I don't know if it's because I've been waiting for this moment for too long, or if I can't support it, at this moment, there was a mist in my eyes, blurring everything in front of me.

I only felt Pei Yuanhao's hand spasm, and clenched my hand hard.

At this time, I heard Chang Qing whisper and hurriedly ran down, and the vague figure of Dan Xi à also eagerly walked a few steps forward, and just walked in front of her, and was about to bow down, Chang Qing grabbed his arm.

"You're back, you're back"

"Queen Mother"

As soon as I heard this familiar voice, my heart seemed to hang high in the sky, and at this moment it finally fell back to the ground, and for a moment, I felt as if my whole person was about to collapse.

It's Nianshen, it's the prince Nianshen

He came back safely

At this moment, my eyes were full of tears, and I couldn't help but pour down, and I finally saw the person standing under His Majesty Dan, he was much thinner and stronger; Chang Qing grabbed his arm excitedly, and looked him up and down, for fear that he would lose a hair, or suffer a little grievance, and the deep thought of wearing plain clothes completely did not have the nobility of wearing brocade on weekdays, but revealed a kind of calmness that is rare for young people.

He still looked at Chang Qing carefully, then took a step back, and bowed to Chang Qing in a proper manner: "Sons and daughters meet the queen mother"

Chang Qing was almost in tears, at this time she was happy and relieved, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, looked him up and down a few times, and then said: "Come back, come back, go and see your father and the emperor."

At this time, Nian Shen raised his head and looked at the top of the main hall.

At this moment, the ecstasy in my heart has been like a tsunami, engulfing the whole person, but the only remaining bit of reason is the pain of Pei Yuanhao who has not let go of my hand. I could only see his mountain-like back swaying slightly, but it still stood tall, and I couldn't see what his expression was at this moment.

Nian Shen dressed up solemnly, hurriedly walked towards him, and after a while, he walked to the bottom of the steps.

Then, he bowed down respectfully: "The son of the emperor to meet his father"

His voice was not loud, but I don't know if it was because it was said above the main hall, or because of the cold wind at the moment, which spread his voice too far, at this time, all the people in the square seemed to come back to their senses, and they all fell to their knees in unison.

The hand that had been holding me tightly finally let go, and the sweaty skin was blown by the wind, bringing a burst of coolness.

Pei Yuanhao opened his mouth, but his voice was a little strangely calm, as if from beginning to end, he was really just waiting here for his son who had established meritorious service to return to Beijing, and those dangerous and thrilling things did not happen at all

"You're back. ”

"Yes, Erchen is back. ”

When he said this, both father and son seemed to be suffocating.

No one knows, but just these two short sentences of dialogue, how much effort has been exhausted.

Even a moment ago, at the moment when they entered the palace gate, my heart was still worried about what if he didn't come back, what if he was really assassinated In my mind, I even outlined in fear Chang Qing couldn't stand that blow and fainted, Pei Yuanhao ordered a strict investigation, which caused political turmoil in the future, but all these terrible imaginations, the moment they heard his voice and saw others, vanished.

He's back, he's back

The foundation of the country, the future king, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally returned safely

At this time, Pei Yuanhao stepped forward and leaned down to help him up, Nian Shen slowly stood up, looked over his father's shoulder, and looked at me.

He nodded at me gently.

"Aunt Qing. ”

With such a close distance, I can see more clearly that this young man is indeed thinner, stronger, and seems to be darker, but obviously, compared with when he left before, he is more calm and haggard.

My identity is not qualified to speak at this time, he called me, and I could only respond, tears almost flowed out, but my face was full of unsympathetic smiles.

In fact, no matter what the court is or what the political situation is, I just hope that he, this benevolent and virtuous young man, can return safely, it is enough

At this time, the ministers below had already congratulated in unison: "Welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to Beijing"

Nian Shen was shocked by the sudden voice behind him, but there was a pale look on his face, he glanced back, and then, he was silent for a while.

Chang Qing and some other women all came over at this moment.

Although he had seen the prince return safely, Pei Yuanhao's face was still very strict, without a trace of a smile, and asked: "Since it is safe and sound, why is there no news coming back along the way, the people I sent, I asked them to send a message back no matter what, even if you are safe, why not." ”

When Nian Shen heard this, he hurriedly knelt down: "Father, please calm your anger, don't blame them, it was the sons who asked them like this." ”

"What"

Pei Yuanhao's thick eyebrows frowned, Chang Qing and I listened to it, and also glanced at each other, both stunned.

It was he who asked for it

In the past two days, everyone has been panicked by the news of his "assassination", and they can't sleep comfortably, and even the court situation is almost involved in turmoil, we are all speculating about what happened to the accident, but we didn't expect that it was arranged by him himself

Doesn't he know that his safety affects the hearts of many people, and even affects the overall situation

Seeing Pei Yuanhao's face sink, Chang Qing hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a hint of reproach: "Nian Shen, why are you doing this?"

