Chapter 86

Jing Chen saw the ashes behind her, as well as the paper money that had not been burned, her face was not good, and her heart was in her throat.

"Mama..... Who are you paying tribute to? ”

Mama Li, sorting out the ashes in a panic, stood up in a hurry, got up a little anxiously, her eyes were full of stars, and she almost fell. Jing Chen helped her out.

She was hesitant, "The Queen Mother is gone...... The old slave sacrificed to the queen mother..... At the beginning, the old slave was not around, and yesterday I dreamed of her old man. She looked at Jing Chen's half-believing look, hugged the little princess and said, "The queen mother entrusted me with a dream, let me take good care of the mother and the little princess....."

"Mama, you are not allowed to worship privately in the palace, you are an old man who will not know this rule." Jing Chen's tone was unhappy.

"It's the old slave who confesses her guilt," Mama Li made a gesture to kneel down to apologize, but the little princess stopped her and babbled..... The queen mother takes"

Jing Chen took the child, Mama Li took the pastry in the little princess's hand, and smiled: "Oh, the princess is still thinking about the old slave." Thank you, princess, thank you. ”

Jing Chen didn't ask what he wanted to ask, and he panicked in his heart. Mama Li saw that her face was not good, so she picked up the princess and walked out of the back garden. Jing Chen then looked at the burned ashes, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.

After standing for a while, I was about to turn around and saw the ornament among the flowers. She walked over and picked it up, it looked familiar. But I can't think of where I've seen it.

walked to the queen's palace with a heavy heart, Mama Li walked in front with the little princess in her arms, and the two talked all the way. Jing Chen suddenly remembered who this was.

A bad premonition came over me. She staggered, and after the girl Xiaoyu and Wutong got married, Mama Li carefully selected from the people who were waiting, and was busy supporting Jing Chen.

With support, Jing Chen felt a little better, and called Mama Li: "Mama, Wutong has a letter recently." ”

Mama Li paused suddenly, she was afraid that Jing Chen would find something, and speculated, "Maybe it hasn't arrived yet, and there is no news of the return of the lord of Nanzhao recently." ”

Jing Chen approached her and looked at her, Mama Li was afraid that she had leaked her emotions and lowered her head. "Mama, you're lying to me."

She suddenly thought of Shangguan Jun's appearance a few days ago when he wanted to speak and stopped, and Guan Liren's sudden entry into the capital. Something must have happened in the DPRK and China.

"If you don't want to say it, then I'll go to the emperor." Jing Chen is stubborn. She must find out the truth, although it may be that she can't bear it, but it's better than being hidden.

"Niangniang....." Mama Li suddenly stopped her. Nothing really happened. ”

"Is it?" Mama Li was still stiff-mouthed. Jing Chen took out the hairpin he had just picked up from his sleeve and showed it to Mama Li.

Mama, shocked, she wanted to burn it to the sycamore, this is the sycamore often wears, before leaving, she said that she wanted to leave something to think about, so she secretly left the hairpin to Mama Li.

Mama looked at this hairpin and still didn't give up, Wutong was specially left for her, of course she had to keep it. Jing Chen came suddenly, she was afraid that she would find out, so she hurriedly threw herself into the flowers. I thought I'd take it out later when no one was around. Unexpectedly, she still found out.

"Niangniang......" Mama Li has a weak heart and has nothing to say.

"You tell me what's going on with Wutong....." Jing Chen was almost hoarse.

Mama Li put down the princess and knelt down with a plop, with tears in her eyes. frightened the little princess, whining and crying, dragging Mama Li. While wiping his tears, he looked at Jing Chen.

The little princess was still afraid of Jing Chen, Jing Chen looked at her, screamed, and was gray. Jing Chen's face was not good at this moment, she was frightened, and she cried with a whimper.

"What's going on?" Shangguan Jun entered the queen's palace and saw Jing Chen's pale face, and Mama Li knelt on the ground. The little princess heard his voice and ran to him.

Shangguan Jun looked at her with tears on her face, and his heart softened. When Mama Li heard him coming, she seemed to be grasping a savior. Jing Chen's face was even more ugly, and she was going to ask him in person.

Shangguan Jun approached her and said softly, "I'm scared Yi'er." ”

Jing Chen ignored him, and knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, General Fang and his wife escorting the lord of Nanzhao have any news recently?" ”

What should come is still coming, Shangguan Jun finally understood her panic, and said what was the reason for her fierce words.

"Wutong is ......" Jing Chen didn't dare to think about it, as if he wanted to confirm with him. My heart tightened.

Shangguan Jun put down Yi'er and instructed the nurse to take the princess down. The little princess took the nurse's hand and looked back at them step by step. Shangguan Jun looked at her with a smile on his face, and it wasn't until her figure disappeared from sight that he leaned over to help Jing Chen up.

Jing Chen was stubborn and refused to get up. Looks like I won't get up if you don't tell me the truth.

Shangguan Jun couldn't understand it anymore, so he still insisted on helping her up: "Get up, I'll tell you everything I know, okay." ”

Jing Chen looked at him, distinguishing the truth from the falsehood of his words, and when he saw that he was quite serious, he got up. Her legs were numb, and she couldn't stand steadily, so he took her into his arms. One entered the main hall.

