Princess [rebirth]
Chapter 93 Retribution
It really happened as Hu Yanlv said, Fu Jue really had a very lethal firecracker in his hand, none of Tuoba's men came back, and even Tuoba's hiding place was surrounded.It wasn't until Fu Jue led people into the small courtyard where Tuoba was, that Tuoba knew that his whereabouts had been under the control of the enemy.
Although Fu Jue and his party walked slower than him, how could Dou Chun in the palace not move?As early as after the news of Fu Jue was sent back to the capital, Dou Chun had already set up a net to wait for Tuoba and the others. The reason why he didn't catch him immediately was because he wanted to see if there was anyone behind him.After confirming that Tuoba and his party had no other helpers, the people Dou Chun arranged in the county joined forces with Fu Jue and the others, removing all of Tuoba's subordinates at once.
Even if Tuoba himself is extremely powerful, there is no chance of winning against the firecracker, not to mention that Fu Jue brought many forbidden troops, so Tuoba had no way to resist, and was quickly captured alive by Fu Jue.After Fu Jue and others captured Tuoba, they hurried back to the capital. Concubine Xian and the young gentleman were also secretly sent to the palace, and directly sent to the empress's Lizheng Hall.
Concubine Xian was carried into the palace, and when Zhuo Jingfan saw her, he couldn't believe that the lady who looked several years older in front of him was the Concubine Xian who had been famous for a while.At this time, Concubine Xian's face was haggard and sallow, she also looked quite embarrassed, one could tell that she had suffered a lot along the way.Seeing this, Zhuo Jingfan couldn't help but wonder, didn't Fu Jue say that the barbarians treated Concubine Xian very kindly?How could Concubine Xian still do this?
Zhuo Jingfan didn't know that Tuoba and others treated Concubine Xian very kindly, but they were away from home, no matter how well-prepared they were, there would be omissions, and besides, the journey was tiring, and Concubine Xian was injured after giving birth In addition, after the concubine Lai Xian fell into the hands of Fu Jue, how could Fu Jue treat Concubine Xian preferentially like Tuoba and others, as long as he kept the other party upright and did not cause chaos or starve to death.
It can be said that the previous efforts of Tuoba and others were in vain. The hardships that Concubine Xian endured on the way back took away the little bit of energy she had cultivated earlier, and now she was in front of Zhuo Jingfan. It's so beautiful that it can't go anywhere, and its frail appearance looks like it has only one breath left.
Seeing Concubine Xian's current appearance, Zhuo Jingfan couldn't help but sighed in his heart, at first he didn't understand why the other party was making such a fuss, but after knowing the other party's life experience, he also knew that the other party was probably involuntary.Although I don't know what method King Hu used to successfully send Concubine Xian to the Great Zhou Dynasty and enter the palace as a concubine, but for Concubine Xian, a lady's life is buried in the palace. Moreover, being away from home, the suffering in my heart must not be less than that of others.
It's just that although he feels pity for the other party's experience, he will not be soft because of this. No matter whether Concubine Xian is forced or voluntary, after she enters the palace, the situation between her and Dou Chun is destined to be endless.A princess of the royal family of the Hu State, or a princess of the royal family of the Hu State who gave birth to the blood of the previous dynasty, such a dual identity cannot be accommodated in the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if it exists as the concubine of the former emperor, it is also impossible .
Presumably, Concubine Xian also expected her own ending, so since she entered the Lizheng Hall and met the queen, she didn't say a single word of begging for mercy, and her face could even be said to be calm, as if she was concerned about how Zhuo Jingfan would deal with her. She doesn't care at all.
The only thing that can cause her mood swings is the little man in her arms.
Concubine Xian's peace was broken when Zhuo Jingfan sent someone to bring Mr. Xiao Lang over. Concubine Xian put on her frail body and hugged Mr. Xiao Lang tightly in her arms, staring fiercely at the attempt. The servant girl who stole her child.The palace maid did not expect Concubine Xian's reaction to be so strong, and she couldn't grab the thin and frail Concubine Xian for a while.
Zhuo Jingfan just waved his hand when he saw it, and asked the maid to step aside. He got up and walked towards Concubine Xian, and stopped after three steps away from her. Sighing, "Your time is running out, how long can you protect him? You should know that his existence is not allowed." After finishing speaking, only Concubine Xian uttered a mournful cry, and her eyes quickly filled with tears , and then whimpered and cried.
Zhuo Jingfan had put away other unnecessary emotions at this time, and looked coldly at the crying hysterical woman in front of him.The identities of Concubine Xian and Mu Xuan doomed this young man who had just come into the world to have no chance to grow up.It wasn't that he was ruthless or cold-blooded. This child has the blood of the Great Wu Dynasty and the blood of the Hu people in his body. If he is not careful, he can easily be used as a fuss.
Moreover, Concubine Xian, as the concubine of the late emperor, had an adulterous relationship with someone and became pregnant after the late emperor's death. If not for Concubine Xian hiding out of the palace, it would be impossible to keep this child.It's a pity that this child doesn't understand anything, but he was implicated by the sins of his parents. He closed his eyes and said hard-heartedly: "Do it." Concubine Xian was no match for so many hands, and the little man in her arms was carried away in a short while, she yelled sadly, "Don't—let my child go! Please——no—— He's so young—leave him alone! He doesn't understand anything..."
