The first time Li Shenlan woke up, she saw Yin Chen lying on the side of her bed sleeping peacefully.

Because Li Shenlan's legs were numb and aching because she had been asleep for a long time, she didn't dare to move easily when she saw Yin Chen holding her hand.

However, although Li Shenlan tried not to move, Yin Chen, who had been sleeping lightly, still woke up.

"Awake? You're awake! ”

Yin Chen's almost instinctive excitement, even he didn't realize it.

"A ......"

Li Shenlan slept for almost a day and a night, and Yin Chen didn't even go to yesterday's morning court for the sake of him. Hearing Li Shenlan's hoarse voice, Yin Chen hurriedly asked Shuqiu to bring water over.

After two or three cups, Li Shenlan finally felt that she had eased her spirits.

I've slept for so long, but my mind is groggy but I'm constantly dreaming. She couldn't remember exactly what the dream was, but she only vaguely dreamed of Yin Chen...... Yin Chen blocked a knife for himself.

"What's wrong?"

Yin Chen looked at Li Shenlan still there and was stunned, thinking for a while that he had recurred the evil Gu again, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Li Shenlan's eyes.

"I didn't ...... I dreamed, dreamed that someone was chasing me, but I didn't know who it was, and you blocked the knife for me...... It's all blood. ”

Li Shenlan said as she spoke, only feeling like she was half immersed, and she couldn't help but feel empathy again, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"It's just a dream, don't be afraid."

Yin Chen comforted softly, perhaps even he didn't expect that after so many years after that incident, he would still be able to speak softly.

"Where's the kid!"

Suddenly thinking of the child, Li Shenlan put her hand on her lower abdomen in a panic. He raised his waist and abdomen slightly and told himself that everything was fine. Li Shenlan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Yin Chen carefully.

It must be to take care of himself, Yin Chen is still a little dark at the moment, and he is afraid that he has not taken care of his beard all the time, and he already has a thin slag at this time.

"I'm sorry......" Li Shenlan blamed herself.

"It has nothing to do with you, the Shen family has done too many evils, and I have already deposed her and sent her to the cold palace. You can rest assured that no one will hurt you in the future. ”

The two were talking, and Hou Zhong walked in quietly. said that the father and son of the Zhao family were about to arrive in the capital with the prince of Nanban, and the Ministry of Rites sent someone to ask what the arrangements would be in the future.

"The emperor is busy, the concubine is fine."

Yin Chen looked at Li Shenlan and said two more words, and then he got up and was led out of Yongfu Palace by Hou Zhong.

In Changle Palace, the queen has been in a state of insanguinity since she returned to the palace on the night of the fight.

That day, Li Shenlan fell into the devil, but after seeing Yin Chen, she kept muttering his small words. The small characters are just Yin Chen and the queen, and only the two of them understand what it means. But this small word was called out by Li Shenlan, and the queen intuitively felt that she was choked by someone's throat, and she couldn't breathe.

"Niangniang, Lan Zhaoyi is awake."

Outside the door, Xiyan hurriedly walked to the door to report Li Shenlan's situation to the queen.

It's also interesting to say, at the beginning, Xiyan couldn't get used to Li Shenlan in every way, but she didn't think that her master was getting along with her better and better, and she even looked at Li Shenlan a lot more pleasing to the eye.

If it is usual, when the queen hears Li Shenlan's news, she will more or less go to Yongfu Palace to see what kind of girl. But this time, Xiyan only heard a soft hum from the people in the house, and then there was no follow-up.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Camellia on the side asked timidly.

Xiyan glanced at her but didn't answer, but said angrily: "Where can we know Niangniang's thoughts, do your own errands."

Xiyan is the queen's companion, so she naturally knows what she is thinking. Thinking of Li Shenlan's crazy appearance, and looking at the silent master in the room, Xiyan suddenly felt that Li Shenlan was still so annoying.

Besides, in the Heart Cultivation Palace, when Yin Chen arrived, the people from the Ministry of Rites were already waiting there.

Speaking of which, the father and son of the Zhao family should have arrived yesterday, but the Nanban prince on the road did not adapt to the climate of the Central Plains, and occasionally felt cold on the road. In order to take care of him, the trip slowed down a lot.

