Chapter 352 His Younger (Part [-])
The voice fell, and there was silence.

Concubine Xiao was the first to come back to her senses. With red eyes, she helped Jun Xi up, and said with a sob, "Good boy."

Jun Xi was moved and a little embarrassed, slightly lowered his head and lowered his eyes, but there was still water in his eyes.

Song Qinghuan pursed her lips and smiled, and raised her glass first, feeling a surge of emotion in her heart, "Come, let's toast to our long-lost reunion!"

The other three raised their glasses and clinked together, their eyes and brows filled with smiles, and the atmosphere became more and more warm.

Everyone cherished the rare New Year's Eve reunion night, and had a happy meal.Concubine Xiao Gui looked at the smiling faces in front of her eyes, and the waves in her eyes became more and more violent.

Although she finally left the underground palace, after all, she has stayed in the dark underground for more than ten years. The dark night in the underground palace and Emperor Zhao's sudden appearance from time to time have left an indelible shadow on her, and it has become a nightmare that haunts her from time to time.The day is fine, but when she dreams back at midnight, she will always have all kinds of bizarre dreams, and she will wake up from her sleep every night, breaking out in a cold sweat.

But in order not to worry people, she didn't mention this time to Jun Xi, let alone tell Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan.

She knew that subconsciously she was still afraid.

Emperor Zhao imprisoned her for more than ten years. During these ten years, she tried various methods of escape, and even thought of suicide countless times.But Emperor Zhao always had a way to drag her back into that terrifying cage, and even refused to let her die.He said that once she died, he would let Shen Chuhan be buried with her.

She knew that Shen Chuhan had already returned to Zhao Kingdom, and if Emperor Zhao wanted to deal with him, it would be a piece of cake. It didn't matter if she died, but she couldn't implicate Shen Chuhan.

Therefore, she no longer dared to act rashly.

Unexpectedly, Shen Chuhan found her and successfully rescued her from the underground palace.Although it has been several days, she still seems to be in a dream, and she can't believe that she has regained her freedom.Besides disbelief, she was more afraid.

Yes, she was afraid that Emperor Zhao would find her, and she was afraid that she would implicate Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan.This kind of fear, like a gangrene attached to the bone, is like a shadow, making her heart hang all the time, it is really difficult to live in peace.

But for some reason, after seeing Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan today, the hanging heart finally fell, and the uneasiness that had been in the past few days seemed to disappear in an instant.

She found that her son was better and more capable than she imagined.At this time, they already had the capital to contend with Emperor Zhao.

Concubine Xiao Gui took a deep breath, and a look of tenacity appeared in her eyes.

She is no longer the concubine Xiao Gui who walked on thin ice. Her son has grown up and holds a lot of power. Her daughter-in-law is also alert and shy.

Now she is not fighting alone!
Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh of relief, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and the desire for life rekindled in his weather-soaked eyes.

Sensing Concubine Xiao's strangeness, Song Qinghuan turned her head to look, "Mother Concubine, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Concubine Xiao Gui had completely calmed down, she shook her head with a smile, raised her chopsticks, and gave her a piece of food, "Come, eat more."

"Thank you, concubine mother." Song Qing replied with a smile, "You should also eat more and take good care of your body."

Having said that, Shen Chuhan put down his chopsticks and looked at Concubine Xiao, "Mother Concubine, Ah Wan is right, you need to take good care of your body. In a few days, my brothers and sisters will come to the capital. Both of them are very good at medicine. They helped to recuperate, and you will be well soon."

Although Emperor Zhao did not treat Concubine Xiao Gui badly in terms of food and clothing, after all, there was too much yin in the underground, and Concubine Xiao was depressed at the right time, so her body was a little weak, so naturally she had to take good care of it, so as not to get rid of the root cause of the disease.

Concubine Xiao raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Your brothers and sisters?" In the past few days, although she has learned about what happened in the past ten years from Jun Xi, after all, she only knows a general idea, not to mention the matter of Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan , Jun Xi is not very clear, so Concubine Xiao Gui does not know Ji Liuyun and Ye Luo.

Shen Chuhan smiled, "It's getting late today, so A Wan and I will stay here. After dinner later, if Mother Concubine is not sleepy, we can chat with Mother Concubine. Mother Concubine must have a lot to ask us .”

