Chapter 139: It's Cold in the Heights
Helian Jing's news soon spread back to Kyoto, but he didn't mention that Lin Jinwen had come to find Zhao Huaiyan, and only said that he would come back early.
In the palace of the first moon, after getting the news, the atmosphere in the entire palace cooled down.
Mama looked at Xianyue, who was sitting in the room and was playing the qin, and carefully told the news, before asking in a low voice: "The prince should be in the capital in three or five days, what do you need to prepare?" ”
"Three or five days...... Xianyue's eyes were cold, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised: "My father hasn't appointed the seventh emperor brother as the crown prince?" ”
"Never ......"
"It's coming." Her eyes darkened slightly, and she continued to pluck the strings, but the strings suddenly broke, cutting her fingers, and the bright red blood dripped on the dark surface, which was dazzlingly red.
She looked at the blood, and raised the corners of her lips shallowly, and soon her father would even give up the throne.
Concubine Jiang was outside the emperor's bedroom at this time, standing at the gate of the palace, and she never went in for a long time.
The emperor also knew that she was outside the palace gate, but he did not summon her.
The father-in-law saw that he was still reviewing the piles of musicals, and he couldn't bear to say: "Your Majesty, you can rest for a while, I've been watching it for a long time today, and you only slept for two hours last night." ”
"I can't sleep." The emperor smiled, with a bit of desolation: "If you sleep for an extra hour, you will waste an hour." I have time, and I want to take care of all these things. After the Chinese New Year, the crops of the people in the north have been plagued by insects, and now they have no money to plant seedlings, so I must quickly arrange reliable ministers to allocate disaster funds; The people in the south have been hit by the plague this year, and there are also many people who have fled the famine because of the war......" He didn't finish his sentence, and he coughed again.
The father-in-law was distressed, and hurriedly handed him tea: "If the emperor is really not at ease, it is better to divide these things to the princes below." The second prince and the third prince are not young, and they have also done some positions. ”
"Although they have the heart, they can't keep up." The emperor smiled lightly: "The court officials are slippery, and the treasury is not full, if I am in charge of it, and all the money in the treasury is collected into my own pocket by the ministers below, how many people will die this year?" ”
The father-in-law sighed lightly in his heart, this emperor is really a good emperor, but he can't support it for a few days.
Just thinking about it, there were words from outside that Concubine Jiang asked to see her.
When the emperor heard this, he only raised his hand: "Let her go back, I don't want to see her for the time being." ”
"Yes." The little eunuch immediately responded, but he was very surprised, the emperor used to love Concubine Jiang so much, no matter what he was doing, as long as Concubine Jiang asked to see, he would definitely agree, but now he refused three or five times in a row.
The father-in-law was also a little puzzled, and also saw the emperor's reluctance, and asked softly; "Your Majesty, why don't you want to see Concubine Jiang?"
The emperor looked at him and smiled, leaned back tiredly, held the piece and gently grabbed it in his hand, and then said: "Concubine Jiang came here, just for the sake of establishing a prince, I have the heart to hand over the position to Qi Ye, but now that the old seventeen is also back, what do you say I should do." ”
"Your Highness Seventeen, is he also going to come back to take the throne?"
"He may not be interested in the throne, but after so many years of grievances and the pain he has endured in the Valley of Hundred Poisons, I don't know if he will complain." The Emperor sighed lightly. The former eldest grandson Xuanyin was clear and simple, but as the most noble and favored prince, after being framed and driven out of Western Xia, he didn't know if he still maintained that pure heart. If the throne is handed over to Qi Ye, what if he wants to get in the way? Qi Ye's inability to sit on the throne is a disaster for the imperial court, and it is also a disaster for the people who are now in dire straits.
Natural disasters are still complaining about the sky, but what about man-made disasters?
When the father-in-law heard this, it was difficult to say more, but the emperor had already drafted the edict, he knew it, and everyone was waiting for that day.
At this time, Concubine Jiang outside the palace, after hearing the little eunuch's refusal, only said lightly: "Good life to take care of the emperor." ”
"Don't worry, mother."
Concubine Jiang glanced at the palace that refused to enter her, and turned away shallowly.
She knew that as soon as the eldest grandson Xuanyin came back, the emperor would be soft-hearted and hesitant.
"Niangniang, do we want to meet the Seventh Emperor, after the emperor has seen His Highness the Seventeenth, it seems that he has only summoned His Highness the Seventeenth." Mama on one side.
