Saying that, Fuqing also came in, bowed down to Tuoba Yue and said, "Your Majesty, the matter is done, and now there is a carriage waiting outside." ”

Xiao Tian immediately got up and said, "Your Majesty, as the king of a country, is unspeakable and untrustworthy. ”

Tuoba Yue was already in turmoil, he had thought about it a lot, and even found out little by little that He Xi was not dead, but that child. He waved his hand and asked the guards around him to take people out, Jiayu Hall was in a remote location, and after such a noisy scene, it seemed even more lonely and deserted.

Tuoba Yue sat down a little tired and asked, "Fuqing, I never asked you what happened back then. ”

Yes, he never asked, maybe he was afraid, maybe he was unwilling, maybe he was guilty, so many emotions were intertwined, so that he couldn't look directly into his heart.

Fuqing sighed, and he said slowly: "When His Majesty was trapped in Shu, the little lord was snubbed by the four princes because of the matter of the concubine, and then it was Bai Cairen who interceded, so he went to Zhaohua Temple to pray with the queen, and later, it was the slave who went to Zhaohua Temple with the four princes, and saw the little lord imitate the makeup of the former queen and was reprimanded to return to the palace. ”

Saying that, he thought for a while and said, "However, later the slave heard from the people of the Internal Affairs Office that they met robbers on the road and plundered one of the palace maids who made a mistake, but it was just a palace maid, so they hid. Later, the four princes never went to the Autumn Dew Hall to see the little master, until later, the ugly girl was tortured by the queen, and you already know about the latter things. ”

It's the first time Tuoba Yue knows so much, at that time, Lianxin should still be by He Xi's side, and she met robbers on the way? Even if it is secretly sent back to the palace, there will inevitably be someone secretly opening the way, and Zhaohua Temple has always been a place where royal nobles often come and go, and they have never heard of robbers, even if they are, they dare not do anything to the people of the royal family, the person who was plundered should be He Xi, and the person who was sent back to the palace should be Lianxin.

But now that Lianxin is dead, this matter is just speculation, but later, how did He Xi enter Shu by himself?

No, she must still have a helper, Liang Qi, but Liang Qi was not by her side at that time, who is the power she can rely on?

Suddenly, a person rushed into his mind, Wang Lang, yes, after returning from Shuzhong, he also went back to the ancient tomb, as if Wang Lang did not inquire with himself, what he met in Shuzhong, and Yuxue's attitude towards Wang Lang, with a kind of gratitude and trust.

But why didn't Wang Lang say it to himself?

A lot of speculation and thoughts almost broke the tight strings in his brain, maybe there are some things, you have to ask yourself, you can get a definite answer.

He got up and said, "Let's go, prepare the horse, and go to the Miao Domain." ”

Fu Qing knew his plan early in the morning, so he whispered: "The seventh day of the month is ready, there is Lord Zhang in the court, and there is Concubine De in the harem, you can rest assured." ”

Tuoba Yue strode away, and after Fuqing waited for Tuoba Yue to leave, his eyes cooled and said: "Let Lord Zhang spread the news, just say that the Xiao father and daughter have escaped from Beijing, and there is still a lot of gold and silver on them, so there must be people who are interested." ”

The chamberlain hesitated a little and said, "But father-in-law, Your Majesty didn't say that you want to deal with them, let's act rashly, if Your Majesty knows-"

Fu Qing snorted coldly and said: "How many bad things have they done, even if we don't say it, it is wishful thinking to come up with a large amount of gold and silver, let's just help them, not to mention, Your Majesty can no longer be restrained by the mother family, Xiao Tianzai is also Xiao Guifei's clan, Your Majesty will not do it." ”

The waiter gritted his teeth and said, "The slave only knows, so I'll go and inform Master Zhang." ”

Fuqing turned around and walked out of the Jiayu Palace, towards the Shoukang Palace, Tuoba Yue only took a few guards in order to hurry, secretly went out of the palace, and went all the way to the direction of the Miao Domain.

Soon after he left Beijing, Concubine De used the excuse of wanting to go to Cuishan Palace to enjoy spring, so she was arranged by Fuqing to leave the capital.

And Xiao Tian's father and daughter, who thought that they had escaped from the ascension, were blocked by a group of mountain bandits when they traveled to Changzhou, which was more than 100 miles away from the capital.

The two sides fought for several hours, and finally Xiao Tian and others were defeated, Xiao Nai and Xiao Tian were captured, and at this time, the officers and soldiers located in Changzhou poured out, in the name of suppressing bandits.

Xiao Tian saw that the visitor was dressed in a python robe, and his body was a little thin, and when he got closer, he found that it was Zhao Yancheng, Xiao Nai's eyes were happy, and he said loudly: "Lord Zhao save us-"

Xiao Tian was keenly aware that something was wrong, and he frowned and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Zhao Yancheng looked at the surrounding mountain bandits, and Xiao Tian's subordinates who had been subdued, and smiled: "What is Xiao Gong's words, the lower officials are naturally here to suppress the bandits." ”

He bit the word bandit very hard, Xiao Nai also heard that something was wrong, although Zhao Yancheng was unfavorable last time, but after all, his main task was to solve the problem of mutual market, as for the Lan family, Tuoba Yue did not blame him, of course, this is based on the premise that Tuoba Yue did not know that Zhao Yancheng wanted to take away the Jiang family.

