The Unparalleled Warrior of the Dream of the Red Chamber

"My lord, the palace has sent the lady in bed sent by the empress." Wu An, Shui Ling's personal eunuch, replied cautiously. My heart is relieved.

"Lead her to the Dongyue Pavilion in the backyard, and don't allow her to move around without my king's order." Shui Ling gave the order indifferently, as if the person who came had nothing to do with her.

"Yes, my lord, although the lady serving the bed was sent by the empress, she is someone close to the empress, and she has served the lord before. My lord, please meet me." Wu An just got a new arrival. The favor given by Xiuyi, the female servant in the bedroom, is naturally to say a few words for Xiuyi.

"Huh? Is it Xiuyi or Xiulin?" Shui Ling turned around and looked at Wu An coldly and asked.

"Back to the lord, it's Miss Xiuyi." Wu An didn't dare to look up at his master, for fear of being frozen by his icy eyes, so he just lowered his head to report back.

"Oh, it's Xiuyi, then don't lock her up, let her live in Dongyue Pavilion, as long as she doesn't leave the backyard, she can move freely." After Shui Ling finished giving orders, Wu An still stood still, Shui Ling said in a low voice. Said: "I'm not going yet." Wu An hurriedly retreated, and went to settle Xiuyi by himself. Fortunately, Xiuyi was sent, and her heart was all on Shui Ling, even if she was slighted, she would not Any comments.Otherwise, if you change someone else, you will definitely not follow.

"You actually sent Xiuyi here, could it be that she is secretly the Queen's?" Shui Ling couldn't help feeling suspicious.Since he opened the mansion, he has always been wary of the emperor, the empress and the prince sending people to sneak into his palace to inquire about news. Xiuyi who served her when she was a child.

Wu An led Xiuyi to Dongyue Pavilion, and said with a flattering smile: "Congratulations to Lady Xiuyi, as long as you serve the prince and conceive before the concubine enters the door, you will be the first concubine. I was also happy to see Wang Ye's expression just now."

Xiuyi knew that Wu An was the only one who could speak in front of Shui Ling, so she smiled affectionately: "Wu An, you have been serving the lord all these years, it's really hard work, now I can share your worries and help you You serve the lord because I cultivated it in my previous life, as long as I can serve the lord, it doesn't matter if I have a title or not."

Wu An said with a smile: "This is also Miss Xiuyi's infatuation. The prince has been resting alone all these years, and has never hired anyone to serve him. Miss Xiuyi, the burden on you is not light."

Xiuyi blushed and said in a low voice: "The lord is going to get married in more than 20 days. Eunuch Wu, Empress Empress and Concubine Shu have all given orders. I must do my duty before then, so as not to be let down." The prince can't enjoy himself to his heart's content during his big wedding."

Wu An said with a smile: "Ms. Xiuyi is not in a hurry, you should rest first, and when the prince is in a better mood, I will definitely speak for you."

Xiuyi thought for a while before she said: "Eunuch Wu, I am new to the palace, so I should obey orders for everything, but Concubine Shu had a few instructions before I came, but she had to tell the lord quickly."

Wu An nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go back to the prince, but Miss Xiuyi, you also know the prince's temperament, I can't guarantee whether I will see you or not."

Xiuyi smiled and stuffed a round pearl into Wu An's hand, Wu An pretended to refuse, Xiuyi blocked his hand and said with a smile: "Eunuch Wu, I need you to take care of me in the future."

But all eunuchs are greedy for money, Wu An tried to feel that the pearl in his hand was about the size of a lotus seed, it was very valuable, so he grinned and said: "Ms.

Shui Ling heard that Xiu Yi had something to say, so she went to Dongyue Pavilion with a cold face. He asked Wu An to stay outside, and entered the room alone.As soon as Xiuyi saw Shui Ling, she knelt down softly, and said softly: "My servant, please greet the lord."

Shui Ling sat on the main seat, and said coldly: "Is there any message for you to convey?"

