In the twenty-fifth year of the Jokhang Dynasty, early winter, heavy snowfall.

That year, Princess Shen Zhixi of Zhaoyang was thirteen years old.

The little girl who is as big as her is already a girl in the boudoir, and Shen Zhixi is still traveling around with a master named Xiao Nanting.

As an envoy of the Tai Hospital, this master has superb medical skills, and it is said that he can rejuvenate his hands, but there is only one thing that is not good.

It's so unreliable.

It is really difficult for a teenage girl to sleep with Xiao Nanting, an unobtrusive master.

What's more, this little girl is still the pearl of today's saint.

But Her Royal Highness the princess, who was born in Tianhuang and was noble, didn't complain bitterly all the way, and even Xiao Nanting, who has always been very picky about accepting apprentices, felt that this girl was very resolute.

According to Xiao Nanting's plan, the two of them were going to travel around the Jokhang border and see the customs of the bitter cold land.

Then when they arrived in Liaodong, the two of them just caught up with the bandits to rob the people, and were caught by a group of mountain bandits.

Shen Zhixi's white clothes had been stained with mottled bloodstains, and the sword in his hand still did not stop.

There was a group of bandits around him, and the leader raised his eyebrows, and looked at the girl with a wicked smile, "Lao Tzu lives so big, it's the first time I've seen such a smart little lady." ”

Shen Zhixi said coldly: "I am Shen Zhixi, the princess of Zhaoyang, who wants to do bad things to me, and now I am dealing with the king of Hades underground." ”

"Lao Tzu doesn't care what kind of princess you are, you are seriously injured, how long can you hold on?"

"Then let's try it!" Shen Zhixi's horizontal sword protected the master behind him, and also protected his own life.

Suddenly, a light horse galloped from a distance, and the young general in black armor said in a deep voice: "Get out of the way!" ”

"Guanning Iron Horse?" The girl was stunned, "So fast?" ”

In the moment when she was stunned, the bandits had already met Guan Ning's iron cavalry.

The young general threw a knife at Shen Zhixi across the battle array, "Copy their back road!" ”

Only then did Shen Zhixi pick up the knife in hindsight, turned around and rushed into the battlefield.

After a chaotic battle, the bandits were all wiped out, and two people on the side of Guanning Tieqi were wounded.

Shen Zhixi felt a little familiar when she heard the young general's voice, and when the person arrived in front of her, she lost her mind for a moment.

I just glanced at him from a distance at the palace banquet before, and at that time, the young man was dressed in a blue robe, and he was amazingly talented, like an independent immortal.

Now seeing him go into battle to kill the enemy is a different feeling.

The boy rolled over and dismounted, and uttered the words she had remembered for years, years.

"Your Highness, don't be afraid, I'm here."

If life is only as it first seems.

When they first met, she thought that she was a princess and the pearl of her father's palm, and she would not have much intersection with him.

But I don't want the first glance to be the bond between the two worlds.

When she came back to her senses, she smiled and greeted Gu Yuan, who didn't know what she was thinking there, "Ah Yuan, what are you looking at?" ”

Gu Yuan greeted the thousands of stars in her eyes, and couldn't help but slightly hook the corners of her lips: "I'm looking at you." ”

The girl smiled lightly: "Look at me? Am I that good-looking? ”

Gu Yuan nodded along with her words: "Only the peony is true to the country, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom." ”

When the two arrived in front of the Buddhist shrine, Gu Yuan was guarding outside the door of the dark room with a sword in his arms, and Shen Zhixi went in to meet Yao Xi in person.

The old lady scooped up the wine gourd and drank it to herself: "Brought someone here?" ”

Shen Zhixi knew that she couldn't hide the small actions she had made, so she had to admit: "Yes." ”

"You like him." Yao Xi was also unambiguous, and directly pierced this layer of window paper.

Shen Zhixi smiled and diverted the topic: "Sir, do you know the intention of the students to come to visit?" ”

Yao Xi smiled casually, "Naturally, I know that there have been a lot of things in the DPRK recently, so you don't need to guess to know that it was you, the little girl, who did something to do it." He Shou Wu is dead? ”

Shen Zhixi bowed slightly: "Ah Heng killed him with his own hands." ”

"He knows too much, it's strange not to die." Yao Xi took a sip of the rest of the wine and wiped his lips, "Why did you help Shen Ying?" ”

Shen Zhixi sighed, "Helping him is helping myself, now that the wolves are waiting, I can only stabilize the inside of the clan first." ”

Yao Xi shook his head and said, "Little girl, your heart is still not ruthless enough." ”

Shen Zhixi insisted on her opinion: "If Shen Ying dies, the Qingzhou Bureau will be unstable." ”

Seeing this, Yao Xi no longer insisted, and then asked, "Who killed Song Ning?" ”

"It's the same group of people who assassinated me, probably the dead soldiers raised under Tang Xiujin's hands." Shen Zhixi frowned, "Tang Xiujin's methods are really good, and he just killed people under the noses of so many people." ”

"Without evidence, you can't do anything about him." Perhaps because of too much drinking, Yao Xi suddenly coughed violently.

Shen Zhixi hurriedly got up to comfort the old man, and it took a while for the old man to come to his senses: "Little girl, don't worry...... I'm an old bone, and I can still live for a few years......"

Shen Zhixi couldn't help but feel sad: "Sir, don't say that, you are a blessed person, and you will definitely live longer than Nanshan." ”

Yao Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Blessed...... If I had been blessed, would I have spent so many years painting the ground as a prison in this ruined temple......"

