gave Xiao Er, who was in charge of welcoming and sending off guests in the lobby of the inn, a copper plate, and asked Yu Zizhen where they were going from him, and the family chased them in a carriage.

However, how fast Yu Zizhen walked, the family couldn't catch up with her at all.

In order to inquire about her, they could only keep chasing the direction of Yu Zizhen's progress, and kept asking people where Yu Zizhen was going.

Yu Zizhen didn't know anything about their movements, and after she entered her sphere of influence, she immediately had people take her to the current location of the emperor and the eldest prince.

As Yu Zizhen expected, neither the emperor nor the eldest prince were dissatisfied with her because Yu Zizhen had ideas about that position.

On the contrary, the king of Zhenbei, who announced Yu Zizhen's death as soon as he came up, was not less despised by the father and son's outspoken expressions of contempt.

"Uncle Xiao, Yuan Jin." The wind and dust rushed to Zhuangzi, where the two of them settled, and Yu Zizhen came to greet His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible.

"Excuse me." The emperor was overjoyed, he poured a cup of tea for Yu Zizhen with his own hands, "Sit down, sit down, let's talk slowly." ”

Xiao Yuanjin also showed a rare smile, he stood up and moved the two plates of dim sum that he had just sent from his subordinates not long ago to Yu Zizhen, who had lost a lot of weight.

Although Yu Zizhen's subordinates, who were in charge of protecting them, clearly told them that Yu Zizhen had nothing to do, but just secretly went to the Western Xinjiang side to save the Duke of Weiguo, but before seeing Yu Zizhen who was safe and sound, the emperor and Xiao Yuanjin would still inevitably be worried about her.

Yu Zizhen thanked the two of them, and started to eat snacks with tea without being polite.

The emperor also saw that she had lost a lot of weight, so even though he had a lot of questions in his heart, he still held back and didn't ask them right away.

It wasn't until Yu Zizhen was half-full and didn't reach out for the remaining pastries on the plate that the emperor asked while adding tea to her: "I heard that you went to the Weiguo Mansion in Western Xinjiang?" ”

They live here, and they are basically surrounded by people left by Yu Zizhen, and if the news can reach their ears, it means that this is Yu Zizhen's instructions, so he can naturally find out a thing or two here from Yu Zizhen.

Yu Zizhen really didn't hide it from him, she bowed slightly to the emperor and the eldest prince, "I heard Huaiying talk about Weiguogong's illness, and I felt that I should be able to cure him, so I took advantage of the fact that the world was not completely chaotic, and followed Huaiying to the Weiguo Mansion." ”

"He is indispensable to the Western Xinjiang Army, and without him, the Western Xinjiang Army will immediately be torn apart and become vulnerable."

"No matter who sits in that position in the future, I don't plan to give any opportunity to foreign tribes on the border."

After a pause, she added: "And Wei Guogong is not an ambitious person, even if I cure him, he will not get involved in the battle for the throne." ”

The Lu clan was unwilling to give the Western Xinjiang Army enough military supplies, and she was willing.

Just like the King of Zhenbei and the Duke of Jingguo, even if they have the ambition to compete for that position, they will not give up their original responsibility of defending the border and the territory, so that foreigners have an opportunity.

This is their unspeakable tacit understanding, and it is also their common bottom line, for this tacit understanding and this bottom line, Yu Zizhen is willing to give certain preferential treatment to the king of Zhenbei and the prince of Yasukuni when everyone fights in the future, under the condition that the situation is controllable.

"By the way, Uncle Xiao, on the day we left the palace, I secretly brought out the jade seal." Yu Zizhen put down the teacup and burst out with a big thunderbolt.

The Emperor's eyes widened, first shocked, then happy, he laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes, and he did not try to contain his emotions as before.

Yu Zizhen's eyebrows raised slightly, the emperor's reaction was something she didn't expect.

Xiao Yuanjin looked helpless, "My father is glad that you indirectly spoke out for him." ”

To say that his father is really pitiful, the first emperor's dedicated and abusive guy doesn't care about his life, and the queen mother Da Lu, who is the wife of the first emperor, is kind and dark-hearted, and he doesn't like the children born to the first emperor and other women, and his father's biological mother is just a beauty from an ordinary family with a very low status.

His father was able to live to adulthood in that cannibalistic court, and his own efforts and God's care accounted for a large proportion.

Finally, he got the light of his favored brother, went out of the palace to open a mansion, married a wife and had children, and lived his own small life, but the old pious woman of the Da Lu family started the idea of their family again.

His beloved wife died tragically, and as a puppet emperor, he was forced to shoehorn his new wife, Xiao Lu.

The young son was poisoned and has been bad for his actions since then, but those black-hearted guys still haven't stopped all kinds of assassinations against his son.

If Xiao Yuanjin was standing in his father's place, he would not have any sense of identity with the bastard who single-handedly caused all the misfortunes of their family.

What ancestral inheritance, what father's expectations, what does that have to do with him and his father?

The first emperor never had any expectations for his father, so what kind of ancestral inheritance, the first emperor did not give it to his father, what people really wanted to give was the Da Lu family, which was his "love of life".

If it weren't for the fact that he left all kinds of followers and gave the Da Lu family and Lu Tong great rights, their father and son would not have had such a difficult life, and the so-called ancestral inheritance of the Xiao family would not have been directly scattered in a few years, and it would have become a thing of the past completely.

In Xiao Yuanjin's opinion, the pot of this dead country should not be carried by his father.

As for sadness and anger, Xiao Yuanjin felt that in order to "lose" a sad and angry person, first of all, he had to have obtained something that could make him sad and angry because of the loss.

His father, who has never really held power, who has always suffered from power, and who has never tasted what life and death is to seize the ultimate power, is afraid that he will only feel more relaxed in order to get rid of the shackles, right?

He asked Yu Zizhen, "Where did you arrange my second brother and uncle?" ”

Yu Zizhen scratched his head, "The second prince has also been protected by someone I have sent, if you want to see him, I can have someone send him over to your side." As for Xiao Shaoke, I just let people send him away, and I didn't let people follow him all the time. ”

Xiao Yuanjin had already heard his father say about Xiao Shaoke's behavior, so it was not surprising that Yu Zizhen was treating him differently.

He said to Yu Zizhen: "Then please let people send my second brother here, my father and I will take a good look at him and prevent him from causing trouble for you." ”

The emperor also nodded in agreement, "That's right, we will take a good look at him and not let him be used." And Xiao Shaoke, if you can find him, I can also help you watch him together. ”

The corners of Yu Zizhen's lips rose, "Second prince, I will have someone send him here as soon as possible, Xiao Shaoke's words, I don't know if my people can find him." ”
