Fanzhou City, Xinmang Mountain.

Heqin's convoy did not go fast, and it took more than a month to reach the border of the Fu Dynasty, and it would take another day to enter the Western Regions.

Now the convoy has just left Fanzhou City and is resting on the Xinman Mountain in the suburbs.

Princess Qing had just finished her breakfast, and the little maid who was married stood behind her and dressed her up.

"Princess, do you want to wear this phoenix hair crown today, or this Qiuyan hair crown?"

The little maid held two extremely exquisite hair crowns in her hands, and asked Princess Qing with a smile.

Princess Qing's beautiful and beautiful face was reflected in the bronze mirror, but she was expressionless, like every time before, she didn't even look at the two hair crowns.

Women love beauty. When Princess Qing got married, the emperor prepared dozens of boxes of brocade clothes for her, so that she could wear them incomparably beautiful every day, so as to demonstrate the national prestige of the Fu Dynasty.

But Princess Qing didn't care about this.

The smile on the little maid's face faded, she casually picked up a hair crown, and silently dressed the princess, with an unconcealable sadness in her heart.

She grew up with Princess Qing, and watched the princess change from a bright and bright character to a beautiful puppet now, unable to laugh, emotion or joy.

Looking at it like this, it really looks a bit like that big ice cube that doesn't know what's good or bad.

The little maid cursed Yue Hui secretly in her heart, when someone knocked on the door of the room suddenly.

The knock on the door was urgent, the sound of bang bang bang startled the little girl, even Princess Qing turned her head and looked at the door calmly.

The little maid hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was a man dressed as an inn servant. He held a plate in his hand with a bowl of egg porridge on it. He stood at the door and said, "Miss, this is the green onion porridge you ordered."

The little maid glanced behind him, turned sideways and let the man walk in.

As soon as the door was closed, the man knelt down in front of Princess Qing and said, "Princess, something happened in Beijing."

The man in front of him is Princess Qing's secret guard in the palace.

This place is not close to the capital, even if it is to deliver news day and night, it will take less than half a month.

Princess Qing didn't take him with her when she left, and now that he has come here day and night, something must have happened in Beijing.

Princess Qing asked lightly, "What's the matter?"

The dark guard rolled his Adam's apple and said, "Someone in Beijing has betrayed..."

Princess Qing frowned when she heard this, and asked: "The army in Beijing is strong and guarded, who dares to rebel?"

"...It was General Xi who took the lead in rebelling."

Princess Qing frowned even tighter. Before she could speak, Ling Ji, the little girl behind her, couldn't bear it and said: "He is so courageous! Princess, I knew he was not a good guy! Back thenIn the court hall, he made things difficult for General Yue, and even coveted the troops in General Yue's hands, so he was someone with other plans and ambitions!"

Speaking of this, Ling Ji took a look at Princess Qing's heavy expression, and said comfortingly: "Princess, don't worry, there is still General Yue in the court, and nothing will happen."

Hearing what Ling Ji said, Princess Qing's expression softened a little, and she asked, "How is the situation in Beijing now?"

The hidden guard lowered his head even more, his saluting wrist trembled, and he lowered his voice and said, "Princess, the situation in Beijing is not good, General Yue... General Yue....”

Hearing the dark guard's embarrassing tone, Princess Qing frowned, and asked sharply, "How is General Yue?"

The dark guard suddenly knelt down, took two deep breaths, and said in a sad voice: "Princess... General Yue also betrayed!"

Slap!

The wooden comb in the little girl's hand fell to the ground, she opened her mouth in shock, and turned her head to look at Princess Qing little by little.

Princess Qing's face turned pale in an instant, her hands were hanging by her sides and clenched into fists, her body was as tense as a bow that was about to break in the next second.

"What did you say......."

"Princess, General Yue has also rebelled..."

"...."

Ling Ji hurriedly raised her voice, her voice trembling: "What nonsense are you talking about! General Yue has been by the princess's side since he was a child, and he has always been utterly loyal...and he and Xi'an have always been at odds with each other.How could it be possible to rebel!"

