In the evening, a banquet was held in the Acacia Pavilion, and the Nine Kings ordered people to prepare a lot of snacks and prepare burning knives. Because Su Bing and the princess were also there, they also warmed a pot of glutinous rice wine.

Jiuwang poured wine for Su Bing and said in a warm voice: "Of course, it is not as good as the glutinous rice wine you brewed yourself, but it is also easy to eat, drink a few more glasses." ”

Jun Zetian raised his eyes and looked at Su Bing and the Nine Kings, his eyes were suspicious.

Su Bing glanced at Jun Zetian and explained, "Nine Kings and I have known each other since we were in Yuezhou. ”

Jun Zetian's face was a little displeased, "I've never heard you say it." ”

Su Bing picked up the wine glass, looked at the slightly warm and dark color in the glass, the wine was fragrant, and the sweet smell lingered on the tip of her nose, she took a sip before putting down the cup and said to Jun Zetian: "I won't say anything important." ”

Jun Zetian understood, she felt that it was an old acquaintance with the Nine Kings, and it was not an important thing, that is to say, the Nine Kings had no weight in her heart. He was glad to hear her say this, because the Nine Kings were suave and uninhibited, and they were the most liked by women.

The Nine Kings smiled idly, "Su Bing, are you not afraid of hurting this king's fragile soul when you say this?" ”

Song Yungang and the princess were stunned suddenly, they all looked up at Su Bing, and the princess asked in a lost voice, "Your name is Su Bing?" Aren't you called warmth? ”

Su Bing's face froze, and then he smiled lightly, "Su Bing is my milk name, and later the master said that my name sounded like a plague and was unlucky, so he helped me change my name to Warmth." However, although he helped me change my name, he always called me Su Bing, and Jiuwang heard my master call me Su Bing, and he also called me Su Bing. ”

The princess looked puzzled, "It's such a coincidence?" She looked at Jun Zetian, as if she suddenly understood, and looked at Su Bing with some pity.

Song Yungang held her hand and said with a cold expression: "There are some things that cannot be replaced, only stupid people will find substitutes, and besides, pheasants can never become phoenixes." ”

Su Bing looked at the two of them suspiciously, she understood what the princess meant, but what did Song Yungang mean by this? Is she fighting for her former self or is she belittling her current self?

When Jun Zetian heard him say this, his face changed slightly, but he didn't have a seizure.

The Nine Kings changed the topic and said to Jun Zetian in a praising tone: "Qian'er, I heard that you have made many military exploits in the past three years and have been named the Flying Eagle General, this is more of your imperial brother's past teachings, without your imperial brother's guidance and experience, you may not have today's achievements." ”

Song Yungang's face also changed, and he said coldly: "Where is the credit of this king?" Uncle Huang said that forget it, but he will be angry if he is more real. "This Flying Eagle General should have been Song Yungang's, he has always minded this matter, he does not seek the throne, a person who has a brilliant record on the battlefield, has his own pursuits and goals, and the title of General Flying Eagle is his goal and dream.

However, from the age of 16 to the age of 16, he followed General Zhu on the expedition to this year, a full ten years, and made countless military exploits, defending the country's safety and defending the territory, but he did not get any recognition.

On the contrary, Jun Zetian was named the Flying Eagle General after only a few victories, how could he not be resentful? Besides, speaking of the past, if he hadn't been confused that day, he wouldn't have killed An Ran's stepmother Su Bing, and now he has found a woman named Su Bing, thinking that he can replace the real Su Bing, it seems that his so-called affection is just a means to show others.

Look at Su Bing again, she looks like a watery poplar flower, on the one hand, she is not involved with her father, and on the other hand, she is ambiguous with Jun Zetian, and now she seems to have an old relationship with the Nine Kings, such a person, also named Su Bing, is simply an insult to An Ran's stepmother.

When Jun Zetian heard this, he stood up and said to the Nine Kings: "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, please forgive my nephew for retiring!" ”

Song Yungang also stood up and said to the Nine Kings: "No matter how good the wine is, if you don't have a confidant, you will only live up to the wine, and your nephew will also retire!" ”

The Nine Kings stood up, "Oh, what are you brothers doing?" Is it okay to give Uncle Huang a face? Besides, it's not a deep hatred, just make it clear if you misunderstand. ”

Song Yungang pulled Princess Zhenyuan and said, "No, let's go!" ”

With that, he left the table.

Jun Zetian also pulled Su Bing and said, "Let's go." ”

Su Bing gently broke free of his hand and said, "You go back first, I have a few words to ask the Nine Kings." ”

Jun Zetian frowned, "What do you have to ask?" This king is waiting for you. ”

Su Bing shook his head, "It's a matter of Yuezhou, you go back first, and I will go to the Queen Mother's dormitory to serve in a while." ”

Seeing that she insisted on talking to the Nine Kings, Jun Zetian was also angry, and said lightly: "Whatever you want!" So saying, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Su Bing sat down again and stared at the Nine Kings solemnly, "Are you satisfied?" ”

The Nine Kings shrugged, "They were originally not enough brotherhood, but they couldn't stand it like this if they provoked a sentence and a half, and they would be provoked by the close ministers around them in the future, so it would be strange if they didn't fight." ”

"You are uncles and nephews, and you are related by blood." Su Bing frowned and reminded.

