Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

When I stood on the terrace, the breeze blows the hair and scrambles the hair, entangles it between the eyelashes, and stretches out my hand to gently sweep the view of the entire Royal Garden, and even beyond the red wall, Farther away.

But it's just to see.

"Like it?"

He stood beside me, looking at the eyes I had been looking into the distance, and asked again.

I haven't said a word, watching the distance silently, but I can feel that the person around me has been watching me, his eyes are hot and focused, as if the slightest movement is reflected in his eyes. I was silent for a while, and slowly said, "The Emperor is busy with government affairs, and there are so many opportunities. I really don't have to work on these things anymore."

"Just because of the busyness of government affairs, let this accompany you."

"..."

"I said, I'll give you whatever you want."

"..."

"This terrace was built for you by yourself, much better than the one in Jixian Temple."

I frowned slightly and turned to look at him.

His face is still the same as before, with the indelible burnout, his eyes are not only red, but the eyes are also slightly black. It has been a long time without a good rest, but his eyes are not slack, Refined light is like a sword in the sheath. No matter how harmless it looks, it has a sharp edge.

It turned out-because I mentioned the Jixian Temple.

Not only did he not let me go, he even asked me not to think, as long as there was something in Jixiandian, he could give it to me again.

So, this terrace is up.

But what about the people in Jixian Temple?

The man in my heart, can he give it to me?

I twitched the corner of my lips slightly towards him.

Maybe because they are too close, I can see myself clearly in his eyes, maybe because the wind on the terrace is cool, and it adds a little to my subtle smile to this faint smile. cold.

"Thank you grace."

After saying this, I didn't speak again, but just looked at the fence in silence. The scenery is indeed good. The lush greenness makes the day's boredom and heat slowly recede. After blowing for a while, I felt a coolness soaking through the musculoskeletal bones, and I wanted to go back. As soon as I turned my head, I saw the man standing behind me frowning slightly, rubbing his brows with his fingers.

Perhaps because it was so close, it was the first time I saw that his furrows were slightly narrowed. When he did this, the whole person revealed an indescribable fatigue and burnout.

I frowned, at this moment, Chang Qing's deep voice suddenly sounded in my ears—

This palace does not require you to do the best, the best, this palace just hopes that you can be more compassionate to the emperor.

mercy……

mercy.

I was silent for a while, and said lightly, "Since the emperor is tired, go back to rest earlier."

He looked up at me and said, "I want to stay with you for a while."

"But Weichen is a little bit cold and wants to return—"

When he had just finished talking, he suddenly reached out and grasped my hand.

The palm of his hand was strong and warm. When he touched me, his temperature was immediately uploaded from the skin, which made me shudder, and he drew back his hand in a hurry, but he held it tightly again: "Green baby!"

He held my hand with a strong finger, as if he couldn't get rid of the iron tongs.

I do n’t want to be tangled with him, not only life, but also physically, but after he grabbed me, he did n’t take the next step, just holding my hand like that, with a bit of forbearance I was at a loss for a moment and looked up at him.

"No matter how good, I can give you."

"..."

"As long as you don't leave you, you will make up for your suffering."

"..."

"So," he said, a bit of light flashed in his eyes, and his voice muffled: "So, don't think of anything else."

A stun in my heart, I immediately realized what was happening, and there was a sound of footsteps down the steps behind him, looking very anxious. Turning around, I saw the father-in-law running up from below. At first glance, we both saw him like this, but he stumbled, and I pulled my hand back hard.

Pei Yuanzhang looked at me, but did not get angry, and said without looking back, "What is it?"

"Back to the emperor, there was another urgent report. Several adults from the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Family sought out of the palace."

"Let them go to the Imperial Study Room and wait."

"Yes."

After the father-in-law Jade spoke, he glanced at me again and turned to run.

I stepped aside and looked down holding the guardrail. The ironing of the skin just didn't make me feel warm, but my face had a cool pale feeling. Pei Yuanzhang walked behind me and touched me with both hands. My shoulders twitched slightly, this time I didn't move any more, but pretended to be calm and said, "Isn't the emperor going to the royal study?"

"Well, I want to stay with you for a while."

This time, even his voice showed some burnout.

He has never been such a negligent person, no matter what kind of people and things, he can't cross the national affairs before him, but now he looks like this-I feel that he doesn't really take those things seriously One thing, it was just that the situation that had not improved for a long time made him deeply tired.

