After Zhan Qi was urgently summoned into the palace by the emperor, he did not return until the evening.

After Du Xiaomeng waited for Old Man Zhan to sleep, he went back to his residence. It's still snowing outside, and looking at the fluttering snow during the day, I still feel a romantic beauty, and I feel excited and excited; But now, the same scenery, under the refraction of the dim light, but the snowy sky is like a gray shadow, pressing on Du Xiaomeng's heart and making her feel depressed.

Raising his eyes to look at the snow dance in the sky, a sense of foreboding arose from the bottom of his heart. I always felt that Zhan Qi was suddenly summoned into the palace by the emperor, something bad should have happened.

Slowly walking back to Si'en Garden, she gathered her thick coat and stood in front of the door looking at the garden gate. For some reason, she was a little expecting that the familiar figure would appear in front of her eyes and tell her that everything was okay and that there was nothing to worry about.

She was stunned and realized that she had expectations for people who shouldn't have expectations!

I can't help but scold myself in my heart, is it too idle? Yu Tianzheng is not suitable, and Zhan Qi is also not suitable. Is there a difference between a man with a group of wives and concubines and a man with only one concubine? There is not much difference, the same man who has a woman in the family has the same family.

For a person who has a family, no matter who that person is, he should not violate his own principles and have the slightest thought of him!

He quickly shook his head vigorously, as if to throw the thoughts that he shouldn't have from himself. Not daring to stay in front of the door any longer, she hurriedly turned around and pushed the door into the house, slamming it shut.

It was cold and swishing in the deserted room, and the temperature was not much warmer than outside. In those days, there was no central heating equipment, let alone a heater, so if you wanted to heat your house, you had to put a burning charcoal stove in the house. Many years ago, one of her elementary school classmates closed all the windows in the winter night and burned charcoal in the house to keep warm, and the whole family died due to inhaling too much carbon dioxide. The accident caused a lot of repercussions in the local area, and the seat of the classmate who died with the whole family was in front of Du Xiaomeng, so it left a deep imprint on the young Du Xiaomeng's heart, so that now she would rather be cold than touch the stove that can be heated.

The cold night is long, and I feel even more chilling when I sit on the cold chair with something hidden in my heart. The best way to not want to get cold is to burrow into the quilt quickly, as long as the quilt is warmed, even a lonely person can drive away the cold of the cold night.

Du Xiaomeng jumped on the bed and shrunk in the quilt, and finally covered the quilt to warm up, and when she closed her eyes, she went to find Zhou Gong to sleepwalk.

I slept for I don't know how long, and there was a knock on the door.

"Miss Du, are you in there?" Someone knocked and shouted.

The people outside knocked on the door for a while and shouted for a while before waking Du Xiaomeng up from his sleep. Du Xiaomeng was sleepy and shrunk in the warm quilt and didn't want to move, but the people outside persevered and continued to knock on the door to disturb people's dreams. I wanted to pull the quilt to cover my head and ignore it, but when I was confused, I suddenly thought that there might be something unexpected in Old Man Zhan, a spirit, Du Xiaomeng immediately uncovered the quilt and grabbed the coat at the head of the bed with one hand and put it on his body, and hurriedly opened the door.

There was a middle-aged servant woman standing outside the door, and when she saw Du Xiaomeng open the door, she hurriedly said without waiting for Du Xiaomeng to ask her: "Miss Du, His Royal Highness the Prince has come down, His Royal Highness said that he wanted to see you, and now he is waiting outside the gate of the General's Mansion!" ”

"What? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is down? Du Xiaomeng thought that she hadn't woken up and heard it wrong, what time is it? Will Yu Tianzheng come to her at this time?

The servant woman urged with a serious face: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down. His Royal Highness said that there is something important to see you immediately, Miss Du, please go out quickly, don't let Your Highness wait too long! ”

was urged by the servant woman to be anxious, and heard her say that Yu Tianzheng had something important, Du Xiaomeng didn't think much about it, quickly sorted out the clothes on her body, and trotted out.

When I arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, I walked through the ajar door and walked outside, and sure enough, I saw Yu Tianzheng's carriage parked in front of the door.

A young man dressed as a guard, she didn't know, stood in front of the carriage. Seeing her come out, the young man said through the heavy curtain, "Your Highness, Miss Du is here." ”

Although it was Yu Tianzheng's carriage, the guard in front of the carriage was not Zhao Yun.

