[Seven-Five] I Long Song

"What did you say?!" Zhao Yiteng stood up all of a sudden, threw herself forward and grabbed the maid by the collar completely losing her manners: "Say it again!"

The maid's neck was so painful that she didn't dare to struggle at all, and tried her best to repeat what she heard from the eunuch when she was a child: "Princess, it's true, the emperor wants to marry you to the second prince of the Liao Kingdom, and now the second prince has passed away." live in the palace."

Zhao Yi's face was pale, and her whole body was on the verge of collapse: "Impossible, impossible, Brother Huang loves me so much..." The voice of retort gradually became weaker, she was a little afraid of Zhao Zhen since she was a child, what hurt her, these words It feels hollow and funny to say it from my own mouth.Zhao Yi is a flower that grows in the greenhouse, and her life depends on the owner of the flower house. Now the owner of the flower house wants to cut her off as a gift, and she has no way of refusing.

The maid's eyes were filled with tears, she saw her princess's face was pale, and her words seemed to resign herself to fate, she hurriedly took a few steps, hugged Zhao Yi's leg, and reminded her: "You are the only princess, how could she be willing to let you go away?" Marry, princess, you go beg your empress, let your empress beg your majesty!"

Zhao Yi seemed to have grasped the last straw, her eyes glowed with brilliance again, and said repeatedly: "Yuzhan, you are right, you are right, I will go to my mother now!"

Master Bao was still furious when he came back from the palace, not to mention that he was left in the palace by the emperor and didn't get enough of the imperial meal, and he was even pissed off by that dead crab all the way.As a result, as soon as they entered the Kaifeng mansion, they saw a large family in Kaifeng sitting around a big round table, with dinner already set on it, and several young people sitting next to each other, talking with smiles on their faces.Mr. Bao's heart suddenly warmed up, no matter what monsters and monsters he is, I, Da Song, still have these promising up-and-comers to support me!

Gongsun Ce's sharp eyes saw Master Bao coming back from afar.Originally, his complexion was rather ugly, but for some reason, after he was stunned at the door for a while, his complexion miraculously improved.So with a light cough, the four young men went up to meet him together, Gongsun Ce said: "We will have dinner together when the adults come back." Then he saw that Master Bao's face became clearer to the naked eye.

Zhan Zhao also saw it, and quietly gave Bai Yutang a look, what does that mean—Master Bao has also reached the age of a child who needs to be coaxed?The corners of Bai Yutang's eyes twitched, thinking to himself - You silly cat, I'm afraid you forgot how you needed someone to coax you last night.

The four of them all knew that Mr. Bao was angry in the palace today, so they all coaxed him sweetly. I can find a hint of annoyance.

Gongsun Ce saw that the hair had been smoothed out, and picked a less serious topic: "Wen Liejin's concubine Xuan Niang has been sent back to her hometown by someone, and she has changed her name and surname to start a new life. The person who came back said that Xuan Mother and parents are living a good life."

Master Bao nodded, very happy: "Well, in the previous case, only this lady Xuan was innocent, but Princess Zhaoyang asked me for someone several times, obviously wanting to put Niang Xuan to death, now I hear that she is safe and sound. Well, I'm finally relieved."

Yang Chizhang recalled what Xuanniang had said to them before she left, and suddenly had an idea: "Xuanniang once said that the people who killed Wen Jingyang were all masked in black, and she didn't even see her face clearly when she was hiding in the grass. I only saw one of the masked men holding a heavy bow in his right hand, with a dark and strange flower carved on it. Could it be the same group of people who shot and wounded Xiao Qingren and chased and killed Yeluni yesterday?"

Bai Yutang was playing with the wine glass in his hand, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "It's just a group of people. There are so many arrow users in the world, how could it be such a coincidence, one after another, we met people who carved such ominous flowers on their arrows?" What about the arrow master. I have already checked, the sharp arrow on Xiao Qingren's arm does indeed have a small black mandala at the end of the arrow."

"And do you still remember the old beggar we rescued before? A poisoned arrow almost killed him that day in the ruined temple. When Yutang chased him out, the killer had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a used one. There is also a mandala engraved on it." Zhan Zhao saw that Bai Yutang had said such a long word in one breath, and quickly poured him a cup of tea, took his words and continued: "As I guessed, it's right. This group of men in black must be behind the series of events."

Mr. Bao is well-informed, and with a single thought, he has already connected the previous and subsequent events from these few sentences: "Perhaps since the first case of severed fingers and mutilated corpses, this group of men in black has been hiding behind, Butcher Zhu, who is full of weirdness and forged letters of unknown origin, has not been explained clearly. It seems that Butcher Zhu will continue to dig deeper. Guard Zhan, you should go to Butcher Zhu’s house tomorrow, carefully Check it out."

"Yes, my lord!"

Master Bao let out a long sigh: "This group of men in black acted meticulously, organized and planned, and stirred up the wind and rain in Kaifeng step by step. There must be a bigger conspiracy brewing behind this."

