Zheshu

Chapter 73
In the imperial study room, Ji Yun's complexion became ugly little by little, and the people who talked back and forth saw it, and they also held their breath and concentrated, and they didn't dare to move even a little bit before he got orders.

Ji Yun was silent for a long time, before finally speaking: "How did the tenth princess escape, please explain it to me carefully!"

Now that the princess of Nanzhao was robbed by bandits in the territory of Great Wei, and now another ten princess disappeared, if there is no one to control it, he would not believe it.

The little eunuch who was talking back and forth was trembling, looked up at Ji Yun, and said: "I don't know why the tenth princess disappeared. This morning, the servants are all waiting outside the palace. Going down to rest, she wanted to be alone for a while, the servants didn't dare to resist, they all retreated, but when it was time to pass lunch, she didn't see any movement inside, so she went in and took a look, only to find out There's no one in there."

Ji Yun's face was dark, so Ji Wei knew about it.I saw that she used to raise her face before, but later thought she had a long memory, but now it seems that she is still bold and does not take him, the emperor, seriously.

"Come on, go after the tenth princess immediately. After you find it, don't need to say anything, just bring it back to me!" Ji Yun lost his temper, and the people below went to spread the word without daring to delay.

Eunuch Lin followed, a little worried: "Tomorrow is the day of getting married, and also the day of departure for the princess. If no one is found, even though Nanzhao is a small country, Great Wei will inevitably be accused of not keeping promises. Your majesty, this What can I do?"

Ji Yun was also annoyed, the first emperor gave birth to a few sons, the princess married early, and the rest were either too young or too useless.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. If you really can't find anyone, you can seal the princess and marry her." Ji Yun said, then turned around and sat down. He has nothing to do now.He has been fighting abroad for so many years, and he has not actually participated in much in the court affairs. Although he has been paying attention, he still lacks some experience.

Eunuch Lin hesitated to speak, Ji Yun looked at him and frowned: "Since you were promoted by me personally, I will treat you as someone who can be used. If you have something to say, don't hide it. Take your head off."

"Yes." When Eunuch Lin got the words, he quickly lowered his head and said, "I just thought that the Empress Dowager should have some experience in these things. Now that something like this has happened, why don't the emperor go and ask?"

Ji Yun was sent to the desert when he thought about it, the first prince who was sentenced to death, his face darkened, and he couldn't pull this face off: "That's all."

Now that the sunset was approaching, Ji Yun suddenly remembered what Concubine Lin Miaoyue had specially said in the Imperial Garden, that Princess Chu and her youngest son were invited into the palace today.

The corner of his mouth raised slightly: "Send a letter to Ji Wuhuan, Princess Chu misses the tenth princess, and plans to stay in the palace until the tenth princess returns, so that he doesn't have to wait."

Eunuch Lin held onto Fuchen's hand tightly. Although he was the master, he still wanted to say something: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Chu is cold-tempered, and has always been indifferent. would annoy him."

Hearing this, Ji Yun became more and more annoyed: "Could it be that I'm afraid of him, a powerless little king of Chu?" In fact, Ji Yun knew whether he was afraid or not, but he just didn't want to admit it.Ji Wuhuan's achievements in battle are illustrious and he is hailed as the god of war, but he is not bad either. He has been fighting in the north and south for so many years, isn't he also winning consecutive battles.

Eunuch Lin knew that he was in a dead end, so he didn't dare to mention it again, so he went out to deliver the message, but when he finished the message and saw Ji Wuhuan's face darken, he sighed silently in his heart.

Shen Qing was in the Concubine Xian's Palace, An An was hungry once during the journey, so she let the nanny and two maids accompany her to the side room to feed her, and then fell asleep peacefully.

Lin Miaoyue has been staring at the child. The child of Shen Qing and Ji Wuhuan is naturally not bad in appearance. It is carved in powder and jade, just like the little boy next to the Guanyin Empress. It's a pity, no matter how cute it is, He is also Shen Qing's son...

It was getting late outside, Shen Qing wanted to get up and say goodbye, sitting here left and right, Lin Miaoyue didn't talk to her at all, just thinking about her own affairs, but when she stood up several times, Lin Miaoyue gave her an excuse to stay with her more. Press it down, this time, there is no excuse.

