413. Borrowing a knife to kill people
The heavy snow has been endless, and it has never stopped, and this snow has been falling for a day and a night.
It was also difficult for the carriage to walk on the official road covered with silver snow, so it walked extremely slowly, as if the time of this world had slowed down. The carriage was covered with rabbit fur, impermeable to the wind, and although Mu Wanqing couldn't feel a trace of cold, she was extremely anxious in her heart.
If this continues, I don't know when I will be able to reach the capital.
She gritted her teeth, if her body allowed it, then she could ride back to the capital quickly.
Mu Wanqing was still holding the stove in her hand, remembering that after she woke up, she was in the carriage, and after questioning, she knew that it was Huo Chen who ordered someone to send her back to Beijing.
Although her heart was like an arrow, she still remembered from time to time what Ah Ruo had said to herself before she died.
Don't go back to Beijing.
Her eyes are sharp, she has been away from Beijing for a few months, what is happening in the capital now? Why did Ah Ruo tell her not to go back to Beijing?
Thinking of this, she covered her chest and coughed a few times, and then she remembered that she hadn't taken the medicine yet, so she hurriedly took out the pill and took it according to Uncle Mo's instructions.
She left the land of strife, but the war continued.
At this time, it was a snowy day, the wolf country was constantly attacking, and large and small wars were happening one after another, Huo Chen couldn't help but consolidate the defense, and also led the troops to go out, he was really busy.
At this time, Wolf was in the military tent, listening to the spies.
In this snowy day, he was only wearing a mink fur, and he did not look cold.
He looked solemn and asked, "Huo Chen actually sent Mu Wanqing back to Beijing?" I can't think of it......"
"Yes, the subordinates have already found out that Mu Wanqing's father is seriously ill, so Mu Wanqing rushed back to the capital." The spy told the truth.
After hearing this, Xi Yao frowned, no wonder Mu Wanqing would be like this, she also stayed in Daqi for a while, and she heard a little about Mu Wanqing, Mu Wanqing originally had an older brother, but he died young, at this time Mu Wanqing's father was seriously ill, and Mu Wanqing naturally wanted to rush back to serve the left.
Her expression was gloomy, she didn't expect Huo Chen to let Mu Wanqing return to Beijing, you know, the capital is a hundred times more dangerous than here. Not to mention that without Huo Chen's protection, Emperor Qi Wen even deliberately wanted to take Mu Wanqing's life, I don't know if Mu Wanqing can handle it.
"Xiyao, what are you thinking?" Wolf Ke noticed that Xi Yao was distracted, so he asked casually.
Xi Yao shook her head and said, "Mu Wanqing's return to Beijing is not a good thing for her, the Emperor of Great Qi doesn't seem to be very kind to her, and it will be difficult for her to return to Beijing alone." ”
Wolf Ke smiled heroically, he was naturally happy: "That's better, with the Great Qi Dog Emperor cleaning her up for Brother, does she know that it will be dangerous for her to return to Beijing?" ”
"I'm afraid she knows, during my time in the palace, I heard people in the palace say that the Emperor of Great Qi once wanted her life three or four times, but with Huo Chen's protection, Mu Wanqing has always been safe." Xi Yao said recallingly.
Wolf Ke glanced at Xi Yao and said very confidently: "Xi Yao, do you know what a red face is and what is a curse?" It seems that the Emperor of Great Qi felt that Mu Wanqing looked enchanting and confused Huo Chen, so he wanted to get rid of Mu Wanqing. ”
Xi Yao frowned, although Mu Wanqing is indeed beautiful, but she doesn't think how Mu Wanqing has brought disaster to the country and the people, in this era, women are always victims, and all freedom is decided by men, I'm afraid Mu Wanqing can't help herself.
"Since she knew that the Great Qi Emperor would be unfavorable to her, she dared to go back to prove that she was still a woman who was not afraid of death!" Wolf laughed loudly, and he slapped his palm on the case, "Okay! This king will wait and see, as long as the Great Qi Emperor kills Mu Wanqing, Huo Chen will definitely turn his face with the Emperor of the Atmosphere, and then it will be a good time! ”
Xi Yao was vaguely worried, I'm afraid Emperor Qi Wen would not be so confused, at this time, everyone understands that it should be unanimous to the outside world, how could Emperor Qi Wen move a stone and hit himself in the foot.
Having said that, but Wolf Ke is not a patient person, he sends troops from Dongshan Gorge from time to time to invade the Daqi army, fortunately, Huo Chen has already laid out the defense line, and Wolf Ke can't help it, but this is winter after all, most of the Daqi soldiers can't stand the cold weather, their hands and feet have frostbite, and they fight with the warriors of the Wolf Country, so they naturally suffer a big loss.
Every time the wolf country invades, many soldiers will be injured, and at this time, even Uncle Mo shook his head, and bluntly said that there are not many medicinal materials left, and if this continues, even if he has a body of medical skills, it will be useless.
Huo Chen understood this in his heart, so he immediately wrote back to Beijing, hoping that Emperor Qi Wen would raise more medicinal materials and military salaries.
