Chapter 327: Madness (1)

After Xu Jing left the palace, he went to the Yingchuan Palace.

The prince of Yingchuan recuperated in closed doors for several months, and very few people visited the hospital.

The princess of Yingchuan died in childbirth in the palace, and the hidden situation is really worth pondering. It is human nature to hold high and step on low, and the ministers must keep their distance from the Yingchuan Palace.

There are only a few princes of the feudal lords, who have free time to visit occasionally. As soon as Xu Jing came today, the porter immediately opened the main door, and was very attentive: "Shizi, please wait for a while, and the slave will go to pass it on."

Xu Jing nodded slightly, waited for a stick of incense or so, and saw a figure appear in front of him.

Xu Jing's eyes swept and he was secretly surprised in his heart.

In just over three months, the prince of Yingchuan has lost a lot of weight, and he is also much haggard and old, and he has some gray hair on his head.

Who would have thought that the prince of Yingchuan, who had personally sent his daughter-in-law to the dragon couch, would have true feelings for the Chen family. I don't know how to do that kind of pickling!

It can only be said that a man's heart is like a needle under the sea, unfathomable.

"Cousin," Xu Jing stepped forward quickly, with a sincere look of concern, "I haven't seen you for many days, but your body is better?"

Yingchuan Wang Shizi squeezed out a smile that was not much better than crying: "I survived, I can't die."

After a pause, he asked in a low voice, "You entered the palace today and saw Sister An?"

Xu Jing snorted: "Sister An was raised to be white and fat, and the queen mother treats her very well, so cousin can rest assured!"

The prince of Yingchuan pulled the corners of his mouth: "The queen is famous and well-known, and Sister An is raised in the Jiaofang Palace, which is the blessing of Sister An."

Under the understatement tone, there is a monstrous hatred.

Chen's death is inseparable from Queen Su. Sooner or later, he will have to avenge the Chen family.

Such hatred naturally can't be revealed in front of Xu Jing. Xu Jing has always been in the same camp as the crown prince, and he is also very close to Queen Su.

The prince of Yingchuan cheered up and said, "It's rare for you to come here, stay for dinner tonight."

Xu Jing said: "Seeing that my cousin is safe and sound, I am also relieved. You don't have to eat. In a few days, the army will set off, and it will take several months to return to Beijing. I'll take advantage of the free time these days to go back home more often to accompany my sister in the crescent moon."

The prince of Yingchuan was not reluctant, and went to the study with Xu Jing to gossip. Xu Jing stayed for half an hour before leaving.

The prince of Yingchuan personally sent Xu Jing out of the palace, and it was not until Xu Jing's figure disappeared that the smile on the face of the prince of Yingchuan disappeared.

The prince of Yingchuan turned around and walked slowly to a room.

In this room, there is the spiritual seat of the Chen family.

He has been here for most of the past few months.

He stepped forward, picked up a clean cotton cloth, and patiently wiped the spiritual seat.

Before Chen died, he actually woke up once. At that time, he stood by the bedside, looked at Chen's pale face, and listened to Chen's faint and inaudible last words: "In the next life, we will not be husband and wife."

Then, he closed his eyes and never woke up.

He suddenly laughed nervously, and took the black spirit card into his arms, which was the same as the posture of holding the Chen family in the past, and whispered: "It was the queen who hurt you, it was the prince who hurt you, the emperor is cold-blooded and ruthless, and he doesn't care about your life or death."

"I will avenge you. You're alone under the Yellow Springs, it's too lonely. I'm going to have them all go underground with you."

The laughter was very cold and permeating.

Several henchmen and soldiers guarding outside the mourning hall shivered when they heard the indistinguishable sound of crying and laughing coming from the crack in the door.

Since Chen's death, the prince of Yingchuan has gone mad.

I don't know what crazy things the crazy master will do in the future.

Six days later, Xu Jing led the army to leave Beijing.

The Great Jin Dynasty bandits broke out everywhere, and the war continued. In recent years, it is not uncommon for large armies to be dispatched. However, this time is clearly very different from previous battles.

The chief general who commands the army is not the old and heavy Dingguo Gong, not the Murong father and son who are deeply trusted by the Son of Heaven, and not the eater

The loyal and brave marquis who was seriously injured in the defeat was Xu Jing, the seventeen-year-old son of the king of Beihai.

A vassal prince led an army to fight, which has not been seen in the Great Jin Dynasty for a hundred years. Xu Jing can be regarded as a precedent.

What this means, the civil and military officials are very clear in their hearts.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is in weak health, unswervingly chose to support Xu Jing as the next prince. Xu Jing is indeed angry, from setting up a porridge shed at the beginning of the year to help the people, to training recruits every day, and then to this resolute expedition, one by one shows the demeanor that the future prince should have.

People's hearts are slowly moving closer to Xu Jing.

As long as Xu Jing wins this battle clean and beautiful, and makes military achievements, no one can compete with Xu Jing.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led the hundred officials and sent the army out of the city gate.

In front of all the ministers, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to Xu Jing, "Cousin Jing, I hope you will pacify the bandits and Qinghe County as soon as possible. On the day you return to Beijing with a great victory, I will personally welcome you back to Beijing and set up a celebration banquet for you."

Xu Jing, who was wearing full armor, had a cold and solemn majesty that he didn't usually have, and he replied on the horse: "The minister will not let His Highness down."

Under the eyes of the prince, Xu Jing rode forward.

A large flag flutters in the wind.

A year ago, Xu Jing was flying the banner of the East Palace. This time, on the big flag with a red background that sounded fiercely in the wind, a majestic tiger was embroidered.

This is the banner of the Tiger Battalion of the New Army, and it is also the banner of Xu Jing, the prince of Beihai.

The prince stood silently in place, watching the army march away.

Several old ministers accompanied the prince and said in a low voice, "The army has already set out, and His Highness should return to the palace!"

The onset of the Laba Festival really scared all the ministers. In their eyes, the prince's body is almost like mud and paper, and they can't help but toss a little.

The prince smiled and replied, glanced at the dusty distance again, and then turned to get into the carriage and go back to the palace.

Two days later, the prince of Yingchuan entered the palace to see the Son of Heaven.

Emperor Yongming took four pills today, and his interest was strong, so naturally he would not see the prince of Yingchuan.

The prince of Yingchuan went to the outside of the Jiaofang Palace to ask to see Queen Su again.

After waiting for half an hour, the prince of Yingchuan entered the main hall. Queen Su sat on the phoenix chair, her well-maintained face was still beautiful, and her temperament was dignified and gentle.

The prince of Yingchuan stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed three times: "My nephew has seen the queen mother."

This is a family ceremony.

Empress Su's eyes flashed slightly, and she said softly, "Get up!"

When the prince of Yingchuan got up, Queen Su looked up and down, and sighed lightly: "The Chen family died in childbirth, and the heart of this palace is also very sad. It's just that people can't be resurrected after death, and those who are alive must live well."

"You've been seriously ill, and now that you're well, you should cheer up."

The prince of Yingchuan said yes in a low voice, and then opened his mouth to plead: "Niangniang, I want to see Sister An."
