The news of Dongfang Du's expedition with the army is now known only to Emperor Qianwen and General Zhang, and before the news spreads, Prince Dongfang Xi and several other princes will not make any moves. Once the news spreads, I'm afraid that Dongfang Xi will make a move. The prince went on the expedition, which was very rare in ancient times, and it was unprecedented for the prince who was only fourteen years old to go on the expedition.

Dongfang Xi will never let other princes have the opportunity to contact the army, if something happens to him as the eldest prince and already the crown prince of the East Palace, this throne will naturally fall into the hands of Dongfang Du, who is the second prince.

In Zhaoxian Palace, Concubine Xian was chatting with Princess Fengling Dongfang Lingwu and Senior Sister Chu Mi, and the topic naturally revolved around Dongfang Du. Just as he was talking about it, Dongfang Du came.

After Dongfang Lingwu left Fengqing Palace, he went directly to Zhaoxian Palace. As soon as he entered the Xiangong Palace, he stopped the eunuch who was about to go in to report, took off his cloak and handed it to the eunuch on the side, and went straight to the concubine's bedroom. Seeing Concubine Xian lying on the bed, Dongfang Ling Wu walked over in two steps and sat down on Concubine Xian's bed.

"Ling Wu, why are you back?" Concubine Xian Niangniang felt that someone was coming in, thinking that Dongfang Du was coming, and slowly opened her eyes, but what she saw was Dongfang Lingwu, and her face was surprised and happy.

"Mother, are you feeling better?" Dongfang Lingwu asked with concern, seeing that Concubine Xian wanted to sit up, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to support her, "The concubine is just lying down, you don't have to get up." ”

After Concubine Xian sat up, she glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall, and said slowly: "You all go down, you don't have to serve me here." After the palace maids and eunuchs all retreated, they smiled and said to Dongfang Ling Wu: "Ling Wu, the mother concubine is in good health, don't worry." ”

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the palace, Dongfang Ling Wucai said: "I heard the imperial brother say, the mother concubine is not the wind and cold...... his eyes were worried and afraid, "I didn't know that someone would harm the mother concubine like this......"

"Shhhh It's good to be a mother concubine if she has a cold. "Concubine Xian didn't expect Dongfang Du to tell Dongfang Lingwu about her poisoning, and the more people who knew about it, the more people who were in danger. Although Dongfang Lingwu is not her biological daughter, she has long regarded her as her own.

"Mother, why didn't you tell your father about the poisoning?" If you let your father know, you will definitely let people investigate this matter thoroughly. Now only the poisoning is pushed to the wind cold, but I am afraid that the person who poisoned will also attack the virtuous concubine, and if the poisonous person is not caught for a day, the virtuous concubine will not be safe for a day.

Concubine Xian sighed and shook her head, "There is no need to alarm the emperor about this matter." The emperor has all the opportunities, how can this palace add more trouble to the emperor. "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, this poisoning is also related to Emperor Qianwen.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, Ling Wu quickly tell the concubine, what's interesting and interesting outside the palace these days, the concubine has never left the palace since she entered the palace at the age of eighteen." Concubine Xian took Dongfang Lingwu's hand, looked at her lovingly, and sighed in her heart, this time is like a white horse, sixteen years have passed in a flash, and the little Lingwu in her infancy has now grown into a big girl.

"When I heard that my mother was sick, my sons rushed back, so I didn't have anything to play." Dongfang Lingwu said with a smile, "Mother concubine must take care of herself, otherwise her sons will not dare to go out to play at will in the future......" As he spoke, Chu Mi came.

Chu Mi saw Dongfang Lingwu sitting on the edge of the bed and talking and laughing with Concubine Xian at a glance, and saw that she was talking and laughing like a child in front of Concubine Xian, and was surprised in her heart, sure enough, women have many faces.

"Concubine Xian, princess" Chu Mi walked to the bed and hugged his fists and saluted.

"Mi'er is here, sit down." Concubine Xian Niangniang raised her hand and motioned for Chu Mi to sit on the stool next to the bed, "It just so happens that this palace is talking about you and Du'er." ”

"What do I have to do with Xiaodu?" Chu Mi thought about it deeply, and guessed what they were talking about, his face turned red, and he didn't know how to face Concubine Xian and Dongfang Lingwu for a while.

"Look, look, Mi'er is still blushing, from now on, it's all a family, Ling Wu is Du'er's imperial sister, in the future, just like Du'er, call Ling Wu's imperial sister ......" Concubine Xian continued to quip.

The three women sat around and chatted so lively. Dongfang Du was outside the door, and he heard the laughter of three women.

"Mother, Imperial Sister, Senior Sister, what are you talking about? Had such a nice chat. As soon as Dongfang Du entered the house, he couldn't help but smile when he saw the three closest people living together harmoniously. As soon as the three people who were chatting heard Dongfang Du's voice, they turned their heads to look at her at the same time, "Du'er", "Xiaodu", "Imperial Brother", the three of them shouted at the same time.

