Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

"You are here."

As soon as the sound rang in the night, my breath tightened.

The next moment, the voice suddenly said, "Who's there?"

"...!"

I didn't expect that the speaker was so vigilant that it was only this instant that I discovered my existence.

Hearing the messy footsteps over there, it seemed to disperse, and heard that person stopped as if in a low voice, then the footsteps of those people stopped, and then the person took a step towards me, tentatively saying: "come out."

"..."

"Don't let me do it."

"..."

In fact, originally, I also wanted to stop him, naturally I inevitably met.

I took a deep breath, suppressed my throbbing heartbeat, and slowly came out from behind the garden gate.

At this time, the surroundings were already completely dark, but in the garden of Zhang Taitaijun, the lanterns hanging under the eaves in the distance did not go out. They swayed with the wind, and the bright red light shone on my face. On the other hand, it also illuminates the other's face.

The tall, armored young man suddenly opened his eyes—

"You, Miss Yan ..."

"Second son, you are polite."

I arched my hand at him.

It was not others who stood in front of me, but Song Xuan, the second son of the Song family.

And the group of people behind him, I don't know anyone, but I always want people who he trusts to participate in such confidential events. Although those people were so nervous that they couldn't breathe, and stared at me with only a pair of eyes, I saluted them: "I was shocked."

Then I looked at Song Xuan.

I found that Song Xuan's appearance, although very unexpected, did not seem to be too surprised. He didn't even have a sense of surprise after he was exposed. He just silenced and waved to those behind him: "You Step back and wait. "

Those people retired silently.

Then his gaze turned to me, still somewhat uncertain: "Ms. Yan ... really you."

I whispered: "This seems to be my second son."

"..."

"With every siege, you are the person who sends food to Cangzhou City."

"..."

Even though the light was dim, I still clearly saw that the young man closed his mouth tightly and his two thin lips curled into a beautiful line. Although he didn't answer me, I know that he is already the default.

I sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the second son would do this."

This time, he frowned. "Why didn't you think?"

I said, "The Song family, as a powerful party in Cangzhou, is the person most affected by the emperor's New Deal. Your father and brother all followed Pei Yuan to rebel. You want to overthrow the current emperor and embrace him as the new emperor. Why do you run against your family instead? , Doing something hostile to them in the back? "

Song Xuan's lips tightened a bit.

He was silent for a while before he said, "Because I know, they will fail."

"Oh? Why do you know?"

I do n’t know if it ’s because of the person in front of me, or the things I ’m facing, that made me feel uneasy and relaxed. A smile appeared on my face. Of course, Song Xuan also saw it, but this smile seemed a little bit. Offended him. He frowned, and said, "Ms. Yan thinks I'm young and full of life, regardless of the consequences?"

I hurriedly said, "I don't mean it."

He sighed and said, "A lot of people, especially older people, think they must do something right. But they stay at home every day, eat and drink, play well, and maintain this life. Naturally I hope nothing will change. But as long as I go out and look at the world outside, I can know everything. "

"..."

"I am a person who has fought in the northwest. I know too well that those of us who serve as soldiers are supporting by the people. No matter how powerful the weapon is, no matter how powerful the formation is, no matter how powerful the soldiers are, they are not in the hearts of the people. Direction. "

"..."

"As soon as the Emperor's New Deal was promulgated, the people in Cangzhou City carnivaled for a few days, and I understood that the people needed this New Deal and the Emperor to adhere to it."

"..."

"My father, they are not fighting the emperor on the dragon's chair, but the people who want the new policy to be implemented."

"..."

"They, lose!"

I was stunned, but I didn't expect that this young man would say such words in his mouth, and I was so speechless.

He glanced at me and said with a little indifference: "If you want to feel that I am an unfilial son of a disobedient father, follow you."

I shook my head: "No, how could I think so?"

"..."

"I was just a little bit surprised. The second son is so young, but can see so clearly, but he has brighter eyes than some people who have lived more than half their lives."

Having said that, his eyes only eased a bit, and he looked down at me for a while, and said, "Actually, it was me who really didn't expect it. I didn't expect you to do it."

"Oh?" I smiled. "Since you didn't expect it, why weren't you surprised when you first met me? Another day, after you knew the dead in Cangzhou City, you ran to the stage and said those words. Didn't you tell me? "

"I mean for you."

"Not then--"

"However, it was grandma who asked me to do this."

"Old lady Zhang?"

He looked at me: "You don't really think that my grandma is really confused?"

I hesitated, then laughed: "Half, half."

"Ok?"

"I feel that Mrs. Zhang is not an ordinary, confused old man, but there is no way to talk to her well, I'm not sure; but these days, I get a lot from what she said to me Important clues, such as your family and Cui's actually being at odds with each other ... "

Song Xuan slightly opened his eyes and looked at me, and said, "You really understand!"

"..."

"Grandma told me that Ms. Yan Bingxue is smart and she can definitely hear her from her words. I don't believe it yet."

"..."

"I thought that those things were between you and that lady, and you and you were fighting for favor."

"..."

"Those words that day were also after my grandma heard the news of the dead in the city of Cangzhou, so I must first make it clear to you. She said that this would not lead you astray. I didn't believe it, but my grandma told me, I will definitely do it. "

"..."

After saying this, he himself seemed a little unbelievable. I looked at him, and the two looked at each other for a long while, and both laughed.

