Chapter 279: Return to the Heart! Back to Beijing! great victory

Next, all the gates of Wuchang City slowly opened.

The remaining more than 70,000 troops, all kneeling and surrendering, laid down all their weapons.

At this point, the Hunan army's power, which had been in China for more than ten years, came to a complete end.

Su Yu's more than 30,000 troops, lined up in neat steps, entered Wuchang City.

……………………

"Master Peng, my father meant that it was burned directly." Zeng Jize said.

Peng Yulin said: "Then burn it." ”

Someone next to him asked: "Then, do you want to invite the prince to come and watch the handsome being cremated?" ”

"Don't!" Peng Yulin said angrily: "The prince can come at the last moment, it is already the greatest dignity for the handsome, don't be delusional about the rest, don't forget, we are rebellious, we have publicly announced the crusade against Zhuwen." ”

Next, after Zeng Guofan's body was collected, Zeng Jize took matters into his own hands and burned it with fire.

Finally, after all the flames were extinguished, Peng Yulin and Zeng Jize stepped forward, swept the ashes on it little by little, and carefully loaded them into the jar.

Finally, Zeng Jize couldn't help crying.

Peng Yulin said: "Virtuous nephew, what are your plans?" ”

Zeng Jize said: "I plan to bring the urn to my side all the time, until I wash away the shame of the Zeng family, and then bury my father in the ancestral grave." ”

Peng Yulin didn't speak, and gently patted the other party's shoulder.

……………………

Next, the surrender work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The governor of Huguang, Saishang Alai, presided over the entire surrender work, which was undoubtedly a very trivial task.

And all the generals of the Hunan army are waiting.

My heart was full of anxiety and anticipation.

Zeng Guofan finally waited for Su Yu, and then committed suicide in front of him.

The fate of many people next depends on whether Su Yu finally meets him.

In the former Governor's Palace, Su Yu was reviewing official documents.

Thick official documents, countless every day.

This is just the official documents of Jiujiang, and many official documents of the imperial court, unless they are very important, cannot be sent to him.

Fu Shanxiang, the confidential secretary, wears a dignified uniform.

Hand in the last one.

Su Yu took a slight look, and it turned out to be his wife, Princess Shouxi.

When do husband and wife need to convey it in official documents?

When she opened it, Princess Shouxi said that the Yehenara clan wanted to meet with her, and asked Su Yu if she would allow it.

Su Yu grinned slightly, and reluctantly approved one on it: Accurate.

I felt that it was too serious, and drew a heart on the side.

Fu Shanxiang next to him couldn't help but sneer when he saw it.

"Yuan Yuan, can you find a successor?" Su Yu asked.

Because Fu Shanxiang is a female champion, Su Yu married her a nickname.

"I can't find it." Fu Shanxiang said: "What's wrong? Aren't people doing well? ”

Su Yu said: "No, everyone has children, don't you want it?" ”

Fu Shanxiang said: "I want to, but ...... and was reluctant to do this errand. ”

Su Yu said: "Then, then let it really work hard for a while, and replace you for a while." ”

Fu Shanxiang said: "Stupid girl, if she was smarter, she wouldn't need me to work so hard. ”

Even so, her words were full of doting.

Lin Xiang'er is a group pet.

Then, watching Su Yu finish reading the official document, Fu Shanxiang stepped forward and gently sat on Su Yu's lap, leaned up and kissed him on the cheek.

"It's very emotional to see a character like Zeng Guofan die like this." She pressed her face against Su Yu's chest and whispered.

Su Yu said: "People always think about another fork in the road, what would happen if they chose to take another road back then?" In particular, the road may lead to the dark abyss, which is even more palpitating. ”

"Hmm." Fu Shanxiang seemed to think of himself, and he didn't say anything, just used his fingers to draw a heart on Su Yu's heart.

"Alright, it's time for me to meet those people." Su Yu patted her round buttocks.

Fu Shanxiang reluctantly got up, kissed Su Yu on the lips again, and then left with the documents.

Pushed open the door and walked out.

Outside the courtyard, Zhao Liewen's eyes drooped to the ground, and he bowed and saluted, "Meet Madame." ”

Fu Shanxiang said: "Mr. Zhao, the prince invites you in." ”

"Yes."

