Chapter 172: A Reward

The setting sun faded into the hills, and the tent was dark.

Chu Yu took out the fire fold prepared in advance and lit a candle.

The tent suddenly brightened.

Chu Yu, who had lit the candle, turned her head, but unexpectedly saw the Seventh Prince looking at her with a deep expression. His eyes were red, and the way he looked at her fixedly made Chu Yu's heart skip a beat.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? But what's wrong with it? Chu Yu paused and wondered.

The Seventh Prince looked away, lowered his head, didn't look at Chu Yu again, and just asked lightly, "Yu'er, will you betray me?" ”

Chu Yu frowned, "Why do you ask that?" ”

"Nothing, just wanted to ask."

"I am your wife. I'm naturally with you. I warned you of your assassination a long time ago. I thought you'd remember. If you ask me why I know someone has assassinated you, then I can't answer you. Chu Yu turned around and didn't look at the Seventh Prince.

"Why?" , The Seventh Prince looked at the somewhat stubborn back, and there was a moment of regret in his heart, regretting that he didn't trust her.

Chu Yu turned his head and smiled lightly, "If I said that I dreamed that you were killed, so I reminded you, do you believe it?" ”

"I believe it." , I don't know why, the Seventh Prince nodded subconsciously.

Chu Yu smiled and laughed out eight teeth. She was happy. She was glad he believed her.

The Seventh Prince rarely saw Chu Yu smile like this, and he was a little stunned all of a sudden.

The candlelight in the tent was faint, but it revealed a burst of warmth.

"That's good, you trust me, I'm happy." , Chu Yu was sincere, she was glad that he believed in her so much.

The Seventh Prince also hooked the corners of his mouth.

"The poison in you is the silver ring poison, this poison cannot be found in this place, that person must have carried this poison with him a long time ago, and calculated the day to poison you." , After pondering for a while, Chu Yu said again.

"Silver ring poison?"

"That's right, you saw that soldier before you were poisoned, but what impression do you have?"

The Seventh Prince pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't have any impression. ”

Chu Yu sighed and analyzed, "As soon as you made military achievements, someone came to assassinate you, this is not a coincidence, but a premeditated plan." ”

"I know." He could actually guess who it might be, but he wasn't sure yet.

"Do you have a candidate in mind?" , Chu Yu raised his eyes.

The Seventh Prince's expression was faint, "There is a candidate, I am not sure." ”

"That's it, you better let go of these things first, you have just cleared the residual poison now, and your body is weak, it's better to rest first."

"Okay, listen to you." , The Seventh Prince smiled, and a warmth flashed in his eyes that he had not even noticed.

Chu Yu smiled and turned around to clean up the mattress on the side.

The conditions of the temporarily set up tent are naturally relatively poor, but Chu Yu does not have many complaints, and the Seventh Prince naturally has no complaints.

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Yu helped the Seventh Prince wipe his back with a wet cloth, then helped him change his clothes and hurriedly went on the road.

This time, the Seventh Prince also sat in the carriage, after all, he was a patient.

The carriage clattered, and the wind blew through the windows, clattering.

This time, the driver of the car sped up a bit.

The Seventh Prince took Chu Yu's hand, but Chu Yu didn't care about him, so he let him hold it. She slept a little uncomfortably last night, and now she can close her eyes and recuperate.

Shuangqi on the side glanced at the movements of the two, and immediately withdrew her gaze, looking at her nose and nose, she didn't see anything.

After a day's hurried journey, they finally caught up with the Eighth Prince's large army.

Chu Yu was a little suspicious, in fact, they deliberately slowed down to allow them to catch up.

After catching up with the large army, they rested for a while on the nearby plain and then resumed their journey.

During this period, the Eighth Prince once rode over to greet the Seventh Prince's body, and was relieved to see that the Seventh Prince's face was ruddy and his body did not seem to have major damage.

Chu Bingze led the way in front and didn't come over to ask them, just glanced at them from a distance a few times and then gave up.

They continued their walk for two days, and only returned to the capital when the morning dew had dissipated.

When the guards of the capital saw the return of the Eight Princes, they opened the gates of the city and blew the horns of the bulls to celebrate their triumphant return.

When the people in the capital heard the sound of the horn, they stood up in the streets, and they all wanted to see the heroic appearance of the Eight Emperors, the god of war. The women in the capital are particularly fanatical. Although the Eighth Prince of the God of War already has a wife, they are also extremely comfortable to be able to look at the Eighth Prince from a distance.

Imperial Palace, Fengluan Palace.

"Niangniang, the spies reported that they did not see the figure of the Seventh Prince. But there was a carriage at the back of the line, and it was not known if the Seven Princes would be inside. Li Yanbi arched his hand.

The queen twisted up a string of Buddhist beads and smiled calmly, "If the Seventh Prince is in good health, why can't he ride a horse?" Even if the Seventh Prince does not die, it is estimated that he will be seriously ill. It seems that God has heard my call. ”

"Niang Niang Shengming." , Li Yanbi also smiled.

"Let's go, let's go see the excitement. Now that the time is counted, they should also be back in the palace. The queen mother stood up from the chaise longue with a happy face.

