The deep meaning contained in Empress Shen's words was to try to tell Mrs. Qin that the fate of Mrs. Qi that day was only afraid that it would be her fate in the future. And Mrs. Qin's understanding of Ji Gongyan is far better than that of Empress Shen, and when Empress Shen thought that Ji Gongyan was indulging in pleasure all day long, Mrs. Qin knew Ji Gongyan's ability to strategize. So at this moment, Empress Shen mentioned that Mrs. Qin couldn't help but be guarded, "Why did Uncle Zheng lead troops into Beijing?" Also for this? ”

"Madam Qin," Empress Shen looked at Madam Qin and said, "Zheng Guo and Bao Xi have no direct relationship, if Zheng Guo sends troops to garrison Qi State, then victory is the credit of Bao Xi, but defeat has nothing to do with her!" What's more, don't forget, Zheng Qizhi led his troops to defeat Dongyi that day, if it weren't for the impeachment of these useless courtiers and the death of this good general, I'm afraid that this battle situation may not be like this now, right? ”

Mrs. Qin's hand pinched on the arm of the chair and took a deep breath, "So Uncle Zheng is indeed going to send troops?" ”

"I didn't say this," Empress Shen shook her head, "To be honest, I don't know why Uncle Zheng entered Beijing this time, but Bao Xi mentioned to me earlier that if the Qin State wants to march to the Qi State, it will definitely pass through the Zheng State, Xu Yes...... Bao Xi wants to explain to Uncle Zheng, and when the Qin State enters the country, he must be entertained! She pursed her lips as she spoke, and looked up and down at Mrs. Qin in front of her with a smile that did not trace a trace, Mrs. Qin was frightened in her heart, and she was afraid, and her hair was already soaked with sweat.

This is a good hospitality, but I'm afraid it won't be polite.

"Madam," Xiren stepped in, looking at Mrs. Qin and shouting, Mrs. Qin frowned, only then did she know that she had committed a taboo, so she immediately covered her mouth, and Empress Shen smiled kindly, "It's okay, it's not that people haven't come yet, and the ladies in the other rooms don't know when they will sleep, but it's really sleepy!" Now that everyone is here, we have to mention something! She said and stood up, "You guys have something to say first, I get up every day to serve a stick of incense for Empress Dowager Jiang, Mrs. Qin came too early today, and almost forgot this homework!" ”

"Please leave me alone!" Mrs. Qin said with a smile, trying her best not to let people notice her state of mind at the moment, and watching Empress Shen leave, Mrs. Qin glared at the reckless and reckless person just now, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"Bao Xi invited Xiuxiu to Dazai Palace early in the morning to invite Muwen who left the palace, as if he was going to worship Uncle Zheng." Xiren whispered.

"What about Uncle Zheng?" Mrs. Qin asked, very nervous.

"Yesterday, when I was catching up with Zhao Shangqing in Dazai Palace, the people of Dazai Palace said that they were going to Madame Zheng's mausoleum to worship today." Xiren said, these two things collided together, Mrs. Qin's heart became more and more uneasy, and now Bao Xi actually wants to leave the palace to meet Uncle Zheng alone, so no one knows what they will discuss with each other.

Because few people know Uncle Zheng's feelings for Bao Xi, and Bao Xi's personal acquaintance married into the Zheng family, even if he heard that the two were going to meet in private, he would not associate too much indecent information. She was only worried that Uncle Zheng's entry into Beijing this time would be detrimental to her brother, and she began to think about whether to ask her brother to change his strategy and go to Qi State, and then discuss it later?

And Bao Xi didn't expect that everything was so coincidental, but he worshiped and Zheng Boyou on the same day, originally just planned to inadvertently spread the matter to Zheng Boyou's ears, but at this moment it became a deliberate encounter, but it made Bao Xi's decision become utilitarian, Zheng Boyou frowned, and his expression was not too friendly. This journey took most of the day, and both of them were a little tired, and there was no expression on their faces.

"Mother?" Zheng Boyou looked at Bao Xi coldly and bowed.

Bao Xi nodded slightly, raised his hand, signaled that Zheng Boyou could be exempted, and walked towards the front of Mrs. Zheng's tomb, there were various divine beast patterns resting along the way, and the tomb was a few feet underground, no one could reach it, and could only worship in front of Mrs. Zheng's spirit card, Xiuxiu walked around here, and when she came back, she whispered beside Bao Xi, "It's a little strange!" ”

"What's wrong?" Bao Xi looked at Xiuxiu.

Xiuxiu pursed her lips, with a sad look on her face, "On that day, this mausoleum was built according to the ritual system of the later throne, and the king and queen have always been buried in the same cave, so the tomb should not be sealed, but this tomb ......" She paused, she didn't need to say any more, she thought that Bao Xi should have understood, Bao Xi glanced at Xiuxiu, and then at the tomb, "Don't talk about this here." ”

"Yes!" Xiuxiu responded, knowing that she had committed a taboo, but she couldn't help but feel too strange, which meant that the king never thought of burying herself in the royal family's mausoleum, let alone being buried in the same cave with Mrs. Zheng, she couldn't help but shed a tear, feeling deep sadness for Mrs. Zheng.

