Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 2 The calamity begins within Xiao Qiang

Su Kingdom · Palace Garden
On the winding corridor, two rows of plain octagonal palace lanterns swayed all the way, interlaced with light and dark, shattering the light and shadow, passing through the plum trees with sparse branches and leaves, a group of people walked quickly with the lanterns.

The leader is a girl with a demure figure and a plain skirt. I saw that she didn't wear any makeup. Even though her makeup was plain, she still couldn't hide her delicate and picturesque eyebrows. It's just that the girl's eyes were full of anxiety. color.

This person is none other than Su Zijin, the Princess of Su.

At this moment, Su Zijin's beautiful eyebrows were tightly frowned, and there were still some tears on the girl's beautiful face.

Three days ago, the monarch of the Su Kingdom collapsed suddenly in the Zhongyuan Palace. As the princess of the Su Kingdom, Su Zijin was still immersed in the pain of losing her father. Who would have thought that her younger brother, the Crown Prince of the Su Kingdom, Su Zhao was crying In the spirit, mourning and falling ill.

"If something happens to my younger brother, where will Su Guo go?"

Between Su Zijin's eyebrows and eyes was full of melancholy, and the lotus feet under the white fringed skirt fluttered like butterflies, and her pace couldn't help but quicken.

However, at this moment, the light and shadow paused slightly, and under the octagonal palace lanterns, another group of palace ladies appeared. The leader was a woman in palace costume, who was only 27 or [-] years old, with high hair on her temples, combed into a woman's hair. A topknot, with golden pearls and emeralds on the top of the head, under the light of the lights, it is unspeakably gorgeous.

It's just that the atmosphere of being so well-dressed and the state of Su's king, and the mourning of all the people is extremely incompatible.

"Zijin, what is the proper way to hurry around in the middle of the night during the imperial confinement?" A woman in palace attire has been pampered and pampered for many years. She has a kind of grace and a charming face, but her lips are slightly thinner and her cheekbones are slightly higher, which seems somewhat mean.

"Zi Jin has seen Madam."

Su Zijin paused for a moment, saluted solemnly, raised her eyes to look at the well-dressed woman in front of her, a trace of displeasure flashed in her clear and bright eyes, "I heard that brother has woken up, the first emperor's funeral and domestic affairs The big government urgently needs to be dealt with by my younger brother, so I ask my wife to get out of the way."

In this world, filial piety is the most important thing. Since the millennium of Ji Zhou, there is a spring official Zongbo who governs the country with rituals and music. If you don't obey the emperor's order, you will be punished with swords and soldiers. It is the so-called etiquette that goes away and punishment that takes!
Therefore, even if the woman in front of her is not her biological mother, and even she never likes her flirtatious behavior, but in terms of etiquette, Su Zijin must respect her attitude and behave politely, otherwise it will be time-consuming. The meeting ridiculed.

However, the same etiquette also regulates the inheritance of Su State. Even in Tianyuan Shenzhou today, Ji Zhou Di star is dim, and the etiquette gradually collapses, but it is still not tolerated by all countries.

"En." The woman in palace attire responded lightly, noncommittal, and said: "I have already been diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician, the princess does not need to worry. As for the domestic military affairs, Grand Sima Yuan Bin is the leader of the first monarch. I often rely on it, but now His Royal Highness needs to rest and recuperate, and the state affairs are handled by Da Sima, there is nothing wrong with that."

"The country cannot be without a master for a day. My younger brother has awakened. He should go to the Zhongyuan Palace and inherit the ambition of the ancestor. This is the law of heaven. How can there be a reason for foreign ministers to govern for a long time?" Su Zijin's voice was melodious and melodious. When mentioning state affairs at this moment, the sound is like flying springs and flowing jade, and there is a bit of impassioned meaning like gold and stone piercing through the sky.

