The carriage traveled slowly for a month, but it could be regarded as arriving in Xunzhou, Xia Jingyan took a look, it was a completely unfamiliar scene.

I have heard people say that Xunzhou is wide, spring and Jingming, no matter the four seasons, Xunzhou is always warm, even when it comes to the winter solstice, only need to burn one or two pieces of charcoal, it is the brightest place in the four rivers in the world, no wonder, the world wants to dominate the Nanjiang River.

It's a pity that even the richest place in the world, in Xia Jingyan's eyes, is not as good as Yingdu, which has four seasons of warmth and cold.

Xunzhou is bleak and cold, not as good as Yingdu Spring Jingming, Xia Jingyan thought silently in his heart.

"The old slave greets the queen's mother, the queen's mother is a thousand years old." The eunuch Rong Xu stepped forward and knelt down to worship Xia Jingyan, and the maids who followed Xia Jingyan also bowed down.

"Let's be even, what's the matter with Grandpa Rong?" Xia Jingyan raised his hand and said.

"Back to the mother's words, Xunzhou has arrived, His Majesty ordered, three days later, the ceremony will be carried out, the time is in a hurry, and please ask the queen to return to the palace earlier, the palace has prepared twenty-four mothers according to the rules, the mother is not familiar with the etiquette of the Zhou Palace, or to practice earlier, but can not go wrong in the ceremony, Niang Niang you are not only the queen of Zhou, you are also the princess of Mingxia, if you make a mistake, both countries will be ashamed."

"The palace knows it, and my father-in-law has told me."

"Hey, the old slave is in charge, and the mother has a good reputation......"

"She doesn't have to learn anything." Zhou Ranmiao's voice suddenly sounded, and Xia Jingyan and Rong Xu both turned their heads.

"Your Majesty, ...... you are" Eisu looked a little embarrassed.

Could it be that Zhou Ranmao has spoiled Xia Jingyan like this? As a queen, she doesn't even learn etiquette, so Zhou Ranmiao wants to bring Xia Jingyan's anxious temperament from the Dongjiang River to the Nanjiang River?

"She doesn't have to learn anything, I have decided to change the ceremony with the queen for the wedding of ordinary people, worship heaven and earth, the sun and the moon as a mirror, she doesn't need to learn those useless things, what she wants to do in the future, just rely on her own temperament." Zhou Ranmiao still insisted on his own ideas, so he didn't care about the emperor's etiquette.

Zhou Ranmiao knew that Xia Jingyan was used to being free, and it was impossible for Xia Jingyan to learn these etiquettes in just three days.

Also, their own parents...... I haven't seen their good daughter-in-law yet.

No matter how cold he is, Zhou Ranmiao always thinks of Xia Jingyan in his heart, although he still thinks of his own family.

"Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules......" Even Xia Jingyan couldn't stand it, and saluted and said.

And Zhou Ranmiao just pretended to be cold, he turned his head and looked at Xia Jingyan, "I, it's the rules, you just obey it." ”

"Yes......" Xia Jingyan could only respond.

"That's right, Rongsu, you go and take the queen to see that person, I still have a piece of money to criticize, I won't accompany the queen in the near future, the queen will be happy on her own."

"Your Majesty, who do you want Gonggong Rong to take his concubines to?" Xia Jingyan asked.

But Zhou Ranmiao didn't answer, he glanced at Xia Jingyan and left.

"Queen Mother, please." Rong Xu bowed down and invited Xia Jingyan.

"Who is Grandpa Rong going to take to see this palace?"

"I'll know when I go."

Xia Jingyan was full of doubts, but he could only follow Rong Su, no matter who he was, he would talk about it when he saw him.

Xia Jingyan originally thought, is he an envoy of the Dongjiang River? Xia Jingsheng sent to visit? It's just that I never thought that it was the person Xia Jingyan worried about day and night.

Zhao Jichen.