"It's getting late, and the concubine will leave first." Shen Qing took the child to leave, Lin Miaoyue looked at the nurse beside her, who nodded, and then she smiled and said: "Why is Princess Chu so anxious, The dinner in the small kitchen has been prepared, you should eat dinner with this concubine before leaving."

Shen Qing raised her eyes and looked at her with a chuckle: "Thank you for your kindness, but An An bought a rabbit these two days and kept it in a cage. Normally, she is not allowed to open the cage without my order. If I don't go back now, The little rabbit is dead, and An An will cry with me when she turns around, and I hope my mother will allow it."

Lin Miaoyue gritted her teeth secretly, An'an was only two months old, how could she know how to play with rabbits?She is threatening her parents.

After Lin Miaoyue knew Shen Qing's real identity, she did not dare to gamble with her parents, she stared at her for a while, and was about to let her go, when news came from outside that the emperor had come.

Shen Qing didn't panic as she expected, but calmly stood up straight, and looked up at her almost indifferently: "It seems that those two little rabbits are going to die."

Lin Miaoyue gritted her teeth even more when she heard this blatant threat, looked at the baby in the nurse's arms, and said: "If that's the case, why don't you let the baby go back to the house first, or let the rabbit out first."

"Thank you for your empathy." Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and looked back at the maid and the nanny: "You take An An out of the palace first, the prince is already waiting in front of the palace gate at this moment, you just take what you just said Let’s tell the prince together.”

The nanny's eyes flickered, she nodded again and again, and Shen Qing promised the two maids to go out with the nanny.

When Ji Yun came in, she happened to pass by the child, and when she got inside, she realized that the child belonged to Shen Qing, and she immediately annoyed Lin Miaoyue.

However, looking at the woman standing in the hall, she wore a bright red wide-sleeved floral dress, a simple snail bun, and two gold step rocks, her face was not powdered, but her face looked more and more delicate, as if she had just The shelled eggs were mediocre.Moreover, a woman who has undergone human affairs is like a ripe peach, always full of charm.

"Princess Chu is really interested in being able to come to talk with Concubine Ai today." Ji Yun said in a nonchalant manner.

Shen Qing just lowered her eyebrows and didn't say much to him.Knowing their wolf ambitions, all the politeness is superfluous in Shen Qing's view.

Seeing her like this, Ji Yun raised the corners of her lips, only Ji Wuhuan liked such a bold woman.Bold and flamboyant, how can it compare to Xiaojiabiyu's obedient and obedient.

"Concubine Chu can stay in the palace with peace of mind today. There are still several vacant rooms in Concubine Xian's palace. I will clean up one room for you to live in later." Ji Yun stared at her swollen chest, feeling a little dreamy for a moment. , I don't know what kind of beautiful scenery it should be under the clothes.

When Shen Qing saw his dim eyes, she felt bad, let alone let him live in the palace of her favorite concubine.

She raised her eyes to look at Ji Yun, and said indifferently: "Historically, there is no such thing as a minister's wife living in the imperial concubine's palace. The minister does not want the emperor to be criticized by the world because of himself. Forgive the minister and concubine to resign and leave the palace before sunset."

As soon as Shen Qing said this, even if Ji Yundang turned blue, she became bolder. She was accusing herself of disregarding the emperor's face and wanting to treat her lightly. However, if she is not Ji Wuhuan's wife, he can think of other things way...

"Princess Chu is worrying too much. The emperor just thinks that you are close to my concubine. If Princess Chu is unwilling, I will arrange another residence." Lin Miaoyue said in time.

Ji Yun looked at Lin Miaoyue, her eyes deepened.

Shen Qing doesn't mind their husband and wife singing together, but she is absolutely not allowed to stay in this palace.

Just as she was about to take out the late emperor's gold medal for avoiding death, the maid who had sent the message came in again: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager ordered that Princess Chu go to the Empress Dowager's palace to have a talk."

Lin Miaoyue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, but Ji Yun rolled her eyes sullenly: "The Empress Dowager and Concubine Chu have never been close, how could they be summoned at this time? Now that the past has passed, won't it disturb the Empress Dowager's purity?"

The court lady lowered her head and didn't know, but the Queen Mother had issued an order. No matter how much Ji Yun disliked the titular queen mother, he would not dare to disobey her openly until she did nothing wrong, but he said: "Xian The concubine also has something to say to Princess Chu, if the Queen Mother finishes talking, Princess Chu remembers to come over."

