Princess [rebirth]

Concubine Xian secretly sent a new Gu Bi out of the palace, and Gu Bi was quickly sent to Xiao's residence and delivered to Xiao Liuniang.Holding the new Gu Bi, Xiao Liuniang finally breathed a sigh of relief, this time she carefully put away the Gu Bi herself, even the maids serving beside her didn't know the location of Gu Bi.In addition, the boxes and cages that were burned before were all the belongings and clothes that she was going to bring into the palace. Now that they have been burned, they have to make additional preparations. Therefore, the Xiao Mansion has been busy these days. Xiao Liuniang is ready.

The Duke Huai Mansion, which is some distance away from the Xiao Mansion, is still surrounded by the Habayashi Army. The people around the Duke Huai Mansion have closed their gates tightly these days, and they don’t go out for nothing, except for those who are in office in the court. Early in the morning, otherwise, although it is not too lively in the past, the few households with people walking around have been quiet for days, as if the people inside have been evacuated.

After Princess Huai He Shiniang entered the palace, she never came back. The whole palace was in panic. Although Sun Ruren was in charge of the palace in name, he was really useless when something happened. She would only cry and cry outside Dou Xun's courtyard, even if she had nothing to do, she would cry unluckily.So Dou Xun became ruthless, and directly grounded Sun Ruren in her yard, and did not allow her to go out. Even the little man she gave birth to was taken away by Dou Zhirong that day, and he did not return it to her.

How could Sun Ruren be reconciled?She entered the palace with a sweet dream, but it was not to be buried with Duke Huai. Although she didn't know what Duke Huai had done, but now she has alarmed the Habayashi Army, she must have committed a serious crime. She is still young and does not want to die. Her Aye is Shangshu, as long as she leaves the palace and returns to the Sun's house, Aye will definitely have a way to save her, so she has been clamoring to leave, even ignoring the young man who was taken away.

When the news of her noise reached Dou Zhirong's ears, Dou Zhirong just said indifferently: "She wants to leave? Go and tell her where her palace is. How can she let her come and leave as soon as she says? Go in." Even if the queen of the palace dies, she must die in the palace." The servant girl who came to the side to deliver the message responded in a low voice, her body trembling uncontrollably, although the young lady's tone just now was flat, the coldness in her words was surprisingly cold. Hearing this, I couldn't help but shudder.

After getting Dou Zhirong's order, the servant girl returned to Sun Ruren's courtyard. Instead of entering the courtyard, she yelled out the little lady's words through the courtyard gate.Sun Ruren, who was clamoring in the courtyard, rolled his eyes after hearing this, and passed out directly.Seeing that she was dizzy, the servant girl and mother-in-law pouted at the same time, and several people hurriedly carried her into the wing room, threw her on the bed, and then it was over.

All the concubines in Qunfang Garden had heard of Sun Ruren's noise, and they gathered together in twos and threes, worrying about the future of Duke Huai's mansion, but Lu Ruren locked himself in the room, Ignoring the movement outside, even if a concubine came to visit, she would avoid meeting her.

At this time, Dou Xun and Dou Zhirong had no intention of paying attention to the movements of the concubines, both of them were worried about Princess Huai who was summoned into the palace by the saint, and Duke Huai who had never returned to the palace. ...

Side Hall of Yiqiu Palace

After Zhuo Jingfan went to visit Dou Chun, he knew that the other's injury was only serious, so he felt relieved.In the past few days, he has been thinking about the strangeness of Dou Chun, and at the same time, he has not forgotten to inquire about the news of Duke Huai's residence and Xiao residence.When he heard that the sage sent Princess Huai to the Lizheng Hall, he immediately frowned and felt that there was something strange about it. Could it be that the sage wanted to put Princess Huai under house arrest?Just as he was still thinking about the saint's intentions, an inconspicuous eunuch in Yiqiu Palace suddenly begged to see him.

Zhuo Jingfan raised his eyebrows and agreed to the other party's request.

