It was approaching dusk when I left the palace. The sky in Xijing in February was not very good. There was mist everywhere and the sun was setting in the west, so I couldn't see the true appearance of the red sun. All that could be seen was a red light source, and the towering black Qinling Mountains in the distance, both covered with an indestructible veil.
If you want to watch the sunset, there are many better weather conditions than this, but Zhu Sijia is reluctant to put down the carriage curtain.
To see such a beautiful river and mountain again would make her feel completely different, especially after she had a nightmare.
At first, she just wanted to change her life, and by the way, she saved all the people who should have been trapped in fire and water; now she wants to save more, and she wants to save the Qin Dynasty, which will fall apart in the next hundred years, which is no easy task.
We can only save Yan Xiu first. He may be the source of all this tragedy. What is the reason why he only lived for a short period of thirty-six years? Will it still be like this in this life?
It would be a lie to say you are not worried.
Yan Xing is an extremely dangerous person. In his previous life, he endured dormancy and became a sensation. Even though he ended up half blind and demoted to a commoner in this life, Zhu Sijia was still frightened and uneasy.
How on earth did he sneak into the palace? With so many silver-armored guards, dragon guards, and imperial guards watching, how could he escape unharmed?
He is too difficult to kill. As long as he is given the chance to survive, he will definitely seize the last glimmer of hope and kill everyone.
Even if he becomes crazy, he might even choose to die together.
Zhu Sijia sighed softly, tears flashing unknowingly.
Suiyu did not drive her car today, but rode a horse alongside her carriage. As early as when she opened the curtain to watch the sunset, he was behind her, silently staring at her beautiful profile for a long time.
Seeing her sighing, Suiyu stepped forward and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"
Zhu Sijia smiled and said: "I've been bored in the palace for a long time. When I come out and see this magnificent river and mountains, I can't help but be touched."
It was strange, she was clearly smiling, but there seemed to be infinite sadness and melancholy in her eyes.
The broken jade face was stained red, and it was hard to tell whether it was stained by the sunset or whether it was because the face was getting hot.
He could tell that Zhu Sijia was worried. She would always be as mysterious as Xijing in February. No matter how he tried to get closer, he could never get rid of the fog that shrouded her.
"If your Majesty feels that the silver-armored guards are an eyesore." Broiyu squinted at the escorts accompanying her today and chatted with her in a low voice, "I have a way to get rid of them and take you to Wuxinghou Mansion alone."
Zhu Sijia: "Ziyu, when did you become so suspicious?"
Suiyu said bluntly: "I'm not suspicious, I just don't want to see my queen unhappy."
Zhu Sijia suddenly seized the opportunity and asked him: "If next time I want to leave the palace without anyone noticing, and even His Majesty can't find it, do you have a way?"
Broken Yu didn't hesitate: "Of course, it depends on how you want to muddle through."
Zhu Sijia: "What if I don't want to muddle through? For example, take the secret path in the palace-"
Now was not a good time to speak, so Suiyu widened her eyes and raised her voice to remind her: "My Lady, Wuxinghou Mansion has arrived."
Zhu Scarlett calmed down: "I know."
The words stopped abruptly, this matter was by no means simple.
Before she even got off the carriage, Yu and Zhu Siying knew that she was going back home and were waiting in front of the gate early.
The Chiayi Marquis Mansion across the street is also very lively. The master is still guarding Zhou Di. Before he has checked in, the servants in the mansion are busy coming in and out. Seeing Zhu Sijia getting off the carriage, and being reminded by others, they ran to the gate of Wuxinghou Mansion to salute her.
It was time to leave. Zhu Sijia was a little tired, but she still managed to hold on to her energy and spared the servant's courtesy.
After entering the Hou Mansion, Zhu Siying came forward intimately and took Zhu Sijia's arm: "Sister, why do you want to come to the Hou Mansion today?"
Zhu Sijia: "In a few days, I will leave for the east tour and come to see my mother. By the way, what do you think of the name I asked you to think about earlier?"
Zhu Siying said happily: "I have thought about several, and I'm waiting for you to choose them together. It's a pity that I only wanted to get you out of the palace today."
Mrs. Yu's body is getting stronger day by day, and now it is not difficult to keep up with her two daughters.
From the moment Zhu Sijia got off the carriage, she had a premonition that something had happened to Zhu Sijia.
Now I saw that Zhu Sijia was almost forcing a smile to deal with everyone. She squeezed in between the two daughters and said sternly: "Siying, you can go and play by yourself first. I have something to ask Zhaoyi."
Zhu Siying still didn't know why: "Hey, is there anything I can't hear?"
Suiyu stretched out his sword to stop her: "Miss Third, I can accompany you to fly the kite."
…
After sending Zhu Siying away, Mrs. Yu took Zhu Sijia into her courtyard, then sent the servants away and closed the doors and windows.
Zhu Sijia: "Do you have anything important to say, mother?"
Unexpectedly, Madam Yu pulled her to sit beside the couch, hugged her into his arms, and cried sadly:
"My son... tell me honestly, what kind of grievances have you suffered in the palace during this time?"
Zhu Sijia was stunned: "No, mother, why do you think so? Don't cry, it will hurt your eyes if you cry."
Mrs. Yu let go of her, her lips trembled: "As the saying goes, mothers and daughters are connected. How could I not see that you are in a bad mood? In fact, from the moment you entered the palace as a concubine, mother knew that there were many Things have changed.”
"Although it is inconvenient for my mother to ask you, I can't bear to see you look depressed and lifeless at such a young age. Remember, if your majesty, even the whole world, fails you, you can always return to your mother's side. Be the most carefree little girl.”
She often lives in the inner courtyard, and she also knows how much controversy Zhu Sijia will face under her great favor.
The grievances and fears of the past few days were on the verge of reaching their peak at this moment. Ever since Yan Xing was blinded in one eye that night, Zhu Sijia has been uneasy to this day.
Ever since she was a child, she would feel uncomfortable even if she was watching others kill chickens, not to mention hurting people. What's more, the person she attacked was someone she had been entangled with for two whole lives. Can she stay calm?
Zhu Sijia covered her face with her hands and cried out in pain:
"Mother, I'm fine. Your Majesty also treats me very well. Don't worry. But just because Your Majesty treats me so well, I can't bear it."
Yu: "But as for the heir? Your Majesty, is he still only lucky to be you?"
Zhu Sijia nodded, her voice weak:
"It's not that I haven't advised him to get equal exposure to rain and dew, but he gets angry every time I mention it, and gradually I don't dare to mention it anymore. Mother, your Majesty is already twenty-four this year, and I am also over eighteen, but I I’m really afraid that I’ve been unable to find a way out…”
"I went to Taiji Palace to look for him a few days ago, and I heard him tell King Xiang that if he has no children in the future, he will adopt King Xiang's child. He is determined to only recognize me."
"I don't care about being accused of bewitching the monarch, but if I turn him into this, how can I have the face to meet the ancestors of the Qin family?"
She was afraid that there would be no successor in the Qin Dynasty, and she was afraid that this child who had not yet been born would cause more chaos. Looking around the world, countless pairs of eyes were staring at Yan Xiu's throne.
By then, the country of Daqin might have turned into what she had seen in her dream ahead of schedule, and countless tragedies would have taken place in this land.
Mrs. Yu hugged her distressedly: "Cicada, although you are weak, you are not infertile. You are still young, don't worry too much."
