The princess is poisonous [rebirth]

In the autumn of Ning Xuan's 27th year, the weather gradually turned cooler.

Lu Ying suffered from repeated serious illnesses, his body was even colder, and he could no longer blow the wind. He used to be thin, but now he was so preoccupied that his body became thinner and thinner.

From summer to autumn, Lu Ying still held on to the mess, with no solution at all.

"Is there any progress today?" Seeing that Lu Ying was looking seriously, Gu Qingzhan still asked as usual, Lu Ying still shook his head slightly, Gu Qingzhan pointed at the chessboard and laughed and teased her: "If you can break the endgame of a century , is the number one national player in Dazheng."

"The meaning of what my sister said is that you don't believe that I can crack it?" Lu Ying held a sunspot on her chin, raised her eyes and looked at Gu Qingzhan stubbornly, unwilling to admit defeat at all.

The two of them have long been accustomed to this way of talking, and they have lost their previous restraint. After all, the backyard of this deep house is boundless and lonely, who else can they talk to?

Gu Qingzhan snatched the sunspot from Lu Ying's hand, saw that her face was already thinner than when she first entered the mansion, and said angrily: "I know you are smart, but you don't have to be true to yourself like this, it hurts the soul and the body."

"This..." Lu Ying looked at the formation of the chessboard and was suddenly amazed. She continued to pick up a black piece to replace a white piece on the board, "Did my sister find out... if there is a black piece here, the white pieces will be wiped out .”

Gu Qingzhan noticed this after a little attention. She was noncommittal, replaced the white piece, and then corrected: "But this is just a white piece, and it's a dead end or a dead end."

"No, there must be a way to solve it." Lu Ying touched the replaced white piece with her fingertips, "It doesn't matter whether the white piece is black or white, this one is the key."

Lu Ying likes to play chess because he was influenced by his father. Lu Yuanshao often said that the chess field is like a battlefield, but the battlefield is much more complicated. The confrontation on the chessboard is black and white, but on the battlefield, there are too many unknowns.It's not that she likes to be true to herself, but she just thinks that if she can't even play this game of chess well, how can she face future intrigues.

"You really do everything so seriously?"

Lu Ying was full of thoughts about the chess game, but she didn't hear what Gu Qingzhan asked clearly, she just said "hmm" vaguely.

Gu Qingzhan said softly again: "A few days ago, you said that you would teach me how to ride a horse, but you didn't know how serious it was."

It seems that there is some dissatisfaction and complaints.

"I..." Lu Ying heard it clearly this time, but was rendered speechless by the refutation. She thought that the matter was over and it was over, but Gu Qingzhan still remembered it in her heart, "If my sister wants to learn... "

"No."

Lu Ying was overwhelmed by Gu Qingzhan's refusal. She didn't know whether it was an illusion or something else. She faintly felt Gu Qingzhan's depression and displeasure, and her depression was all caused by herself.But would the reasonable Princess Zhao be upset about such a trivial matter?

"Sister, I..."

Seeing her embarrassed appearance, Gu Qingzhan smoothed things over first, "I just said it casually, but you take it seriously... If it's cold today and you're weak, you should take a good rest."

Reciting scriptures and worshiping Buddha all day long, no matter who it is, it will feel boring after staying in this high wall isolated from the world for a long time.

Lu Ying originally thought that Gu Qingzhan was a legendary woman who would not eat fireworks in the world, but it was not until a few months ago when she was teaching her how to ride a horse that Lu Ying saw a glimmer of life in her calm eyes for the first time, and only then did she understand that Gu Qingzhan's daily smile Feeling full of meaning may not be truly free and easy.

Most likely, they are somewhat similar, with a lot of things buried in their hearts, but there are always ways to pretend on the surface.

When meeting her for the first time, Lu Ying only felt that her smile was so beautiful, without any trace of dust, and the more she got in touch with her, the clearer she became in her heart. Seeing her smile again now, she even felt a little distressed.

Gu Qingzhan doesn't love Zheng Zhao, this is what Lu Ying has already noticed since he married into the palace that day.No matter how ups and downs are rumored by the outside world, Lu Ying can see through at a glance that she does not love Zheng Zhao. Although she treats Zheng Zhao with a gentle smile, it is definitely not the love between a man and a woman.

Lu Ying also thought about why she and Gu Qingzhan had no sympathy for each other from the very beginning, maybe it was because they had the same fate.There is no right to choose to marry, and at the same time marrying a man you don't love, your fate is entrusted to others.

No matter how weak you are, you still have to struggle.

