I am a ruler in troubled times

Song Peiyu stood stiffly on the spot, uncommonly at a loss.

Chong Yi suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, and raised the arm hanging by his side.

The blankness in Song Peiyu's eyes suddenly turned into dots of light, and he didn't even care to close the door, and rushed towards Chongyi like a flying feather arrow, and landed steadily in Chongyi's arms.

Chong Yi folded his arms, and lightly patted Song Peiyu's stiff and trembling shoulders, suddenly there was an inexplicable love in his heart, a person who would turn pale and legs weak when encountering an assassination.

Giving medicine to Mu Wan personally is really too embarrassing for the raccoon slave.

Why not talk to him?

It's good for him to do this kind of thing.

Chong Yi looked down at Song Peiyu's face, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Mu Wan who was lying on the ground and looking sideways with all her strength.

But his gaze didn't stay on Mu Wan for a moment, he lowered his head and kissed Song Peiyu's side face lightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Mu Wan couldn't hear what Chong Yi said, but she could see the movements of Chong Yi and Song Peiyu.

She saw the good son she regarded as a life-saving straw, with a tenderness she had never seen before, but this kind of tenderness was not directed at her, but at Song Peiyu, who had just poured "Sleeping Beauty" on her, and treated him the same way. He held Song Peiyu in his arms like a treasure.

He even lowered his head and stuck to Song Peiyu's profile?

Could it be that what Song Peiyu said to her just now is true...

no, impossible!

Her son is the prince, the future emperor, how could he be with a man?

Unknowingly, Mu Wan's vision was completely blocked by the blurred mist, but Song Peiyu could still hear Song Peiyu raised her head and said to Chong Yi, "Do you want to go in and see her?"

Mu Wan's eyes suddenly burst into a strong brilliance, and even the tears blocked in her eyes flowed out, allowing her eyes to regain clarity, but she saw Chong Yi shaking her head.

Then Chong Yi and Song Peiyu didn't look in her direction again, they turned and left.

Tears rolled down Mu Wan's eyes, and in a trance, she seemed to hear herself calling Chong Yi's nickname heartbreakingly, but she didn't make any sound.

He could only watch helplessly as those two people clasped their fingers even when they turned to leave.

What Song Peiyu said was true, they really had such feelings.

Mu Wan no longer shed tears, and the remaining light in her eyes gradually dissipated.

After Chong Yi and Song Peiyu were completely out of sight, Yin Bao, who had been waiting for a long time in the corner of the yard, immediately came to close the door.

Mu Wan watched helplessly as the sun's light was shut out, and she also closed her eyes.

What's the use of opening your eyes?

Anyway, there is nothing other than darkness.

Ever since she married General Jianwei as a sequel, she has been completely in the dark.

No, it was earlier.

As her consciousness became more and more blurred, Mu Wan seemed to see an old friend whom she had not seen for many years, wearing his favorite sapphire blue robe, smiling shyly, but the heat in her eyes could not be faked.

Both Song Peiyu and Chong Yi came from the palace on horseback.

When returning to the East Palace, Song Peiyu asked someone to find a carriage.

He was rushing back to Xianyang with Chong Yi day and night, but yesterday he was woken up by the cry of 'Your Majesty is dead', and then stayed up all day, he really couldn't bear it.

If it weren't for the heartfelt desire to send Mu Wan on the road quickly, so as not to cause her to do stupid things when she is unconscious, Song Peiyu would have fallen asleep while lying on the large and soft bed in the East Palace.

Although 'Sleeping Beauty' is highly toxic, it will take two or three hours for Mu Wan to die completely.

Song Peiyu didn't intend to wait any longer, let alone let Chong Yi wait here.

He had already confessed that Yin Bao would stay in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and arranged for Mu Wan to leave in a more dignified manner.

So apart from Lai Fu who was driving, only Song Peiyu and Chong Yi were in the carriage.

Song Peiyu was resting on Chongyi's shoulder, obviously physically exhausted, but mentally inexplicably excited, without any sleepiness.

