So every city along the way was attacked with great difficulty.

Yun Moxi received flying pigeon letters in the house every day, all of which were handwritten by Zhao Ting, who would tell her the current battle situation and how much he missed her.

Not a single day will be broken.

Most of her replies suggested some war aspects, and the rest was never said.

But every time I received her reply, although it was brief, it was Zhao Ting's greatest comfort.

A small note is just a few lines of words, and you can stare at it for a long time.

Gradually, the Song army won several big victories and successfully advanced northward, and just as the good news came back to the courtiers to celebrate, the bad news also reached - the Liao State sent troops.

In this way, the battle ahead has become a tug-of-war.

The two sides were in a state of anxiety, and it dragged on for months.

Zhao Kuangyin was worried about the war ahead, he couldn't recruit in person, and he was also anxious about a person who was born as a military general.

For several days in a row, I worked hard in the imperial study, and I couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep.

After this day, he stayed in the imperial study to review and read the folds, and sent a battle report in front of him, and urgently summoned the king of Jin and several important ministers to discuss in the imperial study.

The discussion lasted until late evening.

Da Fu, who was waiting on the side, looked anxious, and boldly presented the sign of the harem concubine to the front, "Your Majesty, it's time to turn over the sign tonight." ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Kuangyin frowned and rubbed his temples.

The king of Jin below and several courtiers did not speak, and waited quietly.

Zhao Kuangyin hadn't been to the harem for a few days, and he didn't want to go today, but he thought that the queen sent someone to ask a few times.

I also missed it in my heart, so I said: "Don't turn it over, just go to Ciming Palace"

Ciming Palace is the dormitory of Empress Song Qiao.

Dafoe said happily: "The old slave will send someone to spread the word." ”

After making a decision, he continued to discuss political affairs with everyone.

After the discussion, everyone retreated, and it was already dark outside.

She would be very happy to think that it would be better to go at this time and accompany the queen to dinner.

He ordered someone to drive the Ciming Palace.

On this way, you must pass through the Ciyuan Hall where Xu Su lived in the past.

At this time, the sky was dark, and there was no light or sound in the area of Ciyuan Hall, and it was unusually silent.

Zhao Kuangyin turned his head to see that the gate of the Ciyuan Palace was closed, and even the plaque on it was dusty.

In the past, it was the most lively place in the harem, and the people who went in and out of the palace were lit up at night.

In the past, when I walked nearby, I would hear the music coming from inside, but now I suddenly thought of the charming and beautiful woman who used to live in it, and she was always dressed up and waiting for her arrival.

Many years ago, I heard the name of Mrs. Hua Rui of Shu Kingdom, and I thought what kind of woman could be so beautiful that it spread all over the world, and even the lord of Shu who was once wise and wise was obsessed with lust for her and collapsed.

Once despised and ridiculed.

When she was brought to the front, the shock of that moment really made him believe that she had such an ability.

But after all, he is Zhao Kuangyin, different from Meng Chang.

Although he loves and pampers her, and thinks about making her willful, he knows her character in his heart.

Her domineering and cruel behavior in the harem, some of the things that happened, it was not that Zhao Kuangyin didn't guess or hear it, but she just didn't want to know, or didn't want to check it out.

So in the end, reason overcame everything, and Song Qiao was re-established with the overall situation as the reset.

thought that they loved each other deeply, and they felt guilty about her, even if they knew that she was a Northern Han Dynasty, even if they knew that her justification was full of loopholes and flaws.

Zhao Kuangyin still chose to forgive and believe, so she pretended to let her go in the cold palace temporarily, just because there was still a lot of reluctance in her heart.

It was only later that Song Qiao's appearance, this smart and sensible woman, made him feel the care of love again.

It seems that the wife who passed away many years ago has returned to her side, the same gentle and virtuous.

So I thought it was a political marriage, but I didn't expect to fall into it, and the happiness and warmth of love were warm.

