Chapter 243: Finding Out the Truth

The road is surrounded by mountain walls on one side and cliffs on the other, and the wind is whining and chilling.

The princess and the little palace maid jumped down, but there was no sound of landing, which shows how deep this valley is.

The sedan chair that Yu Yu was riding in had already rolled down, smashing the four sedan chair drivers who had fled down into the cliff.

Yu Yu's legs were weak, and she sat on the steps tightly hugging Lin Yin, hoping to stuff Lin Yin back into her stomach.

This is the flesh and blood she conceived and gave birth to in October, it is the son of her and Lin Jia, no matter when it comes, she will not let go, she has to protect him.

She has lost her daughter and must not lose her son again!

Lin Yin hugged his mother's neck tightly, his pale little face was attached to his mother's face, and a pair of black phoenix eyes were full of tears, but he didn't cry and make a fuss.

Ah Lan stood on the side, looking at Concubine Bai and Xiao Shizi, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Han Lin stood to the side expressionlessly, his heart full of remorse.

At that moment, she was in the middle of the position, and she was almost hit by the overturned sedan chariot, she wanted to pull the chariot, but she didn't pull it.

Ah Bi had tears in her eyes, she was good, Yibaolou sent her to the palace to let her protect the side concubine, but she didn't expect a real crisis to happen, she would be scared stupid, she only knew that she would lean against the railing to protect herself.

What she is most afraid of now is that Concubine Bai will investigate her behavior.

Yelu Xiao stood on one side, he looked young, but he was actually very precocious.

He relented for a moment and saved Yuyu's mother and son, so he must be rewarded.

Yu Yu's body was weak and couldn't move, but her brain was awake.

After she rested for a while, she began to order: "Ye Bi, if you go to the Queen Mother now, just say that I was in danger on the road and was frightened, so I won't go to the Queen Mother!"

Ye Bi's face was pale, but her eyes lit up—Concubine Fang seemed to have forgiven her—and she replied "yes."

Yu Yu lowered her head and kissed Lin Yin's soft black hair, and said, "Observe the reaction of the people who accompanied the Queen Mother, and take the time to have a good chat with Lady Tian!"

Ye Bi took all of Yu Yu's words to heart, and then hurriedly ran forward.

Yu Yu instructed Ah Lan again: "You go and spread the word, and let the feather guard go to investigate this princess and this palace maid!"

Ah Lan replied "yes" and went to make arrangements.

Yu Yu looked at Han Lin: "Han Lin, help me up, let's go back to Qiu Feng Yuan first!"

Han Lin stiffened for a long time, and stood up against the railing.

She agreed, and slowly walked over to the railing, intending to help Yu Yu up.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps below.

Yu Yu hugged Lin Yin and looked over, and found that several entourages were coming with Lin Jia in their arms, and their hearts couldn't help but be relieved.

Lin Jia was discussing with the cabinet below about punishing Goryeo, when he heard an explosion from the mountainside, and hurriedly asked Ah Qing to take a look.

Knowing that Yu Yu and Lin Yin happened to go to the Queen Mother, he was afraid that he would have to pass through the mountainside, so he didn't have time to think about it, changed his previous calmness, threw a few cabinet scholars there, immediately picked up the hem of his clothes, and ran away in the direction of the mountainside.

Naturally, the retinue also caught up.

At this time, seeing Yu Yu Yu sitting on the steps with Lin Yin in his arms, Lin Jia's hanging heart slowly fell-Chang'an had been stolen by Han Qing, and he didn't dare to imagine what would happen without Yu Yu and Lin Yin!

Yu Yu looked at Lin Jia with a smile: "Ajia, you're here—"

Although she was smiling, her big eyes were wet and clearly with tears.

Lin Jia's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he walked to Yu Yu's side with difficulty and hugged Yu Yu and Lin Yin.

Yu Yu sniffed the good-smelling mint smell on Lin Jia's body, and said in a low voice: "Ah Jia, someone has harmed me and Ah Yin, we have to investigate!"

Lin Jia said "um", folded her arms, and hugged Yu Yu and Ah Yin's mother and son tighter.

Yelu Xiao stood to the side, calmly watching all this.

After Lin Jia learned that it was Yeluxiao who saved his woman and child, he immediately bowed sincerely: "Thank you!"

