7 The emperor will always come to my courtyard these days, and I behave very well-behaved, just because I don't want to marry the Nan clan and want to please him.

Tonight, His Royal Highness will intercept and kill General Lu's people outside the palace, and then try to retreat after quickly breaking into the palace, I must trap the emperor and give them plenty of time.

"Chen Yuan, I want to hear you play the mountains and flowing water." He looked tired, and the recent exhortations of the ministers were afraid that they would drown him.

"Brother Jingxuan, did the envoy of the Southern Clan urge me to get married?" I asked.

"Uh-huh......

"I'll get married, right?" I asked tentatively.

"No, it won't." He looked up, his eyes unfathomable.

Okay, Jingxuan, let's put all the war in this palace, and the smoke and dust will be put back in its place.

"Chen Yuan, as I said before, I only want to marry you." He picked me up and put me on the bed, "I just want to marry you so far."

"Hmm......" I scoffed silently.

He prostrate on top of me, gasping lowly, "I'm still childless, aren't you curious?"

"The people in the palace are all said to be holy today...... No, I can't." I gently clasped my fingers on the back of his shoulder.

"Heh......" he laughed sullenly at the side of my neck, "because you let Wang Decai put medicine in the incense that I liked to smell when I was a concubine......

He lifted his upper body, I guess he saw the panic in my eyes, and he gently brushed the broken hair on my forehead, "Actually, you don't have to, every time I let them drink the soup, it's not your child, I don't want it, that fragrant smell reminds me of you every time I smell it, and I think you have always loved me......

"Yes, I love you, and I don't want anyone else to have children with you." I tilted my head to the side and feigned composure, what else did he know?

He straightened my head, "Chenyuan, tell me what you want?" How can you be as happy as you used to?"

I'm happy when you're dead. I thought silently.

"Brother Jingxuan, I'm very happy to be with you, people always have to grow up." I put my hand around his neck and kissed his eyes, my kiss trembling and tossing around his brow, his eyes flickering with coolness.

"Chen Yuan, give me a prince."

"Then I have to be a concubine first, otherwise I won't be a prince, it's a ......" I smiled lightly, and didn't continue, the current queen mother secretly climbed into the bed of the first emperor, and gave birth to him unclearly, the queen was merciful, afraid that he would suffer outside the palace, so she took it and raised it in front of her, until Hua Guifei entered the harem before she took him back to raise, this experience also created his inferiority complex and conceited personality.

The Emperor rolled over and fell silent.

"Brother Jingxuan, I'll talk about it later, I just want to be with you now......" I wrapped my arms around him from behind, afraid that I had said the wrong thing, afraid that he would get up and leave.

When I woke up, my surroundings were empty, and I was sore all over, and I was tossed so hard last night. However, hearing the dense footsteps outside the courtyard, I knew that the plan of the Fifth Highness and Yeluqi must be going well.

The emperor's pro-army will search for a large amount of evidence of illegal dealings with the Nan clan in General Lu's mansion, which is mixed with the military information on the border, revealing that the military governor of the border is General Lu's secret chess, and the corpses displayed outside the palace are all assassins who intend to break into the palace, and the Imperial City Division, which should be closely protected, was also transferred out of the gate post today, everything is so coincidental, everything points to General Lu's plot.

I went to the cold palace to visit Lu Zhenrong, she was unkempt and kept shouting to see the emperor.

"Why are you here? It's all you, it must be you! Why do you slander my father, my father will not fornicate with the Nan clan at all!" She pointed at me, her eyes bloodshot.

"He didn't fornicate with the Nan clan, because he fornicated with Xiliang! It was he who delivered military information to Xiliang and killed my father! Shouldn't he, as a lieutenant general, sell his master for glory, and not deserve to die? As a courtier, he collaborated with the enemy and treason, shouldn't he be killed?!" I approached her step by step.

She looked at me in disbelief.

"How do I know? How do you think that with you at that time, you would have the opportunity to be appointed to marry the prince? My father is just a friend of the king of Yongyang, and he has never exceeded the responsibility of a courtier, but he was involved in the whirlpool of seizing the heir early under your father's design! Oh, can your father and the Queen Mother's pickled pies really be hidden?"

