Qingchuan History

Chapter 799
He actually does this all the time.

Apart from keeping the secrets of Zhou Mountain, at least based on what Ruan Xueyin heard and saw for more than ten years, he has always been tied to his master for life and death.

So when the other party spoke, she was silent for a long time, and then she just spoke:
"Remember your promise to Chunfeng. Take her to see the peach blossoms in Buzhou Mountain."

Shen Ji didn't respond to this sentence.

After this sentence, there was a long winter night until the first dawn, and the whole team just hurried on their way without talking.

When the sun is dim and the sky is gray, the first snow falls.

The queen left the palace according to a secret decree, and came back through the most remote Changxin Gate.It was the first time in Jinghong's six years that she went out of the palace to return to Pengxi Mountain. Ten days later, she came back with the incense, and she walked through this door. Inside the door were Yunxi and Tangli.

Today Yunxi was also there, but he stood at the back, Gein was the first to bear the brunt of waiting in the middle, and it was Gu Xinglang.

With the dragon pattern cloak on his body, he was completely white, but the existence of black hair and jade crown prevented him from being completely hidden in the snow.

Although the snow was fierce, it just started to fall, and there was no accumulation on the ground.However, Ruan Xueyin felt that she was stepping on the snow flakes that were about to touch the ground step by step, and each time she stepped on them, the blossoms melted away, and soon the toes of her shoes were wet.

Coming up to her, Gu Xinglang smiled at her, said hard work, stretched his arms to cover her with a crimson cloak, and looked down at the short boots on her feet.

It is clearly a man's style, and she dresses inexplicably elegantly.

Ruan Xueyin stared at his face. "Why do you have to wait in person? It's cold and you wake up so early." After staring at him for a long time, he saw the tiredness between his brows, "It's still—"

Up all night?

Gu Xinglang still smiled, "You are not afraid of the cold when you go out to do errands, and you have not slept all night, how can I sleep alone in the warm bed?"

No matter how thorough the arrangement is, I don't feel at ease. I need to keep my eyes open to confirm that she is safe.

Ruan Xueyin smiled and took his arm, "Let's go."

Gu Xinglang turned around, took a pair of cotton boots from Yunxi, and squatted down.

"do not--"

Besides the well-known favor of the whole palace, the lord squatting in full view to change the queen's shoes is too much.She resisted in a low voice.

Gu Xinglang was never hindered by her, and ordered Yunxi to go forward to help her up, and calmly began to take off her wet boots.

The jade feet were cold, and he covered them with warm and dry palms for a while.

After everything was done, Fang got up to check it out, took her hand and walked into the palace, then smiled and said, "With your outfit, who knows that you are an empress."

There is no such thing as silver here, so I really don't care about it.Ruan Xueyin followed his words and said, "It's even more surprising that your majesty is changing shoes for an unknown pawn or a man."

Gu Xinglang nodded: "Recently, the atmosphere has become a bit heavy, so it's not bad to pass on a joke that is as good as Long Yang's."

"Your Majesty may be as good as Long Yang, and the two adults who have served for more than ten years were spared."

The two adults pointed to Di Yan and Shen Ji.

Ruan Xueyin would never make such a joke even if she said it well.Going too far and not her usual style, of course, is intentional.

At least subconsciously.

Gu Xinglang stopped and turned to Shen Ji, "I haven't closed my eyes all night, go back and rest. If you didn't discuss things yesterday, come to discuss with me tomorrow or later today."

Shen Ji complied with the order, bowed deeply, turned around and left the palace gate.

The heavier the snow, it covered the inch of light that had finally broken through the clouds, and the dawn returned to the night, quickly blurring Shen Ji's tall and tall back.

Both of them wore the hoods of their cloaks, and stood side by side in the heavy snow to watch the figure fade away. After a long time, the snow curtains everywhere were still watching.

Di Yan was the closest to them, and was separated by a distance of one zhang. After a while, he saw snow particles piled up between the white velvet brims of their hats, and finally stepped forward with his umbrella.

The umbrella was big enough to cover a couple of people, but it was heavy. Gu Xinglang took it calmly and held it above their heads. "Go to Mingguang Terrace to see the snow?"

From the commanding heights of Qi Palace, you can see the entire capital, and the capital will be covered with snow, which is already spectacular when you think about it.

Ruan Xueyin nodded.

After the imperial decree was issued, Mingguangtai was fully prepared before the arrival of the two masters.

Because the queen was afraid of the cold, the charcoal basins were connected to each other on the high platform, and the curtains were lowered to collect the heat.The tea and food were also served piping hot. Ruan Xueyin drank two bowls of ginger soup and ate some soft food. She gradually felt warm blood flowing from her dantian to her limbs. She felt warm and felt drowsy.

Between the roof tiles of the city gates and roofs near and far, the snow is still thin, and it is thickening as fast as it can be seen with the naked eye.Gu Xinglang seemed to be listening to the sound of snow, and seemed to be counting the tiles. In short, his mind was far away, until Ruan Xueyin said leisurely:
"Let him go to the west."

The other side didn't return right away.

The sound of snow rustled between the sky and the earth, and occasionally one or two black spots moved across the streets. It was the people who got up early, clearing the front door for the first snow that came suddenly.

"Old or new?" he asked after a while.

