"As a last resort?" Shi Zhongyu showed doubts on his face, and wanted to continue asking, but he pursed his lips again and nodded: "Okay!" I know! ”

"Do you want to go back now? I'm afraid that your three points of land won't be able to support you, if not, you will stay in the Jin Palace, okay? Seeing Shi Zhongyu nodding, Lin Mu'er continued, he had the intention to keep him, but he also had to nod and agree.

"Stay... Stay in the palace! Shi Zhongyu was stunned, and he stammered when he spoke, staring at Lin Mu'er with wide eyes in disbelief, one hand supporting the armrest on the chair, as if trying to stabilize his body!

"That's right! Give you an errand and stay in the palace! Lin Mu'er said affirmatively.

Shi Zhongyu slowly put down the hand he was holding, his heart was pounding, licking his somewhat chapped lips, and slowly digesting the words of the princess: Stay in the palace? Errand? Not going back to the village? What about my land? No, no, no, will Dad agree? No, no, my father won't take care of it, but what can I do if I stay in the palace?

Seeing that Shi Zhongyu had been silent and did not speak, and Lin Mu'er did not urge, this kind of major event must be considered clearly, and leaving home is a difficult choice for everyone.

"But, Niangniang, my legs and feet are not good, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything in the palace, I..." After thinking for a moment, Shi Zhongyu opened his mouth with some embarrassment, with his own appearance, when he walked out, he was afraid that he would lose the face of the palace, right?

Lin Mu'er shook his head and said with relief: "It's okay, you can do some work in the mansion, if you agree to stay, Fu Ye will help you arrange it, you can rest assured!" ”

Shi Zhongyu nodded, knowing that the princess could keep herself, it must also be for the sake of her mother's face, and if she could stay in the palace to work, it would be a step to the sky for herself! If the people in the village knew about this, they didn't know how many people's jaws would be shocked! What's more, in the future, you don't have to be hungry and full, you can eat and dress warmly, think about it, it's still good!

"Then where is my father..."Shi Zhongyu glanced at Lin Mu'er a little cautiously, feeling that he was a little greedy, the mother had already given grace and let herself stay, but she was still thinking about her family, but she didn't know what it meant to lift!

"Don't worry about this, if you stay, if you want to come, you won't need your three points of land, so just return it to your father! In addition, after all, he raised you so big, I will send someone to send him some silver, just when you honor him and give him a pension! Lin Mu'er said carefully, Lin Mu'er has never had a good impression of Shi Zhongyu's father, maybe the two have similar experiences, such a father who has no flesh and blood affection, Lin Mu'er doesn't want to be too careful, so he just rewards some silver!

"Good! Then I, then I'll stay! Shi Zhongyu seemed to have made a lot of determination, nodded at Lin Mu'er, thought about it and asked, "If, if, I want to go back one day, can I go?" ”

Lin Mu'er smiled and nodded: "Of course!" I'm just asking you to do an errand in the palace, not letting you sell yourself, if you want to leave, I won't stop you! ”

Shi Zhongyu breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this is the palace, and he is a native bun from the countryside

, In case you don't get used to it, you must still go home, listening to the princess assuring herself, she is also a lot more relieved at the moment, and her face is relaxed.

"In that case, you go to Fu Ye first, he will arrange for you to live in the palace, if you have been wronged by something, you can also come to me! You know? Lin Mu'er was a little uneasy, and admonished.

The palace is no better than the countryside, everything must be done according to the rules, even if he is the son of Xie's mother, but there is no guarantee that someone will make a stumbling block in secret, for the sake of Xie's mother's face, he still has to protect him more after all.

"Hey! Good! I know! "Shi Zhongyu promised simply! Since I was a child, no one has ever supported myself like this, and this princess who is so noble actually said that she would support herself, and for a while, Shi Zhongyu also felt a little more confident! Although I just knew that my mother was gone, I was inevitably sad in my heart, but after this incident, I didn't have any emotions, after all, since I was a child, I have never seen my mother, but now, because of the relationship between my mother, I stepped into the sky and entered the palace to do things, and the princess and mother have to support themselves.

Watching Shi Zhongyu limp away, Lan Xue shook her head and said softly: "The rules of this stone in the jade, but you have to learn hard!" ”

"Leave it to Fu Ye!" Lin Mu'er also nodded: "He is so big that he is nested in the ravine, he doesn't understand the rules of the palace, take his time, in the end, I don't expect him to be of any great use, give him a bowl of full rice, and don't let him be bullied!" ”

"Yes!" Lan Xue should reach out and help Lin Mu'er who got up: "Master, do you want to go back and rest?" ”

"Rest! Headache! Lin Mu'er didn't refuse, and nodded in response.

After all, life has to go on, and if you live well, you will not be in vain to thank your mother for her hard work in sacrificing her life to save her!

bamboo forest

There were still only two braziers in the house, but the windows were opened, and the cold wind rushed in from the outside, and roamed freely in this not warm house!

On the long desk, an inkstone, a few brushes, a stack of letters, Gu Moyan sat with his back straight, I don't know what he was writing, and there was a bowl of slightly steaming Chinese medicine on his left hand, and the heavy bitter and astringent taste was spread in this deserted room.

