The stone was shocked, and I, Huan Ke, and Zong Zhengxu were all surprised and turned our heads to look at Xiao Xianhui. His face was as usual, but his wrists were bruised: "Back then, the mother concubine was accused of poisoning Wang Gushan. And outsiders believe that the reason is that Wang Gushan was indeed poisoned. ”

Xiao Xianhui's eyes were gloomy, and he looked over: "I have been in the harem of Zhongshu for more than ten years, this kind of trick, can't Yue Mu see through it?" ”

Knowing everything, I was speechless, I could only lower my eyes. Since Wang Gushan was able to poison herself and frame Concubine Qian, she can still accidentally attribute this fetus to other concubines if she is pregnant this time. According to her thoughts, she would not have imagined that once this child was a boy, after birth, it would affect the status of the Wang family, and at worst, it would lead to the collapse of the Wang family. Instead of watching Wang Ren and Xiao Xuan compete to take advantage of this son, it is better for her to take advantage of the opportunity now and use it first. One can bring down the rivals in the palace for favor, and the other is difficult for her to get pregnant, which dispels some of Xiao Xun's vigilance, after all, the three suddenly lost their parents, Xiao Xuan will also comfort her in every way, and it is not impossible to be promoted again.

From beginning to end, she only had to play the role of a loving mother. A little sadness and resentment, how to make people loved, they have long been familiar with their hearts and are perfect.

Knowing that Xiao Xianhui's sad story was aroused again, I put down this letter and picked up the last message about the night. Meng Yehan had already joined Meng Quan at the Lianghong border, and as expected by Huan Ke, he simply set up a banquet to talk about it. When they were talking happily, the assassin suddenly rushed out of the side of the road and went straight to Meng Quan. Meng Yehan fought hard to resist his brother and was seriously injured, and the assassin took advantage of the gap to stab Meng Quan in one fell swoop, and Meng Quan died on the spot. Meng Yehan was so sad and indignant that he killed the assassin and decided to go back to the Fanye Canal to bury the imperial brother first, and then make plans.

"This is a letter from Meng Yehan to you?" I handed the letter to Xiao Xianhui, and Zong Zhengxu shook his head: "This is the letter that Meng Yehan wants to hand over to Emperor Lianghong. How? ”

"Nothing." I chuckled, "I'm just thinking that if this letter is intended to explain to us the whole story, then Meng Yehan has really deceived himself in this scene." In any case, the matter between Meng Yehan and Meng Quan has finally come to an end for the time being, but Liang Hong is only afraid that he will soon urge Pan Ye to send hostages again. If we want to take this opportunity to raise troops, will we be underprepared and too hasty? ”

Leaving my side, Huan Ke walked to the table and sharpened the pen: "Liang Hong asked for hostages from Pan Ye and did not come out of Pan Ye, this can indeed be a reason for raising troops. But as Fu Tan said, it is still not a good opportunity, and if you rush to send troops to Lianghong, you will almost certainly lose. ”

"Therefore, the first thing to be resolved is still the choice of the hostages in the night." Zong Zhengxu took over the words, took the letter in Xiao Xianhui's hand and walked to Huan Ke: "It's just that there are also few princes in the Xiqu harem, and there is really no suitable candidate except for Meng Yehan." ”

"What if you take Yue Mu as a reference and send the Night Emperor Ji to Lianghong?"

Xiao Xian spoke for a long time, and I suddenly remembered my old acquaintance, and hurriedly looked at Zong Zhengxu: "Could it be ...... Do you want Fanjin to go? But before Concubine Shu died, Emperor Fanye personally promised that she would marry Fanjin to you, and the original emperor also favored Fanjin very much. If it is said that Meng Yehan was forced to stay in the night, Fanjin went to Lianghong, but the emperor would definitely not agree. ”

What's more, Fanjin suddenly saw Concubine Shu die, and knew that Zong Zhengxu had never been fond of her, so I don't know how much cynicism she has suffered in the night harem these days. When she is physically and mentally exhausted, if she is sent to Lianghong as a hostage...... It's too pitiful.

Such a bright woman should not bear such a miserable fate.

Gently putting down the brush, Huan Ke raised his eyes and looked at me: "Da Honglu and I originally thought so, but due to many inconveniences, we finally gave up." However, this idea opened up a new way of thinking. It is the night that can send the emperor as a hostage. ”

He smiled slightly: "Fu Tan, isn't it the surname Meng?" ”

"What?" I was shocked, got up in a gaffe, and looked around at the three people in the room: "...... This is too fantastical and incredible. The fake identity of the pan night is easy to create, and the true identity of Liang Hong is difficult to get rid of. What's more, if I go to Lianghong, how many people in the harem of Zhongshu know my appearance. Not to mention the queen and Wang Gushan, it is to be recognized by any palace maid, and the consequences will be ......"

Blinking, I frowned, looked at Huan Ke's increasingly soothing smile, and hesitated: "You are for me to ...... Collect debts from them with your own hands? ”

"This is the crux of your heart, and you have to solve it yourself." Huan Ke's eyes were soft: "As for the identity of Emperor Lianghong, just declare the world, Emperor Lianghong Lingyue has a strong temperament, and Yu Hu Ru committed suicide." The trickiest thing is the ...... looks."

He raised his chin and motioned for me to go see Xiao Xianhui. I turned my head slowly, and looked at the person in front of me every second, raising his right hand and stretching it out under his left ear, and the very crisp cracking sound sounded little by little, but in a few breaths, I looked into the eyes that were as dark as a cold pool, and could only be attributed to Zong Zhengxu.

