After Luo Qingzhi left, she went to the room on the east side, and kicked the door open without any polite knocking.

Zhixin in the room sat up and roared angrily: "...... Luo Qingzhi, what are you doing? ”

Luo Qingzhi sat on the edge of the bed, held her forehead, and said, "Go and help me fetch water, I want to bathe, and I will enter the palace later." ”

Zhixin was even more displeased, and said, "I am your military doctor, not your maid." ”

"In my yard, there are only people during meals, and you don't know that there is usually no one, go quickly." Luo Qingzhi still patiently explained.

Zhixin didn't say anything more, so she had to silently help fetch water.

Luo Qingzhi took off her clothes, and the ambiguous marks on her back made Zhixin's eyes stunned, and Luo Qingzhi stepped into the bathtub, ending Zhixin's conjecture.

After Zhixin came back to her senses, she squatted down, helped her take her pulse on the side, nodded slightly, and said with satisfaction: "Fortunately, you are obedient, I am really worried that you will have to endure it yourself." ”

"Worried? Worried about falling asleep? Luo Qingzhi said angrily.

Luo Qingzhi closed her eyes, as if she had compromised, and said, "Zhixin, don't worry about this matter, I'll handle it myself, you coaxed people over last night, which was too much." ”

Zhixin pursed her lips and retorted, saying: "You, you have been in the military camp for a long time and don't eat the fireworks in the world, then Gao Langjun likes you very much, and I will fulfill him." ”

"Like?" Luo Qingzhi pondered these two words, looked at Zhixin, and asked, "Didn't you smell the smell of osmanthus on his body?" ”

It seemed that everything had finally been strung together, Zhixin let out an "oops", looked at Luo Qingzhi in disbelief, and asked tentatively: "Could it be the poison of Gao Langjun." ”

Luo Qingzhi closed her eyes, leaned against the wooden barrel, and said, "Guess, I haven't found out how he got the medicine, but thinking back to the palace banquet that day, I only drank the wine he handed over." ”

"Then you know everything, why do you want to help him." Zhi asked puzzled.

"I promised someone," Luo Qingzhi said slowly: "I promised him to protect Gao Zhen and keep him safe." ”

Zhi was puzzled, who else in this world would think about the former prince who existed in name only, she asked, "Who?" ”

"My father."

Zhixin couldn't believe what she heard, she was afraid that she had heard it wrong, and asked again, "Who are you talking about?" ”

Luo Qingzhi said: "My father. ”

Seeing Zhixin's surprised appearance, she began to explain.

"Back then, I hugged my father, and the last thing he said in my ear was, let me swear to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the rest of my life."

"Why?" Zhixin asked.

Luo Qingzhi shook her head and said: "That night was too chaotic, when I promised my father and the queen, he was angry, and then I have been stationed in Yuzhou, there is no way to explore the truth, the forces inside and outside the court are complicated, it took me ten years to rely on the power of the foreign man, and the hidden stake was planted, but it was too late, after the palace change, only His Majesty, me, and the prince are still alive in the world, and if you want to know the truth, you have to investigate again." ”

Thinking that Luo Qingzhi was about to be involved in the whirlpool of Jinling, Zhixin sighed, it was rare to be serious, and said: "Ah Luo, I have been by your side for five years, although I dare not say how well I know you, but there is only one thing that I understand. ”

Luo Qingzhi turned her head to look at Zhixin, listening to her answer expectantly.

"You are an eagle flying in the sky, not a tiger stirring up the storm, Jinling, will trap you."

“......”

Listening to Zhixin's answer, Luo Qingzhi's eyes dimmed a little, and then said lightly: "I also want to go back to Yuzhou, but I'm afraid I can't go back." ”

Zhixin looked at the woman in front of her, thinking that the first time the two met, it can be described as miserable, at that time she came to Pengcheng in order to avoid the tracking of the man, which coincided with the war between the two countries, at that time, the Mu clan in Nanningzhou in the west was defeated by the army of Pugan, and the emperor was worried about changes, so he asked Luo Qingzhi to send 50,000 Pingbei troops to help.

