In the Qingxin Palace, Xie Yuanxing, who had fought all his life, felt uncomfortable, and wanted to say a few heartfelt words to Emperor Jianning, so he sent Lu Boyun, who was standing on one side, out.

Lu Shi took Lu Boyun out of the study, led him to the outer hall, and respectfully served the teacup.

Lu Boyun had no intention of sitting in the hall, and after greeting Lu Shi, he walked to the outside of the Qingxin Palace.

Lu Boyun had not yet walked out of the courtyard of the Qingxin Palace, and saw a person coming from a distance.

The visitors were gorgeously dressed, with pink faces and cloud buns, and their heads were full of beads. Slightly lowered his head, with a cold smile on his face.

After a pause in his heart, Lu Boyun stopped.

The person who came in front of him was clearly Mrs. Zhaoyue, who came from Dashun and herself.

But when the man approached, Lu Boyun found that it was not, but there was a resemblance between the eyebrows and eyes, and there was a little less aura on his body.

Greeting each other, Lu Bo lowered his head, and the person who came lowered his head slightly and walked over.

Lu Boyun turned around to look at it, and saw that Lu Zhi bowed his head to the man, and said with a polite smile, "Tao Niangzi, the emperor is discussing with General Xie, I'm afraid I don't have time to see you." ”

Tao Niangzi smiled softly, turned around and took the red-lacquered food box in the palace maid's hand, and said softly after handing it over to Lu Shi's hand, "The emperor works hard day and night on state affairs, and he works very hard, this is the wolfberry black chicken soup I made with my own hands, and I ask my father-in-law to take it in, and when the emperor is free, let him drink some to nourish his body." ”

Lu Shi hurriedly took it and bent down to say yes.

Tao Niangzi turned around and left, suddenly paused, turned around and raised her eyebrows at Lu Shi and said, "Father-in-law Lu, if the emperor doesn't ask, you don't need to tell the emperor that I have been here." ”

Lu Zhi said yes again.

Tao Niangzi lowered her head slightly, took the palace maid's hand and left.

After Lu Shi handed the food box in his hand to the little palace maid, he saw Lu Boyun walking back. Hurriedly bent down and said, "Lord Lu, but go in and have a cup of hot tea?" ”

Lu Boyun shook his head, looked at the background of Tao Niangzi's departure, and asked slowly, as if unintentionally, "I look at this nobleman, why is it so familiar?" ”

Lu Zhi smiled implicitly and did not reply. Seeing Mrs. Miao coming from the Qingxin Palace, she hurriedly greeted her, "The servant greets Mrs. Miao." ”

Mrs. Miao wore a royal blue palace dress, pulled up a high bun, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles. raised his hand to help Lu Zhixuan, and said softly, "Father-in-law Lu is tired." Raising his eyes to see Lu Boyun, he said, "Can this palace say a few words to Lord Lu." ”

Lu Zhi smiled knowingly, took a step back and made a gesture of invitation to the two.

Lu Boyun looked at the noble Mrs. Miao and smiled, and said, "I haven't seen you for half a year, but you are not like the original you." ”

Mrs. Miao raised her hand to support the step shake on her bun, and replied with a soft smile, "I haven't seen you for half a year, and my brother is still the same brother." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the feeling of unfamiliarity that they hadn't seen for half a year was swept away.

After glancing at Lu Zhi, who was standing far away, Mrs. Miao said bluntly to Lu Boyun, "Brother, I heard that you entered the palace and came to look for you. ”

Lu Boyun raised his eyebrows and motioned for Mrs. Miao to continue.

"Brother, my grandfather is old, how sure are you about being named a general?"

"This." Lu Boyun's tone paused slightly, and he replied, "It depends on what the emperor means." ”

Mrs. Miao stroked her lower abdomen and said to Lu Boyun, "Brother, you have to fight for it." As long as you become a general, your sister will be one step closer to Guan Ju Palace, and then the Lu family will ......"

Now in the harem, only she and Qing Xiuyi are pregnant, although Qing Xiuyi's month is older than hers, there is no guarantee that she will not be stillborn at the age of six months like the water lady.

As long as Lu Boyun becomes a general, she will give birth to another prince, and she will definitely be able to win the throne.

Lu Boyun looked at Mrs. Miao's eyes flashing with a hint of essence, and a trace of sigh rose in his heart, where is this still his gentle and kind little sister.

A little palace maid ran in from outside the courtyard, stood in front of Mrs. Miao and blessed her, and said in a low voice, "Madam, that's Mrs. Tao......"

Mrs. Miao raised her eyebrows and muttered softly, "Dressed more and more like Mrs. Zhaoyue, this palace looked coldly, and thought that her grounding was lifted." ”

Seeing Lu Boyun looking at her, Mrs. Miao said with a smile, "The old thing in the palace, Mrs. Zhaoyue set off fireworks to burn the Fengyang Palace two years ago, and she was grounded until now......"

