After nightfall, Xiao Yizheng sat in front of the stove, tired from the hard work of the past few days, but he couldn't sleep peacefully at the moment. It's just that he needs some time alone, just to wake up, just to be comfortable, to be away from all distractions.

Since the morning, the news of the return to peace has been coming back continuously.

She arranged for Zhao Xin to take the soldiers of the Heavenly Wolf Battalion overnight to control the queen's guards under the arrangement of the old prime minister; She went to the main hall with Zhou Yifeng and neatly took the queen's life; She audited the high-level military meeting in Guiping Country, and Guiping Kingdom promised to cooperate with Dacheng's military operations at any time to flank Danda; She was safe and sound......

It turns out that the four words safe and sound can bring him such a wonderful feeling. Just as a drowning person encounters driftwood, a long-term sick person encounters good medicine, and a person from hell suddenly ascends to heaven.

Xiao Yizheng closed his eyes and rubbed the purse in his hand, just thinking that this war would end as soon as possible, just wanting this non-stop thoughts day and night to fall into the arms of reality, and just wanting to protect her for the rest of her life.

He used to be dashing and free to come and go. In addition to the health of his father and brother, the stability of the country and the happiness of the people, he has never envisioned any vision for himself. I never thought that one day, I could really have such a happy desire.

This desire is like the pearl of the meander, the treasure of the southeast, as long as you think about it, it is happiness.

The door creaked open, the cold wind swept away, and the wind whimpered; The door quickly closed again, keeping out the cold.

"Moonshadow, I'm not hungry." I don't know when he has been observing everything around Qingxi, and he can even hear the footsteps of Moon Shadow.

Moon Shadow lowered the tray in her hand, and the steaming red bean porridge diffused with an enticing aroma. "It's a pity, when the princess has not yet left the cabinet, in such a winter day, she likes to drink a bowl of red bean porridge before going to bed. Now that there is a war, it is not easy to find red beans here, and it takes some effort. If the princess is here, she will be very happy. ”

He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the small bowl of porridge on the table, hooked the corners of his mouth, made an arc, and said softly: "I know that she is greedy." After thinking about it, his smile widened, and he continued softly: "It's not good to sleep either." ”

Moon Shadow moved the bowl to his hand, "The princess said that red beans are lovesick, so she likes it." ”

Xiao Yizheng raised his eyes and looked at the moon shadow, and said in his heart that this might not come from Qingxi's mouth, but it was difficult for them to have such thoughts. So, he held up the porcelain bowl and took two sips symbolically.

Seeing this, Moon Shadow was very proud in his heart, and he only knew that the trick he taught himself was really useful. Although she was extremely worried about Qingxi's safety, she was inexplicably sure that Zhao Xin was there, and she would be fine. Besides, the news kept coming back, and she was much more relieved. But her girl came to Beisu for His Royal Highness, if Xiao Yizheng's body changes again, wouldn't it make her sad again, so she has to do her part.

"Your Highness, and Miss Li, don't blame her. Today, the old man Bai of the Changfeng Dart Bureau led her to ask for sin, but you haven't seen it. I looked at Miss Li and felt very guilty. Actually, the princess's character, I know, don't talk about Miss Li, even the young master can't stop it. This journey is also thanks to the care of Changfeng Dart Bureau and Miss Li. It was also Miss Li who was detained by Old Man Bai, otherwise she would have gone with the princess to protect her at this time. Miss Li was very remorseful. ”

Xiao Yizheng put down the porcelain bowl and was silent.

He knew about this stubble, but he didn't see it because he was holding a military meeting at the time, and of course he also had a trace of resentment in his heart, even if he knew that Li Han was not to blame, Xie Zhi was not to blame, and Ling Qingsong was to blame, but who could he blame? The "initiator", how can he really be willing to blame?

For two days, he had only one faith in his heart: she would be safe.

And the person he was thinking about was standing under the eaves of the palace at this time, looking up at the moon.

Zeng Qidao couldn't say why, which made her very worried. Was he angry? She was very unsure. For such a problem, she has been struggling for a day. Last time, he was unhappy, and he used a bowl of lotus seed soup to solve the problem. Come to think of it, he wasn't too difficult to serve. Why don't you go back this time and do it again?

She was thinking like this, and Zhou Yifeng's voice came from behind her.

"The winter night is cold, why doesn't the princess enter the house?"

Qingxi turned around and smiled faintly, "Come to think of it, you can't sleep peacefully." ”

Zhou Yifeng smiled bitterly and nodded.

For him, the day of the people

The ups and downs are not insignificant. The so-called "Dynasty is the field of the house, and the twilight of the Tianzi Hall" is the most practical portrayal.

The imperial doctors are doing their best to treat Zhou Chaozong. Although he doesn't have much emotion for this father, he is connected by blood after all, and he hopes that he will be fine. Although he holds the edict of the jade seal in his hand, due to the current situation, the ceremony of enthronement and succession cannot be carried out immediately. But because of the support of the old prime minister, in fact, he has already grasped the power of Guiping. It's just that a person who has never been involved in political affairs can be a good master of a country, which he himself is probably the most skeptical.

"This time the princess helped each other, Yifeng is grateful, and it is unforgettable." Zhou Yifeng gave her a big salute.

