"Which palace are you from?" The person who came was holding Zhao Yuan, wearing a black palace armor, with a cold and deep voice, it was actually a man.

"Inner court order!" The servant girl saw his face clearly, and no longer cared about the pain, she let out a terrified scream.

Zhao Yuan was in pain all over his body, but he also heard the address of the maidservant, so he immediately grabbed the man's sleeve: "There is another eunuch in the rockery... They were going to arrest me, but they mistakenly arrested me as Shen County Uncle son……"

The inner court order Liao Ting looked at the woman on the ground as if he was looking at a dead person.With a wave of his hand, four inner court guards rushed in behind him, and three of them went into the rockery to arrest people. After a while, the eunuch and the palace maid were gagged and tied up.After checking with Shen Kun in his arms, an inner court guard looked up and said, "My lord, I'm just in a coma."

Liao Ting nodded, then walked to the other side with Zhao Xiaoyuan in his arms.

"Where are we going?" Zhao Yuan asked weakly as he lay in his arms.

Liao Ting looked down at the child in his arms, and said calmly: "Your father's people couldn't get in, so he entrusted me to take care of it. I will take you to treat the wound first, and then send you back."

Zhao Yuan was in severe pain, so he smiled at him.Since they can walk in the palace and also serve as the inner court guards, then these people are all eunuchs?It really can't be seen at all, especially this Lord Inner Court Order.

Liao Ting walked all the way through the snow-covered path, and came to a palace that occupies a vast area but looks very empty and lonely.Two people dressed as female historians stood far away on the high steps. Seeing them coming up, one of them carefully took Zhao Yuan from Liao Ting's hand and quickly entered the side of the inner hall.

The inside of the palace is very warm, but the decoration is cold, and the hanging thick satin curtains are also plain.Zhao Yuan was placed on the soft couch, and two more maidservants stepped forward, carefully fed him iced water to make him spit it out, and another maidservant took off his coat and wiped his body with a hot towel.

Zhao Yuan's swollen mouth drank water, and when he spit it out, it was bloodshot.He hissed in pain and was given another sip of water.

"Xiao Langjun, open your mouth." The palace maid who fed the water coaxed softly.

Zhao Yuan opened his mouth according to his words, and felt a finger gently pressing his gums, but there was a little numbness there.The corner of the mouth hurt even more.

The palace maid looked at him with pity, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Xiao just lost a few teeth. Go back and drink some honeysuckle soup. Recently, I want to eat some soft porridge. OK."

What? !My tooth fell out! ?Zhao Yuan trembled all over when he heard the words, stretched out his little finger to touch his teeth, sure enough, the front teeth and the two lower teeth were gone, they were all bald!

"The corner of Xiao Langjun's mouth is a little torn, be careful not to touch it."

Zhao Yuan was about to burst into tears, no wonder his mouth hurt when he moved, but his gums were numb.

"My... my teeth..." he asked, whimpering.

"This—" The maid obviously also felt strange, so she got up and went to the outer hall, as if to ask Liao Ting.After a while, she came back with a strange expression, knelt down beside Zhao Yuan's soft couch, and then unfolded a handkerchief for him to see.

Sure enough, there were three puppy teeth on it, and the other one was only half in size, with blood stains on the fracture, which obviously fell out due to abnormal factors.Zhao Yuan exposed his fleshy little chest, sat up and counted carefully, then wrapped it up and prepared to take it back.He had an ominous premonition, the one with only half of it, wouldn't the other half still be in his mouth?

"Teeth, where did you find it?" the palace maid who wiped his body couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Before the woman in the lead could answer, Zhao Yuan turned around, looked at her and said seriously: "I bit the gangster who arrested me, and the teeth got embedded in it. I guess the inner court ordered the Lord to pull it out for me..."

The maidservant in the palace turned pale with fright, and looked at Zhao Yuan with trembling eyes.

Zhao Yuan bared his teeth triumphantly, and covered his mouth in pain.

"Xiao Langjun is too naughty." The palace maid at the front turned him back without changing his expression, complaining in his mouth, but neatly applied ointment on some scrapes and scratches on his body.Her movements were skillful and gentle, and her expression was full of love. Zhao Yuan never dared to tease such a "sister", but instead became confused.That being said, does this servant girl know him?

"My name is Zhao Yuan, what's your name?" Zhao Yuan asked her.

The woman wearing a cloud-haired hairpin and brocade blue palace clothes smiled slightly: "The name of my slave is Lan'e."

Lan'e seems to be the big maid in this palace. She took care of Zhao Yuan's wounds, fed him soup and medicine, then picked up a new set of bright red satin cotton clothes for him to wear, even the shoes It is also matching, embroidered with one color pattern.While putting on his clothes, Zhao Yuan secretly wondered, this palace looks deserted, it doesn't look like a child, how can he take out a set of clothes casually, but it fits perfectly?

He took Lan'e's hand and went back to the outer hall. Liao Ting seemed to have just met some important person. He was kneeling on one knee. When he heard footsteps, he stood up and turned to look at the newly dressed Zhao Yuan.

"Master Liao will take you home." Lan'e bowed and said with a smile, and handed Liao Ting a small package in her hand, "This is a milk cake for Mr. Xiao."

Liao Ting nodded casually, stepped forward to pick up Zhao Yuan, and led the men guarding the door towards Chaoyang Pavilion.

