Chapter 11: Night Attack

Chen Anran returned from the treasury with a full load. Returned to her Youlan Courtyard, had dinner, and walked around the courtyard, but found no abnormalities. Then I organized the Yahuan in the yard to play a two-hour game, the purpose of which was to exercise and improve my physical fitness. After resting for a while, she called Ruyi again and taught her how to make sheep intestines, and asked her to make ten feet of sheep intestines for Chen Anran to check within ten days.

After all this, Chen Anran lay on the bed after washing, called Shu Xin over to sit on the small stool next to the bed, and asked Shu Xin to tell her the story of the royal family. Shu Xin said that the Xuanyuan family for more than 200 years is the largest warlord in the Central Plains of the mainland, and after years of warlord scuffle, the Xuanyuan family finally unified the Central Plains and established the Central Continent State. The ancestors of the Chen family have always followed the Xuanyuan family to fight the world, and they are loyal to the Xuanyuan family, and have been valued and trusted by the royal family for more than 200 years, and have shared a part of the military power. Now Emperor Xuanyuan Jing is in his fifties, and his health is deteriorating. The emperor has four older sons, the eldest son Xuanyuan Chengwei is now five years old, Chinese New Year's Eve is named King Wei and is in charge of the Imperial Forest Army. The second son, Xuanyuan Chengqing, is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today and is named King Qing and is in charge of the household. The third son, Xuanyuan Chenglie, is twenty-eight years old this year, and he is named the king of Lie and is in charge of the military department. The fourth son, Xuanyuan Chengwu, is twenty-four years old this year, and he is named the king of martial arts and is in charge of the officials. All four sons wielded real power, and they all secretly cultivated their own power. The eldest son and the second son were both born to Empress Shangguan, and Empress Shangguan's father is the current Prime Minister of Zuo, Shangguanju, who is like-minded with General Chen, and jointly assists the current emperor in governing the country, and the two families have a good relationship. The third and fourth sons were born to Concubine Zhou Yi and were the grandsons of Zhou Peng, the right prime minister. Zhou Peng is ambitious and selfish. The left prime minister is the head of the civil ministers, and the right prime minister is the head of the military generals. Zhou Peng wanted to support his grandson to become the emperor and win over all forces, but General Chen remained neutral and did not depend on any princely forces, so Zhou Peng came to suppress him if he couldn't win over. Many obstacles were set up to obstruct the transportation of grain, herbs and medicines from the rear to the front, and slandered the general in front of the emperor.

Chen Anran asked about the situation of the five princes again. Shu Xin said that the fifth prince Xuanyuan Chengyuan was born to Concubine De and will be 16 years old after the New Year. According to the custom of the Central Continent, the prince who has reached the age of 16 will be crowned king, given a mansion, and moved out of the palace. The maternal grandfather of the fifth prince was Ouyang Muyan, the governor of the East China Sea, and the forces behind him were also quite powerful. But the five princes were born to like freedom, bohemianism, like to play in the mountains and rivers, flowers, birds, insects and fish, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, martial arts equipment, jewelry and jade, etc., but they don't like politics and avoid it. Because of this, he won the love of the old emperor. Love is love, the old emperor has no idea of passing the throne to the five princes. He is still optimistic about the four older sons. According to the convention, there is no prince in Zhongzhou, the old emperor wrote a will before his death and put it in the dark room of the imperial study, and after his death, Prime Minister Zuo took out the will and announced who was the heir to the throne in front of the minister of civil and military affairs.

Listening to Shu Xin's account of the royal situation, Chen Anran felt that the five princes were still good, at least they would not use unscrupulous means or even annihilate human nature because of the supremacy of power, which could be regarded as a wonderful tree that grew up in the royal scheming and blood. It should be more pleasant to associate with such people. But why would such a prince be assassinated by a dead soldier during the day? In order to make the old emperor heartbroken and die early? The people who want the old emperor to die early are the four surrounding countries except for the four sons, can't they wait? Or what happened? I have a lot of questions in my heart, but fortunately, my father and my brothers will come back the day after tomorrow, and some things should be answered or the truth from them.

There was no entertainment at night in ancient times, and after listening to Shu Xin's narration, Chen Anran fell asleep. With four orbs and twenty guards, she was now back in bed and asleep. After all, it is much more comfortable to fall asleep in bed. At the end of the day, Chen Anran was also relatively tired, and Chen Anran soon fell asleep.

was asleep, suddenly the broken hidden stone on his chest emitted a dazzling white light, Chen Anran opened his eyes, and in the dazzling white light, a black shadow quickly retreated from the side of the bed, Chen Anran quickly reacted, this is a hermit, busy shouting to catch the thief, catch the thief! He quickly took out the dagger from under the pillow and threw it at the shadow, and the female guard, who heard the shout, also broke through the door, and the shadow avoided the dagger, retreated to the middle of the house, and leaped out of the roof before the guard rushed over. It turned out that there was a hole in the roof that was broken by a hermit at some point. The guards also jumped from the hole in the roof to the roof and chased out. Chen Anran also hurriedly put on a coat and chased out of the door, the black shadow and the guards were gone, Chen Anran turned back to the room and checked the holes on the roof, this hermit is very powerful, breaking through the layers of guards, he can make holes in the roof and he doesn't know it, fortunately there are broken hidden beads, otherwise he doesn't know where he is now. Chen Anran looked down at the floor again, maybe one day they sneaked in from underground, the hermit is a special combat soldier, which is impossible to guard. Alas, the life in the past life was thrilling, and the present life is like this. This still makes people live well?!

It seems that I don't know which side has already hit the idea on their heads. wants to take advantage of the absence of his father and brother, with bad intentions. On your side, you must take precautions, and find the water urchin agate as soon as possible to return to the modern era and leave this place of right and wrong.
