In the Earl's Palace, the Li family was gathering in a room.

Li Lao Er stayed with Mr. Wen in the south courtyard of the city last night, but when Mr. Wen went to the court, he received news from home that his niece was urgently taken into the palace last night.

He immediately hurried back to the Earl's Court to inquire about his daughter-in-law's details.

It happened that Jia Huan also went back to the Earl's Court to pick up things, and I heard that this matter was also worried.

Wan'er saw that her father-in-law and brother-in-law were not looking good, so she persuaded her.

"Dad, Brother Huan, my sister is a smart person, and she must know that the family is worried about it, so I can't say that someone will send the news back soon. Besides, the third princess treats her sister as her own sister, and if she has something, she can take care of one or two.

"Let's not mess around for the time being, let's see how it goes."

Li Lao Er and Jia Huan naturally understood, but the palace was a place of right and wrong, and they finally stayed away, and now that Jiayin was summoned in again, it was still urgently summoned in the dark, how could they not worry.

At this time, the front yard suddenly became lively, and the maid guarding the second gate ran in and shouted, "The county lord is back!" ”

"Really?" Everyone was surprised and hurried to the door.

Sure enough, Jiayin walked in front in plain clothes, her hair was slightly messy, her eyes were a little red, her expression was not as cheerful as before, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of sadness.

Shui Ling and Shui Yun followed behind her, also with a look of panic.

The hearts of the people were raised high, and they couldn't let go of it anymore.

Wan'er took a few steps forward, helped her sister-in-law and walked into the house quickly.

Li Lao Er followed, and Jia Huan directly ordered Chunxiu, "Idlers retreat and guard the door." ”

Chunxiu immediately kicked the little maid and the mother-in-law and closed the door.

Jiayin was settled in a chair, holding a cup of warm tea in his hand, and drank it dry in one gulp before he could be relieved.

She looked up at the worried family members again, and said with a wry smile, "The queen passed away yesterday, and the emperor decided not to mourn in order to crown the crown prince and choose the concubine without delay. The third princess broke down, and I was taken to take care of the princess. But the princess didn't want me to follow me in Kunning Palace, so she sent me out. ”

Everyone gasped when they heard this, and they were shocked and didn't know what to say.

The queen of a country, in such a hot weather, can't be buried after passing away?!

If you don't mourn, when will you keep it secret?!

I have heard that the living make way for the dead, after all, the dead are greater.

But when will the dead give way to the living!

"Crazy, crazy!" Li Lao Er scolded in a low voice, without naming names, but everyone knew who was crazy.

Even for a person like Wu Cuihua, when she passed away, the Li family gave her the dignity she deserved.

And after the burial, every New Year's Day, the family has to go to worship and worship, and there is never a shortage.

All grievances, because death comes, will dissipate.

However, the mother of a country is not as good as a peasant woman.

When you die, you can't announce the news, you can't put it in the ground, you can only hide in the courtyard and wait for it to rot, and only the young daughters and slaves and maids are the ones who keep the spirit, it's really ......

Wan'er sighed and whispered, "It's the most ruthless emperor's family, it's really not wrong at all." In this way, it is really better to be an ordinary person. ”

Jia Huan felt sorry for her sister-in-law, and looked up and down several times, for fear that she would be scared.

He stepped forward and patted his sister on the shoulder and comforted, "My sister is scared, right?" Don't be afraid, those people are crazy and can do anything. Try not to enter the palace in the future, be careful when you will be affected again, you know?

"You are the treasure of our family, if you have a bad one, don't talk about us, even the grandmother and aunt over there in Quanzhou, as well as the fourth uncle and the Hou Ye who are out of the war can't bear it."

Jiayin nodded, hugged his brother's waist, and whispered, "I know, brother." I just feel sorry for the third princess, she is not a few years older than me, she has to go through this, it is so pitiful. ”

Everyone sighed along, they didn't have a good impression of the three princesses before.

But after so much time, seeing that the third princess is sincere to Jiayin, they are also grateful and happy when they are like sisters.

If they can, they're willing to lend a hand.

It's a pity that there are too many things involved, not to mention helping, and even the whole family has to pretend not to know.

The family said a few more gossips, and Li Lao Er instructed, "I will talk to Mr. Wen and the Liu family about this matter, and you must remember not to reveal the news, and be cautious."

Now, that person is very different from the original, all his thoughts are on the crown prince and the selection of concubines, and whoever dares to break his arrangement is a disaster. ”

Everyone nodded and responded.

Li Lao Er got up and planned to go out.

I didn't want to open the door as soon as I pushed the door, Mu Jue came in from the front yard, dressed in dust, and his lips were cracked with thirst.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly welcomed him in.

Even Jiayin couldn't care about being sad, so he hurriedly poured a cup of herbal tea for Mu Jue.

Mu Jue looked at her carefully, drank the tea in the dry cup in one gulp, and then hugged the teapot and poured it clean, and then exhaled a long breath.

Li Lao Er was rarely anxious and asked, "Brother Jue, how is it?" How was the war in Jiangbei? Hou Ye and the fourth child have any news back? ”

Mu Jue dragged his sore leg and sat next to Jiayin, and then said, "The matter in Jiangbei is more complicated, and it will be delayed for two more days, otherwise I would have come back early."

"I was originally worried about the food and medicine stored in Jiangbei, and I planned to take the time to take a look, but I ran into Uncle Shan being chased and killed. The first wave of manpower should have been sent by the person there, wanting to cut off the connection between Hou Ye and his family. ”

He pointed in the direction of the palace, and everyone guessed it, and they all frowned.

"Why did that person break off the connection between Hou Ye and his family? Is he starting to be jealous of our family? ”

Li Lao Er pointed to the core, this problem is very critical, if that person is afraid of their family, the family must deal with it quickly, so as not to be caught off guard and fall into a passive situation.

Mu Jue shook his head, "It's not our family's problem, it's that person's mind has changed, I'm afraid he has to wait for the major events on the Xindu side to be completed, and there are other arrangements for the Northern Expeditionary Army, so he not only stuck the military rations, but also sent an official document to let the Northern Expeditionary Army suspend the attack."

"But Hou Ye thinks that the time for a decisive battle has come, and he also wants to drive away the barbarians as soon as possible and return to the new capital. So Hou Ye sent Uncle Shan back to contact the family, wanting to use the batch of food and medicine in the Jiangbei Valley. As a result, Uncle Shan was intercepted.

Uncle Shan was injured and killed all those men, but the previous team of men and horses who were grabbing food also appeared. Fortunately, I helped half of it, otherwise Uncle Mountain would be in danger. ”

Jiayin imagined that it must have been extremely dangerous at that time, and his heart became more and more irritable, and he responded, "Uncle Hei, they just left not long ago, do you want to chase them back, take people to Jiangbei, and kill all this team!" Otherwise, at the critical moment, if these people disrupt the situation, I am afraid that it will be a big deal. ”

Li Lao Er was also worried, and echoed, "I'm afraid that Lao Hei and others are not enough, and the second village will mobilize dozens of people, it is best to go to the Hou Mansion to find the big housekeeper, borrow dozens of guards, and there will always be two or three hundred together, which should be enough to deal with." ”

Mu Jue smiled, with a little smug in his expression.

"Master Hou, county lord, don't be so troublesome, Uncle Shan and I have already solved those people, and by the way, we have found some trouble for their master."
