A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 87 Forbidden Court (87)
It rains and is promiscuous, and it is sad and thoughtful; the river is deep and deep, and it cannot be communicated; the sunrise is careful, and the heart has the will to die. (2)
"Where did the husband who loved me before go?" She said sadly, "My husband is the best husband. I used to tell him what was on my mind. He used to be the person I trusted the most. But now... I no longer I recognize Mr.

Speaking of this, he was also very sad.When a person has no obsession, he can have a breeze in his sleeves.Once you can't ask for it, it's another matter.He looked down at her, and said sadly: "Blame this world, blame me for being controlled by others, so I think it's a good thing for Yin Zhongyuan to unify the world. The Central Plains needs a rogue overlord, let him sit high above the country, and I will not be an enemy of him. I just want to live a peaceful life and be with my beloved." He smiled, "Maybe you will say that I am shameless, but am I greedy if I give up and change you?"

She almost sympathized with him, "I've already married him, so it's greed for you to take away his wife's room. Mister was originally a learned person, and a gentleman has the beauty of being an adult. Can you still be considered a gentleman now?"

He quietly listened to her complaint, and after listening, he was still not moved, "If I wasn't a gentleman, you might have accepted your fate by now."

There was a knock on the door behind him, and he turned around to see that the doctor in the shop had prepared the medicine.He thanked him and took it, and patiently blew it cold for her, then handed it back to her and said, "It's more bitter when it's cold, drink it while it's hot, it's good for the child."

She didn't answer, and looked down, "What kind of medicine is this?"

His face was reflected in the thick concoction, cold and pale.He paused for a moment, "You have an unstable pregnancy and need anti-abortion medicine. This is an anti-abortion medicine."

She thought he was dark, neither happy nor sad, very ordinary appearance.In the past, she would drink it without even thinking about it, but not now.She knew how important this child was, and she wanted to keep him until the day she returned to the official family.

She pressed her hands tightly on her lower abdomen, "My own body counts, so I don't need to take medicine. The doctor also said just now that medicine is not as good as food. If I eat well, the child will be fine."

He frowned, with a flash of hatred in his eyes, and said coldly: "Take medicine to ensure the safety of the child in your womb. It is the best policy to supplement with food after taking medicine. The doctor also said that the fetus is unstable. Why don't you listen?"

Seeing his appearance, he was very angry, but whether it was because he was worried about her health or because she refused to take the medicine, I don't know.

She pursed her lips and leaned against the bed frame, turned her face away and said: "Sir, I must drink it, it's not impossible, first take the dregs of the medicine for me to see."

He became angry for a moment, "What do you mean?"

She was not afraid of offending him, so she told him straightforwardly, "I can't trust sir, because this is a child of the official family, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to treat him as his own."

Standing there, with her unmasked mask, he felt embarrassed.She is no longer that simple-minded child, she learns step by step, and she is strong if she is a real mother.Before, she was still lamenting that he had changed, but now she herself is still different!
He put the medicine on the desk, "I really don't want to drink it, and I won't force you, but if the child makes a mistake, don't blame others." After speaking, he walked away.

Seeing that he was gone, Zonghua was relieved, struggled to get up and shut the door, then looked back at the medicine, picked it up and poured it into the soil of the potted plant.It's best not to contaminate things that are in doubt. The child is in her stomach, and if you don't use those drugs, even if something goes wrong, you will die.But if she drank the medicine and lost the child for no reason, how could she be worthy of the officials?
She staggered back onto the bed and put her hands on her stomach.The lower abdomen is flat. It has only been more than a month. It is no different from usual, but I am happy in my heart.Now she has nothing but this child, take good care of him, the official will be very happy when she sees him... I don't know what is going on with him now, he will guard Bianliang one day before he wins Jian'an.Although people are alive, they are sometimes entangled in such mundane affairs.She was even a little afraid that he would give up if he couldn't find her.If so, what should she do?It has been more than ten days since I was separated from him, and when I miss him, it is the most unbearable torture in the world.In fact, she had thought about running away many times, but she lost Chunwo that time she broke out from Yaohua Palace, only ten miles away from the imperial city, and met Deng Tuzi on the way.If it falls into the hands of others after getting rid of Cui Zhutiao, the consequences will be even more disastrous.

