The fourth prince came today, it is true that he is not here to eat dumplings, he wants to see Huili, if there is a chance, he can make some unsaid words clear, every time they meet, they come and go in a hurry, after two years of separation, they have not spoken properly.

He was also afraid that Hui Li would escape, but in comparison, even a cowardly person like him bravely walked forward, how could Hui Li escape, she was far better than herself, and she was a woman she was not worthy of.

Now that they have let go of each other, Xiangtai can also give it a go and strive for a future that may not be seen, even if it is ...... He shook his head, don't be so pessimistic, he still wants to earn a peaceful and prosperous life for Huili, so that she will have no worries for her life.

Because of Xiangtai's sudden visit, the house was lively for a while, and Chiba and Erniang saw that Huili and the fourth prince were talking calmly and generously, and they also calmed down. Erniang pulled Chiba and whispered, "What should I do with those things sent by Rongfu?" ”

Chiba booed: "I'll talk about it later." ”

Xiangtai left before evening, Zhuo Xi wanted to escort him back to the palace, Miss Qiqing also followed, and when the people were cleaning up the dishes, Huili ran to ask Chiba: "Sister-in-law, did you make Sister Chu Ge angry?" ”

Chiba waved his hand again and again, and had the heart to joke: "No, where do I dare to provoke the Chu woman?" ”

Hui Li said strangely: "What's the matter, it's like eating explosives, Brother Zhuo Xi greeted her when he left just now, Sister Chu Ge's eyes, tsk, what are the two of them going to do." ”

Chiba smiled: "Don't talk too much, go back and Chu Ge will clean you up, let's just watch from the sidelines." It's you, and Xiangtai made it clear, right, and it won't be embarrassing to see each other anymore, right? ”

Huili heartily agreed: "It's okay anymore, my heart is open, but I forgot to give him a gift today, and Ming'er has to make a trip." But after all, he is a prince, and he will soon have children if he has a wife, I should avoid suspicion, I am afraid that we will be fine, but people who are good things are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and it is good for each other to understand in their hearts. The gift, my sister-in-law sent it, or asked Tuan Tuan to bring it, I won't go. ”

Chiba was very relieved to see that Huili was thinking so thoroughly, but this time Zi Dingshan was busy somewhere, and he would never see the fun at home.

Late at night, I was looking forward to the return of Dingshan, and when it was cold, Chiba couldn't bear to take care of the child in the middle of the night, so she hugged Chu Chu back and placed a small bed at the other end of the house, which was convenient for taking care of and did not affect the rest of their husband and wife. At this time, he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, and Joyama returned with a cold body, and was glared at by Chiba and motioned for him to go out.

Dingshan could only change his clothes outside, Xu was cold and hot, he couldn't help sneezing, bluffed Chu Chu muttered a few times, and finally fell asleep under the coaxing of Chiba.

Chiba came out with a hand stove, stuffed it into her husband's arms, and said angrily: "I coaxed her to sleep so easily, I played for most of the day today, and I was so excited that I refused to sleep." You, who don't care about family affairs on weekdays, always cause me trouble. ”

Dingshan said: "Why don't you ask me, is it a cold?" ”

Chiba stepped forward, touched his forehead, and smiled calmly: "Isn't this good, being a father is still jealous of his daughter?" ”

Joyama immediately took the opportunity to kiss her on the face, but Chiba touched his lips and said, "Where did you say this for a day, and I don't know how to drink saliva, my lips are chapped." ”

"Hurt you?"

"I feel sorry for you." Chiba cleaned up for him neatly, and when he talked about the events of the day, he sighed that Huili and Xiangtai finally made their words clear, but she was also strange, "I don't know what happened in the palace today, and I don't know what Uncle Huang said to Xiangtai, he actually went to the mighty general's mansion to kneel down to apologize to the old general, it's really unimaginable." ”

Dingshan said: "The entire imperial city guards are now under the control of Uncle Han, the emperor is afraid, and it may be difficult for Xiangtai to get out of the palace in the future." ”

Chiba Qi said: "But now Xiangtai is going to ask for the mighty general, didn't Uncle Han expect the emperor to take this step." ”

