Qing Yan

North Zheng capital.

In the forbidden palace.

The little emperor Yang You was writing furiously on the desk, writing with so much devotion that he completely ignored that there was a stranger breaking in from the palace.And the eunuchs serving him all lowered their heads, wishing they could bury their heads in the floor tiles in front of the toes of their shoes, and they all pretended not to see the person who broke in.

"What is His Majesty doing!"

The stern questioning was like a muffled thunder, exploding on the top of the little emperor Yang You's head. He was so frightened that his hands trembled, and a purple penny fell onto the paper, and soon it was stained into a large ball of ink.

Yang You raised his head in panic, staring blankly at the tall and burly middle-aged man who was striding towards him. For a moment, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, only his trembling young body and the momentary paleness His tight lips revealed the indescribable sense of fear in his heart at this moment.

The prince is dressed in Zhan Teng, with a three-foot green sword hanging from the jade belt around his waist.Entering the Forbidden Palace with a sharp weapon on his body, he looked all over the Beizheng government and the public, but he could never find another person.But even if he overstepped to such a point, no one dared to say a word.

Seeing the panicked expression on the little emperor's face, Zhan Teng snorted disdainfully in his heart: The emperor of the Yang family is really not as good as his generation!Not as good as Zhou Ting's little empress, at least she still has some guts.

Thinking like this, he strode to the little emperor's desk, and grabbed the letter with two lines written on it.

Because of his action, Yang You exclaimed, and didn't even dare to say a word of reprimand. He could only stare blankly at the pitiful letter paper with ink blobs falling into the thief's hands, his body trembling. It's getting stronger.

Zhan Teng looked down on him even more, the corner of his mouth curled up contemptuously, and his eyes turned back to the letter paper in his hand.Just took a look--

"Snapped!"

He slapped the letter back on the desk viciously, and the memorial, pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk trembled twice.What was clasped on the letter paper was a big hand with sharp joints.

"Does Your Majesty want to surrender to Ni Zhou?" Zhan Teng's voice was not high, but it was eerie.

Yang You was about to be scared to death by him, wishing that he didn't exist in this world at all at this moment, he didn't dare to answer Zhan Teng's words, he saw that Zhan Teng's other hand had already pressed the sword on his waist handle.He didn't even dare to raise his head to look at Zhan Teng's face, he was afraid, extremely afraid.

"I, General Zheng, are fighting bloody battles ahead! My son Zhan Yu spared his life to defend His Majesty against a powerful enemy! His Majesty did such a chilling thing in private!" Zhan Teng angrily denounced the little emperor for his ruthlessness .

Yang You only felt that these words sounded extremely harsh, a treacherous official who ignored the emperor and intended to seek power and usurp the throne, was here to reprimand himself swearingly!Why is it so grandiose!face!Do you want more?

Although Yang You is young, but he is also from the royal family, and he is in the position of the Ninth Five-Year Lord. He hates Zhan Teng and treacherous, and he is powerless. How can he bear it when he says this now?He didn't care about being afraid anymore, he frowned a pair of small eyebrows, his eyes were about to burst into flames, and he looked up at Zhan Teng's tall body angrily.

"I am the emperor! Dazheng's country is mine! I can do whatever I want!"

"Fart!" Zhan Teng interrupted his words mercilessly, and the rudeness he said didn't mean that he took into account the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, even if he treated ordinary children, he probably wouldn't be like this.

Yang You's little face turned from pale to ashen, and was turned red and purple by his rude and rude tone, his small body trembled violently: he is the emperor!How dare this thief minister scold him!

A fierce light flashed across Zhan Teng's eyes, "You are nothing without Gu pushing you to the throne! Without Gu's father and son to protect this country for you, Dazheng would have been wiped out by Ni Zhou long ago! You don't say you are grateful for Gu's kindness, but Secretly writing a letter to Ni Zhou here, wanting to surrender! Gu..."

Zhan Teng talked excitedly, he couldn't help pressing the hilt of his sword and took half a step closer, like a high dark wall, blocking all the light in front of Yang You's eyes.

And the people standing around were as unresponsive as wood carvings and clay sculptures.

"The eldest princess is here!" Outside the hall, the high-pitched voice of the inner eunuch broke the situation in the hall.

Zhan Teng came to his senses for a moment, he came to his senses, the tall body approaching Yang You retreated a little, and the expression on his face became much calmer.

He knew very well that now was not a good time to replace him.Zheng Jun and Zhou Jun were at loggerheads, so they had to use this opportunity to establish the Zhan family's prestige and make the Zhan family the heroes who saved the people of Dazheng.In this way, it will be a matter of course for Yang Zheng to succeed Yang Zheng in the future.Otherwise, it has not been done yet, and it is definitely not the work of a wise man to lose the hearts of the world.

Thinking of this, he felt that even though this little emperor had the heart to surrender to Zhou Ting, with his eyes and ears planted in the front and rear palaces, could he still let this little thing succeed?

snort!And let him live longer, one day he will be taken care of in the future!

