An hour later, Bai Yixue returned to the stone house, only to see Baili dyed sitting on the wooden bed, looking at herself with a smile, and quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground.

Baili Wanran smiled and said, "Xue'er, you're back, it's good." Get up. ”

Bai Yixue stood up, and then explained in detail how Fang Cai and the Three Uniques of the Western Regions had made a move. After hearing this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Xue'er, it is really gratifying that you can repel the Three Uniques of the Western Regions, but it is a bit flattering to win this time." As he spoke, he pointed out the deficiencies in his moves one by one, and explained the mystery in detail, until Bai Yixue understood it thoroughly, and more than an hour passed.

After all the explanations were completed, Baili Wanran said: "Xue'er, the Three Masters of the Western Regions came this time, and saw that my injuries were not serious, they were already afraid and lost their sharpness, so after finding out the truth and reality, they left in a hurry. But despite this, it is not easy for you to repel the famous Three Uniques of the Western Regions in one fell swoop. ”

Bai Yixue was both admired and ashamed in her heart, and said, "Yes." I thought to myself: "Today, there is a hundred miles of seniors in the town, scaring away the Three Uniques of the Western Regions, which can be regarded as a kind of fox and fake tiger might, but how can I always ask his old man to suppress the formation for me? ”

Baili said: "Xue'er, the cold poison in your body has not been completely dispelled, and the internal force is still shallow, although the Suqin swordsmanship is wonderful, but if there is no profound internal force, it will be difficult to achieve the realm." As the saying goes, 'The master leads the way, and the cultivation is in the individual.'" As long as you are willing to work hard, don't be greedy for merit, eight years, ten years, or twenty years, thirty years, and the kung fu will be complete. I hope you will be able to practice diligently in the future, gain enlightenment, learn something, and become a real great swordsman. ”

Bai Yixue's heart was agitated, and she said in a trembling voice: "Yes, the younger generation remembers the teachings of the predecessors. ”

After this night, the next day was the twenty-second day of the lunar month, and the new year was approaching. Baili dyed and white-clothed snow entered the mountain early in the morning, hunted a wild boar and several hares, and returned with a full load. When passing through Gaobu Town, Bai Yixue sold wine in the market town, and the two returned happily.

In the evening, an old man and a young man peeled the skin of a hare and cleaned it up, put oil, salt, sauce, and soy sauce, and simmered it in the pot for more than an hour, and the fragrance was fragrant. After making a few more vegetarian dishes, the two sat down and drank a few cups together, and the fatigue of the past few days was swept away, and they felt very relaxed. After dinner, Bai Yixue chatted for a while with Baili Wandye, and then washed up and prepared to rest early, when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door.

In the mountains at night, since few people came, Bai Yixue felt a chill in his heart: "Could it be that there are still uninvited guests on Chinese New Year's Eve?

But the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the man had come to the door of the stone house in a moment and stopped. Bai Yixue thought to herself: "This person's pace is extremely fast, and his skills are not weak." With his sword in hand, he stood behind the wooden door, holding his breath and preparing to meet the enemy.

The outsider said loudly, "Is Mr. Baili resting?"

Baili Wanran heard the man's voice, "Ahhhh

The man outside the house: "Exactly." ”

Baili said with a smile: "'Those who enter my room, but there is a breeze, to my drinker, only the bright moon.'" Wouldn't it be nice for the old man to come to visit? It's freezing outside, so I'm waiting for you to come in. ”

The white-clothed Xue Fang knew that it was an acquaintance who had been dyed for hundreds of miles to visit, so he hurriedly stepped forward to open the wooden door, and the person stepped in with a cold air, and saw Baili Dye come forward to sing a salute. Bai Yixue saw that he was about forty years old, and he was born with a lofty and majestic appearance, and he was very heroic.

Hundreds of miles of dyeing introduced Cheng Kun and Bai Yixue one by one. Cheng Kun was one of the commanding envoys in front of the palace, and he hurried from Lin'an City overnight. In front of the palace, they all commanded the positions of the envoy and the bandu, and in front of the palace, they commanded the envoy and the commander of the envoy Minghuali, the deputy commander of the envoy Duanmu Kemi and the deputy commander of the envoy Mu Hancha, and was above the leaders of the forbidden army such as Rong Xiang.

Cheng Kun sat down and looked around the house, and said: "Mr. is so cold, Cheng Mou's heart is uneasy, if the Queen Mother and her old man know, they will definitely blame the villain for being lazy." Sir, when I returned to Lin'an, I sent someone to ...... here."

