The afterglow of the setting sun shone into the Zhengde Hall, and Susukino Sokai stroked the bright gilded dragon chair, looking a little confused.

Lianyi's current Ripple Empress stood beside him and said, "Susukino Kiyuki is about to enter the palace, Your Majesty, hurry up."

"Got it." Susukino Sokai traced the golden dragon on the dragon chair with his fingertips, "What about Jincheng? ”

"I've already sent someone out of the palace first."

"Good" Susukino Sokai turned around and stood outside the Zhengde Hall, and the feather arrows of the green crow crows covered the sky with a touch of red glow, and flew down overwhelmingly.

"Your Majesty, be careful" Lian Yi hugged the back of Sukino Zongqi to meet the rain of arrows in the sky, and then the Tsing Yi man of Sukino Zongqi also rushed out and waved his sword to block.

At the end of the wave, only a dozen or so people in Tsing Yi remained, the palace gate was broken, and the sound of the Beixun army shouting and killing shook the sky.

"Kai-go, you go-" Lianyi's dying voice was drowned out by the shouting of killing, and the hand that raised her hand to caress Susukino Zongqi's cheek fell weakly.

"Feng Shui takes turns, yesterday I shot her, and today ** will come back to me haha, haha-" Desolate laughter echoed in the sky above the Zhengde Hall, and Susukino Zongqi stupidly hugged Lianyi's corpse, "The emperor's dream, the floating light, turn your head to ......"

The two Tsing Yi men in the lead glanced at each other, one of them raised his hand to knock Susukino Sokai unconscious and carried him on his shoulder, and the other commanded the remaining people to move Lian Yi and the corpses of his companions into the Zhengde Hall.

Blazing with flames, the man in Tsing Yi left the Xiyue Palace with Susukino Zongqi.

On the first day of the fifth month, the Beixun army broke through the Tiandu, Emperor Xuande mutiated himself in the Zhengde Palace, and the Empress Dowager Xun hanged herself. King Zhidu was captured alive. This is inseparable from Princess Yizhen's credit, last time the gate of the Tiandu was secretly opened by the Susukino Zongqi, but this time it was Princess Yizhen who sent someone to secretly open the city gate, and the Beixun army would successfully occupy the palace.

In January, the Beixun army pursued the victory and jointly captured the Mohan royal court with the Zhinan army. King Mohan fled to the border of Dahua, but Du Jin, the general soldier of Qizhou, led his troops to intercept him, and King Mohan was killed by an arrow. After the war, the Zhinan and Dahua armies did not withdraw from the Mohan grassland.

On the tenth day of the seventh month, Susukino Kiyuki ascended the throne with the support of the ministers of Xiyue, changed the Yuan Hengchang, and was called Emperor Yongning. King Xin was crowned Prince Longyu, and Huaxi was named Princess Jingxian by Jin. The kings of Zhidu and Mohan were stripped of their princes, demoted to concubines, and their families were exiled to Mobei. Yizhen and Yu Heng separated from each other, and stayed in Tiandu and closed their homes. After a year of war, Xiyue's national strength was empty, and the people were struggling to make a living, Emperor Yongning was forced to be helpless, in order to thank Zhinan and Dahua for their help in suppressing rebellion, the Mohan grassland was divided into three, and the east and west were classified into Dahua and Zhinan.

At this point, the civil strife in the western month ended. After this battle, Xiyue's national strength weakened and could no longer pose a substantial threat to Dahua. The Dahua Emperor has been in power for thirty-five years, and his health is deteriorating, and the undercurrent is surging inward.

Tiandu Longyu Palace.