Seeing this, Gongsun Ce comforted him and said: "Your Excellency has been an official for many years, and I have experienced even bizarre cases and treacherous conspiracies. I believe that nothing can trouble Your Excellency." Master Bao patted Gongsun Ce on the shoulder and saw four All the young people trusted him, and suddenly felt a little stressed. They stood up and patted their shoulders: "Oh, I'm getting older, this world is still dominated by young people."

Zhan Zhao, Gong and Sun Ce all turned black: Mr. Bao wants to throw everything to them again!snort!

In the palace, Zhao Yi was lying in the arms of her mother, Concubine Hui, crying pear blossoms with rain, hiccupping while crying: "Mother, I don't want to marry to the Liao Kingdom. I heard that people there drink blood and kill people without blinking an eye. Can you please help me, Brother Emperor?" Concubine Hui has never seen Zhao Yi cry like this, and her heart softened half at once, and then she thought that Zhao Yi was raised like a jewel like a treasure, let alone married. The Liao Kingdom is over, even if she gets married under her nose, she can't rest assured.So he immediately took out the brocade handkerchief and wiped his daughter's tear-stained face, and said distressedly: "Don't worry, mother will definitely not ask you to marry to the Liao Kingdom. Now I will ask the Queen Mother!"

Thus, the distraught Zhao Zhen, who was approving memorials in the imperial study, ushered in the call of his mother and queen.It must be explained that the queen mother here is no longer the queen mother Liu who was replaced by a civet cat for the prince, but his biological mother who suffered countless hardships and almost went blind in the common people—Concubine Li Chen, now the queen mother Li.Zhao Zhen is a true filial son, especially his biological mother has suffered so much. He has always felt guilty and felt that he is a son of man. Therefore, Queen Mother Li has been very obedient to her since she came back.

When Zhao Zhen stepped into the Longevity Palace where the Empress Dowager was, he saw not only the Empress Dowager alone, but also Concubine Hui sitting beside her, wiping the corners of her eyes with a brocade handkerchief.And the queen mother also held her hand and said something, as if to comfort her.

"The emperor is here!" A high-pitched voice sounded, and everyone fell to their knees in an instant, and the Queen Mother and Concubine Hui all looked over immediately.Then Zhao Zhen saw an embarrassed and helpless smile on his mother's face, and flicked his sleeves at Concubine Hui: "The emperor is here, you can tell yourself."

Zhao Zhen shuddered all over, and saw the tearful Concubine Hui turn her head, and explained to him what it means to "leave tears first when you want to speak".Zhao Zhen's whole body is not well. It seems that his mother is also scared by Concubine Hui's tears, otherwise she wouldn't ask him to come over to cover her.Concubine Hui didn't care if there were a group of court ladies and eunuchs watching, she knelt down to Zhao Zhen, which made Zhao Zhen jump.At this time, the queen mother couldn't let her go, and she scolded Concubine Hui's eldest maid: "What are you doing, why don't you hurry up and help your mother up!"

After a while of jumping around, Zhao Zhen knew what happened, and he couldn't laugh or cry.However, his mother also persuaded her from the side: "Your Majesty, it is reasonable for the harem not to be involved in politics. This palace should not say this. But Yi'er is something we have grown up with since childhood, and you love her too, so just marry her to the Liao Kingdom. What do you do when you are bullied?"

Zhao Zhen looked helplessly at the sky and didn't know what to say, thinking to himself - when did I say that I must send the imperial sister to be married?Why don't I know!I had no choice but to say good things to ease the Empress Dowager's heart: "Where is this going? Who said that I am going to marry my imperial sister to the Liao Kingdom? If I find out, I will definitely not forgive you! Don't worry, Empress Mother, the imperial sister is still young and not too old. Hurry up!"

After finally appeasing the two most honorable women in the harem, Zhao Zhen walked out of the Longevity Palace with a smile on his face, then his face changed abruptly, and he said to the air behind him: "Go and find out, how did this matter get into the Queen Mother's ears!" A black figure suddenly appeared behind him, said "Yes!" respectfully, and disappeared immediately.

At the same time, in the inn.

Princess Yanxiu's room was brightly lit, and from the outside, there were two vaguely moving figures.

General Wang sat in the upper seat, gently opened the teacup, took a sip, his expression was calm but it was not difficult to hear the warning from his tone: "Since the master chooses to send you here, don't even think about going back to serve the master again." A person who understands the current affairs is a hero, I advise you to complete the task of the master honestly, maybe the master will take pity on you at that time."

The woman sitting at the bottom washed off the brilliance of the day, and she looked a little pitiful against the candlelight. She rolled her eyes, put away the unwillingness and hatred in her eyes, and showed a bit of resignation and resentment: " Don't worry, the general, I was originally bought by the master, I live as the master's person, and die as the master's ghost, no matter what the master wants me to do, I will be willing."

General Wang said "hmm", and he couldn't tell whether he was relieved or worried in his tone. He just drank the tea in one breath and left a sentence: "In that case, the minister will send someone to inquire about the emperor's preferences in the next few days. Report to the Princess, it will be up to the time to see if the Princess can grasp the emperor's heart. I will resign, and please have a good rest."

The author has something to say:

I checked the information before and found that the princess called the concubine's biological mother "sister" in the Song Dynasty.
