Shen Mingjiao asked Haitang to call Yun Shu over, Yun Shu held an embroidered bandage in her hand, and sat down at the bottom of her: "Madam, are you looking for me?" ”

Shen Mingjiao glanced at the embroidery thread she was holding in her hand, and couldn't help but exclaim: "You embroider red plums, the embroidery is really beautiful!" ”

Along the way, Yun Shu consciously took care of the food, clothing and daily life of the group, and she had rich vision and experience, which complemented the silly begonia.

Yun Shu usually never asks them what they are going to do, but only helps her do some needlework from time to time, and now most of the clothes she wears are made by Yun Shu.

Yun Shu smiled: "I also have the ability to do this, seeing that the weather is gradually warming, I will make a spring shirt for the princess another day, and I will take that set of goose-yellow makeup yarn." ”

Shen Mingjiao looked at her helplessly: "I told you a long time ago that I was willing to save you, not to be a little maid for me." ”

She had said this many times, but Yunshu just smiled every time.

Sure enough, Yun Shu put down the needle and thread and said: "Madame don't have to worry too much, all I ask for is a shelter, and now my life is much better than I thought before, if Madame returns to the palace, it will not be my turn to do this, but now on the road, since Madame has brought me along." I should do what I can. ”

Shen Mingjiao looked at the beautiful face in front of her, she was willing to take Yun Shu in because the other party's name was the same as her sister, and secondly, because the other party was outstanding in learning and good at making poetry, at that time she wanted to use Yun Shu to abuse Su Tan.

After the Su family was copied, Shen Mingjiao asked her about her plans for the future, because the two had a good relationship, if she wanted to return to Gaochang to get back her identity, Shen Mingjiao would also think of helping her.

Yun Shu just smiled and shook her head, her beautiful purple eyes without waves.

"Princess Xiyue is dead, and only Yunshu is alive."

When Shen Mingjiao saw her like this, she didn't want to say more, Yun Shu just wanted to stay in the beautiful pavilion and do some work casually, so that she could support herself.

Shen Mingjiao has always known that Yun Shu is a person with a story, but she respects the privacy of others, so even if she is a little curious, she never asks.

However, now that it involves the affairs of the Gaochang royal court, she can't care so much.

"I came to you today because I wanted to ask you something."

Yun Shu picked up the needle and thread again, and raised her head curiously when she heard this.

"Your Highness has received news. It is said that the court of Gaochang was restless and sent operas to various places in Great Xia, intending to provoke civil strife in the Central Plains. ”

Yun Shu's face changed when she heard this, the thin needle in her hand almost pierced her fingers, and she lost her voice: "Impossible, Gaochang is just a small country in an oasis, how can it be an enemy of the Central Plains!" ”

After all, it is the homeland where she was born and raised, even if she can't go back in her life, she doesn't want Gaochang to fall.

Shen Mingjiao poured her a cup of tea and smiled at her comfortingly.

"Don't be nervous, I've just got some news right now, and the specific details still need to be verified, because you have lived in Gaochang since you were a child, so I thought of asking you.

How much do you know about Nalanxu, the king of Gaochang today? ”

Yun Shu took a sip of tea, her emotions slowly calmed down, and she said softly: "Nalan Xu is my father's half-brother, he is not very smart, he loves to drill camps, but he bullies the weak and fears the hard. ”

Shen Mingjiao asked, "What about Queen Gaochang?" What kind of person is she? ”

Yun Shu frowned: "I have been away from Gaochang for nearly seven years, and I vaguely remember that before Beidi did not attack Gaochang, the second uncle's wife seemed to be deeply infected and died suddenly, and the second uncle seemed to have brought a Central Plains woman back from outside, and it is said that he was very fond of that woman." ”

"Do you remember what the woman looked like?"

Yun Shu nodded hesitantly: "At that time, Wang Tingzhong held a family banquet, and the second uncle took her to show up. ”

She roughly described the woman's appearance from memory, and the more Shen Mingjiao listened, the more frightened she became. According to Yun Shu's description, this Queen of Gaochang is almost the same as the portrait that Cui Lingling let people find at the beginning.

