Thought

In other words, what is your role in a regime change and power replacement?

Mrs. Xue met Xiang Yu's gaze and smiled, "Brother, Auntie is a strong and wise woman. The survival of our Xiang family depends entirely on her existence."

A dignified and beautiful figure flashed in front of Xiang Yu's eyes, "You are right. Before entering the palace, my aunt loved you the most. After entering the palace, she often invited you to accompany her in the palace."

"When the previous dynasty fell, my aunt secretly summoned me into the palace." Mrs. Xue interrupted Xiang Yu's memory, and she saw that Xiang Yu's spirit was shaken.

It was a spring, the season when peach blossoms were in full bloom.

She was still a little girl who entered the center of the imperial city through a secret passage under the leadership of a court lady. At that time, Empress Zhaoren, that is, her aunt, Xiang Ling's bedroom, Fengxiang Palace.

At that time, when she passed the imperial garden, she saw peach blossom petals flying all over the sky, dreamy and ethereal.

Everyone knows that Empress Zhaoren likes peach blossoms the most, so in order to please her, the emperor at that time found all kinds of peach blossoms from all over the country and filled the Imperial Garden and Fengxiang Palace.

Every spring is a dreamy beauty.

In Fengxiang Palace, there is a faint fragrance of peach blossoms, but looking around, there is no trace of peach blossoms in the whole palace.Xiang Shu knew that it was the fragrance of withered peach blossoms.

Empress Zhaoren liked peach blossoms, but it was forbidden to break peach branches, so every year, court ladies and eunuchs would guard under the tree to collect naturally withered petals.

Looking at Queen Zhaoren in a phoenix embroidered robe, Xiang Shu, who has always been close to Queen Zhaoren, dared not approach her for the first time.Xiang Shu felt faintly uneasy in her heart, screaming not to go, not to go!

I only heard Queen Zhaoren's pleasant laughter, "Come here!"

Xiang Shu suppressed the scream in her heart and walked to Queen Zhaoren's side.

Empress Zhaoren looked at the approaching Xiang Shu with a smile, and sighed softly for some reason, "Shu'er is still so sharp."

"Auntie." Xiang Shu called out nonchalantly, her right hand unconsciously clenched Queen Zhaoren's sleeve.

Empress Zhaoren touched her head and said, "This is the last time you will enter Fengxiang Palace." Seeing Xiang Shu's confused face for a moment, she was anxious to speak, and put a finger on her lips, "I It's been decided."

This sentence blocked all Xiang Shu's words, she raised her head and quietly looked at this noble woman, Queen Zhaoren.

"Then I was sent out of the palace." Mrs. Xue took a sip of the tea in front of her, "Two days later, I was sent out of the capital by my father. Half a decade later, the Fengxiang Palace in the palace was completely burned down. His body was finally found under the maid of honor."

"The phoenix robe, the phoenix crown, and the phoenix face all indicate that this is the last empress of the previous dynasty, Empress Zhaoren." Madam Xue's voice was hollow, her eyes were blank, and all her tears seemed to have dried up when she was young.

"That fire...was Auntie... lighting it herself?" Xiang Yu's voice was difficult and dry.

"Yes." Mrs. Xue nodded, "Auntie said that the previous dynasty has been rotten from the root, and no matter how much she did, she couldn't stop the angry people. That fire burned down the entire Fengxiang Palace, and it also burned down the entire Fengxiang Palace. The whole country of Qi."

"Emperor Xiaozheng knew this very well, but he didn't have the determination of Empress Zhaoren. If he escaped from the palace overnight, he would die in the end. Wangjing Pavilion, ten miles away, became the last emperor of Qi."

Xiang Yu was silent for a moment, "Is your encounter with General Xue also planned?"

"Brother, my husband is a smart person. If the meeting between the two is full of calculations, he won't fail to see it." Mrs. Xue smiled, "I met him by chance, and my aunt knew about it later. , she fulfilled us."

"Protect the Xue family and the Xiang family to survive." Mrs. Xue said proudly with a smile on her face, "My aunt always loves me."

Xiang Yu's eyes closed slightly, "The ancestors of the Yan Kingdom, General Xue, and Empress Zhaoren, it's not easy for them to get together. I think it's only the day when Fengxiang Palace catches fire."

After confirming that all the arrangements for the posthumous affairs have been properly arranged, Queen Zhaoren can ignite a raging fire in her heart so resolutely!

In October, the postponed Qiu Wei was finally held as scheduled, and Mu Nian had already left Beijing at the beginning of the month and returned to his place of birth to take the exam.

Xue Yi was taken to the martial arts training ground of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion alone, and was forced to practice martial arts by Mrs. Xue.Obviously, the assassination in Xuchuan County stirred up a tendon in the old lady's mind.