Concubine Xiao Gui's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she nodded happily.

At this moment, it was cold and windy outside, but it was warm as spring inside.

After dinner, Jun Xi knew that they still had a lot to talk about, so he took his leave and went back to his room.Song Qinghuan went to look at her daughter, saw that she was sleeping soundly, so she was relieved, let Yun Ge watch from the side, and went to Xiao Guifei's room together with Shen Chuhan.

The candlelight flickered, reflecting the shadows of the three people on the wall.

They chatted a lot that night, and they didn't leave until late at night.For the first time, Concubine Xiao slept very peacefully, and for the first time, she never had those bizarre dreams again.

But many people in the palace tossed and turned that night, unable to sleep at night.

The next day.

Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan had no choice but to stay here for a long time, had breakfast with Concubine Xiao, and asked Mu Bai to instruct the servants and hidden guards in the mansion to take good care of them, and then bid farewell to Concubine Xiao and Junxi, and took the little Princess left.

The sun is rising and the morning mist is gradually dissipating.

The gate of the city has been opened, and the crowds are coming and going, very lively.Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan had already disguised themselves as ordinary couples, and brought the little princess into the city with ease.

He returned to the palace in a carriage, and still followed the method of yesterday, taking advantage of the servants coming in and out, quietly entered the palace through a side door, and the Jin Yiwei lurking around did not notice anything.

This year of ups and downs has just passed.

*
At the beginning of the new year, everyone was still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year, and suddenly two breaking news came from Chen Country——

First message:
The Emperor Chen, who had been delaying in setting up a crown prince, suddenly made up his mind and issued an edict to pass on the crown prince to Su Jingci, the third prince.

And the second news is also inextricably linked with the first news, everyone who heard it was shocked.

Qinshui Emperor Ji Su Rao, who was previously ambitious to compete with the third prince of the Chen Kingdom for the position of crown prince, after the Emperor Chen appointed the third prince as the crown prince, she invited herself to make peace with the two countries and wanted to marry Emperor Yin Zhan of Liang.What's even more strange is that Emperor Liang agreed without hesitation, and even promised Empress Qinshui the posthumous position, and immediately sent a mission to Luocheng to welcome her.

Although Liang Kingdom once married Yu Kingdom, but now Yu Kingdom has been destroyed, Song Qingyu, the former emperor of Yu Kingdom, is no longer useful, so no matter who Yin Zhan wants to marry again, she has no right to question it.

This incident happened so strangely that it stirred up waves in Shikoku for a while.

One must know that Liang Country and Chen Country are located at the northernmost point of Yunqing Continent, and the other is at the southeastern tip of Yunqing Continent. The two have no territorial connection at all, and there is a vast Inner Sea between them.

Such two countries that are at odds with each other have not yet broken out into a war. It's a good thing. Why did the marriage suddenly come about?
When things go wrong, there must be demons, so both Zhao Kingdom and the newly established Yan Kingdom are somewhat skeptical.

Only Song Qinghuan could smell some clues.

It was previously heard that Su Rao intends to compete with Su Jingci for the position of crown prince, and they would not allow her to succeed.Now Su Rao hated them to the bone, if she were allowed to take over the power of Chen Kingdom, there would be countless bloody storms waiting ahead, therefore, this possibility must be killed in the cradle.

Therefore, they decided to make a fuss about Su Rao framing Emperor Chen and Su Yan.

Some time ago, Shen Chuhan had already sent someone to arrange this matter, and it seemed that it had already achieved results.But the matter of Su Rao marrying Yin Zhan was unexpected to her.

In the previous life, Su Rao took a fancy to Shen Chuhan, and tried every means to come to Zhao Country. In this life, the development of things has completely deviated from the track of the previous life. I don't know what she is planning now.

It's just that there is a faint uneasiness in my heart.

Yin Zhan also hated them to the bone, and it was definitely not a good thing for him and Shen Chuhan for the two of them to mix together.

Youyou sighed, looking out the window with serious eyes.

I only hope that Shen Chuhan can take power as soon as possible, so that they can go to Yuheng Island as soon as possible.As long as the Gu poison in Shen Chuhan's body has been detoxified, even if Yin Zhan and Su Rao join forces, it is nothing to fear for them.