After taking a few quick breaths, Yao Xi asked about the matter again: "Regarding the border, your brother plans to send troops?" ”

"Yes." Shen Zhixi told her frankly.

"Send troops...... Who is better to hit first......" Yao Xi muttered as he weighed the ring ruler at hand.

"Li Xuanyi of Liaodong." Shen Zhixi raised her eyes and looked at Yao Xi, "Longxi is the homeland of the Beiliang people, and they won't spit it out easily, and Liaodong is my Dazhao territory, so don't give them an inch." ”

Yao Xi nodded, "What's going on over there with Shi Mian?" ”

Shi Mian is Yang Yi's expression.

Shen Zhixi thought for a moment, but decided to conceal the news of Yang Su's death: "Yang Ge is still in good spirits. ”

Yao Xiyun smiled lightly: "This is the second lie you told since you entered the door. ”

Shen Zhixi was stunned.

Yao Xi sighed, "I know that you are for the good of the old man, but how can I not hear the few words you worked so hard to make up, old man." ”

"Go to the military department for me, and tell Shi Mian to mourn and take care of your body."

After the old lady said this, she was at a loss for a moment.

There was a lot of snow that year.

He also has people who want to keep it, but can't keep it.

At the same time, Yang House.

A coffin covered in pitch black was pulled by a rudimentary carriage and stopped in front of the mansion.

Yang Su died in battle, his bones were gone, and after the war, the servants collected his relics and bones and sent them back to the capital for burial.

Yang Yi's lips twitched, and he muttered, "Su'er, go home." ”

On that day, every household in Yandu City was vegetarian.

——

Shen Zhixi and Gu Yuan left Tanzhe Temple along the mountain road.

She thought that it was too early to return to the palace now, so she discussed with Gu Yuan to go to the Huaiqing Marquis's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Gu Nianqiu greeted him with a smile: "Brother, you are finally back, my father has been looking for you for a long time." ”

The little girl turned her head and saw Shen Zhixi, beckoned to her, and said, "Sister! ”

Shen Zhixi smiled lightly: "Nian'er, is this growing taller again?" ”

Gu Nianqiu smiled brightly and said, "That is, Nian'er is still growing her body." ”

A few people walked through the corridor talking and laughing, and happened to meet Uncle Zhang, the housekeeper who was talking leaky.

He relayed inarticulately: "Master Hou...... A family feast was held in the main hall...... A few people are invited to come aby. ”

Gu Yuan thanked him and pulled Shen Zhixi into the main hall.

Gu Nianqiu, who was behind him, was talking to himself, and the two disappeared in a blink of an eye.

She hurriedly chased after her: "Big brother and sister-in-law, you two wait for me!" ”

In the main hall of the Gu Mansion, Shen Zhixi looked around and saw that many of the guests present were people she didn't know, so she couldn't help but sneer: "Why did you bring me here?" ”

Gu Yuan spread his hands: "I'm not, I don't, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Shen Zhixi: "......"

At this family banquet, basically everyone from the Gu family came, and even Shen Ying, the king of Suning, and Gu Huaixia, the princess, were present.

Several people got up one after another to salute Shen Zhixi, and Shen Zhixi hurriedly returned the salute, and then sat down next to Gu Yuan.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Gu Chengyu smiled and said, "Ah Yuan, everyone has already come, just waiting for you." ”

Gu Yuan smiled: "Since that's the case, then I'll punish myself three cups first!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Gu Nianqiu ran in panting: "Dad! Everyone is here! ”

Gu Chengyu shook his head and said, "How old is it, it's not too big or small." ”

Gu Nianqiu realized that there were many people present, smiled a little embarrassedly, and then returned to his seat.

Gu Changan drank a few more glasses of wine, and was very happy to see the family happy: "Ayuan, Ruo'er, our family shouldn't have been together for a few years, right?" ”

Gu Yuan smiled: "Okay, as long as you don't set off fireworks at home, I promise to come back and live!" ”

Shen Zhixi's inquiring gaze turned to Gu Yuan, and asked him in a low voice, "Who is Ruo'er?" ”

Gu Yuan said softly: "Ruo'er is Gu Huaixia's small character. ”

On the other side, Gu Huaixia caught a glimpse of Shen Ying's cold face out of the corner of his eye, so he didn't dare to save his thoughts, so he had to shake his head against his will.

Shen Zhixi, as an outsider, could naturally see clearly that Shen Ying was threatening her.

In his previous life, Gu Huaixia died in the spring of Jinghe's fifth year, and died in childbirth.

But later she learned from Gu Nianqiu that Gu Huaixia did not die of dystocia at all.

It was because someone gave her medicine to force her to have a miscarriage, and Shen Ying, who was already crazy at that time, would care about these things and directly imprison her.

The next day she died, and died in no apparent detail.

Now, going back two years, the situation is completely irreversible.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhixi tightened the sleeves of the people around her.

In fact, the direction of this life has been very different from the moment she rescued Gu Yuan.

In other words, she still has a chance to change their fate.

During the banquet, Gu Yuan and Gu Changan's uncle and nephew drank happily, but Gu Huaixia, who was sitting on the other side, was sullen.

Seeing this, Shen Zhixi whispered a few words to Gu Yuan, and then took the opportunity to go to the back garden to admire the moon and take Gu Huaixia away from the banquet.

Seeing that there was no one around, she said softly: "Sister has something sad, but it doesn't hurt to say, I'll listen." ”

Gu Huaixia's eyes turned red.
