Empress Chu

If you let a multi-minded person listen to this, you may think that the other party can reverse black and white, so that you can turn black into white, and you can also turn white into black. It may be difficult to answer, but Xie Yanfang laughed She smiled and nodded very simply: "I must do so."

Xie Yanfang is not a multi-hearted person, he is a really smart person, such a person, a heart is enough.

Chu Zhao didn't say any more, and said seriously: "The incident happened suddenly, and he was in a hurry after the incident. He never told the third son in detail that I asked His Majesty for me to be a queen."

Xie Yanfang also nodded earnestly: "I know, this must be Ms. Azhao's own wish. Ms. Azhao will not be forced to do things that are difficult for her."

Chu Zhao couldn't help laughing: "I clearly said that I coerced the late emperor, so why is the third son still praising me?"

Xie Yanfang shook her head: "How could you coerce the late emperor? It was the late emperor who was coerced first, and we are all under coercion."

Talking to a smart person is easy, and you don’t need to explain at all. Chu Zhao continued: “The late emperor and my father built an army privately, called the Longwei Army. This is an army that only obeys my father. In Border County, there is also a secret in the capital, this matter is very confidential, and because of the differences between my father and His Majesty 20 years ago, soldiers and horses have not been used again, so fewer people know about it."

Xie Yanfang originally guessed about the same thing, but now she is more clear.

"I see." He said.

No wonder Qi Gonggui would bring the young prince to the Chu family, and go further, no wonder Xiao Xun had such an attitude towards Chu Zhao, and tried every means to get involved.

"The King of Zhongshan and his son probably guessed that my father was unusual in front of His Majesty, but they didn't know about the Longwei Army." Chu Zhao said, caressing his heart, and laughed at himself, "If they knew, Ayu and I would not be alive gone."

Xie Yanfang was silent for a moment: "I don't know whether to say it is thanks to His Majesty, or whether I should say that I am lucky to have General Chu."

This time Xiao Yu was able to break through the situation. In retrospect, it was extremely dangerous, because of the planning of His Majesty and General Chu back then, and because of the later birth of His Majesty and General Chu, and because it happened that General Chu’s daughter, the deputy general, returned to Beijing ——In this series of events, each of them is indispensable. If there is a slight carelessness, even if anyone is missing that night, Xiao Yu probably will not exist.

Chu Zhao also thought about it. It should be said that she was lucky to have died once.

Of course this can't be said.

Xie Yanfang went on to say: "So, Miss Azhao, you should make a decisive decision and ask Your Majesty to bestow the title of Empress. This is the best way to keep Ayu firmly on the throne."

Chu Zhao nodded: "Only in this way can the Longwei army be controlled by the emperor. After all, there are not many credible and reliable soldiers and horses in this turmoil. King Zhongshan has already exposed his ambitions. He will have nothing to hide. His Majesty is dead. The crown prince is dead, and my father—will die too."

The girl lowered her eyes slightly and clenched her hands on her knees.

These few days she was tense and busy, and suddenly remembered that her father was about to die, how could she see him?

Can she still leave the capital?

At least not for now.

Who would have thought that she was not married to Xiao Xun, but she still became a queen, and she still couldn't leave the capital——

There is warmth touching her hand——

Chu Zhao came back to his senses and saw a warm teacup handed to him.

She looked up and saw Xie Yanfang's gentle and concerned eyes.

"Miss Ah Zhao." He said, "All kinds of dangers have come, and you can save Ah Yu's life. There is nothing you can't do, no matter how difficult it is, there is a way."

Holding the warm teacup, Chu Zhao nodded, "Yes." He raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp.

Small footsteps sounded outside the door, accompanied by a soft voice, "Sister——"

Chu Zhao turned his head and saw a small figure in a faded suit behind the fluttering white curtain at the door.

"Ayu." She hurriedly waved, "Come on."

Xiao Yu stepped in from behind the curtain, Xie Yanfang stood up and saluted: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Although the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, Xiao Yu is already the new emperor.

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and walked to Chu Zhao, who held his hand: "I will discuss the current situation with your uncle."

Xiao Yu hummed, then looked at Xie Yanfang, and said, "Third Uncle, excuse me."

Xie Yanfang sat up straight and looked at the child standing beside Chu Zhao. The six-year-old child had a very bad complexion after suffering successive accidents and mourning for the late emperor.

But what can be done about it, the matter has come to this point, he can only survive.

Xie Yanfang poured tea and handed it to him with both hands.

Xiao Yu shook his head: "Thank you Third Uncle, I just had tea."

