Dongyin

?Time passed by like a white horse, and several days passed by. The red brocade and white carps were competing to stand on the lake, and the branches of willow trees around were already hanging down. But after that day, Duan Hong said that he was busy with business, so he never came again.

In the first few days, Ying'er kept talking about it, pretending to be relieved, but seeing that Chu Xiying didn't pay much attention, she was at ease, playing around with those maids all day long.

Chu Xi lingered in this palace for one more day, and his heart became more open. The so-called: Fate will eventually come, and fate should not be forgotten. All kinds of difficulties come from fate.Her ancestors believed in religion, and she had been nurtured since she was a child. It is inevitable that she has some thoughts of destiny and inaction. But this time, why did she try her best to drill like a demon?

In the afternoon of that day, the spring sun was beautiful, and the birds were flying and the butterflies were dancing. Chu Xiying walked around the lake with Yinger as usual after lunch.

Ying'er's eyes were sharp, and she saw a person coming from the pavilion from a distance. This person was wearing a purple silk brocade robe, a high jade crown, and looked energetic. But she only felt cold on the soles of her feet, and pulled Chu Xiying, "Miss, Let's go that way."

"It's late." Chu Xiying obviously saw it too, and responded lightly.

But Duan Yu was so busy these days that he couldn't wait for it. Fortunately, Shen Huixiang was getting better and helped him with the affairs of the mansion. This day was a little free, so he looked for a chance to see Chu Xiying, but he was still on the way , and bumped into it. He couldn't help but couldn't wait, and he wanted to go over in three steps at a time, but he saw Chu Xiying standing sideways beside the road. It turned out that he was waiting for him, so he walked down leisurely.

The wicker flickers gently, and the beauty waits quietly. What a beautiful scene this is. Chu Xiying is wearing a long skirt of moon-white mist today, with long hair hanging down the shoulders, and a jade hairpin. Looking from a distance, it looks like a magnolia just blooming, which makes people feel beautiful. pleasing to the eye.

"Wanfu, my lord."

"Free of courtesy." Duan Yu walked over unhurriedly, with a smile on his face, "It seems that you are in good health, and it is also fate. I met you here, so how about I accompany you for a while?" Looking at her sunnyly, I almost posted it.

Chu Xiying took a step back calmly, and said, "The matter in front of the court is tight, how dare you bother Lord Hou?"

Duan Yu laughed, and said as he walked forward, "What's so busy for me and nobody, the real busy ones are those high officials."

Chu Xiying had no choice but to follow him.

Duan Yu was full of enthusiasm and talked eloquently.

"As the saying goes: there are policies at the top, and countermeasures at the bottom. You know that my fourth brother ordered the two ministers to investigate the poisoning within a day. Everyone knows that it is clear to find fault and punish the crime. Guess what the result will be "

Chu Xiying couldn't prevent him from asking this question, and was slightly surprised, before blurting out "how?"

Duan Yu saw that she was interested, so he purposely put it off, "The ruler wants his minister to die, but the minister doesn't want to die, so what should I do?"

Chu Xi was so annoyed that he made a slip of the tongue just now, and made Duan Yu tease, "Your Majesty can say what he wants to say about the affairs of the court."

Duan Yu smiled lightly, and said, "Those two ministers jumped over the wall in a hurry. They singled out two death row prisoners overnight and sent them to the court to face the crime. The two death row prisoners insisted that they committed poisoning. If they caught chickens, they would lose money. My fourth brother will die." Come to reward those two men for their merits."

"If this evil fire isn't suppressed, the wind will not be right. It's not like she tried her best for this, but she was all slipped by those oily heads."

"Oh, no wonder even the prime minister was so angry that he was taking medicine twice a day."

Chu Xiying listened carefully to his speech, worried in his heart, not knowing who it was. The tone of this speech was full of gloating, and he didn't know how the government would change after a hundred years of Zhuangji. Just as he was thinking, he didn't realize Arriving in a strange place, she looked up and saw a majestic and magnificent palace.

"This is where the fourth sister-in-law used to live."

Seeing her slightly visiting eyes, Duan Yu knew that it was a place strictly prohibited by Duan Hong, so he said, "Go in and have a look."

Chu Xiying hesitated, such a place obviously does not come in and out with people.

"What are you afraid of!" Duan Yu chuckled lightly, and left first. When he got to the front of the hall, two eunuchs came up, asking why "Master Hou, forgive me..."

Duan Yu's face sank, and he said in a low voice, "Get out of the way, Benhou, if you come out in a moment, you will be rewarded."

The two eunuchs thought that Duan Hong would not come here at this time, and it would be hard to offend Lord Hou, so they hurriedly invited him in. After Duan Yu went in, thinking of Chu Xiying, when he turned around and saw her standing where he was, he asked him to come in. The two eunuchs invited her in.

Chu Xiying was extremely hesitant, curious after all, and the eunuch who watched the palace came to invite him, so he finally made up his mind to follow in.

During that journey, she guessed a thousand times, thinking that Bai Yan might be what she should be. Even so, the result was still unexpected.

I saw sandalwood as beams and jade bi as lamps in the hall. On the couch were sapphire pillows and silkworm ice mushrooms...

Gold inlaid jade decorations are hard to describe. The specifications and expenses, all the items are arranged according to the status, in compliance with the rules. All in all, it is extremely luxurious.

Chu Xiying is hard to imagine. Based on Duan Hong's love, if such a woman is not too mediocre, then she must be very scheming. She hides all her preferences and becomes the person who suits her identity.

She had only met Bai Yan once, so she really couldn't see through this person. She just stood at the door and looked around, then stopped.

