In the back house of the Zhenguo Mansion, in an antique women's boudoir, Xiaoshuang's eyes were closed, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she didn't know how to lie on the bed.

The maids who came and went were all lightly tactful, lest the louder sound would wake up the seriously ill and comatose lady.

A vigorous draft, after the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, the new emperor selected the harem for the first time, and her young lady participated happily, but in the end she was sent back lying down.

Looking at the young lady who looked like a piece of paper on the couch, thin and weak, and her face was so pale that it was almost transparent, Youqin held back her tears and wiped the sweat beads on Xiaoshuang's forehead.

"Bodhisattva bless, Miss wake up soon." He came in with a boiled potion, and recited a few words of prayer in his mouth.

As the only daughter of Zhenguo Gong, even if she is only a concubine, Miss should have entered the palace as a concubine, the fate of a noble and smooth road, but who knew that she fell ill during the draft process and missed such a great opportunity.

After testing the eaves of the medicine bowl with their hands to make sure that the temperature was not hot, the two maids reasonably helped up the unconscious woman on the bed, and carefully began to feed the medicine one spoonful at a time.

The bitter liquid slid into her mouth, Xiaoshuang frowned, and woke up coughing, what was wrong with her, why was her body so heavy and weak?

"Miss, you're awake, it's great," Youqin hugged the woman's body and shook in surprise, "Youqi, go and inform Grandpa Guo and Shizi, Miss is awake." ”

Isn't she in the draft? This girl is really confused, and her father and eldest brother are outside the palace at this time.

The memory slowly returned, Xiaoshuang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, what is this? Her boudoir, how did she come back?

The emperor obviously praised her for being dignified and sensitive, gentle and polite, and was about to order her personal attendant to give a jade plaque to stay in the palace, why was she in the boudoir?

The bead curtain sounded softly, and Zhenguo Gong Xiaomo walked in full of wine, "Dad? Seeing his father come in person, Xiaoshuang struggled to get out of bed and salute.

His mind was still groggy and his body was sore and heavy, Xiaoshuang didn't know why he had returned to the Gongfu Mansion, but when he saw Zhenguo Gong, who had always been a majestic father, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

"It's good to wake up, if you don't feel well, you don't need to salute." Waving his hand to let the maid serve her daughter to lie down, Xiao Mo pondered for a moment, and said coldly: "The emperor is magnanimous, and he has not been guilty of your dereliction in front of the emperor, and it is not possible to enter the palace as a concubine, but Your Majesty still issued a decree to give you the side concubine of King Ping." ”

The stupid appearance of her daughter Mu Leng made Xiao Mo instinctively dislike it, this concubine was really useless. A good draft of entering the palace, relying on the identity of the family background, is to go through the motions, and it is logical that you can become the emperor's concubine, and you can mess it up.

"The emperor's grace is vast, after you recover, remember to enter the palace as soon as possible to thank you." The bead curtains outside collided again, and when Xiaoshuang looked up, there was no father in the room.

"Miss, the slave maid serves you to drink medicine, the effect is not good when it is cold."

Pushing away the medicinal juice that Youqin brought to his lips, Xiaoshuang asked eagerly, "What's wrong with me?" Aren't we in the palace draft? ”

The father's cold and detached appearance made Xiaoshuang full of bitterness, and the decoction had not yet been eaten, she was already full of bitterness, what medicine did she drink.

King Ping's side concubine, how can she be compared with the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven, even if she can't marry into the palace, she can marry King Yi or King An, no matter which one she is, it's better than Nangong Jia's unfavored concubine, right?

Nangong Yi and Nangong Teng are both queens, both of them have the opportunity to win the crown prince's position, what does Nangong Jia have, his biological mother died early, and he was feared by the emperor and queen because of his military exploits. Such a person, what future will she have if she marries?

"The draft has been over for more than half a month, doesn't Miss remember? On the day of the palace election, you suddenly fainted, but fortunately, the emperor did not condemn him, but just ordered someone to send the young lady back to the national mansion, and sent the imperial doctor to come to treat him. ”

The words of the piano again, like a thunderbolt exploding in Xiao Shuang's brain, fainted? What about teasing her? How important is the draft, and how could she be in a coma for no reason? Who is behind the ghost and secretly plotting against her?

