"These are all given by His Majesty?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, your Majesty is very doting on the young master. He gives you gifts every time he comes!"
Ying Ziyu opened his eyes and saw Concubine Shu staring at him.
To be precise, he was staring at the golden lock next to him.
The little guy moved his body and tried hard to block the golden lock, not wanting Concubine Shu to see it.
But he was too young and couldn't stop her no matter how hard he tried, so he could only look at Concubine Shu eagerly.
[Oh, it’s a familiar part again. Did Mommy help you pick it up? 】
Concubine Shu:. . . .
Originally, Ying Zheng gave these gifts to Ying Ziyu, and she was very happy.
After all, this represents Ying Zheng's favor, which is the highest honor in Great Qin.
But Ying Ziyu is still just a baby, and it is always not good to have these golden locks and jade pendants around him.
There are already many people in the palace, and someone might be eyeing these things. If Yu'er is hurt again, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Furthermore, in addition to their own value, these things represent more of Ying Zheng's favor.
But how many people are not favored in the palace?
Keeping this thing out and attracting attention will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
After thinking for a while, Concubine Shu finally said, "Yu'er, can I help you put these things away first?"
The little guy held the jade pendant in his hand and looked at Concubine Shu warily.
【don't want! Mom took it and it was gone. 】
Concubine Shu was speechless.
Is your mother like that?
After a pause, she found a jade box and said, "Well, let's keep the things here with you, but put them in this box."
The little guy didn't give in.
[No, I’m just going to keep it aside and watch. 】
Concubine Shu sighed softly, "Oh, I really can't do anything about you."
"Be obedient, otherwise my mother will be sad."
As she spoke, she raised a thin bamboo stick and said, "After all, I'm going to hit you."
The gentle mother suddenly became unkind and looked at herself with devilish eyes.
Ying Ziyu's back felt cold, and he immediately handed over the jade pendant obediently.
[Be obedient, mother has something to say. 】
【I am still a child. 】
After installing the golden lock, Concubine Shu placed the box next to Ying Ziyu.
The sun is warm, the breeze is cool, and the flowers are in full bloom. It’s a good time to hang out.
Concubine Shu looked at the little guy and said, "The weather is nice today. How about Mom taking you to bask in the sun? It's good for your health."
The little guy was very lazy and tried his best to turn his back to Concubine Shu, clearly looking like he didn't want to pay attention.
[I won’t go, I don’t want to move. 】
"If you don't speak, you'll take it as acquiescence."
Concubine Shu hugged the little guy, took the Xiangqin and went out.
【? 】
【Come again? 】
······
Huns border.
"arrive."
A general in silver armor got off his horse and looked towards the Xiongnu's location with bright eyes.
It was Meng Tian.
Hearing the sound, Xiaoyao got off the carriage.
The strong wind blew up and rolled up his monk's robe.
Looking around, the ground was covered with decay, and corpses and bones could be seen everywhere, but not a single living bird or animal could be seen.
Xiaoyao frowned, "This place has become so deserted?"
He also passed by the border three years ago. Although there was not much prosperity at that time, the people were sitting on the ground, chatting and laughing, and it was full of life.
The difference is so different in the blink of an eye, which makes people sigh.
Meng Tian looked at the desolation with cold eyes, "How can we find a place to live in peace when we are in the chaos of war?"
He turned to look at Xiaoyao, "Everything is ready, why doesn't Your Majesty agree to go on an expedition?"
Xiaoyao's eyes glanced around, "Your Majesty thinks there is something fishy about this matter, so he specially ordered me to come over and investigate!"
Meng Tian was a little confused, "We have clearly investigated the enemy's number and terrain, what problems will there be?"
But then I thought, His Majesty must have a reason for doing this, so he looked at Xiaoyao, "This battle is related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people, I hope you will take it seriously!"
"Of course!" Xiaoyao's eyes darkened, and then he began to turn the beads and chant a mantra.
The Buddha's intention spreads out like ripples around him, and a faint Buddha's light appears behind Xiaoyao. His whole person is clear and mysterious, making people stay away from him.
After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "No magic?"
Just now he used his magic power to detect, but he didn't sense any strange aura.
Meng Tian was very confused, "Evil magic?"
Xiaoyao explained slowly, "Your Majesty feels that the weather is fishy. After much thought, only evil magic can do it."
"But now, could it be that I made a mistake?"
Meng Tian frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment, he seemed to think of something, "There are strange patterns everywhere in this area. I wonder if it has something to do with it?"
Xiaoyao's face darkened, "General, please show me, General!"
The mountain road was rugged, but fortunately the warm sun was shining brightly and the ground was not slippery.
Although Xiaoyao looked old, his movements were very agile. He followed Mengtian without falling behind at all, and the two quickly stepped into a valley.
Meng Tian took Xiaoyao to the foot of a stone wall, "Is this here?"
Xiaoyao looked up and saw that the stone wall was covered with red patterns, twists and turns, as if they were charming or divine.
Xiaoyao looked at the pattern, and after a while the leader appeared, "Is this... a forbidden technique?"
Meng Tian didn't understand this, but seeing Xiaoyao's solemn expression, he guessed that things were not simple.
Xiaoyao suddenly turned to look at him, "How long has it been since the Huns invaded the border?"
Meng Tian thought for a moment and then replied: "There is more than seven months."
Xiaoyao's face darkened, "July... a trap! All of this is a trap!"
······
After walking around for a while, she saw that the little guy didn't seem to be very interested, so Concubine Shu prepared to take him back home.
As a child, I am afraid of catching cold if I stay outside for too long.
Passing by a garden, the little guy suddenly screamed "baaaaah" and danced with his little hands.
【Over there, over there! go there! 】
Xiangqin looked worried, "What's wrong, young master? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Concubine Shu looked at the direction the little guy pointed, hugged him and walked towards that direction.
After passing through the corridor and turning around the garden, the group of people walked to a warehouse.
I could only hear shouting coming from inside,
"Big big! Big big! Big big! Big big!"
"Buy it and leave it! Buy it and leave it! If you miss the opportunity, it will be gone!"
"Hurry up and place your bet!"
Xiangqin walked to Concubine Shu and whispered: "My dear, it seems that someone is gambling inside."
Concubine Shu didn't intend to pay attention, "Let's go."
Although this kind of thing is expressly prohibited, the servants have limited entertainment and are always prohibited.
And this bet has nothing to do with her, so Concubine Shu will naturally not take the initiative to take a trip into this muddy water.
As soon as she turned around, Ying Ziyu suddenly started babbling.
[Eighteen brothers are learning bad things here. If you don't care about him, he will become an unlearned and unskilled murderer in the future! 】
[Even my brothers and sisters will not be spared, and they will be scolded by future generations for thousands of years! 】
Concubine Shu paused.
Will Xiao Hai become a murderer that his brothers and sisters will not let go of?
How could such a kind child do this?
Her eyes suddenly became sharp.
no!
This palace will not allow such a thing to happen!
