Wu Fan was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes looked at the graceful woman sitting on the high platform.

I still remember that in the accident six years ago, Xiaohe faced the ruined Horse Mansion, and she still had a six-month-old fetus in her womb and couldn't kneel in the heavy rain.

The princess who used to be infinitely beautiful, the smart woman who used to be a woman in the Jinluan Palace, and the most heroic woman among the thousands of charming women in Nan'an City, now knelt at the door of Cui's house with an expressionless face, her face was mixed with rain or tears, and her plain white clothes were wet by the rain and crumpled and wrapped around her body, making it impossible to imagine that this person was filial piety.

He held the oil-paper umbrella above her head, and said unbearably: "Xiaohe, why do you do this, Your Majesty has always been vigorous and resolute, and you will not change your mind because you can't kneel for a long time." ”

He still remembered the rain running down her cheeks and down her chin, and the columns of raindrops mixed with tears fell to the ground. Nothing was answered, the pale lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, and the original soft side face became extraordinarily resolute that day.

He didn't understand, he didn't understand why, even now, Hyo-ho still loved that person unswervingly, loved that man more than she loved herself. You know, he is her bamboo horse playmate, and when she played games as a child, she clearly said that she would marry him in the future.

Why, did they become the way they are?

Wu Fan said angrily, "In the face of national affairs, is it so important for children to be long?" ”

Xiaohe glanced at him indifferently, his heroic eyebrows were full of sarcasm, "For a traitor and villain like you, you also know what is a national matter?" ”

He never thought that in her heart, she would be the same as a traitorous villain.

Later, according to the secret decree of the Chu Emperor, it was necessary to never suffer in the future. The fetus in Xiaohe's womb must not be left, and Emperor Chu trusted him very much at that time and asked him to do it himself.

On that day, it happened to be the news that Cui Heng had died in the process of exile in the polar regions, and as soon as he entered the door, he could see the hanging couplet, floating in black and white in the air, revealing an indescribable weirdness. Everything in the eldest princess's mansion is white, even she herself is wearing a long black dress and a white beaded flower on her head.

"But it's a big crime for you to set up a private mourning hall for collaborators and criminals?"

Xiaohe regained his previous dignity, as if the embarrassed woman on the rainy night was someone else, his heroic eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, "He sent you?" Killed the child in my womb? ”

He persuaded hard, "Xiaohe, if you want to live, drink this bowl of medicine." ”

Xiaohe raised his eyebrows, waved his hand and knocked over the decoction, and said coldly, "Dog minion, go back and tell your master that the fetus in the womb of this princess is a girl, and no one will teach her to read and write, and no one will teach her to dance with a knife and a gun." Such a woman poses no threat to his throne, but if he insists on doing so, this princess doesn't mind being ruined. ”

Emperor Chu was originally jealous of Xiaohe, so after waiting for four months, he saw that Xiaohe was born to a baby girl, so he did not kill him, leaving Cui Nian with his life.

When he pulled it out of his memory, Wu Fan didn't even have half a word of defense for a while.

When Mrs. Wu saw this scene, her eyes sank, since she married Wu Fan, she knew that her husband had always had another woman in his heart, and he would not really care about anyone. But since she saw Xiaohe, she understood that the concubines in the family, without exception, all had similarities with Xiaohe's eldest princess.

The mother's protection of her daughter is natural, she does not want her husband's love, but she wants to protect her daughter's happiness, and she does not ask her daughter to marry a glorious man, only to marry the person she thinks of in her heart.

If she is allowed to marry far away, according to Xiaoyao's temperament, I am afraid that she will suffer a lot.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wu looked at Jiang Cailing, her softly contoured eyes hid a deep meaning, and replied elegantly, "Lord Gu is a talent, I don't know how many girls have a spring boudoir dream, but the courtiers heard that Lord Gu has already had an engaged wife in Luoyang?" ”

Gu Jiming nodded, "Madame is right, but if you really need the prime minister to choose a marriage for the friendship between the two countries, then the prime minister believes that the fiancée will also be able to understand the righteousness, and it will also benefit the people to be able to reconcile the two countries without spending a single soldier." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Cailing pursed the corners of her lips and suppressed the urge to laugh, Gu Jiming's words were too level. First, he didn't say that the person he wanted to marry was Wu Xiaoyao, nor did he say that he really wanted to marry; Second, standing on the moral high ground, if the Wu family repeats this marriage, it will be disloyal and unjust.

At this moment, there will definitely be people who can't sit still.

Sure enough, Empress Chu had already regretted asking the question just now at this time, and she really lifted a stone and shot herself in the foot. Looking sideways at Emperor Chu, I saw that he was fiddling with the jade wrench on the thumb of his left hand, with his wife's understanding of her husband, Empress Chu already knew, and Emperor Chu was thinking about this matter. I was a little panicked.

After a hundred years of glory, the Wang family has reached the current generation, and most of the heirs are mainly from literature, and there are very few people who hold military power such as generals and commanders. If the Wu family can't be wooed, then Luan Wenzhi's position as the crown prince will not be so stable, not to mention, the decline of the Wang family is something that any Wang family child does not want to see.

