Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

When returning to the Imperial City, it was already evening.

The sunset was obliquely shining, and the **** afterglow was sprinkled on the red walls and blue tiles, more like the whole imperial city was stained with blood.

After I was brought back to the palace by Pei Yuanxiu, I never opened a mouth again. The whole person seemed to leave the soul in the barren mansion, neither crying nor any emotion, just staying Sitting there, watching the darker light outside the window, his eyes slowly darkened.

Of course, Pei Yuanxiu can feel that the temperature on my body is gradually disappearing, but what he said is useless, he can only keep people warming the earth dragon and sending me hot soup and rice.

Actually, he has a lot of things to do.

What's going on with the state treasury; how long can the grain in the barn last? I heard that several ministers have entered the palace underneath the hall to die the country; Xie Houqi took people to the west in the imperial city and collided with him. There have been several fierce clashes with the people of Xie Yi ...

However, he did not move.

He only stepped out slowly after returning to the palace, only taking two personal guards to protect him. Han Zitong had originally wanted to follow him and was rejected, which made people far away. Follow him.

Later, those people returned to report that Pei Yuanxiu went to many places in the palace.

Jingren Palace, Cheng Qian Palace ...

Those places are where he once stayed.

The person who returned the letter said that he later went to a place by himself.

That place, in a very deep depth, there were lush bamboo forests on both sides of the passageway of the doorway, but now, the bamboo leaves are covered with blood beads and dripped into the soil, and the faint fragrance that is no longer clear , But a strong **** smell. The people who followed him were unfamiliar with the palace and didn't know where that place was. Pei Yuanxiu would not let them follow anymore and went in himself.

In the distance, they only saw a stiff back when he pushed the door open.

Inside, all the bookshelves were pushed down, all the books were scattered on the ground, and the original quiet and elegant atmosphere was swept away.

Pei Yuanxiu stayed there for a long time before returning.

After returning, he didn't say a word. He just sat there quietly, but the kind of quietness was different from the kind of silence he passed over him. It was a kind of depression, as if he couldn't even breathe with heartbeat. .

Everyone just like that, listening to even more leaking voices.

He is also counting time.

Song Xuan took people out of the west of the city. How long will it take to catch up; if they catch up, where will they catch up?

Song Xuan, can you catch them?

Now, all his mind is on this matter.

In the end, even he sat silently without saying a word, so that Han Zitong on the side was anxious. She gently walked to Pei Yuanxiu, squatted and said softly, "Yuanxiu, you should eat something. "

"..."

Pei Yuanxiu originally looked straight at the candlestick on the table, her eyes were blurred. At this time, hearing her voice seemed to be suddenly picked up from the vortex of chaos. He shuddered slightly and turned his head. Looked at Han Zitong.

Han Zitong looked at him gently and said softly, "You can't hold yourself like this."

"..."

"We have won."

"..."

"Anyway, we won!"

When Han Zitong said this sentence, his voice was slightly heavier, as if eager to wake up the man in front of him.

Indeed, they won.

From south to north, no battle was smoother than them, almost no casualties were paid, and there was no anxiety in the war in Beijing. They opened the north door directly, entered the capital, and entered the palace. It was an uncontested victory in the eyes of anyone.

However, no one saw a cheerful look on Pei Yuanxiu's face.

Even more, his mood was heavier than before he broke into the capital.

Han Zitong looked at his dark eyes and repeated: "Yuan Xiu, we have won!"

At this time, the candlelight flickered slightly, and a little light flickered in those dark eyes. Pei Yuanxiu looked up, but wanted to say something, but didn't speak, first turned to look to the side. I.

On the side I was sitting on, there was no light, and the whole person was in darkness.

He had a little bright eyes, and went out.

As soon as he saw him like this, Han Zitong was even more anxious. She even ignored it. She reached out and grabbed Pei Yuanxiu's wrist. Shen Sheng said, "Yuan Xiu, you can't do this, there is still a lot of things you need Go and deal with it, this world is yours! "

"..."