Xie Yanfang put down the teacup without saying a word.

"Are you hungry?" Chu Zhao took his hand and asked, "Sit down for a while if you're tired. You don't need to kneel so straight. Grandfather won't blame you."

Xiao Yu nodded, shook his head again, and whispered: "Eunuch Qi gave me some snacks, and Eunuch Qi also drew the curtains, and let me lie down by the imperial grandfather's side for a while."

After waking up, he found that Chu Zhao was gone, so he came to find him.

With Eunuch Qi taking care of him, you can rest assured. Chu Zhao pulled Xiao Yu to sit beside him, and said, "Now you can send the emperor's grandfather, father and mother with peace of mind."

The funeral of the prince and concubine is done together with the emperor's.

She looked at Xie Yanfang.

"Everything else is up to your uncle, so you don't have to worry about anything."

Xiao Yu nodded to Xie Yanfang again, but did not speak.

Xie Yanfang lowered her eyes: "Ayu, uncle is incompetent and failed to protect your parents."

Xiao Yu still didn't speak, but leaned on Chu Zhao, as if trying to avoid something.

Chu Zhao noticed his movements, and quickly stroked Xiao Yu's shoulder to comfort him. It is a terrible and cruel thing for a child to face the tragic death of his parents.

But the truth cannot be escaped.

"That night, the prince of Zhongshan came to my house in person, threatened and lured my uncle, and killed Ayu." She continued the topic, "He didn't leave any evidence, and there was no personal or material evidence. Now because of my identity, I can't let uncle Plead guilty and testify, the hidden danger of Zhongshan Wang and his son is difficult to get rid of for the time being."

Xie Yanfang said: "I will do my best. Don't worry, King Zhongshan and his son will never threaten Ah Yu again."

Chu Zhao nodded solemnly to him: "I believe in the third son."

She really believed that in that life, Xie Yanfang forced Xiao Xun to be helpless, and he was still a traitor. In this life, if it is reversed, Xiao Xun's life will not be easier.

Hearing Chu Zhao's words, Xiao Yu raised his head to look at Xie Yanfang, and said, "Three Uncles have worked hard."

This was the first time the child had looked at him since they met. Xie Yanfang moved in front of him, knelt down and reached out to gently caress his face.

Xiao Yu leaned towards Chu Zhao, but he didn't avoid Xie Yanfang's hand, nor did he avoid his eyes, looking at the face in front of him——

This face resembles her mother's, but is much more beautiful than her mother's. Xie Yanfang's skin is as fair as porcelain, her eyes are slender, her nose bridge is straight, her eyes are gentle and clear——

"It's not hard." He said softly, "Xie Yanfang just hopes that there will be no more heart-pounding regrets."

Chapter 13 Confession

When night falls, the imperial city is completely white, shrouded in snow.

Eunuch Qi came in and put a thin quilt on Xiao Yu who was leaning on her to sleep.

"His Royal Highness is busy." Eunuch Qi whispered, "I am here."

Chu Zhao didn't refuse, and gently stroked Xiao Yu's head, letting him lie in Eunuch Qi's arms, then got up and walked out.

There are many officials and wives kneeling outside, and they don't need to cry at night, but such a vigil is also very tiring, physically and mentally tired.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the officials and wives all raised their heads and saw the girl walking out.

These days, they are no strangers to this girl. Although there is no canonization, the daughter of the Chu family appears wherever the emperor's eldest grandson is.

She is also very busy.

Deng Yi saw her, Eunuch Qi saw her, Xie Yanfang saw her——

In contrast, the eldest grandson of the emperor just knelt in front of the emperor's coffin and had nothing to do. A six-year-old child had nothing to do, so such a queen must act on behalf of the eldest grandson of the emperor. In the future——

The girl must have sensed the sight of her surroundings, but she didn't look sideways, and walked out slowly. Behind her was a girl dressed as a court lady who didn't look like her at all.

She was about the same age as Chu Zhao, and compared to Chu Zhao's straight eyes, whoever looked at this girl would immediately look back, her pair of apricot eyes gleaming fiercely.

While the other maids lowered their hands and bowed their heads, she raised her chin and pressed her hands on her waist, as if she was about to draw her sword at any time——

Although I didn't believe that the girl really dared to commit murder, but one more thing is worse than one less thing, and the officials ordered the wives to look away one after another.

Chu Zhao walked outside the main hall. The summer night breeze was not very refreshing, but it could make people breathe out lightly.

"Where's Uncle Zhong?" Chu Zhao asked Xiao Man in a low voice.

