The first snow in Weiyang Palace is really beautiful. After seeing the scenery of the four seasons, when the prosperity is gone, those purple and red are gradually fading, and this white world makes people feel more calm.

In the courtyard behind the Jiaofang Palace, there is a delicate small pavilion, after the snow falls, the people of the palace who are full of interest of Queen Chen lay several cases of felt carpets in it, build a charcoal stove, and slowly cook tea and enjoy the snow.

The queen has not been so leisurely and elegant for a long time, and more than a dozen palace maids are waiting beside her, and they are all relaxed. When Chu Yu was pulled to sit next to the queen, no one made a fuss, because everyone in the Jiaofang Palace knew that Chu Yu was the queen's forbidden body.

Chu Yu is not a woman who is too captivating, but there seems to be a kind of magic power in her body, which can make people unconsciously have a good impression of her. Since she entered the palace and received the favor of Empress Chen, she has not done anything to bully people, but she has been very good to everyone in the Jiaofang Palace. Even the queen has been affected by many of her infections, and her temperament is much gentler than before.

Therefore, the people in the Jiaofang Palace were secretly a little grateful to Miss Chu Yu. Although she and the queen mother sat together, some violated the palace etiquette, but since there were no outsiders, no one dared to say anything.

Empress Chen, who is dressed in red palace makeup, is a very beautiful woman herself, she has liked to dress up since she was a child, but a few years ago because of her discord with the emperor, she lost that leisure. Recently, because of the good mood, under the costume, in the snow, it looks even more radiant and glamorous.

The delicate hand, holding up the small tea cup with a silk handkerchief, the fragrance is moving, flowing in this space. Although there are thousands of waves in his heart, his face is not moving, Chu Yu is dressed in a plain white embroidered brocade skirt, looking at the appearance, but it is very weak.

"Chu Yu, I grew up in the mansion since I was a child, and I have never been far away. When he arrived in the palace, he never took half a step out of Chang'an City. Is the world in the snow outside really as vast as you say? ”

The queen took the tea offered by Chu Yu, felt the wisps of fragrance, remembered the outside situations that Chu Yu had told her, and couldn't help but ask casually.

"Queen Mother, the outside world is naturally different from the palace. In such snowy weather, everything that cannot be seen at a glance is plain white, and the world has become empty, even some stagnant thoughts can be put down. ”

The fragrance brushed between her eyebrows, and there was a yearning look in her eyes, and Empress Chen sighed faintly.

"I'd rather live that than here. No worries, less worries, and a comfortable life. ”

"This kind of thing, the queen only thinks about it in her heart. You are a golden branch and jade leaf, an incomparably noble body, how can you endure the hardships of the people outside the palace?" Chu Yu said softly. The queen had told her about her thoughts, and she knew that she was not talking casually, but that she had many such thoughts in her heart.

"The world only knows that the royal family is magnificent, and the wealth is infinite, but they don't know how to tell the pain under this scenery? but also always compete for calculations and intrigues. Where can it compare to ordinary people and harmony, unrestrained! ”

Chu Yu felt that her mood seemed to be a little abnormal today, so she glanced at it secretly, and saw a trace of sadness on Empress Chen's beautiful face, and there seemed to be a flash of crystal in her eyes.

Chu Yu naturally didn't know that the noble woman on the other side was just touching the scene, remembering that in the years when she was a childhood sweetheart, there was a young man who held her hand in such a snowy field and counted the six-petal ...... of snowflakes.

The snow gradually became heavier, and the flying flowers and jade seemed endless. Two women of different identities and similar ages, sitting and talking to each other, red makeup like blood and white as snow, extremely enchanting, this was originally a beautiful picture.

The faint sound of footsteps from far and near broke through this tranquility and the heart of the woman in white. It seemed that something had shattered suddenly, but Chu Yu still lowered his head, quietly poured the last cup of tea, and put it back in front of Empress Chen, who knew nothing. It's time to come, it's finally here......!

It snowed for three days, and Chang'an City was covered with a thick layer. When the world reappeared before me after the day cleared, it was all silvery white. The white snow covered everything, including the palace, the city walls, the streets, the houses, and the untold sadness, blood, and cruel truth.

The ordinary people in Chang'an City didn't know what kind of thrilling things had happened in this heavy snowfall. They opened the door and began to sweep the snow in the courtyards and in front of the doors. The days were as usual, the city gates had been sealed for several days, and when I heard that today they had finally opened, they began to prepare for those who had something to go out.

On the main streets of the city, there are also many figures, and it is natural that the people who began to organize people to clean up the snow in the market so early are naturally Lord Yao Shang of the Chang'an Mansion and his officials.