As soon as the army passed through Yuzhou, the 200,000 troops of Jin Anguo came quickly, and Luo Qingzhi, who had only 50,000 defenders, resisted with difficulty, and lost several cities one after another.

In a desperate situation, Luo Qingzhi chose to infiltrate the Jin'an camp to kill the boss. Although the assassination was successful, the crazy Jin An army also forced Luo Qingzhi to the barren mountain of Yu County, and Zhixin, who was collecting medicine on the barren mountain, also happened to witness this scene.

That night, Luo Qingzhi took no more than a few dozen personal guards, against several times the number of troops, and the accompanying guards were a little timid, and she immediately shouted loudly.

"Everyone, retreat behind me, I Luo Qingzhi will be your shield, you just have to go back, if you can go one by one, if I die today, he will remember to avenge me and recapture Pengcheng."

Seeing Luo Qingzhi like this, the young general, who was still afraid, immediately replied: "Your Highness, I should be your shield." ”

More and more people responded, Luo Qingzhi laughed and sighed: "In today's battle, there will be history books to write down for me." ”

Then she was determined to die, and she spared no effort at all, killing a hundred and a hundred, the red armor was soaked with blood, and her hair was scattered, and at that moment, Zhixin, who was hiding in the grass, felt that she was the same as the hero she saw in the drawing book.

However, there are more and more soldiers in Jin Anguo, she doesn't know how many knives she has been hit, and she obviously can't stand, and those guards who are shields really fell in the sea of corpses, just when she felt that Luo Qingzhi was going to die, the drums that resounded in the sky came, and reinforcements came to save this lonely hero.

Round after round of tragic battles, the battlefield did not end until the sky cleared up and the air around them was completely infected with the smell of blood.

In the battle of Pengcheng, the two armies suffered heavy casualties, although Yuzhou lost Pengcheng, but the most capable soldiers of Jin Anguo were also buried in a foreign land. The two countries have ushered in five years of peace.

But Luo Qingzhi walked night after night in the ghost gate, exhausted all the precious medicinal materials in Yuzhou, and Zhixin, together with all the military doctors of the Pingbei Army, took turns to take care of them, and for a whole month, they did not wake up.

At that time, Gao Yandu had already prepared her nickname, and in the entire Yuzhou, every household had prepared the dark paper, but fortunately, Luo Qingzhi was still hard-hitting, and finally survived.

Every time she thinks of this, she thinks that this woman should be a man, but she is hiding in the woman's shell, so that she has the compassion of a woman, so that she will not be wiped out on the battlefield, otherwise, with the national strength of Qi Ning back then, she can obviously reorganize her armament after her injury, and fight to Youzhou in one breath, expand the territory to the south bank of the Yellow River, and give Jin'an five years of respite in vain, and now she has the strength to fight again.

"Arlo, what can I help you?" Zhi asked sincerely.

Luo Qingzhi stroked her hair and said jokingly: "Then you remember to use a little better makeup cream next time you help the prince change his appearance." ”

At the mention of Gao Zhen, Zhixin sighed unconsciously and said, "How are you going to place Gao Langjun." ”

"Hey, I don't know." Luo Qingzhi shook her head, very annoyed, most of the people in the army want something, and they come directly if they want to say anything, but Gao Zhen always seems to hide herself, and for a while, she doesn't know how to get along with him.

"However," Luo Qingzhi said, "he must not be the leader of my son-in-law." ”

Zhixin pouted, rolled her eyes, and said, "But, I look at him, it's bound to win." ”

Luo Qingzhi sighed and said, "Don't say that he is just a commoner now, even if he is still the prince, it is impossible to win." ”

Zhixin was silent.

Luo Qingzhi said: "On the day of the edict, His Majesty said that he wanted me to choose the heir. ”

"Meaning, the person who becomes your husband will be the emperor of the next dynasty?" Zhixin asked in surprise.

"If it is taken literally, it may be understood in this way, the two people of the Jin family have already been registered." Luo Qingzhi said.

