When Nalan Jinxiu saw Shen Congqian, she was even surprised for a moment. She felt like she had been completely reborn.

used to be calculating in her eyebrows and eyes, which made people not like it. Now, the sharpness in her eyes is gone, replaced by gentleness, especially when it comes to children.

Nalan Jinxiu remembered her words that day deeply, she said: "I have never felt so good in my life, Zhenbei Wangfu is already my home." I don't have any other requirements, I just hope that this kind of life will last a little longer, and I can spend more time with Yihan. ”

Nalan Jinxiu didn't know why she was so pessimistic, and asked her, she just shook her head. Then he said to her very deeply: "People live in the world like duckweed, where you can stay, it is not up to you to decide." The water is very powerful, it controls everything in the vicinity, and you can go wherever you want. ”

The implication of her words was that she was tired and did not intend to continue drifting. So if one day, the current becomes stronger, so that she can no longer resist, she will choose to break.

Nalan Jinxiu knew that there was a deep meaning in her words, but what she said was so implied that she couldn't guess what it was?

"Don't ask so much, but you have to remember that I won't do anything bad for the Zhenbei Palace. And, I'm going to maintain it, I'm going to protect the people here. ”

Nalan Jinxiu couldn't describe how she felt at the time, a little sad, but more satisfied. Human nature is good, and no one is born with the desire to be a bad person.

Some people are probably forced to be helpless, and some people are going astray. If you can stop them before they happen, or don't give up on them after they happen, they will be able to get back on track one day.

Xu Jinzhen looked at Nalan Jinxiu's distraction, and she was very unhappy, she shouted loudly: "I don't care, I just want you to take me." ”

Nalan Jinxiu couldn't help laughing out loud when she listened to her childish words, and then said in a childish tone: "You have to take care of Lian Ge and Yihan, they are still young, and you can't bully them anymore." Otherwise, I really won't take you to kite flying next spring. ”

Her answer may not have satisfied Xu Jinzhen, but it made her feel at peace. She always remembered her words, as long as she took those two children well and didn't bully them, in the spring, Nalan Jinxiu would come back and take them to fly kites together.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't know that this was the first time Xu Jinzhen believed in someone else's promise. In fact, when she was young, she also believed it. I believe that Daddy asked her to go to school, but she didn't expect to be sold to others as slaves.

When the housekeeper told her to ask her to go to Zuichun Mansion to ask the young master to come back, she also believed it, but she didn't know that they were going to sell her to Fengyue Place. She was just ten years old, and she couldn't do anything when she got to Fengyuedi, but she had to endure people's beatings and scolding.

Her master told her that as long as she survived, she must redeem her when she has money, and let her not be like her, let others be cheap. She believed it, too. But then his master left first, and he was bought back by a rich man to be a concubine.

She chased two whole streets behind the carriage, just to ask why he didn't take her with him, but her master told her that the rich man didn't want her, and she couldn't do anything about it.

She went to the rich man again, but the rich man said, "It's not that I don't want you, on the contrary, I want it." I think you look good, and you can sell it for a good price when you raise it, but she won't let you. ”

So she went back like a fool and asked the master, and the master told her: "They all say that the drama is ruthless and unrighteous." Indeed, I don't want to take you away, do you want to know why? Because you grow more and more beautiful, and if one day he takes a fancy to you, am I not nothing?"

She went back in despair, and found that there was nothing left of the private money she had saved. It turned out that her so-called master took all her money before leaving.

She doesn't trust anyone anymore, but she's not reconciled either. She still escaped from there, she wanted to leave her innocent body and find a good family in the future.

Anyone who made a promise to her, she took it as a deaf ear. Including after arriving at the Zhenbei Palace, she always wants to use interests to consider gains and losses. She didn't know that her father and brother didn't like her. But she didn't care.

She is not in good health, and she also feels that her time may not be long, and her temper is bad because she is giving up on herself a lot of the time. I didn't expect her to have a better day, which made her look forward to life again.

She also finally discovered that not all kindness will be expressed in nice words. Xu Jinsheng never gave her a good face, and even always used some agitation methods to get her to cooperate with the treatment.

At first, she hated it, too, but after a long time, she could understand her good intentions. For so many days, there were many times when she wanted to show her trust and liking her.

But every time she felt embarrassed. Only now, she knows that if she doesn't say it, she doesn't know when she will wait for the next time.

The carriage began to move slowly, and Nalan Jinxiu heard someone shouting: "Sister, I am waiting for you to come back in the palace." ”

Nalan Jinxiu laughed in a low voice, and finally lifted the curtain of the car and saw Xu Jinzhen standing in front of the palace. Compared to the grand doorway, she looked so thin. She waved at her, meaning goodbye.