Chong Yi lowered his head and looked at Song Peiyu's eyeballs flickering under his eyelids, and said in a low voice, "Can't sleep?"

Like a child who had promised to take a nap but was caught, Song Peiyu immediately fell silent.

After a long while, Song Peiyu nodded annoyedly, opened his eyes again, looked at Chong Yi with a faint gaze, "If you tell me a story, I can fall asleep."

Confusion flashed across Chong Yi's eyes, and the finger that touched Song Peiyu's eyelids just now changed to pointing at himself, "Me?"

Song Peiyu nodded affirmatively.

After the two looked at each other for a while, Chong Yi nodded stiffly.

Song Peiyu changed from sitting beside Chong Yi with her head on Chong Yi's shoulder to lying on the carriage seat with her head resting on Chong Yi's lap, "Let's get started."

Chong Yi looked at Song Peiyu's eyes that became more and more energetic, and made a dissatisfied voice, and stretched out his hand to cover Song Peiyu's eyes, "If you don't close your eyes, how can you sleep."

Song Peiyu patted Chong Yi's hand over his eyes angrily, and urged, "I'll close my eyes, tell me quickly!"

However, after the carriage was completely quiet, Chong Yi still did not speak.

Just when Song Peiyu was waiting impatiently and wanted to urge her, he finally heard Chong Yi's voice, "Do you want to know why she treats me badly?"

Song Peiyu froze, first nodded nana, then whispered, "You know?"

Chong Yi let out a casual 'hmm', and immediately said, "Don't talk to me, go to bed quickly."

Song Peiyu pouted aggrievedly.

It wasn't that Chong Yi took the initiative to ask him. Could it be that it was right for him not to talk to him and let Chong Yi sing a one-man show?

The oddly shaped mouth was kissed. Before Song Peiyu could get angry, Chong Yi had already smiled and said, "She hates me."

After all, he is not a real child, since Chong Yi was born, he has a clear perception of everything that happens around him.

Originally, he had already been carried out of the room, but the mental quality of the woman holding him was really poor.

Before he could cry in fright, the mother-in-law was so frightened that she screamed, which attracted the attention of others.

The mother-in-law had no choice but to hug him back.

Chong Yi found out on the second day.

It turned out that the mother-in-law took him away to change her son.

People in this world are weak, and it is wrong to open their eyes when they are born.

He also heard the conversation between Mrs. Mu and Mu Wan.

Chong Yi disliked the stinky and long conversation between Mrs. Mu and Mu Wan, tilted her head and thought for a while, and concluded in one sentence, "Mr. Mu told her to stop thinking about her lover, live a good life with her father, and take good care of me. "

It's a pity that she obviously didn't listen to it. After so many years, she didn't do anything.

Song Peiyu, who has become more and more energetic since Chong Yi began to formally tell stories, sat up abruptly. He had heard Chong Yi say that he could remember things when he was born, but he didn't take it to heart at the time. He never thought that he would miss so many important things because of this. Information.

"Love?"

How could she have a lover?

How dare Mr. Mu!

Helplessness flashed across Chong Yi's eyes, and he stretched out his hand to embrace Song Peiyu in his arms.

It's not a lover either, it's someone who has been engaged to Mu Wan since she was a child and grew up as a childhood sweetheart.

Chong Yi said this because he felt that this person fits the "love man" in the storybook.

"Ah" Song Peiyu replied full of disappointment. In order to quickly satisfy his curiosity, he had to resist the temptation to let Chong Yi tell him stories, and asked Chong Yi carefully what was going on.

Under Song Peiyu's questioning, Chong Yi's way of speaking finally returned to its usual normal and orderly manner.

Song Peiyu also gradually pieced together what happened back then through Chong Yi's words.

Mu Wan has a fiancé who grew up as a childhood sweetheart. The two were originally married with their own fingers. Unfortunately, since their birth, the fiancé's family has encountered an unprecedented crisis.

In order to protect the fiancé, the fiancé's family also allowed the fiancé and Mu Wan to cultivate a relationship since childhood. When the fiancé was three years old, the fiancé was sent to the Mu family.

