Rebirth of Weak Daughter of the General’s Family

A staff of the East Palace met Wang Zhi when he went out of the palace, led him to a small room in the palace, received the memorial, and asked him for the details, and asked him to wait in the room and hurriedly went to see the prince.

Wang Zhi looked at the decorations in the house, feeling completely at a loss. This house is almost a utility room in the palace, not even the concierge. But in Wang Zhi's eyes, it was incredibly advanced. He was a poor child in the border area, who survived from the dead, and stood in the palace today, sending a letter to the future emperor! Wang Zhi has a sense of pride to stand out, and he feels that he is about to rise from time to time.

Although the prince was born much higher than Wang Zhi, his mood at this time was very similar to Wang Zhi. He was trembling with excitement as he read the memorial for help written by Ji Wenzhao! The memorial stated that Bei Rong had blatantly violated the border. There were more than four hundred thousand people north of Yancheng, and another one hundred and thirty thousand people took the route to the northeast. The purpose should be the inland coast. The Shen Jiajun sent nearly a thousand soldiers to resist, the second son of Zhenbei Hou was injured, and the rest of the soldiers swear to die. Considering the disparity in power between the enemy and ourselves, I hope that the court will let the southeast region make early preparations. Moreover, the Shen Jiajun is not strong enough to resist the northern army of the Northern Rong, lack of food and grass, and shortage of weapons. I hope the court will reinforce it as soon as possible! ...

The prince read it several times, and felt comfortable: Shen Jiajun is insufficient! Lack of food! The total number of Bei Rong has passed 500,000, and Shen Jiajun must be wiped out! It's been a few days since Zhenbeihou, and a few days have passed since the Third Prince!

The staff member whispered on the side: "According to the messenger, he pushed the second son of Shen under the arrow of Beirong. The second son of Shen has died, but Ji Wenzhao is afraid that Zhenbeihou's mood will be affected and will not report."

The prince smiled: "Okay! Okay! The Shen family and his son have already gone one of three."

The aides pointed to the memorial again and said: "There are 400,000 troops on Beirong North Road, and Shen Jiajun is definitely not the enemy..."

The prince finally raised his head and laughed: "Okay! My palace is waiting for him to lose!"

An aide hesitantly asked: "Should we rush to the emperor and let the court send reinforcements as soon as possible to prevent the defeat of the Shen Jiajun and Bei Rong goes south"

The prince prince exclaimed: "What kind of faction should be dispatched? What kind of soldiers can be dispatched. These years of famines, munitions are cut, and many army troops have long been dispersed. The Northwestern army has not been mobilized for many years. I have to wait for a few months. Only the emperor’s Royal Forest Army has tens of thousands of horses, but that is to protect the father, so how can we send them out of the capital"

The staff member said with some worry: "Then, in case..."

The prince chuckled: "Zhenbeihou said he wanted to guard the border for the people and the country. Now is the time for him to fight hard! A Shen Jiajun should at least fight two or three Beirong, otherwise how can he be worthy of their traditional title of heroism? They all died desperately, and Bei Rong had few left! Hahahaha..." He was extremely excited.

When the prince stopped laughing, the staff member asked again: "When should this memorial be presented to the emperor?"

The prince said: "Why are you now passing the new year? Wait a minute. This day is more than half a month ago, and wait for the last ten and a half months. It's okay. Who sent the letter?"

The staff also said: "It is a subordinate of Shen Jian, the second son of Zhenbei Hou. This person has heard that his Highness said before that by killing the children of the Shen family, he can be promoted and made fortune..."

The prince waved his hand: "Kill him..."

The staff member said hurriedly: "He said that he still left an informant who would inform him of the news in the future in Hou Zhongjun, Zhenbei."

The prince snorted: "He didn't want to use this to threaten him."

The staff hurriedly said: "He doesn't seem to be a scheming..."

The prince scolded: "The betrayer has no scheming yet! Keep him first, and the letter from the border will ask him to confirm if it was written by the person he left behind. But the emperor in the future asked about the person who delivered the letter. Seriously wounded and died! So that the emperor will not see him in person. Let him live in your house first, and when the north side is over, get rid of him."

The staff member hurriedly agreed, quit, and let Wang Zhi follow him home. Fearing that someone in the capital would see Wang Zhi and recognize him, he asked Wang Zhi to ride a donkey cart with him.