"He definitely doesn't want to enter the palace to see the concubine."
"That ......"
"Go and prepare, this palace will go to see him in person." Otherwise, this Xixia would not be his. There is Zhao Huaiyan to expand the territory, and when Zhao Huaiyan annexes the Xia Jin Dynasty in the future, the Western Xia will be the largest country in the world, such magnificent rivers and mountains, do you still have to give it to people!
The eldest grandson, Qi Ye, has no feelings for Jiangshan Sheji, he just wants to live alone in the Seven Princes' Mansion.
While sweeping the floor, Fang Bo watched him stand under the only white flower tree in the back room and looked up, and he didn't know what he was looking at. Now the flowers of this tree have withered, and as soon as the warm spring comes, it will pull out the tender green buds, which are lovely and fresh, very eye-catching, are the Seven Princes looking at this?
After he finished sweeping the ground, he took a kettle to water it, and after watering it, he took scissors to build flower branches, and in this way he went back and forth all morning, and the Seven Princes looked motionless all morning.
Fang Bo sighed in his heart, he thought, the Seventh Prince must be thinking about Ah Mu. Amuna child, I don't know what happened now......
"Uncle Fang."
A gentle call came, and Uncle Fang saw that Chang Qing was quietly waving to him under the porch.
He didn't dare to delay, he went over immediately, and whispered like him: "Chang Guard, what's wrong?" ”
"Lau, go and tell the Seventh Prince, Concubine Jiang is here." Since the Seventh Prince accepted Amu's desire to marry King Yue, he has become even more withdrawn, and he doesn't dare to come to him at all now.
"Why don't the guards go by themselves?"
"Aren't I hurt?"
"You hurt your arm, not your mouth. And I see that the guards are talking to me, and it's no problem. Fang Bodao.
Chang Guard looked at Uncle Fang and was speechless for a long time. It wasn't until the eldest grandson Qi Ye walked back by himself that Chang Qing was about to get up and follow, but was stopped by Fang Bo.
Uncle Fang asked him in a low voice, "How is Amu now?" ”
"She is now the emperor's newly adopted daughter, Princess Changle, and she is about to become Princess Yue." After Chang Qing finished speaking, he felt sorry for the eldest grandson Qi Ye, and hurriedly turned his head to follow.
When Uncle Fang heard it, he was happy, Amu also became the princess of Changle? He knew that she was not a simple person, and he didn't know if the child was born.
He thought about it and went back directly, Amu likes to eat the salted plums, and he asked the old woman to make some more.
Fang Boxing left in a hurry, but he didn't know that the eldest grandson Qi Ye hadn't gone far, so he watched him go.
Sometimes he envies Uncle Fang, he has such a good relationship with Amu and can treat her well without scruples......
"Seventh Prince, Concubine Jiang has arrived." Chang Qing whispered to the side.
"Hmm." After hearing this, the eldest grandson Qi Ye walked forward lightly.
Chang Qing wanted to open his mouth to comfort him, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say it, for so many years, even Concubine Jiang had never comforted the Seventh Prince.
When she arrived at the front hall, Concubine Jiang was already standing inside and waiting.
The hall where the guests were received was still the same as that of ordinary people, and the eldest grandson Qi Ye entered the door, and when he saw the person standing indifferently, he stepped forward and saluted: "Mother concubine ......"
"Smack——!
Concubine Jiang turned around and slapped him in the face.
Chang Qing stepped forward anxiously: "Niangniang, the Seventh Prince, he ......"
"Get out there and kneel!" Concubine Jiang said coldly.
Chang Qing gritted his teeth slightly, looked at the Seventh Prince, whose face was still indifferent, gritted his teeth and walked out and knelt in the courtyard.
Concubine Jiang looked at the eldest grandson Qi Ye and said, "You actually risked your life for a woman, and you went out of Kyoto alone for so long, eldest grandson Qi Ye, don't you take my mother concubine in your eyes?" ”
The eldest grandson, Qi Ye, didn't say anything.
Concubine Jiang knew his temperament, her face tightened slightly, and then she said coldly: "There are many good daughters in this world, why should you be obsessed with her alone?" What's so good about her, she actually confused your brothers, but her appearance is just better, Qi Ye, I have cultivated you for so many years, just to make you easily confused by a woman? ”
"Amu is different from what you said." The eldest grandson Qi Ye looked at her face with anger as soon as she saw her, she was used to it for a long time, and her heart didn't seem to hurt as much as before. From childhood to adulthood, she will be strict with herself, and she must do everything better than other royal brothers, otherwise she will have to treat her coldly, so he has long been used to it.
