"Uncle." She called, her body tilted, and she fell into the arms of the comer.

Liu Ying was startled, the girl in her arms, even through the layers of clothes, felt the heat of her skin. And the flour has been dyed with a sickly red. Beauty is beautiful, but it is also scary to the tentacles.

"Uncle." She remembered something in a daze, so she took Liu Ying's hand and called, "I have something to tell you, Xiongnu-"

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, and a little vague, Liu Ying listened carefully, but she could only hear her calling herself, reached out and stroked her eyelids, and admonished, "Ah Yan, you are having a high fever now, don't think nonsense, sleep well, and wake up." Uncle will talk to you again. ”

He picked up Zhang Yan, turned around and instructed the lieutenant of the Northern Army to collect the team and return to the city, Zhang Yan was wearing a very wide coat in his arms, the hem was dragging on the ground, and there was some obstruction between movements, Liu Ying's eyes turned to it - it was a gray man's robe, with some smell of grass and sweat.

"Your Majesty," Li scabies said, "It was the minister who was afraid that the mother would fall into the water and catch a cold, so he took the liberty of offering his clothes." ”

"Hmm." Liu Ying nodded, skimmed the little displeasure in his heart, and ordered, "Today's merit for Lihou to find someone." I'll remember. However, you are not allowed to tell anyone about it again. The last sentence is already full of voice.

"No."

"Changlu." Liu Ying winked.

Han Changliu has been by the emperor's side since he was a child, and he knows the emperor's intentions best, so he hurriedly responded, and took off his silk winter robe to cover Zhang Yan. So he returned the robe of Li Scabies, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness." ”

Li Yan smiled bitterly, "Don't dare to be." ”

After taking the clothes, he did not put them back on, but only lowered his head and did not look at the figure of the emperor leaving with the girl in his arms. My heart was slightly gloomy. There is no need to tell him specifically, even if it is just for the reputation of Zhang Yan, who is hot at this time, he has planned to bury today's events in his belly forever.

Jiaofang Palace

Zhang Yan burned for a day and a night before she really came to her senses.

"The mother is finally awake." Tu Yu happily hugged her up, "Niangniang's identity is expensive, how can she leave the palace with only Yin Qin and Bai Yujing." Tu Yu said it many times, but you just didn't listen. After this disappearance, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are worried about you. Even after the Hou Ye and the eldest princess heard the news, they were afraid of being shocked by you. ”

"Alright, alright." She touched her head with a wry smile. It's easy to wake up, but I want to fall asleep again. She was silent for a moment and asked, "Bai Yujing and Yin Qin, the two of them." What's going on now? "These two are not at fault, but they are only affected by her.

"What else?" Tu Yu sighed, "Yin Qin was ordered by His Majesty to kneel in front of the Weishui River all night. Now he should go back to the palace and wait for punishment. As for the white order, she blamed herself, invited Master Zhan Shi, and went into the silkworm room to think about it. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Yan smiled bitterly.

"Mother." Xie Wei brought a food shovel and said with a smile, "This is the decoction prescribed by the Imperial Medical Department for Niangniang." It has been warm in the temple. ”

She frowned, suspecting that the imperial doctor had stuffed all the coptis in the world into this bowl of medicine, and drank it on her back, "What about Your Majesty?" He instructed, "Let Mu Xi go and invite His Majesty to come to my Jiaofang Palace." Just say," she emphasized in a serious tone. "I'm in a hurry."

Mu Xi of the Central Palace Department led the queen's order to come to the Xuanshu Palace, and saw Xiang Guocao participating in several courtiers from the palace from a distance, and knew that the emperor's political affairs had been over. So I asked the servant to pass on the message to His Majesty.

The young waiter who wore a shell crown on his head, had a pale fat powder on his face, and looked like a woman heard Queen Zhang's name, snorted, and walked away.

Mu Xi was stunned for a moment, Empress Zhang is the master of the harem, and she is favored by the Empress Dowager Lu and the emperor, although she is not very old, but she is the official of the Central Palace Department to ask for the number of the Son of Heaven, and even the former head of the palace, Han Changliu, has to sell her some face. What is the origin of this waiter, who dares to throw his face even the queen?

