Datou Khan unexpectedly gave up resistance and took the initiative to ask the Great Sui for peace and vassalization, which not only avoided a vicious battle on the battlefield in the western Xinjiang, but more importantly, because the two Turkic khanates in the east and west successively declared themselves to the Great Sui court and were willing to be vassals, the situation that might cause the imbalance of power between the Eastern and Western Turks due to the destruction of the Apo tribe by the Sui Dynasty did not appear as Yang Guang expected, and then to a large extent ensured the stability and tranquility of the situation in the northern border of the Great Sui.

After accepting Datou Khan's invitation to surrender and sending away the envoys sent to Chang'an by Datou Khan, Sui Gaozu Yang Jian showed a long-lost smile on his face: Now that the northern border troubles have been eliminated, and the anti-Sui rebel forces led by Liang Shiyan, Yu Wenxin, and Liu Yi have been eliminated in the DPRK, he may be free to start preparing to complete his great cause of unification between the north and the south.

The envoys of Datou Khan left Chang'an, and there was good news from the Lanzhi Palace where the Jin princess Xiao E temporarily lived: An Ruoxi, the concubine of the Jin king Yang Guang, gave birth to another imperial grandson after the princess Xiao E.

Yang Jian was overjoyed after receiving the report, and immediately named the little emperor Yang Jian in person, and awarded a generous reward to his mother An Ruoxi.

What is completely different from Yang Jian's attitude is that the queen Dugu Jialuo gave birth to the little emperor Sun Yang Jian in An Ruoxi on the second day, that is, she completely ignored whether An Ruoxi's body recovered, and ordered someone to urgently send An Ruoxi to Zhengyang Palace to meet him.

Xiao E, the princess of Jin who lived in Lanzhi Palace with An Ruoxi's mother and son, was worried that An Ruoxi had just given birth to a grandson, and it would be difficult to go to Zhengyang Palace alone to meet the queen, so she took two maids, Chi Peony and Luluo, to accompany An Ruoxi to meet the queen.

Unexpectedly, when Xiao Er led someone to help An Ruoxi to the gate of Zhengyang Palace, he was blocked by He Zhu'er.

"Princess, Niangniang has a will, only An Ruoxi, the person who bears the clothes and knives, is allowed to enter the palace to see him, please forgive our family for being rude." He Zhu'er had a smile on his face, but what he said did not leave any room for negotiation.

"I will not ask the queen mother for peace this morning, father-in-law, can I be accommodating, and when I enter the palace to ask the queen mother, I will leave the palace, how about it?" Xiao E saw that the signs seemed wrong, and he also smiled and asked He Zhu'er.

"Princess, forgive me, it's not that our family is unwilling to be accommodating, but because Niangniang has a purpose, she ordered An Chengyi to enter the palace alone to see ......" He Zhu'er glanced at An Ruoxi, who was standing behind Xiao E, supported by Chi Shao and Lu Luo, and his mouth did not change at all.

"Okay, I'll take someone to wait outside the gate of Zhengyang Palace, wait for the queen mother to meet Ruoxi, and then enter the palace to greet her and greet her." The more He Zhu'er stopped herself from accompanying An Ruoxi into Zhengyang Palace to see the queen, the more Xiao E had a premonition that the situation was not good, and she didn't want to leave An Ruoxi here alone, so she lowered her face and said.

He Zhu'er knew that this Jin princess was quite favored by the emperor and queen, so as not to anger her and cause trouble, she hurriedly smiled and saluted Xiao E, and said flatteringly: "Please wait outside the palace gate for a while, and when our family introduces An Chengyi into the palace to see Jin, by the way, I will pay tribute to the mother on behalf of the princess." I don't know if the mother will summon the princess to the palace to meet immediately. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand to the two maids who supported An Ruoxi, as long as An Ruoxi followed him into the palace to see the queen.

"I'll be fine, don't worry, princess." An Ruoxi gently broke free of Chi Peony and Lu Luo, and followed He Zhu'er towards Zhengyang Palace.

