This person has been really weird lately, he can't be stimulated by anything, right? Could it be that Jiu Lan just scolded him?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly sat down and comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't be too angry, Jiu Lan is about to go and kiss, out of sight, out of mind." ”

He glanced at me, and in his eyes... Some......... Contempt?!

Before I could savor his gaze, he spoke, "The mission will enter Beijing in a few days, and General Han will come to Beijing to report on his work the day before the peace ceremony. These were originally entrusted to the Ministry of Rites, but the queen has been there once, and I can rest assured. ”

After saying that, he looked at me expectantly.

Heh, you just toss me," Your Majesty doesn't have to remember, all the processes and details of the Ministry of Rites will be sent to the concubines after they are finalized. The concubine is right and right, Your Majesty is relieved. ”

He nodded when he heard this, remembered something again, and said to me, "Send the one in your palace with you, and I will be upset next time I go to your palace." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what he said.

I told him a lot of things, and I took my leave from him.

On the way back to Chonghua Palace, I kept thinking that just now he didn't agree or refute my proposal to lift the ban on Concubine Li, and the general ambiguous attitude was to agree. I told Zhiyu to turn around and lift Concubine Li's grounding, after all, General Han was coming back soon.

When I thought that General Han had returned, I almost immediately thought of the third brother guarding Beiguan.

This time, we can only see each other when we send the missions to Beijing, and when we leave, we will be alone. When I come back this time, I don't know if I can bring a third sister-in-law back.

It is taboo for the harem to contact foreign ministers without authorization, and I have very little correspondence with him, usually my mother will bring me a few letters, and the third brother generally has more contact with the family.

When I returned to the palace, I didn't forget what he explained, and quickly summoned Zhifei.

I haven't seen her in a few days, and she's still so charming.

She put her hand on her chest and asked me what I commanded.

I thought about the wording, "Zhifei, you must know the news that Jiulan is going to get married soon." ”

"Back to the queen's words, the slave heard about it."

I smiled at her, "It's good to know, you are also from the princess's mansion, and the people around Jiu Lan can't use it, so I asked the palace to change a batch, and they are all fresh faces." She went to the Huns alone and was not familiar with the place of life, and she lacked an acquaintance, and it just so happened that you also had Hun blood, so it was better to ......"

I saw her staring, her lips trembling slightly, and before I could react, she knelt down with a thud, fell on the ground and trembled and said: "Please don't drive the queen away!" ”

This? Be? What's wrong?

"What are you doing here? If you go, you will be married to the princess, and your status will rise, why don't you want to? ”

She didn't raise her head, but still lay on the ground and said loudly: "Queen Mother, the slave and maid don't want any status and glory by your side!" ”

She raised her head, tears on her face, "The slave maid has been in Chonghua Palace for so long, and she can't leave it!" Mother, please don't drive the slaves away! Please! I beg you ......"

She started kowtowing and begging me.

To be honest, I'm confused right now.

Why was she so excited, and I couldn't see that she had such deep feelings for me. She should be closer to Jiulan, huh?

I don't know what to do with her.

But His Majesty's request ......

I almost wanted to scratch my head, "You go down first, and then think about it." ”

She got the order, got up silently, said goodbye, and left.

It's so confusing to me, I'm the person who is most afraid of other people begging me for small things. Her attitude and words were so hard for me to refuse.

Why didn't she want to go to the Huns? I got up with my chin propped up and paced back and forth in the room.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, will he ......

was thinking about the sketch and suddenly came, "Mother! Oh no! Something happened! ”

I was startled and hurriedly asked him what was wrong

"You just left with your front foot, and your back foot is urgently reported to the palace, Your Majesty urgently summoned the cabinet ministers and the military department to enter the Shang study room to meet you!"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" After saying that, I was stunned, and the only thing that was so urgent at the moment was ......

And kissed.

"The minion heard seven or eight, probably ...... Probably ........."

I hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed him and asked, "What is it?!" Hurry up! ”

His face twisted into pieces, he bowed violently, and said tremblingly: "The mission was intercepted by the mountain bandits when it went to Jiangguan Valley...... Hungary......... The Hun princess and ...... Tutor... The general's life and death are uncertain! ”

With a bang, there was a thunderclap in my ears, and the aftershocks hit the top of my head, and my head seemed to be split into paste in an instant.

Everything around me faded like a tide, and I was the only one standing there. I just feel that I can't hear clearly, I can't see anymore, and I can't stand steadily.

His eyes were black, and he was instantly top-heavy. After reacting, Zhiyu had already supported me, and I slowed down and shook my head. I heard Zhiyu shouting at me, "Niangniang! Empress! Don't be afraid, the third young master must be fine if he is so powerful! Empress! You're scaring me! ”

I pushed myself to my feet and waved my hand at her, I took a few deep breaths, a few breaths of cool air in my lungs, and I forced myself to compose.

How so?! Why was it suddenly robbed by mountain bandits?!

I pushed them away and walked out, and the little piece knelt down and dragged me.

"! Don't go! Your Majesty is deliberating! You can't go in! Zhiyu also stopped me crying and shook her head at me.

Fu Jiaoyao, calm, calm.

I slowed down, paced in place, walked back and forth a few times, and began to think carefully about the crux of the matter.

