Chapter 60: Wishful Thinking
An Shuang was late, and it didn't take long for the holy decree to come down.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: The middle palace is immoral, and I have no owner in the six palaces, so I ordered the concubine of Chuxiu Palace to temporarily take the matter of the six palaces, and she is the same as the deputy queen."
Concubine Li obviously didn't expect the emperor to let her temporarily take the harem, so she was overjoyed and accepted the order and thanked her.
The queen on the other side also received a holy decree.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Queen Nala, the mandate of heaven is not blessed, flashy, cruel to the emperor's heir, Ming Fan court, how can you respect the temple of Chengzong, the mother of the world? I remember the old grace, the Nala clan is placed in the Baoning Palace, and it is impossible to come out unless it dies, and now it is necessary to retrieve the holy decree, treasure seal, treasure book, and Qin after I have established it. ”
After Li Sheng handed over the holy decree to the queen, he was ordered to take back the holy decree, the treasure seal and the treasure book.
The queen knelt on the ground, opened the decree and looked at it again, and finally the tears could not stop flowing.
"Princess Creek has arrived." In a trance, when the queen heard the eunuch say that Princess Xi had arrived, she turned her head in disbelief and found that Su Xi was looking at her indifferently.
"Xi'er, have you come to see the queen mother?" The queen stood up and smiled and said to Su Xi, "Come, the queen mother hugs." ”
said that he was about to hug Su Xi, but was avoided by Su Xi.
"Xi'er?" The queen looked at the princess Xi who had been under Chenghuan's knees with tears in her eyes, but now she refused with a face.
Su Xi looked at the woman in front of her indifferently, she was still pretending to be like this.
"Princess Ben came today to see how you fell, to see if you have been punished for killing my mother."
The queen was in tears, she couldn't believe that Su Xi would say such a thing to her.
"Queen Mother, did you see those people coming to you in your midnight dream?"
Su Xi cried out in pain, and the heart-rending sound penetrated the queen's eardrums.
"Xi'er, why don't you believe that the queen mother is in trouble?" The queen held Su Xi's hand tightly, trying to make her believe in herself.
Su Xi turned her head and shed tears without looking at the queen, and when the queen saw her like this, she said to herself.
"Your mother and concubine Li entered the palace and won the holy favor, but the emperor fell in love with your mother at first sight, and loved it in every way, at that time, it was rumored in the palace that your mother was about to threaten the position of the palace, of course, the palace did not allow anyone to threaten the palace, so the palace took advantage of her pregnancy when she was pregnant again, and mixed the food that was unfavorable to the pregnant woman into her food, and sure enough, after she gave birth to the child, she died."
The queen said dementedly, although Su Xi knew that it was the queen who killed her mother, but now that she heard what had happened, her eyes widened in shock.
"You madman, you don't hesitate to kill my mother for your own interests, you are really a vicious woman."
The queen sitting on the ground grinned, Su Xi couldn't bear to see her like this after all, closed her eyes, and slowly said: "Queen Mother, this is the last time I call you Queen Mother, you will come to this Baoning Palace for the rest of your life to repent of your mistakes!" You will be punished, you will. ”
After Su Xi said this, she ran away, she had never said such vicious words, and she had never been so sad as she was today.
An Shuangchi's talisman was taken away, and he was also idle, and he could still go out to find Mo Qingrou, she had never been far away, and she was not familiar with life, where would she go?
An Shuangchi rummaged around the capital but there was still no shadow of Mo Qing, which made him even more convinced that she had left the city.
So he began to search for each house in a small village not far from the capital.
Zhang Liangyu followed behind him for fear that he would find Mo Qingrou, and when An Shuangchi decided to go to Mo Qingrou's farm, he was urgently summoned back by the emperor, and Zhang Liangyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If you continue to look for it according to An Shuangchi, I believe that Mo Qingrou will be found out by An Shuangchi in just two days.
He had to think of a way, and he must not let An Shuangchi find Mo Qingrou.
An Shuangchi was summoned back by the emperor, and at this time he was standing in the imperial study, in front of the emperor with a gloomy face.
"An Qing, I came to you today because Zhungar frequently came to attack, causing the people in the north to complain, so I asked you to surrender them."
If it weren't for the repeated invasion of their people, he really didn't want to return the talisman he had just arrived to An Shuangchi.
"Wechen takes orders." An Shuangchi is no longer interested in the right of this talisman, and all he thinks about now is that woman-Mo Qingrou.
An Shuangchi received the order, and as soon as he came out of the Lama Palace, he saw Xiao Luzi leading the three princes towards this side.
Obviously, the third prince also saw him: "Uncle Ruler." ”
The third prince rushed towards An Shuangchi, "Uncle Ruler, are you also here to find your father?" ”
"yes." An Shuangchi squatted down and looked at the third prince and said to him, "Yu'er has to be obedient, do you know?" ”
"Uncle Ruler, are you going to war again?"
An Shuangchi smiled: "Yes." ”
"Then, Uncle Ruler, you must return safely, do you know?"
