"The Imperial Driver?" Yongning heard these four words, and his heart suddenly tightened.

"The emperor said that the imperial court has been fighting for many years, and it has not been able to take enough troops to quell the rebellion, since ancient times to the present, there is no more morale booster than the emperor's personal expedition, even if the left minister and the courtiers are opposed, but the emperor is iron-hearted, and has ordered the military department to prepare."

Yongning lowered his eyes slightly, but did not say a word.

Yuezhu looked at Yongning's complexion and said cautiously; "Princess, did you say that the emperor will bring Concubine Dong's mother and daughter with him on this royal expedition?"

Yongning glanced at her and only whispered out two words; "No, it won't."

"Why? Last time, the emperor attacked Sichuan and Chongqing, but he kept Concubine Dong's mother and daughter with him. Yuezhu was puzzled.

"No matter how good the affection is, it can't withstand such a drain." Yongning's voice was calm, and his eyes looked at the moonlight outside the house.

When Yuezhu heard this, she also felt reasonable, and nodded; "This is also true, Concubine Dong deliberately distanced herself from the emperor, she was listening to the perfume pavilion before, and she never went to the Yuanyi Palace to see the emperor for such a long time, and the slave maid looked at the emperor, and she also faded away from Concubine Dong, and she was no longer as favored as before."

"You see that the emperor is not as good as Concubine Dong before, why is Concubine Dong not like this to him?" Yongning's voice was soft, as if it had come from far away; "The emperor is also a human being, since he is a human being, his heart will always change, and he will be tired."

Yuezhu thought for a moment and said softly; "Princess, I heard that Concubine Dong's mother and daughter have returned to the palace from Langyuan, but they did not live in the Perfume Pavilion, but went to live in the Changhuan Palace. The perfume pavilion is also deserted. ”

When Yongning heard this, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, and after a long time, he said a word; "It doesn't matter if it's deserted, no matter how similar it is, it's not a home after all."

The candle flame in the Yuanyi Hall was not extinguished all night.

Liang Bozhao ordered Zhao Yunping, the general of Zhenbei, to immediately go to northern Xinjiang to garrison, and he wanted to personally lead the troops to quell the rebellion despite the opposition of the courtiers.

He was originally a military general, and he also got the world from horseback, although the imperial court is not sustained, but when he heard that the emperor drove the expedition in person, some old ministers still had peace of mind in their hearts, knowing that Liang Bozhao personally went out to quell the rebellion, but he was worried about the emperor's safety.

After all, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, Liang Bozhao is the founder of the country, and he has no heirs under his knees, let alone a prince, how can he go to the battlefield to make a risk? If he has three longs and two shorts, who can he point to?

Listening to the minister's eloquent talk, Liang Bozhao just spoke; "I know in my heart that I will return safely."

Seeing that Liang Bozhao insisted on pro-conquest, the courtiers finally closed their mouths, and the soldiers stayed up all night to arrange the dispatch of troops, and the Yuanyi Palace went in and out, Liang Bozhao was even more entangled in everything, even on the birthday of the Queen Mother, he never went to Shoukang Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, which provoked criticism from the government and the opposition, and some of the ministers even wrote to the emperor, and the straight emperor violated filial piety and could not set an example for the subjects of the world.

Liang Bozhao took the trouble to belittle a few ministers, and the excerpts on the book gradually decreased.

In this way, I was busy until the day before the expedition.

Wang Gonggong hesitated, walked up to Liang Bozhao, and spoke cautiously; "Your Majesty...."

"What?"

"The Queen Mother just sent someone to say that the Jade Concubine Niangniang has been unstable recently, and the Queen Mother has stayed in the Jade Tea Palace to take care of the Jade Concubine Niangniang's pregnancy for the past two days, and the Queen Mother said.... The emperor is going to go on the expedition tomorrow, if you have time, you might as well go and see the jade concubine. It was easy for the prince to finish these words, his heart was pounding, and while he said, he looked at Liang Bozhao's face, and saw that Liang Bozhao's face was as usual, so he quietly wiped a cold sweat.

Liang Bozhao put down his pen and said lightly; "You have taken a trip for me, and you have comforted the Queen Mother."

"Yes." The prince bowed down and led two chamberlains to hurry towards the Jade Tea Palace.

Liang Bozhao got up, and the attendant on the side hurriedly stepped forward, "What does the emperor command?" ”

"Follow me to the Hall of Eternal Joy." The man's voice was cold, calm to the extreme.

Changhuan Palace.

Jiu'er was already asleep, Ning Xiang stayed aside, and carefully wiped the child's little face, Jiu'er was nearly two years old, and she was naughty and naughty every day, and in the Changhuan Palace, you could hear the child's laughter all day long.

The Queen Mother was quite fond of Jiu'er before, and sent people to send some exquisite gadgets from time to time, and occasionally let people take the child to Shoukang Palace.

Ning Xiang gestured softly, and as soon as she washed the child's little face, she heard from the palace maid that the emperor had arrived.

Ning Xiang was a little stunned, and then came back to her senses, knowing that it was Liang Bozhao who came.

Thinking of those three words, Ning Xiang still felt a sour pain in her heart, she stood up, and was just about to go to greet the holy driver, but Liang Bozhao had already walked in.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and at this time they suddenly met and looked at each other without saying a word.

"Say hello to the emperor." Ning Xiang lowered her head and bowed to Liang Bozhao.

Liang Bozhao stepped forward and stretched out his arm to help Ning Xiang up, but Ning Xiang couldn't help but take a step back and avoid his hand.

