CHAPTER XLIV
Emperor Jin died, and the news of King Qi's succession soon reached the Zhou State, and Emperor Zhou sat on the dragon chair and asked: "Now that the new emperor of the Jin State has ascended the throne, all Aiqing, what do you think?" ”
Prime Minister Fan said: "Your Majesty, I can send an envoy to congratulate him, first, to show the intention of repair, and second, to know the true intention of this new emperor Shizhong." ”
Zhou Shilang of the Ministry of Rites stood up: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”
Several more ministers stood up: "The ministers also seconded the proposal." ”
Emperor Zhou: "Okay, it's decided, who do you want to send?" ”
The four princes stood aside, watching the ministers in the palace have different opinions, and they haven't decided on a specific person for a long time, and some of them are embarrassed, so they simply stand up and say: "The ministers are willing to go." ”
Emperor Zhou: "Oh, you go?" ”
The fourth prince: "Yes, the son is not young now, and he should share the worries of the Zhou State, and ask his father to agree." ”
Fan Xiang said: "It's not proper, that Jin Kingdom is a land of tigers and wolves, and there are many dangers, and the four princes must not go." ”
The fourth prince: "Fan Xiang's words are wrong, now that the new emperor of the Jin Kingdom has just ascended the throne, the country is unstable, I am an envoy sent by the Zhou State, and I am the prince, no matter how great his ability is, at this juncture, he will not do anything to me, Fan Xiangda can rest assured." ”
Prime Minister Fan nodded.
Emperor Zhou thought about it for a while, and let Yu Heng exercise himself, he couldn't live under my wings all the time, "Okay, then it's decided, Yu Heng, you prepare and set off in five days." ”
"Yes." The Four Princes should arrive.
Emperor Zhou: "Zhou Shilang, I order you to prepare congratulatory gifts for four days and send an envoy to the Jin Kingdom with the four princes." ”
Zhou Shilang: "The minister obeys the order." ”

When the four princes went down to the court, they were invited to the National Teacher's Mansion by the people of Twilight Liuyun.
The four princes came to Twilight Liuyun's study, Twilight Liuyun invited him to sit down, and Xin Yao went out to prepare tea.
Twilight Liuyun: "I heard that you recommended yourself to envoy to the Jin Kingdom to Mao Sui this morning, and I really admire your courage. ”
The Fourth Prince: "You're not laughing at me!" ”
Twilight Liuyun: "I really praise you, but do you know that the new emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Qi King Shi Chong, colluded with the demon soldiers back then, and the robbery of the palace of the Chu State was done by him, this person is ruthless, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, the old emperor of the Jin Kingdom died suddenly, and Shi Chong has nothing to do with it, I am afraid that you will be in danger when you go, or I will accompany you." ”
The Fourth Prince: "Don't, the kindness of the National Teacher is appreciated by the prince." Liuyun, you look down on me too much, do you know that there are few in the world that can withstand my martial arts, don't worry, besides, Shi Chong has just won the throne, and the courtiers in the court are enough for him to work for a while, so he can take care of me, the envoy of the Zhou State, not to mention that we are going to show goodwill. ”
Twilight Liuyun: "That's right, you have to be more careful in everything when you go to the Jin Kingdom this time......"
Xin Yao stood at the door with tea, and heard the words inside clearly, it turned out that King Shi Zhong of Qi was the murderer of my father and queen mother! It's not just those monsters, but now they're on the throne of God, no, we can't wait any longer...... You have to find Luofu Mountain, yes, Xiaoxue said that you may know, go and ask him.
Xin Yao thought about it, left the study with tea, and happened to meet Jinzhu, so she handed her the tea tray in her hand, "Sister Jinzhu, this is the tea that the adults want, please send it over." ”
Jinzhu took the tea tray, "Why don't you send it...... Feed! Before he finished speaking, he saw Xin Yao running in the direction of Taoyuan.
Jinzhu came to the study with a tea tray, and Twilight Liuyun was surprised: "Where is Xin Yao?" What are you doing here? ”
Jinzhu replied: "Go back to my lord, Xin Yao has gone to Taoyuan, let the slave maid come to serve tea." ”
"Oh, you put it down." Jinzhu put the tea tray away, poured tea for Twilight Liuyun and the four princes, and when they saw that the two still had something to say, they withdrew.
When Xin Yao arrived in Taoyuan, she only saw Xiaoxue, but didn't see Mo Wen, and asked, "Xiaoxue, don't ask?" ”
Xiaoxue looked at Xin Yao's hurried appearance and asked, "He's not here, sister, are you in trouble?" ”
"Where did he go?"