Xiuyi walked a few steps on her knees, getting closer to Shui Ling, raised her head slightly, presented her carefully made up face in front of Shui Ling, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the fire was set by the servant."

Shui Ling was startled slightly, she shot Xiu Yi coldly, and said in a low voice, "What did you say?"

Xiuyi smiled brightly and said: "My lord, the slaves set a big fire in the palace, and killed County Lord Lin, oh no, she should be called Princess Lin now. I really didn't expect that fire to complete her, but let her She was promoted. The empress said that the prince wanted Princess Lin to leave the palace within three days, and the servants followed the prince's wishes and forced Princess Lin out of the palace. Now the empress is living in the Qianqing Palace, and Princess Lin only I'm afraid I won't be able to live in the palace for a long time."

Shui Ling leaned over and stretched out her hand to pinch Xiu Yi's neck, and said in a dark voice: "What nonsense are you talking about, when will I ask you to do such a thing?" Xiu Yi bravely put her hand gently on Shui Ling's cold veins On the back of his hand, he reluctantly said: "The servant girl is sincere to the prince, and heaven and man can learn from each other. As long as it is what the prince wants, the servant girl will go to the knife mountain and go down the oil pan, and I will get it for the prince. The life of the servant girl belongs to the prince." , the prince wants the servant to die, the servant will never frown."

Xiuyi has always had feelings for him, Shui Ling knew it very well, in fact just now he heard that the maid sent by the queen was Xiuyi, and he felt a little relieved.But Shui Ling is a very suspicious person, he will not trust anyone easily.Shouling let go of her hand, pulled out the dagger inserted in the boot with a swipe and threw it in front of Xiuyi who was panting heavily, and said coldly: "This king wants you to commit suicide now, are you willing?"

Sure enough, without the slightest hesitation, Xiuyi grabbed the dagger and said, "My lord, this servant is willing. It's just that this servant, as the maidservant sent by the empress, will implicate the prince if she dies suddenly. Please let the servant write down the suicide note and then do it again." Suicide, so that the prince will not be affected."

Shuiliang swept the pen and paper on the table to the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Write."

Xiuyi thought about it for a while, and really wrote a suicide note, saying that she didn't want to serve, but was willing to die.After finishing, Xiuyi handed over the suicide note with both hands, Shui Ling put the suicide note on the table after reading it, and said coldly: "You can commit suicide."

Xiuyi took a deep look at Shui Ling, as if she wanted to engrave Shui Ling on her heart, then closed her eyes and raised the dagger to stab fiercely at her heart.The moment the dagger pierced through the brand-new pink satin pin, Xiuyi's wrist was firmly grasped. She opened her eyes and saw an unprecedentedly shallow smile on Shui Ling's face. He took the dagger out of his hand, and for the first time did not say coldly: "Okay, I know you are loyal to me, I will not want you to die, get up."

Being swayed by Shui Ling, Xiu Yi didn't blame Shui Ling at all, instead she wept with joy: "My lord, you are willing to trust this servant." Shui Ling pulled Xiu Yi up, pulled her to the table and sat down, nodded and said: "I still remember that when I was a child, I was punished for not being able to recite books. You secretly gave me sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Did you give it yourself or did your mother arrange it?"

Xiuyi recalled what happened at that time, a sweet smile floated on her cheeks, she said softly: "I am afraid that the prince will starve to death."

Shui Ling nodded and said: "I'm not wrong in guessing, as expected, you secretly delivered it yourself. Later, the concubine mother punished you not to eat for a day, but it was also because of this?"

Xiuyi lowered her head and said: "The sweet-scented osmanthus cake was originally made by the empress herself to present to the emperor. She presumably wanted to intercede for you, but it was stolen by the servants. The empress should punish the servants."

Shui Ling snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "She is fighting for favor. When I was young, I was punished and bullied. That time she stood up for me and always forced me to make amends and kowtow to that one. She only has status in her heart." , without me at all."

