Someone in the crowd immediately screamed, but the closest to Chu Xue was only Yan Ling, Yan Ling saw this, and rushed forward to shoot down the opponent's sword, but the assassin was too strong, although the direction was missed, but the sword still grazed the person's body with blood, and Yan Ling's arm was injured.

The assassin was about to stab again, but was stopped by the guards who rushed forward, and a cold light flashed, and in an instant, the assassin's chest was pierced, and he was completely killed.

Chu Xue hurriedly covered the children's eyes, and the pale Yanling looked at it and met two anxious eyes, it was Lu Fang.

There was a royal doctor on duty in the palace, and when she saw that Yanling was injured, Chu Xue hurriedly ordered someone to pass it on, but before the imperial doctor arrived, the wound on her arm was still bleeding, which made people tremble.

"Yan Ling?"

Several voices exclaimed her name at the same time, all of them were partners who got along with her day and night, such as Ruyue, such as her master Chu Xue, but there was obviously a male voice in that voice, everyone was stunned, Yanling herself was also surprised, and when she looked up, she saw Lu Fang, who had returned to her after cleaning up the assassins, with an anxious face.

Before Yanling could say anything, the imperial doctor rushed over and began to bandage her, and everyone's attention was focused on her injuries.

The assassin was determined to get rid of Chu Xue's mother and son, and the short sword in his hand went with all his might, so Yanling's wound was shocking, and the long one was almost broken, although this girl didn't even cry out in pain, her face was pale, and her lips were almost bloodless, Chu Xue asked urgently, "How is it, how is the injury?" ”

The imperial doctor replied while applying hemostatic medicine to Yanling, "Hui Niangniang, the wound is not shallow, fortunately, it has not reached the muscles and bones, and after more than a month, it will be able to recover." ”

Chu Xue was a little relieved. Seeing that her face was full of anxiety, Yan Ling weakly persuaded: "Master, you, don't worry, the slave and maid have nothing to ......"

"Don't talk anymore, recuperate." Chu Xue hurriedly ordered.

Yan Ling had no choice but to nod her head in response, and her eyes turned to Lu Fang to avoid suspicion because she exposed her arms, and she didn't know if she had telepathy, she felt that the tall back seemed to move slightly.

Because of such an incident, the trip back to the palace had to be postponed for a few hours, and it was already twilight when I returned to Yufu Palace. Chu Xue first arranged for Yanling to rest before having dinner with the children. Song Qi and Song Ning were worried about their mother who was still sick, and after going to ask the Queen Mother for peace, they hurried back to Yaohua Palace.

And Song Chen has been busy in the Qinzheng Hall until late at night.

This time Xu Jilin was able to attack the palace gate, the defense of the capital was indeed a big mistake, and it was found out after finding out that there was also a traitor in the Beijing Health Division, that is, the commander who took over his position after Qin Yuan's transfer, although this person had died in the rebellion, but this problem could not be ignored. This prompted Song Chen to make up his mind and send a message to strictly investigate the remnants of the Xu clan in the DPRK.

When he was temporarily busy with the business at hand, he was surprised to find that it was already late at night, so he got up and dared to go to Yufu Palace.

The children had already slept, experienced a frightening during the day, and were more or less frightened, Chu Xue coaxed them all over, and went to see Yanling again, and then returned to the dormitory. She stepped in with her front foot, and Song Chen's back foot also arrived, and before she could say a word, the two came to hug tightly. Before he went down the mountain to return to the palace first, she didn't know how much she was concerned, for fear that what would happen, her life had just been completed, and she didn't want to lose the most important person. And he is not, so he left almost half of the elite soldiers in the palace the night before, preferring to take risks himself than let her and the children have any mistakes.

"Your Majesty," her eyes were wet, "and I'm finally safe." ”

He sighed, "Always put me in danger. ”

She shook her head, this road was destined to be like this from the beginning, following him, walking on the blade of power, there would naturally be risks, but if there was no him, without this taste, when would the day when my father would be wronged?

So, it's always better to gain than to lose, after all, before I met him, fate was already so cruel.

Hugging each other for one night, the next day, life returned to normal, the king was still in the early dynasty, and the queen took care of the harem.