Dingshan said: "What he may be thinking about is something bigger, Rong Heng has already sent news, and the news that the eight hundred miles of urgency was transmitted to the capital before his informant, which is really unusual." On his way to the northwest, he met people who were carrying news to the northwest, and he did not arrest them, but planned to follow the vine to find out. It's just so coincidental that a few people happened to sneak into the border, so he took the opportunity to report to the court. ”

Chiba understood it, so the eight hundred miles of urgency was originally fabricated, and the purpose was to transfer Rong Heng out of the capital? After Hall Master Zhang's wife and children were rescued last month, those people suddenly disappeared, and she had a stirring in her mind and asked Dingshan: "Will there be a day when they will also want to transfer you away?" ”

Dingshan said: "Rong Heng is a general, he will be chaotic if he is not in the army, but we are not an army, and I don't need to bow down to everything." But if I really have to go in person, I'll take you with me. ”

Unexpectedly, Chiba shook his head: "If you are traveling in the mountains and rivers, you dare not take me to try, but that day I was held hostage by Hall Master Zhang, I understood that I have no power to restrain the chicken, and I should not be involved in your affairs casually." I can't help anything, taking care of myself is the biggest help. Isn't it? ”

Dingshan didn't dare to nod, the husband and wife have been together for a long time, and they have become more and more aware of each other's tempers, if he nods, Chiba must have deliberately said that he has no conscience and treats her as a burden, she will occasionally deliberately play petty like this, Dingshan knows that this is the love between husband and wife, so he will deliberately not follow Chiba's will and not give her a chance.

Seeing her husband holding back a smile, Chiba twisted a handful on Dingshan's face: "You are getting worse and worse, and your mind is all about dealing with me." ”

The two of them kept warm for a while, and when they were about to fall asleep, Dingshan said: "The emperor is sick, do you know?" ”

Chiba was surprised that Xiangtai didn't say a word when he came.

Joyama hugged Chiba to sleep: "Every day I go to sleep in the future, I don't know what I have to face at dawn, I hope that such days will pass as soon as possible." ”

Chiba pressed against her husband's chest and said firmly: "I won't be afraid, I'm not afraid of anything with you, you just need to remember that I will be on your side at all times, and I will only be allowed to stand by your side alone." ”

In the deep palace, it should have been a quiet moment at night, but dozens of people in Fengyi Palace lit lanterns out of the palace, and a long queue came, as if a fire dragon wandering in the palace, until the door of the Fang Guifei Palace did not stop, the eunuch and the palace maid in front of the door were knocked to the ground, and the queen proudly entered the door, only to see Fang Guifei standing at the bottom of the steps, respectfully saluting: "Niangniang, the emperor has been sleeping, please come back tomorrow." ”

The queen said: "The emperor is sick with the dragon, and the palace is not at ease when he is next to you, so he specially came to pick up the emperor and go to Fengyi Palace to recuperate, you get out of the way." ”

Concubine Fang puffed up her chest and said: "The emperor has a decree, only to stay here with the concubines, and not to go to other places, if Niangniang wants to see the emperor, she can see it tomorrow, and at this moment, please go back and rest early." ”

The queen stepped forward in a few steps, with the domineering spirit of the queen of the middle palace, and stood with Fang Guifei staggered shoulders, neither of them could see each other's faces, but her words were so cold: "Do you think that this palace can't help you, do you think that for more than 20 years, this palace can't fight you?" ”

"Niangniang laughed, the concubine has always respected Niangniang, and Niangniang is even more considerate to the concubine." Fang Guifei pressed the hesitation in her heart, and said calmly, "How dare the concubine be disrespectful to the mother, the concubine is on the emperor's holy decree, so she dares to block here, if the mother wants to force in, the concubine can't stop it, but what the concubine should do, she must try her best to do it." ”

"So you're not going to stop me?"

"Yes, but the mother openly disobeys the holy decree, and it won't sound good if it spreads."

The queen sneered: "Do you think that your people here will be destined to spread the news of what happened tonight?" ”

Concubine Fang took a step back, and she could see the queen's face, and she smiled: "There are gods three feet above your head, and the concubines are in awe of the gods." ”

The queen looked at her directly, stepped forward and said, "I hope that after you die, you can become a god, not a wandering soul." ”

She turned around and bypassed Concubine Fang, and was about to walk to the inner hall, but saw the figure of the young man coming out of the brightly lit palace, and the figure and bearing made the queen suddenly separated from the world, and she involuntarily stopped, her heart jumped suddenly, and Concubine Fang had just said something, and there was a god in her head.