Concubine Jiang saw that he was still arguing for Lin Jinwen, and she was angry, but laughed instead: "Then I'll tell you now, the more you like her, the more I want her to die." After she finished speaking, she turned around coldly and walked to the first seat and sat down, before she said condescendingly: "If she dies, your mind can be all on business." ”
"You can't kill her!" She's so smart, so cunning, no one can kill her!
"Really? Over the years, when did you see your mother fail? Concubine Jiang sneered.
The eldest grandson, Qi Ye, knew her ability, and the hand hanging down on her side slowly tightened.
"What do you want me to do?"
"It's very simple, you have to hold this throne in your hands." Concubine Jiang said coldly.
"If you get the throne, you won't kill her?"
"It is you who get the throne to protect her, otherwise she will definitely die in front of you." Concubine Jiang finished speaking coldly before she said to the people around her: "The guard Changqing is a waste, beat eighty military sticks and drive out of the Seven Princes' Mansion!" ”
"Mother, do you really want to do this?" The eldest grandson Qi Ye's eyes are red, from childhood to adulthood, only Chang Qing has always been with him, he is the only partner and the only brother to himself.
Concubine Jiang saw the unbearable in his eyes and sneered: "If you want to be the supreme king, you must quit all seven emotions and six desires, otherwise these will become your weakness, just like Zhao Huaiyan, because of a mere woman, and give up the country at your fingertips." Not to mention Lin Jinwen, there are a bunch of weaknesses, and I can kill her if I get any of them. ”
The eldest grandson Qi Ye's eyes began to be disappointed, he just hated before, hated that his mother would never treat him with good words like others, never like a real mother, love him and protect him, in her eyes, he was just a tool.
Chang Qing was dragged down, eighty military sticks, sturdy on his body, when Fang Bo saw him being thrown to the gate of the mansion, the placket of his back was stained with blood, and the wild dogs on the side of the road almost had to come up.
He quickly found someone to carry him to the infirmary, and only then did he barely save his life.
After he woke up, he saw Uncle Fang by his side, and sighed with emotion: "I can't imagine that it was Uncle Fang who saved me." ”
"Do you still think it's a beautiful girl with a simple heart and a wealthy family written in the play?" Fang Bo snorted lightly.
Chang Qing knew that his mouth was unforgiving, and laughed: "I want to ......"
Uncle Fang glanced at him, then gave him a burden, and said: "The Seventh Prince asked people to bring it, which is your deed of sale and tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets, as well as a few house deeds, and when the injury is healed, leave the capital to find your ladies." After that, he asked the people in the hospital to take good care of him, and then left.
When leaving, Uncle Fang also left a jar of salted plums for him.
Chang Qing stuffed a plum into his mouth, and immediately sour tears came out. Now that he is not by the side of the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince will definitely be manipulated by Concubine Jiang. When he thought that the Seventh Prince would always be alone, and then he would be alone, he couldn't bear it, how could he leave alone to live a good life.
"Crying?"
When a familiar voice came, Chang Qing was surprised, looked back at the woman dressed in black, and said with a smile: "Why are you here?" ”
Mo Yue glanced at the wound on his back before saying, "Can you go?" ”
"Where?"
"Concubine Jiang came to kill you on the way, where do you say to go?" After Mo Yue finished speaking, she stepped forward to help him up, seeing that he was grinning in pain, and his eyes were darker. Even if Concubine Jiang is the biological mother of King Yue, she has no respect. She was originally taken in by the eldest grandson Qi Ye to recuperate, but when she heard the news that Chang Qing was thrown out of the house, she eavesdropped on her conversation with the eldest grandson Qi Ye. Knowing that she was bent on killing her master and using King Yue, she was unwilling. The more people she wants to kill today, the more she has to protect!
Lin Jinwen didn't know that so many things had happened in Kyoto now, because after Zhao Huaiyan took the pill, although the red in his eyes receded, he also fainted, and slept for three days and three nights in a row.
She stayed by the bedside until late at night, when she lay on the side of the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The third floor of the inn where they stayed was near the river, because the windows were a little broken and could not be closed tightly, and they would sound when there was a wind at night, so she didn't care, who knew that the windows were opened from the outside tonight.
She fell asleep as usual, and it wasn't until the footsteps behind her approached that she opened her eyes suddenly, and without thinking about it, she sprinkled the powder back with her hand.
