The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 150 The old emperor is critically ill

"Brother Xuan, are you okay?"

In the middle of the night, Yun Ruochen couldn't help taking out copper coins to predict the good or bad of Zhao Xuan's itinerary.Like countless times in the past, she couldn't deduce anything about Zhao Xuan at all.

It's so weird.

From the very beginning, she felt that this matter was weird... Even though Nie Shen, Ye Shenyan, and Gu Che, although they have a close relationship with her, she can still deduce some small-scale movements. .

Only Zhao Xuan, to her, was simply a blank field.

In the past, when her meridians were blocked and her cultivation was hindered, it was estimated that Zhao Xuan would always be counterattacked by the power of heaven and earth and stop helplessly.

Now, although she has rebuilt her meridians, her cultivation base is gradually recovering, and she is not so easily impacted by the power of heaven and earth, but she still can't see anything.

"Why exactly?"

Yun Ruochen smiled wryly, and put away the copper coins.

Is there any secret hidden in Brother Xuan...

A few days later, Nie Shen returned to the island alone.

Zhao Xuan has been safely sent to the shore, and has been handed over to someone at the helm of Tingyulou to arrange.Next, Zhao Xuan will go to the southeast.

Yun Ruochen deliberately asked Nie Shen to learn about Song Guogong's Zhao family's potential power in the southeast.Although she had checked some things about Zhao's family before, she had a deeper understanding this time.

In short, as the former imperial family, the influence of the Zhao family in the southeast cannot be underestimated.

Just imagine that the Qing Dynasty has been established for two or three hundred years, and the Zhao family still has to be kept in the capital carefully. You know that the power of the court has never been able to penetrate into the southeast.

The situation in the southeast is very complicated. At present, almost no one force can dominate the world.And the governor of the southeast, who is nominally the highest administrative and military officer, is always born in several big families in the southeast.

The southeast is simply a small kingdom where princes fight secretly.

"Princess, this Prince Zhao... If you can hold him, that's fine."

Under the candlelight, Nie Shen said in a low voice: "My man can ensure that he can enter the Southeast Governor's Mansion smoothly."

"I reckon that he's going to the southeast first this time to talk to several big families about his succession to the title."

When Yun Ruochen heard this, he raised his eyebrows and was not in a hurry to answer.

Zhao Xuan is a person who doesn't like to talk about his thoughts.

This time, he only told everyone that he wanted to go back, but he didn't explain anything to everyone. Gu Che and Ye Shenyan only thought that it was his father who was seriously ill.

But Yun Ruochen didn't think so.

If Zhao Xuan resolutely left just for his father, then he should go straight to the capital regardless of everything.But he had to turn the corner first and take the southeast route to meet Chu Pingan, the governor of the Southeast Water Transport.

In this turbulent time, is the situation in the southeast also turbulent, and the major families take the opportunity to compete for territory?

Zhao Xuan rushed to the southeast first, he definitely wanted to use his status as the son of the Duke of Song to negotiate with the Chu family, and first stabilize the Zhao family's territory in the southeast.

"I am the eldest son of Duke Song's mansion."

Inadvertently, Zhao Xuan's indifferent words floated in Yun Ruochen's mind again.She still remembers his appearance when he said this, resolute, decisive, and heavy.

Perhaps it was at that moment that Zhao Xuan decided to take the future of the entire Zhao family on his shoulders.

Song Guogong, who can't afford to be seriously injured in the capital, may die at any time. He must take the first step to stabilize people's hearts and secure the territory before Song Guogong dies!
He respects his father, but he values ​​his family more, which is the key to his leaving the island.

He has to go!

Yun Ruochen didn't know what kind of deal there was between the Zhao family and the Chu family, but they should be relatively close allies.Zhao Xuan's trip to the southeast, probably can get a relatively satisfactory result, right?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but recall the scene when she saw Zhao Xuan and Chu Qingbo, the son of Governor Chu, appear side by side in the Sanyuan Tower.

That beautiful Chu Qingbo...had a monstrous face, somewhat similar to Nie Shen's good junior, the silver-faced Ye Cong.

Is he okay?

When the upheaval in Spring Hunting happened, Chu Qingbo was still in the capital, so nothing would happen.Although Chunwei in their subject was ruined, as long as everyone is safe, it will be fine.

She even asked him to promote her father's reputation as the "Prince Ren" for her at the literary conference. She wanted to win back the city by means of a public opinion war, but she was ambushed the next day.

Man is not as good as God, alas!
"The princess?"

Nie Shen saw that Yun Ruochen didn't speak out for a long time, but instead frowned more and more tightly, thinking that his words made Yun Ruochen feel disgusted.

Yes, although the princess often does some amazing things, she is still a young girl after all.She regards Zhao Xuan as a good friend, but she said this to her, isn't it...

"Ah?" Yun Ruochen realized that he was distracted, his cheeks were slightly red, and he hurriedly said, "I see. Please pay attention to the affairs of the Zhao family, Manager Nie."

In the future, if the father succeeds to the throne, the state of the "small kingdom" in the southeast will not continue.She has to find a way to break up the situation in this area and strengthen the central government's right to speak in the southeast.

Seeing that Yun Ruochen didn't seem to blame him, Nie Shen was relieved.

For some reason, he found that he was not calm when facing Yun Ruochen recently... This is not like his usual style.

