He told me a lot about the carriage, saying how he came to Zixu upside down, and observed the people's situation in Zixu for a few days, and he also felt that the people of Zixu were simple and simple, and it was a good place to live. I also told him that he was chased and killed all the way, and was rescued by the prince after nine deaths. I asked him how he recognized me in the main hall that day, and he smiled and said that it was the first time he saw me in the hall, and he was a little hesitant at first, but when the minister later mentioned that the Nanxiang family was ruined, I broke the strings, and he was sure of it.

Fate is a really strange thing, sometimes it is decided that a person only needs one glance, really only one glance.

The journey went well, and we stopped the carriage and went to a pantry to ask for a bowl of herbal tea, only to hear a group of people talking about something at the table next to us.

The man drinking the tea said: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Yi has been missing for more than half a year, and no one knows where he went. ”

Another man said: "Legend has it that I went to Zixu to find that princess, hey, I haven't come back for so long, I probably don't know that the sky is going to change now." ”

"Yes, it's better to save more silver taels to prevent future troubles."

As soon as the words fell, we didn't calm down, only to see several Tianyue soldiers carrying big knives at their waists, running towards the pantry with a fierce attitude. Xiao Er threw the white cloth strip on his shoulder, greeted him with a smile, and said enthusiastically, "The official wants to drink tea?" ”

"What to drink, Captain Pontus is on official duty." Then he opened the portrait in his hand and asked, "Have you seen this person?" ”

We don't know why the soldier is looking for people everywhere with the portrait of Chu Muxiu, so in order not to be discovered, we had to cleverly pick up a pile of loess and wipe it on our faces, and then lower our heads and pretend that we don't know anything.

Xiao Er scratched the back of his head, thought about it again and again, and then looked at the boss with his eyebrows, as if he had gotten some hint, and smiled and complimented, "There are so many guests coming and going in our small pantry every day, and the small one really can't remember." ”

The soldier who took the lead glared at Xiao Er impatiently, put away the portrait and walked over to the table next to us, also held up the portrait, and asked, "Have you ever seen this person?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, and the leading soldiers slowly walked towards us, the wind gradually blew away the portrait in the man's hand, and also blew away the loess on our faces, and the man's eyes stayed on Chu Muxiu's body, as if all kinds of spearheads were pointing at us unscrupulously. I hardly dared to gasp for breath, just quietly listened to the sound of my breathing, every time he got closer, we were one step closer to danger, Chu Muxiu suddenly put his hand on my slightly trembling palm, and his eyes seemed to say that there was nothing to be afraid of with him.

I really believed in him.

The man had already arrived, and Qian Che had already pressed his hand to his waist and was ready to draw his sword to meet the enemy at any moment.

"Oh, sir, the little one suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen this person the day before yesterday, he got off the luxurious carriage, and he knew that his bearing was extraordinary by looking at his dress, and the dragon and phoenix among people were by no means ordinary people."

The soldier who took the lead asked, "Then does he still have a woman with him?"

The boss was shocked and stammered, "Yes, yes, with a girl." ”

"Did you see them going in that direction?"

The boss pointed to the outskirts of the mountains not far away: "I went to the outskirts of the city." ”

"Brothers, go to the outskirts of the city!"

After the man left, I was relieved, and my originally tight hand finally dared to open, I turned my head to look at Chu Muxiu, there were crystal clear beads of sweat on his forehead, and it was impossible to say that he was not afraid, but he didn't want to show it excessively, and he didn't want me to worry.

We thanked the boss, who looked at me several times and said, "The girl may not remember, but thanks to the silver ingots you left that day saved the life of our mother-in-law, the grace of the dripping water should be reciprocated." ”

It occurred to me that I did pass by the pantry on the day I went to the border, and it was probably that there were so many things that happened recently that I could barely remember.

Sure enough, people are the best when they first meet.

Tianyue's pursuers had already found this pantry, and it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, so we got into the carriage and left quickly.

After walking a long way, we stopped the carriage, and Chu Muxiu handed Qian Che under the big tree, "Qian Che, you take a fast horse, hurry back to Tianyue, and inquire about what happened in the city, and what changes have been made in the palace." ”

"Yes!" Qian Che rode on a fast horse, and disappeared after a while.

I always feel that being serious is the most terrifying thing for a person, because in my opinion, if it is not a fatal thing, it will make Chu Muxiu so nervous. Now that Chu Muxiu is outside the city, he has been ordered to be wanted, I don't know that he has died without a place to be buried before he enters the gate of Huancheng, and I don't know why I vaguely feel that the road ahead is dark, like a blind man touching a lamp, and I can't see any light.

Still, we sped up the trip. Qianche is always gone, and finally on the third day we received Qianche's flying pigeon biography, the letter involuntarily confessed that His Royal Highness King Yi interfered with Tianyue and Zixu's harmony, cholera government, without regard to the friendly relations between the two countries, but also the lives of the entire Tianyue people as a child's play, not considering the inevitable war after the defeat of the family, if this time alone back to Tianyue will also be stopped, if you take me is a capital crime, and the queen has been abolished into the cold palace, and now the harem is the Zhou concubine, Your Majesty is mediocre and listens to the demagoguery of the traitor villain next to him, and then there is the Queen Mother's single-minded compulsion, and now Chu Muxiu and I have become the pursuers of Huancheng.

