Weiyang Palace.

Bai Ziche leaned on the bed, drinking a bowl of medicinal soup with his eyebrows lowered, and a layer of white yarn wrapped around his wrist. The emperor sat beside him and looked at him worriedly.

"It's so dignified, how could Zhu Yeqing run from the Hundred Beast Garden to the painting courtyard?" The emperor seemed to be questioning the palace maids, and it seemed to be talking to himself.

Bai Ziche smiled gently and harmlessly, and said, "Maybe it was an accident, my father doesn't have to worry about it." ”

The emperor was a little stunned, and said, "No, it's not an accident. ”

In this palace, there were originally more than six princes.

"It's just studying in Taixue, just in a corner of the art academy. Even so, they can't tolerate you? The emperor clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth, "My harem, my son, is it all up to them?" ”

Bai Ziche pretended not to hear the latter sentence, and comforted him: "Erchen heard that General Chu Mingxiu has returned triumphantly, congratulations to my father and emperor for adding another minister. ”

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, there is still the Chu family. ”

"Speaking of which, General Chu entered Beijing this time to listen to the seal, and he had to meet Miss Chu. The last time Mr. Pei entered the palace to give a lecture to his son, he said that Miss Chu was sick and was taken care of by the Queen Mother. I wonder if it's okay now? ”

The emperor's face changed abruptly and asked, "When did it happen?" ”

"It's been days." Bai Ziche pretended to be puzzled, "Didn't the chamberlain tell his father?" ”

Chu Zhixia was sick, but the emperor didn't know, but the queen mother knew first. Not only that, but people were taken to the palace for several days, and the emperor didn't hear any news. There are countless eunuchs and servants in the harem, but no one has come to the emperor.

I thought that after the abolition of the prince, the queen settled down and continued to eat the Buddha without asking about the world, but I didn't expect the queen mother to still have such a strong control over the harem.

The emperor's expression was solemn.

At this moment, a joyful eunuch hurriedly came in from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, General Chu Mingxiu has arrived."

The emperor was stunned and said, "The decree to announce his entry into Beijing was only issued yesterday, and it will arrive today?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it has taken more than half a month for the military report in the clouds to be sent to the imperial capital, and General Chu Mingxiu should have come directly to the imperial capital after the victory, and he happened to meet the messenger who announced the decree dozens of miles away from the imperial capital." The chamberlain asked flatteringly, "If Your Majesty is tired, the slave and maid will go to refuse General Chu." ”

"Father, the sons and daughters feel that General Chu is not here for a reward." Bai Ziche interjected at the right time, "When General Chu comes to the imperial capital, he should go to the Autumn Leaves Mountain Residence first. He should have not seen Miss Chu in the Autumn Leaves Mountain Residence, so he ......"

Then we have to see.

The emperor instinctively felt that the empress dowager was uneasy and kind, if Chu Zhixia had three longs and two shorts, Chu Mingxiu was likely to think that the emperor and the Chen family were in cahoots. The emperor wants to compete with the regent, and the help of the Chu clan is indispensable.

"Xuan."

——

The rumored Beidi people drank blood, stood up as tall as a black bear, and used people's heads as cups to drink. Chu Mingxiu has been able to resist Beidi for several years, and in the legends of the market, he is like a demon Yaksha-like figure.

Chu Ming took off his armor, did not wear a sword or lead soldiers, and only had an adjutant by his side, and went straight to Weiyang Palace. The aggressive anger on Chu Mingxiu's body became restrained because of this, and he had a little more cynical conceit.

"Why is General Chu in a hurry to enter Beijing? My holy decree has not yet descended into the clouds, but General Chu has a heart and soul with me. "The emperor slowly ordered someone to give tea to the seat.

The attendants beside him had already gone to the Luhe Palace, as long as Chu Mingxiu was dragged down, things would not be too ugly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister really has no choice."

Chu Ming paused for a moment and said, "My brother is sick." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to get involved with Chu Mingyan.

"Your Majesty should have heard that Mo Xue was raised by her brother. My brother has been riddled with nightmares for several days, and he is really relieved that Mo Xue will not fall, and he will be depressed, and his old illness will recur. The minister didn't dare to slack off, so he had to come to the imperial capital as soon as possible, so that his brother could be safe. ”

The emperor heard the lawsuit, and only hoped that Chu Zhixia would be safe and sound. But it's strange to say, how could someone who knows Xia practice martial arts ever have a headache and brain fever?

Chu Ming Xiutu saw the dagger and said bluntly: "The descendants of the Autumn Leaves Mountain Residence said that the Queen Mother was worried that Mo Xue was alone in the imperial capital and had no elders to take care of her, so she brought people to the palace. The minister thought that since the minister had already come, he would not bother the mother. What does Your Majesty think? ”

The Emperor let out a breath and said, "I think it's very good. ”

"When will the minister be able to see his sister?" Chu Ming pressed forward step by step.

"You ......"

