Snowy Chang'an Road

Because of the turmoil in the past two days, Wei Yuan was worried that trouble would happen again and ordered Wei Huan to handle the matter as quickly as possible.

After the mission was completed, Ba and Yitu did not stay too long. After the marriage arrangements in Chang'an were ready, they set off to leave Chang'an.

Everything has a beginning and an end. Wei Shao and Pei Ying said goodbye to Ba and Yitu outside the city gate before leaving.

"Yunrou, bring the gift I prepared."

Yunrou stepped forward and handed the wooden box to Pei Ying.

"General, do you still remember the Yaliu County we went to a few days ago?"

"nature."

"Yaliu County is backed by mountains and is rich in jade minerals. The jade seal used by the previous emperor was made of Yaliu jade. This is my gift to Shanshan. Please pass it on to the general."

Ba Heyitu took the wooden box and said, "Thank you, Princess, I will deliver it to you. Does the Princess have anything else to say to your sister?"

Pei Ying thought for a moment and said, "Let her take care of herself and we will see you again in the future if we are destined."

"it is good."

Bahe Yitu walked at the front of the team, followed by a mighty procession of sending off brides and dowry carriages and horses. The north was still desolate at this time, and in the cold wind and bleakness, they embarked on the road north. Some people were happy and some were sad.

Until the wedding team disappeared from sight, Pei Ying still stood there in a daze.

Seeing her looking into the distance, Wei Shao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"What are you thinking about?"

"nothing."

"Go back home."

"it is good."

This result undoubtedly satisfied everyone. After the marriage, the relationship between the court and the harem of Wei Dynasty seemed to be peaceful, but some changes seemed to have occurred.

First, after this incident, the division of power in the court became more obvious.

Second, Wei Yuan's health is getting better day by day. The throne that was once within easy reach for Wei Huan now seems to be far away.

Third, both Ban Miao and Bo Ji have experienced changes in their hearts.

Fourth, Pei Ying's heart also changed.

In Weiyang Palace, Wei Yuan sat at the table and reviewed the memorial, while Deng Shou was waiting on him.

If we talk about feelings alone, the relationship between Wei Yuan and Deng Shou is the deepest. However, due to many things, the two gradually became alienated, but the foundation of their feelings still exists.

The two of them stayed quietly like this, without saying a word. Deng Shou studied ink and poured tea for Wei Yuan, while Wei Yuan watched the memorial intently.

"Shou'er."

Deng Shou didn't expect that Wei Yuan would call her that. She probably hadn't heard this title for nearly ten years. Over the years, he had always called her Mrs. Deng.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Even though Wei Yuan deliberately brought the two of them closer, Deng Shou still distanced them with the words "Your Majesty."

"Shao'er is a good boy, and Pei Ying is also a good daughter-in-law. I can recover this time, both of them are indispensable."

"They are all His Majesty's sons and ministers, and this is their responsibility."

"That's wrong. I'm not the only one with these two children, but I don't see anyone who cares about my health as much as they do." "As long as Your Majesty is in good health, it will be a blessing to the Wei Dynasty."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan reached out and took Deng Shou's hand that was studying ink. Deng Shou was stunned.

"I've suffered a lot from you these past years."

Deng Shou suddenly felt a sore nose, and then tears seemed to burst out of her eyes, but she held back the tears and did not speak.

If Pei Ying was in this kind of atmosphere, she would most likely say that her belated concern is worthless than grass, but Deng Shou would not. She was imprisoned by feudal ideas, and faced her husband's sudden tenderness, she remained unmoved on the surface. , In fact, my heart has already been moved, not to mention that this husband is still the king of the world.

"I will go to your palace tonight."

Deng Shou said "hmm", and after Wei Yuan stretched out his hand, she continued to grind ink and pour tea.

It seems that people are like this. After experiencing life and death, they can see many things clearly. They were originally discarded like worn out shoes, but now they are regarded as treasures.

This is especially true for Wei Yuan as an emperor. When his health deteriorates and he may even end his life at any time, people around him are ready to move and compete for power. At this time, only Wei Shao, his son, and Pei Ying, his daughter-in-law, care about his health. The pills Pei Yingjin presented to him restored his vitality, and a huge change occurred in his heart.

Such changes also appeared in Changle Palace.

Since Kuai Tong's death, Ban Miao has been normal on the surface, maintaining the grace and dignity that a queen should have. But whenever no one is around, her twisted heart and ferocious face clearly reflect the hatred in her heart. .

In the entire harem, the person who looked forward to Wei Yuan's death the most was Ban Miao.

For her own sake, she had lived with this ruthless emperor for almost twenty years, and she had already had enough.

For Kuai Tong, her true beloved, she must kill Wei Yuan, the murderer.

For the sake of her son, the kingdom of Wei belongs to his son, and she herself will definitely be the most noble woman in the entire Wei dynasty.

For the sake of power, Wei Huan was young and very afraid of her, and she was easy to control. She only needed to be the invisible big hands behind Wei Huan, and she could easily control the entire Wei Dynasty in her hands.

For a woman in the palace who has not been cared for all year round, power is her best tonic.

But now, Wei Yuan's body was gradually getting better, which made her feel very painful, as if a duck that was cooked to its mouth suddenly flew away.

A new plan began to brew in her mind.

In Liuguang Palace, after the marriage, Bo Ji saw the relationship between the great Wei court and the court more clearly.

The factions between counselors and civil servants seemed to be distinct, but in fact they were criss-crossed. She originally thought that some ministers were among the civil servants, but they remained neutral on this matter, while some ministers among the counselors were in secret contact with them. provide support.

Before, she seemed to have oversimplified the factions in the court, but now it gradually became clearer. However, this was not the most important thing. She found that her actual control over destiny was far less than she thought.

This time, His Majesty took the advice of the King of Peiping and sent the daughter of the clan to marry, so that his daughter could escape the catastrophe. But what if it happens again?

The feeling that her fate was not in her own hands suffocated her.

But how can we control our destiny as much as possible in our own hands?

Bo Ji raised her head and looked at Wei Xiao, who was eating cakes not far away.

In the Prince's Mansion of Peiping, Wei Shao and Pei Ying returned to the mansion, stayed with their grandfather for a while, and then returned to the room.

"Wei Shao, you were born into a royal family. Have you ever thought about competing for the throne?"

Wei Shao thought his ears had heard wrongly. He raised his head and looked at Pei Ying in disbelief.

"Do you want to fight for the throne?"

Pei Ying repeated it again, and then Wei Shao heard the words clearly. He stared at Pei Ying without saying a word.
