broke the matter for the Zhang family, but Mei Niang was only slightly surprised, and sighed for a moment:

"It turns out that Mu Niang can see it."

"Silly boy ......" Zhang tears and gently hugged Mei Niang into his arms:

"Ruyi...... You were brought up by your mother, how can you not know your character? When Mrs. forced you to enter the palace, Mu Niang knew that there would be such a day...... But Mu Niang just didn't expect that you would be able to calm down and stay in that place where tigers and wolves are full of wolves for so long......

Mu Niang always thought that in less than a year, you would have to devise a way to escape......"

Zhang's eyes looked at Mei Niang, not as bright as the old woman:

"Isn't it...... Someone, stumbling on you? ”

Mei Niang bowed her head and said softly after a long time:

"Mu Niang, Ruyi will not go back. Whether it's a stumbling block or not, I won't go back. ”

Seeing her like this, Zhang just shook his head and said nothing, and said for a long time:

"Ruyi, Mu Niang knows that you are the most playful by nature, but you can't stay there for a long time...... It's just that Mu Niang advises you that in this life, there will always be a time when you need to make trade-offs - just like Mu Niang is now, Mu Niang is old and doesn't want to run around again. But for the sake of Zhu'er, Mu Niang still has to leave her hometown and go to Xiangzhou at such an age after all-there is no other reason, where Zhu'er can live a better life.

And if Zhu'er is doing well, Mu Niang will also be happy......

For Mu Niang, although the pain of leaving her hometown is unbearable...... But Zhu'er's joy was enough to make Mu Niang forget the pain. Then this trip is worth rejoicing and doing.

Ruyi, Mu Niang only asks you one sentence:

When you leave the palace, are you really happy?

If not, then you might as well leave the palace, but it is better not to leave. Because though you are outside, your heart is firmly locked by the people in the palace! ”

After Zhang finished saying this, Mei Niang was immediately stunned, as if she had lost something.

……

The next day.

Taizong was on the march when he saw Wang De hurrying in.

Seeing this, Taizong was not surprised, but nodded silently, and when the matter was agreed, he waved his hand and retreated: "But there is news in Dingzhou?" ”

Wang De shook his head with tears in his eyes and said:

"Lord...... Lord Cen, he ...... I'm afraid it's not good......"

Taizong was stunned.

……

The tenth day of the fourth month of the nineteenth year of Zhenguan.

When Taizong drove from Youzhou, he appointed Cen Wenwen with all the materials and grass, equipment, documents and records in the army.

The text sleeps at night, works diligently, never leaves the pen and the pen, until the spirit is exhausted, and the rhetoric and actions are gradually different from those of ordinary days.

Taizong's great worries are left and right:

"The text goes with me, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to return with me......"

Then she wept.

On the same day, the text was destroyed by a violent illness.

Taizong was very compassionate, and he sacrificed it with military salutes, and even carried the spirit of the carriage and horse honor guard, and buried Zhaoling in the future.

It was night, Taizong suddenly heard the drum and cried:

"The text is gone, I can't bear to hear this drum, and I want to withdraw it quickly!"

Left and right as ordered.

When the text of the position is empty, Taizong's heart is so painful that it is difficult to calm down, the eldest grandson Wuji is a person who chooses to set a new minister, and it coincides with the right concubine Xu Jingzong in Dingzhou, and Gao Shilian is in charge of important affairs, quite capable of doing things, is to ask Taizong to order.

Taizong Zhun appointed him to the post of the official inspector of the school.

When Jing Zong heard this, he was ecstatic.

On the 10th day and night of the fourth month of the 19th year of Zhenguan.

And the state, Wenshui.

It's three o'clock in the morning. Wenshui City, which is not the capital, is already quiet.

Mei Niang, dressed in dark (dark civilian men's clothing), stood in front of the gate of Yingguo Mansion, looking at the gate stupidly, recalling that when she was a child, she had come out of this gate countless times, followed her father, and went to the city together to see the scenery in the city.

At that time, what kind of mood did you feel when you went to the market?

Mei Niang thought and thought, but she couldn't remember the mood she once had. Just looked at the plaque on the gate of the Guogong Mansion and thought stupidly.

But......

Strangely, no matter how hard she tried to recall, the scenes in her mind were so vivid...... Her thoughts at that time, but she could no longer remember.

Why?

She asked herself softly:

Why?

……

After standing like this for a long time, suddenly, there was a noise and scolding in the Ying Guo Mansion. Then, with a squeak, the door squeaked and opened open.

Mei Niang was startled, hurriedly dodged back, and dodged into the shadows in the alley on one side, watching the movement in the Ying Guo Mansion.

The next moment, the door opened. The two of her subordinates, who had completely looked at each other, dragged out a noblewoman dressed as a noblewoman, and a woman she was familiar with threw out.

Then, two people she knew all too well, her third aunt and her mother, walked out one after the other.

