Chen's palpitations were not over, and he looked at the prince of the Ming Dynasty in front of him in a daze. Her son was sent to the Han Palace, and he had been thinking about this person for a long time, and had heard a lot about him. When they met suddenly, Chen didn't think he was a stranger.

But King Han is not what she had imagined. The young man in front of him was wearing a heavy armor and a red cloak, his figure was very majestic, and his skin was copper-colored, which was completely different from the appearance of the nobles of the clan who were pampered and overly drunk.

As Zhu Gaoxu gradually walked over, Chen smelled a man's unique smell of sweat, after all, he had just gone through a fierce battle.

Chen's gaze brushed over the bloodstains of the corpses that had been killed in an instant, and then glanced at the colorful mounts behind Zhu Gaoxu. In a trance, she seemed to hear the angry roar of the tiger in the jungle, and an invisible huge pressure made her chest suddenly suffocate, and for a short moment she couldn't breathe at all.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu took off his helmet and hugged it in his arms, revealing a face with a straight face with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He then touched it from his arms, and Chen immediately stared nervously at his hand.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaoxu took out a white silk handkerchief embroidered with gold thread, handed it over, pointed to his own face and said, "Queen, wipe the blood." ”

Chen stared for a moment, and it took a while to react, and she carefully took the handkerchief with a slight hesitation, only then did she remember that there was some blood splashed on her face just now.

"Thank you, Your Highness." She spoke in Chinese, took the handkerchief and turned sideways to avoid it, and gently wiped her face.

Chen's heart said: Whether it is the Hu family who is plotting to usurp the throne, or Chen Tianping, who wants to be the king of Annam, or the ambitious Li Li, these people at least give her some courtesy; The prince of the Ming Dynasty who killed people like a wolf and a tiger in front of him was also quite polite. The most terrible people you face when you are in trouble are precisely those unknown minions and slaves!

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu asked: "Can the queen tell me that Haoqiang Li Li can be here?" ”

Chen said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han began to attack the manor, and Li Li hurriedly ran away. ”

"In which direction?" Zhu Gaoxu asked again.

Chen glanced up, "It should be east." ”

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he immediately beckoned a military general next to him to come over, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately adjust the light cavalry to pursue, whether you live or die, and take Li Li!" ”

"Order!" After the general responded, he immediately turned over and climbed onto the war horse.

Chen's eyes closed slightly, his pupils shrank a little, and he secretly wondered: King Han actually guessed Li Li's ambition?!

Before, Chen was reluctant to go with Li Li, Li Li was very angry and killed Chen Xingwang, and Chen was indeed frightened. But she decided that since Li Li had great ambitions, he would definitely not kill the queen in public and ruin his reputation; Chen had the courage to refuse Li Li, and the result was indeed as she expected.

However, whether Li Li is ambitious or not, even Hu Yuancheng, the puppet left minister, did not see through. And the Han King in front of him has never dealt with Li Li, and he has seen through Li Li as soon as he arrives here! This came as a surprise to Chen.

Chen couldn't help but look at King Han carefully for a while, and saw that his copper-colored skin was a little rough due to the wind and sun, but his young face could still tell how old he was, and this prince was probably in his early twenties! But he has a lot of scheming that doesn't match his age.

Chen also remembered the rumored battle between the King of Han and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and she concluded in her heart: This prince may have experienced a lot of things.

She and Zhu Gaoxu didn't know each other, but for a while, she had a sense of closeness to the same kind of gathering, because the Chen family had also seen too much power struggle.

At this time, the king of Han said: "The queen is frightened, you go to the house first to calm down, and let Zhao Ping bring a few people to protect you." I still have some things to deal with, so I'll see you later. ”

Chen hurriedly asked, "Is Chen Zhengyuan (the prince) okay?" ”

"There is no more foolproof place than the Han Palace, the queen can only rest assured." Zhu Gaoxu walked to his war horse and turned around and answered.

Chen Shi breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this, and then pointed to the handkerchief in his hand and said softly: "I stained His Highness's handkerchief, I will wash it and return it to His Highness." ”

Zhu Gaoxu casually said "um", and the person jumped on the horse, hugged his fists and said, "Farewell!" ”

Chen was still staring at Zhu Gaoxu's figure without distraction, his majestic body undulating very flexibly and powerfully on the tiger-like warhorse, and his strength radiated in every subtle movement. She watched the figure until he disappeared into the corner.

"Queen, please." A tall young military general bowed and made a gesture, with a look of respect.

Chen came back to his senses and bowed lightly to the military general named Zhao Ping, with a sense of gratitude on his face.

Zhao Ping and several Ming soldiers led the horses to accompany them, and Chen returned to a secluded courtyard where she usually lived. She had lived here before, and because she wanted to avoid people's eyes, she was located in the corner of the manor.

When I walked into the small courtyard, it was a mess, all kinds of things were thrown everywhere, and it was empty. As soon as Li Li left, the people in the manor looted the valuable things here at some point, and they were in a hurry to make a mess of the whole yard.

Zhao Ping ordered the soldiers to search the house first, and then invited Chen to enter.

