Jinling and Yuhang are not far away, counting the sunrise during the day, I received the news at night, and the horses came, it was almost this time, of course, the fastest was also this time.

The first person to appear in front of him was Zhang Xie and his party, and Qiao Ran was not surprised.

When she saw Zhang Xie appear, she subconsciously touched her neck. There are some things that I don't feel too scared when I do them, and I did them with courage at the time, but after I did them, the fear came one after another.

The knife almost killed her, but she ran faster, she was more accurate, and of course luck, she had been lucky since she was reborn.

Her thoughts were chaotic, and her eyes were a little empty for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she saw Zhang Jie's suddenly enlarged face.

Too close, you can vaguely see the bloodshot in his eyes.

"Are you alright?"

"Are you alright?"

Two voices rang out almost simultaneously.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Xie smiled and shook his head. He just saw her look dazed, thinking that she was still frightened by yesterday's events, so he made a somewhat rude move, and leaned in to take a look, but he didn't expect this action to startle her, but woke her up.

"I'm fine." Qiao Ran touched her neck and smiled bitterly, "Anyway, I'm fine now, nothing at all." ”

As for the fear and fear at that time, it happened in an instant, and I really didn't feel anything at the time.

Zhang Xie nodded and said, "I have something I want to tell you." ”

Qiao Randang even glanced at the red beans on the side.

Hongdou, who was self-taught in some things, immediately pulled Qiao Shu and Tang Zhongyuan out, and closed the door for them intimately.

"Something should be told to you." Zhang Xie looked at Qiao Ran and said.

Qiao Ran nodded: "I think it's time too." ”

It had been a few months since she had been discovered by Zhang Xie that secret, and it was only at this time that she was assassinated for the first time when she came at her, and the previous time when she was taken out of the city by Second Lady Fang did not count. And this time the assassination, she already had a premonition that it had something to do with her secret.

"I didn't pass on your affairs to Chang'an," Zhang Xie said, "The less people know about this matter, the better, so apart from you and me, this matter should only be known to Cheng Ze and He Xiu." ”

Qiao Ran raised her eyes to look at him: "You...... I don't think it's the two of them who did it! ”

As soon as this sentence came out, not only Zhang Jie, but even Qiao Ran herself laughed.

"It should have nothing to do with them." Zhang Xie shook his head, "It's not that I'm biased towards the two of them, but the two of them already know about it." If you want to do it, choose before Ah Sheng comes, and it will be easier for me to get it when I leave Jinling. ”

At that time, there was no one around her except for red beans, so she really had to do it, not to mention that there were five of them like this today, even if there was only one, Qiao Ran would probably not be able to hold on.

"What's more, there is no reason for the two of them to do anything to you." Zhang Xie paused for a moment and slowly spoke, "Your Majesty has been on the throne for thirteen years, and as long as you have one son under your knees, you are now only eight years old. ”

Sure enough, the grievances and hatreds in this world can't escape the words money, power, love, and name in the end.

This matter is related to the word "power", and it is not an ordinary "right", it is the real imperial power.

"In today's Da Chu, the difference between men and women is not big, but sometimes, there is still a difference between men and women, such as heirs," he said, "In the matter of heirs, it is women who suffer a lot, not men. ”

"Your Majesty is newly established, the government is unstable, in order to stabilize the government, Your Majesty forgets to sleep and eat, and worries about state affairs day and night, this stability has been stable for nearly five years. By the time the government was stabilized, His Majesty was already twenty years old. ”

Qiao Ran suddenly said: Twenty years old is still the same age in modern society, but in the era of Da Chu, it is very late, especially the empress is shouldering the heavy responsibility of the country, and the matter of heirs is very important and cannot be missing.

"There are a group of imperial husbands in the palace," Zhang Xie said here, and seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and coughed twice, "Your Majesty has some considerations, so none of these imperial husbands are from the real powerful clan, they are all men from ordinary families." ”

"Soon, Your Majesty will have your first child, that is, Your Highness." Zhang Xie sighed and said, "Your Majesty can be described as a life of nine deaths when he gave birth to His Royal Highness, and it was not easy to give birth. ”

"Although the imperial doctor didn't say anything about this, there are some news that can't be hidden."

"For example, if Your Majesty's heirs are difficult in the future, if there is no accident, Your Highness may be her only heir; For example, His Royal Highness's body has not been very good since he was born," Zhang Xie said and looked at Qiao Ran, "When I was born, it was the Imperial Medical Department and the Yin and Yang Division who worked hard to save their lives, but this life was saved for a while, but it couldn't be saved for a lifetime, and His Highness's health has not been good." ”

Qiao Ran already understood: "So, I can save His Highness?" ”

Zhang Xie was silent for a moment and nodded: "The blood of the medicine man can prolong the life of His Highness, but it is just ...... I'm afraid I can't stop this continuation. ”

In other words, the so-called medicine man will always live for His Highness, which is why he has been hesitant to pass on the book to Chang'an. If she had passed the book to Chang'an early in the morning, she would have been picked up by someone sent by His Majesty to Chang'an.

Because of some experiences of wandering when he was young, he attached great importance to his life, the life of the royal family is life, is the life of ordinary people not life? But these words can't be said, even to Xie Chengze and Xu Hexiu.

"Your Majesty can only have one son, and this one will probably not survive. There will always be a time when this seat will be handed over, and if there is any accident with His Royal Highness, His Majesty's seat will be handed over to the clan sooner or later. ”

"The people in the clan naturally don't want His Highness to live, and the method of making His Highness unable to live is too simple." Zhang Xie looked at Qiao Ran as she spoke, and was surprised to see that the girl raised her eyebrows, obviously she had understood.

"If you don't do anything, Your Highness won't be able to live." Qiao Ran said, "If a medicine man emerges at this time to keep His Highness alive, it will obviously break the dreams of many people, so it will attract His Majesty's wrath compared to doing it to His Highness, so that it is better to lose the possible opportunity to seize the reserve in the future, it is better to do it directly to this medicine man." ”

After all, there are not a few people in the clan, and if you do it directly and anger Your Majesty, you will only cheapen others for nothing.

"I found out that the news that you are a medicine man appeared a few days ago," Zhang Xie looked at her and said, "It is precisely because of this news that the sect invited a ferocious and vicious person like Saibei Feiying to buy your life." ”

Qiao Ran closed her eyes, and her heart was as bright as a mirror: "Borrow a knife to kill." ”

One piece of news is enough to attract many people to come and take her life.

"So," Zhang Xie looked at her and asked, "Do you know who sent the news?" ”
