Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Xiao Dongcheng, who was far away in Jincheng, suddenly received a letter from his son in the capital. He frowned deeply after reading the letter in his hand.

Mrs. Xiao saw that he looked wrong, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked softly: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Dongcheng angrily slapped the letter in his hand on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "It's all you. You've been arrogant and indulging this traitor all day long, and now he dares to kill him first and then tell you the story."

After Mrs. Xiao picked up the letter on the table and read it, she was overjoyed: "Why are you so angry? Feng'er has a woman he likes. This is a good thing!"

Xiao Dongcheng frowned and said, "What's the matter? Do you know who the woman he is interested in is?"

Mrs. Xiao smiled and said: "You can't fall in love with the princess, right?"

Xiao Dongcheng took out a secret letter from the table and handed it to Madam Xiao. Madam Xiao opened it and immediately exclaimed: "This brat really has a crush on the princess!"

Xiao Dongcheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "The emperor has sent an order for us and my wife to return to Beijing immediately!"

"This...this...is the emperor going to grant a marriage?" Mrs. Xiao's face was surprised and happy, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart. She knew that Xiao Dongcheng would never be angry for no reason. There must be a hidden secret in this. of.

The next moment, Xiao Dongcheng sighed: "Madam, you are confused. Madam, do you know how the Wei family was destroyed? Your Majesty is worried that our Xiao family will have more troops to respect itself. This is because he is afraid of the Xiao family. Who is Princess Jiaoyang?" She is the emperor’s favorite princess. If I really marry Feng’er, I will be older now and the emperor will take away the Xiao family’s military power!”

Mrs. Xiao's expression changed instantly, and the hand holding the letter couldn't help but use a little more force: "But Feng'er finally fell in love with a girl. You also know his temper. He will never look back on something he has determined. If he gives up, He is afraid that he will live alone in this life. We are the only son in our family."

Xiao Dongcheng was secretly worried: "I have never let him down, but after so many years, his fear of me has not diminished at all. Now this plan has been cast on my son. I am willing to disband and return to the field, but if this military power If it falls into the hands of other princes, the situation in southern Xinjiang, which has finally been stabilized, may fall into disputes again."

Mrs. Xiao was excited and said in shock: "Is it possible that after so many years, the emperor still can't let go of what happened back then?"

Xiao Dongcheng suddenly felt infinite sadness in his heart.

"Both my parents died when I was young, leaving only two siblings, Xian'er and me, in the family. In order to raise my sister, I sold myself into his house as a slave and accompanied him on his expeditions. Back then in Qingshan, he and I were originally The best brother. Qingshan and I have known each other since childhood. He and Xian'er are also childhood sweethearts. Qingshan is a responsible and enterprising person. He put down the turmoil in Northern Liao and the Western Regions back then, so I promised Qingshan to marry Xian'er to him. As a wife.”

"Unexpectedly, not long after we entered the capital, the late emperor fell seriously ill, and this matter was delayed. We helped him seize the throne. But he suddenly visited the palace and fell in love with Xian'er at first sight. He is the emperor, and we are the one he likes. How dare you say no even half a word?"

"Xian'er entered the palace and became a good concubine, and Qingshan and I became the Imperial Guards. I know the hatred in Qingshan's heart, but what can I do? We are just ministers after all."

"After all, Qingshan couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, so he resigned from his official position and became a Taoist priest. I originally thought that as long as he treats Xian'er well, this marriage can be considered a good one."

"But he didn't expect Xian'er to be pregnant with a child. He actually suspected Xian'er, which eventually led to Xian'er's tragic death. No one even wanted to see the child."

"If the imperial doctor hadn't saved Jin'er's life back then, my sister would have died without ever being able to rest in peace."

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been greedy for power after he ascended the throne, and had resigned early and retired to the fields, Xian'er would not have died."

Mrs. Xiao's eyes were full of heartache: "Master, I don't blame you for this matter. Now that Jin'er has returned to the capital and avenged his mother, my sister Jiuquanxia can also rest in peace."

Xiao Dongcheng suppressed the emotions in his heart, shook Mrs. Xiao's hand and said, "Go and prepare. We will set off tomorrow. Some things should be settled. Keeping evading like this is not an option."

Early the next morning, before daylight spread, the lanterns in front of the Xiao Mansion began to gradually light up. Soon, a carriage and a group of soldiers on horseback left the city.

Situ Yu, who received the news from the palace about Xiao Dongcheng's return to the capital, couldn't wait to leave the palace and went straight to the eldest princess's residence.

A quarter of an hour later, he rode his horse to the gate of the eldest princess's mansion.

"Your Royal Highness, the third prince is here."

Following the palace man's report, Situ Yu walked into the palace.

The eldest princess waved her hand to drive away the palace guests. Ice cubes were placed in the palace to block out the heat outside.

"Just came down from court?"

"Yes."

"But there is news from Jincheng?"

Situ Yuan sat on the soft couch beside him, with a hint of confusion in his voice: "It has been several days since we set out. I have already sent people out."

"But that Kong Wencai?"

"Yes."

Situ Xue sneered: "Xiao Dongcheng is already staying in Jincheng, and our people can't make a move. Now that he has left Jincheng, he doesn't bring many people with him. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How to do it? I don't think you need the imperial sister." Let me teach you! If you can’t win this matter, then there is no need for our cooperation to continue.”

Situ Yu naturally understood the meaning of the words. He raised his eyes and looked over, only to see Situ Xue's eyes were sharp and bright, as if he was not in her eyes at all.

Situ Yu's heart sank, but then he thought, now she had no choice but herself. Situ Xu could not count on him, the fourth child would not pay attention to her at all, and as for the fifth and sixth children, those two were totally useless.

Situ Xue continued: "Remember, let the people in Xiao Dongcheng see Kong Wencai's face, and be sure to leave him alive!"

Except for the sound of ice cubes dripping into the copper basin, there was no other sound in the hall, and the woman's voice sounded even more cold and ruthless.

Situ Yu lowered his head and said, "I know!"

Xiao Dongcheng's group here, heading north from Jincheng, did not stop on the way, but rushed towards the capital without stopping.

We were walking to a smaller village that day, and the sky suddenly turned gloomy. Dark clouds rolled in from the sky. In a blink of an eye, the sky seemed to be covered by a black cloth. Wherever we looked, the wind blew and blew the dust on the ground. It hurts people's eyes.

"grown ups!"

Li Jicheng, the guard beside Xiao Dongcheng, rode his horse to the carriage. The wind was so loud that his voice was blown away, so he had to speak loudly.

"Sir, it's going to rain soon, and it's still half a day's journey to the city. Why don't we stay in this village for one night to take shelter from the rain, and then start our journey tomorrow.
