Jiang Wanxiu was also very surprised when she heard the news that Li Changshi was beheaded on a certain day.

Song Yuanxi was not surprised at all, "If you want to save Li Changshi, Nan Liye needs to pay a great price, and it is beyond my expectation that he can do it like this." ”

Jiang Wanxiu felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, "Ah Ting must be very sad." ”

Song Yuanxi rubbed her head, "Don't think too much, the royal matter is not as simple as you think." ”

What does Jiang Wanxiu not understand? This is just the first step for Nan Rongran to deal with Nan Liye, even if it is not Li Changshi, it will be someone else.

If it were someone else, Nan Liye might not have made a move, but because of Ah Ting, he also had to fight.

Just those ministers in the court have solved a lot of problems for Nan Rongran, replaced by their own people, as well as Nan Liye's subordinates, who were also assassinated while pursuing evidence of this matter.

On the day of the execution, Li Ting went to see her father off for the last time, and then fell ill and closed her house.

Jiang Wanxiu wanted to go and see her, but Li Ting also closed the door.

At this moment, an urgent message came from the frontier.

The North Underworld suddenly sent troops to the South! The reason for sending troops is also very strange, saying that it is because the southern kingdom rejected the marriage of the northern underworld, and it is clear that it looks down on the northern underworld.

Those in the know know that it was Jing Xin who escaped by himself, and Beiming was just looking for an excuse to attack the southern country.

At the beginning, the soldiers of the Northern Ming were only frequently harassed on the border, and then the major general of the Northern Ming, Su Lie, suddenly raised troops to attack the frontier, although it was a surprise to hit the frontier, but fortunately, Nan Lichen Jiang Yu and they were not unprepared, and they defended very quickly.

The news was quickly sent back to the capital, and Nan Rongran immediately sent Zhang Xuanyi to lead troops to the frontier to support.

Song Yuanxi's face was calm, "How can it be so fast?" ”

"The Seventh Prince sent a secret letter to the border, urging General Su to send troops."

Lin Ze frowned and said, "Master, once the two countries go to war, the situation in the Northern Underworld is bound to change......

Song Yuanxi had a cold face, "I'll think about it again." ”

"Song Yuanxi!" Jiang Wanxiu's voice came from outside, and Song Yuanxi quickly said: "You immediately write a letter and send it to Gui Customs, so that he must be stable and don't show his feet." ”

When Song Yuanxi stepped out of the study and saw the busy figure under the tree, the irritability in his heart was slowly erased.

Jiang Wanxiu raised her head and beckoned to him, smiling like a flower.

"Song Yuanxi, come quickly!"

Jiang Wanxiu rolled up her sleeves and held a small iron hoe, and was laboriously digging the soil.

"Jing Xin told me that the peach blossom brew will be ready to drink in a month, and you come to help me dig the soil, I forgot where I buried it."

When Lin Ze walked out, he saw Song Yuanxi and Jiang Wanxiu squatting together, Song Yuanxi, who usually pays great attention to his image, also rolled up his sleeves at this time, rolled up the corners of his clothes, and his arms were still stained with soil, but he had a very satisfied and warm smile on his face.

Lin Ze had never seen such a Song Yuanxi, or rather, since he met Jiang Wanxiu, he was no longer the son of the previous world.

The pot of peach blossom brew was drunk by the two of them that night, and the mellow aroma of the liquor, with the aroma of peach blossoms, was clear and mellow.

Song Yuanxi could taste that this wine was not enough when it was stored, but seeing Jiang Wanxiu so happy, he didn't say anything.

Jiang Wanxiu was very regretful, "It's a pity that the North Ming and the South Kingdom have fought, otherwise I really want Jing Xin to teach me other wines." ”

Song Yuanxi chuckled, but she didn't expect that she and Jing Xin would be so speculative.

Jiang Wanxiu turned her head to look at him, her cheeks slightly reddened.