Qian Che risked his life to send us a letter back but he was nowhere to be seen, and now there are people who want us everywhere, I feel a little uneasy, so I asked, "Qian Che must have encountered something wrong, right?" ”

Chu Muxiu patted me on the shoulder and said gently, "Don't worry, Qianche's martial arts are good, I also have some connections in Huancheng, and the Yulin Army knows Qianche, and he will definitely not embarrass him." ”

I turned to look at Mo'er and signaled her not to worry, she didn't cry like before, maybe she heard what Chu Muxiu said just now, or maybe she was far stronger than I imagined

I never thought that one day I would become a weapon for others to threaten him, and the abolition of the queen was almost expected by everyone, and that unattractive relationship eventually turned into a tragedy. At first, I hated the queen in my heart, especially when she lied unchanging in the court, when I knew that she had given me a deadly puppet incense. But when I knew her current situation, I didn't have the physical and mental pleasure I imagined, but felt very sad, maybe my impression of her in my heart had long faded, I don't know if I have changed or the world has changed.

Qianche didn't come back for a day, we had more worries in our hearts, Mo'er didn't say it, in fact, I could see that she was the most anxious one, she just felt that the situation was chaotic enough now, each of us was nervous, she just didn't want to add trouble to us. I want to go back to Huancheng as soon as possible but I'm afraid, Huancheng is a sad place for me, where every thing or even a leaf will evoke memories of me crying, it took me nearly half a year to gradually come out of the haze, but I never thought that one day I would raise my head to face it.

Our days are not easy, and the queen's days are not peaceful. In the past, the queen was arrogant and arrogant and bluffing, which inevitably offended many people in the palace, but now she has lost power but there is not even a single person to visit her. Let the palace maid send the decision letter of request to return to Xiliang to His Majesty one after another, but he never waited for a response, and His Majesty was annoyed why the queen wanted to return to Xiliang, which was in ruins.

Although down, but after all, she is the former queen, and she has the dictation of His Majesty, although the palace maid and eunuch sometimes have broken thoughts, but they are still a little respectful, and they deliver meals on time every day.

The palace maid was carrying a rice basket, and as soon as she walked into the door of the cold palace, she called loudly, "Send the food, send the food!" ”

The green pothos hurriedly ran out and walked in with the rice, looked at the queen with dull eyes, and then looked at the hot dish on the plate than before, so she pretended to be happy and shouted to the queen, "Niangniang, it must be Your Majesty who still remembers that today is your birthday, so there is one more hot dish today, Your Majesty still has a mother in her heart!" ”

The queen couldn't open her face, and the pale and weak her was projected in the mirror, she was godless, "Time flies so fast, it's my birthday again." ”

The pothos said while taking out the contents of the plate: "Yes, yes, come and eat, it's still hot!" ”

The queen was finally a little relieved, after all, today was her birthday, and she was already twenty years old no matter what. In Xiliang, a woman at the age of twenty is already a serious adult, perhaps already a mother of two children. The queen picked up a mouthful of rice and put it in her mouth, her face, which had just improved a little, suddenly darkened, and the green pothos felt that something was wrong, so she immediately picked up a mouthful of rice and put it in her mouth, her face changed suddenly, and she walked out quickly and scolded the palace maid who delivered the rice, "Bold, you dare to take a rancid meal for our mother to eat!" ”

The palace maid said sly: "Niangniang? Now you still think that the Kunning Palace here, you still think that it is the queen's mother, please see clearly that this is the cold palace, your mother has been abolished! ”

Lu Luo was unconvinced: "What nonsense are you talking about, my mother is only in temporary trouble, Your Majesty will naturally welcome my mother back to the palace after figuring it out."

"Who doesn't know that Zhou Guifei is favored now, and if time comes, maybe His Majesty will canonize Zhou Guifei as soon as he is in a good mood......"

"Pound!"

Before the palace maid finished speaking, the queen couldn't bear it anymore, and threw the dinner plate out heavily, just smashing it at the feet of the palace maid, only to see that the palace maid couldn't help but hide back, and didn't dare to say a word.

"Yo, who is so bold to upset my sister?" Zhou Guifei seemed to be waiting for this good show, and she was walking over delicately and leisurely taking advantage of this opportunity.

The queen in the house glanced out of the door, just smiled contemptuously, not only laughing at her but also laughing at herself, Zhou Guifei is still the same Zhou Guifei, but she is not the original self for a long time, recalling that when she was in a good situation, who did not fight and did not rush to tie her up, now the tiger fell Pingyang was bullied by dogs, since the moment she was beaten into the cold palace, no one came to visit, and the moment she lost her mind alone she knew how ridiculous she had lived in the past 20 years.