Those palace maids hugged the child and left. At this time, there were only Zhuo Jingfan's confidantes such as Fuling, Hu Po, Chang Lin, etc. in the hall. Since there were no outsiders, Zhuo Jingfan didn't have any scruples about speaking, "He I don’t understand it now, but it’s hard to guarantee that I won’t understand it in the future. I can’t leave this hidden danger behind. How can you worry about the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty?!” He put his hands behind his back and said coldly, with a radiant glow radiating from his body. The aura of someone who has been in the position for a long time shocked Dowager Xian immediately.
"...You will have retribution! Zhuo Jingfan! You will have retribution—" Concubine Xian looked at Zhuo Jingfan with a complicated expression for a while, then gritted her teeth and cursed with hatred.
"I'll wait." Zhuo Jingfan said calmly, without being affected by Concubine Xian's words, his indifferent and calm attitude once again shocked Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian looked at him in a daze. He murmured, "Aren't you afraid? You killed such a small life, aren't you guilty?"
"The person who should be guilty and afraid is not me, but you and Mu Xuan." A trace of sadness flashed in Zhuo Jingfan's eyes. He looked at Concubine Xian's shocked expression and continued: "He shouldn't have come to this world, You and Mu Xuan had him out of selfish desires. His birth was full of scheming and conspiracy. As his mother, don’t you feel a little guilty? If it weren’t for your and Mu Xuan’s ambitions and plans, would he have been born? ?!"
Concubine Xian was so ashamed by Zhuo Jingfan's questioning, she naturally knew that after returning to the capital, she and the child would definitely not survive, but she was still holding on to a little luck, hoping to impress Dou Chun or Zhuo Jingfan and let them Leaving the child alive, he even wanted to be emotional, to draw out Zhuo Jingfan's tenderness and pity.Unexpectedly, Zhuo Jingfan was like Fu Jue, a man with a hard heart, and he would show no mercy to a baby under one year old.
She got dizzy for a moment, and cursed and insulted the other party. In fact, she wanted to vent the panic and guilt in her heart, because as Zhuo Jingfan said, the instigators of all this were not others, but herself and Mu Xuan.She clearly knew that if Mu Xuan failed, she and the child would have nothing to eat, and burial is inevitable, so how could she expect that Dou Chun and Zhuo Jingfan would be merciful?Isn't it too ridiculous to change places and expect others to do things that you can't do yourself?
Concubine Xian, who had figured it out, only had despair in her eyes. She no longer cried or cursed, but just stared at the direction where the child left. He came back again, followed by a few palace servants, among them was a maidservant holding a bowl of medicine, and the maidservant brought the medicine in front of Concubine Xian, Zhuo Jingfan said flatly: "Drink it, the palace can make the decision." Let you go without suffering, and don’t be reincarnated in the wrong birth again in the next life.”
Concubine Xian took one last look at the direction where the child was leaving, and calmly picked up the medicine bowl and drank the medicine in one gulp. After a while, her eyes slowly closed, and after a while, the palace on the side The maid stepped forward to confirm that Concubine Xian had lost her breath and pulse, Zhuo Jingfan sighed lightly, and said wearily: "The concubine was chanting scriptures and praying for the late emperor and the Great Zhou Dynasty at the White Horse Temple. The daring gangsters entered the temple to rob, and even took the concubine as a hostage. The saint spent a lot of effort to rescue him, but the concubine was seriously injured, and it is not easy to survive until now..."
At this time, there are not many people in the palace remaining in the palace, but they are all the confidantes of the sage and the empress. After hearing what the empress said, they understood the intention of the empress. If there are rumors that are different from this version, they must stop them in time.
After finishing Concubine Xian, Zhuo Jingfan waved his hand to the palace people to take down Concubine Xian's body, and then waved all the rest of the palace people away, leaving only Poria and Amber.When there were no other people in the hall, Zhuo Jingfan said in a low voice: "But none of the palace servants who have seen Mr. Xiaolang will be left, you understand?"
Fu Ling and Hu Po shuddered, and nodded solemnly. Zhuo Jingfan looked in the direction of Liangyi Hall and murmured: "If there is really retribution and punishment, it should be directed at me. I have already died before. One time, the hands are already stained with blood, and more lives are not afraid, as long as the throne is guarded..." His voice was so soft that Fu Ling and Hu Po beside him couldn't hear what he was saying at all. something. ...
When Dou Chun came to the Lizheng Hall at night, he keenly noticed that the faces in the hall had changed a lot, and Zhuo Jingfan's mood was a little low. After thinking about it for a while, he guessed the reason. Full of emotion.
Dou Chun held Zhuo Jingfan's hand, and led him to sit on a soft couch beside him. When the two of them got along, they liked to make the courtiers retreat. First, they could be alone, and second, it was easier to talk. After all, the conversation between the two Sometimes there are too many secrets involved in the court. Although the palace people are credible, it is better not to let the third person know about the conversation between the two. Return.