At that time, the turmoil in the fiancé's family had just started. Everyone, including Mrs. Mu, believed that the turmoil in the fiancé's family was not only a danger but also an opportunity. If the fiancée's family seized the opportunity, it would definitely rise to a higher level in the future.

As the youngest daughter of Mu Shizhong, Mu Wan is also the first daughter. Her brothers and sisters are too much older than her. They either go to school, or learn to be a housekeeper every day. She is so busy that she really has no time to stay. to the little sister.

As for the concubine sisters...

The more aristocratic the family, the more concerned about the concubine, even if Mu Wan wanted to play more with the concubine's sisters, Mrs. Mu would not allow it.

Mu Wan and her fiance became each other's playmates as a matter of course.

The fiancé likes Mu Wan very much. From the age of five to ten, every time someone from the family came to pick him up, he refused to leave, asking 'Sister Wan' not to go home.

After his fiancé was ten years old, people in his family still brought him a lot of things every year, but never mentioned the matter of letting him go home.

After the fiancé's family took a step forward for a short time, they immediately fell into an even more embarrassing situation.

If the fiancé is taken away at this time, the Mu family will definitely not admit to the marriage that has not passed the six ceremonies, but the fiancé's family must not lose the Mu family at such a difficult time.

Even though her fiancé's family was in complete decline, Mu Wan never thought that her marriage with her fiancé would change. After the grand wedding ceremony, she was looking forward to marrying her fiancé day and night.

It's a pity that even though Mu Wan begged in every possible way, the Mu family would not marry her to her fiancé, and even refused to mention it.

Even if Mu Wan threatened to commit suicide, the Mu family just refused to propose a marriage to Mu Wan, nor did they drive away her fiancé.

When Mu Wan was 17 years old, General Jianwei appeared in Mu Shizhong's sight.

Emperor Qing had designated Luoyang as the only capital of the Yan Kingdom, and most of the resources began to be tilted towards Luoyang. The aristocratic families in Youzhou, especially Xianyang, complained about this, and the Mu family was no exception.

General Jianwei holds most of the military power in Youzhou, his original wife has no children, and what the Mu family lacks most is military power.

If he can take the military power of General Jianwei into his own hands, even if he is facing the Lu family, the Mu family will not have to back down.

Mu Shizhong was very determined, he decided to kill his fiancé, make Mu Wan completely give up, and then honestly marry General Jianwei.

Mu Wan heard about this incident in advance and decided to commit suicide together with her fiancé.

The fiancé promised Mu Wan to commit suicide in love, and drank a cup of poisoned wine with Mu Wan, but Mu Wan regretted it at the last moment and spit out all the wine in her mouth.

The fiancé never blamed Mu Wan until the last moment of his life.

Mu Wan thought that her fiancé would forgive her only if she loved her.

Mrs. Mu told Mu Wan that Mu Shizhong had told her fiancé long ago that if he was willing to drink poisonous wine, Mu would arrange a good place for the rest of his family, so that even if the glory of the past could not be restored, they would be safe and sound. Live the rest of your life.

Song Peiyu nestled in Chong Yi's arms, and played with Chong Yi's hand.

The words of Mu Shizhong and Mrs. Mu are not credible at all. The fiancé knew it was poisoned wine, but he still drank it clean. After finding out that Mu Wan did not drink poisoned wine, the real reason why he didn't blame Mu Wan is beyond investigation.

But Mu Wan is not good to Chong Yi, and even finds the reason why she hates Chong Yi.

She knew clearly that Mu Shizhong and her family were the culprits that caused the tragedy between her and her fiancé, but she dared not resist or hate Mu Shizhong and her family, nor did she dare to confront her husband, General Jianwei. , can only place hatred on the innocent and weak Chong Yi.

Because he hated Chong Yi, he agreed with Mu Shizhong's idea of ​​replacing Chong Yi with Mu He.

After the plan failed, Mu Wan still regarded Chong Yi as a thorn in her flesh, and she didn't see Chong Yi as good at all.

Thinking about it carefully, Mu Shizhong and Mu Wan are exactly the same people.