In other words, the queen of Gaochang Kingdom is indeed the holy woman who escaped from Miaojiang Shenwu Village.

So how did the prince get involved with such a person?

Seeing that Yun Shu's expression was a little disoriented, Shen Mingjiao asked softly, "Is it convenient to tell me about some of your past things?" ”

Yun Shu came back to her senses, she lowered her eyelashes, and said softly:

"My previous days in Gaochang should be considered happy!

My father's heart is Ziming, and there are four older brothers, I am my father's youngest child, and because of my natural purple eyes and outstanding appearance, I am famous at a young age. While my father is happy, I can't help but be sad, Gaochang is only a small country in the Western Regions, and my father is afraid that he will not be able to protect me. So he made an early marriage between me and the only son of a minister in the court. ”

At the mention of this, her voice was obviously choked, but she continued to speak:

"The man was three years older than me, and he was a ...... A teenager who is more blazing than the sun.

We grew up together, and he and his two older brothers were already good, and they followed me all day long after they got married.

At that time, we often rode camels around the endless desert, yearning for the world beyond the desert, and I heard that the Central Plains was beautiful and everyone could wear precious silk, and he promised me. When we grow up, he will take me to Kyoto in Great Xia and to the ancient capital of Chang'an......"

She said quietly, a pair of beautiful purple eyes glowed, and the whole person looked scorching.

"Until the age of ten, Beidi sent troops to attack Daxia, need to borrow from Gaochang, Gaochang soon lost, father and brother were locked up, I and he escaped by luck, but was captured by the Beidi army as a prisoner, and then we met the king of Su who lurked into Beidi,

I told King Su about the secret way to enter the city, and King Su then led a large army to protect Gaochang. ”

She clenched her fingers into fists: "We thought that the suffering was over, but at this time, there was a rumor that the Beidi army that had been evacuated had gone and rebelled, and Beidi sent someone to spread the word that their prince admired Princess Xiyue, and if you want Gaochang to avoid war, you must hand over Princess Xiyue."

For some reason, this news spread to everyone, and the people of Gaochang Kingdom were frightened by the Beidi army, and they forced their father to hand me over.

My father refused, saying that we had the protection of the Great Xia Kingdom, and Beidi would not dare to attack again.

But the people didn't believe it, and several major families who wanted to replace them fanned the flames, and in the end, the father was stoned to death by the excited rebels!

His father was a citizen all his life, but in the end he died at the hands of the people he was dedicated to protecting.

In order to appease the anger of the people, I asked him to hand me over. But he refused to die. Soon the Beidi army sent a team of men and horses, and several brothers went out of the city to fight, and all of them died.

It began to circulate in the city, saying that I was a demon who was a disaster to the country, that the Beidi army sent troops to attack Gaochang in order to get me, and that I was imprisoned in the palace by people from several major families, and the angry people poured fire oil outside the palace gate to burn me alive.

The fire almost flooded the temple, and I thought I was dying, but he showed up......"

She will never forget that in the firelight, half of the young man's deep and handsome face was hit by a burning and broken wooden beam, but he smiled as brightly as usual, and his eyes were as bright as obsidian.

"Princess, promise me to live well."

For this sentence, even though she was sold into the flower building later, was almost ruined many times, and endured all kinds of humiliation, she never gave up hope of life.

She tried hard to live well, just for the teenager's phrase "live well".

Shen Mingjiao took out a handkerchief and handed it over, and said softly, "I'm sorry." ”

Yun Shu took the veil and shook her head: "It's all in the past." ”

Although she said this, Shen Mingjiao knew that her life would never pass.

In the past, Shen Mingjiao only felt that Yun Shu was obviously talented and good-looking, but she seemed to have no desires, she tried her best to follow her, wanted to have a shelter, and she just imagined that the young man was expecting, living a stable life!