The powder was scattered, and the man choked on it, and immediately drew his sword and stabbed at her.
The guards outside seemed to have been disposed of, even if Lin Jinwen shouted, no one came in at all, she looked at the person holding the cold sword in her hand, and planned to pull out the Gu worms raised in the hairpin, but before this action started, Zhao Huaiyan, who had been in a coma, suddenly opened her eyes.
He looked at the dark shadow in the night, directly grabbed the teacup on one side and hit the head of the man in black, causing him to fall to the ground on the spot, Lin Jinwen took the opportunity to pick up the sword that fell to the ground and put it against his throat and said coldly: "Who sent you?" ”
The man snorted coldly, directly bit the poison sac in his mouth, and died with a tilt of his head.
Lin Jinwen swept his eyes, he didn't have any tokens on him, and after he was sure that he was dead, he threw the sword to the side, turned his head to look at the person who had woken up on the bed, and was overjoyed: "Huaiyan......"
"Sister-in-law......"
Zhao Huaiyan felt as if he had been asleep for a long time, so long that it seemed as if everything that had happened before was dreaming, and he dreamed that he had seen Zhao Tian die with his own eyes......
Lin Jinwen walked up to him, saw that there was pain and confusion in his eyes, and said softly, "What's wrong?" ”
"I dreamed that Zhao Tian died." Zhao Huaiyan raised his eyes to look at him.
Lin Jinwen was a little unbearable, she knew that the real Zhao Huaiyan was soft in his heart, even if Zhao Tian betrayed him, the emperor betrayed him, and Concubine Jiang had been using him, he was unwilling to really kill them.
She held him in her arms and said softly, "Do you know, our child was born, a dragon and phoenix fetus, one is called Grape, and the other is called Jiu'er. ”
Zhao Huaiyan hugged her tightly, knowing that it was not a dream, and he really didn't recognize her when she came to him after all the hardships she had gone through while pregnant.
"Son-in-law, I'm sorry......"
"I'm not sorry, you've been chasing me for two lifetimes, so I'll chase you for a short time. You can't pay it all, can you? Lin Jinwen chuckled.
Zhao Huaiyan hugged her tighter and tighter, but Lin Jinwen knew that she had to become stronger, and she wanted to be someone who could stand side by side with him, not a little woman who would always need his protection behind him, because he sometimes needed someone to protect her......
For the people who came to assassinate, most of them guessed that it was either the people of Xianyue or the people of Concubine Jiang.
Lin Jinwen lit the candle before discussing the future with him, and also told him that the emperor of Western Xia was worried that he would take the throne of Western Xia.
"Are we going to stay in Western Xia for the time being?" Lin Jinwen said. She didn't like the people and things of Western Xia, she wanted to return to the Jin Dynasty and return to her family.
"Jin Chao can't go back for the time being." Zhao Huaiyan looked at her apologetically.
Lin Jinwen also knew that after all, he had only led his troops to occupy more than a dozen cities in the Jin Dynasty, and he was only sent to death when he went back.
She chuckled, "I know. ”
"And ......" Zhao Huaiyan remembered what had happened, and he was still cold, because his father really wanted to kill him at that time: "Concubine Jiang's purpose is to annex the Jin Dynasty, if I don't do this, it will be a catastrophe for the people of the Jin Dynasty." "He can control the army and not kill innocents, but the other generals don't. On the battlefield, slaughtering the people of the whole city to deter the enemy army abounded, Helian Jing also did it, and the generals of the Jin Dynasty also did it. And most importantly, now that the fight has begun, it must not stop.
Lin Jinwen knew that he had always had the world in mind, and smiled lightly: "Okay, I'll accompany you." ”
If it was before, Zhao Huaiyan would not be willing to let her suffer with him, but now that he remembers her again, as if God's reward, he will never let her leave his side for half a step, he will guard her well.
The two hugged each other and said nothing all night, so they snuggled quietly together until it was about to dawn, and they immediately rushed to Kyoto.
The emperor's health was getting worse and worse, and they didn't have much time to delay.
But what they didn't know was that the people who came to assassinate last night were not from Concubine Jiang and Xianyue.
After watching them leave, on the first floor of this inn, someone said to the man who had been sitting in the corner of the lobby: "It's gone." ”
"Hmm." He replied lightly, and the man got up and left.
As he left, people nearby were still pointing behind his back: "Why did that man break an arm?" ”
"Who knows, looking at the way he is poorly dressed, he may have come from a mountain bandit."
