The heroine who wears a book is always teasing me

Xu Nuan secretly reached out and took out a small box from the side, put it in his sleeve, and said quietly: "Okay, I will go with you."

A few soldiers stood guard on both sides, Xu Nuan stepped forward and stepped out of the palace gate, the surroundings were silent, it was not like when there were refugees rioting.

Leading the way by the soldiers, Xu Nuan deliberately walked slowly, and almost never met other maids in the palace along the way, not even refugees.

Not to mention meeting the patrolling guards in the palace, it seemed that these soldiers had calculated their timing to avoid these guards.

Seeing that he missed the Empress Dowager's palace and was on the way to the gate of the palace, Xu Nuan was startled, thinking that he was going to be hijacked out of the palace, right?

But I am not a sweet pastry, one or two are rushing to grab it.

If it was Yin Ruoyue's father Yin Zheng last time, could it be him again this time?

Xu Nuan put his hands on his abdomen to pretend to be in pain, took out the weapon in the box, stepped back, stretched out his hand to support the palace wall beside him, and held the weapon in his hand.

"My palace has a sudden illness, I'm afraid you should not go to the queen mother's palace."

Pretending to have a sudden cough, and coughing non-stop, Xu Nuan dodged and came forward to help the soldier, asking: "This is already a long way from the Queen Mother's palace, where are you taking me?"

The soldier at the head had a sudden change of expression and said, "Princess Thief, how can I let you ruin our young master's great event."

Hey?

Xu Nuan hadn't mastered the method of firing the arrow at first, but when he saw the soldier's fierce gaze, he shot two arrows with his hands shaking, which happened to hit the lead soldier's abdomen.

The soldier's face was ferocious, as if he couldn't believe it, blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth, and he fell to the ground.

The few remaining soldiers were astonished, and looked at Xu Nuan. Xu Nuan's back felt cold, and he shrank back, and said:

"There are organs everywhere in the palace, if you don't want to die, why not run for your life as soon as possible."

It was pure luck just now, but now there are four or five people, Xu Nuan can't guarantee that he will still have the same luck.

A soldier on the right suddenly stepped forward and said: "Brothers, this is an order from the young master, how can you be greedy for life and afraid of death."

The soldier drew his saber and stepped forward, intending to wave it towards Xu Nuan, but seeing that it was only a few steps away, Xu Nuan couldn't outrun the strong man, so he had to press the button of the quiver hidden in his hand several times.

Fortunately, this soldier was a living target because he was so close. He was hit by two arrows in front of his chest, which sank in half, and the blood seeped into his armor along the wound.

"You have a hidden weapon..." the soldier murmured as he fell to the ground, opened his eyes and died.

Most of the remaining people were running errands, and they all ran away after seeing this tragic situation.

Seeing that they were about to leave at the corner, they suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, Xu Nuan thought they might have encountered refugees?

Fortunately, Zhou Xia led the soldiers to rush over, and Xu Nuan was relieved.

Returning to Yuzhao Palace, Zhou Xia thoroughly searched the corners of the palace and released the maid who was locked up in the side hall. It was nearly dusk after the mess was cleared up.

Xu Nuan was holding the teacup in his hand and his head was still a little messy. When the door of the hall was pushed open, Zhou Xia stepped into the hall and saluted and said:

"About midnight, a wave of refugees invaded the capital. If an internal response opened the Nangong Gate, they rushed into the palace. Right now, all the refugees have been killed and arrested. The internal response is being tracked down. Is the princess safe?"

"I'm fine, thank you General Zhou for your concern." Xu Nuan took a sip of tea and asked, "Why was the refugee issue not completely resolved?"

So much so that the resentment in the hearts of the refugees is endless, and now a large number of them are gathering outside the capital to cause chaos, and some of them even broke into the palace. Such a detailed and comprehensive plan, if it is not for someone with a heart, it is absolutely impossible to achieve this level.

Recalling the young master's order that the soldier said just now, young master?

Could it be Hua Mo, the prince of the old capital?

"King Fu was in charge of the safety of the capital at the beginning, and he refused to report to the court, which caused violence/chaos, and the capital was besieged and impenetrable. Although the imperial court forcibly sent troops to suppress it, it was finally thanks to the female official Yin who called on the merchants in the capital to open warehouses to release grain. Anxiety of unrest."

Holding the long sword in his hand, Zhou Xia sighed and said, "But the cost of harvesting grain at the end of autumn last year was low, and now the snow has not melted in mid-February, and even ordinary wild vegetables are hard to find, and the princes of all places don't open warehouses to donate grain. The refugees mourned and complained and had to rush to the capital."

"How can the capital accommodate these nearly [-] refugees? There were several times of turmoil during which the female official Yin was demoted back to Zhaozhou. Yin Zheng held the power of defeating the government and refused to accept it. This pushed the refugees' emotions to the brink of collapse. "

After hearing this, Xu Nuan only felt very angry. No wonder Fu Wang's party was beheaded to show the public.

"Zhou Xia, the business of my shop is not bad, you can take this token to withdraw money."

Xu Nuan got up and walked to the desk, opened a box, and took out the triangle token that she specially made for Zhou Xia.

"Remember that refugees must not enter the capital, otherwise it is not a riot, but a rebellion."

Zhou Xia looked at the token in his hand, looked at Xu Nuan in surprise, and said respectfully, "Thank you, princess."

"Refugees are important. I have one more thing to tell you. There may be rebels among the refugees. You must handle this matter properly. It is best to send more troops to prevent unrest."

Xu Nuan finished speaking in one breath, Zhou Xia was also very strange when he heard it, and just nodded in response:

"The princess is really thoughtful, I admire you."

"General Xiao Zhou is polite, please remember to communicate with me more about the refugees."