"Fanfan, thank you." After thinking about it, Dou Chun couldn't think of any words to express his heart, so he could only thank him dryly. What Zhuo Jingfan did for him cannot be described in words, although He can also do these things, but there is a person who is ahead of you and wants to protect you, which is really touching.
"Why do you and I say thank you?" Zhuo Jingfan said indifferently, Dou Chun held each other's hand tightly, conveying his thoughts and feelings to the past, Zhuo Jingfan snuggled up to him, feeling depressed It also dissipated a little, and he couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart. Could it be that he was infected by the cowardice of the original owner of the body?When in the past he would feel uncomfortable because of these things.
"Fanfan, you don't have to be sad, you are doing the right thing, we can't have any sloppy or negligence." Dou Chun put his arm around his shoulders, and said gently, the matter of Concubine Xian giving birth to a young man, the less people The better to know.Even the Shenwu army sent to meet Fu Jue before did not know that besides Concubine Xian there was a young gentleman in the carriage.
Fu Jue and his confidantes will know that there is nothing wrong with it, after all they were ordered to bring back Concubine Xian, but after Fu Jue found out that Concubine Xian had given birth to a son, he immediately knew that this matter must be kept under wraps, absolutely not Let others know, so he immediately sent the news back to the capital, cryptically mentioning this child of unknown origin.And he also sternly warned his confidants not to leak this matter.
Those who can get along well in the Imperial Army must have good eyesight. A former emperor's concubine suddenly gave birth to a child. This is a big scandal in the dirty court. They cannot know about it, nor can they manage it. So apart from following Fu Jue's orders, they didn't listen, speak or think about anything else.It was also because of their acquaintance and keeping their duty that Fu Jue, who had been watching secretly for a long time, finally did not have to sacrifice all of this forbidden army. You must know that it is not easy to train this confidant forbidden army.
After Fu Jue ensured that the news would not be leaked, the next thing to do was to deal with the palace servants. Since Zhuo Jingfan had already made up his mind that Mr. Xiaolang's palace servants would be eliminated, he would not arrange for the usual Trustworthy and responsible palace servants are by his side, so the palace servants who were in the palace just now are the ones he feels uneasy about.It has been almost a year since he took the back position, and these days are enough for him to screen most of the palace officials. The palace officials he selected for the Lizheng Palace today also made mistakes in the past. They had a chance, but they didn't grasp it.
Dou Chun has known about his arrangement for a long time, and has no objection to it, but feels that Fanfan is too soft-hearted, those restless palace people may climb on Fanfan's head as long as they have the opportunity, if they don't get rid of them as soon as possible , Do you still have hidden dangers around you?
"I know, but it's just that I can't think about it for a while." Zhuo Jingfan said a little downcast, but there was a trace of vigilance and suspicion in his heart. Recently, his emotions seemed to be a little different from his own, but a bit like the original owner in Fu Ling's mouth. Could it be...
******
The news that Tuoba and his party were in the Great Zhou Dynasty was soon deliberately passed back to the Hu Kingdom by Dou Chun.
King Hu was furious when he heard that, Tuoba was a strong general he was optimistic about, and besides escorting the princess back to the country, his most important task this time was to bring back the little prince who had the blood of the Great Wu Dynasty.If you want to say why King Hu is so rare about that little prince, it is naturally because he has benefited and helped from the remnants of the previous dynasty.
And under the instigation and instigation of the remnants of the previous dynasty, he felt that if he could help the Great Wu Dynasty restore the country, wouldn't he become the grandfather of the saint?This kind of status is higher than that of the monarch of a small foreign country today, so after discussing with his confidants several times, King Hu decided to help the Dawu Dynasty restore the country. A sworn enemy.
If it weren't for Dou's army being troubled back then, Hu's army would have entered the Central Plains long ago. If Dou's army could successfully revolt, it is hard to guarantee that Hu's back then would not have succeeded?At that time, the world was in chaos, and there were chaos everywhere. If there were no Dou's army to stop them, the Hu people would not have to guard this barren land to live.Compared with the turbulent life on the prairie, the Hu people have naturally taken a fancy to the stable and prosperous environment of the Central Plains. It can be said that without the Dou family army, maybe the Hu State could become the overlord of the Central Plains today?
That's why King Hu doesn't like the current royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Dou Clan. Hu Yanlu justified it and sent the eldest princess to the Central Plains. up.Over the years, Huyanlu has sent a lot of news back to the Hu State, which convinced King Hu that the eldest princess was doing well in the palace, and she was quite aspiring to win the post. If his eldest princess really became a queen, wouldn't he be a saint's Taishan?He was overjoyed in the country of Hu thousands of miles away, waiting for the news of his daughter's empress dowager.
But who knows that good times don't last forever, his daughter was beaten down by a concubine Wan!That Concubine Wan's promotion was astonishingly fast, and King Hu hadn't recovered from the blow of his daughter's fall from favor. This concubine, who was lower than his daughter at the beginning, had become the highest among all the concubines under the queen. The imperial concubine.
Fortunately, Hu Yanlu said that he has a way to get the concubine Xian back to favor, which made King Hu feel relieved, but Hu Yanlu also said that the next step is to plan slowly, and I am afraid that the eldest princess will not make a comeback in a short time.Although King Hu was anxious, he had also heard a saying from Zhongyuan: You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.And what he wants to eat now is hotter than hot tofu, so he can't be impatient.