Then, Zhao Liewen entered the study.

"Student, meet the prince."

Su Yu stepped forward to support him and said, "Last time I was in Jiujiang, I came and went in a hurry, and I didn't have time to say a few more words. ”

"You are temporarily transferred to the staff this time, and I have three ideas about where you will go next, and you choose one."

"First, you remain in the War Department Staff Office."

"In the second place, you go to the Army Academy to study first, and then if you pass the assessment, you will stay at the Army Academy to teach."

"The third place, a few years after entering my shogunate, will release a governor."

Zhao Liewen said: "Students choose the third type. ”

Su Yu said: "Okay, then you will start to play the role of my staff now." ”

Zhao Liewen said: "Yes." ”

Then, there was a list of dozens of people in front of Su Yu.

All of them are senior generals and high-ranking officials of the Hunan army.

Whom to meet and whom not to meet.

"Let Peng Yulin in." Su Yu said.

"Yes." Zhao Liewen.

After a while, Peng Yulin entered, knelt down directly on his knees and said, "Sinner Peng Yulin, please see the prince." ”

Su Yu looked at this person, and after a long time, asked, "Peng Yulin, there will be more than 100,000 prisoners in the Hunan army next, what do you think should be done?" Do you want to be integrated into the new army? ”

"Nope." Peng Yulin said: "The prince once gave grace to let the Hunan army train three divisions, and gave three division commanders. However, the Hunan army did not receive this great grace and still rebelled, so it must be severely punished and must not be incorporated into the new army. ”

Su Yu said: "Then what do you think should be done?" ”

Peng Yulin said: "The most fierce, greedy, and bloodthirsty Hunan army has all died in battle. ”

After more than ten years of fighting, many Hunan troops have become brutal and difficult to change.

Historically, the Qing court did not know how much effort it had spent for this army, but mutinies, troubles, and even murder of Shangguan still happened.

Therefore, before his death, Zeng Guofan not only took away Li Xubin and Zeng Guoquan and other senior generals who were strongly hostile to Su Yao, but also took away the most fierce and ferocious group of people in the Hunan army.

Peng Yulin said: "These hundreds of thousands of people have a certain degree of military literacy, and they are used to being arrogant, unlike the Taiping Army, which can endure hardships. If it is sent to the factory, the mine, I am afraid and restless. Therefore, all of them were sent to the Guanwai Reclamation, and they were captured in the same way as the Taiping Army. Moreover, even officers at the level of company commanders are veterans of the new army, disabled veterans, and they have a comprehensive grasp of these people, half peasants and half army. ”

"It's not good for this group of people to be put back in the township, otherwise they will become empty villages and land ruffians."

Su Yu nodded, but did not respond directly.

"Where to go, do you have an idea?" Su Yu asked.

Peng Yulin said: "The villain wants to return to his hometown to teach. ”

Su Yu was silent for a while.

And when Peng Yulin said this, he was also a little difficult to say, not because he was unwilling, but because he had no fame.

So, he explained: "The villain has no fame and is not highly educated, but he has a certain amount of money and connections, so he wants to open a academy and teach and educate people from now on." ”

This is the path that Zeng Guofan assigned to him.

Hope, in the wild.

Make friends with scholars all over the world, celebrities all over the world, and run for Su Yu's future persuasion.

Do public opinion foreshadowing.

It's just that Peng Yulin can't say it so clearly.

Su Yu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "You, you better go to the Navy Yamen." ”

"Reduced to seven grades, walking in the navy yamen."

This person is the founder of the Hunan Army Naval Division, and in history, he was the governor of Liangjiang and the minister of Nanyang trade, or ...... Don't waste your talents.

Peng Yulin was slightly stunned, that ...... What about the task given to him by Zeng Guofan?

Su Yu said: "I know that Zeng Guofan probably said some nonsense to you, and he wants to find a dragon and so on." ”

"He's thinking too much."

Su Yu said: "I really didn't want to come to see him for the last time, but when I was in the Seven Provinces Alliance, he still cooperated more than confrontation, so I still came." ”

"This person seems to be decisive in doing things, but in fact he is ......"

"Forget it, anyway, don't learn from him."

Peng Yulin bowed down and said, "The villain thanks the prince Longen." ”

Then, he retreated.

