After I became a widow

"Master, something is wrong!"

On this day in Kyoto, several households heard the sound of housekeepers rushing to report the accident to the head of the house.

These high-ranking officials say what they say in Kyoto, and they also have eyeliners all over the place, especially Mizhou, which is not peaceful now.

Su Jingqing has already received the token from Mizhou, and these senior officials are well-informed, so they naturally know about it.

There were those who were looking forward to Xiao Beihuai's death in Mizhou, and those who had nothing to do with themselves and didn't want to participate. There were only two or three sporadic people who were worried that something serious would happen in Mizhou, and they were also afraid that Xiao Beihuai would never come back.

After all, not everyone wants the next emperor to sit on the dragon chair to be a fool with no brains.

But what appeared at their door this time made them realize that if the epidemic in Mizhou cannot be controlled, Kyoto will also pay a terrible price.

That piece of paper isn't scary, what's scary is the rag.

The rags are not ordinary rags, but from Mizhou, most likely worn by people infected with the disease.

If it is pasted on the door today, it may be sent directly to the home tomorrow, or the family members may be infected with the disease. Everyone knows how fast the disease spreads, and it will kill if it is not cured.

The most important thing is that there is no cure for the disease in Michigan.

Several Patriarchs couldn't help showing sad faces, Duke Huai didn't mention it, but his male concubine was cruel.

Some people scolded Su Jingqing directly, "You arrogant, shameless bastard, did he forget that the Su family is also in the capital? I'm not afraid that this epidemic will kill all the Su family!"

There were also people who ran around in a hurry, thinking about how to deal with it, and even sent someone to ask the doctor to come and check the pulse of the family members as soon as possible, for fear that someone in the family had already been infected.

As for the rest, they looked at the paper and sneered, Princess Huai was quite threatening.

Only in this way, the disease in Mizhou cannot continue to spread.

"It's cheaper for Xiao Beihuai."

"Send the news to Mizhou, the epidemic will stop here."

But other things can't just be left alone. Princess Huai wants to threaten the capital with the disease, and the common people must know about it. If there is a disease in the capital, they can go to the creditor.

Because of this piece of paper and rags, some people got together again, this time they didn't talk about how to get rid of Xiao Beihuai, but how they broke Xiao Beihuai's arm.

Don't let that Concubine Huai be too rampant, otherwise they might be the next Tang family.

The situation turned back from Mizhou to Kyoto at once.

Su Jingqing was also summoned by the emperor again and asked him to enter the palace to speak.

After the new year is over, no matter how angry Su Jingqing is, he should have passed. He has no choice but to enter this palace. Su Jingqing also guessed that the emperor summoned him to talk about the epidemic in Mizhou.

The Son of Heaven and Su Jingqing didn't have any polite words to say. After Su Jingqing knelt for a while, the Son of Heaven called out and asked straight to the point: "Do you know about the epidemic in Mizhou?"

Su Jingqing: "I just received the news from Mizhou yesterday."

The emperor asked again: "Aren't you worried?"

Su Jingqing said: "The prince is in Mizhou, so he is naturally worried."

The Son of Heaven took a deep look at Su Jingqing, "Now there is no cure for the disease in Mizhou, let alone when it will end, I am worried about Duke Huai, I want you to go to Mizhou to help me see him, are you willing?"

Letting him go to Mizhou was beyond Su Jingqing's expectation.

Thoughts turned a few times, Su Jingqing was wondering whether the emperor simply wanted him to see Xiao Beihuai, or wanted to take the opportunity to let him stay in Mizhou.

When the epidemic is over, Xiao Beihuai will return to Kyoto.

Once Xiao Beihuai came back, there were so many accounts to settle, apart from those with Xiao Yunyi and Zhong Guifei's mother and son, there were also those with the emperor himself.

Maybe it's because you're afraid of blowing the wind around your pillow?

Su Jingqing thought a lot, but before he could reply to the emperor's words, the emperor put on a straight face, "Why, you don't want to?"

Su Jingqing came back to his senses, "Yes, but I have a request. I want to ask my father to keep my family safe when I leave the capital."

