The emperor had a stroke, and the queen mother personally served him, but it was only one night, and the emperor's condition was even more serious, and he died near dawn.

The emperor died, the country could not be without a monarch for a day, and the crown prince justifiably ascended the throne.

Now, the court can be described as internal and external troubles, the people in the capital are panicking, and there are still large soldiers on the border, and there is no one available after Yang Tinghan dies.

Logically speaking, the first thing the crown prince did when he took office was that the war should be quelled, but no one expected that after the prince took office, he would send several princes to fight.

What's even more terrifying is that several princes are completely bare-bones commanders, and they didn't send troops or food.

As the so-called three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first, as long as they are individuals, they know the importance of grain and grass, and they know very well in their hearts that there is no second person in this capital except Chen Xi who can take out grain and grass.

Chen Xiren sat at home, disaster came from the sky, since he knew the news of Yang Tinghan's death that day, on the surface, he seemed to be waiting for Yang Tinghan's body, but in fact, he was secretly planning.

originally thought that as long as they stayed honestly in their own yard, they would be safe, but they didn't expect several princesses to come to the door in person.

The emperor had just died, and everyone was dressed in white, and the princesses were also dressed very plainly, and there was only a little decoration on their foreheads.

Several princesses drove in person, and Chen Xi had nowhere to hide even if he wanted to, so he had no choice but to pick up the car.

But when he learned of the intentions of the few, Chen Xi's eyes widened in surprise, and then he knelt on the ground with a pounce and pleaded guilty, "Please also ask the princesses to forgive their sins, although the courtiers have some silver in their hands, but those silver are also to support me and the children!" ”

Chen Xi tried his best to explain, but it was a pity that those rude and willful princesses didn't buy it at all, and finally used threats.

As a widow, Chen Xi is like a rootless duckweed in the capital alone, and anyone who comes can step on it.

Therefore, the princesses were also unceremonious when they spoke, one by one, they were obviously sprinkling salt on Chen Xi's wounds, and they also had to take Chen Xi's silver strongly.

It's really shameless, what is the difference between this behavior and robbers?

But Chen Xi didn't know the specific situation of Yang Tinghan now, and he had no choice but to do a small job, and finally gritted his teeth and took out a full 100,000 taels of silver before sending a few princesses away.

In the empty courtyard, Chen Xi cried silently, and Mama Chen and Mama Liu were distressed, but what should have been said had been said many times, and Chen Xi still couldn't stop crying.

"These individuals are really too bullying, otherwise let's go to the Queen Mother...... The Empress Dowager! ”

The emperor died, and now the dynasty has changed in the harem, but no one can shake the status of the queen mother, and now the queen mother has become the queen mother.

In this capital, if anyone would really make decisions for Chen Xi, it could only be the old man.

However, Chen Xi shook his head at this time, "Don't go and make trouble for his old man, the current queen mother is not a good one to provoke!" Going to the palace will only cause trouble for his old man! ”

Although Chen Xi stayed in the courtyard every day and did not come out, he was very well informed.

Whether it is in the capital or in the palace, it can't hide from Chen Xi's ears.

Now in the palace, because the crown prince ascended the throne, the original queen has become the queen mother, and at this time she is completely dominant in the palace, and she does not take the queen mother in her eyes at all.

As for the crown prince, he didn't take the country to heart, but was busy fighting for power and profit, wanting to eliminate dissidents.

Ay! Yang Tinghan, where are you, I am pregnant with your child in my belly now, if you can't come back, I will definitely cut you with a thousand knives.

As night fell, Chen Xi welcomed a special guest.

"Yang An, you are getting bolder and bolder now, shouldn't you be on an errand in the palace?"

"Sister-in-law, I can't help it, if I don't come out to report to you, I'm worried about ......" Yang An was halfway through his words to make sure that there would be no ears on the wall, so he re-said the news of the investigation in the palace.

Chen Xi's eyes widened and he covered his mouth with his hand, "You said that several princes are going to rebel?" ”

Yang An nodded heavily, "People die for money, birds die for food, after the prince ascends the throne, if he can treat several princes well, things may not be so bad, but you have also seen it!" ”

Yes!

Yang Tinghan had already died on the battlefield, but the emperor let a few princes who had no force value go to war, obviously letting them die.

Rather than die in vain, it is better to fight hard.

Thinking that there was another bloody storm in the palace, Chen Xi didn't care, but thought of the frontier, "Why is there no news at all?" ”

"Sister-in-law, the capital is too far away from the frontier, even if there is any news, it is impossible to pass it in time, I plan to leave tonight overnight......"

Yang An cautiously handed over a token to Chen Xi as he spoke, "In the capital, there is a danger now, and I am not sure what it will become, this is the soldier talisman of the dark guard......"

Looking at the little token, Chen Xi's eyes were moist, "You, don't worry, it's quite touching for the stinky little son to take the car, don't worry, your cousin will definitely be fine, so you just stay in the capital and watch the palace!" ”

"You must know that your cousin is now coming and going in the wind and rain, defending his family and country, but think about it, what if he returns from victory, only to find that the court is already in turmoil?"

Yes! Yang Tinghan tried his best to protect his family and defend the country, and finally came back to find that the court was already in a mess, and he might do something in a fit of anger.

Yang An was finally persuaded by Chen Xi not to go to the frontier, but chose to continue to stay in the palace, even if he did not want to protect the emperor, he had to get first-hand information.

Another half a month has passed, and Chen Xi manages the restaurant every day like a nobody, and then stays in the yard to raise the baby with peace of mind.

Of course, Chen Xi is alive and well, and the child is fine, which makes many people feel extremely disappointed.

And when night fell again, it should have been a very peaceful night, but Chen Xi had already felt a thick sense of extraordinary, as if something big would happen in this night.

Sure enough, just after arriving late at night, when everyone was sleeping soundly, the sound of hand-to-hand combat suddenly sounded outside, and countless sky-high fires were also ignited in the capital.

Chen Xi woke up from his dream, looked at the fire outside and reflected the sky, startled, quickly walked outside the courtyard, and looked at the direction where the fire was the most.
