Jiao Changqing naturally wanted to deal with the crown prince, he used a sentence to send away Wei Feng's subordinates, but he failed to send Wei Feng away.

Wei Feng stood a few steps away, looking at the blurred figure behind the curtain.

Is the prince really sick? Rushing to the heart? Maybe......

Shen Dan saw that he was delayed in leaving, so he took the initiative to step forward and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not feeling well, so please go out." ”

Wei Feng's attention was originally on the prince's body, but when he saw that Shen Dan, a little palace maid, dared to stand in front of him, tilting his face and talking to himself, he couldn't help frowning.

Wei Feng just glanced at her, and then looked at the prince again.

Regardless of his identity, he is now a prisoner of the Great General.

"Please leave!" Shen Dan repeated again.

Wei Feng glanced at her again: "In this palace, no one can order me except the general." ”

Shen Dan was angry when he heard this, glared at him and said, "Who do you think you are?" ”

Wei Feng only returned this sentence to her: "Then who do you think you are?" ”

Looking at her dress, she is just a palace maid, or maybe the prince's bed warmer palace maid, which is not worth mentioning at all.

Shen Dan glared at him fiercely, then lifted the curtain and walked in.

Jiao Changqing knew that Wei Feng was monitoring his and the prince's every move, and it was inconvenient for him to say anything to Changsheng. However, Changsheng's eager and inquiring eyes clearly wanted to ask her about the queen mother.

Jiao Changqing watched Shen Dan come in with a calm face, and said, "You have to take good care of Your Highness." ”

He wanted to get up and leave, but Changsheng secretly grabbed his hand.

Jiao Changqing couldn't mention half a word about Niangniang, so he held his hand back, followed by his palm, and wrote the word "An".

This word "An" is enough to make Changsheng breathe a sigh of relief.

The four eyes met, and there was silence for a while.

Jiao Changqing nodded at him slightly, signaling him not to worry.

When he walked out, Wei Feng followed behind him.

Shen Dan returned to Changsheng's side and wiped his face with a wet towel.

Changsheng sat up, looked at the vast night outside the window, and sighed, "When will I see the queen mother?" ”

Shen Dan softly comforted: "Your Highness, don't worry, as long as the mother is safe." ”

Niangniang, the prince, they are all trapped people. Therefore, saving your life is the most important thing.

……

The good news can be sent to the capital in ten days, but Zhou Youchen has not waited for the news from the capital. There is not a word, not even a flying pigeon.

There must be some reason behind such an abnormality.

Zhou Youchen was stumped by Cangzhou, but a big victory could block the mouth of the courtiers.

As the emperor of Northern Yan, he still has the ability and courage to solve the biggest dilemma of Northern Yan. It's just that the strangeness of the capital still makes him very concerned. But he wouldn't have thought that the capital had been lost and completely fell into the hands of Chu Jingchuan.

Zhou Youchen personally took up the pen and wrote a letter, a letter to Meng Xilan.

He had promised her that he would return within two months, but he lost his word.

Zhou Youchen has been the emperor for less than a year, and he built a palace for himself that is extremely extravagant.

After Zhou Youchen took over here, this palace became his sleeping palace.

When he saw this for the first time, he sneered in his heart.

The imperial court was struggling because of the tight military salary, but here, Zhou Youlong was able to have such a gorgeous palace. It's definitely a sharp irony.

Zhou Youchen is not ready to leave this place, the treasury is empty, and this silver can be of great use.

Cangzhou City, which has been trapped by war and siege, is dilapidated everywhere, and someone must clean up such a big mess.

The city is in ruins, and it seems that it will take a long, long time to rebuild......

On the eve of Zhou Youchen's departure, a person next to him suddenly stepped in to stop him.

"Your Majesty, don't rush back to Beijing!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, not to mention Zhou Youchen.

The person who said this did not have a high status in the army, but was only a second lieutenant. But in the previous battles, he made a great contribution.

Zhou Youchen still has an impression of him, his name is Xu Xuanwu, and he is a young and upright person.

"The emperor drove the expedition in person, and the flag was victorious, what else is there to delay?"

"Your Majesty, here in Cangzhou, the ministers are willing to share the emperor's worries, and I hope that the emperor will return to Beijing as soon as possible and take charge of the overall situation."

Except for Xu Xuanwu, everyone supports the emperor's return to Beijing as soon as possible.

Zhou Youchen looked at Xu Xuanwu and was silent.

Xu Xuanwu lowered his head, avoiding everyone's scrutiny, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, this is not the first time you have been on a personal expedition. The minister dared to ask, before again, had the emperor ever cut off contact with the capital? ”

Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, "It's been a whole month, and there is no news from the capital." Doesn't the emperor think it's strange at all? ”

Zhou Youchen's eyebrows trembled slightly, and his heart tightened slightly.

He didn't think it was strange, but he didn't believe that something would happen in the capital.

There is the crown prince acting as the government, and Chu Jingchuan has withdrawn to the capital.

