The dark red fluffy blanket was stained with a lot of snow slag that had been shaken off of Celine's body.

She looked up with a solemn expression that had never been seen before.

"Your Highness....... The person sent to the capital to deliver the letter has just returned and has not received any reply. ”

Gu Fuwei's expression was as usual, because he had already expected it, and in terms of time, something must have gone wrong.

He picked a piece of hibiscus cake and fed it to his mouth.

"Why didn't you send the letter back?"

"Because...... Because...... The people at the Pharmacy are dead. ”

"Dead?" Gu Yueze rarely showed surprise.

As if disappointed, he threw the pastry he had just fed back to the plate and pushed it far away with his hands.

Miscellaneous thoughts flashed through my mind.

Such as. The appearance of worrying all day long.

For example, since the person from the Pillin Pharmacy died, there was no need to wait for a reply, but why did it take so long to bring the news back?

For example, how should this matter be explained to Lizhan next.......

Things are a bit unbelievable, and they are extremely tricky and difficult to handle because of the relationship between the separation.

Gu Fuwei stood up and paced in front of the collapse.

"Why did you die?"

"Back to Your Highness, according to the people and horses we turned back, the rebellion in the capital was too dead and wounded, and after the burning of the capital came to an end, the people begged for an explanation. The crown prince is dead, and the Bai family is destroyed......"

Gu Fuwei pinched the conversation, "So, the emperor began to investigate the matter of thoroughness?" ”

"As Your Highness expected. The emperor has been investigating for more than half a month, imprisoned half of the criminal department, involved officials, arrested the old and young of the Lin family, and even King Duan was implicated in prison. I don't know how the case was resolved, but in the end, most of the people who were investigated were released, but the people from the Pillium were arrested and imprisoned......."

Speaking of this, Xilin's eyes flickered, and she seemed to think of the care she had for Zhanlin Pharmacy since she left Zhan all the way.

"And then?"

Celine stared, "After that, a notice was posted, claiming that the prince and the divorced daughter had already colluded, and after the prince was placed under house arrest, some officials of the Criminal Department were in cahoots with Lizhan and revealed the death of the prince to Lizhan. Lizhan quietly passed the letter to the rebels in Liangfeng'ao outside the capital as a last ditch. ”

"Zhan Zhan, someone sold it."

Celine bowed her head, "As soon as the notice was posted, the whole city was in an uproar and indignant, and soon, more than a dozen officials of the Criminal Department and everyone from the Zhanlin Pharmacy were all sat down, beheaded in front of the mass grave, and burned the corpses to vent the anger of the people. And the girl is not in Beijing, but she has been ordered to be wanted......."

Gu Fuwei froze his steps, and the flame of the oil lamp stopped shaking.

In the room, it was so quiet that only the sound of Gu Fuwei's breathing was left.

His fists tightened unconsciously, his back straightened, and a long silhouette was reflected on the door.

Seeing that Gu Fuwei didn't speak for a long time, Xi Lin's heart hung up.

After kneeling for almost half a pillar of incense, the kneecaps were a little numb, and Gu Fuwei asked.

"What is the situation between the DPRK and China now?"

"The DPRK-China forces have reshuffled. Lin Youqian exposed the prince's merit and replaced Xu Yuanzhi as the secretary of the criminal department, while Xu Yuanzhi replaced Zhong Pei and went to Dali Temple to serve as the secretary of Dali Temple. The dog emperor suffered the betrayal of his own son, and experienced great changes in the capital, and seemed to be overworked, sick in bed, and made Duanwang the crown prince. As for who betrayed the girl, our people did not find out. ”

Gu Fuwei lifted his lips and sneered, "What is there to investigate, there are only a few people who know about it." Lizhan was convicted, and King Duan and Lin Youqian were not only not implicated, but they were also knighted and promoted, and there must be a cat among them. ”

"What does Your Highness mean...... Is it Duanwang and Lin Youqian? ”

Gu Fuwei raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.

Celine pondered: "This matter is not trivial, and no matter how much trouble it will bring to Miss Li, even His Highness's plan is ......."

"The royal brother is really cunning. Gyeonggi's vitality was greatly damaged, and he was afraid that I would concentrate my forces to break through the Zhutang and go directly north, so he broke the most important son in my chessboard. With that, he turned around and turned his back to Sirin, "How long ago was Lizhan convicted?" ”

"As soon as the Zhanlin Pharmacy was beheaded, our men and horses rushed back around the clock, and it took fifteen days on the road."