Shen Qing also didn't know what the Queen Mother was planning, she just bowed her head in agreement, then turned her head and left.

All the way to the corner, the sharp gaze finally disappeared.

"Princess, don't be afraid." Just as Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, the maid from the Empress Dowager's Palace suddenly said.

Shen Qing looked puzzled, but the maid only lowered her head and said quickly: "It's the prince."

Shen Qing was slightly taken aback, did the prince find a way to let the queen mother pass on his past?

Thinking of this, she quickened her pace again.

Ji Yun snorted coldly after Shen Qing left.

But Lin Miaoyue said from the side: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this palace is still yours, she Shen Qing can't get out. As long as she can't get out, Ji Wuhuan won't dare to act rashly..."

"You released her son from the palace just now?" Ji Yun stared at Lin Miaoyue coldly. With Ji Wuhuan's wife and children in his hands, he was more at ease, but this woman who made up her mind changed her mind on the contrary. .

Lin Miaoyue's complexion was slightly pale: "The emperor... the concubine is..."

'hiss--'

Before she finished speaking, Ji Yun raised her hand and tore off her clothes, exposing her white and tender shoulders, all the maids and nuns in the palace lowered their heads and did not dare to look.

Lin Miaoyue's face turned pale, Ji Yun is like this now, it's not a favor, it's just treating her like a prostitute in the Goulan courtyard and belittle her.

"Your Majesty..." Even though Lin Miaoyue had scheming plans, she was just a girl who had just entered the palace. Her lips trembled slightly, but in Ji Yun's eyes, her lips seemed to be as bright red and full as Shen Qing's just now. It is open, slightly open, as if waiting for someone to pick it.

There are also her half-exposed fragrant shoulders, her whiteness is as stagnant, and the torn clothes are falling down, accompanied by the beauty of the violent ups and downs of breathing, all of which made the charming redness just now appear in his mind.

He immediately waved away all the servants, threw her directly on the soft couch, turned over and bullied her.

The news in Concubine Xian's Palace spread like wildfire, Shen Qing just arrived in the Empress Dowager's Palace, when she heard the palace servants reporting the matter to the Empress Dowager, seeing her coming, she hurriedly stopped talking.

Shen Qing lowered her eyes, pretending she didn't hear, but she was secretly afraid in her heart.

It was not the first time the Empress Dowager and Shen Qing met, but the last time they met was not pleasant at all.

With a cold face, the Empress Dowager waved back the palace servants, without being too polite, she said directly: "The emperor has been rescued by you many times, so I am willing to help you this time."

The Empress Dowager's words were very cold, and she couldn't hear much gratitude. Shen Qing thought that Wuhuan must have exchanged something else, so she just said: "Thank you, Empress Dowager."

The empress dowager's mouth was tightly pursed, looking at the woman who looked like a delicate flower below, she couldn't tell what she felt, and said after a while: "Let's go out of the palace while it's now."

"But the emperor ordered that the concubine return to the palace of the concubine Xian later." Shen Qing said.

"This palace will handle it." After finishing speaking, he asked someone to send her away, as if he didn't want to knock her any more.

When Shen Qing left, she raised her eyes and looked at her. She was dressed in luxurious palace robes, her hair was combed meticulously, but her face was cold and hard, with the corners of her eyes and mouth drooping. She looked serious and sharp, but since the eldest prince disappeared, The domineering spirit on her body seems to have lost a lot, no matter where she sits, there is only an empty shell left.

The Queen Mother is also old.

Before Shen Qing left the palace, she had been worried that Ji Yun would end up suddenly, so she thought of looking for her, so she kept walking forward at a faster pace, because she met many palace people who tried to stop her on the way, until she left the palace. Looking at the carriage of Prince Chu's Mansion still waiting outside the palace gate, the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Ji Wuhuan heard the sound, handed the sleeping child to the nanny, got out of the carriage, smiled at the woman in red in front of her, her eyes were black and bright, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, showing her good mood, and said with a slight smile :"go home."

"Okay." For the first time, Shen Qing felt how happy it was to have someone who could protect her and love her by her side.