Then, Su Yu said: "Let Zeng Jize come in." ”

A moment later, Zeng Jize, the son of Zeng Guofan, entered, knelt down and said, "Student, see the prince." ”

Su Yu said: "You, enter the Imperial Army Academy to study." Of course, it's not for you to join the army, there are a lot of courses in it, go and broaden your horizons. ”

"Later, I'll talk about it later."

Zeng Jize kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

The next one to come in was Luo Bingzhang.

For Peng Yulin and Zeng Jize, Su Yu was polite, but he was very unkind to Luo Bingzhang.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Su Yu roared angrily: "When Zeng Guofan and the others decided to go to the dark, you didn't agree with it in your heart, and Peng Yulin didn't agree with it in your heart. But Peng Yulin can't object, and you Luo Bingzhang can't oppose either? ”

"Among the Hunan army factions, you are the oldest, why don't you speak?"

Luo Bingzhang kowtowed: "The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty." ”

"You are guilty." Su Yu said angrily: "Didn't Zuo Zongtang write to you?" How many letters have been written to you? You obeyed him before, why didn't you listen this time? ”

Luo Bingzhang was sweating profusely, and continued to kowtow: "Minister...... Guilty. ”

Su Yu said: "You are not young, don't be an official, give you a decent retirement." ”

"Yes, the old minister Xie Wang Ye Longen."

Su Yu said: "But don't be too idle, go to Jiujiang to live for a year and a half, see more, communicate more." ”

"Your Hunan army has accumulated a lot of money, some of which I have to collect from the treasury, and now the imperial court is also very poor. But I also left some for you, and you went back to Hunan to run a school. ”

"But let me remember, this school is not as messy as Zeng Guofan thought. It is necessary to set up a new-style school to cultivate talents for the next comprehensive Westernization movement. ”

"When the Westernization Movement is fully carried out in the future, there will still be insufficient talents in Jiujiang, and it will depend on the new school."

Luo Bingzhang kowtowed and said, "The minister must do a good job of the errand given by the prince." ”

Su Yu's voice softened a little and said, "You are older, be calmer, don't be happy and sad." But we still have to keep things in our hearts, keep our ambitions, and still think about doing great things. Centennial plan, education-oriented. Once you feel a little uncomfortable, send someone to Jiujiang and let the doctor over there show you that you are a long-lived person, and you will worry about the country for a few more years. ”

Finally, Luo Bingzhang couldn't help crying and said, "Minister...... Thank you, Lord Longen. ”

Su Yu stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help him up.

"Zhao Liewen, help me send Lord Luo."

"Yes."

Then, Zhao Liewen helped Luo Bingzhang out of the Governor's Palace.

Walking all the way to a place where no one could be seen, Luo Bingzhang couldn't help crying anymore.

Unexpectedly, Su Yu gave him this errand in the end.

Centennial plan, education-oriented.

How important?

How noble?

Although Su Yu didn't say it verbally, he must have allocated a lot of money to him.

Especially that sentence, you must keep things in your heart, keep your ambitions, what good intentions.

It's really a thunderbolt method, the heart of the Bodhisattva, and the mind of a Ming Jun has not been seen for a hundred years.

Next, look at the next name on the list.

Li.

Su Yu frowned, and almost couldn't help but want to pick up the pen and draw a big cross directly on it.

He exhaled a long breath and said, "Let Li Hongzhang come in." ”

A moment later, Li Hongzhang entered, kneeling on the ground.

"Sinner, see the prince."

Su Yu said: "Li Hongzhang, what are you going to do next?" ”

Li Hongzhang said: "Minister, obey any grace of the prince." ”

Su Yu said: "I want you to say it yourself." ”

In this tone, there was a dislike in it, and after Li Hongzhang heard it, his heart twitched and his back was cold.

"Sinners, sinners, willing to return to their hometowns to teach."

Su Yu said: "You can't teach. ”

Although Li Hongzhang is a dignified jinshi, Su Yu said that he can't teach.

Li Hongzhang clearly felt that Su Yu's patience was about to run out, and cold sweat continued to break out all over his body.

After a while, he kowtowed and said, "Sinner, I am willing to go to the gate and bring people to reclaim the land, starting from the beginning." ”

Su Yu nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Li Hongzhang kowtowed and said, "Sinner, retire." ”

Next, it's Li Hanzhang.

