"Your Highness, pleaseβ"
His words were a bit tongue-twisting, but Chen Jing also understood, and His Highness didn't mean much to reproach him. The tense mind relaxed slightly, he didn't hesitate any longer, took out something from his arms, knelt on one knee, and presented it.
"Since you have to kill, then killing is killing!"
Zhao Zhu frowned fiercely, raised his head, and surveyed his face.
"If you act without permission, please condemn your highness!"
The order he had received earlier was only to use the Empress Dowager to let Zhao Mianze return to the palace as soon as possible. Zhao Zhu did not say "not to kill" in the order, but he did not give the order to "kill". Seriously speaking, Chen Jing's behavior can be regarded as self-proclaimed. He knew that Zhao Zhu hated such a person the most, and his eyes couldn't help but flicker.
"Yes! Because of a reason to have to kill. β
Chen Jing slowly walked in front of him, glanced at the little baby's fluttering snort, breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes were fixed on his cold face, and he saluted again, his voice solemn.
"Killed?" He asked.
In the wine cellar, on the venerable soft chair, sat a graceful and elegant man. He is the "first father" of the Jin King Zhao Bottle. He grimaced and held a sleeping baby in his arms. The skin on the baby's face was pink, red and wrinkled, and at first glance it was a newborn child. But the face of King Jin was nervous and tense, and his arms were stiff, so that the baby did not seem to be held by him, but as if it was being heldβa treasure that he held tightly.
"Your Highness, I am glad to have fulfilled my mission."
At this moment, there was a "squeak" and the wooden door of the cellar opened. From the top of the steps, a person hurriedly rolled down, he was dressed in a navy blue robe, with a sword at his waist, and a solemn expression.
In the silence, several people in the cellar were silent, silent.
The smell of wine is everywhere, and it is a ghostly silence. In the wine cellar that took Zhao Zhu a lot of working hours, the lights were bright at this time, and the cold wind was blowing down, combining the cold and damp in the basement with the aroma of wine, adding a strange and abnormal atmosphere.
The night breeze blows through the backyard of the wine store, wafting the mellow aroma of wine.
Under the black curtain, the lights and candles are extinguished.

According to the records of the wild historian Ji Jin, who was not in the stream in later generations, since this night, the life-and-death battle between wolves has once again set off a climax. Even for several years, its tragic state, its thrilling, make people sigh.
The people were suspicious that this move was related to the cause of the death of the Empress Dowager. But no one knows the real reason for this.
For example, Emperor Jianzhang went to the Wei Mansion and was ambushed by assassins and almost died here. For example, the Empress Dowager died in the south hall of Hanzhang Hall due to illness, and there was a great chaos in the palace for a while. For another example, after the Empress Dowager's trip, there was a sigh and riot in Jingshi City, and it did not stop for many days and nights. In the long streets and alleys, among the restaurants and tea shops, there are no places where the Praetorian Guards are active. Their purpose is not clear, just like bombing the camp, they set up martial law everywhere, and even enter houses and knock on doors.
This day is the 19th day of July in the 27th year of Hongtai, and it is also the day when Zhao Zhu and Xia Chuqi's first daughter was born. On this night, a lot of great things happened in Jingshi.
~
"Yes."
Zhao Kai was slightly startled.
"The Empress Dowager is in a big deal, and the defense of the Beijing division is particularly important...... Zhao Mianze said in a calm voice about the defense of the Beijing Division. Just when Zhao Kai thought that he really just cared about the safety of the imperial capital, he frowned, added an indescribable murderous intent to his face, and said in a cold voice: "Take this opportunity to set up a card to check, did Jingshi have a baby born last night?" Once there are babies, all the parents will be verified and reported one by one. β
"Your Majesty just commands." Zhao Kai lowered his gloomy eyebrows.
"Sixth uncle, I have one thing I want you to do."
Zhao Mianze didn't nod or refute, but his face sank slightly and changed the topic.
He asked the king of a country in this way, in fact, it was a bit beyond the etiquette system. But Zhao Kai has always been close to Zhao Mianze, and he is also his confidant, with a large internal forbidden army closely related to Zhao Mianze's net worth, and the relationship between the two has reached such a point, it is indeed much closer than others.
Zhao Kai didn't answer and asked, "Could it be that Your Majesty thinks so...... King Jin? β
"Is that true?"
It didn't seem that the assassin would be Zhao Gou's person, and Zhao Mianze was a little surprised.
