Things on the northeast border have finally made progress.

Zhang Shuo has sent back the latest news, saying that he has obtained evidence of the local officials' crimes, and now, just by interrogating them, he will definitely get what he wants.

However, soon after the good news arrived, bad news came again.

Among the witnesses who were secretly controlled by Zhang Shuo, one of them was the most crucial, but he suddenly escaped yesterday.

In other words, everything that Zhang Shuo has found now has become empty words, unless the person who escaped is found.

"How long have you been on the run?"

"Three days."

"Pay close attention to the people who have entered the imperial capital recently, especially the disaster victims, and report to me in time if there is anything wrong."

"What do you mean?"

"We all know where that man's backer is, and since he has escaped, he will definitely look for his own backer, so as not to attract our attention, I guess most of them will disguise themselves and blend in with the refugee crowd and wait for an opportunity."

Qing Xuan nodded, "My subordinates will go here." ”

"Wait."

"What else do you command?"

"Closely monitor the ...... of Shangshu Mansion"

"Yes."

After Qing Xuan left, Shang Yunqian's face was full of sadness, "My lord, do you think Li Wenhai will jump over the wall in a hurry and kill that person directly?" ”

"This is indeed the greatest possibility, so we must find out that person before Li Wenhai."

"There is a vast sea of people, and if he really blends into the crowd, it will undoubtedly be looking for a needle in a haystack."

Qin Muhan touched Shang Yun's shallow furry little head, he had suddenly liked this action recently.

"There are always flaws, don't worry."

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

The crown prince twilight Xiuran knelt in front of the desk.

The old emperor sat on the top and was not angry and arrogant.

"What is this doing, prince?"

"The son knows that he is guilty, so he has come to ask his father for his guilt."

"What is the prince's sin?"

"Erchen ......"

Without waiting for Twilight Xiuran to finish speaking, the old emperor spoke to himself, "It was originally a great opportunity, but you gave this opportunity to win people's hearts to others, and you are indeed guilty. ”

Hearing this, Du Xiuran's face changed drastically, and he kowtowed several times one after another, "Erchen was thinking that he would lend a helping hand when those victims were desperate." At that time, the effect will be better, but I didn't expect that Qin Muhan would take the lead. Erchen ......"

The emperor glanced at Twilight Xiu Dye, unable to see his joy or anger.

Twilight's words came to an abrupt end.

The palms of the hands have overflowed with beads of sweat.

As soon as he was nervous, he blurted out the thoughts in his heart, if his father blamed him, then he ......

The emperor sighed, as if he hadn't heard anything else in his words, "Qin Muhan is very ambitious, how could he let go of such a great opportunity?" You, after all, are still too young. ”

"It's the son's fault, and I ask my father to punish him."

The emperor played with the glass cup in his hand, which was blood-red and blood-red, like human blood.

His tone was indifferent, and there was no emotional fluctuation at all, "Punishment? What can change? ”

"But ......"

"Those who have achieved great things are not informal, and since they already know where the mistakes are, they can find ways to remedy them."

Twilight Xiuran's brows furrowed, "It's come to this, what else can my son do!" ”

The emperor's voice was neither happy nor angry, "Qin Muhan wants a good reputation, so you will destroy it, so, it's difficult?" As he said this, he squinted at Twilight. But I just happened to see that Twilight Xiu was distracted, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.

"It's not difficult, it's just that if Qin Muhan wants to ruin his reputation, he must ......"

The old emperor snapped his backhand, and the blood-red cup smashed in front of the case, "It's just a few cheap lives." ”

Hearing this, the worry in Du Xiuran's heart completely fell, and he withdrew his gaze from the glass cup and kowtowed again, "Thank you for mentioning it, my son-in-law knows what to do." ”

"Hmm."

Just as Twilight Xiuran breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor's voice came again.

"Recently, is there any news from the Northwest Border?"

Hearing this, Twilight Xiuran's expression that had just relaxed became tense again.