"What happened?" Xue Yi had just finished a workout, wiping the sweat from the corner of his forehead.

Xu Xu followed Xue Yi and offered a glass of water, "Master, there is news from Pang Feng that the Zhiyuan study was burned down by a fire. It was clean and there was nothing left."

"It is said that the fire escaped accidentally in the kitchen. At that time, the night was quiet and the weather was dry, and the fire was not under control. Even the person and the study disappeared."

Xue Yi rubbed his thirsty throat, "I just set my sights on the Zhiyuan Study, and the study disappeared. Do you think it's a coincidence? Or is it a coincidence?"

Xu Xu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "Master, you mean that Zhiyuan Study discovered our surveillance?" But the next moment, he resolutely denied this possibility, "Pang Feng's people did not have time to approach Zhiyuan Study, and a fire will destroy Zhiyuan Study It was completely burnt."

"So our people are one step behind, someone has already set their sights on Zhiyuan Study in advance." Xue Yi said calmly, "And I don't know why Zhiyuan Study doesn't want to face it head-on, so we simply torched all the clues." Burnt clean."

"My subordinates asked Pang Feng and others to look for other clues to see who made contact with Zhiyuan's study before it was burned down." Xu Xu asked.

Xue Yi shook his head, "No need, what we are worried about now is the faction that set its sights on Zhiyuan Study before us. We'd better take the faction away now."

"They..." Xu Xu hesitated slightly, "Will they join forces to deal with the third party? After all, they are in the open, and we are in the dark."

"You're not right." Xue Yi shook his fingertips slightly, "We don't know who they are, and they don't know who we are either. In the darkness, who can trust whom?"

"What's more, the retreat of Zhiyuan Study has no lingering lingering, which shows that the plan is very big, and there will be no side effects." Xue Yi's eyes flashed, "I think the other party staring at Zhiyuan Study also understands this truth."

"Yes." Xu Xu hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the sky, "Could it be over there..."

Xue Yi smiled, "Who knows? After all, the Zhiyuan study was burned to ashes, and everything after that is unknown. The person called Qingzhou carefully watched Mu Nian. I don't want a second time for what happened last time." .”

"Don't worry, my lord."

In Xuchuan County, Qingzhou, Mu Nian returned to the place where he was born and raised.

He returned to Xue's mansion, and Han Tao, who heard the news, came to visit early the next morning.

Gobbling up the snacks on the table for entertaining guests, Han Tao picked up the teapot and drank it all down his throat.It took a long time for the rolled eyes to return to calm, took a deep breath, and sat down on the chair in satisfaction.

"It can be regarded as alive." Han Tao replied full of blood, and he did not forget to grab a few pieces of pastries in his hand, but his posture at this moment was obviously more elegant than before, "It's a waste of strength." escaped."

While eating, I was in the mood to complain to Mu Nian, "You don't know, my father seems to be crazy recently, forcing me to study hard in the study, hanging my head, pricking my buttocks, and getting back the gall. On the beam of the study, I looked up."

"Really, it's very bitter." Han Tao shuddered, "My father really thought that every time he came out, he heard about the environment of the scientific examination. In order to exercise my hunger resistance, he has only given me It’s a steamed bun, and it’s only the size of a child’s fist.”

"This is really my dear father." Han Tao angrily stuffed a piece of pastry for himself.

Mu Nian just smiled and said nothing, he was very bitter, what you just recollected, I'm afraid you didn't taste it yourself.And after all, he is his own son, even if Mr. Han, who hopes his son will become a dragon, does something, he will not exaggerate what Han Tao said, but it is just to make him happy.

There was a hint of warmth in his heart, and Mu Nian asked the servant next to him to bring back two plates of snacks.

It made Han Tao exaggerate and yell, praising Mu Nian repeatedly.

Mu Nian took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "Hurry up, the person who will pick you up should be here soon." As soon as the words fell, a servant came in and said that the Han family's carriage had arrived, saying that they were here to pick up their young master .

"Look, Cao Cao will be here." Mu Nian put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and met Han Tao's unbelievable gaze.

Sending the man out of Xue's residence, Mu Nian, who was reluctant to part with Han Tao in the carriage, seemed to be looking at his betrayed lover, and smiled slightly. As the scientific examination was approaching, it was better for him to be more cruel.

Although Han Tao was nagging, he could still read the book.But no one wants to have a fly flying around their ears if they can be clean!

It's just that Mu Nian's day is destined to be restless.

Mu Nian, who had just returned to his study to read, received a letter, a letter from Guo Songyu.

The author has something to say:

Hello everyone, I am short Xiaojun, please take care of me!
