The government office also made an exception, in previous years, it was a three-day inspection, but this year it was changed to a five-day inspection. The officials were happy, and every day they went in and out of the green building of the wine shop, or gathered to drink and drink, or gambled in games, or listened to songs and dances, and drunk and embraced beauties. happily and stupidly, until Diao fought five watches, he stepped on the snow and returned to sleep soundly until noon. After a delicious meal and old wine, I stepped out of the snow again.

When everyone was intoxicated, a shocking news flowed out of Echeng's tongue: Duke Meng Yao, who was abandoned by King Zhou, was mainly remarried to Huaiqing!

Some people just felt ridiculous and laughed, "How is this possible? Huaiqing is an uncle, how can a niece marry an uncle? It's against human morality!"

"It's not my own uncle, why can't I? I heard that this is Mrs. Yi personally suggested to the king! The king has already agreed, and when the princess enters the city, he will be sent directly to the mansion in Huaiqing City to get married."

"Tut-tut!" Someone shook his head: "The princess is a flower, she is twenty years old, and she has been the second concubine of the Son of Heaven, how can she match a leader?" What a pity!"

"What's the pity?" Some people are not angry: "It's just a divorced abandoned woman, can she marry Huai Xiang to fill the house, can she still lose her?"

While the rumors were raging, Li Yao's chariot and horse team had leisurely entered the north gate of Echeng.

Looking at the cyan city wall from afar, Li Yaoxiu had tears in her eyes, and her heart was both apprehensive and excited. After a long time, the daughter of a distant marriage finally returned to her hometown, how can she not be excited? But when I think that I am a divorced woman this time, I wonder how my parents and brothers will treat each other? Don't have a taste in your heart.

Chongli, who was in charge of the guard, ordered the horse team to rest for a while and then slowly enter the city the moment he saw the city gate, which was based on the needs of etiquette, but he vaguely saw a group of knights galloping on the official road with smoke and dust, caravans, horses, and ordinary people and pedestrians hurriedly evaded.

Chongli knew that this was definitely an unusual person, and immediately ordered the horse team to turn down the official road forest to show courtesy. At this moment, the opposite horse team shouted loudly: "Gongzi Pomfret has been ordered by the king to welcome the king's envoy-" Chongli couldn't help but be stunned.

Before the shout fell, a young man flew on a horse, with a fiery red cloak and a dark green jade crown, a short sword hanging from his waist and a horsewhip in his hand, a sassy and heroic style.

"Is Hayashita the general who escorts my sister?" With a crisp call, the young man had already dismounted, strode down the road and into the woods, and bowed to Chongli without hesitation: "Pomfret is late! Forgive me, General!"

"Brother Pom-" Li Yaofei got out of the car, grabbed the young man and kept looking, with tears in his eyes: "I've grown taller, I remember when my sister left, you were only a little bit, and now, you're ...... taller than me" was choked up for a while.

"Sister......" Pomfret was originally a neat person, but after all, it was related to blood and family, and he was in tears for a while.

In such a scene of the reunion of the sister and brother, Chongli felt that he was redundant, so he bowed his hand: "Son, the mission of the last general is to escort the mother back to her homeland safely. Now that the prince is about to come out, the mission of the last general has been completed, and it is time to leave and return to Beijing to resume his life."

Gongzi Pomfret was polite, and he no longer forced him to stay, and pulled Chongli aside and whispered: "My mother and I are both from the surname Ji, and we care about the king and our ancestors, but my father and the marquis insist on going his own way, and we can't do anything. I hope that after the general returns to Beijing, he will tell him about the romance in detail, and I am very grateful."

Chong Li arched his hand: "Childe's heart, the end will be clear, please rest assured."

The cart entered the city, the son of the pomfret freshly whipped in front of the horse, and the doormen guarded the curtain chariot of Li Yao. Such a scene attracted the attention of the people of Echeng, although the curtain of the car was lowered, there was always some gossip that inadvertently fell into Li Yao's ears.

"Look, that's the princess's car...... She's back......

"Huh? This is not the direction of the Princely Palace...... Don't you really want to send it directly to the Huai Xiang Mansion?"

"I just got the letter of divorce, and I immediately remarried? Where can King Xiao Zhou's face be placed? Hahaha......"

Li Yao frowned deeply when she heard this, and shouted softly: "Brother Pomfreggie-"

"What does Sister command?" Childe approached the cart and answered softly.

"This is not the direction of returning to the palace? Where are you going to send my sister?"

"Sister," Gongzi Pomfret looked embarrassed: "Father doesn't allow you to return to the palace, and my brother can't, so I can only first wronged my sister to settle in my house for a while."

Hearing this, Li Yao's heart was both sour and gratified, sad was the ruthlessness of her biological father, and relieved that she still had her mother and brother to rely on, so she sighed slightly: "In this way, it's hard to be a pomfret brother." The people in the market said that they were going to send me to some Huai Xiangfu, but it must be a boring rumor in the market."

"Sister......" Gongzi Pomfret licked his lips, as if he was secretly making up his mind, and at the end, he was cross-minded: "Anyway, you have to say it early and late, so my brother will say it directly!"

Li Yao only felt her heart sink down, lifted the curtain and said, "In this case, let's get on the car!"

He dismounted and boarded the car, and he didn't dare to look at his sister's gloomy face, so he just lowered his head and whispered: "My father strictly ordered Sister Ah not to return to the palace, and my mother knelt and begged for many days, even at the expense of confronting my father, but ......" He shook his head: "In the end, according to the woman's idea, I said that Uncle Huai Qingfu was widowed, and Sister Ah remarried him, not only could I expose the divorce, but also rely on him for life." My father agreed without even thinking about it."