Unexpectedly, he waited for so long, but only waited for the news of Tuoba and others' failure. How could King Hu not be annoyed by this?Tuoba's fighting power is extremely high, one can be used by several people, in the past when Hu country fought with other small countries, it was only by Tuoba, the god of death, that he could shock other enemies who were about to make a move. Now that Tuoba is lost, Hu Guo is like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out. Although it still has sharp claws, how can it gnaw bones without fangs?
King Hu naturally pinned his hope on Hu Yanlv again, and wanted the other party to quickly find a way to rescue Tuoba, but Hu Yanlv, who was usually very diligent in delivering messages, was silent this time, no matter how much King Hu passed on. The message to the other party is like sinking into the sea, and there is no response from the other party.
King Hu is finally in a hurry now. In the past, he was able to calm down leisurely and calmly because he had Huyanlu's eyes and ears in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now that he lost the news of Huyanlv, his eyes and ears were blind. Deaf, well, now the tiger not only lost its fangs, but also lost its eyes and ears. Hu Guo's situation suddenly became passive, and he might even be beaten.
And those remnants of the previous dynasty who fooled King Hu, seeing that the situation was not right, had already run away. When King Hu remembered them, they had already disappeared without a trace, making King Hu unable to find them even if they wanted to. ...
And where is Huyan Lv, whom King Hu cared about?In fact, it was still in the county where he and Tuoba met.
When Tuoba was captured that day, he happened to leave Tuoba's hiding place. Having escaped, he exclaimed that he was safe. He thought that his existence and whereabouts had not been leaked, but found out the next day that someone seemed to be following him. This made Hu Yanlv dare not act rashly, and kept trying to get rid of the tail that was watching the whistle.
It was also because of his ability that he actually let him shake his tail, but he was cautious and resourceful. After getting rid of the people who followed him, he did not leave the county town, but hid in the dark.He knew that the most dangerous place was the safest place. After he got rid of the other party, the other party must have thought that he would leave immediately, but he didn't know that not only did he not leave, but he also stared at the person who was following him.
After Hu Yanlu hid in the dark and observed for a while, he realized that the person staring at him might be the imperial guards in the palace. Now he was even more cautious, and would rather give up his watch and hide completely than have the slightest chance of being caught. possible.
It was also because of his prudence that the forbidden army had been searching the county for many days, but they could not find any trace of him. At this time, some people thought he had left, so the leader of the forbidden army left a small number of forbidden troops to continue guarding the county. The rest of the troops left the county seat, and then divided into several groups to hunt down Hu Yanlu.
Seeing that there were not many forbidden soldiers staying in the county, Huyanlu began to act. After a short while, he eliminated those forbidden soldiers one by one, and then left the county for the capital.But the leader of the forbidden army found out that they had not received any news from the subordinates who stayed in the county for many days. people, but still nowhere to be seen.
The matter has come to this point, the leader did not dare to delay, so he hastened to report the news to Dou Chun, Dou Chun frowned tightly looking at the secret report, it seems that this unknown person who helped Tuoba was very cunning, and he was able to escape the imperial army's attack Hunting, now the opponent's whereabouts are unknown, like a thorn stuck in Dou Chun's throat, always reminding him that there is still a threat outside that has not been eliminated.
This time let the other party run away, and don't know what kind of trouble the other party will make in the future, Dou Chun feels a headache.Just when he was troubled, Zhuo Jingfan came to the study with a tonic soup, Zhuo Jingfan saw that he was not hesitant, so he naturally asked with concern, and Dou Chun hurriedly told about this person.
"What is this person's background?" Zhuo Jingfan asked after listening.
"I don't know yet, Tuoba hasn't spoken yet." Dou Chun rubbed his eyebrows and said with some frustration.Unexpectedly, Tuoba was a tough guy, even when he was tortured, he still gritted his teeth and refused to speak. Since he was arrested and sent to prison, he has been carrying it hard without saying a word. Even Dali Temple Secretary expressed some admiration for this man.
"If Tuoba's mouth can't be pried open, can't other barbarians' mouths be pried open?" Zhuo Jingfan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Those barbarians are actually quite honest. Several of them committed suicide by taking poison when they were caught. The rest of them were seriously injured by the firecrackers. If they were to be tortured rashly, they might not be able to survive." Dou Chun didn't know. Is it because the people under Tuoba are all tough guys, or are other barbarians also like this.
"Since they are dying to survive, I think they are a little more timid than those who took poison. In my opinion, those who are seriously injured are not hard bones. They may be the breakthrough... How about..." Zhuo Jingfan thought for a while after hearing this. , and then leaned into Dou Chun's ear and whispered a few words.
