Empress and Empress

The surname is Cheng, and it should be close to ten.Xia Zimo smiled and said, "What are you looking for with the marshal?" Cheng Mumu was not angry when he heard that this person was not angry, and whispered, "I beg her to save the Cheng family."

Xia Zimo raised his eyebrows, it seems that Xianfei's memorial really played a role in the hands of Emperor He.It's just that they didn't expect the Cheng family to arrive first, not the envoy sent by Emperor He.

Yuan Xingye and Xia Zimo's memorial did not contain anything about Cheng Jing, but Concubine Xian wrote a lot of embellishments. Emperor He was furious when he saw it. cut.

Emperor He has been in power for more than ten years. Although he is not a wise king, he is definitely not a tyrant.Basically, few ministers offended him. In the past, there were ministers who insulted He Di face to face, but they were not questioned.It was rare for the officials to see him so furious. Although one person was out of morals when he defected to the enemy, the whole family should not be punished.

At that time, it was Xia Juzheng who spoke up, which saved the Cheng family. However, Emperor He decreed that the Cheng family should be placed under house arrest first, and quickly asked Yuan Xingye and Xia Zimo. Collaterals were also implicated.

This Cheng Mumu was originally the child of Cheng Jing's father's concubine. Whether it was a daughter or a concubine, she basically had no status in the Cheng family, and her name was not even added to the family tree.The daily life is not much better than that of ordinary maids, so when the Cheng family was under house arrest that day, she was left out.

She didn't dare to stay in Chang'an any longer, after a few inquiries, she knew that Emperor He was going to ask Xia Zimo and Yuan Xingye, so she came to Youzhou ruthlessly.Bought a horse with all my savings.After driving for several nights without sleep, the horse was already foaming at the mouth before reaching Youzhou, so she let it go because she couldn't bear it.Then he came to Youzhou by himself.

After going to the city without eating for a few days and nights, I couldn't bear it anymore. After eating Bawang's meal, I met Yuan Xi.

After telling the story intermittently, Xia Zimo was also a little surprised.She had already thought that Emperor He would just sentence the Cheng family to abolish their official positions, but she didn't expect to be executed.Yuan Xingye was also a little shocked.

"Yuan Xi, take Miss Cheng to rest first." Yuan Xingye said.Upon hearing this, Cheng Mumu raised his head and said, "I---I want to see Yuan Xingye---"

Xia Zimo was helpless, and he admired this girl a little bit, she looked like she was only twelve or thirteen years old.He smiled and said, "Marshal, you have already seen it, but your brother has indeed surrendered to the enemy."

marshal?Cheng Mumu's eyes fell on Yuan Xingye. She overheard her father saying that Yuan Xingye was the daughter of a great general, and she was very beautiful, rare in the world.Even men feel ashamed in front of her.

Climbing over carefully, she cried, "Marshal, please save the Cheng family, please." She cried softly, and tears fell to the ground little by little.

Xia Zimo sighed, "They treat you so ruthlessly, why do you plead for mercy. Let's pretend we didn't see you, don't go back to Chang'an, just find a place to live in peace for the rest of your life!"

Cheng Mumu said, "Although my father doesn't like me, but after all, I have to repay the kindness of raising me. I beg the marshal to save the Cheng family. I will be a cow and a horse to repay the marshal's great kindness."

Yuan Xingye put down the teacup in his hand, and said calmly, "To save your family, I will deceive the emperor, and the crime of deceiving the emperor will be punished by the nine clans. Since your brother has joined the enemy, he must bear the consequences."

Thinking of the dangerous situation Xia Zimo was brought into, Yuan Xingye didn't feel that Emperor He's punishment was too severe. "It's the fault of the son not teaching his father. Cheng Jing defected to the enemy, and your father is also responsible. Yuan Xi---"

"Yes!" Yuan Xi stepped forward to take Cheng Mumu away, but Cheng Mumu refused, fearing that she would make Yuan Xingye angry, so Yuan Xi knocked Cheng Mumu out and took her away.

Xia Zimo shook his head, "She's just a child, you're really not gentle." Even though he said that, there was still a smile in his eyes, and Yuan Xingye laughed.Stretching out his hand to grab Xia Zimo's hair, he said with a faint smile, "Children are mentally retarded. It's useless to ask anyone for such a thing."

Yuan Xingye knew that Xia Zimo had his own plans, so he didn't ask.

At night, Yuan Dong came to the prefect's mansion, and now she planned to send some information about Youzhou to Liang Ming, and then went to see Cui'er.

Since the last time there was a problem with the kitchen, Yuan Xingye gave the kitchen to Concubine Xian, and he cooked the medicine for the wounded in the camp.

