Chapter 263: Reunion after a long absence!

Xia Chuqi grinned, word by word, "Be a matchmaker." ”

Qinglan was taken aback, "Princess." What are you going to do? ”

"It's good to come, you can't run away when you come!"

Then, she laughed, a little wryly.

She sat up, straightened her clothes, and helped Qinglan to her feet.

A few of him came in a row, and Qinglan's voice was a little weird, and even brought some sobbing whimpering. Xia Chuqi looked at her open and closed mouth, and couldn't feel the voice, but he could see her red eye circles and the loneliness that flashed under her eyes.

"Here he is...... Brother Chen...... He's coming. ”

"Hurry up! Here comes the second formβ€”"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I said, okay, I said ......"

Qinglan couldn't dodge left and right, and finally fell to the ground and begged for mercy with a smile.

When she said she was laughing, she went to scratch her and make her laugh.

"......" She's clearly already rough, okay? Qinglan looked at her speechlessly, but Xia Chuqi smiled, reached under her armpit, and was about to tickle her, "It seems that you don't know how powerful my tickling dragon claw hand is...... Little lady, if you don't accept it, come to war! ”

"Come on." Xia Chuqi clearly didn't believe her, "Hurry up, lest Lao Tzu be rude." ”

Most of the time, in front of the seventh day of the first summer, Qinglan is also called "me". Sometimes, because of her kindness and lack of humility, Qinglan even forgets her status as a slave. But on this night, on the night of Chen Jing's arrival, she was extremely sensitive to her identity, and even gave up on herself.

"No one bullied slaves and maids, it was the wind that blinded them."

"you!" Xia Chuqi snorted, sat down with a smile, elbowed her shoulder, and looked at her with a smile, "On duty here, you can also make your eye circles red?" Say, who's bullying you again? ”

"I'm on the night today, and I can't leave a single step after what my master has explained."

Qinglan didn't dare to look her eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, shook her head, and smiled a little reluctantly.

"What are you doing when you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"

Her panicked look fell into Xia Chuqi's eyes.

"Princess......

In the gloomy night, in the cold wind, she shivered, but she did not add clothes, nor moved, until there was a warm pressure on her shoulders, she was taken aback, and raised her head suddenly.

Burying her head, she thought decadently, with a hint of despair in her heart.

Since then, there has been no intersection with him.

Who would want a princess but a slave? Or is it the daughter of a criminal minister who will never dare to put her family background in the daylight? A man who doesn't even have a name. Her name is "Qinglan", but she is not Qinglan. Her name was given to her by the princess, then, she can only bury her real name forever.

If you miss it, you miss it.

But to think about it, just to think about it.

When she returned to the house, she sat quietly outside the room on the seventh day of the summer month, leaning against the wall, hugging her knees, her thoughts drifting a little far. She thought: If in the first six years, she mustered up the courage to show her heart to him, and also confessed her feelings to her grandfather...... So, before he became a colt, was it possible for her to be betrothed to him by his master?

Seriously, in six years, tonight was the first time he had spoken to her about a private matter.

In the subsequent contact with him, she touched his hands, she talked to him, but he was always polite and courteous, and never exceeded his duty in the slightest. Every time except for His Royal Highness's confession, he never said half of his own private affairs, so that she didn't know anything except that he was called Chen Jing and was the martial champion of the dynasty.

It's just that he's probably forgotten about it a long time ago.

She remembered that glance for six years.

But somehow, countless girls admired Gao Hua, the king of Jin, who was lonely and unparalleled. Although she will also admire, but she is just admiring, but she does not have half of the heart of a little daughter whose heart is beating wildly. Because a man like King Jin can't be owned by her, she can only watch from afar, and she doesn't dare to look close. On the contrary, it was Chen Jing, when she saw her use marksmanship, that casual glance, a kind of "like gathering" exchange, made her unforgettable.

That day was the first time she met King Jin, and it was also the first time she saw Chen Jing.

She knelt on the ground and kowtowed, while he followed King Jin's side, standing quietly.

The first time I saw Chen Jing was in that kind of month.

Receiving such kindness from King Jin, she made up her mind to follow from now on.