Luan Wenzhi still seems to maintain an elegant demeanor, but he is also anxious in his heart, he doesn't like women like Wu Xiaoyao, but in the face of the entire Nan'an City, the only woman who can give him help to fight for the throne is Wu Xiaoyao.

Luan Wenzhi gave the waiter a look, and after the waiter received it, he nodded slightly, and then stood up, "Speaking of Da Zhou's Gu Xiang and his fiancée, the minister heard a very interesting rumor among the people, I don't know if to talk about it?" ”

"Why not?"

"I heard that Gu Xiang's fiancée, Miss He, suddenly went up the mountain four months ago to seek Taoism, and our Ten Imperial Concubines appeared at this point in time, so some people speculate that the Ten Imperial Concubines have actually been living in the Zhou Kingdom all along, and they are Lord Gu's fiancée He Ling'er."

Jiang Cailing didn't panic too much in her heart, she always knew that for many people, it was not difficult to find out who she was before, but this did not mean that the truth must be the truth.

Long before Jiang Cailing returned, Xie Cheng had already asked for a holy decree in front of Emperor Chu.

In Xie Cheng's original words, "I believe that Your Majesty also knows that the daughter of the minister who is in exile is He Ling'er of the He family, but He Ling'er and Prime Minister Gu of the current dynasty fainted, and the minister was worried that some political enemies would use my daughter's reputation to do anything, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to give a holy decree to the old minister." Yunyang She will not admit her previous identity, and His Majesty will not punish her for the crime of bullying the king. ”

Emperor Chu was afraid that Xie Cheng would do something in order to have the opportunity to contain Xie Cheng at that time, so he wrote it down on the holy decree.

So now for Jiang Cailing, as long as she doesn't recognize her as He Ling'er, what can these people do?

Jiang Cailing laughed out loud as if she had heard some joke when she heard this, "Lord Squire, did you deliberately say these words to make Concubine Ben happy because your wife insulted me in the restaurant not long ago?" Haha, Lord Squire, this concubine thinks that when you are accidentally dismissed one day, you can talk about it, and someone will definitely give you some reward at that time! ”

The squire didn't expect Jiang Cailing to be so calm, "The minister didn't believe it originally, but after hearing the description of a businessman from Zhou Guolai, the minister really felt that it was too similar to the Ten Imperial Concubines." ”

Jiang Cailing continued to laugh, stood up and walked in front of the waiter, her face changed, and she slapped the waiter in the face, the fat on the waiter's face trembled and even the beard, and the loud "pop" sound shocked the four.

was slapped in front of so many people, and the squire immediately covered his face and said angrily, "What are the Ten Imperial Princesses doing?" Could it be that he thought that Weichen told the truth, and the Ten Imperial Concubines were annoyed and angry? ”

Jiang Cailing raised her hand and slapped the other side of the waiter's face, this time obviously harder, the crisp slap undoubtedly hung everyone's hearts, and the Dream Garden was so quiet that even the sound of an embroidery needle falling to the ground could be heard.

Emperor Chu half-squinted his eyes and did not say a word; Rao is always disguised under the elegant shell Luan Wenzhi's jaw is tight, revealing a nervous look; Chu Houfeng's eyes stood up, and he asked loudly, "Yunyang, what are you doing here?" ”

Jiang Cailing bent her knees, made a Wanfu Jin'an movement, and then pointed to the squire's nose and said loudly, "Back to the queen's mother, just now Yunyang gave the squire a step, thinking that he was drunk and told the jokes in the market to adjust the atmosphere, and he didn't blame him for slandering my girlfriend's reputation, but I didn't expect the squire to be very sober."

The first slap was given by Yunyang for himself, I have been separated from my father and mother since I was a child, and Shilang, as a colleague of my father Xie Hou, not only did not sympathize with his experience, but spoke ill of Yunyang, which was unjust;

The second slap was Yunyang's face for my Chu, today's banquet was set up for the envoys of the Zhou State Gu and Lord Li, for this banquet, His Majesty and the ladies spent a lot of effort, but they were ruined by Lord Lang's selfish desires, and it was disloyal to lose my face in front of foreign envoys!

Such a disloyal and unrighteous person, Yunyang naturally wants to fight, otherwise he will only make others think that I Chu are disloyal and unrighteous people like Lord Shilang after seeing it, so as to despise the Chu State! If Yunyang's move is wrong, please ask the queen to make it clear! ”

These words were sonorous and powerful, loud and clear, and the words were as convincing as a righteous and awe-inspiring hero, so that Chu couldn't say half of the accusatory words.

An unpredictable look flashed in Luan Wen's eyes, and he began to look at Jiang Cailing again. And Du Nianyu, who had not spoken for a long time on one side, seemed to have seen a ghost, his face turned white, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.

She knew her all too well.

This is clearly Jiang Cailing, the dead Empress Jiang Cailing!