After getting into the carriage, because there was still a nanny and the child, few people said a few words along the way, until the carriage stopped suddenly, Ji Wuhuan got out of the carriage first, picked up Shen Qing and the child, and said: " We will not go back to the palace tonight."

Shen Qing turned her head, and they seemed to be outside the city, no wonder the carriage had been running for so long.

Ji Wuhuan asked Yuan Ye to drive the carriage back to the city again, and then led a few people around a dense forest in front. A large blue-gray carriage was already waiting, and Di Yun and Suqiu got in together. out.

Seeing that Shen Qing and An An are fine, Su Qiu's eyes were red: "Thank God."

Di Yun admired Ji Wuhuan, so when he was sent by Shen Qing, he was willing to report some things to Ji Wuhuan.

After exchanging a few simple greetings, they hurried into the carriage again.

There was another jolt, and it took about half an hour before the carriage finally stopped.

When Shen Qing got out of the carriage, she saw a house similar to an ordinary Zhuangzi, with the name Wuming Mansion written on the door, and an old man stood by the door.

"This is pre-ordered. When I return to Beijing occasionally and don't want to go to the Sumu Palace, I will come here." Ji Wuhuan seemed to explain, and walked in the door holding Shen Qing's hand.

After entering the inside, it is still very simple and clean. It is neither as luxurious as the previous solemn mansion, nor as elegant and noble as the Chu Palace, but it is better than the quiet and elegant. The ordinary three-entry courtyard, Shen Qing's courtyard is at the innermost. There are a lot of flowers and plants planted in it, and I think it used to live there.

After entering the room, Ji Wuhuan briefly explained why the Queen Mother was willing to help.

"Was Ji Wei released from the palace by the Queen Mother?" Sitting on the soft couch, Shen Qing was a little surprised.

Ji Wuhuan watched her silently take ice cubes and put them in the tea, exchanged her cup of tea for himself, and poured her another cup of warm tea before continuing: "Ji Wei is not an Ann She is divided, and she has always been convinced that Xuanyuanli wanted to kill her before, so how can she marry and get married now? Naturally, she has no reason to stay if the Queen Mother benefits a little."

Shen Qing silently picked up the warm tea and drank it, then said with a slight smile: "When I met the Queen Mother today, she still looks so fierce, but I don't know what I'm fighting for." The eldest prince has already left, and she just won the battle , who can I give it to?At the beginning, she did train the fourth prince, but she would only be willing to hand over the country to him if the eldest prince died.

Ji Wuhuan looked up at her ruddy and plump lips, which had just been soaked in tea, and an evil fire suddenly sprang up in her body, so she stepped forward and hugged her horizontally: "The queen mother has fought for her whole life, not only for the throne, but also for the throne. She has been ridiculed by others for so many years."

Seeing him hugging herself into the room, Shen Qing blushed and reproached, "My lord, we haven't finished discussing the business yet."

"What I'm going to do now is also a business, and it's imminent. I can't delay for a moment." Ji Wuhuan stared at her flushed face, and saw that her eyes were as clear as water, and when she was shy, the voice It is even more tactful like a kitten's cry, which makes people burn.

Listening to his blunt words, Shen Qing only felt that her ears were hot, and then she couldn't wait to bear his impatience.

Suqiu came over to serve her, walked to the door, and saw the little girl blushing outside holding the washing utensils, she held her breath and listened intently, what else could there be in that delicate voice?
She hadn't gone through any human affairs either, and she was also a little bit shy, but said softly, "Come back later."

Only then did the maid come back to her senses, and fled away as if flying. When she was leaving, she accidentally kicked the flower pot by the door and let out a soft cry, Su Qiu hurriedly asked her to stop her voice.

Hearing Suqiu's voice outside, Shen Qing knew that their voices were too loud, so she couldn't help being more shy, but Ji Wuhuan seemed to be unaware of it, and rushed over more intensely.

After some flirting, Ji Wuhuan covered her with a thin quilt, and then held her in his arms, breathing steadily.

Shen Qing quietly turned to her side, thinking that he was asleep, but unexpectedly she looked over, and he was looking straight at herself, and couldn't help remembering her appearance just now, and suddenly closed her eyes.

