Two years is not a long time, but it is not a short time, but there are not many things that have happened.

Li Chengyan died in April, and a letter came from Suzhou in June, saying that Mu Mingxiao's marriage had been set in Suzhou, and the wedding date was set for October. In order to give Mu Mingxiao a long face, Mu Mingshu also made a special trip to Suzhou, rewarded objects and houses, and made Mu Mingxiao flattered, and the Li family, who first divorced Mu Mingxiao, hated it but couldn't.

When it came to July, Xiliang had a big drought again, and the king of Xiliang wanted to build a new palace for his concubine, but he couldn't take care of so much, and the people were struggling to make a living. In August, there were internal contradictions in Xiliang, and the officials were divided into two factions, one faction supported the king of Xiliang, and the other faction wanted to abolish the king of Xiliang.

The people of Pingtou were also dissatisfied with the rule of King Xiliang, and launched uprisings from all over the country, starting from the border city. The king of Xiliang saw that the rebel army was menacing, and at first he didn't take it seriously, but he sent several groups of people down and there was no return, so he hit Danmu with his idea, and personally granted him a general order, ordering him to take the army to suppress the rebels from all walks of life, and even forced him to make a military order.

I thought it was a game of nine deaths and a lifetime, but I didn't want Danmu to flop the cards, and I took down the rebel army all the way smoothly, and for a time the limelight was infinite, and I was deeply loved by people everywhere.

But the king of Xiliang, who took care of his own pleasure, looked at this younger brother more and more unpleasantly, and appointed someone to secretly take his head, which Cheng wanted to go not only did not get the head of Danmu, but gave the king of Xiliang out.

For a while, the hearts of the people were cooled, and many soldiers and generals supported Danmu to take the throne, but they directly reversed from the halfway, and killed all the way back to the imperial city, and directly took the head of King Xiliang.

This war lasted for more than a year, and by November of the third year of Zhaohua, Danmu eliminated his brother and rightfully sat in the position of King Xiliang.

In the past two years, Zhao Yiheng not only sent troops to help Danmu in private, but also had two silver helps, and when Danmu was put on the throne, he was very respectful of friendship with Dadu, and even sent envoys to Dadu to participate in the Lantern Festival of Zhaohua for four years, and presented precious gifts.

On the surface, he said that he was participating in the Lantern Festival, but in fact, he was just using Zhao Ziyue's birthday to express Xiliang's determination to reconcile with Dadu.

Because of this, Mu Mingshu secretly laughed: "This Danmu is a good person, and he knows that he wants to stammer and stammer Ziyue first." ”

Zhao Ziyue is Zhao Yiheng's only son and only child, although Mu Mingshu and Zhao Yiheng are very strict with the child's teachings on weekdays, it is not difficult to see their love for the child's expectations.

I have to say that Danmu is indeed smart, but no matter how smart he is, he never thought that there would be accidents in everything.

In the past two years, Zhao Yiheng abolished the rule of setting up a banquet in the palace during the New Year's Festival, because Mu Mingshu complained to him more than once, and he was so tired that he would die of fatigue when he set up a banquet, and he would starve and freeze, and he would not be fun to eat. Zhao Yiheng, who has always favored his wife, abolished this rule without saying a word, and only set up a family banquet on the New Year's Day.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Yiheng did not hold a banquet in the palace, but led his wife and children, as well as the invited ministers and daughters, to board the boat, preparing to swim around the moat, and also received the Xiliang envoys who came from afar on the boat.

The princess Xiliang, who had been forgotten for nearly two years, was also quietly brought into the cabin, where is she still a princess now, her originally beautiful face is not half bright, her eyes are dull, her face is haggard, and she looks like she is more than ten years old. At the beginning, her hands and feet were broken, but Zhao Yiheng still had someone to pick her up, and now she can walk and move, but she can't use her strength. asked someone to clean her up, put on graceful and luxurious clothes, and she looked like a village woman, timid.