Baili Dyan smiled faintly, and interjected: "The people of the mountains and wilderness have long been used to being quiet, and Yu Hou doesn't have to blame himself, and he doesn't need to bother. After a pause, he asked, "Yu Hou came in a hurry, I don't know what to tell me?"

Cheng Kun turned his head to look at Bai Yixue, his face was embarrassed, and said, "This ......"

Bai Yixue said with a smile: "I drank too much at night, and my body was so irritable that I wanted to go out to breathe." With that, he walked out of the stone house. The air in the mountains at night was cold, and when the cold wind blew, the white snow and snow had no intention of drinking, so they paced outside the house.

About an hour later, I only heard the "squeak" of the wooden door, and Baili Wanye and Chengkun walked out. Cheng Kun said loudly: "Brother Bai, I still have official business, so I will leave." In the future, when the Bai brothers arrived in Lin'an, Cheng Mou was the east, and they talked about it well. ”

Bai Yixue thought to herself: "Cheng Kun came in a hurry and left in a hurry, presumably something big happened in Lin'an." He arched his hand and said: "Yu Hou is polite, be careful all the way." ”

The two sent Cheng Kun away, returned to the house, and sat on the wooden bed in a daze, with a grim face, a deep frown, and a worried look, completely devoid of the usual free and easy. When Bai Yixue saw it, he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart, presumably Cheng Kun must have brought some important information from Lin'an City, although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to ask for a while, interrupting his thoughts.

An old man and a young man sat speechless for a long time, and suddenly said, "Xue'er, I'll go to Lin'an tomorrow." ”

Bai Yixue was quite surprised, and said: "Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, the seniors have to rush to Lin'an, right...... Is something going on in the city?"

Baili Wanran sighed softly and said: "The Queen Mother has suffered from eye diseases for many years, and a few days ago, the official family invited the Huangfu Tan Zhenren of Qingxu Nunnery to cure one eye for her. The official family was very happy about this and rewarded Huang Futan heavily. The official family thought that the queen mother's eyes were better, and she could enjoy Qingfu for a few more years, but ...... Since the beginning of winter this year, the spirit of the Queen Mother has become worse and worse, the official family is worried, and has not looked at the court for many days...... I'm afraid...... The Queen Mother can't survive her old man...... This year, ......" paused, and said: "The official family has dropped out of the dynasty for several days, and has no mental government, so Cheng Kun hurried to Baoshan to inform me of this information, and I am worried about ......."

Bai Yixue was taken aback and said, "The seniors are worried about the Queen Mother...... Is it really time for her old man to come to an end?"

Baili Wanran nodded slowly, his face was gloomy, and said: "After all, the Queen Mother is a person who has been in the Spring and Autumn Period, even if it is a minor illness or disaster, it will not be able to protect it...... Unable to keep it ...... Alas, I can't rest assured after all, it's better to go to Lin'an, and just to celebrate her birthday. ”

Bai Yixue said: "Okay, I'll go with you." thought: "Ling'er is very filial to the Queen Mother, and now the Queen Mother's body is getting worse and worse, and Ling'er must be worried." ”

Baili Wanzhi waved his hand and said: "Xue'er, this place is more than 100 miles away from Lin'an, your body has not yet healed, and you can't withstand the dust of the servants on this road, so you still rest here with peace of mind." I'll go and come back quickly, in a day or two, or three or five days, and I'll be back. ”

Bai Yixue was anxious when she heard this, and said: "As far as I know, the three absolute countries of the Western Regions are all in Lin'an City, and they are not good people, so they will never give up, or I will accompany you, and there will be many ...... on the way."

Baili Wanye interrupted: "I will be careful. With that said, I'll leave early tomorrow morning. Cher, you can prepare some water and dry food for me on the road. Seeing that her mind had been decided, Bai Yixue had no choice but to give up, although she was unwilling.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was still numb and bright, and after a hundred miles of dyeing, he packed up and set off. Baiyi Xue was reluctant to send him back more than ten miles away.

He returned to the stone house, and lay down on the bed sullenly, he wanted to sleep, but his heart was difficult to calm down, and he thought for a while, whether the road to the end of the hundred miles was smooth, and the body of the queen mother, I don't know if it was better? Can you hear about this cold winter? After a while, I thought again, the queen mother is seriously ill, Mo Lingsha will stay by her side, I don't know if I can see her on this trip?

