Zuo Ying stared at the scarlet feather's eyes, which were always like a clear water eyes that were pulled by worry and happiness at the moment, and the calm lake seemed to be wrinkled by the wind, rippling, and people couldn't help but want to reach out to smooth it.

"Yu'er, I believe in you." She lifted her chin slightly, and pressed her peach lips to Scarlet Feather's dry lips.

Scarlet Feather's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he felt and saw in an instant, but before he could tell it, he was already pulled by a tingling sensation of electric shock that quickly spread from his lips to his whole body, almost instinctively holding Zuo Ying's pink cheeks with both hands, sucking her soft lips like a thirsty fish, and his tongue involuntarily and greedily slid deep and begged. When the tip of his tongue touched the moist and slippery softness in the depths, and felt its response to his enthusiasm, his heart couldn't help but tremble deeply, and an unprecedented happiness filled his chest in an instant, just like the distress, confusion, and sorrow in life...... All of them turned into smoke and dust in an instant, and there was only a full happiness left in life, and it was about to overflow into tears.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness and Taishi Helan Chu ask to see—" The voice of the doorman came.

As soon as the doorman's voice fell, Ashina, who had not taken off his armor, had already strode in. Immediately afterwards, I saw Helan Chu, who was frowning slightly, walking in with steady steps.

Ashina saw Zuo Ying lying on the bed indefinitely, walked quickly to her bedside and knelt down and said, "Why are you injured again?" Isn't it serious? Let me see where it hurts? ”

Zuo Ying smiled and reached out to brush Ashina's hair that was stained with sweat and blood on his forehead and said, "It doesn't matter to me. She turned to Helan Chu, who was kneeling on the ground and saluting, and said, "Aiqing is flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Helan Chu stood up, bowed and said, "Tell Your Majesty, our army will pursue with victory." It's overwhelming. Fang just came to report that Pingzhou City had also fallen. The ministers expected that within three days, the thieves would be defeated on all fronts, and the rebellion of the Six Dust Cult could be quelled. ”

Zuo Ying was pleased to hear it and said, "Very good." Aiqing and the soldiers have worked hard. Tomorrow, I will personally set up a banquet to reward all the soldiers and soldiers, and reward everyone for their meritorious deeds. ”

"Thank you for your majesty's deep grace on behalf of the soldiers." Helan Chu bowed and said, "However." Please take care of the dragon's body for Your Majesty, and everything is secondary. ”

Zuo Ying smiled: "Aiqing doesn't have to worry, I'm fine." ”

"Your Majesty. The minister has another thing to say. Helan Chu said, "The vanguard troops who attacked Pingzhou City found a person in the prison of Pingzhou City, claiming to be Concubine Yun. ”

Everyone in the room knew why Helan Chu would be so cautious about saying this. After experiencing the trouble of the art of shapeshifting, it is difficult for people to easily judge whether these things are true or false.

But this news is still worth rejoicing for Zuo Ying, at least she can know that Li Yunshen may still be alive.

"Bring him to me." Zuo Ying said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Please retire first. After Helan Chu finished speaking, he withdrew from Zuo Ying's bedroom.

Helan Chu left. The temperature in the room seemed to be a few degrees higher.

Ashina looked at Scarlet Feather and smiled, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said in surprise: "Good boy, you are really the one who instigated the rebellion, you are not dead!" They say someone recognizes you, and I don't believe it! ”

Scarlet Feather is also grateful to Ashina for protecting Zuo Ying from Ziyang City indefinitely. There was no longer any precaution against him. He smiled lightly: "The heavens have mercy, I didn't take Scarlet Feather's life so quickly, and allowed Scarlet Feather to continue to serve by His Majesty's side."

Ashina laughed indefinitely and said, "Okay! I will have to explain to the brothers in my headquarters at this time. I'll invite you to drink when we get back, and we'll talk about how you survived and got into the thieves. ”

"His Royal Highness Xie Huangfu." Scarlet Feather smiled and nodded.

In the dim light of the oil lamp, an unsigned letter was opened, and the letter inside was unfolded in the light.

Again, there is no title or signature on the letterhead, indicating that the contents of the letter are quite confidential.

There are only a few lines in the letter:

"I was shocked to hear that Your Excellency thought that yesterday was wrong, and wanted to change his ways, so he thought it was impossible to steal from below. Dragon sleepy Asawa. It is up to you to advance or retreat; Once the dragon is released and returned to the sea, your body is completely out of your own hands. The matter has come to this point, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for Your Excellency to retreat with your whole body, and you will be worried about your life. Bow again, please think twice. ”

A moment later, he held the letterhead in his hand and finished reading Helan Chu. He put the letter paper in an oil lamp and burned it, and walked out of the house with his hands behind his back.

This secret letter was written by Zhang Fengshi, and the reason why it was not titled or signed was to beware of this letter falling into the hands of people who should not have seen it and becoming incriminating evidence. Although there were only a few lines in the letter, Helan Chu knew very well what he wanted to express.

Zhang Fengshi is a person who has followed Helan Chu for many years, and he is very clear about Helan Chu's personality and his original intention of embarking on the road of bloody seizure of power. It is not difficult for him to learn from the change of Helan Chu's attitude towards the empress, especially from the incident of sending troops to rescue the driver this time, that Helan Chu is unbearable to the empress and wants to change his decision and give up the struggle for the throne. That's why he sent this secret letter to discourage him—the authority is still in Helan Chu's hands, and if the empress is still under his control, whether he wants to replace her or assist her, the initiative is still in his hands; But once the power is handed over, the power of life and death that controls his fate falls into the hands of the empress, and then he will have to worry about his life.

The deeper meaning is that a person like Helan Chu, who has been labeled as a powerful minister who monopolizes military and political power, even if he changes his course at this time and no longer has the slightest ambition to usurp the throne, it is impossible for him to retreat. He and the empress have long been a relationship between you and me, one and the other, he does not kill the empress, the empress will kill him if she has the opportunity, only by firmly holding on to the authority is the only way to save your life and retreat and defend.

Coincidentally, on the evening after the celebration banquet the next day, Zuo Ying also unexpectedly received a secret letter from Su Bo from Luoyang.

Su Bo first confessed in the letter, telling him why he didn't come to the rescue when Ziyang City fell. On that day, he was raising food in Beiqiu, and after getting the news of the fall of Ziyang, he was afraid that the secret report sent to Luoyang before would not get due attention, so he rode alone and rushed back to Luoyang day and night to urge the governor to send troops. Later, in his letter, he described the current situation in the DPRK and China, as well as some important information that he had learned in the past few days.

Zuo Ying read this information, and had a more unoptimistic judgment in her heart about the situation that she still needs to face in the future. She seemed to have a strong premonition that the bloody storm was about to come again. This time, she knew she would suffer a loss, whether she won or lost.

Thinking of this, the wound on her shoulder blade couldn't help but hurt again.

The wound on her body deepened her worries, but it was the biggest reason for her to convince herself to rest now. She closed her eyes and fell asleep to Scarlet Feather's soothing.
