At night, I was lying in bed tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep, when suddenly I heard a slight noise from the window, and someone was pulling the window outside.

I quietly got out of bed, walked to the window, and said, "What people! ”

"It's me"

I opened the window and saw Chu Jinmo standing outside the window, he threw a burden in his hand to me, and said, "Change it and follow me immediately." ”

"What's going on?"

After a period of silence, Chu Jinmo said slowly: "Mother has promised you to An Guo, and you will get married in ten days." ”

"What!" My whole body shook violently, this Empress Dowager Yaotian actually crossed the river and demolished the bridge, making her own opinion?

"Change your clothes and I'll send you away."

I wore the men's clothes given by Chu Jinmo, bowed my head and followed him out of the city, and he didn't speak all the way.

When we were about to reach the gate of the city, a person suddenly flashed out and blocked our way, and I could see clearly in the moonlight that it was General Qinnan.

At this time, Qin Nan's face was cloudy, and her feminine face seemed to be so black that she was about to drip, and said, "Prince Jinmo, if you let her go, the Empress Dowager Yaotian will be unhappy." ”

Chu Jinmo looked directly into Qin Nan's eyes and said, "You want to stop me?" ”

Qin Nan sighed and stepped aside, Chu Jinmo stopped looking at him and strode forward. I quickly followed him, and when I passed by Qinnan, he said, "I let you go because you saved Whitewater City, you can go!" ”

I whispered, "Thank you!" ”

Out of the city gate, Chu Jinmo's cronies were already waiting with two horses, and Chu Jinmo and I each rode a horse and galloped towards the outside of the city.

After a night's rush, it is estimated that there will be no more pursuers, so Chu Jinmo and I stopped to rest.

"Why did the Empress Dowager Yaotian do this?" I asked.

Chu Jinmo took out half of the cake and handed it to me, saying, "Your plan to burn the eagle's intestines impressed my mother, and she thinks that you are a strange woman who can stabilize the country." She wants you to assist An Guo, so she arranges it this way. ”

I took the cake in Chu Jinmo's hand, took a bite, and said curiously: "Isn't it you who inherits the throne?" After finishing speaking, I realized that what I said was very inappropriate, and it sounded as if I was saying that I should marry him Chu Jinmo.

Chu Jinmo raised his head and looked at me with those ancient well-like eyes, at this moment, his eyes were no longer cold, but replaced with a gentle gaze.

"If the heir to the throne is me, you..."

I knew I had said the wrong thing, and I was speechless for a while, so I had to bow my head and remain silent.

Chu Jinmo looked at me for a while, sighed, and said, "Actually, the person who inherited the throne in my mother's heart has always been An Guo, not me. ”

I can't help but feel sorry for him in my heart, he is heroic, courageous and knowledgeable, and he is definitely a rare talent. And Na Chu Anguo is young and ignorant, has no achievements, and only knows howling and crying when he encounters things.

How could the Empress Dowager Yaotian, who was able to break her wrist and retreat from the enemy, be so indiscriminate? It seems that this habit of favoring the youngest son is not only in the Central Plains, and there are cases in many dynasties.

Chu Jinmo continued: "You asked me before, why did we look for Huo Quai, I didn't know if you were friend or foe at the time, so I didn't tell you. Do you want to hear it now? ”

I immediately nodded: "I would like to hear about it!" ”

Chu Jinmo said slowly: "This matter has to start from a thousand years ago......

A thousand years ago, there was a powerful country in the Western Regions, called Yuexi. The terrain of Yuexi is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the reigning king of Yuexi at that time has been implementing benevolent government.
