The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

This is the first time since New Year's Eve that the palace is so lively.

In the Zhengyang Palace, the maids and eunuchs were busy going back and forth.

But in the imperial study room, it was a different scene.

The emperor flipped through the book in his hand, but did not write down any comments for a long time.

Eunuch Yao thought that the emperor was tired, so he handed over the arrangements for the celebration banquet to the emperor: "Your Majesty, today's banquet to celebrate the success of the third prince will be held in Youzheng. This is an arrangement drawn up by the empress. Please take a look."

The emperor took it, looked at it for a few moments, and then threw it aside without interest: "I know."

It is rare for an emperor to treat the queen's arrangements like this. Eunuch Yao hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, do you think there is something wrong with the arrangement?"

"There is nothing wrong with the Queen's arrangement. You go down and prepare the chariot. I am very tired today. I will take the luan chariot to Zhengyang Palace later."

"Yes!" Seeing that the emperor was not very interested, Eunuch Yao answered and quietly left the palace.

The door to the royal study closed slowly, and the emperor raised his hand and rubbed his deeply frowned eyebrows.

He almost didn't sleep all night last night, and he was so sleepy and tired today that it was hard to speak.

Nothing about recent events... actually made him happy.

Yesterday afternoon, he had just received a message from Southern Xinjiang. News from Southern Xinjiang, which he had been missing for more than a month, finally came. Just when he was looking forward to it, the news shocked him into a cold sweat.

Before he could send someone to conduct a thorough investigation, news came from outside the palace that Chu He, the captain of the Imperial Guard, had returned alone.

He was able to return to Beijing with Fei Ge, which shows that this person traveled day and night without stopping.

So he quickly summoned him to come in for an audience. What he didn't expect was that there were bloody and rotten human heads coming with Chu He.

That head came from the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, Qiu Ran.

Even thinking about that scene today still made him feel very sick.

But at that time, he did not punish Chu He for the crime of disrespect. After all, Fei Gechuan's book, which came before Chu He, had already stated this clearly.

For a group of people in southern Xinjiang, Qiu Ran had a special mission - to secretly get rid of Vai, the legitimate daughter of the Wa clan leader, for him, but what happened...

This idiot never found the opportunity to take action, and in the end he was stupid enough to be discovered by the Southern Xinjiang people!

And those imperial troops who also went to southern Xinjiang were also implicated. Fortunately, when everyone was besieged, Chu He made a decisive decision and killed Qiu Ran with one arrow in the name of eradicating the evil thieves under his orders. Saved his face.

At the same time, he also gave a job to the Wa family.

Otherwise, I don’t know what kind of uproar there will be…

This Chu He, although he had just joined the Forbidden Army not long ago, was actually quite good.

Knowing that this matter was of great importance, he took Qiu Ran's head back to Beijing before he could recover from his injuries.

Not only that, he also brought back a handwritten letter from the head of the Wa clan.

They believed Chu He's words and believed that the assassination of Wa Yi was an act of Qiu Ran coveting Wa Yi's beauty and venting his anger...

Qiu Ran, this idiot, failed to kill Vai twice, so he should die if he dies!

Yesterday, Chu He went to the palace to plead guilty. As the captain of the guard, he shot and killed the deputy commander of the imperial army in public, which was really a crime.

But for the emperor, he only allowed him to go back after a few verbal warnings.

He wanted to end the matter early, and he had no intention of letting anyone heal Chu He.

Otherwise, he would definitely find out that the injuries Chu He said were from when he was besieged by the Southern Xinjiang people. The Southern Xinjiang people were good at using spears, and all the wounds on his body were sword wounds.

……

After Chu He applied the medicine, he went directly back to the palace and entered the Forbidden Army barracks.

According to the establishment of the Forbidden Army, two guard captains lived in the same barracks, so when Chu He entered the door, the other guard captain who lived with him was wiping the long sword in his hand.

