Du Pingfei put his hands in his sleeves, squinted at the person in front of him, and said, "Why don't you kill it with your own hands?" ”

Xie Fenghua sneered, "Why are you so angry?" I didn't provoke you! ”

Du Pingfei was cold between his eyebrows, but he smiled and said, "Then you can go." You are not welcome in this palace. ”

If it were an ordinary person, I was afraid that I would have left with interest.

However, this person is Xie Fenghua.

Hearing this, the sarcasm on the corner of Xie Fenghua's lips deepened a little, and he looked at her and said, "I really can't see it, the queen's methods are getting more and more clever, but her belly is getting smaller and smaller." I was just calculated a few days ago, and today I made a move to pull back a game. This kind of retributive temperament really makes me admire it so much! ”

She arched her hand with a smile, feigning a compliment, but her eyes were unusually cold and quiet.

Du Pingfei couldn't see her so yin and yang, tilted his head slightly, looked at her with a more cold and sharp gaze, and said: "Is it because the title of Young Lady Yuan is not good, or is it that the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is not good as an official, and you actually came to the palace to preach?" ”

With that, she sat down at the dresser and slowly brushed her hair.

Xie Fenghua walked over, stood behind her, and sneered: "Say, how did you say that Sun Hengbo was moved to cooperate with you in that play?" ”

Du Pingfei's subordinates paused, and said, "You really look down on this palace." Where did this palace come from with such a ability to turn over the clouds and rain? The reason why Miss Sun suffered an unwarranted disaster was not your handiwork? ”

She looked at the slightly gloomy face of the man behind her in the mirror, and felt a slight sense of pleasure in her heart.

In the whole thing, Sun Hengbo has always been the most innocent substitute.

The county lord of Yunluo was originally going to target Xie Er, but the result was that she accidentally fell into the trap and suffered this disaster for Xie Er.

They all know this.

It's just that Xie Fenghua didn't dwell on this, but said indifferently: "What kind of pen is not handy?" So angry? I really don't understand these twists and turns! ”

Du Pingfei smiled at her and said, "Do you think it makes sense to tell this to this palace?" ”

Xie Fenghua didn't answer this, broke her hand, picked up the comb, his fingers suddenly crossed her cheek, and sighed: "Today's fat powder is thick enough, but it can cover the disguise on the face." The Lord of Yunluo ended up like this, are you happy? ”

"I'm happy," Du Pingfei said, "It just so happens that there are still some fat powder here in this palace, so why don't I reward you?" ”

"Forget the reward," Xie Fenghua combed it to the end, tore off two strands of black and slender hair, and said lightly, "I'm afraid of getting a rash on my face." ”

Du Pingfei was in pain, but he looked pity, "You can't blame rouge for being ugly." It's time to put away that heart-wrenching calculation. ”

"I don't dare to calculate." Xie Fenghua threw away the comb, pressed his hands on her shoulders, slowly moved along the shoulders to her neck, the slightly cool fingertips stopped at the place where the pulse was beating, and said with a smile, "Compared to Niangniang, I just can't get on the table." If you really want to talk about the master of power and calculation, it must be Niangniang. ”

Du Pingfei's body suddenly tensed, he felt the coldness on his pulse, and pretended to be calm: "After just saying a few words, you became angry?" Aren't you sharp-tongued? Afraid of what? ”

"I'm afraid of death!" Xie Fenghua slowly felt the frequency of the beating in his neck, and said, "It is said that the harem relies on a mouth to kill people, I know that my mouth is clumsy, how dare I get an axe in front of the queen's mother?" No, I can only use the means I am used to? ”

Du Pingfei couldn't help but sneer, "Then you also found the wrong person, right?" The county lord of Yunluo is the culprit of all this. ”

"That can't be." Xie Fenghua's eyelids drooped slightly, and he said to Du Pingfei casually, "I recognize you." ”

"Okay," Du Pingfei looked at the woman in the mirror and said, "Then the palace wants to see, what are you going to do?" ”

She raised her head slightly, and the shadows of the two were reflected in the tent, sitting and standing, as if the beautiful girl was sitting in front of Lang Jun, and the two were dressing up in the mirror, full of boudoir fun for no reason.