Damn, every precaution is taken, but an accident suddenly occurs. This is a result that Xiaoshuang never expected.

"Where's Big Brother? Chess again, didn't you go to invite the prince? "My father has the title of duke, but he is drunk and dreams of death day and night, but when she asks about trivial matters, she can only rely on her brother Xiaoyu. Cool text

Seeing that the master's face was not good, and he didn't dare to distinguish half a sentence, he immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, "Miss forgive me, the prince is not in the house." ”

……

On the edge of the pier on the outskirts of Kyoto, a two-story boat is parked on the shore, and in the cabin upstairs, two young men sit by the window, raising their glasses and drinking happily, while another boy looks out curiously.

"Jingyu, don't be naughty, be careful of falling into the water." While drinking with Xiaoyu, Xu Zhenting did not forget to tell the little brother to pay attention to safety.

"Brother Yu, have a good trip, and I will toast you another cup for my brother." Originally, Xu Zhenting planned to take Sun Jingyu and take Xiaoyu's downwind boat back to Qingchengzhou together.

But just a few days ago, he received a letter from his senior brother, and the little junior sister came to Beijing with her family. In this way, he can't rush to send Jingyu back to his hometown.

The master's feud has dragged on for so long, and now that the identity of the enemy is clear, their brothers and sisters should join forces to find out where the enemy is hiding, and it is important to avenge the master first.

"!" Xiao Yu took the wine glass and drank it all, he couldn't stay in Kyoto for the time being, the draft was over, and the emperor ordered the princes and the children of the nouveau riche in Kyoto to marry.

Taking advantage of this marriage craze, Princess Yujiao once again grinded the emperor's decree to marry the two, but for some reason, the emperor did not respond for the time being, but Xiaoyu was in a hurry to slip away.

His mother's three-year filial piety period has passed, and he has no reason to refuse the emperor's marriage, if he doesn't leave early, he will really be entangled by the arrogant and arrogant Princess Yujiao, how can he be worthy of his beloved girl.

Standing at the dock and waving to send Xiaoyu away, Xu Zhenting took Sun Jingyu's hand and got into the carriage of Yongning Bofu.

The dispute between the crown prince has not come to an end, the queen and the concubines in the palace are fighting fiercely, and the brothers of Wang An and Wang Ping outside the palace are opposed.

The family members of the Duke of Wei were assassinated, Shen Meng sued His Majesty, King Ping became the first object of the emperor's suspicion, and Brother Yu went out to avoid it at this time.

The note handed over by the assassin Shi of Jinningzhou was clearly written, and the assassins were recruited, and they kept saying that they were instructed by King Ping, and all kinds of torture tools were used on death row, but the assassins still did not change their words.

Looking at this situation, King Ping is in big trouble this time. As close friends, they should have played the emperor at this time to prove the innocence of King Ping.

But the prince specially ordered people to pass on the message, telling them to stay put, protect themselves, and don't get involved without clear evidence, which made the emperor disgusted.

……

The boat went farther and farther, and everything on the pier was not clear, so Xiaoyu turned back to the cabin.

"Lord Shizi, my subordinates have hung up the order flag of the Zhenguo Mansion according to your orders."

The officers who supervised and inspected on the water saw the flag waving in the wind on the building boat, printed with the unique logo of the Zhenguo Mansion, and immediately held the patrol boat far away to avoid it.

After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he kept a very close watch over the Grand Canal, which connected Kyoto and Wanghaizhou.

Unless it is a government ship, or a noble family, and officials at all levels travel, they can take the Grand Canal of Beijing. The rest of the civilians or business travelers who wanted to come to Kyoto had to go by land.

Naturally, after showing their identity certificates, they can also take the official ship and enter Beijing to take the examination. However, the fare that needs to be paid is not cheap.

Gong Hao guessed that the emperor should be afraid of the remnants of the previous dynasty, Zong Zhengxu is still on the run, and the most likely hiding place is Wanghaizhou, so he is so strict about the Jinghang Grand Canal.

"Tell me to go down, set sail, day and night, and rush to the assassination site as fast as possible."

A good brother is in trouble, and he is duty-bound. King Ping was placed under house arrest by the emperor, and he couldn't get out of the palace to find out about the assassination of the family members of the Duke of Weiguo, and he was the most suitable person.
