177, the Northern Barbarian Emissary

Gu Nian heard the quarrel, stopped in place, did not step forward again, and it was Anwang Lin Rui and Concubine An Jiang who were arguing under the pillars.

Behind Lin Rui, there was also a woman standing, who was clearly the Yun'er girl of the Chengen Mansion.

Jiang's stomach was already bulging, she covered her abdomen with one hand, and pointed at Lin Rui with a trembling hand, her voice was sharp, "What did you say?" You say, if you could, you wouldn't want to marry me? ”

Lin Rui protected Yun'er behind him and opened his mouth, but looking at Jiang's pale face, but his eyes burned like flames, he was a little speechless for a while.

He couldn't speak, but the Jiang family had a lot to say, she continued to stare at Lin Rui, and continued to ask word by word,

"All the promises you've told me are false? I forced you to send all the things that were given to me? ”

"Princess An, I think you misunderstood...... Yes! ”

Miss Yun'er originally shrank behind Lin Rui, she walked out, wanting to comfort the Jiang family, who knew that it was okay for her not to speak, as soon as she spoke, the Jiang family immediately vented all her anger on her.

Jiang raised his foot and stepped forward, slapped Miss Yun'er's face, and suddenly a finger print appeared on Miss Yun'er's delicate face, and she fell to the ground.

Originally, Lin Rui was chasing Yun'er to Izumo Temple today, and during this time, he went to look for Yun'er every once in a while, but Yun'er avoided him.

It's not that he is not angry in his heart, but as long as he sees Yun'er's shyness, sorrowful eyebrows, and a faint tearful look in his eyes.

The anger at the rejection of the idea has long since vanished.

He is already married, and Yun'er's attitude of avoiding suspicion is also understandable.

He asked people to look at Zhuangzi, where Yun'er lived, and knew that she had come to Izumo Temple, so he chased after her.

He was talking to Yun'er, and he didn't expect the Jiang family to suddenly appear.

He was originally shocked by Jiang's appearance, and was a little weak by her questioning, but at this time, he saw that Jiang slapped Yun'er regardless of thirty-seven twenty, and then saw Yun'er sitting on the ground, her face was pale, and the finger prints on the lining became more and more distinct.

Yun'er's eyes were full of tears, Chu Chu was pitiful, and her face was sad, and she was suddenly furious.

He shouted, "Vixen, are you a madman?" Didn't expect you to be such a person? Is this what the Jiang family taught you? Even if we get married, you are not qualified to become my person at will......"

My people?!

It's okay if he doesn't maintain Yun'er, if he maintains Yun'er, it will simply add fuel to the fire, Jiang's anger is so angry that it is almost dark in front of him.

She also grew up reading the fourth book of women, and the Jiang family grew up holding her in the palm of her hand, and when she was in Huangzhuang, it was obviously Lin Rui who approached her first.

She also knew that the queen's aunt took herself to her side, which meant to marry her cousin, so she did not resist her cousin's approach.

Originally, both of them adhered to the general defense of men and women, but that time, I don't know what's wrong, as if she was dizzy, and as if she was in a Gu, she was talking to her cousin, and finally woke up in bed.

If she was bewitched at first, but later, her cousin also secretly came to her several times.

She thought her cousin liked her, but she didn't expect it, she didn't expect it...... It changed when I got married.

Girls have always been sensitive to feelings, not to mention the Jiang family, who has been touched in the palm of her hand, she naturally felt the obvious change in Lin Rui's attitude.

She saw that Lin Rui often went out, and every time she came back in despair, after repeatedly asking Lin Rui's entourage, she knew about Yun'er's existence, and then even asked her about the wedding day.

She didn't expect the person she liked to be like this.

She was originally holding her stomach and her movements were a little clumsy, but when she saw Lin Rui's way of defending Yun'er, she suddenly jumped up and stepped forward to fight Lin Rui.

Lin Rui instinctively pushed, where did the Jiang family have his strength, so he was naturally pushed to the ground by him.

Even if the maid who came with Jiang saw that Jiang was about to fall, she hurriedly lay on the ground, wanting to use Jiang as a cushion, so as to reduce Jiang's pain and keep Jiang's stomach from hitting the ground.

That's it, Jiang Shi still really fell to the ground, and suddenly, Jiang Shi broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, covered his abdomen with his hands, and his face was white and transparent.

