The Abandoned Daughter

Chapter 327 Before the Storm

After Lin Wen got up, he didn't say much, and immediately discussed the situation in Beijing with Emperor Jing.

This time there were no shortage of military attachés, and everyone gathered together and discussed a plan in a short time.

When it was almost noon, Lin Wen and other ministers came out of Jingdi's main account. After everyone has camped here for these hours, they can finally start as they wish.

Xie Ruzhuo has been taking care of the Qiao family for the past few days, and the Li family has come to look after him from time to time. However, after the Lu family was scolded by Xie Ruzhuo that day, he never showed up again.

Xie Ruzhuo didn't care either. Lu's did not come out, but she was very relaxed. It's just that the Qiao family was very sorry, and sighed, "Now your status is different. I am really sorry to respect the princess to take care of me."

Upon hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly smiled, "What did the mother say? Today, I don't say it is me, even if my sister is here, she will only take care of me more than I am."

Xie Ruyue did not come for this year's hunting trip, just because she was pregnant.

Qiu Shou got the news before, and the delighted Princess Dingnan and Xiao Junhe stayed in Beijing to accompany Xie Ruyue to raise the fetus. Xiao Xinyue was also unwilling to go hunting to join in the fun, so the King Dingnan's family in Beijing was here.

As soon as Xie Ruzhuo talked about this, the Qiao family began to worry again, "Now the capital is surrounded like iron barrels, and I don't know how Yueer and the others are doing, she is still pregnant."

Seeing the Qiao family like this, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but smile, and calmly said, "Mother don't worry, sister Ji Ren has a natural appearance. What's more, are you vegetarian in Dingnan Palace?"

It's just that she was a little worried in her heart. Xiao Junyi is a mad dog. If she bites someone randomly and hurts Xie Ruyue, it will be no good.

In fact, Xie Ruzhuo's worries are not redundant.

That day Xiao Junyi raised troops to besiege the city, it was Xiao Junyan's idea. And the family surrounded by Xiao Junyan's head is Dingnan Palace!

Who is Xiao Junyan? He had done the murder of his father a few years earlier, but after it was revealed, he was put under house arrest by King Dingnan and deprived him of the right to inherit the son.

It was only afterwards that he was so clever as a tongue, King Dingnan was also old, thinking whether he was a concubine and the late concubine, and then he was released.

Xiao Junyan has been clear and honest over the years, but he has made layouts secretly. He may not really help Xiao Junyi, but he sincerely wanted to mix up the water in the capital.

There are not many soldiers in the capital, but the leader of the patrol and defense camp is Xiao Junyi's loyal subordinate. The Nine City Soldiers and Horse Division controlled the harem up and down, and outside the patrol camp owner, surrounding the entire capital like an iron barrel. In addition, in the capital, all the ministers' family members, old and young, remain, which is equivalent to pinching the lifeblood of most people.

At that time, they want to attack, but also have to consider the consequences of the attack.

"His Royal Highness?"

Xiao Junyan yelled several times, but Xiao Junyi did not respond. Xiao Junyan raised his voice immediately.

Hearing the voice, Xiao Junyi came back to his senses, but he asked in a daze, "What's the matter?"

He can't eat well these few days, and he can't sleep well. He always dreams that he is in a sea of ​​fierce flames. Every time he falls, he will end up broken and broken.

And his actual situation is not much better. The original plan was to encircle the hunting ground, but Xiao Junyan said no, because he couldn't slaughter all the ministers. He also recommended a way to himself, saying that he sent a killer to assassinate Emperor Jing.

Unexpectedly, this assassin who had been sent out for a few days had come back in despair. Seeing the defense that Emperor Jing had already brought people to the capital, the situation was about to be reversed, and Xiao Junyi was not like being put on the stove in his heart. Stop grilling in general.

Xiao Junyan sneered in his heart, but said calmly on his face, "Now the emperor will be in the capital within two days at most, I don't know what your highness intends?"

Xiao Junyi said anxiously, "What can I do? I've been listening to you from beginning to end, and now all the people who have been smashed by you are driven to a dead end!"

Originally, he thought that relying on the strength of the Beijing North Camp was enough, who knew that the group of people turned out to be violent, but in fact they were still loyal to Emperor Jing!

"Yes, it's all my fault, but right now it's not the time to ask who is right and who is wrong. Your Highness should think about it, what can we do to get out of the current predicament."

Xiao Junyan said, a vicious light flashed through his eyes.

Hearing that, Xiao Junyi grabbed Xiao Junyan’s arm again, "Do you have any ideas? Cousin, I trusted you to do this. At the beginning, you asked me to go into the water, but now we are two ants on a rope. Grasshopper, you won't be better if I fail!"

Xiao Junyan resisted the urge to shake off his hand, and calmly said, "Your Majesty, don’t worry, I have a clever plan. Let’s not say that the gate is unbreakable. By then, as long as we hold the gate, we will find a skilled archer. , Cut the emperor out of the city. The dragons have no leader, and Beijing North Daying must be out of control. Let's take this opportunity to take down the other princes."

His idea was really bad and bad, so Xiao Junyi actually took it as a good strategy and went to the archer happily.

It was not until Xiao Junyi left that Xiao Junyan slowly got up, looked at the sky outside, and then showed a bloodthirsty smile.

Two days later, Emperor Jing and others approached the city, but the capital was too tightly surrounded, people inside couldn't get out, and people outside couldn't get in either.