These eyes, which were close in front of them, seemed as distant as mountains because of the thick fog that swirled in the depths. Among them, there was helplessness, sadness, and sorrow, and I even seemed to see the new rain in the empty mountains that was coming, and I quickly turned my head away.

Xiao Xianhui had also taken off the human skin mask behind him, and approached with a sigh: "This mask can indeed confuse the real with the fake. As long as Yue Mu will cover up his habits a little when he arrives, and don't get too close to them, there should be nothing wrong with them. ”

Pursing my lips and bowing my head, I felt faintly uneasy in my heart, and I found an excuse and left the camp. No wonder I have always felt that Fang Cai's "Xiao Xianhui" is a little strange, the question is inexplicable, the expression is about to speak, and the smile is not in the bottom of the eyes. But it turned out to be ......

I actually told Huan Ke's heart to Zong Zhengxu so bluntly, and Zong Zhengxu confided his heart to me in such a way. And unconsciously, I repeatedly rejected or even denied this affection, and reasoned about people's hearts, which caused him to be so depressed. Although what I said was indeed from the bottom of my heart and I had a clear conscience, I didn't know it like this, and my cold words hurt people, but it really made me feel guilty.

Touching his forehead and sighing, he didn't know where to deal with it, and he didn't know where to untie it, so he heard someone behind him panicked and stumbled.

Before he could see the man's face when he turned around, he knew that it was a medical officer by his clothes, so he rushed to the tent in a hurry. hurriedly walked to follow, but when he reached out to open the curtain, he suddenly stopped his movements, and listened to the frightened tone of the medical officer: "The condition of the infected person has suddenly deteriorated, and ...... Before he knew it, an uninfected child blended in with the sick and exchanged clothes with another child......"

“…… So what? Zong Zhengxu asked a question for a moment, but before the medical officer could answer, Huan Ke's voice was heavy and slow, and it whistled to my ears through the cold and strong wind.

"This epidemic is caused by the infection and infection caused by the wounds on the body of the hard laborers in the Western Wilderness who were not treated in time."

"Since Fu Tan and I are not injured, we can rest assured that we can go and take care of it, and we don't have to worry about the epidemic."

"But if the patient's clothes are put on by a healthy person, and the person who wears them walks around and touches the wounds of others......"

"Western Wilderness," Huan Ke's voice was hoarse, word by word, word by word, "I'm afraid that corpses are all over the field, and it is impossible to escape." ”

The soul is lost, and the soul flies out of the sky, only in an instant. A moment later, I came back to my senses, and the curtain had been lifted. The medical officer kneeling on the ground in the tent, Zong Zhengxu with his hand, and Xiao Xianhui with his back to me, were silent in the room.

Sensing that the momentum of the wind was weakening, I turned around sluggishly, and without looking up, I realized that Huan Ke was standing behind me, shielding me from the cold and stinging, just as I had been shielded from the harsh sun when I walked.

But Cheng Kuo, the saddest death in this world, the most bizarre fate in this world, and the most powerless doom in this world...... We can only face it side by side, looking directly at the blood.

All four medical officers were stationed at the patient's place, and they tried to contain them as much as possible. Huan Ke, Xiao Xianhui, and Zong Zhengxu and I went to the person who was not sick and found the child who had exchanged clothes with the patient.

We don't even have to roll up our sleeves to check, this shabby shirt has already shown all the wounds on the child's body in front of our eyes. The boy looked at us timidly, and seemed to dare not even breathe. I took a deep breath and leaned down to force a smile: "Ada, can you tell my sister why you are changing clothes with others?" ”

"Akang is no one else, a good friend, a best friend." Ada looked innocent and stubborn, stubborn and serious: "His clothes are too torn, I'm afraid he will be cold." ”

"Then you're not afraid of it yourself?" I touched his head, Ada hid shyly, blushing and chuckling: "I'm not afraid!" After going to see Ah Kang, Ah Niang didn't reprimand me when she saw that I was wearing thin clothes, but kept holding me warm for me! In this way, Ah Niang and I are very warm, and Ah Kang is also very warm! ”

"I know Ada shouldn't go to the other side." The woman, who had never spoken, took Ada into her arms and sighed, "I was worried that since he had gone, he had exchanged clothes with Akang, and that there was always something wrong with him, so I kept holding him and did not ask him to run around again." ”

After a long hesitation, the woman continued with a mutter: "Ada...... Isn't it ......"

Speechless for a while, I felt a soreness and tingling in my calves, as if there were countless ants gnawing and biting in my heart. I want to run away.

But—

"It's not just Ada, I'm afraid even you ......" hesitated for a moment before revealing the truth and discernment, Huan Ke helped me up steadily, no matter how calm I was, there was a trace of regret in my eyes: "Actually, you could have ......"

"I'm his aunt." Relieved, helpless, proud, and relieved, such a complex and contradictory smile appeared on the woman's face without any disobedience. She seemed to radiate light: "Even if the world abandons him, I will not abandon him." Even if he does something wrong and has to bear the responsibility, I deserve to share the consequences with him. ”

"I know that if Ada goes there, there is a chance that he will also catch the epidemic. This kid has a good heart and always remembers Akang, which is a good thing. He changed clothes with Akang, and would rather be cold, but I was distressed. Subconsciously, who cares about what infection he has, the first thing is naturally to protect my son warm and comfortable. ”

"There is nothing wrong with you in this kind of thing." The woman smiled kindly and looked at me with moist eyes: "This is the nature of motherhood. ”

"In this world, how can a mother give up her child? Even if he is in danger, he must do his best to take his life and protect him. ”
