As the people's lives got better, some people who originally wanted to restore the country slowly let go and integrated into the lives of ordinary people. Jiang Xuerou personally went to Taiwei's Mansion and appealed to Jiang Taiwei for her thoughts, trying to persuade Jiang Taiwei to surrender with the remnants of the Liang State, but was slapped by Jiang Taiwei.

"I, Jiang Anmin, would give birth to such a shameless obstacle as you! Chu Fusheng is a wolf with ambition, how can he treat me really Liang people, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was deliberately brutally killed by him, and he was hung at the city gate to show the public, you didn't see how miserable his death was! As his wife, you actually threw your arms into his arms and helped the murderer fight the world! and Gongzi Jin's death is unknown, have you forgotten all this! Jiang Taiwei looked at his daughter with disappointment.

She argued: "Before that, Xue Rou was also thinking about recovering the country, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the prince are no longer there, who will surrender if they choose someone else?" Now that the overall situation has been decided, why should we do any more useless struggles, why not really do something for the people of Daliang? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone, can you forget your roots? Can you let go of your deep hatred and go to the enemy? Xue Rou, when did you become so naïve, Chu Fusheng is ruthless, it won't be Mingjun, even if I choose one of the officials of Daliang to succeed to the throne, I can't let Chu Fusheng, a person who tramples on my country's soil, be stable! ”

"Dad, I have seen the lives of the people of Yicheng, and they are all living well, why do they have to fight? There is no one in the Wei family anymore, and Dad, you are still so eager to return to the country, could it be that you want to ascend to the throne? ”

"Smack-" Another slap, Jiang Taiwei was so angry that his beard turned up: "You really think of yourself as the queen of Chu!" , I don't have a daughter like you! Let me see you again, I'll see you once and hit once! ”

Chu Fusheng helped her cover her face, and said distressedly: "Why are you so stupid, after so many years, don't you know Lord Taiwei's temper?" He's a fool in name. But ah, you don't have to worry, he is your biological father after all, and I won't touch him. ”

"Fusheng, I want to help you."

"You just have to be okay, don't worry me, leave these things to me, trust me, huh?"

"Hmm!"

Since that day, Jiang Taiwei has been ill and has been breathing in less than a month. Jiang Xuerou blamed herself very much, and wore linen and filial piety to worship at the door, but was blasted out by Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang threatened that Mrs. Jiang had already announced that she would be expelled from the house, and the Jiang family did not welcome the Chu people.

After Jiang Xuerou returned to the palace, she fell ill because of depression in her heart, Chu Fusheng patiently comforted her every day, and it took more than half a month for her to recover. When her health was a little better, she sent someone to inquire about the news, only to learn that before her father was buried, her mother also went with him, and she was sick for more than ten days in sadness. Chu Fusheng severely punished the person who did the good thing.

When she returned to the Qinzheng Palace after her body recovered, she suddenly found that she and Chu Fusheng's political views were at odds, and the reason was that Shi Qikeng killed prisoners of war.

Three days ago, the Chu army took the defense of the country in one fell swoop and captured 300,000 prisoners. Among them, 200,000 expressed their willingness to surrender on the spot, and were disorganized into the army, and the remaining 100,000 were unwilling to surrender, Shi Qi ordered to be killed on the spot.

In a word, it cost 100,000 lives, which is simply heartbreaking. Jiang Xuerou was furious and wanted to severely punish Shi Qi, but Chu Fusheng disagreed, saying that Shi Qi was outstanding and loyal, and only 100,000 prisoners. For this reason, the two quarreled for the first time and fought for several days.

A few days later, Chu Fusheng still compromised, telling her that Shi Qi had heavy troops in hand at that time, and he couldn't punish him, for fear that he would rebel on the spot, and he had to wait for him to come back and remove his military power before he could be punished. Now that he is leading a large army to attack the state of Chen, he has issued an edict ordering him to treat his captives well, telling her not to be impatient, he has kept these accounts in mind, and will settle them one by one in the future.

She nodded, she agreed, he was right, Shi Qi supported the army and respected himself, and he really couldn't be punished casually, so he had to choose the right time.

Later, she found that he and her discussed more about how to govern the interior, and he hardly mentioned the matter of fighting outside, and she asked him with a simple sentence. She suddenly had a feeling that he was hiding something from her, that everything she knew was what he wanted her to know, and that she didn't know anything else.

Also, in the past two months, most of those who were originally important ministers of the Liang State and later pretended to return to the Chu State have been replaced by the Chu people, and those officials who have been replaced have more or less had something happen at home. It looked like a natural disaster, like a coincidence, but once there were too many coincidences, it wasn't a coincidence, and she couldn't help but start wondering.

However, a few days ago, Chu Fusheng took her micro-clothes to walk around Yicheng, saying that she was aware of the people's feelings, and when she saw the people in Yicheng with smiles on their faces, her heart was a little more comfortable, and it was her greatest pursuit for the people to live well.

