I have been a human being for two lives, I just want to be safe with my sweetheart for one life, as long as you are safe, I can do anything." ”
Who said that love makes people have weakness, and it also makes people have armor.
That's probably how I feel.
This night, Duanmu Jinghua was still busy in the study all night, and at dawn, someone knocked on Duanmu Jinghua's study door.
Duanmu Jinghua opened the door and saw that Duanmu Jingyao was outside the door.
"You go on this expedition, take me with you." The firmness in Duanmu Jingyao's eyes made Duanmu Jinghua unable to say anything to refuse.
"You are now a person in the rivers and lakes, so don't get involved in the battlefield. That's not where women stay. ”
"Do you doubt the strength of the Martial Arts Alliance Master?" Duanmu Jingyao's good-looking peach blossom eyes were horizontal, with bursts of oppression.
"Sister, I can handle it." Duanmu Jinghua had to say more.
"I know, but I'm going to give Nangong a magical look!" Duanmu Jingyao said hatefully.
"What do you have to do with Nangong Magic?" (To be continued......)