As soon as she thought of this, Xiao Nai had a little confidence, she smiled with her, but her voice said with a somewhat commanding tone: "Lord Zhao, we are also old acquaintances, you still don't let us go?" ”

Zhao Yancheng didn't move, and the officers and soldiers under him didn't move, he paced forward and approached the two of them, leaned over and whispered: "I know what you want to say, but you said that it is more beneficial for me to save you and let you go, or is it the best for me to shut you up?" ”

Xiao Tian's expression changed greatly, and he said angrily: "You dare, we have the dictation of Your Majesty, he allowed us to leave the calendar, the gentleman said a word, the horse is difficult to chase, do you want to trap Your Majesty in an unkind and unrighteous place?" ”

Zhao Yancheng said with a frightened face: "How dare the lower officials, but you died at the hands of bandits, and the ministers are too late, after all, although this Changzhou is the place where I served before, but I am now serving in the capital, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, and there is a mistake, don't you say?" ”

In fact, there is another sentence that Zhao Yancheng did not say, that is, he specially chose the location of Changzhou, on the one hand, because he has been the commander of Changzhou for many years, and he still has some friendship with local bandit forces, on the other hand, if Tuoba Yue really investigates it in the future, he will also believe that he and the Xiao family have no collusion.

Of course, he wouldn't tell anyone, and after saying to Xiao Tian and the others, he turned around and waved his hand: "Do it." ”

Xiao Nai screamed and wanted to retreat, but the knives of those officers and soldiers had already been cut down, and the current Changzhou commander Shi Tou did not dare to raise it.

Zhao Yancheng walked up to him and said, "Change those guards into the clothes of the mountain bandits, I shouldn't need to teach you the excerpts." ”

The Changzhou commander Shi Lian waved his hand and said: "No, don't worry, don't worry, this bandit is arrogant, committing murder in the Changzhou territory, robbing gold and silver, although the two Xiao family have been killed when their subordinates arrived, but the remaining bandits were also strangled on the spot by their subordinates." ”

Zhao Yancheng was pleased with this person's cleverness, so he nodded.

And two days later, Concubine De, who originally said that she was enjoying the spring scenery in the Cuishan Palace, brought back a woman from the palace, who was the wonderful lady of the previous four princes.

At that time, Shu Miao was five months pregnant, and Concubine De took the royal heir back to the palace to raise the fetus on the grounds that the royal heir could not be outside, and the envoy of the Tai Hospital was personally responsible for the fetus of this wonderful lady.

For a while, rumors were boiling in the court, some people said that His Majesty would not go to court for a few days, and that Concubine De was put under house arrest, and Concubine De went to Cuishan Palace only to receive Shu Miao into the palace, intending to support her young son to ascend to the throne and control the government.

The old ministers of the court naturally could not agree, and almost every day they went to Shoukang Palace to kneel and demonstrate, and finally Zhang Minyuan took out the holy decree that Tuoba Yue left for himself before leaving, and wrote: "Although the four princes are loyal and good, unkind and unfilial, but the sin is not as good as the young son, the young son is innocent, and I have no heirs, I have always felt guilty, if it is a special gift to give birth to a prince, I am willing to pass this son to my name." ”

Although the holy decree did not mention the establishment of the crown prince, but the information in it was shocking, the emperor still had a concubine in the palace, and then I heard that I don't know why I escaped from the palace, and now the harem is empty, how can there be an heir, even if there is, according to Tuoba Yue's meaning, the child paper in the belly of the special is the eldest son, what does the emperor's eldest son mean, everyone has to weigh it in their hearts.

However, with this holy decree, the people who were panicked at the beginning did not panic, and the court gradually settled down, and the government was handed over to Zhang Minyuan, Xu Shao, Zhao Yancheng and others to deal with it jointly.

On the other side, there was less than a day before the new Gu King came out of the valley to sacrifice, He Xi's whole person was tense, like a string that was about to break at any time, even Dong'er Niang felt He Xi's nervousness, she approached and comforted her and said: "Don't worry, girl, a few days ago, I heard from the villagers that it seems that the new Gu King is a kind person, and it won't be difficult for you to think about it." ”

He Xi just smiled, and now, He Xi felt a little tired, she took a deep breath and said: "No matter whether it is success or failure, it may be the fate of our mother and daughter." Thank you, sister-in-law. ”

Dong'er Niang patted the back of He Xi's hand in distress, but couldn't say anything.

Early the next morning, Liang Qi came to call He Xi and said, "Miss, it's time for us to go." ”

He Xi didn't close his eyes almost all night, and there was a faint blue-black under his eyes, Dong'er's mother pulled Dong'er and sent a few people to the entrance of the village, and when she saw that they really entered the valley, she turned around and left.

After only walking a few steps, I heard Dong'er pointing to the distance and shouting: "Mother, big horse—"

Dong'er Niang looked up, only to see a person in white clothes and black hair, sitting on a group of black horses, heading in the direction of the Miao Domain Worm Valley, the guards behind her were also handsome and extraordinary, those people were extremely fast, as if they were going to meet someone, Dong'er looked at it stupidly, and suddenly laughed: "Mother, that person is so good-looking, like-like Ah Li." ”

Dong'er's mother stretched out her hand and scratched Dong'er's little nose, and said, "Female doll's house, I'm not ashamed, let's go back quickly." ”

As she spoke, the mother and daughter held hands and disappeared into the rising sun.
