The house is quiet and dark, while the outside is cold and astringent.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, I felt weak, there was no light in the room, and there were only two sporadic lights outside.He wanted to call someone, but his voice was hoarse, he struggled to get up, put on his coat, and muttered dissatisfiedly that he found the servants, he had to scold them severely, there was no one guarding the bedroom of His Majesty the Princess.

He fumbled to the door, and when he opened the door, the cold winter wind blew in his face. He couldn't help the itching in his throat for a moment, and he coughed desperately. Tears came out of his coughing eyes, and the air in his lungs squeezed out. Dry.

"Princess, princess, are you awake?" Xing'er, who was wearing a winter padded jacket, was followed by two servants holding a brazier. When she saw her master holding the door and coughing hard, she wiped her face with her sleeve indiscriminately, and then panicked. run forward.

Tianxiang supported Xing'er's arm, and after a while, she walked slowly into the house, complaining, "Why is there no one left in the room?"

Xing'er lowered her head and didn't answer, she silently supported Tianxiang back to the bed that was still warm, and ordered the servants to light the lights in the house, put the brazier in place, poured a cup of hot water for Tianxiang, and stood up when there was nothing left to do. Stand aside and wait for orders.

After drinking a cup of hot water, her throat felt more comfortable. Tianxiang asked strangely: "Where is Tao'er? Why are you alone? Where's Madam Zhuang? I'm not awake, so you don't think I'm going to pay attention to you?" ?”

What answered her was Xing'er's kneeling, with a "plop", if it wasn't for the thick clothes on her body, Tianxiang would definitely suspect that just this one, Xing'er's knees were destined to bruise for a long time.

"If you have something to say, why are you kneeling?" Tianxiang was startled, and looked at Xing'er.

Xing'er still refused to speak, and the sound of twitching came from under her drooping head. After a while, a few tears fell on the ground, leaving a few dark marks.

"Are you going to kill me? Did you make a mistake, or what happened? If you don't tell me, do you want me to guess?" If Tianxiang didn't have the strength to get up early and grab Xing'er, what's the use of grabbing her like this now? Heart scratching.

"Princess, don't ask anymore, you will find out when you go to the palace tomorrow, tomorrow." Xing'er tried her best to suppress the trembling of her voice so that she could finish her sentence.

Tianxiang's heart suddenly beat wildly, she cheered up, and changed the question: "Where is Princess Yuqing? I saw her in my house before."

"Princess Yuqing spent three days trying to save you. She said that you would wake up in two days, and she would rest at the mansion and wait for you, but..." Xing'er almost slipped her tongue and continued after a pause. "You woke up an hour after she left, before Xing'er had time to arrange someone to guard you."

"She left in such a hurry? Didn't she leave any words?"

"Speaking of which, Princess Yuqing asked us to tell you, 'When you come, you can go, and you can't stay, you can't stay', Xing'er didn't understand what it meant, and Princess Yuqing didn't explain it, so she left gone."

Tianxiang touched it twice, but didn't understand what it meant, so she asked, "Where's Tao'er? And Nanny Zhuang? Where are they all going?"

"Tao'er is in the front yard, Nanny Zhuang has gone to the palace." Xing'er replied wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"What is Nanny Zhuang doing in the palace?"

"Go..." Myolie stopped talking again.

Tianxiang's bad premonition deepened again, she lifted the brocade quilt and was about to get out of bed.

"Princess, where are you going?" Myolie asked anxiously.

Tian Xiang said with a cold face: "Since you didn't say anything, this princess will go to the palace to find out what happened to my father, what happened to make the princess' mansion messy."

Xing'er pounced forward, grabbed Tianxiang's feet, and cried: "Princess, you just woke up, so you can rest for another night and go to the palace!"

"Do you think the princess is still in the mood to have a good rest because you are hiding it from me like this?" Tian Xiang ignored Xing'er, and threw the cup to one side of the ground, smashing it to pieces.

"Princess?" Tao'er, who knew that the princess had woken up, rushed over, and the crisp crackling sound made Tao'er stop at the door in horror.

Tianxiang looked at Tao'er coldly, "You are willing to come."

