Emperor Yongning scolded him and threw the fold back.
On October 20 of the fifth year of Yongning, King Yi entered the palace to visit Li Qingmu, and after he could not enter the Yongshou Palace, he went up again and asked for an order to go to Dayue.
Emperor Yongning's face was gloomy, and he asked the guards to throw Li Lingyi out of the palace.
On October 22 of the fifth year of Yongning, Emperor Yongning recruited Li Lingyi into the palace and issued a secret decree ordering him to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to secretly escort the prince of Dayue to Rongcheng and negotiate with Dayue to withdraw from the army.
Li Lingyi did not accept the order.
Emperor Yongning's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice, "Then I can only find someone else to escort me." ”
Li Lingyi felt a chill in his heart, and knelt down to receive the order.
If he sends it, he will protect the safety of the prince of the Great Moon, if it is someone else, it is difficult to say.
On October 29 of the fifth year of Yongning, a light snow fell in the sky.
In the Changle Palace, Li Qingmu held the little prince who was having fun in his arms and shook lightly, his eyes were warm.
She kissed the little prince's fleshy little hand with a poop, and her heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife. She looked at all kinds of gadgets on the bed, and said to the little prince, "Yu'er, my mother will celebrate your birthday today." ”
There is still a month before the little prince turns one year old, but she can't wait, the war between the two countries is tense, and the child will be taken away and sent to Dayue the next day.
This was supposed to be done on the first birthday, but Li Qingmu advanced it a month in advance.
"What is Yu'er going to do when she grows up?" Li Qingmu put the little prince on the bed and guided him to grab the things on the bed.
The little prince crawled on the bed, knocking the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, step shake, jade plate and other things everywhere.
While crawling, the little hand caught a purse and pulled out a jade pendant from it. The little prince was very interested in the jade pendant, and raised it and shouted at Li Qingmu.
Li Qingmu sniffed, and tears fell again.
The little prince crawled in a mess and turned out the willow leaf concentric purse she had placed under the embroidered pillow. This jade pendant is the phoenix pendant.
"Yu'er likes this?" Li Qingmu sobbed and tied the jade pendant around the waist of the little prince.
The little prince shook the jade pendant and muttered a few words that Li Qingmu couldn't understand.
Li Qingmu chuckled, and then cried again.
On the first day of the 11th month of the fifth year of Yongning, Li Lingyi took the little prince and the nurse, escorted by 5,000 elite soldiers, and secretly went to Dayuerong City.
Since the tense situation between Dayue and Dashun, Xie Ruyu washed his face with tears. This time Li Lingyi went to Rongcheng, Xie Ruyu said that he would follow him, and he was so stubborn that Li Lingyi's teeth itched.
In the end, under Xie Ruyu's tearful offensive, Li Lingyi could only agree.
Because he couldn't travel fast with his children, when Li Lingyi and Xie Ruyu approached Rongcheng, it was already November in Yongning.
At this time, the Dashun generals were angry, just because a woman appeared in the enemy camp.
That woman was none other than Princess Zhaoyue, who Dashun and his relatives went.
Princess Zhaoyue did not have her own camp tent, and stayed in General Otsuki's camp at night, no different from the prostitutes who accompanied the army.
Da Yue trampled on the dignity of the Dashun royal family so much, which already made the Dashun soldiers angry. They had long wanted to send troops across the border to let Da Yue taste the power of Da Shun.
But Emperor Yongning, who was far away in the capital, did not give an order, and they did not dare to send troops privately.
The order given by Emperor Yongning is, if the enemy moves, I will attack, if the enemy does not move, I will defend!
On the third day of December in the 11th year of Yongning, Li Lingyi arrived in front of the two armies under the escort of 5,000 elite soldiers.
At this time, Rongcheng had become an empty city, and all the inn merchants abandoned their shops, and there was not a single civilian person on the street except for the rows of patrolling soldiers.
After settling down in the camp tent prepared in advance, Li Lingyi went out with a few guards to meet the general who commanded the 300,000 army.
When he learned from the soldiers who led them forward that the emperor of Dayue had rewarded Princess Zhaoyue to his subordinates and walked with the army, like a prostitute, Li Lingyi's eyes turned red, and he was furious!
After the anger, a chill rose in Li Lingyi's heart.
With the angry mood of the Dashun soldiers at this time, they can do anything. If they knew that they were coming this time, they were holding the prince of Otsuki......
Thinking about it in no hurry, Li Lingyi turned around with the guards around him, and rushed to the camp where he settled like crazy.
In front of the tent, the five hundred elite soldiers left by Li Lingyi to protect Xie Ruyu and the little prince were lying on the ground and tied up with ropes. In the tent, the nurse had vomited blood and died.
On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the fifth year of Yongning, the Dashun Palace was lit up with lights, which was very festive.
Li Qingmu was under house arrest in the Changle Hall and could not go out, and the joy outside the Changle Hall had nothing to do with her.
She sat on the low kang that was burning warm, looking out the window at the sky, which was getting darker and darker.
It had been two months since the little prince left her, and according to the speed of the march, he should have reached the territory of Dayue at this time.
Sniffing, her heart ached terribly.
Lan Xin came in with food, and after setting it on the table, she whispered to Li Qingmu, "Fifth princess, you can use something." ”
Before Lan Xin's words fell, a firecracker sounded outside the Changle Palace.
Immediately, the colorful light was reflected on the window paper of the Changle Palace.
