Chapter 73

The Empress Dowager paused slightly, and then sneered: "So what? These things didn't really kill you, the mourning family is the biological mother of your father, where did you come from without me? Without me, do you think you can enjoy more than ten years of splendid glory? Now it's finally time to use you, but you want to do it against me, what a wolf-hearted thing! ”

Changping closed his eyes slightly, shook his head and said: "The imperial grandmother is wrong again, I can enjoy the glory in peace, not because I am your granddaughter, but because I am the Jiang family, you are now the empress dowager, and you are admired by all the people in the world, and it is also because you have the surname Jiang, not because of the Zhao family." She straightened the hem of her skirt: "I will naturally repay the kindness I owe to the Jiang family, for example, if the emperor opens his mouth to let me be close, I will never refuse, who made me a royal person?" ”

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath and said, "What a sharp mouth!" What a great granddaughter I have taught! ”

Changping looked at her, his heart was not without sadness, Jiang You, who had never been at odds with her, knew at this time that Tatar was a fire pit and could not harm her, but it was her grandmother who wanted to force her to jump into the fire pit, which was chilling to think about. She smiled sarcastically, and her words became sharp: "Grandmother Huang said wrong, in your heart, those people of the Zhao family are your grandchildren, what is my surname Jiang?" She said lightly: "You are the empress dowager, the emperor's grandmother, who can cross you in this world except the emperor?" Now that he has fallen into the fate of living in the mountains for a long time, haven't you thought about your mistakes? ”

The Empress Dowager was so angry that she was so angry that she almost slapped her in the face: "What kind of mystery did the emperor pour into you. Soul Soup, you're talking to her like that?! She pointed to Changping and said hatefully: "It is said that the birth of a daughter is outgoing, and she is a shameless thing, and before she entered the Zhang family, she first regarded herself as the Zhang family, you think that the Zhang family really admires your talents, but you just look at your identity as the eldest princess, and use your status to climb up!" If you lose ground one day, they will abandon you! ”

Changping listened to it and felt a slight tightness in her heart, she naturally believed in Zhang Dongzheng's character, but she didn't dare to guarantee the rest of the Zhang family, her eyes were gloomy for a moment, and then she regained clarity: "What did the imperial grandmother say?" The granddaughter is not married, what does it have to do with the Zhang family? Grandmother, don't tarnish her granddaughter's innocence out of thin air. ”

The unmarried woman is indeed not a husband's family, the empress dowager was stunned by her, took a deep breath, suddenly eased her face, and made a kind look: "Yuan'er, I know that you have a grudge in your heart over the years, and you feel that your grandmother is biased towards the Zhao family, but your grandmother is really thinking about your future, you know that the emperor does not want to see me, you are my granddaughter, will the emperor arrange a good future for you if you stay in Beijing?" Will the Zhang family treat you sincerely? ”

She sighed: "Although the Tatar is remote, but as soon as you marry, you are Kedun, and Namo Si Khan is also a rare heroic warrior, you are not wronged to marry him, Grandmother Fang Cai is eager for a while, and it is not good to speak, but you are my own granddaughter, that is, I wanted to pass you on to the emperor, and it was also for the sake of your future, your father is my only child, will I still harm you?" ”

If Changping doesn't know who she is, I'm afraid I have to believe it. She said lightly: "Grandmother said this too late, and the emperor has already rejected the Tatar envoy's plea." ”

When the Empress Dowager heard her mention Jiang You again, her face showed a slight hideous color: "Okay, you don't take me in your eyes now, no matter what, I am your grandmother, and now that I am sick, do you dare to leave me to marry?" ”

Changping also knew that she would not let people go lightly, so he calmly lowered his eyes and said, "Grandmother Huang, do you still remember the sister of the Zhao family?" She looked at the Empress Dowager stunned, and continued unhurriedly: "Since the imperial grandmother wants to win over the Tatars, the granddaughter will make a proposal to the emperor, let the emperor crown the sister of the Zhao family as the princess, let her marry the Tatar princess, if the imperial grandmother is not enough, let the youngest son of the Zhao family also marry the past, and marry the Tatar princess as a son-in-law." ”

