Chapter 99: Stability

It was already the next morning when Ran Ning woke up, and she was the only one left in the room, but the smell of medicine on Zhong Su's body was still there. As soon as Ran Ning turned her head, she saw the sachet placed next to the pillow, and she didn't have to guess to know that it was left to her by Zhong Su.

There was still some soreness on his body, but it was not in the way, Ran Ning held the sachet and rubbed it for a while, before shouting outside the door: "Bizhu." ”

"Huh!" Bizhu heard Ran Ning call her, and immediately entered the house, "Young lady, you're awake." Bizhu's little face flushed, and at first glance, she was happy for Ran Ning.

"Hmm. When did Xianggong leave? Ran Ning asked.

"I left just after dawn, and I sat on the edge of the bed and watched you for a while before leaving." Bizhu smiled.

"Hmm." Ran Ning smiled, Beixin's army is waiting for Zhong Su, Zhong Su can't be immersed in the love of his children, Ran Ning understands this very well, Zhong Su left a sachet is also a kind of thoughtfulness, and now at this time, we still have to focus on the overall situation.

"Young lady, the slave maid has boiled hot water, do you want to bathe?" Bizhu asked.

"Okay." Ran Ning nodded. Zhong Su has a war to do, and all she has to do is take care of herself and wait for Zhong Su to come back.

Xiya originally took three cities, but now two were beaten back by Zhong Su, and King Ning naturally couldn't sit still and came to supervise the battle in person. In the next two months, the Beixin army completed a big reversal, not only snatching back the last city, but also making persistent efforts to grab the two cities in the West Cliff.

King Ning is indeed brave, but compared to Zhong Su, who is no longer troubled by internal forces, he is still a small thing.

The momentum of the Beixin army made the Xiya Emperor also a little panicked, it was originally King Ning's idea to start a war against Beixin, and the battle situation was indeed very good at the beginning, which made him very satisfied. But since Zhong Su came, everything has changed, even King Ning has been beaten and retreated, which really makes him feel frightened, and at the same time he begins to blame King Ning for his recklessness and ignorance.

Chu Chuan was not in a hurry to return to China, and followed Zhong Su to fight along the way, and in addition to helping, he also formed a good friendship with Zhong Su and the six princes. This will also be beneficial to the cooperation between the two countries in the future.

Although Ran Ning did not enter the barracks, she also followed Zhong Su along the way. Zhong Su captured a city, and she rented a residential courtyard with Zunchen and Shen Feng, although she was in the midst of war, but she also experienced the customs of the West Cliff.

Zhong Su will come to Ran Ning when he is resting, the two of them talk, Zhong Su is concerned about Ran Ning's recovery, and the newlywed Xiao Biesheng behind the round house also makes the two more and more sweet.

Emperor Beixin received good news one after another, and he was in a good mood, and he was more considerate of the virtuous concubines, and always praised Zhong Su's ability in front of the virtuous concubines, and also praised the six princes for growing up. The virtuous concubine smiled and responded, seemingly considerate, but her heart was not as close to the emperor as before. The robbery of the six princes transporting grain and grass, if it hadn't made the emperor sick, I don't know what the result would have been. There are no fathers and sons in the royal family, and this is not wrong at all.

Emperor Xiya seems to have given up on King Ning, and he can't keep up with it in the later period, whether it is grain and grass or military strength. In the end, King Ning was beheaded by Zhong Su in the camp of Xiya, and the next day Emperor Xiya sent envoys to sue for peace.

Before King Ning died, Zhong Su asked about his deal with King Hong, King Ning knew that his death was coming, and he didn't hide it anymore, he told the whole thing, and under the persecution of Zhong Su, he wrote down the matter as it was, and the letter of collusion between him and King Hong was also handed over, and Zhong Su left him with a whole corpse, which can be regarded as giving face.

The course of the incident is consistent with Ran Ning's original guess, the eldest prince also has his own ambitions, so he ended up like this, there is nothing to sympathize with.

The weather is hot, and Ran Ning's whole person begins to become cowardly, with no energy, no appetite, and more time to sleep, even when he wakes up, he often dozes off.

The agreement to sue for peace in Xiya still needs to be finalized by the emperor, so Beixin and Xiya are now in a state of temporary truce, and Zhong Su also went to see Ran Ning after dealing with the matter at hand.

"You don't look good." Zhong Su said. In the summer, there are people who will lose some weight, but like Ran Ning, who is not only lighter, but also has a not very good complexion, it is not normal.

"It's fine." Ran Ning smiled slightly, "It's hot, and I don't sleep well, and my face is almost there." ”

It's not as good as in the house, there is no ice for Ran Ning, you can only rely on a fan to cool down, but it doesn't have much effect.

