In just one month, the border was invaded by Tuyuhun against the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Xiao Lian, Xiao Zijing and Xiao Yuanda pursued the victory and won several victories in a row. However, the situation in Beijing is not optimistic.

The reversal of the border situation in Beijing did not reduce the number of displaced people.

He Jingying listened to Cao Jingzhao talking about the recent situation in Beijing on the side of the screen, and at the same time lowered her sleeves to cover the wounds on her arms and wrists.

She turned around and walked out of the screen and handed the small brown porcelain vase to Cao Jingzhao: "How is Mrs. Qi's side?" ”

Cao Jingzhao frowned and said, "There are suddenly a lot of homeless people in Beijing. Mrs. Qi has tried her best to resettle them, but these homeless people are very strange, they are not old and weak, women and children. ”

He Jingying's eyebrows jumped: "All men? ”

Cao Jingzhao nodded and said, "There are a lot of them." Mrs. Qi asked, and they all said that they escaped to avoid military service and hard labor. ”

He Jingying's belly is big, and she is not as flexible when she walks as before. She leaned against the golden silk couch, her face slightly pale from the blood she had just released.

On the third day of June, Yingzhou won a great victory. The emperor ordered Xiao Ziqing's class to return to the court.

On June 15, Xiangyang Sizhou won a great victory. The emperor ordered the rectification of the Anxi army. Xiao Lian galloped to the aid of Southern Qinzhou.

Now, except for the Southern Qin Prefecture where Xiao Yuanda is located, because it is too close to Tuyuhun and the Northern Wei Dynasty has not withdrawn its troops, the rest of the states and counties have been relieved of the crisis.

He Jingying rubbed the mouth of the glass bowl, the so-called rectification of the Anxi Army is nothing more than letting Xiao Zijing stay in Anlu, and he must not use troops easily. and ordered Xiao Ziqing to return to the court immediately, which seemed to be to let Xiao Ziqing return to the court to receive the reward, but in fact, this move was inappropriate. The Wei army of Yingzhou retreated, but the Wei army of Southern Qinzhou was still there. At this time, let the generals come back, if there is a sudden variable, Xiao Ziqing is not in a hurry to return to help.

And these military orders seem to be holy decrees, but they are actually issued by Xiao Luan.

In early June, when the good news of Sanyingzhou came, Xiao Zhaoye was in Xu Peirong's room with a group of singers Hu Tianhudi.

When the good news from Xiangyang and Sizhou came on June 15, Xiao Zhaoye had no intention of listening to Xiao Luan's report.

When the situation between the north and the south stabilizes, the country should indeed change hands. But before that, He Jingying still has to find ways to keep Xiao Zhaoye.

"How about the things that Mrs. Qi asked to prepare before?"

Cao Jingzhao replied: "I have already sent the singer to the Hou Mansion of the Marquis of Xichang." ”

He Jingying frowned and said, "Is it reliable?" ”

Xiao Luan is lustful, as we all know, it is easy to send a singer to his Hou mansion, but it is not so easy to let the singer assassinate him.

She and her sister were singers in Wang Jingze's house. Her sister at a feast...... In short, it's dead. She escaped. Xiao Luan was also present at that banquet at that time. ”

He Jingying lowered her eyes and said, "Inform her to do it tonight." The war on the border will soon be over, and all that remains is the battle between Korea and China. ”

Cao Jingzhao took the order and left.

At night, a bolt of lightning broke through the clouds and fell to the ground.

He Jingying stood quietly in front of the Zhaoyang Palace. If it succeeds tonight, at least after the war, the DPRK and China will not be able to make any waves for a while. Then she has plenty of time to plan for big things.

If Xiao Luan dies, the military and political power will only fall into the hands of Xiao Ziqing and Xiao Zijing. Compared with the two, she hopes to fall into the hands of Xiao Zijing. Although Xiao Ziqing is the first class of Xiao Zhaoye, he is impulsive and vulgar, and he once had a disagreement with Emperor Wen, He Jingying has never understood why Xiao Ziqing is sincere to Xiao Zhaoye.

In the past, Xiao Ziqing's statement was just because he didn't want Xiao Ziliang to benefit. But what about after Xiao Ziliang lost power? He Jingying didn't understand why Xiao Ziqing was still firmly on Xiao Zhaoye's side.

And Xiao Zijing, he has never been on Xiao Zhaoye's side. But he is an upright person and will not put the people in trouble for his own interests.

The rain poured down, washing away all the gloom and treachery in this palace.

Where will Xiao Zhaoye be now? If he wanted to know what he was thinking, what would he think?

He Jingying smiled self-deprecatingly, where else could she be in the Zhaochun Palace? He Jingying has never been a person with great ambitions, nor has she ever been a saint, but Xiao Zhaoye can't keep the world, the He family, and she can't protect her.

She didn't want to go to the sea of fire with Xiao Zhaoye anymore, she just wanted to protect herself.

"Queen Mother!"

He Jingying turned around and found a strange-looking palace maid outside the Zhaoyang Palace, rushing over from the heavy rain.

The palace maid didn't even have an umbrella, her clothes were all soaked, and the rain fell from between her hair, and she looked very embarrassed.