"Why don't you come in?" Duan Yu was puzzled, and fell to the leisure chair placed beside the wood.

Hearing a "pop", the chair fell apart. Duan Yu fell to the ground, and didn't even notice that the wood dregs got into his palm, he was only horrified in his heart, it's over!

"Master Hou!" Chu Xiying was also shocked, and hurried over to help him.

Duan Yu sat up blankly. Seeing how caring Chu Xiying was, his heart fluttered, and he said, "It's nothing. It's just a broken chair."

Seeing how relaxed he was, Chu Xiying felt relieved, but unexpectedly, he caught a glimpse of a book in a brocade box under the wooden couch, and the cover of the book was a few lightly drawn orchids.

Very familiar, isn't that Chu Qinglan's book? !Chu Xiying was very excited.

There is a line of small letters under the book: three years in the new calendar.This was written by Chu Qinglan in the year she passed away.

"This book, this is the meeting gift I brought here!" Duan Yu was quite pleasantly surprised, and picked up the book.Thinking of the past and now, the smile froze.He still wanted to get close to Duan Hong, but he couldn't explain everything in this world with just one thought.

Seeing him sadly, Chu Xiying didn't want to ask more questions.Said, "Master Hou, let's go somewhere else for a walk."

"Don't you want to watch?" Duan Yu asked suspiciously when he saw her nostalgic look.

Chu Xiying nodded.It was not right to come here, and I even made a bad chair.This book should be read to Duan Hong in the future.

Duan Yu stood up, unexpectedly the book was not put away, fell to the ground, and shook out a piece of cocoon paper.

Letter:

"Do your best, and then, listen to the destiny."

Although the handwriting is a beautiful woman's hairpin, the place where it starts and ends seems to be as heavy as a thousand-weight force. It is definitely not Chu Qinglan's.

Do your best and listen to the destiny. Chu Xiying slowly picked up the piece of paper, the word should be written by Bai Yan.However, what made her do it with great determination, but in the end she had no choice but to let the sky arrange it?

"Imperial sister, this is the candied green plum that I sent someone to buy for you, come and taste it."

Bai Yan hurriedly hid the embroidered sachet under the pillow. As soon as the curtain came out, all the maids in the room had dispersed. Only Wei Ming, dressed in a yellow robe, was sitting at the table looking at her with a smile on his face.A square brocade box rests on the table.

Seeing her standing by the curtain, Wei Ming smiled and said, "Come here and have a taste."

Only then did Bai Yan move over, took her skirt and sat on the stool, quietly looking at the brocade box. "Brother, take care of yourself."

"Our two brothers and sisters get together less often and stay away more since we were young. Brother Huang knows that it's just your preference. How can you not devote yourself to it?" Wei Ming said, scooped one up, and handed the spoon to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan wanted to take it, but felt inconvenient, so she took a small bite of the spoon.

"how?"

Bai Yan nodded.

Wei Ming sighed, put down the spoon, and said, "In a few years, Brother Huang will let you eat whatever you want."

Bai Yan lowered her eyes, heard him sigh, and asked, "Brother, has something bothered you?"

With another heavy sigh, Wei Ming said, "Oh, you have been staying in the pavilion all day these days, and you don't know what's going on outside. The war dragged on for a long time, and I worked hard for the White Tiger Pass, but I was repeatedly defeated."

"The state of Zhou has experienced natural disasters and is short of troops. How could it be impossible to win even one pass?"

"You don't know that the two walls of the White Tiger Pass are so steep that it is even more difficult than siege. That king of Qi has already ordered Zhou Ye to guard it to the death. Even sparrows can't fly through it." Hong's body was broken into pieces.When he was in business, Duan Hong bought a lot of medicinal materials.He heard the alchemist under Hua Xu say that if the slag from the alchemy furnace was mixed into water, and people and animals drank it, symptoms similar to plague would appear.

Hearing this, Bai Yan said sadly, "Brother, aren't you afraid of losing your life for such a heartless thing?!"

Wei Ming said, "I have no choice but to. Qi State is getting stronger and stronger. If I don't create it now, it will be difficult in the future. What's more, I did this only to delay Qi State's reinforcements and attack the next week as soon as possible. Huayang lives in Linzi In Chengcheng, she has been a disciple of Huaxu since she was a child. Do you think she can't see it?" It turns out that all of these are just false tricks, whether it is plague or poisoning, they are all pretense to disrupt people's minds.

"As far as I know about her, she will definitely not help until the last moment. But the poison was cured in less than three days."

Three days, isn't that enough?

Bai Yan sighed softly, "Brother, if you can't pass a single White Tiger Pass, how can you pass thousands of White Tiger Passes?"

"If we can lure Qi soldiers out of the pass, our army will definitely win. I have always heard that Zhou Ye is arrogant, but this time he can't defend the pass no matter how much he shouts."

"General Zhou is well-known in battles, and he relied on his boldness and carefulness." Bai Yan said, "If he is not sure of victory, he will not go out."

"The time is coming, sister, after more than ten years of hard work, success or failure depends on whether Zhou Guo can be won." Wei Ming seemed a little impetuous, "You have been with that Zhou Ye for a few months, don't you have a temper? Can't figure it out?"

The weight of a thousand catties fell on Bai Yan's shoulders all at once. She looked at the brocade box quietly, and said for a while, "Brother, if you really win the Baihu pass, are you sure of victory?"

"Yes!" Wei Ming said firmly.

Bai Yan raised her eyes, stared at him quietly, sighed for a while, "I've said everything I need to say, brother, please go back."

"You..." Wei Ming still wanted to persuade, but suddenly his heart lit up, he smiled deeply at Bai Yan, and said, "Wait for the good news."