"Ever since you left the Qingfeng Courtyard, there have been many disasters, Chen Yuan, you are a disaster star!! She lunged at me and was stopped by my father-in-law.

"You're right, I'm a calamity, and you found the witch villain in my room, have you forgotten?" I paced around her.

"Hahahaha" she laughed maniacally, "That villain, do you think the emperor really loves you, that's the game he asked me to do, it's the game he wants to do, hahaha!" It's not me, it's your brother Jing Xuan who wants to turn you into a disaster star, hahahaha!"

"Poison wine!" I heard the struggle and insults behind me, and my father-in-law came over and said, "Princess, it's done."

I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and walked out of the cold palace.

General Lu was imprisoned, the post of director of the Imperial City Department was vacant, the military governor of the border was sent by the emperor to kill on the spot, and the situation in Daguang of the Southern Clan was critical.

However, the troops on the border began to partially withdraw and return to Beijing, and the emperor gradually installed his own people, which gave the southern people a rare respite, and the time was almost up.

08

The emperor's brows are tightened day after day, but I am happy day after day, he has been busy dealing with the bad debts of General Lu's army for the past few days, and he has not come to my small courtyard for a long time.

"Princess, Yeluqi has successfully returned to the Southern Clan." Huaxi leaned beside me and whispered.

"Well, what about the Fifth Highness?" I put down the scroll in my hand.

"I'm here!" A familiar male voice rang out behind him.

"Brother Jingfeng, how can you venture into here so much?" There was concern and dissatisfaction in my tone.

"Chen Yuan, you pack up your things and come with me, I have already arranged for the person who will pick up the line outside the palace......" He wanted to take my hand.

"No, with the emperor's ruthlessness, the reason why he has been imprisoning the Lu dog thief must have found out that Xiliang and the Queen Mother are still in contact, and now is a good time to bring down the Queen Mother, at least we have to make them discordant and suspicious......" I pondered slightly.

"You don't have to worry about these things in the future, I will arrange the rest, Chen Yuan, have you forgotten the last words of the queen mother?" Jing Feng looked angry, "Still, you really want to be with him every day and give him a child!"

"I didn't! Brother Jingfeng, I can't give up halfway, now we have half of the success, Yeluqi has returned to the Nan Clan, and now the crisis between the Nan Clan and Daguang and the momentum we created in the Nan Clan before will definitely help him grasp the overall situation of the shogunate, presumably he is already rectifying the army while the border and the central garrison are handing over! Next is Xiliang, my brother is already organizing the people on the border of Xiliang to move through the famine......" I was full of tears on my face, and grabbed Jing Feng with my backhand.

"Listen to me, you must return to the Imperial Tomb now, Brother Jingfeng, I promise you, after the matter is completed, I will stay in front of you and not go anywhere...... Okay?" Tears wet my eyelashes, making it difficult for me to see.

"We finally got in touch with the little prince Yeluqi, and we were able to explain that he was involved in our plan, and he gambled his life and all the ...... of the Southern Clan Now that the Nan clan is under the control of Daguang, do you want me to leave and let the emperor attack the Nan clan in a fit of rage?"

He gently wiped my tears and shook my hand.

"Chen Yuan, I hope you remember what you said, everything is for the sake of great things." Jing Feng turned around and walked out the door.

I exhaled heavily, and there was a faint uneasiness in my heart, yes, the emperor was so ruthless, how could he not want to go to the imperial mausoleum to see.

"Huaxi, quick, comb my hair, I have to go to the emperor."

Although it was late in the night, I knew that he must not have slept, and I drove to the front hall.

"Tatsumoto...... Why have you ever cried?" When he saw me, he came over and put his cloak on top of me.

"Brother Jingxuan...... I'm having nightmares," he said, taking me by the hand and walking to the inner sanctum.

"What kind of dreams?"

