Although they are above the court, some ministers who couldn't hide their surprise could not help being surprised because they were too surprised, and then realized their gaffe in an instant, shut their mouths in a hurry, watched their noses, noses, noses and hearts, but their hearts were turbulent non-stop.

"Father, my son has something to say."

To the astonishment of all the ministers, the crown prince had strode into the palace at this time, he saluted respectfully, his gestures were naturally noble, but what he said aroused everyone's clamor and discussion.

I saw the prince holding a jade wat board with firm eyes, "I am willing to lead the army to conquer the northwest!"

The young man's voice, but what he said was not frivolous, calm and steady, as if he had thought it through thousands of times, and his eyes, which were similar to those of the emperor, were full of solemnity and seriousness.

The veteran minister who was close could not help admiring in his heart.

Even so, there are still many voices of opposition from ministers in the court.

On the dragon chair, the emperor did not express his opinion. A pair of slender eyes fell on the prince, making it impossible to see his emotions, but in a place where no one was paying attention, the emperor's hands under the wide-sleeved dragon robe were trembling imperceptibly. He quickly closed his eyes to hide the watery light in his cloudy eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, the emperor was still a calm emperor who was not angry.

"Warning on the battlefield is different, and the emperor is recovering from a serious illness. Can you think clearly?"

The prince folded his hands in front of his chest, lowered his head and said solemnly: "My son is in good health, please don't worry about the emperor, the northwest frontier is my Great Yin's gate, if the Turkic people capture Baicheng, they will be able to drive straight in. Entering the land of no one, eternal safety is in danger."

"My son is not talented, but I also know that the situation is urgent. I am willing to lead the army to conquer the northwest and drive the Turks out of Great Yin!"

The young man was full of vigor and made a loud noise, which caused another commotion among the ministers.

Lu Jingyuan, who was hiding in the ranks of ministers, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. He took a peek at Xiang Nie, the leader, and saw that he was still silent, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

This side turned his mind a few times. On the other side, the prince has dealt with the ministers for several rounds. Faced with the ministers’ questions, the prince answered them one by one. A minister with a military background has hidden worries in his heart.

In the end, the emperor went against all odds and agreed to the prince's request.

The sun is rising high, and the warm sunlight shines on the white marble dragon stone steps in front of the hall.

In Zichen Palace, Tingzheng Hall was built on a high platform. Compared with the whole hall, it looked like a giant dragon, and the palace roads on both sides were like dragon tails.

The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, at the top of the stone steps.

Standing here, he could see the square in front of Zichen Palace at a glance. He looked at the prince's back from a distance, his steps were calm, but with the vigor and vigor of a young man, he couldn't help being lost in thought.

"Cough, cough, cough!" The severe cough caused the emperor to look away. Seeing this, Eunuch Sun hurriedly stepped forward to help Shunqi, his eyes signaled the maid on the side to hand over the tea cup tray, and filled the pills from the medicine bottle he carried with him.

The emperor raised his hand to signal that Eunuch Sun was fine. He pushed Eunuch Sun away, bowed his head to calm down, and swallowed the fishy sweetness welling up in his throat after a while, took the teacup and drank the pill.

Eunuch Sun on one side saw the pale face of the emperor turned more bloody, followed the emperor's line of sight, and saw the prince who had gone far away. , will surely return in triumph!"

The emperor was silent, Eunuch Sun thought that he had touched the emperor's itching, so he continued to laugh and complimented: "His Royal Highness is indeed very heroic, he is a born noble lord!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor suddenly turned his head to look at Eunuch Sun, only one glance made him shut up, muttering in his heart, somehow he violated His Majesty's taboo.

When the emperor turned his head again, the crown prince's back was no longer visible. He looked at the empty palace, his brows became more and more tightly wrinkled, and his slender eyes were full of incomprehensible thoughts.

The next day, the prince went out to fight, leading tens of thousands of troops.