"As long as this world is in our hands, we can do a lot of things!"

Until he heard this sentence, Pei Yuanxiu's expression was a little sober.

He looked at Han Zitong for a while and said, "You worked hard ..."

"...!"

Han Zitong opened his eyes wide open and looked at him in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that he would speak to himself like this for a while, and was a bit silly, and then Pei Yuanxiu slowly got up, walked out, and kept outside And several generals immediately came forward: "boy."

Pei Yuan Xiu said: "Is there any news?"

Several people were silent for a moment.

Xie Yan said: "Sometimes, someone came back to report that they were still tracking, but they did not encounter the enemy, so they must continue to move west."

"What about the evil Houqi?"

"They are advancing at the same time. But—"

"But what?"

"These people seem to be inadvertently chasing, and the rugged mountains make them seem to have slowed down, for fear they will return without success."

As soon as this remark was made, Pei Yuanxiu's breath became more heavy.

In fact, the evil Houqi and his people paid more attention to the fact that after opening the door of the capital and the treasure trove of the wealthy land in the Central Plains, they should enjoy, plunder, and where will Pei Yuanzhang go in the future, This does not seem to be what they are really worried about.

After a moment of silence, Pei Yuanxiu said, "Send someone, explore again!"

Xie Yi took the order and immediately passed the order.

Although the cold wind was blowing outside for a while, Pei Yuanxiu's breath calmed down. He also ordered the generals to keep guarding the Imperial Palace and the checkpoints of the Imperial City and to rotate in shifts. And several other camps have already given up resistance, but he still lets people take over, and wants to prevent all soldiers from making trouble in the capital.

This chaos was noisy, and two more hours passed.

It's midnight.

Han Zitong could not hold on long ago and was taken to a palace next to her sister to rest, while I was still sitting at the window, and Pei Yuanxiu accompanied me.

It seemed that he was waiting for some news himself.

Seeing that the child had passed, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

I suddenly stood up.

But because he had sat for too long, his legs were numb, and he felt numb as soon as he got up, and immediately fell down again. Pei Yuanxiu walked over and lifted me up with one hand, holding me half-holding and holding out.

Xie Yan stood at the door, spoke a few words to the people outside, and walked in.

I opened my eyes and looked at him immediately.

Pei Yuanxiu also looked at him, Shen said, "How?"

Xie Yan walked up to us, the candlelight in the hall illuminated the haze on his face, he shook his head slightly.

Pei Yuanxiu frowned immediately.

Xie Yan Shen said: "The other party seems to have been prepared for someone to chase him, so he is equipped with a large number of horses and horses who are good at shooting and shooting. As soon as the talents of Song Xuan approached, they were attacked. And because of that, The winding road is winding, and the sky is dark ... "

His words went down at the back.

Although the words didn't speak, the meaning was already clear.

Those people were well prepared to fight Song Xuan's people, and Song Xuan apparently suffered a "loss", but only how he lost it, only he knew it.

Pei Yuanxiu was silent for a while, and then said something strangely hoarse: "What about Song Xuanren?"

Xie Yi said: "He is still pursuing."

As soon as his words fell, I heard a long sigh of relief.

Those people were not pursued, that is to say, they should be able to leave, and then there should be no danger to the good words.

Great, great.

And Song Xuan continued to pursue, apparently to make a look for Pei Yuanxiu, he is a smart man, and also knows what he said before, as well as the pieces that happened in Cangzhou in the past, although the Cui family fell After that, the suspicions have basically eluted, but Pei Yuanxiu is not an ordinary person, and even a little clue will make him discover that something is wrong.

Now, it is good to make a look of loyalty, even if you lose some of your own people.

Pei Yuanxiu only glanced back at me, but didn't say much, but explained another two sentences to Xie Xun, and then Xie Xuan backed out. He came to me, looked down at my forehead, and Glittering with a fine sweat, he said gently, "Don't you want me to find a good word?"

