Chapter 47: The Battle of the East Palace
"Since you've already made your choice, why bother to feel your conscience uneasy now, Queen Nancheng!" Yuan Qi squeezed out of his teeth word by word, and he wanted to tear me to pieces. "Why, what did the eldest princess say, did she say how much Yuan Ying blamed herself for your death, did she mention it to you, Yuan Ying thought you were really hopeless, and almost went with you."
Almost, with me?! "With his calmness, he would never be a person who did such an irrational thing."
"Yes, with his calmness, he did such an irrational thing because of you. Do you know that after he ordered someone to send your body back to Dongfu, how could this skin of yours stay with him? It was Yuan Ying himself who robbed your body back, he killed everyone who escorted your body back to Dongfu, and one person robbed you back to him, if someone hadn't told him, the Gong clan might have a way to regenerate you, and he would have jumped off the cliff with your body. When Yuan Qi said that he was excited, he actually rushed forward, grabbed my collar viciously and yelled at me, "And you, do you know that when Yuan Ying heard that you were going to marry Huangfu Xuan to marry Nancheng, he lost his mind, and he actually threw a qiē to me, a stand-in, and rushed out himself." ”
"What you said is true?" He lost his mind because of me?
"Why did you marry Huangfu Xuan, why did you do this." Yuan Qi asked sharply.
"If you are so worried about him, and you are unhappy for him, why should you plan to count him and replace him? Why don't you be duplicitous? "From the first time I saw Yuan Qi in the princess's mansion, I felt that his resentment towards me was not just because of the festival between us, and I never understood why he wanted to kill me until he said it himself.
"Who said that, I'm not like you." Yuan Qi looked flustered, pushed me away, he fled in a hurry, I am afraid that he really faced his sincerity, he was also the first time, but he was seen through and reminded by me in such a situation.
Yu Wenzheng, are you really still Yuan Ying?
"Back to the eldest princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to the palace first due to physical discomfort." Everyone waited for a long time in front of a table full of delicacies, and the maid hurried back to report it.
"What's the matter, wasn't Zheng'er okay in the afternoon, did he say that he was uncomfortable? Is it strict? The eldest princess was very puzzled and asked worriedly.
My heart was weak, and I bowed my head. Gong Li seemed to have discovered something, and glanced at me sideways.
"Forget it, let's eat first, don't wait." The eldest princess came back to her senses and pretended to smile, but she muttered as if talking to herself, "Is it because of the county lord of Zhaohua?" ”
"Don't worry." Master Ma comforted on the side, "The prince is in charge of the country, maybe he is tired, let him be, greet me again tomorrow." ”
"Hmm." The eldest princess was still not at ease, hesitated, nodded, and remembered something again. "Ye Gongzi, I don't know what happened to the last time I asked you to think about it? Will you defend the prince? ”
"Since it is entrusted by the princess, naturally it should not be refused." However, I used to think that maybe I could see Yu Wenzheng again after finding someone, and then make plans, but now that I know those things, can I still pretend to be indifferent to face him, "It's just that this trip to Beishao does have something to do, can you wait until I find the person I am looking for, and then make arrangements." ”
"In this case," the eldest princess was a little disappointed, and continued, "I shouldn't have forced Ye Gongzi anymore, but the day after tomorrow, this palace will go into the mountain with the prince and pray for the world in the temple. ”
The day after tomorrow, maybe tomorrow I can try my luck on the street, the eldest princess and the prince went to the temple to pray together, and it will take about two or three days to go back and forth, it is estimated that Yu Wenzheng was still left in Nancheng by Huangfu Xuan at that time, but if I don't agree to go with me, if something really happens, Yuan Qi has an accident, I'm afraid Yu Wenzheng will also be very sad, "If it's just a blessing, it can't be delayed for a few days, and I will escort the eldest princess with me." ”
"That's very good." The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief, and personally got up and put some dishes into my bowl, "Eat more, you are a noble person in this palace." ”
Is it true that Yu Wenzheng messed up because of me and chased him to Nancheng, I never knew that he also had a lost side, that person who is always sure and calculates a qiē, how much sincerity does he have?
After the dinner, I deliberately opened the palace Li, a person in the back garden aimlessly distracted, I thought about whether to accompany the eldest princess after the sacrifice came back, and left the eldest princess's mansion, so as not to bump into Yu Wenzheng one day, how to explain my fake marriage to Huang Fu Xuan, in fact, this matter itself is in my plan, I did it because I knew that he would be tricked and then chased to Nancheng, didn't I, why do I feel embarrassed now, if it is really as Yuan Qi said, Yu Wenzheng will be provoked, I am afraid that after others come back, Don't talk about finding someone, I guess I'll be hung up and beaten.
