General, this plot is wrong

In Yandu in late autumn, the maple leaves are like fire, dazzling for ten miles.

On the road outside the city gate of Yandu, cavalrymen dressed in neat armor and looking dignified were getting closer and closer.Inside and outside the city gate, there were already people waiting, and countless people who heard the news surrounded them, looking forward to the return of this indomitable team.

"Is it King Qing? It's King Qing and they're back?"

"I heard that King Qing has also arrested the person who can make decisions in the Dayue clan!"

"Xishanying is really powerful. When I grow up, I will go to Xishanying too!"

"Look! That's General Lu, and General Lu is coming back with him!"

Hearing the increasingly clear discussions on both sides, Chu Heng raised his head and looked at Lu Ting who rode side by side with Zhao Duqing and walked behind King Qing.

He and Zhao Duqing wore similar silver armors, they were not brothers but they were more brothers, even the mounts under their crotches didn't meet head to head, and they snorted a few times.

Just watching from a distance, with just a back view, Chu Heng thought of a few lines of poetry for no reason——

Zhao Keman, Hu Ying, Wu Goosen, Xueming.The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star.

Although Zhao Yin issued an imperial decree, he ordered Qing Wang and others to defeat the Dayue family. After returning triumphantly, he set off to return to Yandu to reward his meritorious deeds and be promoted to rank.

But this time back to Yandu, King Qing didn't bring too many officials and attendants with him, he only brought a dozen or so close officials and more than [-] soldiers and horses, and he didn't open the way or show off along the way.He even bypassed the official road far away, suppressed a few bandit villages by the way, and then arrived at Yandu just like that.

To show his heart, Zhao Yin sent the prime minister and some officials from the Ministry of War to greet him outside the gate of Yandu City.King Qing and the others took a shower and changed clothes in the post house where they rested last night. They put on clean clothes and wiped off their armor.

The princess's carriage was guarded in the middle of the procession, using the most common carriage.After entering the city, the prime minister immediately asked her to change to a carriage.

At that time, the fourth princess Zhao Yan, who was canonized as Princess Pingle, also left Yandu from here, and went to the unknown Dayue clan.

Today, Dayan's army is defeated like a mountain, and the arrogance of the past is no longer. The king who married the four princesses in the past is dead, and their young and brave princess has returned with the warriors of Dayan.

The people on both sides held their breaths and concentrated. Many of them still remembered the grand scene when the princess got married. Now, seeing the wind blowing and the banners moving, a young man lifted the curtain of the car, and the young princess bent down and stepped out of the carriage.

"So lovely."

Chu Heng heard someone talking.

That's right, Zhao Yan's appearance is indeed very good, and her misery will completely disappear from today onwards.

He watched Zhao Yan sit on a carriage prepared by the prime minister with a roof like a treasure, with pictures of birds facing the phoenix on all four walls, and decorated with gold leaf and jade everywhere, and then he looked away.

With this turn, he met Lu Ting's gaze who was looking back.

Prince Qing didn't know about the mystery of Lu Ting's life experience, and they didn't intend to tell others about it.Entering the palace this time, for King Qing and Xishan Ying, was a reward for meritorious service, and increased officials and ranks, but for the two of them, it might be a catastrophe.

No one can guarantee that what is left behind that palace gate is life or death.

After everyone entered the city, the prime minister quickly made arrangements for the accompanying Xishan battalion soldiers and horses, and then according to the rules of etiquette, he was about to bring King Qing and others into the palace.

"Later." King Qing interrupted the prime minister, "It's inconvenient to enter the palace to face the emperor with this armor. We might as well wait for us father and son to return to the palace first, change our clothes, and then enter the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow."

"This……"

"My king also killed a few bandits on the way. He didn't take a proper bath and change clothes. He must have some blood on his body. It's not appropriate to just enter the palace like this."

The prime minister looked at the clean armor of the group of people, and swallowed the words again: "Then I will go back to the palace and report to Your Majesty first."

