A second to remember, for you. "Niangniang, if" Qingya's words were difficult, but she had already decided that there was no hope in her heart, and in the past few days, more detailed descriptions of what happened on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival had come from the front again, and Qingya couldn't convince herself that under such circumstances, the emperor could continue to live.

Min'er shook her head stiffly: "Qingya, if you don't believe in yourself, you have to believe me."

Qingya tightened her sad face and said bitterly: "But Niangniang, why didn't General Shen come back, why didn't he come back?"

Not only Qingya doesn't understand, but Min'er doesn't understand either, everyone doesn't understand. The person who should return to the capital at such a time, or go to the front line, is none other than Shen Zhe, but he stubbornly refused to leave Qiangshui Pass, even if Danxin Nanban took advantage of the weakness to enter, leaving the army and generals, it was more than enough to deal with the backward Nanban. But he ignored the queen's will, and said that he would not obey the new king's orders until the emperor died.

Min'er last saw Shen Zhe in Pingshan, the man who had experienced vicissitudes and was no longer as good as a pink-faced jade carving, had responsibilities and responsibilities on his shoulders, and was more reliable and powerful than when Yuanzhou saw him at first sight. But Min'er can't explain everything that is happening now, Shen Zhe's wife and children, his aunt, and everyone who is closely related to him are here, and he doesn't care about them?

"Mama, look there's someone there." Suddenly, the little palace maid beside her came forward to remind Qingya, Qingya looked in the direction they were pointing, and saw Lin Zhaoyi standing there awkwardly with several palace maids, they seemed to be covering something, but they still revealed the different colored skirts of the people behind them.

Min'er knew that the palace was not peaceful these days, she didn't have the strength or heart to scold the concubines, and some of the people who kept to themselves were afraid of chilling people's hearts when they were reprimanded, but when the matter came to the front, it was just a warning to others, so she glanced at Qingya and motioned for Qingya to ask what was going on.

Over there, Lin Zhaoyi was at a loss when she saw Qingya coming, but she also tried her best to support the posture of the imperial concubine, and said to Qingya: "You don't have to come over, I'll go and say hello to the queen."

Qingya glanced behind her, it was Lin Zhaoyi's mother and sister-in-law, but the two of them were not very generous, and then looked carefully, the maids who followed them, each carrying a lot of baggage in their hands, the burden was tightly wrapped, and no one knew what was hidden inside.

Qingya smiled bitterly in her heart, such a scene has not been seen for more than ten years.

She once described to the queen that more than ten years ago, when Xiang Ye, the king of Jizhou, led the troops all the way to the capital, there was often such a situation in the panicked palace, and the concubines secretly sent their bodies out of the palace, and even sent themselves out. At that time, Qingya followed Zhou Huai and other sisters to guard between the Qingming Pavilion and the Xuanzheng Palace, they didn't leave, and they really looked at Emperor Jianguang's little child too pitiful.

It has only been settled for many years, and such a situation has reappeared.

"The queen mother knows that Zhaoyi Niangniang you want to go to salute, specially ordered the slave maid to come, I heard that Niangniang invited the ladies and young ladies of the house to meet in the palace today, Niangniang said that she has no time to do now, and she has the opportunity to entertain you again in the future, and please ask the lady and the young lady not to be restrained." Qingya said these words politely, which made Lin Zhaoyi relax, but she didn't dare to be careless, and insisted that after asking the queen to leave, she walked away with her family.

Min'er waited for Qingya to come over, and after listening to her simple explanation, she knew that Qingya's arrangement had her purpose, so she didn't pursue it anymore, and left surrounded by everyone.

In this compartment, Lin Zhaoyi breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly said to the family behind him: "Send things out, it's not a way to stay with me, who knows what will happen later, you tell your father and brother, if the capital turns upside down, remember to come and pick me up."

Mrs. Lin said yes again and again, they immediately walked towards the outside of the palace, Lin Zhaoyi reluctantly followed half the way, and when they parted, her mother said suspiciously: "Niangniang, I just saw the posture of the queen's mother, it seems that something is wrong."

The Lin family has never experienced childbirth, how can I know what happened above, but I heard my mother say: "The queen's appearance and breath look like she is pregnant, although the clothes are wide and you can't see the waist and abdomen, but the temperament of the whole body is not just as simple as grieving for the emperor, you must pay attention to it."

Lin Zhaoyi sighed: "It's been a few months, I haven't heard of this, where did she get pregnant?"

However, the time was not early, she couldn't stay with her family for a long time, so she ordered the palace maid to send them out safely, and when she returned with her mother's words, she met the concubine Shugui who had retired from the Longevity Palace. Compared with the queen, Concubine Shugui's spirit is too bad, and after a few days of hard work, the whole person seems to have lost a lot of weight, and maybe she is no longer young, even her cheeks are so thin that she is sunken, and it is difficult to see her former appearance again.

"Mother's luck." Lin Zhaoyi stepped forward to say goodbye, and her eyes were teary as soon as she spoke.

