In the darkened room without light, silence spreads like night, like a thread, pervasive, and so quiet that one can't help but think of despair or other negative things.

I don't know how long it took, and a mournful sigh sounded low.

"Loved it...... You've never said anything like that to me. ”

"If you hadn't said goodbye, maybe one day I would have said to you, but it's not possible now." Wen Moqing didn't know if his tone was cruel, but in his opinion, it was the most indifferent he could show. Got up and left the bed, the soft and warm fragrance was also far away, Wen Moqing was finally willing to light the oil lamp, and cut off the lamp that exploded at the top: "You want to come to Dayuan as the envoy of the Hosdu Kingdom to plot against you, I will continue to deal with you, if it is to renew the old relationship as yourself, then please go back, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore." ”

Helian Ming laughed miserably: "The four words are difficult to collect when covered with water, only those who have experienced it personally will understand the sourness." ”

"No matter how difficult it is, it's your own choice."

The flame of the oil lamp flickered, illuminating the long and faint figure of warm ink on the wall, which seemed to be real and illusory, like his firm word and sentence, and it was difficult to distinguish the real from the false. Helian Mingyan didn't get close to him again, sat at the head of the bed and lowered his head slightly: "If you really like her, why are you still hiding your intentions and refusing to show it?" ”

"I didn't have time." Wen Moqing played with the small scissors that cut the lantern flowers, and her tone was casual and lazy, "I didn't realize I liked her until you came in, can't you?" ”

"Okay or not, who am I to interfere with? I just don't want to see you talking nonsense, after all, she is the second prince's person, and it will inevitably cause a storm when it spreads. Xu was because Wen Moqing didn't answer very seriously, Helian Ming vaguely had some hope, and Qingli's cheeks returned to healthy blood.

Wen Moqing sneered: "Miss Helian knows a lot about others, am I angry or serious, who is the person who is worried, these things that we can't be sure of seem to be very sure." ”

"Am I wrong?" Helian Mingyuan exhaled deeply, and restrained her depressed expression, "The words that Li Wei said just now are obvious enough, she only has the second prince in her heart, no matter whether your so-called liking is true or not, it is impossible to change her mind at all." After so many years in the Yuan Kingdom, I have some reliable people who can bring useful news, and it is not difficult to find out the relationship between Liwei and the second prince, so why do you lie to me? ”

"What is the relationship between the two of them, and what does it have to do with me? Who does she like and what does it matter to me? Furthermore, who I like and dislike, it has nothing to do with you. Raising his hand to open the door, Wen Mo said coldly, "I'm not interested in reminding you of our respective identities over and over again, I will treat you as if I haven't seen you tonight, if I have the opportunity to see you in court." ”

The taste of being ordered to be evicted is not pleasant, let alone Helian Ming's annihilation of a woman? Walking to the door with some grievances, Helian Ming turned back without giving up: "I will stay in Dayuan for a while on this mission, I hope to have the opportunity to make up for the mistakes I have made, as long as you speak, I will definitely try my best to do it." ”

There was no answer, no touched face, only the door slammed shut, cold and merciless.

Helian Ming laughed bitterly at herself, then sighed silently, turned around and walked out of the quiet courtyard sprinkled with moonlight, there were already anxious men outside, and hurriedly ushered in: "It's calculated, there were guards patrolling just now, and I was scared into a cold sweat!" ”

"It's hard work, cousin Salang, let's go back." Helian Ming smiled faintly, still looking graceful as usual.

"Well, does that kid have any repentance? At the banquet, I saw that he always bowed his head and refused to look at you, did he rack his brains there and try to chase you back? Helian Ming walked in front, and Salang, who was a cousin, followed closely behind, excitedly asking one sentence after another.

Helian Ming was helpless, and his tone was three points melancholy: "Did my cousin forget again?" It's because I have a negative feeling, even if I regret not being at the beginning, it should be me. In the past, my assassination of the previous Yuan Emperor was concealed, and the current Yuan Huang should not know that I have known Mo Qing and Liwu for a long time, and he avoided me and pretended not to take it for granted, even if I wanted to find him, I could only sneak around like this, only cousin, you would talk to yourself there, and make up your thoughts. ”

"But it's not right, how can anyone in this world reject you? Unless he's not a man. Salang pouted, but at the age of thirty and two, he looked more naïve than a child.

After all, a foreign country is someone else's territory, who knows if there is someone hiding and eavesdropping in the shadows? Helian Ming shook his head and motioned for Helang to go back to his residence, and Salang also obediently shut his mouth, but after walking less than twenty steps, he couldn't stop talking too much.

"Qiluo, the second uncle asked you to avoid Wen Moqing as much as possible, but you took the initiative to come to him, how should I explain to the second uncle? Tell the truth? Second uncle, he, I'm most afraid that you and that man will break off the thread and affect the business, so I have repeatedly explained to me many times before I came, but I patted my chest and promised, but now I ......"