The Empress Dowager's heart was beating wildly, if she said that she might not take the daughter of the Zhao family to heart, but the little son of the Zhao family was the only hope for the rise of the Zhao family, how could she agree? Her body trembled, and she said coldly, "You dare to threaten me? ”

Changping bowed: "My granddaughter doesn't dare, it's just a matter of facts." Since she dared to come, she was naturally sure, and continued to say softly: "Actually, there are already many noble girls in Beijing who are willing to marry Tatars, and some things are still expected to be thought about by the emperor's grandmother." ”

The Empress Dowager clenched the teacup in her hand and said coldly: "Are you going to fight against me to the end?!" Seeing that Changping's expression did not fluctuate, she slapped the arm of the chair hard: "You get out!" ”

Changping felt relieved, turned around gracefully and retired. The Empress Dowager was so angry that her chest rose and fell for a while, and suddenly her expression was stunned, a sly smile appeared on her face, and she turned to the grandmother behind her and ordered: "Go and bring the Tatar envoy over." ”

Mama took the order to come up, and in a blink of an eye, Bu Yan came out of the side hall on one side, and sighed: "I rushed over from the paddock in vain, and the persuasion of the Queen Mother had no effect on the princess, but it was a pity." ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at him coldly, she was actually very disgusted with these alien barbarians in her heart, but at this time she had to be patient: "You are here for peace and affection, don't you have any tricks?" ”

Bu Yan smiled slightly: "Naturally, there are later moves, but I am afraid that the princess's name will be ruined, and the emperor will be angry." He said slowly: "If it weren't for the fact that the emperor and Xue Zhangyin are in danger at the same time, their whereabouts are unknown, and there is chaos in Beijing, I wouldn't dare to use such a method lightly." ”

The Empress Dowager naturally heard the news of Jiang You's disappearance, and she was thinking that she would be able to grasp the power when she returned to Beijing at this time, and she wished that Jiang You would die outside, but she still had a look of compassion on her face: "The emperor is also pitiful, and he has encountered such a natural disaster*." She pressed down her other thoughts first, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you have?" ”

Bu Yan raised the corners of his lips and said a little proudly: "I know, you Daqi people value their names more than their lives, if you ruin the reputation of the eldest princess, let her stay in the capital and let the Zhang family spit on her, we will propose marriage at this time and take her far away to Tatar, how can she not wag her tail and beg for mercy from our khan?" He looked at the Empress Dowager in surprise, and waved his hand disapprovingly: "The Tatars have never paid attention to their reputations, as long as she is the princess of Daqi, it doesn't hurt if her reputation is bad." After he finished speaking, he laughed and said: "Although this method is good, it is too risky, if it weren't for the disappearance of the emperor and Xue Changgong at the same time, now the capital is in chaos, and I am afraid that I will not dare to use those dead soldiers." ”

The Empress Dowager's complexion moved, and she played with the Buddha beads with a compassionate expression: "Why is this child in Changping suffering? ”

Bu Yan looked at her sideways, sneered in his heart, and turned around to go out of the hall.

Changping was rushing down the mountain, and she was really tired from a war with the Empress Dowager, she raised her hand to pour herself a cup of tea to refresh herself, her fingers touched the teapot, and suddenly she smiled softly.

Zhang Dongzheng didn't know where she heard that she liked to drink tea mixed with honey, and went to the mountains to look for wild honey for her, and was bitten several bags on her body without paying attention, and the person was still not well, she shook her head with a smile and poured tea for herself, and said lightly 'nerd' in her mouth.

She set off from Zhongnan Mountain on the day of the hunting, so she didn't know the news of Jiang You's disappearance, she only felt that the big deal was decided, and her heart was very relaxed, and suddenly the carriage shook, and then the sound of people shouting and chaotic came into the car.

