Qin Shuzhen sat alone in the room, facing the window, outside the window was the shallow white snow, and the plum blossoms that were still trying to bloom.

She was holding a cup of tea, which was clear tea, and it was not much different from white water.

She was wearing a sheepskin cloak, plain white, not very warm.

There was a faint melancholy between her eyebrows, and if you looked closely, you could see a faint trace of anger.

The door opened, the voice was soft, and the person who walked in was a maid with a bowl of green porridge, "Madam." “

Qin Shuzhen turned her head and smiled at the maid, "Just leave it here." ”

The maid nodded, and when she left, she hesitated, "Madam, you better eat a little." ”

Qin Shuzhen nodded, "Don't worry, I'll eat some." ”

After getting an affirmative answer, the maid's steps became brisk, and her steps were broken.

Qin Shuzhen didn't glance at the bowl of porridge.

If you sit quietly like this, you can sit for an afternoon, maybe a day. In fact, she hasn't touched since last night.

The eye-catching maid came over to add firewood to the fireplace, and heated the cold tea, but she did not refuse or say much.

Qin Shuzhen, just like her name, has a gentle temperament, no matter who she is, she is full of smiles, and she has never been angry with her subordinates. The only time was a miscellaneous servant who didn't know whether to live or die, thinking that Qin Shuzhen never cared about the following affairs, or that she had the permission of another princess, so she used the reputation of Nanyang Mansion to do business abroad, and after being dealt with by her with vigorous means, she remembered that this Nanyang Palace was still ruled by this princess, and this princess was the lady!

Therefore, few people dare to touch Qin Shuzhen's fire now, even if they remind them, they only dare to be cautious.

But the maids were all talking in private about what had happened, why had the lady become like this, and when was the last time she looked like this? The maids racked their brains to think about it, and then they remembered that the last time seemed to be more than ten years ago.

On that occasion, the prince encountered an unprecedented enemy, and after six months of hard fighting on the front line without success, the lady went. At that time, it was November, and Mrs. went to the front line to cheer for the prince, and the army's heart was surging like never before, so that station was won, and the Great Sui also won the world.

But when the lady went, she was seven months pregnant, and when she came back in the spring of the following year, her belly disappeared, but she did not hold the child in her arms.

After returning, the lady sat alone in the room for more than ten days, and no outsiders were allowed to step into the room.

I heard from the grapevine that Mrs. was about to give birth after winning the battle, but because of the negligence of the army, a group of enemy soldiers who were avenging the country were mixed in the base camp, and the whereabouts of the midwife who held Mrs.'s child in the chaos were unknown, along with the child.

There are maids who are talking in private, saying that if the lady did not go to the battlefield that time, I am afraid that there will only be one princess in this Nanyang palace from beginning to end.

。。。

The porridge is cold, a little faster than the tea.

Just as he sighed, he suddenly saw a head peeking out of the window, Qin Shuzhen smiled, "Shuang'er, why did you come here? What are you doing hiding outside the window? Come in!"

Su Shuang called out to his mother and concubine, and then his head sank, and he listened to the sudden footsteps outside the window, and not long after, there was a sound of pushing the door. (After checking for a long time, I found that the children of the side concubine called the concubine mother, the mother concubine or Eniang, and Eniang was in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.) I felt that it was strange to call my mother, so it was better to use my mother instead. In ancient times, most of the children of the side concubines called their biological mothers as their aunts, and took the main concubine as their own mothers, so it was not unfounded. After that, this article is not a historical article, so you don't need to delve into it. Of course, if there are scholars who are proficient in history who feel that it is wrong, they can put it forward and accept it. ）

Su Shuang trotted over, stood in front of Qin Shuzhen and called out to the concubine again.

Qin Shuzhen smiled and asked, "Why did Shuang'er come here? Didn't your mother ask you to study today?"

Su Shuang replied: "I've already finished reading, even the words have been written, I heard that the concubine was unhappy in the past two days, so Shuang'er came to see the concubine!"

"Really, are Shuang'er really that good?"

Su Shuang looked proud, "Shuang'er has always been very good!"

Qin Shuzhen smiled, and her mood was much happier.

Su Shuang hesitated and asked, "Is it because of my brother?"

Qin Shuzhen was a little stunned, "What brother, hasn't Jin'er always been very well-behaved?"

Su Shuang muttered, "I'm not talking about Su Jin, I'm talking about the brother outside." ”

Qin Shuzhen was stunned again, and asked with a smile, "Shuang'er, where did you hear these words?"

Su Shuangzhi didn't speak, Qin Shuzhen didn't ask anymore, and heard a knock outside the door again, Qin Shuzhen smiled apologetically at Su Shuang.

Su Shuang hurriedly said: "Since the mother concubine is fine, then Shuang'er will leave!"

