"Once upon a time there was a hunter who got a rabbit wounded during a hunting trip. The hunter was accustomed to seeing the life and death of birds and beasts, and he was not surprised, but that day he saved the rabbit on a whim, and then took good care of the rabbit. The hunter has several dogs by his side and has always been a good helper for him in hunting. Once a hunter went to the market and did not return for several days. The hounds were so hungry that they aimed at the rabbits. Of course, they are also jealous that the rabbit does nothing but has too much preference from the hunters. Fortunately, the hunter rushed back in time and saved the rabbit. But I don't know why the hunter likes rabbits so much that he wants to kill all the hounds. The bitter persuasion of his neighbors only made him see that the hound had followed him for many years and had won him a lot of gains. He agreed, but his heart was always unwilling. One day, the hounds pounced on their neighbors. He killed the hounds one by one in the wailing of his neighbors. The neighbor thanked him very much, but he did not know that the hunter had secretly smeared sesame oil on the neighbor's clothes the night before. ”

The corners of Fan Yingbo's lips tore apart a small sarcasm, poured a bowl of tea in a pot, and took a leisurely sip.

"Actually, it's just an ordinary rabbit, and it's just a little frightened and a little wronged, but it takes a few dogs' lives for no reason and doesn't know it, do you say this is fortunate or unlucky? That neighbor inadvertently became a knife to kill the dog, what do you think he would have done if he had learned the truth? ”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly smiled at her, put down the teacup and walked slowly, brushed her side, and went to the side room.

The cool night breeze carried the sound of insects and rolled up the turquoise palace silk on the hem of her skirt.

She looked at the light and fluttering tassel and thought back to Fang Cai's story.

Fan Yingbo must have pointed out, and what he specified was related to the substitution of Xueyang Palace, the rabbit...... It should be said that she is, as for the rest......

My heart tightened, as if there was a clear and sudden glance, and everything suddenly became clear. When she looked at the lattice window to verify it, she saw the pale yellow light and shadow that covered the window swayed, and then it darkened.

The group of palace people who were replaced are all the people who splashed dirty water on her in front of Yuwen Xuancang the day before the Dragon Boat Festival. But if it is really as she imagined, the replacement must be carefully planned, even the virtuous concubine was kept in the dark, how did Fan Yingbo know the truth inside? And Yuwen Xuancang ...... Did he really do it? And they were punished and even lost their lives because of her for a few words......

She stood firmly in the silent darkness.

At this time, it is the season when jasmine is in full bloom, a little crystal is like stars dotting the night sky, and the elegant and intoxicating fragrance of flowers is like a slight ripple of water, as if you can reach out and pick up a handful of veins and veins.

But it's suffocating, indescribably depressed.

She clutched her chest and inhaled hard, but she still couldn't dispel the confinement, as if something was pressing on her, squeezing her, and making her uncomfortable.

Raised his eyes to look at the sky, but saw that the starlight was faint, and the clouds swept the moon.

Suddenly longing for a rainstorm, thunder and lightning, or be able to split this depressing chaos.

But since that spring rain, it hasn't rained for a long time.

In this way, it is a blessing for her...... Or is it unfortunate?

——————————————————————

The ten days of Xueyang Palace, as before, are not very special, the only difference is that those new palace people always like to circle around her, which makes her annoying. Fortunately, those people are all knowledgeable, seeing her lightly, and knowing that the most important person in the palace is Concubine Xian, they gradually stopped pestering her, but they spoke respectfully as usual.

During this period, Yuwen Xuancang once came to visit Concubine Xian, and still took his wife Fang Yiyun with him.

At that time, the three met in the cloister.

She and the entourage of the palace were on her side, looking down and lowering her eyes, watching the silver-threaded moire boots slowly move in front of her heartbeat, and for a moment it seemed to stop for a moment, but it still moved forward.

Accompanied by the icy and snow-colored, it was a rose red cotton silk phoenix dress, and the skirt dragged on the ground for a long time, like a blooming peony flower, sneering at her like its owner.

The color is so bright, so dazzling, and the snow color is extraordinarily complementary.

Once upon a time, she wanted to try her best to block out the existence of this arrogant woman, but in the end, even when she got along with Yuwen Xuancang, she would think of this woman from time to time, and think of those women who had never met but were closely related to him. Even if Yuwen Xuancang had no intention of those women, even if this otherworldly person was just a pawn for him to achieve his great cause, but walking side by side in front of him like this, the elegance of Shi Shiran, the posture of course, so the sound of the skirt swaying on the ground suddenly turned into a hideous mockery of her.

She had to admit that although the many admirable seats around King Yu were cold, they existed after all.

After they walked over, she slowly stood up, suddenly feeling that her waist and legs were sore, and her palms were full of cold sweat.