However, the eyes of the two of them were cold, but the smile on their faces became brighter and brighter, as if whoever had a stiff face first would lose. This stubbornness is really a rare similarity.

There was a small sound outside the tent, and the two looked at each other without saying a word.

After a while, Xie Fenghua picked up the curly hair that fell from Du Pingfei's sideburns and said softly: "Actually, why do you do it yourself?" Although the Du family was defeated, didn't you stay out of the matter? As long as the emperor doesn't investigate you, your position as queen will be secure. ”

"But this palace is unwilling!" Du Pingfei understated, "Why did he kill the people of the Du family, and the palace still wants to thank him for leaving this life?" Why did the family of King Beiheng ride on their heads, and the palace can't resist it? ”

And why, her situation is a thousand and ten thousand times more miserable than that person?

Unexpectedly, Xie Fenghua listened, but laughed, "This is not what you went to great lengths to ask for?" ”

Du Pingfei was stunned and broke a piece of comb teeth.

That's right, this is what she has worked so hard to get. But people's hearts are fickle, the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that couples would get an ending worse than strangers for many years?

She is not reconciled!

And now, she doesn't want to continue.

Xie Fenghua knew that he had poked her sore spot, so he also withdrew his hand and said coldly: "Since you don't want to say it, why don't you let me guess?" The reason why I can say that Sun Hengbo cooperates with you is just to use Du Huaishao, right? Now that the two of you are dependent on each other, does Du Huaishao know that you are promoting him so much, and you actually use him as a bargaining chip to incite Sun Hengbo for your use? ”

Du Pingfei fell silent.

This person seems to be very smart, not only can he guess her mind from time to time, but he can also find out what is hidden deep according to clues. This feeling of being spied on is really annoying.

Xie Fenghua looked at the door of the tent and said, "You think it out yourself, not everyone can be a chess piece in your hand." Sun Hengbo is so innocent, if you still have her idea, I advise you to die as soon as possible. What you and Du Huaishao are planning are all your business, but there are some bottom lines that cannot be touched. ”

After speaking, she glared at Du Pingfei with a warning implicitly, and then opened the curtain.

Just as he was about to leave, there was a crackling sound in his ears, as if something had been swept to the ground. She tugged at the corners of her mouth and strode away.

In the other tent, Sun Hengbo was looking at the white tent with his eyes open, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

At this time, the curtain was suddenly lifted, and she thought that it was her maid who came in, and immediately ordered listlessly: "I have said it all, don't bother me if it's okay." Let me be alone for a moment. ”

After that, there was a long silence.

She suddenly sensed that something was wrong, lifted her upper body slightly, looked at the tent door, and suddenly sat up. Because when she got up, the range of movement was too large, which affected the wound, and she gasped in pain.

Du Huaishao hurriedly walked over and stretched out his hand to appease her, but remembered the identities of the two halfway, stopped awkwardly, and then withdrew his hand, and said with a little concern in his tone: "You...... Are you feeling better? ”

"It's better." Sun Hengbo endured the pain and bared his teeth and grinned, "Why did you come to me?" ”

Du Huaishao looked at her and asked, "I heard everything you said today." Why are you helping me so much? ”

"Help?" Sun Hengbo turned his face away unnaturally and said with a smile, "Why do you think I'm helping you?" ”

Du Huaishao was silent for a while before he said: "That day, you obviously didn't see any figures, the reason why you talked about this in public was because of Queen Du's instructions, right?" Let me guess, did Empress Du use me to negotiate with you? ”

After speaking, he laughed at himself, with a little imperceptible bitterness in his voice.

Sun Hengbo couldn't help asking: "Are you and the queen mother cousins?" Why does it feel so rusty? ”

It's unfamiliar, as if it's talking about other people's things.

And the irony in Du Huaishao's smile was a little deeper, he lifted his robe and sat on the ground, looked up at her, and said: "I am a lowly and lowly concubine in the second room who is not seen, she is the noble concubine of the big house, do you think there will be any intersection between the two of us?" ”

This was the first time he had heard him talk about things at home, and although he tried hard to show that he didn't care, Sun Hengbo had a glimpse of a trace of sourness in it.