"Brother Liu left early in the morning, saying that there was a grass called something on the mountain, and he was going to get it back, saying that it was about to bloom, and it was a fairy grass." Xiaoxue replied confusedly.
Xin Yao was so anxious: "Xiaoxue, when will he come back?" ”
"I don't know, it should be fast, he has immortal methods, and his feet are very fast."
"What immortal law?" Xin Yao was even more confused.
"Oops! I can't tell, sister, it's useless to be in a hurry, you just wait for him here. ”
Xin Yao couldn't help it, so she sat at the stone table, thinking about her thoughts. How could Xiaoxue stop, chattering around Xin Yao. Xin Yao couldn't calm down at all.
The fourth prince and Twilight Liuyun talked in the study, got up and said goodbye: "Liuyun, I will do it according to your method, don't worry, I still have to go to the palace to check Zhao Yi's mansion, and if there is something to explain, I will leave." ”
"Go ahead, you've had a lot to do in the past two days, if there's anything you can help, just ask."
"Okay, thank you Brother Liuyun first." The four princes clenched their fists and turned around to leave the National Teacher's Mansion.
Twilight Liuyun knew that the relationship between the four princes and Zhao Yi was very good, Zhao Yi was a person who was originally a man in the rivers and lakes, the two met by chance when they were young, the four princes saw that Zhao Yi was very talented, and he also knew the art of war, so he gave him an errand in the army. Zhao Yi has come to today's position step by step, and he deserves his name, this person will be immeasurable in the future, and he is definitely not a thing in the pool!
Twilight sent off the four princes and prepared to enter the palace.
Xin Yao waited in Taoyuan until almost evening, she couldn't wait, she pulled Xiaoxue and said, "Xiaoxue, sister, please do one thing for you, you must do it seriously." ”
Xiaoxue blinked: "What's the matter?" ”
"No matter how late Mo Wen comes back today, you have to ask him, where is Luofu Mountain? If you ask clearly, come and tell me right away, remember to avoid the national teacher. ”
"Then if Brother Liu comes back in the middle of the night, will I ask?"
"You look at the situation, tell me tomorrow morning at the latest."
"Okay, sister, what's wrong with being in such a hurry?"
"No, okay, Xiaoxue, don't guess, I'll go back, adults may still be waiting for me."
"Okay, sister, don't worry, I will definitely do it."
Xin Yao returned to her small courtyard, and sure enough, Twilight Liuyun was already waiting for her. Seeing Twilight Liuyun staring at her, she hurriedly said, "My lord, the slave was late because Mo Wen was not there, and she was afraid that Xiaoxue would be bored, so she stayed with her for a while." ”
"Got it, hurry up and eat, the food is cold."
"Yes." Xin Yao served Twilight Liuyun a good meal, and hurriedly sat down to eat with her head down. Twilight always felt that Xin Yao seemed to have something on her mind.
After the two finished eating, they ordered their subordinates to withdraw and return to the back room.
Twilight Liuyun pulled Xin Yao over and asked, "You don't seem to be happy today, why?" ”
"No, I'm just bored."
"Bored? Are you bored with me? ”
"No, it's not, I just find it boring to stay here."
"You don't like the National Teacher's Mansion?"
"It's not ...... either"
"Yao'er, you and I have been together for more than a year, if you really don't like it here, I can take you to find a paradise, let's ask Mo, of course, and Xiaoxue, is it okay to live together?" Twilight said earnestly.
Xin Yao didn't answer, she felt that Twilight Liuyun's feelings for her were not as simple as a master and a slave, he really liked himself, and it seemed that he also liked to stay with him, but she had a family feud and a hatred for the country, and she didn't dare to touch this kind of children's private feelings, so she could only often avoid Twilight Liuyun.
Twilight Liuyun looked at Xin Yao, what was she thinking? Isn't what you're saying clear enough?
"Yao'er, you know I like ......"
Xin Yao interrupted him, "My lord, you know that I used to live in the palace, if I was asked to go to that kind of place, I think I might not be able to stand it, and I don't want to go to ......."
Twilight Liuyun was surprised, in his heart, he had always felt that Xin Yao would like that kind of place that was indisputable, but it didn't matter, as long as she liked it, it was fine.
Twilight: "I thought you'd like it, but if that's the case, tell me what you like, and I'll be satisfied wherever you want it." ”
"Your Excellency...... Let's not talk about that, shall we? Xin Yao broke free of Twilight Liuyun's hand and looked at him pleadingly.
"Okay, we'll talk about that later." Twilight Cloud took Xin Yao in her arms, Xin Yao closed her eyes and did not resist, quietly feeling his breath, wanting to remember.