The next day, news came out from the Ministry of Criminal Justice that the criminal, Mrs. Mu, had suffered a sudden illness in prison and had already passed away.

When the news reached Qinzheng Hall, it disappeared without any response.

Eunuch Xiang from the East Palace took away Mu Wan's body with two young eunuchs. He neither entered the imperial mausoleum like the Empress Yuan, nor was it buried in Mu's ancestral tomb. No inscription marks were left.

Chong Yi and Song Peiyu never asked Xiang Gonggong where Mu Wan was buried, and Xiang Gonggong never took the initiative to mention it.

There are many unknown secrets involved behind Mu's intention to murder Emperor Yonghe.

This was the news that Song Peiyu had rested in the East Palace and was called to the back of the Hall of Qinzheng by Song Jinyu.

Emperor Yonghe will find out about Mu's plan, not only because Concubine Sheng informed him, but also because of Wei Zhong who was found to be wrong five years ago, but only recently began to make changes.

When Song Peiyu heard this, her vigilance was immediately raised to the highest level, "What did he do?"

Since Song Jinyu called Song Peiyu, he didn't want to hide it from Song Peiyu, and said in a low voice, "Some time ago, Wei Zhong suddenly started to contact his former subordinates frequently, and wanted to help Mu Wu fight for the power of the Jingwei Commander."

Song Jinyu's gaze was always on Song Peiyu.

He originally wanted to explain the affairs of Xianyang to Song Peiyu first after yesterday's incident was over, and all the members of the Mu clan were sent down to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the people of Qinzheng Hall were all dispersed.

For this reason, he first waited in Qinzheng Hall for two hours, but was called to drink by the heartbroken Emperor Yonghe and King Su, and finally escaped before the palace gate was locked after he disagreed.

However, he hurried back to the Song Mansion and went straight to Tianhuju, only to learn that Song Peiyu never came back, just like the day before, and lived in the palace again.

If it hadn't been for knowing that Song Peiyu had left the palace to go to the Ministry of Justice, His Royal Highness would have chased after her, and then the people in the Ministry of Justice had reported that Mu Wan had a sudden illness, and Song Jinyu almost entered the palace to arrest her.

Song Peiyu was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't realize that Song Jinyu was looking at him more and more strangely.

Perhaps it was because she knew that she had traveled through the book and that Chen Guo would eventually unify the world, Song Peiyu had always been inexplicably concerned about Chen Guo.

After becoming Chong Yi's companion, the most risky thing he did was to steal Wei Zhong's personal jade pendant, and find a chance to put it in the home of the former Qintian Supervisor whose house was ransacked.

At that time, he was caught by Chong Yi on the tree...

From then on, although Wei Zhong was only ordered by Emperor Yonghe to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, it seemed that he had started to lose his luck. Whenever he was about to finish thinking about his mistakes, he would always make some small mistakes, which made the time for thinking about his mistakes longer.

As early as a few years ago, Wei Zhong's old troops were separated by Murong Jing, Luo San and others, and the second-rank general Jianyuan was no different from his false title.

In Song Peiyu's eyes, Wei Zhong's action is equivalent to Chen Guo's action.

Why did Chen Guo suddenly attack Zhao Guo?Or come up and go to Emperor Yonghe.

Even if Zhao Guo takes Wei Guo, it will be Prince Rui of Liangzhou who will be affected immediately, not Chen Guo who is still separated from Wei Guo by Li Guo of Yuzhou.

Six years ago, when Song Peiyu first came out of Lihua Village, he met Di Puppet to assassinate Emperor Yonghe.

Three years ago, Song Peiyu followed Chong Yi to Mount Hua to offer sacrifices, and the princess's guard suddenly attacked the princess, and that guard was also a flute puppet.

As we all know, the puppet flute was something unique to the previous dynasty. Most of the former court officials fled to Xuzhou and Yangzhou for refuge, and most of the various documents and classics left by the previous dynasty were also taken away by these people.