Xu Jilin, who regarded himself as a hero, wanted to fight to the death, but the net was not broken, but he was sure to die. In the early days, the king convicted him of rebellion and framing of loyalty, and he was sentenced to death three days later without even having to go to court.

Rebellion is a felony, and it should have been beheaded all over the house, but Nian is also a descendant of Pei Guogong's family, and there is Song Chi and Song Qian, so he only sent the adult men in his house to prison and beheaded them, and the rest of the women, children, and children were exiled, which can be regarded as the greatest mercy.

In fact, if he didn't take the last risky move, it was only him who died, and there were two princes and nephews, his Xu family would not be so miserable, but he was too reckless, thinking that even if he died in battle, it would be better than being beheaded under the executioner, but he still couldn't escape this ending after all.

In fact, his move is not without the possibility of winning, but unfortunately, the person he poured his hopes into did not meet his wishes, this is something he can't understand at all, Song Chi didn't want to sit in that seat at the beginning, even if he threatened Gu Pingjiao, none of the Song Chi brothers stood under him.

The night before the execution, in the dark prison, a man walked in.

Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, the man on the withered grass opened his eyes with some difficulty, and finally saw clearly that the gorgeous patterns on the women's floor-sweeping robe in front of him, even if the lights in the cell were dim, those golden threads and auspicious patterns still reflected a dazzling light, just like a phoenix after nirvana, which made people have to pay attention.

Xu Jilin raised his eyes and looked, sneering with difficulty on his bloodstained face, "It's you?" ”

Chu Xue didn't answer in a hurry, just looked at him coldly, and then heard him ask again: "The queen mother is here to see Ben Hou's jokes?" ”

She curled the corners of her lips, but there was no warmth in her smile, "Master Hou is now here, are you still worried about being laughed at by others?" Tomorrow will launch the noon gate beheading, I am afraid that the people of the whole capital will come to watch, dare to ask the Hou Ye, from a hero who dominates the battlefield to a criminal minister who is spurned by thousands of people, how does it feel? ”

He stared at him, suddenly realized something, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

"Didn't Master Hou guess the identity of this palace a long time ago?" Chu Xue stared at him, "Since the Hou Ye and my Yue family have a relationship, you and I are old acquaintances, and this palace specially came to give the Hou Ye a ride." So far, does Master Hou regret it? ”

"Regret what?"

"I regret the evil things you have done, if you don't frame the Yue family, the Xu family has the founding general, the queen of the world, and you, the marquis who everyone wants to climb, should not have come to this point anyway. Your family is ruined, your sons will accompany you to die, and your descendants will be exiled forever...... Won't you regret it? ”

She coldly listed his fate one by one.

But seeing Xu Jilin suddenly laughing, after laughing, he said indignantly: "Yue Lan, Yue Lan, what's so good about him?" He is a lowly poor boy, and if he has nothing, he can make her follow willingly, what good is he about? Ben Hou can't compare to him......"

"You can't compare anywhere!" Chu Xue stopped him sharply, "You can't even compare to the dust on the soles of his shoes." You are a sinner and will bear eternal infamy, but he is the god of war, and he will be forever recorded in history and respected by the world! Everything you had at that time was just given by your father, if you were also from a poor family, would you be able to have the same achievements as him? So no matter how many times you do it all over again, my mother won't choose you! ”

Xu Jilin was stunned, staring straight at the face that was extremely similar to the woman in his dream, and suddenly felt sad.

At that time, she must have hated herself to death, so she didn't even give her a chance, preferring to die with her pregnancy and accompany Yue Lan......

Yue Lan......

Thinking of that person, thinking that he had finally lost in his hands in this life, resentment surged again, he stared at Chu Xue gloomily, and suddenly asked: "You are really the remnant of the Yue family, you say these words like this, aren't you afraid that he will know?" ”

"If he doesn't know, do you think I'll be able to get into this place?"

She looked at him coldly, smiled wickedly, and then turned away from the dark, filthy place.

At noon on the second day, Xu Jilin, a rebellious minister and thief, committed several serious crimes and was pushed out of the noon gate and beheaded for public display.

