First Lady of the Crown Prince

 Chapter 1000 Reunion of old friends (Jingkong episode)

 Last night, she carried a heavy load on her back, which already caused her waist and backache. Today, she took the children to smoke incense for a whole day. Gu Jiao was considerate of her husband-in-law and consciously put back two boxes of the little Taotao in the drawer.

　　　Unexpectedly, my husband-in-law was so stubborn that he walked over blankly, opened the small medicine box, and took out the little Taotao that she had put back.

 One box, two boxes, three boxes.

 That's right, he even added a box in a domineering manner!

 Gu Jiao: “…”

 Do you have any misunderstandings about your duration?

 The two spent an indescribably charming night, and the sound lasted until dawn.

And the couple who were supposed to go to the Duke's Mansion on the second day of the Lunar New Year could not get up this time.

 …

The three little Doudings are sensible children. They rarely make trouble with their parents. They usually make trouble with their uncle Shangguanqing. Now that Xuanyuan Xi is back, the three of them make trouble with him instead.

Xuanyuanxi once again experienced the despair of being dominated by the little beans. At dawn, he was pulled out of bed by the bun army headed by Xiao Yan.

 Children are so energetic.

 The three of them want to ride horses today.

Mainly because Xiao Yan wanted to ride, she voted for three people alone, and Xiao Cong's objection was invalid.

Xuanyuan Xi took three little tails to find Xiao Shiyi.

Little Eleven was not in the stable at the moment. He went to the Black Wind King to flirt with him, but was chased away by the Black Wind King. He fled to the frozen lake and fell directly into the split!

Black Wind King is the same age as Gu Jiao. He is twenty-four this year, which is already an octogenarian for a war horse.

Ordinary war horses begin to enter old age at the age of sixteen. The horse's back gradually sags, and its muscles atrophy and become weak. However, these phenomena do not seem to appear in the Black Wind King.

It is still strong and robust.

Little Eleven was beaten up badly.

I went out for a year and thought my wings were hardened. Only when I came back did I realize that I was naive.

 Xiao Shiyi feels aggrieved.

However, if you look carefully, you can still see the difference.

In the past, the Black Wind King chased it and beat it without blushing or panting, but now after beating it, it stayed in place and panted for a long time.

Little Eleven stood up with his horse's mane messed up, came to the side of the Black Wind King, and rubbed his head against him.

 As if asking, hey, are you okay?

 The Black Wind King walked away proudly.

 Its back is not as strong as it was when it was young.

Over the past seven years, countless war horses from various countries have challenged its authority. It has never been afraid of challenges. It has defended the honor of the Black Wind Cavalry with its absolute strength and created its own legend.

It walked in the cold and windy snow. Although it was breathing heavily, it still had an elegant pace and a calm posture. It seemed to have an innate killing aura and a kingly aura.

Little Eleven followed it silently, stepping on its footprints playfully.

 The Black Wind King looks back.

Xiao Shiyi stared at it blankly, opened his mouth wide and smiled at it!

The Black Wind King silently withdrew his gaze and continued to move forward proudly.

 …

In the first month of the first month, the imperial palace was immersed in a joyous Spring Festival atmosphere, but suddenly one day, a piece of news from the Zhaoguo border broke the atmosphere.

 The western border of Zhao Kingdom was fortified and more than ten cities were lost!

“Did Liang Guo do it?” Gu Jiao asked the guard who came to deliver the letter.

The western border of Zhao State is actually bordering Yan State, but Yan State has not done such a thing and will not do such a thing, so only Liang State is left.

Liang State is located in the southwest of Zhao State, but it is farther than Yan State and separated by a long waterway.

The guard hurriedly said: "I said it wrong, I said it wrong, it's not the Western Territory, it's the Eastern Territory!"

 “Chen State?” Gu Jiao still remembers the battle of defending Yuegu City eight years ago, “How could Chen State fight with Zhao State?”

 Is Yuan Tang crazy?

 Two years ago, Emperor Chen passed away and Yuan Tang came to the throne.

 He had offended Prince Bo and had a falling out with Concubine Rong's mother's family, the Rong family. His situation in Chen State was not as peaceful as it seemed. How could he attack Zhao State so carefully?

Besides, Yuan Tang has no reason to do this.

The guard said bravely: "It seems...it's not Chen's army, it's Wei's!"

Two doubts welled up in Gu Jiao's heart: Why did Wei State attack Zhao State? Why was the army of Wei State able to successfully enter Chen State?

The guard added: "In addition, there is one more thing. The Shadow Department found out the name of Prime Minister Liu. His name is Liu Yisheng."

Even though she had already speculated, when the moment of confirmation came, Gu Jiao was still shocked.

