Concubine Xian seemed to notice Concubine Shu's strange appearance, the corners of her lips sneered, but she didn't do it, her green jade fingers caressed the jasper ring on her fingers, and she took a deep breath, but she didn't know what kind of mood she was in, sitting here waiting for Xiao Tong's news.

After sitting for a while, there was still no movement outside the hall, and everyone seemed to be unable to sit still, originally these concubines came just to see Hu Zhaoyi's appearance, but they didn't want to see the beauty, but they waited for a few hours, and the queen mother saw that everyone was in turmoil, and she seemed to have a number, so she sighed and said to Han Gonggong: "It's already dusk, and there is no news from the guards sent out?" ”

Gonggong Han looked at the outside of the hall full of snow, and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, the guards outside the hall will report a stick of incense, and there will be absolutely no omissions in the news." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help but close her eyes, reached out and rubbed her forehead a little weakly, waved her hand, and sighed: "Since this is the case, let the concubines disperse, they came today, I am afraid that they thought that the emperor and Hu Zhaoyi would be here." With that, he held his forehead and said nothing.

Seeing the queen mother's expression, Han Gonggong secretly raised his head and glanced at the concubine Du with a slightly dignified face, a little, his eyes turned, he shook off the dust, and screamed to the people outside the hall, and said: "The queen mother has a will, the imperial concubine is coming back very late, and there is no need for the little lady to wait" As soon as the words fell, all the concubines got up one after another as if relieved, and then blessed the queen mother, the concubine, the lady concubine, and the virtuous concubine, a little, and planned to leave in twos and threes, but at this time, he heard a scream outside the hall, and said: "The emperor, Hu Zhaoyi and Niangniang have arrived"

The queen mother was slightly stunned, and hurriedly raised her head, and the concubines in the hall also stopped, all of them looked at the emperor with sad or happy faces, a little, knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "The concubines see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live" and then many lower-grade concubines also said to Hu Zhaoyi: "The cheap concubine has seen Zhaoyi Niangniang"

Yu Haoxuan's face was grim, and he strode towards the hall, and then knelt down on one knee in front of the queen mother under the stone steps, and said, "The son sees the queen mother." Then he got up and walked up the stone steps, sitting next to the Queen Mother, her eyes were cold, and her deep voice implied anxiety: "Does the Queen Mother have any news of Qingyi?" ”

The Queen Mother looked at the emperor's handsome face and was nervous, knowing that he was impatient, but she could only sigh, stretched out her hand to hold the emperor's hand, and comforted: "The emperor is not in a hurry, today's temple fair, the imperial capital must be very lively, Xue'er has lived in the deep palace for a long time, it is rare to go out once, Xu missed the time to return to the palace because of playfulness." ”

Before the Queen Mother finished speaking, Yu Haoxuan's sword eyebrows were already tightly twisted, and the calmness in his eyes had already been covered with an indescribable emotion, like panic, but like hidden anger, he clenched his fists, his face was cold, as if he was trying to restrain something.

Seeing this, Hu Zhaoyi hurriedly stepped forward to hold the emperor's hand clenched into a fist, and comforted him softly: "The emperor is relieved, the imperial concubine is the first talented woman in the imperial capital, smart and dexterous, and now she has received the emperor's favor, and she is pregnant with the emperor's heir, she must be a Hongfu Qitian" said, and looked at the heavy snow flying outside the hall with a light smile, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you see, it is snowing so heavily outside, and it must be difficult to drive on the road, so it is reasonable for the imperial concubine to delay the time to come back, besides, if the imperial concubine knows that the emperor is so worried about her, she will be distressed." ”

Hu Zhaoyi's words fell, there was silence in the hall, everyone cautiously raised their heads to look up at the emperor's handsome face, looked at each other, but no one dared to speak, Concubine Xian lowered her head, when Concubine Shu seemed to snort coldly with some disdain, she raised her head slightly to look at the emperor's handsome figure, her eyes flashed a trace of pain, and she clenched into a fist, as if only in this way could she restrain herself from rushing forward to tell the emperor Xiao Tong's vicious behavior, and confided that Xiao Tong was such a poisonous woman who was not worthy of the emperor's concern

