In the thirteenth year of Chengping, Emperor Zhou Hui took the deceased Empress Yuan Houzhen and the second concubine of Dexian and other concubines, and the powerful people at that time, to Changlu Mountain to hold a hunting meeting. But it was at the hunting meeting that year, in Changlu Mountain, which was surrounded by the Longshuo army so dense that not even a fly could fly in, Empress Zhen and several favorite concubines of the saint at that time were actually tied hostage by the assassins who failed to assassinate Emperor Zhou Hui, and were tied into the belly of Changlu Mountain as a life-saving shield for ten days.

At that time, this incident was a sensation in the world, and not only in the Great Zhou, but even the neighboring countries of the Great Zhou were shocked by this matter. On the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor was assassinated, and the emperor and queen were also kidnapped by gangsters, which made the Great Zhou royal family lose face, which naturally became a taboo for Emperor Zhou Hui in the future.

But in the end, although the result of the kidnapping incident in Changlu Mountain was to successfully destroy the assassins and safely rescue Queen Zhen. But this matter, on the surface, only seems to be the fact that the favorite concubines of Emperor Zhou Hui who were tied up by the assassins in the mountains with Empress Zhen were all lifeless in the end, but they were covered up.

And three months after this incident, Queen Zhen announced that she was pregnant, and now although there is nothing strange about rumors, but at that time, because Queen Zhen was kidnapped by the assassins, and she also spent nearly ten days with the assassins in the mountains, if people say that Queen Zhen is pregnant in such a sensitive time, there is no doubt that there is no doubt. That's impossible.

Moreover, even if people really didn't go to the point of suspicion at that time, they went through countless disasters of "people with hearts". What kind of catastrophe it would have caused at that time, you can guess now when you think about it.

And back then, it was indeed like this, after the manipulation of many "well-intentioned people", Queen Zhen's reputation was extremely damaged, and even worse, on Changlu Mountain. The person who finally rescued Empress Zhen was Dongfang Zhan, the leader of the Longshuo Army at that time, Shenwu General.

At that time, the Assassins kidnapped Empress Zhen and several of Emperor Zhou Hui's favorite concubines and retreated into the mountains, because the Assassins had these absolute hostages in their hands. Therefore, it was a stalemate between the two sides at that time. In the end, it was the leader of the Longshuo army, the Shenwu general Dongfang Zhan, who single-handedly infiltrated the deep mountains and went around to the back of the narrow valley where the assassins were entrenched. Nine deaths rescued Queen Zhen.

It stands to reason. This Dongfang Zhan general rescued Empress Zhen, and he should have been a great hero of the Great Zhou, but the bad thing is that Dongfang Zhan is not only the leader of the Longshuo Army at that time, General Shenwu, but also has another identity, that is, the cousin of Empress Zhen.

And there is also a top-secret secret in this, that is, back then, before Empress Zhen married Emperor Zhou Hui, who was still the crown prince, Empress Zhen was originally with her cousin Dongfang Zhan. Since childhood, they have been childhood sweethearts, love each other, and the two families are also world friends. A marriage contract has been made for them a long time ago. Later, if it weren't for the branch, an accident occurred, which made Dongfang Zhan have to marry the daughter of the first assistant at that time, which led to the breakdown of the marriage contract between Empress Zhen and Dongfang Zhan, and Empress Nazhen would never have married Emperor Zhou Hui.

But even so, even if Empress Zhen has been married to Emperor Zhou Hui for many years, Dongfang Zhan has given birth to several children with his wife, but in Emperor Zhou Hui's heart, Dongfang Zhan has always been like a fishbone in his throat, which has made him uncomfortable and uncomfortable for many years.

If it weren't for the fact that when Emperor Zhou Hui had just ascended to the throne and the court was unstable, it was Dongfang Zhan who led the Longshuo army to deter many voices of opposition, and made a lot of efforts for Emperor Zhou Hui to sit firmly in the future, and he was a great hero, and the Dongfang family was also a century-old clan with high morality and deep foundation, then it is estimated that Dongfang Zhan would have been eliminated by Emperor Zhou Hui a long time ago.