Mrs. Su's expression was slightly cold, and she said: "The first monarch passed away, and this palace is Mrs. Su's, and I will deal with all the affairs of the six palaces. Your Highness just woke up from illness, and it is time for you to recuperate. As a sister, you should know Generally speaking, when it comes to national affairs, how can you allow a child with a yellow mouth to talk about it?"

"You..." Su Zijin's lips moved, trying to defend herself.

Madam Su Guo didn't wait for Su Zijin to open her mouth, she yelled softly, "Where are the guards?"

"exist."

Following steady voices, there was the sound of armor leaves colliding, and a group of black armored soldiers came with halberds. They were all chosen by the soldiers of the Su army, with solemn and cold expressions.

Mrs. Su waved her sleeves, without looking at Su Zijin, she said, "Quickly invite the princess to Xuanle Palace."

"promise."

Following the sergeant's promise, the drizzle in the courtyard gradually became denser, tick-tock, and the sound of rain hitting plantains sounded one after another.

"I see who dares to be rude?" Su Zijin said coldly.

Mrs. Su suddenly turned her face away, and said: "Why, the first monarch has just become a great success, so you bully me, a helpless surviving person?"

Su Zijin didn't know how to answer.

"Why so noisy?"

At this moment, with an indifferent voice, a handsome young man in plain clothes, Shi Shiran, came out of the Ganlu Hall.

Under the octagonal palace lantern, the young man was dressed in plain clothes, with a long sword with a black edge on his waist, his eyes were clear, because his back was facing the lights, his cold and sharp face was dark and unclear.

"I've seen His Highness." When he saw the person coming, the Wu Jiashi, led by a young captain, bowed his hands and saluted.

Su Zhao held the sword at his waist, and walked to the corridor without avoiding the drizzle, and glanced at the young captain, "Qu Kai? I recognize you. When Zheng Guo attacked Su and Baiyang fought, your father Qu Lang I invited myself to be a dead soldier, and led three hundred soldiers to attack Zheng Jun's camp at night. I was shot by more than thirty arrows, and I was praised as the pillar of the country by the first emperor. Su Yi?"

Speaking of this, the palm of his hand was clasped on the scabbard, and his sharp eyes looked at Qu Kai up and down.

Qu Kai's heart was shocked for a moment, he felt his scalp go numb, cold sweat dripped from his temple hair, suddenly cupped his fists, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said: "I don't dare to be humble."

"Back off." Su Zhao took a deep look at Qu Kai and said coldly.

In the previous life when Yuan Bin made rebellion, three thousand imperial guards sat and watched indifferently, only this Qu Kai was one of the few guards who stood by his side.

Speaking of which, Yuan Bin's methods were really vicious, he even slandered him for being licentious and immoral, and insulted his widowed mother. At the time of chaos, except for one or two honest ministers who spoke uprightly, Su Guogong and his ministers mostly waited and watched.

Later, even if he escaped from the Soviet Union and went to other countries to recruit soldiers for revenge, he still received all kinds of supercilious looks.

Thinking of Yuan Bin's vicious methods, Su Zhao's heart surged with killing intent.

"Brother." Seeing Su Zhao come out, Su Zijin whispered.

The murderous intent in Su Zhao's heart gradually calmed down in this gentle voice like clear water. Looking up, all the experiences in the past and present life were like a dream for a while.

Under the octagonal palace lantern, the lights are bright, and the young girl of twenty-eight years old has bright eyes and bright teeth, and she is graceful.

This is his sister in this life, Su Zijin.

Su Zijin is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Yuan Bin first proposed marriage to his son as a ploy to test his attitude, but later he refused. As a result, Yuan Bin used poisonous tricks to plot against him. Hairpin committed suicide and died in his arms.

Su Zhao took a deep breath, suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, nodded slightly at Su Zijin, and turned to look at Mrs. Su Guo.

Resisting the urge to draw the sword and stab the woman in front of him to death, his eyes were already frost-cold.
