?At somewhere in Chang'an City, a carriage was slowly driving on the street. Duke of Pei, Zheng Yi, was sitting in the car in a daze. It had been three days since he returned to Chang'an after defeating Jingzhou. The development of the matter was basically expected: he was dismissed from office.

The army of the Southern Conquest was defeated and lost most of the prefectures and counties in the Jingzhou General Administration. As the chief marshal of the Southern Conquest, he and a group of major generals were punished. Although the Anzhou army used mysterious weapons in the decisive battle between Lianghekou, causing the collapse of the imperial army, but the casualties were so heavy, the court always had to give the people of the world an explanation.

"Let's see if it can be rekindled for a while!" Zheng Yi murmured to himself and couldn't help but clench his fists. He had an "adventure" at Lianghekou and got a "magic weapon". Now it is the time when this "magic weapon" comes into play.

The carriage came to the gate of the prime minister's mansion and stopped. Zheng Yi asked his entourage to submit a post to the doorman for a visit. The doorman did not dare to neglect and respectfully take the worship box and walk in. The more particular prayer letters were placed in the worship box, and Zheng Yi's prayer letters were even so.

A piece of silver was quietly transferred from the entourage's hand to the doorman's hand. The doorman was stunned and quickly handed it back to the other party and whispered: "This is not something that young, how dare you let Duke Pei spend money?"

As the saying goes, if an ordinary official visits the prime minister, if he visits the prime minister and invites the gatekeeper to communicate with him. If he doesn't give him some "intention", then wait outside. However, this Duke Pei is a regular customer of the prime minister's mansion and is even allowed to enter the mansion directly with his guards. Although he has been blamed and lost the official, the gatekeeper knows very well that the other party will sooner or later "make a comeback."

The concierge took the letter of worship and entered the mansion and replied: "Please go back to Duke Pei, the wife said that it is not allowed to be argued about official business, so she also asked Duke Guo to meet the Prime Minister."

The entourage came to the car and told the doorman that he was sitting in the car. Zheng Yi then took out a box and asked him to transfer it to the doorman. The doorman was a little embarrassed and confused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and turned around and entered the mansion.

The Prime Minister's wife Dugu Jialuo was watching her youngest son Yang Liang learn calligraphy in the backyard. When she saw the butler coming in with a worship box, she took it and frowned: It was Zheng Yi, Duke Peiguo, who asked to see him again.

"Butler, you go outside the door and tell Duke Pei that I cannot argue with official affairs. The prime minister will decide on major matters of the court."

The housekeeper said carefully: "Madam, Duke Pei said it is not a business, but a private matter."

"There are only official affairs and no private affairs in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Let Duke Pei go back." Dugu Jialuo said unquestionably. She knew what Duke Pei Zheng Yi wanted to do now, but as the Prime Minister's wife, naturally, she had to consider her husband and not ruin the Prime Minister's reputation.

The Southern Army was defeated and lost countless places, and Zheng Yi, as the chief marshal of the marshal, also had to take responsibility. Now he lost his post and was dismissed and took advantage of the fact that the Prime Minister was not in the mansion to come to see him, obviously he wanted to give gifts and take the "Madam Route". I wanted her to help blow the wind in the prime minister's ear. Dugu Jialuo is not the kind of woman who forgets his righteousness and makes her husband difficult to do when he sees profit, so she decided to thank the guest.

After Emperor Tianyuan died last year, Yang Jian was able to become the prime minister of the regent, and his old classmate Zheng Yi worked hard. With this relationship, even if he is now in a dilemma, he will avoid the limelight, and sooner or later, Yang Jian will use him again. Now the other party is going to visit her one after another. She thinks it is too hurrying.

"Madam, Duke Pei said please take a look at the contents in it..."

Dugu Jialuo put the worship box next to him and did not open it, then asked the official to go out to thank the guest. Zheng Yi learned that the Prime Minister's wife had no objection, he was stunned for a while and then sighed and returned home.