This person is only average in all aspects, and he is barely good.

He also makes money, but he eats well.

But Su Yu's patience with them was almost exhausted, that is, he said a few words casually.

Dismissal, dismissal.

But the fame is reserved for you, and you have no hope in your career.

The specific path to take, you can see and do it yourself.

After Li Hanzhang returned to the house, he and Li Hongzhang faced each other, their eyes red.

Li Hongzhang said: "Lord Wang, my disgust with me is clearly visible. ”

Li Hanzhang said: "Although the prince is tired of you, he ...... But I still like your talent and am willing to give you the opportunity to start from scratch. He just ignored me. ”

"This, how should this be good, how should it be good?"

Su Yu is so young, he will rule the world for decades in the future, and after being ignored by him, his career will be completely hopeless.

Now that Su Yu is in short supply of talents, he can't even look down on Li Hanzhang, let alone in the future?

Li Hongzhang said: "Did the prince say that he would confiscate our family's money?" ”

Li Hanzhang said: "That's not true. ”

Li Hongzhang said: "Brother, let's go into business, and then we will carry out the Westernization Movement, and there are many ways." You go to Jiujiang for a while, take a good look, study hard, and find a way to do business. ”

"I heard that the high-end residence in Jiujiang is about to be sold to the outside world, so my brother went to buy a set, and didn't care about anything, so he lived in Jiujiang for a year and a half, looking for opportunities."

Li Hanzhang said: "That's it. ”

Li Hongzhang sighed and said: "We don't want to get Longwangshu, ordinary people rebelled, and they would have been killed a long time ago, Lord Wang...... It's already a lot of tolerance. ”

"Look at the northwest, many hundred-year-old clans have been killed and killed."

"Although the prince is tired of us in his heart, he ...... In the end, they treat us as if we were half of our own. ”

…………………………

Next, the 1st, 9th, and 10th divisions rested for a while, and then immediately assembled and headed north for the Heilongjiang battlefield.

With the end of the Battle of Wuchang, astronomical capital poured into Jiujiang.

Although a few of the surviving high-ranking members of the Hunan army still got errands, most of them were exempted from errands, but most of the money accumulated in the past ten years was still saved.

Su Yu confiscated a large part of the public property of the Hunan army and allocated more than one million taels of silver to Luo Bingzhang, which was stored in the Jiangnan silver number and used to run a new-style school.

Luo Bingzhang has no other skills, and honesty is first-class.

This group of people who were dismissed from their official positions and lost their errands all went to Jiujiang to buy properties and look for opportunities.

In their opinion, the closest place to power and money at this time may not be the capital, but Jiujiang.

Therefore, this batch of luxury houses opened in Jiujiang were almost completely snapped up.

Even after many people buy it, they can sell it immediately after increasing the price by 50%.

We may have no way out in the officialdom, but the next thing is to start a Westernization movement across the country, which requires a lot of private capital, and we just put money into it and graft it on the power tree of Su Yu in another way.

It's really ridiculous to say that at that time, Su Yu gave such generous conditions, but they didn't agree.

Now they are scrambling to get the scraps.

But...... That's it, they're still first-class smart people.

I can still seize the opportunity more than the vast majority of people, and maybe in another decade or two, many of them will be able to rise again and become industry tycoons.

And Su Yu will not stop this group of people from moving forward.

Princess Shouxi received Su Yu's reply, and saw that it was written on it, and a heart was drawn.

She couldn't help but purse her lips and kiss her on that heart.

"Our lord is really a confidant." Mama said: "The ancestor is probably the only one with such a temperament, probably only Emperor Sejong, but our prince is much more open-minded than Emperor Sejong, and his ability is much greater, and he is much more handsome." ”

This etiquette grandmother is also from a large family and has read a lot of books.

But after saying this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he felt that he had made a taboo.

Because, how could she compare Su Yu to Emperor Sejong?

But Princess Shouxi didn't blame, and smiled at Mama Lijiao.

Looking at the baby daughter in the cradle, who was staring at herself with wide eyes, Princess Shouxi began to hesitate whether to hold her daughter to see Yehenara.

"Don't take it away, lest you be remembered." Mama Lijiao knows that she shouldn't be the princess's master.