"He." Han Changliu smiled bitterly, "Hong Shizhong has been favored by His Majesty recently, and he often serves the pen and ink. There are some arrogant ones. ”

"It's just a little servant," Mu Xi frowned, "even if Your Majesty is willing to use it, the queen is the lord of the world, how can he be disrespectful." ”

Han Changliu wanted to speak and stopped, and sighed, "This Hongru once had a holiday with Empress Zhang. ”

On that day, Zhang Yan had not yet entered the harem, and met Hong Ru in the Weiyang Palace, and for some reason he was very unwelcome, so he entrusted the former head of the palace to move him to the Tianlu Pavilion that did not see the light of day. Unexpectedly, His Majesty went to Tianlu Pavilion to get the book, brought him out, and ordered him to serve in the middle.

After Hong Ru gained power, he remembered the humiliation of the year, and he was embarrassed to be in the place where he disappeared in front of the palace several times. Han Changliu had always known Emperor Hui's intentions, and knew that the emperor was really kind to this young man, so he gradually tolerated it.

It's just that he smiled and thought in his heart, when it comes to internal pets, there is no one in the Weiyang Palace who can match Queen Zhang, Hong Ru, Hong Ru, if you don't measure yourself to Empress Zhang, I don't know if Your Majesty favors you, an unknown servant, or the little queen he holds in the palm of his hand?

When Liu Ying stepped into the Jiaofang Palace, Zhang Yan was leaning on the bed drinking tea.

Due to her illness, she only wore a white middle coat, and her green silk was draped down, and she was not combed into a bun, showing a trickle of beauty more than usual. At the beginning of the serious illness, his face was pale and thinner, and he looked more and more like a melon seed face, which was pitiful.

"Your Majesty." When Zhang Yan saw him, she hurriedly wanted to get up.

"Not necessarily." He hurriedly hugged her, "You just take care of your illness." ”

She lowered her head and said quietly, "This time Ah Yan fell into the water, which made His Majesty worried, it is really my fault. ”

Liu Ying comforted, "It's not what you want, Ah Yan doesn't need to be responsible." ”

Zhang Yan was very weak-hearted, to be honest, she really jumped into the river voluntarily, and she couldn't help but scold Timirona in her heart, but she took his hand on her back and said, "Your Majesty, this time I fell into the river and had nothing to do with anyone, Yin Qin and Bai Yujing are not guilty, can you spare them?" ”

Liu Ying shook her head and disagreed, "It's their fault that the protector is not effective." Although sin does not lead to death, how can we serve the people if they are not punished? With the deposition of the division, he was transferred out of the middle palace for use. Ah Yan, this matter has caused a lot of trouble, but in the future, you will no longer have to go to study too much. ”

Zhang Yan nodded gloomily, "I know." ”

"In addition," Liu Ying hardened her heart, "In the past, you went out of the palace privately, and the Queen Mother always knew about it. Just thinking about you being young and lonely. But turn a blind eye. The day before yesterday, the Queen Mother was very annoyed, although she defended it for you on the surface, but in private you blamed you for losing your manners. Grounded in Weiyang Palace for half a year, unless prepared with the queen's etiquette, you are not allowed to leave the palace at will. ”

She pursed her lips to show displeasure, but she still said softly, "No." ”

Empress Lu has always pampered Zhang Yan, her granddaughter and daughter-in-law, almost to the point of responding to requests, but this time the punishment was extremely harsh. Liu Ying was worried that Zhang Yan wouldn't be able to stand it, so she couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't you annoyed?" ”

"Huh?" She looked up with a smile. Asked, "Why should I be annoyed?" ”

As a queen, while enjoying the glamour and nobility brought to her by this honorable name, she must also bear her obligations. This is a fact that she knew when she entered the palace. The leisurely comfort of the past year is the thoughtfulness and grace he has given her. It was also the happy time she stole from the heavens. When the time comes, return the grace. We should still be grateful, not complaining.

Liu Ying actually didn't know that she longed for freedom and liveliness outside the palace walls, but she didn't hate the time spent in Weiyang Palace. Because there is him in this palace city, so. Staying in Weiyang Palace is actually not a hard thing for her.

Liu Ying was stunned. smiled, "Ah Yan, you are indeed very sensible. ”

But because she is sensible, beautiful, and everything is good. It made him more and more sad and overwhelmed.

