Lu Yuchen felt disgusted at Cheng Yun's miserable face even if he looked at her more, he quickly put on his clothes and walked out of Cheng Yun's yard.

The person sent by the Protector to protect Lu Yuchen was already waiting for him in the courtyard, and he went in to get his luggage and left.

When Cheng Yun came to Lu Yuchen's courtyard with food, Lu Yuchen had already left, and she stood there with extremely bitter heart.

Lu Yuchen set off with the guards, although they had observed, they had not found anyone from the capital secretly staring at them these days, but they were still very careful, for fear that one would accidentally let others discover their whereabouts.

Lu Yuchen wore a human skin mask, as if he had become another person, they pretended to be businessmen, their tricks were okay for ordinary people, but it was not easy to fool the people of the Qingtian Pavilion, Lu Yuchen had just left with his front foot, and the people of the Qingtian Pavilion secretly followed.

In the palace, a minister played a song, saying that the Western Regions intended to send the princess over to make peace.

The emperor listened to the opinions of the ministers, who is this princess and relatives of the Western Regions to whom do you want to marry her? can be worthy of the princess, it must be a prince level character, the eldest prince is in the prison, it is obviously inappropriate, and now the only one in the palace who can be worthy of the princess is the ninth prince Chu Wang.

The emperor asked the minister in charge of this matter to reply to the Western Regions, but the Western Regions said that their princess wanted to marry the emperor.

This made the emperor very angry, the king of the Western Regions was so ignorant, and let their princess be the concubine of the king of Chu, he was still not satisfied, and he actually wanted his daughter to be his concubine.

And the ministers originally got a hint from the Emperor Taishang, asking them to put pressure on the emperor and let the emperor choose a concubine, this time there is such a good opportunity, how could they let it go, in the entire hall, except for Jing Yuanhou and General Cheng Shao, almost all the ministers are persuading the emperor to accept the princess of the Western Regions as a concubine.

The emperor's face darkened suddenly, and he said coldly: "I have long said that I will not choose a concubine, and only one queen is enough in my harem, what do you mean by this?" Is it the wind in my ears when I speak? ”

Taishi Li stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please think twice, the king of the Western Regions asked the princess to make peace with us, just to make friends with us, in case, if the emperor does not agree, then they will feel that we are not sincere, maybe they will send troops." ”

"Oh, just because I don't marry his daughter as a concubine, he's going to send troops? I want to see how capable this King of the Western Regions really is? The emperor looked at Li Taishi coldly.

Taishi Li was a little furious in his heart by the emperor's unwarm eyes, and cold sweat broke out, but he was unwilling to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if he could persuade the emperor to marry the princess of the Western Regions as a concubine, then it would be much easier to persuade the emperor to accept a concubine in the future, so he could send his daughter to the palace.

Jing Yuanhou stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if the Western Regions send troops, Weichen is willing to lead the troops to the battle." ”

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Li Taishi still looked very tough, "If the two countries go to war, it will be the people who will suffer!" In order to avoid the misery of life, Weichen asked the emperor to think twice! ”

At this time, another minister stood up, "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

The emperor looked at these people and gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”

As he spoke, he brushed his sleeves and left, leaving behind a group of ministers.

The emperor returned to the imperial study with an angry face, only to feel that there was nowhere to come out of the anger in his stomach.

Cheng Xi is playing with his son in Weiyang Palace, the little guy is very elf, babbling all day long, as long as someone plays with him, he is very happy, once no one pays attention to him, he gets angry, and cries when he is angry, Cheng Xi almost does nothing now, just plays with him.

Cheng Xi found that in addition to his son like to play, he also likes to listen to her tell stories, although he can't understand it, but once he hears Cheng Xi tell a story, he will listen very quietly, not noisy or noisy, so Cheng Xi tells stories to his son more often.

Cheng Xi overheard people in the palace whispering, saying that the emperor was angry in the early dynasty today, as if it was because the king of the Western Regions wanted to send the princess to the emperor as a concubine.

Cheng Xi's face changed, the emperor could turn away all the daughters of the ministers, but the daughter of the king of the Western Regions was probably not so easy to refuse, if it was not handled well, it would cause war.

Although his father and eldest brother are both brave and good at fighting, once a war is started, there will definitely be casualties, Cheng Xi is really unwilling to let his father and eldest brother take risks, nor do he want to watch their soldiers get injured.

In the evening, the emperor came to Weiyang Palace, and Cheng Xi greeted him, "Your Majesty, you're done." ”

"Yes! Xi'er, what's wrong with you? Why don't you look so happy? The emperor asked.

"Is there something about the emperor that makes it difficult to make a decision?" Cheng Xi asked straight to the point.

The emperor's face sank, did Cheng Xi know? Who leaked this matter in the court?

In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he didn't want to believe that that person deliberately let people release the news for Cheng Xi to know in order to let him agree to the concubine.

