"Your Majesty, the marriage envoy Wei Xiaobao, Lord Wei, has brought Princess Jianning to Yunnan safely, and has requested an auspicious date for the wedding of Princess Jianning and Prince Heping Xiwang, Wu Yingxiong." The young eunuch handed over Wei Xiaobao's memorial.

Xuan Ye looked at the neat handwriting on the memorial and knew without thinking that it was definitely not written by Wei Xiaobao himself, "Besides the memorial, you didn't send anything else?"

"Besides this, there are no other letters from Princess Jianning to the Queen Mother." The young eunuch replied.

"Letter to the Queen Mother?" What about the one not addressed to him?

Did she see what he gave her?

Although Xiaobao doesn't look like much, what he explained should be pretty safe. After she saw it, didn't she have anything to say to him?

"I really know, please step back."

The young eunuch stepped back and Xuan Ye took a rough look at Wei Xiaobao's memorial. Because it was written by someone else, there was no important information in it. He held it in his hand and Xuan Ye looked a little solemn.

To be honest, he regretted it. He regretted going to Taomi. It didn't mean that he was not sure about getting rid of Wu Sangui, but what if Wu Sangui jumped over the wall and took her as a hostage?

Because he cares about it, Zai Hui has been thinking about it. He has been thinking about this question these days, but after thinking about it for a long time, the answer has not come out. The matter has reached this point, so he can only take a look.

Suddenly I felt my fingers pinch a bulge. I looked at the position of my fingers and opened the memorial. Sure enough, I saw a small note inside.

This time it was different from the neat handwriting on the memorial, but the twisted, fly-like handwriting, which was exactly the same as the handwriting he had seen Wei Xiaobao write before.

[The princess is fine, the turtle is cunning and the bear is stupid, so there is nothing to fear]

There wasn't much content in it, but Xuan Ye suddenly felt at ease after seeing it. He knew that Wei Xiaobao had always regarded him as a good brother. With just this sentence, he tried his best to hide it from Wu Sangui.

, even though they were already in a land of tigers and wolves, they still wrote a letter to reassure him.

"Come here, set up the Cining Palace."

At this time, the Cining Palace was no longer as peaceful as before. Hong Antong died, and Su Quan ran out of Shenlong Island with her belongings without any regrets, completely ignoring those people who were killing each other.

She has the antidote to Baotei Yijin Pills, but she won't give it to them. She brought it to the island for Hong Antong, but they didn't stop her. She has been planning to cause internal strife in the Shenlong Sect for so many years.

Well, who knew that Hong Antong was bitten to death by the snake he kept on the island.

Of course she knew that Hong Antong would not die for no reason, but she did not intend to avenge him. I believe that not only her, but no one in the entire Shenlong Sect was willing to avenge him.

Since all his plans have come to nothing and she has been in a lot of trouble, as long as she does the few things she should do, she will live her own life.

Wei Xiaobao had just entered Shenlong Cult not long ago. Although he was a little bit mean-mouthed, he was not the person who deserved to die before. She was willing to give him the antidote.

So many people in the Shenlong Sect were fed Baotei Yijin Pills by Hong Antong. Apart from Wei Xiaobao, the only one she was willing to give the antidote was Mao Dongzhu.

Back then, she was taken to Shenlong Island. There was a section of waterway from land to Shenlong Island. She had never touched water. She started vomiting as soon as she got on the boat, but others ignored her and left her lying like a dog.

In the corner, she really thought she was going to die.

At that time, Mao Dongzhu was one of the few women on the ship, and other women were unwilling to get along with her because of her appearance. Those were the saddest days for her.

Later, she became Hong Antong's wife. Although she was in name only, in the eyes of others, she was Mrs. Hong. This was an indisputable fact. She never had any contact with Mao Dongzhu again.

Later, Mao Dongzhu came to the capital, and they were separated for more than ten years. During these ten years, her mind became more and more mature, and the city became more and more unfathomable, but she also became more and more uncomfortable, even sleeping at night.

I am always very vigilant.

Now that Hong Antong is dead, she left Shenlong Island in a small boat. At that time, sitting on the small boat and looking at the endless sea, she truly accepted the fact that Hong Antong was dead. She once thought that he was so powerful.

People just died like that.

It was also at this time that she realized that Hong Antong... was nothing more than that.

She drifted at sea for several days before landing. In the past few days, she had been watching around Shenlong Island. No one rowed out. They were probably looking for the antidote to Baotai Yijin Pills.

After landing, she first went to Yunnan, gave the antidote to Wei Xiaobao, and then went to the capital. At this time, half a month had passed since Hong Antong's death. The people of the Shenlong Sect who stayed in the capital also knew about Hong Antong's death, and they all

Head to Shenlong Island.

Except for Mao Dongzhu and Shou Toutuo, and Mao Dongzhu is now in the palace, even if she knows about this matter, it will not be so easy to get out. She can not get the Forty-Two Chapter Sutra, but she cannot ignore the consequences after she leaves.

The real Queen Mother has been imprisoned by her for so many years. If she runs away, she will definitely come to her for revenge immediately. By then, even if she remains anonymous, it will be easy to be found with the royal ability.

She doesn't want to die, but if she is killed, she is Jianning's biological mother after all. Jianning doesn't know anything yet. If he knew, would he blame her?

Therefore, Mao Dongzhu was in a dilemma for a while.

This was the third time in her life that she was in trouble, all because of the woman in front of her. She really wanted to kill her, but if she killed her, she couldn't explain it to Jianning.

Shou Toutuo was waiting for her outside the palace and did not interfere with any of her decisions. Just like more than ten years ago, she chose to stay in the palace, so he waited for her outside the palace.

