Yan Kingdom, Wu Wangfu

Blue brick and tile pavilion, three houses independent, biased to the corner of the huge Wu Wangfu, although the furnishings in front of the door are not luxurious, but with the whole simple and elegant palace structure, it does not appear abrupt.

The young man in front of the door was concentrating on practicing martial arts, and it was only dawn, and the woman in the house had already made breakfast, and she put the dishes away, so she habitually moved a stool, and sat in front of the door, while watching her son practice martial arts, while fiddling with the embroidery in her hands.

This is Zhao's life day after day, it may be a little boring, but she watches her beloved son grow up day by day and become better day by day, and she also feels satisfied with this kind of life.

She has a son, and she has a son who can accompany her day and night, talk and chat with her, this is a woman, the first happiness!

As for the rest, she didn't dare to ask for it, and she knew that it was something she couldn't ask for.

When Murong Lin threw a hearty punch, he looked back and saw that his favorite mother was intently admiring his martial arts, and he smiled at his mother, practicing even harder.

Zhao looked at his son and slowly curled his eyebrows, the face full of smiles was still young and beautiful, but she rarely smeared rouge gouache anymore, no one cared if she was beautiful or not, so she didn't have that need.

"Lin'er, you're tired, let's eat something first."

Seeing that her son had been practicing for an hour, seeing him sweating profusely, she hurriedly stepped forward, gently wiped the sweat stains from his forehead, and beckoned him to come over for dinner first.

"Okay, then I'll practice later."

Murong Lin followed his mother into the house, as if he was extremely hungry, grabbed a big steamed bun, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Eat slowly, drink some water."

Afraid that her son would choke, she quickly poured water.

"Mother, have you told my father about my recent growth? Why didn't my father come to test me? ”

He ate and ate, as if he had thought of something again, and slowly put down the steamed bun in his hand.

Zhao was stunned for a moment, feeling a little bitter in her heart, she watched this son grow up, knowing that he was delicate and sensitive since he was a child, although she tried her best to give him all her love, she still couldn't replace the role that a father should have.

"Your father is a big hero, and he's very busy on weekdays, you know."

"When he is free, he will come to see Lin'er."

She touched her son's head and comforted her softly, how long will it take for this little wish to be fulfilled once.

"But my father has time to see my eldest brother."

Even if he is only a child now, it can be seen that his father's love and reliance on his eldest brother is by no means comparable to other sons.

"That's their adults discussing business."

She didn't know if she was comforting her son or if she was making a fool of herself.

It is true that the prince and the prince are discussing business, but his preference for Murong Ling is also true.

Sometimes, she will inevitably blame Murong Chui, they are all your sons, do you have to treat them so differently?

Their mother and son have never been greedy, they just want a little bit of their father's warmth, and they don't want to be like Murong Ling, but at least, come to see Lin'er more, love Lin'er, and love Murong Nong's brothers, this request is not excessive.

"When will my father be able to discuss it with me?"

He asked indefatigably, as eager as usual to see his father.

"You're still young, and when you grow up, you'll be able to fight side by side with your father."

She has always believed that as long as her Lin'er is good enough, the prince will notice him one day, even if he is an ordinary general, it is good.

At least, he finally fought side by side with his most beloved father.

"Really?" Murong Lin was a little excited, but also a little suspicious.

"Of course it's true, how could my mother lie to you."

"Look at your second brother and third brother, aren't they also studying literature and martial arts in the mansion like you, and when you reach the age of the son, you will be able to go on the expedition with your father."

When Murong Lin heard this, his body was instantly filled with strength again, and after he finished breakfast, he went to practice archery again.

"Mother, then I have to work harder to impress my father."

"Okay."

Zhao looked at his son's hard work, and felt a little sad in his heart.

Lin'er, it's not that you're not good, it's that your mother is not good, it's that your mother didn't give you the status you deserve in King Wu's Mansion.

When the sun shines on the other side of the pavilion, you can vaguely see the beautiful face of the young woman like a peony, she does not say a word, she only quietly pinches the shoes in her hands, skillfully like a good wife and mother of ordinary people, but in such a beautiful picture, there is a trace of unspeakable sadness.

She is Princess Wu, Xiao Kezu Hun, the sister of the current Queen Mother, a poor woman whose fate is manipulated by power.

In the box behind her, there were dozens of pairs of shoes and boots of different styles, which she made for him with stitches and threads, and in this way, day after day, passed the time for several years.

It's just that until now, she hasn't given away a pair.

Because, he will not come, and he will not come.

Sister killed the woman he loved the most, such a deep pain, such a deep hatred, how could he let go so easily.

He turned his indifference into a sharp dagger, and slashed at her warm beating heart, making her stab the word infatuation to the most painful.

Concubine Duan has a husband, the Zhao family has a son, and what about her, apart from an empty title of Princess Wu, what else does she have?

Others hold other people's children, others rely on other people's warmth, she can only use needle and thread in the cold, through the deep affection, looking at his back from afar, blurring and embroidering his every footprint.

Murong Chong didn't expect that before he had time to show His Majesty the exploits of King Wu and other generals, a catastrophe would befall King Wu's mansion in advance.

Yecheng, the Imperial Palace, the Listening Palace

"Your Majesty, according to the old minister, Murong Chui's father and son are ambitious, and this time the rebel Duan Si has fled and must have nothing to do with their father and son."

