Dragon Fate of Shan Hai Ji

Mu Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yes, for a while, the title still cannot be changed. It is no matter what, it is not the match of Prince Anshun." He said and looked at Fengtong.

Feng Tong said: "It's okay, as long as the crown prince doesn't make mistakes in the court and in front of all the officials." He added, "Zhou Li is not enough to cause trouble, but we have to worry about some people taking advantage of the water."

Mu Zhen continued: "This is natural, especially the two places must be kept in mind, please ask Prince Anshun and Mr. Tong to take care of them carefully."

Zhou Li's soldiers and horses fought fiercely with King Anshun's vanguard army in Taocheng for several days, and the situation was stalemate. King Anshun ordered the vanguard army to retreat hundreds of miles, and gave Taocheng to Zhou Li. After Zhou Li occupied Taocheng, Taking advantage of the victory, Anshun Wangjun only retreated and did not defend. In the blink of an eye, Pingbei Wangjun occupied several cities again.

Zhou Li was overjoyed, and spent a lot of money to invite a group of well-known literati, and ordered them to concoct an appeal to rebel against the party and protect the emperor, and spread it all over the world.The army marched forward bravely carrying the banner of protecting the emperor.

In the inner palace of Geshao, when he was half asleep and half awake, he also heard the battle report.The prince who served him wiped his tears and whispered: "I didn't expect Zhou Li to be a loyal minister."

He Shao coughed a few times, and said weakly: "What kind of loyal minister, he just doesn't want to be under Mu and his son, and wants to replace them. It's a pity that he will lose to Mu Ting."

The queen sitting on the bed choked up and said: "No matter what the intention is, it's good to get rid of some of Mu's wings."

He Shao struggled to stop: "Be careful, be careful, I won't live for a few more days, you have a long time to live, plan for the future, don't talk nonsense."

The queen couldn't help sobbing: "Your Majesty... How could the court become like this?"

He Shao smiled bitterly: "In the words of the national teacher, this... this is the destiny."

In the quiet room of Huangci Palace, Princess Chu Ling was also discussing the situation with the Queen Mother.

"Zhou Li and my father and king have known each other for many years, and they became kings together. Later, the West County and the North County were at odds. When the courtiers went to the battlefield, they fought against the North County several times. But King Anshun's army. If the emperor has other troops at his disposal, this is the perfect time."

The Empress Dowager said bitterly: "Now that all the courtiers are all on the side of the prince, how can there be soldiers and horses that can protect the emperor? Even if Zhou Li and King Anshun are both defeated, the emperor will not have the ability to backhand to benefit."

Princess Chu Ling's eyes were red: "It's a pity that the West Group has been taken by King Anshun, otherwise, even if the ministers fight to the death, they will lead all the soldiers in the West County to protect the empress dowager and empress."

The Empress Dowager's eyes overflowed with tears: "The courtiers who claimed to be loyal in the past are not as good as a weak woman... It's a pity..."

Princess Chu Ling said: "Even a woman can do something for the court. To be honest with the Queen Mother, my late father still has some old ministries in the local area, which have not been moved. If the Queen Mother has any orders, please feel free to send them." Shan."

The queen mother took her hand, weeping, opened a secret box on the dressing table, and took out a page: "The old officials in the court who are still loyal to the emperor are here. But once the Ai family comes into contact with them, they will definitely be punished by Anshun." Wang Yidang noticed. If Xijun has someone who can be used in Beijing, can he pass a message to them on behalf of Aijia?"

Princess Chu Ling took the list and nodded heavily.

Princess Chuling returned to her residence, and soon the crown prince arrived.Princess Chu Ling got up to greet her: "His Royal Highness has been busy with government affairs recently, so he came to visit Ruoshan. Ruoshan is very grateful."

Mu Zhen said: "It's because there are too many chores and I'm a little bored, so I came to see you."

Princess Chuling lowered her head shyly.

Mu Zhen raised his hand to touch her hair on the sideburns: "I heard that when you were in West County, you went to the battlefield to fight like a man. Do you know the depth of North County's army?"

Princess Chu Ling said in a low voice: "How dare you show your shame in front of the prince, Zhou Li is absolutely no match for His Royal Highness's army. When the world returns to harmony, all military power will return to the emperor's hands. My servants are here to congratulate His Highness."

Mu Zhen said: "Every time you say something, it happens to be able to unravel Bengong. To Bengong, you are really a cup of forgetful wine and a flower of understanding words."

Princess Chu Ling blushed: "Ruoshan has something that I want to dedicate to the crown prince." She took out a folded piece of old paper from her sleeve.

Mu Zhen took it and opened it: "This is a list." He was calm on the surface, but he was a little touched in his heart. The names written on this list were all confidant officials who were loyal to Anshun Prince's Mansion and Guoshi Mansion.

Princess Chuling said sweetly: "Exactly, Ruoshan took this list from the Queen Mother. In the past, the orchid guards of the West County Prince's Mansion were loyal and brave. In the whole world, the only ones who could mobilize the orchid guards were the courtiers. The Queen Mother invited me to go, and said that the Crown Prince was planning to usurp the throne, so she ordered me to use the Orchid Secret Guards to contact the people on the list."

