Daiyu returned to the Marquis of Yongding, but her red and swollen cheeks frightened Jin'er and others who came out to greet her.Grandma Sun immediately lost her temper. Nanny Tang, who followed Daiyu into the palace, asked sharply with red eyes and staring eyes, "How could this happen?!" Waiting for Mother Tang to explain.

Daiyu shook her head lightly and said, "Let's go in and talk about it." She nodded to Jin'er and the others.He turned back and pulled Nanny Tang's hand, and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Seeing this, Mother Tang was both moved and ashamed.After all, no matter what, the princess sent herself to the county lord's side just to take care of the county lord.Now the county owner was not only slapped in the face in front of him, but was even slapped later.Nanny Tang also felt a burning pain on her face.

But what happened after Daiyu left with Fuquan, she didn't know.Coming back from the palace, the empress’s people were all around her all the way, and Madam Tang didn’t want to ask too many questions, but this was not the right time, so she said urgently with red eyes, “Quick, take the ice pack and go to the county magistrate.” In the house."

As soon as Grandma Sun came back to her senses, she quickly nodded and said: "Yes, go and get the ice bag." While talking, she hugged Daiyu and went to the main room with everyone.

Back in the inner courtyard, Jin'er boiled ice for Daiyu, and couldn't help asking, "Girl yesterday..." Before Jin'er could finish speaking, Daiyu waved her off.

Naturally, Daiyu would not reveal a single word of what happened in the palace, and even scolded in a cold voice: "No one is allowed to mention this matter again! From now on, thank guests behind closed doors!" After finishing speaking Daiyu paused for a moment, then told Nanny Sun: "Grandma Sun finds some fruits and asks Shinan to send them to the Huang Mansion, and also send a letter to my brother, don't go anywhere these days!"

Not to mention Nanny Sun who was named by Daiyu, even Nanny Tang, who is used to seeing big scenes, felt tense, remembering that before the Holy Majesty ascended the throne, the princess also closed the door to thank guests like this, she couldn't help saying: "The county lord... ..." As soon as she said those two words, Nanny Tang covered her mouth, and Daiyu stared at her with stern eyes.

This kind of Daiyu reminded Grandma Sun inexplicably of that night when she kept her filial piety in Gusu, the little Daiyu also had such stern and cold eyes, she shrank her shoulders, and hurriedly replied: "The old servant will go and order. "After speaking, she hurriedly replaced Madam Tang to make ice for Daiyu, while she turned around and left the room quickly.

After Sun Nanny left, Daiyu waved her hand and said, "It's fine if there are Tang Nanny and Zhixuan here, let's all go away." After she finished speaking, she looked at Jin'er, and said with a gentle smile, "Sister Jin'er also Don't worry."

Seeing this, Jin'er held back no matter how many doubts she had in her heart, nodded, and led An'er and the others back out.

While Daiyu waited anxiously, a few days passed quickly, and the court finally spread the news that the king of Nan'an County was defeated and captured, and Cheng Engong died on the spot!The counties along the South China Sea were occupied by Qianxiang.

When Daiyu received the news, Mo Xuan and others had already entered the territory of Hebei and were rushing to the capital full of joy.Unexpectedly, before he entered Beijing, he received an imperial decree: Cheng Engong was killed in battle!Mo Xuan's face turned pale instantly, and he froze on the spot.

Although he has had very little contact with Cheng Engong in the past ten years, but the nature of blood relationship still makes Mo Xuan feel that it is difficult to breathe for a moment, and tears flow down involuntarily.

Mo Xuan didn't remember Cheng Engong's appearance clearly, but every word he said, at this moment, kept echoing in his ears.

Song Shi was also anxious, even out of breath, but in front of Mo Xuan, it was hard to reveal anything.Seeing that Mo Xuan's expression was different, he nodded to the person who delivered the decree, patted Mo Xuan on the shoulder and said, "It's a big deal, let's talk about it when we return to Beijing, but it's useless to talk about it now."

Mo Xuan came back to his senses, nodded, rubbed his face and said: "The wind and sand are a bit heavy." After saying that, he got on his horse.Song Shi and the others naturally knew that Mo Xuan was just covering up for themselves, but they didn't show it. They got on their horses and galloped across the capital.

Song Shi and Mo Xuan's party broke up in front of the city gate, Mo Xuan directly followed the servant who came to deliver the decree, and entered the palace, while Song Shi went to Daiyu's Zhuangzi outside the city.When Song Shi learned that Daiyu had returned to Yongding Hou's Mansion, he felt relieved, and hurried to the city again, almost missing the time to enter the city.

Daiyu was very happy to see Song Shi coming, and specially entertained him in the flower hall, and asked about Qiluo's situation in the northwest.

When Song Shi came, he heard Lin De say that the Marquis of Yongding had closed its doors to thank guests a few days ago, and wondered if Daiyu had received the news of Cheng Engong's death in battle, so he didn't say much, and looked carefully at Daiyu's expression.

Although Daiyu didn't have any sadness on her face, she saw that Daiyu was wearing a moon-white hang silk shirt, only embroidered the swastika with the same color thread on the neckline, and she was wearing a moon-white plain brocade skirt with a sky-blue edge. But it is full of embroidered white peonies.On the head is also a rice bead flower hairpin to fix the bun, and there are no other accessories.

