Fangcheng Barracks.

"General Yu, my subordinates have found out that the emperor has personally escorted the grain and grass to our side, and it will arrive in less than three days, and the edict sent should arrive tomorrow."

Song Jun just came back from outside in a hurry and brought back an exciting news, since he discovered Song Jun's talent, this person is really making the best use of everything, this is really a talent, any news can be heard.

Time flies too fast, in a blink of an eye, it will be the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and there will be two more days before the New Year, and there has already been good news ahead, Nalan Lingyu has won a big victory, and the soldiers are on the way back, but the road is far away and will arrive on the second day of the Lunar New Year at the earliest, which means that he can't accompany himself for the New Year.

"Sister, don't worry, Lord Nalan will come back safely, isn't there already good news coming back from the front." Xia Tingcheng looked at Xia Tingxin and sighed all the time, a little worried about the state of his young lady.

Ah Ling is not coming back, it seems that this year's New Year can only be spent by herself, alas, when she thinks of this, she can't raise any interest, it's really annoying, what is this, it's all to blame Baili Mingyu.

"Can I not worry, Baili Mingyu can assassinate Ah Ling when he goes, and hate him even more when he comes back, Ah Ling will definitely be rewarded when he comes back, do you think he can be willing?"

Xia Tingcheng was silent after listening to her words, what my sister said was right, the emperor would definitely not give up, and he would definitely do his best to kill him this time.

"No, I'm going out of the palace to pick him up." Xia Qian couldn't sit still at the thought of the possibility of losing Nalan Lingyu. When I got up, I was ready to pack my bags and prepare to sneak out of the palace.

"Sister, you can't go, it's Chinese New Year's Eve soon, when the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu will come to the palace to celebrate his birthday together, how can you be absent if you are the mother of a country!" It's too dangerous. ”

Xia Tingcheng grabbed Xia Tingxin's hand to pack up the burden and wanted to stop her from being stupid, but how could Xia Tingxin listen now.

"No, I can't watch this Ah Ling die, I can't do it at all."

Xia Tianxin shook off Xia Tingcheng's hand and continued to pack her clothes, she must leave overnight, she was relieved only when she saw Ah Ling.

"Sister, have you ever thought about what the consequences would have been if Lord Nalan hadn't died, and the emperor found out that you had secretly gone out of the palace to meet him privately?" Xia Qingcheng knew that Lord Nalan would be very dangerous, but as soon as my sister went out like this, it was undoubtedly a solid relationship between the two of them, and at that time, not only would she not be able to save Lord Nalan but she would also beat herself in, she would not let her sister do this.

"But what should I do? Death waiting? Xia Qian stopped the work in his hand and sat on the edge of the bed in a dejected manner, and suddenly found that he was not strong at all, or even incompetent.

When a person has a concern in his heart, he will never be invincible, and he will become flustered when he encounters things related to the other party, Xia Tianxin is such a person.

Xia Tingcheng looked at her uncomfortable appearance and felt uncomfortable, she suddenly thought that her father didn't have a secret guard, and she could let them answer it.

"Sister, doesn't Daddy still have a secret guard? Let them pick up Lord Nalan, Daddy shouldn't refuse, right? ”

That's right, Daddy still has dozens of secret guards, and they will definitely be able to throw off a street of Mingyu for hundreds of miles.

"Dark One, come here."

"The subordinates are here, what do the eldest lady command?"

"You go and tell your dad and ask him to send someone to pick up Ah Ling, okay?" Xia looked at the dark one, and his eyes were full of hope.

Di Yi frowned and disagreed, if Nalan Lingyu couldn't even break such a small trick, she wouldn't be worthy of Miss's liking at all, such a man was too weak to protect Miss, so how could she win the world?

"Don't you want to?" She also knew that her request was excessive, but she still couldn't stop worrying about him.

"It's not that the subordinates are unwilling, the subordinates just think that such a scheme can be avoided by Lord Nalan, doesn't Miss believe in Lord Nalan's strength?"

"That's the case, but I'm still scared that something will happen, so..."

"Eldest sister, have you ever thought that if Hou Ye sends all the secret guards out to pick up Lord Nalan, it will inevitably be exposed at that time, and if the emperor finds some clues along the way, Hou Ye's life will definitely be in danger."

The eldest lady really did not consider this matter properly, and this did all kinds of harm and no benefit.

Yes, if you do this, your father's will be exposed, and if a person with a small belly like Baili Mingyu knows that his father's secret guard is so strong, he will definitely cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

"And what do you think I should do?" There was really no way, so Xia had no choice but to ask for help from the dark one.

"The subordinates think that the young lady can just wait quietly, Nalan Daji has his own natural appearance, and there are tens of thousands of troops around him, even if the people sent by the emperor are powerful, they can't withstand the thousands of troops and horses who have been on the battlefield for a long time. Miss is just a fan of the authorities. ”

Dark One analyzed the current situation unhurriedly, even if this situation was unfavorable to Lord Nalan, it would not hurt his life, at most it was just a little skin injury, but he didn't dare to say this, otherwise he wouldn't have fried the pot if Miss heard it.