The author has something to say: Hu Yanlu is not born again, but he is an extreme and persistent person, and he believes in things that even a few cows can't pull back.His family feud was caused by barbarians, and he insisted on blaming it all on Dou Chun, just because Dou Chun is now the master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, that is to say, someone else would be a saint. He will also be regarded as an enemy.As for why he blamed the sage, it is very simple to say, he thinks to solve the Hu country is what the pilgrims of the Great Zhou should do, but the sage failed to do it, causing his family to be ruined, so both the sage and the Hu country deserve to die... So It is said that paranoia is a disease and can be cured. ╮(╯_╰)╭
Although Fu Jue and his party walked slower than him, how could Dou Chun in the palace not move?As early as after the news of Fu Jue was sent back to the capital, Dou Chun had already set up a net to wait for Tuoba and the others. The reason why he didn't catch him immediately was because he wanted to see if there was anyone behind him.After confirming that Tuoba and his party had no other helpers, the people Dou Chun arranged in the county joined forces with Fu Jue and the others, removing all of Tuoba's subordinates at once.
Even if Tuoba himself is extremely powerful, there is no chance of winning against the firecracker, not to mention that Fu Jue brought many forbidden troops, so Tuoba had no way to resist, and was quickly captured alive by Fu Jue.After Fu Jue and others captured Tuoba, they hurried back to the capital. Concubine Xian and the young gentleman were also secretly sent to the palace, and directly sent to the empress's Lizheng Hall.
Concubine Xian was carried into the palace, and when Zhuo Jingfan saw her, he couldn't believe that the lady who looked several years older in front of him was the Concubine Xian who had been famous for a while.At this time, Concubine Xian's face was haggard and sallow, she also looked quite embarrassed, one could tell that she had suffered a lot along the way.Seeing this, Zhuo Jingfan couldn't help but wonder, didn't Fu Jue say that the barbarians treated Concubine Xian very kindly?How could Concubine Xian still do this?
Zhuo Jingfan didn't know that Tuoba and others treated Concubine Xian very kindly, but they were away from home, no matter how well-prepared they were, there would be omissions, and besides, the journey was tiring, and Concubine Xian was injured after giving birth In addition, after the concubine Lai Xian fell into the hands of Fu Jue, how could Fu Jue treat Concubine Xian preferentially like Tuoba and others, as long as he kept the other party upright and did not cause chaos or starve to death.
It can be said that the previous efforts of Tuoba and others were in vain. The hardships that Concubine Xian endured on the way back took away the little bit of energy she had cultivated earlier, and now she was in front of Zhuo Jingfan. It's so beautiful that it can't go anywhere, and its frail appearance looks like it has only one breath left.
Seeing Concubine Xian's current appearance, Zhuo Jingfan couldn't help but sighed in his heart, at first he didn't understand why the other party was making such a fuss, but after knowing the other party's life experience, he also knew that the other party was probably involuntary.Although I don't know what method King Hu used to successfully send Concubine Xian to the Great Zhou Dynasty and enter the palace as a concubine, but for Concubine Xian, a lady's life is buried in the palace. Moreover, being away from home, the suffering in my heart must not be less than that of others.
It's just that although he feels pity for the other party's experience, he will not be soft because of this. No matter whether Concubine Xian is forced or voluntary, after she enters the palace, the situation between her and Dou Chun is destined to be endless.A princess of the royal family of the Hu State, or a princess of the royal family of the Hu State who gave birth to the blood of the previous dynasty, such a dual identity cannot be accommodated in the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if it exists as the concubine of the former emperor, it is also impossible .
Presumably, Concubine Xian also expected her own ending, so since she entered the Lizheng Hall and met the queen, she didn't say a single word of begging for mercy, and her face could even be said to be calm, as if she was concerned about how Zhuo Jingfan would deal with her. She doesn't care at all.
The only thing that can cause her mood swings is the little man in her arms.
Concubine Xian's peace was broken when Zhuo Jingfan sent someone to bring Mr. Xiao Lang over. Concubine Xian put on her frail body and hugged Mr. Xiao Lang tightly in her arms, staring fiercely at the attempt. The servant girl who stole her child.The palace maid did not expect Concubine Xian's reaction to be so strong, and she couldn't grab the thin and frail Concubine Xian for a while.
Zhuo Jingfan just waved his hand when he saw it, and asked the maid to step aside. He got up and walked towards Concubine Xian, and stopped after three steps away from her. Sighing, "Your time is running out, how long can you protect him? You should know that his existence is not allowed." After finishing speaking, only Concubine Xian uttered a mournful cry, and her eyes quickly filled with tears , and then whimpered and cried.
Zhuo Jingfan had put away other unnecessary emotions at this time, and looked coldly at the crying hysterical woman in front of him.The identities of Concubine Xian and Mu Xuan doomed this young man who had just come into the world to have no chance to grow up.It wasn't that he was ruthless or cold-blooded. This child has the blood of the Great Wu Dynasty and the blood of the Hu people in his body. If he is not careful, he can easily be used as a fuss.
Moreover, Concubine Xian, as the concubine of the late emperor, had an adulterous relationship with someone and became pregnant after the late emperor's death. If not for Concubine Xian hiding out of the palace, it would be impossible to keep this child.It's a pity that this child doesn't understand anything, but he was implicated by the sins of his parents. He closed his eyes and said hard-heartedly: "Do it." Concubine Xian was no match for so many hands, and the little man in her arms was carried away in a short while, she yelled sadly, "Don't—let my child go! Please——no—— He's so young—leave him alone! He doesn't understand anything..."
