The blind concubine married the prince, don't stand in the way

Chapter 475 025: Assassination in the dark night, the wind and rain fall

The queen looked at the prince sharply: "Why did the prince suddenly mention this matter, did someone tell you something?"

"No, it's just that I think that with the current situation of Xie's family, the child in Shimei's womb will take two or three months. I'm afraid I can't wait. If I can adopt one of the side branches first to stabilize the situation, it's not bad It's an expedient measure, and the cousin's body is already on the way back, and it's time to arrive this month, and he has to go to the funeral. At that time, the tenth sister and the child in her womb will not be able to wear mourning, and someone will have to throw a basin for the cousin. Anyway, my uncle will recover anyway, and there is no rush to inherit the title."

The queen knew well that what the prince said was not unreasonable.

If one of the offshoots can be adopted, those offshoots of the Xie family can stop, and if they stop, Xie Yongheng won't be able to make a fuss anymore. The situation is stabilized temporarily, and the matter of attacking the prince can be discussed in the long term.

The crown prince continued: "Besides, if this news is thrown out now, Second Uncle and those offshoots of the Xie family will be separated from each other in an instant, and they will fight each other endlessly over the issue of adoption, which happens to give Uncle and Aunt a chance to breathe. The more severe it is, the greater the internal disintegration will be, and it will be easier to deal with them when my uncle recovers in the future."

And now the tenth princess and the child in her womb have been traumatized by the previous incident. It is still unknown whether the child can be born safely, at least in the eyes of those who don't know. It was a kind of compromise and concession made by the eldest family of the Xie family to them. They would definitely not point the finger at Xie Guogong and his wife again, but fought for the place of adoption.

The queen smiled faintly: "The prince is much smarter."

The prince was noncommittal and responded.

The queen thought for a moment, but did not agree directly, but said: "Forget it, what you said is very reasonable, and it is not impossible. I will think about it carefully, and if it is feasible, I will discuss it with your aunt."

"it is good."

"You still have government affairs to deal with, let's go."

"Yes."

The prince got up and gave a farewell ceremony, then left Fengyi Hall.

After he left, Princess Yichuan came out from a hidden place.

The queen shot her a look and said with a smile: "Since you are back, why don't you come in directly, and you are still so sneaky, like a thief, is it possible that you are still afraid of seeing the prince?"

Princess Yichuan came over, sat in front of the queen casually, and said with a smile: "My daughter just sees that mother is rarely alone with the prince, so she doesn't want to disturb her, so that mother can talk to the prince, but she didn't expect..."

The queen smiled helplessly: "I know your painstaking efforts, but after all, the prince and I have been estranged for many years. It's not easy to relax, but now it's fine."

Since the prince was recalled last year, the relationship between mother and son has changed from being strangers to being speechless when they met each other. Princess Yichuan has been trying to get them to cultivate their feelings again, but feelings are something that cannot be forced, even if it is mother and child. Same.

Princess Yichuan sighed, but didn't know what to say.

The queen then asked: "What's the matter with Ah Ning? Is she still not getting better?"

Princess Yichuan sighed, and said: "Mother Chu's concubine has a heart disease. She can't see Wanqing, and everyone refuses to tell her the truth. She is depressed and restless day and night. How can it be easy to get better? You can only wait." Wanqing gave birth to a child in peace, maybe she can be comforted, and maybe it will be healed."

The queen sighed: "It's hard for her, she was already in poor health, but now... I'm really afraid that something will happen to her."

Princess Yichuan said: "Not really, it's just that the illness is a little serious, but it will be fine."

The queen nodded, and didn't say much about Concubine Chu.

"You heard the prince's proposal just now, what do you think?"

Princess Yichuan said without thinking, "My daughter thinks it's feasible."

"Oh?"

Princess Yichuan said: "Release the news first and let them kill each other. If it's a big deal, just adopt one. Let's talk about the future. The most important thing is to solve the current predicament."

The queen pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Then you go to Xie's house tomorrow and discuss it with your aunt every day. If she has no objection, you can do so. Also, you can also go to Chu Palace to see Wanqing. How is it?"

Princess Yichuan said with a smile: "I was planning to do this, and just now Concubine Chu Mu also said that I should go and see it for her."