Someone laughed, and the person who went out just smiled coldly, got into the carriage, and then slowly followed Zhao Huaiyan's carriage to Kyoto in Western Xia.
In Kyoto, the southern Xinjiang mission, which had been said to come to make peace for a long time, finally arrived, and brought the princess who wanted to make peace this time.
The mission was received and lived in a post house not far from the Yue Wang's Mansion, which was specially designed to receive envoys from various countries, and was very large, with more than a dozen independent large courtyards.
The southern Xinjiang mission lived in one of the best large courtyards, called Caisang Garden.
This princess of southern Xinjiang is also a very favored princess in southern Xinjiang, her name is Langyue Xia Luo, she is the queen's concubine, but she is very delicate, and from a distance, she looks pitiful.
"Princess, the court has issued an order, it is rumored that we will enter the palace tomorrow, this time you want to see the seventh prince of Western Xia, it is very likely to become the crown prince, and then become the king of Western Xia.
"Is the king here?" She leaned delicately against the porch and asked with a light smile.
"King Yue hasn't come back yet, but Her Royal Highness the Princess, King Yue has been given a marriage......"
"No hurry, I'm not going to marry him." Langyue Xia Luo smiled lightly, three points more delicate than Xizi, but only said: "But I really want to meet him, and the lady he is about to marry." She blinked her eyes lightly and smiled.
The envoy was puzzled, but he knew that this princess had always been smart, so he didn't ask much, and only said: "Our Seventh Prince seems to be there this time, do you want to meet it?" ”
She smiled and shook her head: "No need, he doesn't want to see me if he wants to." ”
"But the queen asked you to take care of him......"
"He's not as stupid as you think, and he's been a wild man for so many years, and his skills are not small." Lang Yue Xia Luo chuckled, thinking of Lang Yue Han, she only slowly lowered her eyes to collect the emotions in her eyes. She is one year younger than Lang Yuehan, and she knows how Lang Yuehan was kidnapped and how he became a wild man. But Lang Yuehan doesn't remember it, and even if he does, he is so inferior that he doesn't dare to ask himself now, and he doesn't dare to tell his mother and father about the past.
She chuckled faintly, got up and said, "I heard that Kyoto is prosperous in Western Xia, let's go and have a look." Then he got up and went out.
Kyoto in Western Xia is indeed more prosperous than in Southern Xinjiang, and it is a different style, she changed into Xixia clothes, pure white spring shirt, draped in an embroidered light green cloak, holding a beautiful and delicate flying fairy bun, thin powder, if not wearing a veil, I am afraid that this street will be blocked by people who see her beauty.
She walked here and looked there, casual and elegant, especially the weak body and tone, which became more and more pitiful, and even the peddler was eager to give her something when he saw her coming.
She was staring at her when suddenly a fast horse galloped by, and she couldn't dodge, so she fell straight backwards, but fell into a strange bosom.
"Girl, be careful."
After the eldest grandson Xuanyin held her steady, he smiled lightly and walked away directly.
Langyue Xia Luo was stunned for a while, looking at the departing man in green clothes, the wind gently blew the hem of his blue clothes, making the long hair leaves scattered behind him fly up with the wind, floating out of the dust, like a fairy.
"Who is he?" She asked.
"The seventeenth prince who was once driven out of Western Xia, and now Sun Xuanyin, the chief of the Valley of the Hundred Poisons."
Before coming to Western Xia, they had checked all these people.
Langyue Xia Luo smiled lightly, glanced at the candy man selling beside her, picked a boy in Tsing Yi in her hand, and turned around with a light smile.
When she left, Qing You, who had been standing quietly on one side, stepped forward and followed the back of the eldest grandson Xuanyin.
On the day Lin Jinwen returned to Kyoto, she heard that the delegation from southern Xinjiang was coming, but she didn't care, because it was none of her business, there was only one thing, she had to be careful, because there was news that Xu Boshan had been appointed as an envoy by the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and he would come to Western Xia in the near future.
She was in the princess's mansion, looking at Mo Xue, who was already waiting here, and only said, "When will you arrive?" ”
"It seems to be coming quickly, and now it's time to set off, and it will be there in less than half a month." Mo Xue secretly looked at her and found that she was not injured, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Zhang Xiaofang and Peanut have also come over, the forty elites trained by Mo Yue personally before are now lurking all over Kyoto, and the news network Peanut is also preparing to be established, you don't have to worry soon, there is no one to use in Western Xia." ”
Lin Jinwen looked at Mo Xue, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly: "I always knew that you could do it." ”
Mo Xue was suddenly praised, and she was a little flustered, and then smiled: "It should be." ”
Lin Jinwen laughed lightly, and talked to her for a while, before packing up and going to see Peanuts.