Zhan Teng snorted secretly, with a respectful look on his face.He folded his hands first, and quietly hid the letter from Yang You that he had seized earlier into his sleeve pocket.Immediately afterwards, he turned around and bowed to meet Yang Xi who was walking into the palace quickly: "The old minister has seen His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"

Yang Xi focused his eyes, glanced at him lightly, ignored him, but walked quickly to Yang You, called "Your Majesty", and then there was some warmth in his brows.

The moment Yang You heard "The Eldest Princess is here", he felt relieved, and then a strong sense of grievance came to his heart, as if he had found a child to rely on.With red eyes, he threw himself into Yang Xi's arms, and muttered pitifully, "Auntie..."

Yang Xi vaguely heard what happened in the hall before.On the one hand, she hated Zhan Teng's treacherous and domineering; on the other hand, she felt miserable that the majestic Emperor Zheng was bullied by his subordinates, and the servants of the palace did not even respond at all. Is it true that Dazheng is going to die?

With a cold face, Yang Xi pulled Yang You's small body out of his arms, and pushed him back to the emperor's seat behind the desk.

Yang You originally wanted to find some comfort from his aunt, but was ignored by his aunt, and felt more and more wronged in his heart.But he had always known this aunt's indifferent temperament, so he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only snuggle into the seat and look at Yang Xi miserably.

Yang Xi scanned the hall for a week, his eyes finally fell on Zhan Teng's face, and said coldly: "You all go down! This palace has something to say to His Majesty."

Although these words were said to the palace people, Zhan Teng knew it was aimed at himself.

He cupped his hands at Yang Xi and the little emperor, "The old minister resigned!"

He is not afraid of what kind of tricks the aunt and nephew can play, Zuo is just a bird in a cage, so what if it is the eldest princess?Are you afraid that they will turn the sky upside down?And let her comfort the little doll!There are so many things to do!

Not to mention Zhan Teng's retreat here, all the palace people also retreated, and only two aunts and nephews were left in the hall.

Looking at the empty and lonely palace, Yang Xi felt a sense of desolation in his heart, and he didn't dare to sigh.

Yang You was extremely disturbed, he peeked at Yang Xi timidly, and carefully probed: "Auntie..."

Yang Xi looked at him helplessly, and asked in a low voice, "What did Your Majesty do?"

Yang You naturally knew what she was referring to, he lowered his head guiltily, and after a while he murmured: "I... I wrote a letter to Zhou Ting..."

"What!" Yang Xi raised his voice and asked, "What letter?"

Yang You lowered his head even lower, "Zhen, I want to make peace with Zhou Ting...Zhou Ting..."

"You!" Yang Xi gritted his teeth angrily, "Make peace? You want to surrender to Zhou Ting!"

Yang You's eyes widened in horror, and he eagerly argued: "Auntie! I'm not greedy for life and afraid of death! Really not! I...I hate him!"

Yang Xi frowned.Who is the so-called "he" referring to, how could she not know?What the little emperor did was to use Zhou Ting's hand to kill the old thief Zhan Teng.But--

"Just to hate him, are you going to take advantage of Da Zheng's power!" Yang Xi asked angrily.

Yang You burst into tears and said: "But what can I do? Brother Prince was killed by him... He, he will definitely kill me too!"

As he spoke, he raised his head suddenly, and met Yang Xi's eyes earnestly, "Auntie! He will take away our Yang family's land! I would rather hand it over to the enemy than let the inheritance of our ancestors fall into his hands!"

"You'er..." Yang Xi's eyes were wet.This move is simply burning jade and stone together!

Feeling sad and sad, she approached Yang You and stroked the soaring crown on his head, "Your, listen to Auntie and don't do stupid things. I have two 10,000+ army horses in Dazheng that can be used, Dazheng Zheng is not completely in his hands..."

Yang You looked at her in pain, "But, aunt, will they really be loyal to me? Do we really have another chance?"

Yang Xi's eyes were wandering, a little erratic, "Maybe, I can only do my best..."

When Zhan Teng left the Forbidden Palace, he originally wanted to bring his subordinates back to the office to handle official duties.Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, the deputy head of the mansion rushed to meet him, leading a few attendants, running fast, sweating profusely, the joy on his face could not be concealed no matter what.

"Congratulations, my lord! Congratulations to my lord!" Seeing Zhan Teng from a distance, the deputy manager got off his horse and rushed forward to congratulate him.

Hearing this, Zhan Teng's expression lifted, and he asked anxiously, "What's the matter?"

The vice-president smiled and said, "As soon as you went to court in the morning, the concubine concubine started her baby, and a little prince was born two quarters of an hour ago!"

Zhan Teng was overjoyed, shouted "Okay", and immediately ordered the vice-president: "You go back to the mansion right away, just saying that you are lonely, the princess has worked hard! After finishing the official duties, I will go back to the mansion immediately to see their mother and child!"

The deputy general manager agreed neatly, but he was thinking in his heart: If the words "side princess" are put in the mouth of the prince, they will become "Wangfei".This is another young master, oh my god in the palace, I'm afraid it's about to change!