Emperor Jing was not in a hurry. He immediately ordered people to encircle the capital publicly, but secretly dispatched elite soldiers to attack the capital at night.

Naturally, women don't need to participate in these things. A group of people stayed in the palace outside the capital, while Emperor Jing took the lead in deploying the battle plan.

Xiao Junxi came back very late, when the moon was full of the garden, Xie Ruzhuo was already asleep.

He deliberately eased his steps when he entered the room, but Xie Ruzhuo opened his eyes as if he felt the moment he entered the room.

Thousands of stars seemed to leak from her eyes, Xie Ruzhuo smiled, "Husband."

Xiao Junxi walked to her, kissed her affectionately on her forehead, and said, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

Xie Ruzhuo smiled slightly, and consciously moved himself inside to make room for him. He smiled and said, "I heard you come back, and I woke up again." After speaking, he asked with a look of exhaustion on his face. Said, "Is things going well?"

Xiao Junxi nodded and said, "My father has already sent someone out, but he won't be back for a while, I can only wait for news." He took off his boots and went to bed with Xie Ruzhuo before sighing comfortably. He smiled, "The folks say that wives and children are hot on the bed. This is true and true, and now I am fulfilled if I am worse."

Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo's face blushed, and he glared at him, "I'm used to talking nonsense, who are you talking about?"

Xiao Junxi said seriously, "Is it wrong for my husband?" As he said, he put his hand on Xie Ruzhuo's flat lower abdomen, a little discouraged, "It is reasonable to say that we have been married for a while. What happened?"

It's the end of September now, and the two got married in less than two months, so where is it so fast? With the distressed look on Xiao Junxi's face, Xie Ruzhuo was so angry and funny, so she stretched out her hand to push him away and said, "Go on your side, I'm going to sleep."

After speaking, he actually covered his head with the quilt and turned his back to him.

Only then did Xiao Junxi's joking expression turned away, and her brows gradually tightened.

In fact, none of them was sure about the attack today. Leaving aside the concubines in the palace, they are the family members of the ministers and the elderly elders, who told Emperor Jing that he would not dare to attack, otherwise they would definitely be the first to suffer.

Xiao Junyi didn't dare to come out of the city, so why did Emperor Jing dare to come?

So it's glued here right now.

Emperor Jing would rather have this son come out of the city to confront him head-on. At any rate, even if he is a fool, he is also his son, who has such an aura.

Who knew that Xiao Junyi had directly banned the capital and would not go out!

You know, this rich place belongs to the capital, Xiao Junyi naturally has no worries about eating and drinking in the city, even if he has been closed for a year and a half, it is not a problem.

But at the moment internal and external troubles, the Yue Kingdom is fighting in the border areas, and many things are waiting for Emperor Jing to decide. Xiao Junyi's doing this will only encourage Yue Guo's ambition!

Therefore, Emperor Jing came up with a way to raid tonight. Whether it succeeds or fails depends on tonight.

This night, many people are destined to be sleepless.

It's just that Xie Ruzhuo is not included.

Although she turned her back to Xiao Junxi, the sound of a man's steady breathing came from behind, which made her feel particularly at ease, and she fell asleep until the daylight was bright.

When I woke up in the early morning of the next day, the mattress beside me was already cold, and it was obvious that I had been walking for a long time.

Xie Ruzhuo yawned softly on the bed, and saw Jiang Zhu walk in from outside, brought a basin of water and smiled, "The master is awake."

Xie Ruzhuo nodded and asked, "How long has the prince been gone?"

Jiang Zhu glanced more carefully, and smiled, "Perhaps half an hour has passed, and the prince said you are asleep and don't let the servants disturb you."

With that, she put down the basin again, walked over to set up a tent for Xie Ruzhuo, and helped her out of bed.

Xie Ruzhuo slept very peacefully this night, and felt refreshed when he got up. After washing his face and cleaning up, he took Jiang Zhu to the main courtyard to greet Concubine Ye Gui.

Xiao Xinning was getting tired of being here, and seeing Xie Ruzhuo, he stood up and saluted immediately, and smiled, "Please greet the emperor's wife, why did the emperor's wife come here so early?"

Xie Ruzhuo smiled slightly and bowed to Concubine Ye Gui first, before replied, "The queen mother is here, so naturally I have to come here earlier."

She paid attention to Concubine Ye, seeing a trace of sadness in her eyes, because she asked, "Queen, what happened last night?"

Hearing this, I saw Ye Guifei's face sinking, "The Nine City Soldier Ma Si also took refuge in the fifth, and the sneak attack last night failed."

Xie Ruzhuo's expression changed, and what kind of department the Nine City Soldiers Ma Si was, was even in a rage with Xiao Junyi! How stupid are these people?

"How good is this?" Xie Ruzhuo murmured, then looked up, "The queen still has to relax. The fifth prince is not going the right way, and the sky will not allow it."

Until now, she could only comfort concubine Ye Gui in this way. After all, a woman, no matter how much scheming, can only try to seize the heart of a man.

But when it comes to marching and fighting, those little cleverness are not needed at all.

Concubine Ye Gui nodded slightly and sighed, "Yes." After that, she changed the subject again and asked, "Did you ever eat breakfast?"

Seeing Xie Ruzhuo shaking his head, Ye Guifei immediately passed the meal.

After breakfast was too late, Xie Ruzhuo spoke with Concubine Ye Gui for a while before going out and preparing to go back.

She didn't want Xiao Xinning but followed behind her, her expression stopped.

Xie Ruzhuo asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"