"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother." But as soon as the man spoke, the shock disappeared, this familiar figure was not the person in her heart, but the cowardly son of the cowardly emperor, she actually regarded this useless child as his uncle.

"Father and Emperor Long are sick, and he entrusts his sons and daughters to supervise the country, and from now on, all the affairs in the central palace will be decided by his sons." Xiangtai looked at the queen with awe, "The father and the emperor are sick, it is inevitable to add right and wrong, from today after nightfall, the six palaces are not allowed to leave the dormitory without authorization, and the queen mother abides by it together, the queen mother is majestic in the six palaces, you have done it, and the other concubines will not dare to make trouble." ”

Concubine Fang has inadvertently retreated behind her son, giving birth to Xiangtai so far, in order to survive under the majesty of the queen and her uncle's mansion, even though she retains her arrogance above the concubine, she is always cautious and cautious, and she does not really feel the pride that her son brings her. At this moment, she finally felt that she had not worked hard in vain, but she couldn't get carried away, and what she was looking forward to was a better future.

The man who had always been cowardly suddenly became stronger, more heart-wrenching than the man who had always been strong, and the queen actually stopped in front of this young man, although the entire forbidden palace was under her hands, but ......

"Queen Mother, son-in-law will send you back to Fengyi Palace." Xiangtai is generous and generous, and he steps forward to lead the way.

Concubine Fang also said respectfully: "Niangniang go slowly, the concubine must convey Niangniang's greetings, and tomorrow during the day, I will also invite Niangniang to visit the emperor." ”

The queen was about to say something, but Xiangtai was instructing the chamberlain: "Immediately summon the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to the Tingzheng Palace, there must be no mistake." ”

"Xiangtai, what are you going to do?" The queen's heart tightened.

"Inform the ministers that the sons and daughters will be in charge of the country today, and there is nothing else." Xiang Tai looked at her very usually and asked, "Queen Mother, what do you have to tell the ministers?" ”

The queen was stunned, looking at the respectful and obedient pretended to be by Concubine Fang on the side, which also made her extremely disgusted, her brother repeatedly warned her not to make trouble, otherwise she might fall short, she endured it, and sneered: "Gather the ministers in the middle of the night, they are in a hurry, and they will inevitably alarm the people, and the court is most afraid of the instability of the people." I don't think it's appropriate, it's not too late to inform the ministers tomorrow morning, why are you in such a hurry. ”

"What the queen mother said is very true, the queen mother, the son-in-law will send you back to Fengyi Palace." Xiangtai inadvertently emphasized again and asked the queen to go back immediately.

"You don't have to send it, let's rest early." The queen snorted, and took the eunuch and palace maid away, she ate the closed door and fell into the void, she wanted to control the emperor under her own hands, but if she didn't tear her face, she really couldn't do anything to the mother and son, her brother warned her not to make trouble now, don't give them any chance to bite back, she can only endure.

It's just that now, the Fengyi Palace is empty, the niece doesn't come often, and the daughter has forgotten her parents in her princess's mansion for a long time, she never felt lonely before, but when she saw Fang Guifei standing beside her son with peace of mind, the queen found that she had no support. Husband, daughter? Brother, nephew? She shook her head, and suddenly remembered the figure of Xiangtai Fangcai, the appearance outlined under the light, it was really like back then.

When she forced her husband to instigate the prince to go on the expedition and sent him to the point of no return, when she strangled her half-sister with her own hands, the last struggle of the slut was clearly in front of her eyes, and the back of the queen's hand still had traces of nail scratches. Her sister is a woman who is very few, if she is still alive, even if she only has a daughter of Chiba, she will have the ability to keep her husband's life's work.

And the queen can only accompany her cowardly husband to hide in the corner, forever living in the shadow of others.

That night, the whole capital was spent in peace, but the next morning it was bright, and the defenders stood on the city wall and were frightened and weak, and one after another news was sent in, and the mighty army quietly entered the border of the capital overnight, and nearly 50,000 soldiers were encamped nearby. They did not enter the city or retreat, and in the place where they could see from a distance while standing in front of the city gate, they were training their troops and horses in the early morning, which made the soldiers of the defending army panic.

