Song Jianing successfully sent a sachet. As for whether the lamp shop vendor would go to the capital to report the news, she was not sure. Song Jianing also wanted to embroider a few more sachets, but on the next journey she rode on the same carriage with Guo Xiao. Guo Xiao threw all the needles and threads on the grounds that the carriage was bumping and needlework was costly, leaving only a few books for her, and Song Jianing lost the way to pass on the secret.

Five days later, the carriage drove into Bazhou and into Shu.

Guo Xiao put on his mask again, a thin layer, not sure what it was made of, but it was like a layer of real skin on his face. Song Jianing didn't want to see Guo Xiao, and he didn't want to see Guo Xiao after disguise. The mask made her feel cold all over her body inexplicably, and she didn't dare to guess what kind of skin it was.

"In Shu, my name is Song Zhang. I am a sworn brother with the current Emperor of Great Shu. Everyone around me calls me the Third Master." The carriage continued to set out towards Chengdu, and Guo Xiao whispered to introduce the situation in Shu to her. Li Shun had already proclaimed himself emperor, appointed him as the Privy Councilor, and gave him a mansion.

"Prince Envoy?" Song Jianing couldn't help but sarcastically and said to the window: "Congratulations to my elder brother Qingyun for his advancement, his official position is higher than his father."

She couldn't figure out whether the dignified Prince of Wei, who was conferred by the Great Zhou court, was not as good as a Privy Councilor who rebeled from the party in Shu? Guo Xiao was only in his twenties. With his identity and talent, he was still afraid that he would not be promoted? Even if he could not be promoted, he would still be Duke Wei in the future. Now he is carrying the name of unfaithfulness, filial piety and unrighteousness. What is he trying to do?

For her?

Maybe some, but Song Jianing still doesn't believe it and still doesn't understand Guo Xiao.

"Do you look down on the rebels in Shu?" Hearing her sarcasm, Guo Xiao sneered, and then told her what he had learned after entering Shu. It is true that Guo Xiao entered Shu just to instigate the civilians to plot against his major affairs. If he was the prince of the capital, no matter how hard the people in Shu lived, it had nothing to do with him. But Guo Xiao knew that she was kind-hearted. If she heard about the dilemma of the people in Shu, she would definitely understand that he and Li Shun rebelled in accordance with the will of the people, and understood that the Zhao royal family was incompetent and injustice, so she should be rebelled.

Song Jianing clenched his hands quietly.

Last year, she and the prince took in Wu Sanniang, Acha and his daughter. They had long learned about the situation in Shu. The prince also wrote many letters to the emperor to revoke the bribe affairs in Shu, allowing the people to sell tea or reduce taxes, but the emperor did not listen. Song Jianing read "Records of the Grand Historian" and understood what officials forced the people to rebel. She sympathized with these people. However, her husband was the prince of the Great Zhou, and he was more likely to be the next emperor like his previous life. Song Jianing naturally favored the Great Zhou.

"If you sympathize with the people of Shu, you should write a letter to the people asking the emperor to punish corrupt officials, rather than to fuel the fire and let the rebel army fall into a disaster." After a moment of silence, Song Jianing whispered. Love the people as if they were her son, and try to solve the worries of the people, rather than watch the people rise up. The Great Zhou Dynasty was at the beginning of the founding of the country, and the country was prosperous. Even the Khitan just invaded the northern border and did not dare to go south rashly. What is the chance of winning among these poor people in Shu? Once the court freed up its troops to suppress them, Shu would be devastated again.

"Who is bound to be doomed is unknown." Guo Xiao said lightly, his voice calm, but his ambition was hidden.

He was stubborn and Song Jianing no longer advised him. He listened to the sound of horse hooves outside, and she was full of anxiety. Guo Xiao didn't touch her all the way. It was possible that he was patient enough, or it might be that the journey was inconvenient. Will he still bear it when he arrived at his mansion? There is also the prince, who has been away from Beijing for one month. Is the prince more worried about her safety or, more concerned about her innocence?

My mind was in a mess, and in the end I was left with the desire to return to Beijing. If the prince disliked her, she had no choice. Song Jianing only wanted to see her two children again. It was okay for Brother You, the wet nurse could coax her. Zhao Zhao was old. I remember my mother. If I haven't seen her for so long, the little girl must have cried miserably, right?

Thinking of his daughter, Song Jianing quietly burst into tears.

She turned her back to him, and Guo Xiao did not see her tears, but only whispered: "When you arrive in Chengdu, you'd better keep your secret and not reveal your identity to anyone. The people in Shu hate the court. If you know that you are the Princess of Birth, you will definitely peel your skin and eat your flesh, and will never help you escape. You stay in the inner house honestly, and I guarantee you no worries."

