"General, there are some things that the old slave shouldn't have said much, but the old slave received a great favor from your mother in the past and should be repaid. Nancang envoys came to the court, saying that as long as you agree to marry the Marquis of Dongping, you will immediately return the two capitals of Yangcheng and Guangling, and be good with Liguo Yongjie Qin and Jin. ”

"Me?" Ruoxi was really shocked this time. Although the royal family has withered in the heirs, it is not so much that it is not even possible to find a princess who is kind, why is it her turn. Since ancient times, there has been no reason for a country's generals and relatives to be in any dynasty or generation.

"Yes, this Dongping Marquis, the same general is also an old acquaintance."

"Is it him?!"

Liu Sifang nodded, "What the old slave saw with his own eyes is indeed General Chu. The old slave retreated first, and the general still cleaned up earlier. ”

The impact of these news was too great, and Ruoxi felt that she had to slow down.

Why did Nancang come here?

"I'll leave the border to you. Remember, you are a soldier and must not act impulsively. "Now Nancang is unknown, and Ruoxi is most at ease with the situation at the border gate. Fortunately, there are still a few veterans who have been in battle, and with their help, it is not a big problem. "Changfeng, the two of them are young after all, and they have too little experience."

"Don't worry, there will be no loss with me at the border." Changfeng knew Ruoxi's worries, and before she could finish speaking, he knew that she was thinking about it.

"Bai Lao, how is it?" Nangong Chen's illness came strangely, and the imperial doctor in the palace was helpless, so Shui Hua could only invite Bai Tian into the palace overnight.

"Your Highness, what did Your Majesty eat and drink in the afternoon?" Bai Yitian probably knew it in his heart, but he still had to make sure.

"Your Majesty has been worried about Nancang's affairs recently, so he has lost his appetite and uses very little lunch. By the way, this afternoon, His Majesty had an afternoon tea with the envoys of Nancang, but this tea was prepared in our palace. ”

Before Gonggong Li finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Yitian, "Has the tea been withdrawn?" Take me to see it. ”

"Bai Lao, but what's wrong with this tea?" Sensing that Bai Yitian's expression was wrong, Shui Hua immediately signaled Gonggong Li to withdraw with the people in the dormitory. Now only the prince and Bai Yitian are left in this room.

"Sure enough, he's back! He didn't even die. "This poison, except for his genius senior brother, I'm afraid there is no second person who can match it.

"What Bai Lao said, it's the Oriental Festival."

I haven't heard this name for more than 20 years, and when Leng Buding said it from Shui Hua's mouth, Bai Yitian only felt like a world away. "Yes, presumably Princess Yu has also told Your Majesty about the past."

Bai Yi was not surprised. Shui Hua is a member of the royal family, and it is not surprising to know this.

"Yes, Bai Lao, is there a way to solve this poison?" He remembered that his mother said that the Oriental Sacrifice and the White Day Master went out of the same school, one was unparalleled in poison and the other was unparalleled in healing. If you want to come to this oriental sacrifice, only he can solve it.

But he didn't want to, Bai Yitian shook his head and said, "To cure this poison, you must use Minsha Flower as a medicine, and the only Minsha Flower in this world is in the hands of Dongfang Sacrifice." I can't solve this poison. ”

"However, Your Highness doesn't have to be too anxious, this poison will not be fatal in a short time, I'll go talk to my senior brother, maybe for the sake of the friendship of the same family, I can persuade him to turn back."

"Then thank you Bai Lao."

Having said that, the two of them more or less knew in their hearts that this matter would not be easy.

It was raining outside the palace, and after this rain, the sky was going to be cold again.

Why Dongfang Sacrifice resents Nangong Chen, Shui Hua knows better than anyone.

It was also such a rainy night.

The mother was lying on the sickbed, and the dull sound of rain hitting plantains came from the window.

"Hua'er, your father was blinded by power back then, and in order to compete for the throne with the current emperor, he designed his mother's best sister. Yun Si and Dongfang Sacrifice were both drugged by Nangong Yu, and the Dongfang family was also destroyed by your father in order to marry the emperor. I never expected that the suave man I loved so much would do such a despicable thing. It was my mother's fault, my mother loved him too much to expose his true face in front of the world, but I felt speechless to face Yun Si, so I left Kyoto. ”

"He is actually a very kind person, but in the royal family, there are too many compulsions, and gradually, he loses his heart. Hua'er, mother only hopes that you can stay away from the royal family in this life, be an ordinary person, and live a peaceful life. ”

The wind was strong, and I don't know when the windows were blown open, and the rain blew on my face, and it was cold and cold.

The father's debt is paid by the son, and all this may only be ended by him.

"Where does Your Highness want to go?"

"Ruoxi?" Shui Hua was immersed in the past, thinking too much about it, and he didn't even notice when Ruoxi came.

"Your Highness wants to go to the Oriental Festival?" Ruoxi was worried that Shui Hua would do something stupid, so he hurried back overnight.

Shui Hua smiled bitterly, this Ruoxi sees people's hearts so thoroughly that he can guess his mind every time. "Actually, you should hate me. After all, the tragedy of all this originated with my father. ”

"Your Highness, do you think that twenty years of hatred can be erased with just one word from you?" The candlelight in the room flickered on and off, and Shui Hua couldn't even see her expression clearly. "Your Highness, Your Majesty is unconscious, Guangling and Yangcheng are still in the hands of Nancang, and Xichen is also eyeing the Liguo, at this time, you are tied to the century-old foundation of the Liguo."

