The queen's head shook like a rattle, and she cried continuously: "I won't hurt you, I really won't hurt you, I want to live, otherwise I would have committed suicide a long time ago." I'm afraid of death, I don't dare to die, and I don't want to be killed by them......"

The little girl cried again, Xiangxiang was a glimmer of life for her, and giving up Xiangxiang was giving up herself. And Xiangxiang also thought about whether the emperor and Jingshu would push more people to sing bitter tricks in front of her if she saved the queen, but those beauties are different from the queen, they can choose how to live in their lives, but the queen is still a child.

"Don't cry, I don't know what will happen in the future, your parents and relatives are gone, and I am also an orphan from nowhere, we are very fateful." Xiangxiang wiped away the queen's tears and said gently, "I can't give you any promise now, but if you are by my side, you can suffer less, and in the days to come, we will live one day at a time." ”

The queen nodded, and asked, "So, can I do anything for you?" ”

Xiangxiang smiled: "It's not good, as long as you don't have the intention of harming me, as for what to do, I'm pregnant, so I don't eat the meals made by the palace maids, I can take care of myself, if you don't dislike it, follow me to eat a bite." ”

The queen hurriedly said guiltily: "Next time the concubine comes to trouble me again, I won't hide behind you, I didn't mean it just now, I'm sorry." ”

Xiangxiang took the queen to sit down in front of the dressing table, and wanted to pull her hair in a bun that was messed up by Jingshu, thinking that Jingshu suddenly stopped her hand, the nervousness and worry that passed from her face for a moment made Xiangxiang have the urge to burst into tears. On the day Concubine Li was killed with a cane, she cried when she watched Jing Shu cover the eyes of the third prince, and today she was sad that Jing Shu did not pull herself roughly.

It's obviously a good thing, but she wants to cry every time, why is she crying? For Jingshu's remaining goodwill, or more than ten years of sisterhood?

"Can I call you sister?" The queen looked at Xiangxiang in the mirror, Xiangxiang was bunning her hair for her, and her small body was wearing a towering bun, which was really inappropriate. The little sister of Jane's Mansion is about the same age as the queen, carefree and pampered, and the queen was originally so happy, but unfortunately fate made people.

"When there's no one, you can call it whatever you like." Xiang Xiang put her hairpin in a bun, and when she saw that the little person in the mirror became energetic, she smiled slightly, "Except for Concubine Xiang, you can call it whatever you want." ”

The little queen said: "Does my sister know the story of Concubine Xiang?" ”

Xiangxiang shook his head and said: "But knowing that Luo Shen Zhen Mi, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi brothers are frying each other, I saw the plaque of the Luo God Temple that day, and I laughed in my heart." ”

As she spoke, she went to wring a handkerchief to wipe away the tears of the queen, and the queen took it by herself and said: "The Mo family has few daughters, and it is rare to have a distant family out of me, and the uncles of the family have taken great pains to teach me, and Empress E's daughter Ying has also heard the story since she was a child." The Banzhu we are talking about is also called Xiangfei Bamboo, but Xiangfei is not a person, but the two concubines of Emperor Shun in the legend, the famous Empress E and Nuying. They were the daughters of Emperor Yao, and after marrying Emperor Shun together, they helped him escape the persecution of his younger brother Xiang and ascend to the throne. Later, Emperor Shun went out on patrol in his later years, died of illness on the way, Empress E and Nuying heard the news and wept bitterly all the way, tears sprinkled in the bamboo forest on the mountain, leaving marks on the bamboo, and then flew into the Xiangjiang River to martyr her husband. ”

Xiangxiang listened and said with a smile: "How did you think of this allusion?" ”

The queen said: "The Xiang concubine in the story helped Emperor Shun get rid of the persecution of his younger brother, but here we are persecuting the younger brother as the elder brother. The little queen's eyes were heavy, and she suddenly grabbed Xiangxiang's hand and said, "Sister, I heard the emperor and the concubine once said that after the tour, let the concubine take you into the palace, and he will take Prince Shuo out of Beijing, and he will kill Prince Shuo outside Beijing." Although you are already in the palace now, the emperor must still want to kill Prince Shuo. Is it that Prince Shuo is dead, and we have no hope? ”

Xiangxiang calmed her excited emotions and said calmly: "My prince will protect himself, and I can't help him even if I break my heart here." We just have to live well, don't worry about anything else, I made a pact with my husband that I must protect myself first at all times, that is the greatest help to him, and now you are too. ”

The queen nodded again and again, although she struggled in despair every day, she even thought about her future, and said to Xiangxiang: "In the future, when we are free, my sister will send me to a reliable nunnery, I want to be with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for a lifetime, for the undead of the Mo family, I carry such memories, only the Buddha can let me get rid of pain." ”

Xiangxiang sighed in her heart, this child still understood what she wanted in addition to crying, but she was struggling in the quagmire, and it was difficult to maintain her life, and she couldn't pursue her spiritual yearning at all. And her idea of becoming a monk is the same as Xi Niang, who also feels that her life in the past 20 years cannot be erased, and she does not have the courage to marry anyone with such memories.

