He raised his head and looked at the prince who made the move with a stunned expression, but he didn't dare to complain, so he could only say, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Don't worry, I will take good care of your brother!" The corners of the prince's mouth rose with a hint of charity, and then shouted outside, "Come on, this is a spy who pulled it out and buried it!" ”

It's just a little eunuch, so naturally no one will care too much, after all, every month there will be a few assassins in the prince's mansion to sneak in.

This matter was disposed of silently, without any waves.

The other princes all sneered when they got the news.

As for the hypocrisy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, several of their brothers have already seen it, and on the surface they seem to be a generous brother, but they are not soft at all behind their backs.

They have been in the race for the throne since they became adults, and they have all suffered some losses to a greater or lesser extent.

The struggle for imperial power intensified, almost a life-and-death struggle.

And Yang Tinghan and Chen Xi, who were thousands of miles away, were lying on the bed, also analyzing the situation in the imperial court.

"After this matter is dealt with, we will definitely return to the capital, you say we are ......"

"I know what you're worried about, your parents are not separated, as long as my father and mother are alive, we must live in that big mansion, although surrounded by tigers and wolves, I will protect you!"

"Do you think I'm a piece of waste?" Chen Xi rolled his eyes dissatisfied, and then got down to business, "How much do you know about the affairs of the imperial court, the future heir to the throne is very important!" ”

"On the surface, the prince seems to be the most suitable, but the spies I sent in the past have a completely different conclusion, because the prince's virtuous and virtuous are too fake, and he always seems to be wearing a mask......"

Now the emperor is old, and because he has indulged in pleasure all his life, there are many princes and princesses who were born.

But now there are four princes who have a fight for the throne in the court, in addition to the crown prince, namely the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince.

Of course, some people will wonder why several princes are connected to each other, and the other princes have no chance at all.

That's right, although the other princes are also the emperor's biological sons, but because the biological mother is not too low, there is no chance to fight at all, so it is better to be a prince honestly.

As for the other four princes who are vying for power, they are all from noble backgrounds, and they all have the support of their mothers, so their strength will definitely not be worse than that of the prince.

But people's hearts are separated from each other, and according to the current situation, several princes do not seem to have the strength to convince them of being the crown prince.

"Hey! If this fight continues, the country will not be a country! Chen Xi sighed leisurely, "After returning to the capital, I'm afraid someone will woo you, and then we will have to brighten our eyes!" ”

"You're thinking too much, are you sure we're going to win?"

"That's a must, my husband is such a wise and martial general here, he will definitely catch the other party off guard and fall into the water, by the way, is there still no news at all in the morning?"

Yang Tinghan shook his head.

The two men fell silent again.

After all, it belongs to the enemy now, and it is too hidden to hide, if it can't be found out in time, I'm afraid it will soon enter the pressure realm, but Yang Tinghan's side is not prepared at all, so he must gain time to deal with the enemy hiding in the shadows first, and then have a chance.

Chen Xi suddenly got up from the bed, "Hasn't the old man come back yet?" ”

"I don't know!" Yang Tinghan shook his head weakly.

Chen Xi suddenly changed his clothes, and then swore and said, "I suddenly thought of a way, but I don't know if it can be used, you wait first!" You're honestly waiting at home! ”

Chen Xi quickly packed up his things and planned to go to Fucheng, Yang Tinghan wanted to stop him, I also knew that even if the surroundings were chaotic now, Fucheng was still safe, so he sent Han Er to escort Chen Xi over.

It's just that what I didn't expect was stopped as soon as I walked to the county seat.

"What do you say? Now that the gate has been closed on the Fucheng side, not allowing you to enter or exit? ”

"Yes, ma'am!" When Hanji answered the question, his voice was cold and obvious, with forbearance.

Now that the war is imminent, the officials on the side of the city do not say that they want to help, but they actually sweep the snow in front of the door, close the city gate, and do not let them enter or exit.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi hated it, "How can these bastards be like this?" ”

If there is a real war, many refugees will choose to flee to the city for their lives, but now that the doors are closed, how can they escape?

Although she was sitting in the carriage, she could still feel the very tense atmosphere around her, and it seemed that it was not only the people in the village who were anxious and worried, but also the people in the county town.

But now Fucheng can't go, Chen Xi thought about it carefully, and first went to Taoyuan Pavilion.

The shopkeeper of Tianxianglou was still as enthusiastic as ever when he saw Chen Xi, "You are finally here, look at the business here that is doing very well now?" ”

The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings ** flowers across the river.

Now that the situation on the border is tense and war is imminent, I didn't expect that business in other places is getting more and more money, and it seems that many people don't pay attention to this place at all.

She held the ledger in her hand, crying and laughing, "I really don't know whether to be happy or sad!" ”

As the so-called rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, Chen Xi believes that the situation here is so tense that it has long been rumored to be boiling, but other places are still singing and dancing, and it is peaceful.

After carefully flipping through the account book over and over again, and finding that the business was indeed very good, Chen Xi thought about it and wrote a few more recipes, "Send these to other stores quickly, earn more money, it is estimated that we will soon be stretched!" ”

Whether it is recruiting troops or raising people, you need a large sum of silver.

The shopkeeper of Tianxianglou already knew the news of Yang Tinghan and Chen Xi's cooperation with his master, and of course he would do his best.

It's just that he suddenly thought about it, and said affectionately and solemnly, "Madam, I know that you are a person with great ability, my master has a hard life, and it is his blessing to know you, I am afraid that news will come from the capital soon, let the young master go back!" ”

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper was filled with righteous indignation.

thought that after his master and Chen Xi left, the ungrateful man immediately married a beautiful lady and went back.

Over the years, the little master has been walking on thin ice in that family, trembling, and now he finally has the opportunity to make a contribution, but he didn't expect to think of a crooked idea over there.

If the imperial court wants to fight, the noble family is going to be out, and it is obvious that the intention over there is to push out their own young master.
