Chapter 37: To Each His Own Strategy

The door of the main hall was closed again, and a person walked out from behind the tent, feeling raw, but judging from the dress, he should also be an important member of the imperial court.

"Hear that?" Bei Yuliang also asked, with a little disdain in his eyes.

I slowly put away the tea set on the table, and they didn't avoid me in the slightest from talking.

"What is the emperor going to do?"

Bei Yuliang also tapped the table with his index finger regularly, and replied: "General Ba Wu has already shown his loyalty to me, even if the left minister sends troops, as long as I don't nod, Ba Wu will not send troops, give him a dismount." ”

The minister was apprehensive and hesitated: "What if the remnants of the previous dynasty collude with the Lin State?" ”

"Next to Lin Guo is Liang Guo, as long as he Lin Guo dares, I will let Liang Guo cut off the only way for Lin Guo to trade grain, so that he has no financial resources." Bei Yuliang also said that the bamboo is in the chest.

The minister leaned over, "The emperor is sage!" ”

The tea set has been packed, and the minister has left, so I have to inform Aunt Chongzi as soon as possible, the matter of forming an alliance with Lin Guo is basically not feasible, and I must quickly move my position.

Just as he was about to go out with the tea set, he was stopped by a shout, "What about the apples I asked you to peel?" ”

I almost felt like my head was big, and it was just a joke.

"The slave is stupid, go and cut it immediately." Put down the tea set, wipe your hands with a towel, pick up a knife and start peeling.

I've never understood why you have to peel apples to eat, isn't it good to be straightforward?

The movements of the hands quickened, and the red apple peel continued like a ribbon. I was a little anxious in my heart, and I just wanted to go back quickly and convey the news back to the Dark Night Pavilion as soon as possible, maybe our plan would fall short if we were one step later.

Just thinking about it, his fingers hurt, and the small opening was cut on the index finger, and the blood beads stained the yellow-white flesh, and the blood color was as bright as a normal person, different from the faint rose red that Chen Weiyan saw in the palace last time.

"What's wrong?" Bei Yuliang also noticed my hesitation and asked.

"It's okay, the slave and maid will cut another one for the emperor." I wiped the blood off my sleeve and retrieved an apple from the fruit basket.

"Come here." He beckoned.

I walked over, still holding a knife and an apple in my hand, and he took the knife, took out the silk cloth, cut a narrow one, and carefully wrapped it around my index finger. "Go back and get some medicine, don't touch the water."

"Your Majesty." Fu Shen retired, and when he left, he felt very unnatural.

When I returned to the bedroom, I took out the pottery placed in the corner of the table, blew it gently, and the calm voice sounded slowly.

A gray dove appeared at the window, tied the written note to its leg, and fed it some millet before it flapped its wings and flew into deep space.

I opened the window and lay on the bed, staring at the moon outside and not sleeping.

Lin Guo is the grass on the wall, even if he cooperates with us, it is the wolf's ambition that has his own plans, if he does not cooperate with them, how can the tens of thousands of scattered remnants of the army take back my Liangxi country?

It was almost late at night, and I was half asleep in a daze, and I didn't know where the cold wind blew, and I was directly awakened by freezing. When I opened my eyes, I realized that I had forgotten to close the window, put on my clothes, and when I went to the window to close it, I found that the gray pigeon was sleeping with one foot in the window.

The collar has a note tied to one foot, and the note is taken out, and the ink is in large letters, making a shadow.

Chongzi was asking me about my decision, took out a pen, and lightly wrote a word on the piece of paper - kill.

After letting go of the carrier pigeon, he couldn't sleep anyway, so he simply picked up a book and lit the lamp.

After reading for a long time and staying on the previous page, I couldn't calm down at all.

Get dressed and go out for a walk, the lights in Longcheng Hall are dazzling, why is no one turning off the lights?

Quietly pushed the door open a crack, dodged in, Bei Yuliang was already lying on the table and sleeping, there were many folds piled up on the table, and there was a half-cold tea next to the folds.

Flipping through the folds casually, most of them are talking about the people's suffering, building dams, distributing disaster food, and there are also officials between the imperial court impeaching each other, and Bei Yuliang is also very detailed, and the vermilion small block is dense.

On one side of the stool was a neatly folded little blanket, and he took the blanket to cover him, and his fingers moved slightly, and I thought I had woken him up, and I kept a leaning posture and did not dare to move, and he did not open his eyes for a while.

Relieved, I covered him with peace of mind. He wrapped one of his arms around the cup of tea, and I wanted to move it to the side, so I reached over lightly.

The moment I touched the teacup, my wrist was firmly grasped by him, and my whole body froze in place, neither advancing nor retreating.

Bei Yuliang also opened his eyes in confusion, and it took a long time to react, and he let go of me in embarrassment.

"The slave and maid saw that the lights in the temple were not extinguished...... It's cold in late autumn, and it's going to be dawn soon, so the emperor will go to the couch to rest for a while. "I don't know how to ease the atmosphere, and I said a lot of things that I don't know.

