That night, the eighth concubine had a high fever and couldn't afford to get sick. The fourth concubine took good care of her with her sister-in-law. She will be in good health for several days.

The fourth concubine told Chang Xi privately that she was frightened, and it would be fine after taking a few doses of medicine, and then she sighed again, "The sixth younger brother and sister died tragically on the city wall like this. The eighth siblings are very good friends. Even I have been having nightmares for the past few nights. I thought it would be the worst thing to go to prison. It turns out that there are worse things. I am really afraid. When will this day be? What's the end?" Finally, he couldn't help crying, obviously on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Chang Xi comforted her for a while, and then the fourth concubine managed to pull herself together. After all, she still had to think about the future of the children. The children had reached the age of starting a family, so they couldn't count on their father, so why not plan for her as a mother?Thinking of the dull eyes of the sons and daughters, where is the high-spirited look of the nobles in the past?In an instant, she couldn't care less about pity and sympathy for others, and it's better to focus on herself in this time.

Seeing the eyes of the fourth prince and concubine gradually turning indifferent, Chang Xi stopped saying anything.

Later, after the eighth concubine recovered from her illness, she stopped writing letters to her husband to persuade her to surrender, and began to believe in Buddha. She ordered Chang Xi to set up a small Buddhist hall in the mansion, where she burned incense and chanted scriptures every day, as if she could Get peace of mind.

After the fourth concubine burned incense and worshiped Buddha for a period of time, she stopped following the trend, so only the eighth concubine was left beating the wooden fish day and night like normal or crazy, and it was useless to persuade her children.

Wei shi sighed to Chang Xi, "It's because I was so frightened, I was afraid that such a fate would happen to me, so I looked for other comforts, let her go."

Chang Xi didn't want to take care of it at first, because she didn't have the energy, and secondly, the person involved had to figure it out on her own. What others said was useless. Anyway, when the war was over, this matter would have nothing to do with her.

However, in the spirit of humanitarianism, she invited a doctor to give the eighth prince a pulse and prescribe a prescription. Instead of seeking help from gods and Buddhas, she should take medicine. After a long time, it will be fine.

As soon as Zhao Jin's army came out of the northwest, it instantly destroyed and swept across the battlefield. The new god machine battalion composed of new bird guns played a key role. Almost as soon as they appeared, the battle would be over.

So the army of the fourth prince stopped the army of the eighth prince for several days, and then withdrew. The army of the eighth prince thought that the Gyeonggi area would be able to drive straight into the capital to pick up leaks.

Unexpectedly, at this time, they met Zhao Jin's army. When the two sides fought, the Eighth Prince's army lost and was captured on the spot. Surrender, in short, this force dissipated.

After receiving the latest news from the battlefield, Chang Xi only pondered for a while, and then told the news to the Eighth Prince and Concubine who was burning incense and worshiping Buddha.

I saw that her hand turning the Buddha beads stopped for a while, and then she said in a flat tone, "That's fine, I have nothing else to ask for now, but he can save his life." After finishing speaking, she looked up at Chang Xi, obviously wanting to I want a guarantee from her. Given how much Zhao Jin cares about her, as long as she asks, she will definitely agree.

Chang Xi smiled, thinking of something beautiful?Does she have such a deep friendship with her?Or did he owe her?
Taking a step back, she is so valuable that she can help?
This time she didn't say anything, she turned and left the small Buddhist hall directly.

The eighth concubine was stunned. She thought that Chang Xi would feel pity for her and would agree to her unreasonable request in order to comfort her. As a result, she turned around and left, instantly full of embarrassment, and then laughed at herself. Overreaching.

It's better to recite scriptures, at least you can decide for yourself.

The sound of the wooden fish sounded again, and Chang Xi, who had walked a certain distance, looked back when he heard it, with an indifferent expression.

Back in the front yard, she found Hu Niu, "You lead the team to the place where the fighting subsides, one is to rescue the wounded, and the other is to distribute food and porridge, so as to stabilize the high local food prices, so that the common people can be healed. If there is food to eat, you will be solely responsible for arranging this matter, can you do it?"

Huniu has been following Chang Xi all these years. After so much experience, she has already been able to take charge of her own affairs. She knows what Chang Xi is going to do, so she said solemnly, "It can be done. Don't worry, Mrs. Chang, I will definitely not be responsible. Your high hopes."

Chang Xi nodded, and then personally arranged for Hu Niu to escort Hu Niu to the north with food.