"Song Yuanxi, why did Beiming suddenly start a war? Didn't Beiming still want Jing Xin to marry Ye Ming'an before? ”

Song Yuanxi was half-leaning on the couch, and Jiang Wanxiu was pillowing in his arms.

He touched her hair, and said in a hoarse voice: "The Northern Ming is eyeing the Southern Kingdom, and it is only a matter of time before a war starts. It is estimated that it was because the emperor was seriously ill and took advantage of the civil strife in the south, so the northern meditation took advantage of the weakness. ”

"I'm a little worried about my brother."

Zhang Xuanyi has already set off to the frontier, Jiang Wanxiu is a little worried, whether Zhang Xuanyi will do it behind his back.

"Don't worry, your brother is not as weak as you think."

Having said that, Jiang Wanxiu still couldn't rest assured, and on the second day, she recruited Su Mo and Cangyuan.

"The frontier is at war, I don't worry about my brother, I need you to go to the frontier to assist my brother."

Cangyuan said without hesitation: "I'll go!" The capital is not very stable, let Su Mo stay in the capital to protect his master. ”

Su Mo wrung his brows and said: "It's better for me to go, I'm good at light work, Cangyuan's kung fu is above me, it's more appropriate to stay in the capital to protect the master." ”

"Su Mo, I need you to go to Dark Cloud Hall." She took out the Sect Master's jade pendant and handed it to him, "Nan Rongran will definitely make a big move next, I need you to clear the Dark Cloud Hall in the fastest possible time, and listen to my instructions at any time." ”

Su Mo looked at the jade pendant, and suddenly felt like a hot potato, and said with a distressed face: "Master, what should I do if I lose such a valuable thing?" ”

Jiang Wanxiu smiled and said, "If you lose it, you can use the soul to pay off the debt." ”

Su Mo immediately patted his chest, "Don't worry, master!" Even if I lose it, I will never lose the sect master's jade pendant! ”

Cangyuan was still a little worried, "Master, can you be in the capital by yourself?" ”

"Don't worry, with Song Yuanxi here, they don't dare to do anything to me."

Cangyuan and Su Mo quickly left, Jiang Wanxiu stood in front of the windowsill, looking at the scenery outside the courtyard, her expression was a little dignified.

Xi Ling said: "Miss, what are you worried about?" ”

Jiang Wanxiu sighed lightly, "For some reason, I'm always a little uneasy in my heart. ”

"There is Cangyuan over there for the eldest young master, there is Su Mo over there in the dark cloud hall, here in the capital, there is also the prince here, what is there for the young lady to worry about?"

said so, but Jiang Wanxiu always felt that there was something she ignored.

A month passed in a blink of an eye, Cangyuan went to the frontier, and also sent a letter to Jiang Wanxiu, making sure that Jiang Yu was all right, and Jiang Wanxiu was a little relieved.

May 15 is Jiang Wanxiu's birthday, Yunxiao Pavilion has changed its previous tranquility, and the whole house is lively.

The old housekeeper smiled and said: "The birthday of the princess is a big event, and the old slave will definitely do a great job for the princess." ”

Xia Zhu held the red lantern with a happy face

"This is the first birthday of the young lady in Yunxiao Pavilion, but it's a pity that the eldest young master is not here......"

Jiang Wanxiu didn't have too many regrets, shook the dagger in his hand, and said with a smile: "My brother remembered my birthday, and sent me the birthday gift a few days earlier, I thought about it, when the war on the border stops, I will go to him with Song Yuanxi." ”

The birthday banquet was not a big event, and there were no guests, so only Jiang Muyun and Zhang Xiyue were brought over, and several of them had a lively time in the mansion, and Concubine Wan and Nan Liye also sent people to send gifts, and this birthday passed like this.

I drank a lot of wine, and everyone was a little drunk.

Jiang Wanxiu didn't expect Xiling's alcohol to be so bad, so she only took a few sips, and then hugged Xia Zhu's ghost and cried wolf.