Qin Shuzhen smiled and nodded, and sighed after watching Su Shuang run out of the door, the gloom on her face became thicker.

Walking in was a middle-aged man in a leotard. The limbs are long and he walks silently.

The man knelt on one knee in front of Qin Shuzhen and lowered his head, "Madam." ”

Qin Shuzhen didn't tilt her head, still looking out the window in a daze.

Everywhere Qin Shuzhen could see, there was no half figure at all. The maids and handymen had long known that they did not dare to walk outside this window, so they seemed lonely.

The man said again: "General Ouyang has already gone on the road, and he should have already received His Highness at this time." ”

Qin Shuzhen turned her head at this time, "How long has the green ant been gone?"

The man was stunned and replied, "It's about two months." “

Qin Shuzhen snorted coldly, "Two months?" But why haven't I seen you leave for two months?"

Beads of sweat dripped from the man's forehead.

Qin Shuzhen looked out the window again, "What about Old Qin?"

"I've been taken into custody, and I'm waiting for Mrs. to leave. ”

"Didn't resist?"

"Not yet. ”

"Even if he knows some things, he can commit crimes, but sending him to Lan'er is not a matter of asking him to do this kind of thing!"

The man hesitated and asked, "Madam, what do you need the villain to do?"

"That's it," Qin Shuzhen sighed, "Let's wait for the prince to come back and make plans." ”

The man nodded, and when he was about to retreat, Qin Shuzhen suddenly asked in a cold voice, "Will there be any more accidents?"

"Please rest assured, Madame, the villain guarantees with the head of the item, and there will be no more accidents!"

"How much is your head worth?"

The man was speechless.

"Well, since you can make such a guarantee, then I won't say more, if I come back. Qin Shuzhen muttered: "If you can't come back, this slap of mine can also make this huge Nanyang palace sweep away the filth!

The man was in a cold sweat.

If Madame doesn't do it, it doesn't mean that you can be at ease.

After recuperating in Luoyang for a month, I drove for more than 20 days, and when I could see Qionghu City from afar, it was November.

On the way, I encountered seven or eight assassinations, poison killings, traps, lonely girls who showed sympathy, and literati scholars who pretended to be elegant.

It's hard to prevent.

Jiang Lili especially remembered the girl, eleven or twelve years old, with two broken legs, squatting on the side of the road and looking at the convoy with silent eyes, as if she had no attachment to the world at all, and was silent.

Su Su's heart softened, and so did the green ants. He got out of the car and took the girl into the carriage and went to Qionghu Lake together.

It was only five days after she got into the carriage, and the girl's leg was much better under Wu Zhou's treatment, and although she still walked with a limp, she was at least able to walk.

Jiang Lili especially remembered the smile on this girl's face, which seemed to be the kind of sunshine that the iceberg had finally dissolved.

Jiang Lili didn't guard against her anymore.

She was poisoned.

Just when Jiang Lili ate the breakfast prepared by this girl and went outside to practice the knife, he suddenly felt his aura collide, his ten fingers festered, and a mouthful of blood spurted out for no reason.

Fingertips!

That girl didn't expect Wu Zhou to have the antidote to this poison.

After the green ant killed the girl, Jiang Lili once asked her, did you break your leg by yourself?

The girl nodded, and the smile on her face was gone, and it turned cold again.

Jiang Lili was silent.

And the most tragic of the seven or eight assassinations in the past twenty days was this time, three of the five assassins were qi refiners on the sixth floor, and Jiang Lili lost almost half his life!

If it weren't for the fact that it was night and Wu Zhou could help, Jiang Lili was afraid that he would really die here, and even the green ants of the fifth mountain would really not be able to protect him.

Jiang Lili remembered the indifferent smile on the girl's face, and also remembered the bloodstains on the withered yellow field. He finally knew one thing, that is, Sima Lan really wouldn't let himself live!

So when the carriage came, he chose to get in, whoever it was for.

It was very cold in November, and it is said that Cheng'an will be even colder.

......

Su Su was overjoyed, all she wanted was a life where she would open her mouth for food and stretch out her hands for clothes, and she would be really comfortable in the carriage at this time, and she didn't need to say anything when she was hungry, and the dark-eyed maid would bring all kinds of snacks. Not to mention that this carriage is much warmer than the previous one!

Wang Shan was cautious, for fear of angering the mildew of those guards, but he didn't expect that those guards were very respectful to him, so he was full of pride, thinking that he was not a chicken dog ascending to heaven? I had long known that adults were not ordinary teenagers, but I didn't expect that he was His Royal Highness of Nanyang Palace! This is the blood of the royal family! Despite this, Wang Shan was still cautious in handling things, no matter how big or small, he had to ask Jiang Lili before he dared to make a move, and he did not have any arrogance in front of those guards who respected him, and he did not forget his duty.