Liang Bozhao's face was calm, he only withdrew his arm and spoke; "Get up." After saying that, he walked to the bed and went to see his daughter.

Jiu'er fell asleep sweetly, her beautiful and delicate eyebrows and eyes were like incense, but the straight bridge of her nose seemed to be enough.

Liang Bozhao stretched out his hand and stroked the child's sleeping little face, he thought that his heart was already dead, but it was not until he saw the child at this time that he knew that he was reluctant.

This is his flesh and blood.

"The emperor will go on an expedition tomorrow, tonight, rest early." Ning Xiang's eyes were lowered, and her voice was extremely soft.

Liang Bozhao glanced at her and said in a low voice; "You know I'm going out tomorrow?"

Ning Xiang didn't reply, only nodded.

The emperor drove the expedition in person, such a big event, even if she stayed in the Changhuan Hall with her children and didn't ask about the world, she would still know it from the palace.

Liang Bozhao tucked the corner of the quilt for the child, got up, and said something outside the house; "Bring it in."

As soon as the man's words fell, an attendant held an edict in both hands and respectfully walked into the Changhuan Palace.

Liang Bozhao took the edict, put it on the desk, and spoke to Ning Xiang; "This is the edict of the posthumous seal."

Ning Xiang looked at him and asked softly; "Your Majesty, do you want to make your concubines the queen?"

"Would you like to?" Liang Bozhao looked into her eyes.

Ning Xiang shook her head, her voice was soft, gentle and quiet; "The concubine has no talent, no virtue, and no heirs, so she is not worthy of being this queen, the emperor.... Let's stand up for others. ”

Liang Bozhao looked at her for a long time before he spoke slowly; "What do you want?"

"The concubine only wishes that there is a place where Jiu'er and I can spend this life in peace, and I will be satisfied." Ningxiang's voice was faint.

Liang Bozhao walked towards her, his figure was still tall, the contours of his face were very deep, his eyes were dark, and he finally stretched out his hand slowly, but when he was about to caress Ning Xiang's face, he stopped there.

"Xiang'er, between us, it shouldn't be like this." The man's eyes were deep, with a faint desolation; "I often wonder how you and I got to this point."

Ning Xiang's eyes were sour, and she couldn't help but burst into tears, but she held back her to death. She stabilized her body and only whispered softly, "If the emperor has mercy, please love Jiu'er more, she has a useless concubine like a concubine, and she will be in this palace in the future... I'm afraid... will not be able to protect her. ”

"If you are a queen, how can you not protect her?" Liang Bozhao opened his mouth lightly, his eyes were as sharp as a blade, looking at Ning Xiang's eyes.

Ning Xiang shook her head; "I never wanted to be a queen, you always knew it."

"Yes, all you want is those days in Luokou Village." Liang Bozhao hooked his lips and looked at the woman in front of him, his heart was slowly cold, gray, and cold.

A couple in a lifetime, a wife and children hot kang head, why didn't I seek such a day back then? He handed over the military power, and was willing to marry a folk woman as his wife, just looking forward to being a commoner couple who grew old together.

And back then, how could they not be such a powerless couple? What's the gain? What he got was that he was conscripted by the imperial court to build the city wall, and his wife was separated. And she was bullied by the son of the Zhang family, and she was thin in the stove, if he was not the Marquis of Dingbei, he was really just a rural villager, and injured the son of the Zhang family, where would he still have his life? How can they have good results as husband and wife?

She remembered the first male ploughing and female weaving, but she did not remember the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the sufferings of the people, and she remembered the initial joy, but she forgot that those servants entered the door late at night and escorted him to prison. If he hadn't confided his identity, I was afraid that now the husband and wife would have gone to Huangquan together, and even the Dong family would have been implicated.

He knew in his heart that since the moment he revealed his identity and returned to Jingshi, he could never turn back.

Since there is no turning back, there is only one way to go.

In order not to be bullied by the court, he had to take everything into his own hands, and in order to keep his wife and children, he had to keep getting stronger.

When you are a prince, you are pressed by the prince above, and when you are a prince, you are pressed by the emperor above, even if you become the honor of the Ninety-Five, you still have to be constrained by the old ministers of the previous dynasty, and you can't even set up a wife.

Walking on thin ice, fighting to the death, to the present, to the top of 10,000 people, finally there is no one to suppress them, bully them, but she told herself that she doesn't want this kind of day.

She didn't want to be his queen.

When he fought on the battlefield, he didn't feel tired, and when he was wounded and bleeding, he didn't feel bitter, but until this moment, he was really tired. The tiredness that comes from the depths of my heart spreads to all my limbs.

"Leaving the palace, that kind of life of exile and precariousness, is it really what you want?" Liang Bozhao's voice was low and hoarse, and his black eyes were like the sea.

Ning Xiang lowered her eyes, she didn't speak, her eyes were not bright, and the whole person was haggard and pale.

Liang Bozhao retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice outside the house; "Someone."

"What does the emperor command?"

"Bring pen and paper."

"Yes."

In the blink of an eye, there was a waiter who respectfully presented the pen and paper, Liang Bozhao took the paper, his handwriting was the same as back then, like an iron and silver hook, vigorous and powerful, in a moment, a word has been written.

Ning Xiang looked at him puzzled, Liang Bozhao didn't make a sound, only put the piece of paper and the edict together, and then left the Changhuan Palace.

Ning Xiang trembled her hands and opened the piece of paper after Liang Bozhao left, it was a book of harmony.

If she wants to go, he is willing to do it.
