"After I was injured in hunting that day, I recuperated in the palace for about three months, and when I recovered, I thought that my life could be said to have been saved by Zina, and that they would not ask for our reward, so I thought I would go to her and give her some supplies to show my gratitude." ”

Ayimu praised: "My sister knows how to repay her kindness, and her heart is really kind. ”

Wu Yi smiled slightly, and said: "But when I saw her, her grandmother had just died, and there was no money to bury her, so she had no choice but to sell the two sheep raised at home, in exchange for some money, and then the funeral was completed. ”

Ayimu sighed slightly, and said in his heart: "This time I entered the palace, Zina's fate can be said to have changed completely. But who could have expected all this, it was really a chance and a coincidence. ”

Wu Yishi continued: "After entering the palace, she waited for me for a while, and we got along very well, and it didn't take long for me to marry the crown prince and become the crown princess." According to the rules of the palace, the palace attendants of the crown princess need to be arranged by the prince, and Zina was arranged to go to other palaces as maids, and since then I have seen Zina less. Occasionally, she told me happily that she was doing well, so that I didn't have to worry about it, and I washed the silk handkerchief she used to save me, and embroidered a plum blossom in the corner of the silk handkerchief, and gave it back to her. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Yi opened the silk handkerchief again, unfolded a corner, revealing a bright red plum on it, and Wu Yi said: "This plum blossom is embroidered because it is homophonic with the word 'no' in my surname." Ayimu actually knew that there was a red plum on the corner of this silk handkerchief, but he never thought that there was such a origin, and when he heard her say it at this moment, he suddenly realized.

"Later, I went out with the crown prince with the army, and I was away most of the time, and after I returned to the palace, I heard that Zina was killed by her father because she let go of the 'Xixia princess'. I also asked the prince to ask around, but the prince told me that after my father executed her and the monks of Jietan Temple, they were all thrown to the Black Wind Valley to feed the wild wolves, and the bones were long gone. Now that I think about it, it must be that the prince doesn't want me to be too worried, and deliberately hides it from me, so that my long pain is better than a short pain. At that time, I cried a lot, I was sick for more than half a month, and after I recovered, I gradually forgot this sad incident. I never expected that today, by chance, I would see this silk handkerchief here again. Good sister, you said that Zina is your good sister, but you only entered the palace later, how did you recognize her?"

Seeing that the Wuyi clan was so sincere, Ayimu thought to himself that he should tell the truth, so he said: "Sister, in fact, I have always wanted to tell you that I am the missing 'Xixia Princess' Ayimu. ”

Wu Yi smiled: "Thank you sister for confessing, in fact, I have long had doubts in my heart, but I am not sure, and I have a question, why did my sister go and return?"

Ayimu then told himself how he did not succumb to Li Yuanhao's obscenity, forced him to die, and was finally imprisoned in the palace, until he later burned incense in the Jietan Temple, escaped with the help of Zina, and went through the dangerous situation of the Tibetan prairie and snow valley, and met the two righteous brothers and sisters One by one, he listened to it, and told him that he was not only to help the righteous brothers and sisters regain a strange book, but also to avenge the murder of his father. After a pause, he hated and said, "I also want to avenge my good sister and my sinned Zena." ”

Wu Yishi was very surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but hold Ayimu's hands and said: "Sister, you also know that Li Yuanhao is extremely cruel, and you want to risk assassination, which is very dangerous." ”

Ayimu said: "No matter how dangerous it is, this bloody feud that killed my father must also be avenged, not to mention that Li Yuanhao also harmed Sister Zina, and also harmed you and the prince...... Sister, I also want to ask, how are you doing now?"