I'm the beautiful dividing line****

The Eighth Prince first led the soldiers to the prison and settled them, and then walked towards the palace with Chu Yu, the Seventh Prince, Chu Bingze, and the generals.

After they returned to the capital, they naturally wanted to meet the emperor.

I haven't seen him for about a month, and the palace seems to have a bit more gloomy atmosphere than before. Chu Yu looked around, and all he could see was cold.

The palace people led them across the long red carpet, walked up the long stairs, and slowly walked to the vermilion gate of the palace.

Before they entered the gate, the palace man in cotton clothes standing at the door saw him and shouted loudly, "The eighth prince, the seventh prince, the seventh princess, the generals have arrived!" ”

The voice of the eunuch palace person was always so harsh, and Chu Yu felt that his ears were shocked.

As soon as he stepped into the threshold, Chu Yu heard the emperor's hearty laughter, and then heard Zuo Qin Dao, "Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince, the Seventh Prince, General Chu and other generals have returned victoriously, and they have made great contributions!" ”

Zuo Qin should be the prince's henchmen, why did he take the initiative to praise them at this time? It's weird.

The prince was still dressed in a silver-gray brocade today, and half of his head was tied with a jade crown, because he was standing at the front, and he didn't turn around, so Chu Yu didn't see his face clearly.

Suddenly, Chu Yu felt that his hand was touched, and when he turned his head to the side, he only felt that the Seventh Prince beside him looked a little unhappy. Because she was a head away from the Seventh Prince, she could only see the corners of the Seventh Prince's faint mouth at the moment. But just by looking at the corners of the half of his mouth, Chu Yu felt that the Seventh Prince was angry again.

Did he see her looking at the prince? She's just glancing at it.....

"That's right! Rewards! The emperor touched his beard, looked at the people who walked in and smiled.

Chu Yu was diverted by the emperor's voice.

"Sons and daughters meet their father! Long live my father! ”

"Wechen greets the emperor, long live the emperor, long live!"

"No need to be polite! You are the great heroes of Kitazawa! This time in the western border war, thank you for your hard work! A smile tugged at the corner of the emperor's mouth.

"Father, this is about the well-being of Kitazawa, although it is hard work, but it is worth it." , the Eighth Prince arched his hand.

The Seventh Prince coughed lightly and didn't say anything.

The eldest brother Chu Bingze also arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Xiliang has been guilty of my dynasty for a long time, this time Xiliang was defeated, and it is a blessing to want a truce and peace, and it is a blessing to reach a consensus with my dynasty, as the eighth prince said, although it is hard, it is worth it." ”

"There are people in the younger generations of Kitazawa! Reward! Rewards! After the emperor sighed, he looked at Chu Yu with a smile on his face, "I heard that this time Xiliang was able to withdraw his troops so smoothly, and there is also the credit of the Seventh Princess." ”

Chu Yu was stunned, he didn't expect the news to reach the emperor's ears so quickly. Feeling the eyes of everyone, Chu Yu, whose name was mentioned, had no choice but to take a step forward and commit himself to the son, "Father, the son is in the general's house and has learned some martial arts, but he was able to use this to capture the leader of Xiliang, which is really a lucky move for the son, and it has helped him a little bit for this great victory." But to say that the minister here has all the credit, the minister does not dare to be it. ”

The prince turned his head and looked straight in the direction of Chu Yu, a trace of inquiry flashed in his eyes, and he was just about to retract his gaze, but he saw the unfriendly eyes of the seventh prince, the prince was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly. Seventh brother, he really has a good brain, and his eyes seem to be warning? Warn him not to covet Chu Yu anymore?

The prince turned his head, and the calm lake of his heart stirred up a little.

"Hahaha, there's no need to be modest. I heard that the new king of Xiliang is forcing the palace, and he is ruthless, and it is a great thing that you can subdue him. ”

Seeing the emperor praising him like this, Chu Yu couldn't dismantle the stage, so he had to laugh and say, "What my father said is true." ”

"The minister heard that this young monarch of Xiliang is just a fifteen-year-old little hairy child, and a little hairy child was captured by the seventh princess who has practiced martial arts, and there seems to be nothing that can't be said." , Zuo Qin laughed and said.

Chu Yu glanced at Zuo Qin, trying to see something on his face, but she didn't see anything, all she saw was a face full of calculation as always.

"Hey, Zuo Xiang, this can't be said in this way, although the young monarch of Xiliang is young, his force value is no worse than that of those here, and the Seventh Princess, as a woman, actually captured him alone, this is not a trivial matter." , Shen Xun glanced at Zuo Qinhou and arched his hand in the direction of the emperor.

Zuo Qin glanced back at Shen Xun, his face was not very good. Okay, you Shen Xun, you were still close to him some time ago, why did you come to dismantle him today, it's really hateful.

"Don't quarrel with the two Aiqing anymore! I think Prime Minister Shen is right. Let this matter end here, the Seven Imperial Princesses have made such a contribution to the imperial military doctor I sent, and I think that the Seven Imperial Princesses should also be rewarded. ”