The inner eunuch walked into the Buddhist hall of the side hall and saluted him respectfully. Zhuo Jingfan called out and looked at him secretly. The matter is of great importance, so I ask Mr. Lang to step back." Zhuo Jingfan narrowed his eyes after hearing this, and said flatly, "Everyone back down."

When there were only two of them left in the Buddhist hall, Zhuo Jingfan said: "Speaking of which, what important matter do you have to report?"

"Back to Lord Lang, the He family has rebelled." The inner eunuch said without any nonsense.

"What?!" The news was so shocking, Zhuo Jingfan stood up in astonishment, and suddenly understood why the saint called Princess Huai into the palace and kept her behind. In order to deal with Prince Huai's residence, but to contain the He family, Princess Huai was kept in his hands as a hostage.But how can the saint be sure that the He family will worry about Princess Huai?If the He family directly gave up on Princess Huai, what would happen to the saint?

Zhuo Jingfan's mind was in a mess, the news was too shocking, but he quickly calmed down and glared at the inner eunuch, "Who are you? Where did this news come from?"

"Back to my lord, the young one has twins." Youshuang said softly, but didn't say where he got the news from. Zhuo Jingfan didn't have to ask any more. After hearing his name, he guessed the source of the other party's news. .

"Your Highness asked you to tell me?" Zhuo Jingfan asked in a cold voice, Youshuang didn't dare to hide it, so he quickly admitted it.Zhuo Jingfan stared at him for a long time before continuing to ask: "How long have you been in Yiqiu Palace?"

You Shuang pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "Back to Sir, I have been in Yiqiu Palace for more than a year, and I have been with you for more than three years." Zhuo Jingfan was shocked when he heard this, this time He didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't dare to look up, but just stood there with his head down, waiting for the next possible disposal.

Zhuo Jingfan was extremely shocked at the moment. According to what Youshuang said, when this body was married into the East Palace, eyeliner was arranged around her. As for who arranged it, the answer is ready to come out, but how is this possible?Wasn't the other party still stupid at the time?How do you know how to place people next to the princess?His mind was in chaos. Looking at Youshuang in front of him, the doubts in his heart emerged one by one. The strangeness and flaws about Dou Chun's past in the past few days surfaced again. The answer, but was ignored by himself.

In the end, he settled down, put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being, and asked about You Shuang in detail.It turned out that when Dou Chun was young, there were four internal eunuchs around him: You Fu, You Shou, You Shuang, and You Quan. You Fu became Dou Chun's in charge of the internal eunuchs. Youquan secretly conveyed the news for Lu Fu.

It can be said that except for Youfu, the real responsibilities of the other three people have been transferred to the secret, especially Youshuang, who even changed his name directly to stay by the side of the Crown Princess and watch over the Crown Princess for the Crown Prince.

"...Why did you reveal your identity today?" After hearing this, Zhuo Jingfan asked after being silent for a while. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to confirm it again.

"Back to your lord, I have been ordered by His Highness to convey this important news, and your Highness has an order to let me wait by your side in the future." You Shuang replied respectfully.

Sure enough, all of this was Dou Chun's order.

Suddenly Zhuo Jingfan felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart. Dou Chun confessed to him the existence of Youshuang, and sent people to his side, tantamount to directly admitting that his previous stupidity was just pretending. As long as he thinks that the other party pretends to be a child and cheats his trust and care, his heart will burst into flames again.

However, he was not impulsive, even though he was burning with anger at this moment, he still forced himself to calm down and straighten everything out.Although it is not a pleasant thing to be tricked, Zhuo Jingfan can also guess why Dou Chun pretended to be stupid. Given Dou Chun's situation in the palace at that time, if he didn't pretend to be stupid, it would be too soon. It was removed.

It's just that understanding is understanding, and it can be accepted intellectually, but it cannot be accepted emotionally.