"Cousin, now that it's been a matter of time, do you think it's possible for me and Moqing to continue their relationship? He just said to me that he likes to leave worries, maybe it's not just as simple as angry words. Helian Mingyan's tone was slightly complaining, but it suddenly turned into a sad sigh, "At the moment of the great cause of the family and country, I will never delay the personal relationship of my children, I came to Moqing just to see if he is doing well, and I want to find an opportunity to say sorry to him, if Huo Sidu and Yuanguo confronted the day of the Beacon Smoke, my first identity is still the daughter of Mugeta's family, not Helian Mingyan, the daughter of the traveling merchant who fell in love with him that year." ”

Helian Mingyan's firm tone finally put Salang at ease, stretched under the moonlight, and suddenly looked curious: "Qiluo, do you think there will really be a war between our Hosdu and the Yuan Kingdom?" Now that the two countries are starting to communicate with each other, this is a good sign for the establishment of alliances and diplomatic relations, right? ”

When it comes to state affairs, Helian Mingyan's expression is no longer as complicated as just now: "Now that Brother Baishan has succeeded to the throne and is in control, he grew up with us, and my cousin should understand his ambitions." Many years ago, when the Yuan Kingdom was at its strongest, it invaded six cities in succession, and still refused to admit the evil deeds and return the territory, and there are more than 100,000 people scattered in the Yuan Kingdom, and they are oppressed by less food and clothing. In a few days, I will choose an appropriate time to ask Emperor Yuan to return the territory and subjects, if Emperor Yuan refuses, it is probably impossible to form a friendly alliance. ”

Salang shrunk his neck, shivered for no reason, lowered his eyebrows and muttered: "It's been more than a hundred years, are those clansmen still willing to return to Hosdu?" If there is a real war, I don't know how many clansmen will die in battle, how worthless it is! ”

"The fallen leaves return to their roots, and the soul returns to their hometown." Helian Ming looked up at the quiet bright moon with a solemn expression.

No matter what the cost is, the struggle must continue, and only by returning to the homeland can the soul rest in peace - this is the unchanging belief of the Khosdu people for thousands of years, and it is also the words often on the lips of the new emperor who has just succeeded to the throne, and it is also very likely to ignite the flames of war.

As for the ending, people living at this time don't want to think too much about it.

※※※

The visit of the five countries is a major event that shakes the government and the opposition, and it is natural that there will be a formal meeting between the government and the opposition after the reception banquet. Due to the excessive drinking and excitement and indulgence of the night before, Wen Jingyuan's face did not look very good, and when he talked with the envoys of the five countries, he listened a lot and said little, and many things were discussed by Zuo Chenglian, who was rarely on the road in front of him.

After the useless greetings and gifts, the content of the six-party conversation finally came to a topic of practical significance, and the first to mention the marriage was the Fox Hill Kingdom, and the envoy was Yan Beixuan, who was the Prince of the Fox Hill Country Rong.

"I have heard that the country of Yuan is rich and profound, and under the prosperity of the long period of peace, it is even more outstanding and talented, Xiao Wang came to pay tribute to His Majesty Emperor Yuan on behalf of the Fox Hill Country, but also to bear the trust of my king, and want to find a wishful Langjun for the princess of Caining in the Yuan Kingdom, I don't know if His Majesty the Yuan Emperor can have good talents around him who are willing to favor and pity?"

Yan Beixuan is not very old, about twenty-eight or nineteen years old, his appearance is not handsome, but he also has good facial features, dignified appearance, and has the strong body of a martial artist, but his speech and demeanor are not rude at all, which makes people feel close at a glance.

Wen Jingyuan saw that he spoke neatly and spoke sincerely, and he also had a little appreciation in his heart, and nodded slowly after exchanging colors with Lian Song: "The Fox Hill Country and my Dayuan had contacts in the early years, the first emperor traveled to various countries when he was young and stayed in the Fox Hill for a short time, and after returning to China, he often talked about the beautiful scenery and simple folk customs of the Fox Hill Country. I think about the situation of the prince, I can also hear a little, I inherited the last emperor's order to take on the social Ji has not yet been established, and I do not have a son and a half daughter under my knees, but I have succeeded the nine princes of the first emperor, four of these nine princes have not married the main family, if they do not object, I am naturally willing to become an adult, and marry the two countries Qin and Jin. ”

Wen Moshu and Wen Mozheng were both in the palace at that time, and when they heard Wen Jingyuan's words, they knew that the first wave of inquiries was coming, so they couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.

The Fox Hill country has a long history, and it was once a powerful country in Zhongzhou, and it is by no means inferior to the Yuan country in terms of cultural heritage, but the kings of the previous dynasties were mediocre, so that corrupt officials were rampant, and the people's livelihood withered. However, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and if you want to compare it with Nanqing and Duo, Fox Hill still has a solid advantage, whether it is in terms of national strength and military, or in robbing sons-in-law.

Seeing that Yan Beixuan was one step ahead, Prince Nanqing showed a little urgency, and hurriedly stepped forward: "It's the same situation with our Nanqing, my sister is almost twenty years old, and I haven't found the master yet, please consider it together!" ”

Yan Beixuan spoke respectfully and politely, while Prince Nanqing was reckless and vulgar and reckless, and he immediately saw the high and low in comparison. Hearing this completely different resignation, not only the officials of the court, but even the envoys from the other three countries who came to meet him couldn't help but laugh secretly, but Prince Nanqing still didn't know why, and waited for Wen Jingyuan's reply with peace of mind.

Nanqingguo's face was smeared with a large black by this prince who said that he was stupid and stupid, and when he was being ridiculed by everyone in the palace and waiting to see a good show, suddenly a person walked out from behind Prince Nanqing, bowed deeply and saluted: "Your Royal Highness is straightforward by nature, not good at words, please forgive His Majesty Emperor Yuan and all the adults for the rudeness, and the concubine will apologize to you on behalf of His Royal Highness." ”

No matter how bad it is, it is also the status of a dignified prince, who is so bold that he dares to apologize on his behalf? Hearing that the man called himself a "concubine", everyone who was surprised looked at the past, only to find that the person in the simple attendant costume had a round face and smart eyes, and it turned out to be a woman!
