The Fourth Master’s Mansion.《》

Since Zuo Wenzhong visited Cao Yi, Xinmei, who was living in the mansion and the two little princesses, have been much better. Cao Yi uses his extremely deep connections and hidden power to quietly turn the

The officials who were guarding Xinmei were replaced by their own people, and Zuo Wenzhong also replaced all the guards on the outside with their own family members by their own positions.

This winter, Xinmei felt that life was not so difficult. Before the winter began, someone sent the best charcoal. These refined anthracite coals were too bad for Xinmei when Li Xiao was not in trouble.

It's too ordinary and not worth mentioning, but as Li Xiao becomes a traitor and a wanted criminal, for several winters, Xinmei, her two daughters and several old family members who did not leave, could only be removed.

Some wooden boards in the Fourth Master’s Mansion were used to burn the fire to keep warm, and the two little girls with pink and jade were often smoked black and coughed continuously.

This winter, it seems that there are some differences. The new officials are respectful in their attitudes. These home things are constantly being sent in. They even bring some famous snacks and exquisite things to the two little princesses every now and then.

.This made the two little guys extremely happy, and some happy smiles finally came from the secluded courtyard.

Xinmei didn't know what was going on outside, but in a brief conversation with the new official, she learned that this official belonged to Cao Yi's group, and whether the change in the attitude of the former chief assistant of Dayue's attitude towards her represents her husband.

Has progress been made in some aspects? This made Xinmei very happy.

The cold wind whistled outside the window, but the house was as warm as spring. The broken window paper had been made again, and in the charcoal basin. The best charcoal was burning vigorously, and green flames flashed. On the edge of the charcoal basin, there was a small copper pot.

He was steaming hot. Next to the oil lamp, Xinmei sat by the bed, smiling, looking at her two sleeping daughters, with these charcoal fires. This winter, the children can finally sleep well.

After years of secluded residence, the laughter of the two daughters is the only spiritual pillar supporting Xinmei. Their laughter makes Xinmei feel that all her efforts are worth it.

The little daughter was talking in her sleep, stretched out her arms and kicked her legs and lifted the quilt. Xinmei smiled and tucked it back on her. At this time in previous years, the two daughters hugged each other and kept warm, so she could sleep so peacefully.

?At that time, there was no good charcoal in the room, and the fire was lit with wood, and the smoke was too thick to sleep at all.

The sound of rapid footsteps sounded outside the door, and Xinmei's face changed slightly. It was late at night. The person who came was fast, indicating what had happened. Over the years, what she was most worried about was the visitors in the middle of the night because they

What they bring is basically not good news.

"Empress, have you rested?" A low voice of greeting sounded outside the door.

"Mr. Han. Is there anything wrong?" Xinmei asked. This Mr. Han, named Han Jiabao, was an official who was later influenced by Cao Yi and sent to visit Guan Xinmei and others.

"Empress, Zuo Wenzhong, the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, is here. If you have an urgent matter, you will see you."

"Zuo Wenzhong?" There was no such person in Qin Mei's memory. Moreover, as the Minister of Justice and replaced Xu Wei, he must be Li Jian's person. "What did he do here?" He was frightened in his heart.

When he was shocked, his voice became sharp, "How many people did he bring? Are he carrying Li Jian's secret order?"

"No, Empress, you misunderstood!" Han Jiabao outside the door was stunned, as if he had something to remember, "Mr. Zuo is here alone. He has something to report to the Empress. Will the Empress see you?"

Alone? Xinmei was stunned. Who is Zuo Wenzhong?

"Let him come in!" Xinmei sat at the table and reached out to illuminate the oil lamp, "Mr. Han, come in too!"

"yes!"

The door was gently pushed open, and a cold wind blew in the face, and Xinmei made a cold war excitedly. Zuo Wenzhong in front of her made her feel extremely surprised. This person was not wearing an official robe, but wearing it.

A blue robe that scholars on the street most often wore, wearing a cloak, covering their entire heads in the hood of the cloak.

"Zuo Wenzhong pays homage to the Empress!"

"A person who is guilty dares not be the grand gift of Lord Zuo!" Xinmei sat at the table and said coldly.

Zuo Wenzhong stood up straight, Xinmei didn't know her identity, so it was also appropriate to be cold.

"Empress, Wen Zhong is the Fourth Master. He used to be, and now he is!" Zuo Wen Zhong straightened out of the point and directly revealed his identity, "Mr. Han is Cao Xiang's person, and he is also his own!"

Han Jiabao bent down and signaled.

Xinmei looked at Zuo Wenzhong in surprise. After a while, she realized, "Are you the Fourth Master's person?"

"Yes!" Zuo Wenzhong nodded and said, "Wenzhong has been in the Ministry of Justice for many years and has always followed the Fourth Master. However, for some special reasons, my identity has never been known to outsiders. Of course, if it is not a secret identity,

I can't be able to be the Minister of Justice now."