"Your Majesty, according to the estimated itinerary, the army will be able to reach the gate of the capital at noon tomorrow. The minister asked for a decree, should he treat each other with courtesy and personally go to the city gate to greet the prince of Nanban? ”

"What kind of thing is this talking to my lord? The emperor is a dignified son of heaven, Long Yan is mighty, how can he bow down to greet the prince of a small tribe! ”

The person who said this was Master Wen, who had never been very harmonious with Lord Xiang, and he didn't speak roughly.

"Wenda people's words are wrong, where is the emperor going to pick up the prince of Nanban, and the emperor is going to greet my loyal ministers of Daqi!"

Yes, the Zhao family father and son are still in the team. According to the usual etiquette, Yin Chen was going to greet him, not to mention that this time the father and son of the Zhao family returned from victory.

In the hall, the ministers quarreled inextricably. In the hall, Yin Chen sat there sleepy and had a headache.

"That's it! I came here to listen to your quarrel? ”

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Yin Chencai said again: "The Ministry of Rites still operates according to the usual etiquette, General Zhao is a good general of my Great Qi, and it really doesn't look like I don't go to greet him."

"But the emperor, the Southern Barbarians sent troops to capture Daqi with bad intentions. If General Zhao hadn't won, where would they have obediently withdrawn their troops? I want the minister to say that this time they came to Beijing to say that they are here to detect the reality and insert eyeliner! ”

"Yes, in addition to the prince of the Nanban, there is also a princess who came back this time. I heard that it was the prince's sister, and she was very pampered. But the king of the Southern Barbarians asked a woman to come over, to put it bluntly, it was just to make peace. If it's really a kiss, wouldn't it be an eyeliner in the palace? ”

Yin Chen didn't know about this princess, and as soon as he got the news, he ordered Qin Ye to find out.

It is said that this Nanban princess is delicate and stunning, and her singing voice is crisp like a yellow bird. The king of the Southern Barbarians loves this daughter very much, and he spoils heaven and earth, and he is slow and willful.

"What do you see?"

"Back to the emperor, since they want to be friendly, let's let her be friendly. This Great Qi is not only a man on the emperor, forgive the sin of disrespect to the ministers, and the king has not yet married a wife......"

King Yin Quan, the sixth prince of the first emperor. Back then, he had always been Yin Chen's military advisor, and he helped Yin Chen come up with a lot of ideas about the fight for the throne.

It's just that in the end, he turned to the camp of the eighth child, and after Yin Chen ascended the throne, he was crowned a mediocre king, and cut the most partial land to him. For so many years, the two have not been in touch, and everyone in the court knows that becoming a king is a taboo that cannot be mentioned.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it's impossible. King Cheng was already a person of the eighth prince in the early years, and now the eighth prince is dead, and the emperor is the king. The princess of Nanban and his relatives will be in case of snobbery ......"

The dilemma of pros and cons can be said to be another problem for Yin Chen.

"All down, everything is still going according to the original plan. As for the matter of the Nanban princess, we will discuss it later! ”

Who would have thought that in the end of the discussion, it was Yin Chen who escaped first, and Rao is an old minister who has been a minister for many years, and he unconsciously guessed and figured out when he left the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Outside the palace, in an ordinary restaurant box, the eldest princess sat there and drank tea.

But after a while, the kung fu door was pushed open from the outside, and a man with a hat came in smoothly and naturally sat opposite the eldest princess.

"It's all done?" The man asked.

"Naturally, someone in the DPRK and China will mention it, and everything is being arranged."

The eldest princess watched the man take off his hat and suddenly laughed silently.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just feel like I haven't seen you for a while, and I see that you've lost a lot of weight."

"Don't talk about these useless things. It's not that I said you, colluding with the Southern Barbarians, this matter can be regarded as a crime of treason. ”

The eldest princess shrugged her shoulders indifferently when she heard this, "So what, the crime of beheading the whole house, is it possible that the imperial brother can still kill himself?" ”

The man also chuckled when he heard this, I am afraid that Yin Chen himself would not have imagined that the sister he spoiled with one hand would not only be treason in the end, but also wanted to kill him.

"What did you want to do?"

The man took out a letterhead from his bosom, and the eldest princess opened it to see that it was not a letter, but a jade pendant.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you know this jade pendant?"

The eldest princess naturally knows that it is the stuff of the current Queen Mother, and the lines on it cannot be imitated by anyone.