Since the king of Xiliang was destroyed and the news that Danmu became the king of Xiliang spread to Dadu, Yina, who was locked in the deep palace, had not slept peacefully for a day, and she knew that her death was not far away. She was trapped in the Dongyang Hall for two years, and the resentment in her heart had already penetrated every inch of her body.

It was indeed an excellent opportunity to take her out of the palace this time, and she had been thinking about how to escape from the moment she got on the boat.

Zhao Yiheng why Tete brought her out, in order to give her a chance to escape, he wanted an excuse to start a war against Xiliang, and Yina was an opportunity, and today's trip to the moat was prepared for her by Tete.

Mu Mingshu sat upright, drank fruit wine slowly, and talked to several female dependents without saying a word.

Those ladies knew that the queen mother had never been waiting to see the Li family because of Mu Mingxiao's affairs, and they also picked a few things about Princess Changning's recent tossing of the Li family to laugh, Mu Mingshu didn't stop her, the world knew that she was a short-term protector, so she never did one thing on the other, and she couldn't do those contrived things.

Probably because she thought that today's fruit wine tasted good, or maybe because she was in a good mood, she drank a lot of it cup by glass, and when the hour was about right, she gave Miaoqin a look.

Miaoqin understood, nodded and pulled the curtain and withdrew, just happened to meet Zhao Ziyue who came over, and now Zhao Ziyue is only eight years old, but his body is elongated, and his face is steady and old, and no one dares to underestimate it.

Miaoqin has always been skilled with him, and when she saw him, she smiled slightly: "Why is the eldest prince here?" ”

Zhao Ziyue put his hands behind his back, and nodded slightly in the style of a prince: "Come and see the queen mother." ”

Miaoqin smiled, but she didn't say anything else to him, and Zai Fuyi retreated.

Zhao Ziyue entered the cabin and Mu Mingshu smiled: "Although you are not big now, you are not small in the end, as the so-called men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven, how can you still come to the female dependents?" ”

Zhao Ziyue's face did not change, his hands arched, and he said honestly: "The father asked the child to come over and see if the queen mother is greedy." ”

Mu Mingshu was stunned, hurriedly put down the wine cup in his hand, sat upright and said, "No." ”

Zhao Ziyue glanced at Mu Mingshu's slightly red face, smiled lightly, and took the opportunity to find a place to sit down: "The child will sit with his mother." ”

Let's say that after Yina went out to meet Xiliang's envoy once, she sat motionless in the cabin when she came back, quietly listening to the movement outside, dragging a sharpened silver hairpin in her hand, ready to escape at any time, she understood that if she had no chance after today, she would never have a chance again, and she didn't know what Zhao Yiheng planned for herself.

She clearly understood in her heart that today is either life or death, and there will be no third way.

I don't know how long it took for there to be a little commotion outside the cabin, Ina was nervous, and hurriedly pricked up her ears, only to hear a little palace maid Jiaojiao smiled and said: "Sister Yueru, I heard that on the birthday of the eldest prince today, Aunt Miaoqin is sending red seals, let's go and take a look, maybe we have our share." ”

Yina raised her throat in her heart, but she heard the palace maid named Yueru say, "Yuelan, don't forget our errand." He added: "This cabin is full of important people, and if there is a mistake, we will all die." ”

Yuelan turned her head to look at the cabin where there was no movement, and suddenly froze, pursed her lips and spat hatefully: "What a broom star." After saying this, I scolded twice, but I never talked about getting the red seal again.

A glimmer of hope that Ina had just revealed, this time it was extinguished again, she looked dazed, took off her shoes and walked over lightly, leaning against the door and listening to the movement outside, wondering in her heart if she could kill these two palace maids quietly without martial arts now.

But before she could figure out what to do, she had another chance to send it up.

Two palace maids who had won the red seal talked and laughed together, and one of them, Yueyan, saw that Yue was still standing still like Yuelan, so he smiled and said: "Why are you still here, the front is red, and I am afraid that it will not be too late." ”

Yuehe, who accompanied him, also echoed: "Go quickly, I see that the guards who are guarding are all participating, and if you don't go, I'm afraid that it will be gone for a while." He grinned and said, "I just got two taels of silver, and the moon has been ringing for half a month." ”

When Yuelan heard this, her eyes were full of envy, and Yueru was also not calm in her heart, but when she thought that there was a crucial person in the cabin, the two of them sank their faces again.