So with a cold face, he drove Youshuang out, and then stayed alone in the Buddhist hall, gnashing his teeth and cursing Dou Chun, while still thinking in his heart, since the other party is not stupid at all, he still has the ability Putting nails around himself, he doesn't have to care about the other party's life and death, just let the other party fend for itself.

As for Dou Chun, who was staying in the Chongren Hall, after receiving the news of Youshuang, he felt a little bit in his heart, and then he sighed deeply. He had expected that Fanfan would be angry, and he decided to put Youshuang on the front page. In fact, it was because he didn't want to hide anything from Fanfan anymore, so he asked Youshuang to test Fanfan.And Fanfan's reaction did not disappoint him, as expected, he immediately guessed that he was pretending to be stupid, Fanfan's brain and wrist made him admire, he wanted Fanfan to stand by his side, and only Fanfan was qualified to be with him Standing side by side with him, the rest of the ladies couldn't catch his eyes at all.

Since his Fanfan has ambitions, he will not let the other party succumb to the harem, he is willing to give Fanfan a chance, a chance for Fanfan to prove that he can stand with him. ...

Zhuo Jingfan didn't know what Dou Chun was thinking, he was forcing himself to calm down, thinking carefully what would he do if he was in Dou Chun's position? ... After thinking for a long time, Zhuo Jingfan had to admit that even he would choose to continue to play dumb. After all, no matter when Dou Chun recovered, what he had to face were hidden and unknown enemies. Before sufficient ability can change, maintaining the status quo is the best decision.

From this point of view, it must not be too early for Dou Chun to really wake up, otherwise he would have been able to protect himself long ago, and the saint would not have married him, a gentleman who can ward off disasters.After he figured it out, the anger in his heart subsided a little, and he had to admit that even if it were him, he probably wouldn't trust his princess casually, after all, this was a matter of life and death.

But Zhuo Jingfan still felt very uncomfortable. Although he didn't show his heart and soul to Dou Chun before, he really cared about Dou Chun and pampered and taught him. Even his wives, concubines or brothers in his previous life never got it. Can't Dou Chun feel this kind of love and trust?Even if he can't say he's playing stupid, he can still give himself a little hint.

After all, Zhuo Jingfan was actually hiding it out of anger.

However, he was so angry that he would not forget the important event. The news of the rebellion of the He family in the northwest was too sudden. He had never read any records about the rebellion of the He family in the history books in his previous life, so when he heard that the He family had rebelled, he was really shocked. He was shocked.After all, the He family is a well-known pure minister, who neither stand in line nor join forces to seize the heir, so they can stand firm for a hundred years in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but now it is such a family of generals who are only loyal to saints, and they actually rebelled. Unbelievable.

He made up his mind, put aside the matter of Dou Chun pretending to be stupid for the time being, and thought about the matter of the He family, but he was still shocked, so he called Fu Ling and told her to inquire carefully whether the outside of the palace If there is any news about the He family, as for the news in the palace, there are two people to worry about. Dou Chun gave him someone, so he used it unceremoniously. ...

A few days later, when the news was delivered to the palace, Fu Ling hurriedly reported the news from outside the palace to Zhuo Jingfan, Zhuo Jingfan was lying on the soft couch at that time, straightened up immediately after hearing this, and asked repeatedly: "Are you sure?" ? The news has spread?"

"Back to Mr. Lang, the slaves and servants have inquired clearly, it's absolutely true." Fu Ling nodded anxiously.

Zhuo Jingfan frowned. He had been waiting for the Yong'an Rebellion, but he never imagined that the He family would collude with King Qin and King Chu. Why would the He family stand on the side of King Qin and King Chu?He clearly remembered that among the military generals recorded in the history books to put down the chaos, there was the general of the He family, who knew that this time the He family did not want to put down the chaos, but rebelled instead. ...

The news that King Qin and King Chu had rebelled has spread widely in recent days, and even the news that the He family had rebelled a long time ago spread quickly.After the news of the He family's rebellion spread, everyone in Prince Huai's mansion was imprisoned, including Dou Xun, Dou Zhirong, and Xiao Langjun who was only over one year old. Only Princess Huai in the palace, Because of the lack of information about the Lizheng Palace, they didn't know that the outside world had changed.

