Xinyue had some tightness in her chest, and after returning to Beizhuang, she vomited before the carriage got down.

Li Langzhong arrived soon, and Xinyue was already lying on the bed, dizzy and unable to open his eyes. As soon as he saw the pale paper of the crescent moon, he shook his head, "Didn't the little one tell Mrs. a long time ago, during this period of recuperation, you must not be angry and worried, among the medicines prescribed to you, there are also medicines that make you calm down, you are suddenly very excited, can you not get sick?" ”

"I, I—" Crescent Moon covered her head, and I couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Quickly widen the coat for Mrs., I want to give Mrs. an injection, so as to relieve her pain" said, Li Langzhong turned around and walked out of the new moon's room, and went outside to prepare acupuncture things, while Feng'er and Cui'er didn't dare to stop for a moment, and widened their coats for the new moon, only wearing light clothes inside, which was convenient for needles, and put the new moon away and lay on the bed.

Sure enough, as Li Langzhong said, after giving Xinyue two injections, Xinyue's breathing was not so rapid, but she still had a terrible headache and dizziness.

"Li Langzhong, how good is this, on the way back, Madame has been frowning, talking nonsense halfway, is the injury on her head the root of the injury?" Feng'er told Li Langzhong everything about the new moon when he came back.

Li Langzhong was still administering needles to the new moon, and the last needle was the needle that made the new moon fall asleep.

"I'll pick some of the herbs in the backyard to dispense them. You take care of Madame. With that, Li Langzhong pulled out all the silver needles on Xinyue's body and hurriedly went out to boil the medicine.

"Mama Wang, Madame has been talking nonsense, saying that the prince would be like this, it is actually because of her, what's wrong with Madame?"

"It's obvious that Madame is moving, is something going on in the palace?" Mama Wang asked the two of them carefully.

"Not long after the palace banquet began, the envoys of the Liang State came to meet them, and they said a lot of things, but they were all refuted by the adults one by one, and it was the last time..."

"Madame was fine when she came out, no, she also brought pastries from the banquet to the slave maid, although Madame was also a little worried about the things at the banquet, but it seemed that she wanted to open it quickly, and she didn't bother very much, but when the carriage just left the city, Madame suddenly said something, and since then, it has been like this." Cui'er took out the snack she was reluctant to eat from her arms and showed it to Mama Wang.

"The people of Liang are really bold, and don't look at King Yu's side, how did the old Hou Ye die, even if the Hou Ye is..."

"My eldest brother, even if he strangles me with a white silk, he won't let me marry Liang Guo." As she spoke, Xinyue opened her eyes, and after a while, she still couldn't ease the uncomfortable feeling on her body.

"Girl, are you awake?" Mama Wang stretched out her hand, put Xinyue's head in her arms, and gave her a gentle massage to soothe.

"Mama," Xinyue said suddenly realizing something, "Cui'er, Feng'er, you all go down." ”

"Yes," the two of them left Crescent's house.

Xinyue opened her eyes, looked at Mama Wang, and then closed it again, "Mama, the prince seems to be going on an expedition." ”

"As soon as the slave maid heard what Feng'er and Cui'er said, she almost guessed it." Mama Wang's strength is appropriate, and the new moon is indeed a lot more comfortable.

"Prince, what if you die in battle?" Xinyue can only say such things to Mama Wang.

Mama Wang's hand paused, "That's also with you, girl, it has nothing to do with it." If all these wars can be solved by a little woman like you, girl, that huge country still raises such soldiers, what do you want a general like King Yu to do? ”

"What if it has anything to do with me?" Xinyue thought about it, and before she could think about it too late, Xinyue's head hurt again, frowning, and Mama Wang continued to massage her to relieve the pain.

When Rong Ying entered Beijing, he received a flying pigeon message, and the person who sent the message was the prince of Liang Guo, and what he had been planning had been done.

He turned around, looked at the coffin, lowered his eyes and looked at the road under his horse, this way is really long. Originally, a prince with a fief like him could build a royal tomb in a fief, and it was Liyue's last wish to transport his body back to Beijing for burial. Although she had never told her about it, she seemed to realize something, and she had to ask Rong Ying to bring her bones back to Jinling.

There was also a carriage in the convoy, which caused Rong Ying to always look back with anxiety.

The guard followed him, "Lord, the sun is getting bigger, and you are about to enter the city, so you better go and sit in the carriage." ”

"Let's go, I won't be able to reach noon when I get to the palace, so put the princess's coffin first."

"Yes" The guard knew Rong Ying's temper, and he didn't persuade anymore and continued to move forward.