Although caught off guard by being praised, Xu Nuan didn't have time to be happy. Seeing Zhou Xia leave the hall, she immediately went to the desk, studied ink, and picked up a pen to explain the situation in the capital to Yin Ruoyue.

It stands to reason that the turmoil should have occurred when the emperor was seriously ill, but the turmoil has already started now, which means that the court is about to be in turmoil.

The dispute between princes and princes, refugees who are thousands of miles away from the capital, unexpectedly appear at this critical moment, so we have to be careful.

The male lead, Hua Mo, is not an easy-going lamp either. He clearly understands the situation of the government and the public, that's why the refugees are like a dagger, piercing into the royal family from time to time.

Even if the royal family is not destroyed, the royal family who are busy fighting for the throne will be torn apart, and he can destroy them one by one.

Seeing the carrier pigeon fly away from the palace wall of Yuzhao Palace, Xu Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, nestled on the bed, and the tight strings in his head loosened.

Xu Nuan had never been so tired before, as if he had just escaped from the wolf's den and was about to fall into the tiger's den.

Unexpectedly, a low-grade fever started at night. Xu Nuan could still hear the voices of the palace maids at first, but her head seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

The minor illness was half-cured and half-delayed until the beginning of March, but there were still many problems with the refugee situation.

Either the donated porridge was secretly poisoned, or something unclean was put in. The gift of food was a good thing, but it was said to be a bad thing in the end.

Zhou Xia sent troops to forcefully suppress it several times. Although it was effective, many refugees still came to make trouble. If they were arrested indiscriminately, it would be another disturbance.

Xu Nuan had no choice but to suggest that Zhou Xia first send some soldiers to sneak into the refugees to find out who is secretly instigating the refugees.

But the longer the days dragged on, the people in the capital gradually became uneasy. The city gates that were originally closed to prevent refugees from being killed, but the people in the capital began clamoring to go out of the city to seek refuge.

One thing happened after another, but most of the people in the capital are the sons of nobles, and at worst there are still a large number of merchants. The court ministers panicked, and their official family members also panicked.

Most of the ministers in the court have good relations with Yin Zheng, but the matter has continued to this day. Obviously, Yin Zheng has never stopped it, and his intentions are really confusing.

It was rare that the weather was getting warmer day by day, so Xu Nuan asked someone to move a recliner chair and put it in the courtyard, and sat in it alone, basking in the sun to keep warm.

When Zhou Xia arrived, Xu Nuan was flipping through the account books, and the maids avoided appropriately.

"As expected by the princess, there is indeed a group of people secretly manipulating the refugees. They call the leader the young master."

Xu Nuan closed the account book, sat up, and said to Zhou Xia after tea, "Sit down and talk slowly."

Zhou Xia sat aside with a little hesitation, took Xu Nuan's tea, and asked hesitantly: "The princess doesn't seem to be surprised at all."

amount……

After being told this, Xu Nuan also felt that she was too calm, so it was a little unclear.

"Of course I was surprised. It's just that I was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say."

Zhou Xia nodded in response: "That's the case, I thought that Lady Yin had already informed the princess."

Xu Nuan took a small sip of tea, and when she heard Zhou Xia mentioning Yin Ruoyue, she asked curiously, "How do you know that I have a connection with Yin Ruoyue?"

"Before leaving the capital, Lady Yin told Weichen specifically about the princess."

specially?

Listening to this word, Xu Nuan always felt that if Yin Ruoyue said it on purpose, it would definitely be a lie that distorted the facts, and Zhou Xia would probably believe it completely.

Being careful, Xu Nuan still wanted to ask Yin Ruoyue if there was anything she wanted to say to Zhou Xia.

"Then what did she tell you?" Xu Nuan leaned closer and asked with tea in her hand.

However, Zhou Xia's face turned slightly red, avoiding Xu Nuan's probing eyes, and replied falteringly:

"Miss Yin said that she and the princess have made a private decision for life. Whenever I come to Yuzhao Palace to look for the princess, I must keep a proper distance."

Private life?

Xu Nuan's face would turn red very quickly, but she didn't know whether it was anger or embarrassment, how could Yin Ruoyue tell outsiders like this.

"Princess?" Seeing Xu Nuan's expression was wrong, Zhou Xia asked.

Only then did Xu Nuan come back to his senses, stretched out his hand to touch his hot face and said, "Don't worry about me, just talk about yourself."

"Ms. Yin also said that most of the maids in Yuzhao Palace were sent by her, and told me to be careful."

This is too much!

But Zhou Xia had a calm face, and Xu Nuan couldn't get angry because the person involved was not angry after all.

"Aren't you angry with Yin Ruoyue's threats?"

Zhou Xia shook her head and said: "Ms. Yin is a person who does good deeds for the common people, and she is also a person who cares about the princess's reputation. I am ashamed of myself."

Xu Nuan looked at Zhou Xia in surprise and said, "She likes to tease people the most on weekdays. You have a good temper, so don't be bullied by her."

"Princess, does the princess know how the officials evaluate the female official Yin?"

"Go ahead."

Zhou Xia put down the teacup and said: "Miss Yin usually does not communicate with officials, she is mostly silent, but she can speak eloquently in the court without being surprised by the emperor's grace, and she acts decisively and simply, not inferior to her father at all."

"But Mrs. Yin treats the princess very unusually. The marriage between the princess and the minister is known all over the world, but Mrs. Yin still cares about the safety of the princess even though she is far away in Zhaozhou."

Although I know that Yin Ruoyue's temperament is described in the book as deep and stable, she is mostly silent on weekdays, perhaps because Yin Ruoyue mostly flirts with her words on weekdays, so she also ignores that Yin Ruoyue is not a person who flirts easily.

But only to herself, Yin Ruoyue showed her heart again and again.