He Jingying frowned slightly and looked at the palace maid.

The palace maid knelt in front of the door of Zhaoyang Hall and said: "Niangniang, the slave maid is the person next to Xu Guifei, and the emperor invites Niangniang to go to Zhaochun Palace quickly." ”

He Jingying's brows furrowed even deeper: "What's the matter?" ”

The palace maid hurriedly said: "It was the Marquis of Xichang who broke into the Zhaochun Palace at night. ”

"What?!"

This surprise is not trivial.

Is it a failure?

He Jingying raised her feet and walked into the rain, and Sui Lian quickly took an umbrella and followed He Jingying.

The door of the hall of Zhaochun Palace was opened, and Xiao Luan was dressed in armor and stood in Zhaochun Palace with a sword in his hand. Xiao Chen stood in front of the gate of Zhaochun Palace and did not enter.

He Jingying looked at Xiao Chen coldly: "Does Commander Xiao know what happened in the palace?" ”

Xiao Chen lowered his head and replied: "The Marquis of Xichang has something to show to the emperor, and the emperor asked the ministers to wait outside the palace." ”

"Commander Xiao should not forget his duty."

He Jingying raised her feet and walked into the Zhaochun Palace, only to see Xiao Zhaoye sitting on his feet in rags, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up. And behind him were seven or eight singers, dressed in tulle, and some of them were just hugging the bed and hiding in the corner shivering. Xu Peirong helped Xiao Zhaoye and stood beside Xiao Zhaoye, and turned out to be the calmest person in this hall.

He Jingying didn't know whether to feel disgusting or ridiculous. Xiao Zhaoye's appearance is not even as good as a woman! Be a man in vain!

And Xiao Luan stood in front of Xiao Zhaoye with a sword, looking at him condescendingly.

Xu Longju knelt in front of Xiao Luan, the tip of his nose almost touching Xiao Luan's boots.

He Jingying looked at Xiao Luan coldly: "Why did the Marquis of Xichang disturb the holy car? ”

Xiao Luan saw He Jingying's eyes with disdain and provocation: "The queen mother should take care of it, but she will take care of Weichen first?" Isn't that right? ”

Xiao Luan said that he should not be in charge, naturally referring to those disheveled singers.

He Jingying said sharply: "This palace doesn't need Xichang Marquis to teach yet. ”

Xiao Luan teased: "No wonder, there are seven or eight singers in this room, if the queen comes alone, she can't stand it." ”

He Jingying saw Xiao Luan insulting her like this, even if she knew that he was deliberately provoking, she couldn't hold back her anger: "The Marquis of Xichang knows that this sentence is already a deception!" ”

Xiao Luan glanced at He Jingying with disdain, but said respectfully: "It's Ben Hou who lost his word, don't blame Niangniang." ”

Xiao Luan patted Xu Longju's cheek with the tip of his sword: "Ben Hou received the paper, saying that Gonggong Xu occupies 10,000 mu of fertile land in Shou County, and if you don't want to hand over the land deed, you will send someone to fight." The people of Shou County died because of this. ”

He Jingying looked at Xu Longju fiercely. Xu Longju's sideburns were scattered, and he kowtowed to He Jingying again and again: "Queen Mother, the old slave and the old slave did buy a lot of land in Shou County, but the old slave gave money, and he definitely didn't kill anyone." ”

He Jingying looked at Xu Longju coldly, what is the use of Xu Longju even if he quibbles? What's more, where did Xiao Luan come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but he was just killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

He Jingying said coldly: "First detain Gong Xu and investigate in detail in Dali Temple." He Jingying raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Luan again: "For such a trivial matter, you don't need to worry about Master Hou." ”

Xiao Luan glanced at He Jingying meaningfully: "How can the queen mother say that this is a trivial matter?" This kind of traitorous villain often accompanies the emperor's side, and the emperor's majesty is damaged. ”

He Jingying looked up at Xiao Luan suddenly. Xiao Luan was just using Xu Longju to test the emperor this time.

Even if Xu Longju is guilty, he is not guilty to death, not to mention that he still served Emperor Wen and the emperor, and he has accompanied the emperor since he was a child.

Xu Longju was so frightened by Xiao Luan's words that he knelt on the ground, trembling like a quail. "Your Majesty, the queen, the old slave was confused for a while, and please ask the emperor and the queen to spare the old slave's life for the sake of the old slave who has served for many years."

Although Xiao Zhaoye's face was gloomy, the trembling corners of his mouth still betrayed him. He could barely control his fear: "Master Hou, it doesn't have to be like this, right?" Xu Longju has been following me for a long time, and there is no merit and hard work......"

