Stunning favorite concubine, whether or not the enchanting prince will make an appointment

Chapter 152
A few days before the winter solstice, a piece of news came out of the border that made the court uneasy. The state of Qi, which borders on the east of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, has suddenly raised its troops recently!

Northern Zhou and Qi are not friendly neighbors. Although they lived in peace for the past two years, they were at war almost every day before. Who knows if they have planned their sudden military training recently.

A few months ago, Northern Zhou had just finished fighting with Southern Chu, and now the army is very empty. If Qi State sends troops to Northern Zhou at this time, I am afraid that the Northern Zhou will be in trouble again.

As soon as the news of the border came, the emperor's buttocks immediately became unsteady. Let me tell you, did they commit a crime in the Northern Zhou Dynasty this year or what?First, she was almost bullied by Nan Chu to her doorstep, and then Qi Guo made a fuss again, and the Chinese New Year will be in two months, so let this year go, let's live it well!
If you want to fight, you have to wait until the next year, at least you have to wait for their soldiers in the Northern Zhou Dynasty to take a breath before talking, don't bring such a robbery!

But the nervousness is the nervousness. After all, I have been the emperor for so many years. This force is not for nothing. The emperor quickly calmed down and ordered people to recruit Su Zhan into the palace. If Qi Guo really sent troops to them, the current crisis may be in danger. Only Su Zhan can solve it.

Ever since Gu Rou was assassinated by Chang's family last time, Su Zhan had asked the emperor for long-term sick leave and stayed at home all day "unwell". Up to now, he has only entered the palace once in total.

In name, it is to recuperate from illness, but in fact it is to raise a concubine!

But even if everyone knew about it, no one dared to tell him!
But this time the matter was so serious that the emperor had to dispatch Su Zhan. If he was allowed to be ill again, Nima would be ill for the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty!

But the answer given by the person sent by the emperor was: King Moling's illness became more and more serious, and he couldn't even get out of bed, so he couldn't do the thing that killed Qi Guolai in seconds!Let the emperor hire someone else!
The father-in-law who delivered the news was only standing outside the mosquito net, explaining the matter to Su Zhan through the blurry gauze that could not see anything clearly, but the other party's words did not reflect the tension and worry of going abroad at all, as if Qi The country's military training is really just military training, and has nothing to do with him. He dismissed the eunuch sent by the emperor with just a few words.

With such refusal from Su Zhan, the emperor started to face difficulties again. Before Southern Chu invaded Northern Zhou, Su Zhan tried his best to rescue the defeated Northern Zhou at the most critical moment and then killed the enemy in seconds. Now that Qi State suddenly trained troops, the emperor hoped that he could go there Border to solve the problem, but why did Su Zhan refuse to agree?What the hell does he mean?
The emperor thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what kind of chess Su Zhan was playing. But the situation at the border is urgent now. If Qi State is serious about them, the country will inevitably fall into disaster again. Under the huge pressure of the country, In the end, the emperor decided that he would go to Moling Palace in person to care about his son's condition!

On the second day, the emperor set off from the palace, cheering and hugging, and came to Moling Palace.

However, another person also came here, that is, Chang Ai'ai's grandfather, General Chang, who arrived at the door almost at the same time as the emperor.

The two big men arrived at the same time, and Su Zhan, who was in a "serious illness", was flattered, almost being helped out of the door by eight sedan chairs to meet the emperor, with a moved look on his face.

The emperor clearly told him not to get out of bed, but in order to express his gratitude, Su Zhan vowed to go out to pick him up. The emperor has already said that he came here today to visit the sick, and the emperor is busy all day , but still had to find time to visit him at his house, even if he died of illness, he still had to go out to meet him!

Although the body is precious, the love between father and son is even deeper!

Is there any minister in the imperial court who can be visited by the emperor himself when he is sick?That's just him!
As soon as they met, the two performed another father-son affectionate performance, almost crying, which attracted the crowd to sigh in their hearts.