"Master!" Fan Yi pushed the door in, still holding a note in his hand: "There is news in southern Xinjiang!" ”

Gu Moyan paused the tip of his pen, did not raise his head, and a hoarse voice sounded in the room: "Read!" ”

Fan Yi didn't pause, twisted his fingers, rubbed off the sealing wax, carefully opened the note, and read: "200,000 troops in southern Xinjiang are assembled at the border!" As if he didn't believe his eyes, Fan Yi opened his eyes wide after reading it, looked at it again, and after confirming that it was correct, he asked a little puzzled: "Master, this..."

Gu Moyan also stopped writing, his sword eyebrows were furrowed, but he snorted lightly, put down the pen in his hand, took the Chinese medicine on the side, and drank it all: "Eventful!" ”

Fan Yi was a little puzzled, looking at Gu Moyan's solemn face, careful

asked: "Isn't this princess of Southern Xinjiang still in the capital, how can Southern Xinjiang be..."

"Sue!" Gu Moyan's eyes were full of ridicule: "But he just wants me to accept his feelings!" ”

Fan Yi was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said with a smile: "Then this time, Southern Xinjiang has made a bloody investment!" can be regarded as offending our emperor! ”

Gu Moyan didn't respond, picked up the pen, and continued to write, but his tone was light: "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, how do you know that this is not ironclad evidence that the master collaborated with the enemy?" ”

Fan Yi's smile was fixed on his face, and he was also remorseful in his heart: Yes, after all, Southern Xinjiang is a foreign country, and now that Su Yi's army is pressing the border, it looks like he is helping the master to put pressure on the emperor, but taking a step back, this is also forcing the master to unite with him! This Su Yi is really calculating!

"There's news!"

Gu Moyan suddenly spoke up, startling Fan Yi, who was secretly slandering on the side, retracted his thoughts, and hurriedly replied: "Not yet, Luo Chuang sent another team of people to Chixia Valley yesterday to see if they can find it." ”

"Where's the right one?"

"It's still news from a few days ago, and I haven't received a letter today. However, I think, master, or let's make a piece ourselves, anyway, our ironclad army doesn't look at that thing, it's just an ornament, Wang Xian... We... Also...."Fan Yi was talking about it, but when he saw Gu Moyan's eyes were heavy, he glanced at it like this, and Fan Yi had to swallow the following words word by word, and didn't dare to say any more.

"If the talisman is lost, this one alone is a capital offense, not to mention, you have to make a talisman privately!" Gu Moyan's tone was cold, and his eyes were deep: "If it is, the talisman has been returned to the emperor, it is a great crime to deceive the king, and it is unforgivable!" ”

"But we!" Fan Yi retorted a little unwillingly, and felt that it was inappropriate, so he muttered in a low voice: "We are not afraid of him, what does he do!" ”

Hearing this, Gu Moyan's face was as cold as ice, and his voice was as cold and hard as if it had been quenched with ice: "Xiaowei is now short of manpower, if not, you can go there!" ”

"Subordinates know their mistakes!" Fan Yi dared to say more, knelt on one knee, and a cold sweat broke out on his back! Ye is angry, he blames himself for this broken mouth, he can't control it!

Gu Moyan didn't look at him, just put down his pen and walked to the window, the biting cold wind blew people's skin painfully, Gu Moyan, who was already wearing thin clothes, was even more cold, for a long time, and snorted softly: "He is the king, I am the minister, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!" ”

Fan Yi's head hung lower, but he was a little indignant in his heart, what a bullshit monarch, the prince died on the battlefield nine times a lifetime, defending the territory for him, and his military achievements were outstanding, but in the end, he was designed to frame him in Chixia Valley, if it weren't for the prince's life, the grass on the grave would be half a person tall! Return the cat crying mouse fake mercy, not to mention the beautiful funeral of the master, and return the family affair of the master to marry Menlaoshizi!

No, baa Ye is not a mouse! Ye is a cat with nine lives, I think at the beginning, I and a few other guards, in the Chixia Valley for half a night, before the master turned out of the pile of dead, all over the body, none of them are good, there are four or five arrow wounds alone, the whole person, like

It was soaked in a pile of blood, and the clothes stuck to the body, and it took a knife to scrape it off! A few people carried the master, hiding in Tibet, and there was no place to recuperate from his injuries, so he looked for a few doctors, and they all said to prepare for the future! Rao is like this, the master just hung his breath and did not give up, until he met Master Chen, which can be regarded as picking up a life. But it also left a hidden disease, the injury was too serious, and it dragged on for too long, and the internal organs were hit hard, and now it looks like nothing, but in the future, the life expectancy, I'm afraid it won't be long!

Thinking of this, Fan Yi couldn't help but grit his teeth fiercely: If it is Mingjun, he will throw his head and spill blood, and he will not give up! But if you are a faint king, what do you say about loyalty and courage!

"Is everything on the Ironclad side?" After a long time, Gu Moyan suddenly spoke.

"It's all in order, although Wang Xian and the others have been demoted, and now the commander of the army is the brother-in-law of the squire of the military department, but he is a straw bag with great achievements, and there are several supervising soldiers, and they have also arranged for people to monitor them, and they can't set off any storms!" Still kneeling on the ground, Fan Yiyu reported.

"What about Chaozhong, can you get in touch?"

"It's basically ready, but we've been away from the capital for a long time, and we can get in touch very little!"

Gu Moyan nodded, his eyes were dark, his eyes became sharper and sharper, and he said with ridicule: "It's okay, in this case, I should also go back to Beijing to take the blame..."
