Li Fuguo was naturally extremely disappointed, knelt down three times and apologized for his sin.

In the brocade box, it was just a string of valuable pearls, the arrow feathers that were easy to cause trouble, Shen Pearl had already gone to Daming Palace and passed through the East China Sea Pool, and threw it into the pond.

Li Jiao's fingers brushed her neck, numb, slightly itchy, after so many days, the wound had already healed, leaving only a shallow red mark, and said: "I am worried all the way, how do I know that you will play tricks on people!" ”

At this time, everyone dispersed, the residual leaves outside the hall fell with the wind, and the inner room was warm with charcoal. He stared at her with a smile, just like the day Feng Xiang left, as if he had never left her, five years of husband and wife, forever today; She is so opposite to him, heaven and earth are eternal, only this day.

Shen Pearl suddenly burst into tears. She turned her head sideways in a panic and covered it with her sleeve, Li Li grabbed her sleeve and gently hugged her into her arms. A familiar and warm breath came all over the sky, and she suddenly wanted to cry, he would never know, and she only understood herself at this time—she loved him so much, loved and persistent, embedded in life.

He'll never know.

"I'm grieving you again." He sighed in her ear under his breath. Shen Pearl touched the back of his shoulder, although he still felt thin through the thick brocade robe, he looked up at his face carefully, only in front of her, he would not hide his exhaustion and hard work.

She slowly reached out and touched his forehead, eyebrows, and cheeks, and chuckled with tears: "Why have you lost so much weight?" His eyes turned red, "How many days have I not closed my eyes, and my official business is so busy?" Rushing back from Luoyang in such a hurry, it's a matter of death—"

Before he could finish speaking, his lips had fallen. Gentle and soft, her breath seeped into his, and her tears, as long as a century, and as short as a snap of a finger, and made people intoxicated and forgetful.

She helped him to sit down on the couch and said, "Rest, whatever happens, and talk about it tomorrow-" He got up to call the palace maid to bring the toiletry, but he held her hand and refused to let go, looked at her, and stopped talking.

Shen Zhu's heart was slightly sour, he wanted to explain, every move in the palace was in his ears and eyes, she already knew about the porcelain, he must have known. However, this kind of thing, it is difficult for him to open his mouth, what kind of explanation, it is like an excuse to shirk, she really wants to force him to tell the situation of the day one by one?

Is it a drunken gaffe, or is it mistaken for someone else?

The truth, she didn't want to know anymore. Life is already so difficult and bumpy, why should she embarrass herself and him?

He was beside her, affectionate, and that was enough.

She wrung a towel, wiped the dust off his face, and said gently, "Sleep, I'll accompany you." Her face was gentle and pleasant, and the hot towel was applied to her face, which was indescribably comfortable and reassuring.

After changing a towel, and then trying to wrap it for him, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned - he leaned on the soft pillow on the bed, closed his eyes, and was already asleep.

The next day coincided with the mid-year holiday, Li Jiao did not have to go to court, he had something on his mind, although he fell asleep hastily under the sleepiness yesterday, he woke up very early the next day. The palace lamp was confused, Shen Pearl slept on her side, her eyelashes were slender, she was still shaking slightly in her sleep, her brows were slightly wrinkled, as if she was meditating hard, and it was obvious that she was not sleeping peacefully. Li Jiao was both pity and guilty, and secretly held her slender hand from the quilt, but listened to her scream of "ah-", and was full of excitement, and sat up from the couch, panting.

She was caught in a nightmare, Li Jiao supported her body, comforted again and again, she sweated profusely, and covered her chest for a long time before she calmed down. said: "I actually dreamed that someone was trying to murder Shi'er! ”

Li Jiao hugged her lightly and said, "It's to blame that I'm always not by your side." But as long as I am here, who can bully your mother and son again. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your body, otherwise you and I will travel the world one day, and your health will not be good, but you can't. ”

Shen Pearl was overjoyed: "The rebels are going to be defeated on all fronts, and the war is going to stop?" ”

Li Jiao said: "Although it won't stop the chaos immediately, it's not far off." An Qingxu's lost dog, now hiding in Tibet, will be able to be captured, the rebel generals have defected, even Yan Zhuang, Shi Siming and other arrogant and invincible people, but also know the current affairs for Junjie, belong to my Tang family, General Guo Ziyi has recovered Heyang, Hanoi, clean up the war, but it is only a matter of the past two years. ”

