In the winter of the third year of Yuhe, the north wind was thousands of miles, and the dripping water turned into ice.

Zheng Yi, the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, while directing several young eunuchs to repair the palace wall, looked at the damaged tiles above his head and sighed, and the wrinkled corners of his eyes were filled with hot breath from his mouth, which dissipated in the air. He has been on duty in this palace for decades, seeing that this country is not as good as day by day, and now the front-line war is tight, the treasury is empty, and it is better to be frugal in repairing palace things.

Several little eunuchs were so cold that their hands were red and swollen, and it took a long time to repair the damaged tiles, and the cold winter wind blew them unconscious, Zheng Yi had to quickly urge them to repair the next bad place, and they had to rest as soon as possible.

On the lofty pavilion, Huili's woman took this scene into her eyes, and the golden light sprinkled on her thin cheeks like green bamboo shoots, reflecting the beautiful color, Xiuyu's eyebrows were worried, "The mountains and rivers are broken, the country is gone, I really don't know when this is the head, and now the Jade King has been using troops against Xiyuan for a long time, and the war has dragged on since last spring, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will be a defeat for both sides." ”

The man on the side closed his eyes and rested, his long eyelashes like black feathers fluttering slightly, and his lazy posture didn't seem to take the woman's words to heart, and he tilted his head and fell asleep.

The woman was angry and deliberately tried to wake up the man, only to find that he was really asleep. Her thin fingers traced the deep facial features, and she didn't change his colorful demeanor in a hurry, and she stared at it for a long time before she covered up for him the luxurious big black fox fur sewn from the green rock snow ridge, and gently retreated.

There were already people waiting outside the house for a long time, and when they saw someone coming out, they couldn't wait to step forward.

The woman sighed lightly and whispered, "The chief manager has just rested, why did you come to me?" ”

The person who came was dressed as a guard, but he was a confidant of Lian Ash.

Fang Yi glanced into the room and said nervously, "Scarlet Rain girl, someone has sneaked into the palace." ”

"What?" Scarlet Rain wrinkled her eyebrows, "Is it friend or foe?" Do you have a clue? ”

"I don't know if my friends or foes are here, but I am sure that the people who came are hiding in the palace near the West Sixth Palace and Chaohua Palace.

"I know, you go down, I'll tell you when the chief wakes up."

"Yes."

When I woke up, it was already evening, looking at the half-dark sky outside the building, Lian Ember was lazily lying on the couch, "But someone is from the palace?" ”

"You have already seen that those tiles are very bad, so you asked Fang Yi to check" Scarlet Rain brought him a cup of hot tea.

"It's normal for frost and snow to bully and freeze the tiles, but that day I inadvertently found trampling marks on the wall of the outer palace of Chaohua Palace." Lian Ember drank tea and pondered, and the tips of his sunken eyes flashed, "In a few days, it will be the Shangyuan Palace banquet, and I think someone wants to make waves." ”

"Then shall we check or not?"

"Tell people to protect the emperor, queen and crown prince, and let them go to whoever comes for them."

Scarlet Rain pursed her lips, the cherry blossoms drifted into the pavilion, and the blood-like plum blossoms in the garden were in full bloom, and her heart began to feel a little uneasy.

Shangyuan Palace banquet, the lanterns are bright, the cups and lamps in the Chaohua Palace are staggered, the monarchs and ministers are happy, and the sound of the Jade King's triumph is endless.

Compared with the feast and joy of Chaohua Palace, Fengzao Palace is a peaceful color.

The baby in the cradle slept very sweetly, the satin robe embroidered with dragon patterns in the blue satin silver thread wrapped around his tender body, the long eyelashes were lightly closed, his face was round, and his skin was as white as a lily - it was the original Jingmu of the prince of Dongyuan.

