"Because my brother is determined to win!" Cheng Ye replied: "As the saying goes, generals will not be subject to foreign military orders. What's more, isn't it a beautiful thing for the courtiers to seize the territory of Western Xia for the emperor? Besides, if the Western Xia Kingdom launched a war, could it be that the land and compensation would be able to end the war as he wished? ! ”

"Ridiculous! You are blatant disobedience! Cheng Qian said, looking at Cheng Ye. Cheng Ye's wolf-like eyes made him very unhappy.

"Weichen is for the sake of the majesty of Xiling and the status of Xiling. If the emperor feels that the ministers have disobeyed the emperor, he can deal with the ministers, and the ministers will be punished! Cheng Ye spoke, and his words were a little determined.

In the six months since he was on the border of Western Xia, Cheng Ye has made great progress in the art of war, martial arts, and courage. Nowadays, he has the demeanor of a general. Even in front of Cheng Qian, his aura was not weak at all.

He was also very sure that Cheng Qian would not punish him at this time. He was a hero who pacified Western Xia and opened up the territory, and if he was punished at this time, he would definitely be criticized.

"Now, Prince Chun's ability and courage have also grown." Cheng Qian sat upright from his chair and asked, "Now, how is the Western Xia royal family?" What's wrong with Lee Hyun?! ”

"Back to the emperor, the Western Xia royal family refused to surrender and had been beheaded by the sword of Weichen; General Lee was seriously wounded and temporarily stayed at the border to recuperate. ”

"Your courage is getting bigger and bigger." Cheng Qian regretted that he had been transferred to the Western Xia border in the first place. Now, he has actually trained him to become a wolf: "After becoming a deputy general, can you be good at martial arts?"

"Although the martial arts of the younger brother are not as advanced as the imperial brother, but if you think about it, you can barely learn a few tricks with the imperial brother."

"Why don't you try?" Cheng Qian asked.

On the martial arts field, Cheng Qian took off the dragon robe he always wears on weekdays and changed into a dark robe. Cheng Ye was wearing a silver robe and a jade crown. The two of them held wooden swords, standing opposite each other, the wind rose, and the robes flew over, and they were thousands of graces.

The two glanced at each other, and suddenly rushed forward at the same time, tangled together. The wind was howling, and everyone called Cheng Ye to move sharply, and his heart also raised his throat.

First, everyone was worried that the emperor was injured; Second, Cheng Ye has always been dissolute and uninhibited, when the first emperor was there, he tolerated him everywhere, and now that Cheng Qian is in power, if Cheng Ye provokes the emperor's anger, I am afraid it will not end well.

"Oh no! Oh no! Bing'er shouted and entered Mingyang Palace: "Niangniang, the emperor and the seventh prince compete in the school field." Listening to Xiao Lizi, the emperor and the seventh prince are fierce, do you want to persuade the mother? No surprises! ”

"What?!" Su Wenmei was startled and walked towards the Qianzheng Palace: "This seventh prince was originally in Western Xia, why did he suddenly come back?"

"Niangniang, it is said that the Seventh Prince violated the emperor's will and captured the Western Xia without permission, and now he can return to Beijing to report on his work!" Bing'er replied truthfully.

Conquer Western Xia! Su Wenmei was startled, stopped and turned her head to look at Bing'er: "What about Jin Wuqi and Jin Wuyan?" How's it going now? ”

Bing'er shook his head: "It is said that the Western Xia royal family has not left a single living mouth."

Su Wenmei felt a little sad in her heart. Jin Wuqi and Jin Wuyan are both very good people, and Jin Wuyan was also named the Mingyi County Lord of the Xiling Dynasty. Now, it's ending like this.

Cheng Qian's two fought fiercely, and when Su Wenmei arrived, Cheng Ye's sword was about to stab at Cheng Qian.

"Your Majesty!" Su Wenmei was startled and couldn't help shouting. was about to remind him to be careful, but he was distracted and looked towards Su Wenmei.

Cheng Ye's sword couldn't be contained for a while, Cheng Gan blocked it, and the wooden sword slashed at Cheng Gan's arm. Although it is a wooden sword, it is solid wood, and the strength of both of them is not shallow. Immediately, there was a bruise on Cheng Qian's arm.

Of course, no one can see through the sleeves. Cheng Qian was in pain and retreated.

"Your Majesty!" Su Wenmei was startled, stepped forward, and helped him. Seeing this, Cheng Ye also knelt on one knee: "The minister is guilty, but he asks for punishment."

Cheng Qian got up and put his arm around Su Wenmei with one hand, as if he was declaring sovereignty between his movements: "Go!"

The generals who have always returned triumphantly have all been knighted. Only this time the Seven Princes recovered Western Xia and entered the palace to report on their work, but the emperor did not punish or reward. The courtiers discussed the matter one after another, speculating on the intentions.

Cheng Qian, on his side, had already sent spies to monitor Prince Chun's every move.

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Li Zi entered the Qianzheng Palace, Cheng Qianping retreated left and right, and lowered his voice: "The spies came to report that when the Seventh Prince was in Western Xia, he assassinated the commander Li Xian and seized the military power!"

What the?! Rao is Cheng Qian was also really taken aback: "He has such a big courage!"

"Your Majesty, this time the Seventh Prince came back, not only seized the military power, but also concealed the assassination of the general, it seems that his heart can be punished! The emperor should prepare early. ”

"Immediately mobilize 100,000 Imperial Forest troops and ambush them outside the palace." Cheng Qian clenched his fists, as if he was making a decision: "Summoning the imperial concubine into the palace."

