Chapter 35: Old Things

Early the next morning, Fu Yao also rushed back.

After Fu Yao came back, he heard that the people of Pangzhou were all right, but he still didn't worry about Sheng Yunzhi, and as soon as he entered Pangzhou, he went straight to the inn to find Sheng Yunzhi.

Fu Yao pushed open the door and ran to Sheng Yunzhi and hugged her. Sheng Yunzhi lay in Fu Yao's arms and asked him to hold it well.

"Okay, I'm fine. You're holding me so tightly, I'm almost out of breath. ”​

"I'm sorry I didn't protect you." Fu Yao realized that he was in too much of a hurry, and hurriedly let go of Sheng Yunzhi.

"It's fine. However, I owe you and Cheng Yu their lives now. ”​

"Why?"

"Later, he bleed and lured the Gu worm to himself, and he suffered for me for two days."

"What about me?"

"You risked your life because of me, and went to the peace alone, don't I owe you your life?"

"What does the lady want to pay back?"

Sheng Yunzhi looked at Fu Yao with a wicked smile on his face, and hurriedly kept his distance away from Fu Yao.

"Casual ...... Whatever you want. ”​

After Sheng Yunzhi finished speaking, Fu Yao hugged her again.

"Why don't you make a promise to that lady?"

"No, not right now." Sheng Yunzhi pushed Fu Yao away, his face flushed a little, "They are all ready to leave." ”​

"Okay, don't worry, Madame can't run away anyway."

Sheng Yunzhi stopped talking and ran out, thinking that Fu Yao didn't know how to be ashamed.

Pangzhou has now returned to normal, and Fu Yao and the others also embarked on the road back to the palace after saying goodbye to Cui Lin.

Because they were not in a hurry to return to the palace, they walked slowly, delayed for two days, and returned to the palace after ten days.

Sheng Lianshuo rewarded all the people who went to Pangzhou, knowing that Sheng Yunzhi wanted to punish her for being grounded for a month after sneaking over. But because Sheng Yunzhi had a little credit, and Fu Yao and Cheng Yu were speaking for her on the side, Sheng Lianshuo gave up and stopped pursuing it.

Two days later, Feng Chu, as the envoy of the peace, came in person, saying that he apologized to Shao Chong on behalf of Gu Di.

"The envoy of Shuping pays a visit to King Shaochong." A group of Shuping people came to the main hall, which was very grand.

"No courtesy." Although Sheng Lianshuo didn't know what Shu Ping wanted to do, he still pretended on the surface and couldn't lose Shao Chong's courtesy.

"A month ago, when I was refining Gu in the witch doctor, I accidentally released the Gu worms into Pangzhou, but the witch doctor concealed it and did not report it, which caused the people of Pangzhou to become sick. Chente apologized to Shao Chong on behalf of Shuping, and King Shuping had personally dealt with the witch doctor, and asked King Shao Chong for his understanding. ”​

"How can the lives of nearly 1,000 people in Pangzhou be saved by your apology?"

"King Shao Chong doesn't have to worry, we are here this time to solve this matter. Shu Ping specially offered 10,000 taels of gold, as well as five Gu worms specially made by the witch doctor that can cure a hundred poisons, hoping to offset the losses of Pangzhou and Shao Chong, and asked King Shao Chong to accept it. ”​

Saying that, Feng Chu asked people to open the box they brought, and it was really full of boxes of gold.

This scene surprised all the ministers present, they never thought that the peace would be so generous.

"Okay, since Shuping sincerely seeks peace, then Shao Chong should not be pursued anymore, and the envoys should be seated."

"Thank you, King Shaochong."

After the banquet, Sheng Lianshuo sent someone to take them to the empty dormitory in the palace to rest. It's just that Feng Chu was not idle, and after the eunuchs left, Feng Chu slipped out of the dormitory alone.

"Concubine Xu."

"Why did Lord Feng choose such a time, and he wasn't afraid of being seen?"