The Nine Kings restrained their smiles and put on a cold face, "This king and the emperor are also brothers. ”

"He can't stand you, he has nothing to do with their brother, why bother to stir up their relationship? If your own brothers are at odds, should you see them follow in your footsteps? Su Bing said with a little emotion, "In the past, in Yuezhou, I always felt that you had no quarrel with the world, but now that I think about it, you are not indisputable with the world, you are just Taoguang and obscure, otherwise you would not have cultivated so many cronies in the capital." ”

"Xiao Su Bing, this king never hides himself, you always thought that this king had no quarrel with the world, don't say that this king is a human, even if it is a dog, he will jump off the wall if he is forced to be in a hurry. You are not this king, how do you know what this king has suffered all these years? Jiuwang stood up, holding the railing of the Acacia Pavilion with both hands, looking at the wind and rain outside, his eyes were ruthless, "Over the years, this king has not slept well, he is always on guard, I don't know when he will be killed, I don't know when he will die of poison, this kind of day, this king has had enough, and Song Zidan is also majestic enough, it is time for him to retreat." ”

Su Bing said: "I don't care how ambitious you are and what your final purpose is, but I hope you don't hurt their brothers." ”

"Su Bing, you should understand that this king really loves you as a sister, there are so many good men in the world, you don't have to hang yourself on Jun Zetian." The Nine Kings are meaningful.

Su Bing shook his head, "Some things can be done, and some things are determined to be for a lifetime, which is equivalent to asking you to give up returning to Yuezhou now, and you won't agree." Everyone has their own ambitions, I don't force you, and you don't have to force it, it's just the same, you have to stop your national teacher from sending me to the emperor. ”

Jiuwang said: "This king said that this matter has nothing to do with this king, it is Song Yungang's meaning." ”

"The national teacher is your person, he must only listen to you, if you don't have such an order, how dare he obey it?" Su Bing was not a fool and knew the intentions of the Nine Kings. He arranged for her to be by the emperor's side, so that he could use her to control the emperor in the future, because now the emperor is almost mad, and he will do whatever the national teacher says. She is the so-called noble girl, and the national teacher will definitely instigate the emperor to do a lot of things for her that are unpopular with the world, and then he can attack the imperial city logically with a sentence of Qingjun's side. The so-called sister is just a use.

She had read a lot of history books, and she also knew a lot of conspiracies to fight for the throne, and she knew his next intention from the fact that the Nine Kings easily obtained the antidote by spreading rumors with the national teacher.

A trace of pain flashed across the face of the Nine Kings, and he said softly: "Su Bing, this king is also forced to do so, but this king promises that he will let you retreat, and this king will compensate you for everything that has happened." ”

Su Bing held on to the railing, walked down the stone steps step by step, and said in a cold voice: "Thank you!" ”

An ambitious person, no matter what she says, can't shake half a point. Especially, he has endured humiliation for so long and planned for so long, how could he give up because of her words? Reading the book

The wind was very strong, accompanied by the cold rain pouring over, Su Bing wrapped her clothes tightly, walked up to the corridor, under the wind lamp in the corridor, there was a figure standing, her heart warmed, she stepped forward to stare at him, and said, "Go back." ”

Jun Zetian wanted to hold her hand, Su Bing avoided it, there were many people in the palace, I was afraid that some rumors would reach the emperor's ears, Long Yan was furious, I was afraid that there would be a storm.

Jun Zetian didn't force it, but his expression was a little cold.

Jun Zetian stayed in the queen's palace, and Su Bing went back to serve the queen mother.

The Queen Mother woke up once, drank some soup, and fell asleep again.

Su Bing sat on the edge of the Queen Mother's bed, originally she was a slave now, and she shouldn't be sitting, but the Queen Mother was asleep, and the people around her knew that she was a doctor arranged by the emperor, so they all helped with the lighting, and the stove and cloak were all available for supper.

The Queen Mother woke up again in the middle of the night, Su Bing hurriedly got up, leaned over and asked, "Queen Mother, are you uncomfortable?" ”

The Queen Mother opened her eyes, touched her hands in front of her, held Su Bing's arm, and her face was a little stunned, "The mourning family had a dream." ”

Su Bing rubbed the Queen Mother's hands and said warmly: "What dream did the Queen Mother have?" ”

The Queen Mother looked infatuated, "The mourning family heard that someone called the mourning family Lafayette." ”

Su Bing's heart trembled slightly, Lafayette, it was the title she called when she first entered the palace, and at that time, she was almost punished for the title of Lafayette.