"Yes." Xiao Lizi didn't quite understand, at this time, what to do when Concubine Wen was summoned into the palace, but she did it.

In the evening, Su Wenmei finished dinner, asked the imperial doctor to get a box of ointment to treat bruises, and returned to Mingyang Palace, where she saw Xiao Lizi waiting outside the palace gate. Behind her, she was still followed by Chen Yan and Bing'er.

"The slave sees the imperial concubine!" Xiao Lizi kowtowed: "The emperor is in a hurry to summon you, you should go quickly."

"Hmm!" Su Wenmei said: "It just so happens that I want to see him too, so I'll go." The ointment in Su Wenmei's hand was taken for Cheng Qian. The man was wounded, and he was always rough.

Inside the main hall.

Su Wenmei entered the hall, but the hall was empty and terrifyingly quiet. Cheng Qian stood on the stone platform in the hall, with his back to her.

She walked to the front of the main hall gently: "The concubine will see the emperor."

After a long time, Cheng Qian turned around and looked at her with red eyes: "When did your affair with the Seventh Prince begin?!"

Personal relationship? Su Wenmei raised her head: "Your Majesty, you have been demoted to the border for half a year, how can the concubine have a personal relationship with him?"

"Really?" Cheng Qian approached her step by step: "The women in the palace should always abide by their duties. It wasn't because of you that he was transferred to the border in the first place! If you go out of the palace to meet him privately, it is a taboo as a concubine! ”

"But why did you go out of the palace to see him on the day he returned?" Cheng Qian walked up to Su Wenmei, squatted down, and stared at her.

"Your Majesty! I didn't! Su Wenmei argued.

"No?" Cheng Qian asked rhetorically: "But I heard that on the day Prince Chun came back, you were pulling and pulling with him on the street, and you were still red-eyed?!" Are you resentful of me and transferring him to Western Xia? ”

The day you come back? Su Wenmei thought about it: On that day, it was obvious that she went to the Zhou Mansion by herself to fulfill her last wish for Qian Hui. I cried and red-eyed, and it was only because of Qian Hui.

But she can't say anything about Qian Hui.

"Your Majesty, the concubine left the palace that day and her eyes were red, it was really because of something else."

Cheng Qian was silent and did not speak.

"If the emperor insists on suspicious of his concubines, he can kill his concubines with a rod in the name of adulterous concubines. Or, the concubine volunteered to cut her hair and become a nun! Su Wenmei said, untied the phoenix hairpin on her head, and the green silk of the waterfall invaded and flowed down.

"I will allow you to cut your hair and become a nun, and then, can you even mess with the Seventh Prince? He has a heart of rebellion, do you know?! Cheng Qian stepped forward, squatted down, and pressed her shoulders with both hands: "You! Life is my person, and death can only be my ghost! ”

"Someone!"

Xiao Lizi was outside the main hall, and when he heard the voice, he came into the hall: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"The imperial concubine committed a crime and colluded with foreign ministers. Put it in the water prison for the time being, and make a decision tomorrow. Cheng Qian made a will.

"Yes." Xiao Lizi beckoned the guards outside the hall to come forward, escorted Su Wenmei, and walked towards the water prison.

Bing'er and Chen Yi were in the Mingyang Palace, until late at night, and Su Wenmei did not come back, so they sent someone to investigate, only to learn: Su Wenmei offended the emperor for some reason, so she was imprisoned.

As for where they were held, no one would say.

Concubine Yu was in Jingming Palace, and when she heard that Su Wenmei was detained, she was also a little gloating.

As early as a few days ago, it was a little strange for her subordinates to see Su Wenmei wearing plain clothes, only taking Bing'er alone, walking in front of the palace gate. So she sent her subordinates who knew a little martial arts to follow her all the way, and sure enough, she saw him and the Seventh Prince meeting on the street.

Later, Xiao Lizi came out to investigate, and it was also her person who took the initiative to report in front of Xiao Lizi.

originally thought that the emperor did not take this matter to heart. She waited for many days to give up on the idea, but she got such good news. It's been a good idea lately! If she knew where Su Wenmei was being held, she would definitely not let her live so comfortably.

The water dungeon was gloomy and cold, surrounded by four water dragons, constantly spurting water from its mouth. There are four pools below, and during the period of the first emperor, many concubines who made mistakes in the affairs of men and women were secretly imprisoned here, and even worse, they were forcibly pressed into the pool by the guards and drowned.

Su Wenmei was imprisoned in a water prison by several people, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a while. This afternoon, she also brought Cheng Qian, who was injured in the arm, back to Mingyang Palace and talked a lot to him.

Cheng Qian always said that it was just a small injury, and refused to let the imperial doctor take a look, and she specially went to get medicine for him. Now, before the medicine has been delivered, she has been thrown into a water prison.

People often say that a companion is like a tiger, and she originally didn't believe it. Now, I have finally seen it.

The water prison was cold and cold, Su Wenmei listened to the sound of the water in the water prison, and couldn't help but tighten her sleeves, huddle in a corner with her hands on her shoulders.

I don't know how long it took, but she felt sleepy, so she put her hands on her shoulders, and the chick nodded like a peck of rice, and she was about to fall asleep.

"Bang!" I don't know who knocked open the door of the water prison, Su Wenmei was suddenly awakened and looked behind the door. It's Chen! She was shocked that Chen Yan would come to save her at this time.

"!" Chen Yan stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and clasped his fists with both hands: "The emperor has made an order to imprison you in the water prison, you can't get out unless you die, let the mother go with the slave!"
