242 Restlessness in the Sun (Three Watches
Qi Hui answered, and brought some salutes to the table to clean up, Mu Yin entered the door and saw that he was doing this, and he wanted to help, the girl was more detailed, Qi Hui put away his hand and watched her do it on the side.
Mu Yin did a decent job, but she was still modest: "I'm not as thoughtful as my sister-in-law, if my cousin lacks something, I'll buy it along the way and make up for it." ”
Qi Hui said that it was enough, but asked, "Come to me for something?" ”
Mu Yin knotted the furoshiki, lowered her eyes and said, "When will my cousin let me keep up with you, half a month?" One month? ”
Qi Hui said: "It always takes these times, the three of us have to meet, after getting rid of Pang Jun, Shi Feng will replace his father, and there are many things, the emperor's side, we must also think of appeasement first." You can wait at home with peace of mind, I promised to let you go to the battlefield, and I will definitely come to pick you up. Aren't there still some clansmen in the Mu family over there, when the time comes, you and Mu Qing will discuss how to arrange it. ”
Mu Yin listened to them one by one, but fell into her own contemplation, or Qi Hui asked her: "What are you worried about, worried about your sister-in-law?" ”
"My sister-in-law has been worried." Mu Yin said, pursed her lips again, and said, "Cousin, Jian Feng wants to stay here until you come to pick me up?" ”
Qi Hui sounded, Mu Yin came to him as if he had just said the point at this moment, seeing Mu Yin's face flushed slightly, he seemed to understand something, and he didn't want to break the girl's mind to embarrass her, so he simply responded: "He will occasionally go back to Jian's Mansion and come and go freely, this is how you did it before you came, is there anything wrong?" ”
Mu Yin thought for a while and said softly: "It's nothing, you have to leave, I'll ask what to do at home, and my brother and I have already discussed, when the world is stable, I will take the Mu family who was picked up from the other side of the mountain and leave the capital to return to the birthplace of the Mu family." But that's all for later, just tell my cousin first, and you don't have to worry about my business when the time comes. ”
Qi Hui knew that Mu Yin had always been assertive, but when he suddenly heard that she was going to leave the capital in the future, he was inevitably a little surprised, but he smiled: "In the future, the imperial capital will be changed, it is too early to say anything now, and then I will talk about it, you can wait for me at home with peace of mind, but in case we can't come back......"
Mu Yin's heart tightened, but she saw her cousin say calmly: "There are enough masters in the family to enter and leave the palace, in case we can't come back, Jian Feng will rescue Xiangxiang from the palace with them, and Jian Mansion will follow the path of the Mu family twenty years ago and disappear from here." Mu Yin, take care of Xiangxiang for me when the time comes. ”
"Jian's Mansion is also going to disappear, then the Mu family?"
"This is the worst plan, when the emperor can't keep it, he won't be embarrassed by Xiangxiang, and when Pang Jun rushes back to the capital, the people of Jianfu will almost go." Qi Hui piled up the things he had packed up and smiled at Mu Yin, "Don't be afraid, your sister-in-law also knows these things, and after taking this road, we can only go down fearlessly." ”
Mu Yin frowned slightly, what was she thinking, everyone was running for the world, even the sister-in-law who was under house arrest was working silently, but she was troubled by some children's affection.
Qi Hui saw that her expression was becoming more and more entangled, and she was even more reluctant to break it, so she persuaded Mu Yin to go back: "Go and rest early, recuperate, there are more things waiting for you and me." ”
Mu Yin nodded, as if she had made up her mind, and then withdrew from her cousin's bedroom, who knew that when she walked out, she saw Jian Feng dangling over with a lantern, and when she saw him from afar, she beckoned and asked, "Is your brother asleep, I'll talk to him." ”
"Not yet." Mu Yin's heart was shaken because of the sudden appearance of the person in her heart, she simply put down three words, and ran away in a hurry, Jian Feng carried a lantern to watch her pass by like a gust of wind, and shook her head gently, "This person still feels weird." ”
Early the next morning, Qi Hui got the news that the emperor was approaching the imperial capital, and Pang Jun did not make a move on the emperor and let him return safely. But on this trip, the emperor saw the momentum of the mighty army with his own eyes, and he understood that Pang Jun had almost withdrawn all the country's troops, and he returned to the capital, in fact, it was no different from sitting and waiting to be killed. Now his last hope is in those ministers who oppose Pang Jun, after all, in addition to Qi Hui and a few people, there are many people in the court who want to destroy Pang Jun, if one of them can do it, then the dragon chair under his seat can be saved.
The emperor was the crown prince, suppressed for more than 20 years, and tried every means to gather enough power for himself to kill the king, but after he ascended the throne, he failed to develop his power well and quickly, and even destroyed his maternal grandfather's family, and now he regrets it, it's too late.
The holy car returned to the imperial city in the evening, the sound of horses' hooves and wheels echoed in the empty court, when he got off the car to change the sedan chair, a cronies rushed to report the recent events, the emperor naturally also knew that the queen almost drowned yesterday, sat in the sedan chair, and ordered people to go directly to the Luo Temple.
Here, Xiangxiang knew that the emperor had entered the palace, she had put away her sewn clothes, moved a small kang table to play with the queen on the sickbed, she would not go to welcome the emperor into the door, when she heard the movement outside, she held the queen's hand and signaled her not to panic.