"Cousin ......"

"The Princess's ......"

"Quick...... Hurry up and help the mother up......"

The scene was chaotic for a while, and no one cared about Yun'er, who was still sitting on the ground.

Gu Nian looked at Miss Yun'er from a distance and hooked the corners of her mouth, and the smile looked creepy.

Lin Rui walked outside with the Jiang clan covered in blood, and when he passed Gu Nian, his footsteps paused.

He didn't expect such an ugly thing to be seen by Gu Nian, but he only paused for a moment, and then hurriedly hugged the Jiang family and walked out.

……

Early the next morning, news came from King An's Mansion that Jiang gave birth to a baby girl safely, but her body was also broken.

At the same time, the news that King An broke his body because of a woman who gave birth prematurely in his main room also spread throughout the capital.

In the palace, Lin Rui knelt in front of the emperor with his head down.

"Father, my son wants to see his mother...... Lin Rui said in a low voice.

The emperor looked at the son in front of him with hatred, and said in a low voice, "Your princess was born prematurely, and your queen mother was recruited into Yongfu Palace. ”

Although the Queen Mother is very kind, in the past, she had a lot of complaints about Queen Jiang, this time, Lin Rui had such a thing, although it was related to the Chengen Mansion, but the Queen Mother still called the queen over, reprimanded her well, and did not let her go back to Fengyi Palace after a day.

Lin Rui hurriedly said, "It's the son-in-law who did something wrong, and it has nothing to do with the queen mother......

The emperor said coldly, "For the sake of a woman, you almost let your child be stillborn in the end, and your mother was also affected." ”

"When your grandfather was on the throne, what kind of life did we live, you should know that I am a concubine, even if I am named the crown prince, I am still trembling.

After I succeeded to the throne, although I did not canonize the crown prince, I detained you by my side, and I wanted to cultivate you into a prince who was desired by the people and expected by everyone, but the way you are now, I am really disappointed......"

Mama Lin Rui listened to the emperor's reprimand, unable to refute, and had no way to refute, it was indeed that she was too emotional.

But he didn't expect where the Jiang clan would appear, and he didn't expect such a thing to happen with a gentle push.

The father said that he wanted to train him, but why didn't he canonize him as the crown prince first? But let him be in hesitation, panic?

He didn't believe that he really wanted to pass on the country to him, and now that he had married a wife, he still didn't let him receive any errands.

Just thinking about it, the emperor said, "Since you like the girl from the Cheng'en Mansion, it is impossible for you to be together, not to mention the seniority, even the Cheng'en Mansion will not be able to make her a concubine."

But today, I decreed that the Cheng'en Mansion would expel her from the house, and let her use the identity of a commoner to enter the Anwang Mansion as the lowest concubine.

How can my prince give up everything he wants to be a woman who wants it to fall into the homes of ordinary people?

Even if it's not in order, I will fulfill you. ”

When Lin Rui heard this, he only felt that his mind was suddenly overturned.

No, how could he let Yun'er be a concubine? How could he bear to see her as a concubine?

But the emperor was so resolute that he didn't dare to refuse.

What's more, he has already disappointed his father, and he can no longer disobey his father for a woman.

He couldn't add another show of mediocrity.

The emperor watched Lin Rui slowly walk out of the hall expressionlessly, his hand kept knocking on the table, even if he had given up on this son, he didn't want him to become a useless person.

Since the rhyme of the Cheng'en Mansion is his weakness, then he will help him get rid of his weakness.

The best way to get rid of the weakness is not to put her to death, nor to cut off the love thread with a knife or two, let them marry and marry.

Because in that case, Lin Rui will remember her for the rest of his life and become a hurdle in his heart that he will never be able to overcome.

He let Yun'er enter the palace, let her go and fight with a group of women for her son, let her bloom the most beautiful flowers for her son, let her bloom gorgeously, and then wither.

In that case, sooner or later the son will get tired of her, and then, this weakness will be gone.

At that time, it depends on whether his son is Jackie Chan or a rat.

……

The incident of Izumo Temple revealed the love affair between Yun'er and Lin Rui, and the Cheng'en Mansion felt extremely shocked and humiliated, and the Duchess of Cheng'en spurted out a mouthful of blood and passed out.

