Chapter 376: Temptation
When the eldest grandson Huai had more crimes, a holy decree also went to the Second Prince's Mansion.
A few yellow fallen leaves in the courtyard drifted down, and there was a little more gloom in the autumn wind, which was also a little similar to Zhao Yan's experience, in the summer, he was almost the candidate for the crown prince that everyone recognized, but in a moment, he became the object of everyone's suspicion.
Zhao Yan sat on the stone steps and wiped the long sword in his hand, which was specially created by his mother when he decided to join the army, and gave him the merit of killing the enemy.
Princess Jingyun didn't pay attention to it, she sat down directly beside Zhao Yan and said softly, "Not happy? Can't bear the power in your hands now? ”
"Recently, there have been a lot of military newspapers such as the Privy Council, which are more frequent than in the past, and I am afraid that there will be changes in the future!" Zhao Yan said lightly, "I don't know if I still have a chance to go into battle to kill the enemy!" ”
"Why is Xianggong so pessimistic? You are outstanding in martial arts, familiar with the art of war, you are a rare general, if there really is a day, you will definitely be the best choice! Princess Jingyun said, "Your loyal heart will not be invisible to the emperor, and your talented father will not ignore it, although the father emperor has now dismissed all the positions in your hands, so that you can reflect at home, once the war starts, there are many new generals under the father, but you and the eldest grandson Chi can only serve the public!" ”
"After all, it's me who is causing you trouble!" Zhao Yan said, "After all, they are still targeting me, and you will be trapped in this courtyard with me if you are tired!" ”
"Between husband and wife, there should be blessings and misfortunes!" Princess Jingyun said gently, "Besides, I don't feel bitter, I used to think that Xianggong was too busy, but now I stay with Xianggong all the time, and it is also a gift to me, I cherish the current days!" ”
She paused, rested her head on Zhao Yan's shoulder and asked, "Xianggong, did you say that there will be a war between Da Zhou and Da Chen?" ”
"I don't know!" Zhao Yan said, "But no matter what, you are my wife, and I will protect you!" ”
Princess Jingyun hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled sweetly: "I want to listen to you a sweet word or two, but it's really not easy!" I don't like to fight, a lot of people will die in a war, and a war will tear countless families apart, I hope that there will be permanent peace between Da Zhou and Da Chen, which is also the purpose of my father and the prince's brother to let me marry Da Zhou, for me, Da Chen is my homeland, Da Zhou is too, no matter which side is destroyed, my heart is unbearable! Xianggong, have you ever been to Chen? In the past, the maple leaves of Yushan Mountain were red, a large piece of a large area, like a fire burning, I want to be able to go with you one day, I want to share all the beautiful scenery I see with you! ”
"There will be such a day!" Zhao Yan patted Princess Jingyun's head, "The coming day is long!" ”
Princess Jingyun looked at the scattered fallen leaves, thought for a while and said, "The weather is cold, and I don't know if the mother concubine is alone in Ganlin Temple, and her body is still well?" ”
Zhao Yan's eyes also showed a trace of longing: "I hope that everything is okay with the concubine, and I hope that the affairs in Beijing will not reach the ears of the concubine, so that she will not worry!" ”
Zhao Yan was placed under house arrest in the mansion, but Zhao Ye, who was recuperating in Fengxi Palace, was not much better, first of all, the queen mother who faced every day, this was not an ordinary woman, she was the one who once single-handedly pushed her father to the throne, he was naturally nervous and afraid of revealing flaws, and then worried that the fall of the eldest grandson's family would affect him, or let himself lose reliable foreign aid.
Thirdly, the emperor's grandmother asked Liu Ruli to recuperate for him, this Liu Ruli is known as a poison doctor, and his ability to poison is naturally outstanding, since he is Jiang Xiaoyu's master, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not secretly plot against himself, so every time he drinks medicine, he has to let people try and try, every time Liu Ruli comes to check his pulse, looking at the smile on his face, he has to be terrified.
He proposed to go back to the house three times to recuperate, but he was rejected by the imperial grandmother in an understatement, but under this grand honor, he was a panicked heart.
However, there is one thing, Zhao Ye and Jiang Xiaoyu have reached a rare consensus, that is, let Liu Ruli leave the palace as soon as possible.
He used self-harm to prevent his father from setting up the second prince, or maybe to some extent it will dispel the hope that some people agree that Zhao Yan's character is the choice of the prince, the second brother is indeed because things are unsatisfactory on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and his father must dispose of him to himself, to the hundred officials, and to the people of the world to give an explanation, but at this time, he took out the Jin Concubine who was in the cold palace, and was named Concubine De, temporarily managing the six palaces.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ye's lips flashed with a sneer, why was this Concubine De picked up from the cold palace, because one day the father didn't know whether it was a temporary intention or something else, so he went to the cold palace, so Concubine De was found to be two months pregnant, and Da Zhou will usher in the sixth prince.
