In the fragrance of tea, Lu Yan sighed lightly: "Lord Yuan treats me well, and Mrs. Yuan is also a virtuous person, that is, the other concubines in the mansion...... Hey, needless to say, my sister also knows that those people are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, worshiping the high and stepping on the low, and if their lives are unsatisfactory, they will vent their anger on others, and I have indeed suffered a lot of cynicism from them. ”

Yao Duran listened, took her hand and rubbed: "Lu Yan, it's really hard for you, but fortunately, it's over." Now that I have entered the palace and stood in this position, I will not allow anyone to bully you anymore. Tomorrow, I will send someone to the Yuan Mansion to send some heavy rewards, one for Mrs. Yuan, and one for you, so that I can wake up those villains in the Yuan Mansion. ”

Lu Yan gladly accepted it, smiled and nodded: "Thank you sister for your love." Now although my sister is in a high position and is honored, she can't take it lightly, and her sister must deal with it carefully. ”

Yao Duran said: "Well, sister, don't worry, I know it in my heart." The harem is the land of tigers and wolves, and if I live according to my former nature, I am afraid that I will not live long, so if I don't enter the palace this time, if I come in, I will no longer be able to be that fuel-efficient lamp. ”

Lu Yan stared at her for a long time, and finally said, "My sister has changed." Be brave, be smart, be ...... It makes the green diaphragm feel more secure. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and chatted a lot, and finally, they pulled Fuquan and Biya to sit down, and the four of them chatted happily together, and talked thoroughly about what had been missed in the past six months.

Several people seemed to have discussed it, and they were very tacit, and they did not mention the person who used to be, and the person who is now on the run.

With the aroma of tea and fruit, they chatted until noon, and the sumptuous lunch was on the table, and after half a year, everyone ate at the same table again, and the other three were shocked and surprised.

Lu Yan: "Sister? You...... That's the meat you just ate?! ”

Fuquan: "Niangniang, you, you are too happy to eat the wrong thing today?" ”

Biya: "Niangniang, you don't feel unwell, right?" The slave and maid hurry up to get some vinegar, you take a few sips and press it, and you won't be sick to your stomach. ”

Yao Duran looked up at the three of them, and only then did he react, and immediately smiled: "It's okay, I'...... My vegetarian habit has changed. ”

Under the compulsion of one person, it was changed.

The three of them didn't know why, and they nodded half-convinced and half-suspiciously understood. Next, watch her eat like a spectacle. Looking at it, the three of them finally realized that the person in front of them had fundamentally changed, no longer a vegetarian, more free and easy than before, and more smiling than before......

On the second day, Yao Duran sent people to Yuan's mansion with great fanfare and sent some rich rewards. The share given to Mrs. Yuan is not only to thank her for taking care of Lu Yan in the past, but also to encourage her to continue to be lenient.

At this point, all of Yao Duran's worries and ties fell, and he suddenly felt that he had nothing to do and was light, which was unprecedented relief.

This night, Huo Jingcheng did not stay overnight in the Wanton Palace, but went to the queen's Fenghuan Palace.

The night passed in a hurry, and the next morning, there was a new movement in the front direction. Commander Yang replied that the fugitive Qiao Fengzhi resisted arrest and fell off a cliff on the way to escape, with no bones left. At the same time, news came from King You's Mansion that King You had been missing for three days.

Huo Jingcheng knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and said in his heart that Huo Jingyao was really infatuated, and he didn't even want this rich nest for the sake of a traitorous thief, so he ran away. Who's on their own path is on their own.

Thinking so in his heart, the statement given to the outside world is that King You took leave and retired from the dynasty and traveled all over the world.

The matter has finally come to an end. And the next thing simply made Huo Jingcheng happy.

Lord Xiao, Du Yan, Qin An, these three people actually returned to Beijing on this day!

A Qin An has been in Nanqian for more than half a year. And Lord Xiao and Du Yan have also left Beijing for half a month in the Southern Wilderness, and when they came back together, Huo Jingcheng was very happy, and immediately passed them into the palace to meet each other.

Father-in-law Wei returned to the imperial study after ordering the matter, and saw that Huo Jingcheng was in a good mood, and he also smiled with his old face: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Finally waited for someone back. ”

Huo Jingcheng paced slowly in the imperial study and said with a smile: "Yes, as soon as they come back, the matter of Nanxiao City can be solved." ”

"I have been dragging it, it's not that there is no one available in the court, but Lord Xiao and Du Yan happened to go to the Southern Wilderness, and they know the situation over there well, so I can't move, just wait for them to return, and then make a plan for the Southern Expedition, and then I will recover Nanxiao City, let me ask, besides Du Yan, who can take on this heavy responsibility?"

Wei Gong said fairly: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

Huo Jingcheng looked at him and said, "After Qin An enters the palace, I will allow you to leave the palace to retire." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Father-in-law Wei hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him.

Half an hour later, Lord Xiao and Du Yan entered the palace for an audience and were announced to the imperial study.

The three of them have not seen each other for more than half a year, and they are happy to see each other at this time.

Lord Xiao looked at Huo Jingcheng, who was already the king in front of him, and his eyes were as bright as stars! I thought that as soon as the matter of being called the emperor came out, it was difficult for the East Palace to reverse the situation, who knew that the real dragon was the real dragon, and at the last moment when the eight parties were in control, they were able to force the palace at the bottom of the kettle, and they turned defeat into victory on the spot.

"Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! The two knelt on the ground and saluted, their tone excited and sonorous.

Huo Jingcheng smiled and went to help Lord Xiao in person, and said, "Lord Guozhang is exempt!" ”

As soon as he heard Huo Jingcheng personally call him 'Guozhang', Lord Xiao was even more overjoyed in his heart, and after getting up, he said modestly: "The old minister is ashamed and dare not be a man." ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "Why don't you dare to do it? Lord Guozhang and Du Yan are running around for my future, and the heart of loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon, and I will never forget this feeling! ”

Lord Xiao looked pleased: "Your Majesty is serious." ”

Huo Jingcheng looked at Du Yan on the side again, and said with a smile: "Du Yan, what do you want?" Even though you are a monarch now, don't share it with me. ”

Du Yan bowed his hand: "Your Majesty said yes." ”

After some greetings, I finally talked about the matter over there in the Southern Wilderness.

"Your Majesty, the situation in Nanxiao City is very bad! There are about 100 remnants of the Eight Parties, and when they pretended to be the emperor of the East Palace, they made this fake show very fine, and the momentum was very grand! Not only did they arrest the commander of the city army and his family, but also forced the commander of the city army to submit! Even the officials who resisted in the city were killed by them, and the rest of the officials were forced to submit! ”

"Not bad! The person who wore a golden mask and called the emperor, named Liang Yin, led the remnants of the Eight Parties to still seal the city as a basis, covering the sky with one hand! If they want to cut it down, then the people of the city are not their hostages! That's why they have no fear, not afraid of the power of the new king. ”

Huo Jingcheng listened, his eyebrows frowned: "It was originally a rabble, but now it has also become a tiger!" In such a situation, if you want to recover the Southern Owl, it is not easy to throw a rat trap! ”

Du Yan was born as a military general, and he was arrogant and arrogant, so he couldn't see such a thing as being constrained by his pockets, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty, so far, I'd rather die of a cow than overturn the car!" Otherwise, don't care about the thieves and the people, and send troops to attack the city! I am afraid of the Qianchao, there are many talents, and the soldiers and horses are strong, how can I let this rabble take control? ”

Huo Jingcheng shook his head slowly, and said earnestly: "I can't help it, as soon as I ascended to the throne, I made the people of a city sacrifice, which is really a bad start, and it is difficult to call it a benevolent monarch, and it is even more negative to the name of Tianze." Du Yan Na Du Yan, this is not a battlefield battle, but thousands of people as hostages, trapped in a city. If you want to take this city, what you will recover is the dry bones of thousands of Li people, and it is difficult to say between my merits and demerits. ”

Lord Xiao agreed, and nodded slowly: "Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to the Southern Wilderness to negotiate with Liang Yin first?" ”

Huo Jingcheng still shook his head: "Negotiation is useless, it will only increase their arrogance." Besides, the thief's heart is at ease, no one is a fool, how can it be so easy to fall on my strings. ”

Du Yan was annoyed and slapped his palm on the armrest of the seat: "What should I do about this!" ”

Huo Jingcheng paced slowly: "Liang Yin, Liang Yin...... It's a capable person, and it's really stumped for me. That's it, Rong Zhen will make another decision. The two Aiqing are tired of traveling, go back and rest. ”

"Yes, the minister retired." The two saluted together and left.

On the back foot, Qin An entered the internal pilgrimage to see. The former virtuous lord and loyal servants reunited, and Qin An saluted and cried: "Your Majesty - the slave saw that you have today, this is worth the bitterness of half a year of exile in the Southern Wilderness!" ”

Huo Jingcheng smiled and helped him: "Good Qin An, it's a skill to come back alive, haha-"

The master and servant cried and laughed, Qin An remembered the business after crying, and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know?" Where is Mrs. Ning? ”

Huo Jingcheng was stunned when he heard this: "Mrs. Ning? Ning Wanshu? ”

Qin An nodded hurriedly.

Huo Jingcheng saw that he looked serious and knew something was wrong, and asked, "Why did you suddenly mention her?" ”

Qin An said truthfully: "Your Majesty, on the way back to Beijing, the slave saw a woman who looked quite similar to her in Songfu City, but the woman was disheveled, ragged, and looked like a crazy woman on a street corner, and it seemed that her leg was also injured and she couldn't stand, and she was lying on the side of the street begging." The servant took a few glances when he passed by, and felt that it was like it, and felt that it was impossible at all, how could Mrs. Ning appear in Songfu when she was not in the East Palace? So the minions ignored it. ”

When the words fell, Huo Jingcheng's expression was alarmed, and he suddenly stood up: "That's her!" ”

Qin An's eyes widened: "Huh??" ”

Huo Jingcheng's eyebrows were worried: "Ning Wanshu also secretly ran out of the East Palace to look for me in the Southern Wilderness, and now I haven't returned yet, and I am just about to let Du Yan look for her along the way when he goes to the Southern Wilderness, who knows what you say......"

When Qin An heard this, his eyes widened even more: "Oops! So to speak? That woman is Mrs. Ning? But...... But how could she be miserable like that?? ”

"Naturally, something happened unexpectedly!" Huo Jingcheng didn't want to delay, and immediately said: "The commander of the forward battalion has entered the palace!" ”

On the same day, Huo Jingcheng once again launched the forward battalion and went to Songfu City to find people. And who this trip is looking for, only a few people know it in their hearts, and everyone else is unclear. But since things have come to this point, then the truth about Ning Wanshu can't be hidden.