She was so frightened that her face changed, and she hurriedly pulled the curtains, and saw a number of masked people emerging from all over the mountain wall, and one of them shouted in a rude voice: "Don't worry about anything else, rob the people in the sedan chair!" ”

Changping came out this time to coerce his grandmother, it wasn't a glorious thing, so he didn't bring many guards, and she was even more panicked when she heard it, what did this group of people rob her? She is different from Jiang Youke, if she is really succeeded by these gangsters, then the reputation of her daughter's family will be completely ruined, in case these gangsters have bad intentions, she is afraid that her life will be over.

In a panic, the teacup in her hand was overturned all of a sudden, and she screamed softly because of the hot water, but her face calmed down a little, and she lifted the curtain and said sharply: "Don't fight, run to a crowded place down the mountain!" ”

Changping is exquisite, although there are many guards in the temple of the Empress Dowager on Zhongnan Mountain, but the Empress Dowager will never save her, and then think about it deeply, maybe this matter is inseparable from the Empress Dowager, she thought of this, her heart couldn't help but move, and she raised her voice to the people outside the car curtain: "Are you the people sent by the Empress Dowager?!" ”

These people didn't want Changping's life, so they didn't use weapons such as longbows and arrows, and those masked people didn't pay attention to it at all, but the eyes of the one who was the leader of them flashed, and then laughed rudely: "Beauty, don't struggle, get out of the car obediently and come with me, I promise to love you well!" ”

If the ordinary woman heard this, she was either angry or afraid, and Chang Ping's face was even more cold, and she ignored him, but kept urging the convoy forward, and suddenly her eyes flashed, and she saw that the eyes of the person in charge had some different colors, and the bridge of his nose was bulging with a masked cloth, which did not look like the face of a great Qi person.

At this time, she didn't have time to let her think about it, she saw that the person in charge of the group had a fierce flash in his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, the group of people came straight over.

Changping saw that those strong men were close at hand, and her heart finally panicked, her mind was full of thoughts that could not be caught by these people, she suddenly opened the sedan curtain, and the body of the killed coachman was soft and horizontal on one side, she pushed the corpse aside with tears, pulled off the hairpin on her head, and stabbed hard at the horse pulling the cart, and the horse neighed and stood up, and jumped straight towards a steep mountain wall with her

In the cave, Jiang You was stunned at first, and then covered his face and shrank back; "This, what is this, I want to kiss you yourself, and I didn't let it stand up."

Xue Yuan continued to coax her: "The emperor can't bear to look at his ministers so uncomfortable? ”

Jiang You smacked him: "Where are you uncomfortable?!" She looked at the majestic place, beautiful to beautiful, it was really a little scary to look at it like this, she sighed that the man was really strange, and said suspiciously: "You are really uncomfortable? ”

Xue Yuan frowned and nodded, it looked really a little sickly, she leaned over, her face was against the top, her lips slid slightly, and she heard him gasp a little heavier, she was so frightened that she hurriedly took a few steps back: "Why is it so hot that I don't come." ”

Xue Yuan looked at a shallow groove on her chest and muttered, "It's okay to use other methods."

Jiang You was drenched in the rain for a long time, and at this time he was a little dizzy, thinking about finishing his work early and going to bed early, he leaned over with both hands: "Then that's it, do you feel better?" ”

Xue Yuan's body stiffened by her jerky movements, and he hugged her tightly and said, "What You'er does is good." ”

Jiang You was a little embarrassed, but he was a little proud, and climbed along the pole: "It's not difficult, why can't you get it yourself?" ”

Xue Yuan bit her neck intently, and laughed sullenly when he heard the words: "The emperor has a blue heart, and the minister himself is not as comfortable as the emperor." ”

He has always been omnipotent in Jiang You's heart, even he said that he couldn't do things well, but she did a good job, working harder in her hands, and cooperating with his movements.

