After Xiao Jingzhou ascended the throne, he was extremely busy.
One meal a day is a common occurrence.
Jiang Zhenyu was very excited and asked him what he had eaten for three meals a day, only to find that he was just starving.
For this purpose, Jiang Zhenyu wrote a letter and asked Xiao Jingzhou to pass it to Lu Chen.
The letter instructed Lu Chen to watch Xiao Jingzhou eat on time.
Every time I missed something, I would write it down in a small notebook so that she could settle the score with me later.
For this purpose, Jiang Zhenyu also gave Lu Chen a box of snacks.
Used as his labor fee.
Lu Chen gladly accepted it, and whenever Xiao Jingzhou didn't eat on time, he would take out his little notebook.
After a long time, Xiao Jingzhou was almost stressed out when he saw the little notebook.
...
...
At this point, the food was served on the table, he put down the letter and started eating.
Lu Heng ordered someone to send the blueprints to Wei Wenshan. Fortunately, Wei Wenshan understood it immediately.
On the second day after the coronation ceremony, a batch of new weapons was delivered.
Xiao Jingzhou personally inspected the weapon and found that the improved weapon had a tougher blade and was more handy.
He immediately ordered someone to deliver the weapons to Wei Feng.
On this day, Xiao Jingzhou was reading memorials when Chen Lan entered the study in the main hall.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Xiao Jingzhou didn't even raise his head: "All the concubines in the palace have been dismissed."
“There is no Concubine Shen and Princess Wanning anymore in this world, and when the war is over, you can be reunited as a family.
Shen Lan knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
He slowly raised his head and said, "I came here for another purpose."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingzhou raised his head and looked at him: "Stand up and talk."
Shen Lan stood up and said, "I have found Mu Xi."
Muxi? Mu Zhao's sister.
Xiao Jingzhou frowned slightly: "How to find it? Where to find it? Where is the person?"
Shen Lan said: “Lu Heng has known Mu Xi since he was a child, and he recognized Mu Xi in my camp.
Now both of them are outside the temple. ”
Xiao Jingzhou said in a deep voice: "Let them enter the palace."
Soon, the two men walked into the hall.
Lu Heng and Mu Xi saluted.
Xiao Jingzhou said calmly: "No need to be polite."
The two stood up. Mu Xi lowered her head and saw that she was tall and stood out among the crowd.
Xiao Jingzhou: "Look up."
Hearing this, Mu Xi slowly raised her head, revealing a scar on her fair and beautiful face.
The scar is long, but it doesn't look like a knife wound. Instead, it looks like an injury caused by a dagger or a hairpin.
Xiao Jingzhou searched for Mu Xi for a long time but there was no news.
He said, "I have searched everywhere in Zhiyi City and Yuanfeng City, but to no avail."
"Mu Xi, where are you hiding? Why are you hiding?"
Mu Xi cleared his throat and returned to his normal voice.
She said in a cold voice: "I was stranded in Chibei, and it was only because of your Majesty's rescue that I was able to enter Zhiyi City and have a roof over my head."
"The civilian girl has a special identity. She disguises herself as a man in the Chibei military camp and treats the wounds and illnesses of the Chibei soldiers in the army."
"After entering Zhiyi City, His Majesty ordered the men to bathe together, so I had no choice but to change back into female attire."
"I found a house to stay in and went to the clinic the next day."
After Mu Xi finished speaking, everyone present finally understood the reason.
Lu Chen suddenly realized, "No wonder, the place you first looked for was a garment factory. You probably changed back to men's clothing after hearing the news."
Mu Xi nodded: "I am taller than ordinary women, only half a head shorter than the men, and I have a scar on my face, which I often smear with dirt.
Then no one would draw a hook between a commoner woman and a woman. ”
Xiao Jingzhou nodded: "That's smart."
Soon, Chen Gan entered the hall to report.
"Your Highness, General Mu is outside the palace. Should he be summoned to the palace?"
Hearing this, Mu Xi's pupils dilated, with a mixture of surprise and fear.
Xiao Jingzhou said calmly: "Mu Xi, the person outside the palace is your brother, Mu Zhao."