The corners of Ji Wuhuan's mouth raised slightly, and he raised his hand to caress her face: "Stay at home and wait for me tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Shen Qing stepped back shyly when she heard the words, but she was deeply worried. Tomorrow is the day of getting married, but now the Nanzhao Princess is missing, and the Great Wei and the princess are missing again. So, Nanzhao The imperial edict had an excuse for rioting.

"Nanzhao, according to the news from Xia Rao, Xuanyuanli seems to have borrowed a lot of soldiers, but it's not Dayan's." Shen Qing said.

Ji Wuhuan nodded: "Xuanyuanli will not act rashly for the time being, but Ji Yun will have to tear his face apart tomorrow, and I will wait for him to do it first."

"Why?" Ji Yunruo tore his face, the only downside was that he was charged with making trouble first.

Ji Wuhuan nodded her little head: "Guess?"

Shen Qing wanted to laugh when she saw that he was trying to play tricks. If it were a year ago, he would have dragged him to the yard to punish him because he had a wrong look in his eyes.

"I don't know, my lord just tell me." Shen Qing looked at him with a smile.

Ji Wuhuan looked at her laziness, and felt even more cute, and the softness of her against his body...

Ji Wuhuan only felt that there was a lot of unburned fire hidden in her body, but she was the spark that ignited the fire, and she would start a prairie fire with the slightest movement.

Suqiu waited outside for a while, seeing the swaying sound inside again, she couldn't help worrying about sinking Shen Qing's waist, but she still pursed her lips and smiled lightly.

He just walked around the corner and bumped into Di Yun who was coming. Seeing her face flushed, Di Yun asked with a light smile, "What's wrong?"

Su Qiu smiled: "Nothing."

The moonlight was perfect today, Di Yun looked at her, she hadn't changed at all, she was still as beautiful as before.

"Suqiu, let's get married when things are over." Di Yun didn't expect to speak at this time, but at this moment, the moon is good, the wind is good, and the people are good.

Su Qiu's face was flushed, and she looked down at her crippled leg again, and said in a low voice, "I'm already crippled..."

"No matter what happens to your body, you are the one I always want to marry." Di Yun couldn't bear it, and raised his hand to hold her hand in his palm.

Feeling the heat of his palm, Suqiu looked up at his sincere and shining eyes, with moisture welling up in her eyes, she pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

The small courtyard was quiet and warm at night, even the little An'an felt it, and slept very peacefully.

The wind at night at the end of August brought a bit of coolness, and it came in through the window, taking away all the irritability and stuffiness in people's bodies.

The rows of unknown flowers planted in the yard also released their unique fragrance. Shen Qing listened to the even breathing of the person behind him, felt the warm breath of his body, raised her lips slightly, and put her arms around him. With the arms around his waist, he fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know how long it took, it was still pitch black outside, but Ji Wuhuan had already opened his eyes, looking at the woman in his arms, his brows stretched, his lips seemed to be filled with a satisfied smile, he gently pulled out his arms, slowly Putting a kiss on her face, she got up and put on her clothes.

Mingyue was about to disappear. Before Ji Wuhuan left, she looked back to make sure she was not awake. Then she went out and went to see An An again, but An An seemed to know that her father would come. When the nanny was in a hurry to light the candles, he was already waving his chubby hands with his black eyes open, and he was babbling without knowing what to say.

Ji Wuhuan felt another piece of softness in her heart: "Daddy goes out, can An An protect mother for Daddy?"

An An babbled and smiled at him, Ji Wuhuan happily stepped forward to pick him up and teased him for a while, then went out.

Yuan Ye had already been waiting in front of the door, behind him were three hundred attendants brought from the palace.

"Master." Yuan Ye's eyes flickered slightly, looking at Ji Wuhuan, who looked like a warm and gentle young man just now, but now he is so cold that people dare not approach him.But it's true, Ji Wuhuan's face is not as rough as that of ordinary generals, but has soft lines. If it weren't for the sharpness, ordinary soldiers would be frightened just by hearing his reputation.

"Protect the princess." After Ji Wuhuan finished explaining, she turned her head and glanced at the still sleeping Wuming Mansion, got on the horse, her face tightened slightly, she reined in the reins, and left by night.Go now, just in time to open the city gate and go to the morning court!

Knowing that Ji Wuhuan had left, Suqiu got up to look at Shen Qing, she was already sitting up.

"Princess, don't worry, Di Yun has also left to prepare, and nothing will happen." Su Qiu comforted.

