Chapter 430: Both Ends
The originally renovated Qi Wangfu had just welcomed the owner, and the master did not come back for a long time.
Chu Xiurong walked among them, feeling a little empty, or unfamiliar.
"Although the imperial city is not happy to live." He lamented, "But after staying for a long time, I always feel that there is something missing when I come to other places." ”
He didn't come back alone, followed by Zhou Xuan.
Coming out of the palace, Zhou Xuan's face was very long, and he barely squeezed out a smile when he heard this: "Think about the prince, how he feels when he arrives at his new residence, he is very happy to live in the imperial city for so many years." ”
Chu Xiurong smiled: "He, it is estimated that there is nothing unhappy, doing this kind of thing, he can still live well." ”
When the emperor saw him murdering himself, he refused to announce his guilt to the world, and replaced the edict of the deposed prince with some vague words.
Zhou Xuan looked at him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is still reluctant, although this son is bent on his life, he still can't bear to let the world laugh at this son." ”
Chu Xiurong didn't speak and walked into the hall.
"Hey, I'm not sowing discord." Zhou Xuan shouted, "This is a future trouble, not to announce the crime of killing his father, at any time to overturn today's empty charges and make him the prince again." ”
Chu Xiurong smiled and said, "Ah Xuan, today my father forced you to marry Jin Yao, don't be angry." ”
Zhou Xuan suddenly jumped violently: "It's the prince who wants to kill him, what kind of tantrum does he throw at me, what does he think of me!" ”
"Treat you as a courtier." Chu Xiurong said gently, "Let you marry the princess, block the mouth of King Xiliang, and take back your military power." ”
The last sentence was also the most important, Zhou Xuan looked at him, his face was pale, and he sneered.
Chu Xiurong took the towel held by the little eunuch in the hall and wiped his hands, and said softly: "My father was scared of half his life by illness this time, and it was terrible to hear it but not be able to move or speak, and then he was scared by the prince for half his life, and now he doesn't trust everyone and is on guard." ”
The little eunuch held a towel to Zhou Xuan, but was driven out by Zhou Xuan with a wave of his hand.
Zhou Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Xiurong: "In this case, Your Majesty will not canonize you as the crown prince for a while." ”
Chu Xiurong sat down and poured himself tea: "Don't worry, I've been waiting for so many years, and I'm not afraid to wait." ”
Zhou Xuan walked a few steps in the room: "It's not a hurry to canonize the prince, the most urgent thing now is Danzhu, she is still closed, we have to find a way to let her out." ”
Chu Xiurong said: "I said, she is the safest in the palace now." ”
"The emperor was sick before, and you can control it in the palace." Zhou Xuan frowned, "Now that the emperor has woken up, you have been kicked out, and His Majesty's attitude towards Chu Yurong is very bad." ”
As soon as the emperor woke up, he was in a hurry to go to the court, first deposed the crown prince, and then solved the crisis of Princess Jin Yao, but did not mention Chu Yurong.
At the beginning, the prince announced that Chu Yurong had plotted to kill the emperor, Chu Yurong fled, and now the soldiers and horses are still searching everywhere, and Zhou Xuan, as an officer and soldier, knows that there is an order to kill.
Now that the emperor has known that it is the crown prince who really murdered him, why didn't he clear Chu Yurong of his crimes?
"Because, Chu Yurong's charges have nothing to do with the prince." Chu Xiurong held the teacup and said, "It's my father's order." ”
Since it was the emperor's own will, there was probably nothing to amend.
"This Chu Yurong is really amazing." Zhou Xuan touched his chin and pondered, "How did he provoke Your Majesty?" ”
Chu Xiurong didn't care about this: "It's a matter between him and His Majesty, it has nothing to do with us, don't pay attention to it." ”
Zhou Xuan frowned: "Why is it irrelevant?" If he doesn't get rid of his sins, Danzhu will be in trouble. ”
Chu Xiurong smiled: "Don't worry about this, he is him, Miss Danzhu is Miss Danzhu, and he will not be affected by him, not to mention, there is me-you here." ”
He was about to say that I was here, but looking at the young man with his face in front of him, he didn't leave Chen Danzhu for three sentences so far, so he added another you.
Zhou Xuan's complexion was really much better.
