Beizheng Jingcheng.

In the Forbidden Palace.

The little emperor Yang Youfu worked the case, and he wrote so devotedly that he completely ignored that there were already living people in the palace who broke in. And the palace maids and eunuchs who served him all lowered their heads, eager to bury their heads in the floor tiles in front of the toes of their shoes, and they all pretended not to see the person who broke in.

"What is Your Majesty doing!"

The sharp questioning was like a muffled thunder, which exploded above the head of the little emperor Yang You, and he was so frightened that his hands trembled, and a purple hair fell on the paper, and soon became a large cloud of ink.

Yang You raised his head in a daze, staring blankly at the tall and burly middle-aged man who strode towards him, for a while, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, only the trembling young body and the lips that turned white in an instant, revealing the indescribable fear in his heart at this time.

Zhan Teng's royal clothes are colorful, and there is a three-foot Qingfeng hanging on the jade belt around his waist. Entering the forbidden palace with a sharp weapon, looking all over the Northern Zheng Dynasty and the field, there is no second person to be found. But even if he trespasses to such a point, no one dares to say a word.

Seeing the little emperor's panicked face, Zhan Teng snorted disdainfully in his heart: The emperor of the Yang family is really not as good as the first generation! is not as good as the little empress of Zhou Ting, at least she still has a little courage.

Thinking so, he strode to the little emperor's bookcase, and grabbed the letter with two lines written on it.

Yang You exclaimed in surprise because of his action, and he didn't even dare to say half a sentence of reprimand, only watched in a daze as the poor letter with ink balls fell into the hands of the thief, and his body trembled more and more.

Zhan Teng looked down on him even more, the corners of his mouth hooked contemptuously, and his gaze turned back to the letter in his hand. I only looked at it twice—

"Smack!"

The letter paper was viciously slapped back to the bookcase, and the folds on the bookcase, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and other things trembled twice. Buckled on the letter paper are the big hands with distinct knots.

"Do you want to surrender to the reverse Zhou?" Zhan Teng's voice was not high, but it was eerie.

Yang You was about to be scared to death by him, wishing that he didn't exist in this world at all at this moment, he didn't dare to answer Zhan Teng's words, he saw that Zhan Teng's other hand had been pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist. He didn't dare to raise his head to look at Zhan Teng's face, he was afraid, extremely afraid.

"My Da Zheng soldiers are fighting bloodily in front! My son Zhan Yu spared his life to resist a strong enemy for His Majesty! His Majesty did such a chilling thing in private! Zhan Teng righteously reprimanded the little emperor's ruthlessness and unrighteousness.

Yang You only felt that these words sounded extremely harsh, a traitor who ignored the king and intended to seek power and usurp the throne actually swore here to reprimand himself! Why is it so high-sounding! What about the face! Do you want more?

Although Yang You is young, he is also from a royal family, and he is in the position of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, he hates Zhan Teng and traitors, and he is powerless, how can he endure it when he says this at this moment? He couldn't care about being afraid, twisted a pair of small eyebrows, a pair of eyes were about to erupt fire, and he looked up at Zhan Teng's tall body angrily.

"I am the Emperor! The rivers and mountains of Dazheng are all mine! I can do whatever I want! ”

"Fart!" Zhan Teng interrupted his words mercilessly, and the rudeness of his mouth did not say that he took into account the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, even if he treated ordinary children, he was afraid that it would not be like this.

Yang You's little face turned pale and iron-blue, and he was red and purple by his rude and rude tone, and his small body trembled violently: He is the emperor! This thief dared to scold him!

A fierce light crossed Zhan Teng's eyes, "If you are not pushed to the throne alone, you are nothing!" There is no lonely father and son to maintain this country for you, Da Zheng has long been wiped out by the reverse Zhou! You don't say that you are grateful for Lone's kindness, but here you secretly write to Reverse Zhou to surrender! Lonely ......"

Zhan Teng said so loudly that he couldn't help but press the hilt of his sword and move forward half a step closer, like a high black wall, blocking all the light in front of Yang You's eyes.

And the people standing around him did not react at all like wood carvings and clay sculptures.

"The eldest princess has arrived!" Outside the hall, the sharp shouts of the inner prison broke the situation in the hall.

Zhan Teng suddenly woke up, approached Yang You's tall body and retreated a little, and the expression on his face was much calmer.

He knew in his heart that now was not the right time to replace him. Zheng Jun and Zhou Jun were at loggerheads, and they had to take advantage of this opportunity to establish the prestige of the Zhan Jia, so that the Zhan Jia became a hero who saved the people of Da Zheng. In this way, it is only natural for Yang Zheng to ascend to the throne in the future. Otherwise, what is not the case, it is not the work of a wise man to lose the hearts of the people in the world first.

Thinking like this, he felt that even if this little emperor had the heart to surrender to the Zhou court, with the eyes and ears he had planted in the harem of the previous dynasty, could he still let this little thing succeed?

Hum! And let him live a little longer, and one day he will have to take care of him!

