I am a ruler in troubled times

It's a pity that the 10 taels of gold that the Sheng family had prepared were not used in the end. King Xiang refused the 10 taels of gold after sending the hundred-year-old Tianshan snow lotus to the East Palace.

It wasn't that the temptation of 10 taels of gold was not enough to impress him, but that he woke up in time after staying up all night. If he accepted the 10 taels of gold from the East Palace, he would lose all the right to speak in Zhao.

This will put Chu State at an absolute disadvantage before the negotiation with Zhao State begins.

Song Peiyu didn't feel regretful when she sent people to Sheng's to deliver the letter.

As long as Tianshan Snow Lotus can be obtained, other matters can be put aside for the time being.

The smarter King Xiang is, the more cautious he will be in his words and deeds, and the more secure the business routes in the Western Regions he has mastered, which is actually a good thing for Zhao Guo.

With the most important main ingredient of the century-old Tianshan snow lotus, other main ingredients and ingredients were sent to the East Palace within half a day.

Except that Emperor Yonghe still didn't show up, he just let Eunuch Meng come to the East Palace to guard, King Su even brought the Eldest Princess, even the Eldest Princess and Huiyang County Lord, and Princess Lingyun who was still a guest at the Eldest Princess' Mansion came to the East Palace.

In addition, people from the East Palace Primary School also found time to come to the palace to visit Chong Yi.

Soon, the entire Eastern Palace was covered by the vague smell of medicine in the air.

Concubine Zhuo, who returned silently, came to the East Palace with the mighty maids and eunuchs behind her.

The eldest princess turned her head to the side, her eyes were cold with undisguised disgust, "What are you doing here?"

Mu Wan bowed to the eldest princess with a face full of humiliation. After barely showing a smile, she looked at Chong Yi who was sitting under the eldest princess and King Su in panic, "Suzaku, I heard that there is finally a medicine that can completely heal the pain in your body. Yu Du, came here specially to guard you."

The eldest princess turned her head away, as if she disliked Mu Wan for dirtying her eyes.

King Su lowered his head silently.

He was full of opinions on Mu Wan, wishing he could strangle her to death with his own hands, but he would not trouble his elder brother's concubine in public.

Chong Yi looked at Mu Wan, his black and white eyes were full of plainness, but they were as clear as they could see through people.

Eyes met, Mu Wan subconsciously looked away

"Sit" Chong Yi finally responded to Mu Wan.

Eunuch An immediately motioned for the little eunuch to move a chair over.

After looking around, Mu Wan set her eyes on Song Peiyu who was sitting on Chongyi's left, walked straight over, and stood in front of Song Peiyu.

Song Peiyu's smile faded a lot, she simply closed her eyes, pretending not to feel the gaze on her body.

Mu Wan didn't get angry as usual, she looked at Song Peiyu who had her eyes closed, and then at Chong Yi who was sitting next to her, her eyes were full of sadness.

"Eunuch An, please put the chair here, I want to be closer to Suzaku." Mu Wan pointed to the place between Chong Yi and Song Peiyu's chairs.

Eunuch An's eyelids twitched violently. How could there be a chair in such a small place?

Could he still ask someone to move a small stool for Concubine Zhuo?

Song Peiyu opened her eyes at some point, smiled and stood up from the chair, "Ms. Mu sit here, I'll go to the back."

Mu Wan was so surprised that she took half a step forward, "Really?"

The smile on Song Peiyu's face became more superficial, and she nodded perfunctorily.

If it wasn't for the presence of people from Donggong Primary School, he wouldn't bother to care about whether Mu Wan would be ashamed.

Before Mu Wan made any other weird moves, Song Peiyu had already gone to the door and sat down on the new chair that Eunuch An asked the little eunuch to move.

Song Peiyu walked away so happily, the joy on Mu Wan's face faded instead.

After taking her seat, Mu Wan looked sideways at Chong Yi, and asked softly, "Where's your father? Why didn't you come to accompany you?"

Chong Yi looked at Eunuch Meng who was standing beside him.

Eunuch Meng lowered his head and said softly, "King Xiang of Chu State is in the Palace of Qinzheng, and has important matters to discuss with His Majesty."

"What is it?" Mu Wan showed displeasure, but she looked at Chong Yi with more kind eyes, "Could it be more important than Suzaku?"

