Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Prince's Wife

In late autumn, the climate in the west is as cold as winter in the capital. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Dressed in a bearded costume, Wang Zhao Teng kept pacing in the room.

His advisor Zhang Shihe knelt on the ground.

He was restless when he learned in the morning that Empress Jingzhuang was bedridden by a letter from someone he had placed in the capital.

He wanted to see her. This thought made him want to rush out the door.

But Zhang Shihe tried hard to persuade him not to go.

"Lord Wang, don't act rashly at this time. Although you said that you would go quietly, what if the imperial court sent someone to inspect here during this time? Moreover, the emperor must have arranged heavy troops to guard the Qingxin Villa, and if you go at that time, it will be difficult to guarantee that you will not be known. Zhang Shihe persuaded bitterly.

Zhao Teng looked out the window and said, "It is very likely that she got sick because she was worried that others would know about our date." ā€

"Then it is even more inappropriate for you to go back at this time."

Zhao Teng slapped his palm on the window and said in great pain: "But I want to see her, I want to see her very much." You won't understand. ā€

If she really has three longs and two shorts this time, he will never see her again.

If she is gone, then his twenty years of careful planning will be meaningless.

Ambition was only the superficial reason for him to do this, but the real reason was her.

It was always just her.

With her, he could give up everything else.

But obviously, the price it would take to get her was enormous.

He didn't mind, though.

As long as you can be with her, it's all worth it.

Therefore, no matter how Zhang Shihe persuaded him, Zhao Teng couldn't give up the idea of going to see her.

Zhang Shihe had no choice but to kneel down and persuade hard.

"I'm dressed as a businessman, no one will recognize me, I'll go for a few days and I'll be back." Zhao Teng said.

Xiliang has Zhang Shihe here, and he is very relieved to look at him.

Zhang Shihe shook his head and said: "It will take five days to ride the fastest horse from here to the capital, and then you stay there for a few days, plus the time it takes to return, I'm afraid it won't be possible in half a month." However, during this period of time, Guo Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Li Yunfeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Peng Wentao, a scholar of the Cabinet University, and Zheng Yusong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, were encircling and suppressing the four vassal kings in the southwest and northwest. ā€

The southwest and northwest are adjacent to Xiliang, and Guo Hong, the secretary of the military department, was ordered by Zhao Teng to do something in this operation this time, if Zhao Teng hopes that Guo Hong can complete the task according to his intentions this time, then Zhao Teng had better stay quietly in Xiliang and closely monitor the situation.

Hearing Zhang Shihe say this, Zhao Teng's reason finally overcame emotion and sat down on the chair.

Zhao Teng is actually a person who is quite smart and calm, but only in the matter of Queen Jingzhuang.

Zhang Shihe dared to breathe a sigh of relief, got up and sat down opposite Zhao Teng and said, "You don't have to worry too much about the queen, there are so many imperial doctors in the palace, and they will definitely do their best to heal her." ā€

Zhao Teng nodded, but his brows did not stretch.

He couldn't have been reassured until he got the news that her condition had improved.

Over the years, he had also learned from the people he had sent to the capital to inquire about her that she often had insomnia and had some problems with her stomach and lungs, and it was because of this that he was determined to implement the plan as soon as possible.

He was physically strong, and if nothing happened to him, he would not have had a problem living to the age of eighty, but her body was ......

In order to spend more time with her, he advanced the whole plan by three years.

Strictly speaking, it was he who finally made up his mind.

Before, he was a little hesitant.

Zhao Teng took a sip of butter tea and said, "When Guo Hong and their affairs are done, I still want to go back to Beijing to see her." ā€

Zhang Shihe said: "The encirclement and suppression of the four feudal kings should have a result at the end of this month, and it will be the time of snow, so the prince should endure it and wait until next spring to ......."

"She won't be in Pure Heart Villa then." Zhao Teng waved his hand.

If she returned to the palace, it would be difficult for him to meet her, not to mention that it would not be as simple as just chatting when he saw her.

Only he knew how strong his desire/desire was for her.

Zhang Shihe understood his thoughts, and sighed: "If you talk about infatuation, there are few people who can compare with you throughout the ages." ā€

"You've said that many times."

"Isn't it? But when facing the prince, he still couldn't help but want to say. ā€

Zhao Teng smiled, and was about to talk to Zhang Shihe about the affairs of the four feudal kings in the southwest and northwest when someone came in and said, "Lord, the princess is here." ā€

The princess was afraid that he was talking inside, so she usually asked people to come in first to report.

Hearing that his wife was coming, Zhao Teng's face suddenly fell.

But he changed his sitting position and said to his subordinates, "Let her in." ā€

The curtain was gently lifted by the servant, and a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes walked in slowly.

This beautiful woman is about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, with a beautiful face and a graceful posture, and her gestures are full of charm.

Zhang Shihe retreated with amusement.

The princess sat down beside Zhao Teng and said gently: "The weather is getting colder, the concubine instructed the kitchen to stew some angelica mutton soup for the prince, and the prince will drink two bowls after a while." ā€

Zhao Teng let out an almost invisible 'um', and then said, "Since you know that the weather is cold, what are you doing here?" Tell your subordinates to spread the word. ā€

The princess was a little embarrassed, and finally said: "The prince went to patrol the border last night, and the concubine was worried for a night, and today I learned that you came back safely, and I always thought about it...... Always want to see you. ā€

Zhao Teng frowned and said, "I brought a lot of people with me, what are you worried about?" ā€

The princess bowed her head.

Since marrying him, she has not been able to understand his mind, so she always looks cautious in front of him.

But even this often made him angry.

He didn't love her, and she had already seen that.

But she loved him very much.

In her heart, he is the sky, the support of her and her children.

As long as he smiled at her one day, she would be happy for days. As long as he was cold to her one day, she felt like the sky was going to fall.

However, Zhao Teng didn't like her very much.

Therefore, the more she flattered him, the more disgusted he became, so he was not very polite to her on weekdays.

This woman didn't have much place in his heart.

He was transparent to her most of the time.

"You go back to the room first, I'll drink angelica mutton soup later." Zhao Teng said.

He didn't really like the soup. But since he never said he didn't like it, the princess thought he liked it.

The princess didn't get up and leave immediately, but whispered, "The concubine still has something to tell the prince." ā€

"What's the matter?" Zhao Teng's tone was a little impatient. (To be continued.) )
