Chiba seemed to hear something, dreaming uneasily in Joyama's arms, Joyama hurriedly hugged her gently, whispered in her ear, and only coaxed Chiba to fall asleep again, and he showed a relieved smile. Han Jiye looked at it silently, he knew that with this man, Chiba would be very happy in his life.

Dingshan seemed to be afraid of waking Chiba up, so he didn't talk to Han Jiye anymore, and he didn't expect his response, he hugged Chiba and closed his eyes, there were more things to do after dawn.

However, the aftershocks of this night once again affected the capital, and the time has passed at this moment, and the lights can still be seen everywhere in the capital. Everyone is afraid that the disaster will come again, and the rumors that the disaster victims are about to pour into the capital also make people panic, and for a while, the complaints about the court come and go, which makes the emperor who has been diligent and loving the people for many years very frustrated, but he is just a puppet sitting alone on the dragon chair, and he has just raised his eyebrows after many years of dormancy, but even God does not help him.

In the palace of Concubine Fang, dozens of lanterns and candles illuminated the palace up and down, but the emperor neither summoned ministers, nor sang and danced, he just sat alone in the dazzling lights in the dark night, as if he was afraid that others would not see him, as if he wanted to prove his hard work to everyone. But the emperor did not change anything at all.

The tired Concubine Fang stood outside the palace, and when the lights were shining, her son was brought in by the palace maid, and Concubine Fang hurriedly greeted her and reproached: "It's so late, don't go to sleep yet, you don't need you here, if your father sends you to do something tomorrow, you will have no energy." ”

Xiangtai looked solemn and said: "The father and mother are like this, how can the sons and daughters sleep." ”

Concubine Fang pushed him out: "If you can't sleep, you have to sleep, your father's personality ......" She looked back at the lonely figure in the lamplight, and said tremblingly, "When you were young, you were often said to be introverted and cowardly, not like the son of the emperor at all, but I didn't know that your father was born with such a personality, he was originally a cowardly person." Xiangtai, but you still have half of your mother's blood and bones, your mother has guarded you to survive under the queen's obscenity, you must not become a person like your father, don't. ”

"Mother, how can you say that about your father?" Xiangtai couldn't understand it, but he also knew how useless he was in the past.

"Yes, it's not good to be a concubine." Concubine Fang smiled coldly, unwilling to explain more, but summoned the left and right attendants and ordered them to send the four princes back immediately.

Such a movement into the Fengyi Palace, but the queen is indifferent to the emperor, at the moment she is thinking about her nephew who went to the disaster area, she hates the emperor always sends Jiye to a dangerous situation, two years ago to the sea, today and deep into the disaster area, she always feels that the emperor is trying to make her nephew disappear from this world. If it weren't for the fact that her sons swallowed their last breath in her arms due to illness, she would even wonder if the emperor had personally produced her own flesh and blood, so as to prevent the bloodline of their Han clan from inheriting the throne in the future.

Han Yuerou, who lived in the side hall, couldn't sleep, and through the window, she could see her aunt's figure wandering in the hall from a distance. Who knows, the queen above 10,000 people under one person, the most noble woman in the world, her figure is so desolate and lonely, Han Yuerou is afraid that one day, she will also become like an aunt, after all, they are all daughters of the Han family.

But the Han family also has a daughter, aunt and father's half-sister, she died in her twenties, but the legend left in this world is so beautiful, the world says that the prince loves her like a treasure, there is no concubine in the prince's mansion, and there is no second woman by the prince's side except for the princess. Although she died, while she was alive, there was no one happier in this world than her.

Up to now, the youngest daughter they left behind is also married, an orphan who has been bullied, but she has also met the man who loves her the most in the world, maybe life is the most important thing, but living a long life of hard and loneliness, if a short life can be full of happiness, at least in Han Yuerou's opinion, she would rather choose the latter. At this moment, Han Yuerou was very panicked, she was afraid that she would inherit the queen's sorrow, even if Ji Qianye's life would be short, but after all, she had experienced the best thing in the world.

"What the hell am I inferior to her......" Han Yuerou's hand clutched the window lattice tightly, until her nails were as hard as the wood, and she felt that she woke up, but she was self-serving, "What she has, I want it too, I want it too." ”

The sun rises and the moon sets, the darkness finally recedes, and the sleeping Chiba was awakened by Dingshan, she was sore and weak, but seeing Han Jiye on the side, a spirit woke up, remembered everything that happened last night, and got up to help Dingshan support Han Jiye neatly, and at this moment, the brothers of Shendingzhai had put down the rope ladder and were ready to pick them up early.

Dingshan tied Chiba to his back, while Han Jiye was carried by the brothers in the village, and they carefully climbed up the rocks, but fortunately, the hillside was not high, and it was precisely because it was not too high that Chiba and Han Jiye were able to save their lives. Last night, a bonfire was lit in Dingshan, and Chu Ge understood that they were okay from above, so he identified the location of the bonfire, laid down a rope ladder there, and waited for the dawn to pick people up.

