If it were normal, Xiao Min would definitely have to discipline him so openly, but right now, no matter how much Xiao Di joked, she couldn't arouse her fighting spirit at all.

Xiao Di apparently discovered her abnormality as well. Quietly looking at her, and when his eyes fell on the letter in her hand, he found the source that kept her awake at night.

"Brother-in-law has a letter?"

Xiao Min shook his head.

Xiao Di breathed a sigh of relief.

A few days ago, he led his troops to meet Zhao Feiyi in Wuhualing, fought hard for more than a month, was defeated, and was seriously injured.

Inevitably, Xiao Zhu took this opportunity to be unfavorable to the Chu Palace, and when Xiao Di was unconscious, his confidant and close minister, Gu Zixian, the prince of Fengji County, had full authority to make the decision, kept the news of his serious injury secret, and secretly sent his younger brother Gu Zijun to lead his own soldiers to escort His Royal Highness the King of Chu to attack the Shen Mansion in Changcheng and Princess Rongxuan to recuperate from his injuries.

Gu Zixian blocked the tent in the army, strictly ordered that no one should enter or leave, and only said that His Royal Highness the King of Chu needed to study the enemy's strategy alone and should not be disturbed in any way. Because of this, the hearts of the people in the army fluctuated, and there were rumors for a while.

During the period when Xiao Di was recuperating from his injuries, the Zhou army was prosperous, and the front line was defeated one after another. Helplessly, Rong Xuan's horse and Chongjun Marquis Shen had no choice but to rush to the front line on the orders of his wife, hiding in the tent in the name of the king of Chu, and secretly united in the united front.

So far, Shen has been gone for more than half a month. The situation on the front line eased slightly, and Xiao Di was worried day by day, for fear that the unfortunate news would come back.

"Don't worry about the frontline!"

Xiao Min brought a blanket and covered him on his lap. When she is on Xiao Di for a while, her face is not very good, she is always bitter and hateful, but she is very careful in her movements.

Xiao Di let her take care of herself like a child who couldn't take care of herself, and grabbed her hand before she walked away.

Xiao Min paused, looked back at him suspiciously.

"I have listened to Mr. Yiyuan's words, take the medicine on time every day, and I will have a good life, sister, don't worry, I will be fine in a few days." He looked up at her and told her with great certainty, "In a few days, I will be able to go back and replace my brother-in-law." ”

Xiao Min was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped him heavily on the head.

"Don't even think about it!" She said angrily: "He is in the camp, at least he still has a fear of not daring to show his face, so he can only hide in the tent every day to plan, and if the army is not completely destroyed, he will not have an accident." But if you want to go back, you still have to take the sword and go desperately with the surnamed Zhao! ”

As she spoke, she pinpointed a shallow wound on his shoulder, and poked it lightly and heavily, and Xiao Di's face immediately changed.

"Hiss——!"

Xiao Min was comfortable, sat aside, and sneered: "Heh, just like you look dead now, desperate...... Let's go to the chase and give someone their life! ”

Xiao Di sighed, rubbed his shoulders, and sighed: "You have this mouth! It's really hard for my brother-in-law to endure all these years. ”

The two exchanged words, and the room gradually fell silent again. Xiao Di looked at the letter she put on the small case again and asked, "Where did the letter come from?" ”

“…… Dust. ”

Xiao Min looked at him, then at the crumpled letter, and then at the crumpled letter, and then said, "Changqiu Palace." ”

She clearly noticed that the three words of Changqiu Palace made Xiao Di's eyes change slightly.

Xiao Min wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say at all, so he simply pushed the letter directly to Xiao Di.

Xiao Di paused for a moment before reaching out and picking up the letter.

On the plain white letterhead, he is most familiar with the pen style, even if it is wrinkled, it does not affect the handsomeness of the pen at all.

He hadn't seen her words for a long time since he had repented of his marriage.

It was not a long letter, enough for him to read it in an instant, but by the time he took his eyes off the letter, it was already a cup of tea.

"I've found you here...... he smiled, thought for a moment, and asked Xiao Min, "What is she worried about?" ”

Xiao Min raised her eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "What do you want her to worry about?" ”

Yao's letter was concise and to the point, and only explained one thing to her from beginning to end, that is, she hoped that her cousin would help her figure out what the situation was in Xiao Di at the moment.

What is she worried about...... Xiao Min didn't dare to know what Xiao Di meant by this, could it be that he was expecting himself to say something, and Pei Yaowei was worried about him?

Xiao Di didn't answer Xiao Min's words.

After a while, Xiao Min sighed low and said, "Di'er, the palace has not been peaceful recently. Although she didn't mention her own situation in the letter, I heard that her situation was not very good. ”

Xiao Yi smiled, "She took advantage of Xiao Zhu's illness to use me as a handsome, but now that Xiao Chai is sick, I have suffered a defeat...... How could her situation be good. He looked at Xiao Min, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said, "You can imagine." ”

And that's not all. Her badness is not only because of state affairs, but also because of ......

Xiao Min was full of worry, but he didn't say anything deeper.

The slender finger pointed to the letter on the case, and Xiao Min hesitated: "About your facelessness......

Before she finished her words, she was lightly interrupted by Xiao Di.

He said, "Tell her." ”

“…… What the? ”

Xiao Min was a little incredulous.

She received this letter from Yao Wei during the day, and held this letter in her hand as if she were holding a hot potato. She didn't know whether to tell Yao Yao the truth or not—it wasn't because she didn't trust Pei Yao, but because she didn't think Xiao Di would trust her.

