Chapter Ninety-Eight: Entering the House
"I didn't dare, but Lord Song had to ask me to go this way!" Mo You entered the room, and sat down on the brocade next to him without waiting for a greeting, looking very relaxed.
"Lord Song called you?" Qin Yue was a little surprised, she didn't know what Lord Song asked General Mo to do at this time. Seeing that General Mo seemed to be in a good mood, he should have thought of a strategy to resist the enemy.
Mo You smiled and said: "Naturally, it's a good thing! It's a great good thing! I never thought that Nanyu Kingdom would actually withdraw its troops!"
"Retirement, when is this happening?" Qin Jian was even more surprised. This is the first time they have fought each other, and although the Southern Yu Kingdom has temporarily lost, they have an army of 100,000 and have a great advantage in terms of strength. If it continues, if there are no reinforcements in Yunzhou City, it may not be clear who will kill the deer! Besides, how can the Southern Yu Kingdom be willing to return in vain if it comes to attack the city with such a huge momentum?
General Mo said: "Just now, all the 100,000 soldiers withdrew from the camp and left. Lord Song admires Miss Qin's personality, let me come to tell you this good news as soon as possible, so that you don't feel at ease. ”
Qin Yue was even more puzzled in his heart: "General Mo, forgive me for saying more, Nanyu Kingdom shouldn't have done this, could it be that they are cheating?"
General Mo pondered for a moment before saying, "It shouldn't be a fraud." According to the information I have received, there seems to be civil strife in Nanyu, and the old emperor is critically ill, so it is very possible to urgently summon the prince back to China. ”
So that's what happened.
If this is the case, it makes sense for Prince Nanyu to withdraw his troops suddenly. Compared to the supreme power, the gains and losses of this small Yunzhou City are not so important.
Late at night. Somewhere in Yunzhou City, two masked men were talking in a low voice.
"What did you say?" the man's voice rose sharply in surprise. "Feng Chen, he actually buried a secret hand in Nanyu?"
The man nodded, "Well, I'm just guessing, too. Otherwise, how could the emperor of your country suddenly become seriously ill. The prince was urgently summoned back to Yucheng, also just in case. ”
The person who spoke before suddenly laughed, "It seems that Feng Chen has grown a lot over the years. I just don't know how much he can control this time?"
The other sighed: "Feng Chen." He's not that easy to deal with. Otherwise, I wouldn't have endured it for so many years. ”
"That's right, the matter of Daigakuyama. How sure are you?"
"To be honest, I'm not sure. Feng Chen was already suspicious of me, and it would be difficult to act again. I might cancel that plan. ”
"Cancellation? No! I don't agree. ”
"Then you can do it yourself. ”
"You know, my power alone is limited. ”
"Hmph. Then you'll have to wait. Don't force me to change the person I work with. There are many people in your country who are willing to cooperate with me. ”
At the same time, in the palace of Qiyun Lake, the emperor was in a very good mood.
The withdrawal of the Southern Yu Kingdom was already expected by him, and in fact it was his handiwork. If nothing else, there will soon be a big change in Nanyu. This big change will also bring some benefits to the metropolitan government.
Hmph! They are calculating me, how can I be so easily calculated?
The emperor holds black and white in his left and right hands, and is playing games with himself.
It's been a few days now. It's just too boring. It would be nice if Yue'er was here, at least she could help herself relieve her boredom......
The emperor himself played chess with himself for a while. It's really boring, so I pushed the chessboard, stood up and walked out.
Qin Guogong also lived in this palace. That night, the Qiyun Lake Palace was indeed attacked by unknown persons, and the Duke of Qin was seriously injured for protecting the emperor.
It's just that the emperor is not as missing as rumored by the outside world, but has long been hiding in the underground secret room of the palace. It's just that not many people know where he's hiding.
The emperor wondered why Xiao Qian didn't act at such a good opportunity. Could it be that he was wrong, Xiao Qian was a loyal minister from beginning to end, and he didn't have any bad intentions?
——————————————————
The news that the emperor's whereabouts were unknown reached the capital.
In the early days, the ministers talked a lot and said everything.
Yan Yuan was also in the ranks of the early dynasty, and he knew the inside story better than others. He had already seen the play played by the emperor, so his expression was more calm than everyone else.
Next to him stood Duan Chen.
Duan Chen glanced at him and sneered: "Looking at Young Master Yan's expression, could it be that the emperor is in trouble?"
Yan Yuan said lightly: "I believe in the emperor's ability more than you. ”
Duan Chen snorted coldly, "No matter how capable a person is, when he encounters a despicable and shameless guy, an accident will happen." Hopefully this has nothing to do with you. ”
Yan Yuan didn't bother to chew his tongue with him, turned his head, and looked at the reactions of the other ministers with interest.
Duan Chen was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do. The current situation is very chaotic, there are too many things to deal with, and I really can't turn my face with him on the spot.
The crown prince sat at the top, watching the ministers below them arguing with a panicked face, and did not know how to speak.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the voice of the chamberlain, "The Queen Mother has arrived-"
With the sound of singing, the Jade Empress Dowager came in majestically from outside the main hall.
The eyes of the courtiers all looked at the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager Jade was worried and happy at this time. She was worried about her son's safety, but she also felt that she could justifiably meddle in the affairs of the court, and it was time to re-establish her prestige.
The Queen Mother stepped forward and sat down next to the prince, patted the prince's hand, and comforted: "Zhao'er, don't be afraid!