"It doesn't matter, my sister is very smart, she will be able to do it once you teach her." Lu Ying thought to herself, since she is already in such a situation, she doesn't need to live like a resentful woman every day.

"That's all, it's useless for me to learn these things." Gu Qingzhan still replied with a smile, but this smile made Lu Ying feel a little stiff at this moment.

He obviously wanted to learn, so why bother to bear it.Lu Ying wanted to see her stop being so depressed, at least she could really laugh for a while.Lu Ying directly ignored Gu Qingzhan's refusal, and continued to go her own way: "Sister, then I will ask Bi Luo to bring the horse over."

"Hmm." Gu Qingzhan lowered his head and hooked the corners of his lips, which was really pretty.

Seeing her bowing her head and smiling, Lu Ying couldn't help laughing, "Bi Luo, hurry up and pick a docile pony over here."

Biluo got the order and went out, only Yingqiu stayed where she was, frowning and looking at Gu Qingzhan, her tone was a bit unbelievable, "Mother, you... you really want to learn?!"

Lu Ying thought that Yingqiu was worried about Gu Qingzhan's safety, so she reassured her: "I have been learning riding and archery since I was ten years old, so you don't have to worry about it."

Gu Qingzhan touched Lu Ying's arm, "If you want to go out to ride a horse, you need to wear more clothes, it's windy outside."

Yingqiu said again: "It's rare for your empress to be interested in this."

Lu Ying still rode with her, teaching in a soft voice, just as patiently as she was teaching herself to play the piano.But Gu Qingzhan is not as "smart" as Lu Ying imagined, and he is very timid when riding a horse.

"Where are you going?" Gu Qingzhan felt that Lu Ying's hand around his waist wanted to loosen.

"Don't be afraid, try it alone..." Lu Ying let go of her, and was about to get off the horse...

Gu Qingzhan remained silent.

Lu Ying hesitated for a moment, then continued to circle her waist and pull the rein, "It's okay, just ride a few more times and it will be fine."

The autumn wind blew up, and the fallen leaves were flying. Lu Ying rode her horse through the dead leaves, speeding up intentionally or unintentionally. In the cool wind, she hugged the person in her arms tightly again, with unprecedented warmth.

Gu Qingzhan closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again in an instant, no one noticed her actions.In the past few years in the palace, it was the first time today that she felt less lonely, even if it was just an illusion, she was allowed to indulge for a moment.

The next day, Lu Ying caught cold again.

It happened to be the first day of the new year, and Lu Ying wanted to accompany Gu Qingzhan to the temple to offer incense, but was rejected by Gu Qingzhan, "Since you are sick, you should stay well, and don't have to worry about it." Lu Ying seldom saw her such a stern look, and he knew it in his heart She cared about herself, so she obediently stayed in the room and didn't go anywhere.

In the past few months, Lu Ying has been looking for clues of the Sanjin Association, but there are very few clues, and Ouyang and the two brothers have been busy investigating all day long, not to mention that she cannot leave the house at all in this palace.But it's strange to think about it, since the Sanjin Society once deliberately assassinated her, why is there no movement now?All this is really suspicious.

"Ma'am, here we come."

Bi Luo's voice came from outside the door, very low, Lu Ying knew who was coming, and understood: "Yes."

Two men in Tsing Yi came in outside the house, they were indeed the two brothers Ouyang, they must have a clue about the assassination, otherwise they would not have appeared in the palace so rashly.

Sure enough, as soon as Ouyang Shan opened his mouth, he said, "Miss, we have a clue."

"About the Sanjin Association?" Lu Ying's intuition has always been accurate.

"Last night Zuo Sima died suddenly, and now it has caused an uproar in the court..."

Sudden death?Another sudden death.Lu Ying pondered for a moment, then raised her head and asked again, "The sudden death of Zuo Sima and the sudden death of General Zhen Guo last month...is there any connection?"

In less than three months, two important generals were lost in the court, and they both died for unknown reasons. If it was a coincidence, it would be too outrageous.

"It's too miserable, too miserable!" Ouyang Lin is more casual than his elder brother Ouyang Shan, he never pays attention to those red tapes, and he always speaks carelessly, "It's what Sanjin would do, and the method is exactly the same."

"That's right, judging by the method of killing, the sudden deaths of Zuo Sima and General Zhen Guo, as well as the sudden surprise attack on Miss last time, all came from the Sanjin Association."

Lu Ying was puzzled. From what she knew, the Sanjin Society was nothing more than an organization of gangster killers, and would never interfere with court affairs. To blatantly hunt and kill the dignitaries of the court is already contrary to their original intention of the Legislative Council."