After Dou Shiniang collapsed that day, she was in a coma for three whole days before waking up. Originally, the Empress and Aunt Wang just placed her in a side hall and sent a few maidservants to wait on her, but because of the saint's inquiries several times a day, The queen had to cheer up and take good care of Dou Shiniang.When Dou Shiniang finally woke up, the queen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Dou Shiniang woke up, she was surprised that she was left in the palace. She wanted to ask the queen to send a message to the saint several times, but she was rejected by the queen. Later, the queen couldn't resist her request, so she just made it clear in a self-deprecating manner. "Spreading the word? Can't Princess Huai see it? My palace has long been under house arrest in the Lizheng Hall, so let's not spread the word. People in my palace can't even leave the Lizheng Hall."

Dou Shiniang was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the news that the queen had been resting more than a year ago, but she didn't realize that the queen was not resting at all, but was under house arrest.A chill rose in her heart. The saint sent her to the Lizheng Palace, did he also want to lock her up?She was suddenly upset, not only worried about the He family in the northwest, but also worried about the pair of children who were left in the palace. However, she was a little fortunate that Dou Xun hadn't been sent out yet, otherwise she would be accused of rebellion , even if Dou Xun never dies, his life will be ruined.

Not long after Dou Shiniang woke up, she couldn't hold on anymore, and passed out again. Her physical and mental exhaustion for a while made her body collapse again, which made her collapse. The government hall was in turmoil again, but fortunately, according to the saint's previous order, the eunuch who went to invite the imperial physician left the Lizheng hall smoothly.After the queen heard about it, a strange flash of thought flashed in her heart, but she then forgot about it.

The imperial physician came soon, and after some diagnosis and treatment, the imperial physician respectfully told the queen, "My lord, Princess Huai must rest at rest, don't get angry, and don't worry about it anymore. It doesn't work, please ask your empress to explain to Princess Huai more."

"... I know, let's step back." The empress waved the imperial physician back with a gloomy face.After the imperial physician left, the queen turned to look at Aunt Wang, "Auntie, did the saint treat Dou Shiniang a little better?"

Aunt Wang was startled when she heard the words, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you can't talk nonsense, why do you think so?"

"Auntie, I thought that the saint sent Dou Shiniang to the Lizheng Hall for the purpose of placing her under house arrest, but look, how many times did the saint send people to ask her in a day when she was unconscious a few days ago? The people in the palace couldn't even get out of the gate of the palace, but when they said they wanted to invite the imperial physician, the guards let them go without even asking. Now even a small imperial physician dares to let the palace relieve Dou Shiniang, you say, Who gave them the guts?" The more the queen said, the angrier she became, and the more she thought about it, the more wrong she became.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for talking too much, but I think you are thinking too much. I am afraid that Duke Huai committed something outside, so the sage wants to keep Princess Huai in the palace. Tell me, is it true?" Is it useful to be a living hostage, or a dead hostage? The reason why the sage cares so much about Princess Huai is definitely because he wants to restrain Duke Huai. Don’t forget, Duke Huai’s heart has always been big." Aunt Wang joined in. Go to the Queen's side and whisper.

Aunt Wang really thought so in her heart, after all, she didn't think at all that the saint would do such scandalous things as spying on his younger siblings. Since the saint didn't have affection for Princess Huai, then it must have something to do with Duke Huai, so Aunt Wang hurried To persuade the queen, if the queen can take good care of Princess Huai, the saint will be able to see the queen's favor, which will be beneficial to the queen's return to favor.

The queen frowned after hearing what Aunt Wang said. What Aunt Wang said seemed to make sense, but she still had a strange feeling in her heart. Although the sage never came to visit Dou Shiniang in person, she did not forget that at the time it was Lu Fu sent people to her Lizheng Hall. Many times, Lu Fu can represent the attitude of a saint.