The State of Zhao probably never dreamed that the orphan of the Liu family, who was bullied like a rat crossing the street by Zhaodu, would actually lead the troops of the Wei State eight years later to cross the border of the State of Zhao in one fell swoop and seize twelve cities in a row. city!

Gu Jiao murmured: "He is Yuan Tang's cousin. When his army enters Chen State, Yuan Tang will betray him. However, Zhao State's military strength is not vegetarian, so why did it fall to this point?"

The guard sighed: "Speaking of which, it was just a coincidence that Marquis Xuanping returned to his fiefdom with Princess Xinyang to stay for a short time. He was not in the court, and the old Marquis Ding'an was old. The most suitable general to fight was Gu Changqing, the new commander of the Gu family army. and Tang Yueshan, the marshal of the world’s soldiers and horses.”

Gu Jiao frowned and said, "The two of them have a great chance of winning."

The guard said: "It's very big. The problem does not lie with them. The Emperor of Zhao followed the example of Yan and asked the prince to go out on behalf of the emperor to boost the morale of the army. Who would have thought..."

Gu Jiao said for him: "I never thought that the prince was a fool. He fell into someone else's trick and blindly commanded in the middle of the battle, which made the soldiers of the three armies miserable."

The guard nodded: "That's right."

“Who is the traitor?” Gu Jiao asked.

 “Fourth Prince...Blessed King.” The guard replied.

 Gu Jiao almost no longer had this character in her memory. It was only when he was mentioned now that she remembered that she had met the fourth prince when she first came to Zhaodu.

Liu Yisheng was ill. The fourth prince was dissatisfied with his treatment of Liu Yisheng and made trouble for her in the street. Later, he accidentally bumped into Xuanping Hou, and the fourth prince gave up.

However, this person didn't have a strong sense of existence, and he didn't mean to do anything big. Gu Jiao turned around and forgot about him.

Who would have thought that after ten years of dormancy, the prince would be stabbed like this?

Gu Jiao asked: "Did he collude with the Wei army?"

The guard replied: "Yes."

Gu Jiao said calmly: "He used to look down on Liu Yisheng the most, but now he is collaborating with Liu Yisheng. It's really ironic."

"Isn't it?" the guard sighed, "but he didn't end up in a good situation. After the incident, Prime Minister Liu turned around and stabbed him out. He also sent all the evidence of collaboration with the enemy and treason to Zhaodu and handed it over to the emperor. .The emperor became angry on the spot, and now it is Empress Dowager Zhuang who is handling the affairs of the court."

Speaking of this, the guard couldn't help but sigh, "Liu Yisheng is so cruel!"

First he seduced the four princes into collaborating with the enemy and treason, and then he used the hands of the four princes to seduce the prince, chilling the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the three armies and chilling the hearts of the people in the world.

 Finally, he stabbed the emperor into the heart.

 No wonder he was able to help King Wei unify the thirteen tribes. This method and strategy are so frightening.

The guard sighed again: "After this battle, regardless of whether the Zhao Kingdom is destroyed or not, the future of these two sons will be ruined."

The people will not accept a prince who collaborates with the enemy and treason, nor will they submit to a prince who has lost half of the country.

“Who is the general accompanying the army?” Gu Jiao asked.

The guard said: "Gu Changqing. The prince was captured. He tried his best to rescue the prince, but he was seriously injured."

He paused and stopped talking.

Gu Jiao continued for him: "If the emperor wants to protect the prince, he must find a suitable scapegoat and say that that person made everything without permission. There is no more suitable candidate than the commander-in-chief of the Gu family army. And if the emperor really does this Otherwise, that means Gu Jiajun will also be separated from him, and he will become completely alone."

The more the guard thought about it, the more he shuddered: "This guy named Liu Yisheng... his calculations are really deep!"

 …

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Xi rushed into Gu Jiao's study immediately: "Jiaojiao! I will fight! Take back the city of Zhao State!"

 He grew up in the State of Zhao, which was also his home.

 “You are waiting for my news in Shengdu!”

 However, this time, Gu Jiao did not let him go alone.

 …

In February, Zhaoguo lost another city.

Gu Changqing was injured and went into battle. He and Gu Chengfeng led the Gu family army to fight tenaciously and recaptured two cities.

The Wei army seems to have no regard for their plunder in the rear, and just pushes towards the hinterland of Zhao State. If you capture one, I will capture another one, see who is faster!

 It was under such circumstances that Gu Jiao faced Wei Jun.

It was a cold spring morning, the sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds, and the two armies were at war with each other on the banks of the Licheng River.