Yun'er is the old daughter of the Chengen Gong couple, and she is the girl in the palm of the family's hand, and now she not only wants to be a concubine, but also was expelled from the house by the emperor's secret decree, and almost defeated the people of the Chengen Mansion.

But the decree has been given, and if you don't obey it, you have to obey it.

Yun'er was carried into King An's mansion by a small sedan chair, and no one knows what the future holds.

Gu Nian was naturally too lazy to pay attention to the affairs of Queen An's house, let alone Xiao Yue.

Recently, all his energy has been focused on the matter of searching for the Four Princes.

In fact, they had already found traces of the Four Princes near the City God Temple in the capital, and the emperor even sent someone to Xiao Yue and asked him to capture the Four Princes.

But because he was afraid that the action would be too big and he would be discovered by the four princes and others, Xiao Yue only sent someone to secretly monitor the vicinity to find out which house the four princes were hiding in.

After a few days of investigation, I finally found something strange in a house, and the one who led the team was assigned to Gu Nian's envoy, this time, I was staring around, and I saw two black shadows suddenly popping out of the corrugated not far away, and went to the place where there was no light on the left.

The two guards who came with Dark Thirteen wanted to follow, but Dark Thirteen stopped them, "Don't worry. ”

He got up and looked at the position where the dark shadow had just jumped, and said, "You can send one person to chase after you, and the rest of the people will disperse, follow me to the house in front, and don't let anyone go, follow immediately behind." ”

The subordinates acted separately, and soon chased the people and ambushed the ambushes.

Not long after, a man in cloth clothes came out of the back corner door of the house, leaning over, but he could still see a bit of a martial artist between his steps.

Dark Thirteen whispered to the people around him, "You guys follow behind, be careful, don't be found again." ”

He and the others continued to lie on the roof opposite, surveying the house.

On the surface, it is no different from ordinary people's houses, but Dark Thirteen has been in and out of the palace, and he found that the few lamps lit in this house are clearly the palace lamps in the palace.

Dark Thirteen was very excited in his heart, he had a premonition that the four princes were in this house, but the prince had explained that he must catch the four princes and not let him escape.

Either way, be sure to catch it.

Dark Thirteen whispered again, "Everyone keep an eye on me, no matter who comes out of it, don't let it go." ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the silent back alley suddenly opened again, and an old woman with a basin of water came out, and the old woman poured water into the alley, looked left and right, and then retreated, and then the lights in the house were extinguished several times one after another.

Dark Thirteen was about to get up, when suddenly the person who followed the man in cloth in front of him came back and said, "Head, that person just now turned out to be the ...... of the Marquis of Pingyang."

Dark Thirteen froze for a moment, how could it be Pingyang Hou?

In an instant, he waved his hand and said, "You will go back to the palace to report to the prince." ”

Xiao Yue was also stunned when he received the news.

He once discussed with Gu Shi'an, and Nian Nian was also there at that time, and talked about the matter of the four princes, the four princes were able to sneak out of the Huangjue Temple, and they also found a stand-in, which must not be done overnight.

Finding a stand-in, changing one's appearance, learning how to behave, whether it's bribing the guards, digging tunnels, or other methods, it takes at least two years or more.

And during the time he was locked up in the temple, someone must have been outside.

In the past, I thought about a lot of people and investigated a lot of people, but I didn't expect that it was related to Pingyang Hou.

Xiao Yue was silent for a while, and ordered, "From now on, twelve hours will be spent keeping an eye on the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, including him on his way up and down the court." ”

"The house that Thirteen is now eyeing is also being watched in the same way, and as soon as someone comes out, they will immediately follow and follow him.

From today onwards, Liu Qingshan is requested to order that under the pretext of checking the population, all industries in the capital will be thoroughly investigated, and if there is anything suspicious, it will be sealed immediately. “

After Liu Qingshan received Xiao Yue's message, he said to the visitor, "Please rest assured, tomorrow I will order a thorough investigation of all the residential properties in Jingshi." ”

Xiao Yue sat on Gu Nian's side and sighed, "I really hope to catch the fourth prince quickly, so that he can be uprooted, so that Dongli will be restored." ”

Gu Nian rubbed his face and said, "Daddy, you've worked hard." ”

"Child, what are you going to eat tonight?" Xiao Yue asked.