Huaxi took the beauty hammer and beat Bo Yexin's leg, and Sukino Xin asked: "Huaxi, the saint has already given you a marriage, Ouyang Zheng is here for half a month, it's time for you to go back to Dahua." ”

Huaxi didn't stop in his hand, and replied: "I discussed with Ouyang Zheng yesterday, and I set off on the twentieth, and Xi Xuan and Doctor Hua stayed in the house. I will come back before the New Year and accompany you for the New Year. ”

Susukino Xin coughed lightly, "You better stay in Dahua for the New Year, don't let King Luoxi and the princess say that we don't understand the rules." ”

Huaxi didn't follow, "This year's New Year, you are fighting, and the meal will start before it is finished." In any case, I will accompany my father next year. ”

Susukino Shin closed his eyes and sighed, "It's okay, that dad is waiting for you to come back." ”

On July 20, Huaxi returned to Dahua with Ouyang Zheng. This time, she took Bai Lan and Cui Ming, because she did family affairs for Mu Xi and Fan Yun before leaving, and the couple stayed in Tiandu to prepare for the restoration of Xiangfang.

Passing by Qizhou, Du Jin set up a banquet for Ouyang Zheng and Huaxi to wash the dust, Huaxi couldn't shirk it, and repeatedly asked for a light meal, and finally Du Jin set up a banquet at his own house to invite Huaxi and Ouyang Zheng.

After leaving for more than a year, Huaxi saw Mu Yunlin again. The thin body is like a weak willow, her big eyes have lost their sharpness, and she follows behind the old lady timidly, and she is not the bright and beautiful girl who was flying and domineering before.

It stands to reason that Huaxi and Mu Yunlin are cousins, and they are Du Jin's guests, and Mrs. Du should have given Huaxi a face to let Mu Yunlin take a seat. But the old lady just asked Mu Yunlin to wait on the side, Huaxi didn't see it, but just pretended not to know. When Mrs. Du saw it, she immediately put her mind at ease, she wanted to see if this foreign princess would support her cousin, but she didn't want this to be the result...... The old man was relieved, a smile appeared on his face, and his attitude became more and more humble when he spoke to Huaxi.

Mu Yunlin gritted her teeth and secretly hated, when she looked at Huaxi and Ouyang Zheng sitting side by side, Ouyang Zheng spoke softly, where was there still the cold and serious in the past, and a trace of resentment and jealousy flashed in her eyes. I didn't want to be discovered by the old lady, and the old man coughed, which made Mu Yunlin tremble, and she no longer dared to show such a substantial and vicious gaze.

A table of guests and hosts was happy, and Huaxi and Ouyang Zheng said goodbye and left. Huaxi didn't look at Mu Yunlin when she parted, as for how she will live in the future, it has nothing to do with herself. For some people who don't know what to do, she will never have extra sympathy.

Back at the post house, Huaxi stood in front of the window, Ouyang Zheng stood behind her at some point, holding her arm, Huaxi leaned on his shoulder, "Don't you wonder why I am indifferent to Mu Yunlin's situation?" Do you think I'm too cold? ”

Ouyang Zheng knew a little about the Mu family's affairs, and he didn't have any objections, he just grabbed her shoulders when he left, and said softly: "I know you have your own reasons." ”

Huaxi thought of those people and things in the past, and let out a sigh, "That year, in order to go to your mother's flower viewing party, she united with the seventh sister Mu Yunning to design and cause me to fall into the water......

Ouyang Zheng kissed in the corner of Huaxi's sideburns, "I see, I also said that you deliberately avoided the flower viewing party." ”

Huaxi glanced at him, "I'm afraid you were just planning to find out my identity at that time." ”

"......I don't know," Ouyang Zheng was silent for a moment, "I remember the first time I saw you, you were wearing a cloak of emerald feathers pinched with gold wire, and told me how to choose agarwood through the wooden wall, and my voice was as clear as a spring...... But then you crashed into my arms, didn't you? Perhaps from the moment I chose that string of incense beads from my mother's concubine, I was destined to meet you. ”

"What crashed in, obviously you pulled me ......" Huaxi said that he was a little weak in the back, and it was clearly Ouyang Zheng who saved himself that time. Turning his head to Ouyang Zheng's smiling eyebrows, Huaxi pursed his lips, "I still think you have a premeditated plan......

