After Xinyue's illness recovered, the first thing she thought of was to go into the city to worship Jiang Lianyue and the child.

Sitting in the carriage, Crescent Moon looked at her palm, thinking of that day in Liyue's room, her own hand on her stomach, feeling the little child, swimming under her hand, still so energetic, how can I say no, there is no more.

In the past, in her dreams, these things were all things that she had watched for Xinyue, and some things that had nothing to do with her, but after she really intersected with these people and things, she really couldn't look at them calmly.

One more day is the day of the funeral, the new moon hangs her hand, feeling the weight of the bracelet hit her arm, and she comes at this time, which can be regarded as a gift to this poor woman.

When getting off the carriage, Rong Ying was standing at the door with a tired face, and Xinyue passed by the carriage of the guest he had just sent away, because Xinyue did not hand over the prayer post, so Rong Ying was still a little surprised by her sudden appearance, and then returned to normal.

"Lord Wang..."Xinyue got out of the carriage, saw Rong Ying, and bowed to Rong Ying.

Rong Ying almost couldn't get used to it, but this girl is always very dignified and generous in the eyes of outsiders, so she just let her go, "Cousin Crescent, please come in." ”

The crescent moon came in from the door, and saw that the surroundings were all clothed with plain silk, and there were offerings and flowers on the mourning hall, and the place in the middle was placed on the tablet, and behind the tablet was the coffin of the moon, and after the crescent moon looked at the spirit card, there was only one coffin, and there was no sign of the child on the altar.

Rong Ying stood aside and waited for the salute in return, but saw that she was looking around, and then asked suspiciously, "Sister Liyue's child..."

Xinyue suddenly felt that she had said the wrong thing, and after pursing her lips, she straightened her demeanor, and after bowing for a while, Rong Ying arched her hand and returned the salute.

"Go to the back hall for some tea?" Rong Ying asked.

Xinyue glanced at Rong Ying's expression, as if she had something to say to her, and then nodded "Okay"

Turning to the back hall, before the new moon could sit down, she heard the baby's cry, which frightened her, and looked at the door blankly, only to see a dignified mother walking in with a baby in her arms.

"Lord Wang, Xiao Shizi has been crying just now, is he sick and wants to invite Lang Zhong?" As she spoke, Mama comforted the child in her arms, but she still couldn't stop crying.

When Xinyue stood up, she saw the child in Mama's arms, a milky-white, pink child.

"This, this is—" Crescent Moon choked up a little because she was so surprised.

"Take my name card and go to the palace to ask for a doctor." Rong Ying didn't seem to be used to this cry, but it wasn't exactly annoyance.

"Yes" The grandmother glanced at the new moon, the lonely man and the widow were in the same room, no matter how you looked, there was no good association, she turned around and prepared to leave, but the child's cry was still very touching.

Xinyue remembered again, and told Lianyue that when the child was born, she would definitely hug him well, so she said to the grandmother who was about to walk to the door, "Mama, can you let me hug this child?" This is also what I agreed with the child's mother. ”

Mama Shan is one of the grandmothers who accompanied Liyue to marry, and when Xinyue went to Bingzhou, she didn't see her, and she was the most trusted person by Liyue's mother, so this little child was also taken care of by him.

Mama Shan looked at Xinyue's open arm to her, and glanced at Rong Ying again, Rong Ying didn't say anything, this is what she means to make her own decision. The child who kept crying, Mama Shan couldn't tell if the woman in front of her who was dressed as a lady could hold this weak child.

Xinyue opened her arms, and Mama Shanshan handed the child to Xinyue in a bit of a distraction. I saw her take her arm back and hold the child in her arms.

Just like there in the Jin Palace, when Xinyue touched the belly of the moon, Xinyue felt a burst of strangeness in her heart, she looked at the child in her arms for a moment, and the strange thing was that the child who had been crying just now actually stopped crying, stared at the eyes like black beads, and looked at the steps on Xinyue's head.

The crescent moon shook her head, and the child's eyes swung as she swayed.

"This kid is destined for you." It was the first time Rong Ying had seen him smile.