Su Quan's appearance was unexpected. After taking the antidote of Baotai Yijin Pills, she breathed a sigh of relief but the depression in her heart was not relieved.

Especially now that she saw this letter from Taomi, she didn't know what to do.

"If you don't know what to do, then let God decide." Su Quan looked at Mao Dongzhu and said. She knew that Hong Antong's death was definitely not that simple, but it was God who allowed the person who could kill him to appear.

, so she who had never believed in fate before believed in fate again.

And she is willing to believe that "good and evil will eventually be rewarded." She didn't believe it before, because Hong Antong could do all the bad things but he could be safe and do whatever he wanted. Now that Hong Antong is dead, she also believes it.

Mao Dongzhu was just taking revenge on the person in the secret cell. Even if he was guilty, it was the one who made the move first. She believed that God would see everything.

Mao Dongzhu looked over. She didn't believe in God. The reason was basically the same as Su Quan before. Now that Su Quan believed it, should she believe it too?

When Xuan Ye came to Cining Palace, Mao Dongzhu was uneasy. Su Quan, who had not yet left, hurriedly hid. When Xuan Ye came in, what he saw was Mao Dongzhu sitting alone at the table. Although his makeup was very delicate, he still

It was difficult to conceal the look in her eyes.

Xuan Ye was startled, "My son, please pay your respects to the emperor."

"The emperor does not need to be polite, please get up." Mao Dongzhu said as usual.

Xuan Ye looked at the unfolded letter on the table without frowning. Something seemed to flash in his eyes, because it was so fast that Xuan Ye returned to normal before Mao Dongzhu could see clearly what it was.

.

"Empress Huang, I have received the memorial from the betrothal envoy. Everything goes well, as I plan to marry Ning on an auspicious day. I wonder what your thoughts are?"

"The emperor should just act according to his own ideas. The Ai family doesn't have any ideas."

Mao Dongzhu didn't ask him if he really wanted to marry Tao Mi to Wu Yingxiong. Why didn't she ask?

"Empress Huang, do you really think it was wrong for me to marry Jianning to Wu Yingxiong?"

Mao Dongzhu lowered his eyes, then raised his head after a while and said, "The emperor's decision is always right, but you must always remember, emperor, not to make decisions easily, because you are the emperor, and once you make a decision, the whole world will know it."

, once Chrysostom is opened it cannot be changed.”

Even if you regret it in your heart, you can't change it.

Mao Dongzhu's words were expected by Xuan Ye. She had always said this to him. When Obai was in power, she taught him how to behave in this way. She was obviously not the real queen mother, so why did she do this?

She taught him these things, all of which are beneficial to him. So far, he has not seen any disadvantages. If it was to deceive him, she had other purposes, and there was no need to deceive him for so many years. She should have deceived him with all her heart.

.

"Xuan Ye has remembered what the Queen said and learned from it."

Mao Dongzhu packed up the letters on the table and handed them to Xuan Ye, "This is a letter from Jianning. It should be sent together with the memorial given to you by the betrothal envoy. Take a look at it too. Jianning is a smart man."

I don’t think we need to worry about her at all.”

Xuan Ye took the letter in his hand and said, "I'll go back and read it."

Mao Dongzhu nodded, picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip without saying anything. He was not stupid. Last time Wei Xiaobao told him that the current Queen Mother had killed Concubine Dong E and asked Shunzhi to go to Mount Wutai to become a monk. He has been paying close attention to the people here.

Naturally, some clues were discovered.

Regarding the fact that Mao Dongzhu was not the Queen Mother, he never expected that he would accept it so easily, from being surprised at the beginning to accepting it now, and he would insist on coming to greet her every day.

It's like serving a real mother.

Mao Dongzhu looked over and saw that the little emperor's heart was still too young. She could see through it at a glance. How could he become a real emperor in the long run?

Oh, she actually still has the heart to worry about others now, when she can't even protect herself.

Xuan Ye moved his lips, but finally left without saying anything. Su Quan came out from the darkness. She was not a mother and did not understand Mao Dongzhu's current situation, but this little emperor was not her child, let alone him.

Not even the married Princess Jianning. Why would she treat them like this?

"I passed by Yunnan before coming to Beijing and saw the princess's motorcade led by Wei Xiaobao. The princess went to get married and even knew to write you a letter back. It seems that your mother has done a good job these years."

Married daughters throw water away. Few women still think about their parents when they get married. They obey their husbands when they get married. Mao Dongzhu knows this. Of course she knows that peach honey is good, and it is precisely because of this that she is so sad.

As night falls, everything returns to calm, but this calm does not belong to the huge Forbidden City.

Two men in black came out of Cining Palace. One went to the direction of the palace wall, while the other went to Yangxin Hall. Yangxin Hall was the residence of successive emperors and is where Kangxi currently lives.

Xuan Ye had to deal with official documents every day, so naturally he would not go to bed so early. He had just finished processing all the official documents that day. As soon as he lay down, he felt someone coming in before he fell asleep. He held his breath and was thinking

Why didn't the eunuch who was keeping vigil at night suddenly feel a breeze blowing by without noticing?

The man opened the door and went out.

Xuan Ye stood up and opened the bed curtain, and saw the young eunuch lying on the floor. He was the one who kept vigil for him. He hurried over to check. He was still breathing, but he had just passed out.

Xuan Ye looked around, who was that person who just came, and what was the purpose of coming here?

His eyes fell on the yellow envelope under the little eunuch's head. He picked it up and saw that it was not sealed. He took out the paper inside and saw that the handwriting was very familiar to him, and the things he said were also very familiar to him.

He thought he already knew who that person was.

At this time, the little eunuch woke up and saw Xuan Ye standing next to him. He quickly knelt down and saluted, "Damn it! Damn it. Damn it. I fell asleep during the vigil. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