At this time, the country of Chen was thousands of miles away.

The inner courtyard of the Eastern Palace.

After Su Jingci was named the crown prince, he moved from the Prince's Mansion to the East Palace.

He sat at the desk, looking at the folder in front of him, but his eyes did not move for a long time, and his brows were furrowed.

Exactly... who is it?

Yes, he is now able to sit on the crown prince, and there is actually a mysterious force behind him helping him.

A few days ago, the battle between him and Su Rao for the crown prince intensified and reached a fever pitch.With the support of the queen and the queen's mother's family, Su Rao once gained the upper hand.

Although the father was kind to him for the sake of his mother and concubine, but Su Rao's lovable temper coaxed the father into submission, and it was difficult for the father to make a decision for a while.

In fact, he is the same as Su Fengming, he doesn't care about the crown prince, and he has no interest in the throne.

However, he knew that he was different from Su Fengming. Su Fengming had the support of Concubine Ruan's mother's family, but he had nothing.He was already a thorn in the side of Su Rao and the Queen's faction. If he didn't take that seat, then the first thing Su Rao would do after taking power would be to get rid of herself.

If it was the past, he would never have imagined that Su Rao would be such an ambitious person.If he had known this earlier, he should not have saved her when he returned to the forest in Zhaoguo, but now, it is too late.

Just when things were at an impasse, he suddenly received a letter.

The letter was nailed to the door of his study with an arrow.

His mansion has always been heavily guarded, and it must be an ordinary person who can pass letters into the mansion so quietly.

And when he read the contents of the letter, he was no longer in the mood to find out who sent the letter, because the content written in the letter was so shocking and unimaginable that when he finished reading it, he was already confused. In a cold sweat.

The letter said that his father, the emperor, had an affair with his imperial sister, Su Yan, and the instigator was actually Su Rao!

And this incident that would shame the entire royal family even happened on New Year's Eve two years ago!That New Year's Eve that he will never forget.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and clenched the hand holding the letter paper.

Could it be that... this letter was actually sent by someone from her? !

With a thought, a bitterness appeared in his eyes, and he didn't know what to think for a moment.

On New Year's Eve two years ago, if he could be a little more vigilant, many things would be different from now?There was a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his lips.

But in this world, there is no if after all.

Slowly lowering her eyes, she looked back at the letter in her hand again. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that this letter had something to do with her.

But why did she help herself?

Su Jingci's eyelashes trembled, and there was a trace of joy in his eyes that he didn't even notice.But in the end, the joy faded away.

She is already a wife now, and I heard that the two of them have a very good relationship, so why would they suddenly want to help him?

If this letter was really written by her, then the only explanation is that she didn't want Su Rao to take that seat.

Thinking about it this way, things make sense.

He knew that Su Rao had intentions for Shen Chuhan, so he always regarded her as a thorn in his flesh. In addition, Zhihui Lin stopped, she ruined Su Rao's appearance. As far as Rao is concerned, she is completely jealous of her.

If Su Rao is in charge of Chen Kingdom, then she will definitely use the power of the whole country to deal with her.

How could a woman as smart as her allow this to happen?

With a wry smile, Su Jingci's fingertips lightly stroked the letter paper in his hand.

Between him and her, there is no possibility in this life. If he can do a little more for her, it can be regarded as all the affection he once had for her.

With five fingers clenched, the letter paper in his hand was quickly creased.

He looked up to the window.

The cold wind was blowing, and the scenery in the courtyard was bleak. The face that was as cold as frost appeared in front of my eyes, and my heart, which had not been warmed for a long time, suddenly throbbed for a moment.

He reached out to cover his chest, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more bitter.

After all, he still couldn't let her go, but after all, he still missed her.

Qinger.

Only his name.

It seemed that he was in a daze before his eyes, and the scene where she was forced to pour wine for him at the New Year's Eve palace banquet appeared again. He should be able to detect the clues of the slender neck and the clean and dusty temperament, why didn't he notice the clues?
The five fingers were retracted suddenly, and there was a sudden pain in the heart.

Qing'er, in this life, can I call you Qing'er again?