King Qing nodded, and after seeing off the prime minister, he turned his horse's head and headed towards Prince Qing's Mansion on another street.

After the prime minister returned to the palace, he tactfully told Zhao Yin about this matter. He thought he would be displeased, but he didn't want to. The newly enthroned emperor was magnanimous and expressed his understanding.

The generation of Yongxingfang was already very honorable.

As soon as the news of King Qing's return came out, the threshold of Prince Qing's mansion was first stepped down by the female family members of Xungui's family.Most of them are here to test the marriage.

After all, although the eldest son Zhao Duqing is a widower and has had an unclear relationship with a man, he still needs a woman to take care of him if he has sons and daughters.

Furthermore, Zhao Duqing does not take wives or concubines, and there is still Prince Qing's adopted son, so he is naturally another object worthy of win over.

When King Qing really came back, not only the female relatives tried to visit the door again, but even the hostess was eager to try, wanting to make friends with King Qing who had been at the border for many years and could not return to Yandu several times a year.

It's just that Princess Qing ordered the steward to close the door to thank the guests at this time, and no one was seen.

"Why do you want to enter the palace again tomorrow?"

After Dalang and Erniang's two children met King Qing and his son, Princess Qing waved and ordered her servants to bring the freshly prepared meals to the table.

King Qing took a sip of the wine, hugged the child on his lap, and while feeding him, he replied, "I'm going to the palace today to face the saint, and I'm going to have a banquet in the palace at night. When people get together, they will talk about everything." The concubine let my ears be clean for one night, and I will go to the palace tomorrow to suffer this torture."

Zhao Yin's throne was originally wrong.Even though the first emperor did intend to help him back then, the result was already settled when Emperor Mingde ascended the throne and Zhao Yin was sent to the fiefdom by King Fengyuan.After that, Zhao Yin forced the palace to seize the throne from Zhao Zhen, which was another matter.

What's more, everyone knows that Zhao Yin has the courage to force the palace, and there is his support behind it.Those courtiers and Chinese officials often mentioned the matter of cutting down the vassal state or taking back military power with only one sentence.

After all, the Dayue Clan is gone, and in the eyes of these civil servants who only know about it, it seems that any random person can hold the border very well.

As King Qing said so, he looked up and saw Liang Xin'an washing his hands and handling the crabs for Zhao Duqing, and immediately said: "Jingxuan throws that crab back, let Wen Sheng do it himself."

Liang Xin'an let out an "ah", held back a smile, and obediently put the shelled crab back on Zhao Duqing's plate.

The latter looked at the crab, then at the "Eight Pieces of Crab" handed to him, and hurriedly raised his head to find the alliance: "Father, you look like a sandalwood..."

"How is Cheng Tan?" King Qing snorted, and fed his granddaughter a mouthful of crab paste, "Cheng Tan is messing with Yan Tang."

Lu Ting, whose name was called, still sat quietly aside, putting scraped crab paste on the plate in front of Chu Heng.Chu Heng, on the other hand, coughed lightly twice, reached out and tugged at Lu Ting's clothes underneath.

Chu Heng: "I'll do it myself..."

Lu Ting: "You can't peel it well."

Modern people who don't know how to use "eight pieces of crab" glanced at the crab legs that they chewed a few times, then threw them aside, and silently withdrew their hands.

Facing Zhao Duqing's gaze again, Chu Heng could only smile, lowered his head and put the crab roe and crab paste and the meat in the bowl into his mouth silently.

During this meal, King Qing drank a few more glasses of wine, and finally asked the princess to help him back to his room.Zhao Duqing and Liang Xin'an each picked up a child and went for a walk in the yard to digest food.

The rest, Lu Ting, took Chu Heng's hand and slowly returned to the bedroom.

Outside the half-opened window, sweet-scented osmanthus blooms vigorously, and the night has not yet fallen. At a glance, there are clusters of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers everywhere on the branches.It's very fragrant, so fragrant that it makes people feel lost for a while.

