She heard this with a mouthful of rice in her throat.

Although she has the brains of the 21st century and does not believe in any "definite theory of fate" at all, it is irrefutable that the second half of his sentence is indeed very convincing.

Yes, she can be saved for a while, but what about later? There are only two fates that follow her, one is called the palace maid, and since then she has changed from a woman living freely outside the plug to a caged bird.

This kind of thing is already difficult for her to accept, not to mention that even if the other party accepts this way of life, there may be other changes in the future, such as making which master unhappy, which prince has looked at a few more times, and making the nobleman unhappy, and she may be buried in that huge palace city at any time.

She doesn't want to interfere in other people's lives.

As if seeing that she had figured it out, Bailihe touched her head: "This so-called weakness, in this barbarian land where no grass grows, is originally a burden, no matter what it is." ”

As soon as the word "burden" came out, Qin Mengyu's eyes suddenly dimmed again, and thousands of thoughts flashed in her mind in an instant, but they seemed to be empty in an instant.

"What are you thinking?" He asked.

Qin Mengyu thought about it, and finally raised her head: "Uncle Huang, will I also be a burden to you?"

She is stupid and lazy, and there is nothing she can do to help, every time she gets into trouble without knowing it, she finally asks him to help end it, and she was injured and sick before, which made him worry about himself for so long in vain.

Bai Lihe looked at her, the meaning in his eyes was unclear, and he didn't know how long it took, and finally smiled: "Silly girl, you will never be a burden to the emperor's uncle." ”

Hearing this, she didn't distinguish the truth from the other party's words at all, she only felt like a big stone falling to the ground, and she only had sweetness in her heart, and she didn't think about anything else at all.

Looking at her smirk, Bai Lihe couldn't help but smile, and patted her shoulder instead: "You have a good rest, Uncle Huang has gone to deal with official business." ”

She raised her head and smiled sweetly: "Uncle Huang, let's go, pay attention to rest!" ”

Bailihe nodded: "Okay." ”

Turning to leave, Bailihe went around to the room where he was resting, and did not rush to pick up the pen and paper on the table, but walked to the window to take a look, and it was a coincidence that at this time the carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and landed, skillfully on his arm.

He stretched out his fingers and stroked the snow-white head, and instead stuffed the note he had prepared into the letter box on the pigeon's feet.

This letter was written to Jingli's confidants, and it stands to reason that this letter should have been sent half a month earlier, but it was chosen at this time in order to prevent others from being suspicious.

After all, although they are outside the capital, their identities remain the same, and it is still very necessary to understand what has happened in the capital recently.

The moment the letter was sent, the carrier pigeon flew to the imperial city north of this place with his stomach full of questions.

And in his imperial city, he is staging a drama that is more exciting than the script.

The emperor is still sitting on a high position, wearing a yellow robe, looking like a diligent government who is worried about the country and the people, but in fact, he is thinking about the true whereabouts of his own Huang brother and Bailihe in his heart.

He already had a plan in his heart - as soon as he came back, he would use the third princess's illness as the reason to question Bai Lihe, and then take the opportunity to condemn him, so that he could not get up once and for all, and he would be bright.

However, he waited left and right for so long, but he still did not see Bailihe's return, and there was not even a decent message, which could not help but make the plan churning in his mind more and more hot, and more and more anxious.

"Your Majesty, at this time, the new tea in the west, you drink to moisten your throat." The chief eunuch held a cup of tea and put it in front of him with a smile.

However, he only glanced at the teacup, and the anxiety in his heart instantly occupied the high ground, and he stretched out his hand and put the teacup on the ground, and the fine celadon teacup instantly turned into fragments all over the ground.

"What kind of tea from the west, don't you know that this is not good?!" He shouted loudly.

The chief eunuch had served him for so many years, so he naturally knew that he was worried about something in his heart, and deliberately found fault with him. However, even though he was very clear in his heart, on the surface, he still pretended to be frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, it is the fault of the old slave." ”

The emperor snorted coldly: "You are all the same, on the surface, you are obedient to me, but in fact, you don't know what to plan in your heart. ”

When these words came out, the old eunuch instantly understood that he must be fighting with Bailihe.

As soon as this idea came to him, he heard the emperor stand up appropriately, first walked a few steps anxiously, and then swept the things on the table to the bottom again: "What is he going to do in the Western Regions!" ”

The old eunuch couldn't help but sigh, and sure enough.

Although their majesty has been on the throne for several years, it seems that they still have not broken free from the panic of the original struggle for the throne, and they are suspicious all day long, whether it is to the ministers or the people close to them.

