Did you guess the Mid-Autumn Festival riddle that was announced in the book review area and readership yesterday? The mystery is: five benevolences. Virtue + law, these 2 words are 4 people, plus Mu Yunxuan, it is 5 people.

The one who guessed the bean paste (all stupid), uh, the brain hole is great, like one......

The Mid-Autumn Festival red envelopes of JHAW are still continuing, so hurry up and register new users to join us! I'm waiting for you in the book review section.

* * * * * *

February in the country of the blue sea is the junction of spring cold and winter cold. Although the difference is subtle, Zhu can occasionally smell a hint of the unique warmth of the southern country in the air.

Yesterday, I heard that the old man brought a lot of authentic blue sea dishes, saying that it was easy to find a cook in the city and bring them to the merchant house to make. The implication is that the Taiye Kingdom is already an empty city.

In addition to these dishes, she was surprised to find a plate of dark pastries, which looked out of place with other dishes, and was very familiar.

Uncle Wen explained that this is a black coconut cake unique to Imulan, because the lord of the country still loves to eat it, so he specially brought it and invited her to taste it too.

Scold...... Black coconut cake.

Zhu Zhitong remembered that the first time she ate this thing was in Lao Yang's yard, and at that time she felt that it was rough and strange, and she was used to eating her sister's fine snacks, how could she eat such a pastry, but I was afraid that it was a pastry.

Da Su actually loves to eat?

But after all, he is an Imuran, and it makes sense.

I used to feel that I had the same smell as him, but I didn't think that I was so different from him, and I didn't notice it at all.

Zhu Zhitong looked at the person in the mirror, and after a few days of recuperation, her spirit has improved a lot, but she is still a little thin.

She stood up and walked outside the house, looking around.

This small courtyard is indeed exquisite and elegant, and ingenuity can be seen everywhere. It is said to be a place of seclusion, but it is not a place of rebirth for himself.

Perhaps only in such an isolated abode can one calm down completely, sort out the details that have not been noticed so far, and plan every step that needs to be taken in the future.

After all, she didn't plan to bury her bones here.

It's time to get out of here.

Uncle Wen was already standing at the door of the courtyard waiting for her.

The news came from the camp of the King of Imuran, this afternoon, the lord of the country will bring the important ministers and the detained Emperor Ming into Taiye City, and the elder brother specially told him to let Zhu Zhitong bring it after carefully dressing up, so that the lord of the country can see that they have not treated her badly.

Zhu Zhitong just smiled when she heard the news, and it didn't seem to fluctuate much, or she had expected this day.

What is they in the eyes of the Imurans?

Tribute? Sacrifice? Or loot?

Gentle felt that since the day she begged for food, it seemed as if she had gradually changed, becoming more thoughtful and less moody. Others are becoming more and more unable to see through her, while she is becoming more and more able to see through others...... Even the sense of majesty is increasing day by day, and the gentleness can almost see a little bit of Zhu Zhiling's shadow from her.

"Your Highness, the cobblestone road at the entrance of the courtyard is a little difficult to walk, please be careful."

Wen Wen was about to lead Zhu Zhitong out the door, but she stopped.

She turned her head and looked at the entire courtyard carefully, and asked softly, "Uncle Wen, what do you think of this courtyard?" ”

"This is the Golden Blade King's well-furnished residence, and it is indeed a good place to be secluded."

"Oh? It seems that Uncle Wen likes this place very much? Is it better than the smell house on Nanhua Island that day? ”

"Hehe, Your Highness said with a smile, the old Wen Mansion is just a little stupid, and there are more rare and exotic stones in it, in terms of ingenuity, it is indeed not as good as here."

"So one day let Uncle Wen live here, what do you think?"

"That's a pleasure."

"What if you want to stay forever?" Zhu Zhitong turned her head, looked at Wen Gentle and asked with a gentle smile.

Wen Wen suddenly felt the same fear again as he had done that day.

Always, which means...... Didn't you mean ......?

"It's funny, it seems that Uncle Wen has other worries on this ground, and he is reluctant to spend all his time here." Zhu Zhitong suddenly laughed, "Me too." ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the courtyard with his head held high, and never looked back.

She made her way through the winding tunnels, climbed the narrow staircase, and returned to the surface. In the courtyard in front of him, the broken wall is still there, and the head of the wall blackened by thunder and fire beads can still vaguely remind people of the autumn moon and the eagle tail that night.

Akizuki-kun...... I don't know if it will snow on Meilongyu, but this year in Taiye City is full of frost and snow, and I don't know how to do it.

You're still about the same Qiuyue who runs around for the sake of your clan, but I can't be the carefree Qingyang anymore.

If we can see each other again, maybe I can tell you that I finally understand how you felt when you gave me Magatama that night.

I don't know...... Is that an all-or-nothing gamble?

If so, maybe I'm going to do the same thing as you now.

Wen Wen stayed by her side, and when he saw that she was distracted, he said that she didn't know which way to go, so he bowed to the right.

Mo Daqiu was already waiting at the door of the courtyard, followed by a few trembling palace maids. Those palace maids naturally knew Zhu Zhitong and bowed one after another. Zhu Zhitong also recognized that it was the dress of the maid of the Laiyi Palace.

Mo Daqiu smiled and said, "These are the palace maids that we specially invited from Taiye City to serve His Highness, presumably they accompany His Highness, and some things are more convenient than us. ”

Zhu Zhitong frowned.

