Compared with the past, when few courtiers supported Xiao Moheng, in this court dispute, there were many ministers who openly opposed Xiao Mocheng's courtesy of enjoying the prince's specifications. Of course, in addition to the efforts of Dongfang Zhan and Wen Du, it is also the move of many ministers to recognize the direction of the wind.

Since Xiao Moheng served as the commander of the three armies, many courtiers are faintly optimistic about the hidden Seven Princes, when he is a gram of Xiangyang, and then Chang'an, the ministers already think that this world must be the Seven Princes, and now, Xiao Moheng's Northern Expedition is successful, his exploits have been invincible, and his ministers are fierce generals, and the northern scholars are attached to them, if the courtiers are not loyal at this time, then how to enter the new dynasty in the future?

Therefore, the ministers led by Cheng Qi Xiuling in the imperial history strongly opposed Emperor Xiao's resolution, and even Shang Shu's servant shot Wang Xuzhi was quite a headache, only Xie Hui remained silent, because he knew that the more he opposed at this time, the more determined Emperor Xiao would be to implement it, because in the face of these ministers who favored Xiao Moheng, as an emperor, he was naturally extremely unhappy. In this way, Emperor Xiao will only be more jealous of Xiao Moheng.

However, Xie Hui was not in a hurry this time, since his Xie family's daughter gave birth to Xiao Moheng's first son, he was more confident, showing a pampered demeanor.

He knew that now Xiao Moheng no longer needed to hide any edge, as long as there was a change in the court, he could wave his troops south at any time and sweep Jiankang at any time. And at this time, those courtiers who jumped out to support Xiao Moheng were obviously smart.

Because of this, Emperor Xiao is now very jealous of this son, plus Concubine Su keeps fanning the pillow wind. Emperor Xiao was a little more dissatisfied with Xiao Moheng.

Soon he issued an edict to Luoyang, and he asked Xiao Moheng to temporarily hand over the military power to Mu Xiaohe, and let him return to Beijing to take up his post.

When Xiao Moheng received this edict, he was no longer smiling bitterly but laughing, he laughed at his father for being willing to hand over military power to an outsider, but he didn't trust his son, Xiao Moheng was sad, but also a little hateful.

However, Xiao Moheng naturally did not give in, he took advantage of the chaos caused by the Dayan Yu Party in Luoyang, indicating that he still needed to guard Luoyang to stabilize the overall situation. And in order to report to Emperor Xiao and the imperial court on the conquest of the army. He asked Mu Shizi to return to Beijing to take up his post.

In this way, the court was very embarrassed, and Mu Xiaohe also had a headache and helplessness. In the end, Mu Xiaohe was forced to return to the court under pressure.

It's just that. The night before Mu Xiaohe's departure. Jiang Mei suddenly received an unsigned creed.

"It's early tonight. See you in the drunken garden next to Luoshui! ”

Although it was not signed, Jiang Mei looked at the handwriting as if it was a little familiar, and her eyes paused. After cleaning up a little, he quietly took Jiuzhu out.

Jiuzhu took her through several streets, and after several turns, she came to a remote courtyard in the southeast of Luoshui.

She walked in through an inconspicuous door, her thick jacket and bucket hat. Along the bluestone path, all the way inside, and Jiuzhu has been quietly following her.

After a few winding paths, she saw a tall attic beside a small pond with little water, and the dim candlelight spilled through the fine nanmu windows, radiating a warm glow in the cold winter night.

Jiang Mei smiled involuntarily, she turned around and glanced at Jiuzhu, motioning for him to wait for her here, and she walked up step by step with her skirt in her skirt.

Jiuzhu opened his hand and wanted to follow, but after hesitating for a while, he still chose to stand quietly under his head.

A gust of cold wind blew over, freezing so cold that Jiang Mei couldn't help but shiver, she lifted the heavy curtain, but felt the warm breath inside, smiled slightly, and walked in.

The attic is surrounded by high lamps, the candle flame is gently flickering, the inside and the outside are separated by a beaded curtain, through which you can vaguely see the display of the desk and kneeling mat inside, and the whole attic is so quiet that only the sound of charcoal burning can be heard.

Jiang Mei opened the bead curtain and walked in, but saw that there were calligraphy and paintings hanging on the four walls of the room, some of which were due to the charcoal fire, and it was very warm inside.

Suddenly, a pair of strong hands hugged her from behind, and she was startled but did not move, the man hugged her tightly, buried his chin in her shoulder and neck, and a strange and familiar feeling enveloped her.

"Yue'er......." was hoarse, and a low, magnetic voice rubbed against her ears.

Her body shook, two tears quietly slipped out, countless emotions suddenly churned in her chest, Bei Yan bit her red lip tightly, she couldn't say half a word, only tears rushed wantonly.