Zhan Teng got the good news, and walked round and round happily in the office.At this moment, he seemed to feel less angry when he thought of the eldest son Zhan Yu who had sneaked out of the house in the distance and Zhou Jun's stalemate.In addition to not being so angry, it seems that there has been a subtle change in the mentality of the eldest son——

Do you like fighting so much?Then go ahead and call!With all his skills, if he doesn't go to the front line to fight, why should he just stay in the mansion and eat idle food?Hey!With such a fierce general around, even the little Emperor Zhou Ting could be injured like that, so why can't he protect his own younger brother who just came into the world?

Zhan Teng snorted in his nasal cavity, feeling that this son is not so obtrusive, and made himself helpless again.It's just that he is proficient in bow and horse and is proficient in the art of war. After several times of attacking the Zhou army's base camp, he has repeatedly retreated.

I got the secret security from the scouts yesterday, saying that the little Emperor Zhou Ting is recuperating somewhere?Why not start with her?

Thinking of this, Zhan Teng smiled colder and colder.

Yu Wenrui has a good foundation. She practiced martial arts when she was young, and she was well taken care of in the palace for many years.With such a foundation, she can recover from serious injuries much faster than ordinary people.Especially when she wakes up every day and can see Jing Yan, she feels happier.Once the mood is happy, the injury will recover quickly.

Her energy and spirit are also much more abundant than when she was injured at the beginning. The most obvious manifestation is that the time of sleeping is getting shorter and shorter, and the time of waking up is getting longer and longer.She still couldn't leave the bed and was bored every day. Fortunately, Jing Yan was with her to talk.

Yu Wenrui asked Jing Yan many times how she knew she was injured and came to Beizheng, but Jing Yan never gave her an answer.This made Yu Wenrui scratch his head even more, always feeling that there was an extremely important matter in his heart that could not be resolved.

Jing Yan was afraid that she would make trouble for no reason again, and for the sake of her health now, he could not criticize her, so he read the military newspaper delivered every day to her, also to let her know the meaning of the battle ahead at all times.

"Hey! This Zhan Yu is stupid enough! How many times has he attacked us? He came back with a feather in his hands," Yu Wenrui sighed regretfully, "If I were him, I would have been killed by a head-on collision! Pigs are bigger than him. Be stronger!"

Jing Yan watched her waving her right arm, wrinkled her nose, and looked disgusted, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching: How many soldiers and horses does Zhan Yu have, and how many soldiers and horses does Wang Jun have?If this is the case, Zhan Yu will win the battle, and everyone will live without embarrassment!

She really wanted to hit Yu Wenrui, but when she saw her tightly wrapped left cheek, she restrained herself.

The day before yesterday, while Yu Wenrui was asleep, Chai Qi changed the medicine there.As soon as Jing Yan saw the hideous place, tears fell down his face.She didn't dare to imagine what would happen if Wuyou got such a scar.Therefore, when she faced Yu Wenrui again, her heart couldn't help but soften a little.

Yu Wenrui noticed that Jing Yan was staring at his dazed appearance, and that expression contained not only concern, but also something else, which seemed to be some kind of unclear emotion.She moved her body towards Jing Yan, took Jing Yan's hand with her right hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, you will get better soon."

Ever since seeing Jing Yan again after being seriously injured, Yu Wenrui has never called her "Sister-in-law".It seems that Jing Yan doesn't care much about it.What makes Yu Wenrui even more happy is that as long as the two of them get along alone, Jing Yan never calls himself "Ai Jia" again, and often only calls "I", whether it is intentional or unintentional.

Jing Yan noticed that Yu Wenrui was comforting himself, and smiled at her, and let her hold one of his hands, and opened a letter with the other.

"Mr. Pei said that the Wuman Kingdom is not quite|safe."

Since Jing Yan came to Beizheng, Mr. Pei will report to her every detail of all the big and small things and every move in the court.Yu Wenrui knew about this, she was surprised——

"Wuman Kingdom? They also came to join in the fun? Or were they instigated by Beizheng?"

Jing Yan shook his head and said: "At present, it is not known what happened. However, Mr. Pei said in the letter that the mother's arrangement was very appropriate. On the one hand, eloquent people were sent to Wuman to lobby, and on the other hand, generals led troops. to the frontier to frighten the Wumans."

Jing Yan paused for a moment, then said softly: "Mr. Pei said that it was the British prince who took the initiative to ask his mother to go to the barbarian land to frighten the Wuman. The mother also agreed."

Yu Wenrui pursed his lips and remained silent.

The prince of England is Jing Heng. He is the uncle of the late emperor and an important minister in the court. In recent years, Prince Qiao of England has gradually entrusted all the affairs of the mansion to him. He has not led troops for a long time, let alone Go to a barbarian land and do something that an ordinary general can do?It's really a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.And it was he who volunteered.

There was only one reason for this: Jing Jiayue's trouble was too great, and it made the Jing family panic.Jing Heng, this is atonement for Jing Jiayue.
