Zhu Zhitong saw that her sister's face was cloudy, obviously she had something hidden and refused to say it, so she turned her heart sideways at the moment, and quietly contemplated it with the technique of contemplating the heart. Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhiling looked at it in her eyes, and drank it immediately: "You are getting bolder and bolder!" Come and see me! ”

Zhao Wuyin didn't know what to do, and hurriedly persuaded: "The imperial doctor just said that you should rest and not be angry, how can you turn around and forget." Then he turned to Zhu Zhitong and said: "Sister, don't say whether this news is safe or not, now your sister is pregnant with Liujia, sick in bed, and even took a break this morning, why are you in a hurry at this time." When your sister is in better spirits, it's not too late to go to the island to find someone. ”

Zhu Zhitong heard this, and she was also a little remorseful, so she should take care of her sister's body. Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhiling was still angry and said: "Nanhua Island is the most important place in my country, how can you say that you can search it." Don't say that I'm not in good spirits today, even in a few days, I won't allow anyone to go up to the island to search! Su Xiaochen is just a foreign minister, which is more important than state affairs, you are the daughter of my Zhu clan, can't you weigh it? ”

Zhu Zhitong has never been treated like this on weekdays, even the mother emperor is reluctant to reprimand her like this, and now she is scolded by her sister for a while, and she is so heard that no one is allowed to go to the island to search, and the thoughts in her heart are cut off vividly, and she can't help but burn with anger.

They are all daughters of the Zhu family, and their temperaments are generally stubborn.

Zhu Zhitong felt that tears were rolling in her eyes, and she insisted on not letting them flow. Since it's useless to beg my sister, why spend it here? Without saying a word, she stood up, said nothing, turned and walked out. Zhao Wuyin was just about to persuade, but Zhu Zhiling shouted again: "Let her go!" No one restrains her anymore, and it becomes more and more disagreeable! ”

Seeing this scene, Yinhua also said goodbye and followed.

Zhao Wuyun sighed: "Actually, why are you so impatient with her, after all, there are some things she doesn't know." ”

Zhu Zhiling frowned and said, "I don't know why, I'm very depressed today, and I always feel that something is going to happen." Why did you say that Su Xiaochen went to Nanhua Island? What does he have to do with that? ”

Zhao Wuyun was about to speak, when Fuxing Station Chief Shi hurried in.

Zhao Wuyun looked very impatient: "Didn't you say that the dynasty would be closed today?" What is this going to do when my son comes in? ”

Changshi looked embarrassed and replied: "The military department is still in a hurry. As he spoke, he handed over the recital.

When Zhu Zhiling heard that it was the military department, she didn't care about her weakness, so she sat up and took a closer look. I saw that the more she looked at it, the more solemn her face became. After reading it, he didn't say a word, and ordered: "You all go down." ”

After everyone retreated, Zhu Zhiling handed the piece in his hand to Zhao Wuyin.

Zhao Wuyun hurriedly looked at it, and couldn't hide the surprise on his face: "Cai ...... Cai Shouxin is dead? ”

Zhu Zhiling muttered: "At the beginning, I just wanted him to go out of the city and take a turn, how could he meet the leader of the Blood Clan, the Blood Flame King, who personally led five thousand soldiers and horses to ambush outside the city, and hit ...... right one."

"This Blood Flame King shot so ruthlessly, not to mention killing Cai Shouxin, he actually rushed into the city and killed all the people in Cai Shouxin's mansion, and also hung the heads of the family on the city tower?" Zhao Wuyun gasped.

Zhu Zhiling frowned deeply and said: "Now that the fake drama is really done, and it has been done earth-shattering, attracting the military department Shangshu to come to the report in person, and the dignified prefect of a state was beheaded under the horse, and my mother should not sit idly by anymore." It's just that I've always felt a little strange, although the 5,000 men of Imulan are not much, but this is the largest number in the last four or five years. Moreover, it was the Blood Flame King who personally went south to lead the troops to ambush him, which is too much of a coincidence......"

Zhao Wuyin said in his mouth: "It is worthy of being the number one fierce god of Imuran, it is really terrifying, it can only be said that Cai Shouxin's luck is too bad." ”

Zhu Zhiling suddenly remembered something and asked, "Speaking of which, didn't this Cai Shouxin's son marry your uncle's daughter, his family has been cut off like this, isn't your uncle going to be heartbroken?" ”

She looked at her husband and was about to comfort him a few words, but she saw a sneer on her husband's face: "If you cut it, you cut it, my uncle's daughter, like her father since she was a child, humiliated me in every way, and died innocently." My uncle regarded her as the pearl of his palm, and regarded me like a mustard. Now that she's dead, I'm on the verge of it. ”

Zhu Zhiling glanced at him, a little unhappy: "Wuyan, even if they treated you in a thousand ways in the past, you are too ruthless to say this." ”

Zhao Wuyin raised his eyebrows, spread his hands and said, "It's not me who cut off his daughter, what does it have to do with me?" Besides, thanks to the loss of their family's lives, this matter has become a big problem, and you want to suggest the Northern Expedition in front of your mother. I promise you that I won't hold a grudge against her in the future. ”

After all, it was her husband, Zhu Zhiling frowned and didn't want to say anything about him, not to mention that she didn't have the leisure to have a quarrel with her husband for an outsider.