"Dreaming ...... The witch villain I found in my yard before" I bit my lower lip "I dreamed that the Queen Mother was very angry, and she said to give me a white silk ......" My voice was full of tears, and I secretly watched his reaction.

He pursed his lips and patted me on the back, "I'm not going to let this happen again."

"Spring is blooming, let's go spring hunting together, shall we?" I rested my head on his shoulder, "I want to leave the palace for a while."

I know that he has been a little chaotic in the harem recently, and there are occasional conflicts on the border, and he may refuse me, but I still have to give it a try, and I want to create the best opportunity for His Royal Highness to return to the imperial tomb.

His eyes darkened, and he stared at me, "Okay."

I breathed a sigh of relief and slept with him in peace, my forehead against his nose, listening to his muffled talk.

"Chen Yuan, I am already communicating with the Ministry of Rites about marrying you......

"Huh?"

"Although you are the daughter of a loyal martyr, you have been raised by Empress Wende since childhood, and you are now a nominal princess, so it is unreasonable to marry."

"Have you ever thought about marrying me? Why do you want me to be a princess?" I asked him deliberately.

"I won't marry you, the Nan clan is not worthy of marrying a princess. I just want to see if your feelings for me are still there......" He said with a deep sense of weariness

I opened my eyes wide in the darkness and sneered inwardly. In the final analysis, I am a chess piece, although the queen mother is the queen mother, she still meddles in the affairs of the previous dynasty and constantly cultivates cronies among the courtiers. Emperor, you just want to take advantage of the affairs of the Southern Clan and relatives to see the dissidents.

"Chen Yuan, I know that the Queen Mother has asked you to punish you for kneeling in the palace, and I will settle everything......" He fell into a deep sleep.

I was nervous and couldn't sleep, come on, it's almost over.

……

"Queen Mother, Erchen really wants to breed an heir for the emperor......

"Shut up! Who gave you the audacity to dare to come to the temple every day and say some bastard things!" The Queen Mother stood in front of the palace with the support of Gonggong Zhang, and she was willing to see me.

"Queen Mother, Erchen really likes the emperor, Erchen only wants to accompany the emperor all the time......" I knelt, trying to make myself look miserable.

"You also deserve to like the emperor, the mourning family sees that you have forgotten your identity, and you have forgotten how you begged the mourning family to let that sinner go!" The Queen Mother condescended and walked in front of me.

"Queen Mother, I won't tell you about Empress Wende, the porridge you gave me ......" I looked panicked.

"Shut up!" A slap came, and I fell to the ground, "Since the emperor is not sensible, then the mourning family will help him be sensible, and someone will come......

I watched the cup of poisoned wine get closer and closer to me, and I didn't know if I didn't make the right bet this time, but it was better to die, at least I didn't have to live in this treacherous hell every day.

"Stop!" The wine glass was knocked to the ground, and I looked at the angry emperor next to Huaxi, and it wasn't over yet.

"Mother, I'm twenty-three years old, not three, not thirteen." He stood still.

"The emperor forgot, you can live to be twenty-three years old......

"Why, the queen mother wants to remind me again, it is you who helped me ascend to the throne of God, and you have to tell me that the emperor can do it, and the thirteenth brother can also do it! In this world, I am the emperor!" His whole body burst out with a terrifying aura.

Through the case of General Lü's collaboration with the enemy and treason, the emperor successfully implicated several courtiers in front of the empress dowager, and the border countries that the empress dowager had used when seizing the throne were all severed to this day, and their entanglement and desire for power all exploded.

The front of the harem is even more chaotic, I gently shake the fan, summer is coming~

[Brother, I haven't written for a long time, I know that you are worried about my body, I am fine, but I am upset, and I often think of Daddy and Auntie, and the days when Daddy took us on horseback. I look forward to seeing you every day. April 20, 16th year of Chen Yuan Guangcheng]

The spring hunt has not started for a long time, and although I am in a hurry, it is not that there is nothing else to do. Yeluqi sent a message that he had won the support of the courtiers and nobles of the Nan tribe, and that the upper and lower troops of the Nan tribe were now under his control, and that he could contain the Daguang army on the border for more than a month.

