A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 1004 Earning Capital to Live

Xiang Lan came over, took off the phoenix crown for her, lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly: "At that moment, the servant rubbed the shoulders and necks for the empress."

Afterwards, Meng Mei leaned on the soft couch, and Xiang Lan massaged for her very gently.

Meng Mei closed her eyes and said suddenly: "Xiang Lan, how long has it been since you went back to your hometown to visit relatives?"

Xiang Lan replied, "It's been quite a few years."

Meng Mei said: "Do you want to go back, there is nothing else to do around Bengong, I can allow you to go back to your hometown to see your relatives, and reunite with them more often."

Xiang Lan didn't stop moving her hands, but said on her mouth: "Your Majesty, do you want to abandon your servants?"

Meng Mei said, "How could it be?"

Xiang Lan said: "I guess, if I really go back to my hometown to visit my relatives this time, I will probably never come back again."

Meng Mei suddenly opened her eyes, and saw through the bronze mirror over there that the expression on Xiang Lan's face didn't change much when she said this.

Meng Mei said, "Xiang Lan, what are you talking about?"

Xiang Lan also raised her head, looked at Meng Mei in the mirror, and said, "In other words, this servant will probably never come back alive, right Madam?"

Meng Mei's expression changed slightly, and she continued: "There is no other reason for this, it's just because the servants have followed the empress all the way, and know too much. Anything that the empress has done, as long as the servants shake it out, it will be set aside. The empress is in the land of the abyss."

Xiang Lan said again: "However, I would like to advise my mother, if this servant dies, someone will reveal everything that my mother has done so that the world will know."

Meng Mei's expression darkened bit by bit, becoming very scary, and said: "Xiang Lan, are you threatening me?"

Xiang Lan said: "No, the servant girl is just earning the capital to keep herself alive. After being with the empress for so long, I can't work hard in vain. I don't know how I died in the end." She looked directly at Meng Meng in the bronze mirror. Mei, "I don't want to become the second Xiangzhu. If the empress wants to kill all the slaves, the slaves will also make the empress die."

Meng Mei pursed her lips, and said for a long time: "I have to say, you've been with me for so long, you're smart."

Xianglan's eyes were slightly red, "The maid and Xiangzhu have been serving the empress since childhood. If the empress can kill her without blinking, naturally she can also kill the servant."

Meng Mei said: "I treat you like sisters, why would I want to kill you. Didn't I give her the antidote for Xiangzhu, she died of illness after returning to her hometown, have you forgotten all of this?"

Xiang Lan took a deep breath and said, "You gave her the antidote, but you didn't tell her that the antidote needs to be taken with milk or egg white."

Meng Mei remained silent for a moment with a sullen face, and said, "Don't worry, we are all in the same boat, I will not kill you."

Xiang Lan said: "With your mother's words, the servants will feel at ease."

Meng Mei asked, "Who else did you tell these things to?"

Xiang Lan said: "If the maidservant says so, will there still be a way out? The empress is also at ease, as long as the empress does not act rashly, everything will be fine."

Meng Mei closed her eyes again, concealing the murderous intent floating in her eyes.

After finally being able to be the mother of the world, she is going to be subject to a lowly servant girl for the rest of her life?

How can it be!

Better not let her get caught.Once she caught the person who secretly communicated with Xianglan, she would make her die a miserable death.

***
The border between Yin and Lang didn't last long, and was attacked by the Lang army.

Previously, Yin Rong insisted on letting the frontier concentrate its troops to attack the Lang Kingdom. Now that the Lang Kingdom has entered, they are fully prepared and their morale is high. In addition, the border army has no General Ming, and the new general lacks combat experience and makes frequent mistakes, making it difficult to give orders The soldiers of the three armies were united as one, so that Yin was beaten and retreated steadily.

Yin Rong began to realize that it was a mistake to order General Ming to attack Lang.

The army of Yin State is dispersed, and the generals are withered. The situation is not as good as it was when the Lang State was defeated. Facing such a menacing Lang army, let alone actively attacking, as long as it can be completely defended, it is already the best result. .

When General Ming was guarding the border, the Lang army attacked several times, and General Ming repelled them all, but he insisted that the Lang army did not break through the border.

Now, every time the Lang army attacked a city, they burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes, vowing to double the humiliation of defeat in the past.

Right now, the fighting on Jin Lin's side has been relatively slowed down.

Jin Lin had already conquered a large area of ​​Yin country, but Jin Lin's newlywed Yaner was not in a hurry to continue the attack.

Yin Rong called courtiers to discuss countermeasures.

Xu Shoufu advised Yin to seek help from Li.

Yin Rong has a grudge against Li Guo, because he was assassinated before, and according to the investigation, it was done by Li Guo people.Later, he also sent a circular letter to Li Guo, and the reply he got from Li Guo was also a simple sentence: Li Guo never assassinated the crown prince, someone must have framed him.

In this regard, Yin Rong could only swallow the fuss.Otherwise, what else could be done, Yin State is in a difficult situation now, and he can't attack Li State.

But now Xu Shoufu asked him to ask Li Guo for help, which really embarrassed him.

Yin Rong asked: "Is there no other way?"

Xu Shoufu said: "At this point, if Li Guo is willing to send troops to check and balance Lang, it will solve my urgent need in Da Yin. Besides, Da Yin and Li Guo have always lived in peace and communicated with each other. They are friendly neighbors. Da Yin is in trouble. Li Guo Time will do them no good if they stand by and watch."

***
Li Guohuang received Yin Guo's request for help, and one morning at court, he asked people to read this letter of request for help in front of all the officials.

All the officials almost unanimously expressed their agreement with righteous words, and they must give Yin Guo a hand in time. After all, friendly neighbors are not in vain.

Li Guohuang said: "Shan, I am of the same heart with all the lovers. If so, please ask Qin Guohou to dispatch troops and choose generals, waiting to go."

The ministers shouted: "The emperor is wise."

On this day, Marquis Shang was returning home from the barracks. As soon as he entered the front yard, someone came to report: "Lord Hou, Princess Yisong is here. He is now in the flower hall."

Marquis Shang walked through the front yard and took A Shuo to the flower hall, where Chongyi was guarding the door.

The laughter of the old lady came from the hall.

It turned out that it was Li Huan chatting with the old lady, who made the old lady very happy.

As soon as Shang Hou entered the door, the old lady immediately lowered her face when she saw him, and said: "Why did you come back so late, Yi Song has been waiting for you for a long time, Princess An is still waiting for her to go back for dinner." Then she turned her head back Going to see Li Huan, he asked, "Your mother won't be waiting for a long time, right? If you want to talk for a long time, why don't I ask A Shuo to invite your mother over for dinner?"

Li Huan smiled and said: "The old lady is kind, but I can't make decisions for my mother, I have to ask her."
