Two days later, in front of the elm table in the Song Mansion Hall, Cai Ling was staring at a bowl of black-brown decoction in a daze.

After a moment, she raised her hand and lifted the medicine bowl, a sour smell lingering on the tip of her nose, and she put it down in desperation.

The accompanying imperial physician suddenly ran out of the dining room in a hurry, and saw that she was sitting in front of the desk guarding a bowl of soup and medicine, and hurriedly came forward to check.

For some reason, seeing the menacing appearance of the imperial doctor, she actually reached out to protect the medicine bowl.

The imperial doctor approached and sniffed, and a hand behind Ben's back reached out, and the clay pot she was holding was the residue left after she boiled the medicine: "Dare to ask Madame if you know what medicine is in this jar?" ”

Cai Ling pulled the decoction back in front of her, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

The other party didn't expect her to reply like this, and she didn't know how to speak.

Outside the door there were already two people, one tall and one short, their short faces full of horror, and the tall ones stared at her coldly, all waiting for her answer.

"The girl knows that this bowl of medicine is full of herbs that invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, especially such a large dose of safflower and ...... Saussurea. The Imperial Physician couldn't help asking, "Dare to ask Madame how she could buy such a precious Tianshan Snow Lotus in this border land?" ”

Cai Ling couldn't help laughing, she was really an expert, she saw the preciousness of this bowl of medicine at a glance, and was about to drink it all in one go.

"Madame may be kind, but if you don't understand the properties of the medicine in advance, you give it to the second lady without authorization, the consequences will be very serious, and if you are small, you will have a slippery tire, and if you are big, you may be worried about your life!" The imperial doctor was about to snatch it, but a fierce look from her came, and the other party only put down his hand.

"Sister Ling." Liang Mingyue had already rushed over, holding her hand and saying sadly: "My sister will never believe this." Sister, do you have anything unspeakable? ”

She glanced at the stunning woman in front of her, and wondered if it was because she was pregnant, and suddenly felt that her face had added more kindness and gentleness. She has always liked gentle women, and she looks forward to the day when she will be able to be very knowledgeable and courteous, instead of being playful and unable to distinguish which is more important.

She showed a smile to Mingyue, raised her hand to raise the soup bowl, and just put her lips to the edge of the bowl, when she heard Shen Muchi, who was standing at the door, coldly ordered: "Wait......"

She sighed imperceptibly, and drank the potion with a grunt.

Yesterday, he accompanied Yu Moyan to visit Xiaochuan, and looked at their father and daughter's filial piety, and was especially envious, so he asked Yu Moyan if he would have a day as a mother if he recovered from his old illness.

Mo Yan warned her that she should take care of her body before thinking about other things, so she added another saffron to her prescription.

After drinking the medicine, the medicine bowl was still in his hand, and he saw two plums in the small plate next to him, Yu Moyan said that if he felt that the medicine was too bitter, he would eat two plums. As soon as she picked up the plum, her wrist was grabbed tightly, and her hand was weak, and the medicine bowl slid to the ground and shattered in half.

"Why is that?" She looked up at him.

"You're willing to drink it! Are you afraid that you won't be able to run if you are dragged down in the future? Although he tried his best to restrain his anger, he trembled with anger.

It must be a misunderstanding, she is suffering from a woman's disease, and she has dragged this disease for several months, and finally has a chance to eradicate it, of course, she must obey the words of the doctor, even if she really wants to give birth to an empathetic child like Yuan'er or Xiaochuan, Shen Muchi's child.

But Doctor Yu said that this matter must not be rushed, she can't be in a hurry.

Brother Yu said...... "She just spoke."

"Hmph...... Brother Yu ......," he smiled coldly, "It's kind." ”

"Young Master!" She was suddenly angry, and although she felt that it was extremely undeserved, it was difficult to control it: "Can you leave my business alone?" ”

The two of them were tense, their eyes were angry, and they were silent for a long time.

"Young master, don't be angry. Sister Ling must have something unspeakable. Liang Mingyue hurriedly stepped forward, broke away one of the hands he held on Cai Ling's wrist, and asked Cai Ling softly: "Sister, the young master, he also cares about you." Don't be angry. ”

Cai Ling withdrew her hand, and only said to the imperial doctor: "The medicine residue is left for you to do research, this girl is going to Peach Blossom Valley for a few days, and when she comes back, she may bring some snow lotus, safflower and deer fetus, etc., if you are afraid, please move out of the Song Mansion." ”

"Madam......" The imperial doctor's face was not good, and he only dared to lower his head.

At this time, Tao Tao and Meng Meng had just walked to the door of the hall, Cai Ling passed by them, and only glanced at Meng Meng coldly, too many emotions lingered in her chest, she had always been as calm as her, and she didn't know how to soothe her boredom.