But because of this, after Empress Zhen was rescued by Dongfang Zhan, Emperor Zhou Hui was more sensitive and angry about the two of them staying alone in the mountains for two days because they were chasing and killing the assassins, even more sensitive and angry than the ten-day period when Empress Zhen was coerced into the mountains by the gangsters. What's more, after that, Queen Zhen was pregnant, and Emperor Zhou Hui was provoked by "people with a heart" in this sensitive period of anger and suspicion, and the result would be shocking and terrifying.

And the facts have also proved that during the period when Empress Zhen was pregnant, with the connivance of Emperor Zhou Hui, the two concubines De and Xian joined forces to snatch the power of Empress Zhen in the palace, and after that, they dragged the control of the palace except for Fengyu Palace step by step in their own hands, so that Queen Zhen was finally isolated.

What's more, when Queen Zhen gave birth to Xie Jing, if the imperial doctor had come in a timely manner and handled it properly, Queen Zhen would not have died at all, all of this was a conspiracy.

But there are many theories about the death of Empress Zhen at that time, and there has been no definite evidence, so these have always been passed on as gossip. Besides, time has passed, and no one dared to mention this matter back then, and it was only something that people dared to mention quietly when they whispered in the bed at night, so today, this matter is even more confusing.

But with the death of Empress Zhen, not only did Empress Zhen's mother family suddenly begin to withdraw her family forces from the Shendu, but even the Dongfang family, under the decision of Dongfang Zhan's sudden resignation, moved back to the ancestral land, and did not march to the south of the Yangtze River like Empress Zhen's mother's family. As for all the sons and daughters of the families who are still serving in the court cabinet, they are generally either deposed by mistake in the fastest time, or they automatically put forward the will to return to their hometown.

And it is also like this, the once glorious century-old wealthy family retreated from the historical stage of the Great Zhou Dynasty in a short period of time, and in the following ten years, it gradually disappeared, so that people can no longer hear and see their figures. If it weren't for Xie Jing, the eldest son of the emperor who was the most sloppy and long-term emperor in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, still existed, then it is estimated that people would not remember it at all, in the Great Zhou, there was also such a family of Rong Xianhe.

And the kidnapping of Changlu Mountain developed to that time. The result was that there were waves of turmoil in the Great Week, not only did a queen die, but even the forces above the gods and the court were also reshuffled.

But if we really talk about the most far-reaching incident affected by the kidnapping of Changlu Mountain. Of course, it can only belong to Xie Jing. Originally, he was supposed to be born as the only legitimate heir of the Great Zhou, and Xie Jing, the eldest son of the most noble and special emperor of the Great Zhou, but because of the incident of Changlu Mountain, the trajectory of his life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

……

Summer has come to an end, but the climate is still as hot as ever, and it has not cooled down at all. But Xu Youshan, who was in the house at this time. But I can't feel a little bit of temperature, and it's abnormal to the extreme. On weekdays, don't say that the ice basin is like this. Stained with Xu Yourong's light, she can be so close to her, as long as Xu Youshan has an ice basin within the range that can be seen, she will be happy.

Available now. Xu Youshan is very unusual, very much hoping that someone can come and move these ice basins. Or someone can come and shake her away from her now, don't be here anymore, because she really feels so cold at this time, and she can't help shivering all over her body.

It's a conspiracy, a complete conspiracy!

"At that time, the saint simply acquiesced to the actions of Concubine De and Concubine Xian, and at that time, the entire palace was basically controlled by Concubine De and Concubine Xian. Even if they have the right thing to be, with the tacit consent of the Holy One. It just can't help Queen Zhen or anything. Therefore, the ancestor said such a sentence: If the Holy Lord owes Queen Zhen and His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I am afraid that he will never be able to pay it back. ”

Xu Mingcheng said in a low voice, Xu Youshan also listened quietly, and about how Empress Zhen's mother helped Emperor Zhou Hui sit on the throne, Xu Youshan didn't need Xu Mingcheng to say it anymore, and she also knew. After all, the Xu family was also on the side of Emperor Zhou Hui at that time, so what happened at that time is now clear to the Xu family.

But the more she knew, the colder Xu Youshan felt, Emperor Zhou Hui was so ruthless and unrighteous, and it was so heart-wrenching that Xu Youshan would never have thought that the person who forced Xie Jing to a desperate situation with his own hands turned out to be Emperor Zhou Huidi.

