Ascension

It was dark.

The concubine helped Suweite to sleep, her hair was covered with black hair, her face was whiter, her slender feet were put into red satin embroidered shoes, she tiptoed and walked towards the door step by step.

Passing by the small incense burner in the corner, she reached out and hugged the burner in her arms, looked back at Suweite who was sleeping soundly, and then peeked out through the crack of the door to make sure that there was no one in the yard. go out.

There are quite a few people in Hedu City who want to assassinate Suweite, and the defense in the mansion is extremely strict.

The concubine poured the ashes of the incense burner into the pit dug long ago, stepped on it firmly with her feet, and after confirming that there were no traces left, she gathered her clothes and hurried to the kitchen.

There was only one one-armed old man cooking a pot of gruel in the kitchen.Hearing the woman's chaotic footsteps, he put down the wooden spoon he was stirring in his hand, turned around and said: "Take it away, don't put your face on it no matter how anxious you are."

The concubine was still holding the small incense burner in her arms, her beautiful face was as pale as snow, and she said in a trembling voice: "Quick, quick, they are going to kill Commander Sun's old army! Wagu has brought [-] elite soldiers and is rushing here , may arrive at any time!"

The one-armed old man's face twitched when he heard the words, and he couldn't care less about pretending to be calm, he threw down the wooden spoon and said anxiously: "Do you know when they will attack? The gates of this city are closed, our carrier pigeons don't recognize the people from the Jianghuai army, I have to run away myself Go and report."

"Are you going at night? The housekeeper won't see you the next day, so you won't be able to hide." The concubine put the incense burner under the unlit stove and covered it with firewood. Hero Lin saves people, so it is estimated that Uma will kill people at dawn."

The one-armed old man's lightness kung fu was the highest in Hedu City, that's why he sneaked into Suweit's mansion to pass the news, and no one could climb the city wall except him.

"You said that Wagu might arrive at any time, so we can't delay it. We have been prepared for Sun Tong's old department, but we are not sure. If you find a way to delay the execution time, it is best to wait until the Jianghuai army is attacking the city. Our people take advantage of the chaos Save people."

The concubine frowned, at such a critical moment, the old man Suweite might not listen to any of her words, but at present she had no choice but to grit her teeth and respond: "Okay, but I don't guarantee success .”

"Girl Hongxiu, thank you to the 300 people left behind by the elders and grandsons."

The one-armed old man bowed to the end, before he could say anything else, he hurried to report to the Jianghuai Army.

The concubine quietly lay back beside Suweite, staring blankly at the thin foreign old man, sometimes wishing to kill him with a knife, and sometimes couldn't help being grateful to him.

Before Hedu City was broken, she was just a girl from Qinlou who admired Sun Guang.Sun Guang likes her talent and intelligence, but he never thought of marrying her.His close friends also look down on her, because Mrs. Sun is virtuous and she is dissolute.

Hongxiu, Hongxiu, Meng Lang is so frivolous just by hearing his name, he is not from a good family.

But who can decide their origin?If she had a father who was strong in Lingbei like Mrs. Sun, she would be a good woman with both ability and political integrity, instead of living in prostitution and letting others play with her.

If Xilu hadn't captured Hedu City, she would always be the prostitute of Qinlou whom they looked down upon. If Sun Guang hadn't died in front of her eyes, she probably wouldn't have the courage to get involved in this head-losing incident.

Just now, the old man who was respected by everyone sincerely saluted her. She was stunned at that time, but now she was so happy that she almost laughed.

How much she wants Sun Guang to see that she is also a loyal woman!

Hongxiu is not afraid of death, she is only afraid of being belittled in the end of this life.Even if Sun Guang came back alive and said he wanted to marry her, she might not be willing.That man will always treat her as a plaything and take her love for granted.Now that she has finally turned around and become a good woman in the eyes of others, she no longer cares about Sun Guang.She wants him to remember under the ground that he owes her.

Thinking of this, Hong Xiu really smiled.

There was no way for her to let Suweite postpone the death of Sun Guang's old man. Even the old man in Xilu would not listen to the words of a little girl from Qinlou.

She can only make Xilu people into a mess.

Hongxiu took out an ordinary silver hairpin from under the pillow. The hairpin was pointed and a little black, and it stuck on Suweite's finger, which only made him frown.