"I'm enough." He said, "Your Highness, just go about your own business. ”
Chu Xiurong smiled: "You also go to rest, at this time, we still see each other less." ”
"Anyway, Your Majesty has already guarded against me, and I can see whoever I want." Zhou Xuan snorted and said, raising his eyebrows, "I'll just see everyone one by one." "Say goodbye.
Chu Xiurong watched him stride away with a smile, Xiaoqu stepped forward from the side and asked in a low voice, "Follow him?" ”
Now don't say that the emperor is wary of anyone, they must too.
Chu Xiurong shook his head: "No, no, it doesn't matter." ”
These three sentences obviously mean the same thing, but it seems that the meaning is different, Xiaoqu understands and is puzzled, and looks at Chu Xiurong bowing his head and drinking tea, so he retreats.
Zhou Xuan left the palace of the king of Qi, and sure enough, he rode a horse and brought his entourage to the palace of King Lu of Yan.
Zhou Xuan complained to King Yan that the emperor asked him to marry Princess Jin Yao, and now that the prince has been deposed as a concubine, King Yan is the eldest brother, and he treats his brothers more kindly, so he patiently comforts him, saying that he will take Princess Jin Yao back first, and then talk slowly.
And King Lu cried with Zhou Xuan, the emperor was in a coma for so long, in fact, he knew everything, and he was worried that the emperor would blame himself for not serving his illness well - because he was afraid that he would always hide behind at that time, and then he would simply not come to the emperor.
"I'm not disrespectful or filial to my father." King Lu sighed, "I'm afraid, my father is unconscious, and I'm also afraid of him." ”
Zhou Xuan smiled: "What are you afraid of, when the emperor blames you, you can just push it to the abolished prince." ”
This is also true, King Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Xuan left King Lu's Mansion and passed by the place where the Five Princes were confined, Qing Feng smiled and said, "Childe, won't you go in here with the Five Princes?" Tell him the good news that the crown prince was deposed? ”
Zhou Xuan glanced at the mansion, there were a few guards standing at the door whispering and laughing, and when he saw Zhou Xuan and others coming, he was busy with solemn expressions.
"Marquis Zhou." They also politely reminded, "You can't stay here for too long." ”
Zhou Xuan tilted his head to Qing Feng and said, "This good news, let's leave it to others to tell him." Then he urged the horse over.
Qing Feng smiled and followed, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at the place where the prince was confined, compared to the Five Princes' Mansion, this place was more strict, and when he saw Zhou Xuan coming, there were soldiers waving his hand to stop him from afar.
Zhou Xuan turned the horse's head and took Qingfeng and the others back to the Beijing camp, the soldiers and generals greeted him, took over the horse armor, Zhou Xuan strode towards the Chinese army camp, and asked: "There is nothing unusual around, right?" ”
An adjutant general stepped forward and said, "Earlier, a group of people from the southwest passed by. ”
Zhou Xuan paused and asked, "What person?" ”
The lieutenant said in a low voice: "There are many who work under the prince's command. ”
Qingfeng immediately said: "You can't let them go, these people are all the prince's comrades." ”
Zhou Xuan interrupted him: "What kind of party, a group of rabble, the trees are scattered, don't pay attention to them." As he spoke, he untied his waist knife and threw it to Qing Feng, "I also reminded me, you have thoroughly investigated the officers and generals in the army in the past few days to see who is close to the prince." ”
Qingfeng sighed, always feeling that something was not quite right, but-
"Don't go yet!" Zhou Xuan glared and shouted, "If you don't find it out, Your Majesty will treat me as a fellow prince." ”
Qing Feng hurriedly turned around and went.
The previous deputy general lifted the curtain, Zhou Xuan walked into the camp tent, and there was a soldier in the camp who was cleaning up the table, and when he saw Zhou Xuan coming in, he bowed down and saluted, "Master Hou." "I didn't quit either.
Zhou Xuan sat down, looked at him, and asked, "Where did you old Qi King go?" ”
Today's King of Qi is the third prince Chu Xiurong, and the old King of Qi naturally refers to the one who was deposed as a concubine.
Taking advantage of the emperor's illness, the king of Qi escaped from the captive Qi County, and now he is also being pursued, and there is no news.
Zhou Xuan asked a little soldier easily, and the little soldier also smiled easily, and poured a bowl of tea.