At the beginning, some people suspected that it was Chen Guo who started it, but Zhao Guo and Chen Guo were indeed far apart. From Chen Guo's point of view, Zhao Guo's stable struggle with Yan Guo was the scene they wanted to see the most. There was really no reason Start with Zhao Guo.

Because he couldn't find the motive of Chen Guo's attack on Zhao Guo, Zhao Guo could only keep all the doubts found in his heart, and then let it go as if he didn't find out.

At that time, Zhao Guo had just been established and had not yet stabilized completely.Even if there is evidence to prove that Chen Guo did these things, Zhao Guo has no other choice but to abuse Chen Guo, which will make others look down on Zhao Guo.

So in the past, most of the things that were found about Chen Guoshang stopped in the end.

This time, Song Peiyu didn't intend to let this matter go by so easily.

Even if there is still no good opportunity to get revenge and go back for a while, at least we have to figure out what's going on.

Naturally, Song Jinyu would not hide it from Song Peiyu, and soon told Song Peiyu everything he knew.

When Emperor Yonghe fell ill, King Su did send someone to send letters to Chong Yi in a hurry every day. These messengers were intercepted as soon as they left Xianyang, which was Wei Zhong's method.

Emperor Yonghe and King Su were well aware of Wei Zhong's little tricks, but they didn't rush to attack, instead they followed Mu's and Wei Zhong's wishes.

The Mu family and Wei Zhong thought that they were in the dark, and Emperor Yonghe and King Su were in the light, becoming more and more unscrupulous, but they didn't know that Emperor Yonghe and King Su, who they thought were in the light, were silently observing them in the dark at all times.

Even if Chong Yi did not lead the army back to Xianyang in time, and if there was a mutiny, Emperor Yonghe and King Su would still not be defeated by Mu and Wei Zhong.

The twelve guards who successfully reported to Chongyi were also sent by King Su.

Starting from sending an urgent letter of [-] miles to Chongyi on the third day, King Su would privately send someone with his token to deliver the letter to Chongyi every day.

The person who successfully reported to Chong Yi was deliberately released by Wei Zhong.

After knowing Wei Zhong's actions, Emperor Yonghe and King Su also guessed that Wei Zhong and Mu family wanted to ambush Chongyi outside Xianyang, and secretly mobilized soldiers and horses to hide around Xianyang to prevent Chongyi from being ambushed unexpectedly. Injuried.

Hearing this, Song Peiyu suddenly remembered that they were going back to Xianyang soon. When they passed a certain place, Chong Yi was extremely cautious, almost slowing down the marching speed, and specifically asked Song Peiyu to follow him. .

So their rush back to Xianyang was not as smooth as he imagined, but they were still in danger, but he didn't notice it?

At that time, Chong Yi noticed that the person should be the person arranged by Emperor Yonghe and King Su.

So smooth, many things can make sense.

Song Peiyu was getting more information from Song Jinyu when Eunuch Meng came over suddenly and told them that the investigation on 'Sleeping Beauty' had new results.

'Sleeping Beauty' is a very difficult flower to grow. It can only grow in damp and dark places, and there is only one 'Sleeping Beauty' in each area, and there will never be a second plant.

Each 'Sleeping Beauty' will only bloom one flower, and the flowering period is uncertain and there is only a general range, and each flowering time is only half an hour.

After half an hour, the 'Sleeping Beauty' flowers will naturally fall from the branches.

Only the 'Sleeping Beauty' that is blooming on the branches can be highly poisonous after being picked off, dried and ground into powder.

After more investigations by imperial physicians, I went to the Sheng family and other wealthy households with caravans in Xianyang to inquire.

In the end, it was concluded that the 'Sleeping Beauty' misdiagnosed by the imperial physicians yesterday was also a 'Sleeping Beauty', but it was not made of beauties picked from the branches, but made of beauties that had fallen off naturally.

Unless someone like Chong Yi is willing to taste the taste of 'Sleeping Beauty' for himself, even the most seasoned and careful doctor may not be able to notice the difference.

After Eunuch Meng left, Song Peiyu unceremoniously went to flip through the notes on Song Jinyu's desk.

