Ascension

Song Ci is Mrs. Han, more precisely a widow.

The widow of Han Bao, the previous martial arts leader, was entrusted to Bai Cai by Han Bao before his death.With Qin'er's eyesight, she could tell at a glance that the widow had fallen in love with Bai Cai.

She was walking on the street, because it was almost the time of curfew, the flow of people on the street gradually thinned out, and in the end she was the only girl walking slowly on the street.

Changpei Palace is in charge of the maid, what a majestic title!

She got used to it, so she calmed down and concentrated on her own affairs.

Song Ci and Han Bao have been widowed for three years, and they are only 24 years old this year. Their looks are not delicate, but they are unpretentious and good-looking. Coupled with a set of patting palms passed down in their families, they can be called both talented and beautiful in the world.

Bai Cai is an upright person with high martial arts skills, and it is common sense for Song Ci to have a secret relationship with him day and night.

It's a pity that Han Bao's prestige in the martial arts was too high during his lifetime, and he was Bai Cai's eldest brother, so the good deeds of these two people may not be able to succeed.

Thinking of this, Qin'er felt an unreasonable joy in her heart.She knew that she was from a bad background, even if she survived until His Highness ascended the throne and was not given to another man, she would not be blessed to continue serving His Highness.And it's hard for him to stay with the one he loves with such talent and appearance, so how can that ugly woman get what she wants?

His Highness likes her like he likes a plaything. The old mother who taught Qin'er the rules in the palace said that this is called "favor".

As a concubine, she competes for splendor and beauty, all for the word "favor".But Qin'er knew that she was so spoiled, she didn't want to be Ji's concubine, because Ji's concubine's favor could not last long, and she wanted to be loved by His Royal Highness like his wife.It doesn't need much, one-tenth of what His Highness treats Wen Liang is enough.

Turn into an alley, and you have to go through three alleys to get to His Highness's other courtyard in the west of the city.

Qin'er was a little tired.She deliberately rushed to wait for him at the gate of the city ahead of Bai Cai, and she walked fast, but after standing in the cold wind for so long, and sending Bai Cai back all the way, the feet of the girl who doesn't know martial arts have turned from sour to weak, Step by step is like floating in the clouds.

She didn't seem to notice, the emerald pendant on the side of the bun shook even more violently, shining green in the light.

"Snapped!"

The palace lantern in her hand fell to the ground, and the candle flame touched the wall painted with peonies, and it burned instantly.

Several men in black rushed out from the shadows, helped the unconscious girl up, and knocked on a dilapidated small door in the alley.

No matter how many years of immersion, the darkness of the capital will always be darker than people imagined.

Tonight is bound to be a sleepless night.

After the cloud and rain, Yan Siyu put his arms around Xiang Gu's waist, the soft touch in his hands showed that he was a frail scholar who was really powerless.His fingers pinched Xiang Gu's waist, which was already covered with red and purple finger marks, the scholar endured it, never complaining of pain: "Have you ever said that you look like a person?"

"Your Highness said it on the first night." Xiang Gu seemed to be staring intently at the hair on his hands, dismantling them one by one.His hair fell down and mixed with Yan Siyu's long hair, unknowingly entangled with each other, and couldn't be separated for a while.

"The body is similar, the personality is similar, and even the actions are similar." Yan Siyu smiled lightly, but there was no smile in her dark eyes.

Xiang Gu's hand trembled, and a lock of hair in his hand was torn off.He carefully followed the broken hair and looked up, and found that it was his own hair that made him heave a sigh of relief: "I heard that Mr. Wen is a capable official under the abolished emperor. Is your highness praising your subordinates?"

Yan Siyu took his hand, wrapped the tangled hair, and said after a moment of silence: "He is very capable, but after all, he is young and vigorous, not as smooth as you."

About Wen Wen, Xiang Gu only knew bits and pieces, mostly from Wen Wen's letters.Dong Yan is in charge of Pei Gong's killer, but Yan Siyu alone entrusts him with the task of contacting Wen Wen, probably because he is indeed very similar to Wen Wen.

"Master Wen is too ignorant of current affairs to make great things happen."

Yan Siyu laughed hard when she heard the words, and hugged him even tighter, her chest trembled amidst the laughter, and said: "He is young and vigorous, and I am younger and more vigorous than him. The difference is that I am younger than him. He was strong, so his stubbornness became ignorance of current affairs. Now I don't have the wanton arrogance of my youth, but he is dead, dead forever."

Xiang Gu's heart was beating very fast, he should be happy when he heard Yan Siyu say that Wen Wen was dead, but his head became heavier under his chest, as if what he had always believed in had changed, and there was a dull pain.

"He is dead, Your Highness still has me."

Yan Siyu looked at him and wanted to ask him, who is this "I"?

But he finally shook his head and said with a sneer: "There are too many people in this palace, and you are not missing."

Xiang Gu has nothing to say.

"Did that map be sent to Wen Liang?"

"It has been delivered."

When it comes to official duties, Xiang Gu's expression is much softer.This is one of his eccentricities, he often has a stern face between the beds, and as long as he is not in the main hall of Changpei when talking about official business, he always has a faint smile, and he seems to be able to do a job with ease.

"Your Highness is so sure that Xilu will send troops this autumn? Taifu's party hasn't really started a war with us yet. If Gut is smart enough, he should wait for our own civil strife."

"There are no fewer internal problems in Xilu than we do." Yan Siyu said, "Whether it is the palace, the emperor or the Taifu, they are all people who have a sense of proportion, and they still have this country in their hearts, but the barbarians in Xilu don't know how to fight against foreign enemies together. Reasonable. After Gute integrated Xilu, he postponed the start of the war for a year, and if he doesn’t send troops, he will be busy with the civil war.”