Except for the man who was the leader, the other soldiers and guards didn't say a word when they were walking, Wang Shan also admired it, thinking that this Nanyang Royal Mansion was really not a waiting mansion, and it was really well-organized!

From time to time, Wu Zhou was also summoned by Jiang Lili from the ghost raising bag to let go, and when he first called Wu Zhou out, he was seen by several guards, and he thought it was an assassin. The man at the head smiled, and said that His Highness was really a good blessing, and then didn't say anything more.

Maybe in the minds of these people, it is actually a common thing to carry a ghost with them?

And the name of the man who is the leader is Ouyang Mirror, and the word mirror is indeed the mirror of the mirror, and the posture of some women's names. In fact, he is a sturdy man, a typical doer who does more things than talks, and can even be regarded as a stuffy oil bottle. Jiang Lili was a little curious about why she had such a name, but she didn't ask much. Ouyang Jing is the head of the guard of the Nanyang Palace, and he was a general under the throne of Nanyang during the war, but his body seemed to have suffered quite serious internal injuries during the war, so he did not continue his military career. And because he did have a deep relationship with the king of Nanyang, he stayed in the palace of Nanyang after the war and became a captain of the guard.

After listening to Ouyang Jing's introduction to himself, Jiang Lili sneered, "What? This will be willing to send a guard leader to protect me? Why didn't Sima Lan hear any movement when he assassinated me before?"

Ouyang Jing said: "Your Highness, don't say this in the mansion." ”

"What, I can't say what I did? Nanyang Wangfu really has a face!" Jiang Lili's tone became more and more sour.

Ouyang Jing frowned, he just heard that the prince's widow had been found, and after getting the order, he hurried to greet him, although he had heard some rumors, he also knew that it was the reason, and he didn't say much. I also heard that the widow had stood still in the midst of many assassinations, and I was still a little happy in my heart, and I was even more relieved to see Jiang Lili practicing his sword in the wind and snow every morning. But I didn't expect that after a few days of contact, I found that this child actually looked sour, and he didn't have half of the prince's courage at all, so he was a little displeased.

After pondering for a long time, Ouyang Jing said: "Your Highness, don't spoil the door style of Nanyang Palace's mansion for these rumors. At the end, he said: "If Your Highness has the courage, you can do it yourself, and there is no need to say more." “

Jiang Lili sneered, "Are you teaching me a lesson?"

"The subordinates don't dare. ”

Squinting his eyes slightly, Jiang Lili said, "Do you think I will really make that Sima Lan better?"

Ouyang Jing didn't reply.

Jiang Lili said again: "You don't have to call my Royal Highness in the future, I'm just going through the motions, but I didn't think I really wanted to be a cheap son for others!"

Ouyang Jing opened his mouth, but in the end he just sighed and didn't speak again.

。。。

The snow is deep, and the further north you go, the deeper it gets.

It is said that Ruixue is a good year, but Jiang Lili really doesn't like snowy days, no matter what the reason.

I saw a huge city wall from afar, like a dragon, and behind the city wall was a huge Cheng'an!

Originally, Su Su had been saying that Jiang Lili actually jumped on the branch and turned into a phoenix, so wouldn't he be able to enjoy happiness with him?

On this day, Su Su finally walked in front of Jiang Lili worriedly, holding the rabbit in her arms for a long time, "Jiang Dog, no one will embarrass us when we enter the Nanyang Palace!"

Jiang Lili looked at the huge city wall and didn't speak.

Su Su leaned towards Jiang Lili's side.

The green ant smiled: "Don't worry, no one will embarrass you, Madame is in the mansion, no one dares to be presumptuous!"

Su Su finally breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly frowned again and looked at Jiang Lili, "Jiang Gou, shouldn't you have left me after thinking of that palace?" Let me tell you, if you dare to leave me, I will tell Lao Zhang!"

Jiang Lili frowned and said, "Why do you have so many things to do with this girl?

Su Su screamed, and after seeing that Jiang Lili still ignored him, his eyes rolled, and he bit Jiang Lili's hand violently, so painful that Jiang Lili Zhen jumped up directly, and almost hit the roof of the carriage.

Jiang Lili was very annoyed, "You yellow-haired girl is sick, be careful that I throw you down!"

Su Su snorted, sat in the carriage and raised her head to look at Jiang Lili, "You throw me down, see if I don't tell Lao Zhang!"

There was some smugness in his eyes, and there was also some smile.

Jiang Lili snorted twice, "I'm too lazy to bother with you!"

Su Su smiled and screamed that she was hungry.

Immediately, two maids walked in with snacks in their hands, and looking at the vegetarian who was eating with bulging cheeks, Jiang Lili scolded the pig.

Su Su was fierce, and made a look like he was going to bite it! Seeing Jiang Lili's somewhat stunned appearance, he chuckled.

The green ants laughed too.

Before you know it, the carriage has passed the city gates.
