Chapter 282: Quid pro quo

"There is only one girl in the British princess's lineage, and now that the British prince is old, his granddaughter is only in the position of the queen, which does not make him feel at ease. ”

The Queen Mother explained, "He needs a bloodline inheritance, and only in this way can he exchange for the death of the British Duke." ”

Wei Jingyao opened his mouth but didn't say anything, because he knew in his heart that what the Queen Mother said was right.

As the monarch of Jiang Country, he should indeed do this, but his heart has been resisting.

"Yao'er, this is a matter of time or time, as a king, you are destined to have only one woman by your side, Xie Fuyao is destined to be the only woman, now there are just more queens and concubines, and there will only be more and not less in the future. ”

The Queen Mother said bitterly, she had long wanted to talk to the emperor about these things, but she never had the opportunity.

"The queen doesn't care about you, but the concubine has already had a whisper, do you want to spoil Xie Fuyao alone, let her become the enemy of the entire harem?"

Originally, all this was under his control, but for no reason, Xie Fuyao existed.

She taught Wei Jingyao what love is, but it made him lose his determination and ruthlessness as an emperor.

Wei Jingyao was silent for a moment, this question was what he had been avoiding these days, but now he was nakedly placed in front of the Queen Mother.

The harem is closely related to the previous dynasty, and the harem is peaceful, so that the former dynasty can contain each other.

If he hadn't Xie Fuyao himself, he might have been able to play with them and win the trust of the courtiers as the queen mother said, but now, he really didn't want to do this.

Wei Jingyao's heart was extremely struggling, as an emperor, being favored would only harm Xie Fuyao.

This is the truth that I have understood since I was a child, in my father's harem, how many women have died because of this, and I don't even know how to die.

"The queen mother, the son understands. The sound in his throat was dry and trembling, and Wei Jingyao knew that he could only compromise.

"It's good to understand, the queen mother is old, and it is impossible to be by your side all the time, Yao'er, since your father handed over Jiang Guo to you, you can't live up to his expectations. ”

The Queen Mother did not stay in Yong'an Palace for long, and after saying this, she left quietly.

After a few days of careful preparation, the news came from the court that Wei Jingyao's dragon body was in shape and could not see the wind.

The Queen Mother sent out a decree to stop the early dynasty in the past few days, and if there was something important, she would submit the folds to Yong'an Palace.

The successive illnesses of the emperor and Concubine Ying made the courtiers a little more suspicious in their hearts, but in the end, it was just suspicion, and no one really explored the truth of this matter.

Of course, these people do not include Wei Zheng, since the news was sent, Wei Zheng has begun to move.

It's a pity that the eyeliner he planted in the crown can't detect the movements of Yong'an Palace.

The old people left by Concubine Lin have almost all been executed by the Queen Mother, and Wei Zheng is powerless to get any news in the air.

Yuan Guifei was also suspicious of this news, she found various reasons to go to Yong'an Palace to send supplements to the emperor, but they were all rejected one by one.

The Queen Mother was afraid that she would cause some trouble, so she had to beat her personally.

But the more this was the case, the more unwilling Concubine Yuan became, and it wasn't until she saw Wei Jingyao with her own eyes that night that she dispelled the worries in her heart.

In fact, when the news was just released, Wei Jingyao did not leave the palace, he just wanted to see how these people would react.

The more it is covered, the more it arouses the curiosity of others, and it is better to want to indulge and deliberately release a little rumor.

Then then break their suspicions, and only then will they believe that they are really sick.

After the most intense turmoil passed, Wei Jingyao took a carriage and secretly left the palace.

Because of Liang Rui's identity, Wei Jingyao didn't bring him with him this time, the palace needs the protection of Jin Yuwei, and leaving Liang Rui is his most reassuring decision.

Xuan Yi, Xuan Liu and Xuan Jiu were by Xie Fuyao's side, and Liang Rui was worried about Wei Jingyao's safety, so he specially invited Tian Hu to come out.

Although Tian Hu's martial arts are not as good as his own, after these days of retreat and cultivation, his strength is already above the Xuanzi-level secret guard, and the secret protection of Xuansan and Xuansi should not be a problem.

After leaving the city, Wei Jingyao abandoned the carriage and switched to horseback riding, and they changed into the appearance of merchants, and pulled goods in the back as a disguise.

After a few days of day and night, Wei Jingyao got closer and closer to Fengning.

After arriving in the city, he did not go directly to Fengning Mansion, but found an inn to live in.

There has been no war in the past few days, Xie Xiaosheng felt sorry for Xie Fuyao, so he asked her to stay in Fengning Mansion to rest well, and he went to deal with the wounded soldiers and the reconstruction of the iron-blooded battalion.

"Childe, I just used the small kitchen in the house to stew some chicken soup, you can use a little. Ziyu put the chicken soup on the stone table and looked at Xie Fuyao, who was sitting in the court.

This is Xie Fuyao's special order, even in Fengning Mansion, she must be called Gongzi, so as not to expose the flaws in Ziyu's mouth.

Smelling the fragrance that was not far away, Xie Fuyao couldn't help but take a deep breath.

During this time, I was busy with the war, and I have been eating the same food as the soldiers at the border pass, and I haven't eaten meat for a long time.

"Ziyu, you shouldn't have just boiled one bowl, right?" Xie Fuyao looked at the steaming bowl of chicken soup and put it down again.

"No, I stewed a small pot, and I can eat it together when the master and Yan Gongzi come back. Ziyu said with a smile.

"Forget it, go and give it to those injured soldiers, if my father knows that I secretly drink chicken soup here, he may not know how to get angry. ”

Xie Fuyao joked that during this time, Xie Xiaosheng ate and lived with the soldiers, and he couldn't make too many exceptions.

"Childe, this is something that the master specially ordered me to make for you to eat, and he said that your face is not very good during this time, and you have to make up for it. ”

Ziyu opened the lid of the chicken soup and blew it gently, and the fragrance in the air became even stronger.

"My father?" Xie Fuyao was a little surprised, he didn't expect Xie Xiaosheng to have such a heartwarming side.

"Gongzi Xie, someone outside is looking for you, saying that it is your old friend. ”

While Xie Fuyao was taking a small sip of chicken soup, a soldier suddenly walked over outside the door.

"Old man, what does he look like?" Xie Fuyao was a little puzzled, he didn't know anyone in Fengning, where did the old man come from.

"It's a man with five big and three thick, and he talks a bit like General Gao. The soldier said truthfully.

The doubts in Xie Fuyao's heart became heavier and heavier, and he couldn't imagine in his mind who this person was, "Forget it, I'll go with you to take a look." ”
