Master Gu sighed and said, "Your Majesty, you are a well-deserved and unique emperor of Tianyi, and no one can replace you. Even if the emperor has a heart, he also knows that the virtuous concubine does not have the talent to command the six palaces and dominate the group, so it is difficult to find the source and stabilize the harem. And behind her is a royal family with a different surname, and the king with a different surname has the intention of retiring, and he can't help the emperor......"

"Enough!" Rong Jinhuan finally shouted, and turned his back with a wave of his sleeves, "I know that you care about the community, but I have my own measure in everything after I stand up, and I don't allow you to wait for your beak!" ”

"Your Majesty, the establishment of the queen is a matter for all the people in the world, not a matter for the emperor alone. If the minister is in his words, please think twice. Master Gu looked at the ground with his eyes and said hastily, "The minister retreats." ”

After he withdrew, Rong Jinhuan turned around angrily, and with a sweep of his arms, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table were all brushed to the ground, and most of the thick stack of documents fell off, covering the ink of the pen tip that rolled off.

Rong Jinhuan stared at the mess on the ground, the letter paper in his hand had already been crumpled into a ball, and he breathed a heavy sigh of relief for a while, looking up at the palace lamp above his head and was silent.

Master Gu got to the point, as an emperor, he shouldered the national honor for hundreds of years, and he didn't want to do it arbitrarily. But because of this, seeing that she was going south but couldn't chase her, she became more and more unwilling.

Ruoyun never knew that taking a boat was a faster way than sending a letter urgently, this clipper did not know what kind of exquisite mechanism it used, only relied on the boatman to trample, and walked in the canal as fast and steady as walking among the clouds, and now it was smooth sailing, and it was out of Fengzhou in less than three days.

The further south you go, the hotter and more humid it gets, and the trees on both sides are greener and greener. When she turned from the canal to the river, the wide water allowed her to lie on the window in the cabin all day long, and she could see the scenery of gulls and herons growing in the distance.

Although Huai Xuanmo is indifferent. There are all kinds of arrangements in the cabin, she doesn't have to go out, she takes the pills given by Huai Xuanmo on time and her body recovers a lot, she eats, sleeps and sleeps by people, and occasionally plays the piano and reads books.

The huge map hung in the main cabin, and a mustachioed, guard-leader-like man came to greet her every day, and to show her where to go.

She studied the map for a long time. I didn't understand what the circle of forks and forks meant, so I had no choice but to follow the instructions of the guard chief to know my position.

On the fourth day, the boat went down the wide river and turned to Hanoi, and the beginning was also smooth. Half a day later, the boat began to move slowly, and when it got dark, the fast boat entered the narrow river and floated slowly like a pleasure boat.

When the morning dawned, Ruoyun finished washing and eating, the captain of the guard came in and told him that he needed to change ships.

She stepped out of the cabin and looked around. I saw the clipper arrive at the mouth of the river. Ahead was a narrower river, and a small boat was tied with rope to the hull of the clipper, and half of the guards were already waiting for it.

Now not only the boatmen, but also the accompanying servants will be reduced.

If Rue hastily picked a few people and took them to change ships together, the captain of the guard only took a huge map of the ship in addition to the saber and the package.

The boat traveled along the river, and the two banks began to gradually change from hills to mountains, and the capital was already thousands of miles away.

Another day. The map under the direction of the captain of the guard was close to the marked spot, and the ship could not pass the frequent bends. So he withdrew some more people and replaced them with two batches of light boats, which could not even bring the servants, but the captain of the guard said that he would not take the waterway, and that he could only go around a mountain for half a month.

Ruoyun looked intently at the rows of pavilions that appeared in the mountains, which seemed to be half-hanging in the mountains, and there were figures from time to time as they sailed.

I don't know how long it took to reach a gap, under the bump, someone was already kneeling on the side of the ship and getting seasick, and the captain of the guard carried the package and motioned for her to change ships.

When she saw it, the river was rushing through the gap between the two mountains, and there was only a lonely bamboo raft.

"How did you get there?" Ruoyun looked back at the group of people she was carrying.

Turning her head again, the head of the guard had already jumped on the bamboo raft to greet her: "This is already the territory of the Miao people, ordinary people don't dare to make trouble here, but bringing the guards attracts attention." ”

Ruoyun nodded and obediently moved to the bamboo raft.

Unexpectedly, before she could take her things, the captain of the guard had already loosened the rope that was holding the bamboo raft, and the water was turbulent, and she exclaimed, and the bamboo raft spun around like a fallen leaf that had been beaten.

The captain of the guard seemed to be very familiar with the terrain, and he stabilized the bamboo raft as soon as he went down.

She didn't bring anything except a few small items in her sleeve pockets, Ruoyun darkened her face and glared angrily at the mustache beside her: "You kidnapped me?!" ”

The chief of the guard did not change his face when he heard this, and he smiled: "Prince Huai ordered me to send my mother to see Prince Xia, and my subordinates just acted according to orders." ”

Ruoyun hadn't yet connected, but she felt that the bamboo raft clicked, and the mountain road in front of her suddenly opened up, and then it turned out to be a slope.

"Help!" Her face turned white with fright, and she shrank behind the bamboo raft and grabbed the bamboo pole without thinking about it.