The daughter of a criminal minister, she is still a fugitive, with such an identity, she did not expect that King Jin would spare her. Unexpectedly, after listening to her confession and self-statement, King Jin only said, "My father is a Confucian general and a righteous person." After that, he went straight away, and never asked again, let alone pursued again.

She knew that she would not escape her life, and she confessed everything.

How can a girl from a poor family be martial?

She was frightened and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Since then, she has been incognito, mixed in the middle of a group of girls, and has never shown half of her edge, nor has she had an accident. But people who practice martial arts, it is inevitable that their hands are itchy, once she secretly picked up a bamboo knot to compare her family marksmanship, and when she missed her father, she was unfortunately seen by the King of Jin who returned home.

Her father was born as a military general, and he was good at kung fu, her father doted on her, and she followed the martial arts since she was a child. After months of sleeping outside the wind and food, she had to meet Tian Fu, the housekeeper of the Jin Palace, the old man was good, and seeing that she was alone and pitiful, he led her into the house as a slave.

Originally, with such an identity, she only had a comfortable life, and she would be matched with a good husband, like those women in the house, to have children and grow old in peace. But in the twenty-third year of Hongtai, Wei Guogong's case implicated his father, his father was imprisoned, his house was raided, she and her mother went to the Jiaofang Division as a slave, and her mother committed suicide without bearing the humiliation, but she escaped.

When she had not yet entered the Jin Palace, she was also a young lady from an official family. Father followed the Wei Duke Xia Tinggan to the battlefield, at the beginning of the army generals, in the battle of the founding of the country, there were many military exploits, during the Hongtai period, was awarded the four products of the Ming Wei general, and later was promoted to the governor of the Hongtai Emperor, to assist in the defense of Liaodong. There are five brothers and sisters in the family, and she is the only daughter.

This year is the fifth year she has known Chen Jing.

Looking at the silent night sky, she stood in the courtyard and did not move for a long time.

Qinglan gave him clothes, took the bath water, and withdrew.

Chen Jing hastily ate, let people find a side room to rest, and only said that he would see the princess tomorrow.

There was silence in the guest room, and then there was a moment of silence and embarrassment.

has been by Xia Chuqi's side for more than two years, Qinglan is intimate with her, talking about her deafness, thinking of pretending not to know these days, she doesn't even dare to say a word of comfort, and her mood can't help but be low. Chen Jing glanced at her and didn't say much, just sighed, indicating that he understood.

By the end, her voice was almost choked.

After a pause, seeing Chen Jing's brows furrowing deeper and deeper, she sighed again, "As you know, the princess is a free-spirited person, she likes to live happily, and she also wants everyone around her to be happy." If we worry about her, if we sympathize with her, if we pity her, she will not feel comfortable. ”

"Ye Zi is in the know. But the lord has instructed that since the princess doesn't want us to know, we have to pretend not to know, so as not to make her sad. Therefore, I tell you first, that when you look back and see the princess, you must watch her speak, and if she does not hear, you must say it two more times, and do not show surprise or doubt, lest she find out that we are hiding from her......"

Relieved, she felt much more at ease.

Chen Jing is now a concubine, but his title for Zhao Zhu has not changed. Hearing him say this, Qinglan's heart warmed, as if she had returned to the old Jin Palace, he was not the current master of the horse, but the guard beside the master, and there was no distance between him and her.

"Can you know about this?"

"It's been more than a year."

"How long?" Chen Jing was surprised.

Qing Lan stared at his side face, smiling slightly, in a pair of delicate eyes, there was a faint light floating, "The princess is okay, it's her ears......" Seeing Chen Jing turn his head suddenly, he didn't eat anymore, and looked at himself with a frown, Qing Lan paused slightly, and sighed: "Her ears are not good." ”

He asked, "Is the princess alright?" ”

Speaking of Xia Chuqi, the atmosphere between the two people is obviously not so awkward.

Chen Jing is naturally clear about this.

Hearing that he was avoiding the topic of "the princess getting married", Qinglan choked slightly, and blamed herself a little. felt that it was extremely arrogant for him to say such things as a slave maid, so he didn't mention it anymore, only smiled slightly, and also said eggs, "Frying eggs like this is the way the princess said." You know, she's always different from others, and her brain is slippery. ”

Before her voice fell, Chen Jing's hand holding the porcelain bowl stiffened. He didn't look up, he didn't look at her, he only coughed awkwardly, "This egg is fried tender and delicious, and it tastes very good...... I've never tasted anything like this, and Miss Qinglan is also a clever person. ”

Maybe she was in a relaxed mood, she didn't think too much, so she smiled casually, "I didn't expect that Master Ma still has such skills, then in the future, Princess Yonghe will marry into the mansion, but she will be blessed to share ......."

