After lobbying like this, in a few days, almost 80% of the concubines and mothers in the harem had voluntarily recognized the eighth prince's party, and was willing to assist the eighth prince with all his heart and effort to suppress the ninth prince and the concubine Yun. For a moment, the eighth prince's seemingly sluggish wings became fuller again. He was not vague, and he was not afraid of losing the money, and he had already transferred more money from various places. After so many years of operation, his foundation was not only those in the Shengwang Mansion. Especially in the border areas, his wealth was even richer than the country.

He has money and someone, even if Xuan Tianmo is lying in the mansion to recuperate, he is confident. He doesn't believe it. He can't fight for the throne? Xuan Tianmo has nothing worse than Lao Jiu. If he is really worse, it is less favorable to his biological mother. But this is also his advantage. He wants to ask the people of the world, do you want an emperor who relies on your own to fight for the world, or do you want an emperor who relies on his mother's favor to sit on the throne.

On the 26th day of the first lunar month, on Yuehan Palace, a female guard was standing in front of Concubine Yun, talking to her with expressionless expressions about some big and small things that happened in the capital in Beijing recently. When talking about the eighth prince having joined forces with the mother tribe of the concubines in the palace, Concubine Yun shrugged and smiled: "What did those old guys do in the early years? At this time, I remembered to stand up for my daughter? But that's true. From a moral point of view, I snatched their husbands and we don't care."

"Oh! Empress, you must not think like this." An old lady beside Concubine Yun said immediately after hearing this: "This is how concubines in the palace compete for favor, and this has nothing to do with morality. I have been in the palace for a long time and have seen everything. No matter how favored you are, at least you have never hurt anyone. But before you came, those people died and injured in order to compete for favor. Although our emperor had nine sons, they were not without princesses. Unfortunately, none of them were born and all died in the womb. Why? They are not fighting for favor. So you must not feel sorry for anyone. As long as the old lady said, "It was Empress that you saved them, at least the harem of more than twenty years is calm and there are no casualties."

Su Yu, the palace maid in charge, also nodded and said, "That's right, Empress, there is no such thing as the Tao or the morality in the harem. Just like on the battlefield, the fittest survives and the strong survive."

"Is that right?" Yun Fei asked quietly, but she didn't expect anyone to answer it. She understood the truth, but she didn't like this palace, so she looked at everything and couldn't fully agree with the rules of survival in this palace. "Su Yu, you go to the Imperial Heaven Prison, the story of the two stars companion moon that the surveillance told last time was not over!"

Su Yu touched his forehead. As a sacred and mysterious department in the palace, even the emperor attached great importance to it. However, when he arrived at Concubine Yun, he became a storyteller. Su Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and invite him. After all, he heard the surveillance complaining again.

However, the supervisor dared not to post such complaints in front of Concubine Yun. He stood there honestly and told her the story of the two stars accompanying the moon. He told Concubine Yun: "The phoenix star is bright and dazzling. Although it has left the capital, its blessing is long and the empress does not need to worry. The other star among the two stars is also blooming. The two stars fight each other, and the main star will win!"

To the southwest, Feng Yuheng and his group had already walked into Kunzhou, Yuntian Prefecture, and continued further. Through Haizhou and Yuzhou, they would enter the scope of Ji'an County.

Because I had been delaying in Shuzhou for a few days, I was traveling all night long these days, unless the horses needed rest before they were willing to stop, and I often stayed in the carriage at night, and woke up the next day and continued on the way.

Today I arrived and passed a small village. Wangchuan and Feng Yuheng asked: "Miss, why don't we stay at the farmer's house for a night! Although the conditions in the village are limited, it's still OK to come and take a bath and clean your body."

Feng Yuheng also lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, but was not optimistic about staying. "This village is too poor." At most, there are only twenty families, each of which has thatched houses, at most two. They just staying at home. Where should so many people borrow?

Wangchuan looked at it for a while and felt that the proposal just now was not working, so he had to say helplessly: "It seems that I have to sleep in the carriage tonight. It doesn't matter to me, but I just have to suffer Miss and Miss Third."

Feng Yuheng waved his hand, "It's not that delicate. I thought I was going to Qianzhou to fight the war, but the conditions were not as good as it is now."

Xiangrong also said immediately: "Yes, I'm not that delicate, I can bear any hardship." In fact, she felt very happy to be able to follow her second sister. It doesn't matter what kind of place she lives and what kind of life she lives.

Wangchuan nodded, said nothing, but stopped the carriage, and then took Huangquan down to take a look. When he came back, he reported to Feng Yuheng: "Miss, let's stop in the middle of the village. Wang Lin went to say hello to several farmers. There was no place to live in the thatched hut, but he could borrow their stoves to make a decent dinner at least."

This is a good idea. Feng Yuheng said: "Calculate what else is in our car. If you don't want to buy some with the villagers, you don't have to worry about giving more money. They look very poor. If we eat their food, we must at least let them buy more food."