It's just that the strength between the hands is sometimes heavy and sometimes light, as if he wants to rub her into his heart, and he seems to be afraid that it will hurt her, so he is not embarrassed. Mu Xiao and the gradually heavy breathing lingered around her neck, and her whole body was as anxious and uncomfortable as if it was burning.

It was only when he heard her choking voice that he gradually lost his strength, turned her around, and made her face him.

There were a few strands of ink hair sticking to the fine sweat on his forehead, his delicate face was full of tears, and his long eyelashes covered all emotions, except for the delicate lips that were trembling lightly.

Mu Xiaohe's extremely loving eyes wrapped her, she couldn't see enough, she couldn't think enough, she just wanted time to stop here for a lifetime.

Jiang Mei always lowered her eyes, didn't dare to look at him, didn't want to look at him, couldn't look at him!

In the past sixteen years, it is not that I don't know his situation, he has lived in Ningzhou for 14 years without marrying, he built a building for himself next to Dian Lake, and even one day, she passed by the Lianyue Pavilion, but unfortunately she just glanced at it from a distance, and then quietly left.

In the two years of reunion, there were countless opportunities to recognize him, but she sat back and watched him marry Pei Lanying, matchmaking Hua Ying to marry him, and then gave her personal maid to him as a concubine.

She was afraid, she was afraid that he would ask why, she would not be able to explain everything to him, and she would not be able to give any explanation for every question.

Mu Xiaohe hugged her slender waist with one hand, held her face with the other, he leaned over and approached her with his head down, his forehead against his forehead, his nose against his nose, and his hoarse and low voice sounded again,

"My little Yue'er, after sixteen years, I finally know that my heart is beating..."

Jiang Mei's heart trembled, and she finally raised her tearful eyes. Facing the affectionate black pupils, she noticed at this moment that her heart was beating violently, how many times she was sad, how many times she pretended to be calm, pretending that she couldn't see or hear.

And at this moment, the happiness that I once dared not touch is in front of me!

"Xiao and Brother ......." has never been coquettish, and has never been tender.

This sentence "Xiao and brother" crushed all the anger in his heart, and also knocked down all his reason at the moment. Instantly. Mu Xiao and his heart surged with a strong current of heat,

He put his arms around her body and kissed her hard, he held her lips tightly. The Spirit Tongue cracked her teeth. turned all the love in the hearts of the two upside down.

Thousands of loves invade like a river out of the gate. The green and beautiful buds broke through the sixteen-year imprisonment and bloomed at this moment.

At this moment, he has no warmth, no melancholy, and all the bitterness and pain have turned into domineering enthusiasm and melt into this extremely intertwined kiss.

The kiss spanned sixteen years. It took all the strength of his life.

Jiang Mei, whose mind was blank, forgot all her concerns, and just wanted to release the long-suppressed love in her heart at this moment.

Soon, her whole body was paralyzed, weak and weak, in the end, she was just recovering from a serious illness, after all, she couldn't stand Mu Xiao and such a strong offensive, and her body slipped down out of breath.

Fortunately, Mu Xiaohe bent his knees in time and grabbed her, and the two of them sat on the ground like this.

However, Mu Xiaohe still didn't let go of her, a little bit of concern for her weak body, just hugged her tightly in his arms, afraid that if he let go again, he would miss his life.

Jiang Mei closed her eyes slightly, leaning tightly into his arms, with a faint smile on her face, a smile of satisfaction from the heart, for a long time....I haven't enjoyed his embrace like this for a long time, that is the existence that will always make her warm and reassuring.

Mu Xiaohe hugged her with one hand and held her delicate little hand with the other, rubbing constantly,

"Silly girl, how much suffering you have suffered for so many years! You have so many things to plan, why don't you come to me..."

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Mei opened her eyes, raised her head, looked at him, and intercepted the words: "Xiao and brother, the past is all in the past, let's not mention it, okay?" ”

Seeing that her eyes were clear and full of anticipation, he just smiled lightly and gently dropped a kiss on her forehead, "Okay, listen to Xiao Yueyao, then let's just take care of the future..."

As he spoke, his eyes looked straight at her, which made it clear,

Jiang Mei's chest froze, and she didn't say anything, just leaned on his arms again and rubbed it,

This rub made Mu Xiao and his whole body a little hot, he exhaled deeply, looked at the weak and powerless person in his arms, and strongly suppressed his **,

He hugged her with difficulty, and there was a feeling that he was afraid of melting in his mouth and holding it in the palm of his hand.

Jiang Mei chose a comfortable position, wrapped her arms around his waist, and made herself stick closer to him,

He will return to Beijing tomorrow, the capital is unpredictable, and the two belong to different camps, after going back, will she still have the opportunity to snuggle up with her Xiao and brother without scruples, she doesn't know,

"Xiao and brother, after returning to Beijing, what should you do for His Highness the Nine, what should you still do, Your Highness Seven, don't worry, no matter what the outcome will be in the future, I won't let him hurt you at all!"