Lu Zhi coughed lightly from a distance and walked slowly, bowing to Lu Boyun and saying, "Lord Lu, the emperor is asking you to go in." Turning around, he smiled at Mrs. Miao again, "Mrs. Miao, I'm afraid the emperor won't be idle until a while." ”

Mrs. Miao patted Lu Boyun's arm and whispered, "Brother, don't forget what this palace told you. ”

Lu Boyun took a step back from Mrs. Miao, nodded and followed Lu Zhi into the Qingxin Palace.

On October 16 of the fifth year of Jianning, Emperor Jianning, at the suggestion of Xie Yuanxing, named Lü Boyun as the general of Zhenyuan, commanding 300,000 iron cavalry at the border pass.

On October 18 of the fifth year of Jianning, after the general of Zhenyuan received the handsome seal above the court, the first thing he did was to hand the fold to Emperor Jianning.

In the excerpt, General Zhenyuan discussed the relationship between Dayue and Dashun in the past 20 years.

In the past 20 years, in the first few years, the war between the two countries seems to have ended with Dashun sending the princess to make peace, but in fact, it is the prestige of Otsuki's own country that has been destroyed.

Later, the two countries traded again, and the abundant grain made the people of Otsuki feel a kind of dependence on the powerful country in their hearts.

Now that Emperor Jianning has sent troops to attack Dashun, the people of Dayue are all uneasy.

The people's hearts are uneasy, and the army's morale is sluggish. The army is discouraged, how can they go to the front to resist the enemy?

Lu Boyun's words on the excerpt were very tactful, and at the end of the excerpt, he proposed that if he wanted to be full of morale before the battle, he had to come up with a way to motivate.

After Emperor Jianning finished reading the excerpt, he looked coldly at the hundred officials in the court and Lu Boyun kneeling on the Jinluan Hall without speaking.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Emperor Jianning recruited Lü Boyun to the Qingxin Palace.

Lu Boyun understood why Emperor Jianning had come to the Qingxin Palace. So after he asked for peace, he put up his robe and knelt in front of Emperor Jianning, and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to inspire the soldiers in the army, you can only let the people of Dayue believe that Dayue is not afraid of Dashun, and Dayue is not attached to Dashun, and Dayue is still prosperous." ”

"General Lu, since I have recruited you to the Pure Heart Palace, what I want to hear is not these." Emperor Jianning threw the fold in his hand to the side, "If you have something to say, say it directly." ”

"Weichen, panic." Lu Boyun gritted his teeth, looked at Emperor Jianning, and plucked up his courage to say, "Weichen, beg the emperor to let Mrs. Zhaoyue go with the army......

Emperor Jianning looked stunned, and his right hand holding Long Pei clenched suddenly.

Letting Lady Zhaoyue go with the army represents a real break in the relationship between Da Yue and Da Shun.

At that time, it will not only inspire the morale of the Dayue soldiers, but also the anger of the Dashun royal family.

This was not Emperor Jianning's original intention.

On October 23 of the fifth year of Jianning, Emperor Jianning received a report from Kuaima that Dashun had increased 100,000 troops to the empty city of the border pass, and the ceremony of Emperor Dashun was carried out as scheduled on October 16......"

"Fengtian carried the emperor and said: I only rule the world with literature, and fight chaos with force. And the military commander will be the pillar of the imperial court and the dry city of the country. Zhenyuan general Lu Boyun is both civil and military, and he has made efforts to repay his achievements, but he is not praised for his favor. I'm very comforting.

As the old saying goes, beautiful women admire heroes.

The existing Li daughter Zhaoyue is skillful and generous, gentle and generous, and has outstanding appearance, and I like it very much.

Today, I have allowed him to travel with the army to comfort General Zhenyuan's hard work. ”

In the Hall of Forgetting Worries, the fourth princess, dressed in a scarlet palace dress, read out the holy decree in her hand word by word.

The little face that was already like jade turned pale, the knuckles were clenched, and the lips trembled slightly.

She looked up at Emperor Jianning, who was sitting at the table, drinking himself with a wine cup, and horror appeared in her apricot eyes.

"You, you're going to send me to that Zhenyuan general?" The fourth princess couldn't believe it, she moved to the front of Emperor Jianning, grabbed the holy decree, and asked in a loud voice, "You can't do this, I am the princess who came from Dashun and his relatives, and you have no right to give me to ......."

"Come to Otsuki." Emperor Jianning swallowed the liquor in his mouth, licked his thin lips, and said to the fourth princess with an expressionless face, "You are the woman of Dayue." As the ruler of a country, I can decide whether you go or stay. ”

"Aren't you afraid of my eldest brother? Aren't you afraid that Dashun will not allow you? The fourth princess raised her hand and threw the holy decree out, her heart full of anger.