"Don't worry, concubine, I was sure that no one was following me before I came out. Presumably, the concubine also heard about Pangzhou this morning, and now Pangzhou can't serve it in one pot. ”​

"What happened, isn't Fu Yao your person, how can he help them?"

"The concubine doesn't know, the prince of the world has spoken disrespectfully to King Shuping several times for the woman next to him, and he also negotiated terms with King Shuping, so we have to exterminate the Gu worms."

"It's not surprising that Fu Yao had previously negotiated conditions with the palace for her. Then aren't you afraid of his rebellion?"

"Even if the prince doesn't help Shuping, he is also a member of the royal family, then his identity will be exposed sooner or later, which is not good for the prince."

Sheng Yunzhi is all on him, if Sheng Lianshuo really knows his identity, Sheng Yunzhi will definitely intercede for him. Sheng Lianshuo may not do anything to Fu Yao because Sheng Yunzhi, after all, Sheng Lianshuo loves his sister the most. ”​

"The concubine means ......"

"Kill Sheng Yunzhi and blame Sheng Lianshuo's people."

"But Sheng Lianshuo has no reason to do this."

"There is no reason, manslaughter is enough to provoke the relationship between the two of them."

"Okay, then we will make a decision after the minister returns to Shuping and discusses with King Shuping."

"What's next for King Shuping?"

"What King Shuping thinks is that although we have not succeeded in seizing Pangzhou, but the rumors have spread, so we might as well take advantage of the situation to create another wave of rumors and completely disturb the hearts of the people of Shao Chong. If Sheng Lianshuo loses the support of the people, how can he rule a country?"

"King Shuping is far-sighted, which makes this palace really admire. I don't know where King Shuping wants to implement his plan next, and do you need our cooperation?"

"We settled on Ulcheng, which is close to Pangzhou, and Nanzhen, which is the southernmost area. The people in these two places should not soon know the news that the envoys from Shuping had come to the capital, and Ulcheng and Nanzhen were far away from the capital of Shaochong, so it was easier to start. Also, we need the prime minister to do something. ”​

"Lord Feng, please speak."

"We want the prime minister to send people to buy a lot of grain, so that the people there will think that Shao Chong has caused a famine, so that they can firmly believe in the rumors that Shao Chong is going to perish."

"Okay, Hongu knows."

"In this case, then the cooperation is pleasant, and the minister is waiting for the good news of the prime minister."

After Feng Chu finished speaking, he walked out from the main gate, because Xu Xiujun asked the palace people to retreat, and there was no one guarding the entrance of Anhong Palace.

It's just that Feng Chu didn't see Xu Fanning hiding on the side.

Although when Xu Fanning came, Feng Chu had already finished the plan, and Xu Fanning didn't hear anything, but she heard the words "Shao Chong's demise" and "happy cooperation".

These words are enough for Xu Fanning to understand that Xu Xiujun has colluded with the peace and wants to rebel.

Xu Fanning had always thought that Xu Xiujun was just because Zheng Hui couldn't swallow this breath because she couldn't have children, so she targeted Sheng Lianshuo and Sheng Yunzhi everywhere. There was also Ji Chunban's matter, she also thought that Xu Xiujun asked her to stare at Sheng Lianshuo because she wanted Sheng Lianshuo to be obedient.

But thinking about it today, Xu Xiujun's motive is indeed not so simple, what she wants is not to make Zheng Hui's children obedient or teach them a lesson, but to let them die.

Although Xu Xiujun said that she was Xu Fanning's aunt, Xu Fanning was also from Shaochong, for the sake of her own homeland and the well-being of the people, she couldn't watch Xu Xiujun unite with the prime minister and Shuping to let her homeland be filled with gunsmoke.

Xu Fanning thought about it, and finally set foot on the road to Chengming Palace.

Xu Fanning thought about her rhetoric over and over again on the road, she wanted to make Xu Xiujun's crime lighter.