However, she still couldn't help it.

Because she grew up watching the princess, she was ostensibly a master and servant, but in fact she was like her own daughter.

She doesn't care about what she loves Xinjueluo or something. She just wants Princess Shouxi to be happy and luxurious.

Although she was born in Baoyi, she didn't think that this Qing Dynasty was so good.

……………………

"Meet the Queen Mother." Princess Shouxi bowed sideways.

When the two met, they were slightly stunned.

Because the Yehenara clan is wearing the clothes of the queen mother, and he is single-eyed.

And Princess Shouxi is not wearing the clothes of the county king Fujin at all, nor is it the service of Princess Heshuo, but the special princess dress specially created for her by the Royal Garment Bureau.

Luxurious, simple.

Moreover, it is really embroidered with a golden dragon.

Both sides were a little surprised by each other's attire.

Yehenala quickly reacted and said, "Sixth sister, your dress is really good-looking, what are the eyeballs on this dragon?" ”

Princess Shouxi said, "Ruby." ”

Yehenala stepped forward and said: "This embroidery is really good, no less than Jiangnan weaving." ”

Princess Shouxi sat down and couldn't help but frown.

This is a manor villa by the river, specially designed by Su Yu (in fact, it is not, it is the design of the white prostitute)

This manor is almost the best in the whole of Jiujiang, full of infinite design sense, and even breaks the boundary between Chinese and Western aesthetics.

The lines, the tones, are all well designed.

Su Yu and his wife did not live in, but gave this manor villa to the Yehenala clan.

Originally, Yehenara was also wearing clothes full of design here, which were comfortable and good-looking.

But today, she is wearing the clothes of the queen mother, and An Dehai is also wearing the service of a eunuch outside, and even Zhu Sanniang and other palace maids are also wearing palace clothes.

In this way, it is incompatible with this villa.

"Why don't you bring the baby?" Yehnara asked.

Princess Shouxi said: "I'm afraid of making trouble." ”

When she came in, she did not see the daughter of the Yehnara clan.

The baby girl has already been taken to Tong Jia's side, and her name is temporarily registered in Bai Feifei's name.

Princess Shouxi felt that her grandmother was smart at this time.

If the Yehenara clan is willing to open their hearts, it is sisters to meet, and they generously put the two babies together to play, after all, they are sisters.

But this queen mother is hidden, even at this time, it is no longer a secret, and she doesn't want to show it in front of Princess Shouxi.

"I heard that the Queen Mother is going back to Beijing?" Princess Shouxi said.

Yehenara said: "Yes, the southern patrol has been for so long, if you don't go back, Jaechun will turn the sky upside down, and you don't know the character of the one in the east." ”

Princess Shouxi smiled.

Then, An Dehai brought tea.

Yehenala said: "Sixth sister, aren't you going back to Beijing?" ”

Princess Shouxi said: "Jiujiang is good, I don't want to go back to Beijing." ”

Yehenala said: "Sixth sister is worried that the capital is not peaceful? Rest assured, after this battle, no one will be able to threaten your safety, and it will be too late to confront your family. ”

Princess Shouxi said with a smile: "I have lived in Jiujiang for so many years, and I am afraid that I will not be used to it when I return to the capital." ”

"Jiujiang is really good." Yehenara said: "This palace is also reluctant to leave, but helpless." ”

At this time, An Dehai was still bent over and waiting on the side.

Yehenala said: "Sixth sister, this is the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, the best tea." ”

Princess Shouxi picked it up and covered it with her sleeve, as if she had taken a sip, but in fact her lips did not touch.

She hated Andher, and she didn't want to drink the tea he served.

"Sixth sister, how about going back to Beijing with me?" Yehenara said softly: "After I go back, you can help me in all aspects." ”

Princess Shouxi said: "It's inconvenient. ”

Yehenala said, "Are you worried that Su Yu will not agree? I'll go and talk to him, and I'll be sure to agree. ”

Princess Shouxi said: "Niangniang, I also have a bunch of things in Jiujiang, and I can't leave." ”

This princess, after all, will not be vain.

Just straightened up and refused.

And at this time, the queen mother is the king, and she is a minister.

As a result, she was not polite at all and refused to go back.

Yehenara's face changed slightly.