Xiuyi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is suffering in her heart. They all say that a child is more valuable than a mother. You see that the Queen's sons are all very favored, and your Majesty has worked hard for so many years, and she is only after you were crowned king." To be conferred the title of concubine Shu, at that time the empress was just a noble person, and she had no power to do so."

Shui Ling pressed her hand and said: "Xiuyi, you don't need to speak well of her. Now that you have entered my palace, you are loyal to me. As long as you are obedient, I will not treat you badly. Son, I will give you the position, even the power of a housekeeper.

Even if Princess An Ning marries in, you don't have to pay attention to her and be angry with her.But there is one thing, don't try to get my heart, my heart, no one will give it to you. "

Xiuyi said softly: "My servant obeys the lord's orders. As long as I can have a place beside the lord, my servant will be satisfied, and I don't dare to think anything wrong."

Shui Ling nodded in satisfaction and said, "This is the best."

Shui Ling may have been cold for too long, he was not used to such warm conversations, he stood up and wanted to leave, Xiuyi knelt down submissively and said softly: "This servant will take the prince off, when the prince is free, the slave will definitely serve the prince well."

Shui Ling's footsteps faltered, she didn't turn her head, she just said coldly: "This king knows it well." After speaking, he strode away.Staring obsessively at Shui Ling's back, Xiu Yi's eyes were blurred, she caressed her neck that was strangled by Shui Ling just now, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty..." Xiu Yi didn't stand up until she could no longer see Shui Ling's back. , walked to the table, folded the suicide note he had just written, and carefully put it in his purse.

Wu An saw Shui Ling striding out of Dongyue Pavilion with a slight redness on his face, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, he has served Shui Leng for six years, this is the first time he has seen Shui Ling look like this expression.

Shui Ling felt the strange look in Wu An's eyes, and said coldly, "What are you looking at?"

Wu An hurriedly lowered his head and said, "It's nothing, my lord, it's time for dinner. Are you resting at Dongyue Pavilion tonight?"

Shui Lingbo said angrily: "Where is this king asking you to talk too much, and you still don't pass on the food."

Wu An backed out, turned the corner and ran towards the dining room.

Shui Lingxin walked towards the pigeon loft, and as soon as he entered the pigeon loft, he saw a gray carrier pigeon flying towards him. He grabbed the pigeon and took off the small brass tube on the pigeon's leg, poured out the note inside, and unfolded it, Shui Lingxin hated it. Said: "Useless stuff!" The gray pigeon was sent back by Chen Guanshi who had escaped, intending to report to Shui Ling that Chengxi Dark Makeup was picked by Eunuch Feng.

Throwing the small note into the charcoal box and burning it, Shui Ling sat in a dark corner and thought for a while, then said to herself: "My king's plan needs to be revised." She went to the table and took out the cut one. Shui Ling wrote several small notes, rolled them up and put them in the copper tube, sealed them with wax, and then walked around the pigeon loft to open the hidden door in the wall. Shui Ling stretched out her arms and flew away. A few gray-black goshawks landed on his arms, Shui Ling went back to the table, tied the copper pipes to the goshawks' legs respectively, and he randomly grabbed a few pigeons from the dovecote and threw them to the goshawks. Goshawks, several goshawks flew in different directions in the night after a feast.

Shui Ling sat in the dark corner for a while before leaving the pigeon coop. He locked the three doors, put an iron mesh cage next to the gate of the yard, and opened the door of the iron mesh cage. Then the snake swam out and coiled itself on the corridor facing the gate, spitting out strange bright red letters. The heads of these two snakes were both triangular in shape, and there was a hematoma the size of a lotus seed on the top of each snake's head. It's extremely scary.After everything was arranged, Shui Ling returned to her main room in the backyard.

Wu An had already arranged the dinner, Xiuyi also came out of Dongyue Pavilion, stood in the yard outside the main room, waiting for Shui Ling to come back to serve him dinner.