"Where did you find it?"

"A minion."

"A minion?" The eldest princess didn't understand what the man meant.

"That slave is the person who Empress Xiaode served during her lifetime."

Empress Hyodeok, the biological mother of the eldest princess.

If the eldest princess didn't understand what that person meant at first, it could be said that she suddenly understood at this time.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, just remember our goals."

After the man finished speaking, he got up and left the box, leaving the eldest princess sitting there looking at the jade pendant, with a moment of change in her eyes.

In the palace, Li Shenlan unexpectedly received a letter from the captain.

The tone in the letter actually made Li Shenlan feel that Li Yunshan seemed to be ten years old.

It's no wonder that he heard the eldest princess say that she sent Li Mingyue's severed hand to the Taiwei Mansion. Taiwei has lost a daughter, and now his only daughter is dead, so he is naturally physically and mentally exhausted.

However, either say the old fox the old fox. Even though Taiwei lost two daughters in a row, the letter sent at this time still asked Li Shenlan to help inquire about the cause of Li Mingjin's death.

Bang Chun came over in the morning and said that the secret guard hadn't noticed anything unusual. This is also expected by Li Shenlan, after all, people like the eldest princess have always done things cleanly, and they will never leave a little handle on people.

"Old fox, he said that he would bury my father and mother well, but in the end, it wasn't that he took care of it badly!"

"Niangniang, the master killed the people guarding the house two days ago."

Harvest Autumn also listened to what Bang Chun said, and even if Li Shenlan did this, it was not easy for Li Shenlan to say anything.

Thinking of what Yin Chen said to himself that day, Li Mingjin had an accident because of that Jieyu. Now that I think it's just a harem battle, Li Shenlan wrote a letter.

Li Shenlan's letter unexpectedly fell on Yin Chen, and Yin Chen looked at the confidence that was not what it was like.

He thought that Li Shenlan would tell the Taiwei about Jieyu, and he had arranged everything early in the morning. It's just that when Li Shenlan really sent the letter, Yin Chen's heart was uncomfortable for some reason.

"Your Majesty...... Is this letter going to be sent? ”

Yin Chen looked at the letter and pondered for a moment, then slowly closed his eyes, and then opened his eyes with resoluteness.

"Leave it as it is, send it to the Taiwei Mansion."

Li Shenlan, since you can't break the relationship with the Taiwei Mansion no matter what, then it can only be like this!

Early in the morning of the second day, Yin Chen went to Yongfu Palace after leaving the court.

According to the original arrangement, Yin Chen wanted to take the queen to the gate of the capital to greet the Zhao family father and son. Because Concubine Xiang is the daughter of the Zhao family, she naturally has this honor to go with her.

But Li Shenlan didn't expect Yin Chen to let him go with him, which was unreasonable.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not good for the concubines to go......"

"It's okay, I think I'm waiting for you to go outside the palace to relax. Speaking of which, you have been suffocated in the palace since you were pregnant, and you are also suffocated when you think about it. ”

Thinking about herself, Li Shenlan's heart was inexplicably sweet. Moreover, thinking of his friendship with Queen Xiangfei, he should go down and change his clothes.

City gates.

Yin Chen pulled Li Shenlan to walk around, the people of Daqi were simple and simple, and Yin Chen, the emperor, did a good job. Even though the people in the surrounding shops knew that this was the emperor's mother, they still greeted each other with a smile as if they were just ordinary guests.

"Isn't this pretty?"

Li Shenlan looked over when she heard the sound, and saw that it was a glass earring, and it was indeed rare to see the novelty of the manufacturing method.

Seeing Li Shenlan's happy face, Yin Chen immediately bought it and personally wore it on her bun, because the proprietress was envious.

"What is this called, the emperor went out of the palace but pulled the concubine to play and left the mother aside......"

Xiyan looked at the scene in the shop and was unhappy, so he didn't talk about the door.

"Don't talk nonsense, Shen Lan has this pregnant body, the emperor should take care of it more, and besides, the emperor is pulling her, is it possible that she can still resist the decree?"

Concubine Xiang heard the queen say this, and she didn't know that she thought that the queen was really virtuous and generous. However, only she knew in her heart that Siwan at this time was afraid and heartbroken, but she didn't dare to express it.
