When Concubine Hu came, her spirit was obviously much better than yesterday, and her originally stunned eyes had a look of brilliance and a faint sense of expectation.

"The slave has seen the prince." Concubine Hu knelt respectfully and saluted.

"Want to get out?" Xuanyuan Hao glanced at her indifferently, and continued to bow his head to deal with the official document.

Concubine Hu raised her head excitedly for a while, and her speech was a little trembling, "What does the prince mean?" ”

Xuanyuan Hao's tone was cold, "Can't you understand people?" ”

"Yes!" Concubine Hu hurriedly replied, tears burst into tears with excitement, "The slave maid dreams of it!" ”

"The king can give you a little money to let you out, but you have to promise that you can't do evil after you go out, and you have to live your duty, you know?"

Xuanyuan Hao stopped the pen in his hand, and looked at her with a plain but majestic look.

He didn't have a sudden kind attack, but the matter of Concubine He told him that if there was one more woman in this mansion, it would probably be one more thing.

If you can let one go, let one more go, so that his ears can be clean and pure!

"The slave promises that she will never do evil." Concubine Hu hurriedly replied.

Then, she kowtowed heavily on the ground, "Thank you for your love, the slave and maid will definitely be rewarded for being a cow and a horse in the next life." ”

Yuan Hao's tone was light: "You don't have to be a cow or a horse, just listen to me, don't be evil." ”

"Slaves and maids will not." Concubine Hu snorted, although she choked, she spit out clearly.

Lines of tears had already slipped down her sallow face, and Concubine Hu's excited voice trembled a little.

These days, the days spent in that dilapidated small courtyard have made her deeply feel that life is worse than death.

What I swallow hard every day is leftovers, and at night because the quilt is tattered and I often get chilled and can't sleep.

Usually all you can see is the boxy low wall, and you live a life of murmuring with the dead trees.

She didn't want to live such a day!

Thinking of this, she kowtowed heavily, her fragile frontal bone collided against the hard floor, and her forehead was instantly stained with blood.

"The slave and maid have thanked the prince for his great kindness."

When Shen Ruoxiao came, she saw this blood-drenched scene, and she "hissed" softly, with three points of pity in her eyes.

"Alright, let's go." Xuanyuan Hao didn't have any mood swings because of her actions, and commanded coldly.

Concubine Hu got up, saluted again, and ran out in a hurry.

Obviously she was already skinny, but her running speed did not decrease because of this, she ran too fast, and she didn't look at the road much, so she didn't notice Shen Ruoxiao not far away.

Shen Ruoxiao's eyes were a little complicated, looking at her back as she left in a hurry, she couldn't help frowning.

This woman has indeed done some bad things, but she has not endangered the lives of others, as long as she can change her past mistakes, what can she not forgive?

After thinking about it, she didn't go to look for Xuanyuan Hao inside, but turned around and returned to her courtyard.

As soon as she got back to her room, she rushed to the closet and threw her head in.

"Shui Su, hurry up and prepare a little dry food, and then prepare a dozen taels of silver, as well as a few sets of clean and simple clothes."

"What does the young lady want to do with this?" Shui Su looked puzzled.

"It's too late to say more, you should hurry up and get ready to go!"

"Okay."

After a while, Shui Su was quickly ready, packed a white flower burden with a blue background, and handed it to Shen Ruoxiao.

"Miss, you're ready for what you said."

"Okay, take it and take it with me to Qingqiu Courtyard." As she spoke, she lifted the hem of her skirt and walked towards Qingqiu Courtyard.

In the Qingqiu courtyard, Concubine Hu was hurriedly packing up some things, looking very excited, and her hands picking out clothes were trembling.

"I've got something for you, take it home yourself." Shen Ruoxiao looked at the busy figures inside, and his tone was gentle.

Concubine Hu heard someone's voice, turned her head, and when she saw that it was her, she hurriedly lowered her body and prepared to salute.

Shen Ruoxiao quickly walked to her side and held her body, "These false courtesies will be waived, after you go out, you must be a good person, from now on, we have nothing to do with each other." ”

Shen Ruoxiao said as she put the burden in her hand into her arms, "You can bring these soft ones, no matter how you say it, they are also from the palace, and you will cherish them in the future!" ”

Tears flowed from the corners of Concubine Hu's eyes, she hurriedly raised her hand and wiped it, but it seemed that she was wiping more and more, and she didn't wipe it clean.

It wasn't until her eyes were red and swollen that she said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you for your love." ”3800

"Remember, be a good man." Shen Ruoxiao glanced at her deeply, dropped such a sentence, and turned to leave, his back was very straight, like a vigorous pine bamboo.

Concubine Hu hugged the burden tightly, and looked gratefully at her back as she gradually moved away, until her back disappeared into a dot.

……

"Report, lord, it's not good, there is a major mess at the border, and the emperor urgently announces your entry into the palace." The sound of fire and fire reached Xuanyuan Hao's ears from far and near.

He threw the pen aside in his hand, stood up, and walked out with a solemn expression.

