Xichuan is in trouble...
Xichuan is in trouble!
When I realized these four words, these four words were like a burst of thunder in my mind. At this moment, the rumbling sound was endless. I could only be glad that I left early and there was no one around me. Otherwise, I would probably not hear anything no matter what the people around me said.
If Pei Yuanxiu really noticed my strangeness, it would be really miserable!
Xichuan is in trouble!
No wonder the banquet that day was hidden from me, and the people attending the banquet were the forces on both sides of Jinling and Shengjing. If they just talked about Han Zitong and Gardi, so that they could get along well in the harem, there would be no need to call Zheng and the generals together.
Calling a general means that the next thing you need is a general!
No wonder, in the next few days, the forces of Jinling and Shengjing are no longer as tit-for-tat as before, and even the turmoil in the Xishan Camp has been quelled. The whole capital is so quiet that there is always such a strange calm before the storm. They all have to prepare for a big thing now. Even Song Xuan’s words that he was tired recently that he had just been unintentionally revealed - they have begun to prepare for war, and the Xishan Camp has begun to mobilize people and food, so there will be several changes in defense!
Pei Yuanxiu wanted to appease Jinling, either to point out a way for them to return south, or to let these soldiers continue to fight and make money in war; as for him to appease Shengjing, he would understand even more. Shengjing was originally a matter of money. Since the money could not be taken from Jiangnan, of course, he had to take it from another place as rich as Jiangnan!
Moreover, for them, Shu has not set foot in for decades, a mysterious and rich place, so of course they want to go and see it.
What's more, when internal contradictions gather to a certain extent, if this contradiction cannot be completely resolved, the best way for high-ranking people is to use external forces to suppress them and focus the contradiction elsewhere.
Shengjing and Jinling can be twisted together by him now!
I grabbed the tablecloth on the table with force, almost twisted it and tore it apart, and gritted my teeth and laughed sadly.
Neither Han Zitong nor Gardi came to see me again. In fact, it was not that he did not dare to see me, but that Pei Yuanxiu must have greeted them. I saw that people were too meticulous, and both of them were people who were happy and angry, so it was easy for me to see the clues. If something was revealed in my words, I would discover this.
In eight days, he would ascend the throne and become emperor and would enthrone me as the queen.
After that, as the emperor, the first imperial edict was to point to Xichuan and use the two forces of Jinling and Shengjing to fight the "Queen"'s hometown.
What an ironic thing?
No wonder that night, he wanted to blindfold my eyes, he wanted me to continue sleeping. When I asked him, one day, everything he would not see would come into my eyes. How could he still blindfold my eyes, he said, by that day, I would have to stay with him.
Of course, Xichuan was destroyed and the Yan family was destroyed.
Even everything that Qinghan left me would turn into ashes under the trampling of war and iron hooves.
By that time, I would completely become a bird with broken wings. Even if I still have the sky and the ocean in my heart, I would not be able to fly.
Thinking of this, I felt pain as if my chest was twisted like a knife. My hands were uncontrollably tightened the tablecloth, almost pulling the entire tablecloth up, and the teapot and tea cup on the table were also trembling slightly.
But at this time, I gritted my teeth and almost violently suppressed the anger in my chest.
I can't get angry, I can't get angry.
I can't let him know at this time that I have known everything. Otherwise, not only will this matter be completely irreversible, but it will even affect Song Xuan and the others.
But even though I suppressed the pain in my heart, I still felt extremely difficult to bear. I could only pour myself a glass of water. Although the water in the pot was already cold, I drank it in one sip. The cold water slid down my throat. The coldness along the way made me shudder suddenly and I woke up a little from the anger just now.
I can't just be angry, I'm just angry.
I have to think of a way.
Pei Yuanxiu wants to fight Xichuan, but will Xichuan be as easy as Beijing?
The capital city had no food and money before, and it was also under Pei Yuanhao's deliberate arrangement that he withdrew all the people and left an empty city for them, so that they could be captured so easily; but Xichuan was different. Even when Emperor Gao entered the pass and carried the power of hundreds of battles, he could not completely capture Xichuan. What's more, now, after decades of rest and recuperation, Xichuan has sufficient money and food, and there is a natural danger to Shu Road; if they want to try to attack from the water, Yangzhou and Huaian have been taken down and Jinling has been isolated, they are absolutely unable to go up the river to attack Xichuan.