Listening to him casually talk about his family and his parents, Qinglan's heart suddenly softened, and she felt as if she was a lot closer to him. While he was eating, she did not leave, but stood quietly beside him and waited, talking to him while serving the dishes.

With a chuckle, Chen Jing set up the dishes and chopsticks, filled the rice, sat down and said: "When I was young, my family was poor, my father served in the army, and my mother was blind, so I was sensible early, and although the things on the stove were not good, I could barely ......eat them."

Qinglan glanced at him gently, "Master Pony can also cook?" ”

Seeing that she personally took the tray and returned, the sleeves that she had rolled up did not put down, obviously it was her own hand, the embarrassment on his face was even worse, and he hurriedly greeted it, and said embarrassedly, "I'm tired of the girl, it's Chen who is rude, and I am not an outsider in the Jin Palace, so I should have done it myself." ”

As long as she was gone, Chen Jing sat there motionless for as long as she was.

Out of the guest hall, Qinglan suppressed the waves of tension and panic in her heart, tried her best to maintain a proper smile, and carried the lantern to the stove. The mother-in-law on the stove had already fallen asleep, and she did not wake them up, but rolled up her sleeves, tied her apron, heated the meal prepared for the seventh day of the summer at night, got up the stove again, knocked two eggs, fried them into a shiny and golden egg cake, put them in a tray, and brought them to the hall.

Qinglan smiled, "Master Pony will stay for a while, and I'll go back when I go." ”

"That'...... Bother Miss Qinglan to give her a bite to eat. ”

His face was embarrassed, and he couldn't refuse.

Chen Jing got Zhao Mianze's will and set off north. In order to arrive as soon as possible, he rushed to Beiping City when the boat arrived at the wharf, and there was no delay along the way, and indeed there was no dinner. Hearing this, he originally wanted to say "I have used it", but his stomach made a "grunt" and answered before him.

"Master Ma came all the way from Beijing, and he has been tired all the way, and he hasn't had dinner yet, right?"

Seeing that he turned to listen to her, she was silent for a moment, and then sighed softly.

"Master Pony, wait a minuteβ€”"

Chen Jing looked at her wringing handkerchief, a little embarrassed, "Chen came to the house late at night, thinking that he disturbed the girl, I am really ashamed, I will go to find a side room to settle down, the girl is so resting......" He said to go, as soon as the words fell, he stepped out, and with that resolute attitude, Qinglan couldn't help laughing.

With such a stalemate, the atmosphere is a little weird.

Qinglan smiled and pursed her mouth. Since the time of his southern expedition, she originally thought about him for many days and nights, and looked forward to seeing him again, but now that he was in front of him, she felt that she had nothing to say.

"Then ......," Chen Jing smiled embarrassedly, "whatever you want." ”

Qinglan was silent for a moment, and chuckled, "This time is different from the past, and there should be no less courtesy." If it is not spread out, others will say that the slaves and maids in the palace of the king of Jin have no rules. ”

He raised his hand and grimaced, "Miss Qinglan, you and I used to be servants in the same house, so you don't have to be so angry. ”

Two "horse masters" in a row made Chen Jing a little embarrassed.

Long......? It's been a long time, and when she sees him dressed like this, she doesn't dare to recognize each other for a long time. Qinglan smiled bitterly in her heart, seeing that he looked polite and polite, her eyelids drooped, and she also bowed down respectfully, "The slave and maid ask for peace to the master of the horse." I don't know if the horse master came here late at night, and he didn't have time to meet ......"

"Miss Qinglan, I haven't seen you for a long time, but are you okay?"

Chen Jing was not dressed as usual, wearing a pale purple plain robe, a ribbon with a pattern of Panli, a pair of black soap boots, and no sword on his waist. Seeing her stunned, he was also stunned for a moment, so he stepped forward and bowed his hand.