Not far from Suzaku Street, in that spacious alley, is where the Changle Marquis Mansion is located. Although the people in the house got up early and started to busy their own business, everyone was light to avoid making too much noise. The housekeeper Yuanyi led the people, cleaning the snow everywhere, and while softly instructing things, he looked back from time to time to see if the door of his marquis's room was open. Everyone in the mansion was in the same mood as him, and he was always uneasy in his heart when he didn't see the little marquis standing in front of him as he did in the past.

Changle Hou Yuanzhao was injured, it was a serious injury, and a powerful crossbow pierced through his right chest, passing through his body, if it hadn't deviated by a few inches, it would have hit the heart. The crossbow bolts were fired from the nine-armed chain crossbow, and Yuan Zhao himself never imagined that one day, he would almost die under the weapon he had developed with his own hands!

The people in the mansion didn't know how the little marquis was injured, and when he was carried back by Zhao Yuan, the blood had already stained half of his body. Zhao Yuan, who was like a mad tiger, carried him on his back and ran back from the Suzaku Gate in one breath in the heavy snow, Yuan Zhao forcibly suppressed the qi machine and did not let the blood veins churn, so as not to aggravate the injury. He only gave an order to Yuan Yi, who ran over in a panic: "From now on, close the door of the mansion, and don't let anyone in!"

Then, he went back to his room to apply medicine to heal his wounds.

Looking at the blood dripping from far and near in the snow, the guards of the Yuan Mansion who automatically surrounded him saw the always gentle butler Yuan shoot a terrifying light in his eyes, and his face was full of grandeur. He is not a mediocre gatekeeper, but the old Xifengwei who came over in the bloody storm back then.

"Open the arsenal, the swords, bows and crossbows that the little marquis has equipped us with, it's time to see blood!"

What kind of skills Yuan Zhao is, they all know very well, if he can seriously injure him, the other party's mental martial arts can be seen. The eighteen masters who came out of the Changle Palace, except for Yuan Thirteen, who was brought to the ship by Yuan Zhao, the rest were all here. The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days is a time to use soldiers. It's time to repay the kindness of the little marquis!

However, their loyalty was not put to good use. Soon after, the patrol guards of the brigade arrived, and under the orders of the emperor and under the personal leadership of the patrol general Gongsun Ao, the Changle Marquis Mansion was heavily guarded. On the night of Chang'an, the snow is full of bow knives!

For unknown reasons, the expected enemy did not reappear. Three days later, when the closed door of the little marquis opened, Leng Shuang, who had been waiting on the side, came out of it with some changes of clothes.

"How's it going? ...... the injuries of the little marquis?" Everyone gathered around, looking anxious and worried.

Zhao Yuan had already left the city overnight and returned to Changle Yuan to deliver the letter. The sisters of the Leng family have been taking care of Yuan Zhao inside for the past few days and nights. Leng Shuang's face was a little haggard, but seeing everyone's worries, she hurriedly showed a relieved smile: "It's okay!" Xiao Hou Ye was already active on his own yesterday, I can't believe that he has recovered so quickly. Well, he told you not to worry, he just needs to think about something quietly, and the injury is fine. ”

Hearing her say this, everyone's hearts finally let go. Thankfully, as long as it's okay! The little Hou Yeji people have their own natural appearance, and in the 10,000 horse army of the Huns, they all came back unharmed, in this Chang'an City, no matter how dangerous it is, it will not take his life!

Of course, this is everyone's wishful thinking. In fact, deep in their hearts, they all knew that the little marquis must have encountered something very dangerous this time, otherwise he would never have been so seriously injured.

They weren't wrong at all. Even Yuan Zhao himself didn't expect that in Chang'an City, it was like a tiger's den in Longtan, and there was such a powerful force in secret. He was reclining on the side of the couch, quietly looking at the crossbow bolt stuck in the desk.

"Hehe, the nine-armed chain crossbow...... I have heard people say that after walking a lot in the mountains, you will eventually meet a tiger. Another way is, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet. I didn't believe it all along, but I didn't expect that this time I almost died here. This is the legendary way of the other, is it still the way of the other? ”

Seeing the self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth, Leng Xue, who was adding a carbon fire in the furnace next to him, also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. That day, she and her sister saw that little Hou Ye was covered in blood, and her heart was about to stop beating. The sharp crossbow arrow pierced through his body, and such an injury was simply terrifying.

In the past few nights, looking at the blood oozing from the wound wrapped by Yuan Zhao, and the way he was sleeping, she didn't know how many times she had secretly cried. Now, he's finally smiling like he used to be again. As long as you see his smile, you are no longer afraid of big things!

"Those bad people are hateful! Dare to sneak attack secretly, where did they get the nine-armed chain crossbow, little marquis, you have to check it carefully! ”

The sisters of the Leng family have small wrist crossbows specially customized for them by Yuan Zhao, and they know the power of this crossbow arrow very well.

Yuan Zhao shook his head slightly, there was no way to investigate such a thing. Compared with tracking these downs, what he wants to know most now is what happened to the situation in the Weiyang Palace......?