The decree smashed on one side and knocked over a teacup.

"I'm afraid." Emperor Jianning poured himself another glass of wine, and said truthfully, "I am afraid that Emperor Dashun will send troops, I am afraid that Dashun and Dayue will go to war, I am afraid that my soldiers will die on the battlefield, and I am afraid that my people will be displaced......"

The fourth princess looked at Emperor Jianning and swallowed another mouthful of spit. She didn't understand why Emperor Jianning was so afraid of sending the princess of Dashun out.

"But I'm even more afraid, the emperor of Dashun threatens me with my only emperor." Shaking the wine cup lightly, watching the crystal wine method swaying lightly on the wall of the cup, Emperor Jianning's heart was filled with bitterness, "Send you out, after the news is transmitted back to Dashun, the royal family of Dashun will definitely be angry, and then ......"

Then his only chance of survival for the emperor was less than one percent.

"Emperor?" The fourth princess was trapped in the palace of forgetfulness for two years, and she was not ignorant of the things in the harem. As far as she knew, Emperor Jianning only had four princesses and no princes.

"The woman who came and kissed you in your place." Emperor Jianning took a sip of wine and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Is her name Mo Mei or Ye Tingfeng?" Fengyang Hall was lost, she escaped from the palace, conceived my dragon heir in her belly, and gave birth to a prince after returning to Dashun. After a pause, Emperor Jianning emphasized, "The only prince of Dayue." ”

The fourth princess's face became more transparent, she slowly sat on the low couch, looked at Emperor Jianning and said, "You are afraid that my eldest brother will threaten you with this child, so you want to force him to death." He's your own son! ”

"I can't help it." Putting down the wine cup in his hand, Emperor Jianning put his fist against his forehead and said bitterly, "I have no way, I have no way, I have no way, I have no way to ......"

After saying a few things in a row, Emperor Jianning suddenly raised his head, and his eyes became red. He looked at the fourth princess and asked, "Why did you come back?" ”

Emperor Jianning's tone was flat, but the fourth princess shrank back.

She didn't want to come back, but she couldn't help it.

After leaving the honor guard of the relatives, she lived a happy life for two years. Just in the territory of Dayue, she didn't dare to go back to Dashun.

Then she met someone, someone who could banish all the gloom from her life.

That person can tolerate all her bad, all princess tempers.

Two years of good life, now I think about it like a dream.

Later, that person offended the magnates of Otsuki and had nowhere to seek justice. She scattered all her wealth and ran around, but she couldn't get the man out.

As the dignified fourth princess of Dashun, she can't even protect her own horse. I can only watch him be tortured in prison, and he can survive.

At this moment, the Liu family came to find him. The Liu family took her to prison, threw her a sharp blade, and told her to choose between her beloved and her own freedom.

Looking at the scrawny man covered in wounds, the good memories of two years became the poison that eroded her.

Throwing away the dagger, she chose to enter the palace and return to the trajectory of her life.

Thinking of the past, the fourth princess cried softly around her knees, she looked up at Emperor Jianning, and said, "I am a princess, and I should live like a princess." ”

"Live like a princess." Emperor Jianning took another sip of wine, narrowed his eyes, and chuckled, "Live like a princess......

The fourth princess wiped her tears, walked to the table and picked up the white jade pot, and poured herself a glass of wine.

Raising her head and drinking, she choked back tears.

After three glasses in a row, she sat down and stopped talking.

Emperor Jianning didn't speak, looking at the plum blossom-style candlestick on the table in a daze.

Seeing that the wine in Emperor Jianning's wine cup was empty, the fourth princess reached out and took it and poured wine for Emperor Jianning. The palm of his hand opened slightly, and a grain the size of a grain of rice fell into the wine cup.

After handing over the wine cup, the fourth princess burst into tears again. Two years ago, she only gave Emperor Jianning a love Gu, but she didn't have a love Gu.

The emperor loves, she is not rare.

But now, in order to maintain the dignity of Princess Dashun, she can only use this means.

Emperor Jianning stretched out his hand to take the wine cup and drank it without hesitation.

After putting down the wine cup, Emperor Jianning narrowed his eyes slightly.

The fourth princess was apprehensive in her heart, and watched Emperor Jianning, who was sitting motionless under the flickering candlelight, swallowed her saliva.

She wasn't sure how long it would take for the love Gu to be made, and she wasn't sure what the love Gu would be like after it was made.

Taking a step back, she leaned on Duobaoge, her eyes staring at Emperor Jianning for a moment.

