The weather is getting colder, although the Western Xia is in the southwest of Daqi, but due to geographical reasons, it will begin to snow in November every year, on this day, the snow is heavy one after another, the snow is not up to the ankles, and the white snow is piled up on the vermilion low wall, as if to put on a layer of white velvet fox fur clothes for this simple post house.

A vermilion sedan chair was lifted out from the east of Xiliangcheng, which was extremely obvious in this white snow, bypassing the street and walking to the palace gate, the attendant guarding the door raised his eyes and glanced at the top of the sedan chair, and immediately bowed and bowed, cautiously opened the palace gate, until the sedan chair walked through the palace gate, and dared to raise his eyelids.

"Yo, whose sedan chair is this, it's so magnificent, this product doesn't have such treatment." A new gatekeeper is a little ignorant of the market.

"Little Wang Balamb doesn't know how to speak, don't talk nonsense," an elderly veteran reprimanded him, "The top of the sedan chair is red, that is the symbol of the Shun Palace, up and down the Shun Palace, from the Shun King to the Shun Princess to the county lord, which can be offended." ”

The young soldier was a little unconvinced, and muttered, "Then you have to check the sedan chair according to the rules." ”

"Heh, check the sedan chair?" The veteran kicked the new recruit's leg and stomach, and said in an old-fashioned manner, "You don't want to live anymore, and you still want to check the sedan chair in the palace?" ”

"Yo, who doesn't want to live anymore?" In the distance, a shrill and thin, slightly feminine voice floated over, with a hint of flattery at the end, "Look, isn't this General Ding Zongbing, what's the matter, this has only been punished for guarding the city gate for a month, and he has started to put up a shelf again?" ”

It turned out that this veteran's surname was Ding, and he was also a six-grade chief soldier, Ding Zongbing saw the origin of the speaker, and his body became more and more respectful: "It's Gonggong Meng who is here, thanks to your old man's blessing, my city gate is guarded very peacefully, nothing went wrong, I just hope that Gonggong Meng can continue to say a few good words for the thirteen princes, after all, the crime at the beginning is also ...... below." As he spoke, Mr. Ding slowly approached the face of the child, his face was pale, but the Meng Gonggong with a little cherry red on his lips approached, and lowered his voice and said, "After all, that crime is fought for the thirteenth prince." ”

"Bold!" Gonggong Meng glared at Mr. Ding with slanted eyes, then took out a pink handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said with a smile, "Mr. Ding, the miscellaneous family remembers, it was your own negligence that day, so that the grain depot was burned, and the fugitives hiding inside were burned alive, this, but what does it matter to our Highness?" ”

General Ding was anxious: "Gonggong Meng, you can't say that, how can the thirteen princes do such a thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?" It was obviously ...... who deliberately wanted to get rid of the Seven Princes. ”

"Gonggong Meng, I sent you to report first, not for you to stand at the gate of the palace and chat."

I don't know when, a pure black carriage appeared at the gate of this palace, and the horses from the wheel to the horse pulling the carriage were all black, and it seemed that the words coming out of the carriage were also gloomy;

The person inside stretched out his hand and opened half of the curtain, this was the thirteenth prince Jing Yuanchu, who had just appeared frequently in the mouths of Gonggong Meng and General Bing, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his lips: "Gonggong Meng, let's leave quickly when the matter is done, this time I came to visit my father in the palace without prior notice, it is better to remind him first." ”

Gonggong Meng nodded at Jing Yuanchu, and Fang Cai's arrogance completely disappeared, but Ding Zongbing was unwilling, he arched his hand to Jing Yuanchu and said, "Do you remember Weichen?" ”

Jing Yuanchu glanced at Gonggong Meng with his afterglow, and said: "I naturally remember, don't worry, I have always kept in mind what you said, but now it has only been a long time, and my father has punished you for guarding the door for three years, it has only been a short month, I am really not good to mobilize, but you can rest assured, I have always had clear rewards and punishments, and I will remember what you have done." ”

Ding Zongbing breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I will wait for news from His Highness with peace of mind." ”

The carriage entered the palace, Jing Yuanchu also got off the carriage and walked, and Gonggong Meng, who followed him, asked Jing Yuanchu for instructions: "Your Highness, the ...... surnamed Ding." ”

Jing Yuanchu hung his head and kept his hands in a hand cage made of fox skin, but he raised his head slightly, exposed his neck, gestured, and said one word - "kill".

Gonggong Meng bowed his head: "The slave must be solved as soon as possible." ”

At the same time, outside Jingren Palace, the eunuch in charge had already reported for Mu Qingyu to go in, and at this time, he hurriedly walked down the steps at the emperor's behest, bowed politely to Mu Qingyu, bowed his head and said, "County Lord, the emperor has just woken up, please go in." ”

"Got it." Mu Qingyu turned around and instructed the maids behind him, "Just let Su'er go in with me alone, and you are all waiting here." ”

Mu Qingyu spoke, who dared to disobey, the maids honestly obeyed the order, Mu Qingyu raised his head at one of the maids who looked a little older: "Come with me." ”

In Jingren Palace, it seems that there is a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, mixed with the unique dragon incense of the royal family, through the heavy curtains, only vaguely see a man lying on the bed is being served by three eunuchs to drink medicine, most of the emperor's side are eunuchs, there are almost no palace maids, only the sewing maids are occasionally used, the world says, that is because the emperor has a deep affection for the deceased queen, and is unwilling to have more contact with other women after the death of the queen, but I don't know, in fact, Jing Donghua has been, It's all for the sake of another person.