At least now he hasn't forced her, which can be assured.It's just that she still feels very scared. If she doesn't know tomorrow today, if she loses her footing, she may be lost forever.

She had carefully considered that even if she returned to Jian'an, she would not be able to show her face before the imperial city was broken.Although the mother and younger brother need to be saved, the husband should not be in a dilemma.Half of the country of Sui has already fallen, and no matter how hard it is to hold on, it will be nothing but lingering.This terminally ill body can't last long, and it will always be someone else's meal in the end.She only hopes that the official will come soon, come soon... Even if she is selfish, she won't last long.

The full moon hung in the sky, making people flustered.

The Chizhou county government office was captured by the Yue army earlier, and the front hall was in a mess. Fortunately, the backyard was tidied up, so it can still be used.

Lujing held the hot soup and looked forward, standing alone on the steps, the black satin under the reflection of the moonlight, giving off a blue and swirling halo.The wind blows the tassels on the crown, lifts them up high, and flies gracefully.There he is like a tall tower, full of vicissitudes and sadness.

Lu Jing sighed, recently the officials have developed a habit, they are less talkative than before, they are alone and do not need anyone to accompany them.In his heart, apart from the queen, there is no one else worth talking to!He walked over, served tea soup, and said in a low voice: "It's getting deeper and the dew is heavy, the officials please rest earlier. Let's go straight to Jian'an tomorrow, shall we join the army?"

He hummed, "That Sun Ying who defends the city is a brave general. We need to deal with him as soon as possible so that we can break through Jian'an in one fell swoop."

Lu Jing said: "There are so many people in Jian'an City. If the supply is cut off, it will not last long. In the end, people cannibalize people, and the city will collapse without attack."

He glanced at him, "How can I wait until then?" He took a sip of the tea soup, handed the cup back, turned around and said, "I will leave at five o'clock tomorrow, and make plans when I get to the army."

Holding the teacup, Lu Jing was dazed, knowing that he was in a hurry, and only after the city was broken could he reunite with the queen.Calculated by their footsteps, they should be ahead of Cui Zhutiao, but none of them could enter the city, they were all wandering outside, there were so many people and the place was so wide, it was inevitable that they might miss it.Therefore, it is still necessary to capture Jian'an early. After the capture, the gates of the city will be opened wide. Cui Zhuzi must not have expected that the officials will put down Bianliang and rush to Jian'an.Once the net is set up, Cui can't escape even if he has wings.The people below also prayed to God and worshiped Buddha every day, hoping that the officials would find the queen sooner. First, it would relieve the official's lovesickness.

So from Bianliang to Chizhou, it only took eight days to hurry.It will take at most three or four days to travel from Chizhou to Jian'an.This road was frosty and snowy, and the wind and electricity were so fast that he couldn't even open his eyes. Ban Zhi, who was used to beating, couldn't stand it, but the officials didn't complain.No matter how hard it is to think about it, there is nothing more painful than being separated from the queen. It is a great risk to take more than 20 people on the road at this time.Missing someone to the point of sacrificing one's life and forgetting to die, and this kind of thing still happens to officials, who would have imagined it!
Running all the way, the horseshoes raised dust all over the sky on the loess road.After arriving outside Jian'an City, General Fuyuan and You Servant She, who accompanied the army, had received secret orders and waited on the official road for a long time.Seeing a group of people rushing forward, squinting their eyes for a long time, the leader can be recognized at a glance even though his face is covered.Busily lifted his robe and knelt down to receive him, the person immediately turned over, untied the silk tie at the back of his head, and casually threw the silver silk mask to the right servant She Longshao.

"How long has it been since the siege?"

Long Shao sighed and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, today is the seventh day."

He turned his eyes and glanced at the general Yuan Shuzu, "I have attacked three times, but all ended in failure. You are a good general."