Lan Xin scooped a bowl of rice porridge and brought it to Li Qingmu, and said, "Fifth princess, you eat something, and then the slave maid will go with you to watch the fireworks." ”
Li Qingmu withdrew his gaze from the window and shook his head lightly. She couldn't eat and didn't want to go out to watch the fireworks.
With a 'squeak' sound, Emperor Yongning walked in with Xiaojingzi.
Li Qingmu glanced up at Emperor Yongning, lowered his head, and said nothing.
Emperor Yongning looked at Li Qingmu, who had been thin for a while, and sighed. He waved his hand to the small well behind him and said, "Put the wine and food on the table." ”
Xiao Jingzi agreed from the throat, raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, and put the wine and food he brought on the table with his hands and feet.
After it was arranged, he said to Emperor Yongning, "Your Majesty, it has been arranged." ”
"Go down."
Xiao Jingzi bowed his waist and withdrew with Lan Xin.
Emperor Yongning approached Li Qingmu, stretched out his hand and tried to grab Li Qingmu's long hair and pull her into a bun.
Li Qingmu raised his head and asked, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, why aren't you at the palace banquet?" ”
"Uninteresting." Emperor Yongning put down Li Qingmu's hair, pulled Li Qingmu to sit down in front of the table, raised his hand to pour Li Qingmu a glass of wine, and said, "Today, the eldest brother wants to accompany you." ”
"How did you come up with me?" Li Qingmu snorted and said, "You should accompany your queen, your concubines, and your imperial heir." ”
"Mu'er, don't say it, the royal brother wants to see you." Emperor Yongning raised his head and drank the wine, "You can't push the imperial brother out." ”
"Under the whole world, it is not the imperial land." Li Qingmu put the wine cup to his lips and sucked it gently, "Where do I dare to push you out." ”
"Don't just drink and hurt yourself." Emperor Yongning picked up the silver chopsticks, picked up the vegetables and put them on the white jade plate in front of Li Qingmu, "Eat the vegetables, I ordered the imperial dining room to make them specially, they are all your favorite food." ”
Li Qingmu glanced at the dishes on the table and said in a low voice, "There are also my mother's favorite foods." ”
"Hmm." Emperor Yongning snorted lightly, looked at Li Qingmu, and sighed, "I have never sat down with your mother, and I have had a meal quietly as now." ”
"But you still know what she likes to eat." Li Qingmu lowered his head, and after being silent for a while, he said softly, "You let Jingyu come to me and force me to make a decision, just because you don't want to embarrass my mother." ”
"Your mother, you must hate me to death." Emperor Yongning did not deny it, and after taking a sip of wine, he said, "I also hate myself to death." ”
"You are the king of a country, and you have your own difficulties." Li Qingmu raised his eyes to look at the screen behind Emperor Yongning, staring at the plum blossoms on it and blinking repeatedly, "My mother said, emperor, there are too many things to give up." ”
"Your mother, maybe she doesn't know the emperor, she doesn't know me, but she understands the emperor." Picking his lips and smiling, Emperor Yongning said again, "But no matter how she understands the difficulties of an emperor, she will not forgive me." ”
"You are really ...... to my mother" Li Qingmu said dumbly, not knowing how to talk to his brother about his mother.
If this is in the big moon, everything will become logical.
"Everyone has things that they can't give up, I have them, your mother has them, and you have them." Emperor Yongning picked up the wine cup and poured himself wine again, "Mu'er, there will be a imperial examination next year, can the imperial brother choose a horse for you?" ”
Raising his head and drinking the wine in the cup, Li Qingmu pursed his bloodless lips and said to Emperor Yongning, "I'd better go to the Qingxin Pavilion to practice......
"I'm not going to let you sneak away to Otsuki." Seeing through Li Qingmu's thoughts, Emperor Yongning said, "If you go back to the Qingxin Pavilion, you can only be in the Qingxin Pavilion." Mu'er, don't be willful......"
Li Qingmu bit his lip and said, "You decree that I will die, so that no matter what I do, I will not disgrace the royal family." ”
Emperor Yongning once again filled Li Qingmu's wine cup and did not answer.
After a while, Li Qing said, "You go back to the palace banquet, it's not too early." ”
"There is no palace banquet, there is no palace banquet today." Emperor Yongning drank again.
Li Qingmu raised his eyes, and his eyes showed disbelief. The palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, how could there be none.
Emperor Yongning's right hand was forceful, crushing the white jade wine cup in his hand, making a crisp sound of 'pop', he looked up at Li Qingmu and spit out a few words, "Mu'er, the prince of Dayue, was sacrificed." ”
Li Qingmu's brain buzzed and couldn't think for a while, her body gradually became numb, cold, and tears slid down in large numbers, she looked at the emperor in front of her and repeated in a stunned voice, "Sacrifice flag ......"
Emperor Yongning lowered his head, his teeth clenched, "Outside, the emperor's order is not granted, Mu'er, the imperial brother is sorry for you." ”
Li Qingmu stood up, looked at Emperor Yongning and suddenly smiled, "Brother Emperor, don't tease Mu'er, this joke, Mu'er can't afford it......"
"Mu'er ......" Emperor Yongning raised his head, his eyes full of guilt.
Li Qingmu laughed twice, suddenly squatted on the ground, cried bitterly, she shouted like a child, "Mother, I want mother, I want mother......"
"Xiaojingzi." Emperor Yongning picked up the white jade pot and drank bitterly, and instructed Xiaojingzi who came in, "Pass on the imperial doctor, I want her to be well, and I want the fifth princess to be well......"