The queen's nose was sour, and she said with red eyes: "The child doesn't even know that Yun'er is gone, and I'm afraid she is still waiting for Yun'er to come back and reunite. How can she stand it in the future? Still so young...it hurts to think about it."

Princess Yichuan said in relief: "Mother, don't think about these things, it's useless to think too much."

The queen nodded, sighed, and didn't say much.

In the middle of the night, on a certain forest path from Dongyue to the north.

All sounds are silent.

A crescent moon hangs in the sky, and the dim moonlight sprinkles between the sky and the earth. I can't even see the road clearly. I can only see the looming shadows of mountains and trees, and I can hear the nightingale's cry from nowhere. The sounds of various insects were mixed together, and this area was deserted.

At this moment, a sound of horseshoes sounded from far to near. In this quiet and remote mountain forest, it was so clear and loud that it startled the birds on the trees to fly in disorder.

The night was hazy, it was hard to see who was on the horse, only a group of men could be vaguely seen, and they galloped like this, probably in a hurry to go somewhere, however, they stopped suddenly after riding for a while .

The road ahead is becoming more and more difficult.

After stopping, a voice sounded: "Your Highness, I am afraid that we cannot continue to ride the horse forward in this situation, otherwise there will be no accidents. Besides, we are not familiar with this place, we don't know what's going on around us, and we don't know How did the Dongyue people set up an ambush, and how many people were hiding in the dark with the intention of assassinating His Highness, if they continue to ride their horses, the target is too big, they may startle the snake, and His Highness only has a few subordinates to protect him."

It was Su Jiu who spoke, and the words were addressed to the man in black at the front.

That's right, this man is Zhao Yu who just left quietly after attending the wedding of the Empress of Dongyue a few days ago.

And many of the people around him pretended that he had diverted their attention, or stayed behind to help him cut off the way out. Only these 20 or so most elite close guards protected him. In order not to cause trouble, he also They had no choice but to come north, pretending to lurk during the day, and only rushing at night, and they always tried to take small paths.

He didn't encounter danger all the way, only those people from Dongyue were more strict in the daytime, but they also targeted him.

However, he always felt that this journey was too peaceful.

Zhao Yu remained silent, holding the rein in his hand and looking at the dark night in front of him, thoughtful.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Su Jiu hurriedly said, "Your Highness..."

Before he could say anything, Zhao Yu suddenly said in a deep voice, "There is an ambush ahead!"

Su Jiu was startled: "What?"

Zhao Yu looked around and said nothing.

Not just in front, but all around, there are killers in ambush!
Su Jiu felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and immediately said: "Your Highness, hurry up, your subordinates will wait here!"

The group behind also became vigilant, and immediately stepped forward one by one to surround Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu whispered: "I'm afraid I won't be able to leave!"

"Your Highness..."

Just as Su Jiu exclaimed in shock, there were bursts of rustling noises around him, and then, a harsh shout sounded: "Fire the arrow!"

As soon as the sound fell, arrows rained from all directions at the same time, piercing the night with lightning speed, and heading towards the people in the middle...

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

"Protect Your Highness!"

The night was too dark to see clearly, I saw the group of people surrounded by shaking for a while, and then heard the sound of knives and arrows colliding, after a shower of arrows, several people were injured, but no one fell down. He could only hold on to protect Zhao Si in the middle.

Zhao Yu was protected, but there was no damage.

At this time, the surrounding figures surged, and the fire suddenly lit up, holding torches around, and then, one after another, black shadows flashed from the fire, and about [-] men in black rushed over and took Zhao Yu and A group of subordinates surrounded him.

"Not one will be left alive!"

Suddenly, the sound of fighting and killing sounded...

……

Since the news that Mrs. Xie intends to adopt an heir for Xie Yun, those people in the Xie family have indeed stopped, but Xie Yongheng does not want to stop, but those tribesmen are fighting for the number of heirs, how can they care about him, after all, they can only follow him It was because Xie Guogong had been inactive for many years and had a stubborn temper, which did not bring them much benefit. They supported Xie Yongheng after Xie Guogong fell ill, because Xie Yongheng gave them a guarantee.

But now, if their grandson can be selected for adoption, then he will be the future Fu Guogong. Even if the tenth princess's child is still there, he will still be able to compete. Moreover, since Mrs. Xie said that she intends to choose an heir, it means that the tenth princess I am afraid that the children of the Xie family will die, which makes them eager to take this place. If their descendants can inherit the title, they will have the final say on the Xie family in the future. This is far more important than supporting Xie Yongheng. Much more secure.