Xinyue didn't expect to say, "yes, I really didn't expect it." ”

"Is it because of the swaying on Madame's head?" Mama Shan found that Xiao Shizi was very interested in the step shaking on the head of the crescent moon.

"Really?" Saying that, the new moon sat in the position just now, with one hand on the back of Xiao Shizi's head, and with the other hand, reached out and pulled out the step shake on his head, and shook it in front of his eyes, but it could not attract his attention as in her hair, but after looking at it twice, he continued to look at the butterfly hairpin between the new moon and the new moon's hair. The hairpin is inlaid with a spring, which will follow the swing of the head, and dance slightly, the new moon saw it from his eyes, and reached out to take it off, "You little doll, your mother just gave me a jade bracelet, and I returned the gift, and you remembered my favorite butterfly hairpin..."

"Hmm..." Xinyue looked at the little doll's mouth and whimpered, and immediately panicked, and took off the butterfly hairpin on her head, "Here you are, here you are, as long as you don't cry, aunt, give it to you." ”

"Don't pick it up." As she spoke, Rong Ying stretched out her hand and pressed Xinyue's arm, "Didn't you say your favorite?" ”

Xinyue looked at Rong Ying's hand a little unnaturally, but Rong Ying put down her hand without embarrassment.

There seemed to be some different communication between the two of them, and Crescent coughed lightly twice, "Didn't he want it, but it was just a gadget." By the way, did you name this kid? I remember, in your generation, the word "day" is in your name, and his generation is "jade", for example, Rong Xu's child, called Yuyu, this child is a serious son-in-law, what is it called? ”

"Lian, Rong Lian. The grain vessel used for the sacrifice is Lian, and this child is stronger than me. Although Rong Ying didn't care about it, the emotions in her words were still easy to capture.

Xinyue glanced at Mama Shan, then raised her arm and handed Lian'er back to Mama Shan. As soon as Lian'er left her arms, she cried uncomfortably, causing Xinyue to pull out the hairpin on her head and hand it to Mama Shan, "Coax with this, will it be better." ”

"This is your favorite thing, madam, and the slave doesn't dare to accept it." With that, Mama Shan went down with Lian'er in her arms.

Xinyue looked at the step shake and hairpin in her hand and smiled, "Such a beautiful thing, don't accept it, okay." ”

As he spoke, Xinyue put these on his head again, sat down and took a sip of tea, "It's Tieguanyin." ”

"I was in the Queen Mother's Palace before, and I saw you drinking." Rong Ying didn't explain, but picked up her cup and took a sip of tea.

"Is there something you want to tell me?" Crescent asked.

"Prince, it's almost over." After Rong Ying finished speaking, she saw that Xinyue didn't have any special look on her face, she just looked at her cup indifferently, just a trembling voice, betraying her, "Out, is the day of the expedition set?" ”

"Twenty this month. After the twenty-fifth birthday of the crown prince. "Rong Zhao's birthday is on June 19, when he was born, the time of one more stick of incense will be twenty, which is a good day that is rare in a century. Yu He also said that he was a little bit close, and he completed his life, His Majesty and himself didn't think so, thinking that he was the crown prince, and he was indeed a little worse, and in the future, he ascended to the position of the most treasure, and it would be fine. However, the new moon now understands that this is a lifelong mistake.

Xinyue raised her head and looked at Rong Ying, "Is it ready to fly?" ”

Rong Ying was not afraid of Xinyue's eyes, looked at Xinyue and said, "You never persuaded me, this time, do you want to stop it?" ”

When Xinyue heard this, she shook her head, "Just like Yu He said, everything in the world must move forward." It's hard for me to save myself, let alone the fate of others. ”

"I've never asked you, and I don't want to know, but I'm curious now, how did you know about me and Rong Zhao, and you know so much about it, the attendants around me may not be so clear." Rong Ying didn't want to ask, because it seemed that as soon as he asked, he admitted something.

"I said I guessed, do you believe it?" Xinyue didn't want to answer, she looked at Rong Ying, who was frowning and puzzled, and said.