When she saw his shadow before, she thought that she missed him too much, and she had a momentary hallucination, but she didn't expect that person to be really Chen Jing. He who was far away in Beijing would suddenly appear in Beiping and appear in the Jin Palace, it was too unexpected, she didn't believe her eyes at all, she was only stunned, and she didn't speak for a long time.

At just one glance, Qinglan's body stiffened, and she was completely stunned.

He probably heard footsteps as well, and his gaze shifted from the painting in front of him.

He was tall and broad-shouldered, and he looked somewhat familiar.

When passing through the courtyard, the night breeze is blowing. She took her steps lightly and walked very gently and quietly. The lights in the living room were on, but the people in the house were already asleep, so there were no extra people, and when she stepped into the room, she only saw the back of a man.

But she didn't ask much, just nodded, and walked away.

Qinglan was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

"You don't have to call it Cao Dianbao." A glanced at her, his eyes were quite deep, and he didn't follow, "The person who came didn't bring anything, but just brought a piece of the will of the capital." But the master is not in the house now, if it is late today, the princess is asleep, everything has to be left for tomorrow, you go and settle him, and it will be done. ”

"I think it's Jingli who sent a reward again, so I'll go and ask Cao Dianbao to collect things, the princess, you don't have to call her, she can't sleep well these days-"

Therefore, when she heard that someone was coming here, she didn't think too much about it, except for feeling that it was a little unexpected that it was dark at night, and with a gentle "um", she walked out of the inner room with Jiayi and walked to the guest hall outside the hall.

She accepted Jingshi's reward without any pressure, but did not give Zhao Mianze half of the reward. No matter how many words the father-in-law in Beijing hinted at her, "Your Majesty misses her and thinks about her", she doesn't know anything. Among those rewards are useful, food, clothing, and play. Although she keeps money, she is not stingy, and she will share it with the girls. Qinglan, as her personal girl, naturally enjoys the most "imperial grace".

This kind of thing, if you change someone else, you may still be cowardly, but Xia Chuqi has always been a free and easy person - if you have money, don't be in vain. Especially Zhao Mianze's things, he can't refuse.

Since arriving in Beiping Mansion on the seventh day of the first month of summer, it is not uncommon for Jingshi to come to people or things, and almost every month, the father-in-law in the palace will bring a lot of rewards. People who don't know the inside story say that the emperor thinks of the nineteenth uncle's goodness, and the relationship between uncle and nephew is the most harmonious, but those who know know that Zhao Mianze is not for Zhao Zhu, but for the princess of Jin who has not yet taken the throne in the Jin Palace.

"Jingshi is here."

A glanced into the room, his brows furrowed slightly.

"The princess is asleep, is there something urgent?"

She shouted, hurriedly grabbed Jia Yi, and waved her hand at him again.

"Brother A."

She teased softly, carefully accepted the book in Xia Chuqi's hand, folded the quilt for her, and was about to put down the mosquito net, when she heard a hurried footsteps outside. She was stunned, glanced at Xia Chuqi, who had no reaction, did not speak, only smiled and asked to leave, then slowly put down the tent, opened the door and walked out.

"Poof", Qinglan was happy, "Even if you are sad, the slave and maid must not obey." ”

Xia Chuqi rolled his eyes, "...... Would it be sad to show love and be rejected? ”

"The slave doesn't dare to sleep, if you wait for the master to come back, you have to take the slave's life."

She is a girl who is used to making people happy, and being teased by her for a while, Qinglan's originally gloomy mood finally brightened up. Suddenly laughing, she lifted the blanket from her lap and stood up.

"Don't talk about this, just ask Xiao Qinglang, do you want to sleep with me tonight?"

Xia Chuqi smiled, glanced at her with a smile, and changed the subject.

"Princess......" Qinglan pursed her lips weakly and sighed long.

"Come on, little one!" Xia Chuqi smiled and patted her hands, a pair of black grape-like eyes shimmered, and a smile on his face, "Your life's event, I will definitely make decisions for you." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Xia Chuqi continued to ask, speaking very quickly, "So you feel at ease, why do you often look at the south and get distracted, how many times have you not responded?" So you feel at ease, why do you feel uncomfortable and so miserable when you hear Chen Jing's name? ”

"The slave is ...... It's ......" Qinglan is divided.

