Song Tuanyuan raised her eyes, and the face of Mrs. Bai in front of her suddenly changed into that of another woman, beautiful and gentle, with dark and bright eyes, just like her.
Song Tuanyuan's head hurt more and more.
Song Tuanyuan couldn't help but cover her head.
"What's wrong?" Bai Guogong asked, "But are you not used to eating?"
Mrs. Bai also stepped forward with concern.
"It's okay, I just have a headache!" Song Tuanyuan said, looking at the Jiu Niang Yuanzi, thinking for a moment, raising his eyes and asking, "Mother, is the person who taught this Jiu Niang Yuanzi still alive?"
Mrs. Bai was stunned for a moment and looked at Duke Bai: "He is no longer here. He has been dead for many years. Why do you ask?"
"No, I just think the rice dumplings are delicious. This person must be good at cooking and wants to learn other skills!" Song Tuanyuan smiled.
"This person is not someone who teaches casually. It was just a coincidence that I learned the rice dumplings from her!" Mrs. Bai said. Song Tuanyuan's words actually brought back some memories of that year.
"Eat quickly, it's already cold!" Duke Bai seemed unwilling to discuss this topic, so he scooped one out and fed it to Mrs. Bai.
Mrs. Bai smiled, like a shy little girl, and raised her hand to get the spoon for herself, "The child is still here!"
Song Tuanyuan smiled and quickly took the opportunity to say goodbye.
"Okay, there is no one now!" Duke Bai said in a low voice, insisting on feeding Mrs. Bai.
Mrs. Bai then opened her mouth and ate a dumpling.
After tasting it carefully, Mrs. Bai whispered: "I haven't eaten it in years!"
Duke Bai looked at her, "In those years you were also afraid of seeing things and missing people!"
Mrs. Bai raised her eyes and asked, "Have you heard about what happened at Gulu Mountain?"
Duke Bai nodded: "I heard about it, but I think someone may be deliberately confusing the situation. How could that child still be alive? It was we who saw the child's body brought to Tiancheng with our own eyes. Because of this incident,
You couldn't help it and almost made a big mistake. If the Queen Mother's incident hadn't happened together, our Duke's Mansion..."
"You still blame me?" asked Mrs. Bai.
"I have never blamed you. Although I have been working hard outside these years, I feel at ease. If Jingnian had not always wanted to serve the court, we would not have come back!" Bai Guogong said.
Mrs. Bai also had the same thoughts. She held Duke Bai's hand and said, "Let's leave when Jingnian's matter is settled."
Duke Bai nodded, "Okay!"
Song Tuanyuan left the house with the taste of fermented glutinous rice balls in her mouth. The more she thought about it, the more familiar it became.
Ji Changan was sent away from Tiancheng by the emperor in the past few days. Ji Changan had someone send a message that he would take the opportunity to go to Gulu Mountain. I don’t know what happened!
As time passes by the end of November, the weather is getting colder and colder, and there are gradually more and more red colors in Tiancheng's market.
Entering the twelfth lunar month gate means celebrating the New Year.
On this day, Song Tuanyuan accompanied Mrs. Bai to the street to buy some silk and satin to make new clothes for the New Year.
A fast horse galloped past and almost hit Mrs. Bai.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Song Tuanyuan pulled Mrs. Bai into her arms.
"Who is he and how can he ride a horse?" The guard of Duke Bai's Mansion shouted loudly.
Someone next to him stopped the guard and whispered: "That's the 800-mile express mail sent to the palace. I've sent it several times in the past few days. We're all used to it, so be careful!"
When Song Tuanyuan heard this, he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "How many letters have you sent? But what happened?"
"It's said that there was a fight over at Gulu Mountain, and the fighting was fierce!" The man lowered his voice and said, "I don't know about anything else!"
Song Tuanyuan frowned and then remembered that Song Fuxin had been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate these past few days and had not come back.
"We women should not get involved in national affairs. Since it is not peaceful outside, let's go home quickly!" Mrs. Bai said, and ordered the shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop to take the silk and satin to the mansion to select it in the afternoon.
The shopkeeper of the silk shop quickly responded.
Song Tuanyuan accompanied Mrs. Bai to the carriage, but felt a little uneasy in her heart.
At noon, while Mrs. Bai was taking a nap, Song Tuanyuan went back to the Song family.
Song Fujin happened to be home.
Song Tuanyuan pulled him aside and asked about the situation at Gulu Mountain.
"Mom, I came back to tell you this." Song Fujin was a little anxious, "The situation at Gulu Mountain is not good. Qiu Jinhong led an army of 300,000 people to directly surround Gulu Mountain. Anyone who is suspicious will be
Kill them all, I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let anyone go."
Song Tuanyuan frowned. It seemed that Emperor Tianji really had murderous intentions. Then Ji Motian brought tens of thousands of Iron Mask troops, could he withstand it?
"There have been good news in the past few days, all of which are news of Qiu Jinhong's victory." Song Fuxin frowned, "And Mr. Ji is probably also in Gulu Mountain!"
Song Tuanyuan clenched his fingers and whispered: "He is indeed in Gulu Mountain!"
"Really?" Song Fujin was stunned and couldn't help but pace back and forth, "That would be troublesome!"
"What's wrong?" Song Tuanyuan's heart tightened.
"Today the emperor sent a secret message, saying that he wants Qiu Jinhong to eradicate the weeds and Gulu Town, and possibly massacre the city!" Song Fuxin said in a low voice.
"Massacre the city?" Song Tuanyuan was stunned, "How is this possible?"
"I was very shocked when I heard the news just now. It is really not something that a benevolent king like the emperor can do. But I confirmed it before I came back just now. The news is very likely to be true!" Song Fuxin said, so he
I was anxious to come back and confirm Ji Changan's whereabouts.
"A benevolent king?" Song Tuanyuan couldn't help but sneered, thinking of the secrets in the palace in Seoul, "The emperor is not a benevolent king!"
Song Fujin quickly looked around and lowered his voice and said: "Mother, although this is our own home, we still have to pay attention to the fact that the walls have ears!"
Song Tuanyuan smiled helplessly: "I'm just saying that it is really possible for the emperor to issue such an imperial edict!"
Song Fuxin frowned: "Then we have to find a way to save Mr. Ji!"
Song Tuanyuan clenched her fingers. Ji Changan wanted to pull her out of the quagmire of the former princess, but he didn't expect that he would jump in too.
"I'm going to Gulu Town!" Song Tuanyuan said in a deep voice.
"You can't go at this time. Martial law has already been enforced over there. How are you going to go?" Song Fuxin said quickly, "Moreover, Mr. Ji went to Gulu Mountain for my mother. If my mother goes, in case something happens, I won't let you down."
Mr. Ji’s thoughts?”
Song Tuanyuan frowned. It was undeniable that Song Fuxin was right.
Just when Song Tuanyuan didn't know what to do, Prince Cheng's Mansion sent someone to deliver a letter.
"Why did Prince Cheng send a letter at this time?" Song Fuxin was stunned and quickly asked someone to bring the letter in.
Opening the letter, Song Fujin frowned.
"What does the letter say?" Song Tuanyuan stepped forward and asked, also wanting to read the letter.