Unexpectedly, the carriage was caught up by the panting official family of the prime minister. Zheng Yi, who was turning around, followed the official family into the backyard garden. Dugu Jialuo was waiting for him with a piece of paper with a serious expression on his face.

Seeing the servant retreating aside, she asked, "Where did Duke Pei get this nursery rhyme?"

Just now, she opened the worship box and looked at the content on the paper. The children's songs written on the paper were written by her mother when she was young and then sang them to her. After she became a mother, she had the eldest daughter Yang Lihua, she also sang them like this. Later, Yang Lihua became a mother and had a daughter Yuwen Eying. This is not a nursery rhyme in the streets among the neighborhoods. It can be said that only she and her daughter can sing.

Zheng Yi glanced at the other party's expression and then became scheming: "Madam, Xiaguan went to war with the army in June..."

He began to tell the past with tears in his tears: in late June, the imperial army fought a decisive battle with the Anzhou rebels near the mouth of Lianghekou of the Jingzhou General Administration. However, the rebels used magic to cause trouble for a moment. The sky was thunder and bloody storm, which made the official army fight bloody for several hours, but was defeated like a mountain.

In the chaos, he was pulled off by the defeated soldiers and saw that there was no way out, so he changed the clothes of the people and tried to fish in the muddy waters. When the rebels gathered the prisoners, he was mixed in the crowd and finally found an opportunity to sneak to the river to run, but had an adventure.

"Xiaguan saw a girl of six or seven years old digging wild vegetables on the shore by the river. She was humming this nursery rhyme..."

"She... Eying, it's Eying!" Dugu Jialuo's eyes turned red when he heard this. Her guess came true: Zheng Yi met her long-lost daughter and granddaughter in Jingzhou!

The six or seven-year-old girl is still humming this song, and she is clearly the granddaughter Yuwen Eying, who is still digging wild vegetables... What kind of life are you living here!

"What happened to Eying later? What about Lihua? Where is Lihua!" If Dugu Jialuo hadn't taken etiquette into consideration, he would have wanted to grab Zheng Yi's shoulder and shake it hard.

Zheng Yi saw that the 'original plot' was working and even lowered his feet and stamped his chest: "Madam! The lower official was shocked when he saw the little princess, and he was at a loss and found it for the rebel guards. At this moment, the empress dowager rushed to protect the little princess, and the empress dowager also saw the lower official!"

"Lihua? Did you see Lihua? What happened later!" Dugu Jialuo almost shouted out. Since her daughter disappeared in October last year, she has been missing every day and night. She sent people to search everywhere for a long time without any whereabouts. Now she has heard that someone has seen her daughter, how can she not be excited?

"The Empress Dowager recognized the lower lord. She burst into tears and laughed bitterly for a few times... "

"How about you? How about you!"

"The Empress Dowager jumped straight into the river and wanted to jump into the water and commit suicide!" Zheng Yi broke out a shocking information. Seeing Dugu Jialuo almost fainted like five thunders, he quickly followed up: "Fortunately, he was pulled by one person. The Empress Dowager was fine, but she was crying..."

This "original plot" was extracted after he thought hard. To have sadness, tragedy, suspense and suspense is to "impress" the Prime Minister's wife. First, he mentioned the little princess' "digging wild vegetables" and reminded people of the miserable scene of the mother and daughter living together. Then, when the empress dowager saw him, she wanted to "sprung into the water and commit suicide", and in addition, he had a chance after turning around and being pulled by one person.

"Daughter, a miserable daughter..." Dugu Jialuo's eyes were already shining with tears when he heard this. If it weren't for the decentness of the Prime Minister's wife, she would have been crying. She always thought that her daughter had not died after being abducted, but she didn't know how she was doing. Now when she heard that her daughter was about to commit suicide by throwing herself into the water, she couldn't help but feel sad from her heart.

Zheng Yi said that he was caught by the guard on the spot and planned to pretend to be crazy and wander around, but he did not expect that the little princess Tong Yanwuji would reveal her identity. This was because she often went in and out of the palace and Yuwen Eying recognized him. The guard was excited to find out that he had caught a high official and tied him up and wanted to drag him away.