Wang Zhi didn't know that he had just escaped the scourge of murder. He rushed all the way, sent the letter and entered the palace, feeling relaxed and excited. Asked the prince’s staff in the car: "I killed Zhenbeihou’s second son, did it count as a great service?"

The staff held their breath, not wanting to hear the sour smell of sweat on Wang Zhi's body, and replied with a nasal voice: "Naturally it is... a great achievement."

Wang Zhi anxiously asked: "Have the Prince said so, what is the reward?"

The staff said: "The prince said that he would be rewarded with great rewards. When Yancheng falls, it should be given to you."

Wang Zhi is full of yearning: "Can I have a yard, can I have an official position"

The staff was vague: "Don't worry, you must be worthy of you."

Wang Zhi laughed: "That's good, you help me stare, I will get an official in the future, and I will help you."

The staff nodded with a smile and turned to face the car window so as not to vomit out. (Let you betrayer come and help me live my life.)

Almost at the same time, the old Taoist priests and the young Taoist priests also returned to Xiaoyun Temple outside the city. This time, they can be regarded as returning home in good condition, and they have brought a cart of things. Anyway, the people and things in the wine cellar must be evacuated and cannot be left to Bei Rong, so Zhang Yunzheng asked people to bring a lot to the old Taoist priest. Not only those materials that need to be refined, but also wine and meat, food and cloth...

The old Taoist arrived at the door and generously gave Guanli a cart of things. Naturally, no one gave him a cold eye this time. The little Taoist also straightened his waist and ran back and forth to help. The old Taoist didn't show up at all, he still lived in the old room with the little Taoist, but asked to use the pill room and make some pills.

The Taoist priests of Xiao Yunguan did not object, after all, this time the two old Taoists did not eat and live for nothing as before, which is not so contemptuous.

The prince was very excited, and he was full of energy for several days. He has been waiting for this day for so long, and now the dawn is ahead! He looked forward to receiving new news every day. Finally, the day before the Lantern Festival, the Prince’s messenger network sent the first letter from Zhang Ding, an insider trained by Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi checked the secret notes and handwriting and recognized that it was written by Zhang Ding. This letter confirms that all the Shen Jiajun who tried to stop the Beirong Northeast Route Army were dead, and that the Northeast Route Army should have gone all the way south. It was also said that Bei Rong in the north had crossed the border, and the Shen family army retreated across the board, with countless casualties. Now they are all fleeing to Yancheng. If Bei Rong chases after him, it will probably be besieged.

Such good news kept the prince awake all night. He didn't worry about the hundreds of thousands of Donglu Beirong at all. The coastal area is densely populated, with 30 to 40 million people. Of course he doesn’t know that this was Bei Rong in his previous life. Under the leadership of Huo Luo, he burned, killed, looted and looted all the way, and no one dared to stop him. , Arrived in the capital smoothly, and washed the city with blood...

What the prince is doing now is to repeatedly speculate in his heart when Shen Jiajun should be wiped out. The time in the letter was before the New Year's Eve. According to Bei Rong’s actions, Yancheng must have been besieged at this time, and Yancheng must be turned upside down...If Zhenbeihou died, he couldn’t wait to see the expressions of the three princes. ...

During this period of time, Yancheng was really as the prince had imagined, it was fighting fiercely.

Since Tugu Khan divided his troops, he began to formally attack the city. Ji Wenzhao feared that if Tugu Khan was given a heavy blow, Tugu Khan would recall the West Route Army that had left and join forces to destroy Yancheng. After all, the West Route Army left not long ago, and they were all cavalry. They came and went quickly and couldn't help but guard. So he was very cautious, so that it became more difficult to defend the city: he could neither show his strength nor let the enemy succeed. He only used second-class garrison soldiers to fight at the front, and let the elite soldiers be on guard from behind and were not allowed to go forward. All weapons are still the past, plus stones. If the enemy attacked the city, he poured hot oil and lit it. If there was an enemy on the city, the people on the side of the city could only use a wooden club to hit it down. It was really impossible to stop it. Only the soldiers waiting behind came forward. There is a sharp blade...