After a while, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when everyone was silent, she said slightly: "What Hu Zhaoyi said makes sense, the snow is falling outside the hall, not to mention the carriage, even people are very difficult to walk, not to mention that the market path is not as good as in the palace, and delays are inevitable, so "Concubine Xian looked at the concubines who were kneeling on the ground, but they all stretched their necks to peep at the emperor, pursed her lips and said: "In addition to the flower beauty, the other concubines should retreat and rest according to the queen mother's wishes." ”

When those concubines heard Concubine Xian's words, as if they saw an enemy, they turned their eyes to Concubine Xian, glaring angrily, but they didn't dare to make a sound, a little, only to see the Queen Mother say softly: "Kneel down, kneel down." ”

"Concubines, concubines retire" When the concubines heard the queen mother's order, they bowed their heads one after another, and then reluctantly withdrew from the hall.

Seeing the concubines leaving, Hu Zhaoyi let go of her hands, retreated to the side of Concubine Xian, and sat next to the flower beauty who was left behind just now, but as soon as she sat down, she heard Concubine Shu's lukewarm taunt: "Isn't this Hu Zhaoyi, at first glance in this palace, I thought it was the concubine Niangniang" said, smiled softly, and took a sip of tea as if to hide her gaffe.

The stiff atmosphere in the hall just now was stirred up by Concubine Shu's sudden words that could not be touched, and even the faces of the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian changed slightly, a little, only to hear Concubine Du say in a round: "I thought the same when I first saw Hu Zhaoyi, but it is true that I haven't seen the concubine for some days" Saying, he coughed lightly, and the phoenix eyes turned to Hua Rushuang, who was sitting beside Hu Zhaoyi, and glared.

When the flower beauty saw Concubine Du's eyes, the hand holding the silk handkerchief shook unconsciously, she raised her head, looked at the emperor's cold face, but lowered her head jerky, bit her lower lip with her teeth, and clenched her hands

Seeing this, Concubine Du's face changed slightly, and she put down the tea bowl with some annoyance, coughed again, and then saw Gonggong Han looking at the flower beauty, and whispered: "Master Hua, make tea for the emperor."

Hua Meiren was startled, and hurriedly stood up, but she didn't know what to do abruptly, but, at this moment, she only heard a long report outside the hall, saying: "Report" and then I saw a royal forest army dressed in armor and covered with snowflakes and muddy water running into the main hall, kneeling on the ground, clasping fists with both hands, and said: "See the emperor, the emperor is groomed, and the imperial concubine Niangniang sent her subordinates to pass the message."

Everyone suddenly stood up with a whoosh, and the queen mother was excited and just wanted to ask, but saw that the emperor had stepped down the stone steps, and walked into the front of the main hall stiffly in the surprise of everyone, and then stretched out his hand as if he was forcibly restraining something, grabbed the soldier's clothes, and said in a low voice with a hint of panic and hidden anger: "What about people? Don't tell the Imperial Concubine that she escaped."

Everyone was stunned, first they didn't understand the meaning of the emperor's words, and after a while, when they came back to their senses, they only heard Concubine Xian say in a low voice: "It turns out that the emperor is afraid that she will leave" It turned out that the emperor was so cold and restrained, thinking that Qingyi had fled the palace if he didn't return so far

In the main hall, there was a sudden silence, the words of the virtuous concubine pierced everyone's hearts like sharp thorns, the faces of the concubine and the flower beauty were slightly pale, and even the queen mother and the concubine froze, and the atmosphere froze.

The soldier who was grabbed by the emperor was even more frightened and bloodless, only to see that he was full of panic, and stammered: "If you go back to the emperor, Niangniang she passed through the wetland grove on the way to the car, and the carriage was not allowed to move forward, so she sent her subordinates back to the palace to keep the emperor and the queen mother safe", said, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and when the emperor's eyes were slightly stunned and he let go of his hand, he knelt on the ground and trembled.

