Snowflakes dance in the wind.

Under several plum trees, a woman wrapped in a white fox fur stood under it, her hands stretched out, snowflakes, and plum blossoms fell on her hands.

The snowflakes quickly melted into droplets and fell between their fingers.

The plum blossom petals only stayed for a short time, and then disappeared with the wind.

For a long time, the woman's hands were still empty.

Sheng Zhonghuai stood in the distance, looking at this woman with a peerless face standing alone in the wind and snow, her green silk skirt fluttering, her face as white as porcelain, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

In my memory, when she married Zhu Youyu more than ten years ago, this is what it looks like.

More than ten years have passed, and the years have added countless gorgeous hairs and countless ravines to his head, but he seems to have forgotten this woman. Although she has given birth to two children, her face is still the same as it was back then.

It's a pity that this woman with a powerful family background is still playing a role ruthlessly. Even if her father and her husband are the top powerful people in the world, and they are the people who love her the most, they still can't shelter her.

I still remember that when I first knew that Emperor Zhu Wen had actually involved his daughter-in-law, and it was Zhu Wen's wife who contributed to this matter, my heart was really cold.

He knew that Zhu Youyu valued Dai Shu, and he also knew that Dai Chao loved this daughter.

He is also the one who knows Zhu Youyu's fiery temper best, and he knows that if this matter is exposed, he is afraid that it will cause a catastrophe, so he can only help cover it up.

It's a pity that the paper can't always contain the fire.

Things finally exploded.

And Zhu Youyu also exploded.

With a knife, the beam, which was originally in a thriving form, was also cut off all its vitality by this knife.

Fathers and sons cannibalize each other, and brothers fight against each other.

The spine of the girder is broken.

And in the process, Dai Shu lost her father, lost her husband, and she has lost all her relatives except for a pair of children.

And the nightmare doesn't end.

came to defect to Zhu Youqi, but the second highness also coveted her beauty, and his greed for her became more and more undisguised. From the beginning of some frivolity, temptation, but now more and more obvious coercion.

After only standing for a while, Sheng Zhonghuai felt that his hands and feet were cold, but Dai Shu didn't know how long he had been standing under the tree.

Walking over slowly, Sheng Zhonghuai said softly: "Niangniang, it's cold outside, and it's okay to enjoy plum blossoms in the house." ”

Dai Shu slowly turned her head, "Zhong Huai, are you here?" ”

Sheng Zhonghuai nodded: "Niangniang, go back to the room." ”

Dai Shu turned around and walked more, but she stumbled and almost fell, Sheng Zhonghuai hurriedly took a step forward, held her up, and waited for her to stand firm, but he was busy letting go of his hand.

"Mother, be careful."

"I've been standing for a long time, and my feet are numb." Dai Shu smiled self-deprecatingly, beat her legs for a while, and then walked towards the house.

As soon as she walked into the house, a warm air came to her face, and the girl quickly handed Dai Shu a hand stove, waited for Dai Shu to do it by the brazier, and poured hot tea for the two.

"I heard that Zhong Huai met with the person sent by the third child today?" Dai Shu stared at the faintly burning charcoal fire and asked softly.

"Yes." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "The Third Highness wants to win me over. Now he is at the end of his rope, Chang'an, Guanzhong can't keep it, he wants to find a way back. ”

"Do you want you to kill Zhu Lao'er?" Dai Shu sneered. "He's already killed his eldest brother, and now he doesn't even want to let his second brother go?"

Sheng Zhonghuai was silent.

"You promised him?" Dai Shu Huoran raised his head and looked at Sheng Zhonghuai, and his eyes became cold in an instant.

Sheng Zhonghuai nodded: "I told Sun Tonglin that if His Royal Highness is willing to go to the emperor's title, give up Chang'an Guanzhong, and lead the army to retreat to Hanzhong, I will help him capture Yizhou." ”

Hearing this, Dai Shu seemed to be a little awake, and smiled: "It turns out that you want to trick him into coming to Hanzhong, and then kill him to avenge Your Majesty, but unfortunately, he will never agree." ”

Sheng Zhonghuai shook his head and said: "No, Niangniang, with my understanding of His Royal Highness, he will definitely agree, and besides, I didn't lie to him to come to Hanzhong in order to kill him, if he really has such courage, I will indeed help him get Yizhou." ”

Dai Shu's face changed suddenly, looked at Sheng Zhonghuai, and said word by word: "Zhonghuai, have you forgotten who Your Majesty died at?" ”

Sheng Zhonghuai pondered for a moment and said: "Niangniang, the dead are gone, no matter what we do, they can't come back, and they can't know, now, I need to plan for the living, I need to plan for you, and a pair of children of Your Majesty." ”

"Zhu Laosan will let us go?"