He originally planned to cultivate Yeluxiao well, and he would be more attentive in the future.

Ye Luxiao didn't speak, still looking awkward as a young man.

Ye Bi rushed to the Empress Dowager's palace and found that it was very lively, Jiang Guifei, Gui Liang Concubine and Lian Hui Concubine were playing leaf cards with the Empress Dowager.

Lady Tian was waiting outside the hall, and when she saw Ye Bi coming over in despair, she hurriedly said, "Ye Bi, what's wrong?"

Ye Bi took a deep breath and forced her breath to stabilize, she reached out and held Lady Tian's hand: "Lady Tian, did the Queen Mother tell Lady Wang to invite our concubine and Xiao Shizi over?"

Lady Tian nodded in surprise: "Yes, at that time, the Queen Mother somehow remembered the prince, and it happened that Lady Wang was by her side, so she asked Lady Wang to pass the word!"

Ye Bi's eyes stared at Lady Tian: "Who will accompany the Queen Mother at that time?"

Lady Tian thought for a while and said: "I was guarding outside the hall at the time, and the rest of the people accompanied the Queen Mother in the palace, including Jiang Guifei, Gui Liang Concubine, Lian Hui Concubine, and Cai Lifei and Ouyang Guiren Later, Cai Lifei and Ouyang Nobleren went back to play chess together, and after they left, they passed about a cup of tea, and the princess Wang also received the order to come out!"

She is very smart, and she already knows that Concubine Bai is afraid that something will happen to her, so she knows everything and says everything.

Ye Bi remembered it in her heart, and then let go of Lady Tian's hand and said, "Please Lady Tian!"

The Queen Mother was taking a good hand of cards, and when she learned that Concubine Bai and Lin Yin had an accident, she didn't feel much sadness, but just said: "It's okay - a rope!"

She drew a leaf card and threw it.

Knowing that Bai Yuyu and Lin Yin actually escaped this catastrophe, Jiang Guifei secretly hated in her heart, and the roots of her teeth were sour, but her face was not obvious - she still had a trick!

Jiang Guifei tried her best to suppress the irritability in her heart, and picked up the rope with a smile: "I want it!"

She discharged a total of three sheets and a rope.

Ye Bi stood there respectfully, but a pair of eyes slowly looked at the few people present, wanting to see some clues.

Concubine Gui Liang took a sip of the teacup handed over by the palace maid, and glanced at Abi: "Your side concubine is really blessed, when you came to see the queen mother, she actually took the prince of Liao with her, and was saved by the prince of Liao country!"

Ah Bi lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "Your Majesty ordered the prince and the prince of Yelu to worship as brothers, and the prince of Yelu came to see the queen mother and kowtow to the queen mother, so he came with the side concubine's sedan chair!"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she laughed: "Ouch, the Liao State is strong in force and has always killed all sides, and now the concubine of the Emperor of the Liao State actually wants to come and kowtow to the mourning family, which is really rare!"

Concubine Lian Hui had already counted the cards, and immediately played a card of 30,000, and said: "I'm afraid that the Queen Mother has never seen the little prince of Liao, and her voice hasn't changed, like a little girl!"

She saw that Concubine Gui Liang had sinister intentions, and seemed to want to link Concubine Bai with the little prince of Liao, so as to cause misunderstanding, so she opened her mouth to excuse Yuyu.

The Queen Mother had been waiting for 30,000 yuan for a long time, and immediately said: "Mourning the family!" Ha ha! ”

"I knew that the queen mother was waiting for this card, and the concubines didn't play, but the concubines' silver tickets were all scrambling to fly to the queen mother, and the concubines couldn't control it!" Concubine Lian Hui looked remorseful, took out a silver ticket and presented it to the Queen Mother.

After winning the silver ticket, the Queen Mother was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Come again!"

Concubine Lian Hui said with a smile: "After such a terrible thing, Concubine Bai is just an adult, and Xiao Shizi is afraid that she will be frightened!"

The Queen Mother thought about it and instructed Ye Bidao: "Go back quickly, let your side concubine take the prince to rest!"

Ye Bi glanced at Concubine Lian Hui, replied "yes", and retreated.

The main room in the inner courtyard of Qiufeng Garden was very quiet, only the crisp sound of a silver spoon touching a silver-rimmed white porcelain bowl sounded from time to time.