Xue Yuan put one hand on her calf, slid up along the tender skin, and arrived at the place without a trace, seeing her look over in a panic, he took the opportunity to turn over and press her under him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister has come to repay the favor." ”

Jiang You couldn't help but sigh, but his plump lips came over and whimpered. Yin was annihilated in her lips and teeth, and she had already snorted and groaned without a few strokes, and with his movements, she moved like a snake trying to dodge, and suddenly her body straightened, and then she softened again, and looked at him with her eyes open.

There was a warm wetness in his palm, Xue Yuan kissed her flushed cheeks, and chuckled: "The emperor can't help but tease, so sensitive. How can I feel good? ”

Jiang You only felt that the three souls were still in the six souls but they were gone, and it took a while for his body to tremble and come back to his senses: "What have you done?" ”

Xue Yuan lay on her side: "Does the emperor feel happy?" He saw Jiang You pursing his lips and not speaking, and fed her some boiling water: "The emperor drank and rested early." ”

Jiang You felt that his whole body was so weak that he couldn't even lift a finger, and the whole person seemed to be out of strength, and he leaned on his arms dizzily and fell asleep, but he didn't expect that she was drenched in the rain for a long time, and she was frightened, and after such a toss, she actually had a fever the next morning.

Xue Yuan also didn't sleep well all night, guarding her all night, seeing her burning cheeks flushed, looking at herself with a sloppy look, and closing his eyes and falling asleep in the middle of the night, he was anxious, but remembering what happened last night, he didn't dare to leave her and go out alone, it was still raining at this time, and he couldn't go out with her.

He could only hold her tightly in his arms, wrap her in dried clothes and sweat, and put the wet handkerchief on her forehead, seeing that she was burning in a daze, he felt confused and powerless in his heart, and even worshipped the immortal who never believed, hugged her hard, and kept talking in her ear.

He said that his mouth was dry and his voice was hoarse, and when he saw that she finally opened a slit in her closed eyes, he tilted his head and whispered, "Palm print, I'm thirsty."

Xue Yuan was so happy that his body shook up, he hurriedly hugged her and put it away, and coaxed softly: "Your Majesty, wait, the minister will go and get you some water." ”

He was afraid that the rain would not be clean, so he burned it several times before he dared to give her a drink, I don't know if it was a sick person with a weak stomach, or if the rain was really not clean, she only drank a few sips, and then turned over and spit it out.

Xue Yuan trembled in panic: "What's wrong with you?" Is it uncomfortable? ”

Jiang You's eyes were still misty, his lips were a little dry, he didn't care what he said, just opened his lips lightly and shouted thirsty, Xue Yuan touched her face, didn't dare to give her any more rainwater, reflexively pulled out a narrow knife from underneath, made a big cut in the palm of his hand, and gently pinched her cheeks and fed it in.

It was God who felt his sincerity, she finally didn't spit it out again this time, and swallowed it obediently, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, stroked her long hair and muttered: "You are sick and don't pick the time, what can I do if I do this?" As long as you are well, even if you draw my blood and give it to you to drink, I am willing. ”

Jiang You didn't know if he heard him speak, some tears came out of his big eyes, and he fell asleep again, and in the afternoon her forehead finally receded a little, he breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped her body and put a compress on her forehead.

The illness came like a mountain, Jiang You's illness came suddenly, and people were sometimes awake and confused, sometimes a little sober, so he held his injured hand tightly, choking back tears and not saying a word.

After a delay of two days, Xue Yuan saw that the sky was finally showing signs of clearing, so he rushed out with her in his arms, he rode his horse and galloped in the direction of the paddock, fortunately he met the rescue team, and the captain who came to save people saw the emperor who was unconscious in his arms, and he looked like a wolf, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take it, but was glared back by his cruel eyes.

He held her firmly, and no one was allowed to touch her until he returned to the tent and saw the imperial doctor who had come to treat him before he let go of his hand, but he still held her hand firmly, and everyone looked at each other.