All the way, I came to the palace, and when I walked into the emperor's Xuanzheng Palace, there were already many ministers standing together and discussing.

He frowned, found the ministers who were good with him, and in a short time, the mainstay of the court had arrived.

At this time, the emperor was also supported, and he sat above with a pale face, his face full of gloom.

The emperor rubbed his eyes, and there was a thick anxiety between his eyebrows.

"Don't salute, why did you come because you should all know that Gu Aguo is too deceitful, can the secretaries have a countermeasure? Who wants to be the first to be stationed at the border? ”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Hao and Xuanyuan Qi stood up together, "Erchen is willing to lead the troops there."

The two spoke almost at the same time, and the emperor looked at the two of them and was slightly stunned.

"Let's talk about what you think."

Xuanyuan bowed and raised his hand, raised the wat card and stepped forward, "Father, the sons feel that they can negotiate with them." ”

"Negotiations?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, very curious, and leaned forward for half a minute, "Tell me what kind of negotiation method is specific?" ”

Xuanyuan Qi smiled lightly, revealing a shallow smile with confidence, "Gu Aguo is just a nomadic people, the land is barren, lack of food and clothing, we can give them some benefits, cede some cities with fertile land, and send them a few hundred catties of rice, I believe they will not do it again." ”

The ministers who were good friends with him also stood up one after another, and Li Daren of Shangshu Province said: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is reasonable, my country has been lacking in military strength in recent years, and if there is a war, it will cost the people and money, and increase the troubles of the border people. ”

Master Gu of Menxia Province also said: "What Master Li said is extremely true, the people are most afraid of war, and the policy of Huairou is the best policy. ”

Several ministers were all amazed, and in an instant, there was a cry in the hall, and Xuanyuan Qi couldn't help but become more and more proud.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Hao's brows furrowed deeper and deeper with their words, and there was a cold aura around him.

Seeing Xuanyuan Hao's face change suddenly, Xuanyuan Qi glanced at Xuanyuan Hao with cold eyes, and stepped forward very arrogantly, "Seeing that His Royal Highness King Hao has a solemn expression, it seems that he does not agree with the views of this palace, why don't King Hao also talk about his high opinions?" ”

Hearing this, the emperor remembered Xuanyuan Hao, so he leaned back on the back of the dragon chair, raised his eyebrows and stared at Xuanyuan Hao, "King Hao, tell me about it!" ”

"Erchen feels that His Royal Highness the Prince's plan is inappropriate, and the drawbacks are very obvious."

Xuanyuan Hao's tone was serious, and when Xuanyuan Qi heard what he said, his originally warm expression gradually sank.

"Oh? What's wrong? The Emperor sat up straight with amusement.

"First of all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that there are only a few cities, but which one is not important? Today, there is just a little riot on the border, and we will cut the city, so what about tomorrow? Tomorrow, if another country makes a disturbance on the border, will we cut the city again? If this method is relied upon, it will never be feasible in the long run. ”

Xuanyuan Qi looked at him coldly, flicked his sleeves with some displeasure, and turned his back.

"Sixth brother is wrong, Gu Aguo is just a small country, after tasting the sweetness, he will never attack again, this is just a temporary delaying tactic, do you want to watch the people on the border endure the pain of displacement?"

"They have now suffered from turmoil and chaos, and my Great Chu country is strong, so why can't they attack?" Xuanyuan Hao was angry.

"It's just something that can be handled by a few small things, so why do you have to use troops?" Xuanyuan Qi was furious, and the dispute was a little red-faced.

Two sharp eyes met in the air, and the ministers silently moved away from the two of them.

The quarrel between His Royal Highness the noble Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Hao cannot be provoked.

At this time, the emperor's face became more and more ugly, and he coughed with cold eyes, "What, don't you think I don't exist?" ”

Hearing this, the two brothers who were tense turned around and immediately fell silent, respectfully with His Royal Highness, "Erchen doesn't dare!" ”

"Since the two of you have your own reasons, let the prime minister decide." The emperor stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, his eyes revealing a sense of exhaustion.

Prime Minister Shen stood up, bent his old waist, and his posture was respectful.

"The old minister thinks that the prince's decision is reasonable, the monarch and the people are the truth handed down by the ancestors, and any decision in the court must be linked to the interests of the people, and it is nothing to suffer a little loss on face, the main thing is to make the people on the border less painful."

"Alright, alright, then do as the prince says." After saying that, the emperor coughed violently, he bent over, his hands covered his mouth, and his expression was distorted so that the wrinkles were crowded together.

"Your Majesty, you have to pay attention to the dragon body!"

The eunuch gave him a worried breath, and for a moment, the whole hall was filled with the sound of him coughing.

He coughed for a while before he stopped, "I've been unwell lately, and I'm still bothering you Aiqing to have more snacks on national affairs." ”

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, and was supported by the eunuch into the inner hall, Xuanyuan Hao looked at his somewhat clumsy back, and his eyes were full of worry.