While the queen was still guessing the sage's will, on this day, Dou Xun and Dou Zhirong, plus a young man who was over a year old, and a few maidservants were also sent to the queen's Lizheng Hall.

Seeing Aunt Wang, she was more sure of her guess. Even the queen was shaken. It seemed that the saint really wanted to deal with Duke Huai, so he would arrest his wife and children. But why did the saint not put them in prison, but Are they all sent to the Lizheng Hall?Could it be that her Legislative Hall has become a place for criminals?

Dou Xun and Dou Zhirong were also very surprised. On that day, the Yulin Army rushed into Duke Huai's mansion and arrested all the people in Duke Huai's mansion. Then they were put in prison, but they only stayed in prison for a few days. They were sent to the palace. They thought it was the saint who was going to question him, but they were taken directly to the Queen's Lizheng Hall.

It's just that now is not the time to be confused. When they saw the queen, they quickly saluted and greeted the queen, but the queen didn't call out for a long time. the sleeves of the clothes, calling back the queen's mind, and the queen cried out.

"Since the sage sent you here to me, I have to take care of you..." The queen said slowly, but before she finished speaking, Lu Fu came.The queen's words were interrupted, her face was naturally not good-looking, but she had already been grounded, and she had no power in her hands, so of course she didn't dare to offend Lu Fu, so she had to keep a frozen face, watching Lu Fu salute and greet her .

"It's really rare to see Eunuch Lu. I don't know what is the important matter of Eunuch Lu coming this time?" The queen was angry and wanted to stab Lu Fu with words, but Lu Fu didn't care, and replied respectfully: "Return Empress, my little one is ordered by the sage to come here to invite Prince Huai's son and this little one to take a trip to the East Palace."

"Duke Huai's son?" The queen was stunned, Duke Huai has never submitted a letter to invite him to be a son, where did this prince Huai come from?Not only the queen was stunned, but Dou Xun and Dou Zhirong were also surprised.

"Go back to your empress, yes, I would like to invite the son and the old slave to come." Lu Fu said while turning his head to look at Dou Xun. Dou Xun's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Lu Fu in disbelief.Dou Zhirong who was beside her was also extremely shocked, but she reacted immediately, and immediately tugged on Dou Xun's sleeve in secret, and Dou Xun also reacted immediately, and quickly bowed to salute, and said politely: "Please ask the father-in-law to lead the way."

Lu Fu led Dou Xun away from the Lizheng Hall.

After Lu Fu and Dou Xun left, the queen began to arrange for Dou Zhirong and others. She was too lazy to bother, and directly threw Dou Zhirong into He Shiniang's side hall to reunite their mother and daughter. Sent them together.No matter what the sage's intentions are, since people are sent to the Lizheng Hall, she has the final say on how to arrange them. After all, there is a lot for them to eat and drink.

On the other side, when He Shiniang in the side hall saw her daughter, she immediately burst into tears. She lay weak on the bed, unable to even get up.Dou Zhirong saw A Niang's haggard and sick face, her eyes were red, she immediately rushed to the side of the bed, and asked repeatedly: "A Niang, are you okay? What's wrong?"

"Auntie is fine, I feel relieved when I see you." He Shiniang raised her hand to gently caress her daughter's cheek, paused, and asked anxiously, "How did you come into the palace? Where is your elder brother? What's the matter?"

Dou Zhirong held A Niang's hand and told the story slowly. When He Shiniang heard that Dou Xun had been crowned heir and followed Lu Fu to the East Palace, her eyes gradually brightened, and the corners of her mouth slowly turned up. The whole person seems to have become radiant.

"Good! Good! Good! Hahaha... My He family is really not those rebellious officials and thieves!" He Shiniang cried and laughed, but said something Dou Zhirong couldn't understand, but she felt relieved when she saw that Auntie was so happy. He breathed a sigh of relief, but who knew that He Shiniang was smiling, but the laughter stopped abruptly. In the next moment, the radiance and anger on his face quickly faded away completely.
