Zhou Chengyi's first reaction was that something happened to the emperor, and he frowned while walking inside and asked, "Do you know what happened?"

Chang Xia hurriedly followed, shook his head and whispered, "Your Highness didn't say anything, it's just that she got a gash on her face, it's not shallow, running here with blood on her face can frighten the servants."

"Why are you still injured?" Zhou Chengyi was startled.

"I don't know about this servant. She wanted to invite Her Royal Highness the Imperial Physician, but she didn't allow it. She just dealt with it briefly and refused to go in. Now she is sitting on the courtyard porch wiping tears."

Just as he was talking, Zhou Chengyi raised his head and saw Zhou Chengyu. He was sitting on the corridor in the courtyard wiping his tears as Chang Xia said, but when he suddenly looked up and saw him, he was startled by his tense face, like a firecracker. He bounced up, and choked up, "Yes, what happened?"

When I got closer, I saw that a wound on her face had been treated to stop the bleeding. It was not as terrible as Chang Xia said, but just a shallow scratch. Chang Xia originally wanted to wrap it up with silk, but Zhou Chengyu said " This small injury is too hypocritical" to refuse.

This is why Chang Xia was so anxious that he came out to wait for Zhou Chengyi.

But Zhou Cheng'an is the emperor's only daughter after all, a titled princess, even if she is not loved by the emperor, Chang Xia dare not let her have an accident in front of his eyes, so Zhou Chengyi still understands his urgency.

Hearing Zhou Chengan's words, Zhou Chengyi paused, realizing that he seemed to have misunderstood, so he asked carefully, "What's wrong?"

"Fourth brother..." Zhou Chengyu, who had already stopped crying, immediately rolled down his tears, really feeling extremely wronged.

Only after Zhou Chengyi asked did he realize that it was because of an awkward quarrel with Concubine Chen.

The emperor meant to hold a big birthday banquet. Since Empress Min was still recuperating in Zhangtai Mountain, he entrusted Concubine Chen to take full responsibility for it. I don't know what went wrong. They are ladies and young masters from aristocratic families.

That's all, Chen Concubine also happily mentioned to her that she wanted to see her and make a marriage contract early, saying that now that her father valued her, he could make a good marriage for her, and told her to be less involved with the previous court If you have time, you will learn more about female red embroidery, and you have to learn your manners again, what does this striding meteor look like.

Zhou Chengyu couldn't explain it, he was a child after all, no matter how scheming he was, he would always make a slip of the tongue, and in a hurry, he said that the emperor valued her talent, so he told her to marry early.

"How dare you say such outrageous things!"

Concubine Chen was terrified, and accidentally cut the embroidery that had been embroidered for several days. She didn't have time to feel distressed, and raised her head to cover Zhou Chengyu's mouth, forgetting that the scissors were still in her hand, and accidentally cut a hole.

Not only Zhou Chengyu was frightened, but Chen Concubine herself was so startled that she fell off the chair, frantically took the silk embroidery worth tens of silvers and generously pressed it on her wound, and asked someone to bring medicine.

However, Zhou Chengyu pushed her away, looked up at Concubine Chen stubbornly, wanting to cry, and said with a sob, "Mother, in your eyes, my role is only to marry and have children, right? The fourth brother praised me for being talented, why did you choose me, only you don't believe me?"

Concubine Chen was also very sad because of this questioning. Looking at the glaring red dripping on the carpet, she finally said nothing, and coaxed softly in a hoarse voice, "Ah Wu, let's not talk about this, your face The wound on the body needs medicine, let mother take a look."

"I don't want it!" Zhou Chengyu didn't want to let Concubine Chen touch him because of his temper.

Seeing the blood gushing out of her face, Concubine Chen became anxious, "Why are you becoming more self-willed and pampered, you can't tell me to worry, I—"

"Okay! My daughter will let you worry about it now, don't worry about it!" Zhou Chengyu, who had already softened a lot, got into trouble again because of this sentence, turned his head and ran away.

In fact, when she ran out and heard Concubine Chen's crying voice, she felt regretful. She knew that her words made Concubine Chen sad, but at the same time, she felt wronged when she thought of Concubine Chen's words.

She had nowhere to go, and it was impossible and she didn't want to bring this situation before the emperor. In the end, there were only two choices before her: either go back to the empty Fengyi Palace, or go to the East Palace to find Fourth Brother.

Zhou Chengyu naturally chose the latter, and Zhou Chengyi knew everything that followed.

"Then why sit outside and not go in?" Zhou Chengyi asked.

Zhou Chengyu kicked the stone beside his feet, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I'm reflecting..."

Seeing that she seemed a little guilty and unconvinced, Zhou Chengyi finally saw what a child should look like, held back a smile and pinched her bun, "Have you come up with any tricks in reflection?"

Zhou Chengyu pursed his lips, nodded, shook his head, and finally couldn't help asking, "Fourth Brother, is it because I'm a woman that I really can't even think about it?"