An Shuangchi pinched the face of the third prince: "Okay." ”
On the second day, An Shuangchi left the capital under the eyes of everyone, Concubine Li was on the high city tower, watching her younger brother leave her step by step, she couldn't help but feel sad secretly, if she could, she would rather her brother be an idle gentleman than a general who goes to the battlefield all day, but she can't be so selfish to put the lives of the people in the fire.
An Shuangchi's army marched all the way to a forest, and Zhang Liangyu next to him pleaded: "General, we have been here for four hours, why don't we rest here!" ”
An Shuangchi watched that it was getting late, and presumably the soldiers were also tired, so he agreed to Zhang Liangyu's request.
"Rest in place."
Zhang Liangyu took the water and dry food he carried with him, and secretly walked to the back of the army while An Shuang was not paying attention.
He saw a young general leaning against a tree, so he looked around, and when he saw that no one was looking at him, he walked over to the young general.
"Gently, give it, eat some dry food!" It turned out that this young general was Mo Qing, and she heard that An Shuangchi and they were going to go on an expedition, so she pretended to be a guy and mixed in the army, so no one in this army knew that she was a woman except Zhang Liangyu.
"Brother Zhang, you can eat it too!" Mo Qingrou saw Zhang Liangyu looking at her stupidly, broke a piece of dry food and handed it to Zhang Liangyu.
Zhang Liangyu was excited with the dry food given by Mo Qingrou, "Okay, good." ”
"Gentle, you go with us to the camp first, and I'll find you a place to stay when you get there."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Zhang." Mo gently thanked Zhang Liangyu from the bottom of his heart, since he left the General's Mansion, he has been taking care of himself, and this kindness cannot be repaid.
An Shuangchi suddenly remembered that he had something to say to Zhang Liangyu, so he searched around and didn't find Zhang Liangyu, he walked to the back of the army step by step, and found that he was eating dry food under a tree.
"Zhang Liangyu." An Shuang didn't walk over again and called him.
Mo lightly held the water in his hand, in order not to attract An Shuangchi's attention, he hurriedly lowered his head, Zhang Liangyu saw her action, and hurriedly stood up to block her behind.
"General An, what are you looking for your subordinates?"
Zhang Liangyu was afraid that An Shuangchi would come over, so he ran to An Shuangchi.
"Who's that guy?" An Shuangchi glanced at Mo Qingrou's direction and said to Zhang Liangyu.
Zhang Liangyu had no choice but to tell a lie: "That's the new guy, homesick, and his subordinates comforted him." ”
"Really?" An Shuangchi obviously didn't believe Zhang Liangyu's words, and raised his leg to walk in the direction where Mo Qingrou was, but Zhang Liangyu stood in front of him.
"General, I don't know what you're looking for your subordinates for?"
Zhang Liangyu's unnaturalness aroused An Shuangchi's suspicions, so he tried to ask: "Do you know where Mo Qingrou is?" ”
An Shuangchi's words made Zhang Liangyu slightly taken aback, he didn't expect An Shuangchi to doubt himself so quickly, and secretly sweated in his heart.
"General, my subordinates haven't seen her since the last time they separated from the gentle girl in the palace."
"Really?" An Shuangchi looked at Zhang Liangyu suspiciously.
Zhang Liangyu nodded, clenched his fists and said sincerely: "Subordinates never tell lies. ”
"It is very good, that I should go down and rest here tonight, and we will go tomorrow at dawn."
"No."
When An Shuangchi was leaving, he glanced at the new guy over there.
Mo was sweating nervously there, she didn't know how to face An Shuangchi, and she didn't know whether to continue to have thoughts about him.
She wouldn't meet him until all this unknown thing was thought through.
Early in the morning, An Shuangchi ordered to continue advancing, and they did not rest until they reached the barracks.
At night, Zhang Liangyu arranged Mo Qingrou in an inn in a small town and let her settle down here first.
After saying goodbye to Zhang Liangyu, Mo gently asked Xiao Er to boil some hot water, she hadn't taken a bath for so many days, and her body was about to stink to death, and only then did she realize the hardships of An Shuangchi.
Soon, the shopkeeper put the hot water in front of her room, she poured the hot water into the wooden bucket, she took off her clothes and shoes and socks to find that both feet were blistered.
She quickly took a quick shower, and then used the silver needle she carried with her to pick up the bubbles one by one, and after applying some medicine, she lay on the bed and looked at the bed curtain.
She thought, if An Shuangchi found out that she was here, what kind of expression would he have, happy? Angry or surprised?
Now she has to admit that she, a thirty-year-old aunt, really likes An Shuangchi, an eighteen-year-old little fresh meat.
She couldn't believe it and couldn't admit that it was true, if all this was just wishful thinking on her part, then she would rather never appear in front of An Shuangchi again.
Thinking like this, she fell asleep, and An Shuangchi, who was in the barracks at this time, knew that Mo Qingrou was by her side, and he was still studying the map of tomorrow's battle.