I lowered my head and said calmly, "I just want her to be safe."

"She came back to this place, isn't it safe?"

"..."

I was silent for a while, then turned my head slightly, and said, "What do you think of her, let her see everything happening here?"

"..."

"That night, what happened in the long princess cave has made her so painful, even suffering from dementia; won't it scare her for half her life now in the capital?"

"..."

"My daughter is already suffering enough."

"..."

"I'd rather she wasn't around and I didn't want her to be frightened and to live in pain."

"..."

"As long as she is peaceful and happy to live, that's enough."

After that, I turned my head a little bit shyly.

Pei Yuanxiu stood silently and looked at me. Compared with the tiredness in my eyes, he seemed more painful. I did n’t know when the folds of the eyebrows began. He reached out and grabbed me. Wrist: "Light, I--"

I looked back at him.

His eyes flickered, and his voice was hoarse: "I never thought of hurting her."

"..."

"She grew up with me after all, and I ... if I find her, I will treat her well."

"..."

"Now, you see all this happening in Beijing. I know it hurts you, and I don't want to be like this."

I looked at him with a bitter smile: "Pei Yuanxiu, you don't want to, but didn't you foresee?"

"..."

"That sentence, I said so many times, but you, do you remember it once?"

"..."

"What's the point of saying that now?"

Speaking of which, I just feel that my chest is very uncomfortable. Although I know the wonderful words and those people have left, but my current situation does not allow me to completely relax, the man in front of me, no matter how I want to break free He refused to let go.

As soon as he grasped my wrist forcefully, not allowing a little slack, a sudden rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside, and he ran from a distance. Xie Ye immediately stepped forward.

It seemed that someone had come back to report something, and after two or three sentences, Xie Ai stepped forward and opened the door.

With a short whistle, the wind and snow rolled in from the outside.

In normal times, Xie Yan would never be so rude, but at this time, he could n’t even care for himself, and even after entering the palace, he also reached out and grabbed my wrist, and walked over directly: "My son, the situation has changed ! "

Pei Yuanxiu looked for a moment: "How?"

My heart was also beating a bit, and quickly turned to look at Xie Ye.

Xie Yan didn't look at me and said directly: "I don't know where a team suddenly appeared, and stopped those people in front. Song Xuan's men and horses rushed to it, and the two sides fought."

My breath suddenly suffocated.

what?

How could a team suddenly come up and stop them?

Where did the team come from?

It was as if I had seen through the thoughts in my heart. Xie Yi took a step forward and whispered to Pei Yuanxiu, "They are not the soldiers and horses of Shengjing. They have not done their best. They are probably already on their way back to Beijing. I'm just afraid that they will return, they will only say that the roads are rugged and they have not been able to catch up. "

Pei Yuanxiu only gritted his teeth.

However, now is not the time to manage the evil Hou Qi, how much the people who manage Sheng Jing have done their best.

His eyebrows were wrinkled and his teeth were gritted slightly, as if thinking about something.

Xie Yi said: "My son, the sudden appearance of the horse is-"

Pei Yuanxiu's eyes flickered.

He seemed to suddenly think of something, raised his head, and exhaled suddenly, Xie Ai asked quickly: "boy?"

Pei Yuanxiu said immediately: "I know what's going on, don't ask now, tell me first, what's the specific situation?"

Xie Yan frowned, and said, "After they fought, because the men and horses on both sides attacked at the same time, they steadily retreated, and now they started to retreat to the mountains."

"On the mountain, what mountain?"

"It seems to be a mountain to the west, but it is not a barren mountain. Someone seems to say that there are other palaces and temples on the mountain."

All of a sudden my heart sank.

I didn't expect that they had obviously left, and they were about to get rid of the pursuit of these people. A team suddenly appeared to intercept them, and now they are forced to retreat to the mountains.

As for Xie Yi said, there is a mountain on the west, there are palaces and temples.

Is it--