Only those siege carts or catapults being pushed forward, Ji Wenzhao dared not let them approach. Zhang Yunzheng left a long crossbow at that time, which was aimed at this kind of thing. This kind of long crossbow is fixed on the ground and requires two people to step on the pedal and pull it apart with a mechanical arm. The range is farther than that of a sling siege ladder. The crossbow has a sight to aim at. Ji Wenzhao asked people to shoot those soldiers who manipulated these siege equipment to ensure that they could not get close, and fired the rocket with the oil bag again and again, until the wood was ignited and the large siege equipment was burnt one by one.

Therefore, the northern soldiers can only rely on the human sea tactics, carrying dozens of ladders to climb the city. For more than ten days, the city fought fiercely day and night, although Bei Rong's soldiers could not attack it, but the strength of the city always seemed precarious. Sometimes you can even see the old and weak people pulling open bows and shooting arrows at the arrow pile, making people feel that Shen Jiajun is already at the end of the crossbow...

In Yancheng, Shen Jiajun is not only not the end of anything, but is full of vitality like the bud of a new birth. Soldiers mobilized every day marched through the street, morale and orderly. The people carried food and water to the city in groups, and the medical soldiers led the people to send the wounded down. The inspectors of the household registration led the retired soldiers to sort out the miscellaneous people. Suspicious people could not go to the city at all. Of course, the more elite soldiers are, the better they are, and they can only sleep, eat and practice every day.

Shi Helin dressed like a bun and took turns explaining first aid knowledge to these soldiers every day.

"Children, I have heard that you are the best in the Shen family army. You are either sharpshooters or good riders..."

A soldier shouted: "I can do both!"

There are also stubborn questions: "That's not a good fighter?"

Shi Helin has become accustomed to these people's tossing, and said with a good temper: "It's all counted!...It's not easy to train you anyway! Don't hurt your body because of injury. I will tell you what to do if you are injured. How to do……"

The soldiers looked at the sky boredly: "Heidi, do you know the people above?"

Shi Helin is especially proud: "My boy Duan Zeng can lead the medical soldiers! He and General Shen Shen are good friends!"

Someone immediately said: "Then you let him ask, when will we be on the battlefield"

Another said: "That's right! The crooked mouth who was with me saw me yesterday, saying that he had been to the city four times, every three hours, and beat Bei Rong more than a dozen attacks. He felt like he It’s amazing. I pretended to ask me if I was injured. Bah! I told him that I was not injured, but his mouth was tilted behind his head..."

Someone interrupted: "Hey, stop talking! Shi Langzhong, are you going to see Duan Langzhong today"

Shi Helin said with an empty voice: "I...I haven't seen him for several days..."

A soldier suddenly slapped his head: "Heartman! I miss you! That day, when we went into the city, did you pick us up and somebody hurt your arm. When he hit the horse, you fainted to the ground."

Another said: "That's right! Duan Langzhong has to carry you back...

Everyone laughed and Shi Helin was angry: "I can't stand the smell! What's the matter! You kids! Hurry up, listen carefully..."

Someone hurried over and shouted: "Shi Langzhong? Duan Langzhong fell on the city..."

Shi Helin paled: "Ah! Take me there!"

He ran all the way with the incoming people to the city wall. There was a row of wounded on the side of the road, waiting to be carried away one by one. The strong smell of blood can be smelled from outside, Shi Helin just feels that the sky is spinning. But he still resisted, and recognized one by one, and finally saw Duan Zeng. Duan Zeng's body was bloodstained, Shi Helin's eyes turned black, but he immediately rushed over and picked up Duan Zeng's hand to signal pulse. After numbing for a moment, he frowned, then trumpeted carefully for a while, let out a breath, and then untied Duan Zeng's clothes to check the wound.

A medical soldier came and said: "Duan Langzhong just fainted, don't wake him up, he has been guarding for several days and nights..."

Shi Helin nodded: "That's right, he's just getting off, just sleep for a while..." Then, he was taken aback, and then he laughed. The people around were in a hurry, and the city was shouting. Everyone looked at Shi Helin and thought he was wrong. Shi Helin laughed enough, and said to the sleeping Duan Zeng: "Look! I'm not fainted!" A man who ran by his side turned around and shouted: "Then go to the city!"

Shi Helin hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, I'll go and see..."

He walked up to the city and saw outside the city wall, a large number of soldiers from the North Army shouted for killing. Some soldiers and civilians in the city were shooting arrows and throwing stones in front, some passing weapons and stones in the back, and some sending hot oil or food. Water... shouts, screams, burnt smell permeates...