She smiled, a shallow dimple on her cheeks. "Actually, Your Majesty, I specially invited you here to tell you something," she lowered her eyes and said lightly, "The group of people I met in the restaurant that day," she wanted to say again, but finally made up her mind and said slowly, "It's the Huns." ”

"Yes, I see." Liu Ying answered absentmindedly, and was suddenly stunned, "What did you say?" ”

"They are Huns."

Liu Ying showed a strange look on her face, "It's really a Huns?" ”

"How?" This time it was Zhang Yan's turn to be surprised, "Did anyone guess that they were Huns?" ”

"Not really." Liu Ying shook her head and sat down on the edge of her bed, "It's just that this time the matter is so big, I always have to explain to the outside world." ”

He smiled bitterly, "I can't say that the queen is missing, so I have to think of a way to push the matter to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion." There was a group of Huns who infiltrated Chang'an and wanted to assassinate me and the Queen Mother, but because the Second Palace of Weiyang Changle was heavily guarded, they were not allowed to enter, and they inquired that the eldest princess of Lu Yuan was my own sister, and she had the audacity to kidnap the young master of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

——When the news came out, although the people of Chang'an believed that the Xiongnu really dared to sneak into Chang'an, they hated and feared Song Wei for the Xiongnu. Many people took the initiative to report to serve as conscripts and continue to build the section of Chang'an city wall that was missing in the northwest corner. ”

"This—" Zhang Yan was dumbfounded, "but Yan'er is only eight years old." ”

"So," Liu Ying blinked, "I didn't say which young master from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion." ”

Zhang Yan couldn't help laughing.

Although Zhang Yan, the concubine of the Hou Mansion, is only eight years old, the two concubines, Zhang Hao and Zhang Shou, are the same age as her.

"It's just," Liu Ying's eyes couldn't help but see a little gloom, "I didn't expect that the Huns were really bold enough to dare to break into Chang'an." But it's all right—"

"What's all right?" Zhang Yan intercepted his words and sighed, "Do you know who the Huns who came to Chang'an this time?" ”

The application on Liu Ying's face gradually became solemn, "Who is it?" ”

"Maudun,

and his newly married Yan clan a year ago. ”

Liu Ying stood up suddenly.

He clasped his hands tightly, and he couldn't contain his anger when he heard that name, so he simply walked back and forth in the hall and said in a loud voice, "The 400,000 troops of Ximaodun trapped the first emperor in Pingcheng, and after I ascended the throne, I wrote obscene letters to insult my mother. He was so bold that he dared to sneak into Chang'an City with only people. If, if I could send an army to capture him alive that day. It can break the Huns half. It's a pity, it's a pity—"

"It's a pity that Ah Yan had a high fever yesterday and couldn't tell His Majesty the truth in time, it's Ah Yan's fault." Zhang Yan said softly.

He was stunned, let go of his hand, looked at her gaze and said softly, "Ah Yan has been frightened a lot, how can this matter be blamed on you." I'm just a little unwilling. By this time he was probably far away. Even if I send men and horses to chase after me, I can't catch up. ”

"Your Majesty," Zhang Yan asked, "have the Huns recently violated our Han border?" ”

Liu Ying said disapprerovingly, "If the border is really completely peaceful for a long time, I will be surprised." ”

Zhang Yan frowned and asked again, "The concubine took the liberty of asking, did they invade Jiuyuan County?" ”

Liu Ying was stunned, turned around and ordered, "Take all the battle reports of the Huns in Tianlu Pavilion in the past half a year." ”

It is indeed a common thing for the Huns to commit borders. But in fact, they are all offenders, and the scale is also different. There were only small groups of people who gathered together, plundered the people's cattle and left. There are also thousands of people who control the strings to attack the city. If the Han County is brave and capable, it can also be repulsed. However, if the Huns defeated the Han army and entered the city, they would inevitably be slaughtered and retreated.

It is recorded that from the spring of the fourth year of Emperor Hui to the present, the Xiongnu have committed a total of 13 border crimes, of which 10 times are sporadic and 4 times are in Jiuyuan. And two large-scale sieges, one of which was also Jiuyuan County.

"How?" Liu Ying was puzzled, "Jiuyuan is just a poor county, isn't it that the Huns are still watching?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Yan bowed, "Iron." ”
