Zhao Yan has been under house arrest in the Second Prince's Mansion, and he doesn't know anything about the outside world, only seeing time pass slowly, he never thought that the days of losing his freedom and losing his ears and eyes are so difficult.

"It's cold, be careful, don't get caught in the cold!" Princess Jingyun put a cloak on Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan wiped his saber, glanced at his wife, pursed his lips and smiled: "Got it!" ”

In this palace, although she was able to grind with her husband and stay together, it was only a long time, and Princess Jingyun also felt a touch of sorrow and worry in her heart. What does His Majesty have planned, when will they return their husband and wife's freedom, her heart is not low, and things in this world are fickle, and she doesn't know what is going on outside these days.

"Hey, I don't know when this day will be the end!" Princess Jingyun sighed, "It's okay at first, but the more time passes, the more I feel, as if there is a knife on top of my head, I don't know when this knife will fall!" ”

Zhao Yan took his wife in his arms and said, "With me, don't be afraid!" ”

As the two were talking, they saw their subordinates, hurried over, and reported: "The second prince, the second princess, the king of Jin is here, bringing His Majesty's holy decree!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Yan paused slightly, and then ordered to prepare the incense case and receive the order.

His Majesty's decree said that the poisoning of the three princes on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival has now been ascertained by the Imperial Forest Army, and it has nothing to do with the second prince and his wife, and from now on, the house arrest will be lifted, and they can move freely. It's just that in the holy decree, there is no mention of the reinstatement of the second prince.

After Zhao Qian finished reciting the holy decree, Zhao Yan took it, smashed a punch on Zhao Qian's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, I haven't seen you for a long time!" The third brother was poisoned, can the murderer be found? ”

Zhao Qian shook his head.

Princess Jingyun saw that Zhao Qian's face was a little bad, and asked, "King Jin, has something happened in the capital these days?" ”

Zhao Qian reluctantly picked up the capital and said with a smile: "There are indeed a lot of things that have happened, you still don't know about it!" ”

"Let's talk about it inside!" Zhao Yan said.

After entering, Zhao Qian told Zhao Yan about several major events in the near future: "Not long ago, Jiang Shuai was assassinated, Zhao Ling went to Qingzhou to find out about this matter, and he has not returned, His Majesty let the eldest grandson Chi take the post of commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion!" ”

"What about Jiang Shuai now?" Zhao Yan hurriedly asked worriedly, "Qingzhou is the territory of the eldest grandson's family, how can Zhao Ling sacrifice his life so much!" ”

"After being taken care of by Doctor Liu, Jiang Shuai is now out of danger and is cultivating his body!" Zhao Qian said, "A few days ago, the prince also came to report safety, with that kid's ability, it is still impossible for a Qingzhou to trap him, maybe he will come back in a few days!" It's just that we always thought that the position of the commander of the cavalry battalion must be Zhao Ling's, but we didn't expect that in the end, Changsun Chi picked up the leak, His Majesty really trusted Changsun Chi too much! ”

"The eldest grandson Chi has absolutely nothing to say about his father's loyalty to the emperor and the Great Zhou, and he has outstanding merits and outstanding abilities, and it is reasonable for his father to reuse him!" Zhao Yan said, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes, he couldn't guess his father's intentions, but he only had some bad premonitions in his heart.

"This is one of them, and the second is that His Majesty has decided to go to Mount Tai to worship the heavens during the Spring Festival, and has already rushed to Mount Tai with the three princes to arrange this matter!" Zhao Qian said.

"Sacrifice to the sky?" Zhao Yan's brows furrowed even deeper, "Father has always disliked these things...... Is it ......?"

"That's what we should mean when we analyze!" Zhao Qian said, "So, this move is very crucial, if you win, everything will be fine, and if you lose, the world will be in chaos!" ”

"Father is every step of the way, he will not do risky things!" Zhao Yan said, "In this game, he will win!" ”

"Hopefully!" After Zhao Qian finished speaking, he glanced at Princess Jingyun who came in with hot tea, "There is one more thing, I think it is necessary to tell my sister-in-law, according to the news from our spies in Chen Kingdom, the prince's situation does not seem to be very good, it seems that he has a serious illness, and now in the imperial court, a large number of people are attached to the general!" ”

Princess Jingyun was shocked, bit her lip and said: "Hu Yanting wolf son ambition, father and emperor's health is not good, only the prince's brother can suppress him, now he is becoming more and more unscrupulous, and I don't know if the prince's brother's serious illness has anything to do with him!" Is my Chen Guo really in danger? ”

Zhao Qian said: "Hu Yanting has always wanted to start a war against the Great Zhou, if he really allows him to completely control the government of the Chen State, it will be extremely unfavorable to the Great Zhou, especially at this time!" ”

Zhao Yan hugged his wife's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, wait for the news from the front!" There are still many loyal ministers and good generals in the Chen Kingdom, and they will definitely not let Hu Yanting succeed! ”

"I'm worried about the prince's brother's condition now!" Princess Jingyun said, "But I'm far away in Da Zhou, and I can't help much!" How can this be good? ”

Zhao Yan said: "Since I can move freely now, I'll think of a way to do this!" ”

"Xianggong ......"