Zhan Teng sneered secretly, and a respectful look appeared on his face. He first put his hands in his sleeve and quietly hid the letter from Yang You that he had taken before into his sleeve pocket. Immediately afterwards, he turned around and greeted Yang Xi, who was hurrying into the hall, and owed: "The old minister has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" ”

Yang Xi's eyes froze, glanced at him lightly, and ignored him, but walked quickly in front of Yang You, and called out "Your Majesty", and some warmth appeared between his eyebrows.

The moment Yang You heard "the eldest princess has arrived", his heart was relieved, and then a strong sense of grievance came to his heart, more like a child who had found support. He threw himself into Yang Xi's arms with red eyes, and muttered pitifully, "Auntie......"

What happened in the hall before, Yang Xi faintly heard it outside the hall. On the one hand, she hates the treacherous and domineering of the war; On the one hand, it is sad that the dignified Zheng Tianzi was bullied by his subordinates, and the subordinates of the palace did not even react at all, is it true that Da Zheng is going to die?

With a cold face, Yang Xi pulled out Yang You's small body from his arms and pressed him back to the seat that belonged to the emperor behind the bookcase.

Yang You wanted to find some comfort from his aunt, but he was ignored by his aunt, and he became more and more aggrieved in his heart. But he had always known this aunt's indifferent temperament, so he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to sit in his seat and look at Yang Xi miserably.

Yang Xi glanced around the hall, and his gaze finally fell on Zhan Teng's face, and Liang Sensen said, "You all go down!" The main palace and His Majesty have something to say. ”

Although he said this to the palace people, Zhan Teng knew that it was aimed at himself.

He arched his hand at Yang Xi and the little emperor, "That old minister has retired!" ”

He is not afraid of what tricks this aunt and nephew can play, Zuo is just a bird in a cage, even if it is the eldest princess, what can he do? Are you afraid that they will turn the sky upside down? Let her comfort the little doll! There's so much to do!

Zhan Teng retreated here, and all the palace people also retreated, and in the main hall, only the two aunts and nephews remained.

Yang Xi looked at the empty and lonely palace, and a sense of desolation passed through his heart, and he didn't dare to sigh.

Yang You was extremely uneasy, he peeked at Yang Xi timidly, and cautiously tentatively said, "Auntie......"

Yang Xi looked at him helplessly and asked in a low voice, "What did Your Majesty do?" ”

Yang You naturally knew what she was referring to, so he lowered his head weakly, and only after a while did he mutter: "I ...... I wrote to Zhou Ting......"

"What!" Yang Xi's voice raised and asked, "What letter to write?" ”

Yang You's head hung lower, "I, I want and Zhou Ting...... Zhou Ting spoke peace......"

"You!" Yang Xi gritted his teeth angrily and said, "Peace? You want to surrender to Zhou Ting! ”

Yang You's eyes widened in horror, and he eagerly defended: "Auntie! I'm not greedy for life and afraid of death! Not really! I...... I hate him! ”

Yang Xi frowned. Who does the so-called "he" refer to, and she doesn't know? What the little emperor did was nothing more than to borrow the hand of Zhou Court to kill the old thief. But—

"Just to hate him, do you want to take Da Zheng's country!" Yang Xi asked angrily.

Yang You burst into tears and said, "But what can I do? The prince's brother was killed by him...... He—he's going to kill me, too!" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head and met Yang Xi's eyes earnestly, "Auntie! He will take away our Yang family! I'd rather give it to my enemies than let the inheritance of my ancestors fall into his hands! ”

"You'er......" Yang Xi's eyes were filled with wetness. This move is simply a jade burning!

She was sad and sad, approached Yang You, and stroked the crown on his head, "You'er, listen to your aunt's words, don't do stupid things." I still have more than 200,000 military horses in Da Zheng, and Da Zheng will not completely fall into his hands......"

Yang You looked at her with a pained expression, "But, auntie, will they really be loyal to me?" Do we really have another chance? ”

Yang Xi's eyes were leisurely, a little fluttering, "Maybe, I can only do my best......"

Zhan Teng left the Forbidden Palace, originally wanting to take his subordinates back to the office to deal with official business. Unexpectedly, halfway through, the deputy head of the mansion hurried to meet him, leading a few attendants, hurrying up his horse and whipping, only sweating profusely, and the joy on his face could not be concealed no matter what.

"Congratulations to the prince! Congratulations to the Lord! When the deputy chief saw Zhan Teng from afar, he rolled his saddle and dismounted, and rushed forward to say goodbye.

When Zhan Teng heard this, his expression perked up, and he asked urgently, "What's the matter?" ”

The deputy chief manager said with a smile: "As soon as you went to court in the morning, the side princess had a fetus, and a little boy was born two quarters of an hour ago!" ”

Zhan Teng was overjoyed, shouted "good", and immediately ordered the deputy chief pipe: "You go back to the house immediately, just say that it means lonely, the princess has worked hard!" After Gu finished his official business, he immediately went back to the house to see their mother and son! ”

The deputy chief manager promised neatly, but in his heart, he thought: The three words "side princess" have become "princesses" in the mouth of the prince. This is another little boy, oh my god in this palace, I'm afraid it's going to change!