Du Huaishao rarely talked about his thoughts in front of outsiders, but for some reason, when facing this woman, he suddenly had an urge to talk.

After a short thought, he continued: "Speaking of which, I was also abrupt. You are also the noble concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so naturally you can't understand the difficulties of the concubine. Do you know how to live better as a concubine? ”

"How?" Sun Hengbo's mind was affected by him, and he subconsciously asked.

saw him shake his head, and said with a mocking smile: "Concubine, you need to be able to bend and stretch." When your son-in-law is proud, you have to step forward and echo it; When your son-in-law is frustrated, you must take the initiative to pave the way for him, and you must not block the path of those people. Otherwise, what awaits you is countless troubles and suppression. ”

Suddenly, he remembered those dark days.

Obviously, they are all children of the Du family, and they all have good skills, but the stomachs that crawl out are different, and life is a world of difference!

At the beginning, Du Huaisheng was pinned on high hopes and rushed to the front line with 50,000 reinforcements, he wanted to ask his father for a favor, pretending to be an ordinary soldier to follow the reinforcements, so as to exercise his skills. But when his good eldest brother found out, he couldn't help but lock him up in his house, and sent people to guard him strictly, and he didn't let him go out for half a step.

The family didn't care about right and wrong, and didn't care whether he lived or died, but acquiesced to Du Huaisheng's behavior.

This is the Du family!

Cold-blooded, cruel, black and white, regardless of any means!

He had tried to snatch a few credits from Du Huaisheng, but each time to no avail. Fortunately, his eldest brother committed such a monstrous disaster, not only killing himself, but also taking the second room of the entire Du family into it.

I have to say, it's very enjoyable!

After the Du family became the past, he took Du silkworms to live in a dilapidated house, and he didn't think about this series of things. He didn't feel anything to regret about what he had done. Even in order to survive, he secretly climbed up to the corner tower of the palace gate while taking advantage of the chaos, and when King Yu was shooting arrows, he stepped forward and blocked in front of the emperor.

After that, the emperor didn't want his life, but it was as if he had given him a new life.

escaped the cage of the Du family, and there are countless possibilities in his life.

But among these possibilities, he accidentally broke into a woman, and he was still extremely uneasy.

Perhaps, it's time to draw a line between each other.

Thinking of this, he thought for a moment and said, "Miss Sun, I am very grateful to you for saving my life with Fire Lingzhi, and even agreed to Queen Du's request to tell such a big lie about life and death." I don't think I'm a good person, and I deserve it. I took the liberty to come here tonight, just to tell you that if there is anything in the future, I can say it directly, even if I go to the soup and fire, I will not hesitate. ”

Sun Hengbo thought he had misunderstood him, and said hurriedly: "Don't say that." When you were in Qianju Pavilion, if I hadn't gone to find you, you wouldn't have been caught by the people of King Beiheng. I did this just to make up for my mistakes. ”

Speaking of this, her voice suddenly lowered, and she smiled bitterly: "Moreover, I didn't help you......"

Whether it helps or not, there is no need for her to say, Du Huaishao knows it.

When he was startled that day, Sun Hengbo did not find a chance to get out, but chose to jump down at such a critical moment. At first, he was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it carefully, an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.

His gaze fell on that face and he asked, "Why is Miss Sun so humble?" You chose to let me catch you that day, did you really have no other thoughts? ”

After speaking, he was stunned, a little annoyed why he said what he thought in his heart, and when he saw her unnatural look, those doubts were also clearly answered.

She really had the idea of paving the way for him.

Originally, he blocked an arrow for the emperor in front of the palace gate, and his life was saved. This time he saved the prime minister's daughter, and it is conceivable that if Sun Mingyuan said a few words for him in front of the emperor, then the shackles remaining on him would be easily lifted.

This heart is not deep and precious.

But how could he afford such a painstaking favor?

Sun Hengbo saw that his face sank, and he was anxious for a while, and hurriedly said, "You don't have to think that there is anything wrong. You are also under my influence. I'm doing this just for forgiveness. ”

She lowered her head, but a wry smile appeared in her heart.