She didn't expect that her question seemed to stab the heart of the Wu Yi clan, which made the Wu Yi clan's heart hurt to the extreme, and tears fell from her eyes again: "Sister, I am now like a walking corpse, this Li Yuanhao, forcibly, forcibly took possession of me, tortured me endlessly, several times I was in pain, and chose the opportunity to kill myself, but I was found and stopped by the palace attendants he sent, and he threatened me with the lives of the family members, and now, I have to live for the sake of my family." Sister, I said that you have a similar temperament to me back then, and now it seems that I swallow my anger and submit to his obscenity, I am really far inferior to you, sister. ”

Ayimu hurriedly persuaded: "Sister, don't say that, you and I are in different situations, we have different encounters, you have so many family members whose net worth and lives are subject to Li Yuanhao, if I am in your position, I am afraid that I may not be as strong as you." There is a saying among the Han people that 'it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years', so sister, you and I must live well in order to plan for the future. ”

Wu Yi said again: "Yes, sister, I listen to you, we all have to live well." It's just that you said you want revenge, and I'm really worried. ”

Ayimu looked around at no one and said in a low voice: "Sister, don't worry, the prince and Xiangguo have already made arrangements, and they want to win Li Yuanhao in one fell swoop at the wedding ceremony of the 'Princess of Western Xia' tomorrow." ”

Wu Yi was surprised and delighted, but he couldn't help but worry about the danger. Ayimu said: "You don't have to worry too much, listen to the news that my righteous brother and sister have found out, and you have a great chance of success, as long as Li Yuanhao dies, your hard days will come to an end." ”

Wu Yi said: "Brother Ning Ling's crown prince has been abolished, if he and Xiangguo's plan is successful, I don't know if the people below will be willing to nominate him to the throne? I don't have to be this unlucky queen, it's just that I'm really worried that killing the king is a big crime, and if it succeeds, I don't know how many people will die." ”

Ayimu comforted: "Life and death have a fate, and wealth is in the sky." Sister, it would be a blessing if we could see the vengeance of the great revenge with our own eyes. As for the power struggle that follows, we will not participate in it, and it is better to protect ourselves. ”

Wu Yi thought for a moment and said, "Yes, let's take it one step at a time." If you don't think about it so much, you won't be able to accomplish anything. Sister, you just said that Zina has now had her tongue cut out, she can't speak, and she is washing clothes in the clothes bureau, and she suffers like this, so I immediately asked the inner chamberlain to ask for someone and transfer her to me, so that she will no longer be tired and suffer, sister, you say it's good. ”

Ayimu said: "Of course what my sister said is good, but you don't have to rush to ask for someone, you still need to choose the time after tomorrow, now is the most important moment, you must not attract Li Yuanhao's attention, if His Majesty the Crown Prince does it tomorrow, it will be safer to take Zina back to my sister." ”

Wu Yi said: "My sister is still thinking carefully, so let's do as you say." My sister is really reluctant to let you marry Tubo, if you take advantage of their affairs tomorrow and push away this family business, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone. ”

Ayimu said: "Sister, I am also very willing to accompany you, but how things will develop tomorrow is really unknown, and it is most important to ensure that His Majesty the Crown Prince and them succeed first." ”

Wu Yi said: "Good sister, the last canonization was the dress I prepared for you, and the clothes and accessories you will wear at the wedding ceremony tomorrow will still be prepared by me for you, so let's try it." You and I can talk all day today. ”

Ayimu nodded with a smile and replied, "Okay, then Sister Lao will take care of my sister." ”

Over there, Brother Ning Lingge also called Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi to the East Palace early in the morning, and ordered someone to take two sets of guards' clothes and let the two change their clothes in the room. Hu Zhenbang was originally a man, and he had no flaws after putting on the guard uniform. And Mu Hanyi is dressed as a woman, although she has changed into a guard's men's clothes, she looks like a beautiful young man who has not taken off her childishness, but it is very easy to attract people's attention, Hu Zhenbang and Ning Lingge are quite worried about being recognized.

Mu Hanyi looked in the mirror, took out some gouache and clay from his arms, smeared them on his face, and for a while he dressed himself as a young man about thirty years old. Hu Zhenbang and Ning Lingge saw her disguise technique, and they were greatly admired, if they met outside, the two would hardly dare to recognize each other.