"Fifteen days .......," Gu Fuwei looked thoughtfully at the white candle licked by the flames on the bronze candlestick, and rolled down on the table. Edicts and proclamations were distributed from the capital, all the way to the west, city to city. In addition, the snow is unfavorable and the road is blocked, and it can be transmitted to the Western Regions in about 50 days. Fifty minus fifteen, that is, there is only a month left, and Qi Shui will receive the edict and notice. ”

Xi Lin's expression became more and more nervous, "When the edict arrives, His Highness can't hide this matter if he wants to." I wonder what His Highness plans to do? Receiving orders, or ......."

Those two rebellious words, Celine didn't dare to say it directly.

Gu Fuwei shook his head and laughed helplessly.

"Brother Huang is such a powerful character, no wonder my father can't fight him, and he was forced to come to the Western Regions where birds don't. I set him a plan, and he gave me a plan. And this plan is really vicious enough. ”

"What should I do if this is called this king?" Gu Fuwei took a chopstick and straightened the burnt wick.

"If you accept the order, then you have to give the cup out, without the Heavenly Maiden, how many days can the Western Regions be peaceful? If I pretend to be deaf and dumb, and do not admit that the Heavenly Maiden is the culprit of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and delay the time, then the emperor can directly say that I am resistant. By the time the two armies fought, I was an apocryphal and had no advantage in reputation. Even if you delay the time and hoard enough soldiers and horses, but there is a way that 'those who lose the way are helpless', and when you want to fight, 'people' is the key, don't say that it is difficult for the side that loses the hearts of the people to win, even if the king wins, it is not justifiable. The country is easy to attack and difficult to defend, how long can a king who is not justified sleep in peace? ”

In that case, isn't it just a knife to stretch out the head, a knife to shrink the head, and the word "death" is just a word for both horizontal and vertical?

Celine's eyes were empty, thinking of a solution, but she really couldn't think of anything.

She just sighed stupidly, complaining about God's injustice.

In contrast, Gu Fuwei's face was only solemn, but there was no trace of deflatment.

He stood in the middle of the room, his shadow outlined unusually tall by the candlelight, he never seemed to fall, fell into the flood, and was also a mainstay of Zheng Zheng.

He heard Celine sigh secretly and said, "What this king means is not a question of whether he will accept the order or not. Rather, if we count the time we have to raise our troops, it will be only thirty-five days. There can be no civil strife during these 35 days. The plague must be brought under control, otherwise the tribes with evil intentions will rebel when the time comes. ”

Gu Fuwei looked at the stack of papers pressed under the pillow jade, "Tomorrow, let Governor Qi Shui come to Xuanji Hall early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes."

"Also, General Mohan has also come with him, and the king will immediately consult with him about the unification of the army."

"Yes."

"Go down."

Xi Lin stood up, bowed down and pushed towards the door, his heels had just touched the threshold, and suddenly heard Gu Fuwei say, "By the way, the news of Zhanlin Pharmacy, it is estimated that it won't be long before Zhan Zhan will knock on the side and ask you." Just say that the person who sent the letter is not your subordinate, and you don't know anything. ”

"Subordinates obey orders......."

Cyrin opened the door and went out, closed the door again, and jumped on the Rui Beast of the Xuanji Hall on her tiptoes.

The Xuanji Palace is very high, standing on the eaves corner and looking out, you can cross the heavy palace walls, and just see the Ziling Palace.

I heard that Lizhan lives in Ziling Palace.

It's just that she doesn't know if she knows, in addition to the first princess, the Ziling Palace also lived in the previous celestial maiden.

But Cyrin thought that nine times out of ten she only knew the former.

Because she knew the former, she would probably think that His Highness treated her very well.

But once you know the latter, with the wisdom of Lizhan, you may be more or less associated.

And His Highness probably won't let her think about it much. Because this is a chess piece that cannot be mistaken, although after this night, the fate of this chess piece is already in jeopardy, but as long as she is still useful, His Highness will hold her firmly in his hand.

......The night wind howls like a ghost, from north to south, and from east to west, blowing more and more sober.

Those snow-white goose feathers were blown out of order by it, fluttering in the air, scraping on people's faces like knives, and even breathing became unsmooth.

Ciline silently estimated in her heart that in two days, the big cold would come.

The Western Regions is about to usher in the coldest day, and I don't know if the girl from the original can still adapt.