The long hair of the woman with a shaved figure is scattered, the long skirt of the phoenix peony brocade shirt is dragged behind the ground, the fine embroidered gold thread is shining, the phoenix eyes of the rare pearl clamp are enchanting and bright on the jade back, and the dazzling multicolored wings seem to be about to soar for nine days. She was half-kneeling in front of the cradle and happily looking at the sleeping toddler, with a beautiful head and eyebrows, a thin neck and willow waist, and a stunning posture was quiet and picturesque. A few years have passed, and the immature girls of the past have bloomed like a hundred flowers.

Nearly four years have passed since Yu Zijin entered the palace.

In the past few years, personnel have changed, the sun and the moon have changed, and the two countries in the East and West Plains have become more identical, and the war has been endless.

Tianping three years after Yu Zijin entered the palace had two miscarriages, Tianping four years is a serious illness, almost unconscious, anxious to the original Yifeng and the Yu family, in order to pray for her safe escape, the original Yiyi windbreaker did not untie with the day and night to accompany the sickbed, but also changed the year name balance to Yuhe - Jade Queen Anhe.

The decree was issued, and the discussion boiled. Those who praise the emperor are deeply in love with the eternal story, but those who have a heart are sighing that the original family is not guaranteed. All kinds of statements have not affected the gentle man's love.

In addition to the boiling of material discussions, Xu is God was also moved by his sincerity, and sent mercy, Yuzijin's illness gradually recovered, and Yu Yuhe gave birth to the prince Yuan Jingmu in the second year.

With the birth of Yuan Jingmu, followed by a large-scale attack in Xiyuan, Yuwen Zheng brazenly entered the Yi'an Tianwei Cangling Pass that year, and a huge battle was launched here, and it has been two years since the intermittent fighting, and the two sides have been unable to hold on for a long time, and it is difficult to give up.

This battle for hegemony between the East and West Plains was just because the birth of the child in front of him annoyed that person.

If the country is red-faced, it will be a thousand-year-old disaster.

She did the trouble after all

In the early spring of the first year of Xiyuan Zhenghe, Yuan Mingzhan was invited by Yu Wenzheng, and decreed that his only son Yuwen Jingyu was the son of the world, and on the day of the full moon of the son, the magnates of western Sichuan came to the palace of Yingcheng, and countless people were looking forward to seeing the rumored Princess Yingcheng, but Yuwen Zheng claimed that his wife was well versed in Buddhism, ignoring the world, and retreating from the world in the Buddhist hall of the other courtyard all the year round. So much so that to this day, few people have seen the true face of this princess.

It is even more rare that King Yingcheng and the princess have a deep love, and they promise each other wholeheartedly, and they have not taken a concubine for several years, even if they have only a son of Yuwen Jingyu under their knees, they are also unswerving, and the iron tenderness is admired by women in the world, and Princess Yingcheng is also envied, but unfortunately it is little known how her appearance is, and it is more mysterious to this woman, and everyone only says: It must be a strange woman in the world.

"Mother, no, no, mother"

Jiaojiao hurriedly ran over, woke up the sleeping Yuan Jing Mu Wow Wow and cried, Yu Zijin wiped her tears and hurriedly picked up the child, "What's the matter?" What's the hurry? ”

"The slave deserves to die, and the mother forgives the sins." Jiaojiao hurriedly pleaded guilty, "Back to Niangniang, a group of assassins have broken into the Chaohua Palace!" ”

"What did you say?" Yu Zijin was shocked, "What about the Jade King?" What about the emperor? What about the boys? Were they hurt? ”

"Niangniang, Chaohua Hall is in chaos, and the slaves and maids don't know, most of the Praetorian Guards in the palace have been transferred." Jiaojiao replied, fortunately, the mother stayed in the palace before the cold healed, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

When Yu Zijin heard this, she was about to go to Chaohua Palace, and only took two steps and couldn't help but look down at Yuan Jingmu, who was quiet in her arms, in this case, she went to the forbidden army and was afraid that she would have to divide her energy to protect her, at this moment, Yifeng was most concerned about the safety of her and Mu'er, and she couldn't go to Chaohua Palace.

