Weibei Hou has always cared about the affairs of the back house, and he was surprised when he heard this:

"It's good to leave these things in the house to Mama Gao and the Zhu family, you are a man, what is the reason for meddling well?"

"The son doesn't have to take care of everything, it's just a name to support Mama Gao. If my father doesn't like it, then I don't care. ”

Xu Chenglin did not stick to the end.

Wei Beihou pondered for a while, but still agreed.

"If you want to investigate, you can check it, but at this time, if there is anything to cover first, don't act rashly - as for Mama Gao, she has followed your mother for so many years, and when the idlers come to her, it is not enough to look at her, so you don't have to worry. ”

The children all have opinions about Aunt Zhu, and the son is probably afraid that Aunt Zhu will bully Mama Gao.

Xu Chenglin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The last time I poisoned Mama Lin, I almost caused my mother to explore, and this time, no matter what, I have to deal with this matter without leaving a trace.

Who knew that as soon as he was about to go out of the second door, a woman's voice came from behind him.

"The prince stays, the concubine wants to ask the prince a few words!"

This humble voice was slightly familiar, Xu Chenglin turned around, but the person he saw was Aunt Zhu.

Aunt Zhu was dressed in a dull sauce-colored dress, with a plain face, and suddenly saw that she was at least ten years older than her previous appearance of deliberately dressed up in red and willow green.

In the past, Aunt Zhu has always been provocative in what she says and does, but now that she has become like this, is it possible that she is really at peace from now on?

Xu Chenglin walked fast, Aunt Zhu chased hard, and finally trotted to the front, still panting slightly.

But he couldn't care about his breath, so he hurriedly saluted Xu Chenglin and asked carefully:

"The prince has come back from the southeast, can you tell the concubine, second miss, how is she now?"

Xu Chenglin glanced at her, frowned and did not speak.

The woman who is over thirty years old has already developed fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and the arrogance and arrogance under her eyes have disappeared at one time.

How can a person change so completely?

Seeing that Xu Chenglin didn't speak, Aunt Zhu was a little panicked, and there was even more humble pleading in her voice:

"Shiziye, the concubine knows, the second lady was taught by the concubine in the past to be a little unaware of the sky, and she must have caused you trouble, but she also learned a lesson, after all, she is also connected with the blood of the prince...... Please take care of the prince more!"

Xu Chenglin has never seen Aunt Zhu who completely lowered herself to the dust.

You must know that for many years, Aunt Zhu's behavior is simply a model for the concubines of the powerful families in the capital.

Now that it's suddenly like this, although he doesn't know what's going on, Aunt Zhu can stop blocking people, and she knows it.

And Xu Chengyi, who was still fighting with Lin Daocheng in the southeast all day long-

Xu Chenglin glanced at Aunt Zhu:

"She is now the wife of the Lin family, there is nothing bad, as long as you are safe, I will naturally take care of it. ”

Lin Daocheng has now led his troops to the south of the Yangtze River, and Xu Chengyi, the back house of the Lin family, covers the sky with one hand, presumably life is very good.

Xu Chenglin's words were a threat in Aunt Zhu's ears, she lowered her head a little lower, and replied again and again:

"The concubine must remember the instructions of the prince. ”

Xu Chenglin didn't want to talk to her more, nodded and walked away.

Aunt Zhu followed two more steps behind him, wanting to speak again and again, but finally didn't say anything.

The guesses in her heart still have to be told to Madame herself.

Xu Chenglin took a carriage to Zhuangzi in person.

Mama Lin was still unconscious, but she was holding a strange breath, and her life was safe for a while.

"Hasn't she been poisoned for a long time, why is she still alive now?"

Zhuang Tou, who was picked out by Xu Chenglin for questioning, looked at Xu Chenglin's face, and couldn't figure out the meaning of the prince's words for a while.

Does this want Mama Lin to live, or don't you want Mama Lin to live?

After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth.

"Aunt Xiurong beside the lady lady in the palace often ordered people to send some medicinal materials out, and often came to visit her mother in person, and the lady explained it again, and looked at Mama Lin attentively, and the little ones took care of it wholeheartedly, and this Mama Lin was also hard, so she survived. ”

Xu Chenglin thought about it silently, but turned around and left.

Originally, he wanted to kill Mama Lin quietly, but he didn't expect that this Mama Lin would be looked at by her mother, and there was Xiurong's own daughter, so she had to keep her for a while.