Xiao Luan himself is somewhat similar to the former emperor, and after changing his submissive expression in the past, he is even more similar to Xiao Luan. He looked at Xiao Zhaoye with a torch: "Your Majesty, my great Qi soldiers are fighting abroad to protect the family and defend the country, but such villains are harassing the people for their own selfish interests!" How can such a person stay by the emperor's side anymore and make my soldiers feel cold?! ”

Xiao Zhaoye looked up at Xiao Luan, because of Xiao Luan's Xiao Xun's appearance, Xiao Zhaoye didn't dare to look directly at him: "What should Master Hou do?" ”

Xiao Luan smiled coldly: "Of course, it is necessary for the emperor to slash such a villain in order to calm the hearts of my soldiers." ”

He Jingying looked at Xiao Luan fiercely: "Presumptuous! ”

Xiao Luan smiled mockingly: "What's the queen's hurry, the emperor hasn't spoken yet." ”

I'm afraid that after Xiao Zhaoye is soft this time, Xiao Luan will definitely gain an inch. Once her assassination failed, it was even more difficult to do it again. If Xiao Zhaoye obeys Xiao Luan's wishes this time, I am afraid that the courtiers will respect Xiao Luan.

Xiao Luan looked at Xiao Zhaoye again and said: "If the emperor is unwilling to do it, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers, and the old minister has no face to face the emperor, so he can only resign from the post of auxiliary minister." ”

Xiao Zhaoye raised his head and looked at Xiao Luan palely: "Aiqing, what is the pain. Xiao Zhaoye's eyes fell on Xu Longju's body again: "But ...... It's just a villain. ”

"The emperor spares his life!"

He Jingying looked at Xiao Zhaoye in shock and numbly picked up his sword and walked in front of Xu Longju.

"Gonggong Xu, you go down and continue to look for Emperor Wen."

Xu Longju kept kowtowing, this child he watched grow up, watched him get married, watched him ascend to the throne, and now he pointed at him with the tip of his sword. Xu Longju's face was covered with snot and tears: "The emperor spares his life!" The emperor spares his life! ”

He Jingying persuaded: "Your Majesty, Xu Longju's crime will not be to death!" Even if it is a capital crime, it should be sentenced by Dali Temple! ”

Xiao Zhaoye glanced up at Xiao Luan again, his eyes were at a loss, but Xiao Luan just looked at him with a smile and didn't say anything.

The next moment, He Jingying saw Xiao Zhaoye close his eyes slightly, and the sword stabbed through Xu Longju's chest and pierced out of his back.

Xu Longju fell in a pool of blood and struggled weakly. Finally glared and swallowed.

Xiao Luan laughed, and the voice resounded through the Zhaochun Palace. He turned around and strode out of the Zhaochun Palace, and a little eunuch hurriedly ran over and held an umbrella for Xiao Luan to send him out of the palace.

He Jingying recognized the little eunuch as the eunuch who had been on duty in the Zhaochun Hall before.

He Jingying was angry from her heart, and she didn't want to stay in the Zhaochun Hall for a moment. Everyone in this temple disgusted her.

As soon as He Jingying turned around, his sleeve was pulled by Xiao Zhaoye, and he snorted, "A-Ying." ”

He Jingying turned around coldly: "What else does the emperor need his concubines to do?" ”

Xiao Zhaoye seemed to be stabbed by He Jingying's cold words: "A-Ying, but a eunuch." ”

He Jingying sneered: "You should have feelings for a dog, let alone someone who has been with the emperor for so long?!" ”

Xu Peirong came out of the corner, glared at He Jingying and said, "Queen Mother, how can you talk to the emperor like this, but it's ......"

"Slap" A crisp slap hit Xu Peirong in the face. He Jingying looked at Xu Peirong coldly: "You shut up in the palace!" ”

Xu Peirong covered her face and looked at Xiao Zhaoye with an aggrieved expression, but found that Xiao Zhaoye was indifferent at all. Xiao Zhaoye looked at He Jingying, and seemed to have been greatly wronged in his heart: "A-Ying, Xu Longju is not dead today, and the one who died may be me!" Don't you see the expression of Xichanghou just now! He ......"

He Jingying said with a smile: "Does the emperor know what it's like to be self-inflicted?" ”

"You!" Xiao Zhaoye was a little annoyed: "Then what do you want me to do?" What kind of mess did the emperor leave me? If you want money, you don't have money, you don't have power! The treasury is about to bottom out without the Wang family! The border is also an endless battle! Since I ascended the throne, there has not been a day of peace! “

He didn't understand the emperor's intentions at all, but he blamed the emperor for his slump and mediocrity.

He Jingying was no longer able to argue with Xiao Zhaoye, she looked at Xiao Zhaoye with extreme disappointment: "The concubine begs the emperor to be a good emperor, can the emperor do it?" ”

Xiao Zhaoye was furious by He Jingying's gaze, he looked at He Jingying and begged: "A-Ying, I gave you the best, you ......"

He Jingying smiled faintly: "You ruined me." ”

"You are my queen!"

"Yes!" He Jingying looked directly at Xiao Zhaoye: "The concubine is your queen and the mother of a country, today it is, and it will still be tomorrow." But the concubine was wrong, and the concubine did not do a good job as a queen. ”

He Jingying glanced lightly at the singers hiding in the corner: "Xu Longju shouldn't be the only one who died today. ”

He Jingying turned around silently, not listening to the screams coming from behind her. "It's the concubine's fault."

It's long overdue.

It should have been done to Xiao Zhaoye a long time ago.

Now he can only be at a disadvantage, because he is too weak and kind.
