Listening to his laughing tone, Yun Yanzheng also nodded, and after signaling the maids to retreat, he smiled helplessly: "The two tigers are playing, surviving in the cracks, and they can still bloom some flowers in this land, and I am like this." ”

Feng Jingning smiled, listened to her boastful words, watched her relaxed look, and then teased: "If I knew you could be so happy, I wouldn't have to come in person." ”

Yun Yanzheng's eyes lit up slightly, and he said with a smile: "Then why did you come this time?" There was a smile in his eyes, and there was something in his eyes.

Feng Jingning lowered his eyes, shook his head, and said lazily: "Your Majesty asked me to accompany the Seventh Prince to participate in your son-in-law selection feast, which is very powerful for you Fengwu Eldest Princess." Kyushu talents come when they hear the wind, and the world is surging for you. ”

Yun Yanzheng was also the Lord of the Eight Winds on his face, and he still smiled and said, "The Seventh Prince? What about you? ”

Looking at her pair of dark and bright eyes, Feng Jingning said with relief: "Your Majesty asked me to participate in assisting the prince, how dare I disobey?" ”

Yun Yanzheng pretended to sigh melancholy, but he changed his words: "Why does Emperor Mo suddenly value me so much? ”

Feng Jingning twisted his eyebrows and whispered: "Your Majesty has been sick for a long time, and suddenly he has been blessed by the heavens, and his spirit is better, and he naturally cares about the world's major events." ”

Yun Yanzheng narrowed his flying phoenix eyes and repeated, "Suddenly blessed by the heavens? ”

Feng Jingning nodded, looked at her with a meaningful smile in his eyes, and whispered: "There is a mage in the palace who observes the heavens, communicates with ghosts and gods, and studies pills. His Majesty's long-standing illness was incured, and with the dual blessing of this mage's boundless mana and exquisite elixir, the dragon's body gradually became healthy. ”

Yun Yanzheng muttered, "Mage? What is the origin? ”

Feng Jingning sighed and said: "I can't find anything suspicious, after Your Majesty's illness was cured, he left adrift, saying that he had traveled all over the world." Looking at her equally suspicious eyes, "In addition, the Empress Long's family has also quietly returned to Yu and is suppressing the rebellion in the court. There are some people who want to support the five-year-old* to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, and implement the puppet plan of blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes. ”

Yun Yanzheng's black eyes widened slightly, and he said, "I don't know who is involved in this?" "Who is involved in this battle of stealing dragons and phoenixes and coveting power? She couldn't help but think of those children of the family in the Yu Imperial Palace, thinking that they were so old and talented, and in the end they were just flesh and blood under the power struggle, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.

Feng Jingning's eyes faintly swept a trace of clouds, and he said: "Who is it now has not yet been decided, the imperial power is swept and the conspiracy is overturned, and it is just fish and meat." ”

Both of them empathize with each other and are full of emotion.

After being silent for a while, Feng Jingning said again: "Over the years, there have been frequent turmoil in Kyushu, and I have been suspicious, and I have already sent people to investigate the forces that are dormant in the dark, and now there is some empirical evidence. I've also checked a lot of things for you, where do you want to start with that? ”

Yun Yanzheng paused for a moment, and said calmly: "You can say it casually." ”

Feng Jingning pulled her lips and smiled, and said indifferently: "Three years ago, the rebellion of King Jing in the Wei Kingdom, the battle of Weiyu were all manipulated by people, and there were even killers who chased you all the way. Seeing that Yun Yanzheng nodded slightly, he said again: "Earlier, I went to Yu Kingdom to rescue you and set up a situation for people, so I followed this line to investigate. In this way, it involved the assassin who took over the heavy money to assassinate you, and after the clues were interrupted several times, they reappeared piecemeal, and everything pointed to the fact that this person was from Chengguo. ”

Yun Yanzheng's eyes darkened, and he whispered, "Who is it?" ”

Feng Jingning's eyes suddenly darkened, and he whispered: "I also verified a person's identity. ”

"Yan Rongzhen?" Yun Yanzheng's eyes were as colored as needles, and he suddenly became sharp, staring at the person in front of him.

Feng Jingning bowed slightly.

When it was confirmed, the boulder in her heart finally fell, and she let out a long breath.

Not long after Yun Yanzheng sent Feng Jingning away, he received a message of worship from Qin Wuxian, the envoy of the Chengguo.

She looked at the prayer sticker presented by the maidservant, and suddenly her mind was full of thoughts. At that time, she went to Chengguo, and she once talked with Qin Wuji, the crown prince of Chengguo at that time, about the ever-changing general trend of the world, and also discussed the pros and cons of the alliance between the two countries.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that the so-called alliance of Chengguo would be formed in the form of marriage.

Although it was a little unexpected to her, after thinking deeply, it was not impossible to understand this kind of thought. What covenant could be stronger than a husband and wife and a descendant of flesh and blood, and more able to bind these two weak nations together with one mind?