The tears on Tao'er's face were dried by the cold wind, but the red and swollen eyes couldn't fool Tianxiang. When Tianxiang asked, Tao'er felt guilty and knelt down on the spot, and couldn't help crying again.

"Tao'er, this princess treats you like a real sister, is this how you repay this princess?"

Tao'er was shaken all over, and looked at Xing'er who was sobbing and crying, and said in a panic: "Princess, no, it's not that we deliberately hid it from you, I was really afraid that you would be too sad if you knew it. You are not in good health, and lying down again After so long, we just want you to have a good night's rest, and the emperor will tell you the truth tomorrow."

"If you know it early, you should always know it later. You are people of this palace, so you should put this palace first in everything! How to judge, it should be up to this palace! If everything is arranged by you, isn't this palace Your puppet?" Tianxiang said angrily.

Xing'er and Tao'er pleaded guilty again and again, crying together, which gave Tianxiang a severe headache.

"Tao'er, are you going to tell me?" Tianxiang suddenly said loudly.

Tao'er immediately lowered herself even lower, and in fear, she opened her mouth and said, "The son-in-law died in battle, it was Zhuang Nanny who told us not to tell you, she went to the palace to discuss with the emperor..."

Tianxiang didn't listen to a word of the following words, only the words "The son-in-law died in the battle", "The son-in-law died in the battle", "The son-in-law died in the battle"...

"My son-in-law died in battle?" Mumbling to herself, Tianxiang felt that she must have hallucinations. That arrogant person, always like a person who manipulates the world in his hands, will die in battle?

"Actually, it's not really a death on the battlefield..." Tao'er said sobbingly, "I heard a report from the palace that the son-in-law had driven the last batch of thieves to the cliff at that time. I went back to Beijing, but, it’s just that no one thought of it..." Taoer burst into tears at this point.

Seeing that Taoer couldn't continue, Xinger interjected: "The son-in-law was seriously injured at the time, but the other general said that he needed the son-in-law to go over to get the letter of surrender in person, and the son-in-law passed alone regardless of General Dongfang's obstruction. They jumped off the cliff together... General Dongfang sent people to search for ten days at the bottom of the cliff, but they couldn't find it... The bottom of the cliff is a rushing river, even if the son-in-law was not dead at the time, but he fell into the water with injuries, and there were thieves there, The hope of survival..." Xing'er couldn't continue talking up to this point.

Tianxiang swayed her body for a while, and then supported the table beside her to stabilize her figure.

"Princess!" Xing'er quickly got up and supported Tianxiang.

"Prepare the sedan chair..." There was no trace of blood on the already pale face.

"The princess will go tomorrow..."

"Prepare the sedan chair!" Tianxiang roared angrily.

Tao'er got up quickly, her clothes were all wrinkled and she didn't have time to tidy up, so she hurried to order someone to prepare the sedan chair.

Seeing that Tianxiang has made up her mind, Xing'er goes to fetch clothes and puts them on for Tianxiang one by one.

With trembling hands, Xing'er tied it several times but failed to tie the rope under Tianxiang's neck into a perfect knot. Tianxiang's eyes were empty, staring at a certain place, not caring that she stood there and waited for a long time because of a knot.

When Tao'er came back to tell Tianxiang that the sedan chair was ready, Tianxiang ignored Xinger who was still worried about a knot, turned around and went out.

"Princess, wait for us!" Myolie trotted behind.

Tao'er pursed her lips, and followed her out the door.The princess had just woken up and hadn't eaten a single grain of rice, and now she was heartbroken again. If something happened on the road, they could take care of it.

The son-in-law is gone, the princess and the others must take good care of the son-in-law.

If it weren't for the fact that her body couldn't bear it, how could Tianxiang choose to rush to the palace in a sedan chair?Sitting in the sedan chair carried by the two, Tianxiang was so anxious that she wished she could put on a pair of wings and fly to the palace.Or he has martial arts like hers, and directly uses lightness kung fu, skimming over many roofs, and landing at the destination.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it...Feng Suzhen, I don't believe it!" Tian Xiang kept saying to herself, wringing her hands.