Rong Ying didn't get angry, but laughed, "Then what else did you guess?" ”

"Your opponent, the next one is Liang Wei." Xinyue tilted her head, so that Rong Ying couldn't see through her, so she continued, "I don't know if I'm right? ”

"Among the wise women, you don't count." After Rong Ying finished speaking, she actually smiled, "What, threaten me again?" ”

He laughed at the crescent moon inexplicably. Is that a funny thing?

"No, let me go."

Hearing Xinyue say this, Rong Ying smiled again, "I'll let you go?" When you asked me for the black water antidote, it wasn't like this. ”

"Right now, I just want to live my life quietly. Seize the heir, cooperate and collude with the princes of other countries, I don't want to know such things anymore. I just want to live my life well in my village. It is useless for me to ask others to say goodbye, I want your assurance. Saying that, Xinyue stood up, because of Rong Ying's gaze, this was the first time she looked directly at Rong Ying, but Rong Ying seemed to have missed a shot in her heart, looking at Xinyue's eyes with mottled reflections, she couldn't refuse, he obviously had a deeper use of Xinyue.

Xinyue waited for a moment, didn't wait to answer, it seemed that Rong Ying was about to reject himself, the smile on his face was so dazzling, Xinyue said, "Are you laughing at me ridiculously, or... Or is this smile just your disguise, in order not to be seen through your heart, but I have seen through it, how else do you hide it? ”

"I..." Rong Ying still wanted to argue, but suddenly felt so tired that she didn't want to deny it, "It's just, it's just that you're funny." ”

"You..." Crescent Moon suddenly became angry, felt insulted, and turned around to leave.

But when he walked to the door, he felt so angry, he turned his face and walked to Rong Ying's side, and was about to scold him, but he saw him raise his head and look at his eyes with bloodshots.

Rong Ying didn't expect that Xinyue would go and return, he was frightened by such a bold and rude Xinyue, he thought he would be scolded, but Xinyue stretched out his hand.

His eyes were foggy, dazed, and dangerous, and it was the first time that Xinyue had seen such a complicated look in someone's eyes, just looking at it, he felt that this was a nest of trouble, a dead wood forest, full of thorns. It's just that behind these is his bloodshot, real him. It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, and Rong Ying's spiritual world, which is never easy to show, was thus perceived by the new moon.

Xinyue's first reaction was of course to panic, but she had no choice, she turned a blind eye to such a Rong Ying, she stretched out her hand and blocked between herself and Rong Ying's eyes, wanting herself not to look at it, and also asking Rong Ying not to look at herself, her own feet couldn't take a step.

Rong Ying looked at the strange and awkward Xinyue, first glanced down at the tips of her shoes, found that she had no intention of leaving, and then saw her tangled look through her fingers, "Xu Xinyue, are you sympathetic to me?" ”

"I..." Xinyue wanted to deny it, but it was to think about her mood at this time, it seemed to be like this, but when she said it, she would definitely be provoked Rong Yingsheng, and after thinking about it again and again, Xinyue, who couldn't find a solution, was so angry that she chopped her feet, "Why do you have so many problems, so awkward, ah..."

Rong Ying looked at the new moon that suddenly got angry and was whining, "You, are you crazy?" ”

"Yes, I'm crazy, why are you all so troublesome and troublesome, how about sympathy, sympathy for you? You do so many things, don't you just want people to see you and know that you are one, and you don't have to show it..."

"Rong Zhao? You actually called the prince's name, I think you are real..."Rong Ying just didn't want her to continue.

"En, Rong Zhao, you, Rong Ying, isn't the name just for people to call?" Li Langzhong repeatedly explained, let the new moon not be angry and worried, if there is fire in his heart, it is better to send it out, the new moon is angry now.

"I think you're really crazy." Rong Ying stood up, grabbed Crescent Moon's arm, and told her to lower her hand.

"I just want to live, live well, freely, not to see you princes, princes or anything, I just want to be myself." Saying that, Xinyue broke free of Rong Ying's hand, and in the process of breaking free, she also slapped Rong Ying hard.

After Rong Ying was slapped like this, she didn't get angry but laughed, "Xu Xinyue, you are not crazy, but you are the real you now." ”

Feeling the pain coming from her palm, Crescent Moon realized what she had done, and what she had just gone crazy about.