Shancha felt embarrassed to sit in the car again, so he took the initiative to do an errand with Wangchuan Huangquan. Xiangrong felt it was fresh, so he went down to take a look. After a while, he came back, but he said with a bitter face: "Second sister, I'm too poor. Every rice jar is empty. Not to mention rice, I can't even find a bowl of brown rice. These villagers said that their daily food is enough for one day, and they will appear again the next day to find a way. We will arrive until dark, and we will buy all the brown rice in the village, which is not enough for one person to eat."

Feng Yuheng was speechless, stood up and stood outside the carriage, and looked outside. He saw that the village was surrounded by mountains and could not be as poor as the mountain. Even in winter, almost all the men in the mountain village could hunt, hunt a few pheasants to eat or exchange money, and it was impossible for them to live such a life? What's more, the area of ​​Kunming Prefecture in Yuntian Prefecture is no longer as cold as the capital. The trees on the mountain had small buds, and it could be seen that it was a very wealthy mountain range.

She got out of the car and chatted with a nearby farmer. The farmer was an old woman with her wife and a three-year-old boy. When the old woman saw her, she said apologetically: "There is really no place to live in the family. There are only two houses and one without a kang, so it is impossible to live in."

The wife also explained: "We are Lijia Village, a village on the edge of the road. There are often passers-by who want to come and stay. Unfortunately, the villagers are too poor and no one can build a house. Fortunately, you have a carriage, but you really can't walk, so you are in the carriage for one night, but you can't help with food. You can only eat two meals a day, and you can't even eat." She said a little embarrassedly, and even hugged the child in her arms. Feng Yuheng looked at the child, and was thin and obviously malnourished.

She asked the woman: "Are you three in the family? Why didn't you see a male?"

The woman said: "My son went to Queensland to work and earned more than 200 copper coins a month. She came back once at the end of the month and could see her in a few days."

"Go to Kunzhou to work?" Feng Yuheng asked again: "Does every man in the village go out to work? I saw that your village is sandwiched between two mountains, and it is good to rely on the mountains to eat. Why do you have to work so far for more than 200 copper plates?" What can more than 200 copper plates do? She really has no idea about such a small amount of money.

"Oh." The woman sighed helplessly when she heard her question, "If you want to go to the mountains to make a living, you didn't have this before. The days in our village were pretty good before. Digging wild vegetables in the mountains and picking some wild fruits. After it rains, there were mushrooms, and they could still make some wild game from time to time. But since the bandits came more than a year ago, no one dared to go up the mountain. Even the firewood was picked up at the foot of the mountain, making a small mountain village, and even the firewood was saved."

"Bandit?" She frowned and her eyes passed to the deep mountains again. However, the mountains were majestic and the moonlight was dark tonight, so I really couldn't see anything. "Does the bandit come out to hurt people?" She asked the woman, "Or will those who enter the mountains be robbed and killed?"

The woman thought about it, but said, "I didn't see any hurt villagers. As for whether I would be robbed or killed when I entered the mountain, no one had tried it, because since I knew that there was a group of new bandits living in the mountain, no one dared to go up. I often saw those bandits going down the mountain to rob and kill passers-by. As for our villagers... I also saw that we are so poor here, even if they want to rob, they wouldn't know where to start." She said as she looked at Feng Yuheng's convoy and said helplessly: "Miss, you have to be careful. Such carriages may be kept in mind by the bandits. Alas, the world is uneasy!"

"Mom." The wife pulled the old woman, "It's all dark, let's go back to the house soon." She said while pulling the old woman and the little boy into the house, and at the same time said to Feng Yuheng: "I'm sorry, I really can't help you, take care of yourself." After that, the three of them went back to the house.

Wangchuan looked helplessly at the door that was closed in a hurry, spread his hands and said, "It seems that he can't even open the stove with them. Even firewood is precious. What else can we use?"

Feng Yuheng also smiled bitterly, "Forget it, let's go and pick up firewood by yourself. If you have anything on the car, just take a bite. Wait until you arrive in Haizhou and have a good meal to replenish."

Huang Quan stuck out his tongue: "That's all! Miss, please feel free. There are cakes I bought in the small county in our car. I will go into the mountain to see if there are any pheasants to beat. It's good to eat them with the cakes when making chicken soup. The villagers are afraid of bandits, so we are not afraid."

Feng Yuheng nodded, "Go! Call two secret guards together, carry more firewood back, we should burn it at night, and use it for night watch." After she said that, she turned around and returned to the carriage. There were a lot of food in the space, and she had secretly replenished a lot of it in the carriage along the way, and it was just enough to replenish it tonight. The elbows are not convenient to eat, but at least the small biscuits can make you hungry.

But just as she turned around, she suddenly felt a sound of a powerful weapon breaking through the air. Feng Yuheng subconsciously flashed across her body, and a hidden weapon passed through her ears, almost slashing on her cheeks. But the wind brought by the hidden weapon also made her feel painful.
