Spring is infinitely good, Wang Xi sent the best spring tea, and at the same time brought Qi Jin's words. Recently, the war has been tight, and I can't come to the Summer Palace to accompany me, so let me take good care of myself.

Concubine Zhuang was stopped by guards on the other side of the lake and was not allowed to cross the lake to the Summer Palace. Xi'er, who was passing by, saw it and came back to inform me.

"At the beginning, the emperor issued a ban, and without his permission, no one could enter or leave at will. I've moved in for so long, and the kids are so big, there's no way she doesn't know. There must be something wrong with her coming here. ”

"Master, it's better to have more than less, just let her stay on the other side of the lake."

Xi'er went to see it at noon, and Concubine Zhuang was still there.

After dinner, Xi'er went to see it again, but she didn't see Concubine Zhuang's figure.

But I didn't want to, early the next morning, Concubine Zhuang came again.

"She's also a person with children, so it's okay to run like this all the time. Xi'er, let them let them go! ”

Xi'er personally went to the shore to pick up people, Concubine Zhuang followed Xi'er to my side of the courtyard, I was making tea, as soon as she saw me, she knelt on the ground. I was so startled that I spilled all the tea in my hand.

"What are you doing here? Xi'er, help her up. ”

"No, Niangniang, the concubine came here this time to ask Niangniang, do you know about the war in the southwest?"

This Concubine Zhuang was the concubine that Qi Jin accepted when she was fighting in the southwest, and she said that there was something wrong with her hometown.

"Didn't the emperor go to the chaos in Nanxiping, I know."

"Now that the war is going on again, do you know who the boss is this time?"

War in the Southwest again?

"I don't know. You get up first, and we'll talk about it well, and kneel. Xi'er stepped forward again to help Concubine Zhuang up, but Concubine Zhuang did not sit down and continued:

"It's Niangniang's Amma, the former Prince Lin."

I froze where I was.

Ama had long been demoted to a commoner by the emperor in addition to the royal family, so how could the war in the southwest be activated now? And became the manager? Qi Jin hasn't mentioned a word about this. Seeing that I didn't speak, Concubine Zhuang continued:

"The day before yesterday, there was a battle report from the front line, Prince Lin led his troops to defend the town but was besieged by the enemy, and after breaking out of the siege, he was forced into the valley by the enemy's pursuers. The southwest is mostly the land of miasma worm valley, and so far there is no news of the boss surviving. The concubine came to the Summer Palace to tell the mother about it. ”

"Has the imperial court sent troops to rescue you?"

"The emperor intended to send troops to rescue, but he was stopped by Uncle Guo in the court."

I couldn't speak for a while. Seeing that I didn't speak, Concubine Zhuang asked me with emotion:

"What about now?"

I shook my head:

"On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and the gamble is a life and death. You're a local, but is there anything you can do to help me? I will not treat you badly! ”

As soon as she said this, Concubine Zhuang knelt down again, her eyes were red, and she cried:

"Niangniang, in this war, the leader of the enemy army is my own brother. It was precisely when I learned that the commander of our army was Amma, who was a mother, that I came to convey the news. Niangniang, the concubine's father died in the previous war, and I really don't want Niangniang to lose her Ama because of the war! ”

Her brother is the leader of the enemy army! I see, she was worried that if something happened to Amma, I would retaliate against her in the future, so she came to deliver me the news.

"You go back."

Concubine Zhuang wiped the two tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up and saluted me again:

"The concubine retired."

Sent away Concubine Zhuang, Xi'er's pretended indifference just now disappeared instantly:

"Niangniang, if it is really as Concubine Zhuang said, now that the prince's life and death are unknown, Fujin must be very anxious at this time, you have to think about it

The way is to let the emperor transfer troops to the prince! ”

When I thought of Concubine Zhuang just saying that Uncle Guo had stopped Qi Jin from rescuing me, I felt a wave of anger in my heart, and the teacup in my hand was smashed to the ground by me.

"Go to the Qianqing Palace."

As soon as the carriage stopped, I leaned out from inside and saw Qi Zhi and Qi Qi who had just come out of the Qianqing Palace. Obviously, the two of them were surprised to see me.

"Nian Huan."

"Why are you here? What about children? ”

I jumped out of the carriage and walked briskly in front of them:

"Let me just ask, is my Amma's life and death unknown now?"

Qiqi scratched his head and lowered his head, Qiqi came forward and took my arm, and said:

"Don't worry, we're trying to figure it out."

That's it. I broke free and walked quickly towards the main hall.

"Nian Huan!" Qiqi was about to catch up, and Qiori grabbed him behind him. Qiqi looked at Qiori puzzled, and Qiori looked at my back and said:

"Uncle Guo advocates defending as an offense, and does not approve of the transfer of troops to save people. If you think about it, is this really what Uncle Guo meant? Uncle Guo is the younger brother of the Queen Mother. At the beginning, it was very strange for Uncle Guo to recommend Prince Lin, who had been reduced to a commoner, to go on the expedition, but now the life and death of the commander are unknown, and Uncle Guo advocates not saving people, and the Queen Mother just wants Uncle Wang's life. We have been hiding it from her, because she is not in good health, and we don't want her to worry about it too much. Now that she already knows, it is up to her to fight for reinforcements for Uncle Wang, if she can really save it, it will be a good thing for her, the emperor and us. After all, her Ama is our imperial uncle. ”

The guards at the door stopped me from entering. I shouted at the door:

"The concubine asks to see the emperor."

The door opened, and Wang Xi welcomed me in with a smile. I strode into the main hall, and Qi Jin was sitting at the desk, reviewing the folds.

"Why are you here?"

