How Concubine Zheng is doing in this palace, she has never cared. If she hadn't come to the door this time, she would have almost forgotten about this person.

But she was full of heart, and she was willing to take the initiative to tell the past, obviously she already had a will to die. At this moment, with Empress Dowager Xiao's personality, she will naturally not be embarrassed.

She raised her glass and said with a smile: "You say that, it really makes the mourning family ashamed." If you have any wishes, as long as the sky does not change, the mourning family is here as a guarantee, and you will definitely be satisfied. ”

She went out of the city to persuade her to live and die uncertainly, and gave her enough benefits to make her do her best.

Concubine Zheng drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, a very faint smile rose on her lips, and her eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and said: "Queen Mother, as long as the concubine sees Ya'er again, this life is enough." ”

Wei Siya, the princess born to Concubine Zheng, is the last princess of the first emperor.

After the death of the first emperor, because Concubine Zheng's grade was not enough to raise her independently, Wei Siya grew up in the princess residence in the palace, and Yu Qinglong married a little-known noble son in Beijing in the fifth year.

She is the only bloodline of Concubine Zheng, and this request is reasonable.

Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at the prince and said, "Don't worry, this matter will be handled by the prince." ”

Concubine Zheng got up and said, "The concubine thanked the Queen Mother for her kindness. ”

After dinner, the crowd dispersed.

At the gate of Yanqing Palace, looking at Concubine Zheng who was sitting on her shoulder and leaving, the prince frowned and was suspicious. He always felt that there was something wrong in this matter.

But it seems so plausible that there is really no conclusive evidence.

Empress Cao said: "Prince, relax. Even if nothing comes of it, it can't be worse than it is now. She knew her son well, and on the surface she was frank, but in fact she was suspicious and thoughtful.

The war was imminent, and she didn't want the prince to be consumed by these things.

To be honest, she was not optimistic about Concubine Zheng's move. It's just that since she is willing to try, she will just let her go.

"Mother. The crown prince motioned for the crown princess to wait in place, walked aside with Empress Cao, and asked, "How much truth do you think she said?"

"Does that matter?" Empress Cao asked rhetorically, "Even if she just wants to use this excuse to get out of the city and defect to the King of Ruyang, so what?"

The prince's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and said with a smile: "The queen mother is right, it is the son's minister." ”

Seeing that he had figured it out, Empress Cao said earnestly: "Sheng'er, the overall situation is important, and the rest are small sections." Your vision should be farther and broader. ”

"Mother, I see. The prince was taught to give gifts and retired with the princess.

The palace people carried the chariot up, and the prince waved his hand and let the chariot retreat to the side. He held the hand of the crown princess, and the two walked slowly in the cold night.

The winter night was cold, and the crown princess was so cold that she even shrunk her toes. But she was shocked to hear the secrets in the palace, which had too much impact on her heart.

This kind of grievance of the older generation, as a junior, she has no right to speak, so she can only listen silently and press it in her heart. She believes that it is the same for the crown prince.

So, they need to spend some time now digesting the news.

The husband and wife walked silently. Feeling the coolness coming from her body, the prince held her hand in his arms and warmed it.

"Your Highness. The crown princess called him softly, her voice full of gratitude and tenderness, and her eyes flashed with dependence.

was looked at by her like this, and the prince only felt pride in his chest. Holding her hand, he put it on his lips and kissed it gently, and smiled: "Don't worry, everything has me." ”

In this world, there is no one who knows him better than the crown princess and knows how to get along with him. Emperor Qinglong has never been close enough to him, and even Empress Cao, who raised him with his own hands, can't do it.

Just walking with her, surrounded by a quiet and thick night, breathing in the cold air can also make the prince's restless heart slowly settle down.

In just a few days, Emperor Qinglong died, Wei Ming rebelled, King Ruyang appeared, Concubine Zheng revealed the secret of the year, and other major events came one after another.

At this moment, the prince realized that he was still very immature, and there were many things he couldn't understand.

Speaking of the context between these things, he only vaguely sensed that there must be a connection, but he couldn't find the thread, and he didn't know how to string this series of things together.

Coupled with Wu Zhengxiang's concealment, he became more and more angry.

The prince shook his head, leaving all these troubles behind. Forget it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and there will be one to deal with.

"Tomorrow, you go and invite Princess Ya to the mansion. ”

By her age, Wei Siya was her aunt, but he didn't want to call her that.

Back then, when Concubine Zheng first entered the palace, she had to be favored by the emperor for a period of time. Later, for some reason, the first emperor snubbed her, and the little princess she gave birth to did not have any title.

But he never regarded them as family, and these princesses and princes who were not born by Empress Dowager Xiao were only divided into two categories in the prince's heart: those who were threatening and those who were not threatening.

The children of Emperor Qinglong's knees were also classified in the same way in the prince's heart.

Concubine Zheng wanted to meet her daughter before going out of the city, and he also kept an eye on it, and wanted to meet this aunt who had almost no impression. tried to figure out some of Concubine Zheng's intentions from her.

The crown princess responded softly and said, "Okay, leave this matter to me." In the past few days, His Highness has worked hard. The concubine has already prepared the medicinal soup, and after returning home, His Royal Highness will relieve his fatigue and then sleep. ”

In the past few days, Wei Ming besieged but did not attack.

The defenders of the capital did not dare to relax day by day, but they were mentally exhausted. It's like a sword that obviously hangs over the head, but if you don't cut it off for a long time, it makes people nervous.

The men and horses who went out of the city with the holy decree to ask for help also went to a few teams, including the shadow guards, the Beiya forbidden army, and the ordinary soldiers of the noble children, many suspicious soldiers just to ensure that there was always one that could reach the destination.

The prince nodded, and stepped forward in silence.

In his mind, he can't help but think about the worst outcome. How long will such a peaceful day be? The day the city is broken, that is, when he dies.

……

Songzhou, western suburbs, Hejia Zhuangzi.

The night was silent, and the slight commotion had become a thing of the past, and the Zhuangzi was quiet again. In the countryside on a winter night, even the sound of insects is so cold that it stops.

Except for the guards who patrolled with weapons, everyone fell asleep.

There was a sound of snoring coming from an inconspicuous side room, and it was clear that the people inside were sleeping soundly.

After being woken up by the man's snoring, Green Lotus couldn't fall asleep over and over, and suddenly sat up and glanced at the man next to him in disgust.

The man had a rough face, and at first glance he looked like an honest farmer who worked. got such a bright daughter-in-law, and she was like something. Even in the past two years, Green Lotus has not conceived a child, and he has never blushed with her once.