This sin is too difficult to forgive, and I almost lost my life.

Seeing that she refused to admit it, Du Huaishao couldn't continue to hold on, so he could only say: "I remember what you did." I still say the same thing, if you can find me in the future, you can say it directly. No matter how hard it is, I'll help you ......"

"Take my life!"

Sun Hengbo's heart was shocked, and he raised his eyes to look at him in disbelief, but saw that his expression was solemn and firm, and her small shadow was reflected in his black and white eyes, and there was a sense of security that was protected for no reason.

She hurriedly lowered her head, nodded her head, and asked, "What are you going to do in the future?" ”

"I'm going to join the army." Du Huaishao said.

Now, the emperor and the entire court are jealous of the Du family, if he continues to stay in Tianjing, he can basically see through the final outcome at a glance. But since this life has not been taken away, something must be done, right?

Most of the children in the barracks are of all classes, and it may be easier to start from the lower levels.

But when Sun Hengbo heard this, he hurriedly stopped him, "Don't worry. No matter how many people want to break into Tianjing, they can't find the right time. With who you are now, once you leave, it's hard to come back. You wait, wait and see if there's any chance......"

Du Huaishao frowned and said puzzledly: "What are you waiting for?" ”

Sun Hengbo had his own ideas, but he couldn't say it clearly at the moment, so he could only say angrily with a straight face: "I said you can wait, where are there so many problems?" You just said to listen to me, are you going to disobey the yang and the yin now? ”

It was obviously a bluff reprimand, but Du Huaishao didn't demolish her, but said: "Then I'll wait." If you have anything, tell me then. ”

After staying here for so long, Du Huaishao simply gave a few words of advice and left.

Sun Hengbo breathed a long sigh of relief, stroked the back of his head, and the big stone in his heart finally landed.

After Du Huaishao walked out of the tent, he greeted Xie Fenghua who was walking towards him, he pursed his lips, nodded at the other party, and left by mistake.

Xie Fenghua looked at the account in front of him, and originally wanted to ask Sun Hengbo about something, but now he felt that there was no need for this. Seeing Du Huaishao appear here, what else don't you understand?

Maybe she's just an outsider and can't meddle in too many things.

The next day came quickly.

King Beiheng lost his most beloved daughter, and the prince of the palace was still injured and lying in the palace, which could not be said to be a heavy loss. Therefore, he was extremely disgusted with the people who had caused trouble in this autumn hunt. The person who gave death to the county lord of Yunluo was the emperor, and no matter how dissatisfied he was, he couldn't make any act of resistance.

However, it is a person who is confused, and his actions are becoming more and more unpredictable. Early in the morning of this day, on the grounds of being unwell, he took the body of the county lord of Yunluo to ask the emperor to resign and returned to Yunzhou ahead of schedule.

It stands to reason that this is really unruly, but the emperor and queen also went with him.

Everyone stayed in the hunting ground for a long time, and then also set off back to Yunzhou.

But I didn't want to, as soon as I entered the city, the city guard of Yunzhou submitted an urgent report, which said that the second prince of the Northern Underworld took the soldiers and horses all the way south, and unexpectedly took the three cities in the north of Yunzhou, and there was a great tendency to attack Yunzhou.

For a time, the government and the opposition were shocked.

Zhao Pei immediately convened the ministers to discuss the strategy of sending troops.

But what is in front of everyone right now is a very thorny problem - the emperor and most of the ministers are in Yunzhou, and if they want to send troops, they can only mobilize the Yunzhou garrison and the fiefdom defenders of King Beiheng.

The Yunzhou garrison was only 50,000 soldiers and horses, which was not enough to fight against the 80,000 army of the second prince of the Northern Underworld.

At this moment, almost everyone hit the idea on the fiefdom defenders of the King of Beiheng.

In that year, King Beiheng followed the first emperor to make great contributions, and was loyal to the national merit in Sheji, not only received the title of the first emperor, but also was allowed to have 20,000 fiefdom defenders.

In the history of the Liang Dynasty, this is a unique gift.