Shui Ling saw Xiu Yi standing in the courtyard, the cold wind blew past, and Xiu Yi's thin shoulders trembled unconsciously.Shui Ling stepped forward and said coldly: "What are you sitting here?"

When Xiuyi saw Shui Ling came back, she quickly put on a smile and said: "The servant girl came to serve the prince's meal. The prince didn't come back, so the servant girl came out to meet him." Xiuyi opened the thick cotton door curtain as she spoke, and said with a gentle smile: "The prince Please come in."

Shui Ling has a cold temper, and on weekdays he doesn't want anyone to wait on him except Wu An. Although Wu An's serving is thoughtful, he is not as considerate as Xiu Yi. Shui Ling nodded and walked in.Xiu Yi hurriedly followed in, Wu An bowed and said, "Please eat, my lord."

Shui Ling walked to the table, and was waiting for Wu An to hand over the silver-wrapped ivory chopsticks to her hand, but Xiu Yi walked over with a silver basin, half kneeling and said softly, "Please wash your hands, my lord."

Shui Ling cleaned her hands expressionlessly, Xiuyi took the handkerchief and wiped the water carefully, then took the silver-clad ivory chopsticks from Wu An's hand and sent them to Shui Ling. Used this meal.After drinking the tea, Shui Ling said coldly: "Xiu Yi, I will reward you for the rest."

Xiuyi was pleasantly surprised, she quickly knelt down to thank her, she really regarded Shui Ling as the emperor.Xiuyi served Shui Ling with tea again, and then retreated to use Shui Ling to eat the rest of the dishes.She quickly finished eating, and after freshening up, she hurriedly came outside Shui Ling's room, and whispered softly: "Your servant will wash your feet for the lord."

Shui Ling was reading a book, frowned when she heard Xiu Yi's words, and said coldly: "No need, you can go back."

Seeing that Shui Ling didn't want to serve her by herself, Xiu Yi felt uncomfortable, but she still said submissively: "Yes, please take care of your health and rest early, and this servant will leave." Back to Dongyue Pavilion, Xiu Yi took off her hairpin, Looking at the red candle on the table, she sighed softly. As a maid serving the bed, she slept alone the first night in the palace, and she always felt uncomfortable.

The Qianqing Palace was brightly lit in the night, and Shui Chi recounted in detail what had happened in the Lin family in the afternoon. The emperor's expression darkened when he heard it. Enter the palace to thank you, let her stay in the palace, and seeing her in front of my eyes, I can let go of my hanging heart."

Shui Rong hurriedly bowed and said: "Auntie, this is not acceptable, Kunning Palace has not been repaired yet, and Yu'er can't live in Qianqing Palace, so Yu'er will definitely attract criticism."

The queen glared at Shui Rong and said: "There's nothing wrong with it, the emperor issued an order to see who dares to make irresponsible remarks."

Shui Chi hurriedly said to his mother that Erchen had persuaded Yu'er to follow Erchen into the palace when Erchen was in the Lin family just now, but she definitely refused. The queen sighed and said, "This kid is also stubborn."If she is absolutely unwilling, then she can only send more people to protect her. "

The emperor pondered and said: "According to Ah Jiu's confession, they wanted to take Yu'er away, not kill Yu'er, which is strange. Although Yu'er has won our hearts, she is just a little girl. She has neither soldiers nor power in her hands, who will arrest her for what?" Shui Rong said roughly: "Your Majesty, could it be the Dongping Prince's Mansion, Princess Anning once wanted to humiliate Yu'er, but Yu'er pushed her back. After suffering a loss, Princess Dongping once blocked Yu'er's way, and Yu'er made her hit a soft nail. In addition... Princess An Ning wanted to be the princess. Seeing that Yu'er was getting close to the prince, she would Won't you just bear a grudge against Shang Yu'er?"