The next day, another small hurricane came, and the heavy rain lasted for two or three days before it gradually stopped.

This is the last hurricane of the fall, and the weather has gone from "cool" to "cold" as the storm passes.

The "virtuous" Ye Shenyan added another powerful skill before the first snow in winter, that is, he learned how to do needlework without a teacher!
Although there are a lot of clothes for the four seasons in the dark rudder, there are very few girls' clothes, let alone children's clothes.

Nie Shen went ashore twice, and brought a lot of replacement clothes and daily necessities for Yun Ruochen and Yun Yao.

But Nie Shen is always a man, and the clothes he brought back didn't fit them well. To be precise, they were all loose... I'm afraid they bought them too small!
It doesn't matter to Yun Ruochen, if it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit, anyway, I don't see outsiders, so it doesn't matter if I dress casually.

Ye Shenyan couldn't stand it anymore, and volunteered to change her clothes.

He is quite smart, so he started to practice by changing Yunyao's little jacket.It has to be said that Ye Shenyan has the potential of a housewife, and he has learned [-]% to [-]% of acupuncture just by exploring it by himself.

After scrapping the two small clothes, he finally had a good result, and the jacket he changed for Yun Yao actually fit him well.

Yun Ruochen patted him on the shoulder in a leadership manner and said, "Speak carefully, work hard, I believe you can do it!"

If Zhao Xuan was there, he would definitely be able to see the sly gleam in Yun Ruochen's sincere eyes.She obviously didn't want to be a female celebrity, so she tried her best to encourage Ye Shenyan to cheer up.

It's a pity that Ye Shenyan's brain is still a little worse than Zhao Xuan's. He was moved by Yun Ruochen's encouragement and his blood surged, so he turned on the lights and fought every night to do needlework.

Finally, after countless times of frustration of pricking his fingers into bloody holes, Ye Shenyan successfully helped Yun Ruochen change the waist of a jacket.

Yun Ruochen immediately put on the clothes, and said to Ye Shenyan with ten times sincerity: "Shenyan, you did a great job! I rely on you for all my clothes!"

"give it to me!"

Ye Shenyan patted his growing chest and agreed.

Nie Shen watched from the side, feeling a little funny.

Shen Yan said that this kid is definitely not honest, he is smart, if left outside, no one can take advantage of him.Nie Shen had given him several tasks. Although his skills were not as good as those of his seniors, he completed them very well and smoothly.

But in front of the little princess, Ye Shenyan was very obedient.The words of the little princess are more effective than those of my master.

On the day when it started to snow, Yun Ruochen wore a bell cloak that Ye Shenyan had made for her and stood on the beach looking at the scenery, watching the snowflakes fall one by one.

"Ruochen, it's very cold, come in quickly."

It was almost dinner time, but Gu Che couldn't find her. After searching around, he found that she had come here.

He reproachfully put the hood of a bell on her head, and stroked the snowflakes off her shoulders.

"It's time to eat, let's eat pot tonight! Shen Yan made a soup with several birds, fried crispy, delicious and sweet!"

"Really? It's good to be cautious."

Yun Ruochen put his hands around his mouth and let out a sigh of relief, as if he was not very interested.

Gu Che raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.Usually, Ruochen is interested in delicious food, and laughs happily when talking about food, what's wrong?
It's so strange to go to the beach to watch the wind blowing in cold weather and feel unhappy.

"Thousands of mountains are still green and pity the frosty leaves, and the green jasmine is dyed white overnight...Suddenly recalling that people are separated by the sea, alone and far away, Dai hates the end of the world. Sigh."

Yun Ruochen sighed softly, looked away at the distant sea, turned around and said, "Okay, let's go back."

"Um……"

Gu Che was in a daze, and still couldn't figure out what Yun Ruochen was worrying about.

Also, what did the verse she murmured just now mean?

It sounds like it's snowing, and then, ah... Liren?Was she missing Zhao Xuan who had been away for two months?

Yun Ruochen was indeed thinking about Zhao Xuan.

Just today, Nie Shen received a message from his companion on land with a carrier pigeon.

The battle between the imperial court and King Cheng continued in a see-saw manner, and the colder weather made the battle even more stalemate. Both sides failed to find an opportunity to win, and were only engaged in some small-scale battles.

As for Zhao Xuan, after being escorted into the Southeast Governor's Mansion by the people from Ting Yulou, he lost the news like a stone sinks into the sea.According to the people in Ting Yulou, Zhao Xuan has already left the southeast, but his whereabouts remain a mystery.

However, Song Guogong in the capital seemed to be able to hold on. Although he couldn't get out of bed, there was no news of his death.

"It's been two months... Brother Xuan, how are you doing now?"

It was so cold and he was not in good health.Although he may not be on the road alone, but the journey is bumpy... Will he be able to reach the capital smoothly?

When Gu Che and Yun Ruochen returned to the front hall, Ye Shenyan had already arranged the pot and was feeding Yun Yao.

"Where's Uncle Nie?" Gu Che couldn't find Nie Shen when he looked around. Usually, Nie Shen would always show up at the meal time, and he never needed to be invited.

Suddenly, they saw Nie Shen coming in from behind the patio with a serious expression on his face.

"The county lord."

He walked up to Yun Ruochen, and said in a deep voice: "New news, the old emperor is dying!"
