"Big things are bad...... General, it's not good to ...... big thing."

The messenger who came galloping on horseback exclaimed: "General, something is wrong in the rear!" ”

The sword in Cheng Jun's hand suddenly fell, piercing through the flames and directly into the cold ground under the firewood stack.

"It can't be." Cheng Jun jumped down and took a few steps in the air to drag down the unstable messenger on horseback. "Tell me, what's going on?"

"I don't know where the cavalry came from, taking advantage of the night to attack the rear, and also burned the grain, grass, and camp tents, and now, the old general is in their hands." The soldier's legs were so weak that he couldn't stand at all.

"No way, this can't be." Cheng Jun shouted: "This is a full three days' journey from the rear, Zhuang Chenchen has not left Yecheng at all, how can it be possible to use the talisman to attack the rear overnight, this is absolutely impossible." ”

"General, without further ado, let's hurry up and ......" The entourage next to him had to be reminded.

As soon as his words fell, people dressed in black rushed out from all directions.

For a while, arrows were shot indiscriminately, people turned over on their backs, and the whole camp was reflected in the red firelight, and the sound of fighting shook the sky.

Cen Muning desperately raised her feet, hoping to hold on a little longer.

As long as someone comes, she can be rescued. Strangely, except for a pair of feet, there seemed to be no fire on the body, so that the earlobes were burned, but there was no injury on the body.

"Zhuang Chen!" Cheng Jun suddenly saw the familiar figure, and the anger in his heart erupted from his eyes. "How dare you come?"

"General Cheng, didn't expect it?" Zhuang Chenrao smiled coldly: "Your talisman is the biggest smoke." ”

"I didn't expect that." Cheng Jun picked up the blade on the ground and stabbed at him: "In order to win me, you even sent your own wife to my camp as smoke." Your heart is really hard. ”

Suddenly hearing such words, Cen Muning's heart tightened. It turned out that the person who wanted her to die was Ling Yechen.

How ridiculous it was, she had hoped that he would come and save her. Who would have thought that his original intention was to push her as smoke and send her to death......

It's no wonder that the person who robbed him had such a great ability, and he freely entered and exited the Ruiming Palace, unharmed.

"Soldiers don't get tired of deceit, and don't talk nonsense." Zhuang Chenchen couldn't care so much, and pulled out his sword to fight against Cheng Jun's attack.

Cen Muning's eyes were smoky, and her vision was blurry and she couldn't see everything around her clearly. I'm afraid this is the taste of disappointment, and it is not much better than death. She slowly closed her eyes, and the voice in her ears grew softer and softer, so soft that she couldn't hear it at all.

In the haze, it seemed as if someone had untied the rope and wrapped her cloak around her and got down from the stack.

The moment she saw the firewood stack collapse, her body fell down as if there was nothing to support her, but it didn't hurt.

She had no memory of what happened next.

On the Jinqing Palace.

Zhuang Zhizhou and the ministers, with a kind of heroic eyes, greeted King Ruiming step by step to the center of the main hall.

Zhuang Chenchen bowed his hand and said in a calm tone: "The younger brother is fortunate not to dishonor, quelled the Yecheng Rebellion, and personally brought General Cheng Xun's head back to the palace to repay the emperor's life." ”

As soon as his words fell, Yin Li walked in with a head covered with a bright yellow cloth.

The moment the yellow cloth was lifted, there was an uproar in the hall.

A hint of chill flashed in Zhuang Zhou's eyes, but he turned to appreciation in the shortest time: "Sure enough, you are my good imperial brother, this time, you have made great contributions to my country and the people of Li." ”

"The emperor praises falsely, and the younger brother is just doing his duty." Zhuang Chenchen winked, and Yin Li retreated.

"Very good." Zhuang Zhou smiled: "Three days later, I will celebrate your achievements in this golden palace." It's just that now you're tired, so go home and recuperate. In addition, the Queen Mother and the Concubine also remember you, so you have to go and say goodbye. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhuang Chenchen saluted again, looked around the faces of the courtiers in the hall, and turned to leave.

They all wished he was dead, but they didn't expect him to win so easily.

It's a really good feeling.

The coldness in Zhuang Chenchen's heart was burned by the scorching hatred, and it was bubbling with a gurgling voice.

In Fushou Palace, the Queen Mother and Concubine Zhen waited for a long time before they saw Zhuang Chenchen's figure.

"What does the mourning family say, Lao Jiu is the auspicious person, and it will be fine. Look, isn't that a good time to come back! The Queen Mother endured the disgust in her heart, her voice was tactful, and her face was full of joy.

Concubine Zhen hurriedly walked over to help Zhuang Chen, who was saluting, and said with red eyes: "Hurry up and let the concubine take a look, are you injured?" During the days when you disappeared, did you suffer a lot? ”

Zhuang Chen's face was still cold, and he didn't show any kindness. "The mother and the concubine remember it. Everything is fine with Erchen. ”

"It's also strange to say, Lao Jiu, how did you manage to rush from Yecheng to the rear in one night and kill someone by surprise?" The Queen Mother asked with interest: "The news of your triumph came back to the palace, and the mourning family couldn't believe it when they heard it. Even if it's a thousand miles, it always takes two or three days of effort, but you can finish off the old general who has fought all his life overnight, which is really a skill. ”

"yes." Concubine Zhen is also curious. "How do you plan it, it's better to listen to it with the Queen Mother."