Yuan Shuzu was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask Longshao for help. He just stared at his toes and said, "I'm incompetent. Please punish me. But please listen to my words. The moat in Jian'an is very deep. I sent someone to measure it. Zhang. Right now it is mid-winter. Although the water in the south is frozen, the ice layer is too thin. It is difficult to cross the river. In addition, Jian'an City Tower is much higher than Bianliang, and the city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Every time he was blocked by the Sui army... The minister and Prime Minister Long discussed several countermeasures, but because of His Majesty's sacred order when going out, he did not dare to act rashly for fear of hurting the people in the city. Now that His Majesty is here, I ask His Majesty to make a decision. "

He hurried forward at his feet and observed the city tower across the river. The city gate was closed tightly, and the iron chains retracted the huge suspension bridge. Jian'an City was like an isolated island. The army wanted to capture it, and there was not even a place to plug in.

"Send people to investigate within a radius of ten miles to see if there is a secret road leading to the city." He frowned and ordered, then turned around and asked, "Since the siege, have you found anyone coming in and out?"

Yuan Shuzu cupped his hands and said, "You can't even fly in, let alone people."

Since no one came in and out, it proved that the queen had not entered the city yet, so there was no need to be so taboo.He was really in a hurry, time was limited, if he wanted to not hurt the people in the city, he might have to wait for ten days and half a month.Which war of destroying the country can guarantee the best of both worlds?So it is inevitable to cause harm, because he said: "Tell me about your countermeasures."

Longshao responded, "Now there is no way to break the city. Soldiers are not tired of deceit. Since we can't attack by force, we have to find another way. It can last for two days without hunger, but people and animals can't stop drinking water for a day. There are two ways to supply water in the city. One is the well, and the other is the canal. People drink well water, but livestock may not. But start from the source of the canal. If the livestock in the city cannot be kept, the Sui army's granary will be half empty. In addition, fireballs, balls of thistle and smoke balls will be thrown with firearms. Wait, we will go around the city at the agreed time, and there will be chaos in the city."

He listened and nodded, "I have no choice but to do this." Yibi pointed to the suspension bridge hanging above the city gate, "Order people to dive there tonight and break the iron chain. There is no way out in the war, and the people in the city will die Do not know at all."

Longshao agreed with Yuan Shu Zu Nuo Nuo, and said, "Your Majesty traveled a long distance and had a hard journey. The ministers and others set up a tent for His Majesty, please rest in the tent."

He said no need, "It's enough to prepare a small tent as you like. The news of my visit cannot be leaked out. Order Chuan Mazhi to come to see me. I have important orders."

Everyone was ordered to do it separately. When Commander Ma Zhi came, he ordered him to monitor the situation around Jian'an City, in case the queen arrived suddenly, so as to get the news early.After everything was arranged properly, my heart was empty and suspended, so I stood in front of the tent and looked at it.

Seeing his appearance, the recording scene was a little worried, and he stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The official family has not had a good rest for more than ten days. Now that Jian'an City is close at hand, the official family can always be relieved. Chen Xun finished the bedding, and the official family slept for two days. An hour. You see that you have lost a lot of weight. The saint should feel distressed when he sees it. Take care of the dragon body not for yourself, but for the saint! There is no progress at the moment, and it is useless for the officials to guard it. Take a nap, and the minister will immediately Report to the officials."

He supported his forehead, and murmured to Lujing, "Where do you think the queen is now?"

Lu Jing said: "The left is just rushing here. The officials and the saints have a heart-to-heart connection. Since they have made an agreement, the saints will definitely go to the appointment. What's more, the destruction of Jian'an City is related to the lives of the Queen Mother Guo and Emperor Jian. The saints value friendship, and there will be troubles no matter what." Let Cui Zhuyan bring her to Jian'an."

"What about Cui Zhuzi? Will you listen to her?"

Lu Jing thought for a while and said: "Yes, just like the government loves the saint, if Cui Zhuzi really loves the saint, he must not refuse her." He said with a smile, "The government knows it, and the saint has this ability to make people obey. Even Officials can't blame the saint, and Cui Zhuzi probably can't."

After he finished listening, the corner of his mouth raised a rare smile.Yeah, she used to call herself flattering, inviting and scheming in a way.If Cui Zhuzhen is sincere to her, he will definitely do as she asks.Sometimes when I think about it, no matter how great a person is in governing the country, he will be confused when he meets a woman he likes.He is like this, and so is Cui Zhuzi.But he is lucky, the woman he loves also loves him, so no matter how many twists and turns and tribulations he goes through, he is not inferior to others, and he is full of confidence.