Shen Pearl spat and said: "What is the use of descending to the Qin and Twilight Chu disciples!" ”

Li Jiao said: "The generals in the army hate these two very much, but my father's worries are also reasonable, if the generals are killed, I am afraid that no one will surrender in the future." Changing the topic, he continued: "When the world is stable, no matter what, I will take time out to accompany you to travel all over the three mountains and five mountains to fulfill your wish." ”

Shen Pearl lowered her head and said, "I'm afraid that at that time, you will be busier—"

Li Jiao smiled firmly, "What else can be busier than peace." He shook her hand again and said, "Definitely." ”

Shen Pearl then asked him why he was in such a hurry to come back yesterday.

Li Jiao said: "Mo Yan sobs the ears and eyes in my Tang Room, could it be that I can't set up eyes and ears beside him?" If I can, can't Concubine Zhang Shu? He always has an upright temperament, thinking that the assassination of Concubine Shu is foolproof, but he didn't know that the news had already leaked, and Concubine Shu insisted on changing chariots with Pei Zhaoyi to avoid this murder. I only learned the news early yesterday morning, and whether the assassination was successful or not, I was afraid that it would affect you, so I hurried back. With that, he looked at her with a smile.

His few words sounded plain, but Shen Pearl only felt thrilling, and the twists and turns in the middle were really difficult to dispel. said in a low voice: "Why did Mo Yansi assassinate Concubine Shuniang? Kill her, what good is it for Yu Huifu? ”

Li Jiao snorted coldly and said: "He wants to blame you and me, and he assassinated his father and the emperor last time to provoke his father and me. ”

Shen Pearl blurted out: "No! Mo Yan Sip will not do this! ”

Li Jiao was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You can trust him." ”

Shen Pearl consciously lost his words, seeing that he looked at himself thoughtfully, although he didn't say anything, there was always a suspicion that Dou Zhu was in it. There was a slight annoyance in his heart, but he still said unhurriedly: "If he insists on blaming you and me, why don't you send someone to hide the murder weapon in Shujing Hall after shooting Pei Zhaoyi, why do you need to send the murder weapon directly to me, so that I have the opportunity to destroy the evidence?" ”

Li Jiao said: "That's because he missed something, but he didn't expect you to be so alert." ”

Shen Pearl thought secretly, this matter made Li Jiao seem that Mo Yansi really couldn't get rid of the suspicion of blame. The biggest question in the whole thing is how Zhang Shufei and Li Fuguo determined that there must be a murder weapon in the brocade box.

There can only be two reasons.

First, Mo Yansi deliberately blamed her, and after sending the brocade box to her, she sent someone to inform Concubine Shu. But who is the person who reported to Concubine Zhang Shu? Can Concubine Zhang Shufei be convinced and insist on searching the brocade box? And once this matter is successful, she Shen Pearl will fall into a place of no return, Mo Yansi will really do this? She recalled the hesitation in Mo Yan's voice when he left that night, could it be that he couldn't make a decision because of this matter?

Second, it was Mo Yan who sipped the murder weapon in the brocade box with her and was found by the person who was installed by Zhang Shufei in Shujing Palace, and when she traveled to Daming Palace, he reported to Zhang Shufei. If this is the case, the person who was installed by Concubine Zhang must be close to her, and she did not accompany her to Daming Palace yesterday. Lenovo saw Dugujing hurriedly enter Concubine Zhang Shufei's dormitory yesterday, could it be that Dugujing connected with this person?

It's messed up, it's all messed up! The only thing that can be determined is that in this Shujing Palace, there are both Mo Yan's henchmen and Zhang Shufei's ears and eyes. This puzzle, for a few days, she seemed to be within reach, but it was difficult to see in the mirror. Shen Pearl was in a hurry, her qi and blood surged, and her chest ached faintly.

Li Jiao didn't notice it, seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, pondering and meditating, thinking that she was a little annoyed by her words, so she gently comforted: "Don't think about it anymore, I will consult with Mr. Li Mi and then ask Feng Shengyi to investigate, and I will definitely be able to find out the truth." ”

As he was talking, the waiter outside shouted: "Your Majesty Zhao Guangping King is here!" ”

Li Jiao had to get up and dress neatly, and when he finally went out, he suddenly remembered something and said to Shen Zhuzhu: "I'm just afraid that there will be guests visiting today." ”

Shen Pearl was a little strange and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Li Li smiled, "You will know when you come, but you are an old friend." ”

Shen Pearl saw him walking outside, hurried a few steps, and called his name.

