From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 690 Expedition Four

Now that she has no confidence, she must have confidence. In the face of unchangeable things, she can't hold her son back, let alone let him go out and worry about his family.So, Bai Yulan stopped crying, she nodded heavily and said, "Okay, okay, mother trusts you, mother is waiting for you to come back at home."

After finishing speaking, she raised her head and held her daughter's hand. Bai Yulan said guiltily, "Even though mother is in the capital, she can't help you. You have to be careful about everything and take good care of your two children. Mother doesn't ask you what to do." So, I just ask you to spend your days safely in this harem."

When the imperial decree arrived at home, she was stupefied. She didn't want her daughter to enter the harem, so she begged everywhere, but the emperor insisted on going his own way and decided on the Zongzhenghoufu like crazy.She had no choice and was powerless to fight, she could only watch her daughter enter the harem helplessly.

What kind of place is the harem? It is a place where people can eat people without spitting out their bones.In the first year of her wedding, she could barely sleep at night, worrying about her daughter day and night, for fear that she would offend the emperor and confront the concubines if she got angry.

Fortunately, her daughter is good-natured, gentle and doesn't fight with others, and the emperor is very satisfied with her and is willing to support her, so she gradually feels relieved.Although there were some unsatisfactory times later, they passed through safely, and with the birth of the seventh prince, she can be regarded as a secure seat.

As the children grew up and left her one by one, she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and feel at ease, but this thought caused another disturbance, and this time, it was because her son had completely offended the emperor and implicated her daughter.I'm sorry, I'm sorry again, but they're a family, one prospers and one loses.

Only by adopting a child can one know the kindness of parents, and the empress Zongzheng Wanyin who has two children knows her mother's kindness very well.Signaling for Lushui to bring in the water, she wrung the handkerchief herself, and while wiping her face, she said softly, "You think too much about Mrs. Pei's sudden death, don't you know who your daughter is? Who can bully me. Besides, there is Lushui and the others here, they will do their best to help me. Mom, you are just too tired recently, so go home and take a hot bath before asking Mingzhen to buy it for you Some delicious food, don’t you like to drink, I left you a jar of pear blossoms.”

The wine brought in as a tribute from other countries is not strong, with a light smell of pear blossoms, very delicious.

Speaking of wine, Magnolia smiled, rubbed her nose and said, "I'm like a child, I'm still greedy when I'm old, and I want my son to buy it. If it spreads, I don't want it."

"Why not? I want to eat but I can't eat it. Yuzhi, go and get the sesame balls I made this morning. The old lady loves it the most. Take it home for her." Throwing the handkerchief into the water, Zongzheng Wanyin helped her Seeing Bai Yulan get up, while helping Lu Shui to change her clothes, she continued: "Mother, let's go to Prince Liang's Mansion in a few days, the emperor is currently in a fit of anger, and he is looking for bad luck for the Mei family. , if you go, I’m afraid there will be troubles again. Wait until the Chinese New Year, every family will leave relatives without paying attention, and you can meet them at palace banquets, so you can talk to her well then, okay?"

If it was in the past, she would definitely not be allowed to go, but the younger brother's departure from Beijing is too sudden.She was nervous, and her father's death also brought her a devastating blow and left an indelible shadow in her heart.Therefore, she didn't dare to say it directly, so she could only discuss it with her.

To be honest, Bai Yulan wanted to see Mei Xin very much now, and wanted to explain to her clearly about the Pei family, but she couldn't.Thinking that the Emperor Longyan was furious and this matter involved a lot, she agreed, and after she changed her clothes and took the sesame balls, she went out of the palace and went home.

Because King Huai of Chu was as powerful as a broken bamboo, the emperor was a little anxious, and the empress dowager was fighting with him in the palace. There were many discussions all over the world saying that he came to the throne incorrectly, so he gritted his teeth in hatred and vowed to kill King Huai of Chu.Therefore, the imperial decree ordered Zongzheng Mingzhen to set off early in the morning two days later to go to the mandala to rehabilitate the chaos.

Time was tight, and during the mission, the capital city was thousands of miles away from the mandala. Zongzheng Mingzhen began to pick people non-stop after receiving the imperial decree and military talisman.During this trip, the emperor gave him a hundred guards, and the other 100 people asked him to go to the Gyeonggi Guards to choose.

Picking people is a meticulous job, especially in the Gyeonggi Guards where there are many sons and sons who are just waiting to die, they have no real skills, and they all rely on their ancestors to fill in the gaps.However, fortunately, he was acquainted with Feng Wuzheng and had memories of his previous life, so it took him a whole night to finally gather 100 people.

On his side, he was busy going around in the capital, but it was a different scene for Mei Xin in the hot spring resort.

At noon on the sixth day of December, Mei Xin received the news that Zongzheng Mingzhen did not have a big wedding. She learned that Mrs. Pei had passed away, and Miss Pei left Beijing today for the funeral. .

She should be happy but she doesn't know why she is not happy, on the contrary, she has mixed feelings in her heart and can't tell what it feels like.

Last night, with the help of Anshenxiang, she slept soundly and had no dreams, but she was still unhappy when she woke up in the morning.Even though she didn't show it, the people around her still felt it, and Luo Qiu racked her brains to tell her jokes and books she had read.

From the beginning to the end, she didn't listen to a word, and she didn't respond in any way. Her mind went blank as if she was stupid.Maybe she misunderstood Zongzheng Mingzhen, or maybe he already had a countermeasure, but what does that have to do with me?

Didn't I agree to keep the distance and return to the original state, why did I sit stupidly for a day?
"Major General, Major General, are you listening?" Tilting her head and raising her voice, San Niang stepped forward and waved her hand in front of Mei Xin.Seeing that her eyes were blank and slightly startled, she immediately reported: "Besides this, another major event happened in the capital. Sister Jianchun, who is next to Concubine Rong, also sent a message, and I also invite the Major General decide."

Returning to her senses, she was a little sorry, Mei Xin sat up straight and pulled the cloak on her body and said, "What's the matter, let's talk."

Influenced by Zongzheng Mingzhen, she tends to lose her mind recently, and she doesn't know where her mind wanders when she is sitting alone.

Bending down, she pulled the blanket up to cover her legs. Sanniang said, "King Huai of Chu raised his troops all the way to the mandala, and the local army rebelled. .”

With a bang, the teacup in Mei Xin's hand fell to the table, and the water splashed everywhere, and the teacup fell down, startling Luoqiu.Thinking that the tea was too hot, she immediately asked Bai Zhi to take the medicine, then poured some cold water into the bowl and pressed Mei Xin's finger into it: "Osmanthus osmanthus, why pour hot tea for the eldest princess? Didn't you say it should be warm? Is it?"