Passing in front of Mama Li, Shangguan Jun asked her to get up, and Mama Li thanked her. Xiaoyu helped Mama Li up and followed the two into the main hall together.

"General Fang was ambushed on the way back to escort the lord of Nanzhao back to China..... General Fang and his wife ....." Shangguan Jun looked at Jing Chen and listened carefully, as if he didn't miss any details, and paused, "Both died." ”

There was a boom, thunder erupted, and then heavy rain suddenly came, and the sky was clear just now, but suddenly dark clouds rolled in. Jing Chen's heart seemed to collapse.

She couldn't believe it, and said to herself, "How could it be ....." how suddenly she lost her mother, and then lost a sister.

Her face was pale, and Shangguan Jun was afraid that she would be too sad, so he walked over and took her into his arms. Jing Chen thought she would cry, but she didn't shed tears, so she was stunned and confused and let him hold her. No sound.

Shangguan Jun realized that something was wrong with her, pulled her body, and called her out one after another. She remained indifferent.

The rain was pouring down outside the window, and the windows in the hall were not closed, and the wind blew in, rolling up the beaded curtains, and crackling. Xiaoyu walked over and quietly closed the window. Glancing at Jing Chen again, the heartache was incomprehensible, and she quietly retreated with Mama Li, who was full of tears on her face.

"I'll give them an explanation, trust me." Shangguan Jun said firmly.

Jing Chen just looked at him, and suddenly, she slipped to the floor, and the hairpin in her hand snapped. She looked at the broken hairpin and cried.

Shangguan Jun breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to take her into his arms. Let her cry happily.

The sycamore is more drizzle, and it is drip by dusk, how to worry about it this time. It was because of this incident that she gave Sycamore a name. As soon as she is today, she will not name her Sycamore.

The little woman who followed her, who had hardships and hardships together, and who were blessed but could not enjoy them together, left like this. How could she be willing. She grew up with her, always bullied her, sometimes snubbed her, and even hated her noise, but she was just happy to follow her, accompany her to watch the flowers bloom and fall, and accompany her to wander. In the end, the flowers fell and the people died.

Jing Chen began to regret why she was not allowed to stay in the first place, and she stayed with her words, whether she could have escaped this catastrophe.

She blamed herself over and over again, tugging at her heart, "Wutong, it's all my fault, it's my fault that I hurt you......" over and over again.

Shangguan Jun couldn't stand it anymore, "Chen'er, listen to me, it's not your fault, how can you expect that if there is a mistake, it is my fault, in the territory of the Central Plains, the loss of a general is my incompetence." You blame me. ”

Jing Chen looked at him and shook his head, beating his chest with resentment, he was at fault, why didn't he tell her as soon as possible. As a result, she didn't even have a chance to mourn her loved ones.

Shangguan Jun let her go, she was tired of fighting, she was tired of crying, and her eyes were swollen. He kissed her hair, "Don't worry, I'll definitely find out." ”

Jing Chen collapsed from crying, couldn't stand up, and leaned on his body. He picked her up and walked to the inner room. Gently put her on the bed and put her arms around her, but she broke free and turned away from him.

He knew that she was still angry, so he followed her and let her go, and he covered her with a quilt. Lie on his side. Closing his eyes, what was in front of him was Fang Yaping's high-spirited appearance in Pingcheng's army to defeat everyone with one enemy and one hundred. There is also Wutong cowardly calling him the master of the horse, and calling the emperor again. He couldn't sleep either.

This incident shocked the government and the opposition, and a generation of famous generals actually died tragically in their own territory, while no one knew whether the enemy was a bandit or a soldier. What is certain from the words of the lord of Nanzhao is that this is a group of well-trained professional killers. What he never understood was why this group of people didn't set up an ambush on the way here, but chose the time when the lord of Nanzhao returned to China. Who is this orchestrated assassination aimed at? But the only thing that is certain at the moment is that this group of people is determined to provoke a war between the two countries.

Is there someone who wants to profit from it, or is it just a battle of power within the Nanzhao Kingdom? Shangguan Jun thought about it and didn't know the essentials. Now there is no clue, he can only hope to Li Xingyun, hoping that he can find out the truth. What he affirmed was that no matter who the other party was, even if it was Nanzhao's people, he would have to pay them with blood.

Jing Chen couldn't sleep either, as soon as she closed her eyes, it was full of sycamores, she began to blame herself, tears rolled down silently, and the pillow was wet. Shangguan Jun turned around and saw Jing Chen's undulating shoulders and trembling body. He approached her and took her into his arms strongly.

Jing Chen whimpered, he pulled her over, wiped away the tears on her face, and comforted her softly. Gently patted her back one by one.

Perhaps it was his comfort that worked, Jing Chen stopped crying and curled up in his arms. He felt that the burden on his body was getting heavier and heavier, and he ignored her, she was such a fragile person. He thought about her decision when she fled, and his heart tightened again.

No matter how tired and hard she is, he has to protect her, and he silently swears that he will never let her be sad and sad again.