The emperor still had a stern face, his eyes were a little cold, "I have already discussed the conditions with me, if I don't agree, do you still plan to not go?"

The emperor was obviously displeased.

Su Jingqing: "My son is going to go, but the prince is important, and the family is equally important. My son is greedy and never makes a choice."

At most, he put Xiao Beihuai in the same important position as his family, and he would never sacrifice and give up his family for Xiao Beihuai.

Su Jingqing met the emperor's cold gaze without retreating at all.

After a long time, the emperor looked away and smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "That also requires you to be able to hold back your greed."

"Man, I won't take care of you for you. You have to go to Mizhou too. If you want to be Duke Huai's concubine, this is the test I will give you."

Su Jingqing even made the emperor laugh angrily, and really wanted to remind the emperor that he, Princess Huai, was given the marriage by the emperor himself, since there was a test, why did he give him the marriage back then.

Before he could open his mouth, the Son of Heaven spoke again, "I know you are dissatisfied, but I'm also doing it for your own good. If you can't bear such a small matter, how will you accompany Duke Huai to take on the big responsibility in the future?"

"You are a man, neither can you give birth to an heir for Duke Huai, nor can you enter the court as an official, so you can only be trapped in the harem as a counselor for Duke Huai. Counselors are not only seeking to seek their family members, but also the world. That's good, you can take your seat securely."

"Duke Huai will ascend the throne in the future. There will be no shortage of people in the previous court, let alone in the harem. If you don't plan for yourself in advance, where can you be placed?"

The emperor is quite earnest, he looks like I'm all for you and for your sake, and he talks a lot when it's rare.

After Su Jingqing listened, he got the point. The emperor didn't intend to let him die in Mizhou, but went to Mizhou to help Xiao Beihuai, so that Xiao Beihuai could return to Beijing as soon as possible.

And the future path has been paved for him, let him not blow Xiao Beihuai's pillow and say things that should not be said. After all, Xiao Beihuai has a noble status, so he is not the only one.

Of course, by the way, he was also reminded that he would not be able to give birth, and secondly, he would not be able to become an official in the court, so sooner or later there would be new people by Xiao Beihuai's side.

Kind of kind.

But these can't change Su Jingqing's thoughts, he still wants it.

Su Jingqing bowed his head and cupped his hands, "Thank you for your instruction, Father, I will arrange everything before going to Mizhou."

"It's just that my son is not a benevolent person, and he protects his shortcomings. If those idiots who want to touch Erchen's family members are dealt with severely, please don't blame the emperor."

The emperor felt that he really chose the wrong person when he bestowed the marriage, and he shouldn't be staring at the Su family.

But fortunately, the imperial decree was changed and the person was given to the boss. If it hadn't been changed, Su Jingqing would be planning for King Yi now, and the situation would be even more different.

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven can't just ask Su Jingqing to ignore the Su family, but can only say: "You can arrange it yourself, the result depends entirely on your ability."

"Thank you, Royal Father. If Royal Father has no other orders, I will leave first." Su Jingqing bowed to leave after finishing speaking.

The emperor paused for a moment, and wanted to ask something, but he didn't say it in the end.

The spies said that Duke Huai and Concubine Huai often exchanged letters, but Duke Huai never wrote him a single letter since he arrived in Mizhou.

The emperor felt both lost and disappointed. His elder son refused to do a good job on the surface, which made him really worried.

Su Jingqing left the study of the Son of Heaven, and turned to look at the Empress Dowager again. The Empress Dowager was still the same, but she missed Xiao Beihuai very much, and Su Jingqing talked with her for a long time before leaving the palace.

Back at Su's house, Su Jingqing told about his going to Mizhou, which made Su's father so angry that he almost cursed the emperor with a few disrespectful words.

"Why do you get involved in everything?" Su's father was very puzzled, and even wondered if their Su family had committed a crime in their previous life and owed the Xiao family debt.

"No, I don't agree to this matter, I will go to the palace to find the emperor now, and let him take back his life!"

Father Su came up with such a solution after walking around the house a few times, and ran out the door as he spoke.