"At least, the Third Highness is above his personal morality, and he is still blameless." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "Niangniang, Your Royal Highness is very urgent, if it goes on like this, unless I turn my face with him, I will no longer be able to protect you." ”

Suddenly, Dai Shu's face, who had just had some blood, turned snow-white again.

She covered her face and sobbed silently.

Sometimes, she really can't scratch this face, if it weren't for this face, Zhu Wen would not have possessed herself, Zhu Youyu would not have killed her father, and the Zhu brothers would not have killed each other, so that they fell to the point where they are now. And today, the second child of the Zhu family actually wants to dominate himself again.

Sheng Zhonghuai did not persuade him, and let Dai Shu cry happily.

"His Royal Highness has been forcing me to attack in the direction of Xiangyang immediately, of course, because everyone is now going to join forces to deal with Li Ze, but in his heart, what is more important is to drive me away, so that he can attack you, once he leads the army away, he will be unscrupulous." Sheng Zhonghuai said.

"As long as the children are okay, I don't care." Dai Shu resigned herself to her fate.

"No way!" Sheng Zhonghuai said angrily: "I will never allow such a thing to happen. ”

Sheng Zhonghuai's voice was so loud that it seemed to frighten Dai Shu a little, and she looked at Sheng Zhonghuai in a daze.

As if he was also aware of his gaffe, Sheng Zhonghuai took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"His Royal Highness, whether he is literate or martial, is not enough to take on the big responsibility, once the enemy attacks, he will not be able to hold Yizhou at all. Although the Third Highness has a gap with us, but this person is more trustworthy than the Second Highness regardless of public or private, if he can really go to the emperor this time and withdraw from Chang'an, it also shows his courage, if he can master Yizhou, he can protect us for a longer time, and it can also give me enough time to arrange for you and a pair of children of His Majesty to leave this place of right and wrong. ”

"Arrange for us to leave?" Dai Shu raised her red and swollen eyes in surprise and looked at Sheng Zhonghuai.

"Yes, leave!" Sheng Zhonghuai nodded: "Even if the Third Highness retreats to Yizhou, it is not a long-term solution, in terms of strength, after all, it is not comparable to Li Ze, nor is it comparable to Xiang Xun, the two tigers are fighting, we are sandwiched between them, it is very likely to become the first victim, the difference is only the length of time." And in the future, whether Li Ze wins the world or Xiang Xun wins the world, it will be difficult for you and your two children to live freely. Either I will be killed, or I will be imprisoned and will never see the light of day for the rest of my life, how can I let such a thing happen? ”

"But the world is so big, where can we go?"

"Of course there is somewhere to go." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "Overseas, I will arrange for you to go overseas." As long as you have enough money and enough force, there are countless islands overseas that can become your paradise, and above those islands, there are many uncivilized natives, where you can become a free queen and live as you want. No one will bother you anymore. ”

Listening to Sheng Zhonghuai's description, Dai Shu's eyes couldn't help but light up, if there was really such a life, how beautiful it would be.

"The people I sent out have already selected the target, and the sea boats to go to sea have also been ordered, the best sea ships built by Haixing Shipyard. Now I need time, I need the power to get more money to support this operation. Sheng Zhonghuai said: "The Second Highness can't meet my conditions for doing this, so I can only let the Third Highness come down and control Yizhou." ”

"Is it really possible to do this?"

"Please believe me, I will do it. We don't have a shortage of manpower, and now we lack a lot of money. Sheng Zhonghuai said: "When I arrived on the island, I hope that Niangniang will live in a luxurious palace, eat the best food, and enjoy the best life, instead of going to drill the ravine and live in a thatched house." ”

"So what do I need to do now?" Dai Shu asked.

"There's one thing I want to ask my mother for." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "Bringing Zhu Youqi to Hanzhong is the key to our success or failure, and when there is news from Chang'an, Niangniang might as well send a letter to the Second Highness, saying that it is not impossible for you to obey, but he must let him go to Hanzhong in person and welcome you back with the most solemn etiquette." You're not the kind of person who can be summoned and come and go. Zhu Youqi originally wanted to come to Hanzhong to force me to send troops, and with this letter from you, he must have come to Hanzhong in a hurry, and even the most basic precautions would be neglected. ”

Dai Shu's face flashed with shame, her eyelids drooped, and she didn't make a sound for a while.

"Niangniang, as long as His Royal Highness arrives in Hanzhong, he will never go back." Sheng Zhonghuai said. "After this pass, the sea and the sky will be wide, the sky will be high for the birds to fly, and the sea will be wide for the fish to swim. Even for the sake of two children, you have to do it. ”

Finally, Dai Shu nodded.

"Zhonghuai, if it is really as you say, when the time comes, my child and I will leave for overseas, will you also go? I'm used to you doing everything for me. ”

"It's easier for Niangniang to leave when the time comes, I want to go, I'm afraid it's more difficult." Sheng Zhonghuai smiled: "But as long as he is alive, Zhonghuai will definitely go to find Niangniang." ”
