This year's New Year is particularly lonely compared to previous years, and due to the Jiang family and the border war, Nan Jingpei is not in the mood to celebrate. only asked Su Zhaoyi to organize a small family banquet, although there was a small new member during the banquet, but it did not bring much joy to the heavy people.

The only happy event was that during the banquet, the emperor thanked Su Zhaoyi for her meritorious service in protecting the imperial heir, and promoted her to the position of concubine, and asked Su Zhaoyi to take the daughter left by Concubine Shu to her palace to raise.

Because it is the root of the year, there are a lot of things to be busy in the palace, and the virtuous concubine is already the daughter of a self-committed criminal minister, so the funeral is also simple. According to the ancestral system of palace rules, the deceased concubine should have two words as a nickname, what filial piety, what Wenhui, it has always been so.

If you meet someone the emperor loves, you may be able to get a four-word or even six-character nickname. But Concubine Jiang Xian's identity is special, and it is already a special grace to be buried as a concubine, not to mention a few words of nickname.

Nan Jingpei pondered for a long time, only mentioned the pen of the lake, and wrote down the word "mourning".

Without the Jiang family as an internal response, an army hastily assembled by King Xin became blind in an instant, and was defeated and retreated by the Su family's army. When King Tieli and King Khurdu saw that King Xin was gone, they were immediately reluctant to continue to follow, and the army fell apart almost in a day and night.

The two tribal kings of the Northern Han continued to the north with their remnants and hid in the Nuer grassland north of the Ding'an River.

As soon as they left, the original 100,000 troops were left with only King Xin's own 10,000 personal soldiers. This is all his family wealth, but in the end, it is less than one-tenth of the emperor's garrison.

The Su family army fought in a very orderly manner, and was rushed by this well-trained army, and the 10,000 cavalry of King Xin were suddenly rushed into two, and he knew that the enemy could not be beaten, so he led the crowd to flee. Naturally, the Su family army would not let him go easily, and after a day and night of fierce fighting, King Xin only led more than ten cavalry to break through the encirclement of the Su family army and disappeared into the busy Gobi steppe.

Although the war was not large, it was the first great victory the emperor had experienced since he ascended the throne. The emperor was very happy, so he rewarded his deeds according to the old calendar. Seeing the powerful Tieli King and the Khurdu King fleeing, the tribal kings of the Northern Han surrendered one after another, and the northern border was temporarily stable.

It is another triennial draft, and according to the rules, it should be organized by Shen Yunzhen and Concubine Su De personally. Nan Jingpei didn't have much interest in this, and didn't want to come and see it in person, so he just asked Donglai to come over and take a look on his behalf.

The show girls in this palace are like clouds, all of them are so outstanding, Shen Yun really doesn't understand this, but Concubine Su De chose from the side. Whenever Concubine Su De saw it, she quietly asked Shen Yunzhen: "Sister, how about this?" ”

Shen Yunzhen looked at a dignified and beautiful woman in front of her with a smile, and whispered to Concubine Su De: "Sister's vision is good, it's still my sister who chooses." ”

Concubine Su De has some selfish intentions, so although the selected show girl is beautiful, she is far inferior to her.

Shen Yunzhen gave birth to a child by herself, and she felt that her body was not as good as before, although it was April now, she still felt faintly cold on her body after sitting for a long time.

She glanced back at Liu Eryue and saw that she was not wearing any clothes. But at this time, the show girls were already kneeling in front of her, and she couldn't get up to leave, so she could only sit reluctantly.

The palace maid intimately served a cup of slightly hot Qi Hong, she took a sip of it warmly, and felt a warm current slip through her throat.

The palace maid did not leave, quietly holding a mahogany tray beside her, and said, "Niangniang, are you still used to eating this tea?" ”

She frowned slightly, she just wanted to keep warm. Hearing the palace maid's question, she noticed the taste of the tea.

This tea is not good, there is a slight tide taste, it is an old tea of the old year.

She only glanced at the palace maid lightly and said, "It's okay." ”

She only glanced at it, but she felt something strange, and she turned her head to take a closer look, and the palace maid had disappeared into the crowd with the tray.

At the same time, I heard Concubine Su De ask her: "Sister, do you think this show girl is good?" ”

Seeing that Su Zhaoyi was looking at her with a smile, she followed Su Zhaoyi's gaze.

The woman in front of her was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and her face was childish. On the head, there are two butterfly hairpins dotted with jade and jade, one on the left and one on the right, on the sideburns. A tender yellow blouse with a moon-white skirt, and a piece of mutton fat and white jade safety buckle tied around her neck, she was completely dressed as a boudoir daughter.

"What's your name?" She asked.

"Courtier's daughter Yuyin." The girl's voice was delicate, but very soft.

Concubine Su De said with a smile: "Xu Yuyin, her father is Xu Yongchang, the prince of Dingguo, who has just been rewarded by the emperor. This child has the best temperament, a clean family background, is the daughter of the family, and is well-versed in literature and ink. ”

Shen Yunzhen stared at Concubine Su De, remembering that the newly rewarded Xu Yongchang was her uncle, and this woman wanted to be her cousin.

Shen Yunzhen smiled: "I think it's very good, since I am General Xu's daughter, you and I can't treat you badly." Others agreed to enter the palace, and I think this Yuyin girl can be a nobleman. ”

Concubine Su De, she also knew that Shen Yun was really selling her affection, and although she was grateful in her heart, she didn't say it directly. This kind of thing, in the end, can be called eating a small stove, and she is not good at yelling everywhere.