But the emperor had just given the daughter of the king of Beiheng to death, and he knew with his toes that it was impossible for the king of Beiheng to borrow this soldier.

When a certain minister mentioned this proposal, King Beiheng immediately stood up and found an excuse to refuse, and the appearance of righteous words was that the emperor did not dare to force it.

If you don't force it, there are no soldiers to come out, and Yunzhou will be in danger.

For a while, the situation was deadlocked, and in the end, Zhao Pei waved the ministers back and chatted with King Beiheng behind closed doors.

Xie Fenghua was walking on the way back to Qianju Pavilion, and just turned a corner, but saw Du Pingfei standing on the side of the road, with a slender posture and a cold expression, and he didn't know what he was doing.

She didn't want to have too much intersection with this person, and was about to walk by mistake, but was stopped by Du Pingfei, "Are you blind?" Can't even see that Hongu is here? ”

Coldly being said like this, the anger in Xie Fenghua's heart suddenly rushed up, and he retorted, "It's a big night, you don't stay in the room, don't you come to wait for me?" Queen Mother, even if the emperor hurts your heart, you can't empathize and don't fall in love with me, right? ”

"What if this is the one who came to you?" Du Pingfei automatically ignored the second half of her sentence, and as soon as his voice changed, he asked, "I heard that you want to send troops?" ”

Xie Fenghua was stunned, and then smiled: "Your news is quite fast." Now that you know this, can you let me go? ”

So saying, she walked forward.

At this time, Du Pingfei said: "If the emperor wants to send troops, he will inevitably ask for help from King Beiheng." Let Bengong guess, will our King of Beiheng be willing? ”

"What do you think?" Xie Fenghua suddenly stopped, turned around and raised his eyebrows and asked.

Du Pingfei sneered: "King Beiheng is also an old fox, and a pair of children have suffered such a tragic thing, and I know that he will not be willing." Then, if the emperor wants to persuade him, he can only take special means of appeasement. ”

Her thinking was extremely clear, and when she said the word "special", her face was full of mockery, and she clapped her hands and exclaimed: "Oh, this palace thought it could be quiet for a while!" Now it seems that this is a fool's dream! ”

"The deep palace is cold and lonely, there are more people, and the mother has more fun, isn't it good?" Xie Fenghua didn't think that Du Pingfei would be afraid of any family woman sent to the deep palace.

Du Pingfei snorted coldly, thinking of this possibility, she suddenly raised a bright smile and said, "You still know about this palace." It's been a long time since your sister died, Hongu hasn't found fun. These people really don't know whether they live or die......"

Xie Fenghua didn't bother to pay attention to her, this time he really left.

Listening to the footsteps gradually moving away, Du Pingfei's strong smile finally changed to gloomy and ruthless, and the lanterns hanging on the side of the road emitted a dim light, making that face three points lonely and seven points treacherous.

When she heard the news, she felt an unprecedented irritability in her heart, but when she looked around, she didn't even have a person who could speak, and before she knew it, she walked here and stopped Xie Er.

Speaking of which, it is not ridiculous that a country has fallen to such a state.

She knew that the emperor would inevitably agree to King Beiheng's conditions, and she was not afraid of such a result, but the coldness in her heart could not be ignored, let alone eliminated, and in desperation, she could only find Xie Er to vent.

At this moment, when she raised her eyes, she could see the figure of King Beiheng gradually approaching, and she could almost imagine the vigor on that old face, and those manic emotions suddenly calmed down.

Xie Er has a good saying, as long as the emperor does not investigate her, her position as queen will be secure.

At this time, Xiao Yao happened to be looking for her, so she also walked back.

On the second day, the emperor made a decree to make the second county lord of the Beiheng Wangfu as a virtuous concubine, and returned to Beijing with him. At the same time, the 20,000 fiefdom defenders of Yunzhou subordinate to the Beiheng Wangfu went to the northern battlefield with the Yunzhou garrison.

Zhao Pei also handpicked two generals who led the army, namely Yuan Minzhou and Xie Fenghua.

On September 15, the day of the Qianju Banquet, a team of people and horses, led by the Marquis of Dingyuan and his wife, rushed to the north of Yunzhou.