"Also, Xiao and my brother don't need to say anything for me in front of Su Jin, I am confident that I will retreat with my whole body!"

She didn't want him to be embarrassed.

"Silly girl! Since you entered Beijing two years ago, has this been what you have worried about me? Mu Xiao and the corners of his lips hooked a light smile.

Jiang Mei smiled warmly, "What Yue'er misses the most is naturally Xiao and brother!" ”

Hearing this, Mu Xiaohe's heart was suddenly sweeter than eating honey, and a few kisses fell on her forehead.

Jiang Mei closed her eyes and rubbed into his chest, she just wanted to absorb the most real temperature in his arms and enjoy the unique time alone between the two in sixteen years.

Early the next morning, Jiang Mei and Tao Yiran, who gave Xiao Moheng the meaning of the gift, personally sent Mu Xiaohe to the outskirts of the South Gate.

When saying goodbye, the two kept their mouths shut about the government, one looked indifferent, and the other was sad and helpless. In addition to making each of them cherished, there seems to be no superfluous words. Hua Ying took care of Jiang Mei for a few days, personally boiled porridge and served medicine for her, and the two of them had a few days of relaxed and comfortable life, Hua Ying saw that she was getting better, so she followed Mu Xiao and returned to Beijing with confidence.

After Jiang Mei knew this, the two were hostile positions, and her heart was very sad. However, because she considered that Mu Xiaohe was no longer in danger, she secretly recalled Wu Dan. After all, compared to Mu Xiaohe, Xiao Moheng is probably facing crises everywhere.

Moreover, considering that Mu Mansion is probably the safest place in the capital, Jiang Mei decided to let Yun Yan follow Mu Xiao and return to Beijing.

On December 15, the fifteenth year of Dahuan Jingxi, Xiao Moheng received a holy decree, he opened it and took a look, only to know that Emperor Xiao had summoned him back to Beijing to serve on the grounds that he was seriously ill. That night, Xiao Moheng summoned Jiang Mei, Luo Jue, Gao Chi and Deng Rui to discuss countermeasures.

"Your Highness, this is obviously a ploy by the Nine Emperor Princes to lure His Highness back to Beijing!" Gao Chi said worriedly,

"Yes, His Highness refused last time, this time His Majesty is seriously ill, if you don't go, you will lose the family of a son of man, and your Highness will be criticized!" Jiang Mei answered,

"Pei Yun and Su Jin knew that they couldn't shake His Highness's military power, so they had to force His Highness to return to Beijing through this method!" Deng Rui frowned and said,

"I knew they would do this, so it's nothing, now the capital has to go back, but I'm afraid this road won't be peaceful..."

This is what Deng Rui and Gao Chi are most worried about, Xiao Mocheng will never give the Seventh Prince an excuse to send troops, so blindly staying in Luoyang is not a solution, the matter of the capital will need to be solved sooner or later, but the current capital is probably in danger for Xiao Moheng.

"Your Highness....the capital is unstable!" Gao Chi sighed,

"Not to mention the capital, I'm afraid there will be Su Jin's ambush soldiers along the way!" Deng Rui replied, he needs to go back, but how can he reach the capital safely and successfully thwart the Nine Emperors and his party?

"The two generals don't need to worry, I have decided to return to Beijing!" Xiao Moheng said calmly,

Now that the master has already expressed his position, it is time to ponder the question of which route to take.

Jiang Mei analyzed: "In this case, then His Royal Highness can take three roads back to Beijing, one to go to Xiangyang, down the river into Jiankang, this route is farther, but there is no need to consider, the second is to take Pengcheng, take Xuzhou through Jingkou into Beijing, this road is safe and fast, and the third road is a nearest road, that is, to the south through Shouchun, and then to Jiankang, although this road is close but dangerous, now the Su family has mastered Yuzhou, I am afraid that it has already laid a net to wait for His Highness to drill in!" ”

"The girl analyzed it very clearly, so she can only go to Xuzhou!" Deng Rui replied, obviously, the most important thing is to ensure Xiao Moheng's safety,

Gao Chi also nodded and said, "For the sake of safety, it is best to enter Jiankang from Jingkou!" ”

What made the two of them strange was that Xiao Moheng actually shook his head, he glanced around at the four of them, paused, and said calmly: "I decided to take the Shouchun line!" ”

When Jiang Mei heard this, she quickly glanced at Luo Jue, before, Jiang Mei had discussed this matter with Luo Jue, and she already had a mature plan, but all this still depends on Xiao Moheng's meaning, Xiao Moheng said this, but Jiang Mei felt a sense of sympathy. (To be continued......)