At the same time, the elite troops have been sent to set off overnight, counting the days, it is expected to arrive at the outskirts of the city on the 20th, and the cronies on the brother's side are also slowly moving east, trying to cut off the connection between the garrison in the east and the capital, only the west, which is the army of the queen mother's family, as long as the west reacts slowly enough......

I don't know if the Imperial Tomb and the old department of King Yong have converged, but there is no news, is Brother Jingfeng angry with me? My hand tapped lightly on the table, my brow furrowed.

Everything is waiting for the spring hunt, the spring hunting place is very close to the imperial tomb, the itinerary only needs more than a day, if the emperor plans to go to the spring hunt, he will not pay extra attention to the imperial tomb, I have never heard of the imperial tomb, they should have converged.

On the 10th of the day, the weather was getting warmer and warmer, and the emperor suddenly came to my courtyard in a good mood, and the shadow of the prince was long gone.

"I'm about to marry you, the mansion outside the palace is ready, and you will marry from there then......" He had just come down from the training ground, and it seemed that he hadn't had time to change his clothes, and I felt strange to his excited eyes, like the Third Highness, not like the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I think it's a little sudden, it's ...... over there in the southern country," I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled.

"It's a small country, I don't pay attention to it at all, and when the matter is settled here, I will personally lead the troops and pacify the shogunate!"

"Your Majesty, will the surrounding small countries feel that Daguang has backtracked and is called harmony, but in fact, they are recuperating and brazenly sending troops......

The emperor's eyes were as deep and terrifying as an ancient well, "Chen Yuan, are you happy about marrying me? Or is there something unsatisfactory, do you want me to inform Jing Feng?" He gently embraced me into his arms, but said the coldest words to the bone.

My heart pounded in my chest, I couldn't calm down, I desperately bit my lower lip, forced to suppress my unwarranted fear, he must know something, I jerked out the saber at his waist and took a step back.

Kill him, kill him now, and all of this can be over.

His body froze, and he suddenly began to speak out in pain, "Are you so breathless, Chen Yuan, why don't you wait?"

I stared at him with my eyes and I wanted to speak, but my lips trembled but I didn't say anything.

"Chen Yuan, I know that there are few people in the Imperial Tomb...... I also know that Yeluqi was the man who was about to enter your room......" He gently grasped the blade of his sword and walked towards me step by step.

My hand holding the sword began to tremble, and I stepped back step by step.

"Do you want to ask me what else I know?" His eyes were full of ruthlessness and loss.

"I know that the cup of poisonous wine of the Queen Mother was originally what you wanted...... I knew that in 20 days, Jeluqi would reach the capital......

He led the blade of his sword to his neck and smiled dumbly......

"Chen Yuan, I originally wanted this country to be for you, if I don't be ruthless and calculating, I can't be the emperor, and if I can't be the emperor, I can't marry you...... Hahaha, Chen Yuan, I think about it every day, what do you want, it turns out that you want my life, come on, kill me, Jing Feng in the prison will also be buried with you!"

My tears rolled down with a pull, and the sword in my hand fell to the ground with a deafening sound.

I crouched down, my head in my hands, and whimpered in pain.

"You kill me, you kill me, Jing Xuan, you kill me!"

He picked me up, put me on the bed, and gently stroked my face, "Chen Yuan, I won't kill you, I will marry you, and I will be good to you for the rest of my life."

"Will you kill Jing Feng?" I raised my face and stared into his eyes, and the fear in my eyes must have been clear: "I want him to live, woo......

"I won't kill him, you're good, I'm not going to kill him, you're good, Chenyuan, when you first entered the palace, I fell in love with you, fluffy and round, everyone said that this was General Jiang's daughter, I saw that you didn't admit defeat, and I fell in love with ...... Do you remember, we sneaked out of the palace, and Mr. Jianghu said that you have the life of the queen, and I thought, I want to be the emperor, but I will be an outcast......

I fell asleep in his soft coaxing, I was tired, I had lived in the torment of the past five years, I was so tired.