"Your Majesty, Lord Mu is here." The chief eunuch was careful to report.

"Alright, you all go down." In the curtains, a slightly weak and old voice slowly floated out, and this fluttering sentence alone was enough to make people worry about the physical condition of the people here.

"Uncle Emperor." Mu Qingyu lifted the layers of curtains, and then saw Jing Donghua lying on the dragon couch leaning over, Jing Donghua was a little thin at this time, even though there was a royal dining room that kept making all kinds of medicinal diets to nourish and nourish the body, and the Tai Hospital was also developing new drugs every day, but it was always ineffective, and the strange thing was that just half a month ago, a heavenly master who suddenly appeared completely changed Jing Donghua's physical condition.

Although Jing Donghua still looks very weak now, just half a month ago, many imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital agreed that the emperor's body was only afraid that it had no surgery to return to heaven, but just relying on a few pills from the Heavenly Master, Jing Donghua, who couldn't open his eyes, sat up.

"Uncle Emperor, do you feel better?" Mu Qingyu often went to the palace to visit Jing Donghua in the past, which made Jing Donghua very pleased;

"It's better, but I've been coughing, in fact, I feel better in the morning, but this cough has coughed people out of the prototype." Although Jing Donghua's figure is thin, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his incomparably beautiful face contour are exactly the same as when he was young, and his angular chin is what the eldest princess was most obsessed with.

"My mother said that a person with a good chin must be upright, if it weren't for the unforgiving years now, and Jing Donghua's physical condition is really bad, Jing Donghua looks ten years older than his actual age.

Jing Donghua glanced at his eyes and saw the maid named Su'er who had been following Mu Qingyu obediently, and asked carefully: "I don't think your personal maid on weekdays is this one?" How did you make a substitution? I think the maid you used to be quite good, generous and scheming, if you really want to marry Beidi, there are many helpers, this looks, it seems to be a little childish. ”

"Uncle Emperor" Mu Qingyu heard that he might marry Beidi, and his heart was full of pain, "Drink some warm water first to moisten your throat." After that, Mu Qingyu glanced back at the big girl again, and asked tentatively, "Uncle Emperor, do you really not remember her?" ”

"What's wrong?" Jing Donghua was a little puzzled: "Should I remember her?" ”

"You admit it, don't hide it, the girl behind me is actually not my maid, but an old man of the emperor's uncle, who was entrusted by someone to bring her into the palace, just to let my uncle recognize it."

Jing Donghua blinked, old man? Jing Donghua knew in his heart that Mu Qingyu had always done things very measuredly, and he would not bring people to see him indiscriminately.

But when this maid named Su'er approached and sat in front of Jing Donghua's bed, Jing Donghua's memory seemed to be drained, and he didn't remember that he had ever known such a woman.

"I almost forgot something." Mu Qingyu stepped forward, buckled a small slit from Su'er's ear, and then tore forward along this small slit, a complete human skin mask was torn off, when Su'er's true face was exposed in front of Jing Donghua, Jing Donghua only felt that a hot current suddenly rushed out of his throat, and he couldn't express his inner joy, shock and disbelief in words.

His hands trembled uncontrollably, and he wanted to touch this still beautiful face with his hands, but a wordless guilt made him dare not be presumptuous.

"Qinghe." Jing Donghua gently called the name that appeared in his dreams countless times, and looked at this person who could only be seen in dreams, "Is it you?" ”

At the same time, the eldest princess who pretended to be Mu Qingyu's eldest maid was also teary-eyed, that's right, because the antidote developed by Lu Wuyi later made her get rid of the shackles of forgetting her worries, and at the same time, through Qin Yunuan's secret conditioning, the eldest princess's memory and mind have slowly returned to normal, just to keep Jing Yuanchu from becoming suspicious, she has been pretending to be stupid and ignorant very hard, but fortunately she still succeeded in deceiving Jing Yuanchu.

"It's me." The eldest princess approached slowly, her voice was gentle and gentle, just like countless times when Jing Donghua rushed back to the small thatched hut in Crescent Mountain, he could always see the eldest princess waiting for him under the oil lamp, "Donghua, I'm back, I'm not dead." ”

"Qinghe ......." Jing Donghua suddenly wanted to spit out all his thoughts about the eldest princess over the years, but suddenly, the eldest princess's eyes changed, she became very fierce, took out a dagger directly from her waist, and wanted to pierce Jing Donghua's heart, and shouted in her mouth: "I didn't die, because it was you who should be damned, you are a negative man." ”

At this moment, Jing Yuanchu's voice suddenly sounded outside: "Escort, there are assassins inside who want to kill the emperor." ”
