With what I know about her, if it weren't for a big event, she would never come to see me in person, not to mention the grievances between me and her, even if it was a relationship with Tianyan, she wouldn't want to deal with me.

She must have had a big thing to say to me today, and she could only say it to me.

"The word virtuous concubine has long ceased to exist, and I hope that the prime minister's wife will not shout anymore."

Zhao Ziyan was stunned when she heard this, and then looked at me meaninglessly for a long time, as if she was hesitating whether to speak, and the contradiction and struggle in her eyes were clearly visible, "Ziyan is here to ask you two things." ”

It was the first time I had ever seen her speak to me in such a low tone.

In the past, Zhao Ziyan didn't always talk to me with her head held high like a peacock, she was the kind of woman who was born with a kind of arrogance, even if she married Tianyan in the end, she didn't bow her head to Xiao Jincheng......

Such a woman must have been forced to the point of no choice before she had to find me......

I took a few steps around the nave, and finally knelt on the cushion and bowed my head silently, waiting for her to follow.

"I hope you can persuade Mu Tianyan that Mo is fighting against my father. At this time, the two countries are in the midst of confrontation, and if the important ministers of the DPRK and China are still hostile to each other, it will be a great disadvantage for a country. ”

Zhao Ziyan's voice was full of worry, and she stepped forward with my steps, slowly knelt on another cushion, and bowed her head with her hands together to worship Maitreya Buddha.

Mu Tianyan...... I have a little doubt about Zhao Ziyan's name for Tianyan, but after all, this is a matter between their husband and wife, so I don't want to ask too much.

"How can you dissuade Prime Minister Mu Cheng?" I chuckled lightly, and when I saw her open mouth, I hurriedly interrupted, "Madame, please tell me the second thing." ”

Her beautiful eyes flowed and gently drifted to my whole body, "I don't know if you know that the Queen Mother once had a lot of private transactions with the Khitan when she was alive, and a large amount of money was hidden by her, and with her death, the money did not know where to go, but now seeing that the Khitan is confident about the war, it is estimated that they must have gotten this more than money, otherwise, how could they be so confident?" But we are physically and mentally exhausted by years of fighting, and our treasury is becoming empty. ”

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

"Now it is my father and Lord Xiao who are fighting on the front line, although they are brave and good at fighting, but one is old after all, and the other is still inexperienced no matter what, I only hope that you can go and buy some time for them, as long as they can take a breath, they can be sure to win this battle."

"Is this what the emperor meant?"

"No, the emperor doesn't know about it at all. Be...... It's the meaning of the father......"

Zhao Ziyan's voice gradually became lower and weaker, but my smile pulled wider, it turned out that my escape into the empty door and seeing through the red dust still couldn't get the peace I wanted.

In this battle for the world, do you still want to pull me in? So what are my years of silence? Sorrowful? Amusing!

"General Zhao is really a pillar of the country! Back then, in front of hundreds of officials in the court, he said that I was a disaster for the country, and that I would bring disaster to the country and the people. And today, instead of fighting the enemy on the front line, he sent a woman and a child of yours to beg me to help him? Jokes, why? ”

I once admired Zhao Zhirui, admired his ability to lead the army, and his loyalty to the king, but his pedantic ideas and ways over the years have shattered all my previous admiration for him.

"You, you misunderstood my father! He never bowed his head easily and begged for others, if it weren't for the righteousness of the world and the people of Li, he would never have said anything even if he died on the battlefield. For example, the safety of the people today is written in the palm of your hand, we all know that you were the concubine of the cousin of the Khitan Khan, and the only concubine of the former Khan, Liancheng Yanping has always loved his late cousin, and in the face of the love of the person he respects the most, he will definitely not embarrass you! If you can come forward, I'm sure ......"

"Why do you think that Liancheng Yanping won't hurt me? You are full of the righteousness of the world and the people of Li, do you have to sacrifice the dignity of a woman for this? "I clenched the rosary in the palm of my hand, and the threads broke and fell, and one by one they fell to the ground with a screeching sound and crackling...... Roll to the ground.

Zhao Ziyan's face was moved for a moment, and her eyes were also covered with a layer of mist, "I know, I have heard a lot of things about you from my father, I know what happened in the years when you disappeared, although I once hoped that you would never appear, but when I saw you sitting next to him again, I realized how ridiculous my thoughts were, how stupid everything I had done!" We're all poor people at the end of the day. I also hesitated when I stepped into the empty hall, and I didn't want to disturb your quiet life at the moment, but there was no way, this world must be unified. ”

"What does the unification of the world have to do with me?" I didn't want to listen to the words of benevolence and morality in her mouth, so I struggled to bounce up from the cushion, my face was a little pale, and my hands and feet were getting cold.