He quietly glanced at the emperor and said cautiously, "I heard that the seventh brother has won the trust of the frontier soldiers, and he will send troops soon, presumably, he will soon hear the news of the triumphant return of the seventh brother." ”

"Smack." The blood-red glass cup finally broke away from the emperor's palm and smashed straight to the ground, shattering to the ground in an instant.

There was a debris splashed on the back of Twilight Xiu's hand, and blood immediately overflowed, but Twilight Dye didn't dare to move at all.

He didn't even know where the emperor's anger came from.

"Your people, how can they be so useless, just half a month, and they have surrendered to others."

"Father." Twilight immediately lowered her head, but she didn't dare to say more than half a word.

The alarm bell sounded in my heart, and I didn't understand whether the emperor's words were a temptation or something else.

He did arrange for people to come over, not only him, but also other princes.

It's a tacit secret.

But it's also done covertly enough.

But I didn't expect that the emperor actually knew it.

It's just that what does my father mean by mentioning it at this moment?

Blame him for being indiscriminate, and the enemy should secretly make small moves, or do you really think that he is useless, and he can't even fight a person who has lived in the cold palace for a long time?

"I have taught you since I was a child, do anything, never be kind to a woman, child, your recent performance, really make me very dissatisfied."

It's a very soft tone, but it just makes Twilight Xiuran sweat.

At this moment, nothing is right, you can only admit your mistake.

Twilight Xiuran lowered his head and his attitude was sincere, "It's the fault of the sons." ”

No matter what the emperor was thinking, anyway, it was his twilight cultivation that was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

"Erchen, Erchen......"

Twilight kept looking at the Emperor, and although he was his father, he felt that he had never known him.

Yes, I have never been able to guess his thoughts.

Although I admit my mistakes, I don't know how to tell them exactly what is wrong.

The emperor sighed slightly, "It's just a concubine, for so many years, you have given him the opportunity to appear in front of the world, this is one of them." ”

"Yes......"

"It appeared when it appeared, but you should not show mercy to his subordinates and give him a chance to lead the battle, this is the second thing."

"Erchen is just thinking that at the moment of the great enemy, everything should be put down first, and the enemy should be solved first......"

"Fart."

The emperor said angrily.

"How many capable people have I had? Will there be a lack of a Twilight? No matter how bad it is, isn't the business war good? Let him go to war, I, there is no shortage of people who lead troops to fight. Moreover, I don't take the provocations of such small countries to heart. ”

The beads of sweat on Twilight's forehead finally fell.

"The son knows his mistake."

"Reflect on these two things and think about how to deal with them."

"Yes."

"Kid."

"The son is here."

"You should know that I have always had high hopes for you."

This is the first time that the emperor has clearly expressed his heart to Twilight Xiuran, and Twilight Xiuran was instantly panicked, but the excitement in his heart was constantly magnified.

"You, don't let me down on you."

"Thank you, father, my son knows."

The emperor waved his hand, as if he was tired, "Go down." ”

"The retainers retired."

After Twilight Xiuran left, the emperor snorted coldly, and then smashed the fold in his hand.

In his eyes, there was gloom.

There are really too many people thinking about his country.

That being the case, let's let them eat the dog first.

Only in this way can he see clearly who is who, what is their mind, and what is their mind.

In the past few days, Shang Yunqian has been helping people in the suburbs.

The good reputation of the second lady of the General's Mansion also spread out because of this.

"Second Miss and Nine Thousand Years Old are good people, not only providing food and shelter for the victims, but also doing everything themselves."

"It's just that at the critical moment, you can see who is good for our people."

"I heard that the second lady's grandfather also sent a large amount of supplies, which solved the urgent needs of the victims."

"Speaking of which, Mrs. Ye is a really good person, taking it from the people and using it for the people, over the years, he has sent countless materials to the border soldiers."

"The second lady's family are all good people."

……

Rumors like this made Shang Yunyan immediately angry.

She also gave soup to those untouchables in the imperial capital, why didn't anyone remember her?

Damn it.

"Miss, you dissipate your anger, let's go back to discuss with the eldest lady."

Shang Yunyan remembered to stomp his feet, but he also knew that there was no other way at present.

