Chapter 821: Who Counts Whom
Moreover, it is not normal for Xiaofeng to come over at this time.
Now that the moon is in the middle of the sky, she is ready to go back to the side hall to rest after refining the last pill, and as soon as she leaves, the queen mother will naturally rest
Xiao Feng'er knows their routine and will not come over to disturb them after dinner.
Today is an exception.
"Did something happen?"
Feng Mohan didn't know that the woman was so sensitive, staring at her, not knowing how to answer.
Concealment, or outspokenness?
His eyes finally fell on the woman's bulging abdomen, and Feng Mohan smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that Uncle Huang is not here, I deal with so many government affairs every day, and I can't push it to the cabinet and the Hanlin Academy, so I'm a little lacking in energy." ”
"I used to try my best to be lazy, but now I'm all over government affairs," the woman shook her head and persuaded him, "Do things with a combination of work and rest, don't press yourself too hard." ”
"Got it, Aunt Huang."
Seeing that the woman began to clean up the medicinal herbs scattered on the table, she was about to go back to the side hall to rest, and Feng Mohan helped her.
On the soft couch over there, the Queen Mother was still reclining on the couch and reading the scriptures, her face was pale under the bright candlelight.
Now it is rare to hear her knock on the wooden fish again, but on weekdays, she will turn out the scriptures to read them in her spare time.
In terms of diet, it is also mostly vegetarian.
She no longer seems to be attached to the Buddha.
"Queen Mother, it's getting late, stop reading, rest early, this kind of light is not good for your eyes if you read for a long time." When the woman came to say goodbye to her, she talked a lot.
The queen mother hummed and didn't raise her eyelids.
"Old mama, don't let the queen mother read any more books when we leave later, and wait for her to go to bed early."
"The slave knows."
When the woman turned to leave, the Queen Mother raised her eyes to look at her back.
At the age of nineteen and less than twenty, she was in charge of everything, and it was up to her.
Then he looked at Feng Mohan, although the young man pretended to be casual on his face, but occasionally lowered his eyes, and the solemnity of his brows could not hide her eyes.
Something big must have happened, otherwise Feng Mohan would not be so emotionally exposed.
To be able to make Feng Mohan like this, it should have something to do with Qin Xiao.
He's halfway through the journey with his army now.
"Queen Mother, don't read anymore, it's time to rest." There was a reminder from the old lady in my ears.
Closing the scriptures and putting them away, the Queen Mother said lightly, "You helped Princess Nanling take care of the mourning family?" The mourning family is your master. ”
"The old slave doesn't dare, but the queen mother needs to take care of the phoenix body." The old lady hurriedly confessed.
In recent years, the queen mother has closed her door to cultivate her heart, and she is sad every day, and she has long hurt her body.
In the past, when the princess did not live in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, the queen mother often had a night cough and could not sleep, and it was only recently that the situation was slightly better.
The Queen Mother herself knew her situation, didn't say anything, and walked into the inner room.
Looking out of the inner room window, the moonlight was thick.
The same moonlight, hitting the surface of the canal, reflects the sparkling waves.
At first glance, the river looks like a sky full of broken stars.
The army crossed the river, and the ships were one after the other, and the long dragon was picked up on the canal.
Plough the waves.
Long dragon dragon head, Qin Xiao was wearing a silver battle armor, his hands were behind his back, and his eyes fell on the end of the dark night in the distance.
It has been nearly twenty days since the ships sailed on the river, and in about ten days the army will be able to reach Yigu City.
The young Son of Heaven was anxious and worried, and ordered him to send 200,000 troops to Yigu City to deter

Emperor of Dongyue.
Thinking of playing chess with the Son of Heaven that night, the Son of Heaven set up a ten-sided ambush for him in the Taihe Palace, and Qin Xiao's eyes were dark.
"Ignorant child."
He Qin Xiao has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and he has made a lot of achievements, and after countless winds and waves, how can he be frightened by a child.
is the difference between monarchs and ministers, and he has long been out of sight.
What he would not do, even if he held a knife to his neck, he would not want him to bow his head.
The court is treacherous, and every step is a scheming.
Who calculated whom, until the end, who can guess.
"General, there is a ten-mile slope on the northern outskirts of Yigu City, a grassland within a radius of 100 miles, suitable for camping......" a subordinate reported.
"Okay, then set up camp for ten miles." Qin Xiao said lightly, "Pass the order, and order the left, center, and right wing three lieutenants to come to my cabin, and I will have something to explain." ”
"Yes!"
On the side of Yigu City, Feng Qingbai and the Dongyue Emperor have had three appointments, but they all broke up unhappily.
Cheng Sheng was anxious in his eyes, and he couldn't care about pretending to work hard anymore in the past few days, pestering Feng Qingbai, "Lord Wang, the two sides have already talked three times, and the Dongyue Emperor has always been hesitant to come up with a charter, and the Dongyue army has been stationed outside the border, which is a great threat to my Nanling." If we can't negotiate, it's better to go to war directly and raise our country's prestige! ”
"Is General Cheng sure that he will be able to win?" Feng Qingbai asked.
"This ...... Although I don't dare to say that I am 100% sure, as long as I can move the reinforcements from Deng Lao's court, the grain and grass can be guaranteed to be sufficient, and he will not want to break through my border city in Dongyue! ”
Feng Qingbai looked up at the moonlight, his expression was confused and thoughtful, "Tomorrow's last appointment, if this king still can't convince the Dongyue Emperor, then make a decision." ”
After sending Cheng Sheng away, Feng Qingbai did not return to the room, sitting in the courtyard of the yamen, looking at the moonlight in the distance.
In these days, he had three interviews with the Dongyue side, and although the Dongyue Emperor showed a wavering look, he never let go and retreated.
But I talked to him again and again.
Fingers tapped on his knees, re-sorting out the things during this time, and after thinking about it again, Feng Qingbai's eyes faded.
didn't let go, and on the grounds of an appointment, he couldn't leave Yigu City, and the Dongyue Emperor was dragging him.
Then behind it, there must be a big thing.
- Leave quickly.
Xue Honglian's reminder rang in her ears that day, her lips hooked, and Feng Qingbai smiled faintly.
It seems that someone has united with the Dongyue Emperor and wants to keep him in Yigu City forever.
The two countries are at war, and they do not come to the enemy.
The first three times he was able to get out of the way, and tomorrow is the fourth time, can the Emperor of Dongyue still abide by that rule.
I'm afraid it may not be.
"Master, do you really want to go tomorrow?" Wei Zi appeared.
"Go, why don't you go, if you don't go, won't it make people laugh at rats." This interview was a post handed by the Emperor of Dongyue, and the location was at the Dongyue Border Palace.
"Master, the Emperor of Dongyue is a man who is sinister and cunning, and he is by no means a bright and upright person. The subordinates are worried that tomorrow will be a Hongmen feast. ”
"Even if it's a Hongmen banquet, this king has to go and see it in person, right?" Otherwise, how can you find out the black hand behind it.
Knowing that he had no way to convince his master, Wei Zi frowned, "Tomorrow, my subordinates will accompany my master, and I will not leave my master!" ”
"No, you can't go to-morrow, and if you do, whatever means they use there, the king won't be able to find a helper when he wants to run. You are outside the palace, waiting to receive the king. ”
Wei Zi was speechless, he didn't understand how the master could still behave so lightly at such a time.
