When lunch was sent to Fushou Palace, Concubine Zhen was already waiting there.

"It's yellow sunflower with snow plum, hibiscus everywhere in spring, goldfish playing lotus, begonia everything crispy, can't the imperial dining room come up with something fresh?" Concubine Zhen frowned displeasedly: "These dishes have long been used by the Queen Mother." Lei Zhen, you quickly order them to transfer a few better imperial chefs over and do a few more tricks. ”

"Yes, the slave has written it down." Lei Zhen's well-behaved response.

But Concubine Zhen was still not very happy: "Wait for the pastries to be changed to some good ones, don't always deal with so many things." The Queen Mother didn't like it. ”

"Yes, Concubine." Lei Zhen should be neat.

"A lunch for the mourning family made the concubine so bothered, but it made the mourning family unhappy." The Queen Mother came slowly with her attacking hand, and heard Concubine Zhen speak from a distance, with a smile in her eyes. "The appetite of the left and right mourners is not very good, just whatever. This kind of hard work and mobilization will make you bother, concubine. ”

Concubine Zhen saluted the Queen Mother, and then said slowly: "It's all my fault, I am so impatient at this time." It turned out that the Queen Mother's appetite was weaker, and she didn't have a delicious dish, let alone wanted to use it. It's just that the Queen Mother, for the sake of the phoenix's health, you still have to go more. ”

"Okay, let's use some together." The Queen Mother walked in alone. In fact, looking at it like this, it is also full of delicacies.

She thought that Concubine Zhen was upset because King Ruiming's whereabouts were unknown, and the princess was also missing, so she found a reason to vent.

"That's right." Seeing that Concubine Zhen had just picked up the chopsticks, the Queen Mother frowned: "Lao Jiu and her princess have no news yet?" ”

Concubine Zhen sighed lightly and put down her chopsticks: "Isn't it." I just asked in the morning, but there is still no news. ”

When the Queen Mother saw her sad face, she couldn't help but be happy and ate deliciously. "Don't worry too much."

In fact, how not to understand the queen mother's thoughts, Concubine Zhen knew that she just hoped that she would have trouble sleeping and eating, and her heart was tormented.

"You, you will only persuade the mourners to think about your body, why don't you eat it yourself." The Queen Mother smiled slightly: "If you are hungry and thin, Lao Jiu should be distressed when he comes back." attacked and didn't give the concubine a dish. ”

"Thank you for the care of the Queen Mother." Concubine Zhen also laughed with the Queen Mother, picked up the chopsticks and sent a little food to her mouth.

If everything can be seen by the Queen Mother, then what is the point. What she planned was so simple.

When Cen Mu Ning woke up, she was also taken aback.

On the huge wooden shelf, she was bound in a sturdy knot. The foot should be on the firewood that has been put away and sprinkled with kerosene. So much so that the choking smell of kerosene went straight to the nose.

"Who are you?" She didn't scream or struggle, just looked at the people nearby.

Those people were all dressed in uniform, and they were obviously not ordinary people and mountain bandits. If you are not mistaken, it should be the person who fought against Zhuang Chen.

"Go and tell the general, the princess is awake." The man ignored Cen Muning, and only said a word to the little soldier beside him.

Cen Muning vaguely remembered that she was calculated by a person who couldn't see clearly. The man pricked her eyebrow with a needle, and when she woke up, she was here......

Who hated her so much that he handed her over to Zhuang Chen's sworn enemy?

She didn't have to think about it, and the general in the other party's mouth had already appeared in front of her.

That person's posture is promoted, and he does have the Xiong Wei that a general should have. But he didn't look stupid because he was strong, and he was a little calm in his gestures. "The princess is well."

Cen Muning stood on the firewood stack, and there was a slight cold light in his eyes when he looked at him.

Because the stack of wood was higher, the way he looked up was extraordinarily gentle. "It's hard work princess, you should have treated each other with courtesy. It's just that the two armies are at war, and at this time the princess's identity is special, so it can only be like this. ”

As soon as the man spoke, there was a slight apology in his tone.

It made Cen Muning angry. "Dare to ask the general's surname?"

"Cheng Jun."

Cen Muning didn't seem to have heard of this name, and if he looked at the appearance of that person, he should be considered a relatively young general. "If I'm not mistaken, I shouldn't have been invited by you, General Cheng."

"The princess is smart." Cheng Jun did not hide it: "A few days ago, you were thrown outside the camp tent. There is also a letter on you that explains who you are and what you do. So, General Ben had no choice but to do so. ”

"This is Ye Cheng?" Cen Muning was a little incredible.

"yes." Cheng Jun smiled disappreciatively. "Your husband, His Royal Highness King Ruiming, is really resourceful, and he has hurt us so much. Although the affairs on the battlefield should not involve women and children, I should send the princess back to the house as soon as possible. But this time...... It really had to be so. ”

It took a few days to get from the Imperial City to Yecheng, and no matter how fast the Maxima was, it was impossible to arrive immediately.

Could it be that a small silver needle would have kept her unconscious for so long? She doesn't feel anything about running around for days?

Gollum –

The stomach made a sound uncontrollably, and Cen Muning smiled a little embarrassedly.

"It's the fault of the princess, the princess should be hungry." Cheng Jun said to the people around him: "Go find a cook and feed the princess." ”

"Yes."