Concubine Shu said annoyingly: "The queen mother has ordered her not to cry and cry, what are you doing here, do you want to harm me?" I really can't help it, so I go back to your palace and hide so that no one cares about you. Don't add any more to the mess, just when I beg you, these days"

She couldn't finish her words, people who got up early and didn't have an appetite to eat, and people who didn't eat much for a few days, couldn't support their physical strength at this time, leaned on Er Zhen, and said to the Lin family: "If you want everyone to be peaceful, I just ask you to live in peace, although the emperor is not good to you, but he has never treated you badly, and you are not missing a copper plate for glory and wealth, for the sake of this, you take care of yourself, and also take care of other people for me."

"No, Niangniang, I am" Lin Zhaoyi wanted to tell her mother's words to Concubine Shu, so that she could also pay attention to see what was going on, but Concubine Shugui was so irritable that she waved her hand again and again after listening to half a sentence, and said annoyingly, "Enough, you go back and rest, I don't want to hear anything." ”

The people of Anle Palace saw that Concubine Shu was really not good, so she couldn't help grinding here, and sent people back, Lin Zhaoyi took the palace maid to stay alone on the palace road, looked at the direction of Anle Palace, and looked at the Taiye Pool from afar, she snorted lightly: "What does it have to do with me, the tree is falling and scattering, when the time comes, I will go mine, and I will be widowed for half my life, I don't want to be widowed for the emperor."

In the Shangyang Palace, Min'er supported her body after returning to the palace, and wrote a handwritten letter to Shen Zhe, wanting him to return to Beijing quickly, and soon ordered someone to send it out urgently for eight hundred miles, and then she seemed to have exhausted her physical strength, wrapped in a velvet blanket and sitting on the water pavilion platform, looking at the gloomy sky, the disgraceless Taiye Pool.

The palace is frighteningly quiet, there are almost no human figures on the shore of the Taiye Pond, the fish in the lake don't know where they went, even if Min'er didn't feed in the past, the fish would come to accompany the queen mother leisurely, but today, the water in the Taiye Pond does not move at all, and occasionally a gust of wind blows, so that people feel that this is a living world.

The little princesses were brought by the nurse, they saw that their mother was not in good spirits, they did not make much trouble obediently, the nurse sent fish food, Yuan Yuan took the qin to feed the fish by the water, and finally a few fish swam to eat, but when Yuan Yuan fed the fish, the water in the liquid pool seemed to be boiled and disappeared, that is the emperor and his baby girl standing here will only happen, is it because now the emperor is gone, even the daughter no longer has such a ability?

Min'er was cranky, and her heart was shaken and painful, and she closed her eyes in pain.

"Queen Mother" Suddenly, a soft voice sounded in her ears, familiar and unfamiliar, Min'er suddenly opened her eyes and saw Yuan Yuan standing aside.

The child's little hand was wiped on Min'er's heart, gently and gently, and the mouth was milky, and he said inarticulately: "Yuan Yuan touches, the queen mother does not hurt, the queen mother does not hurt."

This child, she spoke, she spoke at this moment.

Min'er's eyes were red, could it be that Xiang Ye was really gone, so his daughter took his place to appease his heart?

"The Queen Mother." The little doll looked at Min'er aggrievedly, as if she was worried because she couldn't get a response, but she didn't cry, her watery eyes flashed with hope instead of tears, and she read over and over again, "The queen mother doesn't hurt, Yuan Yuan is here." ”

Min'er hugged her daughter in her arms, she couldn't think nonsense, she couldn't treat her daughter like this, Yuan Yuan was herself, she didn't come to replace her father.

"Good boy, you're finally talking." Min'er said and bit her lips tightly, she was afraid that she would cry, she couldn't hold it anymore.

Seeing this, the youngest daughter babbled and asked the nurse to bring herself, Min'er held her own pair of daughters in her arms, and the little life in her belly, she knew that even if Xiang Ye's body was sent from the front, she would have to live strongly, and when the children no longer needed her, she would be qualified to decide whether she would stay or not.

"Yuan Yuan, where did you say Father and Emperor went?"

The child can't give his mother an answer, now people all over the world don't know where the emperor has gone, the emperor's life and death affect many things, and no one knows whether the fate of Daqi will be buried and subverted since then, or whether it can be continued. The sun rises and the moon sets, the days pass day by day, and there is still no news on the front line, which means that the emperor's hope of living is getting smaller and smaller, although the army is firmly suppressing the Zanxi people, and the Liang State is not rash, but the people in the capital are still panicking.

The army of Kishu did not disperse outside the city, and Shen Zhe's letter came from Qiangshui Pass again, and he once again stated that he would not leave Qiangshui Pass no matter what.

In the barracks outside the city, Qin Zhuang's most trusted lieutenant general broke into the big tent and said excitedly: "Lord, brothers, just wait for your words, now the palace is an empty city, and you can change the world with an order." We went to find the descendants of the Zhao royal family, and said that it was to restore the Zhao imperial court, and then let them give you the throne. ”

Qin Zhuang smiled coldly: "Shen Zhe resolutely did not come back, why do you think it is?"

"

", from.