Song Jianing had no such thought at all. She had to hide her identity, otherwise she would be exposed and she would return to the palace in the future. Even if the prince believed in her, the people of the world would not believe in her innocence, nor would the emperor in the palace believe in her...

Song Jianing didn't dare to think further.

At the end of the month, the carriage arrived outside Chengdu, and was still a distance from the city gate. Li Shun, who was proclaimed as Emperor of Great Shu, sent a guard to inform Guo Xiao. He personally went out of the city to welcome his Privy Councilor. Song Jianing heard it and was shocked by Guo Xiao's status and fame in Shu. He looked at Guo Xiao, but saw that there was no trace of joy on Guo Xiao's face.

After sending the guards, Guo Xiao glanced at Song Jianing, suddenly reached out and covered her hood with her cloak, and instructed in a deep voice: "You are so beautiful, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I will get out of the car and pay homage to the emperor later. You stay in the car and don't look up."

Song Jianing is a woman who has been snatched twice. Although she has been snatched by Guo Xiao for both lives, it is enough to make her understand the beauty of men towards women. Before that, Song Jianing only recognized her father-in-law, Emperor Xuande, and did not take any Emperor Shu to heart. But now she is in other people's territory. What if Emperor Shu has a desire for her, as a subject, can Guo Xiao protect her?

Song Jianing was familiar with Guo Xiao and dared to threaten Guo Xiao not to touch her. If it were Emperor Shu, her threat might not work.

Facing Guo Xiao's solemn gaze, Song Jianing nodded slightly, pulled the hood down, and turned to the corner of the car, hiding himself tightly. She was so obedient and so scared, Guo Xiao suddenly felt distressed, and couldn't help but hugging her from behind, pressing her chin against her suddenly tense shoulders and asserted: "Don't be afraid, with me, no one can touch you, what a Shu Emperor, in my eyes, is just a man."

Song Jianing frowned and made a profit.

Guo Xiao laughed and rubbed her head through the hood, then let go.

When the carriage arrived in front of the city gate, Guo Xiao got off the car early and respectfully saluted Li Shun, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.

"Stern brother, get up quickly, our brothers, what are we going to see?" Li Shun Caomin was born, and he didn't value rules at all. He was so excited to wear a dragon robe. He never had the idea of ​​a monarch and minister to Guo Xiao. He laughed and helped Guo Xiao up, then slapped his chin into the car and whispered: "Why did I look at me just now? There was a beauty in the car?"

Guo Xiao did not deny it and said with a smile: "I met on the way back to Beijing. I was timid, so I didn't call out to make my second brother laugh."

Li Shun didn't believe it. His third brother had a very high-minded attitude. In the past six months, he had sent countless beauties to ask the third brother to pick. The third brother looked down upon it. The woman in the car must be so beautiful if she could catch the third brother's eyes. Everyone is the same. The more you don't give it to, the more curious you are. Li Shun has a carefree temper. Not only did he not understand the tactfulness in Guo Xiao's words, he patted Guo Xiao on the shoulder and smiled: "I don't have so many things to pay attention to, so call him out and let the second brother take a look."

In the car, Song Jianing clenched his clothes tightly.

Outside the car, Guo Xiao remained calm and looked directly at Li Shun, "She doesn't understand the rules. She will ask her to greet her second brother after I'm training. By the way, my second brother, how about Shu? I'm not here for this time?"

Speaking of major events, Li Shun immediately forgot the beauty and straightened his back and said, "I have a third brother's brilliant plan. Now Shu is in our hands!"

"Okay!" Guo Xiao said excitedly, "Second brother is brave, he is indeed a natural emperor. Let's celebrate tonight as a drink and never return without getting drunk!"

Li Shun was so meant that he pulled Guo Xiao away affectionately, while Song Jianing was sent directly to his mansion by Guo Xiao's confidant.

Song Jianing has temporarily settled in Chengdu. Deng Liuzi, a lantern shop vendor whom she had high hopes, also found an excuse to say goodbye to the master and went to Beijing with a bag. Deng Liuzi always felt that the sachet was entrusted by the beautiful lady, and a great beauty needed his help, and Deng Liuzi couldn't bear to refuse. Furthermore, if what Bu said was true, he could get a thousand taels of silver when he entered Beijing, then he would have the confidence to propose marriage at the old scholar next door, and marry Miss Li, who smiled and showed two dimples. If it was fake, he would not lose much. At worst, it would be a matter of a few taels of silver. He should be aware of it when he went out.

