The brocade mattress with five bats on the red base holding clouds, the brocade quilt with red phoenixes rising to the sun, the dogwood tattooed and colorful embroidered pillows filled with perilla... Smelling the familiar fragrance, Xiao Yu slowly sat up on the couch.

She turned her head and looked outside the account.

It is a red lacquer-intact jade-covered birds facing the phoenix. A golden silk sachet is hung next to it, inlaid with pearls and turquoise.

This is Fengzao Palace.

It is the residence of the queen.

It was here when she married the emperor's cousin. Later, her short-lived cousin passed away, Zhao Hong ascended the throne, and she became the empress dowager. At that time, she should have lived in the Shouning Palace where the empress dowager should live. However, her aunt, the Empress Dowager, is still there, and the young emperor Zhao Hong is young, so there will be no queen for the time being, so she continues to live in Fengzao Palace.

The main hall of Fengzao Palace is nine rooms wide and three rooms deep. It has yellow glazed tiles, with front and back corridors, colorful brackets under the eaves. The beams and rafters are painted by Su's colorful paintings. There are thrones, screens, fragrance tables, and palace fans in the bright room. The east side is made of rosewood openwork pavilions and flowers and birds on the floor, and the west side is made of rosewood openwork peacock flower and bird patterns on the floor, and the second room is separated from the tip of the fan.

There is a gate for the hundred birds facing the phoenix screen in front of the hall, and a swing is also provided under the front porch of the main hall.

She always pays attention to food and accommodation. In the harem, she dressed up the Fengzao Palace as she liked. She was used to being extravagant, and the little emperor respected her, and her aunt, the Empress Dowager, spoiled her. No matter how much she squandered her, it would not be a big deal.

"Empress!"

The woman who was coming in with the medicine saw Xiao Yu awake and hurried over.

Seeing her wearing a dark green embroidered palace outfit, she was short and fat and white, with slightly silver hair on her temples, she was Madam Yuan beside Xiao Yu.

Behind her were two maids, the personal maids brought by Xiao Yu from his parents' home, Chunxiao and Chunming.

When Xiao Yu saw them, he opened his mouth and was speechless.

That day, they met patrol guards when they went out of the palace secret passage. She protected Zhao Hong and got separated from Madam Yuan and the others. Madam Yuan was serving her when she was urinating. It can be said that she was the closest person to her. Chunxiao and Chunming grew up with her since childhood. When she saw Madam Yuan's eyes turned red, she suddenly thought of Zhao Hong and asked her: "Where is Brother Hong?"

She was caught back, where is Brother Hong? He is the blood of the Great Wei royal family. How could Xue Zhan let him go?

Madam Yuan said, "Don't worry, Empress, the emperor is fine. The old slave asked, and after the thief Xue brought the emperor back, he locked him in Jingyang Palace, but there were people around him to serve him, so don't worry."

Madam Yuan felt most sorry for Xiao Yu. No matter whether Xiao Yu became the queen or the queen mother, in her eyes, she would always be a child who needed care. When she saw her being brought back that day, she felt distressed when she saw her in a mess.

Xiao Yu was silent. She didn't know what Xue Zhan would do to deal with her and Zhao Hong, but based on his cruel nature, she would raise Zhao Hong well, and I think she would not touch him for the time being.

She breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Where is the Duke of Guardian?"

Madam Yuan was worried and said, "The Duke of the State is loyal and loyal, and he still refuses to support the new emperor, so I am afraid..."

It has been half a month since Xue Zhan ascended the throne and became emperor. Now the entire Jincheng has surrendered to him, and those who are dissatisfied have been executed. Xiao Yu knew that the previous emperors of the Great Wei Dynasty were incompetent, and when they arrived at Zhao Yu, the Great Wei Dynasty was in danger. It is inevitable that the dynasty would change... But she did not expect it to be so soon.

Now all the ministers in the court have surrendered, but even if they are dissatisfied, they dare not say anything. But their Xiao family... with her father's temperament, it is very difficult for them to surrender to Xue Zhan.