Eunuch Meng remained silent, and retreated to the corner with his head down.

He had also fought with Concubine Zhuo several times before, and what impressed him the most was Concubine Zhuo's arrogance that was deeply rooted in his bones. He did not expect that Concubine Zhuo would change so much after being banned for two years.

Unfortunately, there is still no sign of getting smarter.

Although Song Peiyu went to sit at the door, her attention was always on Chong Yi and Mu Wan.

Ever since Mu Wan was reincarnated as Concubine Zhuo, Song Peiyu's vigilance towards Mu Wan has been pulled to the maximum.

He still can't forget the scene when he met Mu Wan for the first time.

Mu Wan condescendingly oppressed Chong Yi from her mother, wantonly enjoying the privileges of being a mother, but refused to show half of her mother's love.

It seems that Chongyi is not her child, but just a tool for her to achieve her goals.

Chong Yi would kneel down at every turn, and slap Chong Yi mercilessly.

It is definitely an embarrassing request to Chong Yi.

He even berated Chong Yi as worthless in front of a room full of court ladies and eunuchs.

……

All kinds of behaviors are very similar to mind control.

What makes Song Peiyu even more incomprehensible is that Chong Yi, who can crush Mu Wan with just one finger, is actually submissive to Mu Wan.

Saying "You are my biological mother" is like handing Mu Wan the whip to tame the beast.

Song Peiyu back then couldn't understand Chongyi's choice.

Today's Song Peiyu can't understand it.

Song Peiyu still couldn't understand Chong Yi's attitude towards Mu Wan.

Chong Yi acted like a foolish and filial person, but Song Peiyu always felt something was wrong.

For example, after Song Peiyu met Mu Wan for the first time in Liangyi Palace, because she was young and vigorous, Mu Wan went crazy on the spot. It was Chong Yi who blocked the teacup that Mu Wan threw towards him for Song Peiyu.

Song Peiyu provoked Mu Wan many times during the period, but Chong Yi remained indifferent, and even got angry when he didn't find out that he was lying.

Also, before Mu Wan suddenly came to the East Palace to visit Chong Yi.

He squeezed Mu Wan verbally, and Mu Wan wanted to beat him, but Chong Yi immediately appeared behind him.

Song Peiyu was sure that Chong Yi wanted to stop Mu Wan for him.

Later, he just staggered, and Mu Wan was about to fall to the ground, but Chong Yi chose to help him without hesitation.

After discovering that Mu Wan was scratched on her hand and passed out, Chong Yi didn't show much sadness.

With Chongyi's position at that time, it was obvious that he could easily support two people at the same time.

But it cannot be concluded that Chong Yi has no mother-child affection for Mu Wan based on these actions.

Song Peiyu has never seen Chongyi reject Mu Wan.

As long as Mu Wan made a request, Chong Yi would not refuse even if Chong Yi scoffed at the request, or had no interest at all.

Just like when Mu Wan asked Chong Yi to persuade Emperor Yonghe to let Mu He enter the court immediately instead of wasting time in the East Palace Primary School.

After only one day, Mu He became a doctor of the Ministry of Rites.

Another example is that Mu Wan frequently made Chong Yi kneel down, and even made a move on Chong Yi.

Even Song Peiyu was able to avoid Mu Wan's attack, let alone Chong Yi, but Chong Yi never took the initiative to dodge.

It can be said that whatever Mu Wan asked him to do, he would do it.

In Song Peiyu's eyes, Mu Wan is like a mouse crawling out of a dark corner, ready to bite at any time.

But rats are just rats after all, at best they cause trouble to people.

Song Peiyu wanted to get rid of rats, only if it was worth it or not, not if it could be done.

What made Song Peiyu difficult was Chong Yi, the jade bottle held in the arms of the old mouse.

Song Peiyu didn't care about the fate of the mouse, but even if there was half a scratch on the jade bottle, he would feel distressed.

Song Peiyu will not take the initiative to do anything to Mu Wan until she understands Chongyi's intentions.

Of course, there is a premise.

Mu Wanken offered the jade bottle well, not letting the jade bottle get bumped.

Mu Wan spoke to Chong Yi in a low voice, and at first she complained about why Emperor Yonghe valued government affairs more than Chong Yi, but instead of resonating with Chong Yi, she was stared at by the cold and sharp eyes of the eldest princess, Mu Wan immediately calmed down.