"I respect your opinion. Do you want to see him now or not?"
Mu Xi subconsciously wanted to shake her head. She saw Chen Lan's concerned look and the handkerchief she handed over.
I felt depressed.
Mu Xi smiled bitterly and said, "We have to meet each other anyway, so let's do it today."
Xiao Jingzhou: "Announce."
Mu Xi stood in the hall, looking outside the house frequently.
Shen Lan comforted softly: "It's okay, once the secret is out, everything can be solved."
Hearing this, Mu Xi did not relax at all, and his shoulders even tensed up.
She frowned and clenched her hands.
Mu Xi's every move, even her anxiety, fell into Xiao Jingzhou's eyes.
It was unknown how much time had passed before Mu Zhao walked into the hall.
He performed the Eastern Zhou ceremony to Xiao Jingzhou: "Mu Zhao of Eastern Zhou, congratulations to Your Majesty on ascending the throne."
"No need to be polite."
There was another person following behind Mu Zhao, who was holding a gift in his hands and presenting it with both hands.
Lu Chen quickly took it.
Xiao Jingzhou said calmly: "Mu Zhao, do you know the person beside you?"
Mu Zhao saw Shen Lan from the side, but unexpectedly Shen Lan took half a step back, revealing the figure of another person.
The man lowered his eyes, and his lips were trembling.
The relative he had been looking for for many years suddenly appeared in front of him. Mu Zhao stood there in a daze with his pupils shrinking suddenly.
After a few seconds, he finally reacted, stepped forward and said happily: "Sister, I finally found..."
Mu Zhao put his arm around Mu Xi's shoulders and saw the scar on the other half of his face.
"Sister, what are you doing..."
Mu Zhao stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the scar, but he was hesitant to do it.
His hand was suspended in the air, as if he saw a bloody wound.
Mu Zhao's hot tears suddenly fell.
His voice was hoarse: "Sister, how painful it must have been for you at that time!"
Mu Xi lowered her eyes and two tears fell to the ground.
She looked up and said, "A Zhao, I'm not in pain."
Mu Xi reached out and touched Mu Zhao's face: "It's great to still be alive and see you."
The brother and sister cried inconsolably, and Xiao Jingzhou asked someone to prepare a place in the side hall for the two to reminisce about the past.
The two of them cried for an unknown amount of time before they washed their faces and walked out of the side hall.
Mu Zhao came out of the side hall with an indescribable strange look on his face.
The two returned to the hall, and Lu Heng was the first to break the silence.
"What on earth is going on?"
"They can clearly meet each other as family members, but why is it delayed for such a long time?"
Mu Xi has adjusted his mood.
She said: "It was not the Chibei Army that broke through the city gate of Guyan County, but the Dongzhou Army that opened the gate in the middle of the night to welcome the enemy."
One sentence can cause a thousand waves.
Shen Lan was shocked and puzzled: "Has the Eastern Zhou army gone crazy?"
Mu Xi explained calmly.
"The Mu family army has guarded Guyan County for generations and has made numerous military achievements."
General Mu had a son and a daughter. He couldn't bear to see his daughter suffer, so he made Mu Zhao a hostage in the capital.
General Mu Lao died and Mu Zhao was not yet an adult, so the King of Eastern Zhou sent Li Yuanqian to guard Guyan County.
Seeing that Mu Zhao was about to reach adulthood, the King of Eastern Zhou could no longer sit still.
The King of Eastern Zhou made a deal with Hu Riwei, exchanging the city of Guyan County for 20 years of peace in the Eastern Zhou imperial city.
Lu Heng was also confused: "How to change?"
He had never heard of asking the enemy country to conquer the city in exchange for peace in the imperial city.
It's really unbelievable.
Mu Xi said: "When I was treating Hu Riwei's deputy general, I heard him say,
The King of Eastern Zhou used the people of a city in exchange for Mu Zhao's loyalty to guard Guyan County.
On the day the city was captured, my portraits were spread all over Guyan County.
If it weren't for the scratch on his face, he would have been killed. ”
When the city was broken, the people were like ants.
Shen Lan's breathing stagnated. He didn't even dare to think about how Mu Xi would be treated if he was found!