"What old King Qi, Chu Cheng just wants to find a barren mountain and forest to die peacefully." He said.
Chu Cheng is the name of the old King of Qi, Zhou Xuan sneered: "What's the meaning of being alive." ”
The little soldier smiled bitterly: "It's not interesting for him to live." ”
Zhou Xuan waved his hand at him: "I know I can't ask you anything, it's true, it's not interesting for him to live." ”
The little soldier saluted, and said: "Master Hou, it's still very interesting that we are alive with you, we must do a good job of what you tell you to explain, here in the capital, we are all staring at the dead, the prince's people have gone in all directions, it is estimated that a lot of people will be summoned, is it to follow up now to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, or wait for them to come and catch them all again?" ”
Zhou Xuan drank all the tea he brought: "Of course it is, I don't care about anything." ”
......
.......
When the capital was hotly discussed because the emperor was ill and abolished the crown prince, the new envoy of Honglu Temple rushed to Xijing day and night and told Princess Jin Yao the good news that the emperor had woken up.
Princess Jin Yao lived in the palace in Xijing, waiting for the messenger of Xiliang to send a message to the king of Xiliang.
She no longer had the previous fear, the fish talisman sent by Chu Yurong was hung in front of her, and she also knew that her father would not die, and as soon as she entered Xijing, Dr. Yuan, who was left behind in the Six Princes' Mansion, secretly sent ten people as personal guards.
"This is the order of the Sixth Highness." Doctor Yuan whispered.
Dr. Yuan still lives in the Six Princes' Mansion, but the entire mansion has been seized by the Xijing official mansion that received the news.
Because Dr. Yuan was not in the capital, he escaped being treated as a member of the party, but he was strictly guarded - of course, the supervision could not be watched.
Although she knew that her father would be safe and sound, Princess Jin Yao still cried with joy when she heard the messenger from the capital say it herself.
"I knew my father would be fine." She said that the sixth brother would never lie to her.
The envoy didn't think that the princess's words meant anything else, and told her more news, such as the prince was deposed, Dr. Hu was not dead, he was hidden in the palace by the king of Qi, and the emperor was cured, and Dr. Hu was assassinated by the prince.
Princess Jin Yao knows more about the inside story than this envoy, for example, Dr. Hu is not a doctor at all, and he is absent-minded and a little incomprehensible, so Dr. Hu is Chu Xiurong's person?
Third brother, what is he going to do?
Although the father is well, the situation in the imperial city is still unknown.
The envoy talked and saw that Princess Jin Yao was not curious and happy, but frowned, and her eyes were a little sad - he understood, girls care more about themselves.
"Your Highness." He said, relaying the emperor's words, "You don't have to marry the crown prince of Xiliang, Your Majesty refused." ”
Princess Jin Yao smiled, this is the emperor's momentum in Great Xia.
The day after the arrival of the envoy of Honglu Temple, the envoy of Xiliang also returned, and happily said that the prince of Xiliang had come in person, bringing as much dowry as the mountain, and asked the princess to allow them to enter the country to marry.
The envoy of Honglu Temple came forward to meet them: "The emperor has woken up and has something to say to King Xiliang." "Let the Xiliang envoy lead the way," the envoy personally went to see the crown prince of Xiliang. ”
The Xiliang envoy could only obey the order, and Princess Jin Yao also had to follow: "Since I am here, why do I also want to see the Xiliang people." ”
Officials at Honglu Temple persuaded that "there is still some way to the border." "The border is desolate." even whispered that the people of Xiliang were very ugly.
Princess Jin Yao laughed: "If I was afraid, I wouldn't have come here." ”
On the third day, Princess Jin Yao's car drove under the escort of the officials and horses, and the Xiliang envoy slowly walked outside Xijing.
It was just dawn and there were not many pedestrians on the street, but the princess's car was stopped.
"Princess, princess. It's me, it's me. ”
Princess Jin Yao lifted the curtain of the car and saw the passerby who was stopped by the guards, waving his hands, and shouting in a hoarse voice, he was dusty and haggard, although he hadn't seen it a few times, maybe he hadn't seen him for a long time, Princess Jin Yao still recognized it at a glance.
The scholar stretched out his hand and gestured at that time and said, "I am a character far away, which is different from the princess's golden body." ”
"Zhang Yao." Princess Jin Yao shouted in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”