When Xiurong came to visit her mother again when she was out of the palace, Zhuangtou complimented her with a smile on her face:

"Aunt Lin was the one who worked hard and served the old lady back then, not only did the lady order to take care of it, but even the prince came to visit in person, which is also the dignity of Aunt Xiurong. ”

didn't know that Xiurong was shocked when she heard this, and she didn't even care about staying longer, so she hurriedly returned to the palace to report to Concubine Shu.

"Concubine Niangniang, will it be the ...... of the year?"

This has always been a shadow in Xiurong's heart.

Concubine Shu was not on this at all, and when she heard this, she said impatiently:

"Your old lady can't speak anymore, except for you and me, who else in this world can know about this? Don't scare yourself, let's discuss the important matter quickly. ”

Hearing Concubine Shu like this, Xiurong had to accept the doubts in her heart and began to worry about another matter.

Although the manpower in their hands is not as convenient as before, it took two or three days for them to inquire about what happened in the court.

Fang Handong actually proposed to hand over the murderer of the year to calm the anger of the Qin Palace-the person who pushed Princess Qin down the Jinhe River back then, the so-called murderer, isn't it Concubine Shu?

These courtiers can't fight, but they can come up with such bad ideas!

Xiurong thought hatefully in her heart, but she couldn't say it to the surface.

"The emperor has no intention of compromising with the Qin Palace, and the concubine Niangniang, please relax. ”

After thinking about it, I could only comfort dryly.

Concubine Shu couldn't help but be angry:

"I see that you are quite clever on weekdays, why do you have no idea at this time?"

Xiurong was helpless, so she could only be silent.

It is said that people can't do evil things, but at this time, it has reached this point, and I don't know if it's ......

"This palace can be regarded as seeing it, with this little bit of soldiers and horses of the imperial court, sooner or later it will not be able to defeat the Qin Palace, and this palace must not sit still like this!"

Concubine Shu turned back and forth in front of Xiurong, muttered a few words to herself irritably, made up her mind, and turned around and said:

"Go to Hou Ye, tell him that I want to see him!"

Xiurong suddenly heard Concubine Shu say this, and she didn't move.

Concubine Shu has already had a falling out with Hou Ye, if you go to Hou Ye at this time, will he pay attention to Concubine Shu?

Concubine Shu saw Xiurong's hesitation, and she was even more annoyed:

"You just have to go to you, I don't believe that it has come to this point, he is my own brother, he can watch me die? If that were the case, the old lady would not spare him underground!"

Xiurong could only turn around and go out and order someone to go to the Hou Mansion to ask to see the Marquis of Weibei.

Concubine Shu can think of Hou Ye at this time, which can be regarded as a clear road.

As long as the elder brother of Weibei Hou is willing to protect the concubine, then no one can take the concubine seriously, whether it is the current emperor or the future King of Qin.

Just thinking about what Concubine Shu did to the Weibei Hou Mansion many years ago, Xiurong's heart couldn't help but beat hard.

Although Wei Beihou didn't know what his sister did back then, he completely ignored Concubine Shu's belated family affection.

"Go back and tell you the concubine, people are doing it, the sky is watching, what she did back then, don't be afraid of retribution now. ”

Ever since Concubine Shu helped Xu Chengyi mess around in the palace, Wei Beihou has been dead to this sister.

In addition, it was later guessed that Princess Qin was poisoned by her, and it was determined that he drugged the emperor to make the emperor heirless, and the Marquis of Weibei really wished that he had never had this sister.

No matter which one it is, it simply wants the Xu family to be destroyed!

Such a vicious and mean person, he really never wants to see her again.

The chamberlain who went to the Weibei Hou Mansion to see him trembled and repeated the words of the Wei Bei Hou, and was grabbed by Concubine Shu and threw an incense burner and smashed her forehead.

"What does he mean by this? What retribution do I have? I did this back then, it was also because of the first emperor, and if I want to retribution, I will also repay the first emperor, what does it have to do with me?!"

Maybe it was because of her weak heart, and when she heard this, Concubine Shu was furious.

Xiurong waved his hand to let the waiter go down, but he didn't know what to say.

After all, the first emperor just hinted that it was Concubine Shu herself who preemptively made a move against Princess Qin in order to compete for favor.

Who would have thought that what everyone in the harem concubines were vying to do back then would still be counted one day!

"He is my own brother, why did he do this to me!

The more Concubine Shu thought about it, the more angry she became, but she was helpless, and cursed her brother and sister-in-law fiercely in her heart.

After Zhan Shichun heard about it, he smiled coldly, and felt that the word "retribution" said by Wei Beihou was really good.