Li Jiao looked back, she approached slowly, and said to him in a very low and soft voice: "I don't blame you for the matter of plain porcelain. You go see her first, and ...... Child, let's go again......" Li Jiao looked up in amazement, as if relieved, a smile floated at the corner of his mouth, his hand stroked her sideburns, as smooth as black jade, as if he wanted to say something, and finally held his hand again and looked at her deeply.

At that time, it was very early, and when Li Jiao was sent away, Shen Pearl still felt discomfort in her chest, and lay down to rest.

In the past two years, her body has been too depleted, and she has tried her best to support it during this time, until Li Jiao comes back, the heavy load in her heart is removed, and her will is loose, so she can't help but be a little unable to support it.

After this sleep, I don't know how long I fell asleep. Someone stroked her hair in the haze, and the warm breath floated on her face, she thought it was still late at night, and subconsciously pushed to the side, and then suddenly woke up.

Li Jiao was close in front of him, and when he saw that she was awake, he smiled. Shen Pearl looked at it, this smile was very reluctant, obviously there was great unhappiness and gloom hidden behind, and asked, "What did my father say?" ”

Li Jiao helped her up and said, "What can you say, but teach me a lesson for the robbery of Luoyang." The mouth was faint, and the eyebrows were knotted.

After lunch together, the waiter handed over the name sticker: "There are guests visiting outside the palace." ”

This light purple sticker is quite exquisitely made, Li Jiao didn't open it to see, the corners of his mouth turned into a smile, and said to Shen Zhuzhu: "The guest has arrived, go and welcome the guest." Shen Pearl was puzzled: "Who is it?" While cutting off her hand to get the sticker, Li Jiao moved her hand, she pounced into the air, and saw Li Jiao's expression narrow: "Go out and know!" ”

Shen Pearl glanced at him with disgust, and walked to the hall with him one after the other.

The sound of broken boots came from outside the hall, and Shen Pearl listened to it and felt strange - which general walked so carefully and cautiously in leather boots? is Li Wan, although her temperament has improved in recent years, she still walks like a man.

People have arrived at the door of the main hall, only to see a light smoke like light purple in the distance, a gust of wind passed, blowing the purple cloak like a wind flag, but the person who came was arrogant, and walked towards Shen Pearl and Li Jiao.

She was dressed in soft armor, and her clothes were all lilac on the inside of the soak, and she did not wear a helmet, imitating a man's hair in a bun, which made her delicate face even more charming and heroic. Walking into the hall step by step, as if the moon was passing by, not only the slender Tingting in the hall, the female officials and palace maids who were good at winning were all overshadowed, but even the beauty of Shen Pearl seemed to be incomparable.

At this moment, the hall was extremely quiet, and all the attendants, female officials, palace maids, and grandmothers present unconsciously held their breath, and their eyes were all led by the people who came. She approached step by step, in fact, she was close to everyone, and everyone felt that this woman was far away from the world, and she did not dare to be abrupt, and her beauty was unique in the world.

Shen Pearl was only afraid that her eyes would see the flowers, and after a while, Zifang was surprised and shouted: "Sister Hanruo?!" ”

Zhang Hanruo just smiled: "Sister Shen, don't you want us to meet again." After finishing speaking, he said to Li Jiao: "Your Highness is well! He didn't look up at Li Jiao while speaking, and when he finished speaking, for some reason, his cheeks turned red.

Shen Pearl took Zhang Hanruo's hand, looked up and down, and exclaimed: "In the past, I only heard that the eldest princess of Pingyang was brilliant in the world when Emperor Gaozu was in the world, and she was not inferior to Taizong in terms of literary talent and martial arts. How can I think that I am fortunate today, sister, you are radiant and heroic, which really makes me envious. ”

Zhang Hanruo was shy: "Princess Pingyang helped Emperor Gaozu to kill the Yellow Dragon and set the world, so far the lady Guan Hehe is still famous, where do I dare to compare with the princess, sister, you really make fun of people." ”

"General Zhang helped my Tang family break through Luoyang this time, and his merits are better than many men." Li Jiao interjected on the side.