"The Xiaguan was dragged away by the traitor to behead him and showed him to the public." Zheng Yi said with shame, "The Xiaguan was ashamed. He knelt down to beg for mercy in order to survive, and the Empress Dowager also asked for help..."

'I know you are afraid of death. If you kneel down and beg for mercy, the key is what happened to my daughter!' Dugu Jialuo thought so. She knew that Zheng Yi was greedy for money and afraid of death. When she learned that she actively organized the "feat" of defending the city in Shangwan and not breaking through the city after the city was broken, she thought she had heard the wrong name.

Zheng Yi slowed down and continued to say that the Anzhou traitor forced him to "anyway" and failed and threatened to announce the forged loyalty letter that had implicated the family members far away in Chang'an. He used many means to force him to write down the true loyalty letter and use this as a handle to let him return to Chang'an to be an insider.

Dugu Jialuo was not surprised that Zheng Yi wrote a letter of loyalty to save his life, but this matter could only be handled by his husband. What she cared about was what happened to her daughter and granddaughter later.

"After writing this letter, he knew that the great tribute was a loss, and he wanted to meet the queen mother." Zheng Yi's tone was low. He glanced at Dugu Jialuo and continued, "The queen mother was thinking that he would send a message to the queen mother no matter what."

Zheng Yi thought about it for a long time and decided that the order of the "original plot" is very important, so he must not say that the reverse is against it, otherwise everything will be stopped. You must insist that it is a loss first and then to make up for it. If the order is reversed, the Prime Minister's wife thinks that it is making excuses for the loss, and then he will be rushed to the Prime Minister to "repent".

"Where is Lihua? What did Lihua say?" Dugu Jialuo was concerned about his daughter. In order to make up for the loss of the festival, Zheng Yi wanted to make up for his merits and make up for his mistakes and thought of "sending a message" to her. It would be impossible if the other party threatened her to help her plead for love.

"The Empress Dowager has always refused to see the subordinates. She couldn't resist and said that because her daughter was hostage, she had no choice but to live in humiliation after living with the thief. She never thought that she would be caught by an acquaintance and had no face to see her parents again, and she could only fulfill her filial piety to the two elders in the next life." Zheng Yi was also in tears when he said this.

He reviewed this "original plot" for a long time before he could cry. As a result, after reviewing it too much, he even thought that he had met the little princess Yuwen Eying and the queen mother Yang Lihua by the river.

Dugu Jialuo was already very sad and angry when she heard her daughter's miserable experience. She tried her best to control her emotions and ask what to do next. Since the other party could return to Chang'an alive and bring children's songs to see her, there must be something else to say.

"The Empress Dowager only said that there is no Yang Lihua in the world, but Yuwen Eying. If the wife saw this song, she would naturally know that the lower official had seen her." Zheng Yi paused after saying that. Seeing the other person listening, he added: "The Empress Dowager did everything for the little princess. I just said that if the little princess is safe, she would be humiliated by the thief."

"Silly child, silly child..." Dugu Jialuo's heart was as if he was shattering. At this moment, she finally understood why her daughter, who had always been responsible, disappeared: because the little princess Yuwen Eying fell into the hands of the thief, Yang Lihua, as a mother, had no choice but to live in humiliation.

She couldn't help but remember that Yang Lihua had angered Emperor Tianyuan and was ordered to commit suicide two years ago. After learning the news, Dugu Jialuo rushed to the palace overnight to kowtow and plead for his daughter. It was not until she kowtowed and she was bleeding. Yuwen Yun was relieved. Now her daughter is willing to be humiliated for her granddaughter. Is this the fate of their three generations of grandparents?

Thinking of how much hardship my daughter suffered and how much grievance she suffered, Dugu Jialuo said in his mouth with a pale face: "Who is that thief? Who is the thief who harmed my daughter!"