Zhixin "oops", a little helpless, said: "This Emperor His Majesty is really, isn't this embarrassing for you?" ”

The sound of the watch came, Luo Qingzhi thought that the time was not early, hurriedly wiped her body, and got dressed with the help of Zhixin. Zhixin helped her tie her belt, hung up Bai Yujue, and proposed.

"You don't want to do this embarrassing thing, wading into this troubled water, why don't you become a complete Gao Langjun, I think he is really affectionate to you."

“......”

Luo Qingzhi hesitated for a while and said, "I can't see through him, it's not appropriate for him to stay by my side like this, but you're right, this is a muddy water, I have to find a way to get out." ”

Dressed neatly, Luo Qingzhi opened the door, seemed to think of something, and said to Zhixin: "You are optimistic about him, and you are not allowed to let her sign up." ”

"Hmm."

After receiving Zhixin's affirmative reply, Luo Qingzhi walked out of the county lord's mansion with confidence, got on the carriage and went to the palace.

Before she reached the Xianyang Palace, the female official in charge of the palace beside Queen Yang invited her to the Chongde Hall by the queen's order.

The queen and the eldest princess of Xuanyang, who were waiting in the Chongde Palace, had already drunk a cup of tea.

"Wechen see ......"

Before Luo Qingzhi could finish saying goodbye, Empress Yang stopped her, and there was a little yin and yang in her words, saying: "Your Majesty doesn't let the county lord salute, and the palace doesn't dare, the county lord doesn't have to be formal, sit down." ”

Luo Qingzhi bowed slightly, but still showed the courtesy, and as soon as she sat down, the eldest princess Xuanyang couldn't help but speak.

"Ah Luo is really getting better and better-looking, I can't find a girl in Jinling who can compare, and this palace didn't dare to recognize it just now."

"The eldest princess laughed, and the posture of the willows of the micro-minister, His Royal Highness praised it falsely." Luo Qingzhi replied. Raising his eyes, he looked at Queen Yang, and his face was not good-looking. She guessed that if it weren't for the eldest princess, she would be very reluctant to see herself.

"Haha." The eldest princess smiled and looked at Queen Yang with a wink.

Empress Yang said to her subordinates, "Take it." ”

Luo Qingzhi looked at the tea on the table, although her mouth was dry, but the incident of the last palace banquet made her palpitate, and she didn't dare to touch anything unfamiliar again.

After a while, the palace maid took up two scrolls, and then, the four palace maids, standing on both sides, unfolded the scrolls.

The eldest princess got up with a smile and said slowly: "The one on the left is my eldest son, Ziji, you also saw it when you were young, and the one on the right is the youngest son, a few years younger than you." ”

Luo Qingzhi turned her head and looked at the portrait, a figure like an immortal, thinking that this painting work was really hard work, but after a while, she turned her head to look at the eldest princess, and asked with puzzlement: "What does the eldest princess mean by this?" ”

The eldest princess smiled softly and said, "You haven't seen each other for ten years, and the palace is afraid that you have forgotten what they look like, so I specially sent a portrait." ”

Luo Qingzhi also smiled slightly, and said: "Ziji and Zijue really haven't changed much, just like when they were young, they are like immortals. ”

Listening to Luo Qingzhi's compliments, the eldest princess smiled even more happily, and her speech became more direct, saying: "My son will definitely be within the top ten, and at that time, it will depend on which of the two brothers can win the heart of the county lord." ”

Luo Qingzhi didn't answer, just bowed her head slightly. Finally, she heard the voice of salvation.

"Nu Huang is serving His Majesty's order to receive His Royal Highness the County Lord of Anning."

Queen Yang and the eldest princess listened to Huang Shi's words, and did not dare to do anything to keep them, Luo Qingzhi bowed slightly, and turned to leave.

"Hey, county lord, the painting, the portrait hasn't been taken yet." The eldest princess said.

Huang Shi's eyes were quick, and he immediately said, "The slave is the county lord to take it." ”

Luo Qingzhi smiled helplessly and nodded.

"I'm tired of Grandpa Huang."