The emperor broke into the door, and just saw Xiangxiang get up, she stood by the bed, and would never come up to greet her, and couldn't help but freeze the emperor's footsteps.
"I'm back." The emperor said.
"Yes." Xiangxiang owes his chest to his body, just this one word.
The emperor's eyes trembled, and he asked again: "How can the empress drown, does it matter?" ”
"The concubine is fine, let the emperor worry, the crime deserves death." The little queen said this in a trembling voice, and then kowtowed on the bed and buried her face in the quilt.
"It's okay." The emperor was cold, and his eyes remained on Xiangxiang. The lights had been lit in the room, and the light coming from all sides made the contours of her face more and more obvious, but the bright and soft lines looked stiff because of indifference, especially after touching her hand by the lake that day, the unapproachable boundary around Xiangxiang was getting bigger and bigger.
"Rest early, and if you play chess, light a few more candles." In the end, the emperor only said that, and did not approach them, but turned and left in front of the door.
Xiangxiang's heart was relieved, and he said to the trembling queen: "Don't be afraid, the emperor is gone." ”
On this side, the emperor strode straight to the Longevity Palace, the sky was getting darker and darker, but the lights inside and outside the Longevity Palace were bright, Jingshu was waiting in front of the door in a bewitching and gorgeous skirt, and when she saw the emperor, she smiled like a flower.
Entering the door, the emperor only stretched his arms slightly, and Jing Shu stepped forward to untie his wide clothes, and the comfortable and clean clothes had been put aside, waiting for the emperor to replace them. When he sat down, he no longer carried the dust on the road, and the hot tea was delivered to him, and the elegant tea fragrance was refreshing, but he was feeling comfortable, Jingshu approached, and a burst of fat powder aroma disturbed the tranquility of the tea fragrance.
"Fuck off." The emperor was suddenly angry, which startled Jingshu, who was holding a snack, and retreated again and again.
But the fat powder diffused in the air can't be dispersed, and the fragrance of tea can't return to the charm just now, the emperor remembered Xiangxiang's calm and peaceful, but in his bones was a look of contempt for himself, he was furious for a while, and waved his hand to push the tea cup on the table to the ground.
The sound of shattering shook Jingshu's heartbreak, she was ready, the emperor would torture her for the sake of the queen for Xiangxiang, but this torture did not come for a long time, she was not at ease, and now the emperor's nameless fire, she didn't know how to explain it.
It took a long time before the emperor said in a deep voice: "When Pang Jun forces the palace one day, where will I go, and where are you going?" ”
Jingshu lowered her eyes and said, "Life or death, and listen to the emperor's arrangement." But in her heart, she really didn't know.
In a blink of an eye, it has been two days since the holy car returned to the palace, and the imperial city has been up and down for two days, but it is as peaceful as when the holy car is not there, although the early dynasty is the same, but the prime minister is not there, and he has taken away many civil and military ministers, the court will be deserted, they can't do important things, and the important things are distressing, and the emperor coped with it for two days, and finally got tired of it.
On the third day, he hugged the beauty on the couch, and waited outside and inside to ask the emperor to get up. In fact, the emperor has long been sober, he is determined not to go to the court today, and he wants to cancel the court meeting, but he wakes up earlier than ever. But as if he had foreseen something big about to happen, when the chamberlain received the order to leave, he came and turned over and pressed the woman beside him under him, and there was an impatient sound outside the door.
"I didn't mean ......"
"Your Majesty, the military situation of eight hundred miles is urgent, and two cities have been lost on the border in a row."
The emperor was riding on the body of the beauty, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but sit down on the bed heavily. The beauty under her was so frightened that she quietly climbed out of bed, but until she escaped from the dormitory wrapped in clothes, the emperor did not move.
And on this day, Qi Hui had been traveling day and night, almost catching up with the team in front, but he received a message from Pang Shifeng that his father was in the middle of the people he was following. Naturally, Mu Qing also got the news, Qi Hui turned around and happened to meet Mu Qing on the way to Shifeng, Mu Qing couldn't help but laugh when he saw him: "I wanted to arrive earlier than you, and I directly took Pang Jun's head, it seems that we have to discuss." ”
Pang Jun is the enemy who directly harmed the Mu family and disappeared for 20 years, Mu Qing is not surprised to kill the red-eyed Qi Hui, for Qi Hui, Pang Jun is also the murderer who killed their mother and son, Pang Jun is indeed not a pity to die. But they still have to be with Shi Feng for a lifetime, and at this moment, he still hopes to hand over Pang Jun's life and death to Shi Feng.
Qi Hui smiled, and said in almost the same tone as Xiangxiang who was far away in the deep palace of the capital: "Get close to Pang Jun first." ”
The two of them took the people and horses to meet Shifeng, and in the days when they were on the road, the capital was a cloudless sunny day, and there was not even a trace of wind, but it should have been the season of spring and the recovery of all things in the earth, but the imperial city under the sun was even more desolate, and everyone felt uneasy, what was the uneasiness, and it was not just for the border to lose two cities.
In the Luo Temple, Xiangxiang's wedding dress was made, she stood in front of the mirror, put on the clothes, the little queen pushed open the window, and the warm sunlight outside the window poured in, falling on the auspicious clouds embroidered with gold thread.
