It was almost seven o'clock in the evening after Lu Xiuyi's meeting, and the sky was gloomy in the evening, and the snow had been blowing for an unknown amount of time, and the sound of his and Xia Yuan's small footsteps echoed in the empty passage.

Xia Yuan rubbed his hands and looked at the sky, "Lord Lu, please." The snow fell early this year! ”

Lu Xiuyi looked up at the sky, "The snow is not frozen and the spring is cold." ”

This year, the snow fell too early, and the first snow fell in just over September, and Nie Lingping's troops encountered heavy snow as soon as they crossed the river, so they had to stop in Yezhou. Yezhou has always been not rich in resources, but fortunately, it is this year's military ration collection point, which is in danger of waiting for the help of the capital.

Although it snowed for more than September, after a few snowfalls, the weather cleared up and the temperature warmed up, as if God had deliberately embarrassed the troops fighting this year.

Although on the whole, the losses of the north and the south are about the same, but in the long run, the impact on the north and the north is greater.

After October, the land has not been frozen, the people of Nanzhao are still wearing single shirts, the temperature has plummeted, the heavy snow season in the past few days has not snowed abnormally, but the sun is shining, next year there may be a cold spring weather is inevitable, not only the cold spring, next year may also be a dry year.

Today's war has already broken our muscles and bones, and if there is a great drought tomorrow, it is simply unthinkable.

During the attack on Yunling Pass, it rained heavily for several days, and the pass that could have been taken not only did not take it, but lost the elite troops of the Wang Division, and even the whereabouts of the commander Xie Youyi were unknown.

Thinking of Xie Youyi, Lu Xiuyi sighed, it was rain and snow, Xie You must have no hope of surviving, and there was more than luck.

As soon as the war ended, the troops of the Northern Dynasties were stationed strictly on the Dingjiang River, blocking all exchanges, not only the Dingjiang Border blockade, Yuan Ke actually ordered the entire territory of the Northern Dynasties to be blockaded and all trade suspended. The damage to the country's economy is incalculable, but Yuan Ke still does this, which is really incomprehensible.

Yuan Ke took the initiative to propose peace talks, which surprised Lu Xiuyi a little, and what surprised him even more was that he dared to open his mouth and propose to exchange 20,000 prisoners of war for an officer.

It's ridiculous.

Why would the Holy One agree?

Lu Xiuyi pondered for a while, but didn't figure it out. After pondering it again, there was a vague line, but when I thought about it, it became thousands of lines.

So he had no clue.

"Which palace does Xie Zhaorong often deal with?"

Xia Yuan said, "Xie Zhaorong rarely goes out of the palace gate, and does not communicate with the palaces, only the saint must go every day." ”

Lu Xiuyi said, "Your Majesty loves Zhaorong very much. ”

Xia Yuan smiled, "It's not!" No matter how busy the saint is, he has to run once a day, and it is really rare for His Majesty to be so satisfied with the harem nobles in the past ten years. ”

At the gate of Shenwu Gate, the two separated, Xia Yuan went to Gantang Palace to ask questions on behalf of the saint, and Lu Xiuyi left the palace.

After the winter, Concubine Rong became more and more ill, and the Taoist priest bluntly said that she could not survive the New Year. The prince served the decoction every day, and he was already emaciated, but he was even more skinny because of sadness and haggardness, and he looked a little withered, but he still went to Gantang Palace every day without undressing.

Since the concubine was ill, Xiao Yue let Wu Shuyuan deal with everything in the harem first, he had never stepped into the Gantang Palace, and there was a lot of discussion in the palace.

Concubine Rong has been in the palace for many years, and she is the biological mother of the prince, although she has not ascended the throne, she is like the emperor and queen. Xie Zhaorong and Concubine Rong Guifei also had illnesses in bed, and they went to Xianchi Palace every day, but they never entered Gantang Palace once, even if they passed by. At this time, everyone couldn't help but talk about Emperor Gao's favor for Concubine Xiao Xie in the previous dynasty, and almost made a big move to set up another after the abolition, or if Emperor Gao suddenly ascended to Bliss, I am afraid that this emperor and queen would have changed people long ago.