The news came, she temporarily comforted her father's spirit in the Buddha Hall, Song Chen had already issued a decree to clear his father's grievances, and posthumously sealed his loyalty, not only in Weizhou for the Yue family to build a tomb, but also aimed at the capital also built a loyal hall, dedicated to commemorating, it is expected that it will be completed in less than a few months. In any case, she knew that her father and brother had spirits in heaven, and she knew that they must have seen it.

~~

After the culprit Xu Jilin beheaded the public, the turmoil finally subsided.

And after the court calmed down, Song Chen remembered one thing, a rather strange thing, since Xu Jilin wanted to support Song Chi before, then Song Chi must have known, why didn't he inform him in advance and didn't come until the last moment? After the abolition of the prince, he knew that Song Chi didn't care about this throne, so could it be said that Song Chi was pinched by him?

In fact, Chu Xue knew about Gu Pingjiao, even if Song Chi didn't take the initiative to tell him, but when she heard that there was a favorite concubine in his house, she could guess that there was a □□ that would not leave ten, after all, Song Chi had refused to choose a concubine in recent years, and he refused to marry a side concubine, seeing that Song Qian was about to get married, he had not moved. is so indifferent, there is a person hidden in the house, so who this favorite concubine is, she must be able to think of it.

However, Song Chen was suspicious at this time, it must be that the paper couldn't contain the fire, in order to make his father dissipate his anger to the greatest extent, Song Chi decided to ask his stepmother for help again.

After all these years, especially Gu Pingjiao's incident, Song Chi has trusted Chu Xue very much, and he told the truth about the incident, including how he took her to the palace and their current situation.

When she heard that Gu Pingjiao was pregnant, Chu Xue smiled and said with emotion: "So you will be a father soon?" ”

Song Chi is already nineteen years old, and it is not too early to be a father at this age, but because it has always been a matter of bullying the king, Song Chi is not as easy as her at this time, so he only bowed his head and said yes, with a hidden worry on his face.

Chu Xue understood his worries, after going through so much, she could see Song Chi's sincerity to Gu Pingjiao, and she also had the heart to fulfill her lover, and said: "This matter, Rong Bengong try it, no matter what, take care of her first, and those who have a body should not think too much." ”

If she can respond, it means that there is hope, Song Chi showed joy and thanked her again.

So that night, Chu Xue planned to have a showdown with Song Chen.

It has been so long since that incident, and now that the father and son have experienced great events side by side, Chu Xue believes that Song Chen should be able to forgive Song Chi, take 10,000 steps back, Gu Pingjiao is still pregnant with Song Chi's child in her womb, no matter what, he will always care about that innocent life.

With the bottom of her heart, she was not so worried, and when she returned to the couch in the evening to bathe and change clothes, she pinched the man's shoulders and casually mentioned, "The concubine has a happy event." ”

Song Chen turned the page of the book in his hand and asked, "Oh? What kind of happy event is it, let's hear about it? ”

She was puzzled again: "But can the emperor promise the concubine one thing first, no matter what the concubine will tell you later, don't be angry, okay?" ”

Song Chen paused, then put down the book and looked at her with interest, "Xue'er is talking to me about the conditions?" ”

She hooked the corners of her lips slightly, but she didn't see the look of fear, "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

He raised an eyebrow, "Say it." ”

Seeing that he was in a good mood, she coughed, knelt on the bed, and said solemnly: "The concubine has hidden something from the emperor, and the concubine knows the concubine in the Chi'er Mansion, and she also helped them hide it from the emperor......

He frowned slightly, thought for a while, and probably guessed who she was talking about, so he lowered his face and didn't say anything.

She bit her lip, pulled his arm and coaxed: "Your Majesty, the two of them are actually sincere, and the concubines know that you are a benevolent Ming Jun and will make lovers dependents." Besides, you just promised your concubine that you wouldn't be angry. ”

"Well, your hat is buttoned up too much, according to what you said, if I don't agree, I will become a faint king?"

Although he still didn't show any joy, his tone was obviously relaxed, so she smiled and coaxed further, "How so? The concubine knows that you will definitely agree, and besides, the concubine's good news has not had time to report to you. ”

He continued to raise his eyebrows, "What's the good news, let's hear it first." ”

"Chi'er is about to become a father, and you are about to become the emperor's grandfather." She winked and smiled.