They were both young and thought they would see each other again soon. But I don't know that the world is impermanent, and when we meet again, we have already endured all the hardships, and things are wrong.

After Nalan Jinxiu and his party arrived in Cloud City, they found that the situation seemed to be a little tense. Those who originally settled in Yuncheng have already been evacuated, and the whole city is under martial law.

"The painting skin of the Northern Yan Royal Court and Southern Chu began to fight back, and I have been plotted almost every day for the past half a month. Xu Jince's demeanor was serious, obviously the situation was not optimistic.

"Then why didn't you inform me earlier?" asked King Zhenbei.

"I have a feeling that this may be one of the few peaceful days. Xu Jince's words were very subtle, in fact, he already had a plan in his heart, this time the northern Xinjiang was afraid that it would be more auspicious.

"Is there a reply from Jinling?"

"No, I've already sent several urgent letters in a row, all of which have been lost, I'm afraid that the people in the court will choose to ignore them. ”

"Tell me about the current situation. ”

Xu Jince explained the current situation and his own speculation.

"You're saying that there may be an army from Southern Chu participating in the war?"

"We have been fighting with the Beiyan people for many years, and we know that they have always been brave and unscrupulous. This time they fought against me, obviously tactically, so I suspect that there are Nanchu people behind the scenes. ”

Nalan Jinxiu listened anxiously on the side, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't you say that Nan Chu had already taken care of it and restrained it?"

Xu Jince reached out and touched her head, and replied, "Do you remember their ** when they were injured by the explosion?"

Nalan Jinxiu nodded.

"At that time, I suspected the source of **, and this time I was sure that Nan Chu was involved. I suspect that Nan Chu must have reached an agreement with some important figure in the court. ”

The more Nalan Jinxiu listened, the more incredible it became, if this was the case, then wouldn't the northern frontier be dangerous? Besides, she really couldn't figure it out, why did the northern frontier become the target of public criticism, and even Daning himself had to watch the fire from the other side?

Xu Jince seemed to know what she was thinking, and he explained in a low voice: "Although the natural conditions of northern Xinjiang are a little worse, it is vast and can accommodate many people. There is nothing incomprehensible about the land of Nanchu that can be coveted.

As for those in charge of the Daning court, they probably hope that the Northern Xinjiang will be greatly injured in this battle, so that it will be convenient for them to control it. It's not that they won't take action, but they will wait until we have lost our troops. ”

Nalan Jinxiu felt that such a thing could indeed be done by those who fought in the party. Since Nan Chu is so blatant, it must be inevitable. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, can Southern Chu and Northern Yan live in peace? Impossible!

"Beiyan isn't worried, is it making wedding clothes for others in the end?"

Xu Jince looked at her approvingly, and said very nonsensively: "Father is right, many of your opinions are very sharp and can be said in one sentence." Northern Yan can't beat us, and naturally can't beat Southern Chu, so I don't think their alliance is invulnerable. ”

Nalan Jinxiu nodded: "Maybe this is a breakthrough point." ”

King Zhenbei sat quietly on the chair, listening to the two brothers and sisters talking, and his face gradually became solemn: "But Beiyan and Nanchu don't play cards according to common sense, and it is estimated that they will not pay attention to the battle between the two armies, and they will not be killed." Who is going to lobby is a big question. ”

It is not impossible for the king of Zhenbei to worry, according to the ferocity of the Northern Yan people who slaughtered the city before, they are likely to kill the people who went to lobby. This will shake the morale of the military.

"It could have been safe, but he was seriously injured and not healed. Xu Jince also made a difficulty.

Nalan Jinxiu thought about it sideways and said, "I don't know where Cousin Huan is?"

Speaking of Ji Honghuan, Xu Jince's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said, "It's really dark under the lights, how can I forget him." He is thoughtful and long-term, so he is naturally best suited to lobby. But ......"

He was worried that there would be danger, after all, he brought it out himself, and their relationship was extraordinary. For Yu Gong, Ji Honghuan is still young after all, less than twenty years old, so it is a great test for him to go to the enemy country during the war.

Privately, he regards him as a younger brother, and he usually loves him very much. If he is allowed to show his own sin, he really can't bear to be a brother. But now there is no one else but him.

"Brother, don't worry, I can take Mu Li with me. Nalan Jinxiu believes that as long as Mu Li is by her side, absolutely no one can hurt her. And Ji Honghuan is smart, and their hope for going together should be greater.

"Nonsense!" Xu Jince sank his face when he heard her words, and reprimanded sharply: "How can you be an envoy from your girl's family?"
