Peony was in a hurry in the room, where did she think that the Gu family said to solve the butcher for her, but now it's only a few days, and the butcher has come to the door again, obviously, the Gu family said to solve the matter for her, it was to fool her at all, in order to let her hurry up and do things for them.

After she really did it, they wanted to leave it alone, Peony sent several messages to Lanyue Palace, but they didn't get a response, and today they received a second note, and Peony knew that her sister's matter was urgent.

If it continues to drag on, with the character and courage of the uncle and aunt, marrying a sister will definitely be their last choice.

No, Peony said that she would not let her sister fall into the hands of such a villain, she was the closest person to her sister in this world, and she couldn't watch her being pushed into the fire pit and say that she would have to be saved.

Peony wanted to go out of the palace to take her sister away overnight, but she was in the palace, it was not easy to go out, Peony was in a hurry, found Liu Wu, and told Liu Wu that she was going out of the palace, but Liu Wu told her that she should go to Niang Niang first to make her words clear before leaving.

It was only at this time that Peony realized that things were out of her control......

Helian Hongyi held a cabinet meeting in the inner hall of the Taihe Palace, and the military department Shangshu reported to Helian Hongyi what had happened recently.

"My Great Qi is now a strong country, and the State of Chu seems to have recuperated for so many years, and began to be ready to move on the border, and it is said that the Emperor of the State of Chu has sent a lot of Chu State details to mix into our country, intending to subvert. Daqi must not be tolerated. ”

Helian Hongyi sat on the main seat, while listening to the Shangshu of the Ministry of War talking about the affairs of the Chu State, while looking at the Bianguan report submitted by the Ministry of War, the mighty general expressed his opinion:

"Hmph, back then, our Helian family army was stationed outside the pass, where did the Chu State dare to invade the border, it was just a group of clowns who jumped off the beam, and when the emperor sent troops to suppress it, they would be honest. I am willing to lead the troops! ”

The head of the military department seems to disapprove of the words of the mighty general:

"What the general said is wrong, although the state of Chu was driven out of the customs by the Helian army ten years ago, and has not violated the border for so many years, it is not because the state of Chu is afraid of us, but in the past few years, the state of Chu has been in civil strife, and several sons of the emperor of Chu have competed for the throne, so that the power of the state of Chu is unstable, and now Chu Yanzhang, the king of Zhenping, finally won the throne, and the state of Chu is stable, and the national strength cannot be underestimated."

The generals around the mighty general also came forward to debate and dispute with the military department Shangshu around this topic, and Helian Hongyi did not speak on the main seat.

Liu Youcheng is a civil servant, and he has no absolute right to speak on the affairs of the military department, so he also sat aside, and saw that although Helian Hongyi was reading the newspaper, he hadn't turned a page for a long time, so he couldn't help but lean over and shout softly:

"Your Majesty, don't you take a stand on the affairs of the Chu State?"

Helian Hongyi came back to his senses suddenly, looked at Liu Youcheng, and then stood up, the military department Shangshu and the mighty general were arguing, seeing Helian Hongyi get up, he hurriedly stood aside, Helian Hongyi waved his hand at them, and said coldly:

"You discuss first, and I will go out for a walk."

After finishing speaking, Helian Hongyi pinched his eyebrows and walked out of the inner hall as if he was very tired.

Since Gu Banqin gave him a so-called 'hypnotherapy' last time, Helian Hongyi felt that his mental consumption was particularly serious, and he seemed to spend more energy than usual to calm his emotions.

Liu Youcheng saw that Helian Hongyi's face was different, so he followed out, and Helian Hongyi walked out of the Taihe Hall with his front and back feet, and Zhang Cheng, the deputy commander of the imperial guard, pointed to Liu Youcheng in the direction of the imperial garden around the Taihe Palace, and Liu Youcheng chased Helian Hongyi.

In the garden, Helian Hongyi was sitting in a pavilion with snow, the snow in the pavilion had not yet melted, Helian Hongyi didn't mind, reached out and brushed the snow on a stone bench to the ground, and sat down.

After Liu Youcheng walked over, Helian Hongyi looked up at him and smiled reluctantly:

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

Liu Youcheng also learned from Helian Hongyi, brushed away the snow on the stone bench next to him, sat on it, and said to Helian Hongyi:

"The emperor doesn't seem to be in good spirits for the past two days. Should the mountain closure and winter hunting be postponed in a few days? ”

Helian Hongyi looked at Liu Youcheng and couldn't help but smile: "If it weren't for Youcheng's reminder, I really forgot about the winter hunting of the mountain." There's no need to postpone, I'm not so weak, but it's just ...... It's just a lot of thinking. ”

Liu Youcheng also heard about the recent awkward incident between Helian Hongyi and Gu Banqin, put his hands into his sleeves, and said to Helian Hongyi with white anger:

"The minister remembers that when the emperor first ascended the throne, he could only sleep for two hours a day, and the rest of the time was all about dealing with political affairs, but he never heard the emperor say that he thought about many things."

"It seems that the things that the emperor has been thinking about recently are much more troublesome to the emperor than those piles of folds and dossiers. I don't know what kind of headache it is, can I say that I can listen to it with the minister, even if the minister can't share the emperor's worries, it's better to say it than to hold it in my heart. ”

Liu Youcheng is the eldest brother who watched Helian Hongyi grow up, when the two were in the military camp in the past, they were inseparable, Liu Youcheng is a military advisor, he has no intention of fame and fortune, only values love and righteousness, and is the most trusted person by Helian Hongyi.