In the palace, Mu Qing calmly discussed the future with Qi Hui, the two of them were single-mindedly how to wait for the opportunity to move, confront Pang Jun and hold the emperor hostage, now they are in the dark, the emperor and Pang Jun are in the light, and Saiong knows whether he is blessed or not, this turn of events has made their plans advance by leaps and bounds. Although many people died in the palace, and two people died in the Jian Mansion in vain, the deceased are gone, and they will try their best to arrange their families properly in the future, and now the most reassuring thing in front of the door is still Xiangxiang.

Mu Qing occasionally mentions Xiangxiang, Qi Hui is always faint, and Qi Hui is also worried about Xi Niang, so it is Mu Qing's turn to be indifferent, and the two gradually stop mentioning each other's hearts, but Qi Hui will hear Mu Qing's subordinates tell his cousin that Xi Niang is fine in the Closed Moon Pavilion, and he knows that Mu Qing is still worried about Xi Niang.

The news came from the palace on this day, saying that Xiangxiang took in the queen to live in the Luo Temple, Shifeng was very worried that Xiangxiang would fall for the bitter tricks of the concubine and the emperor, but Qi Hui knew Xiangxiang, he knew that Xiangxiang would make this decision, there must be her intentions and considerations, now they are separated by a palace wall, they can't take care of each other's affairs, and the only thing they can do now is to fully believe in each other.

And said that Shi Feng brought this news from the palace, and as he was talking, Mu Qing's men returned in a hurry, and they actually sent the news of the border faster than the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion, one of the two keys failed, it seems that someone was killed by a hidden weapon before the first one was opened and failed to retreat, and the other is a thing that made Qi Hui and Shi Feng both cheer up, on the other side of the mountain range, troops are being gathered, and more and stronger and more elite soldiers and horses than the last invasion seem to be able to cross the mountain range at any time and start a war.

Qi Hui's expression was solemn, and he said angrily: "The border defenders have lost a lot of vitality after the last time, and the troops sent to support before have withdrawn, if they attack the border now, they don't need to collapse the mountain range, as long as they can climb over the mountain and open a gap in the defenders' defense line, they can drive straight in." ”

Mu Qing asked, "Who withdrew the reinforcements?" ”

Shi Feng said coldly: "My father." ”

Mu Qingdao: "When we first met, I said something unpleasant to you, and I still mean that now, Shifeng, have you thought about it?" ”

Pang Shifeng smiled coldly: "So many things have happened, do you think I think I'm okay?" ”

Mu Qing said: "Maybe one day, I or Qi Hui will kill your father with my own hands." ”

Shi Feng bowed his head: "His death in your hands is already a creation." ”

Qi Hui signaled Mu Qing not to mention it again, after they separated, Qi Hui and Shi Feng were alone, Shi Feng thought that Qi Hui wanted to comfort him, but before he could speak, Qi Hui said: "You can go and make some arrangements for your family now, Mrs. Pang, your brother and sister-in-law, give them a way out." Mu Qing and you have known each other for a short time, he doesn't think about you, I can understand, and I hope you understand. But in our twenty years of love, your business has always been my business. Paying the price for this country, your father alone is enough, and I think it is better to let him die than to let him live to see how this country can become stronger and richer. But this is all for later, and when the time comes, there will be chaos, and there will be people who vent their anger on your family, and your mother is innocent, and she cannot be humiliated. I don't have anything to do here these days, you can send someone to tell me about the affairs of the palace, go and arrange a place, and give them a way out in the future. ”

Shi Feng was silent, Qi Hui sighed lightly, and did not urge him, but after a while, he heard Shi Feng say: "Since I was a child, my father said that I am not as good as you, and I have hated it in my heart, why am I not as good as you, but the more I grow up, the more calm I become, and now I feel that even if you can never recover your kung fu, or even become a waste, I will not be better than you." ”

Qi Hui smiled: "What are you talking about, how did you start learning Jian Feng, mother-in-law?" ”

Shi Feng had red eyes and stretched out his fist towards Qi Hui: "In this life, I am worth it." ”

Qi Hui also stretched out his fist and said with a smile: "Lighter, I don't have the strength now." ”

The two fists are against each other, touching tacit understanding, trust, and affection, it is often said that troubled times create heroes, and brotherhood in troubled times is also precious.

When Shifeng left on this day, he said to Qi Hui: "When you are free, go into the palace to see Xiangxiang, there is that little queen here, but there is an extra cover, Mu Qing's people don't need you to be bad, you don't leave Xiangxiang there and don't ask, even if you let her look at you, it's fine." ”

Qi Hui said: "In addition, I will also go to see him openly, there is something to report to the court tomorrow, and you will hand it over for me in the morning." ”

Shi Feng was puzzled, Qi Hui pointed to the drawer and asked him to take out the recital, Shi Feng hurriedly glanced at it a few times, and said in surprise: "Do you want to correct the name of the Mu family?" ”

Qi Hui said: "It's best at this time, let Mu Qing stand in front of me as the Mu family, and I just need to be a 'waste person' with limited mobility." ”