Lin Jia was feeding Lin Yin with a calming soup.

Yu Yu sat on the side, eating an eight-treasure rice - she claimed that she liked sweets the most, and she didn't need to drink calming soup, and her god settled down after eating an eight-treasure rice!

Lin Yin couldn't resist his father, so he had to drink the calming soup sadly, but a pair of black little phoenix eyes were looking at the eight treasure rice in front of his mother sadly.

Yu Yu was seen by his son for a while, and said with a smile: "Ah Yin, you finish drinking the calming soup, and my mother will let you eat eight treasure rice!"

When Lin Yin heard this, he didn't hesitate to pick up the bowl in his father's hand, drank the remaining calming soup in it, and then went to his mother's side to eat eight-treasure rice.

Lin Jia handed the empty bowl to Han Lin, sat there and watched Yu Yu Linyin's mother and son eat eight treasure rice in one bite, seeing that their mother and son were eating happily, they seemed to have completely forgotten the life and death calamity, and Lin Jia felt a little relieved.

Yu Yu and Ah Yin fell asleep when they were thirsty after eating, so they pulled Lin Jia into the room to sleep.

After the mother and son fell asleep, Lin Jia got out of bed, put on her clothes and went out.

Flying Shadow was waiting outside.

Lin Jia commanded in a low voice: "This matter will be handed over to you, in half a month, I want to know the mastermind behind the scenes!"

Flying Shadow replied "yes" and quietly retreated.

The next day, Lin Jia sent Yu Yu and Lin Yin back to the capital on the grounds that Yu Yu and Lin Yin were frightened.

Back at the palace, Ah Yin followed Li Hanxing to play, Lin Jia was talking to Yu Yu, and Ah Qing came in to report: "Lord Wang, side concubine, Lingque is back!"

Lin Jia and Yu Yu looked at each other, and the two almost shook each other's hands - Ling Que was sent to Western Xia by Yu Yu, and he should bring the exact news of the county lord of Chang'an!

The spirit magpie soon came in.

He was originally a little white face, but now he has come back from the northwest day and night, and he has become black and thin, and his little white face has become a little black face, only the peach blossom eyes are still watery, which is very good-looking, and the black has become black and pretty.

Lingque knew what the princess and concubine wanted to know, so he bowed and said, "Lord and princess, the little princess is indeed staying in the Xixia Palace!"

Yu Yu breathed a sigh of relief - it's good that Chang'an is alive!

Hearing the good news, Yu Yu's whole person was a little soft, and she was held in Lin Jia's arms.

Knowing that her daughter was still alive, Lin Jia was in a stirred mood: "Let's talk about the details!"

Lingque had already organized the language on the road, and immediately said: "Qiyu Wangye's side concubine, the little county lord has now become the princess of Xixia, and her big name is Han Xiaoqing, the king of Xixia loves the county lord very much, and he asked his subordinates to pass a word to the prince's side concubine."

Yu Yu snuggled in Lin Jia's arms, thinking that her daughter had fallen into Han Qing's hands from now on, she couldn't help but feel sad, she reached out and held Lin Jia's hand, but her big clear eyes looked at Ling Que for a moment.

Lingque hurriedly said: "The king of Western Xia said that he can refuse Goryeo's surrender and drive out the Goryeo mission, even if the Great Zhou attacks and punishes Goryeo, he will never make a move, the condition is——"

He paused, and then said, "The condition is to ask the prince and the side concubine to agree to the county lord to grow up in the Xixia Palace!"

Lin Jia waved his hand to let Lingque retreat, and then looked at Yu Yu.

He naturally wanted to save his daughter, but according to Han Qing's stubbornness, if he wanted to save his daughter, he would not have to go to war with Western Xia.

Now that the Eastern Continent has finally been temporarily balanced, if the Great Zhou Dynasty starts a war with the Western Xia, Goryeo, Liao, and the Wa Kingdom in the east will definitely take advantage of the fire to loot - but the current situation in the Great Zhou does not allow the Great Zhou to make enemies everywhere.

Yu Yu had already thought of it, she smiled bitterly, and said: "Han Qing is holding that we can't go to war for the time being, lest the military strength of our Great Zhou is still not strong enough after the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow birds, and when we are strong enough to be able to compete with Western Xia and Liao at the same time, then save our daughter!"