"If the news sent back by Xia Rao is correct, Xuanyuanli's defenders should be ready to go at this moment. If the marriage fails tomorrow, it will be the beginning of bloodshed." If the goal of the marriage is not achieved, tomorrow People from Nanzhao who came to see off their relatives were either killed or murdered.Ji Yun wanted to annex the little Nanzhao, but Xuanyuanli was dissatisfied with being subjugated forever. Now both of them are new emperors, and they are eager to prove themselves and make contributions.

Su Qiu sighed softly in her heart, but her complexion remained unchanged, she only comforted: "Take a break."

"What about An An?"

"It's at the nanny's place." Suqiu said.

Shen Qing smiled lightly: "Bring the child here, we won't be able to go out tomorrow, so we can just get close to him."

Suqiu knew that the child was somewhat comforting at the moment, so she turned her head away.

An An happened to wake up too, and when he saw his mother, he became happier. Xiao Pang held a small toy tightly in his hand and waved it around. His fat body twisted and twisted in the nurse's arms. The smell suddenly calmed down.

Shen Qing played with him for a while, then fell asleep with her arms around her.

The sky is gradually brightening, and the atmosphere in the capital is slowly dropping to freezing point. Many officials who still have a little family background have quietly sent their sons and parents to the countryside. They didn't dare to make too much publicity, so they left their wives and daughters in the capital. , Only said to the outside world that something happened at home.

This matter naturally reached Ji Yun's ears. He knew that something was wrong after he knew that Shen Qing had been picked up by Ji Wuhuan and that there was no one in Chu Palace last night.

In the court hall, looking at the courtiers who were chattering, Ji Yun could only look at Ji Wuhuan who had been standing on one side without saying a word.

"What is the king's opinion?"

Ji Yun opened his mouth suddenly, and there was an instant silence.

But what can I do now?The promised marriage between the two countries, the princess who came to make the marriage was lost in Da Wei, and has not been seen until now, and the ten princesses who went to make the marriage are also gone, the news spread somehow, no matter who heard it, they would think it was Da Wei Doing something.

"I don't know." Ji Wuhuan stepped forward, he knew Xuanyuanli's ambition, so the only way was to fight, but if he said this, Ji Yun would let him fight if he didn't keep it safe, but Ji Yun didn't trust him , will not give him military power, if he goes out to fight, he will die without a doubt.

He used to be able to fight on the battlefield for the people of Great Wei, and now he is willing, but he has a son and a wife, so he has to worry more.

Seeing that he had conceded defeat, Ji Yun's face darkened slightly: "The King of Chu used to be the God of War in the Great Wei Dynasty, why don't you know now?"

"The Great Wei God of War is just a fallacy. Hasn't the emperor already taken back all the military power? Now in the Imperial Academy, I feel more comfortable, and I am afraid that I will bear the name of the God of War."

All the ministers looked at Ji Wuhuan, terribly calm, even though everyone seemed to be anxious, but he still seemed to be taking a walk in the courtyard, saying that it would be good to be a Hanlin.

Eunuch Lin looked at Ji Yun from the side, clenched his fists tightly, as if he was about to go down and beat someone up in the next second.

Ji Rui looked at Ji Wuhuan from the side, with the corners of his mouth raised high. Among so many princes, the one who resembles his father the most is actually the fourth prince. Wuhuan, perhaps it was the empress's upbringing for so many years that made him too petty. If he said who is the most suitable to be the emperor, he thinks only Ji Wuhuan is the most suitable.

The early court broke up unhappy, but because the Nanzhao mission group had to enter the palace even if they disappeared to marry the princess, so that they could find the princess properly and send them in again, so that the marriage could be completed.It's just that the marriage bridal team that Dawei wanted to send out could only be Ji Yun temporarily conferring the daughter of a prince's family as a princess and marrying her in a hurry, but they all knew that this wedding bridal team would not be able to reach Nanzhao.

When people from Nanzhao came, there would naturally be a palace banquet.

The palace banquet was arranged in the Taiji Hall, with long tables set up on both sides, the emperor's on top, accompanied by Concubine Xian and another beautiful woman brought up, but Concubine Xian's complexion was obviously not very good, her eyes were slightly swollen , apply a thick powder to cover it up.