At this time, Bizhu brought the freshly made lotus leaf lotus seed soup, which is the most effective way to clear the heat and remove the heat in summer, Ran Ning also likes it, and can drink a lot every day. Because there is no ice, the most you can do is use well water to calm down, so it is not too cold and it is comfortable to drink.

It's nothing that Ran Ning likes to drink this, it's not good to use it instead of food. Zhong Su put down the spoon and said to Xiao Wu, "Go and ask Master to come over." ”

"Yes." Xiao Wu should go as he responded.

Ran Ning looked at Zhong Su, a little puzzled.

Zhong Su said: "Let the master show you, although the heat is strong, but you can't eat well." ”

Now that Xiao Wu has gone, Ran Ning has no objection.

After a while, Zunchen came over.

"Master, you can take Ran Ning's pulse. If you continue to lose weight like this, I'm afraid you'll be so thin that you'll be out of shape before autumn. Zhong Su asked Zunchen to sit down and said.

Zunchen also felt that Ran Ning had lost a lot of weight during this time, so he reached out and checked her pulse.

After a while, Zunchen got up and said to Xiao Wu: "Go outside and ask for a doctor." ”

"Yes." Xiao Wu didn't ask much, and hurriedly went.

"Master, what's wrong with Ran Ning?" Zhong Su asked hurriedly. He saw that the master's expression was quite calm, and there should be no big problem, but if this is the case, why do you need to go outside to ask for a doctor?

Zunchen looked at Ran Ning, then at Zhong Su, and said, "Ran Ning is pregnant." ”

When Ran Ning heard this, her hand shook, and she almost knocked over the bowl containing lotus leaf and lotus seed soup.

Zhong Su was also surprised, he never thought that Ran Ning was pregnant.

Zunchen looked at these two completely inexperienced people and said, "I have no achievements in this area, so I have to ask a serious doctor to come over and see what needs to be regulated." ”

"Yes." Zhong Su was busy responding, and hurriedly asked Bizhu to take away the lotus leaf lotus seed soup, after all, this thing was still a little cold, and he was afraid that Ran Ning would not be good for his health if he ate too much.

Such a surprise also made Ran Ning come back to her senses a lot, and after confirming that this was not a dream, the joy in her eyes was overflowing.

Zhong Su touched Ran Ning's hair and said, "Be careful, don't move." ”

"Hmm." Ran Ning nodded obediently and waited for the doctor to come over.

After a while, the doctor was invited by Xiao Wu. After diagnosing the pulse, it was determined that she was pregnant, and it was just over a month, and when she was still unstable, she needed to give birth and nourishment, and she must not be tired. After that, he prescribed some prescriptions for the fetus, and at the request of Zhong Su, wrote a recipe suitable for summer.

After sending the doctor away, Zhong Su hurriedly carried Ran Ning to the bed to rest, Ran Ning was not in a hurry now, and Zhong Su was not ready to let her go back to Beijing to recuperate for the time being.

Ran Ning touched her flat lower abdomen and felt very amazing. The arrival of this child was not what she and Zhong Su expected, but it was indeed a surprise, she would treat herself and her child well, and wait for him to be born safely.

Zhong Su held Ran Ning's hand and said, "I will take good care of you and the child." ”

"Hmm." Ran Ning smiled and lay on the bed honestly, her sleepiness was still very heavy, but the drowsiness of pregnancy brought her more happiness, which made her look forward to the birth of this little guy even more.

Before the reconciliation agreement was signed, the secret guards who stayed in the capital hurriedly came to report that King Hong had rebelled!

This news surprised everyone and made it somewhat understandable. After all, King Ning is dead, and King Hong has no helpers, so I'm afraid the situation is not too good. Zhong Su has not yet returned to Beijing, and the matter of King Hong's collaboration with the enemy has not yet been revealed to the emperor, rather than being exposed to being passive at that time, it is better for him to take the initiative to rebel, and there is still a little more hope.

"What now?" Yuan Hengyang asked with some sorrow.

Now they are all gathered in Zhong Su's tent to think about ideas. At this time, it is not realistic to go back with a large army to rescue the driver, so many people, even if it is fast, it is not as fast as the speed of King Hong's attack on the palace.

"At this time, the six princes had better rush back to the capital, just in case." Du Muyi said.

The six princes went back, on the one hand, let the emperor know that the six princes were worried about the emperor and wanted to go to the rescue, on the other hand, in case of an accident and both sides were defeated, the six princes could also take advantage of the situation to ascend the throne and take advantage of the time and place.

"Well, I also want to go back to Beijing as soon as possible." The sixth prince said. He was not for the throne, but worried about his mother and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Once King Hong succeeds, the first people to suffer are his mother and grandfather's family.