The prince frowned and said, "But you are in the deep palace, how do you mobilize the orchid guards?"

Princess Chuling Yingying said: "The Empress Dowager allowed me to go out of the palace tomorrow morning to take care of my deceased father and mother. I made a kind of fragrant cake today and lit it after leaving the city. , They will come after smelling this fragrance, they already know that I am in the palace, and when they see this summon, they will come with the bees."

The crown prince looked at Princess Chu Ling for a moment, and after a while, raised her chin: "You are so smart and capable, how can I reward you?"

Princess Chuling bowed her head shyly: "Ruoshan doesn't need rewards. Both the queen mother and the emperor are confused by Nielong and Le Yue. Ruoshan and that Leyue are at odds with each other. The prince is the orthodox. As long as the prince can kill Ruoshan Le Yue, to avenge her parents. Ruoshan is willing to be smashed to pieces."

The prince gently stroked her cheek with his fingers, and in the quiet room, the shadows of the trees outside the house were reflected in a beautiful scene.

In the afternoon, Tantai Rongyue went to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, and smelled several kinds of fragrances mixed in the palace, he couldn't help saying: "It smells so good, is the Empress Dowager going to make incense? The Empress Dowager smiled and did not answer. Contemptuous of Tantai Rongyue's character, unwilling to talk to her, Tantai Rongyue sat coldly for a while, and another eunuch brought spices. The little maid took the name of the spices that had arrived in a note, and checked them. Tantai Rongyue listened for a while , Secretly surprised, and then discerned the fragrance already in the spices, and after the eunuch who sent the fragrance left, he asked aloud: "The empress dowager, the ministers have the courage to ask, the fragrance in the palace is the most fragrant of the drunken safflower in the Western Regions, but this fragrance main ingredient? "The queen mother ordered the little maids to put the incense into the inner room, and said: "I don't want Rongyue to be very proficient in making incense. "

Tantai Rongyue said: "My mother taught me some when I was young. I can just identify spices a little. The spices that the Empress Dowager asked for seem to be able to make a kind of orchid fragrance."

A court lady beside the Queen Mother said: "How can the Queen Mother want to make any incense, how can she ask, since the main ingredient is drunk safflower from the Western Regions, how can it be orchid fragrance?"

Tantai Rongyue got up and saluted, "It's the minister who overstepped. The Empress Dowager could just make orchid fragrance. The orchid fragrance...although the fragrance is light and elegant, but it should be used with caution. It may be harmful to the empress's body."

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment, and said: "Rong Yue, Ai's family knows your kindness, the weather is hot, you should go back and rest. Come to accompany Ai's family after dinner."

Tantai Rongyue had no choice but to resign and leave.

The little palace maids waiting in the corridor muttered: "The empress dowager is really magnanimous. This kind of person should let her go home as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty, I don't even bother to look at her anymore. She has a really thick skin. If it were me, I would ask to go home." "Oh, it's not worth going home. If you're not in the palace, you won't be able to see the prince even more. Maybe as soon as we go back, the prince will forget that there is such a person, she is all supported by the empress dowager, what an ungrateful thing!"

The voice of their discussion is not too low, just enough for Tantai Rongyue to hear.

The little maid who accompanied Tantai Rongyue peeped at Tantai Rongyue's face getting more and more gloomy, and secretly smiled in her heart.

Tantai Rongyue walked to the corner of the corridor, stopped suddenly, turned around, and the little maids discussing politics immediately shut up, she frowned and said: "I want to go to Si'an Palace."

The little maid said: "You are not allowed to move around in the inner palace, you should ask the Queen Mother for orders..." Before she finished speaking, another older maid secretly pinched her.The interface said: "No need, the girl is so loved by the empress dowager, the empress dowager has already ordered that in the inner palace, Miss Rongyue can move around at will, Shiyun Shixia, serve Miss Rongyue to Si'an Palace."

The two little maids responded and went forward to salute, together with three or four other young maids, they led Tantai Rongyue to Si'an Palace.

The older court lady watched them go away, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled.

Another little maid said: "Sister Lingqian, you are so loud. Tantai Rongyue is going to be in bad luck this time. Lingqian waved her handkerchief and fanned, "She must have listened to us." It's not easy to get angry, jealous of the prince who always goes to find the Princess Chuling recently, so he went to Si'an Palace to find the princess to vent his anger.Hee hee hee, what a fool.In the harem, jealousy is the most taboo. The crown prince hates her. If she makes such a fuss, she will never get into the palace's door in this life. "All the maids covered their mouths and snickered." It's a pity that we can't all follow.See for yourself how she pissed off.She usually pretends to be dignified and virtuous, but this time she finally showed her face.whee……"

Tantai Rongyue arrived in the Si'an Palace, and it happened that the concubine was not in the palace at the moment, Princess Chu Ling came out to greet her, and said with surprise on her face: "Rongyue, it's you! I've been in the palace for so long, and I've always wanted to see you, Let me talk to you, how are you all right since the farewell to Xijun?"

Tantai Rongyue said: "Ruoshan, I also miss you very much, is there a quiet room where I can talk?"

The smile on Tantai Rongyue's face was forced, but Princess Chu Ling seemed to be unaware of it, and introduced her into the palace where she lived affectionately.