Lin Jia hugged Yu Yu tightly.

Yu Yu felt uncomfortable, but when she looked at Lin Jia, she smiled: "Ah Jia, our Great Zhou Dynasty has now led the Western Xia countries in muskets and explosives, but there are still too few military talents, and the imperial court's emphasis on literature and light on military force has continued for many years, so it must be changed!"

Lin Jia said softly: "I have already ordered that starting from this year, the county examination and the township examination will increase the number of martial arts, engineering and arithmetic, and the treatment of talents, lifters and jinshi in these three subjects is the same as that of liberal arts, and I hope to gradually change the situation of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts."

When Yu Yu heard this, he immediately rejoiced: "This is very good!"

It wasn't until the beginning of February that Emperor Yongtai finally soaked in the hot springs and returned to the capital.

On this day, Yu Yu took Han Lin and Ah Lan to Lin Jia's newly built Chang'an Health Hall outside the city, and Yelu Xiao was idle and had nothing to do, so he had to follow.

This Chang'an health hall was funded by Yu Yu, and she plans to build it every year in the future, even if it is to accumulate blessings for the children of Lin Yin and Chang'an.

The person who manages the Chang'an Health Hall is sent by Yibaolou and is thoughtful.

Yu Yu checked it, felt very satisfied, and encouraged him a lot, and then got into the carriage and left.

As soon as Yu Yu entered the Listening Pine Courtyard, the rain began to fall.

She was leaning against the window of the inner study to watch the rain, and Jin'er brought Mrs. Lan over.

After Mrs. Lan chatted a few words, the waiting person retreated, and then said softly: "Concubine Fang, have you found the person who assassinated you and the prince in the Hot Spring Palace?"

Yu Yu frowned and said, "Not yet!"

In fact, Yu Yiwei was very efficient, and in the end, it was found that Wang Nuguan was born in Ganzhou, and her whole family was a devout Christian, and she participated in the rebellion of Christianity two or three years ago, and many family members died in Lin Jia's counterinsurgency.

Because of this, the princess Wang wanted to kill Yuyu and Lin Yin to avenge her family.

But Lin Jia and Yu Yu both felt that it was not so simple, so they asked Yu Yiwei to continue to investigate.

Mrs. Lan smiled mysteriously, took out a roll of paper from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Yu Yu: "Concubine Lian Hui just returned to Beijing, my mother went to the palace to visit Concubine Lian Hui, and Concubine Lian Hui asked my mother to pass it on, she didn't dare to contact you too much, for fear that something would affect you, so I thought of this method."

Yu Yu opened the scroll of paper and found that it was recorded what happened in the Empress Dowager's palace on the day she and Ah Yin had an accident and what everyone had said.

After reading this scroll of paper, Yu Yu already understood in her heart - although the scene was lively and everyone present said a lot of words, but if you look closely, you will find that Jiang Guifei and the princess Wang handed over a sentence at that time, and finally said that the queen mother asked the princess to invite the prince over!

It turned out that the Queen Mother was also used as a gun by Jiang Guifei and the princess!

Yu Yu thought for a while, got up and thanked Mrs. Lan sincerely.

Mrs. Lan has always been exaggerated, but at this time, she also revealed her true feelings, held Yu Yu's hand, and said softly: "My husband is under the command of the prince, and the prince is very dependent, and the glory and wealth of our husband and wife are tied to the prince, the side concubine and the little prince, if the side concubine wants to thank me, let my husband be promoted to another level!"

Yu Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell the prince!"

Seeing off Mrs. Lan, Yu Yu took a walk in the rain with an oil-paper umbrella.

Ye Ling and Runye each followed behind with an umbrella, and when they saw Yu Yu walking in the rain for half an hour, they never said a word, and couldn't help but ask, "Concubine Fang, what are you thinking?"

Yu Yu smiled and glanced at Ye Ling.

Ye Ling and Ye Bi were originally more lively than Han Lin and them, especially Ye Ling, who was even more lively and fast-talking, in this case, Han Lin and Runye would never ask.

However, for Ye Ling's lively temperament, Yu Yu also liked it, and said, "I'm wondering, when will the mission to Western Xia come back!"

In fact, she was thinking about Li Rui, who followed the mission to Western Xia.

