The cold winter in the north seems to be extraordinarily long, and it has entered March, but the weather is still not warm, just like the current situation in Handshan, which is bitterly cold and bleak.

Although Li Ye had already been instructed to hurry up and inform Zhang Yi that he must be careful, but even so, Lin Yingxue was still very uneasy.

"Miss, someone brought it in." In a trance, Miaoqin's voice sounded in his ears.

Lin Yingxue looked back and saw Miaoshu walking in from outside.

It seemed that he had a premonition of something, and Miaoshu's whole person was a little uneasy, completely losing the spirit of the previous two days.

"When did you start working for the king of Southern Xinjiang?" Lin Yingxue has never liked to beat around the bush when she speaks.

If Murong Xun hadn't taken the initiative to say Zhang Yi's matter yesterday, maybe he would have been able to fool Miaoshu in the end.

"Miss......" Miaoshu listened to Lin Yingxue's cold tone, and knew that the matter must have been revealed, so she knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Tears rolled down like a flood that opened the floodgates, Miaoshu's lips trembled slightly, and his thin body fluttered like catkins in the cold wind.

"When the slave maid was still in the Lin family, she was already a member of the Lingfang Concubine...... The young lady is like a sister to the slave and the maid, but the slave and the maid betray the young lady, and the slave and the maid deserve death......"

There was a crisp sound of 'pop', and before Miaoshu's words were finished, Miaoqin on the side couldn't help but make a move, and raised his hand heavily to give Miaoshu a slap.

"Okay, you eat things inside and out, Miss is so good to you, you actually help outsiders deal with Miss, I'm blind, and I actually treat you as a good sister for so long!"

Miaoqin's eyes widened, and her eyes almost erupted with anger.

"Heh......" Miaoshu let out a self-deprecating laugh similar to a whimper from his throat, "If the slave has a choice, why should the slave and the slave be like this...... In short, the slave knows that she can't live with Miss, and she can only apologize if she dies! ”

After Miaoshu said this, he raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then suddenly got up and rushed towards the pillar on the side.

"Wonderful book!" The incident happened suddenly, and even Miaoqin, who was next to Miaoshu, didn't expect Miaoshu to be so decisive, so for a while he could only watch Miaoshu crash towards the pillar.

'Bang', this sound not only hit the pillar, but also hit Lin Yingxue's heart hard.

Seeing that thin body fell to the ground like a flying leaf, and there was no movement anymore, Lin Yingxue's thoughts suddenly became complicated-

The girls in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are the girls who have been with her for the longest time, and she has always trusted them.

This time when she learned of Miaoshu's betrayal, it would be impossible to say that she was not angry in her heart, but for these people who were more like relatives by her side, Lin Yingxue actually didn't think about how to deal with Miaoshu.

Miaoshu probably thought of this as well, so she was like a moth to a fire, eager to end her life.

Don't embarrass Lin Yingxue, this is the last bit of compensation left for Lin Yingxue by Miaoshu as a ring.

The room was quiet for a long time before Lin Yingxue whispered, "Take people down and bury them well." ”

"Yes." Miaoqin answered, with obvious crying.

It seems that even Miaoqin, who has always been strict, is just a knife-mouthed tofu heart.

Lin Yingxue's mood was not very good all afternoon, so even the entire Hibiscus Garden was a little lifeless.

"Queen, please have tea." Some childish voices suddenly sounded in my ears.

Lin Yingxue's drifting eyes gradually focused, she turned her head to follow the voice, and saw a little girl about eleven or twelve years old with her hair tied up, with big black eyes, looking at her a little timidly.

Who's this? Lin Yingxue cast an inquiring look at Miaoqin, who came in later.

"This is Aunt Liu's niece in the kitchen." Miaoqin put down the pastry in her hand, sighed and said leisurely: "Aunt Liu has been in poor health recently, so she went home to recuperate." ”

"This little girl stayed in the house alone to do things, saying that it was to earn some money for Aunt Liu's medical treatment...... However, when the slave saw that this little girl was thin and small, but she was doing all the heavy work of chopping wood, carrying water, and making fires, she felt a little unbearable in her heart, so she was good at advocating bringing people to the inner courtyard. ”

"In this way, this little girl will not only be able to get more money every month, but she will also be able to do the work more easily." After Miaoqin finished speaking, she couldn't help but touch the little girl's head sympathetically.

After Lin Yingxue heard what happened to the little girl, she was also a little moved in her heart.

She grabbed the small hands of the person in front of her and looked at them, only to see that the small hands were red and swollen, and they were full of sores, no matter how you look at them, you can't think that these are the hands of a little girl who is only a teenager.

In a trance, Lin Yingxue remembered the years when she was abused by the Lin family before, her heart softened, she shook the little girl's hand and said, "Well, you will follow Sister Miaoqin in the future." ”

"Thank you, Queen." The childish voice of the little girl sounded in her ears, and this time there was more joy in her tone.