She no longer mentioned Emperor Yonghe, but like a mother who cared about a child she hadn't seen for a long time, she inquired carefully about Chongyi's basic necessities of life for the past two years, especially the time Chongyi spent outside after Huashan's assassination.

Although Chong Yi was not very enthusiastic, he was still the same as before.

As long as Mu Wan asked him a question, he would not refuse to answer, but his words were less.

The eldest princess and King Su both listened silently to the conversation between Mu Wan and Chong Yi, mainly listening to Chong Yi's two years of experience when he was not in Xianyang.

Although they have already learned about these things from Song Peiyu, Lu Jihe and Bo Yang, or from letters, it is still different for them to hear Chong Yi say it personally.The atmosphere in the flower hall that had become dull since Mu Wan entered the door slowly relaxed.

Song Peiyu gave Lu Jihe a wink when Lu Jihe looked over, and the two left the flower hall one after the other.

Chong Yi's eyes immediately fell on the door.

Mu Wan and the eldest princess, who were always paying attention to Chong Yi's movements, followed Chong Yi's gaze and saw the backs of Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe.

Mu Wan lowered her head in time to block the deep disgust in her eyes.

Song Peiyu asked Lu Jihe to come out, because he wanted to ask the person sent by the Lu family to Chu if there was any news.

The Song family had received news from Chu State yesterday.

Before King Xiang and Princess Lingyun set off, there was turmoil in the Chu Palace, and even the capital of Chu was closed for a few days.

But what exactly happened is a secret of the Chu State, and the people of the Song family have not been able to find out the exact news.

The news that Lu Jihe received was not much different from what Song Peiyu already knew.

The only difference is that people from the Lu family in Chu State can be sure that even if there is no such thing as Chu State envoys coming to Zhao State, King Xiang will leave Chu State this year.

King Xiang has been planning since the first half of last year, and wants to go on the Western Regions trade route in person again.

Song Peiyu squinted at the glazed gemstone tree placed at the entrance of the flower hall, "That is to say, originally King Xiang planned to lead a team to the Western Regions trade route this year. Because of the changes that happened in Chujing in the second half of last year, King Xiang suddenly changed his mind and moved ahead of schedule. From the state of Chu, it turns into bringing Princess Lingyun to the state of Zhao to marry?"

Lu Jihe patted Soong Peiyu on the shoulder, walked back into the pavilion, took out a white chalk from his sleeve pocket, and drew a few random strokes on the stone table, outlining the general lines of Kyushu.

He took out a chalk of another color from his sleeve pocket and sketched a few more strokes, so that the Nine Kingdoms were clearly located on Kyushu.

Song Peiyu glanced at the location of Weiguo on the 'map', and said in a low voice, "The new emperor of Weiguo has passed away again."

Lu Jihe looked down at his achievements, and nodded in satisfaction. It was rare to have something nice to say to Song Peiyu, "Your chalk is good, it's much more convenient than brushes. Send me a few boxes of each color later."

As for Emperor Wei...

Since the old Emperor Wei passed away, this is already the fifth new Emperor Wei who died within three days after ascending the throne.

If the "new emperor" of the state of Wei can sit firmly on the throne for a month, it will not be too late to call himself the emperor of Wei.

Song Peiyu, Lu Jihe and the servants brought into the palace had already cleverly guarded a place not far from the gazebo, just blocking the intersection, and they could have a panoramic view of the gazebo including the gazebo.

It is guaranteed that no matter what direction someone suddenly appears, they can find it at the first time and remind the people in the gazebo.

Song Peiyu reached out to touch Chu Jing's position, and shook her head, "Maybe there are too many people doing it."

On the top are the twin kings of Liangzhou, and on the right are Wei, Li and Chen.

And in the current confusing form, it's not only neighbors who can do bad things.

In addition to being able to guarantee that Zhao Guo did not do it.

Yan State, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou, which are also located in the north, are also suspected.

Lu Jihe smiled confidently, and took out two pieces of chalk of different colors from his sleeve pocket. While explaining his conjecture to Song Peiyu in detail, he left different marks on the stone table with different colored chalks.

"The two kings of Liangzhou have been at odds for a long time, even to the point where either you or I will die. Since Chu State can borrow a way from King Liang, it will definitely not make peace with Prince Rui."

