love poison

Two months after moving to Xin Mu's house, Rong Hua stepped into Xin Mu's bedroom for the first time.

From this point of view, their progress is really slow, but Rong Hua is already very happy, no matter what, as long as there is progress.He started to stay in Xin Mu's room all day long, and at night he must linger until Xin Mu yawned, and then he reluctantly left.

There is only the last layer of window paper left between them, and when the time is ripe to pierce this layer of window paper, Rong Hua will be consummated.

While Ronghua was waiting excitedly and anxiously, a very disappointing letter came. The spies from Luzhou came to report in secret, saying that His Majesty the emperor had ordered the prince to go to Yuezhou in person to give Ronghua He visited the sick and brought a lot of rewards and precious medicinal materials.At this time, His Royal Highness the Prince has arrived in Luzhou, and will arrive in Yuezhou in the near future.In these two days, the imperial envoys will arrive first.

Rong Hua was very dissatisfied with this.

The news of Rong Hua's serious illness spread quickly and widely, but the news of Rong Hua's recovery has never been spread.Up to now, many people think that Rong Hua is still recuperating in the mansion, and some people have secretly speculated that Rong Hua probably won't survive this winter.

The rumor spread more and more widely, so the remnant bandits of the barbarians in the Northwest began to move again. They gathered thousands of people, occupied a hill, and raised a flag to call themselves "Heroes of the Northwest".

Rong Hua has been watching the movements of those "heroes".

Obviously, not only he was watching, but even the capital city was also watching.

According to the news from the spies, the prince came from the capital this time in a secret operation. In addition to hundreds of servants, he also brought more than ten high-ranking officials from the two prefectures, including civil servants and military generals.At the same time, there were [-] imperial guards, and the speed of the journey was also very fast. In less than a month, they arrived at Luzhou from the capital.

Obviously, if you want to visit a sick person, the battle is too big.Therefore, the prince came this time with a mission and purpose.

First of all, the crown prince came in such a sneaky way, naturally, to catch Rong Hua by surprise, and planned to take advantage of Rong Hua's lack of reaction, to see with his own eyes whether Rong Hua was really going to die. For the imperial court, Rong Hua was the pillar of the Northwest. , is also the emperor's confidant.If Rong Hua is doing well, the emperor would not dare to touch him rashly, but if he is near the end of his life and only hangs his breath, that would be the best.The prince will definitely try his best to heal him, but what can he do?He was injured too badly, and died young in the end. The imperial court would feel sorry for him, mourn him, and give him a generous burial and reward, so that he won a good reputation and no threat.

But what if he was just sick and couldn't die for a while?It doesn't matter, as long as he is a little weaker, His Royal Highness will naturally have a way to make him "seriously injured" with so many people, and then mourn, and then give him a generous burial and generous reward.

The imperial envoys who were dispatched in advance were here to see exactly how sick Rong Hua was. If they were thinking of the two kinds, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would arrive soon.If Ronghua is already almost recovered, it is estimated that His Royal Highness would not dare to come, and would find an excuse to hide in Luzhou.

For these years, Ronghua has been fighting against the emperor's suspicion, he can understand the emperor's position and the vigilance of a person like him.He was really troubled, and he had no other way but to deal with it all the time.

So this time, before the imperial envoy arrives, Rong Hua has to go back and pretend to be ill to prepare. As for the degree of illness, he has to be precise, not only to make the prince feel that he is not a big threat, but also to make them still have concerns and dare not make trouble. What kind of trouble is there.

Also, Rong Hua guessed that the prince should have a second purpose for coming here.With so many soldiers, it is natural to go to the group of "heroes" in the northwest.

The crown prince is neither a direct wife nor an elder, and the mother and concubine are not of high birth, but she is an alluring beauty.The emperor liked her, so he loved Wu Jiwu, and against all odds, the crown prince was established.But until now, the crown prince's position is still unstable, and a group of speech officials and ministers block the emperor every day, saying that this is not in accordance with the etiquette.