The people in the side branches of the Xie family's concubine, who have young grandchildren at home, all scrambled to let the wife and daughters of the family go to show their favor to Mrs. Xie, and then fought with each other, because Xie Yun's coffin was already on the way back, and the heir was sure. It needs to be settled before this, so that the funeral will be held at that time, so everyone is vying to show their kindness. No one dares to embarrass Mrs. Xie, but it is much cleaner, except for dealing with those fawning sisters-in-law and family members. Take care of Xie Guogong wholeheartedly, oh, because of this, Xie Yongheng will not be able to make trouble anymore, and the back house is on fire, his wife and children are also thinking about the number of heirs, and they try to persuade him not to fight against the big house, Xie's family is quiet, Mrs. Xie I finally had time to see the ten princesses.

Jicheng became quiet again.

The sky was covered by dark clouds, but there was not even a sweltering wind.

Fu Yue took a nap, looking at the gloomy weather outside, her eyes darkened.

Qing Yuan waited by her side, looked outside together with her, wondering: "Princess, it has been gloomy for a day, it has been so gloomy since yesterday, but it never rains, it is strangely tight Woolen cloth."

Fu Yue smiled faintly: "What's so strange? It's just the calm before the storm."

Qing Yuan tilted his head: "The princess is saying that there will be a heavy rain?"

Fu Yue smiled meaningfully and said, "More than that? It must be a violent storm."

Qingyuan was taken aback.

Fu Yue turned around and asked, "By the way, how long has it been since the prince replied?"

Qing Yuan pinched his fingers and calculated, and said: "If you calculate carefully, it may be eleven days."

Fu Yue was in a daze: "Eleven days..."

It's been a long time...

He went there for more than a month, and although he didn't write letters every day, he sent letters back every now and then, but now, it's been eleven days...

How can it be so long?
What happened to the south?

Seeing that Fu Yue was lost in thought, Qing Yuan hurriedly asked: "Is the princess worried about the prince?"

Fu Yue nodded: "It's a bit."

Although she knows his abilities, she also knows that the current situation in the southern border is definitely more severe than what she knows. In fact, she couldn't see anything about the situation in the southern border. Since he didn't let anyone pass on the news, there was no one around him to ask, but since he went this time, since he wanted to wipe out the dark lines and eyes and ears set by Zhao Shu in the southern border, Then, there must be danger, but she doesn't know anything, and now there is no news for eleven days, she went to Feiying to send a letter to ask what happened, but it was like nothing, so why not worry?

But she couldn't go, not to mention her poor health, and the current situation couldn't allow her to leave Jicheng, so she didn't feel at ease.

Qing Yuan comforted and said: "Princess don't worry, the prince is strong in martial arts, and there are people around him to protect him, maybe he is busy with things, so he can't take care of it, maybe these two things will happen, so you can rest assured."

Fu Yue nodded and continued to look outside, after thinking for a while, she summoned Chu San.

"Where is Xie Yun's coffin sent?"

Chu San whispered: "I received news from Lingzhou two days ago, saying that I have passed Lingzhou."

Fu Yue frowned slightly: "The weather is so hot..."

It was already rotten when it was found, and it took at least a month to get there on the way back. It was still such a hot weather, and it might not be the same when it was sent back.

Fu Yue couldn't help but sigh.

Xie Yun has been a talented and gentle person since he was a child. He is both civil and military. That sentence said, standing like a Zhilan Yushu, smiling like a bright moon in your arms, a perfect person who can't pick out the slightest flaw, who would have thought that such a perfect person would die so tragically, and after death, he would have to bear all this... Such ups and downs and humiliation are embarrassing.

Chu San was quickly dismissed by Fu Yue, and Fu Yue then asked Qing Yuan to help her change and dress up, planning to go to the tenth princess again.

The Tenth Princess is quite busy today. Mrs. Xie rarely came here today. After spending half a day with the Tenth Princess, Fu Yue took her leave as soon as she came. After all, she couldn’t leave the Xie family for too long. Xie Xun and Pei Sheng came.

I stayed with the tenth princess for half a day, and it was near evening before everyone dispersed.

　I, I, I... make up!

　　There were still [-] before, so make up for the holidays together!