Lu Jihe drew a circle on King Liang's territory, and a triangle on King Rui's territory.

"Weiguo..." Lu Jihe sneered, and drew a cross directly on it, "We can't protect ourselves. If there is no new emperor to ascend the throne, I'm afraid it will be destroyed vigorously like the previous dynasty, and it will not be good for Chu Kingdom. threaten."

"The envoys of the state of Chu traveled thousands of miles to the state of Zhao. They not only brought Princess Lingyun, the jewel in the palm of the emperor of Chu, but also offered to share the trade routes of the Western Regions with the state of Zhao. They must want to make friends with the state of Zhao." Lu Jihe said on the map Zhao Guo drew a circle.

Finally, Lu Jihe drew a circle on the map of Chu State.

So far, the westernmost point of Kyushu, from top to bottom.

The territory of Zhao State, Liangzhou King Liang, and Chu State were all circled.

Wei Guo was crossed.

A triangle was drawn on Liangzhou Prince Rui's territory.

Among the countries bordering Chu State, only Li State and Chen State, which are located to the east of Chu State, are still blank.

Song Peiyu supported the stone table with both hands, staring at the map drawn by Lu Jihe from top to bottom, her eyes stayed on Chen Guo for a long time.

The recent matter of Huiyang County Lord made Song Peiyu feel a sense of crisis again.

He traveled to a book called "The King's Landing".

The protagonist of this book is the emperor's grandson of Chen Guo, and the person who finally unified the sixteen kingdoms and ended the troubled times was the emperor's grandson.

Song Peiyu's voice was barely audible, "Do you suspect that Chu Jing's matter has something to do with Li Guo and Chen Guo?"

Compared with Song Peiyu who still had a smile on his lips, Lu Jihe was already serious. He drew a big triangle on the stone table, framing Li Guo and Chen Guo together, "It may not be related to Chu Jing's accident, Maybe Chu just discovered that the relationship between Li and Chen is closer than imagined."

"Chu State panicked."

If this conjecture is true, as long as Li and Chen attack Chu at the same time, Chu has almost no chance of winning.

King Liang of Liangzhou had a good relationship with Chu State, but he was too busy to take care of himself, he was exhausted dealing with Dangxiang in the west and Prince Rui in the east, and he had no spare energy to help Chu State.

King Rui of Liangzhou and King Liang of Liangzhou hated each other deeply, the friend of King Liang of Liangzhou was the enemy of King Rui of Liangzhou, and it was impossible for King Rui of Liangzhou to extend a helping hand to Chu State.

Weiguo... other countries don't bother to pay attention to him, so he has to thank the heavens and thank the ancestors for their protection.

Moreover, the Wei State suffered the greatest loss in Zeng Town, and it is impossible to have spare energy to participate in the affairs of the Chu State.

As long as Li State and Chen State in the east attack Chu State, Chu State will not only face the attacks of the two countries, but also guard against the sudden turn of events of the Pu tribe in the west, which has lived peacefully for many years.

It can be said that it is extremely dangerous, and there is almost no way out.

Song Peiyu carefully recalled the content about Chen Guo and Li Guo in the book.

...has no memory at all.

If he could predict that he would transmigrate into this book one day, he would definitely memorize this novel with nearly ten million words, word for word!

Song Peiyu picked up the chalk scattered on the stone table and connected several countries in the south together.

Based on Lu Jihe's conjecture, it can completely explain the various actions of the envoys of Chu State that they could not understand.

If Zhao State reached an alliance with Liang Wang and Chu State.

When Chu State was besieged by Li State and Chen State again, Zhao State could go all the way south along the territory of Liangzhou King Liang to help Chu State resist Li State and Chen State.

Everyone in the world knows that the brave soldiers are all in the north, especially the Yan and Zhao countries that need to resist the Turks and Tuyuhun for many years, they are even more warriors.

One against ten is too exaggerated. Under the same environment, if there is no acclimatization, it is easy to fight against two or three.

Song Peiyu bent her knuckles and tapped the stone table one after another, making regular sounds.

After a long time, he sat on the stool beside the stone table, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and carefully wiped off the traces of chalk on the stone table.

"What do you think?" Lu Jihe asked eagerly, staring at Song Peiyu with bright eyes, full of pride and eagerness to try.