"Feng Suzhen, you don't want to punish me in this way! I don't believe it, you must be lying to me..." Tianxiang grabbed a handful of hair nervously, and looked around the size of the sedan chair helplessly.

"Princess, don't worry, we will arrive at the gate of the palace in a while." Tao'er, who was on the side of the sedan chair, said pantingly, as if sensing Tianxiang's restlessness in the sedan chair.

Tianxiang didn't answer her, she was thinking, what did she ask when she saw her father?Asked if her son-in-law is really dead?Ask if her son-in-law didn't even have a whole body?Ask her son-in-law... Her, son-in-law...

Staggering to the entrance of Xuanzheng Hall, Tianxiang paused again.

Nanny Zhuang stood at the door looking at her solemnly, then shifted her eyes to Xing'er and Tao'er who were sweating profusely, saluted slightly, said nothing, and stood at the door with Xing'er and Tao'er to wait. Zhuo Tianxiang came out of the hall after seeing the emperor.

Tianxiang stepped into the hall cautiously, besides the emperor, there was also a man in a scarlet official robe standing inside.

"You..." Knowing that it was impossible, my heart still couldn't help but look forward to it.

The tall and tall man turned around and saw Tian Xiang, with a look of unbearable joy and suppressed joy, he saluted and said hello: "Zhang Shaomin has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"You, why are you wearing her official robe?" Tianxiang asked angrily.

"Wei Chen..."

"Xiang'er, don't be rude. Zhang Shaomin is the prime minister who I asked him to temporarily replace Feng Shaomin." The emperor looked haggard, but he seemed to be in good spirits.

"Why? Father, did you know that she would not come back?" Tianxiang suddenly asked with a thought.

The emperor raised his eyes, his eyes were full of ruthlessness and indifference, "I don't know Li Zhaoting, how do I know whether Feng Shaomin can come back or not? Stop messing around, I have something important to discuss with Zhang Shaomin. Go back and take a good rest, I will summon you in a few days."

"Father, Xiang'er's son-in-law is dead! Your son-in-law is dead! The prime minister of Dacheng Kingdom is dead! Don't you have anything to say?" Tianxiang asked sharply.

The emperor looked coldly at the distorted Tianxiang, snorted and said: "Feng Shaomin died for the country, but she was not the only one who died in this trip. Even if she is my son-in-law, so what if she is the prime minister? The lives of other soldiers Isn't it life? Is her life the most important thing in your heart?"

Tianxiang looked at the emperor as if looking at a cold stranger, she couldn't believe that her father, whom she always thought was kind and loving, could say such heartless words.

"Father, you know why she led the troops to Jiaozi in person. She could not have gone. Liju didn't go, and she was still able to command the frontline soldiers to win the battle, but she went to Jiaozi in person. Who is she for? She is for me!" The tears that could not be shed all night finally collapsed.

"Father!"

When Tianxiang was crying uncontrollably, another roar appeared at the door, the emperor looked impatiently, but it was the prince who was full of hostility.

"Why are you here to join in the fun?"

"Father, did you send someone to give the poison to Mei Zhu?" The prince's eyes were on fire, looking at the aloof emperor.

"A little maid, is it worth your yelling at me like this? Don't one or two of you take me seriously? I'm not dead yet! You can't let yourself be presumptuous!" The emperor slapped the table vigorously, glaring Wide open.

Zhang Shaomin was thinking about saying a few words to ease the atmosphere, when the emperor pointed to him and said, "Zhang Shaomin, now that Feng Shaomin has passed away, you now have full authority to take over the position of prime minister! I order you to confine the crown prince to the East Palace. It is my will not to step out of the East Palace! Then confine the princess in the princess mansion, wait for Feng Shaomin's first seven days to pass, and then wait for my order to release her!"

"Father, you can't do this! I'm going to find her, I'm going to find her!" Tian Xiang threw herself in front of the emperor, begging.

"Father, it was you who killed Meizhu, and I will always remember that it was you who killed Meizhu!" The prince clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.

"Zhang Shaomin, what are you waiting for! Let me take them all away!" The emperor yelled at Zhang Shaomin, who was in a dilemma, holding his chest.
