The carriage swayed along the ancient road into Beijing, the king of Wei in the carriage leaned on the soft cushion and fell asleep, Princess Wei sat on the side and waited for something uneasily, suddenly a gust of wind blew, the curtain was lifted to reveal the anxious maid outside, Princess Wei held the handkerchief in her hand and walked out quietly.

Seeing this, the little man driving the carriage hurriedly stopped, and Princess Wei faced the cold wind with an unchanged face and ordered: "Forget about the rest, I'll go to another carriage, you must take care of the prince." ”

The little maid Nuo nodded and didn't dare to make a sound, but she could only see Princess Wei get into another smaller carriage, and the maid helped Princess Wei to do a good job before she spoke: "The housekeeper in the capital has sent news, saying that the prince has favored a little palace maid, and now that the palace maid is pregnant, the prince has secretly raised it, and the Lu Mansion is afraid that it will be difficult to explain." ”

Princess Wei was not only frozen but also angry, and she couldn't speak for a long time, until the maid handed her a cup of tea and took a sip of tea before she said angrily: "This rebel!" How dare he do such a thing, you send someone back to tell him that if we arrive in the capital, the little palace maid is still alive, he won't have to call me mother anymore!" ”

The maid hesitated for a while but nodded, the wind and snow outside the window became more violent, the curtain of the car was blown loudly, Princess Wei shrunk her neck and asked, "I heard that the capital is not very good, how many people have died outside the city?" ”

The maid moved to block the wind: "The victims have indeed died, but they are not dying of hunger and cold, most of them are killed by your Gu worms and plagues, and the capital has begun to be suspicious." ”

Princess Wei touched the hand stove and said coldly: "What if you are suspicious!" They have no evidence and there is no way, the prince of the Hu people is already thinking of a way, as long as their medicinal materials are detained, even if the queen's hands and eyes are all over the sky, she can't save thousands of people outside the city, not to mention that the treasury is still so empty now. ”

The maid nodded and took the empty teacup, the wind and snow outside the window were even bigger, and Princess Wei squinted her eyes and looked at the faintly visible capital with some pride.

In the house in the capital, Aunt Lu sat in the hall drinking tea, the warm earth dragon was burning vigorously, the wind and snow outside the door seemed to be the scenery of another world, and the little girl said coldly: "King Wei is almost in the capital, and everything outside the city is ready, is the master sure to do this?" ”

Aunt Lu looked at the light-colored tea soup in the cup, and her voice was a little complicated: "It turned out that it was because of my kindness, my father was killed, my mother was humiliated, and in the end, even my sister didn't survive, are you asking me now that I don't regret it?" ”

The little girl raised her head and looked at her a little sadly, and her voice was slightly mixed with the wind and snow outside the door, and she couldn't hear it clearly: "But you still have Miss, Miss will definitely be estranged from you after today's incident passes, and that is your last relative!" ”

Aunt Lu seemed to be tired and waved her hand gently, the little girl was silent for a while and got up and left, the wind and snow suddenly drowned his figure, and Aunt Lu didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

The people in the city were still just as busy, and they did not stop because of the heavy wind and snow, everyone's face was numb brought about by the hard work of life, and the gorgeous carriages at the city gate gurgled into the city, and many people pointed at the convoy that was more exquisite than the royal carriage.

Before the king of Wei could open the car window to see the appearance of the capital, there was a sudden wail outside the city, accompanied by a deafening crackling sound, and the numbness on the faces of all the people in the city disappeared, replaced by shock and panic.

King Wei's heart jumped, and he hurriedly opened the car window and asked, "What's going on outside the city?" Is something wrong? ”

A little guard got into the carriage and whispered, "It seems that the nest outside the city where the victims are located has exploded, and there is a lot of fire, it seems to be our explosives!" ”

King Wei's beard was about to stand up, and he could only say hatefully: "Tell the people below not to be publicized, send some people to find out the news, and the rest will all follow me to the Son's Mansion!" ”

The guard said yes and went down, and after a while the carriage grunted towards the Shizi's mansion, and the people behind him were still looking at the direction outside the city and the strange convoy.

An old man said while cleaning up the snacks on the stall: "This King of Wei is really terrible now, such a thing happened just after entering the capital, I think it's better to hide today!" ”

The young man who didn't understand anything on the side asked in confusion: "What's going on?" Who is King Wei? ”

An eldest lady cautiously leaned over and explained: "King Wei is the founder of Dayu, the first emperor specially named the king with a different surname in order to reward him, and now half of those victims outside the city are his fiefdom running over, who knows if he looks at it and feels that he has lost face!" Pity the queen's hard work in vain, and the victims were burned to ashes. ”

Lu Qingjin in the palace was taking care of the plum blossom tree in his hand, and Xiao Ling, who had just come back from outside the door, hurriedly walked in: "Don't worry about these first, now the capital is in chaos, none of the victims outside the city have been blown up, and now I am afraid that they are all burned to ashes, and the fire has a tendency to spread to the capital, and there are not enough people to defend the city, Concubine Li has already taken some of the people in the palace out." ”

Lu Qingjin's hand holding the scissors trembled, and the plum blossom tree in her hand suddenly lost a branch, she didn't care about the others and hurriedly took the cloak and walked outside: "You sent someone to Concubine Yun and the others to spread the word, just say that the palace must be stabilized, and nothing can happen at this juncture, and some powerful people in the capital must also be stabilized." ”

Xiao Ling agreed and left in a hurry, the carriage creaked towards the outside of the city, many people along the way were talking about King Wei, at first Lu Qingjin didn't care, after listening to it too much, she felt that something was wrong, at this time Xiwang next to Concubine Li ran over and got into the carriage.

Lu Qingjin looked at him with burning eyes, Xiwang wiped the sweat on his forehead and said helplessly: "The explosion this time is the batch of gunpowder that has not been found, although the fire will not reach the capital, but the victims outside the city have nothing to do, fortunately, there are still a lot of potatoes in the cellar outside the city." ”

The handkerchief in Lu Qingjin's hand fell to the ground, and he said in a trembling voice: "Go and tell you that your mother can't give up even if she has a glimmer of life, and by the way, find out who did it!" ”

Xiwang nodded, hesitated for a while but still didn't speak, the wind and snow outside the window whistled and he couldn't see his figure for a while.