"Xu Guiren, haven't you ever thanked Concubine Chen?" Concubine Su De turned to look at Xu Yuyin.

Xu Yuyin bowed down and bowed, and said softly: "The courtier, Concubine Xie Chen, is very loving. ”

She drank half a cup of tea, but she still felt cold. Shen Yunzhen said softly to Concubine Su De: "Sister sit down for a while, I'll go change my clothes." ”

Shen Yunzhen got up and left his position, and helped Liu Eryue's hand out of the main hall of Ni Yun Pavilion. Although it is only April, the willow branches in the palace have already sprouted tender yellow sprouts. Some of the new flowers have also shown buds, some are still flower bones, and some are already half-open.

She hissed and said to Liu February: "Don't you feel a little cold? ”

Liu February, she was stunned for a moment, she only felt a warmth, but she didn't feel cold, she knew that she was weak after giving birth, and she had not fully recovered.

"Master, if the slave maid goes back to Concubine De, you will still rest in the palace in the afternoon, right?"

Shen Yunzhen smiled slightly, where is she so squeamish? When he returned to the palace, he hurriedly added a silk robe and was about to go out. But I saw the nurse in the palace, Ah Ruo, holding the child in one hand and holding a letter in the other.

"Master, a little palace maid just sent a letter."

Liu February's took it and couldn't help but be stunned: "Master, look, why is there no word in this envelope?" ”

She was also a little surprised, and took the envelope to take a look.

The letterhead is also a little strange, a thin piece of Xue Tao's note, open it, but there is not a word. There was a faint cold fragrance on the letterhead, like the smell of plum blossoms.

"Why are there no words?" Liu February's surprise took it.

She thought it was a secret letter, and when she roasted it over a fire or soaked it in water, the handwriting on the letterhead would be revealed. But she tried them one by one, but not half a word appeared on the letterhead.

"It's amazing." She muttered and stuffed the letter back into the letterhead, and asked Arro, "Do you see the person who sent the letter?" ”

Ah Ruo nodded: "I saw it, but I saw it, but I felt that I was alive." ”

Liu February's frowns and said, "Don't bring these inexplicable things to Niangniang in the future." ”

Ah Ruo answered, and when she saw the child crying again, she had to groan and take the child out and coax her.

Liu Eryue stroked Shen Yunzhen's hand and said, "Master, should we still go?" ”

Shen Yun really nodded, but she felt a little itchy in her throat, she covered her mouth and coughed a few times, and then felt that she coughed up a little fishy sweetness.

When the veil was unfolded, there were a few drops of red blood.

She couldn't help but be shocked.

Liu Eryue snatched the veil and looked at it, but he was also flustered, and said: "The master should rest in the palace, and the slave and maid will go and call the imperial doctor." ”

She had just nodded, but she coughed violently a few times, and then the blood could not stop vomiting.

Liu February's startled and hurriedly went to help her, while shouting: "Qingluo, go and ask Imperial Doctor Wang!" ”

It was as if there was a fire burning in his chest, and every time he coughed, he would vomit a mouthful of blood.

Nanjingpei's heart was shocked, she had just given birth to a child, and her body had not fully recovered, how could she withstand this? Vomiting blood in such a mouthful is as if he wants to vomit all the blood in his body.

Wang Pintang checked the pulse and only said that she was poisoned, as for what kind of poison, Wang Pintang couldn't say it for a while. I had to follow her Shen family's Ten Absolute Soup, which can cure all kinds of poisons, and fry it, and the symptoms of vomiting blood were slightly reduced, but I still coughed.

Nan Jingpei's face was gloomy, and he stared at Ah Ruo: "If you are asked to identify them one by one, you may be able to find the palace maid who delivered the letter?" ”

Ah Ruo's eyebrows twisted into a Sichuan character, and nodded timidly.

But the women in this palace don't say tens of thousands, but thousands, Ah Ruo looked at them one by one, only to feel that the sea of people was vast, and she was dazzled by it, and she couldn't recognize it anymore.

Wang Pintang couldn't cure this poison, so he had to use the Shen family's ten absolute soups to suppress the poison. The emperor issued a death order for him to find the antidote within three days, but this was just a nonsense between the emperor's urgency, and it was not easy to achieve.

Nan Jingpei hugged her, her heart hurt like a knife, she helped her back, rubbed it gently, and tried her best to make her cough less. Every time he vomited a mouthful of blood, he borrowed it with a veil. The blood spat out the handkerchief one by one, and Nan Jingpei's heart almost shattered.

In the past, he always believed in himself, thinking that no one in this world could control fate except himself, but now, he had to doubt right and wrong. guessed that he was too tough in power and committed something that hurt heaven and reason, so God sent a crime to punish his beloved.

Sometimes Shen Yunzhen woke up from his slumber, and he could hear him chattering beside him, begging the Bodhisattva to punish him alone. I don't know who reminded me that Baoxiang Temple is the royal temple of Daqi, and the Buddha there is the most effective.

He is also sick and rushes to the doctor, and his concern is chaotic. After pondering alone all night, he sat up suddenly at dawn and said to Donglai: "Tomorrow I will be exempted from the early dynasty, and I will go to Baoxiang Temple." ”