What is more likely is that their troops will be dragged down or even dragged down in Xichuan.
But then I thought about it, Pei Yuanxiu may not have thought of this.
The people in Jinling and Shengjing were both profit-oriented. If they took Xichuan, he would get temporary peace; if these people's troops were consumed in Xichuan, it would not be a bad thing for him.
But what can I do? At least before he ascended the throne, I had no freedom. Even if I had freedom, I would never have wings to spread the news to Xichuan. As for Pei Yuanhao... I have calculated his journey, even if he went day and night, he must have not left Shanxi yet. Besides, he still had to avoid the people sent here to search for him. Perhaps, he should be with Gongsun Shu, the Duke of Jin?
He was already unable to take care of himself, and I just hope Miaoyan would not be frightened.
As for the moment, here I...
I looked up at the window.
I don’t know if it was because I sensed that another bloody storm was about to be brought down on this land, but the weather, which was originally clear and clear, suddenly became dark clouds, and heavy dark clouds slowly gathered over the imperial city, as if a huge black hand was about to be suppressed, and the imperial city was about to destroy it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! I gritted my teeth and slowly placed my hand on the tablecloth that I had twisted into a wrinkle, slowly smoothing it out.
No matter what, I want to stabilize myself. Pei Yuanxiu refused to let Han Zitong and Gardi come to see me because I could easily see their strangeness, but I am the same. Just now, if I hadn't been able to control myself, Pei Yuanxiu would have seen my strangeness.
Before he ascended the throne, I must not make any mistakes!

Fortunately, after this day, Pei Yuanxiu was really busy.
Of course, it requires a lot of preparation, and even some officials' affairs must be arranged in advance; and the matter of his attack on Xichuan will not be disclosed before ascending the throne, but it must be done immediately after that, so in the next few days, he could hardly be seen in the harem. I just knew from the words of Eunuch Liu every time he came to greet him that he had been busy for several days and had not slept much.
And the late spring cold made everyone lose interest in going out for a visit.
The dark clouds gathered that day and they did not dissipate. The weather suddenly became colder from the original warmth. I heard that rain and snow even floated in some places, and the tender buds and bones in the palace that were drawn out because of the warmth of spring were frozen.
The entire imperial city became quiet and even became a little stiff and cold.
Of course, I didn't go out again and kept staying in the room to write my Buddhist scriptures. However, perhaps because of the difficulty in calming down, I never wrote one of my Buddhist scriptures. Once again, I even wrote the last word, which was ruined.
The flames that ignite from time to time in the brazier swallow the words of great wisdom.
Three days later, in the evening, the wind was not as strong as the previous two days. Pei Yuanxiu came when he was having supper.
When I saw him, I looked a little stunned. In fact, I hadn't figured out what expressions to use or what emotions to face him. He walked to the table, looked at my somewhat muddy expression, and smiled: "What's wrong? It seems like I don't know me anymore?"
As he said, he took off the thick white fox fur coat behind him, and a cold air followed.
I lowered my head and coughed lightly, cleared my throat before saying, "Why are you here?"
He sat down and looked at me gently: "Did you blame me for not seeing you these days?"
“…”
"I've been too busy these days and I really can't take time."
“…”
"Don't be angry, okay?"
“…”
I stubbornly slightly and said, "I'm not angry."
He looked at me and saw that I was not in high spirits, but my mood had never risen after I entered Beijing, so he didn't think it was surprising, so he asked them to come and have a meal immediately and eat with me.
Although I couldn't get excited, I tried my best to eat more when I was eating. He saw that my appetite was pretty good, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper, and just said, "Why are you still so thin?"
“…”
I was speechless. At this time, Eunuch Liu and two little eunuchs hurriedly walked in from outside, and even stood at the door panting with a trot: "Young Master, Miss Yan."
He rarely disturbs us when we eat alone. Pei Yuanxiu frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"
Eunuch Liu glanced at me, stepped forward carefully, and said, "There is news from the Song family that Old Lady Zhang is dead!"
"What?"
Pei Yuanxiu frowned suddenly.
At this moment, with a "clang" sound, he turned around and saw me sitting blankly at the table, the rice bowl in my hand fell to the ground, shattering it.