After weighing it again and again, Xia can only wait, this is the only way at present, she has to believe that Ah Ling can, in the past few days, Baili Mingyu will definitely test herself again and again, and she must be stable.

Soon Chinese New Year's Eve arrived, the entire palace was brightly lit, the banquet was set up in the Hall of Eternal Life, each official brought his most valued family members to the palace, for a time the entire Hall of Eternal Life Ying Yanyan was not lively, Xia Qingxin sat on the high phoenix chair and was not happy at all, in this day of family celebration, her lover was not around.

"Why is the queen upset? What kind of expression is this? ”

Baili Mingyu looked at Xia Tianxin, who had been in a daze, and a wave of anger rose in her body and mind, what did she mean with an expression of a dead husband on such a good day?

"Huh? The emperor misunderstood the concubine, the concubine just missed her father, and she was inevitably a little worried when she saw that he was not coming. "Hedu is about to start the feast, why hasn't my father come yet? Something can't be wrong, right?

"Hou Yeji will be fine if he has his own natural appearance, it is better for the queen to pay attention to her appearance." Baili Mingyu naturally didn't believe Xia Tianxin's words, and was worried that it would be good to send someone to ask if it would be good to sit here and show it to someone.

Xia Qingxin ignored Baili Mingyu, knowing that no good words could be said from his mouth, but this time his father really didn't arrive, although he didn't get along with him much, but after all, the body is still the original owner's, and this blood connection must have feelings.

"Xiao Lizi, you go to the door of the palace to greet the Hou Ye, and he will report as soon as he arrives."

"Yes, the minion obeys." Xiao Li Zi took the order and hurriedly ran out, the wind and snow outside are so big, it is really freezing to death, I don't know what the reason, this Chinese New Year's Eve actually snowed heavily, but it was cold outside, but the Hall of Eternal Life was very lively, everyone King Xi's own daughter was favored by Baili Mingyu, and since then she has been promoted to become rich and has been on a steady footing.

Xiao Lizi stood at the gate of the palace and walked back and forth, chanting silently: "Hou Ye, come quickly, why hasn't Hou Ye come yet, if you don't come, you will freeze to death." ”

Just when he was chattering, a carriage slowly drove in the distance, and Xiao Lizi saw that it was not Hou Ye's carriage, and finally came.

He quickly ran forward and said, "May I ask but Lord Xiahou has arrived?" ”

Xia Zhan lifted the curtain from the inside, looked at the little eunuch in front of him with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Which palace are you from?" ”

"Back to the Hou Ye, the slave is the little plum of the Feng Xiao Palace, the queen mother saw that you have not arrived, so she let the slave come here to wait, and now I am relieved to see the Hou Ye come to the slave, the Hou Ye and the queen are really in love with women, and the slave has resigned."

Xiao Lizi hurriedly said goodbye and wanted to go back like the queen on an errand, and this matter was considered a success.

Xia Zhan had just come back from outside the city, and he hurriedly returned to the palace after changing his clothes that had just been splashed with blood, who knew that the wind and snow were too big to miss the hour, but he didn't expect to be worried about him, which made him very relieved.

"You go find a place to park, and I'll go into the palace." In order to put his daughter at ease, Xia Zhan got out of the carriage and hurried to the Hall of Eternal Life.

"Back to Niangniang, the Hou Ye is outside the palace gate, and he is rushing to the palace, please rest assured."

"Okay, go down and get your reward." Xia Qian listened to Xiao Lizi's words, and the stone in her heart was finally put down, I don't know why she was restless all day today, and she was always afraid that someone would have an accident, and now her father is back, but I don't know what happened to Ah Ling.

While thinking about it, Xiahou Ye hurriedly entered the main hall.

"See the emperor and the queen, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you if you are late." Xia Zhan knelt in the center of the hall to plead guilty, all these people came, but they didn't arrive, which is a bit too much, but fortunately it's not too late.

Just now, Baili Mingyu thought that Xia Tianxin was lying, but now when she saw that Xia Hou Ye was really late, she glanced at Xia Tianxin strangely, could it be that she was to blame?

"Aiqing, excuse me, the queen was still talking about Aiqing just now, but there was too much snow on the road, except for any accidents?" Baili Mingyu also wanted to ask something else, just set off early in the morning after the wind and snow, what made him late.

Xia Zhan had already guessed that he would ask this question, and he had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Back to the emperor, the old minister met a few little thieves on the way here, but it was no big deal, they were all beaten away by the old minister, but they were dirty, and they didn't expect to be late when they went back to change their clothes."

"Oh? Who is so bold that he dares to do it in Kyoto, and when he comes, he must thoroughly investigate this time to the end, and he must not let Hou Ye be wronged. ”

Baili Mingyu pretended to order the people below to investigate thoroughly, and did not say who would be asked to investigate, so this matter was over.

Xia Tianxin listened to it in shock, she knew that things would definitely not be as easy as her father said, could it be that it was Baili Mingyu's hand again? He has no enmity with his father, how could he do such a thing?

Xia Zhan came in a hurry, and now that the banquet had begun, he didn't have a chance to tell Xia Tianxin the specific situation, so he had to give up, anyway, that kid would come over sooner or later, what else did he worry about.