"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers put the thieves captured in the Wei Mansion into a prison and interrogated overnight. But the minister never expected that they were calling the lord in their mouths, but in fact, it was ......" Zhao Kai dragged his voice, glanced at him, and hesitated for a moment before adding: "...... It is the person of the King of Qin. β
Zhao Kai glanced left and right, and stopped talking. Zhao Mianze frowned, raised his hand and waved, and waited for He Cheng'an, Jiao Yu and the other people waiting on the left and right to retreat, before he softened his voice and said politely and politely, "Sixth uncle, please say, who did it?" β
"Say!" Zhao Mianze had only one word, and his expression was sad.
"Your Majesty, the assassins of the Duke of Wei have eyebrows."
All the ministers had their own tasks, and they all knelt down and retreated to prepare for the funeral, but only Zhao Kai stayed. He stood obediently under the dan pier and carried his hand to report.
The front of this dish is all routine, and the sentence added at the back is very strange, but it is also serious. On the other hand, Zhao Mianze has obviously increased his vigilance, and it also really reflects that he, the new monarch who has been carefully cultivated by Emperor Hongtai for more than 20 years, actually has an iron-fisted political heart under his gentle and elegant appearance.
"For the mourning of the Empress Dowager, it is really unlucky and unfilial to use soldiers. Spread the decree of the Emperor, from now on, the Immortal Decree and Edict will not allow the major battalions, guards, and offices to mobilize a single soldier regardless of whether they are inside or outside Gyeonggi. Those who violate the order shall be punished for the crime of treason with the enemy. β
At the end, he looked around, sighed sadly, and added.
"The Empress Dowager is in great swing, and the world mourns. Spread my will, and prepared an urgent document of 800 miles to inform the four seas and tell the vassal king. The king of An, the king of Ning, the king of Xiang, the king of Wu and others quickly returned to Beijing to mourn, and ordered the king of Qin, the king of Jin, and the king of Su in Beijing to mourn together. Officials of all ministries, institutes, temples, divisions, prefectures and all localities are not allowed to entertain, sing and dance, marry, celebrate birthdays, or ...... during the funeral period of the Empress Dowager Daxing Violators will be severely punished. β
Zhao Mianze's eyes were red, he took the draft names and read them one by one, lifted the case to the imperial pen, and outlined a "filial piety, Gongxian, Rensu, Cihuizhuang, and Jingtian Chengde Empress Dowager" and handed it to Lan Zi'an. When he was ordered to retreat, he put his fingers on his forehead and choked out in grief.
A noble woman, who has enjoyed all her life of wealth and glory, has been given a nickname for her last honor.
"Your Majesty, please decide on the title of Empress Dowager."
After the performance was completed, the filial sons and grandsons discussed after half a cup of tea, and presented the dozens of titles of the Empress Dowager to Zhao Mianze.
The civil and military officials who knelt on the ground in the Hanzhang Hall shouted long live.
"Your Majesty's mourning, the ministers will never give upβ"
After his reminder, Zhao Mianze looked back at him as if he had just remembered, nodded approvingly, and said in a dumb voice, "The emperor's grandfather is seriously ill in bed, and he has lived in the Qianqing Palace for a long time. Ladies and gentlemen, I am very upset when I suffer from this disaster, so the matter after the death of the Empress Dowager, I will work on you. β
"Your Majesty, please mourn, the Empress Dowager has gone, but the things behind her have not yet settled......"
After a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Lan Zi'an sniffed and bowed down to admonish.
"Hmm", Zhao Mianze choked and nodded, and He Chengan and Lan Zi'an waited to change into filial piety clothes, ran to the bedside, and whimpered again at the body of the Empress Dowager. The tears of the emperor caused great sorrow in the palace.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has seen the Buddha, and she is already in the sky, please obey your filial piety."
Lan Zi'an wiped her tears, put on a filial piety dress, and stepped forward.
For a while, there were bursts of crying and whimpering in the hall, so it was not mournful.
"Master! Slaves...... It's good to just go with you...... "Mama Sun waited for the Empress Dowager for the longest time, and she couldn't help crying bitterly, crying out to the sky and grabbing the earth.
"Grandmother Huang, why did you go like this? Don't wait to see your grandchildren......"
Since Zhao Mianze can remember, his imperial grandmother has treated him very kindly. In his heart, the emperor's grandmother was benevolent and generous, virtuous and dignified, and followed the emperor's grandfather to work day and night, for the country and home, and she was really a rare strange woman in the world. Now that he has passed away suddenly, he remembered her good intentions in recent times, and he couldn't help but burst out a few tears of filial piety.