When you did this, you should really think about the consequences, or else you should think about excuses.
"Lord Zhao, I don't know what you're thinking about."
I was hiding behind the rockery and grabbing my hair angrily, but I heard a woman's voice outside.
"If this matter will hurt the eldest princess, then the minister will definitely not do it." It's a colt.
"Your husband and wife are just pretending, isn't it, does she know that you have another house outside the house, if you help the palace in this matter, after the matter is completed, the palace can let you officially marry that woman into the door, and your children can rightfully inherit the bloodline of your Zhao family." This voice is delicate and charming.
"Don't bother Mrs. Lao. Zhao Yu has no intention of participating in the battle of the East Palace, does not want to be an enemy of my wife, and hopes that his wife will understand. The colt refused for the second time, and since the words showed his attitude, it was not rude.
"Lord Zhao, since you are determined to do so, this palace will never force it. I heard that the woman you hid is about to give birth, and the palace is worried that your Zhao family's bloodline will not be taken care of as it should be, so she was specially invited to the palace, so she can take care of her, please rest assured. She didn't hold on anymore and let go very generously, but in the depths of that charming and moving, the hidden threat would involuntarily shudder when anyone heard it.
"Madame!" He panicked for a moment, lowered his voice and continued, "Madam, please let them go." ”
"Lord Zhao, don't panic." The woman called Madame actually laughed, and her tone was so flat that it was as if nothing had happened, "This matter, this palace is bound to win, but the adults know the plans of the palace, and ask the adults to keep the secrets for the palace for the time being." ”
Who is this, who can threaten the eldest princess in the mansion, she calls herself the palace, is she also a princess? Or, since the dispute over the East Palace was mentioned, perhaps, it was the people in the Shao Palace. I want to see what the owner of this voice looks like, threatening the East Palace, that is, to make an enemy of Yuwen Zheng, it's always good to see it clearly first.
I poked my head out to see what was going on. I ran straight into the horse, and the position where he was standing happened to be facing me, and my poked my head out, just in time for him to look over.
I thought to myself, oh no. I'm afraid I'm going to be exposed.
He turned his head again and said to the woman with his back to me, "It's not too early, Madame has been out for too long and it is easy to attract suspicion, it is better to go back first, what Madame is worried about, Zhao Yu can promise Madame that he will not reveal the slightest rumor, and ask Madame to protect the safety of my wife and children." ”
The woman turned her back to me, and noticed nothing unusual, she never looked back, and she was wearing a long black cloak, and she couldn't even see her clothes, and she heard the horse master say this, chuckled, and got up to leave.
The master lowered his head and waited for the woman to go away, then looked at me again, paid careful attention to the surroundings, and then said loudly, "Ye Gongzi, come out." ”
"I just thought I was going to die." I saw that there was no other way, so I walked out generously.
"The conversation just now, presumably Ye Gongzi heard it." The concubine obviously had no intention of concealing it, "I also asked Ye Gongzi to keep it secret, my wife and children are on the line of life and death in her hands." ”
I thought it was funny. "Master Concubine, I was invited by the eldest princess to protect her and the crown prince, why do you think that I will hide this for you."
"You just need to continue to protect the princess and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, these two things are not in conflict. The princess on this trip, there must be an ambush on the way, please be careful, protect the princess, the purpose of this person, is intended to provoke the princess and His Royal Highness the prince, but it is also possible to put the princess in danger out of the next strategy, please pay more attention to the princess. "The colt did not seem to be alarmed by the discovery of the secret, but carefully imagined the dangers that might be encountered on the way, and told me to make more arrangements.
"Master Pony, can I ask you something?" Seeing that he didn't refuse, I opened my mouth, "Is it because of love or righteousness that you treat the princess?" ”
If it is for righteousness, it is still understandable, if it is for love, then why is the golden house hidden.
"Ye Gongzi, I know you don't believe me. You suddenly appeared next to the princess, and I have quite doubts about your identity, but I did send someone to investigate you in private. Luoxiang Mountain has declined since more than half a year ago, the trees are falling and scattered, the people in your cottage are long gone, and you have appeared in Xiyi, you already know His Royal Highness the Prince, but you pretended to know nothing in front of the princess, why did you come. "The master of the horse is different from the gentle and elegant in front of the eldest princess at the moment, he doesn't have any smile, and he doesn't give me room to turn around.