If Ronghua dies, the prince can successfully preside over Ronghua's funeral, subdue Rong's army, appease the people of Yuezhou, wipe out the bandits, and make friends with Zhaoyue and Xiyi...

Then he will be able to secure his position as the crown prince.

It was a good idea, but Rong Hua completely scoffed at it.If this 16-year-old yellow-mouthed boy can really do this, he will immediately take his wife and children and return to the farmland to live his happy life.

In short, before removing the armor, we have to deal with it this time.

Yue Wang Mansion must go back, illness must also be feigned, and for a long time, Rong Hua has to stay in Yue Wang Mansion.He especially wanted Xin Mu to go back with him, but Xin Mu seemed to prefer his own nest and was reluctant to go.It's been a month or so, and Rong Hua doesn't want to force Xin Mu.

Erlang, on the other hand, was very curious, and excitedly expressed that he would follow Ronghua to Yuewang's mansion.

After some discussion, it was finally decided that Erlang could live in Yue Wang's Mansion, or he could return to Xin Mu's house at any time, depending on his preference.

In the evening, after packing their luggage, Ronghua and Erlang were about to set off for Yuewang Mansion.

In fact, the distance is very close, but at the thought of parting temporarily, Rong Hua felt heartbroken. Xin Mu sent them to the door, but Rong Hua refused to get into the carriage for a long time. When you are at home, you must not do housework, if you have any dirty work, keep it until I come back. "

Erlang stuck out his tongue and said, "Where is there any dirty work to do..."

Rong Hua ignored him, and continued to hold Xin Mu's hand and said, "I will think of you all the time, and you should also think of me, but don't miss me too much. If you miss me too much, How distressed I am."

Erlang felt that he couldn't listen anymore, he shook his head and said to Xin Mu, "Father, I'll get in the carriage first."

After saying this, Erlang got into the carriage and covered his ears, thinking, adults are really disgusting.

Just when Erlang was thinking about it, Rong Hua continued to say nasty words: "I will be back soon, even if I am not with you for a while, my heart will always be with you."

In front of so many people, Xin Mu really felt a little shy. He withdrew his hand, his ears turned red slightly, and said, "I see, it's not too far to go. I understand that you can't come back. If I have something to do, naturally I know I'm here to look for you, that's all right, let's go, it's important."

Rong Hua only felt happy in his heart, and quickly said: "Then it's done, if you miss me, remember to come and see me."

Xin Mu nodded, waved his hand and hurriedly sent Rong Hua away.Rong Hua's face was full of reluctance, and after getting into the carriage, he lifted the curtain and emphasized again: "Think of me!"

Amidst Rong Hua's muttering, the carriage finally went away.

After Ronghua and Erlang left, the room immediately became much quieter. At first, Xin Mu felt that it had no effect on him. He thought he was used to the lonely days.But after only two days, Xin Mu felt uncomfortable all over, and always missed the time when the big and small were noisy.

Three days later, Xin Mu couldn't stay at home, so he finally went out and walked around the nearby farmland a few times, his mind was full of thoughts about the past.

The three of them have been walking together these days. After dinner every day, the three of them would stroll around. Ronghua and Erlang have been together for a long time, and they seem to have degenerated into six-year-old children. Picking up small stones on the side of the road as hidden weapons and throwing each other around, or chasing and fighting, Xin Mu smiled and watched them from behind, and followed slowly.If he wants to run faster than anyone else, Rong Hua will lose every time, because he has to turn his head to look at Xin Mu when he runs for a certain distance, but if Xin Mu walks too slowly and is out of his sight, he will immediately turn around and turn back run.

At that time, Xin Mu felt that the two of them were too noisy, but now that they are alone, Xin Mu couldn't help but miss that noise, and always felt a little lonely.

Just as he was lost in thought, a man's voice came from behind him, the voice sounded very gentle.

