The prince had no choice but to retreat.

The Emperor leaned back on the bed alone, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gonggong Xu looked at the time, "Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine." ”

"Let Concubine Joan in. ”

Concubine Qiong brought the medicine in and fed it with a spoon one bite at a time, and the emperor drank it absentmindedly.

"What's wrong with Your Majesty, you disagree with the crown prince?"

The emperor now trusts her very much, and he will talk to her if he has something on his mind, this matter is hesitant, it is okay to listen to the opinions of others, Concubine Qiong is not from that party, and she can also put forward some more pertinent opinions.

"The king of Yunnan fell for the Jin state's plan to lure the enemy and died on the battlefield. ”

Concubine Qiong was shocked, who in Chu didn't know that the old marquis was old, and he gradually delegated power, and the old department of Houfu was gradually assigned to other numbers, and southern Xinjiang was supported by the king of Yunnan, and the king of Yunnan fell, and half of the sky in southern Xinjiang collapsed.

"This, this is a great event, no wonder the prince is in a hurry, his face is full of worry. ”

The emperor sighed, "Yes, this matter is not trivial, the prince is young, and he was a little panicked for a while, but it can also be seen that he is thinking about Chu State wholeheartedly." ”

Concubine Qiong nodded, stabilized her mind, and said thoughtfully, "The hundreds of thousands of troops in Xinjiang over there are leaderless, does Your Majesty have any countermeasures?" ”

"The Jin State has not yet entered my Chu State so easily, the focus is only on the hearts of the people and the army, the prince proposed to let Nanqi go to Southern Xinjiang, inherit the throne of Yunnan King, and then take on the responsibility of guarding Southern Xinjiang. ”

Concubine Qiong frowned and thought while feeding him the medicine, and after the medicine was fed, she took off her handkerchief and carefully rubbed the corners of her mouth for the emperor, "In fact, the concubine thinks that no matter whether the prince of Nan succeeds to the throne or not, he still has to let him go to southern Xinjiang to guard in front of Wang Ling in Yunnan, so as to be filial." ”

The emperor listened and did not speak, Concubine Qiong saw that he was not angry, and then said, "The concubine's parents were washed away by the flood, and there was no trace of the corpse, and now the concubine wants to worship, but she doesn't know which way to worship, Nan Shizi and his family have been separated for more than ten years, and now they are separated from the prince yīn Yang, and they can't even guard in front of the spirit, isn't it too pitiful." ”

Hearing her talk about sadness, the emperor held her hand, "What you said is reasonable, it's just a matter of succession"

"The son of the world is the eldest son, the succession should be, although he is young, but there are so many experienced veterans at the border pass can teach him, His Majesty also said that the heart of the people and the army is the most important, and now the old department of the king of Yunnan needs comfort the most, the son of the world succeeds to the throne, and the old department must do their best to assist. ”

The Emperor said, "I think again. ”

Concubine Qiong didn't speak.

On the way back, the prince thought about it, but he still felt that he should tell Nan Qi first so that he could be prepared.

"Hezhou, you said that after Nanqi knew, would he be willing to inherit the throne and protect southern Xinjiang. ”

He Zhou thought for a while and said, "It should be, the revenge of killing his father, he is not a saint, so he won't just forget it, but I'm more worried about Xiao Yan'er, I'm afraid that after she arrives in southern Xinjiang, she will take risks." ”

The prince got along with her for a long time, and found more and more that she was a crazy person in her bones, on the one hand, she fully supported the giants of Chu to buy the grain of the Shang Kingdom, and made a big move to disturb the market of the Shang Kingdom with antique treasures, and on the other hand, he wanted to take advantage of the ambition of the King of Ling to collect the army in the hands of the vassal kings.

This time the Jin people murdered the king of Yunnan, she will definitely find a way to return it and dispel the impact of the death of the king of Yunnan, I really don't know what she wants to do this time.

That night, the prince took Hezhou quietly to the Yunnan Palace, Nanqi these

Rìzi is always troubled in his heart, firstly, the matter with the eldest princess ends without a problem, he is always unwilling in his heart, and secondly, he always feels that something has happened.

The prince visited secretly, and Nan Qi thought that he was here to persuade him again.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"The prince doesn't have to pay much attention, I have something important to find you tonight, find a secluded place and talk about it. ”

Nan Qi decided to be a little strange, but he still took them to a secret room.

He Zhou spoke first, "The next words may be a blow, you should be prepared." ”

Nan Qi's heart suddenly panicked, "Say it." ”

The crown prince let out a sigh of relief, "The king of Yunnan died in the battle in southern Xinjiang. ”

Then he repeated the details of the battle report.

Nan Qi was already stunned on the spot, the prince raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, Nan Qi raised his eyes to look at the two of them, trying to see that they were joking, but he only saw that they were serious, and his face was full of regret and worry.

turned around violently, tears were pouring into his eyes, he had fantasized about the family reunion, and he had also imagined that the two brothers accompanied their father to drink all night, and they were proud, and their mother laughed and blamed.

I think of his voice teaching when I was a child, and the warmth and care in the letters over the years.

I couldn't help it, kneeling on the ground weakly, opening my mouth but not crying, the pain spread from my heart, my hands clenched into fists, propped up on the ground, trembling all over.

You always say goodbye, but you won't wait for me a little longer, and now I'm over your shoulder, and you can't see it.