"Go! So you have peace of mind, why can't you sleep in the dead of night? ”

"Hmm." Qinglan nodded again, and her voice was like the chirping of insects.

Raising his eyebrows, Xia Chuqi smiled and the corners of his lips curled, "So, it's really at ease?" ”

"Well, for a lifetime." Qinglan nodded affirmatively.

"For a lifetime?" Xia Chuqi asked with a smile.

"The king of Jin has the talent to go through heaven and earth, and the slave believes that there will be a day. It's just that even if there is a day, it will be too late. Even if he is not married to Princess Yonghe, he is still the identity of a general, and he is ...... between him and me Oh, princess, the slave and maid have no such blessing in this life, I just hope that the princess will not dislike me, and allow me to wait by my side for the rest of my life, so ...... Then I was at ease. ”

Such a rebellious remark, even if they know each other, they can't be said easily. But Qinglan was so scared that she was going to die, Xia Chuqi didn't seem to care at all, Qinglan sighed helplessly, so she had to give up.

Qinglan let out a low cry, so nervous that she almost covered her mouth.

"Princessβ€”"

"As a human being, sometimes don't be too pessimistic. Although Brother Chen is now a concubine, isn't he still married? There are no absolutes in the world, and his identity as a colt must be Yonghe a princess, right? What if one day, Yonghe is not a princess? ”

She shook her head desperately, blushing, and said she didn't dare. was so angry that Xia Chuqi scolded her for being pedantic, but he had to respect her values. Helplessly, she took a thin blanket sideways and handed it over, covering Qinglan's lap, and then she lay back, holding her neck with both hands, smiling softly, and picking up the previous topic.

"Princess, this ...... Unruly. ”

For her, this is not a big deal, but Qinglan is frightened.

"My hands are cold like this. Look at you, you run in with so little dressing...... Come to bed and lie down with me and talk. She moved into the bed, lifted the quilt on her body by the way, and motioned for Qinglan to sit down and cover the quilt with her.

After getting along for so long, Xia Chuqi had never heard Qinglan talk about her family history, let alone heard her mention her mother, at first glance, she couldn't help but be a little surprised. But after Qinglan finished speaking, she didn't look away, and her expression knew that she didn't want to talk deeply. Xia Chuqi didn't like to step on other people's bottom line the most, and when he saw this, he smiled lightly, and didn't ask any more, only shook her hand, showing comfort, but unexpectedly found that Qinglan's hand was a little colder than hers.

"Princess......" Hearing her blame herself, Qinglan couldn't help crying and laughing, "It's because I'm not blessed, where can I blame you?" Don't think like that, my mother said that marriage is determined by heaven and cannot be forced. ”

"When I was in Jingshi, I said that if I avenge my revenge in the future, and I still have my life alive, I must promote your relationship with Brother Chen...... But as you said, the world is unpredictable, and before I have time, he has already been married. Qinglan, I am responsible for this matter, I should have planned for you earlier. ”

"Why should I blame you?" Qinglan looked up.

"Poor people, blame me."

Her tone was not heavy, and there was even a hint of teasing lightness. But although he didn't admit that he "missed" Chen Jing, he still acquiesced in his affection for Chen Jing. With a sigh, Xia Chuqi couldn't help but sigh when she thought of the distance between her and Chen Jing.

"Princess, don't tease me. Even if I was in the Jin Palace, I didn't have a chance with him...... What's more, the world has changed, he is now a great general, the master of the dynasty, how to match the status of a slave like me? …… is to go to his house to be a concubine, but I am afraid that the princess will not allow it. ”

After staring at her for a moment, Qinglan's eyes flickered, and she finally lowered her head.

"Say it! It's just the two of us here, and no one else hears it anyway, tell me what you're talking about, what are you afraid of? ”

"Hey, that's a strange answer. Don't dare, or don't you want to? Xia Chuqi's kung fu of grasping people's words is first-class, she can't sleep at night, and finally someone comes to chat with her, she refuses to let go, while sneering and teasing her, she stares at Qinglan's face like nails, urging her.

Startled, she quickly shook her head, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Where did Qinglan expect her to ask like this?