The knuckles of the hidden guard's arched hand were pale, and he said truthfully in a low voice: "I dare not lie to the princess. This matter is absolutely true. On the day of the wedding of General Xi and Princess Min, General Yue took him to the Dong Daying Camp."Thousands of soldiers and General Xi met downstairs in Fenglan City, and they rebelled together!"

"...."

"I was lucky enough to be able to escape from the capital and report to the princess. Now the news in the capital has been completely blocked by General Xi. The Western Regions don't know about the affairs in the capital. I'm afraid they will know in a few days."

The capital is closed, the inside and outside are attacked, and the war is chaotic. All news cannot be transmitted or entered.

Even the short sentence of the dark guard, he tried his best to spread it from the capital.

After hearing that Yue Hui had also betrayed, Princess Qing couldn't recover for a long time, her usual indifference and indifference had long since disappeared.

She closed her eyes heavily, bit her lower lip tightly, and asked in a trembling voice for a while: "What's the situation in the capital now?"

"When I left, the capital was already under siege. Only the soldiers from the Xi Daying arrived, but they were stopped outside the city gate. The two sides were besieging the city gate fiercely, and what happened afterwards is unknown......"

Princess Qing said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, you can step back first."

The hidden guard said yes, then turned and retreated.

The door of the palace was closed again, Princess Qing sat in front of the desk with her eyes closed, and she didn't say a word for a long time.

Looking at the princess's appearance, Ling Ji felt apprehensive, and called out weakly: "Princess..."

"..."

"Princess, are you okay..."

"...."

"Princess, don't scare me..."

Ling Ji grew up in the palace since she was a child, she had never seen such a big event, she squatted in front of Princess Qing, raised her face and whispered softly.

Suddenly Ling Ji's voice paused, and he was suddenly unable to utter a word.

She saw the corners of the princess' eyes glistening, and tears rolled down her cheeks. The tears were crystal clear and hung on the princess' chin.

Princess Qing wiped her chin with her hand, and said to Ling Ji in a hoarse voice, "...Ling Ji, bring my blue pigeon."

Ling Ji immediately stood up and walked to a wooden box, opened it, and took out a cage from inside.

There are four pigeons in that cage.

The pigeon has a blue-purple body, a round brain, a sharp beak, sharp claws, and sharp eyes when it raises its face. It is a rare blue pigeon that is hard to find in Fuchao.

Those pigeons were given to her by Yuehui when she was a child.

At that time, Yuehui was still her bodyguard.

She is younger than Yuehui, she was very lively and playful when she was young, she always likes to sneak out of the palace while the guards at the palace gate are not paying attention, and Yuehui won't be able to find her if she is in a daze.

And so there were these blue pigeons.

The blue pigeon is very small and can be hidden in the sleeve. It flies extremely fast and recognizes its master.

If Princess Qing gets lost, as long as she releases the blue pigeon, the blue pigeon will find Yuehui to send a message.

Let Yuehui rush to her side as quickly as possible.

No matter how far apart they are or how out of the way they are, the blue dove will find him.

Princess Qing gently stroked the blue pigeon's feathers, sat at the table and took out a piece of paper, and wrote a letter on the paper.

Tears blurred her eyes, making it difficult for her to read the handwriting clearly.

She kept wiping it with her sleeves.

Ever since she knew that Yuehui had no love for her, she became indifferent, thinking that there was nothing else that could make her emotionally fluctuate.

But she didn't expect that this time, just hearing the few words from the hidden guard would cause a wave of shock in her heart again.

Lan.

Princess Qing was so excited that her hands trembled violently when she picked up the pen. The ink on the pen nib dripped on the white paper involuntarily, and her angry and sad tears fell on the paper together.

In the letter, she asked Yuehui sharply, why did she betray?!

Since you are already acquainted with Xi An, why do you still pretend to be ignorant in the court?

Back then in the temple, he saved her life, so she was grateful to him, even though she was a princess and he was just a commoner with no family, father and mother, but she never treated him badly.

She took him by her side, found the best way out for him, and seated him in the highest position.

If he wants to betray, is he taking advantage of them based on their acquaintance?

Could it be that even the assassination of the hero who saved the beauty back then was fake?!