The people of Yong'an City all went out to watch the excitement. They thought that the prince was young enough to shock the four armies, but they never expected that the prince would have a mighty army. He was wearing armor on a tall horse, and his eyes were restrained and steady, without any impetuousness of young people. Everyone in Yong'an City couldn't help but be amazed.

After passing through the city gate, the prince looked back at Yong'an City. The word "Yong'an" written in rough official script hangs high above the city head. The majestic city wall is simple and comfortable without any disaster.

"Prince," the man who looked like a deputy general drove forward and asked, "The soldiers have been assembled, should we start now?"

The prince turned his head and nodded slightly, looked ahead, raised his hand and said loudly: "Let's go!"

The chariots and horses are sparkling, and the flags of the Great Yin are flying.

It's just that no one noticed, on the high horse, the red thread flashed across the prince's raised wrist. Anyone with excellent eyesight would be surprised, why the red thread was only connected by a few strands, but it never broke.

On the tall horse, the one wearing the general's armor is none other than Huo Changying who disguised himself as the prince.

Huo Changying looked at the road ahead and remembered the scene when he met the Queen yesterday.

In the warm Hanguang Palace, the Queen Wang is wise and calm, and she can see what he is thinking at a glance, and she actually helps him to do so. According to what the Queen Wang said, one is to seek military merit for the prince, and the other is to find the demon in the prince's body. root.

But there are tens of thousands of ways to do this, but Queen Wang made people change the medical records of the Imperial Hospital, creating the illusion that the prince was in good health. He did not know why Queen Wang was so reckless.

What made him feel even colder was that the Queen Wang actually knew the identity of his man!

Thinking of this, the sun was just right at noon, but Huo Changying's back was dripping with cold sweat. He glanced at the little soldier next to the lieutenant not far away without a trace. That person had a mysterious movement, but it was the surveillance that the Queen had placed beside him.

Huo Changying understood what Wang and Empress meant, and if there was any discrepancy, he would be killed without mercy.

Now, he had no time to worry about the secrets, Huo Changying touched the red line on his wrist, he just wanted to get to Baicheng as quickly as possible.

Thinking so, Huo Changying raised his arms and said in a loud voice: "Travel lightly and move forward at full speed!"

"Yes!"

All the soldiers responded in unison, whipped their horses one after another, and raised waves of dust.

But at this time Zichen Palace, Qingliang Palace.

Concubine Nie looked at her son with displeasure, and asked sullenly, "You didn't study hard this early in the morning, what did you do?"

The third prince who had sneaked back froze. He complained in a low voice in annoyance. When he turned around, he looked obedient. He moved to Concubine Nie's side, "Brother Prince is going on an expedition today, and my son is going outside the palace gate. Send him off, mother concubine, you..."

Snapped!

Loud applause interrupted the third prince's words. Concubine Nie withdrew her hand and scolded angrily: "Why do I have such a worthless son like you?! He led the army to earn military merits, what kind of fun are you going to join in?" ?!"

The third prince was beaten to the side of his head, his face was hot, and blood oozes from the corners of his lips. The flattering smile in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a dead silence.

Zhong Qin who was following behind saw the blood red marks on the third prince's face, felt pain in her heart, and couldn't help taking a step forward, but the servants in his area spoke lightly and couldn't do anything.

Concubine Nie was filled with anger. She never thought that the sick young man in the East Palace would be able to go to the ground. Not only would he be able to go to the ground, but he could also lead the army. Looking back at her son who bowed his head and said nothing, the anger in her heart became more and more intense.

Concubine Nie raised her hand and gave another slap.

"My lord, calm down!"

Zhongqin finally couldn't bear it anymore, knelt down with a plop, and kept kowtowing for the third prince to plead for mercy. Concubine Nie Guifei, who had nowhere to vent her anger, seemed to have found a vent all of a sudden, and headed towards Zhongqin.

"Come on!"

Concubine Nie turned around and sat back down, her upturned eyes swept over the skinny servant who was kneeling on the ground, "Drag this little servant who doesn't know how to behave to me, and I'll punish you twenty times!"