When she returned to the General's Mansion, the eldest lady had a sad face.

Looking at the table of delicacies, Shang Yunyan was anxious, "Mother, but father went to find that slut again?" ”

The eldest lady came back to her senses, and in just a few months, the power in her hands had been taken away by the business war.

It's all in the hands of the mother and daughter.

At this moment, her face was full of sorrow, her face was haggard, and she no longer had the arrogant momentum of the past.

"I don't know what kind of witchcraft that slut has used recently, and he has fascinated your father."

Shang Yunyan was disdainful, "It's a fox, what other means can it be." ”

"Yan'er, you mean?"

"I've heard that people from that kind of place are the best at those, and men are animals that think about problems in the lower body, don't you like those?"

"Yan'er, you ......" The eldest lady was shocked, as if she didn't expect these words to come out of the mouth of her daughter who was out of the cabinet.

Shang Yunyan didn't care about this, "Mother, you are also everyone's lady, the eldest brother is Shangshu, and the elder sister is the concubine, what a noble identity is this, how can you let that slut ride on your head?" ”

"What does that mean?"

A touch of viciousness flashed in Shang Yunyan's eyes, and he whispered a few words in the ear of the eldest lady.

The eldest lady's face changed abruptly.

"Right now, your father loves her the most, if I treat her like this, I'm only afraid of ......"

"At most, Father hated you for a while."

The eldest lady hesitated, "Now, I have lost your father's favor, if I let him hate him again, then ......"

"Mother, I can't bear the child to catch the wolf, no matter how bad it is, that's it, can my father still divorce you for a concubine who can't be on the stage?"

The eldest lady hesitated, thinking that Shang Zhan was with that slut every day, and the hatred in her heart finally replaced reason.

Yan'er is right, no matter how bad it is, it's like this, what else can I do?

The eldest lady is arrogant by nature, how could she be willing to succumb to a lowly prostitute?

"This matter needs to be planned well, Yan'er, don't worry, this general's mansion can only be mine after all."

Seeing that the eldest lady had a fighting spirit again, Shang Yunyan was finally relieved.

After all, only when the eldest lady has a stable position, she has the capital to compete with Shang Yunqian.

With an idea in her heart, the eldest lady observed the Shang Yunyan around her.

After seeing Shang Yunyan's face full of anger, he asked with concern.

"How did Yan'er come to my mother today, but what happened?"

Shang Yunyan looked dissatisfied and told all the things he heard on the street.

The eldest lady lowered her eyes and pondered, but she had an idea in a moment.

"Yan'er, don't forget, that Shang Yunqian is your sister."

"I don't have a sister like her. Mother, how can you ......"

Shang Yunyan was halfway through speaking, looking at the smiling face of the eldest lady, he finally realized that something was wrong, "Mother's meaning ......"

The eldest lady nodded, Shang Yunyan frowned slightly, and carefully read the eldest lady's words, and finally understood the meaning.

"I know what to do, thank you Mother."

The next day, Shang Yunqian was in full swing, and a luxurious carriage slowly drove up.

There are countless wind chimes hanging around the curtain, and the pink curtain shows that the person inside is a woman.

Everyone was puzzled, the people here were all refugees, and people like these dignitaries were even more worried about being infected with bad luck and did not want to approach.

And Shang Yunqian and Qin Muhan, they never take a sedan chair when they come here.

They all came on horseback.

As soon as the fancy carriage approached, everyone curiously emerged from the tent.

"It's just a good time."

Shang Yunqian hooked his lips slightly, and at this time, the carriage had stopped, and a delicately dressed woman came out of the carriage.

The woman's face is painted with elaborate makeup, her body is covered with all kinds of jewelry, and she wears a white pleated skirt.

At the corner of his mouth, there was a smile.

Obviously, Shang Yunyan was very satisfied with the way he appeared, and he was also quite satisfied with the performance of these people.

"Second sister."

She spoke, her voice soft and melodious, and as she walked, the jewelry on her body clanged from the impact.

The crowd became more and more puzzled.

His eyes kept looking at Shang Yunqian and Shang Yunyan.