Bao Xi stood in front of Mrs. Zheng's tomb and was silent for a long time, the tomb of the Zhou Dynasty was simple, there were no complicated inscriptions, except for the sacred beasts guarding the corridor of the mausoleum, there was nothing to see outside. Zheng Boyou stood in front of the tomb as silent as Bao Xi, the two of them didn't say a word, like two passers-by who didn't know each other, Xiuxiu looked at the two strangely, and couldn't figure out the reason for this.

When twilight fell, Xiuxiu said, "Niangniang, it's getting late, go down the mountain and go back to the post station to rest?" ”

Bao Xi glanced at Xiuxiu and nodded, and handed his gaze to Zheng Boyou by the way, as if he was asking him with his eyes if he would leave together, but Zheng Boyou pretended not to see Bao Xi's gaze. Xiuxiu looked at Zheng Boyou and asked, "Will Zheng Boyou go down the mountain together?" ”

Zheng Boyou turned to Xiuxiu and looked at Bao Xi again.

"Let's go down the mountain together, right?" Xiuxiu opened her mouth and said, "This mountain road is not easy to walk at night, Uncle Zheng might as well take Niangniang's carriage down the mountain, right?" ”

Zheng Boyou looked at Bao Xi, waiting for her to say something. Xiuxiu looked at Zheng Boyou's expression, covered her mouth and laughed, "If the mother refuses, I'm afraid that Uncle Zheng won't dare to get into the mother's carriage!" ”

"If Uncle Zheng wants to leave, just one piece, right?" Bao Xi opened his mouth and said, "If the hanging is not over, I can wait!" ”

"Let's go!" Zheng Boyou took a step forward, there is no place for people to refuse, Zheng Boyou doesn't want to have an argument with Bao Xi on these things, especially since there are many outsiders here, there are a lot of people who go out with Bao Xi, and this pomp is big enough, I don't know if it's to refute rumors or to show, in short, Zheng Boyou doesn't like all this.

Bao Xi got on the car first, and then Xiuxiu, she opened the door curtain of the carriage and waited for Zheng Boyou to come up, Zheng Boyou hesitated for a while, and then stepped onto the board, sitting in the carriage opposite Bao Xi, the space in the carriage was narrow, and there was no extra place for the three of them to occupy, Xiuxiu opened the curtain and jumped down from it, "The night is too heavy, I'm afraid that the groom will go the wrong way, I sit in front and watch." ”

Bao Xi nodded.

The door curtain fell again, and there were only Zheng Boyou and Bao Xi left in the world, she looked at him with a calm face, "I didn't expect to meet Zheng Bo here." ”

"Unexpected?" Zheng Boyou asked, "Didn't my mother learn the news that I went up the mountain to worship today, so she went to my sister's tomb to worship, in order to let me retract the harsh criticism I gave you yesterday?" ”

"Is this necessary?" Bao Xi asked.

Zheng Boyou choked up a lot with these words, and he seemed to unconsciously take his status too seriously, "I forgot that Niangniang has always been unconcerned about other people's eyes, so why did you come here today?" ”

"I just remembered something," Bao said.

"What?" Zheng Boyou asked.

"Before Mrs. Zheng died, I was the only one by her side," Bao Xi said, "She told me that she did not regret entering the palace to marry the king in this life, knowing that the ending would be like this, but thinking that death could help, her heart was already grateful." If I have to face the end of death one day, I am afraid that I am not as calm as Mrs. Zheng, and I will lose in this matter. ”

"She knows you're going to kill her?" Zheng Boyou's hands were clenched tightly together.

"How could you not know?" Bao Xi asked rhetorically, "Mrs. Zheng is a smart person, extremely smart, she has no one in the palace and is her own protective color, in order to make the king think that she is a simple woman, and she can remove all the mental defenses, if a woman can lead a man to remove all the mental defenses, then she will also win the man together!" ”

"So you had to kill her?" Zheng Boyou asked.

"If she had the chance, she would have killed me!" Bao Xi said, "And she also had a chance, the miscarriage is once, I have already stepped into the ghost gate with one foot, and the time you came to the pickaxe capital to make a new year, it was another opportunity, she grasped it, but unfortunately, the king did not have this heart." ”

"You don't have to show off the king's love for you in front of me, this matter is already known to the whole world, and there is no need to repeat it!" Zheng Boyou was a little dissatisfied.

"Do you know," Bao Xi looked at Zheng Boyou and asked, "Huachen Hall and Qiongtai Hall are only separated by a lake. ”

"You know, I've been there quite a few times." Zheng Boyou responded.

"The king is standing in my dormitory, facing the main hall of the Huachen Palace, I first came to the capital of Ho, it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, this window is never closed," Bao Xi raised her head and said, her eyes were full of tears, "Later, because of Zhao Shangqing's radicalism, I was beaten into the cold palace, I didn't know that this matter was discussed between Zhao Shangqing and the king, and my heart was discouraged, sitting in the dormitory, I saw the king jumping into the lake to pick lotus flowers to give to her in order to please Mrs. Zheng's joy." He will only do it for her, and he will not blame her for any great crime, but I can't, I can't take a wrong step in this palace, because there are too many people who are trying to crush my bones and scatter ashes, and I am just a pawn laid by the king on this chessboard. ”