It was getting dark. After nightfall, a white, fat, round-faced descendant came in at the door of the hall, and Chen saw that he did not have a beard, and guessed that he was a eunuch. As soon as the latter spoke, his voice was shrill and thin, which confirmed Chen's guess.

The eunuch bowed down and said, "The slave's name is Cao Fu, and he is a person from the Han Palace. You are a queen, you can't be left unserved and lose your honor. There were two Annam women in the slave's hand, and the queen let them wait for the time being. ”

Chen said: "Gonggong Cao has a heart. ”

Her Chinese accent is different from that of the Ming people, but she speaks it very skillfully. Many books in Annan, especially history books, were written in classical Chinese, and if the nobles did not know Chinese, they were almost as illiterate as they could not read. Chen was born into a clan, and of course he has read a lot of books.

Cao Fu slapped his face twice, and two women with fine skin and tender flesh still had a bit of beauty walked in. These two Annam women were actually in the army of the Han Dynasty...... When Chen looked at it, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of teasing that was difficult for people to detect.

Cao Fu said again: "On this Li family manor, if there are people who are familiar with the queen and close to you, they can also be found to serve you." ”

Chen nodded slightly.

Cao Fu clasped his fists and bowed: "The slave and maid don't disturb the queen's rest." Then he said to the two women, "Good life is waiting." ”

They saluted together, bowed their heads and said, "Yes." ”

The two women are not from ordinary people's families, and they are quite interesting. They soon got busy, and the petite woman went to clean up the house, and the tall one boiled water for cooking.

Chen gradually felt a lot more relieved, at least the current embarrassment had passed temporarily. She felt palpitations in her heart, and secretly rejoiced...... It's just a hanging heart, and it's hard to really land.

She sat in a chair, her elbows propped up on her head, as if she were closing her eyes and recuperating, as if she were taking a nap tiredly. But she didn't fall asleep, and her mind was very clear and couldn't stop thinking......

The power of the Chen family clan has fallen, and the decline of royal power is not a matter of one or two days, and the powerful minister Hu even directly replaces it...... But with the fall of Duobang City, can the Hu clan really hold on to the throne?

And Li Li and other local heroes secretly recruited troops and horses, kept their lights and kept their heads in obscurity, waiting for the opportunity.

The Ming army, known as one million, swept through a large area of Annan, and Keri will march into the eastern capital! At this time, the most powerful party in the land of Annam, of course, was the Ming Dynasty, and they would soon be able to control the national fortunes of Annam.

The Ming Dynasty mobilized a large army and spent nothing, just to help Annan restore legitimacy? Will they do what is written in the edict and help the Chan family restore their royal power, or will they simply annex Annam......

Of course, Queen Chen hoped that the Ming court would keep its promise and help them the Chen family. In this way, Chen Zhengyuan, the sister-in-law of the former king and her son, is very likely to return to Annan and sit in the position he deserves! The Chen family can also rely on her son to become the queen mother with great power!

There are emperors and civil and military ministers in the Ming court, what do they each claim?

Chen couldn't influence the thoughts of the Ming Emperor and the courtiers, but she thought based on her own experience and experience, it is difficult for everyone to have one opinion in a court, and there will always be disputes and differences.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu's gentle movement of handing over the handkerchief floated to Chen's heart. She thought carefully about Zhu Gaoxu's words and demeanor when she met tonight. Gradually, a glimmer of hope crept into Chen's heart.

Chen opened his eyes, moved his slightly numb legs, and then stood up and paced slowly beside the chair. After a while, she looked at an oil lamp on the table and was stunned.

She said in her heart: Although the king of Han lost in the battle for the heir, he was sealed to Yunnan; However, he still has to be trusted by the Ming Emperor, otherwise how can the emperor rest assured that he will hand over so many troops to his command?

At this moment, an Annan voice said: "The queen has been waiting for a long time, because the manor is very chaotic, and the slave maid is only ready for dinner now, do you want to eat?" ”

Chen turned around and nodded, "Okay." ”

The woman said in a tentative tone, "The slave and maid go and boil the water, and when the queen has supper, she will wait for you to bathe and change your clothes." ”

Chan nodded again.

Chen had eaten, and the night was getting darker, so she washed up and did some chores and waited. I wondered if Zhu Gaoxu would come at night, because when he left the night, he said, "Let it be later...... This person seems to be a little lustful, and maybe he will have some thoughts, and he will use the evening to talk and find an opportunity.

Since the murder of the former king, Chan has become accustomed to all kinds of people coveting her beauty. People with status are generally soft and forced, and use some means; Those villains were more direct, and Chen was almost humiliated by a few guards when he was in Laos.

Although the country is ruined, Chen also knows that she is the queen and must not easily damage her reputation, so she has been racking her brains to protect herself in the cracks. But when it comes to the powerful or the real demerits, resistance is not always successful......

In the middle of the night, King Han hadn't come yet, and Chen's eyes couldn't open. She couldn't help but speculate, could it be that the King of Han who was strong and strong was actually a righteous gentleman?
