It is said that when Zijuan brought medicine into the room, it was just when Daiyu was resting to catch up on sleep, and she didn't dare to disturb her. Because Xueyan was squatting on the corridor doing needlework, she came up and asked her, "Miss, are you still awake today?"

Xueyan blinked slightly, and smiled with her: "The prince has been here for a while, the girl is sore and tired, she just fell asleep, sister sit here for a while."

While talking, she gave up a piece for Zicuckoo to sit on, but she was worried, and stared at the bamboo for a while in a daze.Seeing her like this, Xueyan asked suspiciously: "Sister, what's on your mind, or tell me, at least you can make arrangements. If you are bored in your heart, it will be even more difficult."

Because Xueyan was young, Zijuan didn't expect her to understand, but she still sighed and told the whole story.Xueyan listened, quickly put down the needle, and said eagerly: "Sister, why are you confused? We are girls who are married as dowries. Although we are sincere for the sake of the girl, it's not our turn to say anything. Any extra words are just excuses." , no wonder the prince is angry."

Zijuan has always been very fond of Daiyu, but suddenly being mentioned by Xueyan, she couldn't help but blushed, and retorted in a low voice: "I'm not just chewing maggots for nothing, of course the palace is considered a good family, the most rare thing is the prince's temper. The nature is peaceful, and there is no such thing as ordinary princes and grandsons who pity the new and abandon the old. However, our girl has no parents and brothers, and the Jia family is down and down again. It is no more powerful than other natal families. Now the prince is getting bigger and bigger. These three or four It's a good year, but in two years, there will be no son. Even if the prince doesn't marry himself, it's hard to guarantee that someone else will have three bedrooms and five concubines. gone?"

Xueyan was even more surprised, looked back, and then asked: "Then according to what my sister means, our girl will fight with others in the future? That really ruins the character of a fairy."

Zijuan couldn't help but also sighed, pulled her and said: "It's good for the prince to be like this, at least he is sincere to the girl, and loves the little princess, but there is no son who is not strong in the end. Look at the old sister Feng, A person like an overlord, she has suffered this kind of loss, she still has the Wang family to rely on, and later got a brother through untold hardships, otherwise she would just be neglected and bullied by others."

Seeing Xueyan wiping her tears, Zijuan wiped it for her again, and said: "Grandma, let's just discuss these things in private, don't bring them to the girl, lest you get overwhelmed, and you have to worry about it." Come on, pay attention to what you eat and drink on weekdays, and ask more questions." Xueyan hurriedly responded, and the two chatted a little more, waiting for Daiyu to wake up.

After waiting for a long time, I saw a sound coming from the back room, and Zijuan hurried in to serve Daiyu to take medicine.Daiyu had just taken a sip, she might as well think of something, her face blushed, she said to herself, "I don't know if this medicine is effective or not?"

Zijuan saw that she was preoccupied with it, and remembered Shui Lan who had changed his behavior just now.

Let's say that Shui Lan was busy with official duties at this time. After the night was quiet, he returned to his house and sat alone under the lamp. He thought of Daiyu and the day's affairs for a while, and stayed there for a long time. He didn't know how to speak.

While in a trance, Qiuwan brought a cup of red ginseng soup and bird's nest porridge, and said with a smile: "My concubine still has the foresight, and she expected the prince to work all night long, so I ordered the kitchen to prepare it earlier, and the prince please use it."

Shui Lan didn't answer, and silently scooped and ate.Qiu Wan had a delicate mind and followed Shui Lan for a long time. Seeing this situation, she knew that he had other things on her mind, so she stood beside him silently.

After a pause, Shui Lan put down the cup and bowl, and suddenly asked Qiu Wan quietly: "Do you know that the princess is taking medicine in private?"

Qiu Wan was naturally confused, so Shui Lan relayed what Zicuckoo had said in the morning, and finally sighed with a frown: "You know the situation of Madam's delivery, and you heard what Li Taiyi said that day. If you are the princess, you will Will you blame me for not telling the truth?"

When Qiu Wan heard about it, she was really surprised, and quickly tried to persuade her: "The prince is considerate of the princess. The princess is weak in body and has a strong heart. She managed to take care of herself. If she knew the truth, she might become sad and depressed. Getting sick is even worse."

Hearing this, Shui Lan answered in a gloomy voice: "Mr. Lin used to have nothing under his knees, and he got a girl to be raised as a man when he was over forty. I thought that after a long time, she will gradually get better, and I will find a girl soon." The adopted son is in the name, but no matter what, sadness is inevitable, and I can bear it when I get older."

Thinking of the deep love between the two of them, but there is such a regret in the end, Qiu Wan couldn't help but feel sad, and reluctantly agreed: "The prince's concerns are reasonable, and the princess will definitely understand this painstaking effort. I watched with cold eyes, the princess's love for the prince I'm really crazy, I still send people to ask for letters a few times before going to bed, or wait for an opportunity to let the wind out first, it's good to have some preparations."