She asked knowingly: "Did the Queen Mother see the Buddha?" That's a good thing, it proves that the Queen Mother has the blessing of the Buddha. ”

The Queen Mother let out a long sigh, "I hope it's a good thing!" ”

Su Bing helped her down and said, "Sleep well!" ”

The Queen Mother suddenly took her hand, "Ming'er, you go to the Buddha Hall to get Buddha beads for the mourning family!" ”

Su Bing said: "Okay, don't think about it, let's rest." With that, she sat at the head of the bed and massaged the head of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother's breathing gradually evened out, but after a while, she suddenly opened her eyes again and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Su Bing said: "The slave is called warm!" ”

The Queen Mother exhaled a long breath, "Warm, what a name!" ”

Su Bing smiled bitterly, warm, it is indeed a good name, but it is not her name.

The Queen Mother finally fell asleep, and Su Bing sat on the couch, feeling physically and mentally exhausted. She rested on the couch for a while, and then she felt tired, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and at last, she fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, until a ray of sunlight came in from the windowsill, stabbing her eyes a little painful, she opened her eyes, pushed open the window, and saw that the sun was shining outside, there was a little bit of warmth in March, she was stunned for a moment, and the rain stopped?

The Queen Mother was still asleep, and there was no palace maid walking in the corridor outside, so she stretched her waist and wanted to go out for a walk.

Behind him, a female voice suddenly came, "Su Bing!" ”

She felt that the air suddenly became cold, and she turned her head sharply, and saw a woman in yellow standing behind her, with a hint of sadness on her face, which she was very familiar with.

It's Yang Luoyi!

Although Jun Zetian was sick in the palace, it was difficult for him to meet Su Bing. Even if we can see each other, we can't say a few words.

On this day, drinking lotus seed soup in the queen's bedroom, my mind was in a trance.

Seeing this, the queen sat beside him and said, "Qian'er, she is not the only woman in the world. ”

Jun Zetian looked at the queen, "What did the queen mother say?" Erchen didn't understand. ”

The queen stroked his face, "You were born to the queen mother, what are you thinking in your heart, how can the queen mother not understand?" You know the character of your father, and the woman he likes, you must get it, and if you insist on opposing him, there will be no good fruit to eat. ”

Jun Zetian held the queen's hand and said sadly: "The queen mother has had too hard over the years. ”

The queen smiled, "The queen mother is not bitter, since the queen mother gave birth to you, there is only you in my heart, as long as you live well, the queen mother will live well." As for your father, he will never be devoted to a woman in his life, so the queen mother never expects it, neither expects, nor is she disappointed, let alone bitter. ”

After a pause, she said again: "Since Su Bing left, the queen mother has been looking forward to a girl who can enter your heart, but I didn't expect that the creation of people, that girl, also went to the bottom of your father's heart." The queen mother knows that the girl also likes you in her heart, but the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and your father has recently favored the national teacher, and the national teacher said that she is a noble daughter, and entering the palace can assist the national fortune, and can give birth to the prince for him, where will he let go easily? Even if it is his own son, if he is cold and hard, he can not care about half of his feelings. Although the queen mother hopes that you can be with that girl, she hopes that you will be well. ”

Jun Zetian said softly: "Is there really no other way? ”

The queen glanced at the palace maid behind her, and after the palace maid entered, she took out a roster, "Your father and the emperor decreed to find a princess for you, you see, which of these girls does you like, say listen to the queen mother, and the queen mother will make decisions for you." ”

Jun Zetian shook his head and stared at the queen, "If it weren't for her, Erchen would rather never marry." ”

The queen pressed his hand and said solemnly: "Qian'er, this is not the time to be willful, your father and emperor have already suspected you and warmth." It's okay if you don't marry, it's better to make Concubine Rou a concubine, and it can be regarded as an explanation to your father. ”

Jun Zetian thought that Yang Luofan poisoned Su Bing, and if he didn't kill her, it would already be considered mercy to his subordinates, where would he be willing to help him as a concubine? At the moment, Zhengse said: "No! ”

The queen sighed, "Marrying Concubine Rou that day is also your own idea, and you have to secretly marry when the queen mother leaves Beijing to pray for blessings, if it weren't for the queen mother to carry it for you, you would have been condemned a long time ago, and you risked the world's disapproval to marry her that day, why don't you want it today?" If you can't forget Su Bing, it's reasonable, but now you ..... Does it really matter who this person is? ”

Jun Zetian stood up and said irritably: "Queen Mother, I'd rather lack than abuse!" After that, he dropped a sentence, "Erchen went to see the imperial grandmother!" ”

However, when I went to the Queen Mother's bedroom, I saw that the emperor was also there, and the Queen Mother fell asleep, and the emperor pulled Su Bing to talk beside her.

Su Bing looked up and saw him coming in, relieved, took a step back and said, "See the prince!" ”
