May you live in peace

For three whole months, Gao Shan stayed in the Mu Mansion, except for occasional maids who brought her meals, she never saw Yin Jiao and other people in the mansion again.But she also discovered that the original location of this room was the courtyard that used to be Yin Jiao, and next to it was the study.Occasionally, when Gao Shan is in a hurry, she will ask someone to bring some books for her, or go for a walk by herself.But at the same time, she also found that the feeling in Mufu was different from the past, there seemed to be a lot more people hiding in the dark.

It started to snow heavily in mid-January, and the courtyard was completely white, and the accumulated snow covered up the green of Mufu. There was less of a fairyland in the bamboo forest, and more ethereal.

Takasugi hasn't stepped out of the door for a long time to see the outside world.From the time she woke up until now, her body has been in a state of extreme weakness.Sometimes even taking a shower can be a chore.

Gao Shan sat on the stone chair in the pavilion, feeling slightly cool.Outside the court was a vast expanse of whiteness, except for the sound of the wind blowing, the surrounding area was quiet.

"Aren't you going to rest at the door?"

A familiar but somewhat unclear voice came from behind, and Gao Shan turned around in surprise, since she didn't notice anyone behind her.

"My son-in-law is safe."

Looking at the girl who bent slightly to salute, Gao Shan still has an impression of her. This girl who was forced by Yin Yao has been kept in the Mufu for a long time and rarely appears in front of the world.

"Miss Ma."

Gao Shan remembered her name was Ma Yi, stood up and gestured to her.

Ma Yi seemed to feel that the address she called her was a bit strange, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she walked straight past her, put down the food box she had been carrying, poured a cup of tea and put it on the table, and turned around. body said.

"I am the one rescued by the son-in-law. The son-in-law doesn't need to be so polite to me, just call me by my name."

Gao Shan looked at her with a calm expression, which was much better than the expressionless and unlovely face when he first saw her, at least she still looks popular now.

"It's not that I saved you, it's Elder Dou who asked me to bring you back."

At that time, Yin Yao sent her off to please her, but she wanted to refuse, but she didn't expect Mr. Dou's extremely excited face after seeing her.Now, Ma Yi's physical condition is getting better day by day, and looking at her makeup, I think Mr. Dou loves this child very much.

Ma Yi didn't speak, but kept looking at her, and when Gao Shan felt a little strange, he brought her the tea on the table.

"Drink some tea, sister Feng's tea, the son-in-law should be able to drink it."

Gao Shan took the tea that Ma Yi handed her, and the familiar scent made her realize that the "she" mentioned in the girl's mouth turned out to be the child General Fan asked him to take in, Feng Yao.

Takasugi took a sip of the tea, it was soaked in snow water, and the taste seemed to be different from before.

"Is she okay?"

Thinking that he hadn't visited or asked about Feng Yao's situation for a long time, since he moved to the Princess's Mansion, the child was left in the Mu Mansion.Fortunately, Elder Dou likes the feeling of having a lot of people, and this child is very considerate and knowledgeable, so he always asks Elder Dou to take care of her.It is also out of the consideration of the safety of the Mufu, so those who want to chase and kill her will not dare to provoke the Mufu at will.

"very good."

Ma Yi's expression changed only when Feng Yao was mentioned.Gao Shan looked at her slightly changed expression, didn't say anything, just drank another cup of tea, looked eastward, and looked at the thick wall.

Looking at Gao Shan's expression, Ma Yi knew that she wanted to leave.However, she couldn't let her go.This son-in-law is the one who can stop what her grandfather didn't stop back then, and also the one who helps her fulfill her grandfather's lifelong pursuit.

"Did you come to see me for something?"

Gao Shan looked at the food box, which was not too big or small, and thought that Ma Yi would not need to come to deliver the food.She came to look for her, and she should have something to do with Mr. Jiao, or maybe both Mr. Jiao and Mr. Dou.

Looking at her calm expression, Ma Yi felt in a daze that this son-in-law might not be as incompetent as when she first heard about her reputation.

Back then, when she was living in a secluded land, she was unfortunately captured by the local people and auctioned off as a slave.Yin Yao bought her at that time and wanted to be his housekeeper himself, but in the end he turned his attention and gave himself to the concubine Hao Guo.

At that time, many stories about Gao Shan were circulated in the mouths of the world. Because they were not familiar with this son-in-law who descended out of thin air, many people were more or less full of curiosity about this son-in-law.Therefore, the rumors in the market are also full of strange things.Yin Yao gave herself to Gao Shan because she brought a girl back to the Mu Mansion privately.Therefore, some people rumored that she was actually a sensualist, but the eldest princess didn't know it yet.

Ma Yi has been living in the world for many years, and she is used to seeing human faces and animal hearts. Those who wear gorgeous skins are most likely to have dark hearts.Therefore, she does believe that Gao Shan is a restless person.I also feel that she dared to act like this because the eldest princess didn't know about it.