Lin Yingxue looked at the joy in the child's heart, so she couldn't help but ask softly, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to the Queen." The little girl was blessed with a good appearance, and replied respectfully: "The slave has no name, and the people below are only called slave and maid." ”

"That'...... You will be called Xia Zhu in the future. Lin Yingxue thought about it and casually named the girl.

Xia Zhu was very happy after hearing this, "The slave finally has a name, thank you for the queen's name." ”

Lin Yingxue smiled, but there was a hint of sorrow between Yuanshan Dai's eyebrows.

Xu saw that Lin Yingxue had a gentle temper and seemed to be a good match, so Xia Zhu involuntarily stretched out his hand and touched Lin Yingxue's eyebrows, "The queen is good-looking, even when she is sad, she has a special taste like spring rain, but if the queen laughs, she will definitely look better." ”

The child is simple, and he has always said whatever he thinks in his heart.

Lin Yingxue was worried about a lot of things that had happened recently, but now after Xia Zhuyi's persuasion, she felt a lot better.

"It's a clever one." Lin Yingxue smiled, and grabbed a handful of copper coins from the box on the side and stuffed them into Xia Zhu's hand, "Take it, I'll reward you." ”

"Thank you, Queen!" Xia Zhu took it with a happy face.

For a while, the dull atmosphere in the room was much more relaxed.

"It seems that the slave maid really didn't look at the wrong person, with Xia Zhu here in the future, I'm afraid our courtyard will be a lot more lively." Miaoqin said with a smile on the side.

As soon as the words fell, two hurried figures suddenly walked in outside the door.

Several people in the room turned their heads to look at the same time, only to see that one of them was sturdy and quite tall, and the other was thin and long, looking a little elegant.

At first glance, it's a stark contrast.

"Li Junshi, Vice General Sun." Looking at these two people, the little smile that had just floated on Lin Yingxue's face suddenly faded, "The two of you came over in a hurry, but what happened?" ”

"After returning to the queen, the spies placed in Yuzhou City by his subordinates came to report, I'm afraid there will be action in Yuzhou in the next two days......" Li Ye replied with a very solemn expression.

Lin Yingxue frowned and listened, but did not answer for a while.

And Sun Dahu was a little absent-minded after Li Ye, and only turned his head and smiled at Miaoqin.

Seeing this, Miaoqin glared at Sun Dahu fiercely, then gave Xia Zhu a look, and the two went out together.

“…… It seems that even if Murong Xun doesn't destroy it, we won't be able to wait for Zhang Yi to send us food. Thinking of Murong Xun's words that night, Lin Yingxue was a little flustered in her heart.

Li Ye had thought of this a long time ago, his thick eyebrows were furrowed, and a dead knot was tied between his eyebrows.

"If it really comes to that point, we can only break the cauldron and fight against the water!"

This is their last choice, after all, their Wang Jiajun is not the kind of bastard who surrenders without a fight!

When Lin Yingxue heard this, she didn't speak for a long time.

There must be a way, this Hanshan is the city they finally captured!

If this city is broken, the Yuzhou army will inevitably chase after it and take down all the tribes in the desert......

At that point, they were really like Murong Xun said, and they could no longer compete with Meng Yi or him.

'Ahh The atmosphere in the room began to freeze obviously, and suddenly a sneeze was heard.

Li Ye, who was concentrating on thinking about things, was taken aback, and couldn't help but turn his head and glared at Sun Dahu.

Sun Dahu scratched his head full of grievances, "Who can endure this itchy nose, you can't let people not sneeze......"

“……”

"Let your people find a way to send a message to Qu Yang, and I will meet General Qu alone tonight." Before Li Ye could say a few words about Sun Dahu, Lin Yingxue's calm voice rang in his ears.

"The queen wants to meet General Qu alone?" Li Ye's face was full of shock, "It's not difficult to deliver a letter to Qu Yang, but that Qu Yang is the commander of the Yuzhou military horse, and if the queen meets alone in the middle of the night, it may be difficult to guarantee the safety of her life." ”

"It's the last resort." Lin Yingxue unconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and said in a deep voice: "The prefect of Yuzhou has been bought by Murong Xun, and now the only way to start is from this Qu Yang's hands. ”

"Qu Yang is the commander of the Yuzhou Army, if he can defect, our city can be saved."

"But that Qu Yang is the nephew of the prefect of Yuzhou, and it stands to reason that the two of them are grasshoppers on the same rope, so Qu Yang may not be so easy to defect." Li Ye did not deny Lin Yingxue's method, but if this matter is about to be implemented, it is really difficult.

"Hmph, even if there are still differences between parents and children, not to mention that Qu Yang is just the nephew of the prefect of Nayu Prefecture." When Lin Yingxue said this, she unconsciously remembered her cold father.

is also a child, how can he be so partial!

"When the king was here before, he sent someone to check the details of this Quyang, and I also know a little bit about this Quyang...... But everyone has a weakness, and if you look for the other party to attack, there is no hope. Lin Yingxue's eyes sank inch by inch, but her expression was unusually calm.

When Li Ye heard this, he thought about it before responding: "The subordinates know, and the subordinates will go down to make arrangements." ”
