Empress of the Northern Zhou Dynasty

3 years passed too fast for Ashina.

In 3 years, many things have changed subtly.For example, Yu Wenyong's feelings for Ashina, Ashina felt that the emperor's attitude towards her was obviously different from the way of respecting her as a guest in the previous life, and this change made her happy; A little girl who can’t get close no matter what; such as Huier, the eldest princess of Xiangyang died young, the emperor brought her into the palace to raise her next to the queen, and happened to be a companion with Zhener. The relationship between sisters is very good, and she will not be lonely; such as …

In 3 years, there are many things that are destined to be unchangeable.For example, the battle between Yu Wenyong and Yu Wenhu has intensified; for example, when Yu Wenyong established the crown prince, it was still Yu Wenyun, and the princess was still Yang Lihua, the daughter of Yang Jian; for example, Yu Wenyong still proposed to Ashina at this time of the year A request to borrow troops from the Turks.

"Your Majesty, the climate in Turkic and Chang'an is very different. The concubines have prepared clothes, dry food and medicinal materials. The future is unknown for the emperor to go. The emperor takes care of the dragon's body and puts himself first in everything." Ashina knew that she couldn't change it. According to the emperor's will, she couldn't refuse the emperor's request, even if she knew what would happen afterwards.

"I know. The queen doesn't have to worry. It will take only half a month for me to go to Turkic. During this period, the palace will trouble the queen." Yu Wenyong took the burden from Ashina's hand, like a husband traveling far away, Ask Ashina gently.Time can prove a person's sincerity. He understands that the queen is sincere to him, so naturally, he also treats her with sincerity.Although he still has some concerns, he admits that this is his wife, and he also enjoys the warm feeling of being with the queen.

"The concubine knows." Ashina tried her best to hold back her tears. She hadn't cried for many years.She almost thought that her tears had been dried up in her last life.

"It's almost dawn, I have to avoid Yu Wenhu's eyes and ears before dawn, and leave the palace." Yu Wenyong stretched out his hand, wiped the tears from the corners of Ashina's eyes, and comforted him.

"Ah."

"Shenju, when I leave the palace, you follow the queen's command and deal with Yuwen Hu. Try to hide the news of my leaving the palace and buy time for me."

"The minister respects the decree."

Seeing Yu Wenyong disappearing into the darkness of night with dozens of imperial guards, Ashina finally burst into tears.Your majesty, my concubine wishes so much to tie you by my side and not to leave the palace.In this way, you will never meet Yang Xuewu, and you will always belong to the concubine alone.Although, this time, the emperor treats his concubines differently, the emperor finally has a place for his concubines in his heart, maybe the concubines are greedy.Ashina smiled bitterly, the concubine hated Yang Xuewu but also envied her, because she had received the emperor's unreserved love.

"Empress?" Yuwen Shenju looked at the always dignified queen, sitting on the ground and crying like a child without any scruples.He didn't understand why she was crying.But he knew that she was crying for the emperor.

"Shenju, you said, if you know that sending him away will make him farther and farther away from you, isn't this palace stupid?" Ashina felt that going back to the past life, after the emperor passed away, she could only rely on Shenju, with his help, maintained the huge state of Zhou alone.Yu Wenyun's licentiousness and ignorance of government affairs forced her, as a woman, to get involved in politics that she never liked, and got involved in power struggles.It can be said that Shenju is the one who has seen her cry the most times except Alia.

Yuwen Shenju was really confused, because he couldn't hear the meaning of the queen's words.Moreover, I don't know if it is an illusion, but the empress seems to have inexplicable trust in him?

"Forget it. It's windy, let's go." Ashina took out his handkerchief and wiped away his tears.

"Yes."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Half a month has passed since Yu Wenyong left.Sure enough, as Ashina knew in advance, what Shenju brought was the news that the emperor's whereabouts were unknown.

"Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to look for the Emperor—" Shenju has been in contact with the Empress for half a month.Time and time again, they dealt with the spies sent by Yuwen Hu, intending to find out whether the emperor was in the palace or not.Once, Yu Wenhu simply questioned him directly in the court, which made him unable to resist.Fortunately, the empress was witty, and unexpectedly appeared in the court hall in a gorgeous dress, claiming that the emperor had no intention of governing the court, and that he was doing his best for the royal heirs by staying in the palace of Fengyi every day.Suddenly, the hall was silent.Since then, he has admired the queen's wisdom and courage.

