Wanying entered Rongshou Palace alone, only to see that there were no flowers planted in the courtyard, and the green pressure was full of evergreen plants such as green pines and cypresses. A faint smell of sandalwood drifted in the air, as if it were a temple in a trance. I was thinking about the temple and listening carefully, as if the sound of a wooden fish beating really penetrated my ears. Wanying thought to herself: Could it be that she really entered the temple in the palace?

"You're Wanying, aren't you? I'm the aunt in charge here. A soft voice drifted into his ears.

Wanying realized that her aunt who had rescued her that day was standing under the porch. "It turned out to be you, auntie. The slave was still wondering where she had heard her aunt's name. Wanying leaned over and saluted.

"The wind chill is getting better." Aunt Bitong pulled Wanying up.

"It's already good. Thank you aunt for your concern. ”

"What happened that day, did you ever get angry with Bitong." She hugged Wanying towards the east wing.

"If it weren't for my aunt's rescue, the slave wouldn't have been able to escape that day."

Aunt Bitong smiled knowingly and said, "Gonggong Cui has always been heavy-handed, and you have fine skin and tender meat, so I made such a decision." ”

"Auntie, thanks to my aunt for breaking the siege that day, otherwise Wanying would really have to suffer from flesh and skin. Maybe it really gave me a small life. ”

While speaking, Aunt Bitong led Wanying into a side room in the outer courtyard.

"This is your bedroom, the northwest courtyard is the most deserted palace in the palace, and it also has the advantage of being deserted, there are fewer people and more houses, so you don't have to crowd a few people in one room." Aunt Bitong lifted the cotton curtain, and the lush scent of sandalwood came to her nose.

"Auntie, this is a good place for self-cultivation, and it is really the creation of slaves."

"Everyone else is reluctant to come here, but you girl is good, I like it here."

"It's quiet here, my aunt is also kind to the slaves, and the concubine is a very compassionate person. Why don't slaves like it? ”

"Good boy, it's rare that you can think like that. The concubine is meditating and chanting at this time, and I will take you to meet you after lunch. ”

"Aunt Labor." Wanying didn't know what to do after she finished speaking, and she smirked at her aunt like a coquettish.

"Good boy, I've taken care of my body in the past few days. Wait a ......" Aunt Bitong was talking, and when she saw the pot of foxtail lilies in the house, she smiled heartily and said, "Oh, this is a flower sent by Xiaolinzi next to the Queen Mother." Little ghost, I asked for a long time, but he didn't say anything. only said to give it to Sister Wanying. "My aunt seemed to have something to say, but she still didn't say anything. has been in the deep palace all the year round, and has served by the concubine's side, and knows that more is better than less. Seeing Wanying's embarrassed face, she said, "You pick it up first, and I'll go to the Buddha Hall to see what the concubine has to say."

"Auntie walks slowly."

Seeing off Aunt Bitong, Wanying sat on the chair, kept stroking the handkerchief in her hand with both hands, and wondered in her heart: "This He You'an, hasn't you made enough trouble in Chu Lixuan?" chased to Rongshou Palace and tossed, did you want to put Wanying to death? If you send flowers every day, sooner or later the people in the palace will know that it will really be a place to die without a place to be buried. I'm. ”

"Shi Wanying, someone is looking for you outside." Wanying was angry and angry, He You'an. I heard someone calling his name outside the window. I don't know what the reason is for a while, so I have to go out and have a look.

When I arrived at the outer courtyard, before I left the inner courtyard gate, I saw the familiar figure standing among the pines and cypresses, and suddenly his cheeks were burning, and he complained. I was reluctant to do so, and my footsteps still walked towards that figure.

"In five days, You'an will be out of school, and I still want to come to see you before leaving, so I can rest assured." He was still the same misty eyes.

"How did you enter Rongshou Palace, could it be that the palace rules of Ziwei Divine Palace are all furnished?" Wanying said angrily. It seems that he is still haunted by the events of that night.

"Oh, you said this, Yu Min has been learning swords for almost four or five years, right?" As he spoke, he rolled his eyes upward, as if he was counting the years. "Well, that's right, four years and ten months."

"It's like it's a common thing for you to go in and out of the inner court. Do you know what this place is? Wanying looked at him with a calm and breezy look, and she was even more angry, wanting to scare and tease him.

"The Rongshou Palace of the noble concubine, it was the Queen Mother who asked You'an to teach the Ninth Master to practice swords, isn't this okay?" He also seriously pretended to be innocent. Wanying couldn't help but be even more annoyed.

"The Queen Mother?" Unexpectedly, he moved out from a bigger place, and Wanying was so frightened that she couldn't speak for a while.

"Yes, it's the Queen Mother." He thought that Wanying didn't believe it, but in fact, Wanying didn't believe it, it was unbelievable.

"Then you must be familiar with Rongshou Palace?" Wan Ying suddenly remembered that Gonggong Wei said that the small bridge between Rongkang Palace and Yingchun Palace wanted him to tell Wan Ying where it was.

"That's right, You'an accompanied the emperor with the prince at the age of nine, Ziwei Shrine, I have already run and played, where there is an ant hole, where there is a rat's nest, where there is a swallow's nest, the horns are beautiful, there is nothing I don't know!"