Although the conclusion was appalling, Lu Jihe never doubted himself.

This round, he was the first to guess the purpose of the envoy from Chu State, and he was better than Song Peiyu.

He was looking forward to Song Peiyu's counterattack.

Song Peiyu wiped away the traces on the stone table, then threw down the dusty handkerchief, raised her eyelids and looked at Lu Jihe, "If you guessed right, if you want the Zhao-Chu alliance, Chu Guoguang just provided the Western Region There are not enough trade routes.”

Lu Jihe was stunned, he didn't expect Song Peiyu to be silent for a while just thinking about this question.

"What do you want?" Lu Jihe leaned on the pillar in the gazebo with his arms folded.

He has already seen Song Peiyu's ability to scratch things in his hands, but Chu State and Zhao State are so far apart...

Could it be that Song Peiyu still wants to open the shop to Chu State?

Seems like a good idea too.

Lu Jihe thought absently.

Although he won this round no matter what, he felt a little boring.

Song Peiyu asked instead, "Do you know where the good seeds come from?"

"Huh?" Lu Jihe barely regained his senses, and shook his head in a dispirited manner.

He only knew that Song Peiyu used the name of Chong Yi as a birthday gift to Emperor Yonghe, but he didn't care about where the good seeds came from.

It seems to be Zhuangzi who Song Peiyu once stayed with?

He also mocked Song Peiyu at that time, since he was good at farming, why didn't he take root in Zhuangzi, and what was he doing in the East Palace.

"The good seeds come from Yanzhou, and come out from the Zhuangzi of the king of Yanzhou." Song Peiyu recalled what Yinbao said to him when he brought the good seeds back.

At that time, he didn't quite understand the behavior of wandering merchants. Now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid the King of Yanzhou has just obtained the good seeds and is in the trial planting stage.

Most of the rich merchants who smuggled the seeds out of Yanzhou King's Zhuangzi just used words to fool Yinbao, and the merchants themselves may not believe those words.

In fact, if Song Peiyu hadn't just left five acres of land in Lihua Village to observe all kinds of seeds, she wouldn't have paid special attention to the seeds bought at a large price from traveling merchants.

By mistake, Zhao Guo got a good seed instead.

There was an undisguised mockery in Lu Jihe's eyes.

This ridicule was not aimed at Song Peiyu, but at King Yanzhou.

"Have you ever wondered where the good seed of King Yanzhou comes from?" Song Peiyu continued to ask Lu Jihe.

The expression on Lu Jihe's face immediately returned to normal, and he asked Song Peiyu, "You know?"

Song Peiyu replied earnestly, "I guess it's from a foreign land."

Lu Jihe burst into laughter after hearing this answer, "What are you thinking, Yanzhou is sandwiched between Yizhou and Qingzhou, where did it come from... You mean the things brought back by sea ships?"

Song Peiyu nodded, picked up a piece of chalk and drew a line on the stone table, which was the coastline, from north to south to west.

The following are Yizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and Jingzhou.

Yan State occupies Yizhou, and the relationship with Zhao State is like that of two kings in Liangzhou. Only life and death is the only way out.

Yanzhou and Qingzhou, together with Chen State, which occupies Xuzhou and Yangzhou below, are far away from Zhao State, separated by Yizhou and Yuzhou.

Then there is Chu State, which occupies Jingzhou.

They also have access to the sea, and they are actively courting Zhao Guo.

Lu Jihe felt that he seemed to be surrounded by Song Peiyu, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly realized, and said with a horrified smile, "You don't think that there are good breeds everywhere in the outer domain?"

Soong Peiyu was very lucky to be able to get the good seed from Yanzhou. Could it be that he had to sail from Chu State to find the good seed.

This……

Stupid dream!

Song Peiyu raised a confident smile, and said in a firm tone, "Don't worry, no matter whether I can find good seeds, I will definitely not suffer."

The world beyond the sea was unknown to Lu Jihe, but it was different to Song Peiyu.

At least he knew roughly where what he was looking for was.

Song Peiyu has long compared the various maps of this era with the maps of the era before he traveled.

Although there are many differences in details, the general plates are similar.

Song Peiyu also didn't expect that the fleet going to sea could bring back high-yield varieties such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Such requirements were too difficult for the existing ships at this stage.