Li Rui has been by her side all these years, she is used to Li Rui's company, and she doesn't feel anything.

Now that Li Rui has been gone for two or three months, Yu Yu has discovered the importance of Li Rui - Li Rui and Hanlin are like her family, and they have long become an indispensable part of her life!

Yu Yu had already determined that the last distress was caused by Jiang Guifei using the princess, so she was thinking about a way to take revenge.

It's just that Jiang Guifei is in the deep palace, if she wants to take revenge on Jiang Guifei, it is best to have Li Rui's cooperation

The plan has been decided, Yu Yu held an umbrella in one hand, and the cloak on his body in the other, raised his eyes to look at the tender green wicker fluttering in the spring rain, and instructed Runye: "You go to the outer study to see the prince, just say that today's dinner will be in the warm pavilion in the back garden, and I will wait for the prince there!"

Nuan Ge is the place where she and Lin Jia have a tryst, she wants to accompany Lin Jia there, Lin Jia is arranging a military operation to attack Goryeo during this time, and she is really tired.

It was also drizzling in the royal city of Western Xia.

Spring has also come to this northwest border, the willow has unconsciously turned yellow, the poplar trees everywhere have sprouted young leaves, and the spring flowers have also bloomed in the spring rain.

Han Qing negotiated with the Goryeo mission who came to pay tribute, and at the same time negotiated with the Great Zhou mission, and in the end, he turned his face to the Goryeo mission: all the beauties and wealth are left, and the mission is out of Western Xia!

The Goryeo mission threatened in vain, but was driven out of the royal city by Han Qing's people, and had to leave in frustration.

The Great Zhou mission concluded an alliance with Goryeo, agreeing to jointly deal with the treacherous Goryeo, and prepared to leave the Western Xia royal city.

Before leaving, Li Rui made a request to see the king and princess of Western Xia.

When Han Qing heard that Li Rui was going to see him and Han Xiaoqing before leaving, his heart couldn't help but be sour, and he immediately said, "This king is not available!"

As Han Qing's conscience, Liangchen looked at the little princess sleeping on the wide couch behind the king, and said softly: "King, the reason why Li Rui asked to see him was not because he wanted to see the little princess."

Han Qing is an extremely transparent person, knowing that Li Rui came to see Han Xiaoqing for the sake of Yu Yu, so he said stupidly: "You take the little princess to see him, bring more people, lest he snatch my Xiaoqing!"

He was a little annoyed by Li Rui, and when he thought of Li Rui's appearance of pretending to stay by Yu Yu's side, he felt so annoyed!

According to the tradition of Western Xia, Li Rui held an umbrella in his hand and stood in the rain outside the corridor like a javelin in a white robe, waiting quietly.

Liangchen hugged the little princess and walked over surrounded by the guards.

Li Rui stepped forward, looked at the little princess for a while, then reached out and lifted the collar of the little princess, looked at the red birthmark on the back of her neck, and confirmed that it was the county lord of Chang'an, and then asked Liangchen: "What is her name now?"

Liangchen hugged the little princess tightly and maintained a high degree of vigilance: "The Chinese name given to the little princess by our king is Han Xiaoqing, and the religious name is Naya, Princess Naya!"

Li Rui looked at Princess Naya, and saw that her little face was white and red, and her big clear eyes were looking at her curiously, obviously forgetting her appearance, and she felt sad in her heart: The county lord is afraid that he has even forgotten his mother!

Liangchen's back straightened, maintaining a posture of turning his face at any time, and when Li Rui turned to leave, he breathed a sigh of relief and went back with Princess Naya in his arms.

In the main hall, Han Qing was sitting on the treasure chair thinking about his thoughts, one of the two Great Zhou beauties massaged his shoulders, and the other knelt on the cushion in front of him to pinch his legs.

Seeing that Liangchen came back with Princess Naya in his arms, Han Qing was really relieved, and said with a smile: "My daughter, come and let your father hug her!"

Taking over Princess Naya, Han Qing sniffed the milky fragrance on her daughter's body, and muttered to herself: "My little princess, my father will make you the most delicate rose in the northwest, the most beautiful queen, and the most free and wanton woman.

Princess Naya didn't understand anything, and snuggled into Han Qing's arms and ate her fingers.

Liangchen: ""