Jiang Wanxiu was also a little drunk, holding her head and watching them frolicking, with a relaxed and happy smile on the corner of her mouth.

Suddenly her wrist was grabbed, Jiang Wanxiu fell into a warm embrace, the sky spun around several times, and the surroundings instantly quieted down, leaving only each other's breath entangled.

The green silk is spread out on the red quilt of the gold silk embroidered sparrow, and the red candles in the house are swaying, as if returning to the night of the candles in the cave room.

She looked at him with misty eyes, hooked his neck with both hands and suddenly hooked her lips and smiled, her voice was soft and glutinous: "Song Yuan Xi ......"

The eyes covered with mist, deep or shallow, reflected the rippling brilliance and reflected Song Yuanxi's face.

He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, gently and delicately.

"Jiang Wanxiu." In a trance, she heard him whisper in her ear, "If one day I am gone, you must live well." ”

Jiang Wanxiu looked at him in a daze, and before she could think about what he meant, her lips were blocked by the familiar softness, the red candle was blown out, and the gauze curtain fell, hiding the spring light in the room.

Xia Zhu finally dragged Xiling back to the room, and was about to go to fetch water to wash his face, but he saw a figure standing under the porch, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Lin Ze.

She was surprised: "Guard Lin, aren't you going to rest?" ”

Lin Ze stared at her, his always cold face was a little softer in this night.

"I'm waiting for you." Lin Ze said.

Xia Zhu was stunned for a moment, and saw that he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and his cheeks were slightly red.

"This is the medicine bottle you left with me last time."

Xia Zhu smiled: "This, this gold sore medicine was originally given to you, you are always injured when you are a guard, and it is good to have a little more wound medicine." ”

The hand holding the porcelain vase tightened, and Lin Ze couldn't even find the words to continue.

"Guard Lin, is there anything else? I'm going to get some hot water, and I'm going to rest later. ”

Lin Ze pursed his lips and blurted out, "I'll help you." ”

Xia Zhu has never been so nervous as he is now, especially looking at Lin Ze with a cold face holding a basin of water beside him, his heart feels like a deer is bumping into him.

The subordinates in the mansion all looked at them with ambiguous eyes, and they didn't dare to come forward to ridicule Lin Ze's prestige, Rao was like this, which also made Xia Zhu very shy.

Sending her to the door, Xia Zhu took the basin of water and was about to say thank you, but Lin Ze suddenly said, "Xia Zhu, are you willing to marry me?" ”

The night wind blew through the hall, brushing the hair on her shoulders and gently scratching her cheeks.

And his words, like a feather, made her heart tremble slightly, and at that moment, she didn't even know how to answer.

Her silence was, in Lin Ze's view, a refusal.

The brilliance in his eyes dimmed little by little, and Lin Ze was a little disappointed.

After thinking about it, Lin Ze still said softly: "I'm sorry, I was abrupt." ”

It's just that Lin Ze can't understand that the last time Song Yuanxi was drunk, he also took advantage of his drunkenness to tease Jiang Wanxiu, why did he succeed, but he couldn't?

Lin Ze turned around and wanted to leave, but Xia Zhu grabbed him.

"You wait!"

Lin Ze's eyes lit up and he looked back at her.

Xia Zhu's cheeks were already red, and he bit his lower lip in shame, and said in a low voice, "Why are you ...... Tell me this all of a sudden? ”

Lin Ze said without hesitation: "The master said, let's pick a time to get married, I think this proposal is very good, so I want to ask you." ”

A touch of disappointment immediately appeared on Xia Zhu's face, "Is this the only one?" ”

Lin Ze's eyes were a little evasive, and he said, "There are ...... I...... I think ......"

He couldn't say those four words.

Xia Zhu looked at his embarrassed appearance and suddenly sneered.

"Guard Lin, you like me, don't you?"

She tilted her head to look at him, smiling with a hint of banter.
