The May sunlight shines through the hollow carved window lattice, spreading in the main hall of the Hehuan Hall, so that the whole hall is shrouded in a misty phantom, which is a little unreal.

After Gu Qingming left Jianzhang Palace, he hurried here, thinking about giving Yun Yao an explanation.

But when he stood at the door of the main hall and looked at the slender woman inside, holding a small baby in her arms, her face radiating a loving light, his heart couldn't help but soften.

In a trance, Gu Qingming seemed to feel that he had been looking forward to the picture in front of him for a long time, his wife, and children......

Perhaps Gu Qingming's eyes were too hot, Yun Yao quickly noticed him.

After entering the Ning Palace, the two had not seen each other for a long time, and when they suddenly saw each other, Yun Yao was also happy in her heart, and stepped forward to say hello: "The general seems to have lost some weight." ”

"Your Majesty has first ascended to the throne, and there are many things in the court, so I am busy. Gu Qingming explained, remembering what Shen Che had said to him, he spoke directly, "Miss Wu will leave in the afternoon, and I have already made it clear to her." ”

Hearing this, Yun Yao smiled brightly, but didn't say anything.

Gu Qingming misunderstood the meaning of this smile, and couldn't help but be anxious: "It's true, you believe me!" These days are too busy, so I didn't think of solving this matter for a while, but today I made everything I needed to say clear, and she also promised to return to her hometown in Southwest County, so ......"

"Poof-" Yun Yao looked at Gu Qingming's anxious explanation, and smiled even more happily, "How could I ever say that I didn't believe you? It's just that you have to bear a negative name for me. ”

"I've never given my heart, so why should I say it?" Gu Qingming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yun Yao's attitude, "Although this matter is something that I and King Xiaoyao are ashamed of her, but instead of making you sad, I feel that now is the best result." ”

Yun Yao heard this, and thought in her heart: Who said that military generals are rough people and don't know how to be in the wind and snow? This General Gu is not much better than the merry and talented man who learns and is rich and rich.

"I understand your intentions, and you can rest assured that if Miss Wu has any difficulties in the future, I will do my best to help her. Yun Yao said, "It can be regarded as making some compensation for you and the King of Ease." ”

"A-Yao, thank you. Gu Qingming was emotional, and immediately wanted to hug Yun Yao into his arms, but before he got closer, the milk doll in Yun Yao's arms opened her eyes, and after the bright eyes turned around, she opened her mouth and cried out.

Because the child was born prematurely and had some congenital deficiencies, the cry was not particularly bright, even intermittent, and there was a feeling that he couldn't change it in one breath and almost pumped it out.

Gu Qingming made a move, his face darkened slightly, and he felt that this little milk baby was quite in the way. It was not easy for him to meet Yun Yao, but Yun Yao was holding the little milk baby all the time, and he was so angry that he wanted to throw the little guy out.

Yun Yao also seemed to notice Gu Qingming's actions just now, her face blushed, and then she lowered her head to coax the child, her movements were skillful, and her tone was gentle, as if she was used to doing these things.

"Ah Yao will definitely be a good mother in the future. Gu Qingming felt it, and the scene of him and Yun Yao's children and grandchildren going around his knees even appeared in his mind.

"I also drove ducks to the shelves to take care of this little prince. Yun Yao was not so optimistic, "It's been almost a month, Your Majesty hasn't given the little prince a name yet, and Yingquan and her child have no news, and I don't know how to place this child......"

"Don't you even know that?" Gu Qingming was a little surprised, "Could it be that you have been taking care of children all day long, and you have never heard such a big news?"

Yun Yao was stunned: "What news?"

In fact, Gu Qingming guessed correctly, Yun Yao has been a little busy recently, first the palace was busy with her palace maids and eunuchs, then a few old friends chatted back and forth, and then they were busy taking care of the children, and Wu Qianwen's incident happened, but she didn't inquire too much about what the news was.

And there are not many palace people in the Hehuan Hall now, except for the bamboo branches and chrysanthemum leaves, as well as the nurse who takes care of the little prince, and the two grandmothers, everyone else has returned to the internal affairs office to stand by, ready to rearrange errands.

In this way, naturally no one specifically inquired about the news.

"King Rui Shen Chi has arrived at Cizhu Town, fifty miles away, with the queen mother and the eldest prince, and it will take about three or five days to reach the capital. And the phoenix of the Empress Dowager Jiang of Yiguo is almost here, according to the calculation of the footsteps, maybe the Empress Dowager and the Empress Mother will enter Beijing at the same time. Gu Qingming told the news he had.

Yun Yao finally understood why Gu Qingming was so busy.

Now that the Daning Civil War is basically over, all people and things are under Shen Che's control, and everything is developing towards a predetermined trajectory, but only Shen Chi, the king of Rui, is an outlier.

King Rui was the only feudal king who did not participate in the war during the civil war, which means that the soldiers and horses of Rui were the most intact among all the feudal countries. In addition, there were rumors in the past that King Rui recruited troops and horses in the south, and took the opportunity to expand a lot of troops and horses, which can be regarded as a potential threat to Shen Che.

Shen Chi has Lu Yingquan and the eldest prince in his hands, and if he wants to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he must think long-term.

Yun Yao didn't understand these big layouts, and she couldn't participate, and Shen Che's most trusted person was undoubtedly Gu Qingming, so this matter could only be handed over to Gu Qingming.