I saw that he was stunned, but he was really surprised.

She further interceded for those two people, "You see, Xu Jilin kidnapped her at that time to force Chi'er to oppose you, but at the critical moment, Chi'er still stood under your formation, so this is your own flesh and blood." The concubine understands that you are a good father and will definitely fulfill the child, right? ”

The steps are all paved to this, what else can Song Chen say? Thinking that Chi'er's position as the prince was gone, he felt that it was time to compensate for this child. He said: "The queen is so smart, has she already thought of what to do?" ”

She said slyly: "The concubine does have some ideas, but everything depends on the emperor's intentions." Seeing that he was interested in listening, she continued: "Since even the child is about to be born, the concubine is pondering, it is really pitiful to hide without a name and no share, you see, Chi'er is unwilling to marry the princess, it is better to take the position of a side concubine first, and can also help Chi'er take care of some palaces, it is good for this child who is about to be born, what do you think?" ”

Song Chen didn't express his position directly, but asked: "But the concubine always has to be included in the sect, what should I do with her identity?" ”

She smiled gently, "As long as the emperor agrees, identity is not a difficult matter." ”

She had already thought about it, as long as he agreed, she could let her brother give Gu Pingjiao the title of a righteous daughter, anyway, the background of the side concubine didn't have to be too high, besides, Song Chen agreed, would anyone object? The queen mother loves her grandchildren the most, and now she has a great-grandson, even if she sees her one day, they are all a family, and it will not be too ugly.

Song Chen sighed and pinched her face, "It seems that the queen has already arranged everything, and she is waiting for me to enter the urn." ”

She hurriedly lay down in his arms and further coquettishly, "The emperor should not wronged the concubine, the concubine is obviously dedicated to you." ”

Of course he understood, if it weren't for him, would Xue'er have bothered so much to find a way to consummate Song Chi? Even if you don't talk about Song Chi, when she was married to Song Qian a few years ago, she respected the child's wishes to the greatest extent, and in the final analysis, she is indeed a good stepmother.

After the words were spoken, he no longer stiffened his face, hugged the nephrite in his arms and sighed: "It's so fast! In a blink of an eye, Chi'er is going to be a father, and I am old. ”

He is only forty in two years, and it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that he is old now, she gently stroked his face and coaxed: "The emperor is not old at all, you are the best time now." ”

Xu is her incense caused trouble, the gentle touch is obviously on the face, but the body is excited, he turned over suddenly, pressed the beauty under him, and said in a dumb voice: "Xue'er is right, with you by my side, I can't bear to ...... old age"

She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling to meet his deep kisses, deeply loving......

~~

Two months later, the Zhongyi Hall in Beijing was completed, and in the spring of the following year, a family was ushered in in front of the Zhongyi Tomb in Weizhou.

Yingyue Mountain is guarded by secret guards all around, and although the few people in front of the tomb are dressed in ordinary clothes, it is still difficult to hide their extraordinary dignity.

Yue Wen lit a burst of fire paper, and said softly: "Dad, mother, brother, I'm Wenwen, I'm back......" After more than ten years away from home, she returned to her homeland today, and finally knelt in front of her father and mother's relatives, she couldn't help choking for a while, and then said: "Your revenge has been avenged, I found a person, he treated me very well, you can rest in heaven, don't worry about me anymore." ”

Several small figures surrounded her, Le'er took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, An An obediently snuggled her, Xuan'er was silent for a while, and said: "Mother......"

Weifu out of the palace, this is said in advance, you can only call father, mother, you can't just call your father and queen.

She slowed down for a while, and whispered to Le'er: "There are mother's relatives lying here, can Le'er kowtow with her younger brothers and sisters?" ”

Le'er nodded and hummed, Xuan'er and An An also followed, and the three children knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Song Chen was on the side, without words or obstruction.

After a long time, he also walked over and said softly: "The general's wife has a spirit in the sky, I will treat your daughter well, please rest assured." ”

The sunset in the distance is like fire, and the mountains and rivers are silent.

I still remember that year, at the foot of Yanxia Mountain, you and I once said that the grass is as tough as silk, and the rock has not been transferred. 166 Reading Network