Ji Wuhuan was arranged at the bottom left, and it was actually in the place of several other emperor's relatives. It was rumored that Ji Wuhuan was the late emperor's illegitimate son. Now everyone believed it a little bit, and bowed their heads to discuss up.

Ji Rui sat beside Ji Wuhuan, and upon hearing this, he said coldly: "My lords are so idle, why don't you use your brains that have been idle for a long time, and think about how to deal with the next thing? That's it, too. So as to share the worries of the emperor."

When everyone heard Ji Rui's words, was he calling them all stupid?But even so, he had to keep his mouth shut. Who let this ominous prince get such favor during the last period of the first emperor?

Ji Rui glanced at them, turned to look at Ji Wuhuan, but found that he didn't seem to hear him at all, sitting silently, without saying a word, his eyes drifted away, as if he was thinking about other things.

Not long after, accompanied by the eunuch's sharp singing, more than twenty representatives of Nanzhao's marriage came outside.

Ji Yun said a few polite words as usual, but unexpectedly the major general in charge suddenly looked up at Ji Yun, and said with a smile: "I don't know how the emperor plans to deal with this matter? Nanzhao is a small country, but there are no people who came to marry you. The person who was sent by the country to be married was also temporarily replaced by a fake princess, is it possible that Dawei wants to humiliate my king with this?"

"Presumptuous!" The major general who called Sun Ke had just finished speaking, and the minister next to him shouted, "What place do you think this is? If you don't show respect to the emperor, you dare to question him. What do you want to do?"

This Sun Ke is not an ordinary young general. He has fought countless battles with the king of Dongyang County, and many battles with Mongolia in the north. He has also won countless battles, but he has never fought against Ji Wuhuan. Ji Wuhuan didn't take it seriously, let alone Ji Yun, who was not as good as Ji Wuhuan.

He glanced lightly at the minister's swollen belly, raised the corners of his lips in a sneer, and raised his clear eyebrows: "What does your lord mean, that you admit that the emperor of your country is going to fight Nanzhao with me?"

"When did I say that?"

"Then when did I say disrespect to the emperor?" Sun Ke retorted back, the minister blushed and turned his tongue for a long time, but didn't say a word.

Ji Yun's face darkened, but now she looked at Sun Ke with the posture of a big country: "My great Wei Wuhua Tianbao, the princess first came, maybe I think it's new, I don't know if I ran out to play, if I find it, I will automatically enter the palace. As for the fake princess you mentioned, I have already performed the canonization ceremony..."

"Your Majesty, I still know that the canonized ones are not the descendants of the dragon and the phoenix." Sun Ke looked provocative. After finishing speaking perfunctorily, he looked at the banquet and said with a smile: "This banquet will wait for the princess Find it and do it."

Ji Yun's eyes were stained with murderous intent. In fact, he would not hold this banquet if he said he would not do it!
"If the princess finds it, I will confer it on my own, so I don't need you to worry about it." After finishing speaking, he looked at the newly promoted commander of the Imperial Guard who had already been waiting on the side.

This new commander was also with Ji Yun, and he was Qin Zhao's cousin, named Bandit Qin. His tall and strong figure fit his name, and he stood a few steps up to Sun Ke, who was also strong but thin. In front of him, it was like a mountain blocking him: "Please."

Bandit Qin's attitude was not too polite, but Sun Ke didn't care too much. He glanced at Ji Wuhuan who was sitting in a corner without saying a word. It is not too difficult to attack Wei.Looking at the various masters hidden around Ji Yun, Sun Ke raised his eyebrows slightly, but turned his head and left.

As soon as Sun Ke left, Ji Yun immediately ordered people to treat the visitor seriously, but according to the rules, these people still had to arrange to live in the palace on the first night.

"The banquet continues!" After Ji Yun finished speaking, he said to everyone.

The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, but they couldn't help but want to leave the palace as soon as possible. Most of them were worried about Ji Yun's moodiness, and the other part was keen because they knew what would happen in the palace tonight.

Today, the sun is hiding behind the thick clouds, the temperature has dropped suddenly, and the wind has picked up, as if there will be heavy rain soon.

Shen Qing was sitting on the porch with An An in his arms. He had just been fed by the nanny, and now he was also sleepy, so someone took the cradle and put it on the side, and slowly rocked it until he was finally tired and closed the cradle. Those big eyes.