What's more, Empress Dowager Jiang also entered Beijing at this time, if Empress Dowager Jiang knew that Jiang Yi left a posthumous son, would she deliberately attack Lu Yingquan and the eldest prince for the status of the second prince?

All of these are things that Shen Che and Gu Qingming must consider.

"I know you're busy, so I won't delay you too much. I heard that Narui King Shen Chi is impulsive and brainless, but he can preserve his strength in the civil war, and he holds Yingquan and the eldest prince in his hands, thinking that it is not as useless as rumored, you take care of yourself. Yun Yao thought about it and admonished.

"Don't worry, King Rui can be regarded as growing up with me, although I don't know everything about him, I can also be called a knowledgeable person, he can't help me, and he won't be stupid enough to go against the emperor at this moment. What he asked for was nothing more than to use the queen mother and the eldest prince to ask the emperor for more benefits. Gu Qingming comforted.

Hearing this, Yun Yao breathed a sigh of relief, if he just asked for some benefits, it meant that King Rui and the emperor would not tear their faces, and then Lu Yingquan and the eldest prince would not be in danger of their lives.

The two talked for a while, seeing that the time was not early, and a young man from Gu Jiajun came to Hehuan Hall to find Gu Qingming and said that there was something he needed to decide, so he quit Yun Yao and left with the young general.

After leaving, there was no news for four or five days, and when I saw it again, it was when King Rui took Lu Yingquan, the eldest prince, and the Empress Dowager Jiang into Beijing at the same time.

It's just that King Rui and his family took the east gate, and when they entered Beijing, they went straight to the Chaoyang Gate of the palace, while the Empress Dowager Jiang took the south gate, and after entering Beijing, Shen Che sent people to enter the palace from the Qingwu Gate.

Speaking of which, Empress Dowager Jiang and Lu Yingquan can also be said to have the same end.

Both of them left from the Ning Palace, and they both left in disgrace, but they came back with glory, and now one is the queen mother, and the other is the queen of the stone.

Although Lu Yingquan was kidnapped into Beijing by King Rui, with Gu Qingming's assurance, Yun Yao was relieved and felt that Lu Yingquan would not be in any danger.

But when she heard that King Rui led people to confront Shen Che in front of Chaoyang Gate, her heart still couldn't help but tighten.

At this time, Empress Dowager Jiang had already entered the Ning Palace, and when she heard that Jiang Yi's child was raised by Yun Yao in the Hehuan Palace, she didn't care about resting, and came directly to the Hehuan Palace, clamoring to take the child away.

Yun Yao was worried about Lu Yingquan in her heart, and knew that Empress Dowager Jiang would not do anything to the second prince, so she didn't stop it, and let Empress Dowager Jiang take the second prince away, so she didn't hesitate to leave the Hehuan Hall and go to Chaoyangmen.

On the upper floor of the Imperial City, Shen Che looked condescendingly at Shen Chi outside the Chaoyang Gate, Gu Qingming stood beside Shen Che, not wearing armor, still wearing a blue robe, but it was not inferior to Shen Che in the bright yellow dragon robe.

Yun Yao quietly walked to Gu Qingming's side, looked down, but saw one or two hundred guards standing behind Shen Chi, one of them was standing a distance of one or two steps behind Shen Chi, holding a knife to land Yingquan's neck, while the eldest prince was hugged by the woman in Chinese clothes beside Shen Chi, not crying or making trouble, very quiet.

The woman in the gorgeous costume must be Princess Rui, she is standing by Shen Chi's side, but she is not stage frightened, even if she is surrounded by Gu Qingming's soldiers and horses at this time, and there are Gu Chen, Gu Yan and others standing around, as well as the dead soldiers sent by Shen Che to save people in Rui Country before.

The atmosphere is not good, and it is not even an exaggeration to describe it as sabre-rattling.

Yun Yao glanced at Gu Qingming and thought: Obviously, he said that King Rui would not do anything to Yingquan, but now Yingquan has a knife around his neck.

"Old Seven, I really didn't expect that after going around and around for so many years, you were the last one to sit in this position. "King Rui has always been known for being impulsive and brainless, so he speaks more directly, and his voice can be heard even when he stands on top of the high imperial city.

"Fifth brother, explain your intentions. Shen Che stared at Shen Chi with a pair of eagle-like eyes, and said, "Daning has experienced a civil war, and the waste is serious, and I have no intention of clashing with the fifth brother. What are the conditions for the fifth brother, just mention it. ”

Hearing Shen Che's words, Yun Yao's heart relaxed a little, as long as the conditions can be discussed, then Lu Yingquan will definitely be fine, after all, the face of the royal family is important, and no one wants to be that treacherous person.

"Hahaha-" Shen Chi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Old Seven, for the sake of this woman, are you really willing to compromise anything......?" I want you to abdicate and make way for Xian?"

When the words fell, the entire Chaoyang Gate fell into a dead silence for three miles, no one spoke, and even the faces of the Praetorian Guards surrounding Shen Chi were drenched in cold sweat.

The sunlight was a little dazzling, Yun Yao tilted her head slightly, looking at Shen Che, as if waiting for him to answer.

And waiting together, there is also Lu Yingquan who was kidnapped. She raised her head and looked at Shen Che, who was high above, she hadn't seen him for half a year, and he was already the emperor of the world.

Shen Che's face was dark and terrifying, he pursed his lips, frowned, and didn't speak for a long time, until Shen Chi was almost impatient, and he spit out a sentence:

"Fifth brother, don't get an inch. ”
