After divorcing my ex-husband, I became the princess of the county

Late at night, seeing that Emperor Jing Yuan had fallen asleep, Concubine Hui came out of the Tai Chi Hall and returned to her bedroom.

Concubine Hui asked her confidant at the side, "Is there a letter from Shanyin?"

The maid handed a letter to Concubine Hui with both hands and said, "Your Majesty, the letter just arrived."

Concubine Hui coughed lightly, took the letter from the maid, held up the teacup beside her and smiled softly, Concubine Shu had unintentionally done her a big favor this time.

……

Lu Wanzhi and Zhao Heng drove on horseback day and night.

But Shanyin and Chang'an are far away, they only eat and rest for only three hours a day, and change to a thousand-mile BMW at the post station, even if it is like this, it took almost half a month to arrive at Chang'an City.

During this journey, Lu Wanzhi was fine, but brother Xiaodu was on the road day and night, and he was extremely haggard.

After entering the city gate, Lu Wanzhi saw that the King of Chu and Zhao Heng were going to the palace in a hurry, so she persuaded: "Father, Zhao Heng, it's not a moment to see Your Majesty, we are traveling all the way, and we are dressed in rags. Yes, it's better to go back to the mansion and wash up before going to the palace."

Zhao Heng listened to Lu Wanzhi's words and said: "Yes, let's freshen up first, it is indeed inappropriate to go to the palace in this suit."

Zhao Heng washed up in a hurry, changed into the clothes for entering the palace, and said to Lu Wanzhi: "You should wipe your hair slowly first, I will go into the palace to see Uncle Huang."

Hurrying on the way, Lu Wanzhi didn't bring any maids with her, and all the maids left in the palace were miscellaneous maids who had never learned how to serve others, so Lu Wanzhi had to wipe her long hair by herself and said, "Well, wait until my hair dries a little. , I will also enter the palace."

When Zhao Heng walked outside the palace gate, he was stopped by the guards at the palace gate, "The palace is an important place, don't trespass!"

Zhao Heng frowned and said, "I'm almost 22 years old, when will I be blocked from entering the palace?"

Seeing Zhao Heng, the commander of the Imperial Army came over to salute and said, "Little County King? You're back? These guards were newly appointed last year, and they haven't seen you before."

Zhao Heng entered the palace, before he reached Emperor Jing Yuan's bedroom, he heard several court ladies discussing.

"Don't you believe it, the Crown Princess and the Xiaojun King must have some ulterior motives."

Zhao Heng paused, listening to the discussions of the little maids behind the corner.

"It's fine that Princess Heyi looks a little bit like the Xiaojun King, but the current little emperor's grandson and the Xiaojun King are carved out of the same mold. If it's not the son of the Xiaojun King, who would believe it?"

"Where did the Crown Princess have the guts to have an affair with Chu Xiaojun Wang?"

"The appearance of the two children cannot be deceived."

Zhao Heng snorted softly, this Zhao Jue can be regarded as throwing a stone at his own foot, insisting on taking away his own child, is it okay now?In the eyes of others, they have been cuckolded.

Zhao Heng hurried to Emperor Jing Yuan's bedroom. Concubine Shu, who was waiting in the bedroom, was very surprised to see Zhao Heng coming, "Little County King? You are not a county magistrate in Shanyin? Why did you come into the palace? "

Zhao Heng walked up to Emperor Jing Yuan, seeing the pale and weak Emperor Jing Yuan lying on the dragon couch, Zhao Heng knelt down in front of Emperor Jing Yuan and wept, "Uncle Huang."

Emperor Jing Yuan said weakly: "Heng'er, you are the magistrate of Shanyin County, how can you leave the county without authorization? You are so self-willed and still complain that I won't give you a promotion..."

Zhao Heng wiped his tears with the back of his hand and said, "I'm afraid I won't see you for the last time."

Concubine Shu repeatedly said: "Little Duke... It's hard to say such bad luck."