Emperor Gao left Gentle Township and went to Baiyun Township, whether it was from the Queen Mother of the West or from the summons of Taishang Laojun, anyway, a big wave of people breathed a sigh of relief.

At least Empress Yang doesn't have to worry about it every day, and the prince doesn't have to sleep unsteadily every day.

is also a young man who won the world, he is also a concubine who worked hard in the early stage, and he is also a concubine who loves Xie Fu...... The Holy One is in danger right now.

The only difference between the Holy and the High Emperor today is ...... The big thing is that the saint is a good Buddha or not?

Spoiled concubines and wives have not ended well since ancient times, don't go far, just say closer, Emperor Gao is a living and bloody example!

Wu Shuyuan managed the harem in an orderly manner, however...... She seems to be very bad at controlling rumors, and the gossip in the palace has spread outside the palace, and she still sits firmly in the Zhongcui Palace every day.

The Vermilion Bird Gate is the only way out of the palace, the fine snow flutters down, Lu Xiuyi wrapped the big snow tightly and walked on the snow, just turned the corner, and saw the two of them standing in the snow from a distance.

When it was dark, Lu Xiuyi squinted his eyes, and the figure of the woman in the middle was red...... Some of them are like Lingbi, and when they got closer, they knew that she had been in the snow for a long time.

Lingbi wore a short-sleeved jacket with autumn fragrance, a bow tied tightly around her waist, and the girl Cai Yin stood next to an oil-paper umbrella.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lingbi looked up suddenly, and when he saw that it was indeed him, he hurriedly ran over, looking anxious.

Because Concubine Rong was seriously ill, Lingbi and the prince took turns to serve the decoction, and they were also haggard, and the lack of fat powder made her less domineering and more delicate and beautiful.

After standing in the snow for too long, her lips were blue from the cold, and her face was pale.

Without waiting for Lu Xiuyi to speak, Lingbi grabbed his sleeve and hurriedly said, "Wu Shuyuan wants Cai Wei to be transferred to the Shangfu Bureau, what should I do, what should I do." ”

She couldn't say anything about being frozen, and spit out a series of characters, anxious and fast, but fortunately, Lu Xiuyi listened carefully and understood what she meant at once.

Cai Wei has followed Lingbi since she was a child, and she is also born lively and smart, and she is deeply liked by Lingbi, every time Lingbi goes out of the palace, she is taken with her nine times out of ten.

"Why did Wu Shuyuan transfer the people around you?" Lu Xiuyi groaned, opened his mouth to ask her, brushed the snow off her clothes, and took off the big hat on her body and draped it on her.

This question gets to the point.

He has always been good at grasping the key points.

Hearing Lu Xiuyi's question, Lingbi's body shook, and she was silent for a while, she really couldn't speak.

This palace is secret, what should she say to him?

This palace has always been dirty, with surging undercurrents, and she is a princess, so she will inevitably be involved.

What would he think if he knew that he was also involved in the Suzaku Gate incident? His father has always valued him, and specially asked him to be in charge of this matter, asking him to find out all the masterminds behind the scenes, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was implicated in Jingzhou, and everyone in the East Palace was replaced. It's not that she is not afraid, if such a big thing happens......

Now she is not involved, but it is because Gantang Palace and Vermilion Bird Palace are tight-mouthed. If you find the Suzaku Palace, you will not be far from pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud.

Thinking of this, she shuddered, looked up at Lu Xiuyi, and turned her head in a hurry. In front of her is the head of the criminal department of Dazhao, and she has always been good at digging deep into cases, how long can she hide it?

She didn't want to tell him, she didn't want him to look sideways at herself.

Such a sinful self.

Seeing that Lingbi was silent for a long time, Lu Xiuyi didn't speak again, just looked at her quietly.

After a long time, he spoke slowly, "Now that I ask, you just need to answer yes or no." ”

Lingbi bit her lip and nodded slightly.