"I'm going to enter the palace tomorrow." Lu Ting changed into his normal clothes and hugged him into his arms, "You have to be more careful."

"You have to be careful too."

Since Zhao Yin was able to find out what happened so many years ago, it is not difficult to know the relationship between the two of them now.

If Zhao Yin wanted to deal with Lu Ting, Chu Heng would definitely be implicated just in case.

Chu Heng also sometimes thinks that since Lu Ting is the protagonist of the story from the beginning, according to the protagonist's law and the protagonist's halo, he should not have any ending related to "death".

The worst thing is probably to feign death to get away and hide one's name.

Thinking of this, the uneasiness in his heart immediately became a little less.

That night, the two stayed together.

In the middle of the night, a light rain began to fall outside, pattering down on the sweet-scented osmanthus, causing the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus to drift into the inner room along the window cracks.

On the bed in the inner room, the two had a good night's sleep.

The next day, when Chu Heng followed Qing Wang and others into the palace to meet the emperor, the court had already dispersed, and the leading eunuch said that the emperor was already waiting for everyone in the imperial study.

This was the first time that King Qing and others visited Zhao Yin as courtiers.In the past, the king of Yuan who was driven to fiefdom because of the fear of the empress dowager, after being a favored prince, a vassal king without military power, and a regent who was clearly a puppet but seized the opportunity, he finally became the emperor above ten thousand people. .

When Chu Heng walked into the imperial study room, Zhao Yin was applying for concentration, and was writing Zhu Zhu on the memorial while holding the wolf hair.

After some etiquette, Zhao Yin hurriedly ordered people to watch and sit down.

"Brother Huang." Zhao Yin looked at King Qing, and sighed for a long time, "Brother Huang, you have worked hard on this expedition."

King Qing remained calm and accepted the sound of "hard work".

Then, Zhao Yin asked several people who came with him about the situation one by one, and was concerned about whether there was any injury on his body.When he asked about Lu Ting, although the expression on Zhao Yin's face didn't change much, Chu Heng clearly noticed that his eyes stayed on Lu Ting for a longer time than when he looked at other people.

"General Lu, I heard from Yan'er that she was able to return home safely thanks to you and a doctor Chu. I don't know if Doctor Chu has entered the palace?"

As Zhao Yin spoke, his gaze swept over the faces of the crowd, but landed firmly on Chu Heng.

Chu Heng's heart trembled, he lowered his head and walked out: "Chu Heng, a grass-roots man, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Zhao Yin had never looked at Chu Heng carefully, but when he saw him stand side by side with Lu Ting, he subconsciously squinted his eyes: "Doctor Chu really has a good face."

Chu Heng felt chills down his spine, so he had no choice but to respond: "Your Majesty's absurd praise."

"You were born so well, have you ever thought about Princess Shang?"

Zhao Yin's words came suddenly.Most of the people who entered the palace together knew about the relationship between Chu Heng and Lu Ting. Now that they heard Zhao Yin's words, even King Qing frowned, and it was hard to avoid guessing what he meant.

Everyone knows that the prince's daughter is called the princess, and only the emperor's daughter is the princess.Although Zhao Yin has children, they are still young, and the eldest princess is only eight years old, but it is impossible to point them to Chu Heng.

The only one who can be called a princess at a similar age is Zhao Yan.

Chu Heng held back his shock, cupped his hands and said, "Caomin is just a white man, so he is not worthy of a princess. What's more, Caomin... What a Longyang."

In a place where no one else could see, Zhao Yin's flexed fingers slowly let go, with a bit of satisfaction in his expression.

Chu Heng didn't pay attention, and neither did Lu Ting. Only King Qing, seeing Zhao Yin's expression, frowned.

The author has something to say:

Zhao Keman, Hu Ying, Wu Goosen, Xueming.The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star.