"Whether you have a heart or not, you didn't become my wife in the end." Ouyang Zheng held Huaxi's hand, "The previous things are in the past, and I won't let you get hurt in the future...... Go to Beijing here, pay homage to your father and mother, and you should go back to Xiyue as soon as possible. Dahua is not very peaceful these days......"

"Okay" Huaxi responded, and neither of them spoke anymore.

Leaning against each other, the moonlight is left, and the shadows behind him gradually merge into one......

The next day, Huaxi left Cui Ming and the princess's honor guard to accompany her, and she and Ouyang Zheng drove Jane Cong, took Bai Lan and ten guards to hurry up, and returned to Shangjing within a month.

August and autumn are crisp, osmanthus is fragrant, and I return to Shangjing again, looking at those familiar streets and familiar shops, Huaxi has a feeling of being in a different world.

The princess's honor guard had not arrived, she had entered Beijing in advance, she had never met Emperor Dahua, and she had not completed the marriage, so it was inconvenient to go to the Luoxi palace to meet first. Huaxi did not go back to Luoxi Palace, but went to Chengfu first, accompanied by Ouyang Zheng.

Mu Xiangqing heard that Huaxi was back, so he ran out to greet him in person.

"Huaxi, you're back." Mu Xiangqing cried with joy, and his voice trembled lightly with excitement.

"Auntie." Huaxi is the same, but she doesn't want the scene of reunion after a long absence to turn into tears, so she stopped her tears, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are getting younger and younger." ”

"Your child is married, and his mouth is sweeter." Mu Xiangqing glanced at Ouyang Zheng and sighed, "I didn't expect that after going around in a circle, the two of you would come together......

"Mother-" A soft and glutinous child's voice sounded, and then a child wearing a blue satin jacket ran over, tugging at Mu Xiangqing's sleeve, revealing half of his little face, and his black eyes swirled around Huaxi, "Who are you?" ”

"Brother Lin-" Huaxi looked at Brother Lin'er's pink little face, and couldn't help but want to go up and pinch it.

Mu Xiangqing pulled him out from behind him, "You shouted for your sister every day at that time, and you haven't seen you for more than a year, why did you forget?" ”

Huaxi said with a smile: "At that time, Brother Lin just knew how to speak, and it was normal for the child to not remember, and it was normal for me not to remember." ”

Brother Lin looked at Huaxi's face, scratched his ears and cheeks and thought about it, and suddenly came to his senses, and shouted at Mu Xiangqing: "Mother, is it my sister?" ”

"Yes," Mu Xiangqing touched his head with a smile, "Don't say hello to my sister and brother-in-law yet." ”

Brother Lin glanced at Ouyang Zheng's cold face, subconsciously shrunk his neck, turned his head and threw himself directly into Huaxi's arms, "Sister, hug"

Mu Xiangqing flicked on Brother Lin's head, "How old is it, and people still hug it?" ”

Brother Lin ignored it and stuck to Huaxi's side, just like she lived in Chengfu more than a year ago.

Huaxi picked up Brother Lin and incense incense on his cheeks, "It's heavy."

Brother Lin has grown up, and her identity has changed, but the only thing she misses is the warmth of this family affection.

Ouyang Zheng looked at Hua Xi who was holding Brother Lin's eyebrows and eyes and Brother Lin who was coquettish in Hua Xi's arms, and a villain who fused himself and her appearance suddenly flashed in his mind, hugging her neck, shouting mother, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl, his eyes softened a little, and he thought that he would be more cute than Brother Lin.

Huaxi didn't know what Ouyang Zheng was thinking at this time, so she played with Brother Lin for a while, and heard Ermen report that Cheng Chong was back. As soon as Brother Lin heard that his father was back, he no longer pestered Huaxi, nor did he deliberately avoid Ouyang Zheng, he saluted the two of them like a little adult and said goodbye, and then ran away.