The palace maid invited? It was probably rushed into the Yongjin Gate and taken captive directly, right?

Looking closely, those palace maids were like frightened rabbits, and they were sincerely afraid.

"Fortunately, Your Highness is all right......" They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that although Zhu Zhitong had lost some weight, she still looked fine.

Zhu Zhitong couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Well?

The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is only one battle against the water.

In the past few days, I have tried my best to get rid of distracting thoughts, eat and sleep more, and only then have I recovered some of my energy.

My sisters are right, if you die, you are the end.

Zhu Zhitong saw that the palace maids were holding brocade boxes in their hands, and they looked very familiar, and they were all old things taken from her mother's palace, and she couldn't help but have a sour nose.

Could it be that the Laiyi Palace has been ransacked by these Imurans?

She turned her back, held back her tears and asked, "Uncle Wen, is the golden crown ready?" ”

Gently and humbly responded: "It's done, it's been placed in the Xinuan Pavilion, and Your Highness can go and have a look." ”

"Okay, I'll be guided by the trouble."

Zhu Zhitong turned around and waved his cloak, and followed Wen Wen to the west, and those palace maids naturally lined up in two columns to follow behind, just like the battle that usually followed Emperor Ming, and he was stunned.

This little girl hasn't seen her for a few days, and her words and deeds are the same as when she first entered the merchant house, and she is not the innocent appearance of the old days.

As soon as she entered the Xinuan Pavilion, Zhu Zhitong found that the table was full of objects, in addition to clothes and hairpin ornaments, there was also a tortoiseshell jade hand box in the middle. Gently and carefully opened the lid of the box, revealing a red gold crown, the head of which was a sacred bird, with eyes as slender as the moon, and two pupils in each eye, which looked like a phoenix but did not look like it.

"It's ......"

"This is the golden crown created by the old decay for His Royal Highness."

Zhu Zhitong looked at the divine bird intently, and recited out:

"In the country of the east, the sacred bird is out of the clouds.

He does not eat living creatures, but he drinks fat.

The song is like a phoenix's cry, and the sprite is not close.

Wings and eyes are for re-brightness.

…… This is not a phoenix, it is a heavy bird. ”

"Not bad...... His Royal Highness has a contemplative thaumaturgy, and his eyes are clear, which is in line with His Highness's good ability to recognize people. And the heavy bird retreats from evil owls, eliminates demons, and keeps a safe and happy land, which can be called the bird of Wang De. ”

Zhu Zhitong saw that the sacred bird on the golden crown had a slightly bent neck, and its long beak was facing upward, as if it was looking up to the sky and crying. The wings are full of wings and light wings, and the side beads are embellished, like falling feathers, which is in response to the allusion of the rebirth of the feathers.

"It's exquisite, gorgeous, and unforgettable."

He smiled gently, "It is an honor to be praised by His Royal Highness." If His Royal Highness is satisfied, then please change his clothes and crown, and in the afternoon, the old man will personally send His Highness into Taiye City. ”

"Into the city?" Zhu Zhitong was a little surprised, "Uncle Wen, didn't I hear you say before that your great witch god Wen Lan refused to arrange the place of meeting in the city?" ”

"This was indeed the case before, but things have changed a little, in fact, Your Highness doesn't have to care about these details, the most important thing is that Your Highness will be able to meet the Lord of the Kingdom and His Majesty the Emperor Ming soon."

Wen Wen still smiled, but his heart was not so relaxed.

Whether to enter the city or not, although it was only last night and overnight, he had heard that the confrontation between his brother Wen Lan and Ming Emperor Zhu Yutang was extremely fierce.

It was the elder brother's opinion that the Ming Emperor would never enter the city, but the Ming Emperor surprisingly insisted that he must enter the city before he was willing to accept the surrender. With his brother's temperament, how could he endure such bargaining, as soon as he heard Emperor Ming's words, he threatened that if Emperor Ming knew the general situation, he would obediently sign the letter in the king's tent camp according to his words, otherwise he would be tied up directly in the camp, and how could you be allowed to choose.

When Emperor Ming heard this, not only was he not afraid, but he smiled and said: "Don't think that I don't know about your fancy intestines, you have the idea to marry my daughter to your lord, and by the way, you will make this blue sea and mountains as a dowry, right?" Actually, I originally thought that this marriage was okay, but since ancient times, marriage has been the order of your parents, and if you behave in a proper manner, I will be reasonable. If you have the slightest disrespect for me, then I will not nod my head until I die. Although my daughter is young, she is the most kind and filial person, without my approval, do you think this marriage can be smooth? ”

Emperor Ming's words obviously pinched his brother's sore spot, and after thinking about it, he really felt that Su You and Emperor Ming had torn their faces before they became sons-in-law, which would surely further confirm the reputation of the Imulan people for their tyrannical nature. What's more, Su You will not allow himself to really tie up Emperor Ming.

However, seeing that there were dense dark passages in this Taiye City, he was finally relieved.

Emperor Ming seemed to see his thoughts, and said that he knew that he must be worried about the secret passage in the city. If so, there is a great way to compromise. There are only two islands on the three islands of Taiye that have secret passages, but there is no one on Taiqing Island, because it is a place to meet foreign ministers, and it is purely a place for government affairs.

The elder brother hesitated for a long time, and then compromised and agreed to Emperor Ming's request, and changed the place of the contract to the Taiqing Nine Palaces on Taiqing Island.

Emperor Ming just smiled when he heard this, and said, it's okay.