"How is the Fourth Master now?" Zuo Wenzhong was in a high position and must have known many things that outsiders didn't know. Xinmei looked at him excitedly and asked. "

"Empress, the Fourth Master joined forces with Cheng Qun to defeat Xue Chengyi in Tongzhou, and wiped out more than 100,000 Xue Chengyi's troops. Xue Chengyi committed suicide due to his defeat. Xiao Zhongze, the governor of Tongzhou, surrendered. The Fourth Master's army will soon advance to Weizhou!

” Zuo Wenzhongdao.

"Have you arrived in Weizhou?" Xinmei was overjoyed. Weizhou had already arrived at the gate of Shangjing. It seemed that the Fourth Master was already looking at her victory. She looked back at her daughter who was still sleeping, and put her hands together.

"Amitabha, it seems that our nightmare is finally over."

"Empress!" Zuo Wenzhong looked serious, "The Fourth Master is about to enter Weizhou, and Li Jian has decided to lead the imperial army in person. Today I get news that Li Jian will take the Empress and the two little princesses to Weizhou,

front!"

Xinmei's eyes suddenly widened, "What do he want to do when taking our mother to the battlefield?"

Zuo Wenzhong sighed, "What else can I do? It's just that when the two armies are facing each other, do you threaten the Fourth Master with the Queen and the two little princesses?"

"Li Jian is so despicable!" Xinmei's eyebrows stood up, "Does their men actually drag two little girls who are ignorant of the world into it?"

"Empress, because the little princess is the fourth master's biological flesh and blood!" Zuo Wenzhong whispered.

Xinmei sat down slowly, "When will the army set off?"

"Empress, now the army is gathering in the capital to prepare food and grass. In five days, the vanguard army will set off. Within ten days, a hundred thousand troops will leave the capital and head for Weizhou."

"I won't go to Weizhou." Xinmei said slowly.

Zuo Wenzhong and Han Jiabao were silent. A weak woman and two underage children were using what to fight against Li Jian.

"Empress, I have already informed the heads of our intelligence agencies in the capital. They are planning to rescue the Empress and the two little princesses. But Empress, please wait for a few days. Even if we are crushed to pieces, we will rescue the Empress.

”

Xinmei shook her head slowly, "Time is too short. You have done your best to achieve this point. Since Li Jian has decided to take me away, I am afraid that someone will be there in the past two days.

Come here. Lord Zuo, your position is important. Don’t be exposed because of me, and don’t come again in the future. Tell us in the capital that we don’t have to make such unnecessary sacrifices, and they will not be able to rescue us.”

"Empress!" Zuo Wenzhong lowered his head. He knew that Xinmei was right, but even though he knew that things could not be done, the intelligence agencies in the capital had to do such a resultless thing.

"Mr. Han, I'll ask you something!" Looking at Han Jiabao, Xinmei said.

"Please give me instructions, and the emperor will do it for the Empress."

"You find some crane red for me!"

"Empress!" Han Jiabao and Zuo Wenzhong were shocked. "No!"

Xinmei walked to the edge of the bed, reached out to touch the red faces of the two children, stared at the two children affectionately, and said firmly: "Go and find it for me, I will never go to Weizhou, Lord Zuo, you are

The Fourth Master’s person, Lord Han, you are the Cao Xiang’s person. I believe that Cao Xiang has already formed an alliance with the Fourth Master. Do you want to see the two armies facing each other, and the three of us, mother and daughter, were hung high on the flagpole.

Are you insulted? Do you want to see the Fourth Master's army fail because of our mother and daughter? No, I will never allow this situation. For the nine-ren mountain, how can I fail? It is not easy for the Fourth Master to reach today.

Even if you die, this will not happen."

"Empress!" Zuo Wenzhong and Han Jiabao both knelt on the ground silently.

"Go and find it for me. Don't worry, until the last moment, I will never take my two daughters to die. Their good days have not begun yet! But if things cannot be done, we, mother and daughter, have three.

If they go to the underworld together, they will not be lonely, I will take care of them." Xinmei bent down and put her face on her daughter's face.

"Empress, you will not die!" A voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and everyone in the room was shocked. Looking back, a man in black was standing at the door.

"Who are you?" Zuo Wenzhong jumped up, his hand was retracted into the sleeve of the robe, and he held a short crossbow.

"My name is Cao Ping!" The man in black looked calm and walked into the room, "Sir Zuo, be careful of your crossbow arrow!"

"Cao Ping? Are you Cao Xiang's person?" Xinmei straightened up.

"See you now! Cao Cao knew today that the Empress was about to follow the army to Weizhou, so he sent me to protect the Empress!"

"Can you save the Empress?" Zuo Wenzhong said in surprise.

"Of course not in Shangjing now, but it will be fine in a few days. The Empress, please feel free to go with Li Jian's army. Cao Xiang has made careful arrangements and I will be one of the soldiers who escorted the Empress that day.

At that time, the empress will be escorted away safely." Cao Ping said.

"In the army, how can you escort our mother and son away?" Xinmei said in confusion.