"Hello."

Xin Mu looked back and saw a handsome man with brown eyes, he was about thirty years old, wearing a blue brocade.Xin Mu didn't know this person's name, but he had seen him before and knew that he lived not far from here.

There are very few residents in the city, and there are only a few families in total. Although they don't have close contacts, Xin Mu still knows each other.Besides, he was from Zhaoyue. Xin Mu had noticed him a long time ago, but he hadn't spoken to him.

"Hello." Xin Mu nodded slightly, as a salute to the man.

The man was not embarrassed either, he must have noticed Xin Mu a long time ago, he walked up to Xin Mu and walked with him naturally, and began to chat: "I saw that you have been walking alone these two days, your husband and wife Where's the son?"

Xin Mu felt that the word "Xianggong" was a bit awkward, but he got used to it faster, and replied without any change: "He has some errands to deal with, and he went to the city for a few days, and my son wants to see Where he was on errand, he went to see the world."

"The little guy in your family is very smart. I've seen him several times. He plays with the children around here, and the older ones listen to him."

Xin Mu smiled and said, "It's a little clever."

"By the way, I haven't said anything yet. I was a slave when I was in Zhaoyue. After I got married, I followed my father-in-law's surname Yu, Yu Nanling. I should be a few years older than you. You can also call me Brother Yu." Yu Nanling said very friendly, "Have you asked your surname yet?"

Xin Mu didn't hesitate too much, and said, "Miangui, my surname is Rong."

After saying this, Xin Mu didn't know why, so she felt a little sweet in her heart, bowed her head and laughed to herself.

Yu Nanling also saw the smile on the corner of Xin Mu's mouth, and laughed too, and said, "You two have such a good relationship. My son is six or seven years old, and he still looks like a newlywed."

Xin Mu still smiled and did not refute his words.Seeing the people from his hometown, Xin Mu was very happy, and even talked a lot: "I saw your son, he is fifteen or sixteen years old, you two are so young, you are such a big child."

"That's right, if we get married earlier and take care of our children earlier, shouldn't we enjoy happiness earlier?"

"I've seen you a few times, and you are enjoying yourself. Your husband-in-law treats you very well. He always led you wherever he went. Why are you alone these days?"

Yu Nanling replied: "My family runs a small winery. These days, I just went to Xiaomei County to deliver two cars of wine. My son is also at the age of learning things, so I let him go with him. Originally, these few days The two should come back, but it seems that a high-ranking official from the capital is coming over these two days. He is a big man. In order to ensure his safety, he has been strictly checked when entering and leaving the city. My father-in-law and my son happened to be blocked in the city. The door is closed, he was afraid that I would be worried, so he sent someone to tell me."

Xin Mu thought, that "big man" should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came secretly.Wanting to come to Ronghua's pretending to be sick, he had already deceived the imperial envoy, and the prince came in person.

Even though he knew that there was nothing wrong with Ronghua's ability to deal with a teenager, Xin Mu still couldn't help being worried about him.

Yu Nanling also sighed, and then said: "The big man came, saying that he came to visit His Royal Highness King Yue, and he brought a doctor from Beijing, as well as medicinal materials rewarded by the emperor. Hey, I hope these medicines can heal His Highness's illness. Healing is the only way, Your Highness needs to be well, Yuezhou and Zhaoyue can be well, and we can live such a good life."

Xin Mu looked at Yu Nanling and said seriously: "He will be fine."

Perhaps it was because Xin Mu's tone was too firm, and Yu Nanling gained some confidence, and said with a smile: "Yes, Your Highness has made such great achievements in pacifying the Northwest, so it must be of great fortune to turn disasters into blessings. Will bless him."

Xin Mu responded with a smile, and the two continued to walk forward, chatting about many things. After the sun had completely set, Xin Mu saw a warrior in bunt riding towards his house from a distance, presumably it was Rong Hua Someone was sent to deliver a letter to him.