Those palace maids hugged the child and left. At this time, there were only Zhuo Jingfan's confidantes such as Fuling, Hu Po, Chang Lin, etc. in the hall. Since there were no outsiders, Zhuo Jingfan didn't have any scruples about speaking, "He I don’t understand it now, but it’s hard to guarantee that I won’t understand it in the future. I can’t leave this hidden danger behind. How can you worry about the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty?!” He put his hands behind his back and said coldly, with a radiant glow radiating from his body. The aura of someone who has been in the position for a long time shocked Dowager Xian immediately.
"...You will have retribution! Zhuo Jingfan! You will have retribution—" Concubine Xian looked at Zhuo Jingfan with a complicated expression for a while, then gritted her teeth and cursed with hatred.
"I'll wait." Zhuo Jingfan said calmly, without being affected by Concubine Xian's words, his indifferent and calm attitude once again shocked Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian looked at him in a daze. He murmured, "Aren't you afraid? You killed such a small life, aren't you guilty?"
"The person who should be guilty and afraid is not me, but you and Mu Xuan." A trace of sadness flashed in Zhuo Jingfan's eyes. He looked at Concubine Xian's shocked expression and continued: "He shouldn't have come to this world, You and Mu Xuan had him out of selfish desires. His birth was full of scheming and conspiracy. As his mother, don’t you feel a little guilty? If it weren’t for your and Mu Xuan’s ambitions and plans, would he have been born? ?!"
Concubine Xian was so ashamed by Zhuo Jingfan's questioning, she naturally knew that after returning to the capital, she and the child would definitely not survive, but she was still holding on to a little luck, hoping to impress Dou Chun or Zhuo Jingfan and let them Leaving the child alive, he even wanted to be emotional, to draw out Zhuo Jingfan's tenderness and pity.Unexpectedly, Zhuo Jingfan was like Fu Jue, a man with a hard heart, and he would show no mercy to a baby under one year old.
She got dizzy for a moment, and cursed and insulted the other party. In fact, she wanted to vent the panic and guilt in her heart, because as Zhuo Jingfan said, the instigators of all this were not others, but herself and Mu Xuan.She clearly knew that if Mu Xuan failed, she and the child would have nothing to eat, and burial is inevitable, so how could she expect that Dou Chun and Zhuo Jingfan would be merciful?Isn't it too ridiculous to change places and expect others to do things that you can't do yourself?
Concubine Xian, who had figured it out, only had despair in her eyes. She no longer cried or cursed, but just stared at the direction where the child left. He came back again, followed by a few palace servants, among them was a maidservant holding a bowl of medicine, and the maidservant brought the medicine in front of Concubine Xian, Zhuo Jingfan said flatly: "Drink it, the palace can make the decision." Let you go without suffering, and don’t be reincarnated in the wrong birth again in the next life.”
Concubine Xian took one last look at the direction where the child was leaving, and calmly picked up the medicine bowl and drank the medicine in one gulp. After a while, her eyes slowly closed, and after a while, the palace on the side The maid stepped forward to confirm that Concubine Xian had lost her breath and pulse, Zhuo Jingfan sighed lightly, and said wearily: "The concubine was chanting scriptures and praying for the late emperor and the Great Zhou Dynasty at the White Horse Temple. The daring gangsters entered the temple to rob, and even took the concubine as a hostage. The saint spent a lot of effort to rescue him, but the concubine was seriously injured, and it is not easy to survive until now..."
At this time, there are not many people in the palace remaining in the palace, but they are all the confidantes of the sage and the empress. After hearing what the empress said, they understood the intention of the empress. If there are rumors that are different from this version, they must stop them in time.
After finishing Concubine Xian, Zhuo Jingfan waved his hand to the palace people to take down Concubine Xian's body, and then waved all the rest of the palace people away, leaving only Poria and Amber.When there were no other people in the hall, Zhuo Jingfan said in a low voice: "But none of the palace servants who have seen Mr. Xiaolang will be left, you understand?"
Fu Ling and Hu Po shuddered, and nodded solemnly. Zhuo Jingfan looked in the direction of Liangyi Hall and murmured: "If there is really retribution and punishment, it should be directed at me. I have already died before. One time, the hands are already stained with blood, and more lives are not afraid, as long as the throne is guarded..." His voice was so soft that Fu Ling and Hu Po beside him couldn't hear what he was saying at all. something. ...
When Dou Chun came to the Lizheng Hall at night, he keenly noticed that the faces in the hall had changed a lot, and Zhuo Jingfan's mood was a little low. After thinking about it for a while, he guessed the reason. Full of emotion.
Dou Chun held Zhuo Jingfan's hand, and led him to sit on a soft couch beside him. When the two of them got along, they liked to make the courtiers retreat. First, they could be alone, and second, it was easier to talk. After all, the conversation between the two Sometimes there are too many secrets involved in the court. Although the palace people are credible, it is better not to let the third person know about the conversation between the two. Return.
"Fanfan, thank you." After thinking about it, Dou Chun couldn't think of any words to express his heart, so he could only thank him dryly. What Zhuo Jingfan did for him cannot be described in words, although He can also do these things, but there is a person who is ahead of you and wants to protect you, which is really touching.