Shui Chi said in a hurry: "I don't know if it's not your Shen Jingru. Everyone in the capital knows that Shen Jingru has sworn to win the title of Prince Concubine of Beijing. You and Yu'er are also very close, so Shen Jingru It is also possible to hate Yu'er."

The emperor frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "Okay, you two don't argue, use your brains to think about it, whether it is the Minister of Rites or the Dongping Palace, do they have the ability to support many dead men?"

Shui Chi Shui Rong bowed their heads in shame, as long as Daiyu was involved, the two of them would lose their usual calmness.After thinking for a while, Shui Chi raised his head and said: "Father, if you say that you have the financial resources to support the dead, there are not many houses in the capital. Zhongshun Prince's Mansion, Xining Prince's Mansion, Nan'an Prince's Mansion, and the Third Emperor's Brother's Mansion are just a few. But if there is a grudge, I can't think of what kind of enmity Yu'er can have with them, and even want to use the dead to kidnap her."

The queen wondered: "If you want to take Yu'er away instead of killing Yu'er, could it be that someone has taken a fancy to Yu'er, and obviously they can't compete with the royal family, so they secretly plotted against it?"

Shui Rong hurriedly counted on his fingers: "Junjun Wang is about to get married in about 16 days, and he is busy with the big wedding. Does he still have the intention to kidnap Yu'er? From the past, Junjun Jian Zhou Sheng, the eldest son of Prince Zhongshun’s mansion, is [-] years old this year, but he has never seen Princess Zhongshun get married for him. His nephew is also familiar with Zhou Sheng. He is not the kind of womanizer, Nan’an The eldest son of the palace has been married for a long time, and he has a very good relationship with the imperial concubine, so he shouldn't be the one who makes Yu'er's idea. The two princesses of the Xining palace are married. He has more than ten concubines, and I heard that he took in another concubine a few days ago, so he wouldn't know it either!"

With a thought in his mind, Shui Chi quickly asked: "Father, Empress, did you have any enemies in the early years?"

The emperor nodded and said in a deep voice, "You, Mr. Lin, are in charge of the Jiangnan salt administration, so you have certainly offended many people."

Shui Chi hurriedly said: "Father, I'm going to check the files of previous years. As long as it was handled by the master, I will read it carefully." Shui Rong also said quickly: "Cousin, I will check it with you. .”

But the queen shook her head and said: "I don't need it according to my opinion. If it was seeking revenge, I would have done it long ago. Why wait until now, now that Yu'er is a holy family, whoever wants to touch Yu'er must weigh his own weight first." , who dares to fight against the royal family?"

Shui Chi said anxiously: "This is neither that nor that, who could it be?"

The queen smiled and said: "Yu'er is the smartest, didn't you ask what Yu'er meant?"

Shui Chi said in a muffled voice: "Yu'er didn't think about it clearly for a while, she said that she should sort out her thoughts tonight, and maybe she can come up with something tomorrow." , then you two can go back and rest, we will talk about it tomorrow, anyway, with Feng Bao at Lin's house, Yu'er will be safe."

Shui Jian Shui Rong looked at each other, bowed and retreated together, and returned to the Tai Tai's womb.The two cousins ​​couldn't fall asleep, they tossed and turned on the bed, and finally got up and put on their clothes to go out, and went to the study together to study the strange incident of the dead man taking jade.

In Lin's residence, Daiyu carefully read Ah Jiu's confession, and asked, "Lan Xin, do you know who the owners of those Zhuangzi in the south of the city are?"

Lan Xin thought for a while and said with a bitter face: "Princess, this is hard for Lan Xin. There are many hot springs in the mountains in the south of the city, so the dignitaries in the capital will build villas in the south of the city, and some even build more than one. One, there are at least sixty or seventy in the Biezhuang in the south of the city, and it would take a long time to check them all.”

Daiyu nodded and said: "Since that's the case, then please ask uncle to send someone to investigate, it's not convenient for you to appear there." Lan Xin hurriedly said: "The princess is absolutely right."