People always subconsciously avoid things that make them helpless.

I thought about it, looked back at him, and finally opened my mouth for the first time after these days: "How does the emperor think about Jiangnan?"

His eyes flashed slightly: "What do you think?"

"Wei Chen hasn't closed his door these days, and he doesn't know how the war in Jiangnan is."

"Actually, no war has yet started."

"No war?"

I was a bit surprised at it for a while, and looked at him sternly—the civil unrest has been so long, and the rebels have also established a scope of rebellion in Jiangnan. Why hasn't he ordered a war?

But after thinking about it, I understood it.

He is not incapable of fighting, but he cannot speak lightly.

Jiangnan has rebelled against the rule of the dynasty, but who is the manipulator behind the scenes has not been identified until now. If it is Xichuan or Yao Yao, then things are relatively simple, but in case, behind the scenes If you are not from Xichuan, then things will be complicated.

What Pei Yuanzhang has to face is Jiangnan, Xichuan, and possibly even the nuisance from the northern grasslands.

Such a situation can be described as the most difficult to suffer from the enemy.

"The Emperor's plan now is--"

Talking about this, the bit of air that was just a moment ago was suddenly swept away by the cool breeze. He slowly put his hands on my shoulders and said, "Although the situation in Jiangnan is chaotic, we need to sort out the chaos. To find the solution. "

"Can this source of civil unrest?"

"The two sides fought, three of whom were based, one was the people, the other was the food corps, and the third was the sword."

I thought about it, and slowly said, "There are many rioters in the south, plus those of the imperial court in previous years-" I glanced at him without saying this, and then said, "The people there want to organize rebellious army It is not difficult; the six provinces of Jiangnan are themselves the richest places in the Central Plains, and providing food for war is not a problem. "

"and so--"

"Blades."

I couldn't help thinking about these two words.

At the beginning of Fu Bajiu ’s entry to the palace, Qing Han gave Nianshen a dagger, which was cast by Xichang Taihe Iron Mine, and its meaning is self-evident.

He seemed to be reminding something at that time.

The imperial court did not control the iron ore in Xichuan, so they had room to produce a large number of weapons for the war against the imperial court, but the south was different.

The harsh government and heavy taxes of previous years and the strict control of the imperial court made the circulation of iron ore in Jiangnan very difficult, so even if those people were overwhelmed by the shabby people, they could barely control them. Great civil unrest.

But this time, they have blatantly rebelled against the imperial court and built a huge water army camp on the river.

It's never easy!

I said, "The Emperor doubts that they are Nishikawa's forces?"

Pei Yuanzhang was silent for a while, but the answer was somewhat unexpected: "Not necessarily."

"Oh?"

"Although the court's control over Xichuan was not strong, it was not as weak as you thought; the weapons that can support a war are not so easy to transport from Xichuan to Yangzhou. Even if they go by water, the Sanjiang Dam— — "

At this point, he paused, as if suddenly thinking something, didn't go on.

Sanjiang Dam?

Hearing this place name made me feel lost for a moment.

Those who come out of the Shu land will not be unfamiliar. This was an unprecedented and huge project built by the court at the beginning of the founding of the dynasty by the imperial court at the congestion of the Three Rivers where the Yangtze River flows through the lower reaches of the Xichuan River.

It is said that before that, the drought in Shu land was very fierce, but after the dam was built, the drought in Shu land was greatly relieved.

But all this makes people wonder. The court was so hostile to Shudi, and even after many years of fighting, why did it build such a dam that is good for Shudi? The only explanation is that Shudi and the waterways in the south were cut off by this dam, and any incoming and outgoing goods must be inspected by the court guards before being released.

In this way, it is impossible for such a large number of weapons to be transported to Jiangnan in this way.

Neither can it be produced by itself nor can it be obtained from Xichuan. Where does the weapon from the south come from?

Thinking of this, I could not help frowning, frowning, as if something was coming out of my mind, but I couldn't see clearly through a layer of mist. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in front of me, and Pei Yuanzhang reached out and rubbed it. Rubbed my brow.

"Don't frown."

I blinked and wanted to step back, but at a glance I saw a bra on his wrist, and suddenly I remembered something—

Foreign goods ...

He heard these words murmured in my mouth, and also said, "What are you talking about?"

I suddenly looked up and looked at him: "foreign goods!"