Qingxi replied: "It's not that I help you, but Dacheng helps you to calm down." She paused and said sincerely: "It's just that although Zhou Gongzi has ascended to the throne, the road in the future is even more difficult. ”

Zhou Yifeng bowed his head, "I don't know if the princess believes that these 10,000 people are not seeking according to the wind." Before that, my wish was very simple, that is, to live a stable life with my sister, like thousands of people in the world, to be busy for firewood, rice, oil and salt, for the short quarrel of parents, for never to abandon each other, to have children, and to die in peace. He spoke softly and looked calm.

Qingxi listened quietly, as if there was a picture in front of him, and said softly for a while: "It sounds very beautiful." ”

"But I can't sit idly by and ignore my mother's advice."

Qingxi didn't interrupt him, she knew it should be another long story.

Zhou Yifeng's biological mother is a native of Dacheng Beisu, beautiful and soft, and she is also the pillar of the singing class. When Zhou Chaozong was young, he often went out on patrol in micro-clothes, went to Dacheng North Suzhou to play, and met and fell in love with him as soon as he came and went. After Zhou Chaozong inherited the throne, he also kept his promise to receive people into the Beisu Palace, but because he was an adult, he was not noble when something happened, but he was only crowned as a lady. However, Zhou Yifeng's mother was considerate of him at the time and was very satisfied, and soon became pregnant. It was also at this time that Zhou Chaozong was in danger when he was out on patrol, and was rescued by Suerle, both of whom were young, and they hit it off at first sight, in order to repay the grace of saving his life, and also to be friendly with Danda, he married Kuerle's sister and became the queen. However, Su Erle's sister has a strong temperament, and she can't tolerate Zhou Yifeng's mother, so she provokes and harms her many times. Zhou Chaozong had a weak personality, and he also felt that his wife Ru was also soft and kind, and he must have been bullied in the palace for a long time, so he moved his mind to send him out of the palace, live elsewhere, and visit and take care of him in the dark. Who knows, Zhou Yifeng's mother has a gentle temperament on weekdays, but she can't accept it in this matter, she knew that Zhou Chaozong had this idea, and without waiting for his arrangement, she resolutely found an opportunity to leave Guiping and return to Beisu, when she was six months pregnant. Beisu is Dacheng's territory in the end, and Zhou Chaozong is not good at blatantly seizing people and returning to peace. can only take care of it secretly until Zhou Yifeng is born. His mother was afraid that Zhou Chaozong would forcibly take away the child, so soon after Zhou Yifeng was born, with the help of his senior brother, she left Beisu and went to the east, and the four seas were her home, and she did not return to Beisu until her death. t.

"I only learned about my background when I was ten years old, and it was at that time that I met the old prime minister, and I have kept in touch ever since." Zhou Yifeng took a deep breath: "Mother still has affection for him, otherwise he has never said a word of no's for so many years." Otherwise, for so many years, the master has been taking care of us, and she has not remarried. When she was dying, she took my hand and told me: He is your father, you always have to recognize him. ”

Qingxi sighed lightly: "Lingtang, it's not easy. ”

This story spanning many years is sad, how can these three words be exhausted.

Zhou Yifeng lowered his head slightly: "Today's court, in fact, I don't want to hurt the queen." That dagger, I used it for self-defense. I don't know how to get it, thinking that my mother has not been easy for many years, the knife also stabbed out. He looked at his hands and muttered, "This is the first time I've killed someone, and my hands are no longer clean." ”

Seeing him like this, Qingxi could also understand, so he was silent, waiting for him to adjust his emotions.

After a while, she said softly: "Ling Zun is weak all his life, and it is not appropriate for a person to be like this." ”

Zhou Yifeng looked up at her, first confused, and then understood.

She smiled softly and asked, "What about the pity?" She's been with you since she was a child? ”

When it comes to Zhixi, Zhou Yifeng's expression is much more relaxed and soft, "Zhixi's life experience is similar to mine, and her mother is an outward who can't see the light." For a while, we

It's neighbors. Her biological father later ignored their mother and son. So the master and mother also took pity on her. ”

Mentioning Zhixi, Qingxi was relieved: "Don't worry, she is safe in Beisu at this time." ”

"Naturally. The princess let her stay in Beisu for her safety. ”

Qingxi smiled: "I'm selfish, don't you see it?" ”

Zhou Yifeng is not stupid, he knows that leaving Zhixi in Beisu is also a means to restrain himself. It's just that this is not contrary to his original intention, and he agrees with it. It's just that now, Qingxi said it so unabashedly, which surprised him.

"The princess is really extraordinary."

Qingxi didn't care about this compliment, and only asked: "I always have a question: Why don't you chant the words of farewell?" ”

Zhou Yifeng also remembered everything in Meijinglou that day, and said frankly: "Actually, it's just because my mother doesn't like it." ”

Qingxi thought about it a little and could understand it. "Lingtang named you Yifeng, it should be taken from the meaning of Daima Yifeng, and I don't know which hometown she misses."

She was full of sighs.

I don't know if I feel cold in my body or cold in my heart. She wanted to return to the warmth, and said firmly: "Rest early, in a few hours we will be pulling out and going to the battlefield." ”

Beisu came with the news that the Northwest Army would launch a general attack on Danda tomorrow, and there was another icing on the cake, that is, Gao Fan and Kuli also sent some soldiers and horses, although the number was limited, but it was also an attitude.

"The princess shouldn't go, right? You, like me, should just stay in Guiping and wait for news. The Northwest Army will definitely win. ”

Qingxi was noncommittal, leaving only a shallow smile and turned back to the inner hall.