Shi Helin trembled, but reluctantly smiled and said, "It's...so lively..."

Someone in the ear shouted: "He is injured!" Shi Helin ran over...

The Beirong Northeast Route Army, which had been frightened by the avalanche, fell apart after a few days. Most people are greedy for life and fear of death, so they return to the grassland. There are beasts everywhere on the grassland. They may be poor, but they can easily survive from starvation. Some people also want to try to go to the south: Maybe Tugu Khan has not withdrawn troops, sooner or later someone will come to support, and they will be able to invade the Southern Dynasties. The southern dynasty has always been a country of wealth, and you can earn more than a hard-working generation on the grasslands if you grab it. Don't do it for nothing.

So three or four thousand people passed through the snow and over the unguarded ridge. Some people took Huo Luo's head and went to Yancheng to find Tugu Khan, while others continued to go south.

Tugu Khan was a little upset to see that he couldn't capture Yancheng for so long. When the moon was full, the soldiers were allowed to rest for a few days before fighting again, so the soldiers and civilians of Yancheng had a Lantern Festival without fighting.

The people who defended the city got a respite and hurriedly rested. Zhenbeihou and Ji Wenzhao led the generals to study the deployment of soldiers. Shen Yi once again sorted out his own guards. Shen Jian and Yan clan "discussed" important tasks in the Chinese army all night...

There was no activity on the Lantern Festival in Yancheng. Ji Yan personally pasted a lantern, painted green mountains and green waters, and a line of egrets hanging high in front of the door, making Ji Wenzhao who came back to see her suddenly got hot eyes and almost shed tears.

The Lantern Festival in the capital is naturally much more lively. Lanterns and festoons are everywhere in the palace, vowing to celebrate the new year. There is a grand dinner in the palace. In previous years, the emperor would walk on the lantern street in the palace to see the lanterns made by concubines in the palace. This year should be no exception.

In recent years, the prince did not want to go out of the palace to the lantern market in the capital, so he only spent the Lantern Festival in the palace.

After the dinner, the third prince went back to the house by himself, as he used to be uneasy. After the banquet, the emperor went to the inner room of the main hall to rest for a while, and the concubines were also given thick clothes in the side hall. When the emperor came out again, a group of concubines were already waiting inside the palace gate.

With the help of the eunuch, the emperor put on a thick fleece coat, and Xue Guifei stood beside the emperor with a smile. Then it was reported that the prince and the princess had also arrived and came to accompany the emperor to go shopping around the lights.

Talking about the salute between the crown prince and the emperor's concubine is a bit complicated. The prince is the regular wife, the mother of the country and the emperor's concubines are all concubines. According to the etiquette, the concubine should salute to his wife. But the emperor is a monarch, even his little wife is considered the elder relative to the prince, and according to the number of generations, the younger generation must salute. In terms of grade, the prince and concubine Xue are of the same level, and they should exchange courtesy. Other concubines are inferior to the prince, so they should salute her... and so on, it makes people dizzy, and in the end, they usually give up half courtesy to each other.

After the crown prince and concubine saluted the emperor, the crown concubine deliberately approached concubine Xue Gui and half-littled her, and concubine Xue concubine hurriedly returned the salute. There was a strong fragrance on the prince's coat, which was faintly mixed with a fishy smell. When Xue Guifei heard it, she suddenly felt nauseated and almost vomited, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand.

The princess asked with some concern in her tone: "The empress feels good."

Concubine Xue Gui swallowed hard, and said shyly, "It's okay, I probably ate more at the dinner just now, I'm so sorry."

The crown princess breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, I thought the empress was overjoyed..."

This sentence resounded like a drum and hit Concubine Xue's heart again. Xue Guifei's face turned pale in an instant, and she reluctantly smiled and said: "The princess is really joking..."

The prince's fierce gaze swept the prince's body, but the prince smiled at him, and then said to Xue Guifei: "The lady should let the royal doctor come to see her pulse. If she is pregnant, she must be careful. Yeah!" Although her words are literally caring, but when she speaks them, she feels insidious.

Concubine Xue Gui hurriedly said: "No, no, no, let's accompany the emperor to watch the lights first."

The emperor said with a silky smile: "If Concubine Ai is unwell, how can she delay her visit and pass on the imperial doctor."