Not to mention that I don't believe that the third brother can turn evil into good fortune, just saying that he was robbed by mountain bandits is incredible.

Although the third brother is only a small general, he has also walked countless times on the battlefield with the Hun army all the year round, which is not something that mountain bandits can threaten at all.

There is only one possibility.

The mountain bandits caught them off guard.

The mission and escort army are extremely large, it is impossible to be improvised, it must have been obtained in advance, but how could the thieves in the mountains of the Heqin route know about it casually?

I'm almost sure of one thing. It's not someone who did it on purpose, whether it's the Huns or our dynasty. Some people don't want the peace envoy to enter Beijing smoothly, and now, this mistake may be grasped by the Xiongnu and magnified infinitely. The suppression of bandits is ineffective, the ability is insufficient, and countless hats are buttoned down, which is enough to attack us.

There is a real reason to fight again on a large scale, after all, they broke a princess.

Will it be the Huns? At the cost of a princess?

I can't help but smile bitterly, in the face of the real war between the two countries, a woman is nothing.

But no matter which side of the hand, they will definitely make a dead hand, not to let the princess survive, they can take the opportunity to make the Huns difficult, isn't the third brother ......

I didn't dare to think about it, but the words "fierce" and "lucky" still jumped directly into my mind. Thinking of this, my heart twitched, if my mother knew the news......

I slapped the table, "Sketch! "My hand hurts, and when I look down, my nails have been buckled into my hands, and I shake them off, and I can't care about them at all.

"Sketch! If you go down, you can't reveal a word about the content of Your Majesty's deliberations just now. Spread the palace oracle and block the news, especially the Huns, you must seal it for me! Withdraw the guards of the Shang Shufang a foot away, and Jiang Guan Gu will immediately return to Your Majesty if there is any news! ”

The little sketch got my word and looked at me worriedly, "Go quickly!" "I'm in a hurry.

He immediately turned around and ran out.

Now I can't help anything, and what I can think of, Your Majesty and Father can naturally think of. According to my speculation, the stakes are high, and His Majesty will definitely send a garrison near Jiangguan Valley to suppress the bandits, and I can't do anything in the deep palace.

I told Zhilu to watch, and let me know as soon as there was any movement on His Majesty's side.

I am a person who does not believe in gods and Buddhas, but all I can do now is to go to the small Buddha hall in the palace to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and pray for the safety of the third brother.

My heart is in turmoil, I hate the ability to fly to Jiangguan Valley to rescue the third brother, but for now, I can only pray over and over again. Zhiyu frowned at me and bowed down to join me.

Kneeling with my eyes closed, I almost immediately had the figure of the third brother in my mind.

The third brother and I are the same age, not a few years older, and they can play with me the most when they are young. He came up with many bad ideas. He was also the most mischievous of my three older brothers.

Originally, he could have been idle for the rest of his life, but when I was young, he had to go to the army for training. I was so angry with my father that I couldn't stop it, and in the end, the second brother was not at ease and went with him.

The second brother was later injured, and his mother cried for several days, and he didn't let him go, he said that he saw the people's livelihood and suffering at the border pass, and he actually asked for an order to go to the surrounding area to be the prefect.

The third brother was left to crawl in the army, got the blue eyes of General Li, and went to guard the northern border.

The last time I saw him, it was he who took the order to go to Beiguan. At that time, I had already been assigned to His Majesty to be the crown princess to be married. When he came back, he shed a few tears, saying that I have grown up, and if the prince bullies me, he will beat the prince away. I cried and sent him out of the city gates.

Since then, I haven't seen the third brother, only letters.

Unexpectedly, now, he is uncertain about his life and death, and when I think of this, I can only beg the gods to open their eyes and let the third brother be safe.

"! Your Majesty's side is scattered! ”

I opened my eyes suddenly, it was dark outside, I was about to get up directly, my knees were numb, Zhiyu was startled and came to help me, I rubbed my knees, and pulled Zhiyu to go to the Qinzheng Palace.

Nervous all the way.

Grandpa Zhang seemed to know that I was coming, so he opened the door and let me in. As soon as I went in, I saw His Majesty standing in front of the desk, as if waiting for me.

I was in a hurry, but I didn't dare ask, for fear I would get bad news.

He frowned slightly, "The queen doesn't have to be anxious, it's okay." After a pause, he spoke, "I haven't found General Fu and the princess's ...... so far Corpses. ”

I felt like I had been punched in the heart, so ...... No bad news is the best news. After collapsing for so long, it was so useless, and my uncontrollable tears flowed out. I raised my hand to wipe it, but I couldn't finish it.

He walked over quickly, remembered something, and hurriedly looked up at him and asked, "Your Majesty!" Father, he's all right! ”

He looked at me silently and sighed: "Fu Qing knows that the news is even more nervous and worried, and there is no sense of grief, the queen can rest assured." ”

He raised his hand, paused in the air, and then patted me on the shoulder in silence.

I was so affectionate and disgusted that I couldn't even hold up my usual fake smile at him.

He sighed softly, "Queen, come with me." ”

I looked up at him, and he smiled darkly, softly, worriedly, and with a red streak in his eyes.

He was very tired, too. I looked at him and nodded.

"Okay."
