The maid is the queen

Chapter 227 Helpless
Leading him out for a walk, he looked up and saw the emperor in blue clothes blowing in the wind on the second floor, his tired expression seemed to stand for a long time, he was staring at a certain place in the northwest, seemingly ruthless, angry, and angry. With helplessness.

I led Xi to go up the stairs slowly, and my father-in-law bowed and stood on both sides, and a father-in-law conveniently stuffed me with the hot ginger soup in his hand.

"My lord." I called softly.

He turned his head, his handsome eyes were cold, and slowly calmed down: "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Very good." I brought the ginger soup up, and he took it with a frown and drank it. Xi, who had just walked two steps toward him, backed up and hugged me, not daring to go any further.

After finishing the drink, he sighed heavily, and Chaoxi smiled: "Come here, father, give me a hug."

Xi Xi refused to go over, hugged my feet and hid behind me.

I saw that his eyes were full of hostility, and I asked him in a low voice: "The emperor fought yesterday, did he not win?"

He shook his head: "No."

Walking to the fence and looking down at the vast northwest, the wind lifted his blue clothes, his elegant and noble face still had a lingering heaviness, and he said sadly: "The grass in the northwest is abundant and the horses are strong. It is a place of great treasure, and it is also a place that military strategists must contend for. However, the former emperor has been slack in governing it. Although the Northwest mostly adopts three-way rule and mutual restraint. When the Li family fell, I sent Xia Juntang to the Northwest, but he did not get in the way. The Lu family army occupies a very important position in the northwest, and they are all my people, how can I kill them, but they are like a light on my back."

I don't understand what he said, but he told me about these military affairs, which shows that he is really depressed.He said that Qing Dynasty is on the side of the emperor, but they are all his subjects. It doesn't matter if there are one or two.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." I smiled softly: "Maybe there are some things that can be solved in a different way." I am also baffled.

"Maybe there will be a solution. I'm waiting for Duke Mu, and maybe I can save some things." He looked at me with burning eyes: "Although I am the emperor, if I can hold the world, I can You have to be able to grasp what you want.”

The wind is blowing, and it is so cool, and the autumn in the northwest is coming soon.

I don't understand what he said, but I know that everyone is working very hard. It is not easy for Xia Juntang to walk step by step in the bloody wind.

When I went back the next day, there was still only Yaya, but a table of exquisite meals was prepared, which made me wonder: "Yaya, did it come from a wine shop?"

Yaya shook her head vigorously, swipe left and right, but I couldn't understand. She pointed to the kitchen, and then drew a big person, smiling and cooking.

"You mean someone made it for me?"

This time Yaya nodded happily. The dishes on the table are very exquisite. I have never seen these dishes in the Northwest. They look so tempting. Xia Juntang and I are determined not to make these delicious and attractive dishes. Food, but as long as there is something to eat, whoever brings it.

It's really good to pick it up and eat it. My stomach is full after eating with Yaya. I really want to see who made the food for me.

Yaya pulled me up early in the morning and pointed at the yard.

I opened the window a little and saw that it was a noon man in white clothes, making dumplings in the yard. His temples were slightly gray, but his face was extremely handsome, elegant and gentle. When he wiped his face, his hair was also Without lifting it, he smiled and said, "You're hungry, the dumplings will be cooked in a while."

His words are like a very familiar friend telling me that the weather is really nice today.

I didn't feel strange looking at him, only a warm feeling: "I am Yun Zhiqiu."

"I know." He smiled, "I've always known."

Presumably it was one of my former friends, I also smiled gently: "It looks good."

He raised his face to look at me, with vicissitudes of smile in his eyes: "I think you will like it."

"Yeah." He replied in a low voice, watching him carefully pinch his dough with both hands.

I think I'm lucky, always have me so kind to me.

He smiled and said, "I think I have to introduce myself to you. My surname is Mu, and outsiders call me Duke Mu."

"Mu Gonghou, the emperor is waiting for you." I heard the name familiar at first, and said some words without thinking.

He smiled: "I know the emperor has been waiting for me."

"Hehe." I felt embarrassed because this had nothing to do with me.

He patiently pinched the corners of each dumpling and placed them on the plate very beautifully: "I stewed chicken soup as the base for a while, you should drink more."

"Yeah." The kindness of strangers to me, I can accept it openly, even I don't know why, it's as natural as autumn leaves will fall when the wind blows.

Yaya took the dumplings away, and he looked at me who was confused and said: "I have also learned something over the years. How many people and things can be cared about in a person's life. In the past, I I think that there is no problem that I can't solve. As long as money can solve the problem, it is not a problem. And I have never lacked anything in my life, and I have nothing to want. Now I really regret that I was young and didn't know how to cherish it. "There is a lot of pain written in his eyes, which makes me feel uncomfortable.