Huiyun walked in from the outside, and said with a smile: "Yu'er, your uncle has already sent someone to investigate, and he also sent a letter to Shu Yanzimo, asking the two of them to inquire in Jianghu. As soon as there is a reply, he will immediately Tell you."

Daiyu hurriedly asked: "Where is Shuyanzimo now? Are they all right? I don't know why the two of them left suddenly that day. I couldn't thank them properly."

Huiyun smiled and said: "I don't know where the two of them have gone. It's getting late now, Yu'er, you have to go to bed, or you will wake up tomorrow morning and your eyes will vomit. Let's ask your uncle tomorrow, he Should know."

Daiyu looked at the copper leak, and couldn't help laughing: "It's so late, it's strange that I'm a little sleepy, auntie, you should also go and rest, I'm going to sleep now."

Huiyun smiled and said: "Okay, Chunxian Xueyan, you two take good care of the girl to sleep, Qingmei Songyun Lanxin Bamboo Shadow, you sleep outside at night, be more alert, and you must not fall asleep."

Zhu Ying smiled and took Hui Yun's arm and said: "Second Madam, don't worry, Mr. Feng is still living in the wing room. Although the girl's courtyard can't be said to be a solid wall, it is almost the same."

Huiyun smiled and pointed to Zhuying's forehead and said: "The room is full of girls, big and small, and you are the most talkative. Well, I won't bother you here, Yu'er, you go to sleep quickly, I'll go back soon Already!"

In the middle of the night there was a sudden north wind, and the cotton wafted down all night. When I got up in the morning, I saw a vast expanse of white land, and the bamboo shadow shouted happily: "Girl, it's snowing!"

Daiyu hurriedly got out of bed and knelt on the warm couch and opened the window to look out. A gust of north wind blew in snowflakes. The snowflakes like goose feathers fell on Daiyu's outstretched hands, and instantly turned into cold water.Seeing Daiyu like this, Xueyan pulled back Daiyu's hand, closed the window, put a big fur cloak on Daiyu's shoulders, and said with a sullen face, "Girl, the north wind is blowing hard, look back and blow it again." cold."

Daiyu wore black and shiny black hair, and said with a playful smile: "I'm going to be cold here, good sister Xueyan, let me play for a while."

Seeing Daiyu's pitiful look on purpose, Xueyan couldn't help laughing and said: "My good girl, you've only got your clothes on, can this servant still hold you?"

While talking, Chun Xian came in from the outside with a thick stack of clothes in her hands, and said with a smile: "Girl, when it snows at night, the second lady ordered someone to bring this set of clothes, you can try it on."

Daiyu walked up to Chunxian, stretched out her hand to look at the clothes, and couldn't help laughing: "There are still a few boxes of clothes in the back with no upper body, why is my aunt making clothes for me again?"

Chunxian first changed Daiyu into a snow-white jacket with a stand-up collar, the collar and cuffs were carefully embroidered with light green young bamboo leaves, she put on a light pink and green silver fox narrow skirt with a trim, and tied a beige satin silver fox The inner horse face skirt is covered with a bright yellow palace satin fur round neck long gown. The front and back of this gown are embroidered with a few slanted emerald green bamboos, some of which are swaying gently on the branches. , some flew down lightly, just landed on the wide cuffs, Daiyu looked at herself in the mirror and said with a smile: "If this is standing in the snow, I'm afraid people will be regarded as green bamboos that can walk .”

Xueyan pulled Daiyu to sit down, quickly tied Daiyu's black hair into a flowing cloud bun, picked a flying phoenix from the makeup box and inserted it obliquely on the bun, three strings of rice beads and tassels It is hanging on the sideburns, and it will shake slightly when you walk, adding a bit of lightness to the heavy winter day. Xueyan looked at it for a while, and then decorated Daiyu's hair with suet and white jade flowers, and then pressed it with white jade tendril butterflies. Then he smiled and said: "Okay, girl, do you think it's okay?"