"I... I..."Xinyue choked, but Rong Ying saw everything clearly and said to Xinyue, "In front of me, you don't hide it, because I have seen everything you look like." Xu Xinyue, I finally thought of the favor of the antidote to the poison of the black water, what do you want to pay back. ”

"I, I don't want to be under your dominion anymore, don't even think about it." As she spoke, Xinyue stretched out her hand as if she was going to do something, but her arm was grabbed by Rong Ying.

"Someone," Rong Ying shouted out the door.

"Yes" Outside the door was Rong Ying's guard.

"Send the Crescent Girl home." With that, Rong Ying shook off Xinyue's arm and turned to leave.

The second day was the day of the burial of the moon. When I got up in the morning, it rained for a while, but now it is already a clear sky, the new moon is standing in the sacrificial tent set up by the Marquis of Anxuan, at this time it is really hot and unbearable, the attendants stand beside them, constantly fanning the fan, turning the wind wheel, and can only be relieved.

Rong Ying personally sent Lianyue to be buried, and one by one along the road returned the salute to the people who set up a shed to worship, the original white face was covered with beads of sweat, and when he arrived at the shed of An Xuanhou's mansion, Rong Ying raised his eyes and looked at the new moon, and the new moon was shocked, and then he returned the salute to Xu Xintai as usual, "Brother Xintai, farewell to Zizhou, I haven't seen you for three years." ”

"Yes, Your Highness, it's been three years." Saying that, Xu Xintai laughed out loud for the first time in a long time.

"Is the new Tai brother going to go on the expedition with His Highness this time?" Saying that, Rong Ying glanced at the new moon behind Xu Xintai, and looking at her performance, the new moon really didn't know.

"Big brother, you're going on a campaign?" Regardless of everyone watching, Xinyue grabbed Xu Xintai.

Xu Xintai glanced back at Xinyue, "Well, didn't your sister-in-law tell you?" What's the matter, this sweaty head is still shivering? ”

"I... Can you..."Xinyue was shocked in her heart, because she thought about it, and thought of why Xu Xintai didn't come to see her in her dream, because he couldn't protect himself.

"I heard that Brother Xintai is managing the baggage in the rear?" Rong Ying wanted this effect, but he had also heard that Xinyue's body could not be angry and worried, so he explained.

"Yes, Your Majesty's Sacred Heart, who could have predicted it." Xu Xintai frowned, he was supposed to take the lead as a pioneer, but after the national teacher Yu He divined the hexagram, he said that the omen was unlucky, so he wanted to change to a striker who played less aggressively "A striker who is not aggressive, what else is it called, isn't it just a fly that disturbs the enemy." ”

"Brother Xintai, what would General Jiang think if he heard your evaluation?" As he spoke, Rong Ying smiled, bowed and said, "Thank you for the sacrifice, this is the farewell." ”

After Rong Ying left, Xinyue pulled Xu Xintai, "Brother, do you really want to go to the battlefield with Your Highness?" ”

"What kind of battlefield to go to, it is estimated that even Jincheng will not be able to get out. That's when will I be able to avenge my father. Kill the Zili who killed the father with his own hands. "The Zi family of Liang State, the general of the town of Anbang for generations, this Zi Li is the head of the Zi family of this generation, and his greatest achievement is to cut Xintai and Xinyue's father under the horse. The spies in front came to report that the main general sent by Liang Guo this time was Zili.

"Zili, there will always be another day, brother, in this battle, don't be emotional, otherwise you may not be able to kill Zili, but in the end, it will be you, and you will be hurt." Xinyue remembered that because the prince died in battle, the reason why he died in battle was to lead troops to help Xu Xintai, who was surrounded by regiments, Xu Xintai saw Zili on the battlefield, Zili provoked in every way, and showed the weapon that killed their father, and the bones that he had never found.

In order to regain his father's bones, Xu Xintai disobeyed the order, and sure enough, he hit the plan, and Rong Zhao was cut down by Zili and died of anger.

Xu Xintai was escorted back to Beijing, and His Majesty was about to kill him in a fit of rage, and after the Queen Mother saved him, she imprisoned him and Cao's sister-in-law. Yes, Xinyue thought, in the dream, it was not that Xu Xintai knew that he was framed and suppressed, and he didn't come to save himself, but that he himself was also in prison.