Su Jingqing hurriedly pulled him back, "Father, don't go, it's useless to go, and I also want to visit Mizhou, the prince and I have been separated for two months."

Father Su: "..."

Su's father glared at his son, hating that iron cannot be made into steel.

"Look at your success!"

Su Jingqing just laughed, "Do you think your eldest son is very promising and can chase after his husband thousands of miles away?"

Father Su stared, unhappy.

But he didn't have too much time to be unhappy. Su Jingqing had a lot of things to explain, especially since he had just threatened someone and was about to turn around and leave. Those people would definitely blame the Su family. Su Jingqing was worried about his family suffer.

Those old foxes have too many tricks in the open and in the dark.

Before Su Jingqing left, he gave gifts to the families of several officials who had sent letters earlier, stating that he was about to go to Mizhou. Bring back a big gift for you.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, he can find out whoever sent the news, let everyone wait in the capital.

As for whether someone would ambush and assassinate him on the road after leaking the news, Su Jingqing was not worried, because he would meet him if he walked quietly, and revealing his whereabouts would make people fearful.

The people in black may not care about the attitude of the emperor, but their friends do. After all, they have to live on the breath of the emperor.

His identity as Princess Huai brought both troubles and convenience, at least no one would dare to easily be charged with murdering Princess Huai.

Unless these people are sure to get rid of him and Xiao Beihuai in one fell swoop, there will be no future troubles.

Su Jingqing prepared for three days, and after setting everything up, he took people from Kyoto to Mizhou.

Then as soon as he left the city, he saw the old acquaintance of the man in black.

Su Jingqing spoke first, "The wound heals quickly."

"I would also like to thank Princess Huai for the great gift. I will always remember this, so I also prepared a great gift for Princess Huai when I came here this time."

The men in the black robe brought a person, a three-year-old girl—Princess Jingyang

A person who was supposed to be in the palace fell into the hands of the man in black at this moment.

The man in black laughed when he saw Su Jingqing's reaction, "Princess Huai is so smart, did you guess what's going on?"

Su Jingqing asked with a cold face, "Entering and exiting the palace is like no one's land, and you can even take the little princess away from the Palace of Virtuous Concubine. It seems that your status is really not low, so, what do you want to do?"

The man in black laughed, "As expected of Princess Huai, the guess is really accurate."

"I don't do anything, I just want to exchange something with Princess Huai. Last time you let someone hurt my arm, then you keep an arm today. Let's forget about our old enemies, and this little princess will be safe. Go back to the palace."

"Oh," Su Jingqing sneered, "Your Excellency says that this princess is smart, but in his heart he still thinks that this princess is a fool."

"You can take people out of the palace to threaten my princess once today, and you can have the second and third times tomorrow. My princess doesn't have so many arms left here."

The man in black smiled and answered, "Actually, legs are also fine, as long as they belong to the princess, you can keep anything."

"So, why do you think this princess will make this deal with you?"

"Then Duke Huai will only lose one niece," the man in black suddenly made a move, grabbing Jingyang's neck with one hand and lifting him up.

Su Jingqing shook his head slightly, "You always like to play this trick. This princess is a little bored, so I plan to get to know you today."

Su Jingqing raised his hand after speaking, and an arrow went straight to the man in black. At the same time, countless soldiers with bows emerged from the forest.

Su Jingqing said: "This is a good place, Your Excellency will ambush, and I will too. By the way, who do you think shot that arrow?"

The eyes of the man in black turned gloomy, "I almost forgot that you have hooked up with Ye Xiao, no wonder he was able to hide it from my eyeliner."

Su Jingqing pointed forward with her fingertips, "Because my princess will not keep you in the capital to harm my family, and I can only blame you for remembering to kill me too much."

The battle between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out, swords collided, arrows rained, Su Jingqing was protected by Si Yan and stepped aside, staring at the battle.

The black robe gritted his teeth angrily, but Jingyang didn't move. He could kill the little girl easily, but he didn't move.

Su Jingqing looked over with a pair of eyes, as if he had seen through everything.