Yu Nanling also saw it, so he said goodbye, before leaving, he said: "If you have time to come to my house and want to eat the taste of hometown, just let me know. I have Zhaoyue's servants in my house, who can do everything. Look at your hand, it's not the way you do things, anyway, don't be polite to me."

Xin Mu thanked Yu Nanling very much, but because she was thinking about Rong Hua, she hurried back without saying much.

The man was indeed sent by Ronghua. He wrote a short handwritten letter, telling Xin Mu that the crown prince will arrive tomorrow, so that Xin Mu doesn't have to worry, he will take care of it, and Erlang is doing very well in the Yue Palace. happy.In the end, he used a long paragraph to write about his love for Xin Mu. Xin Mu's ears turned red, but he couldn't help but read the letter twice before putting it in the cabinet and locking it.

Twenty days passed like this, during which Erlang came back to live for two days, and spent most of the time with Ronghua in Yuewang Mansion, and Ronghua would write a very nasty letter in a few days, and I haven't seen it When I read the letter when I was alone, I felt that the days passed quickly.

Just on the 20th day when they left home, Ronghua sent someone to send Erlang back. Erlang had a very serious expression when he returned home. He dragged Xin Mu to the study room and closed the door nervously, saying that he wanted to tell A big deal for Xin Mu.

Then Erlang took out the letter that Rong Hua wrote to Xin Mu.

There is no nasty talk in this letter, but it really said something very serious.

The prince was captured.

That is what happened in the past two days, the prince left the city without telling Ronghua, and took his [-] imperial guards to suppress the group of "Northwest Heroes", thinking that the thousand bandits were not enough Who would have known that after going there, they found out that this group of Northwest heroes did not know that there were thousands of people behind them, and an army of ten thousand people led by a Xiyi nobleman was behind them.How can the fledgling prince be the opponent of the brave Xiyi soldiers, he was captured after only one battle.

Now the prince and a group of ministers are under the control of the Northwest heroes, and they sent a letter to Yuezhou, demanding ransom for 1 taels of silver, [-] horses, and [-] cattle and sheep.

Not much, because even with the support of the remaining Xiyi nobles behind them, they are nothing but a rabble.Even if it is impossible to make a big storm out of the intention, we can only take advantage of Ronghua's serious illness and make trouble on the border of Dasheng to ask for some money.As long as you are asking for money, it is fine, and asking for money will not hurt people's lives.They still don't know the true identity of the crown prince, they just thought it was a certain nobleman, so they guessed that Rong Hua might really be dying, and this useless nobleman came to replace him.

In fact, Rong Hua knew that there must be people behind those bandits. He had been reluctant to go to those people, but he was going to draw out the supporters behind them. The prince's reckless behavior made the people behind Introduced, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as a step in helping Ronghua complete the plan.It is not difficult for Rong Hua to wipe out this group of people, the difficulty is to ensure that Tai Quan will come back in full.

The prince was also smart for a while, he kept his identity a secret, so Rong Hua would not be too passive.

The crown prince of the empire was captured, and if he passed through, it would be a big deal, but the tone of Rong Hua's letter was very calm, with a look of confidence.

Rong Hua didn't pay attention to those ten thousand people at all.

But that being said, Xin Mu is still very worried about Rong Hua, as if no matter how lively Rong Hua is now, Xin Mu always feels that his life is in danger at any moment.

Moreover, at the end of the letter, there was something that caused Xin Mu a headache—Erlang strongly requested that he go with Ronghua.

Rong Hua said in the letter that he did not agree to Erlang without authorization, but asked Erlang to come back and ask Xin Mu.If Xin Mu agrees, he will only take Erlang to the camp outside the pass, and will never go to the battlefield. He promises that he has prepared for this battle for a long time, and he can win with his eyes closed. Erlang will never lose a hair.

After reading the letter, Xin Mu's eyes were heavy. He put the letter down and looked at Erlang silently.