Zhan Teng got the good news, and happily turned around in the same place. At this moment, he thought of Zhan Yu, the eldest son who had run away from the house with Zhou Jun in the distance, and he seemed to feel less angry. In addition to not being so angry, it seems that there has been a subtle change in the mentality of this eldest son-

Do you like to fight so much? Then go for it! If you don't go to the front line to fight, do you still have to eat idle meals in the house? Hey! With such a fierce general, even the little emperor of Zhou Ting can be injured like that, why can't he protect his own young brother who has just come to the world?

Zhan Teng snorted between his noses, feeling that this son was not so much of an eyesore, and he was helpless again. It's just that the archers and horses are skilled and proficient in the art of war, and they have been frequently defeated and retreated in several attacks on the base camp of the Zhou army, so it won't be the same, right?

Yesterday, I got the secret protection of the scout, saying that the little emperor of the Zhou court is now recuperating somewhere? Why not start with her?

Zhan Teng thought so, and his smile became more and more cold.

Yu Wenrui's foundation is good, she practiced martial arts when she was a child, and she has been taken care of very well in the palace for many years. With such a foundation, the serious injuries on her body are also much faster than ordinary people. Especially when she wakes up every day, she can see Jing Yan, and she is in a happier mood. As soon as the mood is happy, the recovery of this injury will be a thousand miles in a day.

Her energy is also much more abundant than when she was first injured, and the most obvious manifestation is that the time to sleep is getting shorter and the time to wake up is getting longer. She still can't leave the bed, she is bored every day, but fortunately Jing Yan accompanies her to talk.

Yu Wenrui pestered Jing Yan many times about how he knew that he was injured and rushed to Beizheng, but Jing Yan never gave her an answer. This made Yu Wenrui even more scratching his liver, and he always felt that there was an extremely important matter in his heart that could not be solved.

Jing Yan was afraid that she would cause trouble for no reason, and now for the sake of her body, she couldn't be harsh on her, so she read the military report sent every day to her, which also meant that she always knew the battle ahead.

"Hey! This Zhan Yu is also stupid enough! How many times have you attacked us? "Yu Wenrui sighed as if sorry, "If I were him, I would have been killed by a head-butt!" Pigs are stronger than him! ”

Jing Yan looked at her waving her right arm, wrinkling her nose, and looking disgusted, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching: How many soldiers and horses does Zhan Yu have, and how many soldiers and horses does Wang Jun have? If this is the case, Zhan Yu will win the battle, and everyone will not have to live with a face!

She wanted to bang Yu Wenrui, but when she saw her tightly wrapped left cheek, she held back again.

The day before yesterday, while Yu Wenrui was asleep, Chai Qi had changed the medicine there. As soon as Jing Yan saw the hideous place, tears fell from his eyes. She didn't dare to imagine what would happen if she had no worries about falling such a scar. Therefore, when she faced Yu Wenrui again, her heart couldn't help but soften a little.

Yu Wenrui noticed that Jing Yan was staring at his lost appearance, and that expression contained not only concern, but also something else, which seemed to be some kind of indescribable emotion. She moved her body towards Jing Yan, took Jing Yan's hand with her right hand, and said softly, "Don't worry, it will get better soon." ”

Since seeing Jing Yan again after being seriously injured, Yu Wenrui has never called her "sister-in-law". It seems that Jing Yan doesn't care much about this matter. What makes Yu Wenrui even happier is that as long as the two of them are alone, Jing Yan never calls himself a "mourning family" anymore, and he only calls "me" every time, and he doesn't know whether it is intentional or unintentional.

Jing Yan sensed that Yu Wenrui was comforting herself, smiled at her, and let her take one of her hands and open a letter with the other.

"Mr. Pei said that the Barbarian Country is not very peaceful."

Since Jing Yan came to Beizheng, Mr. Pei will report to her every big and small thing and every move. This Yu Wenrui knows, and she is curious that-

"The Barbarian Country? They're also here to join in the fun? Or was he instigated by Beizheng? ”

Jing Yan shook his head and said, "At present, it is not known the reason. However, Mr. Pei said in the letter that the queen mother had arranged very properly, on the one hand, to send eloquent people to the barbarians to lobby, and on the other hand, the generals would lead troops to the border to deter the barbarians. ”

Jing Yan paused, and said softly: "Mr. Pei said that it was the British prince who took the initiative to ask the queen mother for help and went to the land of barbarians to deter the barbarians. The Queen Mother agreed. ”

Yu Wenrui pursed his lips and was silent.

The British prince is Jing Heng, he is the uncle of the first emperor, and he is an important minister in the court, the British prince Jingzi Qiao has gradually entrusted all the affairs of the palace to him in recent years, he has not led troops for a long time, not to mention that he went to the barbarian land in person, and did something that an ordinary general can do? It's really a knife to kill chickens. And he took the initiative to ask for help.

There is only one reason for this: Jing Jiayue's disaster is too big, so big that it makes the Jing family panic. Jing Heng, this is to atone for Jing Jiayue.