When Zhao Mianze returned to Hanzhang Hall from the Wei Mansion, the chaos in the palace continued. The Empress Dowager has been changed into a shroud by Mama Sun and several other close attendants, and is lying peacefully on the bed, her face is calm, and she does not seem to be in pain, which can be regarded as the end of her life.
~
Closing her eyes, she was puzzled.
It's just that Master Daochang said that "the son and mother died", and now that her daughter is born, she is fine, she is still alive and well, and her daughter is fine, does it mean that she is okay to give birth to a daughter, and it will be okay to give birth to a son?
Everything is providential.
Her birth was the father and mother who protected her. If she hadn't been born early, even if she waited a few more hours, I am afraid it would have caused a catastrophe. If it weren't for Zhao Zun who seized the opportunity and got rid of the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to be so good today.
When she was going to die or live in the underground hall before, she also complained about why her little girl chose to be born at this time. Now that I think about it, this little baby of her family is the most sensible and caring child in the world.
It's dangerous!
Xia Chuqi's stomach was not pregnant, and the affairs in the palace were indeed urgent, Zhao Mianze did not delay any longer, and led the people out of Chuci Courtyard in a hurry, and left the Wei State Mansion. Xia Chuqi watched the corners of his clothes swing out of the threshold, and his clenched fists were released, and he let out a long breath and collapsed on the bed.
"Yes." He Chengan wiped the cold sweat from his head.
"Take it and go back to the palace to give it to the ladies."
After thinking about it, he lowered his head and smiled, and turned his head to look at He Chengan.
In this case, in the whole world, except for Chu Qi, there is probably no one else!
Squinting slightly, he looked at the serious woman in front of him, a little incredulous.
Wen Crepe "chirped" a lot, and when she said to the end, Zhao Mianze finally understood what she meant.
She raised her eyebrows, smiled, and said, "There are a lot of delicacies in the palace, and cucumbers are really ordinary and vulgar." But in the end, it's my heart, Your Majesty will accept it, right? If you can't eat, there are so many concubines in the palace, there is always something to eat. Even the concubines can't eat it, but they can always use it. After all, with His Majesty alone, even if he has the heart, he is afraid that he will not be powerless, and it is inevitable that he will neglect to take care of the Sixth Palace. If you can't go every day, send a few cucumbers to appease, which is also the grace of the Sacred Heart. β
Zhao Mianze's eyes froze, and he didn't know why.
Xia Chuqi looked at the table with a smile. In a sandalwood tray on the table, there were a few green cucumbers brought by Zhao Zhu when he came over tonight, and Cui Shengsheng looked particularly eye-catching. Her eyes rolled around, and she said with a smile, "Those cucumbers are all fresh, I asked someone to pick them, and Your Majesty will take them back for use." β
"What?"
As soon as she called out in a coquettish voice, Zhao Mianze felt like he was scratched by a cat, and he couldn't wait to turn back.
Seeing that he was about to leave, the corners of Xia Chuqi's lips curled, and he suddenly stopped him, "Your Majesty, wait a minute." β
Depend on! The person who caused the trouble, it was clearly him, right?
"No need." Zhao Mianze interrupted him, his eyes flashed, he turned around with the back of his hand, faced the door, and said in a low voice, "I'll go back to the palace, the queen is not in good health, so I will rest in the mansion, and in the future, don't go out of the mansion at will, so as not to cause trouble." β
"Whoa! The minions are saved, and this goesβ"
Zheng Erbao only recovered from the panic at this time, his eyes withdrew from her deflated abdomen, and he let out a long breath of turbidity.
Xia Chuqi glanced at it with resentment, "Your Majesty is here, why don't you invite you out for tea?" β
"Ahh
"Erbao father-in-law, why are you not sensible?"
"Since Your Majesty is here, and the Empress Dowager doesn't want to take care of it, then I will eat tea outside first and wait, let me change my clothes, and then come to accompany me?" Xia Chuqi was holding his weak body at this time, and he didn't want to talk to him for a long time. After laughing and provoking him, he turned his head to look at Zheng Erbao, whose face was gray and uneven.
Zhao Mianze had a grudge in his heart, but listening to her demonic mockery, he frowned, and his face was slightly feverish. In any case, he is a royal man with a good background and a good education, and it was not a gentleman's work to break into the girl's door in the middle of the night and forcibly open the tent, but now he didn't see what he wanted to see, but let Xia Chuqi grab his pigtails, which was really embarrassing.
What is "guilty of sleeping naked"? She is completely tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall.