Xu Shuning has been doing a lifetime of sin, and now she finally can't even stand it.

It seems that he doesn't need to do anything to her anymore, and dirty his own hands.

Yuan Jing has arrived in Jizhou with 30,000 horses.

Although the hastily mobilized men and horses were slightly inferior to the Qin army that sharpened their swords all the way, Yuan Jing was a military general who was diligent in training soldiers, and he could be regarded as having some ability, and he was not many times stronger than Yongchang Bo who died in Yuzhou.

The Qin army marched all the way east, and finally met a real enemy in Jizhou.

Every time I moved forward, it became more difficult than ever.

At the same time, the emperor also gave the king of Qin to the king of Dongshan in Luzhou and the king of Dong'an in Huizhou under the reminder of Zhao Shizhen.

Not to mention how much of a role these two vassal kings who don't have much troops in their hands can play, just talking about the momentum of the imperial court, it has gradually become huge.

The Qin army and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court were stuck in Jizhou for more than half a month, until the cold wind in the north became more and more cold, and the Qin army only occupied half of the land in Jizhou.

"The weather is getting colder and colder, and we must fight quickly to capture the capital of Jizhou before it snows. ”

Xiao Shaotang analyzed the current situation of the Qin army with the generals standing in the camp tent.

Most of these soldiers came all the way from the northwest, and they were not afraid of the harsh environment of the cold and the earth, but if they continued like this for a long time, it would inevitably damage the generals and shake the morale of the army.

"What do you have to do?"

"The main thing is that those bastards of the Jizhou army are cowering in the city and refuse to come out, otherwise Lao Tzu will definitely kill them!"

One of the lieutenants said hatefully.

Xiao Shaotang nodded, this is indeed a problem.

The city walls of Jizhou Mansion are wide and strong, Yuan Jing is well commanded, and the head of the city is prepared with rolling wood and fire oil all the year round, and it is really not easy for the Qin army to attack it.

Even in order to reduce casualties, Xiao Shaotang did not order the soldiers to attack these days.

"His Royal Highness, the last general said, let's attack the city gate directly, and let the princess take the lead, presumably with a giant tree can also blast it open. ”

"you, what kind of bad idea do you have, tens of thousands of men are here, how can you let the princess do such a thing!"

"Aren't I discussing with His Royal Highness......

A few people, you and I, talk about it lively, but they never put forward any serious opinions.

Indeed, Xiao Shaotang will never let Bai Chenghuan take the lead again.

That day, Cheng Huan made his hands bloody twice in order to save him, but he didn't know that the injury was on her hand, it really hurt his heart.

Now that he is so dignified, he will never let his woman suffer this kind of hardship again.

Zhao Wensong didn't speak, glanced at Zhang Shide, who was standing silently on the side, and said:

"Mr. Zhang Qian has been leading troops to fight all year round, and he must be experienced, why is he silent at this time? Could it be that he still has an opinion on His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Since Zhang Shide surrendered to the Qin army, he has always been silent, he only buries his head in the war on weekdays, and does not want to rush to kill, but he does not want to say a word about military tactics.

was ridiculed by Zhao Wensong at this time, and he just didn't hear it.

Zhao Wensong said a few more strange words, and when he still ignored him, he snorted coldly and turned his head to ignore him.

Bai Chenghuan has been sitting quietly behind the curtain and listening to their discussion, but in the end, he didn't listen to them discuss a result.

In the end, the journey was too smooth, and now that they are encountering difficulties, these people must not have adapted to it.

When Xiao Shaotang sent them in to talk to Bai Chenghuan, he couldn't help but sigh:

"These people are all generals, but none of them are handsome! I want them to use their brains well, why is it so difficult!"

Bai Chenghuan knew that Xiao Shaotang wanted to hone those people to be independent, but unfortunately not everyone was willing to use their brains.

"That's it, they were originally fierce generals, not strategists, and you really embarrassed them today, let's invite Mr. Yuan and Fifth Brother over and discuss a countermeasure seriously." ”

When she left Yuzhou, He Congmei couldn't stand Xiao Shaotang's repeated entanglements, so she had to follow them to Jizhou.

After a short time, all the people were invited over, and even Zhao Wensong was re-invited.

After a few people saw the ceremony, Mr. Yuan looked at Xiao Shaotang:

"Your Highness, please tell me what you think. ”

Xiao Shaotang and Bai Chenghuan glanced at each other before saying:

"I agree with the princess, it's all four words, surround Wei to save Zhao. ”