"Then Your Highness might as well Pai...ah!" Xiang Gu's face that had softened just now froze again, he grabbed Yan Siyu's hand, frowned and said, "Your Highness, I have an appointment with Master Wen Wen tomorrow morning."

Yan Siyu's hand ignored Xiang Gu's weak resistance, increased his strength to knead his fleshy place, kissed his ear and said: "You are always busy in the morning. Gu Te's house has already buried someone, but now It's not the time yet. The Huainan Army and the Jiangbei Army have been preparing for this battle for a year, and this country cannot be lost."

"But the number of troops... woo... slow down, slow down..." Xiang Gu's arm was already on Yan Siyu's back, his fair face was slightly flushed, full of forbearance.

Yan Siyu's eyes were cold, she bit her teeth hard on his neck, and said in a muffled voice, "Huainan Army plus Jiangbei Army, as long as no one makes trouble, it's enough."

"Your Highness..."

"No one will make trouble, right?" Yan Siyu held his face with one hand, her smile was very light and cold, "Answer me, right?"

Xiang Gu was stunned, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Yes."

That night, Yan Siyu knew that the person next to her pillow was not asleep, and kept her eyes open all night.

Instead of feeling distressed, he felt joyful, as secretive as Xiang Gu's fear.

This pleasure only lasted until the next morning.

Qin'er is missing.

"Qin'er will only go to another courtyard after seeing off Bai Cai, and then ask the people nearby." Yan Siyu sat at the table in a red cloak, because it was an inner room, he only wore a snow-white cloak underneath. The obscene clothes, the thin belts of the obscene clothes were exposed under the dark red, with a very indifferent appearance.

Dong Yan lowered his head, not daring to look at Princess Xiang'an, feeling a little apprehensive.He is in charge of the assassins in the other courtyard, but Xiang Gu is in charge of the official affairs, and said: "The distance between the two families is too far, even if Aunt Qin'er is going straight to the other courtyard, there are many families in between. Don't you want to find an excuse from the official?"

Dozens of families disappeared all at once, and it was too difficult not to attract attention. Official documents were needed to do so.

Xiang Gu didn't go to Cheng Wen's place this morning, but went directly to the imperial hospital because he hurt an embarrassing place last night.Originally, this kind of injury is not suitable for the imperial doctor to see, just apply some medicine on his own, but Yan Siyu doesn't allow him to do it himself, he must go to the imperial doctor.

Yan Siyu didn't intend to let him intervene in this matter: "Since the person was lost when he came back from Bai Cai, Wen Wen is naturally responsible. He probably wants to take this job."

"Aunt Qin'er knows a lot, and I'm afraid she will suffer if Wen Wen finds her back." Dong Yan said tactfully, in fact, Wen Wen really found someone, and in all likelihood, she will not be returned to Changpei Palace.

Yan Siyu frowned, suppressing her anger and said: "We can only let Wen Wen find it! There are still a few people in the other courtyard, don't tell me that you don't know!"

Qin'er has been by his side for many years, and it's time for him to develop feelings for a pet, let alone a beautiful woman who is as beautiful as a flower, interprets her words, and smells like a jade.It's not that he's not in a hurry, it's that he can't let people see that he's in a hurry.

Seeing that autumn is about to enter, the situation in Xilu cannot be relaxed at all; Baicai can't ignore the matter of summoning heroes from the rivers and lakes to serve the country with great fanfare; in addition, Dong Yan sent many people to hunt down Wen Wen some time ago, and only [-]% of them came back.Even the Changpei Palace family has a big business, and they can't afford such consumption.

Dong Yan sensed his master's irritability, he didn't dare to worry about Qin'er's safety, and took out a booklet instead.

"Impeachment?" Yan Siyu's thoughts were indeed distracted, he read the content of the memorial, raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "You already have an idea?"

Dong Yan nodded, and said affirmatively: "Su Danqing is a student of Tai Fu, so there is no reason to work for Xilu, it should be bought."

"Don't touch him yet, send someone to watch. Sudan Qing jumped out to impeach Xiang Gu for no reason, and he used such a ridiculous reason. After thinking about it for a while, he knew that he deliberately provoked a fight between Chang Pei and the old man Taifu. Yan Ye The vision is small, but it may not be able to see the covetous Xilu, I am waiting for the reaction of him and the old man."

Dong Yan asked: "Did you lose the opportunity?"

Yan Siyu sneered and said: "Who can stand on the opposite side of this palace and live until now is not a human being. This fight can't be fought, at most it will be a little drizzle. Instead, it is Xilu Gute, who was assassinated and seriously injured. A few years before he ascended the throne, he took advantage of the opportunity to send troops in disorder, and there had long been complaints among the tribe, as long as there is another big defeat, he, the sweaty Khan, can abdicate and give way to the virtuous."

Dong Yan couldn't control his mouth and said: "The current military strength of this dynasty is against Shangxilu, and the subordinates are worried that they may not be able to win."

The main responsibility of the Jiangbei Army is to defend against the alien races in the north. It is impossible to deploy too many troops to fight against Xilu. However, the Huainan Army, the old opponent of Xilu, has suffered a severe decline in combat power due to the struggle of the upper class in recent years.As for the Huaihe Army with the largest number of people, there are at most ten thousand people who can actually fight. This is the result of Wen Liang's training for a year.

Yan Siyu's answer was only two words: "I can win."

Dong Yan didn't know where his master's confidence came from, and he wanted to continue persuading him, but Yan Siyu rebuked him.

The author has something to say: Xiang Gu has a hidden identity!

No matter how stupid you read or write, as long as Xiao Gong is cute enough, you will often ignore Xiao Shou.

_Wen Liang doesn't appear again. This article can happily go to the CP-free road.

Does anyone want to watch without CP?

Please give me some advice in this chapter.