The Queen Mother's heart seemed to have fallen from a high mountain into a stone valley, she closed her eyes and gasped, but the whole person was paralyzed, but fortunately, Gonggong Han and Concubine Xian stepped forward in time to support her

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay" The Queen Mother sat on the phoenix couch with the support of the two, and kept chattering, but then she seemed to remember something, stood up again, looked at the soldier who had been scared and didn't know how to be good, and said anxiously: "How about the concubine Chende?" Did she cause trouble for the imperial concubine along the way? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, Concubine Chende Niangniang, she was fine all the way, but she just kept calling the emperor all the way, and told the imperial concubine a lot of things with the emperor", the soldier didn't dare to hide anything, and said tremblingly word by word, and after speaking, the whole person was prostrate on the ground, not daring to breathe

Everyone was stunned again, and later, they all looked at the emperor who was standing under the palace, heroic, but full of cold, and their hearts were concerned, and then, they saw Hu Zhaoyi, who was standing on the side, lifting his skirt and walking down, cautiously approaching the emperor, and whispered: "Emperor" and then looked up at the emperor's handsome but cold face, hesitated a little, pursed his lips and said: "Your Majesty, since the imperial concubine is not the emperor, you don't have to worry, it's better to go back to Qinxin Palace to rest first" Saying, he was about to come forward to support the emperor, But just as he was about to touch the sleeve of the emperor, he was waved back

Yu Haoxuan's face was calm, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking, but anyone could see that today's emperor seemed to be trying his best to restrain something, that kind of suffocating depression, as if it would explode in an instant, but it was fiercely suppressed, for a long time, just when the concubines didn't dare to speak, and even when they were waiting to see Hu Zhaoyi's joke, they heard the emperor's deep voice and said slightly hoarsely: "Swing and drive"

As soon as Gonggong Qin heard the swing, he hurriedly broke the suffocating condensation atmosphere, screamed at the guards outside the hall, and sang: "Swing" and then followed behind the cold steps of the cold emperor with Hu Zhaoyi, and hurriedly left the main hall of Kunning Palace.

Concubine Shu looked at the back of the emperor leaving, and pulled the silk handkerchief fiercely with her green and white pre-harvest, her face was suddenly cold, and her eyes were full of heart-wrenching jealousy, but the virtuous concubine standing beside her just lowered her eyes in frustration and clenched her fists tightly.

The sky is getting dark, the cold wind is howling, and the snowflakes are flying

In the grove, heavy snow fell all over the small trees and cedars, and the armor of the guards was also piled up with thick snow, and everyone was constantly breathing the heat, and the snowflakes flying everywhere had already fascinated people's eyes

Xiao Tong stood in the snow and walked back and forth, stretched out her hand to block her forehead, looking at the front that she couldn't see clearly, the anxiety in her eyes became more and more obvious, she held her frozen red fist, looked down at the traces of the car that had been covered by heavy snow, couldn't help but close her eyes, turned to look at the coachman who was standing aside and kept cleaning the snow on the carriage, and said with some irritation: "Didn't you say that going to the market is the time to have a stick of incense?" It's almost an hour now, why haven't you seen anyone yet? ”

It was already dark, and there were no flints or dry matches here, and even if they were lucky enough to catch game, there was no way to keep these cold and hungry soldiers hungry and warm.

The coachman's face was also extremely ugly, and his lips, which had been slightly cracked by the cold wind, had been frozen purple, he took two steps forward, squinted his eyes at the end of the woods in the very dark light, rubbed his hands, took a breath of heat, and whispered: "If you return to the little master, it will not take long for the soldiers to go back and forth, but I am afraid that this private salt is indeed difficult to find, and even if someone dares to sell illegal salt, they may not dare to sell it to soldiers wearing military uniforms with the word 'Yu'."

Xiao Tong's eyes widened, he was stunned for a moment after hearing the coachman's words, and then turned around and walked to the carriage with difficulty in stepping on the thick snow, jumped into the carriage with some difficulty, lifted the curtain of the car, looked up at Qingyi who was closing his eyes in the carriage, and whispered: "Miss, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave today", said, cautiously walked into the carriage, glanced at Ouyang Hongyu, who was still asleep, and pursed his lips even more helplessly.

Qingyi opened his eyes slightly, there was no trace of ripples in the clear eyes, and when he saw that Xiao Tong's light purple robe was full of snow slag, he sighed lightly, stretched out his hand to open the curtains, glanced at a snow-white scene in the woods and said: "I know that they must not be able to buy illegal salt", the imperial capital of the imperial city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to sell illegal salt here?