She waved away the third prince who was about to grab her sleeve to beg for mercy, and took a sip from the cup of tea, only then did Concubine Nie feel that the anger in her heart had subsided a lot.

After a long while, Concubine Nie glanced at her son who was standing stiffly by her side, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, go to study, at least don't be inferior to the one in the East Palace in terms of learning, the concubine mother will have a way for you to compete with him! "

"On the contrary, if you don't live up to your expectations..." Before he could finish his words, the teacup dinged and was placed on the table, causing the third prince to shiver suddenly.

Concubine Nie glanced at her son, and the more she watched, the anger in her heart gradually rose again, and she waved her hands irritably.

The third prince saluted and stepped back, lowering his head to cover the anger in his eyes.

In the dark night, in the next room.

The candle went out with a snap, and the room was plunged into darkness.

Zhong Qin was lying on the couch, unable to move in pain, with cold sweat on his forehead. Everyone in Qingliang Palace knew that he had offended Concubine Nie Gui, and that he was beaten with the stick according to the truth. There is life.

Falling asleep in a daze, Zhong Qin suddenly felt his throat dry and murmured about wanting to drink water, expecting no one to answer, but unexpectedly, the warm and bitter soup flowed into his mouth to relieve the dryness of his throat.

Zhong Qin suddenly woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she met the worried gaze of the third prince.

"Your Highness, absolutely not, little one..."

The third prince raised his hand to interrupt him, and stopped him in his arms, so that Zhong Qin could lie down more comfortably.

"Don't move!" The third prince held Zhong Qin's flustered hand, "You are feverish, don't touch the wound."

Hearing this, Zhongqin didn't dare to move anymore, he lay quietly in the arms of the third prince, but his heart was full of mixed feelings.

After a few moments of silence, the third prince finally said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Zhongqin is sorry, I..."

"Your Highness!"

Zhong Qin was startled, and hurriedly struggled to get up, "How can you let His Highness say such things with a rough skin and a humble body?"

After speaking, he stopped suddenly, Zhongqin was hugged tightly by the third prince in a daze, he could almost feel the breath of the third prince against his neck, and he could even feel a stream of warm water coming from the eyes of the third prince. slide.

Zhong Qin was stunned, and her rejecting hand stopped suddenly.

"What's so good about that seat, mother concubine, why do I have to compete with the prince's brother, I don't like it, I don't like it!"

The voice of the third prince came with a muffled cry, Zhong Qin felt distressed, and slowly patted the third prince's back. He grew up with the third prince, and he was used to seeing Concubine Nie calling and drinking to him since he was a child, which was not unusual Mother's love and pity.

Although it is ridiculous for a servant to feel sorry for his master, he really loves him.

"Zhong Qin, I've only had you since I was a child," the third prince rubbed against his neck muffledly, like a wounded puppy, whimpering softly, "You, don't leave me, okay?"

Zhong Qin couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart when he was strangled by him. He is as humble as an ant, and life and death are not up to him. She took a deep breath, and Zhong Qin patted the third prince's back soothingly, "No, Zhong Qin will always be with His Highness Left and right, all the time..."

The moonlight was cool, and in this narrow and dark room, the two people whose status and levels were as different as clouds and mud were close to each other, cuddling together like cubs, drawing strength from each other, so that they could survive in the cold winter.

The army quickly left the border of Gyeonggi. After working overnight for several days, the soldiers were a little tired, so they took a short rest.

Although the emperor asked the inexperienced prince to lead the army, just to be on the safe side, the deputy generals assigned to the prince were all the few remaining experienced generals who had been on the battlefield.

Although Huo Changying had studied the art of war with his master for a few days, he had never had any experience, so he treated these lieutenants very respectfully, which also earned the prince a good reputation of being open-minded and accepting advice.

But when Huo Changying returned to the tent, and was about to calm down, he suddenly saw a black figure flashing past outside the tent, moving furtively, he was vigilant, and fell asleep in his clothes.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound of breathing in the military tent, and it was gradually groping towards the couch.
