The victory and defeat were slowly divided in the square, and the forbidden army was once again repulsed, and the two sides rested briefly.

Li Bohao's words finally gave Chen Shou a little hope, and he began to order to defend the West Palace.

Jin Yuwei's people piled the corpses of the forbidden army on the ground at the door to block the road, and when they saw Chen Shou putting on a defensive posture, the opposite side was in a hurry.

A group of people shouted and shouted outside the West Palace, and there were only a few who dared to rush to the door, and the golden feather guards held their arms and looked coldly at the enemy under the wall, ready to stab down those who dared to rush and climb at any time.

It's a pity that the forbidden army is now an empty shelf, and it is said that the wall of the West Palace is so high that three people are there, even if it is an ordinary low wall, it is difficult for them to cross it.

Chen Shou took Li Bohao and others, together with Miao De, and retreated to Yongle Palace.

He sat down on the ground and felt the pain all over his body, especially his calves and crotch, which hurt like pins and needles after standing in the ice and snow for a long time.

"Feng'er... The wind is a little cold, where is the eldest lady? ”

Zhao Hong dismantled a few mahogany door panels, split them into pieces and lit a bonfire, and the hall was a little warmer.

Li Bohao stretched out his hand to bake the fire and said: "In a palace at the back, that place is very strange, just an old palace maid, full of evil nature. ”

Before Chen Shou could speak, Miao De sighed faintly: "That's Concubine Zhao..."

"Yes, yes, Miao Daguan, it turns out that there is really a Concubine Zhao in our palace, why haven't you heard of it before?"

Chen Shou suddenly understood, his surname was Zhao... is so special, I'm afraid it's the daughter of Prince Fufeng, that is, the niece of Emperor Gengyuan.

was also a beauty who captivated the country and the city back then, otherwise she would not have been remembered by Emperor Gengyuan, and when Emperor Gengyuan ascended the throne, she was already married.

"Godfather?"

Miao De saw Chen Shou's inquiring gaze and nodded slightly, and Chen Shou couldn't help but sigh.

This dog emperor is really dirty, he deserves to be put on such a role by his son, no wonder so many people want the Zhao family to die. In addition to the talents of Taizu Tianzhong, the royal family of Daqi expelled the Tartars and restored China, and did not make immortal achievements. The others are all mediocre birdmen with a cold nature.

It's a pity that since ancient times, heroes have been like beauties, and they don't let the world see white heads, and Taizu actually fell into the water and died when crossing the river.

Li Bohao saw the two of them frowning, and said dissatisfiedly: "Who is this Concubine Zhao, why haven't you heard of it before?" ”

Chen Shou snorted and said, "It's a very old concubine, don't ask." Now that this palace is mixed, how can you rest assured that the eldest lady is in a side hall, hurry up and lead the way, and I will pick her up. ”

After saying that, he struggled to get up, and several personal soldiers behind him immediately followed.

Li Bohao was a little moved, got up and patted his buttocks, and said, "Brother Shou, you didn't say anything to our general's mansion and the Li family!" ”

Chen Shou touched his nose and said curtly: "Let's go, don't say a word." ”

The concubines' bedrooms, most of them were in the West Palace, and the group came to an inconspicuous courtyard from behind, and Chen Shou stepped in.

The hall is very deserted, at first glance, it is perennial non-burning beast charcoal, in previous years, it was okay, this winter may not be able to survive this Zhao Fei.

Chen Shou glanced at the hall, they were all some guards brought by Li Lingfeng, and a few maids recognized him, and their eyes turned red.

"Lord Chen, eldest lady, she is inside."

When women are in danger, they inevitably think of their own men, these maids all know the relationship between Chen Shou and Li Lingfeng, compared to the prince who lies in bed all day, Chen Shou is more like their male host.

Chen Shou nodded, and quickly turned into the back room, Li Bohao stepped forward curiously, shook it in front of the little girl with red eyes, and asked with a gossipy face: "Xiaoying, what did you cry when you saw Chen Shou?" ”

Xiao Ying's face flushed, turned her head, and said, "I want you to take care of it." ”

Li Bohao pinched his chin, pouted his mouth, and muttered: "It's good for his mother to be handsome." ”

----

While thinking about how to get out of trouble, Chen Shou stepped into the dormitory, where Li Lingfeng and several personal maids were inside.

Chen Shou put away his sword and said with a smile: "It's too dangerous here, I'll pick you up." ”

His eyes were seeing Li Lingfeng's tearful eyes, it was rare to see her with such a look, her eyes were full of worry and nervousness, and she seemed to be crying at any time.

Chen Shou's heart softened, he took a step forward and opened the curtain, only to find that a middle-aged woman was still sitting on the futon on the couch.

"What a familiar appearance..."Chen Shou was slightly stunned, and then remembered, isn't this another Su Qiongzhi.

It's just that Su Qiongzhi is much younger than her, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes are the same style.

Chen Shou immediately understood, but he didn't say it, and said with his fists clenched: "I've seen... Your Highness. ”

"You are Chen Shou, I heard the crown princess talk about you just now, and I also heard my emperor mention you, you are the loyal and brave uncle who gave His Majesty alchemy, and you are indeed a hero and a young man."

Because of Su Qiongzhi's relationship, Chen Shou had a little more respect for her, and said: "Now the palace is too chaotic, there are more than 100,000 idle people and other miscellaneous people, there are no guards here, it is really dangerous, is Your Highness willing to leave with us?" ”

Chen Shou didn't have many people, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time, and while talking, he motioned with his eyes to Li Lingfeng to pack up and prepare to leave.

Concubine Zhao had some fear in her eyes, and her voice became a little timid, "I... I haven't been out in a long time. ”

Chen Shou was in his heart, this is the real poor person, her identity must not be exposed, so Emperor Gengyuan will definitely guard it strictly, and it is strange that he is willing to let her out.

"Your Highness, there is no charcoal fire here, and in such a cold weather, it will be difficult to stay here even if you are not disturbed by the rebels."

Concubine Zhao had been at war for a long time in her heart, but after all, she bit her lip and nodded, "Then you wait for me for a while, I... I'll change my clothes. ”

Chen Shou nodded, Concubine Zhao detoured to the bedroom inside, and Chen Shou waved his hand to let the maids out.

A group of maids came out of the dormitory, and Li Lingfeng was deliberately late for a while to be the last to leave.

Chen Shou smiled at her, took out a chicken leg wrapped in oiled paper that was still hot from his arms, and said, "Hungry, right?" ”

Li Lingfeng wrinkled his nose and whispered, "It's so dirty." ”

"Then do you want to eat?"

"Eat!"

The two laughed together, and Li Lingfeng's irritability and worry for many days were swept away, and his eyes became smart again. As long as we can face it together, no matter how dangerous it is, we are not afraid, and it is a big deal to die together.

When the two of them were tired and crooked, Concubine Zhao came out from behind, with a little nervousness on her face, and stammered: "Chen... Chen Shou, let's go? ”

Chen Shou sighed again in his heart, if a man has no power, he can't keep his woman, and let her be tortured so inhumanly for decades, it is really worse than death.

Concubine Zhao was imprisoned here by Emperor Gengyuan, and even when she left the palace gate, she could be nervous like this. Back then, this was the proud daughter of the sky, the prince's daughter, and she didn't know what she was spoiled when she married into her husband's family.

"Your Highness, please!"