She wanted to say in her heart, as the daughter of Aixin Jueluo, what are you doing in Jiujiang if you don't go back to Beijing?

After you return to Beijing, you will be able to return to your original role and become Su Yu's Fujin.

And in Jiujiang, what do you keep shouting about?

Princess?

When did this dynasty have a princess?

Yehenara was arrogant, and after being rejected by such a prick, he immediately said: "The next three years after the death of the first emperor, won't you return to Beijing?" Daoguang Ye, the mausoleum of the first queen mother is also in Tangling and Dingling, don't you want to go? ”

When Princess Shouxi heard this, she felt even more uncomfortable.

In those days, I naturally went to worship.

But what do you mean by these things morally suppressing me?

However, she was not good at Yehenara clan, and when she saw An Dehai standing sideways, she said irritably: "You minion, stay away from me." ”

After An Dehai heard this, his face changed, and he looked at the Queen Mother in fear.

Yehenara's face also changed.

Unexpectedly, Princess Shouxi was so angry that she turned her face and attacked.

But Princess Shouxi also felt in her heart that no one on my side could give me any anger.

My husband loves me and coaxes me, but my mother-in-law doesn't say anything about me, but you accuse me?

Then, Princess Shouxi found out with a slight trepidation.

Myself...... What does this mentality prove?

Despise the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty?

This...... Is this treating his own husband as the supreme?

So as a wife, has he also become domineering?

But she is the daughter of Aixin Jueluo.

However, it is imperceptible in Jiujiang, and it is even too easily affected.

In this place, the monarch of the court is almost non-existent, there is only one master.

That's Su Yu.

At this time, Zhu Sanniang brought two cups of ice drink and said, "Niangniang, Fujin, this is chilled plum juice, taste it." ”

Her face was soft, and her gaze at Princess Shouxi was full of respect and warmth.

Princess Shouxi said: "Is it bayberry juice?" ”

Zhu Sanniang said: "Yes, bayberry juice, the freshest bayberry." ”

Yehenara also took the opportunity to put away his expression and said with a smile: "Then I want to taste it." ”

Then, Princess Shouxi took it and drank it, it was sweet and sour, it was so delicious.

Then the two began to talk and laugh, talk about gossip, and no longer involved anything serious.

After chatting for another quarter of an hour, Princess Shouxi said goodbye and left.

……………………

After returning home, Princess Shouxi picked up her baby daughter.

Looking at her delicate little face, big black eyes.

It's so cute and so well-behaved.

She looks like her.

Princess Shouxi's heart was complicated, and she really hadn't thought about this issue before.

Will she be a princess, or a Fujin, or a princess Heshuo?

What if that day does come?

"What do you want to do so much?" Princess Shouxi said: "The moment the imperial brother married me to Su Yu, it was already clear that I don't need to take on any mission." ”

"I am my husband's wife, I am the sister of the fourth sister, and I am the baby's Enie."

"My heart is small, and I can't hide something that big."

"Yes, baby."

"Oh, yes."

"The baby also thinks it's right, why is the baby so smart, do you know what is in Enie's heart?"

…………………………

A few days later.

Chen Yucheng, Lai Wenguang, and Wang Tianyang led the army north.

Yehenara took a luxury boat and traveled north along the canal to return to Beijing.

Today, all the rebels in the south have been wiped out.

And with a strong naval arch guard, the elite first division no longer has to be dragged in Jiujiang.

The defense of Jiujiang was officially handed over to Wei Jun, the commander of the garrison division.

The first general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom finally took up an important post.

Before leaving Jiujiang, Su Yu accompanied Princess Shouxi.

After all, she couldn't help it and complained fiercely about Yehenara.

After exhaustion, he fell asleep with his limbs wrapped around Su Yao.

This sleeping appearance is indeed indecent.

The next day, Su Yu also officially went north.

……………………

The capital, Prince Hui's mansion.

The war report in the south, eight hundred miles is urgent.

Anqing won a big victory, Wuchang won a big victory, and it was an unprecedented brilliant victory.

Zeng Guofan committed suicide, and the Hunan army was destroyed.

This great victory, in the shortest possible time, spread throughout the capital.

Prince Hui returned to the palace in despair.

I looked at Bai Aya.

Another box was opened, and it was poisonous.

Pick one, damn it.