Could it be that he had planned this trick back then to lure her into the urn!

But even if it is used, they have known each other for so long!We grew up together since childhood!Know each other, accompany, follow each other.

Does he have no half-hearted affection for her!

Even if there is no love, what about family affection?!What about friendship?!

These days and nights, these days and nights, are they all fake?!

In that letter, Princess Qing wept blood every word and every word, she was a princess, she even spoke incoherently, and even used some inappropriate language to express all her anger, all her annoyance, and Yuehui not loving her.His pain, annoyance, and hatred were all vented on this piece of paper, and all of them were vented on Yue Hui.

After she finished writing the letter, she stuffed the letter paper into the blue pigeon's foot tube, opened the window, and let the blue pigeon fly into the air.

The blue pigeon spread its wings in the air, but between two flaps, it disappeared into the sky.

Princess Qing looked at the direction where the pigeon disappeared, and did not recover for a long time.

It wasn't until the cold wind blew outside the window that Ling Ji called her a princess, and she came back to her senses, sat back in her seat exhausted, and wiped the tears off her face.

The blue pigeon flies extremely fast and has great endurance. It can fly at high speed without sleep. At this speed, it only takes four days to travel from Fanzhou City to the capital.

Princess Qing has a noble status, and after entering the Western Regions, the young king needs to come to greet her in person. However, the young king has not yet arrived at Jiayuguan in the past few days, so it takes longer to rest here.

Princess Qing just sat in the room every day, waiting for Yue Hui's reply.

However, on the fourth day, the pigeons outside the window did not return for a long time.

Princess Qing waited and waited.

It was very cold outside the window in early winter, but she opened all the windows in the room.

According to the calculation of Lan Ge's flying speed, as long as Yuehui is still in the capital, it is impossible for Lan Ge to not find him, and it is impossible for Lan Ge to not come back yet.

Even if Yue Hui didn't want to reply to her letter, or even read her letter, the blue pigeon should return to its master after finding Yue Hui.

Unless, there is only one possibility....

Princess Qing's heart trembled when she thought of this, she couldn't even sit still, she walked up and down the room, or stood at the window, watching endlessly.

In this way, she kept looking out the window, until her hatred and anger towards Yue Hui gradually turned into endless anxiety and anxiety.

In this way she waited from night to dawn.

In the early morning of the second day, Ling Ji came to Princess Qing's room with a copper basin filled with water, intending to dress her up, but she saw that the princess was still standing where she was, with a haggard face and bloodshot eyes.

Ling Ji was startled and asked: "Princess, why haven't you rested yet?"

Princess Qing turned around and said to Ling Ji, "Go and tell the envoys of the Western Regions that I am not feeling well, and I need to rest here for another five days."

Ling Ji quickly put down the basin in her hand, and anxiously stepped forward and asked, "Princess, what's the matter with you, do you need me to call for a doctor?"

Princess Qing shook her head, and remained silent for a while with downcast eyes. Suddenly, she turned around without saying a word, walked to the table and opened the cage where the blue pigeon was locked.

Ling Ji quickly grabbed Princess Qing's hand, trying to stop her movement, but it was too late.

In an instant, the remaining three blue pigeons all flew out

out of the cage and flew out the window.

Ling Ji waved his hands anxiously: "Princess, these are the only three blue pigeons you have left! Why did you let them go! Then what will you do in the future!"

Blue pigeons have great stamina. Once they are used as messengers, they will not sleep until the task is completed.

It is precisely because of this that after they complete their tasks, they will die of exhaustion within three days when they return to their masters.

Blue pigeons are precious, and this kind of blue pigeon with a strong ability to recognize the owner will take several years to cultivate.

Princess Qing grew up in a small palace, she didn't even look at other rare treasures, she was so precious to these pigeons alone.

Because this pigeon represents the number of times she can communicate with Yuehui.

The Western Regions are far away, and the rest of her life is long, and she only has three chances.

And now she actually released all the pigeons.

Ling Ji was still running around in a hurry, but she heard Princess Qing's voice said in a hoarse voice: "The blue pigeon will not misidentify the way, nor misidentify the owner, once released, it will not return, unless it cannot find the owner... …”

Ling Ji was stunned for a moment, before he could respond, he asked, "Princess, has it not been able to find General Yue?"