Xiaoman raised her chin and looked at the sky: "How do I know, I've been following you all the time."

With the Longwei Army that night, Uncle Zhong assigned other tasks to Xiaoman and the group and stayed in Chu Garden, but Xiaoman disagreed and he stayed too.

"—General." The girl gritted her teeth and squeezed out two words, "Let me take care of her."

Uncle Zhong glared at the girl, probably feeling that the general's order must not be violated, and finally agreed.

Xiaoman has been with her, never leaving day and night, but her attitude is not very good, and she rarely speaks.

But having seen how powerful this girl is, and it can be said that this girl is the savior of them and Xiao Yu, Chu Zhao and A Le don't think it's strange, and they won't really treat the girl as a guard.

Ale tried every means to please her and make her happy.

Although Xiaoman looks hard to please, she is actually very easy to get along with, and doesn't talk much, but occasionally stares at Chu Zhao, looks at him, and thinks deeply——

Chu Zhao smiled at Xiaoman's answer, stopped asking her again, called a guard to give some instructions, and the guard hurried away, Chu Zhao turned his head to see Xiaoman was quietly looking at her again, his eyes collided, Xiaoman Man turned his head to look at the sky.

"Xiaoman, do you dislike my father?" Chu Zhao asked with a smile.

She asked simply, Xiaoman turned her head and looked at Chu Zhao: "Yes."

Chu Zhao was not angry, looked at her softer, and asked, "Are your parents still there?"

Xiaoman's eyes suddenly became fierce, and she squeezed out three words between her teeth: "It's gone."

Sure enough, Chu Zhao said softly, "So you are all the family members of the soldiers who died."

If you say that, it's understandable that they don't like their father and have a bad attitude towards Uncle Zhong.

"After all, it's my father who made you lose your loved ones."

As a general, let the soldiers go to fight, and the fight will always kill people. The soldiers are also human and have family members.

Chu Zhao knew that in Luocheng, there were places where the families of deceased soldiers gathered. The father allocated military expenses to take care of the elderly parents and young children, and also helped them find a livelihood.

But if you take care of them, you will lose your loved ones, especially the children, and you will feel resentment in your heart.

Hearing what Chu Zhao said, Xiaoman's eyes were a little strange, she smiled suddenly, and her eyes returned to gloomy.

"That's right," she said, "it was your father who bereaved us."

When Chu Zhao wanted to say something, Zhong Changrong came striding over, and when he saw the two talking, he immediately stared at Xiaoman warily.

"Don't talk nonsense." He warned as soon as he opened his mouth.

Xiaoman snorted, turned her head and looked at the sky.

Chu Zhao quickly comforted Zhong Changrong: "I didn't say anything, Miss Xiaoman doesn't like to talk, I'm asking her if she's used to being in the palace."

Zhong Changrong glared at Xiaoman carefully, and said: "If you are not used to it, you can get used to it in the military camp, and you can naturally get used to it in the court."

It's strange to say this. It seems that when they were in Bianjun, people like Xiaoman didn't hide their dissatisfaction with their father. Of course, dissatisfaction belongs to dissatisfaction. Follow her.

Chu Zhao held onto Zhong Changrong and stopped dwelling on this topic.

"Uncle Zhong, did you send a message to my father?" she asked.

After that night, everyone was very busy. Deng Yi and Xie Yanfang were busy checking the court, while Uncle Zhong was in charge of the safety of the entire capital.

After Xie Yanfang came back, the gates of the city were opened, and the capital camp had to be cleaned up. Even with the Longwei Army, Zhong Changrong was too busy. Fortunately, Xie Yan was here to guard the imperial city, otherwise he would have no other skills—but why did he say that How about Xie Yan?

This kid is also unreliable!

Zhong Changrong put back his wild thoughts and took a deep breath. Of course, no matter how busy he was, for such an important matter, he sent the news to the general immediately.

"I told the general that this resignation letter will definitely not be resigned." He whispered.

For the sake of Miss, the general cannot resign.

Although he doesn't understand these court affairs, even if it is a civil marriage, the natal family is very important. Now that the emperor and prince are dead, there is only such a six-year-old doll left. If the young lady is married, it is really a single force Thin--

and many more.

Miss, married a six-year-old doll.

Zhong Changrong was stunned again, his mind went blank, he only thought about the queen before, the young lady became the queen, and only thought about the identity of the queen, he seemed to have forgotten that being a queen means marrying the emperor, and now the emperor is only six years old.

This, this, this—

Is this good or bad?

What would the general think?Is the general in a hurry?Will the general disagree?