Think! How could you not want to? Xia Chuqi sighed, looked at her silently for a moment, the corners of his lips went up, and he didn't answer, but suddenly asked: "Then tell me first, do you miss Brother Chen?" ”

Qinglan nodded meekly, first went over and fiddled with the wick on the candlestick, and the fire was maximized, then she lifted her skirt and sat slowly on the edge of the bed on the seventh day of the summer month, and smiled softly, "Princess, are you missing your master?" ”

"I'm not too sleepy yet, come here, let's talk."

She pursed her lips and beckoned to Qinglan.

In the flickering lights, the light was not too bright, Xia Chuqi squinted, not seeing what Qinglan said clearly, but just looking at her worried eyes, she could also understand that this girl was caring about her.

"These three watches have passed, you read like this, it hurts your eyes, don't read it."

Qinglan heard her movement in the house, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw her sitting on the bed reading a book.

"Princess, why haven't you slept yet?"

As soon as I saw this line, the door "creaked" open.

"Therefore, those who make good use of soldiers, the soldiers of the people instead of the war, the city of the people instead of the attack, the destruction of the country of the people instead of the long, will fight for the whole world, so the soldiers will not stop, and the benefits can be complete, and the method of attacking is also ......"

With a sneeze, she tore off her clothes and put them on, got up in the dark, lit the lamp, pulled out a book from the bookshelf at random, and then sat back on the bed, ready to fall asleep when her eyes were tired. can be opened at will, it turned out to be a copy of "The Art of War", she was a little speechless, but she still looked at it idlely.

"Ahh

After sitting in silence for a moment, she couldn't sit still. When Zhao Zhu was there, he would warm her hands and feet every night, so that she could sleep comfortably until dawn. But he was not there, leaving her to sleep alone, and she always felt that her hands and feet were cold no matter what.

I don't know how many people will be implicated this time-

She guessed: This smoke that has been dispersed for a long time is afraid that it will be rekindled again.

Nanyan's prosperous and splendid area is still the "meat" in the eyes of others.

Thinking of the original Wuliang Khan, he could only rob grain and grass, fight and rob, so that the people could survive the winter, and when he encountered a scoundrel like Xia Tingde, he had to send his own princess to dedicate himself to envelop Zhao Zhu - sure enough, Shibei was impressed for three days.

Mobei has changed so much in one year, which is something that Xia Chuqi did not expect.

The rapid growth of a country will inevitably lead to a surge of ambition. The same is true of Wuliang Khan, they are no longer satisfied with living in Mobei, but constantly send elite cavalry to the south around the line of Yin Mountain, as if to provoke Nan Yan's bottom line. But in the second year of Jianzhang, Tian'er has not thawed, and Zhao Zhu is guarding Beiping Mansion again, and the imperial court has not made any major moves except for sending additional troops to consolidate the border on the front line of Yinshan. Or, maybe a big move, is in the works.

The fighting in the grassland tribes has never stopped for thousands of years, and it originally had little to do with Nanyan. But in the end, everyone is a neighbor, and if there is a fire in the house next door, the smoke will also smoke into their own house. Not to mention the impact on the people's livelihood caused by the continuous months of war between Uliang Khan and Beidi that led to a large influx of displaced people into Nanyan, the invasion and harassment of Uliang Khan has also reached the point where Nanyan cannot sit idly by.

Today's Mobei grassland, Wuliang Khan seems to be on an equal footing with Beidi, showing a state of equal strength.

Under the sky of "goshawks chirping and cold wind howling" in Mobei, countless changes have been discovered in just one year. The 12 alliances of the originally weak Uliang Khan rose rapidly with unstoppable force in a short period of time, and developed from a newly formed alliance of steppe tribes to a powerful khanate. They occupied most of the area north of Yinshan, from Dongsheng, through Fengzhou, and beyond Shajing, to the desert, and occupied the territory around the Rahe River, claiming to be the king and hegemonic. At the end of May of the first year of the founding of the chapter, in the process of expansion, there was a great battle between Uliang Khan and Beidi. At that time, the Beidi prince Hasar was in full swing with the six kings of Bagen, Hasar sat in the middle of the court, not on the front line, the Beidi army was defeated, and Wuliang Khan took advantage of the situation to enter and annexed a lot of Beidi territory.

In addition to the movements of the Dayan court, there is another thing that I learned about in the seventh day of the first few days.

