One of the female generals of the Yang family

【Chapter 47】Comprehensive Strategy Two Kings Choice

In the night wind, Yang Shun's expression didn't change, he looked down at the person in his arms slightly, and said calmly, "Because that's the way to protect him."

Qin Xue didn't understand, Wudi got up, with a look of incredulity on her face, "You say you're protecting your own child?"

Yang Shun pulled her to stand in front of her, with a faint smile on her lips, "It's really unreasonable to put her in an ordinary house, but if it's in that courtyard, it's justifiable."

He helped Qin Xue to sit down slowly, tightened her coat for her, slowly moved his eyes to the begonias in the courtyard, stared at the colors swaying in the wind, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "There, Xiao Jiuyue is weak , the less he will be noticed. The emperor will not only have him as a child, and why he was named a "Prince" early is because he has a mother who the emperor can't get, but has always wanted. The emperor loves Wujiwu, It is natural for him to be special. And such 'special' will inevitably bring disasters to him."

Qin Xue didn't know anything about what Yang Shun said, so she stared at the person in front of her and listened carefully to what he said about the palace.

"If the emperor leaves this son alone, many people will be afraid of his true feelings for Empress Liu, so naturally they will not let Xiao Jiu go. Therefore, he must protect him from an early age. However, in such a place, if you want to survive, You have to appear weak. If Xiao Jiu is strong and healthy, she will attract more jealousy and hurt; if she is weak, she will not be able to live for a long time, so it will make people feel at ease."

Hearing Yang Shun's words, Qin Xue roughly understood what Song Zhenzong meant, and nodded in agreement, "Although the emperor is very distressed, he has no choice but to use this method to protect him, so a very light dose of medicine is used, so that it will not be bad. The kind that understands the mechanism. But I didn't expect that someone used a more poisonous method to kill Xiao Jiu with his hands?"

"Yes, it's not just one. Based on the analysis of what you told me today, it should be that two people acted at the same time. It's just that one wanted to drive him crazy, and the other wanted to put him to death."

"The emperor must not have thought that they were so vicious. He wanted to protect Xiaojiu, but instead harmed him. The method he thought was perfect made him an accomplice."

Yang Shun sighed softly, "There is no truly perfect method in the world, people will always find out the flaws, wanting to protect a person is as simple as wanting to kill a person, but equally difficult."

Qin Xue stood up, frowned and recalled, walked down the corridor, turned to look at Yang Shun, "One of them, I think, I know who it is."

Yang Shun got up to cover her mouth, and shook his head seriously, "You don't know, you don't know anything."

"But." Qin Xue slowly pushed his palm away, held his wrist tightly, and stared at him incredulously, "Why can't you say that the emperor actually knows right? Yang family, Pan family, everyone can Can you see the clues?"

"Yes. Everyone knows it in their hearts, but they can't say it. To the emperor, we are foreign ministers. We can be concerned about the safety of the country, but we must not interfere in the internal affairs of the royal family."

"Xiao Jiu is the country and the country, and his safety is everything."

Yang Shun shook his head slightly, "In the past, Xiao Jiu was very important, because the emperor had only one son, but now it's different, he has a younger brother, and the prince's biological mother is alive, the son is precious according to the mother, and the mother is precious. , the two of them appear together in front of everyone, naturally they are much more conspicuous than Xiao Jiu."

"Son of concubine Li Chen, Song benefited?"

Yang Shun frowned, and pulled her closer to him, "You can't say the prince's name casually."

Qin Xue nodded, turned her head to look at Song Xiang's room, bit her lip, and remembered the days when she was with Qin Nan when she was young, and the years after her mother's death, the anticipation and loneliness, especially in Daliao , alone, lonely, if there is no Yeluquan, without him, how can I live until now.

"What are you thinking?" Yang Shun shook her shoulders seeing her in a daze.

Qin Xue shook her head, "Recalling the days before, I suddenly felt that I was luckier than Xiaojiu. Although I also lost my mother, I didn't have a stepmother to harm us."

"Stupid." Yang Shun hugged her lovingly in his arms.

Qin Xue leaned against him lightly, "Yeah, what a fool." She suddenly remembered something, and looked up at that face, "Concubine Li Chen, isn't the maid of the Ninth Mother? Nine is better."

"If she had no children, she would definitely treat Xiaojiu well. Now it's different. She has her own ties, so she won't give her extra love to someone who will make her suffer."

"Pain? Xiao Jiu, will it make her suffer?"

"Yes, not only Xiao Jiu, but also Xiao Jiu's father will make her suffer." Yang Shun hugged Qin Xue back into his arms, "Concubine Li Chen, she was just a maid in the past. Household affairs and beauty, how can you win the favor of the emperor in the harem, and let her conceive a dragon son?"

Qin Xue shook her head in confusion.

Yang Shun smiled slightly, "That's because when the emperor sees her, he sees Empress Liu, especially when he sees her with Xiaojiu, he must regard her as Empress Liu, not herself."

"So." Qin Xue finally understood, "She doesn't want to be that substitute, she starts to hate Xiao Jiu, and wants to truly occupy a place in the emperor's heart."

"you can say it this way."

The two stopped talking, staring at the swaying tree shadow, each had their own thoughts, but they all came to one point. The days after this 'Little Nine' will no longer be peaceful, and the court will be divided into two forces, the supporters of the prince and the supporters of the prince. Supporters of the new prince.Concubine Li Chen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and her child will naturally not be content with the status quo in the future and just be a little prince.

Qin Xue looked sideways slightly, secretly wondering, which force will the Yang family belong to in the future?It is impossible for them to choose none of them. Since ancient times, no courtier has been able to stand out from the wind and rain without being affected.