The ship set off from the Jingzhou estuary, headed west along the coastline, bypassed the first protruding continent, and landed at the most sunken place, which was the destination that Song Peiyu had planned for the fleet.

Cotton can be found there.

According to the current actual situation of Zhao State, the most urgently needed crop is cotton.

If he remembered correctly, crops such as eggplant, cucumber, spinach, taro, and bitter gourd could all be found on this continent.

He can also draw the appearance of these crops, so that the fleet will not be looking for a needle in a haystack.

What is the difference between this and good breed everywhere?

In other words, only for Song Peiyu, there are good breeds everywhere outside the sea.

Lu Jihe had a full view of Song Peiyu's high spirits, his eyes were bent into sarcastic arcs, but he didn't bother to hit Song Peiyu, he just waited to watch the excitement.

Anyway, Song Peiyu has Liulifang and Fenfangting, as well as [-]% of the profits from the Qihuo City, so she won't really make herself poor.

Thinking of this, the sneer on Lu Jihe's face suddenly subsided.

It seems... a bit unpleasant?

Maybe it was because the atmosphere in the flower hall started to become uncomfortable again. The Eldest Princess and Huiyang County Master pulled Princess Lingyu and retreated voluntarily, followed by everyone else from Donggong Elementary School.

Song Peiyu immediately looked over.

"You'd better not go back. With the eldest princess around, Zhuo Guifei can't cause any trouble." Lu Jihe reminded Song Peiyu.

Naturally, Song Peiyu would not go back. Ever since Chong Yi 'fell ill' and closed the palace to recuperate, although their relationship in private has never changed, when there are other people around, especially when the eldest princess is around, they choose to hide by coincidence. other side.

Song Peiyu didn't know if Chongyi would do this out of the same idea as him.

But this kind of tacit understanding made Song Peiyu feel very strange.

There is also unspeakable joy.

Others also saw Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe sitting in the pavilion, and came over one after another.

Song Peiyu found that the princess of Huiyang County was avoiding his sight, and even deliberately hid behind the eldest princess.

Song Peiyu, who originally wanted to wait for a few days, and then slowly figured out a way to talk to the head of Huiyang County, changed his mind.

Compared with the love and hatred between Chongyi and Huiyang county master in the book.

Song Peiyu was more concerned about the situation between Chen Guo and Li Guo. It would be great if the Huiyang county master not only knew more details about Zhao Guo, but also knew about Chen Guo's affairs.

There are a total of seven servings of the latest detoxification decoction.

According to Tai Hospital, as long as Chong Yi eats all these seven soups, all the toxins in the body can be eliminated.

It is possible that he will be weak for a period of time because of this, but it is not a serious problem. On the contrary, it is a good sign for Chong Yi, which proves that his body damaged by toxin is slowly recovering.

Except for the first day when everyone was taking the medicine, for the rest of the days, only the eldest princess, King Su and Mu Wan went to the East Palace on time every day to wait for Chongyi to take the medicine.

The Eldest Princess or the head of Huiyang County will accompany the Eldest Princess alone, but Princess Lingyun has never been to the East Palace again.

Song Peiyu guessed that King Xiang had already died and wanted to marry Princess Lingyun to Chongyi.

On the other hand, after realizing that the marriage had completely failed, King Xiang finally brought the envoys of the Chu State to the State of Zhao, and took the initiative to bring Princess Lingyun to share the business routes of the Western Regions with the State of Zhao. To Zhao Guo.

It made Lu Jihe guess a lot.

After the state of Chu found out that the state of Li and the state of Chen had close contacts, they panicked.

After listening to Lu Jihe's analysis, Song Peiyu started to prepare in advance.

He forged an 'Ancient Book'.Using the writing habits of 500 years ago, I wrote an 'autobiography'.

Probably because of the habit of telling stories to Chong Yi, when Song Peiyu wrote this autobiography, her thoughts flowed continuously, and in the end, because of the limited space of the parchment, a lot of content had to be deleted.

It's almost a story about a businessman who, after offending an official, had to leave the land with his fleet and go to a completely unknown place to find a way out.

After a storm, the businessman landed in a completely unfamiliar place with no language.

Although this land does not have the foods he is used to seeing, it is also rich in products, and there are many things that he has never seen in his hometown.