Gu Nian chuckled lightly and said, "I'll make you three fresh noodles." ”

"I want to lie on the sugar heart poached eggs......" Xiao Yue rubbed behind her, carrying all kinds of willful demands.

"Yes." Gu Nian said with a smile.

Since Xiao Yue once ate the noodles made by Gu Nian on his birthday, he suddenly became addicted, and he wanted to grind her to make it when he had time.

During this time, Xiao Yue wrestled with the four princes, and it was indeed quite tiring, one bright and one dark, and the bright one was naturally not happy.

Now the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is being watched to death, and the only one that is not controlled is the four princes.

On this day, Xiao Yue Xiu Mu came back early, Gu Nian helped Xiao Yue change out of his clothes when he went out, and said, "The people who have been staring at the house of the four princes have been staring at it for a long time, in my opinion, it is better to let people go in and get people directly." In case, he tried to escape again, and then the gain outweighed the loss. “

Xiao Yue went to the screen and changed into regular clothes, and said, "I have already told Thirteen, if you haven't seen anyone come out today, you will go directly to the door to search." ”

Gu Nian nodded, the four princes were like a sharp blade hanging over their heads, and they didn't know when they would fall.

This matter has been hanging for too long, and although there are clues now, it is an empty word that people have not found after all.

However, even if you rush in and catch the person who is caught, what should you do? Instead, it will be beaten upside down.

There is only a need to wait.

But apparently Thirteen didn't let her wait long, and in the evening she was ready for dinner, and someone came back to report the news.

"Lord, someone came out of the house, first a carriage, tightly sealed, and when we sent someone to catch up, two people came out of the house slowly, went to the street on foot, and hired a car to go to the north.

One of them was wearing a cloak and looking at his figure, it was the Four Princes. ”

"Really?" Xiao Yue didn't have any use to eat, so he threw the chopsticks, "Have you ever chased after you?" ”

"The thirteenth elder brother has already led people to chase after him, but when they followed Liuye Hutong, they entered the silk village, and then they didn't come out......"

The messenger frowned and said, "At that time, we also made preparations that he would slip away, but before we could surround that side, the person was already gone."

The subordinates came back to ask the prince, did they arrest and interrogate the shopkeeper of the silk shop?

"What are you waiting for? Of course I went to catch it. Xiao Yue slammed his fist on the dining table, unable to hide the anger in his heart.

The messenger was instructed to withdraw, when another voice said, "Wait, don't be in a hurry to take it, wait until it is dark and bring the shopkeeper quietly, and don't alarm anyone." ”

"In addition, the original house of the four princes, also brought more people to search it, and there were still people in the house who also brought it back, and then carefully searched those inconspicuous corners to see what they found, and the action should be fast, steady, and don't alarm the people outside."

Xiao Yue withdrew his hand and said, "Do what the princess said, go down." ”

When the messenger left, the two of them didn't have the heart to eat anymore.

In the middle of the night, Thirteen caught the shopkeeper of the silk shop, who expected that this person committed suicide by poisoning halfway, and the guys in the store were all people nearby, and they didn't know what the shopkeeper was doing.

After checking again, the silk shop couldn't find anything, so he could only give up this clue and start looking for clues again.

……

In a simple courtyard in the capital, the four princes sat in front of the window in a daze.

Outside the window were two old women planting trees, and the wind was blowing, and their white hair was messy, making the fourth prince feel that midwinter should not be far away.

He felt more and more anxious in his heart, and occasionally felt like a wolf wandering in the snow, the hunters approaching, and his wolves had broken down, leaving only the claws of the limbs.

For more than twenty years, he never imagined that he would have this day, and his full energy was focused on the desire to succeed.

He imagined how he ascended to the throne, looked at the courtiers who were prostrate at his feet, imagined how to wash the Jin Palace, watched Xiao Yuekong have martial arts but watched his family members being executed by Ling Chi one by one, and even imagined what kind of mood he was in to pry open the tomb of Emperor Yongping, drag him out and whip his corpse, humiliating.

I also thought about putting Gu Nian by my side and taking it as my own forbiddenness. Belly.

He never imagined that he would be persecuted by Xiao Yi's descendants, like a lost dog, hiding in Tibet.

He didn't allow himself to fail, so he didn't imagine what it would be like to fail.