"Your Majesty! Oh no, Your Majesty! Bai Shan, who was sent to the Empress Dowager's palace, hurriedly ran in, slammed his head on the ground, and said continuously, "Go to Luhe Hall to save your life, Chen Boyan's son said that Miss Chu was disrespectful and had already moved the knife!" ”

Chu Mingxiu Huo Ran got up.

——

Hall of Dew.

"Presumptuous!"

The Queen Mother's willow eyebrows were upside down, and she scolded Chu Zhixia Dao, "What are you saying in your mouth?" The mourning family pities you for being alone in the imperial capital, so they are distracted from taking care of you, but you don't know what to do. Don't rely on your brother's military merits to ignore the difference between dignity and inferiority. ”

"Shu Moxue is so sick that she is not sober, she really can't understand it, what kind of care is this." Chu Zhixia sneered, "Mo Xue will not linger if she understands the kindness of the Queen Mother, so as not to pass the illness to the Queen Mother." ”

"Do you think that this Luhe Hall can come if you want to, and you can leave if you want?"

A group of emerald green and moon-white neon clothes parted, and Chen Boyan walked out from behind the crowd. He looked at the weak Chu Zhixia condescendingly, only feeling that there was a God-given opportunity, and there was no better opportunity than this.

"Miss Chu, you beat people in front and disrespectfully in the back, are you relying on the power of the Chu clan in the clouds, or relying on your brother's fame? The Queen Mother is Your Majesty's biological mother, and her status is so noble, how can you be offended. Chen Boyan said vigorously.

"Chen Gongzi is serious, I don't know if I think it's not me who is going to die in this Luhe Palace." Chu Zhi Xia Pi blocked the jade bead behind him, and said with a smile, "My maid was also pampered and raised in the palace, and she has no power to restrain the chicken, there are so many of you, if I don't wake up, it may not be certain who will beat whom." ”

"Are you slandering the Queen Mother to bully more and less?"

"I didn't say anything," Chu Shixia said coldly, "Get out." ”

The Queen Mother pointed at Chu Shixia and said fiercely: "Take down this thing that deceives the monarch to the mourning family!" Rectify the Dharma on the spot! ”

"If you're not afraid of death, come here." Chu Zhixia tugged at the corners of his mouth, but only looked at Chen Boyan and said with a smile, "Do you think I haven't killed anyone?" ”

Chu Zhixia said it lightly, but in fact, she didn't have any strength in her body now, as long as she turned on the qi machine for a while, the toxins would run around in her body, and she was dizzy for a while. She scolded the ghost city lord in her heart so much that the ancestral grave was smoking, but it was difficult to solve the predicament at this time.

Even if she is safe, what can she do? Did you kidnap the Queen Mother from the palace?

Chu Zhixia sighed in his heart, there was really nothing he could do. The Queen Mother clearly wants her life, but she has to look forward and backward, and not resist too much, otherwise it will be disrespectful.

It's ridiculous.

"Are you going to resist the decree?" The Queen Mother slapped the palace maid's hand angrily, and the beads trembled.

"I don't dare." Chu Zhixia snatched the hairpin from Yuzhu's hand and said calmly and forcefully, "The minister just doesn't want to bother the Queen Mother anymore." ”

"Bo Yan, take her down!"

Chen Boyanhu stepped on, and the golden knife under his hand flowed like a fly, slashing straight at Chu Zhixia's throat. Chu Zhixia dodged half a step to the side, but suddenly approached a few steps, and made a knife in his palm to cut horizontally at Chen Boyan's neck. Chen Boyan had seen Chu Zhixia's skills, but he was afraid that her throat would be broken by her, and he forgot that Chu Zhixia was still sick in a hurry.

Chen Boyan deliberately dodged, and his steps floated in vain. Chu Zhixia made a feint in his hand, and the water snake went around and grabbed the back of his neck, and suddenly swept towards his legs. Chen Boyan was unsteady on his feet, so she twisted his neck and pressed him against the pillar, and his cheekbones hit the pillar with a "snap".

"Are you still fighting?" Chu Zhixia asked malicefully, "Just like you, return to Gyeonggi Wei?" Any maid can take you down. ”

In fact, Chen Boyan is good, but he is not as sharp as Chu Zhixia's moves, and he is sharp in reality. But Chu Zhixia knew that such a noble son couldn't stand the agitation the most, and his stomach was bubbling with bad water, and he deliberately humiliated him a few words.

Chen Boyan noticed that her breath was weak, and he shook his body suddenly, wanting to fight back. Chu Zhixia pricked his palm with a hairpin and nailed it to the pillar.

Chen Boyan burst out with a miserable scream, and even the Queen Mother not far away took a few steps back in fright.

Chu Zhixia patted his cheek and said, "Tell you not to move." ”

She turned her head to look at the Queen Mother again, "I advise Niangniang to say a word, you have to be forgiving and forgiving." Taishi Chen is a smart person, but don't take others for fools. ”

After Chu Zhixia said this, she only felt a surge of qi and blood in her heart, which made her dizzy. Chu Zhixia's feet slipped and almost fell to the ground, but Yuzhu pounced on her in time to support her. Chu Zhixia said badly in his heart, and at this time he showed his timidity, Chen Boyan's plan was in vain.