The old western border is the former border of Qiying, which is the eastern edge of the new Qixi new area; the new one is naturally the western border of the former Yin country, west of Qingchuan, and continuing westward, the plateau connects with deep valleys, and one can reach Buzhou Mountain by trekking day and night.

"New ones." Ruan Xueyin replied softly, "Although the old western border has set up a small-scale pass," because of the stability of the past few years of integration, "letting Shen Ji guard it is overkill."

In fact, defending the new western territory is also very useful.After all, there are few people in the west, and there is no country.Both of them knew it well.

"He invited you himself?"

"He asked me what I meant, and I suggested it."

"He agrees, please come and advise. Is it just guarding the border, or is it in charge of the army?"

"It's all up to the king to decide."

The sound of snow reverberated between heaven and earth for a moment.Ruan Xueyin suddenly felt that the so-called snow sounded like thunder on the day she was born, maybe it was not a rumor, but a real scene.

"He was almost killed in escort, and he made great contributions. He recovered after recuperating for nearly a whole year. Once he goes to the border, he can't be subdued by others. He must be the leader of the frontier general." After a long time, Gu Xinglang returned.

"Your Majesty thinks it is appropriate."

"The question is, do you think it is appropriate? You are the one who advises, and there is absolutely no half truth in what you say."

Gu Xinglang turned to look at her.If it weren't for his still gentle expression and soft tone of voice, it would be very easy to cause misunderstandings just by using words to make sentences.

"The concubine thinks that she can command soldiers."

"He's made up his mind."

"Yes."

"How credible is it?"

"very."

Gu Xinglang twitched his gentle brows.

The bright light in the eyes also moves, inquiring about meaning.

"If those aristocratic families who have already been suspected are found out in the end, how does your majesty plan to deal with it?"

Obviously he was waiting for her to say that Shen Ji was very credible, but she bypassed it, or she was using another thing to test his possible attitude towards Shen Ji.

"How do you count as being honest?"

This is also the most puzzling part of Ruan Xueyin.

It was also the only thing Shen Ji didn't confess to her.

Or did he not know?

From time to time, whether it is a new monarch or a new system, the help of swords and soldiers is inevitable. It is one thing to use it and how much it is used.

And these conspirators, no matter the leader or deputy, from Anatan to the family, where are their weapons?
Still in the hands of the king.After thinking about it in every possible way, Ruan Xueyin could only come up with this kind of explanation.So they have been attracting momentum, promoting momentum, and finally taking advantage of momentum, just like Anatan instructed, follow the general trend.This is also the reason why the family has been hiding on the chessboard for a long time without being discovered.

She didn't mention Anatan, and only spoke out the speculation in the name of the family.

"I think so too." Gu Xinglang nodded, "So when it's time to sit down, it must be time for you to die. It's your life, so there's no need to discuss how to deal with it."

"Will you wait until then?" She stopped looking at him, and turned to look at the snow outside the curtain.

"I have to wait until the whole matter can be completely resolved. In this way, when our child, or Xiao Mo ascends the throne, the situation will be truly settled."

He never personally said that Xiao Mo was the heir's choice.But of course, from the first year she went to Xiling, it was very clear that now that the princess is born, Xiao Mo is still on the list, the difference is only in the order - if it is true as he joked in the past, he would like to register Chao Chao as the empress dowager; This woman.

And the whole thing, so far, has been so huge that it has crossed national boundaries and time, and even the mysterious 300-year Jizhao Pavilion is also included.

Ruan Xueyin believes in the so-called general trend. If there is any evidence, the answer is Heluotu.

The teacher said that the Jizhao Pavilion might be opened at this time, so it was not a speculation, but a forecast.

"He said Mu Furong." Fang picked up his original intention of leaving the palace last night.

Gu Xinglang was stunned for a moment and immediately understood, "Which season is it blooming?"

"Autumn."

Endless summer, hibiscus and snow drop flower, assuming that this guess is reasonable, there is still a spring.

"I've been making unannounced visits to the other companies, but so far, nothing has been found."

"If there are lineups from both countries, then there may be clues in the north."

Gu Xinglang nodded, "I still want to write a letter to Jing Tingge, please ask."

The sound of snow seems to be decreasing, but it is not due to the decrease in momentum, but because the city is waking up, doors and windows are opening, adults are working, and children are wrapped up and running out.

The snow piled up gradually, and the impatient children couldn't wait for the snow to stop. They squatted down and began to pile up, and soon attracted nearby playmates to join.

The snowman hadn't been piled up for a long time, but three rounds of snowball fights were fought, and laughter broke through the snow and fog.

"It is said that children's laughter is like silver bells," Gu Xinglang smiled and shook his head.

"So it was about girls." Ruan Xueyin answered knowingly, and also smiled, "These little boys all have a voice like a bell."

Gu Xinglang suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked, "Would you like to continue the female class?"

These words were originally abrupt, but after being asked after last night, they seemed to be on target.

Although Ruan Xueyin did not fully reveal the content of the conversation with Shen Ji.

"In any case, women's class is an act of progress for generations. Isn't it good in Shenquan Town?"

"En." Gu Xinglang replied, especially long, looking at the snow and fog all over the sky, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if his eyes were burned by the snow, "Okay."

Ruan Xueyin couldn't tell whether it was the good voice or his uneasy expression. "Let's go back? It's time for the children to wake up."

Gu Xinglang closed his eyes, and when he looked at her again, his eyes were already clear and gentle. "Just take them for a snowball fight."
