"Although Kobdo is the domain of my big bird country, the tribes there are extremely fierce, you two go alone, I'm afraid there will be no return!"

The thirteenth princess smiled playfully.

"Then the princess will bring a hundred guards over, and whoever dares to disobey will cut off his head!"

"How is a hundred enough, at least two thousand."

The thirteenth princess found out that she was being ridiculed by the fourth brother, and she couldn't help waving her fists in anger.

"Then you give me all the troops in Youzhou!"

"It's all for you, can you bring it?"

"Look down on me, hum, you'll regret it sooner or later!"

Zhaoju's heart moved, could it be that there are only two thousand soldiers in Youzhou City at this moment?

While talking, the group came to a large compound.

Ye Lejin said: "Master Horse, this is a temporary post house, you can rest here first, and then notify you when the itinerary is arranged." ”

Zhaoju couldn't help but ask, "Your Royal Highness, how long are we going to stay here?" ”

Ye Lejincha spread his hands.

"Well, I'm not sure."

Mrs. Gao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he stopped, his old life could still be saved.

Zhao Ju thought that as long as he stayed in Youzhou City, he would have a chance, maybe he could secretly open the city gate at night and let General Xin and them in.

The thirteenth princess took the lead to go inside, but Ye Le Jincha grabbed her.

"Crazy girl, you haven't had a wedding yet, you can't live together!"

The thirteenth princess is a girl after all, and she is ashamed to hear this.

"Brother, brother, what nonsense are you talking about, who said that I want to live with him, I'm just taking someone to help Master Ma clean up the inn, can't you?"

"Of course not, you are a princess, not a slave who serves people!"

The thirteen princesses were stopped, they couldn't enter the pavilion, and they were so anxious that they stomped their feet, but Zhaoju was relieved, the thirteen princesses had been pestering themselves and didn't know how to get rid of them.

"Brother Poma, according to the customs of your Dawei people, tonight is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I will accompany you to drink and celebrate in the evening, okay?"

Zhao Ju nodded wryly.

The thirteenth princess grinned and said, "Okay, that's it!" ”

Mrs. Gao was suspicious.

"We're here with the pro-mission, isn't there a banquet tonight?"

Entering the pavilion, it is a large courtyard, on the left side of the courtyard is a row of stables, in front of the stables there are tethered horse stakes and water troughs, emitting a stench, there is a well in the middle of the courtyard, and the stables are connected with the three rooms on the right.

Everyone's first feeling is that this pavilion is very simple, and the guest rooms and stables are actually connected together.

When everyone walked over, they were all stunned.

On the far right was a large room, with a carpet on the floor, but it was very dirty, and it smelled sour, and there was not even a table or chair in the room.

The big room is next door, except for a clay kang, there is not even carpet furniture, like a cage for prisoners.

The room attached to the stables was even worse, and if the first two rooms were miserable, this one was miserable, with leaks and thatch on the floor, like dry fodder for the horses.

One of the guards said hatefully: "The Great Bird Country is not sincere to us at all. ”

Taiwei Gao was very angry, with his status, the Great Bird Country did not send a minister of equal status to greet him, not only that, but the place where he lived was arranged so simply, which was obviously insincere.

Xianyu Zhenren smiled.

"If it comes, then it will be safe, let's see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the big bird country."

Zhao Ju thought in his heart: "The biggest guard in Youzhou City is the fourth prince Ye Le Jincha, and it is almost impossible to persuade him to surrender, because he is the son of Ye Le Yanxi, and Ye Le Yan Xi is the great khan of the Great Bird Country, but who else can be suitable?" He looked up at the sky and saw a dark cloud slowly pressing down on the horizon.

The wind is cold.

Thousands of miles away, Windy City.

The inner city of the Imperial Palace, Ciming Tower.

A group of monks sat cross-legged on a wooden platform that had just been built, their brows lowered and their prayers recited, their clothes slightly thin, but their expressions were extremely solemn.

These people are the Xiangguo Temple monks invited by the Queen Mother, and they are doing things for the emperor.

Upstairs in Ciming, the Queen Mother Liu A sat on the windowsill with a Buddhist scripture and lowered her eyebrows and recited the scriptures, and there was a palace woman kneeling behind her, which was the queen Sikong Wenlan.