With such a balance between inside and outside, how can the capital be in danger?

Suddenly...... A thought flashed through Zhou Youchen's mind. This thought made his heart shiver.

Xu Xuanwu is not a person who can observe words and feelings, he watched the emperor pacing under the window with his hands in his hands, turning his back to him, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, haven't you been wary of General Chu?" In Weichen's humble opinion, the current strength in Chu Jingchuan's hands is no less than that of the emperor...... And he withdrew to the capital for two months. Your Majesty, the minister thought that something might have happened in the capital......"

This may be the last thing he should have said in his life, but he said it anyway because of the deep worry in his heart.

Because of his words, everyone's faces changed.

Zhou Youchen was unusually silent, it was a silence with hidden anger.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Chu Jingchuan has just made a war exploit, how can he rebel? ”

"Yes, the Chu family has been loyal and good for generations, how can you talk nonsense?"

Xu Xuanwu still insisted on his own point of view when he heard this.

"If nothing happens in the capital, how can there be no response?"

Abnormality is the problem, maybe it may not be Chu Jingchuan who rebelled, but something must have happened in the capital.

Zhou Youchen clenched his fists and repeatedly recited a name in his heart.

Chu Jingchuan...... Chu Jingchuan ......"

He's always been an eyesore, but he's always been a useful person.

Does he dare to play tricks behind his back? Does he dare?

……

Since Meng Xilan was injured, she has been recuperating in Cining Palace. Chu Jingchuan replaced all the people around her, leaving only Zhulu and Gao Welfare.

Her injuries are neither minor nor severe, and they will also leave scars.

Every time Jiao Changqing mentioned this, he felt guilty.

Meng Xilan didn't mind.

"Niangniang, please give Weichen some time."

It is impossible to completely erase such a long wound.

Meng Xilan clasped her lower abdomen with both hands, shook her head and said, "I don't care anymore, don't take it to heart." ”

Now, they are all precarious people. Why bother?

Jiao Changqing insisted: "The minister will definitely think of a way." ”

Meng Xilan raised her eyes to look at him: "I don't care anymore, what do you still care?" ”

Jiao Changqing's expression was gloomy: "Weichen's duty is to take care of Niangniang. Niangniang's body can't have the slightest scar......"

Little did she know that she had always been perfect in his heart. No, it should be said that he wants her to be flawless......

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes slightly when she heard this.

He was in such a state that he seemed to be back to the past. Back then, in order to treat his relatives, he did not hesitate to do such a cruel thing as changing his heart.

"Changqing."

She no longer calls him "Master" but directly by his name. She had never called him that before, and this was the first time.

Jiao Changqing raised his eyes in surprise and looked at Meng Xilan's calm gaze, his eyes flickering.

"Niangniang......" He was stunned for a long time.

Meng Xilan looked at him deeply and said softly: "We have known each other since the year I entered the palace. After more than ten years of ups and downs, if I didn't have you, I'm afraid I would have already traveled countless times in the Netherworld. Coming to this point, I am unwilling in my heart, and you are also unwilling in your heart, but there is no way, the emperor is not in charge of the overall situation in the capital, and people's hearts are also in chaos. ”

"Niangniang, please be patient, the emperor will be back soon."

Jiao Changqing restrained his emotions and comforted her.

"There has been no news in the capital for so long, the emperor will definitely be suspicious. He'll be back, I'm sure. When Meng Xilan said this, she was stunned: "The current dilemma, even if the emperor comes back, it will not be solved immediately." Chu Jingchuan's troops are not as small as the emperor's hands. When Chu Jingchuan entered Beijing, he didn't need to move a single soldier, and he came to us in a grand manner. And even if the emperor came back, he would have been running for a long distance and had exhausted his strength. ”

Jiao Changqing frowned when he heard this: "Niangniang, don't you have confidence in the emperor?" ”

Meng Xilan didn't shake her head or nod, she didn't want to deny it, and she didn't have to admit it.

Who is Chu Jingchuan? He is the first fierce general of Northern Yan, and he is also the "God of War" who terrifies the Turks! He has only won battles in his life, and he has been fighting for Beiyan all his life.

Because of the relationship between the Meng family and the Chu family, and because of his past with Chu Jingchuan, although Zhou Youchen repeatedly reused Chu Jingchuan, he still had an aversion to him in his heart.

He has never regarded Chu Jingchuan as his opponent, he has always regarded him as his subordinate, or even a defeated subordinate.

A man who has never been in his eyes has now become his worst enemy.

How should Zhou Youchen deal with it? This is a real concern.

"Weichen has confidence in the emperor." Jiao Changqing took a deep breath and said: "With the support and help of Niangniang, the emperor will definitely be able to save the day." ”

Meng Xilan looked at him fixedly, with an unpredictable look in her eyes. "Changqing, you understand me. At a critical time, there will only be one person in my heart, and that person is not the emperor, but the prince. ”

The responsibility of being a mother is far more important than being a wife.
