Liangdu

I still don’t want to go out recently.

In the backyard, Pei Shuyi secretly released a pigeon.

The thumping sound prompted chattering and shouting: "What are you doing?"

Pei Shuyi looked at her sideways and said, "Miss, let the geese go free."

Chatcha illuminated it with a lantern. The wild goose cage and the rabbit cage were both open.

Tang Jing held two wild geese in one hand and a rabbit leg in the other.

The little animals have been fed well and are reluctant to leave. They are too lazy to struggle when caught.

Except for the unfamiliar pigeon, it was strangled to death and thrown to the ground.

"This fat pigeon will make pigeon soup for the girl."

Chatter happily carried the pigeon and left.

After everyone had gone away, Pei Shuyi took a deep breath.

She squatted on the ground and searched for a quarter of an hour, and finally found the note among the flowers.

"Why are you still here?"

Chatter looked confused, "Catching bugs at night?"

Pei Shuyi's throat rolled, and she turned around and said, "I dropped my things."

He stood up and held a bell in his hand.

He snorted as he walked past Chacha.

Chatter stared at her back and clenched his fists.

Tian Yunyun walked out of the darkness, wondering in her heart, "The prince's people?"

And how much can you trust Tang Jing’s words?

Tian Yunyun looked in the direction of the palace wall in the distance and sighed silently.

The prince walked into the imperial concubine's palace and saw a woman kneeling on the ground.

She sobbed softly and slapped herself.

The prince leaned lazily on his chair,

"My concubine, let me come here and watch you punish the maid?"

"If you don't like it, I'll kill it."

The woman was so frightened that she fell to the ground and shouted: "My dear concubine, please spare my life! Please spare your life!"

Concubine: "Who asked you to stop?"

The two maids immediately stepped forward and pulled her up, slapping her face one on the left and the other on the right.

The red and swollen face immediately swelled like a pig's head.

"This damn concubine Jue."

The imperial concubine glanced at her armor and said, "Now I am a noble lady."

The nobleman Jue cried: "Your Majesty, I am also thinking about your Majesty!"

The imperial concubine had a mocking smile on her face and a stern expression on her face.

"You took it upon yourself to kill Mrs. Tian in order to turn mother and son against each other. It's a plan to kill two birds with one stone."

"Unjust, wronged!" Mr. Jue touched the wound, but did not dare to cry out in pain.

The prince raised his hand impatiently, "It's so noisy."

The two maids who slapped looked at the imperial concubine and stopped.

The prince sat upright and flicked the non-existent dust.

"I've seen enough drama, let's deal with this ugly guy quickly!"

Concubine: "Are you deaf if you don't take action yet?"

Jue Guiren panicked and grabbed the expensive carpet on the ground, forcefully throwing away the person holding her arm.

"My dear concubine, please spare your life! I am still useful. Your Majesty likes to see me sing, huh."

The prince walked out and the miserable screams suddenly stopped.

He felt refreshed and disgusted with himself.

Every time I feel bad, I go to the study room and my irritable mood will soon calm down.

Looking at the lifelike woman in the painting, he wondered what she would do outside the palace.

Tian Yunyun has been standing in this posture for a long time.

The heavy cloak fell on her shoulders before she came back to her senses.

She sighed silently, went back to the house and lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.

Why is her mother so rich that she can't match the country's wealth?

The father was chewing the steamed buns but was unwilling to touch what her mother had left behind.

Tian Yunyun felt distressed in her heart.

My parents are loving, my father is kind and my daughter is filial, but the only thing missing is my mother who lives in my memory.

It’s better not to spend the things your mother left for her carelessly.

The Zhuangzi left to her is slowly getting back on track.

Tian Yunyun couldn't sleep so she simply found out the points of her banknote.

The news of her counting money in the middle of the night soon reached Master Tian's ears.

"Xiao Liuzi, summon the old team."

Uncle Liu bowed respectfully, "Yes."

One night, a highly skilled man in black walked on the rubble and delivered one letter after another.

King Jing sent someone to send back a letter as fast as possible, saying that the front line was in urgent need of food and medicine.

It has been half a month since the messenger arrived without resting and delivered the letter to the palace.

The people were in an uproar for a while. The food harvest was short due to natural disasters last year, and the food that had been saved had already been transported to the front lines and border crossings.

Where can I find ready-made food?

This battle is probably unwinnable.

His Majesty the Emperor followed the advice of his ministers and called back the vassal king who had already left his fiefdom.

The vassal prince's mother clan is powerful and is about to catch up with the former prince in terms of ability. Before the prince's position is secure, another opponent emerges.

The situation between North Korea and China is bound to change.

After retiring from the court, His Majesty retained Zhang Shilang.

A homing pigeon landed on the roof of Baoxia where Pei Shuyi lived.

—Gu Gu—

Pei Shuyi opened the door, raised her hand and the carrier pigeon landed on her hand.

She glanced around, quickly entered the house and closed the door.

After a few breaths, the door opened again.

She walked quickly towards the west wing where Tian Yunyun lived.

He knocked on the door and opened it without waiting for an answer.

He knelt on his knees and raised his hands above his head, with a piece of paper unfolded in his hands.

Tian Yunyun glanced at her and asked softly: "What's wrong?"

Pei Shuyi: "News from the palace."

Tian Yunyun walked over and picked up the note, "No need to kneel when there are no outsiders."

"King Jing said that there is a shortage of food and grass and he needs my help?" There was confusion in his tone, but he was relieved in an instant.

The dividends of the past two years were sent to Yan Kuanji and Tang Qibai. He probably knew how much grain was stored in Jingchang Village.

Besides, Fude County is two days’ journey from Liangdu, the border area.

Tian Yunyun thought for a moment and immediately decided to set off.

King Jing's second letter arrived a few days after her departure.

The battle situation on the front line is far more tragic than everyone imagined.

All the war horses in the city were eaten, and it was almost the same over there.

The siege once every half month became ten days, then once every three days, and the fighting became more and more intense.

Tian Yunyun worked hard and finally returned to Fude County ten days later.

This was the first time I rode such a long journey on horseback, and Tang Jing was the one who carried me off the horse.

The pain that was biting his heart was excruciating and he immediately called Youzhuangtou.