Daiyu helped Fufeifeng hold the pearl and shook it, nodded in satisfaction and said: "It's already very good, Xueyan, your hands are getting more and more skillful." Lan Xin brought breakfast, and Daiyu put on light clothes after using it. With a green snow fox fur cloak and a crane cloak, he got into a sedan chair and went to the palace.

The queen had sent someone to wait at the gate of the palace long ago, and directly connected Daiyu to the Qianqing Palace. When the queen saw Daiyu, her eyes lit up, she walked down and said with a smile: "You are so elegantly dressed, Yu'er, who is this?" The embroidery work is so vivid and bright."

Daiyu said with a slight smile, "The clothes are made by my aunt, and the flowers are also embroidered by my aunt."

The queen praised: "Huiyun's craftsmanship is getting better and better, I have to ask her to make me a set of clothes tomorrow."

Taking Daiyu to the inner hall to sit down, Shuiqing ran in, and he shouted sullenly: "Sister Yu'er, why did you come here, you are not in the palace, it is so boring."

Daiyu said with a smile: "Qing'er, I heard that you have a lot of homework, why do you still have time to play?"

The queen smiled and said: "It's a new year, and the pen is about to be closed. The emperor gave Qing'er a few days off. He made trouble with me several times. He wanted to find you, but I didn't agree. I have been angry these two days."

Shui Qing ran up to Daiyu, took Daiyu's hand and said, "Sister Yu'er, have you brought the little golden wolf?"

Daiyu shook her head and smiled, "I didn't bring it."

Shui Qing sighed in disappointment, and said in a muffled voice, "Why didn't you bring it?"

Daiyu had no choice but to explain with a smile: "The little golden wolf is growing fur and is a little weak, so I put it at home."

Shui Qing let out a cry, and suddenly remembered someone who said that someone was going to take Daiyu away, so she hurriedly asked, "Sister Yu'er, is someone going to arrest you?"

Daiyu smiled and nodded, "There is such a thing."

Shui Qing clenched her fists and jumped her feet and said, "Who is so bold, sister Yu'er, don't be afraid, Qing'er will protect you."

What Shui Qing said made the Queen and Daiyu laugh out loud, Shui Qing blushed and shouted: "Sister Yu'er, I will really protect you."

Daiyu pulled Shui Qing to sit beside her, and said with a gentle smile, "Qing'er, sister believes in you." Shui Qing then laughed happily.When Shui Qing was being naughty, he couldn't sit still, so he only sat with Daiyu for a while and then ran away again.

The emperor went back to the Qianqing Palace after the court, and Shui Chi Shui Rong followed. Seeing Daiyu, the father, son, uncle, and nephew all showed a hint of wonder in their eyes. Huiyun's elaborate clothes set off Daiyu as elegant as a dusty Like a fairy, the emperor praised: "Yu'er, I haven't seen you for two days, and you are getting more and more provocative."

Shui Chi just looked at Daiyu fixedly, seeing that Daiyu's face was flushed, like a delicate peach blossom.Shui Rong coughed heavily and said, "Could it be that the bamboo fairy from the sky came to the world?"

Daiyu avoided Shuiji's scorching gaze, lowered her head and said angrily, "Brother Rong, you're making fun of Yu'er again."

The queen took Daiyu's hand and said with a smile: "Sit down, Yu'er, and tell me what you think about someone trying to kidnap you."

Daiyu opened her red lips lightly, and a soft Wu tone flowed out from her lips, only to hear Daiyu say: "The one who wants to take someone into captivity should not be Yu'er's enemy, if the enemy is, he will directly take Yu'er's life without any trouble. I tried my best to take Yu'er away intact, and for this reason, I buried three dead soldiers for nothing."

The emperor nodded, and asked again: "If it's not an enemy, then who is it?"

Daiyu said softly: "The purpose of kidnapping Daiyu is not Daiyu, but to use Daiyu as bait for a bigger conspiracy."