In the dark cold palace, Zhao Jichen nested in a small corner, the clothes on his body had been whipped to shreds, and the blood and rotten flesh were hanging on his clothes, the people who were tortured by Zhao Jichen were not ghosts, if he wasn't too familiar, I am afraid that even Xia Jingyan would not be able to recognize Zhao Jichen.

"Brother ...... Chen" Xia Jingyan's tears suddenly fell.

Zhao Jichen didn't respond, and he didn't move.

"What's wrong with you, brother and minister...... Don't scare Yan'er......" Xia Jingyan pounced, she didn't dare to hug Zhao Jichen, for fear of hurting him, tossing and turning for a long time, Xia Jingyan dared to gently grab Zhao Jichen's sleeve, she cried so much that she couldn't breathe.

However, Zhao Jichen never responded, he didn't faint...... He's still with his eyes open...... Why not respond......

"Queen Mother, General Zhao has suffered too much torture, and his spirit is a little trance-like, recently, His Majesty has sent someone to call many times, but General Zhao has never responded......" Rong Xu stepped forward tremblingly and said.

"What the hell is going on! Who did this to you! Isn't it Zhou Ranmao! Xia Jingyan was crazy, she grabbed Rong Su's neck and pressed it against the wall, and she couldn't stop roaring.

"Niangniang can't call Your Majesty by name......"

"I'll let you answer me!"

"Not Your Majesty...... Your Majesty has only recently learned about this......"

"Who's that!"

"It's the Prime Minister, Qin is ......"

Xia Jingyan let go of his hand, and Rong Su gasped and fell to the ground.

"Qin Suan, I've heard of this person's name." Xia Jingyan clenched his fists, full of hatred, eager to immediately cut Qin Shu with a thousand knives.

"Niangniang must be calm, Prime Minister Qin Cheng is powerful and powerful, His Majesty can't control him for a while, he tortured General Zhao privately, and His Majesty couldn't give him a punishment......" Rong Xu said while coughing, for fear that Xia Jingyan would make a big mistake if he was excited.

Xia Jingyan also knew that she had already known about Qin Shu's person, and this matter had to be discussed in the long run, Xia Jingyan endured her anger, turned around, and gently wiped the blood on Zhao Jichen's face with a handkerchief in distress.

"Your Majesty knows, why don't you go to the imperial doctor to see it?" Xia Jingyan stroked Zhao Jichen's hair, hating himself for hurting him.

"If you go back to Niangniang, Your Majesty has looked for it, but General Zhao does not allow anyone to approach him, and the old slave is really helpless...... General Zhao still hasn't eaten or drunk, and he is very weak now, so he immediately invited Niangniang to come over, and asked Niangniang to decide......"

"Call someone immediately, take Brother Hechen to the palace of the main palace, and the palace will take care of it itself." Xia Jingyan took off his cloak and draped it on Zhao Jichen's body.

"...... General Zhao is a foreign man, he doesn't conform to the rules, and he doesn't ...... reason."

"This palace has its own measure, you don't need to take care of it! If Your Majesty is to blame, you can come to this palace, it is nothing more than a white silk to give death! Xia Jingyan didn't listen to the advice, so he had to call someone in.

"Yan'er ......" A faint shout interrupted Xia Jingyan's actions.

Xia Jingyan slowly turned his head, and Zhao Jichen's voice ......

"Words ......"

"Brother Hechen! Brother ...... Chen, "Xia Jingyan saw Zhao Jichen crying, and hurriedly wiped Zhao Jichen's tears.

"Yan'er ......" but Zhao Jichen didn't seem to realize what Xia Jingyan was talking to him at all, he would only repeat these two words mechanically, "Yan'er ......"

"I'll take you away...... Yan'er will take you away......" Xia Jingyan cried, and with that weak strength, he wanted to help the tall Zhao Jichen, but of course the end was to fall to the ground with Zhao Jichen.

"Words ......"

"I'm sorry...... Brother ...... I'm sorry for making you suffer...... Words are dragging you down......"

The lover is not separated from relatives, and there are seven hardships in a short life.
