In the end, the man said mysteriously: "The real reason is that the prince also likes Princess Mingzhu." Waiting for Princess Mingzhu to have a child with him, he doesn't want other lives. ”

Such royal secrets are the most popular among people.

Yan Shaoxun originally thought that this rumor would soon sweep the entire capital. But what Yan Shaoxun didn't expect was that no matter how many people he sent and how many rumors he put out, it didn't spread.

This is a feudal dynasty, everyone is afraid of imperial power, but it is not Yan Shaoxun's later generation, advocating equality for all.

Ordinary people, after hearing this rumor, they all stop in their ears and hide it in their hearts, who dares to spread it everywhere? If it is found out, it will be death, and it will implicate the family.

Besides, whether it is Empress Dowager Zhong or Emperor Hong Zheng, including the Zhong family and the Gu family, who have been watching this matter, they must put an end to the prevalence of such rumors.

Empress Dowager Zhong looked at Zhang Dandan, whose eyes were slightly red and crying, and frowned: "In a few days, it will be Mingzhu's wedding." The crown princess cried so sadly in the Cining Palace of the mourning family, is she looking for bad luck? ”

"Don't dare to concubine!"

Zhang Dandan just said and spoke, thinking of the suffering of the past two years, feeling wronged, and couldn't help crying.

"If it's okay, you can go back, this matter is not an ordinary trick to compete for favor in the back house of the East Palace. As for the inheritance of the emperor's heir, the emperor will personally ask about it. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong looked at Zhang Dandan with a little pity, with her temperament, she couldn't bear the heavy responsibility of being the mother of a country.

Even the girl in the Yu family saw the flaws in it, and found the reason. She, the crown princess, was kept in the dark.

Such a temperament, in this cannibalistic harem, can only be a stepping stone for others, she can't protect herself, let alone her children in the future.

Zhang Dandan said gratefully: "Thank you Queen Mother, the concubine has been trembling for the past two years, lest she lose the position of the crown princess." Now as long as the traitor villain is caught, the innocence of the concubine can be restored. ”

Seeing that the crown princess was so stupid, Empress Dowager Zhong didn't have the heart to mention it.

"Alright, you stand down. The emperor will give you the East Palace, a fair one. ”

The princess did not hide the matter of entering the palace, and soon Mingzhu also knew. After thinking about it, he put down the embroidered red hijab in his hand and came to find Empress Dowager Zhong.

"Grandmother, what's going on? It is impossible for Imperial Doctor Zhou to be bought by Yan Shaoxun, and Mama Yang, she is the old man next to the first queen. In the East Palace, even the crown princess has to give her a few thin noodles, why did she do this thing of the three clans? ”

Empress Dowager Zhong is very relieved that her pearl is not a stupid person like the crown princess.

It's just that Mingzhu can't interfere in this matter.

Empress Dowager Zhong smiled: "This person knows the face but doesn't know the heart, anyway, he has a reason for everything." Mingzhu, you will be the same in the future, no matter what news you encounter or what rumors you hear, you must first weigh the truth in your heart. ”

Gu Fanghua was a little puzzled, and when she wanted to ask again, Empress Dowager Zhong had already changed the topic and said, "Have you already tried the wedding dress?" Is there anything that needs to be changed? ”

"The waist is a little tight, and nothing else needs to be modified. It's just that my red hijab hasn't been embroidered yet, and it should be fine in two or three days. ”

Speaking of the wedding dress, Gu Fanghua's eyes couldn't help but flash with joy, it was so beautiful.

"From the moment you land. It's the mourning family holding you, and now that you've grown up, you're going to get married and have children soon. Fortunately, Xiao Yao has no parents and no brothers and sisters, so it's good for you, you can be the master of the house when you marry. It also makes the mourning family less worried, and they are not afraid of the difficulties in the relationship between your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. ”

Recently, Empress Dowager Zhong often misses the past. She knew that soon after the wedding, Mingzhu was going to go to Yumen Pass with Xiao Yao, and she was very reluctant.

This farewell, I don't know if I can see each other again in my lifetime?

Gu Fanghua thought that her grandmother had agreed to stay, so she didn't have any reluctance. It's just a little shy, and there's a vision for the future life.

"Grandmother, don't worry, when Xiao Yao returns to Yumen Pass, I will move back to the palace, or with you."

Empress Dowager Zhong touched Gu Fanghua's little face and said softly: "I heard your father talk about Yumen Pass, which is now built well, and the general's mansion is also big. Although it is not as convenient as the capital, it has everything it should have. ”

"Yes, grandmother. I don't even live for a year, I used to live for two or three months, and you don't have to worry that I'm not used to it. ”

Gu Fanghua's mind was on the upcoming wedding, so she didn't see it, Empress Dowager Zhong looked conflicted, and she stopped talking.

"The people at the border are simple, the temperament is neat, and the heart is broad-minded. When you go to Yumen Pass in the future, you will fall in love with it. ”

Gu Fanghua snuggled up to the Empress Dowager Zhong and chuckled: "No matter how good he is, in my opinion, the place where my grandmother is there is the best." ”

The two ancestors and grandsons leaned together warmly, and no one knew that at this time, a battle of life and death was being staged in Yumen Pass.

At the beginning of November at the border gate, it is already the season of dripping water into ice. The white-haired wind on the prairie is rolling. Not only is it cold and biting, but it's like cutting your face with a knife.

The soldiers who stand on patrol on the castle tower usually change every three hours, but in such a season, they can only change every hour.

Because standing on the high tower, if the north wind blows for a day, it can freeze people into ice sculptures.

The soldiers on patrol change every hour, and after the change, they have to drink some strong liquor immediately, and then go to the room on duty and roast for a while to warm up.

No one expected that the Liao would suddenly send a cavalry of 5,000 people. The horse's body was wrapped in a thin quilt, and the horse's hooves were wrapped in cotton cloth, and they raided the Yumen Pass.

The soldiers on patrol are still walking mechanically on the city tower. With such a strong wind and big snowflakes, no one felt that it was necessary to lean out to see the white outside of the city.

I don't know who it is, a few ropes hung down on the edge of the city tower, the Liao people climbed up along the ropes, and the patrolling Yumen Pass soldiers saw someone appear out of thin air, and thought it was a ghost.

When the hot blood was sprinkled on the city wall, someone found out that the Liao people were attacking the city.

In an instant, the city tower was in chaos, and I didn't know whether it was the Liao people who climbed up, or the fine work in the city, so they took advantage of the chaos to open the city gate, and the cavalry of the Liao people rushed in.

Since the construction of Yumen Pass, the city gate has not been opened from the inside. So Zhang Huai was drinking in the camp, and when he heard the emergency report, he thought it was a joke.

"How is this possible?"

"General, it's true, the cavalry has rushed into the pass and is killing people everywhere and setting fires, you hurry up and meet the battle!"

Zhang Huai's half-drunk head suddenly sobered up and shouted: "Come on, hurry, face the battle!" Everyone, kill me! ”

At this time, the Liao cavalry has rushed into the pass, killing every person, robbing the shops when they see them, and the originally peaceful Yumen Pass is already a hell on earth.