Lan'e stood on the high steps, watching the little red figure disappearing into the moon gate of the garden together with the two female historians.Lan'e's face was full of disappointment, she was still a little meat dumpling who could only eat and sleep in her memory.At that time there was no wet nurse in the palace, so they had to melt milk cakes for Xiaotuanzi to drink.Now that he has grown up so much, he is lively and mischievous, and...he doesn't remember them anymore.

"Xiao Langjun and Zhuang Ji really look alike." A female historian next to him sighed.

yes.But rather than saying that she looks like Zhuang Ji, it's better to say that she really looks like the one in the palace reading a book alone.She also sighed, turned and walked towards the inner hall on the left.

Lifting a layer of felt curtains and a layer of bead curtains, it is obvious that the master bedroom of the palace is decorated more gorgeously and warmly. Mrs. Lingguo leaned on the pillow to read a book, and did not turn a page for a long time.

"Ma'am, Master Liao has brought Mr. Xiao Lang back." Lan'e knelt at the door and said softly.

Mrs. Lingguo hummed for a while, she seemed to be no longer interested, so she put down the book and closed her eyes to rest.Her long and graceful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her thick eyelashes outlined a narrow and delicate eyeliner, trembling slightly.

"Does he look like it?"

Lan'e glanced at her: "It's very similar, more like you." She summoned up her courage and said, "Since you miss him, why didn't you just look at him? Xiao Langjun is really cute."

Madam Lingguo is silent, her face is not old, but her heart is old.When a person gets old, he will become timid, hesitant, and fond of recalling the past.

"What do I think he is doing? Zhao Chen took good care of him. No matter who he looks like, he is now Zhao Chen's son..." She smiled wryly, "I have never felt the love of being a grandmother. , but also thinking about the fate of saving him, why bother to make trouble for him?"

Zhao Chen couldn't command Liao Ting, so he asked her for help, and sure enough, something happened this time.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lingguo's eyes became cold again, and they were somewhat similar to Liao Ting's eyes.She thought for a moment, and said to Lan'e: "You ask Su Nv Shi to go to the Changchun Palace, and tell her that it is no longer advisable to be smart - give her those two people, the old woman can't move Qi Le for the time being, but ask Qi Le to replace the old lady." The woman taught Fan a lesson, and she dared not to follow suit."

"Here." Lan'e's expression became cold and hard.The child she had taken care of day and night was almost killed by two vicious stupid women today, this account must be settled!

Not to mention how worried Mi was when he found out that his son was missing with Zhao Yuan, and how surprised and worried he was when he saw the two children come back unconscious and injured. Yu went to see Zhao Gong.

Zhao Mian changed into regular clothes and stayed in the side hall. When Zhao Chen came, he invited him to have dinner with him.Whether it was when Zhao Gongqian lived in the mansion or after he succeeded to the throne, it was common for Zhao Chen to eat and live with him. After getting on the couch, he leaned over and poured Zhao Gong a glass of wine.

"What do you think of the dog army attacking the city this winter?"

Zhao Chen put down his chopsticks. He thought about this question for a long time, and opened his mouth and said: "I think that the Northwest Camp guards Xiguan every year. It has rich experience in resisting the enemy and sufficient food and grass. This year, it has been defeated one after another. According to the report from Xiguan, today's Quanrong The equipment is new, the stirrups and the broadsword have been replaced, if it is not collusion with the passers-by, it is already an ally."

Mr. Zhao nodded: "I think I have both."

"The monarch thinks..."

"Lu Lian once said, 'Dogs and wolves are like wolves, and an alliance can be made'. This is a golden word," Zhao Gong pondered. Years of war consume national strength, so it is better to form an alliance with Quandi. At that time, only Lulian argued against it, thinking that the alliance should never be concluded... The first king is gone, Lulian is dead, but the person who wants to form an alliance is still alive today .”

He looked at Zhao Chen and said word by word: "I will never form an alliance with the barbarians. You have been idle for several years, so go out with the army this time."

Zhao Chen got off the couch, and made a military salute on one knee: "The minister agrees, and dare not bear the burden."

He paused for a moment, then said again: "I have a request."

Zhao Mian raised his eyebrows and squinted at him: "...Let's hear it."

"I want to take my son with me." Zhao Chen said firmly.

Zhao Gong froze for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Zhao Chen, do you think the widow will agree?"

Zhao Chen was unmoved, and asked again: "I want to take my son with me, and I am willing to eradicate rebellion for the king!"

"Oh?" Mr. Zhao closed his smile, "Do you know who the traitor is?"

"Whoever the monarch says, that's who!"

Mr. Zhao looked at him coldly, as if weighing which option would make him feel better.It's a pity that he is not very happy with either.Of course, he finally spoke up: "General Xiguan Hussars, Jiehan. Kill that old bastard for me."

Zhao Chen bowed his head: "Here."

But Zhao Gong smiled slightly, and signaled to the eunuch Yu: "...signed the military order, if there is something wrong with Zhao Yuan, you will not tolerate the country of Zhao and the world." Let people know that Zhao Chen killed him secretly, they will be regarded as treason, not only will not allow him in the army, but Zhao can also expel him.

Zhao Chen looked at the military order in front of him, and his son's face flashed in his mind.He wrote down his name without hesitation, without any hesitation or regret in his heart.If he wanted to expand his power, he had to go to Xiguan, but he couldn't leave Anu in Jiangcheng, the people here would kill him, so he wanted to take Anu away.
