Chapter 213: Crisis
The night is gloomy, and what flows next to the desk is the long-lost anxiety and solemnity.
Yi Zhixing stared at the information recorded in the urgent letter on the case for a long time, which was the route of the Xun generals to kill the Quartet, all the way to the south, obviously towards the territory of the Yin State. The general of Xun recorded in this urgent letter is afraid that it is Sui Jing, over the years, Sui Jing's reputation has often spread to the Yin Palace, coupled with the more boiling rumors recently, people have to look at Xun and its famous Sui general.
It is said that after Sui Jing took advantage of the last trace of value of Mu State, he actually teamed up with the newly appointed murderous monarch of Xun State to frame the leader of Mu State, Mu Rong, and when he learned that his father died tragically in the conspiracy constructed by his husband, Mu Xilin died with hatred.
The original relationship of respect for each other finally came to an end, and Sui Jing didn't even shed a single tear. Therefore, after hearing this rumor, Yi Zhixing kept asking Zhi Lan's attitude towards Sui Jing, and Yi Zhixing was extremely worried that the purpose of Sui Jing's march all the way south was not only to plunder resources, but to encroach on a certain beautiful woman here.
At this time, the Son of Heaven suddenly closed the letter in his hand on the case, inexplicably mixed with his eyebrows, he couldn't hold his head for a long time, not only because of Xun Guo's unstoppable development, but also with Jing's unstoppable ambition.
The next day, Zhi Lan wanted to wait for Yi Zhixing to ask him for an explanation when he visited, and Li Falcon followed closely behind, trying in vain to regain his dignity in front of the Son of Heaven, but the two waited left and right, and the two did not wait for the Son of Heaven after all.
"The Emperor of Rausch! Could he have been able to get a glimpse of what the two of us were saying, and how could he be counted down, and he would not dare to show up like a shrunken turtle? ”
Li Falcon was indignant, he was unwilling to let the opportunity to teach Yi Zhixing a lesson was lost in his hands in vain, after all, such a good time is not always available, he really wanted to see Yi Zhixing's disgraced appearance.
It's a pity that today's trip to Yi never made him get his wish.
Not only during the day, but also at night, the Son of Heaven was never seen, and no news came. Accustomed to the existence of Yi Zhixing, but now this habit has suddenly been taken away from Zhilan's life, she has always been unhappy, and she is absent-minded when she does things.
"Yo, what's going on? Did Mother Zhi remember Your Majesty? ”
Suddenly, a joking voice came from behind, and Zhi Lan put down the half-spilled flask in his hand. Looking back, it was Aluro and Abu.
"Nonsense! Where did you see me thinking of Your Majesty? What does it matter to me whether he comes or not? ”
"Mother Zhi, Luo'er hasn't said anything yet, how do you know that Luo'er is talking about the fact that the Son of Heaven didn't come today? If you don't have this in your heart, how can you blurt it out? ”
Aluro laughed as he was helped to sit down by Abu beside him. Abu made tea for her, Abu squeezed her shoulders, Abu made a fan for her, and in short, Abu did it for her, except for not helping her speak. Such scenes naturally made 'old women' like Zhi Lan who had never deeply experienced the true feelings of the world envious, but seeing her blushing face, she said in a snort: "I really don't care...... He is the emperor, whether he comes or not is his will, and who can reverse what? ”
Having said that, Aluluo on his side could clearly see the loneliness and disappointment escaping from Zhilan's drooping eyes.
The next moment, Alulo put his hand on it, and then patiently calmed down.
"Oh, okay, Mother Zhi, you don't have to worry, Your Majesty is not deliberately treating you coldly, but there has been a big event in front of you recently, and the war is raging, Your Majesty may not have time to set foot here, and when the war stops, Your Majesty can also come to accompany you." If you really miss him, you might as well marry straight into the palace, so that the two of you don't have to separate the two places. ”
As the words fell, Zhi Lan raised his head, his pupils slightly worried.
"What? Fighting ahead? Where is the war? Does it matter? ”
At this time, seeing Aluluo's expression suddenly solemn and solemn, Zhi Landeng's heart tightened. On the one hand, she was worried about Yin Jun's mood, and on the other hand, she was worried that this unknown war would invade her homeland again, Zhilan was still selfish, and she hoped that everything would be fine in Xun Kingdom.
"Zhilan, I don't know if you've heard the rumors lately. By the way, you seem to be from Xunguo, right? In fact, the most important factor in the chaos of the war this time is because of the ambition of the tyrant of Xun State after taking office, Xun State was only attacking the land of projectiles at first, and after its own strength was strong, it aimed its ambitions at the territory of the big country, they went all the way south, burning, killing and looting, and did all kinds of evil, not only hurt the vitality of Luo'er's mother country, but also wanted to march towards the big country in the south, that is, our Yin country. ”
Hearing this, Zhi Lan was in tremor for a long time, how could she not have expected that the feng shui would take turns, and the homeland that had been wantonly abused by people was born out of nowhere, and became a 'wicked person' on the map of the world in a few years, and the bad behavior of the great country that Zhi Lan once hated the most was actually fulfilled in her home country, and the most beloved homeland was contaminated with the most disgusting acts, which is undoubtedly shocking.
"Really? I...... I've always lived in Qingwu Building, and I often don't hear such rumors...... I really didn't know there was so much turmoil out there......"