Zhao Huaiyan went back to the house to bathe first, and then directly asked to enter the palace.
In the afternoon of entering the palace, it was just in time for the emperor to meet with the envoys of southern Xinjiang, so he did not see the emperor first, but was called by Concubine Jiang first.
When Concubine Jiang saw him, her eyes were very complicated, but she quickly calmed down, and only said, "I've worked hard for you this time." ”
"It's a matter of duty." Zhao Huaiyan said lightly.
Concubine Jiang looked at his eyes that had returned to normal, knowing that he had already remembered Lin Jinwen again, and only said, "In that case, then you go back and prepare for the wedding." But you've failed the Quarter Moon, and you have to think about what to do. The Quarter Moon has been waiting for you for so many years......"
"Yes."
"Have you ever considered marrying Xianyue as the main concubine?"
"Wechen will only have one wife in this life." Zhao Huaiyan said lightly, then turned around to leave, Concubine Jiang's palms tightened slightly: "Do you have to be so alienated from me?" ”
"Concubine Jiang and Weichen...... It's supposed to be alienated. Zhao Huaiyan turned to look at her, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, but he knew very well that the closest person to him in this world was not a blood relative, but a person who had the same heart with him and wanted to live and die together.
After he finished speaking, he had already stepped out, and when he went out, he saw that he was already waiting outside for the eldest grandson Qi Ye.
The eldest grandson Qi Ye looked at him lightly, he also looked at the eldest grandson Qi Ye lightly, relatively speechless, and after a while, the eldest grandson Qi Ye spoke: "I heard that King Yue is about to get married, I have a gift to give." ”
"Hmm." Zhao Huaiyan answered, and walked directly past him.
He didn't have any feelings for this half-brother, but he had saved his sister-in-law, and he could not treat him as an enemy.
The eldest grandson Qi Ye watched him leave like this, and there was a trace of envy overflowing in his heart, envy that he didn't have to carry the burden of his mother's expectation, and envy him for being free and easy, and not being disturbed by this chaotic emotion.
As soon as Zhao Huaiyan left, he heard the sound of the cup being broken inside.
The palace maid beside him said, "Seventh Prince, do you want to go in?" ”
"No need." He glanced at the door that was close at hand, followed Zhao Huaiyan's back, and walked away.
The envoys of southern Xinjiang had almost come out, but Langyue Xia Luo happened to meet Zhao Huaiyan.
She knew Zhao Huaiyan because she had seen it before.
She admitted that Zhao Huaiyan was the best-looking man she had ever seen, with resolute and handsome facial features, with a cold and cold autumn breath, and a cold star hidden in his phoenix eyes.
In the long and narrow corridor, she walked over to talk, but Zhao Huaiyan didn't seem to see their group, and walked over directly, so that her movements to step past could only freeze in mid-air.
She smiled lightly, and turned her head to look at his back with a chill in her eyes: "His Royal Highness King Yue is really heroic, and Southern Xinjiang has no weight in the eyes of His Royal Highness King Yue." ”
Zhao Huaiyan's footsteps paused slightly, and he turned his head to look at her: "Since you know, why bother asking?" ”
Langyue Xia Luo's face froze slightly, and then she chuckled, with worship in her eyes: "His Royal Highness King Yue is His Royal Highness King Yue." Later, I don't know if Xia Luo can visit the Yue Wang's Mansion, and the envoys who came over this time admired His Royal Highness the Yue King very much. ”
"Nope." Zhao Huaiyan directly refused and walked away.
As soon as he left, the envoy beside Langyue Xia Luo sank his face: "He is really rampant, but he is just a prince......
"Just a prince, the envoy really looks down on me in Xixia, even so, it's better not to get along."
An indifferent voice came from the corner, and when everyone looked, they saw a man who was somewhat similar to Zhao Huaiyan's eyebrows walking out, dressed in an ink-colored brocade robe, his eyes were red, and he was very handsome.
The palace people who sent the envoys out of the palace immediately saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince." ”
The people of southern Xinjiang were slightly stagnant, aren't the Seven Princes the most popular candidates for the crown prince? If you want to make peace with him, you will also be close to him, and maybe he will be the emperor of Western Xia in the future.
