The war in the Blue Bird Country is tight, and the army of Puni is like a bamboo, as if it has been engraved with the brand of justice and has the upper hand.

In addition, the Blue Bird Kingdom is not easy to shake, there are Huo Jiang Zheng Jian'an and others in the court, and there is a strong military force, and the most important thing is that the monarch of the Blue Bird Kingdom will marry Alexei, the princess of the Kingdom of Sha, that is, he will make friends with the Kingdom of Sha.

Backed by the powerful military power of Sha, even if Puni attacked, it may not be able to set off too much storm.

But Qin Huaijin, the king of Puni, just couldn't swallow this breath, even if he couldn't pose a threat to Kyoto, he would provoke the emperor Zixuan, so that he would not be able to live in peace, not be at peace, and unable to marry Alexei, the princess of Shaguo.

Qin Huaijin's thoughts do not represent the thoughts of his sister Qin Yurong, Qin Yurong was grounded by Punijun for several days, mourning all day long, and has never been able to come out of the grief, but Qin Yurong has always exonerated the emperor's son Xuan, and the more Qin Yurong is like this, the more angry Qin Huaijin becomes.

"Rong'er, why are you still speaking for that emperor Zixuan? You have forgotten your life in Yizhou, don't forget that the person who harmed you was him, his emperor dared to bully my Qin Huaijin's sister, and he had to pay for it. ”

"Brother Huang, even if Rong'er begs you, can you not attack the Blue Bird Country, if this continues, our Puni Kingdom and the Blue Bird Country will be at odds, and Rong'er will never be able to go back, what will Xuanjun think of Rong'er?"

Qin Yurong's words made Qin Huaijin hate that iron does not become steel, when his sister was not out of the cabinet, she was very smart, how to marry a woman and become the queen of the Blue Bird Country, she became so unclear about right and wrong, obsessed.

The left and right couldn't stand Qin Yurong's crying, plus the Puni Kingdom had already taken the Lingjiang on the border of the Blue Bird Country, and Xuanjun thought that he was at a loss, so he simply gave up the Lingjiang as a remote place and shifted the focus of the army to a more important city.

After the Blue Bird Country team returned to Kyoto, Sun Shangyu had been unwell, experienced too much on the way, and accompanied Xuanjun and the king and queen of Sha Kingdom to play games, before coming back, he slept in Yonghua Palace for a few days and nights, and he couldn't afford to go on three poles every day.

When I woke up on this day, I learned that Alexei, the princess of Sha, was going to officially enter the Kyoto Palace of the Blue Bird Country as a princess of Heqin, and when the news arrived, Alexei had already set off on the side of Sha.

Sun Shangyu quietly listened to the discussions of the palace maids of Yonghua Palace, and suddenly got up from the bed, and the palace maids reacted to help Sun Shangyu.

"Niangniang is awake, the slave has prepared the snacks that Niangniang loves to eat, Niangniang eats some cushions for her stomach."

"No need, this palace has no appetite." Sun Shangyu picked up a book, didn't touch snacks or anything, just drank a sip or two of tea,

The eunuch outside Yonghua Palace came to report: "Concubine Xiao, the Queen Mother is invited." ”

Empress Hui please? Sun Shangyu is a little inexplicable, Empress Dowager Hui and Sun Shangyu are not in harmony, it is entirely because Sun Shangyu was desperate to protect the pregnant Huangfu Zhihe, Empress Dowager Hui does not like Sun Shangyu, and naturally she will not be any good to her.

The palace maid Yu'er was afraid that the Empress Dowager Hui would embarrass her master, so she was very worried.

Concubine Xiao saw Yu'er's worries, and smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Empress Dowager Hui naturally has something important to do with the palace, not to trouble the palace." ”

Yu'er relaxed a little, not that she felt that Empress Dowager Hui could be so merciful, but she felt that her master was assertive and would not let people lead her by the nose.

"Master, the Queen Mother came to you at this time, didn't she want to ask the master about going to Sha Country."

Sun Shangyu responded: "Isn't it? Yu'er guessed right, this palace is the only palace concubine who accompanied His Majesty to Sha Kingdom, and only this palace is the most fair, isn't it? ”

In Yongshou Palace, the Empress Dowager Hui sat still, still indifferent.

"I haven't seen Concubine Xiao for a long time, and the mourning family has lost a lot of weight when they see Concubine Xiao."

The Empress Dowager Hui came up to greet her, but Sun Shangyu was not a flattering lord, and she had already torn her face with the Empress Dowager Hui, so she said bluntly: "What is the matter with the Empress Dowager looking for a concubine?" ”

Empress Dowager Hui squinted at Sun Shangyu, paused slightly, and then followed Concubine Xiao's words and said: "Look, give a seat quickly, standing stiff like this, it seems that the mourning family is not close to people." ”

Sun Shangyu sat down as he said, and then continued to look at the Empress Dowager Hui, her eyes were polite inquiries.

"Sha Guo and his party, Xiao Concubine is also among the servants, this Qin Yurong matter, Xiao Concubine knows the truth of the matter?"

Before Sun Shangyu came, he had already gone through all the questions that Empress Dowager Hui was very likely to ask in his mind, so naturally there would be no mistakes.

"Back to the Queen Mother, although the concubines don't know the reason, but about the Queen Mother's mother, the Queen Mother must have a number in her heart, and the Queen Mother has been taken back to Puni Kingdom."

On the first day of returning to Kyoto, Lord Shangzhang of the "Heavenly Stems Branch" had already informed Empress Dowager Hui of all the Empress Qin Yurong's affairs, and Qin Yurong's assassination by Xuanjun was completed by Lord Shangzhang under the instructions of Emperor Fu Zixuan.