Unlike her mother's pleading appearance, the Shan clan crossed her waist and pointed to the noble lady who was thrown on the ground, her biological sister Helan, and scolded:

"Since you don't want to find a way back for yourself, you don't have to stay in this country's mansion! Go back to your Helan Mansion! Don't make a show here, who will you see?! Today, I can tell you that you have to marry if you marry, and you have to marry if you don't!

Otherwise, you will go back to your Helan Mansion!" Don't mess around here! Your surname is Helan now, not Wu! ”

After finishing speaking, he took two subordinates, went inside, and closed the door with a "bang".

Mei Niang's heart was suddenly full of anger - although she and her sister have always been incompatible, but her sister is a sister after all, not to mention that this is her father's mansion, where is the turn to get this slut who has been inseparable from her cousin since the death of her third cousin to be Wei Nafu?!

I was resentful in my heart, and I couldn't rush to vent my anger for my mother and sister immediately, and I was really stunned - but when I thought about it, my mother was also on the side, and she would always make my sister feel better, so I endured my anger and swallowed it, just to see how my mother was.

However, what she didn't expect was that the Duchess Yang, her mother, who was ordinary and talked about everything in front of her and her sister, actually watched Shan's return to the house, and persuaded her sister:

"Shun'er, just listen to your aunt!

At the end of the day, she's for your good. Helan Anshi has been gone for so long, do you really want to be a widow for him?

Mother remembers that you told your mother a long time ago, saying that Anshi's stone character will no longer be likable, and he will only live as a five-grade petty official in the future.

Now that he is gone, don't you take this opportunity to find another son-in-law?

This Wang Daguan is from the Taiyuan Wang family, and when it comes to wealth and nobility, it is all pouring into the sky. What more could you want? ”

Wu Shun wept and threw himself into the arms of his mother, who came with her clothes:

"But mother, that ...... That Wang Daguan is an eighty-year-old man! Mother, her daughter looks not much worse than Mei Niang. Mei Niang can enter the palace as a talented person, can't she marry a husband who is more thoughtful?

Besides, although An Shimune, but her daughter is now good because of him, if she marries the king's big official as her stepfamily, won't she even be able to keep this seal?

Mother...... The daughter really didn't want to marry him...... Mother......"

Mei Niang was stunned, she couldn't believe her ears:

This...... Is it her sister? After her brother-in-law died, her sister who appeared in the court's women's office and vowed to keep the festival for the rest of her life?!

Yang sighed, then took pity on Wushun's crying pear blossom rainy face, and said hatefully:

"Alas! Speaking of which, it's Mei Niang's dead girl who is blocking us!

We have worked so hard, but she is still only a small talent, and she has never been lucky once...... I really don't know what kind of arrogance she has?! I don't want to think that I have never added a touch of glory to my home!

If she can fight for some qi as a concubine, how could we two fall to such a situation? This wild girl who is pouring heaven and death can let her hold a shelf for the rest of her life! Mother wants to see who can look at her like this! ”

When Wu Shun heard this, he was also angry, and said angrily:

"Isn't it? If it weren't her, if it wasn't her......

If it weren't for her, how could we have been bullied by this good slut for so long?! It's really in vain, mother, that you worked hard back then......

Think about it, how much effort did you go into letting this wild girl know the way of a charming and pet-loving female waiter? also specially asked Shun'er to give her the name Mei Niang......

This is a dead girl! She ......"

Wu Shun gritted his teeth and hated angrily, and scolded: "Why wasn't she the one who married the Helan family back then?" If it were her, Shun'er would have entered the palace at this moment! With the ability of the mother to teach Shun'er, don't say that it is a luan costume (concubine clothing), even a phoenix robe can be draped!!

This cheap girl who doesn't know what to do!! I only cared about myself being happy in the palace all day long, and I didn't think about us at all!! ”

When the Yang family heard this, they were even more angry, and once again mentioned the words of "Shun Zhaoyi" from the former queen, scolding Mei Niang for not knowing how to be flexible, not knowing life and death, and not pity the lonely mother and widow sister in the family......

In the dark corner, Mei Niang listened, only to feel that the heavenly spirit was cold, the whole body was cold, and a heart seemed to be frozen into a hard ice cube.

Stunned, she stood, just like that.

Mei Niang looked around.

It's pitch black, it's cold.

Only a little cold star in the sky, looking at themselves coldly in the sky.

It was a summer night in early April, but she felt that the fit was cold.

Tightly, she hugged her body, silently watching the darkness that seemed to be bottomless under her feet.

Will it fall?

She was a little confused.

Yes, a little apprehensive.

It's so dark, what if you fall?

Mei Niang's heart was cold, very empty, and even more scared.

But......

She didn't move.

Because, she doesn't know where she can go.

Up and down, left and right, in front of and behind me, there was a darkness, bottomless darkness.

Only the few cold stars in the sky still had a little bit of light, gently reflecting her.

She didn't know if the next moment, she would fall into this darkness and be swallowed by it......

She could only look up and look up at the cold stars.

If......

If she could catch one of these stars, wouldn't it be different?

Will......

Will she be able to find a place to sit?