The envoys immediately saluted, and Langyue Xia Luo also smiled delicately: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, just now my envoy was rude to His Royal Highness King Yue, Xia Luo is here to give you a salute to make amends." ”
"No need." The eldest grandson, Qi Ye, glanced at the back of Zhao Huaiyan who left indifferently, and followed directly.
The people of southern Xinjiang were hung here again, and the ministers were embarrassed and angry, but they did not dare to show it.
Langyue Xia Luo didn't speak, smiled coldly, and walked straight out. Since she came to Xixia, she knew that this time the relationship would not be too smooth. Not to mention that the Heqin delegation in southern Xinjiang had been to the Jin Dynasty before, but now the Western Xia is in full swing, with Zhao Huaiyan in the sky, and the expansion of power is even more overwhelming, with their momentum, it is not difficult to win the once glorious Jin Dynasty.
After Zhao Huaiyan saw the emperor, he found that the eldest grandson Qi Ye had followed him all the way, and glanced at him lightly, and he also glanced at himself lightly, but did not speak.
The emperor watched the movements of the two of them, paused, and suddenly smiled: "King Yue, you still have to prepare for your wedding for a few days, just don't worry about the battlefield, how about teaching Qi Ye for me?" ”
"The minister is incompetent."
"My son doesn't want to learn."
Both men refused indifferently.
The emperor laughed weakly, reluctantly drank a sip of medicinal soup to suppress the discomfort in his throat, and then said: "King Yue, I know your ability, my Ye'er has been smart since childhood, but he has never been involved in matters involving the court, I have no one to entrust now, I can only look for you, you should be my reward for giving you marriage, how about it?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan frowned.
The eldest grandson, Qi Ye, raised his chin and glanced at him, seeing him frowning, he also frowned: "Erchen doesn't have to learn anything." ”
"As a prince, how can you not learn? I have never let you interfere in the affairs of the court, if there is no one to assist, how can I hand over this country to you? The emperor was a little anxious, but the eldest grandson Qi Ye was stunned: "Prince? ”
The father-in-law on one side smiled and said: "The emperor has already prepared a holy decree to canonize you as the crown prince." ”
The eldest grandson Qi Ye's face was slightly gloomy, he didn't want to be a prince, and after that kind of incident happened back then, he didn't want to stay in this palace for a day.
The emperor knew that he was unwilling, but now he didn't have any more energy to train the next crown prince, he could feel that his body had been drained, and he was just a few days away.
After speaking, he also glanced at Zhao Huaiyan and said with a smile: "If you agree, I can also give you a blank holy decree, which should be given to you as a reward, how about it?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan raised his eyes to look at him, he said this, not temporarily, but premeditated. Was he worried that he would rebel, so he appeased himself in advance?
"Father's ......"
"Ahem......" The emperor coughed violently, and the blood in his mouth seemed to be unstoppable, spitting out, staining the music on the table.
The eldest grandson, Qi Ye, hurriedly ran to his side, but Zhao Huaiyan only thought of his father.
The emperor of Western Xia can think about his son everywhere, and even if he only has one breath left, he has to work hard for his son, but his father is still thinking about how to use his closest people as weapons.
"The Seven Princes can come to the Yue Wangfu to stay until the wedding." After speaking, the emperor's cough barely stopped, he looked at Zhao Huaiyan with a smile, looked at his eyes that had returned to normal, and knew that he had guessed correctly. With Lin Jinwen here, he is still the Zhao Huaiyan who is full of wisdom and has the world in mind.
Before he could speak, his eyes went dark and he fainted.
When Zhao Huaiyan left the palace, the eldest grandson Qi Ye only followed him to the palace gate.
"About Amu ......" The eldest grandson Qi Ye looked at him who was indifferently about to leave, and suddenly spoke.
"What?"
"You take good care of her." When the eldest grandson Qi Ye said these words, he already felt that his heart was like a knife, but he decided to give up, so he couldn't think about it. He hopes that she will live well, that she will always be carefree, and that his fears are only his own after all, and he will carry them by himself.
Zhao Huaiyan didn't turn around: "The princess of this king will naturally take good care of it." "With that, just step away.
The eldest grandson, Qi Ye, clenched his fists tightly, and when his eyes were red, his whole body exuded a painful aura.
"Evergreen ......" he called softly, and only a strange guard came to his side, he was rearranged for him by Concubine Jiang, named Cao Jiao.