Between him and Zhao Mianze, it was an undecided battle. He has been preparing for so long, it is impossible to easily show his true thoughts, not to mention "carp whistle", no one can say for sure whether there are nails buried by Zhao Mianze in advance among these Beiping guards. Therefore, in extraordinary times, he cannot act rashly. But once he gets into trouble, those vassal kings will be his most powerful supporters, and he can't directly reject people thousands of miles away, so avoiding is the best way.

Xia Chuqi couldn't fully guess what Zhao Zhu meant, but the two had been together for so long, and they knew a little better.

In the days when Zhao Bottle left, several vassal kings such as Zhao Xi, King of Ning, and Zhao Dong, King of Xiang, secretly sent people to Beiping, wanting to make an appointment with Zhao Bottle in private. They found an accomplice, and the intention of changing the system was obvious, but Zhao Zun did not return to the mansion for a long time, and Xia Chuqi could only send those people away hastily.

King An Zhao made the first "soul under the sword", and the vassal king next to him was naturally worried.

The people in the court all speculated that Zhao Mianze was about to start withdrawing the domain. No one knows whether Anwang Zhao Shu has "intended to rebel". But they all know that among the many sons of Emperor Hongtai, he is the weakest vassal king.

This is the first major event that has caused a national uproar since March.

Zhao Shu, the king of An, who was also the son of Emperor Hongtai, was impeached in front of Emperor Jianzhang for privately buying hundreds of Beidi horses, and finally, Emperor Jianzhang revoked his title of vassal king for the crime of "attempting rebellion", abolished as a concubine, and was escorted back to Beijing.

On the second day of Zhao Zhu's departure, she heard a rumor.

Xia Chuqi didn't want to guess, but she was as sensitive as her, and probably knew that the situation had changed.

It's only a few dozen miles back and forth, what is the reason for holding him?

In Beiping Mansion, there were three guard battalions under the jurisdiction of Zhao Zhu, the king of Jin, with a total of more than 90,000 troops. They were stationed in three camps outside the city of Beiping, and there were battalion generals in charge of them. Zhao Zhu would usually pass, but he had never had such a record of not returning for such a long time. In the past 20 days, he only came back halfway to pass the word, brought her some gadgets, and told her to rest, but he did not set foot in the house half a step.

That day when he came back from Miaoyin Town, he was called to the Carrier Hall by Zuo Changshi Jiangnan, and after meeting a few officials of the Jin Palace, he didn't know what to discuss, so he only came to the backyard to talk to her, and then hurriedly went to the guard camp.

It has been almost twenty days since Zhao Zhu left the Jin Palace.

She glared at the top of the tent for a moment, then sat up and leaned against the head of the bed.

At night, there was silence.

But she hasn't healed for so long, and although she hasn't given up, she's used to it.

At first, she thought it was only temporary, and it would soon recover.

When she first had hearing problems, she analyzed the causes herself. The root of the disease can be traced back to Xilin Gol on the way to the Northern Expedition, where he fell into an ice cave in the cold winter in order to fish. Ice water is poured into the ear canal, and the ear pressure is unbalanced, damaging the eardrum. However, if it is said that it is an internal cause, then the matter of Xiao Nineteen is an external cause. The sudden stimulation, she only felt that her blood was churning, and her emotions were unbearable, so she had a sudden deafness.

After taking medicine for more than a year, her illness still hasn't improved. In this way, she believed in the old saying "heart disease still needs heart medicine", it seems that Xiao Nineteen is gone, and her heart medicine is gone.

Unfortunately, it has not been.

Since she had an ear problem more than a year ago, she has not been sleeping well. In the past, when she slept, she often hated all kinds of noise disturbances. Now that the world was clear, she realized that no sound was more terrible and more difficult to sleep. Sometimes she thinks that even the occasional little buzz of her eardrums can lift her.

Alone in bed, the beginning of the summer tossing and turning, difficult to sleep.

The night was clear, but the night was very hot.

However, the weather in Beiping Mansion, the "land of dragons and tigers", which is often said by Taoist monks, is changeable. A few sunny days, a few cloudy days, and a few rainy days, causing people to wear clothes back and forth in winter and spring, and catch a cold after sneezing, sighing that this year is not a year of wind and rain, and it is not a good sign.

In the second year of the founding of the chapter, after the Cold Food Festival, the weather gradually warmed up.