"If you help me lie down a little longer, I feel a terrible headache...... I still have to think about it, and then I will go to the Yi Palace to talk to my mother about the Northern Expedition. ”

Zhao Wuyin covered a thin blanket for her as he said, and went out of the palace as if nothing happened.

Huliang Pavilion, by the Taiye Lake.

Pale yellow reed flowers rise from dense clouds to undulation in the wind. Zhu Zhitong stared blankly at his silver-rimmed boat moored to the side, letting the waves push and surge.

Da Su, why did you go to Nanhua Island. Are you looking for something? Or did someone take you there?

Zhu Zhitong had no clue, she couldn't understand why he went there after thinking about it for a long time. But one thing she knows very well is that the only connection between Su Xiaochen and Nanhua Island is the Nanhua gold sales case in which she involved him. If this were not the case, how could he, a foreign minister, have anything to do with Nanhua Island?

Now that my sister has categorically said that she will not let people search, who else can I beg? Mother? No, no, no, my mother doesn't know that I and Da Su are in love, and if I know, it's too late to stop it. The second sister and the prince of Cangwu are married so hard, my mother will not allow me to be with Dasu.

But in this world, apart from his mother and sister, who else can help him?

Old Yang?

Not really...... Lao Yang left the palace a few days ago to go back to Imuran with his uncle to visit relatives, and I heard that it would take several days to return.

Zhu Zhitong got on the boat in a trance, flicked the oars a few times at random, and didn't know where to row, floating in the lake with the breeze.

Once upon a time, I was as carefree as he was in this blue wave, chatting with laughter and humor. After a long time, he lost his news and disappeared. What's even more strange is that Cangwu doesn't mention him, and his sister doesn't look for him, he disappears like smoke as if he never existed, and he is the only one in this world who is still chasing and thinking about him.

Da Su, as you said, as many times I carry you in a small boat, you will ride a horse to carry me as many times. Now you haven't taken me on a horse once, and you're gone? You say that with horses and boats, there is no place in this world that you can't go, but why do I feel that I don't want to go anywhere now, I can't go anywhere?

Great Su ...... Where the hell are you?

Zhu Zhitong put away the oars, set up the white Molan tent, curled up in the boat, didn't want to move, and let the boat slowly be pushed into a lotus leaf by the waves.

Suddenly, the voices of two palace maids came to her ears.

"Sister, you see that the lotus leaves over there grow better, let's go there and pick some lotus seeds."

"Okay."

"Sister, I'm tired, can you peel a few lotus seeds for me and eat them?"

"Do you want me to peel it for you? I'm tired, too. ”

"But, you're my sister, what's the point of peeling a few for me?"

The older sister sneered and said:

"You're sixteen years old, you have hands and feet, and you always ask your sister to help you, I really don't know when you can grow up."

"Sister--- sister---" The sister's voice was full of coquettishness.

The laughter of the two gradually faded away, but every word was clearly heard in Zhu Zhitong's ears.

I have hands and feet, but I always rely on my mother and my sister, and I can't achieve anything without them. Am I going to go on like this for the rest of my life?

Zhu Zhitong's mind suddenly seemed to be enlightened, she sat up suddenly, and looked at the lotus leaf bush in front of her.

Mother and sister can't help, so it's on your own!

Da Su, I will personally go to Nanhua Island to find you.

I've got to find you!

Wanhua Imperial Capital, Taishi Mansion.

In the gazebo in the back garden, Mu Yunzuo was holding a military strategy at random and looking at it, but what he was thinking about was elsewhere.

Everyone in the world says that he Mu Yunzuo is good at making decisions but not good at scheming, in fact, even if he is a good person, where is it so easy to break. He has admired his second uncle Mu Yunxuan since he was a child, and he has also inherited a lot of his second uncle's skills. Good judgment is the one thing his second uncle is best at.

The second uncle Mu Yunxuan often said that things in the world should be decided when they are decided, not by impulse, but by grasping the situation. There are pros and cons to things, there must be trade-offs, weigh the severity, and then use the brother's strategy to break the unfavorable situation is the way to win.

Remembering that it had been a year since his brother's death, he had also been dormant for a year. In the first few months, he was really sick and couldn't get up, but it wasn't as old as his mother deliberately spread outside, he was just waiting for the opportunity.

In this game of chess, no matter how his mother explained, he concluded that Emperor Wen Li Houcong had a bad heart for Mu Yun. No matter how much his brother's death had to do with Emperor Wen, in this year, he had dismantled the Muyun clan's gate valve to pieces, and there were less than one or two people in his hands in the court. And among the military attachés, there are even fewer who can obey Mu Yun's words. Now if he wants to confront Emperor Wen head-on, with the status of the monarch and the minister in front, he has no chance of winning.

The military power in his hands has been released, and the DPRK and China are gone, and it is indeed not easy to make a comeback.

Brother, what if you are still alive?

Mu Yunzuo was thinking about it when his mother Li Taijun came from outside the pavilion, looking a little hurried.

Li Taijun entered the pavilion and retreated, his face uncertain.