Gu Jiao was dressed in red armor and rode on the horse of the powerful Black Wind King with a cold expression. Next to her were Xiao Shiyi and Xuanyuan Xi, who were also wearing armor.

 It is said to be an army, but in fact there are only two of them.

The rest of them are still on the road, and their horses are not as fast as Black Wind King and Xiao Shiyi.

The Wei army is so happy. They have an army of five thousand. Isn't it just a joke to capture two people alive?

"Who is here?" asked a general of the Wei army. His surname was Mo, and he was a young general under thirty.

Xuanyuan Xi took a step forward on his horse. The young man said arrogantly: "You are worthy of asking my sister's name? Let Liu Yisheng come out!"

The auras of Gu Jiao and Xuanyuan Xi are very strong, but they are too young. Gu Jiao is already twenty-four, but she has a tender face and looks like she is less than twenty.

Not to mention Xuanyuan Xi, a thirteen-year-old child cannot pretend to be an adult.

 In addition, the two of them were almost working alone, so General Mo didn't take them seriously at all.

Gu Jiao said calmly: "I want to see Liu Yisheng."

General Mo sneered disdainfully: "Did you meet Prime Minister Liu just as you asked? Who do you think you are? I might as well put it here. Even if your prince from Zhao Kingdom comes, we, your lord, will not be able to see him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a white shadow flashed from behind the Wei army and rushed towards Gu Jiao.

 Gu Jiao did not dodge.

Xuanyuan Xi's first reaction was to attack him secretly. He was about to open his bow and arrow and shoot him to death when Gu Jiao gently held his wrist.

Little Baiying threw herself into Gu Jiao's arms.

Gu Jiao hugged the meaty little dumpling and asked in surprise: "Xiao Shi?"

 “Meow~” It nuzzled Gu Jiao.

　　Nine years ago, it was fostered by Gu Jiao in Liu Yisheng's home. At that time, it was just a little kitten. Now it has grown several times and is so heavy that it almost fills Gu Jiao's arms.

“Ah, it, it’s Xiao Shi?” Xuanyuan Xi was stunned.

 He had only heard about Xiao Shi from Jiaojiao, but had never actually met him.

 Wei Jun was even more surprised than him.

They have recognized the cat as the beloved little pet of their Prime Minister. The Prime Minister loves cats dearly and takes it with him everywhere. It is the only one who dares to tear the Prime Minister's clothes to pieces without fear of being punished.

 It is so squeamish.

　　Very fierce and difficult to serve, and does not like to get close to others.

 No one can touch it except the Prime Minister.

I heard that the emperor of Chen State even had his paw scratched by it.

 At this moment, it actually... threw itself into the arms of a stranger?

 Are they dazzled?

 Or did the young man use some means to deceive him?

General Mo pulled out the sword from his waist and said, "Let the Prime Minister's pet go free! Otherwise, he will be killed without mercy!"

 “Stop!”

 A cold voice sounded from behind, and General Mo was startled when he heard the words.

The Wei army automatically moved out of the way, and a man wearing Wei army armor slowly rode out.

 Xuanyuan Xi did not know him.

Gu Jiao felt that he looked familiar. After looking at him for a few seconds, she frowned: "Jun Xiuhan?"

Jun Xiuhan is a student at Canaan Academy in Yan State. He was Gu Jiao's competitor when he was selected to be the commander of the Black Wind Cavalry eight years ago.

 He ​​successfully advanced to the final round, but he took the initiative to hand his bamboo tube to Gu Jiao in the bamboo forest, and said to Gu Jiao: "I owe someone a favor, and I will give it back to you now."

Gu Jiao never figured out who the person he was talking about was.

 Could it be that—

Jun Xiuhan rode his horse and came to Gu Jiao. Xuanyuan Xi stopped her with his spear: "Don't get too close to my sister!"

Hearing the voice of sister, Jun Xiuhan showed no surprise in his eyes. He looked at Gu Jiao calmly and said calmly: "Commander Xiao, we have met again. Lord Liu wants to see you."

Once Prime Minister Liu’s pit is filled, it’s almost done.

Shangguan Yan’s emotional drama will not be described in detail, leaving some room for everyone’s imagination.

Recently, I have a cold and my brain is a little mushy. Secondly, I am also a little reluctant to finish writing it, so I am always procrastinating. But no matter how procrastinating I am, there will always be a day when I say goodbye to everyone.

I really, really like Jiaojiao. She is my favorite heroine in the novel. I also deeply love the other characters in the novel, Aheng, Jingkong, Long Yi, Auntie, Big Brother, Xiao Fengfeng... There are too many, and I can’t stand it anymore. My tears have been a little low recently.

good night, see you tomorrow.