But the soldiers under the command of the mighty general, many times to pacify the civil strife, won the hearts of the people, they made a noise of tens of thousands of people outside the capital, the common people instead felt that the peace of mind, since the people's hearts are not in turmoil, the ministers have nothing to say, the four princes of the country are sitting on the side of the dragon chair, ordered: "The defenders of the capital shall not interfere with the march and training of the mighty army, and you should also train cavalry and archery." ”

The four princes of the prison country, majestic and impressive, are diametrically opposed to the weak and quiet on weekdays, after all, he is the future emperor of the imperial family, and the ministers who are not attached to the Korean uncle will inevitably support him, and the two factions in the court are gradually divided, and those who are attached to the Korean uncle know that something big will happen, while others hope that the new monarch can bring hope to this lifeless court.

Joyama saw Xiangtai's bearing, no matter whether he could become a wise monarch in the future, but at least if such a person liked his sister two years ago, maybe he could even let go of the prejudice of not letting his sister marry into the emperor, naturally this is just a thought, and there are many, many things to do next.

He didn't understand the emperor before, why he had to fight to the death with Shendingzhai, but now he understands that the emperor just wants to do something he can do and the people who control him will agree to what he does, which is ridiculous and helpless, Dingshan has long ceased to have any hope for that mediocre king.

What shocked him even more was that after returning home that day, he received news from Rong Heng, Rong Heng found out that there may be something else behind the death of the prince, and there may be other hidden circumstances behind the prince's expedition. When Joyama saw the news, he was full of worries, if Chiba knew that her parents were all killed one day, would she really be able to bear it?

She thought that the crown princess had abandoned herself and hated her for so many years, she thought that her father had sacrificed his life for the country and died on the battlefield, and she had been proud for so many years. But now everything is the opposite, such a truth, should you tell Chiba in the end?

Joyama was in a daze with the letter, Chiba happened to come with Hatsuchu, he hurriedly hid the letter, and his daughter jumped into his arms, Hatsuha was already able to say a few words vaguely, and she was calling her father to go to dinner at this time.

But children are easily attracted by new things.,At the beginning of Dingshan's arms,Reach out to play with things on the table.,Chiba hated her for being disobedient.,The little girl is even more energetic.。 At the beginning, he drilled in Dingshan's arms like a fish, and Dingshan had a lot of strength on weekdays, but he didn't dare to hold his daughter for fear of injury, and the little guy suddenly threw himself on the desk and pushed a stack of books to the ground.

Chiba said angrily: "Look at it, no matter how naughty the mother is, she is going to be angry, and she is becoming more and more disobedient." ” 》≠》≠，

But such a big child will not be obedient at all, but will become more and more excited because of his mother's anger, the little guy giggled in his father's arms, and grabbed the letter that Rong Heng had just sent with a random grasp of his hand.

Joyama saw Chiba leaning over to pick up the book, and hurriedly snatched the letter from his daughter's hand and hid it, Chu Chu was frightened by his father's rough behavior, and immediately grinned and cried, but she didn't speak, just crying, and Joyama said Chiba: "Don't always murder her, you can cry again if you see it." ”

Chiba felt so strange, Chu Chu was clearly laughing, so he could only hug his daughter over and coax her, but Chu Chu kept pointing to Dingshan, the original intention was to get back the paper and continue to play, Chiba thought that her daughter wanted her father to hug her, and then stuffed Chu Chu into Dingshan, Dingshan had to find a piece of letter paper for the child, and Chu Chu finally stopped crying.

The husband and wife were relieved and laughed at each other's uselessness, and Chu Chu was already sitting alone on the carpet tearing pieces of paper and having fun.

Chiba neatly cleaned up the messy desk for her husband, and said angrily: "I still don't bring my daughter to the study, she always makes a mess for you, and when she turns around, she loses and tears up any important documents, and you can't bear to beat her if you want to." ”

Dingshan smiled: "How can I blame her, you bring her, otherwise I won't see Chu Chu a few times a day." ”

Chiba put down the book in his hand and pointed to the designated mountain: "You see, she stuffed paper balls into your clothes at some point, turned around and stuffed some messy things, and was laughed at when she went out." With that, Chiba reached over and asked for the letter that Joyama had hidden in his arms.