A few days ago, the army led by King Wu returned to the dynasty with a great victory, and the whole country was carried away by the news of the victory, and he was worried that he could not find Murong Chui's handle.

Fortunately, the news of Duan Si's escape reached his ears as soon as he heard it, and he finally had the opportunity to make a big fuss.

Murong Chui, Murong Chui, sooner or later, you will be rushed over the benevolent and righteous bad things!

Murong Wei frowned slightly, Murong Ping's fanning at this time was like a thunder explosion in his ears, and his dragon case was filled with the guilty statement of King Wu and others about Duan Si's matter, and he was anxious to figure it out, so Murong Ping and Murong Zang would add fuel and vinegar.

He glanced back at the bead curtain, but the Queen Mother did not have any instructions, so he discussed with Murong.

"Isn't it too much to think about? Gu Zheng was reading the confessions of the generals about Duan Si's escape, all of which said that the soldiers were negligent and luckily allowed Duan Si to cross the river and could no longer be chased, which should not be intentional by King Wu. ”

He slowly flipped through the official documents, glancing at Murong Ping's expression from time to time.

Although he can't make an independent decision, he is also like a mirror, Duan Si's escape, I'm afraid that something is wrong, but whether King Wu has the heart to rebel, he can't make a decision based on this matter.

And Taifu came this time to make a big fuss about this matter in front of him.

Taifu and King Wu, these two, do you have to choose one of them?

Murong Ping secretly gave King Le'an a look, Murong Zang immediately understood, and stepped forward to persuade him repeatedly, "Your Majesty, do you think, it was a coincidence that day, there was a boat on the shore, so did Duan Si catch up?" ”

"King Wu was under his command at that time, but there were tens of thousands of elite horsemen, no matter how brave and good he was Duan Si, he couldn't run! Unless......" Murong Zang said, deliberately abruptly stopped.

"Unless what?" Emperor Yan closed the official document, his eyes lit up, and he asked coldly.

"Unless, someone deliberately wants to let him go!"

The Queen Mother nodded to Murong Zang with satisfaction behind the bead curtain, this is vague and beautiful.

Someone deliberately wanted to let him go?

Isn't this just talking about Murong Chui, the king of Wu?

"I'm afraid that the two Aiqing are too worried, so I read the official document carefully, and even General Xiluo said that the generals didn't know about it at that time, and when the Yan soldiers came to report, it was too late to chase after them. Lonely trusts the handsome General Silo, do you look at him like he can lie? ”

Seeing that Emperor Yan didn't want to pursue this matter, Murong Ping and Murong Zang glanced at each other and decided that they couldn't stop there, and the Queen Mother hadn't said anything yet, how could they give up easily.

Even if you don't move Emperor Yan, you have to burn the fire in the queen mother's heart that is suspicious of Wu Wangfu.

"Your Majesty doesn't know anything, this is where Murong Trai is powerful! I don't know what means he used to win over so many powerful ministers and important generals in the court, and even loyal soldiers like General Siluo worked hard for him on the battlefield! Even if General Xi Luo didn't know, he was deceived by Murong Chui! ”

"Your Majesty is wise, but you must not be deceived by his disguised loyalty!"

This trick really worked.

Their colorful descriptions somewhat touched the sensitive nerves of the Queen Mother, and she walked out after a while.

Her youngest son, Murong Chong, is already a little protective of King Wu's family, she can't let her be the emperor's son, and she will come with her.

"Your Majesty, just listen to the advice of Taifu and King Le'an, one of them is your teacher, the other is your second brother, and their hearts are always towards you."

She just said two sentences, with emotion and reason, somewhat shaking Murong Wei's thoughts.

Seeing this, Murong Ping continued to hit the railway while it was hot, "Your Majesty, that Duan Sike is the brother of King Wu's deceased wife, and he is a fierce general who can fight well, and under Huan Wen, it is also quite important." And their Liaoxi Duan clan, although a little defeated, but with the prestige of the hundred-year-old clan, in the land of Liaoxi, there will be countless people who want to come. ”

"King Wu let go of Duan Sizhi, Your Majesty, can't you see it? It's just to win over the forces of the western Liaoxi clan in order to make a move! Then King Wu and his son, you have to guard against it! ”

"Your Majesty, King Wu's father and son will definitely not be of the same heart and mind as our Dayan! Do you think, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty have a hatred for killing his wife with King Wu, and a hatred for killing his mother with his son Murong Ling, such a deep feud in the sea of blood, how can their father and son be easily relieved? ”

"If his father and son are really loyal and courtiers, how can they also arrest Duan Si, a traitor who has a family relationship with them, in front of Your Majesty! As soon as Duan Si left, Your Majesty, you still can't see clearly, is King Wu's heart towards the Great Yan Murong Clan, or towards the deceased wife Duan Clan? ”

Listening to Taifu's heartfelt words and looking at him with a single-minded appearance, Murong Wei was somewhat moved. He was shocked in his heart, if King Wu really deceived the king and let go of the traitorous general Duan Si without permission, his premeditation was really shocking!

Whether it's a wolf or a tiger, who knows?

"You all know."

Duan Si's matter, today, in the sensitive heart of the emperor, has planted the seeds of hidden dangers.