Shui Lan didn't answer, she stared at the candlelight for a long time, and didn't pay attention when Qiu Wan left. Although she didn't say a word, she felt sad in her heart.

Because Shui Lan is currently in charge of military affairs, he personally appointed Li Gui as General Zhengxi, and he was paired with two capable generals to appease the rest of the rebels. Give it a head-on blow.

In the blink of an eye, winter came, and the Xining army was firmly guarding Binzhou. Binzhou is the junction of Shaanxi and Gansu. The fierce generals, grain, grass, and firearms went crazy and took turns to attack at any cost.

When the two armies were at a stalemate, Huo Fan was wondering why Li Gui changed his strategy to attack by force. Dugurong, the general of Sichuan, led his troops from the border of Hanzhong Prefecture. Because of the previous defense against Li Gui's troops, the rebels had already lost all their troops to Bin. State, was really caught off guard by this raid.

Not only that, Dugu Rong tried his best to travel lightly, and went straight for hundreds of miles to kill the leader of the Hanzhong rebel army. The luggage was then transported from Sichuan to push Fengxiang and Qianzhou.In a panic, Huo Fan knew that he had hit the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, but he had already been attacked by the enemy, so he had to hold on and wait for reinforcements to rescue him.

Unexpectedly, what was waiting was the sad news that the king of Xining County died of illness on the road. At this point, the rebel army's morale was loose. Li Gui and Dugu Rong took the opportunity to attack from both sides. , Huo Fan was defeated and committed suicide, Prince Su Shuizawa retreated into Gansu Province, and the rebel army was at the end of its strength.

At the end of the tenth year of Yongqing, Wang Tingjun besieged Pingliang, Shuize was beheaded by Dugurong, and the rest were all captured. The Xiping Rebellion that lasted for more than four years finally collapsed.

When the good news came, everyone inside and outside the court rejoiced.Only Shuilan and the ministers at the Prime Minister's Office discussed that after Gansu and Shaanxi provinces were flattened, they were devastated and the people suffered.

Here Shui Lan came into the palace to see Emperor Yongqing, and saw him lying on the couch, although his face was still pale, he was refreshed anyway, Shui Lan asked him: "Is Your Majesty feeling better?"

Emperor Yongqing was very happy to see Shui Lan coming, and promised: "It's better, Uncle Huang, come and sit down." Then, he ordered someone to carry another small scorpion, and wanted to lean up and talk to him.

Seeing this, Shui Lan hurriedly helped him to sleep, looked at it for a while and smiled and said: "It looks great. Forgive me for talking too much. Since your majesty has recovered from the dragon's body, he should return to the court earlier. He always asks the minister to lead the prime minister to handle the matter." , out of order."

After going through a circle of ghost gates, Emperor Yongqing just woke up like a dream. He knew that many things were caused by the king of Beijing, and he complained about Shuilan. Uncle Huang's work is safe, that is, the king of Beijing Jing had better keep his own place, I know that he has made many obstacles behind his back, and if he is so careless, he will wait for the opportunity to get out sooner or later."

Shui Lan just smiled and didn't care, suddenly a eunuch came back and said: "The imperial concubine sent someone to pay her respects. There is a table of vegetarian food in the Yonghe Palace. Can your majesty honor the dinner?"

Shui Lan took a sip of tea and asked, "When did Your Majesty become a vegetarian?"

Emperor Yongqing seemed a little embarrassed, and sighed to Shuilan: "Concubine Zhen is a Buddhist, and I occasionally read two Buddhist scriptures with her when she was alone. Look, Piangu sees that the words are excellent, and it has a different meaning when you read it."

There is another reason that the emperor didn't say, and Shui Lan could probably be considerate.According to the eunuch who served Emperor Yongqing personally, since the emperor, empress, and two princes passed away one after another, His Majesty often lost sleep at night, and could not sleep for seven or eight nights out of ten, so he found a sustenance to comfort him.

Shui Lan's heart suddenly moved, and she smiled slightly: "What's the problem? If Your Majesty likes it, why don't you ask Chu Chen to search carefully, and then order to build a small homely stage, where you can sing and listen to your Majesty's favorite songs. entertainment."

Emperor Yongqing liked it very much, he really ordered a troupe of operas to be sung with good rhetoric, accompanied by concubine Zhen Guifei who read and commented. I don't know.

Chu Chen accepted the order to search the scriptures, and was stunned for a long time, because he asked Shui Lan: "Which one is singing, Your Majesty, I beg the prince to express it."

Shui Lan said with a mysterious smile: "Don't ask, you will understand in the future."