The news of King Jin's entry into Beijing did not attract much attention in Jinling City, and everyone's attention was on the news that the prince was reorganizing the army in Xiying, so he naturally had no time to pay attention to the affairs of a prince who was never favored and did not live in Jinling.

Rong Ying set up a mourning hall in the palace of Jinling, and placed the coffin of Lianyue in the mourning hall, naturally some people came to mourn, Rong Ying also stayed in the mansion, and in the eyes of outsiders, he lived in a simple place.

"Is the prince going out tonight?" The guards saw Rong Ying coming out of the house in deep clothes, it was almost dusk at this time, and he was changing his clothes at this time, so he should have gone out again.

"Not today, I'm afraid that someone will come to mourn in a while, I'll go to the front and watch." Saying that, Rong Ying walked towards the vestibule of the palace.

Sure enough, before he stopped, the front door spread that the little prince of the Yu family came to condole.

Although it was Rong Ying's unexpected person, he was a guest, and Rong Ying still stood in front of the door to greet him, but when he walked in from the outside, it was a man and a woman, and the man was naturally Rong Xu, and the one who followed behind her was both familiar and unfamiliar. Strange because he has never seen her, familiar because she and his mother have the same surname and race, so the two are cousins who are related by blood.

After the two looked at each other for a short time, Rong Ying frowned, this woman is three points similar to her mother because of her blood relationship, but the restlessness in her eyes made Rong Ying understand the meaning of the new moon a little, this woman is very difficult to entangle.

"What's wrong with the little prince?" Rong Ying saw that Rong Xu's legs and feet seemed to be a little inconvenient when he went up the steps, and when he lifted his steps, his left leg seemed to be very painful.

"It's okay" The expression on Rong Xu's face was unnatural, and he had already walked to Rong Ying's side in these few steps, "Brother Wang." ”

"I haven't seen you for a long time, come, let's go in" said, Rong Ying reached out and patted Rong Xu's shoulder, but Rong Xu gasped in pain, seeing him like this, Rong Ying thought about it, and then understood that it was because he was beaten by King Yu because he was reconciled with Xinyue without authorization.

"This must be your concubine?" Rong Ying didn't expose it, but led the topic to Xiao Nanyin.

"Cousin" said, Xiao bent his knees and gave King Jin a regular salute.

Rong Ying didn't embarrass her, but after letting them worship, they also left dinner, and just after they sat down, Rong Ying remembered that when she was in the Bingzhou Palace, Xinyue was also sitting in the Xiao family's rank, and it was Rong Xu who sat opposite her.

Rong Xu didn't want to stay, he came, and he was also pulled over by the Xiao family, Xiao said, "Your Majesty only has two sons, the prince and the king of Jin, if the prince wants to do things in the future, he must rely more on his own brothers, you look at the grandfather, you have to be the emperor first, with this achievement." So we have to be closer to King Jin now, as a relative of His Royal Highness King Jin's mother's family, walking around in front of him more is always indispensable for our benefits. ”

When Rong Xu heard him say this, he asked Xiao Shi with some doubts, "We are also princes with fiefdoms, and I am also the one who leads the troops, why do you want to talk to others?" ”

"Haven't you heard of a son of heaven and a courtier? Our King Yu, in His Majesty's place, has already received a cold reception, who knows what the situation will be after the turn of the prince, so ah, if you can have a capable person, you have to use it, and you have to win it over. ”

After Rong Xu listened, he remembered something about the new moon. At that time, not long after the two got married, when they entered the palace to thank him, they met the prince and his wife, and the prince invited them to the East Palace for dinner.

Xinyue said, "The palace didn't leave us for lunch, we turned our faces and went to the East Palace to eat, although His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have no disagreement, but from the outsider's point of view, we seem to be treated coldly at Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince, is trying to woo us." Or, we have a heart of clinging, saying that our hearts are not in the middle, forming a party for personal gain, and playing tricks under the nose of His Majesty. ”

"It's just a dinner, how can it attract so many reasons from you, once or twice, others can still see us as the prince's party?"

"In the past few years, the prince has received some cold treatment from His Majesty, His Majesty is deliberate, deliberately tempting, what we can do, we must be pampered and not surprised, so that Your Majesty can dispel suspicions, and we are a dignified royal family, we must maintain our noble face."

Xiao Shi, who said the opposite thing to Xinyue, made Rong Xu unable to refuse, but some disgust welled up from the bottom of his heart.

"Little prince, what kind of wine do you want to drink?" Rong Ying raised his voice, and Rong Xu came back to his senses, "Let's try the pure brew that the prince brought back from Bingzhou."

"Pour wine for the little prince." As soon as Rong Ying's words fell, the maid poured wine for him.

After the two of them had drunk, they chatted about the moon.