However, she knew clearly that Gao Shan at that time really didn't want to take her back.Her unspoken dislike for Yin Yao made Ma Yi change her opinion towards her.I also have to say that I am a lucky person, because Yin Yao's chance to win over the son-in-law allowed her to return to this home that belonged to her, which was only mentioned by her father but never visited.

But today, when she saw that Takasugi already knew that the environment she was in was not good for her, she could still be so calm.Ma Yi looked at the long pine standing not far away, the straight back, it really felt a bit like the pine now.

"I came to look for you on behalf of Grandpa Jiao, he dare not see you."

After hearing this, Gao Shan just looked at the position outside the arch and shook his head slightly, "My fate was saved by Jiao Lao. If he really needs me to do something, I will not refuse."

Thinking about opening her eyes, the first person to take care of her and rescue her when she was about to starve to death was Yin Jiao.Although she was a little cold, she would not forget about saving her life.

These days, she has also read a lot about Yin Jiao's deeds, and she also quietly opened and read the "39 Years of Shengding" hidden in the bookstore.Among them, many things are completely different from the historical content of the emperor's period preserved in the Royal Tribute Court.This also made her realize that Yin Xi's position was a little more threatening.

"However, I just hope Mr. Jiao will let me see Xi."

Gao Shan looked at the smoke from the kitchen not far away, mixed with the smell of charcoal roasting, and squinted his eyes slightly, it was almost the New Year.

Ma Yi pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer her question.

"Forget it, thank you for coming to bring me lunch. Since Mr. Jiao and Mr. Dou are here, let them come in and have some food together. It's cold outside."

After Gao Shan finished speaking, she got up and walked into the house with the food box. When she was about to step into the house, she tilted her head slightly and said to the people behind her.

"Don't stand there, the weather is getting colder, don't catch cold, come in together."

Ma Yi couldn't understand this son-in-law. She seemed to be too calm. For so long, she didn't even know the reason. She was trapped in Mufu for more than three months, but she didn't even have a complaint or question. She, Do you know something?

Standing not far away, the old man who watched the conversation between the two looked at each other, then appeared from the corner and walked straight into the house.

Hao Guo Imperial Palace, front hall.

Today's morning court seems to be very lively. The eldest princess said that she was ill and could not go to court for two consecutive months, which made the minister somewhat strange.The second princess was in charge of the government. Originally, the ministers thought that King Yizi would take this opportunity to "show his talents", but found that he was extremely quiet, and he didn't even participate in the ministers' discussions.And the news that has spread the most recently is nothing more than the rumors about the disappearance of the prince consort.The ministers sent servants to the eldest princess's mansion to inquire about the news, but they were all stopped by the guards.Not to mention knowing the exact news about the eldest son-in-law, even seeing the eldest princess is a difficult matter.

As for the reason for today's excitement, it is the urgent document sent by the southwest prefect.The southwestern region has always been a place that all dynasties and emperors pay close attention to. For the sake of security here, there are almost twice as many border guards guarding it as compared to ordinary places.Now, the coach guarding the southwest is Guang Luxun's second son, Lu Zhu.Lu Zhu is upright and good at martial arts. Because of his innocence and generosity, he is loved by the local minority people.Therefore, the land in the southwest has been able to survive for so many years.

However, in recent months, a secret organization wearing a white square scarf and gray general robes appeared in the southwest region, and quickly attracted many local gentry and common people. The speed made this organization in the southwest region Lu Zhu, who had been staying for nearly ten years, didn't even realize that the situation was out of hand.

Lu Hub sent soldiers to suppress it, and even wanted to copy the old nest of this organization directly, but found that the forces behind this organization that claimed to be "against the sky and return to life, repeat Shengming" as its slogan were no longer as simple as running amok in the southwest.The [-] soldiers who were originally sent were trapped in the mountains, and they walked around for nearly half a month. Less than half of them came back, and the rest were all missing.And their lair, not to mention the location, doesn't even know the exact direction.This made Lu Zhu deeply aware of his recklessness, and also deeply aware that this matter is not simple.Therefore, he quickly wrote two letters to the capital.A letter was handed over to the prefect for him to send to the capital, in which he gave a general memorial about the situation of this organization. The incident was so simple that only their slogan was mentioned.For the other letter, he sent his close aides to rush to the capital personally with the letter, wrote down all the situation on paper, and passed it on to Eldest Princess Yin Xi.

But now, the ministers in the hall are arguing endlessly about this matter.Although this doesn't seem to be a very threatening thing, as long as there is turmoil, the people in the court are waiting for each other, trying to solve this matter.Said to send people to the southwest to wipe out this daring organization, or asked to dismiss Lu Zhu and send other people to guard the southwest.In the main hall, the ministers stood around at random, chattering with each other.Yin Luo glanced at Yiziwang, who had been in a trance frequently these days, but didn't express his opinion.