Burn one's ship.
The path he is taking now is only the one in all the plans, and he does not hesitate to expose himself and lead me to show up, is it because he has been cornered? "You don't have to look it up, if you follow your clues, the answer may not be what you want. My identity, even if it is found out, is definitely not something you can bear, it will only startle you into a crisis. ”
"Sure enough, as expected." He was so calm that he was not surprised. "The princess had no intention of participating in the East Palace dispute, but she had the most direct and beneficial force in the East Palace dispute, and she had to be involved in it, and I asked you to protect the princess and not let her be coerced by those people."
"If the princess is unfortunately killed, didn't the princess just marry the woman who was pregnant with your child into the door, I really don't understand, it's a very simple thing, why do you have to make it so complicated." Maybe he used to have affection for the eldest princess, but that feeling didn't seem to last after the changes of the years and the repeated embarrassment of identity, the more the eldest princess was favored in front of Emperor Beishao, the greater the pressure on the concubine.
"Many things are not as simple as you think, being in the court, you can't allow the people who are dominated to choose your fate. Ye Gongzi, you are so open-minded, and you are so ambitious, you have such skills at your age, the world is so big that there is a place for you, and the court is not suitable for you. ”
The master of the horse said, leaving a back and leaving alone. His words didn't seem to be meant to me, why did he feel this way, as if he was saying these things to his teenage self, why, he seemed to have a lot of secrets hidden in his heart, but he didn't seem to be a scheming person.
What kind of person is this horse master, since he is an official who worships the commander of Zuo Duwei and commands the forbidden army, he is already at the peak of a person who is born as a military general and does not have any family power. married the emperor's favorite sister, the eldest princess, and became the most powerful eater of soft rice in Beishao, even if he didn't fight for anything, as long as he always followed the eldest princess and assisted the eldest princess to do things for the emperor, the prince who was extremely trusted by the eldest princess, then the glory and wealth in the future can really be said to be inexhaustible. If he is smart, how can he set up a private house outside the princess's mansion to hide Jiaojiao, if the woman outside him gives birth to a child, this child must be a big threat to his future future.
But I don't believe it at all, he has no affection for the eldest princess at all, on the contrary, compared to the woman outside, his affection for the eldest princess seems to be deeper, and I always feel that between his husband and wife, the eldest princess is the one who deliberately avoids it, what is the reason?
The day when the eldest princess and the prince went into the mountain to worship soon came, and the housekeeper in the palace made a good meal early in the morning, and the eldest princess seemed to be in a good mood, not knowing the danger that would come on the way.
"Why isn't my uncle with us?" Yuan Qi still plays the role of Yu Wenzheng, he and the eldest princess sit in the same carriage, and I Yuma follows next to the carriage, and I can hear their conversation in the carriage.
"The forbidden army can't be left unled for a day, he is not only a horse, but also the commander of the Zuo Duwei, and the safety of the city also needs him to worry about day and night, how can he say that he will leave if he leaves." The eldest princess had a smile in her tone, and although the explanation was justified, it seemed a little too deliberate, and she probably felt it herself, so she lifted the curtain, just in time to see me following the carriage, and asked casually, "Where is this?" ”
"It's already out of Ochre City, and there are four miles in front of you, and you'll be in Mingshan, it's still early." I looked up, and there were at least two hundred miles to go from their destination, and at the current pace, they would probably be there in the afternoon, but I didn't know if there would be an ambush for the rest of the journey.
"Arrived at Mingshan?" The eldest princess didn't directly put down the curtain on the window of the carriage, and when she heard the word Mingshan, there was a hint of imperceptible love flashing in her eyes, and she actually pulled up a smile, "Then forget it when you get to the foot of Mingshan, let's go directly." ”
She put away her smile and lowered the curtain, and when she leaned out into the carriage, I inadvertently glanced at Yuan Qi sitting in the carriage, and he also saw me, so he looked away again, looking a little uncomfortable.
"Ye Gongzi, I always call you Ye Gongzi, but I don't know what your name is." In the hanging curtain, the eldest princess spoke silently.
I didn't expect her to suddenly ask my name, and hesitated for a moment, "I don't remember my name either, because I am ranked ninth among the brothers, and everyone who knew me later called me Ye Jiu, and my brothers called me Lao Jiu." ”