With the dragon species, it is a great credit, and I don't dare to care why she was beaten into the cold palace in the first place, nor dare to care whether her exceptional promotion is in line with the rules, after all, in this deserted harem, it does need to be managed by one person.
Now that the queen mother is here, she has gone crazy, and the position of the queen is like a vacancy, so Concubine De is the master of the harem.
Who doesn't know the relationship between the five princes and the son of the Jiang family and the son of the Chu Palace, this concubine is also directly regarded as the second brother's person, although the father and emperor disposed of the second brother because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he opened a big window for him, or he was vaguely telling the officials his attitude towards the prince.
So is the child in Concubine De's current womb impulsive by his father, or did he anticipate today's situation on purpose?
"Father, father!" Zhao Ye sneered, "I'm still not your opponent!" ”
Concubine De is out of the cold palace, is there anyone in the harem who can restrain her, so what should be that matter......
If it is known by his father, he is afraid that he will not escape!
Zhao Ye's eyes rose with a soaring coldness and murderous intent, this has always been his father's favorite thing to do, he will not do it first, he will only force you to do it first!
Chu Wangfu.
It was a sunny afternoon, Zhao Qu was strolling in the back garden of the palace, and suddenly a few silver needles flew towards him, the angle of these silver needles was very tricky, and he was not allowed to have time to think, his eyes narrowed, and he quickly turned over and dodged a few silver needles, although his movements were simple, but the agility and strength shown were not comparable to ordinary people.
After he stood firm, he looked at a white shadow walking towards him, sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you doing this? ”
Jiang Xiaoyu hugged his arms, looked at him and said coldly: "You really know martial arts!" ”
"So what? Is there a rule that men in the Chu Palace's mansion are not allowed to learn martial arts? Zhao Qu had a gentle smile on his face, but no matter how Jiang Xiaoyu looked at it, there was a very deep city hidden under this young face.
"I'm just checking it!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly, "But your reaction was beyond my expectations, I know that your martial arts are not low, but I am not interested in trying it out in person, I just want to ask, what is the purpose of coming back?" ”
Zhao Qu lowered his eyes and quickly raised his eyes to look at Jiang Xiaoyu and said, "If I say that I want me to come back, I hope that my father and eldest brother can recognize me, do you believe it?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu did not speak.
Zhao Qu smiled lowly: "It's normal that you don't believe it, after all, I can't even believe such a reason!" But I can tell you the truth with my sister-in-law, I have no ill will towards you or my eldest brother now, as for believe it or not, that's your business! As long as you don't mess with me, I won't be stupid enough to stab you in the back at this time, what good will it do me? ”
"I believe in you!" Jiang Xiaoyu looked straight at Zhao Qu, "I believe you this time!" ”
"I think the only one who can understand me is you, sister-in-law, you have avenged your mother, and I am the same, but my enemy is not in the Chu Palace, you don't have to worry about this, this is the purpose of my return! Maybe we're not on the same side, but we're not enemies! Zhao Qu said.
"You mean, there's something else going on in your mother's death?" Jiang Xiaoyu frowned and asked.
"That's my business!" Zhao Qu said lightly, "Forgive me for the inconvenience!" When I came back to the Chu Palace, my sister-in-law was kind to me, which is enough to make me grateful, so sister-in-law, let me repeat that sentence again, as long as you don't mess with me, I won't hurt you! ”
"Okay, I won't be suspicious of you anymore, and I hope you won't let me down!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, the words fell, and turned to leave.
She actually admired Zhao Qu a lot, thinking about what she was doing with something as big as him? Or Zhao Ling, at this age, I'm afraid it's not as good as him.
He wanted anything from his father and brother, but was it necessary?
Zhao Qu looked at Jiang Xiaoyu's back, his eyebrows raised slightly, and a trace of complex emotions that did not fit his age flashed in his eyes.
The next day, when Wu Qian listened to Zhuyuan at night again, there was a news that Jiang Xiaoyu was worried, his uncle's old illness had relapsed, and now he urgently needed the master to regulate his body, if he delayed, he was afraid that there would be any danger!
It is necessary to rescue the master from the palace as soon as possible, but now that the queen mother does not let people go, what reason can the master leave the palace?
Looking at Jiang Xiaoyu's frowning brows, Zhao Ling thought for a while and said: "Since the situation is urgent, I can only take risks now, I will discuss this matter with my father, and you can wait for my news!" ”
"Why bother to involve your father?"
"Uncle's matter, I'm afraid that my father may not be willing to stand by, and besides, my father has to take action in this matter!" Zhao Ling said, "Don't worry, wait until I ask my father's opinion, anyway, I already have the method!" ”