"What do the Seven Princes command?"
The eldest grandson, Qi Ye, looked at his gloomy face, his face became even darker, and he walked away.
Zhao Huaiyan sat in the carriage back, thinking about the emperor's words, and closed his eyes until the carriage stopped in front of the mansion where Lin Jinwen was now living.
Lin Jinwen went out and hasn't come back yet, only Aunt Cui is there.
Aunt Cui was kicked out of the former Yue Wang's Mansion, and when she saw him coming, she couldn't help but tremble.
When Zhao Huaiyan was sitting in the flower hall, he only felt strange when he saw her: "I'm afraid of this king?" ”
"Slaves are not afraid of ......"
Zhao Huaiyan looked at her trembling like sifting chaff, can she be afraid?
"Stand down."
"Yes." Aunt Cui hurriedly responded, and then hurriedly ran out.
After coming out, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and just saw that Lin Jinwen had returned, so he hurriedly ran up and said carefully: "It's His Royal Highness King Yue who has come down." ”
"Really?" Lin Jinwen seemed very happy to go inside, but was pulled by Aunt Cui, and heard her vigilant: "Be careful, it is rumored that His Royal Highness the King of Yue kills people without blinking, this time he still came back from the battlefield, and the slave and maid looked at his sword as if it was blood......"
After Aunt Cui finished speaking, she felt that there was a figure behind her, she looked back cautiously, and saw that Zhao Huaiyan was already standing behind her at some point, and she was so frightened that she almost jumped up.
It was Mo Xue who held her up, and then saluted Zhao Huaiyan.
Lin Jinwen smiled and bent her eyes, staring at Zhao Huaiyan's sword and said, "Next time the prince comes, don't bring a sword." ”
"Hmm." Zhao Huaiyan nodded, and immediately took off the saber and threw it into the hands of the guards on one side. Seeing that her forehead was sweating because she was in a hurry, she took out her handkerchief, stepped forward to wipe it for her, and touched the earrings of her earlobes, with a smile in her eyes: "It's beautiful." ”
"Earrings look good?"
"You're good-looking."
……
Aunt Cui looked at the two of them who walked in hand in sweetness, her heart was pounding, she quietly grabbed Mo Xue and said, "Snow girl, my eyes are not flowering, is that really His Royal Highness the Yue King?" ”
Mo Xue was already accustomed to the fact that the prince became gentle and sweet as soon as he saw his master, and nodded with a smile: "Aunt Cui, you will get used to it in the future, the prince is not terrible." With that, he dragged her along.
Outside the mansion, the eldest grandson Xuanyin wore a knee-length gauze hat, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Qingyou, Qingyu understood, and immediately stepped forward with the things in his arms, and said, "Tell Princess Changle that this is given to her by her master." ”
The porter looked at the little boy in front of him, and then looked at the man in Tsing Yi wearing a veil not far away, and selfishly felt that it was not simple, so he nodded and went in.
Lin Jinwen was telling Zhao Huaiyan about the fact that Peanut and Zhang Xiaofang were also here, when she saw the porter hurriedly running in, and said that her master had sent something.
"Master?" Mo Xue was surprised, when did the master worship a master?
Lin Jinwen opened the ink-colored brocade box she brought, and when she saw it, it was actually a pill, and the pill still exuded a fragrant smell, and she knew that it was an antidote at a glance.
But why did the eldest grandson Xuanyin come over with the antidote?
Just thinking about it, Zhao Huaiyan's people outside hurriedly came in.
"Lord Wang, something happened to the envoy from the Jin Dynasty this time." Come humanely.
Lin Jinwen was so anxious that she stood up directly: "Is it Lord Xu?" ”
The person who came nodded, Lin Jin's eyebrows tightened slightly, could it be that the uncle's accident had anything to do with the pill sent by the eldest grandson Xuanyin.
Zhao Huaiyan looked at the worried Lin Jinwen and said: "Don't worry, Lord Xu has not been leaving for a long time, and he should not have entered the territory of Western Xia, the emperor intends to send him here, and he will not let him have an accident." ”
"Hmm." Lin Jinwen nodded, and then frowned at him: "The prince may have thought, who is going to poison him?" ”
"Most of them are from the Jin Dynasty." What he knows is that after Zhao Min was canonized as the crown prince, Zhao Kan, who had fled, had been secretly planning something, and asking for peace was the last thing he wanted to see, but the person who sent the medicine didn't seem to be simple.