Zhou Chengyi paused, pinched Zhou Chengyu's bright and stubborn eyes washed by tears, and firmly denied, "Of course not."

"Then why did mother say those things?" Zhou Chengyu insisted on asking for an answer.

Zhou Chengyi pondered for a moment, then turned around and sat on the porch with her, and asked, "Do you know where your brother Ayan went?"

"I know, Shaman, that is a country that occupies a huge piece of land in the north. They are very powerful and have artillery in their hands." Zhou Chengyu answered these knowledge fluently.

"Yes, that's right, Sha Man. Then do you know that the ruler of this country is the queen?" Zhou Chengyi turned to look at Zhou Chengyu, and smiled, "And the queen gave birth to three daughters."

Zhou Chengyu's eyes lit up, realizing something, "The prince of Sha Man?"

"It's the Eldest Princess Aurora." Zhou Chengyi casually talked about the history of the Shaman Empress' ascension to the throne, and the Horse Princess Aurora who became the head of the Imperial Knights in her teens.

In the history books many years later, Zhou Chengyu recalled this incident and said to the official historian, "I have to thank two people in my life, one is Zhou Chengyi and the other is Zhong Liyue. The fourth brother let me ascend the throne, and the marshal let me sit firmly on the throne. Without one, Xiao Country would not have Queen Zhou Chengyu, but only Princess Luwu who married fifteen years ago."

"Anchang is prosperous, I am Anchang, and the fourth brother and the marshal should be prosperous."

It can be seen that today's conversation has left an imprint on her heart.

Zhou Chengyu didn't want the emperor to know about this, but there are many guards in the imperial palace, all of which are the emperor's hawks and dogs, how could he not know about this.

However, he did not embarrass Concubine Chen with this matter after all. He just wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Zhangtai Mountain. Not long after that, Empress Min, who had no sense of existence from concubine to empress, finally returned to the palace, and Zhou Chengyu's birthday banquet was arranged. She took over.

Empress Min was as careful as a hair, probably because she realized something, she came to Zhou Chengyi on purpose and asked if the East Palace could be borrowed to hold a banquet.

Zhou Chengyi knew what she meant in an instant, a thoughtful smile flashed across his eyes, he nodded and agreed, "As long as the empress has a legitimate reason, naturally there is no problem with me."

"Then I would like to thank Your Highness." Empress Min also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time looked up at the child who could be said to have grown up in front of her, and said with nostalgia, "You are very similar to your mother, both of whom are so desireless. Nothing."

Zhou Chengyi raised his eyebrows, shook his head and denied it, "It's just that what I want is not in the palace."

"It's said that nephews are like uncles, so it's true." Empress Min obviously thought of Zhong Liyue, and the smile on her face became more real, "You Zhongli's family are all righteous men and saints."

"I'm not a saint, but I think your empress is a saint." Zhou Chengyi said.

Empress Min also shook her head, looked in the direction of Fengyi Palace, and said meaningfully, "If you really have no desires, no desires, no envy, why bother to burn incense and pray to Buddha every day on Zhangtai Mountain, and dare not delay for a moment. But It’s just that I know that there are delusions in my heart, and I’m ashamed to be trapped in the mountains in order to be free.”

Zhou Chengyi looked thoughtful.

Zhou Chengyu's birthday banquet was held in the East Palace, it was really grand, all the officials and their families came in, the gift list was thick and piled up, and even the eunuchs who sang the ceremony were on shifts, not to mention the emperor's reward, which was equal to the prince's standard.

Prime Minister Fang and Grand Master Shen who knew the truth immediately understood the hidden meaning of the emperor's behavior, but those who didn't know were shocked by the emperor's love for Princess Luwu.

"The only princess after all." Most of them think so.

June seems to be harmonious, but treacherous conspiracies emerge in the dark.

In the Shaman Palace, Fang Guanyan looked at the palace army surrounding the station with an uneasy expression, and saw Aurora, who had been friendly before, coming in a suit of armor, and asked the people behind him to throw over the bound Yu Xiao.

Fang Guanyan immediately knew that his plan to have someone secretly send a letter out was in vain, pretending to be ignorant and angrily said, "What is the meaning of this, Your Highness? Is it to completely tear your face and become an enemy of my country Xiao?"

Princess Aurora spoke in Central Plains dialect this time, "It's not for me to decide whether to tear your face or not. I'm just the one in charge of carrying out the order. You don't have to be so guarded. I've told them not to hurt you. It's just a matter of trouble." You have been here for a while."

"You are the cornerstone of our relationship with Xiao Guo." She said so.

When Fang Guanyan heard this, he only found it ridiculous, and it was rare to show a sarcasm, "Her Royal Highness is cooperating with Beihu, but at the same time, she doesn't want to offend our country. There is a saying in our country of Xiao, which is greedy enough to swallow an elephant."

"It was my mother who first wanted to cooperate with Beihu, not me. I hate Brigude."