"The truth." Xiao Di said slowly: "Tell her that I am seriously injured and almost out of danger, and tell her that I am now hiding in the Shen Mansion to recuperate." ”

"...... Er" Xiao Min frowned, and pondered for a long time before confirming: "Have you really thought about it?" ”

Xiao Di smiled lightly, and his eyes fell on the man's letter again-

"Her ability to give me this trust is certainly worthy of my truth."

He said, "Sister, tell her." ”

More than ten days later, Princess Rongxuan sent the nurse Mrs. Gongsun to send congratulatory gifts to Beijing and meet the Changqiu Palace on the grounds of the Thousand Autumn Festival of the Queen.

"Thousand Autumn Festival?" Pei Yaowei was not only happy when she saw Mrs. Gongsun, but she also felt that her cousin's reason was really bad, "My birthday on September 15 is still a month!" It's hard for my cousin to talk nonsense like this! ”

Mrs. Gongsun looked around the Changqiu Palace, standing there with a solemn expression, but she had no intention of joking with her.

"The middle palace of the mother is disturbed by rumors and trapped in a room, which is really ridiculous!"

Mrs. Gongsun was originally the maid of the first emperor Empress Dexiao, the slave of the Pei family, when she was a little older, she got the grace of Empress Dexiao, married and married, and later, after the queen gave birth to Princess Rongxuan, she returned to the palace again and became the nurse of the princess.

Princess Rong Xuan is the only surviving daughter of the first emperor and the queen of virtue and filial piety, and she is a noble person, needless to say. Mrs. Gongsun has to be valued by the first emperor and the queen of Yuan, and her status in the palace is not shallow, even if she follows the eldest princess to the south for a long time and returns for a while, she is also majestic.

Pei Yao was afraid to listen to the lesson, so she was busy playing with her, and in three or two sentences, she forcibly twisted the conversation and asked, "By the way, my cousin specially sent you over, presumably because of my trust?" ”

Mrs. Gongsun knew what she was thinking, but she didn't dare to delay the business, so she told her everything Xiao Min had instructed.

"Is he at his cousin's?" Pei Yaowei was a little surprised, but when she thought about it, she didn't seem to have anything to surprise about.

If you are seriously injured...... For Xiao Di, keeping it secret does have more advantages than disadvantages. The Zhou battlefield is in the southeast again, and it is reasonable to go to Shen Mansion to recuperate from injuries......

Mrs. Gongsun said: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is seriously injured, if it weren't for that Mr. Yiyuan coming in time, I'm afraid it would be ......."

Speaking of this, she paused, and then slowly told her about Shen Qu's secret going to the front line for the united front.

Pei Yaowei was silent for a while.

"Xiao ......" a question that she felt she shouldn't ask, when she arrived, she still couldn't help but ask: "How is King Chu's injury?" ”

Mrs. Gongsun looked at her with motherly comfort and some unspeakable meaning in her eyes, and finally told her, "It will be fine." ”

Pei Yao nodded indifferently, not knowing how much to believe.

"Frontline ......"

Mrs. Gongsun said: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu said, please rest assured. ”

Pei Yao was stunned, "...... What did he say? ”

It's not Princess Rongxuan who said, but ...... His Royal Highness the King of Chu said?

Mrs. Gongsun was stunned for a while, and after a while, she understood the meaning of her question and nodded slowly.

Knowing that Xiao Di was with Xiao Min, Pei Yao's heart hanging in the southern realm, he let go of a lot. And Mrs. Gongsun's visit obviously caused a lot of turmoil in the palace.

The concubines all said that this was because Princess Rong Xuan heard what happened to the queen in the palace, so she specially sent her henchmen to support the queen. Even Xiao Zhu, after Mrs. Gongsun lived in the side hall of Changqiu Palace, she deliberately took the time to come over.

"Madame is here to help me persuade the queen."

In the warm pavilion of Changqiu Palace, Xiao Zhu and Pei Yao sat on both sides of the Luohan couch, Mrs. Gongsun gave the queen a bow, Xiao Zhu turned his gaze to Pei Yaowei while speaking, and complained to Mrs. Gongsun half-truthfully: "It's not a child anymore, and it's always angry with me for a little thing, and now I don't even want to go out of the palace gate, how can I do this as the mother of a country!" ”

Pei Yaowei had an unwavering smile on her face, and said in her heart: What kind of do you like, look for it, who stopped you.

With a solemn and dignified gaze, Mrs. Gongsun looked the couple back and forth twice, and then suddenly opened her mouth and said to the queen: "Niangniang, Your Majesty is right. ”

As soon as these words came out, both of them were a little surprised, and Pei Yao raised her eyebrows and looked at her.

Mrs. Gongsun flicked the hem of her clothes steadily, and then said: "You are the prince of the main palace, and you are the serious master of our Daliang, if those lowly concubines who are not long-eyed are disrespectful, they can be beaten to death with sticks when they go out of the palace gate, and the mother is useless to be angry with Your Majesty." ”

Really.

Pei Yaowei smiled slightly and nodded unexpectedly.

Xiao Zhu's face changed slightly, and he was about to say something, when he heard Mrs. Gongsun say again: "In the past, when Empress Dexiao was alive, she was too benevolent, and she was often lenient when she committed disrespectful things, but I don't know, how can I know what gratitude is for blind things?" If you get forgiveness, you still have to laugh at the cowardice of the master behind your back. The slave maid now thinks back that if it weren't for the emperor's love for Changqiu, who was willing to punish the concubines, deter the harem, and protect the queen with thunderous means, then the queen's kindness would not have made her suffer how much she would have suffered! ”

As she spoke, she smiled, looked at Xiao Zhu, and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, what do you think?" ”

Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

He smiled lightly and said, "Madame's words are reasonable." ”