Shang Yunqian was dressed in a simple gray shirt, and there were no accessories on his head, so he only tied it with a simple peach hairpin and bundled it into a high cluster.

At this moment, she rolled up her sleeves and was picking vegetables.

However, Rao is such a simple dress, it still makes people feel unattainable.

As for the one opposite, it looks beautiful at first glance, but when you look closely, the stiff smile on her face only makes people feel fake.

The woman next to her heard Shang Yunyan's voice and couldn't help but speak, "It turned out to be the second miss's sister, and she looks so good." ”

The clothes are also very good-looking.

Shang Yunqian nodded slightly, a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, "How could the eldest sister come over?" ”

"What, this place, can't the eldest sister come?"

"Naturally, I can come, but my sister really doesn't know, eldest sister, what can you do when you come here?"

One sentence made Shang Yunyan's face change.

"Naturally, I'm here to help." Immediately, as if she was worried that Shang Yunqian would say something more exciting, she said quickly, "No matter what you say, you are also from the General's Mansion, how can I, as a sister, watch my sister work hard alone." ”

Everyone knew that the second lady was ordered by the General's Mansion.

"The general is really a good person, eldest lady, thank you for us."

Listening to the praise around him, the corners of Shang Yunyan's lips hooked slightly, and a big smile bloomed.

Sure enough, as long as you come and go, everyone will attribute the credit to the General's Mansion, not to her business.

"What do you mean by this, eldest sister?" Shang Yunqian raised his voice and said, "The tent here is provided by the nine thousand years old, the personnel, it is registered and transferred by the nine thousand years old, the food and clothing for the first few days are also provided by the nine thousand years old, and these recent ones are also from my grandfather alone, everything I do is also my own initiative, what does it have to do with the general's mansion?" ”

Hearing this, everyone finally understood.

It turned out that this eldest lady was here to steal credit.

No wonder the dress is flamboyant.

After thinking about it clearly, there was only a lot of disgust left for Shang Yunyan.

These people, because they have experienced inhuman torture, are also able to see people's hearts more clearly.

And what they hate the most is this kind of person who wants to come out and steal the limelight after everyone has done everything.

For a while, everyone was going to do what to do, and they all returned to the tent in a puff of smoke.

Shang Yunyan's eyes widened, and he forcibly held back his anger.

These untouchables, when they saw her, didn't salute, and now, they still collectively ignore her.

In my heart, I swore secretly.

When she becomes a human being, she will definitely beat these untouchables to death.

"What did the second sister say, you are from the General's Mansion, and your grandfather is also our grandfather, why do you need to open like this?"

Shang Yunqian couldn't help but roll his eyes.

With such a trick, I don't know how stupid she was in her previous life, and she would let her play in a group?

IQ is worrying!

Seeing that Shang Yunqian ignored her, Shang Yunyan had no choice but to approach Shang Yunqian.

Since she has already come here, there is no reason to go back empty-handed.

Today, no matter what, you have to fight your reputation first.

"Second sister, I'll help you."

With a touch of cunning in his eyes, Shang Yunqian really stood up, "It just so happens that I still have some things to deal with, since the eldest sister wants to help me so much, then today, you can do everything I usually do." ”

Without waiting for Shang Yunyan to speak, Shang Yunqian said loudly to the surroundings, "Don't be polite, everyone, my eldest sister and I are a family, and what everyone treats me on weekdays, I will do to my eldest sister." ”

Several women chuckled under their breath, and the sound of a shuffled cheer rang out around them.

Shang Yunyan's face turned pale, she just came to see, she didn't think about really doing something.

"Second Miss go and get busy if you have something, don't worry, we will not be polite."

Hearing their voices, Shang Yunqian smiled even more, "Then please take care of my eldest sister more." ”

After that, Shang Yunqian took off the apron on his body, regardless of the many oil stains on it, and stuffed it into Shang Yunyan's hands, "Sister, I'm sorry for you." ”

Shang Yunyan instinctively wanted to throw it out, but the pungent smell of oil smoke made her very uncomfortable.