Usually, Zhao Yun must be in charge of driving the car, but now that there is a different person, Du Xiaomeng is not sure if the person in the car is Yu Tianzheng. She subconsciously glanced around, and in the dead of night, the cold wind whistled and blew on her face with snowflakes, and even more swayed the lantern hanging on the carriage in front of her. The carriage stood alone in the snow, and the back of the carriage was pitch black, such a scene reminded Du Xiaomeng of the ghost carriage that can bring the soul to endless darkness in ghost movies.

Du Xiaomeng was blown by the cold wind and shivered involuntarily. Fearing deception, she stood in front of the gate, looking at the carriage with suspicion, and her feet did not move forward for half a minute.

The people in the car lifted the curtain, and the candlelight in the car came out, dyeing the snowflakes flying around the car, and also fell on Yu Tianzheng's face. Yu Tianzheng beckoned to Du Xiaomeng and said, "Come up." ”

Now that it has been determined that the person in the car is Yu Tianzheng, there is no need to stand at the door and blow the cold wind. Du Xiaomeng shrunk her neck and walked quickly down the steps towards the carriage.

As soon as he entered the carriage, a warm air surrounded Du Xiaomeng. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that there was a delicate small stove burning with charcoal burning in the innermost corner of the carriage. And Yu Tianzheng sat next to this small stove.

A lamp was lit on the small table next to the seat, and the candlelight was reflected in the car through the white lampshade. In this dim candlelight, he couldn't see Yu Tianzheng's appearance clearly, but he saw that the burning fire reflected the hem of his clothes red.

Du Xiaomeng found a place to sit down, and then looked at Yu Tianzheng and asked, "Tianzheng, what's the urgency of looking for me so late?" ”

Yu Tianzheng leaned forward, a little closer to the light and Du Xiaomeng, and then said, "Tomorrow I will be ordered to go north." ”

His voice was a little low, and under the reflection of the lights, Du Xiaomeng saw his face with a more prosperous face, with a seriousness that she had never seen before, and those bright eyes seemed to be a little different from usual.

This kind of Yutian government made Du Xiaomeng feel a little strange, and it made her feel oppressive and panicked for no reason. After a while, she stabilized her mind and asked, "Tomorrow you are going to march north?" Are you going to fight a war with the Northern Barbarians? ”

Yu Tianzheng nodded lightly and said, "The Northern Barbarians have once again sent troops to invade our country's borders for no reason, and several border cities have already fallen into the hands of the Northern Barbarians. ”

I have not experienced war, but I know the cruelty of war.

Now that he heard a familiar person telling him that he was going to go to the battlefield to fight, Du Xiaomeng's heart couldn't help but get nervous. However, she soon remembered that Yu Tianzheng was an invincible general who had fought on the battlefield for many years, and he was also a god-like figure in the Qiyang Kingdom. The Northern Barbarians have never been able to bargain for the slightest bargain in his hands, and this expedition is just a trivial matter for him.

Thinking of this, Du Xiaomeng smiled indifferently and said, "I hope you can return triumphantly as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you." Yu Tianzheng smiled softly, raised his eyes to stare at her face, and said, "I plan to send Xiaorui to my fiefdom during the expedition and live in her grandfather's house temporarily. Xiaomeng, can you follow her to my fiefdom and take care of her on my behalf? ”

"Me?" Du Xiaomeng pointed to her face in surprise.

Yu Xiaorui has so many mothers, and there are many maid mothers who specialize in serving her closely, and any one of the Rui Wang's mansions will follow her to Yu Tianzheng's fiefdom to take care of her, which is more suitable than her, an outsider who is not touched!

Yu Tianzheng saw Du Xiaomeng's surprise in his eyes. He straightened his waist and said with a serious face: "Xiaorui, she likes to stick to you very much, I am afraid that she will not be used to it when she goes there, so I thought of bothering you to take care of her for me temporarily." ”

"This ......" Du Xiaomeng actually wanted to say that this reason was really far-fetched, but she couldn't bear to say it. She frowned, a little embarrassed, Old Man Zhan still needs her to take care of her, but Yu Tianzheng has always given herself a lot of small favors, and Yu Xiaorui's girl is really very likable, she has no firm position to refuse Yu Tianzheng's request without hesitation.