Jiang You's illness is not a serious illness, but it is a cold, but she has not been sick again since she was seven years old, and this small problem is also very strict all of a sudden, and the illness is like a thread, she lay in the tent for a few days before she was completely awake, and she just lay on the bed with a pale face, completely missing her former spirit.

As soon as she woke up, she could see Xue Yuan guarding the bedside, with an eye-catching opening in her palm, and when she was better, she leaned on the pillow with a white face, holding his hand sadly: "Why do you want to do this?" It's so cloudy, what if it doesn't get better? ”

Xue Yuan only lightly applied a layer of plaster on his hand, and he could vaguely see the hideous wound of the skin and flesh turned out, and he raised his lips and smiled: "Didn't the emperor say that he was thirsty?" Why are you resentful of the ministers now? ”

Jiang You was still sad: "You were originally a traitor, what kind of loyal courtier, did I say that I want the stars and the moon, and you can't pick it off for me?" ”

Xue Yuan laughed, sunny and bright: "The minister is only loyal to the emperor. "Sometimes it's amazing to think about it, he's the most selfish person, and he never thought he'd hurt himself for anyone, but when things are really done, I feel like I'm happy, as long as she's okay.

At first, he just regarded her as a clever child, and he was held by his side to amuse and relieve boredom, but then he liked it without paying attention, he couldn't control himself, he liked it and liked it, and it became love, and she became the baby in his heart.

Jiang You tilted his head, looked at him in a daze, and suddenly kissed him in a daze, and took the initiative to put a hand on his placket and slid down, he was stunned for a moment, let her kiss, but raised his hand to hold her wrist, frowned, and said, "The prince is not well?" What does this do? ”

Jiang You lowered his head and pounded the bed board under him, seemingly very annoyed: "I owe too much palm prints, can't I take myself?" "A childish language.

Xue Yuan's expression lightened a little, and he sighed and said: "You'er doesn't have to be like this, you are grateful now, and you feel that everything you should do for me is right, but if you regret or even feel disgusted when you think of this in the future, what can you do at that time?" "Of course he likes her, but compared to the momentary love. desire, what he wants more is her love.

Jiang You opened his mouth and retorted softly: "No, I have made a promise, how can I regret it?" She seemed a little shy, and stumbled and said, "Don't misunderstand me about palm prints, I really like palm prints." ”

The words that he had been waiting for a long time came to his ears, but it made him a little stunned, and it took a while to come back to his senses, chew every word she said, and the words were embedded in his heart, and then he looked at her and asked, "Is the emperor serious?" ”

Jiang You scratched his head, his expression was a little embarrassed, the conversation box opened, and the one behind him came out smoothly: "I am telling the truth, palm prints are different from others in my heart, in my heart, you are the best person in the world." She hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "I used to treat palm prints as close elders, but later," she didn't seem to know how to say it, and after a pause, she said, "It's different." ”

After he was stunned, the joy in his heart seemed to overflow, and he hugged her and asked several times: "What you said is true?" ”

Jiang You nodded in his arms, and he suddenly let out a long sigh and prolonged his voice: "The emperor should know that the minister is very stingy, please have mercy on the emperor and take care of this, the minister can't see that there are others around the emperor."

She was prepared for his progress since she spoke, and when she heard this, she hurriedly patted her chest and promised: "Although the ancestral rules set the rules of the empress's harem, they also do not stipulate that you must marry so much, I am not a person with a heart, since it is determined that it is a palm print, how can I ask for someone else?" ”

Xue Yuan raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "The emperor can rest assured, the ministers will help the emperor to guard against it and not give those chicken and dog bits and pieces a chance." He hugged her and looked at her, feeling that he couldn't see enough, he liked everything.

Jiang You was embarrassed to show him, and it happened that Ma Cheng came in with his head down and medicine at this time, and his mouth was broken: "Overseer, is the emperor better?" Hey, you tell me about this because the emperor didn't wake up, otherwise you might not be anxious to know about this. ”
