Wuyang swept half a circle towards the baggage she had prepared, staring and thinking.

She should have prepared.

Meeting Wuyang's suspicious eyes, Han Xing couldn't hold back his little face and couldn't help laughing.

"Fourth Emperor Sister, are you teasing this palace?" Wuyang raised her eyebrows, looking like "she wants to be polite to Hanxing".

"Sister Eldest Emperor, no kidding, seriously......" Han Xing finally held back his laughter, and hurriedly said, "Didn't you ask for a peace charm for your eldest brother-in-law?" ”

Wuyang was stunned, she really forgot to ask for a peace charm.

"Come on, prepare the carriage quickly!"

Wuyang hurriedly ordered, and at this time, Hanxing was so proud that he threw a smug look at Duanmu Fei, as if to say, look, it's better to think about it yourself.

Duanmu Fei applauded Han Xing very cooperatively.

The three of them have never been exquisite, and when they said they went out, they immediately hurried out, went to Huangjue Temple together to ask for a peace charm, and came back in a hurry before noon.

As soon as the Zhulun car entered King Jian's mansion, a mother-in-law came to greet him and said, "Your Highness, the lady and the second lady of the Pingjin Bo Mansion are here, and they are now at the concubine's place." ”

Since the death of Wang Junji, the concubine Bi took refuge in Xinfangtang on East Road.

Wuyang frowned, she had ordered that no one from the Pingjin Mansion should be allowed to enter the door again.

The woman seemed to see Wuyang's displeasure, and added, "It was the concubine who let them enter the mansion." ”

Wuyang's eyes flashed, stroked his sleeves and said, "Fourth Emperor Sister, Sister Scarlet, you accompany the palace to ask for peace for the concubine." ”

Han Xing and Duanmu Fei naturally responded with kindness, and exchanged a look with each other, full of interest.

So, the three of them went to Xinfangtang where Concubine Bi lived.

Wuyang was familiar with the cloister with nine curves and eighteen bends and the lush courtyard, and arrived at Xinfangtang without a cup of tea.

As soon as they reached the eaves, they heard a familiar female voice from the direction of the east time, sharp and arrogant:

"Concubine, I told you a long time ago, giving Ah Ran a side concubine and leaving an incense is the most important thing at the moment, now it's okay, Ah Ran is about to go on the expedition, and this Jun family has no queen yet! If King Jian's Mansion is extinct, you will be the sinner of the Jun family! ”

Duanmu frowned slightly, and immediately heard that it was Mrs. Bi's voice.

Han Xing pouted, not too happy, and muttered softly, "What do you mean?" Is this a curse on the eldest brother-in-law to go and never return? ”

The maid guarding the eaves was about to salute them, but Wuyang raised her hand to stop her and motioned for her to be silent.

Mrs. Bi in the house was still chattering: "Concubine, it's not me who says cool things!" Wouldn't it be better if you had answered my family's Sister Zhu and Ah Ran's family affairs early last time? ”

"Now there is an extra princess and daughter-in-law, this princess has to be offered, just look at the virtue of the eldest princess of Changqing! Alas, there will be a day of your sin. ”

Han Xing raised his willow eyebrows, and his eyes were slightly condensed. Hmph, this Mrs. Bi really dares to say anything, as if Princess Jian is angry with the eldest sister...... And even she was scolded by her!

Han Xing's cheeks were so angry that her cheeks bulged, if it weren't for the fact that this was Wuyang's territory, she would rush in now and reason with Mrs. Bi.

Han Xing tugged at Wuyang's sleeve, meaning, Sister Huanghuang, you can't be too cheap for this Mrs. Bi!

Wuyang patted her hand, signaling her to be restless, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

At this time, Bi's faint voice came from the other side of the curtain: "Mother, do you know why I let you and your younger siblings in?" ”

Mrs. Bi let out an arrogant chuckle, and asked instead of answering: "Concubine, if you want to replace Aranna's sister Zhu of our family, the palace must have something to say, right?" ”

There was a hint of grace in her tone.

There was silence in the room, and then Bi's unhurried voice sounded again: "I'll let you in...... It's to beat you out. ”

"Come on, beat the two of them out!"

Bi Shiyun said lightly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Wuyang was about to carry her skirt into the house, but when she heard this, her steps stopped again.

Han Xing and Duanmu Fei also stopped and exchanged glances again.

This time, they guessed the beginning, apparently not the process and the end.

Wuyang quietly looked at the curtain leading to the east room, and when the wind blew, the curtain made a rustling sound.

Mrs. Bi behind the curtain was so angry that her face turned pale, and she stood up on the ground, raised her hand and pointed to Bi on the Luohan bed, her fingers trembled slightly, "You...... You ......"