What's more, the deeper meaning is that if one of the two countries becomes strong and has the intention of annexing the other country, then wouldn't it be easier for the child of the blood of the two countries to become the royal descendant who will receive the power of the two countries? For Chengguo, she will not fail to do such thoughts; And for the Wei State, especially the emperor, it is also very much in need of an alliance to stabilize its own forces and regime, as for how it will develop in the future, it can only depend on the results of the contest between the two sides. She didn't want to favor the emperor now, but the current state of Wei really needed an alliance to stabilize the balance of the four kingdoms that had not yet been broken.

Her sacrifice only exists for the sake of the country.

Perhaps, the third brother can't understand her original intention, but the things that can be considered at this moment can't be exhaustive. In the past, she felt that the interests of the third brother did not run counter to the Wei country, and she was willing to support him all the way forward, but now the third brother's ambition seems to be expanding day by day under the power, and there are differences with the Wei country she wants to protect.

Between the two, she had to make a choice.

Even so, she was truly alone from now on.

Yun Yanzheng sighed lightly, cleaned up his mood, and went to the front hall to meet Qin Wuxian. Qin Wuxian's face was like a crown of jade, his dark purple brocade robe looked luxurious and graceful, and the posture of sitting in front of the desk and drinking tea was also a royal and grandson atmosphere. He lowered his eyebrows, and he had a solemn majesty, and even the eyes of the servant girl who was waiting on the side did not dare to look at him more, but just waited respectfully to the side, and stood quietly with his hands down.

In the hall where the needle fell silently, it was only when Yun Yanzheng walked up to the front with graceful steps that Qin Wuxian slightly raised his eyes from the teacup and got up to salute her.

Yun Yanzheng smiled slightly, hurriedly returned the salute, and said, "The third prince of Qin doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat!" ”

Qin Wuxian smiled back at her, and without saying anything more, the two of them sat down separately.

The clever maids had already prepared all kinds of refreshments and fragrant tea for the guests to enjoy, and then bowed down again and withdrew in an orderly manner.

Yun Yanzheng leisurely reminisced with him and said, "Is the prince's health okay?" ”

Qin Wuxian didn't shy away from it too much in front of her, put down the teacup in his left hand, and said bluntly: "Now that I have changed to a pharmacist with superb pharmacology, it is not the same as before. There is the county lord of Laoyun who is concerned! As he finished speaking, a faint smile curled up at the corner of his lips, a little interesting.

Yun Yanzheng traveled with him all the way, knowing that this person was quite deep in the city, and he didn't care about him, so he smiled generously and said: "The third prince of Qin specially came to visit the palace today, just to catch up with the past?" Or does the prince of Qin have something important to hand over to the prince to the palace? ”

Qin Wuxian picked up the teacup again, smiled suddenly, and said clearly: "I think that the county lord and my imperial brother are really people with good hearts, and they know that I am not just reminiscing about the past, but here to pass on the message. ”

Yun Yanzheng didn't care about his jokes, his eyes smiled warmly, and he said casually: "Your imperial brother promised to form an alliance with me, but it was not a way to marry. Now that he has reversed his word and has not believed in his word, he naturally owes me an explanation. ”

Qin Wuxi's eyes turned undetectably, and the oath of the year was still in his ears. He was also by his side at the time, knowing that the imperial brother and Yun Yanzheng had raised their palms three times, and the alliance would not use marriage as an excuse in the future. At that time, both of them were so frank and arrogant, which made him feel for the first time that the woman in front of him was not just a woman who moved the world with her beauty, she also had the broad and open arms and bearing of this man, at that moment, he was curious about this woman, and the tacit understanding and heart in the eyes of the royal brother who longed for her oath to look at her.

Now it is Chengguo who has broken his oath in front of him, and the purpose of his coming today is to persuade her to agree to marry under such circumstances.

He silently took out the letter handed to him by Qin Wujian from his sleeve, raised his eyes to stare at the woman in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The reason for the change in this, the imperial brother is full of pen and ink, please read this letter carefully." No hatred is also in the identity of the prince of Cheng, hoping that the eldest princess will not break the covenant with my Chengguo, although there is a change in the way, but Chengguo has broken the original oath, which is really helpless. ”

Yun Yanzheng frowned slightly, and silently accepted the letter that Qin Wuxian personally sent to him. With the sunlight outside the window, she slowly opened it and read it.

The three pages are all the man's thick and ancient handwriting, and his posture is modest.

The thin winter sunlight penetrated the clouds, reflecting between Yun Yanzheng's slender eyebrows, and as the viewing progressed, the creases between her eyebrows gradually wrinkled, and her face gradually became solemn.

This matter is not only about Chengguo, Weiguo, and even the general trend of the world. But this letter, and whether what it says is true or a bureau, is unknown.

Yun Yan is false and hateful, and the words are also ambiguous, as if they are both true and false.

At a time when the dark tide of power in various countries is surging and the balance is facing severe challenges, the country of Wei ushered in a feast gathered by envoys from various countries. In the face of the audience of the envoys from all sides, in view of the power and pressure of various countries, Emperor Wei decided to hold a fair competition in the palace of Yuecheng.

It's just that I can't imagine that she has been fighting for more than ten years, and she can't escape such a fate after all. Sometimes I ask myself, why is this so difficult? Why come back?

The royal people's negative feelings are not the first day to know. As long as there is a little bit of use value, it will be at the mercy of those who hold real power, even if they have made great contributions to the country, and have died on the battlefield for their safety.