Since yesterday, the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice have been working overtime to interrogate Mu's people.

Mu's direct branch still hoped that Chong Yi would change his mind and try to win them over, so he refused to confess easily, but the people from the side branch confessed everything they knew without any hesitation.

There are also the old servants of the Mu family, they know more inside information than the offshoots of the Mu family.

Song Peiyu flipped through these notebooks in a hurry, and wrote down what he was looking for on the blank rice paper.

After a while, Song Peiyu pushed the zhezi away and concentrated on looking at the rice paper.

Mu Shizhong and Mu Guifei had prepared two kinds of poisons, 'Concentrating Breath' and 'Drunk Beauty' from the very beginning, fearing that Emperor Yonghe's confidantes would not recognize these two poisons, they even specially prepared them several months in advance to make people seem unintentional. He mentioned these two poisons to the two imperial physicians.

They planned to poison the Empress Yonghe to death, plant 'Ningxi' on Concubine Sheng, and completely eliminate Concubine Sheng.

As long as Concubine Sheng is allowed to poison Emperor Yonghe, no matter what Concubine Sheng says, no one will believe her.

From the very beginning, Concubine Sheng and the Sheng family were the scapegoats chosen by the Mu family.

'Sleeping Beauty' is specially prepared for Chong Yi's aftermath.

Mu Shizhong and Mu Guifei didn't plan to plant 'Sleeping Beauty' on Chong Yi immediately, but wanted Chong Yi to ascend the throne first.

According to their assumptions, because of the poisonous mushrooms, the eldest princess would become ill after the death of Emperor Yonghe, and even if she survived for a while, she would be unable to take care of outside affairs.

King Su already had doubts and opinions on Chongyi on the day of Emperor Yonghe's death, and he may not be willing to put Chongyi first in everything like before.

Chong Yi sat on the throne, but would immediately face isolation and helplessness, so he naturally asked Mu for help.

The Mu family changed from the prince's family to the emperor's family, and within a few years they could completely suppress the Song family and the Lu family. At that time, Chong Yi almost had more than one heir.

At this time, in Mu's eyes, the answer to the mystery of 'Sleeping Beauty' will be revealed.

No matter how Chong Yi struggled, he had to abdicate to the little prince after the scandal of "killing his father and succeeding to the throne" spread all over the world.

……

Song Peiyu slapped the rice paper in his hand on the table viciously, his eyes were bloodshot before he knew it.

The Mu family is so ambitious, but they don't know that the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind. Mu's family is the mantis, and there are people waiting to be the oriole.

Song Peiyu was sure that if things really went according to Mu's plan, after Chongyi had to abdicate, he would die suddenly in the shortest possible time.

When Chong Yi dies suddenly, someone new will stand on the moral high ground, produce evidence that can prove Chong Yi's innocence, and use the same method to drive Mu into dust.

'Sleeping Beauty' is a full set carefully designed by M Moser for Chong Yi.

The real and fake 'Sleeping Beauty' is the tomb chosen by Chen Guo for Mrs. Mu.

Song Jinyu sighed, and poured a cup of tea for Song Peiyu himself. He originally planned to reprimand him, but after seeing the ferocious anger in Song Peiyu's eyes, his heart softened, and he said flatly, "How can you be so angry?" ? It can be seen that the temper is getting stronger."

Song Peiyu looked around and made sure that he and Song Jinyu were the only ones in the room, and immediately took the rice paper that had been crumpled by him to Song Jinyu's side.

Tell Song Jinyu exactly what he deduced from the combination of true and false 'Sleeping Beauty' and the confession sent by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Song Peiyu was still angry, speaking in a low and fast manner, people with slower brains could not keep up with his train of thought.

Fortunately, this is Song Jinyu, the person who personally enlightened Song Peiyu, even if what Song Peiyu said was not so detailed, Song Jinyu could also rely on the tacit understanding between each other, and immediately understood Song Peiyu's meaning.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice's confession had just arrived, and Song Jinyu hadn't had time to read it yet.