"General?" Shen Pearl was a little surprised, "You call Sister Han Ruo a general?" ”

Li Jiao patted Shen Pearl on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it, my father has already issued an edict to enshrine Miss Zhang as a general from the fourth grade, isn't it a dignified female general!" ”

Since Zhang Hanruo led the rest of the troops to break out of Chang'an last year, he was ambushed in the suburbs of Chang'an at the beginning, and then, the generals of Zhang Shouqi's original department in Youzhou learned the news and eagerly welcomed Zhang Hanruo back to Youzhou, reorganized his troops and horses, and swore revenge for the enemy of An Lushan's father and son. Because Zhang Hanruo was the only one left in the Zhang family, they embraced Zhang Hanruo as the commander together. **The news of the attack on Liangjing came from Xizuo, and all the generals felt that this was a godsend, Zhang Hanruo personally led the troops to Luoyang, only to wait for the two armies to fight and profit from it, and obtain the head of An Qingxu to avenge his father and brother.

Zhang Hanruo's army had just arrived at Xindian near Luoyang, and Fang Yin was stationed in secret, and Li Jiao also arrived. That night, Li Jiao only led a few close guards to Zhang Hanruo's camp in person, and the two of them talked about it, Zhang Hanruo actually tried his best to disagree with the public, and decided to surrender to Luoyang and besiege Luoyang.

Upon learning the news of the attack on Luoyang, Anqing Xuhe had more than 150,000 troops in Luoyang, with Yan Zhuang as the commander to resist. **Fight with the rebels in Xindian, because the rebels are familiar with the terrain and set up a formation in the mountains,**The initial battle was unfavorable, and even Li Chengyin was seriously injured by random arrows.

At this time, Zhang Hanruo sent his subordinate generals Lin Hong and Ye Huhe to lead the troops and horses, and attacked the back of the rebels from Nanshan. "The army was in turmoil, was attacked from the front and back, and fled in defeat.

During this process, the process was very complicated, and Li Jiao only picked up the important things and told Shen Pearl to listen, so he naturally couldn't help but praise Zhang Hanruo greatly. Shen Pearl heard it roughly, but she was a little puzzled about how Zhang Hanruo was born so easily to vote for the Tang Dynasty, that day she and Zhang Hanruo were separated in the suburbs of Chang'an, Zhang Hanruo's words are still in my ears: "My Zhang family used to be anti-Tang, today is anti-Yan, and now I go to the Tang Dynasty again, and it is impermanent, nothing more than this." I'd rather be a coward than do such a thing!" ”

Zhang Hanruo completely reversed his oath that day. Shen Pearl has been with her for a long time, which is really not like the way she has always come to do things.

Li Jiao seemed to be very familiar with her, and spoke casually, "I heard that my father intends to accept you as a righteous daughter recently?" ”

Zhang Hanruo replied in a low but resolute voice: "I have rejected the emperor. ”

Shen Pearl was quite surprised, and accepted another righteous daughter? looked at Zhang Hanruo - her expression was even more ashamed after she answered, she didn't dare to look up at Li Jiao, and when she saw Shen Pearl looking at her, she hurriedly picked up a cup of tea on the side of the seat and sent it to her mouth, her face was flushed like coloring, not like the original appearance of being generous.

Shen Pearl chuckled in her heart, and suddenly understood.

Li Li didn't seem to pay attention to the expressions of the two women, and still said jokingly: "That's a pity." Otherwise, I will have another princess of Pingyang. ”

Shen Pearl diverted the topic and said angrily: "It turns out that my sister arrived in Chang'an a few days ago, and she only came to see me today!" ”

Zhang Hanruo relaxed a little, put down the teacup, and replied calmly: "This is indeed the little sister's, although my original subordinates are generous and generous, and I am personally in charge, I also have to practice discipline from time to time, and I must not lose face for Your Majesty." Fortunately, after a few days, they all have a system. ”

Shen Pearl said with a smile: "Men will keep saying that the Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home?" Do you also want to learn to be a female Wei Qing and Huo Quai? ”

Zhang Hanruo said with a straight face: "My sister is right, if you don't slash An Qingxu for a day, my little sister and I will not leave the barracks for a day." He also said: "Actually, I came today, and there is one more thing - sister, do you still remember Miss Xue Hongxian?" ”

"Hongxian?!" Although the name is long gone, it is enough to surprise people. Shen Pearl stood up and asked, "Where is she?" She also came to Chang'an? ”

Zhang Hanruo nodded and smiled: "It's her who has something to look for you, I can enter and leave the palace with the emperor's permission, but she can't, she said that she will wait for you in the western suburbs today." ”