The arrival of Huniu is like the coming of a god to the people in the place where the war has subsided, so that their miserable life can be basically guaranteed, so that life can continue, so many people worship Huniu.

Huniu naturally didn't accept it, she claimed that it wasn't her credit, that she came to rescue them under the order of her eldest grandson and Mrs. Chang, with only one purpose, that is, to hope that they could tide over the difficulties and rebuild their homeland. It was a draft that she had already typed when she came.

The reputation must go to the eldest grandson and Mrs. Chang, especially Mrs. Chang. It is very beneficial to have a good reputation.

The local people were quite complaining about the royal strife and their harm, but now they heard this and immediately turned to support Zhao Jin as the emperor, and some even asked who Chang Niangzi was?Let them know and set up a longevity tablet for her.

Hu Niu was bragging a lot, if Chang Xi heard about it here, she would definitely blush, this bragging is too loud, be careful if she doesn't do it well, she will blow it up.

But at this time, the people at the bottom need such a mythical figure to appease the traumatized body and mind after the war. In addition, the food in their mouths is real, so it is easy to accept Huniu's bragging. Started to set up longevity tablets for Zhao Jin and Chang Xi to worship.

But this also has bad consequences, that is, the Wei family received a letter from the capital, which was written to her by her husband, saying that since the martial law in the capital, he was very worried, unfortunately contracted a cold, and now he is seriously ill, fearing the time Days are running out, I pray that she will bring Chang Xi back to the capital to meet him, so that he can die with peace of mind.

Wei Shi was furious after seeing it, and angrily scolded her husband for being unworthy of being a husband and a father, "Don't let the girls know about this letter, just keep your mouth shut."

Before the servant could respond, Chang Xi strode in and said in a deep voice, "I already know."

The outside of the house is watched by Mr. Xie Si, and there are people from the company's company inside. Of course, her hands are also interspersed in it, so she knows every detail, let alone Wei Shi can receive this letter. The letter was also the result of her release of water.

Wei looked at his daughter distressedly, "Don't listen to your father's ramblings in the letter, he is always a liar, and now he wants to trick you into going north as a hostage, that's why he sold it badly." Come to speculate on the person next to the pillow, "Take a step back and say, if he is really going to die, then so be it, what does it matter if you see him or not?"

Chang Xi glanced at the letter in her hand. If she was not familiar with the mighty Marquis, she might be deceived by the sincerity of the words in his letter. However, this is not the focus of her attention. The focus is on how to send the letter out of the capital to Yiyang Yes, it seems that Marquis Wuwu is likely to be used by one of the forces. As for whether this person is Emperor Chongde or the sixth prince who besieged the capital, it is open to discussion.

"Mother, I'll take this letter away first." She raised the letter in her hand towards Wei Shi, and then comforted her, "Don't worry, mother, I won't be fooled easily. I know this matter well. It is impossible to go north at this time." of."

Only then did Wei feel relieved, "It should be so, we don't need to pay attention to him, in fact, it's fine if he dies, then he will be clean."

She doesn't mind being a widow anymore. Without her husband, she can get rid of all those concubines. The concubine's children will all go to live in Zhuangzi. She is looking forward to such a new life, um, she is still looking forward to it. The husband was really seriously ill at this time.

Chang Xi, who was holding the letter, went directly to Xie Mansion to see the fourth master.

Master Xie Si had contact with Marquis Wei Wu and knew that this man was a hypocrite, so it was not surprising that he would write such a letter, but it was doubtful that the letter was delivered to Yiyang safely.

At this time, his face darkened, "I will send someone to secretly strengthen the inspection in Yiyang, and the rats cannot be let in at this time."

Chang Xi also meant the same thing. Yiyang can’t be chaotic, let alone fall into the enemy’s hands. After all, his fortune is here. Encourage them to report suspicious persons with a lot of money, and strengthen the protection forces around us, so we can't hold back Zhao Jin at this critical moment."

Mr. Xie Si is Zhao Jin's adoptive father, and she is Zhao Jin's lover. If either of them is taken hostage in the enemy camp, the consequences will be disastrous.

Chang Xi never tried to test human nature, nor did she think about how Zhao Jin would do such a hypothetical question if she was hung on the city wall like the sixth concubine and threatened Zhao Jin. What she should do is to prevent such a thing from happening, To prevent herself from being in danger, she will never give up her wealth and life easily.