"The matter at the border pass is not over, and it is not appropriate to bring back some soldiers from the border pass." Yuan Hengyang didn't know what to do to be the most suitable.

"I can escort the six princes back to Beijing." Chu Chuan took the initiative to propose. He brought a lot of people this time, although he helped Zhong Su fight and injured a few, but they were all minor injuries and were not in the way.

"To be protected by His Royal Highness, Di Yao is grateful." The Sixth Emperor thanked his son Chuchuan.

"It's too obvious for the sixth prince to say this, as long as you don't think I interfere in Beixin's state affairs." Chu Chuan's identity is sensitive, and some things do have to be thought twice.

The sixth prince hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Your Highness is benevolent and righteous, and has helped me a lot, how can it be said that it is interference?" "The sixth prince has a very good impression of Chu Chuan, and he really thanks him from the bottom of his heart.

"Actually, to say something selfish, I also hope that the sixth prince can inherit the throne, which is really good for me Nanyan, and I can sit on the throne safely." Chu Chuan said with a smile.

"Yes, if I succeed to the throne, with a neighboring emperor like Your Highness, I can worry less about many things." The sixth prince answered.

Zhong Su put down the teacup and said, "Then Chu Chuan will take someone to go with me and the six princes." ”

"You want to go back?" Yuan Hengyang was a little surprised. But looking back, it's reasonable.

"Well, I'll leave it to you and Mu Yi here, Ran Ning won't go back for the time being, and you have to take care of it more. You don't have to worry about the army, I don't have to bring any of the soldiers here except for the people from Chuchuan. Zhong Su said.

"How's that going to work?" The capital is dangerous, what is the difference between bringing so few people and sending them to death?

Zhong Su hooked the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Aren't you now?" I didn't bring any of my soldiers. ”

These words stunned Yuan Hengyang, he really didn't find out about it.

"So the soldiers we brought this time are not enough for the emperor's holy decree. My soldiers were hidden in my father's camp by me to defend against this day. "Starting a war from the West Cliff to Beixin, after Ran Ning reminded him to make arrangements early, he made preparations in advance to prevent such a hand.

"You're really ......" Yuan Hengyang shook his head with a smile and said, "You have a good defense!" ”

Zhong Su smiled and said, "Without further ado, we will set off early tomorrow morning, and you and Mu Yi will do it here." ”

"Don't worry." Yuan Hengyang nodded, "I'll help you watch over there, brother and sister." ”

"Okay."

That night, Zhong Su went to Ran Ning and explained the situation and the next arrangements to her.

Ran Ning nodded after listening, and instructed him a few words, so that he didn't have to worry about himself, and when the child was three months old and the fetal image was stable, she would follow her father-in-law and master back.

Zhong Su also told Ran Ning a few words to pay attention to, the worry was all written on his face, he fell asleep with Ran Ning in his arms that night, and returned to the barracks before dawn the next day, and rushed to the capital with the six princes, Chu Chuan and Chu Chuan's army.

In fact, King Hong's wishful thinking played very well, he knew that Zhong Su and the six princes could not come back alone to die, if they brought the army back, the speed can be imagined, and the far water could not save the near fire, and when they came back, he had already ascended the throne. Anyway, King Ning has already run out, and he doesn't care whether he lives or dies.

However, a few days after he was proud, his subordinates came to report that Zhong Su had returned!

After Zhong Su returned, he went directly to General Zhong's military camp, brought his own people and Chu Chuan's people and began to attack the city.

Now General Zhong and the Marquis of Zhenbei are protecting the emperor in the palace with a group of their soldiers. King Hong secretly gathered the soldiers and horses he had bought to attack the palace and defend the city gate at the same time. What Zhong Su has to do now is to break through the city gate and annihilate the rebellious party.

Seeing the signal sent by Zhong Su outside the city, General Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief, and began to unite with the guards stationed in the palace to counterattack. In the end, it was Zhong Su who broke through the city gate first and won King Hong. The palace was also able to breathe a sigh of relief.

The emperor was very pleased and happy that Zhong Su and the six princes had arrived in time. Although Chu Chuan was an uninvited guest, he also helped him, so the emperor also warmly entertained him.

Regarding the fate of King Hong, Zhong Su and the six princes were not involved, but only presented evidence of their collusion with King Ning. After reading it, the emperor was even more furious, and immediately ordered King Hong to be beheaded for public display. At the same time, it was decreed that the six princes would be crowned as the crown princes, and after the civil strife was dealt with, a canonization ceremony would be held.

The six princes were one step closer to the throne, and the whole of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion was also relieved.