"Actually, those men were lying in ambush behind them early in the morning. Just wait for the moment. Zhuang Chenchen said calmly: "My disappearance is just to delay time and let them deploy as soon as possible." To deliver the message, you can use carrier pigeons. ”

"I see." The Queen Mother smiled faintly: "I can't complain that as soon as I encounter such a big thing, the emperor only trusts you." You are young, but you are brave and good at fighting. In the end, it was the concubine who gave birth to a good son. ”

"Thank you Queen Mother for the compliment." Concubine Zhen smiled from ear to ear: "It has to be the Queen Mother's careful training for many years to be effective." ”

The two of them praised each other without smiling, and Zhuang Chenchen felt tired when he heard it. I didn't leave because he still had something to ask Concubine Zhen.

"The mourning family is a little tired." The Queen Mother didn't understand, so she found an excuse at random: "Go to the inner room to rest." Your mother and son haven't spoken well for many days. ”

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother." Concubine Zhen greeted with a smile.

Zhuang Chenchen also saluted: "Congratulations to the queen mother." ”

The Queen Mother slowly walked out of the inner room with her hand. But inadvertently, I found that Xi Yue was still looking at Zhuang Chen.

"Does the mother have no confidence in her son or is she too confident?" As soon as the Queen Mother left, Zhuang Chenchen's face turned cold. The tone is also full of harshness. "Do you have to add fuel to your own power at a time like this?"

"Hmph." Concubine Zhen sneered: "Do you think you don't have a fox in your house?" When the emperor looked for her, he was about to turn the entire imperial city over, but she could sit back and relax and hide in the mansion to watch the excitement. No regard for your safety. Yechen, such a woman is not worth it for you to turn against your mother for her, right? ”

Zhuang Chenchen also doubted the Queen Mother, but at this time, the mother admitted it, and he settled down. "If Cheng Jun kills Cen Muning, it is just right for the mother's wishes. This daughter-in-law, who you were dissatisfied with from the beginning, will completely disappear in front of your eyes. can no longer become a bargaining chip that Cen Xiangba put in the side of the emperor and the queen mother by his son. If Cheng Jun fails to kill Cen Muning, you will take advantage of the situation to accuse her of being disloyal and unfaithful, and be exiled for a few days, with what to prove your innocence. When the time comes, you will inevitably persuade her to commit suicide, not to tarnish the glory of the Ruiming Palace, the Prime Minister's Mansion and even her mother's mother's family. Right, Princess? ”

It was rare for Zhuang Chenchen to say so many words in one breath, and Concubine Zhen was quite surprised. "Yan Chen, don't tell your mother that you are already in love with her."

"Mother." Zhuang Chenchen stiffened his face, and his eyes were cold: "What my son doesn't like is that you manipulate your son's actions, and it has nothing to do with her." ”

"Really?" Concubine Zhen didn't believe such a statement at all: "Why does the concubine think that you are moved by this unclean wild girl!" ”

"How could she be a wild girl." The corners of Zhuang Chenchen's lips raised slightly: "She is the prime minister's daughter." ”

Concubine Zhen looked at him and said in a slightly heavy tone: "She doesn't deserve to stay by your side." ”

"Whether you are worthy or not, only what my son says himself." Zhuang Chenchen bowed his hand: "The mother concubine is still living in the palace safely, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of the palace." The son prepared a generous gift for his mother and concubine, chatting about filial piety. ”

With that, he turned and left. Yin Li came in with a heavy suitcase, put it down and left.

Concubine Zhen walked to the box with Lei Zhen's hand: "Open it." ”

Lei Zhen nodded slightly, took the lock that was not locked, opened it and looked at it, and suddenly fell to the ground. "Your Highness, what do you mean by this......"

Concubine Zhen gasped and frowned: "This is the person who held Cen Muning hostage, is he warning Concubine Ben!" For the sake of that slut, he has lost his mind! ”

Taking a deep breath, Concubine Zhen continued: "Hurry up and take it away and clean it up, don't let the Queen Mother notice." ”

"Yes." Lei Zhen got up boldly, frowned, closed the box, locked the lock and called someone to carry it out.

"Alas!" Concubine Zhen sighed: "My son can't help it." The Queen Mother and the Emperor have not been on good terms for a long time, and I am afraid that I will follow in her footsteps. ”

Rui Ming's house was unusually quiet.

From time to time, there were soft sobs in the inner room.

"Miss, you're awake." Bingling's voice was a little hoarse, and her eyes were swollen from crying.

Cen Muning opened her eyes and saw her, and couldn't help but be startled: "Bingling, why did you make it like this." My eyes are swollen ......."

"Quick, let the princess drink a glass of warm water." Qingli hurriedly took the mat for her to lean on, and took the water bowl from the maid's hand.

Bingling carefully scooped it with a spoon and brought it to her lips. "Miss just laugh at the slave and maid, as long as you are safe and sound, the slave and maid are crying and blind, and it is worth it."

The warm water entered her throat, and Cen Muning smiled slightly: "Where am I laughing at you, but you are really crying too hard like this." Wait for a good compress on your eyes with ice. ”

"Does Miss feel uncomfortable?" Bingling still feels sorry for her.

"There was a little pain in my feet and calves." Cen Muning frowned, it hurt even more when she said this. "Is the burnt skin and flesh burnt? Will I be able to get out of bed in the future? ”

Qingli snorted and laughed, but his nose was sour when he spoke. "Don't worry, princess, it's just that the skin injury is not tight. It's just that the slave and maid are to blame for disobeying the master's orders and failing to take good care of you. ”

"How can I blame you." Cen Mooning suppressed the sneer in his heart, he said one thing and another, it was done on purpose.

But even the green plough was blinded by it.

This man is too ruthless!