In the main hall of Zhengyang Palace, Queen Dugu Jialuo looked at An Ruoxi standing in front of her coldly, and after a long time, she said: "This palace saw you today to give you a promise: you don't have to worry about the child you just gave birth to, this palace will raise him to grow up." As he spoke, he nodded at the maid Yue Gui standing beside him.

Yue Gui walked up to An Ruoxi with an expressionless face and handed her a silk bag.

"You are a smart man, you should understand the meaning of this palace: within three days, find a secluded place in the palace, and cut yourself off." Dugu Jialuo lightly said his true intention in summoning An Ruoxi: to force her to commit suicide.

"The concubine saw Niangniang for the first time, and I don't know what crime she committed, so I still ask Niangniang to make it clear." An Ruoxi held the silk bag in his hand and asked Dugu Jialuo with a pale face.

"If according to the original intention of this palace, you should have been disposed of five years ago, and it can be regarded as a fate between you and Ah Zong, and you can give birth to a son for him, and you will live in the world for a few years in vain. Why, don't you take the initiative to take the pills in this silk bag? ”

"Although the concubine served the princess of the previous dynasty for a few days in the past, she asked herself that she had never done anything that could not live with the court, Niangniang and the King of Jin. An Ruoxi's body was very weak after giving birth, and because of the resentment in her heart, she trembled and begged Dugu Jialuodao.

"Someone." Dugu Jialuo was too lazy to talk to An Ruoxi, turned his head and instructed the maid in the hall, "Since An Ruoxi refuses to obey the order, let's help her, find a proper place outside the Daxing Palace, and send her on the road today." ”

Yueying, Yuegui and other four maids responded to the "obey the order", hula surrounded them, and pushed An Ruoxi outside the hall.

An Ruoxi was in a hurry, and he didn't know where to get a burst of strength, so steep that he separated everyone, threw himself forward and fell under the steps in the hall, almost roaring angrily: "If Niangniang wants Ruoxi to die, Ruoxi will simply crash into Niangniang today." As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed into the stone steps in front of him, and in an instant his head broke and his head was bleeding, his body tilted to the side, and he fainted on the spot.

Rao is Dugu Jia Luo has personally experienced many big scenes, and he was also stunned by the sudden changes in front of him. It took a long time to wake up, pointed at An Ruoxi, who had fainted on the steps, and ordered several maids in a panic: "What are you waiting for, carry her out quickly, and find a secluded place outside the palace to bury her!" ”

Several maids knew that An Ruoxi was not dead, and because of the queen's anger, none of them dared to open their mouths to remind Dugu Jialuo, so they hurriedly stepped forward, and the four of them worked together to lift An Ruoxi and walked out of the hall.

The four maids just lowered their heads and carried An Ruoxi out of the hall, but they almost collided with one person head-on, and Yueying and Yuegui, who were walking in front, hurriedly stopped their steps, looked up, and exclaimed almost at the same time: "Princess Jin, why are you?" ”

Soon after An Ruoxi followed He Zhu'er into Zhengyang Palace, Xiao E, the princess of Jin, who insisted on waiting for An Ruoxi to come out safely outside the gate of Zhengyang Palace, felt that the situation was not good, so she took advantage of He Zhu'er to take An Ruoxi into the palace to see the queen, and deliberately scared several little eunuchs guarding the palace gate and said: "I have a very important matter to meet the queen mother, if you don't let me enter the palace, after a while, the queen mother will blame it, it is the sin of several of you." ”

Although these little eunuchs all knew that Xiao E was the princess of Jin who was very favored by the queen, they just heard their leader He Zhu'er speak clearly: the queen mother clearly explained that she only met An Ruoxi alone, so they all smiled and dissuaded Xiao E: "Don't be embarrassed for the princess, can the little ones succeed?" If you really have something urgent to go to the palace to return to your mother, then wait for us to come out of the palace, and you can tell him. ”

At this moment, Xiao E vaguely heard a few women's shouts from the direction of the main hall of Zhengyang Palace, and his heart was anxious, and he ignored a few little eunuchs, and walked inside.

Those few little eunuchs have never seen this formation since they entered the palace on an errand, you look at me, I look at you, it is not to stop, it is not to let go, when he hesitated for a moment, Xiao E had already rushed into Zhengyang Palace.