As soon as Cui'er came out of the kitchen, she saw Yuan Dong.Yuan Dong was by the rockery at this moment, thinking about how to meet Cui'er for a while, if it was true what Yuan Xi said, she would have to think about what she should do in the future.She doesn't mind liking women, but under the current situation, she doesn't allow herself to think about it.

"Yuan Dong?" Tweety whispered.Yuan Dong turned around, and Tweety's eyes were filled with surprise. "It's really you, why are you here?"

Yuan Dong smiled, "I'm here to deliver something to Mr. Liang. Is your injury healed?"

Tweety nodded quickly, "It's all good, the medicine you sent is very useful. There are still a lot left!" Yuan Dong smiled and said, "That's good, you can keep the rest, it may be useful in the future."

silence---

Yuan Dong looked at the dishes in her hand, "Is Concubine Xian eating so late?" Cui Er shook her head, "A general came, and I passed the dishes on."

Yuan Dong smiled, "Let's go!" Tweety nodded, wanted to say something but left anyway, after a while Tweety came back after delivering the dishes, and found that Yuan Dong had left, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.Come to think of it, Yuan Dong has no reason to wait for her here.

Yuan Dong did not leave the prefect's mansion, but came to the residence of the concubine Xian to eavesdrop.Although Concubine Xian brought a lot of Imperial Guards, but this is the Prefect's Mansion, and there are 30 troops in the city, the Imperial Guards didn't believe there would be any danger at all, so the guards were very lax, and Yuan Dong came to Concubine Xian's residence easily.

Hanging upside down at the door, Yuan Dong watched the movement in the room.

Zhang Duanran is drinking with Concubine Xian. Although Concubine Xian has passed her thirties, she is well maintained, and Zhang Duanran's face is reddened by her elegant attire.

"What General Zhou and General Zhang said, is General Zhang willing?" Concubine Xian asked softly.Zhang Duanran drank a glass of wine and said, "The last general---the last general is just a rough man, how can he be so high on the second lady."

"My sister has liked heroes with great military exploits since she was a child. When I first met the general, I felt that the general and my younger sister were a match made in heaven. How can I talk about it? It's good if others don't think that we are superior to the general." Concubine Xian said.

Yuan Dong watched the two talk, until Zhang Duanran came out from the prefect's mansion, she followed Zhang Duanran back to the barracks.Yuan Dong went to Yuan Xingye's military tent and reported all the news he heard to Xia Zimo.

"Concubine Xian is really daring to ask Zhang Duanran out so blatantly." Xia Zimo said, "It seems that Concubine Li Gui and the others have a taboo against you."

Yuan Xingye said, "It's just mutual use. Concubine Li Gui has long wanted to get rid of me."

Xia Zimo frowned, Concubine Xian is a pawn that can be used very well, but seeing He Di's punishment of Cheng Jing, he knew that He Di was deeply disgusted by the treason.She suddenly had an idea, wonder if He Di hates treason?Or hate dogs?

But maybe that's a good thing -- a good thing.

Yuan Dong said that Zhang Duanran didn't directly agree, but it seemed very interesting.Yuan Xingye waved Yuan Dong out, and then Xia Zimo said, "If Zhang Duanran really married Concubine Xian's younger sister, what are you going to do?"

Yuan Xingye said, "In that case, isn't there a lot of bandits in the southeast? Let him go and suppress the bandits. Those bandits are mobs, and 2 people are enough for him."

Xia Zimo laughed.

When Cheng Mumu woke up, she felt sore all over her body, but she was used to suffering, so she didn't find it too unbearable.

"woke up?"

Cheng Mumu opened her eyes and found that it was the guard of Yuan Xingye she saw during the day, she asked softly, "Where is this place?"

"It's the eunuch's mansion, and Lord Superintendent asked me to take care of you." Yuan Xi said, of course it was not her turn to take care of others, but Xia Zimo was afraid that she would be in danger, so he asked Yuan Xi to stay.

As for the reason for being in the prefect's mansion, ordinary people without military positions in the barracks are not allowed to enter.Of course, Xia Zimo is not afraid that Concubine Xian will find out, after all, the whole Youzhou is under their control, and the news that Concubine Xian gets is just what she wants Concubine Xian to get.

"My name is Yuan Xi, you can call me if you need anything. I will sleep outside." Yuan Xi said.Cheng Mumu held her back and asked, "Will the marshal really refuse to promise me?"

Yuan Xi laughed angrily at her, "If I agree to you, I will risk my beheading. You and the marshal are just strangers, so why should she agree to you? But-"

"But what?" Cheng Mumu asked.Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Xia Jianjun is more gentle and soft-hearted. If you ask, it is better to ask her."

Yuan Xi thought to himself that Xia Zimo might not be under Yuan Xingye if he was talking about cruelty.It seems that this little girl is destined to be used by Xia Zimo to the end.