Xu Xintai found that Xinyue was crying again, and she grabbed her robe and cried even more sadly than that day.

"Big brother, please, please" Xinyue choked up crying, Xu Xintai found that the people around him were looking at their sheds, and reached out to hug Xinyue, which seemed to be the only way to make her not cry "Don't cry, everyone else is watching you." ”

"I won't care about this, I want you to promise me. Promise me. If Xinyue was afraid of any gossip, she would not have separated from Rong Xu, Xu Xintai saw that she couldn't control her, so she had to nod and whispered, "Okay, I promise you, anyway, I can't go up." ”

Xinyue was reassured by Xu Xintai, which made her heart settle down a little. He is such a person, he never promises lightly, but once he makes a promise, it is necessary to fulfill it, which is what Xintai and Xinyue's father taught him.

But the new moon still had a heart, and felt that she had to think of something to do. She looked at Rong Ying who was walking away with teary eyes, dazed.

In five days, it will be the day when Rong Zhao will lead his troops to the battle. He originally planned to spend his twenty-fifth birthday in Beijing, but Liang Jun did not give him this time.

His Majesty had just rejected Liang's courtship, and the two envoys were obedient at first, but after retreating, they fled overnight without a trace, and the next day, the soldiers of Liang crossed the river on the edge of Jincheng and marched to Jincheng. In this way, Rong Zhao is about to leave immediately.

Tomorrow is the day when Rong Zhao will go on the expedition, and in the entire Jinling, there are only two people, Xinyue and Rong Ying, who know that he must have gone and never returned.

Xinyue stood on the Enshan outside his Zhuangzi, in front of the Enshan is the North Camp, the Xinyue got the news, Rong Zhao will be here tonight, and set off early tomorrow morning.

But Xinyue knew that she couldn't see Rong Zhao here, but she still looked forward to the brightly lit barracks in front of her, thinking that under this light, there would be Rong Zhao's figure.

"You can't see him here, even if you stand here all night, tomorrow they will go out from Pangu in the east, and Enshan here is the way back. Hope for return, and reward. Xinyue heard the sound of the horse neighing just now, but she didn't bother to care, Rong Ying's voice was also something she didn't want to hear, anyway, she had already lost her mind in front of him that day, and it would be useless to pretend to be normal again.

Rong Ying looked at Xinyue in the opposite direction of her, and said with a smile, "Do you know why your brother suddenly changed from a striker to an escort baggage?" ”

Crescent Moon didn't go any further, but still didn't pay any more attention to him. Rong Ying didn't feel bored, but said as if talking to himself, "Your brother is impulsive and belligerent, and he has a blood feud with the main general Zili, no matter how you look at it, they are the most suitable candidates for the striker, how, do you want me..."

"Shut up, you shut up." Xinyue couldn't bear it anymore, squatted on the ground, grabbed a handful of sand, and threw it to Rong Ying, sure enough, in front of Rong Ying, Xinyue was a crazy woman.

Rong Ying was once fostered by the side of Prince Xianlian, who was the youngest uncle of Emperor Xian, four years younger than Emperor Xian. He was the same age as the current King Yu, but he died six years ago.

He has hidden his edge in this life, and he is afraid of being feared by high-ranking people and avoiding the world. Because he had nothing to do, he practiced a good martial arts, and his martial arts were all taught to Rong Ying. In the entire Shikoku, there are very few good players who can beat him, but he just can't avoid the sand smashed by the crescent moon.

He went to the left, and the crescent moon seemed to have already seen his movements, and smashed to the left, and he went to the right, and the crescent moon smashed to his right. His newly worn robe was stained like this.

"I, I never hit a woman, you give me honesty." As she spoke, Rong Ying grabbed Xinyue's hand and pulled her to the north for more than a hundred meters.

"You still said you won't beat women, you, didn't you drag me just now?" Xinyue's arms and heels that were pulled by Rong Ying were hurting.

"Look, look here." Rong Ying pulled her over, just to make him look where he was pointing.