"Why do you and I say thank you?" Zhuo Jingfan said indifferently, Dou Chun held each other's hand tightly, conveying his thoughts and feelings to the past, Zhuo Jingfan snuggled up to him, feeling depressed It also dissipated a little, and he couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart. Could it be that he was infected by the cowardice of the original owner of the body?When in the past he would feel uncomfortable because of these things.
"Fanfan, you don't have to be sad, you are doing the right thing, we can't have any sloppy or negligence." Dou Chun put his arm around his shoulders, and said gently, the matter of Concubine Xian giving birth to a young man, the less people The better to know.Even the Shenwu army sent to meet Fu Jue before did not know that besides Concubine Xian there was a young gentleman in the carriage.
Fu Jue and his confidantes will know that there is nothing wrong with it, after all they were ordered to bring back Concubine Xian, but after Fu Jue found out that Concubine Xian had given birth to a son, he immediately knew that this matter must be kept under wraps, absolutely not Let others know, so he immediately sent the news back to the capital, cryptically mentioning this child of unknown origin.And he also sternly warned his confidants not to leak this matter.
Those who can get along well in the Imperial Army must have good eyesight. A former emperor's concubine suddenly gave birth to a child. This is a big scandal in the dirty court. They cannot know about it, nor can they manage it. So apart from following Fu Jue's orders, they didn't listen, speak or think about anything else.It was also because of their acquaintance and keeping their duty that Fu Jue, who had been watching secretly for a long time, finally did not have to sacrifice all of this forbidden army. You must know that it is not easy to train this confidant forbidden army.
After Fu Jue ensured that the news would not be leaked, the next thing to do was to deal with the palace servants. Since Zhuo Jingfan had already made up his mind that Mr. Xiaolang's palace servants would be eliminated, he would not arrange for the usual Trustworthy and responsible palace servants are by his side, so the palace servants who were in the palace just now are the ones he feels uneasy about.It has been almost a year since he took the back position, and these days are enough for him to screen most of the palace officials. The palace officials he selected for the Lizheng Palace today also made mistakes in the past. They had a chance, but they didn't grasp it.
Dou Chun has known about his arrangement for a long time, and has no objection to it, but feels that Fanfan is too soft-hearted, those restless palace people may climb on Fanfan's head as long as they have the opportunity, if they don't get rid of them as soon as possible , Do you still have hidden dangers around you?
"I know, but it's just that I can't think about it for a while." Zhuo Jingfan said a little downcast, but there was a trace of vigilance and suspicion in his heart. Recently, his emotions seemed to be a little different from his own, but a bit like the original owner in Fu Ling's mouth. Could it be...
******
The news that Tuoba and his party were in the Great Zhou Dynasty was soon deliberately passed back to the Hu Kingdom by Dou Chun.
King Hu was furious when he heard that, Tuoba was a strong general he was optimistic about, and besides escorting the princess back to the country, his most important task this time was to bring back the little prince who had the blood of the Great Wu Dynasty.If you want to say why King Hu is so rare about that little prince, it is naturally because he has benefited and helped from the remnants of the previous dynasty.
And under the instigation and instigation of the remnants of the previous dynasty, he felt that if he could help the Great Wu Dynasty restore the country, wouldn't he become the grandfather of the saint?This kind of status is higher than that of the monarch of a small foreign country today, so after discussing with his confidants several times, King Hu decided to help the Dawu Dynasty restore the country. A sworn enemy.
If it weren't for Dou's army being troubled back then, Hu's army would have entered the Central Plains long ago. If Dou's army could successfully revolt, it is hard to guarantee that Hu's back then would not have succeeded?At that time, the world was in chaos, and there were chaos everywhere. If there were no Dou's army to stop them, the Hu people would not have to guard this barren land to live.Compared with the turbulent life on the prairie, the Hu people have naturally taken a fancy to the stable and prosperous environment of the Central Plains. It can be said that without the Dou family army, maybe the Hu State could become the overlord of the Central Plains today?
That's why King Hu doesn't like the current royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Dou Clan. Hu Yanlu justified it and sent the eldest princess to the Central Plains. up.Over the years, Huyanlu has sent a lot of news back to the Hu State, which convinced King Hu that the eldest princess was doing well in the palace, and she was quite aspiring to win the post. If his eldest princess really became a queen, wouldn't he be a saint's Taishan?He was overjoyed in the country of Hu thousands of miles away, waiting for the news of his daughter's empress dowager.
But who knows that good times don't last forever, his daughter was beaten down by a concubine Wan!That Concubine Wan's promotion was astonishingly fast, and King Hu hadn't recovered from the blow of his daughter's fall from favor. This concubine, who was lower than his daughter at the beginning, had become the highest among all the concubines under the queen. The imperial concubine.
Fortunately, Hu Yanlu said that he has a way to get the concubine Xian back to favor, which made King Hu feel relieved, but Hu Yanlu also said that the next step is to plan slowly, and I am afraid that the eldest princess will not make a comeback in a short time.Although King Hu was anxious, he had also heard a saying from Zhongyuan: You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.And what he wants to eat now is hotter than hot tofu, so he can't be impatient.