He hadn't slept fully for more than ten days. He often dreamed of her as soon as he closed his eyes, and then woke up startled, unable to sleep all night.If he can't find her again, he will become weak day by day, and his life may not be long.It's time to take a good rest for two days, recharge your batteries and wait for her to come. When she comes, tie it around your waist and never let her out of sight for a while.

The time in that small town was still quiet, and after a few days of rest, Mang Hua felt a lot more relaxed, probably the symptoms of early pregnancy have passed!Although she had occasional morning sickness, she became much more energetic and had no fever, so she asked Cui Zhutiao to go on the road.

He was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid you can't drive any further, you have to ride a horse. How can you move with such a body? The Yue army can't conquer Jian'an, and wandering outside is not an option. Or listen to me and give up. From here to the northeast is Lushan Mountain , it’s still too late to divert.”

She said no, "Sir, there is a way. Now that I am here, how can I give up halfway? I will ride a horse. I must go to Jian'an."

He fell silent, and thought for a while: "Now that the city is cut off from the outside, it may be difficult to enter the city. But I remember that when I was chatting with a city defense officer before, it was said that Chaohu Lake south of Baoan Shuimen In the temple, there is a sidewalk leading directly to the Wangxian Bridge, or you can try it there. But you have to think clearly, the child is still young, and the bumps on the horse may hurt him. Do you really just want to go to the city and don't care about the child? ?”

How do you tell her to choose?The twists and turns of fate may only be on the road to Jian'an.She gritted her teeth, "It all depends on luck, if I am lucky, I can save my mother and Gao Fei, and the baby in my arms will be safe and sound."

Seeing that she was determined, he stopped trying to dissuade her, and turned around to call the doctor, asking him to get a set of ordinary men's clothes, so that she could change into them so she could go on her way.

She tied up her hair and tied up her pant legs.After escaping from Yaohua Palace last time, I learned how to ride a horse, and now I can put it to good use.But don't run in a hurry, after all, I have to be careful with my body, it is too violent, and I am afraid that the child will do good or bad.I miss him again when I am very hard, and when I see him, I must complain about my grievances and pour out all the grievances in my heart.Of all the queens throughout the ages, which one is as ill-fated as her?Waste and waste, even if it is given to death, there is no need to suffer such a great crime.She simply fell out of favor and had no hope, but she is clearly in love with the official family, but she has to suffer such torture, why!

When the north wind blows into my eyes, it takes away the tears.The closer she was to Jian'an, the greater her hope.She even had a premonition that the official's house was not far away, and the husband and wife would be reunited soon.She grew up in Jian'an City, and she is familiar with many places, once she enters the city, she is like a fish in water, and she must have a way to get rid of Cui Zhutiao.At that time, I will find a place to hide and wait for the official family wholeheartedly.If he doesn't come for a month, wait for him for a month, if he doesn't come for a year, wait for him for a year, and one day you will be able to wait.

The canal is connected to the Qiantang River, and the tide rises and falls, or gains or loses.The Yue army threw a large amount of arsenic at the gate of the city, and the arsenic flooded into Jian'an with the tide. When the tide ebbed, many dead horses and sheep were brought out of the water.

It has been five days since the poisoning, and the people in the city and the Sui army are in panic.What I saw were only the dead bodies of livestock, and there may not have been people who were poisoned. The 20 Sui troops wanted to eat and drink in the city, and they didn't even dare to drink water easily. No matter how stubborn they were, they couldn't last for a few days.

Yue State has much more experience in combat than Sui State, which puts more emphasis on culture than military, and disturbs the enemy not once or twice. One day makes trouble here, and tomorrow makes trouble there. It looks like a big battle, but it doesn't cost much soldiers.Gradually, the Sui Army became a little impatient, and several generals stood on the tower and yelled loudly, in exchange for Yue Jun's roar of laughter.He scolded and scolded him, but he didn't respond. After laughing, he patted his butt and went back to the camp. In the middle of the night, the same trick was repeated, and the Sui army couldn't bear the disturbance.