"What's the matter, you still can't get along with the silver?" Yueyan smiled: "I can't see it, does this one in it still give you benefits?" ”

The younger Yuelan suddenly exploded: "Phew, what benefit can she give us, I'm afraid that we won't be able to find two taels of silver all over our body." And he said, "If it weren't for her, why wouldn't we be able to get along with the money?" He stomped his foot and scolded again.

Yueru saw that the more she talked, the more unspeakable she became, and she hurriedly pulled it, Yuelan's temperament still came, and she glared and said, "I still said something wrong." ”

The little palace maid who called Yuehe saw a lively scene, covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "It turns out that it is for this matter, the queen mother is talking to a few ladies, and there is nothing to send, so why don't we watch the meeting for you." She blinked and said, "But, after you received the red envelope, you have to invite our sisters to tea." ”

Yueru frowned and felt that it was not appropriate, but Yuelan responded with a mouthful: "Ouch, good sister, you guys are really good." "In the end, I thought that it wouldn't cost a lot of money to eat tea, but if I gave up the red envelope, I would lose at least half a month's moon ring.

"Don't talk about eating tea once, you can eat twice." Yuelan grabbed Yueru and said, "Good sister, I'm tired of you, I'll go back with Sister Yueru, and I'll invite you to tea when I turn back." ”

Yueru, who was pulled, was about to say something: "This is not good" but was interrupted by Yueyan: "This is what you said, you have to ask twice to turn around." She giggled and waved her hand again: "Go quickly, it's weird cold to stand here and blow the river wind, you can go and come back quickly." ”

Yuelan deserved a sound, pulled Yueru, who was a little hesitant, and ran away after a while.

Seeing the two of them walking away, Yueyan pulled Yuehe but avoided the windless place on the side, but said in his mouth: "At least two taels of silver, I only invited two times for tea, but I was really stingy to death." ”

"It's not, it's just that the two of them are so childish, no wonder they want to come here to blow the cold wind"

The voice of the little palace maid drifted farther and farther away, and gradually became inaudible with the cold wind on the river.

Yina, who listened to the movement outside clearly against the door, pinched the hairpin in her hand tighter and tighter, hooked her lips and sneered, she was really grateful to Zhao Ziyue who was born today, if it weren't for him, I was afraid that she wouldn't have escaped so easily.

She thought about it in her heart, and remembered the grievances she had suffered in the past two years, and she had an idea after a while, no matter whether she could escape today or not, she would definitely not let go of Mu Mingshu. She crouched down and opened the door slightly, and looked out carefully, except for the noise in the distance, there was not even a guard outside her cabin.

Ina went out lightly by the moonlight, and when she went to see the envoy, she deliberately remembered where Mu Mingshu's cabin was for entertaining the maids, so she didn't have to bother to find it, just go straight there.

On the way, she encountered two groups of patrolling guards, but she avoided them, and the closer she saw Mu Mingshu's place, the more her heart boiled. Over the years, she has lived a life that is not as good as a dog in most of the capitals, thanks to Mu Mingshu, if she doesn't kill that slut for a day, she will be unhappy in her heart for a day, and today she will pull her back even if she is going to die.

Walking to the corner of Mu Mingshu's cabin, she heard a human voice, and Ina hurriedly hid herself in the shadows, listening to the voice very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it.

Then he heard the man: "You go and prepare some sobering soup, and send it in later, if the queen asks about it, she will say that I let it in." ”

She listened carefully, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on her face, and she stood up from the shadows and spoke to the man who had just spoken: "So that's what most of you said that you didn't have to do with any effort. ”

The person who spoke turned around violently when he heard the words, looked at Ina in front of him, thought about it carefully, and pointed at her half-loudly: "It's you"