After listening to Song Peiyu's analysis, Song Jinyu was first surprised by Mu's wolfish ambitions, and then generously said that Mu's ambitions are empty but he doesn't have the wisdom and heart to match. After all, it is impossible to achieve great things.

Seeing Song Peiyu staring angrily at his silence after finishing his speculation, Song Jinyu suddenly remembered what happened a long time ago.

Song Peiyu has been more well-behaved and more worry-free than other children since she was a child, and she will also sue secretly.

It's just that every time Song Peiyu sued, it was not for herself, either for Song Jingming or Song Jingjue.

Most of them found out that there were tricky slaves and side branches bullying Song Jingming and Song Jingjue when they were young, and they wanted to trick Song Jingming and Song Jingjue, or they wanted to take advantage of Song Jingming and Song Jingjue.

At this time, Song Peiyu always looked like this, full of anger, waiting for him to make decisions.

Song Peiyu who looked like this had not been seen for more than ten years.

Thinking of who Song Peiyu was showing this appearance for at this moment, Song Jinyu suddenly felt a little sad.

He and his wife held Jia'er in the palm of their hands and took good care of him, but...

Because of her sadness, Song Jinyu didn't want to talk to Song Peiyu at first, but after all, she couldn't bear Song Peiyu to be so angry, what if she got angry and broke her body.

Song Jinyu patted Song Peiyu's head, "Most likely the 'Sleeping Beauty' in Mu's hand came from Chen State. If the situation is true, I would suggest that His Majesty ask Chu State to break Chen State's connection with the Western Regions."

"Not only to intercept by land, but also by water!" Song Peiyu said immediately.

Song Jinyu laughed, and increased the strength of his hands, messing up Song Peiyu's hairstyle completely, reminding Song Peiyu, "Of course, His Majesty wants to teach Chen Guo a painful lesson, but what you want from Chu State is not what you can do with your Majesty's words."

After all, Zhao State and Chu State are an alliance and an equal relationship.

It's not impossible for Zhao Guo to ask Chu State to help him do something, but he has to pay the price that can make Chu State's heart beat.

Song Peiyu blinked her eyes, and searched for the map in Song Jinyu's cabinet with ease. After wandering around the southern states for a long time, she nodded heavily, "I understand."

The smile on Song Jinyu's face became more real, and even the anger that Song Peiyu stayed in the palace yesterday and did not go home disappeared a lot.

Forget it, if the prince refused to marry a wife and take a concubine at the expense of being beaten and grounded back then, it was for the sake of the raccoon slaves, and he would have no reason to separate the two.

It's just that the relationship between His Majesty and King Su may not be easy.

He remembered that there seemed to be a few ancient books left by the ancestors in the ancestral hall. They were all prescriptions that could make men more powerful and women more likely to conceive.

Song Jinyu's thoughts quickly turned back.

He raised his head reservedly, and said softly, "Your mother and sister-in-law knew the day before yesterday that you also returned to Xianyang with His Royal Highness, and have been worrying about you until now, you..."

Suddenly there was a regular knock on the door, and Eunuch An's old and kind voice came from outside, "The old slave Donggong Anqing, please greet Uncle Yunyang, I wonder if the Song guest is here?"

Song Jinyu watched Song Peiyu's face change immediately, and gritted her teeth fiercely. Before she could speak, Song Peiyu had already strode towards the door to open the door to Mr. An.

Song Peiyu only opened the door and could only pass through the width of one person, "Is there something wrong?"

Eunuch An clung to Song Peiyu's ear and lowered his voice to the lowest, "The Eldest Princess and Huiyang County Lord came to look for His Highness, Huiyang County Lord cried hard, and said that he would trade a secret for Mu He's life."

Song Peiyu subconsciously thought of the civet cat that almost succeeded in replacing the prince, and Mu He's extremely similar facial features to Chong Yi.

He turned his head and waved to Song Jinyu who was still sitting behind the table. He didn't notice that the smile on Song Jinyu's face was getting more and more pervasive, and hurriedly said, "I have something to do in the East Palace, I'll go back first."