Princess Qing didn't speak.

During this period of depressing silence, Ling Ji vaguely understood the meaning of Princess Qing's words, her eyes widened, but thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was impossible.

So she comforted the princess in a low voice and said: "Princess, maybe the blue pigeon was shot by someone while flying...or...or was taken away by an eagle!Didn't Wei say that day that General Yue and General Xi closed the city gates, they must be in the capital, how could they not find him?"

Princess Qing closed her eyes heavily and said, "Wait a little longer."

She released three blue pigeons this time, and it should be that the unexpected things Wuling Ji said happened again.

In this way, Princess Qing stayed on Xinman Mountain for another four days. On the night of the fourth day, the envoys from the Western Regions were not happy.

He walked into Princess Qing's room with his guards, and he was polite to the princess on the surface, but he said threateningly: "I know the princess doesn't want to give up Fuchao, but if the princess delays again and again, I might not be able to catch up with the wedding ceremony."It's an auspicious day, besides, our young king has already arrived at Jiayuguan, waiting to welcome the princess into our Western Regions. If the princess insists on delaying, the young king will be angry at that time, let alone me, and the princess' life will not be easy.Please rest early tonight, princess, and we will set off early tomorrow morning."

Princess Qing sat in front of the window without turning her head or speaking.

Ling Ji stood aside and said to the envoy: "Our princess said that she is not feeling well, and she will rest here for five days. It is only four days now, and you are in a hurry to leave. If our princess gets sick on the way, you will take care of her."up?"

Ling Ji spoke harshly, but the envoy still didn't change his face: "I see the princess sitting in front of this window every day, it should be fine, and there are doctors accompanying us, if the princess feels unwell during the journey, when the time comesIt's never too late to heal."

"you......."

After speaking, the envoy didn't even look at the two of them, turned around and left, leaving only two tall and burly guards from the Western Regions guarding the door.

After closing the door, Ling Ji hurriedly walked up to Princess Qing, and said in a low voice, "What should I do, princess...why hasn't the blue pigeon come back? If we leave tomorrow, the blue pigeon won't be found."What can we do?"

Compared with Ling Ji's anxiety, Princess Qing is very calm.

She withdrew her gaze heavily from the window, and said, "Let's go, it's been four days, and they won't come back..."

Ling Ji was taken aback, and turned her head to look at Princess Qing cautiously. She was in a panic, racking her brains to think of something to say to comfort Princess Qing.

"Princess... the capital is in chaos now. It's normal for those pigeons to fly so far and not come back. You and I will go to the Western Regions first. After a while, someone will definitely send a message..”

"..."

"Princess, don't worry..."

Ling Ji is usually a little girl who can speak well, but facing the current situation, she doesn't know

How to comfort the princess.

Ling Ji thought about it for a long time, thinking that she felt wronged for the princess, her eyes turned red unconsciously, and she said with a crying voice: "I know the princess feels bad, but General Yue may have been forced to rebel....Maybe he has a reason..."

Princess Qing was expressionless, she raised her hand to close the window of the room, and said in a soft voice: "Treason is betrayal, if he is in front of me, I will kill him."

After finishing speaking, Princess Qing seemed to really not care, she lay down on the bed as usual, covered the quilt and closed her eyes to rest.

Ling Ji was worried, and stayed in front of Princess Qing all night.

The princess slept very well that day, and before dawn the next day, everyone in the Western Regions set off in a hurry.

Today they will pass through Jiayuguan in the Fu Dynasty, all the way to the Western Regions. At Jiayuguan, they will be greeted by the Young King of the Western Regions in person, and they will go deep into the Western Regions without stopping.

Ling Ji dressed Princess Qing in a bright red wedding dress.

Princess Qing's complexion today looks much better than before, Ling Ji didn't even need to apply makeup on her, even when she walked out of the inn, the envoy cupped her hands and said to Princess Qing: "After yesterday's repair, the princess's complexion todayIt looks much better than before, the young king will definitely like it when he sees it."