"Why did Jiang's sister-in-law go so early, it's really pitiful." As she spoke, Xiao Shi picked up the handkerchief and wiped her eyes, only she shed tears.

Rong Ying glanced at her coldly, and said to Rong Xu, "This king has been back in the city for a few days, and I heard from the people who came and went to worship that the little prince and the marquis of Hou Ye's family have left?" ”

"It's better for you to ask so bluntly, Lord Jin, and it seems that the two of us have done something ugly. Yes, I have reconciled with the new moon. Rong Xu was asked like this, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right, Xu... Cousin Crescent is back to live at home? After Rong Ying finished speaking, she pulled the curvature of her lips, which was a mocking expression, specially for Xiao Shi to see.

"Her brother, King Jin, you are far away in Bingzhou, you should have heard of it, it's... Because of her bad personality, she lived in a village left to her by the eldest princess, which was on the outskirts of Beijing, and it was quiet and convenient for her to recuperate. ”

"When Cousin Xinyue came to Jinling from the Eastern Capital, when she passed through Bingzhou, she came to visit Lianyue, and now when I look at it, it has become the first and last time the two of them meet." After Rong Ying finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup with a sad expression.

Xiao Shi somewhat understood that this King of Jin was simply ignoring himself.

After eating the meal like this, after sending the two of them to the carriage, Rong Ying was a little impatient, and without waiting for the carriage to go away, he turned around and walked into the house. ”

"If you can sneak into Jinling so easily and appear in my palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to cooperate again in the future." Rong Ying turned around and stood behind him, it was Liang Wei who was carrying a silverfish scimitar at his waist.

"Didn't you also send someone to cut down the trees in your queen mother and queen's palace, and burned the house behind the emperor's bedroom, I compare with you, it's really a pediatric, your Jin Palace, it's as cold as an ice cellar." As he spoke, Liang Wei lifted the knife at his waist and walked forward.

Rong Ying turned sideways and let Liang Wei enter his study, at this time the study had been lit up, as if it was specially prepared for the meeting of the two, Liang Wei looked at the tea set on the table, squinted his eyes, and asked, "Do you know I'm coming?" ”

"You went to Jinling from the envoy entering the palace, and you should indeed come to me today." Rong Ying seemed to be a little tired, sat on the chair, and looked up at Liang Wei.

Liang Wei sat opposite him and "became"

"En" Rong Ying already knew, but Liang Wei didn't have to come to tell him.

"That Xu Xinyue, it's really a good chess move, I just flicked her, your eldest brother was in a hurry, and he actually said in front of hundreds of civil and military officials that he wanted to compete with me, isn't this obvious, recognizing his name as the best prince in the four countries, is it false?" As he spoke, Liang Wei raised his hand and fiddled with the scimitar at his waist, "In this way, we will discuss where to kill him." ”

"Didn't I tell you, Xu Xinyue is not a chess piece that can be manipulated at will, you said that while attracting my brother Wang to take the bait, you also want to humiliate King Yu, she is no longer the wife of King Yu's mansion"

"Dismissed so soon? Do they really think that the main temple will want a married woman? As he spoke, Liang Wei laughed out loud mockingly.

"It's her... Forget it, what's the use of talking about this, anyway, everything has already developed according to what we want. Rong Ying looked up and saw the word "Dian" posted not far away, he was still having a headache, under what excuse did he not act, and the matter of Liyue happened.

"That Xu Xinyue..."Liang Wei seemed to be a little interested, "How did you have an affair with your imperial brother?" ”

"They are not ambiguous, the new moon is innocent, all these years..." Rong Ying immediately stopped talking, but these were enough.

Liang Wei looked at his current performance, and Rong Ying's performance that day when he was in the Jin Palace, and smiled, the preferences of the two brothers were really the same, which made him even more curious about Xu Xinyue.

"I mean, from what I've seen, the two of them basically have no communication, and I can't imagine that my imperial brother would be willing to go to war with Liang in order to protect her." After Rong Ying finished explaining, she felt that she was too stupid, obviously the more she explained, the more feelings she revealed.

"So, did you deliberately hide it?" Liang Wei's eyes were cold, he saw Rong Ying very thoroughly when he saw him for the first time, he was capable, but he didn't have much ruthlessness towards innocent people, and now he has the weakness of a beauty, if you want to master him, it's really, easy and tight.

"I, I just didn't think of it." Before they made this move, Liang Wei asked Rong Ying to pay attention to Rong Zhao's shortcomings, especially the shortcomings that are best used by women like women, but Rong Ying basically handed over all the things he asked him from elsewhere, but that Xu Xinyue, he hid it tightly. If it weren't for the fact that he was on the edge of the Changhe River and the state wharf, he saw the royal flag of King Yu, and remembered the detailed report he arranged beside the prince, before the prince got married, he wanted to marry a daughter of the Xu family, and the woman married the grandson of the Yu family, he thought of starting from this Xu Xinyue, so that he noticed the chess piece of Xinyue.