From now on, I can no longer think of the arrogant woman in the cold palace.

Suddenly passing by Ciyuan Hall today, maybe it was because I was a little melancholy worried about the war recently, or maybe the scene was too bleak at this time, and I suddenly remembered Xu Su.

"Go to the cold palace!" Suddenly ordered.

"Your Majesty, the Empress is already waiting." Dafu was startled and hurriedly dissuaded, not knowing what happened to the emperor today, he actually thought of the one in the cold palace again.

The queen just knew that the emperor was going to dinner, and she was excited and waiting.

What's more, King Wei has always reminded him to try his best to prevent the emperor from going to the cold palace again.

"Let the queen wait, I will go to the cold palace to take a look and then go to Ciming Palace."

"It's getting late, Your Majesty should go another day!"

"I said I would go to the cold palace." Zhao Kuangyin said loudly, he was already upset and irritable because of the anxiety of the war ahead recently, and he couldn't help but get angry.

"Yes!" Da Fu didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly commanded the palace people to turn around and go to the cold palace.

I wanted to at least go and see her, after all, there was a love.

The more you go to the cold palace, the more lonely and desolate it becomes, and the apologies are deeper.

When I arrived outside the gate of the cold palace, it was pitch black inside, there was no candlelight and no sound of people, and it didn't look like someone lived at all.

After getting off the dragon and waving his hand, all the palace people respectfully waited outside, pushed open the door and walked in alone.

I walked in and looked around, and I remembered that the palace people had specially cleaned up very neatly when I came last time.

Now the grass has grown all over the ground, and there is a slight snort when stepping on it.

There was a man sitting under a tree in the courtyard, looking up at the sky.

Heard footsteps and turned his head.

"Your Majesty!" exclaimed, it was Xu Su.

"You ......" Zhao Kuangyin was a little surprised to see her, she had never seen her so plain, she was only dressed in white without powder, and she sat in the moonlight with her hair scattered, and she had a unique demeanor.

In my impression, she loves beauty the most, and she is always dressed up in front of him, even when she goes to bed, she is dressed in colorful clothes and is very charming. And every time she woke up in the morning, she always dressed up and sat on the edge of the bed waiting.

So at this moment, he was a little stunned, and he almost didn't recognize it.

"How?" The surprise on his face cooled because of his stunned reaction, "Your Majesty can't even recognize the concubine." ”

Reaching out and touching his face, he stood up coldly and stepped forward to salute.

"Flat!" Seeing her desolate appearance now, Zhao Kuangyin was a little unbearable.

Looking around, "Why are you sitting here alone?" Why didn't you even light a candle. ”

Xu Su didn't answer, but just asked, "Your Majesty wants to stay tonight?" There was anticipation in his words.

He hesitated for a moment and shook his head and said, "I promised the queen to accompany her to dinner, but I passed by Ciyuan Hall and thought of Concubine Ai, so I came to have a look." ”

"Queen!" When I listened, my heart chilled, and the hope that rose in my eyes gradually extinguished.

His face was gloomy, he looked down at his clothes, and said mockingly: "Now that the concubine has become like this, she can't even look down on herself, how can Your Majesty stay."

Zhao Kuangyin had a trace of displeasure on his face, "Concubine Ai rest early, and I will come to see you another day." "I didn't want to stay any longer, I had a lot of love just now, but now I just want to turn around and leave.

"Your Majesty!" Xu Su screamed and ran forward to grab his sleeve. "Your Majesty has promised to let the concubines move back to Ciyuan Hall soon. I don't know when? Tomorrow? No...... Today, now the concubine wants to return to Ciyuan Palace. ”

"I punish you because of your worship of Liu Jiyuan, if you are asked to move back to Ciyuan Hall so soon, it is inevitable that the courtiers will have to say more. This matter has just subsided, not to mention that the war between the two countries is a sensitive period, so let's talk about it later! ”