"Shenju, immediately send troops to infiltrate into the border of Qi State. If the emperor is in Zhou State, it will be fine. He will definitely contact the local magistrate and get in touch with us. If the emperor lives in Qi State, it will be dangerous if his identity is exposed. It is inconvenient for Ashina to directly tell the Emperor Shenju that he should be on the border of Qi State, "Also, closely monitor the movement of Qi State's army. If the emperor's whereabouts are unknown, it is very likely that the news of living in Qi State will be leaked—" After that Yes, Ashina didn't even think about it.

"Yes. I will do it immediately." Yuwen Shenju once again lamented that the Queen's thoughtfulness was not as good as herself.

Looking at the chess game, Ashina was really worried, hoping that something would happen elsewhere.

"Your Majesty, General Yuchi Jiong is asking to see you." A Liya came in to report after seeing her mother and Yuwen Shenju finished talking.

"Let him come in." Putting down the chess pieces in his hand, Ashina ordered.

Yu Chijiong is a rare handsome talent, one of the few generals who can stand up to King Lanling's army today.He is loyal, but it is a pity that he died in the battle between the emperor and Yu Wenhu in his last life.If he didn't die, it would be Yang Jian's turn to monopolize military power in the future.

"Yes."

"My minister sees the empress." Yu Chijiong lowered his head and bowed his body to greet the empress.

It is inconvenient for the outsider to see the people in the harem, but through the curtain, Ashina can still see a bright new wound on his handsome face.The original hostility as a soldier became heavier because of this.

"Flat body."

"My minister, thank you, Empress." Yu Chijiong didn't understand why the emperor sent him a secret order to discuss everything with the empress.However, he still obeyed the emperor's will.

"General Yuchi, did you come to see me today because you failed to trap King Lanling a few days ago?" Ashina asked after taking a sip of tea, moistening his throat.

"My humble minister is incompetent, please forgive me, empress." Yu Chijiong never expected that the empress empress living in the deep palace would know about this matter, thinking that the empress's initiative to mention it might be to ask for guilt, so she immediately knelt down and apologized.

"General Yuchi doesn't need to be so nervous. I just heard General Shenju mention it. You can't blame General Yuchi for this matter."

"Your Majesty is very aware of the details. This humble minister could have wiped out King Lanling and others. I didn't expect that some kind of celestial woman would know something and kill hundreds of my soldiers by one person."

Goddess, isn't she Yang Xuewu?Ashina sneered, Yang Xuewu, aren't you kind, don't you care about the people of the world?Didn't you use that gunpowder to kill so many soldiers in my Dazhou? Tiannv, I see, it is not an exaggeration to be called a witch. "It's just a woman who can write miraculous powers, heavenly girl, but someone with a heart to use to dispel rumors. No matter how powerful she is, she's just a person. What's there to be afraid of?" It's just a person. In the last life, how many people died for her?As for her, from beginning to end, she just saved King Lanling alone.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"General Yuchi has been stationed at the border all year round, and I thank you on behalf of the people of our Zhou Kingdom. If there is no general, how can there be peace in our Zhou Kingdom?" Ashina thought, Yuchi Jiong is a useful person, so what should I do? , pull him away from the impending imperial power struggle, and wait for the emperor to eradicate Yu Wenhu, so that he can entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

"Guarding the frontier is the duty of a humble official."

"Hmm. If there is nothing important, then step back." Ashina reckoned that it was time for Hui'er and Zhen'er to leave get out of class.I still have to go back to Fengyi Hall as soon as possible.

"Yes, Wei Chen retire."

The author has something to say: Here the eldest princess of Xiangyang is directly given to the butterfly, hehe [laughs so evil]

Let's play with the queen too~ Although it will remove Dou Hui's identity as the founding queen of the Tang Dynasty, there will be many scenes and it will be of great use.Do like smart kids, hmm.