I don't know what to comfort, his sudden arrival will not be unexpected at all.

Yaya came out with dumplings, and he smiled gently and said, "Try it quickly, drink more soup, you are too weak."

"Yeah." After taking two sips, he said happily, "It's really delicious."

"Then I'll make it for you tomorrow."

"Why are you being so nice to me?"

He raised his eyebrows and looked at me kindly and said: "I thought you wouldn't want to ask, I treat you well, it should be, when you know it one day, you will understand, as I said, a person can live forever. How many people care."

"Mu Gonghou, will you be here for a long time?"

"I don't know." He said with a smile, "Maybe when you think I've stayed here long enough, I'll leave."

"Hehe." It's so weird.

Suddenly a man came to my door and cooked for me. He treated me so well as a matter of course. I didn't reject the kindness exuded from him, but I vaguely knew that it had something to do with my past.

Duke Mu, he is one of the noble families of the royal family, guarding the huge wealth and power in the east, he can almost be compared with the Lu family.

I was about to go to the military camp at Dongchengmen after dinner, but he asked me comfortably if there was anything I wanted to eat in the evening, I shook my head and said it was free.

When he came back in the evening, the table was still full of good dishes, but he had already gone back, and it was the same again the next day.

For several days in a row, I couldn't figure out why he was so kind to me, as if he had taken root and wanted to make delicious food for me.

My identity makes me vaguely aware that I am no ordinary Yun Zhiqiu, and even Mr. Mu cooks for me, so I won’t be so stupid as to pretend nothing happened.

Counting the stars at night, listening to the sound of wolves howling and dogs barking, I couldn't sleep anyway. The battle in the northwest became fierce. The emperor wanted to suppress the prestige of Lang Teng in one fell swoop, but it didn't seem to be going well, Xia Juntang was busy. It's been several days.

Leading Xi to play in the small attic, saw the army come back and hugged him excitedly, but in the hall, he saw the imperial doctor administering medicine to the emperor, his blue clothes were stained red with blood, but his expression was happy.

"Your Majesty." Another person came in and said something hastily. He stood up and said loudly, "Prepare your horse."

"Your Majesty." I called softly, "Be careful."

I haven't seen Xia Juntang for several days, so I don't know how he is doing now.

But even the emperor was injured, so I couldn't help worrying about him.

"Otherwise, don't go out here these days." He turned back to look at me: "I'm worried that I won't protect you enough and let the wolf hurt you."

"It's okay, I will take good care of myself. Your majesty, be careful. I have something to say when I come back." I want to say, no matter who I was before, I don't remember it now, that is God's will, I don't want to live in the present Disrupt, so I will stay here for the rest of my life.

There was some joy in his eyes: "If not, you can say it now."

"Well, come back first." It's not good to say now, he still has to go to war, I can't add trouble.

He reached out and plucked my hair: "Okay, wait for me to come back."

Kneeling down, hugging Xiyi fiercely: "Listen to your mother and concubine obediently, do you understand?"

Xi nodded, looked at me happily and said, "Okay."

Holding Xi and watching him walk away, I feel a little guilty. He always has expectations for me, but I still don't want to change my current life.

Duke Mu is right, in a lifetime, how many people can you care about?Xia Juntang is so kind to me, without him there would be no me, I can't let him down.

Hexi waited until night, but he didn't get the news of the victory. Instead, the soldiers and horses in the barracks ran out more and more, with a lot of panic in their expressions.

Asked about the father-in-law, but said that the emperor was injured, and these people were going to help.

I hugged Xi and went back to my place, Duke Mu hadn't left yet, he liked Xi very much, he looked at him with love in his eyes, but Xi accepted him very much, curled up in my arms and didn't say a word.

The wind rushed in with the sound of horseshoes, and then stood up. The courtyard door had already been kicked open, and then the dazzling torches illuminated the courtyard brightly, and the bearded men raised their hands one by one. The snow-white cold light was aimed at everyone except me.

Lang Xiao was so courageous that he even sent someone to sneak into the Daxiang Dynasty.

But Duke Mu pulled me behind him, and he looked at them without fear: "If you want to take someone away again, you have to step on my corpse."

"Go." The bearded man rushed up no matter what.

Unknowingly, a lot of people rushed out from the dark place and started fighting with the bearded man. Duke Mu protected me and said comfortingly, "Don't be afraid."

"Mu Gonghou, you'd better guard your east and don't meddle in these matters."

"My daughter, An Neng won't ask me to intervene."

As others said, he is indeed my father, who treats me well, takes care of me, and protects me.Is my status so prominent?Then what he said must be true.