"It's nothing, Xi'er, you don't have to worry about me, there's nothing that can't be solved for your husband." The emperor stroked Cheng Xi's long hair and said tenderly.

"Ah Qing, you don't have to lie to me, I know everything, I know that you are very embarrassed, in fact, you don't have to think about me, I know that if you don't agree, it may lead to war, although Xi'er doesn't want to share your love with other women, but Xi'er doesn't want to let the people be hurt!" Cheng Xi said very seriously.

"Xi'er!" The emperor took Cheng Xi into his arms, such an understanding woman, how he didn't like it, but he really didn't want her to be wronged.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the people, you will agree! Xi'er won't blame you! Cheng Xi leaned into his arms, wrapped his hands around his waist, and listened to his powerful heartbeat.

The emperor pondered for a moment and said: "Xi'er, my husband agreed, but don't worry, if she wants to be my concubine, she will give her this title, but I will not spoil her, let her go alone in the empty room!" ”

Cheng Xi looked at the emperor's serious appearance, the corners of his mouth curled, perhaps, this is the best way to solve the problem.

The next morning, the emperor unexpectedly agreed to the princess of the Naxi Regions as a concubine, Li Taishi and all the ministers felt relieved, only Jing Yuanhou and General Cheng Shao felt a little uncomfortable, but they didn't say anything, since the emperor decided so, there must be his considerations.

When he went to the next court, the emperor asked Jing Yuanhou and General Cheng Shao to stay, and he said to them: "Please rest assured that the prince and uncle will not let the queen be wronged, I will definitely deal with the princess of the Western Regions, she likes to be a concubine who guards the empty house alone, and I will fulfill her." ”

After receiving such a promise from the emperor, Jing Yuanhou and General Cheng Shao were a little surprised, but they were also a little flattered, they all said that as long as the emperor could use them, they would definitely go to the soup and go to the fire.

The emperor went down to the court, returned to the imperial study, and called Qin Dong, who is now the head of the emperor's secret guard, and is also the bridge between the emperor and the Qingtian Pavilion.

The emperor wrote a letter and asked him to send a message to the rudder of the Qingtian Pavilion in the Western Regions to do something for him.

The king of the Western Regions was very happy when he got the news that the emperor had agreed to make the princess of the Western Regions his concubine, but within a few days, he sent a team of guards to escort the princess all the way into Beijing.

And after Lu Yuchen left the town, he ran to Shudi, and the people of Qingtian Pavilion also followed all the way, they found that after Lu Yuchen arrived in Shudi, they began to look for a woman, but they didn't know who this woman was?

The Protector told Lu Yuchen that when he arrived in Yizhou, he went to find Li Yuanwai, the woman was in Li Yuanwai's courtyard, Lu Yuchen found Li Yuanwai, and Li Yuanwai turned out the letter handed over by Lu Yuchen, which was a handwritten letter written by the Protector to Li Yuanwai.

"It turned out to be the prince of the world! The old man didn't know that it was the prince who came, and he missed the welcome. Although Li Yuanwai said this, he didn't mean much respect, after all, the Protector has now fallen, and everyone knows that they have been demoted to commoners, but he is just looking at the fact that the Lu family still has a certain foundation, and he is also called the prince of Lu Yuchen.

"Li Yuanwai, my father asked me to come here to pick up the woman who lives in your courtyard." Lu Yuchen said.

"Oh, okay, but that woman has been sick recently, I'm afraid I won't be able to travel far for the time being, the prince can live in the old man's mansion for a while, and then set off when the woman is well." Li Yuanwai said.

"Uh......" Lu Yuchen hesitated a little, his father asked him to take someone back as soon as he saw him, don't delay, but now that people are sick, how can this be good? He thought for a moment and said, "Then please ask Li Yuan to take me to see the woman's situation before making a decision." ”

"Good!" Li Yuanwai readily agreed.

The people of Qingtian Pavilion secretly followed Lu Yuchen to Li Yuanwai's courtyard and saw the woman, this woman was lying on the bed, looking very haggard, but he couldn't see that she was a beautiful embryo, and what surprised him was that this woman's appearance was seven or eight points similar to the current emperor.

A thought crossed his mind, and when he returned to his residence, he immediately wrote a secret letter and drew a portrait, and the flying pigeon sent the book to the capital.

Before he received the news from the capital, he and his companions had been secretly paying attention to the woman, but, it was a pity, it seemed that Lu Yuchen didn't know what the identity of this woman was.

After several days, the woman's illness didn't seem to improve much, and Lu Yuchen said to Li Yuanwai: "Li Yuanwai, my father is still waiting for me to take her back, I can't wait any longer, I will take her away tomorrow." ”

Although Li Yuanwai was a little worried about the woman's illness, he didn't say anything about keeping it, and when Lu Yuchen decided to take the woman, the people of Qingtian Pavilion decided to do a big thing.