Madam Yuan told her again that she was brought back that day and slept on the couch for two days.

Xiao Yu has always been used to being spoiled. He hid outside for half a month, and was hungry and hungry again in the cold. How could he withstand it?

Xiao Yu got up from the bed after drinking the medicine and was about to take a shower. Since he had been captured by the Xue thief and was under house arrest, she stayed here peacefully before she thought of a solution. She usually loved to be clean, and she had not taken a shower for more than half a month, and she was sweating, and she felt her whole body was sticky.

Chunxiao and Chunming prepared bath soup and helped Xiao Yu in to take a bath.

She had already changed her body to wear a coarse linen clothes when she was in trouble, but her skin was delicate. She had been wearing the slit for half a month and had some red rashes on her body. Madam Yuan applied plaster for two days, and then she got better. Her body was immersed in hot water, and Xiao Yu felt extremely comfortable. Thinking of the half month of sleeping in the open, she was afraid that she would never want to live such a hard life in her life.

I cleaned my face with a clean towel, and immediately showed a beautiful face of jade stamens and beautiful flowers.

The girl from the Xiao family has always been beautiful, while Xiao Yu is stunning and is the most beautiful emperor.

Now, only a piece of slender jade neck and snow-white shoulders were exposed in the bathtub. Below were two fragrant balls surrounded by hot water, full shape and standing upright.

Madam Yuan scrubbed her, and when she rubbed her under her chest, she suddenly felt a slight pain.

Seeing Xiao Yu frowned slightly, Madam Yuan said, "The Empress suffers outside."

Xiao Yu looked down and saw that there was a bruise on his originally snow-white skin, which was very close to the lower edge of his chest. In a trance, she remembered that when she was caught that day, the man directly took her on the back of the horse, and his arms were very thick.

Xue Zhan has a cruel temperament and is naturally a villain in the mountains and wild people.

At this time, Xiao Yu no longer cares about such trivial matters and is taken advantage of, so he has to endure it.

After taking a shower, Xiao Yu changed into a brand new palace outfit.

Before she could even squeeze her hair, she asked Chunxiao and Chunming to prepare her pen and ink. She wanted to write a letter to send it to the Duke of the Guardian Mansion.

The great Wei Dynasty was over. No matter how loyal and courageous her father was, if he continued to persist at this time, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg. The Xiao family of the Duke of Guardian Mansion was a general family, brave and good at fighting, and was able to plan far and wide, and no one could match. Her brothers and several cousins ​​were also talented men of the generals. I think that because of this level, Xue Zhan did not touch the Xiao family.

Although Xue Zhan has ascended the throne, he is a traitor. If he commits another killing, it is probably because the people are unstable. The Xiao family is the leader of the nobles in Jincheng. If the Xiao family bows down and surrenders, the value it brings is much better than simply destroying the Xiao family.

A real man can bend and stretch, and he will pretend to surrender for the time being. If he wants to kill Xue Thief in the future, he can make a long-term plan.

Saving your life first is the most important thing!

Of course, Xiao Yu would not mention these thoughts in the letter at all, but wrote to persuade his father to surrender. If so, even if the letter was intercepted by Xue Zhan, it would be no big deal.

After writing, you will write your nickname at the last sign.

...

Late at night, the young emperor was discussing affairs with his old ministers who surrendered to the Great Wei Dynasty.

These old ministers were talking nonsense in front of Empress Dowager Xiao and the little emperor, but they were quiet and silent in front of the cruel new emperor.

After a quarter of an hour, the ministers dispersed, and the waiting palace servants stepped forward and handed the intercepted letter in their hands: "The emperor, it is the one from Fengzao Palace, and he wants to secretly hand this letter out of the palace..."

Fengzao Palace...

Xue Zhan narrowed his eyes, took the letter, opened it and looked at it. It was covered with beautiful small calligraphy on it, neat and pleasing to the eye. He browsed it roughly, gently rubbed the signature with his thumb with a thick cocoon, and then he hooked his thin lips and threw the letter onto the imperial desk.