"Sister Ling." Meng Meng took a burden, "Life in the house is too boring, I also want to accompany you to live in Peach Blossom Valley for a while." ”

"The eldest sister is going to do business. Don't make a mess. Tao Tao stopped.

Cai Ling put her hands behind her back and raised her chin: "Let's go." ”

He said to Tao Tao again, "Meng Meng is with me, don't worry too much." “

"I want to be with my eldest sister too." Tao Tao suddenly whispered, Cai Ling glanced at him, revealing a doting smile, and in an instant, he had walked quickly behind the big elm tree in the yard, and Meng Meng hurriedly chased after him.

"Eldest sister, she ......" Tao Tao looked at their backs and was helpless.

"Send two guards to follow." Shen Muchi commanded coldly.

In the Peach Blossom Valley, the snow is falling one after another.

Cai Ling introduced Manyun to Yu Moyan and said: "This is my sister Yu Manyun, if Brother Yu can restore her white face, I am willing to be a cow and a horse." ”

Yu Moyan observed Manyun's face for a moment, and only asked her if she was afraid of pain, she shook her head expectantly, Mo Yan said that this matter would take a few days, and said to Cai Ling that if she and Meng Meng were willing, they could also live in the Peach Blossom Valley temporarily.

She thanked Yu Moyan again and again, saying that there was still something in the house that she needed to go back to deal with, so she took Meng Meng out of the valley.

Manyun held hands and asked, "Sister, have you thought it through?"

The snow suddenly stopped, and the brilliant sun peeked out of the clouds, she smiled slightly, and gently patted Manyun's hands: "You just need to heal the scars in peace, don't remember the rest, I have my own plans." “

"Sister, be careful." Manyun frowned, and couldn't help but glance at Yang Mingmeng who was standing in the distance.

Cai Ling didn't look back, she walked very resolutely, leaving Manyun in the Peach Blossom Valley, and the next thing was to end that bad relationship.

If it weren't for Meng Ming, the Empress Dowager would not have become a huge obstacle between her and Shen Muchi.

If it weren't for Meng Ming, she might be the queen now, even if there is no one in the court, in the end there are two of the most important people in the inner court to support, and then how easy it is to encircle some important ministers in the court, she is also sure to sit firmly in the middle palace.

"Sister Ling, do you have something on your mind?" The donkey had just started the carriage, and Meng Meng asked softly.

She looked at the silver wrap through the slightly raised curtain, and after a while, she moved her gaze to her face, and the four eyes met, and the horror in her eyes was undoubtedly revealed, "Does my sister know something?" “

"Do you know that if I have to help you ascend to the throne, my ancestor will not abandon me." Cai Ling sighed.

"I'm ashamed." She lowered her eyes and stopped looking at Cai Ling's eyes.

"Do you know that although I have many friends in the capital, I only talk to your brother alone, and I will never let him have anything to do." The harvesting continued.

"I know. My sister and brother have always been in love. ”

"Hmm." Cai Ling pondered for a moment, "Do you remember the stories you heard when you were a child?" ”

"Emperor Taizu raised troops from Jinyang, it was your grandfather who led 3,000 soldiers who first broke through the gate of the Beijing Division, and then led 100,000 troops to expel the Tuoba Protector to a corner of the land. When I was a child, I had the privilege of meeting him once, and I still remember him saying, 'Those who are noble are loyal.'" I don't know if there is a family motto in your house, if there is, the first sentence he left must be to respect the ancestors and love the country. ”

"Sister Ling." Meng Meng muttered, Cai Ling waited for a while, but she didn't follow.

"Do you want to say that Shen Tai is also the royal family of the Southern Kingdom, and it is right to be loyal to him?"

Cai Ling closed her eyes and tried to keep her tone as flat as possible.

Speaking of the abolished prince Shen Tai, she was on fire in her belly, and after degrading herself to a concubine, she was assigned to the border pass, but instead of reining in, he fled to the northern country, recruiting troops and horses to overthrow the Tuoba clan and claim the emperor in the northern country.

Now its momentum should not be underestimated, and it has captured several cities successively, and it is about to approach the northern capital of the capital.

As a loser in rebellion, he was able to regroup and turn the tables against the wind in a foreign country, and devote himself to his career, which was actually very admirable to Cai Ling.

But on the contrary, every penny of the money he used to recruit troops and win people's hearts came from her business.

Yuan Jie lied that he was mining on the border, but it was not Yongzhou but Xunlin in the north, and every penny he earned was looted by Shen Tai.

When Manyun recounted this to her, she had just finished boasting about Yu Moyan's medical skills, and her eyes were still shining, and after listening to it, she squeezed the armrests of the chair with both hands, trying to stabilize herself.