Second Mrs. Bi Liu hurriedly gave her mother-in-law a good breath and said on the side: "Auntie, how can you talk to your mother like this!" ”

Mrs. Bi breathed a sigh of relief, gritted her teeth and said, "Bi Wanyan, I am your elder, is this how you speak to your elders?" ”

"You're going to kick me out?! You are not a filial daughter, aren't you afraid of being poked in the back?! ”

Mrs. Bi's emotions became more and more agitated, and her voice was trilling, so sharp that it almost toppled the roof.

The widowed Bi is still dressed very elegantly, without a hairpin ring, and her cheeks are thin, but her eyes are calmer than before, in addition to a trace of sadness that cannot be dissolved, there is also more tenacity.

"Mother can do whatever she wants, go to the clan to complain, or go outside to make trouble...... Bi Shi looked at Mrs. Bi steadily, slowly twisting the Buddhist beads in her hand, and her voice did not fluctuate at all, "Or, how about letting the prince take a leave of absence?" ”

“……”

“……”

Mrs. Bi and Mrs. Liu were dumbfounded, and their faces became even more ugly.

The Bi family is now a concubine, and Jun Ji is dead, who can divorce her?! Unless she has fornicated with someone and has been caught, even the emperor and queen can't get rid of her for no reason!

Four mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists rushed in, still holding boards in their hands, and approached Mrs. Bi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a fierce attitude, with a smile on their faces.

Bi stopped the Buddha beads in his hand and raised his hand to Mrs. Bi and Liu.

This time, she gave only one word:

"Hit!"

She has endured her family for a long time, and she didn't want to make trouble when she took care of the prince's funeral, so that the prince would not be at peace underground.

There's no need to put up with it now.

I let them into the house today just to have a good time.

In the future, the Bi family will dare to step into this door again and fight again!

The concubine let go, of course the four mothers-in-law were not polite, besides, they, the descendants of the palace, had long seen that the Bi family was not pleasing to the eye, and every time they came to the mansion, there was no good thing.

The mother-in-law waved the board in their hands high and hit it directly.

"Smack!"

The sound of a thick board hitting the flesh is solid, one against the back, one on the hips, and one against the shoulder......

Mrs. Bi and Mrs. Liu cried out in pain, and the cries of "ah" and "oops" came and went.

Mrs. Bi's grandmother hurriedly went to protect her master, and she was also beaten several times, Mrs. Bi was so angry that the top of her head was about to smoke, and scolded: "Okay, you Bi Wanyan, I will tell my uncle when I go back, I have to let ...... Oops! ”

"Smack, smack, slap......"

There are several boards of sticks brought down, and they are not merciful at all, and the bigger and heavier they are.

Liu scurried with his head in his hands, and shouted bitterly: "Mother, I...... Let's go...... Oops! ”

In the east room, chickens and dogs jumped.

Under the eaves outside, Han Xing leaned forward and backwards with a smile.

Wuyang also smiled at the corner of his lips, and said in a low voice: "Fourth Emperor Sister, Scarlet Sister, let's go." With that, she turned around, apparently not going into the house.

Han Xing was confused, she originally wanted to go in and watch the excitement.

Duanmu smiled clearly, grabbed Hanxing's arm and walked back.

In fact, Wuyang deliberately went to Xinfangtang for this trip, just because he was worried that the concubine would suffer.

Since the concubine can't suffer a loss, Wuyang naturally doesn't have to do much, it is better to let the concubine stand up for power, so as not to let those people outside who have no sense of proportion come to King Jian's mansion to shout again, thinking that they can guide the country.

In the screams of the bi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Duanmu Fei and the three of them left Xinfangtang and returned to the courtyard of Wuyang.

Qingfeng, the palace maid of Wuyang, has always been capable, and immediately greeted her with a smile and asked Wuyang if she wanted to set up a meal.

Wuyang made a gesture and motioned for Qingfeng to go and set up the meal, and said apologetically: "Fourth Emperor Sister, Sister Scarlet, the food here in this palace is light, and I can only wronged you today." ”

Her words were not kind words, Jian Wangfu had to keep filial piety for Jun Ji for three years, and he had to be vegetarian and not drink alcohol for these three years.

Han Xing smiled playfully, "Sister Huanghuang, you're welcome." The palace knows that the queen mother sent the royal kitchen to you as a dowry, and the royal kitchen has always been good at vegetarian food. She said and turned her head to Duanmu Fei and said, "Sister Scarlet, you must try, Wang Yuchu's craftsmanship can make vegetarian food meaty." ”

Duanmu Fei believes this sentence, she used to be a vegetarian all year round because of her poor health, and when she entered the palace to visit Wuyang, she often ate the dishes made by the royal chef, and the craft of making vegetarian food is indeed a must.