Flowers with fruits that look like animal fur, strange vegetables that are black and purple but not poisonous, fruits that grow underground, and strange food that tastes particularly fragrant and sweet after being cooked...

The life of a businessman in a strange land is not considered desolate, but he always misses his hometown deeply.

As he got older, the businessman gradually strengthened his mind.

He wants to go home, even if the nobleman he offended back then still refuses to let him go, he still wants to return to his roots.

So he took the novelty things from the strange land, spent years of accumulation, and built a boat that he didn't know if he could take him home.

At the end of the autobiography, the businessman lost his way on the vast sea. Three days after he had run out of ammunition and food, he suddenly saw a ship with the flag of his hometown.

The businessman hurriedly recorded his luck in his autobiography, and imagined the scene after returning home.

The autobiography begins with "I don't know if the peach tree that grew in the yard when I was young is still there. 'end.

After Song Jinyu learned of the secret conversation between King Xiang and Emperor Yonghe, Song Peiyu immediately wrote a secret letter to Emperor Yonghe, and sent it to the Hall of Qinzheng along with the old parchment.

Song Peiyu speculated in the excerpt that Yanzhou's fine breeds came from overseas.

If Zhao State forms an alliance with Chu State, he wants to borrow Chu State's seaport, and he is willing to bear all the expenses of the fleet.

I hope to find the crops recorded on the parchment from overseas and bring them back to Zhao.

Zhezi sent the parchment to the Qinzheng Hall, but no response was received, but Song Peiyu got a pair of jade Ruyi rewarded by Emperor Yonghe.

On the fifth day after Chongyi took the detoxification medicine, Song Peiyu met the preoccupied Huiyang county magistrate in the garden.

The head of Huiyang County is very unhappy recently, because she has dreamed again. The difference is that her recent dream does not match the reality.

In Chong Yi's body, he couldn't see the appearance of deep-rooted affection for her at all.

After breaking away from the illusion brought to her by the dream, the head of Huiyang County found that whenever she stood with the eldest princess, Chong Yi's gaze would always fall on the eldest princess for the first time, and then...it naturally retracted. It won't fall on her.

This made Huiyang County Lord frustrated and at a loss.

Can't help but start thinking, does she really like Chong Yi?

I like Chong Yi in the dream, or Chong Yi in reality.

But they are one person, why must they be compared separately?

Before Huiyang county master could figure out this problem, she encountered a new confusion.

Ever since she arrived at the eldest princess's mansion, Princess Lingyun, who had been gentle and quiet as if she had no temper, suddenly became lively.

Princess Lingyun no longer refuses to go out of the house to play, and she also shows that she is very interested in the outside world, which is completely different from before.

One day, after drinking a few glasses of fruit wine, Huiyang county master knew the reason for Princess Lingyun's change.

Princess Lingyun leaned on the cushion with drunken eyes, and smiled innocently like a newborn child. She said that she liked the eldest princess and the head of Huiyang County very much, but she liked Chu State more, and hoped that she would have another chance after returning to Chu State. meet them.

Princess Lingyun is going back to Chu?

Ever since she knew that Princess Lingyun was almost assassinated in the Princess Chang's mansion, the head of Huiyang County understood that Princess Lingyun in her dream might not really be "hanging herself".

She was still worried about this for several days, and she had to go to the eldest princess's yard at night to hug the eldest princess to fall asleep.

However, the county owner of Huiyang never thought that the state of Chu would give up the marriage with the state of Zhao so easily.

Through this incident, Huiyang County Lord confirmed her guess.

Things that have appeared in dreams but have not yet happened in reality can be changed.

Since Princess Lingyun can get rid of the ending in the dream, she and Chong Yi can also have a different future from the dream.

So... Chong Yi has changed a long time ago?

He and the person in the dream, except for his appearance, are not half alike, and he doesn't like her either!

The head of Huiyang County tore at the veil in his hand expressionlessly, and got into a tangle again.

She really really really likes Chong Yi in her dream.

And so far I still can't understand, and I can't forgive the choice made by the "Master Huiyang County" in the dream.

Okay, it's not completely incomprehensible.

Chong Yi in the dream has taken good care of her since she was a child.

Therefore, in the dream, she and the eldest princess have no real intimacy at all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are secretly tit for tat.

She will choose Wei Zhiyuan instead of Chongyi...