"Du'er, we're talking about you." Concubine Xian beckoned to Dongfangdu, and then pointed to the position beside Chu Mi and said, "Come, sit down next to Mi'er." ”

"Mother concubine, the son is here to tell the mother concubine something, it just so happens that the imperial sister and the senior sister are here, so let's listen to it together." Dongfang Du sat down beside Chu Mi. Seeing that the three of them were looking at him, Dongfang Du couldn't help but feel a little flustered and nervous, the hands on his legs tightened, he took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Mother, son, son, son will go to Jizhou City with the hussar general Zhang Shaocheng and General Zhang in five days." ”

"What? Going to Jizhou City? ...... you are," Concubine Xian looked at Dongfang Du with a shocked expression. Chu Mi and Dongfang Lingwu's reactions were similar, and they both couldn't believe it. How dangerous this war is, how could she let a prince who is only fourteen years old go out with the army.

"Go with the army. The border city of Jizhou was captured by the Western Xuanguo, and the father asked General Zhang to lead the troops to recapture the border city...... "In addition to recapturing the border city, there is also the meaning of attacking the Western Xuanguo, but I can't say this to the three of them."

"How long will it take?" Concubine Xian only understood after a moment, why Dongfang Du would go out with the army, but I don't know how she used to win such an opportunity.

Dongfang Du shook his head, "I don't know how long it will take." "This time, maybe three or five months, maybe a year or two, when I can return to Beijing, it also depends on my father's intentions.

Several people fell silent for a while, and the mood that was originally happy became heavy in an instant.

"Mother, I have something to say to my senior sister." Saying that, he got up, looked at Chu Mi, and motioned for Chu Mi to go to the side hall with her. After about half an hour, the two of them returned from the side hall. Concubine Xian and Dongfang Lingwu wanted to see something from Dongfang Du and Chu Mi's faces, but they couldn't see anything no matter how they looked.

"Concubine Xian, I'll retire first, don't disturb Xiaodu to talk to you." Chu Mi came back, just to say hello to Concubine Xian and Dongfang Lingwu. After speaking, he glanced at Dongfang Du and left.

"Mother, Imperial Sister." Dongfang Du called the two of them, and then knelt down in front of the bed, "There is one thing, the son wants to ask for the consent of the concubine." He glanced at Dongfang Lingwu and continued: "I like a person, and the imperial sister also knows it. ”

"Isn't it Chu Mi?" Concubine Xian frowned and asked, feeling bad in her heart.

Dongfang Du clenched his hands into fists, hesitated for a moment, and said what happened to him and Dark Cloud. She likes dark clouds, from the past life to the present life. In the previous life, she was a dark guard, and they couldn't be together, but in this life, she broke away from the dark guard, and she was her shadow guard, and they should be able to be together.

"Mother, I like Yun'er, I've liked her for a long time." Dongfang Du looked at Concubine Xian, the firmness and sincerity in his eyes made Concubine Xian nod her head, and then thought of Chu Mi, and couldn't help but feel heartache for that child, "Du'er, what about your senior sister?" ”

"Senior sister......" Dongfang Du didn't know how to answer for a while, to senior sister, it's probably just the love of senior sister and brother, thinking about it, there is a trace of pain in his heart, thinking that senior sister has done so many things for her that she knows she didn't know, she doesn't know where to put senior sister. At least, it shouldn't be a simple senior sister position.

"Senior sister's affairs, I will take care of it." Dongfang Du said softly, as if he was saying to himself, and as if he was saying to Concubine Xian.

"When the child is older, he can't be the mother's decision. Du'er has grown up and has her own ideas, what Du'er wants, and the mother supports you. Looking at the fourteen-year-old child in front of him, thinking that she was a twenty-year-old soul in her body, she sighed, "Mother Concubine is tired, Du'er will go back to her own Fengqing Palace, and Ling Wu will also go back." ”

Concubine Xian's heart was full of emotion, but she didn't know how to tell it, as if her heart was aging at this moment. The child has her own ideas, and all she can do is support and occasional suggestions.

Dongfang Du and Dongfang Lingwu left Zhaoxian Palace together, and on the way, the two of them were silent together and didn't know what to say. The two walked slowly, and finally, walked back to the Fengqing Palace in Dongfangdu.

"Imperial Sister" Dongfang Du stopped, turned her head to look at Dongfang Lingwu, and called softly.

"Du, the imperial sister will not enter your Fengqing Palace." Without waiting for Dongfang Du to say anything, he turned his head and walked in the direction of his Ling Xin Palace. The hands hidden in the cloak were clenched tightly, as if they were making a decision in their hearts.