But after Xu Fanning entered the Chengming Palace, he forgot all the words he had thought of, and his mind was instantly blank.

"Your Majesty."

Sheng Lianshuo was a little surprised to see Xu Fanning coming alone, because she had accompanied Xu Xiujun in the past.

"What?"

"Ning'er ......" Xu Fanning opened his mouth slowly, and just wanted to tell the truth, but was attracted by the sachet in Sheng Lianshuo's hand.

"What's wrong?" Sheng Lianshuo also noticed that something was wrong with Xu Fanning.

"Can the king show the sachet to Ning'er?"

Sheng Lianshuo saw that Xu Fanning's expression was a little serious, so he gave the sachet to Sun Zhi and asked Sun Zhi to hand it over to her.

"Is it embroidered on it?" Xu Fanning touched the material of the sachet, which seemed to be of the highest quality.

"Exactly."

"Then Ning'er dared to ask, this sachet was left by the first princess?"

Sheng Lianshuo heard Xu Fanning ask this, and seemed to know a lot about this sachet, so he let the palace people go out.

"Exactly. This sachet was given to the mother by the father, and the mother did not wear it for a long time, so it has been well preserved. ”​

"What? The king said it was sent by the king?"

"Is there anything wrong?"

Xu Fanning thought to herself, this misunderstanding was a big problem, so she told everything she knew.

Combined with the information Xu Fanning just learned, this is what happened.

Twenty-two years ago, the Three Kingdoms had just ended the second war, and Shao Chong was in urgent need of silver to rectify, so he had to marry Xu Xiu, the sister of a wealthy merchant, as a side concubine.

Since Sheng Wen only had Zheng Rui alone in his heart, he didn't want Xu Xiujun to give birth to his child, but it was not a way to always feed the avoidance soup.

Therefore, Sheng Wen gave Zheng Hui a sachet filled with musk after Xu Xiujun became pregnant, and asked Zheng Hui to visit Xu Xiujun often.

Finally, a few months later, Xu Xiujun had a miscarriage, and because Xu Xiujun was secretly given a child-avoiding medicine all year round, Xu Xiujun was unable to give birth again.

The doctors in the palace were all ordered by Sheng Wen and did not inform Xu Xiujun of the truth, only saying that it was caused by Xu Xiujun's cold.

But Xu Xiujun didn't believe it, so he asked a doctor outside the uterus to check, and Xu Xiujun knew that he had a miscarriage because he smelled musk.

Xu Xiujun was only slightly suspicious of Zheng Rui at first, but she wasn't completely sure. It wasn't until five or six days after Xu Xiujun gave birth that she saw that Zheng Hui did not wear the previous sachet but changed it to a new one, and she dared to be sure that Zheng Hui had done it.

Zheng Rui's change of sachet is naturally because Sheng Wen gave her a new sachet for her to change. Sheng Wen wanted Xu Xiujun to mistakenly think that Zheng Hui had harmed her child, so that it would be more like.

So later, Xu Xiujun's hostility towards Zheng Hui only increased, and even after she killed Zheng Hui, she refused to let go of her two children.

"In this way, it should be that my aunt has always misunderstood the first princess, and she should hate the first king. It's better for Ning'er to tell her aunt the truth, and her aunt shouldn't be hostile to the king anymore. ”​

"No need, for so many years, Concubine Xu has been blinded by hatred, even if you tell her the truth, she won't believe it."

"......" If she knew, would she not have joined forces to deal with Shao Chong, Xu Fanning wanted to say, but in the end she didn't say it.

"By the way, what did you just come here for?"

"No, nothing. Ning Er remembered that there were still some things, so she didn't bother the king. With that, Xu Fanning hurriedly left the Chengming Palace.

In less than half an hour, she knew two incredible things at the same time, and she needed to calm down.

Sheng Lianshuo saw that Xu Fanning was hiding something from him, but Xu Fanning didn't plan to say that Sheng Lianshuo was not easy to ask.