"I always thought you would be a woman who declares righteousness, and I don't feel ashamed to lose to you! But I never thought that your heart would be as cold as ice now. ”

Her words made me laugh maniacally, tears running down my cheeks, "Declare righteousness? I never knew that it would take a woman to stabilize the country. ”

"Virtuous Princess"

"Let your father come and beg me." I sneered.

"You know that he is now on the front line, how can he come to you." Zhao Ziyan was furrowed by my sudden request.

"Ming people don't say dark words, you know better than me where General Zhao is now." How could someone who could command everything in the back and know everything about my current situation not come back to arrange these things.

Seeing Zhao Ziyan's stunned expression, the smile on the corner of my mouth became more and more cold, and I looked at Zhao Ziyan sharply, "Isn't it funny that a dignified general sneakily escaped from the battle, and asked his daughter to come here to beg for help?" ”

Since it is a request for someone, there should be an attitude of asking for someone!

Zhao Ziyan supported her body with a guilty and weak heart, and her face was very pale.

I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect An Huaixin to guess everything! But she was forced to come here to ask for help.

However, when she thought of her father, who was already old with injuries all over her home, Zhao Ziyan opened her mouth again......

"You go, let your father come to me." As if I hadn't seen her open her mouth, I turned around and lifted the curtain and headed into the inner hall.

But as soon as I walked in, I saw Master Jinghui staring at me with complicated eyes.

We were silent for a long time, until a baby's cry suddenly came from outside, and I rushed into Master Jinghui's arms and cried, "Why are people so selfish in the world......

Master Jinghui didn't say anything, just gently patted my back to comfort me.

Master Jinghui and I meditated in the hall, asking each other and being silent for a long time, until the night fell, the heavy rain outside still sprinkled on the ground, and the Buddha beads rolled and scattered in front of us, rolling down and spinning a few times with the wind from time to time.

"I've heard all the conversations you have with the Prime Minister's wife, what are you going to do?" Master Jinghui finally couldn't help but speak

"What do you want to do quietly?" I bent down and picked up the beads one by one, and asked in a voice without any ups and downs.

"We really don't have the right to choose the path for you, but I want to say a word for this world, and I hope you understand the righteousness."

I smiled coldly, I had expected her to say such a thing, reality is reality after all, and I still can't get rid of the tricks of fate after all.

The movements in my hand did not stop day by day, and I gathered the beads in the palm of my hand one by one, "I said, if Liancheng Yanping can be the emperor, he may not be worse than Xiao Jincheng." ”

Her voice suddenly felt a little old and weak, and a sigh came out, "But you are the concubine of the Southern Emperor, and your heart should be towards him." ”

"I don't agree with the master's words, now I am just a Buddhist disciple who is red."

"The hair has not fallen, you are still his virtuous concubine."

I clenched the Buddha beads in my palm and rolled down to the ground again, and suddenly met Master Jinghui's eyes, "Master Jinghui, you once thought that I was a red face and a curse, and I didn't blame you for deliberately trying to pull me into the Buddha's house, because I did do a lot of things wrong at that time. But now, for the sake of this world, you want to push me out so contradictoryly, and you don't even recognize me as a Buddhist disciple, which makes me incomprehensible and ...... Hate you so much. ”

I suddenly bounced up from the cushion, and suddenly rushed out of the empty hall, only a few steps were taken, and there was an old man with slightly white temples standing in the heavy rain, who else could it be if it wasn't Zhao Zhirui?

Did he really come to see me, did he come to beg me?

"Concubine Xian, the minister specially apologizes to you for the things that have always been hostile to you in the first place." The rain had invaded him, and his eyes were even more indistinct, and I couldn't see his true intentions.

"Reparation? I can't see the sincerity of your reparation. I raised my eyebrows and smiled, looking at him through the curtain of rain, but the hand hidden in my sleeve trembled in a fist.

After hearing this, he bent his knees without hesitation and knelt on top of the muddy puddle, "The minister apologizes to Concubine Xian." ”

I stood straight and met him with a heavy kneeling, which they owed me, and since I owed it, I should make amends.

I deserve this kneeling.

"Okay, I'll accept it."

"So, Concubine Xian, you ...... You said yes? He looked at me expectantly.

I didn't smile, but smiled even more presumptuously, "I didn't say yes, this reparation is your willingness." ”

"You!" His face changed and he was about to get angry, but he suppressed the raging anger, "Concubine Xian, you are a kind person......"

"I remember that General Zhao said that I was a scourge in the past, and if I continued to stay with the emperor in the future, the Southern Dynasty would be destroyed, but now he praised me for being a kind person, General Zhao, you have changed really fast."

"Back then, it was the minister who was prejudiced against the virtuous concubine, and the minister was guilty"