The queen looked resentful, as if she had been greatly wronged.

A stick of incense is exhausted.

The Queen Mother's eyes widened slightly, and she shouted, "Smoke." ”

The queen hurriedly got up.

"Mother, what do you command?"

The Queen Mother snorted, ignored the queen, and shouted again.

Hanyan answered outside and pushed the door in.

"Help me up—"

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Hanyan walked over to help the Queen Mother, her face was very ugly.

The queen was so frightened that she knelt down again.

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "You don't have to follow the mourning family, the mourning family will not forgive you for the mistake you made this time!" ”

The queen was a little panicked.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, how do you punish your concubines, the concubines accept it, I just ask you not to be angry with your body."

The Queen Mother smiled contemptuously in her nose.

"Lan'er, you have seen through this set of mourning now, I summoned your father, Lin Chengyong and Prince Dongping into the palace this afternoon, and discussed the choice of the prince to supervise the country, and the king of Qi assisted."

The queen was taken aback.

"Queen Mother, the crown prince is still in the lockdown period, is it appropriate to let him supervise the country alone?"

"These days, the mourning family is unwell, and the affairs of the palace are left to you to deal with, look at what you have done!"

"Yes, yes, the concubine is guilty, please punish the queen mother."

"Oh, then how do you think the mourners should punish you?"

"The queen mother wants to be beaten and punished, and the concubine will admit everything."

"Okay, the mourning family has abolished you, can you accept it?"

The queen's face turned pale, she didn't expect the queen mother to say such heavy words.

"Yes, yes, the concubine deserves to die, the concubine does not take good care of the emperor, and the crime deserves death!"

The queen promised in her mouth, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she thought that the more the queen mother scolded herself, the more she could forgive her.

But the Queen Mother suddenly changed her words.

"Do you know what the mourning family can't tolerate you the most?"

"Yes, it was an inappropriate treatment for the emperor."

"Hmph, it seems that you still want to fool the mourning family, as soon as you take power, you will target the crown prince and the king of Qi, ostensibly to help them supervise the country, but secretly jump up and fight with them, what other means did you secretly use before, tell me yourself!"

The queen was terrified.

"Mother, this, where does this begin?"

"Tell you, Zongzheng Mansion has already found out the causes and consequences of Chen Jieyu and Chu Meiren's lawsuit against the prince, this matter is the mourning family to help you press, I hope you can restrain you from the precipice, but you have intensified and become more and more presumptuous!"

"Chen Jieyu and Chu Meiren, Queen Mother, are you saying that I instructed them to sue the prince?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not, the concubines don't know how Zongzheng Mansion can have such a conclusion, if there is, the concubines are willing to confront them face to face!"

"Of course you don't have to come forward in person, you just need to pass the news to their palace maids!"

"Queen Mother, you can't wronged your concubines, if you say this, the concubines can't argue!"

The Queen Mother smiled coldly.

"You don't have any flaws in what you do?"

"What flaws, please make it clear to the Queen Mother?"

"Okay, it seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, the mourning family told you what you did, your personal eunuch Wang Chou had reported to the mourning family two days ago!"

The queen was taken aback.

"What, Wang Chou?"

"Yes, he betrayed you, and you haven't realized it, have you?"

"Then, why did the Queen Mother order him to be beaten to death yesterday?"

"Hmph, the traitor who seeks glory can betray you today, and he can also betray the mourning family tomorrow, so it is not a pity for this kind of person to mourn and kill the family!"

Hanyan stood and shivered, she had heard too many things on the side today that she shouldn't have heard.

"Wang Chou said, you arranged for the crown prince and the king of Qi to supervise the country, just to find an excuse to bring down both of them, because you are worried that the crown prince or the king of Qi will take the throne, and the status of Concubine Shu and Concubine Yuan will surpass you, and you arrange eyeliner everywhere, even your father doesn't know about these things, he has always thought that you are an obedient and well-behaved daughter!"

"No, no."

"I don't know if you also arranged eyeliner around the mourning family?"

When the Queen Mother said this, her eyes looked sharply at Han Yan.

Hanyan hurriedly lowered his head.

The queen knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"The concubine is confused, the concubine should die, Lan'er just wants to protect herself, and she will never dare to put eyeliner next to the queen mother."

"Hmph, forgive me for not daring!"