Master Xie Si took a deep look at Chang Xi, then nodded, expressing his agreement with her suggestion, "The Xie family will take the lead in this matter."

Chang Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with Xie's local snake taking the lead, many things will be solved easily.

Master Xie Si pondered for a while, and then asked carefully, "Where do you think your father is from?"

Chang Xi sneered, "If the letter can be sent out of the capital, where does Lord Xie Si think he is from?"

The sixth prince and General Duan are besieging the capital. Are they friendly people?They must be responsible for letting the letter reach Yiyang.

Master Xie Si instantly understood that Marquis Wei Wu had always belonged to the sixth prince.

At this time, the capital was already in chaos, and the Empress Dowager Zheng was in a hurry, and the battle was tense every day. She was so worried that she couldn't sleep day and night, and she didn't even have the strength to yell at the rebellious officials and thieves.

Emperor Chongde was with the empress, and the couple were also in constant fear, fearing that after the army invaded, would they still have a way out?
"No, I don't have to escape, I can't stay in the imperial city anymore, otherwise everyone will die together." Emperor Chongde clenched his fist and said.

"Your Majesty, do you mean to escape?" the queen asked softly, for fear that the loud noise would attract outsiders.

Emperor Chongde nodded, "Go and clean up the things, bring your children and become ordinary people, and then escape from the capital while taking advantage of the chaos..."

"What about the queen mother?"

When mentioning Empress Dowager Zheng, Emperor Chongde's face was clouded, obviously he hated his mother extremely in his heart, "Don't worry about her, doesn't she trust her lover? Let her lover take care of her."

When the queen heard this, she stopped asking immediately, and she also hated the mother-in-law, Queen Mother Zheng, so naturally she didn't want to take her to escape.

The capital is in chaos if it is said to be chaotic. Marquis Mighty Wu joined forces with a group of nobles to open the city gate to welcome the sixth prince into the city. The remaining resistance forces were quickly wiped out by General Duan. The goal of the sixth prince was Emperor Chongde. He must catch this brother who killed the king and father, so as to pay homage to the spirit of the father in heaven.

As he rushed to the palace, the first one to stop him from fleeing was the Queen Mother Zheng. The former Concubine Zheng was inconspicuous. When he thought of the death of his father, he became furious. He stabbed to death the Queen Mother Zheng who wanted to beg for mercy. Seeing the blood splattered on the palace wall, he felt the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart released, and he felt much better.

So he raised his sword and continued walking on the palace road, killing anyone who fled in a hurry, but he didn't find Lao Qi, the traitor and traitor, while the women in the harem knelt down tremblingly and begged for mercy. That's why he didn't go on a killing spree.

Realizing that Lao Qi might have fled with his wife and children turned into civilians, he turned around and asked people to close the city gates, and then searched the city to capture Lao Qi.

When Emperor Chongde fled to the city gate with his wife, children and the last loyal guards, he was happy to escape, but he didn't know that the city gate was closed suddenly, and they were among the people who could not escape from the capital, and were pushed and shoved by the officers and soldiers. He rushed to the city, obviously to check his identity.

His face turned ashen immediately, is the sixth son planning to let him go?
Empress, the former Seventh Prince and Concubine also clutched her husband's sleeve tightly in fear, what should I do now?
The sixth prince sat on the dragon chair he had dreamed of, and before he had time to feel what it was like, he heard his subordinates rushing to report that they had captured Emperor Chongde's family and were now being escorted to the palace.

He jumped up suddenly, his face darkened, well, finally he can settle the old score with Lao Qi, thinking of his wife and children who were shot to death by his father-in-law, he put this account on Lao Qi's head, so as not to torture him Death can hardly dispel the hatred in his heart.

It's a pity that his idea was stopped by General Duan who rushed over.

"Yue Zhang, why are you doing this?"

General Duan was not at all frightened by the Seventh Prince's roar, but said calmly, "Now is not the time to execute him, Your Highness need not be so anxious, the most important thing now is to defend the capital, the eldest grandson is the tough opponent."

His fear of Zhao Jin is getting deeper and deeper, not to mention that Zhao Jin has enough troops and sufficient food and grass. Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle, let alone a well-trained army?

Therefore, he scoffed at the sixth prince's behavior of only caring about personal grievances. If this person was not worth using, he would have kicked him long ago. Wouldn't it be nice to sit on the throne by himself?
At this time, he also looked at the dragon chair eagerly.