Qiu Ran took advantage of the situation, causing the people in southern Xinjiang to start killing the soldiers of the Forbidden Army. It took only half a day to spread the news.

So when the captain of the guard saw Chu He coming back, he stood up quickly: "I told you from above that Captain Chu will rest in the room tonight. After all, there won't be any trouble at the third prince's celebration banquet. We brothers are enough."

Chu He heard this and thanked him: "So... thank you for your hard work."

The captain of the guard smiled and sheathed his long sword: "What's wrong with this? It's nothing compared to you... I was implicated by the enemy and almost lost my life in southern Xinjiang. How about it? Those barbarians are pretty good at it, right? I heard they went to 36 Brothers, only five of them survived in the end?"

Chu He nodded sadly and said nothing.

The captain of the guard didn't say much when he saw this.

After all, watching the brothers fall one by one in front of you, the scene must be extremely tragic...

After the guard captain left, the door of the barracks was closed, and Chu He raised his head again.

Barbarians?

If they knew that all 31 Forbidden Army soldiers died at his hands, what would they do?

Before leaving, he overheard the emperor's order when he summoned Qiu Ran alone: ​​Assassinate Vai!

Although he didn't know why the emperor of a country would take action against a 15-year-old girl, judging from the sudden disappearance of Vai in his previous life, the emperor's move must have a deep meaning.

There must be some kind of secret in Vai's body.

In order to protect this girl, on the way back to southern Xinjiang, he always kept an eye on Qiu Ran's every move.

Fortunately, Mu Ai was with us all the way.

Along the way, Qiu Ran didn't find a suitable opportunity to take action.

But the Holy Order cannot be fulfilled. After the Walivai brothers and sisters safely entered southern Xinjiang, Qiu Ran became anxious.

Various irregularities during this period also attracted Vali's attention.

Without any hesitation, Chu He revealed the matter and bluntly said that if he wanted to keep Wai, the people of Southern Xinjiang needed to join forces with him to eradicate the forbidden army of Qiu Ran's lineage.

Xu Shi has gained enough trust from Vali with his actions along the way.

So the three of them made a surprise attack on Qiu Ran's team at night.

In that battle, although he shot Qiu Ran with his own hands, he was seriously injured.

He thought that after joining forces this time, he would be able to obtain the secrets of Vai from the Va clan.

But he never thought that although the Va family was willing to work with him to hide the emperor, and used Gu insects to control the remaining four Forbidden soldiers so that they could be used by him, they were still unwilling to reveal the secret of the emperor's pursuit of Vai.

But this move confirmed that Vai's identity was anything but ordinary.

While he was deep in thought, the faint sound of silk and bamboo could be heard outside the door.

The celebration party has already begun.

Chu He stood up and messed up the quilt.

And he himself took advantage of the dim sunset and headed towards the most lively Zhengyang Palace.

He had to guard this night banquet personally in order to feel at ease.

……

Stepping into the Zhengyang Palace again and seeing the bustling crowds of powerful and powerful clansmen, Xu Rongrong felt like she was suddenly in another world.

I especially remember that during the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet last year, the hall was very lively.

Even though she was sitting in the corner, she could still feel the peace in the hall.The crown prince and the second prince were lined up on the left and right, sitting together under the emperor. From time to time, they would even chat with each other, and their half-true and half-false friendship did not seem out of place in this peaceful and festive atmosphere.

But at the New Year's Eve family banquet, the second prince was banned and his seat was removed. The prince, who was favored by the empress and held great power, had the aura to control the world.

But what about today?

Where the emperor and empress were sitting, those two people had long since disappeared.What can be seen at a glance is the seat where the third prince and his wife are sitting.

Although, the rise of the third prince is a blessing for Great Zhou.

But for some reason, sitting like this gave Xu Rongrong a vague feeling.

seem……

Starting from the emperor, all the seats will be evacuated one by one, and then evacuated again...