This time, the mustache changed his face, and he was busy trying to pull her up: "Sit up, it's going to capsize like this-"

Ruoyun let out a long exclamation, and felt that the entire bamboo raft was tilted over, and the guard hurriedly jumped to the other end to stabilize it, but even then the bamboo raft spun rapidly and washed down the slope.

"Poof", Ruoyun was splashed in the face, but the bamboo raft was still spinning, and she suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, until the bamboo raft hit something violently and stopped.

She touched the shore in a daze, and quickly closed her eyes and touched the bamboo raft to roll to the shore.

"Trespassers!"

"Trespassers!" A group of people shouted almost excitedly.

She closed her eyes vigorously and shook her head, and then she saw that there were seven or eight young men around her, men and women, all wearing wooden flat masks, showing two eyes, and their clothes were divided into two parts, and the pants and skirts of the lower body were only up to the knees and were intricately stained.

Behind them were stilted buildings, and the clear water of the river meandered down the hill, and the rows of pavilions lined up the mountain to the verdant summit.

Moist air, hot and dry wind......

Miao people!

When I looked again, the mustache was gone.

"I ...... I'm just lost......" Ruoyun shrank tremblingly, and wanted to say that he came to find Xia Zhuyue, the king of the south, on the orders of the emperor and King Huai, but in front of him was a Miao person who was at odds with the court all the year round, and it was said that he was rough by nature, and he was afraid that they would kill her if they knew that she was a Tianyi person, so the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, and circled in his stomach, and finally he could only pretend not to know the way.

"Lost? This is the residence of the owner of the village, can you get here if you get lost? Who are you fooling! The tall man in the lead, a woman, raised her voice and laughed at her.

There was laughter around, but Ruoyun's face turned pale - the residence of the owner of the village, the center of Miao Village! Is Xia Zhuyue lurking here or pretending to be a Miao person to eat, drink and have fun? It's killing her!

Soon someone came to tie her back with a black cloth, and walked with a push.

The heart rose to her throat, and she didn't know how long it had been or where she had gone, and she was suddenly pushed into a place, and she clearly heard the sound of the door closing behind her, and the strong smell of wine came to her nose.

She stiffened, and after a few moments someone loosened her ties and ripped off her mask.

"Yo, what a sign girl." A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl shook the rope with one hand, and raised the black cloth in her hand, looking quite bold, she snorted at her, turned around and smiled, "Boss, what to do with this person?" As he spoke, he took three steps and stood to the rattan couch.

There was a man lying on the couch, and on each side of the hall stood several samurai with spears.

"Look, how about letting her be the lady of the village?" The red lips of the people on the couch were lightly opened, and they were very enchanting.

When Ruoyun saw the person on the rattan couch clearly, her stiff limbs made her tremble as if she was unconscious: a person on the rattan couch was leaning back, her crimson clothes were half-revealing her chest, her black hair was scattered, her evil lips, her smiling but cold eyes, and a strong dizzying incense and the smell of wine came.

Looking at him again, Ruoyun suddenly gasped, the mustache had changed into the Miao people's costume and stood on the side, without looking at her, it seemed that it had nothing to do with him after completing the task.

"If you're in charge, you'll laugh." The woman giggled, not shy at all, and looked at Ruoyun directly, "This posture is almost the same as a sister, a lady?" Hehehe, I think she is a spy sent by Tianyi, but if you want to charm you, you are still three points behind. ”

The woman smiled disapprovingly, and the people on the couch also sneered.

Ruoyun bit her lip tightly, who is this person not Xia Zhuyue?

But he is the king of the south who has mediated with the Miao people for more than ten years, and the king of the south who conquered the southern Xinjiang on behalf of Tianyi.

He threw the mess of the household department into the hands of Lord Gu for many years because of the chaos, and the emperor also acquiesced. But in this situation, he is clearly the "master" of Miao Zhai and the leader of the Miao people.

Occasionally come over to play tricks? Undercover? For a while, thousands of questions slipped through her heart, but she had only one thought: she must not talk nonsense.

"Spies? Forget it in prison, and feed it to wild beasts when you starve to death. Xia Zhuyue's lips opened and closed, looking at her playfully.

Ruoyun stared but didn't dare to speak for fear of causing trouble, so the woman giggled and beckoned someone to come over and tie her up again.

Obviously, he had seen her many times before, but now Xia Zhuyue didn't look at her again as if he hadn't seen or knew her at all.

She was thrown into prison, a wooden fence made of the gaps in the pillars of the stilted building, and if she had not been unarmed, a strong man would have kicked it open. Not only that, but from here you can clearly see the people coming and going in front of the largest building, some urgent reports, and some visits.

When night fell, the entire Miao Village was lit with torches and fire lights, and from a distance, it seemed like the stars on the ground shining endlessly. In front of the pavilion, there was a girl dressed in colorful clothes and wearing a towering Miao silver official hat, standing on the stairs with a large bowl of wine and singing a song she did not understand.

The number of visitors increased, some old and some young, all men, most of them pushed their wine upstairs. There are also men with beards on their backs, half of their bodies surrounded by furs, taking the big wine bowl and drinking it all, and the girls excitedly come up to persuade the wine, and go upstairs with the strong man who drinks heavily.