"Jiaojiao, Xuanben Palace's decree, transfer half of the forbidden army of Fengzao Palace to Chaohua Hall to escort, go quickly!"

"Yes, slave and maid will go." Jiaojiao took the order and left, and only Yu Zijin was left in the huge side hall holding the child and waiting anxiously.

I don't know how long it has been, Yu Zijin waited at the door of the hall with numb legs, and wanted to call the palace people guarding the door to inquire about the news, but no one responded to a few times, and even the palace maids and eunuchs serving outside the hall did not see one, and at the same time there was a muffled snort from the apse, she subconsciously hugged Yuan Jingmu tightly in her arms, and walked towards the apse.

"Slim, are you in the apse? Fine"

Entering the apse, there was no one around, Yu Zijin found Xian'er who died in the corner with her heart, and the two maids of the Yu family who married her into the palace, Yingnong and Cuixuan, also fell unconscious in front of the window, she was about to call for help subconsciously, only to see a man in black coming injured and walking, she guarded her young son step by step, and reached into the wide sleeve with one hand to hold the dagger that had just been put in the sleeve.

"Long time no see."

The man in black stood a foot away from Yu Zijin, his low and pleasant voice did not look like an assassin, and when he ripped off the black scarf covering his face, Yu Zijin's eyes widened.

"Brother Shi, how could you be you?"

The person who came was the son of Hou Nankang, the former governor of Bonandu, Hou Kechun.

At that time, when Yuan Ye was in power, the central government had Yuce to dominate the dynasty, and the local government had two major separatist forces, Xiyue and Hou Nankang, the governor of Nanzhou, to compete with it. In the Battle of Fuxia, Yuce and Gongxiyue joined forces to destroy Hou Nankang, completely breaking this three-legged situation, and the biggest beneficiaries were undoubtedly Yuce and Yuwenzheng.

With the fall of Hou Nankang, Gongxi Yue was also killed by an arrow, and all the power in western Sichuan fell into the hands of Yu Wenzheng.

And Hou Kechun, as the son of Hou Nankang, was hunted and killed by Yutian with all his might. These two people are young and righteous, and they are both indispensable princes and nobles, and they have been incompatible as early as when they first met, how could Yutian give Hou Kechun a chance to escape? After a hunt, although he did not get rid of Hou Kechun with his own hands, he was forced off the cliff alive.

At that time, everyone, including Yu Zijin, thought that Hou Kechun had no chance of surviving, remembering the friendship with Hou Kechun when he was a child, Yu Zijin was heartbroken for his untimely death, and even ruthlessly buried Yutian's ruthlessness, but never thought that today he saw Hou Kechun who was still in the world.

She remembered that Hou Kechun was young and pure-minded, and he was always a humble gentleman with a smile and a smile. But today's Hou Kechun's eyebrows are angular, especially the long scar on the left side of his face, which is very deep, which is not much different from the proud young man in Yu Zijin's mind.

Hearing that "Brother Shi", Hou Kechun smiled sarcastically, "How could it be me?" Also, a person who should have died under the knife of your father and brother should not have appeared here. ”

He fell off the cliff and didn't die, he should have come to avenge the blood and the sea of blood!

"No, Brother Shi, Zijin has always wanted you to live, no matter what happened later, what Zijin has always remembered is that when you and I first met when we were young, Brother Shi treated me like a brother, and we have no power to change anything about our father's affairs, but Zijin doesn't want to lose Brother Shi's friend."

Friend? Hou Kechun looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "Zijin, you are too naïve, you and I are now separated by a sea of blood, how can you be friends?" ”

Before Yu Zijin could speak, there was a commotion outside the hall, Hou Kechun's long sword was unsheathed and she was held in his arms, protecting the child in his arms, Yu Zijin said urgently: "Brother Shi, I beg you, don't hurt my child, I am willing to pay for your blood and hatred on behalf of my father and brother, I just ask you to let my son be safe." ”