After showing off their acting skills, Su Zhan invited the emperor and old general Chang into the mansion with a weak look, and held a banquet.

It snowed all night last night. At this time, the ground is covered with a thick layer. The entire Moling Palace is covered with snow. The scenery is already beautiful, but because of the snow, the scenery of the entire palace is even more beautiful.

In order to see the scenery conveniently, Su Zhan thoughtfully decided to hold the banquet at the Huxin Pavilion, so that when talking about things, he could also enjoy the snow scene in the mansion by the way.

Sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Su Zhan still looked weak, with a thick blanket covering his body, reminding the emperor that he was a "patient" at the moment.

The emperor felt a little uncomfortable seeing Su Zhan like this, but he was still superficial. After explaining the recent military training in Qi State, he asked Su Zhan for his opinion.

Su Zhan seemed very surprised: "Ah, what happened? Father, you should send some people to the border gate to keep an eye on it!"

As he said that, he said with a regretful face: "It's a pity that my son has been seriously ill recently, so I can't share the emperor's worries."

His tone was full of depression and self-blame, as if he felt extremely guilty for not being able to contribute to the country at a critical moment.

But the emperor scolded Su Zhan all over in his heart, I just sent someone to tell you about this yesterday, you just pretended not to know today, and just wanted to push it away with a single word!

Thousands of muddy horses ran back and forth in the emperor's heart, trampling his heart into cracks, but his face was showing hard work, and he also frowned and said, "Didn't you be fine before? Why did you suddenly get sick recently?"

Su Zhan also sighed, and said, "Father, the illness of this minister is not a coincidence!"

"Oh?" asked the emperor, "but why?"

Su Zhan nodded heavily, and said: "Just a few days ago, I was surrounded by dozens of killers when I went out in the woods in the north of the city. At that time, I tried my best to wipe out all the killers, but since that night, I have felt I felt a little unwell, and then it became more and more serious day by day, Wei Chen tried to feel his own pulse many times, but he couldn't find out the reason."

When Su Zhan mentioned the assassination in the woods in the north of the city that day, the old General Chang beside him subconsciously tensed up. He mentioned this matter at this time. Could it be that he found out something?
But this Su Zhan is obviously lying without blinking an eye, General Chang only sent someone to kill his concubine, who would dare to touch him?Fortunately, he even found a reason to pretend to be sick!
The emperor frowned deeper, and asked with concern: "How did this happen? Can you find out who those assassins are?"

Su Zhan also shook his head sadly: "It hasn't been found yet."

"Then your illness is related to those people?" the emperor asked suspiciously.

Su Zhan nodded more and more heavily.

The emperor thought about everything for a while, and then solemnly said to him: "Don't worry, I will definitely send someone to investigate this matter, so that Zhan'er's intractable diseases can be solved as soon as possible."

Su Zhan nodded gratefully: "Then thank you, Father."

Su Zhan's gentle and harmless face, coupled with the sick face he can pretend, makes people look unwarranted.

The emperor conjectured in his heart, could it be that Su Zhan has been pretending to be sick just to let him find out the real culprits behind those who assassinated him?But with Su Zhan's ability, how could he not find out by himself?

Thinking of this, the emperor asked about the specific situation that day. Su Zhan smiled and said that after drinking the tea invited by General Chang that day, he rode a horse to the north of the city for a stroll, but he was ambushed by killers as soon as he arrived in the woods. He didn't mention Gu Rou in the whole thing.

After the emperor heard this, his brows almost wrinkled a few times. He turned his head and glanced at Old General Chang. Nima listened to his tone, why did he feel that this matter had something to do with Old General Chang?

Su Zhan's wishful thinking was quick. He knew that those killers were sent by the Chang family, but he never pursued the matter. Now he wants to use the emperor's hand to find out the matter. Now the emperor asks him, so naturally I will work hard to investigate the case. If the emperor finds out about the Chang family, the result will be more exciting...