After speaking, Song Peiyu didn't give Song Jinyu time to refuse at all, and he couldn't even see his back clearly in a few breaths.

On the contrary, Eunuch An still remembered to say hello to Song Jinyu, and chatted with Song Jinyu for a few words.

After Eunuch An's back also walked away, the smile on Song Jinyu's mouth disappeared instantly, and he looked in the direction of the East Palace with heavy eyes.

He can accept that Song Peiyu is as good as Long Yang, and he doesn't even want to marry a wife and take concubines.

Anyway, the family is flourishing, and Song Peiyu does not have to marry a wife and have children to continue the fireworks.

Song Peiyu's appearance that she has already married herself is trying to piss him off?

Song Peiyu rushed back to the East Palace from Qinzheng Hall, and heard the sound of wailing before entering the warm pavilion.

He paused, let all the palace guards at the door of the Nuan Pavilion leave first, and then opened the door to go in.

Perhaps because of the presence of a girl, Chong Yi did not lean on his favorite reclining chair, but sat on the Kang table neatly dressed, concentrating on playing with the nine chains made of gold and jade in his hand.

The head of Huiyang County was sitting on the grand teacher's chair on the other side of the room. She was the one who made the wailing that Song Peiyu heard before.

Because she was so focused on crying, she didn't even notice that there was another person in the warm pavilion.

The Eldest Princess sat beside Huiyang County Lord, and it was obvious that she wanted to comfort Huiyang County Lord, but her face was blank and her movements were stiff, as if Huiyang County Lord was a fragile glass that could break if she touched it.

Song Peiyu immediately understood that the Eldest Princess was only here with Huiyang County Lord, so she probably didn't know anything, and she didn't expect Huiyang County Lord to cry so heartbroken after coming to the East Palace.

Song Peiyu went directly to sit at the kang table next to Chongyi.

If the reason why Huiyang County Lord wants to exchange Mu He's life with 'secret' is the same as he guessed, then Huiyang County Lord should really vent.

After a long while, the county lord of Huiyang finally sat up with extremely red and swollen eyes, but when he looked at Chong Yi, he broke down immediately and cried again with a low head.

Chong Yi pushed the dim sum in front of Song Peiyu towards Song Peiyu, and said in a low voice, "Have you eaten at Uncle Yunyang?"

Song Peiyu subconsciously covered her stomach.

did not eat

And I didn't feel hungry at first, but after hearing Chong Yi's words, I suddenly became hungry.

But the little girl was crying over there, and it seemed... not appropriate for him to eat snacks here?

After a brief hesitation, Song Peiyu waved his hand to reject Chong Yi's proposal, and said against his will, "I'm not hungry"

Chong Yi shook his head, and with slender and white fingers like beautiful jade, he personally picked up a piece of delicate pastry that looked like blooming flowers and brought it to Song Peiyu's mouth.

Song Peiyu looked at the little girls in embarrassment, and found that the little girls didn't look up at all, so she immediately pushed Chong Yi's hand, and gave Chong Yi a fierce look.

Put it back, what does it look like?

Chong Yi looked at Song Peiyu with a calm expression, but the hand holding the pastry remained motionless, and even sent it to Song Peiyu's mouth, the sweet and soft pastry was directly attached to Song Peiyu's lips.

Song Peiyu really had no choice but to open his mouth and bite the pastry into his mouth immediately, for fear of being discovered by the little girls, he puffed up his cheeks like a little hamster stealing food.

Chong Yi waited until Song Peiyu had finished eating the pastries in his mouth, then went to take another one, which was also directly delivered to Song Peiyu's mouth.

If Song Peiyu refuses, Chong Yi will not argue with Song Peiyu, but the hand holding the pastry will not move away.

Before he knew it, Song Peiyu ate the entire plate of twelve pastries.

Swallowing the last piece of pastry completely, Song Peiyu let out a long sigh of relief, and suddenly found that the crying of the Huiyang county magistrate...had stopped?

An ominous premonition vaguely rose in his heart, and he immediately turned his gaze to the little girls, facing two pairs of big round eyes.
