This situation couldn't help but remind Meng Xilan of before she was reborn...... After Zhou Shili ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, there was a bloody storm in the capital.

Although this tragic situation is not as good as it was back then, it is also shocking.

Because of her worry-free pregnancy, Meng Xilan's heart was completely confused, and when she learned about it, she was even more upset.

The evil of the year ruined her voice. And now, if this evil fruit is tasted by others, I don't know how many grievances and grievances will be involved.

Obviously, midsummer is coming, and the window is lush and full of flowers, but Meng Xilan suddenly felt a chill, like a cold autumn wind, which made her feel heavy and sighed quietly.

The emperor's purpose in handling this matter with such a thunderous momentum is nothing more than to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys. The imperial court suffered from the enemy, however, there were still people who dared to take advantage of the chaos, which was the most unbearable for Zhou Youchen.

There is no doubt that at the moment, for Zhou Youchen, internal and external troubles are enough to make him anxious.

Worry-free about being pregnant, Meng Xilan has not yet told Zhou Youchen.

She didn't mean to hide it, she just felt that the time had not come.

Worry-free was just four months pregnant, Meng Xilan carefully calculated the time, and when the emperor sent troops, it was not yet the day when she was about to give birth.

If the child is born safely, what will happen to the relationship between the Northern Yan and the Turks? Maybe it will be as carefree expects, but maybe nothing will happen.

The Turks deliberately blocked the news, which shows that their determination to annex Northern Yan has not wavered in the slightest.

Meng Xilan thought about this, her eyebrows frowned, and Zhou Youchen on the side looked at her quietly, only to feel that she was full of worries.

"Lan'er, do you have something to say to me?"

has been married for many years, and he only needs to look at her eyes to know if she has something on her mind.

This is a tacit understanding and a habit.

In the past two days, she has been a little depressed, and from time to time she will be in a daze.

Meng Xilan's dark eyes were gently raised, and her eyes were deep, looking at Zhou Youchen, hoping to follow his eyes and see the depths of his heart.

"Your Majesty......" She opened her mouth softly and asked softly: "Cangzhou battle, do you have to fight?" ”

Zhou Youchen seemed to have expected it, the lines on his face were slightly tense, and he only said: "I also want to calm things down, but blindly retreating will only make the enemy more arrogant." ”

How can he taste the danger of this battle, it is not about the victory of a battle, but about the life and death of the entire Beiyan.

"Zhou Youlong expected that I would not send troops, so he had to prepare for the enthronement ceremony with great fanfare! As the saying goes, the arrogant army will be defeated, and I want to teach him a good lesson! ”

Although they are brothers, they are now enemies. As the king of a country, the dignity of a king does not allow him to tolerate anyone challenging the imperial power in front of him.

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes slightly when she heard this, and was silent. When she raised her eyes again, a faint mist had opened up in her eyes. "Okay, now that the emperor has made up his mind. The concubines have nothing to say, please go early and return early, be careful, don't let the concubines worry for too long. ”

His desperate decision was perhaps not the wisest of all. But this is also a way to go.

If the imperial court continues to suffer from the enemy in this way, and is undecided, then the people's hearts will inevitably be in turmoil.

Under the chaos, there will be a disaster of blood and light. When the time comes, those who dare to covet the division of imperial power will all rush into the capital and turn it into a Shura field full of killing.

Zhou Youchen knew what she was worried about, she was worried that she would not return.

He stretched out his hand and gently tapped the table, and he clapped it three or three times: "Three months at most, within three months, I will definitely finish this matter." ”

Hearing this, Meng Xilan shook her head and said, "How can Concubine He De be able to hold this capital for three months?" As a harem concubine, the concubine can only guard the six palaces, but in the affairs of the court, the concubine is more than willing but not enough. Therefore, please ask the emperor to make a quick decision and come back early. ”

Even if it was for the sake of the crown prince, he should have come back early.

Once the Turks sent troops, they drove straight in, and the momentum was like a bamboo, but they could reach the capital in two months, and the capital would be dangerous at that time.

Zhou Youchen was silent, Meng Xilan slowly stretched out his hand, held his hand, and secretly exerted force: "For the sake of the crown prince, the emperor can only win this battle, not lose." ”

If he is defeated, then, the people's hearts will be lost, and Beiyan will never be able to return to the prosperity of the past.

Who can afford the scourge of troubled times?

Zhou Youchen held her hand back and said harder than her: "Believe me!" ”

He only gave her these three words, Meng Xilan nodded with a smile when she heard this, and a faint pain appeared in her chest.

promises are the most beautiful, but they are always so fragile and unbearable to the blow of fate.

……

For three days in a row, Zhou Youchen rested in Song Qing'er's bedroom.

Such grace has never been seen before.

Song Qinger had no intention of being complacent, but felt that she was a lot more down-to-earth.

Recently, a lot of things have happened in the palace, and she hasn't been to Cining Palace much in order to avoid suspicion. Who knows, the matter will be over so soon, and she will not have a chance to go to the queen mother again.