The crown prince held back his tears and nodded heavily, "Imperial grandmother, grandson is not afraid, grandson is just worried about the safety of his father." My grandson can't go to Yunzhou in person and rescue my father!"
Empress Dowager Jade replied with a smile: "Good boy!
The ministers below were busy saluting the Queen Mother.
After the queen mother appeased the crown prince, she raised her head to face the courtiers and said majestically: "Where is the secretary of the military department?"
Lord He of the Ministry of War hurriedly and quickly came out of the ranks.
The Empress Dowager Jade said: "Quickly send 50,000 soldiers and horses to Yunzhou, and be sure to find a way to find the emperor and escort him back to Beijing." Got it?"
"Yes!" Lord He ordered to retreat.
The Queen Mother's sharp eyes swept the audience, "Don't let my wife hear words unfavorable to the emperor again, otherwise I will be punished with great disrespect!"
The ministers bowed their heads in shame.
Yan Yuan didn't speak. He has received the latest news, Nanyu is in turmoil, the prince of Nanyu who led the army to attack Yunzhou has withdrawn, and the emperor who is hiding in the shadows should also be on the way to Dayue Mountain.
Let you toss it!
After going down, Yan Yuan went to a private house in the south of the city.
It was an old woman who opened the door, and after inviting Yan Yuan in, she retreated.
A pregnant woman greeted her, and it was the pregnant woman who was stopped by the emperor when he was on a trip.
The day was in full view. Xiao Qian was forced to recognize this woman and asked his subordinates to arrange her to give birth in this private house, although he knew that she had been designed. But he didn't know who designed him.
Yan Yuan said coldly to the woman at this time: "You will go to the gate of the Xiao Mansion tomorrow, and you must let Mrs. Xiao Shizi allow you to enter the door." In this way, our plan can be carried out smoothly. ”
"Yes, slave and maid at your command. The woman trembled and agreed, but there was a look of horror in her eyes.
Yan Yuan said: "Don't be afraid. Although the Xiao family has doubts. But it won't do anything to you. Maybe the Xiao family wishes to have a biological son of the son. ”
The woman let out an "um".
Yan Yuan didn't stay in the house for long, and walked out after saying a few words.
Early the next morning, as soon as Mrs. Xiao Shizi got up, she was disturbed by the discussion of the servant women below.
"The prince is not here, how can this be good?"
"The sparrow has become a phoenix. ”
"This woman has gone to shit luck, and I don't know what high incense her ancestors burned, and she actually conceived the seed of the prince. ”
"Isn't it? It's not something that ordinary women can hook. This woman didn't know what means she used, but she let the prince hide her beauty. ”
"The old lady is going crazy with her grandson. I bet. This woman will have to be carried to the room when she enters the door, and maybe she will be favored by the prince. ”
When the Lu family in the room heard these discussions, he was so angry that he tightened his veil and sat on the bed for a long time without moving.
The prince is too much!
At this time, her personal grandmother walked in and whispered in Lu's ear: "The woman came to the door and cried at the gate early in the morning, and the old lady was afraid that the impact would be bad, so she called her in for questioning." Madam, you have to be mentally prepared, that woman is likely to be left behind by the old lady, and the old lady will not let the blood of the prince flow out. ”
Lu nodded bitterly.
This situation had long been expected by her, and she had thought many times about whether to take her into the house, and when the woman gave birth to a child, she would directly pass on her as a sister-in-law to raise her, which would be better than the bleak and hopeless days now. But when the matter really came to her eyes, she felt that it was still difficult to accept it in her heart.
Shizi has never cared about himself, and he rarely has sex with him, but why can the wild woman outside ......
Lu couldn't figure it out, and because he couldn't figure it out, he was in pain.
Not long after, the eldest girl next to the old lady, Hexiang, came over to pass on Mrs. Shizi to Zhuqingtang to speak.
Lu Shi bit his lip, and he was not in the mood to clean himself up, so he put on homely clothes and went to Zhuqingtang behind Hexiang.
When he arrived at Zhuqingtang, Lu saw the woman kneeling on the ground, her belly round like a leather ball, and she was afraid that she was about to give birth. It seems that I have been with the prince for a while, but I am annoyed that I found out.
Lu Shi wanted to go up and kick her in the stomach, but she didn't dare, if she really did this, the prince would have an excuse to abandon herself.
The old lady glanced at her and said, "Don't be angry, this child is not only the flesh and blood of Qian'er, but also your child, you can't be left outside, you are an eldest woman, you must have a belly, and your mind must be open." ”
Lu Shi replied in a muffled voice: "It's all up to my mother's arrangement." ”
The old lady said to the woman kneeling on the ground, "Why don't you hurry up and say hello to your wife?"
The woman raised her head, her eyes were full of tears, and she hurriedly turned around and knelt in front of Mrs. Shizi: "Hello, madam." The slave and maid were willing to serve the lady, and only begged the lady to take in the slave and the child in the slave's womb. This child is really the flesh and blood of the master, and the master also recognizes it, and these days he places the slave and maid outside for fear of breaking the lady's heart. But the master left in a hurry and forgot to leave a home for the slave and maid. The slave and maid couldn't live anymore, so they came to the door with a cheeky face, and only begged the wife to reward the slave and maid with a mouthful of food, and wait for the slave and maid to give birth to the child!"
A call is reasonable.
Lu Shi was speechless, so he had to endure the sourness, nodded and said: "Mother is right, since it is my father's flesh and blood, it is my child." When the child is born, I will treat it as my own and raise the child well. ”
"Thank you, ma'am!" the woman kowtowed to Lu gratefully. (To be continued......)