Zhao Heng held Emperor Jing Yuan's hand without any scruples and said: "Uncle Huang, I have no parents since I was a child. You are like my own father. Don't say that you will be dismissed from office if you leave the county without authorization, but you will be beheaded. I I want to see you for the last time too."

Zhao Heng had never seen such a weak Emperor Jing Yuan, "I won't let you miss me before you close your eyes."

Emperor Jing Yuan: "..."

Zhao Heng said: "Although I don't know much about medicine, I can speak very well. I'm willing to trade 30 years of my life for you to live another 30 years..."

Concubine Shu said from the side: "Heng'er is really filial, Heng'er, is your brother Liang Wang back?"

Zhao Heng nodded and said: "I'm back too. Brother Du has worked hard all the way, and he developed a fever when he arrived in Chang'an, so Brother Liang Wang and Yuhe will come back to the palace later."

Emperor Jing Yuan withdrew his hand from Zhao Heng's and said: "Heng'er, I appreciate your filial piety. Now that you are back, let's go and see your imperial grandmother! Your imperial grandmother misses you very much."

Zhao Heng said: "I will spend more time with you, and then go to see the emperor's grandmother."

When Lu Wanzhi entered the palace, it was almost dark, and in the summer of July, the fire in Chang'an filled the sky with golden yellow clouds, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Lu Wanzhi got the notice from the East Palace, so she entered the East Palace, and saw Meng Jingshu hugging a baby in a small bellyband, the baby was whimpering and looking very uncomfortable.

Lu Wanzhi looked at the child in Meng Jingshu's arms, her eyes glistening, her Cheng'er, who she had only met once, was already this big.

It turned out that he didn't look exactly like Brother Yue, Lu Wanzhi always thought that he and Brother Yue would look exactly the same, but it turned out that Cheng'er looked more like Zhao Heng.

Lu Wanzhi concealed her emotions, walked up to Meng Jingshu and said, "Sister Jingshu."

Seeing Lu Wanzhi suddenly appearing in front of her eyes, Meng Jingshu smiled and said, "Wanzhi? Why are you back? Isn't the term of the Xiaojun King nearly two years away?"

Lu Wanzhi said: "Your Majesty is seriously ill. The little county king grew up in front of His Majesty since he was a child, and he wanted to come back to serve His Majesty at the risk of being demoted."

Meng Jingshu coaxed the child in her arms and said: "Your Majesty has been seriously ill this time. It has been almost three months. At first, I thought it was just a small cold. In recent days, I have been vomiting black blood. The imperial doctor said..."

Meng Jingshu leaned close to Lu Wanzhi's ear and said, "It's only a few days away."

Lu Wanzhi was startled when she saw Cheng'er in Meng Jingshu's arms whimpering fiercely, "Is this the little emperor's grandson? It's not much different from my brother Yue, why is it so noisy all the time?"

Meng Jingshu said: "Cheng'er has always been well-behaved. For nearly half a month, he has been crying non-stop, can't sleep well, often whimpers, and the imperial doctor can't diagnose anything. He only said that he was frightened, so he can only let the nanny eat it. Calming medicine."

Lu Wanzhi looked at Meng Jingshu and said, "Sister Jingshu, can you let me hug Cheng'er?"

Meng Jingshu gave the child in her arms to Lu Wanzhi and said, "Of course."

Lu Wanzhi took the baby, restrained the urge to kiss his little face, patted the baby's back lightly and said, "Good boy, don't panic, don't panic."

Under Lu Wanzhi's reassurance, Xiao Chenger gradually stopped moaning, grabbed Lu Wanzhi's sleeve with her small hands, and stared at Lu Wanzhi with her round eyes.

Seeing Cheng'er's eyes, Lu Wanzhi's eyes were full of guilt. This was the second time she hugged him since he was born. She really owed Cheng'er a lot.

Meng Jingshu saw that Lu Wanzhi had coaxed the whimpering baby, and said with a slight smile, "Wanzhi, you are the only one who sees Cheng'er, not to mention that Cheng'er looks exactly like Zhao Heng, anyone else who sees Cheng'er will say One sentence is like Zhao Heng."