It's just a cup of tea, and it seems like a century has passed.

She hurriedly led the hair ball out of Xueyang Palace, so she was just worried that Mrs. Yun would "enthusiastically" find her to sing again. She didn't want to see Fang Yiyun's sneer, she didn't want to embarrass Yuwen Xuancang, she didn't want Concubine Xian to learn the truth in all kinds of subtleties, and she didn't want to face that danger and embarrassment.

Just yesterday, she was planning to find an opportunity to ask if the change of palace people was the mastermind of Yuwen Xuancang, but now, she didn't want to know anything.

An inexplicable fear gathered from the shadows around her, creeping up into her heart, like a cold winter snap, cold and damp.

She wanted to get rid of this entrenchment, but even a simple breath was so powerless.

——————————————————————

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and everyone is fanning desperately while shouting "why hasn't it rained yet". Then I heard that there was a drought in the south, that the small rivers had dried up, and that the water level of Hanshui, the longest river in Tianhao, had also dropped severely, and that the riverbed near the shore had cracked. In areas where water is scarce, they have to walk nearly 100 miles a day to draw water from a mountain spring. The veins of the water were thin, and it took half a day to fill a bucket, but there were still dense people behind him who could not see the end, lying motionless under the scorching sun, as if they were scorched.

And even if it is so difficult, it is not safe to live, there are often bloodshed for half a bucket of water, and the prison of Longcheng County is full of people who make trouble because of water grabbing. The heat was unbearable, the prison was not ventilated, and some people were sick. The disease spread, and eventually a plague spread.

The drought was severe, the diseases were numerous, and the people were terrified, so at the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, several peasant uprisings had been launched in the south, all of which were suppressed by the local government. However, under this suppression, there are more people who are eager to survive, and a large-scale civil uprising is about to break out.

In June, the imperial court sent King Xiang, King Yu, King Rui and King Qingning with imperial doctors, officials and men and horses to Qiling, Guanzhou, Liangyue and Zhongchi, which were the most severely affected and the people were in the most uproar, to provide disaster relief and carry out the Mandate of Heaven on their behalf.

But then came even more serious news - after a great drought, a locust plague broke out!

As if it had happened overnight, the overwhelming locusts swept through the thirty-six counties in the south, and everywhere they passed, there was not a single grass left, even the furniture, the doors, and the thatched roofs were all looted, and everywhere was a rustling and continuous chewing sound, which was deafening after a long time.

If people can't eat water, they can't take care of their crops. Originally, the farmers in Hanshui could still cultivate the land and look forward to the harvest, but they didn't want to blink an eye, and after months of hard work, they turned into nothing, and they didn't even have time to cry. And the fierce locusts refused to stop for a moment, and had already begun to march on all sides. Within a few days, reports of the disaster were frequent.

The thirty-second year of Jingyuan was destined to be a year full of crises, and the alarmism of those old ministers not far away exacerbated this terrifying atmosphere even more.

Because of the frequent natural disasters, the Qingxin Palace is extremely lively these days, and the princes and ministers often gather here after the next court, and they show their magical powers next to this disaster, but they don't say how to govern it, they gossip as if they want to deliberately block the emperor.

Finally, Qin Yuan, the head of the household, figured out the most urgent problem to be solved: "Your Majesty, the locusts have destroyed the crops of the thirty-six counties in the south and are moving to the north. Although there is a great drought this year, and the rivers in my north are abundant, there will be no lack of harvest, but if the locusts come......"

"Well, what's the solution? But whenever there is a locust plague, the people are always in a state of misery......" the royal historian Wang Cheng sighed.

"If the water doesn't come first, you can't sit still!"

"I said, Captain Fang, you shouldn't move out of that set of theories that go against the will of heaven, right?" The right prime minister, Xia Rao, glanced at Taiwei Fang Yuhan.

"Why not?" Fang Yuhan's eyes widened.

Xia Rao's second daughter Xia Nanzhen is the concubine of King Yu, and Fang Yuhan's only daughter Fang Yiyun is the right wife of King Yu......

So Xia Rao moved his heart to his second daughter who couldn't finish with the crown princess Xia Nanchun, and Fang Yuhan was naturally not to be outdone. As a result, the dispute between King Yu's family and his family was moved to the court in disguise, and it became a political dispute. Anyway, as long as one person speaks east, the other will go west. Originally, they were all people around King Yu, but this would start an infighting, causing people who were inclined to the two to also have to join the dispute, and major issues related to the national economy and people's livelihood soon turned into debates.

Su Jinling knew the internal reason, but she was just sad for Yuwen Xuancang. In such a battle for the throne, in the case that many princes are not male, if they can...... Will it be a little more certain?
