It's hard to know what's good and what's bad about the imperial expedition. All officials strongly oppose it, including Jiang Ming and Jiang Yue. But Dongfang's mind has been determined and can't be changed. The date of the imperial expedition is set for the Mid Autumn Festival on August 15.

On July 14, Xiao Congzi was transferred to work for Liang Cairen.

On the first day of August, the news came from the violence room that Li Meiren could not bear the heavy burden and hanged herself on the beam. The person who went to collect the corpse said that Li Meiren was so thin that she had only one skin left when she died. Her face was as delicate as a petal and as old as a woman in her 50s and 60s.

In the same month, Yi's Jin Zheng was a five grade concubine, while Liang's Jin Zheng was a six grade noble. It is worth mentioning that their families were all involved in the Royal expedition.

"Goo Goo!" A white dove fluttered its wings and landed in the beautiful courtyard of Yilan palace in autumn. It walked back and forth in the courtyard with two thin claws, a calm look.

Huarui came out to pour water. When she saw the pigeon, she was very surprised. "Gee, where did the pigeon come from?"

As she spoke, she went to the pigeon, who was not afraid of strangers at all, and allowed her to touch the snow-white feathers, with a "coo" sound in her throat from time to time.

Pistils look interesting, find chestnut rice to feed it, pigeons pour is also hungry, bow peck ceaselessly, see pistils burst of funny, "eat slowly, no one with you."

"Who are you talking to?" The sudden sound startled the pistil. After seeing that it was Xia Yue, she quickly got up and called "aunt".

Pistil this get out of the way, summer month saw the ground is hard to peck chestnut rice pigeon, doubt tunnel: "when did you raise pigeons?"

On hearing this, Huarui waved her hand again and again, "my aunt misunderstood that it was not raised by me, but by itself. I watched it for fun and fed it some chestnut rice."

Xia Yue frowns. This kind of pigeon looks like a carrier pigeon. But as far as she knows, the trained carrier pigeon will only live and eat in the wild before flying to the destination, and will never fall into the house. This is a conventional rule to prevent letters from falling into other people's hands. How can this carrier pigeon

When she was puzzled, she caught a glimpse of the bamboo tube on the carrier pigeon's feet. Xia Yue hesitated for a moment, and then she slightly gritted her teeth. She came forward to untie the bamboo tube and took out a piece of rolled thin paper. Surprisingly, the paper was blank and didn't have a word.

Pistil also saw, wring two thin willow eyebrows way: "aunt, how is this to return a responsibility?"

Xia Yue herself is also at a loss, where to answer, thought for a while, said: "you look at the pigeon here, I'll talk to the empress about it."

After Huarui agrees, Xia Yue comes to nuange with blank tissue paper. Mu Qianxue is making clothes for Ananda. The small pieces of clothes are sewn together, which is very lovely.

After listening to Xia Yue's talk about pigeons, mu Qianxue was also puzzled. She put down her half sewn clothes, took the tissue paper and looked at it carefully. There was not a word, but when she touched the lower right corner of the note, she went to the window and looked at the light for a moment, showing a trace of excitement. "Go and light the candle quickly and bring it over."

Xia Yue lit a candle according to her words and held it in front of Mu Qianxue. She didn't understand and said, "what are you going to do, madam?"

Mu Qianxue did not answer her, but put the tissue paper on the top of the bright candle. With the baking of the candle, the originally empty paper showed one brown word after another, dense and full of the whole paper.

Xia Yue looked at the scene in disbelief, "this What's going on? "

"It's written in vinegar. When it's dry, it's like nothing. It needs to be baked on the fire before it can be seen. This is the game that the third brother used to play with the palace."

Xia Yue suddenly realized something, and in a moment she thought of another thing, and said in a startled voice: "master, I mean Is this letter from your highness three? "

Mu Qianxue carefully read the contents of the letter, put the letter into the fire and burned it, and said in a condensed voice, "have you prepared all the things I asked you to prepare?"

Summer month Leng a bottom just reaction come over, nod a way: "en, imperial pharmacy there has already sent, just master son want so many medicinal materials to do what?"

About a month ago, mu Qianxue wrote a list for her, all of which are some medicinal materials, such as polygonatum, angelica, ginseng, etc. there are so many ingredients that they can't use up in Yilan hall, and they don't know what to do.

Muqianxue did not answer, light way: "to prepare shoulder Yu, the palace to Chengde palace."

"I'll go now." Xia Yue is very excited. Since the event in Chengde hall, mu Qianxue has never seen Dongfang Su again. Even if Dongfang Su later spared Zhang Qiling and the 19 capital crimes and appointed Zhang Qiling as the guest Minister of cloth, she still refuses to see him. She just orders them to prepare a lot of medicinal materials, but she doesn't know what to do.

In August, the autumn light is just right, the flowers have fallen all the way, but ginkgo turns yellow, sweet scented osmanthus blooms like clouds, with a unique beauty.

Outside Chengde hall, Xia Yue holds mu Qianxue on her shoulder. Before she can stand still, Sun Xing greets her and flatters her, saying, "my mother is blessed."

Mu Qianxue said with a smile, "is your Majesty in the palace?"

"Yes, I'm going to preach." Sun Xing went in politely. After a moment, he said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please come in."As he said this, he quietly stretched out his hand and waited for the reward, which had almost become his habit. However, mu Qianxue just nodded slightly and went in with Xia Yue's hand, which made him disappointed.

After mu Qianxue went in, he took back his hand and spat on the ground. He was dissatisfied and said, "I'm still a princess. My hand is worse than those talented people and beauties. I'm really stingy. Hum!"

Inside the hall, Dongfang Suo looked at mu Qianxue, who was walking slowly towards him, with an imperceptible choking voice, and said, "are you willing to see me at last?"

Mu Qianxue bowed her eyes and saluted, "my concubine is willful and reckless. Please forgive me."

Dongfang Su stepped down from the imperial case, picked her up and looked at her silently for a moment. He said, "do you mean you have forgiven me?"

The autumn sun shines in through the open window and falls on each other, as if covered with a layer of light golden smoke. The wind blows gently, with a strong aroma of osmanthus.

Mu Qianxue sighed, holding his slightly cold palm in his backhand, "people are not plants, your majesty has done so much for me, how can I not know."

She knew that the lie of nineteen was not enough to deceive Dongfang su. He was willing to let Zhang Qiling and nineteen go, or even as the guest Minister of Buyi. There might be some reasons for the failure of the nine kings of the East, but the most fundamental reason was himself.

After a long silence, Dongfang Suo said in a low voice, "after that day, I'm sorry to let them go. It's the only thing I can do for you. I just hope you won't be angry with me any more."