After landing safely, seeing that there were many brothers who came out together, and seeing Chu Ge in front of him, Chiba excitedly stepped forward and hugged Chu Ge, choking up without a breath: "Chu Ge, I thought I would never see you again." ”

Chu Ge's hands were stiff, and he hugged Chiba very slowly, it seemed that it was the first time they had such an intimate hug, and the awkward person didn't push Chiba away, but when Chu Ge's eyes met with Dingshan, he suddenly became cold, hurriedly pushed Chiba away, and only said, "If it's okay, let's go." ”

Dingshan saw the strangeness in Chu Ge's eyes, and he remembered that Chu Ge didn't let him smear Qianye last night, and the scene at that time was not calm, Chu Ge thought about the overall situation, and there was nothing wrong with that. But after all, they had emotional entanglements, and some people might think that Chu Ge didn't want Chiba to come back alive at all, but with Dingshan's mind, he would never look at Chu Ge like this, and Chu Ge was not that kind of person.

Chiba has always known that Chu Ge has an awkward temperament, and he won't care about it at this time, everyone is safe and sound is the best result, packed up his things, the brothers made a simple stretcher for Han Jiye, and the group went to the capital. But Han Jiye's leg was not lightly injured, so as not to worsen the injury, after finding the hospital along the way, Dingshan personally straightened his bones and carefully tied and fixed them, and prescribed a decoction to the doctor, and boiled it for Han Jiye to take when he rested all the way. This greatly alleviated Han Jiye's injuries and pain, but the return journey was too slow, and it took two days and two nights to come, and he walked back for four days.

In the early morning of the fourth day, they arrived at the gate of the capital, and the defenders of the city came forward to interrogate, and when they saw that it was the eldest prince of the uncle's mansion, they hurriedly opened the city gate. Not to mention that they returned all the way, they walked with many victims, but the officers and soldiers along the way intercepted, and they were also interrogated a lot, and the vigilance was more strict than when they came, and the imperial court did not spend any effort to help the victims, but on the way to curb the influx of disaster victims into the capital, so put the cart before the horse, if there is a major epidemic after the disaster, the consequences are unimaginable.

At this hour, it was time to go to the court in the political hall, and Dingshan discussed with Han Jiye that he should go straight to the court to advise the emperor. However, the people of the Han Mansion heard the movement and knew that Han Jiye was seriously injured, so they immediately sent a family member to intercept him, and Han Jiye was not allowed to enter the palace no matter what, and a carriage forcibly took him back.

Originally, with Han Jiye's status in the court, his advice to the court was shocking enough, after all, he was the heir of the Han Mansion, not to mention whether he would be the emperor in the future, he was also the master of everyone under his uncle in the future. Those ministers will be able to figure out the severity, and maybe they will be able to work together to discuss disaster relief, instead of ignoring the lives of the victims in order to help the Korean uncle show the emperor the color. On the contrary, even though Dingshan is upright, he is still soft-spoken, and he is not even qualified to be impassioned in the court.

Seeing that Han Jiye was forcibly taken away, Dingshan sighed: "He was originally an ambitious and open-minded person, different from others. ”

When Chiba heard this, she watched the carriage of the Han Mansion go away, and at this moment she should have been taken home by Chu Ge. Chu Ge was already waiting on the side, although she didn't know why she was upset, but she had more time to keep a straight face all the way than before, and Qianye secretly thought that it was because she had an accident that caused them trouble that made Chu Ge unhappy, so she also restrained herself a little, and didn't dare to speak to Chu Ge all the way.

"Let's go back and figure it out later." Joyama got off the horse and wanted to sit in the same carriage with Chiba, but Chiba suddenly said, "I'll accompany you into the palace, Joyama, I'll accompany you to the court." ”

Dingshan was stunned for a moment, Chu Ge was also inexplicable, but Chiba said: "I am the princess of Anguo, I should be working for the welfare of the people, although women are not allowed to interfere in politics, but I am not interfering in court politics." Joyama, let me go and tell Uncle Huang that no matter how late it is, the disaster will get worse and worse, and we have been walking for so many days, and I don't know what it will be like there. If Uncle Huang hears it, he will hear it, and if he is annoyed, he will not do anything to me. But in this matter, someone must wake them up. ”

The brothers who traveled with him seemed to be infected by Chiba's blood, looking more excited than Joyama, picking up the most spiritual horse, and stuffing the horse whip to Joyama, they were righteous men, and they didn't feel that Chiba was robbing the man's credit, but it was as if he was respecting the dignity of Princess Chiba for the first time, maybe for them, the princess just meant pampering, but she was reincarnated in the emperor's family, and it was useless for the family and the country. But Chiba made them change this concept unconsciously.

Dingshan didn't hesitate any longer, hugged Chiba on horseback, sat down with her own protection, and after glancing at everyone, he raised his horsewhip and ran towards the palace.

At this moment, the palace is as lifeless as ever, there is no chaos in the country, there is no chaos in the court, but there is no hope in sight.

When the emperor saw that the ministers were still like this, he wanted to retreat from the court, but the chamberlain suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, Princess Anguo and the concubine are waiting for the decree outside the palace gate and asking for an audience." ”