She said with a smile: "I have heard that this royal chef has a good dish, called 'Luohan cuisine', or a monk taught him when he was young, take daylily, fungus, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, tofu and other eighteen kinds of dried and fresh vegetables, meaning eighteen Arhats, fresh and fragrant ......."

While chatting about vegetarian dishes, they entered the table, and just as they picked up the chopsticks, a maid came panting and said, "Your Highness, the prince is back." ”

Jun Ran is back.

So, the chopsticks they had just lifted were put down again, planning to wait for Junran to come over and eat together.

It's not just the gentleman who came, but there was another familiar and upright figure:

"Vera!"

Feng Yan walked towards Duanmu Fei in three steps and two steps, his steps were brisk, his phoenix eyes were scorching, and he couldn't see anyone else in his eyes at all.

Han Xing silently looked at Wuyang and Junran, and then at Feng Yan and Duanmu Fei silently, and suddenly felt that he was redundant, and said in his heart: I knew that she had brought Cousin You here.

Jun Ran shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "It just so happens that Ah Yan and I haven't had lunch yet." ”

The last time Duanmu Fei saw Jun Ran, it was the day of Wuyang's wedding, and he glanced at the groom official from a distance, although Jun Ran was wearing a red groom robe, he couldn't hide the haggard and tired between his descriptions, and he didn't see him for half a month, Jun Ran seemed to be very different from before, his air was lofty, and his spirit was flying.

The northern border is where Junran's heart is bound. Duanmufei's eyes were half-drooping, a streamer flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "It's better to come early than to come by chance." ”

Feng Yan stared at her thoughtfully, feeling that his luck today was really good.

"It's not like 'it's better to come early than to come at the right time.'" Jun Lingxi's sound of laughing and groaning came from the entrance of the courtyard, and people arrived before the sound arrived.

After three more people, the room suddenly became a lot more lively.

"Let's sit down." Wuyang greeted everyone with a smile.

Anyway, everyone was their own person, so they didn't deliberately divide the table, and sat down together, and the palace maid and the maid hurriedly added dishes and chopsticks.

In the side hall, the window sash on all sides is wide open, the sky outside is bright, the shadow of the trees and the water light are reflected in the hall, it is cool and comfortable, and the scenery is excellent.

Jun Ran naturally sat beside Wuyang, and he handed a plate of walnut crisp to Wuyang, and Wuyang took a piece of walnut crisp to eat, smiling lightly.

Seeing that Wuyang and Junran got along as well as before, and there was a touch of intimacy in the harmony that they had never had before, it was obvious that the two got along very well after getting married. Han Xing hooked his lips and smiled, and once again sighed in his heart for his father's ability to mess with mandarin ducks.

Han Xing elbowed the top Mu Fei, wanting to exchange a tacit look with her, however, Duan Mu Fei looked at her inexplicably.

The corners of Han Xing's mouth twitched, too lazy to say more to her.

"......" Duanmu continued to drink her grape juice with her eyes down.

The grape juice is sweet and sour, with a delicate aroma that does not belong to the grapes.

Duanmu pursed her lips in satisfaction, "Is there a pear added to this grape juice?" ”

"Sister Scarlet, your tongue is still so smart." Wuyang nodded with a smile.

Han Xing was also drinking grape juice, holding up the white porcelain cup in his hand and saying to Jun Ran: "Brother-in-law, you are going to leave tomorrow, right?" We can't see you off tomorrow, but today is for your eldest brother-in-law. ”

"Ah Ran, I respect you."

Feng Yan, Duanmu Fei, and Jun Lingxi also raised their glasses to Jun Ran.

Everyone drank it all in one gulp.

A faint fruity fragrance wafted through the air, and everyone looked at each other and smiled, not melancholy, only prospects.

They all knew that going to the north was Jun Ran's eagerness.

As relatives and friends, they can do as a blessing, not a hindrance.

Jun Lingxi silently looked at Jun Ran with a somewhat sharp side face, although the eldest brother didn't say much to her, saying that he would return triumphantly, and asked her to take good care of her mother and sister-in-law, but, knowing her brother like her, Jun Lingxi vaguely felt that the eldest brother was full of confidence in going to the north for this trip.

And her eldest brother has never been the kind of person who is blindly confident......

Unlike the last time her father went to the north, this time, there seemed to be a voice in her heart saying that the eldest brother would definitely return triumphantly!