You can't kill him right away, you have to let Uma check it carefully, find out that it was her who poisoned him, and you have to interrogate her to find the antidote.

The longer she lasts, the greater the chance of Lin Daxia rescuing Sun Guang's former troops.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just this morning, a dead cat was hung on the plaque of Changpei Palace.

Gray-black fur, drooping head, drooping four paws, dripping blood from the neck.

Liu Wanti stalked the cat, bowed deeply, not daring to meet Princess Xiang'an's cold eyes.

"It's a good thing that this palace doesn't have any animals, otherwise the one on the plaque might not be the concubine's cat."

Liu Wan's rickety back became even lower, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this kind of thing will never happen again."

"What if there is a second time?" Yan Siyu actually chuckled, and before Liu Wan could answer, she pointed to the cat in his hand, "Peel the skin, dig out the eyes, remove the tongue, break the teeth, and send it to Wen Wen's house." .”

"By the way," Yan Siyu added, "don't hang at his door, I will send it to his couch when he sleeps."

The gate can be regarded as a facade, but who would send a master to help him guard the gate?The bed in the inner room is an important place, and it is deliberately placed when people are sleeping. Obviously, it is not difficult to kill people.

Hanging a plaque is a slap in the face, but putting it next to the pillow is a blatant threat.

"Yes." Liu Wan stepped back cautiously.

Yan Ruyu rubbed her red lips with her white fingers, looked at the dark red color, and said: "Gute was scared, he finally found out that Xilu is a piece of porcelain glued with rice grains, and he has to hold it carefully so that it can go downwind. Passing along the water, can't stand the slightest bump."

"Thanks to the stupid people in Xilu, otherwise the country of this dynasty will be ruined by some stupid people." Dong Yan is already the chief staff member of Changpei Palace, and said with a deep frown, "A dead cat, what does the temperature want?" What are you doing? Provocation?"

"Just a reminder to this palace. Yan Ye must have given the order to assassinate Wen Liang, but Xilu is pressing every step of the way, and there is no general in the court who can replace Wen Liang, so there is no danger of his life for the time being." Yan Siyu held his hand Wipe the lip balm on the handkerchief, "Send the handkerchief and the cat skin to the Grand Concubine, don't make her worry too much."

It's a pity that Wen Wen didn't know that Yan Siyu had already guessed this matter when Yan Ye urgently called him into the palace, and made up his mind to let it go.

Dong Yan took the brocade handkerchief, and the plain white handkerchief set off a red mark in the center that was shocking, and he understood what the master meant after a moment of surprise.

Jinpa, frightened.

"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager is weak..."

Yan Siyu stopped his words with a wave of his hand, and said: "Bengong is annoyed when she thinks about her. Since Wen Wen hung her cat on the plaque of this palace today, I might as well scare her."

The biological mother and son have come to such a field.

In fact, Yan Siyu knew that he just hated his dead father so much and turned his anger on that infatuated woman, but he needed a way to vent this kind of hatred that could not be revealed, so he tortured his mother everywhere.

"Your Highness..." Dong Yan hesitated, "These days are very irritating."

"Gute didn't know how to contact the alien race in the north, and held back the Jiangbei Army. Although he is not under Changpei, he is an indispensable combat force in this dynasty. This battle is difficult to fight."

Dong Yan wondered: "As far as my subordinates know, the Xilu Army has been stopped by the Huainan Army in the upper reaches of the Jin River. Once Xilu's vigor is lost, internal conflicts will be revealed soon."

"It's not that he was stopped, but that Gu Te didn't dare to move forward." Yan Siyu said with a frown, "He has already discovered that there is a gap between the various ministries in the West Foot. If it is rectified, the dynasty’s losses will be even greater.”

Dong Yan shook his head and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. Even if the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant nest, even if Gute rectifies it, the loose rule of Xilu for thousands of years is doomed to have little effect."

Yan Siyu nodded in agreement and said: "I don't understand military affairs, so don't worry about it. Anyway, I have done what I can do, and the rest is the affairs of the generals."

Foreign military orders will not be accepted.It will take several days for Dibao to be sent from the capital to the border, and the capital has very limited control over the situation of the battle. Yan Siyu doesn't like things that are out of her control, but she has to admit that such a thing is unthinkable.