"Did you send the letter you said last time?" He dragged out a long, slow tone and said without replying.

The man in black in the shadows replied respectfully, "According to the current situation, it will be very slow for the letter to be delivered, and the subordinates will keep an eye on the news everywhere." ”

"Does the prince want to end this matter at the end of the year?"

"What if you don't finish it?" The fourth prince turned around, and slowly raised his gaze more sad than cold, "Xiao Yue is walking around today, although I am not well-informed now, but at least he will not act abnormally at this time, we have little time, I will die, and I will die on the emperor's road, not just be caught." ”

……

Since Lina was sent back to the palace by Xiao Yue, the emperor sent someone to guard it strictly, and after the Northern Barbarian envoys knew about it, they protested against it, and the other beauties were given to the generals, but they didn't expect their princess to be so disgusted, so they naturally went to the emperor and said.

The emperor never gave an explanation, so the Northern Barbarian envoys stayed in the capital and did not go back.

They have been living in Honglu Temple, and although the imperial court did not send people to follow them, their every move is also under surveillance.

Xu Er has been in and out of the palace recently, and he knows that there are Northern Barbarians in the capital, so he wants to go and see what these Northern Barbarians who are different from the Central Plains look like.

Before Gu Nian and Xiao Yue could speak, the emperor spoke first, and asked Xu Er to take Xu'er to see Honglu Temple.

The emperor can be said to be responsive to Xu'er's needs, but this premise is that Xu'er goes to the palace to accompany him, and then listens to him talk about those boring political affairs.

If Xu'er can understand, then promise Xu'er one thing.

If he doesn't understand, he will repeat it, just like playing a game, and the uncle and nephew are having a lot of fun.

Gu Nian heard that the emperor had allowed Xu Er to go to Honglu Temple, afraid that he would not listen to those people, and wanted Xiao Yue to follow, but Xiao Yue was busy with the affairs of the four princes, and Gu Shi'an was nowhere to be seen.

There was no way, she could only dress up and follow Xu'er.

Honglu Temple is a place to receive envoys from all over the world, in addition to the Northern Barbarian Mission, there are also some envoys from the vassal countries of the Eastern Dynasty, some are here to pay tribute, some are to cry poor.

Xu Er naturally watched with relish, Gu Nian was dressed as an ordinary woman, holding Xu Er's hand, and when she passed by a house, two burly men walked far away from the window, obviously Northern Barbarians.

The one on the left gestured, and said something quickly as he walked, but he spoke the Northern Barbarian dialect, and there was no one from Honglu Temple as a translator, so he couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

Xu Er stopped, and Gu Nian also restrained his mind and looked at it.

These two people have strong muscles and sharp eyes, and they look like warriors.

They walked to the window steps and stopped, and one of them, the same person who had spoken earlier, was talking to the other man with his hands around his chest.

And the man with his hands on his chest looked much younger, with a bronzed complexion, sharp facial features, and a pair of eye sockets that were already slightly deep, looking fierce and abnormal.

"They are the envoys of the Northern Barbarians?" Gu Nian asked.

There was someone from the palace in the back, and it should have been.

Gu Nian and his party were relatively numerous, which naturally attracted the attention of those two people, and the person who had just been more than a hand pulled the young man and whispered a few words, and the young man looked over, so he slowly bent over and saluted.

Gu Nian naturally didn't want to make a fuss, so he pulled Xu'er to the other side, but the young man who bent down just now stepped forward to stop him, "In Xia Huode, dare to ask......"

The young man's Dongli is not very proficient in speaking, but the arrogance between his words makes people very unhappy.

Xu'er raised her eyes, looked at Hodder with a bone, shook her head and said, "Daddy said not to tell strangers about their names." ”

He looked Hord up and down and said, "It looks like the big brother is a warrior, and his martial arts must be very good, right?" I heard that the northern barbarians are very powerful. ”

He paused, and then said, "But why was it beaten by our Jin Prince, I saw it today, but that's it." ”

Huo De didn't expect such a kid in front of him to dare to laugh at them like this, his face was slightly gloomy, his eyes were sharp, and he looked at Gu Nian and said, "I heard that Dongli is a state of etiquette and a city of kindness, how can even a yellow-mouthed child be so aggressive?" ”