As soon as the wind blew, the flowers and trees swayed, as if to echo something, and a few pale yellow osmanthus flowers were blown into the house by the wind, and fluttered and fell.

Although Jun Ran was about to set out on the expedition, King Jian's mansion was not depressed at all, but full of vitality.

On this day, when it was almost time for Shen in the afternoon, Feng Yan, Duanmu Fei and Han Xing said goodbye.

Han Xing went back to the palace directly in the Zhulun car, and Feng Yan took the initiative to ask Ying to send Duanmu Fei back to his house, and by the way, he got into the carriage of Duanmu's family.

At this hour, the streets of the capital are full of people, and the horseman can only slow down and drive unhurriedly on the streets of the capital.

The street is noisy and shouting, not only are there many passers-by, but also Jinyi guards wearing flying fish robes and embroidered spring knives can be seen patrolling the streets from time to time.

When these ordinary people saw Jinyiwei, they pointed at them one by one, and avoided them.

"Why are there so many brocade guards on the street recently!"

"Don't you know? Dongchang just arrested a vote not long ago, and I heard that torture was also inflicted. ”

"There must be another accident in the court! Anyway, it's none of our little people's business. ”

“……”

From time to time, the chatters of passers-by came into the carriage, and Duanmu Fei opened the curtains and glanced out, his eyes shining with a glimmer.

Zhang Zishu and others were arrested and taken to Dongchang, Duanmu Fei also heard Duanmu Xian roughly mention it, and he was able to understand the reason why Feng Yan and Cen Yin suddenly changed their plans.

Duanmufei lowered the curtains again, and the light in the carriage dimmed a little.

Duanmu's eyes drooped slightly, and her long and thick eyelashes left a faint shadow on Ruyu's cheeks, and her expression was a little complicated.

Now it's just that the emperor is "seriously ill", and there are so many people who are restless and jumping up and down.

If the dynasty is really changed at this time and the new emperor ascends the throne, Dasheng is afraid that there will be chaos in the country.

The turmoil between the imperial court, the military and the people is by no means something that can be solved overnight, and it is impossible to send out the forbidden army to reinforce the northern border in the shortest possible time, and once the Northern Yan breaks through the border, the time and strength spent to recover the Central Plains and expel the barbarians will probably be immeasurable!

And the seal is ......

Duanmu Fei's eyelashes trembled slightly, although he had never asked Feng Yan, but he secretly had an intuition in his heart: with Feng Yan's character, I am afraid that he will not stay in the capital for a long time to "enjoy comfort".

Duanmu Fei subconsciously looked at Feng Yan who was sitting opposite her, just opposite Feng Yan's beautiful phoenix eyes, and his deep pupils seemed to reflect the stars in the sky.

The two looked at each other, the tip of Duanmufei's nose moved, and he smelled the familiar fragrance of Yipin incense emitted by Feng Yan's body, which was quiet and elegant, and at this moment, he mixed in a little cinnamon incense contaminated in King Jian's mansion, which made the smell on his body a little stronger, and it seemed to be mixed with something else......

Duanmufei couldn't help but lean over, wanting to smell it clearly......

"Vera?"

Feng Yan woke Duanmu Fei from his sudden abrupt wake with an inquiring voice.

Duanmu Fei came back to her senses suddenly, a little embarrassed, she casually picked up a pale yellow osmanthus flower that fell on Feng Yan's shoulder, "You have an osmanthus on your shoulder." ”

Duanmu smiled slightly, smiling like a flower.

Feng Yan's eyes brightened, looking at her smile.

There was silence in the carriage, and the sounds outside seemed distant and indistinct......

Early in the morning of August 20, Jun Ran led 3,000 forbidden troops drawn from the Shenshu camp from the capital to set out.

The group of men and horses led by Jun Ran rushed to the north as fast as possible, but the forbidden army of the 30,000 five military camps set off at the same time, led by Yuan Weigang, who temporarily acted as the governor of the five armies.

On behalf of the emperor, the celebrant gave Jun Ran the privilege of "acting cheaply", and all the wars in the north were fully responsible for King Jian Junran.

Although relying on Cen Yin's strong suppression, the 30,000 forbidden army set off smoothly, but the DPRK and China became even more turbulent because of this.

Because of their scruples about Cen Yin's methods, the courtiers did not dare to act rashly on the bright side for the time being, but in private, there were more people walking around the Chengguo Mansion and Duanmu's house, and these officials were even faintly divided into the Four Princes Party and the Great Princes Party.

Duanmu Fei has been to King Jian's Mansion since that day, and he has been closed for a few days, and most of the news about the outside is from his grandfather Duanmu Xian.