"Then do you know the stone bridge to go to the Spring Palace?"

"Of course I know, there is a side gate on the east side of the second courtyard of Rongshou Palace, and I walked along the Yuhua stone road out of the side door, and there was the stone bridge in a few steps. There is a third lion cub on the stone bridge with my words engraved underneath! "He was clearly immersed in fond memories of his childhood.

"Thank you. Wanying went back first. Wanying didn't dare to inquire directly with Gonggong Wei, but she didn't expect He Youan to help her. Asked what she wanted, Wanying turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute, okay?" He You'an spoke almost pleadingly.

"Are you okay?"

"I'll be gone in a few days, so you can talk to me. Just for a moment, okay? He You'an pleaded.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it okay to celebrate the New Year? Wan Ying looked at him like this, and her tone softened a lot.

"The military situation is urgent, the rebels in Fujian have infiltrated the border of Liangjiang, and the governor of Liangjiang has rushed to the capital once a day to send reinforcements to the imperial court. Just now You'an received the tiger talisman and knew that he was leaving, so he wanted to come and see you. ”

He said it lightly, but Wanying knew that once Jinling missed, the rebels drove straight in, and the Central Plains region would be in danger. What's more, the Central Plains region has always had a large population, and once the war breaks out, it will be the people of Li who will suffer.

"So urgent?"

"The 80,000 troops sent earlier have held out for more than a month, and it is estimated that there is not much left. The rebels of the Three Routes in Fujian, who claimed to be 200,000 people, had now been assembled, and the remaining troops of the imperial court were powerless to resist. ”

"The previous army of 80,000 has been?" The four words of annihilation lingered on Wanying's lips, and finally swallowed it.

"Almost the entire army has been wiped out, and now whether the 50,000 horses of General Chuzhou can withstand our army is the key to winning this battle for the imperial court?"

"Annihilation?" Wanying couldn't believe it, Wanying's family was born in the army, and she knew that the court had always been heavy on military and good soldiers, and the army of the court's descendants was even more brave and invincible. Unexpectedly, in just one or two months, the 80,000 troops of the imperial court were wiped out.

"There is definitely a conspiracy inside, otherwise General Song's combat deployment, how can the rebels find out clearly. Eighty thousand brethren are gone. He You'an said this, and the mist in his eyes turned into a crystal splash.

And the moment Wanying heard the spies, her body suddenly shuddered, and a thought flashed in her mind: Daddy used to have some dealings with Fang Songding. I won't let others suspect it.

"That Fang Songding, You'an vows to take his head and avenge General Song and the 80,000 brothers of the Changsheng Army." The blazing flames in his eyes were intertwined with the sadness that seemed like water and fog just now, and He Youan in front of him was completely two people from before.

"You? What's wrong? ”

"When I think of the brothers who died in battle, my chest hurts." He covered his chest with his hands, completely missing the appearance of the son who had been hanging before. This shocked Wanying's heart.

"Aren't you afraid of such a danger?" Wanying is really a woman, and what she says is all a woman's opinion.

"You're worried about me?" Suddenly, his eyes lit up with joy. Then came the heroic perseverance. "No matter how dangerous it is, you have to go, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. If You'an retires, he is not a descendant of the ever-victorious army. ”

"Are you a descendant of the victorious army? Who are you, General He Weihe? Wanying seemed to have guessed the answer, but she couldn't help but ask.

"It's You'an's father."

"You are the son of General He."

"Do you know my father?"

"Wanying's father was the deputy general under General He, when General He was ordered to tour the west, single-handedly took down the heads of 129 enemy soldiers, and finally died heroically, and did not give in. Who does not know the people of my court? ”

"The victorious army created by my father has suffered a heavy blow, how can You'an do nothing!" His voice was very low, and he suppressed great sadness, but his tone was extremely firm, and he spoke of confidence in victory.

"You have to take care, Wanying will tell the Bodhisattva and let him bless you."

"Really?" He excitedly wanted to grab Wanying's shoulder, and Wanying stepped back again and again.

"You'an is abrupt again. But what you just said, You'an took it to heart. This battle will be won. ”

"Really?" This time, Chang Wanying said this.

"This battle will be won, you wait for You'an to triumph." He took a step forward, this time clutching Wanying's shoulder.

"Waiting for the general's good news." Wan Ying struggled hard, and he let go of his hand in fright. Wanying turned her head and hurried back to her room. A voice came from behind him: "This battle will be won, Wanying, you must wait for me." ”

After running a few steps in a hurry, and when she returned to the room, Wanying's heart was beating suddenly, and it took a long time to recover. The fragrance of the foxtail lily has crept into the corners of the house at this moment. A few transparent drops of water on the lily hung on the tips of the foxtail petals, and the water droplets hung bigger and bigger, and the heavy water droplets were pulled from the circle into a pear shape, and finally after kissing the petals goodbye, they swooped down in a graceful posture and drew a snowflake-like pattern on the ground.

"This flower is not without a little benefit, at least the fragrance is pleasant." Wanying said to herself in her heart.