Speaking of which, I don't fully trust them, and they don't fully trust me, but things have gone wrong today, and it can't be said that it is a coincidence.

I sighed softly: "Rare old lady Zhang, so profoundly righteous."

Song Xuan said with a little pride: "My grandma is not confused. Grandma is much smarter than many people."

I laughed: "Indeed. By the way, the people of the Cui family once accused that it was because the emperor merchant saw the Gongsong after they saw the old lady, and then they informed the government of Cangzhou City. Isn't it-- "

"Yes."

Song Xuan nodded: "Grandma has been worried since she knew that her father and elder brother were collaborating with Pei Gongzi. She has persuaded her father several times, but her father is too arrogant and his grandmother is too old. So she started pretending to convince her father and elder brother that she no longer knew what they were doing. "

"..." I sighed.

Sure enough, it was similar to what I had guessed before.

It's hard for this old man.

Song Xuan also said: "However, the Emperor Shang is smart. Grandma knows a few words, and he knows. Don't look at this person as fat as a big bucket. The person is not bad, and there is a heroic righteousness."

As fat as a big bucket ...

I tentatively said, "Is that Emperor Shang the king? Is it Yang Wanyun?"

Song Xuan looked at me in surprise: "Do you know him?"

"..."

Really, life doesn't meet.

I never thought that what Han Ruoshi said before, that the Emperor Shang who had almost rescued the people from Cangzhou City would be the boss of Wang?

It's so coincidental!

I couldn't help laughing, and then said, "This person, I know, has done business with me before, and then experienced tribulations at sea together. Very wealthy, but not an ordinary businessman."

Song Xuan nodded and looked at me with a little surprise: "You know so many people."

"..."

"You are, quite different from those young ladies, ladies and wives."

"..."

"No wonder Grandma keeps thinking about you, she doesn't think many people."

I laughed: "Zhang Laotaijun is not an ordinary old man. However, what I miss most is not the cleverness of the old man, but the cleanliness of the old man. It is rare that she is so old, but she doesn't care about the honor or shame of the family On the contrary, I can think of more people. It is also this kind of old man who can train a second son so profoundly righteous. "

He glanced at me and said, "I do these things for the same thing."

"what's up?"

"My dad and my elder brother ..." His eyebrows narrowed slightly, and there was a glimmer of haze between his good-looking eyebrows: "They do these things in a treasonable way, and they want to fight the nine people. When I do these things, In order to forgive sins, and to forgive them in the future when the emperor condemns me. I have heard of you, and I know that your emperor has always been to you-open the net, and when you do, please be under the emperor In front of us to help our family. In any case, leave the lives of my father and brother! "

In the end, this person has been a soldier and went straight. Although this requirement is somewhat compulsive, it is not annoying at all.

I said, "I understand what you mean. If that day comes, I will be able to speak, and I will certainly intercede for your Song family."

He nodded: "I'm relieved then."

Having said that, he breathed a sigh of relief and glanced back at those who had receded far away, hiding his body in flowers and trees, and then turned his head to look at me and said, "You are here tonight —— "

I asked, "What about you? Are your people and yours going to attack Cangzhou City tonight to transport food to them?"

He nodded: "Several generals in the city are my good brothers. We used to drink together. This time suddenly, I could only rush to make an appointment with them, and they opened under the corner of Xicheng Gate. With a small door, every time I attack, my people will transport food and grass inside. "

Although I had guessed before, but I really heard him say this, I still couldn't help taking a sigh of relief: "Your courage!"

He snorted, "Cowardly, I won't be on the battlefield!"

I nodded, but it did.

Had it not been for his boldness and care, and to come up with such a way to survive, Cangzhou City would really not have been able to persist for so long, even to the point where Pei Yuanxiu himself.

but--

Seeing that I was silent for a while, Song Xuan said, "Yes, I heard them say that the surname Xie looks at you. Why did you sneak out and come here to find me?"

I looked up at him and solemnly said, "I'm here to tell you that your plan has to be cancelled tonight."

"what?!"

He was startled and looked at me suddenly. I continued to say: "Pei Yuanxiu must have guessed from the previous events that some of you have the same song with Canghai City. This night's siege is to find out Chance of traitor. "

"what?!"

His face changed, and he stared at me with wide eyes: "If this is the case, then my dad offered to attack Cangzhou City, would they already suspect my dad? They wouldn't kill my dad? I know everyone in the Cui family must be jealous of our family! "

I said, "Your father attacked the city because Zhang Taitaijun wanted to enter the capital. He is a filial son. This reason is reasonable. Pei Yuanxiu will not be arbitrary even if it is for your grandmother's sake."

"Oh……"

He was relieved.

I went on to say, "But this forage, you can't carry it tonight."

He just breathed a sigh of relief, but he raised it immediately after I said this, and his eyebrows twisted into a frown. He said, "No more luck? What can you do? You know that Cangzhou City has run out of food. How many days? "

"..."

"I used to encourage my dad and big brother to attack the city just to deliver it on time. The amount of delivery was not large, because our own grain is also measured. This way, we can only guarantee that the people in the city will have a bowl of soup every day. Bare enough for them to survive. "

"..."

"But ... but that day, the city started starving."

"..."

"I won't send in any more grass and grass, and the next starving person may be the soldiers guarding the city!"

"..."

"If that's the case, wouldn't Cangzhou City break itself ?!"
