Zhao Wang kept his word, and Li Yue brought news at night that Lou Kaiyang had returned to the Tangxin Tower, he was free from illness, pain and injury, Yun Buhui felt relieved, and saw Lou Kaiyang again the next day, Lou Kaiyang told She, King Zhao didn't embarrass him, he just forced him to tell Mrs. Yunyao's identity. Yang didn't intend to go back.

"Yuwu is very worried about you." Yun Buhui said, "You forgot to promise her that you will get married when you get back. Now the palace needs someone to take care of you. Brother, you should go back to Fengcheng."

"What about you?"

"I want to go back with Xiaobai."

"I'll wait for you to go together."

Yun Buhui's persuasion was ineffective, so she could only follow Lou Kaiyang. These days, she became more and more worried, not knowing what would happen in the future. Cheng Mubai seemed to have made up his mind to fight King Zhao. Yun Buhui had gone to Beitang Zhennan, he kept his mouth shut on state affairs. A few days ago he was a little loose and wanted to help Cheng Mubai, but these few days he unexpectedly didn't say anything about the court.

Zhao Wang came to the mansion to look for Beitang Zhennan once, the two talked for several hours in the study room, there were occasional quarrels, and when they finally left, Zhao Wang looked ugly, Yun Bugui had no chance to talk to him, he As soon as he went out, he got on his horse and left.

Lin Wan'er was very worried, while Yun Buhui was worried. If things go on like this, the situation will definitely get out of hand. If there is a real fight, what are Cheng Mubai's chances of winning?

In the blink of an eye, it was December, the year was coming to an end, and there was no sign of celebrating the New Year in Beijing. Yun Buhui took the time to clean up the General's Mansion these few days, and hung up a plaque on the Yun Mansion. The inscription was inscribed by King Zhao himself.She is very familiar with his handwriting, which is vigorous and domineering. He is the best calligraphy person she has ever seen. She likes the handwriting very much. She has copied his handwriting for a year, and it is [-]% or [-]% similar.

Cheng Mubai once said that her handwriting is not as graceful as a woman's, but has the strength of a man's. I don't know the reason.

"Have you seen Cheng Mubai recently?" Zhao Wang asked, Yun Buhui said, "I've seen him three times, he came and went in a hurry, he was very busy."

Zhao Wang nodded, and stood outside the general's mansion with his hands behind his back, "The emperor is dying, of course he is busy."

Yun Buhui's complexion changed slightly, she had heard rumors that the emperor was critically ill, King Zhao supervised the country, she dared not ask King Zhao if he poisoned the emperor, honestly speaking, she really didn't care about the emperor's life or death.

But she cared about Prince Xuan's Mansion. After the emperor died, Prince Xuan's Mansion collapsed.

"Can you survive this year?" Yun Buhui asked.

King Zhao thought for a moment, "Let's have a look."

"What's wrong with him?"

"When people get old, they will die. It doesn't matter what kind of disease you have." Zhao Wang said lightly, and Yun Buhui nodded, "I think the emperor must have written the imperial decree and passed it on to you."

Zhao Wang said nothing, there was something very dark in his eyes.

After a long time, he said, "There is going to be a war."

Yun Buhui's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't know what to say.

On December [-]th, King Zhao's birthday, the palace held a birthday banquet and invited the dignitaries in Beijing. The other two princes came to the mansion for a gathering. Beitang Zhennan was also invited. The Prime Minister and King Zhao had a long-standing relationship. Did not show up.The dignitaries in Beijing, whether willing or unwilling, all went to the mansion to celebrate for the prince, and the princes of the four counties all went.

The birthday banquet is very big, it seems to be a special event, and it is known all over the city.

He is a low-key person, and has always been like this. In previous years, the birthday banquet was not extravagant, but it was not enough, but this year it was a big mistake, and it was held in a grand manner. Many people said that Zhao Wang was stunned by the upcoming success, and the whole There was no one to oppose him in the capital, and he was already a well-deserved emperor, so it was naturally as grand as the Longevity Festival.

Yun Buhui looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, and it was his birthday again.

In previous years, she would send a gift to celebrate his birthday, and she didn't forget it after getting married. This year, he was in the capital, but he didn't express it at all. On the [-]th, she met King Zhao. When she met someone on the road, she only said a happy birthday and wished him an early blessing. King Zhao just nodded and hurried out of the city. Afterwards, no one said anything. Naturally, she didn't go to the palace to celebrate him today.

"Happy birthday." Yun Buhui looked at the moon and wished, "May you be safe every year."