"Second princess, in your opinion, what should be done?" The admonishing minister stood up and asked Yin Luo's opinion with his hands clasped.Seeing that someone finally asked the second princess for her opinion, the surrounding ministers also stood in their respective positions, waiting for an answer.

Yin Luo was sitting on the left hand, touching the glazed beads that Wuma gave her to move her hand, but she didn't answer their words quickly.Instead, he looked around at these ministers, watching their respective expressions or hidden expressions, and measured them in their hearts.Among these ministers, [-] to [-]% may be really worried about things in the Southwest. After all, the writing is too concise, which will inevitably make the veterans feel suspicious.If rebellion or riots really arose, judging from the current situation, it is not that they are unable to suppress them, but because of the internal disasters, as well as Annan and Da Yuezhi around them, I am afraid they will not miss this opportunity.At that time, if war is caused, it will definitely be a big crisis for Hao Guo.Among the few other ministers, some may just wait and see, and some, as they proposed, want to take the opportunity to peek at the position of the Marshal of the Southwest Township in order to gain their own strength.Yin Luo changed the hand of the bead. The minister thought she was going to say something, but found that the second princess just rubbed the center of her brows, but still didn't speak.

In fact, she has already heard about this matter from Huangjie, but Huangjie doesn't seem to want to let the ministers of the imperial court intervene in this matter. In Huangjie's mind, she may go to the southwest in person.

Thinking of Huang Jie's state these days, Yin Luo frowned again, now that the news of Gaoshan's disappearance is spreading vividly, Huang Jie also spent a lot of thought on it.Originally suspected Yin Yang and others, but found that they were very quiet, and it could even be said that they did not move at all, and found that among the spies who came to inquire about the princess's mansion, there were people from Yin Yang and Yin Yao, which also meant that Gao Shan Not held hostage by them.So, who is the person who took Takasugi away?

"Uncle Yizi, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Yin Luo threw the question to Yin Yang who didn't say a word. In the past few days, he seems to be very quiet, and even his movements have decreased, which is really strange.

"Since the eldest princess entrusts the affairs of the country to the second princess, the second princess must decide this matter."

Yin Luo raised his eyebrows, so docile?

"My qualifications are still young. Even if the emperor's sister and the ministers trust me, I still need to ask Uncle Wang to learn more."

His Highness watched the two of them doing Tai Chi quietly, and was not in a hurry to interrupt.

"Since there are rebels, and the Southwest Generalissimo can't suppress them, how about sending troops from the imperial court to suppress them?"

Yin Luo looked around when Yin Yang said that, as if he was looking for someone.

"What Uncle Wang said is also reasonable, but a temporary change of generals will inevitably make people feel uneasy. Well, let's put this matter aside for now, and make plans after I ask Sister Huang for her opinion."

Ignoring the expressions of Yin Yang and many ministers who wanted to speak, they waved their hands and said.

"Today's government affairs seem to be discussed here. If there are no important matters, the ministers should retreat first."

"This..." The ministers looked at each other, not understanding what the second princess meant, and even Yin Yang didn't understand what Yin Luo meant by doing this.

The ministers had nothing to say, so they had to kneel down and retreat.

Yin Luo went to Yin Ran's palace after he came down from court, and after summoning Imperial Doctor Zhang, all the people were evacuated.

"Doctor Zhang, Miss Huang asked me to ask you, how is your father?"

Since his father's sudden illness last time, until now, he has been in a coma for four months. His father has not woken up, and there has been unrest inside and outside the court. Yin Luo is somewhat worried.

"Going back to the second princess, Your Majesty is fine, but the old minister is also puzzled by not waking up." Doctor Zhang said while shaking his head and sighing.He is in charge of checking His Majesty's physical condition. He has been here for almost four months, but he has not found any problems.Moreover, His Majesty's physical condition is getting better day by day. Zhang Yuyi tried any method that can be used to stimulate but not hurt the body, but His Majesty still does not wake up.Sometimes, he even suspected that His Majesty was not in a coma at all. As for why he didn't wake up, he could only ask this extremely noble person lying on the bed.

Yin Luo nodded slightly, looking at the rosy-faced father, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"I also ask Doctor Zhang to try some more methods. After all, father can't stay in a coma forever."

Doctor Zhang nodded, and his heart was also very solemn.Yes, in any dynasty, how can the state of the ruler make the country peaceful and prosperous?

Yin Luo ordered a few words before preparing to leave.When she was leaving, Doctor Zhang stopped her and ran to the next room to take out a white jade porcelain vase.

"Second Princess, I heard that the Eldest Princess is ill. Although these medicines are not expensive, they also have the effect of calming the nerves. I hope the Eldest Princess and the Second Princess will not dislike them."

Yin Luo took the porcelain bottle, feeling a little cold, seeing the slightly kind expression of Doctor Zhang, nodded slightly to express his gratitude.