Zhong Su stated to his family that Ran Ning was pregnant and could not return to Beijing for the time being. The three elders were overjoyed, and the Tan family couldn't wait to take care of Ran Ning in person.

He had already informed the government through a letter to his family that he was already unharmed, but the Marquis of Zhenbei and General Zhong still asked carefully before they were really relieved.

A few days later, Yu came to the door crying and talked about Ran Ji. It was only after the fall of King Hong that she learned that Ran Ji did not go to eat the Buddha at all, but was sent as a hostage. When King Hong rebelled, Wan Pingbofu was also frightened, but looking at the situation, King Hong seemed to have the possibility of becoming the emperor, and Yu also had expectations in his heart. Unexpectedly, before he could expect a few days, he was annihilated by Zhong Su. Fortunately, they weren't involved, and that's fine. It's just that when he heard about Ran Ji, Yu was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he didn't know who to find to save Ran Ji, so he had to ask Zhong Su here.

Zhong Su didn't give her any good looks, and told Ran Ji what she did on the spot. Yu Shi was dumbfounded when she heard this, she didn't expect her daughter to do such a thing. It was the first time Tan heard about this, and he was angry and distressed, crying and scolding and driving Yu out.

It is indeed a burden for Ran Ning to stay at the border pass, Zhong Su has the intention to kill her, but thinking of the child in Ran Ning's belly, he also wants to accumulate some good fortune for the child, so he is ready to hand it over to Lord Xu to deal with.

After Wan Pingbo learned of this, he slapped Yu hard, scolded her for having no way to teach her daughter, and declared that he would not recognize Ran Ji's daughter again, and let her fend for herself.

So when Ran Ji was taken back to the capital, only Yu went to see her, but as soon as the mother and daughter met, Ran Ji suddenly vomited blood and died in prison. Yu originally thought that Zhong Su had done it, and was about to make a fuss, but after checking, this poison was actually given to Ran Ji by King Hong. This poison cannot be eradicated, and it must be taken regularly, if it falls, it will definitely die of poison within half a year.

Wan Pingbo no longer cares about Ran Ji, Ran Ji is a married daughter, and she can't enter the ancestral hall of the Ran family after she dies, so the Yu family had to find a place to bury her hastily, but she has been filled with jealousy all her life.

Just when Zhong Su was considering whether to go back to Ran Ning, news came from the palace that the emperor had been assassinated.

This made everyone startled, and when they rushed to the palace, they learned that the person who assassinated the emperor was actually the eldest prince's mother, Concubine Jiang, who had gone crazy. Looking down further, it was actually the queen who let Concubine Jiang out. The queen lost her son, and she was also resentful in her heart, although it was surprising to do this kind of thing, but she also wanted to avenge her son.

This stab was too accurate, even with the full help of the imperial doctors, it was powerless to return to heaven - the emperor died.

After the emperor's funeral, the six princes successfully ascended the throne. Because of Concubine Jiang's assassination of the emperor, the queen was confined to Kunlin Palace and was not allowed to come out for life.

On the day of his accession to the throne, the new emperor established his biological mother Xianguifei as the queen mother, General Jin Zhong as the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, and Jin Zhongsu as the general of the dragon and tiger and the commander of the second product......

All the soldiers who participated in the battle of West Cliff were also rewarded, and none of them were left behind.

To everyone's surprise, the new emperor actually directly named Zhong Su's wife Ran as the wife of Zheng Erpin. This kind of grand favor makes people can't help but guess that half of them should be rewarded by Zhong Su, after all, it was Zhong Su who led the army to break through the city gate, and the six princes ascended the throne.

What others think, Zhong Su doesn't care, he knows that the new emperor Feng Ran Ning is not looking at his face, but Ran Ning has really helped a lot this time, and he is worthy of this position.

In autumn, the weather is very cool, and it is very pleasant.

An inconspicuous carriage drove slowly on the road to the capital, and finally stopped in front of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.

Ran Ning lifted the curtain and saw Zhong Su, who was already waiting for her at the door. Now Ran Ning's fetal image has stabilized, although it has not yet been conceived, but the person has been a little more plump than it.

"Xianggong." Ran Ning smiled, she hadn't seen Zhong Su for a long time.

Zhong Su raised the corners of his mouth, walked over and carried her out of the carriage, and strode into the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

Ran Ning leaned on Zhong Su, listening to his heartbeat, feeling the stability that Zhong Su brought her.

Now there is nothing for them to worry about anymore, and the comfortable days that belong to them have finally come. Although they had waited a long time for this day, it was worth it to look back. Now she has nothing else to ask for, she only hopes to give birth to a child safely and live a stable and happy life with Zhong Su.

After all, no amount of glory is as good as the quiet years, and the present world is stable......