Concubine Xue Gui shook for a moment, almost standing unsteadily. The princess said kindly: "Sit down for a while. If you are really happy, but congratulate you..." The smile on her face was deep in Concubine Xue's eyes. With deep malice, Xue Guifei stammered in fright: "Why am I...not...I am happy..."

In the main hall, the concubines exchanged their eyes, the emperor walked to the table and sat down and said to them: "Let's go look at the lamp, I'll be here in a while."

Everyone knew that if something happened, the emperor didn't want to fall into the eyes of others, so he hurriedly saluted and walked out of the hall together. But after they walked far, they talked in low voices in twos and threes, and some couldn't help but laugh twice.

The emperor Xue Guifei, the prince prince concubine and several court ladies and eunuchs were left in the main hall. Xue Guifei began to tremble and said to the emperor with a trembling voice: "The concubines are really uncomfortable. Can you go back to the palace and let the doctor go to the court? In the concubine palace..."

The emperor said: "I also want to know what is wrong with my concubine, otherwise, doesn't it seem that I don't know the roots?" Although there was a smile on his face, there was a chill in his tone.

There were big beads of sweat on Xue Guifei's face, and her childhood was late, but this kind of thing had happened in the past, and she didn't know if she was pregnant.

The princess was smiling steadily, the fishy smell she used was usually smelled but the spice smell was not right, but if she was pregnant, she would be sick. Over the years, she has been staring every day at who might be pregnant, how could Concubine Xue escape her eyes?

There was no expression on the Prince's face, his hands clenched in his sleeves.

After a while, an imperial doctor came in hurriedly and saluted the emperor, the prince and the others. The emperor touched Xue Guifei with his chin and said, "Check the pulse of Concubine Xue and see if she is happy." How long has he not touched Concubine Xue for a year? Did this **** do something in two years

Xue Guifei's lips trembled, and she looked at the doctor with tears in her eyes: "No...no..."

The emperor said to the outside: "Go find another imperial doctor, don't make a mistake." He gave the imperial doctor a stern look.

The doctor nodded quickly: "The minister must be cautious."

He motioned to Concubine Xue to sit down, and Concubine Xue was a little swayed, and the crown prince stepped forward and smiled and helped Concubine Xue: "Please sit down, please, it is a good thing to have joy..."

Xue Guifei smelled the scent again, almost vomiting, and quickly covered her mouth. The emperor's eyes became cold, Xue Guifei's face was full of sweat, but still with a trace of luck, under the emperor's gaze, she stretched out her hand.

When the imperial doctor's fingers were placed on Xue Guifei's wrist, Xue Guifei shook all over and almost jumped up. The princess next to her held her arm and whispered: "Please stay calm and restless..."

Concubine Xue did not want to smell the fragrance of the princess, so she could only hold her breath. She turned her eyes to see the sarcasm in the princess's eyes, her eyes widened and suddenly said: "You...you..." She opened her mouth and gagged again. ...

The doctor said: "Congratulations to the emperor, I am so happy!"

The emperor smiled lightly and said to the royal doctor: "Are you sure"

The doctor nodded hurriedly: "Yes."

The emperor nodded and said, "Go down."

The imperial doctor just wanted to ask if it was necessary to prevent the fetus, but found that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, so he hurriedly bowed out.

The crown prince whispered to Concubine Xue: "Congratulations, Niang Niang."

Joints appeared on the prince's cheeks.

The emperor said to the prince and princess: "Let's go look at the lights!"

The prince knew that as a son, he couldn't stay here to see how his father was wearing a green hat, but he really wanted to be here. But under the emperor's gaze, he still saluted silently, and the princess also smiled and saluted the emperor, whispering: "Congratulations on the emperor!" Then he left the hall in the footsteps of the prince.

When Concubine Xue Yu Guangli saw that the prince was gone, tears began to flow. She trembled like a pendulum. At this moment, someone outside the hall said: "The imperial doctor is here!" This is another imperial doctor who has been invited.

The emperor said: "Come in!"

The second doctor came in and saw that Concubine Xue Gui was crying, and the emperor's expression was wrong, so he was extra careful. The emperor asked him to check the pulse of Concubine Xue, but the result was still the same: Concubine Xue was pregnant.