In short, the temptation far exceeds the loss, and Deng Liuzi doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

Guo Xiao changed a few good horses when he entered Beijing and ran away without any darkness and night, so it took only a few days to enter Beijing. Deng Liuzi did not have a good horse. He set out on the 18th day of the first lunar month, stopped and entered Beijing in late February. It was a coincidence that he had come to Beijing for the first time, and it happened that the young emperor of Liao was seriously ill at the end of the first lunar month. After the Liao Kingdom suffered two consecutive defeats under King Shou, he took the initiative to seek peace. The war in the northern border was quelled, and King Shou led his army to triumphantly, which was today.

The army entered the city first, and the people were intercepted outside the city. Deng Liuzi squeezed into the crowd and looked around on tiptoe, but learned that King Shou had already entered, and the cavalry, infantry, and crossbow army were all behind. Deng Liuzi was a little disappointed, and he wanted to see what kind of person King Shou was. If he was vicious, he was a little unsure.

It was almost noon that Deng Liuzi finally stepped into the capital of Dazhou and inquired all the way. After half an hour, he found the Shou Palace.

He looked at his head and saw that he didn't look like a good person. The guards of the royal palace had just checked the traitor several times and were awakening, so they immediately arrested Deng Liuzi.

"Prince, please spare me. I'm entrusted by someone to give me something to the prince!" My arms were held by a burly guard. Deng Liuzi fought with each other and declared his purpose in sweat. As soon as the prince returned to the mansion, he went to the backyard to accompany the princess and the young master. Just as Eunuch Fu came from the backyard, he heard a vague sound. Eunuch Fu's expression changed drastically and he trotted to the main gate.

The guards escorted Deng Liuzi to him.

"Who are you entrusted?" Eunuch Fu stared at Deng Liuzi nervously.

Deng Liuzi hurriedly took out the carp sachet from his arms, while incoherently describing the situation on the Lantern Festival. When he heard a stunning beauty, Eunuch Fu raised his heart to his throat. When he saw that the sachet was embroidered with the princess' favorite carp, just four of them, Eunuch Fu was excited and burst into tears. He grabbed the sachet and ran to the backyard.

In the back house of the prince's house, Zhao Zhao was buried in his father's arms, and was thrusting and asking his mother to be thrust. Brother You fell asleep and lay on the warm couch on his back. The white and fat child who didn't remember anything was crying for a few days, two months later, he had forgotten what his mother had disappeared. Unlike his sister, who missed her mother and she lost weight when she saw her father.

Zhao Heng raised his head and listened to his daughter's crying, and there was also a light of water in his eyes.

It's been two months since he knew who robbed her, but the crowd was vast and he couldn't find where Guo Xiao was. Zhao Heng had thought about framing Guo Boyan. At that time, the Guo family was imprisoned and did not believe that Guo Xiao could hide it if he got the news. However, the Guo family not only had Guo Boyan, but also her biological mother Lin, and her younger brother Mao Geer. Once he framed Guo Boyan for his crimes, he was so serious that his father announced the world that he could not overturn the case, which was equivalent to harming Lin.

But Zhao Heng was hesitating. He could not take action before because he was afraid that something would happen to Guo Boyan and shake the morale of the army. But now the war has been settled, Guo Boyan...

"Prince, there is news about the princess!"

Eunuch Fu was so excited that he forgot to report, so he ran in and lowered his voice to report.

Zhao Heng quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and turned his head to look at Eunuch Fu. Zhao Zhao stopped crying and looked out with tears in his eyes.

"Prince." Eunuch Fu handed over the sachet immediately.

The red carp embroidery image caught my eye. Zhao Heng grabbed the sachet with his hand. The familiar stitches and the familiar carp pictures were indeed from her!

"Where did you get it?" Zhao Heng asked with his sachet tightly.

Eunuch Fu talked about Deng Liuzi and ran out to get the people.

Zhao Heng held his daughter and looked at the sachet in his hand again. She painted the best fish, and she loved to draw carp the most. The biggest one was him, which was embroidered majestic by her. The second biggest one was her. She also knew that she was fat and deliberately painted the princess carp chubby... Because it was her, Zhao Heng's eyes were fixed on the second big carp, seeing the tail from the beginning and then from the end...

Suddenly, Zhao Heng's eyes narrowed, he raised his sachet and came to his eyes. He carefully identified it. There was a small word hidden in the carp's eyes:

Shu.

"Father, where is the mother?" Zhao Zhao didn't like carp, didn't like sachets, and didn't like anything. She cried and pushed away the broken sachet and continued to ask for her mother to her father.

My daughter cried and asked this question countless times, but this time, Zhao Heng had the answer.

The next morning, King Shou Zhao Heng volunteered to lead his troops to attack Shu.