"For Liguo, this time may be an opportunity."

"Ruoxi, what do you mean?" Shui Hua always felt as if Ruoxi was planning something.

"Your Highness, Elder Bai is here." Luo Feng's voice remembered outside the door, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"Master."

"Bai Lao."

Bai Yitian looked at the Ruoxi, who had obviously just come back from the border pass, and was still dusty, and for a while, he was like a fish in his throat, and he couldn't say anything. "Are you hurt?"

The good news of the border pass was passed to Kyoto one by one, and even a semi-hidden person like Bai Yitian could hear people's discussions from time to time. It is said that General Anping is brave and unparalleled, surprising soldiers, killing foreign enemies, and before January, he solved the danger in the clouds one after another and recaptured Liangcheng. When outsiders heard this, they only felt their blood boiling and pride. God knows how frightened those close to them were. No one knows better than Bai Yitian how serious the wounds are in the prison. is such a body that has carried one battle after another.

"No problem. Master, what did he say? As he said this, his hand behind his back moved inadvertently. Rushing all the way back, the double wounded hand, the reins had been grasped until he lost consciousness.

"He said that as long as you agree to the marriage, not only will you detoxify immediately, but you will also withdraw your troops."

Ruoxi was unexpectedly calm. That's the answer she expected.

"Your Highness, the emperor is unconscious, and this holy decree will bother you."

Dongfang sacrifice, in the face of King Yu's pursuit and King Chen's search, was able to escape to Nancang safely, and became a national teacher above 10,000 people under Nancang, which shows his strategic wisdom. He endured for more than 20 years, just to avenge the tragic death of the Dongfang family. Today's situation is just one of his moves.

Hearing Ruoxi's words, Shui Hua also fell into deep thought, "You mean, he has other conspiracies?" ”

"It's just a gut feeling." The purpose of the Oriental Festival, she knew very well.

It's just a heart-wrenching.

He personally sent his daughter into the hands of the enemy, and she was the woman she loved the most, the only child she left behind. If Ruoxi didn't know the truth, maybe the Dongfang Festival's heart-punishing strategy would really be successful.

The scene of father and daughter cannibalism that he wants to see depends entirely on Ruoxi's position. There are too many variables, and this is not the style of the Oriental Festival.

"Nancang, the new emperor, I have also heard a little, he is not stupid. If it weren't for what the Eastern Sacrifice had promised him, how could he have allowed the Eastern Sacrifice to do this? ”

That night, Nangong Shuihua and Ling Ruoxi chatted all night on the roof of the East Palace.

"Ruoxi, do you really want to do this? There are some roads, once they are gone, there is no way back. ”

Gently shake the wine glass in your hand and tilt it up. "I never wanted to leave myself behind."

"Why?"

Why? Ruoxi also asked herself this question. Revealing the truth of twenty years ago and dissolving the hatred of the previous generation may be a better option, at least to solve their current predicament.

But today there is an oriental festival, there is a cold day, as long as Nancang's ambition does not die, Nancang still has the next strategist, the soldiers and people of Liguo, will face the next war. War is a struggle for careerists, but it is always innocent people who suffer. "Maybe it's a responsibility. I promised my mother and devoted my life to guarding the peace and security of the country. ”

The wine in his hand was exhausted. I don't know if this wine is too strong, and the eyes of spicy people hurt.

After a long time, Shui Hua heard Ruoxi's words almost shattered in the air, "There are some responsibilities, I have carried them for too long, and I can't let them go." ”

The next day, Nangong Shuihua acted as an agent for state affairs with the support of Ling Ruoxi and other military generals and Zuo Xiang. On the same day, a decree was issued, and Ruoxi was named the lord of Changning County, and he was given the marriage of Nancang Dongpinghou.

As soon as this decree was issued, the whole country was in an uproar.

Dongfang Sacrifice kept its promise, and on the same day, all the people and horses in Yangcheng and Guangling were withdrawn, and Nangong Chen was detoxified.

Before, because of the loss of the arming map, the arming was hastily adjusted, and there were many loopholes, and now Nancang has withdrawn its troops, and the arming also needs to be readjusted. Although the crown prince strongly objected, Ruoxi still insisted on not participating in the deployment of defense, and only the prince took Changfeng, Qin Jingyuan, Yuan Hao and other generals to discuss.

"Ruoxi, I believe in you, why should you be so cautious."

"There are some things that I can't control, so it's better just in case."

Shui Hua understood what Ruoxi was thinking. After all, the example of Haochu is there, and it is not ruled out that Ruoxi will become the second Haochu.

"You don't have anything to ask me." Dongfang Matsuri put the last needle away and asked.

Ruoxi's eyes kept falling on Nangong Chen, until Ruoxi was sure that his pulse was stable, and then he spoke: "What do you want me to ask?" ”

Dongfang Sai chuckled, not knowing what he was laughing at, "You look like your mother." ”

"You don't seem surprised by the news that I'm your father."

Ruoxi did not shy away from facing Dongfang Sai's eyes and said: "A person has walked in the dark for twenty years, and that bit of extravagant hope has long been wiped out. ”