Then, Manyun said: "According to the investigation, Miss Meng has a close relationship with the waste prince. ”

She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that when she was detained in the Qin Palace's mansion in September last year, Tao Tao took Meng Meng to see her, and Meng Ming's gradually thin body seemed to have been seriously ill, and there were tears in her eyes every time she spoke.

At that time, she thought that it was because Meng Meng misunderstood her relationship with Shen Muchi and secretly felt sad, but now she knew that what she was thinking about was the person who was exiled at the border.

She naturally knows how sad it is to love without being able to, but she still can't let Meng Meng go unchecked.

What the Empress Dowager is looking forward to now is nothing more than that the Yang family will continue to prosper, Tao Tao also pointed to the rank of Dingyuan General who is a five-grade general, how can she persuade her two sentences, besides, Shen Tai is not an infatuated person no matter how she looks at it, following him is precarious, she is a powerless Miss Jiaojiao, is really willing to leave everything behind?

"Sister knows everything?" Meng Meng showed a wry smile, "Now that my sister knows, I will tell you frankly, I am willing to give up everything for Brother Tai." ”

"Do you know the consequences?" Cai Ling said coldly, "You are willing to abandon everything, what about your father?" Serving the country for decades, is it in vain because of your will? What about your brother? The person who has cared for you since childhood, you are willing to see that his career is not smooth from now on, and I am afraid that he will only be able to live by guarding those few acres of land in the future. ”

"Isn't my sister also always thinking about leaving Weiyang Palace and living a carefree life?" Meng Meng was puzzled, "Why is it that I am now advised to focus on the overall situation." ”

"Because of your brother." Cai Ling sighed, "Of course, I don't have too many big ambitions, but if it involves the people I want to protect, I can't stand idly by. If you think about it carefully, is it the momentary spark collision between men and women that is important or the kinship is precious. If you love to read, you won't be unable to figure it out. “

"I ......" two lines of tears flowed down her little face when Meng Meng looked up, "I have paid too much for him, how can I give him up?" ”

"Even if you put most of your life into it, you must let go decisively when it's time to let go." Cai Ling persuaded.

"Sister Ling......" The delicate woman was already crying, "I'm sorry for your ......"

Cai Ling stared at the small burden in her hand and showed a wry smile, she expected it right, Meng Meng was ready to flee with her, and she could only take refuge in Shen Tai in the north.

Although she had no plans to live in the northern country for a long time, Shen Tai would have to meet for a while, after all, they still had a lot of accounts to settle.

"You send a code to the person who came to hijack it." Cai Ling commanded in a deep voice, "Don't hurt the innocent." I'll find a chance to escape from the car with you later. ”

"Sister Ling?" Meng Meng didn't know what she was thinking.

"There are some things that need to be settled." Cai Ling thought for a moment, and in an instant it was already a warning, "But after the matter is completed, you have to go back with me, just treat it as a dream, and don't mention it to anyone from now on." “

They fled in the name of resting twenty miles away from Huaiyuan County, although the donkey did not notice, the shadow guard appeared in front of her like lightning, and for a moment, she seemed to have given up on going back with them, but a group of black-clothed people emerged from behind, surrounded the four of them, and the leader said: "My general invited the girl to the mansion for a gathering." ”

Although Ying Wei knew that his fists were difficult to reach his four hands, he was still ready to let go of Yibo, but Cai Ling stretched out his hand to stop him: "The other party has no malicious intent, and it is okay for me to go with them." Don't follow along the way, go back and resume your life. ”

The shadow guard received the emperor's order, where was he willing to obey her, drew his sword out of the sheath, and was already a sword and sword shadow when he landed. Cai Ling sighed slightly, dragged Meng Meng onto the horse, and said to the black-clothed man who led the way: "Lead the way." ”

After traveling thirty miles to the north, no one chased him, so he changed his carriage in a certain county town and continued to go north.

Cai Ling glanced at the thoughtful Meng beside her, "I had no intention of killing Boren, but Boren died because of me." ”

The implication is that the two shadow guards who resisted to the death.

There was a look of guilt in her eyes.

Cai Ling said: "You have always had a soft heart, and you can't see others suffering. It's still like this to strangers, but have you ever thought that if you change to your father and brother? ”

Two lines of tears slipped down Meng Meng's face, and she had already raised her sleeves to wipe them, "In order to be with Brother Tai, I am not afraid of anything, and the Queen Mother must have a way to save my father and brother." Didn't my sister's Jiang Mansion also retreat in that palace change? ”

Cai Ling showed a wry smile: "I was secretly protected by someone at the time. ”

How did she not know that Shen Muchi set the wedding banquet on the third day of the ninth lunar month, and ordered her parents to greet her in the mansion, just to avoid Father Jiang from appearing in Weiyang Palace during the palace change.

"The Empress Dowager won't leave me alone." Meng Meng is very resolute.