"It's almost night." Shen Qing looked at the gradually darkening sky and said.

"Yes." Suqiu looked at the yard, the wind blowing at the moment blew away the sweltering heat, and even the cicadas in the forest seemed to have stopped, only the greenery everywhere and the flower garden were blooming tenderly Small flowers, red and green, make people feel more comfortable.

Yuan Ye didn't go there today, but just stood guard at the gate of the yard, paying close attention to the movement around him, holding it fiercely, not daring to let go, until someone sent the news, then he frowned and turned around. head to the house.

"Princess, something happened." Yuan Ye whispered.

Shen Qing still couldn't let go of her heart, so she turned her head and asked the nanny to take An An back to the room first, and then asked, "What's the matter?"

"Ning Guogong and his wife were killed." Yuan Ye frowned.

Shen Qing went to see Suqiu, and Suqiu obviously didn't believe it; "Ningguo's mansion was captured by our people, and it was locked in a small courtyard in the capital. How could it be killed?"

"I don't know." Yuan Ye shook his head.

Shen Qing looked at Suqiu, Suqiu was also a little anxious, Ning Guogong and his wife were really helpless, so they were arrested and used to blackmail Concubine Xian, and now they were killed, Concubine Xian would have to blame the crime on Wangfei.

"Princess, I'm going to have a look now."

"No need, Lin Miaoyue won't believe it even if I go to investigate now." Shen Qing calmed down a little: "This time it's not for Lin Miaoyue, maybe Ji Wuyou did it, and Yuan Ye , you arrange someone to go to the vicinity of Yingfu Building to see, and don't let Zhang Xiaofang be taken away."

Yuan Ye nodded, and immediately went down to arrange people.

Just as he was talking, news came from Di Yun.

After reading the words on the paper, Suqiu's complexion became darker: "The news says that Xuanyuanli is no longer in Nanzhao."

Shen Qing looked at the tender grass in the yard that was blown by the wind and had to bend down, and her heart sank: "Where is he?"

"I don't know." Su Qiu saw that there was no more information on the note, she just shook her head, and guessed again: "Could it be Nanzhao?" She wanted to guess if Xuanyuanli came to arrest Shen Qing , but he could kill her with a knife for the sake of power, so it is absolutely impossible for him to come here now.

"Nanzhao faces Wei on one side, Yan on the other side, and Mongolia on the back. There are many elite Mongolian soldiers, but for so many years, because Nanzhao has been separated in the middle, they have never invaded Wei rashly, but Xuanyuanli Since he did not borrow soldiers from Dayan, would he plan to attack Mongol? If Mongol learned that he could lead troops through Nanzhao territory, he would be very happy...

"This news, think of a way to send it to the prince." Shen Qing looked at the sky, and then at Yuan Ye who ran back with a serious expression, thinking, there is no need to spread this news.

Yuan Ye looked at Shen Qing standing on the porch, standing upright, with black hair and red clothes, eyes like lacquer, this aura is more and more like a prince.

He took a few steps forward, bowed his head and said, "There is movement in the palace."

"Have you started?"

"Let's do it." Yuan Ye was surprised that she knew all about it, presumably it was the prince who told her.

Shen Qing didn't say much, she turned her head to look at the room where An An slept, and calmly went to the flower hall: "Let's pass on the dinner."

"Don't wait for the prince?" Yuan Ye covered his mouth after asking, the princess must be more worried about the prince than himself at the moment.

Shen Qing smiled faintly: "Let the kitchen prepare it for him and keep it warm. If the prince comes back at night, he can still have some hot food."

"Yes." Yuan also hurried down.

Shen Qing forced herself not to think too much, and waited for Ji Wuhuan to come back with peace of mind, but at the moment, the palace is indeed in chaos, Sun Ke is only accompanied by 20 people, but there are still many people hiding in the capital, and rumors spread, Who would believe that a few lonely people from Nanzhao dared to do it in the palace?Naturally, it was the Emperor of Wei who bullied others. He not only humiliated the King of Nanzhao with his marriage, but now also provoked disputes with cruel means. Therefore, that night, the king of Dongyang County, who had been stationed on the border of the Great Wei for a long time, quickly launched an offensive. Unprepared, the important pass Muyang City was lost.

The flames of war ignited.