Therefore, the people of the court are all trembling, walking on thin ice, and they dare not go out of the atmosphere every day, for fear of provoking this rebel, and if they are unhappy, they will directly order to be beheaded.

Therefore, in this dynasty, the folk comments are all "too harsh". However, this prince seems to be an exception, he was very uninhibited in the early years, never restrained in doing things, and he has been fighting abroad all the year round, which is quite popular with the military.

If only that's it, but he still has something that can be completely matched with His Majesty, which makes His Majesty quite jealous from the day he ascended the throne, and it can even be said that he can't wait to monitor him all the time.

This is the legendary mentality of carrying treasures.

However, this prince still doesn't eat this set, not only does he still act in the same style, but he also makes people unable to make mistakes.

So the two have maintained a superficial relationship until now.

However, now, the emperor finally couldn't hold it anymore, and he turned his head and ordered: "Now go and send a few squires, I want them to draft an edict to recall Bailihe!" ”

The old eunuch looked at the deep sky outside the window and hesitated: "Your Majesty, now?"

"Now, go and pass it on right away!" The Emperor roared.

"Yes, yes, the minion will go right away." With that, he left the hall with a crawl.

The surroundings that instantly cooled down made the emperor sit on the dragon chair again, gritting his teeth: "Bailihe, I will never let you take away this country!" ”

In the following half night, several important ministers have been in front of the emperor to draft this so-called recall letter.

However, although he thought that he had kept it as secret as possible, while the news was being told to the important ministers, in the uninhabited corner of the palace, there was such an inconspicuous pigeon fluttering its wings, and successfully carried the secret over the palace wall and into the vast night.

The other side.

It was early in the morning when he received the letter, and he had just gotten up and was about to wash up when he heard a fluttering sound outside the window.

The little guy outside the door also seemed to hear a noise, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, do you need a little one to come close to serve?" ”

Bai Lihe opened the window and saw that the carrier pigeon flew in again last night, and he instantly understood it and hurriedly refused: "No need, this king still wants to rest for a while." ”

"Yes," the little guy replied respectfully.

He looked around and saw that no one was watching, and then he opened the window again, and then he was relieved to take out the note on the pigeon's feet and unfold it.

However, at first glance, he couldn't help frowning.

The emperor is in full swing looking for someone to write a recall letter, intending to lure her back and subdue him in one fell swoop?

He couldn't help but sneer at the contents of the letter.

"It seems that even after all these years, you still don't worry about me." He looked up at somewhere outside the window, not knowing whether to say it to the emperor on the other side of the imperial city, or to himself.

"That's fine."

He closed his eyes, his mind full of shadows. He really didn't have much idea about this position, but he couldn't bear the repeated suspicions of this suspicious majesty.

If this matter had been placed in the past when he led his troops to fight, it would have been chosen at this time.

Since the other party has made such a decision, he must not be slaughtered by others!

Thinking so, he walked very simply to the table, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, hung his wrist in the air and paused, and then dropped his thoughts on the long piece of letterhead.

Since the people in the Imperial City were ready to lay a net on himself, he couldn't just fly in by himself so stupidly. However, the original strength on hand was withdrawn by the emperor by various means not long ago, and if he wanted to resist with brute force at this time, he was afraid that it would be difficult to determine whether he would win or lose.

"But if I start anew......" he thought as he wrote down his plan to reorganize his own forces.

In his plan, his whereabouts this time were uncertain, so he could simply pretend that he had not received the edict at all, and wait for his forces to be prepared from the capital to the border fortress before reacting.

Of course, this news was not only to say to his confidants, but also to pass the news to the emperor, first to shock and panic, and then make other plans.

When the note was finished, he stuffed it into the letter with his own hands, then released the pigeon and watched it leave with his plan.

But at the same time, his real plan is about to begin.

The carriage swayed, Qing Ning helped Qin Mengyu take care of his hair, the closer he got to the Western Regions, the drier the climate became, Qin Mengyu touched the place where the skin was raised, and he was distressed in his heart, why was it like this.

"What's wrong with the county lord? You always sigh, don't hold back to say something. Qing Ning tilted her head and looked at her touching her face and immediately woke up, "Is the county lord worried about his face?" Don't worry, the fourth prince will definitely find a way to heal, isn't this on the way to the Western Regions. ”

Another sigh, where is she worried about this, the scar will definitely be good, she has confidence in the fourth prince, and the words that the fourth prince said before sounded in her mind, she is still valuable, and he will spoil it.