No, she couldn't explain it.

idiot!

"Lord of Huiyang County"

The gentle voice with a smile reached the ears of the Huiyang County Lord, who was so frightened that the Huiyang County Lord, who was full of satisfaction and immersed in his own emotions, jumped up on the spot, looking vigilantly in the direction of the sound.

It's Song Peiyu.

She didn't want to see him, and every time she came to the East Palace, she deliberately avoided him.

Because she was afraid that Song Peiyu would ask her why she thought something might happen to Princess Lingyun.

If Princess Lingyun had hanged herself, her worrying rhetoric could barely hold water.

But Princess Lingyun was murdered.

When she reminded Song Peiyu, what she said seemed to know something in advance.

The head of Huiyang County retreated slowly, looking at Song Peiyu with even more vigilance, "Master Song."

Song Peiyu coughed lightly, resisting the urge to touch her face, is he that scary?

With the appearance of Huiyang county master, it is hard not to make him feel guilty for bullying the little girl.

"County Lord..."

Song Peiyu didn't finish her sentence, but Huiyang county magistrate had already turned around and ran away, "I need to change clothes, excuse me!"

The servants behind the Huiyang county master didn't react, they were stunned for a moment, then rushed to salute Song Peiyu, and chased after Huiyang county master.

Song Peiyu touched her face and turned her head. Jin Bao and Yin Bao were lowering their heads, their shoulders trembling suspiciously.

"Heh" Song Peiyu also laughed.

He has been very popular since he was a child, but this is the first time he has scared people away.

"Master Song!" Lai Fu trotted over, looked suspiciously at the three masters and servants who still had a smile on their faces, swallowed the words on his lips, and whispered, "Is there a happy event in your family?"

"No." Song Peiyu waved his hand and said casually, "Jin Bao just told me an interesting story."

Laifu looked at Jinbao with a questioning look in his eyes.

Jin Bao looked at Lai Fu innocently. He also saw something interesting just now, but he couldn't tell Lai Fu more.

In the end, it was Song Peiyu who fulfilled the lie herself, "The servants in my house always said that they saw the tiger's shadow in the middle of the night, but they didn't even see half a tiger's hair when the lights were brightly lit."

"Ah" Lai Fu's expression became tense.

Seeing the shadow of the tiger but not finding the tiger is more frightening than having a tiger in the Song Mansion.

"Guess what happened?" Song Peiyu looked at Laifu with a smile in his eyes.

Laifu shook his head honestly, and quietly clenched his hand by his side into a fist.

He has always been afraid of these things, if he knew this was the case, he would not talk too much just now.

Song Peiyu shook her head, "Yesterday someone found an orange cat in the corner of the kitchen. The tiger everyone saw was the shadow cast by the orange cat."

Jin Bao and Yin Bao thought of the scene where the head of Huiyang County fled just now, covered their mouths and lowered their heads firmly.

When Laifu heard that it was a cat, his tense body immediately relaxed, but he still couldn't understand why Jinbao and Yinbao laughed so happily.

Isn't this an interesting story that Jin Bao told Mr. Song?

How do they behave as if they heard it for the first time.

Laifu put the unreasonable things behind him, and whispered to Song Peiyu, "Emperor Wei died, the sackcloth for the Eighth Prince of Wei is not enough."

The smile on Song Peiyu's face subsided.

According to the customs of Wei, if more than one immediate family member dies during the same mourning period, the mourner will fold the mourning clothes on top of the mourning clothes to show grief.

It was the eighth prince's own father who died first, and the eighth prince's first mourning clothes were already on his body. As long as any relative of the eighth prince died during his father's funeral, no matter whether it was his peers or juniors, he would fold the mourning clothes .

Song Peiyu counted with her fingers, and her tone was rarely uncertain, "The eighth prince's mourning clothes have stacked up to... the 52nd floor?"

Just on the day when the old Emperor Wei died, two adult princes in the Kingdom of Wei died violently.

Lai Fu moved his lips, his voice was barely audible, "Three days ago, the mourning clothes of the Eighth Prince of Wei State were stacked to the 62nd floor."

Song Peiyu suddenly didn't know what to say, he sighed, and whispered, "If the cloth in the East Palace is not enough, then buy it with silver, don't let the Eighth Prince have any regrets."

Laifu be quiet