Lying on the bed and thinking about it, I felt impetuous, and I saw that the sky was already bright, and I still didn't feel the slightest sleepiness. He thought about it for a while, but he never thought that Mo Lingsha at this time was experiencing a shocking change that was enough to change his fate.

The suffering of the world is the most bitter pain of parting. Since Mo Lingsha and Bai Yixue separated in Taining Temple, she has been depressed along the way, and Ning'er has thought of ways to make her happy from time to time, and it is rare to show a smile.

After returning to Lin'an City, she locked herself in the Calyx Pavilion every day, soft and tearful, thinking about everything she was thinking about was her sweetheart, although she was jade and brocade clothes, but she was depressed all day long, and her heart was full of helplessness and melancholy.

On this night, Mo Lingsha ate some snacks indiscriminately, and locked herself in the room alone, she sat on her knees, looking at the thick butter candles in the boudoir, she was stunned, and her heart was unhappy: "The Tanma sent to Taining Temple today has also returned, and there is still no news of Twilight, seeing that the one-month deadline is coming, Twilight, Twilight, how are you doing now? Are you recovering well? Do you ...... every day Do you miss you like me for years?"

Ning Mei thought again: "The old monk said that he would be able to go to the temple to pick up Duir Lang after a month, and I don't know if the old monk's words count? Hmph, when the one-month period is up, if I can't give me a good Twilight, I will tear down his Taining Temple!"

She grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, arrogant and willful, from childhood to adulthood, everything she wants, even if it is a star in the sky, the queen mother and the emperor are eager to take it off and give it to her, and the people around her, no one dares to resent. Now that the love is gradually opening, I have not only tasted the sweetness and happiness of the two loves, but also deeply tasted the rain and hatred of separation from my lover.

She was sad and sad alone, tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes, she raised her eyes and looked out the window again, the night was thick, dark and dark without a little bright color, and murmured: "Twilight, Twilight, the winter solstice has passed, why do you miss your night, but it is getting longer and longer...... 'The snow season is again', God, God, when will you have another heavy snowfall, so that I can see my Twilight?"

She was feeling sad when she suddenly heard someone knock softly on the door, and Ning'er's voice whispered outside the door, "Your Highness, are you sleeping peacefully?"

Mo Lingsha was suddenly startled and said, "What's the ......matter?

Ling'er's voice outside the door was slightly flustered: "Your Highness, you should go to Cining Palace to have a look in person." ”

Mo Lingsha stood up and opened the door, Ling'er looked nervous, standing at the door, with a pair of clear eyes, with a hint of horror, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the Queen Mother?"

Ning'er cried and said, "Oh no, Your Highness, Cining Palace...... Over there......"

Mo Lingsha was so anxious that he stomped his feet and shouted, "Alas, say it quickly, it's really urgent." What the hell is going on over there in Cining Palace?"

Ning'er said: "I listened to the little sister over there, and said...... Brother Xuan went to visit the Queen Mother in the palace at night, and for some reason, the Queen Mother was furious, and the Queen Mother was so angry that she was ...... Angry...... Fainting has passed...... At this moment, the doctor from the Tai Medical Bureau is urgently summoned......"

Mo Lingsha didn't wait for her to finish, and rushed towards Cining Palace. When I came to Cining Palace, a few feet away from the dormitory, I heard the Queen Mother say sharply: "Xuan'er, you ...... You haven't come to see me for a long time, but you came here tonight, did you want to kill me?"

Mo Lingsha was overjoyed when he heard this, followed by a surprise, happy that after the Queen Mother fainted, she woke up again, and she was not surprised;

She took three steps and made two steps, and when she came to the door of the dormitory, she heard Zhao Xuan say: "Grandma, if you don't help me this time, daddy...... Daddy is really going to pass on the throne to my brother!"

The Queen Mother said coldly: "How do you know?

Zhao Xuan said loudly: "Do you still need to tell me? Grandson got the exact news today, and his father will be promoted to the king in a few days." He's become a prince, and I'm still a prince of the county, isn't my father's mind clear?"