He put down the pen in his hand, got up, and walked towards me. I pounced and knelt in front of Qi Jin:

"The concubine came to beg the emperor to transfer troops to rescue the concubine Amma."

It turned out that it was not easy to say this sentence, because before the words landed, my tears fell first. Qi Jin stopped halfway, and then walked quickly to help me. I knelt on the ground and pulled his arm, looking into his eyes with teary eyes:

"I promised you the two wishes you said before, mine will not leave you, and I will not see my second brother again. I beg only you, send troops to rescue my Amma. ”

"Things are not what you think."

"I ask you, who recommended Amma, who has been reduced to a civilian, to be the commander of this campaign? And who advocates using defense as an offense to preserve strength and not rescue the commander? As soon as the commander dies, the morale of the whole army will be weakened, and this battle will be lost without a fight, this is what they call defending as an attack? Qi Jin, don't you think it's ridiculous? ”

"I've already asked people to go to Shu to transfer troops."

"No, although Shu is very close to the southwest, Shu is mostly mountainous, and it will take a long time for reinforcements to arrive. Troops were transferred in Liangguang, and reinforcements arrived on the battlefield in only a few days. ”

"Most of the troops in Liangguang are your Ama former subordinates, if they send troops to rescue you Ama at this time, they will definitely go all out, but at the same time, they will inevitably be suspected of rebellion."

"You're also worried that Amma will rebel? If he had been against him, how could he be willing to be cut off by the emperor? Amaron horse half of his life, when the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, he didn't rebel, but at this moment, his life is hanging by a thread, and he will rebel if he is seriously injured? ”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this. If I don't tell you, I'm afraid of you. ”

"Please, save him."

"Okay."

Led by Qiqi, it was proposed to transfer troops from the two places to rescue the commander. Headed by Uncle Guo, he insisted on advocating defense as offense. The battle between the two groups of mouths above the court was fierce, Qi Jin

I was tired of listening, so I got up and brushed my sleeves away.

The Queen Mother personally came to the Qianqing Palace.

Wang Xi entered the house to report, and Qi Jin directly said that he was not there.

In the past, I didn't see Uncle Guo having such ability, but isn't the current momentum just borrowing the courage given to him by the queen mother? The queen mother came to Qianqing Palace at this time, and all she wanted to say was that she would not transfer troops to rescue her. On the one hand, he is his queen mother, on the other hand, he is his imperial uncle, or Jin'er's Amma, this choice is really difficult to make.

The Queen Mother ignored Wang Xichuan's words and forcibly entered the main hall. Qi Jin raised his head from the fold and looked at the queen mother at the door with a serious expression.

"Why did the queen mother come?"

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, and asked the grandmother behind her to put the food box on the table.

"I heard from them that the emperor has been worried about the war in the southwest for a while, and the mourning family specially asked them to make soup and jujube cakes to send to the emperor."

"Thank you for your mother's sympathy. There are still many folds to read here, please go back to the queen mother. ”

The Queen Mother smiled, turned around and walked to the door:

"The emperor is busy with government affairs, so the mourning family will not bother. It's just that the commander of the southwest war once commanded the military power of the two Guangzhous. At the beginning, the emperor cut his title because he had a rebellious heart, and the emperor should have a plan in his heart about what to do. ”

Qi Jin sneered:

"I was worried that the emperor's uncle would rebel, why did the queen mother encourage my uncle to recommend him as the coach?"

The Queen Mother hooked the corners of her mouth, and her blood-red lips opened lightly:

"Because only in this way can the mourning family get rid of him. Once he dies, his Fujin probably won't live alone. If the two of them are gone, the one in the Summer Palace will already be weak, and I am afraid that time will be running out. Killing three birds with one stone, why not mourn the family? ”

After speaking, he took the hand of the grandmother next to him and slowly walked out of the Qianqing Palace.

Qi Jin closed his eyes.

I didn't expect the queen mother to calculate like this. She hates Jin'er, and her mother-in-law who hates Jin'er has reached this point. She wanted them to die, she wanted them to die heartbroken.

"Wang Xi."

"The minions are here."

"Prince Chuanlian."

Qizhi sent news from the palace that the emperor had asked Qiqi to go directly to the barracks with the talisman, and ordered the forbidden army to go to Guangxi to transfer troops to rescue my Amma. From that day on, I knelt in front of the Buddha and prayed for Amma, just as I did many years ago when Qi Jin went to the southwest to fight.

Pray to the Buddha to bless Ama with peace and well.

Pray that the Buddha will bless Amma to be rescued smoothly.

Pray to Lord Buddha for protection, Amatta Buddha.

Every day, there are war reports into the palace, Qi Jin is very busy, and the Qianqing Palace is brightly lit.

I knelt in the Summer Palace, and when I knelt and knelt, I really ushered in a Buddha, and the Queen Mother came.

Qi Jin once ordered that no one should trespass on the Summer Palace without his permission. When the Queen Mother Shi Shiran came ashore and Shi Shiran walked towards me, it was obvious that the Queen Mother was not included in Qi Jin's "anyone".

I led all the people in the Summer Palace to kneel on the ground and say goodbye:

"The concubine sees the queen mother."

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, the queen mother, who specially made butterfly cakes for me, is no longer polite, even ruthless. I greeted her, and she walked slowly in front of me, raising her hand to slap me. The force was so great that I fell to the ground in an instant. The tinnitus was fanned out by her, and her face was also hot and painful. I subconsciously touched my face, but her hand snatched my sight. The hand that hit me just now still has gold nails on its ring finger and little finger! She looked at her golden nails, and gave her hand to the grandmother beside her with slight disgust, and the grandmother carefully took it off for her and wiped it with a handkerchief.

There was blood on the handkerchief.

I also have blood on my hands.