Xiao Tong was stunned, his eyes widened and he looked at the calm Qingyi, and couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "Why did the young lady send someone to buy illegal salt?" "Even took all the dry rations from the wagon, and if they didn't come back, then wouldn't they

"I just think that these soldiers have some expectations in their hearts, if we don't give all those dry rations and silver to the departing soldiers, do you think those soldiers can stay in the carriage so comfortingly, driven by cold and hunger at this time?" Saying that, Qingyi pursed her lips and smiled, closed her eyes lightly, and said coldly: "The news of our trapped should have been transmitted back to the palace, but I don't know if the one who came here first is friend or foe."

Xiao Tong was puzzled, she looked at Qingyi who was as calm as water at a loss, and couldn't help but hold her hands together, a little, she took a deep breath, pursed her frozen purple lips, and said a little unwillingly: "What does Miss mean that even if the news reaches the palace, I'm afraid that someone will come to the rescue first, and the army will come to kill us?" If so, aren't they more than lucky today?

"Maybe" Qingyi sighed lightly, then opened her eyes, and glanced at Ouyang Hongyu, who was sleeping with slightly twisted eyebrows and looked a little incomforted, reached out and clenched her hands, lightly curled her long eyelashes, and when her eyes touched the jasper ring ring on her ring finger, her heart hurt, but she clenched her fists even more, and said coldly: "It's coming"

Xiao Tong was slightly stunned, looking at Qingyi's suddenly condensed expression for some unknown reasons, and then when he heard a hissing sound in his ears that was different from being whistling in the wind, his eyes flashed, and he turned his head sharply to open the curtain of the carriage, only to see a stream of blood streak across his eyes, and the coachman had already fallen beside the carriage before he could call for help, and his wide-eyed head rolled down on the bloodstained snow.

The sound of fighting suddenly sounded around, the sound of weapons colliding was very pleasant, Xiao Tong's eyes widened, her heart was stunned by this sudden change, a little, she turned her head in a panic to look at Qingyi's still cold expression, but she didn't know what to say

Qingyi looked at Xiao Tong's flustered look, her pink lips were pursed very tightly, and then she narrowed her eyelashes to look at Ouyang Hongyu, who was woken up by this noise, suddenly opened the sedan curtain, and before Xiao Tong could stop it, she suddenly jumped out and turned out

"Miss" Xiao Tong shouted in fright, and then turned around and wanted to get out of the carriage, but Ouyang Hongyu, who had just woken up beside her, seemed to be frightened, suddenly sat up and grabbed Xiao Tong's long sleeves, opened a pair of confused but panicked big eyes, and murmured: "I'm afraid of the emperor, I'm afraid."

Qingyi stood on the roof of the carriage, barking wildly mixed with the flying snow and falling wildly on her dark brocade fur, blowing the hair on her sideburns fluttering messily, like a fairy who had fallen into the dust, cold and incomprehensible.

She was beautiful and lightly, looking at the heavy bloody atmosphere around the carriage and the corpses of the Royal Forest Army that had fallen to the ground in an instant, she raised her head slightly, her eyes turned to the evergreen cedars around her, and said leisurely in the cold air: "What a fast knife technique"

The wind, whistling by, blowing up the long sleeves of the clear ripples, as if the dark robe was swaying in the wind, a little, only to hear the laughter of different colors in all directions of the woods, such as children, such as old women, such as strong men, and like young women filled the whole forest, just like ghosts, extremely strange and terrifying

"It's terrible, it's terrible, it's terrible" In the carriage, Ouyang Hongyu's frightened voice came faintly, and then she heard Xiao Tong's tireless reprimand, and then slapped her on the back, a little, Xiao Tong turned over and flew out of the carriage, wearing purple clothes fluttering in the wind and snow, standing shoulder to shoulder with Qingyi on the roof of the carriage.

"Miss" Xiao Tong breathed hot air in his mouth, and when he saw all the soldiers around him who fell on the snow, his heart was shocked, and then he looked up in shock at the black pressure around the woods, and listened to the weird and terrifying laughter in his ears, clenched his fists, and said coldly: "What a poisonous knife technique, it is so fast"

As soon as the words fell, the smell of blood around him turned out to be even stronger, and suddenly, several humanoid objects fell from the dim sky, and fell heavily on the ground, Qingyi was slightly stunned, and when he looked closely, he found that it was the dead body of a pale soldier, and the appearance of death was as if he had been sucked dry.