When the imperial doctor left, there was only the low cry of Concubine Xue Gui in the hall. Outside the hall, there was the sound of firecrackers in the distance, indicating that the Lantern Festival night was already late.

Concubine Xue Gui slid off the chair and sat on the ground, knelt down to the emperor, crying and said: "The emperor, the concubine deserves a million to die for, but you can ask the saint to read that the concubine is pregnant with the royal flesh and blood, and spare the child in the concubine's womb. , Concubine Rongchen gave birth to this child, and then gave the concubine to die." Just now, when she knew that she was pregnant, there was also a hint of joy in her huge fear. She finally has her own child!

When the emperor heard the words "royal flesh and blood", his face turned dark. This kind of thing is not uncommon. In the former royal family, the father-in-law married his daughter-in-law, and the son married Lao Tzu's concubine. What he could not tolerate was that they were just under his eyelids and deceived himself!

The emperor said: "Call the prince!" Who else is there besides the prince? The three princes want to leave right away every time they enter the palace. They don't want to stay here for a minute. The four princes are not there! Who else can the so-called "royal flesh and blood"!

After a while, the prince hurried in. When he saw Xue Guifei kneeling on the ground crying, he knew that he was most afraid that things would finally happen. He saluted the emperor and asked quietly: "What's the matter with the father's name as a child?"

The emperor glanced at Concubine Xue and asked the prince: "What should I do if my concubine has an affair with others?"

The prince was shocked and said: "There is such a thing!"

The emperor sneered and nodded to the prince and said: "Indeed, there is such a thing!..." He was about to swear, and the prince said solemnly: "Then you should be beaten to death!"

Concubine Xue Gui stopped crying and suddenly turned to look at the prince. The prince didn't look at her, but looked at the emperor intently.

The emperor stared into the eyes of the prince, the prince's eyes stared at the emperor in a daze, without flinching, he meditated in his heart: I have nothing to fear! Bei Rong has attacked!

This rare bravery caused the emperor to shake his original judgment: this child has been frizzy since he was a child, and he will have a guilty conscience when he does things, and he will never be so calm.

Finally, in the eyes of the prince, the emperor blinked first.

Concubine Xue Gui screamed: "His Royal Highness! This is your child!"

The prince looked at Concubine Xue in a daze: "What does the empress mean by framing this palace for having an affair with you, and you will frame this palace for poisoning in the future. Please respect yourself! Don't support this palace!"

Concubine Xue Gui almost collapsed. She couldn't stay on her knees. She lay down on the ground and started crying again, "Your Highness! Your Highness! How can you say that! Those flowers before the moon, those Yanhao...you said that in the future..." There was chaos in her mind, and things happened so fast that she couldn't react. Before coming today, thinking of seeing the prince, she even dressed up specially. She knew that she would accompany the emperor to watch the lanterns during the Lantern Festival. She probably had no chance with the prince. She still had a thorough bath, her toes were repaired, and a layer was added. Pink nail polish...

But suddenly, how come to this point! Numerous memories were suddenly used. The prince wore an eunuch's costume and entangled her passionately on the Qixi Eve. She thought she was looking forward to the love of her lover... To set off the indifference of the prince when he vomited "death with a stick"...

The crown prince interrupted Concubine Xue and saluted the emperor: "Father, my son doesn't want to listen to these nonsense. Someone must have bought this person to frame the boy, and ask my father to check it out and Rong Erchen to retire." He said lightly. , Without care, with the kindness of preserving some face for the emperor.

Concubine Xue Gui was struggling to crawl towards the emperor: "Your Majesty! Please give birth to this child by your concubine Rongchen, and confess her blood with the prince!"

The emperor's face was even more gloomy: He also shed blood to acknowledge his relatives! Do you still want to slap me in public! I'm afraid you don't know that I am wearing a green cap

The crown prince twitched his mouth coldly: "Absurd!"

Concubine Xue Gui cried again: "Your Majesty! The prince let his concubines poison him!" But this was exactly what the prince said she would frame.

The prince sighed to the emperor: "Father..." He didn't say much, and looked helpless.

The emperor looked at the prince for a long time, and the prince half bowed his head indifferently, as if putting everything aside, not at all nervous...

The emperor frowned slightly-did someone really frame the prince? He looked at the prince and said slowly: "Then, I will listen to you." He raised his voice and said to the outside: "Come on, kill Concubine Xue with a stick. On the grounds that Concubine Xue was performing a witchcraft in the palace, a copy of Xue Mansion in Jiangnan!