The emperor sighed and said: "That's right, why didn't I think of this, Yu'er, we have caused you trouble." The queen also understood after hearing this, she looked at the water and shook her head slightly.

Shui Chi and Shui Rong also understood, and the two blushed with anger, Shui Chi shouted: "What a despicable method, Yu'er, don't be afraid, Brother Chi will definitely protect you. Don't let the thieves take advantage of it."

Daiyu said lightly: "Yu'er is not afraid, just a little worried. From the last time I met an assassin in Qingtai Mountain, to this time someone wants to kidnap Yu'er. In fact, it is brother Chi who is really in danger."

The emperor nodded and said: "Yu'er is right, Chi'er, the assassination of you has never stopped all these years, but the emperor can't find out anything, Chi'er, you are in the open and the enemy is in the dark, this is the best way to deal with you." It is very unfavorable, it seems that it is good to let you go to the northern border, if you turn from light to darkness, those rebellious officials and thieves will mess up without a target, and there will be traces to be found at that time."

Shui Chi's heart was tight, as if blocked by something, he was not afraid of someone attacking him, but when he thought that someone was going to kidnap Daiyu to threaten him, Shui Chi felt that there was nowhere to vent his anger.Shui Rong felt the same way, he said loudly: "Cousin, let's work together to find out all these thieves." Shui Rong nodded, grabbed the hand extended by Hand Rong, and shook it firmly.

Daiyu sat quietly at the side, and said softly: "The assassination of Qingtai Mountain, the night attack of the Lin family, and the arson in Kunning Palace, Uncle Emperor, Yu'er thinks that these three things are related, and the Lin family was attacked. The connection with the Kunning Palace fire is closer. Yu'er secretly thought that we should start with the Kunning Palace fire first, and try to find the real culprit."

But the emperor shook his head and said: "I don't check anything now. It seems that the New Year is coming. I will send you back to your hometown to worship your ancestors at the imperial banquet. You arrange a girl to pretend to be you and walk slowly to the south of the Yangtze River. I have to pretend to be sick too. I have already arranged a substitute. Chi'er, you will have to recuperate for at least a few months because of your illness. Rong'er, I heard that you have worshiped Taoist Sanqing as your teacher. His medical skills are superb. You should let go of everything and study hard with him, and it will only take three to five months to go to any mountain to learn from him."

Shui Chi and Dai Yu Shui Rongying claimed it was, and Shui Chi hurriedly asked: "Father, why don't you close the case?"

The queen smiled and said: "Silly boy, we still have us in the capital, how can we not investigate."

Shui Chi still wanted to say something, but Shui Rong smiled and said: "I have always heard from my father that the scenery in Northern Xinjiang is very beautiful, and I can finally go to see it with my own eyes. Your Majesty, if things go well, can we spend more time in Northern Xinjiang? ?”

Daiyu smiled and said: "It's all the grace of the emperor's uncle and aunt. Yesterday, many princes and ministers sent people to give gifts to congratulate. Yuer has brought all the gifts. Outside the door, Uncle Emperor please take it back to the treasury."

The emperor laughed loudly and said: "If it's given to you, you can keep it. How can Uncle ask for your things again?"

Daiyu said lightly: "These are belongings outside of the body, and if they are too much, they will be a burden. Please, Uncle Emperor, be considerate of Yu'er, and accept those troubles."

The queen smiled and said: "That's fine, Yu'er is not an outsider. Now that the treasury is empty, we just need these. Your Majesty, we don't want to refuse. First solve the urgent need, and we will talk about the rest later."

The emperor just nodded and sighed: "If the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty can be like Yu'er, I have nothing to worry about." , Knelt down and said: "Report to the emperor, the empress, the guards of the Beijing Palace are asking to see you outside the palace."

Chen Zhong fell to his knees and hissed, "Your Majesty, the lord is seriously injured, I'm afraid time is running out."