After a while, Emperor Jianning opened his eyes, looked at the fourth princess in front of him and sighed, and smiled, "You, so afraid of me?" ”

The fourth princess was overjoyed when she saw that smile, and she hurriedly smiled at the corner of her mouth to greet Emperor Jianning, shook her head lightly and said, "I, the concubine is not afraid of you." ”

After holding the wine jug and pouring another glass of wine for Emperor Jianning, the fourth princess leaned towards Emperor Jianning.

Emperor Jianning stretched out his hand and pressed it on the shoulder of the fourth princess, reached out to take the wine cup but did not let the fourth princess approach.

The fourth princess was slightly stunned, and called in what she thought was the most coquettish voice, "Your Majesty." ”

"I won't change my mind." After raising his head and drinking the wine, and pursing his thin lips, Emperor Jianning said, "Tomorrow, there will be palace people to dress you up, and then carry it to the mansion of General Zhenyuan." From now on, you will be his concubine. ”

The fourth princess's face turned pale again, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, and said, "Your Majesty, think about it again, don't be in a hurry to make a decision for a while, Xu, maybe you will change your mind tomorrow." ”

It must be that the love Gu has not been sent yet, otherwise, how could Emperor Jianning insist on sending her out. Back then, Wu Yue gave Emperor Jianning a love trick, but Emperor Jianning held the fifth princess in the palm of his hand and hurt for three years.

Emperor Jianning raised his eyebrows, looked at the little face of the fourth princess with anxiety and anticipation, and smiled again, "No matter how long it takes, I will not change my mind." ”

Looking at Emperor Jianning's Qingming gaze, the fourth princess had no bottom in her heart. She took a step back and shook her head in disbelief.

How Wu Yue's Gu technique was, she had seen it with her own eyes, and it was impossible for the love Gu to have no effect.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow, you will make a decision tomorrow." The fourth princess stepped forward to pull Emperor Jianning's sleeve, but was stopped by Emperor Jianning.

"What is the difference between tomorrow and today?" Looking at the wine cup in front of him, Emperor Jianning remembered the glass of wine that the fourth princess poured for him, raised his sword eyebrows, and Emperor Jianning asked, "What did you put in my wine?" ”

The fourth princess panicked in her heart, her body shook for a while, and then she fell to the ground.

Emperor Jianning stood up, took two steps closer to the four princesses who were retreating again and again, and asked in an indifferent tone, "What did you put in my wine, say it, I don't blame you." ”

The fourth princess retreated to the painting screen and had no way out, looking at Emperor Jianning, who had no trace of anger in front of her, and spit out two words, "Love Gu." ”

The word love Gu entered his ears, and Emperor Jianning was slightly stunned.

"You're so good at listening to Ye Feng, isn't it all because you fell for her love Gu three years ago?" The fourth princess suddenly raised her head to Emperor Jianning and said, "Do you think you really like her?" ”

She just didn't understand why her own didn't work if it was the same Gu raised by Wu Yue, the same way of going down the Gu.

"Feng'er's love Gu?" Emperor Jianning suddenly smiled, turned around and sat down at the table and said to the fourth princess, "I did fall for her love Gu, but it wasn't three years ago, it was eight years ago. Compared to her Gu skills, yours really can't be on the table. ”

"Impossible...... The fourth princess looked at Emperor Jianning and screamed, "Eight years ago, how could it be!" ”

"It turns out that she has a love affair with me." Emperor Jianning did not listen to the words of the fourth princess, but continued to drink, with a bitter smile on his face.

No wonder, he walked so thoroughly, without even the slightest nostalgia.

Thinking about it like this, it seems that it is not so unforgivable for him to force their prince to death like this.

Raising his hand and tugging at his brow, he gritted his teeth, his face darkened under the candlestick.

His throat was salty, and black blood flowed down the corners of his mouth.

After a long time, Emperor Jianning raised his head, his face turned pale, and he shouted outside, "Lu Shi." ”

Lu Shi hurriedly walked in, saw that there was blood stains on the corner of Emperor Jianning's mouth, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the slave immediately ordered someone to pass on the national teacher." ”

Reaching out to help Emperor Jianning, Lu Zhi felt that Emperor Jianning's skin was as hot as a furnace, burning his hands painfully.

After coming to the palace, Lu Shi said in a very low voice to Ning Shi who came with him, "Miss Ning Shi, the emperor has a poisonous attack, you send the emperor back to the Qingxin Palace, and I will pass on the national teacher." ”“

244 Choice" Ye Tingfeng stood on the corridor of the Changle Palace, watching the snow falling from the sky in a daze.

In her memory, Dashun would only snow in November. Right now, it's only the middle of October. The golden autumn chrysanthemums in the imperial garden have not yet bloomed, and the large flowers hang on the branches, like the high heads of concubines.

Stretching out her slender jade hand to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky, she blinked her eyes and burst into tears.