"What about you? What about mothers? Do you agree with my father's absurd idea?" A hint of coolness rose in Li Yao's heart.

"What if we agree? What if you don't agree?" Gongzi Pomfret raised his head angrily: "Since Da Qingze defeated General Yu Zhong's Wang Shi, the Yi clan has controlled the entire Hubei country. The harem is the woman who has the final say, and the mother has almost no place to stand; The heir to the throne is already the son of the world, and the son Kun was imprisoned as soon as he returned to the country; Not to mention the court, that is the world of Huaiqing, he is both the leader and the prime minister, and his power is almost equal to that of his father. My mother and son are lonely, and they are soft-spoken, like fleas, and they will be crushed to death at any time......

Thinking of the difficult situation with his mother in the past few months, Gongzi Pomfret couldn't help crying. Li Yao didn't comfort her brother, just looked at the roof of the car with empty eyes, and at the end, she sighed: "In this way, there will be no place for me in heaven and earth." Well, pilot!"

"What does the princess command?"

"Turn to the Gonggong, I want to say goodbye to my mother, and then send me to Huaifu!"

Before the driver responded, Gongzi said, "Just as my sister said!"

"No—" The rider replied, and the horse team turned around and turned to the palace.

The door of the Egong Palace was opened, but the palace guards were stopped by the chariot: "The king has ordered that the princess is not allowed to enter the palace, and I hope the prince will not be embarrassed."

Gongzi Pomfret was still waiting to argue again, but Li Yao waved his hand: "Brother Pomfret doesn't want to argue again, enter the palace and invite the mother and concubine to meet at the palace gate, as for the father, it doesn't matter if he comes or not."

"That's all there is to it." Gongzi Pomfret was about to enter, but Li Yao stopped him: "Brother Pomfret is not confused, how can he bring a sword into the palace to face the king?"

"Hey! If it hadn't been for my sister's reminder, I would have almost forgotten." Gongzi Pomfret took off his saber and was about to call to follow the little girl, Li Yao took the saber with a faint expression: "And with my sister, Brother Pomfret will go back quickly."

Seeing the figure of Gongzi Pomfret disappearing in the palace gate, Li Yao suddenly looked resolute, climbed the bolted horse stake in front of the palace gate, and shouted at the crowded outer market: "I am the eldest daughter of Ejunshu, and the second concubine who was abandoned by Zhou Tianzi is also. I have a word to say to my fathers and fellow villagers, please listen to me!"

No matter what dynasty it is, the inquisitive nature of human beings cannot be changed. As soon as he heard this, the crowd quickly gathered, and the bolt horse stake where Li Yao was standing turned around in three layers inside and three layers outside. The guards saw that the situation was not good, and it was too late to stop it.

"Why I was divorced, it is not that the Son of Heaven is ruthless, but that the monarch's father is unrighteous and does not abide by the way of the monarch and the minister, first defeats the king's teacher, and then wants to assassinate. How can the Son of Heaven keep me in the palace? He could have given me death, but the king of Zhou, Benren, only gave me a letter of resignation, and promised me that from then on, "men and women will marry each other, and each has nothing to do with it". However, my father actually listened to Mrs. Xinyi's slanderous and agitated, intending to force me to remarry my uncle Huaiqing.

The Son of Heaven is benevolent, but his biological father is ruthless, what can he do? I will die today, and my blood will be spattered, but I will not be born in the house of the prince in the next life!"

Before the crowd could react, they could hear a "thud" of metal rubbing, and then a sticky warm liquid had splashed onto the clothes of the people in the inner circle......

"Oh, the princess killed herself—" someone shouted, and the crowd scattered and fled.

The palace gate guards hurriedly stepped forward, only to see that Li Yao was bleeding all over her body, especially her neck, which was almost cut, and the crimson blood not only stained her clothes red, but even the bolted horse stakes under her body were soaked bright red.

Just at a loss, a middle-aged woman rushed out of the palace gate screaming, followed by Gongzi Pomfret behind her. It was the biological mother of Gongzi Pomfret and Li Yao, Zhou, who had just left the palace gate, and at a glance, she was paralyzed by the scene in front of her.

"Daughter——, why are you so troubled?" Zhou climbed to the ground and approached the tethered horse stake, hugged Li Yao and cried loudly.

"Mother—" Li Yao struggled to open her eyes, the wound on her neck was still blistering with blood, and she struggled to spit out words, "King...... He didn't kill me, but my father forced me...... You and Brother Pomfret ...... Be ...... well."

After the words fell, the bitter woman finally swallowed her last breath. Inside and outside the palace walls, everyone could hear the heart-rending cries of Zhou's mother and son, one higher than the other. qs

"My poor daughter, your father didn't treat you like a human being......

Suddenly, Zhou suddenly stopped crying, stroked his daughter's gradually stiff and cold body, and turned his face to face his son: "Pomfret Er, you have seen it, why did your sister die?"

"My sister doesn't want to remarry, so she will die."

"Who forced her to marry Huaiqing?"

The pomfret gritted his teeth and said, "It's that woman who makes it bad."

Zhou's well-maintained face revealed a chill emanating from the bottom of his heart: "Pomfret Er, force your sister to death, and then you and my mother and son will follow." After all, I was born in the Zhou family, and that woman will never give up until I eradicate you and me. Next, either she dies or I die, my son must remember!"