Unexpectedly, he waited for so long, but only waited for the news of Tuoba and others' failure. How could King Hu not be annoyed by this?Tuoba's fighting power is extremely high, one can be used by several people, in the past when Hu country fought with other small countries, it was only by Tuoba, the god of death, that he could shock other enemies who were about to make a move. Now that Tuoba is lost, Hu Guo is like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out. Although it still has sharp claws, how can it gnaw bones without fangs?
King Hu naturally pinned his hope on Hu Yanlv again, and wanted the other party to quickly find a way to rescue Tuoba, but Hu Yanlv, who was usually very diligent in delivering messages, was silent this time, no matter how much King Hu passed on. The message to the other party is like sinking into the sea, and there is no response from the other party.
King Hu is finally in a hurry now. In the past, he was able to calm down leisurely and calmly because he had Huyanlu's eyes and ears in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now that he lost the news of Huyanlv, his eyes and ears were blind. Deaf, well, now the tiger not only lost its fangs, but also lost its eyes and ears. Hu Guo's situation suddenly became passive, and he might even be beaten.
And those remnants of the previous dynasty who fooled King Hu, seeing that the situation was not right, had already run away. When King Hu remembered them, they had already disappeared without a trace, making King Hu unable to find them even if they wanted to. ...
And where is Huyan Lv, whom King Hu cared about?In fact, it was still in the county where he and Tuoba met.
When Tuoba was captured that day, he happened to leave Tuoba's hiding place. Having escaped, he exclaimed that he was safe. He thought that his existence and whereabouts had not been leaked, but found out the next day that someone seemed to be following him. This made Hu Yanlv dare not act rashly, and kept trying to get rid of the tail that was watching the whistle.
It was also because of his ability that he actually let him shake his tail, but he was cautious and resourceful. After getting rid of the people who followed him, he did not leave the county town, but hid in the dark.He knew that the most dangerous place was the safest place. After he got rid of the other party, the other party must have thought that he would leave immediately, but he didn't know that not only did he not leave, but he also stared at the person who was following him.
After Hu Yanlu hid in the dark and observed for a while, he realized that the person staring at him might be the imperial guards in the palace. Now he was even more cautious, and would rather give up his watch and hide completely than have the slightest chance of being caught. possible.
It was also because of his prudence that the forbidden army had been searching the county for many days, but they could not find any trace of him. At this time, some people thought he had left, so the leader of the forbidden army left a small number of forbidden troops to continue guarding the county. The rest of the troops left the county seat, and then divided into several groups to hunt down Hu Yanlu.
Seeing that there were not many forbidden soldiers staying in the county, Huyanlu began to act. After a short while, he eliminated those forbidden soldiers one by one, and then left the county for the capital.But the leader of the forbidden army found out that they had not received any news from the subordinates who stayed in the county for many days. people, but still nowhere to be seen.
The matter has come to this point, the leader did not dare to delay, so he hastened to report the news to Dou Chun, Dou Chun frowned tightly looking at the secret report, it seems that this unknown person who helped Tuoba was very cunning, and he was able to escape the imperial army's attack Hunting, now the opponent's whereabouts are unknown, like a thorn stuck in Dou Chun's throat, always reminding him that there is still a threat outside that has not been eliminated.
This time let the other party run away, and don't know what kind of trouble the other party will make in the future, Dou Chun feels a headache.Just when he was troubled, Zhuo Jingfan came to the study with a tonic soup, Zhuo Jingfan saw that he was not hesitant, so he naturally asked with concern, and Dou Chun hurriedly told about this person.
"What is this person's background?" Zhuo Jingfan asked after listening.
"I don't know yet, Tuoba hasn't spoken yet." Dou Chun rubbed his eyebrows and said with some frustration.Unexpectedly, Tuoba was a tough guy, even when he was tortured, he still gritted his teeth and refused to speak. Since he was arrested and sent to prison, he has been carrying it hard without saying a word. Even Dali Temple Secretary expressed some admiration for this man.
"If Tuoba's mouth can't be pried open, can't other barbarians' mouths be pried open?" Zhuo Jingfan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Those barbarians are actually quite honest. Several of them committed suicide by taking poison when they were caught. The rest of them were seriously injured by the firecrackers. If they were to be tortured rashly, they might not be able to survive." Dou Chun didn't know. Is it because the people under Tuoba are all tough guys, or are other barbarians also like this.
"Since they are dying to survive, I think they are a little more timid than those who took poison. In my opinion, those who are seriously injured are not hard bones. They may be the breakthrough... How about..." Zhuo Jingfan thought for a while after hearing this. , and then leaned into Dou Chun's ear and whispered a few words.
The author has something to say: Hu Yanlu is not born again, but he is an extreme and persistent person, and he believes in things that even a few cows can't pull back.His family feud was caused by barbarians, and he insisted on blaming it all on Dou Chun, just because Dou Chun is now the master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, that is to say, someone else would be a saint. He will also be regarded as an enemy.As for why he blamed the sage, it is very simple to say, he thinks to solve the Hu country is what the pilgrims of the Great Zhou should do, but the sage failed to do it, causing his family to be ruined, so both the sage and the Hu country deserve to die... So It is said that paranoia is a disease and can be cured. ╮(╯_╰)╭