Cheng Junchong Cen Muning smiled slightly: "The princess can rest assured, as long as King Ruiming returns what we need, I will definitely untie the rope on the princess with my own hands and send you back with my horse." ”

"What if His Royal Highness King Ruiming can't do what you want?" Cen Muning asked curiously.

"Somebody will come with torches." Cheng Jun said without concealment: "When the time comes, you will suffer, princess, maybe I will give you a happy end." ”

"Thank you, General." Cen Muning couldn't say what it felt. But she wanted to know more about who could easily enter and leave the Ruiming Palace, and could send her here unscathed. It is equivalent to talking about the affairs of Ye City, and he knows all the affairs of the Imperial City.

Could it be that it is the Queen Mother......

Now she wants to know even more if Zhuang Yanchen will come to save her.

Yin Li only went up the mountain, avoiding his ears and eyes. Tossing and turning into a hidden cave entrance. "Master, the truth has been discovered, and the person in Cheng Jun's hands is indeed the princess."

Zhuang Yanchen frowned slightly: "Got it." ”

"Master." Yin Li lowered his voice and said: "The princess was tied to the firewood, and Cheng Jun threatened that if he didn't hand over the talisman, he would set the firewood on fire. ...... at the latest. Tomorrow morning before sunrise. ”

"It went according to the original plan." Zhuang Chenchen's voice had no temperature, and his calm face did not show the slightest hesitation.

"Yes." Although Yin Li expected this to be the end, Xin I was still a little unbearable.

After all, the master is the master.

This night, Cheng Jun didn't sleep. Standing alone by the firewood stack and watching the haggard Cen Muning struggle in her half-asleep, she just felt sorry for her.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're going to do it tomorrow morning, right?" Cen Muning woke up groggily and found that he was still standing not far away, so he asked.

"Tianming, the moment the sun rises in the east, if your husband fails to hand over what I want, I will do it." Cheng Jun still didn't hide it. "How? Afraid? ”

"I'm afraid!" Cen Mu nodded sharply: "I'm very afraid." I'm still so young, and I certainly don't want to die. ”

"You're confessing." Cheng Junrao smiled: "Why don't you beg for mercy?" Maybe I'll be soft-hearted. ”

"You won't." Cen Mu Ning said firmly: "If you are soft-hearted, when that person sends me, you will let me go." I guess what you want to get back must be so important that you have to do things you don't want to do against your heart. But even so, you still won't be soft-hearted. A general should not have the kindness of a woman. ”

"Princess Ruiming is probably a god-given confidant." Cheng Jun jumped on the firewood stack and brought the wine in his hand to Cen Muning's lips: "Take a sip and warm your body." ”

Cen Muling didn't refuse, and drank it in a big gulp. It's just that the taste of the wine is so spicy that she frowned.

"If there had been no such war, perhaps the princess and I would have become good friends. It's a pity that you and I are in different camps after all......"

"Don't talk about it, general." Cen Mu smiled faintly: "You and I have our own last resort. If the knife were in my hand at this time, I would have killed you without mercy. ”

Cheng Jun nodded with a smile, tilted his neck and drank a lot of wine. "The princess is quick to talk. But I have a question in my mind. ”

"I'm afraid it's also a question in my heart." Cen Muning knew what he was going to ask.

"Oh?" Cheng Jun couldn't help but be curious: "Even you don't know what choice King Ruiming will make?" ”

"Yes." Cen Muning said frankly: "Even the closest people may not have insight into their sincerity. ”

The father is like this, and the fourth aunt is like this, not to mention Zhuang Chenchen, who is not close at all.

"So, do you want him to come?" Cheng Jun asked again.

"Of course I hope." Cen Mu stared into the distance, and despite the darkness, she still had hope in her heart. "I'm not going to give up until the last minute. There's so much more in the world that I haven't done. It had to be so. ”

"I hope it will be as you wish." Cheng Jun didn't say anything anymore, took off his cloak and draped it over her.

"Tomorrow morning, everything will be a foregone conclusion."

Until the eastern sky, a red light really appeared. There was still no movement in the tent.

Cen Muning was a little disappointed, but she took it for granted. What Zhuang Jinchen wants is that the world is imperial power. What she wants is revenge, it's the truth. They are both attached to their own hearts, and how can they give up for each other.

Thinking so, she didn't blame him anymore.

Mother, I'm sorry, but I still can't get you justice in the end.

Cen Muning watched the soldiers carrying torches hurrying over, and her heart was clear. Death, although not the best ending, ends everything. I hope that Qingli and Bingling can solve the Sui family for her, and there will not be too many regrets.

When the torch landed on the pile of kerosene-doused wood, the flames burst into flames. The blazing firelight illuminated Cen Muning's eyes, reflecting her pale face red.

Cheng Jun only appeared at this time, and he still flew and jumped onto the firewood stack. "Princess, you and I have a word first, if he doesn't come, I will end your suffering."

"Thank you, General Cheng." Cen Muning thought to herself, it must be miserable to be burned to death, so it is better to have a good time.

"I hope that in the next life we can become true confidants. There is no difference in position. Cheng Jun pulled out the saber at his waist and smiled at her. The princess is easy to go. ”