Seeing that the hour was not early, Song Qing'er was still waiting for the emperor to come over. Who knows, send someone out to inquire, only to know that the emperor is talking to the queen mother in Cining Palace.

Song Qing'er was a little disappointed when she heard this, it seems that the emperor will not come today.

Three days of pampering is already an extra grace for her.

Song Qing'er sat in front of the dresser and slowly took off her dress.

In order to make the emperor look happy, she really spent a while on it.

The palace maid behind her gently combed her long hair for her and accidentally snorted softly.

Song Qing'er frowned: "What's the matter, such a fuss?" ”

The palace maid's tone was a little flustered: "Niangniang, the slave maid saw a white hair." ”

Song Qing'er was stunned at first, and then smiled: "It's just a white hair, it's not in the way." ”

According to her age, there really shouldn't be gray hair. It's just that living in this deep palace, there are always too many things for her to worry about.

Under the candlelight, Song Qing'er stared at her face quietly.

The childishness of the former girl has long disappeared without a trace, and her gaze is different from before.

Song Qing'er raised her hand to caress her face, and suddenly felt that she was getting old.

Suddenly, she sighed softly, full of emotion.

When the grandmother next to her heard this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at her, and saw her staring at herself in the mirror, with a look almost sad on her face.

Mama gave a look to the palace maid who was combing her hair, then picked up the peach wood comb, and continued to comb her master's long hair.

"...... The slave maid heard that there was a palace maid named Shen Dan by the prince's side, and she has been very favored recently. ”

Song Qing'er was about to close her eyes and recuperate, and when she heard this, she immediately opened her eyes to look at her. "You inquired?"

Mama shook her head: "This is something that everyone in the palace knows." ”

Song Qing'er seemed to see through her thoughts, and said bluntly: "If it is for the princess, this palace has no intention of competing for favor." The most untouchable person in this palace is the prince. ”

The prince was poisoned, and this matter is so difficult to investigate. But it took less than three days for the queen to understand the matter.

Such a Meng Xilan is frightening, and there are high benefits under her hands.

Mama pondered for a moment before she said, "Niangniang, it's always good to plan more." Shen Dan is from a humble background, but he has a lot of means. She can not only please the prince, but also gain the trust of the queen. That's what she's capable of. ”

Song Qing'er just chuckled and shook her head when she heard this: "No matter how smart she is, she can't escape the palm of the queen's mother." ”

The reason why Meng Xilan chose her must have her intentions.

"Niangniang, the prince is the prince. The people around him are now the objects that everyone in the palace wants to talk to. ”

Song Qing'er's eyes were slightly cold, and she brushed away her grandmother's hand to comb her hair, and said in a deep tone: "No!" No matter who wants to tie up with the prince, our people are not allowed to get involved. The crown prince is the prince, and he is the heart of the queen's mother. No matter who is close to him or who is an enemy of him, nothing good will end in the end. ”

She didn't mean to scare them, it was just a matter of experience.

Song Qing'er knows her catty very well, she doesn't want to set off any waves, she just wants to keep her hard-won position, and the princess grows up safely.

……

After half a year, the imperial court finally raised sufficient military salaries.

Zhou Youchen still mobilized the military forces of all parties and sent troops to Cangzhou as soon as possible.

In order to prevent the news of the imperial court's dispatch of troops from being revealed, they had to defend the northwest border to obscure the public.

Indeed, now in the eyes of everyone, including Zhou Youlong, the biggest enemy of Northern Yan is not Zhou Youlong, but the Turks.

His father is about to go on an expedition, and Changsheng is worried.

He wanted to go with his father, but he had to stay.

He is the crown prince, he wants to act as the agent of the country, and he wants to share the worries of his father.

The bookcase is full of stacks of folds, all of which are about the big and small things about the people's livelihood in the world.

Changsheng stayed up for several nights, and his eyes were bloodshot.

The tea was changed bowl after bowl, and it was time again in a flash.

"Your Highness, this is already the fifth bowl."

Changsheng twisted his eyebrows and rubbed his forehead vigorously.

Seeing this, Shen Dan couldn't help but take a step forward and said, "Your Highness, it's better for the slave to play a tune and let you close your eyes and recuperate, even for a moment." ”

She was by the prince's side, and there were only these two uses. Either test the poison or play the piano......

Hearing this, Changsheng glanced at her: "Now is not a good time to sing and dance. ”

His tone seemed to be sarcastic, how could a frog at the bottom of a well like her understand the turmoil and struggle outside.

Shen Dan lowered his head and said, "The slave maid plays the piano for His Highness, not to make fun of His Highness and relieve his boredom. Rather, in order to let His Highness rest, your eyes are red, and if the queen mother sees it, she will definitely be very distressed. ”

The atmosphere in the palace has been very depressing these days, as if everyone is preoccupied.

Although Shen Dan was in the palace all day long and never went out to walk around easily, she knew that there was going to be a big event in the imperial court, and there was going to be a big event in His Royal Highness the Prince.