Concubine Xue Gui burst into tears. Her eyes were blinded by tears. In a blur, she suddenly saw that many years ago, Jiangnan, two young people, one light and breezy, one proud and handsome...Remorse is like a pierced awl. Xue Guifei's heart: No wonder they can be so indifferent, because they have the magnanimity of asking others. In her heart, she loves the kind of arrogance that is pure and noble, not kitsch, not lowly, and disdainful of co-existence... But why did she change her mind because she couldn't get it, and she turned into the opposite side, pursued status and power, and forgot The character is precious, and a misstep will become an eternal hate... She hissed to the prince: "You are going to hell! You will not have a good result!"

The emperor never looked away from the prince’s face: the prince’s expression was calm, his eyelashes did not tremble, and there was no abnormal behavior—it was not the first time he heard these words, and the woman cursed a few words, which was really boring. Are these useless words interesting

An **** came in to block Xue Guifei’s mouth and dragged her out of the hall.

The prince relaxed: the emperor still wanted to save his position as prince. Otherwise, Concubine Xue should be sent to jail and tracked down.

The emperor waved his hand to the prince: "Go look at the lamp."

The prince saluted the emperor: "You can accompany the emperor father to walk a few steps on Dengjie. There are a few lanterns that are very interesting."

The emperor felt that if Concubine Xue Gui had an affair with the prince, it would be hard for the prince to be able to talk and laugh like this when Concubine Xue died. He looked at the prince for a moment, and saw that the prince looked attentive and said: "Go pick a few for me and hang them out here for me to take a look."

The prince nodded and said, "Okay, the son will go and choose for the father."

After he retired, there were only the emperor, Grandpa Sun and a few eunuchs in the hall. The emperor motioned to Grandpa Sun to help him get up, and Grandpa Sun realized that the emperor's hands were shaking and still a little cold.

Grandpa Sun helped the emperor walk back to the bedroom, until the emperor sat on the bed after washing, the emperor said: "It turned out to be the prince concubine..." It seems that it should be the prince. The emperor knew about the nastyness between the prince and the princess. The crown prince was chosen by the queen at the time, and the emperor didn't care at all, let the crown prince taste the evil results his mother gave him, so that he understood a lot of truth and knew who to listen to.

The emperor thought about it again, and said to Grandpa Sun, "Go and ask the eunuchs and palace ladies of Fei Xue, and search her place."

Grandpa Sun responded, and the emperor said: "You should know what to do tonight."

Sun Gonggong said hurriedly: "I know." He asked people to shut up.

The emperor sighed deeply: "I am old."

Grandpa Sun said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is not old."

The emperor slowly shook his head: "As for the female, I don't have any thoughts anymore. From Fei Xue, it's just..." A distant figure emerged... The emperor coughed a few times and felt that his chest was very tight. He shook his head: "That unbelievable thing!"

Grandpa Sun said in a low voice: "The prince will understand his majesty's love for him sooner or later." The emperor's resolute killing of concubine Xue Gui did not mean that a bed of brocade was covered by a scandal. I just don't want to tear my face with the prince on the spot. Concubine Xue Gui is dead, there are others, how things will be found out, leaving a concubine Xue Gui who yelled at the prince in public is not good for anyone. As for the child in Xue Guifei's belly, even the prince's child could not be allowed to give birth to her. How should this child call her elders? Concubine Yang had to divorce her husband before she could be with her father-in-law. Wu Zetian also had his husband dead and entered the temple. He was regarded as a widow. Only then could he come back openly to have a child with the new emperor who was regarded as his own son. But now what is the matter of Concubine Xue Gui's concubine and son, this is not only adultery, but also incest.

The prince really chose a few novel and unique lanterns on Lamp Street and sent them to the emperor. Only then did he know that the emperor had rested, and then he returned to the East Palace. It was past midnight.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Shen Wen also knew that Yancheng was besieged, and the northern army was divided. These things are developing according to plan, but Bei Rong's division of troops went to Zhang Yunzheng's side, and Shen Wen was even more worried.

It was the Lantern Festival again. She remembered that she went out with Zhang Yunzheng during the Lantern Festival at the border gate, so she wanted to go for a walk too, to review the places where the two people walked in the past, to dispel her nervous and anxious mood, and to spy on the movement in the palace .