"Then why, the queen is not dead? But he was taken back to his home country by Punijun? No matter how great his ability Qin Huaijin is, he can't do things so thoroughly, right? It must be that there is an inner ghost in the team of the Blue Bird Country to go to the Sha Country. ”

Empress Dowager Hui looked at Sun Shangyu in front of her with sharp eyes, her meaning was obvious, the team of the Blue Bird Kingdom to Sha Country was nothing more than the queen's palace concubines, as well as the eunuchs and palace maids, in addition, they were the twenty-two chiefs of the "Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branch".

"Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branch" allegiance to the royal family, it is the tradition of the Blue Bird Country, the twenty-two chief directors are loyal, and it is impossible to betray the royal family of the Blue Bird Country, in addition, the maid eunuch does not dare to do anything wrong, so that only Sun Shangyu, the palace concubine, is the most suspicious.

In fact, Empress Dowager Hui guessed well, it was indeed Sun Shangyu who sent a message to Punijun Qin Huaijin, which made Qin Huaijin take Queen Qin Yurong back from Yizhou Palace so smoothly. Before Sun Shangyu came, he had already thought through all these questions that the Empress Dowager Hui would ask.

"The Queen Mother, the concubines don't know."

If you don't know a word, you can solve all the problems of the Empress Dowager Hui, and the Empress Dowager Hui no longer presses questions, but continues to ask the question of Huangfu Zixuan.

"I'm afraid the emperor is going to marry that Sha woman, does Concubine Xiao have any opinions?"

Sun Shangyu stood up, very guarded against what the Empress Dowager Hui said: "The concubines don't dare." ”

Empress Dowager Hui was thoughtful, and she couldn't ask, but since Huangfu Zixuan already had the intention of killing Qin Yurong, it also meant that she wanted to completely break off diplomatic relations with Puni, and such a move must be a perfect strategy. Empress Dowager Hui was still surprised.

Is this still the emperor Zixuan in his impression? The emperor didn't dare to be timid in the face of his siblings, but in the face of his wife, Qin Yurong, the queen of the Blue Bird Kingdom, he was ruthless.

This can't help but make Empress Dowager Hui re-examine her son Huangfu Zixuan, maybe the emperor is not as weak as Empress Dowager Hui imagined, the so-called benevolent and soft-hearted, but just pretending to be a historian. pretending to be for the world to see.

In the past, Empress Dowager Hui was always worried that her son was too soft-hearted and indecisive, but now it seems that Huangfu Zixuan is much more terrifying than imagined.

Sun Shangyu's attitude was cold, and he didn't want to talk to Empress Dowager Hui about going to Sha Country more, but what Sun Shangyu didn't expect was that the topic that Empress Dowager Hui was going to talk about today was not Xuanjun or Queen Qin Yurong, let alone Princess Alexei of Sha Country.

"Concubine Xiao, during the time you and the emperor went to Sha Kingdom, a lot of things happened in the palace, and you must have known one or two, the Zhao family rebelled, and ...... Concubine Chang passed away, do you know all this? ”

knows, naturally knows, these words attracted Sun Shangyu's attention, among the harem of the Blue Bird Country, the best friend with Sun Shangyu is Chang Guifei Yang Zipei.

But they are obviously the best sisters, but they were estranged because of the framing of the eldest prince Zhengchuan, and until the day Sun Shangyu left the palace of the Blue Bird Kingdom, he did not untie the knot with Yang Zipei, and when he learned the news of Yang Zipei later, he learned that it was the news of Yang Zipei's death.

This is a big regret, and it may also be Sun Shangyu's lifelong knot, maybe except for Lord Yang's family in the Yang Guogong Mansion who will treat Chang Guifei sincerely, in the harem, there are only these two people who snuggle up to each other.

Sun Shangyu's eyes were red unconsciously, and the Empress Dowager Hui was slightly moved when she saw it.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the concubine knew that someone in Kyoto had indeed sent a letter to the concubine, informing the concubine that the concubine had passed away.

Empress Dowager Hui gestured to the palace maid Yufang beside her, and Yufang immediately entered the inner hall and led a half-old boy out, and Sun Shangyu recognized it from a distance.

The eldest prince Zhengchuan, the son of Chang Guifei, Huangfu Zhengchuan.

It turned out that Huangfu Zhengchuan had been kept in the Queen Mother's Yongshou Palace, Sun Shangyu was in a trance for a moment, and there was an image of Chang Guifei Yang Zipei between the eyebrows and eyes of the eldest prince, which was a pity that it was too late to explain and explain.

The eldest prince Zhengchuan was very polite, and bowed to the Empress Dowager Hui and Concubine Xiao in a proper manner, Sun Shangyu stared at the child carefully, and always felt that the child seemed to be missing something.

Thinking about it, it is a kind of innate self-confidence and bearing of the royal heir, I don't know if it is because of the early death of her mother, or because she was raised in the Yongshou Palace and was nurtured by the Empress Dowager Hui, in short, she felt more and more that this child was missing something.

Empress Dowager Hui opened her lips slightly, but she could be regarded as a solemn and solemn statement: "Concubine Xiao, the mourning family knows that you have been persecuted by the Zhao family and have lost two children, you have been friendly with Chang Guifei, and the eldest prince will hand it over to you, and the mourning family will be relieved." ”

The words that he had befriended Concubine Chang bit hurt Sun Shangyu's heart, but Empress Dowager Hui immediately said that she would hand over the eldest prince Zhengchuan to Sun Shangyu, which made Sun Shangyu sober up for a moment.

Staring at this child carefully, Sun Shangyu understood that raising the eldest prince Huang Fu Zhengchuan for Yang Zipei was the only way for him to make up for Yang Zipei's spirit in the sky.