On this day, Chu Fusheng was going to inspect the army, but he didn't let her follow him anyway, he said: "Xue Rou, those rough old men are a pack of wolves, they will drool when they see your piece of fresh meat, how can I take you to that kind of place and make people covet my queen?" ”

She was not convinced, so she disguised herself and quietly followed him, but he did not go to the barracks, but entered a restaurant. She quietly followed, booked the private room next to him at a high price, and ordered a pot of tea.

"The king, I heard that the queen has a lot of complaints about the last general!" Shi Qi drank a bowl of wine and laughed.

Chu Fusheng was slightly stunned: "So the widow didn't call you back to the palace to report on your work." It's okay if you want to kill people, and you can do a good job on your face, don't be caught by Yushi, otherwise the widow won't be able to explain to Xuerou. ”

"Alas, the king is sincere to his mother, and I, the old man, are moved to look at it, but there are still some things that have to be hidden from her."

"She has now let go of her hatred and is willing to live with the widow for the rest of her life, and the widow doesn't want to make extraneous branches, you have to control your mouth, and dispose of some useless people who should deal with it. If the queen knows the truth, the widow will ask you. ”

Jiang Xuerou's heart was pounding, and her hands were tightly covering her chest to prevent it from jumping out. What is he hiding from himself, so serious that he wants to kill people.

Shi Qi poured wine for Chu Fusheng: "Don't worry, king, we have done those things very secretly, it seems to be an accident, and no one will suspect it." ”

Chu Fusheng drank all the wine in the cup: "That Wei Yuanhui, he can't even raise his head, and he dares to rob Xuerou with the widow, he deserves to die, it is already cheap for him to let him die so happily, but unfortunately the widow was entangled by Xuerou at the time, and he couldn't see his struggle before he died." ”

"Hahaha, my lord, isn't it much more interesting to be pestered by the queen to spend the Spring Festival together than to watch a dead man?"

"Also, and his evil seed, in order to protect him, Xue Rou actually lied to the widow that it was her own, which made the widow sad for a while, and he deserved to die! That old man Jiang was obsessed, and he still stopped Xue Rou from being with the widow, even more damned! ”

Jiang Xuerou covered her mouth stiffly, not letting herself make a sound. Although she knew, even if she was discovered, it would be nothing, at most she would be imprisoned by him. However, in that case, how can she take revenge.

forced himself to calm down and hurried back to the palace, but she was almost hit by a carriage on the way, it was Chu Dingyuan, and Chu Dingyuan offered to send her back to the palace.

After getting into the carriage, she suddenly changed her attention and offered to ask Chu Dingyuan to take her to the back mountain of Xiangguo Temple to see the maple leaves.

Chu Dingyuan quipped: "Sister-in-law Wang, I don't dare, you are expensive, I will take you out like this, I am afraid that Brother Wang will eat me, or tell me to capture the Jin Kingdom." ”

Jiang Xuerou gave him a blank look: "Then you dare to send me back to the palace?" Aren't you afraid that he will punish you? Forget it, I'll hire a carriage myself! She pretended to get out of the car.

"Hey, sister-in-law! Can't I go? Chu Dingyuan stopped her, "Brother Wang is very scary, but I, I can't move my legs when I see a beauty, and I have to accompany me when I go up the knife mountain and down the oil pot!" ”

In the forest, the two talked for a long time, and it wasn't until it was almost dark that Chu Dingyuan sent her back to the palace.

Chu Fusheng didn't see her after returning to the palace, and he was so anxious that he sent people around to look for her, and when he saw Chu Dingyuan sending her back, his face immediately fell.

Jiang Xuerou ran over and grabbed his arm: "I wanted to go to find you, but I didn't find you, I got lost, and I forgot to bring money, I couldn't even hire a carriage, but fortunately, I met the sixth brother on the road and sent me back." ”

Chu Fusheng's face softened at this time, patted the back of her hand and said, "It's okay." ”

In the next few days, she deliberately asked Chu Fusheng about how to deal with Shi Qi, so that Chu Fusheng found a reason to avoid her. Seeing him go away, she breathed a sigh of relief, knowing the truth, she could no longer pretend that nothing had happened and still be with him. As a pillow person, he can feel the change in her mood, and the best way to keep him from noticing is to keep his distance.

Shen'er blamed herself very much, and finally asked for the guilt: "Miss, it's all Shen'er's fault, I made a blind idea, hurt Miss, and ask Miss to punish you!" ”

"Hurry up, what are you doing here?"

Seeing that she was still kneeling, she helped her up and comforted: "Shen'er, you are thinking about me, and you are also thinking about the people in the world, but we all underestimated Chu Fusheng, and we don't want him to reach the point of hopelessness and madness!" He not only killed his father and mother, but also killed His Royal Highness the Prince and the prince, he even agreed with Shi Qikeng to kill prisoners of war, where is he a Ming Jun, he is clearly a tyrant! The changes in the families of those ministers of Liang State must be inseparable from him! I should have thought that he could destroy a country for me as a woman, how could he be a good kind! ”

"Miss!"

"Okay, Shen'er, don't blame yourself! It's Chu Fusheng who is too bad, and we are not his opponents. You go out first, and let me think about how to go from here. ”

She sat until dark, and finally made up her mind. Tears couldn't help but fall.

Now all she had to do was wait, wait for the right moment.