"What is it to be forgiving and forgiving? The mourning family saw that you clearly saw that your brother had made great contributions, so there was no one in their eyes, and they didn't even pay attention to the mourning family. The Queen Mother reluctantly buttoned her hat on the heads of Chu Shixia and the Chu family, and her words were precise and vicious.

Chu Zhixia was dizzy, and he didn't know what the Queen Mother was talking nonsense. Why did you have anything to do with Chu Mingyan and Chu Mingxiu who were far away in the clouds?

Chen Boyan gritted his teeth and pulled out the hairpin, and with his other hand touched the golden knife that fell to the ground, and waved it towards Chu Zhixia violently.

A grain of broken silver hit Chen Boyan's wrist and shook the knife in his hand.

"Changle!"

Chu Zhixia suspected that he was terminally ill, otherwise how could he hear Chu Mingxiu's voice? But Yuzhu followed up with a tearful and laughing "second son", and woke Chu Zhixia up with a solid slap.

She looked at Chu Mingxiu who was rushing over in disbelief, as if she was in another world.

"Second brother?"

Chu Mingxiu looked at her crumbling body and blue-purple lips incredulously, and almost didn't dare to reach out to touch her, for fear that if he touched her, he would shatter. Chu Mingxiu carefully touched her pale cheeks, which were hot.

"How can this be, doesn't it mean that you are sick? This is clearly poisoning...... This is the life of the eldest brother. ”

Chu Mingxiu quickly took off the big coat, wrapped her up, hugged her horizontally, and was about to stride out. Chen Boyan knew that there was no room for recovery, and he could only hope for the Queen Mother. He covered his bleeding palm and said in a loud voice, "Is General Chu going to leave like this?" ”

"Otherwise, I'll kill you before leaving?" Chu Mingxiu narrowed his eyes and stared at him.

The adjutant immediately stepped forward and forcibly separated Chen Boyan and Chu Mingxiu.

"Chu Mingxiu, what do you want to do?" The Queen Mother was furious.

The minister asked the Queen Mother to say this. The minister had never heard of a general who had won a battle, and the queen mother would reward him with the body of his own sister. Chu Mingxiu's face sank like water, "The minister thinks that the minister's sister is a guest when she comes to the emperor, not a livestock to be slaughtered." ”

"The Queen Mother said that there were no elders in the Autumn Leaves Mountain House, so she took Mo Xue into the palace. Now that the minister is here, the Chu family is not dead, so they will not bother the queen mother. Chu Mingxiu walked straight to the door, the Queen Mother had no intention of getting out of the way, and Chu Mingxiu had no intention of avoiding it, as if he would directly crush all the people in front of him.

The Queen Mother was so hard that the green tendons on her neck jumped violently, "You trespassed into the Queen Mother's dormitory and made disrespectful remarks, what should you be guilty of?" ”

A majestic and stiff voice interjected.

"I asked him to come, why didn't the queen mother punish me and General Chu together?"

The belated emperor paced in front of the Queen Mother, looked directly at his mother's old but still beautiful face, and was indescribably distressed, "Queen Mother, what do you want?" ”

——

The group hurried out of the temple of dew.

The emperor said: "Quickly take Mo Xue back to Weiyang Palace, and I will let the imperial doctor show her." ”

"Your Majesty's kindness, the courtier's heart is understood." Chu Mingxiu didn't stop and said, "But it's still not necessary, lest the Queen Mother see Mo Xue unhappy." The minister should take her back to the Akiba Mountain Residence, there is a reliable doctor in the house, and Your Majesty does not have to worry about it. ”

The emperor was a little depressed in his heart.

"Are you blaming me?"

"I don't dare."

Chu Mingxiu lowered his head, looked at the groggy person in his arms, and said in a deep voice, "But Your Majesty, when Mo Xue was born, the minister and brother were still just children. The elder brother cherishes Mo Xue more than he cherishes himself. Mo Xue is his life, his hope for the rest of his life. The minister didn't dare to think that if he came one step later today, Mo Xue would be gone, and the minister's brother would be ...... too."

Depression in the heart, it doesn't sound like a fatal disease. But that was Chu Mingyan, Chu Mingyan, who was asserted that he would not live to be twenty-five years old at birth. A little bit of wind and cold will kill him, not to mention that his dearest sister will be hurt?

"The minister is a mediocre man with no ambitions, and he does not seek to be rich and noble in this life, nor does he seek to leave a name in history. The battle in front of the ministers is just so that the brother and sister can have a place to stand, and they don't have to be human beings. The minister can go to the soup for the Great Zhou, and he can break his body and bones for His Majesty, even if he dies, he will not give up. ”

Winter snow falls.

The glazed tiles of Miyagi were covered with a layer of heavy frost.

Chu Mingxiu's big sword covered Chu Zhixia tightly, but there was still a snowflake swirling in the wind, falling on the center of her eyebrows, turning into a drop of water.

"But, the minister's brother and the minister's sister, no."