Brother Ning Ling explained how to deliver gifts tomorrow one by one. Hu Mu and the others wrote it down, and after a little familiarity with the rules of the palace etiquette, they couldn't see the flaws at all.

That night, it was the eve of the wedding ceremony held in the palace, and everyone had their own thoughts and couldn't sleep at night. In the Jiangfu Palace, the Wuyi clan and Ayimu talked for most of the night, and the two of them were looking forward to revenge, but they were also worried about the failure of the move, so they naturally had no intention of sleeping peacefully.

Brother Ning Ling, the abolished prince in the East Palace, was also worried, not only afraid that the Yeli Langlie and Ayimu who he found would not be able to succeed, but also worried that after killing Li Yuanhao, the Prime Minister would not support himself as the king.

At the same time, in the two rooms next to the East Palace, Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi were tossing and turning on the bed and couldn't sleep, and the two also speculated in their hearts countless events and changes that might occur at tomorrow's ceremony, not only worried about Ayimu's safety, but also worried that "Wujing General Essentials" would fall into the hands of Li Yuanhao. Both of them knew that Pang had placed the three armies in various places around the palace, and in the event of a mutiny, it would inevitably be chaotic, and it would be more difficult to get the books and get out.

Everyone had their own hearts, and finally got up early in the morning, freshened up, bathed and burned incense, each performing its own duties, and each in its place.

Hu Mu and the others went to the prince's east palace early in the morning, carried the prince's gift box, and sent it to the emperor's Danxi Palace.

On the way to the palace, Hu Mu and the others looked around, and in just one night, the inside and outside of the palace were lit up and decorated with joy.

The front, middle and back three halls of the Great Xia Palace have been set up with red ribbons, and the palace doors and window lattices are everywhere to see the big red double happiness words, auspicious words, auspicious patterns, and auspicious paper-cuts.

On the blue and white brick and stone royal road from the Danxi Palace to the Jiangfu Palace, all are covered with red carpets, and there are hundreds of pairs of various colored lights on both sides of the royal road, which are arranged like a fairyland of the heavenly palace and a magpie bridge in the world.

As soon as the hour passed, all the civil and military officials gathered outside the Danxi Hall of the Imperial Palace, and Li Yuanhao sat on the dragon seat, and did not move the clan to sit on the right phoenix seat. Li Yuanhao asked, "Empress, how is the 'Princess of Western Xia' preparing?"

Wu Yi replied: "I am already waiting in the Jiangfu Palace." ”

Li Yuanhao said: "Very good, very good." ”

Not long after, the inner chamberlain came to report: "Your Majesty, the Tibetan envoy and national teacher Song Zanpu have sent a dowry to Tubo outside the noon gate. ”

Li Yuanhao was overjoyed and said, "What dowry did the Tibetan envoy bring?"

The chamberlain replied, "The first to be delivered are: 1,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, 500 pieces of satin, 20 camels, 18 horses, 80 green sheep, and a number of gold, silver, tea sets, and silver basins. ”

Li Yuanhao said: "In addition, does the envoy have anything specifically mentioned?"

The inner chamberlain said: "Back to the emperor, the Tibetan envoy said that there are 12 other volumes of scriptures to be presented to the emperor in person, and the emperor has to read it with his own eyes, and he can rest assured." ”

Li Yuanhao laughed and said: "Very good, very good, this Tibetan envoy is very sensible." ”

At this time, the auspicious time of Qintianjian has arrived, and the team of announcing the welcome of relatives has entered the noon gate, and is preparing to enter the palace through Chongyi Gate, Zhongtai Gate, and Daxia Gate.

Brother Ning Ling, Hu and Mu were all in front of the palace, and the hundreds of officials and ministers listened to the announcement ceremony to the court, and suddenly heard the horn whining, the drums were noisy, and a team of people and horses walked to the front of the hall from afar.

An old man on the horse, wearing a black sheepskin hat, wearing a yellow robe, holding a Zen staff, with a thin face and blazing eyes, although riding on a horse, he also looked extremely tall, it was Song Zanpu, the first master of Tibetan martial arts.