Brigude is the new Khan of Beihu. When Aurora mentioned him, his face was really disgusted, "However, you came too late. Long before the war broke out in the west, Brigude made an irresistible offer. The conditions borrowed twenty cannons, but the war was so fierce, but he never used it, which made me a little curious."

"Could it be—" Fang Guanyan thought of something, his expression changed drastically, and his lips turned pale.

Aurora raised her head and directly skipped the topic, "Our sincerity in wanting to establish diplomatic relations with Xiao Guo is serious."

"At least I am," she said emphatically.

Zhou Chengyi pinched his fingers to count the days when the letter came, but on the ninth day, he still hadn't received Fang Guanyan's letter from home.

Although since entering the territory of the Shaman, the interval between letters has been lengthened, from one letter in the first three days to five or six days later, and sometimes seven or eight days when it is slow, but it seems that it has not been delayed until the ninth day. Shadow, this is the first time.

Zhou Chengyi went to the Qianyuan Palace to inquire about the emperor, but the emperor laughed angrily, "I don't want to ask you to come to the court to listen to the government, and you are so anxious for a letter? Now is the time for negotiation, maybe something is delayed."

"Compared to this, look, the great victory in the west, your uncle will soon break through half of the Beihu and enter the Western Capital!" The emperor was so happy that he couldn't suppress his voice even coughing.

"Yeah, uncle is awesome, congratulations father." Zhou Chengyi's performance was extremely perfunctory.

But soon there was no letter on the tenth day and the No. 11th day. Such an uncharacteristic behavior not only felt bad for Zhou Chengyi, but also the emperor took it seriously.

"Father, I'm going to Shaman." Zhou Chengyi's face was very ugly. In the past two days, he kept thinking of the dangerous hexagram that Fang Guanyan made when he left. The uneasiness in his heart expanded infinitely, and he couldn't sit still. up.

The emperor frowned and reprimanded, "Nonsense. If there is really a change in Shaman, what's the use of you going, isn't it also sending you to death?"

"I have issued an urgent order to Pei Shengyi to send someone to Shaman. If there is any news, it will definitely come back. It will not be too late if you are in a hurry."

The other courtiers in the Tingzheng Hall were also trying to persuade the prince to calm down.

"No!" Zhou Chengyi flatly refused, "When I think that Ayan may be in danger, I can't sit still. Anyway, my father has already made other arrangements. It doesn't matter whether I die or not."

As he said that, he cupped his hands and strode out, it turned out that he already had the intention of going to death.

The courtiers originally thought Zhou Chengyi's attitude towards Fang Guanyan was extremely strange, but before they had time to think about it, they were thrown into confusion by the latter sentence.

The emperor was so annoyed by these words, he slapped the table and roared to be stopped by the Habayashi army, "Zhou Chengyi, what are you crazy about now? Instead of fussing about these useless things, why don't you think of a way, think about what Shaman is going to do?" do what!"

"What else can be done?"

Zhou Chengyi turned his head abruptly. At this moment, his mind was unusually clear, and his voice did not fluctuate, "Beihu borders Shaman, and my uncle is about to go to Xidu. When he was on a friendly mission, Shaman suddenly attacked Detaining the envoys, why do you say this is? What can they do for?!"

The courtiers didn't expect to go up here at first, but now their faces changed drastically, and Prime Minister Fang froze even more, and asked in disbelief, "You mean, Sha Man... wants to help Beihu?"

"I'm afraid it's not about helping, but already helping." Zhou Chengyi's analysis made sense, "Shaman may have cooperated with Beihu from the very beginning, and the establishment of diplomatic relations with our country is just a way to confuse, but in fact they have long been secretive. If we do it now, it means they have succeeded."

Not only did Zhou Chengyi have bad guesses about what he got, but the other courtiers were also shocked to realize what Bei Hu might be plotting now.

"Why?"

Zheng Yushi is still the calmest, he thinks this is unreasonable, "My Xiao Kingdom is now at its peak, with the already elite mail armor army plus Western cannons, wouldn't it be easy to capture a mere Beihu? Sha Man Why did you abandon allies such as Xiao Guo and help Beihu instead?"

There was no need for Zhou Chengyi to answer these words, Prime Minister Fang murmured to himself, "Because one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and also because there is no room for others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch."

Almost as soon as Prime Minister Fang finished speaking, he heard a hurried voice from outside: "Report——!"

Zhou Chengyi closed his eyes, his expression forbearing, the other courtiers almost subconsciously shivered, their expressions were indescribably terrified.

"Biography!" The emperor stood up in a "chuckle", and almost fell off.

The soldiers who came to report almost crawled into the listening government hall, but no one dared to laugh at him at this time. He climbed to the front, kowtowed and said, "Ru Chuan, danger!"

The author has something to say: I finally got to this point of the plot, so let me breathe a sigh of relief.

Next door opened a new pre-collection "Is the male protagonist neutered today", if you are interested, you can bookmark it, it is also Gu Dan's main attack.

Maybe when it will be opened to adjust life, after all, petting cats is good for physical and mental health, and cloud petting is also fine.