The crown prince and He Zhou could only stand silently behind him and not disturb.

After a long time, Nan Qi maintained his original movements, knelt on the ground with his back to the prince, and said in a dumb voice, "I beg His Royal Highness the prince to allow the minister to send my father on his last journey." ”

The prince said, "Don't worry, I will definitely tell my father." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince. ”

Although He Zhou couldn't bear it, he still asked, "What if you want to go to southern Xinjiang to inherit the throne and take over the responsibility of the king of Yunnan?"

Nan Qi was silent for a long time, "Now that there are only my mother and second brother left in the family, I should take on the responsibility of being the head of the family, and the contradiction between the Jin State and the Chu State has reached such a point, and I should also take on the responsibility of protecting Southern Xinjiang." Whatever the people need, they will not give up. ”

The prince saw that he was sad and couldn't help himself, so he said, "The king of Yunnan must be very relieved to know, the hour is not early, we will go back first, you have to mourn, the family is still waiting for you." ”

He Zhou said, "Yes, you must be stronger, Xiao Yan'er has already rushed to southern Xinjiang, the situation is still stable for the time being, don't worry about it first." ”

"It's inconvenient today, so I won't send it. ”

The two of them left.

He Zhou said, "I didn't expect him to figure it out all at once." ”

The prince said, "Since they grew up in the family, this family consciousness has long grown in their blood and bones, and the responsibility of generations also flows in their bodies, so at this time, they hate reason." ”

He Zhou thought for a while and said, "Is that Xiao Yan'er also like this, she could have been at ease, but because of these things in her bones, there is an inevitable bond." ”

The prince looked up at the endless night sky, "Yes. ”

That night, the letter from King Ling was finally delivered, and the queen was assassinated, and because of the long distance, she hid in the fiefdom.

Although the emperor did not cry when he heard this, he sat for half the night, so people went like this one by one, and she had no more before she died

Well, now that people are gone, they can't seem to remember anything wrong with her.

Yining cried for several hours in the emperor's bedroom, clamoring to go to the imperial brother's fiefdom, to see the queen mother, and to ask the imperial brother how to protect the queen mother.

That night, news came out from the palace that the queen, who had been seriously ill for a long time, had passed away.

The emperor only said to Yi Ning, "Your mother is the mother of a country, the queen of the queen, naturally she wants to hide in the imperial mausoleum, you still keep filial piety for her in front of the spirit." ”

"Father, my queen mother is not here, I want to see her. ”

"Where can the queen be if she is not in the palace, Yining, you should be sensible, go and change into filial piety clothes, and let people prepare for the funeral. ”

Concubine Qiong persuaded, "Princess, you can't let people know that the queen has already left the palace, let's protect the dignity of the queen." ”

Yi Ning fell to the ground and cried for a long time before he went back with a sob.

In the second early dynasty, the crown prince announced the death of Wang Dao in Yunnan, and the government and the opposition were shocked.

While everyone was arguing, the emperor, who was ignoring political affairs, suddenly issued a holy decree to let Nanqi inherit the throne and go to southern Xinjiang to appease the hearts of the military and the people.

The ministers didn't have time to react.

After the decree was announced, it was sent to the palace of Yunnan.

The Yunnan Royal Mansion has been packing up its things since last night, just waiting for this holy decree.

After the crown prince left the court, he hurried to the Yunnan palace.

Nan Qi has changed into filial piety clothes, and the secret guards in the house have been prepared, and they are about to leave for southern Xinjiang.

The crown prince told Nan Qi about him, Xie Ling, and the emperor's plan, and asked him to prepare early.

Originally, this matter was only told to the king of Yunnan, the old marquis and Xie Ming, but the king of Yunnan went, and Nan Qi took his place, so he should also know about this plan.

Nan Qi listened and thought for a sentence, "I see, it seems that the minister almost missed this big plan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured, the minister must plan carefully." ”

He Zhou watched it from the side, and knew that he had made a decision, the eldest princess wrote a letter to break off the relationship, he had been bald for a long time, and now he can be regarded as having grown a lot, "Brother Nan, take care, by the way, be optimistic about Xiao Yan'er, don't let her run away on her own." ”

"Take care, I will. ”

Seeing the group leave like this, He Zhou only felt that the world had changed too quickly, and overnight, it was like a different person.

No matter how you look at the succession of bad news, it seems to be a bad omen, the queen and the king of Yunnan are people who cannot be reached by ordinary people, but their deaths have cast a shadow on the whole state of Chu.

After all, Yining failed to go to King Chengling's fiefdom, but knelt in front of the coffin containing the queen's dress and phoenix crown for many days, and the emperor seemed to feel a little indebted, and told the prince to treat Yining well in the future.

After Nan Qi left, the crown prince finally received the first good news, Xie Ling and Emperor Feng Yu did not die, the two escaped from death, and now they are planning big things in the Shang State and the Jin State, and the imperial uncle of the Emperor Qi expressed his willingness to cooperate with the Chu State.

He Zhou said, "They are really fine, it seems that Xiao Yan'er took the right risk." ”

Although the four words of escape from death are simple, how many dangers are contained in them, and there is a sister who risked the danger to attract the enemy, so she got such luck.

Thinking of this, He Zhou became a little worried, "I don't know how they are now, whether they are seriously injured or not, and I don't know when they will come back." ”