It was a cold winter, and the moat outside the palace was frozen three feet long, and Shen Wen crossed the river smoothly.

This time, there was no Father Gu in the palace to intercept her, but Shen Wen was still very cautious. She is seventeen years old, and her body is fully grown, which is easier to expose than her short stature in the past. She went straight to the East Palace, trying to get a peek at what the prince was doing. The prince logically said that it was time to get news of the border, but now there is no news.

The East Palace was extremely quiet, and Shen Wen was hidden in the darkness, listening carefully, and noticed that there was a sound in one direction. She went in that direction, but when she reached the wall of the palace, she regretted coming.

The courtyard was full of palace ladies and eunuchs, but no one made a sound. The prince’s curse came from the palace: "What do you think of this palace! With a blind eye, how did your parents teach you? Maybe this palace should teach you well. Teach you the rules..."

The prince's voice with a sneer: "Naturally, I don't have the affectionate eyes of others, because I don't want to mess..." There was a "pop", followed by the sound of a string of tables and benches falling to the ground, and then indecent Sound of action.

Shen Wen understood what was going on. As soon as he was about to leave, he heard the crown prince shout: "They are all dead outside! Come in!"

Shen Wen was surprised that the prince was calling someone at this time, obviously...

Some people in the yard did not move, and some rushed in. The prince in the room turned out to be performing in public... After a while, the prince opened the door and turned around and cursed: "Bitch!" This was delivered in front of everyone. Give it to the princess, enough to make her unable to look up for a lifetime.

Shen Wen was in shock: She had no idea that the relationship between the prince and the prince was so bad! She couldn’t help but rejoice: if the prince and the prince were completely broken, then the prince would lose the most important support from the Lu family in the court...but then, she understood why the prince dared to treat the prince in this way-the prince got the north He probably felt that he was only one step away from the news of Rong's infringement.

Shen Wen sneered in the dark: You are too proud of yourself.

She stopped staying any longer, turned around and left the palace.

In the city, she passed the house of the eldest prince, and then went to the place where Zhang Yunzheng was asked to buy wontons. Now that the famine years have passed, wonton stalls have appeared on the street. Shen Wen looked at the steaming food stall and missed Zhang Yunzheng very much. He secretly decided that he came back and he must come here again with him.

Finally, Shen Wen arrived at the courtyard, knocked on the window, and was surprised to find that Gu Gong had opened the door and signaled her to enter.

Shen Wen saluted Gu Gonggong. This is Shen Qiang's master, considered an elder, and she must be respected.

Father Gu nodded and received the gift, and motioned Shen Wen to sit down.

Shen Wen had a question to ask Father Gu, and after thanking Father Gu for his teaching to Shen Qiang, he asked: "How is my fourth brother's martial arts?

Gu Gonggong replied: "He is born with supernatural power and a genius in martial arts. Although he is young, he is already an inaccessible master."

Shen Wen asked: "Can you lead a hundred people to save my house?"

Grandpa Gu said thoughtfully: "If he is willing to kill, it's just a matter of effort."

Shen Wen hurriedly asked: "willing to open"

Grandpa Gu nodded: "Your four brothers are generous. Although you have martial arts, unless you practice your own martial arts, you will never be ruthless against his brother or me. He is only modest and can't fight."

Shen Wen nodded slowly.

Grandpa Gu suddenly asked: "You want the third prince to be the prince"

Shen Wen looked at Father Gu, decided to speak out, and whispered: "More than a prince, I want him to become an emperor."

Father Gu seemed to smile and said, "That's good."

Shen Wen returned to the mansion, met with Shen Zhuo privately the next day, and talked about Shen Qiang's temperament. Shen Zhuo said: "I will let Lao Guan help him, and I will tell him well when I leave. Although he doesn't speak, he understands."

Shen Wen said: "We must ensure that we can hold the Hou Mansion for one day."

Shen Zhuo thought for a while and said: "If it's a few days, I can't guarantee it, but if it's just a day, he and Laoguan, with a hundred people, surrounded his grandmother's small courtyard, it will definitely work."

Shen Wen also felt that there shouldn't be too much problem, so she stopped struggling with this problem. She had other things to arrange, such as Zheng Qian.