He stood up, perhaps too violently, stroked his forehead and almost fell to the ground, I quickly stepped forward and held him, and when I looked up, he was also looking at me. Suddenly I remembered the scene of falling down from the tree that day, and the moment he caught me, he also looked at each other like this.

helped him to collapse, put down the layers of tents, the candle flame flickered on and off, hazy and blurred.

"Su Jin."

He called my name, but I didn't react for a while, and I hummed.

"If I found you sooner......"

"Your Majesty." I interrupted him, "It's going to be dawn soon, and we'll have to get some rest soon." ”

He leaned sideways and closed his eyes.

Where in the world are there so many ifs, if Liangxi has not been destroyed, I am still pampered and heartless Emperor Dexin, if my mother did not tell me the truth before she died, I would have survived for the rest of my life, but fate has already made its own decision, and we can't change it.

If I hadn't run out of the house so selfishly that year, my mother wouldn't have been caught by the eldest lady and framed to death.

If you think about it too much, it will be uncomfortable, so try not to think about it.

When I put my hand in my sleeve and slowly swayed back to the room, it was already dawn, the light was refracted through the thin clouds, and my piercing eyes were sore and sore, and I would cry if I was not prepared.

There was a little eunuch walking around at the door of the room with his hands in hand, and when I stepped forward and asked, he raised his head, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his face was delicate, which turned out to be like snow.

"Why are you wearing this?"

She smiled, pulled me into the room, closed the door carefully, and then relaxed and sat down on the stool. "I've worked so hard to find this outfit, and I've got you a set."

Taking the package she handed over, it was a set of light orange ordinary Luo skirts, the edges and corners of which had been worn out, not as delicate as the clothes in the palace.

"There is a lantern festival in Linzi Town tonight, so we will sneak out, this set of clothes is inconspicuous, it is worn by a peasant woman." She grinned and grabbed a handful of pastries from the table and stuffed them into her mouth.

"Little ancestor, you are the eldest lady, it is easy to get out of the palace, I am a servant girl, how can it be so easy to get out." I put my clothes back in her arms and said, "It's not safe for you to leave the palace with a few more guards." ”

She was so anxious to stand up, but there were too many things in her mouth to swallow, and she said vaguely for a long time, seeing that I didn't react, she drank a few sips of water before she eased up. "I don't bring it! It's not a parade, put those official shelves! This time I went out, just you, me, and Sister Nata, she came out of Mongolia so far away and was locked up in the palace before she had seen the customs and customs of Beiyan. Besides, we went out quietly, and no one knew anyone, how could there be so much danger? "She sat next to me, pouting." I will ask the emperor to give you half a day off, and say that if you teach me archery, he will definitely agree, so don't worry about it. You, change your clothes, and I'll pick you up at dusk. ”

After saying that, he jumped out without waiting for me to say yes, and when I chased after him, the person was gone.

Ruxue actually moved out of King Ling Ran to intercede with Bei Yuliang, and Bei Yuliang also agreed.

At this time, I was actually looking for an opportunity to go out of the palace and go back to the Dark Night Pavilion, take some medicine, there was no scar on my face to hide, even if I wore a veil, I felt very unsafe, I was always afraid that someone would break it, once it was exposed, it was not as simple as the crime of bullying the king.

Ruxue found a carriage, gray-brown, a little old, and indeed able to hide people's eyes.

Nata was also in the carriage, dressed in the coarse cloth of a peasant woman, and her head was wrapped in cloth, but it did not affect the beauty of her face in the slightest.

The carriage swayed, and with King Ling Ran's token, leaving the palace was really smooth.

Nata was a little excited when she went to a folk town for the first time, poking her head out all the way, and kept asking the coachman when he would arrive.

Although Linzi Town is not far from the Imperial Palace, it still took nearly an hour and a half to get there.

Arrive.

Although it is not yet evening, it is already very lively, people come and go, crowds of people, all kinds of lanterns hang high, and lantern riddles hang at the bottom, waiting for people to guess.

Ruxue bought two bags of osmanthus cakes, ate them all the way, and I haven't been to such a lively place for a long time, and my mood is also happy.

"This flower has not been planted since ancient times, and it will bloom in the middle of winter. It's strange to have no roots and no leaves, and the spring breeze blows back to the sky. Nata paused under a pink lantern and whispered the riddle.

Ruxue chewed the osmanthus cake and said, "This is too simple, isn't it just snowflakes." Her voice was so loud that the face of the boss who came out of the riddle was already half black, so I quickly pulled her away.

I really don't know how the Ministry of Rites Shangshu raised such a simple and likable girl, and it's hard to be with her without making people laugh.

"Eh, look, there are people who sell masks!" Ruxue stuffed the osmanthus cake into my arms and ran to the side of the mask stall, Nata couldn't help but laugh and said, "If only everyone was so happy every day like her." ”

I smiled, only when I was meticulously protected since I was a child would I have such an innocent heart, and I don't know if this is good or bad for Ruxue.