And the top was dirty, and her skirt was stained.

This is a good Yunjin, a new product that her aunt just gave her......

However, even if he didn't want to, he scolded Shang Yunqian thousands of times, and on his face, he could only smile, "Don't bother, don't bother, second sister go quickly, here, just leave it to me." ”

"Then thank you, big sister."

Shang Yunqian let out an extremely dazzling smile, and then pressed Shang Yunyan on the grass where she was sitting before.

Although there are some simple pads, Shang Yunyan will still look good in white.

Shang Yunyan immediately bounced up, but just as his body was about to move, he was pressed down by the woman beside him.

"Miss, you know how to cook, right? Come on, come on, this one for you. ”

As she spoke, she handed a black frame to Shang Yunyan, and her hands that had just made firewood immediately dyed two large black handprints on Shang Yunyan's white sleeves.

"Miss, you'll make a fire, right? Come on, come on, this burning stick is for you, remember that the fire can't be broken when cooking. ”

"Miss, you don't have a problem picking vegetables, right? Come on, come on, this one for you. ”

As he spoke, he put another basket on Shang Yunyan's body.

In that basket, at this moment, there are still vegetable roots that have just been picked and are still with thin mud.

Shang Yunyan was frightened.

Frightened eyes, staring at everything in front of him.

She is the daughter of the General's Mansion, she has grown so big that she has never even served a plate, let alone done such rough work.

The current battle really scared her a lot.

She wanted to run, but it had come to this point, everyone already knew her identity, and if she ran like that.

I'm afraid that tomorrow it will be more ugly.

She is the future crown princess, and there can be no stain on her body!

Shang Yunyan gritted his teeth, looking at Shang Yunqian, who had turned over and left, he had to suppress the fear in his heart.

Trembling, he said, "I...... I'm here to help the second sister, just give me what the second sister usually does, as for these ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a woman, "These are what the second lady usually does." ”

Shang Yunyan wanted to cry without tears.

Just want to hit the wall.

knew that Shang Yunqian was working so hard to get a good reputation, so she should have thought of another way.

"Miss, hurry up, the rice is going to be mushy."

"Miss, have you washed the dishes?"

"Miss, the fire is almost extinguished......"

So, in the midst of everyone's calls, Shang Yunyan ran here and there, but he couldn't do anything well.

The white dress on her body has lost its original color.

The delicate makeup has also become messy, and the hair that was meticulously combed before has now become a chicken nest.

Even the slender jade hands that don't touch the spring water with ten fingers are now covered with blood blisters, and the pain makes her want to cry at any time.

However, even if she has worked so hard, these people still can't see her at all.

"Oh, are you really the second miss's sister? A family comes out, the second lady is so capable, why don't you know anything? ”

"Oh my God, it's not enough to succeed and more to lose, so you better go and rest, don't make trouble."

So, in the midst of everyone's scolding and scolding, Shang Yunyan, who was embarrassed, was pushed out.

She looked at the busy crowd with dull eyes, and got into the luxurious carriage, and finally couldn't cry.

Why?

She worked hard all day, and in exchange, she was still scolded.

Why!

Why do these pariahs dare to insult her like this!

What qualifications do they have?

Listening to the crying inside, the maid asked worriedly, just now, the eldest lady dismissed them all and did not let them participate, yes, Shang Yunyan is now wronged, and they are even more worried.

"Miss, you ......"

"Go home."

Shang Yunyan suppressed her crying, even if she wanted to cry, even if she was wronged, she couldn't lose her grace in front of these untouchables.

She is the supreme eldest lady.

"Really gone?"

"You seem to be crying?"

"Ah, aren't we going too far?"

"How should the second lady explain when she comes back?"

"Hey, but then again, how can someone as good as Miss Second have such a rude sister?"

"That's it, she doesn't look like a good person at first glance, how can anyone come to help and dress like a flower butterfly?"

"Not really."

"Forget it, what should everyone do. Don't talk nonsense here, and don't make trouble for Chitose-sama and Second Miss. ”

"Yes, yes, you can't make trouble for the second lady and the adults......"