Princess Qing rarely smiled at him in a good mood, and got into the carriage.

Fanzhou City is only one day away from the frontier. The carriage dangled on the road, from sunrise to sunset, and finally saw the distant city wall.

The city gates are wide open.

Here stood the soldiers of the Fu Dynasty, kneeling and waiting for the arrival of the princess.

On the other side stood thousands of soldiers from the Western Regions. The leading man was wearing a brown fox fur coat and a mace pendant.team.

Behind him is the endless prairie.

The welcoming line is very long.

Within a quarter of an hour, the leader of the team walked out of the city gate first, and the envoy rode at the head of the team. He walked up to the man, cupped his hands and said, "Young King, Princess Fuchao has brought you here."

Young Wang looked at the red carriage at the end of the team from a distance, and gave a deep grace.

Just like this, the carriage staggered slowly, seeing that the big red carriage was about to go under the city gate, at this moment, a pair of slender and white jade hands suddenly came out from the curtain of the carriage.

The carriage immediately stopped inside the city gate, and a servant walked up to the carriage to inquire.

Not long after, the servant ran over, knelt down in front of the young king of the Western Regions, and said, "Young king, the princess said that the sunset in Fuchao is beautiful, and she wants to take one last look."

Without moving his eyes, the young king said, "Okay, let her see."

Not long after, the curtain of the carriage opened, and a woman with a fluttering figure stepped down.

The woman was slender, wearing a red wedding dress, with a red ribbon in her hair. The wind blew through her black hair. She raised her fingertips and gently put the black hair behind her ears, and stepped off the carriage with a peaceful expression.

Under the eyes of everyone in Fuchao and the Western Regions, she stepped onto the city wall step by step in that red wedding dress.

The city wall is very high, and she faces the rivers and mountains of the Fu Dynasty, standing in the center of the city wall, wearing a red dress, the hem of the skirt flutters gently in the wind, and the red ribbon in her hair flutters with the breeze in her black hair.

She stood on the high city wall, looking at the setting sun of Fuchao from afar.

Stand tall and see far away.

She looked towards the distance along the end of the horizon, and she could see the continuous mountains of Fuchao and the endless sky.

It seems that as long as she stands a little higher, a little higher, she can walk along the boundless end, see the prosperity of the capital city in the past, and see her home.

So she stood taller.

There were exclamations and screams from the people below her, but she was fascinated, she didn't want to pay attention to those screams, and just focused on watching the sunset.

It was the setting sun of Fuchao, and the golden yellow sprinkled all over the sky, rendering the rivers and mountains of Fuchao, illuminating the people of Fuchao, and made her feel extremely peaceful and quiet.

Suddenly, a group of wild geese flew across the sky, and those wild geese were reflected in the light of the setting sun, even their feathers were shining. They waved their wings and followed the path of the setting sun.

The light flew into the distance.

It's just that the sun was a little dazzling, she raised her hand to cover the light in front of her eyes, leaving only a gap between her fingers to look at the wild geese all over the mountain.

She suddenly wanted to be a bird and fly to the other side of the sky to have a look.

"Princess, the young king is waiting for you below, let's go."

A servant's voice sounded from behind, the servant approached Princess Qing cautiously, raised his hand to grab the sleeve of the princess, but heard Princess Qing looking up at the group of wild geese, sighed, and said to herselfSaid softly like talking to himself: "...the country is ruined and the family is destroyed. They can no longer find their way home."

After speaking, the bright red figure gently floated down from under the city wall, like a beautiful petal, and landed on the land of Fuchao.

"Princess!!!"

"Princess!!!"

Under the city wall, there was a riot of soldiers and horses. The soldiers of the Fu Dynasty surrounded them, and the young king of the Western Regions rushed in.

Ling Ji ran to Princess Qing's body like crazy, hugged Princess Qing's body tightly, and sat under the city gate, screaming heart-piercingly.

Looking at the peaceful face of the princess in her arms, she cried hoarsely, piercing her heart with pain.

She remembered what the princess had said softly to her last night.

——Ling Ji, rebellion is rebellion, if he is in front of me, I will definitely kill him.

But if he's gone...then what should I do?