The three of them have their own ghosts, but they don't show it on their faces. Whether you look at it from a long distance or a close distance, this cliff is a picture of the monarch and his ministers living in peace!

Who would have thought that none of these three people was planning something good in their stomachs!
It was another questioning, and another investigation, the emperor secretly thought that this time Su Zhan should agree to go to the border to solve the military training of Qi State, right?
After thinking about it, he opened his mouth: "Zhan'er, look..."

Who knew that before the words came out, Su Zhan on the side opened his mouth, completely ignoring that the emperor had something to say, he looked at General Chang and said, "General Chang, are you here on business today?"

Old General Chang was still caught in the incident of killing the concubine, he was slightly taken aback by Su Zhan's question inadvertently, and said: "The last general came to see my granddaughter today."

Su Zhan smiled clearly, and asked the people on the side to inform Chang Ai Ai, while the emperor sat aside and felt dissatisfied with Su Zhan one after another.

How can he do this?
Originally thought that if he agreed to help him find out the killer who assassinated him in the north of the city that day, he would agree to solve the Qi country's affairs by himself, but seeing Su Zhan like this, it seemed that he didn't intend to mention this matter at all, this damn man can't do this what!

As the saying goes, Long Shenglong, Feng Shengfeng, the mouse's son will punch holes.

How could he have such a cheating son as Su Zhan?
The smile on Su Zhan's face was pale and weak but still elegant. He glanced at the emperor's dissatisfied face and knew what he was thinking.

The emperor was secretly anxious, but Su Zhan had a wishful thinking in his heart. He took a sip of tea leisurely and relaxedly, and then turned his head to look at the scenery.

Not far across from the Huxin Pavilion is an arched white jade bridge. The three of them were drinking tea and having their own thoughts when suddenly a person next to him whispered, "Old General Chang, Miss Chang is on the opposite Baiyu Bridge." up."

Old General Chang and the Emperor both turned their heads to look, and Su Zhan was facing the bridge. All three of them saw that Chang Aiai was wearing a rose-colored fox fur, and the hairpin on her head looked like a display stand. Yes, under the beautiful and graceful scenery of the mansion, she is particularly eye-catching, and there is a person walking in front of her.

Gu Rou and Chang Ai Ai met by accident while walking around the house. Chang Ai Ai first showed her award-winning acting skills and greeted them politely like a best friend. Gu Rou also responded with the same acting skills. He continued walking in silence.

Chang Aiai didn't know that her grandfather was here, let alone that her grandfather, Su Zhan and the emperor were chatting at the opposite Huxin Pavilion at the moment. Originally, she didn't want to go to the Baiyu Stone Bridge, but when she saw Gu Rou go When walking on the bridge, Chang Aiai somehow followed, walking two steps behind Gu Rou.

Gu Rou knew that Chang Aiai didn't say anything when she followed her, and continued to walk her own way, her feet were on the snow, and the bridge was easy to fall, so they both walked slowly.

At this moment, the two of them had already walked half the distance of the entire bridge, and were walking to the highest point of the arch. Chang Aiai glanced at the slope below, and secretly thought that if Gu Rou was pushed down from behind at this time, the child in her belly would be damaged. Will it be gone?
But when she thought that there was nothing wrong with her rolling down the stone steps when she was in Wanfo Temple, Chang Aiai gave up this idea.

Although she gave up her thoughts, before she gave up, Chang Aiai instinctively stretched out her hand to push Gu Rou, but her action fell into the eyes of the three people watching in the opposite pavilion, and Su Zhan didn't even blink , just staring at the people on the bridge darkly and deeply, without expressing the slightest sign, the emperor was curious, secretly wondering who did Chang Ai Ai want to push?Old General Chang's complexion turned a little ugly, this Nima's granddaughter is committing murder in front of the prince and the emperor!