When Emperor Qi Wen received this letter, he only looked at it slightly, and put it aside casually, he was playing chess with a beautiful concubine, the concubine's phoenix eyes rose slightly, and her whole body exuded a different charm, and her voice was also delicate: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to go." ”
"Concubine Xu, you played that move so well just now, but it really made it difficult for me to play." Emperor Qi Wen was still calm, but he was not nervous.
Concubine Xu covered her mouth and smiled, the laughter was as crisp as a bell, and said, "Is the emperor coaxing his concubines to be happy?" The concubines only know a little bit about it, how can they block the emperor's way? ”
Emperor Qi Wen glanced at Concubine Xu and said thoughtfully, "Indeed, I don't allow anyone to block my way. ”
After that, he made a move and solved the dilemma.
When Concubine Xu heard Emperor Qi Wen's words just now, she was already discolored, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, she was like a tiger, she understood best, she couldn't have half a point of trespassing, otherwise she would be doomed.
Concubine Xu's back was covered with cold sweat, but Emperor Qi Wen had said lightly: "Concubine Xu, have you thought about what to do next?" In the harem, you have the highest chess skills. ”
Concubine Xu's whole body was stiff, she didn't have the charm just now, she hadn't served Emperor Qi Wen for a long time, and she hadn't figured out Emperor Qiwen's temperament, but at this time, it seemed that she couldn't make half a mistake. She thought about it a little, and then she had a son.
Emperor Qi Wen looked at one of her sons, a little distracted, he reached out and slowly hooked Xu Concubine's pointed chin, Xu Concubine didn't dare to come out, for fear that she would anger Emperor Qi Wen, her face was pale, and her whole body trembled.
"Queen...... The previous queen played chess with me, and she was also very smart, her chess skills were above me, but she knew that Tianwei was inviolable, and in order to make me happy, she deliberately lost to me every time, but ----" Emperor Qi Wen paused, her eyes revealed a glimmer of light, "Every time she loses to me, it is a difference between a son, unlike you, which makes me feel like you are flattering." ”
Concubine Xu felt that her back was full of thorns, her eyes widened, she couldn't say anything to beg for mercy, her lips moved, and she never said a word.
"Anyway, not all women are like the women of the Mu family." Emperor Qi Wen let go of Concubine Xu's chin, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, Xiang's father-in-law offered a cup of hot tea.
Concubine Xu's throat tightened, as if she couldn't breathe, wasn't the former queen Mu Yanrong who now lives in Lengyuan? I heard that she was already so depressed that she didn't look like a person, and I didn't expect that Emperor Qi Wen would still think of Mu Yanrong now, but what did Emperor Qi Wen mean by the woman of the Mu family?
Emperor Qi Wen # blew the end of the tea, took a sip, and glanced at Concubine Xu again: "What?" Still not quitting? ”
When Concubine Xu heard this, she was relieved, and quickly stood up and blessed her body, and retreated out, until she walked out of the Chaolong Palace, she was really relieved, it seems that the rumors in the palace are right, and Emperor Qiwen's temperament is already elusive.
Emperor Qi Wen looked at the chess on the case, and his mood was even more affected, he asked casually, "Mu Wanqing has returned to the capital, right?" ”
When Gonggong Xiang heard Emperor Qi Wen's inquiry, he hurriedly replied respectfully: "Yes, it has arrived yesterday. ”
"It just so happens that she can be regarded as the last time she sees Mu Qizhi." Emperor Qi Wen's face was as usual, and there was not the slightest rise and fall.
"Your Majesty, do this...... Luckily? Father-in-law Xiang hesitated.
Emperor Qi Wen sneered: "What's wrong with this, I originally gave her to Wolf Ke, who would have thought that my two sons would be so stubborn, but now it's good, not only did they provoke a war, but now that the treasury is empty, I also want to prepare for military salaries, which is the opposite!" ”
"Forgive the slave for bluntly saying that this battle of the wolf country has been planned for a long time, the emperor has to calm down, now that there is a prince in Zengcheng, this battle will definitely be won." Xianggong said that although he was taboo against Emperor Qi Wen's dragon power, he had served Emperor Qi Wen for many years, and some words naturally dared to be spoken.
Sure enough, Emperor Qi Wen waved his hand with a heavy face: "I naturally believe in him, and I have also prepared an edict to pass on the throne to him, but if that woman is not removed for a day, it will be difficult for me to let go of my heart." There is already Mu Yanrong as a precedent, and I can no longer let the Mu family sit alone in the world. ”
Xiang's father-in-law also agreed, and said softly: "Your Majesty, now Mu Qizhi's life is not long in coming, Mu Gongxu is also dead, the Mu clan has long been fragmented, and Mu Wanqing is only alone, so she can't do anything." ”
Emperor Qi Wen put down the teacup, frowned, and said: "The heart of defense is indispensable, the rivers and mountains of Great Qi cannot be lost in my hands, nor can the Mu family be destroyed." ”
"Your Majesty, if Mu Wanqing has any accidents, I'm afraid that the prince will also be angry with the emperor, and it will affect the father-son relationship between the emperor and the prince at that time."
Emperor Qi Wen nodded, he was also worried about this matter, since Mu Wanqing had already returned to Beijing, he naturally couldn't let go of this opportunity, but how to not affect the father-son relationship between him and Huo Chen, this is indeed a difficult problem.
He thought about it for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and asked, "How many months has Chen Danqing's belly been?" ”