"Two possibilities are not ruled out. One is that the Sanjin Association was entrusted by others to use people's money to eliminate disasters for -people..."

Lu Ying deeply felt that this possibility was not great. If the Sanjin Association was only for money, there was no need to go to the troubled waters of the court. After all, there were many gossips in the emperor's family. She boldly guessed: "There is also a possibility that someone pretends to be in the name of the Sanjin Association. , eradicate dissidents."

The Sanjin Association was originally a legend circulated among the people, who knows if it is true or not.

Ouyang Shan: "The imperial court has already ordered the arrest of the Sanjinhui. I think they will restrain themselves a lot during this time."

Ouyang Lin rolled his eyes, "Depending on when will those wretches from the imperial court investigate clearly, at worst it will be done hastily."

Lu Ying was worried about her father's old illness, and originally wanted to hide the assassination, but now it seems that her own strength is not enough.She doesn't have to keep concealing these things, and there may be new progress in discussing with her father, not to mention... The Sanjin Association is also related to the death of her mother, so she has to find out the truth no matter what.

"Miss, this is brought to you by General Lu." Ouyang Lin sent a box to Lu Ying, not forgetting to say emotionally: "General, he misses you very much..."

"Wait a minute, both of you..." Lu Ying turned around and spread out his pen and ink in front of the desk, and wrote a letter from home. The handwriting was beautiful and neat. These days, he practiced calligraphy with Gu Qingzhan, and he still made progress.She handed the letter to Ouyang Shan, "Please pass it on for me, and tell Dad that I am doing well in the palace."

Ouyang Shan clasped his fists, "I will definitely convey this on my behalf, and take my leave."

Before Lu Ying opened the box, he smelled a faint scent of osmanthus. When he opened it, it was indeed osmanthus cake.The sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the General's Mansion bloomed again, it was planted by my mother...

She still remembers when she was a child, her father hugged herself on his shoulders, and she stretched out her arms to shake the osmanthus branches, until the osmanthus blossoms fell down like rain. Seeing her father with the osmanthus flowers on his head, she was very happy Not from ear to ear.The mother was not far away looking at them and laughing. At this time, it was time for her to throw herself into her mother's arms and act like a baby. Only after she acted like a baby could she eat her mother's sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Looking at the familiar sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of her eyes, it has long been different, and Lu Ying's tears also began to flow down. After a long time, Fang calmed down.

"Bi Luo, is the princess back?"

Bi Luo outside the house responded, "Going back to your mother, it will be later."

Lu Ying looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand, thinking that maybe she would like the taste of sweet-scented osmanthus cake after eating all kinds of delicacies, "Let's go to Qingyue Pavilion in the evening."

After waiting for two hours, Lu Ying inadvertently swept the dead game on the chessboard... Bai Zi?Kuroko?exchange?

Lu Ying suddenly realized that the important officials in the DPRK and China died suddenly, and there will be new officials to replace them... If this white piece is replaced by a black piece, the whole white army will be wiped out.

If we compare the current situation in the court to this endgame, the person who is currently controlling the Sanjinhui is the one who wants to replace this white piece with a black piece.In other words, he wanted to win this game of chess and did whatever it took. Since he was able to dismount the first-rank Sima, there was no doubt that his goal must be the lofty dragon chair in the Yong'an Hall.

Now that he has married into Prince Zhao's Mansion, Zheng Zhao has no reason to destroy the General's Mansion; and King Qi Zheng Yulu Ying knows even more that he is just a reckless man who doesn't know how to manage things like this.

Therefore, apart from King Zhao and King Qi, there must be strong players coveting the throne.

It is almost unitary time.

"Your Majesty, the princess is back." Bi Luo announced.

"Ah."

On weekdays, Lu Ying often went to Qingyue Pavilion, since there were so many rules, the maid stepped forward to inform her, and she followed in.

"Concubine Ying stay here." Yingqiu blocked Lu Ying's way.

Yingqiu is usually kind to others, but she has a little hostility towards herself, which Lu Ying can't see.

Lu Ying said with a smile: "My father sent someone to send the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and I specially sent it for my sister to try."

"The concubine is preparing to take a bath, the concubine Ying should come back another day."

"This..." Lu Ying ordered Bi Luo, "Bi Luo, then leave the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and we will visit another day."

Bi Luo was a little displeased, this was sent by the General's Mansion, and the empress sent it to Qingyue Pavilion without a piece of cake, she just didn't get a good word, and this time she even issued an expulsion order.

Gu Qingzhan heard Lu Ying's voice in the house, and said: "Yingqiu, don't be rude, let Yingfei come in and sit."