Some words Duanmu Xian can only nag at Duanmu:

"Hey, in fact, the emperor is really sick at this time!"

"Fourth girl, your grandfather and I probably won't be the first assistant of the dead country...... Thanks to your luck! ”

"Our four girls are really lucky!"

As soon as Duanmu Xian became happy, he gave Duanmu Fei a lot of good things, such as printing stones, tea, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain ornaments, and so on.

Duanmu Fei was a little speechless in his heart, feeling that his grandfather's heart was really big.

Duanmu's family is closed to guests, and it has its own tranquility, but the threshold of Cheng'en Mansion is about to be broken.

There were constant riots in the capital, and even some literati resolutely slammed into the pillar in front of the palace gate, accusing the eunuchs of monopolizing the government, reversing right and wrong, and abusing their power, which was the appearance of chaos in the country; In order to clear the monarch and correct the dynasty, it is necessary to return the political orthodoxy.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the already noisy capital became even more chaotic, as if a huge wave was rolling, and each wave was higher than the other.

In the chaos, no one noticed that Xuan Guogong, who was originally designated as "hanging by a thread" by the imperial doctor, actually recovered.

Until the old lady Chu personally made a recital, supporting the supervision of the court by the celebrant and the court.

Although the old lady Chu has rarely participated in court politics in recent years, many people are his protégés, and they don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, and the attitude of the Chu family is openly placed there, and the old reasons of those protégés have disappeared a lot.

There are also some people who are secretly ridiculing the Chu family for being "unsafe in the evening" and "flattering", on the one hand, they are still afraid of Dongchang and Cen Yin, and on the other hand, they want to mix up a share of the dragon's work, and they are still watching the situation.

No matter how turbulent the situation under the table is, on the surface, the capital is still a lot calmer, and even the brocade guards patrolling the streets have died down and collected their troops.

These changes in the capital naturally can't be hidden from the eyes and ears of Old Lady Chu and Mrs. Chu.

"Ah Yan, and Ah Zhao, these two children are really not easy!"

Old lady Chu looked at the lush grass and trees outside the window and sighed with emotion.

Mrs. Chu put down the teacup, answered, and said in a low voice: "For Dasheng, they are too bitter!" ”

In the past ten years, Feng Yan and Xue Zhao have paid and sacrificed for Dasheng, which is unimaginable to ordinary people, and the people who know best that these two children are not easy are these old guys.

The couple looked at each other, only to feel that the air was stagnant, so heavy that it was dripping.

When the wind blows, the humid air outside hits your face.

Old lady Chu raised her eyes to look at the slightly gloomy sky outside the window, and sighed, "It's going to rain again......"

Before the words fell, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and the eldest maid Shuxiang came in with the chief steward, and the chief steward said with a complicated expression: "Old lady, the third aunt and grandmother want to see you." ”

Old Lady Chu frowned, her eyes slightly gloomy.

Because Cen Yin had already taken charge of the government, the matter was over, and the old lady Chu didn't want to keep Chu Qingyu anymore, so he ordered the chief steward to dispose of Chu Qingyu, Cuisheng and Wang Yapo.

The chief steward has been with Mrs. Chu for forty years, and Mrs. Chu knows that he has always done things properly, if it was simply Chu Qingyu crying and wanting to see him, the chief steward would not have come to pay tribute.

Old Lady Chu's fingers tapped a few times on Fang Ji, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

The chief steward pursed his lips, a little bit of wanting to speak and stopped, his eyes were rolling with extremely complex emotions, some were shocked, some were not convinced, some were apprehensive, and some were hesitant.

"The old lady, the lady, the third aunt and grandmother...... She said that she had news of the third young master. As he spoke, the chief steward presented a torn rag on which a few words were written in blood.

Third Young Master?! Old Lady Chu and Mrs. Chu both had wide eyes, and the same small face appeared in their minds, delicate and lovely, with big eyes that were black and white, clear and bright.

The chief steward naturally knew the mood of the old lady and the lady, swallowed his saliva, and continued: "Third Young Master Chu Tingshu. ”

The eldest girl's younger brother Chu Tingshu, who has the same father and mother.

Chu Tingshu, whose life and death are unknown at such a young age!

As he spoke, the chief steward sent the rag in his hand in the direction of Old Lady Chu and Mrs. Chu, and a few words were written crookedly on the rag in blood-

I know Chu Tingshu's whereabouts.

The nine words were shocking on the blue and blue broken steps, and they were deeply reflected in the eyes of Old Lady Chu and Mrs. Chu.

Inside the room, there was silence.

------Off topic------

Good morning. Surprise?