Yun Buhui slept very restlessly that day, tossing and turning at night, he was suddenly woken up by a sudden gust of wind, he quickly woke up from the bed, and found a black shadow standing in front of the bed, Yun Buhui was stunned, just about to leave As soon as the sound was heard, someone covered his mouth, and the man's hands were cold.

"It's me!" Cheng Mubai said, Yun Buhui's flustered heart calmed down, but found blood on his abdomen, she lifted the quilt to help him sit down, and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Don't be nervous, it's not my blood." Cheng Mubai said, his tone was a little tired, as if he hadn't rested for a few days, Yun Buhui was heartbroken, under such a high-pressure environment, no one would be able to sleep.

"I want to leave the capital." Cheng Mubai said, Yun Buhui was annoyed, "What happened?"

"Mu Dong and elder brother have been arrested, the two princes are dead, the princes of the four counties are gone, and Xiao Bing's life and death are unknown..." Every time Cheng Mubai said a word, Yun Buhui's heart sank, she vaguely knew, Cheng Mubai and the others have been tricked...

Is King Zhao the one who was plotted by others? He will definitely count them all in, and lose troops and generals.

"What happened?" Yun Buhui asked sharply, "Didn't I tell you not to act rashly? Didn't I say that you were no match for him at all? Why are you still messing around?"

Cheng Mubai stared at her with a sneer, Yun Buhui's eyes turned red with rage, the door was pushed open suddenly, the lights in the room came on, Yun Buhui and Cheng Mubai turned their heads, Beitang Zhennan and Lin Wan'er stood at the door with heavy faces, Cheng Mubai Bai's eyebrows furrowed deeply.

Beitang Zhennan said, "I guessed that tonight would be a big trap. Sure enough, Zhao Wang won, and your goal has been achieved, but the price is too high..."

Cheng Mubai remained silent, looking directly at Beitang Zhennan, "Who will you help?"

Yun Buhui anxiously interrupted the conversation between the two men, "Who will tell me what's going on?"

Beitang Zhennan said, "King Zhao's birthday is just a trap. His purpose is to make King Mu and King Rui kill each other. Liu Mei was the No. 1 prostitute in Beijing back then. King Mu and King Rui knew Liu Mei together. Liu Mei liked King Mu, but was raped by King Rui, had a child, and finally married King Rui, and the two turned against each other. The child died of dystocia, but King Rui was really infatuated with Liu Mei. He hadn't married a side concubine in more than ten years. Treat her alone. Half a year ago, Liu Mei and Mu Wang met in Chunfeng Building, Liu Mei returned late, and there were rumors that the two had an affair with each other. Rui Wang had a hot temper and beat Liu Mei, and the family conflicts deepened. Liu Mei and Mu Wang complained. Contradictions between people gradually became acute, and everyone in the capital knew about the commotion in the past six months. At this time, Liu Mei was pregnant, but King Rui thought the child belonged to King Mu. On the day of King Zhao's birthday banquet, there were rumors in the palace that King Mu and Liu Mei were hanging out in the backyard of the palace. Hearing the news, the two kings were furious, and finally the two kings and one concubine fell into the frozen lake and drowned."

Yun Buhui was startled when he heard that, King Mu, King Rui, and King Zhao are three princes with foreign surnames in the Southern Kingdom. The three have always been at odds. No one wants to win the world. The conflict between the three is not a matter of one day, and it has long been unsolvable. .Recently, it was rumored that King Zhao and King Mu were getting close. King Rui had a bad temper and made things difficult for King Zhao many times. The king is a bastard, unworthy of a big responsibility. This incident happened at the end of November. During those few days, King Zhao was obviously in a bad mood. His life experience was a major pain point for King Zhao, and he hated others mentioning it the most.

Now following the birthday banquet, he thought it was not surprising that King Rui was excluded, and his military power would fall into his hands. He started planning to deal with King Rui and King Mu, and wooing King Mu is just a deception. His ultimate goal is to get rid of them and completely control the three kings' 40 troops.

Liu Mei is the best fuse, Yun Buhui thought, the deaths of King Rui and King Mu are very strange, but who cares now, anyway, they are dead, there is no proof of death, and the dignitaries saw them fighting again, once they die, soldiers and horses They all fell into the hands of King Zhao. He now has at least 40 horses, which is equivalent to all the soldiers and horses in the four counties.

Pretend to win over, fight against the enemy together, sow discord, create chaos, kill people with a knife... What a perfect plan, from half a year ago to now, step by step, he patiently waited for the perfect ending.

In the end everything went as he wished, Zhao Wang is a terrible man.

Yun Buhui frowned suddenly, "What happened to those princes?"