Mo Lingsha heard it clearly outside the door, and said in his heart: "It turns out that my father has already chosen Brother Yu among the two elder brothers, and I have been locking myself in the Calyx Pavilion these days, but I haven't gotten any information. Brother Xuan knew his father's thoughts, and he was angry, so he ran to the queen mother tonight to make trouble, which made her old man angry. ”

The Queen Mother said "oh" and said lightly: "No wonder I have been sick for many days, and I have never seen you come to see me." You came in a hurry today, not to see if I was better, but for this matter. ”

Zhao Xuan said: "My grandson knows that my grandmother is not well-founded, and I have always been worried about it, but I just ...... Recently, I have been busy with important tasks, and it is difficult to find time to visit your old man for a while. ”

The Queen Mother sneered: "I have sent people to look for you several times, but you have deduced that you have no time, dare you to love tonight when you heard that Yu'er was named a prince, so you have time to spare? Xuan'er, your father is wise, and you are secretly engaged in those small tricks, do you really think that he is completely unaware of them? As the old saying goes, 'the power cannot be exhausted, and the blessings cannot be enjoyed', and the old man advises you not to play those little tricks under his nose. ”

Zhao Xuan was taken aback and said, "This ...... The grandson does not understand the ancestors...... What to say......"

The Queen Mother said: "The rules of our Great Song Dynasty, foreign ministers are not allowed to make friends with the inner court, and royal relatives are not allowed to have a close relationship with foreign ministers, don't you know?"

Zhao Xuan was secretly surprised in his heart, his face was silent, and he said: "Grandma doesn't know, grandchildren do have some dealings with them in private, but that's all for the sake of our Great Song Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, in order to share the worries of his father, grandchildren have no selfishness." ”

The Queen Mother had a gloomy face, "hummed", and was silent.

Zhao Xuan said again: "Ancestor, the most painful thing you do on weekdays is your grandson, and your grandson understands it the most in his heart." This time, you must help your grandson and talk to your father......"

The Queen Mother said, "What did you say?"

Zhao Xuan hesitated for a moment and said: "The old ancestor said that the matter of Jin Feng's younger brother as the king was established, and the civil and military ministers in the court talked a lot, and the time is not yet ripe, so it can be slowed down." ”

The Queen Mother had a wooden old face, her muscles trembled slightly, and said, "What if he doesn't listen to me?"

Zhao Xuan smiled and said: "Daddy is obedient to his ancestors, and his filial piety is known to everyone in the world, as long as grandma opens his mouth, how can he not listen......? If Daddy is embarrassed, Grandma will let him be promoted to make me a prince, wouldn't everyone be happy?"

The Queen Mother said coldly: "Your father is indeed filial piety, but don't forget, our Zhao family also has an ancestral motto, that is, the harem and relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics." Do you want me to go to your father, are you going to trap your grandmother in a situation where she doesn't know the general situation and doesn't know the general situation?"

Zhao Xuan saw that her face was becoming more and more cold, and forced a smile: "How dare grandma? grandma treats grandchildren very much, how can grandchildren harm grandma?" frowned slightly, and quickly thought of persuading the queen mother in her heart.

The Queen Mother sighed softly, her face was slightly gentle, and she said, "It's hard for you to know that I love you the most." Xuan'er, the position of the East Palace, your father has his own decision, so don't go your own way. Your father is working day and night on state affairs and trying to do politics, you have to help him more in the future, so don't do anything wrong and make a mess. ”

Zhao Xuan's face changed drastically, and he said, "Grandma, has Daddy really made up his mind......?" Did I already tell you something?"

The Queen Mother opened one eye wide, stared at him, and said slowly: "It doesn't matter if you have spoken to the old body, the important thing is that your father has made up his mind." ”

Zhao Xuan suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "What if you make up your mind? Daddy, can't he change his mind?" A round face looked a little hideous because of the anger in his heart.

The queen was silent and said, "Xuan'er, it's not that your father wants to change his mind, but that you yourself want to change your mind." ”

Zhao Xuan said angrily: "What?!Daddy is too partial, we are all his sons, why does he want to treat me like this?"

The Queen Mother said: "Why do you say? He is for the Jiangshan Sheji of our Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhao Xuan was furious and shouted: "For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, which point am I inferior to him? Daddy has not rested? I will go to the Funing Hall to find him and ask him face to face!"

The Queen Mother trembled all over, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Evil obstacles, you...... You're coming back for me......"

Zhao Xuan just didn't hear it, and walked out quickly, and the palace maids of Cining Palace, seeing that he looked angry and corrupt, which one dared to stop him? He lowered his head and walked quickly, and suddenly someone outside the hall grabbed his arm, Zhao Xuan was furious, and shouted: "Bastard thing......" raised his right hand, and was about to slap someone, the man sneered: "Even me, you want to fight?"