"Heh..."Liang Wei glanced at Rong Ying lightly, "You are so easy to be seen through, how are you going to fight with me in the future." ”

After Rong Ying heard this, there were not many waves in her heart, but she stabilized her mind, "Say whatever you want." Are we going to get down to business? ”

Liang Wei thought of the purpose of this trip, so naturally there was no need to interrupt for these small things, so he said to Rong Ying, "Yes, the business of killing your eldest brother." ”

It was already dawn, and the new moon was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, not knowing whether she was asleep or awake, only herself, with her eyes closed, counting the sound of the waterwheel fetching water, but her throat was dry, and she coughed twice "cough cough"

Feng'er immediately lifted the curtain and came in, "Girl, you're awake." ”

"Eh" Crescent Moon actually woke up for a while, so she opened her eyes and slowly sat up from the bed.

"Girl, after more than ten days of recuperation, your body will be fine." As she spoke, she handed her hand to Crescent, who drank warm water and nodded, "Okay." ”

"Madam, since you are almost well, why don't we go back to the capital to live for a while? Beiying is now in the process of transferring troops, and on the official road in front of our Zhuangzi, there are chariots, horses, and soldiers running all day long, which is very unstable. "A few days ago, I saw that the new moon was always lying down, so I didn't say it, today is what Li Langzhong said, on the last day of Madame's medicine, Madame's body must be recovering greatly.

After thinking for a moment, Xinyue shook her head, "You let those stewards restrain the people in our Zhuangzi, and if there is no need, don't go out, just in your own courtyard." Especially in our yard, up to you and Mama Wang, down to the rough mother-in-law and the little maid, it is necessary not to go out, and it will not take a few days. ”

In Xinyue's heart, she had roughly calculated the time when the prince would go on the expedition. Xinyue remembered that he was in a dream, and received the news of the prince's death, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, when it was said that the prince had died in battle for the twentieth day, and the coffin had returned to Beijing, and now that May had passed halfway, it would take a month to go back and forth from the front, and he could not have been cut down and dismounted when he arrived, so at the latest, before June, he was going to go on the expedition.

Liang has only two seasons, winter and summer, not to mention that the summer is very short, and it is not as warm as the spring in Jinling, and now, it is the summer of Liang State, and it is the best time to march into the army.

"Yes" Feng'er nodded, "Madam, this is the last medicine, Li Langzhong said that after you drink it, you don't have to worry about it, the injury on your forehead." Feng'er said happily.

"I heard that there are a few herbs in this medicine, which were picked from our backyard, why, are there still herbs grown in this yard?" The new moon took the medicine, the medicine was still a little hot, and the new moon was not in a hurry to drink it.

"Yes, it happened to be in the open space outside the courtyard where Li Langzhong lived, Li Langzhong also said that in addition to the herbs that invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, the most are medicinal materials that stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, some of which have been grown for decades and are very useful." Looking at Feng'er's tone, Xinyue knew that Li Langzhong was also surprised, so she said to Feng'er, "Tell Li Langzhong that when he returns to the Eastern Capital, he can bring some with him, but leave me roots and send them again next year." ”

"Yes," she nodded, noting down, "Girl, drink the medicine." ”

"Okay" Crescent Moon touched the wall of the bowl, so she picked up the bowl, pursed her lips, and drank the medicine in one gulp.

"Madame—" Fei'er hurried over.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her eagerness, Crescent almost didn't swallow the last mouthful of medicine.

"Madam, why is the black bottle in this box missing?" Fei'er was so frightened that she took the box and put it under Crescent's face.

Seeing that she was eager, Xinyue didn't look like she was selling off, but reached out and took out the bottle of antidote to the poison of black water from her arms and gave it to Fei'er, "Here, this time, you have to put it away properly, if you don't see you again, I'll ask you." ”

"Yes, yes" Fei'er saw that the bottle was lost and recovered, so she naturally couldn't hide her joy, picked up the bottle, and kept it again.

Feng'er looked at Xinyue like this, and asked, "Madam, since this medicine is going to be put away permanently, the poison on Miss Yao's body..."

"Li Langzhong has been out for so long, it's time to follow King Yu's ship and return to the Eastern Capital to reunite with his family." Xinyue didn't answer Feng'er directly, but Feng'er knew that Li Langzhong had gone back, and that was Miss Yao's matter, which had been resolved most satisfactorily.