Glancing at her bare shoulders again, Zhao Mianze's eyes deepened slightly. Seeing this, Xia Chuqi smiled coquettishly, "But even if I am guilty of sleeping naked, Your Majesty wants to punish me, will it also damage the majesty of the emperor if I am so uninvited and peep at the tent?" β
"I'm used to sleeping naked, and I make Your Majesty smile."
Seeing that he was stunned, Xia Chuqi smiled and brushed his hair, lifted the quilt again, and yawned.
But the situation in the tent was different from what he imagined. The woman in the tent was lying on the bed, as if she had no clothes, her fair shoulders were exposed, and there was nothing unusual except for a slight paleness, a slightly messy hair, and a slightly haggard appearance. What's more, although she is covered with a quilt, the quilt is not thick, and the curves of her body can be seen at a glance. The abdomen is flat, which is not quite consistent with the news that she has been pregnant for nearly eight months.
With a cold snort, he said in a calm voice, and suddenly opened the tent.
"The queen prevaricated in every possible way and refused to see me. In that case, I had to do it myself. β
"Zhao Mianze!" Xia Chuqi called him by his name, and his voice was cold, "What are you going to do?" β
It was probably the death of the Empress Dowager, coupled with today's attack, coupled with Xia Chuqi's refusal, which made him run out of patience, and he didn't even want to say another superfluous word, so he waved He Chengan's hand away and strode over, walked to Xia Chuqi's tent, and raised his hand to pick up the tent.
How could Zhao Mianze not understand this guy's temperament? Especially now, everyone else has come to the bed, the more Xia Chuqi doesn't want to see him, the more he prevaricates, the more suspicious he is, and the more he wants to confirm.
"Shut up!"
"Hehe, a slave has a cheap life, and he is not afraid of death and injury. It's just that I'm worried about His Majesty's dragon health, so I ask Your Majesty not to ......"
"Minions...... No, not afraid. He Chengan said that he was not afraid, but how could he not be afraid? You have to know that the cold arrow from before was just a few inches away from him. Accidentally, he was the one who responded to the "Heavenly Tribulation" in advance. He has not yet come to enjoy his glory and wealth, so he doesn't want to die for no reason.
"Are you afraid?" Zhao Mianze's eyes were cold, and his voice was hazy.
"Your Majesty! The queen mother said very reasonably. As soon as the catastrophe is said, it should not be underestimated, anyway, your wedding with your mother is not a few months away, it is better to go back to the palace first and deal with the right thing. β
She said this differently, and no one would believe it. But if someone deliberately said that Zhao Mianze was attacked at the moment, then the death of the Empress Dowager is a fact. Therefore, whether Zhao Mianze believes it or not, the people next to him believe it anyway. The first person to step forward to stop him was He Chengan, who was dripping with sweat on his forehead, bowing his body with a very humble appearance, and his voice was also thick with timidity.
"Your Majesty is really not afraid of the catastrophe? came to the Wei State Mansion, and his life was almost guaranteed, not to mention, and now even the Empress Dowager has been robbed. If you insist on me again, won't you be afraid that something will happen again? β
The curtain was blowing in the wind, and the people inside were silent for a moment, and then smiled again.
"Yes, it's all here, and the queen doesn't want to see it?"
Zhao Mianze's body stiffened slightly, but he only paused for a moment before taking another step. There was no response, let alone consideration, and he stood straight in front of the bed about three feet away before he spoke low.
"It's all here, so come in and sit." Before he could step in, there was a weak voice in the tent in the middle of the room. It seems to be ridiculed, it seems to be ridiculed, and it seems to be resentful, but it is so soft that it smells like a drunk.
"It's coming" is a very magical phrase, it is a simple four words, but it can convince many people of reluctance. In the psychological state of "come and come, take a look and don't bother", no one persuaded him anymore. Zhao Mianze didn't give people a chance to persuade him, and pushed the door open.
"I've come here, I have to see Xiao Qi."
Zhao Mianze's eyes were cold, he hesitated for a moment, and landed on the door again.
In the cold silence, Jiao Yu paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, now that the palace is in chaos, do you want to go back to the palace to deal with it first?" β
Qinglan glanced at him, secretly relieved, looked at the closed door in front of him, did not dare to step forward, did not dare to persuade him, and did not dare to say anything, so he could only wait and see what happened, thinking that if he gave up entering the room and turned away.
Zhao Mianze froze on the spot, motionless.
Jiao Yu's words were like thunder in the sky, and as soon as they exploded, the people who entered their ears were stunned, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
The Empress Dowager?