Song Shi knew Daiyu in his heart, and Daiyu must have known about it a long time ago, so he didn't mention it anymore.I only asked about the recent situation in Fuchu.

Song Shi didn't mention it, and Daiyu naturally didn't want to mention it, after all, although the marriage was suddenly granted by the Holy One, this marriage contract couldn't be rejected by herself.And when she heard that Cheng Engong was killed in battle, Daiyu's first thought was: "It's okay!" She felt a little ashamed in her heart, and she was even more afraid that someone would mention "Cheng Engong", "Mo Xuan" and "Blessing" in front of her. Marriage" and other words.

But Daiyu really didn't want to get married so early, it's always good to have a buffer of three years of filial piety, but she thought of Tanchun's distant marriage, and wanted to help her, but she always had no chance.

Song Dynasty did not mention the death of Cheng Engong, but he still asked about the matter of the Holy Majesty's marriage: "The Holy Majesty's marriage is such a big event, I don't know if it is the princess who asked for it? Or Master Huang? Or the Holy Majesty?" What do you mean?"

Daiyu panicked in her heart and said: "It should be, it's the Holy Majesty's own intention... The master didn't mention it to me before, and even the empress didn't mention it."

Song Shi frowned after hearing this, but when he thought of Mo Xuan's cheerful expression when he just received the order, and the urgency along the way, he felt relieved and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, girl, don't think too much about it. Old slave..."

Before Song Shi finished speaking, Daiyu interrupted: "Uncle Song, don't call yourself an 'old slave'! When my father was alive, he regarded you as a sibling, and Yu'er has always regarded you as an elder. Besides, Uncle Song has never Been in slavery!"

Looking at Daiyu as if she was a child, she pouted.Staring, clearly out of good intentions, he had to put on a relentless look, Song Shi couldn't help laughing and said: "The girl is still the same as when she was a child." When he said this, Song Shi himself didn't notice, he looked at Daiyu's His gaze is much more loving.

Originally, Song Shi was supposed to stay in the guest room, but Song Shi insisted on living in his original house when he learned that no one lived in his original house.

Looking at the empty houses, Song Shi couldn't help recalling the heyday of the Lin Mansion, when there were so many servants and so many friends, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Lin De came over and saw this and smiled, "Uncle Song, what's the matter?" Song Shi turned around and saw Lin De with a smile and said, "Your boy is getting better and better now!"But Linde said with a smile: "That can't be compared with Brother Zhao."

Song Shi shook his head and smiled, but didn't answer the conversation. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "What's the matter with your father? Any news?"

Lin De chuckled and said, "I'm afraid Uncle Song doesn't know. If you go to the city tomorrow, you may still meet my father and others." Hearing this, Song Shi asked excitedly, "So your father is also coming to Beijing. gone?"

Song Shi's eyes were full of surprises, but Lin De shook his head and was about to ask, when he heard Lin De very proudly said: "Uncle and my father went to Beijing together, and the son and daughter-in-law of the Lin clan chief and others, said yes Instead of the Lin family, he sent the girl to marry."

When Song Shi heard that Lin Zhong was coming to Beijing, he asked happily, "Is this true?" Lin De said in a low voice, "Young lady doesn't know about this. I received the letter a while ago, and my father told me to accept it." Don't tell the girl, say it's a surprise for the girl."

Song Shi burst out laughing when he heard it, and patted Linde on the shoulder cheerfully and said, "Come on, it's getting late, you should go and have a rest, the brothers and sisters have a good get-together tomorrow." .” After speaking, Song Shi turned around and entered the yard.Lin De sighed, "It's a pity that Uncle Zhang is not here..." Before finishing speaking, he muttered: "Brother Zhang and Brother Zhao are not here either..."

At this time, the imperial study room was still lit. The emperor sat behind the imperial case, looking at Mo Xuan who had matured a lot after several months of experience, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Just over a month ago, I bestowed a marriage on him and summoned him to come back to get married. At this time, I had just arrived in the city, but there was another incident about Nanhai Yanzi.But Mo Xuan also fell silent after hearing the news about the First Prince.

Now the eldest prince is heaving a sigh of relief relying on Huang Jiyun's acupuncture, but when he will let it go, it is hard to tell... Mo Xuan looked at the emperor who was much older and his temples were weathered, but he didn't know what to say it is good.

I remembered the empress's sallow face, gray hair, and red and swollen eyes when she went to Kunning Palace to ask to see the empress.After experiencing the first prince's poisoning and unconsciousness, and bearing the death of her brother... At this time, how can the queen have the grace and luxury of a queen?

The emperor and Mo Xuan sat opposite each other for a long time, until the emperor took a sip of the tea cup habitually, only to realize that the tea had cooled completely at some point.Looking at the dark night outside the window, the emperor said wearily: "Go back and have a look. If you can't find the body, maybe you can only build a clothes tomb."

When Mo Xuan heard the emperor talking about this matter, he didn't know how to express it, so he nodded and said: "I think my brother will take care of it." After speaking, Mo Xuan paused and asked: "His Royal Highness... "

Mo Xuan had just finished speaking these words, when Mo Xuan saw the emperor looking up sharply, his heart skipped a beat, but he still asked: "I don't know how the investigation is going? I, I, I don't know if I can go and have a look Your Highness, after all we grew up together..." After finishing speaking, Mo Xuan didn't dare to look into the emperor's eyes, and lowered his head slightly.The emperor closed his eyes noncommittal.