Beitang Zhennan looked at Cheng Mubai with a sneer, and he said, "Today King Zhao brought King Xuan out of prison on his birthday, because King Xuan had an old friend who met him, and the condition for him to help King Zhao is to meet King Xuan, and King Zhao agreed The king of Zhao wanted to kill four birds with one stone and kill the prince and the two young masters. The prince lived up to the prince's expectations and really came. It's just that he didn't expect that King Mu and King Rui would come. It was an accident, so the princes did not do anything but kept creating chaos, while rescuing King Xuan, they took advantage of the chaos and killed the three princes, blaming King Zhao, and none of the two young masters of the Cheng family, the prince of Beijun, and King Xuan escaped from the palace."

Yun Buhui looked at Cheng Mubai in shock, she didn't seem to expect Cheng Mubai to be so vicious.

Cheng Mubai said, "Only when the three princes die, will the four counties raise their troops."

Yun Buhui didn't know that King Zhao sent the princes of the four counties to Beijing as hostages, and he didn't want their lives. He just wanted them to restrain the four counties. The princes of the four counties were originally unwilling to raise troops. The four counties unite together to fight against the enemy.

Zhao Wang had Zhang Liang's plan, and Cheng Mubai also had a wall ladder.

Zhao Wang got all the soldiers and horses of the three kings as he wished, and Cheng Mubai also got the four counties to fight against the enemy together as he wished.

Fighting wits and courage, each wins.

Cheng Mubai looked at Beitang Zhennan, "Which side are you on?"

Beitang Zhennan said, "My lord, if there was no life between the King of Zhao and me, I'm afraid I would have been loyal to him long ago. Now I stand by and watch, no matter who of you takes the world, I will either still be the prime minister under one person, or Resigning from office and returning to the field, there is no worse choice, so why should I choose which side to stand on?"

Lin Wan'er looked nervously at Beitang Zhennan, but did not persuade him.

Yun Buhui thought to himself, the battle of wits and courage among men is really very different from the methods women use in the small courtyard, this is Wang Jianwang's dead end, everyone is ruthless, non-toxic and not husband.

Zhao Wang's face is cold and cruel, but in fact, Cheng Mubai is also the same.

At the end of December, the four counties raised troops and attacked the capital in four directions. Cheng Mubai went to the North County in person and led 15 troops from the North County. Personally train soldiers and fortify defenses.

There are 12 Zhao family troops in Ningzhou. When Beijun did not send troops to the north, King Zhao secretly used Yunyao Airlines to transport 6 troops. Now Ningzhou has 18 soldiers and horses stationed. , When they reached the fifth main city, the two armies confronted each other for eighteen days and could not attack for a long time.Starting from the fifth city is the top priority of Ningzhou Thirteen Cities.

The first month is almost over, and the battle has started fiercely.

Yun Buhui didn't return to Fengcheng, she was still in the capital, and King Zhao didn't go to Ningzhou, it seemed that he didn't think Cheng Mubai was worth leading the army himself, and a few generals under him could beat Cheng Mubai back.

The emperor's body was getting worse day by day, Yun Buhui heard Zhao Wang said that he couldn't last long, but he finally held on, although he didn't improve, but he didn't take his last breath, the situation was tense, and Zhao Wang didn't kill him. After the king ascended the throne, he still oversees the country and controls everything in the southern country.

Yun Buhui couldn't leave, King Xuan, Cheng Youtian and Cheng Mudong were all in the cell.

She begged Zhao Wang for a month, and Zhao Wang said, "Come with me to watch a plum blossom, and I will let you see them."

"Okay!" Yun Buhui readily agreed.

The plum blossoms in the first month have not yet bloomed, and the plum blossoms in the Wangfu are very beautiful. It is the first time for Yun Buhui to enter the Wangfu. The place is full of plum blossoms, which can't be seen at a glance. The flowers are raining and blooming enchantingly.The housekeeper of the palace happily told Buhui that every plum tree here was planted by King Zhao himself.

She had to admit that the plum blossoms in Prince Zhao's Mansion were more gorgeous than Lou's and Prince Xuan's.

No matter how much fighting is going on outside, the capital is still bustling.

"Does it look good?" Zhao Wang asked, in a good mood.

Yun Buhui nodded, "It's beautiful, this is the most beautiful plum blossom forest I've ever seen."

Zhao Wang said, "You must hate me very much. Look at you, you smile so forcedly."

Yun Buhui smiled wryly, "I don't hate you, I just feel sad and helpless about this situation. I hope to do something for you, but I find that I can't do anything."