But if the wind is strong, the tree will bend.From the current weight of Xiaojiu and Concubine Li Chen, it is still impossible to tell who is better.It's just that, as Song Yi's wings are full, the two forces are bound to have one high and one low, and they will not be equal. Concubine Li Chen has a more optimistic trend.

Five days later, Yeluquan finally arrived in Beijing and met with Song Zhenzong's palace. The matter they talked about was naturally the undecided marriage.On the day Yeluquan arrived, Yang Ye also told what Song Zhenzong had talked about when he recalled him from Cangmu Prefecture last time, and it really was about this marriage.It turned out that the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Great Liao Dynasty suddenly sent an envoy to send a letter, intending to end several years of war with the Great Song Dynasty, so as to achieve a win-win relationship.The person she fancy is Yang Jiasilang and Yang Shun.The person to be matched is Yelujin, the princess of Daliao County.

And this time Yeluquan came here to select a talented royal daughter of the Song Dynasty for Yelu Longxu to be the concubine of the Daliao Dynasty.

Yeluquan had no choice in his heart, and now he is willing to come, all because of Yelulongxu's order, he did it as a last resort, so he didn't care about this matter.In the conversation with Song Zhenzong, most of them answered with "Your Majesty decides", showing no interest.

Qin Xue stayed at Yang's house all day to play around with Song Xiang, thinking about the day when she would return to Xunguzhuang, but Song Xiang was here, and this plan had to be postponed.But just when he gave up the idea of ​​going home, a news spread from the rivers and lakes accidentally entered Qin Xue's ears.

Qin Han, the owner of Smoked Bone Villa, is critically ill.

Qin Xue understood Qin Han's body.This 'critical illness' is really strange, something must have happened to cause this situation.Qin Xue ran to the barracks, but was stopped by the gate guards. The two of them usually called her brothers and sisters, but now they blocked her from the door, and they felt a little sorry. However, the military regulations were difficult to violate. Song Zhenzong personally ordered that women were not allowed to enter the camp. Qin Xue We had to ask one of them to call Bailiyu out.

Qin Han has a close relationship with Bailiyu, and now that he is in trouble, Bailiyu will naturally not stand by and pack his bags hastily, preparing to go to Xungu Village.Qin Xue was worried and wanted to go with him, but just as she ran to say goodbye in front of Yang Ye, Song Xiang hugged her and forbade her to leave.

Yang Ye also felt that something was wrong, after all, Song Zhenzong personally ordered her to take care of Song Xiang, if she abandoned Song Xiang, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.In desperation, Qin Xue had no choice but to stay and wait for the future to make plans, but this 'future' was too difficult for her.

Song Xiang saw that she was depressed and not as cheerful as before, so he was anxious for her, and pulled her to his side when no one was around, "You can go home if you want, but you have to promise me one condition."

Seeing his cleverness, Qin Xue knew it must be a 'bad condition', but she couldn't help it, so she simply pretended to be stupid and said, "What condition?"

"Take me with you."

"No."

"Are you not worried about Qin Han?"

The room was very quiet for a moment, Qin Xue raised her eyes to look at him, turned around for a long time, "Why don't you worry, but I'm also worried about Xiao Jiu's safety, I need to be with you first before I can think of a way to make both ends meet."

"I heard that you are very brave on the battlefield and love to break the rules. Now, why don't you even have the courage to escape?"

"Stop using provocative tactics." Qin Xue smiled slightly, looking at this child with a fairly bright mind, he looked very much like Qin Nan when he was a child.

Song Xiang said coquettishly: "You can take me there, we will take the one you think is the most powerful of the Yang family and let him protect me."

"No." Qin Xue dragged him out of the door, "It's time to eat."

On the second day, Li Fu came in a hurry, followed by Yang Ye who was still walking quickly behind him, which showed that he was still very low-key this time.

"Yang Shun and Qin Xue listen to the order." Li Fu screamed, "According to the emperor's orders, Qin Xue is allowed to go to Xungu Village to visit Qin Han who is seriously ill, and Yang Shun protects 'Xiao Jiu' to go with her."

Qin Xue looked up in astonishment, and saw Song Xiang with a smirk behind Li Fu, and knew that he was the one who begged Song Zhenzong, but it was rare for the emperor to let his son go to the Yinshan area.

At the same time, Yang Ye hurriedly knelt down, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Qin Xue and Yang Shun looked at each other, thinking, Yang Ye's apology must be because of the name 'Xiao Jiu'.

Li Fu looked indifferent, and helped Yang Ye up, "Your Majesty said, I forgive you for your innocence, this 'Xiao Jiu' was well chosen, so far no one knows about the crown prince's stay in the Yang family."

"My lord, I'm ashamed." Yang Ye bowed and sent Li Fu out.

Before Qin Xue and Yang Shun got up, Song Xiang had already rushed over and happily picked them up, "When are we going to leave?"

Yang Shun looked at Qin Xue with a happy face, "Someone is already 'going home', let's clean up and return to Xunguzhuang tomorrow."

At the same time, Qin Ming, the chief guard of Xunguzhuang, led a group of people to hide at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.More than half of the people in the team were exhausted and fell on the dry grass, panting.Qin Ming led a dozen people out of the dead wood forest to check the surroundings.

It will be more than a month before the end of the year, the weather is suddenly cold, but everyone is wearing single clothes, it can be seen that they escaped from the village.

In Xungu Village, Qin Han walked down from the sickbed, walked to the table alone, sipped the half-cold leftover tea on his chapped lips, looked at the dead branches swaying outside the window, frowned worriedly, for a long time, said in a low voice, "Xue'er, don't come back."

The author has something to say: The historical queen regent Liu E will appear in the next chapter, spoiler: she is not dead!Xiao Jiu's mother is still alive!