"Not only is the national army of Xun State cruel and vicious, but I also heard that the general of Xun State is also tyrannical, and even killed his wife's biological father, whose wife heard this evil news and killed herself, and heard that there was a child in her belly when she died."
"General Sui? You...... Do you mean Sui Jing? ”
"I don't know the exact name, what? Mother Zhi, is General Sui Jing your old friend? ”
"No...... No! I don't know him, but I just seem to have heard of his name in the rivers and lakes......"
Zhi Lan hurriedly denied it, as if she didn't want to have anything to do with Sui Jing. But Sui Jing's actions are undoubtedly more terrifying than the rise of Xun Kingdom, even if Sui Jing's choice was not herself, but Zhi Lan has never associated his image with cruelty, until now, she realized that everything around her seems to be really wrong without her knowledge, about Sui Jing's actions, until a long time later, Zhi Lan couldn't fully believe it.
"By the way, Aluluo, you seem to be saying that the generals of the Xun Kingdom are heading all the way south and preparing to march here?"
"That's right, the direction of their attack now is indeed like this, so Your Majesty is so worried that you can't come here to visit you, so Mother Zhi, you don't have to blame Your Majesty, Your Majesty is also bitter and can't say it, who can know that Xun Guo is secretly working hard and quietly growing in a place where no one notices? Nowadays, everyone in each country is in danger, and they are afraid that the rise of Xun will use their country's territory and people as a stepping stone. ”
Alulo chattered, and Shiba fell into deep thought for a long time. Now she finally understood everything that Yi Zhi had asked her about Sui Jing yesterday, and it turned out that he had foreseen that Sui Jing's army would march here. I have to admit that after hearing this news, Zhi Lan's mind did enter Sui Jing's long-lost figure, this time Zhi Lan has been focusing on Yi Zhixing's body, if Sui Jing has not appeared in the rumors, if the rumors have not reached Zhi Lan's ears, maybe Zhi Lan can completely leave Sui Jing behind in the near future. But the reality has been reversed, and the fates of Zhilan and Sui Jing seem to be intertwined again.
"Mother Zhi, okay, today I'm here to find you to catch up, let's not talk about these heavy topics, we are just ordinary people, we can't manage the big things in their court, it's better to live in peace, no matter which country rises, at least it's enough for our Yin country to live in peace for the time being."
Alulo grabbed the hand of the person in front of him, and Zhilan's mind finally pulled out of her thoughts about Sui Jing.
"Yes, you're right, now we can't care about anything, it's better to live our current life, and it can be regarded as living up to this life. Especially you, now that you are pregnant, you must take good care of yourself, but don't get sick or sick, it's not worth it. ”
"I know that I will take good care of my body, so when are you going to give birth to a little prince for our Yin Kingdom? I can tell you that now in this court because of the emergency of war, the courtiers are all in fear, in a dangerous situation, the Son of Heaven has no heir to inherit the unification, this is undoubtedly anxious, not to mention this group of old ministers, even I am worried about Your Majesty. ”
Zhi Lan suddenly withdrew her hand and immediately lowered her head, the two beside her did not know what her true face was at this time.
"What do you say...... What does this matter to me? I don't have a relationship with Yi Zhixing, why do you want me to give birth to a little prince in the future? ”
"Mother Zhi, what you said is not right, you don't want to give birth now, or that your old relationship with Your Majesty has been broken, and you don't want to renew the old relationship for the time being, but you have to know that Your Majesty will have to take on the responsibility of reproducing the royal family one day, he can hide for a while, but he can't hide for a lifetime, if the woman next to Your Majesty is forced to give birth to an heir in the future, are you still willing at that time? Can you really not regret the decision you made today? There are more people who want to give birth to a prince to the Son of Heaven, if you don't seize the opportunity again, it will not be you who will be the woman who accompanies Your Majesty in the future. ”
Aluluo said earnestly, according to her, if you want to completely retain the dragon's heart, the first thing to do must be to give birth to a prince.
Although her words were a little uncomfortable, Zhi Lan finally listened to them, she had to think of the moment she knew that Sui Jing's wife was pregnant, her heart was really painful, she didn't dare to put such associations on the body of Yi's wife in the future, or Zhi Lan didn't want to depict the appearance of another beautiful woman next to the Son of Heaven in the future, in fact, her possessiveness was stronger than she imagined.
"Mother Zhi, you must think about it carefully, after all, Your Majesty is a talent, and you have never promised to marry others, so it is better to fulfill this old relationship."
The purpose of Alulo's visit today was simple, to persuade Zhilan's already wavering heart. When Yi Zhixing knew that he couldn't pull away recently, he sent the couple of Aluluo to admonish Zhilan, even when Yi Zhixing was forced to live in the palace, he wanted Zhilan to think about himself all the time. Of course, it was indeed unexpected for Alluluo to confide in Sui Jing at this time, after all, he didn't want Zhi Lan to know about Sui Jing's achievements and ambitions so quickly, and more importantly, Yi Zhixing didn't want Zhi Lan to know the fact that Sui Jing's wife had died from beginning to end, which was undoubtedly adding the possibility of the old relationship between Zhi Lan and Sui Jing.
"Aluluo, let me think about it first, I still want to think about it for a while...... But...... I think the answer will soon reach the ears of the Son of Heaven. ”
Through Alulo's clever admonition, Zhilan, who thinks very highly of herself, finally realizes that she may lose the sense of crisis of the Son of Heaven, and she doesn't want the fate of missing Sui Jing to happen again in her life with Yi Zhixing.