And the reason, is it just for such a ridiculous reason? Xu Youshan clenched her hands violently, her eyes lowered, and she asked Xu Mingcheng in a low voice that made her voice no longer tremble: "Sister Huan, you say, do you really think that Queen Zhen ......... Does the Holy One really think that His Highness is not his child? ”

"I don't know." Xu Mingcheng also replied in a low voice: "If the Holy Lord really thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not his child, then according to the Holy Lord's cool heart, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will not be able to live until now, even if Queen Zhen arranged it well before she died, or no matter how well His Royal Highness the King of Chu's foreign family protected him, as long as the Holy Lord sincerely wants His Royal Highness the King of Chu to disappear, no one can stop him at all." It's just that if the saint knows that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is his child, then why would he bear to treat him like this? ”

At this time, medicine can already be determined about blood, so if Emperor Zhou Hui wants to find out whether Xie Jing is his child, it is really simple, but if Emperor Zhou Hui already knows what the facts are, then how can it get to the point where it is today?

Xu Youshan was silent, her distress for Xie Jing now is really to the point of no return, if it weren't for the sound of Xu Yourong and Xu Chen who were still arguing not far away, which kept ravaging Xu Youshan's ears, and also reminding her that she should be calm now, then she might really run out to find Xie Jing desperately and want to hug him and cry.

Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan were a little unusually silent, but Xu Yourong and Xu Chen, who had been fighting for the pastries, didn't notice that there was something wrong with the two of them at all, because what was placed in front of Xu Yourong and Xu Chen was a long-lost delicacy, and they missed this time, and they didn't know when they would be able to eat it again.

So at this time, in the eyes of Xu Yourong and Xu Chen, there is only the food in front of them, in addition to these delicacies, who can see other people and things? Therefore, Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan were naturally automatically and spontaneously ignored by Xu Yourong, otherwise they would definitely be able to find out for the first time that the atmosphere between the two could not be more depressing and sad.

"Princess!" And at this moment, Mother Liu broke in in a panic, startling Xu Youshan and a few people, after all, Mother Liu, who has always been steady, is really nothing but Mother Liu, and now the panic on her face can tell them that something big must have happened, otherwise it is really hard to see Mother Liu's panicked look at this time.

"What's wrong?" Xu Youshan's voice also unconsciously became nervous, and Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng also looked at Mother Liu, obviously they also saw that something must have happened.

"The eldest lady sent Miss Liu Yue to call the eldest lady and the second master back. Princess Beiding also sent people from the Beiding Royal Mansion to invite the eldest lady back to the palace. But after Xu Youshan's words were asked, Mother Liu calmed down and said in a trembling voice.

"My aunt and aunt have sent someone!" Xu Youshan and Xu Yourong looked at each other a few times, and then they all got up, it seems that something really big has happened, otherwise how could the Pei family and the princess of Beiding, Rui, send someone to find them back at the same time with such a tacit understanding? If this wasn't a particularly urgent matter, it would be impossible for the Pei family and them to act like this.

Therefore, Xu Youshan and Xu Yourong didn't say much, they got up and walked out of the clouds behind Bowei, and after Xu Youshan personally sent Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng out of the Chu Palace, she asked Mother Liu directly beside her: "Mother Liu, what happened, why did my uncle and grandmother send someone to find the eldest sister and them back so urgently?" Do you know. ”

Mother Liu glanced around, but did not answer Xu Youshan's question immediately, but signaled to Xu Youshan to return to Bowei and then Yun. And Xu Youshan saw that Liu's mother was so cautious, and after her heart couldn't help but sink a little more, she also urged the mothers-in-law who were carrying the soft sedan chair again, hoping that they could speed up their pace and hurry back to Bowei Houyun.

"Okay, Mother Liu, now that you've returned to Bowei Houyun, can you tell me what happened?" Xu Youshan asked Liu's mother a little anxiously.

"Princess." Mother Liu paused, and after stabilizing her voice again, she said to Xu Youshan with a straight face: "Just now, His Royal Highness King Li received a secret report from Zhengzhou and found that His Royal Highness the Third Prince had 30,000 private soldiers in Zhengzhou.