Zhao Qian took a deep breath and said: "Today I am here to preach the holy decree, there are still some things in the house, I will go back first, if there is anything you need my help with, just let people come to me!" ”

"Got it!"

Zhao Yan knew in his heart that now that his father had decided to take action against the eldest grandson's family, then Chen Guo would definitely not be able to add to the chaos at this time, and the ideal situation was that the internal fighting in Chen Guo continued, so that the prince and Hu Yanting continued to compete, and the prince's power in the Chen Dynasty still existed, but the premise was that the body could hold on.

After regaining their freedom, the second prince and his wife entered the palace to thank him, Emperor Zhou comforted the two of them, and then left Zhao Yan to talk for a while, and when it was almost dark, the couple rushed to Fengxi Palace to greet the Queen Mother.

The matter of the Mid-Autumn Festival night, no one mentioned it again, after all, it is not a very good thing, since the Royal Forest Army has closed the case, the matter is over.

The couple accompanied the Queen Mother to dinner before leaving the palace.

"Did my father mention the restoration of your military position?" Princess Jingyun asked.

Zhao Yan shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Not yet, but it doesn't matter, I hope that Da Zhou can be peaceful, and there will never be a chance for me to appear on the stage!" ”

Princess Jingyun sighed slightly and said: "Today, the imperial grandmother talked about the issue of the heir, I have been married to you for so long, but my stomach has not moved, I will let the queen mother take care of me!" Your Majesty's heirs are thin, and now you are only three of your brothers, the fifth prince is still young, and the third prince only has two daughters under his knees, so the imperial grandmother urged us to step up! I thought, I'll take care of my body first, how about a few concubines for you now? The Imperial Grandmother is looking forward to being able to spread her branches as soon as possible! I've thought about it, if you have an heir, it will also help you compete for the position of prince! ”

Zhao Yan patted the back of Princess Jingyun's hand and said, "It's still early in this matter, let's talk about it in a while!" You don't have any burden, this child is fate, you can't force it! ”

"But I just want to be able to give you a baby as soon as possible!" Princess Jingyun said, "You don't care about this matter, I'll arrange it, this is also my obligation as a wife!" ”

The carriage stopped suddenly, and Zhao Yan said, "I'll go to the Chu Palace, you go back first!" ”

"Good!" Princess Jingyun nodded, "Come back early!" ”

After Zhao Yan got out of the carriage, he went straight to the palace of the king of Chu, and the king of Chu smiled: "I'm afraid that I will suffocate you in the mansion these days!" ”

"That's right, I didn't feel it before, but when I was really trapped, I felt that life was difficult!" Zhao Yan smiled, "Has the prince come back with a letter recently?" ”

"Nope!" The king of Chu said, "Don't worry about him, he was too measured in his heart before he went, and he will be fine!" ”

"I naturally know his ability, but it's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows, which always reassures people's hearts!" Zhao Yan said.

At this time, Jiang Xiaoyu also came to the hall, greeted Zhao Yan, and said, "You can be regarded as coming out!" This is like going to prison, isn't it, are you in the palace today? What did Your Majesty say? ”

"What my father means is that this is to make me sharpen my temperament, and I don't want to investigate the previous things, after all, the real battlefield is coming soon!" Zhao Yan didn't continue, but he could know what he was saying.

Zhao Yan was silent for a while and said: "I came today, in addition to visiting Uncle Huang, there is one more thing, I hope to be able to talk to Xiaoyu alone!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu turned his head and asked King Chu's opinion, after all, he was present, and King Chu nodded, which was considered to be agreed.

When I came to the courtyard, the moonlight was Qinghua, with a cold chill.

Jiang Xiaoyu sniffed and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"From the current situation, the premise for the father's plan to go smoothly is that Chen Guo maintains the current state of infighting, but the crown prince is suddenly seriously ill, which is actually bad news for us, if General Chen Guo is in power, he will inevitably cooperate with the eldest grandson!" Zhao Yan said, "Doctor Liu Shen has excellent medical skills, if he goes out, the prince's condition should be able to improve!" ”

"Master can't leave the capital now!" Jiang Xiaoyu spoke, his uncle's body still needs to be conditioned by the master, and he has no way to leave.

"I know that your senior brother has some relationship with Chen Guo, although I can't find out his specific details, but it should be unusual, I hope he can go to Chen Guo, he is the apprentice of Doctor Liu, his medical skills should not be bad, if he can cure the prince's illness, it will be of greater help to us!"

"This ......" Jiang Xiaoyu frowned a little embarrassed, "To be honest, I don't know my senior brother's background, I only vaguely know that he is from Chen State, but he must have his reason for leaving Chen State, I can't force him to go back, I will tell Senior Brother about this, but I can't guarantee you that Senior Brother will definitely go to Chen Kingdom!" If Senior Brother doesn't want to go back, I'll discuss with Master and see if there's any other way! ”

"Okay, thank you!"