Nian Shen said: "There are two reasons why Erchen does this. First, this time, the incident happened suddenly, and the relationship was serious, the son must come back to tell his father in person, if he entrusts others, the son is worried that the matter will affect the court situation, and it will affect the father and the emperor. ”

It happened suddenly, and the words "relationship heavy" made my heart sink, and Pei Yuanhao's eyebrows also frowned slightly.

Chang Qing finally calmed down at this time, raised her head and glanced at me, and felt something faintly in her heart.

Pei Yuanhao looked at him, was silent for a long time, and then said, "What is the second reason?"

"Second reason"

This time, he didn't answer immediately, but obviously hesitated, and a painful look appeared on his face, he raised his head and looked at the concubines behind Pei Yuanhao, and then, his gaze was fixed on a person.

We followed his gaze and looked at Concubine Ning Yang Jinqiao

She was originally standing quietly in the crowd, responding to the scene, but at this time, the prince's eyes saw her, and all eyes were drawn to her at once, she immediately felt something, and stood there a little stunned.

Pei Yuanhao's brows tightened.

"What's wrong?"

Nian Shen said to him: "Father, the son has something to say to Concubine Ning." ”

Pei Yuanhao was silent and nodded.

Nian Shen slowly walked towards Yang Jinqiao, at this moment, Yang Jinqiao's face was already a little moved, like a stone statue standing there, until the prince walked in front of her, she was motionless.

Nian Shen said: "Concubine Ning, I came back this time, and I have a message, I hope to tell you in person, and you can tell Sister Ling in person." ”

"Your Highness, please speak. ”

"In order to protect me, Lord Wu was injured by the assassins and fell into the Yellow River, and his life and death are uncertain. ”

"What"

The people around were all stunned.

I only felt a thunderstorm above my head, which shook my whole body stiff, and for a while my ears lost hearing, and I couldn't hear anything, only Nian Shen's words kept echoing in my mind, and the sound was piercing

Wu Yanqiu fell into the Yellow River and his life and death are uncertain

Wu Yanqiu

How could he, how could he

At this time, Yang Jinqiao looked at him, didn't say a word, and suddenly staggered back a few steps, her palace maid Lingzhi and Wen Sisi, who was standing on the side, hurriedly reached out to help her: "Concubine Ning Niangniang be careful"

She was pale, barely holding herself up, but her whole body was shaking.

After a long while, she looked at Nian Shen: "What His Highness said is true"

Nian Shen bit his lower lip and said heavily, "Yes." ”

“”

This time, not only her, but the surrounding concubines were all stunned, and Lingzhi even reached out and hugged her tightly, for fear that she would faint.

However, Yang Jinqiao slowly calmed down.

I could hear the sound of her teeth gritting, and I could see the outline of her face clenching her teeth hard, but she just calmed down and said, "Got it." ”

After that, he stopped talking.

However, it is no longer quiet.

Wu Yanqiu, the name Wu Yanqiu is like a gust of wind, blowing everyone's hearts upset.

I was still standing there, but I felt like the world was spinning, and until this moment, I still couldn't believe what I was hearing

How can it be

As if to prove it, I subconsciously took a step forward, but I saw Chang Qing also turning his head and looking at His Majesty Dan, the team that followed Prince Nianshen back to Beijing, and sure enough, I didn't see that familiar figure, only those guards knelt in the square one by one, and didn't even dare to raise their heads.

Wu Yanqiu, the head of the imperial court, the crown prince Shaobao, he is the leader of the prince's forces arranged after Chang Yan Bai withdrew from the court bureau, and he is also the person who inherits Chang Yan Bai's ambitions, all of them are looking forward to his future expression, and even, I also know very well that the future of the court bureau is the division between him and Nangong Jinhong.

But now, he actually fell into the Yellow River, and his life and death are uncertain

How can it be

How can it

For a while, I didn't even know what else I could do, we had made so many arrangements to deal with the bad news of the prince's possible assassination, but now, knowing that it was Wu Yanqiu who had an accident, everyone was at a loss.

How so

Chang Qing's face was also pale, and Kou'er and Xing'er kept supporting her, so they barely fell, and then, she slowly walked in front of Yang Jinqiao.

Yang Jinqiao's face was not better than her.

I also walked over, trying to say something, but I couldn't say anything, I just felt tears welling up in my eyes, and I was almost about to burst the embankment.

At this time, Yang Jinqiao said with empty eyes: "A few days ago, I just went home to save my relatives, and I saw Jin Yao. ”

My heart was cut like a knife.

Then, she said, "She's pregnant." ”