Exhaling a breath, Helian Hongyi said to him after careful consideration:

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just ...... I don't know what to do with a person. ”

Liu Youcheng was extremely smart, and when he heard it, he heard the key and asked, "Does the emperor want to talk about the virtuous concubine?" ”

Guessed by someone at once, Helian Hongyi did not speak, but sighed and turned his gaze to the snow on the side.

"Doesn't the emperor believe in Concubine Xian? The minister dared to ask, what did Niangniang do to make the emperor think like this? ”

Liu Youcheng's impression of Gu Banqin is very good, a good girl who is diligent, smart, hardworking, kind, generous, and upright, and Liu Youcheng also knows that the emperor still loves Concubine Xian Niangniang, but I don't know why.

Helian Hongyi took a deep breath: "I ...... Think she's scary. ”

To the eldest brother who grew up with him, Helian Hongyi said a truth that had been buried in his heart for several days.

This truth made Liu Youcheng extremely surprised, and even began to doubt his ears, that invincible and capable Emperor His Majesty was actually a person to fear, and she was still a powerless woman!

This is simply ridiculous.

"Her thoughts and actions made me feel a kind of nervousness of being oppressed, and she also reminded me of the things in Hongxia Mountain back then, Hongxia Mountain is a place where I can never let go, and I don't want to think about what happened in it for a moment, but what about her?"

"I don't know what kind of demon method was used, so that what lingers in my mind these days are those lingering cruel memories in Hongxia Mountain, I ...... I can't face her, seeing her will only make my bad memories more and more deep, and I don't want her to control me. So, I'm going to get rid of her. ”

Liu Youcheng was shocked by Helian Hongyi again, he hadn't heard the words 'Hongxia Mountain' for decades, he was a few years older than Helian Hongyi, and he knew about Hongxia Mountain back then.

Twenty children went, but only one returned, and from then on, a cheerful and lively little boy slowly became ruthless, which was the tempering of the emperor to him, but it also stifled his feelings to a certain extent.

"What the emperor is afraid of is memories, where is the virtuous concubine. Don't be impulsive and make irreparable mistakes. ”

Liu Youcheng stood up and comforted Helian Hongyi, but the killing intent in Helian Hongyi's eyes became heavier and heavier, and he didn't answer Liu Youcheng's words, so he walked out of the pavilion without looking back.

Liu Youcheng didn't catch up when he wanted to chase him, looking at Helian Hongyi's back as he walked farther and farther, Liu Youcheng showed a worried expression on his face.

Gu Banqin was tossing in his own field, and the snow was removed, and Gu Banqin was worried that the fruits and vegetables would be frozen.

Zhang Yuzhu sneakily ran in from outside with a burden, and asked Liu Wu and Caiping for a long time, but he didn't say anything, until Gu Banqin came over, and then handed the burden to Gu Banqin, saying:

"This is something that a little eunuch bought from my aunt to bring to my mother, and it was sent in with the things of the Gu family, fortunately, the slave happened to be in the Inner Court, otherwise everything would have been taken away by Wang Huan of the Lanyue Palace."

"The little eunuchs of the Purchasing Division told him that this is what Concubine Xian's aunt brought to Concubine Xian, but Wang Huan, that bastard, acted as if he hadn't heard it, saying that as long as it was something sent by the Gu family, it was all from their concubine, and the slave had to snatch it back."

Zhang Yuzhu was honest, it was impossible to add oil and vinegar to tell lies, Gu Banqin took the burden, handed the small shovel in his hand to the catkins, and walked under the grape trellis, while saying:

"Are the people of the Moon Hall already so arrogant? It's only been a few days since I've fallen out of favor? ”

Gu Banqin's self-deprecating words made the catkins sigh, and the catkins stepped forward and untied the clothes of Gu Banqin's cover, and the color screen fetched water to wash Gu Banqin's hands, and they heard the catkins counting with Gu Banqin:

"The slave maid told Niangniang before, but Niangniang didn't believe it, and asked the slaves and maids not to provoke the Moon Palace, but now Niangniang heard it, it's not a matter of whether we provoke them or not, but they provoke us! The aunt pointed out the things that let the mother bring, not only did they not avoid it, but they also wanted to take it away, which shows how arrogant the Lanyue Palace is. ”

Gu Banqin wiped his hands clean and nodded in response to the accusation of catkins:

"yes, that sounds pretty hateful."

The painless sentence made Liu Wu seem to hold his breath and didn't come out, and he wanted to say something, so he stopped the color screen: "You talk a lot, these things, is it possible that if you don't tell Niangniang, Niangniang won't know?" Go and get some cream, the mother's hand can't blow the wind in winter. ”

Liu Wu glared at Caiping, Caiping was not angry but laughed, Liu Wu was helpless, so he had to pout and walk to the hall, after Zhang Yuzhu went down, Caiping also took away the water basin, Gu Banqin sat under the empty grape trellis, rubbed his hands, and opened the baggage.

The baggage was full of bottles and cans, and after Gu Banqin opened it, an unfinished bottle rolled onto her lap.

Gu Banqin picked up this very ordinary white porcelain bottle and looked at it, there were three words written on the outside of the bottle, 'Nourishing Pill', and then took out another bottle, which said 'Beauty Pill'.
